tnx to the OP
2600 color laser does. Here are some comments people have made about the
Full user opinion
"nice inexpensive..but HP has made it that way on purpose......the printer has
imbedded chips in it that says when to replace the ink. even if you only use
black, when it goes the chips say all the ink is done. you have no choice but
to replace all 4 inks, and its at least every 3 months if not sooner...and at
85 bucks a pop it adds up..HP has done a number on this one....stay away...or
shell out 400 bucks every 3 months for ink....HP should be arrested for
stealing.....never again. "
So it is possible that a laser printer can have the same type of chips.
Anyway, the Tectonix printers are much nicer :-) The last I heard was
that they replaced the solid wax pigment blocks free of charge for the
lifetime of the printer with those. It may only have been the black
wax block though.
I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate.
Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to
the next one that way.

Please don't hate or judge me for this post... :(
Ye probably think I'm an annoying depressive twat...
Right this is really starting to get to me.
People seem to assume EVERYONE with SA is introverted.
I wouldnt call myself fully introverted. I'm slightly extroverted. I Know for a fact I've SA though. I hate that people say, because you love people and love talking, that you don't have SA and think its a cry for attention or something.
I'm too quiet to be normal and now, because I like talking to people, I don't have SA?!
Just because I talk to people and have a social life, it doesn't mean I'm secretly TERRIFIED of making a fool of myself behind it all. I want people to think I'm one of them so attempt to make time for them.
I want to give people a new first impression of me instead of thinking of me as "that weird quiet misfortune who has somethin' wrong with her". Ive struggled with SA nearly all my frickken life! I'm obviously gonna try talk to people, even if it does seem impossible!
It doesnt mean i havent spent every breaktime in school hiding from people to avoid the torture of knowing nobody wants to talk to me, That i go home early from a night out 'cause everyones dancing and i feel like a fool standing there sober on my own, that i hide food and have a mini-nervous breakdown everytime someone see's me even standing near food, that i think everyone's talking about me, constantly, and that i rely on alcohol just to build up the courage to strike up a conversation....and that doesnt even work a lot of the time!
I dont think extraversion is a good enough reason to judge someone. They could be putting on an act on the outside while being a chronicaly anxious mess on the inside..
Nobody but a proffessional or the person themselves has a right to say they have/haven't SA unless they know how they truly feel.
Sorry but i had to rant..
Anyone else out there with SA who is extroverted in the slightest?

Don't feel bad for feeling like that at all. I go out a lot of the time and I won't say that I don't have friends because I have a great deal of them actually but that doesn't mean that there arent' days I'm terrified of failing or making a fool of myself in front of them. People have varying degrees of SA, some more severe than others and not all of us have to fit into this mold of if we are even slightly extroverted we're just saying we might have SA or asking for attention. If we're asking for attention you stupid f*cker then why do we shy away from people just like you? People are dumb, don't bother with them if they're not going to help.
Most likely the people downing you are those who are above and beyond scared to do that stuff themselves. That's not your fault or theirs, just need a new perspective on it.

It turns out that I am very extroverted, because now that my medication has curbed my anxiety, I am started to find that I liked talking to people and making friends all along.
Its just that I crushed that part of me along time ago, and denied that it existed so that I wouldn't have to deal with the Social Phobia as much as possible.

I agree with this alot, i feel at times pretty extroverted i mean i'd happily shout something out in the middle of class, was a while ago now, but a good example and half enjoy the attention that went with it, assuming what i said was worthwhile....and then at the same time be blushing and looking down at my feet, i learned to just take the embarrassment. That's not exactly hitting the definition of extroversion entirely but i do like so******ing and going and doing stuff when things go right...other times when i feel i **** up in someway it's not so good. I can't work it out really whether i become drained from so******ing or from privacy, most likely there's a balance but often just a day at work or out with a friend and i'll be feeling pretty good in myself....give it a few days (or weeks) of being alone, completely charged up (think a diagram of a power bar works with that) from the event before and i'll slowly start to need to get out and just see people.
hmmm bit of a brainstorm in a paragraph can't be assed for grammar so i'll stop here.,
You never have to qualify to be on these forums, this one in particular has quite a wide range, (HH, OCD, Depression etc.) Just get what you want from these forums and grin...just sit there and grin.

I've always thought that SA could affect both introverts and extroverts- it just seems like it would be doubly frustrating for an extrovert, depending on the severity of the anxiety.
Also, I don't think that introversion and extroversion are two distinct points... I think it's more like a continuous spectrum, with most people falling somewhere in the middle (not at the extreme outlying points), just leaning towards one side more than the other.

i think social anxiety is a hidden disease for most people. I'm an introvert through and through, but i have been called outgoing before (forwhatever weird reason). No one else but me knows how much of my life I have spent alone, the lengths I've gone to avoid people, money i've lost due to social phobia, and the lack of fufillment in my life because of it. And also too, like for me, by the time I get into public, I've probably already spent hours feeling anxious and worrying. I think sa people can have different comfort levels for different environments- whether school work social family or even talking online. I think that being socially phobic doesn't define a person's personality or visa versa.
and i don't think you're annoying

I've said this a million times, but I will repeat: People will never understand what SA is unless they suffer/suffered from it. If they don't know what it is, they will make those idiotic assumptions. Enough said.

Thanked 2 Times
I don't think anyone would get upset with your comments, its pretty well know that SA can affect both introverts and extroverts. It's probably harder if you're extrovert because you to get out there but the SA is holding you back.

