Cities and resort towns worldwide host a "taste" of restaurant offerings every year but Vail's has become a destination event and stands to etch itself even deeper on the radar for out-of-town foodies and wine enthusiasts after this week's festival.Besides, how many city tasting events are ski-in, ski out?Taste of Vail organizers have not only stepped up a notch with new events but some of the valley's top restaurants that haven't participated in years past are taking part this year."This is our very first time for Taste of Vail," said Bonnie Havlick, owner of The Alpenrose, one of Vail's oldest (nearly 40 years) and most iconic restaurants. "We have a new branch in Edwards - The Rose, where Bonjour Bakery used to be. We have Mark, a mixologist who wants to compete against the other top locals and Bill working in the kitchen with Gunther. Now the Alpenrose is also making crepes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Gunther is blossoming and we are blossoming. We thought it was time we showcase what we have to offer."Also on the lineup for the first time in several years is Vail's Sweet Basil and its new sister restaurant Mountain Standard plus the Vail Chophouse, famed international chef Richard Sandoval's Latin-influenced Cima (which will become Maya, a Modern Mexican Kitchen & Tequileria, beginning in June) and Edwards local favorite Italian joint Zinos."It was an interesting year last year because we reached out to the restaurant community for feedback on ways to improve the festival. A lot of the stuff we talked about on a general basis was promoting the Vail lifestyle, specifically as it relates to food, beverage ... well not beverage, but wine and spirits," said Taste of Vail board member Greg Moffet. "What truly differentiates Taste of Vail from any other event of its kind anywhere is that the guy pouring the wine at Mountain Top Picnic or the lamb cook off is the guy who made it. It's not the reps, the promoters or an employee. it's bringing that level of attention to wine and highlighting it with the spectacular cuisine we have. It's fun to go to other resort towns see, compare and realize that outside of a couple urban centers in the U.S., nobody can touch our cuisine offerings."The meal foodies relish mostAnd it's not just food and wine. The four-day festival also includes expert seminars on bourbon, cigars, olive oil and food origins. Historically, the Lamb Cook-Off has kicked off the festival on Thursday and been followed up by the classic signature events - Mountaintop Picnic on Friday and Grand Tasting Saturday, but this year's festival starts early with the brand new Nordic (or snowshoe) Wine Tour (see page BX for more info on this event) and, following the mountain top picnic, steers festival goers to restaurants Friday night for their own respective signature showcases."We are starting the festival on Wednesday now to accommodate this new, soon-to-be signature event," said Kristin Yantis of Malen Yantis Public Relations, which has helped market Taste of Vail for the last four years. "Friday night is Taste of Vail Restaurant Night. The TOV board listened to the restaurants and one of their desires was to have some events end earlier to encourage festival goers to experience dining in the restaurants each evening. Participating restaurants will be showcasing Taste of Vail wines and have menus paired with the wine. Many restaurants will have the winemaker or owners of the vineyard on hand to talk to guests about their wine."Several of the Taste's most popular events (Mountain Top Picnic, the Lamb Cook-Off ...) happen during the day. This year, organizers are steering restaurants to highlight their finest on Friday night, because dinner after all, is the meal most foodies relish most."Friday night historically has been a quiet night in the event. We have Mountain Top in the afternoon and that was it, but this year we want to make sure the restaurants are optimizing their exposure to this destination food and wine audience," Moffet said. "We'll have seven or 10 players pitching a Taste of Vail night with a winemaker, offering the deal of the century."From Wednesday to Saturday night, here is what's in store for Taste of Vail 2013:Today:The Nordic Wine Tour from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Vail Nordic Center. Guests are outfitted in snowshoes or cross country skis and take to the mostly flat, slightly rolling jaunt along which wine stations and tasting tents will be set up with standing tables, Euro-style. Moffet jokes that if there were chairs "people would never stand back up" but said the jaunt around the golf course "won't be too rigorous."Thursday:Lamb Cook off from 3 to 6 p.m. in Vail Village, filling the streets with hundreds of hungry meat lovers vying to try local chef's creative lamb concoctions and the best bite is decided at the end of the day. Colorado Wine Dinner at The 10th at Mid-Vail from 6 to 8 p.m. Colorado's own Canyon Winds Cellar out of the lush Western Slope pairs its finest with a scrumptious multi-course meal. Davidoff Cigars with Woodford Bourbon and Jack Daniels Single Barrel 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Tap Room in Vail. Dominican cigars and fine brown liquor are no longer just the past-time of elder gentlemen. See for yourself. Friday:Sparkling Wine Primer 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Four Seasons Vail. We all know it's never too early for bubbly and delve into the reality that champagne isn't the only thing with bubbles. Mountaintop Picnic from Noon to 2:30 p.m. The only sight you won't see at the top of Vail mountain is skimpy cocktail dresses and high heels. Don't hesitate to wear your ski gear and park your boards before venturing into a snow fortress housing some of the valley's tastiest bites and the world's most lip-smacking wines. Over at Terra Bistro in Vail from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., Marczyck Fine Foods and Niman Ranch tackle a different sort of mystery - "Where Does our Food Come From?" Oh the politics of farming and ranching. Taste of Vail Restaurant nightAll of the delicious bites you had from some of the best local restaurants at Mountaintop will be dinner-sized with the restaurant's special menu items and exclusive wine pairings while a handful of restaurants- Kelly Liken, Vail Chophouse, Elways and Zinos - host custom menus with their own guest winemakers, Kelly Liken with Henriot Champagne, Zinos with Antinori and Elways with Grgich Hill Winery. If you prefer grain over grapes, head to the Mirabelle at the base of Beaver Creek from 6:30 to 8:30 as chef Daniel Joy prepares a special tasting menu to match the Best of Belgium lineup of beers.Saturday:It's a day of intricate education beginning at Four Seasons Vail from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. when Giuliana Imports founder Steve Lewis takes you on an Exploration of Olive Oil, likening certain nuances to those of wines from different parts of the world. Speaking of hip wine-growing regions, hit the Washington State Seminar from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to learn more about the most Northwester state's hot varietals - Syrah and Merlot two of the big ones. Like white? At Matsuhisa in Vail, Austrian specialists present Riesling, the forgotten Noble Varietal from 1 to 2:45 p.m., highlighting the grape's oft-overlooked majesty and complexity. It's back to red at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort from 3 to 4:30 p.m., specifically Wines of Oregon highlighting the state's famed Pinot Noir. The finale of all finales, the Grand Tasting and Auction fills Vail Marriott's Grand Ballroom with a veritable dreamscape of carefully constructed bites and sippers from 6 to 10 p.m. Visit www.tasteofvail.com for more information and ticket prices.

