Jet Pack Joyride Birthday (5 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I have an Autistic son who decided he wanted his birthday party to be styled after one of his favorite video games. I had to be careful, because even though there is a lot going on in the video game, my son can only handle so much visual stimulation. So I went to task to pull out what were his favorite parts and pieces of the game and it turned into a really fun table/party to put together. There was just the right amount of decoration for him to be excited, but not too much as to overwhelm his senses! The first thing I started with was a front to a crate to replicate the crates stacked in the background of the game. My husband then made the "jetpack" from a design I found on Pintrest. I contacted the welding teacher at our local highschool and had one of the studets design a custom machine/industrial cake stand just for the party. The new, washed, unused gas can was what I put the drinks in. Individual Gatorade bottles with the labels and lids off where used for the drinks with striped paper straws for an extra touch of fun. The shirts and glasses, as well as the cookies, and cake pops with glasses represent the main character. The motorcycle (hog) and shark fin cupcakes refer to a couple of different style of vehicles you can aquire in the game, and the green mohawk was the favorite hair style of my son. The gold balloons are for the gold coins you get to collect while playing the game to purchase additional vehicles, hair styles, clothing, etc. Each boy got to keep a t-shirt and glasses as well as a small goody bag that I had put together. We had the party at a local indoor bounce house and it was a huge success. Everyone who had seen the game knew right away what everything meant and my son is still wearing the jetpack!

With the exception of Phil Spector's post-production on Let It Be, every Beatles recording-from the first single ("Love Me Do") to the last album (Abbey Road)-was produced by Martin. He also gave them their first recording contract, signing the fledgling foursome (with Pete Best still on drums) after an audition at Abbey Road studio on June 6th, 1962, at manager Brian Epstein's request.

ZF-3739: Stream wrapper should be disabled by default
The new implementation of Zend_View in 1.6.0 provides a stream wrapper that can be used when short tags are disabled. This needs to be disabled by default as it: * degrades performance * causes issues with suhosin (user stream wrappers are considered attack vectors by suhosin) When disabling, the stream wrapper should also be documented with examples of how to enable it, a note about issues with suhosin, and a note about performance degradation.
Fixed and documented in trunk and 1.6 release branch.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jes Great present for beer lovers. Great gift ideas!!! The people I have given it to as gifts keep going back to buy more and more. May 1, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edro3111 First Time Buyer I bought my first Beers of the World pack and randomly selected one out of the fridge every couple of days. I even opened them without looking at the brand. After tasting a few sips I mentally graded the brews and then checked to see where they came from. I wasn't disappointed in any of them. It gives the beer drinker insight into the subtle differences in brewing techniques and ingredients world wide. Nice change of pace from American beers. I highly recommend that you try them. August 4, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beer is food guy A great choice anytime. Great choice if you want a good choice of different beers. A fun way to enjoy beer, drank some I never would have before. January 22, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by Me beer like Great variety and tastes! Brought these to a Super Bowl party. It was perfect to try all these different brews with various foods and snacks. I will definitely buy it again. February 10, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chris Good beers and fun to try This is a really fun gift pack - the beer comes out to a reasonably good price. However, the packaging says "imported beers," but two of the beers are brewed in the United States (Blue Moon - Colorado - and Kingfisher - New York). Other than that, if you want to have a variety of beer in the fridge, it's a good pack August 30, 2009
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jersey Mike Nice variety, variable quality I bought this collection on sale to try to expand my beer experience. The selections tended to cover the lower range of mass-market imports. The one standout in this particular case was an 'exceptional' Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier. The rest of the assortment was split 45/55 between 'average' beers like Warsteiner and Singha, and 'poor' ones like Tecate and Caguama. Good choice to bring to a party, or beer-tasting session. December 19, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by ry Eh. I loved the Winter Brew selection from Cost Plus. I saw that the International Beers were on sale and I wanted to try them, thinking they would be similar to the WB selection. The beers tasted similar to one another. I probably pass on this. (The Winter Brew selection was REALLY good.) December 28, 2010

Buckets and bowls are stacked in a corner of Ron and Linda Potwin's living room, ready to catch rainwater from a leaking roof.
Parts of the ceiling, bowed and cracked, are supported by beams and poles.
"The roof only leaks when it rains," Ron says, showing the couple's ability to stay lighthearted in the face of a struggle that's been ongoing since August 2011, when Tropical Storm Irene battered the region with heavy rains, wind and flooding.
Through 51 years of marriage, the Potwins have overcome struggles through their faith, hope and strength.
They're now on their way to having life restored to normal after connecting with a disaster case manager at Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Albany, an organization that's associated with the Fulton Montgomery Long Term Recovery Committee.
"It's a blessing, believe me," Linda said. "I just thank God for it, because we never could have done it on our own."
Catholic Charities New York, in recognition for its success helping victims within the Archdiocese of New York recover from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee, now provides disaster recovery services beyond the Hudson Valley. The Catholic Charities Disaster Case Management Program works directly with the New York State Office of Emergency Management and 24 partner agencies to provide ongoing case management for nearly 10,000 families recovering from Hurricanes Irene, Lee and Superstorm Sandy spread over 34 counties from Long Island to the Canadian border. While many short-term goals following these massive storms have been met, Catholic Charities is now focusing on helping families with long-term case management to rebuild their homes and lives.

