Perhaps the most sophisticated feature of Google Maps Navigation is its layering ability. The Layers menu option lets you display parking, petrol stations and cash machines on the map. You can also toggle traffic views, as well as switching the map to a satellite picture. However, the latter slows map updates and requires further mobile data downloads, so is not recommended.
Google has also harnessed its Street View data to provide a junction illustration, which doesn't just show you a realistic graphic, but a street-level panoramic photo view of the actual road. An arrow illustrating the turning is overlaid on top. However, the arrow doesn't always line up with the photo, sometimes giving the curious suggestion that you should drive into a nearby building.
And that's about it for features. There's no built-in Points of Interest database organised by category, and no safety camera information either. There are no speed limit warnings, and traffic information doesn't automatically recalculate your route. But considering that this is a free sat-nav app, all the basics are provided.
Google Maps Navigation is far from perfect, and you're unlikely to want to rely on it if you're a regular traveller. The necessity of a mobile data connection makes it much more limited than software that comes with maps and route calculation abilities preinstalled, even if the dynamic maps are always going to be the most up-to-date. But it's perfectly functional for the occasional journey, and the fact that it's free means you might as well try it anyway.
The question is, with Google Maps Navigation available for nothing, does this mean the beginning of the end for standalone software? It's certainly true that you might not consider a standalone device if you're only likely to use it a few times a year. But we found performance on our G1 occasionally frustrating. For now, at least, even a standalone smartphone app will be more dependable. Still, we'll be keeping our eyes on Google Maps Navigation, because like so many things Google does, it's still in beta and is likely to improve.
I used it a couple of time, although not in the car, when I've been walking about in London trying to find somewhere. Works perfectly couldn't ask for more from a free Sat Nav. Mines running on a Desire by the way.
Looks decent. Where's the iPhone version?
I used Google Navigation a couple of times this weekend, in real scenarios, with success. For example, I was at a Homebase. They didn't have what I was after, so went on to Google Maps (on my HTC Desire), searched for B&Q, then followed the Google Navigation to get there.
I think your article overlooked a couple of things:
1) You can't overstate the beauty of having a satnav solution integrated into a mobile phone. There is no way I would have had an independent satnav device with me during my example trip, above. (Also, my dedicated satnav device often takes a few minutes to get a good GPS signal, but my phone only takes a few seconds. Anyone know why that is?)
2) The Google Navigation instructions are detailed with street names. For example after saying "Turn left in 200 yards" Google Navigation adds "onto Hale Lane". I don't know if other dedicated units do this, but my own doesn't.
"There's no built-in Points of Interest database organised by category,"
Apart from GOOGLE, poosibly the largest "points of interest database" ever compiled.
Seriously, There's nothing more satisfying than typing "aquarium shop, romsey" seeing the result, and have it take you there without you ever needing to know the address.
I used mine to get from N.London to Lincolnshire on the Desire and it performed perfectly well.
Why did you choose to test this on a 1st gen handset - sure it's nice to know it works on a hacked G1 but wouldn't it be more relevant to review it on something more up-to-date where it's available as standard? Likewise the conclusion about the performance being frustrating should be put in some context - was this down to the choice of handset or the data connection/googles servers?
I'm hopeful there wont be an iPhone version. Google should be concentrating on Android. Especially for game changing software like this.
1) The phone takes a few seconds to get a fix because it's using the mobile network to triangulate your position. It can also use WiFi networks to do the same thing. I believe the tech was pioneered by a company called Skyhook, and is now famously used in the iPhone. Android phones use something similar, but perhaps not by the same company.
Note: This usually isn't a 100% accurate fix though and can of course be affected by a weak network signal. It's still best to stand outside for around 5 minutes or so to get an accurate fix if you're in for a long drive :).
2) This'll be the TTS (Text-To-Speech) feature. It may not be present on some older SatNav models, or may be an upgradeable feature. Most of them now include it I believe.
@piesforyou: You have a good point of course, but I think he meant you still have to type something in whereas with other software you are able to tap 2 or 3 buttons to instantly get all petrol stations(for example) in close vicinity. Not to mention the network signal thing again of course. I know Google Maps can cache the route before you set off, but it's not likely to save all map elements surrounding the route.
@ epic - I totally agree. Why on earth would you use a 2 year old phone when you have the like of the desire, droid, nexus etc. Come on TR!
Used it on my Desire to get from central London to deepest darkest north Wales without skipping a beat. Excellent bit of kit for free.
As has been said, why review it on an outdated G1. The Desire or Legend would have been more appropriate. Also as has been said this is just the first version and has really hit the ground running. I'm expecting future updates to really improve things to a point where a seperate Sat Nav will be virtually redundant. Perhaps at some point it will be an install of a national map in the phones memory or on SD card to negate the need to redownload if a user goes off route. Infact I suspect this is very likely as at the moment google maps on a phone is useless abroad thanks to the cost of roaming overseas. How good would it be to be able to go to Paris with the maps data already installed, ready to use without using a data connection there.
I think it pre-loads the map, so there is the one off data call, after that no data is needed.
However if there was a way of downloading uk and Europe maps to memory card then it would start killing off the sat navs. (since 2.2 froyo, apps can be stored to micro sd... this might be start?)
But for the first version ( and its free!!!) then its great. Should be at least and 8/9 out of 10, as with google the speed they are working at will fix any problems with it soonish.
I would not buy a sat nav. My desire works brilliantly in uk, and landscape using the whole 3.7inch screen... larger then most sat navs!
(being able to save maps to micro sd card the only thing holding it back)
Even better than a N1 or Desire, couple this with something like the Dell Streak with it's 5" screen and you'd have a much better experience than with the G1. Especially if the Streak gets Froyo (or Eclair) soon.
I'm afraid a G1 was all we had to hand at the time. We don't always get left with phones for very long, particularly the very new ones. The PR companies are desperate to move these products around as many places as possible, so we often only have them for a week or two. I think the fact that Navigation works acceptably on the G1 is very telling, though. It will therefore work on any Android phone quite well.
I do talk about the integration of sat-nav with smartphone in both the text and video reviews! However, there are still quite a few reasons why a standalone device is better - often larger screen, POI category system, safety cameras and live traffic, to name but a few. It's also sometimes annoying to have your phone be your sat-nav when you want to place a call and not switch away from the sat-nav screen, or get a passenger to do so. Still, I must admit I find myself using TomTom on the iPhone more and more, instead of a standalone device, now that it has HD Traffic as well.
On the POI front, yes I was talking about the ability to find "all petrol stations nearby", which is almost always available with standalone sat-navs but isn't with Google Maps Navigation. Of course you can use Google Maps' own search to find many POIs by keyword. But that's kinda obvious. It's what Google Maps has always done.
Actually there's no typing required at all to navigate - you can press the voice search button and speak "navigate to pizza hut" or somesuch - and it does the search of the vicinity and bangs it straight into the navigation app.
It's fast - and so far extremely reliable at a) recognising the command b) immediately and correctly finding the local point of interest
To say that I think the nexus one with Google navigation makes the iPhone look like a complete turkey would be putting it mildly
@James Morris
You can use layers to overlay things like traffic, car parks, petrol stations, cash machines automatically on the map without any searching.
@Castalan: Good point. I'd forgotten about the voice search. It's just that whenever I've tried such a feature on ANY phone in the past, it ends up trying to ring my boss!
@ravi: I've seen the traffic overlay on the Google Maps app for Symbian, but how does it handle finding an alternate route around traffic?
I still haven't had a (real) chance to try the navigation on my N1. Glad to know that if its needed in a pinch its there and up to the task.
Im still waiting on my (probably cheap and nasty) car holder to arrive.
@Bluepork: two reasons one it can use aGPS which uses the phone network to narrow you down, but also if you are using the HTC clock/weather widget that changes the weather depending where you are then the phone has been tracking you all along and when you start the maps it already knows where you are, also if you have location following you turned on in settings.
I've been quite impressed by Google Navigation so far. I tend not to use it for typical getting-from-A-to-B type stuff (i still prefer the old fashioned looking at a (Google) map before leaving). But it integrates well with my geocaching app, so I can find a cache online, navigate to it by car, and then use maps or the compass to do the last bit on foot.
I think that is the USP for Navigation (gNav for short? That's what I'm gonna call it). And I hope more apps integrate the functionality. Google does need to continue developing both gNav and Maps though. I'd really like to have draggable and saveable routes like on the desktop version.
I'm in Germany this week and needed to help the taxi driver find the hotel - "I know - I'll whip out my nexus and use the navigation app to guide us there"
I speak my destination - it finds it - all is going well......
I push the "Navigate to ..." button
DISASTER - "Navigation not enabled in your country" ( or somesuch )
I tried it again this morning - and guess what - Google appear to have placated their number one fan overnight by turning on navigation for Germany :)
Hugging my phone right this second :)
Anyway the moral of the story is - Google navigaiton is great in the UK - patchy in Europe right now ( although they appear to be working on it )
List of confirmed new countries so far: Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, and Belgium.
Good review, and some good comments too.
I refuse to pay Navman's silly prices for a map upgrade, so now that is reserved for driving in Europe only (mobile roaming charges being what they are currently).
Having experimented, I have found Google Navigation a distinct improvement over Nokia, which seems to love taking longer routes. But both versions do tend to announce junctions just a bit late.
What really is useful on the google version is the voice search. It's not perfect for obscure names, but works really well for major cities and also appears to recognise brands well (starbucks for example).
As a first effort, it's pretty good, and even if you do have an existing dedicated unit, it's a great backup.
ps - how long before they do a "on foot" version? And add some real trails ;-)

