The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan embodies everything that a luxury car should be. It's built like an Austrian vault, packs in more technology than a Japanese robotics lab and operates with the silence of a Canadian monastery. So, of course, it's very, very German.
And yes, it's spectacularly expensive.
If there's a feature you can imagine, Mercedes has probably already installed it as standard equipment on the S-Class. Most of the stuff that you can't imagine is already on the options list. After all, the S-Class will scan the road ahead for divots and bumps and then adjust the suspension in anticipation of the impact. The seats have a six-way massage system built in. And if how a car smells is a top consideration, the S-Class offers four different aromatic fragrances that will permeate the cabin.
Mercedes offers the S-Class with five different powertrains. The "base" S-Class is the S550 with a 4.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 under its hood, rated at a healthy 449 horsepower. An alternative to that is the S550e plug-in hybrid with a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter V6 and a supplementary electric motor fed by a battery pack that is rated at a combined 436 hp. Third up is the S600, which has a massive 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V12 rated at 523 hp and a stupendous 612 pound-feet of peak torque. Getting into the high-performance models built by AMG, the automaker's in-house tuning shop, there's the AMG S 63 sedan. It has a handcrafted 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 beating within it to the tune of 577 hp. And finally, at the summit of this intimidating peak is the AMG S 65, which thunders with a tuned version of the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 rated at a stupefying 621 hp and 738 lb-ft of peak torque. The S550 is also available with Mercedes 4Matic all-wheel-drive system: as if snow would dare to fall upon your majestic presence and make the roads sloppy.
For many buyers, the S-Class represents a class unto itself. There is no substitute, no alternative and no car that comports itself with such dignity and comfort. It's something special. And it's the only Mercedes vehicle sold in the United States that still uses a three-pointed star hood ornament. It isn't available with an oversize star in the front grille.
At this rarefied level, it's easy to forget that the S-Class is still a real car and that it takes real money to buy it. You know that, and so does Edmunds. Use all the buying tools we have to get the best deal on the 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class that's perfect for you.

