The fly fishing in Vermont is one of those under-published gems for which New England is known. Vermont is abundant with mountain streams, saddle ponds, and "off-the-beaten-path" stretches of river that you can't find on any map or see from any roads. These are the spots, that few Vermonters even know about, where fly fishing in Vermont is at its best.
With a little effort, you could be casting to fish that haven't seen a line all season. Within a short distance from the Inn are several streams and rivers that can be rewarding for those of any ability. Vermont keeps many of them stocked, and there is always the opportunity for trophy trout. Dan is a passionate "catch and release" fly fisherman. He takes any opportunity to wade in the streams and scare up a fish. He can give tips and point you in the right direction. He also highly recommends the guides of Stream and Brook. They can ensure a successful day of fishing and provide you with whatever equipment you need.
Stream and Brook takes great pride in the services they offer and the time they spend with guests on land and water. Regardless of your experience, first-time caster to seasoned veteran, they guarantee you an insightful and unique experience here in the Green Mountains of Vermont.

The Tavcor Difference
Family Managed Volkswagen, Audi and Suzuki Dealership Group in Port Elizabeth and George.
The business started in 1950 as one of the first VW Dealerships in South Africa and has focussed its attention on a narrowly defined area – the Eastern & South Western Cape.
Over the years our organisation has been known for its pioneering approaches to how we do our business and this coupled to unbeatable value to our customers. But it's in our people that we have the ultimate value to company and customers. Staff tends to stay with us and the compounding impact of years of experience translates into better experiences for all our customers.
- Leading World Class Products
- Real operating advantages
- Real resale pay backs
- Managed by Values
- No ordinary Dealership
- Highly systemised
- Real competencies and better solutions
- People Empowered to Act
- Fast and pleasure to deal with
- Supportive
- Own Car Rental division
- Massive Service capacity and parts back up
Research indicates that customers prefer dealing with Tavcor people because of our core competencies and our value approach to business transactions. Tavcor is recognised as the leading Auto Business in the entire province as evidenced by the Annual PMR awards over the last 5 years.
Volkswagen Group South Africa has awarded Tavcor Dealerships no fewer than 5 Dealer of the Year awards and too many "Excellence" awards to mention.
Used Car Operations
The principal difference is that we make our own trade-in prices within 15 minutes. You will get an offer faster than anywhere else because we don't allow the Used Car Trade to set our price platform. We price to do business.
But this is just the first leg of the Used Car Value chain. We choose and buy only the "choice cars" for resale and everything else goes to our trade centre for auction.
Reconditioning is done by a separate dedicated team and is governed by the maxim of presenting each Used Car for sale in a better condition than its age would suggest.
Customer support is immediate and should any problem arise, the same team that reconditioned the car will repair it. No queues and no fuss.
This presents an extremely powerful reason to purchase any Used Vehicle from a Tavcor Group Dealership.
Service Operations
By the end of 2012 Tavcor Group will have 70 active work bays, fully equipped and backed up by specialist tyre and wheel alignment centres. 70 Technical staff – 3 full time support and assist vehicles on the road and a dedication to customer support.
GREAT CARS, GREAT PEOPLE positioning statement came into being in 2003 and remains the stance of the organisation and is a daily reminder for all Tavcor people to live up to our best expectations.
Social Responsibility and Alignment
A group rating of B.B.B.E.E. 6 has been attained through careful application of key black empowerment and development decisions. Siyoyisa Pty Ltd is a start-up company that handles car wash and valet services for the Group. Within a year this organisation will employ close to 50 people with a key role in serving the Tavcor Motor Group.
iKhaya Cheshire and Miracle Kids are our chosen Social responsibility beneficiaries but it's so much more than an obligation. Tavcor staff contributes to school class room building and monthly markets are held to fill the coffers of our special needs fund.
Training and development is a cornerstone activity led by Group Human Resource Manager that oversees a full apprentice technician program as well as a Sales Kadet program and a 1st time job creation plan for disabled people. The company has its own bespoke sales process plan and training system.
The Tavcor vision has remained in place for 10 years – offering value and quality in everything we do from competent and enthusiastic people.

