Does any one here have past experiences with hi-power cycles, good or bad looking to hear it all.
Does any one here have past experiences with hi-power cycles, good or bad looking to hear it all.
Is there anyone else or another company someone would recommend looking into?
I'm looking for a fast reliable e-bike and there "40 mph" bike sounds like a good amount of speed to me. Anyone you know of that builds one with a similar or higher speed?
Hi-power Cycles has been around a while. They seem to be a pretty good company except for being pretty expensive. I think they are in Australia so that's one reason why the prices are higher. If you want to go 40 mph, I think you are better off with a motorcycle. The wind resistance above about 28 mph is really rough on your range and speed. Above 28 mph, the amount of money you spend to go faster is pretty much exponential and is the power required.
I haven't looked at their prices lately but I know from the past that their batteries are pretty much 3x more expensive than if you bought them yourself from hobbyking.com . The batteries they sell are basically just LIPO but they sell $400 batteries for $1000. You could put your own bike together for probably half the cost unless you are buying one of their custom made ones. In the beginning, I wanted to go 40 mph but it's just so expensive and after riding my electric bike for a year, I don't mind going 25 mph. If you do want to go 40 mph, LIPO batteries is probably your best bet, though.
You could probably do 40 mph with probably 72v 15AH LIPO pack and 48amp controller with a 5303 hub motor or a 2806 nine continent. I've gotten my 5303 hub motor bike up to 35 mph on 48v with a 35 amp controller but it took a while.
EDIT: I just looked at their website. I guess some of their batteries are lifepo4. If you want to go 40 mph, I'd still probably use LIPO to do it. If you want to go slower, I'd use lifepo4.
Now, if you truly want a high-speed, ready-made e-bike be prepared to open up your wallet. You will pay a premium because these bikes must meet NHTSA standards. They will have beefier, better frames and brakes. One such bike, which is also hand-made in the US, is the Optibike. You will pay almost as much as you would for a motorcycle. Again, your state may treat it as a moped, too. These bikes get a good review, but I would hope so since many models sell for $10,000 or more. http://optibike.com/
E+ Electric Bikes, based in Reston, VA, sells e-bikes that have been converted with high-speed motors. They used to market bikes with special frames but seem to now use bike frames they've bought off the economy (whether this is a sign that their sales have fallen significantly in the recession, I don't know). I'm not sure how they're able to meet NHTSA standards. It really doesn't look like they've modified the bikes frames and brakes to meet moped safety standards. However, their prices are more reasonable. http://epluselectricbike.com/
You should be concerned about safety with any bike, but especially an e-bike and more importantly one that can go extremely fast. I'd be hesitant to buy an e-bike that can travel over 20 MPH if it doesn't have a beefier frame and brakes. Putting a powerful motor on an unmodified bicycle engineered for human power, not a motor, is a disaster in the making, IMHO.
Good luck. Take time to educate yourself. I would suggest you do some reading on the Endless Sphere forums. http://endless-sphere.com/forums
I am not to concerned with getting pulled over for riding a bicycle. However safety is another issue
True that, from first hand experience - you can think of a lot when you are flying through the air. I suggest taking a few days of Judo lessons to learn how to land properly.
My two cents'
ATTENTION: HPC is terrible; do not buy from them. DO NOT BUY FROM HPC
I recently bought the hardtail bike from HPC. They would not listen to me when I requested they make my tires tubeless; instead they said they would put triple-thick tubes and kevlar liners in there. They did not put the kevlar liners, and I just got a flat. They continued to make excuses for not putting in the kevlar liners. They also forgot to send the rack with the bike, which I had ordered.
One ****ty thing about the hub motors is they have a lot of drag to them. This means pedaling the bike without power is absolutely terrible. It's like pedaling through very thick mud. The bike is essentially useless unless you have power.
HPC exaggerates their range by about 100%, meaning you can bet on an actual range of about 1/2 the number they report.
They do not understand discharge rates of batteries, so they produce sub-optimal battery systems.
They are very disorganized. Every time I would call to ask a question or request something, it would take them 10 minutes to look up my order. They said the only record tracking they have is in quickbooks.
Although the bike works and wasn't too terrible to set up, I feel very ripped off buying this bike. I bet you could build one yourself, with minimal effort (maybe takes a day or two) for 2K, when the bike from HPC costs 4K. How does 1K/day pay sound to you? You could probably also pay a bike shop to set up the bike for less than $500.
I'm pretty sure these are just some socal brats, the sons of rich mofos, who wanted to ride electric bikes and not work, so they got some money from their parents to start an electric bike company to make it appear to their parents they were working, when in fact, they dick around on e-bikes all day. They do not appear to give a single **** about the customer. So far, Derek is the only one at the company who seems to actually care a little bit.
Oh yeah, and one more thing. For their hardtail, they use the ALITE 500, worth about 800 bucks. This bike is not easy to fit with a rack or fenders, making the bike even more useless and less robust.
So, $800 for the bike, around 1K-1.5K for the battery / motor / charger, 50 bucks for a light, and these guys charge 4K for that. Total rip off and not worth it. Might as well custom build it for now. Although I would recommend a mid-drive so you don't have the ridiculous drag from the hub motor, although I'm not sure there's kits out there for that.
The whole experience has pissed me off so much though that I might start making some of my own. Will let you know asap. :twisted:

