A RAIL firm has teamed up with the Hartlepool Mail to search for a community champion.
Grand Central Rail, which operates rail services from the North-East including Hartlepool, to London, has launched the Grand Central Heart of the Community Awards.
They recognise those people that have made contributions to the communities along the rail provider's routes.
Those heroes could be from any walk of life, whether it's raising money for good causes or volunteering for a local initiative.
Teaming up with the Hartlepool Mail, Grand Central is calling on the people of Hartlepool to nominate their unsung heroes.
And anyone who has a favourite that they would like to put forward has around four weeks to come forward.
The entries will be judged by Hartlepool Mail editor Joy Yates and Grand Central and the winner will receive a fantastic prize.
They can look forward to a pair of return train tickets to London as well as the chance to attend an awards ceremony along with other regional winners.
One winner along the North East Route will be selected at the awards ceremony to receive an overnight trip for four to London as well as a £500 donation from Grand Central, which will go to the charity of their choice.
Sean English, who is the general manager at Grand Central, said: "At Grand Central Rail, we pride ourselves on the close links we have with the communities along our routes. As the community rail company, we wanted to recognise those that have an impact on these localities and highlight those that, very often completely under the radar, are making a difference."
Mr English added: "We are thrilled to announce our Heart of the Community Awards and look forward to discovering and rewarding those who are dedicated to bettering their local area."
Entrants can email their nominations along with their name, age, telephone number and address to email@example.com using the title header Hartlepool Heart of the Community Awards.
An entry form can be downloaded here.
The competition closes on Monday, July 14, and the winners will be selected by Monday, August 11. Terms and conditions can be found on the Grand Central Rail website at www.grandcentralrail.com.

you have to ensure that your machine is a master and that you have
registered servers to be targets.
Right click sql server agent -- Multi Server Administration -- Make this a master.
During this process you will be asked to create a MSX operator. and to enlist targets. the targets will need to be pre-registered with your master's instance and then define the jobs on the master and then you will be able to target multiple servers.
understand that this process is designed to return all job history to the master so you can check the progress of job operations from one place. however, just as with the highlander, there can be only one..... meaning that a target cannot be a master for other servers.
and dont forget to check books online,

Gospel 10: John 21:1-4
Epistle: Acts 20:16-18, 28-36
Gospel: John 17:1-13
Mysterious are His ways
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways" (Is. 55:8-9).
God is not only benevolent. He is also wise. He not only acts with love for mankind. He acts wisely as well. He combines His love for mankind with His wisdom. When both of these are accordance with each other, that is when He answers or does not answer our prayers. (The devil, the ruler of the world" (Jn. 16:11) operates in the exact opposite manner. He uses his evil and his hatred to a ack Mankind in an a empt to trap people and to lead them to disaster and to ruin).
The standards and criteria that God has are inscrutable and totally unknown to us. He may answer the prayers of a modest man and give no answer to someone held in high respect. His answers to our prayers are inconceivable. It is a mystery. A paradox!
A group of young men from the city of Patras visited Mt. Athos. Although swimming is not allowed on any of the beaches near Mt. Athos, they ignored the rules and went swimming. One of the young men, upon diving into the sea, was in immediate danger of drowning. About to be overwhelmed by the waves, he cried: "Christ, save me."
A sudden invisible force pulled him out of the water and onto dry land. (Afterwards this young man devoted the rest of his life to God and became a monk at Mt. Athos) Someone else might have encountered a similarly dangerous situation, have called on Christ to help him, and perished with his prayer left unanswered.
Christian Orthodox Prayer, by Rev. Vassilios Bakoyiannis, p.128-129
1. APOLYTIKION OF THE ASCENSION (Tone 4)
You ascended in Glory, O Christ our God
and gladden Your disciples
by the promise of the Holy Spirit
Your blessing assured them that You are the
Son of God, the Redeemer of the world.
2. RESURRECTION APOLYTIKION (Tone 6)
When the angelic powers were at your tomb,
then they that guarded You become as dead.
And Mary stood beside the grave seeking Your

O Lord, Who are risen from the dead, glory to You.

Today is the beginning of our salvation,
and the revelation of the mystery of ages.
The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin.
And Gabriel proclaims this gift from God.

O Theotokos: "Hail thou full of grace,
the Lord is with you."
5. KONTAKION OF THE ASCENSION (Tone Plagal of the Second)
When Thou hadst fulfilled Thy dispensation
for our sakes, uniting things on earth with the

crying unto them that love Thee:
I am with you and no one can be a against you.