Keeping your Flowers Fresh
To have your flowers last as long as possible follow these simple tips.
If your flowers have been out of water, recut the stems an inch or two.
Cut the stems with a clean knife or sharp scissors or clippers on an angle.
Use a super clean vase!
Use flower food if available and follow the packet directions.
Use purified water if available, such as reverse osmosis. Do not use water from a salt based water softening system. Salt will reduce the life of the flowers. If your water has fluoride in it certain flowers will be adversely affected especially lilies.
Keep your flowers away from heat, sunlight, vegetables and fumes- gas or cigarettes.
Do not let the flowers run out of water. They are very thirsty and will drink a lot!
If they do run out of water, recut stems and add fresh water.
If you don't have flower food you can try a little sugar, lemon juice and bleach. The sugar feeds the flowers, the lemon juice lowers the ph, and the (few drops only) of bleach will kill the bacteria.
If you don't want to do all that, fresh water is better than yuckey water any day!

On Saturday afternoon in Track Town, USA, Oregon senior Mandy White had a career day in front of 7,200 fans at Hayward Field.
White was one of four runners in the 4x100 meter relay that won in 43.82, which is officially the second fastest relay team in school history. The Ducks beat Florida State's 27-year old meet record of 44.73, and their time is the 8th fastest in the nation this season.
Shortly thereafter, White competed in the 100 meters where she won with a meet-record time of 11.60. This was a seasonal best for her, and broke the 1994 time of 11.62 set by Joyce Rainwater of Eastern Washington University.
With the Pac-10 Conference Championships right around the corner, look for White to be a major contributor for the Ducks.

This is not a photo album of the familiar sights of Paris.It is simply a photographic sketchpad of the sights of Paris,usual and unusual,which have appealled to me personally.
It should perhaps have been titled - Paris -my point of view.
Apart those in the Vintage section all the photos were taken on a compact digital camera-either a Canon G7 or G9 or a Leica X1.
A compact camera may limit your photographic technique but it also liberates you - it is inconspicuous and you can always have it with you.

North West just had her 1st birthday and the party was a big one. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West didn't go for a small intimate gathering with this party, but it is not like she will ever remember it. Lucky for North West you can easily assume cameras caught it all for her. On Sunday, NY Daily News shared about this big birthday bash.
They called the party "Kidchella" after the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. It was a huge party that took over the backyard at Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian's house. Kim and Kanye are still not done with their home so North is lucky her aunt and uncle let her use their backyard.
They had a huge bouncy house, Ferris wheel and even a performance by Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. This was some type of musical performance. They also had a tepee at the party and Khloe Kardashian was seen wearing an Indian headdress. It is unknown of her new boyfriend French Montana was at the party. It sounds like a great time but not really a party for a 1-year-old little girl. The party happened on Saturday.
Some celebrities love to go all out for birthday parties like this and it is not shocking that Kim does it. Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are known for having huge blow out parties for their kids. Fans of Kim knew this would be a huge party.
Kim went to Twitter on Sunday to share how she enjoyed her day with her little girl North West. This fun day at home sounded like a day more fit for a little girl. Kim said that they went swimming and that North West didn't want to get out of the pool at all. After that they played on the trampoline and then enjoyed a new episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." All of that quality time with mom had to be great for the little girl.

Bonsecours Market : Michelin's recommendations
Originally constructed to house Montreal's first interior market, this building (1847) occupies the former site of the Intendant's Palace, destroyed in 1796. With its 163m/535ft freestone façade and lofty dome, the elegantly ornamented structure is best viewed from the riverside. The ground-floor merchant stalls were accessible from the outside through large bays. After fire destroyed the Parliament Buildings in 1849, the market became the seat of the Legislature of the United Canadas. From 1852 to 1878, it served as the City Hall, and today is leased for a variety of charming shops, craft boutiques, temporary exhibitions, and other purposes.

Today is a discussion on criteria B for an autism diagnosis. On Saturday the diagnosis was introduced. Yesterday, criteria A was dealt with in depth. Today is criteria B which is a delay or impairment prior to age 3 in social interaction, language used to communicate, and symbolic or imaginative play with one of these needing to be met to qualify for a diagnosis.
It is on criteria B that the discussion for the differences and similarities come into play. In last Thursday's article there was a discussion that in the DSM IV autism and Asperger's were listed separately. With the new DSM V coming out they are now grouped under autism spectrum disorders, also known as pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), which includes child disintegrative disorder and Rhett's syndrome. The difference lies in communication. While an autistic child suddenly goes quiet and loses all communication, an Asperger's child is usually using highly developed speech and precocious in their communication skills.
Other signs that your child needs to be medically examined is the lack of social interaction. Even as a young child they will not play games like most children do, focus intently, or are unresponsive to any attempts made to interact with them.
Finally, imaginative play. It is usual for children to use their imagination in play. It is unusual for them to use their imagination and build elaborate worlds from which they play and interact. To interact with your child you are finding you have to go into their elaborate world to play with them and that they will not come out and play with you. Not only that, they generally will became anxious or balk at having to come out and deal with reality. This play can involve all types of what are called stimming behaviors to include continuous sound effects. Some stimming behaviors include arm flapping, rocking, and pacing.
One of the ideal ways to handle their made up world and blend it with reality is find a realistic element within what they have made and introduce it as an alternative activity. For example, if your child is unusually absorbed in vacuums and all things that pertain to them, find old vacuums and give him a place to take it apart and put it back together. Buy books on vacuums, find activities that are practical and fun for your child. You never know but his obsession could become his career. The beauty of their obsessions is their attention for detail. They are finding that these children have a special niche to fill in the world.