its so so wet - hoof care ...and grass(14 Posts)
Hi all - ist year of having pony- we have cob and connemara.worried re hooves - really soggy in field - i s it best to bring in at night and what hoof care needed???- they are in wet grass /puddle all day...also grass and mud = v little grass - how do we know if they are getting enough food???thankyou x
Firstly, feed by eye. Google 'fat scoring', and just go with your gut. I personally like them a LITTLE bit chunky at this time of year (but dont forget that we may well get a grass growth surge in autumn), to have something to fall back on over the winter, but am happy for them to go into the spring a LITTLE skinny, so that I dont have to restrict the grass too much. If they look ok then they are probably getting enough grass and feed.
Being wet shouldnt be too much of a problem, just keep a good eye on their soles for thrush, and watch the cobs fetlocks and heels for mud fever/bog burn.
Stabling really depends on if you want to ride them much over winter or not. If you do, you have two options. Stable and rug them now, so they dont grow too much coat, or leave them out for now, then clip them when they start to get sweaty in work, and then stable and rug them. By the sounds of your field, they wont be able to be out much anyway if it gets much wetter or freezes.
MANY thanks saggy.Waht does bog burn and mud fever look like and how to treat please and if they got soggy heels wd that mean bring then in a least for the night..
riding in winter .... .conemara- probably be ridden at weekends in winter mostly and v occ in week as dd s at school and too dark winter afterwards- cob - mine x 3 or 4 hacking out in walk trot -( both ponies will do 5 mile hacks at w ends tho, inc trot .canter .ie more active..)
Mud fever is scabbiness on the heels or pasterns. Its caused by a mite/microbe. Its generally in the ground, and if its there, its there. Ive never had it, but IIRC its kind of granulous and crusty and weeps serum if you pick it. There are different ideas about treatment, some say remove the scabs, then apply barrier cream, some say dont pick. Personally, id wash with Hibiscrub (antibacterial and antimicrobial) and then apply a good layer of sudocreme, as soon as I saw it.
FWIW, sudocreme is fantastic for all sorts. Sunburn, cuts and grazes, crusty heels...
Mine spent a winter out in a horrid muddy field with standing water. They were fine thankfully, no side effects to the feet. They get a little soft underneath, but soon dry out, and its really usefull for foot trimming! Their feet all looke amazing on the outside. clean, and moisturised and shiny!
Dont forget that Connies come from boggy ireland!
Hi books, mine and DH's horses lives out all year round, but or fields have a slope so they can always get out of the wet. I keep their feet nice with a good hoof dresing (I use Kevin Bacon) and never hose mud off the legs as I was told this drives bacteria into the skin. Basically, just make sure that you pick feet and check legs daily, and I agree with Saggy about the value of sudocreme for just about anything.
With regard to food, there are two things to take into account; nutritional content (ie how many calories they are getting) and the need for the gut to be kept moving (ie horse is getting enough bulk to keep the gut healthy).
For the first I agree with Saggy, condition score. Know what your horses are like at optimum condition and aim to maintain that, give or take (but as Saggy says, a bit over coming into winter and a bit under coming into spring is ideal for a good doer)
For the second point you need to keep an eye on how much they are pooing. If the quantity of poo reduces significantly then the horse needs bulk otherwise there isn't enough fibre going through the gut which causes problems. In that case, if the horse still has good weight, they need very low calorie fibre (eg soaked hay)
As regards work and clipping etc, DH and I don't clip, we allow them to get full coats and ride mainly at walk, including lots of hills to maintain some fitness, then we get them properly fit again in the spring.
GD's connemara was clipped and in at night or when very cold last winter because she did Pony Club and hunted (and rode in the indoor school every evening) and teenagers generally don't want to be as sedate as us.
What dd will have to decide though is which road she's going down: if pony's clipped and in then she will need to be kept in full work which will mean that dd has to ride even when she doesn't feel like it (and it will depend on whether you have a school with lights) If not clipping then you just have to manage the work so that pony isn't getting sweaty and uncomfortable. Saggy's suggestion of rugging up early to prevent her getting a big coat is a good compromise if you're looking for a halfway house.
Sorry for the essay. Try not to get too hung up on what could go wrong. Winter with horses has its pleasures as well as its problems.
our pony got bog burn from standing in wet grazing (entirely his choice!) last year, had never seen or heard of it before. His feathers fell out and he was all pink skinned legs. It wasn't very nice for the poor silly thing because he then had to endure a stable and separation from his love the horse.
so something else to look out for!
You absolutely do not need to worry about wet hooves - in fact, for optimum corn growth and strength it should be frequently exposed to wet! In an ideal world your nags would stand in water as they drank.
Shit in mud is an issue though - so make sure your poo-pick.
Hi All - thanks again for advice.
I think that we will only really canter at weekends - me and cob and dd will be in the school in the dark a couple times a week and hack at weekends were will canter ...so its poss we need to not clip conemara...
Trebles- how are you - was thinking of your gd pony, and wondering how things, and you ,are ...
.What are the winter pleasures of having horses - this will be my Ist .... -
Also why do they come in at night - summer or winter- my dd s conemara always had done before we got her.i think it was to prevent her getting too fat in summer ...but does she need to this time of year- we have ben leaving her out... - i know it sounds silly but apart from to protect land - is there a reason .i would think - not based on knowledge !!!- that its natural for them to be out????.is there whether a horse does not like or affects them...i heard someone say its not fair for them to be out and i wasnt sure what it meant.I think they said the horse was cold...??however out feild has v little shelter so is it actually best for the horse to come in overnight???so much to learn...when would you bring a horse in....do they suffer in the wet and cold.
Also trebles and all- im admitting something !!! im trying not to humanise a horse as im a big softy and am mindful that i may think inncorect things like putting it to bed when it doesnt need it or want it -so its " COSY!"....so im trying to percieve what i would do in horse terms not my own human ones - based on little knowledg e!! but at same time want to know what to look out for and how to take proper care of them. I had no idea re the stomach thing for eg.
Another question - i sometimes just stand in the horses stable as i enjoy the quiet and my pony lets me stroke her - would she move away if didnt like it or wd she be simply putting up with me ????!!!i also talk to her all the time -..
Last question - promise !!!!! my cob tries to come home when on hack by self - she doesnt turn much as i stop her etc but is hesitant as if its always on her mind i want to go home !!! whinnies at times if near another stable in passing- this is really silly ... but.... i love hacking out by myself as it so peaceful and i feel mean that i make her go !!! i know she wd, and does, love it with another pony at w end,,i know that they are attatched to other ponies and i feel mean ...its embarasing to admit !!!! such a softy - but i wanted to share this !!!!am i mean..
Hi books, all going well with gd and pony, thanks for asking.
Some like to come in at night (our old pony, for example, who's fine and difficult to keep up to weight) The rest are best off turned out as much as possible, in my view. Horses which are stabled, fed hard feed and clipped need to do a lot of work, otherwise they can get a bit sharp!
Unless you need your horses mega fit I'd keep them out as much as possible. If you want to be able to still do a bit of faster work though you'll need to keep them reasonably fit so make sure that your midweek sessions include some faster work. I don't think it's fair to only canter at weekends, either keep them in moderate work or wind down (but this is a bit of a bugbear of mine as the woman I bought mine from used to keep her out (unclipped) in the winter and ride her once a week which was usually a fast ride out with a mutual friend on his big, fit hunter)
A good half-way is to rug now to limit coat growth, give them a low trace clip when they need it and invest in good turnout rugs for when it's cold, then bring them in if you need to overnight when it's very cold or wet, but they are both hardy breeds so I'd try not to mollycoddle too much, or you'll have fat horses come the spring. But there's nothing wrong with tucking them up in a nice cosy bed once in a while. That's one of the pleasures of winter
Re cuddles, some like it, some don't. Mine's a cuddler, which I love. She'll let you know if she's not enjoying it!
As regards hacking on your own, I really, really wouldn't do it as you're not very experienced and your horse is still green. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be harsh, but things can go very wrong, very fast. If you've got someone with you the horses are more likely to cope with the unexpected. If you're alone you need to be a very experienced rider to instinctively act correctly when faced with a big problem.
There's no reason why horses shouldn't hack out by themsleves, some are better than others, but it doesn't sound as though she minds too much and the more they go out alone the more they get used to it.
We have a connie but at moment fields are fine and plenty of grass. She doesn't get fed until coming in at night (about November) - just grass until then - as she is only ridden at weekends (maybe once in mid-week). She is plenty fat enough.
You have to watch their shape, their poos and also what work they are doing to guage food requirements.
She is unrugged at the moment (to help shift some lard!) but the welshies are already rugged because cold at night now. We take their rugs off in the daytime if forecast is good.
Once Connie is really wooly we'll clip her so that she doesn't sweat when riddden. Then she'll have a coat on and will start coming in at night. Ours go out in the daytime all year round.
Rugging helps keep them warm - essential if clipped - and also clean/dry if you are riding regularly although be prepared for people to say you're a wuss!
Get some advice on feeding from a specialist - maybe pick a brand and ring their advisors (always got useful info from Baileys).
oh and to answer your original question you shouldn't have any problems with their feet in wet weather. Just get your farrier to check them when he comes to shoe/trim them.
Do watch for mudfever though - scabs around fetlocks, pasterns - and do as Saggy suggest.
thans again all- just been up to stables and was discussing it - owner said leave em out rug for connemara and not for cob - at least now.they mentioned that in winte when the ground if " TOO BAD " we have to keep in stable all day and just in a turn out area when muck out - is this usual id like em to be out more but love our stables.it didnt seem negotiable ..
I'd not be happy to keep horses or ponies in all day for more than a day or so. For me THAT is non negotiable!
saggy- i agree - looks like we have to look for new stable which is shame as we love were we are..

