Millions of senior drivers are on the road. Every day we add to that number as the baby boomers pile into that senior age bracket, along with their valid drivers licenses. Does this pose a potential hazard?
It could, if we aren't aware of a few changes that have occurred over time.
First, our cars that we drive. Smaller, more sleek, and quicker. And gadgets that tend to take our attention off the road ahead. Navigational systems, digital radios, steering wheel selections. Welcome to the 21st Century.
Add to this the ever present cellular phone, and who has time to pay attention to the car in front of you? There's the problem in hand.
Seniors need to take the time to familiarize themselves with their auto's features, before getting on the road. Read the manual in the glove compartment about the features you will be utilizing while driving. Do not attempt to 'figure out' what that press pad is for while driving.
And turn that cell phone off when driving. It could save your life, and those of others.
Secondly, our roads and highways. Too many cars on the road? Add more lanes. Our freeways now have diamond lanes that are meant to reward multiple passenger vehicles during rush hours. Our speed limits have pushed up to 65 mph. On ramps have traffic lights during peak hours. Flashing amber alerts along freeways warn you of traffic conditions ahead.
There are just too many more cars on the roads than when we were just teens waiting for the okay to take our drivers license test. Road rage is now a common malady that afflicts drivers of all ages.
Our highways and roadways are now a hazardous maze to navigate every time we slip behind the wheel.
Finally, for ourselves as seniors, we have changed. Physically, we have changed. Our reflexes may not be as quick, our eyesight not as sharp, and our decisions may not fit the situations on the road.
Individually, we must decide whether we are still safe to drive. Have your eyes checked every two years, be aware of what medications you are on and their side effects. 'May cause drowsiness' is a warning that cannot be ignored when driving an automobile. Do not drink and drive. Period.
Alternate means of transportation down the road becomes inevitable. For some, sooner than later. Or, relocating to more rural areas. You know, those towns with only one traffic light at the main intersection.
Those towns still are out there. We can walk into the sunset.

The Air Training Corps, The premier national youth organization in the UK, reached the grand old age of 60 on the 5th of February 2001. This was the anniversary of the signing of the Royal Warrant by King George VI, although the organization had existed as the Air Defence Cadet Corps from 1938.
To celebrate this Jubilee, Wing Commander George Campbell, the staff and cadets of Glasgow and West Scotland Wing had invited the Lord-Lieutenant of Renfrewshire, the remaining 5 Lords Lieutenants who cover the Wing area and the Provost of Paisley to a Service of Thanksgiving in Paisley Abbey at 2:30pm on the 2nd of September this year. Provost John McDowell and Renfrewshire Council honoured the Wing with a Civic Reception held in Paisley Town Hall after the parade.
The day started for both staff and cadets at 10am when they all assembled outside the Wing Headquarters on Hawkhead Road, Paisley. In the morning the final touches were made to the organisation and a dress rehearsal was carried out. After lunch the parade formed up with three squadrons each of three flights, each of 30 cadets. The Corps banner was marched onto the parade to the sound of a lone piper, then the parade set off at 1:40pm (13:40 hours) to march along Hawkhead then Glasgow Roads led by the Wing Commander George Campbell to the Abbey at Paisley for the service. This was the largest Air Cadet parade to march through Paisley since the end of the Second World War, and was also notable for the smart turn out of all involved.
The service was conducted by the Reverend Alan Birss of Paisley Abbey who is also the Wings' Assistant Chaplain, assisted by the Reverend Colin Brockie who took has just taken over the Chaplaincy of the Wing. This year saw Reverend Arthur M Lawless (who has served with or in the Corps from its very beginning, 60 years ago) is stepping down as Wing Chaplain. Unfortunately due to ill health he was unable to take an active part in the service, though he will remain as Squadron Chaplain with 62 Squadron, based at Crow Road, Glasgow.
After the service there was a formal march past in front of the Abbey at 3:45pm (15:45 hours). The march past was led by Wing Commander Campbell with the salute been taken by Provost J McDowell of Paisley, Brigadier D Hardie, Lord Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire and Group Captain R Kemp, Inspector Royal Auxiliary Air Force.
While there were over 300 cadets and staff taking part in the parade itself they were representing all of the 26 squadrons and 1100 personnel who make up the Wing that stretches from Girvan in the south to Oban in the north and east as far as Cumbernauld.
The Air Training Corps was formed in the dark days of WWII on 5th February 1941 by his majesty King George VI. From the 50 original squadrons, the Corps has grown to over 1000 squadrons and 50,000 staff and cadets spread all over Great Britain today. Glasgow and West Scotland Wing, which covers the Strathclyde area, was formed on 7th June 1948 by the merger of the Glasgow City and the West of Scotland Wings with a total of 19 squadrons. This was later expanded with the amalgamation of the Ayrshire Wing in the 1960s.
Though the Corps was originally formed with the aim of recruiting officers and men into the Royal Air Force, this has now changed. The Corps now is now encouraging good citizenship and responsibility amongst its members. Even so 40% of those joining the RAF come from within the ranks of the Cadets. The Air Cadets today are young men and women aged from 13 to 22 years old who can take part in a wide range of activities with the aid of adult staff, during Squadron meetings and at other times. All the time living up to the Corps motto of "Venture Adventure".

Verizon's first WP7 phone may be the HTC Trophy
Nov 15th
Computerworld – The HTC Trophy will be the first Windows Phone 7-based Verizon Wireless smartphone, according to several reports on the Web today.
A Verizon spokeswoman, who last week said the company plans to sell WP7-based smartphones next year, delined to confirm the reports about the HTC Trophy.
Verizon, a CDMA-based carrier, will get the HTC Trophy in 2011, according to a Verizon pamphlet that appeared today on Slashgear, Engadget and other tech Web sites today.
The Trophy has a 3.8-inch touchscreen , a 5 megapixel camera and Wi-Fi support. The device offers 512 MB of internal memory, 16GB of onboard storage. The includes an offer to Microsoft employees that it will sell them the device for $199.99 upon launch "in early 2011."
Apparently, word of Verizon's interest in WP7 has been slow to get out as there were several reports today about a Nov. 8 tweet from Verizon saying it is "excited" to sell WP7 phones as soon as they are ready from Microsoft.
There have been questions about Verizon's interest in WP7, especially since the carrier had little success selling the predecessor Microsoft Kin phones and discontinued them in June. Verizon later said it would resurrect thousands of retired Microsoft Kin phones as feature phones without wireless data capability later this year.
Verizon President Lowell McAdam had raised questions about support for WP7 when he said in an interview in early October that "Microsoft is not at the forefront of our mind" after agreeing with a reporter that Microsoft was not a major player in mobile "at the moment."
AT&T and T-Mobile, both GSM carriers, began selling WP7 phones on Nov. 8. It isn't clear how successful the sales effort has been as Microsoft has declared the supply as "tight."

