Hi, I have a Thinkpad T510i with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. Since a few days ago, the fingerprint reader's red led is on all the time. It's very bright and distracting and lights up as soon as the machine is turned on, so probably not a driver issue in Windows. Otherwise the fingerprint reader works fine. I've tried removing the battery for a while, but that didn't help. I've also tried disabling the reader in BIOS. The reader was disabled but the led stays on regardless.
Any ideas? I guess I'll just have to send this for repair if I can't turn the led off otherwise.
Hello amrs and welcome to community,
Kindly uninstall fingerprint reader driver and software and check if the red led glows.
If then also the issue persist then update the BIOS
BIOS Update (Bootable CD) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP
BIOS update utility for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), XP
If the issue continues then you need to send the laptop to the service center.
Please share the status.

Anyone hear of this before or have a clue what could be the cause? The him does not change volume or change frequency with engine RPM. I just bought it and everything appears stock although I did see pics of this truck with blackout taillights that were changed back prior to my purchase.

Hey guys. Just wondering who I would have to talk to get one of the cold cast aluminum powder buckets? Who all makes those?

Hey guys. Just wondering who I would have to talk to get one of the cold cast aluminum powder buckets? Who all makes those?
Well, the only one who offered these, was fettpride. I think he stopped offering these awhile ago, but I highly doubt you'll be able to get one of these directly from him, given the current situation that he is going through.
You may just want to keep searching on ebay, try to get it second hand. I know I'd want one myself..
A cold cast helmet at the moment is nearly impossible to get ones hands on now. From what I know, FettPride is and was the only supplier, but they were extremely limited when he produced them for that short while. Also, given his current situation, any contact with him is nearly impossible.
Terminal Fettler does CC lids but obviously these are Boba versions... not sure exacly what the 'major' differences are but probably workable to achieve what your after as an alternative?
Just a thought...
A cold cast Boba bucket would definitely not work for Jango because you can't fill in the dent.
And both are really different in shapes. :facepalm But first the dent :lol

Preface: Yet another Novice Beekeeper here, so please keep in mind that I'm learning and am apt to make mistakes. I started in early May with a package of mostly syrup drowned bees and a Buckfast Queen, then in Mid-May with a package of replacement bees and an Italian Queen. I ended up splitting the replacement package to equalized the hives with the bees that survived the syrup drowning and starting off with two small hives. The Buckfast Queen never layed and by time I realized what was going on it was too late and the hive didn't make it. That left me with the Italian Hive that I had intended to requeen with a Buckfast Queen. Fast forward a few months...
I ended up requeening with a New World Carniolan (NWC) queen on the 22nd of August because of a delay in getting the Buckfast one. It was getting late in the season and I wasn't sure when I was going to get her so I decided I had better do something to help my hive make it through winter. (The Italian Queen didn't lay a very good pattern and I was worried about overwintering Italian bees in a weak hive.)
To make up for the lost hive, I ordered an Nuc of Buckfast bees that I could "Chop and Crop". (I know that this isn't recommended but that was the solution I chose to get the bees this year.) I picked up my nuc on the 25th of August, and bonus, not only was the nuc Buckfast with Tiger trait but my English Buckfast queen was there for me to take too. YAY!!! Ummm, uh oh...I just requeened that hive and don't want to mess with it any more right now. I decided to take her and make a small nuc from the chop and crop and existing hive and give myself time to let the bees settle down and figure out what to do (aka did I want to off a new queen that I just paid good money for...)
The Chop and Crop went very well despite the carnage and upheaval. Fast forward to my Labor Day Inspection...
I decided enough time had gone by that the NWC queen would be settled in that I could inspect and make sure they weren't trying to superseed her. The inspection went really well. The queen was in there laying away, cells full of eggs, large retinue of workers surrounding her, etc. I did, however, spot 4 beetles during my inspection. Two were in the area with the feeder, two were in the other end that is closed off with a solid follower board. I didn't see any in the hive proper, none on the comb and no larva evidence. The hive has no pollen stores so I have been feeding pollen patties on wax paper on the screened bottom of the hive. They have been eating them well and then chewing up the wax paper and taking it out of the hive so I thought this was working great (remember this for later). I did notice that the "nectar" in the comb has bubbles in it and it worried me that maybe it is fermenting or something but it wasn't actively bubbling. I have been feeding them "Bee Tea" for a few weeks now, but I try to change it often if they don't drain the jar quick enough so that it won't ferment.
I was not going to inspect the other hive or the nuc but then noticed some things that made me think I had better. I had seen some ants going to an area on the bottom board of the hive that has the chop and crop and also the nuc in it. The damp area that the ants were after was under where the nest was (I took care of most the ants with an ant bait station near the hive leg they were trailing up), not where the feeder was so I dropped the bottom board to check out what was going on. When I did that I saw that under where the pollen pattie had been on the nuc there was a slime area. Uh Oh!! There were also larva in the slime. When I checked the nuc the combs looked fine, but while I was trying to put down the camera after taking a picture of the English Buckfast queen...she decided to walk over to my glove and then went airborne. NOOO!!!! Now I have a queen buzzing around me like I'm a traffic tower, the queen I had waited months to get, and I have no clue how to get her back into the hive! I keep looking at the rest of the combs in hopes that she would land on one and I could put her in, but instead she landed on me and started walking up my chest toward my veil. When I tried to gently shake her into the hive she launched airborne again (flying queens are sure loud!) and I was just starting to panic when she landed on the comb I had pulled and I quickly put her back in the hive. SHEW!!!
When I inspected the Tiger Buckfast hive they looked great. They were busy attaching the cropped ends to the bars, no sign of beetles or anything, nice amount of eggs, etc... I had to fix how one bar was hanging but other than that I just wanted to make sure the queen had made it through the Chop and Crop carnage because I didn't spot her when I did it. She was in there safe and sound, really nice pattern of eggs and they were busy bringing in pollen from somewhere.
When I looked at the bottom board from that hive, I saw lots of larva in the debris from under the Tiger hive...so at that point I thought maybe they looked better than they were? I'm not sure I like the screened bottom boards. I am starting to wonder if it just lets these pests in? After seeing that I decided I had better drop the bottom board from the other hive too and check it out. That one had larva but in webs! Wax Worms? They were right under where my wax paper for the pollen pattie was.
So, despite the combs looking good, I am now concerned that they are all under attack by every bug out there except mites (didn't see them at all). Of course...the mites might have been hiding on me...
I'll try to add some pictures, but it doesn't want to let me right now.

His partner is Valerie Blaylock, a promising young doctor eager to unlock her own dormant abilities.
When the facility unexpectedly closes, they are forced to return to Concordia Medical Institute, where politics are more important than patient's lives, and doctors more concerned with image than their ministration.

