Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled... Firefighting Gear?
Firehouse Subs has a unique plan to save the environment and your house
By Kenny Pailes,
10:35AM, Fri. Feb. 1, 2013
The next time you're visiting one of the greater Austin area's eight Firehouse Subs shops, do our local firefighters a solid and order pickles. Then order some more. Every week, each restaurant goes through about six 5-gallon buckets of kosher dills. When those pails are empty, the eateries turn their waste into welfare with a simple but effective plan.Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, which funds grants to fire departments around the nation.
This week, the Foundation presented the Cedar Park Fire Department (CPFD) with a grant of $20,000 worth of wildland firefighting gear. The grant was matched by the City of Cedar Park, allowing the fire department to purchase 60 sets of the specialized clothing.
According to CPFD Chief James Mallinger, the impetus for the department's request for the grant was 2011's Bastrop County Complex Fire. Like most other area agencies, CPFD sent personnel and equipment to help fight that wildfire, the most destructive of its kind in Texas history. Working in the already brutal Labor Day heat, Cedar Park firefighters faced an extra challenge from the very equipment designed to protect them. At that time, CPFD's wildfire gear was worn in two layers, with special wildland-specific shirts and pants on top of normal station uniforms. While this double dose of shielding protected crews from being singed by flames, it also prevented their bodies from shedding heat, thus subjecting them to a significant risk of heat exhaustion.
The department's new yellow shirts and green pants, however, are designed to be worn as a stand alone set of garments. This lighter ensemble will provide the same or better flame protection that the old gear did, but with less weight and fewer layers. CPFD firefighters will now be able to work for longer periods over greater expanses of terrain with less risk of suffering from a heat stress injury.
McCafferty and Firehouse Subs Area Representative Bill Krassner pointed out that this is actually the second grant from the sandwich shop's Foundation to the Cedar Park Fire Department. In 2006, another pickle bucket-funded grant provided firefighters with a handheld thermal imaging camera (used during emergencies to find hidden fires and victims that are not visible to the naked eye) and a public education trailer (a primary tool in efforts to teach area school children how to prevent and react to emergencies).
All told, public safety agencies in Austin, Cedar Park, and Georgetown have received over $85,000 in similar grants from the Foundation. Krassner beamed, "It's all part of our commitment to our community, and we're proud to do it."

Microfinance is the heart of BRAC's integrated approach to alleviating poverty and helping poor Ugandan women realise their potential. They gather weekly in villages, towns and city neighbourhoods to make repayments on their loans and apply for new ones.
BRAC lends to women who are not served by other microfinance institutions. Borrowers typically operate businesses that provide products or services to their local communities. Women with seasonal businesses, such as farming related activities, may also be eligible for shorter term loans. We use the microfinance groups as a social platform to deliver scaled up services in health, education, business development and livelihood support, all critical components needed to ensure that poor people are given the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty.
BRAC offers small enterprise loans to entrepreneurs seeking to expand small businesses. Our small enterprise programme (SEP) is supported by the main microfinance platform, which is managed through a hub and spoke model. The loans enable owners to create new employment opportunities and provide new services. Typically loans are given for trading, agriculture, poultry and livestock, fruit production and other types of small enterprises. The small enterprise loan is offered to an individual rather than to a group and is available for both male and female entrepreneurs. Some members of the microloan groups will become eligible for this scheme as their businesses expand and require more investment.

India's new spectrum policy may include 3G
Post a comment
BANGALORE, India The Indian government will soon come out with a new, technology-neutral spectrum policy, said Dayanidhi Maran, the country's minister for communications and information technology, at the GSM World Congress in Cannes Wednesday (Feb. 16).
The policy will be in sync with international practices and established policy, said Maran, in an apparent reaction to the concerns of global telecom operators.
"We in India do not commit ourselves to any single technology," Maran said. "Our policy is technology neutral. But it does not mean that we embrace inefficient or discarded technologies."
Maran continued, "We are also committed to ensure that paucity of spectrum does not throttle the growth of the telecom industry. We therefore foresee participative growth of all players as well as technologies. A telecom team is already looking into issues relating to spectrum."
According to Maran, India is looking to introduce 3G services and is watching the development of 3G networks in other countries. India is not close to having 3G services as it has not drawn up a policy on auctioning licenses.
The Indian scenario now features efforts by both the GSM and the CDMA technology lobbies to push their respective causes with regard to spectrum. Given the discordant policies of the past in respect of telecom technologies, both camps have ample reason for worry and the minister's announcement should at least temporarily soothe their fears.
In a meeting with the European Union (EU) team slated for May, Maran said India and the EU will work to jointly address telecom issues pertaining to security, interoperability, content and roaming.

- Brand: EKWB
- Model: Supremacy Clean CSQ – Nickel
- Website: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/blocks/cpu-blocks/ek-supremacy-clean-csq-nickel.html
- RRP: £56.99 (At time of the review)
With the latest un-locked processors on the market (Namely Haswell), comes wave upon waves of overclockers/enthusiasts looking to get the most out of their newly acquired hardware. One question springs to mind when you hear the word over clocking and that's cooling, how do you cool an overclocked processor efficiently, quietly and keep it at budget? Well one solution is water cooling, and one of the biggest brands on the market have a new CPU Block designed to tick all 3 boxes whilst remaining stylish and sleek.
The EK Supremacy CSQ Clear, which is the successor to the EK-Supreme HF water block, is a tool-less high quality water block which caters for all the major mounts; this block is universal. The main differences between this block and the older Supreme are the improved design which results in up to 20% better flow rate and up to 2c lower CPU temperatures. Will this make much of a difference with the latest Haswell processors and will 2c be enough for the disconcerting overclocker?
Let's find out, starting with the specifications…
CPU socket compatibility:
– Intel LGA-775
– Intel LGA-1155/1156
– Intel LGA-1366
– Intel LGA 2011
– AMD Sockets: 939, 754, 940
– AMD Sockets: AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+

I love the breakdown and analysis, pikachu. Thank you for all your work!
I love the breakdown and analysis, pikachu. Thank you for all your work!
Pikachu, I've always known that's how you do it and that's perfectly fine. Just saying I would have made a few other choices if I'd seen the new pairs this week. You do just a great job with your pools that I'd never dream of complaining.
I think it'll be a good idea to set aside gender since we never know if we'll have a better group of boys or girls, especially if they don't go back to a male and a female winner.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
For a few seasons, they were doing one girl and one boy winner but if they're going back to having only one winner, there's no need to force pool teams to have both girls and guys. Personally, I prefer having one guy and one girl winner because it sucks to be the last girl standing and still lose the competition because a boy won, or vice versa.