Spice Mobile launches India's first 3D phone
Oct 24th
New Delhi: Handset maker Spice Mobility on Sunday said it has launched the country's first 3D display mobile phone, View D, priced at Rs 4,299.
View D will allow users to experience images and videos in 3D without the 3D glasses, making it very convenient for a common user.
"With growing popularity of 3D content and devices, this is one segment we wanted to tap. We have created this new device for people looking for smart mobile phones," Spice Mobility Vice President (Marketing) Naveen Paul told a news agency.
The company is looking at selling 20,000-30,000 units per month of View D, he added.
In the competitive Indian market, handset makers are looking at innovations to drive sales.
"One has to keep innovating to offer the market compelling products, but at reasonable price points as India is a price-conscious market," Paul said.
According to IDC, 38.63 million handsets were sold in India during April-June 2010.
Asked about the lack of 3D content in India, Paul said, "In India, 3D is catching up and soon there would be more devices which support 3D and with that content would also come in."
The handset is equipped with a 2.4-inch 3D display screen, two megapixel camera, FM Radio, MP3 player and expandable memory up to 16GB.
View D's screen is designed in a way that allows the user to toggle between a normal 2D or 3D user interface. It also has a 'remote wipe' feature, which allows users to delete the data stored on their phones remotely, in case of loss of handset.
Targetted at the metros and Tier I cities, the company will also launch a new television commercial along with other promotional activities for the product.
The handset would be available through more than 50,000 retail points, including 750 Spice HotSpot retail stores.
HTC Surround Windows Phone 7: First Look
Oct 13th
The HTC Surround is one of the phones in the Windows Phone 7 lineup of mobile devices. Available on AT&T's network, the phones USP lies in its slide out speaker which runs along the length of the phone. The mobile can be made to stand on a desk with the speaker slid out and be used for playing out movies and videos and the likes.
Featuring a 5 megapixel camera with a 3.8 inch screen and 16 GB of memory, the HTC Surround is a great device. Except for one thing which is inextricably linked to the phone's design and that is, that do people actually use their mobile device's loud speakers to listen to audio or watch videos or do any audio related activity?
The use for such a feature seems very little and might be sidelined for the most part except in private when one wants to watch a movie and even then one would prefer to watch it on their PC's or TVs with bigger speakers and bigger screens.
Like all Windows 7 Phones, the HTC Surround also comes with a free Zune pass for unlimited Zune music downloads. HTC hub is a great way to try out cloud computing and the home screen featuring widgets like the clock widget and the weather widget make for a good mobile experience. The device is expected to retaill at $200 approx. when it hits the shelves this November 8th.
LG unveils first Windows Phone 7 handset as Microsoft readies launch
Oct 11th
LG's Optimus 7 (aka the LG E900) has arrived, taking its place amongst a wave of new smartphones running on Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows Phone 7 (WP7).
The device is LG's first mobile phone to run on WP7 and is the result of close collaboration between the two companies.
The Optimus 7 is packed with the company's "exclusive" features says LG, features that include LG's "Play-To" DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)-based technology, augmented reality and Voice-to-Text translation.
Play-To makes it possible to instantly share and transfer multimedia files (including 720p HD videos, high-resolution photos and music files) between the Optimus 7 and DLNA compliant digital devices with just a flick of a finger.
"The Voice-to-Text feature will be a godsend for text addicts," said LG in an October 11 announcement, "allowing voice to text transcribing for Facebook and Twitter updates, emails or memos for a convenient hands free experience."
The QWERTY slider has a 3.8 inch capacitive LCD display with 800 x 400 pixels, a 5 MP camera with LED Flash and 720p video recording, 16GB of internal memory, an accelerometer, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor, and access to Microsoft's Xbox LIVE and Zune services.
Manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Asus and Dell are putting their final touches on WP7 devices. Meanwhile Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is getting ready to unveil further details about the WP7 launch at a press conference in New York on October 11.
Interested consumers can watch the Microsoft and Windows Phone 7 press conference live on Monday October 11 at 9:30 AM EDT (1:30 PM GMT) here: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/presskits/windowsphone/

