As everyone knows, buying and selling local, organic, sustainable food can be a hassle.
Each individual shopper has to run hither and yon looking for this, that and the other. We're typical examples. We could go down the road for eggs, but just as soon as we made visiting the egg lady a habit, the raccoons got into her henhouse, she went out of business and then the new egg lady's chickens stop laying. Or we can stop in town and get them from a clerk in a non-food retail store on the QT.
We can always go to Scales Mound or Lena or maybe even Seward (local buffalo, how cool is that?) for meat products. There is even a meat producer on our road in the opposite direction of the egg lady. There's even a meat locker tucked away on a side street somewhere over in the next town. It's possible to get some limited fresh vegetables at the local farmers' markets. We can go to one or two on Saturday, another on Friday and even one on Tuesday. The closest one is five miles one way and the furthest we travel is 25 miles away. However, some days it seems like they have more bakery goods and knitted crafts than vegetables. We have to remember to order our Thanksgiving turkey in April, and buying brats in the summer can be hit or miss, depending on supply and demand.
When we go to Madison or Dubuque we try to stock up, but it never works. We always end up with too many cans of kidney beans and not enough dry black beans or not enough TP or two much laundry soap.
If we could just remember to buy a small case each of pickles, jams, peppers, etc in the fall at the farmers' markets, we could have farmers' market quality all winter. And again, if we'd just plan a little we could also make applesauce from local apples to have at breakfast instead of Florida or Brazilian OJ. We'd like to plan ahead and buy a CSA box but we're not here every Saturday morning in the summer and of course the drop off point, again, is twenty miles away.
We also have our own garden for the usual tomatoes, potatoes, beans and zucchini. And we enjoy the best zucchini bread, pasta sauce, pesto and garlic in the whole wide world—and we're not even going to tell you about the home-made cherry brandy.
It bugs us that we can't get organic wine and we can't even always get local craft beer. Although, for the moment at least, the local grocery store does carry some local beer. And we do like St. Pepin from Massbach.
And, if you think we have it tough, listen to the vendors' tale of woe. The vendor who loves to garden has to leave his garden and go to town or drive to the burbs. He then has to unload and set up his stand. And then stand there and stand there and stand there. If he likes to garden, he'd rather be with his radishes than talking to customers. If he likes to talk to his regulars and catch up on the news, he hates the mornings when he has to thin the carrots and weed the beans. When he has green beans, folks want yellow beans. His prices are cheap to compete with the big box stores, so he can't really pay himself for the hours he stands in the parking lot selling tomatoes.
It seems that a market farmer is always on the go. Get the cows in the truck, take them to be butchered, go back and pick up the packaged meat, have at-home days for local regulars, go to the local markets and then go to the burbs and oh, to keep everybody happy do some home deliveries, but at the same time hope that word doesn't get out.
Then at the end of the day, the farmer has to decide what to do with the no longer super fresh produce that has been sitting out in the sun all morning. Tomato juice, anyone?
Then the health department comes along with new rules or the old rules that they never bothered to enforce and says, "Sorry you can't sell that anymore… and I'm sorry but you can't do that anymore. I won't do anything this time, but next week…." And he leaves the vendor hanging. Some vendors have the OK stuff out on the stand and the "bad stuff" in the trunk. Even though deep down both buyer and seller agree the health inspection is a good idea.
And then it rains. The vendor knows she might as well go home early and the consumer knows that next Tuesday he's going to regret that he didn't brave a little rain, wind, lightning and thunder to get some healthy provisions for the coming week.
What's to be done??
Simple. Join the Northwest Illinois Food Co-op. (email@example.com)
Everything you need will be right there and the store will have convenient hours. You like meeting your farmer? Not to worry; he or she will be there on special "get to know your farmers" days. A local meat producer will be outside the front door grilling and selling his to-die-for brats. The beekeeper sans hives will be there. The butcher, the baker and (if we can find one) the candlestick maker will be there.
The egg lady, bee keeper, maple syrup guy, the fresh flowers lady, the goat milk soap lady, gramps with his pickles might not be there in person every day, but their wonderful produce will all be there every day.
And to top it off, your dollar stays in the community longer. Shop at the big box store and most of your dollars have electronically left the community before you get your groceries home. Shop at the co-op where the product is local, whenever possible, and the owners are the customers and your dollar stays here. It goes to the local producer and they pay local taxes, buy gas, donate to their favorite local charities and get a haircut in town. The money stays in the community much longer.

Let's not be absurd. A company is worth exactly what a purchaser will pay for it- no more, no less. Nobody's going to ovver $8, $4, $2, or even $1 a share for a company that trades at $.35. If we see a 50% premium on trading price with an offer, that would be well above average and would be an excellent offer at that point in time. I and many of the rest of us would likely vote 'no' on any offer we would conceivably see in the next couple years. But there are many millions of other shares out there, many of them held by institutions that would be foolish not to take that kind of profit. Thsoe of us most gung ho about holding are also likely to be the ones who simply don't have the liquidity to exercise the 'poison pill' if it came to that. If a buyout offer comes - which would surprise hardly anyone - it would be at a considerable but not outlandish premium. But it wouldn't be a multiple of whatever price the stock is trading at on that day. Share price for producers is driven by revenue, and GWMG hardly has any of that yet. This is not some sort of fly by night specualtive mining venture that a Rio Tinto or BHP would snap up for what's in the ground. An acquisition would be from a company like Toyota or another big conglomerate that is in the business of building things, and these are not companies given to excesses merely to indulge the flights of fancy of us retail investors.

