Landowner Chuck Long explains to crop tour participants how 10,000 trees were planted on his property for wind protection. The Union Soil and Conservation District helped Chuck and Nancy Long plant a variety of trees in four windbreaks. (CHRIS BAXTER/The Observer)
Water, rain was highlight of 37th annual crop tour
Four busloads of people spent Wednesday in the valley, braving the elements for the 37th Annual Union County Crops and Conservation Tour.
This year's tour took participants to three local farms with much discussion focusing on water and irrigation.
The first stop was at the deepest well in Oregon where workers were setting the pump for Brett Rudd.
Rudd said he had put in a linear irrigation system to more efficiently irrigate. The linear operation is "much like a center pivot" but drags a 655-foot hose, he said.
The mainline from the well should be in place with pivots by mid-July.
"So, I don't know how it turned out yet," Rudd said.
Regional Geologist Jason McClaughry said wells like Rudd's provide valuable information about the valley's subsurface if owners are willing to share samples.
"This adds to the subsurface geological model of the area," McClaughry said.
Faults in the valley can make it difficult to pinpoint where landowners can find water, so the more information gathered the easier it will be to help citizens looking to put in wells.
The second stop on the tour focused on the Misty Mountain Windbreak Project, where the Union Soil and Water Conservation project helped landowners Chuck and Nancy Long plant 10,000 trees.
"We really tried to do what's right for the land," Chuck Long said. The district planted a variety of trees on the property in four windbreaks.
"We get a lot of wind here. It dries out hard and fast," Long said.
The third stop featured the 2012 Union County Conservation Farm of the Year. Matt Insko of M&M Farms has incorporated companion farming with grass seed and wheat.
"It worked almost better than I thought it would," said Insko, who harvested more than 100 bushels in spring grows but did not expect any crop during the first year of planting.
He also reiterated the value of using a linear irrigation system.
"Water management is a big deal on our farm as it is for anyone," he said.
Union County Extension Service Agronomist Darrin Walenta said linear irrigation isn't new.
"In the last 10 years, it's increased quite a bit. No one's inventing more land, so you have to be more efficient with what you have," he said.
Walenta, who helped organize the tour, said water is often a highlight of discussions.
This year, water ended up affecting tour participation in the form of rain. Walenta estimated that 120 people participated in Wednesday's ag tour, down from an average of 130.
"It's always an adventure," he said.

Viibryd - anyone experincing a feeling like lil electric shocks in your head?

I'm currently on 20mg of Viibryd and this is the dose I plan on staying at. 20 works well enough for me. But I can relate to your experience. This is the first antidepressant that I've taken that I continually experience these brain shocks throughout treatment. I experience these shocks for 2-5 hours after taking it. Then they cease. According to the full prescribing information, I found that Viibryd on average reaches full blood plasma levels in 4 hours. I assume I experience these brain shocks in response to Viibryd's entrance into the bloodstream. So far, I have also determined that they are intensified by stimulants such as nicotine and caffeine. Whenever I smoke or drink coffee shortly after taking Viibryd these brain shocks are worse. It's fortunate because it makes smoking less pleasant as the brain shocks are so intense they are almost uncomfortable or painful.
It is however unfortunate as I enjoy the flavor of coffee and I can't drink regular coffee without feeling uncomfortable. On the other hand, for me Viibryd is relatively stimulating and I no longer need the caffeine ever since switching from Celexa.

Hello juniebug. What you are feeling are brain zaps. Brain zaps are usually felt when you are stopping a particular drug, like celexa, zoloft, lexapro. Most often, they diminsh, lessen when a good taper plan is in place. I read up on user reviews, from our site, and thier was mention of shocks, the feeling of, going throught out the body. Not knowing your dose, how long you've been taking viibryd, in this caseyour body might be adjusting to the drug. Viibryd is a very new drug, just on the market, so theres no lengthy case history file, that we can go back on. I'd wait a bit, if it really becomes a problem, tell your doctor. best wishes to you.

Hamas: Palestinians will not Hand Militant to Israel
The Palestinian Authority will not hand over to Israel one of the Jewish state's most wanted activist, who was wounded in a gunfight with Israeli soldiers, a senior member of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas said Monday.
"The latest conversations with our brothers in the Palestinian Authority resulted in a confirmation that (Mahmud) Abu Hannud will not be handed over to Israel," Hamas leader Ismail Abu Shanab told AFP.
Three Israeli soldiers -- believed to have been shot by friendly fire -- died overnight Saturday while trying to arrest Abu Hannud, a Hamas militant wanted for a string of terror attacks that have killed dozens of Israelis.
Israeli officials have called for Abu Hannud to be handed over.
"We must formally ask the Palestinian Authority to hand Abu Hannud over to us, even if we know he will not be extradited," said former chief of staff Amnon Lipkin Shahak.
"But if he is kept in prison that will conform to our agreements with the Palestinians," Lipkin Shahak, also transport and tourism minister, told Israeli radio.
Palestinians intend to try Abu Hannud after their police finish investigating him and once he recovers from injuries suffered during the raid in the northern West Bank town of Assira Shamaliya, north of Nablus.
Hamas claimed victory on Sunday after the raid, which has been severely criticized by the Israeli media.
"What happened was a victory for Hamas and for the Palestinian people. No doubt it was a painful blow to the Israeli army," said Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip -- GAZA CITY (AFP)