Hi I have an Cisco EA2700 router and a Motorola SB6121 modem. If I'm connected to the router wirelessly or through any of the lan ports, I can't visit the modem's diagnostics page at 192.168.100.1. If I connect directly to the modem, it works fine. Also I cannot ping the modem through the router, just get a timeout. My ISP is Comcast.
Any ideas?
Same problem with my EA2700 with Cablevision. Also if I reboot my EA2700, I cannot get an ip address from Cablevision. I must power cycle my cable modem every time after router is restarted to reconnect to internet.
Cable modem is an Arris TM822G. Definitely something buggy with the 1.2 and 1.4 firmwares.
04-20-2012 03:26 PM - edited 04-20-2012 03:30 PM
Before I suggest you for any troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few questions. How is the modem connected with the router? Is the router working, means can you able to go online through the router? What IP address do you get on a computer when connected to the router? To check the IP address that you are getting from the Router...
You can check the IP address in the following manner:
# Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
# A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" …
There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
Check if there is no static IP address provided to the computer. If there is any then try to remove it and then check the connectivity status…
Other wire, here is the link to set up your router with Cable Internet service: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0ff4c94586a345d082828ec2161aaecf_3686.xml&pid=80&r...
04-20-2012 04:58 PM - edited 04-20-2012 05:01 PM
The modem is connected through the router's internet ethernet port... Yes the router is working and internet service is fast and stable. The ip address associated to the router is the default 192.168.1.1 There is no static ip address.
So, still the modem management page is not accessible. If not, then check if there is any firewall or security center is enabled. Try to disable them and then check the connectivity status...
No firewalls are enabled on the computer I'm trying to access the modem with. I disabled the ipv4 and ipv6 spi firewalls on the router, still no access.
The main reason behind the concern is that the IP adddress of the Router and the cable modem are in two different series due which you are unable to open the moddem setup page or could ping the modem..
Hello Cisco/Linksys,
There is a serious issue with the EA2700 that does not initialize the WAN port correctly when cannoted to a cable modem.
I'm quite technical so no troubleshooting assistance is needed. The problem is not with my cable modem or ISP as my other test routers work fine and connect with no issues.
I advise you to look into this ASAP or you will see a lot of returns on this new product.
Did you or did oy not follow the advice posted in the link up the thread:
Pasted from the relevant post...
# Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
# A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" …
There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
Check if there is no static IP address provided to the computer. If there is any then try to remove it and then check the connectivity status…
End of paste...
The poster was not asking you whether your router was assigned a static address. He was trying to make sure that your PC did not have either other IP addresses or left over routes holding over from when you had the PC directly connected to the modem. Such leftovers would prevent your PC from accessing the cable modem's status page. I have seen cases where WIndows will act this way.
Have you tried to clear out any old routes or old leases from your PC, or tried to access the router from another PC by any chance?
The router has to be working and accessing and routing traffic correctly if you can access the Internet. If you cannot access that one specific IP I would suspect a local PC issue.
This will help if you are using XP:
Windows 7 is another animal entirely.
I'm guessing that this is a local PC issue.
What do the above steps have to do with the EA2700 getting an address from my ISP?
My local network is fine and I can connect to the router. My router (EA2700) cannot get an IP addrss from my ISP and I cannot connect to the internet.

The Financing Behaviour of Firms in a Developing Economy: The Nigerian scenario
The goal of this study is to ascertain the validity of the asymmetry of information idea in explaining the financing choice of firms in Nigeria. The sample covers 60 firms quoted in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. The Nigerian nation does not have a well developed capital market and so remain heavily on internal funding. Using a regression analysis, this study reveals that leverage is a decreasing function of profitability. This supports the pecking order theory. The current economic problems in Nigeria can be attributed not to too much reliance on financial markets, but to too little. There is some sort of misalignments between the capital market and the money market which is likely to affect the efficiency of one in meeting the financing needs of corporations. There should be complementary roles between the two markets. In Nigeria, this expected complementary roles between the two markets lag. While it makes sense, for instance for banks to brave up towards meeting the long term financing needs of firms, it is also very necessary for the other fund providers to design financing products that would help fill up arising financing gaps not covered by banks. We recommend that firms would have to device other strategic ways of diversifying their funding sources. One is by balancing their investments in both fixed and current assets.

Webber: The team wanted points, but so did I
|F. Alonso
|S. Vettel
|M. Webber
13 July 2011 – Mark Webber has again spoken of his decision to attack Sebastian Vettel in the closing stages of the British Grand Prix, electing to ignore team orders from Christian Horner. After starting from pole position, the Australian eventually finished third and less than half a second behind his championship-leading team-mate.
"You get what you deserve in motor racing and Fernando Alonso was the deserved winner of Sunday's British Grand Prix," Webber wrote in a column for Australia's Herald Sun. "My start from pole position was okay, but the right side of the grid had more grip and Seb got the jump into Turn 1.
Following the infamous Red Bull collision of last year's Turkish Grand Prix, Webber insists that he and Vettel are able to race without making contact.
"The team was worried about Seb and me crashing into each other and we proved that we can race without doing that," he continued. "I don't want to crash into anyone, be it my team-mate or my compatriot Daniel Ricciardo who, incidentally, finished his first Grand Prix in the Hispania, which is great for him."

