"Got my 2004 Volvo XC90 T6 AWD used with 30K miles. Love the way it handles --excellent in snowy or slippery conditions. I have the third row, which has come in very handy for carting kids around. Drawbacks include: need for premium fuel $$, gas mileage, and lots of frequent maintenance. In the last year and a half I've had to replace tires, front brakes, washer pump, etc.. Thankfully, not huge ticket problems, but I'd be lying if I said that I have 100% faith that this car is reliable...or won't give me a headache in the future. It's a beauty to look at and drive -- but be ready to pay for it!"

"Buy this Vehicle for your family's safety if you live in the snow or ice. Three blizzards in Colorado, towed our Volvo S60 R to California over 14,000 foot Rockies, after 81,000 miles the car is still going strong. Buy the extended warrentee: many repairs needed cost only $100 per deductable. Two engine mounts, propeller shaft (drive shaft), new rack & Pinion Steering. Gyroscope under driver's seat is amazing and the STC sensors on the wheels. The result: it is impossible to put this car into a skid in snow. . . believe me I tried. The antio skid system puts the right amount of braking and reduced the engine power to straighten out the car! During one of the three Blizzards of 2006/2007 we passed dozens of stranded cars, trucks, and even a police officer stuck at an intersection. Get studless snow tires with ground up Walnut Shells (Blizex) and it stops even on black ice! Amazing. Now we live in California and enjoy sun every day and our 7 month old has plenty of room for her car seat and baby equipment. Bottom line: great car, some repairs needed, but I was surprised to see all of the people's complaints about repairs -- just like humans cars need a little investment. I will go with a Volvo again."

"Purchased a silver 2004 XC90 2.5T 3years ago from Lexus dealer for wife. Vehicle now has approx. 115K miles. No major mechanical issues thus far. 2.5 has adequate acceleration. Goes down highway excellent (extremely straight and smooth). Does have some creaks when hitting substantial bumps on secondary roads. Need to keep tires rotated. Use caution backing up due to limited visability. Dealership scheduled maintenance can be pricey. Chrome trim around windows beginning to oxidize. Excellent factory sound system. Despite some flaws, I'm rating this Volvo as a good solid vehicle...thus far."

"I own a 2005 Volvo XC90 that I purchased in 2007 and this has not been a inexpensive car to maintain. This is my first Volvo and I've been very disappointed with my purchase. This car goes through tires rapidly and the transmission has just gone out at 89K. This is the first time I've ever had to replace a transmission in any car I've ever owned and I've never would have thought I'd have to replace a transmission for any vechile under 100K. On the plus side it's a confortable car that has a suitable amout of get up and go, however, it's not with the trade off."

Friday, July 4, 2014
On July 9, the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC) will host a public workshop about the future of the agency's property located near the Limehouse Bridge. This piece of land, located in the Stono River between West Ashley and Johns Island, is currently undeveloped and a master plan is in the works to make it a county park facility. The public is invited to attend the meeting, to be held from 6-7:30 p.m. at the West Ashley High School cafeteria, with a presentation beginning at 6:45 p.m.
At the meeting, information will be shared about the site, and project leaders will discuss opportunities and constraints at the property. The public will be invited to share comments and opinions about what they would like to see at the property. The meeting will be hosted by staff from CCPRC and the agency's consultants for the property, Stantec.
In December of 2012, CCPRC received the Limehouse Point property through a generous donation. The site offers stunning views of the Stono River and opportunities for kayaking, bird watching and other recreational activities. The master planning process for this project will explore pedestrian and vehicular circulation, a dock connection to the marsh island and river, and constructed improvements that provide opportunities for recreation. Beyond the site, the planning process will explore connections to the West Ashley Greenway and the Southeast Coast Saltwater Paddling Trail. The intended process will include seeking guidance and input from a Steering Committee and the community.
The 85.5-acre future park site is located in the West Ashley and Johns Island areas of the City of Charleston near the Limehouse Bridge. It is composed of approximately 25.3 acres of highland, a 12.2-acre marsh island and 48 acres of marsh adjoining the Stono River. A proposed development had begun infrastructure improvements at the property when it was acquired and donated to CCPRC. Portions are zoned under conservation and others are restricted to recreational use. The property's plant communities consist of mixed-mesic, bottomland hardwood and maritime forests, as well as early successional and tidal salt marsh.
An active CSX rail line abuts the property to the north, and the West Ashley Greenway terminus is within 300 yards of the site. With its close proximity to the Greenway, the property provides an excellent opportunity to serve as a trailhead. Its adjacency to the CSX rail line also creates the potential to extend the Greenway to the south. The stunning views of the Stono River and the potential for water access create further opportunities for passive recreation and enjoyment, including a potential connection to the proposed Southeast Coast Saltwater Paddling Trail.
As for the future direction of the property, Julie Hensley, director of planning for CCPRC, notes that interested citizens should understand that it might be a matter of years before the park is developed. "However, we are very excited about the opportunities for trail connections offered by this site and look forward to developing the master plan for the property," said Hensley.

