The goal of this project is to connect my clients, an urban family of 4, with the amazing rural land they own in upstate New York as their second home. Simplicity, ease of maintenance and the use of materials taken from the 90 acres are the guideposts that orient the project. This work is a sculptural examination of the subtle traces of cultural history and ecological processes on site.
The soil on the project is horrendous. It is a greasy mix of shale and clay that is prone both to drought and standing water depending on the ambient meteorological conditions. The deer pressure is intense with upwards of 40 deer per square mile. No irrigation system exists, nor can it as the well supplies very little water. The wind and cold conditions are extreme. This site was formerly a high pasture for cattle that had been left fallow as a result of its low productivity for a few decades before my clients bought this land. The clients are not avid gardeners. They are quite busy and they live on this site primarily on the weekends.

In the pantheon of rock icons, few lived harder and played more dynamically than Keith Moon, among the greatest rock and roll drummers of all time and the man who embodied The Who's frenetic energy and unconventional wit. Although his eccentric persona earned him the unflattering nickname of "Moon the loon," his innovative drumming garnered accolades and made him one of the rock genre's most influential percussionists. His sphere of influence was wide, and legend has it that Moon suggested to Jimmy Page that he use the name Led Zeppelin – rather than Page's New Yardbirds moniker. On September 7, 1978, Moon passed away at the age of 32, when he overdosed on medications prescribed to combat alcoholism. Thirty-three years later, Moon's legacy can still be heard in The Who's oeuvre – and beyond.
Keith John Moon was born August 23, 1946, the son of Alfred and Kathleen Moon, and raised in Wembley, England. He began playing drums at an early age and after a period performing with the surf rock group The Beachcombers, he joined Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle in London to form The Who. In their prime, the Mod "maximum R&B" outfit were a unit whose individual personalities fused into a larger-than-life whole. Pete Townshend provided the powerful rhythm guitar work and much of the material. Vocalist Roger Daltrey injected the songs with expressive muscularity and passion. Bassist John Entwistle anchored the band with his stoic demeanor and expert musicianship. Moon's presence was explosive and pervasive. Not content to simply keep time by playing the typical rock and roll backbeat, Moon cultivated an uncompromising, singular style that treated the drum kit as if it were an orchestra unto itself.
The raw power of the band and the explosive force of Moon's playing feature prominently on their first live album Live at Leeds (1970). Moon pushes the band further and further in songs like their cover of Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues." Early in the performance, Moon's pummeling drum fills ignite the band after each vocal line and close out each phrase. When the full tilt jam finally breaks out, Moon's drums sit at the edge of the beat – at once too fast and too overpowering for the song, but also just solid enough to keep it all from falling apart. This is not music made to a click track. Cymbals crash, tom-toms rumble, the snare rolls and somewhere underneath the bass drum pounds the floor with a frantic energy.
Moon's rapid-fire fills propelled tracks such as "I Can See For Miles" – The Who's biggest stateside single, reaching number nine – from The Who Sell Out, released in 1967. Moon's nuanced playing perfectly punctuated the sweeping drama of 1969's rock opera Tommy, including the iconic "Pinball Wizard;" and his pounding bass kicks, blistering pace rolls and punchy cymbal crashes helped launch 1971's Who's Next with "Baba O'Riley" and close on the epic "Won't Get Fooled Again." Moon's drum work helped lead the charge of "Who Are You?," the thundering groove and title track of 1978's Who Are You LP – Moon's final album with The Who.
There are also famous moments where we can hear Moon's playing outside of the Who, as on Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Beck's Truth (1968) album, where a band consisting of Beck, Moon, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Aynsley Dunbar crank out the blistering "Beck's Bolero."
Moon's playing would influence everyone from Mitch Mitchell to Larry Mullen, Jr. to Dave Grohl.

Husbands & Wives
By Rebecca Teti
Thursday: Marriage
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Struggling in your marriage? Have some relationship advice to share? Have a marriage success story to share? Have a man/woman question? This weekly thread is the place to do it.
Come on in and join the conversation!
So I am feeling a bit brokenhearted and am looking for a reality check/ words of wisdom. My husband and I have been married for 9 years, all of which have been spent in his hometown (2500 miles away from where I grew up). We see my parents 2-3 times per year, which is hard, but we stay connected through phone calls and Skype. The issue is that during my parents' last visit, they looked at some properties in our area with the idea that, if they had a home here, they might come for more visits or stay for longer periods of time. I am thrilled by this - for myself and for our children - but my husband is very upset. He has told me several times that it would be "extremely hard" for him if they were to have a home here and that it will upset him greatly if they make a purchase. They are my parents, so I am biased, but they really are easy to get along with - quiet, unassuming, and definitely not intrusive or needy. If they knew of his feelings, they would never look at another house, I am sure. They are in their mid-70's and both have health problems that are likely to become disabling in the future. So I am quite anxious to get good quality time in with them, particularly with their grandchildren, to whom they are quite devoted. I know relationships with in-laws can be hard, but I really am having trouble seeing things from my husband's perspective. I feel caught in the middle...
Sad Wife, based on the details that you have provided, it certainly sounds like your husband is being unfair. What exactly is his objection to them owning a home locally? Does he find them annoying? What exactly is he worried about? Unless he can give you a good reason, I really think he's being unreasonable. It can only benefit your children to have more time with their grandparents, and you as well. I would hope he would have some empathy for the fact that your contact with them has been somewhat limited since marrying him and moving near his family.
Hello Sad wife, I am sorry for your situation. I will pray for you. What is the cause for your husband's dislike of your parents? Maybe with this information you can try to assure your husband that you will work on making that better. I live closer to my in-laws than my parents but my husband has said that he would be more than willing to have them come up and live around us, even on the same property. They have different political views, but he knows thatthey are family and that they are important to me and to my children. He inds ways to truly enjoy their company. I get along well with his family. It seems to me that there has to be a cause or maybe he is just being selfish and thinks that maybe if they move closer you might not be as focused on him as you are now? Prayers for you!
If your husband has a contentious relationship with your parents, where he feels like they are very critical of him, then I can see why it might be "extremely hard" for him to have them "nearby". If he is complaining that your helping to care take of them will take attention away from him, then he is being just plain selfish. I'm sorry. I come from a culture where we honor and care for our elders and, in some cases, bring them in to live with us--especially as they grow older and increasingly frail. You say your parents are in their 70's and have health problems. They Will Need You. He needs to understand that. From what I read, your parents are not asking to live in your house. They just want to be close. If he doesn't want to be around when they visit, he can go elsewhere. But it's not fair of him to have a tantrum because you want to have your parents close and be there for them.
I agree with a couple of posters above, Sad wife--especially Montira. I think some people are not very mature, yet, and simply think of themselves instead of families and what may be best for ALL. I think your parents have every right to move closer, if they wish to spend more time with you and your kids. My husband and my Mum have a very tenuous relationship, at best, but he would never say anything against having her move across the state to be closer. He knows that she loves me and our children, and it would be wonderful if she were closer--she is also in her 70's. I don't know the whole story, but I think he is acting rather childish and selfish. Perhaps he doesn't need to know everything your parents are deciding about their life and whether they want to move closer---and you do NOT need to share his mean-spirited comments with your parents. I will pray for peace for you, good luck.
No counselor required in the PA diocese where we married in 1997. Either Engaged Encounter weekend or pre-Cana and FOCUS test reviewed with our priest.
I live in Texas. We took a FOCUS test and then met with the parish deacon to review the results. We had a 6-8 week marriage course, meeting with the parish priest, NFP classes, but never had to see a licensed counselor.

