When recreational marijuana was legalized in Colorado in January of 2014, it promised to be a boom for those who were ready with their brick and mortar stores and new licenses. Growing as rapidly as weed are ancillary businesses that cater to these new marijuana pioneers.
Vincent Carroll has written a piece for the Denver Post entitled, "Like it or not, CSO must abide by Amendment 64." In it, he scolds the Colorado Symphony Orchestra for its original plan to create a series of fundraising concerts where patrons could bring and consume their own marijuana.
KSDK News reports that a private club is set to open in the mountain town of Nederland, in Colorado. All thanks to Amendment 64, which legally allows people to smoke pot.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo thinks he can ride his support for pot legalization into the governor's office. That's what he said T...
Just last week, an approximate 136 retailers received their licenses to sell recreational marijuana, but only an estimated 30 stores were open for business on January 1 throughout the state.
To all who have favored but not worked toward drug policy reform because "the government will never allow it," let this be a lesson. Yesterday's announcement, was a direct result of millions of Americans uniting and forcing the government to do the right thing.
Is Denver the best city in America to start a "Best City" list? Or raise a transgendered child? Or have second thoughts about legalized marijuana? Or select a new school mascot? We bring back the newsy bits this week to answer all of these questions and more.
Now that most of the world's problems are close to being resolved (except for the treaty regulating global trade in conventional arms) the United Nations can begin to focus on non-violent internal affairs in member nations such as the United States.
Oregon 2014 is not California 2010. We need far fewer signatures. Our ad buys cost far less. Most of our population and all our largest city will be within an hour's drive of legal marijuana in Washington for nearly two years.
Is Governor Hickenlooper really going to marginalize all pot-legalization advocates in one fell swoop as stereotypical slacker-stoners who spark up and then go stock up on munches at 7-11? Really, governor, after you made your fortune by selling booze?
In the wake of our victory in Colorado good people are understandably clamoring to pass similar measures in their states. So let's move forward in other states, but let's do so patiently and strategically.
As soon as legalization passed, some of the most vocal opponents of marijuana legalization -- people who smoke pot, usually under the protection of their state's medical use law -- jumped on the bandwagon as soon as money could be made.
Thinking about the broader state of the nation, the presidential election left me with a mixed range of emotions. But as one of many working to end the ongoing injustice of America's war on drugs, developments at the state level around the country gave me renewed hope.
In every corner of our state we weighed and debated the issue, broke down the economic and human costs of marijuana prohibition, and, in the end, decided that regulating adult possession of the weed was a very smart thing for us to do.
Colorado Attorney General John Suthers appeared on KLZ's Grassroots Radio Colorado Thursday to discuss his opposition to Amendment 64, which would legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana in Colorado.
As a middle and high school English teacher for six years, I'm very concerned about the push to legalize marijuana for recreational use in Colorado. I have witnessed first-hand how the effects of this drug have harmed my students.

UTSA Spotlight: Librarian Gary Woods likes working in the middle of the city with links to the music and art scene
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 29, 2008)--Students at the UTSA Downtown Campus come to Gary Woods for answers, but he doesn't give any. As an instructional services librarian at the Downtown Campus library, he has been teaching students how to find their own answers. Since 1997, he has taught students and classes how to ask the questions and conduct the research that leads to great papers.
"My work is about helping students," says Woods. "They bring in their research papers and end up talking their ideas through with you. We help them -- we aren't just going to let them go off in every direction."

- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

Over 10 years, things have gotten more interesting downtown, Woods says. With two colleges based at the Downtown Campus, his responsibilities have expanded, particularly as a bibliographer. For the College of Public Policy, he is responsible for acquiring materials on urban planning, public administration and nonprofit studies. For the College of Architecture, things are a little more challenging.
"Right now, I'm helping build the College of Architecture collection," Woods explains. "A lot of the big architecture schools have been around for 100 years. UTSA's architecture program is relatively new by comparison. It's interesting and fun to search for these rare books that date back to the 1920s. They're absolutely beautiful."
The need for support materials has grown over the years, along with the campus and the enrollment. Woods recalls that in the first month of operation, the Downtown Campus library was based in a classroom. Its second home was in the Frio Street Building where the computer lab currently is located. And now, the library occupies 19,000 square feet in the Buena Vista Street building. Woods sometimes calls it a living room or retreat -- a quiet public space at the heart of the campus in the center of the city.
Ten years of looking at the downtown skyline through the library windows and watching students learn and grow have helped Woods develop a personal outlook on the Downtown Campus. He believes the campus galleries and theaters help link it with the local music and arts scene as the host for various events. The campus establishes UTSA's presence in the urban center and it has a role in community outreach as a place where young students in middle and high school come for summer programs.
"It's a great place to work," he says, "and we're right here in the middle of the city."