C-3P0 to Pilot the Starspeeder 1000, Captain Rex will Return! | Facebook
Star Tours Starspeeder 1000s are flown using the latest AC-series Tour Droids. And in fact, our initial plans were for our flight to be piloted by AC-38 better known as "Ace." However, in discussions with George Lucas during the course of our production, we decided to take the story in a very different direction.
So…while AC-38 is supposed to be our pilot, by the time we actually take off, the droid sitting in the pilot's seat will be none other than…C-3PO!
It's one of the biggest changes and surprises in the new show. "Professional grit stopped me from yelling the glorious new storyline from the rooftops," said Anthony Daniels recently. "It's fun having secrets like this, waiting to share them at the right time."
You'll see just how Threepio becomes our pilot when the adventures continue next year.
This week, our Imagineering team begins installation of the Audio-Animatronics figures into the Starspeeder cabins at Disneyland park, and next month at Disney's Hollywood Studios.


text: Chris Ivory RFA Lookout How does everybody feel about Chris Ivory being acquired by Dallas to come in and play behind Demarco Murray. He was undrafted, so I don't think picks would be used to acquire him. I'm still a little iffy about how restricted free agents work, but I believe NO would have to match whatever we offer him if they want to keep him. From the limited times he came in and played, he always made something happened. He has a solid 5.1 ypc average and was my favorite back on the Saints. I feel he is very underrated, and Dallas should definitely take a look at him, as I think he is more than serviceable. I still think Dallas should draft a running back this year, even if they were to acquire a back. How does the zone feel about this possible acquisition?

It would be hard to find another large American company as bad off as Avon Products (AVP). Avon's long time CEO, Andrea Jung, was ousted late last year after nearly wrecking the company. Avon's new CEO, Sherilyn S. McCoy, formerly of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), joined the company in April. She has never before run a public corporation, let alone one in big trouble.
The Security and Exchange Commission's examination of Avon's communications with securities analysts already has cost CFO Charles Cramb his job. Avon is also under scrutiny over whether its Chinese operations meet compliance standards under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
But beyond the scandals, Avon's fundamental problem is that the beauty market is highly competitive, yet management has not concentrated on its core business. As Morningstar analyst Erin Lash recently wrote, "Despite restructuring initiatives that have cost the firm nearly $800 million through fiscal 2011, it appears to us that Avon is constantly putting out fires rather than proactively moving forward."
There is much here that needs fixing. Avon announced disastrous earnings in the previous quarter, and it forecast that things will get worse.
Avon, however, is fortunate that it may have a suitor. In May, perfume company Coty offered $24.75 a share for Avon, nearly 20% above Avon's stock price at the time. Coty had the financial backing of, among others, Warren Buffett. Avon dragged its feet and Coty withdrew its offer. But Coty, another consumer products firm or a private equity house will be back. Since the Coty offer was withdrawn, Avon's shares have dropped below $16 -- down from $43 four years ago. The market has no confidence in Avon, but with its brand and revenue, it is an ideal takeover target.

This tiny carrier has lost any chance it may have had to compete with larger competitors T-Mobile, AT&T (T), Verizon (VZ) and Sprint-Nextel (S). Investors have abandoned the company, depressing its shares from a 52-week high of $17.84 to $5.86 -- very near its period low.
Competition with the larger companies has begun to take a significant toll. The Associated Press recently reported that, "MetroPCS Communications Inc. says it gained a net 131,654 subscribers in the quarter, the worst result in years for the first quarter, which is normally the company's strongest. It ended the quarter with 9.5 million customers." The carrier's first-quarter earnings were so weak that a number of securities analysts downgraded its shares.
MetroPCS often is mentioned as a takeover target. In May, several Wall Street analysts said that the company was in buyout talks with T-Mobile, which is owned by giant European telecommunication company Deutsche Telekom. This immediately gave MetroPCS (PCS) stock a push higher. Later in the same month, MetroPCS shares rose again as the CEO of Sprint-Nextel said he expects consolidation in the cellular carrier market. Sprint and T-Mobile both continue to struggle because of their modest subscriber bases compared to AT&T and Verizon. Each needs more customers. While MetroPCS is too small to survive on its own, its purchase would give either Sprint or T-Mobile the additional customer critical mass it needs to compete.
By Douglas A. McIntyre, 24/7 Wall St.
The Raiders will play in the NFL next year -- they just won't play in Oakland. The team, founded in 1960, was one of the original members of the AFL and joined the NFL when the leagues merged in 1970. The Raiders won Super Bowls in 1976, 1980 and 1983, but their track record has been poor over the past decade.
The Raiders left Oakland once before, when the franchise worked out a better stadium deal in Los Angeles from 1983 to 1994. Oakland lured the team back with an agreement to add $220 million in improvements to the stadium where the team would play.
This time, the team's departure from Oakland will also be driven by the financial plans of its new owners. Al Davis had controlling ownership of the Raiders from the 1960s until his death last year. His heirs and several smaller shareholders now control the team. Current team managing owner Mike Davis already has said he may move the Raiders back to L.A. to get a better stadium deal after the Oakland stadium contract expires.
Davis recently told the San Francisco Chronicle, "Yeah, Los Angeles is a possibility. Wherever's a possibility. We need a stadium." The Raiders also could move to Santa Clara, where they would share a stadium with the San Francisco 49ers, much as the New York Jets and New York Giants share MetLife Stadium.
Launched in 1995, Salon.com was one of the pioneering news and commentary sites on the Web. In recent years, it has been eclipsed by larger and better financed sites such as The Atlantic and Washington Post (WPO)-owned Slate. Of course, today, there are thousands of websites that comment on the news constantly.
One sign that Salon is very close to being shuttered: The company "lost" its CEO and CFO recently. Chief Technology Officer Cynthia Jeffers, was put in charge, but Salon will need a great deal more than new management. At the end of the final quarter of 2011, it had $149,000 in the bank against short-term liabilities that included $12.7 million in loans. During the same quarter, Salon lost $997,000 on revenue of $1.03 million.
Rumors are that John Warnock, the cofounder of Adobe Systems (ADBE), and investment banker Bill Hambrecht fund the company. But with it falling apart at the seams, more money is unlikely to be forthcoming.
Suzuki Motor Corporation sold just 10,695 cars and light trucks in the U.S. in the first five months of this year. That was down 3.9% compared with the same period in 2011. The sales gave the manufacturer a U.S. market share of just 0.2%.
The obvious reason the company has trouble moving its vehicles is their poor reputation. In the 2012 JD Power survey of U.S. vehicle dependability, Suzuki's scores in power-trains, body and materials, and features and accessories were below those of almost every other brand.
One sign Suzuki is having trouble selling its vehicles is that it currently offers a very aggressive zero-percent financing package for 72 months on all of its 2012 cars, trucks and SUVs. Yet even with aggressive sales tactics, Suzuki cannot improve its position in the American market. Most of its cars sell for less than $20,000 and its trucks and SUVs for under $25,000. Almost every other manufacturer with a broad range of vehicles has flooded that end of the market with cheap, fuel-efficient models. And what is arguably the most successful car company in the U.S. based on growth -- Hyundai -- is doing particularly well in this segment, leaving little room for a Suzuki comeback.
Pacific Sunwear, which began in a surf shop in Newport Beach in 1980, built its reputation offering "California-style" accessories, primarily sunglasses, shoes and swimwear. It was popular for years, but recently, highly regarded corporate balance sheet and earnings research firm GMI Ratings put Pacific Sunwear of California on its list of companies at risk of going bankrupt -- and that should come as no surprise.
Five years ago, the company's stock traded for $23. Recently, it dropped to $1.50. In its most recent reported quarter, Pacific Sunwear lost $15 million on revenue of $174 million. The retailer's cash and cash equivalents dropped to $22 million from $50 million at the end of the previous quarter. Pacific Sunwear management said the company would have a non-GAAP net loss in the current quarter as well.
Pacific Sunwear also disclosed it had a new line of credit with Wells Fargo (WFC). Its comments about the loan in its latest 10-Q were telling: "if we were to experience same-store sales declines similar to those which occurred in fiscal 2010 and 2009, we may be required to access most, if not all, of the New Credit Facility and potentially require other sources of financing to fund our operations, which might not be available."
Why is the company in so much trouble? It is too small and is in a commoditized business. Nearly every major department store chain sells products similar to those Pacific Sunwear offers, and so do many niche retailers. Pacific Sunwear, meanwhile, has only 729 small stores. What will happen to the retailer? It could be bought by a larger company -- its market cap is only $108 million -- or it may go out of business with its inventory sold to other retailers.
RIM (RIMM) once owned the smartphone market. Its BlackBerry products were used largely by businesses. It is hardly worth repeating the story of how RIM was late to the consumer market, where it has been pounded relentlessly by Apple and an army of Google Android phones from manufacturers as diverse as Taiwan's HTC, South Korea's Samsung and Motorola in the U.S. The pace at which the company fell apart once the process began was even more extraordinary than its rise. Revenue and net income had jumped from $6 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, in fiscal 2008 to $20 billion and $3.4 billion in fiscal 2011. In just the past year, however, the company has warned twice that it would miss its earnings forecast, replaced a longtime CEO, warned a third time and disclosed plans for layoffs of thousands of employees.
Al Gore's Current TV was on life support even before it fired its only bankable star, Keith Olbermann, in March following a set of battles with the host over his perks. He was replaced by serial talk show host failure Eliot Spitzer. Compared to Olbermann's March figures, Spitzer's ratings in April were down nearly 70%, according to Nielsen. At the time, The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Replacement Eliot Spitzer pulled an anemic 47,000 total viewers in the first outing of Viewpoint, with just 10,000 among adults 25-54. The weeks since saw an early rebound, particularly in the demo, but in its four weeks on air Viewpoint has steadily declined in both respects."
Reuters recently reported that Current TV's audience had fallen enough that cable giant Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC) may have the right to discontinue carrying the channel. The closest Current TV has to a star is talk show veteran Joy Behar, a former cast member of "The View," who had her own show canceled by CNN's HLN in November. Gore does not have the deep pockets to keep a network with no future going.
Battered retailer The Talbots (TLB) is supposed to be getting purchased by Sycamore Partners for just over $2.75 a share, or $190 million, but the offer has been delayed for some reason. Sycamore already has lowered its offer once from the $3.05 a share it extended to the company in December.
Among the retailers most badly damaged by the recession, Talbots has to be near the top of the list, and its problems were compounded by its failure to appeal to consumers with distinctive products. While its shares traded for almost $26 five years ago, they now change hands for $2.50.
It's a wonder that Sycamore wants to buy the retailer. Even if the deal closes, Sycamore may find there is no solution to making the company viable again. When it last announced earnings, Talbots management said it planned to close 110 stores. The company also said it would try to find a new CEO. Talbots made only $1 million last quarter on $275 million in revenue. At the same time it announced earnings, it admitted that it could be in default under its debt facilities if its financial condition deteriorated further.
Talbots has been flanked by a number of department stores that carry women's discount ware and a number of niche chains, including Ann Taylor (ANN), Chico's FAS (CHS) and Limited Brands (LTD). The company's earnings demonstrate clearly the extent to which customers have abandoned Talbots. Its revenue was $2.3 billion in fiscal 2008, a figure on which it lost money. Annual sales are barely half that now. With the exception of a tiny profit last year, the retailer has lost money every year in the past five.
American's parent AMR filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Nov. 2011. The airline itself still operates largely as it did prior to the filing, but with some of the advantages the bankruptcy brings. Labor costs will be cut, along with debt service and lease obligations for airplanes.
AMR says it plans to emerge from Chapter 11 as a viable airline. But that will not happen. US Airways (NYSE: LCC) already has made it clear that it wants to buy American's assets. As soon as the rumors of a potential buyout started in April, some of American's largest unions said they backed such a plan as a way to protect jobs.
Earlier this month, US Airways CEO Doug Parker announced his desire to merge the two airlines. With US Airways probably willing to give AMR's creditors a good deal to get American's assets, the potential deal received tremendous support from bondholders and analysts. US Airways has much to gain from this transaction, as its position in the carrier market has been eroded by the mergers of Northwest and Delta and the later combination of United and Continental.

