Today's thoughts start with a still breaking and disturbing story from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
A 21-year-old from Idaho has been caught and arrested after Secret Service agents say he fired off at least two shots at the White House with a high-powered rifle last Friday night. I was at the White House today and it was an alarming sight (see picture below).
Agents and investigators scoured the grounds, and canvassed the rooftop. They even set up a blue tent just beyond the fountain for evidence collection. As it turns out, one bullet actually struck a window in the residence (2nd floor Portico we think) and another hit the exterior. The round that hit the window broke through the historic old glass pane, but fortunately was blocked by another, bullet-proof pane just inside of the 1st.The White House (Photo: Scott Thuman)
The suspect, Oscar Ortega-Hernandez, was caught this afternoon in Pennsylvania at a hotel after an employee reportedly recognized him from photos circulated by law enforcement and called police. Ortega-Hernandez had been described as mentally unstable. No word yet on if police believe he was intentionally aiming for the White House and as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, Secret Service tells me they're still testing the ballistics to see if it matches up to the weapon left in a car they say Ortega-Hernandez abandoned while fleeing the city.
No one was hurt and President Obama was in Hawaii at the time.
The super committee has a super problem on its hands: the calendar. There's just one week left for the bi-partisan group to come up with a plan to cut $1.2 trillion - yes, that's trillion with a 'T' from the federal budget. If they can't, a trigger option goes into effect. In other words, mandatory cuts that both sides desperately want to avoid. The targets would include Defense (a no-no for Republicans) and social services like Medicare (Democrats' sacred cow).
That means a furious push right now to trim the fat, and fast but is there a chance they'll actually get it done in time? It doesn't look good.
I was talking about this last night with one long-time member of congress who when I asked if he was optimistic they'd get it done, stopped me before I could even finish the question: "No. No. No, it doesn't look good. They're nowhere near agreeing and they really needed to have this thing done last week."
He was referring to the need for an agreement not only to be posted for a fair amount of time and circulated to members of the hill but also, the numbers have to be crunched by the CBO. Anyone who's watched the bean counters on Capitol Hill knows that doesn't happen quickly.
Apparently, the public is well aware and super-skeptical of the super committee. A new survey I saw this morning showed roughly 80 percent of the American public lacks confidence that a deal can get done.
So the big question now: IF they can't reach an agreement on where to cut, will they find a way around the mandatory cuts they told us would have to take place as a motivator? Remember, Congress balked at the idea of about $800 billion in cuts this summer to benefit programs and overhaul the tax code that would have effectively carried much of the weight. That's a deal President Obama and John Boehner seemed to agree on but were in the minority.
They may now rue passing up that offer. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock
It seems people may be more at ease in the live-free-or-die state of New Hampshire when it comes to Mitt Romney.He now holds a commanding lead in the GOP primary based on a Bloomberg News poll.
Romney 40%Paul 17%Gingrich 11%(all others at 10% or below)
"I've watched his career for years," one woman told Bloomberg News. "You kind of have to gravitate towards who you can be comfortable with."
While that sounds like a nice spot to bask in the sun a bit for the former Massachusetts governorhe himself, can't get to comfy.

Green Mountain Power fined more over Lowell WindThe Associated Press | February 07,2013LOWELL — Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations in its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
The utility had reached a settlement that included a $7,500 fine over the violations with the state Department of Public Service. Regulators on the Vermont Public Service Board accepted the settlement, but disagreed with the amount.
Board members said a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan, the Caledonian-Record reports.
The investigation into alleged violations began during Green Mountain Power's shipments across Vermont of parts to the Lowell wind project.
The board said the utility acknowledges that the proceeding reiterated the importance of flawless compliance.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The races might be new, but many of the faces are the same.

Comments about Grover-Trophy 10 Window Flip Folio Folder:
I am an Assistant Scout Master with the Boy Scouts of America. I teach bugling, bagpipes, and drums to the Scouts. I ntroduced the little device, along with the appropriate lyre, to the buglers. We shrank down the required bugle calls, for for memorizing and testing purposes, and placed them in the Flip Folio. They love being able to walk around and practice, without being ties to a heavy music stand. With less stuff to set-up and take-down each practice, it allows more time to play! It is a simple device, made of sturdy plastic. And the price is right!
As a quartermaster for a bagpipe band, I introduced this device, along with a clarinet lyre, as a solution for new students, and the experienced pipers as well to practice new music. The lyre attaches to the ring in the blowpipe, just above the stocks. This, again, allows the musician to not be tied down to one place, but to wander and play, as pipers do.

Drucker commences drilling in the Gulf of Suez
The Board of Directors of Drucker Incorporated recently announced that drilling operations have commenced at the Hana Deep 1 location, on the joint venture's west Gharib block in Egypt. The Hana Field is currently producing approximately 1,200 barrels per day (bpd) of 26 degree API oil from the Miocene Kareem reservoir.
The site is the first of a planned three-well exploration program, to be drilled within the limits of the Hana Field but will explore the multi reservoir potential of the Rudeis Sand to a depth of approximately 7,000 feet, confirmed a press release.
The Hana-8 well, which was drilled in November 2000, was the first well to encounter the Rudeis formation and tested 1,000 bpd of 33 degree API oil in the Upper Rudeis reservoir. The Hana Deep-1 well will penetrate the same Upper Rudeis productive zone but updip from Hana-8 and will be deepened to also test the Lower Rudeis reservoir zones.
The second well, Hana South-1, will be drilled to an approximate depth of 6,000 feet to test the Kareem and Upper Rudeis reservoirs in a structure immediately adjacent to the Hana Field. This structure is potentially a large extension of the main Hana structure. The well is expected to take three to four weeks to drill. The rig being used to drill the well is the 1,500 horsepowered Number ZJ45L of the Chinese Shengli Bohai Drilling Company. This rig has been booked for two confirmed wells and two optional wells.
Drucker is a Canadian based international petroleum resource company specializing in the exploration and development of oil and gas projects. Drucker has signed a farm-in agreement with Tanganyika Oil Company to earn a 20 percent working interest in their concessions in the Gulf of Suez Basin in Egypt by funding 40 percent of drilling the first couple of exploration wells and by funding 20 percent of all seismic, subsequent drilling, and other operating expenses to production. — (menareport.com)

