Poor Quality
By Mike
from Grand Junction, CO
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Comments about Northwave Extreme Tech Mountain Shoes:
The buckle on the right shoe tore off after about 8 rides. Sent it back and customer service sent me another pair of shoes. Tried them on and notice that the buckle on the right shoe was tore. Not happy at all. They have now sent me another shoe. Have wore it once with not problem yet.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Avid Cyclist
They're beautifully made but run big (I thought). Other reviewers said that they ran small and to size UP but I found the opposite to be true. If you got the right size I think they would feel great and last a good long time. Compared to the Giro Privateers that I need to replace these are waaaaay fancier with much greater attention to detail, probably even better made than Sidis.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Light, Stiff, Priced Right
By DG
from Nebraska
See all my reviews
This is my second pair of NW bike shoes. I purchased a pair for road bike and have enjoyed them, primarily because I could cinch them snugly around my skinny feet. I ride MTB much more frequently struggle to find proper fitting shoes, especially in the width. Velcro and ratchet enclosure systems on nearly all brands do not provide enough length to enable snug fits. NW road shoes are excellent. These NW MTB shoes provide stiff power transfer, but not excellent fit. Their ratchet system differs vastly from the velcro enclosures of my NW road shoes and that is why. SO if you suffer from skinny feet like me, do try NW shoes, but choose the velcro strap systems only, not the ratchet system closures.
great product great nashbar price

fit well - easy to adjust on the fly - seem to shed the elements pretty well - cannot judge durability yet, too new, but other Northwave shoes have lasted

About Me Casual/ Recreational
shoes get a 4.5 as they are a bit small for stated size. Nashbar gets a 5.0+ for immediately exchanging for 1 size larger (46 to a 47). although a MTB shoe I use as a "walkable" road bike shoe. very comfortable, very light, best price.
Another vote that shoe size is off
By Hiro
from Sac, CA
Another comment from a longtime NW user. I have 8 pairs of NW shoes,... all the same size MTB and Road. I normally wear 43EU shoes with Superfeet. These were just barely tolerable with normal socks and NO insoles at all in 43. I ended up ordering a full size up at 44. Toe box is not as large either as std NW shoes are, fits more like a Sidi in terms of width.
Great shoe
By Zan
from Katy, TX
Very good shoe with excellent closure system. True fit and comfortable right out of the box. Insert is a little light given the quality of the shoe although easily remedied.
Incorrect EU sizing chart
By AaronJ
from Oswego, NY
After receiving the shoes I had to go one EU full size larger then what the sizing chart showed me. Nashbar was excellent and very helpfull with guiding me through the return process and did not charge me any extra shipping/handling fees. Other then that little blip all is good.
Great Mountain Bike Shoe!
By Paul S.
from New York, NY
I'm size US13 and size 47 was the right fit. 46 felt too tight...not snug, but tight! 47 allows the shoe to remin snug and minimize movement of the foot while pedaling. The latching mechanism is quite nice...fast and lots of adjustments. The top strap can be shifted to allow it to sit right on top of the angle. The rotory lace allow for fine tune adjustments as well. I wear these exclusively for cycling class (I teach parttime) and they exude professionalism. I reserve my lesser quality Shimano's for outdoor riding.The sole is unbelievable stiff and I did notice an uptick in power generation while pedaling. Not that it was 'easier' to pedal, but I felt my pedal stroke was more produtive using the same energy. The shoe breathes well but I still recommend using odor balls when not in use. My only concern is if the laces were to tear as I don't see a way to replace them...however they are made of some super strong fabic used in sailing so I expect them to last for a while. I got 4 years out of my entry level Shimano shoes (size 49 in those)...hope to get at least 4 years out of these terrific shoes.

Backstage Beauty Files: Fall 2013
Here's the thing. Ever since braids made their comeback on the red carpet circa 2009, the humble style has been getting increasingly more complicated. (Fishtail! Waterfall! Milkmaid!) But as Diane Kruger demonstrates, an off-the-cuff version still has its charms. Once you've woven the braid, do widen and rough it up by pulling on either side with your fingertips.
For Jennifer Lawrence's irresistibly piecey sideswept style, Mark Townsend created a conventional French twist, but rather than tucking up the loose ends, he pulled them over one shoulder. "It's sexy, romantic, and Bardot-inspired," the hairstylist told us. "And because the hair isn't hidden away, it's a compromise between a ponytail and a down 'do."

- Title
- Occupational prestige perceptions of nursing and physiotherapy: an international survey
- Author(s)
- Turner, Patricia A.; Whitfield, T. W. Allan
- Abstract
- In contemporary society a person's social position, level of education and intelligence are assumed from an occupational label. Furthermore, an occupational label is normally accompanied by economic rewards and privileges commensurate with its status. For such reasons the labelling of an occupation as a profession assumes considerable importance to its members. Termed occupational prestige assessment, this is a well researched area within the social sciences. Within this framework a series of studies was undertaken in four countries of the perceived occupational standing of nursing and physiotherapy. This was motivated by both the relative neglect of these occupations within this research domain and their clear intent upon achieving professional status. The research method consisted of rating these occupations against ten others on six dimensions that are broadly indicative of professional standing. The dimensions were levels of income, education, responsibility, usefulness, social standing and the proportion of women. A cross-cultural sample was obtained involving a total of 1671 respondents from England, Australia, South Korea and Hong Kong. The results reveal that nurse was consistently perceived in the four countries as a largely female occupation with high levels of usefulness and responsibility; though with low income and only an intermediate social status, comparable to police constable. The position of physiotherapist was more complex. Physiotherapy was not seen to be female dominated and was perceived to have higher income levels. While in Korea and England it occupied a similar social position as nurse, in Australia and Hong Kong it approached the positions of solicitor and architect, placing it on the periphery of the entry point to the 'big four' professions of judge, doctor, solicitor and architect. As encouraging as this may seem for physiotherapy, the gap is considerable before entry into this exclusive professional domain. It is notable that both nursing and physiotherapy have progressed considerably to university-based education and specialisation. Unfortunately, and especially for nursing, public perceptions appear not to have kept pace with these developments. Both nursing and physiotherapy need to engage in further professionalisation---accompanied by judicious marketing. These are tasks for their professional bodies.

