Ok, this has nothing to do with folding bikes, but the President will be in town tomorrow. Too cold to offer him one of my folders -4 and 20mph winds. He is the fourth President (3rd sitting) to visit this little town of <20,000. Taft, Teddy Roosevelt, and George W. Bush have all been here before.
I have enough vintage folders that I could go for a ride with all the Presidents! I knew there was a reason I needed so many.

It kind of sounds to me like the legendary Pokémon are pronounced more like this:
Xernea "Zer-ne-a" (as in Eternal)
Yveltal "Why-vel-tall" (as in Wyvern and Vulture)
Edit: Never mind, someone's found the official pronunciation of them already.

i bought a transmission from them for 350.00 and it had a 30 warranty and on the 31 day the trans went out. now i have no car to drive. when i called to see if they would help with anything, i was told not their problem the warranty was up. how can you run a business that has no loyalty to its customers.
I bought two different alternators from this company in 70 days they both went bad! I call this morning as I had bought the last alternator July 22nd and they would not replace the part! I'm very disappointed and recommend that nobody go through them! I had thought since I had bought two in the last 70 days and the warranty expired 3 days ago that they would work with and refused to do so!!

Field Roast Marsala
I'm in love with Field Roast. I'm in love with those who make this miracle "meat". They seem to know a thing or two about being a vegan–they're brilliant. (It's mainly made of butternut squash, apples and mushrooms--nothing weird)! This is recipe is roughly the same as the Seitan Marsala but I made a couple of changes, like using brown rice flour instead of all purpose flour. Brown rice flour makes a more crispy texture and is naturally gluten-free.
Original recipe
Field Roast Marsala
1- 1 lb Celebration Field Roast
1/4 C brown rice flour
1/4 tsp dried marjoram
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 black pepper
1-1/2 C mushrooms, quartered
1/2 C sliced green onion
2 Tbs Earth Balance margarine
1/4 C vegetable broth (plus extra for thickening)
1/4 C Marsala or dry sherry
Olive oil, for sauteing
(optional): 1 can quartered artichoke hearts
Slice the Field Roast into about 10 slices. Stir together flour, marjoram, salt and pepper. Lightly press Field Roast slices into flour mixture and cover all sides, gently shake off the excess. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the slices in the olive oil. Saute until brown on all sides–about 3 minutes or so. The roast is already cooked–its just a matter of heating it through and browning it. Remember, the brown rice flour will make it crispier.
Add the mushrooms, green onions, vegetable broth, Marsala or sherry and the margarine. Cook uncovered for about 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
This is where you may need to mix up about a tablespoon of cornstarch with a 1/4-1/2 cup of vegetable broth to thicken the sauce. Serve over rice or pilaf and enjoy!

Sweet...I didn't know the Easter Bunny rode!
Bicycles hidden in eggs at hunt
By Cassie Norton/Staff Writer
Belmont, Mass. - The day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday dawned clear, cool and very blustery, but the hundreds of children who gathered on the athletic field at Chenery Middle School took no notice of the weather.
Some were bedecked in their Easter finest, complete with rabbit ears, while others hung out in their pajamas. A few were distracted momentarily by the promise of donut holes, but most had eyes only for the 9,000 plastic eggs scattered across the field and play area.
Carla Christofori, 8, attended the hunt with her sister Kyla, 5, and their mother. She summed up the prevailing sentiment among the children.
My favorite part is getting a lot of [eggs], she said, and seeing whats inside.
Though members of the Belmont Activities Committee, the organizers of the eighth annual Easter Egg Hunt, tried to limit the children to 10 eggs each, three of those eggs had very special contents, indeed.
Liam and Willem Johansson, Maya Chandrakasan and Hailey Murphy were the lucky three who found golden tickets in their eggs, redeemable for bicycles from Wheelworks. The prizes were donated by Belmont Savings Bank, Lawndale Realty and Phoenix Construction Co., based in Watertown. Wheelworks also donated three $30 gift certificates for helmets.
Chandrakasans older brother, Krithi, actually found the golden ticket as the family was driving away from the school.
She didnt realize she won anything, Chitra Chandrakasan said of her 4-year-old daughter. We have been doing the egg hunt for years, and this is the first time we have won anything. It was very exciting.
She said the family wasnt sure yet which of the three children would actually get the new bike, but that they will head over to Wheelworks once they figure it out.
As for the rest of the hunt, it went really well, organizer Jacqueline Kaiser said.
Kaiser joined the BAC a few years ago and took on the hunt for the first time this year.
Sponsored by the Belmont Center Business Association, this years hunt attracted more than 600 egg-hunters and their parents. Children aged 3 to 8 took to the field, while the toddlers scoured the play area for their share.
Oak Avenue resident Rita Carpenter waited in line to enter the play area with Leo, age 2 and a half, who proudly displayed a basket for egg collection.
We love the egg hunt, she said. Weve been coming for years with our older daughter, who sadly had to miss the festivities due to a dance class.
Fortified by coffee and donuts from Dunkin Donuts, sponsored in part by Century 21 Adams, several parents said they enjoy the hunt, too.
We love this event, said Carlton Road resident Diane McCarthy, there with her 4- and 5-year-olds.
Her husband, Mike, agreed.
Its always a great time, he said. Theres just so many eggs and so little time.

