Like many of history's most enduring stories, this one took the most unlikely of turns. A virgin woman bears a child, promised by an angel and conceived by God. Born in a crowded town near Jerusalem, the infant has for His nursery a stable—His makeshift crib, a feeding trough. But shepherds worship the boy, and a powerful king fears Him. And when He has become a man, He does the miraculous, says the astounding, and claims to be God Himself—come to save man from his sins. And He did.
The Best of Christmas takes you on a fascinating journey through time to explore the Christmas story from a variety of perspectives—all based on the Bible, not myth. You'll learn not only the facts and figures behind the birth of Jesus but also why those truths are important and how they affect your life today.

When looking at cheap hotels in Pigeon Forge, TN, look for locations near this great park. However, the area also offers many other must-see attractions that shouldn't be missed.
A Thousand Ways to Have Fun
One of those other must-see locations is The Island in Pigeon Forge. Be sure to ride the giant wheel to get a view of what the park has to offer.

The interactive exhibits are great for introducing the wonders of science to children, as they offer cool information about light, sound, space, temperatures, natural disasters, and human strength. Kids could also strap on some sneakers and start rock-climbing, taking on a 50-foot-tall obstacle course, or pedaling on an Xtreme 360 Bike. A great option for the whole family is to actually take to the skies with the Wonders of Flight. Get breathtaking views while flying through the sky in a huge helium balloon. If you want to fly when the weather is poor, also note that you could fly indoors at Flyaway Indoor Skydiving. There are plenty of wondrous and magical experiences waiting for you at Pigeon Forge, TN. Hotels downtown may be close to The Tomb Egyptian Adventure, where explorers can act as archeologists who've been trapped by the magic of an ancient pharaoh and must work together to get out alive. MagiQuest provides another magical experience: Use your magic wand to unlock secrets, gain powers, and discover hidden treasures.
Great Live Entertainment
What's better than enjoying great southern food while being entertained in Pigeon Forge? Motels are often close to local, fun, and exciting dinner shows. A favorite destination, the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Show, tells the story of two legendary families and their long-standing feud while providing you with an excellent meal.

So we are in the press van, we just got off the plane. Hi, guys. ... And we are en route through the streets of Mexico City. It's a little bit of a bumpy ride, so hope you guys don't get motion sickness. And we are headed to the hotel, where the bulk of the press will sit down to file stories based on the briefing the Secretary did on the plane. And the TV crew that is traveling with us will go with the Secretary to her bilateral meetings with the Foreign Secretary and the President, because there are what we call camera sprays at the top of each of those meetings.
So, bienvenido (welcome) to Mexico City.

Give a second thought
The Upper Peninsula Sportsmen's Alliance, the voice of the U.P. hunters, fisherman, trappers and other outdoor people, find it very disturbing that our local newspapers are receiving letters to the editors from people as far as California, attempting to cloud the minds of our residents, our Michigan legislators and the Department of Natural Resources with information on wolves that is deceiving and inaccurate.
According to DNR experts in other states, Michigan has one of the best wolf management programs that currently exist in the United States. This plan had to be approved by the U.S .Fish and Wildlife Division before the wolves could be removed from the endangered species list.
The HSUS in 2010 raised close to $150 million in revenue. They are a tax free non-profit organization. They only spent one percent on animal shelters. Where did they spend the rest? They are limited as to how much they can spend on political lobbying.
We would give a second thought when it comes to making a donation to the HSUS. They were successful in stopping the Dove hunt in the Lower Peninsula. Now they are after the wolves. Soon it will be to stop all hunting and fishing in the state of Michigan.
The tradition of hunting, fishing and trapping has been a way of life passed down by our forefathers since the existence of the United States of America.
Do not let our heritage and rights be destroyed by the HSUS.
Tony Demboski
President, UPSA

However the 2005 Escape also has a defect where the PCM (Power Control Module) fries at around 100k miles. Ford extended the PCM warranty to 80,000 miles, but only after most owners were past the mileage limit. Now owners are on the hook for the average repair cost of over $2,000 (!!)

Deloitte "Football Money League" – vanity vs. sanity day
13 comments:
I know financial disclosure is even worse on the continent but it would be very interesting to see the comparative position of the other clubs in the top 20 - especially Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern along with the Italian clubs. Not sure if that's possible.
- 10 February 2011 at 10:57

It's a pity that no-one at Deloittes seems to have read David Copperfield or heard of Mr Micawber. I'm tempted to send them a copy.
They can certainly be accused of an abuse of language with the way they have redefined the word 'rich'.
- 10 February 2011 at 12:01
@Anders. You've given the vanity and sanity figures. How about the reality ones??
- 10 February 2011 at 12:26

Hi Anonymous @ 12.26,
Cash flow before financing for those clubs who have reported 2009/10 results.
Arsenal +£163.2m
United +£8.1m
Chelsea +£3.8m
Spurs -£33.0m
City -£255.5m
Some stark contrasts! Arsenal's huge inflow is due to the c. £145m of cash coming in from developing Highbury (which is mainly used to pay down debt).
Both Chelsea and Arsenal saw net cash inflows from transfer (£18.2m and £16m respectively).
City and "reality" are strangers of course...

Hi Anders, is there a way to look at non-english club finances like those of la liga or bayern?