Over the course of the last week, I've received the same "PG&E Statement" email from three separate viewers. It's interesting in that PG&E is Pacific Gas and Electric which operates on the west coast, providing utility services primarily in California.
That's a long ways away from Wisconsin, leading these folks to worry that people would see this bill for "$559.7" and confuse it with MG&E, Madison Gas and Electric, which provides the same service here in south-central Wisconsin.
While we were out shooting a story with Dr. Marty Smith, who was one of the people who received this scam email, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection issued a consumer alert warning residents about this scam. (http://datcp.wi.gov/news/?ID=1005)
MG&E is aware of this as well and states on its website that it "will not ask for payment or personal information via email." (http://www.mge.com/safety-outages/home/mge-employee-id.htm)
We'll have more on this story on News 3 at 6, but for now, here's the email in question posted below.

Well, THAT Took Me By Surprise!
Call it a Christmas miracle.
As I was reading a column in today's paper that the Phillies were "showing interest" in signing Cliff Lee, hubby came in the door and said that the Phils had actually signed him. "Yeah, right", I thought. So I checked the news on my handy cell phone (what did we ever do without them?), and saw that it was so. And for fewer years and less money than either the Yankees or Rangers were offering! With Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels, and now Lee, the Phillies' starting rotation will be a force to be reckoned with next season.🙂
It was only last year around this time that I was lamenting Cliff's departure to Seattle via trade, and wishing there was a way to clone him.
Well, I don't need to wish any more! Happy Ho-Lee-days, everyone!
6 Comments
It must be fun to be a Phillie fan the last four or five years. Congrats on reacquiring Lee, and that rotation is crazy good.
Merry Christmas is right, Sue! You got Cliffy under your tree this year. Congrats and enjoy that awesome rotation!
I did not believe it this morning…total shock. Took a good 15 minutes to get my jaw off the floor…WOW.
Congrats, Sue, on getting your Christmas Cliff Lee present!😉
I was telling people on our Red Sox blog (even back in Oct.) to not be surprised if Lee were to return to Philly. I don't think he wanted to be traded away in the first place, any more than you wanted to lose him. If he wasn't going to re-sign with Texas, I thought Philly was a logical place, and I am happy for you guys that you got him! Your rotation (with or without Blanton) is pretty darn good now (I think that was part of the attraction for him, also)! And hey, you have another heiny to check out again!😉
Take care, Sue, and have a good Christmas/ holiday!
Some of us had the feeling that Philly was the mystery team after watching Werth pack his gear for Washington. But Lee made a nice statement that showed it is not always about the $$$ by going back to a team he felt the chemistry and solid chance to again gain a ring.
The present Phillies rotation reminds me of a Atlanta foursome not so long ago that could just dominate and take names this year.
Thank goodness the Rays do not have to see Philly after Spring Training this year.
Again congrats on getting the catch of the year just in time for the holidays.

Charter's Rickert - WDEL Female HS Athlete of the Week
By Sean Greene Wednesday, September 12, 2012 - 11:47pm
VIDEO: Interview with Amanda Rickert
Wilmington Charter cross country runner Amanda Rickert is this week's WDEL Female High School Athlete of the Week.
Amanda won the Lake Forest Invitational in Felton last Saturday, running 35 seconds faster than in the same race a year ago despite high humidity. She credits her success to her summer conditioning.
"Good as it is to get out of the heat, sometimes I would try to run in the heat to get used to it. I ran in the summer in the heat, and I drink a lot of water."
Rickert won her race by 38 seconds, but says the crowd helped push her faster.
"You just have to pretend someone is right behind you. Honestly people were yelling at me 'she's right behind you' even though she was 30 seconds back, and that was definitely helpful.
While she's glad she's running now, Amanda gave a humble reason for why she entered the sport of running.
"In 3rd grade I started running, but I think that was just because I'm uncoordinated, so that's why I started running because I couldn't do anything else (laughs)."
Amanda says some of her best running inspiration has come from former teammate Julie Macedo, who won her first race as a freshman at the University of Florida last month.
"You need to work your hardest. Even the little things count like doing abs and exercises after, all those things will help you. She was very dedicated and determined and that was good to learn from her."

The Beauty of the Fish...
Another example of why some of us fish....because the fish are just so darn pretty.
I'm not promoting this guy because he's paying me, or giving me anything...I don't even know him other than online - and the fact that he's a fellow member of the Outdoor Blogger Network that I was telling you guys about a while back. But his watercolors are very nice and also very affordable. He'll even do custom, commissioned work for around $100 a painting or so, depending of course on what you want...
Here's a link to his website full of wonderful watercolors of the fish we love: http://www.wix.com/artbyjoel/watercolorart
And here is a photo of the three prints I got from him in the mail yesterday. They are very pretty online, but to see them in person is amazing. I can only imagine how beautiful an original would be...
The beauty of the fish is definitely one thing that keeps me wanting to catch more fish - and more species! I hope you enjoy his work as much as I do. I'm going to make sure he knows about TroutFest, too!

