A new study shows that children who electronically pre-order their lunch are more likely to make healthier meal choices than students who pick and choose as they go through the cafeteria line.
For the study, which was published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, researchers from Cornell University looked at the choices made by 272 students from two schools in New York. The four-week study focused on students in grades 1 through 5. When the students pre-ordered their lunches, 29% were more likely to pick a healthier main course, compared to 15% when there was no pre-order option.
Researchers say that pre-ordering lunch can help prevent distractions like sights and smells from influencing kids' decisions and leading them to make unhealthy meal choices.
Jessica Donze Black, project director for The Pew Charitable Trusts Kids' Safe and Healthful Foods Project, says the overall food environment makes a big difference in the choices students make.
"It is not just what is in the meals, but what's in the rest of the school food environment," she says. "What's in the vending machine, what's in the school's store. It's important all those foods are also healthy."
Ongoing Changes
In January 2012 the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) revised school meal guidelines and required more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and stricter calorie limits.
The new guidelines were met with mixed reviews. Some children complained that the calorie limits didn't fill them up. In response, the USDA allowed the schools more freedom in determining meat and grain servings. But there's still debate about the restrictions.
Black says some of the most successful changes in lunchroom eating habits have been in schools that include students in the menu decision-making process. "Giving children an opportunity to taste-test allows them to provide feedback and an opportunity to show their preferences," she says.
Vegetarian Lunches
On April 30, Public School 244 in Queens, New York, became one of the first schools in the nation to adopt an all-vegetarian menu. It has been serving items like tofu wraps and vegetarian chili since going all-veggie earlier this year.
P.S. 244 has just over 400 students in pre-kindergarten through third grade. The school, which wanted to offer the children healthy food options, started serving a vegetarian lunch three times a week. Later in the year, they increased it to four times a week before making the switch to an all-vegetarian menu every day.
"We discovered early on that our kids were gravitating toward our vegetarian offerings," principal Robert Groff said. "And we kept expanding the program to meet the demand."
As researchers continue to pinpoint the most successful strategies for healthier students—and schools continue to introduce them—there's hope that children's weight and energy will reach healthy levels now and in the future.

Ok, right now a line feels like taking a breather. Plus, this is the Harbor Side line… The line for Ballroom 20, so there's a cool breeze, and in 20, 30 minutes, I'll have a nice view. I'll try to share.
It's hard to convey how hectic this can be. Especially trying to take photos and upload them and stuff. There are people EVERYWHERE. Every time you score a chair to sit in, it feels like a triumph.
I did a quick run through the floor earlier in order to get the lowdown. Swung through the DC Comics booth, picked up all their freebies…
I'm. In line about 4 hours before GoT. I know that will mean sitting through a panel or two beforehand, but that's cool. There's always the possibility of finding something you really like. That's how I discovered "Fringe", waiting for the True Blood panel two years ago.
Spielberg will be in the hizzy tomorrow. Shatner, unfortunately, will probably get bumped. I couldn't pass up Capt Kirk for an 80% chance of seeing Spielberg, but for a 100% chance? Beam me to Hall H Scotty.
Apparently picture uploads aren't working out here… I continue to do Mortal Combat with the evil WiFi.
Just text for now, worse comes to worst I'll do a massive photo dump at the hotel tonight. I'll definitely do a "Day in Review" post anyways…
Peace out for now. I'll post more if Ballroom 20 has a usable connection.

Teaching and Research
As a member of the UVM faculty for 28 years, I conduct research and teach classes in the areas of stratigraphy and sedimentology. My great interest is in the evolution of the Northern Appalachians, particularly how the rocks of this region record the history of ocean basin opening, closing, and the formation of mountains.
My classes range from the introductory level, "Introduction to Earth System Science" for geology majors and non-scientists alike, as well as the core course for Geology majors and minors, "Earth, Environments and Life Through Time." I also teach "Stratigraphy and Sedimentation" for advanced undergraduates and also frequently co-teach the regional geology summer field class.
I find great satisfaction in working with colleagues in Maine on rocks that record the collision of a volcanic arc with North America more than 350 million years ago, as well as with colleague Keith Klepeis on his research on the origin of the Andes Mountains in Southern Chile. Another passion is facilitating workshops for National Science Foundation-sponsored programs to improve undergraduate geoscience education. In 1993 I was so proud to receive the George V. Kidder award, the university's highest award for excellence in teaching.

Story highlights
- French acrobat family travel the world, perform on 12-meter yacht
- Dramatic show on water, described as "ballet in the rigging"
- Family survive on donations, sailing the globe on $800 a month
- Yacht is called La Loupiote, meaning "small light" in old French.
From the top of a 14-meter mast, Delphine Lechifflart expertly rolls down a length of white ribbon, her taut body pirouetting mid-air, before easing into the arms of her lover.
The two French acrobats continue to twirl and swoop, their flying silhouettes growing darker as the sun lowers in the sky behind them.
It's a sumptuous image that hushes the crowd who stand gathered, not under a circus big top, but on the banks of a jetty.
This, of course is no ordinary acrobatic show, but one performed entirely on a lurching 12-meter yacht in harbors across the world.
"They use the whole boat like it's one big gymnastics apparatus," said Dwight Jones, manager at Seattle's Elliott Bay Marina, which recently hosted the enchanting La Loupiote show.
"You couldn't ask for a more dramatic stage -- people can watch from the shore or take their own dinghy and see it from the water."
A family affair
For acrobat couple Lechifflart, 42, and Franck Rabilier, 44, their distinctive yellow yacht is not simply a stage -- it's also the floating home they share with two daughters; Loeva, 13, and Ondja, five.
"The eldest has done some shows with us, playing a puppet, but the youngest is still too small," said Rabilier.
"We're home-schooling them and at the beginning of each year they go back to France to do their exams."
Since setting sail from Brittany in north west France in 2004, the free-spirited family has traveled from port to port across the globe, performing their remarkable show and surviving on donations alone.
"They just pass a hat around at the end," Jones explained. "People can't believe they're seeing this fantastic performance for free -- it really generates a sense of generosity."
Show time
From rolling down the top of the mast, to balancing on the boom, and tiptoeing along the railing, the agile acrobats leap across every inch of the boat in two very different 20-minute routines.
The first is a slapstick Laurel and Hardy-style comedy, featuring two bumbling sailors racing around the yacht to a lolloping piano soundtrack.
As the sun sets, the couple perform their second, more romantic show, in which two lovers tenderly cavort mid-air to rousing classical music.
"In the romantic show, there's an orange-pinkish light behind them while they're doing this beautiful ballet in the rigging," Jones said.
"They perform the whole thing without a safety net. It's like nothing you've ever seen before -- people were coming back day-after-day to see them."
Setting sail
The daring duo began taking circus lessons while university students in Paris, and in 1999 set up their own acrobatic company called La Loupiote -- meaning "small light" in old French.
They performed in theaters and on the streets, but had dreams of taking the show on the road -- or more accurately, the high seas.
"We both sailed with our parents when we were young," Lechifflart explained. "That was our dream -- to travel the world by boat."
In 2000 they bought a half-built yacht and spent the next four years getting it into seaworthy shape.
Once on the water, the pair spent a year experimenting and refining their unique aquatic-based act.
"The first time we tried it, I had a lot of bruises," Lechifflart said. "It's so much more complicated than working on land."
"You have to work with the weather, the wind, the waves -- the boat is constantly moving."
The family's nomadic lifestyle has taken them across Europe, America, and now New Zealand, where they'll be performing over the next month.
And after that, who knows? The carefree couple tend to sail the high-seas in whichever direction they wish, surviving on around $800 a month.
"They're not living high on the hog, as they say, but they're loving what they're doing," Jones said.
"Their perspective on life is different from people working nine to five -- they don't know where they're going the next day and you've got to respect that."
And so, like the circus wagons of old, the family of acrobats will point their "small light" towards the horizon in search of the next high-flying adventure.