Yeah, I definitely love being down there. Thats a big part of the reason why even when I was playing linebacker, I would still go down on most third-downs and be able to rush. Thats what I do naturally.
Kiwanuka, who last year signed a contract extension, could have tested the free agency market if he wanted to, searching for a team that would have used him extensively as a defensive end. But he said he met with the Giants brass who sold him ion the idea of continuing to put his versatility to good use before he agreed to his contract extension.
I had a meeting with the GM (Jerry Reese) and (head coach Tom) Coughlin, and this is what I signed up for, he said. Theres going to be times when Im used at linebacker and there will be times when they need me as a defensive lineman. Im good as long as I feel prepared going into that game, Ill play whatever.

The New Zealand Superbike championship fires back into action for round four of the series this weekend at Hampton Downs after a mid-season break.
The South Island hosted the first three rounds, and again it's Aussie raider Robbie Bugden who holds the upper hand, leading the race for the title from Craig Shirriffs and Dennis Charlett.
If Shirriffs is to make inroads on Bugden's points lead he'll have to re-discover the form that saw him snatch a win from Bugden at the Timaru round of the championship. In fact, Shirriffs is the only rider to best the former champion so far this season.
"This weekend will be no different than any other race weekend," said Shirriffs. "You've got to turn up on the day and do the business.
"Robbie's no mug and he's been coming out here for a number of years now and he's the closest thing to a professional rider that we'll see in New Zealand for a long time.
"He's a classy rider and I enjoy racing against him. Winning's great but the main focus is finishing in front of Robbie to close that points gap - and that probably means winning the race."
Bugden is a four-time New Zealand Superbike champion and knows how to ride hard. The other riders respect him, as he's a clean racer who rides fair.
"So far we've had pretty much a perfect run. But as we all know it's not over yet and hopefully we can finish it off over the next two weeks," said Bugden. "Craig's certainly riding well this year and he's not letting me get away. With the points the way they are, one small mistake and Craig's right back in there so we have to try and keep the pressure on."
There's been a bit of chatter around the traps that the track surface at Hampton Downs was breaking up in places, which would make it awkward for the riders.
"Yeah, it was good to get a few laps last Friday to check out what the problem might be," said Shirriffs.
One of New Zealand's most prestigious motorcycle racing trophies will also be for grabs this weekend. Riders have been contesting the TT title since the 1930s when the race was held on Waiheke Island.
This year is the 40th anniversary of the death of one of the countries most promising at the time, Geoff Perry. Having just signed a works Suzuki contract to race AMA in America, Perry was on his way to the United States when his aircraft crashed off the coast of Tahiti.
Superbike points
After three rounds:
Robbie Bugden 145
Craig Shirriffs 121
Dennis Charlett 82

