Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 20 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Asuestar Exceptional Product This kitchen cart is both versatile and AH-MA-ZING! It's just the right size in our recently renovated open floor plan kitchen and we even took the shelf out so that it was more of an island and placed counter-height stools around it for extra seating. This cart is made with high quality wood and is heavier than I first thought, but I was able to put this together by myself with no problem. We expect to enjoy this addition to our home for many, many years. April 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cookiecrafter One of my smartest purchases ever! First, let me say I am a chef and I teach cooking classes at home. I first bought this to extend my existing island because it fit exactly like I needed. Plus, I had been looking at one at PB that was 4 times the cost. My husband wouldn't let me buy that and said find something cheaper. I searched all over and found this one. I bought it that day- and was lucky because someone had bought it and paid to have it assembled but then never picked it up. So I got that one and didn't have to assemble it! I actually like this one much much more than the original one I saw. They also sell baskets that you can fit 3 perfectly across the higher shelf below the top. Every time someone came into my kitchen they asked where I bought it. Now I have moved into my "cookie studio" where I make sugar cookies for sale. Now I am looking into buying a matching table. The only thing negative is its a little wobbly at times but is very easy to move and is still very sturdy. March 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by milwauk Sturdy and easy to put together. The product is exactly what I was looking for - a sturdy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing kitchen island. I am very happy with this purchase. February 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by WMA7192 Love! This is the perfect kitchen island. It's the perfect size for my kitchen and has such great character. I have received many many compliments on it already. January 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by RedHead323 LOVE THIS What a huge change this made. I had a cheap, plain wood island in my kitchen. The minute this beauty came in - the whole feel of my kitchen improved. More storage, more elegance, more work space. March 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bevsopinion Beautiful piece I absolutely love it! Is very heavy and sturdy, looks high end. Was not difficult to put together. I may try to find a couple of stools to match. My plan is to use it as a kitchen island when I renovate my kitchen. December 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aleey506 WOW! This is fabulous The Jackson Kitchen Cart is absolutely fabulous. I was a little hesitant putting this together but I did it all by myself, except when I had to put the top piece on. It was so heavy I needed a friend help me pick it up, which is a GOOD thing because it shows this is not a flimsy piece of furniture. Nothing but affirmative responses when friends and family saw it. November 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by heathero Love this piece! We remodeled our kitchen and needed an island. NOTHING we were seeing fit the bill. I found this piece and took the risk of purchasing without seeing it first. The result is we love it. It is not super easy to put together. We added wheels. I's working great as an island. We added a big butcher block cutting board to one end. July 3, 2013

I suspect my airspeed indicator is under reading as it was consistently below the GPS groundspeed.
I was trying to be cleaver and export the tlog into a spreadsheet and take averages of airspeed and groundspeed for the entire flight, hopefully eliminating wind error and giving me some estimation of magnitude( but the CSV import just ends up like spaghetti). At the higher speeds I suspect it may be 10m/s error, and the stall at 8m/s was probably a little slow (expecting 10).
Can someone advise me on the ARSPD_RATIO parameter? Which way, and how much should I tweak it for starters?
Views: 289
O bu**er, there is also ARSPD_OFFSET to consider as well.
Just realised that this is an self-zeroing thing on APM boot.
I recently read here in another thread that the original poster had received a pitot tube that had a defective sealing between the pitot tube and the static air tube. You too may have received a defective one. I believe this defect would cause the symptoms you've described. Good luck

Giving Feedback To Gen Y Employees
by David Lee - Jul, 2010
"Giving Gen Y Employees Corrective Feedback: What Can Video Games Teach You?" One of the biggest complaints I hear from managers about their Gen Y employees is how defensive they get when given corrective feedback. You can dramatically increase how receptive your Gen Y employees are to feedback if you borrow from the world of video games. In video games, feedback is an essential part of the game. It's how you know you...