Posted: December 1, 2010 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (December 1, 2010)—The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's leading authority on fitness and the largest nonprofit fitness certification, education and training organization in the world, today announced that it has collaborated with the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), an association that leads, connects and defines the active-aging industry, to offer professional development for staff members who provide fitness and wellness programs in senior living and community-based senior centers throughout the country. As an extension of the existing partnership between ACE and the ICAA formed in March 2009, the dedicated education tracks are designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of rehabilitation, nursing, recreation and fitness professionals who provide fitness and wellness programs to mature adults. The initiative was unveiled this week at the International Council on Active Aging Conference 2010.
"We are thrilled to see a growing interest in fitness and physical activity at older-adult facilities," said Scott Goudeseune, ACE president and CEO. "As a result of the growing awareness in understanding the critical nature of physical activity for this population, we are pleased to be able to enhance our partnership with the ICAA by co-creating specific professional development tracks to help advance the knowledge, skills and abilities of individuals working in these environments and provide safe and effective programming for the 50+ population."
In developing this important programming, ACE drew from its decades of knowledge and research in the fitness arena and leveraged data gathered by ACE and ICAA representatives after interviewing leading employers representing a cross-section of senior living communities and community-based senior centers. These efforts quantified their professional development needs, as well as the resources, necessary to enhance the delivery of fitness and wellness programs for residents and participants.
"By expanding our partnership with ACE through this co-branded curriculum, we are empowering older adults to improve their quality of life," said Colin Milner, executive director of the ICAA. "We know that this demographic is seeking safe, relevant and effective fitness-based programming, and it is our goal to offer the highest quality educational tools available to ensure that they receive it. Given that the individuals delivering training at these centers come from variety of backgrounds, these tracks strengthen their expertise while providing them with specific lessons and guidelines to follow."
The new education tracks are available from both organizations online at www.acefitness.org and www.icaa.cc beginning December 5th, 2010.

"Our commitment to Afghanistan is long term, and you cannot wait us out"
America's war on al-Qaida is taking a new direction, moving beyond declared combat zones like Afghanistan while countering the terrorist network's search for new sanctuaries, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday.
Panetta said the evolving campaign will feature the use of small U.S. strike forces; more partnering with foreign commandos; and more training and other forms of assistance that enable partner nations to combat terrorism on their own. …
"All this sends a very simple and very powerful message to al-Qaida, to the Taliban, and to the violent extremist groups who want to regain a safe haven in Afghanistan: We are not going anywhere; our commitment to Afghanistan is long term, and you cannot wait us out," Panetta said in a speech to the Center for a New American Security, a think tank.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Wow. Another great play by Profar

New York Red (06-28-2013)
Nice pitch. Cruz strikes out looking. 3-0 Rangers after 4.
Injuries happen. This team has no depth and treat AAA like an inconvenience.
Sitting around waiting for Heisey by having Lutz, who looks good and needs to play instead of at least a RH....so again we can wait for Heisey to do what?
He is the DH. That says a lot about how you handle games in AL parks and how prepared you are. Is Walt going to sit around like 2011 and not make moves to help a team that clearly needs it because of injuries?
Nice inning for Cingrani.
Reds shoud just give Cueto a full chance to heal and let Tony pitch,
They also should get a new offense. By the way.

Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.

Cingrani has settled down. Hopefully he can get through the 6th without giving up anymore runs. C'mon Reds! Let's get the bats going!

I'd highly doubt it.
First, they'd need an entirely new platform as it's too long for any of thier current platforms. That's some considerable design & engineering.
Secondly, for what small of a market it would have, Ruger would be sacrificing too large of an amount of it's other production models that remain popular sellers. They have a difficult time now keeping many of thier models sufficiently available. Adding an entirely new platform wouldn't make that any better.

A real life Ippo, minimum class Inoue Naoya a hard hitter made an amazing debut in Japan with a knockdown KO in the 4th round 2min 4sec. What was amazing was he knockdown his opponent, OPB 7th Christen Omayao from the Philippines with a short upper to his body. This was not a fluke since he also also downed Christen in the 1st round with a body blow as well.

Another question, a lot of Ippo I've been checking out lately is the "low quality releases", where they say to wait for a tankoban. Stuff from say vol 77 through the 80s etc, were higher quality versions of those volumes ever released?

I think what LeaD36 was mean to say is the physical length of the chapter. Weekly and bi-weekly manga in Shonen magazine are usually 18 pages long not counting color spread. But Hajime no Ippo is usually 15 pages with little dialog as well.
With that being said though, 18 pages per chapter was more of rule for Shueisha's manga magazine (Weekly Shonen Jump, Jump Square, Monthly Jump, etc)
Most of other company like Kodansha which this title falls on is usually 15-16 pages...
There is a reason why people refer Weekly Shonen Jump mangaka to be the toughest and hardest job in industry...

I was spared the torture of waiting weekly for this series. Reading in bundles a few weeks back, sure took the load off.
Part of say Mike should lose, so it will show Ippo that his chance's are good to compete as well!

When a woman is riding her partner who's about to blow his load, she gives him some good pounding strokes and when he's at the point of no return screams out 'Let's make a baby!'. Then she tries to see how long she can hold on, while he tries to throw her off. One night stands should only be considered for the more advanced rider.

