Good Bluetooth Earbuds
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
These Denon Exercise Freak Earbuds are good basic bluetooth earbuds. I have had two pair. First pair, the wire pulled out of the ear piece. My fault, don't catch the wire on anything, the wire will pull out easily (there is a warning about this in the manual), that pair lasted about two months. The second pair lasted about 18 months. The unit failed to accept a charge. Suspect the terminal became corroded (charge wire worked fine on other devices). I used the unit during indoor gym workouts, cardio and weights, and outdoors during various individual activities. Sound quality was good. The unit can be "pushed" into the ear canal but is uncomfortable. When worn like this it blocks other noise fairly well. I usually wore the unit resting on the ear canal, thus, noise would interfere. The unit would remain bluetooth connected for about twenty feet. Once beyond twenty feet If I moved the right ear piece toward the transmitting device it may pick up intermittently. Controls were easy to use and reliable. Microphone was effective for phone calls; always reliable. Rubber meets the road evaluation, I'm going to another brand because of it failing twice. I liked the Denon's but failure due to not taking a charge is disappointing.
Pros: Pleasant sound. Reliable on a daily basis. Comfortable if placed laying (not pushed in) on outside of ear canal.
Cons: Wire can be pulled from earpiece easily (clearly warned in the manual). Suspect charging terminal sensitive to corrosion.

Yankees Return to Winning Ways Against the A's
Yankees Bounce Back From Loss and Win to End Homestand
After a tough loss to the A's, the Yankees wasted no time in picking up another W. My fears about them going on a long losing streak are gone now. I think this team has a drive that I have not seen in years, and I know that they won't have a long bad stretch. Anyway, Sergio Mitrre made his second start for the Yanks yesterday.
Pitching Analysis: I thought Sergio Mitre was pretty good yesterday. The numbers don't really show it, though. He went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits and stirking out 1. But, I think he did well for the following reasons: He did not walk a batter, he did get into a few jams but was composed enough to get his double plays to get out of them, and Joe Girardi gave him a very early hook. He only pitched 5 innings, but he only threw 74 pitches. I guess after Pettitte's game Joe didn't want to take any chances. Still I would've let Mitre go at least 6.
Mitre gave up 2 runs in the first, but had an easy 2nd and a 3rd of only 4 pitches! In the 4th with 1st and 3rd with no one out, Mark Ellis hit a sac fly. After a misplay on a double play ball, Mitre does get a beautifully turned 6-4-3 double play to end the inning and the threat. In the 5th, Orlando Cabrera (the annoying guy of the series) leadoff with a single, and Mitre followed by getting a 6-4-3 double play, his 3rd double play of the day.
After allowing a single to Kurt Suzuki to leadoff the 6th, Girardi pulled Mitre for Coke, who gave up the lead with a 2-run homer for Ellis. Mitre couldn't get a win. Hughes pitches the 7th and as always was invincible, but in the 8th he ran into trouble. He got into a 2nd and 3rd 1 out jam, and Girardi called on Bruney to get 1 out. I was screaming at the TV when he did this. But despite his late struggles, Bruney got Mark Ellis to strike out. Yes! Then Mo came in for a 4 out save, and of course he got it! Overall, nice pitching. The pitchers were tough when they faced a jam, and for the most part got through the jams.
Defensive Analysis: The Yankees made Mitre's outing better by fielding all his grounders well. The 3 double plays they turned were a great help to Mitre. Although a double play was booted, it did not matter because in the play after it they got the double play. The defense was solid yesterday.
Offensive Analysis: Everyone in the Yankees lineup got at least 1 hit yesterday. Jeter at the top and Ransom and Melky at the bottom contributed a lot yesterday. After Mitre gave up 2 in the first, the Yankees bounced back with 4 in the bottom half of the inning, thanks to a huge bases clearing double by Cano, who usually struggles in those situations. In the bottom of the 6th, Melky walked and Ransom doubled, and the Yankees had 2nd and 3d with 1 out. The Yankees had the same guys on base in the same scenario in the 4th, but failed to push a run across. Not this time. Jeter single in 2 runs, and Tex singled in Damon later on.
The Yankees got contributions from everyone in their lineup yesterday, and got the big hit enough times to win. The pitching and defense were solid enough for the win as well. What more could we ask for? The heroes for yesterday's win were Derek Jeter for his go-ahead single, Robbie Cano for his clutch double in the first, and Brian Bruney. Although he only got 1 out, it was a huge out that put the ball in the hands of the greatest closer in baseball. And it was a huge out for his confidence. Great game yesterday. The Sox lost, so the Yankees regained the game they lost the other day. The Yankees have a tough road trip ahead of them, but they look to continue their hot streak and push away the Red Sox even more. Go Yanks!