|Re: st: Deciding whether to add a filename extension
|Tue, 11 Oct 2005 16:19:39 +0100
Roger Newson (firstname.lastname@example.com) asked about file extensions
in Stata:
> ...
> What is the algorithm used by Stata to decide whether a filename already
> has an extension? And is it the same for all operating systems? I ask
> because my own program --listtex- can fail when given a filename without an

> fix this bug in a way that doesn't create other bugs in operating
> environments other than Windows 2000 (under which I use Stata 9.1).
> ...
In part of Roger's email which I omitted, he explained that -outfile-
assigns a default extension when none is specified while -file- does not.
Commands in Stata for which there is a default filetype will add
a default extension if necessary. Examples of such commands are
graph use
graph save
All such commands work with one main filetype and therefore they can
add a default extension when none is specified.
-file-, on the other hand, is a low-level programmer command. There
is no default kind of file which -file- reads and writes, and therefore
it is up to the programmer to specify an extension. One user might
use -file- with .txt files while another user might use -file- with
.dta files.
Stata determines whether or not a file has an extension in the same
way across all operating systems. It starts at the beginning of
the filename and looks forward for a period. If one is found,
then Stata determines the file has an extension and will not add

White Blood Cells Transfer Mouse's Resistance to
The accidental discovery three years ago of a mouse that is immune
to cancer was startling by itself. Now the scientists who originally
identified that animal and bred others from it (dubbed
"spontaneous regression/complete resistance" or SR/CR
mice) have successfully transferred that resistance to normal mice
by infusing them with white blood cells from the SR/CR strain. The
treated mice retain cancer resistance for long periods by a
mechanism that still remains unknown.

Lessons Pay Off for Meerkat Pups
Zoologists have discovered that adult meerkats, small South African
members of the mongoose family, teach their pups how to eat
dangerous animals. When the offspring are quite small, adults bring
them dead animals (such as scorpions, lizards and spiders) on which
to practice. Then, as the pups get older, they are given disabled
prey. An adult might, for example, bite off the stinger of a
scorpion before presenting it to a pup. Eventually, the juvenile
graduates to handling normal, live prey. In tests, young meerkats
that gained experience wrangling scorpions in this way are more
capable than those that had practiced only on dead scorpions or
boiled eggs, which were used as a control.

Protein Enhances Transfer of Pluripotency
Stem cells are said to be "pluripotent": They can develop
into any type of tissue in the body and thus hold great promise in
treating spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease and other chronic
disorders. But obtaining embryonic stem cells requires the
destruction of human embryos, so research in this area raises
serious ethical concerns. New work identifies a protein (called
Nanog) that promotes the creation of pluripotent cells from the
fusion of a stem cell with a more specialized adult cell, such as a
neuron. This line of research may one day lead to methods that allow
adult cells to be converted to a pluripotent state without the use
of stem cells at all.

Anti-Allergy Drug Fights Malaria
Tests in mice reveal that astemizole, a drug developed to treat
allergies, kills the malaria parasite with high efficacy. Astemizole
is already licensed for use in people, so it could be rapidly
approved for use against malaria. And because the drug is no longer
under patent, the cost could be kept low.

Earliest Cultivar May Be the Fig
Near the city of Jericho in the West Bank, a team of two
archaeobotanists and an archaeologist have discovered what may be
the earliest traces of human agriculture. The charred remains of
nine small figs, found in the ruins of a burned building, are
estimated to be 11,400 years old. This variety of fig probably bore
sweet fruit but no fertile seeds, and thus it could have survived
only through artificial cultivation. Wheat, barley and chickpeas had
previously been thought to be the first crops, but these figs
predate those examples of early agriculture by a millennium.

Tiny Black Holes May Pervade Space
Most people think of black holes as supermassive objects, the
remnants of collapsed stars whose powerful gravity devours all
nearby matter. But some theories suggest that these strange objects
may be much more common—and much closer to home—than had
been thought. The solar system, for example, may contain 3,000 to
300,000 of these objects at a given time, some of them floating
inside the orbit of Mars. New work suggests that such objects would
produce interference fringes in the energy spectra of gamma-ray
bursts, a prediction that soon should be able to be tested.

Split Between Human and Chimp Lineages Was
New genetic analyses indicate that the final split between the
earliest humans and chimpanzees occurred at most 6.3 million years
ago and probably less than 5.4 million years ago. To reconcile this
result with fossil evidence (which puts the time of divergence at
least a million years earlier), scientists suggest that early
hominids and chimps must have interbred for some period of time
before a final split occurred.

