A PEACE TREATY Nippur Scarf in Slate grey
tired of them? i don't. love and collect scarfs, it's almost an obssession and this one will sink into my wardrobe soon! "Founded as a personal treaty between Farah Malik, a Pakistani Muslim, and Dana Arbib, a Libyan Jew, A Peace Treaty creates ethically-produced, hand-crafted accessories and apparel that connects fashion with ancient tradition while supporting and raising awareness of skilled artisans working in places of socio-political conflict. Inspired by the hand-crafting cultures of the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Africa, each seasonal collection focuses on a particular region and accessory and features only a small selection of limited edition pieces."
Like a kings crown, this ring is majestic without being out of control. It looked hand forged which I like the most and the antiquing is a special touch. Love it!Tags: vintage, peace, gorgeous, gold rings, hand forged, Antiqued, peace treaty, bedina engraved ring, peace treaty ringAdded 6 Years Ago from Runawayrunway

The roots of my hair have been oily since I was a young teen, but the ends have only been this dry since I first used a demi-perm hair color this past December. My roots are like the Persian Gulf and my ends are like the Sahara Desert. I wash my hair every other night, but I need to use dry shampoo on the second day.
I'm currently using Suave Professionals Rosemary and Mint shampoo and conditioner, which seem to be working all right.

Pentastar V6 from Mercedes?
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. Did the Pentastar V6 come from Mercedes or co-developed with Mercedes? I know the chassis for the GC is shared with the ML.
I was at a dealership yesterday and the salesman was giving me the speech on the GC and actually stated that the V6 came from Mercedes as well?
Re: Pentastar V6 from Mercedes?
From what I understood, it was co-developed while Chrysler was still a part of Mercedes with Chrysler being the lead designer for it.
Re: Pentastar V6 from Mercedes?
When mercedes owned chrysler.... AKA Daimler Chrysler:
Mercedes did help chrysler with some product development.
Funny how the R Class was so much more popular than the Pacifica but they came about fromt the same idea.
The best way to describe it is to say that some of the newer chyrslers products were very loosely based on past Diamler Benz products.
A good example of how the trickle down engineering worked is the Hemi.
back in the late 90's Mercedes offered a V8 and V6 with the Dual spark and three valves per cylinder.
So pretty much Daimler Benz let Diamler Chrysler use the heads on their own block.
So whereas the Diamler benz products had engine bores lined with a silicone anti wear lining the Diamler Chrysler products didn't get that step.
Another thing you may have noticed is that the engine displacements are usually close the are usually off by 1.
Like the biggest engine in the V8 AMG cars are all AMG 63 but even that is deceptive as sometime they are as large as 6.5
and the SRT V8 are now 6.4 up from 6.1.
Have you ever noticed how much an AMG BENZ sounds like an SRT Mopar?
Wrap your head around this one... some of the late 90's V8 powered 4.3 E class sedans also suffer from "Hemi tick." just like their MOPAR cousins
The Grand cherokee was codeveloped with the current ML class but again it is loosely based.
It would appear they share the same rear lower control arm too. I don't think there is anything else on the ML that can be directly transferred to the grand cherokee.
The single arm control stalk on the steering column is a carry over from mercedes of the past. Look at and older C class or E Class sedan and you will notice how they even look like the plastic is the same.
Lets just say Diamler benz let Diamler Chrysler use alot of left over parts bin items.
So your saleman is not completely wrong nor is he feeding you BS.
Re: Pentastar V6 from Mercedes?
Thanks guys, makes sense.
Re: Pentastar V6 from Mercedes?
Let's start with the 3.6L Pentastar. About the only thing it shares with the Mercedes M276 is a 60º configuration. Doesn't share a block. Doesn't share a head. Doesn't share a piston. Assembly line. Cooling passage, nothing.
The "chassis" of the GC isn't shared with the ML either. The two vehicles, GC and ML were co-developed... for a while. Eventually the two companies went their separate ways even BEFORE the company (thankfully, and FINALLY) split. Some parts and other things will look similar between the two vehicles, but they are nowhere near the same.
Re: Pentastar V6 from Mercedes?
You are either grasping at straws or trolling. IMHO of course.
And thankfully Chrysler has ditched that 'awesome' FOBIK system that Daimler foisted on them.

Easing into the New Year isn't really an option for a technology journalist, or in fact for anyone in the technology industry, since every year kicks off with the biggest event in the technology industry's calendar - the Consumer Electronics Show. CES is a real assault on your senses, and despite many people thinking that it must be great fun, it's also exhausting. Of course that doesn't mean I don't enjoy immersing myself in all the latest technology breakthroughs every January.
CES is also a good indicator of the state of the industry, and in the current economic climate I found myself wondering how the show would look and feel this year as I flew out to Las Vegas. What I found when I arrived was one of the best organised shows of recent memory, and certainly one that I found easier to navigate and report from than in previous years.
There was no doubt that numbers were down at CES this year, but it's debatable as to whether the missing attendees were meant to be there in the first place. This year it definitely felt that the majority of people had a genuine reason to be there, rather than a need for a jolly to Vegas.
It felt a bit surreal seeing no presence from Philips, who pulled out of the US TV market completely last year, while an absence of press conferences from the likes of Pioneer and Hitachi also seemed a little strange. That said, the less demanding Press Day schedule meant that online publications like TrustedReviews could get stories written throughout the day, rather than leaving it all until press conference marathon was over.
So what were the highlights of the show? Stumbling across Flatwire was one of the highlights for me. I firmly believe that these paper thin cables will allow for more consumers to install proper home cinema setups. Being able to simply glue your cables to the wall and paint over them is simply inspired. Some may wonder how I can get excited about cables and wires, but if you've ever gone through the hassle of installing a full surround sound setup, especially one with a wall mounted TV, you'll understand.
Another major highlight was the unveiling of the Palm Pre, with its revolutionary new operating system and user interface. Considering that Palm has been pretty much an also ran in the smartphone market for the past few years, no one was expecting anything special from the company's press conference at CES. But what Palm showed the world's waiting press was something very special indeed.
The Palm Pre could provide the best of both worlds, with a hardware keyboard for those who are used to BlackBerry or even Treo devices, but the touch screen user interface is also intuitive to use, much like the iPhone. In fact if our resident News hound and iPhone junkie Gordon is to be believed, Palm's Pre beats the iPhone on many levels - native support for MMS and Bluetooth A2DP instantly spring to mind.