DETROIT, MI -- U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes on Thursday heard arguments on a request from city retirees to allow another court to address constitutional issues in Detroit's historic Chapter 9 filing.
City unions and retiree groups have repeatedly challenged the bankruptcy filing because pensions are protected by the Michigan Constitution.
Detroit Emergency Manager, Kevyn Orr, who estimated the city's long-term obligations at more than $18 billion in debt when he took the city into bankruptcy proceedings in July, has made it clear that retirement benefits could be a key target in the restructuring process.
A lawyer for a committee appointed to represent the city's retirees argued Thursday that constitutional questions should be heard in U.S. District Court, not bankruptcy court.
"We say the wrong court is dealing with the question," said attorney Claude Montgomery. "We want to make sure that the right court hears it."
Rhodes indicated he's concerned that staying bankruptcy court proceedings in favor of district court hearings would prolong the process.
Dozens of residents and retirees addressed the court earlier Thursday, asking Rhodes to deny bankruptcy eligibility because of the constitutional pension protection and because the filing was executed by an unelected state appointee.
"Several of them expressed a most profound concern about the uncertainty resulting from these proceedings, about whether they will receive their pensions or not," said Rhodes, "suggesting... that it's in their best interest to get to the answer to that question as promptly as possible."
Montgomery said retirees have a right to have the proper court address issues of their constitutional rights.
"The pace at which the proceeding moves is an important one... but we, the retirees, believe that the more important question than pace is who... (will) set a pace that is accelerated or slow."
A lawyer for the city argued that slashing pensions is not an issue currently before the bankruptcy court as it works toward determining whether or not the city is eligibility for Chapter 9.
Negotiations between the city and its creditors are taking place separately and behind closed in a court-ordered mediation process as Orr prepares to propose a restructuring plan.
The state attorney general's office announced in July that it intends to defend the retirees' pensions, but on Thursday sided with the city and opposed staying bankruptcy proceedings.
Rhodes said he'll issue a written opinion on the issue within the next few days.
He appeared unconvinced by arguments that his court doesn't have jurisdiction to decide on any and all issues leading to a ruling on eligibility.

Waldorf Astoria Blamed for Family's Bedbugs
A Nassau County mother alleges a one-night stay at New York's Waldorf Astoria hotel resulted in her six-year-old daughter being bitten by bedbugs — and the critters returning home with them.
Susanne Igneri filed a complaint last week in Nassau County Supreme Court against the luxury hotel, which is owned and operated by Hilton Worldwide. She says since the family's Feb. 20 stay at the Waldorf, she has incurred more than $13,000 in expenses and damages.
In a statement, Waldorf Astoria officials said they were unaware of the lawsuit and "cannot speak to its merits." The statement added, "The management of the Waldorf Astoria takes the issue of bedbugs very seriously as the safety and comfort of our guests are our top priorities."
In a letter dated Oct. 20, a week after the lawsuit was filed, Abalon Exterminating Co., contracted by the Waldorf, wrote that a technician "performed a complete detailed inspection" of the Igneris' room days after their departure. "All areas of the room were inspected with no evidence of any infestation found," said the letter, a copy of which was provided to The Wall Street Journal by Hilton.
Abalon vice president Dorothy Frost confirmed the company was contracted by the Waldorf Astoria for pest control.
Bedbugs have become a problem for residents, retailers and commercial office buildings across the city –from the Hollister Epic store in SoHo to the Brooklyn District Attorney's office and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. In July, city agencies pledged to better coordinate their response on bedbug education and prevention and funded $500,000 toward the effort, most of which will go to an informational website.
The hotel industry, in particular, has been concerned about bedbugs. Hotels began to "change some of their housekeeping protocols" about five to seven years ago as a way to identify a problem early, said Joseph McInerney, president and chief executive officer of the American Hotel & Lodging Association, a trade group.
"Each company has their own service protocols, we don't get into the business of setting standards for the industry," said McInerney.
The number of lawsuits against hotels over a bedbug complaint is "miniscule" said McInerney, adding that "the last thing they [hotels] want to do is have people running around saying, "Gee, there's bedbugs at the XYZ hotel.'"
The complaint against the Waldorf Astoria states that then six-year-old Sophia suffered "permanent scarring to her face, legs, stomach, groin and body" from bug bites and that the child suffered "psychological and emotional injuries, anxiety and disordered sleep" requiring medical and psychological treatment.
"The kid was having nightmares," said Donald T. Kiley, Ms. Igneri's attorney, adding that the family has taken her to see a pediatric psychologist. "It's like monsters under the bed."
Sophia Igneri slept on a rollaway bed during her stay at the Waldorf Astoria, which her family paid for through points accrued on a credit card. The family was visiting the city from Levittown, N.Y. for Ms. Igneri's birthday.
The night the family returned home, Sophia was scratching her legs and unable to sleep. A pediatrician confirmed that she'd been bitten by bedbugs, according to Kiley.
The complaint states that personal damages in the home, for pest extermination, cleaning and loss of personal property, amount to $13,000 and continue to climb.

As the NFL Scouting Combine gets underway, all eyes look towards Indianapolis. It will showcase around 300 players entering into the draft.
The players undergo tests–physical and mental–in front of officials from every NFL team such as coaches and general managers.
The scrutiny they experience, and how they perform under this pressure usually adds a new flavor to the usually unpredictable and entreating NFL Draft, which is held at the end of April.
Although some of the tests get more hype than others (i.e. the Wonderlic Test), the interview can be one of the most important components of the combine to a team. The interview process is also very selective (only 60 players are chosen by NFL teams), meaning the "wow-factor" comes into play even more.
Fifteen minutes may seem daunting or maybe downright pointless; but can you really make or break your NFL career based on a simple interview?
Regardless, these players need strong interviews to not only improve their draft status but also prove to the NFL that they mean more than just business.