Lancaster Motor Speedway returns to racing action Saturday night with eight exciting divisions of racing and fireworks.
Here's a breakdown on the upcoming dirt duels.
Limited Late Models
Chad Paxton has been dominating the Limited Late Model Division at Lancaster Speedway, but a track veteran is returning Saturday night to try and end Paxton's streak.
Three years ago when Steven Neff, the former Lancaster High and Lancaster Post 31 Legion baseball star, was pondering his baseball future, he had two thoughts in mind.
Neff was a 26h round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates out of LHS. The southpaw ace, the 2007 S.C. Gatorade Player of the Year, had hoped for a higher draft selection. He figured the chance to play in an established college baseball program, like South Carolina, might enhance his future draft status.
Then, there was another chain of thought, one on his mind as a youngster.
Rhonda Oliver hoped Tuesday night would mark the end of her neighborhood's year-long battle to have its roads accepted by the county.
She was one of many residents from Indian Land's Glen Laurel neighborhood to pack Lancaster County Council's meeting Tuesday night.
Oliver asked council to accept her neighborhood's roads and incorporate them into the county system.
"When I moved to Glen Laurel, I was told that county roads would be my roads," Oliver said. "I would like us to now be on that list."
The July 4 holiday is summer entertaining at its best.
We pack the picnic basket and head out to relax with family and friends or light the grill and invite them over for an Independence Day celebration.
Given that, we don't want to stay in the kitchen with the oven turned on any longer than we have to. And if we are outside, we want something that's going to be refreshing and cool.
With abundant sunshine and high temperatures forecast near 90 degrees in the extended forecast on Saturday and Sunday, cool, shady spots are going to be in demand.
After reading "More Food Choices for Students at Lunch" in the June 4 edition of The Lancaster News, I decided to log in to the newspaper's Web site. I wanted to see if there were any reader comments on the announcement that the school district director of food services and the president of the school board were pleased and proud to add Philly cheese steaks and chicken wings to the school lunch menu for next year.
Susan Johnson's June 13 letter, "Judicial system has to follow through," is factually incorrect.
She states that the solicitor said the person arrested for dealing drugs was never prosecuted. The solicitor is a part of the executive branch of government – not judicial. Whether or not to prosecute a case is in the sole discretion of the elected solicitor – not the judge.
We can picture the scene when veteran Lancaster City Councilman John Howard shook his head and said, "I think I'm in the twilight zone." Howard often quips at council meetings, and he's never been a council member to mince words.
And when he wondered if he was in some netherworld at the June 3 special City Council budget meeting, he did so for good reason. The majority on council had just voted to tap into the city's reserve funds to give employees a 2 percent raise.
President Barack Obama must have spent summers working in an Alaskan fishery. Experts tell me that it does not take long before the constant daylight begins to affect your performance and judgment. Otherwise, why am I still fuming that Obama's first official act was to order the close of Guantanamo Bay to ensure terrorists' rights were not violated.
GITMO prison guards surely were surprised to awaken from sleep and find that all the cells were empty. Obama let most of them go back home so they can once again work to destroy America.
I'd like to respond to Tish Leonhardt's letter, "Nurse: White Oak cares for its patients," in the June 9 edition of The Lancaster News. I usually write my own letters, word for word, but the letter Mrs. Leonhardt is referring to was written by someone else.
When I viewed the words – sorry, I can't remember where – I thought that it was very relevant to our society today. I wasn't trying to plagiarize. I sent it in liking the thought it laid out.
The Coalition for Healthy Youth of Lancaster County is looking to take a team effort approach in combating teen alcohol consumption and early tobacco use.
The coalition is shooting to have local businesses be a positive force in the fight by doing what they can to do what's right.
The coalition, formerly known as the Lancaster County Prevention Coalition, is seeking support from local businesses to help in the battle to halt the underage use of alcohol and tobacco.