1"I made an agreement with my eyes.
I promised not to look at another woman with sexual longing.
2What do human beings receive from God above?
What do they get from the Mighty One in heaven?
3Sinful people are destroyed.
Trouble comes to those who do what is wrong.
4Doesn't God see how I live?
Doesn't he count every step I take?
5"I haven't told any lies.
My feet haven't hurried to cheat others.
6So let God weigh me in honest scales.
Then he'll know I haven't done anything wrong.
7Suppose my steps have turned away from the right path.
Suppose my heart has longed for what my eyes have seen.
Or suppose my hands have become 'unclean.'
8Then may others eat what I've planted.
May my crops be pulled up by the roots.
9"Suppose my heart has been tempted by a woman.
Or suppose I've prowled around my neighbor's door.
10Then may my wife grind another man's grain.
May other men have sex with her.
11Wanting another woman would have been a shameful thing.
It would have been a sin that should be judged.
12It's like a fire that burns down to the grave.
It would have caused my crops to be pulled up by the roots.
13"Suppose I haven't treated my male and female servants fairly
when they've brought charges against me.
14Then what will I do when God opposes me?
What answer will I give him
when he asks me to explain myself?
15Didn't he who made me make my servants also?
Didn't the same God form us inside our mothers?
16"I haven't said no to what poor people have wanted.
I haven't let widows lose their hope.
17I haven't kept my bread to myself.
I've shared it with children whose fathers had died.
18From the time I was young, I've helped those widows.
I've raised those children as a father would.
19Suppose I've seen people dying
because they didn't have any clothes.
I've seen needy people
who had nothing to wear.
20And they didn't give me their blessing
when I warmed them with wool from my sheep.
21Suppose I've raised my hand
against children whose fathers have died.
And I did it because I knew
I had power in the courts.
22Then let my arm fall from my shoulder.
Let it be broken off at the joint.
23I was afraid God would destroy me.
His glory terrifies me.
So I'd never do things like that.
24"Suppose I've put my trust in gold.
I've said to pure gold, 'You make me feel secure.'
25And I'm happy because I'm so wealthy.
I'm glad because my hands have earned so much.
26Suppose I've worshiped the sun in all of its glory.
I've bowed down to the moon in all of its beauty.
27My heart has been secretly tempted.
My hand has thrown kisses to the sun and moon.
28Then those things would have been sins that should be judged.
And I wouldn't have been faithful to God in heaven.
29"I wasn't happy when hard times came to my enemies.
I didn't enjoy seeing the trouble they had.
30I didn't allow my mouth to sin
by calling down curses on them.
31The workers in my house always said,
'Job always gives plenty of food to everyone.'
32No stranger ever had to spend the night in the street.
My door was always open to travelers.
33I didn't hide my sin as others do.
I didn't hide my guilt in my heart.
34I was never afraid of the crowd.
I never worried that my relatives might hate me.
I didn't have to keep quiet or stay inside.
35"I wish someone would listen to me!
I'm signing my name to everything I've said.
I hope the Mighty One will give me his answer.
I hope the one who brings charges against me will write them down.
36I'll wear them on my shoulder.
I'll put them on my head like a crown.
37I'll give that person a report of every step I take.
I'll approach him like a prince.
38"Suppose my land cries out against me.
And all of its soil is wet with tears.
39Suppose I've used up its crops without paying for them.
Or I've broken the spirit of its renters.
40Then let thorns grow instead of wheat.
Let weeds come up instead of barley." The words of Job end here.

The John Muir Trust is the UK's leading wild land conservation charity, dedicated to protecting and restoring wild places.
Founded in 1983, the Trust takes its inspiration from John Muir, the Scots-born founder of the modern conservation movement. The John Muir Trust exists to protect wild land – for its own sake, and because it believes wild places are essential for everyone. Wild landscapes give us clean air, fresh water, wildlife habitat and help to regulate climate. And they provide economic benefits to communities through tourism and recreational activities.
The Trust owns and looks after some of the finest areas of wild land in the UK including parts of Ben Nevis, Knoydart, the Cuillin on Skye, and Sandwood Bay. It cares for these magnificent landscapes by restoring habitats; and it mobilizes teams of committed volunteers to plant trees, remove invasive species, clear litter, repair footpaths and other vital tasks to help restore these wild places.
The John Muir Trust also campaigns to protect wild land under threat from large scale development. And through the John Muir Award, it helps thousands of people to enjoy and care for nature.
If you love the natural world, support the John Muir Trust.

Well there is no doubt that this year the weather is going to be much more normal than last years was. There won't be an early Spring this year.
March 1st….clear skies and temperatures in the upper 20's. O.K., it's time to start riding again. The old Trek is in surprisingly good shape after spending the last six weeks on the back porch, often times covered with snow. The chain is still supple, the brakes work fine and the tires were only down about 15 psi!
As I almost always do, I headed off to the South East into the older section of the Town of Greece. It's cold so I'm riding at a very slow and leisurely pace of about 10 mph, keeping the wind chill to a comfortable level. The roads are clear of snow and there are only a few areas of refrozen snow-melt across the roads.
I enjoyed the quiet peace of Holy Sepulchre Cemetery but I wasn't alone. I spied a group of four white tailed deer gracefully bounding over bushes and headstones. I tried but could not capture a picture of these elusive beauties. The best I can do is show you where I last saw them. They ran behind this pond and that's the last I saw of them. Notice that little patch of green? That is the first grass I've seen in well over seven weeks. You'll also notice that the water is still a little stiff…
Normally I take the Genesee River trail from this point Northward to Lake Ontario. Due to the thick layer of frozen foot tracks I opted to stay on the roads along this stretch. Traffic was extremely light, thanks Libya!! Here's the Merry-Go-Round at Charlotte Beach, all but forgotten until the Summer season arrives. Notice all the green on the ground? Spring is getting closer!!
The beach is quite abandoned this time of the year too. It looks like it'll be quite a spell before anyone's sunbathing or swimming here about….
From here my little journey heads west towards Braddock Bay. Unlike the beach and park, the Bay is bustling with activity. No need for a boat to fish around here from December through March!!
It was a great little 25 mile re-introduction to "The Beast" and quite a teaser in anticipation for the next day of peaceful weather.

