trecksail -- not sure what you are looking for but finding a liveaboard from ft lauderdale through miami is almost impossible - there are a couple of places to moor a boat and liveboard but very difficult and expensive - your best bet may be to find someone who has a slip and selling the boat and see if you can get the slip with the boat - i know o one person who is selling a 32' (i believe) that is at a slip in dinner key marina and she is not getting a new boat -- it is just getting impossible to find a slip of any kind in south fla if you want to liveaboard - but if you work hard enough something may come open
good luck

|Happy Holidays,Where in Fl are you wanting to go? The Keys are the best place if you plan to cruise in the Caribean.There are a lot of boats in that size for sail.Still lots of places that allow liveaboards,and you can't beat the weather.
Anchoring/mooring in Florida?
Hi all, As I'm loosing my mind up here in the midwest with a drydocked boat, I'm thinking of picking up a 20 - 25'er down in Southern Florida for some winter sailing. Does anyone know of any good places I could anchor or moor the boat cheaply? I'd love to be able to hit the Bahamas or Dry Tortugas every so often!

Smith hit with loss in return to Royals' rotation
Smith hit with loss in return to Royals' rotation
The opposing Mariners didn't batter Smith as much as they had his teammates in the series' first three games, but they got to him nonetheless, leading to another Royals loss, 6-1, Thursday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
After cruising through the first inning, Smith got into trouble in the second. Jesus Montero led off with a rocket line drive to deep center field. Royals center fielder Jarrod Dyson went back on the ball and crashed into the padding at full speed. There was no play to make, though, as the ball went over the fence for a home run.
Kyle Seager and Justin Smoak followed with singles, and both came around to score -- Seager on a Michael Saunders single and Smoak on a Brendan Ryan sacrifice fly, making the score 3-0 by inning's end.
The Mariners tacked on another in the top of the fifth. After doubling with one out, Ichiro Suzuki scored on a single by Montero, increasing the lead to 4-0. Montero drove in two more after Smith exited: one on an RBI double in the seventh and another on a ninth-inning sacrifice fly. He finished the four-game series with eight RBIs.
The lack of support meant Smith's four runs allowed were enough to give him the loss. He's 1-3 on the season, and Montero's second-inning blast made it three of four starts in which Smith has allowed a home run. He ended up lasting 6 1/3 innings, a career high, and surrendering eight hits and two walks while striking out five.
Though the numbers weren't the prettiest, both Smith and manager Ned Yost said things went better this time around than they did during Smith's first turn with the Royals in late May and early June.
"I was able to slow the game down this time," Smith said. "Last time I was up here, the game was going so fast for me. I was able to take some deep breaths before my pitches and execute."
"He commanded the ball much better," Yost said. "He kept the ball down, changed speeds really well, didn't make near as many mistakes over the course of the game and did a nice job of getting us into the seventh inning. If we weren't facing Felix Hernandez, we were still in the game. It was 4-1 at that time. He did a nice job of keeping us in the game, going deep in the game, giving us a chance."
Oh yeah, Hernandez.
For the most part, Hernandez shut down the Royals' offense. Kansas City scored just once on a Chris Getz RBI single in the bottom of the fifth. The run ended Hernandez's streak of 19 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings, but it was really the only thing the hitters could boast about. A one-out, bases-loaded threat in the eighth didn't amount to anything. Hernandez went eight innings, giving up eight hits, walking one and striking out three.
"He pitched outstanding today," Yost said. "I don't know if the heat had anything to do with it, but he wasn't trying to blow hitters away. He was spotting his pitches really nice, had nice two-seam action on his fastball, commanded the ball as well as I've seen a pitcher command the ball all year long. Good breaking stuff, kept the ball down consistently and really did a great job of pitching to contact today. Managed his pitch count very effectively and got a lot of real quick outs and did a great job of keeping us off-balance."
"He's off-speed stuff is so deadly that you just can't get behind in the count, so our goal was attack him early," first baseman Eric Hosmer said. "It's why he's one of the best pitchers in the game. He was locating with his fastball, and he was changing speeds well with it. He threw a great game."
Hosmer was one of the only bright spots for the Royals. Dropped in the order before the game due to a season-long slump, Hosmer went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
"I'm sure their game plan was to hop on him early in the count and not let him get to his strikeout stuff," Mariners catcher John Jaso said. "That kind of helped a little, with the movement on his fastball he was getting poor balls hit in play. But give credit to the hitters, too, because I thought they did a pretty good job with what they were dealing with. They jumped on him early, they were hitting his changeup and two-seamer away and those lefties were flicking it out there to left-center. That was pretty impressive."
The Royals will be more than content to let the Mariners leave Kansas City. Seattle had a prolific offensive series, scoring 31 runs and collecting 50 hits in the four-game series. Mariners hitters smacked eight home runs and batted .325 in the series.
Some of that can be chalked up to the Mariners' road success. They entered Thursday's game leading the Majors with 245 runs scored on the road. But Yost said his team just needs to pitch better.
"It's more frustrating than deflating," Yost said. "We're not pitching well right now. The guys are out giving it their best effort, but we've got to find a way to get back on track.
"You go out there, and pitchers know that the guy before threw an inning and a third or an inning and two-thirds and they put a lot of pressure on themselves to go deep in the game. It's hard to be at your best when you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself."

Route 150 Bridge Over East Big Creek in Greenwood Closes June 6
Posted by GSDispatch Editor in by MoDOT
The Route 150 bridge over East Branch of Big Creek near Greenwood will close for replacement June 6, weather permitting.
The bridge is expected to be open in July. Traffic will detour to other state routes until the new bridge opens. The bridge, built in 1968, carries about 5,700 vehicles each day and is among 10 in Jackson County that are being repaired or replaced this year as part of the Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program.
MoDOT has just completed replacing three bridges on Route H north of Oak Grove and also is replacing bridges, decks or making other structural improvements to bridges in Independence, Raytown, south Kansas City and Lake Lotawana. These bridges have been or will be closed to through traffic for up to 60 days sometime this year to allow the contractor to complete work quickly. The closures detour traffic to nearby routes, affecting school bus, emergency service and postal routes.
These bridges are among more than 800 statewide that are being repaired, redecked or replaced through MoDOT's Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program. Most of Missouri's worst bridges will be fixed through this accelerated program, including more than 145 in the eight-county Kansas City District. This year alone, MoDOT will fix more than 70 bridges and complete all scheduled Safe & Sound bridges by the end of 2012.

