Purchased a Ford Escape with new Ironman tires on it. They have lots of tread left but considering changing them for something that rides better and is quieter. Very noisy.

Bought this set in November. I've since driven them in loose snow, packed snow, slush, rain and dry conditions. They have performed admirably. a bit more noise at highway speeds but that's to be expected from an aggressive tread design, hardly noticeable. I'll have to see if I get the full 36 months wear out of them but I'm happy so far...

Last weekend's windy weather contributed to at least some of the city of Hannibal's four power outages.
According to the Board of Public Works, the first outage happened around noon Saturday. Customers on Pulliam lost service when a tree got into power lines. Service was restored in 40 minutes.
Three outages occurred Sunday.
A 40-minute service disruption happened on Lilly, Owens, Warren Barrett and Market because of a tree. The outage, which started at 10:50 a.m., lasted 40 minutes.
At 11:20 a.m. downed limbs caused an outage on Silver, Franklin and Bramblett. Power was off for 30 minutes.
Market, Hope and Chestnut were without electricity for 45 minutes. Weather was cited as the cause of the outage which lasted 45 minutes. The loss of service happened at 12:10 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Angel Pagan and Marco Scutaro exchanged text messages nearly every day over the past month, often discussing details about their ongoing contract negotiations with the Giants and others. The two veterans hoped they could return atop the Giants lineup but were realistic about the fluctuations of the market.
Pagan was seeking four years, and Scutaro, probably looking at his final contract, was simply looking for the best deal. In a span of a little over 24 hours earlier this week, the Giants hit both marks. Both players passed physicals Friday, making official a four-year, $40 million deal for Pagan and a three-year, $20 million contract for Scutaro.
"I know how successful it was," Pagan said of their first partnership together as the Giants' one and two hitters. "I told him, 'If you sign, I'll sign.' "
The order ended up being reversed.
Pagan, a free agent for the first time, said he a couple of other organizations made him good offers, but he was waiting for a team to come through with a fourth year. He hoped that team would be the Giants, where he became a fan favorite with his all-out style and production out of the leadoff spot and in center field, and where his wife made an immediate connection with the other players' wives.
Pagan, 31, was so fond of his first season in San Francisco that he bought the commemorative World Series DVD before the team could send out copies and said he has watched it five times already. When the Giants became the first team to go to a fourth year, Pagan jumped at the deal.
"I didn't hesitate," he said. "I thought we got what we deserved and we would be in the place we want to be."
Pagan was hoping Scutaro would find the same home, but the second baseman needed to let the market play out and wanted to avoid repeating a mistake he felt he made with his last contract. Scutaro signed a two-year deal with the Boston Red Sox before the 2010 season and said he passed up more money to play for a team he considered a winner.
"What I got was a bald head," he said. "And we didn't win anything."
Scutaro confirmed that the St. Louis Cardinals had offered him a two-year deal with a higher annual salary, but the Giants' offer became more lucrative when a third year was added. Scutaro, 37, will make $20 million on this deal after making $22.2 million total on all his previous big league deals.
"I know my age," Scutaro said. "I was looking for the best contract. This might be my last one. When (the Giants) made the best offer, it was very exciting."
Scutaro will return to his No. 2 spot in the order and hopes that he is healthy enough to be a full-time starter through all three years of his deal. He said he is aware that some might have doubts.
"You work hard to keep yourself in shape and you eat (right)," he said, proving that point by only occasionally picking at a fruit plate while talking to reporters in a room stocked with sandwiches and chips. "If I stay healthy, I can be a good player the next four years."
Pagan wasn't worried about the man hitting behind him, joking that Scutaro would easily pass his physical after proving that he could survive a vicious postseason collision with the Cardinals' Matt Holliday. Scutaro and Holliday almost became teammates before the Giants raised their offer to three years, and Scutaro joked that he was preparing for the possibility.
"I told them if they sign me, I would kick (Holliday's butt) every day," he said, smiling. "They probably thought, 'He'd better go to San Francisco.' "
On Friday, Pagan and Scutaro prepared to head back to the offseason, minds clear and happy for the chance to defend their World Series title together. Pagan, a huge boxing fan, was set to fly to Las Vegas to watch Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez fight Saturday. He also plans to represent his native Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic. Scutaro said he will spend the remainder of the offseason resting.
"It's better to save the bullets," he said.
Both men hope to start firing them soon enough.
"I want to be a champion once again," Pagan said. "And if it's possible, for four more years."

It seems like people are all the time making themselves themselves, but they don't really know it. You can only have true vision when you look behind. A person can slide so fast into being something they never really intended. I wonder if you can truly resurrect your own self.

