Small family campground. If you make a reservation by phone, you may choose your site and if it's available you get it. Friendly staff, clean restrooms. I had trouble with the cable, and someone came within minutes to help. Pool has many lounges but only one umbrella, so if you like the sun, you're good. Many sites along creek. One area for large RV's is basically in the center of parking lot. Most other sites are under shade trees. One thing to beware of is that next door there is a farm and a few times while there we got the odors of what a farm smells like. I may also depend where your site is, so do your research carefully. On the weekend, you can expect an Amish family to come by with a cart of handmade items for sale. Close to many of Lancaster County's things to do. For me this was a 10 because of our needs. But I try to tell it like it is so that others can decide for themselves. - CapeGreen

We have been coming here for the past 14 years. The owners are great and the seasonal workers are very pleasant. Plan on staying here a couple of days because there is so much to do. Everything is within a short ride from the campground. They also have a beautiful pool, cabins, a large campground store and is pet friendly. It's great, we love it. - frank kattner

We decided on a trip to Lancaster in October and this was the only park I could find 4 weeks out with availability. It was our first - and will be our last - visit here. We were in the electric/water only area. This park is like so many other older parks that were designed for 20-25' rigs. Sites are small and crammed in. They even have sites set up in what looks like used to be a large parking lot. Our site (80) had no pad and upon arrival was soggy with water, but it did dry up. Four times on Saturday we lost electric briefly. Once someone else set up on the site behind us, our water pressure dropped to a trickle. The campers on the street behind us had piled up 4 fire rings and literally had a huge bonfire going. The staff, while friendly enough, didn't seem to care. Come 11 PM campers did quiet down and respect the quiet hours. There are a few seasonals there, who fortunately didn't show up for the weekend. We won't go back. - HFW

I am expecting that someone hanging out there will definitely try to help me. Also I want to know about the new and improved features in Windows Installer 4.5, since I am not aware about it. In the beginning was infected with virus Antivirus Pro 2010. Was incapable of eliminating with AVG free edition. Uninstalled tried four dissimilar antivirus programs. I know that in most cases, a message with the error code is displayed. If you have the error code, they can search the community for this or pass this along to the Support Team. The error code plays an important role for the fix. Still no luck. Used a program called Combofix from an IT Pro that said it was super powerful and not to be used any extra time. Now I am hoping some help from your side. Any other information regarding the topic would be grateful.

Edge of the Woods farm offers pony rides and petting zoos that travel to you! I found out they also have a 4-H club for ponies, one for mini-ponies and now one for Breyer horses. I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