Desk Reference to Nature's Medicine

About Me Everyday Reader
Best Uses
Comments about Desk Reference to Nature's Medicine - Hardcover:
Book is dated 2006. Since then research into natural medicinal plants has continued at a fast pace. Probably a thorough review is a good idea and would renew interest in this very useful reference book.Especially I miss listings of very important plants like Moringa oleifera, Agave intermixta or antellarum, Cissus sicyoides, and Aloe arborescens (in addition to the very useful description of Aloe vera = barbadensis), all very useful in strengthening the immune system, preventing and even fighting if not curing different types of cancer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

i would give up the internet
i guess if it was the ordinary but still. that thing looks STUPID, way too many buttons to push.. typos must suck on that bitch
i wonder if the japanese sensor their keyboard then? i can't see them printing out swear words onto every keyboard.
well I don't know a lot about the Japanese language, but I think only really simple words like water, love, or air, get their own distinct letters, other words are like combinations
I also believe they don't use traditional letters usually on the internet, that much be a professional keyboard for like a Japanese script person
Pichubro should be here, she knows this shit
i was expecting a pichubro ice breaker post haha
Japanese use these keyboards
the one above is a crazy chinese keyboard. a japanese keyboard can use english letters to convert to japanese writing, but I don't think the chinese have an easy way to do that.
japanese has a more alphabet type orthography. i think they do have a more formal orthography more like chinese though but mostly use their alphabet.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
If you are using a Japanese keyboard, you can type
and if you press the space bar it converts to まっすぐ行け

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Urology hospital in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report.
Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) is a treatment for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
During laser PVP surgery, a tube with an imaging system (cystoscope) is inserted into the penis. A surgeon places a laser through the cystoscope to burn away (vaporize) excess prostate tissue. This eases blockage of the urethra and enlarges the opening to allow better urine flow during urination.
Laser PVP surgery is an effective and less invasive alternative to older, more traditional methods of removing prostate obstructions. Because laser PVP surgery vaporizes tissue rather than cutting or scraping it, there's generally less blood loss — which can make the procedure a good choice for men who have blood-clotting conditions or those who take blood thinners.
Researchers continue to study long-term results of prostate laser surgery, including laser PVP surgery.

Who is watching it right now?
Who is watching it right now?
I should be watching it at a party, but I'm not into football, so I never went.
watching it
woot colts ^_^
the colts are winning
well, you gotta be pretty hot to be in the superbowl. and i don't mind if the colts win, they're actually my second favorite team, i have folks in indiana
I didn't watch it. I was busy doing my science project on albinism. I couldn't care less about football or any other sport for that matter. The only sport I've ever actually liked is fencing.
I watched it. I embraced it. I won $50.
I laugh at everyone who said "Chicago relies less on passing so they'll score a lot more even if the ball is slippery."
Rex Grossman must want to kill himself.
GO COLTS!!! 2 heck wit the first black coaches, theres a more important fact. It's the first time too coaches are bald!!!

Stages of Stomach Cancer
Doctors need to know the stage of stomach cancer you have in order to decide what treatment to recommend. The stage is based on the size and extent of the tumor, the number of lymph nodes involved, and how far the cancer has spread. Your doctor gets this information from your biopsies, imaging tests, examination of the contents removed during surgery, and any other exams done. Staging studies for stomach cancer may include a CT scan, an endoscopic ultrasound, and laparoscopy (with or without ultrasound).
Staging for stomach cancer may not be complete until after surgery. The surgeon takes out nearby lymph nodes and may take samples of tissue from other areas in your abdomen. To check for cancer cells, a pathologist examines all contents removed during surgery. Pathologists are specially trained doctors who interpret the changes caused by disease in tissues. Decisions about treatment after surgery depend on these findings.
The most common way doctors describe the stage of stomach cancer is with the TNM system.
The TNM system
When you receive a diagnosis of stomach cancer, the doctor needs to know what stage the cancer is in. The American Joint Committee on Cancer has developed a standard system of describing the extent of a cancer's growth, which is the stage. This system is known as the TNM System. The TNM system is the most common one used to stage stomach cancer.
Here is what the letters stand for in the TNM system:
T refers to the size of the tumor in the stomach.
N refers to whether the lymph nodes in the area of the stomach have become cancerous.
M refers to whether the cancer has spread--metastasized--to other, distant organs in the body, such as your liver or lungs.
Stage groupings of stomach cancer
Once the doctor determines your T, N, and M stages, stage grouping is created. Stage grouping is used to determine your overall disease stage. It is expressed most often in Roman numerals from 0 (the least advanced) to IV (the most advanced stage). According to the National Cancer Institute, the following stage groupings are used for staging stomach cancer:
Stage 0. Also known as carcinoma in situ, the cancer is found only in the innermost layer of the stomach wall, called the mucosa, and has not spread anywhere else.
Stage I. The cancer has grown in one of these ways:
It is in the first and second layer of the stomach wall (mucosa and submucosa) and has spread to up to one or two lymph nodes very close to the tumor.
The cancer is in the first and second layer of the stomach wall, and has also invaded the muscle layer. It has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
Stage II. The cancer has grown in one of these ways:
It is only in the second layer of the stomach (submucosa) and has spread to seven to three or more lymph nodes very close to the tumor.
It is in the third and maybe the fourth layer of the stomach wall (muscularis and subserosa) and has spread to one to six nearby lymph nodes.
The cancer has gone through the outermost layer of the stomach wall. It has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
Stage III. The cancer has grown in one of these ways:
It is in the outermost layer of the stomach will (serosa) and has spread to one or two lymph nodes near the tumor
It is in the third layer of the stomach wall (the muscle layer) or subserosa and has spread to three or more lymph nodes.
It has penetrated through all five layers of the stomach wall (including the outer layers called the subserosa and the serosa). The cancer has spread to one to 15 lymph nodes very close to the tumor.
Stage IV. The cancer has spread to distant parts of the body.
Recurrent disease. Recurrent disease means that the cancer has come back (recurred) after it has been treated. It may come back in the stomach or in another part of the body, such as the liver or lymph nodes.