Disclosure is poor in a lot of other leagues (we have English company law to thank for transparency in English football). I've looked at Real and Barca myself, but I'd recommend:
for stuff on other European clubs. He's the main man on that subject.
- 10 February 2011 at 15:45
@Anders. Big gulf in cash then so.
Looks like United had only 8m left after paying interest/bond issue costs totalling 58m and spending 44m on new players like Valencia, Hernandez and Bebe.
- 10 February 2011 at 16:07

Anonymous @ 16.07
Spot on. In fact United's cash generation will be weak for the next few years as the swap loss is paid and the Aon prepayment unwinds. "Free cashflow" after interest is not impressive.
Worth remembering the club has £150m in the bank though.
The fact is that none of "big clubs" generate much cash pre-transfers.
- 10 February 2011 at 16:10
Fine work Anders as usual.
I have a few questions about collective media rights:
Is the PL deal that determines how domestic tv rights are distributed separate from the deal that determines how international tv monies are split? Or are they one and the same?
Does the collective agreement also apply to other media? For instance mobile and internet rights are sold both domestically and internationally by the FAPL; but are they bundled into the same collective agreement?
- 10 February 2011 at 18:22
"EBITDA makes sense only if you think capital expenditures are funded by the tooth fairy." Warren Buffet.
The bottomline is simple, money in money out, if you spend more than you make, you do not belong in any rich list.
Cash is king, free cash flow is the principle determinant of value.
Free Cash Flow is the after tax and interest cash flow less any capital expenditures the company needs to make. Ignoring any of these (interest, taxes and capital expenditures) is pure and simple folly, at least where valuation is concerned.
Analysed the books of most of the so called big clubs in Eurpe. You will find many have millions on pounds in EBITDA cash flow. But these clubs are heavily leveraged with huge interest charges for a total negative net cash flow.
What you will also find with most of them is, their negative cash flow, they are still spending and wasting millions player purchases and salaries.
We all know what happened to Leeds and Portsmouth.

The international money is distributed differently from domestic with more going on parachute payments and "solidarity" payments to the Football League etc.
The collective deal applies to other media, inc radio, Internet etc. Clubs get to show their games on their own stations a certain number of days after they're played.
Anonymous @ 18.26
Spot on. EBITDA is a crap measure for football clubs because players depreciate and need replacing all the time.
- 10 February 2011 at 18:35
- Mike Dimmick said...
Anonymous @ 10/2 18.22: The division of money among the clubs is spelled out in the Premier League Handbook.
Rules C.34 onward - page 90 of the Rules section. Basically, half of the UK TV contracts, plus all of the international contracts, plus the money from Barclays as the title sponsor, makes up the Basic Award Fund. This is split up among the clubs: each PL club gets the same share, and parachute payments come out of this fund too (a lesser share than a PL club gets).
One quarter of the UK TV money makes up the Merit Award Fund: this is paid based on the club's performance. It's divided by 210 and the top club gets 20/210 (about 9.5%), the second club 19/210, 3rd 18/210, down to 18th 3/210, 19th 2/210 and 20th 1/210 (about 0.47%).
The final 1/4 of the UK TV money goes to the 'facility fees', paid to each club when they appear on TV - highlights now count, but I think the Sky Four will still tend to get more than clubs that aren't selected for live matches.
PL-wide sponsorship deals, other than the title sponsorship, and national radio contracts, are split equally, but don't go into the parachute payment pot. Local radio deals go to the club and aren't split.
The actual amounts aren't stated and I don't think anyone apart from the broadcasters and the PL actually knows how much comes from each source. Any figures you see in the press are guesstimates from the few press releases the PL issues when a contract is signed.
- 23 February 2011 at 18:17
Hi Andersred
Where did you get the numbers with the EBITDA and the pre-tax profit/loss from?
Best regards

In short: Good atmosphere as alwaysIn full: Its the key running event in Sheffield... brings the entire running community together, and introduces alot of others to the world of running which can only be a good thing - the whole city gets behind it and the atmosphere is great especially on Eccy Road. www.sheffield10k.com is also worth a look ( a shameless plug ) ... probably the best 10k course in Yorkshire? :-) ... Looking forward to next year.Date of review: May 14, 2013
In short: Decent raceIn full: The weather was spot on for racing..... talking to a few ppl at the end small point but worthy of noting for those PB chasers ...the course prob needs a remeasure. Came in at 10k + 120m bonus which doesn't sound like much - but equates to around 25 seconds at 40min pace! :-) ... obviously room to move start and still have natural finish at school - all in all a very friendly and well organised race.Date of review: December 17, 2012

In short: Great weather, conditions, atmosphere, something for everyoneDate of review: September 24, 2012
In short: £32 for a 10k must make this the most expensive in the UK! Pretty slick operation, and good course, just needed a little more atmosphere.In full: The atmosphere was a little muted due to the disjointed waves, and the very short finishing chute, bring the finishing chute into the middle of the race set up and already things would be improved. Overall good course, just price tag needs reigning in a touch. The goody bag was decent though!Date of review: June 9, 2012
In short: NIce day for it - miles 4-6 were pretty tough mentally - prefer races where there isn't quite as much tarmac pounding! Good overall though. THe hills on this course account for about 90 secs vs a completely flat course.Date of review: November 15, 2009