You definitely started your blog at the right time. It looks like the Yanks will be making a run at the AL East title, but it's going to be a fight with Tampa Bay and Boston.
No, I have not made it to New York yet this season and I probably won't until next summer. I actually went to Philadelphia and Washington D.C. earlier this season.
15thtee: Thanks for getting back to me so soon! I have not been to the new stadium either, even though I live in NY. Times are tough. It's cool how you travel like that. I hope you are right about the Yanks and the AL East! Maybe we will get #27 this year! I appreciate you visiting my blog!
I got a chance to check out your blog. Very, very nice. Time for the Yanks to get on another role, big test for them on this road trip.
Thanks for checking out my blog.
I'm loving the way that we're kicking butt thus far in the 2nd half, it makes me feel wonderful about myself.
And Frankie is mine, back the F off girl!😄

Hey southernbelle!
I think you're right about Mitre. His performance looked sloppy but behind all that it wasn't so bad. Hopefully he just builds up experience and gets better with time. I think all we can ask for is what we've been getting lately: well-played, good old-fashioned small ball. It seems to be doing the trick. Let's hope we get three in Tampa!
Wow, you guys got us bad tonight. What a horrible start to the 3-game series. I was hoping for a nice tight competitive game. A blowout was not in the plans. We really need to take these next two or else our future in October is going to look mighty dim. Ugh.
*Thanks for checking out my page – as long as you're a Yankees fan, you're on my team. Last night we blew the Rays apart 11-4… and with Sabathia on the mound tomarrow, I expect nothing less than another slaughter. We're on fire right now…

Hello Mamas!
I have a mild lipase problem with my milk and have started pumping for my DD who is almost 2 mos old. I have another month at home before I go back to work to build up my stash and have a deep freezer for storage. Once back to work, I plan on pumping the previous day for the next day's use at day care.
1 - For those of you with this type of scenario, is there a preferred container that you found worked better at controlling the lipase than another? I guess my biggest question is whether the storage bags are sufficient or if glass is preferred for my stash in the deep freeze and for feedings to minimize the lipase affect.
2 - If bags are ok for long term storage, which bag have you found that worked better? I'm assuming that thinner plastic is more porous and would allow more oxygen contact for the lipase to do it's thing but does anyone have experience comparing the different bags out there?
3 - If glass bottles are better, what have you used? Is warming milk in a glass bottle (from refrigerated or frozen) too much more difficult than a bag?
To clarify, I have access to a full fridge at work and can transport my milk in a cooler for the next day's use so it wouldn't sit out at room temperature for any time at all.
Thanks everyone!

so I'm pumping this morning for I was really uncomfortable. So I look at my breast shield when I'm done and its scratched on the inside and causing a problem. So now I need one new breastshield (though I wouldn't mind having to buy 2)
My problem is that I like the hard ones. The soft membrane-y ones rub me the wrong way and cause soreness. Is it possible to buy just the shield part? Or do I have to buy a whole new kit? I'm in the normal breast shield size that comes standard with everything. I don't see them like this on babies r' us website. I need 2 pieces for my hands free set up!
duh - I'm using a medela symphony!

The words I am talking about are those from this weeks email, like hodiernal.
Would it be correct and proper to say "I had a hodiernal meeting", or a hesternal appointment?

Loc: this too shall pass
hodiernal seems to be mostly used in grammar/linguistics discussions; viz., the hodiernal past (tense), which is used to express same-day events.
hesternal, then, is used for yesterday's events, and pre-hodiernal for previous to yesterday..
but I found this cite from Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton (yes, *that Bulwer-Lytton): In enervating slumbers, from the hesternal dissipation or debauch. (or, he was trying to sleep off a hangover).