by David Lee - Apr, 2010
Gen Y Employees, Felons, and Constructive Feedback Do you want your team members to welcome your constructive feedback—rather than defend against it or resent it? Do you want to help create an environment that inspires excellence and frowns on mediocrity? If so, you can benefit from two very diverse sources of excellence: 1) a non-profit organization that rehabs hardened criminals with a 90% success rate 2) a c...
The Strong Personality Safeguard
by David Lee - Mar, 2010
The Tale of a Smart Leader Just recently, while doing a program on recognizing and working with different personality styles for a management team, I heard a great example of self-awareness from the leader of the team. We'll call him Jack. Jack, a senior level manager, scored very high on the D, or Driver dimension for the DISC profile, which means he tends to communicate in a very direct, bottom line-oriented way. H...
For Higher Morale, Think Maslow
by David Lee - Feb, 2010
More specifically, if you want higher employee morale and greater employee engagement, think of Maslow's "other hierarchy." Awhile back, I heard Gary Hirschberg, CEO of Stonyfield Farm, refer to Maslow's Hierarchy of…Grumbles. I laughed, thinking he had put an amusing spin on Dr. Maslow's famous hierarchy. To my surprise, when I returned home and scanned The Farther Reaches of Human Nature, I discovered he actually wrote ab...
Constructive Feedback...Really?
by David Lee - Feb, 2010
How good are you at giving "constructive feedback"? Is the feedback you give truly constructive? Whether giving someone feedback or expressing your opinion, do you do it in a way that communicates: A) "You're a fool" or B) "Here's my perspective." I was just reminded of this while reading responses to a question posed in a speakers e-newsletter I received. One of the members asked fellow members for their perspective...
Do You Foster Helplessness or a
by David Lee - Jan, 2010
In these rather challenging times, you need ALL of your employees thinking and acting like winners, not throwing up their hands in defeat or metaphorically curling up in the fetal position. How you communicate with them plays a huge role in which kind of workforce you get. Just recently, I heard two examples that illustrated opposite approaches to communication by senior management. One approach virtually guaranteeing wh...
The Hidden Benefit of Employee Empowerment
by David Lee - Dec, 2009
First off...sorry for the BusinessSpeak cliche "empowerment", but it's the quickest way to get the point across... In searching through my notes for an upcoming seminar on how to boost morale and lower stress, I came across an article from Inside 1to1 - the marketing folks - that had a great reminder of what happens when you enable your employees to: Feel the thrill of victory, rather than the agony of defeat Here's a...
Are You Listening?
by David Lee - Dec, 2009
Most of us could seriously improve our listening skills. Have you ever... 1. talked with someone who kept vigorously nodding their head as you spoke, yet when they responded, it was clear they hadn't been listening? 2. had someone assure you they got what you were saying, yet when you asked them what they heard, what they fed back to you was not even remotely close to what you said? 3. shared an idea or point of vi...
The #1 Skill of Great Leaders
by David Lee - Oct, 2009
Becoming a "People Whisperer":How to Communicate So People Care About—and Act On—What You Say Whether you are a CEO or an individual contributor, your success is largely determined by your ability to "move people": to get them to both care about what you say, and then to act. In fact, research discussed in How Extraordinary Leaders Double Profits showed that the #1 competency separating leaders producing great profits and...
The Power of Stories
by David Lee - Oct, 2009
How do you keep your workers inspired, determined, and confident in the face of change, challenge and uncertainty? One of the things you do—especially if you're a business owner or senior level leader—is to tell stories. Not just any story. You need to tell the kind of stories that leaders at great companies like Ritz Carlton, Southwest Airlines, Nordstrom, and FedEx tell. They tell stories about the great things...

I was listening to a particularly murky recording the other day and I did something I rarely do. I used my media players equalizer and turned the treble way up.
Because the equalizer is hidden within the player I forgot I'd left it set.
In short when I returned later and listened to a few tracks I thought how much more vibrant the system was sounding than usual.
Eventually got to a track with an already piercing treble and realized my mistake.
Switched equalizer off. System sounded bloody awful, like I'd thrown a duvet over each speaker.
Within a couple of hours however it had once again become the model of clarity.
What is going on ? I mean my system is either muddled and confused or it is clean and clear.
It can't be both, or can it.
Do our favourite components sound as good as we think or are we simply willing them to sound good.

Nice closeout
By tc
from NJ
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Giro Factor Road Shoes - Closeout:
These shoes seem shorter then my current ones, but are longer on the inside and more comfortable. No idea how that happens. They are a tad narrow, but overall fit as I expected. My big concern is the plastic covered outside. My old shoes were leather and lasted a very long time. I would expect these to last a while but in the end, I expect that plastic or vinyl outside to crack. It may not, but that is the impression I get. They are not a lightweight as I expected, being only 10 grams per shoe lighter yet supposedly 6 or 7 years ahead in technology. I would buy these again however, especially at the closeout price.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love these shoes
By Deb
from Ontario Canada
These shoes meet all expectations, plus. The upper is very soft and supple so it conforms to your foot while allowing for a snug fit. It is true to size. I wear a size 8 woman shoe and the 39.5 fits perfectly.
Tight and HOT but spiffy looking
By Lin the tandem stoker
from British Columbia
The sizing runs small. Despite my being an 8 1/2 Woman's, I tried one size UP, a 40 and they are still very snug width-wise (though the toe box is roomy). This is ok on a cool day but given a HOT day they were unbearable. The shoe gets very hot (and I'm normally pretty cool-footed) to the point that feet swell slightly and the shoe becomes far too tight. Very painful.Otherwise, I love the custom arch supports, the classy red/white look, and the stiff carbon sole. But these will not do for hot weather riding. sigh.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Stiff, good fit, light, easy to adjust on the go. Highlighter yellow color faded quickly and the shoes look pathetic now. Thank goodness I'm not a fashionista!
Great Shoe at a great Price
By Nolan
from Sandy Ridge, NC
During warmer weather, I try to ride 10-25 miles each day. The shoes are light, stiff and comfortable. No hot spots. As always, nashbar offered a great price!
Good shoe
By Leftync
from Eastover, NC
I have extremely wide feet. I normally wear an 11-11.5 street shoe, as wide as I can get. I was surprised at how well this felt in a 48. Doesn't feel too long, and the 48 is wide enough for my EEE-EEEE feet. Doesn't work as well in winter, when I double up on thick socks, at least not with a thick Superfeet insole. Insole system is OK, but I'm now using a thinner Superfeet model. Sole seems nice and stiff after a year. Solid, light shoe, especislly if you get it at a good price.