Spring Break: No longer partying like it's 1989
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 8:08 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Balancing a pineapple on her head, Sarah Shaffer walked across a wooden plank before climbing up a wall and jumping into a pit of inflatable bananas and pineapples.
Still rowdy?
Crime statistics show a general decrease in incidents during Spring Break locally, while police have been busier in Daytona Beach's rival destination, Panama City Beach.
The Daytona Beach Police Department reports an overall 46 percent decrease in arrests during Spring Break citywide from 2007 to 2012, which includes everything from liquor law violations to burglaries. There were 579 arrests during Spring Break in 2012 compared to 1,070 in 2007. Liquor law violations decreased 23 percent, from 162 in 2007 to 125 in 2012.
The state Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco made 36 arrests for underage alcohol possession in March last year, which was down from 71 over the same period the year before. Agents have made 46 arrests over the first half of the month this year. Compare that to Bay County and Panama City Beach, where agents made 1,800 arrests last year (up from 1,590 the year before) and 231 between March 1-15 this year.

Despite windy and cool temperatures, more than 30 students eagerly lined up one day last week and rooted for friends as they went through an obstacle course promoting Del Monte Fresh Produce and "healthy, fun lifestyles."
The atmosphere was a sharp contrast to the Spring Break heydays of the late '80s and '90s when students packed Volusia County beaches and filled pool decks while cars lined State Road A1A bumper-to-bumper on their way to MTV concerts at the Bandshell.
Back in those days, companies distributed boxes of cigarettes and condoms. Compare that with last week, when hundreds of students seemed content to receive free Del Monte T-shirts, fresh fruit and sunglasses.
"We're not really party people," said Shaffer, 21, who came with fellow classmates from Ohio State University. "We've been out dancing and playing putt-putt golf. We thought it would be fun to come somewhere warm."
"We're looking forward to go-karts," added friend Michaela McConnell, 20. "There's still stuff to do when you're underage."
Local hotels, Spring Break organizers and law enforcement officials said students are calmer than in the past, partly because the area is not marketing to the large crowds. They'd rather shed the sex-and-drugs image, as portrayed in the movie "Spring Breakers," which opens this week and features four college women who go on a crime-spree to fund their vacation excesses on the west coast of Florida. Twenty years ago, the movie — starring 2013 Daytona 500 grand marshal James Franco — might have been filmed locally.
But the days of 300,000 college students descending on Daytona Beach — as Mid-Florida Marketing & Research reported in 1989 — are over, said Evelyn Fine, the company's president.
These days, Fine said, college students "really sort of disappear in the masses. They are not an obvious presence in the tourism mix."
Police and the Volusia County Beach Patrol say they still deal with drinking violations, including open containers on the beach and underage alcohol possession, but the problems, generally, are not at the levels of the past.
"About 10 years ago, it was a little more challenging for us to deal with the kids — and getting the word out that alcohol is not allowed on the beach," said Beach Patrol Capt. Tammy Marris.
Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood said he doesn't find "vomit all over the place" along A1A, students tossing furniture off balconies and the empty bottles and public urination that he used to see when he became chief seven years ago.
"They were more out of control in the past," Chitwood said. "I don't think people (and hotels) tolerate that anymore. We want a good image to have for the city and tourism year-round."
Tourism leaders pitch the area as a destination for family spring breaks and business travelers, according to Jeff Hentz, president of the Daytona Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau. He said a reputation for wild-and-crazy spring breaks could "scare away" the types of business the area hopes to attract.
"I just think the image that comes along with being a Spring Break college destination creates more challenges than benefits," Hentz said. "We don't go out and promote Spring Break. We leave that up to the few hotels that are engaging in that market."
Some hotels, though, would like to see more marketing to bring in additional students.
"We want to introduce (Daytona) to as many young people as we can and send them home safe with wonderful memories so they will come back in years to come," said Scott Edwards with the Daytona Beach Welcome Center.
Edwards, who works with several area hotels to market to college students, thinks the Daytona Beach area is missing out when the visitors bureau doesn't promote to college students.
"The college students of today are a lot more sophisticated. They have credit cards and their own automobiles," Edwards said. "The days of 40 college students on a bus with a keg of beer in the back is over."
While no one has solid numbers on college students this year, Edwards said several thousand were here the first week of March and those numbers are up over last year.
Razzle's Nightclub on Seabreeze Boulevard is seeing about 900 college students on the weekends, though the numbers are down from three years ago with the economy and area leaders "not putting the welcome mat out," according to Kyriakos Drymonis, who owns Razzle's and the Oyster Pub with his brother.
Drymonis, whose family has run Razzle's for 26 years, doesn't want to see Spring Break return to its "unmanageable" days — but he would hate to see it go away.
"I want to see it at a point where all businesses can benefit from it," he said. "We certainly need it."
Hotel operators give the event mixed reviews.
"I have more Spring Breakers this week than last year at this time," said Michel Gignac, general manager of the Hawaiian Inn Beach Resort, who estimates business is up 5 percent. "I do wish there were more — but not out-of-control. These are our future customers."
But other hotels, such as the Bahama House and Plaza Resort & Spa, have found their niche with families.
"If we can stay busy with the bikers and the families, than that is the market we are going after," said Kerry Mitruska, director of sales and marketing for the Plaza Resort, which had some college students last week and supported Del Monte's healthy living efforts along with neighboring hotels.
Recent visitors said they came to enjoy the sun, meet people and party. Some said Daytona Beach was cheaper than destinations like Panama City Beach. Others called the local beach prettier than other Florida options.
Joseph Strozier, 23, a junior from Youngstown State University in Ohio, described Daytona as a "nice chill spot. A place where we can have fun, go to bars and various clubs to try to dance."
Taylor Kool, 21, a junior from Asbury University in Kentucky, said his group of nine were split on what they wanted to do.
"If you want to be calm, you can be calm and if you want to be rowdy, you can find rowdy," Kool said. "We just want to relax and get away from school and classes."