This important notice only pertains to non-menthol Juicy Jay's® papers sold or consumed within the USA Juicy Jay's® papers were previously sold for both tobacco and legal smoking herb use*. However at this time we have ceased selling non-menthol Juicy Jay's® papers for tobacco usage until further notice. We have recently taken extraordinary steps to ensure that Juicy Jay's® papers are now only sold only for use with legal smoking herbs. While this will stymie the sales of Juicy Jay's®, we believe we have no choice but to refrain from allowing the product to be used with tobacco due to statements made by the FDA. Believe me, we don't enjoy losing sales but it is better to sell "some" then "none". While we at HBI disagree with the FDA and are reserving all of our rights to continue to challenge the FDA, we have, for the time being, made this decision. HBI is also known as Herbal Bar Industries. Flavored papers have always been of particular interest to us and our customers because some stronger tasting herbs (such as Passion Flower) are very harsh to smoke. Flavored papers, without actually flavoring the herbs, lend a mellowing effect to those strong tasting herbs and make them more enjoyable to smoke. Thus we began selling flavored papers pre-packaged with our own house blends of legal smoking herbs (Buddha's Blend, Tribe, Sativah, Demonilia, Prozesmoke, Lover's Blend, and Bulldog) as well as selling flavored papers in bulk 24 ct boxes for consumers to be able to purchase for use with their own legal smoking herbal blends. We hope to obtain a ruling that will allow flavored papers to once again be used with tobacco. However until and unless that ruling is issued we will continue to refrain from selling flavored rolling papers for use with tobacco and we will take every reasonable precaution to ensure that our flavored papers are not intended to be used or actually used with tobacco.
Therefore we are requesting that all smokers refrain from using Juicy Jay's® papers with tobacco. Please do not purchase or use Juicy Jay's® papers with tobacco. They are only to be used by adults with legal smoking herbs or blends (so long as that herb or blend is legal and contains no tobacco). Juicy Jay's takes the sale of our papers with *only* legal smoking herbs very seriously. If you encounter a store or retail outlet that you think might be selling Juicy Jay's Flavored Papers with tobacco or tobacco related products please report them anonymously here.

What is a good lotion to use to prevent stretch marks?
I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just wanted to know what a good lotion is to start using for strech marks! Thanks

Cocoa butter isn't a miracle, it's genetics. I knew I wouldn't get stretch marks on my tummy because my mom and sister both didn't and I have always had a tiny pooch instead of a flat stomach, and have elastic-e skin as well. I never used lotion unless I was itchy (which doesn't mean you will get stretch marks, most women are itchy when pregnant) and that's not very often for me. But my boobs on the other hand....I have tons of stretch marks on them because I was a small B and went to a medium-large C (the thing is my sis and mom didn't grow at all there!). Don't worry about stretch marks. they are ugly and purple when they are new, but once they are older they're just white (or your skins tone) and hardly noticeable at all! You can look into what your insurance covers of the laser removal of stretch marks, but I don't think that's really worth it in the long run, you can't even hardly see them!posted 04/07/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I would take a vit E pill or something- it's not what out but whats in. I was going good until my last month and then it was down hill from there! LoL It's really how elastical your skin is- I got them but my siste didn't everyone is different.posted 04/07/2010 by fowaites
Wow, baby center member who "teases" her friend, talk about self absorbed. Your friend must think you are a real beeotch for telling her she cant call herself a mother without feeling a contraction or getting stretch marks. My friend just had her baby yesterday and had to have an emergency c-section, does that make her less of a mother too? Or is she good because she felt pain before she had it? Talk about beeeeeooootch. Everyone is different so you shouldn't be so self absorbed to think you are all hot for having natural births.posted 04/07/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

I use cocoa butter with both of mine, none so far .....did get them on my butt last time this time I'm buttering the butt and none so far, do the breasts too started to get them when the milk came in, but they went away, some is genetics too, but lotion is always good for the skinposted 04/07/2010 by ruthless09
coco butter! my aunt used it her whole pregnancy, not a single stretch mark!posted 04/07/2010 by inspiredinlife
Honey! There is no miriacle lotion for stretch marks. Sorry to bring the bad news. I thought the same way when I was pregnant, if I lathered myself up with lotion as soon as I started getting a bump it would help... didn't notice I had gotten stretch marks until after my baby was here. Which was good, because I could have cared less about them. I looked at them as my warrior marks from labor. And I can't wait to be sporting them on the beach this summer!! I used Burt's Bee Mama Bee Belly Rub. I really liked it. It went on smooth and didn't leave an oily residue behind, plus the smell was just fresh. Best Wishes!posted 04/07/2010 by MrsKimmy
It's genetics but also watch how much extra weight you're putting on and don't tan yourself--tan skin is less elastic. Don't put on 70 lbs for that 8 lb baby--that can help minimize those few you get and I'm really looking forward to trying out the new Mederma--it worked great on other scars I've had so I'm willing to see what it will do for the couple stretch marks I've got from baby #1. If it does nothing, it's just a battle scar. I gave birth w/out drugs and I have stretch marks--I tease a girlfriend b/c she's had 2 kids and doesn't even know what a contraction feels like--I told her she still has mom scars she needs to earn to call herself MOTHERposted 04/07/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Re: So close once again :( VA LOAN
What your accountant has been giving you is most likely compiled financial statements which offer no assurance to the bank as to their correctness or completeness. All that compiled statements require are that he take the numbers you give him and put them in financial statement format. No work other than that is required. Most likely your accountant does things like bank reconciliations to make sure bank balances agree to the numbers you gave him. An audit vouches for every significant number reporting on the financial statements which provides significantly more assurance to the bank and the CPA is taking responsibility for those numbers. Audits are very costly and take a long time due to the amount of work that is involved.
If the bank will not accept the financial statements that you have been given by your accountant, ask them if they would accept reviewed financial statements. A review offers less assurance and must be performed by an independent CPA but costs less and takes less time. The difference between a review and an audit is that the financial statements are subjected to less testing. The CPA uses analytical procedures and inquiries of the owners and management to vouch the numbers. Maybe the bank would accept that instead.
Hope it works out for you.