Mets crumbling under Wilpons' debts
Among the events in Mets history that will live in infamy, Jose Reyes' defection to the Marlins ranks close to the top — right there with the trade that sent Tom Seaver to the Reds in 1977.
Yes, it's true, Reyes is leaving of his own free will, signing a wildly overpriced six-year, $106 million contract. But his absence will be no less traumatic to Mets fans than Seaver's. Both were superstars of their generations in Flushing. Both departures reflected badly on ownership — especially in Reyes' case.
Make no mistake about the shortstop's motivation: He walked not because he was greedy or had a grudge against the Mets. Reyes is history because the Wilpons opened the door and all but escorted him out. The family, steeped in debt, couldn't afford to keep Reyes, and never had any intention of paying him another dollar once his contract expired in 2011.
GM Sandy Alderson confirmed the team's dire financial situation on Sunday night. In admitting defeat on Reyes, he said the Mets had lost a staggering $70 million in 2011 alone.
If anything, the Marlins did the Wilpons a favor by bidding against themselves. With a deal that could pay as much as $111 million including a buyout in 2018, Miami kept the Mets from having to engage in a negotiation they didn't have the stomach or resources for. And that's the take-away from their biggest setback in decades: The Wilpons, clearly, are no longer able to finance a big-market team.
If Bud Selig is interested in across-the-board fairness — if he's sincere about a uniform application of his rules — he has to take a hard look at the Mets' finances, the same way he put Frank McCourt under a microscope.
Both are marquee franchises hurting for money. The only difference is that Selig personally detested McCourt. The Wilpons, however, have been given a much wider berth, owing in part to the commissioner's longstanding friendship with Fred Wilpon.
McCourt had to be squeezed out of the ownership circle for misuse of the Dodgers' assets. Now it's time for Selig to ask what happened to the $25 million loan that MLB floated the Mets in 2010, which has yet to be repaid.
The money wasn't a gift to the Wilpons; it was supposed to keep the Mets relevant until they regained financial stability. But still facing a mountain of debt, the Mets simply couldn't make a concerted effort to pursue Reyes. Fact is, they never even made an offer.
If the Wilpons didn't even try to keep their best player, what hope is there for the future? What possible sales pitch can the Mets use to bring fans to the ballpark in 2012? They've already lost 40 percent of the four million loyalists they drew in 2008. And with anti-ownership sentiment exploding on blogs and message boards — not to mention the likelihood of a last-place finish next summer — it's possible the Mets will fail to attract two million fans for the first since 1997.
No wonder Alderson looked so uncomfortable answering questions on Sunday night at the winter meetings. The GM said he hasn't given up on 2012, citing the Cardinals and Diamondbacks as examples of what a can-do work ethic can accomplish. But none of Alderson's pronouncements sounded convincing, not as he continues to stand in front of the slings and arrows meant for the Wilpons.
Alderson, who came to the Mets with a sterling reputation, didn't sign up to shepherd a team that's going broke. That wasn't in his initial job description. Yet, look at the trend line: The Wilpons are savaging what was once a $140 million payroll by some $50 million next year.
Trying to topple toe Braves and Phillies, not to mention the now-surging Marlins and even the Nationals, will be impossible on just $90 million, especially with only two established players remaining on the roster.
David Wright and Johan Santana are all that's left, and don't think for a minute the Wilpons aren't already doing the math on trading their star third baseman. It's the only way to cope with the huge checks the Mets will soon have to write.
Consider: The Wilpons owe $430 million in principal of a loan against the team, due in 2014. They owe $450 million in principal of a loan against SNY, due in 2015. They owe an estimated $600 million, due in $25 million increments every six months, on the ballpark.
And we haven't even mentioned the collateral damage from the Madoff lawsuit, which currently stands at $83 million. That is, unless Judge Jed Rakoff's recent ruling, which was favorable to the Mets, is allowed to stand. If Rakoff's calculations are reversed on appeal, the Wilpons could be on the hook for hundreds of millions more.
That explains everything about the Mets' restraint over Reyes, and their reaction to losing him on Sunday, which could be distilled to two words: Oh, well.
Nowhere in Alderson's postmortem was a hint of embarrassment or regret at the way Reyes left, or to whom the war was lost. Not the respected franchises like the Phillies or Giants, but the upstart Marlins, who went crazy with the dollars because of one overriding obsession: They had to have Reyes in the starting lineup on Opening Day in 2012. No matter what.
The Mets? They had no such energy. They had no plan, period. Alderson's strategy was reduced to hoping no one would consider Reyes worthy of $100-plus million. Then, in a depressed market, the Mets could play to his loyalty.
It was a long shot, to be sure, and the Mets ensured their doom by failing to make Reyes a priority. Even when they had a five-day window of negotiating exclusivity, the Mets didn't see fit to woo Reyes. Now we know why. It's hard to fake it when you're broke.

By comparison, America's most expensive day of racing is the Kentucky Derby, where the face value of a ticket on Millionaire's Row is a mere $525 -- and that includes a buffet. Highly coveted box seats near the finish line of the third floor in the clubhouse have a face value of just $210. Of course, getting access to either of those two areas at face value is another story.
The Dubai World Cup is not just the world's richest horse race, it can also be the most expensive racing event on the globe to attend. Though fans can take a low-budget approach, with free admission to certain areas, the more well-heeled patrons might reach deep into their pockets and go first class, paying as much as US$742 for a seat in one of the suites overlooking the finish line.Of course, getting to Dubai isn't cheap, either. Round trip airfare (first class) from London's Gatwick airport is priced at $5,258. A room (not a suite) at the Jebel Ali Hotel in Dubai runs about $560 per night (plus 20% in taxes and service charges). Clearly, a day at the races on Dubai World Cup Day at Nad al Sheba isn't the same as a Wednesday at Aqueduct. The "international village," where a walkaround pass costs $27, has a dress code of "national dress" or "lounge suits" for men and "fashionable race attire" or "national dress" for women. The village will feature a fashion show and prizes for "best dressed lady," according to the World Cup web site.But that's entry level for racing fans. One step up from there is the Al Dana Marquee package, at $270 per person, featuring an afternoon tea, two glasses of champagne, and buffet -- all in a large tent for 1,000 people.Nad al Sheba racecourse is on the same property as a golf course, and the clubhouse to the course has several rooms for dining with an admission price of $338. That includes buffet, complimentary drinks throughout the day, and post-race entertainment and dancing.Fairway Pavilions offer entertainment opportunities for up to 50 people at a cost of $20,250, roughly $405 per person -- and that price excludes food and beverage. These air-conditioned buildings are stationed close to the rail and are located between the furlong pole and quarter pole near the top of the stretch. Larger two-story Corporate Chalets are available for up to 100 people at a cost of $40,500 (also not including food or beverage costs).The new Millennium Stand, constructed for this year's World Cup program, is five stories tall, with a variety of hospitality options, including private suites. Most areas of the stand are sold out, including the Darley Suite and Rutland Suite on the top level, where the going rate is $22,275 for 30 people, a cst of $742 each (excluding food and beverage).