Review: Battery Giant
Posted in the Macomb Forum
#1 Dec 17, 2008
Good service after the sale of the battery for my
IQ3600 PDA/GPS, they provided tools that were not in the package when shipped so the replacement went successfully.
#3 Nov 4, 2009
Awesome. They had a custom battery pack for my p90 airsoft gun that I could not find anywhere else online or even in any stores. But, it turns out i ordered the wrong one. So I called their customer service and easily returned it with little hassle. I also talked to the customer service rep to find a pack that would fit my gun and the representative was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and actually suggested a better custom pack that added even more power to my gun than the one I was originally looking for. The price was a lot cheaper than I thought it would be comparing it to my several other battery purchases for different guns that I have made. Shipping was extremely quick on both purchases and there were no hassles at all. I would highly suggest them for any battery purchase or need that you may have.

Battery Giant was a great choice for extra capacity batteries for my cell phone. I ordered it by the mfg model numbers and it came with a new cover and everything. Next I ordered a laptop battery for a 5 year old Dell, it came in plugged it in and worked great. I would use them for future purchases.

I am a repeat satisfied Battery Giant customer. They always have my mother's hearing aid batteries in-stock, AC312-4AD Energizer Zinc Air, and for a great price(much less than the dr.'s office)! Great quality and sold in a convienent eight-pack.
#8 Jan 26, 2010
I needed a replacement battery for my laptop as well as a new wall charger for my BlackBerry. The employees at Battery Giant were helpful, courteous and informative. I will definitely be a repeat customer!
#9 Jan 3, 2011
What a waste of time calling them for a replacement for a camera battery. It took them 5 minutes on the phone to tell me they had their own replacement battery, but did not have it in stock at the time! How does the place stay in business. Off we go to Radio Shack.
#10 Jan 6, 2011
Hey Dan, did you actually go into the store, or just call them on the phone. From what I've heard, the store was sold and under new management and their phone number was different than listed in the phone book. Besides, Have you been to Radio Shack lately? please.....
#11 Jan 15, 2011
Hi Larry,
I had posted this complaint on YELP, and later a Gary Eddy, Operations Manager, contacted me.... Or so he said he was. I did finally get a free battery from him, sent to my house. Anyway, a short time later someone by the name of Bobby V from Hazel Park, Michigan left a message on YELP pretty much pointing out how much of an idiot I was to give Battery Giant only one star. He also seemed to know I was an older person, and not a young whipper snapper :-). Anyway he went on and on about stuff like I probably could have got the battery from a dollar store. Anyway, I suspect he works for Battery Giant, and posted that insulting comment.
Ha Ha on the Radio Shack comment. I did go there and found out that they also did not have the battery, nor did any of the Radio Shack stores in the area. And yes, once in a while I will visit a Radio Shack store....... but later wonder why I ever did it again :-)
#12 Jan 16, 2011
Larry, the saga continues with Battery Giant. The free battery that Gary Eddy of Battery Giant sent me turned out to be an old expired one or possibly used one. So maybe it would be a wise choice to stay away from Battery Giant!
#13 Jan 25, 2011
Dan,I am a long time Battery Giant customer. Most of the times that I have dealt with them have been positive.What you seem to forget is nobody is perfect not even you.I have met Gary Eddy and he is the Operations Manager. He is a very pleasant person to deal with. After reading your posts on Topix, I find you to be very negative. It seem nobody can please you. Dan ,you sound like a bitter old man. Now I don't know you personally. But that image comes out of your posts. I am also an old man also. I'm not trying insult you. I have horrible service many times. But I don't dwell on it. Being positive is way better. Dan, lots of time it's the way you look at things. It sounds like Gary Eddy tried remedy the situation. Are you sure that the battery he sent you is bad? That doesn't make sense.
#15 Jan 26, 2011
Thanks Dan. I needed a good laugh and I knew I could count on you to give one. Your paranoia is almost to the point of being scary. Not everyone works at the stores you review. Everyone is allowed to their own opinion, just as you. I didn't get a chance to see the comments on yelp, apparently they have been taken down, but I've read your comments on topix here and if they are any indication of your personality, I can see why people give you a hard time. You give a place one chance and if they don't meet your high expectations, you ream them out using the excuse you're single. Everybody has bad days Dan. Have you ever given anyone a second chance. No one is perfect except Jesus. Oh and by the way, Gene said nothing negative to you or about you and you ripped him apart. I think that was wrong. I will be praying for you Dan, maybe someday something will ease your pain
Since: Jan 11
#16 Jan 26, 2011
Hey Larry - Pleased don't bring Jesus into this discussion. And also learn how to read, since Gene did call me a "bitter old man" I cannot figure why you and Gene have nothing better to do but defend Battery Giant and other companies that probably deserve a little attention when they have bad customers service.

Battery Giant does not stand behind their product.
I purchased an AGM type replacement battery (from Battery Giant) for my Polaris Sportsman 700 ATV, for $109.95,just under a year ago. The battery seemed to work fine when it was new, but seemed to gradually lose power over the time,even though I use the machine year round, and now that we are having our first large snowfall of the year and I need to plow, the battery won't power up at all. I started by taking my bad battery to the store that was closest to me; the clerk told me that I had to have the original reciept in order to help me, so I asked if he could please look it up. He asked if I purchased it from his store; I replied "No" he told me that the Battery Giant stores are like islands and that I was going to have to go back to the store in which I purchased it from. I searched for my reciept, but couldn't find it, so I called the store in which I purchased the Battery from; they told me that they moved their store, supposedly transferring all of the customer based information; however, they somehow conveniently could not find any of my information. They told me to bring the battery to their new location and they could sopposedly tell the age of the battery. When I got there they checked the battery, told me that it was completely dead,and that the battery was well beyond the warrenty,so they attempted to charge it over a four hour period then eventually told me that it would never hold a full charge and that I needed to purchase a new one at full price. While I was waiting for the battery to charge, I spoke to a close co-worker who happens to have many recreational vehicles; as I complained about what was happening at Battery Giant, he replied that he would never go back there because none of the batteries that he purchased ever lasted over 1 year, funny that that's the warrenty period that they offer, and mind you that this guy is anal about taking care of his stuff. Bottom line, don't waste your time or money on Battery Giant. I work for the Big three and have hundreds of co-workers that I plan to tell my story, so you may have screwed me once (Battery Giant) but in the end, you are screwing your own business.
#18 Dec 26, 2012
I was blasted quite a while ago for giving Battery Giant, on Mound road in Sterling Heights, a bad review - and ....even Jesus Christ came in for a hit also! A short time after I gave that bad review, the store closed. Enough said!