A tube station with Roger's|name
02.04.2012 | Off Court, Starseite 3
In celebration of the Olympic Games in London 2012, the names of 361 tube stations will be changed to carry the names of Olympic athletes. Roger will have his own stop near the city centre. "Roger Federer" will be one of the stops on the black line, the so-called Northern Line and will replace the normal stop "Old Street".
Athletes like Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto'o, Usain Bolt, Fabian Cancellara, Carl Lewis, Michael Jordan and Muhammad Ali will be honoured with their own tube station stops during the Olympics this summer.
wow feels great to know tht my KING.... its wondefull you deserve more than anything in this world....love you takecare of yourself.... :)
Hi Roger the tube station in your name is great! I do hope you and your family are well and enjoying a lovely break coupled with training and preparation for the summer ahead. Its a long summer now with the Olympics and I think you are right to prepare very carefully and peak at the right time.
Good luck and success in your next tournaments before the Paris Open.
Good luck and success in your next tournaments before the Paris Open.
Roger, the sustainable solution to injury-ridden men's tennis?
Dear Roger: What a great honor having a tube station named after you. I lived in London until 1958, so traveled on the Northern Line quite a lot, but London has changed so much since that time. The last time I was in London was 1988 and I barely recognized it when I was on that visit. I was ready to return to America after being there for one week. Good luck for the summer 2012 tennis season and the 2012 Olympics. Your loyal Midwestern tennis fan. My best to Mirka and your precious twins.
Awesome, good way to honor legends and you're the best. You're GOAT. All the best for French Open and Olympics.
A wonderful fun idea Roger your own stop with the other great names. I wish you good luck for the Olympics and every other tournament you play this year. For me you are Tennis and I hope you play for a very long time, tennis is just not the same when you are not playing. "FEDS FOR EVER"
Hi Roger - What a fun idea to get everyone in the Olympic spirit! I wish I was in London to take a picture of your London tube stop! I see that your buddy Rafa has one right after you! By the way, thanks for playing Monte Carlo last year! I was so lucky to see you play and this year you've decided to skip this tournament. Even though I'd love to be there right now, wouldn't be the same without you.
cant wait for london olympic!!last 2008 beijing olympic saw you as bearer of you country flag^_^
Hi Rog,
Writing after a long long time! Hope you are enjoying the break with yr family. Dying to see you back in the court! The Olympic Gold is yours! All the Very Best dear!

We are looking at a hardware upgrade. While I use many different software packages in my work, but I feel compelled to optimize for QCAD. We were wonderng if there is any benefit to getting a NVIDIA Quadro card instead of just a regular gaming card? The Quatros are supossedly optimized for Real Life but can be quite pricey. Also, would there be any advantage of say and 8 core CPU vs a 4 core. This would be for QCAD Version 22.214.171.124 running on Linux Mint 15 "Olivia" using a AMD 64 bit platform. Your thoughts would be appreiated.
Thanks and Enjoy,

PhRMA Reacts to Part D Rebates Legislation
Legislation Introduced to Impose Mandatory Price Controls
04.16.13 | By
Today there was legislation introduced by several members of Congress that would impose mandatory government price controls in the form of rebates in Medicare Part D. We've talked a lot on the Catalyst about the success of Medicare Part D, both for seniors and taxpayers, and this proposed policy would unravel much of that success. I've included below PhRMA's response to this legislation that we shared with media today.
"Several members of Congress today echoed President Obama's recycling of a flawed policy proposal: imposing mandatory government price controls in Medicare Part D, cleverly disguised as "rebates." But unlike familiar consumer rebates that return savings to shoppers, this policy would undermine a successful and popular program, sending "rebates" to the Federal Treasury, not seniors. The reality: analysts predict that this proposal would bring higher premiums and copays, more restricted access to medicines for seniors and Americans with disabilities, and diminished research on the next generation of medicines.
"In Medicare Part D, as in the broader market for prescription drugs, large and powerful private insurers and pharmacy benefit managers negotiate discounts and rebates. Some of these purchasers represent total patient populations equal in size to the population of some European G-8 countries, and also negotiate on behalf of private employers and the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program (FEHBP). The competition between health plans in Part D is the secret to its ability to offer beneficiaries broad choice and high enrollee satisfaction at an affordable premium. What is the result? Prescription drug costs in Part D are hundreds of billions of dollars less than projected, while the most recent government data show that retail prescription drug spending is growing more slowly than health care overall. Drug spending grew by just 0.4 percent in 2010 and by 2.9 percent in 2011, while overall health spending grew by 3.9 percent in both years.
"The fact is that Part D is working for seniors and taxpayers. It has greatly improved seniors' access to medicines, held down premiums, achieved billions of dollars of savings on other Medicare costs by improving health, and cost hundreds of billions of dollars less than projected. What's more, biopharmaceutical companies are paying tens of billions in new fees and discounts on medicines in Medicare that were imposed after Part D was created.
"The biopharmaceutical research sector is the most research and development-intensive sector in the entire economy. The unmatched level of investment in R&D translates into remarkable medical advances that make lives better and longer and spurs economic growth. The right path is to work toward policies that benefit patients and the economy instead of continuing to promote counterproductive proposals that would undermine both the biopharmaceutical research sector and America's ability to achieve new medical advances, promote innovation and create jobs."

What is a VQ lung scan?
How do you get ready for the test?
What is done during the test?
How long will the test take?
How do you get to your test?
Your doctor has suggested you/your child have a VQ lung scan as part of the evaluation at National Jewish Health. A VQ scan is a test that shows how the air goes into the lungs. It also shows how blood circulates through the lungs. Your doctor will use this information to determine the best treatment for you.
The nuclear medicine technologist will explain the VQ scan to you before you start. Ask questions if you don't understand. The technologist will have you/your child remove clothing that has metal or other clothing fasteners like buttons or zippers. You will be given a hospital gown to wear. You will lie on an imaging table during the VQ scan. It is important to lie still during the VQ scan.
You will start the test by breathing in a radioactive gas mixed with oxygen. A radioisotope has a low level of radioactivity so it can be seen during the scan. While you breathe in the gas, images will be taken to show the air going into the lungs.
Next a liquid radioisotope will be injected into a vein. This will show how blood circulates through the lungs. After this is done, at least 8 images will be taken.
The VQ scan does not hurt. You will feel a prick when the liquid is injected.
A VQ scan will take about 1 hour to complete.
Your appointment is in radiology. Radiology is in on the third floor of the Smith Building. On the day of your test, first report to the Admissions Desk just inside the Main Entrance. Admissions will direct you to the appropriate location for your test.
If you have questions, or will not be able to make your appointment, please call: 303.398.1611.

Definition of uvular in English:
1 Phonetics (Of a sound) articulated with the back of the tongue and the uvula, as r in French and q in Arabic.
Example sentences
- In some Semitic languages the cognate sound is a voiceless uvular stop.
- It originated as the Phoenician symbol qop, which had the value of a voiceless uvular plosive: a k like sound made well back in the mouth.
- Modern phoneticians would more precisely categorize such consonants into velar, uvular, pharyngeal, and glottal articulations.
2 Anatomy Relating to the uvula.
Example sentences
- The authors conclude that patients with obstructive sleep apnea or snoring have structural abnormalities in the boundary between the subepithelium and connective tissue in the uvular mucosa.
- They reported lymphocyte and plasma cell counts in the uvular mucosa of a control population that were half those of the nonapneic snorers in our study.
- In the present study, no correlation was found between the presence of immune cells in the uvular mucosa and the AHI.
A uvular consonant.
Example sentences
- Their proposal presupposes that the members of this set, i.e., laryngeals, pharyngeals, uvulars and velars, should have in common certain physical basis.
- For uvular stops you should feel your tongue press against the back of your throat, for other uvulars practice the plosives until you have the position down then let up just a little so there's no actual contact.
- It is triggered before non-alveolar voiced consonants and before uvulars.