Titanicsailed into theaters December 19, 1997. "After it came out, I'd say, 'I did the dead people for James Cameron,' and, whoa, everyone wanted to talk to me," Weiner says. The instant cachet helped boost her sales. Two years later, she came up with a spin-off idea. While she painted visitors' faces at a Halloween convention, a reporter asked who made the best Halloween makeup. In a burst of inspiration, she replied, "I do. It's called Bloody Mary."
With her novelty makeup line launched, it only made sense for her to also produce fake blood, fangs and a slew of other vampire-related accessories aimed at the burgeoning goth teen market. She no longer worked on horror flicks but still enjoyed the challenge of creating realistic monsters. A bonus: She could sell the "blood" to the U.S. government for disaster drills and to film studios for special effects. "Gore is a year-round business," she says.
Bobbie Weiner Enterprises' sales hit the $1 million mark in 2007, and today annual sales exceed $3 million. Weiner lives outside Fort Worth, Texas, where she runs her business from a 3,000-square-foot warehouse decorated with Halloween convention freebies, like shrunken plastic skulls and little rubber duckies with devil's horns. She dresses in T-shirts, jeans and a cowboy hat, and the only trace of her former luxurious Hollywood lifestyle is a fondness for designer shoes ("I've been poor and rich—and rich is better"). She'd rather work than play tennis, and travels 26 weeks a year, speaking at conventions or visiting the 252 contract workers who make and package her wares in a California facility. She likes to spend weekends experimenting with products and colors. "I was pouring fake blood all morning," she said recently.
Among her proudest achievements, she says, are the awards she's received from the Department of Defense for her camouflage paint. She still personally attends military and hunting trade shows, touting her wares at a 10-foot-long booth beneath two American flags. "But these days," she says with a smile, "when the military comes calling, they don't look for a guy named Bob. They ask for me."

Baltimore County News
Andrea Van Arsdale, Director
Baltimore County Department of Planning
Have you ever ventured out past the Beltway and begun to notice office buildings, retail centers, and residential communities giving way to agricultural fields, pastures, and wooded stream valleys? These areas are not just beautiful scenery and they didn't stay green by accident. The open fields and forested areas protect the tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay, shield the waterways from suburban runoff, and provide habitat for wildlife pressured by development.
You may wonder, how have these areas have managed to remain rural? Since 1967, Baltimore County has been protecting its agricultural and environmental resources through responsible and sustainable land use policies and regulations. As a result, we have a legacy of sustainable growth and remain a national leader in this movement.
Last year, the Maryland legislature passed Senate Bill 236, introducing similar land use strategies statewide. SB236 calls for all jurisdictions to classify their land according to four distinct growth tiers that define levels of residential development. Under the direction of County Executive Kamenetz, the Planning Department solicited input from a broad spectrum of stakeholders. Building upon that information and following the implementation guidelines from the State, the Planning Department established and mapped our four growth tiers. Within the County's rural areas, the growth tiers set the number of houses served by individual septic systems. This serves to further prevent suburban sprawl and to encourage investment in the County's established neighborhoods and older Beltway communities – the essence of smart growth.
Baltimore County's Growth Tiers received highly favorable recognition from the Maryland Department of Planning and 1000 Friends of Maryland. We were proud to be one of the first in the state to submit our growth tiers map, especially since it was approved with no changes by the state. The County's strong land use policies and regulations will help ensure the preservation of our agricultural heritage and the future health of the Chesapeake Bay.

For more recent info on NVLink, check out the post, "How NVLink Will Enable Faster, Easier Multi-GPU Computing".
NVIDIA GPU accelerators have emerged in High-Performance Computing as an energy-efficient way to provide significant compute capability. The Green500 supercomputer list makes this clear: the top 10 supercomputers on the list feature NVIDIA GPUs. Today at the 2014 GPU Technology Conference, NVIDIA announced a new interconnect called NVLink which enables the next step in harnessing the full potential of the accelerator, and the Pascal GPU architecture with stacked memory, slated for 2016.
Stacked Memory
Pascal will support stacked memory, a technology which enables multiple layers of DRAM components to be integrated vertically on the package along with the GPU. Stacked memory provides several times greater bandwidth, more than twice the capacity, and quadrupled energy efficiency, compared to current off-package GDDR5. Stacked memory lets us combine large, high-bandwidth memory in the same package with the GPU, allowing us to place the place the voltage regulators close to the chip for efficient power delivery. Stacked Memory, combined with a new Pascal module that is one-third the size of current PCIe boards, will enable us to build denser solutions than ever before.
Outpacing PCI Express
Today a typical system has one or more GPUs connected to a CPU using PCI Express. Continue reading

