You ate your weight in holiday goodies, but that was OK because you vowed to start exercising in the new year. But it's been so cold. So you say you'll start running outside in just a few weeks, when the weather gets better. Didn't you say that last year, before all that barbecue and beer got in your way?
Meanwhile, your weight keeps on doing a Jackie Wilson impression … going higher and higher.
If you're ready to stop kidding yourself and get moving, the gym membership cries out for you, and never quite as loudly as it calls in Western New York right now. Well over a dozen fitness chains clamor for your attention, along with dozens of local health studios and hundreds of personal trainers.
But how are you going to find the best fit for you?
"People need to find a place where they feel comfortable and are going to participate," says Karen Hughes, Catholic Health director of outpatient rehab and sports outreach. "That definition for each person is a little bit different."
Some may want to work on cardio equipment only, and want it available anytime, even overnight. Some like group activities and classes. For others, "if they don't have an appointment with a personal trainer, they're never going to go," Hughes says.
It's important to weigh several factors as you prepare to start looking for a fitness plan that suits your needs:
1. Atmosphere: "When you walk into a place, you want to feel like you belong," says Mary Anne Cappellino, wellness director of the Buffalo Athletic Club (BAC). Someone new to the gym experience may want to avoid a club where the staff and most patrons look like power-lifting hulks; for others, that's the perfect spot.
2. Location: A fitness site should be near home or along the way to other important destinations. This is one of the most important considerations because convenience saves time, Cappellino says, "and you don't have time to not exercise."
3. Try it out: Ask a club to use its facilities free for a short time. LA Fitness – a new force on the regional gym scene – allows visitors to its website to download a free two-week membership for themselves and a friend. Other gyms offer attractive discounts for two or three months at their facilities, and fitness studios and boutiques often sell a package of several classes at a discount rate.
4. Sharpen your pencil: Cost is one key to fitness, and the bottom line can be elusive. Is there an upfront enrollment fee? Extra fees for classes or child care? Is there a minimum term? Is a fitness trainer eager to sign you up for a one- or two-year commitment 10 minutes after you first walk in? Sometimes that means a lower cost – but not if you stop using a gym. And do the math. If your club has 10,000 members and 15 trainers, you're not likely to get lots of face time.
5. Insurance: Check your health insurance plan; many cover at least part of gym membership costs.
6. Programs: "Classes are huge," says Cappellino, who estimates 90 percent of those who join the BAC do so because of the classes offered. Make sure those you want to take are offered at times that fit into your schedule, and if the cost of those classes is included in the cost of your membership.
7. Friends and benefits: Go with a buddy. Hughes says you will push each other to keep your exercise commitments.
8. Equipment and cleanliness: LA Fitness in Clarence and Buffalo, and the new Independent Health Family Branch YMCA in Amherst, have the upper hand here because they've opened most recently. Some of the budget gyms and studios have modest showers, or none at all. Know if you can live with that. Look closely at the equipment as you take a tour. Ask how often equipment gets changed out.
9. Child care: For some, this doesn't matter, but for parents, a gym without child care can be a deal breaker.
10. Hours: Some budget-conscious gyms – including World Gym and Anytime Fitness – stay open for 24 hours. When looking at a gym schedule, remember to ask about weekend and holiday hours, especially if those times will work well for your workouts.
Hughes reminds people bent on improving their health through fitness to check with their doctor before starting any exercise program. And if you can't afford to join a gym right now, she urges, just do something.

"Sh*t Apple Fanatics Say" videos are pretty spot on
0. phoneArena 07 Sep 2012, 15:45 posted on
Although, we're not sure that we'd say the statements in the videos would cover what an Apple fanatic would actually say, because we see far worse in our comments sections, but the videos are still pretty solid. We can only wait until the same treatment is given to Android fans...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
Lol.... Gotta admit that was pretty funny
2. sgtdisturbed47 (Posts: 555; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
Althought the "things that were said" were pretty humorous, and stereotypically enhanced (regarding Mac users), I'd say the skit was a little over the top.
This is going to start a huge "iPhone vs Android" fight, so I'll just say a few things before it starts.
We can stereotype any set of users based on what we see in marketting or movies or poorly-made YouTube videos. "Mac vs PC" was one of the best battle-starting ads I've seen, but it was executed without resorting to childish bashings. Facts were presented, and humor was piled on to lighten it up.
We can also stereotype Android users. Based on the customers I deal with daily, I can draw up and present an image of an Android user. These customers want to customize, but complain about how unresponsive and unreliable the phone is. "Mine can multitask." "Mine can fold space and time with the speed of 4G". "My phone can be customized to make it MINE." "My contacts dissapeared." "My apps dissapeared." "My phone keeps locking up". "I can't connect to the internet".
I hear it all day.