Four Reasons Why It's Time to Short Tesla: Analyst
The party's over for Tesla bulls.
That's the call from Michael Purves, chief global strategist and head of equity derivatives research at Weeden & Co., who blasted a note to clients Wednesday saying it's time to start shorting Tesla Motors
While acknowledging the electric-car maker has been "a nightmare of a short this year" — shares are up more than 400% — Mr. Purves expects the stock's recent downside momentum could gain some steam in rapid fashion.
Short sellers borrow shares to sell them in hopes of buying them back at a later date, aiming to profit from price declines.
Shares recently fell more than 5% to $161. The stock has fallen 17% from the Sept. 30 record high of $194.50.
"The stock has become so divorced from fundamentals that the primary discussion needs to focus on technical analysis – which is now suggesting this year's rally is coming to an end," Mr. Purves says, "and that momentum is more likely exposed to the downside. While the broader tape has been bullish, this stock can drop quickly."
Here are four "technical considerations" Mr. Purves offers as reasons investors should consider when choosing to take a short position in Tesla. From Mr. Purves:
1. Uptrend Broken. Since the stock broke decisively higher in early May, it has maintained support at the 21 day [simple-moving average] for the minor corrections and the 45 day SMA for the more significant correction (e.g. July)…Both of these supports are now broken.
2. Head and Shoulders Established. A head and shoulders pattern is developing from August with the neckline just broken. (MoneyBeat note: Head-and-shoulders is a widely-known and recognizable chart pattern. It highlights a stock's strength in the left shoulder and the head, and the failure of the right shoulder to make a new high.)
3. Volume Higher on Down Days. As we have seen with other high momentum plays over the past few weeks, volume has been accelerating on down days. In general, volume has been picking up as the support levels discussed above have been broken.
4. Non-confirming RSI's. Daily [relative strength indexes] have been trending steadily downwards, not confirming the higher prices reached in early October. More ominously, the weekly RSI's have been treading steadily down from very overbought conditions and now are below 70. This pattern of non-confirming weekly RSI's was a key sell signal for Apple when it made its life time high in September 2012.
Mr. Purves offers a recommended options trade: "Use a November 16th $155/$135 put spread which currently costs $5.65."
Essentially, that means an investor could buy the Nov. $155 put, gaining the right to sell 100 shares at that price through the 15th of the month, and sell the $135 put to cut the cost. You would start to make money if the stock falls below $149.35 (the strike minus the cost).
Max profit would be $1,435 per contract.
If it falls below $155, but not below $149.35, you'd make back some of your premium, but still have a loss. Anything above $155, you lose the whole $5.65 premium ($565/contract).
Tesla is scheduled to report quarterly results Nov. 5.
–Kaitlyn Kiernan contributed to this report.
UPDATE: An earlier version of this post failed to take into account the differences in using a "put spread" as a pure short strategy versus a hedging strategy when the stock is already owned. A corrected version follows.

knittingnut - Disappointed
I love the color and the pattern, however it is not of good quality. I have had it about a year. It pills and is beginning to unravel at the edges This room does not have much "traffic".Read More

Nice looking rug, easy to wipe stains off, having two kids and a dog. have had it for 4 months yet still sheds, less but still sheds.Read More
Pretty - but hairy
We are happy with the look of the rug....but it sheds everywhere!!! I've vacuumed it a few times - but tiny carpet hairs (look like cat hairs but i don't have cats) are everywhere!!! I'll be vacumming daily - wonder what will be left of the rug by the end of the year...?! LOLRead More

Better Than Expected
As a designer, I'm always concerned that what I see online is what I get and I tend to rely heavily on detailed reviews when considering a product. I ordered this rug in the navy, and blues can be tricky. One review stated it was a royal navy and that gave me the confidence that it would work in my application. It was an accurate description of a beautiful, clean and pure navy blue, without a purplish or blue green cast. The design is classic, classy and attractive without overwhelming your room. As for shedding, it does, but not as much as many other wool rugs I've purchased in the past. Totally worthwhile in my opinion. Know yourself, however. If you'll go crazy seeing fuzzies on the rug till the initial stage passes, this may not be the choice for you. Would I buy it again? Absolutely.Read More
Amazing high-end style for great price
So, I have been searching for a rug for under my kitchen table forever. I have an anthropologie reclaimed table with white modern eames chairs. I had my heart set on a overdyed rug but with 3 kids (2 still in diapers) I wasn't about to spend thousands to have PB and J all over it. I took a chance on this after reading about it on many many many current design blogs which I follow. Its an amazing value and anchors the room very well with the bold pattern. And the thing I love most about it is it has a rubber backing so unlike many flatweaves which I bought and everyone slipped on, this stays well in place and i haven't even put a pad down yet. As for the color, yes it has a TINGE of steel blue in it in the sun but I would never ever call it a blue. It is a charcoal grey. It does not have a blackish cast to it which is maybe what others were expecting to have for charcoal. Oh and the white is not a true white but ivory white-- its NOT as dark as cream or yellowy like a cream so don't worry. It will work with whites. Looks very modern contemporary, awesome! I have lots of chevron and ikat patterns in the adjacent room. It looks very high end. For the price, if it only lasts a year or so given the abuse of toddlers spilling stuff, I will be more than pleased for the price. You won't be disappointed.Read More
Great rug for non-pet households
Bought this rug to upgrade our living room. It appears to be well made, pills a bit, but overall, was exactly what we were looking for. Got this on sale for somewhere in the $$$ range, so the price was right. What I wasn't anticipating was that this rug would get torn apart by my cat (she still has her claws). Unlike every other rug in the house, which must not have loops, and are machine made, this hand made rug can't withstand tugging claws. Loops pull, some completely out. I'm going to try to repair it, and move it to a less cat-travelled room, but within a couple of days of having it, it's really ruined. Doesn't stand up at all. So, if you don't have pets, I'd really recommend it. If you do, keep looking.Read More
Great Rug!!
I bought this rug in gray. Luckily, when I ordered it, I knew what to expect from other reviews which stated that the gray rug is actually a much lighter gray than it looks in the picture. This was definitely the case, as it looks black in the picture. It's a medium shade of gray, and the pattern is an ivory color (it looks more white in the picture). The rug was delivered within a few days of my order and, overall it's thick, heavy and very high quality. I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase!!Read More
Great Rug!
This is a gorgeous rug! I squealed with delight when it came, it was prettier than I hoped it would be. We have it in the sage green color, which is a nice neutral-that-isn't tan. It's very plush and feels wonderful underfoot. I bought it to go on the play side of our great room-our tiny house has an open floor plan and one part of it is dedicated to children's toys. I wanted something pleasing to the eyes of both kids and adults, and something we would all want to flop on for playtime. It's perfect for this purpose, with the added benefit that my three year old son uses the trellis print as a road for his trucks. The rug is quite a shedder. I've vacuumed it daily, and it collects massive pills that look awful and get everywhere. I expected that from a new wool rug at first. Now that we've had it for a couple of months the shedding has slowed way down. The rug only needs vacuuming every few days. I'd do that anyway with three kids under five! It also shows every spill, since it is such a simple design. I would buy it again even with these downsides.Read More
Questions & Answers
Is this rug still available in ivory (just ivory, not he blue and ivory)?
Is this 100% wool?
Yes this is 100% wool.
The rug called "emerald" looks more like sage ir olive in the picture...what is it like?
Hello, What is the color of the rug in the in the first image?
The first rug shown appears to be the Light Grey option. We try our best to represent products accurately, however, due to differences in displays and the subjective nature of colors, shades may vary slightly.
I am interested in the light blue rug with the ivory/white trellis. Is this the "blue" option? None of the color pictures are actually labeled "blue" so I am unsure. Also, is the pile looped? I find that looped piles get caught in pets claws and get pulled up from the rug. Thanks!
Red is an option, but not pictured. Can you tell me if it is cardinal red? I do not want a rust or burgundy.
It's a bright red.
I am interested in the khaki colour however by the title of the colour I would think it's on the green side. Is this correct, I am wanting neutral colour like ivory which it looks in the picture but not so sure. do you have another picture of khaki close up? thanks
I purchased the Khaki rug for my dining room. It's very neurtral. The trellis lines are ivory color and the background is beigy gray. It's a beautiful rug.
We bought blue. It turned out to be what the picture showed, light blue. That is what we wanted. A nice rug. Sam
I purchased the khaki rug as well to go with my Greys and ivories in the house and it fits perfectly. It's not green at all and definitely would go great with ivory and as a neutral color. Hope that helps! Only negative thing I have found is it does shed and if you sit on it little hairs will get on your clothing.
What color is pictured in the picture of the rug by the door?
You'll choose the Khaki option for the color that is pictured of the rug by the door.
It the back of this rug lined with fabric or a non-skid surface?
The back is fabric. However, it is a pretty heavy rug and has not moved around at all since I purchased it back in the fall of 2015