Not everyone is a Michael Schumacher, but a lot of people have cars. Not everyone is a Robert Capa, but many of us have cameras. The analogy can apply to computers. Not everyone is a geek, but many people have computers. The diversity of computing skill reflects the diversity in the the real world.
Seems like I'm stating the obvious, until you look at how people at various computing skill levels respond to others.
We live in a world with a wide range of skill and need with regards to computers. Many people are content with just a browser, email program and some type of word processing. That minimal level fits their needs. I have a family member who was quite content with their old PC spec'd with 64MB RAM, 233MHz Celeron, 8GB HDD running Windows 98. Until they purchased a MP3 player and digital camera, their need for more advanced hardware and software didn't change.
Of course, at the other end of the spectrum are all the highly-skilled, creative people who created the application and operating system I'm using to write this blog. Their requirements for hardware, software, challenges and upgraded systems don't compare with the basic user.
In between lies the typical Bell curve of skill levels and needs. Unfortunately, when you bring this diversity of skills and needs together, the result is often conflict.
We see examples of a user beginning to explore other programs beyond the basic level. The user asks a common question on a web forum and pays the price in the responses received. Sometimes the responses don't even answer the question. Or the new user rips an answer they don't understand, instead of admitting their lack of understanding. Go to any web forum and you won't have to search long for conflicts between different user levels.
...Back to stating what SHOULD be the obvious.
A little respect goes a long way. Ask for help politely. If someone was helpful to you, then acknowledge their help. If you disagree with someone, then respond from a basis of fact not flame. I'll never forget a blog listing programs with certain characteristics. One response was highly negative with the respondent claiming the list excluded one specific application. Actually, the application was on the list. At least read the article before deciding you disagree.
Don't take yourselves so seriously. I read articles clearly written from a humorous angle that get treated as a serious statement, and seriously flamed as a result. Serious issues include starving children, war or cures for malaria and cancer. Whether one person prefers Firefox and you prefer Opera is NOT a serious issue.
Speaking of preferences, different choices don't necessarily mean wrong choices. My personal choices lean towards FOSS programs. The next sentence may be sacrilege on a freoftware website. However, if you've evaluated your needs and choose a proprietary application, that is your choice. Personal preference is still alive and well.
These points are not intended to be a sermon, but a challenge. How do YOU respond when faced with these conflicts? Are you part of the problem or the solution?
I love playing the troll
It's so much fun. However, I always have a correct and sane response to their query before posting a troll. My policy is to post the correct response 30 minutes after trolling the guy. You may wonder why not just forego the troll? Like I said earlier - it's so much fun.
Possibly not fun for the receiver
It's possibly not fun for the person being trolled, and they could have had their answer 30 minutes earlier :)
They just don't care...
When i was young, you had to know a few things before you were able to actually do anything with a computer.
I got my first PC with 10 years, and i had MS-Dos. Yes i know, it was bad, but it was all i had and all i knew and all i could get. So, when i needed to start a program, i had to type some commands first. When i wanted to play games, i had to know about stuff like memory management, sound driver and whatnot. I was the only one to have such a machine.
Today, everything is Point and Drool. And everyone in my family has jumped on the colorful Windows XP train.
When my Dad-in-Law tells me that 'he gets an error when he tries to start that program there and it didn't work', he tried to open some strange file format by doubleclicking it, but he didn't have the right tool for it. They don't care about the difference between a program and a file, they buy machines without knowing what the specs they're reading mean (hands up, who knows the difference between a Megahertz and a Megabyte?), they don't even READ THE [BEEEEP] ERROR DESCRIPTIONS ANYMORE, and come running to me when their ugly little MS-machines stop working, which was their own fault in 99 out of 100 cases. They don't want explanations, not even a solution, they just want a FIX.
How do we solve the problem? Give them Linux and tell them to be happy? Tried that, it was a disaster. "I can't use that, it looks TOTALLY different!" is what you hear. When they're polite. If not, it's more like "What have you done to my computer? Bring back the old one or i'll disown you!!!!"
Please, won't anyone tell me what to do with them?
Not much.
Not a lot you can do. Just say you which products you will and wont support. On the other hand if the computer dies and they are left crying that they have lost all their data, just leave them with a knoppix disc for a week or until they get used to it saying "im still waiting for the fix". Also make sure that they are not using pirated software (refuse to obtain or install pirated software for them), because when it hits the hip-pocket some people will start to listen.
Please, won't anyone tell me
Please, won't anyone tell me what to do with them?
How about banishing them to /dev/null? :)
Don't support them
It took me a while to realise that Microsoft has an underpaid group of support technicians. They're called nephews and nieces by many computer users. My solution has been simple, I refuse to help people not using Free Software. I help my dad when he has problems with OpenOffice.org (on Windows mind you). I won't help them with Outlook Express. My sister wanted a new computer and I said sure. I can get you one at dealer price but only if you run Linux on it. She now runs Linux, she emails she draws maps in xfig (xfig - I hadn't even heard of it!), she writes in OpenOffice.org and send Word documents to others. It has been an empowering experience for her. She recently went to a computer store to buy a printer, the puffed up sale rep saw an easy target and gave lots of upsells. Here simple sentence, "Yes but will it work with Linux", got him scurrying to his manager to find out. The tables turned and she was treated like an intelligent customer not an easily befuddled woman.
So my solution is simple. I refuse to be the unpaid support arm for for Microsoft. Some of my family go elsewhere, that's fine with me. For me the proof is that I have onverted one or two to Free Software and I don't have to compromise my views on freedom to support the others.
Help your Neighbor?
I cannot NOT support them. They live in the same house, and they won't stop whining until i do. And it would run a lot into the "Told you so" stuff mentioned before.
It's great when you have the success of liberating someone from the worst OS in the World, but it doesn't seem to work with my folks.
Help you co-inhabitants?
Yes, you can!
repeat after me .... "Yes, I can help you, but No, I won't help you!"
or try:
"Yes, I can help you by changing yo to Linux so that I will help you."
Re: They just don't care...
Don't bother. Let them call a tehnician (preferably not a cheap one) and pay per visit every time. They'll learn.
Stop supporting Windows, refer them to MS
Fully agree with the earlier responses. A certain point in time someone I know had had a virus attack and his Win98 PC did not work all right anymore after cleaning. He asked me if I couldn't reinstall Win98 for him. Told him that I don't want to do Windows anymore, but that I was ready to get him up and running with Linux. It took more time to answer his questions on what this would mean for him than to install it and give him the basic training required for him to start using it (two evenings of work, including the recovery of his data). He's now a very happy Linux user. Never bugged me again for help, but each time we see each other he thanks me again for having him helped out.
Linux is a hobby for me. Windows is not. I'm glad to help people with Linux. Helping them with Windows just is boring and annoying. And I tell them that!
do what is necessary
put the box on the store shelves with the tag line "instead of windows"
"no other software necessary to buy"
watch the adventurous non-geeks start adopting.
Tried that...
You do realize there are a number of different GNU/Linux distributions that do precisely what you suggest, right?
I was going to say "it didn't work", but of course, that's an oversimplification. For some people it did work, and those people are now Linux users, though they probably abandoned the distro that originally brought them into the fold (or are getting it for free).
It's more accurate to say it's not a very robust business model, and that's probably why Red Hat stopped bothering with it. They now focus on their "enterprise" edition, and have left the business of satisfying consumers to the free Fedora project, which is spun off of the Red Hat distribution.
And of course, it can be said that while it does attract a few people, the bulk of the market is still too nervous about switching to try the alternatives available to them.
Well done
I congratulate you on touching on a subject that not only affects computer forums and computers but society in general. Respect for others seems to have waned over the past couple of decades but I think it is coming back, mainly because people are realising they themselves don't like being treated without respect.
Again, well done :)

