About Svante Jorgensen
Ups, headline should have been 200.000, not 500.000. And to clarify, it is a daily circulation of 200.000.
(Can't I edit my original post somehow?)
The free danish nationwide newspaper metroXpress has been going strong for over 11 years and reportedly had a circulation of over 200.000 in 2012, according to "Dansk Oplagskotrol" (http://www.do.dk/asp/aboutdo.asp) - an independent non-profit organisation used by newspapers and advertisers in Denmark to agree on advertising rates.
Are you joking?
As the supply of waffles goes down, the price will go up eventually - it is only a matter of time, unless someone invents the infinite waffle-maker, in which case the question of running out of waffles is moot.
If fair use is just an exception to copyright, then copyright is just an exception to public domain.
"Copyright? Oh, that's just an exception..."
Are there any evidence to support that a temporary monopoly (of any kind or length) really spur creation more than it hindres it?
The basic problem is that to give the right to one, you have to take it away from all others.
In a ever more connected world, the benefit of no monopoly grows ever larger, but the limited benefit of one person having a monopoly says the same.
Don't feed the troll guys :)
hmm, seems like the blockquote tag didnt work...
So they actually get benefits of the economies of scale by running a large hospital which treats all-comers. That allows them to keep their actual marginal expenses lower than others, and then by offering premiums for those who can afford it, they're able to produce a profit. Interesting stuff...Additionally, and maybe even more important, by treating more people the doctors have more experience with a greater number of illnesses. Irregardless of the size of my wallet, I would prefer a hospital that had treated my kind of illness 50 times in the last year instead of 5. When it comes to doctors I think experience trumps fancy diplomas from fancy schools.
Already, we're seeing how people are effectively using things like Google and the wider internet as a "backup brain." But when you're actually storing memories in your head -- and then backing them up online -- copyright law may have a problem with the backup.
Wow, this is so interesting and fresh. I hope they will have great success, and I'm looking forward to cinema not being 90% textbook disappointments.
Disappointments I can handle, but at least make something new instead of Hero-Movie number 129 and Sobby Yet Comforting Love Story number 267. Don't make me feel that I have seen the movie 100 times before under different names - and stil don't like it.
Indeed, my response as well.
On the Internet, at the basic level, all you can do is copy information. You can copy your own information and send it to others, or you can receive copied information. It's all copies of copies of copies...
In fact, distributing copyrighted material (you have the right to) over the internet should automatically strip the owner of the copyright, since you can't distribute anything over the internet without letting other people copy it.
Willfully distributing your content on the internet and claiming to retain the copyright is a logical fallacy.
TL;DR - Internet and Copyright is incompatible.
Yeah, because you can just look at Denmark where thepiratebay.org and various other sites have been DNS blocked for the last couple of years.
Despite all-you-can-eat music subscription services sucking up a lot of piracy, ppl just use more, and both music sales and piracy have never been bigger (except in CD/DVD form, which continues to decline)

The Monopoly Rents business is dying, save the Monopoly Rents business!
I like all my free Google products - get your dirty hands off my Google!
It is kind of hard to feel sorry for Apple with all it's own ridiculous patent claims. By their own logic, they absolutely owe Personal Audio 8 million dollars.
I wonder, does this also apply to copyright infringement? So if you just quote a person violating a copyright, is it ok?
Cute violation of privacy, but as soon as anyone figures it out everyone will know, and the "bad guys" will just disable it or know not to talk about illicit goods while driving.
Just from what I see in my daily surfing, there is a lot of potential for better targeted adds. There are plenty of things I'm interested in buying, but I rarely see ads for them - and if I do, the click-through never gives me the information that I want. Just "we are teh' best" said in a hundred different ways - never a true reason to buy.
I would even be glad to give up personal information on exactly what I want to see ads for - just so it would be less annoying.

Shake It Up: Summer 2013 Performances of Shakespeare's Plays Throughout NYC
Arts & Entertainment
by Patricia Tisak, 05/29/2013
- events in nyc/