Liberal Democrat John Pugh has said that fellow MPs are too "childish" and rude to deserve a pay rise.
The backbencher also wants to see "yob" colleagues who cannot behave themselves in the Commons fined.
Watchdogs want to hike Commons wages by £8,000 to £74,000 in a move they say is needed to bring MPs in to line with other "modern professionals".
Minister Simon Hughes argued it should rise even further to £75,000 in a submission to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).
Mr Hughes said: "There seems to be merit in starting the 'new regime' within a round figure, easily understood by the public, and £75,000 would seem to fit that bill."
But fellow Lib Dem Mr Pugh told IPSA that rowdy behaviour in Parliament showed being an MP was not like other top jobs.
"The sad fact is that the 'modern professionals' who Mps are compared with act and behave differently from MPs.
"The senior teacher, doctor, police inspector, council director does not scream, rant and engage in childish abuse as MPs do in the full view of the nation."
IPSA's plans for a 11% pay rise were "ironically … published the day after Prime Minister's Questions reach a new nadir" last summer, Mr Pugh said.
"Every profession has its rogue members but this dismal spectacle is endorsed and often led from the top," he said.
"It is like being in a school where prefects (whips) are behind the mayhem. It is often institutionalised yobbery.
"However amusing this may seem to elements of the media and the public, the description of the participants as 'modern professionals at work' does not quite fit and crucially tarnishes the image in the eyes of the public of what an MP does and is."
Speaker John Bercow has made repeated efforts to improve behaviour, the MP pointed out.
But he lacks a referee's yellow or red cards and "has little obvious means of restraining the throng of 'modern professionals' – other than in extremis", Mr Pugh said.
"For that reason I would like to suggest that whatever the future payment arrangements for MPs, the Speaker should be given the right to dock (effectively fine) MPs for 'unprofessional conduct' in the House applicable to every MP including ministers."

A few points:
1. You aren't addressing Apple here. This is a user to user technical help forum.
2. The number of views of a thread is meaningless.
3. There have been over 5 million new iPads sold so the 500 posts here (many of which are not even problem reports) doesn't mean much.
4. Apple certainly understands how Wifi works. A problem reported here could indicate either a network problem (possibly a router problem) or, perhaps, a hardware problem with a particular iPad. If so, the only fix is to get new firmware for the router or, if the problem is with the iPad, to get it replaced by calling Apple support.

I'm just reporting back in to the board with my update. I noticed the weak wifi within the first 10 minutes of using the device (32g wifi only black) 14 days ago. My device was crashing apps, dropping wifi signals without reconnecting and generally experiencing horrible wifi. Through this forum I also came to realize the exact same death grip issue with my wifi where I could essentially bring my iPad to a dead halt stop using the Speedtest.net app. I brought it back to Apple store and at their advice I restored the OS from iTunes and the crashing and wifi connectivity issues did become resolved. However, the weak wifi when compared to all other devices in my house was not resolved and neither was the death grip issue. So I elected to return the device today and will continue to use my iPad 1 until I hear these issues die down. My guess is that they ramped down the power to the wifi antenna to conserve battery and that they will fix this with a firmware. The death grip issue is one that I am surprised is not being more widely reported. I tested it on an in-store unit today and there was a clear drop in signal strength. This does seem like a major design flaw, IMO. The Apple reps were super helpful here so if anyone is experienceg issues I wouldn't hesitate to go to the store and explore you optoins.

I read in an article that the new battery that is bigger on the iPad3 is blocking the way of the wifi transmitter. A friend will bring me my new iPad3 already bought in Canada the 4th April, but I think that I will keep my iPad2 that I was about to sell. I have problems with the 3G on my ipad2, and now with the wifi issue on iPad3, if I keep both I should be OK. iPad2 for wifi and iPad3 for 3G (no 4G here), Conclusion, you need 2 iPads to get everything you need...Don't know what apple is doing?

It's pretty obvious that these are all defective units. The question is how many had fell through the crack and ended up in our hands. Not small. It's already 14 days, and still no SW fix, because there isn't one. A tablet computer without wifi is a royal piece of junk. Oh, you can still use it as a high definition digital photo frame if you were not lucky enough to get the HP touchpad.

I've read every single reply. My iPad shows up next week. What would be very helpful to me is if someone could outline a "test methodology" that I could use to see if mine is ok. As a first step, I'm going to mimic the video that uses speedtest and the "grip." I have nothing to compare speeds to, other than my PC, so I really can't make a maximum speed comparison, just a "grip" degradation during the speedtest. I regularly get 20mbps/4mbps on my ancient Core 2 Duo PC. Should I expect these numbers on the iPad? Anything else to test?
In the event that I have to head to an Apple store, I want to come with more than "it doesn't work" in my back pocket.