'Be actively nice and have integrity'
Some in the FOSS community are socially inept..
FOSS SOFTWARE has been an amazing and consistent success but you are correct that some in the community have never attained the social skills or emotional maturity to be able to communicate properly to the user community is so needs to survive and thrive. Those that act in a negative way toward new users of FOSS do us all of FOSS community a large disservice. Most often it is their own fears and inadequacies that get in the way of them interfacing with other people or realizing that they are not the well source of all human knowledge because they used vi err..once... Most of the Axxholes are actually the newbs anyway but are afraid of being discovered. People need to grow up and learn that we ALL have everything to learn and should be all about SHARING and COMMUNICATING. Community based software needs to maintain a positive stance and consistent efforts to bring EVERYONE into the know about FOSS. Grow up people! Go outside, get a girl/boyfriend and maybe some therapy and maybe you will actually learn something. And from one FOSS advocate who is not an ass.. Long live FOSS!
Forum Courtesy
Yeah, its worth remembering that people wouldn't ask questions in forums if they already knew the answer. The next time you feel tempted to give some naive question a blast, you could be discouraging a new Linux user who will return defeated to the 'told you so' smirks from the M$ community. That's a thought that would be pretty hard to live with.
I stopped helping people with Microsoft programs
My parent's PC didn't open .pps files in slideshow view. After some googling I found the answer: Powerpoint's "detect and repair" function. About five minutes later, all my father's email had disappeared. (Yes, my father's EMAIL disappeared after executing a command in POWERPOINT). I read every message box after executing this command and none of them made me even remotely suspect that this was going to happen.
I spent about 4 hours restoring his email which was hidden somewhere on his hard disk. All the settings had to be restored manually.
I told my parents and everyone else that from now on, they could rely on me for help with FOSS programs, and maybe some proprietary ones, but never againg with anything touched by M$.
This calls to mind the
This calls to mind the famous joke about how to get good support from certain GNU/Linux user forums/mailing lists.
If you ask a polite question about your problem - "How do I configure my graphics card?" - you'll get flamed, called a n00b and generally insulted, told to return to Windows etc.
If, on the other hand, you say "OMFFSM! Linux is t3h l4m3!!! My graphics card works fine on Windows but Linux can't even get it configured!!!" then you will get a flurry of responses setting out in full technical detail precisely how to do what's needed...
This thread is a good example: if you don't register you are immediately called an "Anonymous coward"! ;-)
Windows support
I've found out that the best way to stop being asked to support others is to refer them to the "manufacturer"--usually meaning MS. Hey, they made it, they should know, right? Then they watch their wallet get empty and ask about using "that linux thing you're using". They look (and feel horror) at the price of MS-Word, I tell them to look at OpenOffice.org; Photoshop (usually to correct red-eyes in pictures), I suggest they look at GIMP for Windows. The best way to get converts is not so much to go around telling people, "You're free now, run GNU/Linux!"; it's best to let them know, little by little, that there's something else, under better terms than they got from MS. (I think Asimov said it (in one of his Foundation novels) that with suffcient grumbling, the leader will fall; no, I can't remember which novel.)
As for the forums...that's another matter. Quite frankly if I went into the control room of a nuclear power plant and asked, "excuse me, what are atoms?" I'd expect a pretty strong reaction from the personnel (and security). Getting flamed is the price to pay for going into the wrong newsgroup (done it once; that's when I learned I should read the forum/newsgroup FAQ). May not be the nicest or best learning experience, but it was effective in my case. It's not as if typing "linux help" into the Google search box on Firefox doesn't bring up linuxhelp.net, linuxquestions.org and several "beginner" answer sites.

I use MagicDisc to mount my Blu-ray ISOs and play them on my PC using PowerDVD 8 Ultra. I use Movie Collector to track which movies I own and a great feature of this is the ability to link to the movie on the HDD and launch it. Works great with DVDs. But Blu-ray movies on my HDD are saved as ISO files. For consistancy, I created a batch file to mount the Blu-ray ISO and I setup Vista to autoplay a movie when inserted into a drive. Having a PS3 I started searching for an excellent Media Server to stream my PC HDD DVD and Blu-ray movies. I came accross the PS3 Media Server and it works well with my DVDs. However, as I understand the Ps3 cannont handle ISOs. What I've noticed however, is that the PS3 Media Server does see my mounted virtual drives. So, I'm wondering if there would be a way for the PS3 Media Server to do something similar to what i've done on my PC with a batch file.
Auto mount the Blu-ray ISO and stream. Not sure if Transcoding would be necessary since the PS3 handles Blu-ray playback. If there is no solution, I would have to mount the Blu-ray ISO on the PC manually and then I could see the content on the PS3 via PS3 Media Server. Thoughts would be appreciated.

Easiest Nappy/Diaper Bag...Ever!!
6. Place the pocket piece- right side up- in the absolute centre of the lining fabric. Pin around the pocket.
7. Now mark the centre of the pocket with a line right across the fabric parallel with the bag top. Measure 2 inches on either side of the central line and mark' Stitch from the top of the pocket along one side, along the 2 inch line and up the other side. Stitch another line in the middle to make 2 pockets. Turn and sew the other side of the pocket exactly the same. 8. Make a fabric sandwich. Place the fleece on the bottom; place the lining next right side up, place the top wrong side up (so the right side is touching the right side of the lining). Carefully pin all layers together making sure the handles are kept away from the stitching area. 9. Stitch right around the bag through all layers leaving a small gap to turn the bag right side out.
10. Turn out and press. 11. Match tops together with right side fronts together. Stitch down both sides of the taking care to catch the small opening into the seam. 12. Press the side seams open flat and stitch around the top of bag. 13. Push the bottom of the bag flat and match the side seams to the centre bottom of the bag. Mark a line half an inch from the pocket fabric. Stitch on this line on both sides. 14. Cut some bottom base to fit the 'pocket' across the bottom. Insert the grid into the pocket and turn the bag the right side out. 15. Attach Velcro to the top inside either by sewing or by using Fabric Fusion Velcro which can be just ironed on.