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Bakfiets' category.
Thursday evening: the box outside the workshop and ready for delivery to college for the judging.
I didn't take it all the way on the Bakfiets. I designed the project to be small enough for easy transport on the Xtracycle, but this plan was scuppered by having to take lots of tools and wood for the exam on the same day.
Yesterday the three of us being examined delivered our projects and built a chair in seven hours. The official letter to say if we passed or not arrives on Monday.
Right now I'm adjusting to the idea that I don't have to do any more maths equations…
Gloves, for me, are frequently elsewhere: either forgotten at home, or at my destination, or in the worst case scenario, somewhere in the middle lying forlornly on the road and waiting for me to roll by and pick them up.
For gloves, also read 'groceries'; 'shopping'; 'college notes'; 'wallet'… If I can put it down and forget it, I will. I think German Railways are financing a couple of large-scale projects with the proceeds from hats I've left on trains, and although I haven't managed to lose my bike yet I know in my heart that it is only (1) because it is too big to forget easily, and (2) only a matter of time.
So when I set out this week to make some photocopies of rather important certificates, buy some stationery for Eldest Son, and then pick up something from the Chemist for Beautiful daughter, I was determined. Nothing Would Go Missing.
First the printer, I went in, made the photocopies, dropped them, picked them up, sorted them, and departed with everything organised, in the folder, uncrumpled, and without leaving the original on the glass. Success.
Next, the stationery shop, where Eldest and I managed to meet with the minimum of amusing 'just missing each other' moments* and we were able to pick up a worryingly small pack pf pens that we carefully zipped into a pocket: you can't be too careful.
Two down, one to go: the Chemist was the next stop, where they actually had what we needed. This was also zipped away and we headed out of the door. Success was ours, All Items Would Be Delivered.
By now it was getting a little cold. As we stepped outside I reached for my gloves…
*Uses for a Bakfiets #873: instant meeting point/landmark.**
**Do not attempt in Amsterdam.
After getting its fifteen minutes of fame a couple of weeks ago, the Bakfiets is now back doing the usual job, carrying 20kg of seed potatoes, 1 kilo of onions, some shopping bags for shopping in the next village, several pieces of very beautiful wood that is apparently uneconomical to work with and therefore fit only for burning unless I took it out of the workshop, three bags of rather smelly compost, a candle and a 'rubble bucket' How long before the poor thing gets as filthy as before? I reckon a week.
For those interested the seed potatoes are half earlies and half lates, we are supposed to plant after May the 20th here because the climate can still throw a wobbly and freeze before then, so I'm not too late this year. As usual I read the label showing the variety very carefully and promptly forgot it before I'd left the shop.
The Bakfiets spent the weekend being a "Fair Trade" shop at our local church. The shop was part of a general ecological information stand, so it made sense to show people an alternative form of transport as part of the display, and it got us noticed.
As the Bakfiets usually spends its weekends being used as a sort of farm truck, I spent a large part of Friday afternoon scraping the mud and cow poo off so it would be fit to be used for selling foodstuffs: I don't think it has been this clean since the day I rode it out of Amsterdam. More people asked about the price of the bike than the contents. One or two people made sarcastic comments when they heard the price, then went off muttering when I pointed out it was the same as a car costs in about four months.
We got far more positive comments though, and a special mention in the announcements just for the Bakfiets
And I was allowed to ride my bike into the church hall, so it was worth it for that alone.
*This is a blatant ripoff of this post by Kim Harding.
It turns out that riding the Bakfiets in all weathers as a family car/removal van/pickup truck/farm tractor, on and off-road in some very hilly places does make an occasional bit of maintenance necessary. Last week the brakes began to protest at my callous lack of attention to their needs by making a high-pitched squeal that caused dogs to howl, horses to bolt and cows to go off milking every time we tried to slow the bike down.
Not having any real experience with roller brakes I sent off an email to the nice people at Workcycles, who as usual responded extremely fast with the advice that the brakes need greasing now and again, preferably about every six months: the Bakfiets is nearly five years old so it was probably a good time to start, once I'd worked out how.
A quick search with the mighty Internet returned lots of advice, mostly with pictures of people dismantling entire hubs and rebuilding them, which was a bit beyond my capabilities, but the Shimano website helpfully showed an exploded diagram of the hub with two little holes which were apparently there for the purpose of adding the grease, but not just any grease, oh, no: this job called for the super-duper Shimano wonder goo which costs the same as molten gold but obviously absolutely essential as with a normal inferior grease the whole brake system would be destroyed. If I hadn't managed this already.
I rode the Bakfiets over to my friendly bike shop for advice, and after the owners' ears had finished bleeding from the noise he confirmed that grease was needed. I asked tentatively how much the whole operation would cost, given that the brakes were badly abused in the first place, possible removal and replacement of the hub, and the liquid gold that would be needed to avoid disaster.
He got out a syringe and squirted normal gearbox grease into the two holes. Sorted.
I showered his tips jar with gold, bought two brake levers for the Xtracycle (another story I'll bore you with sometime) and cycled home. Not a squeak from the brakes.
Shifting stuff down to the garden would be a logistical nightmare if it wasn't for the Bakfiets. I got hold of a load of used wood and had to take it to store under the roof of the shed.
It isn't obvious from the picture but the wood does hang over the front by quite a bit. Perfectly safe but a bit lively on bumps. I'm also glad I didn't have to explain this method to any representatives of the civil authority.
Youngest son had a birthday party a while back so Papa had to transport supplies (To make Minions, if you are wondering)
Notice glorious cycling weather.