Vegan Diets and Orthorexia: How Should Activists Respond?
Preventing Ex-Vegans: Why Nutrition and Nutritionism Matter
Eating healthy whole foods is important—and so is paying attention to individual nutrients. Lately, though, that's become an unpopular thing to say. It's what food activists like Michael Pollan refer to as "nutritionism." That is, he and others say we should stop worrying so much about nutrients and just eat food (or "real" food as […]
Pinto Beans or Tofurky? How Food Choices and Motivations Affect Vegan Health
When it comes to vegan diets and health, a couple of misconceptions often pop up on blogs and in social media. One is that whole-food plant-based people are healthier than plain old vegans. Related to that is the belief that vegans motivated by ethics choose less healthy diets than those motivated by health. Is it […]
Why Do Some People Fail at Being Vegan?
It's no secret that many people give veganism a try only to quickly abandon it. But the findings from last month's Humane Research Council survey were especially sobering. According to their study, a cross-sectional survey of 11,400 U.S. adults, nearly three-quarters—70% to be exact—of those who have tried a vegan diet end up abandoning it. […]
Do Some People Need to Eat Meat?
It's one of the most frequent questions I get from blog readers: How do we respond to people who insist that they require meat in their diets? I know very well that some vegans struggle with their health, because I hear frequently from those who are looking for help. Most who contact me are animal […]
Ten Tips for Staying Happy and Healthy on a Vegan Diet
There is a long list of reasons why people fail on a vegan diet and return to the world of cheese sandwiches and fish fillets. They might have developed overt deficiencies or vague symptoms of poor health. Some ex-vegans say that they experienced depression or foggy thinking or fatigue without animal foods. Others struggled with […]
Countering Claims Against Vegan Diets
Several months ago, I was asked to respond to an article about the "dangers" of vegan diets that had been published in At the Wedge, the newsletter of the Wedge Community Co-op in Minneapolis. It was written by a holistic nutritionist who, among other things, counsels "recovering vegans." People abandon vegan diets for all kinds […]
Being Picky About Vegan Nutrition
Psychology Today recently published the results of a web-based survey on why vegetarians return to meat-eating.

Do Ex-Vegans' Stories Make the Case Against Vegan Diets?
When I read the recent blog post by Tasha, who used to be The Voracious Vegan, it felt like déjà vu all over again. Just a couple of months ago I was blogging about another woman—Lierre Keith—whose vegan diet made her so sick that she had to go back to eating meat and, in the […]
Review of "The Vegetarian Myth"
Lierre Keith suffers from numerous chronic health problems. Unable to secure a diagnosis for most of them, she decided that the vegan diet she had followed for twenty years was to blame. But she wasn't content to add a few animal products back to her diet. Instead, she set out to prove that healthy diets […]

text: GAITHERSBURG, Md., April 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today GenVec, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNVC) announced that it will implement a one for ten reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split will be effective with respect to stockholders of record at the close of business on Monday, April 18, 2011, and trading of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market will begin on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of trading on Tuesday, April 19, 2011. As a result of the reverse stock split, each ten shares of common stock will be combined into one share of common stock and the total number of shares of common stock outstanding will be reduced from approximately 129.1 million shares to approximately 12.9 million shares. GenVec's stockholders authorized the reverse stock split at a special meeting of stockholders held on April 5, 2011. The primary objective of the reverse stock split is to raise the per share trading price of GenVec's common stock. In particular, this will help the Company to maintain the listing of the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The NASDAQ Capital Market listing standards generally require a per share bid price in excess of $1.00. On November 9, 2010, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ notifying the Company that it must maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 for a period of at least ten consecutive business days prior to May 9, 2011 in order to maintain its listing. Stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fraction of a share that stockholders would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the reverse stock split.

Webinar: Addressing the Needs of Victims in Death Penalty Cases
When Wednesday May 1, 2013 @ 4:30 PM (1519 days ago)
Duration 1 hour 30 minutes
Addressing the Needs of Victims in Death Penalty Cases: The Role and Responsibility of the Defense
What application does restorative justice have in the highly-charged, adversarial context of death penalty cases? Is it possible to do more to engage the families of homicide victims in these cases and in doing so, to help address their needs? What can and should the defense team do in these situations?
In a capital case, victims may receive assistance from victim assistance programs, often associated with the prosecution. However, what they frequently also need is information from the defense as well. In the past two decades a field has emerged that is sometimes called Defense Initiated Victim Outreach (DVO) or Defense Victim Outreach (DVO). DIVO/DVO provides trained victim liaisons to serve as a bridge between victims and the defense team to answer questions, provide information, and generally assist victims to address their needs as they define them.
DIVO/DVO is not usually full restorative justice, but it is informed by restorative justice principles. Although it has been very helpful to many victims, it is challenging, risky and controversial work. In this webinar, three pioneers and leaders in the field will describe the work and some of the possibilities and challenges.
These issues will be explored by guests Tammy Krause, Kelly Branham and Dick Burr. Howard Zehr will facilitate the webinar.
An on-campus viewing of the webinar will take place in Hartzler Library, Room 121.