Health Information
How Can Diabetes Affect Bladder Control?
Over time, diabetes can damage the nerves that control the bladder. In both men and women, this can lead to an overactive bladder.
These are some of the symptoms of an overactive bladder:
Frequent urination — 8 or more times a day
The need to get up often at night to urinate
A sudden, strong urge to urinate
Leaking of urine after a sudden urge
An overactive bladder can be treated. Your health care provider may recommend exercises to strengthen the muscles that hold in urine. Electrical stimulation and medication may help treat it as well. For more severe cases, you may need surgery.
Neurogenic bladder is a less common condition caused by diabetes. People with this condition may lose the urge to urinate. They may be unable to empty the bladder completely and have frequent urinary tract infections. Medication, surgery, and behavior changes may be used to treat it.

Some of us wouldn't consider leaving home for a trip of any length without GPS assistance or a map. And then there are those among us who are happy to let the twists and turns and forks in the roads take us to destinations unknown.
I've been thinking a lot about reading maps and recipes lately because I see similarities between the way we travel and the way we cook. Some cooks prefer to follow recipes with the precision of a missile launch, while others are a tad more devil-may-care.
No doubt, we can chalk up our approaches to travel and cooking both to personality and experience. After all, you don't use a map to find your neighborhood grocery store, and you probably don't follow a recipe to make familiar dishes. When I make a pan of cornbread, I just pull out my century-old iron skillet, the cornmeal and other ingredients.
I suppose personality comes into play when we're making a new dish or traveling somewhere for the first time. My husband and I generally share a cooking edict: If you're trying a new recipe, you follow the instructions. We're both confident cooks, but we like to see what the recipe creator intended. If we think the dish has promise, we may fiddle with an ingredient or two the next time, but we almost always rely on the recipe that first time.
It is with some bemusement, then, that I often read the criticisms, er, comments that follow recipes online. Cooks will change multiple ingredients, cooking times and techniques, then complain that the recipe didn't turn out well.
Of course, there are times when you adjust for known variables or it's clear a recipe won't quite work as written. Oven temperatures vary notoriously, so we each must adjust for our oven's temperature. And I became quickly aware that I'd better be cautious when sharing any microwave-related recipe or preparation after the recent no-fail peanut brittle debacle. Several of you reported struggling with the recipe because the wattage in your microwave obviously varied from that of the person who submitted the recipe.
In general, I'm wondering how you handle new recipes.
Do you merrily substitute ingredients and change cooking techniques? Are you a stickler for following each step? And how do you handle the outcome if you do steer off course from the recipe?
Mini cakes
A while back, a reader wanted a recipe that works in a 6-inch cake pan. Marcia Rutz, who lives in Illinois, suggests a cookbook called "Small-Batch Baking" by Debby Maugans Nakos. "It has recipes for small cakes as well as cookies, muffins, cheesecakes, pies, etc.," Rutz says. "All the recipes are sized for just a few servings, and the ones I have tried worked well and were quite good."
Kelly Ross, of San Jose, suggests "Miette: Recipes from San Francisco's Most Charming Pastry Shop." Ross says the majority of cake recipes are baked in a 6-inch pan. Mary Lai says America's Test Kitchen's "Cooking for Two 2010" includes several recipes for cakes and other small desserts.
The reader with the 6-inch pan doesn't specify the pan's depth, which affects volume. I spent some time online investigating the relative volumes of pan sizes, but there was math involved and pi -- not the good kind -- and my head started hurting and I began to feel faint. I prefer the practical suggestion of seeing how many cups of water pans of varying sizes hold to understand volume.
Meanwhile, if you have a good ol' 9-inch square baking pan handy, Hannah Cahalan suggests you try a vintage Betty Crocker recipe for something called a dinette cake. "I have used the base and added ginger, nutmeg and allspice to make a small spice cake," she says.
This is a plain little cake that you can top with fresh fruit and whipped cream or chocolate frosting -- or eat out of hand.
Second helpings
Think you don't have time for meatloaf on busy weeknights? Mary Hebert Byler offers this hint after reading last week's meatloaf recipes: "The meatloaf recipes in the paper today were great, but if you want a 'meatloaf' on the table in 25 minutes, make the meatloaf recipe of your choice and roll into large balls. Place individual balls into a greased cupcake pan/tin, top with a mixture of ketchup or Worcestershire sauce -- or not -- and bake at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes."
Barbara Nebeker, of Concord, says she doesn't use an "official recipe" for her meatloaf, which usually includes ground turkey, ground pork sausage and her secret ingredient, raisins. "If I forget to use the secret ingredient, my husband is unhappy," she says. Use to taste, depending on your fondness for sweetness in a savory dish.