Thunder Thursday OT: Darnell Mayberry, Anthony Slater talk Durant in 2016, starting spots and the 'cheap' label
We had some leftover questions from our Thunder Thursday hangout, so Thunder writers Darnell Mayberry and Anthony Slater went at the extras roundtable-style. Here are their responses:
From John Wall : Any chance that my boy is coming to play with me in 2016?
Mayberry: There's a chance. But I wouldn't bet on it. The Wizards won't put Durant in a better position to win than the Thunder at that point, with Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka entering their primes. Durant is friends with John Wall, and Bradley Beal will soon be one of the best shooting guards in the league. But they still won't be a better tandem to pair with than what Durant has in OKC.
Slater: Yeah, KD even said as much recently in Vegas. He was open about the appeal of free agency. From the sounds of it, Washington will likely be among a few teams who may get a chance to formulate a pitch for him two offseasons from now. But that's still 700 days away. You and the Wiz kids have a lot of work to do in the mean time. Winning and organizational structure will be at the top of Durant's wish list.
From OKC T: Is it possible that by the end of the year (Steven) Adams is the starting center and (Mitch) McGary and (Nick) Collison are the 2nd team bigs? Adams is already our best center IMO and McGary may already be our 2nd best offensive big.
Mayberry: I don't see any scenario in which Kendrick Perkins is still on the team but completely out of the rotation. As long as he's on the roster, he'll have a place in the lineup, in my opinion. And I still don't think Adams is a better defensive player than Perkins. Adams is better offensively, however.
Slater: Forget end of the season. Adams could (and should, in my opinion) be the starting center on opening night. He's the future at that position for OKC. Might as well speed up the development as rapidly as possible. But I agree with Darnell. Unless all of the league's best post scorers drop dead, Perk will have a role. He's there to slow those guys down. If McGary breaks the rotation (which is possible), he'll likely take Collison's minutes, not play alongside him.
From Guest: Serge Ibaka recently said he is not 100 percent. Are you guys worried that he is still competing with the potential his injury could worsen?
Mayberry: I'm not worried, mostly because the team is not worried. The injury wasn't as serious as it was initially believed to be, and after a few months of recovery it should be even better. He might not be 100 percent, but he's got to be better than he was when he returned for the conference finals. I don't think it will be an issue.
Slater: No. As shown in ESPN's recent Body Issue, Ibaka takes care of his health and puts about as much time into his body as anyone on the planet. And he is ultra-serious about his profession. He'll be ready for the season.
From Tom: Do OKC players, and KD in particular, buy into the "OKC is cheap" thought?
Mayberry: I've never asked them. Maybe I should. Maybe I will. So I don't know what they think, or at least what they would say publicly (although the next time a player says something negative will be the first time). But I've got to believe they see the organization making sound decisions. I've got to believe they understand, on some level, that not everyone can make $10 million. But what probably holds the most weight is the team's success. The Thunder has been to the conference finals three out of four years. OKC has done it despite never dipping into the tax. The final step, of course, is getting over the hump and winning a title. But nothing guarantees championships, definitely not spending.
Slater: Remember last offseason, when Durant tired of people asking him of the Harden trade on Twitter and shot back a comment about the unrealistic nature of keeping that team together because of salary cap restrictions? So he seems to understand the business side of things. And even if he thinks his franchise is 'cheap', he hasn't and likely won't ever say as much to the media.
From Terrance: How big of a leap do you believe Reggie Jackson will make this season?
Mayberry: He's (again) my pick to win the Sixth Man Award. I think he's that talented, and I think he'll have that good of a year. Going into his fourth season, he should now be extremely comfortable with his role and confident in his abilities. He improved his decision-making and 3-point shooting last season and even showed some fourth-quarter takeover ability in the postseason. I've always been high on Jackson. I think this season could be a special year for him. My only concern is whether his contract extension, if it doesn't get done by Oct. 31, will weigh heavily on him and play tricks on his mind. I don't think it will. But you just never know.
Slater: The biggest leap of his career may have come last season – from relatively unknown commodity to legit Sixth Man candidate. This season, he'll need to do more, particularly on the defensive end. And I assume that growth will come. But we know what he's capable of doing. He's shown us. Now it's about consistency, not necessarily a talent and production leap.
From DJ Kike: Who is starting at the 2 guard spot in place of Thabo (Sefolosha)? Is it (Andre) Roberson and Reggie still coming off the bench?
Mayberry: By the looks of it, it'll be Roberson. I've written about why the Thunder is comfortable with the idea (defense, rebounding, allowing Reggie to remain a bench threat). The only other feasible option seems to be Jeremy Lamb. But they don't view him as a starter at this stage.
Slater: Who I think should: Jeremy Lamb, because of his offensive upside and long-term potential. OKC will win around 60 games with whoever they throw out at the 2-guard. So I think the extra development time for Lamb (and Adams at center) would be most beneficial. But because of his defensive capabilities, I think Andre Roberson will get the nod. Scott Brooks has always preferred a stopper out there at tip-off to shadow the team's best perimeter scorer. All that being said, though, Reggie Jackson is still likely to get the season's most important minutes at the shooting guard. He's proven he can play alongside Russell Westbrook and I'd expect both out there consistently down the stretch of games.
From John Corral: Which players from the 66ers are you expecting to improve more from last season that could be moved to the Thunder roster this season?
Mayberry: John, if you can name three 66ers on last year's roster beyond Grant Jerrett and Andre Roberson you're deserve a prize. I can't.
Slater: Grant Jerrett has already made the move and there's no other roster spots to be had. So no one.