Thanks, pikachu! I love how I start out strong...and then head to the basement ;-)
And I'm just amazed at the amount of work you put into this. Thank you for that :-)
Thanks pikachu.
I'm going to add this to your title...Best Ever Gracious Pool Runner.
I picked my dancers based solely on who I liked when they danced in their own style. I figured if I didn't like them in their own style then I certainly wouldn't like them in something else. I paid no attention to who was picking who, or back stories or anything else. I simply listed who I liked and kept them in order girl in one and boys in another. If we don't have to keep even sides (next year) I would have picked far more boys this year. They were much more difficult to decide.
I have changed my dancers so many times lol but thats a sign of a great season. At least im not dead last in the pool, keeping my fingers crossed Ill rise to the top somehow

Buffalo (4-10) at Cincinnati (11-3)
The line: Bengals by 3 1/2
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. Football life is good again in Cinci. The Bungles of brutal seasons past have morphed into the playoff-bound Bengals, a first since 1990. Actually, this campaign's heroics will snap an even more dreadful run: 14 straight losing seasons. Bengals' merchandise has been flying off the shelves like a Carson Palmer pass since they clinched the AFC North division title by pounding the toothless Lions 41-17 Sunday. According to a Miami-based market research outfit, sales of Cinci tiger stripes have nearly quadrupled compared to the same period a year ago. As many feared they would, the Bills are living to regret the ditching of Drew Bledsoe -- now a Dallas Cowboy -- in favour of so-so quarterback prospect J. P. Losman. Even though the Bengals have every reason to go easy this week, they wouldn't dare lose at home to a team like the Bills. Would they?
Cody's call: Bengals 27-23
Detroit (4-10) vs. New Orleans (3-11)
The line: Saints by 3
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. at San Antonio, Texas. Joey Harrington is getting another chance with the Detroit Lions. The third overall pick (Oregon) in the 2002 entry draft, Harrington was thought to be the answer to the Lions' struggles at quarterback. Harrington has shown he can make all the passes -- those requiring touch as well as the long ones -- but he's also proved he can't make them consistently. That's a significant drawback, big enough to cost him his starter's job when Jeff Garcia recovered from leg and ankle injuries in late October. In 10 games this season, Harrington is averaging around 160 passing yards a game with nine touchdown passes and 11 interceptions. In 53 career starts for Detroit, Harrington has launched 57 TD tosses and misfired 61 interceptions. Ugly numbers. The Lions need a thorough shakeup.
Cody's call: Lions 17-14
Tennessee (4-10) at Miami (7-7)
The line: Dolphins by 5 1/2
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. The Dolphins have won four straight, tying them with the Bengals for the longest current winning run in the AFC. Five of the young Titans' losses have been by eight points or less. Tennessee's Kyle Vanden Bosch and Miami's Jason Taylor are defensive ends on a mission. Vanden Bosch is tied for second in the NFL with 12 1/2 sacks. With three sacks in last Sunday's 28-24 grounding of the Jets, Taylor has 11 on the season. Dolphins wideout Chris Chambers is just eight receiving yards shy of 1,000 this season.
Cody's call: Dolphins 20-13
New York Giants (10-4) at Washington (8-6)
The line: Redskins by 3
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. The Giants are a win away from locking up the NFC East for the first time since 2000. If the Redskins are to have a chance of winning, they'll have to shut down Giants' red-hot running back Tiki Barber. Working behind a patchwork line against Kansas City last Sunday, Barber rambled for a Giants-record 220 yards on 29 carries and scored two TDs. Earlier this season vs. the Redskins -- a 36-0 Giants' win on Oct. 30 -- Barber ran for 206 yards, his career best till Sunday. Still, Washington's seventh-ranked D (12th vs. the run), has allowed just three touchdowns in its last three games and surrenders just 15.9 first downs per game, third in the loop.
Cody's call: Giants 23-21
Dallas (8-6) at Carolina (10-4)
The line: Cowboys by 5 1/2
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. Don't blame the Panthers for relishing this matchup. With lots undetermined in the NFC South, Carolina's No.3-ranked defence -- fourth against the run, 11th vs. the pass -- will tackle Dallas's struggling offence. The Cowboys have lost three of their last four, never leading in the losses. Defences have found a way to exploit Dallas's offensive line, sacking Drew Bledsoe 15 times in the last three games. The Panthers have held nine straight opponents to less than 300 yards and are allowing just 16 points a game.
Cody's call: Panthers 24-17
Jacksonville (10-4) at Houston (2-12)
The line: Jaguars by 6
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. Jacksonville, winners of six of its last seven, needs one more victory to make the playoffs for the first time since 1999. Jags wide receiver Jimmy Smith needs 94 receiving yards for 1,000 on the season. However, Houston's disastrous D has a history of minimizing Smith. In six career meetings, the Texans have allowed him to surpass 100 receiving yards just once. Houston QB David Carr has been sacked an NFL-high 68 times this season. Ouch!
Cody's call: Jaguars 28-10
San Francisco (2-12) at St. Louis (5-9)
The line: Rams by 9 1/2
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. It's way too early to call San Fran rookie QB Alex Smith a bust -- especially considering the team he's on. Clearly, though, the first player taken in this year's entry draft is struggling. In five starts, Smith has failed to throw a single TD pass while tossing five interceptions. He's completed just 46.7 per cent of his passes for a mere 585 yards. He may catch a break Sunday, going up against the Rams' 30th-ranked defence. Even worse, the 49ers are ranked 32nd (uh, last).
Cody's call: Rams 27-17
San Diego (9-5) at Kansas City (8-6)
The line: Chiefs by 1
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. The Chiefs have won 17 consecutive home games in December dating back to 1997, Associated Press football writer Paul Montella points out. That's bad news for the Chargers, who need to win their last two (plus get help) if they're to make the playoffs. San Diego toppled the Chiefs at home Oct. 30, an eight-point game dominated by Antonio Gates, who snagged 10 passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns. K.C. is next-to-last in pass D, giving up an average of 243 yards a game. Chiefs' bruising running back Larry Johnson goes at a defence that hasn't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 16 games and is ranked No. 1.
Cody's call: Chiefs 27-24
Atlanta (8-6) at Tampa Bay (9-5)
The line: Bucs by 3
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. The Bucs can catch a playoff berth, but the scenario is extremely convoluted and not that interesting. The Falcons, Tampa's Bay's NFC South rival, need a victory just to stay in the mix. Only one of Atlanta's eight victories has come against a team with a winning record (Minnesota). The Bucs are No. 2 in overall defence -- fifth against the run, eighth against the pass -- and they'll need it to slow Atlanta's top-ranked running game. Tampa allows just 92.1 rushing yards a game -- 3.4 yards a carry.
Cody's call: Bucs 21-14
Pittsburgh (9-5) at Cleveland (5-9)
The line: Steelers by 7
The skinny: Tomorrow, 1 p.m. The Steelers have won in Cleveland each of the last four seasons. By beating the Browns this week and Detroit on New Year's Day, the Steelers will finish 11-5. Only one team with an 11-5 record -- the Denver Broncos in 1985 -- has missed the playoffs since the NFL went to a 16-game season in 1978. There's a mathematical chance on it happening this year -- but, please, don't ask me to explain how. The Browns will have rookie Charlie Frye at quarterback again. In getting his first win as an NFL starter last week -- 9-7 over Oakland -- Frye threw for 198 yards.
Cody's call: Steelers 27-7
Philadelphia (6-8) at Arizona (4-10)
The line: Cardinals by 1
The skinny: Tomorrow, 4:05 p.m. Both teams have been in a season-long funk when it comes to running the ball. The Cardinals are full value for their bottom-of-the-pile run ranking -- No. 32. As a team, Arizona still needs 66 rushing yards to hit 1,000 on the season. The Cards have yet to run for 100 yards in a game this season, and are averaging a league-low 3.1 yards a carry. They have but one rushing TD all season. The Eagles are not built for the ground either. Their 26th-ranked running attack is averaging just 92.4 yards a game. Josh McCown is starting at QB for the Cards in place of the injured Kurt Warner (knee).
Cody's call: Eagles 21-17
Indianapolis (13-1) at Seattle (12-2)
The line: Off
The skinny: Tomorrow, 4:15 p.m. The death early yesterday of James Dungy, the 18-year-old son of Colts head coach Tony Dungy, renders this game meaningless and inconsequential. Dungy has left the Colts in Seattle to be with his family in Florida, and team president Bill Polian says assistant head coach Jim Caldwell will guide the club against the Seahawks. Going undefeated is no longer a concern for the Colts, their 26-17 loss to the Chargers Sunday ruining that. Still, the AFC South champion Colts have clinched home-field advantage through the playoffs. The Seahawks are flying high, too, having clinched the NFC West division and a first-round playoff bye. So the game that a week ago seemed monumental might be little more than a glorified scrimmage. All said and done, perhaps the Colts will dig deep for Dungy.
Cody's call: Colts 27-25
Oakland (4-10) at Denver (11-3)
The line: Broncos by 13
The skinny: Tomorrow, 4:15 p.m. Best case, this is a tough assignment for the Raiders. Now, with LaMont Jordan doubtful -- his chances of playing are about 25 per cent -- with a toe injury, taming the Broncos will be a nearly impossible task for Oakland. Jordan is the Raiders' rushing leader with 1,025 yards and nine touchdowns, and also tops the team with 70 catches for 563 yards and two TDs. If Jordan plays, how effective will he be? Denver's run D, No. 2 in the league, allows just 84.6 yards a game.
Cody's call: Broncos 38-14
Chicago (10-4) at Green Bay (3-11)
The line: Off
The skinny: Sunday, 5 p.m. The Minnesota Vikings hate both the Bears and Packers with equal ferocity but, at this point in time, they need Green Bay to pull an upset. Chicago can clinch the NFC North with a win or a tie. Should the Pack actually pull off said upset (Ha!), the Bears will still claim the crown if the Vikes lose to or tie the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night. Meanwhile, Brett Favre will make his 240th consecutive start at quarterback for the Packers, despite a miserable performance in No. 239, a 48-3 blasting by the light-scoring Ravens. With the injury bug biting the Packers, Favre has been robbed of his weapons. And he's made it worse by making poor decisions and tossing easy interceptions. He's already tied a career high of 24 interceptions, matching the two dozen he tossed in 1993.
Cody's call: Bears 28-20
Minnesota (8-6) at Baltimore (5-9)
The line: Vikings by 1
The skinny: Sunday, 8:30 p.m. The Vikings could face Chicago for the NFC North title if, and it's a big one, they beat Baltimore and the Packers pull a huge upset on the Bears earlier in the day. The Ravens' defence is crawling its way back toward the top of the NFL. They're currently ranked sixth overall. In last week's 18-3 loss to the Steelers, the Vikings finished with just 185 total yards -- 25 in the second half -- and collected only three points on four trips into the red zone.
Cody's call: Vikings 24-21
New England (9-5) at New York Jets (3-11)
The line: Off
The skinny: Monday, 9 p.m. The Patriots have won the last five meetings against the Jets, and eight of the last nine, but the New Yorkers have taken the last four between the teams on Monday night. Sounds crazy but it's true. New England has won 17 of its last 18 games after Dec. 1 and 14 of its last 15 divisional games. And after their rocky 4-4 start to the season, the Brady Bunch has won five of its last six to secure the AFC East title. Brady has thrown for a career-high 3,888 yards.
Cody's call: Patriots 28-20
Season record
Straight up
Last week: 12-4; overall: 156-68
Last week: 10-4; overall: 112-87