Lightning Open Forum With A Thundering Victory Over Panthers
By Dory LeBlanc
Follow @DoryLeBlanc
The duo of Marty St. Louis and Steven Stamkos were unstoppable against in-state rival Florida, with each assisting on each other's goals to put the Lightning up 2-0 through one period, and Stamkos picking up two more goals in the remaining 40 minutes of the contest. Free agent signing Vatteri Filppula added a pair of goals in the third period as the Bolts coasted to a 7-2 victory over the Florida Panthers in the home opener Thursday night.
Stamkos, the NHL's leading goal scorer since the 2009-10 season (187), notched his first of the year after redirecting St. Louis' shot with six minutes left in the first, while the Bolts had one second remaining on Richard Panik's high-sticking penalty, giving Tampa Bay their first shorthanded goal since March 2012.
It also gave the captain two points on the night as St. Louis put Tampa Bay on the board first two minutes prior off a pass from Stamkos as time expired on a Panthers penalty.
The lead was the Lightning's first in regulation this season.
Florida came back on the ice determined to get something going quickly, and did just that 59 seconds into the second period when Brian Campbell's shot went wide and Lightning defenseman Radko Gudas whiffed on the clear, sending the puck off the post. Brad Boyes pounced on the unfortunate mistake, and sent the puck high past Ben Bishop to cut the Lightning's lead in half.
10 minutes later, Stamkos scored his second goal and third point of the night after starting a shooting sequence by checking a Panthers into the boards, dislodging the puck, and teammates Ryan Malone and Matt Carle each getting shots off before Stamkos' laser from the faceoff circle flew past Jacob Markstrom to extend the host's lead to 3-1.
The Lightning's offense kept the pressure on Markstrom and it continued to pay off, as Ondrej Palat put the Bolts up 4-1 with a one-timer from the right faceoff circle with three-and-a-half minutes to go in the second period.
Tampa Bay's defense, which struggled infamously last year, was up and down for much of the game; at one point they held the Panther's out of their zone and away from Bishop, limiting Florida's shots to one in over 12 minutes of play, but allowed five in the final three minutes of the period. The Panthers again cut Tampa Bay's lead in half 3:48 into the third when Jonathan Huberdeau skated past Gudas for a breakaway that found the net to make it 4-2.
Thankfully, the Lightning continued to show flashes of brilliance offensively, with accurate shots from the faceoff circles or beyond, which kept making their way past Markstrom.
Filppula gave Tampa Bay their three-goal lead back, and extended it to four with back-to-back goals at 6:38 and 9:14 to put the Lightning up 6-2 with just over 10 minutes left in regulation.
Panthers head coach Kevin Dineen opted to pull Markstrom following Filppula's second score, and sent Scott Clemmensen in between the pipes to replace him.
The goaltending change didn't do much to stop the Lightning's offensive attack as Stamkos picked up his sixth career hat trick with a power play goal to put the game out of reach at 7-2 with 7:35 left.
The Bolts coasted the rest of the game, keeping the Panthers at bay, to earn the first win in the series; newly titled the Governor's Cup by Florida Governor Rick Scott.
Attendance: 19,204 (Sellout)
Penalties: TBA

The Viability of coming in like a Wrecking Ball
A pop song that made the charts in late 2013 alludes to the idea of entering a given location analogous to a wrecking ball, raising questions over if such a feat is possible. Perhaps more significantly, the singer claims to have impacted both love and ostensibly the walls of someone's house with similar momentum at some point, providing a somewhat unique case in studying the effects of shock on human beings. Both claims are investigated with a view to their viability.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I needed legal advice regarding my landlord being delinquent on the mortgage for the house I am living in. I researched the internet and found JustAsk.com and/or JustAnswer.com. I was a bit skeptical about using the service, but after chatting with the "attorney", I felt that his answers were valid and seemed well grounded.
I was checking my bank account activity and discovered that not only was I charged the $63 fee in October 2010, but they had set it up for a recurring charge of $63 monthly.
I only asked for 1 simple question for that instance only, yet they deceptively set me up for continous fees. The operator stated that I had requested a subscription, but I did not. I had to agree to pay the $63 fee before my questions were answered. I have a copy of the entire transaction and a log on our chat conversation.
This really irked me because it could have gone on for quite a while if I had not questioned the charge. In my opinion, this was an underhanded way of charging unsuspecting consumers.