- recently/
For many New Yorkers and visitors, the arrival of summer means that it's time to enjoy some wonderful outdoor performances of William Shakespeare's works in NYC. There are plenty of options—most of them free—to provide entertainment and escape. Read on for all things Shakespeare to see in the City—and don't wait too long, as "summer's lease hath all too short a date."
Macbeth on Broadway
Barrymore Theatre, through July 14
Alan Cumming plays the ambitious nobleman and his wife—and the witches three and the king and, well, everyone in this frenetic one-man tour de force. The production, directed by John Tiffany and Andrew Goldberg, comes to Broadway after sold-out shows at the Lincoln Center Festival and its acclaimed debut at the National Theatre of Scotland. Instead of the black moors of Scotland, however, the play is set in a psychiatric ward, with Cumming as a patient acting out the story of the thane of Glamis. Ticket prices range from $69.50 to $135; a limited number of "$30 Under 30" rush tickets are available at the box office for day-of performances. For tickets, visit telecharge.com.
Shakespeare in the Park
Central Park, Delacorte Theater; The Comedy of Errors, May 28–June 30; Love's Labour's Lost, A New Musical, July 23–August 18
First up in The Public Theater's summer mainstay is The Comedy of Errors, an early Shakespearean farce about two sets of identical twins separated at birth whose unknowing encounters with others cause mounting mayhem. The play, which was last produced by The Public more than 20 years ago, is directed by Daniel Sullivan—an old hand at madcap Shakespearean comedies (he directed As You Like It at Central Park last summer). Next up is "a love letter to Shakespeare in the Park," with Love's Labour's Lost set to music by Michael Friedman and adapted and directed by Alex Timbers (both created the rock musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson). A majority of the tickets are offered free to the general public (two tickets per person) on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of each performance: at noon at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park and through Shakespeare in the Park's online ticketing system, as well as at select locations throughout the five boroughs. For more information, visit shakespeareinthepark.org.
Shakespeare in Carroll Park
Carroll Park, June 28–July 2, July 5–7, 11–14
In its fourth summer of free Shakespeare, Smith Street Stage delves into the pitfalls of power with its production of Julius Caesar. The Brooklyn-based theater company's staging, as usual, will feature contemporary dress. "Our impetus for contemporary dress really ties into one of the bedrock principles of the company, which is that Shakespeare should be recognizable, engaging and enjoyable for all audiences, and that the stories have more immediacy and relevance to our lives than many would first believe," says Jonathan Hopkins, executive director of Smith Street Stage and director of Julius Caesar. Audience members are encouraged to bring their own seating to performances. For more information, visit smithstreetstage.org.
Boomerang Theatre Company
Central Park Boomerang Rock, Central Park West and West 69th Street, June 22–July 14
Watch out, Hamlet—Richard III is the tragic hero of the moment. Thought by some to be a hatchet job to shore up the legitimacy of the Tudor line, Richard III explores the dark heart of a deformed usurper focused on consolidating power amid the political skirmishes of warring bloodlines. Performances, directed by Philip Emeott (who is also playing the title role), are free. For more information, visit boomerangtheatre.org.
New York Classical Theatre
Battery Park, July 9–14, 16–21, 23–28 and July 30–August 4
New York Classical Theatre's panoramic staging of The Tempest is done so that showgoers feel as though they're woven into the fabric of the production. "Panoramic theater" places the audience at the center of the action, says Stephen Burdman, artistic director of New York Classical Theatre. The play will be set in the Victorian era during the Industrial Revolution. Considered by many as Shakespeare's final solo play, The Tempest is a mystical tale about exile and exoneration, servitude and liberation, loyalty and treachery. Open rehearsals will take place six days a week, from June 17 through July 7. Family workshops on the production will be on July 20, 21, 27 and 28. Rehearsals, workshops and performances are all free. For more information, visit newyorkclassical.org.
Pulse Ensemble Theatre's Harlem Summer Shakespeare
Riverside State Park Amphitheatre, 679 Riverside Drive at 145th Street, July 10–August 4
For its ninth season of Shakespearean performances, Pulse Ensemble Theatre presents The Taming of the Shrew. This outdoor production of the comedy, about the will and wiles of women and the men wooing them, will be imbued with the spirit of the Caribbean in the 1950s. Harlem Summer Shakespeare strives to bring Shakespeare to new and wider audiences, says artistic director Alexa Kelly. Tickets are free.
Shakespeare in the Parking Lot
Municipal Parking Lot, Ludlow and Broome Streets; Cymbeline, July 11–13, 18–20 and 25–27; Richard III, August 1–3, 8–10 and 15–17
In a twist so good it's Shakespearean, The Drilling Company is bringing Richard III back to life in a parking lot—a setting most fitting. Earlier this year, the royal remains of the Plantagenet king were found beneath a parking lot in Leicester, England, near where he died at the last clash between the Houses of Lancaster and York. And earlier in the summer, tragedy (or, perhaps, romance) precedes tragedy with The Drilling Company's staging of Cymbeline—one of the Bard's later plays, based on the legends of an early Celtic king—also in the parking lot. Although some chairs are provided, audience members may bring their own for a guaranteed seat—just make sure it's ultra-portable, of course, to accommodate the cars (it's an active parking lot, after all). All performances are free. For more information, visit shakespeareintheparkinglot.com.
Hip to Hip Theatre Company
Parks throughout Queens, July 24–28, July 31–August 4 and 7–11
For its seventh year of performing free Shakespeare in Queens parks, Hip to Hip Theatre Company presents two comedies: Love's Labour's Lost and The Tempest. A Renaissance romcom of sorts, Love's Labour's Lost examines the interplay between the sexes, a favorite theme of Shakespearean comedies. The Tempest, meanwhile, is set amid the extraordinary, but rooted in very real—and complex—human desires and emotions. For more information, visit hiptohip.org.

Juliano Pro Clamp System - A New Spin On Custom ExhaustWritten by on July 23, 2010 Checking Out Juliano's Revolutionary Pro Clamp System
A classic truck project's exhaust system is many times one of the final phases of a build-one that often gets thought about and/or tackled after the chassis, suspension, brake, and driveline upgrades have been handled. It's also one that aside from pipe diameter and the exhaust note/muffler choice doesn't often garner the degree of thought or planning it should.
Before swinging by the local muffler shop, though, we should ask ourselves a couple of exhaust-related questions. Things like pipe routing, the inclusion of a crossover pipe or not, and muffler location (either before or after the rear axle assembly) should be considered as they will play a role in the ease or difficulty of future repairs or modifications. In other words, you don't want to run your pipes and/or hang your mufflers in areas that'll require you to drop either part or all of the system to access and/or replace say your brake master, or transmission/transmission pan and filter if you can possibly help it. Believe me, I'm speaking from experience. Years ago when I built my last F-1, I fabbed my exhaust system myself mostly while lying on my back under the truck with my nose 5 inches from the floorboards. When I was finished, I thought I'd done a great job and made sure to boast to anyone who'd stand still long enough to listen just how good it worked and how well it ended up-oh, and did I mention I did it myself?
It wasn't long after that my under-floor brake master took a dump-a situation that was unfortunate, but not earth-shattering. I figured it to be about a one-hour job I could handle the following morning before I was going to meet the guys for a run out to the beach (in our classic trucks, of course). Ha, boy was I in for a treat ... That home-fabbed, fully welded 21/2-inch exhaust system I'd been crowing about just weeks before just happened to completely block access to said master cylinder. And since I did/do have a nice tubing bender-but not a tube expanding tool-I'd butt-welded all the joints, turning the multi-piece conglomeration into one big giant Rube Goldberg-like monstrosity. To make a long story short, it took an additional few hours, a handful of Sawzall blades, and a snoot full of metal shavings to gain access to said master cylinder, and to redesign and reinstall the system. That's where a product like Juliano's new Pro Clamp stainless steel exhaust connector system would have been a godsend.
The Pro Clamp is an easy-to-install, great-looking exhaust clamping assembly that works even better than it looks-which is a breath of fresh air in these days of off-shore hot rod trinkets. The Pro Clamp is a rather simple concept at its core, consisting of three precision-machined stainless steel components. First, a threaded male piece, which is flush-cut to mate with an exhaust pipe or muffler at one end and a 37-degree male flare at the opposite end. Second, a female piece (again flush-cut at one end to mate with a pipe or muffler) that is machined with an integral raised rib and a female 37-degree flare at the opposite or mating end. Finally, a fluted stainless locking nut, which slides over the female piece and threads onto the male piece holding the two flared pieces together to form a leakfree union. The Pro Clamp's benefits are numerous. First, there's no crimping required, no gaskets to mess with or that will eventually blow out, and, best of all, they don't leak. Plus, when Pro Clamps are incorporated to any system they allow that system to be assembled and/or disassembled in seconds with the use of a spanner wrench made specifically for (and which is supplied with) the Pro Clamp clamping system.
If I'd had the advantage of the Pro Clamp system back when I'd first fabbed that F-1 exhaust system, removing the section of exhaust that blocked that master cylinder would have been a snap. It would've also made that system look much more professional than the butt-welded monstrosity I'd been so proud of at the time. That said, I'll more than likely be using Pro Clamps on my next home-brewed exhaust system. Until then, though, let's take a closer look at Juliano's Pro Clamp system and see just how easy they are to install as well as how good they look.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Having known Bob Juliano for about 20 years I've seen many of his neat ideas come to fruition-from seatbelt anchoring systems to street rod roof inserts and everything in between, but his new Pro Clamp exhaust clamping system is one of my favorites. The stainless steel Pro Clamp is a great-looking leakproof clamping system for assembling classic truck, street rod, and muscle car exhaust systems, making it super simple to perform quick and easy undercar repairs or changes to your exhaust system all the while adding a show-quality professional look to the undercarriage of your pride and joy.To illustrate how the Pro Clamp system works and how simple they are to install we'll show you a sample install on a set of common tube-type headers. Whether you're working with headers as we are here or a section of exhaust tubing, you'll want to make sure whatever you're working on is held firmly in place to facilitate proper installation.When dealing with headers the first step would be to trim the flange off of the collector section of the header. If you're working with a section of exhaust tubing you'll want to make sure you just square off the end of the tube at your installation point.With the collector flange trimmed and the end of the collector squared off the retaining rings are removed from the headers.The female section (at the 37-degree flange) of the three-piece Pro Clamp assembly is then clamped flush to the trimmed collector (or exhaust tube as the case may be) and tack/finish-welded into place. This might be a good time to mention that Pro Clamp assemblies are available in 2- and 21/2-inch diameters, and in either satin or polished form.This angle shows just how important a good straight trim job is on the headers or tubing. You'll want the joints to be as uniform as possible so that the weld beads are as unobtrusive as possible, while still completely sealing the unions between the Pro Clamps and the sections of exhaust system they're being attached to.With the first section of Pro Clamp attached to the first section of exhaust, the next step is to slide the ribbed lock nut over the second section. Don't pull a Rizzo and rush to install the male end of the Pro Clamp before sliding the lock nut into position-because if you do you'll be cutting the connector back off and starting over. The male connector assemblies are attached to the mating section of the exhaust system in the same manner as the first.With the lock nut and mating connectors installed and attached to the exhaust components, this is what you'll end up with.
Another example of how well thought out Juliano's products are is their attention to detail. Realizing the constant heating and cooling (which means constant expansion and contraction) Juliano foresaw the need for a positive locking system to keep the Pro Clamp lock nut tight and the seal leakfree. To accomplish this the lock rings are drilled and tapped for set screws, which prevent the lock rings from backing off and the seals to be broken.This image shows the sample installation completed with the new Pro Clamp union used in place of the original collector/gasket setup. Not only do the Pro Clamps look pretty darn trick, they also give you the benefit of leakfree exhaust connections, as well as quick and easy removal and reinstallation as needed.The Pro Clamp stainless steel exhaust coupling system is just one of the latest in a long line of parts and accessories for hot rods, street rods, and classic trucks available from Juliano's Hot Rod Parts, and they'd make a great-looking and worry-free addition to any classic truck exhaust system. Check 'em out.