Aporkalypse Now?
I would love to say that I came up with that title all by myself, but I must give the credit to campusprogress.org.
So, Swine Flu is killing us all, huh? Not quite... I am of the opinion that if you eat your vegetables, get 8 hours of sleep, and get enough exercise, your immune system will be able to fight any flu off. I for one am not worried.
My hypochondriac friend is totally freaking out about it. I know it sounds really bad, but I hope she gets it. She is going to keep freaking out about it until she is immune, and that will happen once she gets it. After a week of feeling horrible she will go back to how she is now, just without worrying so much.
So far, RIT has not been taken over by the disease, however the hype is totally here. Posters everywhere warning you to stay in your room, isolated, if you come down with the flu. A website is devoted to up-to-the-minute information about what's going on here. I know it is an issue, but until it actually hits here, the hype seems overboard.
Comments (3)
Emily OkeyLet's all hope that no one gets the swine flu, I think that would be more preferable.
Josh KramerOh I completely agree. However, until a vaccine is widely distributed it isn't really going to go away. No viruses do. We just, as a population, become immune. Either through contracting it or getting a vaccine. So the same must happen with H1N1.
Clarissa BastonMy professor is a complete germaphobe! At our first class he gave a 30 minute lecture about spreading bacteria and staying home even if we get a sniffle. (It's my History of Design class) He even had us spread out so that we were at least 24 inches apart. This way we lessen the chance of getting each other sick.
But what a lot of people don't know is that more people die each year from the regular flu than it's porky cousin. Sooo...I'm not too worried. 8)

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I used to run regularly to reasonable club standard but for various reasons haven't run for a few years and have only recently started again. I started gradually as you are always told to and built it up bit by bit. I then bought some new trainers (since the 2020 I always run in the Asics 2000 series) and soon after got shin splints which was really frsutrating because it stopped me running for a few weeks and lost any fitness I had gained. I switched back to my old pair of shoes and was fine, tried the new trainers again and on my last run started to get pains again in my shins.
I have two questions:
1) Can new trainers give you shin-splints or is this just likely to be a coincidence?
2) What, if anything can be done to prevent shin splints?
Yes, I think they can. I got them really bad to the point of not being able to walk, approximately 5 weeks after purchasing a new pair. I bought Asics kinsei's which I was gutted at having to get rid of them but they were wrong for me.
To prevent shin splints you need to do lots of calf strengthening exercises. See link attached:
I wanted to ask some questions of my own as I am having a new kind of pain in my legs, just a week after switching to some new Asics GT-2120's. I have been running for a year and am 4 weeks away from my first marathon in Cologne. I used to run with Asics Gel-Landreth II's. Last week I went to my local (and very excellent running shop) and after more gait analysis, they switched me to the 2120's which have a bit more support on the outside of the shoe (stop my feet rolling outwards - I have very high arches and tend towards supination).
My first run was 30km and I swapped between old and new shoes every 5km lap. I have since done 2 x 11K and last night and 8K run, none of them particularly fast for me (5minute K's).
What had been a little niggley feeling in my feet became really pronounced last night. I have tightness in the tendons that run over the ankle from the two little toes on each foot, then causing pain in the dorseflexors at the front of my lower leg. I'm due to do a 19K run tomorrow but am worried I might be running into an injury like shin splints (which I really want to avoid after my hard prep to date!). Also, can't get advice from my running shop man as he is now on holiday for two weeks and then I am out of the country for 10 days.
What to do? Wrong shoes? Probably not. Breaking them in too quickly? Maybe, but I don't have the experience to know what to do. I'd really appreciate any good advice some of you could offer.
Just wanted to bump this back up as i would be keen to get any input from smarter/ wiser people here. I avoided doing my 19K yesterday as a precaution (but managed a good stint at a Scottish Celidh instead!). I've also started doing lots more lower leg exercises.
But I'd still like to know, is it possible that I am breaking in the running shoes too quickly (I find it hard to doubt the advice of the person who recommended them to me). Thanks.
Dizzie Lizzie,
Thanks for the link to the article on shin splints!

I am about to build my first hive stand. I thought to use
pressure treated wood. I know you should not use any
treated wood for the hive boxes, bottom board ... (with the exception
of painting the outsides of the hive boxes with latex paint).
Would you use pressure treated wood for a hive stand?
I guess, at least the posts of the stand should be pressure treated wood.

Site: Port Charlotte, Fla. (North Charlotte Regional Park)
Event: Snowbird Invitational
Score: Michigan 8, Mount St. Mary's 7
Records: U-M (3-4), MSM (3-6)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, March 2 -- vs. Saint Louis - doubleheader (Port Charlotte, Fla.), 11 a.m.
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Sophomore Kyle Jusick (Portage, Mich./Portage Central) broke a 7-all tie with a single to right in the eighth, giving the University of Michigan baseball team an 8-7 win over Mount St. Mary's on day one of the Snowbird Invitational Friday (March 1) at the North Charlotte Regional Park.
Michigan trailed 7-6 going into the bottom of the eighth. Junior Michael O'Neill (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty) singled to left with one out. O'Neill stole second with two outs and tied the game on freshman Jacob Cronenworth's (St. Clair, Mich./St. Clair) single up the middle. Michigan put runners on first and second after sophomore Kevin White (Charlottesville, Va./St. Anne's-Belfield) reached on an error. Cronenworth later scored on Jusick's game-winning single.
The Wolverines opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the first. Senior Patrick Biondi (Woodhaven, Mich./Divine Child) walked and moved to third on an O'Neill single. Freshman Travis Maezes (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) plated Biondi with a sacrifice fly. O'Neill stole second, went to third on a throwing error and scored on Cronenworth's grounder to second. Mount St. Mary's tied the game at two in the second, but Michigan came back with three runs in the third. Biondi was hit by a pitch to lead off the frame. He stole second, his 90th career stolen base, and scored on a Maezes single. White singled with two outs and Jusick was hit by a pitch, loading the bases. Junior Cole Martin (Bay City, Mich./John Glenn) then walked, forcing in Maezes. A wild pitch brought in the third run of the inning, making it 5-2 Wolverines.
Mount St. Mary's batted around in the fourth, scoring four runs to take a 6-5 lead. Michigan tied the game in the bottom of the fifth as senior/junior John DiLaura (Clinton Twp., Mich./Warren DeLa Salle) drove in Cronenworth with a sacrifice fly to right. Mount St. Mary's retook the lead with a run in the seventh.
O'Neill went 4-for-5 at the plate for the Maize and Blue while White had a pair of hits. Senior/junior Logan McAnallen (DeWitt, Mich./DeWitt) earned the win in relief. He struck out a batter and did not allow a hit in 1.2 innings. Senior Kyle Clark (Portage, Mich./Portage Northern) struck out the side in the ninth to pick up his first save of the season.

I have not done any reseach on these hive types. I have no bees. I have two nucs on order to place into my two langstroth hives that I fabricated and built.
I plan to keep bees for pollination purposes, hobby value, and general awesomeness. I'm not in it for the money, or even for the honey, for that matter. If I got a gallon of honey in a year, I'd have more than i needed.
So, with that out there, I plan to try and trap some swarms and was cutting wood last night and got to thinking...why the heck would I make new Lang Deeps and all of the frames to have them sit out in the woods, fields...etc and possibly never be used. Making all of the frame components is labor intensive and not all that fun. So, I decided to do top bar traps. Well, if I'm doing top bar traps, I might just as well have a top bar hive or two.
So, now I have to consider the Warre or the Kenyan tob bar hive. I'm not concerned about the difference in costs, or the difference in appearance, or honey production. I"m most concerned about which will be the easiest to overwinter in a Michigan climate. Without knowing anything, it seems like teh Warre might be the better option.
I'll be researching this for a few days before building, but I figured I'd toss it out there for input from you folks. I welcome all input you might have, but I don't want to stir the pot and start a big debate about this hive or that hive. I will likely end up with langstroth, warre, and KTBH. after a couple of eyars, i can decide which I prefer.