The 7 Year Glitch
I have just retired and would like to buy a new car that will last me at least 15 years in the price range £17,000 to £22,000 and wondered what your recommendations would be. I have been looking at Mercedes A and B Class, Volkswagen Golf range and the Volvo S40.
Asked on 20 March 2010 by M.B., via e-mail
Answered by Honest John
The only car I have driven recently that I felt would so 500,000 miles was a basic model W204 Mercedes C200 CDI Classic SE 6-speed manual. (The C200CDI does not seem to have had the injector problems of the C220CDI.) Bit more than £22,000 unless you buy 2nd hand. Most cars these days are built to last 7 - 8 years and, while most owners make them last longer, a major failure at 8 years old or more can cost more than the car is worth to repair.
Dear Honest John,

Christian Slater gets the story of the centuries in Neil Jordan's flawed but fascinating adaptation of Anne Rice's novel starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst.
Sometimes a good movie can be made even better by a good soundtrack — and sometimes a really bad movie can be redeemed by its music. Here are a few flicks available for your instant viewing (and listening) pleasure that may sound better than they look.
Lars Von Trier's apocalyptic sci-fi drama starring Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg makes for one of the most fascinating movie experiences of the year.

Google Apps Sync Installation Problems With Outlook 2013Posted by Zachary Zawarski in Google Apps on June 22nd, 2013 | 3 Comments
November 2013 Update: Google Apps Sync now works with click-to-run versions of Outlook 2013.
If you're trying to install Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook on Outlook 2013, you are probably going crazy trying to figure out why it just won't install. I've already done hours of research online trying to figure out why I was having problems with the installation. The short explanation is that Microsoft changed their software format causing compatibility issues with the Google Apps Sync plugin. Google Apps Sync will work flawlessly with Outlook 2007 and 2010, but you'll have some issues with installing the sync plugin for Outlook 2013.
When you try to install Google Apps Sync on Outlook 2013, you'll receive the following popup message on your computer:
Succeeded: Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook
Failed: Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook
Currently, Google Apps Sync is not compatible with the "click-to-run" version of Outlook 2013. However, it is compatible with the MSI version of Outlook 2013. The problem is that nearly 100% of Outlook 2013 versions out there are the "click-to-run" variety where you simply purchase a product key and are given instructions on how to download the actual software. The MSI version is what large enterprises receive that purchase bulk licenses from Microsoft.
What are your options? There are hacks out there to get around the annoying issue of being unable to install Google Apps Sync for Outlook 2013. To summarize the hack, it involves uninstalling Outlook 2013, uninstalling the Sync plugin, installing Outlook 2010, then installing Google Apps Sync, then upgrading to Outlook 2013, and then editing your computer's registry to insert the registry hack in order to get the plugin to work.
If you don't feel like going through the hassle of installing and uninstalling software and editing your computer's registry, well, you can try to get an MSI version of Outlook 2013 from Microsoft or you can simply stick with Outlook 2007 or 2010 until Google announces that the Google Apps Sync plugin is compatible with the click-to-run version of Outlook 2013. If you have any updates on this situation, feel free to let me know by leaving a comment below.
Upgraded Email Storage For Google Apps Gmail Finally ComingPosted by Zachary Zawarski in Google Gmail on May 31st, 2013 | Comment »
I have been wondering for the last five years if Google Apps was ever going to allow their users to purchase additional email storage over the 25 GB limit that comes with Google Apps for Business. I am sure Google received complaint after complaint from users who have or were close to hitting the 25 GB email quota who didn't want to delete archived emails for record-keeping purposes. After years of waiting, Google has finally announced that they will allow users to increase their email storage.
Google is going to combine the 25 GB Gmail and 5 GB Drive quota for all current users to give users a combined 30 GB of storage and then allow users to upgrade their storage beyond the 30 GB limit. The roll out will start May 28, 2013 for rapid release domains and on June 11, 2013 for scheduled release domains. Storage up to 16 TB can be purchased. 100 GB of storage can be purchased for $4.99/month.
Google Drive storage can be upgraded here. Google may or may not use the same link once the the changes are rolled out. We last wrote about the ability to upgrade your Google Docs storage back on March 5, 2011, and have been waiting for a similar option to upgrade Gmail email storage ever since then.
What is the Chromebook Pixel?Posted by Zachary Zawarski in Chromebooks on May 28th, 2013 | Comment »
The Chromebook Pixel is the latest Chromebook introduced by Google. Most people just learning about the Chromebook Pixel will get some sticker shock from the price. The price starts at $1,299 for the 32 GB Wi-Fi only model and goes to $1,449 for the 64 GB Wi-Fi and LTE model. You're scratching your head saying, "For a Chromebook?!? What could possibly warrant such an outrageous price for a Chromebook?"
The Chromebook Pixel was developed by Google for the purpose of demonstrating to their hardware providers (Samsung and Acer) that they want to go in a direction of better hardware specs. Those who complain about the original Chromebooks usually complain about the hardware, but hey, you get what you pay for, and what were you really expecting from a laptop priced at $249?
The Chromebook Pixel, as the name suggests, is all about its unbelievable graphic display that you'll get. The Pixel could have the very best display of any laptop ever created. It boasts a resolution of 2560 x 1700 at 239 PPI on a 400 nit screen. The screen is also a touchscreen as well. The body and feel of the Pixel is almost identical to the Macbook Pro, but just a bit more squarish.
The Chromebook Pixel was clearly not created for the typically consumer. Google knows and understands that the Pixel will not be a big seller. That's not the goal or the idea with the Pixel. The Pixel is meant to be a pet project to continue the innovation of the Chromebook and hopefully get the manufacturers to put together Chromebooks with better hardware specs and hopefully keep the same attractive price point that has initially led some users to begin using the Chromebook. As the Pixel website states as the tagline "for what's next" and the description on the Google Play store description says "to inspire future innovation."
Marques Brownlee provides an excellent explanation of the features of the Chromebook and what it's all about in this video:
Chrome Browser Now Available For Smartphones and TabletsPosted by Zachary Zawarski in Google Chrome on July 14th, 2012 | Comment »
Google's popular Chrome Browser can now be downloaded for your phone. The browser is available for Apple iOS 4.3 or later devices, which includes the iPhone 4 and iPad 2. For those with an Android device, the Chrome browser is just running and Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
To download the Chome Browers on your iPhone, visit the App Sotre, or visit Google Play from your Android device. Unless your Android device is brand-spanking new, you likely cannot download the Chrome browser for your Android which is disappointing.
I have the Droid Bionic on Verizon's 4G LTE which is running Android 2.3.4. I don't understand why the phone is unable to run Chrome since the phone does have a dual-core processor and plenty of RAM to support it. Hopefully, it will only be a matter of time until Android is available on 2.0 and 3.0 devices. We'll be waiting for a release date and will be sure to update you when that information becomes available.
I did get a chance to test out the Chrome browser on my iPad 2 though and absolutely love it. It's a huge browser upgrade of Apple's Safari browser. The greatest feature is being able to sign in with your Google username and have all of your data such as your bookmarks syncing together and accessible from whatever device you are using.
Chrome's browser search features are also a huge plus compared to Safari, which includes the popular auto-suggestion and voice search features. And of course, the Chrome browser loads webpages in a flash. The increase in browser speed is quite significant and perhaps the greatest thing that you'll love about Chrome for your smartphone or tablet.
Learn more about the Chrome Browser on Google's website for the release.
Tips On How To Make Your Chromebook FasterPosted by Zachary Zawarski in Chromebooks on April 1st, 2012 | 1 Comment
Do you feel that your Chromebook is getting slow? You can use these tips to help speed up your Chroombook.
1.) Reduce Tabs — The more that's going on with your Chromebook, the slower it's going to get. Although the Chromebook is great for mobile computing, its processor and RAM aren't top of the line. The lower specs also help the Chromebook achieve 8 hours of battery life. The first and easiest thing you can do to speed up your Chromebook is to eliminate tabs you're not using.
2.) Eliminate Extensions — Don't get too crazy with extension add ons. If you have any extensions that you absolutely do not use, I would uninstall them. These extensions take up RAM and end up slowing down your Chromebook.
3.) Check Your Processes — With Shift + Esc, you can check out your Task Manager to see what processes are running.
4.) Clear Your Cache — Whenever you visit websites, the files are downloaded to the computer to speed up browsing. After a while that can clog things up and slow down your computer. In order to clear your case, open your Chromebook settings, click the Under the Hood tab, and click Clear browser data.
Google Chromebook vs. iPad 2Posted by Zachary Zawarski in Chromebooks on July 10th, 2011 | Comment »
If you're looking to spend $500 on a new gadget, you may be thinking what suits your needs better: the Google Chromebook or iPad 2. With the $499 Samsung 3G Chromebook, you'll have free 3G internet access (up to 100 MB per month) for two years. With the $499 iPad 2, you'll be limited to WiFi. If you want to upgrade to a 3G version, the iPad 2 starts at $629. You'll then have to shell out $20 per month for the mobile 3G hotspot with a 2-year contract or $30 per month for a month-to-month plan with Verizon. With AT&T, 3G plans start at just $15.
With the Chromebook, there are no contracts and pay-as-you-go data plans are available. After you use your 100 MB of free data, you have several options. You can opt for a $9.99 day pass, sign up for a $20 monthly plan for 1 GB of data, or buy an additional 3 GB of data for a one-time fee of $35. With the one-time $35 payment, you may have enough data to last you several months.
The Chromebook and iPad serve very different functions. Which is best for you depends on your needs. The iPad 2 is an entertainment device. The Chromebook is a computing device. If you're playing games, casually browsing the news, and fooling around with apps, the iPad 2 is the way to go. If you need a mobile device to reply to several emails and browse websites, the Chromebook is the winner.
My main use for a new device is to be able to browse the internet and send emails when I'm on the go. As a website developer, I wouldn't be able to edit websites on the go with the iPad since I would need a fully functional browser. If I need to respond to emails, replies wouldn't exceed 10 words with the iPad. The Chromebook would suit my needs much better than the iPad 2 would.
So far the Chromebook looks to be a real winner. It's the 3rd highest selling laptop on Amazon.com behind the Macbook Pro and Toshiba Satellite and they're outselling Android tablets. So far reviews on the Chromebook are mixed. For people buying the device, they need to understand that it's just a browser so you're limited in what you can do with the computer. Editing Microsoft Office files requires use of Microsoft Office Web Apps and downloading your docs to your Sky Drive. However, the positives to stripping down the device to just the web is an 8 second boot time and 8.5 hour battery life.
New Google Docs App: Create Docs From PhotoPosted by Zachary Zawarski in Google Docs on July 9th, 2011 | 1 Comment
I was browsing around the Google Docs blog to see if Google might have anything to say about the possibility of being able to edit Microsoft Word files directly in Google Docs. I was really hoping for some Microsoft Word functionality within Google Docs with the arrival of the Chromebook. Unfortunately, I did not come across any information about that topic, but I did stumble upon some very neat features that have been added to Google Docs.
The last features that I am really fond of are the ability to now upload entire folders, drag-and-drop files for uploading, and pagination.
With the new Google Docs Android app, you're now able to take a picture with your phone and have the text in the photo converted to a Google Doc. So the next time you stumble across a poster or book and just wished you could copy it verbatim, download the Google Docs app, snap a picture, and have it converted in no time.