I almost always use raster, mostly due to laziness more than anything else - but I'm sure others will be along and give you a more complete (and much better) answer.
This is a subject that I asked privately, but I thought it might be useful to other hobbyists. We have an embarassing rich set of tools to choose from, Inkscape, GIMP on the freeside, Campaign Cartographer, Dunjinni, etc. So much so, that it is confusing to know which to use when.
I've been learning GIMP for awhile now, but I see people talk about vector based tools. I was curious to learn the differences and uses between the two, and I have found there's not really a clear cut definition of when to use either raster or vector. From what I understand, it seems that if you want smooth lines, non-pixellated text, or the ability to scale, you use vector. If you want textures, fills and other effects, you use raster. I'm not sure that's the whole story.
So I'd like to ask you all - when do you use vector vs. raster and more importantly - why? In talking to rank beginners - what should they learn from each tool and when does it make sense to use each tool?
Thank you.

I tend to bounce back and forth between the different tool types.
I use vector tools for shapes I want good control of, i.e. text labels, roads, rivers, icons, symbols.
I tend to bring these as vectors into my raster software then convert them at the scale I need and then rasterize them and add effects, like texturing, shadows, etc.

Its all about the flexibility really. Ultimately everything (save the most extreme examples) gets rasterized but by using vector lines the rasterization process can be optimal at whatever scale it needs to be done at so you can use multiple scales and have one vector map.
Its neigh on impossible to vectorize a photo however. The best you can do is quantize the colors into bands and vectorize those bands. It can look alright but you can usually tell. If those colors are solid like a logo or a font then it can be better to vectorize them however.
If all of your raster icons, textures and other source bitmaps are a lot higher res than the highest final version of map you want to make then there is minimal loss of accuracy by using these high res sources to make a lower res map. Thats why having all the source textures nice and high res is important.
So on to convenience. Its much easier to modify a vector line than it is to modify a rasterized one. Theres other math things that are much easier on vector lines too - like ensuring that the ends of two lines are linked perfectly or ensuring that circles are really circular etc.
Finally, its pretty easy to raster a vector line optimally but its harder to vectorize a raster line. Well ok a line on its own isnt so hard but generally its harder to vectorize raster stuff than rasterize vector stuff so it can be a kind of one way process in many cases. So people might make initial stuff in vector, modify it and then raster it and do all the fills and bitmap stuff from there on. Knowing whats good about each is the key tho. I always advise that you should be familiar with one of each type of app.

I tend to start in vector for general shapes and fills etc and then port it over to a raster editor to add textures etc.
begining to learn both Gimp and Inkscape (and going slow due to time constraints ) and I have a question for you.
I have seen reference to "rasterising" a vector image a couple of times, and I can't figure out if that just means bringing it into a raster prog (ala Gimp) or there is something I need to do in Gimp in order to rasterise it.
some guidance would be helpfull here.
Thanks muchly

Well, I don't know about the Gimp, but in Photoshop, you can rasterize a vector layer by right-clicking on it and choosing "rasterize" or by going through the layers menu. Generally speaking, I don't rasterize something until I need to add effects to it. As was mentioned, it's a one-way street. Again, though, I don't know how Gimp handles imported vector work.
Now, choosing between starting in raster or vector, for me, depends on the kind of image I want to produce. For textured maps like Mennin's Hallow, raster is the way to go. I can't imagine trying to do something like that in Illustrator. For clean-looking images like that Wheel of Time map I did recently, vector is the tool of choice. Best of all, though, is a combination of both. HandsomeRob's atlas maps are done with a combination of the two--raster for the shaded relief, and vector for the linework.

A vector line is a math representation of a line with either two end points or one starting point and a direction - all just numbers.
Raster is a bunch of dots in a grid which have colors assigned to them to make up the image.
Rasterizing is where you go from something into a raster set of pixels. So what happens is that the app runs down the math line and colors in the dots. Its a little more complex than taking the closest and making it black on a white background for example as most measure the distances from the exact math line to the square pixel position and shade it darker the closer you are so it looks smoother and better.
So apps like say inkscape can export the math vector data to a raster version where it will do all that processing for you and leave you with a rastered bitmap - a rectangular set of pixels stored in a container like a JPG or a PNG.
Going the other way involves looking at the rectangular set of pixels and trying to best fit a line onto the darker pixels. Thats a more inexact science and different programs will give different results - some better than others.