good point bud. There are pros and cons to both os's.
58. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Yeah the videos were barely 'ok', though I did laugh a couple of times, especially with the 'Macs NEVER get viruses....okay it got infected by Trojan once...'
As for android fans....
"My phone can be customized to make it MINE."
- this one kills me the most cause its so over the top.
I love how literally for years, after any android device is released the fanatics say "This phone has zero lag!" and then Google goes ahead and releases project butter...classic
76. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
high end phones dont have lag. project butter was designed to make it even nicer. There is a big difference between no lag and crazy smooth. Besides, project butter helps more with the "non high end" handsets than anything.
Were you the guy in the video?
88. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
If project butter was for the non-high end handsets, why was Google showcasing all the MAJOR improvements you would see in the Galaxy Nexus? The Nexus is not a flagship device, but it's definitely not low-end either. And haven't people said that if Project Butter was the only feature in jellybean, it would still be well worth the update? Seems like we're talking about more than just low-end smartphones and a small speed bump.
Was I the guy in the video? Didn't you film this yourself? You should already know the answer is No.
92. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
The point of me asking if you were the guy in the video is because you are acting like that fanboy. Find the humor in it instead of being so defensive.
The galaxy nexus uses an outdated OMAP4 chip that you will probably never see in another phone again. On a pure tech term its a lower-middle end phone.
And of course they show it on their Nexus device, thats the whole darn point of the nexus is to be direct updates through google. So no, its an upgrade for the whole ecosystem. The biggest benefits will be to the lower end handsets that will greatly benefit from "butter" much more so than the nicer handsets.
And again, who cares. Nice sets were already lag free. Adding FPS to the animations just makes it nicer. There is a difference between "lag free animation' and "high FPS animation". Butter just takes it from the former to the latter.
93. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Well, lower end or not, it didn't stop Android users from saying the Galaxy Nexus "has zero lag" when it released (which by the way is/was completely false). Don't say it doesn't lag if it clearly does. And If lower end phones were the main target, they could have used the Nexus S 4G to showcase project butter, it is being updated to Jellybean after-all.
Yeah I got the point of your joke, did you get the point of mine? And I'm not acting the same as the guy in the vid. I'm not talking about Apple, iPhones, 4G/LTE, viruses, or any of that. I was just talking about lag and the sh*t android users say. Try not to be so defensive.
77. pkiran1996 (Posts: 166; Member since: 22 Oct 2011)
It's because only the stock android had lag prior to Jellybean. Phones such as the Galaxy S2 really don't have lag because the OEM has made it that way by using / adding different hardware such as graphics acceleration.
80. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Ipad's resource intensive app also have lag. Apple fan are really silly if they can't tell that lag happens when resource intensive app run on slower hardware.
86. bobnnate (Posts: 25; Member since: 28 Aug 2011)
just like how apple reinvents itself every time right?
59. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
Android is still better, though.
85. DFranch (Posts: 206; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
When talking about the Mac vs. PC adds, I don't think you can say "facts were presented". Maybe if you change "presented" to "distorted" that would be a fair statement. That said, they were usually funny.
3. Jay_F (Posts: 236; Member since: 29 Nov 2011)
An article who's sole purpose is a flame war. How wonderful.
15. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Actually the point is to get everyone to laugh together, rather than fight. I've just lost hope that fanboys can ever be respectful humans.
It is possible to laugh and not start a flame war, but that's on you guys.
28. Droiddoes (unregistered)
So you decided to fan the flames huh? Brilliant.
31. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Learn to laugh at yourselves instead of starting fights.
The videos are funny, that's all there is to it.
34. ftyler223 (Posts: 140; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
Good point boss. So true
78. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)

68. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I don't know. Flame war starts when people just don't want to laugh.
Anyways, this is funny one Michael. HAHAHAHAHA
I hope there's for android and wp fans :)))

I like to make fun of apple fanatics but that was weak and not funny
63. 305Bucko (Posts: 506; Member since: 07 Aug 2011)
Its american humor. You wouldnt know. If you cant laugh at this, you were tragically born without a sense of humor.
71. denied911 (banned) (Posts: 361; Member since: 31 May 2012)
and your text is much funnier than this clips
you are like one really big joke for me so I think I have sense of humor

It's funny because it's true

The oldest apple excuse in the book "It doesnt have viruses"

I love apple and these videos make me laugh. All of us fanboys,be it apple, android, windows phone, or blackberry can get a little crazy at times and nobody can deny it. People just need to lighten up :)
30. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)

good article for a Friday. it was funny and I have said some stuff in there.. not going to say which..
54. kingpet13 (Posts: 139; Member since: 02 Feb 2012)
I knew you were a major fanboy. :P JK. I'm glad that you admit that you say that stuff. I can't wait to see how much of the stuff that I said when the android one comes out. I've probably said most of the ones they think of.

37. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
From everything I see in the web the Android fans are the worst fans. In terms of commenting about Apple.
39. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
The videos are still funny. And yes I love Apple, Google and Samsung.
38. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I laughed at this one, and I know I'll laugh if they do an Android fanboy video as well.
I mean, let's face it, we all go nuts here. Some worse than others, sure, but these are products we're passionate about. No shame in that.
*obligatory fanboy statement*
Though there IS shame in owning everything Apple. ZING ZING ZING!
41. luxzy801 (Posts: 140; Member since: 16 Jun 2010)
I hope they make an Android fanboy video too, it will also be funny to throw in some Microsoft fanboys and make a windows fanboy video.
Stuff like this should make everyone laugh, especially when you hear something that you always say LOL!!!
42. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
Woz is a fellow mac user lol
46. ilkinandr92 (Posts: 47; Member since: 07 Aug 2012)
Hahahaha this is funny. Love Krapple fan boys they give me a good laugh and those videos remind me of a friend of mine xD
48. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
I have been using Mac computers for years now and I just thought that was hilarious!!! I have said A LOT of these things myself and the part where he says "F*ck, I didn't get Apple Care!"... Made me spit Pepsi. I just have to add a few...
1. iTunes has everything!
2. If only Apple made cars.
3. What do you mean it's NOT supported... I just bought it!
4. Am I holding it right?
5. It looks the same.
If you didn't find that funny or if you have a problem with the article, then YOU are the real problem. Quit taking it so serious because if you look around...everyone is laughing, but you. I can't wait for the "Sh*t Android fanatics say" video. That will probably be just as funny if not funnier.
52. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
That was hilarious lol, Android fanboys are up next :D