Forensic expert Roger Dixon testified at the murder trial of Oscar Pistorius at the High Court in Pretoria describing the horrific wound Reeva Steenkamp received to her arm would have acted "like an instant amputation".
Mr Dixon suggested that the bullet wound to the head happened as Ms Steenkamp was hitting the magazine rack. He said the first bullet hit her hip the second bullet hit her arm as she got up with her hand towards the door.
Mr Pistorius could be seen clasping his hands over ears as Ms Steenkamp injuries were detailed. He insists he killed Reeva Steenkamp accidentally after mistaking her for an intruder hiding behind a closed lavatory door.
On Tuesday he told the court he had pulled the trigger without thinking, out of terror and fear that his and Steenkamp's lives were in danger.
State prosecutor Gerrie Nel ended his five-day cross-examination of the double amputee athlete on Tuesday with a stark summary of how he shot his girlfriend, insisting he killed her deliberately after an argument.
Mr Pistorius faces life in prison if convicted of murdering the 29-year-old law graduate and model.

I have a new Nokia Nuron phone. I've actually been told that it has faster internet connection than most other smartphones. However, BinkyBunny just doesn't load well. It takes a few minutes just to load the homepage, and trying to go to the forums usually crashes my phone. It's a shame, since it means that I can't ask rabbit questions or browse the forum while I'm out or if my computer isn't working.
Does this happen to anyone else? Is there any I can do that could make it so that it's easier to load BB pages?
It could just be the site in general. I'm having some troubles at the moment.
I did see recently under Forum Setttings that the box "use Ajax" was checked. I think this might be the default setting. I guess you could uncheck it and see whether that makes a difference? I'm not tech savvy at all, it was just something I noticed. There might be certain applications that aren't compatible with your phones settings.

Thousands of Haitians Flee Port-au-Prince
Hoping to find help among friends or family members, or just hoping to get out of their country's devastated capital, thousands of Haitians fled Port-au-Prince on Monday by the busload and headed for the countryside. Meanwhile, the top-ranking American commander in Haiti called an estimated death toll of 150,000 to 200,000 a "start point," according to The New York Times. –KA
New York Times:
Some Haitians told news agencies they were seeking the help of friends or family members; others said they were leaving blindly, in hopes that any change would be an improvement on the shattered chaos of Port-au-Prince.
But for every person who found an option for shelter or food outside the capital, it seemed like another still did not.
"I would like for my family to escape the misery in this city, but I need painkillers for my child first," said Manuel Lamy, 28, a plumber whose 5-year-old daughter, Yvenca, lost her left hand. Mr. Lamy and his wife, Sagine Oscar, 30, took her to a triage center set up by Cuban doctors.
The displaced were streaming out of Port-au-Prince even as more relief, aid workers and American troops were arriving. Some hospitals along the border with the Dominican Republic were swamped with earthquake victims.
The United Nations World Food Program said it planned to distribute 200 tons of food aid on Monday to 95,000 people at eight locations and appealed anew for public donations to the relief effort. The calls for more help came even as aid workers, mobile clinics and other supplies continued to arrive at the airport and overland from the Dominican Republic.

Miscellany from the Material World of Books
"The experience of a work of art is, as everyone seems willing to grant without pondering the implications, unique and untranslatable; to suggest that one has captured it in an analysis is, therefore, to falsify and mislead.