Then of course, the exception to the rule, there's me and Xara.
Since Xara, though primarily a vector application has some hybrid raster operations built within it. I (as I always say) use Xara almost exclusively.
The question would be when do I use raster? Sometimes a texture is not condusive to my goals, so I image edit in PS or GIMP. I clean up images, alter colors, use cloner brushes to fix details. If I use 3D objects, which are rasterized before using them further, I do the fixes in PS/GIMP.
I almost never bring a map back into PS/GIMP to finish it. All compositing, texture filling, not to mention grids and labels are all done in vector.
I don't think I would ever totally create a map in GIMP - not my aesthetic or preferred method of operation.
I would like to learn to create bump maps better in GIMP, then I'd finish my maps by doing that - but that's the only thing I can think of to use GIMP as my final step in creating a map.

Hmm ok better talk about texture mapping then. This is where you take a raster image and apply it into a vector space which is usually a 3D polygon for 3D models but it can also be a vector 2D area too.
What its essentially doing is resampling the raster texture but its not doing it with fixed scaling, the scaling is selected per pixel based on the vector shape so you can texture map a rectangular photo onto a circular disk for example. You can control the circle shape in a vector way and the image inside is a raster photo conforming to the shape of the circle.
I believe this is what Xara does and is what my ViewingDale does which allow both apps to scale up stuff using photo textures in a kind of vector way. In my opinion tho texture mapping is more of a raster process than a vector one. If you conform a low res photo into a shape and make that shape big then you will get the pixels showing up. If the photo was truly vectorized, which Xara can do very well too, then it would scale up perfectly but as said earlier it has to limit the colors and vectorize the bands within that photo instead of the full range of colors. So theres several options available but its just worth familiarizing yourself with all the options.

Hello guys!
I got an ML310e micro server that provide with some sort of soft array that requires be supported by the OS.
In very generic terms, the Ubuntu Server 10.04 is not supported by HP's drivers.
The specification starts at Ubuntu Server 12.04 and they does not even guarantee it would work at all.
So, what do you guys think about use Ubuntu Server 12.04 as OS core for ZNE 7.2.2?
Is that an option?
Thanks in advance!. PoKo


text: I do not see anything wrong with them. When it comes to rivers, remember that they flow from high ground to low ground, and USUALLY do not split on the way there. they JOIN with others to make the larger rivers. Lakes might have many feeders, but only ONE exit flow. My one suggestion about your land shape, would be remove that land bridge at the northern tip of your largest lake. This would allow for some interesting sea lanes much akin to the Straits of Gibraltar. Anyhoot, follow those river pointers and you should be fine.

Airport revamp ready to fly?
With more than half of the 88 new stores and restaurants open and Terminal 2's convenient elevated roadway for departing-passenger drop-off up and running, the first phase of the San Diego International Airport's much-needed makeover is ready for your inspection.
What has the $907 million "Green Build" project brought us so far? Passengers flying out of Terminal 2 have more food and shopping options, some of them local. Also better coffee and beer; a larger security area; 10 new gates and chairs with USB and phone-charger outlets. And a spa.
And passengers using Terminal 1, overstuffed home of the frequently-flown Southwest Airlines? Say hello to your new craft brewery and Ryan Bros. coffee stand. The new food court and the adjacent Pacifica Restaurant are scheduled to open in November.
As you can see, not all of the improvements were created equal. Most of the new stuff is in Terminal 2, and because the bulk of the makeover action happened on the other side of security, you will need a boarding pass to take advantage of it. For those who have a ticket to fly, here's a look at perks that await.
You are where?: With its cool, modernist expanses of glass, stainless steel and gleaming tile, the sleek interior design of Terminal 2 doesn't scream "Welcome to San Diego!" so much as it murmurs, "Your robot manservant will see you now." But what Terminal 2 lacks in blatant surf 'n' sand boosterism it makes up for in unspoken bragging rights.
The palm trees in the food court aren't real, but there is no faking the stunning views of sky, clouds and runway from the terminal's many windows. Not to mention the infusions of natural sunlight pouring in from everywhere. It's not homey, but it's home. And by the time they leave, the people who don't live here already will be wishing they did.
Best View: You don't have to be a jet-setter to feel like one. Just saunter over to the Sunset Cove food court (Terminal 2 West), where you can buy a $21.99 glass of Veuve Clicquot "Yellow Label" Champagne from the Bubbles wine bar (or a $9.99 Gaslamp Burger from the Seaside Stack Shack stand) and ogle the runway through the floor-to-ceiling windows like you own the place.
Biggest missed opportunity: From Saffron's drunken noodles to Stone Brewing Co.'s Ruination IPA, the airport made good on its promise to include local eateries (and drinkeries) in the food-concessions overhaul. Unfortunately, the new offerings do not include homegrown Mexican food. Yes, you can get a Chipotle-style assembly-line burrito at the airport, thanks to the Terminal 2 West outlet of the Qdoba "Fresh Mex" chain. And no, Qdoba does not count as homegrown Mexican food, even if it is owned by the San Diego-based Jack-in-the-Box. Oh, Carnitas' Snack Shack, where art thou?
Best excuse for loitering: While there is a head-scratching shortage of new San Diego airport art by San Diego artists, two pieces by out-of-towners have a beachy flair that helps warm up all that stainless steel.
San Francisco artist Jim Campbell gives us "The Journey," a ceiling-suspended swath of LED lights featuring hypnotic images of seagulls and waves. Spend a few Zen-like seconds watching the shadows shift; your racing red-eye pulse will thank you. Then it is off to one of Terminal 2's eight new bathrooms for a viewing of Rhode Island artist Erik Carlson's "¿Donde Está?," a series of impressionist video installations featuring dreamy footage from some of our most iconic beaches. The screens are embedded in the restroom entry walls, and they are the most fun you'll ever have while lurking outside a public loo.

American Idol
Lazaro Arbos Eliminated on American Idol — Watch All His Performances!
Despite struggling with a lifelong stuttering problem, Lazaro Arbos impressed the American Idol 2013 judges with his beautiful version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" during the audition round. But it may be his moving backstory and sweet personality that has gotten him all the way to the Top 10.
But how far did this Cuban-bred singer make it in Season 12? Well, he was one of the talented few to make it through to Las Vegas and then on to the Top 20! The judges loved his version of "Edge of Glory" during Hollywood Week and thought he had the right stuff to make the Top 10 guys. After that, he sailed smoothly right along to the Top 10 finalists for Season 12.
Things got a bit bumpier for Lazaro in the Top 10 as he kept forgetting his lyrics and going off pitch, but his fans held strong and got him all the way to the Top 6. Sadly for Lazaro, that was as far as they could take him and he was voted out of the competition. The American Idol judges could have used their one and only save of the season to rescue him, but they decided not to.
Watch all of Lazaro Arbos' American Idol 2013 performances below!