If you're active on the interwebs, there's a huge chance you use Google Reader – Google's content aggregator to help you manage web feeds and stay on top of all things digital. But not all Google products last the test of time. We've seen several useful Google services fall to the wayside, like the infamous Google Wave, among others.
There's been rumblings of Google Reader being shut down, and while the feed aggregator seems like an integral function for a significant portion of web users out there, Reader may be nearing the end of the line. Of course, everything was a mere rumor until this past weekend, as reports emerge of user issues with Reader. Some users have reported old feeds popping up as new material, and unsubscribed feeds seemed to have returned from the grave.
A plea for Google+?
Some say it's Google's way of shifting focus to Google+. The search giant is pushing for news consumption via social media, the medium of choice for millions of web users. RSS has become a specialized technology reserved for the more savvy user base.
Google has yet to officially release a statement regarding the status of Google Reader, and checking the Google Reader blog doesn't help either. The last post written on the blog site was from October 31, 2011.
At least someone on the Google Reader forum acknowledged the issue.
"The Google Reader team has been notified and someone will be looking into this," said a Googler on the Google Reader forum.
If Google Reader is indeed on its deathbed, what could people use instead?
Six Alternatives to Google Reader
A personalized dashboard publishing platform for Web and digital life aggregation, organized into tabs that contain user-defined modules. It features built-in modules that include an RSS/Atom feed reader, local weather forecasts, a calendar supporting iCal, bookmarks, notes, to-do lists, multiple searches, support for POP3, IMAP4 email as well as several webmail providers such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, and AOL Mail, as well as web storage like Box.net. It also supports Delicious, Meebo, and Flickr. There's also a built-in audio player that supports podcasts.
A news aggregator or RSS feed reader for web browsers as well as mobile devices running on iOS and Android platforms. It aggregates news from different online sources which the user can customize and share with their peers. Users can customize content pulled by Feedly to include personal preference, as well as alter the interface by changing the layout, color, and categorization of articles based on sources, likes, and those referred to by other users.
Not only is Flipboard an RSS reader, but it's highly social as well. Flipboard is known for its aesthetic appeal, turning your social feeds into a digital magazine. But to further customize your content, you can add feeds from websites to be included in your daily reading experience. Available on iPad, Flipboard now has an Android version. Flipboard is primarily a mobile tool, and is leading the way for consumer-oriented RSS feed consumption through usability and design.
A personal news reader that brings people together to talk about anything under the sun. It is available for web browsers, and iOS and Android platform. It brings real-time RSS and allows users to view the article on the original site, share stories with friends, and highlight stories that you are interested in as well as hiding the ones that you can't be bothered with.
Probably the best RSS reader for the Windows platform that features a user-friendly interface, making content discovery quick. It features tagging so you can assign keywords to items with the goal of making things easier to classify and locate later. You can program FeedDemon to inform you when a tag appears in any feed you are subscribed to, as well as if it appears on feeds you aren't subscribed to. It can also automatically download audio files of feeds you are subscribed to and save it on your iPod or other media devices.
A free RSS news aggregation solution that provides robust features in an intuitive, user-friendly environment. It comes with the Feedreader Browser, which allows you to setup feeds you want to subscribe to. And then there's the Feedreader online feature that allows you to view subscribed feeds everywhere you go, using any device, without having to install or setup anything– just log in with your FeedReader account.

amber, I suppose the question is "when does a garnish become a food?" I wonder if it's serving size. Perhaps a teaspoon of salsa is a garnish but a tablespoon is an accompaniment. I'm probably thinking too hard about this.

They came to Minnesota many times to fish, then in 1965, moved to the area and purchased Clamshell Beach Resort on the Whitefish Chain. Fran was a "resorter" at heart and loved the business. After selling the resort, Fran continued in the resort business by managing her son's resort on Gull and then worked at the Pequot Lakes Chamber of Commerce. She was also an active member of Grace United Methodist Church.
Fran is survived by her husband, Bob; son, Bob Jr., and his wife, Marianne; granddaughter, Kristin Steffen; grandson, Brian Lorentzen; and great-grandchildren, Jacob Lorentzen, Rebekah Lorentzen, Maggie Lorentzen, Chase Steffen and Cameron Steffen.

The skin is the body's largest organ, covering the entire body. In addition to serving as a protective shield against heat, light, injury, and infection, the skin also:
Throughout the body, the skin's characteristics vary (i.e., thickness, color, texture). For instance, the head contains more hair follicles than anywhere else, while the soles of the feet contain none. In addition, the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands are much thicker.
The skin is made up of the following layers, with each layer performing specific functions:
The epidermis is the thin outer layer of the skin which consists of the following three parts:
The epidermis also contains melanocytes, which are cells that produce melanin (skin pigment.)
The dermis is the middle layer of the skin. The dermis contains the following:
The dermis is held together by a protein called collagen, made by fibroblasts. This layer also contains pain and touch receptors.
The subcutis is the deepest layer of skin. The subcutis, consisting of a network of collagen and fat cells, helps conserve the body's heat and protects the body from injury by acting as a "shock absorber."

I've encountered this erro message a few times. One of
the reasons this occurs is that the server can't verify and account with a
domain controller. This happens when a user has access to a server through group
membership. SQL doesn't know all the individuals in a group and so has to go off
and find out. If the service account doesn't have the correct permissions or you
have multiple domains then this can occur.
However the situation I had this week was that this was failing and none of
the above were true.
The reason was that "Agent XPs" were disabled. Agent XPs are the extended
stored procedures SQL Agent uses in its day to day job. The account
verification process is an extended stored proc. That meant that when SQL Agent
tried to verify a user it couldn't.
Annoyingly the error about "Agent XPs" didn't appear in the log for the job history but appeared in the SQL
Agent error log. Mainy people don't know there is such a thing. Well there is. Since
2005 its easier to find but many still don't look there. This is a completely
different log to that of the main SQL Server service.
I thought I could get around this by using a SQL account, but no luck. It
still uses the extended stored proc.
So if you are running SQL Agent then you need to enable the "Agent XPs"
using, the following. BOL states that this is done for you if you start SQL
Agent through management studio. That could be a new feature in SQL 2008.
Note: If you have advanced options turned on then you don't have to turn it
on again.
exec sp_configure 'advanced
exec sp_configure 'Agent xps', 0

Laura Harvey admits Arsenal need a break following a gruelling winter that has seen the Gunners competing both domestically and in Europe.
Sunday's FA Cup Final victory will be Arsenal's last game until July 24 with the inaugural Women's Super League taking a mid-season break for the World Cup in Germany.
Arsenal's Champions League exploits and a hectic WSL schedule means they have been without a proper rest since their European adventure began in September. Harvey's side have played a testing 14 games since March 13 and the manager feels they need time to recuperate.
"Maybe mentally more than physically, we need a bit of a breather," she said. "Starting in the Champions League last August and not having a break through until now has been tough.
"We will come back again after the World Cup and regroup, talk about the things we have been doing well and focus on the things we need to focus on a little bit more.
"We need to make sure we eradicate the sloppy mistakes we have made in the Super League. We feel the two games that we have dropped points in were down to our mistakes.
"That means that we can turn it around. We are pleased to have come through that. We need a break, to regroup."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