MetroPCS launchs first 4G LTE market and phone
Sep 21st
MetroPCS launched the nation's first Long Term Evolution 4G wireless broadband networkTuesday in Las Vegas along with the first ever commercial LTE handset.
Like all MetroPCS services, the new 4G wireless broadband service is prepaid and it doesn't require a contract. For $55 a month, users get unlimited talk, text, and data. And for an additional $5 a month, they also get 18 channels of streaming video.
Samsung Craft, first 4G LTE handset
(Credit: MetroPCS)
The prepaid wireless operator is launching the new service with the first LTE handset: the Samsung Craft.
But before you get too excited, there are some important caveats. For now the service is only available in parts of Las Vegas. Eventually, MetroPCS will expand the service to its other markets. By 2011, the company expects to cover 19 markets with the LTE service, according to Tom Keys, MetroPCS chief operating officer.
MetroPCS does not support 3G technology for data on the rest of its network. Instead it offers a 2.5G data implementation. So the move to 4G was a way to leapfrog the 3G data technology and move right toward faster-speed wireless broadband. What this means for consumers who sign up for the service is that when you are not in 4G wireless territory, the network that you end up using is really a 2.5G network instead of a speedier 3G network.
This is different from other 4G wireless services from Sprint Nextel, which uses Clearwire's 4G network and its own 3G network when 4G is unavailable. And it will be an important distinction when Verizon Wireless and AT&T launch their 4G wireless services. Verizon plans to launch a 4G wireless network based on LTE later this year. AT&T has said it will launch its network by the middle of next year. Sprint and Clearwire are using a 4G technology known as WiMax, but the speeds of WiMax and LTE are comparable.
Another important distinction between the MetroPCS service and the other 4G services that have launched or will launch soon, is the device. MetroPCS is launching the service with the Samsung Craft, a souped-up feature phone that uses a proprietary Samsung operating system and home-grown Samsung chips.
The device, which costs $349 and comes with a $50 rebate, is no Android-based HTC Evo, which is the handset used on Sprint's 4G network. That said, the phone does come with a full Web browser, a QWERTY-keyboard, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a touch screen.
Keys said that the company is not trying to compete directly with the major carriers. Instead, the company is simply offering speedier wireless data service for its 7.6 million customers.
"We're not trying to offer something to compete with the iPhone," he said. "We did this for our customers, which wanted more wireless data. "
Keys said that 90 percent of the company's customer base uses wireless data services today and half of them use their mobile phones as their primary means to connect to the Internet.
The Samsung device that MetroPCS is using to launch the service was not designed for dozens of apps. And unlike the Sprint's HTC Evo it doesn't turn into a Wi-Fi hot spot. Instead, the Samsung Craft was designed as an entertainment device providing speedy connectivity to the Web and access to streaming video and music, Keys added.
It's clear that MetroPCS's LTE roll out will be small compared to what Verizon Wireless has planned. MetroPCS plans to be in 19 markets by the end of 2011, covering about 110 million people. By contrast, Verizon has said it will be in 25 to 30 markets by the end of this year. And it expects its service to be available to 100 million people this year alone. It will continue rolling out the 4G service over the next year.
So far there is no word on what kind of device Verizon will launch its LTE network with. Traditionally, wireless operators have launched faster networks with wireless data cards and dongles that allow laptops to connect to the faster networks. Chipsets designed for phones are typically available in high-volume a year after chips used in data cards are available.
But there is a chance that this timeline has been sped up to accommodate Verizon's launch. While some people believe that Verizon could launch its service with a 4G LTE handset, chip experts say that the chips will be early implementations, and devices may not be optimized for the 4G network. This means that the handsets will likely consume lots of power and may have other issues. In other words, these devices will work, but it may not be pretty.
So far, Sprint Nextel is the only wireless operator to introduce 4G wireless phones, which use WiMax instead of LTE. The HTC Evo was the first 4G phone to hit the market. Initially, this device also had power consumption issues. Iyad Tarazi, vice president of Network Development and Engineering for Sprint, admitted this was an issue early on. But he said the company has optimized how the device connects to the 4G network, which has alleviated the power concerns.
For now, MetroPCS is only offering the one Samsung device. It is not offering 4G data sticks for laptops or dongles. That said, Keys expects the company to add other 4G devices to its line up later, including tablets.

Rumor: Android Jelly Bean to be launched by Google in Q2. Is it Android 5.0?
We first heard about Android Jelly Bean back in September. This is supposed to be the name of Google's next major iteration of Android, after Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, introduced in October 2011.
While the big G hasn't confirmed anything regarding Jelly Bean, DigiTimes is now reporting that it might be launched in the second quarter of this year (hence in June the latest) as Android 5.0.
Since Google I/O 2012 will be held between June 27 and June 29, we could indeed see a refreshed version of Android released that month. But June is probably too early for Android 5.0 – it doesn't make sense for such a major update to come this soon, since Motorola, HTC, Samsung and all the others will still struggle to push Android 4.0 ICS updates to some of their devices at that time. So maybe Android Jelly Bean is just an improvement to 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich – Android 4.1, Android 4.2, who knows?
One of the interesting things in DigiTimes' article is this: unnamed Taiwan-based supply chain makers are reportedly saying that Google plans to "appeal for adopting Android 5.0 and Windows 8 in the same tablet PC." It remains to be seen how (or if) this will be possible, since Windows 8 "ARM-based tablet users won't be able to deactivate secure booting and (therefore) install another operating system" – according to Engadget.
A dual-boot Android / Windows 8 tablet would be of interest to customers who want both experiences, but don't have the money for two tablets. Anyway, let's consider this just a wild rumor for now.