Women's Soccer Ends Road Swing with Win at Saint Joseph's
|Game 5: Princeton at Saint Joseph's
| 1
Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013
| 0
Box Score
Princeton outshot Saint Joseph's 20-11 overall and 8-4 on goal. The 20 shots were the most Princeton had in a game since Oct. 10, 2012 against Lehigh, when the Tigers also had 20 shots. Lauren Lazo had a game-high six shots.
Tyler Lussi scored for the fourth time in her five games as a Tiger, launching a ball from 30 yards out that found the back of the net in the 83rd minute. It was her third shot of the game, second of the second half and it came in her first career start.
• Princeton kept its series sweep of Saint Joseph's going with the win. The Tigers beat the Hawks in 2007 and 2012, with this year bringing the first game in Philadelphia.
• Princeton had its first penalty kick try of the season, but Saint Joseph's keeper Lauren Jancuska snuffed out Lauren Lazo's attempt in the 69th minute.
• The teams dealt with a light malfunction delay of 45 minutes that came with 29 minutes to go in the game.
• Last Thursday night, it was lightning, not lighting, that delayed the Tigers and that night's game at Seton Hall was postponed to Friday. It resulted in Princeton playing three games in a five-day span for the first time since 1993. This time, Princeton made out better against Seton Hall, Rutgers and Saint Joseph's, going 1-1-1, than it did 20 years ago against Villanova, James Madison and Dartmouth, going 0-3.
• Princeton's 3-1-1 record is its best through five games since 2008, when the Tigers were 3-1-1 in the first season at Roberts Stadium.
• Tuesday night was the first time since Oct. 12, 2011 against Lehigh that a freshman had the only goal for the Tigers in a 1-0 win. Gabrielle Ragazzo had the winner in that one.
Sunday at 1 p.m., the Tigers will host William & Mary (3-1-2) for the first time since 2001. The teams have met six times, most recently in 2011, with the Tribe having won five of the six meetings. William & Mary will host Penn Friday before traveling to Princeton.

Can the hotel only recommend, were very accommodating and very friendly. Despite initial booking for two people there were but four people, but it was no problem at all and you have laid us for four people. In addition, we arrived late at night and the key handover worked fine as discussed. Thanks again :))
Have felt very comfortable and would not hesitate to book again :))
Kann die Unterkunft nur empfehlen, waren sehr entgegenkommen und sehr freundlich. Trotz anfänglicher Buchung für zwei Personen wurden es dann doch vier Personen, dennoch war es überhaupt kein Problem und man hat uns für vier Personen gebettet. Zudem kamen wir spät in der Nacht und die Schlüssel übergabe hat wie besprochen bestens geklappt. Danke nochmals :))
Haben uns sehr wohl Gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder hier buchen :))
Een leuk appartement met een mooie prijs/kwaliteits verhouding
Met een Vriendelijke gastheer en gastvrouw
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.
Convenient to 3 metro lines; furnished; pictures of small rooms accurate; elevator. Shelves and dishes grimy; very noisy street (major road to airport) during week; no trash cans; smelly towels poorly laundered; some musty smells throughout; no Internet (borrowed from neighbor, though).
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Rated 5 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lee297 Great for Displays I used the medium size basket for Front Door Thanksgiving and Christmas displays instead of the usual "wreath". These are very sturdy and look beautiful! There are so many uses for these! December 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mommyAdin I Love It! My sister-in-law first bought me a couple of baskets from this site and one of them is the Big size Rachael Wall Basket. I love it so much I decided to order three more- one big size and two small sizes. The big ones are perfect for our hallway to store our shoes and have it organized. The small ones are perfect to hold your mail or some magazines. Great baskets for organization. I am going to buy a couple more of the big wall baskets in the future for another shoe storage in the hallway. The handle on the back gives you the option of hanging it on the hook, or screwing it on the wall, which is nice and sturdy. I am happy with my baskets and yes I do recommend it to others. October 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JandSsMom Love it! The small basket fits perfectly behind the bathroom door, holding magazines neatly and out of sight! A little tricky to get the attached hardware to slot on to the wall screws because of the angle, but once it was on it felt totally secure. Price was great - couldn't be happier! April 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SBK419 Perfect I purchased 2 small baskets, one for the inside front door and one for the outside back gate. They were the perfect size. April 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eliza Wonderful baskets! These wall baskets are just what I was looking for to keep my dish towels and dish clothes handy and they are working just perfectly. I ordered the two small and two medium sizes. The medium size is great for keeping magazines and children's books and the small is perfect in my office for envelopes etc. Although they were backordered at the time I purchased them, it was only a couple of weeks till I received them. They are good quality and seem to be holding up very well. April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by winterstorage love them! I just got my baskets in the mail and love them. I have a basket hanging under each of my children's coats with their stocking cap, gloves, scarves, etc. Wish I had one for myself and my husband, but they are out of stock online now, unfortunately. January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dianasuer Sturdy and Beautiful Baskets These baskets are very beautiful and very well made. I bought them to hold my koozies. The medium holds my can koozies, and the small holds my bottle koozies. I am very pleased with them. November 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jeansandtshirtschick Would be nice to have known approx. size of small & medium baskets... I ordered 2 small and one medium. The small sizes (approx. 10x10x4) are perfect for hanging on a coat rack near the back and front doors - holds dog leash, brush and bug spray. The medium? (approx. 14x13x7) Hmm... I'm still not sure where I can hang something that protrudes 7 in. from the wall. Mounted up high you can't see contents, but lower down on wall creates something to bump into. (small house, wide hips ;-) I'll find somewhere. October 10, 2013

SEATTLE -- Sophomore Shelby Houlihan took fourth place while the Arizona State University men were sixth overall at the NCAA West Regional Cross Country Championships on Friday.
Houlihan's finish matched the seventh-best finish in ASU history at the Regional meet and is the best finish since Amy Hastings took second in 2005. While not all cross country courses are built the same, Houlihan clocked a time of 19:50 at the Jefferson Park Golf Course in the fastest time run by a Sun Devil over a 6,000-meter race, beating her own record of 19:58 set earlier this season - a school record previously held by the Olympian Hastings.
With the finish, Houlihan earned an automatic qualification to the NCAA Championships as an individual competitor.
Macy Bricks ran the best race of her season as the team's second finisher, taking 55th overall in 21:04 and senior Natasa Vulic in 67th overall followed her in 21:13.
Rounding out the field for the Sun Devil women was Hailey Hanna in 101st and Payton Schutte in 102nd, each clocking in at 21:38.
The women were 12th overall with 329 points, just 24 points out of ninth, while Oregon won the team championship with 64 points.
The Sun Devil men will be on the edge of their seats awaiting the NCAA to announce the national championship field of 31 teams following a sixth-place run on Friday.
Senior Nick Happe took All-West Region honors for the second consecutive season with a 25th-place finish in 30:18 to pace the Sun Devils for the second consecutive week.
There was then a pack of Sun Devils across the line to round out the scoring for ASU as redshirt freshman Ryan Herson had one of his best runs of his young career with a 44th-place finish in 30:30 in the team's first 10,000-meter run of the season.
Redshirt junior Steven Schnieders was next across the line for ASU in 47th place in 30:31. Seniors Zach Zarda and Darius Terry rounded out the scoring in 50th and 52nd in 30:33 and 30:36, respectively.
With the finish, the Sun Devils will enter the NCAA selection process as a bubble team - a position the team is familiar with after just missing advancing to the NCAA Championships the past two seasons.
Stanford was the men's team champion with a dominating effort, scoring 45 points. ASU finished with 218 points.
An update on the men's team's qualification process will be available at www.thesundevils.com when the final entry lists are released.