What a bargain!
By Gunner's Dad
from Western Kentucky
These shoes look great and fit perfectly. I am usually nervous about buying anything online that has Euro sizing, but these shoes in size 46.5 fit my size 11.5 feet perfectly. Very comfortable right out of the box. My speedplay cleats attached easily and I am very, very satisfied with my purchase.
Very happy with these shoes
By Wacoskier
from Tyler, Texas
After reading all the reviews I decided to buy the Giro Factors as my first true road bike shoes. Absolutely love them and vey happy with my decision. Feet stay comfortable all day long.
Love 'em
By Ted
from Columbus, OH
Love these shoes. The 3 different arch support inserts are nice. The tongue of the shoe rides a little high on my ankle and I have to make sure the notch in the tongue adjusted correctly. It may still be a pressure point later on. Easton carbon in the sole and the shoes appear quite durable (unlike some italian-brand road shoes that wouldn't last if you walked more than a few steps in them after getting off the bike.) I was a little worried about the hi-lighter yellow color at first but now that I have them I think it's a really nice accent.

Mainland standout Hadley says he is working to meet college eligibility requirements
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 12:27 a.m.
Despite a report that he had an offer from UMASS on the table, Mainland standout athlete Cameron Hadley said that he has yet to personally receive an offer from a team.
Instead, Hadley said that teams are waiting on him to meet eligibility requirements.
"West Virginia talked to me, and South Florida did too," he said. "Both said that same thing, that I have to qualify before they can offer me. They've seen my highlight film and they're really interested."
Hadley said he slacked off a bit as a freshman, and that he is currently working to boost his GPA.
"I'm not that far away," he said. "I'm working and coach (Scott) Wilson is helping me."
He said he also needs to score higher on the ACT, which he plans to take again in December.

Watch Out for: Osteoporosis
The symptom you've had: Three or more hot flashes on most days of the week
The link: Symptoms such as frequent hot flashes may be a sign that your nervous system is revved up and producing too many stress hormones, which can also harm bones. A 2009 study linked accelerated bone loss to women with strong vasomotor symptoms.
Protect yourself: Make sure your doctor knows your history. Do resistance training, load up on calcium and vitamin D, and consider hormone therapy. More research is needed, but HT may give you extra bone-building benefits, says researcher Gerrie-Cor Gast of the Utrecht University Medical Center, in the Netherlands.
Watch Out for: Type 2 Diabetes
The symptom you've had: Mildly abnormal blood sugar during pregnancy
The link: Researchers know that gestational diabetes indicates an underlying glucose glitch that makes a woman more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later. But a recent Canadian study of 15,000 women concluded that having just mildly elevated blood sugar during pregnancy also signals potential trouble.
Protect yourself: Type 2 diabetes is preventable with a healthy lifestyle: Eat right, exercise and get serious about dropping excess pounds.
Watch Out for: Migraines and Osteoarthritis
The problem you've had: Physical abuse as a child
The links: University of Toledo researchers studying adults with migraines report that those who were abused have more frequent headaches than those who were not abused. Similarly, a study from the University of Toronto found that osteoarthritis patients had higher than normal rates of childhood abuse. "Early life abuse causes permanent changes in the structure and function of the brain," which seems to heighten the body's response to stress in adulthood, says the migraine study's author, Gretchen E. Tietjen, MD. And stress worsens both migraines and osteoarthritis.
Protect yourself: Abuse victims may need extra help controlling the way they respond to stress, so consider professional counseling (find a therapist at locator.apa.org or nacbt.org), suggests Esme Fuller-Thomson,
PhD, who coauthored the osteoarthritis study. Fend off osteoarthritis with strength training and seek treatment, such as biofeedback or medication, for headaches.
Watch Out for: Coronary Artery Disease and Breast Cancer
The symptom you've had: Your first menstrual period began before age 12.
The links: According to a British study, you are 23 percent more likely to develop coronary artery disease, in which plaque builds up inside your arteries, if you started menstruating early. One common denominator: extra body fat. Women who get their periods early tend to be heavy, and extra weight ups the odds for heart problems. The boost in breast cancer risk may be tied to a greater lifetime exposure to estrogen.
Protect yourself: Work hard to keep your heart healthy (see "Tune Up Your Ticker," page 133), get regular mammograms, and if there's a history of cancer in your family, consider genetic testing.