How to Recover a Fully Discharged Lead Acid Battery
By James Stevens, eHow Contributor
Print this article
The best way to recover your battery is to charge it slowly.
Lead-acid batteries need to be kept charged otherwise the cells can be permanently damaged. If you have a fully discharged lead-acid battery, the best way to recover it is to charge it very slowly using a "trickle" charge. This lets the individual cells recover and means the battery retains its charge. If you charge a fully discharged lead-acid battery quickly it's likely to lose its charge. Check the battery cell caps for removal. If the caps come off, verify fluid level inside the battery.

I frequently shop at Battery Giant on Mound and 12-mile, this store used to be located on Mound and 17 mile. It appears they did not close they moved to a larger more populated location.
Lead acid batteries will not remain charged with infrequent use, they will deteriorate you must use a battery tender and maintain the voltage above 12.2 volts otherwise sulfation will deteriorate the battery.
Operating your ATV, motorcycle, snowmobile once a week or month will not properly charge the battery and the battery will self-destruct from sulfation.
Several battery tenders have desulfation modes that can reverse the sulfation. The one that I prefer is the NOCO Genius. If the Genius detects sulfation it will automatically desulfate the battery.

Sulfation and How to Prevent it
Sulfation occurs when a lead acid battery is deprived of a full charge. This is common with starter batteries in cars driven in the city with load-hungry accessories. A motor in idle or at low speed cannot charge the battery sufficiently.
Electric wheelchairs have a similar problem in that the users might not charge the battery long enough. An eight-hour charge during the night when the chair is free is not enough. Lead acid must periodically be charged 1416 hours to attain full saturation. This may be the reason why wheelchair batteries last only two years, whereas golf car batteries deliver twice the service life. Longer leisure time allows golf car batteries to get the fully saturated charge.
Solar cells and wind turbines do not always provide sufficient charge, and lead acid banks succumb to sulfation. This happens in remote parts of the world where villagers draw generous amounts of electricity with insufficient renewable resources to charge the batteries. The result is a short battery life. Only a periodic fully saturated charge could solve the problem, but without an electrical grid at their disposal, this is almost impossible. An alternative is using lithium-ion, a battery that is forgiving to a partial charge, but this would cost about six-times as much as lead acid.
What is sulfation? During use, small sulfate crystals form, but these are normal and are not harmful. During prolonged charge deprivation, however, the amorphous lead sulfate converts to a stable crystalline that deposits on the negative plates. This leads to the development of large crystals, which reduce the batterys active material that is responsible for high capacity and low resistance. Sulfation also lowers charge acceptance. Sulfation charging will take longer because of elevated internal resistance.
There are two types of sulfation: reversible (or soft sulfation), and permanent (or hard sulfation). If a battery is serviced early, reversible sulfation can often be corrected by applying an overcharge to a fully charged battery in the form of a regulated current of about 200mA. The battery terminal voltage is allowed to rise to between 2.50 and 2.66V/cell (15 and 16V on a 12V mono block) for about 24 hours. Increasing the battery temperature to 5060°C (122140°F) further helps in dissolving the crystals. Permanent sulfation sets in when the battery has been in a low state-of-charge for weeks or months. At this stage, no form of restoration is possible.
There is a fine line between reversible and non-reversible sulfation, and most batteries have a little bit of both. Good results are achievable if the sulfation is only a few weeks old; restoration becomes more difficult the longer the battery is allowed to stay in a low SoC. A sulfated battery may improve marginally when applying a de-sulfation service. A subtle indication of whether a lead acid can be recovered is visible on the voltage discharge curve. If a fully charged battery retains a stable voltage profile on discharge, chances of reactivation are better than if the voltage drops rapidly with load.
Several companies offer anti-sulfation devices that apply pulses to the battery terminals to prevent and reverse sulfation. Such technologies tend to lower sulfation on a healthy battery but they cannot effectively reverse the condition once present. Manufacturers offering these devices take the one size fits all approach and the method is unscientific. A random service of pulsing or blindly applying an overcharge can harm the battery in promoting grid corrosion. Technologies are being developed that measure the level of sulfation and apply a calculated overcharge to dissolve the crystals. Chargers featuring this technique only apply de-sulfation if sulfation is present and only for the time needed.