Jewish Response to Hagel Nomination Tepid to Furious
As expected, yesterday, January 6, U.S. President Barack Obama nominated former U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NB) for the position of Secretary of Defense.
The confirmation process ahead may be a bruising one, although many in the mainstream and "progressive" media are trying to paint the tepid announcements and refusals by centrist Jewish groups to officially oppose Hagel for the position as akin to a hecksher. But not so fast.
In a Twitter world occupied by liberal media-types, the same people repeatedly retweeted each other's statements with tepid comments about Hagel's acceptability to Jewish Democrats, in an effort to create the appearance of a groundswell.
In what amounted to news for some, Jewish organizations widely viewed as almost entirely peopled by Democrats issued statements harshly criticizing Hagel's positions and statements on Israel and on Jews, but refraining from directly confronting their party leader by officially opposing the Hagel nomination.
For example, the press release issued by the Anti-Defamation League was a study in pretzel-twisting. While recounting the many reasons why the ADL is unhappy about the nomination of Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense, the organization pulls back at the brink and does not officially oppose the nomination. Here's part of their release:
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, said:
Senator Hagel would not have been my first choice, but I respect the President's prerogative.
I trust that the confirmation process will provide an opportunity for Senator Hagel to address concerns about his positions, which seem so out of sync with President Obama's clear commitment on issues like Iran sanctions, isolating Hamas and Hezbollah and the president's strong support for a deepening of U.S. Israel strategic cooperation.
I particularly hope Senator Hagel will clarify and explain his comments about the "Jewish Lobby" that were hurtful to many in the Jewish Community.
The League previously expressed concerns with the Senator's record on Israel and Iran, and said of his record relating to Israel and the U.S.-Israel relationship that it was "at best disturbing and at worst, very troubling," citing his remarks about the Jewish lobby and his voting record on Israel and Iran.
It seems as though the best most pro-Israel leaders who are reluctant to cross President Obama on his "prerogative," were willing to do was to downplay the policy-making role of secretary of defense. The National Jewish Democratic Council, which had also publicly criticized Hagel's positions on Israel in the past, was willing to rely on their great faith in President Obama's support and concern for Israel to let the Hagel nomination pass without an objection. The NJDC statement:
"President Barack Obama's unprecedented pro-Israel credentials are unquestionable, and setting policy starts and stops with the president. While we have expressed concerns in the past, we trust that when confirmed, former Sen. Chuck Hagel will follow the president's lead of providing unrivaled support for Israel — on strategic cooperation, missile defense programs, and leading the world against Iran's nuclear program."
Israeli media sang from the same hymnal as Israel Channel 2's foreign news editor, Arad Nir, pointed out, "Obama is still the commander-in-chief." That was unlikely to be much comfort for those for whom President Obama's policies are a source of concern.
On the other side of the journalistic political spectrum, the Emergency Committee for Israel pulled off a coup worthy of the Merry Pranksters of the 1960's, but 21st Century style. ECI had obtained the domain name ChuckHagel.Com. If you click the link you are taken to a website which provides information about the former Senator on various issues of importance including Iran, Israel, Syria, public statements made by politicians, both Republican and Democratic. As the headline of the website clearly shows, ECI believes the information on the site shows that Hagel is "not a responsible option" for the position of Secretary of Defense.
When Obama, a Democrat, announced Hagel's nomination this morning, he said that his selection of a Republican "represents the bipartisan tradition that we need more of in Washington."
Republicans roared back.
"He has long severed his ties with the Republican Party," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, said Sunday. Graham called the selection "an in-your-face nomination by the president to all of us who are supportive of Israel." Sen. John Conryn (R-TX) has already said he will vote against Hagel's nomination, and predicted that many Republicans would join him in voting against Hagel. "Some of Sen. Hagel's positions would either render America weaker or create ambiguity in regard to our role in maintaining security and peace," said Conryn.Lori Lowenthal Marcus

The Senate should say no to this terrible choice.
Please contact your senator especially senators Gildebrand, Blumenthal, Mendendez and Lautenberg.
Here are some reasons you can ask them to vote no.
Hagel has no natural constituency, except perhaps for those who want a foreign and defense policy that is tougher on Israel and softer on Iran.
Israel would be clear that Obama views the Jewish state with hostility. Iran would be clear that it has nothing serious to fear from the Obama administration.
Nothing else can explain this odd nomination. Team Obama tried to couch it as a bipartisan act, inasmuch as Hagel was a Republican Senator. But key Republican Senators have made it clear that they don't want Hagel at the Pentagon. Key Democrats have also failed to express enthusiasm over that prospect. If there's a bipartisan consensus around Hagel, it's that Obama should nominate someone else.
If the President would like to abandon his election promises about stopping Iran's nuclear weapons program he should just say so.
Trying to change US Defense and Foreign Policy by just appointing Hagel will be understood that way in the Senate and will.
not be accepted.
Ten out of twenty-five members of the.
Senate Armed Services Committee, Democrats, Republicans and Independents,
have already expressed their concerns about him.
To me he is the stereotypical Archie Bunker type bigot. His policies have been anti gay (even now after his late and self serving apology he doesn't support equal benefits for gay military families.
there are many ways a Secretary of Defense could help gay military families no matter how DOMA is decided and Hagel has not come out in favor of any of these.
Reports to the contrary, LGBT equality is not yet a done deal in the military. There is still the matter of partner benefits. There still remain a handful of regulations that could be revised independent of the Defense of Marriage act that could bring some equity of compensation and benefits to gay and lesbian service members. but remain denied due only to Department of Defense foot-dragging:
Included in the discretionary benefits currently denied are spousal identication cards, and shopping at the PX, the former cited in the Pentagon's own Working Group study as not requiring DOMA repeal to deliver.
His remarks about the Jewish lobby having too much influence would cleary be seen as bigoted if you substitute any other.
minority group's lobby. Try NAACP or La Raza and see how long you would be considered.
He is anti-African American (with a 11/100 rating from NAACP and admires Strom Thurmond as a great role model. anti Woman (vs choice and contraception).
By contrast, he has a 100% rating from the NRA.
Hagel has drawn additional heat from insiders who claim he lacks the credentials needed to manage a department as large and essential as the Pentagon.
"Yes, Hagel has crazy positions on several key issues. Yes, Hagel has said things that are borderline anti-Semitism. Yes, Hagel wants to gut the Pentagon's budget. But above all, he's not a nice person and he's bad to his staff," said a senior Senate aide who has close ties to former Hagel staffers.
"Hagel was known for turning over staff every few weeks—within a year's time he could have an entirely new office because nobody wanted to work for him," said the source. "You have to wonder how a man who couldn't run a Senate office is going to be able to run an entire bureaucracy.".
Others familiar with Hagel's 12 year tenure in the Senate said he routinely intimidated staff and experienced frequent turnover.
"Chuck Hagel may have been collegial to his Senate colleagues but he was the Cornhusker wears Prada to his staff, some of whom describe their former boss as perhaps the most paranoid and abusive in the Senate, one who would rifle through staffers desks and berate them for imagined disloyalty," said Michael Rubin, a former Pentagon adviser on Iran and Iraq. "He might get away with that when it comes to staffers in their 20s, but that sort of personality is going to go over like a ton of bricks at the Pentagon.".
Multiple sources corroborated this view of Hagel.
"As a manager, he was angry, accusatory, petulant," said one source familiar with his work on Capitol Hill. "He couldn't keep his staff.".
"I remember him accusing one of his staffers of being 'f—ing stupid' to his face," recalled the source.
Sources expressed concern about such behavior should Hagel be nominated for the defense post. With competing military and civilian interests vying for supremacy, the department requires a skilled manager, sources said.
"The Pentagon requires strong civilian control," a senior aide to a former Secretary of Defense told the Free Beacon. "It's already swung back in favor of the military over the past five years. A new secretary of defense should push it back in its rightful place, but it's doubtful Hagel would be that guy.".
"It's not clear that [Hagel] has the standing, the managerial prowess, or the willingness to gore some oxen," said the source.
One senior Bush administration official warned that Hagel is ill informed about many critical foreign policy matters.
"He's not someone who's shown a lot of expertise on these issues," said the source, referencing a recent Washington Post editorial excoriating Hagel's record. "That [op-ed] was extraordinary.".
"Only in Washington," the official added, "can someone like [Hagel] be seen as a heavy weight. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.".
Hagel's reluctance to chastise Iran also remains a central concern.
As chief of the Pentagon it is expected he would avoid planning for a military intervention should Tehran refuse to end its clandestine nuclear enrichment program.
"The military brass is already reluctant to offer up any military options on Iran even though it's their job to have something on the books and to leave the options of the commander in chief open," said the aide. "Hagel will only reinforce these worrisome tendencies.".
"Chances are he'll view any legitimate effort to talk about military options with Iran as some plot by the 'Israel Lobby' to box him in," the source said.
There is no reason to believe his appointment would change Israeli policies.
But there is a very strong likelihood that it would be a fatal blow to the chances of a negotiated settlement with Iran.
Iran would have to conclude that it doesn't have to fear.
finishing it's nuclear weapons program or even continuing towards ICBM's pointing at America.
Democratic senators, several of whom have already voiced concern, also should vote no on someone who's views on many major issues are opposite of the President's.
and who's language is bigoted, and instead insist he appoint a better person like Michelle Flournoy.
Flournoy closely mirrors the previous stated policies of the President, the Democratic Party, and the American people.
Obama is losing his grip. Hagel's appointment will only stiffen Israel's back. America, say no to Hagel,