Swine Flu Update: Liveblogging the CDC Press Conference
Thomas Frieden, the head of the CDC, is giving an update today on the H1N1 flu (aka swine flu). We'll be liveblogging the event, which should start any minute now.
12:19: The conference begins.
12:20: "H1N1 influenza is here. It is spreading in parts of the U.S., particularly the southeast." But so far, everything we've seen "shows that the virus has not changed to become more deadly." It will affect lots of people, but most of them will not be severely ill."
12:21: Nevertheless, the flu is unpredictable. "We have to be ready and prepared to change our approach depending on what the virus does."
12:22 Reports from South America show that the severity and the death rate have remained steady and have not increased.
12:23 He's discussing an MMWR study that's out today on death in 36 children from H1N1. In two-thirds of those cases children had underlying disabilities before they got sick.
12:24: Children who died who did not have underlying disability in some cases had a secondary bacterial infection. That's an important message — if you have the flu, and you start to get better, then you get worse again, you may be suffering from a secondary, bacterial infection.
12:25: He mentions that the Institute of Medicine released just released a report on protecting health care workers from influenza. The report says healthcare workers in close contact with H1N1 patients should wear a kind of mask called an N95 respirator.
12:27: Vaccine will be available by the middle of October. The vaccine will be free. Some providers may charge to give the vaccine. "My kids will get the vaccine when it becomes available," and he recommends that all schoolchildren should get it.
12:29 We are looking closely at adverse events. In an average flu season around a half a million pregnant women get vaccinated. Pregnant women are more likely to get severely ill from flu. There will be adverse event reports. But the important question is, are adverse events occurring more frequently in people who get vaccinated than in people who do not get vaccinated?
12:31: For most people with the flu there's no reason to see a doctor or go to the emergency department, unless you're severely ill (with symptoms such as severe difficulty breathing) or you have an underlying medical condition.
12:32: The drugs that we have available are "still very effective against the virus."
12:32: Don't go to work if you're sick.
12:33: Regarding the children who died and had bacterial infections in addition to flu infection: Bacterial pneumonia is a known complication of flu. This is what we see with seasonal flu. It's primarily of importance to doctors to know that if someone has had the flu and the come back with a high fever a little while later it could be a bacterial infection.
12:36: On the one hand, the overwhelming majority of people with H1N1 influenza are going to do fine — they don't need testing, they don't need treatment. On the other hand, those with severe illness or underlying conditions do need prompt treatment.
12:39: Just because people get vaccinated and have health problems after, it doesn't mean that the vaccine is causing the problem. The key question is, is the rate of health problems higher in people who get the vaccine than in people who do not get the vaccine. In general, flu vaccine has a very good long-term safety record, with "literally hundreds of millions of doses" having been given.
12:41: Will people need one or two doses of vaccine? Novartis just reported that in a small study, a vaccine plus adjuvant gave immunity in one dose. We expect in this country we will for the most part be using vaccine without adjuvant. At least for kids, it's very likely that two doses of vaccine will be required. CDC is still looking at the data on this question.
12:43: "We hope that schools will continue. Kids need to learn. Parents need to work." "If your kid is sick, please keep them home." When vaccine becomes available, schools will be an important location to give the vaccine in many parts of the country.
12:44: How does the report of 36 child deaths from H1N1 compare with the number of children who die from seasonal flu? Each year there are somewhere between 50 and 100 child deaths from flu.
12:47: Why is there more H1N1 in the southeast right now? Probably because schools started earlier. It may also be that some parts of the country that had less H1N1 in the spring may have more of it now.
12:49: Most of the bacterial infections in children who died of H1N1 flu were picked up in the community, rather than in the hospital.
12:50: The call is over.

Talk about an ideal house
At first when I thought of purchasing a house, I wanted one that was neither too far nor too near a town. If it was too far, I may feel lonely and then, there was the question of transport. Finally, I chose an elevated, land enabling easy drainage and firm. The site is spacious allowing ground for the house and a decent big garden. I wanted an elegant look for the house I intended to build.
The house has four rooms with a well-furnished kitchen and modern bathroom facilities. The living rooms are comfortable. The furniture has been chosen with great care. The walls have been painted with soft colors to match the curtains, the materials of which had been bought from the best textile manufacturing company. Each room is fitted with a radio so that one can enjoy programs from the bed. The drawing room is elegantly furnished with sofas, chairs and a central table. The walls are lined with built-in cupboards, a library to house well-chosen volumes by master novelists. There is a niche for the television and the room can be used for viewing programs. All the rooms are airy and air-conditioned.
The kitchen is beautifully done up. It is fitted with electric grills and things can be stacked neatly away in specially designed cabinets. It is provided with modern gadgets for grinding, pulverizing or cutting.
In front of the house there is an artificial pool with a fountain spray. One or two fish tanks are kept in the big porch to add the beauty of the place. There is a garage at the side of the house for my car, cattle and poultry. There I keep a few fowls of the high breed like the white leg horn, Black Monorca, and Rhode Island from which I get a supply of eggs and meat. I have two jersey cows in the shed which supply the milk for the family. In the backyard there are a few fruit bearing trees. On the margin of the house, there are some coconut trees. In front of the house there are certain bushes of croton and exotic plants. The well-kept lawn with luscious green grass is very pleasing to the eye. There is also a small playground for my children with a swing.
I have a couple of chandeliers in the drawing room showing rainbow colored lights whenever light falls on them. I could specially mention the marble Buddha I got from Sian and a bronze Nataraja from India. There are a few selected pictures by masters in gilded frames.
Thus I am surrounded by beauty and peace.

It's been a long regular season, an odd regular season for most Red Wings fans, but here we are on the opening day of the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Six weeks ago the Red Wings were out of the playoffs. Today they're the Western Conference's fifth seed, with a record better than six of the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference (and only a point back of the New Jersey Devils). That jump came courtesy of a 16-3-2 run after the Olympic Break, including a stretch of twelve games in which they earned at least a point.
The Wings come into the playoffs on a roll but in an unfamiliar position. They haven't started a postseason run on the road since 1991, when they were the Norris Division's third seed facing the second-seeded St. Louis Blues. They lost that series, 4-3.
Detroit hasn't been the lower-seeded team in any series since the 2000 Western Conference Semifinals, when the fourth-seeded Wings lost to the third-seeded Colorado Avalanche in five games.
Additionally, the Red Wings haven't headed into a playoff riding a rookie goalie since 1994, when Chris Osgood took over for Bob Essensa as Detroit fell to the San Jose Sharks, 4-3, in the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
While six weeks ago no one knew if the Red Wings would be in the playoffs today, a year ago no one knew if the Phoenix Coyotes would even exist right now.
The Coyotes are the NHL's Cinderella story, finishing fourth in the Western Conference despite a year of ownership by the league itself after the team declared bankruptcy last spring.
Wayne Gretzky was replaced as head coach by Dave Tippett, the favorite to win the Jack Adams Trophy as the league's best coach. Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov had a Vezina Trophy-worthy season.
The Red Wings were unbeaten in regulation against the Coyotes this season, going 2-0-2. However all four of those games came while Detroit was battling injuries and before Phoenix added veteran depth at the trade deadline.
Detroit has added forwards Justin Abdelkader and Brad May back to their roster but head coach Mike Babcock won't be making any lineup changes for tonight's Game One, choosing to ride a winning lineup.
Phoenix, meanwhile, is expected to start the series without former Red Wing Robert Lang, out with an upper-body injury.
Game time tonight is 10:00 on FSD and Versus.
Phoenix, meanwhile, is expected to start the series without former Red Wing Robert Lang, out with an upper-body injury.
That's good because it seems like he always manages to score against the Wings!
You would like to think that all of the money you shell out for Center Ice you would have the option between FSD and VS. As of now that does not seem to be the case... Go figure... For more than half the season I was unable to see the games on VS. and now I have no choice. I need to move to Michagan...
Okay, someone explain to me why it's okay to throw an elbow at someone after the whistle but not okay to break your stick across their nose when play is stopped? After the whistle sh*t p*sses me off.
Three weak calls, three goals. Does the PK suck or should they never have been called in the first place?
already said it, i'm sticking with it. yotes in 6. Remember who else the wings have to overcome besides the coyotes. GOT BETTMAN?
I agree that Williams probably should sit next game and abdelkader replaces him. I also agree that coyotes probably can't keep this pace up for 7 game series although you have to remember that this team is young and has played very tight knit hockey all year. To me this feels like '03, '04, '06 for the wings facing a much grittier up and coming team.