What Did You Hear?
By Rebecca Teti
Saturday: What Did You Hear?
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Let's try an experiment with this weekend's Coffee Talk. Taking a page from an exercise Amy Welborn used to use at her old blog, what did you hear in the homily at Mass this weekend?
What did the priest preach about? What insights or resolutions did you take away? Was religious liberty mentioned during this Fortnight for Freedom kickoff weekend?
Last night the priest talked about how everyone, Christian or not, has crosses in life. And uniting our crosses to Christ's results in resurrection.
We attended a Mass prior to a Fortnight for Freedom prayer vigil at the U.S. Capitol. Archbishop Lori of Baltimore celebrated and he preached about the the legacy of St. Thomas More. He made a humorous distinction regarding the Gospel passage. At first Christ asks about the opinion polls: who do people say I am? And it's easy for the disciples to say what others think --within the margin of error :). But what Christ calls for next is not opinion, but a profession of faith --what do YOU say? Archbishop Lori tied that to St. Thomas' witness and further tied that to lay people standing up for religious liberty today. Is the need exaggerated? Isn't this just a dumb rule we can overlook? St. Thomas More, he pointed out, went to his grave over a dumb rule because it violated his conscience. He was more eloquent than this summary, but that was the nub.
Am from Abuja,Nigeria. Today, the priest simply based his homily on the question Our Lord asked His apostles. Who is Jesus to each and every one of us? What position does He occupy in my life? In your life? Does He have a say in our decision making? Be sincere to ure heart and do an Examination of Conscience!
Father focused on each of taking up our cross and doing it willingly. Also asked us to reflect on all our relationships to see if our treatment/behavior were crosses to others. I had not thought about it in that perspective....but after some reflection I can see where I need to not be someone else's cross.
I heard my 1-year old, mostly. Got bits and snatches of a plea for monetary help from a Dominican missionary from Africa.
Thanks for this topic, Rebecca. I'm in a similar camp to Carolyn A with little ones so I appreciate hearing from the others.

text: Jason Marsalis enters a world of jazz vibraphone Jason Marsalis enters a world of jazz vibraphone Photo provided by Girlie Action Media & MarketingJason Marsalis will perform in Zatarain's/WWOZ Jazz Tent at 1:20 p.m. Saturday, April 27. Advocate story Comments Jason Marsalis' third album for Basin Street Records arrived in February, 13 years after his previous release for the New Orleans record company. A member of the New Orleans family of jazz musicians that includes his brothers Wynton, Branford and Delfeayo and their pianist father, Ellis, Jason Marsalis made his initial mark in the jazz world as a drummer. Shifting instruments, he takes center stage as a vibraphonist for recently released In A World of Mallets. After 1998's Year of the Drummer and 2000's Music in Motion, Marsalis stepped away from recording as a band leader. He had some shedding to do. "I knew that I wanted to explore the vibes and do that as a leader," he explained. "So I took some time." Marsalis got a vibraphone, a melodic percussion instrument in the same family as xylophone, marimba and glockenspiel, in the early '90s. He didn't do much with it until he left the Latin-Afro-Cuban jazz band he'd formed with Irvin Mayfield and Bill Summers, Los Hombres Calientes. "I looked at the vibes," he recalled, "and I said to myself, 'They're just sitting there. You need to do something with them.' So that's when I started practicing more and doing shows with them." The vibes opened new possibilities for Marsalis' composing and performing. "It's a melodic instrument," he said. "It's another avenue to express my musical ideas." In the big wide world of music, vibraphone hasn't had anywhere near the number of players and composers that more commonly played instruments have had. "We can name 10 trumpet players and 10 saxophone players who played in jazz music, in a minute," Marsalis said. "But you can't do that for 10 vibraphone players. You'd name a few but then you'd have to think about it." Ironically, after Marsalis got serious about playing vibes, multiple other players of the instrument moved to New Orleans. Far from being territorial, he welcomes them. "Because it makes the instrument more visible," he said. "More people can see that it can be a melodic lead instrument. Not a lot of people know about it." Marsalis formed the Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet in 2006. The group features pianist Austin Johnson, bassist Will Goble and drummer Dave Potter. He had no hesitation about turning his former spot, the drums, over to Potter. "Oh, no," he said. "Because I'm focused on playing the vibraphone and what I have to do to play it right. The other reason is I'm interested in whatever drummers can develop. Dave wanted to play this music and that's fine with me." In A World of Mallets, a profusely imaginative album filled with melodies and multiple genres, variously swings, waltzes and gets the blues. "There's a sound that I believe in, but aside from that the music can be endless," Marsalis explained. In A World of Mallets contains Marsalis' compositions as well as pieces by members of his quartet and New Orleans pianist and former Baton Rougean Brian Coogan. . "One, I'm interested in not only playing my music but playing other people's music," he said. "Two, I'm interested in music that hasn't been played on vibes but sounds great on vibes. With Will, Dave and Brian's pieces, I remember hearing each of them and saying, 'I wanna play that.'" The album also contains "Whistle for Willie," a piece that showcases another of Marsalis' talents, his brilliant whistling. "Sometimes I do it on stage," he said. "It really surprises folks."