Federal Government Should Leave Transportation Infrastructure to the States
June 20, 2011
For two principal reasons, the federal government should fund no transportation infrastructure at all, says Gabriel Roth, a research fellow at the Independent Institute, in testimony to the United States Senate Committee on Finance.
The first reason is that, in these times of financial stringency, government should not finance facilities for which users themselves could pay if they wished to cover the costs.
- For example, those wanting railroads should cover the costs themselves, and those wanting roads should pay more into the dedicated funds that support them.
- The U.S. air, railroad and road sectors have a long "user pays" tradition, and the current financial deficits require that this tradition be restored.
- Government funding for interurban travel can be eliminated for this reason alone.
The second reason is that federal payments currently support local services, such as mass transit and other projects, to promote an undefined concept of "liveability."
- Such payments are not appropriate for federal funding.
- If local services are to be subsidized, it would be better for the funds to be raised from the localities that demand them.
These considerations do not apply to appropriations from the federal Highway Trust Fund, which receives dedicated revenues from road users, and has no claims on general revenues. Highway Trust Fund revenues could be increased by raising the dedicated federal fuel taxes but, because conditions vary from state to state, and because of the waste involved in the federal financing of state roads, it would be preferable to meet road funding shortages by raising state charges. States are in a better position than the federal government to reform the current systems of owning, funding and managing highways, says Roth.
Abolition of federal financing is likely to encourage state and private sector funding, and successful reforms pioneered by some states could quickly be replicated in others.

Unanswered: Invalid Object Name 'ctsv_####...'
DB Gurus,
I have a VB 6 utility that is using ADO to connect to replicated tables and I get the following error when I try to update the recordset:
Invalid Object Name 'ctsv_18C3929C22....'
This code worked great until the team that owns one of our SQL servers decided to turn of Replication. After getting replication back up and running, we set up a push subscription rather than a pull as before.
The util is running against the subscriber's tables...not the source tables.
What the heck have I gotten into here?
What does ctsv mean?

The Edna and Earl Yoder Family
"We wanted to give something back that would be especially meaningful to them."
Iowa City, Iowa
For years Edna and Earl Yoder of Iowa City have been like family to Hawkeye football players.
"My parents have been mentors and friends for hundreds of Hawkeye football players," says the Yoders' daughter, Jeanne Auen (1992 M.A.) of Drakesville, Iowa. "My mom and dad still get Mother's Day and Father's Day cards from players from long ago."
Because of the Yoders' warm personal connection to Iowa football—and the many other ways that Earl and Edna have shown their loyalty and dedication to The University of Iowa—their family created the Edna and Earl Yoder Football Scholarship in their honor.
Jeanne and her husband, Stephen Auen (1978 B.A., 1982 M.A., 1990 Ph.D.), joined with another of the Yoders' daughters, Barbara King of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and her husband, Randall, to pay tribute to the Yoders' generosity of spirit, time, and financial resources.
"My parents have always done so much for the UI and so much for us," Jeanne explained. "We wanted to give something back that would be especially meaningful to them."
Earl is the president of Iowa City Ready Mix and Earl Yoder Construction company. He has a long history of civic involvement, including at the UI. Among other accomplishments, he was co-chair of the Hawkeye Horizons Campaign in the early 1990s, is a Lifetime Honorary Director of the UI Foundation, and is a charter member of the Kinnick Society. He was named Hawk of the Year in 1985 and received the Distinguished Friend of the University Award from the UI Alumni Association in 1997.
The Hawkeyes have always been close to the Yoders' hearts. And now, thanks to their family's thoughtfulness, their name will be forever linked to athletic excellence at Iowa.

November 2016 Membership Meeting: An Event NOT to be Missed
An Event NOT to be Missed
Register for Nov. 12
I hope you're already planning to join me and other health care activists from around the state for our Nov. 12 HCAO Membership Meeting. It's sure to be a must-attend event!
There's much to catch up on when it comes to health care reform these days. Just to mention a few items:
+ Several local affiliates have health care resolutions coming before their voters (Ashland, Corvallis, Eugene, Portland);
+ The HB2828 study of financing health care in Oregon is soon to be released;
+ HCAO's Board of Directors has developed an Operational Plan to guide us to victory in 2020;
+ Colorado is voting on their ColoradoCare plan;
+ Senator Merkley is co-sponsoring a bill calling for a public option in the health insurance market; and
+ Vermont has reached agreement with the federal government on a deal to overhaul Vermont's health care payment system.
In addition to these items, local affiliates will want to hear about HCAO's move to better establish and support our local groups and caucuses. We all need to be updated on the latest circumstances in the OR legislature, network with others from around our state to hear and learn about all that's going on, as we continue to move toward bringing health care to everyone. Come, be informed, inspired, and further motivated to continue our march forward!
We're gathering at the First Presbyterian Church in Corvallis (corner of 9th and Monroe) to celebrate victories, plan strategies and strengthen our movement to create universal health care in Oregon.
If you've not already registered, do so now by clicking this --
Register for Nov. 12
I look forward to welcoming you to Corvallis and sharing this inspirational event together.
Tim F. Roach, HCAO President
Nov. 12 Parking and Access
Parking: First Presbyterian Church (114 SW 8th St) has very few parking spaces in its 9th Street lot and parking on the street is only available in 2 hour increments. So our Mid-Valley hosts will be running a shuttle service for our meeting!
Drivers should deliver their passengers to the covered drive-through entrance of First Presbyterian Church (corner of SW 9th Street and Monroe Ave.). After unloading passengers, drivers will be directed to a near-by lot at Good Samaritan Episcopal Church (333 NW 35th St.), where a shuttle car will return the driver to the Presbyterian Church.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the shuttle will run in the reverse to take drivers back to their cars.
Access: All entrance into First Presbyterian should be through the doors under the cover drive-through from the 9th Street parking lot.