The Christmas lights are back in the attic.
Neighborhoods will no longer twinkle red, green and white. As we enter the new year, our landscapes will, once again, become mysteries at night, unless there's a full moon. It doesn't have to stay that way.
Landscape lighting can reveal an entirely new dimension of your property. Low-voltage lighting systems utilize 12 volts to illuminate paths, plants or structures.
For decades, our source of illumination has been Edison's incandescent light bulb in which a tungsten filament would glow when voltage traveled through it. The end result would be light and heat. However, this method is extremely inefficient, converting the majority of voltage into heat rather than light. This was never more evident than in the old Easy-Bake Oven that used an incandescent light bulb to cook brownies. They took forever to make, but it was safe for an aspiring 6-year-old cook.
While fluorescent lights have been much more energy-efficient than incandescent lights, they aren't commonly used in landscape lighting. This may be due to the limitations of bulb shapes or the white light that lacked warmth. Instead, incandescent lights have remained the most common landscape light.
When operating correctly, halogen bulbs produce warm light that does not color shift like standard incandescent bulbs. This is due to halogen gas binding to the tungsten evaporating off the filament that, in a standard incandescent, darkens the inside of the bulb. They still run very hot. In fact, halogen bulbs should not be touched with bare fingers to avoid natural oils from disrupting the uniform distribution of heat.
Because incandescent bulbs have been the standard for so long, most of us have come to associate the amount of light it produces with the number of watts it uses. Watts is a measure of power. The more watts something requires, the more it costs to run. We purchase energy in the form of kilowatt-hours (kWh). For instance, if your kids leave a 1,000-watt light bulb on for one hour, it will use one kWh. And that will cost roughly $0.12.
With halogen lights, we typically use 10-watt light fixtures to illuminate a path or up-light a tree. If the lighting system has 20 lights, each 10 watts, it will require 200 watts to operate. That's still not a significant cost in electricity. At four hours a night, that's about $35 a year. You can do your own calculations at www.citytrf.net/costs_calculator.htm.
However, landscape lighting systems are changing with the development of light-emitting diodes (LED). LEDs convert the majority of voltage into light, wasting very little in heat. They produce more light per watt than halogens. Therefore, the number of watts used by a bulb is no longer an accurate reference to light output. For instance, a 3-watt LED produces about the same light intensity as a 10-watt halogen and lasts almost 10 times as long.
The light quality of an LED, however, was initially stark white. It lacked the halogen warmth. A few years back, Moonlighting Landscape Lighting Systems (www.moonlightinglls.com), a local company that has contributed its expertise to the horticulture program at Trident Technical College for the past couple decades, was hesitant to embrace LED. The fixtures could be unreliable and the light quality wasn't satisfactory. But that has changed. Nowadays, they're getting great results from LEDs with easier maintenance. The light quality, they say, is equivalent to halogens.
Homeowners can expect to change LED bulbs much less frequently than halogens. And for homeowners installing their own system, LEDs are less prone to voltage drop due to wattage consumption that dims lights at the end of long runs. And with fewer watts utilized by LEDs, money can be saved with smaller transformers.
So with all that Christmas money burning a hole in your checking account, consider where lights might fit into your landscape. Not only can they illuminate your pathways, they can inject life into your landscape.

A couple of weeks ago, I suggested some songs that would make a good stewardship playlist in a post titled "Music to Give By." I then solicited suggestions and have now developed the Definitive Stewardship Soundtrack. I wanted to get away from songs overtly about money and use songs that got to the heart of stewardship — cultivating a culture of generosity. Therefore songs like "Money" by Pink Floyd were left on the cutting room floor.
There were however�lots of song suggestions that invoked the almighty dollar. Among them were (along with their nominators, if applicable):
"Shake Your Money Maker" — Elmore James (Solange de Santis)"Money Makes the World Go Round" — Jaques Brel (Rusty Hesse)"Price Tag" — Jessie J. (Liz Donohue)"Fields of Gold" — Sting"For the Love of Money" — The O'Jays (Aleathia Nicholson)"She Works Hard for the Money" — Donna Summer (Laura Toepfer)"The Price You Pay" — Bruce Springsteen (Solange de Santis)What follows is the playlist that, if played during stewardship receptions or coffee hour on Stewardship Sunday, will guarantee an increase of at least 20% in congregational generosity. If the individual results don't match your expectations, please blame Apple, Inc. for developing the i-Pod or, if your choir sings all these songs, go ahead and fire the organist/choirmaster. And the entire alto section.
The Definitive Stewardship Playlist"Give it�Away Now" — Red Hot Chili Peppers"Imagine" — John Lennon"Everybody's Got a Hungry Heart" — Bruce Springsteen (Deb Seles)"Another Brick in the Wall" — Pink Floyd"If I Had a Million Dollars" — Barenaked Ladies"Untold Stories" — Buju Banton (Gawain de Leeuw)"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" — old depression-era song"Ain�t too Proud to Beg" — The Temptations (Solange de Santis)"Dream On" — Aerosmith"Give a Little Bit" — Supertramp (Maxwell Grant)"Hurts So Good" — John Cougar (before he was Mellencamp!)"Come Together" — The Beatles"One Love, One Heart" — Bob Marley"You've Got the Love" — Florence + the Machine (Megan Castellan)"Higher Love" — Steve Winwood (Maxwell Grant)"Give Until There's Nothing Left" — Reliant K (Kim Hardy)"You Really Got Me" — The Kinks"Everything I Own" — Ken Boothe (Gawain de Leeuw)PS. By "definitive" I mean the ever-evolving-so-make-more-suggestions-because-sometimes-these-receptions-go-on-a-long-time-and-you-don't-want-to-run-out-of-music-or-wine-for-that-matter playlist.In all seriousness, stewardship should make you want to sing. And I'm not talking about a funeral dirge. While many see the annual campaign as something to "get through" or "over with," a better approach is to adopt an attitude of grateful celebration.�Stewardship season (which, spiritually speaking, really should last all year) should be a joyful celebration of all that God has bestowed upon our respective communities of faith. So throw a party, put on this soundtrack, and enjoy the blessings bestowed upon you and your parish. You deserve it. And anyway, God loves a good party.Oh, and if things don't work out? You might want to change your tune to the Beatles' "You Never Give Me Your Money" (thanks to the Rev. Tom Mulvey for this suggestion).