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) XO laptop may have been designed as a small cheap computer for children in developing countries, but it's become the antecedent of all netbooks
It's bright green and white, runs Linux and could be the most important laptop you're never likely to use. The OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) XO was designed expressly to put modern computing into the hands of children in developing countries.
And it's been something of an inspiration to commercial laptop manufactuers such as Asus, to make small and cheap laptops for the rest of us.
If you've ever used, owned, or wanted a netbook... think of the XO as its spiritual and more academically tuned predecessor.
A target price of $100 was set for manufacturing, although production costs are currently closer to $200. With nascent demand from the developed world, the OLPC organisation started a Give 1, Get 1 (G1G1) scheme, so that around $400 would buy you one of these unusual gems, while putting another in the hands of a child elsewhere in the world.
For the latest laptop reviews, visit Laptop Advisor
The XO has been engineered as a robust, low-cost computer able to withstand the conditions of working outside in hot and dusty countries. With the help of a special dual-mode screen technology, it can even be used in direct sunlight.
Putting an XO in the hands of an experienced laptop user, meanwhile, can be an exercise in entertainment. Because the designers have rethought almost every aspect of the XO's construction, to enable it to perform best with its target audience of young children in an outdoors environment, it's a devil to get open the first time you try it.
First you must open the bunny ears - actually twin antennae for send/receive mesh networking, where wireless access points can be extended by every connected XO-user - then pull the main 'body' up. This is actually the screen, which has the electronics built behind it. The keyboard is a water- and dust-resistant type with a rubbery green membrane to protect it. Anyone familiar with a ZX Spectrum will be right at home here.
It's not the easiest keyboard to work with, as there's less tactile feedback - but once you get used to that it's easier to type with confidence.
With the screen open, it's actually possible to rotate it 180º and fold it flat, rather like some tablet PC laptops, and use the XO as an ebook. But this blocks the keyboard and trackpad, so you'll probably want to swing the screen back and explore the operating system.
Again, experienced windows, Mac and even Linux users will have to scratch their heads initially to find the apps they need. There are plenty of programs here, 26 of them splayed out in a graphic ring on the Home screen. These range from predictable inclusions such as Write (for writing) and Web (for browsing), to more bizarre inclusions such as Scratch (for stop-motion animation, naturally).
In use, it's no speed demon, but web pages load almost as fast as a modern netbook, and there's certainly enough power for word processing and light creative duties.
NEXT PAGE: Earlier US review from January 2008 >>>
Take a quick look at the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) XO and you can't help but be impressed with the clever design, both technically and physically.
Laptops used by children in the remote villages of developing nations must be cheap, compact, easy to repair, rugged and power-stingy. Business users stuck on a flight, say, from New York to Paris, would want the same thing. So here's the question: is the OLPC XO XO computer a good tool for business users?
Take a quick look at the OLPC XO and you can't help but be impressed with the clever design, both technically and physically.
Hardware-wise, the OLPC XO has an AMD Geode LX-700 processor running at 433MHz, with 256MB of RAM and a 1,200-by-900 display. It's not a speed demon, but it's designed to sip electricity lightly, not to run an Unreal Tournament.
(After having an OLPC XO for a couple of weeks, I can say that it's clearly a great machine for kids. My son loves to play with it, using the Python tutorials and animation programs. However, I have had less success. Some of the issues I encountered are early teething pains, some are dissonance between the needs of an adult computer user and the included software, and some are physical problems with the system. The OLPC XO is not currently available outside the North America area, although it is possible to get one shipped to the UK. Purchasers buy one of the $100 - £50 - devices for themselves, and one for a child in the developing world.)
Good news, bad news
First, the good news. If you have to lug a laptop on to a plane, the OLPC XO should be the one you want. It is tiny compared to a traditional laptop, and it could actually fit on a coach-class tray table without it encroaching on to the user's stomach. Visit Business Advisor for reviews and the best deals on IT equipment for your business.
It is also more likely than "traditional" laptops to last an entire flight without needing a recharge. According to informal tests conducted by some early purchasers, the OLPC XO's battery lasted three and a half hours of normal use and, with the backlight off (which downgrades it to high resolution black and white), it lasted about five and a half hours. By the way, in black and white mode, with its swivel-screen, the OLPC XO makes a dandy e-reader.
There are some significant "buts", however. For one thing, the OLPC XO's current Linux image (which is based on Fedora Core 6) has a few bugs. Most notably, you can't attach to a WPA-encrypted wireless network (the passphrase fails). Although some users have posted work-arounds on the web, none of them worked for us. This supposedly will be fixed in the next image, so by spring it hopefully won't be an issue. By the way, this isn't an issue with public Wi-Fi zones, which typically don't use WPA.
We also ran into trouble trying to access our workplace Wi-Fi network with the OLPC XO. Like many corporate wireless networks, we need to open a web browser and log into get access.
However, our corporate network uses a nonstandard SSL certificate, and the OLPC XO browser doesn't have the option to accept such a certificate. Instead, it just displays a security violation error and won't open the page. The browser is XulRunner, the engine inside Firefox.
NEXT PAGE: software, media and our expert verdict
For the latest laptop reviews, visit Laptop Advisor.
Software, media and a big gotcha
The most useful included software applications for adult users are the word processor, browser and calculator. The OLPC XO's word processor is AbiWord, a Spartan but functional package. It can handle basic tables and embedded images but doesn't have a spell checker or support fancier formatting.
The most notable missing software on the OLPC XO is an email application.
Still, these deficiencies don't spook us because this is a Linux system, which means that at least a few of the initial 150,000 XO purchasers are likely to create new versions of the operating system more suited for adult users.
There is also some simple multimedia support using the OLPC XO's onboard camera and microphone; it should be possible to make it do video chat with the right software. Another potentially intriguing capability is XO's collaborative authoring mode.
OLPC XO systems on the same wireless mesh network (which is set up automatically whenever there's more than one XO around) can edit each other's documents. This could be a useful tool for collaborative tasks in a workplace, similar to Google Docs, but on a local scale. Visit Business Advisor for reviews and the best deals on IT equipment for your business.
However, the major problem for adult users is likely to be the OLPC XO's membrane keyboard, which obviously was chosen for durability reasons. The feel of such keyboards is highly unsatisfactory, particularly for adult-size fingers, which tend to slide off the keys rather than getting a definitive keypress.
And not surprisingly, the OLPC XO's keyboard is scaled for young hands; its size is awkwardly between a thumb pad and a real keyboard. It's better than a thumb pad, but don't expect blazing word-per-minute rates with it. The touchpad is serviceable if a little oversensitive.
So what's the verdict on the OLPC XO for business users? While many of the design goals for laptops used by children in emerging nations and for western business users are similar, the XO won't cut it in the corporate world, which, of course, isn't part of OLPC's ambitions in any case. As currently equipped, the software doesn't match the needs of business users.
More important, though, the keyboard won't work for most business users. Still, the device, and particularly its software, is likely to change quickly, so it's worth keeping an eye on the OLPC XO if you're looking for a durable, long-lasting and inexpensive laptop for the road.