Building an Event Detector with Mobile Data
Cell phones' digital footprints provide glimpses of massive social events such as rock concerts and political rallies.
Companies such as Foursquare currently have a very detailed idea of their user's interests thanks to their "check-in" data. Telcos, on the other hand, although they might not count on such detailed information, they do have the upper hand when it comes to size: everyone owns a cell phone.
Rather than "check-in" transactions into different shops, Telco's have the equivalent "check-in" transactions in the form of Call Detail Records (CDR). Every time someone makes a phone call, Telcos keep a record specifying information such as origin phone number, target phone number, time of day, call duration and origin antenna location. For any data scientist, sociologist or marketer data such as this is absolute bliss!
One afternoon, at GranData Labs, we started brainstorming if it could be possible to automatically detect events such as rock concerts, soccer matches and the like. It turns out that, regardless how unpredictable we humans would like to be, we behave in quite expectable ways, specially if we consider aggregate groups of people. That is, the daily rhythm present in every antenna is quite similar to each other.
Using this fact it is possible to filter out the city's daily routine and examine all those events that deviate from the norm. Such unexpected events are when the city truly comes alive, all those moments people take a break from their regular behavior and do something different. However, how do we define what constitutes an "unusual" event? How might we know if it even makes sense?
For starters, to analyze each antenna's activity we need to preprocess the original CDR data from something like {origin_phone, target_phone, time, call_duration, antenna_id} into something like {antenna_id,timeslot, number_of_calls}. Figure 1 represents the hourly number of calls for different antennas in a period of three months starting in January 2012. Notice the city's rhythm, rising up in the morning, a peak of activity around noon, another during the afternoon and then cooling up at night. Furthermore, there is a clear difference between weeks and weekends (In fact, the higher the difference, the more work centric the place tends to be. But that is a whole different subject!).
Once we have every antenna's activity it is necessary to define some sort of index that filters out routine from unexpected activity. This can be done by subtracting the average antenna's weekly activity. Figure 2 represents our "Event Index" value for the same antennas. Notice how clear activity peaks appear, therefore making it easy to filter unusual events from the daily routine.
Having defined our "Event Index" it is now possible to pinpoint events according to a given threshold. After selecting events with the highest combined score we tried to verify if these events actually made sense.
Truth be told, the road from idea to reality tends to be quite rough on data scientists. Usually, what may seem a great idea with a quick test ends up constrained by some unexpected data inadequacy, thus making it more about the preprocessing of data than the proper analysis of it. Luckily, after searching in the web the time and place of the events, we got rather interesting results. Figure 3 and Figure 4 correspond to two antenna's hourly activity and event index.
In Figure 3 one can see successive peaks occurring in March 2012. It turns out that these correspond to a series of Roger Waters concerts that took place in River Plate's Soccer Stadium, just a few meters away from the antenna's location.
In Figure 4, it is possible to distinguish a clear peak on March 24th. This antenna is located near Plaza de Mayo, the most emblematic park in Buenos Aires and the date corresponds to the date of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, hence we are looking at a political rally.
Examples such as these pinpoint to the richness of Telco's data and how it might be used in exciting new ways. Automating an event's semantics is a whole different subject, but there are alternatives that might be useful to characterize the users. One, for example, is to link different events if one user attended both events. In this way, one could construct an "Event Network" and find clusters of both events and users. Checking into an antenna at a given time conveys detailed information about a user's tastes and preferences. Eventually this might be turned into a useful new product to generate detailed user profiles. These profiles are not only useful to Telcos, but also to banks, retail and many other industries.
Any person with a trained business instinct won't take long to realize this sort of approach in processing and analyzing data is potentially a game changer. It is the equivalent difference between Blockbuster and Netflix: Telco's can move from a static business model to a dynamic informational one or risk being taken by companies that do make this transition. Although they might feel comfortable today, they are exposing themselves to potentially upcoming innovative competitors. The problem is that, just as Blockbuster realized too late in the game, Telco's might not have enough time to change once they realize they are competing against companies that were born in an information market. The sooner they start tapping the richness of their data, the fitter they will be when this time comes. As Lewis Carroll wrote, "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!".