The present invention relates to communication systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to overcoming a failure of a first node to contact a second node by using a third, intervening node to attempt to contact the second node; and additional techniques to verify, measure and deter such unresponsiveness.
Electronic commerce is quickly becoming an integral part of the marketing and sales strategies for many companies. The development of the World Wide Web has contributed significantly to the development of modern electronic commerce since it is essentially a free communication medium over which multiple nodes can communicate, and exchange information, currency, orders, etc.
Predictably, responsiveness of nodes in such a system is of great concern to the users thereof. It is well known that software and/or hardware problems at a particular node can cause a decrease in its responsiveness or render the node completely unresponsive. Low response times can also be caused by intentional, potentially malicious blocking of requests entering a node from selected other nodes. Depending on the type of transaction involved, the unresponsiveness of one node may result in an unjust detriment to another node. For example, the failure of a customer node to establish timely contact with an unresponsive reservation system may cause the customer to miss a cancellation deadline and incur an unjust fee. All of these problems impede the overall responsiveness and effectiveness of, e.g., electronic commerce systems.
What is required therefore, are techniques for providing responses when none would otherwise exist, and verifying, measuring, and deterring unresponsiveness of communicating nodes in systems.
These problems are overcome and other advantages are provided by the present invention which in one aspect relates to a method for handling a failure of a first node to contact a second node in a communication system. A third node is used to contact the second node on behalf of the first node.
The attempt by the third node to establish this contact may advantageously be used as a verification that the first node attempted the prior contact by, e.g., recording a time at which the third node attempted contact, thereby verifying that the first node attempted contact at an earlier time.
If the third node fails to contact the second node, a fourth node or additional nodes can be used to attempt to contact the second node, or the third node may make repeated attempts to contact the second node on behalf of the first node.
The nodes normally are expected to communicate using an automated communication medium, however, the third party node may attempt to contact the second node using other forms of communication.
The present invention also relates to, in another aspect, measuring and deterring unresponsiveness, by assessing penalties to nodes based on their failure to respond to other nodes attempting to contact them. The penalty can be determined as a function of a number of times a node failed to respond and/or an amount of time other nodes were delayed as a result of a failure to respond.
The present invention relates to, in yet another aspect, the second node contacting a third node while it is failing to respond to the first node, to attempt to elicit a response therefrom. In view of this attempt by the second node itself to contact other nodes, a responsiveness penalty which would otherwise be assessed on the second node is decreased or eliminated.
By providing trusted "3rd party" nodes to contact responding nodes on behalf of contacting nodes, the present invention provides responsiveness from the responding nodes which would not otherwise exist, and can be used as a way of verifying the initial unresponsiveness of nodes to the contacting nodes. Further, the present invention provides response measurement techniques, as well as techniques (e.g., penalties) for deterring unresponsiveness. These techniques will improve the overall responsiveness and effectiveness of the communication system, and will also prevent unjust penalties from being assessed against nodes whose initial attempts at contact failed because of unresponsiveness, or against nodes that are attempting to respond or rectify their own unresponsiveness.
The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. The invention, however, both as to organization and method of practice, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment(s) and the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 depicts a communication system having contacting, responding and 3rd party nodes interconnected by a communication medium, in accordance with the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 2 depicts the use of multiple 3rd party nodes for establishing contact between a contactor and a responder;
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of one embodiment of the present invention for handling an unresponsive responder; and
FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of an embodiment of the present invention in which a 3rd party node measures the responsiveness of a responder, and a subsequent penalty is assessed.
With reference to FIG. 1, a communication system 100 is provided, having an automated communication medium 105, connectable to which are one or more contactor nodes 110 1 . . . 110 3, one or more responder nodes 120 1 . . . 120 3, and one or more 3rd party nodes 130 1 . . . 130 3. The nodes may have connected thereto respective data storage devices (e.g., 112 1, 122 1 and 132 1) upon which computer program product code means can be stored for facilitating any or all of the techniques of the present invention discussed herein.
Though the subject nodes are designated as contactors, responders and 3rd parties herein, those skilled in the art will recognize that any of the nodes in the system can concurrently provide any one or all three of these capabilities. Therefore, the use of the terms "contactor", "responder" and "3rd party" herein should not be construed as limiting the function of the subject node. Further, the term "node" is broadly used herein and connotes any identifiable combination of hardware and/or software to or from which contacts or responses are passed in an automated fashion.
As summarized above, the present invention is directed to a contactor node (e.g., 110 1) attempting 140 1, to contact, over medium 105, a responder node (e.g., 120 1). If the responder node 120 1, fails to provide a response 140 2, a 3rd party node (e.g., 130 1) is contacted via contact/response pair 150 over medium 105. The 3rd party node 130 1 in turn attempts 160 1 to contact responder node 120 1, on behalf of the contactor node. Should a response 160 2 be successfully received, a positive response may be sent to contactor 110 1, or alternatively, if response 160 2 is not received, a negative response may be sent to contactor 110 1 and other steps taken (as discussed further below).
The contact/response pairs e.g., 140, 150 and 160, are drawn separately herein for clarity, but are assumed to be implemented using the media 105 or 106. Further, the contact/response pairs may include data, especially for one-time transactions. 3rd party node 130 1 may attempt to contact responder 120 1 either over automated communication medium 105, here shown commonly connectable to all of the nodes in the system (e.g., the World Wide Web), or alternatively, via an alternate communication medium 106. The alternate communication medium may include, but is not limited to, human intervention, telephone and non-electronic mail.