Sleight of HandWritten by on June 16, 2003 What you see is not what you get with this stock appearing Hemi GTX
Got a quick street machine? Like to take it out on cruise night and pick on stock musclecars? You might want to think twice before messing with Joel Nystrom's innocent-looking 1967 Hemi GTX. Though it appears suitable for feature in a chalk-mark-and-grease-pencil periodical like Musclecar Review, this GTX is one of the fastest cars competing in the hot new factory-appearing drag race craze. Would you believe this car capable of running deep into the elevens, just as it sits? No slicks, no DOTs, no drag radials. Hell, the car hasn't even got headers. So how does a guy get a car like this to run so quick? Attention to detail? Technique? Magic?
Perhaps the most obvious answer is power, and lots of it. Cloaked under the guise of a stock air cleaner and valve covers is a 484ci short block, based on a '66 Hemi cylinder case. Inside, the rotating assembly consists of a Mopar Performance 4.15-inch stroke crankshaft, Wiseco 11.8:1 forged pistons, Childs & Albert rings, Manley Sportsmaster connecting rods and Federal-Mogul bearings. Engine magician Chuck Lofgren performed all necessary machine work to the block and components, and Nystrom completed the final assembly. Nystrom also fabriicated a custom, stock-appearing, 8-quart oil pan. A stock 2x4 intake manifold was relieved of its plenum dividers and mounts two original Carter AFBs. Fuel delivery is provided by a stock mechanical pump, which is supplemented by a Holley 90-gph electric unit. Lying concealed is an MSD 6-AL ignition box, which in turn is triggered by the factory dual point distributor (with one set of points removed). "I added the MSD box mainly to make use of its rev limiter function," Nystrom said.
The fabled Hemi heads were left in the skilled hands of cylinder head shaman Glen Knowlton for machine work and porting. Manley stainless steel valves (2.25-inches intake, 1.94-inches exhaust) and Landy roller rockers were added to work in conjunction with the solid roller cam of undisclosed specifications. With the engine assembled and dropped in place, extrude-honed exhaust manifolds were added, along with a Dr. Gas X-pipe, a TTI mandrel-bent 2.5-inch exhaust system, and Dynomax Ultra-Flo stainless steel mufflers. Run on a chassis dyno, the big Hemi produced an unassailable 550hp at the rear wheels. What is most surprising about this is just how docile the car is at idle and when puttering around at cruising speeds. Crack the throttle, though, and you'll have little choice but to fall under the spell of the Hemi.
Less obvious is the plethora of unseen tricks populating the car, all made in the name of stealth and quick ETs. The gear set in the original four-speed was sent to Liberty for refurbishment and re-installed in the freshened crashbox by the owner. He also installed a McLeod 800-series clutch with a 14-pound aluminum flywheel. The original Dana 60 rearend now contains 4.10 gears and a pair of Strange Engineering S/T axles. Notable suspension modifications include poly bushings in the rear springs, an adjustable pinion snubber, and Competition Engineering shocks, 90/10 in front and Mopar Performance 50/50 in the rear.
Though most of these mods are pretty much standard fare in the Factory Appearing Drag ranks, one area where Nystrom has bucked the trend is in his choice of rolling stock. While many of his competitors are going the route of stamped steel wheels and hubcaps in the name of reduced weight, the green machine sports factory Magnum 500 wheels. Mounted on the factory chromies are reproduction Firestone F70-14 redline tires that serve duty on both street and strip. "I've played with tire pressures a lot," he added. "Most guys who run small bias ply tires report best traction with 40 psi or more. That didn't work too well for me; 32 psi seemed to provide the best 60-foot times. I've also experimented with many different traction compounds for the tires, and found that Formula V works the best. I apply it to the tread with a paint roller three times a day for three days, then allow it to dry for at least 48 hours before use. It's not a miracle that turns bias-plies into slicks, but it does help."
Very much the hands-on type, Nystrom is proud to say that he has done nearly all of the work on the car himself, including the transmission and rearend assembly. To wit: "I cut the guts out of an authentic (read: expensive) re-pop battery and hid a 15-pound Dyna-Batt dry cell inside. That saved 37 pounds off the front end of the car. At the other end, I filled a spare tire with water and install it when traction is low. This helps a bit off the line, but hurts the top end." Inside is a completely original black interior, looking remarkably fresh for its age. Even the shifter is stock. Or is it? Nystrom confesses: "I modified the stock handle and mounted it to a Hurst Competition Plus shifter."
So which modification has worked best? "I don't think any one mod really dominates. It has just been a lot of little things. Well, I suppose the roller cam really helped. That combined with the extrude-honed manifolds added 60hp. The intake manifold modification added another 25 horses, but it may have actually hurt overall performance. It forces me to rev it higher to launch without bogging. If the track is slippery, that is more likely to cause tire spin. Of course, when the traction is there, it helps," he said. All told, the combination works very well as the car's best pass ever is 11.70 at 124 mph. "The more seat time I get, the faster it runs. Learning to drive a 650hp car on 6-inch wide poly-glass tires takes practice; it's a lot different than running slicks!"
Like any good illusionist, Joel Nystrom is a master of diversion. With nothing up his sleeve but a Hemi, he draws you in and distracts you with a mellow exhaust note and a stock-appearing resto look. But given half a chance, he will be busy making your mean machine disappear... In his review mirror!
FAST is the acronym for Factory Appearing Stock Tire drag racing. The FAST idea is to "look stock, sound stock and run fast, the way musclecars should." FAST is designed to allow competition between production musclecars built from 1955 to 1974. Banned however, are factory lightweight cars built for sanctioned drag racing, such as the Super Stock cars. Also illegal are those built or modified by dealerships of the day, such as the Yenko or Baldwin/Motion creations. In other words, the car year, make, model, body style and engine combination must all have been produced and available to the general public. In order to compete, cars must be equipped with "a minimum of four-barrel carburetion, dual exhaust, and other factory installed equipment that promotes a high-performance image." The cool part is that any modification that leaves the car looking and sounding stock is fair game. If this sounds like your type of racing, you can find more information about FAST on the web at: http://www.geocities.com/fadrags/