AUSTIN — Some endorsements or alliances can severely hurt a political campaign, and U.S. Sen. John McCain realized this in 2008.
McCain, the eventual Republican presidential nominee that year, did something unusual: After seeking the backing of the Rev. John C. Hagee — a San Antonio televangelist with a long history of incendiary remarks — he rejected the endorsement.
"Obviously, I find these remarks and others deeply offensive and indefensible," McCain said in reference to an anti-Semitic sermon that had surfaced. "I did not know of them before Reverend Hagee's endorsement, and I feel I must reject his endorsement as well."
Some Texans, mainly Democrats, asked State Attorney General Greg Abbott — the perceived Republican frontrunner in this year's gubernatorial race — to do something similar this week: to cancel two campaign appearances with rocker Ted Nugent, an outspoken gun rights advocate with a long history of inflammatory comments, mainly about President Barack Obama, women and undocumented immigrants.
Nugent has called Obama "a subhuman mongrel;" referred to former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a "worthless (expletive deleted);" and told Fox News when it comes to unauthorized immigrants, "I'd like to shoot them dead."
Abbott ignored Nugent's critics and campaigned with him in Denton and in Wichita Falls. Moreover, when asked if he had not heard about the rocker's bigoted comments Abbott said "I can't read everything," the Associated Press reported.
The conventional wisdom in Austin — and this includes some Republicans, too — is that Abbott should not have invited Nugent because he is a polarizing figure likely to do more harm than good to his campaign.
"Greg Abbott is putting this election and the future of the Republican Party at risk when our general election opponent is a woman," Lisa Fritsch, who is also running in the GOP primary for governor, said in reference to state Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth, the presumed Democratic frontrunner.
Since the general election is more than eight months away, it remains to be seen whether Abbott's embracing of Nugent will hurt his campaign.
However, Davis and other Democrats are making the most of this and other perceived missteps or negative issues Abbott is identified with.
Two weeks ago they also blasted him for comparing some cases of corruption in predominantly Hispanic South Texas with "Third-World country practices." And in November, Abbott took some heat after news reports that the leader of the Young Conservatives of Texas at the University of Texas — which organized a highly controversial "catch an illegal immigrant" contest — had worked for his campaign.
Though candidates in other statewide races have also had big missteps — mainly Republicans because they dominate the state government — so far most of the attention is on the gubernatorial race.
And no one has stumbled more than Davis and these are some issues she has been sharply criticized for:
■ For reportedly embellishing her life story, which is that of a single teenage mother raising her baby daughter in a trailer and making the most of what life gave her, ending up graduating from Harvard Law School.
■ For saying she is pro-life when it was her 11-hour filibuster of a restrictive abortion bill that made her an overnight political celebrity.
■ For saying she supports open-carry, a measure that would allow Texans to display their weapons in full view, putting her at odds with most Democrats.
■ For trying to nail down Abbott for campaign donations he received from the so-called payday lending industry, only to say oops shortly after. The revised amount was significantly lower than what her campaign initially estimated.
Those missteps, plus the criticism her staff has received for its mishandling of media coverage, have some folks wondering if Davis is ready for prime time.
Fair enough. However, there is time for the Davis and Abbott campaigns to work on what neutral observers see as shortcomings.
But if those and other controversial issues still dominate the fall campaign, then we'll know who is — or isn't — ready for prime time.

THE first public electric car charging points will be installed in Southampton today, the Daily Echo can reveal.
Four hi-tech charging bays will be switched on at the NCP car park in Portland Terrace on Tuesday.
A dozen more will follow at WestQuay shopping centre, Southampton Airport, and Waitrose in Portswood.
Private firm Chargemaster intends to expand its Polar electric vehicle charging network to 40 bays in the city by the end of next year.
The charge points, costing 95p a go with a £20 monthly subscription, will juice up electric cars for up to 100 miles of driving compared with around £16 for 100 miles in an equivalent petrol or diesel car.
However as it would take between three to seven hours to charge a flat battery, the points will largely be used as top-up points while shopping.
There are already more than 80 charging bays within an hour's driving time of Southampton, with new bays planned for Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Eastleigh and other south coast cities.
Unlike Portsmouth and Brighton, Southampton has no public recharge points, but this scheme – and others in the pipeline – could soon make it the electric car capital of the south coast.
Southampton City Council plans to install an additional ten public charge points around the city over the next five years under its £29m street lights contract with Scottish and Southern Energy.
David Martell, chief executive of Chargemaster, said: "It is great that towns like Southampton are keen to promote technologies that allow drivers to take advantage of low carbon motoring.
"With the Polar network spanning towns across the South coast, it is easier for electric cars to be used every day – for work, domestic and leisure trips."
The Polar initiative is supported by Nissan, who have already chosen Southampton as one of the key towns in the UK to launch its Leaf electric car. The Government subsidised tax-free cars went on sale in Southampton in March for £25,990.
Phil Potts, at West Way Nissan in Redbridge, welcomed the public charging network.
He said: "It makes electric motoring far more viable, enabling drivers to use their car on longer journeys with a certainty that there is somewhere to recharge the battery."
It is estimated that as few as one in a thousand cars in the Southampton region are currently electric.
Councillor Daniel Fitzhenry, Cabinet member for environment and transport, said: "Sustainable and electric vehicles are the future and we must encourage them and make sure we have the infrastructure to sustain them.
"We will continue to support business initiatives like this to create even more in the city.
Southampton is already a leader in many sustainable fields, such as our geothermal heating network, and there is no reason why we should not be a leader in green travel as well."
Southampton mayor Councillor Terry Matthews was switching on the charging bays today.

Hawley Anderson starts with a decent idea. She takes elements of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and twists them into a modern fated romance set in Middle America about a liberal Muslim boy of Indian descent and a conservative white girl from a military family. But the concept is buried beneath a mountain of clichéd dialogue, as well as sloppy, confusing direction, less-than-average acting, and a set that serves the story poorly.
Anderson's Jules (Juliana Moreno) is a high school student in Kansas City, Mo. Her dad (Robin Stuart) died while serving in the Gulf War, and her brother Sam (Jonathan Weber) signs up after high school graduation to serve in the Iraq War. Jules falls for Rahim, a Muslim, who is protesting the war. Jules' other brother, Ty (Christopher Goss), hates Rahim (Ajay Kasar), and Ty's girlfriend, Rosie (Jessica Plotin), warns Jules to end things before something bad happens.
The main problem is that Anderson attempts to fuse the writing of the Bard and David Mamet, and the result is dialogue dominated by clunky poetry and cursing. Almost every few seconds someone utters at least one swear word, way beyond the point of distraction. Most of the few nonswear lines are unintentionally funny. A typical example is, "You're playing with matches, Jules, and everyone is going to get burned." Characters fly into rages without enough motivation. Also, Anderson woefully underestimates the intelligence of teens, and they wind up sounding particularly—and needlessly—idiotic.
Because of the weak writing and Davin Palmer's heavy-handed direction, it's challenging to recognize the talent level of the performers. Only Moreno occasionally moves beyond the insipid lines to offer glimpses of humanity and honest emotion. The remaining actors spend most of the time shouting and stamping their feet. Except for Palmer's strong fight choreography, he seems lost. At one point, when a soldier arrives with a flag to tell the family that Sam has died, Jules and Ty enter, see the solider, and laugh innocently, despite that as military children they would know exactly why he was there.
Almost none of the pieces to Jules fit as they should. Perhaps Anderson and company can take her idea and start again at the beginning.
Presented by Clubred Productions at and in association with the Promenade Playhouse, 1404 Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica. Sat. 8 p.m., Sun. 7 p.m. (Sun. 2 p.m. Feb. 25 only.) Jan. 27-Mar. 4. (323) 960-7782. www.promenadeplayhouse.com.