Preaching the gospel of industrywide cooperation and marketing of the Broadway name, Jed Bernstein will get his first opportunity this month to sell his flock on the future.
In September, Bernstein took over as head of the Broadway trade group, the League of American Theaters and Producers. Their biennial meeting in Tampa, Fla. three weeks hence will provide Bernstein's first face-to-face not only with his New York constituents, but also with the presenters and producers who made the road the engine that now drives commercial live theater, out-pacing Broadway grosses 2-to-1.
Bernstein, an amiable 40-year-old former marketing executive, is clearly relishing the upcoming encounter.
"This industry has to reinvent itself or it's going to lose another generation of people; it's already lost one," he insists. "We have to go about expanding, building, leveraging the audience for live theater."
The road began to dominate North American grosses in the early '80s, prompting a major change in the way Broadway producers viewed their colleagues Out There. Suddenly, the League of New York Theaters and Producers became the League of American Theaters and Producers. And now, two-thirds of North American legit's $1 billion-plus annual take is earned on the road.
For Bernstein, the bottom line is "the commonality of experience" that links theatergoers throughout the country.
"There is a commonality between Carol Burnett and 'Les Miz,' he insists. "They both offer stature, excitement and spectacle. And each represents an experience unduplicatable – except as a live event."

I like it, although it's not my favorite sweatshirt. The fabric is a bit stiff after being dyed, the inside isn't fuzzy at all, and the zipper has this weird chipped/faded paint thing going on. I opted to chip the rest of the paint off of the zipper with a screwdriver. Also, regarding the sizing, I'm 5'10" and weigh 130, bought a large (color blue), and definitely wouldn't go any smaller than that. I usually prefer size small t-shirts and medium sweaters for a tighter look but not with this sweatshirt. It isn't a problem, just be aware of it when making your order.
Overall, a good sweatshirt in a nice color. Don't expect an amazing sweatshirt and you won't be disappointed.

I just bought one today, I got the electric blue.
It's definitely smaller than the flex fits, but it fits me fine.
My only concern is washing it. It fits me JUST right, and a little smaller would ruin it...

Hoody arrived in great condition EXCEPT the zipper pull looked like it had been used before???? The paint was all chipped off of white...Is this what a new garment is expected to look like. Otherwise, color is great and don't know if it'll shrink cuz I have not washed yet.

Its really cool and I really like it a lot. The fleece doesn't keep you that warm and the other downside is that mine has definetly shrunk with just once through the wash. Keep that in mind when purchasing otherwise its a great hoody

Before these even appeared on the website, I found a fluorescent yellow one in size XS at the store, but you guys decided not to go through with it and produce size XS? Why? I love that hoodie and I want it in these other colors, but size XS. Great decision, by the way, to dye the entire garment. It's a softer look and the all-over color is much more desirable than having the inside of the garment white like on the original highlighter items.
by Kaspar
October 31, 2008
It's a bit small - especially the length. My previous hoodies fit okay but this I probably should have ordered a size up. Shag Fleece Zip and California Fleece Pullover were my previous hoodies.
The color isn't as vibrant as it is in the picture either. I was expecting that though. It's still nice but just not like in the picture.
by Chris
October 28, 2008
I was a bit disappointed in this hoody. The size small was a lot smaller than the other hoodies i've bought, so perhaps you need to buy a size up. The color (electric blue) was a lot less vibrant than it seems to be in the pictures. If anything, I would consider it to be a denim color. Another disappointing factor was the feel of the hoody. It was definitely not as soft as the others. It also has a weird hint of a vinegar smell. It probably has to do with the dyes used, but I just feel like it was better in theory. I'm hoping the coral looks better...

No prizefighter in their right mind would accept floyd's deal?
There's no way this fight does less than 2 million, and they're probably going to charge 75 or 80 dollars for it. That's 150 million plus already... and 100% of that is going to go straight to floyd, and Pac makes a quarter of the money(a bs 40 mil), even though the money wouldn't be made without him?
That's like bringing food to the table and not being allowed to eat.
It's Floyd"s fans/hater + Pacquiao's asian mob that buys everything he puts out+ The casual fans who know this is the biggest fight in the world, and any sports fan who's ever ordered a ppv is going to order this one because they know it's the fight to see.
There's no way this does less than 2 mil, it might even shatter all expectations. It's too big for Floyd.

Why are you people still talking about this fight? It's already been established. Floyd doesn't want it. How long will you keep talking about it?

Then they can reject it and fight somebody else, making a fraction of what they would.
Pac is the only one who can make a claim for his worth against floyd, with that said i would hope that pac would say f it and take a lesser share, its still bookoo bucks to make the megafight finally happen.

He is giving Cotto a cut, now that he is his own man
Cotto sees himself getting as much as $30 million in the mega fight after the pay per view and gate tallies are in. This is from a 65/35 purse split with Mayweather, which is a pretty fair deal.

Not everyone is as blessed with cash to blow as Montgomery Brewster, the fictional minor-league pitcher played by Richard Pryor in the 1985 film "Brewster's Millions."
In the movie, Monty is tasked by an unlikely rich uncle to spend $30 million in 30 days, so he can earn a fortune of $300 million; he can't spend it on cars or jewels or houses, but only on things that aren't an "asset," that can't be kept to use and touch after the month is up.
The First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania didn't have $30 million to rain down on the region Thursday night, yet a few lucky people did get the opportunity to grant their favorite nonprofit group or organization funds that should be translated into some aspect of the good - rather than conspicuous consumption of cars or jewels or houses.