I'm faceing as well some problems but in slightly an other manner - wfii connection is ok but breaks unmotivated while I'm surfing through the net. So then I've to go into the "Flight mode" and back to norml after approx 15sec and it works again for..... 2min or 10min or sometimes as well for hours. In the end this is not stable and very boring. APPLE PLEAS TAKE CARE AND FIX IT ASAP! Thanks!
It_caveman Mar 31, 2012 7:42 AM
in response to Briese47
First check your router for firmware updates. Also make sure you have a routr that is at least fairly modern. If the firmware is good then check your connection on another wifi network ( coffee shop, friends house, etc.) if it still doesn't work call Apple or visit a store and exchange the device. Waiting on a fix isn't going to help you. Several have exchanged their devices that had this problem for new ones and the wifi issue was resolved. Good luck.
It_caveman Mar 31, 2012 7:44 AM
in response to cdbma
They should be fairly close if the device is working properly and your router is not to old and the firmware is up to date.
Usmaak Mar 31, 2012 2:35 PM
in response to FromThailand
If that article is correct, then the only way to resolve it would be to come up with a new hardware configuration for any units manufactured from here on out. The only thing that a software patch could do is mask the issue by making the strength fan less sensitive to showing fluctuations in wifi strength. But this doesn't explain all the people that got ones that don't show wifi issues. I would think that if they are all made the same, then they would all show the same problems.
And the number of posts to this forum is unimportant. I'd imagine that the vast number of iPad owners don't know that this forum is even here. It is not like everyone with issues is going to report in.

You are wrong. Did you upgrade tp 8GB of memory with the exact ram specification? If No, that should be corrected. If Yes, it is not the memory slowing you down.
Look into Activity Monitor <all processes> click on the %CPU column and make a screeen shot, then click on the Real Mem column and make a screen shot (when you click a coulmn once the highest are on top, when not click a second time).

Go to the App Store and download 'Free Memory.app'. It is free and it frees your memory!
Lexiepex Jan 5, 2012 1:46 AM
in response to softwater
I disagree, although there are a number of free "tools", like Coktail, Free Memory, etc, they serve at nothing:
What they do is make "free" the "inactive memory", nothing else, in fact that is counter-productive:
Inactive Memory is the memory that was used by a now closed app, and is still linked to that app, to make it start faster when started again, when memory is needed for a newly starting app, and there is not enough memory for it , this inactive memory is freed automatically. Thus for practical purposes you can add the amounts of "free" and "inactive" when you want to know the amount of memory that can be claimed by a new starting app.
Joa: please check also the Real Mem column!
softwater Jan 5, 2012 1:57 AM

That's the theory, but it doesn't always work like that. I've noticed similar problems to the OP, and here's a very detailed description of problems with free/inactive mem and swaps:

Mmmm, I think that when there is no glitch in the OS (or firmware), there is no problem with the memory. So we have to solve the glitch, not put a bandage on it.

Why would you do a NVRAM reset for RAM memory management issues? The two are entirely unconnected.

and a smc reset, so the firmware is covered. How do you know it is a Ram issue, just because Joa thinks so? The "beach ball is all over the place", so it may be totally different. Solve the problem, not bandage it.

Because the same symptoms are reported widely all over the blogosphere as well as here on ASC. Just a few examples, you can google to find plenty of others.

And please don't say "Don't worry about inactive memory" and "Free memory is wasted memory". If that were true I wouldn't be getting beach balls all over the place.
That is a serious logical fallacy. Did you ever pay attention to your memory use in Snow Leopard? Or Leopard? If you had, you would have noticed exactly the same behavior. So noticing it now and blaming that for your problems does not make sense. I have had exactly the same thing happen (ie, all inactive memory and very little free memory), without any performance issues.
As for your "proof" of clearing some memory to make the problem go away, I think that has more to do with whatever you're doing to free that RAM rather than with the fact that you freed some RAM.
If I had to guess what your problem is, I'd probably guess third-party software issues. But that's just a guess without more information.
Lexiepex Jan 5, 2012 4:53 AM

Softwater: you do not have to write that you are right, because you cannot know, knowing so little about Joa's situation. I specifically asked about a screen shot of the &CPU and the RealMem columns in Activity Monitor, so that I can see for myself what crapware is running. I explained how inactive memory works, in Apple's OS, and it does not harm anything.
Joa: give me the screenshots.
Thomas: Right On, same suspicions as I have. THX for your explanation.

Launch the Activity Monitor application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and select the "System Memory" tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for "Page outs" and "Swap used"?
softwater Jan 5, 2012 5:38 AM
in response to Lexiepex
You are, perhaps deliberately, ignoring the point that the same symptoms have been widely reported: page outs when there's plenty of inactive memory. I'm not saying I know the answer, I'm saying that flushing the memory is a solution.
You can stick to the apple 'story' about how memory management is supposed to work all you like, but clearly a lot of people experience page outs when the system should be freeing inactive memory. I'm not expert enough to know why that is, but I do know that user intervention by means of actively freeing that memory (either directly through terminal commands or via apps like Free Memory) can reclaim that memory and immediately speed up the system.

Friday, Nov. 8 7PM-10PM at The Brickyard in the Bywater
Saturday, Nov. 9 8PM-11PM at International House Hotel
Internationally recognized street artists, who are rarely together, are descending on New Orleans in collaboration of a unified mission to encourage the awareness of a revolutionary art-form from their day, graffiti, and its new found place in the 21st century. On November 8 & 9, 2013, Al Diaz and others will pay tribute to the late neo-expressionist and primitive painter, Jean-Michel Basquiat, on the 25th year anniversary of his only visit to New Orleans. Basquiat and Diaz together were known under the pseudonym SAMO for their expressive spray-painted graffiti. New Orleans real estate developer and hotelier Sean Cummings is spearheading the gathering of Basquiat's colleagues and collaborators from the 80's graffiti movement along with contemporaries who are carrying the torch for a new generation of this type of expressive art exploding in New Orleans.