Educate A Child is a global programme that aims to significantly reduce the number of children worldwide denied their fundamental right to education; an extension of Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser of Qatar's mandate as a UNESCO Special Envoy on Basic and Higher Education, a United Nations Millennium Development Goal Advocate and a Steering Committee member of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Global Education First initiative.
Qatar Airways pledged its support to Educate A Child through signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the programme to bring quality primary education to millions of out of school children at a Plenary Session. The airline aims to provide support through its comprehensive suite of communication platforms beneficial in reaching a wide global passenger base to inform and showcase the initiative, including in-flight entertainment systems, in-flight magazines, web site and social media channels as well as financial donations collected on board and monetary contributions from the airline.
The Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to improving the treatment, quality of life, and long-term outlook for children with brain and spinal cord tumours. This is done through research, support, education, and advocacy to families and survivors. Qatar Airways supports the foundation by contributing to the annual benefit organized to raise funds for the foundation.
In 2008, Qatar Airways donated to the China Youth Development Fund to help those affected by China's Sichuan province earthquake.
The initiative, Project Hope, enabled Qatar Airways to fund two schools in the affected region. The funding helped build temporary school housing for 1,000 students and a permanent facility for 500 students.
We are proud to have been a part of China's rebuilding effort, particularly as it relates to the children representing China's future.
Children were given a special treat when they took to the skies for an exclusive flight over Qatar.
The joint initiative between Qatar Airways and the Qatar Orphan Foundation, Dhreima, was aimed at bringing fun and joy into the lives of children.
One hundred children, ranging in age from 5-16 years, were invited on the 20-minute flight. The air was full of anticipation and excitement as the children boarded from Doha International Airport—most had never been on an aircraft before.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker and Dhreima's General Director Khaled Kamal welcomed the children onboard and joined the special flight.

Now that the smoke has dissipated and the realization has set in that the University of Oregon is looking for a replacement for its most successful football coach in school history, what's next for a program which stands as the only one in the country to advance to four-consecutive BCS bowl appearances, is coming off back-to-back triumphs in the Rose and Fiesta Bowls, respectively, and has posted an unprecedented 12 wins each of the last three years?
Such is the task awaiting the Ducks' third-year athletics director Rob Mullens, who sat before a room full of inquiring members of the news media Wednesday afternoon in the Casanova Center seeking answers to questions following the departure of Oregon's fourth-year head coach Chip Kelly, who is expected to be introduced Thursday as the next head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
In four years at the Oregon helm, Kelly accumulated an astonishing overall record of 46-7, including a 33-3 ledger in conference play.
While Mullens stressed that he and the entire university are appreciative of the success Chip helped bring to the community, he emphasized that all thoughts now would be about moving forward to find Oregon's 31st football coach.
"We will move as expeditiously as possible but we do not have a specific timeline as to when we will be complete," Mullens said in reference to when Kelly's successor would be in place. "Obviously we are going to follow the appropriate policies and procedures relative to the university. We will maintain the confidentiality of the candidates just as we ask them to maintain confidentiality. We won't talk specifically about any candidates. When we have an announcement, we will present it to (the media).
"I got a call at 7:15 this morning from Chip and that was the first I've heard anything of Philly since we last talked about him staying.
"He made a decision that was best for him and we wish him well," Mullens added. "He's been great for Oregon football and we're moving on."
Mullens said that Kelly met Wednesday morning with those players in attendance at the regularly-scheduled morning workouts in the Moshofsky indoor practice facility and informed them of his decision.
"He just shared with them his decision," the Oregon athletics director reiterated. "(The players) are very respectful, as they always are. Everybody wants what's best for Chip. He related to them what I've always related to them, that this about the players – a player-driven culture and a player-driven organization, and he expressed confidence in the future."
Those were the same sentiments echoed by center Hroniss Grasu and safety Brian Jackson, who also met with members of the news media Wednesday afternoon.
"We have such great leadership on this team," Grasu professed. "After he finished talking, we sort of looked around and said, 'okay, let's go finish our workout now.' We know that it's our responsibility now to step up as leaders, get the squad together and keep this program moving in the right direction.
"Coach met with each of us individually after the meeting and I think he probably hugged all 110 of us," the junior-to-be added. "He was emotional and we could all tell that he truly loved us. He just explained the situation and we could tell he put a lot of thought into the decision. We respect him for it and we were really happy he came to us and was straightforward about how he told us."
Jackson, who enters his senior season in the fall heading a secondary that returns all starters, reiterated much of the same as his offensive counterpart.
"(Coach Kelly) kept it really simple. We were in the middle of our workouts and he called us all over and told us. He said that we were going to be just fine moving forward because it's really a player-run program.
"I just congratulated him and gave him a hug. I really appreciated how he came to us and told him how I was really looking forward to seeing how well he does at the next level. I could tell it was a really hard decision for him and commend him for telling us first."
While speculation has centered around Mullens already making a decision regarding Kelly's successor, he professed he would look at candidates both internally and externally to help insure his chances of making the right hire.
"We have a number of internal candidates," Mullens admitted. "Again, we've have a staff that has been highly successful for a long period of time, so we've got several coaches on our staff who have the experience and background to be head coaches. Those who have expressed interest, we will obviously talk to because they have played a key role in our success. But we will also talk to others outside of our program."
Oregon had loomed as the only FBS football staff in the country to remain intact over the last four years, with four of its nine assistants coaching at the school a minimum of 20 years through the tenures of three different head coaches.
So what will the Ducks be looking for in their next head coach, and will a similar style of offense to what has captured the imagination of fans across the country be important?
"The offense has been successful but that's not the only requirement," Mullens admitted. "What we want is someone who understands the culture that is unique here, not only within our football program but within our community. We want someone who has proven excellence and that has been around winning programs, who knows what it takes because expectations for this program have shifted. We want to compete for Pac-12 championships and we want to be in BCS bowls and we want someone who understands what it takes from A to Z: from recruiting to creating a culture of academic excellence, to understanding the role of that team in this department and this community, and then of course, on-field success."
Mullens said that if there was any one lesson he had learned from Kelly contemplating going to the NFL last year, it would be to keep the assistant coaches informed in regards to the situation as it unfolds.
"We set up a conference call (today) because they are all over the country and I felt the need to make sure that we have an open dialogue," Mullens said. "I talked to all of the assistants the weekend we got back from the Fiesta Bowl as Chip was doing the interview in Phoenix and if I learned anything last year, it's that I didn't communicate well enough with the assistant coaches - they felt out of the loop. So I made a pledge at that point to them and to myself that I would keep them in the loop as best as I could, knowing that some information is confidential. We set up a conference call mid-morning, mostly to tell them what I knew. By the time we got to it, much of what I knew had already been reported. And then I wanted to make sure that I could answer any of their questions. Again, there have been an awful lot of people that have been committed to the success of this program and they are critical, and this impacts them. Everybody always focuses on one person but this has an impact on a lot of people, and a lot of staff. I also met with some staff this afternoon that works with football, again, just to make sure we get their questions answered and they know exactly what's happening."
Given that the Oregon football program has made such a monumental impact on the surrounding Eugene/Springfield communities, the state of Oregon as well as on the national landscape of college football, Mullens issued the following message to fans who might be concerned about what lies ahead for the program.
"Oregon fans are some of the most loyal and passionate in all of sports," Mullens added. "And we are fortunate to have them. They've been here a very, very long time. I'm confident, because I've heard from a number of them already, that they are proud of where we are and they are committed to where we are going in the future, and they trust that we'll find the right leader."
In the spirit of the Ducks' former head coach, it's now 'next man up.'