Squirmy, the composting snake
A couple of months ago, after growing increasingly tired of the amount of food waste we were contributing to the landfills, I decided it was time to start composting in earnest. We've had a compost bin for several years, but never really knew what we were doing with it, nor did we take the time to figure it out. So I finally asked my friend Nicole, who's a master composter, what basic info I needed to get started, and I've been happily composting ever since. We've got a little friend who's taken a liking to our compost pile – Squirmy the snake. I've seen SquirmyRead More →

Brecht's original play is considered the greatest anti-war play ever written and one of the towering achievements of 20th Century drama. Marks's contemporary music, which mixes genres from rock to pop, imbues this superb drama about greed, hunger and the rapacity of conflict with a driving immediacy and explosive contemporary energy.

Couple of recent posts on the subject, but at 50+ it doesn't happen too often.
A few weeks back :
Very strong tailwind on a flat road with with regularly spaced speed bumps,
with a kerb gap that bikes can use not to slow down. Hit 28 mph on that
stretch of the route and passed everything going, including 3 vehicles.
Doing 25 mph+ behind a car at 50+ I'm sure confuses the
driver, but they have no idea about the wind conditions.
At 50+ chasing and then passing cars / vans on the speed bumps was fun.

"Sanford makes me smile....." Sanford by Pawtuxet
Sanford Travel Guide: 34 reviews and 58 photos
Sanford is located on Lake Monroe which was responsible for its early years as a shipping town. Goods can be moved through the region easily from this point and the St. John's River is a connector that contributes to its popularity. In today's world, it's also where the trains offload the cars which are shipped from the north for the snow birds. The old Navy base's airport has been transformed into an international airport which is little known...but if you don't mind a connecting flight, it's a whole lot easier to manage than the major city airports.
But all of that talks about the commercial success of Sanford....there are other things that make Sanford so loveable.
There is Spanish moss wafting lazily from the trees. Some streets have total arbors of it overhanging your drive through their old neighborhoods.
Lake Monroe is calming, mesmorizing and magnetic. The park which is on the main street of town (just after the business district) has been totally re-landscaped and provides an excellent spot for sunning, resting, or fishing. When I saw some of the older folks fishing there it was as if the same people had been there all those years since we first saw Sanford in the 60's. It's so much a part of Sanford.
I liked Sanford from the first moment we drove into town back in the early 1960's. We had military orders to Sanford Naval Air Station, I was very young with my 2nd baby and we were dirt poor. We lived 3 miles from a paved road in a rented house and my husband used to kid that he had to chase me out of the trees to cook supper. I just plain loved the place from the start. Still do. I literally feel better when I enter that town. I think all of us have that experience with certain places we visit.
We lived in Sanford for about a year and then had orders to San Diego, California. Over the years I've returned to watch the decline after the Navy base closed. Later they were listed on the National Historic Register, then some Federal money came in to fix up the streetscape and on this visit I was happy to see they have turned the corner in revitalization! Artists and antique shops have come into town along with lots of interesting shops and eateries. People have restored the business blocks and there are committed preservationists restoring the houses in the residential historic district. I congratulated everyone I spoke to.
If you are an artist or a preservationist...or even a fisherman...you will enjoy Sanford. She just keeps reincarnating herself over and over and continuing to survive, blossom and grow. Let me begin to show you some of my favorite things in Sanford.....
I'm not sure which part of Sanford I like the best. The waterfront does sort of draw me to it....but there are so many elements I find charming, friendly and comforting about Sanford.
- Pros:Small, historic, friendly, waterfront, great trees....
- Cons:so what's not to like?
- In a nutshell:Sanford makes me smile...I'll say it again.

Hi, Janet! Wonderful page, thanks a lot! ><><><><><
Hi Janet, interesting page on a place you obviously enjoyed!
I'm sure you return to memories of your family's earliest years often---it's nice to relive those days! Why do children have to grow up so fast!?!?
I lived in Sanford when I 1st moved to Fla. Its now officially part of Orlando, stretches from Lake Monroe to the mall at I-4,has tripled in population(and traffic) and stretches down rt17-92 to Lake Mary. Its a big place now. Mike
Looks like a lovely place to live in. I wouldn't like to cross the bike and the gator though :)
Lots of great old memories here. I love the spreading live oaks draped with Spanish moss. The New Tribes Mission is interesting.
Never heard of this place before your lovely page Janet :) Delightful, thank you!
Janet, this is just a delightful page. I really like how you captured your feelings for it; it kind of reminds me of my hometown. I wonder how it is to retire there??