Zac: "This is perhaps the fastest column I have ever written. I am currently traveling over 80 mph down I-76 headed east."
Rabi: "When you say you are the one writing this, isn't that a little misleading?"
Zac: "Why?"
Rabi: "Because I'm the one actually writing it."
Zac: "Well, I am dictating while driving. But whatever. Change it to we if you want to."
Rabi: "I will."
Zac: "Actually, the first thing I would like to do is thank my good friend, Rabi, without whose assistance this column (perhaps the best I have ever written) would not be possible. I am overjoyed he has agreed to offer his insight, unrivalled wit and handsome chiseled features… Are you writing exactly what I am saying?"
"Yes, of course. 'Road trip.' 'Somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania.' 'Hurtling fast down the highway.' This is great stuff."
"Over the past 53 hours, we have visited five separate rest stops to fill up on 49 gallons of gas, stayed in two equally strange motels, spent $9 dollars on scratch cards (we won nothing), and we have driven close to 1,000 miles; actually, change that to 'I have driven close to 1,000 miles.'"
"I did all the driving."
"No you didn't."
"Except for the mile and a half when you drove from the hotel to Pizza Hut, I did all the driving."
"It's quality, not quantity."
"Fine, change it to, 'I drove 999 miles and you drove one.'"
"Actually this could be a good moment to transition. I did want to talk about how hard it is to eat healthy on the road."
"That's no good."
"What do you mean?"
"You can't say 'eat healthy.' You want to modify the verb so you need to say 'eat healthily,' unless your readership finds your blind stabs at English grammar amusing."
"Well, I wouldn't say it like that anyway. It would be more like, 'We left New York with healthy aspirations. Our car was to be a haven of vital morsels and nutritious nibbles, a cornucopia of granola and dried fruit, awash with yogurt flowing from the front to back seats.'"
"That's gross."
"You get the point. We started out healthy, but our decline was swift and cruel. Three hours in, we were devouring Burger King. It was all downhill from there and a mere five minutes ago we threw away a mass of junk food wrappers: Funions, beef jerky, ice-cream-cookie sandwiches, honey roasted peanuts, Goldfish."
"Actually, peanuts are quite healthy."
"Pizza Hut, obviously, M&Ms, peanut and regular…"
"I think you've made your point."
"And did you see the woman at breakfast this morning pouring scrambled eggs out of a plastic bag? [GPS: Approaching freeway entrance on the right] All we see on the highways are McDonalds, Arby's, Waffle House, Dunkin' Donuts..."
"You need to get in the right lane."
"All I'm saying is, it's no wonder this country has an obesity problem."
"You just missed the turn."
"We're good." [GPS: "Rerouting"]
"No, you missed it." [GPS: "When convenient, please make a legal U-turn. That was not a legal U-turn. You're an idiot".]
"There are too many things happening at once."
"Yeah, driving and talking. You're not what they call a multi-tasker, are you?"
"Don't type any of this."
"It's ridiculous. I'm not writing this anymore."
"Well, you aren't writing this, so it's fine."
"Just one more sentence; we need a way to wrap it up."
"YOU need to wrap it up."

Preservation Grant AwardedThursday, December 17th, 2009
We learned the happy news last week that we have been awarded a Save America's Treasures grant from the National Park Services for the preservation and digitization of the papers of the Friendly Association. The papers are among our most heavily used collections, having been used by several published scholars, as well as Ph.D. candidates, Master's degree thesis writers and undergraduate history majors from Haverford in recent years.
The "Friendly Association for Regaining and Preserving Peace with the Indians by Pacific Measures" was established in 1756 by a group of eminent Quakers in Philadelphia following months of horrific violence between settlers and Native Americans on the Pennsylvania frontier. Self-consciously contrasting themselves with the British army, the militia, and the more militant representatives of the proprietary government, the leaders of the Friendly Association sought to establish peaceful relations with the Delaware Indians and other nearby tribes, and thereby prove the effectiveness of Quaker pacifism.
The Friendly Association was a private initiative, without the official sanction of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting, but it quickly assumed a prominent role in many of the most important controversies of the day. Israel Pemberton and the other leaders of the Association sought to represent the interests of the Delaware in their ongoing dispute with the Pennsylvania government over the so-called "walking purchase." They monitored and participated in a series of treaty negotiations in the late 1750s and early 1760s, and eventually their disputes with the proprietary government became one element in a broad Quaker campaign to establish royal government and rescind the colonial charter.
The Friendly Association papers contain hundreds of unique and detailed accounts of behind-the-scenes treaty negotiations; historical documents dating back to the early years of Pennsylvania related to Indian affairs; the correspondence of Pemberton and others relating to fund-raising and the exigencies of Pennsylvania politics; and missives from Indian leaders, transcribed or otherwise transmitted by an intricate network of Indian "go-betweens" who maintained almost constant contact with the Association.
Dating from 1745–1792, the papers were bound into five folio-sized, half-leather scrapbooks in the late 19th century. The documents suffer from embrittlement of their housing and support, iron gall ink corrosion and degradation of the documents themselves, and heavy use, greatly exacerbating the threat of continued damage from the preceding problems. Treatment will take place in our in-house conservation lab and will allow for removal of the documents from their embrittled scrapbook leaves and stabilization of the document inks and paper supports. Each document will also be scanned and the resulting digital images will be loaded into Triptych, our digital library system. The project will take two years to complete and will involve several staff members, preservation interns, and student assistants.

Senior first baseman-designated hitter Mitch Wolfe has been chosen to the first-team Capital One Academic All-America team for the 2012 season.

Could anyone get Garborg's quotation (AWAD 24/02/2010) in its original language (norwegian, I guess)? I'd like to translate it to my mother tongue, catalan.