Debris lie near a building damaged by a jet's missile in Aleppo, Syria, on Oct. 23.
Syrian government forces killed at least 20 people on Tuesday when they shelled a bakery in a neighborhood under rebel control in the contested northern city of Aleppo, opposition activists said.
The dead included women and children, they said. Video footage, which could not be immediately verified, showed decapitated bodies amid scattered bread loaves.
Two shells hit the bakery, located in the eastern Hananu neighborhood, in the early afternoon, said Majd Nour, an opposition campaigner in Aleppo. Free Syrian Army fighters were guarding it at the time, he said.
Aleppo is Syria's biggest city and commercial hub. Rebels trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad launched an offensive to capture it last month and street fighting has taken place on a daily basis since then.
Shell lands in Turkey
Earlier in the day an anti-aircraft shell fired from Syria hit a health center across the border in Turkey's Hatay province but there were no immediate reports of injuries, CNN Turk television reported.
Turkey has bolstered its military presence along its 560-mile border with Syria and has been responding to gunfire and mortar shells hitting its territory from fighting between Syrian rebels and government forces.
Top 10 foreign policy issues facing a new president
The district governor's office said it had no immediate information on the incident.
Tension between the two neighbors, once close allies, is at its highest since Ankara turned against Assad last year over his violent crackdown on anti-government protests.
International mediator Lakhdar Brahimi, who ended a four-day visit to Damascus on Tuesday, has pushed for a ceasefire to mark the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha, which starts on Friday, hoping for a respite from daily death tolls of around 150.
For a fourth straight day, Turkey's border with Syria is the scene of intense fighting. NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin reports.
But he did not win a public commitment to a truce in his talks with Assad, and the rebels say there is little point to a ceasefire that cannot be monitored or enforced.
Report: Several killed in Damascus car bomb ahead of Syria truce talks
The Turkish military has fired on Syria 87 times, killing 12 Syrian soldiers and destroying several tanks in retaliation for Syrian shells and mortar bombs landing inside Turkey, the Turkish newspaper Milliyet reported on Saturday.
In Syria, fighting raged on Tuesday as rebels battled to seize an army base close to the main north-south highway. The rebels say its capture would be a big step toward creating a "safe zone" allowing them to focus on Assad's southern strongholds.
Battle for Wadi al-Deif
Assad is fighting an insurgency that grew out of protests 19 months ago and has escalated into a civil war in which 30,000 people have been killed. His overstretched army has lost swathes of territory and relies on air power to keep rebels at bay.
For two weeks Assad's forces have been tied down, battling rebels in Wadi al-Deif, east of the town of Maarat al-Numan. If the town fell to rebels, who already control northern border crossings to Turkey, Assad would be dependent on a single land route - from the Mediterranean port of Latakia - to supply his forces fighting to win back Aleppo.
"The battle started 11 days ago. At first we sent small groups to liberate (the base) and we were surprised by the resistance the regime forces showed," said Lieutenant-Colonel Khaled Hmood, a former army officer who defected to fight Assad.

A look back at the violence that has overtaken the country
"The regime is fighting fiercely. It seems that it doesn't care if it loses thousands of troops in order to keep its control over the compound."
Syrian opposition skeptical of 'feeble' ceasefire plan
Hmood said he believed around 400 soldiers were defending Wadi al-Deif - a group of barracks barely 500 yards from the Damascus-Aleppo road and backed by air power that Assad has deployed against rebels and residents of a nearby town.
The base may also be an important fuel depot, holding at least five million liters of kerosene in five underground bunkers, according to Hmood.
Anti-Assad activists say 40 civilians were killed in air strikes on the town last Thursday in one of the most intense air offensives of the Syrian conflict.
But its efforts to send military reinforcements have been repulsed by the besieging rebels. The last attempt on Sunday ended when four tanks were destroyed and the remnants of an army column had to pull back. "We have noticed that the best strategy is to hit its supply line. We have been harming the regime a lot by hitting the reinforcements it is sending."
The rebels still face challenges to take the base. Although they have acquired increasingly deadly arms, including artillery and anti-aircraft weapons, they have regularly complained that they have only limited supplies to keep up the fight.