Our weeks are busy and maybe too often we fail to realize how good we have it in northern Minnesota, or could it be only a few of us need to stop and realize that? I was on my way to one more meeting the other morning and my passenger noticed an eagle sitting in a tree. Then pretty much at that same time, we both noticed the road kill on the opposite side of the road. However because something didn't seem quite right, I changed my focus back to the oncoming traffic. The reason became obvious when my passenger said "There's a wolf!". As fortune would have it, I had my camera along and we had a couple minutes to spare, so I share these with you.
Eagles and wolves, a pretty good use for road kill I'd say. We watched on our way home from the meeting, hopefully to see that this guy had not suffered the same fate as his meal. It looked as though his food supply had been dragged off the road and there was no evidence of additional blood spilled, a good thing I'd say.
On to some other news. The Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway committee wrote a grant for us last year to which we were awarded nearly $240,000 to help with the recovery efforts after Ham Lake Fire. Those dollars combined with our regular program, we've planted over 1.3 million trees since the fire (that total is within Cook County, but a significant portion was in the Ham Fire area), we'll be planting another 150 acres in the fire area this year, we've seeded jack pine on about 1000 acres, released about 800 acres of trees that were planted after the fire and we're now starting our hazard tree removal along the Gunflint Trail. This work is oriented toward the end of the Gunflint and will cut and remove dead trees that could potentially fall onto the Gunflint Trail. That means roughly within a tree length of the county highway, the larger dead trees will be cut and removed. This summer, those areas where dead trees are removed will be evaluated for reforestation needs.
One more thing you might see starting up soon is our fuels reduction contract implementation. We received dollars through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (sometimes known as Economic Stimulus) for several types of projects and fuels reduction is one of those. In the area of Washington Pines we'll be removing some of the understory growth that has come in under the large pines, however, be sure that none of the pines will be cut. The smaller undergrowth is primarily balsam fir which is a very flammable species. If a wildfire were to get started within the Washington Pines area, the presence of the balsam fir would almost ensure the death of the pines. By removing the understory, we take steps to promote the long term health of the larger pines.
If you want to get a sense of what it will look like, simply drive by the pines and look on the north side of the highway. You'll note that you can see farther into the pines in a portion of the stand and that is because our fire crews have been working to remove the underbrush. Some people may like being able to see farther through the big pines, other may not. However evidence from across the country indicates our pines are safer without the balsam fir living in the understory.

Kido-O Bilbo
Bilbo is a new kind of toy-the elementary shells leave room for the child's imagination. Instead of imposing a specific play pattern, Bilibo is open for a wide range of interpretations and encourages the children to invent their own games, to play and have fun in an active and creative way. Indoors and outdoors in the sand pit , at the water or even in the snow-Bilibro is full of surprises.
Bilibro is a companion for children from the the first year onward and inspires a large variety of playing behaviors. According to their age and interests, children will use and interpret the shells in many different ways.
The soft, round shapes and strong colors stimulate the senses and the child's innate curiosity. They beg to be touched and handled. Toddlers will move them around, fill them with objects, sand or water and empty them again.
The shells can be aligned or stacked in many ways. Like three dimensional puzzle pieces, two shells are joined to form a sphere-a friendly face with a broad smile. Playfully the children train their sense of space as well as hand-eye coordination. When growing older, children will discover new ways of using the shells. Rocking and spinning for instance are great fun and help develop motor skills and the child's sense of balance.
Role-playing and make-believe games are vital for the child's social development and powers of imagination. Again Bilbo shines as a wonderful accessory and is swiftly turned into a cradle for puppets, a turtle shell, a drum, a cooking pot, a ship, or a hill with caves giving shelter to toy animals...the imagination of children knows no limits...