Windsor Vineyards grew quickly with its high quality wines, value prices and personalized labels. Strong moved Windsor to Healdsburg in 1961 to be closer to his vineyard properties. He later established another winery, Rodney Strong Vineyards, in the same location.
After a series of different owners including Beringer Blass, Windsor was recently purchased in 2007 by Vintner Patrick Roney who also owns ultra-premium Girard Winery in Napa. Mr. Roney plans to continue Windsor's long consumer-friendly tradition with direct sales to consumers and personalized wine label opportunities, as well as to launch a new era for Windsor by developing his newly-aquired 40-acre estate vineyard property located in the Russian River Valley in Healdsburg, and by introducing a new line of ultra-premium wines to complement Windsor's classic offerings.

About North Coast
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Atrazine is a chemical of choice in Oregon, for both agriculture and the timber industry. It was also sprayed via helicopter on 70 acres near Lake Selmac on Saturday April 9, 2011.
Banned or specifically not allowed to be used in the European Union since 2003, including Switzerland, the home of the manufacturer.
Toxicological Profile for Atrazine -http://www.beyondpesticides.org/gateway/pesticide/atrazine.htm Health Effects
- EPA Acute Toxicity Class: III (slightly toxic)
- Cancer: Possible (11)
- Endocrine Disruption: Known (5), Yes (36)
- Reproductive Effects: Yes (7)
- Neurotoxicity: Yes (4)
- Kidney/ Liver Damage:Yes (4)
- Sensitizer/ Irritant: Yes (4)
- Birth/ Developmental Defects: Yes (7)
Chemical Formulation & Use Profile
Atrazine (6-chloro-N-ethyl-N'-isopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) is a triazine selective control herbicide, used as a pre- and post-emergent on broadleaf and grassy weeds in fruit and vegetable crops and in lumber reforestation plantings. It effectively prevents photosynthesis in plants, thereby stopping growth and eventually causing death. It is one of the two most widely used pesticides in the United States. Commercially, atrazine is available in liquid, granular and powder formulations. It is similar in structure and mode of action to other triazines such as hexazinone and simazine.
Human Health Risk Summary
Atrazine is a known serious endocrine disruptor.
Acute Effects: If ingested, atrazine is likely to cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. If inhaled via airborne particulates, respiratory tract injury and increased risk of asthma may occur. Atrazine is also toxic through dermal absorption and may cause skin reactions, such as rashes and allergic eczema. The EPA has identified congestion of the heart, lungs and kidneys; low blood pressure; muscle spasms; weight loss; and damage to adrenal glands as acute exposure toxicity endpoints. Following acute, high oral dosing, test animals exhibited loss of muscle function, convulsions and behavioral disturbances.
Chronic Effects: Carcinogenicity: Animal studies have linked atrazine to mammary tumors, leukemia and lymphoma. , In farming community epidemiological studies, atrazine exposure has correlated with higher incidences of ovarian, breast, testicular, stomach, brain and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma forms of cancer.
Reproductive & Developmental Toxicity: Both animal and human studies have indicated that atrazine is likely to be both a reproductive and developmental toxicant. Animal studies have shown that atrazine can cause premature birth; reduced birth weight; delayed bone development and sexual maturation; and growth retardation. Epidemiological studies in humans have shown that exposure to atrazine from drinking water contamination is associated with premature birth; low birth weight; physical birth defects; and reduced semen quality.
Organ Toxicity: Atrazine has been shown to cause liver, kidney and heart damage in animals, and is therefore likely to cause the same in humans.
Mutagenicity: Several animal studies have linked atrazine to genetic damage, including, chromosome breaks and rearrangement; and, disrupted DNA repair and synthesis.
Immunotoxicity: Several studies in both animals and humans have indicated a direct association between exposure to atrazine and adverse effects on the immune system, including suppression of antibodies and autoimmune reactions.
Ecological Hazard Summary
Environmental Fate: A major concern about atrazine is that it is highly persistent and mobile in soil environments, and extremely persistent in aquatic systems. Depending on soil conditions, atrazine can persist from several days to over a year. In water systems, it can persist for weeks to years depending on conditions such as temperature, pH, movement, etc. Atrazine does not bind to soil particles well, and is therefore likely to migrate into aquatic systems. Because of its widespread use, long persistence, and high mobility, atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticides in surface and ground water, and is often found in drinking water systems as well.
Risk to Non-Target Flora & Fauna: Atrazine can travel away from its use site via airborne dust particles, over-spray, and translocation by soil and/or water movement, and can consequently impact plants and animals in the natural environment. At very low concentrations atrazine can disrupt entire ecosystems by inhibiting photosynthesis and killing plants that offer protection and nutrients to animals. Aside from general ecosystem disturbance, atrazine can be toxic to most aquatic and amphibious animals. Because atrazine is a potent disruptor of hormones, exposure has shown to have reproductive and developmental toxicity to numerous animal species, including fish, frogs, salamanders, and alligators. Some of these toxicity endpoints include: reduced reproductive success, altered gender ratios, birth defects and behavioral disruptions.
Atrazine and its associated compounds are of particular concern to human health and the environment, due to: 1) evidence of carcinogenicity, reproductive/developmental effects, organ toxicity, immune system effects, and genotoxicity to humans; 2) likely adverse effects to non-target plants and animals, specifically reproductive and developmental toxicity to aquatic and amphibious species; and 3) the extensive contamination of surface, ground and drinking water systems.