This toad appears to be a fan of star wars... or is it using blinders...? or does it have giant ears...? or what is that sticking out of its mouth!?
Without more information about this photo it can be difficult to guess how a ground-dwelling toad and a flying bat could ever cross paths, unless the bat had fallen.
My best guess? I have seen bats and toads use similar locations in the rainforest, just not at the same time. Both are known to use small holes along streamsides, so it's possible this bat decided to roost in a hole that was inhabited by a hungry toad, which after some difficulty swallowing took a walk to get its photo taken by Olaya.
We finally got in touch with Olaya. As was suggested by John Scanlon in a comment on a repost of this story on Why Evolution Is True, it appears the bat was flying a bit too close to the ground. Many bats will feed on insects flying near the ground or will glean insects that are actually on the ground (pallid bats in the US are a great example of the latter).
Olaya described the toad's success as "out of nowhere the bat just flew directly into the mouth of the toad, which almost seemed to be sitting with its mouth wide open." With toad-like reflexes, this cane toad was able to snatch the unsuspecting bat right out of the air as it flew too close to the ground, and apparently directly at the toad's awaiting mouth.
So, did the toad finally get those wings in its mouth? According to Olaya, no. The toad finally gave up and spat it out. While Olaya at first thought the bat was dead, he said it slowly recovered and was able to fly away. I'm sure it won't make that mistake again.
Update: Sept 24 5:00pm
We were sent a paper which describes a related toad feeding on a bat, which you can find (with images) here.

State Senate shows support for Houma business conference
Published: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.
The state Senate today proclaimed the week of June 17-21 as "Louisiana Entrepreneurship Week."
Introduced by Sen. Bret Allain, R-Jeanerette, Senate Resolution 94 recognizes the statewide economic importance of the upcoming Louisiana Entrepreneurship Fest: For Youth and First-Time Entrepreneurs. The conference is scheduled for June 20-21 at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
"We are especially excited that the first Louisiana Entrepreneurship Fest will be held in our district," said Michael Tamporello, legislative aide for Allain. "Entrepreneurship is the driving force for local business as well as the statewide economy, and we are certain that this event will be a huge success."
Steve Vassallo, chief executive officer of the Terrebonne Economic Development Agency, asked for the proclamation.
"I am delighted that our elected leaders have declared their support for the fest, and we look forward to teaching and inspiring our state's future business leaders this summer," Vassallo said.
The festival, which will offer training and expert advice for young people interested in starting businesses, is spearheaded by Louisiana Economic Development and TEDA.

SANTA CLARA -- As he did so often during a standout collegiate career, rookie linebacker Chris Borland on Tuesday read the play well, was in proper position and made a big play.
In this case, Borland intercepted a pass. However, he still has plenty of growing to do before he succeeds in the NFL as well as he did at Wisconsin, when he was a four-year All-conference player and 2013 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
"He's not being tentative, he's not sure what he's seeing all the time," 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said about Borland's overall play so far. "He's got really good instincts but sometimes his instincts take him to a play and aborting his own assignment. He's gotten burned on that a few times."
Overall, though, Borland is displaying many of the positive traits that he displayed on a game-to-game basis at Wisconsin.
During his time with the Badgers, Borland earned a reputation for being around the ball, dissecting plays with ease and making big plays.
He recorded at least 100 tackles three straight seasons and forced a Big Ten-record 15 fumbles in his career.
The 49ers are looking at Borland, a third-round draft pick, as a potential fill-in for regular starter NaVorro Bowman -- who is expected to miss the first half of the season while he recovers from knee surgery -- though Borland is only one of several in the running.
If he keeps progressing, it's not a stretch to envision Borland carving out playing time, if not a starting job in Bowman's absence.
"He's got to learn that the line is tighter in the NFL to be instinctive and abort your assignment, go make a play, than to stay with your assignment," Fangio said. "That just comes through repetition from playing and going against quality offenses, quality quarterbacks."

