Clay Fischer '12 brings the University's resources to Douglas County
Posted by Allyce Amidon '12, Falcon Heights, Center for Small Towns on Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2011
University of Minnesota, Morris senior Clay Fischer, Pine City, has spent the summer identifying possible internships for his fellow students with the Douglas County Lakes Association. The nonprofit association is in need of interns, and Morris students are in need of internships. As Morris is the closest university, it's a perfect match.
So far, Fischer has identified four major projects: a communications/research position studying invasive species, a project conducting core sampling of ditches around Lake Ida and then hopefully extending outward, a project testing water quality, and a lake shore restoration project. The Douglas County Lakes Association covers three watersheds, a huge undertaking. Fischer's work is only the tip of the iceberg.
Fischer took the position at the suggestion of Karen Mumford, former assistant professor of environmental studies. He said it fit well with his future plans. An environmental studies major with a minor in communications, Fischer believes that "communications is a big part of environmental studies." He says the best part of the project has to be all of the people he's met. He was amazed to find so many people out there who care. He also hopes "it keeps going. It's a cool project and there's a lot of opportunities for all sorts of majors. A lot of different projects can come out of this."
The project received support from the University of Minnesota West Central Sustainability Partnership and the Center for Small Towns.
The University of Minnesota West Central Sustainability Partnership is a legislatively funded initiative led by citizen leaders committed to leveraging University resources to sustain Minnesota's natural resource based economy and empower citizen participation and leadership. The organization has partnered with the Center for Small Towns to sponsor the "Connecting Students and Communities" program that provides financial support to employ Morris students for community-identified projects.
The Center for Small Towns is a community outreach program housed at the University of Minnesota, Morris and serves as a point-of-entry to the resources of the University. Small towns, local units of government, K–12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and other University units are able to utilize the Center's resources as they work on rural issues or make contributions to rural society. Their mission is to focus the University's attention and marshal its resources toward assisting Minnesota's small towns with locally identified issues by creating applied learning opportunities for faculty and students.

Time's Duffy and Tumulty declare Republicans lost, in part, for "spending like drunken Democrats"
In a November 8 Time magazine online article, "It's a Good Morning for the Democrats [1]," Time reporter Michael Duffy and national political correspondent Karen Tumulty, while reporting on the results of the midterm election, wrote that "the Republican Revolution that began in 1994" came to "an end," in part because the Republican Party "found itself spending like drunken Democrats."
From the November 8 Time online article:
But even before the outcome of Montana and Virginia is known, it was already clear that the vote was the biggest defeat of George W. Bush's presidency, depriving him of a governing majority in Washington and raising new doubts about his effectiveness and agenda for his final two years in office. Bush has scheduled a news conference for Wednesday afternoon.
The outcome brought an end to the Republican Revolution that began in 1994 but lost its way as the party that came to Washington to cut government spending and clean up a corrupt institution ran into scandals of its own and found itself spending like drunken Democrats. Meanwhile, the vote increases the onus on Democrats to go beyond merely criticizing the President and show voters they have a constructive agenda of their own.

Curls on Ice
Where I live, (Northern Cal) it get so cold in the winter that my hair (as well as many others) actually freezes esp. when you are in a rush and you don't have time for a blow out. Then, sometimes the heat is so bad that you don't even need a blow out just a air dry on your porch or a short drive! Theres a saying here, "If you don't like the weather here, just wait five minutes!" It fits here so perfectly. Anyone else know what I mean?
I live in northern Cali. You must be way up north for it to ether so cold. I'm in the bay area. But you should try using moose because it really cuts out the drying time. It evaporates super fast especially if you hit it with the dryer for a few minutes
Yeah, we live in a small town 45 minutes away from the Oregon border so we get similar weather of either very hot or very cold. Thanks for the suggestion, I never tried mousse.

Thirty children in the Chicago area have Elizabeth, N.J.-based Hayward Pool Products to thank for their brand-new bikes.
At Hayward's recent global sales meeting in Itasca, Ill., attendees were presented with an unusual team-building challenge: Compete to "win" bicycle parts, then use them to build actual bikes, which would be judged by their peers. The participants, who were sales, marketing and technical service personnel from eight different countries, built 30 bikes. Unbeknownst to them, the finished bikes were to be given to a group of children from WeGo Together for Kids, a West Chicago children's organization, at the end of the four-day event.
"Team building always plays an important role in our sales meetings," said Mike Massa, vice president of Hayward Sales. "But this may have been the first time where the exercise resulted in so much pure joy." He describes the moment the unsuspecting children walked into the room and were told that the newly built bikes were theirs to keep: "I don't know who had bigger smiles on their faces, the kids or the Hayward team."
In other news, the firm announced its special rebate program for pool owners in Arizona. If the temperature reaches or exceeds the record-breaking 118 degrees Fahrenheit at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport on July 4th, each pre-qualifying pool buyer will receive a $10,000 rebate from Hayward.
The "Beat the Heat" campaign applies to qualifying new Arizona inground pools purchased between Feb. 10–28 from participating Totally Hayward pool builders. Under the terms of the promotion, anyone purchasing a new inground pool from a participating authorized builder in Arizona and whose purchase included a new Hayward pump, filter and at least one additional new Hayward branded product, such as a heater, heat pump, controller, salt chlorinator or two LED lights, is eligible to register to win. n

Why Use iPhone Jailbreak and Unlock Services?