TO COMMEMORATE the 30th anniversary of their blockbuster "Sports" album, Huey Lewis and the News returned to Mill Valley's 2 A.M. Club the other day. Not to drink, necessarily, but to pose for an update of the photo of the band in their hometown bar that was on the cover of the album that shot them out of Marin County into Reagan-era, 1980s rock stardom.
"Sports" delivered a grand slam of Top 10 hits — "The Heart of Rock & Roll," "I Want a New Drug," "Heart and Soul" and "If This Is It." A fifth single, "Walking on a Thin Line," even cracked the Top-20.
"We didn't know we were going to have four or five hits, we just wanted one," Huey told me, speaking by phone from his Montana ranch. "We needed one, and it turned out we had five. Who knew?"
Huey and the News are celebrating this milestone with a new 30th anniversary issue of "Sports" with all nine original songs digitally remastered along with a second disc with live renditions of all the tunes, some never before released. It comes out on May 14.
After rehearsing in their new studio and office in San Rafael, Huey and the band are hitting the road on a "Sports 30th Anniversary Tour" of North America with more U.S. and international dates being added as we speak.
They've already been on "Dancing with the Stars," "Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me," and they are scheduled to play on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on May 15. They're also booked to appear on CBS "Sunday Morning" and "Good Morning America." The Wall Street Journal is working on a piece about them.
If you were around here in the '80s, you probably remember how cool it was that one of the biggest bands of the decade, their songs ubiquitous on the radio, were an entirely homegrown Marin product. Huey, sax player/arranger Johnny Colla, drummer Bill Gibson, keyboardist Sean Hopper, guitarist Chris Hayes and bassist Mario Cipollina were all Marin guys who came out of the local bands Soundhole and Clover and got together at a Monday night jam at Uncle Charlie's in Corte Madera.
Huey wasn't even the lead singer in Clover, but manager Bob Brown bought into him as a frontman the first time the handsome Huey, radiating charisma and good guy charm, walked into his office in Mill Valley.
"Bob is probably the third person on the planet who thought I could sing a song that could be commercial," Huey recalled. Brown, who now owns Rancho Nicasio, parted ways with Huey and the band last year. But through most of their career, Huey says, "He was a relentless advocate for Huey Lewis in the News, which was intrinsic to our success."
It was Brown, after all, who persuaded the band's label, Chrysalis, to let them make their records and videos on their home turf.
"The thing we're proudest of is that we did it ourselves in Marin County," Huey explained. "In 1982, there weren't any bands coming up that made records in their hometown. You didn't do that. You went to L.A. and did it that way. If Bob hadn't pushed so hard, it wouldn't have happened."
But it did. "Sports" was recorded at the Record Plant in Sausalito and Fantasy Records in Berkeley. The choice of the 2 A.M. Club for the cover shot was a natural because in Mill Valley, the bar is a landmark ("turn left at the 2 A.M. Club") and has an authenticity and lack of pretension that seemed to counter the "yuppie rock" label some critics were trying to pin on the band.
"The place kind of looked like us and where we're from," Huey said. "We're local characters anyway."
In today's digital music business, there are any number of ways for young musicians to make records and be heard. Huey, who'll be 63 in July, reminded me that in 1982 there was no Internet, no smartphones, hardly any personal computers, no jam band scene, no YouTube.
"The one avenue to success was Top-40 radio," he said. "What was going on in those days was that you tried to write, arrange and produce a hit record. Everything was driven by that. So we recorded 'Sports' with an ear toward radio."
The casual cover notwithstanding, "Sports" was meticulously, methodically produced to sound glossy and good over the airwaves.
"With the cover, it seems like it could be a pub record," Huey said. "It was really anything but. Each track was handled very specially. Everything was overdubbed piece by piece. Listening to it now, it sounds like a collection of singles. And that's what it was."
Huey and the News were also on the vanguard of rock videos as vehicles into mainstream pop culture. Like the albums, they were also locally made. The video for "Don't Ever Tell Me That You Love Me," for example, was shot in the Cushing Memorial Amphitheater on Mount Tamalpais.
"We dressed in our sharp clothes and went up to the amphitheater on the mountain and goofed around," Huey chuckled, crediting that video for helping them get a record deal.
It was that deal that led to the "Sports" album, rock stardom and now, 30 years later, a tour in which the band, boasting four of the original members, will be playing their breakout album from front to back.
"We've got a lot of work ahead of us, but the important thing is we can still play music for a living, and we've had a career," Huey said. "We have 25 people working for us. All these years later, we're still a cottage industry from Marin County."

I've seen Ansah listed as 6'6 on some sites and Okafor at 6'4 1/2 (shrug).
I have no problem with anyone saying Ansah edges Okafor from a sheer athletic standpoint (and most Giants fans will probably agree that we take the more athletically inclined generally speaking).
Okafor just seems more devastating to me (combination smarts, football talent and awareness).

Richard Ginns - In FloatA 2014 release on Tattersall's Cotton Goods label. This is electo-acoustic ambient at it's finest. The atmosphere is a fragile one with sounds hovering, sustaining, and then vanishing. Listening to the album brings to mind the image of motes of dust floating through a sunbeam. To tie this into the YouTube thread: This is an album that I never would have bought if the artist hadn't uploaded it to Bandcamp. The cost of buying this limited edition release, combined with the shipping from the UK, was prohibitive. I just didn't want to take a chance based on the few samples I heard on the Cotton Goods website. But after streaming the album once on Bandcamp, I found myself returning to it over and over again and finally bought the digital version as a way of showing my support. Stream/Buy digital: https://richardginns.bandcamp.com/album/in-float (Curves on the Surface is my favorite track)Buy physical: http://boomkat.com/cds/909351-richard-ginns-in-float (which is now on sale!)
I had a feeling that you might like it, Anthony. I bet Joe R. will too; it has a Porya Hatami quality to it.
Thanks for the head's up on Sea Change, Joe. That absolutely belongs in my Wish List--along with Anthony's new one. (I just wish the Wish List wasn't growing so fast!)
........ But without the "burden" of titles, your imagination is free to roam where ever. Anybody else feel this way?
Quote from: Joe R on April 07, 2014, 07:39:05 PM........ But without the "burden" of titles, your imagination is free to roam where ever. Anybody else feel this way?"...I'm really digging the third track by Steve Roach on his third album out this year.....""....is that the track with no rhythms on the album where all the others have rhythm?....""...No, it's the track with glurpy sounds and what sounds like a hypatpotamus hiccuping....""....oh, I thought that was the fourth release this year - but then I was counting the collaberation with Lady Gaga - you know, the album that sounds like her second one but with the deep space track followed by the australian desert one....""....oh, I heard that last week, I was counting it as her 5th album this year, not Steve's fourth!!..."
I ordered that nachtplank CD, but after almost 2 months I find out it's a pre order. When I requested a refund as it Still wasn't even completed, I got no response and had to file a PayPal claim. Terrible label that txt. Plus, $30 for one CD is a bit excessive.