The attached spreadsheet reveals the top research producers in terms of scholarship creation for the last five years in the leading Core Business real estate journals. The list is designed to serve as a tool for public policy makers (predominately state and federal government legislators and their staffs), industry practitioners, and trade associations to assist them in their placement of sponsored research. Additionally, the list should prove most helpful to College of Business Deans and University Presidents seeking to expand their school's and/or university's focus into the field of real estate.
(View and download the attachment.)
In no certain order of importance, the Top 3 Core Business real estate journals are defined as REE (Real Estate Economics), JREFE (Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics) and JRER (Journal of Real Estate Research). While these journals cover a broad list of topics, they can be said to focus on the business side of real estate covering topics such as market liquidity, property pricing, duration analysis, likelihood of a transaction, mortgage markets, income-producing property, REITs, and buyer versus renter markets, among other issues. [i]
The list concentrates on the concept of scholarship creation. Where the creation of scholarship is defined as the process of developing a research question, testing this question, submitting the work for blind peer review, and the acceptance of this work by a scientific academic journal. Thus, publication acceptance is a necessary and sufficient condition for an author being credited with the creation of scholarship. For each manuscript, each author associated with that particular work is credited with the production of one piece of scholarship. This is not the usual convention in articles that seek to rank authors and universities research productivity. Typically, the convention is to rank by metrics such as page counts and weighted shares. However, this list is not designed to be a ranking tool. Instead, the list is designed as a tool that is easily decipherable and useful to the parties outlined above. [ii]
Articles in the Top 3 Core Business real estate journals published between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2011 plus forthcoming articles accepted by 12-15-2011 are itemized in the list.[iii] Tentatively, the list will be updated each year during the month of December. For example, the list should next be updated for articles published between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2012 plus forthcoming accepted papers appearing on the three Core Business real estate journals' websites on or before 12-15-2012. In this way, the list constantly reflects current research productivity. Additionally, the list contains other information such as manuscript titles to assist list readers in determining the area or areas of expertise of individual researchers.
If unaltered, the list in spreadsheet form may be copied and redistributed without restrictions. Other questions including (but not limited to) possible corrections can be directed to:
Ken H. Johnson
[i] Urban Econ journals are not covered in this list. While there is considerable overlap between Core Business and Urban journals, Urban Econ journals tend to concentrate in areas such as urban growth models, the social benefits of ownership, and agglomeration.
[ii] There is, of course, enough information within the provided spreadsheets for any interested party to produce the traditional ranking metrics. In fact, we encourage such work as it will serve as additional information on the most current producers of Core Business real estate research.
[iii] Forthcoming articles are those articles that have been accepted for publication but that are not yet in print. The criteria employed for the list requires that the piece be listed as forthcoming on the three journals' websites by 12-15-2011.

Adapting to Evolving Business Environments Is...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Columbia University researchers have identified four potentially key genes that may play significant roles in the development of schizophrenia, and potentially hundreds of other risk-related mutations. In what they claim is the largest and most comprehensive study of its kind, the investigators sequenced the exomes of 231 schizophrenia patients and both parents (proband-parent trios) to hunt for spontaneous mutations linked with the disease. The families were recruited from U.S. and Afrikaner populations with very different demographic structures and histories.
The results identified numerous de novo nonsynonymous single nucleotide variants, as well as gene-disruptive de novo mutations in the patients, but not their parents, including repeated spontaneous disruptions in four genes (LAMA2, DPYD, TRRAP, and VPS39) within both populations that weren't mutated in any of the control individuals. Overall, data from the Afrikaner cohort indicated that at least 17.6% of sporadic schizophrenia cases carried a de novo pathogenic exonic mutation, and at least 9.9% carried a de novo CNV. "Thus, such mutations may contribute to risk in approximately one-fourth to one-third of all sporadic cases," state Maria Karayiorgou, M.D. and colleagues.
One of the most notable findings was that a significant proportion of the mutated genes are highly expressed in early fetal life, and these mutations were enriched among adult cases who had displayed early prepsychotic deviant behaviors. "Our findings provide a mechanistic context to interpret epidemiological correlations among various prenatal environmental insults during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy and risk for schizophrenia," the team writes in their published paper in Nature Genetics. "Moreover, the fact that expression of many prenatally biased genes is under strict miRNA control may explain emerging links between miRNA dysregulation and psychiatric disorders. The challenge remains to identify the affected biological processes and neural circuits and to determine how they are affected."
The researchers in fact estimate that there are more than 850 schizophrenia risk loci. "The chance that two patients have exactly the same mutation or combination of mutations is rather small," notes Dr. Karayiorgou. "What is intriguing is that despite this variability, people with schizophrenia tend to have, more or less, the same phenotype—that is, the same clinical presentation. Our hypothesis is that many neural circuits are extremely important in schizophrenia and that these circuits are vulnerable to a number of influences. So, when any of the genes involved in these circuits are mutated, the end result is the same."
The Columbia University Medical Center researchers and collaborators describe their findings in a paper titled "De novo gene mutations highlight patterns of genetic and neural complexity in schizophrenia".

Hands On With the Horizon LED Task Light
JOBY Trapeze light this past weekend at ICFF, but he also helped present his co-designed Humanscale Horizon LED task light (alongside Michael McCoy), the first task light to utilize Thin Film LED Technology, giving the Horizon a beautiful minimal desktop presence we've been wanting to see in person since 1st laying our eyes on the PR stills… Just like the JOBY Trapeze, this high-intensity array of LED lights give the Humanscale Horizon the ability to produce a very even and warm adjustable amount of illumination with a very slim lighting head unit; no harsh shadows and a 3000K temperature light that is anything but cold. And as you can see from the video above, the Horizon can easily be maneuvered into position for directional lighting. The 11 watts and a rated lifespan of 50,000-60,000 hours (that equals about 25-30 years with 8 hours per day use) make it evident that LED is the way to go if budget permits. No pricing yet, but we should see the Horizon finally available and in production in the latter half of this year.

When adding additional bulbs to the turn signal or hazard flasher circuits, isolation relays must be used in order to prevent damage to the flasher relay module and/or the multi-function switch, and to prevent erratic operation.
The following current ranges must be adhered to on the original flasher circuitry:
- Minimum rated current for the turn signal (either left or right) is 4.45A, at 12.8V and the maximum rated current is 5.06A at 12.8V
- Turn signal current draw below 2.83A at 12.8V will cause the flasher to flash rapidly
- The minimum rated current for the hazard flasher is 4.20A at 12.8V and the maximum rated current is 10.12A at 12.8V

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom Preview
0. phoneArena 12 Jun 2013, 06:34 posted on
Despite the flagship branding, the S4 Zoom is first a camera, then a phone. It expands on the idea started with Samsung's Galaxy Camera – a 16MP Android-powered camera, which has cellular connectivity but for data only. On paper we have the first phone with a 10x optical zoom, but did Samsung manage to make a cameraphone, or did it simply slap a phone on a camera? Read on to find out...