While the device was created by Apple, you are the customer, and that entails you to certain rights as far as freedom of use is concerned. With all the advantages that come along with a jailbreak and unlocking of the iPhone, it is important that you choose a service that can help you do so with zero damage to your existing apps and hardware. One such place on the web where you can go to take advantage of this unique phone service is AutomaticiPhoneUnlockers, a "dot com" that turns your phone into an even deeper experience for information and entertainment.AutomaticiPhoneUnlockers is one of the few services out there on the market that actually allows you to jailbreak your iPhone and use it for whatever purpose you deem necessary without regard to where you bought the device or what apps and programs you currently have running on it. The purpose of this iPhone jailbreak service is to give you even more choices than the hardware itself already provides. That could mean anything from downloading ebooks and games to banned applications. In fact, many jailbreak enthusiasts cite navigating around Apple based censorship as one of the primary reasons they choose to unlock in the first place. Another reason that people typically choose a jailbreak program for their iPhone is to give themselves more options with regard to phone service providers. Until recently, AT&T was the only game in town when it came to iPhone service, and jailbreaking was the only way around it. Aiding these breakers in the fight to shed limitations is the easy to use AutomaticiPhoneUnlockers program, which allows them to set up and use in a matter of minutes. From there, any additional updates that come down the pike from Apple are monitored and lead to future updates from the service as well that are free for the one time sign-up fee of $29.99. The low cost of the service adds hundreds if not thousands of dollars of added value to the iPhone itself over time. It does not affect the applications that come with the phone, or that are added from Apple itself. You all have reasons for wanting a way around the limitations of the Apple iPhone. While the device, by itself, is one of the greatest innovations in smartphone technology-let's face it, it pretty much wrote the book on the smartphone-there is always room for growth and expansion. With AutomaticiPhoneUnlockers, it is possible to get that growth and expansion today without having to wait on the next big thing from Mr. Jobs and Company. Sign up today and open even more doors than you ever thought possible with your iPhone.

looking to buy my first RC, anything specific i should be looking at?
looking to buy my first RC, anything specific i should be looking at?
I love my traxxas slash VXL. it can take the abuse that a newbie like myself might put I through. whatever you decide to go with, there's probably plenty of YouTube videos that you can use as testimonials.
x2 (slash)
They take a beating and are very simple to fix. They're also very upgradeable.
X3 for the slash.
My dads buddies all have them and I went over to talk about my car mods (my real one) and they all started racing their RC trucks. So Saturday I put up half the price with my dad for the slash. Drove it once, then the next day, talked my dad into giving me my money back and went out and bought myself one haha. And he also bought my brother one too! So in one weekend we dropped over a grand on 3 traxcas slash trucks. So much fun!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2
x4 on the slash.
Upgradable enough to be fun for me, durable enough to survive my 5yo.
haha just saw the price, pricey hobby ! maybe in the future, they all seem like solid RC's
The hobby can become expensive, but it does provide a ton of fun.
Ill jump in and vote for the 2wd Slash as well, but I am also a big fan of all the Traxxas variants of that platform with the Magnum 272 transmission: Grave Digger, Rustler, Bandit, Stampede, Slash. Differences between the trucks are limited to chassis, steering, suspension lengths, and wheel sizes, but are all virtually the same truck in design (you can come up with some cool rigs by swapping parts in this platform). Awesome trucks for the money. Huge aftermarket support, durability that is unbeatable, inexpensive and readily available replacement parts. Perfect first truck.
The slash is a great handling rig, but if you have plans on just all out bashing, the Stampede may be worth looking at as the larger tires and ground clearance will allow you to run in tall grass and negotiate rough terrain the slash can not handle. Stampede is very stable and forgiving in the handling department; asier to run but for that you give up the responsive, tight handling the slash offers its all a trade off.
If you go this route at some point, (irrgardless of the truck) invest in Caster blocks, arms, shock towers, bumper, and bearing blocks from RPM products (and suspension pins from Lunsford) makes for an almost indestructible vehicle. Then down the road steel trans out drives, alu steering components, upgraded shocks, etc. Save the money; RC does not hold its value well, search the RC forums, Ebay, Craigslist etc and pick up a used truck. Most have extra batteries and some upgraded parts, just like a new car let the first owner take the hit.
The xl5 versions are great bang for the buck, just gear reasonably and watch motor temps.. 550 12t will loose its brushes when over heated. The VXL 3s with a lipo is where its at as far as performance is concerned.
The slash is very straightforward, so easy to make sure you get a good used one. I've seen VXL ready to run go for under $150. Batteries from gens ace and the thunder AC6 charger and you're good to go.
But yeah, don't trick yourself into thinking its inexpensive, they're still cars. But, like a good car, once you get through the initial investment, they can be very cheap to run (with my slash, I probably average 4+ days before having to re-invest ~$7 in parts for another 4-10hours of fun).
Shutup and drive yo cah'!
How is it no one has asked the OP what he is hoping to do with his RC vehicle? I like the slash, but maybe the OP doesnt live anywhere near and dirt track and is limited to driving around in grass, the Slash sucks at that. Maybe he has no interest in driving off road and wants an on road car. Maybe he's one of those weirdo's that likes rock crawling... (just messing with you guys!)
So OP what is it your wanting out of an RC car? On-road or off, racing, bashing, speed, electric, nitro, big, small...?
I have all kinds of cars and variations. 2 Slash 2wd, 1 Slash VXL 2wd (my fastest one, does around 65mph, hard to not break...), Slash 4x4, Stampede VXL, Nitro S-maxx, RC10T2, Rustler, MRC Ironman (never been run!), Gelande D90 Crawler, Blackfoot III, OG Frog, and now a brand new 1988 Kyosho Ultima. Also on the way is a Kyosho Maxxum FF (look that one up!) and an original Blackfoot.
I started out with a basic 2wd slash and have worked my way up to what you see listed above. It went from one car that was all new to me, to everyone in the area coming to me for parts, advice, and service, all within a year.
Originally Posted by JacksSenseOfRejection