As discussed above, there is often a need to verify the first attempt 140 1 to elicit a response 140 2 from node 120 1. In this regard, the 3rd party node's notification 150 1 and subsequent involvement, including possibly another attempt 160 1 can be used to verify the first attempt 140 1, especially if the third party is designated as "trusted" by all nodes in the system to perform such functions. A time stamp of attempt 160 1 can also be used to verify that attempt 140 1 occurred earlier. By verifying attempt 140 1, using a third party, an unjust detriment to node 110 1 can be avoided, e.g., a fee for missing a cancellation deadline when the cancellation would have been made but for the unresponsiveness of node 120 1.
3rd party node 130 1 may repeatedly attempt to contact node 120 1, or the assistance of other 3rd party nodes may be enlisted as in FIG. 2. If contactor node 110 1 requires data to be sent to responder node 120 1, 3rd party node can be instructed to deliver the data when node 120 1 becomes available (e.g., after repeated attempts at contact).
FIG. 2 depicts an enhanced embodiment of the present invention in which contactor 110 1 is attempting 140 1 to contact responder 120 1. As discussed above, upon a failure to elicit a response 140 2, contactor 110 1 contacts 3rd party 130 1 which in turn attempts to contact responder 120 1 via contact/response pair 160. If this fails, either contactor 110 1 or 3rd party 130 1 can contact yet another 3rd party 130 2 (e.g., via contact/response pair 180), which in turn will attempt to contact responder 120 1 via contact/response pair 170. Additional 3rd parties can be used until a response is successfully received from responder 120 1. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there may be a single 3rd party, or there may be multiple 3rd parties as shown in FIG. 2. At least some of the multiple 3rd party nodes may operate cooperatively as a single logical entity. Alternatively, or in addition, at least some of the multiple 3rd party nodes may operate autonomously as different, independent 3rd party nodes. The use of multiple 3rd party nodes allows the system to handle greater request traffic than were a single node used to handle all 3rd party functions. In addition, multiple 3rd party nodes can be used to achieve high availability, and to compensate for the potential of one or more 3rd party nodes failing.
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram 300 of the approach discussed above with respect to FIGS. 1 and 2 but with additional detail, and enhanced "penalty" features. In Step 310, contactor 110 1 attempts to contact responder 120 1, which is followed by an Inquiry 320 in which it is determined whether the responder 120 1 is responding correctly. If so, the contact is successful 325; if not the contactor contacts the 3rd party 130 1 in Step 330. The 3rd party 130 1 attempts to contact the responder 120 1 in Step 340. Inquiry 350 follows in which it is determined whether the responder 120 1 responds correctly. If so, a positive response may be sent to the contactor 110 1, Step 355. If not, a negative response may be sent to the contactor 110 1 in Step 360. At this time, and as discussed further herein, the 3rd party 130 1 may optionally verify this unresponsiveness and/or assign a penalty 370 to responder 120 1 due to its lack of response.
The 3rd party may also optionally repeat its attempt to contact responder 120 1 in Step 380. The method then returns to the Inquiry 350 regarding whether the responder 120 1 is responding. As discussed above, the 3rd party may comprise multiple 3rd party nodes, as depicted in FIG. 2, and these multiple 3rd party nodes 130 may all be used in Steps 340 and/or 380 to attempt to contact the responder 120 1.
The Step 370 penalty may include a financial assessment against the node, the amount of which may be based on one or more of the following: the number of times the responder failed to respond to the contactor; the number of times one or more contactors were delayed as a result of the responder failing to respond; and/or the number of times the responder failed to respond to one or more 3rd party nodes. Another exemplary penalty involves a responsiveness rating which may be accordingly increased or decreased, and communicated to interested nodes in the system. A lower rating will penalize the subject node by discouraging others from communicating with it, and a higher rating will encourage others to communicate with this node.
A further refinement of this penalty assessment technique is depicted in the flow diagram 400 of FIG. 4, in which one or more 3rd parties periodically attempts to contact the responder in Step 410. A responsiveness of the responder is measured (Step 420), based on the success and/or failure encountered in trying to establish contact therewith. This responsiveness information can be provided to contactors 110 if they request the information or if they are having problems contacting a specific responder.
This responsiveness measurement can also be used to optionally assess a separate penalty (e.g., financial assessment) against the responder, the level of which can be based on the measured responsiveness (Step 430).
To minimize the time during which the responder is unresponsive, the responder itself can periodically send status messages to the 3rd parties. If any such 3rd party receives the message, the 3rd party sends a return message to the responder. If the responder fails to receive a return message from the 3rd party, it can itself attempt to rectify its own problem and possibly contact the 3rd party using a different, alternate communication medium. This alternate communication indicates that the responder is aware of the problem, is working to fix it, and estimates the time when it will be responsive again. This information can be stored at the 3rd party and can be passed to any contactor which is interested in contacting the responder. In one embodiment, this out of band communication from the responder to the 3rd party can prevent or minimize the penalty being assessed due to the responder's unresponsiveness, in view of its attempts to rectify the problem.
This technique is also useful for partitioned networks wherein network boundaries may prevent communication between certain nodes. By maintaining contact with "trusted" nodes in its own partition, a node will prevent penalties assessed by nodes outside of its partition that cannot make the required cross-partition contact. In this regard, in a partitioned system, the contacting and/or 3rd party nodes discussed above should be made aware of the partitioning when attempting contact with other nodes, to avoid unexplained unresponsiveness and/or avoid assessing unjustified penalties against nodes which are not responding due only to the partitioning.
Contactors can also send messages (encrypted if necessary), after a communication path has been established with the subject responder, either through the 3rd party or directly between the contactor and responder. Further, the 3rd parties can have security requirements imposed on them, such that they are "trusted" to a group of contactors i.e., can be trusted to attempt to contact and/or pass private messages to the relevant responder, or be trusted to accurately collect and store information about other nodes in the system.
Described herein are techniques for attempting to obtain a response from a node (through a third party) following an initial failure; and related techniques for verifying and measuring unresponsiveness and/or assessing penalties based thereon, to deter future node unresponsiveness. The present invention therefore improves the overall effectiveness and reliability of communication between nodes in, for example, an electronic commerce system using the World Wide Web.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiment(s) thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