La Paz, Bolivia

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Gabriela is a young woman aged 23, who was born in La Paz, Bolivia. She is single and lives with her mother, stepfather and two sisters.
Gabriela says that she never had her father's support, however, she had a very happy childhood living with her maternal grandparents. Some time later, everything changed when her grandmother passed away. Her and the rest of her family went to live in Peru for three years and she started school there, where she was a remarkable and outstanding student.
They later returned to Bolivia at her grandfather's request and her mother set up her own business, which was the main source of household income. They had family problems and their income wasn't sufficient, so Gabriela began working at weekends as a waitress to pay for school and help her family.
When she finished school, Gabriela decided to study a biochemistry and pharmaceutical degree. Despite everything that happened before, she feels fortunate and believes that when she gets her degree everything will improve.
Her dream is to become a professional and specialise in a particular field with the aim of moving forwards and supporting her family financially. Gabriela is grateful to those who, through their economic resources, will allow her to finish her studies and in this way, achieve her goals.

Friday Estimate
Happy Friday! Let's do our estimations.
I've been housesitting for a friend, so I'm going to spend a little money getting things tidied up and replacing a few things I've used. I also have a coffee meeting this weekend, and am having a dinner in with a friend on Sunday evening, and need to do a grocery store run. I'm estimating $150 for this weekend, but will hopefully run under.
What are your estimations?

I ordered this top along with some of Adidas leggings. I wear them for working out and they make a great combo. They are especially handy for when I do yoga as they allow alot of movement and also does not show sweat patches. Such a great purchase. ... read more
This has to be one of the best bras I've ever bought. As someone with a small band but E cup, I find it really difficult finding something that can be supportive enough without necessarily being a high impact bra. My search is over now, as this bra offers the right amount of support, without being a bulky high impact bra, and in such a nice colourway! Definitely going to buy more of these. ... read more
I'm an active gal. Played D1 college soccer and have remained active since - running, hiking, yoga, climbing, etc...these are my favorite leggings ever. I have two long pairs and one 3/4 length. Light and breathable, yet sturdy. The high rise subtly smooths out any midsection imperfections, making me feel ultra confident no matter what position a yoga class has me in. I've had my first pair for over a year now, and they still never slid down even a bit while running. I've found my legging soulmates, and I'm buying another pair right now. ... read more
Simply-LoveIt:great support, great color..perfect cut. *the only one sml matter - it would be great if this item would be posted with more care..the padded part of the sport bra has got creases which is not that good ..apart of this I love this product. ... read more
I love these pants, and I receive compliments every time I wear them whether it's to the grocery store, over my ballet tights, or at home lounging. The only drawback to these pants is that they started pilling after the first wash. ... read more
First off, I'm VERY picky with sports bras simply because of the way my breasts naturally are. I need the bra to fit PERFECTLY or else I'm going with two bras. I wore 2 bras for working out for years because when I tried to wear a simpler compression bra by itself with no cup shapes, I was left with that nightmarish "uniboob" look and feel (most ladies know exactly what I'm talking about.) I'm a full C, sometimes D depending on the bra, so the 2-bra thing was something I've been wanting to rid myself of for the longest time. I work at an Adidas store and found this funky-looking bra and decided to try it on. I will say that the bra is quite daunting at first when you are attempting to just try it on. The way the straps cross over will likely have you saying "huh?" out loud. But I was able to eventually figure it out (after a few minutes of sweating) and, over a year later, I can say this is probably the best bra purchase I've ever made. I actually ended up buying three of them, and none of them show any signs of wear to this day. I know the bra offers fantastic support because I don't think about it when I'm exercising. I work out several times a week. The bra is pretty much true to your normal bra size, and I love how the sizes are based on cup/band sizes (32C, 36DD) as opposed to small/medium/large so that you can make sure that you get a bra that actually FITS. Honestly, the only bad part about this bra IMO is the first few times putting it on because you don't know what you're doing and it just feels like your suffocating even with the right bra size on. But, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the tightness you should be experiencing at first is a good thing. (If the bra's too tight, loosen the straps/clasps a bit, but you shouldn't have to do too much adjusting or else you likely have the wrong bra size.) Let me save you the stress of figuring out how to put this thing on: 1. Unhook the bra. 2. Loosen the straps to at least half the length. This will make the bra easier to pull over your head/arms/torso and keep you from damaging the bra's threading by over-stretching. 3. Pull the bra over your head so that the entire bra is below your bust, near your belly button. Turn the bra around so that the unhooked section of the bra is over your belly button. Make sure the hook sections are not flipped around or else the bra won't fit right. 4. Tighten the straps to your desired tightness and hook the bra together. You obviously won't know your go-to measurement at first, but you will eventually. 5. Twist the bra around your body and fit the cups over your bosom. Put your arms through the arm openings and pull the straps up to your shoulders. Just get past learning how to put it on and I believe you'll really love the bra. Worth your money! :) ... read more
Absoutely love this sports bra! I've tried other brands and found them very uncomfortable and tight around the shoulders, but no such complaints with this one :) I am a UK size 10 and the size small fits me perfectly, the material is soft and not at all irritating, and doesn't feel too hot and heavy either which is great when you're working up a sweat. It offers just the right amount of support for my workouts - I usually do resistance in the gym, yoga, or running - however if you have a bigger chest or do something a bit more bouncy you might want extra support (I'm a 32C usually). I initially bought this bra in the flash orange colour, really gorgeous, and have just bought another one in black. Great value for money as well. Would definitely recommend! ... read more
I've had my watch for about 3 months. At first it worked great and for every workout. Now it has trouble finding my heart rate and mid-workout it will drop my heart rate down lower than 100. I don't know who to call or who to contact to get it fixed. It was working great and want to continue to use it if it works. HELP! ... read more
This is an absolute MUST HAVE from the range - It doesn't look much when you initially feel it and look at it, but when I wear this I feel very comfortable and supported. Moulds to the body like no other and the material is fantastic! Can't say enough good things about this bra - Honestly, don't miss out on it or else you'll be sorry. ... read more
I am very happy with the colour and quality of tights. I am, however, not so happy with the fit and/or size guide. I always use M but I find the M in this pair of tights are smaller than previous pairs and they do slide down slightly depending on the sort of exercise I do. ... read more
I bought these tights for yoga and they were a great purchase. The high-rise fit is very comfortable and you don't have to worry about them slipping down or rolling up as you go through any of your yoga poses. Love the bright color options too! ... read more
I do track and field and I got this sports bra for that. I'm a size 34C which makes me a size 37" chest... I got size M for this sports bra. I like it, it fits like all the other techfit bras I have. My only complaint is that I wish the part that holds my chest were a bit tighter and more supportive. This is a pretty straight forward, standard sports bra but I wish it were geared a little more towards higher impact stuff.. because it looks (by the amount of fabric) that it would have a little more support. The band is nice and tight and fits, but it's not as tight on the chest as I'd like it to be. I've tried on a small and the band is WAY too tight, but the top fits more like I like them to (nice and tight, and secure). But overall, for the price it's an amazing bra. Hard to beat. ... read more
Cannot live without a sports bra, have had few so far this is very good - simple and comfortable does the job. have had others with twisted straps, all sorts of other bells and whistles but this one I like the most!!! ... read more
Took a while to figure out how to work it (mainly down to me not reading the instructions properly). Was a little disappointed that haven't been able to get it to sync to the multi sport app but the micoach app works well and gives accurate and detailed readings. ... read more
This bra was great for lifting and training, but not the best for cardio. If you like a looser fit for cardio, then this sports bra would probably work for you. I prefer a more fitted bra that works for cardio and training. It was made of super comfortable material however. ... read more
I am a total geek about training devices, programs and data and have had far more than my share of devices after competitive bike racing for several year. I have had the FitSmart for just over 1 year and have used it 5 - 6 times per week every week. Product Quality: Battery life is the same as the day I got, which is more than I can say for my phone. The heart rate monitor is just as accurate as chest strap monitors. Band is very comfortable and durable. Design:Well thought out an complete. The watch communicates with you via colored lights and vibrations to let you know what training zone you are in, if it's the right zone for the workout and gives you 5 seconds notice before a training zone change. You can workout with or without your phone and easily synch the workout afterward.