Moreover, the comparative theory of open access and private property institutions fails to recognize the intermediate institution of common property, finesses dynamic optimization, and provides an incomplete account of governance. We provide a comparative statics framework for alternative modes of resource management, albeit one that allows for dynamic optimization, and show that open access can be efficient under conditions of low population pressure. We show that the intensification of production with population pressure in Hawaii co-evolved with specialization and increased governance, in accordance with the efficiency theory. Instead of market-based specialization, however, economic organization in pre-contact Hawaii was hierarchically determined via top-down management of the ahupua´a.

OoOoOo Dead or Alive oOoOoO
It was early when I finally woke up. He still laid next to me in the small tent. His face was at peace. I saw his chest rise and fall never stopping. I was close enough to feel the beating of his heart ba-bup ba-bup ba-bup. I couldn't hear mine, but I knew they beat the same. I started packing up. Without major movement I managed to escape the small area without waking Iruka up. I cooked up a quick breakfast for us as I continued looking for the remainder of my outfit. I finally cleared the area of any traces and began my way back to where our camp was at. Iruka was already up and had everything neatly folded including the tent.
"Good morning, I'm sorry did I wake you?"
"Not at all" He stood and handed me the small blanket and the wrapped up tent. "I woke up when I smelled fish cooking." I stuffed everything into my pack, at last I was done packing and all traces,except for the fire, were gone.
"Iruka-san." He looked up at me and smiled. So early in the morning and already that smile played on his lips. It never slept; it never ceased to exist.
"Iruka-san? What's with the title, Kakashi-sama?" He joked on the rest of the morning, and unlike the mornings I was used to, I laughed freely with him.
"Its pretty late into the day Iruka. I was to return yesterday night at the latest."
He looked at me and asked "Is this our goodbye then?"
He stood when I offered him my hand. I held him one last time in that dense forest. I couldn't let go then. I knew I couldn't. I had no solution to our problem, but I knew leaving him wasn't the answer.
"I don't want it to be goodbye." He looked at me and as if he knew my thoughts said
"You know I can't come with you. You belong to a village and I'm a runaway." His eyes teared up. "Unfortunately, fate has played a trick on us, Kakashi."
"You could come back with me." he looked up at me knowing the same thing I already knew. "You're really nice. You could be a teacher or something like that." It was impossible, but I didn't want it to be.
"Kakashi." We both knew the truth. It was there that silence finally filled our air. It was there that we finally said goodbye. I held him one more time, no, he held me. I kissed him and held his soft, warm hands in my worn and calloused ones.
"Will you be okay?"
"Don't worry about me. I've made it this far without you. I'm sure I can make it to the next village over. I'm sure I'll find home soon." I nodded and released his body.
"Goodbye Iruka."
"Bye Kakashi." With that I turned around, his hand slowly leaving mine, before I took off in the direction of Konoha.
I didn't rush back to Konoha. The tears that fell from my eyes begged me to turn back and return to him. I was close to losing everything. Konoha. I'd be there by tonight. I must have been going at a very slow pace because I encountered a rescue team. They verified that I was safe and well as soon as I was spotted. I was glad to have some company. I noticed the medical ninja weren't alone. With them they had a group of elite ninja. One of them held a small rag doll in a worn, blue kimono. I asked about it and soon they told me news I didn't wish to hear. The man who'd asked for this mission provided Konoha just recently with that doll. It had Iruka's scent all over it. The team asked for my assistance and without an alternative I called out Pakkun.
"I'll take care of it; you guys head back to Konoha."
I was hoping they'd leave and let me warn Iruka, but they insisted on staying. I took the small rag doll and let Pakkun smell before I stuffed it into my bag. We traveled at a fast pace pretty soon we were near where I'd left Iruka. It wasn't long after we passed that spot that we met up with him. Pakkun stopped and warned us he was up ahead. In an instant the team leader yelled out: "Dead or Alive boys, get him!".
I was watching this in slow motion. I cheered for Iruka to get away quickly. I prayed. Hopelessly, I prayed, but three ninja, who have been trained from childhood, are too much for any one man. They beat him. I watched helplessly, like a child seeing his parents murdered.
I would betray my village soon after.
My brain no longer moved me. It was my heart. I knocked out the medical team in an instant and stole their bags. In seconds I was on the three man team. I moved faster than any of them. My attacks weren't lethal, but immobilizing. The three men lay on the forest floor once I was done. I lifter Iruka off of the ground. I carried him and I didn't look back. I have traveled far since this afternoon. He has yet to awaken, and I have yet to stop. Rain began to fall as I traveled. That is a good thing. The rain has erased our scent trail. They won't come after us.
OoOoOo Our Destination oOoOoO
Finally, I found a spot to stop. I've been moving for a while and the soft wet ground feels as heavenly as a feather filled bed. Now I will have to treat Iruka. I have everything I need; bandages and supplies are all in the medical bag I removed from the ninja.
All I have to do now is wait for his beautiful eyes to open and his smile to return.
The moon is high tonight and the stars seem to shine brighter. I lay, my arms behind my head for support and my feet crossed in front of me. It seems so perfect. The one thing that could make it better...
"Kakashi?" I turn to him and once more I see that smile come to life. His soft skin has no scars only bruises.
"Iruka! Are you okay?"
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back at your village?"
"I couldn't do it. I saw them try and take you, and I couldn't bare it, so I took you."
"I can't say I don't appreciate it" he winced as he tried to sit up. ",but what about you?"
"What about me?"
"What will you do?" his eyes searched mine. I hadn't thought of it. I let my feelings do the talking.
"I will love you." Nothing else mattered. I had him and that was enough. "I love you."
He finally sat up. "Okay."
He laughed "I love you too."
"Good." I reached my hand over to his.
My village will forget. My friends can forgive. My life will go on with him.
OoOoOo Home oOoOoO
Its been days since it happened. I am happy. We've traveled for quite some time now. I'm sure we'll be okay now.
I hold him close now as he lays between my legs, his soft brown hair tickles my naked stomach as he moves his head. My arms lay over his and my hands entwine themselves with his.
"Where to now, Kakashi?"
I remember him speaking of home "Iruka, I can go with you and help you find home." I expected a warm 'yes we'll go home' but instead he laughed. That sweet laugh that filled the night and made it so serene.
"Kakashi," he moved in closer and faced me "I am home." I closed my eyes and accepted those soft lips once move. "We are home."
Thank you very much for making it to the end. Reviews are appreciated. If you can offer none I still offer my thanks to you for taking your time and reading this story. Arigato.

