Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 7 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by lagputter1 looks like it should work Looks good. Haven't tried it yet, but will travel soon May 31, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by JZ51 Works as advertised I bought this after Southwest broke my ball retriever on a flight to Vegas. Used it on the way back and all of my clubs made it without damage. If you have a soft bag, I highly recommend. If you fly your clubs a lot, buy a hard case. The only reason this did not get 5 stars is that I'd like it to be about an inch wider all the way around. March 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ratherboard Great club protector This product is very easy to use and I like the adjustable option. December 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Skippy Product is as advertised. Product is as advertised. Its price point is well below some name brand products making it a good value. March 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by southboundmike Perfect compliment to your soft sided club bag I added this to my Club Glove Burst Proof bag to provide extra protection for my club heads. The telescoping rod fit perfectly and had plenty of adjustable length options. The adjustment button being located on the top of the canopy made length adjustment while in the bag very easy.

Rated 5 out of 5�by mac62 Spend the extra - a travel bag must have! Wouldn't put my clubs in a travel bag without one. February 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cotero Perfect To Protect My Golf Clubs Sturdy and lightweight and adjustable Backbone. It protects my Driver from being jammed during travel transit with the airlines. Very happy with the product. April 1, 2013

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Fantastic event!In full: This was a tough but great event... good value, nice people, absolutely fantastic marshals who made it so much better in tough conditions.... and a great atmosphere both at the start and finish with no big egos like you get at some events. Well worth the 48mile travel, and I would gladly do this event again rather than some much closer ones. Well done to all involved in the organisation and marshalling of this event, you should be proud of yourselves! Date of review: December 7, 2015
In short: Another great eventIn full: I have done this race for the last 3 years, and always thoroughly enjoy the race format on the track. Fantastic that the organisers worked hard to ensure the race went ahead despite the terrible weather the week before. The only downside for me was due to the races being closer this year, the track seemed a lot more congested this year, and felt things were a bit precarious at some points. Date of review: November 30, 2012
In short: Tough race but well worth it... great organisation with a friendly atmosphere, well done!Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Great race... much appreciation to the marshalls stood in the cold! Well organised with a nice atmosphere, and the flapjack and coffee at the end went down well! Date of review: January 30, 2011
In short: Very enjoyable, despite the ice, hills, mud...! In full: A well organised race, great atmosphere, with no big egos..will definately return, but with the right footwear!Date of review: December 28, 2009
In short: Well organised, tough but enjoyable race..not a PB course!Date of review: September 27, 2009
In short: Fantastically organised race!In full: As usual, I thought this race was fantastic, with a great atmosphere. My kids loved the races too, with a nice medal and goody bag at the end, thanks for putting in the effort with the kids races.Date of review: June 8, 2008
In short: Fantastic race, excellent organisation and marshallimgIn full: This was the first time I have ran this race, but hopefully not the last. A great race, with top class marshalling, and a good course, with a mixture of hills and faster sections. Brilliant!Date of review: January 20, 2008
In short: Enjoyable race with a fast courseIn full: Well organised race, with a fast course, although a bit tight on the paths towards the end when the feild was spread out. Would be so much better if the finish was in the grass arena area in the park, but I guess the course measurement dictates the syart and finish. Overall very good, and a nice medal at the end!Date of review: December 17, 2007

Food for Thought: Sustainable Agriculture Lecture
Brian Bennett, of Bittersweet Farm in Heuvelton, was named the New York Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA NY) '2014 Farmer of the Year.' For almost a decade Bittersweet Farm has supported St. Lawrence University students learning about the principles and practicing the skills of sustainable agriculture and community building.
The Center for Civic Engagement, North Country Folk Series and the Sustainability Semester are excited to bring Brian to campus to share the keynote speech he gave at the NOFA NY winter conference in January.
fifty minutes Brian tells, and shows, the story of his farm and his
relationship to the land and community including many heartwarming and
hilarious experiences he has shared with students.
"...Mike, Ben, Corey, and RJ had been coming to the farm for a couple of years. After having read the Foxfire books, The Whole Earth Catalogs and my copy of the Little House on the Prairie series they decided to build a real log cabin. Their parents paid for an antique crosscut saw and double bit axes....Let me tell you about Rolando. Born and raised in New York City he is/was a self proclaimed germophobe. He would come into the house wash his hands then wash the doorknob off to go back outside then promptly turn around, go back into the house and wash his hands again..."
This event is free and open to the public.
Community members can locate Hepburn as number 40 on the campus map and should park in F-lot, accessed by taking a right off of Park Street (coming from town) onto Lincoln Street, followed by the first left into the parking lot.

Red Wings deserve the benefit of the doubt
There seems to be a slight air of disappointment among Red Wings nation this week, as it was announced Tuesday that the prize of this year's free agent class, Vincent Lecavalier signed with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Count me among those clad in red and white who's eyes widened when the Tampa Bay Lightning bought out the contract of the face of their franchise. And sure, I drooled a bit when he spoke of the two teams he revered most – Detroit and Montreal.
It seemed the perfect marriage. The Red Wings are widely assumed to be shipping off the rights to free agent Valtteri Filppula, so they are in need of a reliable second-line center. Filppula was never quite it in Detroit. A consistent second-line center enables Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg to play together on the top line and the Red Wings are at their best when that happens. Filppula's shortcomings often forced coach Mike Babcock to move Zetterberg down to the second line.
So Lecavalier would come in, provide consistency and skill in that spot, and instantly make second-line winger Johan Franzen better in the process.
Except, he wanted too long of a contract. Detroit, I'm assuming was looking for somewhere in the 2-3 year range at $5 million per year. Lecavalier, reportedly demanded no less than five years.
Well, after 22 consecutive years of making an appearance in the postseason, perhaps Detroit should get the benefit of the doubt here. The Red Wings didn't get where they are by overpaying for free agents. Even during the free agent free-for-all frenzy of 2001, Hall of Fame winger Luc Robitalle was signed for a paltry $3 million. Brett Hull? $2 million.
General Manager Ken Holland is as savvy as they come and always has one eye fixed on the present and his other scanning the future. He sees forwards like Riley Sheahan and Tomas Jurco being refined in the minors, he sees ripe prospects such as Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson ready to contribute full time. He can spend $25 million over a five year contract now on a free agent, but then what happens when you need to sign the talent developed within the organization?
This much is true, since the advent of the salary cap, giants have risen and fallen. Only two franchises, Detroit and San Jose have made the playoffs every year since. That doesn't happen by accident. Great organizations are not built by wooing the top free agents, but by being the best at drafting and developing talent. The top NFL organizations mirror this truth as well. Just look at the New England Patriots. Aside from the occasional splurge, like signing Randy Moss, there is a core of drafted and developed talent.
Detroit also has a history of letting their prospects 'over-ripen in the minors to coin a term used by Holland, at least when the environment of the team allows.
It is even more revealing then, that when Nyquist, Andersson and Danny DeKeyser, along with others, were pressed into action early, they not only contributed, they looked good doing it. Detroit's competitive advantage of old, of being able to scour the wilderness of the European leagues is now gone. Everyone knows everything these days. But it's clear that the Red Wings still have the upper hand in drafting and developing talent. So much so, that for the past few seasons, team's begged and pleaded to speak to assistant GM Jim Nill; until he finally listened this offseason and accepted a job with the Dallas Stars. Already, the Dallas media is singing Nill's praises. The Tampa Bay Lightning swiped Steve Yzerman from the Detroit front office a couple years ago as well. He won't be the last hot executive from this franchise to come in demand.
So though it is an adjustment for Detroit fans, not to get the hot free agent, it's not worth a worry. With the best amateur scouts, the best GM, the best coach in the NHL aboard, this franchise will stay competitive. Bank on it.