62. willard12 (Posts: 1693; Member since: 04 Jul 2012)
Its odd that there are so many comments about how a camera looks (which is a matter of opinion) rather than how well it works. I doubt anyone will look at a Cannon and comment "that is ugly." Has anyone ever discussed how beautiful the design of a camera is or do they discuss how beautiful the photos are? Its a camera with android functionality. I guess if you're one of the 15 people in world concerned with how your camera looks, this isn't for you.

Ativ S is biting dust in windows phone department
Samsung tried to be first in everything in something that they are not good at, and camera in phones is one of them (in fact, i dont think there is anyone who will mention Samsung when you bring up the topic of digital cameras). First isnt necessarily the best. Samsung rushed ahead and announced the first windows phone 8 device, and guess what, it's selling worse than HTC 8X, let alone Nokia's Lumia phones.

This is what Shamesung does, when it does not copy. And why to release it as "S4" while it does not have specs S4 has?
Milking some S4 cow perhaps? Shame on you Shamesung.
58. jiezel91 (Posts: 67; Member since: 28 Jul 2011)
A bad move by Samsung really. Too much compromise is done just to emphasize the camera part of the device. Really now? And worse, they even incorporated the S4 name! By doing so, they are damaging the reputation of the "Galaxy S" line of products which is usually state-of-the-art and well-thought premium devices by Samsung. So far, Samsung has been releasing good Galaxy S products... until now. This one looks just like an ordinary smartphone slapped with optical zoom camera and xenon flash at the back in a rushed decision and then release it without further balancing some of the elements on the phone side.
You have to be a hardcore Samsung fan to buy this. This one looks ugly, let's face it. This is what happens when you are in a hurry and don't spend time perfecting your products. They think that because people are mad about the Galaxy line, they thought everything they release would sell like hotcakes, hence they no longer spend time making their products beautiful.
Seriously, this one hardly has the qualities of a "Galaxy S" product to begin with.

But a little restraint and a little bit of homework can go a long way on these occasions, especially when the company in question isn't exactly a Boeing or a BMW.
A slightly embarrassing case in point for South Carolina involves a shaky start-up with outsized ambitions.
The Haley administration last year was quick to trumpet the arrival of PyroTec Inc. and chalk up a victory for its economic development scorecard. But a routine review of the company's background and finances would have flagged the deal as sketchy at best, long before it ever reached the publicity stage.
Even the company's board of directors doesn't dispute that.

The company was described as a high-tech Charleston-based recycling business that was to invest $10 million and create 75 jobs in the region. Its global headquarters were to open at Freshfields Village near Kiawah and Seabrook islands by last July. A telephone number was provided for job applicants.
The statement also included canned quotes from several government officials, including Gov. Nikki Haley.
"We celebrate PyroTec's decision to establish its new headquarters in South Carolina, and invest $10 million and create 75 new jobs in Charleston. Announcements like this show that we are on the right track with regards to economic development," Haley said.
According to the announcement, PyroTec was pursuing a license to a patented technology that extracts materials from scrap tires, discarded plastics and other forms of waste. It planned to sell the refined end product as an alternative fuel.
"South Carolina gives us an excellent business environment, and we look forward to growing our business here," PyroTec CEO John Burns said in the state-issued press release. "We appreciate the support we've received from state and local officials."
The company said it expected to announce future factory locations in the coming weeks. It never happened. In hindsight, it wasn't at all surprising.
PyroTec was essentially a shell public company that hadn't yet sold any stock publicly but had filed details about its shaky financial status with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For instance, PyroTec reported no sales, no operations and just $200 in working capital.
Also, the company required money, lots of it, to execute on the Charleston County expansion. It estimated it needed to raise $50 million quickly and at least another $25 million longer term to secure the long-term licensing rights to its recycling technology.
PyroTec warned that it couldn't guarantee that it would succeed in raising the money. All of that information was publicly available in May on the SEC's website.
PyroTec never did come up with the cash it needed. Last week, it was disclosed that it has changed its name, changed its focus and changed its management. Its executive offices shifted from Wappoo Creek Drive on James Island to Newport Beach, Calif.
Now called Trinergy Global Inc., the business still in existence, but the Charleston expansion plan is dead, said Anthony Paesano, a Birmingham, Mich., attorney who represents the company.
"It's definitely off," he said Thursday.
No news, good news
Not that it was ever really a go. Paesano said PyroTec's now-ex-CEO should not have approached the state with the deal.
"John Burns decided unilaterally to do that without authorization, and it caused quite a stir internally," Paesano said
Burns is no longer with the company, and he did not address Paesano's comments in an email Friday. He defended the company's plans and said the state went out of its way to help.
"There were no state tax or direct incentives tied to this announcement, and it was contingent upon acquiring financing," Burns said. "I can tell you when it became apparent that the financing was not going to occur that the entire team worked tirelessly to acquire new financing for investors, business, as well as, the state."
Paesano said he was surprised to read how far up the chain the deal went in South Carolina for "a start-up company."
"It was a shock to see there was a quote from the governor's office," Paesano said, referring to the press statement. "That surprised me."
Commerce said it reviews financials only for companies seeking incentives and that meet the qualifications.
"As a pro-business agency, we may support companies with announcements, whether or not incentives are involved," spokeswoman Amy Love said in statement.
In the end, PyroTec turned out to be a case of no harm, no foul. State and local governments didn't invest any public funds aside from the resources it took to write and issue the announcement.
South Carolinians are eager for news about new jobs and innovative companies. But reputation and credibility should come first. In this instance, no news would have been good news.