Experts devise strategy to fight new TB strain
Delegates at a conference in Johannesburg last week drew up a seven point action plan to counter the threat of extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (TB), a newly emergent strain that seems to be resistant to nearly all existing drugs.
Seeing pill-swallowing no TB cure
Directly observed therapy (DOT) -- a controversial technique in which health care workers or community volunteers watch patients swallow tablets -- does not have a significant impact on tuberculosis patients, according to a new report from The Cochrane Library. Still, DOT remains a central tenet of international recommendations for curbing the spread of treatment-resistant bacteria, and experts say they are unconvinced that cliniciansshould abandon the technique.
Mozambique to double number receiving AIDS drugs
Mozambique will provide free anti-retroviral AIDS drugs to some 50 000 people by the end of 2006. Mozambique has been hailed by international lenders as a model reformer that has grown its economy at an average rate of 8% over the past decade.
WHO's AIDS Target - An Inevitable Failure
The World Health Organization (WHO) initiative to treat 3 million HIV-infected people in low- and middle-income countries by the end of 2005 (popularly known as the 3 by 5 initiative) has failed. Unrealistic assessments of how many people could be treated in the time frame explain the failure. But there has been additional fallout from the fiasco. Relations are frayed between WHO officials and South Africas health minister, who is trying to step up her nations AIDS treatment program responsibly. Additionally, because drugs were qualified for use before they had been properly tested and then later withdrawn, the 3 by 5 initiative added to uncertainty about how to proceed in many treatment programs around the world.
New TB Therapy May Halve Treatment Time
A new therapy for treating tuberculosis could cut the current six-month treatment time in half, expand the number of patients and save millions of lives, a nonprofit that seeks treatments for the disease said Monday.
Govt to consider routine testing
The South African government is considering whether to make HIV tests routinely available at public health facilities.
Viewpoint: HIV/AIDS and the health workforce crisis: What are the next steps?
In scaling up antiretroviral treatment (ART), financing is fast becoming less of a constraint than the human resources to ensure the implementation of the programmes. In the countries hardest affected by the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pandemic, AIDS increases workloads, professional frustration and burn-out. It affects health workers also directly, contributing to rising sick leave and attrition rates. This burden is shouldered by a health workforce weakened already by chronic deficiencies in training, distribution and retention. In these countries, health workforce issues can no longer be analysed from the traditional perspective of human resource development, but should start from the position that entire societies are in a process of social involution of a scale unprecedented in human history. Strategies that proved to be effective and correct in past conditions need be reviewed, particularly in the domains of human resource management and policy-making, education and international aid. True paradigm shifts are thus required, without which the fundamental changes required to effectively strengthen the health workforce are unlikely to be initiated.
More resources needed for malaria
UN Children's Fund (Unicef) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have appealed to development partners to increase their efforts to prevent and fight malaria, the main child killer in Mozambique.
Budget Speech - Minister of Health
It gives me great pleasure to present the budget of the national Department of Health for your consideration, debate and acceptance.
Community partnerships against TB - Uganda and Nigeria
Community Partnerships may be the solution to effective TB control in high burden countries with less than optimal Primary Health Care Programs

Good question, but clearly
1. Most postings in the thread, and the specific suggestions you received, were sent _before_ you made it clear that you were using -xtreg-.
2. If the question is, how best to estimate a time trend, with nothing else said, then translating time to a sensible origin remains good general advice.

text: I recently had to return a pair of Alden longwings because the metal shank broke and kept clicking every step I took. Got a new pair and I'm starting to feel the problem again. It feels like the right foot fits differently than the left. I get a pain in the forefoot and toes on the right which I assume is due to the way my foot is flexing in the shoe. It feels like the muscles of that foot are strained after walking all day. Never had this problem with other shoes. Size feels good although could be a touch smaller. Would an arch or heel insert help? Anyone have this problem with pain in the forefoot?

Boxing returns to Hobbs, N.M.
By David Finger
Boxing returns to Hobbs, New Mexico this Saturday night (July 27th) as undefeated super middleweight prospect Gerardo Quintana (3-0-1, 3 KO's) takes on fellow undefeated prospect Robert Josh Chavez (2-0, 0 KO's) in a four round fight. 22-year old Quintana is already considered one of the best prospects to ever come out of Southeast New Mexico, and has electrified the local boxing scene after winning his first three fights by way of knockout. However, Quintana struggled in his last fight, being held to a draw on the undercard of the James Toney-Kenny Lemos by fellow undefeated prospect Chris Leyva. Still, few saw the draw as a major setback, and many local boxing fans are expected to come out in full force for Quintana's homecoming. The 23-year old Chavez turned pro back in April, winning a decision over Mike Quezada. He followed up his victory with another decision over Quezada in June and is widely seen as the a legitimate prospect in his own rights with the skills to upset the local boy.
In the co-main event Clovis New Mexico's Ricardo Rico Urquizo 0-0-1 takes on Los Lunas' Manuel Eastman (1-3) in a four round light heavyweight fight.
Rounding off the card, welterweight Jason Davis (11-9-1, 3 KO's) comes down to Hobbs from Vancouver, Washington to take on the ever dangerous TBA in a four round welterweight fight. In a rematch of a fight from October of last year, undefeated Jose Salinas (2-0, 2 KO's) of Las Cruces takes on Victor Silva (1-2, 1 KO) of Socorro in a four round lightweight fight. Salinas stopped Silva in the third round of their first meeting. Welterweight Adam Vasquez of Las Cruces makes his professional debut as he takes on the popular Michael Herrera (0-3) of Roswell. Lubbock Texas' Alex Hipotio (1-1, 1 KO) battles a TBA in a featherweight fight. And rounding off the card, winless Jesus Angel Pacheco (0-3) will take on winless Brandon Salazar (0-1) in a four round lightweight fight. Both fighters hail from Albuquerque.
The fight will be at the Club la Sierra in Hobbs, New Mexico. Door open at 6pm with the first fight starting at 7:30. General admission tickets are $30 and ringside tickets are $60. Tickets can be obtained by calling promoter Isidro Castillo at 575-263-9443.

START SEARCHING A CONSTRUCTION JOBNot all construction jobs are dangerous. Some of them do not need people to be present in the building process. Most of them are well paid because they demand a lot of work. An architect would need to design a building that is fit for human habitation. An architect would also have to check that the plumbing and the electricity would work well within this building. As you've already guessed, it takes patience. A construction manager has to handle with multiple tasks/assignments and he always has to check that the building is being constructed as it was originally thought.
We've only mentioned a couple of construction jobs to give you an idea of the kind of work that they involve. We are trying to help you familiarize with the area of construction. And if you have already worked in the construction field for many years, we appreciate your visit. We hope that you find this page helpful enough to find great construction jobs! The idea is to create a stronger labor force that likes to dedicate to the construction of buildings and houses through the marketing of any construction jobs that are currently available in different parts of the US.
Looking for best paying construction jobsThe secret to a successful search for construction employment that comes with a fat paycheck lies in looking for work in the right places. That's why we crunched the numbers to identify locations with Highest Paying Jobs.
Talent and professionalism are the main factors in the construction industry. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, many construction Superintendent, Crane Operator, Field Engineer, Purchasing Coordinator, among other professionals, have to take other jobs due to the highly inconsistent nature of this industry. Even though there is fiercely competition in this field, more and more people prefer careers related to this construction industry.