Everything about the setup of this bra is amazing. It starts with the adjustable width and Velcro adjustable straps (NO SLIP CLIPS!). Next, the material is super soft and absorbent so you don't feel that gross sweaty cling that other bras can give you. Last but not least is the support. Amazing and firm support that doesn't compromise comfort. It gives stability when running, jumping, yoga, etc.. but doesn't feeling like it's crushing your lungs. This bra is a dream for anything active. I'll be back to buy more in more colors! ... read more
Really great bra! works as a high support for smaller-built girls too. fits perfectly - tight but not constricting. Keeps you dry through solid workouts thanks to climacool. Comfy and flattering. washes and dries well, doesn't lose its shape or elasticity. The only way to improve would be to add in some slight padding, but it's not a biggie. Recommend :) ... read more

I am really pleased with this bra. Yes, it was a bit of an initial challenge to get it on, but I figured out the secret -- keep the back fastened on the first (widest measurement) and undo the Velcro shoulders for the first try on. Then adjust the shoulders and you're good to go. Very comfortable! ... read more
I bought these as part of a gift for my girlfriend's birthday and she adores them. The grey color is very versatile and looks great with navy as well as black outfits. In addition, she said they are the most comfortable pants she owns. She immediately wanted another pair. The height of the model in the picture along with the appropriate size helped me choose the size as well. Also, the quality is quite evident. Good job, adidas. ... read more
I bought this for personal training, really able to assist someone serious about improving their shot. No complaints, excellent ball (just a bit below Brazuca quality), fast charge, instant data. What's not to love. ... read more
The ball itself is great. It is of high quality construction, is easy to charge, and connects easily to the Android app on my phone. The app itself is very good for a product this early in its lifecycle. As an early adopter of the Zepp sensor for baseball, if the Adidas software team is anywhere near as good as the Zepp software team, I anticipate the app will only get better in a few months. It is already giving feedback to my daughter that she has not received in three years of playing travel soccer, and I expect this ball to elevate her game to a point that it would not get to without the feedback it provides. ... read more
The support is better than I expected. It's a bit tight, though. Color-wise, I picked orange and it's brighter than on-screen. It's nice, though if you like orange, especially if you have olive or darker skin like me. ... read more