Disaster declared in seven countiesAugust 05,2013Disaster declared in seven counties
WATERBURY President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in seven counties in Vermont including Rutland and Windsor stemming from severe storms earlier this summer.
The declaration makes the counties of Caledonia, Chittenden, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington and Windsor eligible for federal assistance for public infrastructure damage after heavy rain and flooding between June 25 and July 11.
The declaration allows communities in those counties to receive at least 75 percent federal reimbursement for repairs to public roads, bridges, and other infrastructure that was damaged during the storm. In addition, all counties are eligible to apply for assistance for work to prevent or reduce long-term risk from natural hazards.
I appreciate the help from President Obama, and the hard work of our federal congressional delegation, to ensure Vermont communities get the assistance they need to recover from these storms and flooding, said Gov. Peter Shumlin. Vermont has been pounded by storms, high winds and flooding this spring and summer. This federal aid is critical for town rebuilding and prevention work.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

It's been four years since elite Lakeside School invited--then disinvited--conservative author Dinesh D'Souza to speak on its leafy campus. Yet the intense racial rift that episode exposed continues to play out. The latest development is a trial, beginning this week in King County Superior Court, stemming from a suit brought by fired African-American teacher Regina Higgins. Without the jury even being picked yet, Lakeside has already won a partial victory.
"There's no evidence of a comparator except in Ms. Higgins' mind," Schapira said, explaining in the next breath what she meant by a "comparator." She continued: "I certainly did not see a white teacher who was treated more favorably."
What remains is Higgins' claim that she was illegally retaliated against for her testimony in support of two other African-American teachers, Chance Sims and Novella Coleman, who filed suit against the school in 2006, shortly after the D'Souza affair. (Sims eventually settled and Coleman had her claims dismissed.)
"If we fantasize for a moment that Ms. Higgins is your average white guy, 'he' could still be having a problem because he testified against Lakeside," Schapira said this morning.
Lakeside vehemently denies that it fired Higgins, initially hired in 1999 and earning $82,777 a year before she was let go in 2009, out of retaliation. In legal papers, it cites a litany of grievances against Higgins, dating back almost to when she was hired. The complaints include gossiping about students, showing favoritism, missing meetings, and failing to report one student's sexual harassment of another. If even some of that is true, then what seems oddest is that Lakeside kept Higgins on the payroll for 10 years.
Higgins, moreover, apparently liked the school well enough to send two daughters there, including one who is now a Lakeside sophomore.
At the same time, it's not hard to believe Higgins' claim that Head of School Bernie Noe and other administrators "shunned" her after her testimony. Lakeside has repeatedly shown that it has a limited tolerance for dissent and an inclination to purge the school of perceived undesirables (including pot-smoking students).
What seems most tragic, however, is yet more indication that Lakeside's unprecedented effort to increase diversity, launched with a new "mission focus" in 2003 and supported with a multimillion-dollar fund-raising campaign, has gone badly awry. Lakeside says in legal papers that its percentage of minority staff members and students has grown, but two parents who called SW (one with a child currently at the school, one with a child who recently graduated) say there are only one or two African-American teachers left.
Asked for confirmation, Lakeside spokesperson Daiga Galins says the school employs seven African-American "professionals in an instructional capacity," without saying specifically how many are teachers. She adds that the school continues to be "proactive" in its efforts to hire more staff of color.
UPDATE: Galins clarifies that Lakeside has three full-time African American teachers (as opposed to advisers and other staff who work with students). She also insists that the school's diversity efforts have not gone awry, noting that 47 percent of its student body and 17 percent of its faculty are now minority members.

Two men are drinking in the bar on top of the Empire State Building. The first man tells the second one that there's a draft created because the building is so high, and if you jump over the edge the draft will blow you right back to the top. The second guy naturally is skeptical. The first man is adamant, so the second guy asks him to demonstrate, and the first guy agrees. They go over to the side of the building, and the first guy jumps over, and starts falling, 10, 20, 30, 40 stories... then starts to slow down, then comes to a complete top, then starts slowly rising, and eventually is set right back down on the roof. The second guy says, "Wow! I've got to try that!" So he jumps over the edge and starts falling, 10, 20, 30, 40 stories... then 50, 60, 70, etc. and then SPLAT. Then the bartender says, "You know Superman, you're a real azzhole when you're drunk."
Holy crap, it's the 60's Batman for me
And of course both Batman and Superman advertisements appear on the right hand side of my screen... Pure coincidence.

Boston Huahua
Boston Terrier / Chihuahua Hybrid Dogs
Information and Pictures
Daemon the ChiBo at 2 years old—"I can't imagine a more perfect dog than our little hybrid Boston Terrier / Chihuahua mix (ChiBo). Daemon only wants to please us and obey. He is so smart and easily trained, although he did have a stubborn streak when it came to housetraining. He has never chewed up a single toy that wasn't his. He loves our 10-month-old baby and doesn't lick him or chew on the baby's toys; he knows the difference. He plays well with other dogs and cats and strangers. When strangers see him for the first time they think he is a puppy Boxer. He has more of the traits of a Boston Terrier than a Chihuahua. He very rarely barks; in fact he barks less than my Akita who doesn't bark by nature. When he does bark it is because a stranger is walking directly behind our fence or trying to hang a flyer on our door knob. He is energetic and loves to play and run but if I'm watching TV he only wants to be in my lap. If I'm on the computer he is at my feet. I wish I had another one just like him."
Other Names
Boston Chi Parti
The Boston Huahua is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Boston Terrier and the Chihuahua. The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50% purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed multi-generation crosses.