I am on a cloth diapering board and we are running an awesome Addi Turbo co-op right now. It ends on 4/23 and payments are due 4/24 but if we can hit the min (40 needles), we are only paying $8 per circular! That is like 1/2 off the retail cost. I don't know if anyone is in search of knitting needles but please feel free to come on over and hop in our co-op. We're really worried about hitting the min so the more the merrier!
You will need to register for the site before you can join the co op.
What a cool idea! What if my baby is turning 15 in a couple of weeks?
I don't think it matters, lol. I asked the co op host if it was okay to point knitters from a knitting forum over for the co op and she said sure!
I plan to cloth-diaper if I have any more.

Hello All!
My name is Emily Bagdasarian, and I am at a crossroads here in life. This fall, I am migrating back across the pond to my European roots, something I've been dreaming of since I left my homeland seven years ago. I will be studying abroad for a semester in the bustling city of London. Jolly ole England is calling my name, and by answering it's call, I am earning a minor in British Communications and Media. Currently, I am a sophomore double majoring in Cultural Anthropology and Media Arts and Design at James Madison University located in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
When asked the question "where are you from," I am quick to respond, "I'm from all over the place." During my lifespan of nineteen years, I have lived in nine different homes ranging across the globe from Germany to Georgia. Großbissendorf, Germany is the closest thing to a "hometown" I'll ever get. Cobblestone streets and hidden alleyways made up my playground as a young girl. It's hard to capture that same feeling here in Virginia, and for that I miss Europe. Living in the city of London will be a healthy fix to my European addiction. As an ardent art lover, museums are a girl's best friend, comforting yet thrilling. I wish I had enough time to complete a minor in Art History, but gallery hopping will help fill the void. Weekend excursions to museums and cultural sites will intensify my academic and personal growth. Also, London boasts of many parks and gardens, such as Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, perfect for running and biking. Every street corner or flea market seems embedded with history lessons that make textbooks come alive. You can read all the articles and books you want on a specific culture, but you can't fully understand it unless you plunge head first into its waters. Immersing myself into another culture is a thrilling experience.
Through studying abroad in London, I hope to gain valuable contacts while creating a reliable network for myself. Post graduation, I wish to return "home" to Europe, and England seems to be the best fit for my aspirations and dreams. An internship in England would provide me with essential life and career skills while experiencing the British lifestyle firsthand. International experience is a critical and impressive part of any résumé, and global-minded employees are in high demand in today's job market. Graduating students with internships on their résumé have a much better chance of landing a full-time position or job upon graduation.

A deflected goal four minutes from time denied Arsenal Reserves victory over Norwich on Monday night at Barnet FC.
The visitors led after just three minutes when Andrew Fisk tapped home from close range. But Arsenal responded with two goals in two minutes just before the half-hour through Sebastian Larsson and then Fabrice Muamba with his first of the season.
However Rossi Jarvis forced an equaliser late on to grab a point for the Canaries.
Arsenal had made just one change from the side which lost at Southampton last week - Paul Rodgers replacing Carl Parisio who dropped to the bench.
The visitors may have taken the lead even earlier than they did after Muamba lost possession in midfield in the opening minute. But Ryan Jarvis scuffed his shot after being played through one-on-one with Vito Mannonne and the ball rolled harmlessly wide.
But just two minutes later, the Gunners were not so fortunate. Ryan Jarvis squared from the left to Peter Thorne and he in turn found Fisk who tip-toed his way past two defenders before coolly beating Mannonne.
Arsenal's first real chance of the half fell to Bendtner after seven minutes but his header from Giorgos Efrem's right-wing cross was tipped away at full stretch by Paul Gallagher in the Norwich goal.
The home side were now enjoying plenty possession without really threatening Gallagher's goal.
Then in the 27th minute, Bendtner won a free-kick on the edge of the Norwich area and Sebastian Larsson showed his time with first team is paying off as he took a quick free-kick - Thierry Henry style - to bring his side level.
A minute later, Arsenal, were in front. Bendtner knocked on a high ball forward and Muamba took it in his stride before finishing low and hard with his left foot.
Arsenal were nearly celebrating a third when Ryan Smith swung in a sumptuous cross from the left and the onrushing Bendtner met it with a powerful header but his effort flew just over.
The second half saw early chances for Arsenal to extend their advantage as Stokes saw his low shot tipped past the post by Gallagher and Efrem volleyed over from Larsson's wonderful scooped pass.
Stokes went close again just after the hour mark, exchanging passes with Bendtner before firing wide from close range.
The Canaries' goal was living a charmed life but in end it was Arsenal who were made to rue their missed chances as Rossi Jarvis' shot from the left of the penalty area took a wicked deflection and nestled in the top corner of Mannonne's net.
Arsenal still had one final effort on goal in them, and it came from an unlikely source - Sean Kelly. The centre-back let fly from 30 yards in the dying seconds, only to see his shot go wide.