With all the antitrust issues surrounding them lately, the last thing Google needs is another group upset by their business practices. But, after pictures taken by a Google Street View car in Botswana surfaced on the Internet, people were suddenly up in arms in discussion.
Why? The Street View images appear to show a donkey in the road in one frame, then down on the ground across the tire tracks in the next frame, seemingly struck by the Google vehicle.
As pictures of this variety typically do, it natrually went viral.
This prompted a response from the Google Maps team in the form of a blog post, appropriately titled "Never ass-ume," in which the team uniquivically denied that Google's driver struck the donkey and suggested that perhaps it was simply taking a dust bath, as donkeys like to do. Google said the donkey was lying in the road as the Street View car appoached, then got up and moved away before the car reached it.
To prove their point, the Google Maps blog post inclues four additional images that include views of the car, clearly indicating directionality. Through these images, it is clear the car is travelling toward the donkey and as the vehicle approached, the donkey then got up. Not the other way around.
Treating it as an expose and comparing the situation to the Zapruder film from the Kennedy assassination, the Los Angeles Times suggested that their readers indicate there was another vehicle involved on the road before Google's vehicle even got near the donkey.
One LA Times user even compiled a video and posted it on YouTube to demonstrate the concept. If you go backward about eight frames, you'll see the other car appear. Go back 10 frames and you'll see the donkey – alive and well – as the other vehicle approaches.
Google wins another round of scrutiny. The nay-sayers and Google haters can't pin this one on Google because we all know what they say about people who assume things.

Football, soccer, futebol, fútbol, calcio, le football, fussball, sakka, fotboll, sokker. It's known by different names in the world, but the Beautiful Game is universal and brings people together. Every four years, all geo-political and ideological differences cease, at least for a moment, and countries unite to cheer on their team to compete in the World Cup--all for the glory of truly being the best soccer team in the world.
The hope of the Twin Cities World of Football Meetup Group is to indeed bring people together, men and women of all ages, soccer players/non-soccer players, in the Twin Cities through the passion of soccer. You can be the soccer newbie who is learning the game of soccer and eagerly wants to learn more about the game. Or the casual fan looking to get together with a friendly social group to watch a soccer match or play a fun game of pickup soccer. Or the soccer fanatic who lives and breathes soccer, yet has a deep respect for the game and knows, at the end of the day, it's a game . Whatever your disposition, we invite you to join us.
First and foremost, this is a social group. We know that passion for the sport, team loyalties, and rivalries run deep for some. We appreciate that; but mutual respect for the members are just as important. Yes, we believe that fans of the United States National Team and the Mexican National Team can coexist in such a group. Or that fans of the Spanish teams of Barcelona Football Club and Real Madrid Football Club can watch their teams play, sit at the same table and have a pint of beer. Or fans of the English teams of Manchester United and Arsenal can agree to disagree, for example, on the ongoing discussion of club versus country loyalties.
If you are interested in sharing your passion and interest in soccer, please join us. We are a fun, social group and we hope to see you at one of our soccer events!
Let us know if you have any questions.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, Unveils Radical New Form Of Transporation, The 800-mph Hyperloop
Musk described the capsule as being aluminum that could carry both humans and car-sized vehicles. The tubes would form a loop shape, the long-lengths of which would travel parallel to one another. They would be made of steel, welded together, and will sit only about 100 feet apart held up by pylons. Those inside the tube could travel up to 800 miles per hour and, if traveling in a car-capsule, could simply drive out of the tube once the destination has been reached.

Lenze: PackML library for ladder logic programming
Designed to give machine builders and operators the ability to focus on motion, diagnostics, data collection, video on HMI, and more, Lenze Americas' library greatly simplifies implementation of PackML standards using ladder logic so customers can deliver safer and more predictable machines that collect data and can be operated and diagnosed without complex development software.
The library helps reduce the time and costs associated with engineering resources previously needed to convert and rewrite ladder code. By simplifying code requirements for movement through the PackML mode/state matrix, the Lenze library allows copy-and-paste replication of the original code for use by customers in the programming environment of their choosing.
Residing in the Lenze modular programming environment, the PackML library completes the standard outlined in ISA-88 Part 5 (Make2Pack). The Lenze reference library includes: mode/state model in ladder programming where the OEM can simply add their code; special function blocks that automate bi-directional (mode-to-mode) transitions in the model; graphic user interface – GUI – to configure the function blocks for mode operation; GUI feedback on machine operation as defined by PackML; recipe and alarm structures as defined in PackML using standard components in the PAC.
Users import the reference library, which contains seven modes defining states used in PackML. Modes can be expanded or reduced, depending on user requirements. A machine is programmed for modal operation by creating the code in ladder logic—or any IEC61131 language. Final configurations are stored and fed directly to the function block that controls movements between mode programs.

No Reluctance to release 'Fundamentalist' film
FILE - This April 21, 2013 photo shows actor Kiefer Sutherland at the premiere of "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" during the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Sutherland, known for his terrorist-hunting role on "24," says the attacks of Sept. 11 had a profound effect on him, but he focused on the great loss in this country. He says the new film shows how the attacks had a "ripple effect" that resulted in "the things I had the most: racism, prejudice, ignorance, fear." (Photo by Dario Cantatore/Invision/AP, file )
NEW YORK (AP) — Instead of being concerned about the release of "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" so soon after last week's Boston Marathon bombings, the cast says the film presents an opportunity for understanding.
Kiefer Sutherland, known for his terrorist-hunting role on "24," says the attacks of Sept. 11 had a profound effect on him, but he focused on the great loss in this country. He says the new film shows how the attacks had a "ripple effect" that resulted in "the things I hate the most: racism, prejudice, ignorance, fear."
"The script took a look at it from that perspective and I hadn't and I was embarrassed that I hadn't thought about it," he says.
Director Mira Nair adapted "The Reluctant Fundamentalist," also starring Liev Schreiber and Kate Hudson, from the bestselling novel of the same name. It's the tale of a Pakistani man named Changez, played by Riz Ahmed, who returns home after his American dream is crushed following the 9/11 attacks and is now suspected of involvement in the kidnapping of an American in Lahore.
Nair said she saw the film as "a chance to make a modern tale about a young Pakistani who dreams of America but also as a dialogue between America and Pakistan" and an opportunity to erase misunderstanding.
"We are riddled with Islamophobia, we are riddled with xenophobia in many, many ways" she said, adding that she wanted to create "a bridge between two worlds that I know and I love and desperately need to understand each other."
Ahmed said he thinks the recent events have created "an appetite for people to see a film like this."
Nair calls last week's events tragic, but added that "it's another reminder how the suffering that is global, that you see every day in other places in the world, has now become local."
She says what her film does is examine the "mutual suspicion" between cultures and strips it away to show that "we are not so different."