The inability to leave the past behind while trying to carve out a new future is the recipe for drama in Director Asghar Farhadi's The Past.
In this French/Iranian co-production, an Iranian man (Ali Mosaffa) returns to Paris to sign the divorce papers from his French wife (Bérénice Bejo) who is planning to marry a new man (Tahar Rahim). Things get even more complicated when his daughter accuses her mother of a heinous act in order to sustain her new relationship.
The Past (Le passé) earned multiple honors at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival including a "Best Actress" prize for Bérénice Bejo, an "Ecumenical Jury" prize for Director Asghar Farhadi, and a nomination for the prestigious Palme d'Or. The film is also Iran's official submission for the upcoming Academy Awards.
Following the screening in the DGA Theater in Los Angeles on November 13, Farhadi discussed the challenges of making The Past in a conversation moderated by Global Cinema subcommittee Chair Victoria Hochberg (The Chris Isaak Show).
Farhadi's other films include the feature films Dancing in the Dust, Beautiful City, Fireworks Wednesday, About Elly, and the 2012 Academy Award Best Foreign Language Film winner A Separation.
The DGA Special Projects Global Cinema subcommittee members are: Victoria Hochberg (Chair), Jon Amiel, Kathryn Bigelow, Jim Drake, Alexander Payne, Barbara Roche, and Arthur Allan Seidelman.

Housing and Accommodation in Switzerland
While Switzerland is best known for being home to various financial institutions and international organizations, the small, land-locked country is also home to the best ski slopes, most beautiful hiking trails, and most popular cities in Europe. The good news is that you will not have to choose between the Mediterranean charm of Ticino, and a spot in the sun at the shore of Lake Constance. Commutes are short in this country and no matter where you move to, you are always just a stone throw away from your next holiday destination.
Renting vs. Buying
Renting is more common in Switzerland than buying, especially in bigger cities. In fact, less than 40% of residents live in an apartment or house they actually own. With a vacancy rate of only 0.8% at best, the competition on the rental market is high and those who find a home they love tend to keep it as long as they can. It makes sense to hire an estate agent to up your chances, and have your paperwork in order. Keep in mind that only legal Swiss residents can rent property in Switzerland. For those who think about settling down in Switzerland, buying might be an option. This is becoming more and more popular, especially in rural areas, and new housing developments offer more choice to potential buyers. That being said, there are various restrictions for foreign buyers, depending on their visa status.
Getting Utilities Set Up
Setting up utilities is an essential step to settling into your new Swiss home. Water and heat are often included in the rent and it's usually easy to take over the previous tenant's contracts. However, connections have to be set up from scratch if you buy a house or apartment. If you need to hire an electrician for this, you will have to pay him in cash for his services. There are great bundle deals for internet, phone, and TV connections, so it makes sense to compare prices before you sign up with one specific provider. Mobile phone contracts can get you great deals for a nice, new phone but also run for a minimum of 24 months. Luckily, pre-paid mobile cards offer a cheap alternative which is becoming increasingly popular.

[CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE] Columbus packed enough Guillermo Barros Schelotto to test Toluca, but ultimately, los Diablos Rojos had too much
"Zinha." Toluca rallied from a 1-0 deficit to beat Columbus, 3-2, Wednesday night in the home leg of their Concacaf Champions League quarterfinal series and prevail, 5-4, on
A penalty kick by Hector Mancila and two superb free kicks by Antonio "Zinha" Naelson canceled out a pair of goals by Schelotto, who sat out the first leg through suspension and in this match led a valiant Crew effort.
Schelotto gave the Crew its first lead by converting a penalty kick in first-half stoppage time. After Mancila put away a penalty of his own shortly after halftime and Naelson drove in a free kick off the underside of the crossbar, he scored again in the 70th minute to re-tie the game, 2-2. But two minutes later, Naelson struck again with a right-footer that gave Crew keeper Will Hesmer no chance.
Its victory propels Toluca into the semifinals against Mexican league rival Pachuca, which beat Comunicaciones 2-1 on Tuesday. On the other side of the ledger, the consecutive games an MLS team has failed to win a competitive match in Mexico is now 20.
Toluca took command of the game early but failed to score in the first half. An Isaac Brizuela shot hit the crossbar and an attempt by Mancilla came off the underside of the bar and rebounded down onto the goal line without crossing it completely.
Columbus went ahead when Schelotto and Eddie Gaven pierced the Toluca back line; a return pass to Gaven hit the arm of Toluca defender Edgar Duenas in the penalty area and referee Paul Ward signaled for a penalty kick, which Schelotto drove home.
A foul by Gaven on Naelson in the second minute of the second half provided the penalty kick that Mancilla put away, and 10 minutes later Naelson curled a free kick from the left side over Hesmer toward the near post. It glanced off the bottom of the crossbar and landed over the goal line for a 2-1 Toluca lead.
Schelotto revived Columbus' hopes in the 70th minute, capitalizing on a rebound after Steven Lenhart, scorer of two goals in the first leg, reached Danny O'Rourke's cross to the far post and fired a shot that hit the upright. It rebounded into the middle for Schelotto to knock into the net.
Toluca came down the field again and won another free kick on the left. This time, Naelson bent it to the far top corner for a 3-2 Toluca lead and 5-4 edge on aggregate. The Crew, mindful that another goal and 3-3 away tie would be enough to advance it on the away-goals tiebreaker, brought on substitutes Emmanuel Ekpo and Emilio Renteria to revive its attack, but a second caution to Lenhart in the 80th minute left them a man short for the rest of the match.
Toluca hit the woodwork yet again in the final minutes on a swerving shot by Nestor Calderon and despite four minutes of stoppage time the Crew could not muster up one more goal.
March 17 in Toluca
Toluca 3, Columbus 2.
Goals: Mancila (penalty kick) 47, Naelson 57, 72; Schelotto (penalty kick) 45, 70.
(Toluca wins 5-4 on aggregate).
Toluca – Talavera; Duenas, Gonzalez, Romagnoli, Novaretti, Rios, Naelson (Perez, 90), Mancila, Calderon, Nava (M. De La Torre, 81), Brizuela (Esquivel, 66).
Columbus – Hesmer; Hejduk (Garey, 85), Iro, Brunner, O'Rourke, Gaven (Renteria, 75), Carroll, Moffat, Rogers (Ekpo, 77), Schelotto, Lenhart.
It's funny,game after game, year after year, the refs have broken down yet another MLS team through some controversial calls during the game. I don't understand why MLS teams or even the the US National team compete against Central American teams when they know they're not going to have a fairly ref'd game. The Fox Soccer commentators are censored idiots,not actknowledgeing bad calls during the game and the effect these bad calls have on the players.They ought to take lessons from the European commentators on how to commentate during a game,the reality of the game.
Columbus looks like a real contender in the MLS if it continues to play as they did against Toluca...FSC commentators Sullivan et al are the worst yada-yadas since Ty keough.