If you don't like the recent trend of science and religion yelling at each other, you might like this book. Jonathan Sacks argues, like many before him, that science and religion are compatible, "more than compatible," harmonious. Like two sides of the same coin and the right and left hemispheres of the brain, they need each other. He actually takes the brain analogy literally. Science is a left-brain activity; it analyzes things, pulls them apart, explains them. Religion is a right-brain activity; it joins things together, tells stories, focuses on relationships, and interprets things. They are simply two different ways of being, two different perspectives on the world. A thing is a thing and a person is a person.
He also makes a very interesting point about why we Westerners confuse science and religion. He blames it on the Greeks! The Jewish religion, he says, was not scientific or philosophical at all. Neither was early Christianity. But then Christianity was married with Greek philosophy and science. Saint Thomas Aquinas, for example, created a beautiful system of Christianity based on Aristotle's science and metaphysics and the Bible. Science and religion became one. Once we figured out Aristotle was wrong, it chipped away at religion too, etc. Get it? They became enemies because they were on the same turf.
What I liked most about the book is that the Rabbi Jonathan Sacks knows his science and religion and philosophy (of course he is definitely an Old Testament scholar), which is nice. Usually these books are written by a scientist pretending to be a theologian, or a theologian pretending to be scientific. The book starts strong and ends strong, but the middle gets repetitive and loses its' vigor. Not a bad read!

Messy yet Classy Hobo Chic Style
Blonde twists are not exclusive for women. Even men can wear it pride just like this hairstyle by Jean Louis David. Here the hair is rolled up and converted into loose pieces of curls which color is intensified by the brown base. It created a volume of mess with texture that don't hurt the eye even when creased together. Of course the sides should be clean cut to draw a frame that connects to the beard cupping the face.

pick the animal?
The health and well being of the animals at our Zoo is extremely
important. Therefore, the Animal Ambassadors that we use for these types
of programs are on a schedule so that they do not become overused and

Want to make your business 71% more valuable?
Through an analysis of 6,955 businesses, we've discovered that companies that achieve a Sellability Score of 80+ out of a possible 100 receive offers to buy their business that are 71% higher than what the average company receives. Whether you want to sell your business soon or keep it forever, the ultimate litmus test of any business involves a simple question: would someone want to buy your business?
What is the Sellability Score
The Sellability Score is an interactive tool that gives you a comprehensive assessment of the "sellability" of your business, whether you want to sell next year or just know you're building a valuable asset for the future. When you complete the Sellability questionnaire, you'll get an overall Sellability Score out of 100 plus your score on the eight key drivers of Sellability, which are statistically proven to increase the value of your company.
The Book That Inspired A Movement
The Sellability Score was created by a team of researchers led by John Warrillow, author of the international bestseller Built to Sell: Creating A Business That Can Thrive Without You. The book inspired a movement of entrepreneurs who recognize that the ultimate test of a business is not how big it is, but how valuable it can become.
The Science Behind The Score

Moderator edit: Thanks for sharing your gaiwan-s! This topic made me wonder ... we need an "official show off your gaiwan" topic ... so hopefully tst will not mind if I convert this inspirational topic to the official topic???!!!
I will possibly convert this to a "stickied topic" soon.
Immoderate TeaDrinker who happens to Moderate
Hello all,
I've only been a member of this community for a short while (been lurking for a bit longer). I finally got around to photographing some of my teawares, and I thought I'd share them.
For some reason, I am drawn to gaiwans ... I'm not sure why (although I've recently been bitten by the yixing bug ).
Here are the gaiwans I've accumulated so far. My collection is small, but I'll no doubt continue to add to it.
First up. I acquired this one maybe 8 months ago or so. The previous owner claims it was purchased at an antiques fair, however I do not know the exact age. This is a somewhat common "rice grain" pattern. Not sure about the initials/characters written on it. I'm about as unfamiliar with Chinese characters as anyone could possibly be Anyone have any ideas? The chip in the saucer could have been a disaster (the saucer stuck to the cup from dried tea when I went to lift the cup up ... very easy way to learn a valuable lesson).
Next up is another very, very common pattern, though I can't remember what it's called at the moment. I know there are very modern gaiwans like this, as well as some a few decades old. Considering the price I bought this one for ($1), I could really care less about whether it's older or newer, though it would be nice to know. This one had the damage when I bought it
Finally, this just arrived today. Previous owner claims she bought this from an antiques dealer, and that he immigrated to the United States from Scotland many years ago, and that he brought this with him when he came. It seems old to me, but I have no idea. It has some slight hairlines and some chips in the saucer. I did manage to find the mark (or one very similar) on the Gotheborg website (http://gotheborg.com/marks/index-china-marks.htm) under "144. Shen De Tang Zhi".
I'm curious for any and all input some of you experts might be willing to give. Are any of these antique? Again, I really don't care either way, as I like them all regardless.
Thanks for looking.