Just finished my first bag (my first sewing project done by myself)! Thanks so much for an easy tutorial. (That's a link to the bag I created.)
- 17 July 2008 at 12:49
I just finished making this bag and have a few comments:
* the straps in the final product are definitely longer than the straps described in the pattern pieces. I would estimate about 30 cms longer
* The pocket instructions are difficult to follow (or are incorrect). Fold the shorter edges to the middle and sew the outside raw edges.
* There is no explanation of how to join/finish the straps. I would sew them together after ironing (to form a full circle).
Otherwise I am pleased and found the pattern quite easy.

hi there! just wondering if there is a way to customize the pockets a little more? I cloth diaper my son and I'm having a hard time finding a diaper bag with big enough pockets for his diapers-and one with a nice sized bottle pocket on the inside too! Is there any way to change the pocket pattern to make some of the pockets a little bigger and some a little smaller?
- 2 September 2009 at 21:31

I am also a little confused on the straps. And is there a way to view the pictures close up? Or is that the only size? I am having trouble understanding about the pockets too. Which edge and I going to sew?

I agree that the pockets are a bit confusing - as evidenced by my finished product! My pockets were the full length of the bag and quite short so I think something is backwards about the layout. That also left me without a pocket ot put the base in. Otherwise, great tutorial! I did improve mine by making 2 small pockets which sit between the straps on the outside - straps go over them, but then the ends of the straps tucked under the pocket when sewn to be more "finished". I used cute Thomas the Train fabric to make this for my grandson's mom. Can't wait to make a small one for my daughter's dolls & a bigger one for me. I did manage to break 5 needles when sewing since the end product was quite thick with all the layers. Thanks!

It took me only 3 hrs from start to finish after I carefully read the directions. Wonderful bag, fairly easy directions. I agree that on the "making the inside pockets" instructions, it should be the shorter sides go towards the middle. this gives you wider pockets. The way it is written I have deep narrow pockets. I also put outside pockets between the straps ( using the straps to hols the pocket sides) and tucked the bottom of the straps under to give a more finished look. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

27.11.2012 - French TxCell closes a third financing round. With €12.4m, the company will bring its T cell-based immunotherapy for Crohn's disease into Phase III.
TxCell SA is a biotechnology company from Valbonne specialising in T cell-based immunotherapies for the treatment of severe chronic inflammatory diseases. On 26 November, it announced the successful closure of a third financing round for €12.4m. The money largely comes from the InnoBio fund. Managed by CDC Enterprises, the fund accounts for €6m. The remaining amount has been provided by TxCell's existing shareholders Auriga Partners and Seventure Partners, two venture capital firms firmly rooted in France. Both VCs have a strong background in biotechnology. Auriga also financed lab equipment specialist Cytoo SA from Grenoble, Seventure a biofuel plant in Toulouse .
These additional financial resources will enable TxCell to pursue the development of its lead product candidate, Ovasave®. The antigen-specific Treg cell-based immunotherapy is for the treatment of Crohn's disease in patients who are refractory to current treatments. Laurent Arthaud, Deputy CEO at CDC Entreprises said: "We are impressed by the innovative therapeutic approach and the encouraging positive clinical data obtained so far by TxCell. The company has a strong and experienced management team in place, and this capital injection will provide the necessary resources to confirm the clinical findings obtained so far and reach the next important development milestone." To date, TxCell has completed a first in man Phase I/II clinical study that proved tolerability and efficacy of Ovasave®.

The WEI skin care collection is a natural line of solutions formulated on the basis of traditional Chinese medicine. The products in the collection contain natural extracts to purify, energize, replenish and correct the skin, leading to a healthier and more beautiful complexion. With WEI skin care formulas, you can improve the look and feel of your skin without clinical interventions or harsh chemicals.
For more than 5,000 years, traditional Chinese medicine has been used to treat everything from skin imperfections to chronic diseases. The healing traditions of China incorporate a variety of natural treatments for illness that are prescribed in accordance to certain guiding principles. Some of the most important principles in the tradition are that for good health the body must be purified, energized, replenished and corrected.
The philosophy behind WEI is based on 5000 years of Chinese herbal medicine to achieve beautiful skin. When you visit an herbal clinic, the first thing the doctor does is to assess your Yin/Yang energy as the key marker of overall health. Based on that diagnosis, the doctor then writes an herbal prescription that will bring your Yin/Yang energy levels into balance. The herbs then go home with the patient to be cooked and used as treatments to improve health and vitality. Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, balance being the key to optimum health and beauty, WEI brings together Eastern wisdom with Western science.
In addition to honoring traditional Chinese medicine, the WEI brand, named after company founder Wei Young Brian, also celebrates the founder's interest in Chinese herbs that began during her childhood. Intrigued by the benefits that these herbs can deliver, specifically in the form of natural treatments and beauty secrets, Wei and her brand have teamed with two of China's most respected doctors to create herbal-based products that address a variety of skin conditions. Whether you need to hydrate your dry complexion, target common signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles, or deeply nourish the delicate skin around your eyes, WEI has a product that infuses traditional medicine with modern research for impressive results.
WEI's use of traditional Chinese medicine runs deep, and the company offers an online herbal beauty clinic, which helps you identify, first, your skin's needs and, second, the WEI products that can help address these needs.

WEI products have been endorsed by and discussed in a virtual who's who of beauty and fashion publications that include Allure, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, and more. With a nod to traditional Chinese medicine, a variety of helpful resources for current and potential customers, and the backing of a variety of notable publications, WEI has plenty to offer its customers. Become a WEI follower today.
Nature has endowed China with a wealth of plants offering healing benefits. For more than 5,000 years, the people of that land have taken advantage of these botanical treasures, developing over the centuries a system now referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The line of WEI Products is based on TCM beliefs, providing carefully formulated skin care treatments that are designed to provide a healthy balance in the skin tissues.
Central to TCM is the concept that the perfect state of health is achieved through balance and, to achieve that, WEI Products are divided into four basic categories of treatment goals: to purify (chi), energize (yang), replenish (yin) and correct (zen) skin tissues. The founder of the company, Wei Young Brian, grew up in China and studied TCM herbal wisdom under her mother and the tutelage of two of China's most renowned and respected doctors. Using this training, these WEI Products offer formulas rich in botanical extracts and oils, providing treatment for the entire range of skin conditions and challenges. Through them, natural riches and ancient tradition are combined.
Applying a medical system with its origins in the mists of Chinese history, WEI Products offer a line of skin care treatments based on effective botanical extracts. The formulas of these treatments have been developed to purify, energize, replenish and correct the condition of skin, providing smooth, firm and beautifully youthful-looking skin.
The smooth, creamy formula of WEI Noto Ginseng Repairing Hand Cream includes extracts of tianqi Chinese ginseng (Panax notoginseng), combined with ginger (Zingiber officinale), wild turmeric (Curcuma aromatic) and gan cao, Chinese liquorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) along with other laboratory-proven ingredients. Soothing and hydrating, it evens out skin tones to leave the hands hydrated, soft and silky. It can be used on any skin type, whenever hands feel rough and dry.
The jujube fruit extract in WEI Jujube Age Control Serum provides a powerful combination of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Combined with nine strengthening herbs, this treatment soothes and calms red, distressed skin. It restores a smooth, clear complexion and reduces wrinkles. The formula is free of oil, artificial colors and fragrance.
To provide a spa-like restful period of skin treatment, a ten-minute treatment with WEI Lychee Thirst Relief Mask allows the rich formula of herbal extracts to work on the tissues. The lychee (Lichi chinensis) fruit extract hydrates and brightens the skin, while such emollients as Aloe barbadensis leaf juice, caprylic/capric triglycerides (derived from coconut) and natural hyaluronic acid moisturize and fill skin cells. Recommended for normal to dry skin, this non-greasy mask renews and refreshes the complexion.