Steve Weathers, who took over as chief executive of San Diego's World Trade Center about a year ago, is stepping down for personal reasons, the nonprofit organization announced this week.
World Trade Center San Diego, a public-private partnership, was licensed in 1994 by the city of San Diego, the Unified Port of San Diego and the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. The organization has about 300 local members, from major publicly traded companies such as Qualcomm and Bank of America to smaller businesses. It's part of a network of 330 World Trade Centers in 100 countries that promote international business.
Weathers began the job last December after leading the Economic Development Authority in Savannah, Ga. He spent 1990 to 2001 as vice president of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.
Weathers, 50, said in a January interview with the U-T that his goal was to promote the benefits that international trade can bring to San Diego businesses. He organized events that encouraged business relationships with Japan and China.
Weathers announced his resignation at the end of the Nov. 20 board meeting, said Sam Kephart, who is taking over as interim CEO until at least February, when a search for a permanent replacement begins.
"We have a very sophisticated and powerful board and the CEO always serves at their pleasure," said Kephart, who began working at the center in July as its vice president of marketing. "I really comment prior to my being on scene but certainly things were working reasonably well during the time I was there."
Kephart, 63, is a sales and media executive who has run a consulting firm for the last 10 years. He attended University of California, San Diego's Muir College and completed his bachelor of business administration at National University.
Calls to Weathers' cellphone were not returned. He officially steps down Dec. 4, although Kephart says he is now acting as interim CEO.
Steve Austin, chairman of the board of directors, said the center has done well despite the tough economic times of The Great Recession.
"We're doing fine. Recessions aren't easy for any of these nonprofits, but we've got a very good team," he said. "It's a very positive organization. The thing that I've always been preaching is the importance in San Diego of growing international global trade with innovation."
Austin declined to give a salary range for the new CEO position.
In 2011, the latest tax year available, the nonprofit reported $1.08 million in revenue, and a net income of $51,588. Bella Heule, the 10-year CEO who preceded Weathers, accepted a job as vice president of the World Trade Centers Association in New York. In 2011, she earned $116,966 from the San Diego organization, the center's tax filings show.

When Earl Warren boarded an airliner and took off for Washington this week, a whole political era in California went with him. The independent Warren, who had built his political power on bipartisan support, turned the governorship over to Goodwin Jess Knight, a regular, conservative, organization Republican. The new governor, a back-thumping, bouncing lawyer of 56 who has served seven years as lieutenant governor, could not hope to win the Democrats who supported Warren. But the day Warren departed was a good day for "Goody" Knight. It meant that he will be running for governor next year as the incumbent,...

Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2 will transition from Mainstream Support to Extended Support on July 13, 2010. Extended Support for both will end on July 14, 2015. This date was announced because the follow-on product, Windows Server 2008, released to manufacturing (RTM) on February 4, 2008. This transition timeline is in line with the Support Lifecycle policy, which states that Mainstream Support for Business and Developer products will be provided for either five years or for two years after the successor product (N+1) is released, whichever is longer.
*NEW! Update Available for Extended Hotfix Support (EHS)for Daylight Saving Time (DST)
With the spring time change near, it is important for customers to be aware that their existing EHS DST contracts may be expiring. Customers who wish to purchase the 2008 EHS DST can do so through their normal hotfix fulfillment process. New EHS DST contracts signed on or after January 1, 2008 will end on December 31 of the year the service contract was signed. For example, if a customer enters into an EHS DST Agreement on March 15, 2008, the end date for the contract will be December 31, 2008. If a customer enters into an EHS DST Agreement on January 1, 2009, the contract will end December 31, 2009.
Customers who have a current Custom Support agreement must use the hotfix request process to request DST updates for that product. They must pay the appropriate "per hotfix fee" for the DST hotfix for each product that has a Custom Support Agreement.
Note: DST Update Events follow normal and existing support policies and procedures. Incident-based support will be handled according to the normal support guidelines. Customers who do not have Premier Support can enroll in EHS for DST by contacting Microsoft Customer Service. More details are available here: http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifean22.
*NEW! Windows Messenger 5.1 Mainstream Support Ends on January 13, 2009
Windows Messenger 5.1 is considered a component of Live Communications Server 2003.

Windows Messenger 5.1 is covered by the same Extended Hotfix Support Agreement as that for Live Communications Server 2003.
This announcement is in line with the Lifecycle policy that states components are supported with the lifecycle of the product or service pack they were shipped with.
Service Pack Policy Updated
In response to customer feedback, Microsoft is pleased to announce modifications to the service pack support policy. Support for service packs will now vary according to the product family, such as Windows, Office, Server, and so on, but will remain consistent within the product family. In the past, decisions were made for individual products, which made the predictability of service pack support for customers a challenge. Based on the modified policy, Microsoft will no longer make decisions based on individual service packs as they are released. Instead, each service pack will follow the support timeline established for the product family.
Service pack timelines for each product family are now published on the Support Lifecycle Web site.

- Wig Review
- This wig would be great if you're just styling ALL the hair up. As it is, it left alot of bald spots because it was very thin everywhere that's not the hairline. It wasn't super noticeable when worn. I didn't want to spend more money and time on putting wefts in it. If I were doing this wig again, I would not use this wig unless I wanted to spend the extra on filling it out. The wig was also very big on my head as Arda wigs always are. It got the job done satisfactorily though I guess and I got to me super fast.

Although Canoe Ventures exited the interactive TV advertising game last month, the platform is alive and well at Cablevision Systems Corp., which says its has thus far delivered nearly 4 billion impressions in the nation's largest DMA.
The New York metro area's predominant distributor has conducted over 900 ITV ad campaigns for 600 clients, including national advertisers Mattel, Ford, Disney, Unilever and the U.S. Navy, as well local and regional sponsors, including marketers in the health care producer and educational institutions categories, according to Cablevision executives.
Cablevision maintains that as advertisers continue to seek more accountability, the MSO's suite of highly differentiated advanced advertising products deliver enhanced relevance, consumer engagement and rich campaign metrics.
"Even with Canoe's shift in direction, advertisers should know that the cable providers, like Cablevision, continue to offer and enhance their advanced advertising products," said David Kline, president and COO of Cablevision Media Sales, in a statement. "Interactive television advertising has changed the way advertisers engage with consumers and Cablevision delivers a robust set of advanced capabilities to local and national advertisers. The participation and response from advertisers has been tremendous. We have helped to generate nearly four billion impressions to date and in the last year alone, conducted more than 900 campaigns from more than 600 advertisers in the nation's largest market."
The ITV advertising update by Cablevision echoes remarks made by Comcast Cable senior vice president, general manager of video services Marcien Jenckes. Speaking at the Advanced Advertising event, "Setting the 2012 Agenda," sponsored by B&C and Multichannel News in New York last week, Jenckes said the cable industry, in general, and the nation's largest distributor, in particular, remain committed to ITV advertising. Jenckes, who gave a shout out to Cablevision for its "good work" with the platform, pointed out that Comcast Spotlight, the MSO's ad sales arm, has engaged in upward of 1,700 ITV campaigns that have delivered 4.5 billion impressions to date.
Cablevision Media Sales offers a full suite of highly differentiated products that deliver enhanced relevance, consumer engagement and rich campaign metrics, analytics and insight. Cablevision was first to offer dedicated branded channels and other advanced products including, the first and largest deployment of addressable advertising to date, and the introduction of Optimum Select RFI that empowers digital cable customers to immediately respond to commercials through their TV remote control and engage directly with the advertiser.
Cablevision, Comcast and other distributors' initiatives in the field drew the praise of top executives in the media buying community.
"There is continuing pressure from the industry for advanced advertising. The need for household addressable advertising plus interactive services and metrics on TV will only continue to rise," said Irwin Gotlieb, chairman of GroupM. "The efforts to date, by Cablevision and other television distributors, to develop and prove these capabilities is vital and laudable and will positively impact the underlying economics of television."
Noted Craig Woerz, managing partner of Media Storum: "Interactive television is very much alive and the momentum only continues to increase. We have significant experience with advanced TV ad platforms for a wide range of clients nationwide, providing critical insight and consumer engagement. Cablevision has allowed us to paddle into areas
that our clients have seen direct benefit from in return on investment."