IBM: Automation a Bright Spot in Services, Says BMO; M&A Threatens Buybacks
BMO Capital Markets's Keith Bachman today reiterates a Market Perform rating on shares of International Business Machines (IBM), and a $220 price target, writing that the company's growth outlook is mixed, with a greater chance for software and services growth than for growth in hardware, and that acquisitions could slow buybacks.
IBM's services business is set to pick up the second half of the year, he thinks: "For services, we think revenue growth could be ~+2% y/y in CC in 2HCY13 versus -1% in 1HCY13 and roughly flat y/y in CY12."
Part of that is providing more "automation," Bachman thinks:
IBM is focusing on the next big trend of automation in the front office, which we believe is a big revenue opportunity for all services vendors. We think that such projects have a more direct bearing on revenue growth and improvement in customer experiences for clients, and hence, have much higher visibility within the organization. That said, we believe that the chief marketing officer and chief procurement officer are primary consumers of such services and that sales cycles are likely long. We believe that all large tech companies are focusing on this opportunity, though we think that IBM's services led approach supported by its software offerings enable IBM to have a head start in this market.
Within IBM's current financial plan, with targets running through 2015, writes Bachman, it seems likely IBM will focus increasingly on acquisitions to drive revenue growth:
We believe that IBM will probably step-up on acquisitions in the next few quarters, both to drive revenue and EPS growth. We expect IBM to remain disciplined in doing acquisitions by acquiring smaller private companies to avoid paying significant premium for public companies. IBM has so far spent close to $8 billion on acquisitions in the current plan versus its target of spending $20 billion on acquisitions. We believe that increased capital allocation on acquisitions may also impact the pace of stock buybacks.
That may lead to a slowing of buybacks, writes Bachman:
We believe that the stock buyback rate will slow down over the next few quarters given IBM has spent close to $30 billion on buybacks in the first nine quarters of the 2015 plan or roughly $3.3 billion/quarter. To achieve its target of $50 billion in buybacks in the plan, IBM will have to spend approximately $2 billion per quarter in buybacks over the next 11 quarters. Nonetheless, we think that IBM will continue to push other levers to achieve its EPS target of $20 for FY15.
IBM shares today are up $2.21, or 1%, at $204.41.

Full Disk Encryption - Is it time?
For easy to use, full drive encryption for the masses, look to the hard drive manufacturers. Here are a couple that exist now:
LaCie SAFE Mobile Hard Drive with DES/3DES Encryption
Seagate Momentus Laptop Drives with AES
I'm certain more are coming down the pipe as this makes it a no brainer to encrypt your data... I hope the VA is listening!
Anyone with any experience or thoughts on these? Do you think this will finally make data encryption hit a tipping point that will make it permeate all sectors of IT?

2004 Nissan Titan Prerunner - Titan Of DoomPosted in Features on February 20, 2007 Comment (0)
Do you remember when you were 23 years old? Or maybe it's that you aren't quite there yet. How many of you have had 10 well-built trucks in that time? Kyle Phillips' '04 Nissan Titan is the tenth truck in his string of modified vehicles. Kyle has been working hard as a Harley-Davidson technician for a number of years, and through hard work he has been able to afford to get himself involved in the money-pit hobby we all know as off-road vehicle modification.
During a recent trip to the desert, a buddy of Kyle's introduced him to Gary Farrell, owner of NCD Customs. Gary's red Nissan Titan graced the pages of Off-Road's April '06 issue when it showed us just how well it could perform in the dunes outside of Palm Springs, California. Gary was working with the guys at Boneyard Fabrication in Ventura, California, on a new cantilever suspension system that instantly piqued Kyle's curiosity and interest. Eventually, all three parties and their respective bodies of knowledge teamed up to craft one beautiful off-road machine.
The next time you're out in the desert, spend some time looking underneath the rear ends of some of the prerunners and see how many are running a cantilever suspension. You'll quickly learn the answer is not many. The reason why you don't see it very often is typically cost of fabrication. Boneyard Fabrication wanted to step up and create something different that would also produce great wheel travel and stability for truck owners who like to go fast in the dirt. Boneyard also did its best to keep the cost as low as possible for consumers. The rear suspension on Kyle's Titan was fabricated and installed by Boneyard; this included all welding and frame boxing for extra strength. Because the tension and load points of the rear end are dramatically changed for this type of suspension, additional strength concerns needed to be addressed. The rear shackles and hangers had to be relocated 3 inches rearward, and all frame sections needed to be completely boxed in to assure the frame would not be the failing point. NCD Customs fabricated a beautiful set of billet pivot boxes to really make the suspension look trick. Another advantage to running a system like this is the ability to gain wheel travel while still keeping the suspension under the bed of the truck, thus leaving the stock bed intact to carry a full load of equipment, dirt bikes, or whatever else.
The shocks chosen for the rear are King 2.5x12.5-inch double-bypass shocks with reservoirs and 2.5-inch King air bumps with 4-inch stroke. Together with a set of Deaver Spring leaf springs, they achieve a travel measurement of 18 inches. That's a ton of wheel travel for an under-the-bed suspension system. All the tube work was performed by Boneyard using 1.75-inch by 0.120-wall 4130 chrome-moly tubing.
8PhotosView Slideshow
Up front, the suspension includes NCD Customs' Titan long-travel kit. The kit uses 4-inch-wider-per-side, billet-aluminum upper A-arms that also relocate the wheels 1 inch forward for extra tire clearance at the firewall. King 2.5x10-inch coilovers are used, running 600-pound coil springs in conjunction with King 2.5-inch air bumps with 4-inch stroke. The suspension lifts the front of Kyle's truck 5 inches and is fully adjustable. We measured the travel for the front end at 16 inches. Combined with the rear, this truck had no problem roaming the Barstow desert for our photo shoot. We pushed the Nissan pretty hard and never felt out of control, and even through some of the tougher sections the suspension soaked up whoop after whoop with ease.
The tire-and-wheel combination Kyle chose includes Pro Comp Xtreme Alloy 17x9 wheels that have a backspacing measurement of 4.5 inches and a set of 31x12.5R17 BFGoodrich M-T tires. Glassworks Unlimited provided the front and rear fiberglass fenders which give enough clearance for Kyle's 37-inch meats. Mike's Auto Body laid a fresh coat of silver paint on the Glassworks panels to match the rest of the truck's body. Like the rest of the tube work, the front bumper was constructed of 1.75-inch 4130 chrome-moly tubing by Boneyard Fabrication and holds a set of Hella Rallye 4000 off-road lights. The front skidplate is made from 3/16-inch aluminum.
The remainder of this truck is basically stock, but it won't be for long. If you attended the last Off-Road Expo in Pomona, California, you may have seen his truck on display. In order to make the show, everyone who contributed to this project had to work day and night for seven days straight to get everything fabricated and installed in time. Hard work does pay off - this Titan is proof of that.