US-based burger chain McDonalds on Wednesday said it will bring its global coffee format McCafe in India. The maker of burgers and fries hopes to leverage the growing coffee-cafe market, estimated to be about R2,000 crore and growing at 30% year-on-year over the past three years, to add incremental revenues to its core business in India.
McDonalds subsidiary in India WestLife Development (WDL), a part of the Mumbai-based BL Jatia family will first introduce the format in western and southern India, followed by an expansion in the rest of the markets by Connaught Plaza Restaurants and led by franchisee owner Vikram Bakshi.
We built and established our core business over the last two decades. Its now time to introduce this new format as the acceptance for coffee is growing. This format will bring incremental business to our overall business while establishing McDonalds a coffee destination as well, said Amit Jatia, vice-chairman, WDL.
Jatia did not disclose how much in value terms does he anticipate the newer format to add to the revenues. Though reports indicate McCafe helps deliver 15% more revenue to a McDonalds in the market that it is already established. Jatia refused to talk about revenues per square foot.

Bracing against the rotor wash, the students are able to put their new found skills to use after training during day five of the inaugural air assault class, Sept. 26. The students have been training for the past few days on the intricacies of connecting loads weighing as much as 9,000 pounds to an aircraft hovering just above their heads. The new school, which started this month, offers another way to distinguish and enhance leadership skills for Fort Bragg soldiers above and beyond the traditional airborne skill set the post in known for.

It doesn't really matter where you begin: The show has three acts; an audience member randomly chooses their order.
Each offers a different perspective on the legal fallout from reaction to the kids' play — two aspiring Republican politicians (Robert Pavlovich plays a veteran district attorney, while Torie Wiggins is an ambitious African-American attorney) and a gay journalist (Jason Podplesky) with vengeance in mind.
The order I saw made modest sense; if rearranged, I'm not sure how it would work — if that matters.