A*Star (Agency for Science, Technology and Research)
Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research wanted to improve the efficiency of reporting, management and utilization of its VMware infrastructure ahead of a likely move to cloud computing. By deploying VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite, the agency has achieved its objectives, including supporting a 30 percent increase in virtual machine numbers without adding to its datacenter hardware.
ABN AMRO N.V. Singapore
ABN AMRO's CTO, Dirk Sibiet, and the CCO of Private Banking, Hans-Peter Borgh, discuss how virtualising the end-user environment boosts security & compliance, significantly reduces costs, and opens up new opportunities for Relationship Managers to visit ABN AMRO Private Bank customers anywhere, anytime.
"Because at ABN AMRO Private Banking we have a lot of relationship managers who are private bankers and who meet their clients outside the offices. We will now be using virtual desktops to make our client conversations so much more relevant, by allowing our bankers, when they are on the road, to access the information they need and the tools they need to help our clients understand their [own] financial situation and financial opportunities better."
ABN AMRO N.V. Singapore
ABN AMRO business leaders talk about how they started their virtualisation journey with consolidation and DR, which led then to the current vCloud Suite implantation and the conclusion that any application can be virtualized. In partnership with Professional Services, provisioning time is reduced, DR recovery time slashed, and significant CAPEX savings have been made.
"We as a bank are now convinced that our strategy of moving to a virtual data centre is actually enabling our business to be more efficient and more profitable, and will enable our business to grow at a faster pace because we can [quickly] deliver solutions to market."
Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC)
Abu Dhabi Ports Company (ADPC) was one of the few companies in the region to deploy the comprehensive stack of Oracle E-business solutions with mission critical applications such as CRM, Business Intelligence and Oracle databases. This complex solution required stacks of hardware from several vendors, a lot of space, and expensive licenses. Today, with a custom designed VMware virtualization solution, ADPC has consolidated its IT infrastructure resulting in increased performance, savings on hardware maintenance and running costs, and enhanced scalability for further expansion.
"VMware's dedication, support and expertise enabled Abu Dhabi Ports Company to execute one of the biggest virtualization projects in the region, Oracle E-business suite. The project resulted in a savings of US $ 1.2 million on hardware, power and licensing. We are now 100 percent virtualized and are able to serve our customers in minutes rather than weeks."
ACI Specialty Benefits
Virtualization with Intelligent Operations Enables 55% Increase in Performance for ACI Specialty Benefits
Facing hyper-growth, ACI Specialty Benefits needed to ensure the company's infrastructure was poised to proactively support the business. ACI moved to a virtualized data center and deployed vSphere with Operations Management in order to effectively load test, ensure adequate resources to handle demand, and onboard new customers more quickly and effectively. The company can now run applications at high service levels and maximize hardware savings through 40% higher capacity utilization and 50% higher consolidation ratios.
With the added visibility throughout its IT infrastructure, ACI has seen a 25% decrease in time spent on diagnostics and problem resolution. As a result of the operational efficiencies, the IT team is freed up to take on additional strategic initiatives.
"The first time looking at that single pane of glass was very surprising for us to see all of our different VMware infrastructure – at the data center, at headquarters, everywhere. Being able to see where we stood was a game changer."
ADAC e.V.
ADAC e.V., Europe's Largest Automobile Insurance Association Completes Desktop Migration. With VMware Mirage it migrated 2,400 existing desktop PCs, including user installed applications, files, and profiles to new laptops in a time constrained, three week timeframe.
"With Mirage we had exactly the same IT environment on the PC, but were able to migrate over everything that made that desktop personal to our users... IT was able to separate the IT images on the desktop PCs from the user space — applications, files, and personalization. "
Adarsh Credit Co-Operative Society Ltd.
Tackling rural poverty by encouraging the habit of saving with VMware vSphere
Adarsh Credit Cooperative Society launched in 1999 and has 800 branches across India. The company holds deposits totaling 3,685.41 crore in Indian Rupees (INR) and has made loans to the value of 3,816.99 crore INR, as of March, 2014. Headquartered in Rajasthan – India's largest state, with its complete IT operations based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the majority of its customers live in rural areas. VMware vSphere Enterprise and VMware vSphere for Operations Management enables Adarsh Credit Cooperative Society to continue its mission of helping improve the social and financial status of members through savings.
"Before we moved to VMware, server utilization was typically 20 to 25 percent. Today we are maximizing our utilization rates, enabling us to scale our services without adding any more servers. Take away VMware, and we would have had to buy at least five physical boxes, therefore adding to our cost base."
Adira Finance
Driving Business Growth and Customer Service Delivery with Virtualized IT Infrastructure
Adira Finance, is one of Indonesia's largest automotive financing company. With the growth of its business, Adira Finance faced the challenges of having the need to provide faster and better service to its customers to stay competitive in the Indonesian market. To enhance agility and reduce costs with increased operational efficiency, it deployed a virtualized IT environment with VMware vSphere® Enterprise Plus and VMware vCenter Operations Suite 5.6.
"Our strategic approach to virtualizing all datacenters with VMware has brought about many benefits to the business. The IT department has transformed into one that is more cost efficient and productive. We have also achieved significant capital and operational cost savings. With only 24 machines running, Adira Finance has managed to cut investment on servers by 20% and power consumptions by 64%."
VMware Virtual SAN Helps Adobe Realize Vision of Software-Defined Data Center
As subscriptions to Adobe Marketing Cloud increased, the storage team had difficulties scaling the platform because of the legacy direct-attached storage (DAS) architecture. Since a traditional storage-area network (SAN) solution would be too expensive and complex and a physical overhaul of the storage infrastructure was out of the question, the team explored a virtual solution. After all, Adobe's computing resources were already virtualized using VMware vSphere—why not do the same for storage? Adobe explored VMware Virtual SAN and determined it was exactly the kind of solution they needed. The results? Virtual SAN not only delivered a cost-effective solution, it also outperformed traditional SAN and DAS solutions. And since system administrators can operate Virtual SAN with no additional training, Adobe can devote their highly skilled storage experts to strategic projects and increase overall operations efficiency.
"Virtual SAN is a highly efficient solution compared to a traditional SAN or DAS approach. By aggregating storage into a single resource pool, Virtual SAN enables us to be much more cost conscious."
"We can stand up a chassis with Virtual SAN in just hours," van Rooyen says. Plus,"Virtual SAN has automation capabilities that allow us to deploy compute resources and storage resources as a single operation—in minutes, not hours or days."
Adways Inc.
Adways Inc. runs a diverse and fast-growing portfolio of Internet businesses. To ensure its IT architecture is flexible and responsive enough to support the company's further expansion, Adways recently implemented a VMware-designed software-defined data centre (SDDC) architecture.
"Our software-defined data centre based on VMware vCloud Suite is indispensable to the global growth of our business. We now have a proactive IT infrastructure that is extremely flexible and responsive."
Agropur Ingredients
Agropur Ingredients Improves Performance and Reduces Downtime by Deploying VMware Virtual SAN Solution
Agropur Ingredients operates a network of plants to make cheese and other ingredients for food-industry customers. Each plant operates its own data center to ensure that cheese and ingredient making continue around the clock. When an aging and out-of-capacity physical storage solution began to slow operations and hinder system maintenance, the company turned to the VMware Virtual SAN™ solution. The result: more capacity for less cost and improved system and application performance.
"In the past, we had no ability to add storage or scale to meet our growing needs. Today with Virtual SAN, I can add more disk on the fly without even thinking about it, and memory upgrades have become a breeze."
AIA New Zealand
AIA New Zealand replaced its physical firewalls with VMware vCNS with immediate results; significant CAPEX savings, reduced downtime and an agile disaster recovery solution
"VMware has enabled us to undertake a fundamental transformation in how we operate. At this stage we have really only started the journey and there is a lot more to come. It's very exciting."
Airbus France
Airbus gives contractors increased access to Aircraft development applications through VMware Horizon with View
Airbus, a world's leading commercial aircraft manufacturer, has deployed VMware Horizon with View to give its staff and contractors secure remote access to develop, test and support business applications.
"Airbus is leveraging its current virtual desktop solution enabling IT talent to develop, test and support business applications, paving the way to access a team of engineering talent using VMware Horizon with View."
Aledo Independent School District (ISD)
For years, the IT team at Aledo Independent School District (ISD) managed thousands of standalone desktops across multiple campuses, laboriously updating software on a machine-by-machine basis. By virtualizing approximately 75 percent of its machines on the VMware Horizon View virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), the district has vastly simplified IT management and streamlined online test administration while enhancing the end user's experience.
"I would go into a computer lab, install software on 30 machines, connect to the server 30 times, and so on," she says. "Then every summer, we'd send out a whole crew of IT folks to go computer by computer, cleaning up machines and doing general maintenance. It was incredibly time-consuming."
Allianz Global Assistance
Allianz Global Assistance
"We did a proof-of-concept on VMware View and it was very well received. Our users said VMware was much more user friendly than other desktop virtualization technologies, and their positive feedback was a key reason for choosing VMware." - Luc Derix Chief Information Officer Allianz Global Assistance
Amdocs, Inc.
Discover why Amdocs chose VMware's Horizon Mirage to manage images across their various offices quickly and efficiently, reducing the burden on their support staff and significantly increasing their compliance with security concerns.
"People were excited about it, being able to tell a customer hey, I got this new backup program and I need to restore something, what do I do, you simply go into Windows Explorer or go to your desktop, right-click on the file folders that you'd like to restore, select the Horizon Mirage client menu, the restore menu, and select the version you want to restore. Point and click and you're done, it's that easy."