Om pengar
Arne Garborg
For pengar kan ein få alt, heiter det.
Nei, ein kan ikkje det.
Ein kan kjøpa seg
mat, men ikkje mathug,
dropar, men ikkje helse,
mjuke senger, men ikkje svevn,
lærdom, men ikkje vit,
stas, men ikkje venleik,
glans, men ikkje hygge,
moro, men ikkje glede,
kameratar, men ikkje venskap,
tenarar, men ikkje truskap,
gråe hår, men ikkje ære,
rolege dagar, men ikkje fred.
Skalet av alle ting kan ein få for pengar.
Men ikkje kjernen;
den er ikkje for pengar fal._________________________

It was interesting to read that Garborg was a proponent of Landsmål (today called Nynorsk) instead of Bokomål as the literary Norwegian language. (That's right, Norway has two competing standard languages.) When I looked on the Norwegikan Wikipedia to see if the quotation was there, of course I went to the wrong version (the Nynorsk one). Too funny. Maybe I should try to translate it into Esperanto, Ido, or Volapük to tickle the wrath of the Esperantista in the other thread with his Google Alerts.
Pengar, no doubt, is cognate with penny. I know a little Danish, and ikkje just looks wrong. It should be ikke._________________________

Nope. I was just saying that ikkje looks wrong. I'm sure it's right. And, FTR, I got the Garborg quotation off another non-Wikipedian quarter of the Web.

jaja.. ikkje looked a bitty weird. I know some travel Danish and there it was ikke. But I trusted Norwegian would be different with all those shifting phonologies.So.. ( I took the Norwegian interface) ikkje is right also in Nynorsk. For a noun I would feel perfectly at home with it, but it ain't.

Local chefs go hog wild for PIGSTOCK TC
What is Pigstock TC? The three-day event is designed primarily for the professional chef (there are events for the home cook and general public as well), to learn about breeding and raising practices of the Mangalitsa pig, along with the methods of processing a hog from the inside out; and finally to producing world-class salumi and charcuterie products.
Now in its third year, the event takes place October 22 -24 at the Great Lakes Culinary Institute, including a field trip the Santucci Farm. One the highlights will include a six course dinner prepared by some of the best local chefs inspired by Michael Rulhman and Brian Polcyn's new book, "Salumi: The Craft of Italian Dry Curing" (see Tastemakers). The dinner features an interview and book signing with Polcyn and Ruhlman.
Author Michael Ruhlman met chef Brian Polcyn while writing the first in what would become a three-book series on the lifestyle and soul of being a chef.
"Brian stood out in the crowd, he was the most articulate and I was quickly impressed with him," said Ruhlman. "I eventually called him and told him what I was doing and we just hit it off and became friends. When I thought about writing a book on charcuterie I knew he taught that art of it at culinary school so I asked if he wanted to write the book with me and he agreed."
Polcyn a popular chef and restaurant owner in the Detroit area (Forest Grill), along with a culinary instructor at Schoolcraft College has participated in several culinary events in Northern Michigan and was a popular presenter at last year's Pigstock. Ruhlman has become the nation's preeminent food writer whose books focus on the elements of cooking.
Pigstock TC takes place October 22 - 24 at the Hagerty Center in Traverse City and will be highlighted by Pigstock TC Dinner on Tuesday night to benefit the MLUI Farm-to-School lunch program. For more info check out pigstocktc.blogspot.com or call 231-883-2708.

Hastings Online Times, 19 November 2012
'History', as Marx said, 'repeats itself: first as tragedy, then as farce'. Fortunately for us, this time round the farce was written by Dario Fo! Guest reviewer (for Hastings Online Times) Stuart Christie attended the opening night of Dario Fo's Accidental Death of An Anarchist at Hastings' Stables Theatre.
The action begins, we are told, shortly after an actual series of coordinated bomb outrages in Milan and Rome on 12 December 1969, explosions that killed 16 and injured over 120 random victims in what became known as the Strategy of Tension. The subsequent police investigation into the 'bombings' (the latest in an ongoing series of alleged 'anarchist-leftist' attacks which began the previous year) was led by Chief Inspector Luigi Calabresi and his boss Chief Superintendent Antonio Allegra of Milan's Special Branch (Questura). On the night of the explosion — and the following day — over 100 anarchists were arrested, 27 of whom were taken to San Vittorio prison, the rest being held for interrogation in Milan police headquarters in the Via Fatebenefratelli.

Technology has become an inevitable part of our lives. And while Internet offers a mass amount of useful information, makes communication easier and faster than ever, it presents some threats too along the way.
Virus is a program designed to copy itself and propagate, usually attaching itself to applications. It can be spread by downloading files, exchanging CD/DVDs and USB sticks, copying files from servers, or by opening infected email attachments.
A worm can be injected into a network by any types of means, like an USB stick or an email attachment. Email worm tends to send itself to all email addresses it finds on the infected PC. The email then appears to originate from the infected user, who may be on your trusted senders' list, and catch you off guard.
It might appear harmless and even useful at first, but it leaves your PC unprotected, enabling hackers to steal sensitive information.
Spyware is often secretly installed without users consent when a file is downloaded or a commercial pop-up is clicked. Spyware can reset your auto signature, monitor your keystrokes, scan, read and delete your files, access your applications and even reformat your hard drive. It constantly streams information back to the person that controls spyware.
This malware launches advertisements, mostly in the form of pop-ups. These are customized to you as a user, based on your behavior on the Internet, which may
be monitored by spyware.
Spam may be defined as unwanted emails. Most users are exposed to scam, which is more than 50% of all Internet emails. Though spam is not a direct threat, it can be used to send different kinds of malware.
This is the fraudulent acquiring of sensitive personal information such as passwords and credit card details. This is accomplished by sending official-looking emails impersonating a trustworthy sender. Users of online banking and auction sites are most likely to become a target.
A more sophisticated form of phishing. By exploiting the DNS system, pharmers can create a fake website that looks like a real one for instance web bank page, and then collect the information users think they are giving to their real bank.
Designed to record the user's keystrokes. Keylogging allows criminals to look for particular bits of information that can be used for identity or intellectual property theft.
Rogue security software
A special type of threat is software that claims to be security software. It tricks users that have installed it to pay a sum of money to be really protected (which they will not be). Most often it pretends to be antivirus and antispyware programs.

Catterick Crusaders are going premier with by the looks of it 3 promoted sides (Cramlington and 2 others. Anyone know which?). But it will I think have 9 teams as Gateshead Spartans have folded and of course Peterlee Pumas going NCL. Should be good and sounds like a full season premier?