Rated 4 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tony A Burner This machine is a muscle burner. Quick changes of the handles and rods allows for speed reps and fast changes between exercises. The amount of exercises this machine can accommodate is more extensive then advertised. Very versatile and adjusts with little effort for everyone in my family. Saves space and is easy to move if needed. Could not be happier. March 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by notslow_joe Good Value This machine does all the exercises you really need to maintain and improve overall body tone. With some imagination and research, you can add several exercises not included in the manual. The machine can actually be expanded to 410# of Bowflex resistance with the additional add-ons found online. I also added a padded squat bar which really intensifies squatting and toe raises. It also give you a great core workout with the addition of an abdominal crunch harness. Very easy to go from one exercise to another. You just need to develop a routine and stick with it. SPECIAL NOTE: this is not a maintenance free machine. You must store the bars upright and straight between uses. There's a velcro strap that comes with it, but I advise you purchase the Power Rod companion available on eBay. You also need to check the cables, pulleys and bolts periodically. Remember, this is a machine with moving mechanical parts and will wear. June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Sally Great Product Easy to assemble, great work out and worth the money. November 10, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5�by Mr Smith waste of money These machines are trash and a huge waste of money! We had the life time warranty on the rods and have used it a ton becouse the rods wear out to quick my last set i put on about 9 months ago. We have had the machine for 8 years and it is frustrating dealing with bad rods and the new ones are the same i always check them in the store. Check yourself grab a barbell and walk up to a bowflex of your choice and see for yourself. Dont waste the money there are better options for saving space. And you should be using it enough to not need to put it up anyways LOL. October 21, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5�by Denis Best Bowflex for a recession I used to work out all the time, but then found myself without time to work out... So after about a year of sitting on my butt I have decided to get back into shape. I Bought this Bowflex for three reasons, Space saving design, quick change system and the ability to do squats. The Pros are simple Brand name Bowflex with their warranty, the quick change system works great and helps to keep heart rate up and work outs take less time, independent arm movement helps to train stabilizer muscles and prevent one side from being too dominate when lifting. Actual squats with a home gym, because their is no replacement for squats. A large variety of exercises 65+, resistance training is also less likely to cause injury, joint pain and safer to work out alone VS free weights The cons it's a Bowflex which means progressive resistance it is only 210 # when the bow is new, and has reached its maximum pull back This model is only upgradable to 310 others go up to 410. It has a large foot print for a "space saving design" other bowflex gyms fold up and take up less room when not in use. For those less mechanically inclined it can be a bit difficult to set up, as parts are not marked. The gym is solid, however, the lat bar is not as stable as the rest of the machine. This is the second Bowflex I have owned this model is far superior than the baseline model I have owned previously. I would recommend getting the upgrade to 310 at the time of purchase. If you have difficulty setting up the TV stand from the store spend the extra money on home set up and delivery. This is the best bowflex for those on a budget. I have truly enjoyed using it.

NYPA Approves Continued
Allocations of Hydropower for Two Companies in Western New York
Michael Saltzman
Printer-friendly version
March 30, 2004
ALBANY—New York Power Authority (NYPA) Trustees
Tuesday approved contract extensions for low-cost hydropower to help
solidify the future of two major Western New York employers, Norampac
Industries in Niagara Falls and Motorola Inc. in Elma.
"The continued allocations of low-cost power to
Norampac and Motorola from our Niagara Power Project signal New York
State's determination under Governor George E. Pataki to work closely
with Western New York businesses to help lower their costs and improve
their competitiveness," said Louis P. Ciminelli, NYPA chairman. "This is
an effort the Power Authority makes significant contributions toward
every day, with more than 43,000 jobs in the region linked to our
hydropower allocations, and another 17,000 jobs from other sources of
economical electricity."
The allocations for Norampac and Motorola are drawn
from a block of 250,000 kilowatts (kw) of Niagara electricity known as
expansion power, reserved for businesses within 30 miles of the Niagara
project switchyard. (Western New York businesses also benefit from a
second block of Niagara power called replacement power, amounting to
445,000 kw.)
The expansion power contract extensions acted on
Tuesday assure Norampac 1,600 (kw) and Motorola 3,600 kw through August
2009. The allocations for the full term of the contracts will depend on
federal relicensing of the Niagara Project beyond August 2007, when the
current operating license expires.
Norampac, which also operates a manufacturing
facility in Buffalo, in addition to the one in Niagara Falls, recycles
corrugated materials for packaging boxes for consumer products
industries. The company, which is headquartered in Montreal, has been in
Western New York for more than 16 years.
Motorola's Elma facility, in Erie County,
manufactures sophisticated automotive sensors and electronic controls
that help make vehicles smarter, safer, and more efficient. The plant
ranks among the "Best in Class" not only across Motorola, but the entire
automotive electronics industry. Next year, the company will celebrate
its 50th anniversary in Western New York.
The 2,400,000-kw Niagara Project, in Lewiston, is
the single largest source of electricity in New York State. It provides
some of the lowest-cost electricity, along with a second large
hydroelectric project operated by NYPA, the St. Lawrence-Franklin D.
Roosevelt Project in Massena.