Haute Cuisine: Nigiri Maki
The Dish: Nigiri Maki Chef Galine at Chefs de France on the Caribbean island of St. Maarten begins making this tantalizing Japanese platter by rolling sushi rice between his palms. Then he drapes the sushi with a thin slice of squid, octopus or eel and binds it together with a strip of nori, or edible seaweed. The result is makizushi (translation: "rolled sushi"), the best-known form of which in the U.S. is the California roll. A typical Nigiri Maki platter from Chefs de France features maki rolls of sweet shrimp, squid, flying fish roe and freshwater eel along with nigiri that includes salmon and tuna. The sushi rice is a white, short-grained product mixed with a light dressing of rice vinegar, sugar and salt.

Help our weather
This is on global warming and atmospheric pollution.
Yes, we are spraying USA, Canada and our surrounding oceans to prevent global warming.
We are removing elements from the air to prevent global warming hundreds and thousands of years from now. It is costing us billions upon billions of dollars and is helping to change our existing weather patterns, like the increase in tornados, more flooding in many areas and extra dry in some areas.
This is causing the loss of many lives and billions of dollars in damage. I suggest we put a five-year moratorium on this program. It will not drastically affect global warming but will probably help our weather patterns. At the very least it will help our deficit budget problem.
Along the same weather issue is industrial pollution. Many of our manufacturing jobs have gone overseas and increased our costs for these products and a loss of thousands of jobs.
Take one issue I am familiar with is coal fired generators. In our area we have lost coal generated power. As I understand we have lost 25 jobs and our electrical bills will increase 10 percent. One suggestion I have for this type of situation is if over 60 percent of the people in the area affected by the pollution approve of the operation, then leave it operate.
Also, we should put a tariff on any product coming into this country that is manufactured without pollution control. At least this will help our deficit budget even if it doesn't help our job situation.

The Certified Hospice Program of Neighborhood Health Agencies, Inc. (NHA), a part of The Chester County Hospital and Health System, focuses care on comfort and quality of life for patients and their families facing end-of-life issues. Patients' medical, psychosocial and spiritual needs are met through the expertise of hospice team members, including physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, therapists, volunteers and a bereavement coordinator.
Hospice care is appropriate when one's life expectancy is measured in months rather than years, due to a life-limiting illness such as heart or lung disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, renal failure, or Parkinson's. The Hospice Program neither hastens nor postpones death; rather, it allows families to care for loved ones in familiar and comfortable surroundings. Hospice care can be provided in the home; skilled nursing, assisted living, and continuous care facilities; or NHA's hospice in-patient unit.

Diane took a break amidst a full-on Fashion Week to appear on Good Morning America on Tuesday where she chatted with Robin Roberts about the Third Annual DVF Awards and formally presented our nominees for this year's People's Voice Awards.
Looking fresh in a mix-printed wrap from our Spring collection, Diane encouraged viewers to vote for the woman who they find most inspiring at DVFAwards.com, and explained why she started The DVF Awards three years ago. "I have always been such a fan of women. And as I have empowered myself, I like to empower other women."
In advance of her visit to the Good Morning America studio, Diane wrote a blog about the three women who have inspired her most in her own life.
And Robin couldn't let Diane get away without touching on some of the season's hottest trends. So, what top three things should you be stocking up on for Spring? As Diane put it: Whites, Blooming Florals and Soft Pastels, "but mixed together in a very unusual way. So it all looks very effortless but it's very glamorous!"

Trade LSD for Speed - Page 2
The Complete Recipe
Logging miles at a moderate pace encourages overall musculoskeletal strengthening and teaches your muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones to handle pounding over many miles. It also spurs capillary growth, which is involved in your body's ability to deliver oxygen to muscles.
While these physiological adaptations are important, experts say you can get too much of a good thing. "Long runs are the bread and butter and provide a great foundation for an endurance runner's training formula, but they are not the only element," explains Coach Jenny Hadfield, author of the Running for Mortals book series. "It's kind of like creating a chili recipe and only putting in beans. All you end up having then is bean soup."
Coach Paul Stofko, an ultrarunner and head coach for several ultrarunning training camps in Estes Park, Colorado, agrees: "Especially in ultrarunning, we sometimes neglect the speed work and intervals and just worry about the long miles."
LSD will get you to the finish line, but you might find yourself left in the dust with only one gear. Elite trail runner Brandy Erholtz has experienced this first hand after running high mileage with little speed training. "Slow legs can be frustrating—aerobically you feel great but just don't have the 'oomph' you need to propel yourself faster, and don't even think about a finishing kick," says the USATF two-time Female Mountain Runner of the Year.
"Speed is especially important if you want to be competitive in a trail race," says Stofko. "You have to change your pace a lot in these races. Your competitiveness on race day is definitely going to decrease if you haven't been doing any speed work.
Interval Base
"I have found the bigger the base, the faster I am able to go in my speed sessions and the better racing season I can have," says Erholtz. "Once the endurance is there, begin to add some variety in the form of speed."
As Hadfield says, "Add a little cayenne pepper to that chili recipe."Interval training increases both your VO2max and lactate threshold. VO2max determines how efficient a runner's body is at transporting and using oxygen during exercise. Lactate threshold (LT) is determined by what exercise intensity lactic acid begins to accumulate in your blood stream. The more you train your body, the more intensity it can handle before starting that accumulation. Together, these two markers play a major role in determining running performance.
A study published last year in the British Journal of Sports Medicine compared the effects of long, slow distance training to high-intensity interval training. One group was prescribed six intervals of two minutes each to complete three times a week, while the other group did 60 minutes of slow, continuous running five days a week. After six weeks, the results were conclusive: the interval-trained group showed significantly more improvement in VO2max, despite the fact that they ran fewer days.
Further, recent research out of Minnesota State University found a relationship between frequency of interval training and the amount of improvement in LT. After assigning one group to one interval training session a week and another to two per week, they discovered that the latter group saw a greater upswing in their LTs.
Regardless of the scientific data, fast running in training will mentally prepare you for faster racing. "Speed sessions just help me feel sharp and ready to race," says Erholtz. "While doing them I try and visualize both competition and race courses to create the muscle memory necessary for racing."