Borat the Bo-Chi (Boston Huahua)
"Borat is a Bo-Chi and was given to my fiancé and me by a friend who was going to give him up for adoption. He was 14 weeks old at the time. He is 10.6 lbs. now and is expected to be between 15-20 lbs. full grown. He is a very well-behaved puppy, very playful and is very intelligent. He has taken to housetraining rather quickly, with accidents few and far between. He is extremely affectionate and loves to be cuddled. He is great around small children, other dogs and strangers. He has not been introduced to cats so we don't know how that would go. He has already proved himself a good watchdog and is very alert to people outside our apartment door; he alerts us but does not bark excessively."

She-ra the Boston Huahua puppy at 7 weeks old (Boston Terrier / Chihuahua Hybrid dog)
"This is a picture of Leo. He is a three-month-old Boston Terrier Chihuahua mix. The father is the Boston. His temperament is very laid back, alert, loyal (he loves me to death). So far he seems to be exceptionally intelligent. He seems a little more Boston in temperament. He rarely barks. Maybe 1 bark to let me know someone's at the door. He loves other dogs and is fine around other animals. He doesn't like to be left alone but he's still learning. I have had him for two weeks and I'm finding it rather easy to train him. He is so sweet and loving. Many people have asked me where to get a dog like him. He weighs about 10 lbs. now and is about 14 inches long without his tail. To be honest I have been amazed how well he behaves and he's just a puppy. He's a fantastic companion. He'll go anywhere with you and loves the car. Even when other dogs bark at him he stays quiet."
Lucy Loo the Boston Huahua hybrid (Boston Terrier and Chihuahua mix) at 9 months old wearing a shirt—"Lucy Loo is a Bo Chi. I got Lucy through a friend of mine and I could not ask for a better dog. Well I say dog, Lucy is not a dog she is my friend my companion my baby. She is the funniest thing I have ever seen. She has more energy than 2 toddlers. When she's outside she runs circles around me just as fast as she can run and loves to play fetch. When she brings the toy back she teases me with it. If I act like I'm ignoring her she will either lay the toy in my lap or nudge me with her nose. Lucy is just so likeable. Everybody she comes in contact with falls in love with her. I'm lucky to have Lucy Loo in my life."

He is thoughtful; he will put a toy in the bed with the cat, and then get one for himself to play with. He is full of energy, but if you want to sit all day, he will stay by your side. Bo is a funny little guy who fits right into our lives. He is such a good dog. We love him very much."

She absolutely loves people, even strangers. She loves going on rides and playing with our small farm animals. Her favorite toy is her cow hoof and her ball. She could play catch for hours. Every night she cuddles up right beside me. My girlfriend can't stand it haha. She tells me all the time that the dog thinks she's my girlfriend."

Hi, from San Diego - "America's Finest City".
I'm currently riding an old Bianchi that a friend gave me a few years ago when she was moving, and couldn't fit it in her moving van. I fixed it up, gave it a tune-up (several) and have really enjoyed riding. When I'm on it, people are always coming up and telling me what a great bike it. Between this, and riding it with friends who love riding their bikes to fun places all over the county for beers, I've really grown attached to it.
In the couple of years I've been riding it though, I've realized it's slightly too big for me, and am thinking about selling it/swapping it, so I have a bike that is better for me. I realized it was too big after a few falls.
I joined bikeforums to get input from others on the network about the best solution for my riding which is for commuting in the summer, and sheer joy on weekends.

I purchased both front & back seat covers. I had no problem installing the front. They fit GREAT. The rear covers gave me a little trouble because I had to remove the back of the rear seat. I went to my dealership, and in seconds they had it loose. I completed the installation right there in their lot. They almost look factory installed. I would definitely recommend these to others.

I purchased these to cover up worn front leather seats in our '01 Suburban. For what we use the truck for it wasn't worth replacing them with genuine leather. The installation for these seat covers was very straight forward and they have a nice look and feel. One minor issue was that the pre-cut openings for the side airbags was too large and thus didn't fit as well as I had hoped, but overall they work well and were worth the cost!

Commentary: Nonprofit Sector Must Take New Approach to Public Relations
Troy, Carol Wilkinson, THE JOURNAL RECORD
Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits.
- Author Unknown
Let's start the new year with a solemn promise to break some of our old habits. In the case of the nonprofit sector, the way we thought about public relations for our organizations could certainly stand some new thinking.
It wasn't that long ago that public relations was something that most nonprofit organizations thought they couldn't afford. They tried to get by with PR volunteers instead of a paid professional public relations staff.
It wasn't that long ago that some nonprofits thought that public relations meant getting a mention about a fund-raising dinner in the society pages. Some nonprofits confused public relations with advertising and tried to get it pro bono from local ad agencies.
Some nonprofits confused public relations with fund raising - and had the same person handling both. Others confused it with publishing booklets or with glad-handing.
Tom Harrison, president of the Russ Reid Co., a marketing and communications agency that helps nonprofit organizations through direct response marketing, public relations and government funding, sees it very differently. He believes that there is beginning to be a remarkable and positive change in the way nonprofit organizations are using public relations.
Here's his theory:
Competition for donor dollars has heated up intensely, and fund- raising techniques themselves - in direct mail, TV, special events - have become far more sophisticated. Nonprofit organizations have borrowed proven marketing techniques from corporate America. Now the more sophisticated nonprofit management has begun using corporate- type public relations strategies. And it's working.
Today, just as no corporation would introduce a new product, make a management change, or corporate move, or support the day-to-day marketing of a product without public relations, many not-for- profits are turning to public relations as an integral part of the marketing mix.
But let's be clear. Today's management doesn't want yesterday's public relations by press release or answer the phone media relations. Today's nonprofit management sees public relations as an investment. And they demand a return on that investment in three areas.
Public relations must:
* Build awareness of your organization, and position it as a valuable contributor to society.
* Create an environment to enhance fund-raising opportunities among target audiences such as foundations, corporations, volunteers, and individual donors.
* Educate and persuade your target audiences about an issue or cause.
Public relations, then, plays an important role in both your fund- raising efforts and your organization's program itself. For example, if you're the March of Dimes, you use public relations both to build support for fund-raising campaigns and to educate teens about pregnancy, birth defects and prenatal care. Public relations supports both fund raising and your programs - or you're not getting your money's worth out of it. …