Best Cities for Your Second Act
To identify the Best Cities for Your Second Act, Kiplinger teamed up with Kevin Stolarick, research director at the Martin Prosperity Institute, a think tank that studies economic prosperity. All of the cities on our list have reasonable living costs, strong employment growth and a population that scores high on measures of education and tech-savviness. For second acts, we also factored in the number of golf courses as well as the number of artists and musicians.
The cost-of-living index measures how expensive it is to live in a city; the national average score is 100. That means cities with a score below 100 have a lower-than-average cost of living. Nationwide, the median household income is $43,024, and median income growth from 2006 to 2011 was 11.1%. The national unemployment rate is 8.2%.

8.2-26 Possession of Assault Weapon -- § 53-202c
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with possession of an assault weapon. The statute defining this offense imposes punishment on any person who, within this state, possesses any assault weapon.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt the following elements:
Element 1 - Possessed assault
The first element is that the defendant knowingly possessed an assault weapon. "Assault weapon" is defined by statute and includes <insert type of assault weapon>.1
"Possession" means either actual possession or constructive possession. Actual possession means actual physical possession, such as having the object on one's person. Constructive possession means having the object in a place under one's dominion and control.
Possession also requires that the defendant knew that (he/she) was in possession of the firearm. That is, that (he/she) was aware that (he/she) was in possession of it and was aware of its nature. The state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knew that (he/she) was in possession of the firearm. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.>
<If some form of constructive possession is alleged, see Possession, Instruction 2.11-1.>2
Element 2 - Within Connecticut
The second element is that the possession took place within the state of Connecticut. The state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the assault weapon was physically located within Connecticut at the time the defendant possessed it.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant possessed an assault weapon within the state of Connecticut.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the possession of an
assault weapon, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if
you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
1 The term assault weapon is defined in § 53-202b to include specifically listed models of firearms as well as firearms not specifically listed that have certain characteristics. The instruction should be tailored to the type of assault weapon alleged in the case.
2 Ascertain from counsel what form of possession is alleged. The definition should be narrowly tailored to the allegations.
See General Statutes § 53-202c (b)
for exceptions to culpability. "[W]here exceptions to a prohibition in a
criminal statute are situated separately from the enacting clause, the
exceptions are to be proven by the defense." (Internal quotation marks
omitted.) State v. Valinski, 254 Conn. 107, 123 (2000) (rule also
applies when the exception is found in a separate statute).

16 Opinions
Any chance we could fix this app name: µTorrent
Appears with a spurious  in Chrome for some reason.
I just recently acquired a mac, and i was a dedicated user of uTorrent for Windows. I have seen articles on Transmission and a lot of people swear by it, but uTorrent is excellent and definitely a viable alternative!
Awesome application. I totally understand that people love Transmissons gui but utorrent just works better for me and the Mac. Transmission has some bad performance issues when it comes to a lot of peers and download speed (Snow Leopard problem?).
Is there a way to limit bandwidth per torrent yet or do I have to wait for one of the next releases? Couldn't find a way to do it.
Finally!!! utorrent was the only reason for me to use Parallels because no Mac client was as fast as this one. Now I don't need Parallels anymore. Woohoo!
Transmission has a better user interface, handling, stability, etc, BUT uTorrent give me faster downloads. Probably is because DHT. Wish Transmission implement that in future versions.
Transmission is far better than this is right now
As of 0.9.0.4 it's looking very promising, but is still quite buggy. I've been playing with it, but if you regularly use BitTorrent then I'd suggest going with something more stable and less quirky for now.
It's working much better now. A bit disappointing that you can't select a download location yet, but removing files and torrents work, as well as throttling download / upload rates. And it does seem to connect to peers and sources a lot faster than Transmission. It's looking promising.
Now you have an official beta - go for testing!

What does Folic Acid do?
Folic Acid is B Vitamin and functions in a fashion similar to that of Vitamin B12. It aids in red blood cell production' and helps break-down and utilize protein. It is essential for DNA & RNA synthesis and thus important for healthy cell division and replication. For expectant mothers' it helps prevent neural tube defects*. Folic Acid helps to protect us from heart disease* because it helps to reduce concentration of artery clogging amino acid' homocysteine. It works synergistically with B12.
Who should consider this formula?
Folic Acid supplementation is essential for all women of child bearing age. It supports heart health as an antagonist to artery-clogging amino acid' homocysteine. Folic Acid may have additional applications for: cervical health' mental health/acuity' oral hygiene.
Why is Folixor® a better folic acid supplement?
Intensive Nutrition's Folixor® formulas are under-the-tongue' meaning that they are absorbed bucally. Generally' buccal absorption is superior because it ensures maximum absorption. Folixor® also contains folinic acid' the "body ready" form of folic acid which means that it is more bioavailable or better absorbed than basic folate. Folixor® contains adjuvants Vitamin C' Vitamin B12 and Leucine which support folate activity.
What about 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate? Why is this not in Folixor®?
Methyl-tetrahydrofolate is the most bioavailable form of folate' however' there are several studies which indicate that the action of 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate is not superior to that of folic acid' in fact they seem to work just as well as each other. In addition' certain genotypes seem to prefer folic acid to methyl. As folic acid and folinic is considerably less expensive than 5-methyl but just as if not more effective when delivered bucally' we therefore use folic acid and folinic acid to make Folixor® cost-effective and affordable for our customers.

Fantastic !!
I have been taking folic acid for my myasthenia gravis auto-immune disease for the past 5 years. I have been instructed to take 10 mg each day for the illness. Up until I found PureFormulas I had to buy the folic acid in .5 mg tablets. Needless to say I had to take 20 pills each day to meet my requirements. With PureFormulas I am able to purchase Folixor Sublingual Folic Acid 10mg Tablets by Intensive Nutrition and have to only take ONE each day.