Posted on 09/07/2010 9:07:51 AM PDT by Qbert
Republican Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware appears well positioned to win next Tuesday's GOP Senate primary and run a competitive campaign for the seat Vice President Joe Biden occupied for 36 years.
He has millions of dollars in his campaign coffers, support from the Republican establishment and a tidal wave of national public opinion swinging in his favor. Recent statewide polls put him well ahead of his opponent, Christine O'Donnell.
But appearances can be deceiving, especially when the Tea Party Express throws its weight behind a primary challenger, as the case of felled Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski showed last month.
O'Donnell, a marketing consultant who ran unsuccessfully against Biden in 2008, is vowing to give Castle, a former governor and nine-term congressman, a run for his money, making the race the next big test for establishment Republicans who are trying to keep their jobs.
The Tea Party Express has spent $250,000 campaigning for O'Donnell so far, airing its first ad last week that cast O'Donnell as the more conservative candidate and Castle as "one of the most liberal Republicans in Congress."
Castle voted against the Recovery Act and Democrats' health care law, but he supported the 2008 bank bailout, cap-and-trade legislation and Democrats' campaign finance measure known as the Disclose Act. He also voted for the state fiscal aid bill last month.
A Tea Party Express poll of likely Republican voters last week showed O'Donnell and Castle in a dead heat.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
The corrupt MSM just simply does not understand (or refuses to understand) exactly what's going on "out there".
BTTT for Christine!
O'Donnel is a horrible candidate. If she is nominated she will lose.
"..."My opponent has a sense of entitlement and assumes Delaware voters are just going to hand him a U.S. Senate seat," she said last week, "but I prefer to hand him a pink slip."
Exactly Christine!
You yourself may indeed in the long run not turn out to be the antidote, to return America to respecting and supporting the responsible while turning the lazy and irresponsible to face themselves, in which case you should go in turn. But for now please please get people like Mike Castle, the subversive professional politicians, out of our government.
"ODonnel is a horrible candidate. If she is nominated she will lose."
Well, Mike Castle is a horrible politician. If he wins, he will undermine everything that the conservative cause has been striving for in the past two years.
And he will be used as a pawn by the administration (and the MSM) to go along with the radical agenda and demonstrate what "a good Republican" is supposed to look like, unlike all those "hateful extremists" who dare to oppose Obama's policies.
Castle is also refusing to repeal Obamacare, that alone should disqualify him.
NBC Obama channel blogger calls Tea Party members 'Tea Nuts'

Tea's Nuts: Brady Brings the Tea Party to Cook County but, Like, Why?
Source: http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/bill-brady-tea-party-morton-grove-cook-county.html#ixzz0yrSTrVnd
We have an answer - check this out...
Well ..... we're waiting ...
"Castles terms marked the full establishment of what Delaware political commentator Celia Cohen has called the Age of Incumbency. Following du Ponts very successful and popular terms as Governor, Delaware politics seemed to have reached a consensus, with leaders of both parties being regularly re-elected, while working closely and quietly together on a conservative fiscal low tax, pro business, and clean government agenda.
Prior to du Pont only four men had served eight years as Governor and one of those had two non-consecutive terms. From 1977 until the present there have been four governors, two from each party, each emulating Castle in essentially carrying out the program initiated by Pierre S. du Pont, IV."
Please elaborate instead of posting a hit-and-run piece.
What makes her a horrible candidate? She has had some financial and personal issues, yes, but how does that translate into her being a bad candidate?
She's not going to vote for liberal garbage like Castle is.
Christine's unflinching positions:
Pro-Constitution - Pro-National Defense - Pro-Life - Pro-Family - Pro-Second Amendment - Pro-States Rights - Pro-Border Security - Pro-Free Market - Pro-Freedom - Anti-High Taxes - Anti-Big Government - Anti-ObamaCare.
(Aren't these the values we said we are looking for?)

Wow! I can't wait for the movie to come out. The trailer is great!
Some scaredy cats just refuse to believe a conservative can win in Delaware (presumably, they believe the same about the entire northeast). O'Donnell can win if she does not have to fight her own party after winning the primary.
So, there!
I am not a fan of Castle, but at least be honest about his position. He is not in favor of trying to repeal Obamacare because Obama would veto any such bill, and so it would be a waste of time and effort. He has said he would support such an effort if a GOP president is elected in 2012.
Now, you might think it is worth trying to repeal Obamacare even with the knowledge the effort will be vetoed, and that is a legitimate opinion. But I think there is a big difference between saying I don't want to repeal Obamacare, and saying I don't believe we can repeal Obamacare right now...
That being said, I would be okay if she wins the primary. I really would rather the GOP not take over the Senate this cycle, because I don't want to give Obama a "do-nothing Republican Congress" to run against in 2012. He wills till try, but it will be a harder sell if the Senate is still run by the Dems. And with the filibuster, 49 or 50 GOP senators can prevent any offensive legislation from passing, even if Snowe, Collins, Brown, Graham and McCain ALL voted with the Dems.
Those that do not see what we what for a future, (our constitutionally limited republic back) and politically stabbed us in the back are paying the price, Bennett, Murkowski, but not McCain.
Castle should be next, we are mad as hell and we do not want to take it anymore, get rid of all the career politicans, especially namby pamby Rinos like him. Bla bla bla she can't win, who cares, let us go down swinging.
Go Christine Go...
Just donated to Christine. No RHINO's please!
Why would forcing Obama to veto a repeal of Obamacare be a waste? Sounds to me like a picture perfect issue to frame the 2012 election with.
I don't know, but it seems like it is at least a reasonable opinion, even if you don't agree. I'm with you, I think making him defend this horrible legislation with a veto gives us more ammo. But I can see where others might have different opinions.
It also is a far cry from someone making a blanket statement that they would not repeal Obamacare under any circumstances, which seemed to be what the poster implied.
Really? Why? And be specific, without quoting the Castle lies.
I stood on the mall and protested the night before they passed this monster and I can't abide anyone, candidate or Congressman, dismissing it. Whether they can actually repeal it or not, stopping it should be every conservative's #1 priority. Boehner says he'll defund it, whatever it takes and that's what I want to hear.
This was the turning point for many Americans, where they finally got involved and decided to fight back against politician's who completely ignored the wishes of the American people.
I don't live in DE so I guess my opinion doesn't matter much but a lukewarm, "we'll get to it when it's more realistic," wouldn't do for me.
"Just donated to Christine. No RHINOs please!"
Right on!
Then we ought to put our best foot forward and try our damndest so she can win.
There we go. Thanks for the banner! I love O'Donnell and I think she will make a fabulous candidate!

