Bits of our Entry into Vegas BabyPosted Tuesday, February 21, 2012, at 2:27 PM
If you've seen Vegas, you'll just have to forgive me. It's my blog!
Unusual for me, I'm a bit grumpy, so if you wanna be a child and throw a big fat baby fit, hit the "Back" button now. heheh
I hadn't been here since a child, and only had a vague memory. I'm easy to please, for the most part. This pleases me! I've been to some big cities, mostly thanks to horses, but not lit like this one! Wayne wishes we had come into it in the night, so I could really see it lit up. But this was awesome too. None of these are real good shots, since they are taken thru the windows of the truck, but they're not bad. As you can see, it was a beautiful sunny day!
Now, down to business. We have to settle the Filly. She has, after all, traveled as far as we have! She's a bit hesitant to get out of the trailer, ...says she has been perfectly comfy in there.
We convince her to go for a walk, and stretch her legs.
Is she not beautiful?
She decides to enjoy the soft sand, and scratch her back
Carolyn, taking her back to her private room.
Looks like a bit of a Fancy place huh?
Our Hotel. It'll do.
I've been to these events a few times. It doesn't get old. And I hope (I'm sure) it never does. It's awesome and awesomer/awesomest to be a part of this! It's exhausting, but worth every tired and worried moment. It's not just being part of something big, it's being part of something that carries on a Legacy, that might seriously be lost without inspiration. Seeing people come from all over the world, to share their experiences, memories and hopes and dreams... well... I can't precisely put that into words.
This is the Horse End of the Hotel. Totally Secure. You can't get in there without a key, and you better have a pass with you, if someone sees ya!
Finally, we go in the front door to 'check in'. It'll do
Of course, our room was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy down at the end of this long hallway. Of course
More to come, ya think?

Up until a few years ago, I hadn't been to Vegas sine before the new strip was built. I couldn't believe my eyes. I made sure to take the time to go to the old strip, or what's left of it before it's gone forever. Hope you did the same.

Roy, we went to the "strip" one evening, but I don't know if it war old or new. I suspect newish.
Next year, I want to go to Excalibur to see the jousting!
We had fun, but really, Vegas isn't my thing. I guess everyone should do it tho.
-- Posted by jessiemiller on Tue, Feb 21, 2012, at 6:06 PM
Well, you'll have to ask for directions to the old strip, but it's worth going.

We used to drive through it on our way to Tucson. Pat would never stop but I did talk him into stopping once. We looked down at it at night and the lights took my breath away. That was a long time ago, can't even imagine what it looks like now. I'm happy for you Jessie and happy you were married there.
-- Posted by MsMarylin on Tue, Feb 21, 2012, at 7:41 PM
Thanks Marylin, but didn't matter where, so much as who. Cool to be done the way/by who it was.
Roy, just Excalibur really. But who knows!

I have stayed at the Excalibur and the Monte Carlo. there are so many new ones built since the end of the 90's. I loved walking around and enjoying all of them.
Fremont Street was the best experience.

There is so much to see anywhere you are there! The South Point Hotel, where we stayed, is so huge, had everything we needed and more. We only left, cuz it seemed like we should. But really, were too tired to truley enjoy!
Another time! I can't wait to see the jousting at the Excalibur, for sure! A year will go fast I hope!

Is there still a place for Flash on the web?
With the ipad and iphone dominance of the market, Flash has found itself facing a position of near- redundancy (as a website platform) as it is currently unsupported by Apple products. From a SEO perspective, search engines don't react favourably to sites solely created in Flash and developers are shifting their attention towards HTML5 and JQuery. So with better options available, is there still a place for Flash to exist on the web?
Whilst Squeeze no longer advocate's the use of Flash to build entire websites, we do believe that when used effectively, it can still enhance the user experience. Flash does still have its uses however and because it is based on a programming platform there are no limitations on what you can create with the software. Banner advertising, games, CD ROMs and USB presentations are just a handful of uses in which Flash really demonstrates its brilliance and to great effect.
Squeeze have many years experience using Flash in an effective and refined manner to create engaging and interactive projects.

Metabolic monitoring for patients on antipsychotic medication: are we failing to provide reasonable standard of physical healthcare?
- Department of Psychiatry, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
- Correspondence to Valsamma Eapen
Department of Psychiatry, University of New South Wales, L1 Mental Health centre, Elizabeth Street, Sydney, NSW 2170, Australia; v.eapen{at}unsw.edu.au
Implications for practice and research
■ Patients with mental illness are vulnerable to weight gain and metabolic risk induced by antipsychotic medication, therefore, proactive monitoring and management are critical in improving outcomes.
■ Suboptimal metabolic monitoring even after the introduction of monitoring guidelines suggests the need for matching guidelines with appropriate training and quality assurance programmes.
■ There is a need to bridge the research gap through investigating the optimal methods of detecting, preventing and treating metabolic risk in mentally-ill patients; the implementation of effective monitoring methods is crucial.
■ An integrated evidence-based approach linking physical and mental health aspects using a shared care …