(The Hosting News) – Cloud computing company Rackspace has announced they will no longer be reviewing potential buyers for the sale of the company.
"After a comprehensive review, the board decided to terminate M&A discussions," said the company in a statement on Tuesday.
In May the web hosting company announced they were considering being acquired by another firm, though a month later announced they were considering taking itself off the public stock exchange by discussing making a deal with a private equity firm.
According to the New York Times, the company's revenues grew by $20 million in one quarter, resulting in sales growing faster than the last two years.
"We ran a thorough process under the direction of our board of directors, independent advisers and a strategic transaction committee of the board," stated Rackspace chairman Graham Weston. "In this process, we talked to a diverse group of interested parties and entertained different proposals. None of these proposals were deemed to have as much value as the expected value of our standalone plan."

TV aerials, also known as TV antennas, are a still quite common form of signal interception technology used, of course, for the reception of television signals. While these devices do remain quite common in the modern world, they have since lost ground to technologies such as satellite dishes and fiber optic cables, yet in many parts of the world they still remain popular and useful for picking up over the air signals for television broadcasts. Even in the most technologically advanced parts of the world, the sight of an array of TV aerials mounted across the rooftops of an entire neighborhood is still a quite common sight to behold.
There are two main types of TV aerial, indoor and outdoor. They are exactly what they sound like. Indoor aerials are intended to be set up inside a house, either on top of or very near to a television set, where it then picks up television signals from the air waves and transmits them into the television set. Of indoor aerials, there are two main subtypes, though others do exist.
The first type is the dipole type of aerial. This consists of two metal poles specially manufactured to pick up television signals. These poles can be manipulated in various directions, but their appearance has given rise to their more common nickname; "rabbit ears". The other main type of indoor aerial is the loop aerial, which is a simple metallic loop that uses a similar yet slightly different principle from dipole aerials to captured television signals and transmit them into a television set.
Outdoor aerials are of course another matter entirely. These devices are mounted on a sizable metal mast on top of the house that is receiving the signal, with a wire snaking down into the building itself that allows the signal to be picked up by televisions inside the building. Once a common sight, these devices are not as common as they had been, yet many older buildings still maintain their old aerials.
Among the more common types of outdoor aerials are the yagi-uda (also called the yagi) that is made up of metal rods placed parallel to one another and mounted on top of a mast, where it intercepts television signals. Another common type of outdoor aerial is the log periodic aerial, as well as the UHF multi bay aerial, which uses a reflective array aerial to capture its signals.

This paper provides an economic perspective on concepts related to adaptive co-management (ACM). The discussion is cast within a formal generalised complex system (CS) framework. The authors explicitly explore the hypothesis of whether ACM can be regarded as an emergent strategy under specific conditions. The conditions draw a corollary from the well-known work of Adam Smith that describes 'self interest' as a forcing factor (the 'invisible hand) that lead to stability and efficiency in economic systems. The specific hypothesis is meant as an exploratory tool that permits the authors: (i) to develop in greater detail a formal definition of the elements of the system within a CS framework; (ii) to provide economic perspectives on the literature relating to ACM; (iii) to derive some related empirical lessons from that literature; (iv) to demonstrate the limitations of existing economic modelling and analytical constructs for addressing ACM issues; (v) to identify potential policy linkages; and (vi) to elaborate research implications.

I again protest the latest tax assessment on my property of 53 years at 119 Gillette Road, Gillette, decreed by Ernest F. Del Guercio, Long Hill Township assessor.
My property assessment of $113,100 was more than tripled to $339,800, and under challenge reduced to $311,500, a mere deflation of $28,300. There is no question Mr. Del Guercio is in error because my house is, without a doubt, absolutely unconventional as an 80-year-old log cabin and a 50-year-old addition of cinder blocks. Furthermore, the living quarters are positioned to one side of the acre flank of the property. Anyone buying this estate will bulldoze the house and pluck a modern dwelling in the middle of this acre lot. Mr. Del Guercio, please inspect my castle.
Allow me to tell a little story. About two years ago, a pure stranger visited me in either July or August and to my utter incredulity offered $225,000 cash for my land and castle, with the option that we could occupy the house until we both disappeared. I refused, but became suspicious or questioning because I draw surveys the year long.
Unquestionably, the acquisition of an acre lot with an old unconventional dwelling is worth a great deal to entrepreneurs they simply bulldoze the old castle. This practice is now prevalent everywhere in New Jersey. This type of action may be called "free enterprise" or "market price" as a custom, but it is not suitable to the average Joe around Long Hill Township simply because taxes go up. Once high assessments on property prevail, real estate schemers have a field day, especially so-called experts certified as appraisers. Surely Mr. Del Guercio is aware of this financial miracle?
To be truthful, I must reveal another deviant adventure. On Thursday, Jan. 24, I attended the Long Hill Township Republican Club meeting of which I am a member, and to my consternation a man I had never met came to my chair, introduced himself and started to talk about my property assessment. J.E.T., his initials, knew my full name, where I came from initially and about my 119 Gillette Road ownership. He wanted to help me, and said he knew appraisers. After the meeting, we talked outside in the parking lot. Actually, I said nothing and just listened, because from the beginning of the meeting I became suspicious. Is that how the "market price" game is played in Long Hill Township? Was he an envoy sent to pacify or spy on me, Mr. Del Guercio? Other questions: Is the township using the same tactics Enron and Vice President Dick Cheney employ, refusing to allow the American electorate to publicly view their dealings. Is it possible that speculators disguised as appraisers buy old houses on lots like mine and establish a monopolized neighborhood? What is t he square foot price of an acre lot, or should I or we not know? Are these tactics the price of freedom and democracy? Or should I pay hundreds of dollars I can not afford for your friendly and devious appraisers for a review, Mr. Del Guercio?

