I've been paying much more attention to companies and their products since becoming an active candy reviewer a few years ago. It's amazing to me how some brands and products really stand out and other fade into the candy shadows. One of the companies that have really stood out to me is Albanese Confectionery and their line of gummi candies.
I first tasted their products with their popular 12 flavor gummi bears. I was impressed with them to say the least, and that says something since I'm not a big fan of gummi bears to begin with (unless we're taking the cartoon show). I usually find them too rubbery and tasteless, but these proved me wrong.
So naturally I was excited to find some of Albanese's other gummi candy. So here you have it, their Gummi Army Guys. Is this a cool idea or what? To start they're just awesome to look at. The molds are great; really well done and the size is good too. I want to stick them to a window and re-create a war scene.
Firstly, the texture is awesome. The army guys are firm, chewy, yet not too hard so my jaw gets sore. The chew is terribly ideal and exactly what I look for in gummi candy.
The flavor is fruity and is very apple like. I'm immediately reminded of fresh apple cider. I'm really pleased with it as it's not overly done and is really fresh and tasty.
These are too fun for words and I wish I had a younger brother to share there with, as I can see boys really appreciating the shape and flavor (not to say a little girl wouldn't, mind you!). My boyfriend will have to suffice.

Eco-Friendly Products
Efforts for Eco-Friendly Products
Development of Eco-Friendly Products
Clarion implements self-imposed environmental assessments from the development stage using standards for 8 assessment criteria. We aim to develop products with less environmental impact (Eco-Friendly Products) through LCA (life cycle assessment) approach whereby total environmental impact is assessed throughout the entire life cycle.
We also address the issues necessary to comply with the RoHS Directive of the EU and other domestic and overseas laws and regulations, as well as requirements of car manufacturers. Together with these efforts and promotion of Green Purchasing, among others, we eliminate prohibited substances and promote use of eco-friendly materials and components from the development stage.
Display of the Clarion Eco-Mark
To develop and offer eco-friendly products, Clarion conducts the environmental impact assessment, which is comprised of the following 8 criteria; lighter weight, longer lifespan, better recyclability, easier disassembly, more eco-friendliness, better energy efficiency, better providing of information, and better packaging material. For the products which meet our own criteria the "Clarion Eco-Marks" are displayed on them.
Examples of products with the "Clarion Eco-Mark"
Compliance with REACH Regulations
The REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) Regulations aim to put obligation of safety assessment of practically all chemicals in distribution within Europe and registration and evaluation of them. The regulations came into force in June 2007. They expect to minimize the impacts from chemical substances to the environment and human and to more clearly identify responsibility of enterprises with respect to administration of these substances through compliance with them. Clarion promotes activities of identifying the chemical contents with use of JAMA sheets∗.
Furthermore, Clarion laid out voluntary standard to ban content in components of phthalate ester 4 which is listed in REACH Regulations Annex XIV in an effort to reduce substances with environmental impacts.
Full Digital Speaker for System Bathroom
Clarion has developed a full digital sound system product that is compatible with system bathrooms. This is a water-resistant audio system using acoustic tuning designed specifically for the bathroom, that allows the user to take a bath and at the same time, enjoy a high quality of sound that is virtually indistinguishable from the source. It has an energy-saving design, and only consumes 3W–5W during music playback. With this technology, wireless music playback can be enjoyed with lower power consumption than that of an LED bulb.
Promotion of Green Purchasing
Clarion promotes green purchasing activities. In order to further enhance purchase of goods with less environmental impact, we revised "Green Procurement Guideline" in 2010. We will continue our efforts in offering products that comply with various laws, regulations and industry standards in cooperation with our suppliers.

The couple took out a $250,000 loan, collateralized by their home equity, to build and staff a 2,500-square-foot commercial kitchen in Norfolk, Virginia. Home food production for commercial sale isn't legal in Norfolk, and she knew that in order to make the numbers work, she'd have to sell in large quantities nationwide. She quit her ER job, and with one part-time employee (two more joined months later) she brought her first Dr. Lucy's cookies to market in November 2007: chocolate chip, cinnamon, oatmeal and sugar cookies.
Paul, still working his ER job, led the sales efforts, and they quickly got into local natural-food stores and 35 stores that are part of a grocery chain. By September 2008, Whole Foods mid-Atlantic stores were stocking Lucy's cookies (drlucys.com).
Then the economic downturn hit. Gibney had moved to a larger, 12,000-square-foot baking facility to keep up with demand and expanded her staff to 20, and she struggled to cover the higher overhead. "We filled out those awful personal credit card offers that come in the mail," she says, and began looking for private investors. Worst of all, they had to lay off three of their employees. "That was the hardest thing I've ever done," she says. "But we were succeeding. We'd get emails and phone calls from people saying, 'Thank you so much! These cookies are so good, and my child loves them.' "
Finally, in July 2011, Gibney made a deal with private investors. Paul has stepped back from the business. "He misses it, but he was getting worn out, and we didn't want to have all of our earnings coming from one source," says Gibney. Their staff has grown to 36, and she expects gross sales in 2012 to reach $5 million. Recently, Dr. Lucy's products received a glowing review from a food blogger, Junk Food Guy. "Thank you," he wrote. "You made me believe that gluten-free CAN still be indulgent."