Avian Flu Entered Nigeria Thrice
In February, health officials reported an outbreak of avian flu at a
large farm in southwest Nigeria where chickens, geese and ostriches
were being raised. The virus also turned up at two other places in
that country. Molecular biologists have now compared genetic
information obtained in all three locations and determined that the
outbreaks stemmed from three distinct viral strains, ones
genetically similar to those discovered in earlier outbreaks in
Egypt, Russia and Mongolia.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by monrams99, Jan 27, 2010.
NIce. Who is operating the cannon; Tay or Joe?
Doesn't matter, because the cannon's broken and Arnie still hasn't fixed it yet. PS: Very nice avatar webz.
As Webz posted on the "make your trades thread" Arizona has a spot in their local rag about the possibility of Gordon & Wilcox to Philly and Iggy to the Sun... with the Pistons picking up Amare. This is the kind of makes sense in that it frees up Stuckey to play more off the ball... then you move Rip later for an expiring (good SGs are easy to find).
or.... you can say that Darko drafted by the right team could have been motivated to play to his skills (which i still think he has... if you forget his 10 cent brain) and anthony would have rotted and gotten a bad head sitting on the bench, don't forgot how brown treated the boy in the olympics.... Hindsight is sooooo easy to make the right decisions, everybody said Darko was the 2nd pick in the draft and might have been thought of as a number one pick if it hadn't been for a little known King coming out for the draft that year. And for all the fans of Larry Brown, how many championships has he won without Joe Dumars?
How many championships has Dumars won, as a GM, without Larry Brown?
Doesn't matter. Critics were proven to be right in that we were a one and done team.
Silvertongue from his Q and A mailbag in short, you need tons of luck, good timing and attractive city.
Let's see: Tons of luck - Darko Attractive City: Detroit, I hope we have timing on our side.
Quick scan of the Bucks contracts... they have NO PFs signed for next year... several expirings or near expirings on the books. Possible opportunity for Joe and Hammand to work out something for Jmax.
There's a few players who may be on the radar that would be hard to trade for due to their BYC status (we don't have the cap flexibility or trade exceptions available) Danny Granger Marvin Williams Marcin Gortat Andrew Bogut Chris Paul Deron Williams Andrew Bynum Raymond Felton Glen Davis Paul Millsap David Lee
I like some of those guys.
No doubt. Still hearing Paul's name floating around. I don't know if its just a big tease but if they don't want to pay him then I am sure he would fit in pretty nicely over here.
I don't see NO letting him go unless it's a spectacular deal. Not only is he their entire franchise; He's got favorite-son status in the New Orleans community. I can only imagine the fan backlash for that franchise if they were to ship him outta town. Plus Paul's BYC status means that they would likely hang on to him until after July 1st. The only thing that I could think of would be either a three team deal or a scenario where Joe picks for NO in the lottery this year and sends "that guy" + Jeb & Tay to the Hornets for CP3. Could Joe do that? Would Joe (or you guys) do that?
please, man. why all those trade scenario threads tend tu turn into absurdity?
The forum is a place to share ideas and thoughts on the team. It seems you don't like the trade threads, any thread that talks about any players on the team and their development or lack there of, any article written by Lang. or any other writer for that matter. What do you expect to see when you log on here???

Wojciech Szczesny believes a positive result in Marseille on Wednesday night can boost Arsenal's chances in the Premier League.
Arsenal travel to France as they look to extend their impressive run of form in the Champions League this season but they face a tough test - Marseille have won both of their opening two Group F fixtures, including a 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund at Stade Veledrome.
Szczesny is bracing himself for a serious contest and he thinks an away win could have a knock-on effect.
"It is a great game for us and if we can get the three points it will give us a massive confidence boost to help us climb the table in the Premier League," the Polish international said.
"It's going to be very important - we realise how big the Champions League is.
"We want to be in this competition and stay in it as long as we can - the Champions League matches are the best. You just love playing in this competition."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Cox Bay Beach Resort • Tofino, Canada
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a One-Bedroom Beach House Suite between Now and March 15, 2013 ($99)

The Destination
Tofino, at the northern tip of Vancouver Island, draws hundreds of thousands—if not a million—tourists each year. It's that beautiful. But most months, this town of about 1,500 residents is a haven for peace seekers, a place where shopkeepers keep loose hours and surfers keep long ones. Perhaps that's why Outside Magazine named it North America's best surf town in 2010. It doesn't hurt, either, that Pacific Rim National Park, with its pristine old-growth forests and boulder-strewn beaches, sits just outside of town.
The Digs
Fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens, and private patios are enough to make the accommodations at the boutique Cox Bay Beach Resort sound like heaven. Add to that their oceanfront location, and you've got a Vancouver Island dream vacation. In the morning, brew a pot of coffee, then head for the living room, which is equipped with a queen-size sofa bed, a TV with DVD and CD player, and an iPod dock. You'll also have access to a fitness facility with a meditation and yoga room; a sauna and outdoor hot tub; a lounge outfitted with a local San Juan stone Rumford wood-burning fireplace; and a library of books, magazines, and board games.
The Diversions
• Make the hike to Hot Springs Cove for a soak in the thermal waters
• The Pacific Rim Whale Festival is held this year between March 16 and 24
• The Schooner Restaurant has been dishing out the area's best seafood for decades
"The resort is so pretty and the rooms are super comfortable. With direct access to the beach, an outdoor hot tub, and a friendly staff, the resort has it all. We came away feeling very refreshed and would love to visit again in the summer."-- TripAdvisor

The Government has given $150,000 towards the Hairy Maclary waterfront sculpture in Tauranga.
Local MP Simon Bridges announced yesterday the Ministry of Economic Development Tourism Facilities Grant Programme was providing the money towards the installation of the bronze sculpture of Hairy Maclary and his friends.
Hairy Maclary is a much-loved pooch and literary character created by Tauranga author Dame Lynley Dodd, who was "delighted" at the news.
"It's a marvellous vote of confidence and it's a great thrill really that they decided it was something they would support," Dame Lynley told the Bay of Plenty Times.
"It's a bit strange for me to think of them immortalised in bronze. It's a matter of getting them to a point where the children will be able to recognise them, because it will be for them and their families."
Creative Tauranga chief executive Tracey Rudduck-Gudsell, who has headed the project, said the news was a wonderful "seal of approval".
Ms Rudduck-Gudsell was pleased things were now "full-steam ahead" with the sculptor Brigitte Wuest beginning her work this week.
The project had been well received so far and it was hoped Hairy Maclary would help put Tauranga on the international map, Ms Rudduck-Gudsell said.
"We are looking at it being as big for New Zealand as Beatrix Potter was for The Lakes in the UK, and how Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit have really helped Matamata. Imagine what that would do for Tauranga."
Creative Tauranga and other organisations have invited the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall to unveil the completed sculpture while on their trip to New Zealand this year.
Mr Bridges believed the sculpture would be a strong drawcard that would bring local families as well as national and international tourists to Tauranga's city centre.
"Associate Tourism Minister Chris Tremain and I visited the proposed site and met with Creative Tauranga in March," Mr Bridges said.
"He was very impressed with the project and I am delighted the Tourism Facilities Grants bid has been successful."
Mr Bridges said the sculpture had "truly been a community project".
"The grant recognises the work of Dame Lynley Dodd and the impact of her literary characters on residents of Tauranga, as well as national and international visitors to the city."