Fourth St., raised funds for the Foundation that will help support more endeavors such as "Raise the Region," held last March, which raised nearly $900,000 in donations for 160 nonprofits, and "Pearls With a Passion," recently founded by a board of 10 women who will grant at least $10,000 a year out of an endowment of $250,000.
Three attendees played "Grant or No Grant," a takeoff on Howie Mandel's "Deal or No Deal" summer game show hit from a few years back. The stakes? $10,000 of Foundation monies for the players' favorite nonprofit.
In the game, players picked boxes that represented cash amounts. The boxes they picked were eliminated from the board. A "banker" made offers to them of "walk away" cash after each round in exchange for their chance to hit that last lucky number.
Jack Humphrey was the first player. He started out by eliminating the $1,000 and $2,000 boxes on a board with $10,000 available as the highest number.
The offer came in: $2,500.
"May I negotiate with the banker?" Humphrey asked master of ceremonies Glen Smith II.
"His Pirates are losing, so you can't," Smith responded.
"I'm going to consult with my banker," Humphrey said. He whispered with his wife Karen for a moment, and came back to play on.
He next knocked off the Big One: $10,000.
The offer was $2,000.
Humphrey played on, again.
The next offer was $2,400, and Humphrey took that one, earmarking the funds for Liberty House, the temporary housing program for women and children that's based in the YWCA.
Mike Beiter followed, and though he didn't catch the rules of the game the first time around - it was noisy in the bar - he was the big winner: he sent $3,900 to the St. Anthony's Center kitchen.
"I was praying I would make the right choice, and it turns out I did," Beiter said.
Al Clapps then won $600 for the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra, and three numbers were drawn for $1,000.
Valerie Whyman won a grand for the American Red Cross; Dr. David Wascher gave his $1,000 number to the Williamsport Scottish Rite Foundation, and his wife Barbara won the last number. She gave her $1,000 donation to the YWCA.
Monty Brewster spent part of his $30 million running a campaign for New York City mayor candidate "None of the Above."
It was an "All of the Above" night for nonprofit charities in the Williamsport region.

Four years after the American liberation of the camp, Ayya Khema was able to emigrate to America, where she married and had a son and daughter. Between 1960 and 1964 she traveled with her husband and son throughout Asia, including the Himalayan countries, and it was at this time that she learned meditation. Ten years later she began to teach meditation herself throughout Europe, America, and Australia. Her experiences led her to become ordained as a Buddhist nun in Sri Lanka in 1979, when she was given the name of "Khema", meaning safety and security ('Ayya' means 'Sister').
She established Wat Buddha Dhamma, a forest monastery in the Theravada tradition, near Sydney, Australia, in 1978. In Colombo she set up the International Buddhist Women's Center as a training center for Sri Lankan nuns, and Parappuduwa Nuns' Island for women who want to practice intensively and/or ordain as nuns. She was the spiritual director of Buddha-Haus in Germany, established in 1989 under her auspices.
In 1987 she co-ordinated the first international conference of Buddhist nuns in the history of Buddhism, which resulted in the creation of Sakyadhita, a world-wide Buddhist women's organization. H.H. the Dalai Lama was the keynote speaker at the conference. In May 1987, as an invited lecturer, she was the first Buddhist ever to have addressed the United Nations in New York.
She wrote over two dozen books on meditation and the Buddha's teaching in English and German. In 1988, her book Being Nobody, Going Nowhere, received the Christmas Humphreys Memorial Award. Her other English language books include When the Iron Eagle Flies, Who is My-Self, Be an Island, Visible Here and Now and Come and See for Yourself: The Buddhist Path to Happiness. Some of her writings are available on-line at Access to Insight and her book All of Us, consisting of 12 dhamma talks, is available at Allspirit. Her autobiography, I Give You My Life, is a wonderful adventure story sprinkled with nuggets of spiritual wisdom.
Ayya Khema passed away on 2 November, 1997, at home at Buddha-Haus, in Germany.
English language Dhamma Talk audio tapes by Ven. Ayya Khema are available.
Proceeds from tape sales benefit her meditation center Buddha-Haus in Germany.
For a list of tapes from all U.S. retreats, please send $2 to:
Once a year, Cloud Mountain Retreat Center offers a month long meditation course with the instructions and dhamma talks from video tapes of Ven. Ayya Khema recorded during two of her last English language meditation courses.
Buddha-Haus in Germany has German language Dhamma Talk audio tapes by Ven. Ayya Khema. They also hold month long self retreats from March to October of each year utilizing German language videos of Ayya. Interviews and answers to questions are provided by the monastics at her monastery where the retreats are held. You can e-mail Buddha Haus at firstname.lastname@example.com.

... where visionaries, game changers, and challengers discuss business models
Hi BM experts!
I am thinking of creating an advanced yet simple to use (Excel) spreadsheet to do Business Model calculations. Something as easy to use as the BMG iPad app, but then in a spreadsheet you can use on your desktop. And with more advanced features and customizable by you if needed.
I have looked at the great spreadsheets people have already created and shared on Business Model Hub. These all are very advanced (and complex) and serve a specific need. I have not yet seen a "don't make me think" kind of spreadsheet that would be as forward to use as the BMC and the iPad app.
Would you be interested in a spreadsheet like that to do your business model calculations?
And would you be willing to pay a small amount to use the spreadsheet?
I have a lot of experience creating business case spreadsheets and financial benchmark models, also to be used by people who do not have the amount of expertise I (and you) have.
Thank you for your reply! (both positive and negative!)
Best regards,
Views: 50760
Hi Diderik,,
I'd be also very interested in such spreadsheet. Your idea of starting with small pieces and then building the details around it is exaclty what I'm after.
Great idea:)
Hi Martin,
Thank you for your reply! I will invest some time this week in building a first version of the spreadsheet. Would you be willing to review and help me in creating a nice and usable sheet?
Hi Martin,
I have created a first, *very* rudimentary version of the Business Model Calculator, just to get a feel of where it would be going. See attached file. It basically is a redo of the iPad toolbox, just to get the think process going. I have added the 'Online Training Website' example from the toolbox.
Do you think this is a direction of the spreadsheet you would like to see developed further?
Todo (for me!):
Best regards,
Hi Diderik,,
Great start!
Re Considerations:
Other than that, it's already a pretty good and helpful spreadsheet. The chart/graph sheet would be also very cool and here are some chart ideas from me:
Hi Martin,
Thanks for your help on the considerations!
I have created a new version with the Customer Segments and Revenue Streams now fully implemented. See attachment.
They use conditional formatting, so you see cells to complete popping up depending on the number of customer segments and revenue streams you entered in the canvas.
Some remarks:
Next step for me is the Cost Structure sheet, which will be a challenge! And then of course the Overview sheet and the Graph sheet. And then bringing all the numbers in a summarized way back to the Canvas sheet.
I am looking forward to your comments!
I would like to test the use of this tool as part of my exlporatin of Models for a new business venture.
I will, of course, give you any feedback and upload any a version with any changes to the template that I introduce.
Thanks for what, at first sight, seems like a really helpful and elegant tool.
Hi Diderik,,
Thanks for the update,, I'll use it in days to come for my new project and will give you any feedback I'll have. So far it is looking great:)
This may work ...but do keep in mind that there is interplay with all the 9 building block of the canvas.. but deep focus on revenue and cost structure. Other key points to consider is allowing hypothesis testing and producing "what if " scenarios based business assumptions or predictions.
Would like to see it myself, though I am using the ipad version and see marginal success.
Hi Karl,
Thank you for your reply. I understand you would very much like some advanced features as hypothesis testing and scenario's. Which you would probably be able to set up simultaneously and compare.
What do you mean by "ipad version and see marginal success"?
Success in what by whom?