I'm totally committed to keeping Ciao Veggie transparent when it comes to how I make money and work with brands.
Not much is happening yet because we're still very small. But as the blog gains more traffic, I'd love for it to bring in a side income to help us pay our bills, utilizing the experience I have from a career in digital media and advertising.
In pursuing this, there are many balances to strike. I am very aware of the pitfalls that blogs (and indeed mainstream media!) can fall into when they try to make money from their content. So you, the reader, and I, the blogger, need to build up some kind of understanding. Here I will be open and honest about what I am doing and why, and please tell me if any aspect of my revenue generation bothers you, ever.
I allow display advertising to run on the site. You probably noticed 🙂 I am with Mode Media and Gourmet Ads. I place codes on my website and they do the rest, so I don't know who is going to be advertising on a given day.
I use affiliate links on this blog. This means that if I share links to products or services, and you decide to purchase or sign up, if that company has an affiliate program I will get a commission. It will never cost you any extra as a result, the commission money comes from the company's marketing budget, it's essentially a "finder's fee".
To do this, I use SkimLinks. They have technology that scans my website and identifies links to companies and services with affiliate schemes. They automatically turn those links into affiliate links for me. I don't even know which links are affiliates or not. Some affiliate schemes I have joined deliberately, for example I'm an affiliate for Pretty Darn Cute Designs who created my blog's theme and Tailwind who I manage my Pinterest account through, because my usage of these products is clear to anyone who looks.
I hope this reassures you that when I decide what to recommend and where to link to, it has nothing to do with revenue potential. But if there's money to be made introducing customers to companies I really do recommend, I'm not going to leave it on the table.
Being a food geek, I like to talk about food products and brands which I use and love. My affinities for certain products and stores will naturally be reflected in my blog, where I often link to and recommend them. The vast majority of these are brands I discovered naturally and products I have paid for myself, and there is nothing more to it than that.
If I received a free sample of a product, I will mention that in the post. But no one has ever paid me to post anything on Ciao Veggie. I accept the samples because they help me discover new things, just like magazines and newspapers rely on free samples from PR reps to discover the best new products.
I have been sent freebies from Chobani, Sapporo and The Extra Virgin Olive Oil Company.
I have never written a sponsored post on Ciao Veggie. If I ever enter this realm, I will think long and hard about how it will work and how we'll keep things honest in the process.
I would looooove for Ciao Veggie to open doors to doing more freelance work. I have in the past created recipes for V8 UK's website and I've got another project in the pipeline which I'll tell you about soon.
You are very welcome to comment on this page and tell me how you feel about any or all of this. Every blog and every website is different and needs to find it's own way of sustaining itself. Your opinions will help me to achieve that!

Each of the major parties pounces on any possible misstep or misstatement by the other, destroying confidence and credibility in leaders and potential leaders. Without putting too fine a point on it, unless we return respect and civilty to politics, I believe that we are inficting serious harm on the future of the country.
sort by best latest
I cannot quite imagine returning to civility in politics. The new motto is, "the one who slanders first, slanders best." And with every interest group battling to hang on to its entitlements, each figures that this must mean we got to attack the other side fast and furiously--because just how that's how its done today.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
This is a great question and one that desparately needs to be answered. I belive it begins with the public sending the message they are tired of the tactics being used in politics today. The message not only needs to be sent to each of the candidates who use these tactics it must gain exposure in all media sources of information.
The media today is also part of the problem in that they highlight the missteps of political candidates forgetting that every individual makes mistakes. The focus on politics today needs to be on the issues and how one candidate's position differs from the approach of their opponent or opponents. Focusing on how a candidate will attack the problems our country faces is what the public is looking for in a candidate. Negative ads while they may get some exposure they do nothing to instill confidence in any candidate.
Approaches by candidates needs to also identify what they would do differently in specific areas where policies have failed. All this needs to presented in a civil manner. Candidates may not agree on approaches to issues of the past or issues facing our country today but they must take the attitude of agreeing to disagree. This is the kind of message the public must send candidates for all levels of government.