Great idea, hard to use
Very great idea. Interface looks great. Missing basic functionality that would make it easier/faster to use. For instance, dragging a task to another day when defering. Click on the task area to create a new task. Keyboard shortcut to delete a task or note. Basically everything in this app requires a mouse and pretty much every single task is a right click making it a bit cumbersome and hard to add multiple tasks at a time and schedule things out.
Clicking calendar entries does not highlight them. At first I thought they were disabled, but I guess double clicking them opens up a preview of the entry with an edit button that lets you see more details/edit. Editing an item you have to specifically click OK. Can't just type a task in, press enter or key combination to quickly save the task. Again, type, move mouse to button, click OK. I know it's only 2 steps, but most of us have more than 1 task to enter at a time for a day.
Minus the ease of use, the app is a great idea/start. Unfortunately, I am not going to use it; this app is designed to simplify a day and to save time, but I find myself spending more time using the app then just writing things down on paper.
Best one out there!
I've had this for a week now and this has been the best find for me…Best app I've ever purchased! sync my ipad and iphone with no problems at all. Customer service has been great, always getting back to me within 24 hours. If you are a paper planner person(I've used FC for years) and have been trying to find an electronic solution, this is it! I've tried them all so save your money and go with this one. I believe there is a lite version for IOS so you can play with that first.
Overall the usability is excellent, very little customization is available but that's a good thing. My ADD/Anal side will want to tweek this til the sun comes up so keeping it simple and using it within the framework of the design is what I needed. This isn't Microsoft or Apple where they can Beta test the product before launching, so we the users must give feeback so if you buy it, give the developers your feedback. Especially if there are bugs or annoying design features.
At any rate I have been so happy to have found this app. Best of luck to you planners out there!
Tried emailing the company first as requested above, but kept getting "delivery fail notifications" so I figured I would post my email/complaint here:
"I am growing disappointed in your PlannerPlus for Mac desktop app. I regret spending so much money on this because the iCalendar is more user-friendly. I should be able to easily copy and paste events, but there is no way to do this without setting up a repeating schedule which isn't always appropriate for my schedule. In addition it does not always save changes I've made or repeatedly creates an event from, say, 7a-7p when I have repeatedly put the end time as 5pm. I cannot trust that the schedule I look at is going to be accurate with triple checking after each even is created. And even minutes after the event is created it will randomly disappear. What the heck?! For $20 there should be more fluid functioning. I have tried quitting and restarting the app several times, but it is always the same problems. I dare not delete the app and reinstall it because I tried that too and lost everything. Please correct these bugs and inconveniences ASAP or out of respect for future customers I will have to post this review to warn them."

text: Like many still developing technology modern AF has some applications where it can make a deference in keepers. A fast moving bird in flight captured by predictive follow auto focus for instance. Other fast evolving situations etc. Otherwise, in 35mm SLR's, give me an all matte grid screen and eyepiece correction set for my eyesight. There is a certain delight in focusing a precise, well damped, manual focus lens. And even with manual focus I often go for zone focus with an aperture that allows for enough DOF to cover the scene.

Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. is providing the following update to shareholders.
Although difficult financial market conditions persisted during the first eight months of 2012, the company was able to accomplish a number of goals set out at the onset of the year. On April 2, the company received an updated resource estimate for the Elk Creek niobium deposit including the following highlights:
- Addition of higher-grade indicated-status tonnage of 19.3 million tonnes grading 0.67 per cent niobium pentoxide;
- An increase in inferred-status tonnage and grade from the previous resource estimate (see news release dated April 28, 2011) from 80.1 million tonnes grading 0.62 cent Nb2O5 to 83.3 million tonnes grading 0.63 per cent Nb2O5.
On July 19, the company announced the finalization of a joint venture agreement concerning the company's Australian properties which included the following highlights:
- Quantum will retain a 20-per-cent carried-to-production interest in the project.
- Quantum will be reimbursed for its previously incurred exploration funds (estimated at $100,000 (Australian)) and will receive 3.75 million common shares of Victory Mines upon successful completion of its initial public offering on the Australian Stock Exchange.
Victory has since informed the company that all necessary documentation for its IPO has been filed with the ASE, whereby Victory is planning to raise $4-million (Australian) at an initial-public-offering price of 20 cents per common share, with an anticipated closing date and listing of its common shares in September, 2012.
In addition, the company has signed non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with several parties concerning potential joint-venture and/or financing arrangements for development of the Elk Creek niobium project. While discussions continue to advance, readers are cautioned that there is no assurance that these discussions will result in any transaction.
The company has also reached an agreement through its wholly owned subsidiary, Silver Mountain Mines Corp., Perry English for Rubicon Minerals Corp., concerning Silver Mountain's interest in eight claim units located in the Kenora mining division, Ontario, Canada, whereby the company will issue 400,000 shares to Mr. English in lieu of a cash payment that was due pursuant to the underlying option agreement between Silver Mountain and Mr. English dated July 31, 2009, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The company entered into a subsequent option agreement dated Nov. 28, 2011, with Titan Goldwork Resources Inc. whereby Titan can earn up to a 70 per cent interest in the Tait property (see news release dated Nov. 28, 2011, for complete details) which remains in effect.
We seek Safe Harbor.