6. What are the definitions of Primary and Secondary Sources?
Primary Source
Material that contains firsthand accounts of events and that was created contemporaneous to
those events or later recalled by an eyewitness.
Primary sources emphasize the lack of intermediaries between the thing or events being studied
and reports of those things or events based on the belief that firsthand accounts are more
accurate. Examples of primary sources include letters and diaries; government, church, and business records; oral histories; photographs, motion pictures, and videos; maps and land
records; and blueprints. Newspaper articles contemporaneous with the events described are
traditionally considered primary sources, although the reporter may have compiled the story
from witnesses, rather than being an eyewitness. Artifacts and specimens may also be primary
evidence if they are the object of study.
Secondary Source
1. A work that is not based on direct observation of or evidence directly associated with the
subject, but instead relies on sources of information.
2. A work commenting on another work (primary sources), such as reviews, criticism, and

The Barbour County Sheriff's Office began a new outreach effort Thursday involving deputies spending time inside the county schools, officials said.
The department is working with the Barbour Board of Education on the project. Superintendent Dr. Joseph Super said that he thinks deputies are planning on visiting each school for about an hour at a time.
Super said the sheriff's department would work through the details, but he believes that all deputies will have the opportunity to visit schools in the county.
"They're going to try to make sure that all staff is involved," Super said.
While reaching out to students in the schools, deputies will be doing anything from simply sitting in classrooms with students to playing basketball in the gym with them, he said.
"It helps them realize that law enforcement is a positive thing," Super said. "They know that this individual is in the building. They can turn to this individual if they need some help."
Super said Sheriff John Hawkins and other police officers attended a county-wide meeting Thursday morning to discuss the program.
While visiting the schools, deputies will be able to establish a solid relationship with students, the school board and the community, Super said. All county schools will be able to have a deputy visit.
"That's what we're really, really appreciative of. They're not isolating one or two (schools). They're making a conscious effort to get to all our schools," Super said. "I appreciate the outreach from law enforcement."
The Inter-Mountain phoned the sheriff's office throughout the day Thursday for comments and information, but officers were away from the office with other responsibilities, according to the sheriff's office. No further information was available at this time.

Anytime you're playing tennis in Charleston, college tennis' winningest Division I coach might be watching. Charleston native Paul Scarpa has returned to the area after serving 45 years as Furman's men's tennis coach.
Scarpa still represents Furman, even if not in quite the same manner as when he directed the Paladins to a record 853 wins as well as 17 Southern Conference regular season titles and 14 tournament championships. His job these days is as a special assistant to the president.
When Scarpa decided to leave his coaching behind on the courts at Furman in the summer of 2011, it was only natural for him to want to return home, especially since his wife Sandy also was excited about the move. They still own a home at Travelers Rest.
Furman made the choice even easier with the tag of ambassador at large.
"Furman wants more awareness in Charleston," Scarpa said. "We bought a home in Mount Pleasant and have been here a little more than a year. I get to spend more time with Sandy now that I've retired from coaching."
But Scarpa still stays busy, assisting Furman in the areas of admissions, alumni relations and development. Not to mention that he might show up for any tennis match in town.
Just last year, he was enshrined into two more halls of fames. The college tennis hall of fame and the Southern Conference hall of fame were added in 2012 to his growing list of hall of fame recognition that includes Southern tennis and Furman and South Carolina athletic halls. He also received the Order of the Palmetto in 2012.
Scarpa can talk all day about his memories. And rightly so. There have been enough achievements for a team of coaches.
He likes to point out that four of his Furman players were All-Americans (James Cameron, John Chesworth, Don Barton and Ned Caswell), especially Caswell, who also played college basketball and started out as the No. 14 player on Scarpa's tennis roster.
Scarpa operated a summer tennis camp at Furman for 42 years, but after helping out last year he is leaving the camp behind. "Four kids that I coached at the camp later played at Wimbledon. Ned (Caswell) beat Patrick McEnroe and some other well-known players," he said.
Scarpa was all about tennis, but he wasn't just tennis in his early days at Furman. He was an assistant basketball coach to Frank Selvy for two years and he started the Paladins' soccer program.
The Florida State graduate and former No. 1 player served as tennis coach at his alma mater for one year and two years at Navy before finding a home in Greenville.
From a Furman tennis program that "didn't have a lot of money," he masterminded the construction of a state-of-the-art four-court indoor facility on campus. He even built a 12-court off-campus complex that he owned.
One of the highlights of Scarpa's achievements was the development of a new dual match scoring system that the NCAA implemented in 1993 and still uses. The Scarpa System puts added emphasis on doubles by playing the three doubles matches prior to singles and awarding one point to the team that wins doubles.
"It used to be that fans would come watch singles and then leave," he said. "Now, they come watch doubles and leave."
Looking back over his career, he said, "I loved every minute of it. I'm most proud of what I was able to do with what we had."
Charleston product Anderson Scarpa and his Mercer University teammates face Coastal Carolina on Jan. 27 at 1 p.m. at The Citadel tennis complex. Scarpa is a freshman on full scholarship and is expected to contend for a starting spot in the middle of the lineup.
City of Charleston tennis manager Peggy Bohne is already planning another season of the popular Tri-County Elementary and Middle School League. Play will run March 11-May 17, but schools fielding teams in the league are required to be represented at one of three mandatory coach's meetings (Jan. 14 at 5 p.m., Jan. 18 at 4 p.m. or Jan. 27 at 3 p.m.). Meetings will be held at Charleston Tennis Center (766-7401) at 19 Farmfield Ave.
Daniel Island's Shelby Rogers moved up six more places since December to 209th in the world after climbing almost 200 places in the WTA Tour rankings in six months.
Next Friday is the deadline for forming a league tennis team for the spring season.

The Werra river snakes its way for 300 kilometres from its source on the Rennsteig ridge through Thuringia , northern Hessen and southern Lower Saxony – often alongside the former inner-German border. At Hannoversch Münden, the Werra and Fulda merge to become the Weser river.
The World Heritage region of Wartburg Hainich combines two of Thuringia's most significant tourist destinations: historical Wartburg Castle and the ancient beech forests, which not only reflect the two sides to the UNESCO coin – culture and nature – but also offer a world of opportunities for visitors now and in the future.
Up in the north east of the March of Brandenburg, wind turbines rotate on the horizon and the hustle and bustle of city life feels like a distant memory. And yet here is a place with its finger firmly on the pulse: regional producers, energy suppliers and small family businesses are all driving sustainable development as part of an eco-friendly tourism network.
There has always been something special about the Lippe region. It was here that the legendary Battle of Teutoburg Forest took place in 9 AD, when the Teutons, led by Hermann the Cheruscan, stopped the Romans' northern advance. The region still proudly refers to itself as 'Hermann's Teutoburg Forest'.
The Spree Forest: central Europe's most beautiful inland delta. Rivers and streams flow slowly between tranquil villages, where Sorbs still practise their age-old customs and boatmen guide their wooden punts along the narrow waterways at a leisurely pace.