Velasquez Ready For Title Shot? Dana Agrees
It was a monumental night for Cain Velasquez at UFC 110. He knocked out Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to place himself on the perch as a title contender, and a shot could come as soon as later this year.
With Shane Carwin and Frank Mir set to do battle in a five-round interim title fight next month at UFC 111, UFC president Dana White reiterated the winner of that bout would be the next top challenger, but confirmed Velasquez is ready for his shot as well.
"The heavyweight division is more exciting than it's been in years. It just keeps getting better and better," White said. "Obviously it's great that Brock Lesnar is back now so we'll see what happens with Frank Mir and (Shane) Carwin. See who wins that and if the guys come out unscathed, they'll fight for the title, if not then Cain Velasquez will get that slot."
White went on to praise Velasquez for his performance over a fighter he called possibly the greatest heavyweight of all time in Nogueira.
"Cain Velasquez went out and absolutely finished him, and looked completely dominant," White commented. "In my opinion, better than he's ever looked. The kid gets better every time he fights."
While always remaining humble, Velasquez did speak up about his place as a top contender in the heavyweight division.
"I think so," Velasquez answered when asked if he thought he deserved a title shot. "Whatever the UFC says, I'm going to be ready for it."
The world's attention will now turn to the March 27 fight between Carwin and former champion Mir. If the winner of that bout can't go during the summer then Velasquez will get called up to face Lesnar.
"possibly the greatest heavyweight of all time"?
I remember hearing that there was a guy out there who's 31-1 (or something like that) and has beaten Nogueira twice, but what do I know.
But yes, Cain absolutely deserves a title shot. Been absolutely dominant in every fight he's ever had.
Very interesting division now
Basically 5 guys who are all in contention (or the champ in Brocks case)
Dana says Cain is ready for a shot but carwin and Mir are first, so what is cain going to do?
Wait for Mir/Carwin then Mir/Brock (my opinion ;) )then Cain fights the winner? , that's going to be a lay off for him.
Cain needs to fight in the meantime but you can't give him someone not worthy so it's only JDS for me, but that is a tasty tasty fight and if JDS were to win, CAIN is out od immediate contention.
Imo, they should give the shot to Cain first, then Mir/Carwin or JDS. Well, but it depends when does Lesnar actually come back too.
Not a fan but Cain has definitely done more than enough to earn a title shot. I think a fight between him and Frank Mir would be more interesting than a fight between him and Brock, as I can see Lesnar throwing him around and pounding him out, tbh. Lesnar's a near 300lbs hunk of a bloke with as good, if not better wrestling than Valesques. Standing up, they are even at this point. But as far as grappling goes Brock has the advantage.
Cain should face the JDS/GG winner (JDS)...or face Cro Cop...yeah baby, why not.
In reality, Fedor needs to get his butt into the UFC and face them all!
Wrestling wise I'd probably put them about even. Lesnar's sheer size could be the difference maker in grappling exchanges. Just my take.

Opening with David Mancuso's seminal "Love Saves the Day" Valentine's party, Tim Lawrence tells the definitive story of American dance music culture in the 1970s--from its subterranean roots in NoHo and Hell's Kitchen to its gaudy blossoming in midtown Manhattan to its wildfire transmission through America's suburbs and urban hotspots such as Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Newark, and Miami.
Tales of nocturnal journeys, radical music making, and polymorphous sexuality flow through the arteries of "Love Saves the Day" like hot liquid vinyl. They are interspersed with a detailed examination of the era's most powerful djs, the venues in which they played, and the records they loved to spin--as well as the labels, musicians, vocalists, producers, remixers, party promoters, journalists, and dance crowds that fueled dance music's tireless engine.
"Love Saves the Day" includes material from over three hundred original interviews with the scene's most influential players, including David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Tom Moulton, Loleatta Holloway, Giorgio Moroder, Francis Grasso, Frankie Knuckles, and Earl Young. It incorporates more than twenty special dj discographies--listing the favorite records of the most important spinners of the disco decade--and a more general discography cataloging some six hundred releases. "Love Saves the Day" also contains a unique collection of more than seventy rare photos.
"Love Saves the Day is what we need for generations to come: it's the real history of dance music and dj/club culture."-Louie Vega, dj/producer, Masters At Work & Nuyorican Soul "As authoritative as it is gossipy, Love Saves the Day is the ultimate backstage view of disco, the underground phenomenon that ended up defining a decade. Tim Lawrence talked to virtually everyone who shaped '70s urban nightlife, but he keeps his prime focus on the djs who created its seductive soundtrack. With them as your witty, opinionated guides, you'll find yourself well past the velvet ropes, deep inside a scene that has never been so thoroughly or lovingly illuminated."-Vince Aletti, Village Voice "At last disco gets the history it deserves. Tim Lawrence tells the story of ten years that shook the musical world with the scholar's concern for detail and the fan's concern for honor. Great tales of the humble and the ahubristic, of money, sex, and the utopia of the sound system. Illuminating and moving."-Simon Frith, author of Performing Rites: On the Value of Popular Music "At long last, a candid, detailed, and authoritative look back on one of dance music's most seminal moments in time. This book on the genesis of the movement in 1970s New York will delight anyone from the researcher wanting some serious unbiased fact-checking all the way to the casual music lover curious for juicy anecdotes. It's about time!"-Francois K., dj and founder and president of Wave Music "I wish I'd written it myself."-Barry Walters, Senior Music Critic, Rolling Stone