Here's a link to all mine
I just wanted one to bash around the yard. Then I got two, and my wife loved it. Then it spiraled out of control.
I got two more cars yesterday, they are on the way here. So to the OP: BE CAREFUL. IT NEVER ENDS!

That includes 1/24 scale to 1/8 scale, tanks, planes, helis, etc. It's one *ell fo a drug! haha. But, it keeps me out of trouble. I've been building plastic models since I was 9 so building, tinkering and customizing is what I enjoy. RC just makes it that much more fun! My most current is a Tamiya Unimog. Crazy since I have like 5 other projects i'm in the middle of and about 6 new bodies I have yet to paint. So yeah, it never ends.
^^ This guy is worse than me.
I just dug into my Slash 4x4, it's all foreign to me. Learning process: started

I miss my T-Maxx and had just recently been thinking about getting back into it and picking up a Slash. Good to see so much praise for the truck.
Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?
lucky! I saw that deal, too...after it was over.
really disappointed that I didn't pick it up. it's a really great looking kit.
I would rather like to say that as for a beginner there are too much options, even those in which he may get confused. There are two options. A beginner should always try out for the branded RC stuffs and secondly just Google out the best one of them. Too much options will be very overwhelming.

Is the Magic Gone ? Words by Tim Hendricks
Are the blind leading the blind in tattooing these days? This is a question that has been a major topic of discussion between my peers lately. With tattooing becoming as popular as it is these days every person that knows how to doodle wants to become a tattooer. I can only complain about it so […]

What's Cooking, Neighbor? Hollie Wong of Ching Ching Cha
Sixteen years ago this month, former hair stylist and Hong Kong native Hollie Wong opened a serene tea house on Wisconsin Avenue, steps from the C&O Canal. She named it Ching Ching (her Chinese name) Cha (Chinese for tea). And little has changed in the fashion and feel of this distinctive sanctuary since I enjoyed Wong's hospitality that very first week.
"The purpose is to relax. Don't be in a rush, taste the tea," says Wong, as she pours our first cup from a fist-sized red clay pot. "We keep it the same, slow, with no Wi-Fi or those bubble tea drinks."
At the center of the polished rosewood table is a cast-iron kettle of simmering water, at the ready for refreshing the tea leaves. From the kitchen come plates of perfect thin-skinned chicken, vegetable pot stickers and bowls of lightly dressed chopped kale and snow peas.
On a raised platform along one wall are two frequently reserved tables, low and with lots of pillows, perfect for laid-back sipping. Even when all the tables are taken, there's a reverent hush. Here, tea drinkers tend to linger.
I check out the selection of more than 70 different teas, as well as teapots and tea accessories, which Wong acquires on annual buying trips to China, Japan and Taiwan. This just in: the select top-bud spring crop of first-quality "Monkey King" green tea, her personal favorite, is now in stock. "The leaves are beautiful and the flavor is elegant," she says. "This is the tea for a stressful Washingtonian."
A woman comfortable with familiar food pleasures, Wong starts the day near her home in gated Hillandale with a stop at Patisserie Poupon for a classic buttery brioche roll. For a dinner out, her preferred destination is the sprawling 120-store Eden Center, a Vietnamese dining and shopping enclave in Falls Church. (At Eden, her choice for takeout is Thanh Son Tofu.)
And when a snack is in order, she reaches for a Chinese fast food have-to-have: a hard-cooked egg marinated in spices and soy sauce. "I never get tired of them," she says.
Marbled Tea Eggs
12 eggs
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons peppercorns
6 pods star anise
2 tablespoons black tea leaves, such as Earl Grey
8 cups water
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water, one inch above their tops. Slowly bring the water to a boil. When boiling, cover the pan, remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl and run cold water over them until cool. Gently tap each egg until the shell is thoroughly glazed with small cracks.
Place the cracked eggs in a saucepan with the 8 cups of water, salt and soy sauce. Tie the peppercorns, star anise and tea leaves in a square of cheesecloth and add to the saucepan. Bring the eggs and liquid to a boil, then reduce heat to very low and simmer for 1 hour. Turn off heat, cover and let the eggs stand in the liquid for 2 hours. Do not remove the cover while the eggs are steeping.
Remove the cracked shells and serve cold or at room temperature with a dipping sauce of soy sauce and a touch of toasted sesame oil.