foam brick as crawl insulation
hi everyone!
if i use foam brick outside my crawl space, do i still have to insulate behind it?
also, my new addition has open rafter joists only so far, what is the best way to put it together? insulation installation? then furring strips and ceiling drywall? then blown on top of that? ( in case drywall needs repair, all the blown doesn't just fall out....) not sure where to start, but it needs to pass inspection. tnkx!
Foam brick???
There are circumstances where a crawlspace doesn't have to be insulated, but if there are no outside vents to vent the space then you basically have to insulate it. I don't know what you mean by foam bricks, but I have my doubts that you'll get the minimum R value requirement without insulating the wall cavities.
No idea what you mean by open rafter joists. :huh: Can you post a picture or describe further? Rafters and joists are not the same thing, and there are situations where either would need insulation. Joists are the floor or ceiling, rafters are the roof.
at a 2 ft. avg height all around the perimiter the fake brick will cost way too much. can i just run siding all the way to the ground?
the ceiling rafters are bare to the roof, new construction.
what do i need to drywall, insulate, etc. the ceiling?
tnkx termite guy
Are you doing this work?
kctermite asked questions that you didn't answer. It would help if you processed the responses before you replied. It makes the process more effective.
don't know what i did not answer, sorry... i corrected myself and said rafters.. if you look up, you see the bottom of the outside roof through the trusses. (ain't those also rafters?) i need a 'common way' that ceilings are installed. sorry about the mixup, i am not familiar with all the terms for what i'm talking about, though i'm studying all the pertinent threads here and AM learning, so please be patient with me... =o) and yup, i have to do this all myself as we are poor. i'm great at fixing bout anything, but lots of this is all new to me and i cannot afford to have to rip out something and do it over. (already happened once with this inspector.)
tnkx! all of your comments are appreciated and help immensely!

Bill Gates might not have been ambitious enough when he warned bullies that the nerds they torment will one day be their bosses. The E3 conference in Los Angeles shows that nerds haven't just become rich - they're rock stars.
Yesterday PlayStation and Microsoft made their pitches for the future gaming dollar in the lead up to the massive annual video games showcase. They delivered their press conferences in arenas in front of thousands of people.
The events looked and sounded like rock concerts, with lights flashing and speakers blaring as the games companies and developers made announcements about their future.
Who won?
Microsoft's press conference was a chance to turn things around after a tough year.
It had earlier decided to debundle the Kinect from its XBox One after telling the assembled crowds at E3 2013 the technology was integral to the console.
Sales have also reportedly slipped behind Sony's. This year XBox division CEO Phil Spencer decided to focus the press conference solely on games in a blistering 90 minutes of trailers and announcements.
Whereas that conference felt a bit like Microsoft's mea culpa, with its regular assurances that "we're listening", Sony came out oozing confidence. It revealed a solid new line-up of games, mixed in with hardware offerings such as PlayStation TV, which allows you to stream games in multiple rooms, and a new white console to tie in with the launch of Bungie's hotly anticipated blockbuster Destiny.
Co-operative play: What happened to the time when you could invite your friend around, grab a 1.5 litre bottle of Fanta and play a Golden Axe campaign together for five hours? For a while it's seemed like nearly all multiplayer gameplay was about competition. E3 showed co-operation is making a comeback. Games like Sony's popular platformer Little Big Planet 3 and Microsoft's Assassins Creed: Unity and Fable: Legends all expanded their cast of core characters from one to four, adding the possibility of friends able signing on to help you through a campaign. They all looked better for it - especially Assassins Creed.
Sequels and reissues: Gamers are getting old. It's been 10 years since Halo 2 was released, 11 since the first Call Of Duty. The greasy haired teenagers fuelling themselves through overnight games sessions with Red Bull and cheese balls are now 30-year-olds with jobs and partners who should know better. But that hasn't stopped them looking back fondly on days past.
Yesterday's press conferences showed the game giants are keen to tap into that rich vein of nostalgia. The loudest response Microsoft got at its conference was to the announcement that it would be re-releasing all four core Halo games on a single disc for XBox One in The Master Chief Collection. It was also giving popular title Crackdown an update for XBox One. Sony got big cheers for announcing it was giving The Last Of Us and Grand Theft Auto V the PlayStation 4 treatment. It shows the big games companies' willingness to wring franchise games for every drop of value. Many of the big announcements yesterday were about sequels: Uncharted, Assassins Creed, Halo, Far Cry, Call Of Duty, Mortal Kombat and many more were trotted out. It made the trailers for space exploration game No Man's Sky and Bloodborne, the new project of Dark Souls' creative genius, Hidetaka Miyazaki, sparkle a little brighter for their originality.
The best looking game: Arkham Knight looked amazing with Batman swooping from a skyscraper to his Batmobile and speeding through the streets to punch Penguin in the face. No Man's Sky was the most original with its proceedural design apparently allowing for an infinite universe (this may be a good thing or an open invitation to contemplate death and the nature of time). The Division still looks excellent, as do The Order - 1886, Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Sunset Overdrive.
But the most impressive gameplay demo came from second tier blockbuster Assassins Creed: Unity. Its new cooperative features looked like a big step up for a franchise that doesn't always inspire fervour amongst the gaming community. There's not much cooler than seeing one of your 'brothers' knifing a guard in the neck out of the corner of your eye as you walk into the next room.
Surprise highlight: I got a huge kick out of most of the games in offer at the Best Of XBox showcase at the beautiful United Artists Theatre last night. But special praise has to go to the indie game Lovers In A Dangerous Spacetime for breaking my heart in the most addictive way with its weirdly difficult gameplay. I want to get my rabbit pilot, run back on board that spacestation and blast some bunnies free from their space captivity again as soon as possible.

A 60-year-old woman single-handedly fought a masked burglar to save her five-year-old granddaughter at their house in JM Colony on Sunday. The accused had broken into the house of Pramila Kataria, held her granddaughter hostage and was trying to steal valuables.
The elderly woman was felicitated with a bravery award by police commissioner Alok Mittal at her house on Monday.
According to the police, the accused, identified as Firoz Khan, 30, is a native of Balabhgarh, Faridabad, and lived in the victim's neighbourhood.
He has an MBA degree and was looking for a job.
While Kataria's son is on a trip to Belgium with his wife, her daughter Pinki was present in the house when the robber struck.
On Sunday morning, Kataria went to make a cup of tea for herself and was shocked to see a masked man holding her granddaughter at knifepoint.
Pramila tried to negotiate with the burglar and suddenly grabbed his knife.
Pinki then came to the rescue and they both fought the accused.
The neighbours heard their screams and managed to nab Khan.