The venerable 12V electrical system is slowly being supplanted by higher-voltage architectures, especially in hybrids and electric cars. Some of those new systems operate at voltages as high as 450V and 600V, enabling the vehicles to run starter-generators, while minimizing the windings in the electric motors that drive the wheels.
This, in a way, nicrely sums up why we need better power devices that meet the higher-voltage higher current requirements.

Mobile Internet devices (MIDs) have been around for years, but have not become any popular. In a yet another attempt to make MIDs competitive, LG Electronics and Intel Corp. today announced a collaboration around mobile MIDs based on Intel's next-generation MID hardware platform, codenamed Moorestown, and Linux-based Moblin v2.0 software platform.
Moorestown is the codename for Intel's second-generation MID platform, which consists of a system-on-chip (codenamed "Lincroft") that integrates a 45nm Intel Atom processor core, graphics, video and memory controller. The platform also includes an input/output (I/O) hub, codenamed Langwell, that includes a range of I/O blocks and supports wireless solutions.
Intel's Moorestown-based MIDs are expected to reduce idle power consumption by a factor of greater than 10 versus today's Intel Atom processor-based MIDs. Additionally, the Moorestown platform will be accompanied by a newer Moblin software version, Moblin v2.0, that is based on the Linux operating system. This software is designed specifically to deliver a great PC-like Internet experience while also supporting cell phone voice capabilities.
The "Moorestown" platform is expected to come to market by 2010. The LG device is expected to be one of the first Moorestown designs to market.
In order to offer a variety of network connections and Internet access, LG is also working with Ericsson to bring 3G network capability to its planned MID. This is an extension of the existing collaboration between the companies. LG has been supplying notebooks and netbooks with mobile broadband modules from Ericsson since the third quarter of 2008.
"The MID segment will drive growth at LG Electronics. We chose Intel's next-generation Moorestown platform and Moblin-based OS to pursue this segment because of the high performance and Internet compatibility this brings to our service provider customers. The collaboration with Intel on the MID platform has been valuable and further extends our longstanding relationship. Our efforts are well on track and we look forward to bringing the MID to market," said Jung Jun Lee, executive vice president of LG Electronics and head of its mobile communications business division.

Tuesday Tip
Our Tuesday Tip comes from our very own Melissa Oliveira. She is sharing this cute pumpkin layout. Take a few minutes and look at the amazing details….the subtle sanding, the embossed paper piecing, the photo mounted with the Vintage cardstock, the scored leaves and the fun paper curls!
ALL this and NO patterned paper. Just gorgeous.
Core'dinations used: Cosmo Cricket and Jillibean Soup Core Impressions, Core Essentials, Vintage Cardstock.
Melissa shared her tip for making the paper curls with us today. Just cut a strip of paper (scraps work really well for this) and curl it around a pencil like this:
Squeeze it fairly tight so it takes shape…
And Voila! You have fun curly piece of paper to add to your projects. AND the sky is the limit with these…you can sand them or even emboss them to add some added texture to your project.
Have a creative day!

Returning to the outdoors
I've always considered myself an outdoors person.
Born and raised in the U.P., I spent a lot of time in the woods at our family camp and was on my snowmobile as much as possible. As I got older (late high school years) my outdoors time diminished and it wasn't until I moved back to Gladstone and created a mental list of activities I wanted to do that I realized I wasn't very outdoorsy anymore.
My years spent in Grand Rapids while attending college had turned me into a bonafide city slicker. So when I came across a program from the DNR called Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW); I jumped at the opportunity to participate with hopes to get back in touch with my inner outdoors woman.
BOW is a program that allows women to explore various outdoor activities that they haven't had a chance to try or to learn new techniques and sharpen their skills in a non-threatening environment. Classes are taught by passionate and knowledgeable instructors during the three-day weekend event at Bay Cliff Health Camp in Big Bay.
The classes I chose were hiking, shotgun, archery and kayaking. I had prior experience with archery, but I don't have the equipment to be able to pick it up at my leisure, so I was eager to practice my shot again. Needless to say, my memory of the past paints a far better picture than reality. Nevertheless, once I "shook the rust off," I was pleased with my results; though my bear target probably didn't appreciate me paralyzing him with a few shots to the spin as I fine-tuned my aim.
My shotgun class was one I was eagerly anticipating because aside from a BB gun when I was young, I had never shot a gun before. I knew I wanted to try shooting after I watched the women's skeet shooting event in the Olympics last summer. It looked like so much fun. I will admit panic struck me a few days before I was scheduled to head off on my adventure as I started thinking about how the recoil would hurt and being responsible for this powerful weapon. But once I fired my first shot, the anxiety went away…sort of. While I don't think the Olympics is in my future, I'm still proud of my performance. Also, I can say with confidence, no clay targets were harmed in the making of this film. No really, I didn't hit a single one, though my ego says give me some more practice and I'll show those clays who's boss.
My last class of the weekend was kayaking. This was the piece de resistance for me and my main reason for going to BOW. I've always enjoyed being on the water and I wanted to try kayaking, but I was scared to fail. This was my chance to learn from qualified instructors in a structured environment and not care if I ended up paddling in a circle or fell in the water.
One of the best aspects of this whole experience was how everybody was so easy going and encouraging to one another. There wasn't any judging or negativity as we were all there to learn and have a good time. As it turns out, I'm a pretty good kayaker and I had a blast. I wish I had more time on the water, but that just means I'm hungry for my next expedition.
As I walked the quarter mile path to my car I tried to soak in as much of the atmosphere as possible. Not only had I become an outdoors woman, I met some fabulous ladies along the way. The dread of spending three days with approximately 100 ladies in tight quarters turned into sadness as I would miss my new friends. I'm so glad I participated in Becoming an Outdoors Woman and I would recommend the program to any woman (18 or older) who is even remotely considering attending. You won't regret it.