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 02, 2014
In response to a January 25th article published by the Miami Herald, Dr. Michael Gabriel encourages parents to teach children good dental hygiene as early as possible to ensure good overall health.
According to the January 25th article published by the Miami Herald titled "Good dental health is vital, beginning in infancy," doctors and dentists say dental hygiene is a vital part of overall health. Recent studies have shown that gum disease heightens one's risk of heart attack and stroke and links poor dental health to Alzheimer's disease as well. These results push the issue of practicing healthy dental hygiene (flossing, brushing, regular dentist visits, etc.) starting in infancy.
Dr. Rosie Roldan, director of the Pediatric Dental Center at Miami's Children's Hospital and director of its pediatric dental residency program, says, "Cavities can happen as early as nine months of age. The teeth start erupting at six months, so they haven't been in the mouth three months before we can start seeing cavities."
Dr. Michael Gabriel of Gabriel Pediatrics, a Staten Island Pediatric Care Center affirms that practicing good dental hygiene is extremely important. "Because infants can develop cavities, it is vital that parents starting bringing their children to regular dentist appointments as young as a year old and keep the visits consistent," he says. "The earlier children learn about flossing and brushing, the less resistant they will become to it as they grow. Not only does it help with the overall health of our children but it also enables them each child to develop strong self-esteem."
Gabriel Pediatrics provides comprehensive pediatric care to children throughout the New York area with practices both in Brooklyn and Staten Island. Our board certified pediatricians and experienced staff help provide a very warm and nurturing environment for both you and your children. Our approach combines the latest treatment methods with the personal attention you should expect from your doctor. Simply put, we understand the importance of communication and trust and we are earning that trust one family at a time.

- Axminster Folding Router Table Kit
For those with limited space in the workshop or for use on site, this folding, compact router table will be particularly convenient. The principal feature is the folding stand made from heavy gauge steel section with a black powder coated finish. The rear leg assembly opens to form a rigid 'A' frame that will close flat. The router table top can also be turned so that it folds flat against the frame with the result that the complete table can be stored against a wall taking up the barest minimum of space in a smaller workshop. The router table, complete with a phenolic resin insert plate with two rings, measures 604 x 400mm and is screwed directly to the folding stand. Standard 19mm aluminium 'T' track is fitted into the table top for an optional mitre gauge. The fence is made from a rigid steel back plate and uses a pair of aluminium alloy 'T' tracks incorporating metric scales meaning that it can be precisely located on the table surface. A pair of adjustable extruded aluminium in and out-feed fences can be opened and closed allowing various width cutters to be used as well as optional feather boards that could be fitted on each side. A clear plastic safety shield is included as well as a 37mm extraction port at the rear that has an additional 63mm adaptor.

All okThe table is very nice and solid, fit the Bosch drill in 1400 to sacrifice a hole for driving near the yellow circle, otherwise you can not mount the rest all right!!!
10 August 2016
Perfect compared to cost, size and weight.Other Review had some comments about instructions and the magnets that wasnet mounted under the adjustments screws for the router plate. These things was not the case for me. When i got my table the other day the magnets was installed and I got an instruction in every box so it was very easy to assemble and see what goes where. The table is sturdy and feels very safe to work on. Only negative ting I have found so far is that the edges of the table and aluminium parts are pretty Sharp and need some sanding. Value and Quality 5 stars!
24 May 2016
ALMOST PERFECTSomeone obviously listened to previous reviewers magnets fitted to the table I recently received which I must say is of excellent quality. Fence arrangement is spot on and came completely pre built which seeing I was expecting a bag of bits is definitely a bonus. The main frame is only 6 bolts but I concur with what others have said with regard to instructions and I think a larger exploded drawing would be all thats required in this instance. My only gripe and lack of a full 5 stars is the absence of an NVR switch which I purchased seperately , the twenty odd quid model with socket again from axminster soon sorted this out and having used it several times since purchase this is a worthwhile investment by any standards.
24 May 2016
ALMOST PERFECTWell someones obviously been listening to the previous reviewers, magnets pre-fitted when my recent order was delivered. Excellent quality in my opinion, nice fence well

Missing marts, mystery magnets and missing instuctionsJust assembled the table having bought it 10 days ago, found that the "clear plastic safety shield" the "additional 63mm adaptor" for the extraction port were both missing hence low quality score. I was perplexed at the four 8mm rare-earth magnets, grub screws and Allen key until I read the review above. As for having to drill a holes in the MDF and push-fit the magnets into the MDF that's pretty poor given pilot holes were drilled for the fixing the brackets to the underside of the table. Come on Axminister a bit of attention to detail would have eliminated these issues. QA at the manufacturer needs to be reviewed to solve issue of missing parts none of the boxes showed signs of having been opened yet the parts were missing. On the subject of assembly instructions it would not have taken someone at Axminster long to do very much better. Three copies of the instructions were enclosed, one in each box. It not beyond the wit of man to revise these to include a better exploded diagram (1) ome straight forward assembly instructions (2) and tips for mounting the Router (3). Overall I think it will function well, but Axminster could do much better with minimal extra effort