BOO to Goodreads. I thought it was great and then found out that their server didn't save a whole lot of books I scanned in. It didn't warn me that it wasn't saving - it recognized the barcodes and displayed the book covers but didn't save them. In addition, the app only displays about 25-30 of the books, then says More Books which leads to a search. The search shows all of the books the author has written, not just my books. I'm SO frustrated. So much time wasted!

I have an excel spreadsheet that I use to keep track of everything. I have different pages for different types of books and each page is organized alphabetically by author. I e-mail it to myself periodically so I can look at it on my iphone. I'm sure there's a better way to do this but I'm not tech savy enough to figure it out and this works fine for me.
I've tried Good Reads a couple of times. I like it for finding new recommendations but have found that the excel spreadsheet works better for me in terms of keeping track of what I've read. I have columns for author, title, ownership (e.g. book, ebook, library), series, grade, and description. When I first started keeping track I didn't bother with a description but I quickly realized that without something to jog my memory I couldn't remember anything about the book.

I usually keep my spreadsheets on Google docs so I can access them wherever I need to. (My main problem is trying to keep them updated.)

, after decades of databases, I find I now prefer pen and paper too. I also use a notebook, but a spiral one that I can fold in half, and is about 8 by 5 so it will fit in my purse for raids on most excellent used book stores we have in our area.
I don't keep a list of all what I've read though. One section is for up-coming new releases. Another section is for OOP or other books I haven't been able to find that I'd really like to have. And I have another ridiculously long section of books I already have but haven't read yet. I can remember what I did read but not always all what I bought but haven't yet read!
I tend to be a book glommer, reading everything my favorite authors have ever written, so I don't need to keep track of Gabaldon, JD Robb, and others. But I have yet another section for only partly read authors. Instead of a table of contents in front, I have an index in the back for the unknowns -- mostly the TBRs I already own. So I guess I have the reverse of what others have for book tracking.

I have kept a simple database that I made with Microsoft Works - title, author by last name first, year the story is set in - sometimes I just put in regency, or medieval if it is not stated, then location of story, he/she names. titles (if they have them), plot in a few words, plot continued- just an extra space if needed, rating (I rank them from 1 to 5), and keep (whether I have kept it or traded it in).
When I am visiting in the US and am going to go to a used book store, I print out an abreviated version of the whole list - title, author, so that I don't buy the same book again (I am ashamed to say that I have done that more than once).

Me too. I have two notebooks, one to write down the title and author of every book I read in each month and another notebook to keep up with books I want to buy, with books in my TBR list I need to know about, of books I buy but don't get to right away and might keep for later...stuff like that.
It helps my memory.

Coupon Kitchen - Same ingredients can help you save big
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 1:10 p.m.
By using the same ingredients in various recipes you can really stretch your grocery budget. This week, based on deals being offered at Harris Teeter, I was able to provide five meals with four servings each for only $44 total! That is less than $9 per night for a family of four – try to find that at any restaurant while also providing healthy, well-rounded meals.
Shopping list
Skillet burritos
1 onion – $.30
1 green bell pepper – $1.29
Harris Teeter 2.5 lb bag IQF chicken breasts – $5.24
Harris Teeter diced tomatoes with green chilies, 10 oz can – $.50
Harris Teeter pinto beans, 15 oz can – $.77
Harris Teeter reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese – $2
Harris Teeter Farmer's Market spring mix, 5 oz – $2.50

1 red onion – $1.25
1 red bell pepper – $2.99
Harris Teeter low-fat cottage cheese, 8 oz – $1.50
Harris Teeter fat-free milk, 32 oz – $1.67
Skillet burritos
2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 cup cooked rice
10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies
15 oz can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
1 cup mixed greens
4 tortillas
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink. Add onion, green bell pepper and garlic to skillet; sauté 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt and garlic powder. Add rice, tomatoes and beans; cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle with cheese; cover and remove from heat. Let stand 1 minute or until cheese melts.
Divide skillet contents among each tortilla, top with lettuce and roll up.
Shrimp tostadas
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp salt
1 lb shrimp, peeled and de-veined
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
16 oz can refried beans
4 flour tortillas
1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
1 ripe medium avocado, pitted, peeled and diced
1 roma tomato, diced
In a medium bowl, stir together shrimp ingredients.
Heat a skillet to medium-high heat. Remove shrimp from the marinade (discarding the remaining marinade) and place them in the skillet. Cook until they are opaque and pink, about 5-6 minutes.
Heat another skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly brush a tortilla with vegetable oil and transfer it to pan. Cook until crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side; repeat with the other tortillas.
Spread the refried beans over each tortilla. Top with shrimp and cheese. Broil in the oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Top each tostada with avocado and tomatoes.
Salami & spinach stromboli
6 oz tomato paste
1 tsp minced garlic
1 pizza dough ball
10 thin slices salami
1½ cups 2 percent shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups chopped baby spinach
1 tsp olive oil
Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Combine tomato paste and garlic in a small bowl.
Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Spread the tomato paste mixture over the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
Place a layer of salami on the tomato paste; top with cheese and spinach.
Starting at a long side, roll the dough into a cylinder. Pinch both ends shut to contain the filling.
Using two spatulas, carefully transfer the stromboli to the prepared baking sheet, placing it seam-side down. Brush olive oil over the outside of dough.
Bake until the crust is beginning to brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into portions. Serve warmed pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