Apologies if this has been covered before, but I can't seem to be able to use the search function to search numbers like 12 or m80 etc.
I've just put an M80 into my old 12 string and am after some advice to get it sounding as good as possible. Had an Anthem that boomed and playing around with the lyric position because it is very boxy, and got the M80 out of frustration and needing to be able to amplify my main guitar. Probably should have come here long ago.
The M80 sounds much better than the other 2 through the PA I have used for testing so far.
To get it sounding as good as possible I am looking for advice on:
Strings. I'm told that 12 strings are difficult with Mag pickups as they tend to pick up the unwound string very strongly in the pairs, especially the D and G, but presumably always the lesser wound of the other pairs also. Baggs dealer suggested that the M80 is designed to be used with bronze/ phosphur/bronze strings, but I am wondering if I am still best to use white bronze or even nickel strings for the magnetic properties of the windings. At present I've recently moved to lighter strings for fingerpicking and am using Thomastic Plektrum 10-41s which include silk and mostly flatwound strings. They reduced the boom in the Anthem. Only white bronze strings I know of are GHS and are 11-48 which should not be an issue and may help with reducing my pushing of the strings into the pole pieces. Does anyone have any recommendations? Previously I used 12-54s at standard tuning, but am moving to exclusively using my fingers to play and the old guitar will last a lot longer with the lighter strings.
Pole position height. At present I have wound the poles almost all of the way in, partly to stop me touching the strings to the pole when fingerpicking on the light strings, and partly to mellow out the sound which was quite sharp, probably owing to the increased pickup of the unwound strings. Does anyone have any recommendations for pole height with the paired strings of the 12?
If I can get the lyric sounding good I will drill a second jack hole so I can use both together and also blend. I'll make that into another post.

CANON CITY — Department of Corrections search teams are looking for a 65-year-old escaped inmate after he was unaccounted for during the 5 a.m. count today.
The escapee is Jerry Chase who is described as 6-feet tall, 180 pounds with a bald head and thinning blonde hair on the sides of his head. Chase walked away from the minimum-security Skyline prison which is located in the East Canon Prison Complex, said Alison Morgan, DOC spokeswoman.
Chase has been serving a four year sentence out of Grand County for harassment and stalking. He started the sentence in July 2009 and was to be parole eligible in October.
"We have activated the Special Operations Response Team and escape team and are working closely with local law enforcement. The public is asked to avoid contact with the escapee and to notify local law enforcement of any contact or sightings," Morgan said.

A Shot in the Dark - Page 3
Later that afternoon, my surgeon tells me that the bullet passed two to four millimeters from my femoral artery and missed my femur by six to eight millimeters. The bullet took out chunks of all four quadriceps muscles; the surgeons had to cut even more away.
The wound dressers arrive and remove gauze the thickness of a motel-room bible. Fear is a stone in my stomach. The entry wound is a clean hole about the size of a half-dollar. The exit wound is the diameter of a large coffee cup and half as deep. A white maggoty-looking thing curls at the bottom of the wound, cradled in bleeding flesh. I flex my thigh and the maggoty-looking thing tightens like a guitar string—it is a tendon. The wound dressers use a long Q-tip to jam wet gauze into the wounds then leave me with my thoughts and my morphine.
I cannot stand lying here. I click the morphine button once, twice, three times. I raise my bed, roll back the bedside table, and peek out of the small window in my door. The coast is clear of prying nurses. I lift my leg to the edge of the bed, slide my feet onto the cold tile floor and pray, to whatever gods will listen, that I can stand. I do stand—prayer answered—but then collapse back onto the bed contemplating the best way to break a running date when my excuse is that I was shot in the leg last night.
Monday. Washington Redskins safety Shawn Taylor dies of a gunshot wound to the thigh.
Tuesday. "Hmmm," the nurse cogitates as she studies the display that shows how much morphine I am self-dispensing.
"I'm a little concerned that you're not using your morphine. I'd expect you to be using a lot more," she says.
"Oh, I'm using it. Recreationally," I deadpan.
"Maybe we should switch you to Oxycodone?" she wonders aloud. She leaves the room, and I blast morphine for the rest of the night—might as well get a little fun out of this deal.
The nurses and doctors are all about pain management. Several times a day they ask me about my pain. I am probably not the best guy to ask. I run trails for kicks, which means my tolerance for pain is high. Sure my leg hurts, it hurts like hell, but so did Pikes Peak and Alaska's Mount Marathon and dozens of other races and training runs I have done over the past 30 years. I tire of the questions and start telling the nurses that on a scale of one to 10 the pain is five, always five—seems like a good enough number to score some Oxycodone to stash and use after long runs in the future.
Thursday. Released. The nurses bring a wheelchair to my door for my ride out. They leave. With the help of a cane, I quietly limp to the wheelchair. I break the plastic bracelet around my wrist that reads "Trauma alert Ocean," which was the name they gave me while I was there. They try to keep gunshot victims anonymous for fear their shooters will try to find them in the hospital and finish the job. I throw the wristband onto the chair and, squaring my shoulders, limp to the elevators and out the door better off than when I arrived four days earlier.
On this first post-shooting run, it feels like a hot fork is being jabbed into the top of my patella, and golf balls are lodged in my abused thigh. My knee and Achilles tendons twinge as they compensate for their trashed teammates. My lungs burn. Every step hurts, like every single stride of the final 10 miles down Pike's Peak.
There was a time when I might have cursed the pain. I would have wished my body to be stronger and tougher. But not now. Today, running in razor-sharp spring sunshine, I repeat the words "thank you" with each agonizing stride, grateful that I still have a right leg that can hurt. One foot in front of the other.