Can the Chromebook open Microsoft Word files?Posted by Zachary Zawarski in Chromebooks on July 2nd, 2011 | 2 Comments
The Chromebook made its much anticipated debut on July 15, 2011 after the project was announced all the way back in 2009. It was originally supposed to debut in the fall of 2010. The device is just the web — literally a Chrome browser on a netbook — but it boasts an 8 second boot time. I thought Google was really onto something when I began diving into the details of the project back in December 2009. However, the jury is still out on this device.
When the device came out, I thought it was a bit pricey, but the manufacturers obviously want to milk the early adopters for what they're worth before lowering the price. The Acer model starts at $349, while Samsung's model runs $429 for Wi-Fi and $499 for built-in 3G. Google was suggesting that models would start at $299 when the project was first announced. I'm sure that the Acer price will drop to $299 this fall.
Here is one thing that makes the Samsung 3G Chromebook worth $499 for those who opt for the Samsung 3G model: up to 100 MB of free data for 2 years and pay-as-you-go data when you need it and it doesn't require a contract. I'm curious to see if a 4G model would be available in the near future. 3G speeds are painfully slow. Although it would get the job done of checking email on the road or browsing some news, don't expect to do much serious browsing with a 3G connection. Rumors are going around that a 4G Chromebook would be available around Christmas time, but that is just speculation.
Before grabbing a Chromebook, the key factor for me is the ability to edit Microsoft Office files. I love Google Docs and use it a lot, but I have to do all of my document creation in Microsoft Word because I need it's functionality. Unfortunately, if you upload your Word Docs to Google Docs, you cannot edit the file unless you convert it into the Google Docs format. Then when you edit the Google Doc copy, it won't update the Microsoft Word file, which is hugely annoying.
There is a Top 5 Chromebook myths article that states that the Chromebook can edit Microsoft Office files. Technically, it can edit office files if you convert it to Google Docs, but it won't sync back with the previously existing file, which basically kills the point of it. The article states that you can also sync your files with Microsoft Web Apps. I've tried playing around with Microsoft Web Apps and it sucks. It doesn't have the simple seamlessness of Google Docs.
If Google was going to wait this long to release the Chrombook, they should have figured out a way for DOC files to be editable right in Google Docs without having to convert the file into Google Docs format. Until that happens, I don't see the Chromebook as being a threat to Microsoft.
Automatically Sync Microsoft Office With Google DocsPosted by Zachary Zawarski in Google Docs on March 5th, 2011 | Comment »
Unfortunately, I still have to do a lot of work in Microsoft Office since I use a lot of custom headers, footers, and tables of contents. However, I still want the ability to always be able to access my documents from anywhere and have them backed up, which is why I store my documents in Google Docs. I previously used the OffiSync plugin to backup and sync my documents in Microsoft Office. The annoying part was not only saving the file to your hard drive but then having to open the tab in Microsoft Office to store a copy in Google Docs.
I always wished that OffiSync would be able to automatically sync my documents. Fortunately, Google Apps recently released the Google Cloud Connect Plugin. Now documents can be automatically synced with Google Docs. The plugin works great. You have the ability to choose whether to sync automatically or manually and you can change the sharing settings right in Microsoft Office. The only downside is the inability to add a document to a specific collection. Hopefully, Google will upgrade the plugin shortly to give you the ability to organize documents in collections right in Microsoft Office. Great work by Google.
Google Apps Storage Upgrade Now AvailablePosted by Zachary Zawarski in Google Apps on March 5th, 2011 | 2 Comments
We've been keeping a close eye on when Google Apps users would be able to upgrade their storage in Google Docs. Google Docs storage upgrade has been available for Google Accounts since this past May. However, until today, Google Apps users could not upgrade their Google Docs storage. This was driving me mad because I store tons of PDF documents in Google Docs, essentially using it as my server and I cannot work with 1 GB of storage.
Google announced months ago that extra storage would be available for Google Apps users. For those using their personal accounts, extra storage is affordable — just $5 a year for 20 GB. When Google announced that Google Apps users could upgrade their storage, they tried implementing it at much higher rates. What would run $5 a year for 20 GB for a normal Google Apps user would cost $70 under the price table that Google released for its Google Apps users.
This created a huge outburst and it was only a matter of time until the page was removed. However, we have a copy of the old proposed fee structure. It now looks like Google did the right thing, listed to their customers complaints, and have permitted Google Apps users to upgrade their Google Docs storage for the same price structure that it gives to personal accounts. The only difference now is that the extra storage cannot be applied to email boxes and only applies to Google Docs and Picasa accounts for Google Apps users.