Ferris State University has completed the visioning stage of the planning process and received a final report from the consulting firm of Brailsford & Dunlavey for the major renovation of its current Rankin Student Center into a modern future-oriented University Center. The current facility was originally constructed in 1957, with subsequent additions in 1960 and 1987. The facility is in need of significant renovations to modernize the facility to meet the campus needs for a University Center. The renovation of the Rankin Student Center is identified in the university facilities master plan as a priority.
Significant findings resulting from the visioning effort include:
The President's Council carefully considered the findings and recommendations of the visioning task force and subsequently developed a recommended project scope document to assist with defining priorities to balance the scope and budget for the project.
The renovation will include floor plan reconfigurations and potentially some addition of new space; upgrade of building envelope and interior finishes as well as replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment. In addition, plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems will be upgraded with energy efficient systems that will meet the programmatic requirements and reduce operational and maintenance costs.
The planning for this project will be very complicated both from an architectural and engineering standpoint and from a construction and logistical perspective. Current occupants will be relocated to other facilities prior to construction. The site will be fenced for safety, which may also require closing East Campus Drive (between Rankin and Carlisle). Additionally, significant utility infrastructure work will have to be coordinated with the demolition of Masselink and Carlisle Halls.
The University will concurrently start conducting a transportation study this fall to look at pedestrian and vehicular issues including counts, flows, cross walks, conflicts, roads and parking lot locations, capacities and potentially a shuttle bus system.
Once the project scope for the project and budget has been finalized, the administration will bring a proposal back to its Board of Trustees requesting approval of the final scope, budget and authorization to award contracts for construction.

Market tracking firm IDC said that in the third quarter of 2008 notebooks accounted for over 50% of personal computers shipped in the U.S. for the first time in history of the industry. The share of notebooks shipped in the USA in Q3 2008 stood at a solid 55.2%, according to preliminary figures from IDC's U.S. quarterly PC tracker. It is important that both consumers and businesses preferred notebooks to desktops.
"The consumer market continued to be the top driving factor in the notebook offensive but the commercial sector played a critical role too," said David Daoud, research manager of U.S. quarterly PC tracker and personal systems at IDC.
The 55% ratio was made possible by a record volume of notebooks shipped in the third quarter of this year – over 9.5 million units – representing more than 18% growth both year-over-year and on a sequential basis, according to IDC's preliminary data. These figures were reached amid a relatively active back-to-school season and the burgeoning financial crisis, which captured headlines, but did not immediately affect the PC market's performance.
Almost all the leading vendors with desktop and notebook offerings shipped greater notebook volumes in the quarter. Some vendors, such as Toshiba, have long focused exclusively on notebooks. Others, including Sony, Acer, and Lenovo exceeded the 65% notebook ratio within their own PC client shipment base. Attracted by the opportunities of an expanded multi-PC-per user base, new notebook-focused vendors are making their way into the U.S. market, including Asus and Samsung, which primarily target consumers with their devices. The potentially expanding mid-tier vendor base is likely to further increase competition among well-known brands, with the potential for lower prices to stimulate demand and keep unit growth in positive territory.
"The consumer market has long favored notebooks, with mobile ratios exceeding the 70% mark. So it is clear that the small and mid-markets, as well as the enterprise and public sector buyers, are seeing good value in mobility. Looking ahead, while mobility will remain a leading growth factor, the economy will be a major wild card in the short to mid term. Prolonged economic tension could have an adverse effect on the PC space leading to reduced growth, but the good news is that virtually every buyer considers PCs as must-have products and not a secondary wish-list items," added Mr. Daoud.
IDC's U.S. quarterly PC tracker gathers PC market data in the United States by vendor, form factor, brand, processor brand and speed, sales channel and user segment. The research includes historical and forecast trend analysis as well as price band and installed base data.

Plea deal in 4-county car chase
By NIKKI YOUNK
Staff Writer
CRYSTAL FALLS – A Baraga teen has accepted a plea deal on charges that stem from an October car chase that started in Iron River and spanned four Upper Peninsula counties.
Shad Kenneth Bryan, 18, pleaded guilty to one felony count of fleeing a police officer-third degree-vehicle code. An additional felony count of unlawful driving away of a motor vehicle was dismissed.
Bryan still faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison when he is sentenced in Iron County Trial Court on March 25.
According to troopers from the Iron Mountain post of the Michigan State Police, Bryan and a codefendant, 18-year-old Devin Charles Curtis of L'Anse, stole a 2011 Subaru Outback from Angeli's Central Market in Iron River on Oct. 28.
When troopers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle on U.S. 141 in Hematite Township, the vehicle would not stop.
The suspects then led law enforcement officials on a 65-mile chase from U.S. 141 in Iron and Baraga counties, to M-28 in Baraga, Houghton, and Ontonagon counties, to M-45 in Ontonagon County.
Troopers said that the driver lost control of the vehicle on M-45 near Gauthier Road in Ontonagon County. The suspects fled the scene on foot, but were apprehended the next morning.
Curtis failed to appear in court for his preliminary examination back in November. There is still a bench warrant out for his arrest.
In other Iron County Trial Court action:
– Bruce Allen Blough, 55, of Iron River pleaded not guilty to one felony count of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, one felony count of discharging a firearm in a building, and one misdemeanor count of domestic violence.
He will appear in Iron County Trial Court for a pre-trial on March 18.
The charges against Blough stem from a Jan. 15 incident in Iron River Township.
According to testimony given in court, Blough is accused of grabbing a female by the neck and pinning her down on a bed. When the victim left the room, Blough allegedly fired two shots from a 380 handgun.

Such as unmentioned massive hairline crack on the feed block, excessive wear on pump handle, feed tube and major scratches on feed tube it's self.
(**Very dirty / not well maintained marker)
Also did not ship with exact items listed in the B/S/T thread.

If I knew of the exact condition of the marker, I would not have traded.
I don't know WHY they work, but they outperform anything on the market hands down...and they're MADE IN AMERICA.