Australian Incident Highlights UAV Dangers
ATSB investigates a Bell 412 rescue helicopter's close call with an unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has released its final report into a near miss involving a Bell 412 Westpac rescue helicopter and an unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), highlighting the dangers of UAVs operating above 400 feet without approval.
The incident occurred in late March at 2200 hours (10:00 pm) when the Westpac helicopter took off from John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, New South Wales, for a 2-nm flight to the Newcastle Westpac helipad with five crew members onboard. Released in late May, the final report states that heading to the northeast and climbing to 1,200 feet above ground level, the helicopter pilot saw a steady white light in the vicinity of Williamtown Airport, about 10 nm away. The light then crossed quickly from left to right and tracked southeast away from the helicopter. About 10 to 15 seconds later, the pilot saw the light make an abrupt right turn and track toward the helicopter. Due to the rate and radius of the turn, the pilot concluded it was a small UAV. On descent to the helipad, the UAV hovered in position just above the helicopter.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority says the UAV in this incident was most likely a first person view UAV, with a video fixed inside or outside the UAV allowing the operator to fly it remotely whilst looking through a pair of goggles or at a screen. CASA says these UAVs account for more than 90 percent of all complaints received about UAVs. CASA points out that UAVs are restricted to operations below 400 feet AGL unless the operator has been granted approval.

Predatory adults are rare on social media, compared to mean girls and crude boys, writes Emily Bazelon in How to Stop the Bullies in The Atlantic.
Facebook gets millions of complaints a week about cyberbullying, she finds. Employees are expected to decide in a few seconds which have merit.
Henry Lieberman, an MIT computer scientist, is working on a program to spot nasty posts immediately. In middle school, he was a "fat kid with the nickname Hank the Tank," he tells Bazelon.
. . . he and his graduate students built a "commonsense knowledge base" called BullySpace—essentially a repository of words and phrases that could be paired with an algorithm to comb through text and spot bullying situations. Yes, BullySpace can be used to recognize words like fat and slut (and all their text-speak misspellings), but also to determine when the use of common words varies from the norm in a way that suggests they're meant to wound.
In tests, BullySpace caught 80 percent of the insults flagged by human testers.
Lieberman also hopes to use "ladders of reflection" to persuade kids not to harass others.
Think about the kid who posted "Because he's a fag! ROTFL [rolling on the floor laughing]!!!" What if, when he pushed the button to submit, a box popped up saying "Waiting 60 seconds to post," next to another box that read "I don't want to post" and offered a big X to click on? Or what if the message read "That sounds harsh! Are you sure you want to send that?" Or what if it simply reminded the poster that his comment was about to go to thousands of people?
"Ash" and "Katherine," members of the hacker group, Anonymous, publicized the identities and vicious tweets of four high school boys who were harassing a 12-year-old girl with rape threats and suggestions she commit suicide. She'd followed one of the boys on Twitter, then angered him by un-following him.
At first the boys railed against Ash on Twitter, and one played down his involvement, denying that he had ever threatened to rape the girl. But after a while, two of the boys began sending remorseful messages. "For two solid days, every time we logged on, we had another apology from them," Ash said. . . . Katherine thought the boys hadn't understood what impact their tweets would have on the girl receiving them—they hadn't thought of her as a real person. "They were actually shocked," she said. . . . we started talking to them about anti-bullying initiatives they could bring to their schools."
"When i found out she was hurt by it i had felt horrible," one of the boys e-mailed Bazelon. Perhaps a few seconds of reflection would have helped.
Anti-bullying laws can conflict with free-speech rights, argues Eugene Volokh, a law professor. A proposed Minnesota law bans "interfering" with an individual's ability "to participate in a safe and supportive learning environment."
Say that students are talking over lunch about how a classmate committed a crime, cheated, said racist things, treated his girlfriend cruelly, or whatever else, which causes people to feel hostile towards the classmate. That interferes with his ability "to participate in a … supportive learning environment."
Bullying may include speech or conduct that "relates to the actual or perceived race, ethnicity, color, creed, religion, national origin, immigration status, sex, age, marital status, familial status, socioeconomic status, physical appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, academic status, disability, or status with regard to public assistance, age" of the individual or his/her associates.

Baby Kale Salad with Peach Tea and Sesame Dressing
This lovely salad is as delicious as it is good for you. The peach tea dressing is just fruity enough to stand up to the kale without overwhelming it. And we love this dressing that delivers such great flavor with so little oil!

Well, I had been lucky ALL of baseball season to avoid any bad rainy games. Even football season so far has been dry and warm. After covering the introduction and press conference of the new Red Sox manager, last night's United States women's soccer match in Connecticut against Germany made up for it when it started sprinkling during introductions and by the end of the first half was raining so hard you could barely see the pitch. However, I came prepared for a hurricane and stayed mostly dry. I can't say the same for everyone though – especially the video guy in a suit with no rain jacket whatsoever. In the end, the US women ended the match in a 2-2 draw, with both of their games against Germany ending in a tie.
Here are the images of the other people who had no choice but to get soaked:

I'm in the process of trying different teas. I found I like the Black teas. The Greens and whites just aren't strong enough for me. I like my tea with a strong tea flavor without the earthy tastes of some teas.
I do use the Green and White teas if I'm going to flavor them with maybe Raspberry.
Your suggestions are welcome.

Discontinued - Call for Alternative
Finally released to the public, the Secret Service grade Invisible Headset is the ultimate communications tool for extreme covert operations communications. This is the smallest device of its kind. The micro-sized earbud is smaller than a hearing aid which fits snugly and securely in the ear canal. A small invisible thread allows safe removal after use. The wireless transmission is completely silent and automatically picked up by the micro-earbud, via Bluetooth, from the transmission necklace. The invisible headset is the world's smallest communication device that doesn't require taking an impression of the ear canal. Battery life depends on volume and consistency of use; but standard use of this device can yield 24 hours of battery life.
How it Works
All you need is a cell phone and another party to carry a conversation, or just listen to the audio from the earbud, which can be wirelessly attached to a cell phone or any device with an audio output jack. Right before an event, put the micro spy earpiece in your ear and wear the transmitter coil necklace around your neck, under your clothes within a few feet of the micro earbud.
Make a call from your cell phone with a friend or associate on the other end of the phone to provide you with whatever information you need. You will be able to instantly provide dates, names, numbers, instructions, stock quotes or any relevant information from your assistant. You will be a human encyclopedia, without anyone ever knowing how you do it.