norgestrel (contraceptive) - oral, Ovrette
GENERIC NAME: NORGESTREL (CONTRACEPTIVE) - ORAL (nor-JESS-trel)
BRAND NAME(S): Ovrette
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It is often referred to as the "mini-pill" because it does not contain any estrogen. Norgestrel (a form of progestin) is a hormone that prevents pregnancy by changing the womb and cervical mucus to make it more difficult for an egg to meet sperm (fertilization) or for the fertilized egg to attach to the wall of the womb (implantation). Regular use of the "mini-pill" prevents the release of an egg (ovulation) in about half of the women who use it.While the "mini-pill" is more effective than certain other methods of birth control (e.g., condoms, cervical cap, diaphragm), it is less effective than estrogen/progestin birth control because it does not consistently prevent ovulation. It is usually used by women who cannot take estrogen. For the most effective results, it is very important to take this medication exactly as prescribed.Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., HIV, gonorrhea).OTHER This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.Norgestrel may also be used to help decrease pain and blood loss from a certain menstrual condition (heavy/painful periods due to endometriosis) and to help make your periods more regular.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

"Shoot Toronto February 2012" by Tyson Williams is a second book from Shoot Toronto web site (www.shoottoronto.com) It is now available online as a hard cover book and an e-book for iPad.
Tyson Williams is a blogger and Canadian based freelance photographer whose works have been published in the media press and online. He reached for a camera and took his first photograph in the late 1980's while still living in Europe. His passion for photography has resulted in a large variety of works from industrial photography, documentary, landscape and nature to architectural photography and portraits.

Wendelin, that problem existed with the old boards as well. Just copy your PM text to not having to write it again, then refresh the page. That should do it.
JRaven, font size can't be changed within the signature. Just leave the font at the preset size, then you're fine.
I need a little help...
In the General Settings I have selected the GMT time for Western Europe and London...but currently the time on the Beta Boards says it is 04.00PM when it's actually 06.15PM. This is the first time I've noticed this problem and I can't fix it. I'm also not sure whether it's just me having the problem or if everyone is. If you could let me know what's happened I'd be very greatful as I'm rather confused.
k5c - I believe this is the basis of the 'Time-Turner glitch' that is moving posts around in threads. We're still not entirely sure why it's happening but you're not alone in experiencing it. Hopefully it won't cause you any real problems but your posts may occasionally move higher up a thread than they should. If they do move, try changing your time settings to match the forum's clock.
I just registered a new account (solum) and when I log in, half the threads disappear and I can't open the ones that I can still see because I get the "banned for life" message. What should I do?
Thank you very much for your help! My time seems to be okay now .
Check and make sure the box for Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder is checked under Miscellaneous Options underneath the message box.
You can also to go General settings and permanently set it to retain a copy of all sent messages. To do this you just need to go to My Profile, then General Settings.

I'm experiencing a rather bizarre double-post problem. When I type something and post it in a thread, I get a message saying I must wait 30 seconds between two posts (though that's the first time I'm posting). When I do post after 30 seconds though, it's a double post! O.o
I'm pretty confused out here... could anyone help me with this?
Thank you!
I sent a PM fine about ten minutes or so ago. I just tried to send another one and it said:
"The following errors occurred with your submission
This forum requires that you wait 60 seconds between sending private messages. Please try again in 6160 seconds."
Is this happening to anyone else? Can it be fixed?

Before she was an Oscar-winning actress, Sissy Spacek was a horse-riding tomboy in small-town Texas, where, spurred by her teenage brother's death from leukemia, she decided early on that she wasn't going to waste a minute. "For me, the grief was almost like rocket fuel. It made me fearless. And I lost interest in trivial things," she says in her honest, down-to-earth memoir, My Extraordinary Ordinary Life (Hyperion; written with Maryanne Vollers). Her acting career is high drama (bloodied in Carrie, singing her way through Loretta Lynn's life in Coal Miner's Daughter, being deliciously tipsy in The Help). But her joy in the everyday comforts of life on a quiet Virginia farm with her husband of almost 40 years is what truly defines her.