HALF A WORLD AWAY, in Seattle, MomsRising.org is fighting for change, not so much in the streets but on Capitol Hill and in the halls of the country's legislatures. With one million members and a reach of three million people through blogs, Twitter and Facebook, the media-savvy mothers' advocacy group has made an art of collecting women's stories—lots of them, by turns wistful, plucky and livid—and packaging them to provoke legislative change.
Sheryl, from Ohio, posts:
The economy has certainly hurt our family. My husband is working (yeah), but he is still making the amount that he made on unemployment (which is barely enough to cover the bills for our family). I just had a stillbirth last March. Had it not been for Medicaid, I would not have been able to pay the medical bills incurred due to that loss.
And this, from a graphic artist in Wisconsin:
I have been told—to my face—no less than 3 times during my adult life that when a particular job I had applied for or wanted to advance to had come down to 2 candidates (me and a man), the man "had" to be selected because, after all, he has a family to support . . . The third time, I was the corporate art director . . . still married with 2 children and a 3rd on the way. A new male hire, 15 years my junior with NO relevant experience whom I had just 2 weeks to train to his new position, was suddenly and without explanation made the new art dept. head . . . I subsequently quit and filed a gender discrimination suit. Enough was enough!!!
Written by users or by the 450 bloggers for the MomsRising website, the stories are bound together in customized, thematically arranged "storybooks" and delivered to legislators, in person, by a Moms-Rising committee. "Often what we think ourselves and hear from our members is, 'Oh my gosh, I'm the only one who this is happening to,' " says Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, the turbocharged Seattle-based author who cofounded the group in 2006. "Many women don't feel like experts on legislation [for health care or paid parental leave]. But when we ask them to tell their own stories, they do know what's going on in their own families—and then we deliver those stories to Congress."
Studies show that what works best on the Web, Rowe-Finkbeiner says, is a personal story backed by a few facts—"rather than full-fledged, fact-heavy wonkiness." MomsRising clearly has the mix just right: The group is widely credited with helping to pass the federal Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, which makes it easier for women to sue employers who pay them less than they pay men for the same job. The strategy was a textbook example of social change via social media storytelling: First, the group solicited an arsenal of well-documented, -guaranteed-to-tick-you-off stories of pay discrimination, which it posted on the website. Then Moms-Rising migrated the action to the offline world, meeting with the staff of 44 senators in their state offices. Members also sent nearly 85,000 constituent letters to both houses of Congress. When Senator John McCain dissed the legislation, saying women didn't need fair pay—just "more education and training"—MomsRising members descended on D.C. and happily blizzarded his office with thousands of members' résumés. Guess what, the women said as they hand-delivered the stacks. We are educated. We are qualified. And we still need equal pay for equal work.

Why is Rashida Jones desirable?
Rashida Jones is pretty much our ideal. She's gorgeous (heartbreakingly so), brilliant (Harvard) and not only possesses comedic acting chops but is an insanely talented writer as well. Parks and Recreation may have an uncertain future, but Jones fortunately just signed on to Steve Carell's sure-to-be-hilarious TBS sitcom, Tribeca.

Reviews for Country Fried Chicken
"After reading the reviews i used buttermilk instead and the chicken was really good."
"Very good recipe and so easy!! My family love it!"
"You should not rate a recipe you have not tried. You can tell by the ingredients or cooking method whether it will be "healthy" or not. Many recipes do not give nutritional data - if it is a family recipe you will not have the data to list with it. A bad rating for a recipe you have never made because it is too salty, too fatty, or deemed too unhealthy is not why they have the ratings. It is just for taste of final product . If you didn't make it you cannot give a rating. Go to recipes and find the "Healthy Eating" category for the low salt low fat low carb diet recipes these food critics are looking for.I found this recipe great and tasted like my mother used to make - she died in 1973 and the recipe died with her so I am very happy to find your recipe!"
"My family loved it first time and it was easy !"
"This recipe is good as is, but I like to soak the chicken in buttermilk for a couple hours before cooking. I also use seasoned salt in place of the garlic salt."

We have a data-point x and many classes. Let $P(c|x)$ the probability that $x$ is of class $c$. We note $c_1$ the most probable class for $x$ (i.e. $P_1=P(c_1|x)$ is the highest probability), $c_2$ the second most probable class for $x$ (i.e. $P_2=P(c_2|x)$ is the second highest probability ($P_1> P_2$)).
Obviously, when $P_1$is close to P2 (i.e. $P_1P_2$ is small or closer to 0) we are not sure whether $c_1$ or $c_2$is the true class of $x$, then it is useful to ask for the true label of $x$.
We define $u$ to be a threshold value for the difference between the highest and the second highest probability (a threshold for $P_1$-P2); thus, if $P_1-P_2 > u$ then we can (with some cost) ask for the true class of $x$ (let's note it $c_x$).
$c_1$(the predicted class for $x$) is usually equals to cx, but may sometimes not be equal. Given this problem, I want to learn a good value for the parameter $u$. To do that, currently, I just set u at an initial value (e.g. $u=0.2$) and then adjust this value according to whether or not $c_1$ equals $c_x$:
if $c_1 = c_x$then we get more confident and thus decrease the value of $u$ (e.g. $u=u-\epsilon$), otherwise (when $c_1$!= cx) we get less confident and thus increase the value of u (e.g. $=u+\epsilon$), where $\epsilon=0.01$ for example.
Is there any better why to "learn" a value for $u$ ? (Assuming that we can start with a hight initial value of u in order to get labelled data at the beginning, or assuming that I have a subset of labelled data that I can to use to learn the value of $u$).