Do I need a water hardness kit and does the API one work?
It looks like this set is the most common
but I see some reviews saying the GH test doesn't actually work. Is this true? Also, is it important to test water hardness? Should I do it regularly?
And while I'm here...my water's PH is about 8.3. Should I switch to a bottled water with a lower PH?
Thanks :)
GH is good to know, but you don't really need to test it on a regular basis.
The GH test kit works fine, but can be finicky, especially if the reagent is older.
Some people also find the colour changes (it is a titration test kit) a bit hard to discern.
I wouldn't worry too much about pH. A stable pH is more important than anything. If you are looking for a lower pH for a particular reason (i.e. such as breeding or keeping wild caught fish), then rather than using bottled water (which would become very expensive), RO or DI water would be a cheaper alternative.
I do not have a problem with API hardness test kit. Hardness is important to establish your tap water & conditions for the type of fish & plants you want to keep. I have found that the API color changes are easy to read & I use them all the time. I mix R/O water & you must know what your Gh is as well as Kh especially for keeping regular constant conditions . If you know what your tap water is running & it does not change much it becomes less important. However if you need say more Mg or Ca to dose than it will alter the Gh. So it is still nice to know what the Gh is at any time you want. If you decide to mix r/o water for what ever reason than you will need one.
Thanks! Are there any other test kits that I need that don't come with the API freshwater master kit?

Kosovo's Arsenal Fan Club is willing to inform you regarding how well we have achieved to organise to follow up with all Arsenal's games and events.
We have picked a place called ATELE Bar to watch all the games, we have started to regularly meet up and watch games since November 10th 2013. It was completely different before, because each fan of Arsenal picked a certain place to watch games. Even though this place called ATELE is not convenient to gather as a group of fans, we are putting a lot of efforts in to find a proper place, and we are trying to do our best to organise and manage our Fan Club. So we took this initiative to address some of our issues and ask for recognition of Kosovo's Arsenal Fan Club.

Hot Dogs Or Legs Tumblr Pokes Fun At Popular Instagram Selfies
A blog that quickly went viral picks up on the resemblance between a certain kind of photo and the processed meat.
Thanks to a new tumblr, aptly named 'Hot-dog legs', the question of the summer has become "hot dogs or legs?" Most users of any social media platform (Facebook and Instagram being the most susceptible) are familiar with the summer selfie showing off the photographer's tan, skinny legs at a flattering angle, accompanied by some enviable outdoor setting, but the resemblance of said legs to a couple of hot dogs had gone undiscovered by the general populace, until now.
The viral blog has a simple premise: images containing real legs are interspersed with the fakes, and the viewer is simply asked, "are they hot dogs or legs?" The uncanny resemblance makes this a harder question to answer than one would think, and with no answer key, the viewer is left wondering. Mashable reveals the tumblr's mastermind to be Alexis Brault, of French-Canadian cooking blog Bob le Chef, who noticed the similarity and thought, "Why not make it look as if it was a trend that already existed on the Internet that I picked up?"

I'm in the same boat, Fluffy. I haven't had super long hair in a while so that's why I'm trying to get it there now. Well, here's the silver lining--if you cut it and once your hormones stabilize, you can grow it out nice and long and super healthy. It'll grow out faster if you're not having to deal with the breakage or dryness you're dealing with now. And, in the meanwhile, you get to look chic and stylish. You also won't have a baby pulling your hair which should be a welcome reprieve.