Our most popular gear based on what customers are buying.
A new dependable workhorse for zero-degree expeditions, this down bag is thirsty for cold-weather. Constructed with 850 fill goose down, this lofty down Summit Series® bag is designed with bomber, waterproof Pertex® Endurance™ shell to prevent you from getting, or staying, wet in critically cold conditions. Most down bags lose their warmth when wet – this bag eliminates that.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

I want to prove that for an integrable function $f(x)$ and periodic with period $T$, for every $a \in \mathbb{R}$, $\int_{0}^{T}f(x)dx=\int_{a}^{a+T}f(x)dx$.
I tried to change the values and define $y=a+x$ so that $dy=dx$ and the limits of the integrals are as we want, but I'm not sure how to use the fact that $f(x)$ is periodic.
Thanks a lot!

I have been on the faculty at Sweetland since 2004, and in my current position as Associate Director since 2007. Over that time, I've had the opportunity to have a hand in developing several vibrant Sweetland programs, including our topics courses in new media writing (Writing 200), the electronic portfolio program in our Transition to College Writing course (Writing 100), our Minor in Writing, and most recently, our new program for U-M undergraduate multilingual writers. With Sweetland's research group, I have been studying U-M's Upper-Level Writing Requirement program (ULWR), our Directed Self-Placement program (DSP), and college student writing development within the context of the Minor in Writing electronic portfolio program.
A good part of my work at Sweetland involves faculty and graduate instructor professional development in connection to teaching and developing writing courses across U-M. I work closely with Sweetland faculty in supporting our one-to-one writing consultations in the Writing Workshop and Peer Tutor Program, and in our writing minor, in which I am also an instructor and academic advisor. Additionally, I am a co-founder and co-director of the Sweetland Digital Rhetoric Collaborative, a community webspace and born digital book series with the U-M Press.
Writing studies, digital rhetoric, writing and multiliteracy centers.
As Associate Director of Sweetland, which houses both a writing center and first-year and upper-level writing programs, I have a professional and scholarly interest in the effects of a writing center ethos on writing program development, assessment, and faculty and graduate instructor professional development in diverse pedagogical settings.
My further research interests focus on multiliteracy centers; reflection and metacognition in writing pedagogy, including digital contexts; electronic portfolios; interdisciplinarity in upper-level writing; and institutional research on writing program effectiveness and best practices.

The amount of times Club Firestone has changed its name over the years has made me dizzy. It's like the "Sybil" of Orlando nightlife.
It's mostly understood given the name is more associated with cars than a nightclub — the venue has been known as The Club, The Club at Firestone and, of course, Firestone over the years.
With more of a focus on live music recently versus the club status that had it listed as one of the best nightclubs in the southeast by "Rolling Stone" magazine in the '90s, Club Firestone is rebranding itself as Firestone Live. Along with the new name is a new logo and Web site address too: firestonelive.net — it will be live in a few days. But not all remnants of its former life are lost, the 102 JAMZ "Official Ladies Night" on Sundays, a staple at the club, will remain for now. Otherwise, it's all live music and special events from here on out.

Reviews for All-in-One Egg Casserole
"I made half this recipe for two of us and it is very good. The sauce tasted a little floury and was really thick but overall a good breakfast recipe. I added some diced red pepper and used more mushrooms than called for. Instead of parsley I topped with chopped tomatoes. Also, I used reduced fat sharp cheddar. I put the muffins on the bottom of the dish, half the sauce, the eggs, then the bacon and veggies, rest of the sauce and topped with tomatoes. I used reduced fat cheese and skim milk."
"Really? Almost everyone asked if you cook the bacon first... that is the first thing the recipe says to do. This sounds so yummy, can't wait to try it!"
"Do you cook the bacon? wat bout the bacon? it says at the beggining of this recipe COOK BACON TILL CRISP!!! thats to the ppl that kept askin bout the bacon"
"Absolutely delicious!! My husband and I made this for Easter brunch this year. It was easy, quick and very good."