Where the White Women At?
One of the big stories of this year's presidential election has been the Republican party's admitted focus on getting the votes of white people. They've more or less given up on the hispanic and black vote so it's white or nothing at this point.
And the strategy has been successful, at least as far as white men are concerned. The Romney campaign is absolutely destroying Obama among white men. However, among white women it's not going quite so well.
Maybe that means that in the last day of the campaign Obama should make a new pitch to white voters. Here's one possible strategy:[youtube http://youtu.be/EDxOSjgl5Z4]
Let's call it a political sacrifice fly. You never know what it might bring home.

I find it ironic that the ones crying racism the loudest are often guilty themselves. As soon as Chris Rock can give me a valid reason other than "he's black" as to why he voted for our current president (same goes for Snoop), their just bags of hot air.
Do I like the "white" candidate? Not particularly, but I'm not a fan of turning our country into a socialist state either. This country needs another revolution, preferably bloodless.

Yes there are things that's people see and can't identify that appear to be flying through the sky.
UFO isn't a conclusive description of origin or substance - GTFOI.
That's why it's called a phenomenon.

The Internet is a big place. Really big. With more than a billion existing pages and thousands more being created each day, there's a wealth of great sites offering fantastic content free of charge. But with such a massive torrent of media being produced each and every day, it can often be tough to keep up with all your favorite websites. So, how do we alleviate this problem? Easy. Here's a really simple explanation of Really Simple Syndication (RSS).
What is RSS?
RSS is all about simplifying the way we view and digest content on the Internet. Web pages are typically multimedia experiences, with multiple columns of images, text, and advertisements. An RSS feed of a page strips the information down to the bare essentials — usually the main text content, main images, or in the case of podcasts and video channels, the content itself.
Related: Need a new podcast? Here's 100 of our favorites
By reducing the desired content down to just what you really want, you can enjoy it on a larger number of platforms without worrying about compatibility or display issues. It also allows you to keep track of when new content is posted without requiring you to refresh the blog or podcast page every 10 minutes until something new appears.
How does RSS work?
Rather than paying upwards of 100 bucks for a DVR like TiVo, you can start using RSS for free — all you need is a valid Internet connection and a program called an RSS aggregator.
An RSS aggregator, also known as feed reader, is a program that runs in the background and constantly waits for your favorite sites to post new content. When something new pops up on a site you're subscribed to, it instantaneously gets sent to your feed reader.
Related: Is Feedly Pro worth five bucks a month?
Typically, aggregators come in two varieties; they can be Web-based or desktop-based. There are also a number of programs and add-ons that provide RSS functionality to email clients and Web browsers. Once you've installed a feed reader, you can get started.
How do I use RSS?
There are hundreds of aggregators out there, with all kinds of different interfaces and useful features, so finding one you like is just a matter of experimentation. Google shut down its coveted Reader service in July 2013, but thankfully, a number of new software options have come about since then that are more than capable of handling your subscriptions. The most popular of these options is Feedly given its ease-of-use, robust compatibility, and the mere fact that many sites feature an embedded shortcut button for utilizing it.
Once you've installed an aggregator, aka a feed reader, you can start subscribing to your favorite sites. Generally, you'll know if a site supports RSS subscriptions if it features an orange icon with a set of white lines running through it, similar to the image at right (). You'll be hard pressed to find a site that doesn't support RSS these days, though, considering most sites offer an RSS button directly alongside buttons you click for Facebook and Twitter updaes.
The aforementioned Feedly is Web-based, so it's easy to simply point your smartphone, tablet, or computer to the site before logging in with your Google or Twitter account. The developers also offer an iOS, Android, and Kindle app, along with a number of desktop apps that work with its API, so you can browse from anywhere without having to worry about juggling multiple feeds.
For power users
RSS can be used for more than just combing news, music, and videos. Sites like Craigslist and eBay support RSS subscriptions to specific categories of services and items. Looking for a fridge, a welding job, or a three-bedroom apartment? Just type in your search terms and scroll to the bottom of the page. At the bottom right, there should be a button that allows you to subscribe to that list of classified ads, allowing you to set up notifications designed to alert you when any new posts are published within a specific category.
Related: The Old Reader replicates the Google Reader experience, for a price
In summary, RSS is a fantastic way to organize and consume the Web with increased efficiency and ease. If you do most of your reading on the Web, a sturdy RSS reader is a must-have. Also, be sure to check out Digital Trend's RSS feeds for some of the best content on the Web!
This article was updated on March 16, 2015, to reflect new and updated RSS-related software and technology — most notably, the unforseen closure of Google Reader.

Malek: Financial literacy critical issueMay 05,2014
Last Thursdays Times Argus editorial Crunched by numbers addressed the issue of Vermonts financial literacy and praises a task force of 19 people seeking to help policy makers address a chronic problem that is adversely affecting peoples lives.
Well it should; the magnitude of the problem can hardly be overstated.
Data cited in the editorial were stunning: 62 percent of Vermonters have no rainy day funds to deal with an emergency, 46 percent have a sub-prime credit rating, and 63 percent of 2012 Vermont college seniors graduated with student loan debt that averaged more than $28,000.
The data were provided by Champlain Colleges Center for Financial Literacy.
The director of the center, John Pelletier of Stowe, states that lack of financial literacy was a key factor behind the recession.
He says, Some of our economic problems were created by bad actors, focused on personal gain, but so many others were created by good people making poorly informed personal financial decisions.
Numerous studies have found financial issues are a frequent contributor to difficulties in marriage and a major cause of divorce.
Debt and delinquency destroy individuals and families every day.
The task force has taken on a monumental task.
Sadly, one can make a case that policy makers have contributed to a financial literacy death spiral that is already out of control.
Christine Kit Ardell of the University of Vermont noted at the 2012 Common $ense Conference that one shade of financial illiteracy is a belief that money isnt that important and one shouldnt fret about it.
She identified the following characteristics of these people:
They expect others to come to your rescue when faced with a financial problem. They think problems will work themselves out, and they do not see value in planning ahead.
Consider the following:
To help those who were unable to save for college, policy makers expanded eligibility for student loans.
To help those who chose or were unable to save for the down payment on a home, policy makers offered zero-down mortgages.
To help those who were unable to save for an emergency, policy makers provided food stamps and unemployment benefits.
For those who are saddled with excessive mortgage payments, policy makers have created refinancing programs.
For those with college loans, policy makers can now tailor payments to income and forgive balances.
Is it any wonder that there is an expectation that someone will rescue those who chose or were unable to plan ahead? Are policy makers reinforcing the belief not to fret, somehow things will work out?
As the national debt climbs to uncharted levels, can the task force convince young Vermonters that saving is better than borrowing?
Vermonts image as a state populated by frugal and fiercely independent residents has tarnished.
Perhaps the task force can apply the right mix of solvent and energy to help Vermonts youth restore the luster.
The future will certainly shine brighter for all if they can.