You are here: Beauty- Skin Health
Facing the elements
26th October, 2016
Vanessa Papas
Nothing beats feeling the warmth of the sun, chasing the wind and smelling the rain. While your mood can be positively affected by the joys of summer, environmental elements can negatively affect your skin, causing damage, dryness, and premature ageing.
"Our skin is the largest of the body's organs and has to do battle constantly to stay strong and fight the damaging forces that surround it. As the barrier between the body and the environment, it is subjected to a lot of abuse," says Marielet Janse van Rensburg, Dis‑Chem National Skin Strategy Salon Manager.
The Sun And Ultra Violet Rays
Sun lovers will confess that nothing beats being outdoors, soaking up the rays in pursuit of a glowing complexion. Sadly, our love affair isn't a two-way street.
"Ultraviolet lightfrom the sun breaks down collagen and damages the fibres in the skin, resulting in the skin sagging, stretching and losing its ability to bounce back into shape.
UV light also depresses the immune system, which may explain why some people infected with the cold sore virus are more likely to have an eruption after sunbathing.
A sunburn, or even a mild tan,indicates that your skin has been damaged. Not only is the sun responsible for premature ageing, but in extreme cases, over-exposure to the sun's rays can lead to skin cancer," says Marielet.
Cold, Hot, Dry, Windy And Wet Weather
Climate can impact your skin. Your skin loses more than 25%of its ability to hold moisture in winter, resulting in flaking, cracking, irritation and inflammation. When the chill sets in, most of us rush indoors and start cranking up the central heating, or worse, hover by the fireplace, which just increases skin dryness. Windy weather can also beat down on your skin and make it look and feel parched. A rise in the temperature can be just as detrimental – whether you're indoors or outdoors.
"Air conditioners and fans in the summer have a dehydrating effect on the skin, because they speed up the evaporation process from the surface of the body. The skin begins to lose its lustre and radiance. Fine leathery lines begin to develop and the skin may become flaky," explains Marielet.
"Once outside, there is the heat to consider, which opens up the pores on the skin. This in turn allows for increased oil secretionand thus oily skin. As a consequence, the stale oil on the skin combined with environmental dust and other pollutants can lead to blocked pores, resulting in blackheads and pimples."
Sorry to rain on your parade, but too much water on your skin isn't healthy for it either. Chlorinated water can strip skin of its natural moisture, so when having poolside fun, rinse yourself off after getting out of the pool, and don't forget to moisturise!
While we may not all live in an area known for smog, that doesn't mean the air we're exposed to is squeaky clean. Due to air pollution, the ozone quickly strips vitamin E(which indulges a healthy skin) from that topmost layer of the skin. This may cause the skin to be congested with impurities and, as a result, suffer from blemishes.
Stopping The Damage
Dis-Chem's Skin Strategy Beauty Salons offer both Laser and Biomagnetic Microdermabrasiontreatments to combat (and help reverse) environmental skin damage. Laser treatment is ideal for the maintenance of radiant healthy skin, as it improves blood circulation and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres in the skin. Because of the antibacterial characteristics, laser treatment is also very effective in the treatment of acne.
Where There's Smoke
Smoking depletes the collagen in your skin. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4 000 toxins, many of which are absorbed directly into the bloodstream and are taken by the blood into the skin's structure. Smoking also causes the blood vessels in the top layers of the skin to constrict, so thickening and reducing the oxygen levels in the blood. This also reduces the levels of collagen in the skin. Aside from premature ageing, smoking is also responsible for increased
dryness of facial skin.
A study published in the January 2009 issue of American Journal of Epidemiology suggests a link between air pollution and skin rashes. French researchers found that when air pollution levels in urban areas are higher, more individuals see doctors for complaints of skin rashes related to atopic dermatitis and eczema.

Man who shipped guns to ex-NFLer Hernandez to be sentenced
BOSTON (AP) — A man who shipped guns to former New England Patriots player and convicted killer Aaron Hernandez is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Boston.
Oscar Hernandez, no relation to Aaron, has pleaded guilty to charges including gun conspiracy and lying to a grand jury.
Oscar Hernandez shipped several guns from Florida to Aaron Hernandez in Massachusetts two months before the then-star tight end killed a man in 2013. He did not supply the murder weapon.
His lawyer says his client was awed by a celebrity and asked the judge to sentence him to 1 year and 1 day, longer than he has been in custody.
Prosecutors want a sentence of 2 years and 8 months because of the seriousness of his crimes.

Pretty much, yes.
If they didn't let Feely go (which if based on performance alone, they shouldn't) they wouldn't be able to pursue Jason Taylor. Is this a calculated move in which they prioritized the pass rush over kicking?
Beat up on the other team and you don't really need a kicker so much, and maybe we can replace him in the draft like NE did with Grotkowski.
If they weren't a final 4 team and therefore can only sign a FA if they lose one-and then to the same contract $-don't you think the Jets would have kept Feely. I mean the guy is steady, makes tackles (did you see the arms on this guy for a Kicker) and even punted for us, CLUTCH!, in the playoffs.
But the Jets, I believe, are making the Judgement to go D.......Gonna be fun to watch.
Pretty much, yes.
We do need pass rush but it won't be "fun" watching folk miss 30 yders....On a defensive team kicking and punting are vital to success.
hopefully it lets us sign Taylor
leaving the names out of it.... who wouldn't trade ANY KICKER for ANY PASS RUSHER?
Yes - without a doubt. Kudos for Tanny / Rex for having the balls to improve the team
I believe that if we did not have the "Final Four Restriction" Feely would still be the kicker for the New York Jets.
If they can get someone like Taylor or another player to help contribute and still have an adequate replacement for Feely (whether Folk returns to old form or someone else) it will end up being a positive move for the team.
As long as we don't suffer in the kicking game for this move I have no problem with it personally, and now that we know the restriction will be removed in a couple months we still have a chance at getting someone like Sharper who would definatly not sign with us or anyone for what Feely got from AZ.
In the end though if our kicking game is downgraded and struggles big time this move will be criticized heavily and rightfully so IMO. Games in the NFL are mainly decided by fewer than one score most of the time (especially in the playoffs) and being a "Ground and Pound" team that relies on our Top Defense as the formula to win, the kicking game is extremly important and can be the diffrence between a win and a loss.

Graeme Molloy forced to hang up his boots
WEXFORD inter-county footballer and last year's team captain, Graeme Molloy, has been forced to bring his inter-county career to an end.
The St. James' clubman has been forced to hang up his boots after surgeons advised him last week that his knee could not longer take the strain with being a top level footballer.
Molloy, who missed out on last year's Allianz National League campaign, as he recuperated from a knee operation, managed to get in some game time in the provincial championship along with the Qualifiers, but having played out a long season having helped his club to a first ever county senior football championship title, the strain eventually took its toll.
'I will not be lining out for my county again. I visited the surgeons last week. They told me there is nothing more they can do. I've no cartilage left in the knee, it's simply bone-on-bone.
'There's no way the knee could hold up to the intense training to compete at the top level of football.
'It's been forced on me. It's not a decision I wanted to make.'
Read his full interview in tomorrow's paper.