pH Cleanse
pH Cleanse 4 Ounce
Serving Size: 10 Drops Servings Per Container: ~200
Sodium Chlorite
**Daily value not established.
Active Ingredient: Sodium Chlorite (5%); Inert Ingredients (95%)
Suggested Use: Adults and children mix one (1) drop of Internal Cleanse per twenty (20) pounds of body weight in 4-6 ounces of water twice daily and consume - preferably after food. See brochure for additional suggestions.
Warning: Do not use undiluted as this will burn the area(s) in which you apply this product. Exceeding standard dosage may cause nausea or diarrhea. If you are nursing or pregnant, consult with your physician before using this product.
The active ingredient in pH Cleanse is 5% sodium chlorite (NAClO2), not to be confused with table salt. It is a powerful antifungal which also kills bacteria, viruses and parasites. pH Cleanse also raises pH levels in the body which raises oxygen levels.
It has been well-understood for many years that cancer, fungi, parasites, and the like thrive in a low pH environment; therefore increasing your pH may prove to be very beneficial to your health. In addition, pH Cleanse boosts the immune system by causing the white blood cells to release cytokines which trigger the immune system to produce natural powerful oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide. The oxidants kill pathogens (fungi, virus, bacteria and parasites) by stripping electrons from their atoms and molecules.
The active ingredient in pH Cleanse has been used for decades in the process of cleaning water in municipal water treatment facilities. It has also been used for many years by food companies in the process of killing and preventing fungi on fruits and vegetables and bacteria on meat, fish and poultry. Dentists use it as a tooth whitening agent. It has been used for almost 90 years as a dietary supplement and was grandfathered in as a supplement by the FDA in 1994.
The pH Cleanse manufacturing process is truly proprietary and unique. This is a product that has been evaluated by Universities, MDs, and independent laboratories beginning more than thirty years ago. We have posted some of this research that was done for the manufacturer of pH Cleanse. Reading the remarkable findings of these researchers makes many people wonder why they didn't find out about this amazing product sooner. The documents have been reproduced with the pH Cleanse name in place of the manufacturer's name at the manufacturer's request.
Because of the power of pH Cleanse you should not start too fast. Read the suggestions on the brochure because taking too much pH Cleanse too fast can result in nausea, diarrhea, or dye-off effects. Do not use undiluted, as this will burn your mouth and skin.

What: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Where: Center for Puppetry Arts
When: Nov. 18 – Jan. 2, 2010, see website for specific times
Cost: $16 for ages 2 and older
The holidays just wouldn't be the holidays without Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and all the claymation specials from my childhood. I'm super excited about the Center for Puppetry Arts production of Rudolph. The Center is replicating the 1964 (didn't realize it was that old) stop-motion animated special.
Although this is a new way to see the classic tale, the puppet makers at the Center for Puppetry Arts are faithfully adhering to the original story and characters – there's not "interpretation" of the story. I appreciate that. I don't like people messing with my childhood memories.
In addition to a great show, your admission also includes the Create-a-Puppet workshop, where you'll make a Rudolph string puppet. Save a little time and tour the Center's Museum as well.
We're headed to see the show opening weekend. If you'd like to see the show too, we're giving away a family four pack for opening weekend. Here's what you need to do to win.

Man stole cellphone from Sheriff's Office, officials say
Published: Friday, August 2, 2013 at 6:22 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 2, 2013 at 6:22 p.m.
A Marion County Jail inmate trusty who officials said admitted to stealing a cellphone belonging to the Sheriff's Office so he could contact his girlfriend was re-arrested Friday and charged with petit theft and tampering with evidence.
Sgt. Robert Johnson, assistant director of Emergency Management, told Detective T.J. Watts that a Verizon cellphone that was to be used by volunteers had been stolen, which they discovered when they received a bill that indicated the device had been used July 11 through July 15.
Leon M. Burton, 23, who has been in jail since July 2012 for charges related to child support, possession of Xanax and possession of marijuana, was assigned to Emergency Management as an inmate trustee.
In investigating the number on the phone bill, it was determined it belonged to Burton's girlfriend, according to reports.
The woman told Watts she has a child with Burton and confirmed she had been receiving text messages and phone calls from him. She allowed Watts to review her cellphone and he retrieved all of the communications between the two, including some of a sexual nature.
Burton told Watts he took the phone to contact his girlfriend and said he later threw it in the trash.
"The Inmate Work program is an asset because it saves taxpayers money by providing manual labor for things such as litter control and facility maintenance. And, in turn, it teaches the inmates a work ethic and in some cases job skills that would enable them to be successful upon their release. When they violate that trust and the law, we act swiftly," said Capt. James Pogue, spokesman for the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
Burton had been slated for release in early November.

Funding via VisionFund Kenya
This loan is a part of SMEP's loan program to promote clean drinking water in partnership with Water.org. Called WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), this program offers three loan products:1) Loans designed to increase access to water. This includes financing for water tanks, water connections, water kiosks, pumps, filters, dispensers and catchment systems.
WASH loan products carry greater risk than typical Kiva loans because they are used to fund non-income generating assets (in most cases), and therefore will need to be repaid with other sources of income. This income may already be contingent on other loans held by loan recipients.

Effective Schools Project
About ESP
Initiated in 1988, Tarleton State University's Effective Schools Project (ESP) has evolved into one of the nation's largest and longest-running school-improvement ventures. With the Effective Schools research as its foundation, ESP is a school improvement network linking the Tarleton faculty with campus leadership teams from over fifty Texas schools in an ongoing effort to enhance school effectiveness. Since its inception, ESP has partnered with 216 different public schools campuses and Education Service Centers to provide comprehensive professional development opportunities for educators.
Participation in ESP is voluntary. To maximize your school's benefit from participating in ESP we recommend that each school do the following:
- Develop a campus improvement plan
- Appoint a Campus Leadership Team to attend ESP professional development workshops and seminars
- Provide opportunities for the Leadership Team to share what they have learned with the rest of the faculty
- Apply what has been learned to campus improvement goals
- Conduct regular assessment of progress in relation to campus goals
- Refine the learning environment and instructional practices through on-going professional development
Conferences and Seminars
Professional development conferences and seminars are at the heart of ESP. These events provide members with current educational research, theories, and policies while emphasizing campus implementation and classroom instruction. Seminars draw upon the expertise of state and national consultants. An Advisory Committee of teachers, principals, and superintendents recommends topics and speakers, helping ESP respond to campus and district needs and concerns. The professional development series is organized around school improvement themes broadly associated with one or more of the correlates of effective schools. "Enhancing Teaching and Learning with Innovative Instruction".
Campus Planning Workshop
In March, ESP leadership teams are invited to attend a planning workshop. This spring retreat has become one of the most anticipated and valued events of the project year. During the workshop, school leadership teams are able to evaluate their school year-to-date, to reflect on the research and other information received at ESP conferences, to refine their campus improvement plan or other school operations, and to exchange ideas, goals, and triumphs with other campus teams.
The ESP Journal
The ESP Journal is the official publication of the Effective Schools Project. The state-wide journal is dedicated to the dissemination of information, ideas and research among the participates in ESP, as well as other interested educators. Published annually, each issue of the journal focuses on a particular theme, but consideration is given to non-thematic articles.