Creative and intellectual partnerships are motivated and sustained along a variety of dimensions. One of these is the need for affirmation. The hard effort involved in sustained, productive work requires a sense of trust in oneself. The ability to develop such a sense is nourished and sustained in certain effective collaborative partnerships.
Another important dimension of collaborative work is linked to developments in one's domain of endeavor. When scientists or artists are engaged in re-examining theories which are in conflict with new discoveries, insights, or perspectives, they find "thinking together" particularly productive. I have suggested that thinking collaboratively is particularly prevalent in the construction of a new framework. "In this way, researchers can overcome the grip of a dominant perspective" ( John-Steiner, 1992, p. 103). The new jointly constructed framework can become the foundation of each individual's own novel directions of thought. Such a process is effectively described by Vygotsky's frequently quoted notion of the shift from the interpersonal to the intrapersonal level of functioning. In developing Vygotsky's sociogenetic notions further, Van der Veer and Valsiner ( 1991) suggest:
If we were to try to understand the processes of scientific discovery from a purely sociogenetic perspective then we would have to accept that no innovative scientist can create any new ideas independently from the collective cultural processes that surround him, the cultural history in which his life-course is embedded, and the particular interpersonal relationships of his life course. Or in other terms, it is the intellectual interdependency of the scientist or artist that sets up conditions under which novel ideas or expressions can come into being [emphasis added]. (p. 393)
Jointly constructed thinking is particularly important when a governing perspective within a domain of thinking is changing. Conversations which provide thoughtful articulation of new insights become more intense and frequent. This process has been particularly interesting to writers documenting the changes in physics during the 1920s, (cf. Heisenberg, 1971). Less is known of the establishment of discourse communities during periods of paradigmatic changes in the social sciences and of the role of women in these communities.
In thinking about communities of thinkers, I have relied to a great extent on Ludwik Fleck's ( 1979) ideas. He wrote about thought collectives and collaboration as central

Engineers at the University of Utah have developed and built the very first fuel cell using jet fuel that operates at room-temperature without the need to ignite the fuel. Using enzymes to help produce electricity, these new fuel cells have the potential to power everything from portable electronic devices to cars and off-grid power systems.Read More
With the airline industry's commitment to halve 2005 CO2 emission levels by 2050 prompting Airbus and others to accelerate the development of alternative jet fuels, Airbus is now getting behind a project to examine the potential for using hydrogen fuel cells on commercial airliners – not to power the jet engines, but to replace the Auxiliary Power Units (APUs).Read More
A new emissions-free device created by scientists at Stanford University uses an ordinary 1.5-volt battery to split water into hydrogen and oxygen at room temperature, potentially providing a low-cost method to power fuel cells in zero-emissions vehicles and buildings.Read More
Once upon a time, energy systems for space missions were simple. You used batteries for very short missions, solar panels in the inner Solar System, nuclear power generators if you were beyond Mars or needed a lot of power, and fuel cells for manned spacecraft. However, as space exploration starts looking into lunar polar craters, comets, and the icy moons of Jupiter, new energy systems will be needed. To anticipate that need, NASA has made awards to four proposals to develop advanced energy storage technology for future manned and unmanned space missions..Read More
After introducing its PowerTrekk portable fuel cell charger several years ago, Swedish company myFC is readying the 2.0 version. The new model is close to three times more powerful than the original, offering enough juice to charge tablets, along with smaller devices like smartphones and GPS units. Read More
By-products are common to most industries. Some are harmless, some dangerous and others useless. Others are simply under-utilized. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is using hydrogen generated as a by-product of the sodium chlorate production process in its pilot-scale power plant to produce electricity. Read More
Hydrogen fueled vehicles, such as Toyota's FCV and Hyundai's Tuscon Fuel Cell, face a chicken or egg predicament: consumers are rightfully hesitant to invest in such vehicles if they don't have a convenient way to refuel them, and energy companies don't want to cough up dollars for costly infrastructure without significant numbers of such vehicles on the road. But a study by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories says that more existing gas stations in California could readily integrate hydrogen fuel than previously thought.Read More
Lithium-ion batteries have made portable, rechargeable electronics commonplace. Unfortunately, they do have some glaring drawbacks, including heat issues, being made with rare, toxic elements, and the fact the technology doesn't scale up very well, which limits applications. A team of scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) is working on an alternative in the form of a water-based organic battery that is not only cheaper and more environmentally friendly, but also holds the potential for scaling up for use in wind and solar power plants as a means to store large amounts of energy.