ZF-3097: Create new route for multilanguage sites
An oft-used URL pattern for multi-lingual sites is to use the form '/:lang/...'. Currently, however, this is a difficult routing schema to achieve if you want to leave the flexibility to create a conventional modular site.
The suggestion is to create a route that extends the current Module route, and which takes an argument of a default language to use:
$router->addRoute('default', new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Multilingual('de')); // default language is German
This would give such routes first-class support in the ZF MVC.
Postponing to 1.7.0; Martel and DASPRiD are working on a solution, part of which is included in 1.6, but the rest of which will happen for 1.7.0. At that time, we can easily add language-based routes.
I'm only responsible for the config- and hostname-part. Martel is the maintainer of the actual partial path chaining. As he is currently quite busy, I don't think that partial path chaining will make it into 1.7. Even 1.8 isn't really clear.
Assigning to Ben; this is addressed with chained routes in 1.7.0, IIRC.
Partial path route implemented in 1.8.
Can anybody of the participants explain, how to solve the requirements of a default multilanguage route? I can't see an solution using chained routes.
You simply take a standard route ":language", and all your other routes. Then you say for example
$languageRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':language', array('language' => 'de');
$blogRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Static('blog');
$blogRoute = $languageRoute->chain($blogRoute);
For more examples, see documentation or ask in #zftalk on chat.freenode.org.

Belgium's economy thriving despite Euro crisis
Though Belgium only re-established a government about half a year ago, the country has come back strong and is one of the only 3 countries in the Euro zone whose economic activity is higher now than it was back in 2008, before the crisis.
While others countries are suffering extreme economic hardships Belgium's economy is doing remarkably well. Governor Luc Coene from the National bank confirms an expected growth of 0.6 percent for the Belgian economy during the next couple of months. This growth expectation is the highest of all Euro countries excluding Germany whose expected growth rate is 1 whole percent. The growth expectation for Belgium next year is even larger than both those percentages: 1.4 percent.
Nevertheless Belgian leaders know that if the Euro crisis worsens it will affect their economy negatively. This is one of the reasons Belgium has donated 12 million Euros to the European emergency distress fund.

Easy set up and quite By Joe on 6/19/2016Joe would recommend this product to a friendThe 1/10 chiller works as advertised. It chills my tank down to 77 in no time and is definitely quiet.
Great chiller By Doug on 5/12/2016Doug would recommend this product to a friendI'm using this product on a nano tank, with the expectation of moving to a 90 gal in the near future. This product lives up to its claims. It is very quiet and efficient. I would recommend this product to anyone in need of a high quality chiller.
Cool By Russ K. on 7/2/2015Russ K. would recommend this product to a friendI have the 1/10 HP model on a 55 gallon tank. Works very well. Quiet.
You can calibrate the temperature sensor to match your other probes. It's been a bit finicky for me. When the chiller thinks it's dropped a degree, it has actually dropped 1.4*. So I went from having a tank that gradually crept up in temperature throughout the day by about 3* to one that swings up and down 1.4* throughout the day. I may put the setpoint higher to see if it's more stable.
Good chiller By Oneilwiz on 6/2/2015Oneilwiz would recommend this product to a friendI have Been dodging the chiller for hears but I can't this summer. I am happy with the chiller just one complain which is the front panel buttons could have designed better. I would recommend it especially for NYC hot weather in the summer
Good product By Dbrown on 5/6/2015Dbrown would recommend this product to a friendI install this on my 75 gallon tank ( 3 weeks ago), keep temp between 77.5 to 78.9 with a set point of 78. Happy with this product so so good.
Awsome By Captainv on 11/26/2013Captainv would recommend this product to a friendHad been putting this off for so long, and with the heater running now in the winter tank been pushing the limits on the temp. Ordered this unit and working along with my Apex its keeps my tanks temp at a very steady temp. Work awesome and is so quite I hear a click when it starts up if I'm in the room other then that never even know its there except my tank temp is spot on. 75 Gal tank its working awesome. Sooooo Recommend.
Great Chiller By JC on 5/12/2013JC would recommend this product to a friendI've been using this chiller for over 3 years now and the only maintenance that is done on it has been cleaning the hairs from my dog on it and some vinegar flushes. I am from PR, 90' degrees average and it runs almost all day without a problem.
Great chiller By Robert on 5/21/2012Robert would recommend this product to a friendI just got this chiller on 5/17/12 my tank was getting over 83 deg. out here in the arizona heat where its already 105 deg. in a matter of 24 hrs. the chiller had my tank down to 77.5 deg. must say very happy with how well this thing works and how super easy it was to install and setup. also very good on how quite it is....... all and all everyone should use this chiller
Quiet, simple to set up, low power consumption By Koqui on 2/2/2012Koqui would recommend this product to a friendUsed over this hot summer in NYC and it made a world of a difference on my coral and fish. Runs very quiet and you will only notice the unit running when the compressor turns on. Don't forget to purchase a pump to go along with the chiller. Using it on a 29 gallon nano.
Super Quiet By Jaime on 12/14/2011Jaime would recommend this product to a friendI originally bought this chiller for a 28g Nano cube (over kill I know). But my intentions were to keep using this when I moved up to a larger tank. This thing is really quiet which was the main selling point because at the time I had my nano cube right next to my bed. I couldn't even tell when it turned on. The fans in the tank's hood were way louder then the chiller. Since then I now have an 80g tank with a 40g sump and this chiller keeps it at a stable temperature no problem, without constantly being on might I add. Overall it is a great quiet chiller that you can tuck away off to the side without it being an eyesore.