Business Administration Courses – A Good Choice?
Let's face it, the current job market is tough. With this in mind, you need to get as many skills under your belt to show potential employers you are someone who will become vital to their company.
Business administration courses can offer you these skills, where you will learn the many aspects of what it takes to be successful in any company, with things such as critical and analytical thinking skills, financial management and human resources, being at the top of that list.
More about business administration courses
One of the key components of business administration courses is that you will develop a well rounded and broad understanding of the many different components which are major factors in any successful business.
Things such as accounting, risk management, leadership, and marketing, are all essential no matter what size the business is, and will be held in high regard for many years to come.
Online Management Courses Merits and Demerits
Online management courses have created a buzz among the students looking to go for the management courses. Few years back, students were left with only one options and that was the conventional management courses. Now, they have two options in their hands. The new option has made them a bit confused. Which way to go? Which one is better?
If you are looking to pursue any management course and you are not sure whether to go for the conventional course or the newly found online one, then you should carefully consider both the advantages and disadvantages of both of the options available in front of you. Then, you should pick the better one. As you almost know everything about the traditional management courses, so there is no need to spend time in researching about the same. However, you should look at the merits of online management courses and at the same time, you should not forget about the demerits of the same. Let us discuss about the merits and demerits of online courses.
Online Business Courses Is it for you
Online business courses are now available. There was a day, when these are just a dream. Now, one could read business online and at the same time could get the degree. However, the conventional business courses are there also. If you are looking to read business, then now two options are there in front of you. You could read business either online or offline. Which one you should choose?
How Online Business Courses are Different
Most of the people know about the offline or traditional business courses. However, very few people know about the online business courses. There is a big difference between these two; though, the final output is same in case of the both. No matter a student is reading business online or offline, he or she is going to get a degree at the end. The value of online business degree is exactly same to that of the traditional business degree. Then, what is the different?

Get your trademark and protect your business
Trademarking a brand is the primary step of protecting the success that you achieve with it. Most of the business owners have the misconception that registering a firm gives them exclusive possession of that name. Any other organisation can register a trade for the company of other clients. It is then owned by them and could help preventing you from using that name of the company.
Trademarking is always a smart choice. Trademarking of the business helps to protect its assets. It makes sure that you are the sole owner of your logo, business or property across the world, even in Australia. Trademark Australia can help you grow the confidence of a brand.
A trademark is a sign used to refer to as a 'logo' or a 'brand'. Registering the trademark gives you the exclusive right to use that mark for 10 years for that particular company. It is renewable every ten years thereafter. Anyone who owns a business, a firm or who is currently developing new services to market within 3 years from the date of the registered trademark is eligible to apply for it. Any company can challenge the other parties if they believe that you are not the rightful owner of that trademark.
Software to assist in trade surveillance
With the advent of computer technology and its advancement to what it is today, pilferage and malpractices are at its helm in on-line trading. The positive side of technology is misused in any field by unscrupulous elements, turning it to impact negatively and computer technology is no exception. To check this scenario, the regulatory authorities and market experts in this area have initiated and introduced many control systems. A surveillance in this direction is thus in place on marketing and trading.
Not long ago, there have been cases of 'market crash' caused by high-frequency traders in different parts of the world. People are left wondered as to what happened to the market when 'flash crashes' are often heard of. The entire trading in the stock market comes to a standstill by applying a term called "spoofing" and "layering" and other associated malpractices.
Spoofing means a bid or an offer on a stock with intent to cancel before its execution. Layering is when a trader raises multiple orders that he does not want to execute. Therefore, spoofing and layering in a layman's eyes is jacking up the price of a particular company share by raising massive sale order. The market price is ballooned up by raising sale orders of this share for a higher price. The unusual price fluctuation will make the traders bring down the original price considerably low and at this time the person who raised sale orders will buy huge quantity of shares to his benefit. He will at the same time immediately cancel the sale orders resulting in a plunge in the market. Such upheavals would impact the market and a fast crash can occur easily.
Market and trade surveillance demands sophisticated technology to alert the market and its users in such situations. Many software companies developed remedial software to detect this unlawful activity. This software includes the following alerts designed to meet the needs of introducing and executing brokers:

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
This is the place for them. Feel free to discuss how little they resemble the manga or whatever.
Unsure of what is being searched for?
Here's an example:

This thread got little love... I'll spruce it up a little.
Guidelines: Shit must be in the process of going down, or about to go down. In a pinch, I can accept stuff going on AFTER shit has gone down.
The point is, there must be shit, and there must be downward movement. If it's awesome I won't care about the admittedly lax rules.
Here's stuff:
This is a very "You killed my father. Prepare to die." sort of pic, isn't it...