Your interests, situations, questions, familiarity with Compassion, etc. offer up quite a challenge when it comes to finding the proper balance between our desires for advocacy and getting more children sponsored and what I imagine your desire to be:
"Help me feel closer to my sponsored child!"
It's important to everyone on our Web team that you get what you want, that you feel more connected with your sponsored child because of what you read here. If you perceive this blog to be a one-dimensional commercial about how great Compassion is, then we are failing you.
Please use this blog post to let me know what content you want more of and what you want less of. Let me know what information you aren't getting that you wish you were getting.
I'm asking for your help in determining what gets published here. The comments you leave will allow me to make specific requests for blog posts from our field communications specialists and from the staff serving in Colorado Springs.

NLRB rules that employees are entitled to bring employment-related claims as class or collective actions, in court or arbitration proceedings
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)—the federal decision-making body that oversees relations between labor unions and private employers—recently declared that employees must be allowed to pursue their workplace grievances through collective or class-wide actions, whether it be through litigation or arbitration.
In D.R. Horton, Inc. and Michael Cuda, Case 12-CA-025764, the NLRB found that an employment agreement precluding workers from filing joint, class, or collective claims that relate to wage and hour violations and/or other working conditions violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Section 8(a)(1) establishes that an employer cannot "interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees" who are exercising their Section 7 rights. Section 7 rights protect employees who are engaged in "concerted activities for the purpose… of mutual aid or protection…."
The agreement required workers to waive their right to file a lawsuit or civil proceeding. It required workers to exclusively submit all employment disputes and claims to final and binding arbitration. The agreement went on, and prohibited the arbitrator from consolidating claims, proceeding with a class or collective action, or awarding class-wide relief. The NLRB held that the agreement expressly prohibited employees from engaging in protected activity—by prohibiting employees from bringing collective and class claims in any forum. The Board cited precedent establishing that the filing of collective civil actions and class-action lawsuits is protected concerted activity, and must be allowed under the NLRA.
More importantly, the NLRB decided that its decision to invalidate an agreement that contains a categorical prohibition of joint, class, or collective federal state or employment law claims does not conflict with or undermine the fundamental attributes and policy behind the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). The NLRB states: "To find that an arbitration agreement must yield to the NLRA is to treat it not worse than any other private contract that conflicts with Federal labor law." The NLRA, landmark legislation passed in 1935 that gave workers the right to unionize and engage in concerted activity, trumps the more recent FAA.
If the decision is appealed, it will go to the D.C. Circuit Court, and the NLRB General Counsel will defend the NLRB's decision.

There isn't a question in here, just a thank you and some observations. I started peeking in this section over a month ago when I was getting close to needing to think about introducing my daughter to solids. I already had planned to do our own food, no store bought sludge. After reading about people doing the baby led solids so much, I was intrigued if somewhat skeptical. I spent a couple of weeks giving her mashed stuff on a spoon (which she mostly held because she grabbed it out of my hands) before my BLW book arrived, and thinking about the topic. She hadn't really seemed too interested in food, so I wasn't rushing...
After extensive reading, I opted for a mixed food approach - I didn't find any good reasons for not introducing suitable (non salted, non sugared, non chokable) foods as we ate them. She'd had some sweet potato, carrots, avocado, oatmeal, and unsweetened applesauce before.
For Thanksgiving we went to a restaurant and gave her a tray with a little turkey, a couple of peas, and a stalk of celery to play with. She LOVED it! The celery, of course, is the ultimate chew toy - but the meat she could get to her mouth thrilled her.
She has gummed an apple to her deep delight (with no skin on it), she devoured a banana third with her egg this morning, and she now has decided all meal times are for her to participate in. It is incredible to watch her level of engagement, this food thing really jazzes her all of a sudden. Today I went out with my mom for a raspa (snow cone) and my daughter was so mad when she wasn't allowed to participate. We ended up getting her a little cup of plain shaved ice and that satisfied her, and she had a ball with it. I suddenly realized that my mealtimes were never going to be the same, I have to have something she can play with at each meal because she has completely embraced the food thing.
Hopefully these links'll work.. here are a couple of photos of her chowing broccoli and an apple
This is so cool! Thanks for the ideas, and for introducing me to the concept. My daughter loves it, I love it, and the dogs are especially grateful for the extra bits of egg