"This is a great recipe perfect for camping. We include onions, mushrooms, and even broccoli chopped fine. And, one weekend we only had american cheese slices, so we put that on top. Everyone gets to customize their own breakfast!"
"This recipe sounded so good, so I emailed it to my son as he was going camping this weekend. I thought I should give it a try this morning since I passed it along to him. This was delicious!! And I made no changes - tasted awesome as is!!"
"Absolutely brilliant idea! We camp on a regular basis in the summer, and I am always looking for clever ideas to liven up our meals! This one was AWESOME!"
"I suggest the small aluminum cupcake tins- a little more eco friendly- any reason not to?"
"I read an article about the bags not being good to boil these in,you need boil safe bags,something to do about the plastic leaching chemicals into the food..We have done this camping also and it was fun to do for the kids and adults alike.."

The worldwide popularity of Chevrolet Camaro's latest generation surely got some extra boost from having gome a regular feature in the Transformers movies, mainly because the main character got himself one and it can turn into the "Bumblebee" Autobot. In the wake of this successful sci-fi film, Switzerland's O.CT-Tuning has created a special package for the model specifically dedicated to the "Transformer Edition" Camaro, which was released by the American carmaker to celebrate the success of the saga on the silver screen.
The aesthetics of the car are absolutely loyal to the model starring in the movie directed by Michael Bay, but under its bonnet there's a spiced-up version of the already frighteneing standard 6.2-litre V8 unit: with the addition of a add a supercharger and a new stainless steel exhaust system, the good guys from O.CT managed to boost its output of 602 hp and 681 Nm (503 lb/ft) of torque up to 630 hp with 730 Nm (538 lb/ft) of peak torque.
However, if you don't own a Camaro Transfromer Edition, you don't need to worry as OC.T-Tuning can take care of that too, providing a movie-based paint-job inclusive of Autobot logos on center caps and front quarter panels. Add a set of 20″ black-painted alloys, some black stripes and a flashy high-wing spoiler and there you have it. Flying robot conversion not included.

green homes, Alchemy Architects, weeHouse, tiny house, tiny home, prefab, prefabricated, modular building, kit homes
Need a house? If you can provide the foundation, module seaming and utility hook-ups, weeHouse can do the rest. Created by Alchemy Architects, weeHouse is a prefabricated modular housing system that can be placed anywhere that is accessible by truck. Available in four standard models designed to suit most sites and lifestyle needs, weeHouse was inspired by sustainable design principles such as building small and efficiently.
The original 435-square-foot weeHouse Studio, with a sleeping area and a bathroom, retails for $79,000 to $89,000. Because of highway and road restrictions, the architects designed a 14-foot wide transportable module that can be snapped together with other modules—like Legos—to make larger homes. Since its inception, the standard weeHouse has evolved into a line of structures that are used as homes, offices and studios. WeeHouse Pair, for example, combines two of the modules for a three-bedroom, 1,450-square-foot home that retails for $185,000 to $209,000.
Most weeHouses are prefabricated in an independently owned factory and trucked to be "set" on site. Each standard weeHouse comes ready-made, with tongue-and-groove bamboo flooring, tile floors and showers, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, EPDM cold roof, primed gypsum board ceilings and walls, electrical and plumbing systems, appliances, fixtures and cabinets. Alchemy will subtract the price of appliances from your home if you prefer to buy local, and the company will customize your weeHouse with greener materials and systems such as active solar, geothermal, green roofs and other solutions as applicable.
WeeHouse meets International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) standards and is stronger than many site-built structures because the frame, doors and windows are secured to withstand being moved and the subfloor and sheetrock are glued and screwed to the frame. Fully insulated with R values of R19 in the walls, R35 in the floor and R44 in the ceiling, the homes have vented roofs that temper extreme heat or cold. Standard exterior siding is corrugated steel, available in many colors and finishes. "Container siding" made of highly durable cement fiberboard with vertical battens, or "corncrib siding," a horizontal rough-sawn pine rain screen finished with solid or semi-transparent stain, are also available.
"Ideally, we see consumers purchasing modules as customizable, off-the-shelf products," Scott Ervin of Alchemy Architects told The Wall Street Journal. "Most car and computer manufacturers offer a way to build or customize your own car or computer on their Web site. We are hoping to be able to make enough progress in the next few years toward handling the permitting and volume issues in various locales to allow modern dwellings to be ordered in much the same way as cars and computers."

People with type 2 diabetes may eventually find that they have lost mobility, either because a limb has been amputated or they otherwise need to use a wheelchair. While this change can make it hard to think about exercise and fitness, but successful diabetes management is still a priority — and still requires at least 30 minutes of activity five days a week.
Even if you have lost a limb, the other joints in your body still need to be active, so your goal is to manage diabetes and also keep the rest of your body in motion.
Joints get stiff if you don't move them, says Patrice Winter, a physical therapist at George Mason University and in private practice in Fairfax, Va. "Joints are like a well-oiled machine. They need to be active."
First Steps to Diabetes Exercise
Many people with diabetes who have impaired mobility will have to start with the basics before they can begin — or get back into — an exercise routine. This means focusing on range of motion and building up the strength of your heart and lungs so you can exercise. Winter says this is easier for people who begin their fitness training before surgery or loss of mobility.
Ideally, says Winter, you will be referred to a physical therapist or certified trainer who can help you plan a suitable fitness program and get you started with the first steps. You can also go online to find suitable programs; one is called SilverSneakers. Check with your health insurance to find out which types of rehab services and supplies are covered.
During rehab, you will also learn how to use your prosthesis or wheelchair. This may be a workout on its own! Once you have developed some strength, you will be able to move on to more strenuous exercise.