I noticed that there are a few WWll POW camps where the US Held German pow's,
such as Plattsburg Air Force Base ( Base closed during the first base closures in the 80s)
this was located towards the very top of NY State, another one in Located in NY State
but more centeralized off route 12 located near the townships of Ohio & Russia. I found this base by sheer accident when I purchased property on hall road years ago, this base has been closed for decades, the fence has major vegitation overgrowth so its easy to miss, however still on the fence remans the signs THIS IS A UNITED STATES MILITARY
INSTALATION NO TRESSPASSING ALLOWED KEEP OUT THE USE OF DEADLY FORCE IS AUTHORIZED IN THIS AREA. ) this area is a bit creepy around that base area and its no bigger than the mountain top. I did notice the last time I was up there which was in the early 90s that some signs were still there, however when I looked it up on the actual ownership of the land to see if the Goverment had sold it, they couldnt locate it in thier books. Not to mention when I told them right where it was they looked at me like I was crazy. I talked to an old timer that was my neighbor 1500 ft down the road LOL, and he told me that, the base was used as a transferpoint for german POW's, But again this property was Used by both the Air Force and the Army, But back then there was hardly any residents in the area and those that did reside there were spreads far apart. for those that know the area its about 2 miles NE ( aprox distance take a left on hall road which is a seasonal road and follow it until you eathier have to turn left or righ tand you found da place) of the center of the town of Poland. Which now makes some sence of why all the towns in that area are named after european countries.Whn I was there there were only a few quansit huts left there and several other bldgs. However Ididnt go inside the perimeter fense all though I was tempted to do so, but knowing my luck, there would have been a military guard in there that would have shot my ass up! or who knows this could have been the second Area 51. all though its a small area it would have to have been named area Fifty one and a half!. ther eare many installations that the government has many of which have been sold off,, but many remain in the hands of the US Goverment. my question is, If the Goverment has nothing to hide why are these out of the way bases closed and not been sold off at auction. I could understand the importance of Plattsburge due to its being so close to canada. not that they are a threat, but many of not so wanted persons have tried to enter the US via Canada. So I could see this place being used as a Detention Center,But hopefully it wont be. The US Goverment is wise to the point where it sees its citizans, not standing for its BS anymore and that the citizans want accountability from the politicans when they screw up. If every LEGAL Citizan Not in a Gov. Position.) in this country stood up to the Goverment thing would eathier strighten out... Or we would be just like all the other Nations that are standing up against Goverment Corruption thiewr dictators. My question is how long before that will happen here? I mean I dont want to see gun battles in the street Ive already seen enough of that. Ive lived thorugh the Riots of the 60s we dont need that crap eathier ( JUsat my opinion by why do you think parts of Detroit has never been built up after the Riots? and the Answer is---Why waist money rebuilding when people are only going to torch the city again! Personally I believe that we are headed down a dark and hazardious road filled with many dangers, all of them tend to come from one direction Washington DC and all its little branches of its poisionious tenticals know as state capitals and all those offices that are governed by them. It woill conme to the point when Goverment Employees will have to make a choice, which is Do what Im told No matter what the Cost be , weither it be the taking of a human life that has done nothing to that pituclar person or any other , the only crime is disagreeing with those in authority & politicans,and possible civil disobeadence just by lawfull assembley alone which we have that right under the United States Constituation, the right to assemble!. that could turnm into another Kent State in a hurry. We as a nation of all ethnichtic backgrounds whom are citizans,of theis nation its time to turn this country , back into the great manufacturing nation it once was! and not depend on forgin goods that are broken bullsullshit anyway, and filled with toxins in the paint used for our kids toys and the list goes on. As formyself I will not and refuse to take orders from anyone that has nothing but thier own intrest at heart and how much they can steel from the american people. I refuse to be terroized in my own country and my own home, Just as everyone has its own rules in thier household, that is respected by your guests and family( which even family has to be put into place from time to time am I right?)
Its just a matter of what is right and what is wrong. But what I do see in the future if thing do not change, the first ones to get rounded up will be all former Military personal espicaly the ones with special talents, Police officers that do not agree with public policy, and of course all military consencious objectors, and those on the black lists of Militias AND the list will go on until they have exuasted and nuteralized any and all possible threats. I'll leave one poit to ponder, There is no doubt that Adolph Hiltler was a monsters Monster! and more than likely would have had his own mother tourtered and then exucuted if she disagreed with him, just like many other political prisoners during his tenure of Dictatorship. If the United AStates is so gung ho on out Militaries fighting capabilities, then why do we copy certain battle skills and manuvers that were prefected by the Third Riech? they say it wikll get worse before it gets better, Id start looking down the road to see whos going to pop thier head up for 2016. would anyone care to place a small bet on the election outcome, not onlu is it gonna be a huge surprise, but its going to make alot of people answer the question is election even legal.
what I see is a former President as a VP and a female president who knows nothing even thiough the female canandate may have served the Goverment in a diffrent office and or capicity. and if that happens, As the old saying in the Corps and the Navy! Stand BY to be Standing By, this is going to get real ugly real quick. I support and will defend the United States Constituation to the best of my ability, As I took this oath long ago and on several occassions I might add ( diffrent branches ya Know) I may not agree with everything you say But by god Ill defend your right to say it...Doc
if you really want to scare yourself TRY to figure out WHY the US invaded panama in the late 80s--
just saying--
I'm thinking it was to give the cia full spectrum dominance control over the coke industry from and through panama. Noriega was in their way.
Am I right??????
Sorry, off topic a bit here..
- Iran Contra Affair.. Iran and Iraq are at war.. America decides to like Iran at the time. Missiles on the way, compliments of the American taxpayer.
Ollie becomes messenger boy.. Delivers missiles.. Ollie picks up cash, turns money over to C.I.A... C.I.A.. flies to South America buys drugs, brings drugs back to America, makes money too support our friends at the time who are killing each other down there.. Avoiding Govt. budget requests $$, which would not make it a secret war anymore..
Ollie gets phone call..
"Ollie Iran here.. You mother frigger American pig, no guidance systems with the rockets. All we have is a big firecracker." :lol: "We want our $$$ back."
Ollie don't know nuttin.. Next things he knows, he is testifying at a Congressional hearing..
- Panama.. Noriega was serving his purpose for the U.S.. Drug trafficking corruption, making people America did not like disappear.. Nice guy. Then he either got greedy, or was about to roll? Then that damn canal issue.. What a mess.. Adios Noriega, we do not need you no mas..
Follow the money.. Money.. :loopeye:
Chapter II. Air America..
look up "school of the americas"
the old joke was we were the cleaning crew and we had to figure out what to do with the administrations dirty laundry.
i don't know if i should say any more--there are some really old bones here.

Giants defense sucked last year, they won it all. Packers and Saints won with bad defenses. Defense doesn't win games. The ability to outscore your opponent wins. How ever that may be
Doesn't the current version of Osi epitomize this topic. He has turned into a freaking dancing bear out there. We need to find..........then bring the nasty!
That can bring the wood so hard you don't want to go near him again. When he hits you he tells you to stay down unless you want some more. A big NASTY is a RB that's would rather run you over than make a move that makes you miss...like Brandon Jacobs did in his prime. A big NASTY is a LB that stuffs you so hard at the line of scrimmage that you feel like you just ran head first into a freight train. A Big NASTY is a pulling guard that hits you so hard you don't remember what day it is or where you are.You dig it?
Ray Lewis epitomizes NASTY, we need an enforcer in the middle like that! Jomo - loved you dancing bears analogy!