Officials weigh in on the closing of Vermont YankeeAugust 27,2013Read statements issued today from around Vermont on the closing of VT
Following is a statement from Mary Powell, president and CEO of Green Mountain Power, regarding Entergy's announcement today that it will close the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant. "Entergy's decision to close the plant for financial reasons will not affect GMP customers. We have not purchased electricity from Vermont Yankee since March 2012 and there will be no immediate or direct impact on our customers. We have been very successful meeting our goals of providing our customers with low cost, low carbon and reliable electricity and will continue to do so, whether or not VY is operating."
Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility Statement on Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant's announced closing VBSR has long believed there are viable alternatives to Vermont Yankee, a facility that poses numerous environmental, safety, and financial risks for Vermont electricity users. The operation of an aging and troubled nuclear power plant in our borders undermines Vermont's reputation as a clean and green state.
With today's announcement, it is clear that Vermont should continue on its path to modernize our grid to facilitate distributed energy sources and stimulate the creation of affordable, clean, and local power from our farms and forests, our rivers, our sun and wind.
We also recognize that this will be a difficult transition for the employees at Vermont Yankee and the communities surrounding the facility. VBSR hopes there are opportunities for ENVY workers to participate in the shutdown and decommissioning of the plant and that state officials are prepared to assist in job placement, training and other support for those displaced by today's decision.
Statement of Deb Katz, VCAN on Entergy's Decision to Close Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant "We applaud Entergy's decision to shut down an aging nuclear power plant, rather than to push it past its limits. We appreciate their commitment for planning for a safe and orderly shutdown. We will remain vigilant to ensure that the decommissioning is done responsibly and in the safest way possible. Today, we celebrate this milestone in our work to end nuclear power generation in the Northeast and to foster a renewable energy future. This is a win for the people. Their relentless work has made the closure of Vermont Yankee possible. We thank all who have worked to make this day happen, especially the state of Vermont for its perseverance on this issue."
Speaker of the House Shap Smith issued the following statement in response to Entergy's announcement this morning: "Entergy's announcement this morning that it will close and decommission Vermont Yankee in 2014 comes after several years of speculation about the long term sustainability of the plant. This closure is part of a broader national trend in which the economic viability of nuclear power is uncertain, as the country looks to develop an affordable and sustainable energy profile for the future. In the coming months and years, the legislature will work with the Administration, Windham County leaders and others to assist employees of the plant and the surrounding communities during this transition period. Entergy repeatedly has assured Vermonters that it will decommission the plant in a safe and environmentally sound way. I will work to ensure that this commitment is fully met."
Progressive Party Statement on Entergy Yankee Decommissioning Progressives were excited to learn Tuesday morning that the Entergy Yankee Nuclear power plant will be decommissioned and closed in 2014. This is long overdue and something the Progressive Party has fought for since the plant was first proposed. Progressive Party Chair Martha Abbott had this to say: "Many Progressives fought against the building of a nuclear power plant in Vermont back in 1970. It is wonderful news that Entergy has decided to close it. The plant was no longer economically viable for them so they have made a savvy business decision. It is also likely that the Vermont Public Service Board would not have given them a Certificate of Public Good to continue operating as Vermont no longer receives any power from the plant.
"While it is a great day to celebrate, we will have to hold our breath for another year and a half and hope that no more leaks or accidents happen between now and the end of 2014 when it is planned to shut down.
"More importantly we must demand that Entergy set aside sufficient funds to decommission the plant safely and 'restore the area to a green field' as was promised when it was built. Further, we must also demand a just transition for the many Vermonters who work at the plant, to ensure that they and their families are taken care of as they move on to other positions."MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Although I specialise in PC, Laptop, Tablet, smartphone and broadband / network internet repairs i also do household electrical appliance repairs and automotive computer diagnostics - If its electrical then I can repair it - I can also get the parts cheaper than you would pay from a shop or second hand to save you even more money. I am fully time served kitchen and bathroom / industrial unit tiler with my fathers company. I was fed up working for someone else and seeing customers getting shoddy service and high prices so decided to leave and start working for myself rather than follow the typical 9-5 nightmare commute into Edinburgh or Glasgow and waste my day working for a company that does not value your efforts or appreciate your hard work. I do every job to 101% customer satisfaction with money back guarantee and wont leave a job until its totally complete - I specialise in low prices for pensioners and the unemployed and will in some circumstances do the job for free if you are within my local area and dont have much money as I have been there myself and know how expensive and ridiculous some of the so called computer repair and other companies are.

On this day (Dec. 2) in 1954, the headline of the lead front-page article in The New York Times read "The Final Vote Condemns M'Carthy, 67-22, for Abusing Senate and Committee."
"M'Carthy" was, of course, was the controversial, red-baiting Republican Wisconsin Sen. Joseph Raymond McCarthy. Born Nov. 14, 1908, on a dairy farm near Appleton, Wis., into the devout Catholic family of Timothy and Bridget Tierney McCarthy, Joe McCarthy dropped out of school in 1922 (age 14) to help his parents manage their farm only to resume his formal education when he was 20.
Through diligence, McCarthy graduated in one year. In 1930, the restless, ambitious McCarthy entered Marquette University, where he gained a reputation as a playboy and card shark. He graduated in 1935 with a degree in law. Admitted to the bar in 1935, Joe commenced the practice of law and a political career. First unsuccessfully as a Democrat, but later successfully as a Republican, McCarty was elected a circuit judge in 1937 (age 29), becoming the youngest judge in Wisconsin history.
In 1942, McCarthy was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps, hoping that combat experience would enhance his budding political career. He served in the Pacific as an intelligence officer for a dive bomber squadron. In 1945, McCarthy returned to civilian life to resume his political career. In his 1946 Republican senatorial primary campaign against three-term senator Robert M. LaFollette Jr., McCarthy often resorted to smear tactics, which helped him to win not only the primary, but also the general election with 61.2 percent of the vote against Democratic opponent Howard McMurray's (37.3 percent).
It was during this campaign that McCarthy, who was essentially a noncombat officer, often exaggerated his military exploits, assuming the appellation of Tail-Gunner Joe for his alleged combat experience as a tail-gunner.
During his first four years as a U.S. senator, McCarthy was essentially a back-bencher.
However, on Feb. 9, 1950, at a Lincoln Day address in Wheeling, W. Va., the relatively unknown Midwestern senator gained popularity and fame (notoriety?) by claiming, in a widely reported speech, that there was "communist influence" in the Truman administration. He said he had in his hand a list of 205 (later changed to 57) known Communists working in the State Department who were shaping U.S. Cold War policy, and, therefore, were largely responsible for such U.S. defeats as the Communist 1949 take-over of China and "allowing" the Soviets to develop an atomic bomb.
By 1953, as Chairman of the Permanent Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, McCarthy launched into a campaign (which had earlier been dubbed "McCarthyism" by Washington Post cartoonist Herbert Block in a famous March 29, 1950, cartoon), accusing political opponents, or in fact anyone who would not embrace his anti-communist "crusade," of being Communists or Communist sympathizers.
By 1952, McCarthy had reached the zenith of his political power and influence and was easily re-elected to the Senate. During this period, he called former Secretary of State George C. Marshall a traitor and said President Truman should be impeached. After Ike's election to the presidency in 1952, McCarthy even attacked Eisenhower for his support of Gen. Marshall, which prompted Ike to reportedly have remarked that he would not "get down in the gutter with that guy."
Finally McCarthy's mudslinging and demagoguery led to his downfall. After a series of Army-McCarthy hearings, which were nationally televised, McCarthy's boorish, crude, and vulgar behavior on national TV led to his censure for behavior that "was contrary to senatorial traditions" by the U.S. Senate.
After the Senate's censure, McCarthy's last three years were lonely ones. He died on May 2, 1957, at age 48 of acute hepatitis and alcoholism at the Bethesda Naval Hospital.