I hope you get the gist of it.

How do you feel about towns using the Department of Defense Surplus?
In recent weeks, Long Hill Township and Watchung Borough passed ordinances allowing their police departments to be able to apply for surplus equipment from the Department of Defense. Long Hill recently procured a Humvee to use in times of flooding, which Watchung states as the reason they are getting into the program. However, in cities around the country, police forces have used the program to obtain military gear, such as weapons and armor.

Two pulsating rings of light, a cool futuristic design & LEDs curving around your wrist, Kisai Seven brings an ultra-modern look to what is essentially a regular watch.
It may look unconventional, but those two rings point to the hours and minutes just like a normal wrist watch making it easy to read at a glance.
The inner ring is the hour hand and the outer ring is the minute hand. There is a dark void section in each ring that literally points to the time. The lights trailing off around the wrist are not just for show either, they help you pin down the exact minute by lighting up in segments.
The watch itself has a hard plastic case which is curved to fit over your wrist. The strap section is polyurethane with a seamless butterfly clasp at the back. Adjusting the strap is quite clever. You simply cut the polyurethane strap down to size to fit your wrist perfectly. You can do this at home if you have some simple tools handy, or of course you can ask your local jewellers or watch shop to help. This means it is suitable for both small and large wrists.
Kisai Seven lights up for 10 seconds when you press the button to reveal the time. There is a subtle pulsing effect as the light gets brighter and then fades out.
There are also three user selectable light up options to choose from:
1) Continuous: the watch pulses the time constantly.
2) Every 30 seconds: the watch lights up to show the time and fades out every 30 seconds.
3) Every 5 minutes: the watch lights up to show the time and fades out once every 5 minutes.
Or, you can turn the automatic light up feature off completely.
This watch design connects to your computer to charge via USB cable (included). A full charge takes about 3 hours & should last about a month on standard mode. The battery can be recharged more than 300 times.
If you set the continuous light-up mode the battery will drain more quickly but it's a great mode to have active when going out to a bar or club. You can of course top up the battery the following day.
In February 2010, Tokyoflash opened its Design Studio Blog to showcase its concept designs and request ideas for new watch designs from fans. The idea for Kisai Seven was submitted by Scott Galloway and was inspired by one of his favorite films, TRON. Originally called 7R0N on the blog, it was voted as one of the most popular designs by fans. This is the third concept submitted by a fan to become reality.

In the world of humor, fathers have become the fail-safe target.
In television comedies and commercials, they are regularly depicted as out-of-touch with their families — and reality.
They are stubbornly behind the times, playing air guitar to old Styx 8-tracks instead of quietly nodding to the beats of Finger Eleven fed through ear buds and an iPod.
Is Dad cool? Only if you darn kids were playing with the thermostat again …
The equation seems to be "Dad + Idiocy = Comedy."
It wasn't always this way.
TV fathers used to be real patriarchs — Jim Anderson ("Father Knows Best"), Andy Taylor ("The Andy Griffith Show") and even Mike Brady ("The Brady Bunch") were sources of insight and inspiration for their families.
Today's TV dad is epitomized by buffoons such as Homer Simpson ("The Simpsons") and Peter Griffin ("Family Guy").
Indeed, as TV critic Chuck Barney wrote last week: "(I)s there no middle ground? Over the years, the pendulum swung too far in the other direction, and somewhere along the way, Cliff Huxtable ('The Cosby Show') was replaced by Al Bundy ('Married With Children'). Now, the typical sitcom dad is a doughy, good-natured but dimwitted goofball."
Much like today's political landscape, the realities of fatherhood exist closer to the middle than the edges. Dads may not have all the answers, but the good ones provide for their families even as they are mocked by those they support.
The words of reknown pianist Charles Wadsworth show that Dad's plight has been an enduring one:
"By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong."