Guestroom 2010 Gets New Name, Kills the Telephone
By Abigail A. Lorden | June 24, 2008
The latest Guestroom 2010 debuted at
in Austin, Texas, last week, sporting a new name and showcasing a host of cutting-edge guestroom technologies, some so new that they're not yet available in the U.S., while also intentionally omitting a staple of the guestroom: the telephone.
New name, new focus
The model hotel room launched as Guestroom 2010 in 2006 as a working
showcase of cutting-edge
guestroom technologies; its name was intended
to reinforce that the snazzy technologies on display weren't a distant fantasy. But as the year 2010 quickly approaches, and there's no end in sight to the level of innovation that hotels explore in the guestroom, this guestroom of the future is re-branding itself as "Guestroom 20X" and will continue to focus on innovative new technologies, specifically as they relate to changing consumer and industry trends.
Phones no more
This year's display stirred up a little intentional controversy by ditching the traditional guestroom telephone entirely. The project's committee believes that, with the advent of cellular technology and the continuing focus on the television as an all-in-one media hub, guests would only need an in-room phone to call the front desk. In fact, the committee is so confident in its stance that they decided to place an antique intercom system from 1947 on the bedside table instead of a telephone.
Smart locks
Focusing further on the proliferation of cellular technology, one of the newest advancements on display includes door locks that respond to a guest's NFC-enabled cell phone via proximity sensors. The phone is sent a personalized code via SMS (text message) during the reservation process, and when waived near an RFID-enabled lock, will electronically release the latch. While NFC phones aren't yet available in the U.S., the technology is currently installed in hotels in Japan and Korea.
These demos included keyless door technology from
, (also the project's patron sponsor), and electronic door locks from
VingCard Elsafe
. The combined solution will allow guests to skip check-in and proceed directly to their rooms without having to stop at the front desk.
Rich media
A multi-media hub from
features a built-in computer and Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, while the Chargepod from
Callpod Inc
. provides six-way charging capabilities at one time for guests' cell phones, PDAs, iPODs, digital cameras and most other electronic devices.
For alternate charging options, a guest could use the
pad, a wire-free power solution to charge various electronic devices. Guests would simply place the enabled phone on the pad for instantaneous, uninterrupted charging. The device was named one of TIME magazine's "Best Inventions of 2007."
In-room entertainment takes on a new twist with Wii for Hotels, a version of
popular gaming system made exclusively for the lodging industry. Property managers can control game menu content, erase saved game data and receive new games via a network connection.
The traditional guestroom clock is replaced by a voice-responsive clock with Timeset technology from
Sensory, Inc
., allowing guests to program the alarm by simply stating the desired dime out loud. Timeset can be integrated into numerous devices via an RSC-4x chip, brining voice activation to the thermostat, coffee maker, microwave or DVR.
Going green
The room also showcased several green technologies, with a particular focus on energy efficiency. An LCD television from
is designed with proprietary dimming technology to lower the backlight panel and reduce power consumption without compromising picture quality. The technology allows the unit to use up to 50 percent less power than most LCDs of the same size.
Meanwhile, closet doors double as energy generators in the Powerslide Energy Tax Door from
Fluxx Lab
. When a guest slides open the door, magnets harness and redistribute the energy. The negligible energy harnessed is enough to light the closet for up to 20 seconds. Powerslide can be used in such common building components sliding doors and windows, draperies and drawers.
In all, Guestroom 20X featured more than 40 different technologies discovered from a worldwide, comprehensive search of existing and future guestroom innovations.