A metastatic brain tumor is cancer that started in another part of the body and spread to the brain.
Brain tumor - metastatic (secondary); Cancer - brain tumor (metastatic)
Many tumor or cancer types can spread to the brain. The most common are:
Some types of cancer rarely spread to the brain, such as colon cancer and prostate cancer. In other rare cases, a tumor can spread to the brain from an unknown location. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin.
Growing brain tumors can place pressure on nearby parts of the brain. Brain swelling due to these tumors also causes increased pressure within the skull.
Brain tumors that spread are classified based on the location of the tumor in the brain, the type of tissue involved, the original location of the tumor, and other factors. In rare cases, doctors do not know the original location. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin.
Metastatic brain tumors occur in about one-fourth (25%) of all cancers that spread through the body. They are much more common than primary brain tumors (tumors that start in the brain).
Symptoms may include any of the following:
Specific symptoms vary. The symptoms commonly seen with most types of metastatic brain tumor are those caused by increased pressure in the brain.
A neurologic examination can show brain and nervous system changes based on where the tumor is in the brain. Signs of increased pressure in the skull are also common. Some tumors may not show signs until they are very large. Then, they can cause a very quick decline in nervous system function.
The original (primary) tumor may be found by examining tumor tissues from the brain.
Tests may include:
Treatment depends on the size and type of the tumor, from where in the body it spread, and the patient's general health. The goals of treatment may be to relieve symptoms, improve functioning, or provide comfort.
Radiation to the whole brain is often used to treat tumors that have spread to the brain, especially if there is more than one tumor.
Surgery may be used when there is a single tumor and the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body. Some tumors may be completely removed. Tumors that are deep or that extend into brain tissue may be reduced in size (debulked).
Surgery may reduce pressure and relieve symptoms in cases when the tumor cannot be removed.
Chemotherapy for metastatic brain tumors is usually not as helpful as surgery or radiation. Some types of tumors, though, do respond to chemotherapy.
Stereotactic radiosurgery may also be used. This form of radiation therapy focuses high-power x-rays on a small area of the brain.
Medicines for brain tumor symptoms include:
When the cancer has spread, treatment may focus on relieving pain and other symptoms. This is called palliative or supportive care.
Comfort measures, safety measures, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other treatments may improve the patient's quality of life. Some people may want to seek legal advice to help them create an advance directive and power of attorney for health care.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group. Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
For many people with metastatic brain tumors, the cancer is not curable. It will eventually spread to other areas of the body. Prognosis depends on the type of tumor and how it responds to treatment.

PHOENIX -- As Bruce Bochy addressed the media before Monday's season opener at Chase Field, Tim Lincecum headed out to shag fly balls in the outfield. Bochy's eyes lit up.
"I just saw Timmy jump up the steps," Bochy said, smiling. "He's doing alright."
Lincecum is on track to start Thursday, less than a week after he took a line drive off his left leg. The right-hander continues to receive treatment from trainers but hasn't had any issues. All that remains from the scare is a bruise.
"It's healing though," Lincecum said. "As of right now, I'm on pace to make that day."
Lincecum planned to ride an exercise bike Monday and then run and throw a bullpen session on Tuesday. He wasn't the only Giant to avoid a long-term injury recently; left-hander Jeremy Affeldt (sprained right MCL) is throwing at the club's facility in Scottsdale and should be ready to come off the disabled list when the Giants return to San Francisco next week.
One Giant remains on the shelf indefinitely. Second baseman Marco Scutaro has been rehabbing a back injury at the club's minor league facility but he has not yet played in a minor league camp game. Bochy said Scutaro remains "a ways away" from returning. Scutaro had more medical injections (three) than at-bats (two) during spring training.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Beefed-up security in response to last month's Boston Marathon bombings didn't deter tens of thousands from reveling in San Francisco's most spirited footrace Sunday.
Berkeley resident Kenneth Prochnow, 62, ran his 28th Bay to Breakers wearing a "Boston Strong" T-shirt, one of many that could be spotted in the sea of colorful costumes and birthday suits.
"I wanted to show solidarity with folks in Boston," Prochnow said. "This is a country that looks to the future, and the terrorists are not going to win."
There were more than 30,000 registered participants -- slightly down from last year -- at this year's sun-soaked 102nd Bay to Breakers, and thousands more who joined in the fun without an official race bib.
Among the costumes were more than one naked Batman, dozens of people to answer the question "Where's Waldo?" and a Jamaican bobsled team. As usual, there were house parties up and down Fell Street, and bands entertained the masses throughout the 7.46-mile course. At the finish line at Ocean Beach, racers cooled off in the Pacific breakers for which the race is named.
Tolossa Gedefa Fufi, 21, of Ethiopia, was the fastest male runner this year, zipping through in 35 minutes and 1 second, according to race organizers. American Olympian Ryan Hall came in second with a time of 35 minutes and 40 seconds.
The first female runner to cross the finish line was Diane Nukuri-Johnson, of Burundi, who finished in 40 minutes and 12 seconds. The second-place female runner, Adrienne Herzong of the Netherlands, came in at 40 minutes and 42 seconds.
"Coming off of an eighth-place finish at the recent Boston Marathon, and placing second at the 2012 Bay to Breakers, I am thrilled to take first place at Bay to Breakers this year," Nukuri-Johnson said in a news release.
Though Boston was on many minds, people said the April 15 bombings that killed three and injured more than 260 did not make them hesitate to attend Bay to Breakers this year.
"I didn't give it a second thought," said spectator Molly Plath. The 33-year-old Oakland resident was at a Boston bar about a mile from the finish line when the bombs went off. Her fiance David Kyle finished the Boston Marathon more than an hour before chaos broke and was an early finisher at Bay to Breakers on Sunday.
"I think you can't let things like that terrify you to the point where you can't live your life or celebrate your city," Plath said.
Many runners said they were cognizant of the increased security presence. Professional triathlete Caroline Gregory, of Walnut Creek, said she had never before seen police escorts for the elite runners like herself. Regardless, she wasn't worried about terrorism.
"What are the chances?" Gregory said. "The chances were slim for one racing event, let alone two."
The San Francisco Police Department reported no major incidents at the race, or at the Amgen Tour of California professional cycling event, the final stage of which started in San Francisco on Sunday. At 12:40 p.m., police reported 14 people being treated at the Police Department's so-called "sobering tents," and another 13 who had been taken to County Jail for public intoxication.
The eighth leg of the Amgen Tour of California, which started at Marina Green, also went off smoothly, according to Kristin Bachochin, the tour's executive director and the senior vice president of AEG Sports, which also owns Bay to Breakers.
"Overall safety is first and foremost with us," Bachochin said. "Regardless of what happened in Boston, people always need to be alert" at big public events.
Alcohol and ice chests have been banned for several years, but it didn't stop people from partaking at the event celebrated for its party atmosphere. But this year's ban on backpacks and large bags definitely restricted how much alcohol people could take along.
Members of the Walnut Creek Police Department bomb squad were among the bomb technicians from as far as Yolo County watching out for abandoned bags and other suspicious activity for the first time this year.
"There's an understanding in the bomb squad community that when something big like this going on, we have to come together," said Walnut Creek police reserve Capt. Chris Flath. "There's only 435 bomb squads in the country, so any big event, you really need to draw from mutual resources.
"It's been a lot of sitting around," Flath said.
Some veteran Bay to Breakers runners said there was something different about this year's race, besides the increased security, but they couldn't conclude exactly what.
"Seems like less people watching on the sidelines," said San Franciscan Steve Garza, with longtime friends from UC Davis dressed like 1950s milkmen, but wearing cow-printed Speedos instead of slacks. "There's always naked men, but not enough naked women."