Our guy has been really fighting his naps lately. He will even ask to go to bed and head upstairs (around noon), but he has a terrible time falling asleep and sometimes now he just won't. We're even resorting to our old tricks (rocking, car trips), but they don't always work. He seems sleepy and when he does nap his sleep is deep and about 90 minutes long. I'm not ready for him to stop napping, but I don't know if this is just a phase or whether he's telling us that he's ready to quit napping? How do you tell?? Help!!
Knowing When to Drop the Nap (esp. BDTD moms)??
Maddox 9/14/10 & Rosie 2/16/13
"A strong man can handle a strong woman, a weak man will tell her she has an attitude"
He fights his naps too when he doesn't take a nap he ends up crashing in the car ir later on in the day. I would drop a nap. Even grownups need naps
DS still takes a nap. He needs it. He doesn't go down until between 12 and 2... but then sleeps anywhere from 2-4 hours and then goes to bed between 8 and 9.
The days he doesn't take a nap... he is a monster! and then wants to go to bed SUPER early which in turn makes for an earlier morning.
I wouldn't drop the nap. I would just kind of play it by ear and day by day so-to-speak. If he wants a nap, take him up there. If he doesn't, don't force it. I guess... I would also make him have some quiet time in his room. Even if he doesn't sleep, make him stay quiet in his room for an hour or so.
Sorry I'm not of a huge help.

Certified Child Passenger Safety Tech!
All of our kids stop naps around age 4 or 5.
My daughter dropped naps at 2.5, and Jude is headed the same way. His noon napped has moved all the way to 4pm, and I wake him after an hour so that he'll go to bed at bedtime. Some kids keep napping until 5, some stop early.
~Ziggy, mom to Lark Elizabeth 08-21-08~~big brother Darius 11-15-85~~Jude Harrison born 08-04-10 33 weeks 2lb14~
This is basic rocket science, people!
My son also NEEDS naps once a day anywhere from 12-2pm for about 1-2 hrs. I would push his nap time back try that first before giving it up completely. If he wakes up later in morning maybe he isn't really ready for a nap by 12pm try 1pm see if that works out.

H'ooookay. I seem to have pretty bad luck with wordpress for some reason. So here's what happened...
My site was working fine but I decided I just HAD to update the theme. The theme is called "daisho" so I renamed the old theme folder "daisho-old" and uploaded the new version to the themes folder via FTP. When I refresh my site, everything is blank. I still have admin access to the dash but it gives me the famed "ERROR: The themes directory is either empty or doesn't exist. Please check your installation."
twentyeleven and twentyten are also in the themes folder when you look at it in a FTP client. On the dashboard themes page the only theme visible and active is twentyeleven. I tried renaming twentyeleven to twentyeleven-temp to see if it would change anything but nothing happened.
Running: WordPress 3.4.2
Host: zymic.com
Website: pyoungdesign.zxq.net
Plugins (all deactivated):
- Akismet Version 2.5.6
- Contact Form 7 Version 3.3.1
- Hello Dolly Version 1.6
- Typography Version 2.0
- WordPress Importer Version 0.6
I would really like to get the site on the old theme version up and running first and foremost... and then figure out a more reliable way to update the theme.. It would be nice if I didn't have to do a complete reinstall of both wordpress and the new theme version (had to do that last month...)
Anyways, would really appreciate some help. Let me know if there are questions about things I've done or my configurations..

Universal Design in Elementary and Middle School: Designing Classrooms and Instructional Practices to Ensure Access to Learning for All Students
Flores, Margaret M., Childhood Education
The Association for Childhood Education International's (ACEI) mission includes helping educators meet the needs of students in a climate of societal change. One such change is the increasing diversity of learning needs within elementary and middle school classrooms. Increased numbers of students with disabilities served within the general education classroom have contributed to this diversity (U.S. Department of Education, 2005). Students with diverse needs present a challenge for elementary and middle school teachers because it may be difficult to ensure that all students meet expectations. Under current legislation, such as the No Child Left Behind Act (2002), all students, including those with disabilities, are expected to be proficient at grade level by 2013. Similarly, the Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act (2004) states that students with disabilities should have increased access to the general education curriculum and that accommodations should be designed according to the students' needs.
In carrying out the mission of ACEI and complying with federal legislation, it is important that students with disabilities have accommodations written into their individualized educational programs (IEPs) and that these students receive accessible instruction. General education teachers play a critical role in both IEP development and implementation of accessible instruction. As members of the multidisciplinary IEP team, general education teachers have a unique understanding of curricular materials, texts, equipment, and technology within the general education setting that is critical in designing appropriate accommodations. These accommodations should support teachers' other role, that of implementing instruction that is assessible to all students. While this role may seem daunting, tools are available for designing classroom environments and instruction that are conducive to the learning of all students.
Universal Design for Instruction (UDI) is a set of principles helpful in guiding this process. UDI, designed by the Center for Applied Special Technology, is a framework that has been successful for all students, including those with disabilities in general education settings (Cawley, Foley, & Miller, 2003; McGuire, Scott, & Shaw, 2006; Pisha & Coyne, 2001; Pisha & Stahl, 2005). UDI ensures that all students have access to instruction through the following principles: 1) equitable use, 2) flexibility in use, 3) simple and intuitive, 4) perceptible information, 5) tolerance for error, 6) low physical effort, and 7) size and space for approach and use. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of UDI, as well as practical classroom applications for elementary and middle school teachers.
Equitable Use
Equitable use means that all students can use materials, equipment, and technology in the classroom. The most common materials that can be inaccessible to students with disabilities are textbooks. As students advance in school, the emphasis on reading to learn increases and accessibility of textbooks becomes increasingly important in the content areas as students move through to middle school. Textbooks are inaccessible if students' reading levels are several levels below their grade placement, students cannot read the print due to its small size, and/or students have difficulty holding a book due to its size and weight. However, textbooks can be made accessible to students through the use of books on tape and through digital texts (Boyle et al., 2003; Twyman & Tindal, 2006). Books on tape are available through such nonprofit organizations as Readings for the Blind and Dyslexic, a free service for school districts and individuals with reading and visual disabilities. Digital texts allow for physical access, magnification of print, changes in contrast (i.e., increased color contrast between the print and page background), as well as audio output. …