Do not use this surgeon for a mini face lift
I chose this Dr. Buchele for a mini face lift. It was done in the office where he and his staff were very kind. However, the stictches came out twice and left gaping skin. He fixed them once, but on the second occasion just let them heal. One earlobe was stitched directly to my face and is bizarre. After leaving such bad scars due to the stitch problem I had to consult another surgeon for rapair. I would not recommend his work.

Historic McKeesport roundhouse set for demolition
Demolition is to begin on Tuesday on the remaining portion of a 106-year-old former water pumping facility near McKeesport's Fifteenth Avenue Bridge.
The Water Roundhouse opened on Oct. 11, 1908, as part of the Municipal Water Softening and Filtration Plant, regarded as the first regional facility to provide reliable and safe drinking water to area residents.
"It's in bad shape inside," said Joel Halaszynski, a Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County production supervisor in charge of maintenance. "They're going to tear it down ... then we can use the lot for other projects that are coming up."
According to a 2011 history of the city written by Michelle Tryon Wardle-Eggers and John W. Barna of the McKeesport Regional History & Heritage Center, the plant enabled the city to go from having what the U.S. Geological Survey described as the worst water in the country to what city residents regarded as the finest water in the nation.
"Cases of typhoid fever, which had been numerous, virtually disappeared after this plant was built," according to "McKeesport," a part of the Arcadia Publishing Postcard History Series.
The roundhouse preceded the city's sale of its water service to the municipal authority. It sits on a 5.3533-acre tract purchased by the Westmoreland County authority in 1987 for $1.
The 1908 plant was replaced in 1990 by the present plant drawing water out of the Youghiogheny River, located about a block away from the roundhouse on the McKeesport side of the bridge.
In 2001 a new shingle roof was installed on the roundhouse.
According to Allegheny County real estate officials, if it were taxable, the roundhouse would have an assessed value of $833,900, while the surrounding land has a value of $214,100.
Others have seen the roundhouse as a landmark for travel on the nearby Great Allegheny Passage, such as the Pump House has become along the trail in Munhall's portion of the Waterfront.
In 2004 artists Ann Rosenthal, Stephanie Flom and Jackie Brookner sought to develop a revitalization strategy for McKeesport's enthusiasm, economy and ecology.
They focused on McKeesport's possibilities as a trail town, a distinction granted to the city a decade later by The Progress Fund.
The artists saw two historical roundhouses as bookends to the trail system in McKeesport. One is the water roundhouse, the other a railroad roundhouse built in 1905 in the Boston section of Elizabeth Township.
Halaszynski said a storage shed is to be built on the water roundhouse site for equipment, while more room is to be developed for drying the sludge that is a byproduct of drawing water out of the Youghiogheny River.

All games 7 p.m. Thursday unless noted. Admission $6.
Class 5A
Durant (12-7-2) at Central (9-7-3): Central is back in the region quarterfinals for the second year in a row after defeating Springstead 2-1 in overtime on Friday. The Bears lost to Newsome 7-1 in their last playoff appearance a year ago. Durant is slumping as it enters regionals. The Cougars have lost three of their past five, including an ugly 6-1 defeat to Newsome in the district final.
Springstead (11-2-4) at Newsome (13-5-3): Springstead is in the region tournament for the first time since 2007 but faces an uphill task against Newsome. The Wolves, led by Joey Perfetto's 18 goals and 18 assists, have won four straight and compiled an impressive record against a formidable schedule. The Wolves went to the region finals a year ago. The Eagles haven't won a region playoff game since 2004 when they advanced to the region finals.
Class 4A
Sunlake (18-8-1) at Hudson (8-8-1): Consider this matchup the all-upset quarterfinal. Sunlake scored a 2-1 victory over higher-seeded River Ridge in the district semifinals to earn the school's first regional playoff appearance. Hudson claimed three surprising victories, knocking off Mitchell, Wesley Chapel and Pasco in succession to host its first region game since reaching the region finals in 2009.
Pasco (20-2) at Land O'Lakes (23-1): Easily the most anticipated region quarterfinal. Land O'Lakes scored two second-half goals to defeat Pasco 3-2 on Jan. 19 in a game that clinched the Sunshine Athletic Conference title for the Gators. The Pirates hadn't lost until that game, opening the season with 16 straight wins, but have dropped two of their past six after a 2-0 upset loss to Hudson on Friday in the district championship.
Class 2A
Bishop McLaughlin (18-5) at Bradenton St. Stephen's (16-3-2), 3:30 p.m.: Bishop McLaughlin had a string of three shutout victories snapped in the district final after losing 4-0 to Tampa Prep. The Hurricanes will likely get a shot at a rematch with the Terrapins if they defeat St. Stephen's. Bad news for Bishop: the Falcons are making their seventh straight appearance in the region tournament, and they are 5-1 in region quarterfinal games.