Purchased Deathstix barrel kit off him recently. Great communication, fast shipping. Overall just easy smooth transaction. Barrel and kit was as described, no surprises. Would trade/deal with again. Thank you.
Posted 10 March 2013 - 10:07 AM
Marker was damaged in shipping, He worked extremely well with mods, myself and a third party to get the marker repaired. He covered repair costs and was professional the whole time. He also included a jersey in the original trade because of a slight shipping delay. Great guy, level headed, professional and honest! Do not hesitate to do business with him.
Just don't trust those butchers at USPS!
Hope that Ego Mows face for you!

Michael D. Thomas, who died in action in Afghanistan, is laid to rest.
By SAUNDRA AMRHEIN
Published May 6, 2007
BRANDON - It ended here under the arching branches of an old oak tree, with the hum of traffic in the distance, and the sorrowful notes of a single trumpet playing taps.
The story of Michael D. Thomas' life began not so far away, where he grew up in Seffner, a kid with boundless energy who loved to skateboard, wrestle and sit for hours picking out a rock song on his electric and bass guitars.
On Saturday, at the funeral for the Army Special Forces staff sergeant, family and friends sought to recapture the essence of the 34 years packed in between.
"He lived a full life, " said Craig Jorgensen, who called himself Thomas' best friend, who grew up a few houses down from Thomas in Seffner.
Thomas was a wild spirit who mastered two types of guitars, the drums and just about any sport he tried - baseball, basketball and football.
"You always wanted Mike on your team, " Jorgensen told Thomas' wife, children and more than 100 family members, friends and military personnel, including Gen. Bryan D. Brown, commander of Special Operations Forces, during the service at the Stowers Funeral Home's Brandon chapel.
"Mike was an all star in every sense of the word, " he said.
They remained close friends, even after Thomas graduated from Armwood High School in 1991, joined the Army and went off to Korea with the military police.
Jorgensen received e-mails from Thomas with photos attached. Amid military fatigues and sniper rifles, Jorgensen would catch glimpses of Thomas' Metallica wristband or his Tampa Bay Bucs cap.
A prankster, Thomas loved to surprise friends and relatives with unannounced visits home.
Once, he jumped out of the closet at one of his sisters'. Another time he startled Jorgensen, knocking at his bedroom window. "He liked to be goofy, " Jorgensen said.
He volunteered
Thomas was protective of his sisters, Krista, 24, and Cassie Kirkpatrick, 23. Krista's husband, Jaye Bridwell, recalled the day he met Thomas.
Bridwell had been dating Krista and sleeping in a spare room in the house. Thomas, arriving home on leave, woke him up with a punch to the ribs.
"My day began with a beating, followed by a 5-mile run and career counseling, " Bridwell said.
The two became great friends. They talked cars and visited pawn shops together. Thomas loved looking for stuff no one else wanted.
When Thomas volunteered for the Special Forces, he had already served with military police for 13 years. He should have been nearing the end of his career, in relative safety. But he wanted to be on the front lines.
At 32, he worried he was too old, Bridwell said. But he made it through training and deployed to Afghanistan with the 7th Special Forces Group, Airborne, as a weapons sergeant.
Bridwell said he could see from photos that Thomas loved the job "like a pig in mud."
About a month ago Bridwell was having a bad day, then Thomas left a message on his cell phone, just saying "Hi" and making funny noises.
"He was laughter therapy for sure, " Bridwell said.
Family's memories
The news arrived to Teresa, his wife, and the rest of the family in late April: Thomas was killed in a firefight during a combat patrol.
Thomas' stepdaughter, Diana Garcia, 21, said it pained her to know that her daughter, 17-month-old Alexis, would never know "my greatest hero."
Memories washed over her, she said: playing Monopoly and Uno and yelling at Thomas to stop biting the cards; listening to radio stations until late in the night and being the only two callers to phone in requests to the DJ.
Thomas would call her and tell her about a new guitar or amplifier he'd just found, she said.
"At times like this, life seems so unfair, " she said. But she had faith she'd see Thomas again some day.
The last to speak at the service issued a soft voice from behind the lectern, as he stood to the side of the flag-draped casket and framed portrait of Thomas.
"My father was a very silly man and - good, " said his son, 8-year-old Craig, pausing to get the words out.
"He was the greatest father in the world. And I just cannot believe this is happening, " he said, in the direct and heartbroken words of a child.
"He died doing what he wanted to do and doing what he loved. He died for all of us, " Craig said. "He was just a great father."
Craig bowed his head and walked back to his seat, his hands in his pockets and chin to his chest.
The cry of bagpipes called the crowd outside. A military honor guard escorted the casket. The family and friends followed, filling the funeral home's front lawn and wraparound porch.
A 21-gun salute pierced the air, and then taps. The honor guard folded two flags, presented them to Thomas' wife and mother. Then the guard lifted Thomas' casket into the elegant white hearse. Craig and the family watched in silence, and began to weep, as the hearse moved across the parking lot, pulled into traffic, and drove away.

Cogswell College has been in the San Francisco Bay area since 1887 so has contributed a lot to local history. This blog post about the Bernalwood area dates back to around 1924 and if you scroll down about half way through the piece, you'll see an old aerial view of Cogswell.
History buff – especially those interested in turn-of-the-century San Francisco – will find this an interesting read.
Did you learn anything new about early San Francisco life?