Alex Cate Has Landed
By John Helsley
Alex Cate has new life.
Late life, but new life.
Cate, the former Cowboys backup, has enrolled at Central Washington in hopes of seizing the starting quarterback job for his senior season.
Once a touted recruit, pulled away from LSU in what seemed like a recruiting coup, Cate never became a legitimate candidate to lead the Cowboys. In his one shot at starting, subbing for the injured Zac Robinson against Colorado last season, Cate struggled miserably, going 0-for-9 with an interception in the first half, drawing boos from the Boone Pickens Stadium crowd.
That led to a second-half switch to Brandon Weeden, a switch that carried future implications as well.
Cate announced his intention to transfer after the season and now hopes to make the most of a fresh start with the Wildcats, a Division II program, allowing him to be eligible immediately.
In an interview with the Daily Record in Ellensburg, Wash., Cate offered no ill will toward his time at OSU, instead focusing on the opportunity to work with CWU head coach Blaine Bennett, who has tutored NFL quarterbacks in Kyle Orton and Curtis Painter.
"It came down to a chance to play, pretty much," Cate told the newspaper. "I've been a backup for four years. I had a chance to compete for the starting job this year, but realistically I knew it would be kind of iffy. I have nothing against Oklahoma State, this is just a better situation."
Impressions of Cate at OSU revealed a classy kid. But they also hinted of a guy who seemed more than comfortable in a backup role, lacking a real fire to be "the guy." Maybe that was just life with Zac Robinson in charge.
Maybe things will be different now.
That's the chance for the fifth-year senior. A late chance, but a chance.

During the past week, I have engaged in a number of conversations concerning the horrific tragedy that took place in Newtown, Conn.
As a father of two little girls, one in second grade and one in kindergarten, I cannot fathom the pain and suffering those who lost a child are going through, and I'm sure those who lost an adult loved one grieve no less. Words do no justice, but as President Barack Obama said, all the people of our nation are with the victims and their families.
Hopefully, there is some solace in that fact.
Being a member of society who strongly supports the Second Amendment, I cannot help but participate in meaningful dialogue about the coming onslaught of gun control initiatives.
I am a hunter who shoots. My passion for firearms is rooted in time spent afield, and guns are part of that experience. Yet there are millions of Americans who actively shoot but do not hunt. These folks simply enjoy shooting guns, but they are not the threat to our society.
Let's first establish an agreement that firearms are nothing more than a tool — lifeless objects operated by the hands of man. So we can agree firearms are not to blame for this tragedy and all others like it; people are.
However, many argue that if these killers could not obtain firearms, then mass murderers would not be able to act out their horrific plans. Many also claim inner-city violence and suicides would be reduced.
Yet there is simply no evidence to support this. Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people, including 19 children, with a bomb made from materials anyone can acquire.
The problem is our society.
And at the center of it all is the media attention these maniacs receive.
In most cases, the people who are acting out these atrocities are societal outcasts. They're loners who, by definition, are lonely. I assume most want to be accepted. They want to be popular, to have friends and engage in a normal life. Yet for some reason they don't have this.
Perhaps it's because of mental illness. Perhaps it's something else. But for whatever reason, their desire for acceptance turns to anger, which is then fueled by a desire to show us all we are mistaken and that they are deserving of attention.
And as a society we have come to show them that they will have attention, lots of it, if they act out in such a manner. By tuning in and watching it, we are all as guilty as those who broadcast it.
So now we are left with a bunch of talking heads promoting political agendas. And they're on both sides of the aisle. Watching legislators discuss gun control is a window into just how uninformed so many of our elected officials are. Many of these people have no idea what they are saying and are trying to govern on opinion as opposed to fact. A congresswoman on television said "It's harder to buy a car than a gun." That's simply ridiculous.
The truth is, every time you try to buy a gun, the retailer must perform a background check with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS. This mandate, which was initiated as part of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 and launched by the FBI on Nov. 30, 1998, is governed by the FBI. According to the FBI website, its purpose is to "determine whether a prospective buyer is eligible to buy firearms or explosives, and protecting people from harm — by not letting guns and explosives fall into the wrong hands."
It often takes law-abiding citizens, including millions who have never committed a crime in their life, days to be cleared for firearms purchase. Then serial numbers are recorded, and you are linked to that gun, forever. Few criminals and killers are going to Bass Pro or a local gun shop to buy a gun. They're buying them on the street or stealing them from legal owners.
It's scary to think such uniformed people can be elected and then are given the power to change our nation. Just think about how many other issues they are addressing that they also have no understanding of.
So now the mainstream is coming after assault weapons. Well, that should be an easy win, since assault weapons, which are fully automatic, are already so heavily regulated the average citizen cannot own one. Semiautomatic weapons are not assault weapons.
My duck-hunting 12–gauge shotgun, my dove hunting 20-gauge shotgun and my 30-.06 deer rifle, which was manufactured in the 1960s and handed down to me by my grandfather, are semiautomatic.
The truth is, any gun regulation that is passed is a crack in the dam. We all know once the water starting pouring through, the dam won't be standing much longer. There are people who want all guns to go away, and they will systematically attack our rights until their agenda becomes reality. Anymore, I can't say with confidence that it'll never happen.
If we are going to fix our society, it has to begin with family values. We stop buying children videos games where the object is killing as many people as possible. We need to stop camping in front of stores to buy iPhones. And above all, we must stop giving criminals a result they desire after committing a heinous acts.