Elaine is a very nice lady. She welcomed us warmly. The dog is quiet-no need to be afraid. She tried to do a lot to keep us warm but all in all if it's cold outside for a longer time this location (bathroom) is maybe not the right place for people who freeze easily. It was possible to prepare small things in the kitchen and the terrace is huge and sunny. The room is a big enough but a place for dinner is missing (just in case the weather is bad). The apartment is centrally located what's really nice and enough parking space for free in the surrounding area. It's a bit noisy in the apartment if Elaine is watching a football game ;-)
All in all we really enjoyed our stay and were happy to have such a nice and open minded host
We are very please to meet Elaine. She 's very nice. We are very lovely in her home. We'll thank her for her kind hospitality.
The apartment of Elaine has got the right position restaurants and supermarkets are next to and there a lot of parking ares around.
The terrace is quit huge, it is really nice to have breakfast there.
Elaine and her dog are quit charming.
Elaine was very helpfull and booked a trip for us and answered our questions. We have our own room, but Eliane was going into it, so that was not so positive. She said the same things twice, without saying that it was a problem.
Elaine is a very sympathetic person and everything went well with her. She recommended to us different things to do or where to go eat. She let us use the washing machine to wash our clothes and Body the dog was very nice and easy and didn't bother us at all. The room had air-condition and it was clean and we also had our own bathroom. Thanks for your hospitality, Elaine! :)
Elaine is a very nice person. She is communicative and recommended us some trips and restaurants. She was a great help because we were for the first time on the island.
The flat is clean. We were given every other day fresh towels. We could have our breakfast on the terrace.
She has a cute dog and he doesn't bark.
It was a great time and we would come back :-)
It was a wonderful time with Elaine and Buddy. Normally I´m afraid of dogs, but Buddy is so friendly and calm. I became fond of him. The Apartment is nice with a large terrace and perfectly located. And last but not least Elaine is blandly and natural woman and it was very fine to spend time with her.
Hello guys, my friend and I had a really good time at Elaine's appartment! Everything was clean in the flat, the kitchen fully equipped with dishes and pans and Elaine a very friendly host - thanks to her for all! The flat is straight at the habour of Port Alcudia and to the beach its not far - only a few walking minutes - and ist a very nice beach for swimming!
Elaine's dog a Golden Retriever is friendly as well and likes to play and cuddling :-)
Cheers, Doreen and Sabine
The apartment is very spacious, located in a very quiet and calm area. The nice terrace with a beautiful view on green mountains and partly of the sea allowed us to enjoy our breakfasts. The location is perfect, close to both the beach during the day and restaurants during evenings and nights.
Elaine was very friendly and open to us. Buddy, her sweet golden retriever dog, never barked and was always welcoming us when coming home.
We hope that we can stay here again next time we will visit Alcudía.
Elaine ist eine supernette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, die ein Zimmer in Ihrer Wohnung vermietet. Das Bad gehört dazu, die Küche kann man bei Bedarf nutzen. Das schönste ist die Terrasse, auf die man direkt vom Zimmer aus kommt und wo man sehr nett frühstücken oder abends mal was trinken kann. Die Lage ist sehr gut mitten in einem touristischen Städtchen und man kann auch viele Ausflüge von dort starten (unser Favorit - Cap Formentor / Pollenca).