Rep. Curtis Oda, R-Clearfield, reveals one of his weapons at the Utah State Capitol building.
It's not a privilege, it's your right, guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. That's the pro-gun argument.
But Rep. Curtis Oda, R-Clearfield, bases his support of gun rights on an even higher power. "The Constitution may be right or wrong, but we have a God-given right to defend ourselves," he says.
That conviction has led him to fight any anti-gun legislation introduced at the Utah Legislature. It's partly because of his efforts that Utah is a "shall issue," not a "may issue," state when it comes to concealed carry permits. That means you don't need a reason to get a permit; it's your right.
"I decided no one really understood firearms issues," says Oda. A dapper, silver-haired Japanese-American, Oda keeps a semi-automatic handgun under his suit jacket, in a shoulder holster. In his view, either people were comfortable with guns or they had a knee-jerk "eek-a-gun" attitude. The gap, he says, was because of a lack of knowledge about guns.
So, over the last 10 years, Oda and his friend, gun lobbyist Clark Aposhian, have offered legislators and members of the news media free concealed carry training. (The legislature voted to keep the names of permit holders from the public.) The result of their education efforts? "We don't have to fight as many 'bad' bills anymore," says Aposhian.
The legal upshot? In Utah, there is no limit on bulk purchases of handguns. Yes, you can buy all the handguns you want. At one time. The state does not require owners to report lost or stolen guns. The state does not require training or fingerprinting prior to purchase and does not ban large-capacity magazines. In 2003, Utah amended its concealed carry laws to make it clear that, yes, permit holders may bring their guns into public schools. By some estimates, Utah is the second most armed state in the country with 46,898 background checks per 100,000 residents.
Utah is part of a larger trend. It's estimated that the number of concealed carry permit holders in this country is now between 4 million and 7 million. Gary Sackett, one of the founders of Utahns Against Gun Violence, says this is due less to education than concentrated efforts by the NRA. "I grew up in Montana. I grew up hunting," Sackett says. "And I'll defend to the death your right to own a long gun. But that's not what we're talking about now."
Last October, an Associated Press analysis showed that gun sales are booming, gun company stock prices are up and that the number of federally licensed retail gun dealers has increased. And that, says Sackett, is because of the NRA.
According to an ABC News report, "The lobbying organization has had more cash on hand during the Obama years than it has since 2004, finishing 2010 with more than $24 million, according to the most recent figures available." In 2011, the NRA and other gun-rights groups spent $14 million on campaigns and lobbying, according to the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics.
Originally, the NRA, founded by Civil War generals appalled by the poor marksmanship of their troops, set up marksmanship training camps and taught the proper handling of guns. In 1934, it supported the National Firearms Act, the first major federal gun-control legislation.
Now the NRA argues for gun ownership with no training required. (When I took my concealed weapons permit class last fall, I was fingerprinted, photographed and given a three-hour lecture on gun rights. I didn't even touch a gun.)
"We have the most valued [concealed carry] permit in the nation," says Aposhian. In June 2012, 380,036 Americans had Utah concealed carry permits. The state issues permits to residents and non-residents, and as of October, 75,867 permits had been issued in 2012. Seventy-five percent of those were issued by mail to people living out of Utah, many of whom have never set foot in the state.
Part of the reason our permit is so popular is quid pro quo: Utah recognizes every other state's concealed carry permits. But Utah's permit is easy for other states to accept because, Aposhian says, "As of 2002, we do a federal background check on permit holders every 24 hours. Your record has to be clear to get the permit in the first place. After that, all changes are recent, so our computer cross-checks names of crimes committed with the list of permit holders." And because gun ownership is "a right, not a privilege," the state scrupulously avoids making money on issuing permits. The fee for residents is $46, the out-of-state fee is $51, and Utah is the only state that has lowered its fees. You can renew your permit online for $15. Utah permits cover 35 states, or as Aposhian likes to put it, "80 percent of the landmass of the United States."
We're well armed, alarmingly so to gun-control advocates, who often aren't even familiar with the guns they want to ban. But gun-rights supporters ask, "If owning guns is so bad, and Utahns own so many, where's the bloodbath?"
Statistics only tell the part the storyteller wants you to know.
In 2009, for the first time, there were more gun-related deaths than car-related deaths in Utah. But gun deaths were not on the rise. Instead, fatalities in car accidents were declining. According to data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 80 percent of the 2009 Utah firearm deaths were suicides. In 2010, there were 22 firearms murders in Utah. The Institute for Economics and Peace has named Utah one of the five most peaceful states in the nation, a ranking based partly on gun ownership and homicide rates.