Nothing worse than listening to someone that knows NOTHING about a sport go on and on and about the sport as if they knew wtf they were talking about.
Lagrecca is so gayyyy broooooo wowwwwwww.
lupica sucks too
listening to Mike Lupica and Don LaGrecca right now and Don is freakin pathetic. Just admit that you didnt watch the knicks last nite i would have more respect for you, instead hes throwing out these generalizations because he has nothing substantial to contribute....
case in point, Lupica asks him what did JR do when they got the steal on that fast break at the end, and he goes, he shot it for the win! NO! He pulled it back out and they called a time out.
Lupica says the knicks took alot of 3s last nite and they are taking more than they did when Dantoni was here....Don's response "we'll they better be making them because if they dont, they're in trouble", really? Thats all you got to say about that?
He and Kay are both ****in pathetic who know NOTHING about ball , NOTHING! They jumped on the bandwagon last year when Lin got hot and now they're doing the same cuz NYK are doing good. Wish we had some real knowledgeable sports talk hosts in the NYC area, someone who was passionate about ball.
Even tho i disagree with half of what Stephen A Smith says, at least he sounds passionate when talks basketball. Cant say the same about his wanksta and Michael Kay who is the biggest fraud around.

For Kay during Yankees season I get ignoring a lot of other sports.
These other guys have no excuse. It's literally their job to watch the Knicks.

Knicks will never get that kind of attention via radio.
David Wright can pull his vagina and be on the DL for the season, that will get more buzz than Knicks winning a playoff series.
It's always been that way. From Steve Somers to Joe Benigno to Craig Carton to the worst ever, Mike Francessa....these guys don't know **** about basketball and don't have any interesting feedback.
WFAN needs a basketball personality...not everyone cares about hockey or baseball like that. I'm a Yankees fan born and raised, but the whole MLB format is boring as ****.
NBA is exciting to follow, you don't know who's going to have a breakout game, season ending injury, what bs the evil ref's are going to do to screw a team, waaaaaaaaaaay more highlight plays than football and baseball put together.
If I wasn't a boxer, I would be a basketball player. It's just a more stimulating sport.
I agree. I tune in to podcasts for my NBA fix, specifically The Basketball Jones. That's how I get my news.

i try to tune in to you guys on a stream over here and every time i listen its always New York Jets. Is it always like this? Its ESPN New York or something. Knicks never get much coverage and when they do its like 5 mins and then its back to the Jets or something else
yea its pretty much like this, or they'll sprinkle in the usual baseball talk in december. What i have an issue with is how they try to sound knowledgeable and its so freakin blatant that they dont know what they're talking about. All Kay does is read the morning papers headlines and regurgitate what the guy before him said. Fkin clueless, i cant stand his snobbish ass! As far as Francessa, i tuned him and the entire WFAN out years ago, they're stuck in the golden years of the 90s yankees, and the lousy mets.
honestly, this is just lazy work, these sloppy ****s just do lazy work.
Stephen A Smith and Ryan Rucco generally split their time pretty well, mostly basketball/football with a bit of baseball thrown in.
Entertaining to listen to even if Stephen A can be f**king annoying at times
The only time he made the Knicks the leading topic of his show was during Linsanity. He sounded like one of those people who knew nothing about Jeremy Lin until he started to make headlines.

Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Its always nice when Alan Hahn gets time on ESPNNY radio. At least the man knows ball and seems to school whoever hes with whenever he gets some burn. Rothenburg is by far the worst tho that guy will ramble over a Rex Ryan quote for hours before saying how solid the Knicks are playing.

Today is National Cheeseburger Day and one man is celebrating by doing what he does six out of seven days a week: he's eating a Big Mac.
Dennis Rosenlof of Salt Lake City, Utah, has eaten roughly 12,000 McDonald's Big Macs over the last 30 years, reports KSL. He eats his first burger at the same time every day, around 10:30 a.m, which is when McDonald's stops serving the breakfast menu and starts serving Big Macs. Overall, Rosenlof consumes 10 Big Macs every week. His only Big Mac-free day is Sunday, when he eats his wife's cooking.
For the skeptics who may wonder about the health ramifications of eating so many Big Macs, Rosinlof claims he is in great health. The 64-year-old's cholesterol level is under 200 and even if he eats two Big Macs a day, he is still consuming fewer calories than the average man.