Michael Strong was just in The Netherlands doing a stamp show and visiting with Hetty Sanders. They made a fun video tutorial for a gatefold card using Michael's Octagon stamps. While I don't have that stamp yet I do have his Paisley set with which I made this version of the card in their video. You can see that tutorial video by visiting Michael's blog. http://www.blog.strongstamps.com/
The very first time I can remember hearing of Michael Strong was on the Gingerwood message board. The stampers were raving about seeing him on the Carol Duvall show. When I finally figured out how to see him on that show I learned about his Faux Cloisonne technique. The paisley's on this card were done using it. So fun to have come a full circle on this one!

Lexus LS 400/LS 430
nealm1 Posts: 154vcheng obviously knows a great deal more about the technology than I do. Here is what I see as the problem. When you donwload a song from a pristine, store-bought CD to the hard drive of your computer, it converts it into an mpeg (MP3) file. When you then burn that song onto a compilation CD, the data lost during the store-bought-CD-to-hard-drive process is gone for ever and cannot be restored. Therefore, the compilation CD, ripped on a computer, will never sound as good as the store-bought CD. The difference is noticeable.
I always use the 196 bit rate for downloads on my Mac, and even at this higher rate, the difference is noticeable. But since I listen to the downloaded music primarily on airlpanes, or while weazing on treadmills, excercycles, etc., the difference is not that significant.
The Mac can read all of the current MP3-like formats "on the fly," but converts them (I think) to the AAD format for use, which, I am told, is superior. Sort of like the betamax experience all over again, though Mac has been aggressive in implementing cross-platform transparancy (a lesson Sony never learned).
Now, if Lexus/ML add (a) and XM/Sirius receiver or preamp-level inputs; AND (b) an SACD reader, that would BY ITSELF motivate me to trade early.