Skating Versus Ice Cream
"In 1927, GE came out with refrigerators, and that was a problem for ice guys," says Michael Farr, who is now president of Asael Farr and Sons Co., the parent company of Farr Better Ice Cream in Salt Lake City. "Ice plants across the country were faced with a decision-to either convert to ice skating rinks or to ice cream manufacturing. So in 1929, my grandfather Dexter installed the first commercial ice cream plant in Ogden."
The Farr product was sold in an ice cream shop attached to the plant. That shop is still in operation today at its original site on 21st Street. Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry were the three flavors offered early on, and a hefty single scoop cone cost a nickel. Over the years, that has evolved into the creation of more than 600 flavors of ice cream and frozen desserts.
Dexter managed the company before handing operations over to his son, Dexter Duane, in the late 1960s. Dexter himself came into the plant daily until he died in 1980 at age 82. Michael Farr says his grandfather "had been at his desk working earlier that day. He loved the business."
Dexter Duane ran the company for the next 35 years, getting his sons Michael, Darin and Nate involved when they were teenagers. They lead the company today, with Darin serving as VP of sales and vendor relations and Nate as VP of finance. Their father, now 80, remains involved and still comes into the plant each day.

you know i have been getting various LPKs for years and got only one gritty trigger with one CMMG LPK i got from AIM years ago.
since the panic hit i figured i would get a LPK to finish up my latest build while i could still get the parts.
the rush was on so all i could get was a DPMS blister-pack retail.
now i have used this retail pack for years and haven't had any out of spec stuff. generally the retail packed kits have better quality than the bulk packed ones --in DPMS anyway.
but this one has some real "doozies" --LOL!
i should have know something was up with it cause it had extra pins and springs that wern't on the chart on the back of the blister card!
first up is the safety --this one has two positions --SAFE and SAFE-- it seems they skipped the machining operation for the fire part and all this safety is just a round pin like thing--and the machining they did do on it for the detent pin are so off, the safety if installed would be sticking out the left side of the lower --quite a bit.
the trigger also has a few problems it fits very tight on the disconnector and the little flared out spring that goes in there won't fit as the whole they drilled for the spring is too small and too shallow with no top flair.
the trigger can be fixed, the safety could probably be made to work --but i'll toss it in my junk box and install a spare.
if a newbie had got this LPK i don't think he would be going around saying how easy a lower is to assemble--LOL
the rest of the kit was fine --the trigger pull seems fine after a little tune up and will only get better--
be sure to check your LPKs before you start or you could end up with a PITA.
i have gotten many LPKs from DPMS that were fine and i am sure this is the exception rather than the rule.

"It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want—oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!"—Mark Twain
As I edge up the age ladder, the more sentimental I get. Old songs, romantic standards from the 1940s, '50s and '60s, make my eyes well up. Every photograph of my wife, my children, my parents, my brothers brings back a moment that is indelibly etched in memory. Every nostalgic encounter I experience is associated with a specific time of my life: a day here, a day there, a moment—images that seem to measure my life with an easy tempo, like the steady comfort of a metronome.
Everyone has a past, but it's the passage of time that gives us the perspective to understand and value it. Our memories show us who we are and where we came from. They piece together life's experiences and give our personal stories meaning.
Spring is my favorite season, the time of year that always brings a smile to my face. When I remember all those springtimes from a lifetime ago, the metronome quickens, and I can see that my life has gone by far too quickly, as quickly as snow melting after a long winter.
Spring will always be the college years in South Bend, Ind. with my girl, Margaret Mary Scanlan, now my wife of almost 50 years. In those days we walked everywhere—to movies, dinners, dances. No automobiles were allowed on the Notre Dame or St. Mary's campuses, but distance didn't feel like an obstacle back then. We were with one another, and that was all that mattered.
I can see it clearly: the green stubs of grass starting to show their heads across campus, the new bright buds on the maples arching over the Avenue and the two of us walking, holding hands, stealing a kiss now and then. When I left her at her dorm and headed back to the Notre Dame campus, the only thought in my mind was of when I would see her again.
Spring will always be hitching a ride in high school from the bus stop two miles away from home in the rural outskirts of Cincinnati. It was a long walk through the hills and open fields near our home off Section Road—just warm enough to take off your shirt, and the air was fresh and a little damp. I do not remember what I thought about on those odysseys. I suspect it was probably the shifting daydreams most 16-year olds have: part baseball, part escape from school, part mindless conjecture about tomorrow and the next day.
Spring will always be the smell of Mom's pies cooling on the kitchen window sill or raking up the soggy leaves left under the melting snow. And it will be those images of my brothers carrying pile after pile of dark, damp leaves to a compost dump my dad used to fertilize his rose bushes.
Spring will always be the smell of the first magnolia blossoms in my parent's backyard. It will be hosing winter salt and road dirt off the car—and then turning the hose on my brothers. It will be hitchhiking home for spring break from Notre Dame to Cincinnati, through the Indiana countryside with its early green patches, the last snow in tiny strips between the hills.
Spring will always be the memories of simple things, of new beginnings, of young love. This year, I want to remember all of that—and live it, too. I want this spring to be a season of renewal, of commitment to family, friends and community. Take some quality time to rethink and dissect your inner core. Take your foot off the accelerator and focus on those three things that, in retrospect, have been the driver in making our families and country so resilient.
Take control. Lead by example. In the final analysis, we are the only ones responsible for leading ourselves to a better tomorrow. Today, this moment in time, it's more important than ever to capture this mindset. It's time to be optimistic, to move forward, to believe again. It is time to make new commitments and new memories, and make them count.