If necessary: Rematch of Sunday's first game if B-CU (team with one loss) wins, 3 p.m.
Despite a first-round loss, the Wildcats have won four straight and are in the championship for the eighth straight season.
B-CU (34-24) won 4-1 over Coppin State.
"They were outstanding," B-CU coach Jason Beverlin said. "I'm extremely proud of all of the guys. Like I told them, I wish we had realized earlier in the season how good of a team we could really be when we play together, but now's the time to come together."
B-CU will face Savannah State (32-21) in the championship at 11 a.m. today.
If the Wildcats win, the teams would play again in a winner-take-all game at 3 p.m. today.
B-CU's Ali Simpson — who started on his 23rd birthday — and reliever PJ Biocic combined to limit Coppin State (18-33).
Simpson (4-7) gave up one run on four hits, struck out four and walked four in five innings in the win.
"He (Simpson) came to my room (Friday night), and he asked for the ball," Beverlin said. "It was important that he get the opportunity to pitch. He wanted to keep us alive, and that says everything about him, as a person and a player."
Biocic struck out six and walked one in four innings for his first save.
"PJ told me when he was warming up, 'I'm going to finish this game,'¤" Beverlin said. "He followed through with what he said he was going to do."
Aiding Biocic with the first out of the ninth, Matt Noble prevented a sure double by Ian Arciaga with a highlight-reel leaping play to snatch a high line drive.
Eros Modena and Noble had RBIs for the Wildcats. Noble and Anthony Stokes had two hits apiece, while Brandon Turner scored two runs.
B-CU and Savannah State split in six games this season.
On March 30-31, Savannah State took two of three at B-CU — winning 14-4 and 3-2 and losing 14-2.
On May 5-6, B-CU took two of three games at Savannah State — winning 9-2 and 9-3 and losing 4-2.

The disease, which is usually fatal, causes the blood pressure in the lungs to get so high that the vessels to constrict, so the heart has to pump harder to get the blood through, Heaton said during an interview with The Park Record.
"It gets worse over time and never gets better," she said.
Since Heaton has exhausted all the medication options in her treatment, the only option left is a lung transplant.
But once the transplant is completed, she will be on different medications, which will take most of her insurance money, said Heaton's older sister Janae Munoa.
"She'll also have to be at the hospital for three days a week and will not be able to work," she said.
That's why Munoa is hosting a fundraiser on Friday, Feb. 8, from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. at the Sidecar, 333 Main St.
The event will feature an opportunity drawing, a live DJ and dinner, she said.
"Admission is $25, and that will include pizza, chicken wings and one drawing ticket," Munoa explained. "We will also have additional tickets for sale and we will offer private sitting booths for an additional charge."
Drawing prizes will include the grand prize, which is a three-night deluxe accommodation vacation package from the Montage, Deer Valley that comes with $1,000 in resort credit.
"We also have other gift certificates for restaurants including the Riverhorse, Stein Eriksen Lodge's Glitretind Restaurant, Davanza's Pizza and Outback Steakouse," Munoa said.
Additional prizes include two gold summer passes to Utah Olympic Park, lift tickets to Sundance and Park City Mountain ski resorts and gift certificates for the Egyptian Theatre.
"We will also have fine art, snowboards and skis and a professional photo-session package in the drawing," Munoa said.
The family chose the Sidecar, because they know its general manager Randy Marino.
"He and the Sidecar has been very charitable to us," Munoa said.
Those who can't come to the fundraiser can still donate through www.HelpHOPELive.org .
The site is also pre-selling fundraiser tickets, Munoa said.
"If you go to the website and type Madison Heaton in the Patient Name boxes, it will take you to a page with instructions on how you can donate," she said.
Unfortunately, since the Sidecar is only open to anyone aged 21 and older, Heaton, who is 20, will be one of those who can't attend.
"I'm sure it will be fun, and if anyone wants to drop their children off for me to babysit they can, because I'm not allowed to go," Heaton said with a laugh.
Heaton was added to the Lung Transplant List at the University of Utah in December.
Before that, she lived in St. George with her parents.
"Our family is originally from Provo and my parents moved with Maddie to St. George four years ago to be at a lower elevation to help her lungs operate a little better," Munoa said. "Maddie recently moved in with my husband and me in Park City after she got on the list, because if they find a donor, she needs to be not more than one-hour from the hospital."
Heaton, who is one of four on the waiting list, said she doesn't remember not having medical problems.
"For me it's normal, but I've never been able to play a sport," she said. "In elementary school, when we played baseball, I had people run the bases for me, and I've never been snowboarding or skiing or anything like that, just because I can't breathe."
For more information and tickets for the Madison Heaton fundraiser at the Sidecar, visit www.HelpHOPELive.org . To purchase a private booth during the event, contact Janae Munoa at (801) 836-1146 or email@example.com.