As holiday cooking, eating and gifting is officially upon us it might be a good idea to put some of my most used recipes on the blog. Even though Thai / asian cooking is my thing, I find myself baking and eating cakes, quick breads, and cookies more often than one person should. Even as the aromas of fresh baked banana bread are still wafting through the apartment I have huge cravings for pandan muffins which I might just have to whip up because they really don't take much time all — but back to this recipe, banana bread, yes banana bread is one of my loyal friends, it's a snack, a breakfast, a gift; a way to feel good about using some very sad, neglected looking bananas and giving them a new lease on life. I love having bananas in the kitchen but those bananas may not get eaten in their prime and they do have a very obvious way of letting me know me just how long they've been sitting there, as their skin starts to blacken, instead of feeling I missed the golden window of banana snacking prime, I know that those natural starches are continuing to change into a sweeter more delicious sugar that will be perfect in the bread. The longer the banana sits there, the more intense the banana flavor will be in the final baked loaf. Save the bananas, make a beautiful breakfast loaf.
Banana Bread Recipe
- 1 ½ cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup overly ripe mashed bananas
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 115g ( ½ cup) softened butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup yogurt
Sift flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together (set aside)
Mash bananas together with yogurt (set aside)
Cream butter and sugar using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer for 4 minutes on medium (or by hand until light and creamy)
Beat eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar
Add vanilla
Gently mix in dry ingredients
Fold in the yogurt banana mixture
Pour into butter and floured loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 370˚F (185˚ C) for an hour and 10 minutes. If the top looks like it's getting too brown cover with foil and carry on.
Note: If you like nuts you can add ½ cup pecans or walnuts to this at the same time you add the banana mix

Shootings in Kansas City at two Jewish sites have left at least three people dead. On April 13, Boston.com reported that a suspect has been taken into custody. According to police, one person was shot and killed at the Jewish Community Center on 5800 W. 115th Street. Two more people were shot and killed at an assisted living facility called Village Shalom.
According to the report, there were about 75 people inside the community center at the time of the shooting. It's unclear how many people were injured. The names of the deceased have not been revealed and it is unknown if the three victims were adults or children.
The shootings at Kansas City Jewish sites appear to be driven by someone anti-Semitic. Police say that the unidentified suspect yelled "Heil Hitler" just before police cuffed him. Local station KCTV posted video of the suspect's arrest. The suspect looks to be a middle-aged man, perhaps in his 60's.The arrest was made about a mile away from Village Shalom at Valley View Park Elementary School. It appears as though the suspect acted alone.
Details on the gun used or how the suspect got the gun are unknown at this time. Police have been releasing details slowly but once they piece things together, they will likely make or release a statement.
More on the shootings at Kansas City Jewish centers in the video above.