Boombotix was founded by Lief Storer. Storer commuted daily and used DJ headphones for his source of music while cycling. However, he encountered near accidents while wearing the hefty headphones and knew he had to create a new product that was safer and maintained the convenience and portability of headphones.
As an engineer by day and artist by night, he fiddled with different mediums and came across an asymmetrical toy skull. The skull had the right dimensions to fit a small speaker within its confines. Storer carved the eyes out of the skull to make two hollow spaces and placed small speakers into the newly formed spaces. The prototype for Boombotix was created in that moment.
Storer recruited a team of accomplished people that were skilled in marketing, engineering, sales, design, and operation backgrounds. With dedication and much testing, Boombotix speakers were soon on the market boasting ultra-portability, excellent sound, and clean modern designs. Boombotix is constantly innovating their speakers with new technology and strive to create the best speakers for an active person.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DJ2005 just like the one I had. Shipped quickly. Arrived in excellent condition. This screen is awesome as an office divider. I needed a second one and World Market discontinued it but the clerk in the store looked up the product name and I came home and ordered online...on sale! March 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Crafty Lady Perfect room divider! I bought two of these dividers! I have a weird living room area because it's kind of long like a galley. I bought these dividers to square off my living room and create a craftroom/office area. The magazine racks hold all my mags nice and neat and the metal box is great for extra "stuff". You can even add magnets to the metal box create a little message center or hang your fave photos! The "S" hooks are perfect for hanging a calendar and extra things clipboards. The cool thing is that you can set the panel down like an accordian, or fold it in an arc position. I may dye the fabric panels or paint some designs to give them more personality. The off white canvas is a little boring. I might need another one. Three would be perfect! October 4, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cat cousin Easy and versatile I use this screen to cover part of a large window in my living room. I didn't want curtains and tried a smaller screen that worked well. The size of this screen is better plus it provides extra utility with the shelf, basket, hooks, and magazine rack, although I may not use all of them. It was easy to assemble, even for someone who is usually all thumbs. I needed help only to hold the panels steady while adding the bolts to the hinges. It is sturdy but not too heavy and seems very stable. A good bargain. February 18, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Native Oregonian Love it! I'm using this screen to block a really ugy insulated water heater in my laundry room. It is sturdy and has more than one purpose, yeah! Although it's a little tricky for one person to assemble, it didn't take me more than 15 minutes to do so. Someone said you have to take it apart to clean the cloth panels and that's just not so. Once you have the screen together, you then put the cloth panels in. It is only a matter of taking the accessories off to get to the cloth. I hang my broom and mop off one side and have there is a magazine rack that I use to dry wool socks and other items that can't dry in the dryer. This is a wonderful product. February 3, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by lotusblossom Love It! I share a one-bedroom apt with my adult son who is going to trade school. He's alternating school & work 2 months at a time for the next 2 years. His bedroom is the living room. This screen is perfect for hiding all his stuff that goes back & forth to school with him because we have no space to actually put it away. When he moves out for good, I plan on getting a studio apt & I'm already envisioning all the ways I can use this screen. October 25, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by silverliebt Nice for design studio I bought two of these and find the visual divider to be helpful in a big open space with other co-workers. The racks are great for portfolio pieces, magazine or calendars and the box nice as an "in box" for mail. The design is clean and modern, easy to put together, and is fashion trend-resistant. March 13, 2009
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kellygirl Best one for the money! Versatile I use it in the den in the corner to hide the computer and to be private also. Sometimes no one knows I'm here. It's wonderful. January 2, 2009
Rated 4 out of 5 by The Versital Decorator Great product I entertain a lot; this screen has allowed me to block the views of my living room and dinning room, which both have direct line of sight to my kitchen. "Out of sight out of mind", the screen allows me to enjoy talking with my friends and family without viewing dirty dishes and counter tops with pots and pans. I like the screen so much, I'm going to buy 2 to 5 more to use as moveable shoji walls for 2 of my outside patios. I want to accomplish blocking extreme heat from hitting my tropical plants, and stop the neighbors from looking in. The screens being metal will withstand heat and water, and the fabric can be easily changed to match any decor. Currently I'm in a tropical phase, but the clean canvas goes with everything. I leave one panel to swing as a door, and enjoy using the accessories as a cook book holder and magazine rack. Entire walls of privacy for $200-$500's, very make shift, but no permits and changable in formation use and at any time; seems like a great deal to me. January 6, 2010