Continuing coverage of my week in Washington DC for the annual [2010 System Storage Technical University], I attended several XIV sessions throughout the week. There were many XIV sessions. I could not attend all of them. Jack Arnold, one of my colleagues at the IBM Tucson Executive Briefing Center, often presents XIV to clients and Business Partners. He covered all the basics of XIV architecture, configuration, and features like snapshots and migration. Carlos Lizarralde presented "Solving VMware Challenges with XIV". Ola Mayer presented "XIV Active Data Migration and Disaster Recovery".
Here is my quick recap of two in particular that I attended:
- XIV Client Success Stories - Randy Arseneau
Randy reported that IBM had its best quarter ever for the XIV, reflecting an unexpected surge shortly after my blog post debunking the DDF myth last April. He presented successful case studies of client deployments. Many followed a familiar pattern. First, the client would only purchase one or two XIV units. Second, the client would beat the crap out of them, putting all kinds of stress from different workloads. Third, the client would discover that the XIV is really as amazing as IBM and IBM Business Partners have told them. Finally, in the fourth phase, the client would deploy the XIV for mission-critical production applications.
- A large US bank holding company managed to get 5.3 GB/sec from a pair of XIV boxes for their analytics environment. They now have 14 XIV boxes deployed in mission-critical applications.
- A large equipment manufacturer compared the offerings among seven different storage vendors, and IBM XIV came out the winner. They now have 11 XIV boxes in production and another four boxes for development/test. They have moved their entire VMware infrastructure to IBM XIV, running over 12,000 guest instances.
- A financial services company bought their first XIV in early 2009 and now has 34 XIV units in production attached to a variety of Windows, Solaris, AIX, Linux servers and VMware hosts. Their entire Microsoft Exchange was moved from HP and EMC disk to IBM XIV, and experienced noticeable performance improvement.
- When a University health system replaced two competitive disk systems with XIV, their data center temperature dropped from 74 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. In general, XIV systems are 20 to 30 percent more energy efficient per usable TB than traditional disk systems.
- A service provider that had used EMC disk systems for over 10 years evaluated the IBM XIV versus upgrading to EMC V-Max. The three year total cost of ownership (TCO) of EMC's V-Max was $7 Million US dollars higher, so EMC counter-proposed CLARiiON CX4 instead. But, in the end, IBM XIV proved to be the better fit, and now the customer is happy having made the switch.
- The manager of an information communications technology service provider was impressed that the XIV was up and running in just a couple of days. They now have over two dozen XIV systems.
- Another XIV client had lost all of their Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units for several hours. The data center heated up to 126 degrees Fahrenheit, but the customer did not lose any data on either of their two XIV boxes, which continued to run in these extreme conditions.
- Optimizing XIV Performance - Brian Cormody
This session was an update from the [one presented last year] by Izhar Sharon. Brian presented various best practices for optimizing the performance when using specific application workloads with IBM XIV disk systems.
- Oracle ASM: Many people allocate lots of small LUNs, because this made sense a long time ago when all you had was just a bunch of disks (JBOD). In fact, many of the practices that DBAs use to configure databases across disks become unnecessary with XIV. Wth XIV, you are better off allocating a few number of very large LUNs from the XIV. The best option was a 1-volume ASM pool with 8MB AU stripe. A single LUN can contain multiple Oracle databases. A single LUN can be used to store all of the logs.
- VMware: Over 70 percent of XIV customers use it with VMware. For VMFS, IBM recommends allocating a few number of large LUNs. You can specify the maximum of 2181 GB. Do not use VMware's internal LUN extension capability, as IBM XIV already has thin provisioning and works better to allow XIV to do this for you. XIV Snapshots provide crash-consistent copies without all the VMware overhead of VMware Snapshots.
- SAP: For planning purposes, the "SAPS" unit equates roughly to 0.4 IOPS for ERP OLTP workloads, and 0.6 IOPS for BW/BI OLAP workloads. In general, an XIV can deliver 25-30,000 IOPS at 10-15 msec response time, and 60,000 IOPS at 30 msec response time. With SAP, our clients have managed to get 60,000 IOPS at less than 15 msec.
- Microsoft Exchange: Even my friends in Redmond could not believe how awesome XIV was during ESRP testing. Five Exchange 2010 servers connected two a pair of XIV boxes using the new 2TB drawers managed 40,000 mailboxes at the high profile (0.15 IOPS per mailbox). Another client found four XIV boxes (720 drives) was able to handle 60,000 mailboxes (5GB max), which would have taken over 4000 drives if internal disk drives were used instead. Who said SANs are obsolete for MS Exchange?
- Asynchronous Replication: IBM now has an "Async Calculator" to model and help design an XIV async replication solution. In general, dark fiber works best, and MPLS clouds had the worst results. The latest 10.2.2 microcode for the IBM XIV can now handle 10 Mbps at less than 250 msec roundtrip. During the initial sync between locations, IBM recommends setting the "schedule=never" to consume as much bandwidth as possible. If you don't trust the bandwidth measurements your telco provider is reporting, consider testing the bandwidth yourself with [iPerf] open source tool.
Several members of the XIV team thanked me for my April 5th post [Double Drive Failure Debunked: XIV Two Years Later]. Since April 5th, IBM has sold more XIV units this quarter than any prior quarters. I am glad to have helped!