History Column Critical

My family looks forward every week to reading Cinnamon Bair's column on Polk County history. Ms. Bair will be greatly missed ["Polk's History Came to Life for Me," Bair's farewell column, Nov. 28].
Polk County is a melting pot of folks from everywhere with no background in our heritage, who we are or why we got to where we are. Cinnamon's column tied the newcomers to Polk County's heritage, culture and future.
It is critical that a column covering Polk County's history continues. The lack of historical knowledge adds to many of the world's problems, not just Polk's.

Rays beat Orioles to snap losing skid
Published: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 11:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 11:14 p.m.
BALTIMORE — Kelly Johnson and Shelley Duncan homered, James Loney had three RBIs and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-2 Wednesday night to snap a four-game skid.
Matt Moore (3-0) gave up two runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings. Although his streak of scoreless starts ended at two, the left-hander has accounted for three of the Rays' five wins this season.
The six runs were the most the Rays scored in a game since a 6-0 win over Cleveland on April 6. Following that victory, Tampa Bay lost seven of eight before turning it around against the Orioles.
After going 1 for 34 with runners in scoring position in their previous five games, the Rays went 4 for 11 in those situations, including a two-run double in the fourth by Loney that put Tampa Bay ahead for good.
Loney went 3 for 3 to raise his batting average from .167 to .242. Johnson (2 for 5) went from .200 to .229, and Duncan got two hits to boost his average 44 points to .258.
Adam Jones homered for the Orioles, who had five hits.
Baltimore starter Chris Tillman (0-1) allowed four runs and six hits in four innings to fall to 1-4 against the Rays.
Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon missed a portion of his team's first win in a week. He was ejected from the game in the fifth inning by umpire Brian Knight, who called Johnson out on a stolen base attempt. Maddon argued that Johnson beat the tag.
Johnson put the Rays up 1-0 with a first-inning shot into the right-field seats, his second homer in two games. In the bottom half, Moore struck out Chris Davis with two outs and runners on the corners.
Duncan connected in the second for a 2-0 lead. Both his home runs this season have come against Baltimore.
Jones tied it with a two-run homer in the third. The drive was initially called a double, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter insisted the ball went over the wall and bounced back into play. The umpires adjourned to watch a replay before confirming Showalter's assessment.
Tampa Bay got a pair of clutch hits in the fourth. After Evan Longoria led off with a double, Duncan looped a one-out single to center. As the throw from Jones came home, Duncan continued to second base. Loney followed with a sinking liner that got by Jones, allowing two runs to score.
In the sixth, Yunel Escobar hit a two-out RBI single for a 5-2 lead. The hit ended a 1-for-28 skid and was Escobar's first hit with a runner in scoring position in 15 tries this season.
Escobar was dropped to the No. 9 spot in the lineup, but Maddon insisted it had nothing to do with his .089 batting average. The manager said before the game that Escobar was "just a couple hits" from breaking the slump and "can do a lot of things" at the bottom of the order.

Hendrickson will direct the summer mountain guest experience as well as year-round mountain activities for Vail Mountain. He will be based in Vail and will report directly to Paul Fillion, senior director of Vail Mountain operations.
"Mark's experience in a variety of mountain operations roles - particularly during the summer - will be a great asset to Vail, particularly as we look to expand our summer offerings for guests of all ages and abilities," Fillion said. "He's clearly proven his ability in growing a summer mountain program, and we look forward to his continued success here in Vail."
Hendrickson most recently was a summer operations manager for Mammoth Mountain, where he designed and built terrain parks and trail systems for all levels of mountain bike enthusiasts as well as various events.

OAKLAND -- Dinyal New will always remember her last conversation with her 13-year-old son, Lee Weathersby III.
It was New Year's Eve and he was on his way home from the Boys & Girls Club of Oakland on International Boulevard, where he had been a member since he was 6 years old.
"He called me at 5:47 p.m. and said he wanted to come home," his 41-year-old mother said Thursday, standing on the front porch of her East Oakland home, her eyes heavy and wet. "He said he was going to stop at a food truck for a burrito and that he would be on his way."
As she always did, she told her son she loved him in Spanish. Her son responded, "Yeah, mom. I know, I know. I love you too."
They were the last words the Oakland mother would hear from Lee. Less than four hours later, apparently after stopping somewhere else, he was shot several times at 104th Avenue and Walnut Street, a few blocks from his home. He died at 4:42 a.m. New Year's Day at Highland Hospital, becoming Oakland's first homicide of 2014.
At a vigil Thursday evening at the site of the shooting, about 100 friends and relatives gathered to remember the boy, who was described as quiet and loyal.
"For the past six to nine months I had taken Lee to church. We'd pack up my Suburban and I'd take about 12 of them to church," said friend Nicole Rodriguez of Oakland. "Lee was also so faithful. I am going to miss him so much. I am blessed to have known him."
The vigil brought out not only those who knew the boy personally, but also non-violence activists, including Arthur Renowitzky, a 26-year-old San Lorenzo man who founded the Life Goes On nonprofit organization after he was shot and paralyzed in San Francisco in 2007. Coincidentally, Renowitzky, who speaks publicly around the state several times a week, had given a talk at the boy's school about two months ago.
"(The students) were very receptive," Renowitzky said about the talk. "(Gun violence) is so real for them. They see this all the time." By a show of hands, Renowitzky said every one of the 30 students indicated he or she knew someone who had been shot or killed.
And the violence in Oakland was evident to the boy's mother as well. She said she heard the shots that killed her boy but didn't think twice about the loud bangs because gunfire in Oakland on New Year's Eve is so common.
"I mean, he's 13, he should never have to deal with anything like this,'' she said. Her son was a funny, fast-talking boy, she added. "This had to be a case of mistaken identity. Those bullets had to be intended for someone else."
Lee, a 6-footer with a passion for basketball and football, was an eighth-grader at Alliance Academy Middle School, which is on the campus of Elmhurst Middle School. He played both sports at the Boys & Girls Club, was an avid San Francisco 49ers fan and also loved video games and wrestling.
School is not in session this week but several classmates, including three boys who played on the basketball team with the slain teen, stopped by a street memorial Thursday. One friend wrote: "Your smile brightened up the whole school" on a sign posted with candles, flowers, teddy bears and balloons.
Officer Jason Andersen, the lead investigator, said police don't have a motive for the killing and no arrests have been made. His mother said she believes her son had walked about one mile from the club with two friends when he was gunned down, but police have not confirmed that information.
Family, including Lee's aunt, Lorraine Wade, described the boy as a peacemaker.
"He never liked people to argue," said Wade, 47, as she stood near Lee's mother on Thursday. "He would always step in to keep the peace and be a calm in the storm. He would have done great things in life. It's a true loss for the world."
Calvester Stanley, president of the Boys & Girls Club of Oakland, said staff members called Lee a "great kid" who was well-liked. He said the organization plans to offer grief counseling for staff and members and will help the family in any way it can.
Stanley, who has worked with Oakland children for decades, said Lee's death was "disheartening. Even as young as 13, kids are on the front line and in harm's way."
In addition to his mother, Lee is survived by his father Lee Weathersby Jr.; an older brother; his grandmother Gladys McCoy, all of Oakland.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the killer. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3821 or Crime Stoppers of 510-777-8572.