I bought a lot of mixed trading cards from Ebay.
I've looked over them, but I can't figure out what these cards are. I know that they are yugioh related and I'm assuming that they are fakes, since they look nothing like regular yugioh cards, but given the number of them included I'm not really sure. (Around 250-300 included from the size of the stack, but I haven't counted them.)
I'd identify them myself, but I'm busy looking up set info and prices for some of the other cards included, mainly pokemon and naruto.
Here's the pics of them. Crap quality since it's taken with my ds camera.

Love it!! I see that crap on facebook when I am so bored that I have exhausted all other forms of entertainment (watching my dog sleep, chipping residual nail polish off of my nails) I always comment that Jesus' Dad won't let him have a computer or a facebook account.
Thank God you found this article. Whoever you are, I love you deeply and care for the destination of your soul. That's why I'm glad that you've stumbled across my blog and have heard TRUTH. You now have the awesome opportunity of sharing this article with all of your friends and family so that other people can hear the TRUTH.
It's an awesome opportunity, and if you don't take this chance to share, you can spend eternity rethinking that decision forever in the fiery abyss, separated from all the distractions and peer-pressures that prevented you from sharing it in the first place.
Or you can repost this article and find the favor of God.
Along with a link to the article, you are encouraged to include one of the following time-tested exhortations in your Facebook Status, Tweet, Stumble, and/or Email:
"Sadly, 95% of Facebook users will not repost this. When Jesus died on the cross, He was thinking of you. If you are the 3% who cares, repost and like this. Repost if you love God. He already saw you read it"
"If you believe in God, repost this! Please don't ignore, you are being tested. For it says in the Bible "Deny me in front of everyone, and I will deny you in front of my Father" 97% WONT POST…. Will you? O.o"
"Like and repost if you love God. Keep scrolling if you love the Devil."
Now, there is another way to respond, but please understand that it's super risky. If you love God, care about other people, and have come across this article, you could use your critical thinking skills and realize that shame-inducing demands and manipulative rhetoric rarely lead any human being into a healthy relationship with God or other people, then exercise your humanity by not reposting.
BUT BE SAFE. Care, share, and meet me in the air by witnessing to
my own God's awesomeness… repost this.
6 Comments on "Repost this or Burn in Hell"
Thanks for the help on the other comment, and again, I have to appreciate what you're doing.
I've been told that I'm going to hell several times by christian bloggers.
No problem- thanks for interacting. Us Christian bloggers don't have a great track record (as you apparently understand), so I genuinely appreciate your follow up.
Just wondering….did you go to Catholic school too? We were always being threatened with hell and damnation.
One time, my mom accidentally put a meatloaf sandwich in my lunch bag on a Friday. At the time, anyone who ate meat on a Friday was supposedly going to hell. That was the rule. Yep.
Before I could take one bite of that wonderful meatloaf sandwich, the nun swooped in, grabbed my sandwich, and tossed it in the trash.
She said that I should thank her for saving my immortal soul.
Sigh. I was hungry. I just wanted my sandwich back.
Meatloaf is a source of all kinds of evil. I'm glad you were safe.

A few weeks ago I asked for ideas on getting something different for my second bike.

Oooooooooo that is purty.
Don't worry about old age; it doesn't last that long.
What is different about the "new" Look?
Not a fan tbh. I think it's nice how everything flows but the way it's been executed makes it look very front heavy to my eyes. Also those handlebars look pretty high.
I like it...looks just like mine...
I think its a nice looking bike,I'm just a black bar tape/seat kinda guy though.
For every uphill there's a downhill.For every headwind there's a tailwind!
What a funky looking bike..
Noooooo! My thread!! -_________- http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php/896498-Do-you-pack-quot-heat-quot-while-cycling
Love the frame. Would look better with black bar tape though.
Agree on the black tape. The first bar tape change will be for a black one. Love the ride, it's so much more comfortable than my Aluminium Cervelo S1.
I like the integrated A stem though it does limit adjustability to just length and either +/-5 or +/-15 degree stems with a half inch spacer.
I need to change the stem for 110 instead of 100 and also flip it to -5
Very cool how it all fits together.
Not a fan of the stem/handlebar, too high and I agree, looks front heavy.

