Earlier this summer, OtterBox announced their first entry into the smartphone battery charging case arena with the Resurgence series for iPhone 5 and 5s. The OtterBox Resurgence is a high-speed charging iPhone case with a 2,000 mAh battery and "military spec. drop protection", according to OtterBox. Naturally, being an OtterBox case, the Resurgence focuses heavily on protection and durability, but it also boasts a few interesting battery features as well including high-speed and auto-stop charging. Below I'll unpack how the OtterBox Resurgence case for iPhone measures up as a battery charging case against similar offerings from Mophie and the like… expand full story

iPhone 5s case November 18, 2013
While I may be known for my addiction to all things anodised aluminum, I also have a love of natural materials, wood and leather especially. My MacBook Pro and MacBook Air both travel in BookBook leather cases (reviewed here by Jordan), so when Studio Credence announced a book-style case for the iPad, I decided to take a look.
First impressions
Studio Credence is clearly going for a bit of a rustic look. The packaging is undyed cardboard, with the case itself in a muslin-type drawstring bag. Open this, and what you have inside is a very similar approach to the BookBook range … expand full story
iPhone 5s case September 11, 2013
A small surprise yesterday during Apple's introduction of the new iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s was the launch of new cases for the devices. The iPhone 5s gets a new leather case in six colors, and the 5c gets colourful silicone cases with small circular cutouts meant to show off the iPhone's color underneath. The silicone 5c cases don't seem to be getting the best response following yesterday's unveiling, but the good news is there are already several reputable case manufacturers with cases available for both the iPhone 5c and 5s.
The biggest complaint (apart from comparisons to crocs) seems to be lack of attention to detail, highlighted best in the image of the "iPhone" text to the right. If Apple's new cases won't cut it, below we've put together a roundup of the best cases from around the web that are already available to order and coming soon for the launch of the device later this month. expand full story

In response to parhunter55's comment:
One of the reasons I always liked the idea of Ben getting two good starters is that he could then make Doubront available in a trade, perhaps for J. Upton. Ells, Bradley and Douby for Upton and a PTBNL might have actually been the start to a deal. Then we might have seen the Sox have both Sanchez and Upton, which I agree would have made them, if not instant contenders, at least a team worth the price of admission. But letting Haren go early, and for so little (in terms of total dollars and years commited), and not signing Sanchez BEFORE Grienke set the price (though I recognize that Ben may not have had any choice in the matter) makes your vision, unfortunately, highly unlikely.
Ive been saying this all winter.
1) We have the money to sign SPs that other teams do not.
2) Other teams need pitching as much as we do.
3) We sign 2 starters and trade a cheap pitcher or two (out of Doubie, Morales, Aceves, and Tazawa) along with some prospects for a low or lower-than-FA cost legitimat 3/4 slot hitter. I even have mentioned J upton almost as much as Brett Anderson.
WMB will suely be in any Upton discussion. Probably Doubront as well as a SS (maybe Bogaerts). They have plenty of OF help. They dont really need any.
They may take Doubront, Morales, Bogaerts, Cecchini and anyone over #10.
Thats a very big maybe...They'll want top 5 prospects. Still dont think they match up very good.
As i have said earlier, if they wanted Bradley, I'd make him part of the deal, but would try to take Bogaerts out of the offer.
However, if they insisted on Bradley and Bogaerts, I'd go with...
Bradley, Bogaerts, Cecchini and one of Doubront, Morales, Tazawa or Aceves.
I think this is a better than maybe offer.

IEA Calls for Strengthening Energy Efficiency Market [viewed]
8 October 2014: A market report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) confirms the role of energy efficiency as the "first fuel," with the global energy efficiency market currently worth US$310 billion or more. Emphasizing the role of energy efficiency in climate change mitigation efforts, the report stresses that while it is becoming an established market segment, efforts to strengthen financing for energy efficiency should be strengthened. The report also finds significant potential for energy efficiency in emerging economies, in particular in the transport sector.