Harley Hoarse
December 2, 1998
Harley Bull's Pen
by Bill Barker (email@example.com)
If you're talking about Harley Davidson (NYSE: HDI), the first phrase that may come to mind is "kickin' butt and takin' names." Take a gander at the 10-year chart for HDI, and understand that that definitely translates into a monster butt-kickin' that Harley handed the S&P 500 and then let's move onto the "takin' names" section of this little lesson. Coke, Berkshire Hathaway, The Gap -- those are just some of the names of companies you may have thought were great investments over the last ten years. By comparison though, Harley's left them all in the dust, and the good news for potential purchasers is, Harley is still a lot cheaper than any of those others.
Harley Davidson manufactures and sells heavyweight, touring, and custom motorcycles and motorcycle parts, accessories and clothing, as well as providing financing to its dealers. Harley is the only major American motorcycle manufacturer, and has held the largest share of the U.S. heavyweight motorcycle market since 1986. "The Motor Company," as it is affectionately known by its legion of extremely loyal customers, has been just about the smoothest growth machine imaginable over the last decade.
There are, literally, no numbers which do not look spectacular for this company. At the top-line, sales are growing at a steady 15% per year, and Harley can't build bikes fast enough to meet the demand. So great is the constant wait list demand, that year-old Harleys sell for 25% more than the list-price for a new vehicle. Woah. I know if you've read the How to Buy a Car section of the Fool's school, you know to never think of a car as an "investment," but a Harley is a vehicle that breaks the rule.
Moving down the income statement from the well-oiled top-line sales growth, Harley's ever-increasing efficiency has produced ever-improving margins. Whereas gross margins were around 28% at the beginning of the decade, they moved up to 33% in the middle of the decade, and currently are at nearly 40% over the last twelve months with no signs of anything but further improvement.
In a 1997 Fortune article, part of the reason for Harley's increased efficiency was explained: "In-house, a rigorous quality-control program kick-started talk at all levels of the company. With every employee involved in some form of variable compensation, [Harley's CEO Richard] Teerlink has 5,000 people talking about how to improve the place and its products."
Variable compensation? Doesn't that mean options? Is this company diluting shareholder value with explosive option grants. Hardly. There has been no dilution of shares over the last six years, as Harley has employed a measured buyback program that has allowed it to keep compensating its satisfied employees very well without diluting shareholder value at all. The company plan is to continue to repurchase the number of shares issued in connection with the exercise of stock options each year. Additionally, the company is authorized to repurchase up to 1% of all outstanding shares beyond that, an authorization that allows the company to take advantage of momentary weakness in the stock price, as occurred during the recent market "correction."
All of this has translated into one of the absolute best investments on the planet, bar none. According to a Fortune article entitled Killer Strategies That Make Shareholders Rich, an article which explicitly discusses investments in great investments in terms of their being rule breakers (cf. Rule Breakers, Rule Makers: A Foolish Guide to Picking Stocks), Harley is one of only nine companies that produced a total annual return to shareholders between 1986 and 1996 of over 42%, just barely trailing Intel's record over the same period.
Ah, but that's in the past you say. "We know Harley has been kickin' butt -- but what about the future?" Harley has now completed construction on its two new engine plants, and is expected to roll out its first major engine redesign in over 60 years. The new Twin Cam 88 engine is expected to supercharge sales, pumping this year's 148,000 units up to approximately 200,000 per annum by 2003.
With all of these stunningly good numbers set out, I expect two half-hearted arguments out of my worthy Dueling opponent here. First, that motorcycle sales are just a fad, and secondly, that the stock is overpriced.
To take the fad argument apart first, understand this -- Harley owners are fanatically loyal, obsessed even, with their machines. As CEO Teerlink has said, "There's a high degree of emotion that drives our success. We symbolize the feelings of freedom and independence that people really want in this stressful world." Freedom. Independence. Those are pretty good feelings to associate with your product, right? Those are concepts that are about as far from ever falling out of style as anything I can possibly imagine. People aren't riding Harleys because they saw some guy too sexy for his shirt riding one. Exactly the opposite. Harleys are the antithesis of a fad -- they're nostalgia. And with flush baby boomers just hitting 50, the demand for Harleys has got nothing but clear road ahead.
As to the valuation, I just hope I don't see another one of those "higher P/E than its growth rate" arguments. Assuming a 15% growth rate over the next ten years (that's a more conservative assumption than consensus expectations) and 5% thereafter (extremely conservative), on the basis of the trailing earnings and a 10% discount rate, on a discounted cash flow basis HDI currently has an intrinsic value of about $65 a share. So Harley is trading at about a 40% discount to its intrinsic value based upon some pretty conservative assumptions.
If you want to assume the 17% growth rate accorded by analysts, and that worldwide demand is not going to be basically quenched 10 years from now, and the fact that the remarkable stability of Harley's earnings could justify an even lower discount rate, this stock starts looking remarkably cheap.