Roundtable II: SOCIAL JUSTICE AND PEACE ACTIVISM
Participant: Linda M. MacCammon (Religious Studies): "American Exceptionalism, Corporate Capitalism, and War": The presentation examines the relationship between these three fundamental dimensions of American life and considers how the dynamics that foster war might be changed. Students from Professor MacCammon's Morality in Business class will also be participating.

Bluhm (Political Science, University of Rochester) and Robert Heineman (Political Science, Alfred University): "What Is Prudential Pragmatism?"; James Moran (Philosophy, Daemen College): "Gender Equality: Some Issues"; Barb Lowe (Philosophy): "Out of the Shadows: A Right to be Perceived and the Undocumented Immigrant Worker"; "David White (Philosophy): "Philosophy Speaks Truth to Power."
Roundtable IV: Fool for Christ: The Story of Dorothy Day: A film by Barbara Rick, written by Donald Yonker & Sarah Melici, and performed by Sarah Melici.
Dorothy Day, one of the most dynamic and beloved religious figures in modern history, is brought to life by Sarah Melici in this acclaimed one-woman play. Born in Brooklyn in 1897, Day made her mark as a journalist, social activist and a devout convert to Catholicism. Co-founder of the Catholic Worker Newspaper/Movement in 1933, Day is perhaps best known for her long battle for peace and justice on behalf of the poor and homeless. She died in 1980. Her work continues today around the world in over 180 Catholic Worker Communities protesting injustice and violence in all forms.
Roundtable V: SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EDUCATION
Jeff Liles (Ralph C. Wilson School of Education) and students and faculty from East High School, Rochester, New York: Introducing the Rochester Participatory Education Research Collaborative (RPERC). In this session, we will present a collaborative research model that is an alternative to more traditional research models. In this model, college professors, high school teachers, and high school students from an urban school work together to research questions that are generated by the students about their own educational experiences. The students will present some of the work they have done over the last year on the topic of college readiness. The catalyst for this research was the state report that of the students who make it to graduation in the Rochester City School District (only 48%), only 5% are "college ready."

- Title
- Carbon emissions from domestic appliances
- Author(s)
- Newton, Peter W.; Tucker, Selwyn
- Abstract
- As Australia and other countries redouble efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is important to appreciate not only the total emissions challenge, but the potential for carbon mitigation in each sector of the economy. The Australian residential sector accounts for approximately 9.5 per cent of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions and offers significant opportunities for mitigation, to which households are largely oblivious. These opportunities include an energy efficient building shell that minimises the need for artificial heating and cooling, energy efficient built-in appliances and plug-in appliances, and low or zero emission local energy generation. This paper focuses on plug-in appliances and identifies strategies for minimising greenhouse gas emissions as a function of decisions made on the number and type of appliances purchased for use in dwellings. This paper is one of a series of companion papers which flow from a study by the authors into energy use and carbon dioxide emissions in residential buildings and local and distributed energy sources capable of winding back the carbon footprint of dwellings.

This other CC with Tony just doesnt seem to know how to fix it, kind of like the CC in NNS who cant figure it out.
Tony is in the Chase anyway and too bad for Ryan, but as they like to say--ITS Nascar-- but IT sucks now & then. Danica finished the entire race in one piece so thats an achievement in itself? Switched the race off & on for a few hrs due to boredom as it was a terrible boring race-- till the end anyway.

HH I so totally agree with you! I just get sick when I think where Darian could have gotten Ryan had he just been moved over. But maybe Darian thought of it as a demotion of sorts. Anyway, doesn't matter cuz it didn't happen.
If Ryan stays with SHR he had better have a new CC for next year! That's all I have to say. LOL
midwesternsmoke wrote:Sh*t....I remember last year about this time, there were LOTSA folks calling for DG's head because Tony hadn't won a race all year. Then when Tony wins....it becomes a mistake to let DG go. I'm not quite sure I follow the rationale there. I think people are gettin' too wound too quickly. If Steve Addington can guide a brash, vocal, at times bitchy 23 yr old to 8 wins in a single season, I do believe he'll be able to handle a 41 yr old 3 time Champ. All I gotta say is......Chill out folks, the party hasn't even started yet. The 1st 26 races are dress rehearsals. Juuuuuust remember, the 14 team still has all the notes and tech data from last year. We'll see in a few months.....won't we??