The Second Term
President Bush Lays Out Second-Term Agenda
Fresh from an election victory, President Bush outlines his plans for the next four years in a news conference Thursday.
The president pledged to continue fighting the war on terror, and also said he would reform the tax code and social security. He also said he had not yet made any decisions on the makeup of his Cabinet.
When asked if he felt more free, having earned a second term, he said, "I don't think [the press will] let me be too free... I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it." NPR's Don Gonyea reports.

Computer games
At Nottingham Trent University, research student Rachel Folds has been looking at how computer games can be used to help people with a learning disability to master everyday tasks.
She has been working with students from Loughborough College to see how interactive games on the Nintendo Wii and Xbox Kinect can improve their real-life skills. During one research project, the students visited a local bowling alley and were asked to knock down as many pins as possible with five balls.
For each of the following five weeks, they undertook the same challenge on an Xbox Kinect bowling game. When they returned to the bowling alley in the sixth week, their real-life bowling skills had improved, with average scores increasing by 143%.
Rachel says that learning in this way has many benefits for people with a learning disability: "We've found that the students are more motivated towards game-based learning than they are towards traditional learning."
All of the members of Rachel's research group have access to one of the consoles in their own homes, which means they can practise away from the classroom setting.
"The games on the Xbox Kinect have different ways of instructing you, such as giving verbal instructions or showing you an animation," says Rachel. "So it's not like picking up a textbook, which can be off-putting for some students." Using sports simulation games also has associated health benefits.
The technology behind games like these is relatively new, so Rachel says that in the future, software could be developed to teach other life skills. "There's a Kinect program, for example, to teach someone how to bake a cake."
Access for all
In Northern Ireland, Mencap's LiveNet project teaches people with a learning disability how to use mainstream technology. The project, funded by the Big Lottery Fund, was set up because of advances in technology and the risk of exclusion of people with a learning disability. "LiveNet helps people with a learning disability to develop their skills, to improve their health and wellbeing and access to advice and information, to connect with their community and achieve their full potential through the use of technology," says Kieran Quinn, technical support and development officer for the project.
Through LiveNet, participants are taught how to search for information on the internet, how to take photos and upload them to social networking sites, and how to download apps to different devices. "The project also highlights assistive technology – such as easy-to-use mice or large-type keyboards – so that people who have difficulty accessing computers have the chance to use them," says Kieran.
"Increasingly, people are getting these devices in their home, so it's almost becoming a peer-mentoring scheme – the people we work with go away and show their mates how to use them."
Back at The Rix Centre, Nick Whelden says that there are a number of factors that are coming together to make the use of technology more appealing to people with a learning disability. He explains Moore's law, which describes how the processing power of devices doubles every two years: "So this means that you can do the same amount of processing with a device that's half the size, uses half the power and costs half as much as it did two years ago. So the devices are generally getting smaller, more portable and cheaper."
Nick and Dave Howson agree that the line between mainstream and specialist technologies is being blurred, as high-powered devices become part of everyday life. "The use of personal budgets also allows more people to be able to access technologies like this," says Dave. "It's an exciting time," agrees Nick. "People can now download a piece of software onto a friend's iPad to see if it does something useful for them. If it is useful, rather than waiting for years to go through a local authority or NHS funding process, you can buy something right away and start using it tomorrow."
I am disabled myself, I would like to join the bowling club, please could you send me information about how to join

"WALT DISNEY WAS BORN HERE" Top 5 Page for this destination Mojácar by binnie
Mojácar Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 71 photos
We have just come back from Mojacar Southern Spain. We went for two weeks and the day we arrived we wasn't very keen. As the holiday progressed it got better and we ended up buying an apartment out there.
Mojacar is meant to be where the famous Walt Disney was born. He had a spanish name and family and changed it when he went to the USA.
There is no proof, but the locals say it's true.
Mojacar is an all year year warm weather place to visit where in the hot seasons it can get to 36/40 degrees. The desert area known as Tabernas is where Mini Hollywood is and that's where they filmed Fist ful of Dollars and other Westerns. Also an Indiana Jones film was filmed in Mojacar.
Mojacar is split into two, the Pueblo the old town is high up on a hill where the Spanish live, the Mojacar Playa which is a really long stretch of coastal line, stretches on for 3 kilometres I think. The beaches are quite empty, there are bars and restaurants galore, even though they are quite spread out.
Overall It's a place worth visiting.
- Pros:Warm weather, great people. Hardly any traffic on the roads
- Cons:Maybe too many British have discovered it
- In a nutshell:So Nice, we even bought a property