Need Funding? Head To Zappos CEO's New Community In Las Vegas
If you're ready to live and grow a business in Sin City, you might find a potential investor in your next venture.
When I was recently visiting Tony Hsieh and his new redevelopment of the older part of Las Vegas, I stopped by to talk to the team at Downtown Project. Alongside investment in real estate, culture, retail and learning, the Zappos CEO has set aside $50 million to invest in start-ups that will make the city their home. I spoke to Andy White a partner at the tech fund at Downtown Project about the investment into the city:
What has a tech fund got to do with the redevelopment of downtown Las Vegas?
We understand the importance of the entire ecosystem. You can't have any one of these, without the others and have it be sustainable. Part of the reason that Las Vegas got hit so hard in a downturn was that we don't have a very diverse economy. Once the one industry got hit, all of the house of cards fell. Our goal is to try and help rectify that.
We know that tech or, more specifically, high rate growth business provides your best opportunity to grow and expand that rapidly. We are looking for founding teams that are focused on community first. Give before you get, understanding that we help each other along the way and that it's not just about giving back once you are successful.
What does this fund mean for the local community?
We are looking for companies that will be located in downtown Las Vegas that will be building out upwardly mobile positions, so that their employees have opportunities to grow with the company, they can advance and gain new experience throughout that. We're not looking for someone relocating their call center division to here. That's not the type of thing that we're investing on.
Are you expecting those startups to be focusing their product around Las Vegas?
No, not at all. In fact, that would probably be a bit of a detriment to them. I mean, if you're doing something where Las Vegas would be the focus, then that's going to be something very difficult to scale. That kind of defeats it. There are certainly advantages to being in Las Vegas and we're all for people wanting to be a part of it.
What are those advantages?
For specifically what's happening downtown right now, we have an incredible opportunity to be a part of building out the infrastructure for the city and being a part of that next phase of what we've become.
With a fairly clean slate?
Yes, exactly.
What existing infrastructure is there in Las Vegas to support a start-up community?
We already have important infrastructure. We've got good power grid, we've got incredible Internet access and data hosting facilities.
And then, of course, there's the traditional advantage of Nevada with the no income tax, low cost of living, housing opportunities, and those are an additional part of it. But the most important part is that everyone understands the why behind what we're doing, believes in that vision and wants to be a part of making this change.
We need a lot of different people helping in many ways and it's not only on your business, it's about being a part of the community and having a special interest, having friends and people that you can collaborate with.
Can you tell us about some of the companies that you've supported so far?
Two of our 11 companies have already raised to series A – Romotive and Ecomom. Beyond that, the others are in very early seed stage, we've got several that are getting good traction and could be to that point soon. And just a lot of really great dynamic teams, some very big variety in what we're doing.
There's no specific focus – it's quite broad?
Yeah. You can't do economic diversification by being focused on a particular industry.
Ecomom is about green products. They do the testing and reviews and can show you that this fits your criteria for purchase. It's eco‑friendly. It's safe. It doesn't do animal testing, whatever those things are that are important to you. You check those off to make sure that all the products that you are buying fit that particular desire.
Romotive build smart phone powered robots. They've just announced their second version of the robot. They are doing a Kickstarter project, which is already fully funded. But they're looking to exceed those goals. You plug an iPhone into the robot. It builds out your personality for your particular robot. Then you can control it with another smart device, and use it as telepresence. You can also dig into it and program it to different types of activities and personalities. It's a pretty cool little thing.
It will be interesting to follow what you guys do and how the community develops.
We feel like this is being looked at in a little different way with the latest amount of data that we have. We don't have any legacy coming from, "This is how we've always done things." So we're looking at everything in a new light. But if we can execute on this stuff in Las Vegas where we don't have a set of major universities, we don't have major sports teams, we don't have any specific natural resource that is here.
Do you think that the learnings you have here could be applied elsewhere?
Yeah, absolutely. We're already learning from other communities that there's a constant dialogue going on, back and forth, and we want to share everything that we do learn, both good and bad. Anything that we can do here will hopefully be able to be recreated in other places with your own bit of change to it to meet the resources that you do have. But yeah, this is an incredible opportunity in this day and age to be able to share the knowledge as easily as we can.
How has Las Vegas reacted to you?
We have a tremendous number of visitors each week coming through for various pieces of the ecosystem. It's great. What's really nice is that's already a part of the fabric of Las Vegas, so we're not having to create that. It's just a matter of really fostering it and we're definitely getting it more focused. You create the atmosphere, and when you get the people in the room to be open to building these connections, they happen. We already have a great set of amazing stories, people that, both live in New York, had heard of each other but never connected, and now they come out to Las Vegas and they get to know each other. Or different parts of the country or they met here and are now connected.
We've had friends come through town that were just visiting and get job offers and end up staying and they now live in Las Vegas. We've had cofounders where one of the founders was here in Las Vegas, the other cofounder came out for a visit and they decided that, yeah, this is where they need to relocate.
No funding, no extra promise of anything, it's just this is a dynamic community that we love and we think this is the best place for us to build our business. That's what we want to continue. There's a place here for anyone who really believes in the mission and understands the why behind what we're doing and is passionate about it, then there's a place for you within what we're doing right now and every opportunity to make something happen.
It's just, it's a pretty amazing feeling to be a part of that.
Thanks Andy for taking time to share details on an amazing project and the work that you do. I wish you all good luck!

New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi reportedly went out of his way to try to spare Alex Rodriguez's feelings during the playoffs. According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, Girardi called the Yankees public address announcer to have A-Rod's name omitted from the announcement when Eric Chavez pinch-hit for the aging slugger during the postseason. Typically, pinch hit announcements include both the new batter and the player he is replacing in the lineup. In this case, A-Rod's name wasn't mentioned in the stadium. Yankees GM Brian Cashman reportedly confirmed to Heyman that Girardi made the call. Rodriguez was pinch-hit for on consecutive nights during the ALDS against the Baltimore Orioles. The first time was after he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Game 3. Raul Ibanez replaced him and hit two home runs to help the Yankees win 3-2 in 12 innings. A-Rod seemed to take things fine and was the biggest cheerleader in the dugout after being replaced. Rodriguez was replaced by Chavez the next night after going 1-for-4 with a walk in a 2-1 loss to the Orioles in Game 4. A-Rod was also pinch-hit for during a 6-4 loss to the Tigers in Game 1 of the ALCS. He was 0-for-3 with a strikeout before Eric Chavez hit for him. Strangely, he also served as a pinch-hitter replacing Ibanez when the Yanks were eliminated in Game 4 of the ALCS. They each went 0-for-2. Rodriguez spoke positively about Girardi throughout the playoffs despite being replaced by pinch-hitters and eventually benched. He said Girardi had built up a lot of equity with him. It's considerate moves like this that make us see why A-Rod would feel strongly about his manager. Say what you want about the whole thing, but that's a really considerate move by Girardi. It's nice to hear about another side of him after the August incident. Photo Credit: Aristide Economopoulos/THE STAR-LEDGER via US PRESSWIRE

The Bride Wore a White Sheet
Meet Cynthia Reese and Michael Bof. This was their wedding day. It wasn't quite what they'd originally planned, but they're more than happy with it.
You see, a few weeks after Cynthia and Michael got engaged, they discovered Cynthia was pregnant. Figuring they would need the money they might have spent on a wedding more for raising their first child, the pair decided that sometime before the baby was born, they would just head down to City Hall for a bare bones wedding.
Then again, there didn't seem to be a particular hurry… that is there wasn't until monday when, at seven months pregnant, Cynthia's water broke and she was rushed to the hospital in premature labor.