HoM® Energy Manager
Our HōM® Energy Manager allows you to control your home's energy use from anywhere, anytime.
Benefits include:
- Automated thermostat setup. Just answer a few simple questions. No programming required.
- Personalized feedback and tips, tailored just for you.
- Insightful recommendations based on your energy use, thermostat settings and more.
- Simple thermostat management. Anytime, anywhere.
Energy Conservation Events
With HōM® Energy Manager, your thermostat will be part of up to 10 energy conservation events each year. During periods of high demand, we will signal your air conditioner to automatically reduce the energy it uses - a process called cycling. You are able to choose your level of cycling and will receive notifications before each event. See details below and select the option that works best for you.
Conservation Level
|Yearly Fee
(per thermostat)
|50% Cycling
|Best for your comfort
|75% Cycling
|Better for your budget
|100% Cycling
|Best for your budget
When do energy conservation events occur?
These events occur on up to 10 hot summer days. Typically events coincide with the hottest summer days or days when energy demand is at its peak. You will be sent notifications before any event occurs.
What does cycling mean?
Your AC compressor cycles on and off periodically at the level you have selected. Your circulating fans will continue running during conservation periods and provide comfort. Expect a temperature increase of anywhere from 1 to 7 degrees depending on the level you have chosen.
Why do these energy conservation events occur?
These events help the community use less energy during times of high demand, such as hot summer afternoons. This in turn helps protect the environment and keep energy costs lower.

Can E-Mail Be Saved from 'Spam'? (Familiar Problem, New Technology)
Merline, John, Consumers' Research Magazine
Just about anyone who uses a computer these days knows that spam doesn't just refer to a brand of canned meat anymore. Once marketers realized they could cheaply and easily promote their products through e-mail messages, unsolicited junk e-mail--dubbed spare--started to explode. For those with e-mail accounts today, that means wading through and deleting piles of junk e-mail pitches for everything from low-interest mortgages to herbal supplements. Also spam soon may be coming in the form of text messages to a cell phone or pager near you. Both cell phones and pagers are being targeted by spammers, with unwanted junk mail accounting for almost 10% of the I billion text messages sent last December, according to a recent USA Today article. In Japan, junk mail on mobile phones is already a scourge, with some getting up to 30 spam messages a day, and paying for it, since cell phone companies typically charge for each text message received.
The avalanche of spam may be good for marketers who find it a cheap way to reach millions of potential customers. The only real cost to the marketer is the nominal one of gathering up e-mail addresses. Marketers can buy lists of about a million e-mail addresses for as little as $500.
Unlike regular mail, e-mail doesn't cost anything to send, beyond the monthly service fee for Internet access. And companies like Microsoft and Yahoo offer free e-mail accounts to anyone with access to the Web. So moderate e-mail users pay the same monthly rate as aggressive e-mail users.
But spam is becoming a decidedly costly annoyance to most e-mail users who receive it. And if recent trends continue, it will become an unbearable problem within a few years, if not months. Just since 2001, spam e-mail messages have grown from 7% of all e-mail sent to an estimated 51%, according to Brightmail, which tracks this trend. To get an idea of how massive the spamming industry has become, consider that America Online, the most popular online service provider, blocked an astonishing 2.4 billion pieces of spam in a single day.
Spam's Cost
Not surprisingly, consumers are getting increasingly agitated about spam. A USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll taken in April found that two-thirds said they get "a lot" of spam. That compares with 37% who said so three years ago. Consumers pay more in terms of time and frustration spent deleting unwanted e-mail. But they also pay in dollar terms. Spam now costs American businesses $10 billion a year--costs that eventually get translated into higher product prices. Consumers also pay about $2 a month in higher bills for Internet service. Because spam is eating up so much of the Internet traffic capacity, ISPs are forced to increase their capacity to transmit and receive data so they can handle the flood of junk e-mail without adversely affecting their customers' Internet needs.
There are other costs to consumers. Much of the spam consumers receive is deceptive. According to the Federal Trade Commission, two-thirds of the spam messages it examined in a recent sampling contained false information. The false information ranged from phony return addresses to misleading subject lines to false claims in the text of the message. Spam may contain computer viruses, which can render all or parts of a computer unworkable when unleashed. And spam can be used to gather information surreptitiously about the recipient.
Spam is also making it harder for legitimate businesses to reach their own customers, who in slogging through their daily spam pile are more likely to delete any commercial e-mail messages, even those from firms with which they have a business relationship. Worse, e-mail itself as a communication tool is being harmed. Imagine if every time you picked up the phone to make a call you first had to listen and delete dozens of commercial messages. Consumers would likely grow increasingly reluctant to use their phones at all.
Finding Solutions
While the size and scope of the spam problem is obvious, workable solutions are much harder to come by. …