best b complex ever
Posted by Reviewer1018331 on Feb 26, 2014
Guys come on.....its because of reviews like these that companies are loading our supplements with chemicals. This vitamin does not contain all those so called "natural flavors/colors to make it taste and look good to make us want to buy it.....but this is what we should buy because its the real deal....its good for us, its what our bodies need to function the way it should...so come on guys forget the taste, its pure and that's what should matter....
Now I'm sure I've got some B vitamins in me )))
Posted by Reviewer2891273 on Feb 26, 2014
I've got Crohn's disease, so it's always a chance that the tablet will go through my intestines without dissolving. That's why I started taking the tablets in microlingual form. Vitamins B are of crucial importance to those like me. The taste is nasty, but it only lasts for a couple of minutes and I eat or drink something good after taking this tablet. It gives me more energy which I do need because I feel down due to cytostatic drugs. I think I'll buy it again!
I feel better now.

I found I had to have b12 injections because my b12 was so low that I was having memory problems! I Could not absorb b12 naturally. I started looking for a product that would save me from having to go to the doctors for injections! I found the b12 in this product! Then I was advised to take more of the 'B' s group for depression and fatigue. So I tried this product - b12+ all the Bs I needed. The difference is remarkable. Once I had trouble getting through each day:( now I have a renewed vigour!!!!! :) YAY
Makes me relax
Posted by Reviewer2170266 on Jun 09, 2014
The difference between other B complex is that "Superior Source" makes me calmer in five minutes, suppose the B quantities are the reason. Good for headache. Similar to "Life Time liquid B" but portable and no need to refrigerate. 60 tablets, may be too short. Make it higher! :)
Great B-complex vitamin
Posted by Reviewer2963961 on Feb 13, 2011
Disolve right in your mouth, no need to digest, full potency. Really like these...
Good Energy
Posted by Reviewer1550058 on Jun 16, 2011
I was looking for a sub-lingual source of B, however, this product does not taste very good and I would not advise letting it dissolve under your tongue.
Bad Taste, did use much
Posted by Reviewer2350202 on Sep 27, 2011
These have a strong, unpleasant taste. We did not use them for long.

Таблетки очень легко растворяются во рту. Tablets are very easily dissolved in a mouth
Posted by Reviewer1877965 on Nov 12, 2012
Большое количество витаминов B по низкой цене. Необходимы во время болезни и при стрессе, а также для роста волос (лучше добавить к ним Inositol и Biotin в высоких дозировках) . Осторожно!! Витамины в таких дозировках не следует принимать долго без назначения врача!! Таблетки очень легко растворяются во рту. Можно принимать, не запивая. Очень удобно! A large amount of vitamins B at the low price. Are necessary during an illness and at a stress, and also for growth of hair. Carefully!! Vitamins B such dosages shouldn't be accepted long without appointment of the doctor!! Tablets are very easily dissolved in a mouth. It is possible to accept, without washing down. Very conveniently!

What would you give to have all four years of college paid for? Well now you don't have to. Antioch College in Yellow Springs Ohio may be offering all students who enroll into their school within the next three years a form of free college, which could result in some notable savings.
The reason that the College has decided to become so generous to its enrolled students in the next three years is due to the fact that the Antioch is trying to improve its status. It has suffered from decline in the past years even though it has been existence since 1850. Dedicated alumni have worked tirelessly to raise financial support to enhance the College's reputation and to spur a regrowth in order to revive the institution.
In addition to being able to offer students the ability to have a free college education, there is also the availability to have your room and board paid for as well. If you are a student who has filed for financial aid and you are determined to be eligible you will also be given the opportunity to have your on campus housing paid for. This might mean saving extra money per year in housing costs.
Antioch has been built on three guiding principles in order to best serve their student body. These principles include: providing a commitment to excellence in scholarship, providing the tools necessary to work in a cooperative work program, and to actively engage in the community as well as to social justice. This allows students to fully expand their horizons and add to the depth of their college education.
Antioch College has begun to introduce new initiatives and communication technologies in order to offer a unique liberal arts education. The academic curriculum that they employ is rigorous and takes on an interdisciplinary approach to all of their courses. The College believes in utilizing and teaching students about current issues of both a global and local scope in order to best prepare them for the world we live in.
When you decide to enroll at the College you are required to take part in a comprehensive off-campus cooperative work program. This is the only liberal arts institution in the nation to require this of its students. The purpose of this is to allow students to fully understand how to live and work productively in the community. Students will have alternative terms of working full time and studying full time.
Antioch offers students the ability to visit the campus on a daily basis. This will allow you to see the campus first hand and get an idea of what your college life will be like. Students who are wishing to take advantage of this free college opportunity also need to take part in an on campus interview. This interview will allow you to showcase your talents and prove why you should be one of the students to receive this great benefit.

Could Tipping in Restaurants Be a Fading Tradition?
How much do you leave as a tip in restaurants?
The question makes people uncomfortable in part because it seems to have no correct answer. It is also full of emotional baggage pertaining to what diners can afford, how they feel about service workers and even how adept they are at calculating percentages.
These considerations play a role in the apparent decline of tipping in the U.S, according to a new study by coupon site Vouchercloud.net. But old-fashioned economics are also driving the trend, with many respondents saying they simply cannot afford to leave the customary 20%.
The Vouchercloud survey, which included 2,612 people across the U.S., asked participants how much they usually tip waiting staff based on the typical percentage of the total bill.
According to the results, three quarters of respondents said they tip less than 20%. When asked why 57% of people within that group said they could not afford the additional cost while 33% said waiting staff often did not deserve that much of a tip.
When asked if they would ever tip 20% or more, 54% said they would if the waiting staff work hard to deserve it while 29% said "a flat 'no,'" the survey said.
The survey asked respondents if their tipping habits had changed in the past five years, and 46% they now tip a smaller percentage, within that group, 65% said their financial situation had changed.
Here is what survey participants said they paid in tips:
- Nothing- 11%
- Less than 10% of bill- 35%
- Between 10-19% of bill- 29%
- 20% or more of bill- 23%

From the governor to secretary of state, attorney general, supreme court, senate, and house -- Republicans swept Michigan elections. Analysts say the GOP victories had everything to do with the tea party.
Local tea party organizer Joan Fabiano calls her group's contribution -- boots to the ground -- volunteers giving their time and money to get conservatives back in office.
"There were a lot of 10, 20, 50 dollar contributions made," she said.
It was that support from the tea party that here in Michigan helped elect two GOP candidates in democratic held congressional districts. Tea party organizers say it's because people who helped Obama win in 2008 have had a change of heart.
"They were, 'wait a minute, I didn't sign up for this, so those are the people who voted conservative or voted for the GOP,'" Fabiano said.
And those votes paid off. But the tea party wants more than votes. It wants follow-through.
"When they got the tea party support, it was because they ran on a tea party platform of limited government and fiscal responsibility, so now we will hold them accountable," Fabiano said.
Republican State Senator-Elect Rick Jones says he hears the tea party message loud and clear from his constituents.
"Some are retired, some are out of work, some are wealthy, some are moderate or low income," Jones said. "And they all say we can't afford higher taxes -- it's time for the state to be frugal."
Fabiano says tea partiers will act as "citizen advocates," making sure that message gets listened to.