The Last Windrow: Looking ahead with optimism
This is the week that all columnists love. It is the week when we can reflect back on the year 2012 and give you our observations, comments and criticisms. This year there are plenty of all of the above for fodder.
I typically don't like to look back. As my Grandma Bessie said to me once, "What's past is past. Look ahead." I've found that to be rather sound advice over time. Perhaps she gathered that attitude as a result of having immigrated to the United States when she was 17 years old, never to return to the "old country," as she used to call it. She never set eyes on her birth family again, except for the few that also immigrated to this country. What's past is past. Not much we can do about it.
Also, being raised on a farm, I learned early on that just because you had a crop failure or a hail-out one year didn't necessarily mean that you were going to have one in the coming year. You couldn't just store the planter and decide not to plan for next year's crop. You had to look ahead and try to be optimistic about it. We all knew that not everything was going to turn out on the "up" side, but we made optimistic plans anyway. Our mental health depended on that way of thinking.
But, one does learn from the past. We can't just stick our heads in the sand and ignore what history has taught us. There are lessons to be learned from looking back so as not to repeat the same mistake twice. You didn't plant corn on ground where history had taught you that it wouldn't grow. You learned from past experience that it paid to vaccinate your stock. If you got stiffed by a guy who bought your hay, you learned not to sell to him again unless it was cash on the barrel. There were lessons you learned from the past.
Actually, I shouldn't even be able to write this column this year because according to the Mayans, the world was supposed to have ended on this very day that I am typing this column. There is nary a cloud in the blue sky this morning, the starlings are singing on the high-line wires and our Black Lab has chased her daily rabbit out from under our bird feeder at dawn. As far as I can detect, the world is still spinning through the universe and those who had stored canned goods to survive the ending of the planet will have something to eat for New Year's dinner. So much for that kind of looking ahead.
The past year has had its share of triumphs and tragedies, just like any other year that I have walked this earth. Lately, it seems to me we are heavier on the tragedy side of the scale and I'm hoping the year to come will have a lot less of that. But, we have had triumphs too and we who live here in this great land have plenty of good stuff to look forward too.
Blame that positive feeling on my farm upbringing. The winter will end, spring will come, the new seed will be planted in the earth and a crop will spring forth and a bountiful harvest will come. At the start of the new year, all things remain possible. It is the way I choose to perceive the coming year, 2013. It is good for the positive state of my mental health to think this way.
Happy New Year!
See you next time. Okay?

Some interesting observations on Obamacare
Original post made by Joe, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Oct 6, 2013
But the single, best observation that I've read from anybody, from anywhere, was from the retired professional. She said she supported Obama and Obamacare and was happy to see it made into law. Her quote?
"Of course, I want people to have health care," she said. "I just didn't realize I would be the one who was going to pay for it personally."

Very astutely argued Joe. I think James Madison or one of the other thirteen Founding Fathers said something exactly like your saying. All of your posts really rise the bar for dia-log.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 6, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Lol, from a 'professional', no less. One wonders what she was a professional at and whether she realizes that even in retirement she's still getting screwed.
In the immortal words of obamas minister and mentor, rev. Jeremiah Wright, 'this country's chickens have come home to roost.' Who would have thought that it would be you paying for someone else's medical care. Many Obama voters thought it was free...or at least 'someone else' would be paying. Apparently, for low information voters, that made obamacare alright. I love it when're reality smacks the ignorant upside the head!

I've got a hunch, Right, that you love it when you see ANYbody get smacked upside the head. Cuz that's what everyone else accept us deserves. Tea Party Rules!
Cholo your right. Because VA is run by government and government can't do anything right. Our Founding Fathers new this. Ask James Madison who was for government shutdowns, the more the better.

Tea party Ginny....You sound like one of te geniuses who say keep the government out of my Medicare.You people hate everything about government until you need the government or use what it provides.Hypocrites.
a resident of Mohr Park
on Oct 6, 2013 at 5:18 pm
Laws can be changed.Now that it is out there the repubs will have an opportunity to actually govern and propose changes to fix what needs fixing instead of crying and lying.I will wait anxiously for the next year or so to see something constructive and intelligent from the repubs,an actual plan to make needed improvements in the law.I know that is asking a lot,to actually do their job instead of whatever it is they do now.The law is a start.Nobody ever said it was going to be perfect.It is so obvious that the biggest fear the repubs have is that in a few years after needed changes are made to fix the problems,we will be stuck with another democratic plan that has made the country better and the hated Obama will have a lasting legacy.Oh the thought.

I can't make many positive comments about the VA anymore.
As for the Tea Party, they have a right to exist.
However, I believe that there will soon be fireworks between the Tea Party and more fair minded Republicans! Let the fireworks begin!
Medicare is a gift for many Americans.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Sometimes the average is anything but average
Brian Hayes
Fat Tails
The little procedure I have named the factoidal function is so simple that I'm sure someone must have noticed it before. I have not found a mention of this specific process, but slightly more general models involving products of random numbers do appear in the literature. (Review articles by Mark Newman of the University of Michigan and by Michael Mitzenmacher of Harvard University are particularly helpful.)
The context of these discussions is the study of heavy-tailed or fat-tailed distributions. The familiar normal distribution is notin this class: It is lean-tailed. The extremes of the normal probability curve, far from the peak, fall away exponentially, so that unlikely events become reallyunlikely and are never seen. Fat-tailed distributions decay more slowly, allowing room for outliers and freaks. Human height is a normally distributed variable; most people are less than two meters tall, and nobody reaches three meters. Human wealth has a fat-tailed distribution; worldwide, median net worth is a little over $2,000, but there are also millionaires and billionaires. (If height had the same distribution as wealth, there would be people two million meters tall.)
The distribution of wealth was one of the subjects that first aroused interest in fat-tailed distributions, starting with the work of the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto in the 1890s. Later it emerged that word frequencies in natural languages are also described by a fat-tailed distribution, usually called Zipf's law, after George Kingsley Zipf. The sizes of cities offer another example: If urban populations were normally distributed, we wouldn't have Mumbai or São Paulo. In the past decade or so, it seems like fat tails have been turning up everywhere: in the number of links to Web sites and citations of scientific papers, in the fluctuations of stock-market prices, in the sizes of computer files.
The classic fat-tailed distribution is one where the decay of the tails is described by a power law. The probability of observing some quantity x goes as x -a, where a is a constant; the smaller the value of a, the fatter the tails. When a is less than 2, the mean of the distribution does not exist. Drawn on a graph with logarithmic scales, a power-law distribution takes the form of a straight line. Another fat-tailed distribution, called the lognormal, follows a straight line over a certain range but at some point takes a sudden nosedive. The lognormal, as the name suggests, is the distribution formed by variables whose logarithms are normally distributed.
What about the factoidal function—which distribution describes the n? values? My first guess was a lognormal, based on a vague intuition that the logarithms of the n? products should indeed be normal. So much for my intuition! A log-log graph of the factoidal function shows clear evidence of power-law behavior: The graph is a straight line, with no hint of the "bended knee" to be expected in a lognormal. The calculated value of the exponent a is about 1.07, well inside the range where the mean and variance cease to exist.
With guidance from Newman and Mitzenmacher I eventually came to understand why the factoidal follows a power law. They pointed me to a paper by William J. Reed of the University of Victoria in Canada and Barry D. Hughes of the University of Melborne in Australia. Reed and Hughes show that when a process of exponential growth is stopped at random times, the resulting distribution of values follows a power law. One of their examples is multiplication of random numbers with mean m, stopped after a random number of terms. The factoidal function is merely a special case of this process.
The shape of a probability distribution can have grave consequences in many areas of life. If the size and intensity of hurricanes follows a normal distribution, we can probably cope with the worst of them; if there are monster storms lurking in the tail of the distribution, the prospects are quite different. Those who make a profession of risk assessment—insurance underwriters, financial analysts—take a keen interest in these questions.
Could the fat-tails phenomenon clear up the Lake Wobegon mystery? Well, maybe it can teach us a new way to understand the phrase, "All the children are above average." It's not about drawing a line through the population and having each and every child above the line. The sense of "all" is not "each and every" but the totality of children. If we can believe that human talents and abilities have some distribution that escapes the bounds of means and variances, then "all" children can indeed be above average.