The hydrogen economy sounds great, and has ever since it was first proposed in the 1970s. The tricky bit is how to get there, because without the necessary infrastructure, a fuel cell car that runs on hydrogen is little more than a conversation piece. As Hyundai delivers its first Tucson Fuel Cell CUV to its new lessee, Timothy Bush, the South Korean carmaker unveiled its plan to jump-start the hydrogen car economy by giving the fuel away to its customers.Read More
As the world shifts to alternative forms of energy, ways to make homes less dependent on the grid continue to gather steam. Fuel cells, which are more efficient and have lower emissions than internal combustion engines seem like a logical candidate for taking up the slack, so the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) in Dresden is partnering with the heater manufacturer Vaillant to develop a domestic fuel cell system that uses natural gas to produce both heating and electricity.Read More

Liberty National updated, ready for another Barclays
JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Jordan Spieth used words like "incredible" and "amazing" to describe Liberty National Golf Club.
He can be forgiven. He's only 20.
Spieth wasn't a member of any tour at the start of the year, and now he's taking part in the financial windfall known as the FedEx Cup playoffs. He has only been a full PGA Tour member for 5 weeks, not nearly long enough to learn how to complain.
No one used words like that when The Barclays was held at Liberty National 4 years ago.

He usually sleeps 2-3 hours with no poop and wakes happy. If he poops though it's always around 1.5hrs and he's just in a foul mood the rest of the day. I've tried quiet time with books in his crib later in the day to help help him rest. Sometimes that helps.
Any ideas?

how does everyone handle their bank accounts after marriage? my dh and i have one bank account, under both our names, it has our checking account and two different savings account attached to it. we get paid it goes into that one checking account. i budget and pay bills ect and then put whatever into each savings account and what is left in our checking is what we live off of for the next two weeks. every day my dh brings home any reciepts for gas lunch or whatever and i balance the check book. he knows if it is something more expensive to ask first to make sure money is in the account ect. but besides gas, neither of us really spend money w.o the other knowing or right beside the other. for us this works. dh doesnt feel like I am in control of money and that he cant do anything or anything like that. im just wondering if anyone else has joint accounts still? seems like only our parents' decade did this lol
dh and i in the 50's?
Joint here as well. Its just easier to manage. DH and I have never fought about money. We talk about major purchases and consult each other on the budget. We have a set of goals that we're working towards as a family and joint accounts are really the easiest way for us to manage.
Regardless of whether you choose seperate or joint communication is important as well as a common set of goals that you're working towards.
My best friend and her DH almost ended up divorced because of money. It was caused by a lack of communication and seperate credit cards and bank accounts. He used to write her a check every month for his half of the bills and she managed the bill paying. Little did she know that he had close too 100K in debt from CCs and a loan agains his 401K over frivilous spending - a combo of pre and post marriage. She was livid. They decided to get joint accounts and going forward she managed all the expenses and put him on a tight leash.
This wouldn't have been an issue -- seperate accounts -- had he been straight forward about what was going. The problem is when spouses use seperate accounts to hide spending.
Joanna, Mom to my little gearhead born on 3/26/09 and wife to my Big Gearhead since 6/05.
Shift time - be present! www.jmilanes.com
I do all the day to day bill paying but DH knows what our budget is. He knows how much is spent on groceries, gas, water, mortgage, childcare, etc. But he's not involved in the day to day bill pay.
It sounds like you guys don't even have a budget together or at the very least an understanding of what all your bills are every month. That's the first step is to get all your expenses down on paper and go over them with your DH so that he understands where the money is coming in and going out.
Joanna, Mom to my little gearhead born on 3/26/09 and wife to my Big Gearhead since 6/05.
Shift time - be present! www.jmilanes.com
Everything is deposited in our joint and all house hold bills and expenses are paid from our joint. And we carry each others debt cards, so I have 3 debt cards but only use DH's if he asked my to buy something for him..a new belt or a something like that.
I feel like our money is combined and we use separate checking accounts instead of cash envelopes for gas and blow.
Wifey to Vins 7/25/03
Mom to Grey 4/14/11
We have had a joint account since the beginning of our relationship. DH is horrible with money and budgeting. When I met him he was -$400 in his bank acct. I am the financial advisor in our family and manage/pay all the bills. Both our pay checks get direct deposited into the joint acct. DH never cares or asks any questions. He prefers me to handle it. We also have 2 joint savings. I think that when people get married later in life it seems they like to have things seperate. I have friends that are in their 40s that just got married and are set in their ways. I say do whatever works.
Will - April 2006
John - November 2008
(formerly Will'sMom_2006)
We work the same way in our house and have since 1993 when we began living together then married in 1995.
Please forgive my typos. I am usually on my Nook.
His parents taught him money management when he was young, mine didn't.
When we got married, I had EXCELLENT credit because HIS was so great.
He keeps me informed with what's going on so if I need to pay something, I can, but other than that I dont mess with anything except my minor obsession with tithing.
We definitely have a joint account, and then there are the other accounts: savings for Aurora, savings for Jace, general savings, and rental house account.
If I want to buy something, I ask. If he wants to buy something, he lets me know beforehand, and I trust that he knows what hes doing. That doesn't bother me because he hasn't let me down yet! ;)
That works for us!
Blindbee:: I wouldn't change to a joint if separate accounts has been working this long!!! :) do what works for you!