Saturday was a bit of a Norman Rockwell kind of day in downtown Escondido.
There was an old-time feeling with classic cars parked along Grand Avenue for the sixth annual Jingle Bell Cruise, horse-drawn carriages providing free rides, Christmas songs coming over the downtown sound system and from the enthusiastic voices of carolers, Santa Claus posing for photographs with youngsters and free hot cider and hot chocolate being handed out to passersby.
All that was missing was the snow, and that showed up a couple of hours later when the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, dumped about 10 tons of the white stuff on its lawn.
It was as close to a winter wonderland as you can probably get in these parts, especially on a sunny 70-degree day. It provided a nice kickoff to the holiday season.
Steve Waldron was happy about the nice turnout for the Jingle Bell Cruise, with perhaps 120 cars participating and maybe 3,000 people checking them out.
"We had a great turnout. There was a line waiting to talk to Santa all day long," said Waldron, coordinator of the cruise.
There were some pretty nice "sleighs" parked along the street, some decorated for the season. Five winners received glass trophies, including "Santa's Top Sled," a 1970 Ford Ranchero, owned by Patty and Dave Maxwell of Temecula.
Other prizes awarded were: Mrs. Claus' Sweetest Ride, a 1935 Ford owned by Ken and Merleen Magers of Escondido; Frosty's Pick for Coolest Paint Job, a 1939 Pontiac owned by Tracy Dowler of Escondido; The Grinch's Wildest Wheels, a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe, owned by Lamar and Barbara Rozsa of Escondido; and The Elves' Pick for Best Detailing, a 1935 Chevy Bel Air, owned by Jerry and Barb Fleming of Vista.
A sunny feeling: Also basking in the pleasant sunshine of the weekend were Kiwanis Club of San Marcos members organizing the city's Holiday Parade. Rain plagued the last two parades. Not so Sunday, reports parade co-chairwoman Carrie Clevers.
"By 8 a.m. I had peeled off four layers of coats and my boots. You learn with the parade, being out there at 6 a.m., to layer clothes. Happily, we didn't need all those layers," she said.
Winning the Sweepstakes Award as best overall entry was Padres Unidos, which converted a flatbed into a motorized sleigh. Other winners: Governor's Trophy —— San Diego Miata Club; Mayor's Trophy —— Valley Bible Church; Founder's Trophy —— Ballet Folklorico; Kiwanis Trophy —— Panorama Teen and Family Resource Center; Holiday Spirit Award —— Vallecitos Spurs and Gymkhana; and Best Equestrian —— Charros la Esperanza.

Had this projector for less than a day. Scart connection wouldn't work so returned as faulty. Large projector compared to recent mainstream makes. Quality of image poor with blury edges. Doesn't stop there! Visualtronic who sell the projector are a nightmare to communicate with. They don't reply to emails and if you are lucky enough to get a reply it will be days later. Orders are sent out late (not next day)..more like next month! Communication by phone is rushed and very impersonal. I just hope the refund process won't be a nightmare too. I won't hold my breath!
Just a little extra to pay and you get a much better projector but maybe fewer types of connection. You can always get round this with adaptors.

Summer always ends the same way in New York. Each August the U.S. Open rolls into town to showcase the best and brightest tennis talent and to signify the end of the Grand Slam season. There are plenty of upsets, inspirational moments, and panoramic views of New York City to keep you captivated for two whole weeks. This year is even more special though because there's also the possibility of witnessing history being made.
Whether you watch tennis or not, Serena Williams has become a household name over the past decade. She has grown as a person, a tennis player, and a major sports star over the last fifteen plus years, and we have had the pleasure of getting to watch her through it all. She may make history this Open tournament by clinching her 28th Grand Slam title and winning all four of the Grand Slams this year (Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open and U.S. Open).
We ladies can learn a lot from the resiliency of this incredible athlete, both on and off the court.
To be honest, Serena was not my first athlete inspiration. Back in 2006 I attended the U.S. Open for the first time and sat in awe as I watched Maria Sharapova dominate in the 2nd round (she went on to win the Open that year). I had never been interested in tennis, but suddenly I was hooked. I received a racket and lessons for my 15th birthday and went on to make my high school's tennis team (and win the league championship) in my junior and senior years. I admired Maria, not for all the conventional reasons that the media has seemingly latched onto, but rather because I saw much of myself as an athlete in her. I have always been a somewhat emotionless competitor; whether I'm winning or losing, in pain or feeling great, my demeanor never changes. I'm fairly stoic and calm, even in the toughest of moments, which got me mistakenly labeled as indifferent and passionless about the game. In that first tennis match I ever watched, I saw a person who shared many of the same competitive qualities as me, so I have always looked up to her as an athlete.
image via articles.chicagotribune.com
That being said, Serena is my athletic opposite. She wears her passion and emotion on her sleeve, and within five minutes of watching her play, it's clear just how devoted and invested in each match she is. This behavior has led her to be on the receiving end of some less than favorable media attention (along with lots of other hurtful and derogatory remarks), but I think that her conduct on the court is really why she's so incredible in the first place.
Serena is unafraid to be who she is, as a person and as a player, both on and off the court. She is unapologetic for her open displays of emotion, and, honestly, she doesn't need to be.
She is unquestionably the best tennis player in the world, so that should pretty much give her a free pass from negative media attention. Despite the #1 ranking, she has spent most of her career fielding hurtful press commentary and greater criticism than her counterparts. In light of a sport that has consistently told her no, whether from fans hurling racial slurs or tennis aficionados remarking on how different she is from traditional tennis players, she is now the most accomplished female player and second highest paid female athlete in the world. If that doesn't show some perseverance, I'm not sure what does.
Whether you're an athlete or not, we've all faced criticism at some point in our lives. We've all been told we don't fit in or we're not what someone is looking for or we're too much of something and not enough of something else. In those moments, when we feel like it would just be easier to stop trying to achieve the goals that we have, we can look toward Serena for some guidance. We can reflect on her accomplishments and know that we, too, can be great, even when people tell us that we shouldn't be. We all have so much to offer the world, in so many different ways. We truly need to block out the haters, go after that which we are most passionate about, and channel our inner-Serena.
So girls, get out there, blaze trails, be unashamed to be you, and make history!
Let's chat!
Have you been watching the Open? Who are you rooting for? Who inspires you to never give up? Tell us below!