|"Yup. A real head scratcher."
Ahhhhh. The first week of play is over at the 2013 Australian Open. I dare say most everything has been going to plan, with the exception of sixth-seeeded Juan Martin del Potro's 5-set loss to Frenchie Jeremy Chardy in the third round yesterday. If you follow me on Twitter (self-promo alert: @RawUncutTennis), you will have witnessed my conniption during the tennis match. You see, Delpo and I have a very special relationship. 'Special' as in I totally wrangled him into taking a picture with me after Taste of Tennis one year along with Karen from Tennis Panorama. Whatever. When he loses, I feel it, okay?
Sam Stosur imploded during her epic choke against Jie Zheng in the second round – certainly not "BREAKING NEWS!" for her in Oz. Disappointing? Yes. Shocking? Hell nah nah. Other than that, the faves have been making pretty quick work of their foes. Maria Sharapova not only performed a single axel, triple sow cow, double double bagel in her first two rounds, but also a pseudo-controversial post-match celebration after crushing Venus Williams. (Shrieka and/or her corporate sponsor doppelganger also officially joined Twitter.)
|"Thumbs up for me in a dress?"
Like the Russian giant, Serena Williams has been barely losing games. She's been rolling over her opponents and almost took her right ankle with her. But ReRe redeemed herself by pummeling two 128 mph serves – that's gotta make a girl feel good. During her match against an injured Jamie Hampton (who can hit a serious ball) Victoria Azarenka seemed…cranky. Maybe she needs a RedFoo diet. Svetlana Kuznetsova is wearing a dress. That alone is news. But the 2-time Grand Slammer is having a good streak and winning matches. Shhhh! Don't tell her.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PETRA KVITOVA? We didn't get any closer to answering this question in Oz. Sadly.
|"Gimme that MOMA, Worm."
Novak Djokovic is looking pretty flawless in game and Uniqlo fashion. Roger Federer and Andy Murray haven't lost a set either, but they've all had some tight sets. Still, in this form, it's hard to see any of them getting upset before the semifinals. Jerzy Janowicz gave an Oscar-winning performance. Can you believe the fucking unbelievably bad luck Brian Baker has had with injuries? It was heartbreaking to see him being wheeled off the court after tearing his meniscus during his second round match against Sam Querrey. Another four months out for BB. On the opposite side of the tennis spectrum, Rafael Nadal announced he's officially returning a bit earlier at the Chilean Open on February 4. Rafanatics rejoice!
So, onto the second week. Bring it.

Shipping and handling is $6 per order (not per item) anywhere in the US. Standard shipping is by Priority Mail, so please give me your mailing address, not your UPS address. The $6 doesn't actually cover the cost in many cases, but it's easy to calculate, and is my way of saying "thank you".
Orders in New York State require sales tax. If you don't know the sales tax in your county, I can calculate it for you, but you should expect it to be added. This applies only to orders shipped to addresses within New York State.
I'm sorry, U.S. orders only please.
Most folks use a credit card and the encrypted secure order form. If you prefer, you can FAX your order to 716-731-3715. I'll need the type of card (Discover, Visa, or Master Charge), card number and expiration date. Of course I'll also need to know what you are buying, and where to send it. Please include your e-mail address.
If you don't have a FAX, you can call 716-731-3715. If your timing is good, you can just speak to me and give me the order. If I'm not in the office it will default to the FAX machine. No collect calls.

The Postal Snail may be slow, but he's faithful and discreet. Checks may be held for clearance, so if you're in a hurry, use a money order.
Everything on the page should be on hand and ready to ship. However some items may be short supply, so if you are ordering by mail, you might want to e-mail first so that I can hold your item (email@example.com).

UPDATE 05-17-2011 at 11:40pm by Jerry Askin
Janie and Harold Thurmond were planning to take a missionary trip with 20 other members from their church last July 2010, but days before their departure, they found out their trip was off.
"We were going to Galapagos Island on a missions trip and I called American Airlines to check on the tickets and was told we did not have tickets," says Janie Thurmond.
Authorities say 70-year-old Charles McComas who owned a South Florida travel agency used more than $27,000 from the Medart Assembly of God Church for general business purposes and a potential sale of the travel agency that he said fell through.
"We could not believe it, I could not believe it," says Janie Thurmond.
The Thurmond's say the church had been planning the missions trip for months and while they're veteran missionary goers, others would have been missionaries for the first time.
"This man just took advantage of his position and took our money," says Harold Thurmond.
WCTV stopped by the church today just to get reaction from the pastor, he declined to comment.
Even some residents can't believe someone would steal funds from a church.
"They had a mission to go over and help others, and to see all their hard work plunged and taken away from them is very sad," says Wakulla County resident Andrea Kindell.
"Taking away from the people that care and wanna do the right thing, it's atrocious," says Renee Calhoun of Wakulla.
The Thurmond's say the pastor has gotten many donations and has given many of the church members the money they lost from that missions trip. McComas is now being held in the Dade County jail. charged with grand theft over $20,000. He is expected to be transported to the Wakulla County Jail, although it's unknown exactly when.
Crawfordville, Florida - May 17, 2011 -
Wakulla County Sheriff's Office investigators arrested a 70-year-old Coral Gables man in connection with a fraud involving a Medart church and $27,344 invested in a missionary trip that church parishioners never took to the Galapagos Islands off Equator.
A Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agent arrested McComas Tuesday, May 17 in Miami and transported him to jail in Dade County where he will be held pending extradition or posting of bond.
Charles Bowman "Bo" McComas was charged with grand theft, over $20,000 under $100,000, in the case. He was arrested in South Florida and is expected to be transported to the Wakulla County Jail.
Twenty-two members of the Medart Assembly of God Church began planning a trip to the Galapagos Islands in 2010. Pastor Jeff McFalls contacted the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office in January 2011 and filed a complaint against McComas and World Mission Tours in Dade County.
The church pastor told investigators that Medart Assembly of God has used the travel agency for 16 years and paid their money for the trip in April and June 2010.
In July 2010, a church member contacted American Airlines and requested to use her frequent flyer mileage for the trip and the airline informed her that they did not have a reservation for the church members.
Detective Drew Vass, Detective Matt Helms and Lt. Sherrell Morrison began a financial investigation and determined that World Mission Tours was purchased by a travel agency in Central Florida which sued World Mission Tours for money it was owed.
A check with American Airlines Corporate Security determined that a down payment on the airline seats was sent to American, but the rest of the payment was not received prior to the ticketing deadline and the reservation down payment of $2,500 was refunded.
Investigators contacted the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) which regulates the sale of airline tickets and discovered that World Mission Tours lost its accreditation prior to the incident due to lack of payment to airlines. The down payment for the seats was made through another travel agency who agreed to work with McComas and take on some of his clients.
During interviews with McComas in Coral Gables, investigators learned that he used the Medart Assembly of God money for general business purposes and a potential sale of the company that he said fell through.
Investigators also determined that the church group paid for $10,000 worth of lumber that was waiting for them on the Galapagos Islands. It is unclear what has happened to the lumber. The church members planned to leave for their trip on July 31, 2011. Deputy Cole Wells and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) also investigated.