CHSRA Land Grab SCAM, now passed through Assembly
Original post made by Parent, Charleston Gardens, on Aug 10, 2013
So, any guesses where this might be a lucrative scheme for CHSRA? Don't worry Palo Alto, it would probably only directly effect those places where real estate values are the highest, and likely to be wildly profitable for CHSRA...
Morris Brown provided this info:
"A copy of a letter sent by Assemblymen Patterson and Bigelow requesting an audit of the Land Acquisition activities of the CHSRA can be viewed at"
Web Link
From this letter, Point 8 reads:
"The Authority is sponsoring AB 481 (Lowenthal), which will enable it to generate revenuefrom the sale or lease of acquired land that is not needed for high-speed rail purposes. Howmuch "nonoperating" land does the Authority project it will acquire? Is this projectionreasonable and necessary? For what purposes does the Authority plan to lease this land, andhow much revenue does it expect to generate?"
Of course, this audit request will undoubtedly be denied because these are republican Assemblymen and the legislature is completely controlled by democrats that can't love the CHSRA HSR/Big developer/Big union land grab scheme enough.
More info on AB481, already passed in the Assembly:
Web Link
Hopefully those of you concerned by this tactic will write to the Democratic legislator(s) that you voted in last time, to let them know you don't support this SCAM.

Add to that this insult to CA's environmental laws....
"SACRAMENTO -- California's high-speed rail project is no longer subject to the state's rigorous environmental laws after a federal transportation board ruled that it has oversight of the project, the state attorney general's office argues in a brief filed Friday. "

I can't figure out how this became a Republican / Democrat issue. Governor Brown is heading up the effort at relaxing the environmental laws with the approval of the California Senate which is headed up by a Democrat. A land grab is a land grab no matter who is doing it. No one can gain from this except the people that are actually managing the land grab. So zero in on who is responsible for overseeing this and it will become clear what is behind it. I am thinking that there is oil under the land that can be obtained by fracking? Or some other
value that is not obvious at this time? I believe that the land is not useful for farming due to high mineral content. There is another section in the forum in which ABAG is being explained. Those two articles need to be connected to figure out the full story. There is an attempt to "regionalize" the discussions so the pieces are not connected.

Member, There's a very good reason why they are insisting that HSR MUST run directly through the middle of the most high value real estate in the Peninsula (or for that matter, through the entire state). This may or may not be an issue for the Central valley farmland, doubtful they have much incentive to overbuy there - but the HSR is coming to a neighborhood near you soon enough. Perhaps think about the value of real estate a little closer to home...
Makes alot of sense now why they refused an Altamont pass to I5 route - there's hardly any developer/union profits there to be had in real estate development...
And of course, there's a very good reason they finally put the SF to SJ section last on the list. It take this kind of crap off the radar of the residents of the Bay Area until its MUCH too late. SF to PA was just way too involved in the details and became very cumbersome for CHSRA to move about their business below the radar.
You are absolutely correct about the connection to the ABAG (mandated development) story line and this one. Its important to look at who is behind this kind of governmental power grab. I frankly don't care who it is - demo or repub - whoever it is needs to be stopped.

[Portion removed.] Every major country in the world is building infrastructure to compete in the future. There are at least 15 industrialized countries with more HSR than the US. Look at China, the #1 competitor for the US in almost all areas.
China is building 16,000 miles of HSR on top of what they already have. Some folk posting here think we can not do anything as well as China.
Most Americans think we can do better. I do. [Portion removed.]
Just remember that as you read the loud protests from a vocal few on this board (the anonymous few.)

So easy to lob name calling slights like "horse and buggy" or NIMBY while,conveniently ignoring the completely out of control costs of construction and operation. Also ignoring that the funding model is highly flawed ($0 private investment to-date) and that revenue forecast is entirely without realistic data.
Nothing against HSR. Totally against any project that will cost the taxpayers billions of dollars with no hope of paying its debts, let alone come close to breaking even.
a resident of Charleston Gardens
on Aug 11, 2013 at 1:43 pm
Robert, that certainly is one of the favorite flawed logic rhetorical arguments trotted out by the HSR proponents. Something like... Dad, all my friends have their tongues pierced...
There are lots of things China does that US doesn't do. You suggest we should do whatever China is doing eh?
And yet, through all of your nonsense, you don't explain why 15 other countries including China having HSR explains why US Citizens should allow the CHSRA to seize property they don't need for building HSR, and turn around and sell that extra property or lease it for profit - for government revenue. Without any oversight on their property seizing activities.
Oh, I see, you ARE suggesting we do things just like China does.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Aug 11, 2013 at 1:52 pm
Let alone that China HSR is a 100% communist government funded program and has absolutely no accountability in terms of covering both building and operating costs through fares/revenues.

You guys sound like Russell Long or perhaps the libertarians that were against the interstate highway system: "a public-works, government-owned boondoggle that was modeled after the National Socialist autobahn system in Germany."
After all, Ike's baby was based on Roosevelt's (eek! FDR the socialist!) Federal-Aid Highway Act of '38, and later, 1944.
How's that? Nazi's and socialists in the same post - a Double Godwin Winner!
Opposition to the interstate highway system from the horse and buggy crowd? Of course. Here's a comment about the precursor to the interstates: "The president's political opponents considered the "master plan" to be 'another ascent into the stratosphere of New Deal jitterbug economics,' as one critic put it."
Just the same ol' fifty years latter about HSR, from the same mindset that would have sunk America in the 50's.
China and leading industrial nations are forsaking austerity and building infrastructure to be more competitive for decades to come. Your kids and grandkids depend on us to make the proper choice - rebuild America to stay competitive. It was the American spirit in the 40's and 50's, making core investments that lead to the America boom in the last half of the century.
Keep the American spirit alive, rebuild now for our grandkids to thrive.
Say no to the austerity types, the naysayers. Americans can do it. Create jobs now and in the future!

Number 16, more of the same non answer., utterly irrelevent rambling. And yet still no defense of AB481.
Still not OK to pass new laws that increase the power for CHSRA to seize more private property than they need, frankly any property they fancy - without oversight, and then turn it over for profit, in order to create a new government revenue stream. Here's a news flash - its not THEIR PROFIT to make,
Frankly, I don't care much about the history of what occurred under FDR, Nazi's, Socialists, horse and buggy crowd, or whatever other bizarre crap you're rambling on about - the labels and references you're throwing around are meaningless drivel and have no bearing on what's going on now. What matters is happening now, here, and the ABUSES of the LAW that are occuring now, which are threatening our cities, our properties, our rights. [Portion removed.]