Square René-Viviani : Michelin's recommendations
Since 1928, this square has occupied the small area around the church of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre. The superb view from here takes in the church, hidden behind a curtain of trees, the street, with its roofs bunched together in disorderly fashion, and one of the best perspectives of Notre-Dame. The square has preserved a false acacia tree (1680), the oldest tree in Paris, along with its "brother" at the Jardin des Plantes.

You have probably heard the phrase "a red herring." Usually this phrase is used during police investigations or other questioning situations. We know a herring is a fish, but what is a red herring? And what does it have to do with investigations and questions?
A red herring is a figurative expression referring to a logical fallacy in which a clue or piece of information is intended to be misleading, or distracting from the actual question. The idiom "red herring" is used to refer to something that misleads or distracts from the relevant or important issue.
One may call something a red herring when it leads readers or hearers into a false conclusion. A red herring might be intentionally used as a strategy to make one's point believable while keeping the real truth hidden.
Perhaps the expression is based on the fact that a herring is a strong-smelling fish that has been smoked to a reddish brown color. Technically, there is no such fish as a "red herring." The fish refers to in the expression is a strong kipper, a fish that has been strongly cured in brine and heavily smoked. This process makes the fish particularly pungent smelling and, with strong enough brine, turns its flesh red. The fish is used to train hounds to follow a scent, or to divert them from the correct route when hunting. This helps to explain that a red herring is something said in an argument that is not relevant to the issue being discussed. However, it is used to distract the hearer to lead him or her to a different conclusion.
Have you ever used the expression "red herring"? Have you ever heard someone else use the expression? Perhaps you have been using the concept without knowing what's it's called.

I just picked up a 1939 ULH basket case . The motor has good condition matching number cases.
I will be lapping main brg. case races , To do this , do I cut out the lugs and replace the races with 40 and later races? Or, could I just set up on a mill and cut the lugs just below the race surface and then lap races? I searched the archives ,and I don`t quite understand .
Thanks in advance.

April 22, the 43 annual Earth Day, was the last day the Obama administration considered public input for the Keystone XL pipeline, and also the day some environmental groups warned President Obama that an approval of the project would result in massive civil disobedience. The fiercely debated pipeline would transport heavy crude oil from Alberta, Canada, south through the U.S heartland to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.
"The Keystone XL pipeline would be a disaster, from start to finish", Michael Marx, Sierra Club Beyond Oil Campaign Director said in an email Friday. "Tar sands oil is toxic for our climate, and mining the tar sands destroy pristine forests and threatens First Nation peoples. Once the crude oil is in the pipeline, the threat would run through our communities. We don't need to wonder what the impact would be, because we've seen it three times in the last few weeks in Arkansas, Texas, and Canada"
In 2008 TransCanada filed its first application with the U.S State Department to start building the project, a requirement for building any cross-border pipeline, and in 2012 a second application. The company also decided to go ahead with the southern part of the pipeline, the Gulf Coast Pipeline Project, as the southern portion does not require presidential approval.
Exxon Mobil Chairman and CEO Rex Tillerson addressing the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth at a luncheon Thursday, said the government ignores technology innovation and new risk management techniques within the energy sector, and now it is time to challenge old ways of thinking rooted in the notion that we must ration scarcity.
" The State Department found twice that the Keystone XL pipeline was safe, still it was delayed", Mr. Tillerson said, adding that the energy sector needs the support of public policies so the industry can continue building on the success and promote innovation for decades to come. "Sources of oil and natural gas once dismissed as uneconomic and inaccessible are now reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible contributors to our global energy portfolio. In Canada, for instance, we are deploying new technologies and techniques that are enabling the development of that nation's vast oil sands. This resource base now has the potential to provide approximately 170 billion recoverable barrels – enough energy to fuel today's North American personal vehicle fleet for almost 45 years."
So the same way computers have become smaller and more powerful, calculators cheaper, cell phones more intelligent, innovation can expand energy supplies. Since 2008, U.S natural gas production is up by 19 percent, and domestic oil production has risen by close to 30 percent.
"Thanks to these new technologies" Tillerson said. "The United States has not only reversed a more than 25-year decline in oil output, we are now the world's fastest growing hydrocarbon region. In Texas, the industry's multiplier effect has had a particularly strong influence on job creation. Recent economic studies find that new oil and natural gas production has created 576,000 jobs, with about one million direct and indirect jobs predicted by 2020".

Do I have to create a new grid for each ligand I attempt to dock?
No. Just create one grid, with a size that covers the region where you would expect ligand atoms to be located. No ligand atom can be outside the grid box in a docked pose, so making the grid too small (e.g., if you set the grid size according to a small 'picked' Workspace ligand) could prevent full exploration of the active site.
If you are concerned about the ligand making changes in the receptor conformation, you could consider using Induced Fit Docking on the most important poses from a Glide docking run.