Angel Broking needed to deploy an infrastructure that could cost-effectively support growth in demand for business-critical applications. By deploying VMware vSphere, vCenter Site Recovery Manager and VMware vCenter Operations Management Suite, the brokerage has met demanding application availability requirements while optimizing its infrastructure and gaining the ability to recover quickly from a disaster.
"We considered what the VMware solution offered against a range of criteria, including flexibility, business continuity, ease of deployment, manageability, and usability. VMware vSphere clearly met our expectations in each category."
AngloGold Ashanti
oneERP: Global fully-virtualized SAP
Virtualizing with VMware has given AngloGold Ashanti a unified platform that increases manageability, efficiency, and agility of IT systems around the globe. VMware's cloud solutions have delivered improved performance and disaster recovery capabilities for AngloGold's mission-critical, global applications.
"So we looked at best practices, and worked together with SAP, and Accenture, EMC, DELL and Fujitsu. With the collective input, we put together the design with AngloGold that became the roadmap for the execution of the project."
Ark Data Centres
Ark Data Centres wanted to update its data centre infrastructure with a solution that could improve its resilience levels and help lower operational costs. The business virtualized its data centre environment, running vSphere across its IT estate. Ark cuts costs and increases reliability with VMware vSphere and vCenter Site Recovery Manager.
"We had been looking for a flexible and scalable data centre infrastructure for some time. We wanted something which could offer improved resilience and flexibility but at a reduced cost. Expanding physically was simply not a realistic option and with a rapidly growing customer base, it was clear that VMware's vSphere was the best possible option for us. Since migrating to a virtualized platform, we've seen vast improvements to our uptime and functionality as well as a significant reduction in both operational and capital expenditure."
Armor Shields Its Customers from Cyber Threats with VMware NSX
VMware NSX enables Armor to scale and protect its customers, with the essential benefits of micro-segmentation and multi-tenancy.
"Because of the VMWare NSX relationship, we're able to better secure our customers and, defend them against cyber threats."
"NSX and VMWare give us that ability to orchestrate our customers in a Cloud-like environment, but give them the security wrapper that allows them from day one to be born secure."