Please help me solve this. I have been thinking of all sorts of ways to solve this but can't figure out how :(. OK here's the problem: I am given a three dimensional velocity vector (I know the magnitude of this vector and I know what angle this vector makes w.r.t. one of the axis, say the x-axis.) What I want to determine is what angle does this three-dimensional vector make with X-Y, Y-Z and X-Z plane. Another way to look at this is if we project this three-dimensional vector in the X-Y plane what is the angle between this vector and the x- axis (or the y- axis)? I do not know the velocity components of this vector in the x, y or z-axis. As a matter of fact, these x, y and z-velocity components are what I aim to calculate from determining the angle the 3-D vector makes with each plane.

You need three scalar quantities to specify a vector in a three-dimensional space. If you know only the magnitude of the vector and the angle it forms with one axis, those two scalar quantities are not enough to fully determine the vector -- it could be any vector with the given magnitude on a cone around that axis. You need one more quantity to fix the vector; then you can calculate the angles and components you're looking for.
P.S.: Note that the title and body of the question are inconsistent. Specifying a direction in three-dimensional space requires two scalar quantities; since you only have one angle, you don't know the direction of the vector.

Devin Roane soars at iFLY.
Master of the Dive Devin Roane Devin
Roane has logged more time in free fall this year than most skydivers will in their lifetimes. he's been skydiving for 10 years and got started when a relaxing weekend turned into a flying habit he's never been able to shake. "I was hanging out at my friend's cabin and since he was going out to do a jump, I went along," Roane recalls. "After that first time, I just loved it."
Since then he's set world records in skydiving and is a founding member of Rockwell Airtime, the 2010 USPA Skydiving National Champions. Roane admits that the adrenaline rush is part of what draws him to the sport, but says the whole experience is rewarding. "You jump out of a plane, and there's this amazing rush, but then you pull your parachute and you're under the canopy for 3,000 feet," he says. "It's just super peaceful [when you're] looking out over the Great Salt Lake."
When he's not tumbling out of a plane or perfecting his technique in the tunnel, Roane teaches others how to follow in his footsteps at iFLY, where he works as an instructor.

In a Linear Algebra text I'm reading the author states that a Lie Algebra $K$ is non-associative unless we have $[x, y] = 0$ for all $x, y \in K$ (i.e, if $[v, [u, w]] = [[v, u], w]$ for all $v, u, w \in K$, then $[x, y] = 0$ for all $x, y \in K$). Is this true? Because I don't see it. By the way, the text is 'The Linear Algebra a Beginning Graduate Student Ought to Know' by Johnathan S. Golan. Thanks.

It's not true.
Start with the Jacobi identity: $[a,[b,c]] + [b,[c,a]] + [c,[a,b]] = 0.$
If $[,]$ is associative then $[a,[b,c]] = [[a,b],c] = -[c,[a,b]]$, so $[b,[c,a]] = 0$ for all $a,b,c$. In other words, all brackets must lie in the center of the Lie algebra.
Conversely, if we define a bilinear skew-symmetric $[,]$ for which $[b,[c,a]]=0$ holds identically, then we have a Lie algebra because the Jacobi identity is trivially satisfied.
So take a three dimensional vector space with basis $x,y,z$ and define $[x,y]=z$ and $[x,z]=0$ and $[y,z]=0$. This gives a counterexample.
It is true (and we have proved above), that if the Lie bracket is associative then we have $[[a,b],c] = [a,[b,c]] = 0$ for all $a,b,c$.

Everybody needs a road bag. It should be stored pre-packed with everything you'd need for a last-minute adventure - cash, chargers, and a few changes of underwear. We figure it also should look the part, and what better fit could you find than this Botkier Horizon Tote ($395), printed with an eye-catching tribute to the open road?

Allison Sekemoto once struggled with the question: human or monster?
With the death of her love, Zeke, she has her answer.
Allie will embrace her cold vampire side to hunt down and end Sarren, the psychopathic vampire who murdered Zeke. But the trail is bloody and long, and Sarren has left many surprises for Allie and her companions—her creator, Kanin, and her blood brother, Jackal. The trail is leading straight to the one place they must protect at any cost—the last vampire-free zone on Earth, Eden. And Sarren has one final, brutal shock in store for Allie.