The Autococker Trilogy is truly amazing marker. The problem however is that it is not adjustable like its predecessors. The Low Pressure Nut was designed to change that.
The Low Pressure Nut allows you to install any Standard Autococker Front Block Regulator on to your Trilogy. Adding a front block regulator will allow you to drastically reduce the markers operating pressure. This in turn will reduce ball breaks as well as make for increased accuracy and reduced recoil.
Your Trilogy will shoot smoother than ever before.
This part is a must have for any Trilogy owner.

Does 'tart' imply female?
Not sure how relevant the discussion will look six days later, but CNBC plans to run Ken Auletta's Tuesday breakfast interview with CBS chief Les Moonves during which Moonves called Dan Rather's "tarting up" remarks about Katie Couric sexist and set off a bit of a firestorm this weekend.
Meanwhile, an emailer comes down hard on American Women in Radio and Television president Marie Brennan's slam of Rather:
Who is Maria Brennan? Does she speak English? Does she write for a living? Does she have a dictionary? Does she ever open it? Does she know what she doesn't know? "Tart" does imply female. But "tarting up"–the phrase used by Rather (of whom I'm certainly no fan)– is NOT gender-specific. I'm embarrassed for my (ignorant) sex.

LOUISVILLE Just hours before the Kentucky Derby, trainer Larry Jones got up early with his filly Eight Belles and took her to the track for a ride before the big race.
This was supposed to be a day of tempting history for Jones and Eight Belles.
They were taking on 19 colts and trying to make Eight Belles the fourth filly, and the first since Winning Colors in 1988, to win the "Run for the Roses."
This was to be a day of celebration for owner Rick Porter and his entourage no matter where she finished. She was the first filly to enter the Derby since 1999.
Now there will be a necropsy and then cremation.
It was a day that held such promise.
And a day on which the racing industry should have been celebrating a legitimate Triple Crown contender in Big Brown.
Not an afternoon to explain how, for the second time in two years, tragedy befell their sport.
The day was not supposed to end in death of another great racehorse.
Perhaps if the wounds of losing Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro were not so fresh there would not be this feeling of "Here we go again." Perhaps the shock would not have been so severe.
Eerily, Barbaro's trainer, Michael Matz, saw another one of his horses, Chelokee, injured Friday at Churchill Downs with the same injury as Barbaro, a broken lower leg.
Just when the industry needed good news, officials will have to explain why this happened again.
There will be questions with few answers.
•Should horses run this young?
•Is a 20-horse field too filled with danger?
•Should fillies be running against males?
•Does medication play any role in this?
•Are dirt surfaces, such as those at each Triple Crown track, more dangerous than grass or the new synthetic surfaces?
•Has breeding caused a weakening of the talent pool?
"When you operate on a higher level, the risks are higher. That filly ran her guts out," said Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito, who has won two Derbys and had two colts entered Saturday. "Look at real life. These things happen. If they said, 'We have a device where horses run on pillows and they will never get hurt,' where do I sign?' "
Said Big Brown's trainer, Richard Dutrow Jr., to the Associated Press: "To make it safer, don't race the horses, don't train them; then they'll live good lives out on the farm."
Fleeting celebration
But that doesn't mean there won't be demands and expectations from those who watch the sport.
"It is time this barbaric 'sport' be exposed," wrote Gloria Gordon, a 58-year-old registered nurse from Houston. "I stopped watching those races when Ruffian suffered the same fate years ago (in a 1975 match race). Being from Philly, I know firsthand how much poor Barbaro suffered. Cruelty is just that, whether animal or human."
As Eight Belles ran down the stretch Saturday, it was obvious Big Brown was the best horse on the track. But there also was no question the filly was better than the other 18.
She ran the race of her 3-year-old life, and that was cause for celebration.
But only briefly.
Sometime after crossing the finish line, she broke both of her front ankles and had to be euthanized.
"She ran a whale of a race. She ran the race of her life," Jones said, fighting back tears. "She ran great."
The day ended in sorrow but not in second-guessing for Jones.
Not about skipping the Kentucky Oaks, where Eight Belles would have been favored to win her fifth consecutive start and would have faced a smaller field made up entirely of fillies.
Not about putting her in the most prestigious horse race in the world.
Not even about her being put down before he could reach her.
"She went out in glory," Jones said. "She went out a champion to us."
Jones said he struggled to get on the track after the race, anxious to check on his horse's condition and begin celebrating their second-place finish.
In a cruel twist, the television audience and some of the more than 150,000 fans at the track knew what Jones did not as he tried to shove his way through a crowd of people onto the track.
But as he came around the track, he saw jockey Gabriel Saez riding back on the pony of NBC Sports' Donna Brothers. Jones said he asked his jockey what was happening and was told, "Mr. Larry, they put her down."
That's when Jones said he ran for the ambulance on the track and caught a ride back to his barn, where he was able to see his horse.
"It had to be done," Jones said. "She had no way to be saved."
As Eight Belles, a daughter of Unbridled's Song and Away, rounded the three-quarter pole, slowing her pace after the race, she collapsed with condylar fractures in both legs, said Larry Bramlage, the on-call veterinarian at Churchill Downs.
"It's something that I wouldn't even have considered," Bramlage said. "I haven't seen this before."
Because she didn't have a front leg to stand on and be splinted, she was immediately euthanized, Bramlage said.
There was "absolutely nothing you could do," Bramlage said. "This was tough enough had it been one (leg)." Both Jones and Bramlage said they did not think running on the dirt surface at Churchill Downs had anything to do with causing the injury.
"We have the faith of knowing that things happen for a reason. She ran the race of her life," Jones said. "All we had to do was pull up and come back and be happy. And it just didn't happen."
Said NTRA President and CEO Alex Waldrop: "It took a truly breathtaking performance by Big Brown to deny her victory in the world's most prestigious race. She ran superbly and galloped out uneventfully before suffering a tragic accident."
Blunt reactions
On the Internet, the reaction was blunt and brutal. Tom Weir of USA TODAY wrote an item in his Game On! blog that began:
For horse racing aficionados, the 4 3/4-length victory by Big Brown at the Kentucky Derby fueled hopes that Thoroughbred racing will see its first Triple Crown winner in three decades. But for the millions of casual followers of the Sport of Kings, the wish was likely simpler:
Can we have a big-time race day without seeing a valiant four-legged competitor crippled and condemned to death?
The reaction was swift and in agreement:
"I grew up with horses but will never ride again. Horse culture is full of delusion. Breaking its spirit, enslaving it, mutilating its body, and running it to death before a grotesque display of drunk gamblers. Sad. Some reward for their legendary spirit and loyalty to man.— Miles West
Activists protest
The animal-rights group PETA sent a letter to Sen. Hillary Clinton asking her to condemn horse racing and chiding her for placing a bet on Eight Belles. PETA wants Saez suspended for what it says was excessive whipping.
"I regret to say that your public support of horse racing — and specifically betting on Eight Belles — makes you culpable in her destruction," PETA wrote in its letter to Clinton. "We cannot call ourselves a civilized nation if we allow any living being to endure such abuse."
RESPONSE: Trainer defends jockey
On a competitive note, fans are left to wonder, as they were with Barbaro, what kind of racehorse Eight Belles would have been.
With almost everyone in the Derby electing, for now, to skip the Preakness, Big Brown will enter a projected nine-horse field.
The question is whether this filly would have been the one to mount the best challenge. And if she had elected to skip running against males, whether she could have so dominated her sex as to stamp her a great champion.
For now there is just sadness tinged with pride.
"These things are our family," Jones said. "We put everything into them that we have. They've given us everything they have. They put their life on the damn line, and she was glad to do it."