Spinach Oatbran Omelet
September 7, 2013 Leave a comment
Spinach oat bran omelet (2 to 4 servings)
1/4 to 1/3 cup oat bran
Add enough water/skim milk to make it thoroughly wet, almost swimming.
Add 1 to 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg.
Maybe add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Mix (whip) thoroughly.
Put it in 8-9 inch nonstick skillet at medium heat.
Before eggs/oat bran solidify, load on fresh spinach (cut it up a bit) about 2.5 to 3.5 inches high.
Top it with 2 very thin slices of lean ham, cut into 1 inch pieces.
Maybe add shredded cheddar cheese to add some flavor.
Can top also with salsa, or heat diced onion and/or green peppers with a little oil in microwave and throw it on top.
1. "No bread, no potatoes" is the most common advice I give to patients in the Lipid Clinic at Duke. This omelet provides a taste somewhat like bread or a biscuit without delivering a glycemic load.
2. Oat bran lowers cholesterol just a little by binding up bile acids (made from cholesterol) in the intestine. If you use the ham and cheese and keep the egg yolk in the omelet, you may come out even.
3. About 3 years ago, I was an hour late starting with my last patient of the day, a businessman who lives in 3 different parts of the U.S. depending on the time of year. Apologizing for running so far behind, I took a little extra time and wrote this recipe out by hand along with more routine adjustments of diet and lipid meds. I did not see him again for a year, and I wondered if he had decided not to come back because of my tardiness. When he did return, I walked into the exam room on time and with more than a little anxiety.

Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal on Thursday hinted at a hike in passenger fares and asked MPs to be realistic if they wanted the Railways to move forward.
Pointing a finger at the populism that had marked announcement of fresh rail projects, he told the Lok Sabha that it would be difficult to complete them in 50 years. These projects may cost a total of Rs 4 lakh crore. We have been spreading our resources very thinly across the board and across a large number of projects, he said.
When Saugata Roy of the Trinamool Congress sought an assurance that there would be no increase in passenger fares, Bansal said: All that I would like to say is that I would expect the House to be realistic.

Trial begins for woman accused of driving around construction site, striking worker
A trial is under way in the case of a Del City woman accused striking a worker with her sport utility vehicle and leaving the scene after jumping a curb and driving through two front yards to get around a construction site.
Carla Marie Davis, 33, is charged with leaving the scene of an injury accident and reckless driving, court records show.
Testimony in the case is expected to begin Tuesday.
Prosecutors allege Davis ignored the worker, who told her she could not drive around a cement truck blocking a street in front of a home at 1503 Brookdale Drive, where workers were pouring concrete about 8:15 a.m. on June 9, 2011.
Davis backed up, jumped the curb and drove through the yards of residences at 1508 and 1512 Brookdale Drive to go around the cement truck, striking the same worker with her SUV, police reported.
The worker, Teddy Rupe, was struck with the passenger side mirror and fender of the vehicle, a 2001 Ford Expedition, court records show.
Rupe, a heavy-equipment operator for the city of Del City, previously testified that he approached Davis' vehicle and told her she couldn't continue "on through," according to a transcript from Davis's preliminary hearing.
"She said I couldn't block the street that way and I said, 'Yes, ma'am, I can,'" Rupe testified.
The cement truck was parked sideways, blocking the entire street, and traffic cones also were visible, the worker testified.
Rupe said he turned his back and walked back toward his crew when the driver of the concrete truck said, "She's trying to go around the truck," according to the transcript.
The worker said he peeked around the front of the truck and saw the SUV traveling south toward SE 15 in his direction. All four wheels were in the yard, he said.
"I had my hands raised in the air, as high as I could get them, yelling for her to stop," Rupe testified.
The vehicle continued moving, and Rupe was hit by the corner of the vehicle's fender and possibly the mirror, causing deep bruising to his rib and stomach area, he testified.
Davis, he testified, kept driving and turned onto SE 15, failing to stop for a stop sign.
Rupe identified the vehicle and Davis, who drove away, as the driver who struck him. She was arrested at a residence in the 3000 block of SE 18 Place.