I apologize for clogging the blog. As a rookie I am a novice when it comes to posting questions for the forum. I want to troubleshoot my problem noted in my initial post tonight. Bottom line: the issue is that I can access the ITunes Store but when I search for music, movies, or apps the screen goes all white. I am working in WindowsXP and I downloaded the latest version of ITunes on Sunday. Not sure if this gives the forum enough info to go on, but I would appreciate the forum's thoughts. Apple tech support has been worthless. Tks for the assistance.

When you removed iTunes and reinstalled it, was it in accordance with this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. The removal and installation of iTunes in Windows can be difficult at times and the sequence must be followed.

in response to ChrisJ4203
Did everything according to the support document. Also updated Java and even turned off my firewall to ensure that wasn't creating some sort of block. Reinstalled ITunes and I still have the same problem - white screen whenever I search for something in the ITunes Store. Message to Apple: this is making me miss my Walkman (for you kids, ask your parents what that is). Does anyone have any other ideas how I may resolve this problem?
ChrisJ4203 Dec 13, 2012 1:00 PM
in response to Tolbert1958
Well, Apple does not view these posts, nor do they respond here. You might try and look in the right side of the thread where it says, More Like This and see if you find anything similar there. I'm not aware of a problem like this, so I couldn't recommend any other option. And, I know what a Walkman is, from the first ones with FM radio, to the cassette to the CD. How about a transistor radio??

Custom Patient Education Videos
Animation in patient education videos creates the flexibility your organization needs to respond to changing guidelines and diverse patient populations. Unlike live-action videos, small changes can be made easily and affordably and translations into any language are simple. Animation allows for complex anatomical and procedural information to be presented in a way that is easy to understand and less alarming to already-stressed patients. Customized animation means your organization has the ability to always have the information your patients need, in a format they can understand, using plain language when they need it. With animation we have the freedom to create the perfect approach to engage your unique patient population and foster a better patient experience.
Smarter Medical Care animated patient education videos are customized to reflect your organization's brand and to meet your patient population's unique needs. Our videos engage patients on an auditory and visual level using custom animation to explain complex medical concepts in plain language, and most importantly in their preferred language. Patient experience improves with better health literacy, which improves with patient education that is culturally and linguistically appropriate. Smarter Medical Care's flexible, animated format makes it affordable and easy to provide every patient with the information they need to understand their illness and actively participate in their treatment. Translations outside of English and Spanish are not only easy to produce, the cost to your organization is at minimum 1/3 of the cost associated with live action videos.
The inherent challenge in patient education is literacy, when 30% of Americans have Level 1 reading skills or are illiterate, making written information ineffective for them – video based patient education can solve the health disparities caused by this unfortunate reality. Beyond the issue of literacy is the ability of the average person to retain any new information, much less complex medical concepts having just received very stressful news – even patients with high literacy levels only retain about 10% of what they read, compared to 65% of what they see and hear. Video learning conventions can increase information retention by up to 16 times over that of text alone and patients who received the video content report less anxiety, less physical pain, and higher rates of overall satisfaction with their patient experience. Smarter Medical Care makes it possible to provide your patients with the best possible health education tools easily and affordably.

This is a large mobile home/rv park. Mobile homes are separate from the rv's. There are a lot of permanent rv's which are kept up nicely. The small area for those staying less than 14 days was very level, gravel and grass spots, no picnic tables or fire rings. The laundry area was clean and machines were in good running order. This is bare bones with no amenities or trees. We would stay again when passing through. - esta34950

We stayed here as a home base while visiting downtown Atlanta, about a 20 minute drive away. This isn't as much an RV park as it is a long gravel parking lot with hookups, adjacent to a mobile home community. It's in a heavily developed suburb, so there are many stores and restaurants in the immediate area, though the park is tucked away a bit and feels private. The sites are very long but close together, most with no shade and very little grass. There's a grassy area along one side which is good for walking dogs, but there's no good places to walk outside the park since it connects to a busy main road. We had no problems with traffic noise even though it's close to the interstate. We have no complaints about the park - it was reasonably clean, utilities worked, staff was friendly, and the price was great. As a place to park while visiting the city, it was exactly what we needed - just don't expect anything fancy or pretty! We would stay here again if we needed to visit downtown, but if we planned to spend much time at our coach, we'd probably look for someplace a little more attractive. - LifeRebooted

Talk Box: Glenn Beck Warns GOP 'Boys Club' of Whig-Like Extinction
Plus, Chris Matthews tries to get Alabama governor Haley Barbour to let him know when the next boys' club meeting starts.
Politico's article about anonymous GOP bigwigs freaking out over the prospect of Sarah Palin snagging the party's nomination for president in 2012 was too much fun for the cable-news talkers to resist. Last night, Hardball's Chris Matthews tried to get possible
unnamed source presidential contender Haley Barbour to let him know what time the next "boys' club" meeting starts, and Morning Joe's Joe Scarborough wanted everyone to know that he has an unnamed conservative source, too, and his guy thinks Palin will destroy the party's chances with educated voters in the future. Over at Fox News, Glenn Beck threatened Scarborough's elitist Republican friends with Whig-like extinction if they don't toe the tea-party line, and Sarah Palin told Bill O'Reilly that America needs far-right candidates to balance out "far-left liberal policies that have been adopted," although she almost draws the line at Carl Paladino.