In addition, at least one diagnostic electrode is carried in the sensor. The diagnostic electrode implements at least one diagnostic function without substantially impairing the gas sensing function. The diagnostic electrode is immersed in sensor electrolyte.
|Compensated Gas Detectors - A compensated gas detector incorporates first and second pellistors combined with first and second resistors and an intervening switch. Control circuits can close the switch for normal gas detection. The switch can be opened to carry out diagnostic measurements. A compensation coefficient can be established in order to compensate outs from the pellistors due to mechanical damage thereto.
|Gas Detector Having Bipolar Counter/Reference Electrode - A gas detector includes at least two electrodes. The electrodes are carried on a common substrate having first and second spaced apart surfaces. The electrodes are formed on respective ones of the surfaces with the substrate sandwiched therebetween.
|Low Water Vapour Transfer Coating of Thermoplastic Moulded Oxygen Gas Sensors - A gas sensor is disclosed. The gas sensor includes a gas sensing electrode and a counter electrode disposed within a housing, and respective conductors that connects the gas sensing electrode and the counter electrode to a sensing circuit. The housing includes walls defining a cavity containing electrolyte in fluid communication with the gas sensing electrode and counter electrode and wherein the walls further comprise one or more coatings or second layers superimposed on the walls. The one or more coatings or second layers have a lower water vapor transport rate than that of the walls, such that, in use, water vapor transport between the electrolyte and atmosphere through the walls of the housing is reduced.
|Vented Oxygen Cell - An electrochemical oxygen sensor is provided. The electrochemical sensor includes a housing having first and second compartments, a sensing electrode disposed within the first compartment of the housing, a consumable anode disposed within the second compartment of the housing, a porous separator between the sensing electrode and consumable electrode that separates the first and second compartments and an electrolyte saturating the porous separator and consumable anode. A first aperture on a first end of the housing extends between an outside surface of the housing and first compartment that allows gas access to the sensing electrode. A venting system on a second, opposing end of the housing includes a second aperture extending between the outside surface of the housing and second compartment and has a predetermined permeability that controls pressure in the second compartment and loss of moisture from the sensor.
|Electrochemical Oxygen Sensor with Internal Barrier to Oxygen Diffusion - An electrochemical sensor includes a micro-porous plastic membrane supported on a disk and located between a gas inflow port and an electrolyte having a gelled oxygen diffusion barrier. The oxygen diffusion barrier, formed of gelled agar, minimizes thermal shock effects by impregnating any porous materials in the sensor.
|SHEET METAL EXPLOSION-PROOF, AND FLAME-PROOF ENCLOSURES - An explosion retaining housing includes a sheet metal member or outer skin which at least in part forms an interior region of the housing. At least one structural element provides additional strength to the member to retain the explosion in the region. The structural element can be inside of, or, outside of the region. The structural element can have a plurality of components which cooperate together to resist the force of an explosion in the interior region.
|THERMALLY INSULATING CERAMIC SUBSTRATES FOR GAS SENSORS - A gas sensor includes a substrate having a low thermal conductivity. Localized heating can be produced using a serpentined heater carried by the substrate. The low thermal conductivity of the substrate substantially confines the generated heat to a region local to the heater thereby reducing required power to operate the sensor. Multiple sensing elements can be deposited onto the substrate adjacent to respective heaters and relatively close together because of the thermal isolation provided by the substrate. In one embodiment, the sensor can include the ceramic substrate, the heater, catalytic material overlying the heater with a gas impermeable layer overlying, at least in part the catalytic material.
|Electro-chemical Cell and Method of Providing Multiple Electrical Connections to a Lead Anode of an Electro-chemical Gas Sensing Cell - A lead wool electrode for an electro-chemical cell can be fused to a metallic collector to provide an electrical connection therebetween. Various methods of fusion such as thermal, electrical or chemical can be used.
|APPARATUS AND METHOD OF REGENERATING ELECTROCHEMICAL GAS SENSORS - A method of improving performance of electrochemical gas sensors includes cycling potentials applied to one or more of the electrodes of the respective sensor(s) to improve performance of a different electrode. In a process for treating a reference electrode, potentials can be applied to working and, or counter electrodes so as to modify the environment in the vicinity of the reference electrode. An apparatus can carry out the method automatically.
|Instrument Docking Station with Non-Destructive Sensor Analysis Capabilities - A docking station for use with gas sensors includes limited test and diagnostic circuitry directed to specific characteristics of selected detectors. Where a family of detectors is to be evaluated, a universal interface for that family can be included. A single port can be used for multiple different detectors irrespective of specific detector characteristics.
|ELECTROCHEMICAL GAS SENSOR - An electrochemical gas sensor has a hollow housing with multi-layer walls. A first layer of the walls has a selected water vapour transport rate. A second layer of the walls has a lower water vapour transport rate than the selected rate. The housing can be formed by first and second moulding processes.
|Gas Sensor - The present invention provides a unique solution to the problems of both steady-state and transient signals produced by a variety of interfering stimuli, including humidity, which relies upon the inclusion in a gas sensing electrode in an electrochemical gas sensor of a catalyst material, in addition to a first catalyst material reactive to the target gas, the additional, or second, catalyst material producing a response to an interfering stimulus which is of the opposite polarity to that generated by the first catalyst material.
|ELECTROCHEMICAL GAS SENSOR - An electrochemical gas sensor is disclosed which comprises a gas sensing electrode and a counter electrode disposed within a housing, the housing having an aperture for gas ingress, the gas sensing electrode and counter electrode being separated by a region containing electrolyte, and means for connecting the gas sensing electrode and the counter electrode to a sensing circuit. An electrolyte-absorbing element is disposed inboard of the aperture, between the housing and the gas sensing electrode, in order to absorb electrolyte passing through the gas sensing electrode whilst maintaining a gas path through the electrolyte-absorbing element.