The goodie of the day, is the NYNE Mini Portable Bluetooth Speaker. With its space aged abstract looks, which could equate it something in Star Trek, is its technology up for the challenge?
It came with a full charge, so now, It became time to pair and test, then pair and test again. Other accessories included the necessary cords and a neoprene case with a carabineer hook.
It was paired at first with 3 Bluetooth devices;
· Apple iPhone 4
· MacBook Air running Mavericks
· Android Tablet running Kitkat
Pairing was fast and seamless on all three devices. You aren't going to buy a speaker for its rapid pairing though, are you? No. You want to know what it will do for your auditory senses.
In looking through my iTunes library, I wanted to pick a range of songs in varying genres, to give the speaker the best test. It was tested with varying genres including;
· Hard Rock; Crazy Nights by Kiss
· Rap; It's Tricky by Run DMC
· Oldies; Run around Sue by Dion and the Belmonts
· Soft Rock; Desert Moon by Dennis DeYoung
· Comedy; I'm Starvin' by John Pinette
There was also an additional test as I watched the sound intensive opening of "Saving Private Ryan" via DVD, but also a concert on Netflix. To describe it in a word; Awesome. The base sounds were low and the guitar riffs were hot. The rap sounds vibrated the room. This speaker is as pleasing to the ears as it is to the eye.
To test its durability, I hooked it on to my bike. During my 20 mile ride, I took various dips, turns and bumps. Not once did it falter. The sound was constantly clear and crisp. The side bar here is that it is not meant to be clipped to a bike, but the carabineer clip was strong enough to hold it at handle bar level on a brake cable.
The last test was to see how it performed as a speaker phone. Perform, it did. On both ends, clarity was excellent. Sound and volume control could not be beat.
Over the last few years, many Bluetooth devices have appeared in this column, ranging from headsets, to headphones, speakers and speaker phones. Some have impressed, some, were forgettable. The NYNE Mini is a device made so the other ones can be forgotten.

April 19 is National Amaretto Day – quite possibly my wife's favorite of all liqueurs.
Amaretto is a sweet, almond-flavored, Italian liqueur. made from a base of apricot and almond pits.
One legend tells of amaretto being created by a widow who posed for Renaissance painter Bernardino Luini in 1525. The widow fell in love with the painter and made her amaretto potion for him. Her original recipe was, as rumor has it, been handed down from generation to generation without change and is currently marketed as Disaronno® Originale Liqueur.
Amaretto is a necessary liqueur for every bar, and there are a lot of great brands available, but it's also very easy to try your hand at a homemade batch. Within an hour you can have your very own bottle of amaretto.

Community Remembered/Reconstructed/Reassessed: Detroit's Chene Street Archives
The Chene Street History Project aims at preservation of the intangible heritage of Chene Street's neighborhood, once one of Detroit's "most vibrant commercial corridors," today one of its most devastated and depopulated areas. This presentation shows how re-constructing individual stories from members of this community and building a digital archive/exhibition contributes to preserving Chene Street's heritage. During my internship at the Chene Street History Project, I focused on Chene Street's Polish and Jewish legacy. I developed content for an on-line presentation concerning life stories of two Polish and Polish-Jewish immigrants — Zofia Legowska and Jennie Levenson. I will show how the Archives provide not only insight into the community life and immigrant experiences on Chene Street, but also its role as a resource for researching World War II memories. .

The director of the state Department of Water Resources has stepped down to join mining giant Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc.
Sandra Fabritz-Whitney left the agency last week, just as it is embarks on a statewide tour to tout a new plan outlining the need for a strategic water plan. The agency concludes that the state isn't facing water shortages, but needs a sound strategy to ensure no shortages develop.
In her resignation letter to Gov. Jan Brewer, Fabritz-Whitney said it was difficult to decide to leave "since I have literally grown up here at ADWR." She said during her tenure that the agency has weathered big budget cuts, become more efficient and kept customer service intact.
At Freeport, where she started Monday, she is serving as director of water strategy.