Hi Guys, What fun!!!!! I hope you were able to pick up the GPS from Albert. We were unable to get throught to them until after we dropped it off with Jim.
Had a lovely weekend with Danielle and Josh. She has her little house looking cute and cozy. Take care and have fun. We're thinking of you all, especially the mosquito baiter. Love You Cathy

We spent the rest of the afternoon travelling to Binscarth, a cutesy little campground with a free showers and wireless internet. Both were much needed. After planning a bike ride, we all suit up, only to find that the teenagers who run the campground "don't really, like, umm, remember" if the site had biking or hiking trails. When we got our fire wood, we struggled to light it, receiving for our pains smoke filled lungs and eyes. Unfortunately, the smoke didn't really do much to deter the mosquitoes. Cam has been our bait. We send him out first to attract all the bugs, than we walk out and enjoy relative comfort. Off to bed, hoping to get to Portage le Prarie tomorrow. -Mercedes

Looking for a luminous lens kit? Choose Tamron or Sigma!Thursday October 27 2011 Lens Review
New results are available on dxomark.com for the Tamron SP 17-50mm F/2.8 Di II XR VC LD Aspherical IF lens (Nikon and Canon mounts). This new review, along with our recent review of the Sigma 17-50mm, completes a set of measurements for trans-standard luminous lenses.
Tamron 17-55mm F/2.8 VC versus Sigma 17-55mm F2.8 OS
Speaking of the Sigma and Tamron 17-50mm lenses, here are some interesting comparisons:
- Sigma and Tamron 17-50mm for Nikon lenses comparison with Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G on a Nikon D7000
- Sigma and Tamron 17-50mm for Canon lenses comparison with the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 on a Canon EOS 7D
The results for both the Tamron and Sigma models are very similar, with the Sigma only very slightly better than the Tamron over the entire focal range. Of greater note is that both lenses are exceptionally good when compared to the Nikon 17-55mm and the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8, which are twice as expensive!
Even with slightly better results for the Sigma, the Tamron lens remains a serious contender.
At center, its resolution is good up to 35mm, and dips only a bit at 50mm, while still providing satisfactory results (50 lp.mm across the entire focal range). However, the Tamron's resolution drops a bit quicker than for the Sigma 17-50mm.
Tamron controls vignetting and chromatic aberrations very well— the latter particularly so, especially when compared to its competitors. At 17mm, however, there is more distortion for the Tamron lens than for either the Nikon or Sigma models.
Overall, the Tamron 17-50mm rates a score of 13 for image quality, which by itself would put it in a good position to compete in the wide-angle zoom category. However, in terms of other considerations, such as build quality, the Tamron feels a bit too plastic to compete on the high-end market where it's supposed to be. The focus and zoom rings operate smoothly, but the focus path short length makes it somewhat difficult to use. The non-rotating front element, however, will work nicely with polarizers.
In summary, if you are looking for a stabilized luminous lens kit at a lower cost, either the Tamron or the slightly-superior Sigma will work well — especially since both lenses deliver better image quality than the more expensive Canon or Nikon 17-55mm.

The 17-50mm lenses, equivalent to the classical 24-70mm for the full frame cameras, are at the heart of Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Tamron's catalogs. But, even if all vendors are eager to offer the best high-speed wide-angle zoom for APS-C cameras, apparently Sigma managed to beat them all.

Over the past year, I have greatly enjoyed traveling across our nation to meet you and discuss what NPGA is doing to support your businesses' growth during these challenging times. My wife Cheryl and I heard many positive things, and also a variety of suggestions on how we can improve the association. Throughout our travels, we were always warmly welcomed at every meeting we attended.
Remarkably, this year marks the centennial celebration of propane's discovery as a source of innovative energy solutions. What started as a fuel discovered for the first time on May 17, 1912 as a light source has grown into a major component of America's energy portfolio. Hundreds of millions of gallons of propane are used all around the U.S. in vehicles and appliances to heat homes, irrigate crops and utilized in many other applications. Despite facing what I call significant "headwinds", our industry is well-positioned to achieve even more success in the next 100 years.
I am very proud of NPGA's accomplishments during the past year. We maintained parity with natural gas by defeating an amendment sponsored by Sen. Menendez (D-NJ) that would have extended tax preferences only to natural gas vehicles. We fended off a serious attempt by Sen. DeMint (R-SC) to repeal the Propane Education and Research Act. And we initiated litigation against the U.S. Department of Energy in a major effort to preserve the propane-fueled decorative hearth products market.
More work remains to be done to ensure that our industry continues to prosper. I see the need to continue growing the industry into new markets. We also need to stay on top of developments affecting the delivery infrastructure so that marketers, both large and small, can take advantage of the shale gas revolution.
It is hard to believe that my term as Chairman is coming to an end. I would like to thank each of you for your support during my year of service, as your support has allowed NPGA to achieve many of our victories. I am confident that our incoming Chairman, Ray Murray, will successfully take our Association and the propane industry to the next level.