No I mean, what if the default vehicle that roads were designed for was the bicycle?
Everybody says the roads we have are fine. But I think that they are designed too much around a single type of use. Got me thinking, what if the default use they designed them around was bicycling? How would people who drive have to adapt? They'd probably be the ones cowering at the side of the road, don't you think? I'll betcha there'd be lots less 4-way stops and a lot more roundabouts. Drivers would have to figure out how to take the lane -- or take two lanes in their case -- without being yelled at. Things would be different.

If roads were built at bicycle scale, many roads (assuming single bike-size lane in each direction) wouldn't even be useable by larger motor vehicles without causing opposing bike traffic to have to pull off the roadway. Motor vehicle traffic would be in a real bad situation. If roads were only built to withstand the weight of cyclists but saw motor vehicle use too, we'd all be riding full suspension mountain bikes in a few weeks.Originally Posted by sbhikes

Go take a look at the road system on Okinawa. I think it would be about like that. Granted their roads, particularly in residential areas, are built with cars in mind, but a lot of them are teeny-tiny cars, not much bigger than a Amercan golfcart.Originally Posted by sbhikes
Imagine residential roads that are not only one lane, but a narrow single lane.
What if roads were built for bicycles? Depends on who builds them!
If it were me, they would look fairly much like our current streets and highways, with the following differences:
– Lanes would be 1,5 to 2.0 m wide (5-6.5 ft), with good passing opportunities.
– More protection from the elements: trees not only enhance the scenery, but they protect from headwinds.
– There would be one or two car lanes per direction with 3,5-3,75 m (10-12 ft) lanes for trucks, cars that need to be there, etc. Basically cars and trucks would be required to use the expressways, except for the local portion of their trip (a bit like trucks usually have to do in many jurisdictions), so there would not be a flood of cars everywhere.
– There would not be situations with "right lane must turn right", freeway-style entrances and exits.
– Traffic lights are necessary and so are stops, but they would be required much less frequently.
– Route configuration depends on topography, but generally there would be more curves and less hills. Curves would have a reasonable radius so a tandem bicycle with trailer would easily negociate them at 30-35 km/h (faster downhill).
And the last ones (humour on...):
– Have motor vehicles stop each time they have to cross a bicycle lane. Even if they could merge safely otherwise. And at intersections, motor vehicles would arrive at an odd angle and have to stop for bicycles and pedestrians in all directions.
- Why not put bollards where motor-vehicle lanes cross the bicycle lanes. Car drivers would have to stop, remove the bollard, cross the intersection and re-install it afterwards. 200 $ fine.
– For difficult intersections, maybe we should ask people to stop their engine and push their motor vehicle through the intersection. Ditto for narrow passages.
Now if they were designed for bicycles by our current (motor)-transportation engineers, they would have:
– lots of tight curves – especially useless ones – with poor visibility, trees or lightposts in the way, etc.
– bollards everywhere, painted black so they are more effective (i.e. more roadkill).