I see no reason that converting to ext3 would be a poor choice. It will allow you to recover from a hugely higher percentage of crashes. fscks are still necessary from time to time, but unlike ext2, they actually work. > - Have the issues with ext3 on Linux RAID been resolved? To the best of my knowledge, yes. > - Will the failing and resyncing of /dev/md1 happening on a daily basis > cause problems with the journalling? The filesystem sees the Linux software RAID devices as just another block device, so it shouldn't even know or care about the "failures". > - Do you think the filesystem would be stable enough for 18x7 availability? Yes, but if you're using unpatched 2.4.16, I think you've got some virtual memory issues that need to be resolved. There are a few people who have patches to get the VM in the kernel up to "enterprise" levels, but they're not necessarily in the main kernels yet. Red Hat 7.2 shipped with ext3 as the default filesystem, which gets it onto a huge number of machines, some under much higher demand situations than this one sounds like. [snip filesystem questions] I'm not sure, I'm not that much of a filesystem expert. I expect that someone else will know much better. Greg -- Portland, Oregon, USA.

Richard Falk**
Nuclear weapons have inevitably placed a normative strain on political leaders. 1 This strain was "managed" during the first three decades after 1945 in various ways: by periodic calls for disarmament, by a general Western policy that emphasized defense against aggression and by a diplomacy that from the 1960s onwards sought arms control arrangements to abate the arms race and maintain public confidence in the stability of the overall nuclear situation. More recently, the rising costs and dangers of a quickening arms race have given rise to widespread public anxiety in North America, Western Europe and Japan about the relationship of nuclear weapons to the security of states and to the viability of a global political order constituted principally, but not exclusively, by sovereign states. 2
* Reprinted, with permission, from McGill Law Journal, Volume 28, Number 3 (1983).
** Of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University, and co-author, with Robert J. Lifton, of Indefensible Weapons: The Political and Psychological Case Against Nuclearism (1982), and a Senior Fellow of the World Policy Institute.
1 "Normative" is used throughout this article to encompass legal, moral, cultural, and biological standards which help draw boundaries between what is morally permissible and appropriate and what is morally impermissible and inappropriate at different levels of societal organization. The focus of this article is upon the interplay between legal norms and the nation-state, in relation to external uses of military power, and more particularly, to reliance on nuclear weapons. In the context of the law of war, there has always been a strong relationship of coherence among these various sources of normative authority. There has also always been a tension between the power orientation of the modern state and the acceptance of normative guidelines in relation to issues of war and peace. This tension has been made more serious in recent decades as a consequence of the steady application of technological innovation to warfare, in a way that makes adherence to normative guidelines strike political leaders as unrealistic. In a sense, this "unrealistic" demand for a modification of such policy prerogatives lies at the core of the current renewed normative inquiry into the status and role of nuclear weapons.
2 This anxiety also reflects the erosion of the United Nations' position as a source of normative authority, constituted originally to counterbalance and eventually modify the power-centered, fragmented behavior of independent sovereign states and such alliances of these states which aggregate like-minded and partisan political attitudes. The combined effect of the growing dominance of the state over internal political, economic and cultural spheres of action and belief, and its autonomy (or sovereignty) in relation to supranational frameworks, especially in matters of national security, fosters an impression that such states operate in a normative vacuum, especially the superpowers. For a discussion of these depressing dual aspects of the international situation, see Falk, Nuclear Weapons and the End of Democracy (1982) 2 Praxis Int'l 1; and Falk, "The Decline of International Order: Normative Regression and Geopolitical Maelstrom" in Yearbook of World Affairs 1982 (1982) 10.

Good card, poor reader
This review is from: TOPRAM 32GB SD 32G SDHC Card Class 10 Ultra High Speed UHS-I for Camera & Camcorder with R16 Reader
Pros: Card performed well using a different reader (built into a slightly older computer). Clocked sequential reads at 65MBps and writes at 26MBps. Created and copied a 30GB file to it, and verified that checksum was okay (so the capacity is real)
Cons: Included reader is mechanically stiff and not that easy to insert card into or to extend the USB plug; fear of damaging card. Reader is USB2.0 and fairly slow. I plugged into USB3 port and clocked it at 17.6 MBps read and 11.1 MBps write over an extended period. Same throughput whether using original FAT32 filesystem, ext2, or accessing it as a raw block device in Linux.
Other Thoughts: For $2-3 above the price of the card you get a USB reader that handles the high capacity, but doesn't allow the card to reach its speed potential.