DA: Fair ride operator cooperating with probe
Published: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 11:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 11:24 a.m.
RALEIGH (AP) — Authorities say a thrill ride operator arrested following a mishap at the North Carolina State Fair is cooperating with their investigation.
A judge reduced bond for Timothy Dwayne Tutterrow on Monday after Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby described him as "helpful."
Tutterrow, of Quitman, Ga., was operating the Vortex ride last month when it suddenly spun into motion as people were trying to get out, seriously injuring three people. He has been in jail since his Oct. 26 arrest.
Tutterrow and ride owner Joshua Gene Macaroni are charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assault on a juvenile with a deadly weapon. Macaroni was not present during the mishap.
Wake County Sheriff's investigators say the ride was tampered with to bypass critical safety equipment.

 Contains the complete images from the solo exhibition "17 mm and 180 degrees" as held at Ventura, CA in October 2007. The camera is able to capture views that extend beyond the limits of the human eye. From the all encompassing panorama, in this case extended to a full 180° of view, to the exaggerated perspective of a wide angle lens, in this case 17mm, Peter and Kim show us a different view of reality and allow us to see in a way that we normally could not. Throughout 2007, husband and wife team Peter and Kim Binfield have explored these two unique viewpoints – Peter creating the panoramas, and Kim exploring the wide angle views. This exhibit presents the results of their photographic journey. What Does 17 mm Actually Mean? 17 mm is the focal length of the lens that Kim used to record her wide angle images. Kim and Peter primarily use a digital Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera, but unlike many consumer digital SLRs this particular one has a full frame sensor (the 12 megapixel Canon 5D) which means that images are recorded exactly as they would be on a 35mm film SLR. Therefore a 17mm lens on this camera records a truly 'wide angle' view (the diagonal field of view recorded with the lens is 104 degrees), and whilst this is not a fisheye lens, it still provides an unusually extended field of view. Images recorded with this focal length lens have exaggerated perspective and appear 'hyper-real'. What Does 180 Degrees Actually Mean? A full circle is 360 degrees, and so when Peter refers to "180 degrees" he is referring to an image which extends through half a circle - from one side to another. These images were created by taking multiple high resolution images and digitally bringing them together to form a seamless panoramic image (this is a more flexible technique than simply using a fisheye lens, resulting in images with less distortion and higher resolution - some of the images have a resolution in excess of 140 megapixels). In this way, the panoramas that Peter has created allows the viewer to see and experience far more than would normally be the case. Details at one side or another of a scene suddenly become apparent within the context of the overall scene. See more of their work at www.binfieldphotography.com

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is expected to unveil a series of tough new initiatives Wednesday aimed at curbing violence in America, including an assault-style weapons ban, but his major legislative proposals might face a difficult time in a reluctant Congress.
Many of the more ambitious plans may not even get to a vote in the Republican-run House of Representatives. Others include limiting the capacity of ammunition magazines and requiring background checks for every gun purchase, regardless of where it occurs.
But Obama, aiming to seize momentum with the nation still reeling from the Dec. 14 elementary school shootings in Connecticut, intends to try.
"He will broadly address the steps forward that he believes we need to take as a nation to try to reduce the scourge of gun violence in this country," White House spokesman Jay Carney said. "He believes we need to act now."
The president will be joined at the midday White House announcement by Vice President Joe Biden, his point person on the issue, and children who wrote to him after the shooting in Newtown, Conn. Gun control activists and lawmakers also have been invited. His proposals will include executive actions that don't need congressional approval, as well as legislation.
Congress offered mixed reactions Tuesday.
Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., is the kind of lawmaker Obama would need to get strict gun-control initiatives enacted. A National Rifle Association member, he voted against the assault-weapons ban in the 1990s, and said, "At this point, no," when he was asked whether one could pass the House now.
But Rahall, like many like-minded Democrats and Republicans, is willing to listen in the wake of the massacre at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School, and other incidents.
"The Saturday morning after Sandy Hook, we woke up a different nation," said Rahall, who has been a member of Congress since the mid-1970s.
The chief roadblock to major gun-control legislation is likely to come from Republicans, who control the House. Party leaders said they were unlikely to act until the Senate approved such a measure.
Though Democrats control 55 of the Senate's 100 seats, gun control won't be easy there.
"Is it something that can pass the Senate? Maybe. Is it something that can pass the House? I doubt it," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, discussing the assault ban last weekend on PBS.
Carney said that Obama "believes and knows that most all gun owners are highly responsible, they buy their guns legally, and they use them safely. He also has seen and believes that most gun owners support the idea of common-sense measures to prevent people who shouldn't have guns from getting them."
Other items that have been under consideration include: improved database tracking for weapons sales; better enforcement of existing laws, including tougher prosecution of people who lie on their background checks; imposing new limits on imported guns; and allowing the sharing of mental health records.
Recent polls that found growing support for gun control measures have made gun-control advocates hopeful.
"The American public has had it," said Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y.
On the other hand, the latest Gallup poll found that dissatisfaction with the current gun laws, while up, is still only at 38 percent.
"This is heavy lifting, and it's going to take time," said Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., one of the House's leading gun-control advocates. "Are we going to waste time on heavy lifting, or spend time on things that could get passed?"

Our latest Hadoop-optimized system designs significantly reduce overall power consumption to help protect the environment and save customers money on their energy bills."

"The Supermicro solutions for big data optimized with the Intel Distribution for Apache Hadoop software deliver hardware-enhanced performance and security along with the simplicity of an integrated solution."