White House Wants to Put Perchlorate on Tap
The Bush administration this week will propose no change in the allowable level of perchlorate in drinking water, which leaves the standard 15 times greater than what Environmental Protection Agency staff scientists in 2002 said the science required, the Washington Post reported today. Anywhere from 16 million to 40 million Americans are exposed to dangerous levels of perchlorate, a rocket fuel component that affects the thyroid and causes brain development problems in fetuses and small children. Stricter regulation has been bogged down for most of this decade through political interference in scientific evaluation process orchestrated by the Pentagon and defense contractors, who would have to pay for any clean-up, environmentalists charge. The Post reported the latest proposal was heavily edited by the White House's Office of Management and Budget. "They have distorted the science to such an extent that
they can justify not regulating" the chemical, Robert Zoeller, a University of Massachusetts thyroid hormone expert, told the newspaper.
Every scientific panel that has considered the issue has called for more stringent standards that the EPA, including a National Academy of Sciences panel that had several members with ties to the chemical industry. That 2005 risk assessment recommended exposure levels not exceed 1 to 6 parts per billion (ppb) in drinking water. The 2002 EPA staff report called for a 1 ppb standard. Massachusetts has set a 2 ppb standard; California allows 6 ppb. The EPA's proposed rule would leave the standard at 15 ppb limit on perchlorate exposure, but even that high level would still expose between 16,000 and 28,000 pregnant women and 900,000 to 2 million Americans to higher levels, the Post reported.
GAO: Science Falling Behind at EPA
The Environmental Protection Agency's chemical risk assessment program is on the brink of collapse because of the agency's failure to keep its listings up to date, Congress' watchdog arm charged last week. Government Accountability Office (GAO) environment director John Stephenson told a House oversight panel that the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) is at "serious risk of becoming obsolete because of the inability for EPA to complete scientific analyses." The IRIS database, which is used by numerous regulatory agencies in the U.S. and abroad, contains the EPA's scientific conclusions about the risks to human health posed by exposure to about 540 chemicals, a small fraction of the thousands of chemicals now in commercial use. A coalition of four dozen environmental and public health organizations wrote EPA administrator Stephen Johnson opposing White House interference in the EPA's IRIS chemical assessment program.
The GAO's latest report also cited the absence of transparency in the Office of Management and Budget's latest changes to the IRIS risk assessment process, where OMB can now object to changes in the IRIS database without making its reviews available to the public (see perchlorate story above). Stephenson charged the lack of transparency eroded the credibility of the EPA assessments. The EPA completed just four chemical assessments in 2006 and 2007, and now has more than 70 chemicals pending review.
FDA Assailed for Choosing Biz-Backed BPA Studies
Public interest groups including the Center for Science in the Public Interest blasted the Food and Drug Administration at a public hearing last week for relying on industry-funded studies in its evaluation of the safety of bisphenol A, a chemical widely used in food packaging materials. The FDA's BPA draft assessment, released earlier this month, alleged that the chemical was safe at exposure levels routinely experienced by the general population. The FDA assessment dismissed numerous independent and government-funded studies that suggest elevated risk from exposure to the chemical, and instead relied on two studies funded by an arm of the American Chemistry Council, a trade organization representing chemical manufacturers. Employees of SABIC Innovative Plastics and Dow Chemical, which manufacture BPA, coauthored the two studies. The studies' lead author, Rochelle Tyl, of Research Triangle Institute in North Carolina, previously worked for the chemical industry and received research funding from the plastics industry.
Meanwhile, a study released on the eve of last week's FDA hearing linked BPA to increased risk of diabetes and heart disease in humans. The study joins other recent human tissue research showing metabolic effects from BPA exposure in adults. Previous studies, including the two that informed the FDA's conclusions, were conducted on rodents. Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA) demanded that FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach explain how the FDA decided which studies to use for its BPA risk assessment.
Journal Resection? Cancer Studies Go Unpublished
A study published in the journal Oncology last week found less than one in five cancer clinical trials registered in the government database ClinicalTrials.gov wind up in medical journals. Scott Ramsey and John Scoggins of the University of Washington warned that editorial bias against publishing negative results denies clinicians useful information since some of them may be using the ineffective regimens. "It is likely that many unpublished studies contain important information that could influence future research and present practice policy," the authors wrote. "Unpublished trials may have special importance in oncology, due to the toxicity and/or expense of many therapies."
Bill Seeks to Overturn Open Access Publishing
Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), chair of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, has introduced legislation that would overturn a National Institutes of Health policy that requires government-funded studies be made publicly available a year after appearing in proprietary academic journals. According to the journal Science (subscription required), compliance has risen to 56 percent of all NIH-funded papers since the House made public access with a 12-month time lag mandatory earlier this year. Attorney Jonathan Band, representing the American Library Association, told the committee last week that the Conyers proposal would "limit a lot of what the federal government can do" in terms of promoting open access. The legislation is not expected to go anywhere this year.
Odds and Ends
A bill to ban the use of asbestos in all products in the U.S. was referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week. . . . Officials at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said they will rescind efforts to end gray wolf protection in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies. A federal judge recently issued an injunction reinstating Endangered Species Act protections for the wolves. . . . The Food and Drug Administration opened a public comment period on new rules governing genetic engineering of animals for food, drugs or medical devices. Gregory Jaffe of the Center for Science in the Public Interest warned that the new rules won't "protect humans and the environment from all the potential risks that a genetically engineered animal may pose" and he urged that the scientific safety data be made available to the public before products are approved. . . . The Lancet has retracted a research paper by Austrian scientists who claimed to have cured 38 out of 42 women of stress incontinence using stem cell therapy after an Austrian government agency found serious ethical and procedural flaws in the clinical trial, the British Medical Journal reports . . . .
The National Institute of Mental Health abandoned its test of chelation therapy for autism, claiming the money would be better used testing other potential therapies for autism and related disorders, the Washington Post reported. . . . A congressional hearing began investigating the issue of pharmaceuticals in drinking water last week. The problem has been subject of an ongoing Associated Press investigation that last week reported that "hospitals and long-term-care centers intentionally discard an estimated 250 million pounds a year of unused pharmaceuticals and tainted packaging — and much of those drugs also go directly down drains toward water supplies."