Medieval Ireland maintained its independence from England until after the Norman invasion in 1066, and was a major center of European culture during the early Middle Ages. The Celtic monks of the British Isles, who produced the immortal Book of Kells, preserved much of the priceless knowledge of the Roman Empire while the rest of Europe was in chaos. (And for the Scottish customer who requested that I specifically credit the Pictish monks: here it is, my Lady). I imagine this elegant pair of earrings being worn by one of the cultured Medieval Irish queens of Tara during this period.
The earrings feature sterling silver spiral 9mm. pendants, accented by the most Irish of all gems: green Connemara marble. Rare and lovely Connemara marble is found only in the west of Ireland, and is also known as the Irish national gemstone. It is becoming increasingly expensive and hard to find. The soft misty green beads are always hand-drilled, and the color always reminds me of the green moss over weathered stone that I saw on ancient structures throughout the British Isles.
The spiral sterling pendants are accented with 6mm. smooth beads of earthy green garnet (also known as demantoid or grossular garnet). The clusters are 4mm. Connemara marble beads, worked on sterling silver-filled pins with silver bead accents, a total of 22 in the pair. All are worked to sterling silver rolo chain.
They hang from sterling silver French hooks, set with a smaller spiral pattern. They measure 2 & 3/8" total, and 1 & 5/8" without the wires. They include rubber stoppers for added security.
The spiral was a very important symbol in ancient and Medieval Ireland, signifying the eternal path of the soul toward God. Spirals were found carved on rock throughout the Neolithic burial site of Newgrange in Ireland, the most important Temple of the Sun in ancient Ireland.
Perfect for Renaissance or Celtic Faires, these are also a very sumptuous and distinctly Irish Medieval pair of earrings for everyday wear. They would retail in a good historical reproduction jewelry catalog for about $95.
Wear them with a simple long dress and feel like a fabled Queen of Tara!
The last scan shows one of the Connemara marble quarries in the West of Ireland. These beads are from the famous Lissoughter quarry.
All metals are sterling silver and sterling silver-filled, and all Connemara marble and green garnet beads are genuine.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully laced road wheel spokes and rims to their MTB hubs. I'm looking to do some serious double duty on my MTB ('01 Cannondale F700) in the form of utilizing a set each of full off road and on road wheels and tires.
Has anyone done this successfully? Have you done it on a bike with disc brakes (I'm not sure if that this point matters or not).
If so, are any rim/spoke combinations better than others for this type of application?
thanks for all replies...

WW II Veteran Receives KU Diploma On 90th Birthday
Associated Press - December 14, 2013 9:45 pm
The Hall Family Foundation has made a $1.46 million gift and challenge grant to the University of Kansas to support the humanities.
A World War II veteran from southwest Kansas has received a diploma for a degree he didn't know he had earned.
Warren Spikes of Hugoton was half a semester away from earning his bachelor's degree at the University of Kansas when he was drafted. He didn't return to school after the war and thought he hadn't completed the degree.
But his family did some digging and discovered he had the right credits all along, just not in the right places. An unusual feat of the registrar's office and Spikes' relatives pulled them together.
Spikes got a special surprise from his family when he turned 90 this month: a framed diploma. Spikes says he's honored and "certainly glad to have it."

TIPPIT, J. D. (1924–1963). J. D. Tippit, police officer, was born in Clarksville, Red River County, Texas, on September 18, 1924, to Edgar Lee and Lizzie Mae (Rush) Tippit. He attended public schools through the tenth grade and during World War II served as a volunteer in the Seventeenth Airborne Division of the United States Army from July 21, 1944, to June 30, 1946. On December 26, 1946, he married Marie Frances Gasaway in Clarksville, moved with her to Dallas, and went to work for the Dearborn Stove Company. He worked in the installation department at Sears, Roebuck and Company from March 1948 to September 1949, when he resigned and moved to the farming community of Lone Star, where he attempted to raise cattle. Listing "general farming" as his course of training, he attended a Veterans Administration vocational training program at Bogata, Texas, from January 1950 to June 1952, and then withdrew to move again to Dallas. After working for a while as a carpenter's helper and doing odd jobs for a steel company, Tippit joined the Dallas Police Department as a patrolman on July 28, 1952. His usual assignment was day patrol in Oak Cliff, and he did some off-duty work to supplement his income. In 1956 he was cited for bravery for his role in disarming a fugitive from justice. Tippit was killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, assassin of President John F. Kennedy, on November 22, 1963, after stopping Oswald for questioning on an Oak Cliff street (see KENNEDY ASSASSINATION). In January 1964 he was awarded posthumously the Medal of Valor from the National Police Hall of Fame and in June of that year was given the Police Medal of Honor, the Police Cross, and the Citizens Traffic Commission Award of Heroism. Tippet was a Baptist and the father of three children. He was buried in the memorial plot at Laurel Land Memorial Park, Dallas.

|Kinetic study of the olive oil degradation monitored by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry. Applied to the oil characterization.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23137053 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|A new approach for the determination of kinetic parameters of the cis-trans isomerization during the oxidation process of 24 virgin olive oils belonging to 8 different varieties is presented. The accelerated process of degradation at 100 ºC was monitored recording the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra. The parameters obtained confirm a pseudo-first order kinetic for the degradation of cis and the appearance of trans double bounds. The kinetic approach affords the induction time and the rate coefficient; these parameters are related to the fatty acid profile of the fresh olive oils. The data obtained was used to compare the oil stability of the samples with the help of multivariate statistical techniques.. Fatty acid allowed a classification of the samples in 5 groups, one of them constituted by the cultivars with higher stability. Meanwhile, the kinetic parameters showed greater ability for the characterization of olive oils allowing the classification in seven groups.