Title: TEXAS FOLK MEDICINE: 1,333 Cures, Remedies, Preventives & Health Practices
Editor: John Q. Anderson, with woodcuts by Barbara Mathews Whitehead
Publisher: University of North Texas Press
Price: $19.95
If your extended family extends at least as far back as your grandparents, you probably have heard of some of these cures for what ails you.
You may not even have to go back that far. If you believe that a Mexican hairless dog, or Chihuahua, will cure your child of asthma, and swear you know of several children so treated and cured, then you, my friend, believe in the magical transference of disease "by transferring it to another person, to animals, to plants, and even to objects."
Who hasn't heard an older family member talk about removing warts by rubbing them, perhaps in the light of the moon, or even in broad daylight? The most bizarre cure is transferring warts to chickens "which are fed grains of corn that have been rubbed on warts."
These 1,333 cures were collected by Anderson's folklore classes at Texas A&M University between 1961 and 1966. They represent 133 Texas counties and all ethnic origins of their population. Along with magical transference, Texans used verbal magic, charms and amulets, and also called on the influence of the moon, while making use of color and ritualistic counting to achieve the desired effect, whatever that was.
The principal reason for all these odd - at least odd to us - use of spells, transference, etc., was healing. Doctors were scarce and Texas was large, so most early settlers had to depend on home remedies.
Many settlers of Scotch-Irish descent believed that certain people - usually but not always women - had the "touch," the ability to heal by the laying on of hands. But most remedies and treatments were practical and utilitarian, cures made from items found around the house. Flour, sugar, coal oil, and whiskey were the most common ingredients, along with asafetida, sulfur, Epsom salts, camphor and paregoric.
The roadrunner, so very Texan, was "boiled, baked, and fried and used as a cure for boils and as a preventive for snakebites." My personal favorite of the cures using common items likely to be found in any pioneer settler's home is the cure for acne: "Wash your face with a wet diaper." Equally appalling in the proposed home treatment of acne was the advice to cover the face at bedtime "with a poultice of cow manure." Then, in the morning "wash your face with sweet milk." These belong among cures guaranteed to frighten away any zit known to man.
Other cures, including one for arthritis, also involve the use of cow manure. The instructions to "place your feet in fresh, hot cow manure" are enough to insure that I, personally, would never again mention a joint pain. However, given the amounts of cow manure produced by herds of Texas cattle, it is only logical that the pioneers would find some medicinal use for it.
Under the heading of COUGHS is this remedy that my mother used and I have, too, under certain circumstances. "Drink a mixture of honey, whiskey, and lemon juice," the directions read. When my daughter, who is now attending college in Scotland, caught a severe cold, her Scots friends mixed up a potion of honey, whiskey, and lemon juice and expressed surprise when Megan told them her mother used that same remedy. "Well, then, lassie, is your mum Scots?" asked one. My daughter, who has a great future in the diplomatic corps, replied, "No, she's Texan."
As a remedy for modern feelings of superiority toward our forefathers, I recommend "Texas Folk Medicine." In the 1,333 cures, remedies and preventives, I guarantee any reader, regardless of race, creed, color, education, or wealth, will find at least one that he believes to be effective or that he has used.
Wearing a copper penny around your ankle to cure rheumatism is not much different from wearing a copper bracelet for the same purpose. And rubbing the juice of the aloe vera leaf on a rash is hardly different from applying a packaged ointment containing aloe vera juice. We've come a long way from rubbing a wet diaper on acne, but in other ways we still trust our folk medicine.