At 9 a.m. Saturday, April 20, the German Heritage Festival 5K run and fun walk, which attracts runners from all over the state who each have their own story and reason for running the race.
The 5K and family fun walk, with registration from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. begins the German Heritage Festival, which has a number of German games, such as log throwing and pie throwing, commercial, non-profit and educational booths and a bratwurst cook-off with a plate lunch for sale.
"This is the sixth year for this 5K event," Melanie Baden, director of the museum, said. "This event is full of German heritage."
Baden said the race contains a number of racers who have competed since the race began, as well as first time runners.
"We have a number of fast female runners as well as fast male runners," Baden said.
"I am looking forward to be defending my title," Cody Fox, a senior at DeWitt High School, said.
Fox, a track athlete at DeWitt High School, has won many long distance runs, including last year's German Heritage 5K and the Lil Cheetah 5K Fundraiser last month in DeWitt
Brandon Bauman, who is running his first race at the German Heritage Festival, entered his first 5K — the Show a Lil Bit of Love for Asher Ray race — last September and decided to run again.
"I really enjoyed running and am looking forward to the race in April at the German Heritage Festival," Bauman said.
Lisa Pierce, who began racing at the German Heritage Festival in 2009, said the 5K race has become a family affair with her sister, Barbara Hildebrand and Hildebrand's daughter, Genea Quarrals, joining her.
"This year, both my sister and her daughter will not be able to race this year, but maybe next year.I hope to be there," Pierce said.
"Last year, it wasn't very nice running in the rain," Baden said, "but the festival continued in the rain."
Medals are awarded to the top three overall finishers in the race and the top three finishers in each age category.
For more information on the 5K and family fun walk and the festival, contact the museum at (870) 673-7001.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RandiH LOVE! This drink dispenser is really quite lovely. The glass and wood combination allows it to go with many different table settings. January 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Savateuse As beautiful as it is functional. This drink carafe is even more beautiful in person, heavy glass and the wooden lid is very attractive. I agree the stopper is a little cheap but can easily be replaced with a professional grade stopper from a restaurant supply store. I liked the first one so much I bough two more for my wedding. November 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JasmericaRAWR Love It I loooooveeeee it! I plan on putting my amazing home made juices in it. It gives it an elegant look with the fruit slices and what not. Not to mention its bigger than I thought! August 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sarahd88 Perfect for outdoor wedding. We used three of these for beverages at my outdoor wedding. They didn't break on us and were pretty cheap! There were a few air bubbles in the glass and a little shard upon arrival, but nothing a wash and a once over didn't fix. They are so lovely, I can't wait to use them for cookouts in the future. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shockalystic Love IT The thickness of the glass is great, the quality was better than I expected. The only thing is the liquid flows out a bit slow. March 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ehmuhlee Gorgeous This is such a beautiful serving piece. The only downside is the plastic spigot, which cheapens it a bit... but that problem can easily be solved by ordering a stainless replacement online. I am so pleased with this purchase and would love to buy another. November 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CU07 Recommended with reservations These are exactly what I need for my upcoming wedding. They're large, pretty, glass, and inexpensive. That said, the quality was a little less than I expected. One came with a chip on the front near the spout, and the other has several bubbles in the glass near the opening. They seem to be shaped slightly differently, and the lids fit differently on each. I hand-tightened the spigot before using it and I had no problems with leaks. The flow is a little on the slow side but doesn't seem unreasonable, and the plastic is pretty good quality. It shuts off tightly with no drips, and it feels almost like metal. I'm keeping them and don't mind the imperfections at the price I paid. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NashvilleOlive Nice shape with interesting lid I bought several of these dispensers online without seeing them in person first. The shape is different than the run of the mill cylinder and the wooden lid is a neat feature however the cheap-o plastic spigot may not make it through several seasons of use. But for the price, I guess I can chance it. Pro: cute Con: cheap plastic spigot August 6, 2013

Aurora Police say it happened on East Quincy Avenue near South Uravan Street along Quincy Reservoir.
Police say the driver of a 2002 Dodge Ram pickup, 49-year-old William Nale, hit Murphy as he was using a marked crosswalk to Summit Elementary School. Nale told police he could not see because of the morning sun.
Murphy was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries and passed away.