Even after 30 years, base hits, bloopers and bubble gum remain intertwined in my memories of my son's years in Pony League baseball.
Jimmy was 12 his first season, and his coach knew little about baseball. Still, it was commendable that he undertook the role. A high school "helper" did the actual coaching. Although the games' outcomes were predictable, it was amazing how each loss was different from the one before. Pauline couldn't have survived her perils more gloriously than one young opponent who successfully bunted her way onto base, then proceeded to steal second and third, thanks to the bungling efforts of male infielders who later grumbled, "So where are you supposed to tag her?"
As the season wound down, we came to dread the sight of our son at bat. It was an exciting moment the day a solid hit rebounded off his bat. It was usually his fate to get picked off trying to steal second, so when he managed to reach third with no outs, I had high hopes that for once my son could score. Tentatively, he led off as the pitcher went into his stretch. Then, as the ball headed toward the plate, so did he.
The batter swung. This was no squeeze play — the batter was swinging for the fence! But he missed the ball. Somehow the bat also missed our son's head. We were too relieved even to care that the catcher dropped the ball, allowing our son to score.
After the game, Jimmy insisted, "The coach told me to go, Dad. It was our surprise play. It worked, Dad! I scored."
Dad was neither impressed nor convinced. "No coach would have someone steal home when there were no outs," he declared, "especially into a swinging bat. You must have misread the sign." The remaining games disproved that theory. More than once we saw the same "surprise" tactic.
Our second year, we were among the early sign-ups so we wouldn't end up on a leftover team with another kamikaze coach. Losses still far exceeded wins that year, but the plaques gratefully given to the coaches summed up our feelings. "It matters not if you win or lose," they read, "thank you for teaching us to play the game."
Jimmy's final season, we were familiar with the scuffed bleachers and the sight of our son's mouth stuffed with so much bubble gum I feared his jaws would surely unhinge. The entire team was always infected with the first-play-of-the-game jitters. They all chewed, jaws working with a drooling frenzy to manipulate their too-large wads into controllable masses. When our bubble gum brigade successfully eliminated its first batter, tensions dissipated and tiny bubbles were replaced by big pink baseball replicas. I can still picture our pitcher winding up and sucking in the last of a huge bubble that nearly obliterated his face.
Our coach declared after our preseason game, "These boys are awesome! No team should beat us!" His prophecy was only partially accurate. We were not unbeatable, but indeed, the boys were awesome. My thesaurus suggests that awesome means astonishing, dreadful, alarming, disquieting, and perturbing — all apt descriptions of the team.
Tom was our utility outfielder, most reliable pitcher and chick magnet. Spending more than half of many games in the dugout did not deter his cheering section. However, I didn't share their confidence the day he came to bat with runners on first and second and two outs. Tom grounded sharply to deep right field. As the outfielder hurriedly threw toward the infield, I turned my attention to our boys crossing the plate. When the parents from the opposing side rose with a roar, I heard what sounded like, "Yer out!"
At first base, Tom was turning dejectedly toward the dug-out. He had waited at the plate to revel in the wonder of his hit before running to first. It was a moment too long, and his glory was short-lived.
I can't remember what a boy named Bill did to cause his dad to roll eyes and moan repeatedly, but one day his exasperation peaked and he asked his son, "How would you like it if the paramedics had to come and remove my boot from your rear?" The team adopted that phrase as its favorite punch line to dispel gloomy moments or help teammates recover their composure after errors.
Seeing Chris opposing us in right field was quite a surprise one evening. He'd always seemed naively intent on his own self-destruction. We noticed him sprawled on the outfield grass. No balls or players were near him, yet obviously he had taken a bad tumble. After the game, our son explained, "Chris had dirt in his cleats so he backed up to the chain link fence to knock them clean. His cleats got caught on the fence and he dumped himself." He had a fetish about clean cleats. His on-deck warm-up swings were punctuated with attempts to knock the bat against his shoes to loosen the dirt. Invariably he'd miss and bang his ankle.
But that day, he hobbled to the plate and drove in the winning run.

Super tip on the butterfly farm! Baguio sounds like an interesting place!
interesting town
Sigh, all the memories! I did the horseback riding too and my horse didn't want to move..
I just got back from beautiful Baguio City, where I married my sweet asawa, Elsie. We were so busy preparing and visiting my new relatives while I was there that I did not have time to visit the many sites, though I saw a lot of the inside of jeepneys.
This looks like a beautiful place Ana & I certainly would like to try out the hot springs. Wouldn't mind tasting some of those strawberries too.
Ana, Baguio was recommended to me as a place to visit. I can see why now. Thanks for the informative tips. Too bad about Crystal Cave; however, I totally agree that its not bad to keep an old beauty some company every once in a while. :)
Baguio is indeed a very beautiful place ! I heard about it from my Philippines friend and hope to visit one day.