Topic: Autocomplete Association + Live Search
My first tutorial. There may be many better ways to do this and add on to this. And thats exactly what im hoping will come out of this post. Ive been digging around and have been helped by a lot of people with this.
These are the models we have
Company has_many Contacts
Contact belongs_to Company
Contact has_many Reminders
Reminder belongs_to Contact
The idea is to send a Reminder to a contact via email. This is the work flow that this tutorial is going to cover.
1.User starts typing either the contact's name or contact's email into the 'To' field.
2.Autocomplete kicks off and returns matching contacts.
3.User scrolls down options and selects the one he/she wants.
4.Selected option appears on the text box
4a. Only the name appears in the text box. But name, email address and company name are shown in the options list.
5.A live search runs and updates an adjacent div with more details about the chosen contact and his employer(the associated Company model).
6. When the form is submitted, the Reminder created should carry the id of the Contact it was sent to as the foreign key (ie) the association should be created. I followed Ryan Bates tutorial - Railscasts episode 102 - Autocomplete Association for this one.
You will have to install the auto_complete plugin before you start if you are running Rails 2 or above.
script/plugin install http://svn.rubyonrails. org/rails/plugins/auto_complete
Now, the code. Starting with the view. app/views/reminders/_reminder.rhtml.erb
<%#Autocomplete Association%>
To: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :reminder, :contact_name, {:size => 50}, {:skip_style => false, :url => list_contacts_path(), :method => :get,:with =>"'reminder_contact_name=' + element.value"}%>

<%#Live search%>
:align => 'absmiddle',
:border => 0,
:id => 'spinner',
:style => "display: none;") %>
<%= observe_field 'reminder_contact_name',
:frequency => 0.5,
:update => 'contact',
:before => "Element.show('spinner')",
:success => "Element.hide('spinner')",
:url => list_companies_path(),:method =>:get,
:with => 'reminder_contact_name' %>
Contact info:

A few points here
-text_field_with_autocomplete is a helper method that comes with the plugin.
-most tutorials suggest setting :skip_style => true to override the default CSS styles in case you are writing your own CSS. The default CSS is good enough for me. Incidentally, if i set it to false, i get the results listed but the surrounding wrapper and the highlighting of selected options etc are gone. For the record.
-list_contacts_path is the controller action that is going to return matched results. Its a REST url and the method :get needs to be specified.
-:with is the option that lets you pass the parameters. 'reminder_contact_name' is just a variable name and can be anything you want. element.value gives the value entered in the field.
-download the spinner image if you have not got it and put it in the public/images folder for the live search.
-observe_field updates the 'contact' div. notice the :with option. Setting it to the field name sends the value in that field under the same name as parameter.
controller code for autocomplete. app/controllers/contacts_controller.rb
def list
@contacts = Contacts.find(:all, :conditions => ['name LIKE ? OR email LIKE ?', "%#{params[:reminder_contact_name]}%", "%#{params[:reminder_contact_name]}%"])
if request.xml_http_request?
render :partial => "list", :layout => false
the query is designed to match the contact_name as well as the email. renders the list partial. setting :layout=>false is important to avoid getting your application layout or other default layout rendered along with the autocomplete results.
<%- for contact in @contacts do -%>

<%=h contact.name %>

<%=h contact.email %>|<%=h contact.company.name %>

<%- end -%>
This shows the contact name, the email, and the company the contact belongs to. You can pretty much show anything you want here using @contacts but its a good idea to show only distinguishing details in autocomplete results.
Setting the div class to 'informal' takes care of step 4a (ie) set div class to informal for those fields that you do not want to appear on the text box when an option is selected.
Now the controller code for the live search.
def list
unless params[:reminder_contact_name].blank?
@contact = Contacts.find_by_name(params[:reminder_contact_name])
if @contact
@company = @contact.company
if request.xml_http_request?
if !@company.blank?
render :partial => "show", :layout => false
elsif params[:reminder_contact_name].blank?
render :text => "Please enter a contact's name or email address"
elsif @company.blank?
render :text => "Info not found for '#{params[:reminder_contact_name]}'"
render :text => "Please select a contact"
The second half of the code here isnt really very pretty. Was trying to cover various possible states of the live search. Definitely an area that can use polishing up.

Company name: <%=h @company.name %>

Address : <%=h @company.address_1%> <%=h @company.address_2%>
<%=h @company.city%> <%=h @company.state%> <%=h @company.country%>
<%=h @company.zip%>

Again, you can show pretty much anything you want here using the @company instance variable.
One last piece of code. The contact_name field in the autocomplete is not really an attribute of the reminder model. Its a virtual attribute. So this virtual attribute needs a getter and setter method in the Reminder model.
def contact_name
contact.name if contact
def contact_name=(name)
unless name.blank?
self.contact = Contacts.find_by_name(name)
if self.contact.blank?
self.contact = Contacts.find_or_create_by_email(name)
I have not tested the find_or_create_by in this. What it should do is, if the contact with the given name is not found, it searches for a contact with the given email. If it does not find one, it creates a Contact with that email. And the Reminder is sent to that email address. This I am doing to make the process of sending a Reminder, either to an existing or new contact, as easy and seamless as possible for the user.
One other gotcha. Dont use too many divs in the partials that render the results of the autocomplete and live search. It does not work in Safari.
Except for that, this code works with Safari(latest), FF(latest), IE7 and IE6. I hope i have covered everything.
Thanks to Duplex, Xavier Noria, Neil and of course Ryan Bates for their direct/indirect help with this.
Some other stuff you might wanna refer.
http://groups.google.co.in/group/rubyon &pli=1
http://railscasts.com/episodes/102-auto ssociation
And finally, the small problem that I am yet to fix. In the setter method for the virtual attribute contact_name, i need to scope the query through current_user. but current_user is a helper method. And the params hash(which carries the current_user_id in my case) too is not available in the model. Hope someone can help me out with that. Details here.