Having said that, lets start with the bad stuff, then move to the good.
graphics are pathetic. The cars are poorly defined, the backgrounds suck, and
these little white lines (which are obviously where the polygons should seamlessly
connect) have a tendency to pop up and dance all over the screen. CMR's cars
look like Lego cars. They all have jagged edges, blurred details, and when they
crash (no matter where or how bad) only the tail lights get messed up. Hit a
tree head on: tail-light goes out. Hit a house at 117 miles per hour: both tail-lights
go out.
The backgrounds look like something from the original Ninja Gaiden;
they are all glaringly pixelated, and can't positively be identified as containing
any specific image. The whole game is one pop-up after another, except in the
"evening" levels, which you can tell are evening levels, because everything
twenty feet in front of the car is enveloped in a fog that is strangely reminiscent
of the first Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. There
are places in the game where the player cannot distinguish the track from, well,
anything else, because everything is the same color. Such a lack of contrast
can really damage your time since you can only go about forty miles per hour
if you get off the track.
CMR's sound is pretty bad too. There are two types of sounds in the game, and
they are: 1) Driving noises- engine sounds, ripping metal, breaking glass, etc.
2) Co-driver noises- little navigational instructions, and, based on how well
you are driving, lame little comments like "That was good," or "Oh no," both
of which are Scottish for "I can't talk right now, I'm drinking." The co-driver's
voice happens to be none other than McRae's real-life co-driver Nicky Grist.
The co-driver is no help at all, and has a tendency to rub the nerves raw.
The directions the co-driver gives are always relative (so you never know how
soon a turn will be coming), and in many cases there are so many turns ahead
that by the time you actually come to one, Grist has been speaking of other
turns for three or four seconds. However, in some levels this little problem
is cleared up, as Grist only elects to tell the player about the big turns,
and leaves the smaller (though no less vital) turns out. Hopefully he's more
helpful to Colin in real life. Instead of Nicky Grist, CMR could use some music.
An up-beat, catchy drivin' tune could really facilitate the timing involved
in making some of the turns and calculations.
However, the tracks themselves are sweet. There are forty-eight tracks divided
up between eight countries (six per country, duh). Each country embodies at
least one, usually two, different types of driving. Indonesia, for example,
contains tracks made of dusty tarmac, sand, or mud, all of which require different
strategies to negotiate. Such diversity in the tracks themselves create an intense
rally experience, as the player has to adapt to driving on tarmac (goin' about
117 mph) to mud (only safe at about 70 mph).
standards these tracks set for the driver are demanding, and allow for no errors.
The slightest miscalculation on a turn can cause you to catch your bumper on
an embankment or a tree, which will either spin your car wildly, or completely
wipe you out. The longer the game progresses, the narrower the tracks become.
And, with the narrow tracks comes a plethura of horrible obstacles and hazards
like logs and ditches and cliffs (oh my).
The tracks are extremely long, and a race is only one lap, so there is really
no opportunity to adjust and adapt to obstacles, hazards, or tricky turns. You
just have to be good. The tracks demand a certain level of proficiency (essentially
mastery), which, once attained, will allow the player to handle anything the
track throws at them. And then, of course, once a player has mastered a certain
track or country, they must race an entirely different track, and master an
entirely new style of driving. Being constantly shut down after one has just
recently felt so masterful can be intensely frustrating, and sometimes makes
it difficult to start a new country. However, the dynamic countries and tracks
keep the gameplay fresh all the way through the game, and the interest high
until the end of the last race.
What makes the tracks so difficult to master, and what must be understood
before a track can be beaten is the style of control particular to the given
track. There are essentially 6 driving styles in the game (which correspond
to the different types of track conditions i.e. snow, gravel, mud), all of which
depend largely upon when you brake, and how early you turn. So, in order to
deal with different track conditions you have to adapt your play style, which
takes time and can be very frustrating. But again, such variance gives the game
extra depth, and keeps the game difficult and rewarding until the final finish
Colin McRae Rally rocks. In ye olde words above there be much criticism,
but keep ye in mind, that CMR's flaws are like toilet paper on the shoe of the
sexiest high-school vixen. On a trashy, repugnant woman, such a display of sloppiness
would hardly stand out. But, in a game like CMR, toilet paper has absolutely
no place. Wait, no. Dammit. That's not quite what I meant. At any rate, CMR
is an awesome racer that is tarnished by some sloppy design flaws. While CMR's
flaws are irritating and seem horribly out of place, it is nevertheless an oddly
great game.

Started out with A Hunter beach cruiser I bought on CL for $3.50 and a junker Roadmaster that also came from CL. made a little jig and cut them apart And now its one piece again. Quick mock up, now time to clean the welds sand blast the frame and make it move under peddle power!!! Thanks for looking.

Town Square
A tandem gasoline tank truck was seen going West on Charleston Rd a couple of weeks ago.
Original post made by Anonymous, Another Palo Alto neighborhood, on May 3, 2007
A car running a red light at Middlefield and Charleston could crash into a tank truck traveling across town on Charleston Rd.. This could happen at Alma also.
There are obviously for many reasons for a crash/fire.
The police don't do traffic, truck policing, enforcement on Charleston. They don't have time.
a resident of Charleston Gardens
on May 4, 2007 at 3:31 am
Trucks are not supposed to use Charleston, they should use San Antonio. However, truck drivers complain bitterly that the roadbed on San Antonio is too bumpy and uneven for 18 wheelers, and the overhanging pine trees hit their trucks. So, truckers use Charleston.
Palo Alto's Transportation Department is working on plans for San Antonio which include removing all the pine trees and installing bicycle lanes. I hope they get going on this probject soon. With so many new condos being built in the area, traffic will only increase.
Truck traffic on Charleston has increased since the signs were put up which discourage them from using Oregon Expressway.
a resident of Midtown
on May 6, 2007 at 4:28 am
A great many hazardous materials are carried on streets and rails through the community, necessarily so. We do the best we can, and usually the best is good enough. With all the truckloads of gasoline it takes to keep the area running, it is a tribute that we have so few such accidents. It is better to facilitate such movement rather than to further restrict it.
a resident of Meadow Park
on May 7, 2007 at 12:49 pm
I didn't know that signs had been put up discouraging trucks to use Oregon Expressway. This explains the additional trucks on East Charleston Road. Because East Charleston/Arastradero is a school commute corridor, shouldn't these Oregon signs be taken down until San Antonio Road improvement plans have been developed and implemented - ready to be used by trucks?
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on May 7, 2007 at 8:46 pm
The response by Wallis is troubling. It's illegal to use E Charleston as a truck route and the road is posted "No Trucks ---". This "who cares attitude" is so wrong. I have heard that Oregon Expressway is a no truck route also and it is enforced, even for noise.
a resident of Midtown
on May 8, 2007 at 3:40 am
Mouse, you read something in my note that is not there. I believe we need to accomodate the need for trucks without banning them from more roads, the usual knee-jerk reaction to trucks.
a resident of Charleston Gardens
on May 8, 2007 at 9:24 am
For the law, in response to your suggestion that the signs discouraging truckers from using Oregon Expressway should be remove.
The signs were put there in response to a well organized group of Midtown residents who lobied hard to get them installed. If you want to get the signs removed you will have to take on the residents of Midtown.
San Antonio does have a sign designating it a truck route while East Charleston has a sign saying no trucks over 7 tons. There is no sign on San Antonio to tell truckers not to use East Charleston, and if trucks are over 7 tons it is too late to put that sign on East Charleston when they've already turned off San Antonio.
a resident of Meadow Park
on May 8, 2007 at 3:42 pm
I see a flaw in the process relating to signs posted for trucks entering Palo Alto. When a well-organized group of residents propose a change of signage on a street, someone in a central office should study the impact on other streets before making the change. Why didn't the city post a sign on San Antonio to tell truckers not to use East Charleston at the same time the Oregon Avenue signage was changed?
a resident of Charleston Gardens
on May 8, 2007 at 6:12 pm
Signs were not posted on San Antonio to tell truck drivers not to use Charleston because a well organized group was not formed along East Charleston to lobby for signs. These issues are very political in PA.