A desire to prove she's among the nation's premier collegiate sprinters has placed Katie Wise 1,200 miles from her everyday surroundings.
Yet to Wise, a sophomore member of the Indiana State University women's track and field program, a certain familiarity exists in pushing one's body to its absolute limits over any of three distances — 60, 100 or 200 meters.
Wise is in Albuquerque, N.M., awaiting the start of the NCAA Indoor Championships scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The former Indian Creek High School standout is one of 16 Division I athletes who qualified in the 60-meter dash.
This is Wise's first trip to this country's 47th state, and she's looking to make it memorable.
"I really like the 60 indoor, and I'm in better shape now than I've ever been," said Wise, who qualified this month after taking first at the Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Championships in a time of 7.30 seconds.
"I want to PR (personal record). That's my main focus. I want to make it to finals, but I'll be satisfied if I PR."
Wise's time ranks her 13th of this weekend's 16 qualifiers. Kentucky junior Dezerea Bryant and Oregon freshman Jasmine Todd are 1-2 with respective fast times of 7.16 and 7.20 seconds.
Wise is one of seven individual female qualifiers from an Indiana college taking part in the championships at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
Others are three shot-putters, Mary Theisen of Indiana State, Kyla Buckley of Indiana and Dani Bunch of Purdue; Butler's Mara Olson in the 3,000-meter run; Notre Dame's Jade Barber in the 60 hurdles; and Purdue's Cierra Brown in the triple jump.
Wise is coming off a freshman indoor season in which she won the MVC Indoors in the 60 in 7.51 seconds and ran a then-personal-best 7.42 at the Grand Valley State Big Meet. In the 200, her 24.78 stands third all-time in program history.
She followed these accomplishments with an outstanding outdoor season, placing 21st at the NCAA Finals in the 100-meter dash in 11.48 seconds. Wise's 11.33 from earlier in the season is third-fastest in Indiana State history, while her personal-best of 23.92 in the 200-meter dash is fifth-fastest.
Wise was a lightning bolt out of the blocks in high school, qualifying for the state finals all four years in the 100 and 200 and winning the 100-meter dash as a junior.
She's faster now.
For sake of comparison, Wise's championship time in the 2011 finals was 11.91 seconds. That same season she took third in the 200 in 24.50.
Always being the fastest kid growing up might have lulled her into a false sense of security during her freshman indoor and outdoor seasons in an Indiana State uniform. However, she quickly discovered the work required to take her talents to another level.
"Katie doesn't like to lose; and once she got to (the outdoor) nationals last season, she found out where she was and worked much harder in practice," said Michael Roberts, who coaches sprinters for the Indiana State men's and women's programs.
"This season she's been very, very consistent with her times and with her training."
The Sycamores' 2014 indoor season started in December with a dual meet at Eastern Illinois. Among the ensuing stops were Wisconsin's Badger Invitational, in which Wise won the 60 in 7.52 seconds; her runner-up at the Indiana Relays in 7.48; and victories in the 60 and 200 at the Air Force Quadrangular in Colorado Springs, Colo.
This weekend punctuates her indoor season. Wise will run the 100- and 200-meter dashes and anchor the Sycamores' 400 relay effort once the outdoor season begins March 28 at the Cornell Spring Classic Invitational hosted by Southern Illinois University.
"We lift two to three different days a week, and we condition for eight weeks," Wise said of her regimen. "It's just different training than in high school."
Wise admits experiencing the occasional homesickness. She misses family and friends in Johnson County and wishes they could attend her meets the way they did when she was at Indian Creek.
Attempting to prove you're one of the best at what you do carries a price that Wise is willing to pay.
"Katie has never seen any of the girls she's running against this weekend, but if you keep her positive she always performs well," Roberts said. "She doesn't like to lose. ... I'm just going to let her handle her business."

Many new bikes around here... here's mine!
Many new bikes around here... here's mine!
nice bike tuz....slick fenders...
yo this article pisses me off...its so expensive to incorporate bicycles with transit...
we should just give up and all drive...yay!
very nice job tuz. nice clean lines and great colour choice.
Thanks! It's a sweet bike so far. With fenders (now w. flaps and rear light mounted) and Brooks, it's 24lbs. And the fork is pretty wicked: it's bend only near the bottom and has generous rake.
24 pounds? Not bad at all.
I rode CanadaWide for Cancer in 2006! I rode 6850km and raised over $110 000 for kids with cancer. Check out the journal at: http://www.cyclingforcancer.ca
Big thanks to Krusty. Bikes all put away nicely and the seatpost is perfect. Wicked bar and stem too.
When sadness fills my days
It's time to turn away
And then tomorrow's dreams
Become reality to me
New Norco catalog today... 10 sp mountain bike components! *rolleyes* get your gold card out if you want to be the first! 11-36 yo!
Also, the 3sp sturmey fixed gear is out too. For about half the price of the 10sp mtb cassette alone.
I saw a nice Norco single-speed with the belt-drive system and disc-brakes in the old catalogue and I figured it would be a perfect winter bike, it even had tabs for fenders. But damn, it was like $1200 or something nutty like that. I guess the prices for the belt-drive stuff will come down a bit once they gain in popularity but for now, they seem pretty high...
The only obvious loser in the belt-drive category has to be that Trek Madone CF SS monstrosity.
This is the one I was thinking of, the MSRP is 1175$USD but I am sure you could get it for a bit lower than that.
I'd love one of those 12lbs Madone SS belt-drive bikes with a 47X15 setup, I'd never need another bike ever again...
i don't see the need for a belt drive on that norco. how much maintenance can a bike like that with a chain instead of a belt really be?
almost build time, so close
i could see wanting a belt on a motorcycle, from what i hear the chains on those are a pain in the butt, but a bike chain is fairly light and easy to maintain
you also have a lot more options with a bike chain, you don't need to get a new chain whenever you change your gear ratio
seems like more of a novelty than anything
Y to ISIS
easton vuelta wheels, 3T bar and stem, just need a few more pieces.
Hey does anyone know who makes that modular/snap together cable guide system?
that's the one holy ship that stuff is expensive!!!! .. ok maybe later for that stuff!

The mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, one of the most ancient and evolutionarily conserved signaling pathways, is involved in many processes of immune responses. The MAP kinases cascade transduces signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus in response to a wide range of stimuli (Chang and Karin, 2001; Johnson et al, 2002).
There are three major groups of MAP kinases
ERK1 and ERK2 are activated in response to growth stimuli. Both JNKs and p38-MAPK are activated in response to a variety of cellular and environmental stresses. The MAP kinases are activated by dual phosphorylation of Thr and Tyr within the tripeptide motif Thr-Xaa-Tyr. The sequence of this tripeptide motif is different in each group of MAP kinases: ERK (Thr-Glu-Tyr); p38 (Thr-Gly-Tyr); and JNK (Thr-Pro-Tyr).
MAPK activation is mediated by signal transduction in the conserved three-tiered kinase cascade: MAPKKKK (MAP4K or MKKKK or MAPKKK Kinase) activates the MAPKKK. The MAPKKKs then phosphorylates a dual-specificity protein kinase MAPKK, which in turn phosphorylates the MAPK.
The dual specificity MAP kinase kinases (MAPKK or MKK) differ for each group of MAPK. The ERK MAP kinases are activated by the MKK1 and MKK2; the p38 MAP kinases are activated by MKK3, MKK4, and MKK6; and the JNK pathway is activated by MKK4 and MKK7. The ability of MAP kinase kinases (MKKs, or MEKs) to recognize their cognate MAPKs is facilitated by a short docking motif (the D-site) in the MKK N-terminus, which binds to a complementary region on the MAPK. MAPKs then recognize many of their targets using the same strategy, because many MAPK substrates also contain D-sites.
The upstream signaling events in the TLR cascade that initiate and mediate the ERK signaling pathway remain unclear.

the papaya in this does promote a mild exfoliatation. Bio elemants are fragrance free, which is great for my sensitve skin. plus they dont test on animals. I would recomend this only once a day if you have sensitve skin due to the exfoliation. That is what worlks best for me. I use the moisture postive in the morning.
Apply 1 pump to wet skin and massage over face and neck. Rinse.

When you shift into any gear drive or reverse the is a slight bump when transmission engages. Well when I shift into reverse I get the normal bump then a 2nd bump. I am thinking maybe there is wear or end play in the CV joint. Does that seem possible I also get a click now and then from that area. There is also a noticeable vibration if you brake to slow down around 75 mph.

Wavells.125 United Kingdom
After a long flight the driver was ready and waiting Made the journey into Sydney easy and relaxed. Would recommend this service to anyone aft a long haul trip.
This tour was amazing!
the driver was so friendly and very helpful the car was very clean and comfortable very enjoyable ride into the city thanks viator
First class service. Would recommend and use again.
On time and very friendly
This started out our holiday in a perfect manner. There were so many people going in every direction when we exited the airport. Then we saw a person who was holding our name. He took our suitcases to a very clean modern new car. He quickly got us to our hotel.
Absolutely great. Will use your service again next year. The chauffeur was waiting at the bottom of the escalator when we arrived off our plane and directed us to the baggage collection point, loaded our bags into the car for us. He was very friendly, polite and informative.
Will definitely be rebooking next year.
Driver was on time and professional. Great relaxing way to start our holiday.
Professional, clean, newer car and ON TIME!!!
An excellent idea when arriving in any city late at night.
Ann p Australia
We were late on arrival the driver waited nearly 45 mins. He was very polite and helpful with all the luggage as one off the passenger had limited mobility.
Easy to deal with
Excellent assistance given by driver Friendly service.
Liz 5 Star United Kingdom
The service was brilliant, the driver was waiting when we arrived. Perhaps a bit of an intoduction to Sydney and conversation during the drive would of been welcome. The driver was concerned when we arrived at our destination and there was nobody there to meet us,especially as it was quite late in the evening.....that was really appreciative. We would definately recommend the service especially after a long haul flight and would use the service on another trip. Xx Liz
Excellent what more can we say
Moira C United Kingdom
Just what we needed after a long flight a lovely smiling man waiting for us to take our cases . Excellent service
Driver waiting inside airport with sign, easy to locate. Professional and pleasant driver, Mercedes Benz sedan right outside airport, goal was to leave airport quickly for Opera House show. ACCOMPLISHED!!
Totally 100% rating. No hesitation in using again.
Our driver was waiting for us holding a sign with our name as we arrived in the Sydney airport. He helped us with the luggage, walked us to the car, and then loaded our luggage. The car was clean, the ride was pleasant, and we safely arrived at the hotel. A great experience.
So good to be greeted by a smiling face and not having to queue for a taxi. Will almost certainly book for the return flight.
Like clock work, and the driver was very informative and helpful.
An excellent service highly recommended, we missed our connecting flight in Dubai which then made us 8 hours delayed, one phone call and all sorted, arranged to pick us up at new time which was early hours on a Sunday morning.