TRIESTE, Italy, 7 June 2012 - A conference focusing on technologies and best practices for the optimal utilization of by-products in the East African coffee value chain will take place from 11-14 June.
The conference is being organized by the International Centre for Science and High Technology (ICS) of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, in cooperation with the Ernesto Illy Foundation and illycaffè, together with the UNIDO's Clusters and Business Linkages, and the Rural Entrepreneurship and Human Security units.
More than 40 participants are expected to attend, including the main representatives of the Coffee Boards of Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda, delegates of the World Bank and the International Coffee Board, as well as experts from UNIDO and from Brazil and Colombia.
The main themes to be addressed are how to increase sustainability in the coffee supply chain, and how to improve supplier/buyer linkages.
Cooperation between ICS-UNIDO, the Ernesto Illy Foundation and illycaffè started in 2011, with a joint fellowship programme, which resulted in the participation of young coffee quality experts from Tanzania and Ethiopia in a master's degree in coffee economics and science.
Following a meeting with Andrea Illy, the chairman and CEO of illycaffè in August 2012, the UNIDO Director-General, Kandeh K. Yumkella, initiated collaboration between UNIDO and the company in order to explore opportunities for integrating the supply and value chains, and for maximizing export consortia approaches.

Dale Feagin never saw this one coming. He thought he was getting a surprise store inspection at his Hess Express Store at 429 St. James Ave. in Goose Creek.
What he got instead was a much nicer surprise.
His family, friends, store associates and members of Hess corporate management arrived around midday on June 24 to honor Feagin for being named the 2014 Store Manager of the Year by the South Carolina Association of Convenience Stores (SCACS).
I never expected this, not at all, said a surprised Feagin as a party of about 30 well wishers descended on his St. James Ave. store.
Feagins boss and Market Leader for Hess Express, Doug Rohe nominated him for the award. An SCACS committee selected Feagin from a group of nominees around the state. The SCACS represents more than 3,600 stores and managers in South Carolina. Feagin will receive his award at the 2014 SCACS Annual Convention in Hilton Head on July 20.
This is a tremendous honor to be selected like this, but this is not about me at all, Feagin said. Its about the people I work with and the company I work for. We come in here and try to make this a pleasant experience for our customers every day.
Feagins wife Cindy said this is the type of man her husband is, the type not to take credit, but to remain in the background while others share in the spotlight.
He wants to do the best he can at what he does, she said. He has such a positive work ethic. This isnt just a job to him.
Daughter Whitney Feagin said her father works hard every day.
We have cut short vacations because of things that may be going on at work, she said. Its not that he has to do whats extra, he wants to. With gas prices being so high he wants to make the shopping as pleasant as possible.
He doesnt know how to work any other way but to give everything he has.
Feagin has worked for Hess Express for eight years and has made his store one of the top stores for the company. He is known as the go-to Hess manager in Charleston, Columbia, and Myrtle Beach.
His accomplishments include being an effective manager of one of the highest volume sites in South Carolina, consistently hitting all financial and appearance goals, and volunteering to be a Guest Services trainer for Hess Express. He has trained more than 200 hourly employees and received his Certified Trainer License for Charleston and Myrtle Beach.
Feagin was even selected as the Region 4 Manager of the Year in 2013, by competing against 150 different managers around the region.
Feagin is active in Faith Christian Academy as the assistant football coach and Sunday School teacher at the Turning Point Church.
The Store Manager of the Year presentation was a surprise.
SCACS Treasurer Sheri Mehaffey, said it best: The Store Manager of the Year Award is like winning an Oscar in the Convenience Store Industry.

The Jeff Gordon of country music. Butt-pirate country singer who is mainly responsible for integrating pop and country music, causing a metrosexual, pussified sound that seems to embody much of today's country music sound. Cheated on his wife, had an alter-ego named Chris Gaines, decided to retire, then came back years later to fill the world with his pop-culture country music.