BB10 wish list - integrated phone book
One thing I would like to see on the new bb10 is an integrated or linked phone book contacts. Not aware of anything like this.
For example my parents have the same:
Home address
home phone
anniversary date
but have different:
cell phones
work numbers / addresses
It would be nice to be able to link the similar elements while still having independent profiles. Perhaps beside the entry, there's a "+" which would give the option "Link with another contact".
Just a thought.

Re: BB10 wish list - integrated phone book
I think the actual BlackBerry devices can do so, and it's quite simple. When you add a contact, you can enter his/her birthday, you can add up the house phone, the mobile phone, the office phone, etc.

Re: BB10 wish list - integrated phone book
What I want is that the contact list could be a smart app. Like I add a new contact with only his phone number and his name, after I add him on FB, Twitter, Instagram and others social networks, and on all of the social networks he has his real name (the one I added onto my contact list) and the contacts app recognize that he and I are friends on the social networks and the app links all his social accounts to his contact. That'd be an incredibly awesome and outstanding feature.

What benefits do you expect from something of this nature?
- 12-24-12, 08:16 PM Thread Author #5
Another thing is integrated apps which access birthdays and emails and such. It'd streamline anniversary notices by half too.
I'd think of more reasons, but I'm pretty heavy into the egg nog right now.

isn't that already the case on the Playbook???
i always get emails from people ive never met on my work address, like prospects. When i tap the contact (even when not saved in contact list), you get all linked in info. I doubt you will have anything that will automatically sync with facebook or twitter tho. but when you link a contact to a facebook friend, all the info appear in the contact

Re: BB10 wish list - integrated phone book
At Blackberry 10, where all social network and email account can be used to sync all contact list in it. So, when your socmed and email contact list already sync to your BB10, you can link them all. For example:
Your brother's name is: Andrew. His twitter account is @slasher. His facebook is firstname.lastname@example.com, his linkedin is Andrew.
So, you put all information into a single contact account for your brother: Andrew.
So, when you need to tweet him, you just need to mention his name. CMIIW, IMHO.
I will try to illustrate this with screen captures that I have. Need to cover something in those pictures first.

OP isn't asking for all of one person's info to be integrated but for people who share a lot of contact details to be partially melded. So he wants separate entries for his Mum and Dad so that he can put in their different birthdays and mobile nos but not having to input their address/home number twice. I kinda feel the same but don't know quite how it could be done. Currently if two people share the same number on BB it seemingly picks one contact randomly to show when you're called by that no. On the iPhone it says Mum/Dad, but it would be nice if it could say Mum and Dad - that sort of clever integration is what the OP is after I think.

While that would be useful, I actually would like to see integration in another way. For example, I want with my BlackBerry to have a dedicated contact page for myself. This would include my name(as I choose to share it), Phone #, PIN, email address(es), Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. The info that I want to share with people. Then when I want to share my info with someone, I can just either through barcode scanning, or NFC Tag, whatever just send the whole thing as one unit or choose to select the info I want to send them. Would be very handy for networking I think and would help eliminate duplicate contacts or having my BBM contacts separated from my phone contacts when they are the same person(should I want too).
- 12-26-12, 12:59 AM Thread Author #13
That is exactly what I meant. That integration which would be intuitive that maybe two people who you know may live at the same address which has a common phone number. Or six people with whom you work with all have different email accounts but the same work fax number.
EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com [+]
ADDRESS: 123 Fake St. Springfield. [+]
Click on the [+] and a popup / drop down menu appears with
Perhaps even if you enter the same last name as an existing contact, it'll automatically ask if you want to link to those accounts.
Just spit-balling here to see what sticks.

Edit: I should add I've never put much effort into searching for a solution via an app or another platform as it's more a nice to have rather than a necessity but if anyone knows of other platforms' or apps' solutions to this I'd like to hear

And my Wish List (as I mentioned in other thread) is:
- good quality, reasonably priced bluetooth headphones with water/sweat ressistance
- water resistant/water-proof and sleek case with smart cover so it can be convered into a stand as well
- connectivity to bluetooth watch (a long time ago, in 2006, I purchased Abacus MobileWear Bluetooth Watch and it used to work with Sony Eric phones. It was pretty awesome)
- charging docking station for BlackBerry 10 (preferably with HDMI out and audio out ports)
BlackBerrys usually come with earphones, case. For first few BlackBerry 10 device, it'd be really nice, if BlackBerry 10 came with
a) good quality case b) screen protector c) good quality earphones d) some sort of dock/mount e) wireless charging unit f) some basic cables such as Micro HDMI cable or connector, USB cable etc.
Audio/Video features:
- BB 10 should support streaming via Bluetooth via APT-X codecs (not just a2dp sbc)
- Equalizer options
- Airplay like feature for streaming to wireless speakers and wireless tv (probably DLNA over Wifi?)
- Screen mirroring to TV etc (like Macbooks do)
- Fast Forward and Rewind (not just skip, but actual ability to watch video in faster or slower frame rate, like you'd do in old VCR).
Camera features:-
- bigger sensor for better quality night-shots / low light shots
- time lapse
- very fast camera (no lag between shots, like iPhone 5)
- auto focus
- good flash (maybe dual led flash?) but led should not be located right next to camera lens because a flash right next to lens causes some distortion
Data features:
- Ability to use most apps and browser without BB specific data plan. Right now, almost all apps require access to BIS data plan.
- True VOIP functionality over WiFI and 3G (VoIP client that can be used with any SIP/VOIP provider)
- Ability to monitor data usage per application.
Email app features:
- When I configure multiple email accounts, I want to be able to specify a color for every email account in HUB. Right now, for eg: if you send a PIN message on BlackBerry. The message appears in RED color. Similarly, in unified inbox/hub, I want to specify a different color for different email accounts.
- ability to password protect email-app and sms-inbox with additional password. Say, I unlock my BlackBerry and give it to a friend. I'd like my friend to be able to use my BlackBerry but still not be able to open my emails, sms, pictures and videos.
BBM & BBM Voice:
- Ability to turn-off BBM Voice while still on WiFi.
- Cross platform messaging (maybe create a LiveProfile app. Then people on iOS, Android, Windows can download LiveProfile and add BlackBerry users as contacts)
- Block functionality for BBM broadcast messages
- Block/Appear-offline features on BBM Voice for certain contacts
- universal search
- RIM should create a feature request page (see my post here: http://forums.crackberry.com/general...ry-rim-758440/ )
- Ability to password lock individual apps. Eg: I might unlock my BlackBerry for a kid but want to make sure that certain apps or areas are behind a password. Maybe email app can continue to be behind a second password. Basically, I want to be able to password-protect individual apps, pictures, videos, music etc.
- GPS (turn by turn, voice directions)
- Much better than Siri voice integration/commands
- WIRELESS Charging