A Burnley dancer is set to wow the judges on a top TV talent show with her red hot dance group.
Stephanie Morville (24) will get pulses racing when Crazy Rouge appear on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The eight-strong burlesque group model themselves on classic French dancers from Moulin Rouge – but with a modern twist.
Stephanie and fellow dancers put on a jaw-dropping debut show on the hit ITV talent contest which airs tonight at 7-15pm.
Judge Simon Cowell is left "wide-eyed" as Stephanie and the girls strut their stuff to Escala's "Feeling Good".
The racy performance, which sees the girls appear in glittery "nude illusion" outfits, also impresses fellow judges Amanda Holden and David Walliams.
Mr Walliams took to Twitter ahead of the show to say: "I said something very rude to Simon Cowell after sexy dance group Crazy Rouge's audition on BGT. I hope it has been left in the show."
Viewers will have to wait and see how Stephanie and Crazy Rouge get on in the audition on tonight's show on ITV1.
The winner of Britain's Got Talent will go on to appear for the Queen at the Royal Variety Show later this year.

I just noticed his favorite scent is cookies in the oven. I'm liking him even more now.:lol
He is another favorite, and he is my daughter's favorite, she loves the show and this is the first time she has picked a favorite before the show. She wants to be an astronaut too so that did it for her.
Although I happen to think the space program is an extraordinary waste of our country's money, he's my pre-show favorite, for the shear fact that he lives 25 minutes away from me.
Who was the last "Old Dude" to do well? Rudy in S1?
The last couple of Old Dudes looks very promising, but fizzed out rather sadly.
I've worked with Dan before - he's a nice guy and so smart that he's just a little left of center. A couple things that come to mind: his socks never matched and he never used capitals in his emails. He's a good team player so hopefully he can go far (and not do anything to embarrass the space program in the process!!).
The token old guy this year looks great on paper...obviously smart,a hero(what astronaut isn't a hero?)and all those awards!unfortunately,he won't last,which I hate to say because I am looking forward to watching him.
Banana yellow shirt screaming "get me outta this maroon shirt", and a red cap...nuf said, next!
OK, could he BE any whiter?
I like Dan..I hope he does really well and I think he will as long as he pulls his weight and doesn't flounder on the challenges.He appears to be in really good shape as well.I worry about his skin though,he is going to burn like a french fry out there.

The Environmental Defense Fund commissioned the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation to profile the potential for clean energy investments in Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles Solar and Efficiency Report (LASER): An Atlas of Investment Potential is multi-faceted. The LASER Atlas begins with this particular profile of clean energy investment potential at the county level. Other profiles that comprise the LASER Atlas are at the sub-regional level.
This county level overview is designed to help community stakeholders identify areas of high potential for solar energy and the benefits of green economic investment. These benefits include capitalizing on incoming state and local funding while creating jobs and building community resilience to current environmental health and energy threats that climate change will exacerbate.
Importance of Project
This project is timely because of new state funding opportunities that could benefit communities throughout Los Angeles County. The maps identify disadvantaged communities that could be prioritized for funding from cap-and-trade auction proceeds (in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund) per Senate Bill 535 (de León). In addition, Proposition 39 will result in $2.5 billion to improve energy efficiency and expand clean energy generation.
A Hotter Region
The map below illustrates "Mid-Century Warming in the Los Angeles Region." This is the first study to provide specific climate-change projections for the greater Los Angeles area, with unique projections down to the neighborhood level.
The study looked at the years 2041–60 to predict the average temperature change by mid-century. Southern Californians should expect slightly warmer winters and springs but much warmer summers and falls, with more frequent heat waves. The map shows that climate change will cause temperatures in the Los Angeles region to rise by an average of 4-5°F by the middle of this century. 2
All areas across the Los Angeles region will experience warming in the coming mid-century but an important aspect of this study is that it shows where different areas will experience different degrees of warming. According to the study, coastal areas like Santa Monica and Long Beach are likely to warm an average of 3 to 4 degrees, with other areas experiencing more warming. The study predicts a likely tripling in the number of extremely hot days in the downtown area and quadrupling the number in the valleys and at high elevations.
Adapting to a changing climate and building resiliency will be inevitable in the Los Angeles region.
- Higher temperatures will increase the importance of energy efficient buildings. Conservation and improved energy efficiency—with higher performing heating, ventilating and cooling systems, efficient lighting, etc.—will reduce the demand for energy, thus saving money for residents, owners and taxpayers. Producing solar energy on rooftops as well as retrofitting roofs to reflect sunlight (cool roofs), can also reduce electricity bills, while reducing emissions that contribute to climate change.
- Municipal buildings can serve as cooling centers. This will be important because without this and other planning measures in place, hospitals will likely see an increase in patients suffering from heat stroke and heat exhaustion, as well as smog-related respiratory effects. Air quality is profoundly affected by higher temperatures because heat increases ozone smog formation. Ozone is a known lung irritant associated with asthma attacks, pneumonia and other respiratory diseases.
- Green spaces and trees reduce the heat island effect caused by buildings and streets, and provide a place for people to cool off. Transit provides transportation access to parks, medical care and other services that can improve community resiliency to climate change.