I heard about a new study that found women who develop breast tenderness after starting hormone therapy are at higher risk for breast cancer. I've had some soreness—should I stop taking HT?
Not necessarily, says Wulf Utian, MD, PhD, executive director and founder of the North American Menopause Society. But you may want to talk to your doctor about reducing your dose or changing to a different FDA-approved drug formulation, he says.
For years, researchers have wondered whether hormone therapy that combines estrogen and progesterone raises the risk for breast cancer. The potential connection: Stimulating breast cells to grow—which hormones can do—can also encourage the rate of growth of latent breast cancer cells; both of these effects might be the cause of breast tenderness.
But since no study has proven cause and effect, the risk is only hypothetical. And the research that has led to all the concern is based on data that was collected over 10 years ago, when dosages were much higher. Moreover, some doctors believe you may lower your risk by switching from progesterone to selective estrogen reuptake modulators (SERMs) such as raloxifene. Ask your provider about your treatment options.
A New Risk Factor For Breast Cancer?
Should you be concerned about breast tenderness?

In Remote Desktop Connection, server authentication verifies that you are connecting to the correct remote computer, or server. This security measure helps prevent you from connecting to a different computer or server than you intended and potentially exposing confidential information.
The strength of the verification required to connect is determined by your system security policy, which is set by your system administrator. If the actual verification does not meet minimum policy requirements, then you have three available authentication options:
Connect and don't warn me
With this option, even if Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the remote computer, it connects anyway.
Warn me
With this option, if Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the remote computer, it warns you so that you can choose whether to proceed with the connection or not.
Do not connect
With this option, if Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the remote computer, you won't be able to connect.
If you're not sure which option to choose, ask your system administrator or the owner of the remote computer.
Remote computers that are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 or earlier operating systems cannot provide their identity for verification. If you know that the remote computer is running one of those earlier operating systems, you can avoid authentication warnings by choosing Connect and don't warn me, but be aware that this option is less secure than the other two.
If you want to permanently change the server authentication option, you can save your settings for that remote computer to an .rdp file (a file that contains all the settings for a connection to a particular remote computer). To do this, in Remote Desktop Connection, select the authentication level you want, and then, on the General tab, click Save or Save As. To connect to the same remote computer in the future, double-click the .rdp file.
If you have not yet installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1, you will see the following options instead:
Always connect, even if authentication fails
Warn me if authentication fails
Do not connect if authentication fails
For more information about installing Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1), see Learn how to install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1).

ZF-5948: Neverending loop in ->parse()
->setArguments() require an array as the only parameter, but setting it to something else i.e. a string or number will cause ->parse() to jump into a neverending loop at line 697: Warning: array_shift(): The argument should be an array in \includes\ZendFramework-1.7.4\library\Zend\Console\Getopt.php on line 697
An error message both in ->setArguments() and ->parse() would be more apropriate :)
Attached patch to throw Zend_Console_Getopt_Exception when not given an array as parameter. Another solution would be to transform the non-array value into an array and work with that. However, current documentation would suggest the Exception should be the expected behaviour.

Apparently, Australian founders have better entrepreneur DNA than those in Silicon Valley. These results come from pre-screening psychometric tests that all Founder Institute candidates are required to take, evaluating them on six key entrepreneurial characteristics: emotional stability, fluid intelligence, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extraversion.
More than 20,000 applicants from 55 cities have completed this test, with Sydney and Perth having higher average scores than Silicon Valley in almost every trait. Adeo Ressi, the Founder and CEO of the Founder Institute, is not at all surprised by these rankings, citing the thriving Australian startup ecosystem as a contributing factor.
You would be hard pressed to find a faster-growing startup ecosystem than Australia's, and so it is no surprise that Australians have many of the traits that we find to correlate with strong startup founders." - Adeo Ressi
Read the full article by Rose Powell on StartupSmart: Australia beats Silicon Valley on almost every entrepreneurial trait: Global accelerator.
If you are looking to launch a startup in Australia, then apply to the Founder Institute today. Applications are currently open in Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne.