Team Van Dyke in the maw of the beast off fabled Cape Hatteras.
Like a nautical steeplechase, the Worrell 1000 is a 12-stage distance race that starts in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and bolts up the coast to finish in Virginia Beach, VA. The legs range from 60 to 121 miles in length, and, depending on the wind, can take from three to 18 hours to complete. The race is staged aboard two-person beach catamarans, which for this year's competition were Inter 20s. These 20-foot, twin trapeze cats can easily exceed 25 mph, and according to some competitors this year, they possess an alarming predilection to capsize.
Close finishes are becoming a hallmark in the Worrell 1000. Here the Dutch team hit the beach on one of the early legs.
This year the Worrell 1000 began in perfect sailing conditions. The fleet broke records for elapsed time on three of the early legs and unruly weather was nowhere to be seen. Neophyte Worrell sailors wondered what the fuss was about. But they got an abrupt reality check by Leg Five when the night racing began.
The Worrell has become famous for lulling competitors into a false sense of security during its early legs. Daytime reaching up the Florida coast in moderate breezes is quite pleasant, but the race turns ornery at the Georgia border. This year, the second night leg from Isle of Palms, SC, to Myrtle Beach exposed the beast for what it is. Twelve hours into that leg, the erstwhile light winds disappeared, giving way to a northwest blaster that spun in at 35 knots, punishing teams that had ranged offshore looking for wind.
On board Pyacht, Whitbread veterans Tom Weaver and Richard Deppe had drifted 10 miles out looking for breeze when the new wind filled. They capsized in a large gust and found that they couldn't right the boat without cutting the main halyard to pull the mainsail down. This meant that they had to sail 10 miles upwind with just a jib. After a frustrating slog ashore, they pulled up on the sand 14 miles south of Myrtle Beach and flipped the boat to reconnect their halyard lock. Just as they got sailing again Deppe noticed that the huge waves had badly torqued their boat, causing the rear beam to begin disconnecting from the starboard hull. They were forced ashore again to lash the hull to the beam and then limped home to the finish. Pyacht finished just after noon for an elapsed time of more than 18 hours. Weaver and Deppe were so exhausted, it was a struggle for them to unlace their shoes.
While the human drama of survival in difficult ocean conditions is a constant theme of the Worrell 1000—continually reinforced by vignettes like Pyacht's ordeal—there is also a sailboat race going on. The best-prepared, most-experienced teams are actually racing for 1,000 miles at a very competitive level. This year, Randy Smyth and Matt Struble aboard Blockade Runner Resorts set the bar high for all their fellow competitors.
To the victors go the spoils, and the interviews—Randy Smyth and Matt Struble entertain the media.
To no one's surprise, Smyth won the first two legs, but Loos and Heemskerk took the honors on Leg Three by 18 minutes and held their overall lead until Leg Five when they strayed from the pack on the way to Tybee Island. From there to the Virginia Beach finish, the Aussies aboard Rudee's Restaurant became Smyth's closest rivals. Looking back, it's clear that the race was really determined on the 80-mile night leg from Tybee Island, GA, to the Isle of Palms, SC, when Dryland and Waterhouse flipped and broke their centerboard, losing a total of 30 minutes to Smyth, which they never recovered.
Smyth and Struble sailed a flawless race. They used excellent speed, conservative tactics, and methodical preparation to slowly pull away from the pack. The result was few breakdowns and a pile of individual leg victories. For the final two legs, Smyth was content to shadow Dryland and Waterhouse, earning his fifth consecutive victory for a total of six Worrell 1000 wins.
Founder and organizer Mike Worrell at his "office."
The Worrell 1000 experience boils down to different things for different people. For some it's a test of endurance and survival, for others it's a sailboat race to the finish. Smyth thinks that as the sailors improve, the race will change: "In the early races in the '70s, it was all about man versus the world. Now it's about how fast we can go and still survive."
Along with the evolution that Smyth implies comes a certain maturity. After 18 editions, the race has become a fixture on the sailing calendar, albeit more fringe than mainstream. But this year more people followed the race than ever before, both through regional newspapers along the route and via the Internet. And having two strong presenting sponsors in J.D. Edwards and Pincus has given the event new promotional muscle. The outlook for the future is strong, and Worrell has already begun to work on next year's race. His notebook is full of improvements that he hopes to make to give the race renewed momentum. So far, competitors are crawling out of the woodwork and sponsors are beginning to take notice which is fitting because this race deserves the attention. Of course, this race is not for everyone. But if you feel like you've rounded enough buoys and you're looking for a new challenge, The Worrell 1000 will always be waiting.

You can't spell Daiya without Die. Oh. Wait. Yeah you can. Sorry. (Too Much Iron Maiden)
I have a weird relationship with Daiya. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I don't. Honestly, it grosses me out when it gets cold and starts to congeal. When it's hot and melty, I'm like the Pointer Sisters (I'm So Excited!), when it reverts to room temperature I'm like Iron Maiden (Run to the Hills). I don't eat it all that much anyway. I'm an old school tofutti cream cheese man myself.
There is no denying though: vegans love it. As this article in Canada's Maclean's magazine can attest to, it's "Fake Cheese That'll Make Vegans Swoon". The people interviewed are weeping tears of joy.
Frankly, I find it odd that while Daiya is from Canada it is hard to find there. Oh, America, you ruin everything!