Are You Guilty of Sloppy E-mails? It Can Cost You
Some of the nicest people we know send the most thoughtless e-mails. Many are telegraphic, with a smattering of disconnected words and abbreviations, leaving the reader to fill in the blanks. Most are dashed off without review and arrive in their native state: confusing, grammarless and brimful of spelling errors. That's not even to mention lack of logic and transitions.

The Art And Science Of The Email Signature
Email signatures are so easy to do well, that it's really a shame how often they're done poorly. Many people want their signature to reflect their personality, provide pertinent information and more, but they can easily go overboard. Why are email signatures important? They may be boring and the last item on your list of things to get right, but they affect the tone of every email you write. Email signatures contain alternative contact details, pertinent job titles and company names, which help the recipient get in touch when emails are not responded to.

Avoid the Use of Familiar Phrases and Messages in Your Emails
Sometimes copywriters and content writers write in clichés. To a reader, the line has barely any meaning, and certainly no impact. Why not? Because it is too familiar. Because he or she has read the same phrase so many times before, in too many other places.

A Beginner's Guide to Effective Email
In a conversation, there is some minimum of shared context. You might be in the same physical location, and even on the phone you have, at minimum, commonality of time. When you generate a document for paper, usually there is some context embedded in the medium: the text is in the proceedings of a conference, written on a birthday card, handed to your professor with a batch of Econ 101 term papers, or something similar. With email, you can't assume anything about a sender's location, time, frame of mind, profession, interests, or future value to you. This means, among other things, that you need to be very, very careful about giving your receivers some context. This section will give specific strategies for doing so.

Coherence in Workplace Instant Messages
In our case study, we examined the instant messaging (IM) workplace discourse of a pair of expert IM users. We found that the participants maintained discourse cohesion and thus coherence via short, rapidly sent transmissions that created uninterrupted transmission sequences. Such uninterrupted transmission sequences allowed each participant to maintain the floor. Also, the participants used topicalizations and performative verbs to maintain coherence. We also found that the participants' use of short transmissions may have ambiguated their enactment of their institutional roles and the rights afforded to them by those roles.

Convergence in the Rhetorical Pattern of Directness and Indirectness in Chinese and U.S. Business Letters
This article examines rhetorical patterns in claim letters from two universities, one in China and one in the United States, to see whether these patterns are convergent. A genre-based textual analysis of the claim letters, written by two different cultural groups of participants, found that both groups of letters display a similar rhetorical preference for directness and indirectness. The author explores how local contextual factors have contributed to these groups of participants' preference for similar rhetorical patterns and calls for the integration of contextual factors in intercultural rhetoric research, practice, and pedagogy.

Designing Email Messages for Corporate Readers: a Case Study of Effective and Ineffective Rhetorical Strategies At a Fortune 100 Company
Within the last 12 years, email has emerged as the most commonly used form of written communication in the corporate workplace. A 1997 study, conducted by Office Team, revealed that a majority of American executives favored face-to-face meetings to any other form of communication; only 34% preferred email (Oh, 2007). By contrast, a 2005 survey sponsored by the Economist Intelligence Unit indicated that two thirds of corporate executives prefer email as a means of business communication compared to the next most popular options—desktop telephones and mobile phones. These are each favored by just 16% of those participating in the study (Economist Intelligence Unit, 2005). More recently, a 2008 study performed by the Pew Internet & American Life Project revealed that 72% of all full-time employees have an email account that they use for work, and 37% of those workers "check them constantly" (Madden & Jones, 2008). Several factors have contributed to the widespread use of email. This form of communication is generally rapid, is more economical than distributing or mailing printed documents, and permits simultaneous communication with large numbers of recipients.

Every Email You Send is a Customer Service Email
If you do business online, there are times when you send your customers, prospects and subscribers an email or two. The emails you send tend to fall within one of three categories. Each of these three types of emails requires a slightly different approach. Their purposes are different, and each should be optimized to perform their respective tasks.

A Generational Approach To Using Emoticons As Nonverbal Communication
The purpose of this article is to help determine whether the use of emoticons in computer mediated communication (CMC) are truly nonverbal cues. A review of the literature revealed that the traditional nonverbal theorists failed to predict the future employment of nonverbal cues in electronic CMC. A variety of emoticons are then described including the traditional happy face 3 and sad face 3, numerous variations of faces employing keyboard keys, a number of abbreviations commonly in use, and FLAMING. Inasmuch as emoticons are presently in widespread though informal use, the problem of how and what business communication instructors should teach about emoticons is discussed. The conclusion reached is that of a generational recipient determinism. It is recommended that recipients who are Traditionalists (born before 1946) should not be sent e-mail with emoticons; those who are Baby Boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) probably should not be sent e-mail with emoticons; those who are Generation Xers (those born between 1964 and 1980) may be sent e-mail with some of the more common emoticons; and those who are termed Millenials (born after 1980 and coming of age after 2000) may be sent e-mail with generous use of emoticons.

How To Identify and Deal With Different Types Of Clients
In business, being able to read people and quickly get a sense of who you're dealing with is an invaluable skill. It turns your encounter with a client into an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the upcoming project and how it will need to be handled. It is one of the building blocks of a professional relationship. In today's digital age, the arena has shifted to the Web, and the online office space that most freelancers inhabit limits personal interaction. Though sussing out a client's personality via online communication is difficult, it still remains an invaluable tool in your arsenal.