Dear users Wimdu not ever book this apartment to tell them wonderful! It is a bad place I'm still here and I leave today if I had not paid in advance of course I'd be gone. Third floor. Small, old man with a sofa bed which when opened can not even go to the bathroom more. Two days without hot water in December in New York is not the best! High price for the real value! The only positive thing is the location really perfect! However, avoid it!
Cari utenti di wimdu non prenotate mai questo appartamento a dir loro meraviglioso! È un postaccio io sono ancora qui e parto oggi è se non avessi pagato in anticipo di certo me ne sarei andato. Terzo piano senza ascensore. Piccolo, vecchio con un divano letto che quando lo aprì neanche puoi più andare in bagno. 2 giorni senza acqua calda che a dicembre a new york non è il massimo! Prezzo altissimo per il valore reale! L unica cosa positiva è la posizione veramente perfetta! Comunque evitatelo!
The only favorable point about the apartment is its location, which is excellent. The building is very poorly attended, because there is a sauna downstairs! There are two flights of stairs p / up, which we were not warned. The wifi stopped working on the third day of occupation and did not return to work in 12 days. Mismanagement of the property, despite numerous complaints. Minimum Bedrooms and bathrooms filthy!
O único ponto favorável em relação ao apartamento é a sua localização, que é excelente. O prédio é muito mal frequentado, pois existe uma sauna no andar de baixo! São dois andares de escada p/ subir, o que não nos foi avisado. O wifi parou de funcionar no terceiro dia de ocupação e não voltou a funcionar em 12 dias. Péssima administração do imóvel, apesar de inúmeras reclamações. Quartos mínimos e banheiro imundo!!
Location excellent, very old apartment, 2 keys were given to us who are being opened and closed with one dificuladade the front door of the apartment. Domestic utensils not very velhos.secadora clothes funcionava.o heating system worked only in 1 room and other environments too cold. left much to be desired.
Localizacao excelente, apartamento muito velho, foram dadas 2 chaves para nos sendo que so uma abria e fechava com dificuladade a porta de entrada do apartamento. utensilios domesticos muito velhos.secadora de roupa nao funcionava.o sistema de calefacao funcionava somente em 1 quarto sendo os outros ambientes muito frio. deixou muito a desejar.
This apartment had a very good location. But was not clean, far too small for 6 people. One of the two seat bed, there was one piece. After complaints about too little hooks, 4 chairs instead of 6 and the fact that one of the couches did not work, one has brought us some extra hangers. That organization will not use anything to rent in New York.
Dit appartement had een zeer goede ligging. Maar was niet proper, veel te klein voor 6 personen. Een van de 2 zetelbedden was er één stuk. Na reclamaties over te weinig kapstokken, 4 stoelen ipv 6 en het feit dat één van de zetelbedden niet werkte, heeft men ons enkel extra kapstokken gebracht.
Zal deze organisatie niet meer gebruiken om iets te huren in new York.
Since our short another apartment was assigned, we can not judge THIS apartment. We lived on Central Park West, 91st Street, no. 5th https://www.wimdu.com/offers/C5A0OMOE This apartment was very pretty and lovingly decorated and very clean. Positive was that we were able to open the window at night, as the building was located in a quiet side street. And we felt very comfortable and safe, especially also because to 1.00 clock at night was always a doorman at the entrance to the house present. Let into the house was only he who was known to him. From 1.00 clock at night, the front door could only be opened with a security key. Only the tiles in the bathroom seem to be a bit older. Otherwise, we would not hesitate to stay there again. The location was perfect! Right on Central Park, that is 2 minutes, and we were in the countryside. Even the subway was only 5 minutes away. What did not work was the TV and was also - despite emails and phone calls - not repaired during the 5 days stay. But who needs a TV when you're in NY ....
Da uns kurzfristig eine andere Wohnung zugeteilt wurde, können wir DIESE Wohnung nicht beurteilen. Wir wohnten am Central Park West, 91st Street, No. 5. https://www.wimdu.com/offers/C5A0OMOE
Diese Wohnung war sehr hübsch und liebevoll eingerichtet und auch sehr sauber. Positiv war auch, dass wir nachts das Fenster öffnen konnten, da das Gebäude in einer ruhigen Seitengasse lag.
Wir fühlten und sehr wohl und sicher, vorallem auch, weil bis 1.00 Uhr nachts immer ein Doorman beim Eingang zum Haus präsent war. Ins Haus gelassen wurde nur wer ihm bekannt war. Ab 1.00 Uhr nachts konnte die Eingangstüre nur mit einem Sicherheitsschlüssel geöffnet werden.
Einzig die Fliesen im Badezimmer scheinen schon etwas älter zu sein. Ansonsten würden wir jederzeit wieder dort wohnen.
Die Lage war perfekt! Direkt am Central Park, sprich 2 Minuten und wir waren im Grünen. Auch die Subway war nur 5 Gehminuten entfernt.
Was nicht funktioniert hat, war der TV und wurde auch - trotz Mails und Telefonaten - während den 5 Tagen Aufenthalt nicht repariert. Aber wer braucht schon einen TV wenn man in NY ist....
The accommodation is clean and decorated in a minimalist style and is centrally located and close to transport. The real estate agency is helpful and kind. Right on the bathroom is very small and the windows do not close properly housing, autumn / winter feel many drafts! Good for the price and location (ten munuti walk from Times Square)!
L'alloggio è pulito e arredato in stile essenziale e si trova in
posizione centrale e vicina ai trasporti. Il personale dell'agenzia
immobiliare è disponibile e gentile. Nota negativa: il bagno è molto
piccolo e le finestre dell'alloggio non chiudono bene,
d'autunno/inverno si sentono molti spifferi!
Consigliato per il prezzo e la posizione (dieci munuti a piedi da Times Square)!
was very pleased with appartment....was first time i used site and will be using again...have recommended to my family in ireland...
Apartment is small but clean. The bathroom is very small. Otherwise parts as described above. Very well located, as at the end of the street is 18th Street Subway. We were three of us and the place was adequate. For 4 people, it is rather too small.
Apartment ist klein, aber sauber. Das Badezimmer ist sehr klein. Ansonsten Ausstattung wie beschrieben. Sehr gut gelegen, da am Ende der Straße Subway 18th Street ist. Wir waren zu dritt und der Platz war ausreichend. Für 4 Personen ist es eher zu klein.
Very nice en cute apartment. Good location and clean.
The only thing is that the apartment is on the 4th floor with no elevator, the hall smells bad. We had to pick up the key in there office, (10 min from the ap) but when we left home we could drop our bags over there. So that gave us more time to spend in the City. I would recommend this place!
Great location close to Time Square and Port Authority Bus Terminal. Very clean and exactly as described. However would benefit from replacing the mattress on the sofa bed as this was dreadful - every spring pressing into you as you attempted to sleep, ended up sleeping on the couch (!) - pretty disappointing.
Would also benefit from providing additional towels for extended stays - we stayed 8 days and only had a towel each provided.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Canadian dairy producers set a world record
Canadian dairy producers set a world record
Dairy Farmers of Canada, partnering with Canadian processors from across the country, announced it officially set a new world record. On July 8, 2010, they broke the Guinness World Record for the world's largest smoothie at the Bust-a-Record Dairy Day celebration held in Toronto, Canada.
The 264-gallon smoothie was made from all Canadian ingredients. It consisted of 145.5 gallons of 100 percent Canadian milk, 660 pounds of frozen blueberries, 39 gallons of vanilla yogurt, and 9.2 gallons of honey. The mixture was blended in a 317-gallon stainless steel bolt tank by a team of leading Canadian dairy producers.
President of Dairy Farmers of Canada, Jacques Laforge, noted, "Setting a new Guinness World Record with the All-Canadian Blueberry Smoothie is a wonderful way to celebrate our Canadian dairy producers and the purity, high quality, and great taste of dairy products made from 100 percent Canadian milk."
Booster Juice in London, Ontario, with a 179-gallon smoothie, held the previous record. The Dairy Farmers of Canada bested this by approximately 90 gallons.