Amanda Knox Verdict: Daily Mail Publishes 'Guilty' Verdict on Website (PHOTO)
Amanda Knox was found not guilty of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher, but the Daily Mail seemed to be anticipating a different outcome, as the British publication published a headline on the main page of its website Monday that read: "Guilty: Amanda Knox looks stunned as appeal against murder conviction is rejected."
The slip-up was caught by The Guardian journalist, Simon Ricketts, who posted a screenshot on Twitter. The link Ricketts shares, however, directs to a website owned by Malcolm Coles, who documents the Daily Mail's "hugely embarrassing" story on Amanda Knox being found guilty.
Several other tweeters picked up on the mistake and did not hesitate to take the Daily Mail to task.
Twitter user Abby McLachlan even referred to the newspaper as the "Daily Fail."
Other Twitter users were just as harsh.
Twitter user, @Suw tweeted: "So, Daily Mail, is Amanda Knox guilty or innocent? Aaah quality journalism."
@steelymax tweeted, "Further proof the Daily Mail is living in another reality."
@Gr3ant sarcastically tweeted, "#Knox is innocent. Except in the Daily Mail."
But @itsourhai was a little more sympathetic, when she tweeted: "Oh Daily Mail, I'm embarrassed for you."
The verdict was read today at approximately 4 p.m. EDT. Knox and her former boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering Kercher in 2007.
Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison and Sollecito was handed 25 years. Rudy Guede, an Ivorian-born Italian citizen, was also found guilty of the murder. They all denied wrongdoing, CBSNews.com reported.
Today, Knox and Sollecito were both acquitted of the murder charges. Knox had given a heartfelt plea in fluent Italian, which she has learned over the last four years of being locked up in Italian prison. The case had been covered in depth by cable news television in the U.S. and has been of tremendous interest in Europe.
Headline News reported that Knox's passport might have expired during her time in prison and she will have to wait to get a new one before being able to leave Italy.
Guede chose a separate, "fast-track" trial, according to The Telegraph, and was sentenced to 30 years, but received 16 years after appeals. He has claimed to be innocent, but was convicted on DNA evidence.
Guede said that after hearing screams while in the bathroom, he rushed out to see what happened, only to be pushed aside by a knife-wielding Italian man who fled the scene. When Guede saw that Kercher had been attacked, he panicked and fled across the border to Germany.
He described the scene he came across in chilling terms, The Telegraph reported. "When I closed my eyes, I could only see red," Guede said. "I have never seen so much blood. All of that blood on her beautiful face."

Rhys Priestland has sent a SOS to Wales goal-kicking guru Neil Jenkins after struggling in Glasgow last weekend.
The Wales play-maker missed three attempts at goal during Scarlets 18-13 RaboDirect Pro12 victory in Glasgow.
One was from short-range but the league table-toppers insist they will stick with Priestland as their first-choice marksman despite him missing 86% of his shots at Scotstoun.
"I want the outside-half to be the kicker of the team," said Scarlets backs coach Mark Jones.
He revealed Priestland has consulted goal-kicking legend Jenkins in an effort to up his strike rate.
"I know Rhys has already spoken to 'Jenks' about his kicking," said former Wales wing Jones.
"I think Rhys sees him a lot and speaks to him in his own time."
Priestland was removed from Wales goal-kicking duties by coach Warren Gatland during last season's Six Nations Championship because of a disappointing strike-rate in the tournament opener against Ireland in Dublin.
Leigh Halfpenny took over and proved unflappable as they raced to a Grand Slam.
But Jones was adamant the Scarlets wouldn't follow suit and give up on Priestland as a goal-kicker.
They stuck with the 25-year-old during a tight encounter with Glasgow despite Jones acknowledging: "A 14% kicking success rate is a worry but Rhys has already started on putting that right.
"We saw a lot of good stuff from Rhys in the game.
"I was keen to let him stay out there and develop. He wasn't having a bad game outside the kicking.
"We didn't take the kicking off him and we are confident he will get better for it.
"It was only right and proper we let the Wales outside-half battle on and kick during the game."
Jenkins can only spend limited time working with Priestland because of his other commitments with the WRU.
"Jenks is only available so much. Sometimes we see him once a month or, at other times, twice a week," said Jones.
"But Jenks is a good professional guy and would have read the reports. He would have been straight on the telephone.
"Rhys has regularly worked with Jenks. We will have some conversations, which can only help Rhys get better."
"He has worked really hard – he puts a great focus on it."
Jones said the Scarlets were considering appointing a specialist kicking coach.
And he added: "I am committed to developing all the players so they are ready when they go to international rugby. We need to turn out well-rounded players.
"Rhys is the No1 kicker on the field at the moment. He will take the first kick at goal.
"It's only right Rhys is our No10 and we give him game-time ahead of Europe.
"He was No10 last season when Wales reached the semi-finals of the World Cup and won the Six Nations.
"Rhys needs to keep playing. From my experience of Rhys, he gains confidence and plays better when he appears regularly. We want to play him into form."
Scarlets are short of other goal-kicking options when Priestland is at outside-half.
Their other experienced goal-kicker, Aled Thomas, is also a No10 while youngster Jordan Williams, who can play at full-back, or winger Kristian Phillips aren't assured of starting slots.
Livewire full-back Liam Williams has stuck up a hand, telling Jones he used to be a goal-kicker and practising at training.
The unbeaten Scarlets bid to make it three wins on the trot when they face Connacht in Galway next Saturday.
They demolished Heineken Cup kings Leinster 45-20 in their opener and followed it up by grinding out victory over Glasgow but are looking to take another step forward against the Irish province.
"There's definitely room for improvement," declared Jones.

I'm puzzled. I was driving North up the M6 earlier about 2 miles south of Lancaster services and there was 2 bikes (one was a giant) strapped together including bike rack.
Now the driver clearly doesn't realise the bikes aren't there as he/she wasn't parked up on the hard shoulder walking back for them. But a motorist in a passat estate with 2 mtbs on his roof pulled over presuming to clear the mess to the hard shoulder and look after them until the owner turns up.
Luckily it was about 7 am and a quiet stretch of motorway otherwise the situation could of been very different.
The thing that puzzles me is that expensive bikes held in place with a crap method of restraint. If your car is too small then get the roof or towbar option or be safe and put it inside if size of car allows. But as for the boot track option why not save weight and drag by removing the wheels instead of being lazy and risking other people's lives and property by cutting corners.
Maybe even pulling over every so often checking the security of the bike and rack.
Rant over. If you're the passat driver or the owner of the bikes maybe you could add to this.