STOCKTON - Community Response Team officers were assisting the U.S. Marshal's Task Force with surveillance in the 8400 block of Kelley Drive when they spotted a vehicle matching the description of one that was involved in a shooting moments earlier, authorities said.
As Community Response Team officers approached two men in the vehicle, one fled on foot and discarded a handgun before being apprehended, police said. The second man entered a home on Kelley Drive but was later taken into custody.
While investigating, officers found that a duffel bag containing an assault rifle and a stolen handgun had been tossed out of an upstairs bedroom window, police said. Officers also found a bulletproof vest and methamphetamine, authorities said.
Michael Latin, 26, was arrested on suspicion of unlawful firearms possession and resisting arrest, police said. Joshua Williams, 21, and William Davis, 22, were arrested on suspicion of gun and drug possession, authorities said.

In the third installment of our Holiday Gift Guide, Senior Marketing Manager Michael Salamanca recommends an American made gift that will stay classic for years. Read our other gift ideas here.
If the man in your life has been very good and you're looking to boost his style profile, I recommend the Hart Schaffner Marx 125th Anniversary Glen Plaid Suit. A three-piece suit is one of the most versatile items a man can own. Worn all together, some might confuse him with James Bond. Remove the vest, and he has a less formal yet equally elegant two-piece suit. Take off the jacket and he has a sharp look that's appropriate for the office as well as a night out on the town. We even suggest pairing the vest with jeans and a jacket in How to Wear It: The Three Piece Suit.
The Hart Schaffner Marx 125th Anniversary glen plaid three-piece suit is classic in style yet modern in shape. The fabric is sourced from one of Italy's finest mills. It features a trimmer silhouette, shorter overall length, higher armholes and narrower lapels for a cleaner, more modern look and feel. Lastly, it's made in the USA — in Chicago, to be exact — as it has been for 125 years. Great style, quality and craftsmanship — it's a gift he'll treasure for many years to come.
The notch lapel version of the suit is available at hartschaffnermarx.com. A peak lapel version can be found at Nordstrom.com.

About Ulwazi
The Ulwazi Programme is the first digital library in South Africa aimed at collecting and sharing indigenous knowledge and local history and culture. The programme is a project of eThekwini Municipality Libraries and Heritage Department which is managed by AdNotes Digital and aims to address the needs of the previously under-represented majority by providing a portal for local contemporary histories and culture.
According to SovTech; Africa is the fast growing mobile market in the world over the next 5 years with 775m subscribers growing at 30% annually and 170m people With Internet Access. The Province of KwaZulu-Natal is one of the leading Provinces with a rich cultural heritage in the Republic of South Africa and culture is very close to eThekwini Municipality's heart. This makes Ulwazi Programme a great platform to showcase the diversity of eThekwini cultures while simultaneously show our unity as one people and one nation.
How Does It Work?
As the website can be edited by multiple users it has somewhat of an unusual structure. When you look at this page, for example, you will notice that there are two tabs: one for the content as it's been published and one for the 'source' of the content, which can be added to and revised by people who are registered 'users', in this case the fieldworkers.
When you click on the different tabs you may also notice that the content is not laid out as it is on most websites. The structure of the information is similar to how it would it appear in a library cataloging system, such as the Dewey Decimal System. Content is arranged by categories and subcategories, with links to stories or 'pages' for each category, as well as links to any audio visual material relating to the particular category. The website in essence acts as a catalogue of sorts for different topics relating to local knowledge and histories.
How Can You Contribute?
Ulwazi is now open to contributions from the general public, all contributions will be analyzed and scrutinized by our subject experts before we publish them. Should you have a particular interest in local history and would like to contribute to the Ulwazi Programme please contact us via firstname.lastname@example.com and we will gladly accept your material. Please also feel free to make comments or ask questions regarding any of the stories and we will try to answer you as best we can.