What will be further of laptop batteries?At present, lithium cobalt oxide batteries mainly. To further enhance the product's energy reserves, the technical level higher lithium nickel materials in 2000 is expected to enter the market. However, because of the battery cathode materials have limited impact on their own properties, according to expert estimates, by 2000 the volume of lithium-ion battery energy density about 400wh / l, while single battery minimum thickness shall be 4 ~ 5mm between performance almost do not have much room for growth. From an overall perspective, the development of alternatives to a new generation of lithium-ion battery cells have been imminent, while the professional battery manufacturers are also actively engaged in selection and R & D job. In the lithium cobalt oxide is expected to replace the new materials, the lithium rechargeable batteries became the focus of attention. Rechargeable lithium battery anode materials belong to the direct use of a new type of lithium metal rechargeable batteries, and its most prominent feature of being able to give full play to the negative terminal of the battery reaction of metallic materials, so the new battery's energy reserves to achieve the traditional lithium-ion batteries for more than 2-fold, and in the discharge capacity, and even traditional products can achieve 10 times. Association has been concerned about the computer company dedicated high-performance laptop batteries in the development of substantial funding to conduct an independent investment research, and professional battery manufacturers maintain close ties to the Chinese users with high efficiency, economy, the latest battery technology. Zinc-air batteries to replace lithium cobalt oxide is the new leader of the Materials, and its negative use of zinc, highly characteristic. At present, the zinc-air battery charging in the free area there is still a problem, but the vast number of battery manufacturers are actively seeking solutions, sophisticated trust zinc battery products will be available soon. —- It is envisaged that in the near future, whether laptop manufacturers or users will face more and more efficient and more practical choice, and many adoption of new technologies and new materials of the birth of the battery battery market will in future have a revolutionary impact.Relative laptop batteries:dell 700m batteryHp EV088AA EV089AA battery Hp 446506-001 battery Dell C1295 battery

|Kiser takes WAC honor
DENVER – The Western Athletic
Conference honored University of Idaho sophomore Hannah Kiser on Tuesday as the
Verizon Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week for her performance the week
of Sept. 12-18.
a second-year Vandal from Wenatchee, Wash. (Wenatchee HS), broke the Idaho
school record for 6000m with a 20:58.43 at the Sundodger Invitational on
Saturday at Seattle, Wash.. She was the top collegiate finisher and took second
overall in a 71-runner field that featured Pac-12 teams Oregon State and
Washington, the nation's 11th-ranked program.
breaking the Idaho freshman record on the course last year in her Vandal debut,
Kiser ran 32 seconds faster on Saturday. Idaho's women finished second behind
UW and posted their fastest team average time ever on the course.
honor is the first of Kiser's career and Idaho's first of the 2011 season. She
said that her success comes from a strong team bond that has gotten stronger
since last year's WAC team title performance.
whole team has been really focused," Kiser said. "We had a lot of success last
season, and we want that to continue that success. We all work really, really
hard together to push each other, not only in practice, but in the race, so
you're thinking about yourself and also how you can push the team forward."
Kiser and the Vandals will next be in action at the Dellinger Invitational, hosted by the University of Oregon, on Saturday, Oct. 1, at Eugene, Ore.

Some were using Microsoft; some were using SurfControl or even something else. But they were all too hard to manage and took too much administration to get it right.
- Mylan Simons, Senior Technical Analyst, Appleby
The Webroot Security Service produces near real-time logs that give administrators an up-to-the-moment view of which sites and download users have attempted to access—and whether or not they had permission.
Administrator can access the service logs for one year, making it easy to access historical information and generate key metric reports. Detailed reports—run scheduled or ad-hoc—allow administrators to quickly view graphs of web traffic trends, blocked malware, bandwidth usage and more.
Administrators can also schedule distribution of reports via email to a user or list of user. Reports can contain up to 100 charts detailing Internet use. This automation of reporting minimizes administrative time and ensures timely reporting.
The Webroot SecureAnywhere Web Security Service stores log data—including data on deleted groups—for one year. Administrators can quickly search by specifying specific dates (up to a range of 90 days).
For ranges larger than 90 days, the service allows processing logs as CSV files with up to two million lines, which can also be exported for analysis in other reporting applications.
Preconfigured and canned charts show bandwidth trends as well as top activity for blocked and allowed sites. These dynamic and interactive charts let administrators view results immediately.
Webroot reporting also allows administrators to configure custom chart types that represent a particular slice of usage. For example, rather than the 10 users shown in the standard Top Blocked Users by Time Spent Surfing report, it is simple to change the report to show to the top 20 or 50 users.
Administrators can schedule these custom saved charts for delivery on a regular basis to specified users. Recipients can interactively drill down into reports. For example, in a bar chart showing Top 10 Users by Bandwidth, clicking on a bar would show details for that user, such as Top 10 Domains by Bandwidth. Further analysis could include when the user accessed the domain and how much bandwidth they used.
Logging and reporting capabilities provide relevant web usage information available to administrators and non-IT staff whenever they need it. This makes it easy to manage web usage and provide accountability.

Virtual Editorial Board: Electric bikes on Boulder paths
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
The DailyCamera has picked the topic of e-bikes as their topic of discussion for this week, and you thought the comments on 303cycling got out of hand. Either way, there are some good ones there in there.
From the Daily Camera
This week's question: Boulder may allow electric bikes on its multi-use paths under a year-long pilot program, which requires City Council approval. Advocates of the program say the bikes are just as safe as regular bicycles, and that it would give more people access to the region's cycling infrastructure. Critics say the paths are already congested, and that the bikes are heavy and fast enough to put pedestrians at risk. What do you think?