The right pair of athletic shoes can be an important tool to prevent injuries and keep you comfortable. Unfortunately, athletic shoe shopping can be intimidating with a sea of shoe choices and everyone claiming to have
shoe for you.
Wearing the right athletic shoe will no doubt enhance your performance and provide the comfort and support you need to enjoy staying active. It is also important to help you:
On average, walking brings a force equal to several hundred tons on your feet each day. The proper fit and shoe for your activity help protect your feet from ailments that can develop over time. Common foot problems that may be associated with poor footwear include:
You will also increase the risk of injury, which can sideline your activity plans for a long time.
Your feet are subject to more injury than any other part of your body. Injuries that can solely be the result of failing to wear the right shoes include:
The next step may be a little more work at first, but remember that it will be worth it in the end. When possible, shop at a store that caters to the sport in which you participate. They have the most knowledge and will make it worth your time.
Tracking down a pair of athletic shoes that is appropriate for you does not need to be an impossible task. Before you get to the store, determine if you need a new pair of shoes. Look for cracks in the sole of the shoe or worn down heels. These are clear signs it is time to toss what you are wearing. Other signs of excess wear include stiff feel in the shoe, or deformity of the upper shoe. If you have noticed pain or soreness in your feet after a workout, it could also mean you are due for new shoes.
The next thing to think about may not be so obvious. What type of feet do you have? Everyone has different feet, but they tend to fall into 3 categories:
There seems to be an endless choice of athletic shoes. Most are designed for a specific type of activity.
Do not be intimidated. Generally, stores have sections of athletic shoes. You can narrow down the choices right away by finding the section that is closest to your activity. Here are some different types of athletic shoes you may find:
You found your perfect shoe, now for the perfect fit...
A good fit is critical for your enjoyment and performance. Keep in mind that it is wise to go shopping after a workout or at the end of the day, when your feet will be at their largest. Also, you will want to wear the same type of sock that you will wear when you are exercising.
Next, you will want to try on several different pairs of shoes. Shoes fit properly when: There is a firm grip of the shoe to your heel. You can wiggle all of your toes. The shoes do not feel too tight or too loose.
Lastly, you should have both feet measured. Fit shoes to your larger foot. Lace your shoes beginning at the farthest eyelets; apply even pressure as you crisscross to the top of the shoe. Try on both shoes. Walk or run a few steps. The shoes should be comfortable as soon as you try them on. You should not need to break in athletic shoes to make them comfortable.
There are many things to consider when shopping for athletic shoes but after some initial research you should be able to narrow down the shoe choices for you. Then all you'll have to do is tie them on and head out the door.

FreeMotion Fitness Launches FreeMotion Incline Trainer
(October, 2006 - COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.) - FreeMotion Fitness™, the provider of the first, and only, full circuit of integrated functional training equipment in the industry, adds to the FreeMotion Cardio line with the introduction of the FreeMotion Incline Trainer at the 2006 Club Industry Conference and Exposition on October 5th to 7th.
"The Incline Trainer is a feature in my facility," said Juan Carlos Santana, director of the Institute of Human Performance. "It closely mimics the acceleration angles of running, is an easy way to perform high intensity interval training, and is a phenomenal piece for getting great cardio and leg strength with low impact."
Like two machines in one, what also makes the Incline Trainer unique is its wide range in speed and incline. With speeds from 0.5 to 12 MPH and incline from -3 to 30 percent of grade, the machine's versatility can accommodate the marathoner, someone out for a stroll or the club member looking for a hike. Users can realize great results with the benefits of incline training. Walking on an incline offers similar fitness benefits to running on a flat surface while burning more calories, producing comparable cardiovascular results and putting less impact on joints.
The FreeMotion Incline Trainer is powered by the innovative DRVS™, Direct Rear Velocity System; a rear-drive motor system and vector drive motor controller, combined with urethane deck isolators provide additional cushioning that creates a more comfortable running surface reducing impact on joints. DRVS runs cooler, cleaner and quieter while reducing belt-wear for less maintenance.
To further enhance the club member's cardio workout, the FreeMotion Incline Trainer also offers the optional Workout TV console. The 12.1" flat panel LCD screen gives users their own entertainment options - all the facility needs is coaxial cable. Integrated directly into the console, FreeMotion Fitness took great care in positioning the screen to offer a crisp, bright picture and comfortable viewing. The LCD screen offers a wide viewing angle and the console is positioned so users of various heights can watch TV with optimal, upright head and neck alignment. The button controls are within close reach, so users can change channels and volume easily.
No other piece of cardio equipment can offer so much. From its durability and reliability to its ability to provide users with versatile workout options and entertainment, the FreeMotion Incline Trainer is a must-have for any fitness facility.

My mother left me a cookbook that is the most amazing one I have ever seen. It is approx 1700 pages, the last pages are missing on my copy. I remember the cover, which is long gone, was green. It is definitely American as it has instructions for dressing American game. Also includes canning, preserving and pickling. As well as freezing, menus, diet patterns, a homemaker's handbook for purchasing fruits and vegetables. Also instructions on stretching the food dollar. So my question is how or where can I find out the name of this cookbook?
You can find online copies of such cookbooks in Project Gutenberg, in the cooking section. For example:
Choose some unique phrases from the book (things you don't expect to appear in many other books) and search for them (in quotes) in Google books. Look at the scanned pages in the search results and see if they match your book.
If that doesn't work, try a general google search, again with the phrase quoted. (If you're looking for an old cookbook and it's on the web, it's likely at Google Books or archive.org, but there are some other, smaller collections out there.)
If you get too many results, you can take a 2-3 of the chapter headings or phrases and do a search for the combination. You'll want to choose headings that you don't expect to both appear in many books. E.g.,
If an online search doesn't work, you could also try asking a librarian or bookseller who specializes in old cookbooks. They may know the book or have more resources to look it up.