Now that I have my DROs mounted (more on that here) http://www.gunco.net/forums/183-tool...mini-mill.html I'm going to try and do this one relying on just the DROs and a blueprint. I did the last one using a drill guide and press. It came out ok, but you can see traces of the where a couple of the holes were drilled.
Let me start with this, I am not a machinist, but have spent a moderate amount time on mills and lathes over the years. Some might say that I know just enough to be dangerous.
This is just meant to be a primer course for the layman thinking about giving one of these a try. I am using a layout that I found somewhere on the net, that others have had success with.
First you need to locate 0,0. everything is done off of this point. The X zero is the centerline of the pivot pin hole and the Y zero is the centerline of the receiver, where they intersect is 0,0. To locate the X axis use an edge finder on the pivot pin. When the edge finder kicks out, 0 your X scale and raise the edge finder up out of the way. Crank your X in an additional .225 and reset to 0. (.100 half dia edge finder + .125 half dia pivot pin = .225) X is done.
To find Y measure the width of the receiver at the FCG pocket area. The AA receiver is .886 so I'm going to use that figure. Set your edge finder on the front of the receiver (facing you, actually drivers side of receiver) when it kicks, set Y axis to 0. Raise the Z up out of the way and dial in an additional .543. reset Y scale to 0 (half the thickness of the receiver .443 + half the dia of the edge finder .100 = .543) To double check, move the edge finder to the back of the receiver (passengers side) it should kick at .543.
The bulk of the material is still removed with drill bits, but with just 7 holes. All of the holes are on the Y zero axis except the hole at 5.608. You need to move the receiver .031 rearward for any operation at that location. I did spot drill the outer holes of the drilling jig just as a visual safety net.
I spot drilled the 7 holes then drilled out the first 5 holes with a 1/4 bit as a pilot hole then out to .500 for the first 4 and .375 on hole 5 with a deck height of 1.245. Remember to add the additional .031 for hole number 5. Do not try to drill out 6 & 7 yet, you will run into the take down pin.

Avanir Pharmaceuticals has received a grant from the Michael J. Fox Foundation to support a clincial safety and efficacy study evaluating AVP-923 (dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulfate) for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease patients. The placebo-controlled proof-of-concept study will be conducted at three sites in the U.S. and Canada. Participants will receive, at random, two weeks of treatment with AVP-923 and two weeks of placebo treatment, separated by a two-week break. After each two-week treatment period patients will receive a levodopa infusion to test the drug effect on dyskinesia.
Avanir is focused on acquiring and developing drugs for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. AVP-923 is also in Phase II clinical development for the treatment of behavioral disturbances in Alzheimer's disease and central neuropathic pain in multiple sclerosis, and is undergoing Phase III testing for treating diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.
The firm has two marketed products. Nuedexta® is a dextromethorphan hydrobromide and quinidine sulfate drug approved for the treatment of Pseudobulbar Affect, a condition in which patients suddenly burst out crying or laughing, and which is caused by underlying neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, other dementias, stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or ALS. Avanir's other marketed drug, Abreva (docosanol) is approved for the treatment of orofacial herpes simplex (HSV1). GlaxoSmithKline holds exclusive North American marketing rights to Abreva.

"It's summer time when thoughts of most college-age students turn to kicking back at the beach," reports Catholic New York in this recent article. But the archdiocese's Pierre Toussaint Scholars decided instead to have a retreat the last weekend in June.
Pierre Toussaint scholars are graduating seniors from various schools in the Archdiocese of New York who demonstrate active involvement in a church or faith community. They also score high on academic achievement. And they demonstrate a commitment to serving others, similar to the scholars' namesake, the Venerable Pierre Toussaint.
Mr. Toussaint was born a slave in Haiti in 1766 and died a freeman in New York City in 1853. He touched the hearts of many by living his life, he said, "to be an apostle of goodness to everyone he met." He was instrumental in raising funds for the first Catholic orphanage, starting the city's first school for black children, providing funds for the Oblate Sisters of Providence, (a religious community of black nuns), and raising funds to build the Old Saint Patrick's Cathedral. With money he earned as successful entrepreneur he purchased the freedom of others instead of his own.
The retreat included a service component, in which the scholars decorated backpacks for Catholic Charities. The backpacks will be distributed to the children of refugees.
'This is part of what makes me proud of this program,' said Brother Tyrone Davis, C.F.C., executive director of the archdiocese's Office of Black Ministry, 'that we have some of our college students-leaders involved in Church and ministry and that they might continue to do so even after graduating.'

Areas Sports Briefs - Seahawk Club; second shut-out game; eGolf stays at St. James
Published: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 10:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 10:56 p.m.
Seahawk Club picks director
Rob Aycock is the new executive director of the Seahawk Club, the athletics fundraising arm at UNCW.
He comes to Wilmington from High Point University and replaces Patrick Ransdell, who was fired in December.
High Point saw tremendous growth in athletics fundraising over the last three years, from $122,000 in 2009 to $4 million last year, per a UNCW release. During that time, Aycock solicited a $2.6 million donation, the largest in High Point history.
Aycock, 31, is a Tarboro native and a Wake Forest graduate.
"The entire membership of the Seahawk Club is excited about having Rob on board," Don Fallis, the Seahawk Club's current president, said in the release. "We're anxious to work closely with him to increase membership and giving."
Batts throws second complete-game shutout
In other UNCW sports news, junior Mat Batts threw his second consecutive complete-game shutout last week and was named CAA baseball co-Pitcher of the Week for the second week in a row. Batts is the first Seahawk to have back to back complete-game shutouts since 2001.
eGolf stays at St. James
The eGolf Professional Tour remains at St. James Plantation for the next three days for another event this week.
The inaugural Founders Club Classic runs Tuesday through Thursday will take place on the Founders Course. Admission is free all three days.
Wilmington native Josh Brock is in the field; he missed the cut last week at the Reserve Club in defense of his 2012 title at the Championship at St. James Plantation. He has cashed in three of his five events this season.