Full Submission350.org in partnership with the Center for Biological Diversity UNCSD RIO+20: 350.org Inputs for the Draft Zero process Introduction To ensure a successful Rio+20 Summit,governments and all sectors of society must come together to restore confidence within the international community with ambitious action to address implementation gaps and take further action on the core principles and goals set forth in the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21, and Rio Conventions. From the perspective of the 350 movement--a civil society movement of young people, artists, civil society organizations, faith communities, and citizens of all kinds in nearly every country of the planetHHone of the most important aspects defining the success or failure of the summit will be whether it advances international commitment and ambitious action to fight climate change. The number 350 is the bottom line to define ambitious action to stop the climate crisis. 350 parts per million ppm) of CO2 is what many scientists, climate experts, and over 112 national governments say is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. Accelerating Arctic warming and other early impacts related to climate change have led scientists to conclude that we are already above the safe zone at our current 392 ppm, and that unless we are able to rapidly return to below 350 ppm this century, we risk reaching tipping points and irreversible impacts such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, savanization of the Amazon and major methane releases from increased permafrost melt. In order to ensure the possibility of a sustainable, equitable future for all, the outcomes of the Rio Summit must include concrete action to mitigate climate change that ensures a stable climate at 350 ppm. Concrete proposals for action from Rio to achieve this include: Moving to 100% Renewables Countries should use the UNCSD2012 to take clear action on moving economies towards 100% renewable energy. This is fundamental to the concept of green economy. It will not be sustainable for economies to continue on their current path burning through nonH renewable resources such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Countries must agree upon a vision that ensures clean and renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, developed with involvement and prior consent of local communities. This vision will need to be coupled with initial concrete actions to trigger incentives for this type of shift within economies and to promote growth of innovation and advancement in the renewable Technology sector. Specifically countries should use Rio+20 to: ? Make a clear commitment to clean energy, based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, that includes: o 30% of energy use from renewable sources globally by 2020 o 40% overall improvement in energy efficiency globally by 2020, and o Universal access to modern energy services and ending energy poverty: clean, reliable and affordable energy services for cooking and heating, lighting, communications and productive uses. Eliminating fossil fuel subsidies ? Eliminate fossil fuel subsidies and perverse incentives by 2020, including aid, loans or other subsidies that encourage further development of fossil fuels. This should be in line with the phase out of subsidies agreed upon in the G20 commitment, and revenues should be redirected to support renewable energy and energy efficiency programs, as well as Technology innovation in the renewable sector. ? We should also end subsidies to false energy solutions such as ?clean coal,? nuclear, and large hydro or any projects where environmental and social impacts outweigh their perceived climate benefits. Defining a green and just economy Green economy is a new concept to be discussed at the Rio+20 summit, and therefore requires definition. In developing a vision for a just, green economy and taking the first steps globally on the concept, countries should commit to action on the following points: ? Equity must be at the heart of the green economy, ensuring the right and access through funding and technological support to clean, sustainable development for developing countries and frontline communities in the Global South and North. We must remember that one size does not fit all and that there are common but differentiated responsibilities on the path to a global sustainable future. ? Providing access to green job opportunities through policies such as setting targets and resources for capacity building, investment in green technologies, and job training for low income individuals. ? The green economy framework must break down barriers to current Intellectual Property Rights issues that impede sharing important renewable and sustainable development technologies, including technologies for adaptation. This could be achieved through varied incentives, such as creating new innovation hubs and ensuring new technologies remain in the global commons to speed the deployment of clean renewable energy around the world. ? A green economy vision should support cities as innovation hubs for best practices in sustainable policy development and implementation. Cities have become leaders of sustainable development design and implementation. Where countries have floundered cities have provided leadership. Countries should explore increased partnerships with city governments and also share best practices at the international level as well. ? Address change in productionHconsumption patterns as the current patterns lead to unsustainable use of natural resources and increasing greenhouse gases emissions. ? Establish an international financial transaction tax (FTT). According to The Tobin Tax ? A Review of the Evidence, this could raise as much as 400 billion annually. These funds would be essential to making a real impact on combating climate change and eliminating poverty. Supporting and empowering civil society to be a partner in implementing sustainable policies As youth and civil society declared in Copenhagen, ?you can?t make decisions about us, without us?. 350.org works with civil society organizations and in almost every country on earth to build a powerful movement to fight climate change, and through that work we see the powerful local knowledge and organizing capacity that citizens everywhere are utilizing to achieve a sustainable society. Agenda 21 paved the way for substantial and positive changes in the government and nonHstate actor relationship, and has allowed many diverse sectors to begin to work together to ensure a sustainable future. In order for Rio+20 to be a success, civil society involvement must be prioritized, and countries should undertake the following: ? Continue to provide more capacity building opportunities across sectors of civil society and communities in order to empower citizens to have an active part in the implementation process. Where possible, governments should forge specific partnerships with civil society and communities to help implement sound sustainable policies. ? Make public funds available to NGOs that have the ability to help ensure implementation and compliance monitoring where needed. ? Ensure that cooperation mechanisms and government-public partnerships center around best practices and sustainable development in the local context rather than putting a market approach first.