I always thought that cars should be designed to be wide enough for a single person, with passengers behind the driver. Then we could have more lanes simply by making them narrower. If all the lanes were narrow, it would be easier for a bicycle to control a whole lane.
I think the balance of "power" would be more equal between motorcycles, bicycles and cars, too, since they'd be roughly the same width. Plus with so many lanes, they'd understand how to change lanes to pass a bicycle. Since most cars usually carry only a single passenger anyway, they should probably be that size.
So then the roads would have skinny lanes. You could have tiny roads in residential areas with wide green spaces for kids to play or people to landscape nicely. You'd have way more parking available at shopping centers, or less parking lots.
Maybe people wouldn't be so fat, too. I mean, you buy bigger pants and that gives you a license to overeat until you have to buy bigger pants next time. Seems to work the same for cars. Buy a bigger car and start shopping at the warehouse stores buying vats and cases of food. Even in my town full of skinny perfect people, just stand outside the big-box store and see how huge the people who shop there are. Then take a look at the size of the SUV they're putting all that junk into. Some seem to be outgrowing their SUVs, just like their pants.
Yep, I guess ol' JF is spinning in his, well he's not dead yet, but I'm sure he's foaming at the mouth at my obvious hatred of Amer'ca. I just think that saying the roads are just fine the way they are means you never gave any thought to how much they've been shaped to serve only one mode of transport. So if they were designed for another mode, how would the others have to learn to cope? As useful as vehicular cycling is, it really is a form of coping with a system not designed for us.

Speeds would be slower and the air would actually have a wonderful fragrance to it much of the time.
I'd probably still seek out alternate afternoon routes away from the bicycle traffic jams.
There would be businesses built around cycling, just like they are around motoring. Not just bike shops as we know them, but food and rest stops tailored to small trips, hotels, hostels, and B&B's centered around longer trips, more and better accomodation on transit such as air and rail, bike parking everywhere, huge bike accessory businesses, lots of bicycle racing and competetion, etc.

Hold on, I thought this exercise was just designing roads with bikes as the default vehicle. That doesn't mean that bikes are going to be any more popular. Do you think that just because road designers mainly have bikes on their mind will change the fact that the human species has evolved to be as lazy as possible (much like any other species)?

Roads are currently designed based on the speed limit - from sight lines, to signage, to grade and sharpness of turns. A system designed for bikes would be based on vehicles traveling no faster than 40km/hour (at least, that is the standard proposed locally). That means the roads would be difficult, if not impossible, to use at high speeds, effectively forcing motor vehicles to slow down.
A system designed primarily for bikes would also see less regional separation, more bridges/links at natural barriers (e.g. rivers), and fewer long detours around obstacles. Overall the system would also be more pedestrian-friendly.
Since the system would take far less surface area, main transportation corridors could be at least 50% more narrow, and we could eliminate 75% of parking lots. This space could be re-claimed as green-space, and/or zoned for mixed-use development - thus making more efficient use of municipal services and countering urban sprawl.