Reviews of this property
I really enjoyed my stay. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean (might be a little bit noisy due to wooden floor above). Mornings you can have a walk (ca. 30min.) to nearest PATH station or just take a bus. I recommend to take Uber from Exchange Place PATH station (7usd) while coming back at night as neighborhood does not feel super safe after dusk. However I must highlight it that when it comes to price/quality ratio I give a very good note.
Where to start first . This place is very interesting in many ways but not in a possitive way. Yes , the place is close to Manhattan but paradoxically pretty difficult to get there . If you want to get there by public transportation , you need to change 3 times. From subway to path train and to lightrail or bus. Or you can also use the taxi (from Grove street it is around 7dollars + tips) In general if you want to get to the city it will cost you more than 50 min of travelling with public transportation. Area of this flat is as someone mentioned before veeeery sketchy even dangerous( after dark I will not recommend use of a public transportation to get to your address of staying , definitely taxi! ) We were even speaking to police officer who was paradoxically in charge of that district (Jersey city) and he warned us about this area, because of the drug violence – he literaly said this! We experienced some difficulties with the room also. There was a gap between the AC and window, therefore the second night came a little visitor(mouse). The gap was fixed just with the stiff paper. We cannot imagine how this room works in winter time, because it was relatively cold there. When we came into the appartment, there were no soap to wash hands with. We didn´t have any instructions, even the basics, how to get to appartment and so... Be aware of the american locks, mainly in this room, because you can easily get stuck in front of the room meanwhile your keys are inside of the room. Locks works here very differently from EU ones, so we recommend to take your keys with you even within the flat. When we were trying to contact Sylvia and discuss some matters about the appartment and surroundings, she promised she would come the next morning but she didn´t show up even contact us back. Consider your stay here.
We stayed for two weeks in this room.
The area at first, seemed a bit sketchy but after talking to someone who's been living there for over 3 month, everything was great.
Nothing happened to us (don't judge the neighborhood just by the looks :) ).
The room and the house in general are really cool and you have everything you need (bathroom, nice kitchen, living room, AC).
Also going to the city is pretty easy, it takes you about 25min with the LightRail and the PATH from Exchange Place.
I would totally recommend it to everyone who is looking for a affordable place to stay while doing a NYC trip.
I was 6 days in New York and have lived in that time in the house of Sylwia. The accommodation itself was top. Comfortable beds, large living room with kitchen and two bathrooms furnished reasonable. There were towels also by the hostess, as free wireless. Bursts is (2x double bed rooms, 1xEinbettzimmer) for 5 people. Sylwia is and when guests to meet only on Monday departures on. But what not disturbing, because then you have more privacy. What should be the narrow, is the fact that sound insulation in the construction of the house was probably a foreign word. If there are more guests in the apartment over it, it can be night and morning sometimes be a bit louder as each step sounds like a herd of zebras. And toilet paper you should buy in any case on the first day, as the funny way will not be restocked. Smaller kiosks are just around the corner, but an all too many choices should not be expected. American lifestyle up.
Ich war 6 Tage in New York und habe in dieser Zeit in dem Haus von Sylwia gewohnt. Die Unterkunft an sich war Top. Gemütliche Betten, ein großes Wohnzimmer mit Küche und zwei vernünftig eingerichtete Badezimmer. Handtücher gab es auch von der Gastgeberin, so wie freies W LAN. Platzt ist für insgesamt 5 Leute (2x Doppelbettzimmer, 1xEinbettzimmer). Sylwia ist eigentlich nur Montags und wenn Gäste Abreisen an zu treffen. Was aber nicht weiter stört, da man dann mehr Privatssphäre hat. Was zu beimengen ist, ist die Tatsache, dass Trittschalldämmung beim Bau des Hauses wohl ein Fremdwort war. Sind noch weiter Gäste in der Wohnung drüber, kann es nachts und morgens auch mal etwas lauter werden, da sich jeder Schritt anhört wie eine Herde Zebras. Und Klopapier sollte man sich auf jeden fall am ersten Tag kaufen, da die komischer Weise nicht nachgeliefert wird. Kleinere Kioske sind direkt um die Ecke, aber eine All zu große Auswahl sollte man nicht erwarten. American Lifestyle eben.
Very nice and clean apartment. After 5min walk on Liberdy you reach the Light Rail State Park. In Newport, the path change and continue until the 33th. Even you are in Manhattan. Sylwia is very nice. She has even picked me up from the airport. Will certainly come back again.
Sehr schöne und saubere Wohnung. Nach 5min Fußweg erreicht man die Lightrail am Liberdy Staate Park. In Newport in die Path umsteigen und bis zur 33th fahren. Schon ist man in Manhattan. Sylwia ist sehr nett. Sie hat mich selbst vom Flughafen abgeholt. Werde bestimmt wieder kommen.
very nice apartment - very friendly and reliable host - costs reasonable - absolutely recommendable!
It's just been a pleasure to stay there...
I recommend to use google.maps for getting out and in house, just click the public transportation button and you'll get a choice of all bus stations around the door. Bus connections are quite reliable...
Nice apartment very quiet but wayyyy to far to get back and forth to the City the train stop running at 10 so we where stuck until 5 am.
Sylwia was a great host, everthing as described in the offer and always there if you had questions concering the appartment or itineraries.
Good range of beautiful private rooms. Quick and easy booking. The room was exactly what the description was super nice.
Gutes Angebot an schönen privaten Zimmern. Schnelle und einfache Buchung. Das Zimmer entsprach genau der Beschreibung, war super schön.

text: I bought my truck back in April and fell in love with it. I have been contemplating for months now weather or not I should just drive it and leave it alone, or restore the frame and body since the engine is in great shape. I have not done a large project in years and maybe its time for a new one. New england has taken its toll on this truck, rust is rampant on the body and frame. But its nothing that cant be saved. So what better place to start a restoration then at the foundation..the frame. My frame is not terrible, its got alot of heavy surface rust deposits and pitting in a few places here and there, but overall the C-channel frame is in tact and has enough meat to last. I started off last night by removing the bed. 8 bolts (18mm) out all by hand. Couldn't use air tools because of neighbors. :sleep: To lift the bed I used 4 ratcheting straps. After the bed was off I got it down by lifting one end and letting my girlfriend release the straps then I lowered it to the floor by hand. Picture of my rig: Now im not sure how to attack this. I have some rust reformer that converts rust to primer, but i dont think it will work well for heavy deposits. So i got a coarse wire wheel for my angle grinder. Its working well, but slow going. In some places the metal is really weak, this is part of the cross member. I am considering dropping my fuel tank, maybe doing the fuel pump assembly here while the bed is off. Not to mention look at those lines! The aroma of gasoline can be detected whenever you walk by the tank. Maybe by doing so my fuel gauge may stop bouncing all over the place haha. More updates to come as I continue this battle. wish me luck!