Parent: Sorry you didn't see the parallels with the horse and buggy crowd that whined about the interstate highway system, try reading it again. With the goggles off.
To shorten my point: HSR is a good idea, it passed. I am so tired of the near constant petty whining and bickering about it, how literally every aspect has some element that is the end of the world to you folks. It's like the boy who cried wolf. I quit reading the noise from the anti-HSR side awhile ago because it's near constant - everything is a massive government conspiracy, everything is a giant union power grab, everything is corrupt politicians, everything all the time. Signs on lawns 2 miles away from the tracks saying it's going to ruin the neighborhood. On and on.
I read the antiHSR posts early on, and didn't necessarily disagree, but it just went on and on. Of course, to question just gets you blasted! The screeds about being a neophyte, a political stooge, or a union thug, or whatever, just got old.
You guys might as well be putting it in ALL CAPS ITS SO TERRIBLE THE WHOLE THING OMIGAWD THE WORLD IS ENDING QUICK RUN AND HIDE BY THE WAY WHY CANT YOU READ THIS ARE YOU LISTENING YET - ISNT A CONSTANT RANT REALLY ANNOYING - HOW ABOUT WHEN WE DO ALL CAPS - RUN AWAY HSR WILL MAKE US COMMUNISTS HSR WILL STEAL FROM YOU HSR WILL STEAL FROM OUR KIDS ARE YOU STILL READING RUN FOR YOUR LIVES.
See? Actually wasn't mocking you, but that's what a lot of people see, if they even look at HSR threads any more. That goes double for the lefties on their issues as well. Just thought you guys would have learned. Constant screaming just becomes noise.
Example: Noticed any Occupy protests lately?

Number 16, so I take it you actually then have no defense of AB481, and/or no interest in defending it - other than you are tired of the conversation and have nothing more to add.
(In case you didn't catch it, AB481 is a brand NEW development, a new law sponsored by the CHSRA to increase their power to seize private property for non HSR purposes, and turn it over for profit. Without oversight.
If that severe overstepping of our rights, and the potential for abuse of their power to sieze property in your town(?) is not of interest to you, boring and ho hum, and sounds like nothing more than more of same ole same ole, there are several other threads available on Palo Alto online you might want to check out.

Yup. About what was expected. Completely over the head. A swing and a miss. What should one expect from a bunch of anonymous posters?
The horse and buggy set would have used all caps if they could have when they were screaming that the interstates were "a public-works, government-owned boondoggle that was modeled after the National Socialist autobahn system in Germany."

B Whitaker: some of us were able to read and get your point without taking offense. I too, have seen yard signs (in San Mateo) a couple miles form the tracks claiming the neighborhood would dissolve or disintegrate or something when HSR happens. The shrillness does get old. Also - great quote from the opposition to the interstates as a comparison. No one wants to see themselves in that. They won't. As you said - it's the goggles.

Today's SF Chronicle has article on Elon Musk's idea of a capsule like vehicle called Hyperloop that rides on air and is on a platform over existing highways - like I-5. It would take 0.5 hour to go from SF to LA and not be on the ground as a danger to other traffic. I can get on board for that. The best part is that the existing highways, as well as AMTRAK rails are already dedicated property. HSR is running into a road block because it is trying to ride outside of existing transportation routes. The huge budget assigned is in part for the purchase of the land. I could have gotten on-board with HSR if they started with the Capital Corridor using existing land rights and logical point-to-point destinations. Current plan makes no sense and budget is to buy land - in part. The legal battles over the land alone will increase the cost beyond current projections.

Carl Jenkinson's first England call-up will do wonders for his belief, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal defender will join Roy Hodgson's squad for their friendly against Sweden in Stockholm next Wednesday - provided he receives clearance from FIFA.
Jenkinson has long been tipped for international honours and Wenger is delighted for the 20-year-old.
"I am happy that his potential has been acknowledged by Roy Hodgson, so that is good news," said Wenger.
"Carl is a guy with massive potential and I believe the positive of that is it will improve his belief, and that is very important for him in my opinion."
- Wenger was speaking at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where the Club opened a Lung Function Unit - a legacy from Arsenal's partnership with GOSH during the 2009/10 season

You'd expect it to be loud. And you'd expect J Mascis to be grumpy. After all, Dinosaur Jr are famous for their tinnitus-inducing noise levels and the aloof attitude of their front man.
But what you don't expect at a Dinosaur Jr live show is for the Massachusetts-based grunge-rock icons to be as cruisy and relaxed as they were at last night's Powerstation gig in Auckland.
Yes, Mascis was a typically silent presence, uttering just three words to the near sell-out crowd as he stood solemnly in front of a giant stack of Marshall amps, delivering riff after riff and solo after solo over his slacker monotone.
But Dinosaur Jr - Mascis, bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph - are known for their tense and at times hostile relationships, which could often be seen on stage and got so strained they took an eight-year break in the late '90s before regrouping in 2005.
So you can't blame the trio, who are nearing the 30-year mark as a band, for relaxing a little by playing plenty of material from last year's excellent tenth album, I Bet on Sky - a sun-kissed record perfect for summer road trips.
That included the down home acoustics of Almost Fare, the rumbling melancholy of recent single Watch the Corners and the jangly Don't Pretend You Didn't Know, which ended up being one of the night's most upbeat songs.
They were tempered by older tracks that provided a hair-raising trip down memory lane, like MTV's favourite slacker anthem Freak Scene and the gigantic grooves and hilarious Mascis falsettos on Start Choppin'.
And if you're a fan of the band's rawer late 80's/early 90's output, there was plenty of their sludgy stoner rock delivered over walls of feedback, like the bruising early version of The Wagon and the unhinged rawk that came with Feel the Pain - a song that had small moshpits breaking out around the venue.
Then there was the scintillating encore and set highlight that began with a cover of The Cure's Just Like Heaven before morphing into killer 1987 track Sludgefest - a song which owned its name by ending in a raucous flurry of noise.
It was a rough, rugged and raw set that proved these dinosaurs are still a long way off from moving into the grunge retirement home.
What: Dinosaur Jr
Where: Powerstation, Auckland
When: Tuesday, March 5

text: The Mini Driver started with the original Driver. The initial adjustments incorporated a fast, low nose rocker with a forward placed outline, both of which added drive. After adding a rounded tail for control, but with additional width at 12" up from the tail, the Mini Driver emerged. The clean and elliptical outline moved freely on the face and inside the tube, which is true to Kolohe's challenge when we started on the design. We were soon surprised by how well it performed in smaller everyday surf. The Mini Driver has quickly been recognized as one of the most versatile designs we�ve ever done.