Ways to Save on Taxes All Year Round
by Kiplinger Feb 13th 2014 6:00AM
If you managed to claim every possible tax break that you deserved when you filed your return last spring, pat yourself on the back. But don't stop there. Here's why.
If you managed to claim every possible tax break that you deserved when you filed your return last spring, pat yourself on the back. But don't stop there. Here's why.
Don't just give your money away to an accountant. With all the tax software on the market today, it's easier than ever to keep your cash and file your own tax return.
2013 was a great year for many investors, but there's a downside. All those market gains may have left you with a lot more income to report.
Many of the most common tax-planning strategies used to accelerate income or defer deductions had to be implemented by Dec. 31, but others remain ripe for the picking.
Knowing what you're entitled to write off on your tax return might seem complex and mysterious, but it doesn't have to be. Here are five easy ways to pay fewer taxes.
Save on taxes with energy-efficient home improvements, caring for a parent, refinancing points, earned income tax credit and more.
Low- and moderate-income workers who save for retirement in 401(k)s and IRAs may be eligible for a tax credit worth as much as $2,000. How to claim the saver's credit.
Tax planning is hard even under the best of circumstances. But when you can't be sure what the tax laws will be in the year ahead, it becomes almost impossible.
Millions of us are looking forward to filing our taxes so we can get get our big, fat refunds. But why'd we give Uncle Sam such big interest-free loans in the first place?
As the year winds down, it's worth making sure that you are minimizing your 2013 tax bill.
Here are a half-dozen of the most widely-used tax breaks currently slated to vanish for 2014 -- unless Congress gets its act together.
April 15 may seem like a long way off, but with a little planning before the end of the year, you could take advantage of tax breaks to help you lower your tax bill.
Nearly 26 million low- and middle-income Americans could be eligible for health insurance subsidies next year, but most don't know it.
IRS over-refunds for the Earned Income Tax Credit are one of the bigger line items in the U.S. budget, but few politicians in either party are looking to fix the EITC problem.
If you're still in shock from the amount of taxes you just paid, start working now to reduce what you send the IRS next year. Here are five ways you can shave your tax bill.
If you're just now realizing that you missed out on a tax deduction or credit for 2012, don't worry: You can file an amended return for up to three years.
By cutting your tax bill dollar-for-dollar, tax credits are a can't-miss way to pay less to the IRS. Here are five tax credits you need to know about.
Corporations and wealthy individuals have already prepared for tax day by assiduously spending money in deliberate ways to minimize their tax liability.
Making a charitable donation is one way many Americans help to reduce their overall tax liability, but if not done properly, you could lose that cherished deduction.
Cut your tax bill to the bone by claiming all the breaks you're owed, including some you may have forgotten or might have never heard of. Here are the top missed deductions.
It's getting a lot harder to stay current with all the tax-law changes and to keep your tax bill under control. Follow these five rules and you can minimize the pain.
The IRS only audits about 1 percent of individual tax returns, so the odds are pretty low that yours will be picked --unless you have one of these 12 red flags.
Given how complex the tax code is, it's not surprising that people mess up when filing their returns -- making mistakes that can cost you thousands of dollars. CPA Gary Craig...
Think you're on your own if you want your tax-related concerns heard in Washington? Well, you're not. Since 1979 there's been an official advocate who has the ear of...
Many state and local governments offer businesses tax credits to give them an incentive to create jobs. A good deal -- unless your company's tax bill is already too low for...
When it comes to taxes, the news for parents is generally good. Here's a brief look at some of the ways that having children can help you save on your tax return.
In theory, private school scholarship laws in Georgia and several other states let people redirect their tax dollars to help educate poor children. Instead, some private...
What should you do if you owe the IRS a big bill on Tax Day but don't have the ability to pay it right now? Don't despair. Here are a few smart options that can help.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State could deliver strong blows to the SECopoly with bowl wins
Back in August when the temperatures soared and the hopes of college football fans soared even higher, we explored the SEC's domination of the sport.
SECopoly, we termed it in our football preview.
How the SEC took over college football, and what OU, OSU and the Big 12 can do about it.
The solution?
Beat the SEC.