How to Write a Business Letter That Gets Results
I can't tell you how many truly awful letters I've had to read in my life. As a former administrative assistant, I was responsible for all the unsolicited submissions to a major New York museum. Artists and collectors all over the country (and abroad) wrote to have their work considered for display or acquisition, and to be honest the decision frequently rested more on the quality of their cover letter than on their work — which, romantic dreams aside, rarely if ever sells itself.

Direct marketing in the form of direct mail is used by almost every company whether it is the local service station or shoe repair shop or a Fortune 500 company. Unlike documentation that instructs or describes a process, marketing materials must persuade as well as inform. Increasingly, technical communicators' responsibilities are being expanded to include marketing materials such as advertisements and direct mail. Writing successful direct marketing letters or advertisements can be easier by using a 10-point guide that uses the principles of attracting attention, arousing interest. creating desire and asking for action.

Incompetent Email Marketing = Lost Future Opportunities
Lack of personalization made an email newsletter completely useless to the recipient, damaging long-term customer relationship efforts.

With recent press surrounding the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and possible future charges for sending e-mail as well as virus creators competing with each other for infection rates, how can you ensure that your e-mail communications are still effective and reach their intended recipients? E-mail has qualities that make it an ideal communication vehicle. But for all of these positive characteristics, e-mail has taken a serious blow over the past six years. An anti-spam technology company estimated that 62 percent of all e-mail sent across the Internet was identified as some sort of spam by users of their technology.

Is Spam Ordinary Commercial Speech?
An informal poll within the U.S. indicates that more than half of respondents favor a law restricting "spam," that is, unwanted electronic advertising that everyone with an e-mail address has been exposed to but does not know how to stop. In the poll, 30 percent favor making false e-mail headers illegal, but only slightly more than 11 percent said spam restrictions would violate the First Amendment.

World Trade Center Barcelona: A Close Look
© All Rights Reserved
This is a close look on World Trade Center Barcelona (WTCB) at the end of Moll de Barcelona (moll means "wharf"). Built by Henry N. Coob of Pei, Coob, Freed & Partners, also known by his Hancock tower in Boston, WTCB is an eight storey complex divided in four buildings. Three of them, WTC North, WTC South and WTC East hold offices and the fourth is the Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel. Grand Marina with its 273 rooms is a 5 star GL hotel. Here is a map with an impressive view and helpful information. I got this picture from the deck of a sightseeing boat. If you use the cable car or teleferic which happens to have one of his towers (Torre de Jaume I, the intermediate station which is 158m/519ft) in front of the hotel you will have a privileged aerial view of WTCB and the cruiser terminals on the same wharf. Zurbaran is one of the ships that belong to Acciona Trasmediterranea, a company sailing to the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla. See Zurbaran coming out of Maon port in Menorca. There are international cruises in Barcelona port too departing from Adossat Wharf nearby but that is part of another story.
Now, commercials: Remember that now you can book anything you can think of from Barcelona Photoblog as for example cruises. Not that I am in the travel business myself. I think this is a new way of financing my photography while helping visitors find the best choice for travelling in Barcelona. There are more travel options at the bottom of each post (perhaps booking a room at Grand Marina Hotel!). Please tell me if you find this annoying in any way.

I know what you're thinking, because I thought the same thing when I read the news on the wire.
Opensource.com? Really?
Right away, it struck me that the need for yet another open source community site has to be nil. This niche on the Internet is quite saturated, with opensource.org, Linux.com, Howtoforge, LinuxQuestions.org easily filling the bill for community resources--among many other sites.
I'll be honest, my initial thought was that this is another attempt by Red Hat to control the message--this time about open source.
So, I'll be equally candid and admit that I was way off the mark.
As it turns out, the new opensource.com site is not trying to control the existing message about open source, but rather a way for Red Hat to get the conversation going about how open source methodologies can be used beyond software. That was the take away as I spent some time today talking to DeLisa Alexander, senior vice president, People and Brand at Red Hat.
Alexander is more than a little enthusiastic about this project, calling it "one of the most exciting things she's worked on" in her eight years at Red Hat. And there's some room for pride here. Built on the (open source, of course) Drupal content management system, the new site features a wealth of content on open source usage and approaches in channels including Government, Law, Education, and Business. My personal favorite is the Life channel, because the science geek in me can truly appreciate discussions about open source genetic engineering.
While the content of opensource.com is certainly diverse, and this is one of the better-looking Drupal sites I've seen in a while (not withstanding the one you're reading now), I had to ask Alexander how the site was going to be managed going forward. Because, as rich as this content is, it's still leans towards one-way: articles are offered up, and readers are allowed to comment. This is two-way communication, but it's the site organizers that currently initiate the message.
Alexander explained that there have been readers who have mentioned this already, and if the community at-large decides more participiatory communication (like forums) is needed, then the site moderators will address this need with solutions. Also, she emphasized, the site is open for contributed content, so it doesn't have to be just the moderators delivering the first part of the dialogue.
As she highlighted the community participation aspect of the new site, I asked Alexander if opensource.com would ever loop back to coverage of open source technology--the arena open source was born. Given its origins, it's conceivable an ongoing community meme would want to include discussions on software and hardware.
Alexander acknowledged that this was something she and her team had considered, and if the community steered the conversation in that direction, they would certainly help guide the site towards technology. She added that it was important that opensource.com remain cognizant of existing open source technlogy sites, and be very respectful of the work they are already doing in the community.
Looking around this new site, I think at the very least it will highlight new positive aspects of open source, and I'm glad--in this case--to be wrong about my initial impressions.