Complaints – Professional Conduct
Complaints - Professional Conduct
- Basis for complaints
- Making a complaint
- Investigating a complaint
- Professional Conduct Committee
- Outcome of a complaint
Engineers Australia has a detailed and regulated process for handling complaints against members and office bearers in accordance with Division 4 of the General Regulations 2013.
Download a copy of the General Regulations 2013 (PDF 645kb)
A complaint to Engineers Australia can only be considered if it relates to a member or office bearer who is alleged to have engaged in unacceptable conduct, has breached the Engineers Australia Code of Ethics, or the Office Bearer Code of Conduct.
'Unacceptable conduct' may include, but is not limited to:
- a failure to observe one or more requirements of Engineers Australia's By-laws or Code of Ethics;
- a failure to maintain appropriate engineering standards as determined by the Professional Conduct Committee;
- conviction for an indictable offence or another offence that, in the opinion of the Professional Conduct Committee, renders the person unfit to be a member of Engineers Australia or be registered on the NER; or
- conduct, whether an act or omission, that occurs outside the practice of engineering, that would justify a finding by the Professional Conduct Committee that a person is unfit to remain a member of Engineers Australia, an office bearer or to be registered.
Complaints against members of Engineers Australia are handled in accordance with Division 4 of the General Regulations 2013 (regulations 2.26-2.35).
Basis for complaints
If you are dissatisfied with the conduct of a member of Engineers Australia there are a number of steps you can take to try and resolve your concerns.
The first step is to raise your concerns directly with the relevant person. We encourage you to keep a record of the date of the communication and the outcome. If the matter cannot be resolved, we recommend that you telephone Engineers Australia to confirm that the person is a member. Please note that under our By-laws, the General Regulations and our Privacy Policy we can only disclose certain information namely: a confirmation of membership, the category, grade and title of the member, whether or not the person is a member of a College, and whether they hold a chartered title.
If the person is not a member, then Engineers Australia has no authority to commence an investigation or take any action regarding the person's professional conduct.
Engineers Australia is also not able to offer legal advice in relation to contractual or common law disputes or criminal matters and the complaints process will not result in financial restitution or compensation. The appropriate avenue for dealing with such matters is either via an alternative dispute mechanism such as mediation or arbitration, through direct court action or through an ombudsman. Criminal matters are the responsibility of the police, or other relevant government agency.
Engineers Australia's complaints process is confined to making sure that members maintain appropriate engineering standards and conduct themselves in accordance with the values and principles of the Code of Ethics and the Office Bearer Code of Conduct.
Making a complaint
Anyone can lodge a complaint against a member of Engineers Australia. All complaints must:
- be in writing;
- clearly explain the circumstances that gave rise to the complaint;
- provide evidence to support the allegations;
- include all documentation relevant to the allegations;
- detail any prospective or ongoing tribunal or legal proceedings in relation to the matters raised; and
- include the complainant's full name and contact details (email is preferred).
Complaints should be addressed to:
Chief Executive Officer
Professional Conduct
Engineers Australia
11 National Circuit
Investigating a complaint
On receipt of your complaint Engineers Australia will establish whether adequate information has been provided to support the allegations made. Further particulars will be sought if the documentation lodged is not considered adequate.
Please note: in order for the matter to progress, we must provide the respondent with a copy of the complaint. If you wish the matter to remain confidential, the complaint cannot proceed.
Once the respondent is given a copy of the complaint, they will be given 28 days in which to provide a response.
If a complaint is considered vexatious, frivolous, misconceived or lacking in substance, the Chief Executive Officer may make a recommendation to the Professional Conduct Committee that the complaint be dismissed without any further investigation.
Professional Conduct Committee
Unless a matter has been dismissed in accordance with a recommendation by the Chief Executive Officer, the matter will proceed for determination by a Professional Conduct Committee (PCC). The Chair of the PCC will consider whether the matter needs to progress to a hearing or a decision can be made on the documents in existence. Depending on the complexity of the technical aspects of the complaint or where a site visit is required, an independent expert report may be required by the PCC.
Outcome of a complaint
Where a matter has progressed to the Professional Conduct Committee and a decision made, the written reasons for the decision will be provided to the complainant and the respondent. If the decision is to uphold the complaint and if sanctions are imposed, the respondent has a right to appeal the decision.
A complainant has no right of appeal to Engineers Australia.

Flowerhorn cichlids are ornamental aquarium fish noted for their vivid colors and the distinctively shaped heads for which they are named.
Their head protuberance, or kok, is formally termed a "nuchal hump." Like blood parrot cichlids, they are man-made hybrids that do not exist in the wild. First developed in Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan, they became very popular with Asian fish hobbyists.
They are also kept by hobbyists in the US and Europe, but their importation is banned in Australia. Some hobbyists have questioned the impact of flowerhorn breeding programs and their impact on the health of the animals, and on natural fish species.
Flowerhorn breeding dates from 1993. Malaysians admired fish with protruding heads, known as Kaloi or "warships," found in the western part of the nation