You can store songs from a store-bought CD digitally as .wav files at a 44.1 KHz sampling rate, and not convert them to MP3 format at all. This way, there is no compression and absolutely no loss of quality. Trust me, I have done this, and with the proper software, there is no difference at all because it is a true digital copy.
You are right in that if you convert to MP3s at any point, you are likely to lose quality, especailly at lower bitrates.
JBaumgart Posts: 890My experience is that music downloaded and burned at a bit rate of 320 sounds about as good as a store-bought CD. Even at 256 there is a noticeable loss of clarity and dynamic range. I cannot tell the difference between WAV files and those stored at 320. I don't bother with anything at 192 or less.
...the MP3 files tend to be a lot bigger, in which case I just went back to plain old .wav files, which offers greater flexibility from a software point of view.
Some inks will penetrate the substrate and damage the material, personal experience.
..usually work best with the cap taken off and using the tip with ink. Its use as an engraving tool is highly dangerous to the integrity of the data especially if used on the data side of the CD.
In any case, I will surely spin out and crash in a front wheel drive car due to adverse vehicle dynamics, or crash from an intantaneously fogged windshield due to a poorly designed AC system, before losing the data on my CDs!
I assumed the particular marker pen my friend used had a high acidic content in the ink and it actually did penetrate the substrate and damaged the recorded material.
Speaking of fogged windows...
Nobody volunteered to let me experiment with their 92 LS...
Located an early delivery (11/92) private sale LS400 black/ivory, with 153,000 miles in Tucson via autotrader.
Bought it Wednesday afternoon for $6600.00.
Owner had just installed new timing belt and water pump, and cautioned that the A/C needed work and the security system was intermittent. Climate control LCD was obviously in failure mode.
A/C shop added 6 oz. of freon and no leaks detected, security system was due to a loose #5 fuse socket holder, neither of the electric radiator cooling fans are operative.
Drove 741 miles yesterday on ~30 gallons of premium, AZ speed limit is 75MPH but traffic was moving above that.
Haven't yet had a chance to explore the climate control functionality in detail but seemed to be fully functional otherwise.
Lexus records indicated an "in-service" date of 11/92, about the same time I bought my first new one. Records also indicate the car had been to Lexus service only rarely, almost never considering the mileage, but appears to be in excellent shape.
To be continued.....
..my post was in jest, and I must say that I do enjoy your posts all over Edmunds. I did put in a smiley at the end of my post.
But I wanted to be sure ALL readers took the acidic ink issue seriously.
oac3 Posts: 373I was at the dealer today changing my oil and getting the front brakes replaced. Asked a service writer AND a sales guy what's in store for '04. Here are what I gathered:
1) RX330 hybrid will debut as an '05 release, but come out about mid-year 2004.
2) The GS 3/4 redesign is due out this fall. Interesting that the two gentlemen could not agree on this issue - one said Lexus will push back on the release to '05 in order to generate more sales for the GS line, sales that are lagging quite badly. The other was emphatic that the redesign is on its way for '04. I guess we shall see.
3) The LS will definitely get a facelift for '04. Trouble is neither of these guys could agree on the magnitude of the change. None wanted to comment on a possible AWD option for '04. Hmmmm...
On a different note: I had an '03 Camry loaner, and I was appalled at the butt-ugly dashboard and especially the speedo+tach display. Just simply cheap and terrible. Whatever happened to the wonderful display and dashboard in the mid-90 versions ??? Toyota may skimp, but it is simply ludicrous to see the poor designs they are turning out in their bread-and-butter Camry's.
alpha01 Posts: 4,747I'd imagine that coming out of any Lexus, even the IS, the Camry dash/instrumentation wouldnt begin to compare. That said, there are many who like the new instrumentation, including myself. The dash itself is perhaps too American, but the instrumentation is much improved, at least over the last generation Camry- it isnt so cookie cutter looking, and benefits from white-blue lighting at night (as opposed to the dreadful swamp green that afflicted the Camry for years).
I would love for the electroluminescent gauges to trickle down eventually.... perhaps if Lexus can come with something even more astonishing for their product.
I am interested- how do current generation LS owners feel their instrumentation/dashboard appeareance, ergonmics, and quality are compared to previous models, and competing models from MB and BMW?
I recently took a look at the redesigned owners area on the corporate Lexus site, and I see that it recommends that I take my 2002 LS430 in to the dealer to have the Lexus Link reflashed for a programming change. Apparently this includes an update to the users manual.
Does anyone know what this is for, and what it entails?
On an unrelated topic, my car seems to have developed the infamous steering wheel groan on extension now that the weather is hot. If anyone knows what the TSB number is and where I can get the text for it, that will help me when I bring the car in for the fix.
I guess I'll have them do both fixes at the same time.
Is it just me, or are we missing messages here?
4135-4136 ?
They are missing as well.
flint350 Posts: 250I just replaced my front a/c filter after getting the warning light (it was actually dirty, but I think the light is timed/miles not a real "dirt" indicator). In case you do this, I discovered the way to "reset" the warning light - you replace filter, turn key on, hold climate control "OFF" button down for about 8 seconds and you will see "A/C filter reset" appear in the warning message window. Just FYI.
Where did you buy the filter -- the dealer? Just curious. I know there are several air filters in this car, and I'm hoping there is some magic online source that has them for less.
Off the top of my head, I can think of two under each front seat, one for the front AC, and one for the rear AC. There may be more that I'm not thinking of. I'll have to check my books to see how often they are supposed to be replaced. (Of course the number of filters varies depending on which options the car has.)
Test drove the 2003 LS430 ultra edition with the air and the soft aniline leather seats. The color combo was black/black, with the darker wood. It is stunning, but the misses want white.
As for the ride, the normal setting was perhaps a little less soft than the regular LS430, without the air suspension. I test drove 2 back to back. The sport mode in the ultra edition was very close to my 2001 S500's ride. The normal was noticeably better than my Mercedes, and it is close to total isolation, without having the engine closed.
I played my favorite Jazz CD on the ML for a considerable period of time, and I have to say it wasn't that much bette than the stock radio/cd.
But, the softer aniline leather in the deluxe is worth the extra bucks. 70,333 was the MSRP on this edition with everything. But it seems I could have walk out at close to 6K off. I am now unsure if I should get it now, or wait for the 2004's and take the chance that some comparable discount could be had during September. Any ideas?
Chances are that the 2004's with the body style change will be hot so I wouldn't expect much, if any discounting. It wasn't easy getting this car in our area in 2001 and it took until February to get $1-2k off. If you have the patience wait it out as the redesign looks nice. But if you want the bargain - now thru September is the best time.
Bu the way - just my 2 cents - but I like the car in black. Maybe your wife will like it with the brighter ecru interior. The black on black is too dark for me. I had it in 98 and got tired of the dark interior quickly.
It was another rainy miserable day in the northeast when we tested 3 Lexus vehicles. The Black onyx with black seats was nice even under these awful conditions. But since I am already tired of my silver/dark grey interiors of my S500, I can understand why you and my wife hates the black/black.
One thing that had me considering the black/black was that you cannot get (order) the softer aniline leather in a lighter color for the ultra edition with a white exterior. So I was told.
Go across the canadian border and order...
tdo123 Posts: 102flint350- I was a week late reading your post. I just took my car in for the 15k and mentioned that my a/c filter light had been on. They told me that in the midwest they should be changed 2 times a year, but I think it has got to be based on miles. I paid an additional $70 for the new filter and reset. Had I seen this, I would have reset for one more round and then had it changed. If the warning returned right away, I would know it was the filter and not based on miles.
I am curious as to how many of us with this option on the LS have activated it? Of those who haven't, how many, like me, are annoyed at the stupid message every time I start the car?
I do not believe the line that there is no way to shut the message off. Any ideas?
lenscap Posts: 854I attended the Lexus SUV driving event this weekend. While there, I had a chance to talk with a guy from the Lexus Midwest Regional Office. He confirmed the changes we've all heard about (front, back, bigger wheels, new features, etc.) to the LS this fall, but said the engine will not change. It may get a bump in horsepower, but it will remain a 4.3.
Three other interesting comments: The new GS coming next year will most likely have 4WD standard (that's what my dealer has been saying also), the GS will be the first car with the new Lexus "corporate" styling theme and the HPX concept will become a production car within the next year.
Did you get the date when the 2004 LS will hit the dealers?
syswei Posts: 1,804Any word on whether AWD will be on the LS this fall?
vcheng, I too am annoyed at the stupid LexusLink message, but have become convinced that there is not yet a way to turn it off. You can however greatly reduce its volume.
I have received a notice from Lexus that "An update to the voice prompt software is now available which will more accurately reflect the subscription status of your vehicle as well as provide the ability to control the voice prompt in the near future."
I take this to mean that at present I will still not be able to turn the stupid message off, but it will be a much longer message telling me that the hardware is OK but my subscription status is blah blah blah. So I intend to wait until the "near future" update comes out that will allow me to actually turn the message off.