There is something about firing 4,200 thirty millimeter rounds/min that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

It appears to me that the sign fails to meet the letter height and contrasting color requirements of Sec. 30.06, Tex. Pen. C., so it is not "effective notice." Nonetheless, the best practice would be to do business elsewhere. We had a few banks around here that put up 30.06 signs early-on, and after a few wealthy depositors either pulled their accounts or threatened to, they took them down.
Texas law requires it in both English and Spanish.
Without being there and seeing the sign, it is hard to tell if it meets the actual criteria for the 30.06. I would not want to be the test case and possibly loose a license over it.
A nice letter to the credit union president might be in order. I did it when my credit union posted an invalid sign, and today all signage is gone, and should remain that way.
Here is a link to the post with a copy of the letter that I sent to our CU president. http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulle...dit-union.html

Selena Gomez Heads to BOA Steakhouse without Justin
Just a few days after her reported breakup with Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez headed out to dinner with a male companion at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood on Friday (January 11).
The "Spring Breakers" star wore a black coat, white blouse, and flowing red skirt with a slit up the side as she kept her head averted from awaiting shutterbugs.
Just the night before, the 20-year-old actress dialed up the glamour for an appearance at the Alberta Ferretti and Vogue Limited Edition Collection 2013 Fashion Show and Dinner.
Wearing a stunning blue sleeveless dress that showed a bit of cleavage, Selena showed Justin what he was missing as she chatted with talk show host, Chelsea Handler.

Ayinde Sprewell, a 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard out of Daytona State College, gave a verbal pledge to Harper and his staff, according to a source close to the situation. Sprewell will have two years of eligibility for Western Kentucky.
Sprewell picked WKU over Rhode Island. He also held scholarship offers from UNC-Wilmington, Troy and Illinois State.
During Sprewell's sophomore season he averaged 15.1 points and eight rebounds a game. Sprewell is originally from Milwaukee (Wisc.).
Sprewell joins an impressive recruiting haul that includes four three-star prospects – Derrick Clayton, Jordan Green, Avery Patterson and Justin Johnson. Rob Marberry also plans to walk on for the Hilltoppers.
Sprewell, Clayton, Green and Patterson will give WKU some firepower on the perimeter, as all four have reputations as scorers. Johnson is a 6-foot-6 bruising power forward that is known for his energy and rebounding.

Late in 2012, Facebook introduced a new communication tool for its social network. Poke, as it is called, allows users to send each other text, pictures or video messages of what's going on now. That's not news, but what is news is that those messages disappear after a short time (seconds, but in fact details may linger). The app solved the problem of sending information that Mom, and perhaps some future employer, should never see. The response to the new app was quizzical at best, at least to those over 30 years old. The upshot, however, was quite a bit of good press for a non-Facebook app, Snapchat, that does roughly the same thing.
This idea of disappearing messages reminded me of the "this tape will self-destruct in five seconds" from the old "Mission: Impossible" TV show of the 1970s. Clearly, there's nothing new under the sun.
What about a geographic implementation of Poke and Snapchat? With all the concerns about privacy and long-term storage of location information, why is there not a disposable location message service?
There is, sort of. Glympse is the closest implementation to what I'm imagining. Glympse puts the sender's changing location on a map that's accessible to the recipient for a defined time period. The recipient sees a history, too: "...we also display a trail of the last 10 minutes of where you've been."
Glympse offers a graphic interface to set the time a location is shared.
So, Glympse is not a "point" implementation, at this time, but rather a potentially hours-long challenge of battery use and information management - up to four hours at a go. You can even extend Glympse beyond four hours (like putting money in the parking meter), something you can't do with Poke or Snapchat. The latest update (Dec 2012; it launched in 2009) prompted some reviews describing the interface as cluttered and a bit confusing as more features are added.
My sense is that most people would, by default, not share their location during any given year of their lives. Still, on a few occasions, such as when the car gets a flat on the highway or when you are lost on the way to ski cabin, it would be very valuable to send just a point location. The recipient would have to capture the data in order to act on it before it disappeared. Worst case, the sender could resend it, I suppose. But, the sender could feel confident, as perhaps Snapchat users do, that the data are safely destroyed.
How would a provider of such an infrequently used service make money? Glympse is free; early discussions about the company suggested an advertising-based business model, but that has not developed yet. So, how would my ephemeral location sharing app make money? Licensing.
I would love to have my auto club have the service built into its app. So, when I login to report I need aid, I could safely send a timed-to-disappear location for dispatch/responder eyes only. I would be more likely to share a one off, disappearing location to brands I interact with in multiple locations: my gym, my nationwide coffee shop, etc.
The idea of Poke and Snapchat, and my proposed ephemeral location sharing have one thing in common: Today's information/communication is fleeting. For much of human history we worried about the permanence of the drawn picture, the written word and the electronic webpage. Now, perhaps, we are far more interested in information's impermanence.

New(ish) E86 "Owner"
I say "Owner" cuz technically my bank owns it.
I got this beast back in September. It was a lazy Labor day off of work and I decided out of nowhere: "Imma go buy an M Coupe". I drove my 996TT down to a semi-reputable dealer and completed the transaction in one day. The hard part was agreeing on a price for that damn 996TT (attempts to sell it privately were futile, I blame the economy
So yeah, kinda a downgrade, but not really. The 996TT is insanely fast but I'm at -8 points on my license and "insanely fast" is a sure way to be commuting to work "insanely slow" on my bmx bike.
I'm going to dig a grave real quick and say I've never been extremely impressed or interested in BMWs, so I wasn't sure the M Coupe would do it for me. After the first test drive I knew I had to have one someday, good job BMW. This car is great fun to drive...blah blah everyone already knows how great it is so I won't go further.
The main reason I'm starting this thread is the damn CEL has a mind of it's own. I took it to a dealer and they said they fixed it with some flash upgrade. A week later and it came back. Then a few weeks later it goes away, then comes back, so on and so forth. Does anyone else have/had this issue? The main dealer is slightly out of my way so I hate making the trip there unless needed. I have tried disconnected the battery to no avail.
This car is a cop magnet. Pulled over 3 times in 2 months just after modifying the exhaust. I quickly went back to stock (boo boring stock exhaust sound). I might just go with an xpipe and call it a day ($750 for an xpipe? wth...).
Ok here's pics (I have since removed those ugly chrome thingy's on the front):
And what it replaced (feel free to ask questions about the 996tt):