There are a lot of signs of how college baseball has changed through the years, and perhaps none is more glaring than how teams approach mid-week games, pitching-wise. For LSU, the norm has become to throw a patchwork quilt over 9 innings and use as many bullpen guys as possible.
Is it ideal? Probably not. But in an era of evolution when most teams don't have dominant starting pitchers stacked up, it's reality.
The No. 7/8-ranked Tigers (27-9-1) head into a truncated week on the road Tuesday when they head down I-10 to take on Southern Miss (21-16) at 7 p.m. at Zephyr Field in the 11th annual Wally Pontiff Jr. Classic.
The plan, as it has been in most mid-week games, will be for several pitchers to log an inning or two, beginning with freshman Alden Cartwright, a Baton Rouge native who gets his first career start.
"He's really just kind of the first relief pitcher," LSU coach Paul Mainieri said. "It will be chopped up among several pitchers."In a perfect world, we'd have three great starters and a great mid-week starter. It's pretty hard to find three great starters, let alone four."
Indeed, for the Tigers, there is a big enough challenge right now to establish a No. 3 starter on the weekend.
The ripple effect is that the third game of most SEC series has become a crapshoot -- to the point that those games are being pieced together with lots of help from the bullpen.
One of the dominoes in that scenario is that Mainieri and pitching coach Alan Dunn want as many as their 13 pitchers available for weekend duty, so stretching one out in a mid-week game isn't the most preferable MO.
All that said, the Tigers haven't faced a whole lot of mid-week challenges like this one, and when they have, the results haven't been great.
Louisiana-Lafayette and Tulane have been LSU's two toughest mid-week foes. The Cajuns beat the Tigers 4-1 in a game shortened to 5½ innings by rain and the Green Wave nabbed a 3-2 decision in 11 innings last month.
Now the task is to cool off a Golden Eagles' crew that has won each of its first five Conference USA series and 14 of the last 20 games overall. Southern Miss already owns victories over Missouri and Ole Miss -- yeah that Ole Miss team that is tied for second place in the SEC.
Last week, the Eagles went 11 innings against Mississippi State before falling 4-3 at Trustman Park in Pearl, Miss.
The similarities to LSU's visit to Tulane in late March are similar to Tuesday. The Tigers followed that junket to New Orleans with a road trip to Florida, where the Gators swept to give LSU its longest losing streak of the season.
After the game at Zephyr Field, the Tigers will jump on a sleeper bus for Memphis and a visit to the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital before coming back south to take on Ole Miss.
"This is an important game against a very capable Southern Miss team," Mainieri said. "They're going to be playing with a lot of fire and enthusiasm, and we want to get back on the right track."We've got to play better against hem than we did against Tulane, and when we go to Oxford, we've got to play better against them than we did at Florida."
And Cartwright will have a lot to say about that.
The right-hander has been effective in his brief and sporadic appearances with a 1.23 ERA in 14.2 innings. Cartwright has struck out 13 and walked only three and opposing hitters are swinging at a paltry .173 clip off of him.
"My goal is to go out and get 2 innings and get us off to a good start and then hand it off to the next guy," Cartwright said.
While that might sound like pure cliche , Cartwright's plan is exactly what Mainieri and Dunn are seeking.
Whether or not it merits a longer stint down the road doesn't factor into Cartwright's thinking. Like most of the members of the Tigers' pen this season, Cartwright doesn't have an etched-in-stone role, so that makes every appearance one where he has a rather simple focus and goal.
"I expected to pitch: That's what I came here to do," Whenever Coach gives me the ball, I want to go out there, throw strikes and get outs, and that's what I stay focused on doing."
Cartwright is part of a three-man freshman pitching crew that has swum upstream this season.
Other than the best of the best -- Aaron Nola qualifies -- freshman pitchers have found it tough to claim a prominent role for the Tigers the last few seasons.
This season, partially out of necessity and partially because they have earned it, Cartwright and Parker Bugg are major puzzle pieces in the bullpen and Jared Poche has been in the weekend rotation from the start of the season.
"What set us apart is that we came out here, threw strikes we didn't back to any hitters no matter who it was," Cartwright said. "We competed and got the ball over the plate and got outs without walking people."
And that's the kind recipe that would be a welcome site Tuesday as the Tigers embark on a tougher-than-usual week.

Moffat Oduor also connected for the USL Second Division leaders, nodding in a Jason Pelletier restart that pulled Harrisburg even in the 67th minute. Jeff Larentowicz buried a 19-yard direct in the 38th minute, staking the Major League Soccer side to a 1-0 halftime lead.
Chase Harrison made one save in goal for the City Islanders, who will meet MLS power and reigning U.S. Open Cup champ D.C. United in next Tuesday's quarterfinals. That game will be played at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Md., with a 7:30 kick planned.
Knighton finished with one stop for the Revs, who finished the game with just eight players. Kheli Dube and Mike Videira departed in the second half with injuries -- and did not return -- while Nico Colaluca was assessed a second caution in the 117th minute and ejected.
Injured and undermanned New England, which dressed just 15 players, made all three of its substitutions at the halftime break.
The City Islanders, who lost to New England 2-1 in the 2007 Open Cup quarterfinals, will entertain USL-2 playmate Crystal Palace Baltimore on Friday at Skyline Sports Complex.