The Qaseeda, or 'hymn of praise', has always been part of the Islamic tradition in Guyana, bringing together both old and young to offer praise to the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
The first historical record of Qaseedas was made over 1400 years ago, when the Holy Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Medina. When the Prophet arrived in Medina, the people came out in their numbers and greeted him with a song, which is the first recorded Qaseeda known. The song, "tal'a al Badru Alayna", is still very popular in all Muslim communities throughout the world, and is taught in all Muslim schools.
Raymond Chickrie, author on Muslim history in Guyana, who resides in America and holds a Masters in History, said that the Qaseeda came from the heart of Arabia to the "Islamic periphery." He also said that the Arabic language impacted heavily on the vocabulary, grammar and literary prose of other languages, such as Persian, Urdu, Turkish, Bosniak, Hausa and Swahili, among others. "Today, Qaseedas are written in Arabic, but also in other languages spoken by Muslims; and have become part of the Islamic cultural expression."
Chickrie noted that there are four types of Qaseeda, which are characterized according to their evolution. The pre-Islamic Qaseeda, rooted in the ancient Arab tribal code; the panegyric Qaseeda, which is expressing an ideal vision of a just Islamic government; the religious Qaseeda, exhorting different types of commendable religious conduct; and the modern Qaseeda, influenced by secular, nationalist, or humanist ideals.
"What Guyanese Muslims know about Qaseeda is what has been handed down from one generation to another. It's not a written tradition, but rather an oral one which, until recently, inevitably has lost its scholarly character."
The historian noted that the madrasahs do not teach Qaseeda in Guyana, but a few Islamic organizations in Guyana do hold Qaseeda competitions. The Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) recently held Qaseeda competitions in various parts of the country, and hopes to bring Islamic groups from Trinidad and Suriname to join in these. This they do annually in order to keep the Qaseeda tradition alive, as it is somewhat dying within the younger generation. The historian added that the Guyana United Sadr Islamic Anjuman, the country's oldest Islamic representative organization, was the first to organize Qaseeda competitions in Guyana. This was done for many decades until that organisation's dormancy.
In 1999, the Muslim Youth League (MYL), in conjunction with the CIOG, held a national Qaseeda competition. At that competition, it was questioned whether the Qaseeda was an "Indian" something and therefore had nothing to do with Islam. However, the visits of several Islamic scholars to the Caribbean, notably Maulana Fazlur Rahman Ansari, Maulana Abdul Aleem Siddique, and his son Maulana Ahmad Shah Noorani Siddique, provided an opportunity for Guyanese Muslims to seek clarification regarding the practices of tazeem (salaatus salaam), milad-un-nabi and Qaseeda. Those scholars endorsed these practices and refuted claims that these were "evil." They were able to convince the locals that, based on the Qur'an, Hadith and the fiqh, they were within the parameters of Islam; and if kept within the boundaries of Islam, these practices are good innovations.
The MYL, in recent times, said Chickrie, initiated the effort to receive the support of qualified ullema from India and Pakistan, where their foreparents came from. "This has made it possible for adamant pronouncements of the practices of tazeem and moulood as being totally correct and in line with Islam, and challenges the views of the opponents with equal proofs from Quran and Sunna."
Urdu is an emotional issue, especially since the majority of Guyanese Muslims are of Indo-Pakistani origin, noted Chickrie. Urdu has resurfaced in the last decade, and effort is underway to resuscitate the language.
Qaseeda competitions
This year, the eleventh International Qaseeda Competition was hosted by the Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana (CIOG) and the Anjuman Hifazatul Islam (HIFAZ) at the National Cultural Centre on April 24. It is hosted annually on rotation between Guyana, Trinidad and Suriname.
Aleema Nasir, Head of NACOSA, said that the female segment of the competition was held at the Ocean View Hotel Convention Hall at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara, with Suriname emerging as the overall winner for that competition.
At the competitions, it was brought out that the CIOG does not have any record of the Qaseedas sung by the first Muslims who came to Guyana from West Africa, but the organization expressed hope that contact would be made with African brothers and sisters to revive this part of their Islamic heritage.
Nasir noted that, over the years, there has been a decline in the Urdu language. "One of the objectives of the Qaseeda competition is to revive the Urdu language and to promote the singing of Qaseedas, especially among the younger generation."

Juicing is on the rise! An all too familiar scene is Los Angelenos hitting up the juice bar post workout in their yoga gear and big sunglasses. But the truth is juicing doesn't have to be a fad. It's most likely going to enhance your quality of life unlike the other fad diets and trends out there.
Everyday I get myself a juice either pre workout to energize or post workout to revitalize my body with nutrients that I may have depleted during my workout. I usually get a cold pressed juice but if I'm at my gym, Equinox, I take advantage of the convenience of the delicious juices at EarthBar located in all Equinox gyms. I order the vegetables blended and juiced in their blender.
Of course, nothing is more convenient than juicing in the comfort of your home, but let's face it, it can get pretty messy. I also find that when I buy the organic vegetables necessary to get the maximum benefit from juicing, it gets pricey too. Throw in the cost of the blender and it will have you thinking twice about do it yourself juicing. To save all of that hassle, I just hop over to my local organic juice bar by my home and let them do all of the work. It taste just as good!
Be creative with fruits and vegetables and get yourself the boost you need sans the caffeine. Here are the benefits of fruits and vegetables that, when combined, make healthy and delicious juices
Kale is a rare vegetable in the sense that you can obtain calcium from kale –that key mineral also found in milk! It is also promoted for its Vitamin C and Vitamin A content. Kale is known for its Lutein content, and is one of the best sources of beta-carotene—a pro-vitamin A source.
Romaine is a highly nutritious salad green and is known for its vitamins A, B, and C content, as well as manganese and chromium content.
Spinach:The benefits of spinach, a leafy green, include sources of vitamin K, magnesium, and iron. This popular vegetable includes several important phytochemicals, including Lutein.
Cucumber and its significant water content aids in kidney, liver, and pancreatic function.
Parsley is known for its pro-vitamin A beta carotene content as well as its green chlorophyll content.
Watercress is one of the most nutrient-dense foods you can put in your body. Known for its calcium, iron, and potassium content, watercress ranks high among nutrition professionals.
Beets are cell-builders. They renew the body with a hint of sweetness and key minerals. Combined with carrots, consuming beets aid in kidney and liver function.
An excellent source of antioxidants from beta-carotene, carrots play an outstanding role in optimal health in the body and provide immune support.
Apples offer antioxidant vitamin C and soluble fiber. They are also a great way to lightly sweeten an otherwise tart juice.
An incredible fruit. Lemons are a natural acidifier. They have an incredible effect on the stomach, and as they stimulate the digestive system you will feel the change. We recommend adding lemon to everything!
This super root, with its refreshing flavor, contains many benefits including aiding in digestion by soothing the stomach and also aids in circulation.
Used in our Citrus 2 and Citrus 4, we love pineapple because it is not only delicious, but a source of manganese, and bromelain, an enzyme that helps break down proteins.
Pears are a collection of beneficial vitamins and minerals, including A, B1, B2, C, E, folic acid and niacin. It is known for its copper and potassium levels as well as its pectin content, which increases bulk and supports digestion efforts.
Grapefruit is a vitamin C powerhouse with a sprinkling of soluble fiber; it is no wonder grapefruits are a staple in so many healthy diets.
The coconut meat comes from the hearty white pulp of the coconut and presents our drinks with more flavors and fats to give you a richer, more palatable experience.
Young Coconut Water:
Coconut Water is often thought of as the natural alternative to sports rehydration drinks. It has an incredibly soothing taste, while it simultaneously provides natural energy to the body. Coconut water is an original source of water with a hint of naturally occurring minerals and carbohydrates.
These contain the antioxidant Vitamin C with its colorful coat of deep colors.
Strawberries contain phytonutrients and antioxidants such as vitamin C, which have repeatedly been shown to help protect cell structures in the body and fight oxidative reactions.
almond sugar content.
Like all citrus fruits, lime contains vitamin C, supporting a healthy immune system and fighting free radicals. Limes contain unique flavonoids.
Cinnamon is great at awakening your senses. It has the distinct role of complimenting our drink flavors for refreshing your palette. Also known to stabilize blood sugar levels.
Cacao is the raw form of chocolate for diminishing your appetite and enhancing your mood.
My favorites are:
Post workout
And kale