Virtual Lies and Illusions
Topic of the Hour: Deceit in the Internet Age
This post is primarily for the benefit of those who regularly read my posts, as they'll notice I snark about and use certain terminology that is largely, not necessarily originally (and possibly incorrectly) invented or perpetuated by myself to refer to certain behaviors online. 'Virtual Lies' exists largely to define some of that terminology. These behaviors fall primarily in the realm of politics, but are often little more than real life tactics modified for the digital world. That first bit said, I think this might offer some insight for others as well, as these tactics are be common to all sides of the spectrum, and even falling outside of politics and into other forums of debate. I believe this sheds some light on things that I've said before, and perhaps on my attitude of cynicism to politics in general.
On to it - Okay, that's a rather vague term, "behavior" and I use it because I didn't want that to get in the way of explaining the purpose of this post. However, it's pretty obvious that I'm talking about Lies. Deceit. Dishonesty. Shenanigans. Smoke and Mirrors. All of the above, or choose your own. When it comes to the political arena, there's a tremendous amount of shamelessness. Online anonymity adds an entire extra dimension to the act of lying that makes it easier to accomplish things one simply cannot get away with as easily in real life. New tactics are developed that achieve the same garbage people pull back here in The Real World. I could go on for pages about these tactics, but I'm going to stick to listing terminology, a definition, and an example. We'll start with a basic one...
1. Sock Puppets . Not entirely my term. Any internet regular is aware of those accounts/personas that are created for the sole purpose of being a pain in the backside. They're not... real, but their effect is. In terms of political propaganda, the purpose is different... either to incite controversy, assassinate character or to grant unwarranted credibility to an issue. Example: An article is posted by a doctor stating categorically that cancer has a cure that is suppressed for the sole purpose of raking in money on cancer treatment. A moment's check on the link to the doctor's supposed place of work reveals that he doesn't exist. Meanwhile, a new urban legend is born, and cited as gospel truth. Heard of Lindsay Williams and his "BP-Oil death squads"? Difference is, he's real and can be held accountable for what he claimed.
2. Date-Stripping . Chalk this up under "Omgz, the lamestream media's ignoring ____!" This is the practice of taking a very old article, ideally with mention of a day of the week (i.e. Thursday), removing any numerical date references from it, and then presenting it as if it were a new article. Example: There was a guy who made a really impassioned speech about something to do with 9/11. Financial aid for firefighters, or something? I don't recall, but it was a great speech. Made 10 years ago. It was date-stripped and presented as an indictment of the current administration... after all, it isn't reported in today's media, that means they're suppressing it. Right....?
3. Scrubbing . This practice really isn't much different from the real life practice of white washing one's personal history. It basically means removing certain controversial information from one's website so that it doesn't come back to haunt you. Not a completely naive practice, as it works, but some amateurs are known to leave incriminating link names up. Example: Remember Dove Outreach? Specifically the Quran-burning (free speech!) controversy? Just before that mess went down, they scrubbed their website of references to their "Support Westboro Church" campaign and pretended it never happened. Kind of pointless, since they're cited in numerous other press articles, but I guess you can always call the media liars; it's true often enough.
4. Snopesing . This is the act of adding a (usually half-true, but occasionally blatantly untrue) citation as authentication of the truth of an article. Example: A number of fact-checking resources exist on the internet, much to the dismay of deceitmongers. One of these is Snopes, which focuses on debunking urban legends, many of them political. At some point, people started realizing that calling Snopes a bunch of dirty liberals (debunking propaganda pisses off the propagandists) , or more rarely conservatives, just wasn't working. They began the practice of adding the words "Even Snopes says its true!" or the like to their articles. The expectation is that you will take their word for it and not look on Snopes or at least not read it closely. Sadly, given the ideological mindsets people have, many do exactly that.
5. Fauxtography . (1) Not my term. Uploading pictures that are photosphopped, part of an incomplete set, taken out of context, or otherwise represent a completely different take on an event than what has actually happened. Example: I've posted on this one (A Picture Worth Too Many Words) (2) before because there's an article that surfaced on a news site sometime back alleging grand scale pedophilia in the form of a mass wedding in Gaza by older grooms to child brides. Accompanying the article is a picture of many men lined up with little girls in dresses waving flags. After locating the site the picture came from, it turns out the little girls are their equivalent of bridesmaids. Classy, really.
This list is by no means comprehensive, and really only serves to shed a little light on some of the words I've used and will continue using in future posts.

The Basset was bred for hunting rabbits. The fact that his nose is so close to the ground makes this not only possible, but obvious. The Basset Hound is second only to the Bloodhound in trailing ability. He will hunt alone or in a pack. One theory about the Basset's origin is that French monks tried to breed a hound that would be slower moving (thus shorter legged) so as to be easily followed on foot. The Basset was brought to England in the mid 1800s, but it was not until 20-odd years later that the British became really interested in the breed.
The Basset is a sturdy animal, gentle of disposition and a devoted member of his family. Some consider the Basset Hound an ideal housedog.