In this research we propose a new routing protocol for Mobile Ad hoc Networks: Dynamically Switched Protocol (DSP). The protocol (i) behaves similar to the existing Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) for small number of active nodes with low mobility in the network; if on the other hand a large number of nodes with high mobility are present, the routing algorithm switches its behavior to resemble Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector Protocol (AODV). Thus, we avoid the surfeit of AODV's control overhead in the cases where DSR performs equally well (or better), and we enjoy the benefits of AODV when the productivity of DSR is reduced. Further, we note that currently both AODV and DSR do not posses network load balancing; thus (ii) via DSP we propose a network load balancing policy based on dynamically and purposefully changing node's mobility and position, when possible. In that manner, the overuse and power depletion of a node is reduced.

Lobby areas are nice
Decor was quite dated and the beds were very uncomfortable for the price.
How close yet quiet it was to the Shannon airport. And the front desk staff was extrememly helpful in getting info to us, and even helped me make a resevation for when I'd be back in the area; but at another motel as Oakwood arms was completely booked. The girls that were the most help were May nad Lisa.
Some of the mattresses and pillows were very hard!!!
It was so great to be able to walk directly from airport arrivals to my hotel after a long stressful day. Vice Versa in the morning - I checked my bag in for departure and then went back to the hotel to grab breakfast. The hotel was very clean, with updated bathrooms, the staff were responsive and pleasant. Would highly recommend for airport users.
Fine location, very convenient to the airport, relatively comfortable bed, nice shower
No breakfast included for the price
It was convenient to airport and the guy that checked us in at 11 o'clock at night was very helpful and polite
This country hotel is a hidden gem...we chose it for its proximity to Shannon Airport but in fact it was a delight and we'd have happily have stayed longer. The sumptuous decor and tasty home cooked breakfasts were really special
Nothing negative
The staff were so attentive, friendly and helpful that they enhanced a perfect country setting that was a few minutes from Bunratty castle and the airport. Food was excellent and they truly catered to the international traveler. The early breakfast on a Sunday morning for those needing to get to the airport was so helpful and then a map to the gas station and then the rental car lots at the airport were detailed and perfect. They also provided us with excellent directions to the hotel.The sunset over the Shannon estuary as we ate an excellent meal was the icing on the cake. Very pleased indeed.
The quirky lighting system----the overhead light had to be on for the bathroom light to work. But the hotel is delightfully old, so what can one expect!!
we arrived late off of a flight and we were made feel so welcome by the owner, nothing was too much trouble,we had to leave early in the morning but before we left we had the most wonderfull freshly cooked breakfast followed by fresh out of the oven scones butter and jam,while we got ourselves ready the owner was outside defrosting our car, the most wonderfull service we have ever had and if we are back that way again thats where we will be staying.
nothing i didnt like about this hotel
The guest house was great. I was immediately greeted by name upon arrival and given a spacious room with a fantastic bathroom. Additionally, as I had an early flight out of Shannon the owner offered to serve me breakfast an hour earlier than normal. The guest house is in immaculate condition and I would highly recommend it to any type of traveler. Its location - less than 5 minutes from Bunratty castle is an added bonus!
lovely horse property.
Not really.
Super friendly proprietors. Excellent location. Beautiful grounds. Very nice breakfast and comfortable beds.
Liked everything.
It was a wonderful place. The location was right by Bunratty Castle,the breakfast was wonderful, and the hosts were lovely and helpful.
Everything was nice.
The people where great. Very accomadating and friendly.
Clean and safe. Felt welcomed when we walked in. Excellent location. We chose to stay in Bunratty because of the proximity to Shannon airport (15 mins drive) and because it gave us one last experience of Ireland's rich history.
Only downside was that we didn't have more time to explore or experience breakfast there.

The demise of Gourmet, announced Monday, continues to rock the food world. There are elegies everywhere you click and thousands of writers, as we always do, trying to make sense of the loss. One of the longtime writers for the LA Times adds some context, describing the evolution of the magazine over its 70 years. The Boston Globe offers a piquant (and, at least online, curiously byline-free) F-U to Gourmet, which it calls obsolete. And Ruth Reichl tells the New York Times about her future plans -- not surprisingly, they include a memoir about the mag. My heart goes out to the dozens of writers and editors who don't have such a thick cushion of celebrity to land on.
Seattle's own Langdon Cook, whose beautifully written book Fat of the Land is out right now, talks to Salon about how foraging is the logical extension of the local-foods movement and, speaking of logical extensions, how he's got to buy a gun and learn to hunt.
Jane Black at the Washington Post recounts the history of Old Bay Seasoning, invented 70 years ago by a spice merchant fired from McCormick and popularized 50 years later by the same company, which had acquired the brand. She also talks to addicts who won't leave Maryland without their fix.
Dan Mitchell over at Slate's Big Money blog is a real find -- his Daily Bread column covering the business of food has become a daily pleasure. Today, he reports on a study suggesting that Los Angeles's 2008 ban on new fast-food restaurants in low-income neighborhoods isn't going to affect residents' high obesity rates -- partially because these neighborhoods started out with fewer fast-food restaurants than richer, slimmer quarters of the city.
On a very different note, Nigel Slater, one of Britain's best food writers, comes up with a couple of recipes for all those green tomatoes in your garden that will never, never ripen. Really . . . it's time to give up on them.