Is College Worth It?
June 3, 2014
More and more Americans are questioning whether college is worth the cost, yet postsecondary education is more important to economic success today than ever before. Andrew Kelly, founding director of the Center on Higher Education Reform at the American Enterprise Institute, clarifies questions surrounding the debate over higher education.
Determining the value of a college education today is confusing: Tuition prices and student debt are on the rise, and while wages for college graduates are down, the wage premium for a college degree is at its highest levels. So is college worth it?
Kelly concludes that going to college is generally worth it for the individuals who actually graduate from college.
Going to college is not the same as completing college.
- When studies compare the wages of individuals with bachelor's degrees to the wages of those with only high school diplomas, they include only students who actually complete their college education, not students who go to college but drop out.
- While the college payoff is undoubtedly larger than for those with only high school diplomas, it cannot be as large, Kelly writes, as studies make it appear.
- The answer to whether college is worth it should incorporate the risk of a student not completing his studies. Students deciding between entering the workforce or enrolling in school should recognize this distinction.
Most studies compare graduates with debt to graduates without debt, finding that graduates with debt have lower levels of well-being and less wealth, an unsurprising statistic. However, what about comparing graduates with debt to non-graduates without debt? A Pew study determined that graduates with debt have less wealth ($2,200 less) than those without debt and without a college degree. Of course, Kelly says, graduates generally have higher wages than non-graduates, allowing them to accumulate wealth more quickly once their debts are settled.
The students who fare the worst are those with debt but who do not graduate from college. In the same Pew study, students with college debt who failed to graduate had just 14 percent of the wealth that college graduates with debt had.

Schiff is in the process of launching its latest Move Free joint supplement — Move Free One — which combines hyaluronic acid and astaxanthin with krill oil, the source of omega-3 for its Mega Red brand.
After more than 1 million people voted in Walmart's "Get On The Shelf Competition," America has chosen its top 10 most innovative products it would like to see on Walmart's shelves.
Awareness around the benefits of krill oil versus fish oil — being just as effective with a lesser amount and the possibility that krill oil may leave more EPA and DHA in the body to be absorbed, according to two clinicals published in 2011 — may be a hot topic in 2012.
There's a new fish oil on the market, and one that doesn't have a chance at producing a fish "burp" — krill oil.
Pharmavite's newest product, Nature Made Krill Oil, offers a new source of omega-3 fatty acids in addition to a naturally occurring antioxidant called astaxanthin. The algae that krill eat produce the bright-red pigment astaxanthin that gives krill and other crustaceans, such as lobster and shrimp, their reddish-pink color.
Pharmavite's new Nature Made 300-mg Krill Oil supplement packs in all the EPAs and DHAs without the fishy aftertaste.
Nordic Naturals is boosting its offerings with the introduction of a new salmon oil supplement.

Two men charged in an attempted break-in at a Falls gas station
NIAGARA FALLS – Police responding to a burglary in progress at 4:20 a.m. Wednesday at a gas station in the 8600 block of Niagara Falls Boulevard arrested two men at the scene.
Jason Laufenberg, 39, of Niagara Falls Boulevard, was charged with attempted third-degree burglary and restricted use of alcohol in a public place, after Laufenberg was found intoxicated and carrying an open can of beer, police said. Robert D. Oyer, 54, of a different apartment in the same Niagara Falls Boulevard address, was charged with attempted third-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools.
Officers found a large screwdriver in Oyer's pocket and a lock picking kit. The lock near where the two men were standing appeared to have tool marks from the lock pick kit, according to police.

Ways to kill a Carver:
Run mids and or highs only (locks the commutators up).
Run an extension cord or poor circuit (voltage falls and supply draws more to compensate).
Run off a small gas generator. (love that, both amp and generator become extinct).
Plug into 550 VAC (flames will cut TO-3 cases and bottom cover)
Let moron service it. (most people refuse to read the service manual).
Carver amps have more protecton than normal amps and normally will simply shut down (except in above cases). I've seen racks operate flawlessly for years.
The Carver type power supply does not hold a huge amount of energy in reserve. It holds just enough to do the job. Therefore the standby current is very small, little heat being dissipated. Once a signal comes along, the required energy is almost immediately draw from the AC supply. This is because the energy is regulated right at the AC input. As the regulating circuits sense a supply voltage drop, they increase the conduction angle on the triac which results in more current being draw. It does this very quickly in time with the music. The fans on a PM 1.5 sit on their own winding and unregulated power supply, so are speed controlled by how hard the triac is turned on. You can hear them going to the music.
What I'm getting at is that the current demands are very immediate from the AC supply. Most times people load these amps down at 4 ohms or lower (even though they shouldn't). Now, a gas generator's output is controlled a little by changing the field current in the generator. The problem is that it can't track the Carver's current demands because they are so quick. The generator overshoots (voltage too high). This tends to cause a decrease in current in the Carver. The generator then undershoots (voltage too low) so the Carver draws more current. The cycle is like a low frequency oscillation - depending on the generator.
At some point the voltage gets high enough to damage the Carver, or low enough to damage the Carver and generator (at low voltage the Carver draws much higher than normal current). How would you like to have a mixer on the same circuit for that ride? All source devices get severely abused as well. Anyway, anything can happen once this gets out of control. I have no doubt that there are generators that can put up with this. The problem is that everyone buys the least expensive generator they can find.
Extension cords are also very bad for these amps if they are too thin or the run is too long. High voltage drop = high current = blown fuse at some point. A possible shorted triac means that when the fuse is replaced the amp may go full current with extremely high voltages inside. This is not pretty.

Hosting the Academy Awards may be the most dangerous gig in the entertainment industry. Steering the increasingly bloated broadcast to conclusion while being entertaining has been a Herculean task. Nowadays the Oscars can't even find a host without controversy. In 2011 Eddie Murphy was going to host, but decided against it. That was after the show also lost producer Brett Ratner, who made some homophobic comments.
The negotiations this year appear to be going just as well. According to a Los Angeles Times account, The Academy wants NBC late night host Jimmy Fallon, who earned kudos for his 2010 Emmy hosting gig. The Oscars desperately want younger viewers, and Fallon speaks to that need. ABC airs the award broadcast howver, and apparently has no desire to promote a rival talk show host. ABC host Jimmy Kimmel is doing The Emmys, leaving him out of consideration here.
The Academy isn't obligated to get ABC's approval for its choice. It may not want to ruffle feathers, however. Whatever happens, they must make sure there's not another debacle like James Franco and Anne Hathaway co-hosting. She was eager and obviously trying to avert the train wreck. Franco looked like he was auditioning for a "Pineapple Express" sequel.