For the second year in a row, the University of Colorado Boulder saw an increase in companies seeking to hire CU-Boulder graduates with full-time job postings on campus jumping 23 percent for the 2010-11 school year, compared with 2009-10.
The number of interviews companies conducted on campus also saw an uptick, increasing 9.6 percent during the same period, a testament to the quality of a CU degree even in a weak job market, according to Lisa Severy, director of CU-Boulder's Career Services office.
"Our recent graduates are having a lot of success in the job search, especially people who are prepared and engaged in their job search," Severy said. "The best ways to be engaged while you are a student is to take advantage of campus career fairs and information sessions, use the campus job posting tools and network outside of school."
In terms of sheer volume of job listings, technical skills are in high demand, Severy said. For example, graduates with degrees in computer science and electrical engineering are always in high demand. A relatively new trend in the job market is companies seeking social media specialists, she said.
"This is a niche many graduates can fill, because companies don't have this expertise yet," Severy said. "Graduates of any major who are knowledgeable about social media and enjoy working with it should have a lot of opportunities right now."
With so many applicants for every job, one would think it would make recruiters' jobs easier, but that is not necessarily the case, according to Severy.
"We hear from recruiters that they are avoiding the mass marketing of jobs because they get way too many applicants," Severy said. "Instead, they target small, quality pools of candidates that they can trust, which includes our system that is open only to CU-Boulder students and graduates."
Since 2009, CU-Boulder has offered job search assistance to alumni, free of charge. Services such as the university's online job-posting tool can be a real benefit because only alumni can access the system, she said.
The increase in recruiting activities also is impacting the upcoming fall career and internship fair on campus. While the event usually is held in the University Memorial Center's Glenn Miller Ballroom, this year more space was required, Severy said.
"We're sticking employers everywhere we can find space to provide as many opportunities to our students and graduates as possible," she said.
The fall career and internship fair for CU-Boulder students and alumni will be held Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the UMC. The fair is open only to CU-Boulder students and alumni.

Doing one practice...
Now if a bird or a fish tries to reach the end of its element before moving in it, this bird or this fish will not find its way or its place. When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point. When you find you way at this moment, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point; for the place, the way, is neither large nor small, neither yours nor others'. The place, the way, has not carried over from the past and it is not merely arising now.
Accordingly, in the practice-enlightenment of the buddha way, meeting one thing is mastering it--doing one practice is practicing completely. Here is the place; here the way unfolds. The boundary of realization is not distinct, for the realization comes forth simultaneously with the mastery of buddha-dharma.
There is no need to hurry and nowhere to go. As soon as one practices fully, this place is the whole full blown moon. The self changes, everything changes, so movement occurs. But although movement occurs, we never leave this place. The time of practice is not even taking place now. So mindfullness is extra. The time and space that Dogen is talking about are different from the ideas we have about time and space, now is not distant from past and future but totally embrace them. Here is not opposed to there, here includes all places. In other words, past and future are just taking place within the sphere of now ; room, streets, forests, seas are displayed within the one big space without edges or bounds, with no within and without. Meanwhile, we operate and need the dualistic consciousness that rises boundaries and thresholds everywhere and everytime. As we sit the body-mind and drop the body-mind, time and space realize themselves. No special awareness of this One taste is needed. It just takes place naturally. So we can let go of the chase and the search. So to practice one thing is to practice everything, to know one thing is enough. Each step contains the whole journey.

Tri-Cities talks about fiscal cliff
BRISTOL, Tenn./Va. - The possibility of catastrophic spending cuts and tax increases has many Americans on edge, wondering what's going to happen next.
The clock is ticking for congress to come up with a deal on this looming fiscal cliff.
"Don't know what's going to happen to the economy so yeah, I'm a little worried about it," says Virginia resident Tsze Chan.
"The federal deficit is a huge problem and that's why we're facing this," says business owner Ray Compson.
If congress doesn't reach a deal, certain tax cuts will expire, spending cuts will take effect, and tax rates will rise.
"They need to increase certain taxes but at the same time they have to reduce spending," says Chan.
Compson continues, "No one's going to want to put their names on having raised taxes on the middle class."
Small business owners tell News 5 they hope congress makes the right decision, so they can continue to have customers walk through their doors.
"If our taxes go up because of the fiscal cliff, it would be devastating on me personally and on my business."
But they're confident something will be worked out.
"I think congress at the last minute will be forced to act on it, to do something to prevent taxes from going up," Compson says.
"I mean the whole world is looking at the U.S. like, what are we going to do? So, I think it's kind of disappointing they have to wait till the last minute, till the last day to solve this,"
Chan tells us.