French chef Roellinger gives up his three Michelin stars
CANCALE, France (Reuters Life!) - French chef Olivier Roellinger is handing back the three Michelin stars awarded to his restaurant Le Relais Gourmand on France's Brittany coast and closing up shop this week, hoping for an easier life.
After 24 years in the Michelin guidebook, Roellinger, 53, said problems with his leg meant he could no longer be on his feet all day, running his restaurant that boasts the top Michelin rating after starting as a guest house and restaurant in 1982.
His skilful marriage of local seafood -- with the area well known for its oysters -- and South Asian spices, earned the restaurant a Michelin star in 1984 and a second in 1988.
"We obtained the third star in 2006, which was marvelously satisfying. I was 50 years old, and already had physical problems, a leg problem, and I that I wasn't going to be able to continue for very long," he told Reuters Television.
"But I said to myself, I need to hang on for at least three years. I held on for three years, and today, it would not be reasonable for me to continue to cook, to be on my feet in front of my piano, so to speak, for close to eight hours a day."
Roellinger, who closes Le Relais Gourmand on December 15, said his physical problems stemmed from an attack in Cancale in 1976 by a gang of youths who beat him with iron bars and left him for dead.
He spent the following two years recovering then launched a career as a chef, becoming the only chef to run a restaurant in Brittany with three Michelin stars.
The Relais Gourmand will close, but Roellinger and his wife Jane will continue to operate other eateries and shops that are part of their Maisons de Bricourt company, such as the bistro restaurant Le Coquillage which includes a cooking school, spice shop, bed-and-breakfast, and a bakery.
Diner Katrine Bienvenu who traveled nearly 400 kms (250 miles) from Paris for her last meal at Relais Gourmand, said the closure was sad but it was not the end. Continued...

Thanks KingDog !
Just to prevent this from gettin buried. I really would like to switch back to make extended licenses available, so please, clarify this asap.
Hi all guys.
First our pesronal thanks to Pinkzebra, for starting this thread. Second, we agree to disable our extended licence: AJ authors work hard to produce nice music and, in our opinion, is unfair to buy a music track, a logo track and even a SFX to offer in a VH project just for free. So, to express our solidarity to all AudioJungle authors who have choosen to disable their extend licence selling, we do the same until this issue will be settled.
Furthermore, we have the hard convinction that is not allowed to resale a music track in a PROJECT . Most VH authors do exactly this: they sell projects not complete products.
bumpity bump
[x] extended licenses disabled
Just realised that you could buy extended license of logo reveal sound for like 25$ and include that to your Videohive-project
I would not want to disable the item extended license, but if this issue is not resolved fairly, I also turn off the option. Honestly, so far I have not seen a queue for an extended license ... I think that this whole issue – just a misunderstanding, and hope for the best!
Lance, were you able to take a look at this issue?
Bumpedy bump bump
Guys, please prepare an answer for this, really would like to switch extended lcenses back on. Clarification please
Why will staff still not communicate on these type of threads there's not many to watch like this after all?
I bet if I put a link to something 'non audiojungle ' someone might come along….!!!
I hope this thread receives an answer from Lance soon. It's important.
Yep, really needs to be addressed, I've also had to disable Extended Licences now – hellooooooo envatoooooo?

I feel that I need to clarify the point I was trying to make by relating my story of what happened to me years ago. Reference post #23 if you haven't read the whole thread.
At the time this happened I was eighteen years old. The older BG was big, really big. The younger BG was about my size which was well built average size. They both had guns inches from my head and standing at the 11 and 3 O'Clock positions. The older BG probably could have killed me with his bare hands. I was a wrestler in High School but other than that I had no training in self defense methods, physical or otherwise. I didn't really have very many options available to me. I recognized that one of them was young and afraid. I saw this as my best option. Keep in mind the BG already stated that he is going to kill me. I knew I needed to do something or else I would die right there.
I survived that night. But I feel it was because I was very lucky. And because of that night my life changed. I swore never to be at the mercy of the BG again. I began to train in martial arts and various self defense techniques. I grew up shooting guns and hunting but after that night weapons took on a new meaning for me.
In the pursit of self defense I learned some very important lessons. The most important one was that I could have recognized what was going down by using 'Situational Awareness'. There was a moment where I could have drawn on them before they got the drop on me.
But know this. If I ever find myself with guns pointed at me again, I will use the gun and or ability that I have trained myself with for the last 35 years! I won't be depending on luck. Remember, I gave them what they wanted and they were still going to kill me. Would having a gun made a difference that night? Would I be here today if one of them hadn't been a minor and afraid? I don't know. I do know that I can increase the odds in my favor should I ever be faced with it again.
To the OP; Just having a gun isn't enough. Start training now and never stop. Give yourself every advantage you can. Learn to shoot your gun in every situation you can think of. Learn 'Situational Awareness'. Learn from others. This forum is a good place to learn. I wish I had discovered it long ago. There are lots of really informative threads and mature, experienced members here. We all have different views of how and when we would use a gun but we all agree that using a gun to defend yourself and your family is a good thing. Welcome to the forum.
A gun is like a toolbox. To achieve its full potential you have to fill it with tools and learn how to use them.