"We bring the research of the university to the people in a fun, interactive atmosphere, with physical activity and socialization. And it's a great opportunity for rural Iowa to participate," said extension specialist Barb Fuller, who coordinates the LIFE program in Corning.
ISU Extension and Outreach programs for health and well-being are designed to help Iowa become the healthiest state in the nation. Iowa State researchers are evaluating the LIFE program in 21 rural Iowa counties with funding from the Rural Health and Safety Education Competitive Program of the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
Iowa State began this project because physical inactivity among older adults is a growing public health issue, said Sarah Francis, an assistant professor and ISU Extension and Outreach state nutrition specialist.
"If we don't address this issue, as the Baby Boomers age we're going to see more chronic disease and disability in older Iowans — which translates into lower quality of life and increased health care costs," Francis said.
"Research has shown that exergaming is effective in improving quality of life and reducing symptoms of depression in older adults. However, what really makes the LIFE program special is the interaction between the younger and older adults," Francis said.
Blaine Williams is a LIFE volunteer trainer and high school student in Corning. The LIFE program "gives me the opportunity to talk to older people and to share their experiences and have fun with them, and it gives me the chance to work on my teaching abilities," Williams said.
LIFE participant Carol Cooney said the young trainers "make us feel important. They make us feel like we can do anything."
Russell Hein, the LIFE Fitness Trainer at Alegent Creighton Health Wellness Center, appreciates the abilities of the older participants. "What I like best about the LIFE program is seeing their faces when they achieve something," he said.
"I hear more people say as they walk out of here, 'Thanks, that was a great day. I didn't know I could do that,'" Hein said. "If I can give them a little bit something more, that makes me want to do my best for them."
According to LIFE participant Marilyn Shellenberg, "It's great companionship, it's great exercise, it's not hard on your body. It is fun."
The LIFE program has the potential to be a low-cost, community-based approach that promotes older adult health while connecting generations within society, Francis continued. The program is an example of community engagement and service learning. It meets a community need — helping older adults become more active — while offering students the opportunity to become more engaged as citizens as they serve in Iowa communities.
In addition to Francis, the Iowa State research team includes Jennifer Margrett, an associate professor in human development and family studies and director of the ISU Gerontology Program; Warren Franke, a professor in kinesiology; and ISU Extension nutrition and health program specialists throughout the state.

I've been running for about 6 months now and just finished my second 5K. I'm now working on the 10K!
Since I started running, I have pretty much abandoned any other workout routines and I want to get back into that. My question is about WHEN I should be mixing in the workouts.
I generally run on Mon, Wed and Fri. Am I better off doing the weight training on the same days (so that I have a day of true rest in between) or should I be doing the weight training on the non-running days? Just a little confused on how much to push/rest the body. Don't want my 42 year old body breaking down on me....
I'd appreciate any thoughts!
Hi Larry,
It sounds like Tuesdays and Thursdays might work for your cross-training days and then you would still have a scheduled rest day over the weekend. It really depends on your schedule, and what works best for your personal conditioning, so if you prefer to take a break during the week, then just add a weight-lifting day on Saturday or Sunday.
Best of luck on your 10k training and if you have the opportunity to get in some additional 5ks or 8k races in advance of the 10k, that might be of assistance to better prepare.
Thanks for the reply. So it sounds like pretty much any days EXCEPT the running days- if I am understanding you correctly. I've got one more 5K scheduled for mid-March, then hoping to try a 10k in late April.
Others may have different advice Larry, and I think it is certainly okay to do other cross-training on running days, depending on your personal fitness level, time constraints and so on. I was just encouraging a regular, daily balance of activity that might best meet your needs and training goals based on the Mon. Wed. Friday routine that you mentioned. I do something every day, but it is important to listen to your body in terms of rest periods.
The only other thing I can think of is your distance training, so maybe choose one of your three running days to work on that. If you are racing on a Saturday, I would say push out the miles on the Wednesday prior, for example. (Tuesday would be better for a Saturday race and Wednesday for a Sunday event), but again the level of intensity depends on your individual circumstances and expectations.
Hope this helps to clarify and best wishes!
I would try cross training, possibly with a trainer? I have done this a few times and they really have some good advice to help you stay healthy and in top shape. Acceleration North is currently doing an adult fitness program and you can get 5 sessions with a trainer for $29 total on living social. Cross training is very important to build on strength and this could really help (ive done it). http://www.livingsocial.com/cities/226/deals/262784-five-adult-ax-fitness-boot-camp-classes

Star Style: Fall 2012 Celebrity Sightings
Take a cue from this model at Vivienne Westwood. Her imperfect white makeup, updo, crown, and ghostly puff-sleeved gown lend a fresh (yet corpse-like) twist on the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland.
Another Vivienne Westwood costume inspiration we just had to include: Spooky Little Red Riding Hood. All you need to recreate this one is an oversized red scarf and think pink ribbon to cinch it around your neck, giving it that hooded effect. Red matching shoes? Optional.