Getting closer? Instead of June 30th, maybe June 29th!
I do hope that this fixes at least half of the issues present with this phone, or I'm just dropping it like it's some demonic afterbirth spawn of satan.
Ha! Searching for GPS!
Looks like the satellite isn't even on that's why it's searching lol..... When should we expect this to hit our phones? Ohh and I wonder how the battery life is? If it has improved or not with 2.1?
Any chance they added screenshots inside the market when looking for apps?
It gives me hope that one day my moment will work as it was advertised to work...
Yes, this was one of the features that was introduced with Android 1.6
Still has pretty much the same lock screen too
LockScreen on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
So maybe soon hopefully and from looks of it what he saying is he thinks this isn't the final build, t least that's how I take it, so can't wait to hear more.
This may seem like a silly question, but isn't 2.1 "suppose" to be Flan?
Maybe that got debunked at some point that I just missed out on, but I am confused.. lol The sequence that I was aware of was 1.5 Cupcake, 1.6 Donut, 2.0 Eclair, 2.1 Flan..... ??
I think 2.1 is considered to be Eclair as well.
Ya it is... 2.0 and 2.0.1 had some inherent flaws and weren't considered 100% implementations, 2.1 was a minor implementation to fix some of these problems..
If you go to the sdk site
Android SDK | Android Developers
you will see 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 are active platforms.. while 2.0 and 2.0.1 are considered older...
Apple's still causing too much trouble for multi-touch to be enabled. I wish a judge would hurry up and squash their argument that moving my fingers on a screen is a patented process...
Let's just hope they've fixed the CDMA radio!
yes - fix the radio issue... I'm getting a new Moment today because that was Sprint's answer to the radio problem... I wasn't going to turn down a new device... 2.1 can not come out soon enough...
hopefully, SDX will have a rooted kernel soon after
Why should this hinder the moment in getting multitouch? Didn't the Droid and Nexus 1 just recently have theirs enabled?
Pre has multi touch too.
Yeah but Palm is riding Apple at every turn. Just look at how much commotion they've caused with the whole iTunes thing.
As others have stated 2.0 and 2.1 were both considered Eclair. There is no such thing as Flan. The next revision is Froyo, but we don't know specifically would the version is (2.2? 2.5? 3.0?). The Evo 4G is supposedly going to be the first device to run Froyo unless the N1 or something else gets updated before the Evo release.
2.6.32 is going to be Froyo
and then
2.6.33 or 34 is going to be Gingerbread, according to an Android Kernel dude.
both of which I already have.
Uhhh....I think you're talking about the kernal version numbers...somewhat separate from the Android version number.
Each company that enables multi-touch officially is making a challenge that Apple can use to file lawsuits over. Google (I think?) has been in a suit with them for a while over multitouch in general (maybe its palm actually) and those who have adopted multitouch in the meantime are gambling on whether or not Apple will lose and multitouch will be made free use.
Google owns N1, Motorola owns Droid.
Palm's on the verge of going out of business so they probably feel they have nothing to lose.
This is all mostly wild speculation... I'm sure someone can/will come in and correct me where I'm wrong.
You know what even more fun than 2.1 on the Moment 2.1 on a Touch Pro sence January 2. I dont know what all the fuss is about Im happy with my Moment and my Touch Pro.[/IMG]

The cop who killed a man while trying to subdue him for arrest has been sued several times for allegedly violating the constitutional rights of black men, USA Today reports.
Daniel Pantaleo, a 29-year-old officer for the New York Police Department, put 43-year-old Eric Garner, a black man, in a chokehold on Staten Island when Garner tried to resist arrest. Garner, who was unarmed, told police he wasn't doing anything wrong and wouldn't let them touch him.
The NYPD faced accusations of racism and racial profiling after the release of a bystander tape that showed several cops crowding around a nonviolent Garner and Pantaleo hooking his arm around Garner's neck and dragging him to the ground.