David Akers (1975/88): The 1912 is not quite as rare as the other 1909 to 1915 Philadelphia Mint issues (except for the "common" 1910) but it is still a very scarce issue, one that is especially difficult to find in high grade. Several small hoards were discovered in Europe in the late 1960s and early 1970s (the last I saw was a group of about 40 pieces that came from Basel, Switzerland in 1973), but nearly all of the coins from those small groups were moderately to heavily bagmarked. Gems are really very rare, almost on par with gems of the 1914, 1915 and 1908 With Motto issues. Dr. Steven Duckor has a beautiful MS-65+ specimen as does a prominent Eastern collector. There are a few others at that level but I do not recall ever seeing one that would grade a full MS-67.
The 1912 is always very sharply struck, the most sharply struck of any of the Philadelphia Mint issues from 1907 to 1915. The lustre is generally very good to excellent. The surfaces are usually frosty with an occasional specimen having a slightly satiny texture. Color is always very good and is usually a rich yellow gold, sometimes with a light rose or orange tint. Top grade examples of the 1912 have more "eye appeal" than any of the other early Philadelphia Mint issues except the 1915.

Would the blend weigh more than the KAAP therefore creating a lower hydration % when using the same 'volume' of water?
Will be sure to use a digital scale next time and use weight measurements rather than volume.With that said, if the absorption rate varies based on the protein content of the flour, does this create variation in the amount of weighted water required for a given recipe?I understand that 100% flour (assume 100g) and 64% water will require 64g of water, but if the absorption rate is different, it might require less or more water to achieve the same results?

Topic: Dashes (-) in URL's
Hi all
Was wondering if someone could help me. We've recently started moving a lot of our static sites over to rails purely because it's a power framework and the sites are open for expansion. We require that "multi-worded" url's have dashes in the e.g. http://domain.com/pages/two-worded-url for SEO
The way it's currently running is that we have a pages controller and then different actions for the static pages.
class PagesController < ApplicationController
layout "www_default"
def home
@page_title = 'Home'
def contact
@page_title = 'Contact Us'
This works fine for the following url http://domain.com/pages/home/
How would I go about getting the following url http://domain.com/pages/web-marketing/ working as the following code causes an error
def web-marketing
@page_title = 'Web Marketing'
Thanx in advance guys

Can anyone lend a laptop for use in the Quiz on Sunday? I can do it the old-fashioned way if necessary, but a laptop would help a lot as people will be able to see the questions on screen and not need to have them repeated.
Also, extra manpower would be useful. Eg scoring, or reading out questions when I get bored of it.

$50,000 Robot Seeks Room, Board—and Programming
If you think $50,000 is not too much for an adorable, smart robot that can be trained to unload a dishwasher or get a beverage, a startup called Unbounded Robotics says it is ready to ship you one soon.
The eye-catching UBR-1 stands 4 feet tall and weighs about 160 lbs. It can move around at a speed of about 2.2 miles per hour, has microphones, 3-D sensors for vision—and a single flexible arm that can lift up to 3.3 lbs.
The robot comes with its own operating system, called ROS, and a battery that lasts three to five hours. The software package included with the robot includes a computer with Ubuntu operating system, and a pre-configured wireless router to connect your robot and computer. The company hopes that the robot will be popular with developers who want to write applications for the device.
The UBR-1 robot will initially be available in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Reality Check: The hefty price tag and the sophisticated programming needed to make the robot perform its tasks means the gadget is largely for use in research and light industrial work, or by robotics enthusiasts. Previous attempts to sell robots by companies such as Willow Garage (of which Unbounded Robotics is a spinoff) haven't been widely popular. UBR-1 could end up with few takers until the right killer apps come along.

In yesterday Friday 12/10/2010's Teaday there was quite a bit of mention about expensive vs. inexpensive tea. I was just curious about what people considered as the cutoffs between these categories.
I personally like to rank tea based on its cost per session, as it is hard to keep track how many infusions I have each time I have a tea, as I sometimes truncate the last infusion or two, and price per gram while a decent indicator it is hard to keep track as different teas require different amounts of tea gram wise.
I rank my teas compared to what is available at coffee shops.
Inexpensive tea: A tea that I can enjoy a session for less than a cup of coffee, 0-$2.50.
Moderate priced tea: A tea that can be had for the price of specialty beverages at a coffee shop per session.
High priced tea/ Expensive tea is basically above that.
I will say I rarely have teas in the high price range, as even most of the aged puerh I have had still falls into the moderate priced category when viewed from a cost per session weight.

Chief executive officer of Nokia Corp. has again ruled out possibilities that the company is looking forward to sell its smartphone business unit to Microsoft Corp., which allegedly wants to market its own mobile phones to drive its Windows Phone platform. Stephen Elop insists that the potential deal makes no sense as Nokia has a lot of synergies across all of its business division.
"As we have described it before, the rumors are baseless, and some people who seem to enjoy generating rumors are running out of fresh material, so it seems to have come up again. I have nothing else to say," said Stephen Elop, chief exec of Nokia, in an interview with PC Magazine.
The rumours about potential transaction between Microsoft and Nokia were inspired by a Russia-based blogger, who said last May that the software giant was about to purchase Nokia or "all of its interesting assets" and would prefer to close the deal before the end of 2011. Later on he reiterated claims that Microsoft was only interested in taking over Nokia smartphone division and not the company, which owns valuable network and telecommunication technologies-related patents, itself. Early this year the blogger said that Microsoft would buy Nokia's smartphone unit in the first half of 2012 as the talks are underway.
Nokia insists that its division will not be able to be competitive when separated as the company enjoys a lot of synergies across all of its product ranges. Basically speaking, those product groups will not be competitive once separated.
"There's significant synergies between the multiple groups within Nokia—for example, on decisions around chipsets, on memory, on different display technologies. We gain scale advantages across the entire portfolio of devices that we have. In a number of the services and areas where we differentiate, [for instance] location-based services, we have a common team that's doing that work collectively across mobile phones and smart devices, so there's a lot of synergy that exists across the portfolio of Nokia products," said Stephen Elop.
Obviously, there is no smoke without fire and Microsoft may be negotiating with Nokia about certain kind of transaction. However, it looks like the companies are not even close to make any kind of deal now. Microsoft barely needs Nokia's smartphone unit, which is on a path towards serious decline and which will lose a lot of cost-efficiency after separating from the mother company. Finally, Microsoft clearly understands that few people would like to get a Microsoft-branded smartphone, based on failures of Microsoft Kin, Microsoft Zune and some other mobile initiatives.