– Editor's note: Due to reader requests, we are reprinting this Remember When column, which was originally published in the Nov. 19, 2006, edition of The Lancaster News. The story of Jim the turkey has indeed become a Thanksgiving tradition at The Lancaster News.
I don't know if it was tradition or custom, but a couple weeks before "Big Thursday" or Thanksgiving Day, me and Daddy journeyed down to Tradesville to pick up our big ole gobbler.
I made it through May, in real good shape.
Of course, I had to go over to Central School and walk around that May Pole, wrapping a strip of colored crepe paper while bunches of children from all over town stood in little huddles and sang songs nobody knew.
It might make our teachers and principals happy but it sure seemed like a waste of time to me.
Betcha if they just passed out Dixie cups of chocolate ice cream we would've had more fun.
It's always amazed me how grown-ups can mess up a good thing.
Editor's note – Remember When columnist W.B. "Bill" Evans is enjoying the Easter holiday with his family. We are reprinting this column, which was published on Easter Sunday 2011 at a reader's request, with a few updates.
On Monday, the president and first lady will send out the Secret Service to round up children in Virginia and Maryland, give them a colored basket and a free pass to wallow in the grass on the South Lawn of America's back yard for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll.
I'm telling you, when I get all grown up, things are gonna change for the better around here.
The very first thing on my short list is making sure the powers that be don't start school until summer is over. The school board folks just start and stop school when they get good and ready.
Shucks, things are just getting all organized. The grass isn't growing so fast any longer that I have to mow every week.
It's been fun sharing some of my oldtime adventures with you. We have walked hand-in-hand along the sidewalks of Lancaster, browsed the store windows along Main Street, scampered for tadpoles in the rain filled pools along the railroad tracks and relived those hot summer nights as we sweltered beneath the covers fearful of the sounds of boogers and other monsters of the night creeping on the stair steps.
From Dec. 1, 1944, to Dec. 31, 1952, my father was sheriff of Lancaster County. Times have certainly changed.
Daddy was a rather closed-mouthed individual, which worked sometimes, but caused him considerable anguish at other times.
The area media and The Lancaster News were critical because he rarely gave interviews or issued press releases on criminal cases.
Only in his later years did he confide that it was up to magistrates and judges to determine guilt and folks shouldn't be tried in the court of public opinion.
Sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office, we were indeed waiting our turn.
I glanced up to see a ghost from my past, whom I hadn't seen since making the final arrangements for my mother and father so many years ago.
My son was oblivious to the man's presence and was engrossed in a story about the recreational upgrades for Indian Land in Wednesday's copy of The Lancaster News.
I nudged my boy and asked, "Hey, you know who that fella is?"
I have often heard it said that "change is good."
In the last 70-plus years, I have found out that some promises of change backfire.
New ain't always better.
As soon as my daughter's broken leg heals, I'm gonna ask her if the "new" leg is an improvement over the old one.
I've been keeping track of the CNN storm that fell on Lancaster.
I know beach sand doesn't mix with frosty window panes and cold mornings, but bless Pete, I was ready for a change.
So when Uncle Harry mentioned riding to the coast, I was all for it. Uncle Harry's friend, Dr. Brown and his smoking buddy, Mr. Plyler, hatched the plan.
"Harry, you ought to take a few days off from lawyering and so something different," Dr. Brown said.
Holy smoke, at times, we do the stupidest things.
I just finished reading more bad news about those of us who are Lancaster.
Dangling a rambunctious child over a chained-up pit bull?
Nothing good ever comes from adults behaving like children. To hear of such things makes the real grown-ups really mad.
Seems like some folks need to grow up.

Whenever I'm playing a movie a few times pms crashes.
After about 3 times restarting pms the movie finally plays, this only happens when my latop is either been off or restarted,
because when i want to watch the next episode directly after it nothing goes wrong. But then, after about 5 minutes everything stops again, that is with every new episode or movie,
but now i can push the circle button to go back to the xmb and click on the movie again to resume playing, this happens every time, with all my movies and series.
Also, i cant rewind or go forth in the movie because pms crashes again. Then i need to watch the whole movie or serie again just because of that
I only have the basic settings so i haven't altered anything.
The only thing i did is to force mine LAN connexion on my Gigabit Ethernet NIC.
Everything is wired.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it can affect mood and energy level for the entire day. And the best way to start your day is Oatmeal. Oatmeal has long ranked among the best foods for fighting cholesterol. A single bowl of oatmeal provides all essential nutrients like complex carbohydrates, B vitamins, fiber, and minerals such as phosphorous, iron, selenium, and calcium.
The Oat (Avena sativa) was originally cultivated in southern Europe some 5000 years ago. Hippocrates wrote that oats made into porridge or gruel (a thin porridge) is refreshing and helps hydration. During wars, the Scottish soldiers use to carry a bag of oatmeal as a source of strength. They also believed that it could build and regenerate bones and ligaments.
We are all aware of the high fiber content of Oats but very few people know about the other benefits of Oats. These include:
Be sure that you have a bowl of oatmeal every morning. Your body will thank you for it!

without knowing more details (like, was it a surf zone or where swimmers permitted as well?), i think the surfer is on the hook for this one. it's all well and good to surf without a leash, but if your stick gets away from you and hits somebody who has as much right as you to be in that particular section of that water, it's on you. "punishable by law" is not quite accurate - the swimmer incurred medical bills and facial scars, so you're talking about redress, not punishment. i feel sorry for the surfer, but don't see how he could duck responsibility for the incident.
Surfer pays. At first I was thinking one takes a risk just by entering the water to either swim or surf... but when it says the board was not attached via surfboard leash... Surfer pays up.

No leash = you lose every time
Apr 24, 2013, 03:17 PM #6
if a surf-only zone then the lady. if not then the surfer.
I do remember reading a thread on here where a vacationing SUPer dropped in on a local and dinged his face and then went to the hospital with him and paid for his damages. I do wonder though as to where she was swimming though.
Wonder what would happen if he had a leash and it broke? Sue the company that makes the leash as well?
Your right on Fitz.
Surfing is a HAZARDOUS sport. The use of your surf board with a leash that is properly attached according to instructions found at www.npsurf.com is done at your own risk.