'Cool Things to Find' Celebrates Curiosity Rover on Mars
OK. You've seen the "Dumb Ways to Die" video.
Well, the folks at Cinesaurus.com in Seattle liked it so much, they did a parody to help publicize NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars.
In a VERY short time, they put together "Cool Things to Find," showing what the Mars rover might find on Mars. The items – lost sock, a Twinkie, Nixon's tapes, a Dalek from Dr Who and more. And the music is a great match for the "Dumb Ways" video.
The folks who put this together have other great projects and really support NASA. We like that.

While most of us are too busy to think about aging, some of our reflexes are not! As you pass 40 or 50, have you found physical changes that go beyond the gray hair and wrinkles? I am talking about driving a car, or even distance bicycle riding. These things that were once almost second nature do tend to get harder and our reactions to them not quite as fast as they should be.
Driving is the hardest one to give up and the loss of independence it brings can seem disastrous. What should we do when we know we should give up driving due to slower response time or failing vision? Many of us have been in this situation when dealing with aging parents and other family members. How do we know when our parents, or indeed when we ourselves, need to hand over the keys?
My in-laws lived in a retirement community for many years. They cautioned me to be very careful when driving or walking to and from the supermarket in the nearby mall. "The drivers there are an accident waiting to happen," my mother-in-law warned. Many of her neighbors had already been in accidents yet they continued to drive.
No state has an age limit on driving. A driver who is elderly may be tested and restricted from highways or at night, but if he or she passes the eye and driving tests, the license will be renewed. Many states allow renewal by computer so drivers can keep a current license for years, and only Washington DC requires a reaction test for people over 70.
It may be difficult for adult children to deliver the stop driving message to parents, especially if you have been brought up not to question their decisions. But don't necessarily expect your doctor to do this for you. He or she has no more power in this area than you do, except for the 'authority' they can use in their suggestions.
Of course, driving is important for many elders; it is their means of transportation and mobility, and may be the only way to get to a store or continue their social interactions. We are all reluctant to give up the opportunity to be in charge of our own travel. And since the changes that come with aging are so variable, it is important to identify those who have diminished capabilities and not assume the entire older population is impaired.
What are signs to look for if we think family members should stop driving? There are many age-related physiological changes that occur. First, visual changes include a decrease in field of vision, adapting to light and dark, reduced depth perception and overall vision. Some of these changes are the result of glaucoma, cataracts or diabetes or stroke. Often older people have trouble turning their head to look behind them when parking or pulling out of a space. Also, many older people are taking medications that may interfere with attention or problem solving skills so necessary for safe driving.
Many cities have established transportation services for the elderly, but suburban and rural areas have fewer options or accessible transit systems. Thus seniors in those communities may be harder to convince, even if they know you are right.
This message is for all of us who are aging, but I have tried to soften the message by suggesting you think about our parents or other elders first!!! So do ask yourself the same questions: Am I still a safe driver? Should I consider asking someone else to drive when I go out at night? Driving while aging is a serious proposition. Until those driver-less cars become a reality, please think about your reactions before you get into the car.

Welcome to the famous "About Me" section It's now time to stimulate your minds about little ol' me. I guess you can consider the most important thing about me, is that I'm a Master, and I do have one slave that's decided that she'll be with me forever, even if we aren't dating. My biggest hobby is trying new things, followed by taking showers....I don't take 200 showers a day, but when i do step in I go in my own world. I sing sometimes to favorite bands and the shower curtain, some say im good, others say otherwise, lol. I do have a cell, hate texting and would rather talk, but usually text cuz i know i talk too much Can anyone here just stimulate my mind? Hold a conversation? Hold their own in video games?...How about stay faithful? Well its been 2 years since then, also just moved back from Jacksonville Florida, so I've been looking for a change. I unfortunately don't have a car, however i do have a job. My goals jump around randomly, but my #1 is to be a good father, in due time. I'd love to hear yours

Note: If you are cool, you can understand this.. Your percentage of reading my profile, is pumpkin, and can only ever be pumpkin.
I've always been into anime, as one would assume due to my addiction to cartoons, so here's the best recommendation for an anime ever: Usagi Drop. Do you want to see the best anime known to man, one without any fiction in it whatsoever? Do you think you could watch an anime without vampires, giant robots, or anything that has to do with superpowers or space? If you think you can, I dare you to watch Usagi Drop. You will love me for it :3