By Jefferson Graham, USA TODAY
Apple stock (AAPL) jumped almost 6% Wednesday after the company on reported after the markets closed on Tuesday that the quarter just ended was its best non-holiday quarter ever.
Apple's latest product, the iPad, is a hit, but it doesn't hold a candle to the company's 3-year-old iPhone.
Sales for Apple's iconic smartphone were "staggering" in the just-completed quarter, Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook said Tuesday. In Asia, sales rose 474%, 183% in Japan and 133% in Europe. "It's widespread," Cook said.
LOST PROTOTYPE: Next-gen Apple iPhone returned
Overall, some 8.75 million iPhones sold in the quarter, Apple's second fiscal quarter for 2010.
"The iPhone is catching fire internationally," says Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster. "As one person gets it, they get two other people to buy it. It's a domino effect."
A major upgrade to the iPhone operating system is coming in the summer.
The quarter, which ended March 27, doesn't include the new iPad, the touchpad computer that went on sale April 3.
However, Apple said it was its best non-holiday quarter ever, with revenue of $13.5 billion, up from $9.1 billion the year before, and profit of $3.1 billion, up from $1.6 billion.
Apple far surpassed estimates from analysts and Apple itself, which had forecast revenue of $11 billion to $11.4 billion.
That so many consumers were willing to pony up a "30% premium" for Apple products in a recession shows that "people are spending more of their lives on mobile and computers, and because Apple has higher quality, they are willing to spend the money," Munster says.
Apple sold 2.9 million Macintosh computers, up 33% from the year-ago quarter, and 10.9 million iPods, down from 11 million in the previous quarter.
Apple has said it's sold 500,000 iPads to date.
"We're thrilled with the sales of the iPad; they've far exceeded our expectations," Cook said.
The second version of the iPad, with 3G cellular access for the Internet in addition to Wi-Fi, goes on sale at the end of the month, and both units become available overseas in May.
The international launch was delayed because of the heavy U.S. demand.
Despite many product introductions that sold out quickly and were hard to get — think the iPhone and iPod Nano — Cook says Apple was "shocked" at the U.S. demand for the iPad.
In a conference call with analysts, Apple mentioned new product introductions and transitions for later this year, but wouldn't elaborate.
Cook did explain how Apple keeps customers interested. "Product innovation, with new software, new distribution points, geographic expansion and great marketing."
Apple shares rose $14.63 to close Wednesday at $259.22.

Hoyer: House Republicans' Partisan Border Supplemental Bill is a Political Message, Does Not Meet America's Challenge
"I thank the Gentleman for yielding. In today's paper there's an op-ed , it's written by Mr. McCarthy, the new Majority Leader. In that op-ed he said, quote: 'I have always believed that you must win the argument before you can win the vote. In Congress, committees act as idea factories for policies from both sides, and as Majority Leader I will commit to the committee process and regular order.' Apparently he didn't start yesterday doing that, and we don't start today doing that.
"This legislation has not been considered by Committee, Subcommittee – or any of us have not seen it at this point in time. I heard the Gentleman from Oklahoma say, the legislation is going to do this, that, and the other. We haven't seen it. It is 10:15 [a.m.]. We haven't seen it. No regular order. No exercising of responsibility. We saw irresponsibility rampant yesterday in the House of Representatives. We saw a few months ago shutting down government if you don't 'do it my way.'
"I will tell the American people, Mr. Speaker, none of the leaders of the Republican Party have reached across to say, 'how can we do this in a bipartisan way?' And so, because of their unwillingness to do that, Mr. Speaker, the Senate is gone. What we do today will be useless. A show – a form without substance. A pretense. A political message to their base of how hard they can be, because they're moving in exactly the opposite direction of trying to create bipartisanship. And so I urge my colleagues, stand up for doing the right thing and giving the resources necessary to meet the challenge that America has and America ought to be meeting today and yesterday and the day before, and I yield back the balance of my time."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced their ticket prices for the upcoming 2008 National Football League campaign.
General ticket prices for the 2008 season at Raymond James Stadium will be $99, $89, $85, $75, $65, $55, $50, and $42. The $42 general seat ticket remains one of the lowest-priced tickets in the NFL. Club seat pricing will be adjusted to reflect the terms of those agreements.
In addition, new terms for Raymond James Stadiums original general season ticket holders whose 10-year agreements ended after the 2007 season have been set. New terms for any general season ticket holder whose contract expired following the 2007 season are as follows:
New Terms:
1. No additional seat deposit will be required.
2. Season Ticket holders will continue to receive an annual 5 percent refund of their original deposit.
3. Any season ticket holder whose 10-year contract expired after the 2007 season will only be required to sign a new three-year agreement.
"We feel that Buccaneers tickets offer our fans a great experience for good value," said Jason Layton, Director of Ticketing and Sales. "Our most expensive general seat is less expensive than 15 other teams in the NFL."
Since 1998, the Buccaneers have posted an impressive regular season home mark of 52-28 (.650); and 2-2 in four home playoff contests at Raymond James Stadium. All 84 games (80 regular season and four postseason) played at Raymond James Stadium have been sellouts. The 2007 season marked the 10th consecutive year when every regular season game at Raymond James Stadium sold out prior to the start of the season.
The 2008 home schedule includes games against Green Bay, Minnesota, Oakland, San Diego and Seattle, as well as NFC South rivals Atlanta, Carolina and New Orleans. Tampa Bay will also host two preseason games next season. Opponents and dates for those games will be announced in April when the NFL releases the entire 2008 schedule.

Nothing but positive experiences!
This doctor is excellent. No matter what your having done he is honest about expectations and outcomes. He also values a natural look which I also prefer. His staff is the best. Nurse Tami is timely with questions and Sylvia explains all the payment options. As far as his demeanor, he is professional with great bedside manner. If you get to know him you'll realize he has a great sense of humor aka monkey socks. That's about it. Also, shout out to Des who runs the front desk, Jen the nurse practitioner, Paulette who does facials, the lovely Charlie and all the other amazing staff. They all are beautiful inside and out, and understand how to make clients comphy. The biggest reason I personally recommend this place is because they help people become more comfortable in their skin by achieving natural looks in a friendly enviroment. Final note, they also make sure your satisfied and will go the extra mile for you. Ps: Have Jen give you the Thermi :-)