I think that Cami was very good in her last number but should not have been so gushed over by the judges. She was being pushed by them when other talent was better. Jimmie Rose was just outstanding and should be a star more than her. I feel her eyes captivated everyone. Kamichi was just so far and away the best talelnt of the year and no one since Terry Fator stood out throughout the season. He will probably get a show in V egas of course Terry Fator had enough talent to replace Seigfried and Roy could Kamichi do that. Taylor should go far because he is quick witted and better than Tom that came in second last year. Forte magnificent and considering only being together for about 6 months the three tenors would have been wowed if they were available to speak out. Any other season they would have won. They were given the best back up of all contestants which made them larger than life. We have picked the winner every year but this year's final talent was the best ever. Now it is time to get judges that can stay impartial and not lead the public. I miss Sharon, Heidi and Mel together are not one Sharon. Get new judges. We love Nick, he adds much more to the show than Jerry Springer. Thanks for this year

WBGO Sweeps Radio Category at NYABJ Awards!
May 17, 2012. Posted by Brandy Wood.Add new comment | Filed under: Ailey Camp Newark, Awards, Conversations with Allan Wolper, doug doyle, Frank Lucas, Monica Miller, News, NYABJ, wbgo, WBGO News
WBGO Jazz 88.3FM swept the Radio Category with First Place honors in General News, Public Affairs and Arts & Entertainment at the 2012 New York Association of Black Journalists (NYABJ) awards ceremony held May 15 at The Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center in New York. NYABJ recognizes the best in Print, New Media, Radio, Magazine and Television reporting on issues that affect the Black Diaspora.
The evening opened with a tribute to Gil Nobel, host of Like It Is, lovingly delivered by Eric Tait, whose productions have aired on WBGO in celebration of Black History Month.
WBGO received awards in the following categories:
First Place in the Spot General News Radio Category: "Newark Shootings" Reporting from Newark City Hall, WBGO's Monica Miller spoke with Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Police Director Samuel DeMaio about a targeted shooting spree by drug dealers which left a 15-year-old dead.
First Place in Public Affairs/Radio Category: "Conversation with Allan Wolper - Frank Lucas" Host Allan Wolper had a candid conversation with former Harlem drug king Frank Lucas, who at one time was smuggling massive shipments of pure heroin to the United States from Southeast Asia on military transports. Now, Lucas counsels teenagers to remain in school and stay drug free. Conversations with Allan Wolper airs on WBGO Wednesday nights at 7:30, alternating each month with SportsJam with Doug Doyle.
First Place in Arts & Entertainment/Radio Category: "Ailey Camp Newark" WBGO News Director Doug Doyle reported on the final concert in the inaugural season of Ailey Camp Newark. Through funding of the Prudential Foundation, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater held summer camps in Brick City. Doyle took listeners through a magical night of dance, music, skits and fun at NJPAC in this in-depth feature that aired on the WBGO Journal.
"This year's awards reflect WBGO's commitment to telling stories you don't hear anywhere else. The art of story-telling is a big part of what we do, and listeners are treated to so much more than a sound bite," said News Director Doug Doyle. "We are excited that the WBGO Journal and Conversations with Allan Wolper continue to be recognized by NYABJ, and we will hold these prestigious awards as barometers of the caliber of work that we will continue to present to our listeners."
The WBGO News Department has won more than 60 NYABJ Awards since 1998.
Since its inception in 1976, NYABJ has a legacy of providing professional and moral support to its members, which include reporters, editors, photographers, graphics editors, art directors, public relations professionals, students and academics. This year's New York awards were judged by NABJ's Dallas Chapter.

Michelle L.
Gown: Hibiscus
Date of wedding: August 21, 2011
Photographer: Nadine Saacks
Hot tip: Don't sweat the small stuff – a good marriage isn't built on flowers, food and decorations! Also – surround yourself with suppliers that you like, it doesn't matter how good someone is or their price – if they annoy you during the lead up to the wedding, they will annoy you on the day!
What they loved: As soon as I tried it on, I loved it! It was perfect for what I wanted – a beautiful dress for a garden lunchtime wedding. The detailing and lace made it slightly different to 'traditional' dresses, which is what I loved most!
Husband: Paul

I have only heard NEW (the single and Queenie Eye) and so am not (yet) as well-qualified as those folk who have heard the album.
As far as the first single is concerned, I would say I liked it- I didn't love it. The old voice sounds generally good although his falsetto
bits (this applies to QE as well) are markedly inferior to what the man was once capable of. Obviously.
Actually, I think his voice sounds great on QE, although the old vocal chords are straining to be heard during the Floydesque breakdown...
Instrumentally speaking, its Macca meets Brian Wilson with a soupcon of Beatles. Pleasant, not ground-breaking ( a criticism which commonly
accompanies Macca releases: but what do people want? The man to once again reinvent EVERYTHING?!) but pretty nice.
However, what I would say about any McCartney release is that when he is once again on the air, on the forums (fora?) such as here,
and in the music charts, then this is when MUSIC is once again here with us, in an era in which tunes are so...missing!
Perhaps this is one of the reasons we still love and admire him and his work- its so tuneful!
Stating the obvious? Yes- mea culpa