Report: Dukes Parker may skip 2014 NBA Draft
Sportsnet Staff
January 20, 2014, 6:54 PM
The 2014 NBA Draft might not be as deep as everyone once thought.
Bulls.com reporter Sam Smith writes that Duke small forward Jabari Parker might opt in favour of returning to the Blue Devils for his sophomore year instead of entering the draft:
And the growing view among NBA executives seems to be Jabari Parker will not leave Duke this year. Chicagoan Jahlil Okafor, a Parker friend and big man, is going to Duke next season. Parker is a bright young man with a strong family and the feeling is he understands both the importance of education and feels he owes Duke and the chance to have a great Duke team, which more than likely is the next two seasons. Plus, Parker has seen what staying in school has done for other greats compared with the tough starts for even stars like Kobe Bryant.
Parker, along with Kansas Jayhawks teammates Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid highlight the upcoming draft but if Parker returns to Duke and Wiggins doesnt break out of his current slump, this years draft could become disappointing for some NBA teams."
If I am not mistaken we do have the Knicks 2015 pick and by the looks of their squad they might suck next year too.

Toledo stops Kalamazoo 2-1
(Kalamazoo, MI)– Goaltender Hannu Toivonen made 47 saves to lead Toledo to a 2-1 win in Kalamazoo on Friday night. Toledo has an overall record of 8-12-3-0 and is 3-7-3-0 on the road this season.
Toledo and Kalamazoo finished the first period scoreless despite the Wings having three power play chances.
"It was tough to get off to good start with all of the penalties against us in the first period," said Head Coach Nick Vitucci. "That said, our penalty kill did the job and gave us a chance tonight along with the outstanding goaltending from Toivonen."
The Wings would collect the first goal of the game at 8:15 of the second period when Justin Taylor tapped in a rebound past Hannu Toivonen. Kalamazoo had 38 shots on goal after two periods.
It would take most of the third period but Toledo would tie the game at one when David Gilbert deflected a Scott Arnold pass into the goal at 17:18. The Walleye would take the lead when Pat Mullane scored on a penalty shot just 20 seconds later for his first professional.
Walleye Notes: Goaltender Hannu Toivonen made 47 saves on 48 shots in net for Toledo. Toivonen has a record of 3-4-0-0 this year. Toivonen made 17 saves in the first period.

Common Box, or as professionals say Buxus Sempervirens, is a good evergreen plant, most often used for hedging or topiary.
As I live on a corner of a street, I have a lot of boundary to look after. I have used Common Box as hedging for my front garden and am very pleased I did. In the long term I have found it more robust and less expensive than maintaining the wooden fence that I used to have.
Before my front garden fence disintegrated with age, I planted some small Box plants. I bought as many as I could afford, and as they grew, took cuttings from them to make extra plants. I am not an expert gardener but found growing them from cuttings easy. It is best planted in autumn or spring, 30 to 40cms (12 to 18 inches) apart. As with most young plants, it is very important that the soil is not allowed to dry out.
You do have to be patient, especially if you are using small plants, as Box is slow growing, but that is the reason I prefer it to the other plant often used for hedging Privet. Privet will grow quickly, which may initially be good, but once mature, needs clipping back often to keep it neat. Box grows slowly, but once it reaches the desired height, only needs clipping once a year to maintain it at that level.
I took away my old fence 3 years after planting the young Box hedge, which by then no longer needed its protection. Parts of my hedge are in almost constant shade and parts have the morning sun on them. All parts are now mature and healthy.
If left unchecked each plant can grow to 5m x 5m (16ft x 16ft), however, I keep my front garden hedge at just over a metre (about 4 foot) high by using my electric hedge trimmer on it just once a year. To encourage hedges to thicken, this is best done about May time.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Box as a hardy evergreen hedging and topiary plant.
I have always admired the knot gardens which are frequently illustrated in gardening books, but didn't think I had the space in my small garden for one. However, after having had a chimney dismantled, I was left with a huge amount of very old bricks. I knew these were frequently sought out in reclamation yards, so was rather reluctant to dispose of them. After some consideration I decided to have a small circular patio built at the far end of my garden. Unfortunately however, I was rather timid in deciding the proportions of this patio and once it was finished it looked rather on the small side. It was then that I decided here was the opportunity to use Box edging.It wasn't quite the knot garden I had always admired, but planting this edging around the patio improved its scale and enclosed it in a very attractive manner. Box is however, rather expensive to buy in garden centres and I was reluctant to spend the £8/10 per plant which seemed to be the norm where-ever I went, especially as I knew I would need in the region of at least 20 or so plants. Luckily Asda saved the day. I know that all you experienced gardeners will probably groan at this, but the supermarkets do occasionally have very good offers on plants. Asda were selling Box for £2.99 per plant, which was obviously a great saving to me. The secret in buying from supermarkets seems to be to buy the plants when they are initially on offer. You do have to watch out that they haven't been on sale for some time without ever being watered. I feel very sad when I see what should be perfectly healthy plants almost dead in supermarkets through sheer neglect and lack of water. Anyway, back to the Box (so to speak). My particular plants have thrived considerably since first planting and a kind colleague informed me that they are remarkably easy to propogate. Box needs clipping I believe twice a year to keep it bushy and in shape. These clippings merely have to
be inserted in the soil and 9 times out of 10 will take off, giving you even more plants for your garden. I now have so many plants I am running out of space. Obviously it will take time for these clippings to be bushy specimens as Box is rather slow growing, but when you think of the saving, it is well worth the effort taken. A knot garden isn't meant to be particularly high anyway so this plant is ideal (incidentally it also looks extremely attractive dividing vegetables or herbs). I intend to put some of my Box plants in pots now and have a try a topiary. The price of Box topiary in garden centres is astronomical so hopefully I will have saved a bomb there too. I even intend to place some by my front door. Box seems to grow in almost any sort of soil and requires little attention. It is similar to, but not as vigorous as privet and in addition does not rob the soil of its nutrients in the same way privet does. It can be used as an edging plant in much the same way bedding plants are used and gives a formal look to areas of the garden. As it is an evergreen it gives interest all year round. I would recommend Box to any gardener, whether they like a cottage garden, a patio garden a formal garden or even a wild garden. There is always room for a small formal plot and Box can be used to separate the different compartments of the garden. Don't pay astronomical prices for it though, look out for it being sold cheaply in supermarkets....ie., BOX CLEVER!

Just been out riding with my 12 year old daughter and while we can get her decent tops/jackets/grippy shoes/padded shorts, can't find a pair of baggy shorts anywhere.
Purple (I know ;)) preferred. 5ft5 in old money, slim waist so not sure if we could try some S women's sizes. Even so being a bloke, not sure where to start looking!
After today's excursions, might have to consider knee pads as well. She must be the only kid in year 7 with MTB scars