Now, four months after that preview section landed in your driveway, the topic is more relevant than ever. Our locals are headed to bowls where SEC heavyweights loom. Oklahoma will face Alabama, the current king of college football, in the Sugar Bowl. The next night, Oklahoma State will go toe to toe with Missouri, an old Big 12 foe that has found new SEC success, in the Cotton Bowl.
It's SEC vs. Big 12 times two.
It's big.
Especially with what's on the horizon. Next season ushers in the start of the four-team playoff, and don't look now, but the SEC is positioning itself to unofficially have two of those four spots reserved.
That would fall in line with the status that the SEC has achieved in the minds of BCS voters. Because of the conference's run of national titles — seven and counting — SEC teams are given the benefit of the doubt.
Look at this season. One-loss Auburn made the championship game opposite undefeated Florida State, and by all accounts the Tigers are a superb team. But they have one loss just like a host of other teams. Michigan State is one of those other teams.
Michigan State lost to Notre Dame early in the season but beat Ohio State for its marquee victory.
Auburn lost to LSU early, then got its marquee win against Alabama.
Who's to say that Auburn's loss to LSU is better than Michigan State's loss to Notre Dame?
Who's to say that Auburn's win over Alabama is better than Michigan State's win over Ohio State?
Well, everyone says that, but aren't we just really going on the perception that everything is better in the SEC? I mean, maybe LSU is better than Notre Dame and Alabama is better than Ohio State, but there's no way to know that for certain. We believe that because we believe the SEC is superior.
That thinking is human nature after watching the SEC's ongoing domination of college football.
That thinking is also sure to continue next season when the playoff committee meets to pick four teams that will play for a title.
Want to change that? Want to put doubt in people's minds that the SEC is superior?
Beat 'em.
Obviously, OU and OSU can't do anything about whether the SEC runs its streak of national titles to eight, unless praying for a Florida State victory counts.
(That's an interesting position for the Cowboys, isn't it? Do you want the SEC's title run to stop, or do you want to play the defending national champ in your season opener next August in Arlington?)
Still, the Sooners and the Cowboys can make a dent in the SEC's armor by winning their bowl games. Beating Alabama and Missouri wouldn't erase the SEC's dominance that has spanned the better part of a decade, but still, those losses would be a black mark on the SEC's otherwise stellar record.
And in the process, the Sooners and Cowboys would give the Big 12 a much-needed boost.
During the SEC's run of national championships, that league has been .500 or better in bowl games each of those seven seasons. And five of those years, the league was a whopping three games or more above .500.
Overall record: 42-22.
The Big 12, by contrast, is a combined 29-27 in bowl games over the same period. In only four of seven years has the league finished bowl season with a record of .500 or better.
Included in those struggles are national title game losses to the SEC — OU to Florida in 2008 and Texas to Alabama in 2009 — as well as SEC supremacy over the Big 12 in the Cotton Bowl, an annual matchup of the two conferences. SEC teams have won nine of the last 10 Cotton Bowls, including Texas A&M's 41-13 trouncing of OU last season.
The Big 12's stature has slipped in recent years — losing two of three regular-season games to SEC opponents this year didn't help — and a strong showing in bowls would go a long ways to rehabilitating the Big 12's image.
Trouble is, league schools are favored in only two of their six bowls. Among the underdogs are OU and OSU.
Imagine the shot in the arm if the Sooners and the Cowboys, two of the league's best, were to score upsets.
It'd be big.
Sooner coach Bob Stoops doesn't buy the idea that his team or any other team is carrying the banner for the Big 12.
"There's always a lot of talk because newspapers have to be filled and airtime has to be filled," he said. "You have to talk about something.
"We don't concern ourselves with it, really."
Perhaps they should.
Perception is part of the game in college football, and it's going to be an even bigger part with the four-team playoff. Computers have no part in the new selection process. Teams will be picked entirely by humans. Yes, those humans will be well-informed. Yes, those humans will be armed with every bit of data that their hearts desire.
But at the end of the process, they will pick four teams for the playoff based on who they think is best.
Who among us doesn't believe SEC teams will get the benefit of the doubt, will win any ties, will dominate the process like they've dominated the sport?
When does it stop?
When teams bow up and beat them.
OU and OSU have an opportunity to do just that. They might not be able to bust up the SECopoly on their own, but they could sure deliver a couple of mighty blows.