Fried chicken will never again look quite so appetizing after seeing William Friedkin's "Killer Joe"….a gothic Southern noir that provides Matthew McConaughey with his best role to date. His performance recalls that of Robert Mitchum in "Night of the Hunter"….not only in its physicality (black Stetson, black clothes) but in its psycho-intensity.
McConaughey's astounding performance is one of the reasons to see this violent tale of family dysfunction and sadistic revenge. The other reason is the startlingly poetic dialogue by Tracy Letts who wrote the screenplay from his own stage play. Friedkin ("The French Connection", "The Exorcist") has worked with Letts before on a smaller, claustrophobic horror called "Bug" but here, he opens up the work and brings us a Texas trailer trash thriller that doesn't scream of the theatre, yet revels in theatricality.
McConaughey as the eponymous Joe is a Dallas detective who moonlights as a contract killer. The pulp story is as dark and twisted as any noir potboiler and involves a con-man son (Emile Hirsch) conspiring to have his no-good mother killed in order to get his hands on her life insurance money. Joining him in this sick endeavor is his father (a marvelous Thomas Haden Church), his father's sluttish second wife (Gina Gershon) and his teenage sister Dottie (Juno Temple). Friedkin emphasizes Dottie's baby doll innocence among the depravity by first showing her sleeping curled up among her teddy bears. Traded to Joe as collateral, Dottie is the purity at the heart of the insanity but may not be as naïve as she makes out to be.
Rated NC-17 for extreme violence and sexual depravity (I imagine the sexually charged scene between Joe and Dottie to be the real hurdle for the MPAA), "Killer Joe" is not easy viewing. One particular brutal scene of degradation calls to mind Dennis Hopper's Frank Booth in "Blue Velvet" and will likely live on to be as memorable and iconic.
We've seen characters like these killing and maiming and abusing before, yet there is something in Letts' dialogue that lends them a novel freshness. They merit our attention. And if it's hard to see Matthew McConaughey as a leading romantic man after this? Then he's done his job well.

Spinlister - a Peer to Peer Bike Rental Service comes to the Denver area
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Spinlister is coming to the Denver area and it could allow you to make a few bucks with those other 5 bikes in your garage or if you are a renter prevent you from that urge to buy a hipster but rent one instead
A few key quick facts about their service:
- Bike owners can make up to $150 a week renting out their bikes
- We have a national network of over 500 bikes available for rent (currently listers only)
- We guarantee the safety of bicycles on our system up to $5000
- Our bike prices average half of existing bike rental shops
- Any unrented bike on our system is free for the first day!
From TechCrunch
There are over 100 million bikes in the US and over a billion on the planet. But most bikes are not used daily, meaning there's plenty of opportunity to meet demand. Normal bike rental from a store costs about $16 a day. On Spinlister you can rent a bike from $5 a day up to about $100 for a really nice bike. They are now in 275 cities in 40 countries with over 2,000 bikes listed.
Founded in May 2011, Spinlister is a peer-to-peer bike rental company allowing people to rent a bike online, either from other individuals or existing bike rental shops. It's like an Airbnb for bikes. Pretty handy if you're a tourist in a city. However it obviously needs lots of people to participate. So far it's launched in San Francisco and New York but it announced on stage at Disrupt that it's prepping a national launch this Fall and a new mobile app is in the works. International plans are also on the way.

Miami Dolphins: Reggie Bush nominated for honor
Can't say this one was a surprise, but Dolphins running back Reggie Bush has been nominated for the FedEx Ground NFL player of the week award. The winner will be announced Friday. Fans can vote here.
Bush put together the best game of his career, rushing for 203 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries. The highlight was the 76-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter that capped the Dolphins' 30-23 victory against the Buffalo Bills. The performance almost certainly guarantees Bush will top the 1,000-mark for the first time.
He is just 27 yards shy of the barrier.
Bush seemingly has improved as the season progressed. After a slow start, he's rushed for 854 yards in the past 10 games. He's run for at least 100 yards in three straight games, totalling four this season.
Before this year, Bush had just one 100-yard game.

The price is forgotten after using this exceptional wallet!
Historically, I've always purchased wallets that were much cheaper; believing that the "more expensive" wallets weren't worth the additional cost. Recently I was surfing the web in search of a new bi-fold, when I came across the BOSCA website. I looked anyway and found this wallet to exactly meet all of my needs. I hesitated for a moment because of cost, but decided that if the wallet was worth the price, I shouldn't have to replace so often. Upon receiving it, I was genuinely surprised at the attention to detail, the thinness, the superb stitching, the softness of leather, and the overall quality. It fits my back pockets so well, and I've received many compliments. One the best investments I've given myself!
February 9, 2015
I had been pursuing a particular wallet for months and I recently saw a Bosca wallet in a retail store. I checked your website and found precisely the wallet I wanted in every regard. In general, it takes an Act of Congress to find a wallet with "double-window-passcase", and even more rare to find one of Bosca quality. Many thanks indeed.

The boat trip between Refugio Amazonas and the Tambopata Research Center (TRC) can take two to four hours depending on the amount of water in the river. Nevertheless, the time is well spent because passengers pass through some of the most biodiverse and remote rainforests on Earth. Other than a couple of farms along the route, the Tambopata River is flanked by the Amazon rainforest at its finest. As the boat moves along, the keen and ready eyes of the guides and boat driver also watch the shore and treetops in search of jungle wildlife.
Red Howler Monkeys are sometimes seen, macaws are often observed in trees and as they fly overhead, a flowering tree might be filled with parakeets, and the occasional Spectacled Caiman is spotted on the riverbank. The most fortunate of guests may even get looks at apex predators such as Jaguar or Harpy Eagle. While sightings of those animals do happen from time to time, you still have to be pretty lucky to see them. However, even if you don't glimpse a Jaguar, there are still several other animals that are encountered on most boat trips. One of these is the Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris).
This large rodent frequently occurs at the edges of rivers and lakes in the Tambopata region and is commonly sighted by most guests visiting the Rainforest Expeditions eco-lodges.
Here are some interesting facts about this funny looking creature:

The constants could possibly be named different, like fileTooManyFiles and fileTooFewFiles or something like that.
This is a BC break and can not be done without breaking all existing applications.
Constant changes are not allowed.

I use a full-text index in a MySQL table, and each insert into this table takes about 3 seconds. It seems that MySQL rebuilds (a part) of the full text index after each insert/update. Is this right?
How can I get better performance from the
INSERT? Is there perhaps an option to set when MySQL rebuilds the full-text index?