RAWR This Season is BULL****.
I'm SO ****ing tired of losing its insane. I mean yeah, we won tonight....against the TWOLVES. That's what Knicks basketball has come to? A once proud franchise in thee most proud city in the entire United States is excited about beating the Minnesota Timberwolves??? PATHETIC!!! We need to make moves, and make moves fast. Why would even want to make the playoffs? We'd just embarrass ourselves out of it as the 8 seed. We should be letting go of EVERYONE who is not part of the 2010 plan. Yes, David Lee included. I love Lee's hustle, but s***...we need talent. If we could trade his expiring contract to get rid of JJ or McCurry I would do it in a HEARTBEAT. We could probably get some good talent in return. F***, I just want to ****ing win already... I think a frustration thread was necessary considering we last made the playoffs when Dwight Howard was in high school and weighted less than 200 pounds...s***. F***, f***, f***! I'm frustrated. Sick. Tired. Any melancholy word can be inserted to describe my emotions toward my Bockers.
Spike still runs the garden.
A change gonna come my friend! The last two years were our low points but we are finally on the upswing. We are competing with a mediocre cast of players and tons of cap relief coming in the next 1-2 years. These bitter years will make our revival that much sweeter!
it only the third time when they get such blowout, one thing hurts me so much, the other two times was with top nba teams: lakers and boston i'm tired for 10 years almost but like my home football team fans, they are with team for good and bad moments ( or little longer than moment )
I'm not frusterated, I was when Isiah was in charge, No matter what happens this off season, we will have the best Knicks team since 2000. How could you guys be frusterated after all we been thru the past decade?
it's the past 10 years that make me frustrated and not having SOLID proof that things are going to get better is scary. I beleive in the plan and haveing cap room is very important, but it's still not a sure thing...
I don't get what there is to be so frustrated about. Obviously we've had some tough losses this year, but it's still a vast improvement than any other Knick season in recent memory. We're finally on the right track and rebuilding the right way. Even if we don't sign Lebron or Wade or anybody this offseason, we can rebuild through the draft and use our cap flexibility in trades.
Layden-Plan to get rid of "ALL" Grunfield's players did not work.
Isiah-Plan to get rid of "ALL" Layden's players did not work.
Walsh-Plan to get rid of "ALL" Isiah's players ...................
Some how this philosophy has'nt been working in any bussiness in New York.
Down-grading an entire company takes away the essential method of the company....the Knicks used to win on their defense for 30 years....the past 7 seasons the Knicks been "trying" to win from their offense.
The things we were built-on (our foundation) is gone in our mangement, coach, and player.
I recall a time when Fans used to say, "Walt Clyde Frazier could steal a hub-cap off a moving car", those were the daze of Knick B-Ball...
The glory days of Knick defense IMO, were when a player would see a combination of either: Starks, Big Pat, Oak, Mase, X McDaniel or even Doc Rivers standing between them and the basket and imagine the repercussions of attempting to get too close to the paint.
No other team EVER (once Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant found their niche) took it to Jordan and company's Championship team like we did. That is the sole reason why I strayed from the global herd of Bulls fans and went with NY.
Charles Oakley and X could box out a wounded water buffalo.
How old were you in 94.
Well said man. It's going to happen. The good times are ahead of us and the bad hopefully behind. This is going to be a huge off season, which is going to dictate the future of our franchise. I have faith that Donnie will do what it takes to make this team a force in the league.

Mission : X Heat / Target : L.James
their are plenty of things that need of be changed as far as I'm concerned.
donnie was hired as the pres.of basketball ops, and since then he's been the defacto gm; i think he needs to hire someone young and willing with a great basketball mind and eye for basketball talent as this team's gm.i want sam presti.
secondly, he needs to fire every scout on this team.don't give a **** about how long they've been with this team.the knicks have been one of the worst drafting teams in the last 20 years.
thirdly, if get mike d'antoni gets a chance to get another job, let him walk.he is not the best fit for this team, in this teams current state, and most likely for the foreseeable future.the hawks would be an ideal fit for his style of play.
forth, bring back jeff van gundy.yeah, i said it.he's got unfinished business here.i don't care on what terms he left.
also, he needs to start making moves to set this team up better for the future.young talent and or picks, to make this team a more complete team.harrington needs to get dealt, because he won't be here next year.get what you can for him.same with the rest of our power forward situation.lee, gallo, hill,at least 2 of those guys need to get dealt(perry jones ftw in '11 if no james!) i thinks that's obvious, i just hope he isn't too patient.
not trying to be greedy but, in my mind a presti-van gundy-james off season would put us in better shape than simply getting james.