Nvidia Corp. on Monday added its third Fermi-architecture consumer graphics card into the GeForce lineup. The new graphics card will cost below $300 and will be based on the substantially cut-down code-named GF100 graphics chip. Based on performance tests' results, the novelty can barely compete against ATI Radeon HD 5830, which will likely cause a price-drop onto the new GTX 465 in the short-term.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 465 sports 352 stream processors (SPs), 44 texture units (TUs), 32 render back ends (RBEs), 256-bit memory controller along with advanced feature-set. The new GPU can operate at 607MHz for the graphics domain and 1215MHz for stream processors. 1GB of GDDR5 memory function at 1603MHz.
"With GeForce GTX 465, now even more gamers can experience what DX11 gaming was meant to be. By using these new GPUs to build 3D Vision PCs, these same gamers will truly immerse themselves into the future of PC gaming. We are passionate about building GPUs to make the PC the best platform for gamers," said Drew Henry, general manager of GeForce GPUs at Nvidia.
Based on performance results obtained in resolution 1920x1080, the Radeon HD 5850 outperforms the GeForce GTX 465 in 15 cases from 19. The new card, however, enjoys a considerable advantage in two tests, namely Aliens vs. Predator and Unigine Heaven. Both these tests run on rendering engines that belong to the new generation that can make use of advanced DirectX 11 features. This is a point in favor of the GF100 architecture at large, but the GeForce GTX 465 in particular has nothing to be proud of. The Radeon HD 5850 looks a much more appealing option for a fast, yet affordable, gaming platform.
The GeForce GTX 465 is available starting today with an estimated retail price of $279 from leading add-in-card companies including Asustek Computer, EVGA, Galaxy, MSI, Palit, PNY, Zotac and others.

Today we celebrate the momentous transition from corn to graduation silks. Let us begin the great journey to move past the fields we once knew and to pop into the next phase of our lives.
It would be rash if we did not take a few moments to salute those who have led us through our formative seasons. They taught us to stand tall in the stalks, to grow straight towards the sun, and to reap what we sow with hard work. We learned from them how to unite as a community and continually lift each other up into Garrett greatness.
With these lessons firmly planted in our hearts, we venture forth to face an unknown world beyond the fields. Some of us will develop into butterfly kernels, and others may bloom into mushroom kernels. Regardless of what form we take, we carry our core values with us wherever we may go: our true corny heritage, our tasty destiny to bring fluffy delight to the world, and our potential to blend into the best of flavors.
Let us always draw upon the strength of our roots and know that even in the face of adversity, it is in our design to be a signature blend of pure joy.

Construction on Campus
Power Outage - Sunday, March 6am - 5pm
Facilities Management has scheduled a campus wide power outage for Sunday, March 3, between the hours of 6 AM and 5 PM to allow PPL to replace overheated equipment on the line feeding the campus and part of the Borough. The power outage will impact all college buildings, except the SDLCs, the Quads and the Brown Building. During the outage, PPL will replace critical equipment and Facilities will perform additional building main distribution panel and secondary switch gear cleaning and maintenance, as well as high voltage maintenance.
Currently, the forecast for March 3 is for clear weather. If that forecast changes and Sunday, March 3, is rainy, PPL cannot perform high voltage maintenance for safety reasons, so the back-up date is Monday, March 4. Headline News will communicate on Sunday only if the outage has been moved to Monday. If rescheduled for Monday, March 4, the length of the outage will be limited to the time PPL requires to complete the replacement work, estimating that their work will be completed by noon.
ITS is recommending that all computers and printers be shut down/unplugged prior to Sunday's power outage. All Dining Services facilities will be closed on Sunday during the spring break period.
Please excuse any inconvenience, but due to the critical nature of the equipment being replaced, PPL must perform this work as quickly as possible to avoid a more significant power outage.
Comments or questions concerning the power outage should be directed to Joe Metro, Director, Facilities Management and Construction at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lake Placida Dam Project - Update 1/04/13
Elizabethtown College is pleased to report that the work at the Lake Placida dam is drawing to a close. Refilling of the lake has been underway and was a slow process, as the lake level can rise only a maximum of a foot every 24 hours. This slow refilling allows the soil in the earthen dam to saturate gradually, which maintains the integrity of the dam.
What appear to be piles of rubble in the lake is fish habitat for the native game fish that will be stocked in the lake next spring. Facilities Management also has created fish spawning areas by installing pea gravel along the shallow perimeter of the lake, this helps maintain a healthy and diverse fish population. Basking logs were placed in the shallows for the turtles to utilize when they migrate back to the lake from the wetlands to which they had retreated during the initial drawdown of the lake. The fish habitat installations are another example of Facilities Management's historical emphasis to "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle," reducing the College's impact on the environment.
On Jan. 9, the College will reopen to pedestrians the walk across College Avenue, the bridge and the dam.
Later in the spring, Facilities Management will complete the following tasks:
- lake perimeter plantings
- lake fish stocking
- sealing of the bridge wood
- installation of non-skid coating on the bridge walking surface
Please be aware that the bridge wood sealing and the installation of non-skid coating must wait until the pressure treatment in the wood dries and the wood weathers for a few months, so materials will adhere to the wood. Until the non-skid has been installed, caution signs will be placed at the entrances to the bridge, reminding walkers that the wood might be slippery if wet. Please be cautious when walking on the bridge in wet or snowy weather.
Thank you for your patience as this complex project comes to completion.