Every year, winter storms leave carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning deaths in their path. As winter's coldest months arrive, with temperatures in some parts of the United States dipping below freezing, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) are sounding the CO alarm.
"January and February are prime months for winter weather-related power outages," said Acting CPSC Chairman Nancy Nord. "Tragically people are dying from carbon monoxide poisoning while trying to keep warm. Don't let this invisible killer into your home."
"The U.S. Fire Administration is pleased to join with the CPSC in sounding a national carbon monoxide alarm," said Acting U.S. Fire Administrator Charlie Dickinson. "There is no group of men and women in this nation that are as keenly aware of the deadliness of carbon monoxide, than firefighters. During times of lost power, it is our nation's firefighters who respond to the sad results of carbon monoxide poisoning when people use gas generators, camp stoves and charcoal grills in confined spaces. The USFA joins with all firefighters in reminding all residents of this nation to follow the CPSC recommendations below to protect themselves against exposure to carbon monoxide."
Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless poisonous gas. CPSC estimates about 140 people die each year from unintentional exposure to carbon monoxide associated with consumer products.
Consumers die when they improperly use gas generators, charcoal grills, and fuel-burning camping heaters and stoves inside their homes or in other enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces during power outages. They also die when furnaces that have not been professionally and annually inspected leak CO. CPSC staff is aware through police, medical examiner and news reports of at least 32 CO deaths related to portable generators from October 1 through December 31, 2006.
Reducing CO poisonings and deaths is a priority at CPSC. Yesterday, in an effort to stop consumers from using gasoline generators indoors, the Commission voted to require manufacturers to place a prominent "danger" label on all new generators and their packaging.
CPSC and USFA urge consumers to take these important steps to protect themselves against CO poisoning this winter.
- Never use portable generators inside homes or garages, even if doors and windows are open. Use generators outside only, far away from the home.
- Never bring a charcoal grill into the house for heating or cooking. Do not barbeque in the garage.
- Never use a gas range or oven for heating.
- Open the fireplace damper before lighting a fire and keep it open until the ashes are cool. An open damper may help prevent build-up of poisonous gases inside the home.
- Have home heating systems (including chimneys and vents) inspected and serviced annually by a trained service technician.
- Install battery-operated CO alarms or CO alarms with battery backup in your home outside separate sleeping areas.
- Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. If you suspect CO poisoning, get outside to fresh air immediately, and then call 911.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at

#NextFrame Takes
Over the World
No one knows where ideas come from. This idea was the starting point for Rafael Grampá when creating the story of 'Dark Noir', the acclaimed graphic novelist's first 3D animated short film. Starting with imagining a 'world of ideas', where unseen powers control one's creativity, Grampá filled this world with a mysterious cast, who are looking for ideas.
The film's story touches at the heart of Absolut's Transform Today campaign that Grampá has been featured in since launch. The goal of the campaign is to inspire people to realize the power of their own creativity, and encourage them to bring it to life. The brand believes that ideas are within us all; we just need to pull them out and create something.
Rather than just create an ad campaign with inspirational messages, Absolut wanted to put these ideas to practice, so they created #NextFrame, an online collaboration with Grampá that sourced ideas all around the world to help co- create the story within his 'world of ideas'. The 'Dark Noir' short film is the product of this collaboration.
The way it worked is that Grampá shared different segments from his storyboards, and allowed Facebook users to finish the final frame with their own idea. Grampá would choose his favorite suggestion and then then worked around the clock to add the idea into the film before the next point in the story for when fans would add input.
The result was a truly international collaboration with thousands of suggestions from over twenty countries. The final film was then premiered in Berlin to an audience of international media. Be sure to check out the short-film, but to fully appreciate it, watch the making-of film as well.