How to Find the Perfect Perfume
There are thousands of perfumes in the shops, which means it can be hard to whittle them down to find the one you really like and which most suits your personality.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Head for the perfume counter at a department store or a large chemist for the best choice. Try a maximum of three- your nose will get tired and they will start to smell the same.
2Start by taking a look at the ingredients before you spritz. If you're quite girly you might love floral perfumes. If you're sporty, citrus scents like lemon or grapefruit could be ideal.
3Spray a little onto the inside of your wrist or elbow, then wait ten minutes for the perfume to 'develop' properly. You shouldn't buy a perfume even if you like it straight away. Perfumes often smell quite different after a couple of hours. If you like the way it smells on your skin later in the day, you're on to a winner. Ask for a sample or search online for a sample so you can wear it several days to be sure you love it.
4Wear it out. The best place to wear a perfume is on one of your pulse points -where the blood is closest to your skin's surface. These include your temples, the side of your neck (not behind your ears!), in the crook of your elbow, the backs of your knees and the front of your ankles. Some perfumers recommend spritzing freshly washed hair so you waft a delicious scent around you as you move your head.

Here dead lie we because we did not choose To live and shame the land from which we sprung Life to be sure, is nothing much to lose; But young men think it is, and we were young.

Oh many a peer of England brews Livelier liquor than the Muse, And malt does more than Milton can To justify God's ways to man. Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink For fellows whom it hurts to think.

Lovers lying two and two Ask not whom they sleep beside, And the bridegroom all night through Never turns him to the bride.

With rue my heart is laden For golden friends I had, For many a rose-lipped maiden And many a lightfoot lad.

Now, of my threescore years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow.

I am not a pessimist but a pejorist (as George Eliot said she was not an optimist but a meliorist); and that philosophy is founded on my observation of the world, not on anything so trivial and irrelevant as personal history.

Happy bridegroom, Hesper brings All desired and timely things. All whom morning sends to roam, Hesper loves to lead them home. Home return who him behold, Child to mother, sheep to fold, Bird to nest from wandering wide: Happy bridegroom, seek your bride.

Inflated scores on Florida's standardized assessment test will largely be excluded from the calculation of Florida's A to F grades for schools.
The FCAT is the primary measuring stick used to give letter grades to the state's schools.
But officials have been struggling with a too-easy third grade reading portion of the 2006 test.
The state board of education approved a one-year change to its letter grade calculations, eliminating third grade reading results from the scoring in most cases.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Domino's Pizza could go public as soon as next week, according to sources cited by Reuters.
The news service reported that several unidentified sources claim that Bain Capital, the Boston-based private equity firm that owns 93 percent of Domino's Inc., is in the final stages of preparing for the offering.
Spokesmen for Bain and Domino's declined to comment on the speculation.
Sources estimate the offering's worth at $1.3 billion (7.5 times to eight times annual operating earnings [EBITDA]). Domino's second-quarter 2002 EBITDA was $41.6 million (a 14 percent increase over the previous-year period) on $904.3 million in revenues.
Reuters' sources also said, however, that the IPO could be withdrawn if market conditions are deemed unfavorable.
In July, Bain joined Goldman Sachs Capital Partners L.P. and Texas Pacific Group to buy Miami-based Burger King. The sale netted $2.3 billion for London-based spirits giant, Diaego, Plc.
* In other Domino's news, the company announced its annual Gold Franny winners, which recognizes franchisees that scored the highest in sales performance, product quality and operational audit scores, community involvement, store safety and security levels and store crew morale.
U.S. winners included: David Jenks (seven stores in Massachusetts); Elizabeth and Mike McDermott (two stores in Pennsylvania); Frank Lazauskas (seven stores in New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania); Jim Denburg (six stores in New York City); Brent Hamill (six stores in Los Angeles); Dennis Schwesinger (one store in California); Jim Garner (eight stores in Texas); Mark Talarico (one store in California); Stacy Hoffman (one store in California); Scott Smith (two stores in Nevada); Bob Lowe (one store in Florida); Freddie Wehbe (four stores in Florida); and Jason Shifflet (four stores in Mississippi and Tennessee).
International winners were: Chris Forrester (Scotland); Moonpal Grewal (England); Paul Bunis (Scotland); and Fabrice Dorie (France).