The Entrepreneur's Corner
Social media starting points
I am astounded by how many businesses today, both small and large, underutilize social networking sites such as Linkedin, Facebook and Twitter. While these sites get so much traffic, many entrepreneurs, business people and companies feel social networking is not important enough for them to engage in.
While the media hypes the millions of people on these social networks, many small businesses say their focus is on the customer base in their community. Still, the numbers still range in hundreds of thousands.
We have seen clients get customers, grow their business, and even get a quarter of a million dollar investment from a college buddy they haven't talked to in 20 years!
Here are some significant facts beyond the number of users: the average social user has 195 friends; 77 percent of internet users read blogs; the typical Linkedin user is 41 years of age with $110K income; more than a third of the 190 million Twitter account users access via their mobile phone; the average Facebook user spends more than 7 hours a month on the site, which was the most-visited website in the U.S. last year, beating out Google. (Facts from Nielsen, Quantcast, Tech Crunch and Online Media Gazette)
Did you know 78 percent of consumers trust peer recommendations?
What does this mean to a business? Your friends and customers are online and engaging. If the best marketing is word-of-mouth, then online social networks are word-of-mouth on steroids.
Here are some simple ways to get started.
1. Start a blog – Blogs are simple to create these days. Blogger, Typepad and Wordpress are popular free sites to start with. Start with tips and how-to's. Avoid directly selling. If you have good content, readers will comment and engage you.
2. Sign up on Linkedin – Invite your trusted relationships, both past and present. Give recommendations to others, and often your customers and colleagues will reciprocate. This is the online office place. Keep it professional.
3. Create a Facebook Business Page – It is always a good idea to be social here. If Linkedin is the office, then Facebook is more of the backyard BBQ. Mention ties to the community, post relevant articles to your industry, clients and engage your fans. More than any other social network, direct selling is really frown upon. Think of the guy who comes to a BBQ passing out their business card as they introduce themselves.
If all else fails, remember! it's about building relationships. If you wouldn't say it offline, you may reconsider about saying it online. How would you conduct yourself at the office, BBQ or convention?

Regional wave propagation in Turkey and surrounding regions

Gok, R.; Turkelli, N.; Sandvol, E.; Seber, D.; Barazangi, M.
Digital and analog seismic waveform data collected by 34 stations in and around Turkey provided excellent ray coverage for a detailed attenuation study of regional shear waves (Sn and Lg). Over 2000 seismograms within a distance range of 15 degrees were visually inspected and the quality of Sn and Lg phases categorized into three different classes: efficient, inefficient, or not present. Our results show that Sn and Lg propagation is mostly inefficient in western Turkey and the Aegean Sea. Sn is efficient in parts of southwestern Turkey, the western Pontides, and western Greece. Sn is not observed in eastern Turkey and along the Aegean volcanic arc. Lg propagates efficiently in the Arabian plate including paths that cross the Dead Sea fault zone and in northwestern Turkey. Lg does not propagation in northeast Anatolia, across the Lesser Caucasus, and north of the Hellenic arc (Sea of Crete). These results are a major improvement on prior attenuation studies in this region and provide new constraints for proposed tectonic models.

Wordnik swagger implementation for the express framework with a before filter add-on to controllers
This is the Wordnik Swagger code for the express framework. For more on Swagger, please visit http://swagger.wordnik.com. For more on express, please visit https://github.com/visionmedia/express
The main motivation behind this module, is that I needed to do validations that might affect the flow of a request agains MongoDB. These vaildations had to be of async nature, but the valdiator describe below doens't accept this type of function, so in order to make it work I forked and extended Swagger-Node-Express.
There is also a pull request awaiting approval on the official Github repo.
See below for a code sample of how the before function is defined.
See the swagger website or the swagger-core wiki, which contains information about the swagger json spec.
Try a sample! The source for a functional sample is available on github:
Include swagger.js in your app and add express as the app handler:
var express = require"express" url = require"url" swagger = require"swagger-node-express"; var app = express;appuseexpressbodyParser; swaggersetAppHandlerapp;
You can optionally add a validator function, which is used to filter the swagger json and request operations:
// This is a sample validator. It simply says that for _all_ POST, DELETE, PUT methods, // the header api_key OR query param api_key must be equal to the string literal // special-key. All other HTTP ops are A-OK */ swaggeraddValidator // example, only allow POST for api_key="special-key" if "POST" == httpMethod || "DELETE" == httpMethod || "PUT" == httpMethod var apiKey = reqheaders"api_key"; if !apiKey apiKey = urlparserequrltruequery"api_key"; if "special-key" == apiKey return true; return false; return true; ;
You now add models to the swagger context. Models are described in a JSON format, per the swagger model specification. Most folks keep them in a separate file (see here for an example), or you can add them as such:
Next, add some resources. Each resource contains a swagger spec as well as the action to execute when called. The spec contains enough to describe the method, and adding the resource will do the rest. For example:
var findById = 'spec': "description" : "Operations about pets" "path" : "/pet.{format}/{petId}" "notes" : "Returns a pet based on ID" "summary" : "Find pet by ID" "method": "GET" "params" : swaggerpathParam"petId" "ID of pet that needs to be fetched" "string" "responseClass" : "Pet" "errorResponses" : swaggererrorsinvalid'id' swaggererrorsnotFound'pet' "nickname" : "getPetById" 'before': funtionreq res action //Separates validation from the main action code. if !reqparamspetId //Usefull when validation requires async callbacks. throw swaggererrorsinvalid'id'; else actionreq res; //now we call the action var id = parseIntreqparamspetId; var pet = petDatagetPetByIdid; ifpet ressendJSONstringifypet; else throw swaggererrorsnotFound'pet'; ; swaggeraddGetfindById;
Adds an API route to express and provides all the necessary information to swagger.
Finally, configure swagger with a
public URL and version:
swaggerconfigure"http://petstore.swagger.wordnik.com" "0.1";
and the server can be started:
Now you can open up a swagger-ui and browse your API, generate a client with swagger-codegen, and be happy.
If you don't like the .{format} or .json suffix, you can override this before configuring swagger:
swaggerconfigureSwaggerPaths"" "/api-docs" "";
That will put the resource listing under
/api-docs, and ditch the
.{format} on each of the apis you're adding to. Make sure to set the paths correctly in your spec configuration though, like such:
// note the .{format} is removed from the path! var findById = 'spec': "description" : "Operations about pets" "path" : "/pet/{petId}" "notes" : "Returns a pet based on ID"
To add a subpath to the api (i.e. list your REST api under
/api or
/v1), you can configure express as follows:
var app = express;var subpath = express; appuseexpressbodyParser;appuse"/v1" subpath; swaggersetAppHandlersubpath;
Now swagger and all apis configured through it will live under the
/v1 path (i.e.
If you want to modify the default headers sent with every swagger-managed method, you can do so as follows:
swaggersetHeaders = resheader'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' "*"; resheader"Access-Control-Allow-Methods" "GET, POST, DELETE, PUT"; resheader"Access-Control-Allow-Headers" "Content-Type, X-API-KEY"; resheader"Content-Type" "application/json; charset=utf-8";;
If you have a special name for an api key (such as
X-API-KEY, per above), this is where you can inject it.