From our hearts to yours.
In 1995, I was unhealthy and unhappy. At over 300 lbs, I was unable to live the active, outdoor lifestyle I desperately wanted. Then, a friend introduced me to hemp foods. Packed with nutrition, these versatile hemp foods provided the nutrients my body was craving. Before long, I had enough natural energy to climb a mountain... and a message to spread once I got there.
Honestly, these nutty little nutrient-packed seeds changed my life. Because hemp foods did wonders for me, I wanted to share them with the world! So in 1998, I, with my friends Martin and Alex, started Manitoba Harvest.
Today, we're proud to bring you Hemp Hearts, the very best and most nutritious part of the hemp seed, the heart. By shelling the hemp seed, you get only the center—with its raw nutrition, rich nutty flavor and tender crunch, It's delicious. It's sustainable. And it's packed with goodness. Try hemp—it could change your life!

I have been giving this to my dad everyday, on his oatmeal. I also use it to top cakes or ice cream, put it in smoothies, or on green beans. It is such a great product. Not all hemp seed is equal in nutrition. Check the label before you buy. In my experience, Manitoba has the highest nutritional value of all the brands available in my area. iherb has the lowest price by far, and excellent delivery time. I placed my order on a Saturday afternoon, and received my shipment on the following Tuesday. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased.
Maybe it's healthy but it tastes wierd.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Rex Ryan has been urged by Jets general manager John Idzik to make changes to his defensive coaching staff this offseason, according to an NFL.com report.
Some observations on the implications of the report, as we sit less than an hour from the Jets' season finale against the Miami Dolphins.
-- If Ryan is to make changes this offseason, it presumes Ryan will remain the Jets' head coach. Reports emerged Saturday signaling this would be the case.
-- Brian VanGorder, who is in charge of the Jets' inside linebackers, is already reportedly departing to take Notre Dame's defensive coordinator job.
-- An area of focus may be the secondary, which has struggled this season in part due to inexperience and injury. Tim McDonald is in his first year coaching defensive backs after Dennis Thurman was elevated to the defensive coordinator job last offseason.
-- Speaking of Thurman, who has been on Ryan's staff since his regime began here in 2009, will he be on the chopping block? He and Ryan are close, and Ryan has a reputation for loyalty. Thurman's contract expires after the season. Remember, it is Ryan not Thurman who calls defensive plays.
-- Karl Dunbar, the defensive line coach, was on a one-year contract entering the season also. The Jets' young defensive line has responded well to Dunbar, though, becoming the strength of the defense.

@Steiny31 - From @Brian_Bassett and I: #Jets are looking at DC candidates per source. BAL DB coach Teryl Austin & SEA DB coach Kris Richards on radar.
Thurman out?
Posted 30 December 2013 - 11:41 AM
As long as Dunbar stays, we're good. Our D-line was far too dominant for his job to be in jeopardy.
I will not be forgotten. This is my time to shine. I've got the scars to prove it. Only the strong survive.
When someone annoys u, it takes 42 muscles in ur face 2 frown. BUT, it only takes 4 muscles 2 extend ur arm & b!tch-slap that mother@*?!&! upside the head!!

Dunbar's contract is up, they have to bring him back. Hes done a graet job.
I'd fire our DB coach. We'll need a new LB coach.

Following the end of World War II, the Allied powers came together with the desire to have a forum where they could work together in the hopes of preventing future conflicts and wars. In the summer of 1945, representatives of 50 countries met in San Francisco at the United Nations Conference on International Organization where they crafted and signed the UN Charter. In the months to follow, the U.S. Senate approved the UN Charter and the United Nations officially came into existence on October 24, 1945, after 29 nations had ratified the Charter.
As President Obama said in his 2012 United Nations Day proclamation, "Throughout its history, the United Nations Charter has reflected the belief that the world is more secure when the global community acts collectively." Dedicated to assuring "the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small," the institution has played an essential role in addressing the conditions that make the world more just and conflict less likely -- "caring for children, tending to the sick and pursuing peace in places wracked by conflict."
Sixty-seven years after the UN's founding, the United States joins the global community in commemorating this historic day and marking the many ways that the United Nations supports our national interests. With robust U.S. support, the United Nations is providing food to tens of millions who need it around the world, assisting millions of refugees and people fleeing from war, famine or persecution, and is keeping the peace in regions wracked by conflict.
Join us in commemorating UN Day by finding an event hosted by your local United Nations Association; 100 Chapters are hosting more than 170 UN Day events across the nation. You can also participate in the United Nations Foundation's UN Day Twitter Chat with the Bureau of International Organization Affairs and experts from the United Nations today from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. EDT. Send your questions now using #UNDay, and follow @State_IO on Twitter.
Michael S. in the U.S.A. writes:
This is absolute hogwash. There is absolutely NOTHING to celebrate. The United Nations needs us we do not need the United Nations. We support sharing with the poor and needy. However, sending OUR hard earned
tax money to dictators and despots, including the illegitimate rogue squatting in OUR Whitehouse is ludicrous and unacceptable. These same dictators, despots, and rogues who publicly show their desire to kill us in America and OUR way of life. Stop this heinous idiocy NOW.
Tina G. in the U.S.A. writes:
The beauty of our country is freedom of speech; we can focus on the enduring celebration of diplomacy with other nations and helping developing nations create the freedoms we so easily take for granted.
Leslie L. in Wisconsin writes:
I spread the news that the ACLU & NAACP have asked the UN to send observers to the November Presidential Election in the U.S., and encouraged everyone to support & publicize their request!