text: NEW YORK, April 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The pace of M&A activity in the Americas is expected to pick up this year, according to two reports published today by Standard & Poor's. The reports, "Economic Growth and Opportunities in Several Markets Will Fuel M&A Activity in Latin America" and "North American M&A Outlook Sector-by-Sector" can be found at ratings.standardandpoors.com/corporates/mergers-and-acquisitions.html. Latin America As global economic conditions gradually improve, leading Latin American companies are expected to use the ample liquidity on their balance sheets to take advantage of low valuations of distressed competitors in the region and abroad, according to "Economic Growth And Opportunities In Several Markets Will Fuel M&A Activity in Latin America." The report says that the M&A volume remains intense in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, even if at lower levels than the historically high levels of 2010 and 2011. M&A transactions over the past three years have been primarily made through cash in hand or stock, the report says, and there generally has not been an impact on credit quality, although that may not necessarily continue. "Given currently low interest rates, expectations for economic growth, and some attractive valuations of target companies, Latin American companies may turn more aggressive in their expansion strategies, says Eduardo Uribe-Caraza, managing director and author of the report. "If they pursue large, debt-funded acquisitions, this could bring a deterioration in their liquidity and overall financial risk profile, leading to possible downgrades." Outbound activity by Latin American companies purchasing operations abroad, has also been significant, as some of the large regional players, attracted by low equity valuations and business diversification, have sought expansion primarily in the U.S. and Europe.

Liverpool beats Swansea 4-3, maintains title push
By Jack Bezants ,AP Tuesday, February 25, 2014, 12:51 am TWN
LONDON -- Liverpool kept up its Premier League title challenge with a 4-3 win against Swansea in an entertaining game at Anfield on Sunday.
The victory strengthened Liverpool's position in the top four after Tottenham lost 1-0 at Norwich in the day's late kickoff, cutting the north London club six points adrift of fourth place and the final Champions League slot for next season.
The result means Liverpool is still only four points behind leader Chelsea, which has 60 points after beating Everton 1-0 on Saturday. Arsenal is a point behind in second after thrashing Sunderland 4-1 and third-place Manchester City has 57 and a game in hand.
A fast start saw Liverpool lead 2-0 after 20 minutes against manager Brendan Rodgers' former club. Daniel Sturridge took the ball past Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm to open the scoring before setting up Jordan Henderson to curl a shot into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.
But former Liverpool player Jonjo Shelvey pulled a goal back on 23 minutes from long range before Wilfried Bony scored with a header four minutes later to bring Swansea back to level terms.
Sturridge headed home his second in the 36th minute after being picked out by an accurate delivery from Luis Suarez — but Swansea leveled again soon after halftime, with Bony scoring a penalty after being fouled by Martin Skrtel.
Both sides then went close to taking the lead. Suarez brought a good stop from Vorm and Jonathan de Guzman went near with a free kick but it was Henderson who secured the three points for Liverpool, finding the net with his second attempt after Vorm saved his initial shot.
"Today we were not quite at our best but we scored four goals and won the game," Rodgers said. "It was a very, very important performance for us."
Rodgers was also pleased to see Henderson getting on the scoresheet.
"The first goal was outstanding, and we've been talking to him about getting up there because in training his finishing is sublime," Rodgers said.
Norwich moved four points away from the relegation zone with its much-needed victory at Carrow Road.
After a quiet first half, Robert Snodgrass scored early in the second with a neat finish to beat Hugo Lloris.
"Everybody at this football club is pushing in the right direction," Norwich manager Chris Hughton said. "We only want results. We have 11 more games to get as many points as we can."
Tottenham failed to properly challenge the Norwich defense and a second goal from the home side looked more likely. Midfielder Bradley Johnson hit the underside of the crossbar with a long range free kick and Nathan Redmond saw his effort well saved by Lloris.
Elsewhere, Newcastle secured a late 1-0 victory at home to Aston Villa thanks to Loic Remy's 12th goal of the season in the final minute of stoppage time.

- Publisher's Summary
- Little has been written about the legal position and conditions of detention of persons detained by international criminal tribunals, particularly as regards their internal legal position (their rights and duties inside the remand facility). The primary purpose of this book is to set out the law governing the detention of persons detained under the tribunals' jurisdiction. The book provides a detailed account of this area of international criminal law. It sets out the applicable law, including the law's underlying principles, and focuses on a number of specific procedural and substantive legal issues. As to procedural issues, it examines the available complaints and disciplinary procedures as well as procedures applicable to the designation of States for the enforcement of the tribunals' sentences. In respect of substantive law, it examines the detainees' right to contact with the outside world, including contact with their relatives, with their lawyers and with the media. The book will be an extremely useful guidance for practitioners in applying the law and principles of the tribunals' detention law, particularly because it is the first monograph written on the topic.