Amazing Opportunity-Now You Can Own the Very Best of the Best!
Morgan Silver Dollars are arguably the most popular collector coins ever minted anywhere by anybody. Among Morgan Dollars, those struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1881 are argued by some top numismatists to be some of the highest quality ever produced. But they were made 130 years ago, and finding one graded Mint State-67 (MS67) is next to impossible. In fact, of all the Morgan Dollars graded by PCGS and NGC, less than 1% grade MS67 and higher! You can now own the 1881-S Morgans in stunning Mint State-67 (MS67) condition graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). Don't miss this opportunity to own the cream of the crop. Grading service varies.

Infection from Caesarean
By Kidspot Team |
The most common infection that can occur is an infection of the lining of the uterus, called 'endometritis'. This tends to happen for about 9% of women with planned Caesareans, and up to 27% of women if the Caesarean was unplanned. It is now recognised that the routine use of giving a few doses of antibiotics through the drip in the woman's vein (after the baby is born) can decrease the chances of developing an infection of the uterus by 50 to 75%, as well as reducing other infections that can occur as a result of the operation.
Other infections can include an infection of the stitches (about 7%). Women who are overweight for their height are at an increased risk of developing a wound infection. Or an infection of the bladder from having a catheter inserted. On rare occasions an abscess can form inside the woman's abdomen that needs to be drained to treat it.
Occasionally the epidural or spinal anaesthetic site where the needle or tube was inserted can get infected or the site on the woman's arm where the drip was put into the vein.
If an infection does develop the woman will often be prescribed antibiotics through a drip in the vein and / or tablets, after the drip has been removed. It can also mean a longer stay in the hospital (10 to 12 days rather than 5 to 7 days).
Sometimes an infection will not become noticeable until you are home. This could mean being re-admitted to the hospital for a few days to have intravenous antibiotics (they will usually let the baby room in with you), or having some antibiotic tablets to take at home.
Around 19% of women will develop a fever within a few days after a Caesarean birth, known as 'postoperative fever'. This may or may not be directly linked to an actual infection, but may be treated as one with the caregiver prescribing antibiotics 'just in case'.
Resting, getting physical and emotional support and help with the baby, eating a well balanced diet, including immune boosting foods such as garlic and orange juice (Vitamin C) can help your body recover and reduce your chances of developing an infection after a Caesarean. Some women will use certain herbal or homoeopathic remedies to assist in boosting and supporting their immune system. You may wish to consult a qualified practitioner.
The average blood loss from a Caesarean birth is about 500 to 1000 mls, compared to about 250 mls for a vaginal birth. A loss of 600+mls for a vaginal birth is classified as a haemorrhage, but is regarded as 'normal' for a Caesarean.
Women who have a Caesarean birth are more likely to be anaemic (low haemoglobin) due to the blood loss from the operation. They are more likely to be tired and have less energy (in combination with recovering from a major operation). The chances of needing a blood transfusion are also increased with a Caesarean birth.
Consider taking some sort of iron supplements for 4 to 6 weeks after the birth if you have had a Caesarean. Eat iron rich foods and rest as much as possible.

Hello Peter, Jiri,
I know qemu version is 1.0, but I want to confirm which version qemu-kvm and libvirt are? the current bug is ON_QA status, however, I can't find any libvirt version on 'Fixed In Version:' field.
Hey Alex,
This was fixed prior to the rebase, so any recent libvirt version will have support for it. You'd also need a non-RHEL qemu to test.
Marking this CLOSED->UPSTREAM, since this is fixed upstream & RHEL does not support running custom built QEMU binaries.
Fair enough

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is certain Robin van Persie will improve Manchester United and has once again stated his belief the Red Devils should be seen as the favourites for this season's Barclays Premier League title.
It was confirmed this morning that Van Persie's move from Arsenal to United was complete, with the Dutchman putting pen-to-paper on a four-year deal at Old Trafford.
The capture of last term's Golden Boot winner represents a bold statement of intent on the part of United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who is on a mission in 2012-13 to reclaim the Premier League crown his side were pipped to in dramatic fashion by their derby rivals City in May.
A week ago Mancini had already labelled Ferguson's men as favourites to win the title, and speaking today at a press conference to preview City's league campaign opening home clash with Southampton on Sunday, he made it clear his feeling on the matter had only grown stronger.
Asked if it was even more so the case that United should have the favourites tag with Van Persie among their ranks, Mancini said: "Yes, for sure, and I was serious when I said this last week because United have played for the title always, every year for 20 years.
"Although we won the last championship, we can't change this in one year.
"For this reason, I think they are favourites for the title, and now they have Van Persie - he is a really top player, the best striker last year.
"With Wayne Rooney, they will have one of the best couple of strikers in the Premier League."
Questions have been raised over the reported £24million fee for Van Persie, who is 29 and has suffered with injury problems in the past, but Mancini is in no doubt that United are better off for having the Holland striker.
He said: "I think Van Persie is one of the best strikers in the world. I am sure they are better with him. Anybody who bought him would be better."
It was felt Mancini wanted to sign Van Persie himself, although he claims it was not a realistic possibility.
"I felt he was going to stay at Arsenal or sign for another team, but not us," he said.
"We already have four strikers. It was impossible for us to sign another one."
The one player City have recruited this summer is England international Jack Rodwell, who could be set for his debut in Sunday's game, a week after his transfer from Everton was announced.
Last Friday Mancini had said he was "not happy" that his efforts to strengthen his squad up to that point had been frustrated, adding: "You have to speak to our sporting director (Brian Marwood), not me."
But after Rodwell's official unveiling this morning, the Italian insisted he had no problem with Marwood and expressed his optimism that City would do further business before the end of the transfer window.
"What I said last time was not because I had a problem with Brian - I don't," Mancini said.
"But when you are a manager, you want maybe sometimes to buy a player quickly. At the same time I know it is difficult because the market is difficult.
"It was important to start with one (signing) and now it is important to think about the game on Sunday.
"Then we have about 10 days until the end of the market and I think we will do (more business) - I am sure."
Rodwell, who Mancini regards primarily as a midfield option but also as a possible one in central defence, is joining an already star-studded squad and says he is ready for the potential battle he faces to hold down a place in the team.
"It is going to be a challenge and I am up for that challenge," Rodwell said.
"There are great players here and I want to learn from them and improve my game."
The 21-year-old has struggled with hamstring problems in recent times but says he is fit, with Mancini set to run the rule over him in training before deciding the extent of his potential involvement against the Saints.
Rodwell said: "Physically I am good. I had a couple of injuries last season, but that is all in the past now and I've had a good pre-season, so I'm raring to go."
Mancini will also assess the fitness of goalkeeper Joe Hart, who could return after missing last Sunday's 3-2 Community Shield victory over Chelsea due to a back complaint, while defender Micah Richards (ankle) and midfielder Gareth Barry (abdominal problem) are definitely ruled out.
Meanwhile, City have today confirmed Ferran Soriano as their new chief executive.