Week 5: Rams stay unbeaten
Conference Action Heats Up
Week 5 brought us the first night of conference action for most of our area teams.
Washington at Jacksonville
In Jacksonville the Cardinals hosted Washington in a matchup of 3-1 teams.
Jacksonville has already won two games by a score of 7-6 this year.
Washington's only loss was to unbeaten Tarboro.
Something had to give and it was the Jacksonville defense.
On their first drive the Pam Pack hit a long TD pass to take a 7-0 lead.
By the midway point of the second quarter they had a 21-0 lead.
The second half went by quickly as Washington was happy to run out the clock and Jacksonville could not keep the ball for long drives.
A blocked field goal put the capper on it and the Pam Pack wins big 35-0.
Havelock at White Oak
The Rams continued to show their offensive power by getting out to a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter over the Vikings.
Taylor Woods had a rushing TD in the first quarter and Pharoh Cooper hit A.J. Coplon for an 83 yard TD to make it 21-0 on the way to a 48-7 win and a 4-1 record.
Croatan at Swansboro
A scoreless game through three quarters turned into a thriller in the "Friendly City By The Sea".
Chris Martin had a TD carry to open up the scoring for Swansboro to make it 6-0.
Then Kyle Hopewell would throw a pass to Beau Bryan to set up a Mitchell Smith touchdown.
Smith would have both TD's for the Cougars and they would win it in overtime by a final score of 14-13.
Northside-JAX at Topsail
Dwayne Johnson scored two TD's in the first half to pace the Monarchs to a 35-10 victory over Topsail to complete the first half of the season undefeated.
West Carteret at South Central
Jared Carr was able to lead his team through the South Central defense and a power outage to secure a 26-7 victory to take the Patriots to 4-1 at the midway point of their season.
DH Conley at West Craven
DH Conley had no problem with the Eagles as they cruised to a 39-8 win to stay undefeated.
SW Edgecombe at Kinston
Kinston trying to bounce back from a tough loss at Havelock last week by hosting SW Edgecombe.
The Cougars would recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff to set the tone.
A QB sneak would give them an early 6-0 lead.
VeQuain Joyner hit Denzel Keys for a 40 yard TD but Kinston would end up falling short in a high scoring affair.
Southwest takes it 56-49.
Pamlico at Ayden-Grifton
Tyree Blount had 4 TD's in a big win for the Chargers over Pamlico 38-6.

we are getting ready to start beekeeping in the spring & we have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. Trying to decide how much protection they need. My husband is inclined to just get them veils and gloves and light colored sweat suits. I am leaning towards full bee suits as I will feel bad when they get stung Any advice out there? I want them to be comfortable and have a positive experience, but we are on a budget. Did you buy a full beesuit and feel that it was worth the money for your child's experience? Does anyone know of anyone selling used children's bee suits?
I also am having trouble finding a child's size hat/veil only--I only seem to be able to locate the jackets with hat and full size suits.
Thanks again!

From the Left Hand Corner: Political Campaign Refund revisited
One of the minor things the Legislature did this past session is a good, small step in financing our political campaigns.
The Legislature reinstated and funded our pre-existing Political Campaign Refund (PCR) procedure. While some of us argue for a lot more in the way of public financing of major elected office campaigns, and some countries totally fund campaigns, we are not at such a point in this country at present or, likely, in the near future.
Our state PCR program is a small step in a good direction. It is scheduled to be re-enacted as of July.
Basically, what it provides is that an individual voter can contribute up to $50 in any given year to the political party of his or her choice, partisan political state or local candidate of their choice, and be reimbursed. The individual must have the donation validated and submit documentation to the state, and usually within a month or two will receive the reimbursement.
It is as simple as it is effective.
More important, the reimbursement feature constitutes one small, small step in reducing the pervasive influence of big money on our political scene.
One of the beneficial factors is that it encourages participation in the political selection process, beyond the usual and somewhat one-sided bombardment of moneyed advertising. Also, everyone likes to experience those rare occasions when they feel that they can get something for nothing, and this program provides that opportunity to the individual participant.
The program instills interest in the political process in a positive way that is quite definitely grassroots-oriented. Basically, with minimal hoop jumping, it hands the individual $50 to spend on the candidate or party of his or her choice.
It is true that it requires the accumulation and spending of the dollars before repayment. That can be a real barrier for those who need every dollar to keep going. but the provision doesn't require a whole $50 at any one time. It applies to lesser amounts for the year, and the individual can make smaller contributions through the year and still be reimbursed.
The refund provision enhances interest and participation because many who otherwise would not, or simply could not do so, become contributors. In the process, they generally want to make that precious donation dollar have maximum impact in keeping with their political opinion or philosophy, whatever that might be. Consequently, they are likely to do some comparison shopping before they actually kick in with their 50 bucks, or share thereof.
It encourages those who become sufficiently motivated to participate, to take a critical look at the appeals presented by the multiple choices competing for contribution.
A followup result is that individuals who are induced to participate in the rebate process end up feeling that they are invested in the result of the contest they contributed to.
Another positive side effect to the refund program is that it improves political campaigning in general, particularly at the local level. Obviously, $50 donations are of more significance in local campaigns, to the candidates, whether Republican or Democrat.
But such candidates are also cognizant that potential constituent participants are subject to whoever makes the best case for their dollars. Each candidate will have to convince the individual that his or her request for funds is most appealing.
Whether the competition is from other local candidates, statewide candidates or political party units, the individual can only spend the reimbursed $50 one time in the calendar year.
Overall, this writer is of the view that the more people involved in the political process, whatever their party or persuasion, the better governmental result. This small persuasion toward participation increases the number of people involved.
So far as I know, this refund program is fairly unique to Minnesota. At least acquaintances from neighboring states indicate they are unaware of any such process. Most Minnesotans probably haven't heard much about it, either.
No doubt some DFLers will question why this incorrigible old DFLer presents the PCR refund provision in a positive light in this conservative area. Others will ask, why did they bother to reinstate it?
That is because the history of the provision. When it was previously in place, it generated more dollars to the Republican Party than to the DFL. Simply, Republicans did a better job of selling the program and persuading their members and others likeminded to take advantage of the reimbursement feature. So be it.
Regardless of how it was utilized or experienced in the past, the above observations stand. Even from a strictly partisan viewpoint, to the extent it helps elect any Republican officeholder, I'd rather have that person be a Republican who was elected with the financial backing from local, like-minded folks than one bought and sold by the Koch brothers or some billionaire from Las Vegas.

Dutch abbreviation for a festival with artists you've never heard of, and you'll probably never hear of again. It doesn't look like a festival 'cause there are no hippies, not tents and LCD Soundsystem is not on the bill and there are no glow in the dark sticks but they actually say it still is a festival. Just like they say that Tilburg is a city.