I thought that the July meeting was very interesting. It taught me the importance of humility and humbleness, should I become a successful writer. It taught me to be civil, and not to talk down to an audience. It taught me not to by cynical of success, that it is a learning process and one that is built upon with each small step forward. It taught me to be all of the things the speaker was not.

Thank you for allowing my wife and I to attend your July meeting and mention my book signing at the Henderson Barnes & Noble on Saturday, July 28, 2012! The meeting was a lot of fun and we met lots of very nice folks. The presentation was EXCELLENT and very timely. We do a little multimedia now but Kris convinced us to rethink our strategy.

For members who either have had, are having or considering having an MVD! Somewhere where those having had MVD's can share their experiences with those who are considering getting this done.
Location: subject-specific group
Members: 370
Latest Activity: Apr 18
Microvascular Decompression (MVD) is a surgical procedure that relieves abnormal compression of a cranial nerve. It is performed to treat trigeminal neuralgia, vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia, and hemifacial spasm. These conditions are often caused by an artery or vein compressing the nerve root as it leaves the brainstem. When compressed, normal nerve impulses can recruit nearby nerve fibers and send faulty messages. Medications often provide relief to patients with these conditions, but when medications become ineffective or cause serious side effects, one treatment option is MVD.
What is MVD?
MVD is a surgical procedure to relieve the symptoms (pain, muscle twitching) caused by compression of a nerve by an artery or vein. MVD involves surgically opening the skull (craniotomy) and exposing the nerve at the base of the brainstem to insert a tiny sponge between the compressing vessel and the nerve. This sponge isolates the nerve from the pulsating effect and pressure of the blood vessel.
Trigeminal neuralgia is an irritation of the fifth cranial nerve causing severe pain that usually affects one side of the face, normally in the forehead, cheek, jaw, or teeth (Fig. 1). To treat trigeminal neuralgia, a sponge is placed between the trigeminal nerve and the superior cerebellar artery or a branch of the petrosal vein. By removing the compression, the painful symptoms are relieved.
Who is a candidate for MVD?
You may be a candidate for MVD if you have:
* trigeminal neuralgia that is not well controlled with medication and you desire minimal to no facial numbness that may be associated with other treatments such as percutaneous stereotactic radiofrequency rhizotomy (PSR) or glycerol injection
* facial pain isolated in the ophthalmic division or in all three trigeminal divisions
* facial pain recurrence after a previous percutaneous or radiosurgery procedure
Because MVD involves the use of general anesthesia and brain surgery, patients with other medical conditions or who are in poor health may not be candidates. MVD is not successful in treating facial pain caused by multiple sclerosis. Because of the low risk of hearing loss, MVD may not be suitable for patients who have hearing loss in the other ear.
MVD Surgical Risks:
- Surgical Wound Infection with Lasting Pain, including menengitis.
- Cerebral Spinal Fluid Leaks
- Anesthesia Dolorosa -- burning pain underlying facial tactile numbness
- Parasthesia -- an itchy, crawly sensation combined with surface numbness
- Facial Numbness -- loss of sensation without other sensory effects
- Partial Facial Paralysis
· Loss of Hearing (rare, and only with MVD)
· Loss of the Tearing Reflex of the Eye, with a Risk of Ulceration to the Cornea (also MVD)
· Surgical Adhesions and Arachnoiditis
· Central Nervous System Fluid Leak (rare, and only with MVD)
· Differentiation Pain (caused by surgical interruption of connections between peripheral nerve endings and the central nervous system).
Imagery of MVD:
The following YouTube link provides an unusually clear and well explained description of what is done in a complex MVD for Geniculate Neuralgia and face pain. Though graphic in detail, it offers one of the better descriptions for what actually occurs in MVD, and how small a place this area near the brain stem actually is, to work. [R.A.L.]