BMW of Mount Laurel refused to give me my car's DAVIS records
So it's somewhat of a long story, and if you want more of a rough idea of the details you can read my recent yelp review at:
But to summarize, I went to the BMW of Mt Laurel Dealership earlier today, per the service manager's request when he called me, late morning, in response to my review. We go on a test drive in the car, which I am all too familiar with, and during which I discuss the issues I am claiming against their dealership. We get back to the dealership, go to his office and talk a bit, ultimately I ask for my vehicle's DAVIS records and he refuses to give them to me!
1) First, is this even legal since it was a brand new car purchase? (2013 535xi black with cinnamon interior, if you're curious) and I am the sole owner? I freaking even convinced my younger brother to buy the same car a year later...(2014 though) from the same dealership. Why would they do this?
2) Can these records be deleted by anyone, including BMW NA, AG? They wouldn't even give me my key history report!! Does anyone know _absolutely_ that this data is completely unalterable??
If anyone has experience with this at all I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Welcome to Bimmerfest. I've moved your question over to our dealer feedback forum. Please leave your review in our BMW dealer rater system as well -
What is a DAVIS record?
Your YELP review and dealer response are from May, 2014. Were you invited in there just yesterday? What has your experience been with the dealer and the car since May?

All I can say is based on your other Yelp reviews you are a rather demanding customer. Tough.
And I never heard of a "Davis Record" either. Is it computerized? Maybe another service department at another dealership might get them for you. West German BMW or BMW of the Main Line?

That should link to the review. And DAVIS records are the dealership's/BMW's internal records that help determine if a car is becoming a lemon (DAVIS days = number of days in the shop). I could probably get it from another dealer (hopefully) since I am the sole owner, or at least you'd think, but then why did I buy the car from this dealership and give them my business...I bought my first bmw (pre-certified 7 series) from Princeton BMW, Mt Laurel basically made fun of me while I serviced it with them day in and day out, only to finally buy a new car from them and pray for better luck. And it was perfect...up until they started trying to defraud me. And yes I am posting a complete FRAUD warning about this dealership. At least on their service side.
So as I was leaving, I realized Sal (service manager) only gave me one page of my current key history report, so I walked back to get the rest. The girl at the desk prints out the other 2 pages, and as she's about to give me the whole history report, he literally came out running telling her 'I can't have that.' And mind you I am one of the quietest/nicest people usually, and I have always been polite and respect in dealing with them.
Scam artists extraordinaire if you ask me. I heard my front rotors grinding at 31k miles, they want to keep my car over the weekend (probably just a reprogramming according to them). They claim it was just a reprogramming, when I picked my car up, it felt like it had thicker brakes in the front....and my entire data/CBS system was shut off. The concierge I payed for didn't work, no service system functionality, no CBS, no anything...everything was grayed out. And that's when I began to start wondering what was really going on.

Dealers are not allowed to disclose Vehicle History data, Key Data, or DAVIS information to third parties, including the owner of the vehicle. You can ask them to read you the information, but they cannot print it off and hand it to you. Unfortunately, the service manager was correct on this.
So, I tried reading your Yelp stuff, and it seems like there is a TON of information left out. You claim you love BMW, but then you feel like they are defrauding you because they use cheap brake pads and limited oil changes? So are you mad at the dealer or BMWNA for their maintenance program? Who defrauded you and how?
What is the problem with the suspension? Under warranty, the car cannot be repaired with anything besides new OEM BMW parts. Why do you continue to go to this same dealer if they are so terrible?
Seems like there is another side of the story........

Amidst—and with profound respect for—the celebration of Chief Justice Rehnquist's life and legacy and the mourning of his loss, I would like to reflect briefly on the President's new, and excellent, nomination of John Roberts to succeed his former boss as Chief Justice.
This nomination is interesting because the short-term political arguments against it are substantial. Although the initial nomination of Roberts to replace O'Connor was generating more Democratic opposition than some initially anticipated, it was proceeding on track. A cautious approach would have let it proceed. Instead, the new nomination has already led to some delay in the hearing, and it will also give Senate Democrats some seemingly neutral (but spurious) arguments to hide behind in opposing Roberts.
The new nomination also re-opens the matter of replacing O'Connor. Although the arguments for "maintaining the current balance" on the Court are contrived and intellectually bankrupt, they undoubtedly have some political sound-bite appeal. The President impressively ignored these arguments when he first nominated Roberts, and he deserves our trust that he will do so again and select the candidate he regards as best qualified for the position.
Why, then, did the President make this new nomination? My guess is that the White House's Plan A from months ago was premised on a Rehnquist resignation and that Roberts was the President's leading contender for Chief Justice. With Rehnquist's death this past weekend, the President simply reverted to Plan A—and, by replacing Rehnquist with one of his former clerks, also paid special honor to the Rehnquist legacy. A collateral benefit, of course, is that the pool of candidates regarded as suitable for the now-open Associate Justice position is significantly larger than the pool would have been for the Chief Justice position.
If my speculation is correct, this is further encouraging evidence that the President makes these decisions with the long term in mind and bases them heavily on principle rather than politics.