You don't bring any money because he's obviously paying.
drive to ATM, get money out, go get change, then drive all the way back across town to leave a couple extra bucks
have moved to 20% already?
I usually take a "restroom" break and talk discreetly with my waiter, briefly explain the situation that I've been a waiter, my Father is a shitty tipper, so here's a few extra bucks to make up for the crap tip he's going to leave
quote:My standard is 20%. Or around that anyway. I always round up on my tickets anyway. Like if it is a 55 dollar tab, I'm probably just writing 70 on the ticket. Obviously, 15 bucks is more than 20%, but we are talking about 2-3 dollars here and that isn't going to break me. Unlike my mother who pulls a calculator out at every meal.
I don't think we have moved to a standard 20%.
, I always knew to bring cash and drop it on the table when leaving.
Deserve an arse whipping for trying to tell your grandfather how to spend HIS money when HE is paying.
You worried about the tip? Then you need to pay or split the bill.
I like this answer, I have been in same situation, pawpaw thought $5 was plenty tip regardless of how much the bill was, I also have enough respect for him to let him tip how he choose when he was paying, he never tried to tell me I tipped too much when I paid, to each his own, just let it go

This could be a big setup for Microsoft if we get the xbox one for a good price, seen pre orders at £399.99, at that its a bit much but if you can get a good bundle deal at lunch then it could work out for everyone
With no back catalogue to play it could mean a slow start, will it also mean MS keeping the 360 in production to prevent peoples old games being coasters or as older models get the rrod in their old age.
Would I use this new model as bluray player, well probably not. Having experienced a rrod recently on my original white 360 I wouldn't want to push my luck by using this as a player even with a long warranty. It was an utter pita to get my saves transferred over to my new slim line one.
And regards the rrod of the 360 any details on what warranty they'll be offering on this?
The elephant in the room is still MS charging for online gaming when the PS3 and 4 will remain free.
I'm staying away from any gaming console that detects my heartbeat or those of my guests.
Actually, Sony has stated that online play for the PS4 will require a PS+ subscription, but you won't need a + subscription to watch your streaming movies online. I've been a + subscriber since the service launched, so I can say that the service has slowly eveolved into a very worhtwhile one. Initially all I got were a couple of crap games, early betas, Qore episodes and not much else. Now I have a ton of games from their instant game collection.
Oh, and PS+ subscribers get Drive Club at launch. That's pretty sweet if you like racers.
I wonder if Microsoft has it right with the Xbox One. I agree that the PS4 appears to be a better console for the gamer and being an Xbox 360 user (although previously an avid PS1 and PS2 user) I am seriously torn between which console to get.
Despite all that though, there are a lot more consumers who are after that all in one home entertainment system than there probably are hardcore gamers. Look at how popular Smart TV's and streaming services have become.
I suppose what I mean is they might lose the "console" war but win the one for the living room!
was it abnormally cold? was there a feeling of creeping evil?
Just imagine what the NSA could do with your heartbeat information!
PS+ is just not in the same league as XBOX Live! and will never be able to compete, XBOX Live has evolved into a 300,000.00 server monster of an experience, this is servers we are talking and the MS servers are dedicated number crunchers that if utilised right by developers will add so much to the end user experience, Games could have multiple paths as could Thriller movies etc
I admit that ps4 has a better design but xbox one have better games and more specs
In addition the Xbox One eliminates AI in games. It uses the cloud to remember how you play. When you are offline, your player plays games while you are away and report how you did virtually when you were away. It learns new patterns as you get better as well. You will NEVER play against a computer again. Can PS4 do that?
Lets break it down. If you want the latest and greatest technology and can afford to use an HDTV Broadband Internet and a budget to purchase virtual content the Xbox One is the best. If you want a good console without the bells and whistles and you are on a budget, you should get the PS4. I hope this helps all you people in video game land.
My main complaints with X1 are simple but crucial. If Microsoft came to me and said i have the option of an X1 with Kinect and the DVR bs or an X1 with the same hardware capabilities of the PS4 for the same price, god knows i'd choose the better hardware. Kinect is a large, ugly, useless chunk of plastic that is insanely priced at a 100$ and is forced upon the consumer. The DVR feature, nothing but a useless gimmick that most people won't use and nobody will need anyways. The X1 is large, very large and heavy, same can be said for the very large power brick that comes with this behemoth. Things like entertainment apps and most console features are locked behind a 60$ pay wall. Things like fucking Netflix that i'm already paying for. And when you compare the cameras, yes the kinect is of better quality as it can record 1080p/30fps video, which is great. BUT the PS eye is 40$ cheaper, smaller/lighter and flexible due to its smaller size, and comes equipped with not 1 but 2 camera lenses. This adds for a much larger field of view, which for a piece of hardware that promotes getting up and moving around, is crucial for its success. Xbox Live pales in comparison when compared to PSN+. It's 10 bucks cheaper and is spread across 3 platforms, not just the PS4. It offers you free games for all 3, every week on top of discounts, themes, avatars, exclusive betas/demos/trials and early releases of dlc's and games. Its value is unquestionable and nothing but online gaming and the features i just said are locked behind a pay wall. But for some games, like the F2P games, it wont be. And finally, the controllers. As much as i loved my 360 controller, the X1 falls short when compared to the PS4 controller. I personally enjoy the DS4 controller more, due to its ergonomic design and matted grip, but that is all preference. My opinion on how the controller feels means nothing to another person as it is only my opinion, but there is something we can compare. Controller features. What the X1 controller fails to do is bring anything new to the table. It looks similar to the 360 controller (note the X1 controller is a slightly sleeker and lighter) and feels similar, which is a good thing, but thats about it. Microsoft has added a new rumble mechanism that adds better feed back to the triggers which is great for racing games and shooters, but i found it was more of a distraction than anything and will probably eat away at your controllers battery life fast. Other than that, nothing new has been added. But when you look at the DS4, many things are there that weren't there in the previous gen. Sony has added much better triggers, tighter, better gripped and designed analogue sticks and a slightly improved D-pad. The stick and triggers are greatly improved. The analogue sticks sport a concave design, similar to the 360 controller, with smaller, rubber gripped sticks placed slightly farther apart for better handling. There is no dead zone, which is probably the best improvement. The triggers fell great and very responsive. The D-pad is also a little better. These are all great, but nothing Xbox gamers haven't already been enjoying (except for the d-pad, its still pretty terrible on the X1), whats new are the features. Well before we dive into the features, lets take a look at the specifications. The controller weighs about 3 ounces, which is slightly heavier than the PS3 controller, which will feel nicer. The controller is also slightly larger, which is a great improvement. Especially for adult gamers who are tired of the cheap, SMALL piece of plastic that is the DS3. The controller has a nice matted grip at the bottom which will also feel nice. The controller has a nice, well placed clickable, multi-touch pad for RTS games and web browsing (among other things), it comes with a share button which will make sharing clips and screenshots of games a lot quicker. The controller also has a PlayStation move light at the top of the controller. Which will be great for game feedback, controller recognition and over all use in motion games (note: most of these features will be lost without the ps eye camera, something i still will not be getting). The controller also has a mono-speaker in the bottom middle of the controller. This will make games more immersive, providing sound feedback such as a bullet zooming by or a command from a general in-game, similar to the speaker on the wii mote. The controller also has built-in sixaxis/gyroscope similar to the DS3 for better motion controls, which will probably go great with the camera and the move light. The controller also has well placed extension/headphone ports which will look very similar to the 360. The rumble has also been greatly improved, but i will not be using it as it will kill the controllers 8 hour battery life. Yes, 8 hours. Not much, but at least now you can charge your controller in standby mode with the insanely priced (20$) micro usb cable. The controller will also be using Bluetooth 2.1 instead of the outdated Bluetooth 2.0 on the PS3. Allowing for better, faster connectivity. This is probably the reason why the DS4 and the PS3 are not wirelessly compatible. With all these new additions its a wonder this controller is only 6$ more expensive than the over priced PS3 controller.
I spent a lot of time on the controller because i know it is the most important aspect of a gaming console, along side its hardware capabilities.
In my opinion i believe the PS4 is the superior console at this point, with a feature packed controller, cheaper console, more focused on games and gamers, and a more powerful hardware.
lol "latest and greatest technology". Thats a massive joke
Yes it can moron. Cloud computing is nothing new and is certainly not exclusive to the X1. Have you done any research what so ever? Microsoft just touted it because they knew idiot American consumers would eat that crap up like bad propaganda. Anybody can do cloud computing, have been doing it for quite some time now. But even in the states, the PS4 is leading 2:1 in pre orders.
Wow, no Digital Dolby on Optical ouput??? I can't even believe they just announced this on launch day!!! Looks like it is stereo only for my Denon receiver until they fix it.
"My main complaints with X1 are simple..." - Phew, good job you complaints weren't complicated or you would have written loads! ;-)
More specs? What does that even mean? And no it does not have more games. It has 1 more exclusive than the PS4. X1 has Forza, Ryse and Deadrising. Forzas a racing game, Deadrising was very mediocre and had terrible graphics, and Ryse sucked ass. So comparing that to Knack and Killzone, its pretty much a tie. I'd definitely choose Killzone over any of those games anyday.
Hmm..I get the feeling your rant isn't without bias.
The only major complaint I have with either, is with the xbox1. The tv functionality which is only ready for the US (is this really true?), it's a major feature that one country can benefit from. Yes, they will update for other countries, but don't hold your breadth.
And being in Ireland,means we are so much further down the pecking list of countries for this functionality.
The best advice is to wait before buying one, assuming you can do that.
I thought the "on a budget" was the funniest part. Seriously people, they are both expensive.
I guess if you don't have a budget, then get both.
Ha. More specs? What does that even mean?
PS4 is the more powerful, just have to wait and see how big that advantage is and whether it makes a difference in games.
Telling when we are lying? Dectect a congenital heart defect?
Tell me!
Its not about the budget. The Xbox is charging you more for less. Yeh you dont get a camera with the ps4, but its just a gimmick anyways. I would probably never use it for any real gaming.
Joke- does not work- totally reliant on internet connection- which Microsoft denied before going to launch- I wish I had not bought this.....
Can't believe you can spend that much money on a console you can't play as it immediately requires 2 gb of data updates! My son has been waiting for launch day for months, god help anybody that's bought this for their child for Christmas, they might get to play on it by new year. Forza 5 needed 6 GB of updates and CoD ghosts needs 1.2 GB !
Surely you aren't serious? Of all the reasons to avoid a console, this is yours? Fair enough if so, it's your prerogative and choice of coarse, but you can't think of a workaround for this if it is indeed your main concern?