Thanks for the clarification.
I guess I'm still left with a question, though: what is "better"? Stronger, faster, more reliable, ...?
In my experience, good custom wheels can be stronger - but I've had custom wheels from very highly regarded builders that gave nothing but trouble, and I've had stock wheels from (I'm ashamed to admit) Performance that apparently are going to last forever.
Faster? I dunno. I doubt that a wheel built by hand from top-quality components is going to be any faster than a wheel built by machine with the same parts (assuming such a thing exists). I'm also completely unimpressed by things like ceramic bearings and carbon spokes. I've seen convincing evidence that those bits make zero on-road difference to times/speeds, and the only contrary evidence I've come across has been so obviously biased and/or unscientific as to be laughable.
And the "..." part? Sure. If folks want to drop big dollars on wheels because they think they look cool or the builder is a personal friend or because that's what was used to win the Tour last year, then more power to them, right?

Boise, March 19, 2010 - Thanks to a
citizens tip to Crime Stoppers, Boise Police Property crimes
detectives have located three teenage boys believed responsible for
the vandalism and arson done last weekend that damaged emergency
response equipment belonging to the Boise Fire Department.
"We very much appreciate the public's
help on this case. No one wants to find their property has been
damaged by vandals, but when it's emergency rescue equipment,
that's especially significant since it impacts public safety," said
Det. Craig Nixon of the Boise Police Property Crimes Unit. "The
citizen tip, matched with evidence we gathered at the scene
certainly helped us find who did this."
"It's cooperation from citizens combined with
good police work that really makes an impact on keeping our
neighborhoods safe," said Sgt. Randy Buzzini of the Boise
PD Property Crimes Unit. "We can't stress how valuable citizen
tips like this are, and we thank Crime Stoppers for being there to
help both police and citizens communicate."
Officers say the three suspects are all
age 14 and live in the area of the old armory where the crime
occurred. The investigation is continuing, but officers say they
will charge the teens with felony burglary, felony arson and felony
malicious injury to property. In addition, the boy's parents could
be held responsible for repaying money spent to repair the items
Original Release:
Boise, March 15, 2010 - Boise Police are
asking the public's help in finding those responsible for an
estimated $5,000 in damage to emergency vehicles and equipment
belonging to the Boise Fire Department. The same suspects are
believed responsible for setting fire to items stored inside the
old armory.
"Like in any vandalism, somebody's going to
have to pay to repair and restore the items damaged. In this case,
it's the City of Boise taxpayers," said Sgt. Randy Buzzini of the
Boise Police Property Crimes Unit. "This destruction is senseless
along with expensive. We're going to do all we can to find those
who did it and hold them accountable."
Likely happened Sunday afternoon: Boise
Police investigators believe the damage was done Sunday afternoon,
March 14th inside the old armory building on the 700 blk of Reserve
Street. The armory building has been vacant for some time and is
used for training and storage for city equipment.
Smoke coming from the armory: The damage
was discovered at approx 6:00 p.m. Sunday when two passersby
noticed smoke coming from inside the armory. The witnesses quickly
alerted firefighters just next door at Boise Fire Station #1. When
fire crews responded they found two small fires inside the building
which were quickly extinguished.
Fire equipment damaged: However,
firefighters also saw other damage to fire equipment stored inside
the armory. Damage includes a broken windshield and winch on a
truck used to pull a fire department dive rescue boat, one of the
pontoons on the dive rescue boat had been deflated, and the back of
the truck storage area had been opened and ransacked. Gas cans had
been taken from the vehicles and believed used to start two small
fires inside the building. The vandals burned desks and other items
also stored inside the armory. Investigating officers found no
signs of forced entry into the armory. How the vandals got into the
building is still under investigation.
***Firefighters say the dive rescue
equipment that was damaged is reserve equipment and does not hamper
in any way any emergency response that may involved the Boise Fire
Dive Rescue Team.
"We have a lot of investigating to
do ourselves, to see what all has been damaged and what is
missing," said Battalion Chief Tom Pawek of the Boise Fire
Department. "We'll do our best to clean up and repair what we can.
And while this is back up equipment, it is essential for public
safety, so it will have to be replaced or repaired."
Suspect Info: At this time, Boise Police
investigators have evidence that two males may be responsible for
the damage. The investigation is continuing, but at this time, no
further suspect information is available for release.
Crime Stoppers:If anyone has any
information on who may be responsible for the vandalism, they're
urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 343-COPS, or log onto
www.343cops.com, or text CRIMES or 274637, subject: Tip236.

A lesser G & S operetta. It was done about as well as could be done. Orchestra perfection. Chorus clear, in tune, and in time. Lead singers quite good plus a first-rate Grand Inquisitor.

Music was delightful, singers very good, costumes quite elaborate....just a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.

It was a lovely show but I must say that I had a problem with the seating as there was no handrail. I noticed other senior citizens were having similar troubles!