I've heard the Brewer's diet is highly recommended for moms not only attempting VBAC but NCB in general. My doc's okay with me giving it a shot as long as I don't gain an extreme amount of weight.
My only problem is I can't seem to eat everything every day. I'm especially having difficulty eating all the whole grains just because all the veggies and protein (75-100g/day) fill me up so much.
Anyone else try this program before? Any suggestions for getting everything in every day?

Brooks Brothers is known for classic clothing and apparel for men, women & kids including non-iron dress shirts, dress pants, suits, ties, jackets, blazers, and more.
There is nothing I love more than a well dressed man! Store offers a wide variety of elegant as well as fashionable outfits & caters to men of all ages! The store is fabulous with a pleasant staff.
Restrooms are on multiple floors. They're aren't many stalls in each, but the decor is impressive and includes an all-marble design and orchid blossoms on the counter. [Best In-Store Bathrooms in NYC]
Second Bill's recommendation on avoiding the flagship store - the customer service leaves much to be desired. I do however highly recommend the Boston Newbury Street and the NYC FiDi locations.
Side Note:Their restrooms are impeccable! Sparkling clean and decadently furnished! One of the best I've seen in any clothing store!
For all your kilting needs, be sure to stop by the Scottish section at the far back corner of the 3rd floor.
I would avoid this store - it's too busy an the customer service is lacking. For a better experience go to the one in the Financial District - it's worth the trip.
This is HQ. Best selection of all the stores if a bit overwhelming. Staff is super helpful so go ahead and ask.
I love its men's pajamas, as well as shopping the boys department. The blazers and button-up shirts have that perfect shrunken fit. —Jane Keltner de Valle, fashion news director
Authentic American style, great quality and thoughtfully crafted product. The Supima non-iron dress shirts are incredible.
Why has no one mentioned there's a free golf simulator for public use on the third floor??!? It's awesome.
Good service in the shirt and ties department on ground floor. Friendly staff
The original location for a timeless American brand that will never go out of style.
Visit Sandra in the digital tailoring department if you want to look your absolute best and get expert guidance.
If you need a sports coat see Stuart on the fourth floor.
their extra slim dress shirts are like a regular fitted style in Europe
If your feeling generous, I wear size 40S Fitzgerald Blazers ...
If I were a millionaire I only shop here! Wow!!!!!!
To my slim fit brothers: check out the Red Fleece line.

Sorry about the terrible pictures! My camera is out of batteries, so I used my webcam.
The spread sheet is here. Please send all payments to email@example.com. All payments include paypal fees, and $1 or $1.30 extra for envelopes. People with larger plush, or more plush, I have to get larger envelopes for, so thats the reason for the extra 30 cents.
If you can't send payment right now, or would like to wait a bit, thats okay! Just tell me first! I know its the holidays and its been a while for this GA to come in, so if you can't pay right now I don't mind holding the plush for a bit at all. Just let me know whats up, and I'll be more than happy to work with you :D
Most plush are fine, but there is a bit of a stain on Staraptor and I have some pictures of the Pokedex case showing just how bad the damamage is.
( Damage assessments!Collapse )
I'm sorry rhys107 for putting this up instead of you, but I just wanted to get this up asap.