Houses for Sale: Deciding Factors Towards Purchase
A quick review of listings of houses for sale reveals the enormous spectrum of house styles on the market in most American communities. Logistics and financial considerations are,of course, the driving factors for most househunters.
Harder to quantify than mortgage rates is a factor that is as intangible as it is compelling:
Is this house for sale the one that I want to call home?
When you find the house for sale that fulfills your vision of style and comfort, youve likely found the right fit.
Here are 3 ways to pinpoint the right fit:
Architectural style
Formal architectural styles, including Colonial, Georgian, Victorian and Craftsman, are tied to periods of American history.
The styles reflect the culture of the day for instance, the symmetrical facades of Colonial and Federalist styles mirror those eras emphasis on building the legal system and economy, while whimsical Victorians celebrate the intersection of creativity and mass-produced building techniques.
You will often find quite a few cottages in any list of houses for sale. Cottages are typically scaled-down versions of the formal architectural style of the day. Bungalows, for instance, are a branch of the Craftsman style, which emphasizes built-ins, geometric woodwork, and cozy spaces intended to foster family togetherness.
Contemporary homes run the gamut from flat-out modern, with glass curtain walls and glossy interior finishes, to suburban versions of classic architectural styles.
As you review your short list of homes for sale, pay attention to your intuitive response to their style and layout. You will soon recognize your own priorities, and that will help you winnow down the list of homes for sale under consideration.
Condition of Houses for Sale
Do you consider homeownership a lifestyle or primarily an economic and logistic decision?
If you imagine yourself decorating, gardening, and working on home projects, home projects will likely take up much of your leisure time.
A fixer-upper might rise to the top of your list of homes for sale. If not, you will want to weed out older homes and those needing updating from your list of homes for sale, and concentrate on new homes that require minimal upkeep, or even a condo.
Lifestyle amenities
How will you live in the house?
Will you work from home, spend significant time entertaining, acquire a small herd of pets or build a dream backyard for your children?
The amenities that come with the house for sale, or that you can economically add to the house, will be key to your satisfaction. Be sure to square your expected improvements with market realities.
Filtering the list of potential houses for sale by style, condition, and amenities will help you quickly narrow the field to the top candidates.
Selling your house by owner is easy!

Wrapping Paper
I used to use cloth bags for Christmas gifts....but I had to switch to wrapping paper b/c some Houseapes became "snoopy" around Christmastime.lol. This year, I've ran low on recycled wrapping paper & I just don't feel like braving the crowds to go to the Dollar Tree to buy any, so........I have used white packing paper, brown paper bags.....even piecing together odds & ends of mismatched wrapping paper to make a bigger sheet to wrap with (I'm pathetic.lol)....but I'm having alot of fun doing this.....even my older kids who had went out & bought presents are doing the same thing & are not turned off by it

A friend of mine used to start saving the funnies from the Sunday papers months ahead of Xmas and that was her wrapping paper..........it was colorful and cute.
You would have to see it, but when all the gifts are wrapped in this colorful paper under the tree it looks cute.12-08-2010, 02:08 PM #6
If that's pathetic, I must be really bad. Last year I used plain brown paper that came in a box from Amazon, but I added things cut from magazines. This year for wrapping paper I used an old atlas that was about to be tossed out for being out of date.
I don't feel comfortable paying money for something that is going to be thrown out. At least by using something other than actual wrapping paper, people will pay a little bit of attention before tearing it off.12-08-2010, 04:05 PM #7

I have wrapping paper that I bought several years back for pennies on the dollar. I won't have to buy any for YEARS!12-08-2010, 05:50 PM #9
Sounds like a great idea! Look at Hallmarks website. You might be able to print a coupon for $10 off a $10 purchase. But I would think what you are doing would be lots of fun and pretty all piled together.12-08-2010, 07:21 PM #10
i will never purchase wrapping ppr again from the dollar store! last year i did and ended up wasting ALOT. it ripped very easily....so, i went back to my old ways...bought it the day after xmas last year and bought lots of very good quality paper for more than 50% off....

shed flooring
Good afternoon everyone, I am building a little workshop, the inside floor space measures 10'x16'. It is resting on two 8x12x12 skids with insulated 2x6 framing, a 3/4" cdx subfloor and 1.5" polyiso foam over it with 2x4 joists. I bought some 3/4" 4x8 t&g to use as underlayment to sandwhich the foamboard.
I am wondering how I can seal the floor from water. I was considering using leftover kitchen vinyl with rubber garage tile over it. Another option I am considering is laying down some concrete to seal it. I siliconed and foamed both the cdx and foamboard.
Edit: I forgot to add I have several hundred sq ft. of laminate flooring left over I am using some for the ceiling, wasn't srure how it would hold up for use on the floor with water and moisture from winter use, i.e snowblowers and such being stored in this building.
2 X 4 floor joist is about 1/2 the size floor joist that should have been used. Forget the concrete, it's just going to crack with floor joist that flimsy.
CDX was never intended as an exposted siding, your going to have to cover it with something or it's just going to delaminate.
Concrete is too expensive for me anyway now, I missed the deadline for the barge so the only option is airfreight and that makes a 80lbs bag over $100 landed.