Long term lift truck maintenance
Technology's role
Gaskell shared a story about a manager who saw an unused lift truck parked in an odd corner of the warehouse. He fired it up, saw nothing immediately wrong, and drove the truck over to the loading bay only to find out it had an oil leak, leaving an oil slick on the loading bay.
Truck-mounted technology can now allow managers to quickly assess which trucks are down and why, saving time that might have been wasted investigating on the warehouse floor. And while the fleet maintenance person might only be concerned with the status of the trucks, the same technology can enable operator tracking as well, providing further assurances that the right operator is using the right truck in the right way.
"If you find you're using one truck at 3,000 hours per year and another truck at 1,000 hours per year, you've got a problem," says Flanagan.
But while data can illustrate utilization and efficiency with more clarity, it must be coupled with action.
"Today's managers do not want more data," says Gaskell. "Instead they want information that is delivered in a simple format, that is easy to understand and that can be quickly acted upon. This way management can change operations before it's too late."
Data collection might lead managers on the path to make better use of their existing equipment, or reveal that they have been a bit too successful at right-sizing their fleet.
"A fleet that just barely meets utilization will not make it into the shop," says Shephard. "They'll need them on the floor. They're hamstrung to solve their maintenance problems."
Often, the picture that emerges is a need for improvements on an overwhelming scale. If the changes needed and the resources available don't add up, a company might consider a maintenance agreement with a dealer or other service provider.
Maintenance agreements
Companies are increasingly relying on contracted maintenance services in an effort to control costs and make them more predictable. Unlike many dealers, in-house facilities often lack the ongoing training to keep mechanics up-to-date with rapidly changing lift truck technology, says Shephard. A company might also lack the perspective to know when a facility's maintenance costs are in a good place when compared to other sites or the industry average.
"Thirty years ago, each facility had it's own security department, maintenance department, they did everything," says Michael McKean, fleet management sales and marketing manager for Toyota Material Handling.
"Companies have since focused on core business and have outsourced all they can. It's driven the maintenance business back to where it should be, which is at the dealership."
In recent years, more and more companies are pursuing this option, says Shephard. There are plenty of choices for outsourced maintenance agreements, but dealers are frequently best prepared to offer a full range of services and reporting tools. One reason is simple, says Shephard: No one knows the trucks like the people who made them.
At one end of the maintenance agreement spectrum, the company need only grease the truck every so often and perform pre-shift inspections, with a dealer handling all other maintenance needs. The dealer might run a full-time, on-site maintenance bay, or make visits as needed. Somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, a dealer might handle major repairs only, and leave PMs and other routine maintenance to the company staff.
The key to fleet maintenance, says McKean, is the agreement between the company and the maintenance service provider. "It's checks and balances," he says. "It can not only lock in business for the dealer, but it also results in predictable costs for the company."
Any good maintenance agreement requires good communication, he says, with a clear understanding of what the customer needs and what the dealer can offer. A good outsourced maintenance proposal, according to Flanagan, should aim for at least 15 percent reduction in maintenance costs.
Following an asset survey, says Flanagan, a dealer might confer with managers to identify an appropriate core fleet as well as a standby fleet. "So, if the truck is down, you aren't down," he adds. They might also identify a swing fleet suitable for use in two or more applications, says Flanagan. This avoids the likelihood of a dedicated fleet being over- or under-worked.
By becoming involved in all aspects of fleet maintenance, a dealer agreement can also allow a company to bridge the natural gap between fleet managers and staff managers. "Outsourcing in-house maintenance requires time to understand what is best for the company," says McKean. "In the end, a company might find that unnecessary fleet maintenance staff can be redirected to other areas of facility maintenance, resulting in optimized resources instead of layoffs."
And instead of parts languishing in a maintenance bay or disappearing onto the warehouse floor, the dealer can assume responsibility for tracking each and every item.
"They don't get paid unless they keep good records, whereas an in-house program might not have such an incentive," says Gaskell.
According to Gaskell, the most important thing to consider when selecting a service provider is uptime, not the cost of each repair.
"If I had 100 percent uptime, I'd gladly pay twice as much for the service," says Gaskell. "That said, you also need robust reporting to benchmark company costs against industry averages."
Flanagan agrees. For companies with sites across multiple states or countries, how do you know what's world class? How do you benchmark costs internally from site to site? You might have a site that has a lower cost per hour than the others, so you decide to benchmark to that site. But what if that cost is still above industry average?
With a targeted goal and the support to reach it, companies can replace waste and reactive maintenance with confidence and efficient resource management.
"That's long-term thinking," says McKean. "If you don't have that mentality, that's where a competitor will come in and get that contract."