Well, I imagined this would happen at some point...someone has now posted the Print-on-demand 3D printer file for both an AR magazine & a lower receiver.
Mag: AR-15 Rifle Magazine by crank - Thingiverse
Lower: AR-15 Lower Receiver by KingLudd - Thingiverse
3D printers are really becoming more of a reality now, and they are doing more than just plastic parts, some of the industrial type machines can do metal parts too. They can do fairly precision parts now, here is a great example:
High Quality Pliers by russrobot - Thingiverse
The coolest thing is that in theory, with the plans/parts file a machine like this can print out the parts to make duplicates of itself(minus the electronics of course).
In case you are wondering, the printers are still a bit expensive from $1200 for a full kit to ~$2250 and up ready to run. Some are starting to be made in China and thus the price for an at home model is coming down fast. (see this one: Personal Portable 3D Printer

Helping To Rebuild Haiti
AMITY TWP., Pa. - A year ago, we were telling you about a terrible tragedy unfolding to our south in Haiti. A massive earthquake -- it devastated the island country, and resulted in much death.
Americans donated millions of dollars to support relief efforts in Haiti.
And several local churches that had established ministries in Haiti before the quake became our eyes and ears after the quake.
Pastor Aaron Durso of Love Christian Fellowship in Birdsboro and his colleague shot a video driving to one of their churches in Haiti.
"Haiti is an island there's no where to put all the rubble. So they need to get the rubble off the island,"" said Pastor Aaron Durso.
Durso said Haiti should be built from the ground up. He said the infrastucture is weak, but the people are strong. "Just talking to the people, even through the whole cholera epidemic they stayed positive, they stay upbeat and they just really work together," said Pastor Durso, "There's a really good spirit of community."
Pastor Durso has visited Haiti three times since the earthquake and is leaving again in two weeks.
Mark Gillette the President of TeamOne 27 plans on leaving Thursday morning for Haiti. "We now have three orphanage locations and we're building a forth," said Gillette.
Gillette's non-profit sent buses full of supplies to Haiti. He said thanks to the people of Berks County who donated. "They're making a difference the buses, the five buses full of supplies that we've sent have been used not just in our orphanages but also thousands of people surrounding our orphanages," said Gillette.
He said his group also has a plan to start a for-profit company to rebuild Haiti. "To create some infrastructure there, to create an economy, to create jobs to give back the people their dignity. They can go to work and feed their families." Gillete said Team One27 was in Haiti before the quake and will be there for a long time in the future. "The earthquake just was a wake up call to the world of how desperate Haiti's situation really is."

Chevy Traverse :: 2010 Chevrolet Traverse (2012-11-01 11:16:36)
Congrats Steve. Very nice crossover? Can't wait to see more pics................. :glasses:
what is the option list on that, like i said in the other thread, thats on the short list when we go shopping again for the wife.
It's got the 1LT package, plus AWD of course. So it's got full power except for the rear-hatch. It's got the mid-level radio, which is good enough for now, but that will be upgraded in the next year or so. I'm getting new floormats this weekend and I might opt for the rear cargo-organizer to help keep stuff from sliding around all over the place. Of course I'm planning to add the towing package as well in the next few weeks so I can haul my utility trailer around, plus we're probably going to get a trailer before next spring so we'll be able to tow that with this no problem.
Here's a video link to it when it was being sold ... just for archiving the history of it and all that ...
How do you like it Steve? My wife and I are looking for a replacement vehicle for her and a midsize suv is what we are looking for. I got her talked out of the Dodge Journey and now she's leaning my way towards the Acadia/Enclave/Traverse.