AND don't forget your chosen referee must:
- be over 25 and in full time employment
- be contactable at their registered business address on their landline number during office hours i.e. Mon-Fri, 9.00 – 17.00 - we will definitely call them!
and they must not:
- be related to you by birth or marriage nor live with you.
- be self-employed, sole traders or those working from home/residential address
Route 1 referee - countersigns a copy of your ID

Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, Gefitinib, and Radiation Therapy Followed by Surgery and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Cancer of the Esophagus or Gastroesophageal Junction That Can Be Removed By Surgery
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving these treatments before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving gefitinib after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel, cisplatin, gefitinib, and radiation therapy followed by surgery and gefitinib works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction that can be removed by surgery.
|Esophageal Cancer
|Drug: cisplatin Drug: gefitinib Drug: paclitaxel Genetic: gene expression analysis Other: immunohistochemistry staining method Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Other: pharmacological study Procedure: adjuvant therapy Procedure: biopsy Procedure: conventional surgery Procedure: neoadjuvant therapy Radiation: radiation therapy
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Phase II Study in Operable Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus to Measure Response Rate and Toxicity of Preoperative Combined Modality Paclitaxel (Taxol®, Bristol-Myers Squibb), Cisplatin (Platinol®, Abbott Laboratories), ZD1839 (IRESSA®) and Radiotherapy Followed by Postoperative ZD1839
- Pathologic complete response rate to the neoadjuvant regimen [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTC v2.0 [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Safety [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Time to progression [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
- Correlation between EGFR pathway component expression and activation with pathologic complete response and survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: cisplatin
- Determine the pathologic complete response rate in patients with resectable, locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction treated with neoadjuvant paclitaxel, cisplatin, gefitinib, and radiotherapy followed by surgery and adjuvant gefitinib.
- Determine the survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
- Determine time to disease progression in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of unbound gefitinib in these patients.
- Conduct exploratory studies to determine if EGFR pathway component expression and activation correlates with response to therapy and survival of these patients.
- Determine if treatment with gefitinib alters the EGFR pathway in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a prospective study.
- Neoadjuvant therapy: Patients receive oral gefitinib beginning 14 days prior to the start of chemoradiotherapy and continuing until 7 days prior to surgery (10-12 weeks). Patients also receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV over 2-3 hours on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. Patients also undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks.
- Surgery: Patients undergo surgical resection 4-6 weeks after the completion of neoadjuvant therapy.
- Adjuvant therapy: Patients receive gefitinib once a day beginning 2-8 weeks after surgery and continuing for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Blood samples are obtained at baseline and periodically during study for pharmacokinetic studies. Tumor tissue samples are obtained by core biopsy at baseline for biomarker correlative studies. Samples are analyzed by IHC to measure expression and activation of EGFR-signaling pathway biomarkers in pretreatment esophageal tumor tissue, including EGFR and phosphorylated (p)-EGFR, ERK and p-ERK, Akt and p-Akt, p70s6k and p-p70s6k, and p27.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for at least 5 years.

Canada activist shareholder Alboini suspended, fined
By Cameron French
TORONTO (Reuters) - Activist investor Vic Alboini, an outspoken critic of Research in Motion, has been suspended and fined by Canada's investment industry watchdog after he was found to have engaged in improper and risky trading.
In a decision released late on Monday, the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) imposed on Alboini a two-year suspension "in all capacities" (trading or dealing) and fines totaling C$625,000 ($624,200) for actions taken in his capacity as chief executive of Canadian dealer Northern Securities, a unit of Northern Financial Corp.
Alboini is also permanently banned from being an "ultimate designated person." A UDP oversees an investment dealer's compliance system and is often the firm's CEO.
IIROC found that in late 2008, Alboini "engaged in a trading practice which improperly obtained access to credit" for his client at the time, Jaguar Financial, "and in doing so risked the capital of both Northern Securities and its carrying broker." Alboini is also CEO of Jaguar.
He also failed to ensure that Northern Securities corrected deficiencies in its business conduct and trading practices, IIROC said.
IIROC handed out smaller penalties to Frederick Vance, who as chief compliance officer at Northern was found to have failed to adequately supervise Alboini's trading activity, and to Douglas Chornoboy, who as chief financial officer filed or allowed the filing of inaccurate monthly financial reports.
Vance was given two concurrent three-month suspensions from acting in any supervisory capacity and fines of C$50,000. Chornoboy was fined C$25,000.
Northern Securities itself was fined C$300,000. Continued...