Swimming Duo Take Winter Scholar-Athlete Honors
April 3, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - This week the UMass Sports Luncheon Committee named swimming and diving tandem Chris Inglis and Michaela Butler the male and female Winter Scholar-Athlete for the 2012-13 season. The two athletes were recently honored at the UMass Weekly Sports Luncheon. This is Butler's second-consecutive Winter-Scholar Athlete honor.
Inglis was a leader in and out of the pool for the UMass men serving as co-captain for the 2012-13 season. The junior from Mashpee, Mass. posted a NCAA B standard time in the 200-yard freestyle relay en route to a gold medal finish and First Team All-Conference honors at the 2013 Atlantic 10 Swimming and Diving Championships. His time of 1:36.80 was fast enough to break his previous conference and school records.
Inglis boasts a 3.723 grade point average in chemical engineering. His outstanding work in the classroom earned him his second-consecutive Academic All-Conference honor.
Butler was dominant for the Minutewomen during the 2012-13 season setting all of the schools diving records over the course of the year. The redshirt junior from Dennisport, Mass. finished off her second-consecutive undefeated regular season before sweeping gold on both the one- and three-meter springboards at the 2013 A-10 Swimming and Diving Championships. Her success throughout the season earned her A-10 Diver of the Year honors for the second time in as many years.
At the NCAA Zone A Regional she posted a third-place finish on the one-meter and a fourth-place finish on the three-meter board, becoming the first women's swimming and diving athlete to qualify for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. At the national meet Butler finished fourth on the one-meter springboard earning her First Team All-America honors, she would also take 14th in the three-meter event.
Out of the pool the divers performance was just as strong, posting a 3.536 GPA. The kinesiology major was also named to the 2013 A-10 Academic All-Conference Team.

Evolved CMO
Posted by Site Administrator on December 14, 2007
CMOs feel pressure. They want their roles to be more strategic and at the same time, they are faced with an increasing number of changes in the marketplace from the expectations of customers to the impact of technology. So, how can CMOs evolve and help themselves to meet these demands and advance their own careers?
As an analyst for Forrester's CMO Group, I was curious about the answer. Turns out, so were many CMOs! So, my colleague, Meagan Wilson, and I partnered with Heidrick & Struggles to conduct research and survey over 130 chief marketers to understand what it takes to become the evolved CMO.
A few highlights from the research:
- CMOs believe leadership competencies are most important to their success with the top 5 being visioning and strategic thinking, people management and team development, relationship building with executive peers, business acumen, and energy and inspiration.
- CMOs don't spend enough time on their own career development, with just under 10% of time devoted to the CMO's own professional growth. However, with career aspirations of becoming the CMO of a larger organization or CEO, CMOs recognize the need to further hone skills in relationship building with executive peers, technology savviness, and personal knowledge of customers.
- CMOs want to be more involved in business strategy development and have greater P&L responsibilities; however, CMOs need to earn this by being pro-active in showing value throughout the organization. A key mechanism for doing this: leading the charge to customer-centricity. Marketers have the opportunity to leverage and share their knowledge and expertise about their customers and the marketplace to ensure the business strategy aligns to customer needs. To take advantage of this opportunity, CMOs are interested in further education in areas such as Web 2.0/Social Computing and customer-driven design techniques to engage with their customers as well as CRM and customer analytics to drive better insights and more relevant interactions.
CMOs are now in the driver's seat. If armed with a full understanding of customers and how that relates to the rest of the business, CMOs can reach their career aspirations. In the report, Jane Stevenson, the CMO practice leader at Heidrick & Struggles, shares "If you get a group of CMOs in one room, the ones that have evolved stick out like a sore thumb. They talk about the business like a business owner. They articulate things, not in a technical perspective, but in a holistic, business perspective. Innately, people gravitate to them. They are business leaders."

Let $\rho$ be a real-valued $C^2$ function on $\mathbb{R}^2$. Define $\Gamma \subset \mathbb{C}$ by $\Gamma = \{x + iy \in \mathbb{C} : \rho(x,y) = 0\}$, and assume that $\nabla \rho$ is nonvanishing on $\Gamma$.
To continue, let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$ be open and connected, and say we are given analytic $f(x + iy) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y)$ on $\Omega$. Prove that if $f(\Omega) \subset \Gamma$, then $f$ must be constant.
Here's what I have so far. In my complex analysis course, we proved the following: if an analytic $f$ in a connected domain $\Omega$ has zero derivative throughout $\Omega$, then $f$ is constant. So I just need to show that, for any $x + iy \in \Omega$, we have $f'(x + iy) = u_x (x, y) + iv_x (x, y) = 0$.
If we view $\Omega$ as subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ rather than $\mathbb{C}$, we can define the function $g(x, y) = \rho(u(x,y), v(x,y))$ on $\Omega$. This $g$ is identically zero since $f(\Omega) \subset \Gamma$. Using the chain rule, we can then get
$$0 = g_x(x,y) = \rho_x(u(x,y), v(x,y)) u_x(x,y) + \rho_y(u(x,y), v(x,y))v_x(x,y) = \nabla \rho(x,y) \cdot \langle u_x(x,y), v_x(x,y) \rangle. $$
I would like to now conclude that we must have $\langle u_x(x,y), v_x(x,y) \rangle =0 $ since $\nabla \rho$ is nonvanishing. But, I do know that the dot product of two nonzero vectors can be zero. So what have I missed? I've noticed that I have not yet used the assumption that $\rho$ has continuous second partial derivatives.
I would like to ask for hints only to this problem, as I would like to write up the final solution and post my answer here.