Here's how RW members rated this race (56 votes).
In short: Well organised - great marshalls - plenty of feed stations - excellent courseDate of review: May 17, 2010
In short: Cracking race - well worth the effortIn full: My first Ultra, and very enjoyable. Beautiful scenery, well organised and very friendly. Wasn't feeling 100%, and felt it, but its hard not to be impressed with the views. Will be back again.Date of review: May 17, 2010
In short: This is a quality race with a splendid atmosphere. In full: Twelve minutes faster than last year, first sunburn of the year, the food at the end was delicious and the guy who was adamant he'd run 6 miles further than the marshals told him he had provided the laughs. Brilliant!Date of review: May 17, 2010
In short: Perfect course - full of colourIn full: What a great day - I had done the 20 miler a few years ago, but tried the 33 miler this time (first ultra).Course is great - lots of variety, fantastic colours: running through the bluebell woods, the yellow of the oil seed rape, followed by green rolling hills. Course undulates but most of it was gentle and I found most of it quite runnable.Stations are well spaced, full of goodies and friendly marshalls.Route finding is quite easy so long as you read the instructions and don't daydream!The only downside for me was the sun - got a little sunburnt, still takes my mind off the tried legsWell done MRC - great event, will be back next year - need another mug for my collection Date of review: May 17, 2010
In short: my second time of running - a fabluous foray into beyond 26.2, glorious scenery, lovely marshalls, a real gemIn full: second year running for me (my first ultra last year). Despite being not on top form, reminded me why I came back for more. Weather kinder this year. Bluebells, wild garlic and views - glorious. Marshalls and checkpoints are great as are the fellow competitors - always people to chat to. Have I sold it to you yet?Date of review: May 16, 2010
In short: My second attempt at an ultra and my first completion of an ultra. Well organised, friendly and excellant value. Couldn't ask for more.In full: I was impressed by the organisation and marshalls. It was a real joy to get to a checkpoint with such friendly marshalls who had plenty of water, squash, jelly babies and biscuits and works of encouragement. The few signs that were up to help with the map reading were in good places although I would have swapped a few whilst on the top of Cherhill.I was very close to last and by then in any other race marshalls can waine - not these support till the end and it was gratefully appreciated. Cut of time reasonable and was so grateful that there was some food left at the end which is so very important to stragglers like me still on their feet after 8hrs 30.Date of review: May 16, 2010

Another iconic bike company has relocated to Santa Cruz. I got an email newsletter from Ibis Cycles in which they mention their move to Santa Cruz (from nearby Scotts Valley). Ibis is located in the old Wrigley building on Delaware Avenue. They are close to the trails.
Here is the tidbit that I saw on their newsletter.
We've Moved!
Eagle eyed readers who noticed we mentioned Santa Cruz as our home city in the first paragraph. That wasn't a typo, part of the reason that there isn't a ton of news to report right now is that we've been moving and that has been taking a lot of our energy. Our new top secret location (top secret unless you look at our contact page) is only a block from the beach and a few feet away from an amazing network of mountain bike trails. We couldn't be happier with our new location. Other bonuses include many good restaurants nearby, a couple of wineries and a brewery (the last two for after work only of course).
We would like to welcome our friends at Ibis to the city of Santa Cruz!

Artists: Carl Grace
Tucson, AZ
Boston, MA
What year did you start tattooing?
I began tattooing in 1998 under an apprenticeship. Afterward I went back to school to further my art and education, taking years out of the industry and finally rejoining the tattoo world steadily in 2008. So 11 years or so, but officially, I say three years professionally.
How did you get into tattooing?
I'd be lying if I said my first tattoo was done professionally and beautifully. Truth was, my first tattoo was a
hack job. Homemade tattoo gun and Higgins ink wasn't the way to learn. I've been drawing my entire life since I was old enough to remember. I think I came out of the womb with a pencil.After being asked 100 times by friends to try it, I did, and I sucked.
Where did you apprentice?
I apprenticed under Boston John at Skin Grafix in Arcadia, CA. The shop moved nine months after I started, and then I went away for a while, so that was that.
What conventions have you worked at? Have you won any awards?
Conventions are a dime a dozen these days. Some are virtually impossible to get in, some are a joke. Everyone
wants to throw a convention these days. You gotta just pick and choose the ones you're going to attend. I won my first award two years ago at the Tucson Tattoo Expo. Since then I've won my share.
How do you describe your style?
My style? I have a few. I love the statuesque style of tattooing. My black-and-gray is definitely a high-contrast technique. I like to fill the area; I don't like a lot of open, untouched skin, probably because that's the way I was taught to do color correctly. I love doing my beautiful, broken girls. Freehand demonic. I have a lot of styles, but they are all dark, with a lot of black.
What inspires you as an artist?
Everything. The most random shit will give me an idea and then I'll draw it up.
What sets you apart from other artists?
My work ethic. This is my life, and people recognize an artist who loves what he does from a tattooer who just wants to make money.
What other mediums do you work in?
Pencil, ink, charcoal. I definitely get my tattoo style from all the years doing charcoals.
What tattoo artists do you admire most?
There's too many to count. I know growing up it was the darker-style artists like Booth and Tyrrell. Nowadays there's so much amazing work out there.
What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing?
Before someone gets a tattoo what advice do you give them?
Don't move, don't hold your breath, don't complain, don't make faces. It hurts my feelings!
Is there a tattoo that you haven't done yet that you are dying to do?
What a blessing it is to say, no, there isn't. In fact, nine times out of 10 I'm working on a drawing that I don't want to tattoo so I can put it in my book I'm working on…and the next week it's on someone's arm. But tomorrow's a new day. I'll have a dozen new ideas for the world, right?

Pine Valley hears about FFA trip
SOUTH DAYTON – The FFA chapter at Pine Valley School has had quite the adventure to Oswegatchie Educational Center in the Adirondack Park.
Twenty-four FFA students went on the trip. Advisor Isaac Habermehl and FFA President Andrew Miller presented to the board of education about what the students did.
"We had a fun time," Miller said.
Miller, along with Student Board Member Stephanie Popielarz described the different activities the students in grades seven through 12 did. FFA donated $2,000 two years ago the low ropes course at the center so the students spent most of their time on this course. One of the obstacles the students had to work through was moving students from one island to another using two foot by eight foot boards. The students had to work together in order to ensure everyone passed from one island to the next. Each island was made out of pieces of wood on the ground. Each group of students completed seven to eight events in the low ropes course.
The board of education also approved to send a letter urging Congress and the Administration to amend the Budget Control Act. According to Superintendent Pete Morgante, the district could face cuts in Title 1, Title 2 and Title 6.
"It's hard to say how much we would lose," he said.
In other business, Terry Howard was appointed as superintendent of buildings and grounds. The board accepted Howard's resignation from the position of building maintenance mechanic. Michelle Pattison and Lindsie Bentham were appointed as substitute teachers.