Speaker Introduces New Idea of Stewardship
By Brett Wilson | March 26, 2013
Dr. Yarhouse spoke to students on Monday, March 18 at the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) monthly assembly.
Traditionally, the term "stewardship" is often used for describing the usage of time or financial resources in the lives of Christ-followers. However, Regent University's School of Psychology & Counseling professor, Dr. Mark Yarhouse, introduced an atypical application of stewardship at the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) monthly assembly: sexuality.
On Monday, March 18, Yarhouse challenged his audience of students and faculty members with the idea of "sexual stewardship." Yarhouse explained that just as they are taught to be faithful with their lives, careers and other gifts from God, believers must also learn to be mindful of their sexuality.
This is an idea, according to Yarhouse, that has been neglected. While Christians may be able to reconcile the idea that all good things come from God, Yarhouse said that there are several obstacles that hinder believers from holding themselves accountable for their sexual desires. The first is the projected Western civilized idea that the act of sex is something that is simply owned by an individual. "We don't own our sexuality," said Yarhouse. "The beginning of sexual stewarding is admitting that sex isn't ours; it belongs to God."
Yarhouse said that our culture's incessant portrayal of sexual acts as the highest form of self-actualization is something that further hinders this particular form of stewardship.
"While this makes it appear that we have a high regard for sexuality, it actually just reduces humans to nothing more than objects used for pleasure," said Yarhouse.
Yarhouse encouraged his listeners to dismiss what the world proclaims about sex, and turn their eyes to a Godly, holistic approach to sexuality. According to Yarhouse, sexual stewardship begins when believers acknowledge the procreative, uniting and instructive purposes sex provides.
Within the context of marriage, sexuality has the opportunity to provide Christ-followers with a true "reflection of transcendent reality," according to Yarhouse. Sexuality can be a reminder to believers that God is an intimate, relational being.
Though sexuality in the realm of a Godly marriage is certainly a positive thing, Yarhouse acknowledged that it is oftentimes difficult to keep stewardship at the forefront in a world that broadcasts such dissimilar ideals. Yarhouse suggested students, in order to foster sexual stewardship in their lives, commit to being prayerful about their desires, and ask their friends to hold them accountable to their relational choices.
"Sexual stewardship is a lifelong choice, and it doesn't end with marriage," said Yarhouse. "This must be actively pursued throughout your life." Held each month, the CAS assembly aims to provide students with the chance to hear from distinguished scholars in a variety of fields.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- Christians all over the world are lifting up their voices Friday in a wave of worship to God on the first "Global Day of Worship."
Starting at midnight Thursday, Regent University opened its doors to anyone wanting to join in the event. The purpose of is to unite believers through the adoration of the name of Jesus.
Organizers say it's important to take a day to show your love for the Lord without asking for anything from Him in return.
"How cool would it be to have one day where we didn't ask Him for anything, but we just loved on Him. I think that in itself is a beautiful concept," said David Edwards, creative director for Regent's International Center for Worship.
Regent University and many other Christian organizations and churches are holding special worship services Friday. Organizers said they believe the spiritual climate of the nations can shift as believers around the world unite in worship.
"I think it's awesome we can all get together as a nation and worship God," Regent student Janelle Young told CBN News.
"I'm here to worship God," declared Zachary Jones, another Regent student. "I'm really just looking for God to do something awesome in me and Regent in general."
"On a small scale, I hope that for each individual who's here, they get a true encounter with God today," Wendy Decker, director of Regent University's Performing Arts Center, told CBN News.
"And on a larger scale, I hope the world stage will see what we're doing here at Regent and throughout the world, just worshiping and lifting up God today," she added. Organizers are also using the Internet to unite worshipers. Each hour, the Global Day of Worship website will stream live services from a different time zone, creating a wave of worship to God. Click here to watch.
Next's year's Day of Worship is scheduled for December 12, 2012 -- or "12-12-12." For more information on today's events and 12-12-12, visit the Global Day of Worship website.

10 Best Online Education K12 Schools – Finding Yours
Online education has become one of the fastest growing ways to learn. It's a lot more than a fad or a trend, and today most experts agree that it's the future of education. It's not just for college students any longer, either. Today there are more online education options for K-12 grade students than ever before. Finding the right education options is easy since more than forty states offer online learning platforms for younger students.
One of the biggest issues, however, is finding the right school to attend. Some states actually have state-run programs, while other options are private in nature. Finding a great school is obviously the single most important part of ensuring that your child's online education goes the way you want it to. While you may need to live in a particular state in order to enroll in certain schools, other instances may not have restrictions. You'll have to do a bit of research to determine what the legalities are where you reside, but here are ten of the best options out there at the moment for online K-12 education. It's important to mention that these are private school options – your state may have its own offerings available to choose from.
- Penn Foster High School – This regionally and nationally accredited school offers high school diplomas entirely online.
- University of Miami Global Academy – Students here develop all the traits and characteristics needed to thrive in life thanks to the online classroom environment that is employed.

Through online web meetings and phone support, parents and students will work with qualified instructors to ensure a great education is provided. It has schools set up in nearly every state and offers one of the best online educations available.
Take a look at what these schools have to offer your child and you'll likely see that any of them are well worth enrolling your young students in. Online education is a great option, and one that's growing in popularity.

Catching hometown jamgrass legends Yonder Mountain String Band has become a Denver holiday tradition, as the band has performed New Year's Eve concerts here every year for the better part of the last decade. From electric performances at the Paramount Theater, a supporting/collaborative effort last year with Widespread Panic at the Pepsi Center, to multiple showings at the Fillmore Auditorium the band has routinely and successfu
There have been a number of fantastic albums over the past decade. Take this list at face value. The title sums it up perfectly. Here are simply 10 of the many albums I have enjoyed over the past 10 years. I have not bothered to number them. That would be foolish. I hate sources that number their lists. They are too absolute and definitive. If you have not had a chance to listen to these, I cannot urge you enough to go to your local record store and check them out.
For the entire first set of Furthur at the horribly oversold Hammerstein Ballroom on Wednesday night December 9th, I could not see the band at all. Lucky me.
Ah yes it is that time of year again. It is the time of year when critics put out their best of lists. There will be more lists this year with the new decade thing going on (shameless plug for my next article). Here is what I came up with for this year, enjoy.
Top 5 Albums that I listened to in 2009
1. Rural Alberta Advantage – Hometowns
2. Modest Mouse – No One is First and You're Next
While Phish was ending its musically-epic fall tour at John Paul Jones Arena, in Charlottesville, and while the world was being introduced to The Naked Guy, a new music venue prepared to greet guests for the 'Official Phish Aftershow, with Toubab Krewe."
Thanksgiving is a glorious time, here in Central Virginia. The tourist-laden leaf season is over, yet plenty of post-peak autumnal glory hangs around to be enjoyed, for a little while longer. Days can still be quite warm, and nights are deliciously cool and refreshing. Thanksgiving, football, and the coming Christmas season beckon. And suddenly there are also lots of indoor bluegrass shows, especially in Charlottesville.
2009 has been one helluva year, hasn't it?
We all started out in January, with the electric energy of a pending Inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States. And we also had the knowledge that Phish was gonna tour again. I for one, recall standing outside on NYE, and holding my hands wide to embrace what was 'next.'
For the past seven years Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger have given Umphrey's McGee fans an extra holiday treat: a holiday acoustic show. This year's sold out show was held at the Park West in Chicago. The proceeds of the show are donated to the USTORM (United So Together Our Reach Multiplies) Foundation which was co-founded by Bayliss.