Has anyone had any experience with Dr William Freidman in Gainesville Florida?
Thanks Red,
I don't think I explain it correctly.
The shingles actually showed up at the end of May and I am the end phase of the illness. We did agree that we would wait until the illness finished it's cycle before surgery.
Oh, I do have the rash. On my face and in my mouth. The nerve fiber along the jaw. It's a mild rash as far as shingles go but bad enough for people to stay far away. I can already tell which parts I'm going to have scars on. I have the larger blisters and the very tiny blisters you can't see. But also had the scraping to confirm so that I could get enough pain meds to last me through the illness. And you do need them.
From what I read. They can't really decide if you have post herpetic neuralgia until months after the rash goes away. This is the only time I've only had shingles so there is no reason (please!) to think that I would have it (I am so hoping that this is just a strange occurrence).
It does make me think though, since the virus has decided to activate on the trigeminal nerve. Is it because it's damaged in someway? Irritated at the base, not just on the branch where I am having neuralgia but on the other branches as well and virus just took the path of least resistance. Where my body was the weakest? I really don't want to have a paper written on me.
Tkal, I wish you well with the MVD surgery. I'm a little surprised that a neurosurgeon would do one while you have active Herpes Zoster virus in your bloodstream. You might be dealing with a combination of trigeminal neuralgia and post herpetic neuralgia. Did you have any evident rash anywhere?
On preparation and post-op: you'll be given a mess of paperwork to fill out before admission. You'll also need to fast for some period of hours before the surgery. There will be post-op pain in the incision and generally behind your ear. You'll be medicated for that pain and you could be sleepy and groggy. You can expect to be in a hospital for three days or so if there are no complications such as a CSF fluid leak. And you'll want to ask the doctor what follow-up he will do immediately post-op and during your stay, to ensure that you don't have such complications.
When you get home, your recovery time without complications can vary from a couple of weeks to six weeks or longer. No real way to tell, but you'll need to plan for family support at home, or an alternative if you don't have someone to do meals and generally check up on you. Many MVD patients report walking out of the hospital pain free, but that isn't universal. It can take up to six months for the nerve to settle down once it has been manipulated during the exploration phase of the surgery. Be aware that even if no compressions were seen in MRI, they are found in almost all patients who have the electric shock stab attacks of classic TN.
I hope this is at least generally helpful. I encourage others who have had MVD to share their experiences.
Regards, Red
After 3 years on different meds I finally got a consult with a neurosurgeon (I have Kaiser insurance). That was two weeks ago. I did my homework, I was ready to argue my case. Etc. He came in, we made introductions. I started with. "I want a MVD. I need a MVD." He smiled. "Well, that makes our conversation a lot shorter because I think that's the way to go in your case too." That was it.
He answered all my questions and told me about his patients that had problems after he performed their surgeries etc.
There was only one problem, not really for my surgery which is scheduled for the first week in July, but for me. I actually got and have shingles on my face, on the side where my TN is now. It's on a different branch. But it has triggered two attacks in the last two weeks.
The surgeon had never heard of it ever happening. Why I would get shingles on the same trigeminal nerve. If it had been on the same branch, I probably would be in a coma right now.
If I had any doubts about MVD I don't anymore.
Anyway. I'm 47 probably have had TN for about 6 years. Lots of dental work due to pain that wasn't the teeth. My MRI came back clean. The surgeon didn't even comment about that. Told him I was concerned that some surgeons don't look at the entire nerve and miss small compressions if they just find one big one. He was kind, and assured me he always carefully looks at the entire nerve. But there is always the possibility he could have to go back in.
I'm trying to find information on how to prepare for before and after MVD. Paperwork? Tips? What not to do? What kind of pain, headaches, etc are normal? I'll start looking at older posts. But any info would be appreciated. I also have Medicare - hospitalization part.

Tommy Dreamer at house shows
Some further details have been revealed about the contract that Tommy Dreamer signed with WWE recently. The deal is a bit more extensive than initially thought. Not only is he working television and TLC, Dreamer has also been booked for house shows through December. Some believe that he might even stick around and work through the Royal Rumble pay per view in January.

Justin Roberts to House of Hardcore
If Tommy Dreamer wanted an upgrade for announcer, then he might take a look at Justin Roberts. He still has passion for professional wrestling. Roberts only left WWE because he had grown disenchanted with some of the things that the front office was doing behind the scenes. Otherwise, he would have remained in the industry. House of Hardcore could benefit by bringing in another familiar voice and face for television.
April 16, 2015
Jim Ross to House of Hardcore
Since he happens to be the most popular professional wrestling commentator of all time, Jim Ross is a candidate for every opening in any promotion across the world. House of Hardcore is no exception. You can expect Tommy Dreamer to place a call to Ross now that he has a television deal that will enable his promotion to be seen in several countries across the globe. Earlier in the week, Ross stated that he had an interesting deal on the table.

While it is way too early for anything to be finalized, the speculation is that Taz is indeed a candidate to become one of the commentators for House of Hardcore now that Tommy Dreamer has managed to pull off an international television deal for his promotion. No word yet on if he has a non compete clause with TNA, but Dreamer works for the company, so he might be able to convince the front office to let the move happen.

Since he has proven himself to be one of the best promoters in professional wrestling, there is a lot of faith in Tommy Dreamer and his abilities. He recently teased through social media that there is a big announcement coming for House of Hardcore. The ECW legend stated that he is waiting for contracts to be finalized. With his track record, it would not come as a shock to anyone if he were able to secure a television deal for his events.

Tommy Dreamer backstage
Prior to them signing a television contract with Destination America, there were a lot of question marks surrounding the TNA personnel. There were some speculations that Tommy Dreamer was not going to be returning to the promotion once they returned to the air due to potential backstage heat. However, those rumors were dispelled last night, as the ECW legend was working as an agent during the debut episode of Impact Wrestling.