text: Alaska Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Data, 1996-2006 Rosay, Andre Henry, Tara alcohol consumption convictions (law) drug use homelessness injuries medical evaluation medical records prosecution rape rape statistics sexual assault sexual behavior victimization victims This project examined the characteristics of sexual assault victimizations in Alaska, as observed and recorded by sexual assault nurse examiners in Anchorage, Kodiak, Bethel, Soldotna, Nome, Fairbanks, Homer, and Kotzebue. The sample utilized for this study included all sexual assault nurse examinations conducted in Anchorage from 1996 to 2004, in Bethel and Fairbanks in 2005 and 2006, and in Homer, Kodiak, Kotzebue, Nome, and Soldotna in 2005. A total of 1,699 examinations were collected. More specifically, the information contains demographic characteristics of patients, pre-assault patient characteristics, assault characteristics, post assault characteristics, exam characteristics and findings, and suspect characteristics. Demographic characteristics of patients include gender, race / ethnicity, and age, whether the patient was disabled, and whether the patient reported being homeless. Pre-assault characteristics included whether the patient reported engaging in consensual sexual activity within three days prior to the assault and information on the location of the initial contact with the suspect. Assault characteristics included information on the location of the assault, methods employed by the suspect, the patients' condition at the time of the assault, the patients' use of drugs and alcohol, and a detailed description of the assault itself. This detailed description included the patient's position during the assault, whether condoms and lubricants had been used, whether ejaculation had occurred, and an inventory of 17 different sexual acts. Post-assault characteristics included information on post-assault actions taken by the patient, whether the patient engaged in consensual sexual activity between the time of the assault to the examination, and the time elapsed from the assault to the examination. Exam characteristics and findings included information on whether the exam was completed, the type of exam that was conducted, the patients' behavioral and emotional state during the exam, whether the patient required emergency medical care, whether the presence of sperm was documented, whether patients tested positive for sexually transmitted infections or other genital infections, whether the patient was pregnant, and whether injuries were documented. Injury characteristics included descriptions of both non-genital and genital injury. A total of 108 indicators of non-genital injury were captured. These included nine possible injuries (i.e., bruising, redness, abrasions, lacerations, swelling, fractures, bite marks, pain, and other) to 12 possible sites (i.e., head/face, mouth, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest, abdomen, back, buttocks/hips, legs, and feet). A total of 60 indicators of genital injury were also captured. These included four possible injuries (i.e., bruising, abrasions, lacerations, and tenderness) to 15 possible sites (i.e., mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, labia majora / minora junction, clitoral hood, clitoris, periurethra, hymen, fossa navicularis, posterior fourchette, perineum, vaginal walls, cervix, anus, and rectum). Suspect characteristics included the number of suspects, whether the identity of the suspect was known, demographic characteristics (gender, race/ethnicity, and age), whether the suspect had used alcohol or drugs, and the relationship between the patient and the suspect. In addition to providing detailed information from sexual assault nurse examinations, the data also include three indicators of legal resolutions - whether cases were referred for prosecution, whether cases were accepted for prosecution, and whether cases resulted in a conviction. Data on legal resolutions are only available for 1,229 cases examined from 1999 to 2005. 28367 http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR28367.v1 10-05-2012 administrative records data clinical data medical records Archived sexual assault nurse examination records for examinations conducted in Anchorage from 1996 to 2004, in Bethel and Fairbanks in 2005 and 2006, and in Homer, Kodiak, Kotzebue, Nome, and Soldotna in 2005.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Almost immediately after car2go arrived in Denver last June, Doug Wells and other members of Belmar Sustainable Neighbors began a grassroots campaign to bring the car-sharing service to Lakewood.
They contacted Belmar management about securing parking spots, permits and to hash out logistical details in bringing the funky little cars into the bustling residential and retail center.
City staff members worked with the group and reached out to car2go Denver manager Mike Pletsch on expanding into Lakewood.
"The car2go business was taking off in Denver, and car-sharing in general has been successful around the country, so we thought it'd be a great fit for Lakewood," said Neil Marciniak, the city's economic development specialist. "It's a step in the right direction in providing more transportation options in the city."
During that same time frame, Edgewater officials were on a similar path in working to have the car2go Denver home area jump Sheridan Boulevard to include all of Edgewater.
Edgewater Mayor Bonnie McNulty said City Council passed ordinances so the vehicles could park anywhere with no problems.
Pletsch said his company scours social media and member feedback in determining where to expand, and Belmar is a great example of a community coming together to secure the service.
"To be honest, every single one of our expansions is different," Pletsch said. "A lot of it just takes conversations with different groups and very heavy requests from our customer base."
The hard work paid off and, at the end of May, car2go expanded into Jefferson County by opening four dedicated spots along with three open parking lots in Belmar Shopping Center. Edgewater was also folded into the Denver home area.
A few weeks later, Red Rocks got five dedicated spots.
So far, the service has seen steady use, particularly around Belmar.
"We were really happy to see them come in," McNulty said. "I've seen the cars all over, especially along Sheridan."
The rules of car2go are simple. Members pay a $35 lifetime fee and can rent the cars by the minute, hour or day and run from 38 cents per minute to around $73 for a daily rental.
Most of the rentals are short, point-to-point trips that don't require the user to return the car to the same place. The Denver fleet has 320 vehicles and more than 20,000 members; users can track vehicle locations and make reservations through a smartphone app.
Proponents of car-sharing services say they're not only a sustainable alternative to traditional car ownership, but they also provide key links to other modes of transportation, like the final mile to light-rail stations or shared-bike services.
So far, Wells has used the service about 10 times. His group started a social media campaign that saw 200 Belmar residents sign up for car2go.
He hopes the service will draw people from Denver into Belmar to shop. He believes car-sharing is on the forefront of a shift in how people move around.
Eventually, he and his wife may give up one of their two cars.
"The reality is, we don't drive them as much, and one of them just sits there all the time like most cars do," Wells said. "I think the jury's still out whether we go from one to two, but having these other alternatives makes a difference."

Playwriting & Screenwriting | Academic Requirements | Minor in Playwriting | Minor in Screenwriting | Courses | Faculty
The Playwriting and Screenwriting BA Program
Professional writers increasingly work in multiple modes of expression. In the BA program in playwriting and screenwriting at Purchase College, students learn to write for both the stage and the screen through studies that engage with these disciplines at the introductory through advanced level. The curriculum also helps students to develop a sophisticated eye and gain a deeper understanding of the art and craft involved in making theatre and film. The college's proximity to New York City provides a distinct advantage: students are taught by industry professionals and have access to theatre, film, and television production facilities for their studies and internships.
The program includes required and elective courses in playwriting and screenwriting; theatre and film history; writing for television, new media, and documentaries; and directing for both stage and screen. Because playwriting and screenwriting are performance arts, students are encouraged to perform their work in front of an audience as much possible. In their final year, students work with a faculty mentor to develop a substantial senior project: a full-length play, feature-length screenplay, teleplay, or documentary script.
This BA program also provides a solid foundation in the liberal arts, with plenty of room for students to explore other interests, including study abroad programs—all of which enriches their abilities as dramatic writers. The program also offers a minor in playwriting and a minor in screenwriting for students in all disciplines.
Note for Transfer Students
Students interested in transferring from another school into this BA program and earning the degree in four semesters (entering as a junior) should be aware that they must have already taken:
– introductory screenwriting
– introductory playwriting
– at least one semester of either theatre or cinema history (recommended)
Junior transfers must register for PSW 2000 and 2010 in their first semester.