TERRASource DIY geothermal pricing table highlights what you will get when you purchase a TERRASource DIY geothermal system. The prices you see here are all inclusive, meaning you will get a fully functional, professional-grade TERRASource DIY geothermal system with components that are typically sold separately.
How is TERRASource able to offer industry-best pricing?
Many of our competitors do not sell you a ready-to-install geothermal system like we do. Your TERRASource DIY geothermal systems is pre-fabricated by professional engineers that have done thousands of systems. When you're pricing out a geothermal system, you'll most likely be dealing with a local technician that has minimal field experience. Local installers actually fabricate and engineer your loop/system on site. This is a time consuming process that requires special tools and equipment, resulting in final invoice estimates 30% or more when compared to TERRASource.
* If your property is over 5,000 Sq. Ft., we will need to gather additional information. Simply click the "Get Started" button and a TERRASource technician will contact you.

Starting Embedded Linux Application Development on ARM based processors
This course introduces embedded Linux development to existing embedded system-on-chip developers. It focuses on ARM based processors and the ARM DS-5 IDE. Little or no experience of embedded Linux or Linux application development is assumed. The course takes advantage of the DS-5 package to help speed up the learning process and remove impediments, whilst focusing on the requirements of embedded applications (such as low level hardware access & TCP/IP socket communication).
The Challenges of Embedded Linux Application Development
For the embedded software engineer, starting embedded Linux application development can present a major hurdle. Conceptually, things are very different to development using an RTOS or bare metal programming… Linux shows its mainframe heritage. To further complicate matters, embedded Linux application development normally requires development tools that run under Linux. The learner therefore needs to first install and learn the basics of desktop Linux. Once this hurdle has been surmounted, there are then various choices for open source development tools: both command line and IDE-based. Although this wide choice is very powerful, it represents a fierce challenge as one attempts to find a learning path. The purpose of this Course is to provide a unified, coordinated path for embedded developers starting out in embedded Linux programming. There are actually very few books which focus on embedded Linux programming. Once you have a working Linux platform the newbie developer is faced with the question 'What do I do Next?' This course is designed to answer that question.
Contents Summary
An Introduction to Linux and The DS-5 Toolchain
Linux began life as a mainframe operating system, migrated to PC desktop and is now widely used in embedded systems. This section gives a brief history of Linux and the challenges for embedded developers. We also review the DS-5 toolchain for Linux development.
First Steps with DS-5 and Target Hardware
This section covers building and running some example programs in the DS-5 simulator and a first look at the DS-5 debugger. We also setup the course hardware and download a Linux image onto the target.
A First Application Hello GPIO
Once the hardware is up and running we can write our first Linux application which interacts with the Target hardware.
Introduction to the Linux OS
This section introduces the structure and philosophy of the Linux operating system. Using the Linux command line shell we can explore the key shell commands and the OS file structure. This section also examines Linux security and file permissions and explains how these should be managed in an embedded system.
Device Drivers in Linux
This section looks at Linux device drivers which are used to communicate with device peripherals. We examine their basic structure and how to access them from both the command line and application programs. We also look at how to use libraries to communicate with IO in place of device drivers and how to discover which drivers have been loaded when the Kernel boots.
Processes and Interprocess Communications
This section looks at how to create multi process applications and how to communicate between different running processes. This allows you to create more rugged higher performing applications and is a step towards multi core processing.
Debugging Code, Profiling and Performance Tuning
In this section we look at the more advanced features for the DS-5 debugger. The DS-5 profiler is also introduced to optimize the performance of your application.
Sockets and TCP/IP
Embedded systems are increasingly using socket-based communications to communicate with the
outside world. A primary reason for choosing embedded Linux is the free, mature, built-in TCP/IP communications stack and tools. This section introduces the TCP/IP resources available within Linux.
Where Do I Go From Here?
Linux is an Open source operating system and is maintained by a very active community. Here we review the best resources for furthering your knowledge.

To ensure a good Instructor to student ratio the maximum class size is six delegates.
This is a one day course and runs approximately 9.30 – 4.30. Refreshments and lunch are provided.
We do not have any dates planned at this time. However, if you would like us to run this course at your site for a minimum of 4 delegates, then please get in touch!
Please contact Louise Taylor directly to discuss your requirements.