Eric Byrnes has been a valuable commodity for manager Bob Melvin,
who has relied upon Byrnes to play all three outfield spots this season
as well as move up and down in the batting order to fill holes when
certain players aren't producing in various roles.
"Wherever we have a problem in the order, if I need to get a spot
going or whatever it is, Eric Byrnes ends up in that spot," Melvin said.
Byrnes has always been capable of doing that, but he's become a more
complete hitter this season, according to Melvin, who notes the
player's improved on-base percentage, number of walks, and amount of times
he's hit the ball to the opposite field.
"He realized, too, he can get better," Melvin said. "He's been
working hard with 'Seitz' (hitting coach Kevin Seitzer) since Day One of
spring training about hitting the ball the other way and doing some
situational things that in the past probably hasn't been his strong suit.
"But it's a comfort to me to know if we have a problem, be it in the
No. 4 hole and we have a guy out of the lineup and I'm looking for a
guy in that spot, he's the guy I plug in there. Defensively and
offensively, he brings the same intensity, that play-with-your-hair-on-fire type
of thing every game, and yet he can acclimate to different roles,
different positions.
"He's been a very, very good player for us."
Byrnes went 2-for-4 with two RBIs in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over
visiting Philadelphia. In his first at-bat, he smacked a 473-foot homer
into the upper deck in left field off Adam Eaton. It tied Philadelphia's
Scott Rolen for the second-longest homer ever hit in the 10-year history
of Chase Field. The longest was a 503-foot smash off the JumboTron in
center by Arizona's Richie Sexson on April 26, 2004, against the Cubs.
DIAMONDBACKS 3, PHILLIES 2: Tony Clark hit the eighth pinch home run
of his career Tuesday, sending a solo shot 457 feet to right field for
the go-ahead run in the seventh inning as Arizona won its third
straight game.
Eric Byrnes also hit a mammoth homer, sending an Adam Eaton fastball
473 feet into the upper deck in left field, tying the second-longest
homer ever hit at Chase Field.
"It's a pretty cool thing when you think about all the players who
have played here," Byrnes said. "That was pretty unbelievable,
definitely something to brag about around the campfire."
Rookie right-hander Micah Owings allowed two earned runs in seven
innings for his second career victory.
--INF Chad Tracy made his first start in seven games Thursday, but
it wasn't at third base. Tracy started at first. Manager Bob Melvin
wanted Tracy's bat in the lineup against the Phillies after the infielder,
who had been sidelined due to a ribcage strain, put up a good at-bat as
a pinch hitter the previous night. Playing first base would help
prevent him aggravating the injury, Melvin said, by Tracy not having to make
long, hard throws from third.
"He wouldn't be out there if we didn't think he could handle it,"
Melvin said.
Tracy likely will get the day off Wednesday against LHP Jamie Moyer.
Following Thursday's off day, he probably will start at third base
Friday in Houston when the Diamondbacks begin a nine-game trip.
--OF Jeff DaVanon, who hasn't played since last season following
left ankle and right shoulder surgeries, is scheduled to report to
extended spring training in Tucson on Thursday. He will be used strictly as a
designated hitter for the first few days before playing in the
outfield. After a few games there, he will join Class AAA Tucson for a rehab
--RHP Juan Cruz, who has been bothered by a sore shoulder, began a
rehab assignment with Class AAA Tucson on Tuesday.
--2B Orlando Hudson is the only Arizona player to start all 34 games
this season, and it could be awhile before he's given a day off by
manager Bob Melvin.
"I haven't been able to," Melvin said, "and I don't want to right
now. He doesn't look like he's tired. It's more his performance that has
kept him in there every day."
--Manager Bob Melvin on Phillies LHP Jamie Moyer, 44, whom he
managed in Seattle and who starts against Arizona on Wednesday: "He's
constantly coming up with new tricks, and that's why he's able to stay
successful. Back in '92, '93, '94, it looked liked like it might be his last
years, but he's studied the game well enough, he knows himself well
enough, and he's always trying to better himself. The last few years, the
cutter has been the pitch for him. ... It wouldn't surprise me if he
pitches for a couple more years."
BY THE NUMBERS: 13 -- Consecutive games lost by the Diamondbacks at
home to the Mets -- a streak dating back to May 2004 -- until Arizona
finally broke through with a 3-1 victory on May 6 at Chase Field. The
major league record for a consecutive win streak by one team at one
particular visiting city is 19, set by the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947-48 at
the Cincinnati Reds.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "He's been our best player, no question. At this
point in time, he is one of the premier players in the National League. ...
He's certainly found a home there. He's accountable in that spot. He
knows that the No. 3 guy is the guy you really look to, and generally,
your best hitter." -- Manager Bob Melvin on 2B Orlando Hudson, who was
leading the club with a .341 batting average after having reached base
safely via a walk or a hit in each of the team's first 33 games.

I heard mention that Windows has its own unzip program. Where is it and how does it work?
Actually, you do not need to open a "program". If you have a zipped file, just double click it.
A menu will open from which you can save individual files to your computer. Just click & drag or copy the file you want and drop it in the desired location. It's that easy!
Now if you're using Windows Vista or 7, simply Right-click the file. You'll see an option to "Extract all".
In Windows XP you'll see a link to "Extract all files" in the left-hand column.
This will open a wizard to guide you through the extraction process. You can choose where you want the files to go, etc.
Did you ever imagine that unzipping file could be so easy?

Another Bad Creation (sometimes called ABC for short) were an American hip hop and new jack swing group from Atlanta, Georgia.
"ABC" is a 1970 number-one hit song by the Jackson 5. It was first heard on American Bandstand (on the ABC network) on February 21, 1970 just before it was released on February 24. "ABC" knocked the Beatles' song Let It Be off the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970, and was also number one on the soul singles chart for four weeks. It was written with the same design as their first 1970 hit I Want You Back.
ABC is the second studio album by The Jackson 5 and was issued on May 8, 1970 by Motown Records. It featured the No. 1 singles, "ABC" and "The Love You Save". Also present on the LP are several notable album tracks including a cover of Funkadelic's "I'll Bet You", "I Found That Girl" (the only lead song from brother Jermaine), and "The Young Folks" originally recorded by the Diana Ross-led version of The Supremes.