Cleveland, OH (August 10, 2009) – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum today announced that Austin City Limits will be officially designated an historic rock and roll site as a part of the Museum's Landmark Series this coming October.
Terry Stewart, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and Terry Lickona, Executive Producer of Austin City Limits, made the announcement at the KLRU-TV studio, home of the groundbreaking Austin City Limits series now in its 35th season.
"Austin City Limits represents one of the most unique archives of modern American music," said Terry Stewart. "It shares with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the mission of collecting, preserving and interpreting the rock and roll story and educating fans about the cultural significance of this art form."
The Rock Hall will unveil a historic marker on Thursday, October 1 to celebrate the premiere of the 35th season of Austin City Limits on PBS. As a part of this designation, the Rock Hall and Austin City Limits will host educational panels with artists, members of the media and ACL staff discussing the significance of the groundbreaking music series and its impact on our culture.
"With more than 800 performances on our stage from all musical genres its really amazing to receive this honor from the Rock Hall," said Terry Lickona, "the places to receive this honor are iconic and we are thrilled to be included among such legendary venues."
The Rock Hall's Landmark Series designates historic rock and roll landmarks around the United States that are essential to tell the story of rock and roll music. There are currently nine sites including the Whisky-a-Go-Go in Los Angeles where the Doors were resident performers; King Records in Cincinnati, a prominent American record label started in the 40s, The Crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi and the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa . Five sites are located in the Cleveland area and include Brooklyn High School, the location Elvis played his first concert north of the Mason-Dixon line and WJW Radio, home to Deejay Alan Freed who popularized the term "rock and roll."
Inspired by the music scene that continues to thrive in Austin, ACL has for 35 years presented viewing audiences with live concerts from many of the world's most acclaimed, accomplished and pioneering talent. At the same time the show has represented Austin to the nation and the world, laying the foundation for Austin's reputation as the Live Music Capital.
"Austin City Limits has been the pride of our community for more than three decades," said Mayor Lee Leffingwell. "That's why it's so gratifying to see the show receive this prestigious national recognition. I salute the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for choosing to honor the show's legacy - and future - of unforgettable performances by America's most treasured musicians."
About Austin City Limits
Austin City Limits has done what no other television series has done in the history of American television. Inspired by the music scene that continues to thrive in Austin, Texas, the show has, for 35 years, presented viewing audiences with live concerts from many of the world's most acclaimed, accomplished and pioneering talent. And while other televised concert shows have come and gone ACL has consistently provided musical artists the platform of a nationally televised performance, in an intimate concert setting, with a straightforward production style. This format is what enables ACL to attract such a stellar lineup of performers year after year. In recent years the show has spawned the annual Austin City Limits Festival, featuring more than 130 bands on eight stages over a three-day weekend each September. Produced by KLRU-TV, funding for Austin City Limits is provided in part by AMD, Budweiser and the Austin Convention Center Department. Additional funding is provided by the Friends of Austin City Limits.
About the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is the nonprofit organization that exists to educate visitors, fans and scholars from around the world about the history and continuing significance of rock and roll music. It carries out this mission both through its operation of a world-class museum that collects, preserves, exhibits and interprets this art form and through its library and archives as well as its educational programs.
The Museum is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. On Wednesdays the Museum is open until 9 p.m. Museum admission is $22 for adults, $17 for seniors (60+), $13 for children (9-12) and children under 8 and Museum members are free.

Photographers Attacked by London Looters
Photographers covering the rioting in London have been assaulted, robbed and had their cameras smashed, according to a report in the London newspaper the Guardian.
The civil unrest began Sunday in the north London district of Tottenham after police shot a black youth and has since spread to other neighborhoods and cities around the UK. Photographers trying to cover the violence have been attacked in several locations. The Web site journalism.co.uk also reported that tv crews and camera trucks have been attacked in several neighborhoods in south and east London.
On Sunday, two photographers represented by the agency Matrix had £8,000 worth of equipment smashed by looters in Tottenham. One was knocked to the ground and kicked, according to an eyewitness quoted in the Guardian. On Tuesday, another photographer was attacked and beaten by four youths in a housing project in Hackney, in East London.
Paul Lewis, a reporter for the Guardian who had tried to cover violence in Hackney, told the paper, "A number of people who have been taking photographs have been attacked," including citizens using cellphone cameras. "I've seen journalists attacked quite badly actually." The paper also reported that photographers and videographers were trying to make themselves inconspicuous by using amateur cameras.

Americans may be divided on partisan and ideological lines, but on at least one issue they agree: Support for clean renewable energy just keeps growing. In a March 2015 Gallup Poll, for example, 79 percent said they wanted the nation to use more solar energy, while 70 percent wanted to see more of the energy we use come from wind.
Every revolution begins with a desire for fundamental change. Ideas are debated, options narrowed, strategy planned and a blueprint for action developed. Supporters are enlisted. A storyline created. Resources are mobilized. And the revolution begins.
A report published by McKinsey Global International in April imagines a workforce revolution with gender parity as the outcome. "The Power of Parity: Advancing Women's Equality in the United States" estimates that realizing the full potential of women in the workforce could boost GDP in the United States by 0.8 percent in just nine years. That amounts to $2.1 trillion, and it's a conservative estimate. Every state and local government has the opportunity to add at least 5 percent to its economic output, and half of the states could increase their GDP by 10 percent, McKinsey's researchers conclude.
With the advent of the Internet of Things, it may seem that technology can make virtually anything "smart." We hear regularly about intelligent transportation systems, electrical grids and vehicles. But what about waste? Can technology make waste smart?
Planning for transportation and other infrastructure needs isn't easy under the best of circumstances. When you add in the escalating influence of smart technologies, it becomes even harder, so it's no surprise that 78 cities vied for funding in the federal government's transportation-focused "Smart City Challenge." For transportation planners, an increasingly important piece of the long-range-planning puzzle is the impact of ride-sharing and car-sharing services.
In 21st-century America, technology and innovation are inseparably linked. Revolutionary technical advances raise expectations and, often enough, result in products and services that meet or exceed those expectations. Think of how smartphones have changed our lives.

Good thing there is no inflation, you know, except in every single thing every single American needs to buy to survive that is! The hits just keep coming for California, America's very own Greece. Remember the article I posted a couple of days ago titled: Payday Loans in California: School Districts Owe $1 Billion on $100 Million Borrowed.
Now we find out from the LA Times:
Health insurer Blue Shield of California wants to raise rates as much as 20% for some individual policyholders, prompting calls for the nonprofit to use some of its record-high reserve of $3.9 billion to hold down premiums.