Kim Cattrall has confessed it's taken a lifetime of weight watching and exercise to look as good as she does at 56. *Sigh*. The Sex And The City actress told Woman & Home magazine, "I joke that I've been on a diet since 1974, which is basically true."
The star said, "I like to eat, and my body type is not naturally this thin, especially at this age. I have a big appetite." However, she admitted she hopes that working out every other day and minimising stress will allow her to keep playing sexy characters.
We're not sure about you but a 40-year-long diet doesn't sound like much fun, even if it does mean growing old gracefully a la Ms Cattrall.
The blonde bombshell also said she thought the days of raunchy roles were over when she reached middle age. "When I hit my 40s I thought, 'I can't play a sexy siren any more.' Almost 20 years later, it's still going on."
The May issue of Woman & Home is out now.

A new artwork has appeared on the wall where the Banksy's "Slave Labour" was painted until it disappeared last summer.
The new work, which features a cut-out style line around the space where the Banksy was, appeared on the wall of the Poundland in Wood Green yesterday.
The new graffiti does not have a name on it, but is suspected to be by the street artist Mobstr, who features the piece on his website.
Banksy's mural, which controversially vanished, seemed to criticize the existence of low-wage work in light of the Queen's golden jubilee celebrations.
It was sold at auction for more than £750,000.

AUSTIN — West Texas Democrats don't consider Lubbock County Judge Tom Head to be God's gift to their party, but it comes close.
Since Head, a Republican, made his well-publicized comments that the county must be prepared for civil war if President Barack Obama is re-elected on Nov. 6, some West Texas Democrats have said the controversy he created is helping their party gain ground in the region, the reddest in the state.
"Obviously it was embarrassing," said Lubbock County Democratic Party Chairman Kenny Ketner. "But his comments have certainly helped our party because we have moderate Republicans scratching their heads wondering how people like Tom Head get elected."
Equally important, the party has been getting contributions from even outside the state, Ketner said.
So now, with more certainty than when he succeeded former chairwoman Pam Brink on May 29, he is confident that, starting with the 2014 election, his party will recruit strong candidates for all legislative races in the Texas Panhandle and the South Plains, Ketner said.
Yet, Ketner is the first to acknowledge that a good number of West Texans may be skeptical that the Democratic Party can rebound in the region in such a short period of time.
"I hear that all the time," Ketner said when reminded that his most recent predecessors used to say the party would recruit strong Democratic candidates for legislative seats but — with few exceptions — couldn't do it.
"But this time we'll convince the skeptics because we'll be able to recruit candidates who can win," he emphasized.
Former Potter County Democratic Party Chairman Abel Bosquez, who is running against Amarillo's GOP Rep. Four Price — a rematch of 2010 when Price defeated him in what was then an open seat — said that although he is not sure his party can rebound so quickly, its long range future looks promising.
"The demographics are in our favor," Bosquez said, alluding to the fact that in West Texas, like in the rest of the state, the Hispanic population is rapidly growing, and most Hispanics vote Democratic.
Nonetheless, Head's comments were welcome news for West Texas Democrats because in the Texas Panhandle, just like in the South Plains, more and more voters want a choice, not a referendum on Republicans, Bosquez said.
Currently, "the reason we can't find candidates is because we can't raise the money to run a viable campaign," he said.
But if Head's comments keep helping the party raise money, it'll be a different story in 2014 and thereafter, Ketner and Brink said.
"I think some people in Lubbock and everywhere in West Texas are fed up with people like Tom Head and they'll be looking for an alternative," Brink said last week. "We are the alternative and we're going to prove it with strong candidates."
Ketner said he and other Democrats are already working on identifying solid candidates and the place to start is in House District 84, which freshman Rep. John Frullo, R-Lubbock, represents.
"I think John Frullo is the weakest of all the legislators from our area," Ketner said. "Although he hasn't said or done anything controversial, he hasn't passed any meaningful legislation."
Frullo, who dismissed Ketner's criticism of his legislative record and stressed he passed eight bills in last year's session, said he would welcome any Democratic opponent.
"On the last election I received 68 percent of the vote," Frullo said in reference to two years ago when he defeated his Democratic opponent, former Lubbock teacher Carol Morgan. Frullo also defeated former Texas Tech Regent Mark Griffin in that year's Republican primary runoff, though by a smaller margin.
"I am taking one election at a time," said Frullo who is only facing one opponent this year, Green Party Candidate Leann Lamb-Vines.
Like Frullo, Price of Amarillo said he welcomes a Democratic opponent because a contested race makes him not only a better candidate but a better legislator.
"You connect with the voters and you hear the issues that are important to your constituents," Price said.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - BlizzCon Q&A
Incgamers has a new Q&A with Blizzzard from this years BlizzCon 2013 with more information about Diablo III: Reaper of Souls.
I really enjoy the game but I have one issue, no offline mode. When are we going to get it?
When we decided to designed Diablo 3, we feel, and seeing all you out here, Diablo plays best when you;re playing with your friends. When you have access to this aesome community that is Blizzard. This is why we have BlizzCon. We felt is was really important we have that social connection. for you to be able to have access to your friends list. It also alloed us to make sure you characters were stored. It was important for us to satisfy that social aspect of the game.
In fact we're adding more multiplayer features, groups and clans were teased in the trailer there so those are coming as well. That's a feature that being online makes it even better. Even more so than the rich join and drop co-op that's already out there.
With the closure of the auction house and everybody buying and selling gold, what are you plan on doing to effect the flood of gold that's going to come onto the market just before the auction house closes?
We have a number of new gold sinks coming and the gameplay panel tomorrow is going to go into them very specifically. One of the big ones is enchanting , Transmogrify is not a major gold sink, but enchanting is the system that allows you to re-roll the stat on your item to make it better for yourself. That's a smart drop goal as well so it's very likely to be good for your character and you can see all the potential things you can roll. So that's a major thing. We've got new and better blacksmith recipes coming, also smart drops so when they do roll they're much more likely to be better.
Those are just a couple of the features for gold sink so we do intend find ways to get some gold out of the economy. We don't want to have to make it so that if you're not one of the people with 40 billion gold you can't participate it that. People with 40 billion will pull the slot machine a little more often. Ultimately gold is not going to be as big of a delta factor for character power as it has been for when the auction house was live.