My friend Ed has a problem.
You see, Ed is one of those glass-is-half-empty sports fans. An ardent supporter of the Colts, Pacers and Hoosiers, he is the first to be critical when things do not go well.
Don't call him a bandwagon supporter, though. Ed is a loyal fan; he just expects a lot from his teams and is quick to call out the problems.
There is one exception. Ed is a Cubs fan.
When the talk turns to Wrigleyville, that half empty perspective turns to half full. Hope and Cubs are four-letter words, and Ed uses both freely in tandem.
"Just wait, Bob," he assures me. "2016 is our year," he says of Chicago's current rebuilding process.
The date is one Ed uses with conviction, seemingly oblivious that previous predictions of 2011, 2012, 2013, etc., have all passed without fanfare, much less October relevance. He can do that without the same emotional buy-in that comes with being a fan of other teams.
The difference is simple—the Colts and Pacers have an annual chance to be very good, maybe even great. A fan like Ed makes a personal investment. It hurts when the payback is less than expected.
Not so with the Cubs. The expectations are limited; so is the emotional commitment. No one — not even a professed true believer like Ed — expects the Cubs to be anything more than a cellar challenger.
Fans expect little, and the team delivers. Lately, Chicago has lived down to expectations. Even this year, after a remarkable road sweep of World Series champs Boston, the Cubs still are in dead last, a dozen games back at the halfway mark.
That is changing, though.
And that is why Ed has a problem. The Cubs may be on the brink of building something special. That's right, the Cubs are on the road to relevance.
They're not there yet, as their last place standing today attests. And it may take longer than 2016. But President Theo Epstein, who took over after the 2011 season, is creating a solid young team.
Some of the pieces already are in place, such as big first baseman Anthony Rizzo (.274/17 HR) and rangy shortstop Starlin Castro (.290/26 doubles)
Others are maturing in the minors, including hot prospect Kris Bryant, a third baseman with power, infielder Javier Baez, and former IU catcher/outfielder Kyle Schwarber. The latter, the No. 4 pick in this year's draft, has quickly moved up to Class A Kane County.
Epstein has been active on the trade market too, with a blockbuster deal earlier last week sending popular starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija to Oakland for shortstop prospect Addison Russell, who is now in Class AA.
The Cubs now have four of the top 15 prospects in the minors and eight of the top 100 in rankings that do not yet include Schwarber. Some of that likely will be used as trade bait. The pitching pipeline remains thin, especially after the loss of Samardzija and starter Jason Hammel in the Oakland deal.
"I really feel there's a light at the end of the tunnel," Epstein told MLB.com after his latest trade. "We appreciate our fans' patience, and we're working extremely hard to reward them with a team they can be proud of for a long time at Wrigley Field.
"This group has a chance to stay together, and our fans have a chance to get to know them, and not just for one or two years."
Does that mean October baseball may be on the horizon at Wrigley, itself in the early stages of a multi-million makeover. Yes, that is certainly the target. Anything less will be a disappointment.
"These are real prospects,"
Epstein said. "Not all of them work out, but we like these
players quite a bit, and they have a chance to play together for all time at Wrigley Field.
"When you put that together with a couple of 24-year-old All-Star-caliber performers like Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro, you can't be (anything) but excited about our future."
However, from a billy goat to Bartman, Cub fans understand disappointment.
Count Ed among them.
That is where the problem starts for Ed and other Cubs fans.
Can you really buy in to this new direction? Can you really trade the half-in-jest predictions of a turnaround and go all-in behind Theo?
"Cubs in 2016, baby," Ed tells me with a confidence that he reserves only for his Chicago boasts.
This time, he just may be right.

PROFESSOR LEGOUIS, of the Sorbonne, says that "daylight entered into English literature with the song of Taillefer, at Hastings."1 The statement of Froissart that "the English take their pleasure sadly" contains much truth. When Britons, after the battle of the Plains of Abraham, subjected to their domination French Canadians, a certain spirit of solemnity and cheerlessness made its advent into New France, and worked its way to the Pacific Ocean. With his numerous appeals to our admiration the English Canadian is of a less happy temperament than the French. The latter are known as being of a joyous nature and possessing rare social instincts. Community life means much to them. In Ontario one notices that the farms are large, and that farm-houses are located at the centre, away from neighbours. This arrangement is doubtless more convenient for agricultural purposes, but less well adapted to sociableness. English writers have made all manner of fun of the long ribbons of land in Quebec,2 but they have failed to see that such a system was demanded when French colonists were hourly exposed to the attacks of the Red man, and also by the social spirit of the natives. Anglo- Canadians are getting detached from the land, but the habitant, with his social environments, still finds great happiness in cultivating it, for he has an instinctive delight in society.
In this attempt to describe the moral and social condi-____________________

[SIZE=1][B]What I like about Texas[/B]
Set F1re To The Ra1n ( NY Night Rain Ride)
You don't, you need "be seen" lights.
I didn't finish watching that video (too long), but it seems riding a recumbent in a busy city street with double-deck buses is to invite them to run you over. Also what's the fun to be going at the feet of every bus, truck, car, cyclist? Breathing the dusts?
Yeah, no thanks. I guess if I had no other bicycle options I'd have to find a way and adjust, but otherwise, riding a recumbent bike or trike in big cities just seems not worthwhile.
Chaad--'95 DeKerf Team SL, '02 Lemond Buenos Aires, '05 Novara Buzz, '73 Schwinn Collegiate, '06 Mountain Cycle Rumble, '09 Dahon Mariner D7, '12 Mercier Nano, '12 Breezer Venturi
I guess I don't really see the cause and effect between the thread title and that video. If anything, what that video says to me is "here's why you need a front (not overly high powered) blinking light to identify yourself as a biker and stand out from the overwhelmingly large amount of visual noise.
I think something like a Planet Bike 1 watt front light on blinking mode would be more effective than more lumens for being seen in that situation.
As to the OP subject; No need for a solid bright light on front for seeing with all those street lamps so it was smart to go with flashing front light. If I was riding a recumberant I would also go with a helmet lamp, flash or low power solid just to paint a bigger picture.