The Gondoliers is a farce. A farce should be consistently funnier than this show was. Although there were some laughs and some good lines, often there were too-long stretches of time between laughs. The Gondoliers was disappointing. The music was...continued
Greet the two kings, who, because of mistaken identity, have acquired three would-be queens! The sparkling, emerald Adriatic Sea… the sun-dappled, lazy waters of the Grand Canal… singing Gondoliers and Contadine… and the "Cachucha" danced at the Royal Court at Barataria make The Gondoliers a heartwarming Venetian valentine, wrapped in Sullivan's most beautiful music and tied with one of Gilbert's most fanciful libretti.
While most Gilbert & Sullivan operettas are strictly set within the confines of the composer's home country of England, _The Gondoliers _score was widely influenced by a visit Sullivan made to Italy in 1888. Italian folk dances such as the tarantella and saltarello jostle with other vivacious national dances such as the cachucha (a fast gypsy dance from Spain) and operatic influences including Bellini, Bizet, Handel and Mozart. The entire score is sung in English.
The Gondoliers involves a pair of handsome Venetian gondola oarsmen and a mix up of identities at birth. Along the way to resolving the confusion, Gilbert skewers issues of social equality and the class system with his usual brilliant wit and groundbreaking lyrics. When The Gondoliers premiered in London in 1889, it was given the highest critical acclaim from local media and from England's Queen Victoria herself, who was so moved that she wrote extensively in her personal diary of the show's inescapable charm. One journalist reviewing the production wrote, plainly, "It is not opera or play. It is simply entertainment – the most exquisite entertainment we have ever seen."

Lunar Roving Vehicle, 1-G Trainer
The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) was a four-wheeled, battery powered "dune buggy" taken to the moon on Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. The LRV was stowed on the descent stage of the Lunar Module and deployed upon arrival at the lunar surface. Actually a "wheeled spacecraft," it was operated with a spacecraft "stick" rather than a steering wheel and could move forward and backward. The design included a communications antenna and a television camera. Each wheel had a 1/4-horsepower electric motor. The LRV could reach speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and carry 1000 pounds (2 astronauts and their equipment). This unit was built for 1-G training on Earth. The Smithsonian originally acquired title to it in 1974.

Im 5ft10in n i weigh about 150ish.. im looking for a good jibb board with a ton of flex... my current board is 158 K2.. what would be a good board size for me?
Well im 6' 170lbs and I ride a 154 in the park and all around. I've ridden a 152, but it was with rocker tech which allows you to drop a few cm in length. So if you're looking for a good jib size, I would say around a 152-154 would be best in the park for you. And if you're looking for a sick jib deck, this is not the one to get. If you like K2 the I would go for a WWW(rocker or reg), or a Parkstar. If not I would reccomend Rome decks, because they are sick. Either the Artifact(reg or 1985), Postermania(reg or 1985), or the Graft. All of them are sick in the park and all around. Hope this helps bro

180 pounds . I bought a k2 format 158 . I am a beginer is this a good snow board for me?
yea it will be ok, its towards the lower end if the range you would want to be in, but being a beginner you will find it easier to control than riding a board that is longer

I'm 6'2, will the 163 work for me? I like to go have fun in the park so i was thinking just a little shorter than normal for easier spins and such, but the powder is where i love to be and i'll spend most of my time in it if its there on the mountain.
Anything around a 162-163 should work out for you height, considering the terrain, you will be riding, i would just adjust your stance when you change terrain (mountain, park, whatever) to make sure you get optimum shralpage. Hope i could be of help, Goood Luck
in addition to riding style and terrain ridden, board length is based on rider weight, not height (a board doesn't know or care how tall you are; a board's flex will however change depending on how much the rider on top of it weighs)... tell us your weight and we can suggest a good length for what you want to do on the hill...
I'm 6' and weigh 190lbs and I use a 161 Ride Control. I would *GUESS* that the 163 would work for you, provided that you aren't as skinny as a rail or anything. If you weigh a fair amount less, I might consider dropping into the upper to mid 150's.

Nervously bought a D800. So far, so good....
...Was able to try it out in John Lewis before I bought it. Focus points ALL seem spot-on using a 50mm 1.8G. In fact, pin-sharp.
Sensor had two tiny specks which I blew away with a blower and they're gone.
Ten-pin connector is firm and in the centre. Actually, when I stick the cable onto it. it is so firm that I have difficulty prising it off.
Very much looking forward to using it. My only lenses for it are 35mm f/2 and 50mm 1.8G, plus 70-300mm VR and the Sigma 17-50mm 2.8 DX.
They're not on the recommended list but they all look great so far!