Gene, are you asking how much water you can pour into the bowl before it spills over the sides? If so, I can check tonight.
My standard batch in my Bosch Compact is 1000g flour at 58-62% hydration. Works fine.
So how is this unit for smaller batches? Thanks, Marty

Anyone ever tried this flour for pizza? A friend just gave me some. It is suppose to be hard to find and from Italy. See the link.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0038ZS6PU/?tag=pmak-20
I am guessing that the Antimo Caputo Italian Superfine "00" Farina Flour is made for high heat wood burning ovens?
Thank you for the responses. As I searched Amazon, I found this flour as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004R0LEZY/?tag=pmak-20Do you think there is really a difference between the Antimo Caputo Italian Superfine "00" Farina Flour and the Caputo " Rinforzato " Hi Gluten Tipo "00" Pizza Flour??? Thanks again.
Please check out the discussion here: http://brickovenbaker.com/2011/04/faq-whats-the-difference-between-the-caputo-flours/
DM;To get the char on your dough think along the lines of increasing the dough absorption to higher levels, and also probably increasing your baking temperature to something at 600F or higher preferably. Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor

Thursday, 24. May 2012
Monday 14th May Mr. Yoh Nakashima, Manager of the development department of Meiken Lamwood Corp and our colleague Fernando Mena, met in Cortaccia to talk about a possible future collaboration between both companies.
The Japanese company, situated in the Maniwa city, is the biggest producer of glulam in Japan, 250.000 m3 per year, almost the same amount produced in the whole of Italy. With more than 200 employees, Meiken Lamwood Corp produces glulam beams and panels made of sugi, typical Japanese wood, and wood imported from Europe used in wood structure and houses. The beams are typically 15 m in length and can be between 250 and 390 mm thickness.
Japan traditional architecture is famous for the use of wood in construction. Master builders use this material and innovative joint techniques to construct robust wooden buildings that have remained intact for centuries despite strong and frequent earthquakes. Since the beginning of 2011, Meiken Lamwood Corp has been performing seismic tests with glulam panels and HBS screws to prove the resistance and flexibility of the rothoblaas products with a view to obtaining the required certifications. The results have been positive! HBS screws not only didn't break but distorted following the movement changes of the wooden beam.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (584 votes).
In short: Apart from the weather?In full: I think everyone ahead of me has said all I need to say already - weather - wow, all seasons in a day, and the wind!! Like running through treacle. However, still managed a good time (not a PB). I had to que a bit for the goody bag as I think I hit it at the wrong time, but that was soon rectified by other marshals/ volunteers quickly coming to help, scenery is dull, although at the same time great to run on the race track, but overall a good race.Date of review: March 24, 2007
In short: Great race and course, massive PB potential if not windy! I've done this the last 3 years and enjoyed everyone.Date of review: March 24, 2007
In short: Enjoyable day outIn full: It was my first HM and I truly enjoyed it. The weather was awful but the whole thing was well-organized and the marshals did a great job :) The memory of completing my first HM kept me grinning all week.Date of review: March 24, 2007
In short: Extraordinary Weather, Great VibeIn full: I like this race, even with the terrible weather this year. I found this race to be much more friendly and better organised than the club-organised event I took part in earlier in the year. The general vibe was less elite and snobby than at club events for those of us who have no desire to join a club.The lack of mile markers/clocks did seem to make the pace bands useless, but presume some of them were missing due to the high winds.I managed to get the one faulty chip , but thanks to the organisers that has been rectified and I have an accurate time within 7 days of the race finishing.I managed to get another PB despite the weather and feel I can now run in anything as this was the most extreme weather conditions I have ever raced in.No problems with parking in the morning as we got there early, can't really complain about getting out, it is as bad getting out of the NEC after a gig. It is a common problem where you have a large gathering of people all wanting to leave at the same time.I will be back next year for another pb and to see what Silverstone can fling at me.And I'm another one who beat Nigel Mansell at Sivlerstone:)Date of review: March 24, 2007
In short: ideal venue for first imer like myself !In full: Was excited to be running at the Home of British Motor Racing, having last visited the circuit in 1987 when 'Our own Nige' took the chequered flag at The British Grand Prix. Race conditions were awful, but for me preferable to running in soaring temperatures in June/July. Organisation first class, and will definitely return next year. My only criticism is that there is no mention of dogs not being allowed within the circuit complex, I realise that this isn't something within the race organisers control but it might be helpful for next year to state that dogs aren't allowed ! Supporters of mine had to return their dog back to their car after she was refused entry. Date of review: March 23, 2007
In short: boring and sooooo cold!In full: Well-organised and was expecting it to be a lot more exciting than it was. Not much in the way of spectator encouragement though well done to the marshals in that weather.Not much chat amongst the runners - wish I'd brought my iPod to listen to!Main problem was getting thorougly chilled and took so long to get home to a hot bath I am now suffering from a bad cold and my training for the real thing is being curtailed...I won't be doing this one again!Date of review: March 23, 2007
In short: It's always windy there but flat track makes it a fast race but snow combining with the wind did slow it down this year.In full: Well organised event and flat fast course to enjoy. Scenery absolutely nothing to write home about as you are not really aware where you are on the track apart from start/finish. Weather made it rather unpleasant at times but still a very worthwhile event and excellent warm up for the Big One on the 22nd.Date of review: March 23, 2007
In short: And here is the latest weather forecastIn full: Well, what a race. I thought it had taken me a year to run this half marathon with the hail, sleet, snow and a little sun. For my first half I did enjoy this race. Well done to all that organised it and to get cramp in both legs 100m before the finish just when they were just about to take my photo's isn't funny. I will be back next year.Date of review: March 23, 2007
In short: weather!In full: 2nd time I've done this race and it was still good - I managed to knock 11 minutes off my time from last year so I was very pleased. The weather was interesting though - sun, gales, hale - 3 seasons in one day. And as a motorsport fan, I really appreciate the opportunity to run round the Silverstone track. Date of review: March 23, 2007
In short: Lose the wind and sleet woudl have been a perfect dayDate of review: March 23, 2007