The BBC headlined it, "Low vitamin D boosts dementia risk." And countless blogs and Twitter messages parroted that same line. Erroneously.
Because, as the BBC story itself went on to explain:
"We need to be cautious at this early stage and our latest results do not demonstrate that low vitamin D levels cause dementia," (the lead researcher said).
And if you haven't proven cause-and-effect, you can't say that x boosts the risk of y. With an observational study such as this, you can say there's a statistical association, but it's inaccurate to use causal verbs like "boosts."
So, these headlines were wrong as well:
In the US, a Washington Post story was confusing with this line:
The researchers acknowledged the possibility of reverse causation that is, that having dementia might alter a persons behavior or diet in such a way as to contribute to Vitamin D deficiency but suggested that the makeup of the study made that unlikely.
Wait a minute. Before you start talking about reverse causation, you better make clear that this study did not establish causation of any sort. And this story did not do that – not with a headline that stated "Vitamin D deficiency raises Alzheimers risk," and not anywhere in the rest of the story.
It doesn't take much time or many words to get this right.
On the CBS Evening News, Dr. Jonathan LaPook said, succinctly:
"Just because low vitamin D is linked to a condition doesn't mean that low vitamin D is causing that condition."
HealthDay was equally clear and simple:
"This shows you there is a link between vitamin D and the development of Alzheimer's," said Keith Fargo, director of scientific programs and outreach for the Alzheimer's Association, one of several funding sources for the study. "What it doesn't show you is that [cause-and-effect] link."
Whether dietary changes or getting more sun exposure would help isn't known, Fargo said. "We don't know if increasing vitamin D levels would decrease the risk of Alzheimer's," he added.
A Reuters Health story concluded:
Many other observational studies have tied low vitamin D levels to increased risk of any type of disease, said Dr. Philippe Autier, but that by no means implies that low vitamin D causes those diseases.
Autier coauthored a systemic review of vitamin D and ill health published in The Lancet in 2013 and studies the question at the International Prevention Research Institute in Lyon, France.
Our paper in the Lancet showed that low vitamin D status would rather be the consequence of systemic inflammatory processes that are common in many chronic conditions, infectious diseases, aging, dementia and even depression, Autier said. Inflammatory processes are strongly involved in Alzheimers disease, and these processes are likely to be present well before Alzheimers disease is clinically detectable.
The one randomized trial that has investigated vitamin D levels and dementia did not find a causal connection, he noted.

"Sparks fly from her fingertips ... She's a restless spirit on an endless flight" -- so goes the song "Witchy Woman" released in 1972 by rock band, the Eagles.
The Eagles were far from the first to draw on this image for inspiration. We may have put together a list of creative women's Halloween costumes for 2011, but the witch remains the most classic female getup. A ubiquitous figure, both in pop culture and history, the representation of the witch is by no means uniform; she's been interpreted in a multitude of ways over the years, from repulsive to stunning, evil to virtuous, air-headed to cunning.
In the Western world, witches are most famously associated with the European and North American witch-hunts that took place in the 15th to 18th centuries (remember the Salem Witch Trials?). Most of the individuals targeted, tortured and executed were women. And although the witch-hunts weren't exclusively about gender, much of the moral panic surrounding witchcraft stemmed from the fear of female sexuality and the threat it was thought to pose to the male-dominated Christian Church.
We've clearly come a long way since burning witches at the stake, but witchy women still have a hold on the popular imagination. In film and on TV, witches tend to be divided into two camps: good and evil. "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" is the first question that Dorothy is asked after she lands in Oz. Good witches are generally depicted as beautiful, white and young, while bad witches are generally older, less conventionally attractive, often darker skinned, and prone to jealousy. In recent years, some of the witches that have emerged have been more nuanced characters (Antonia and Marnie from the most recent season of "True Blood" come to mind).
To explore the witch's cultural evolution, we've rounded up a slideshow of our favorite -- and most famous -- witches of the last 100 years.

Issue 5. https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-22467 the resetting of assignment due dates over the course of DST during backup/restore is still an issue for us on 2.5. We are in America/Los Angeles Timezone and every time we do a restore into a period of time that contains a switch in the timezone our assignments are being adjusted in the restore process by 1 hour. Coming up, March 9th, our course assignments are rewritten with a due date 1 hour later than they should be.
Perhaps my issue isn't related to number 5 but and is more related to number 2 but it is a separate issue with DST during backup/restore.

1. Set your server to a time zone that shifts with DST. America/Los Angeles for instance...
2. Backup and restore a course with assignments that have correct due-dates - to a new date/time that overlaps the upcoming time change (ie. March 9 is coming up)
3. After the course is restored all of your assignment due dates will have shifted by 1 hour, forward in the case of spring, or backward in the case of fall.
Courses that have this occur require manual editing of every assignment/quiz with a due date. This can be quite cumbersome.

This issue has been converted to Epic. Please do not create any more sub-tasks, instead add issues in Epic. Also keep in mind that sub-tasks can not be added to HQ sprints.
Let me know if you need help in bulk-converting unresolved sub-tasks into epic issues.