Sad to see this happen. Isn't the excuse always the sun? That's the excuse the guy had that hit me (even though a bunch of cars were going through the intersection in front of me). If you can't see, drive slow slow slow. Pay extra attention. No distractions.
Remember everyone, always pay attention to vehicles even if the light is in your favor and assume they might not stop. Law also says we must walk our bikes when using a crosswalk. Article does not say if he was riding or walking his bike in the crosswalk.

Valentine's Day Breakfast Party (41 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Theme: "Love is OWL you need". I was inspired to include owls in my theme when I spotted some cute owls at Pier 1 Imports around Christmas time.
Christine from Desserts and Designs created all of my printables and invitation. I thought it'd be so fun for the girls to wear their cute pijamas. You don't even have to host this party in the morning. You could host in the evening and have breakfast for dinner!
Food: I decided to keep it low key and make it a breakfast party. All kids love pancakes right? I pictured a cute stand where I could set the pancakes, strawberries, blueberries, yogurt, etc......
My husband was sweet enough to build me a stand for the party. It cost $30 for all the materials. I have to keep things on a budget these days because we host so many parties.
I made some small candy skewers. The candy and owl lollipops were purchased at the Dollar Tree.
The push pops had yogurt, granola and a strawberry on top.
Decorations: The stand was decorated with scraps of fabric, ribbon and yard sale items such as the turquoise and red lace around it. I made the heart garland with punched out hearts.
I printed some signs that Desserts and Designs provided.
I made the centerpiece on the girls' table with a recycled salt container.
Favors: I purchased the boxes from the Dollar Tree. There were sweethearts and owl soaps inside each box. The soaps were found at Pier 1 Imports.

Cloud Computing
All Cloud Computing Platforms are Not Equal
Cloud computing offers undisputed benefits in terms of agility and cost-effectiveness. But cloud computing platforms are not commodities, with one easily substituted for another. Chances are that some of your workloads can only run on-premises and some can only run in specific proprietary clouds. Once you move a workload to a proprietary cloud, it typically requires rewriting and/or reconfigurations to move back onsite.
Luckily you don't need to re-architect for different public cloud infrastructures. VMware cloud computing services let you run both new and legacy applications in the cloud. You get the best of both worlds: leverage your existing investments while still gaining the agility and cost-effectiveness of a public cloud.
Cloud Technology for New and Legacy Applications
If your existing infrastructure is built on VMware vSphere, used by more than 80% of businesses worldwide, you can take advantage of a true hybrid cloud solution and extend your data center to the cloud quickly, easily and confidently. Because VMware vCloud Air is built on vSphere, your onsite and offsite IT environments can be connected and integrated, running existing and new applications in exactly the same way. You can get the same performance, security and compliance as you do from your current VMware infrastructure with the same agility, automation and standardization available in the cloud.
Public, Private and Hybrid Clouds
The software-defined data center (SDDC) gives you the basis for building a private, public or hybrid cloud for delivering IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS). The SDDC architecture gives you a common management, orchestration, networking and security model across on-premises and off-premises environments.
- Build a vSphere-based private cloud on premises with vCloud Suite.
- Extend your vSphere-based data center to a public cloud with VMware vCloud Air or through our extensive ecosystem of vCloud Air Network service providers worldwide.
- Manage physical, virtual and hybrid cloud with a management solution built for heterogeneous, hybrid cloud with vRealize Suite.
Unified Management Platform
Policy-driven automation and management in a single unified management platform lets you centrally manage and monitor applications and workloads across heterogeneous infrastructure and hybrid clouds. vRealize Suite lets you increase business speed and agility while maintaining IT control and cost efficiency.

The state championships ( Campeonato Estadual de JiuJitsu) are always one of my favorite events it comes up about a month before the Worlds. This tournament is often used by top guys making come backs and new up and comers sharpening their swords. This year was no exception. We saw some hot action at this event. Nothing like watching the hot shots plow through a division submitting guys. We saw the return of Rafael "Gordinho" Correa, Gordo`s little brother. This was one event he had not won ever so he jumped in to fight.

An expresion used when a cluster fuck of mistakes causes you to have to start your project all over again.
I thought I would surprise my girlfriend by painting the livingroom. I took the paint chip to have mixed at the store not realizing it was the wrong color and I had it mixed in semi-gloss paint. ..and i was really surprised when my girfriend came home and I painted the wrong color in living room and with semi gloss. I had to retstart project over again, this time with the right color and type of paint. Oh! Fudgebucket!
