U.S. Rep Phil Gingrey (R-Marietta) rubbed elbows during the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Roundtable hosted at the chamber's offices.
Most of the business owners told Gingrey they had concerns about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to by many Republicans as "Obamacare."
While Gingrey said the business owners' concerns about what he characterized as the law's overreach, he said he felt the reigning issue of the day is the state of the economy.
"What we are faced with in this election on Nov. 6 is all about the economy," he said.
Beginning in 2013, Gingrey will represent all of Cherokee County because of reapportionment.
Chamber member Mandy Chapman of Roytech Industries said rising health care costs are the primary concerns of her and her business. Chapman said her costs have increased 33 percent.
"We are really nervous about what is going to happen in the next couple of years," she added.
Larry Underkoffler with North Georgia Staffing added he felt the federal government continues to grow "so far out of control" with its size and scope.
However, Nathan Smith of New Horizon Home Services reminded Gingrey that many small business owners do not want handouts from the federal government.
"We just want to work," he said, adding he hopes Gingrey will remain unafraid to speak his mind.
While some business owners expressed fears about the cost of the federal health care law that was ruled constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court, Steve Sandridge of Pied Piper Pest Control said access to health care is a concern for him.
Gingrey agreed, adding he is convinced that most Americans "don't want the federal government to take over one-fifth of the economy."
He also said many Americans are not open to the idea of allowing bureaucrats to make decisions between patients and doctors.
If nothing changes by 2012, "Obamacare is the law of the land."
"That is what we will have to deal with," he added.
Stan Zawisza of S&J Environmental Products said he believed the federal government is "losing the war on globalization."
He noted the United States is not producing an educated workforce to be competitive in the global economy.
"We've got to come to terms with globalization," he said. "It's a fact."
Gingrey, who noted he served one four-year term on the city of Marietta's school board, said he agrees with the need to focus on improving the education of American children, particularly in the math and science fields.
Gingrey also promised the small business owners he would stand up against any plan to increase the debt ceiling in Congress. Gingrey added he would vote against any debt ceiling increase as long as there is no proposal from the government to create a balanced budget.
He also said he expects Congress will soon tackle tax reform, including a possible "flat" tax and a "reasonable" death tax.
Describing himself as a "hawk," he didn't shy away from saying the country needs to look at its defense budget.
"I believe in a strong national defense," he said, adding he felt the budget could still withstand some cuts, but not to the tune of $600 billion.
For Jennifer Anglin, she said she is tired of the partisan bickering.
Anglin, of Alfa Insurance, said she feels the debate surrounding the health care law is missing the biggest point, which she said is the increased cost of actual health care. She said one procedure her husband received rose considerably and she also was forced to sign up for a $5,000 deductible for her health insurance plan.
She said she wants to see a compromise in Congress to address the problem of rising costs.
"The extremism is not working," she said, referring to both Republicans and Democrats.

We"ve all come down with a really nasty cold/flu so I"m going to keep this post short and sweet. If you haven"t got a starter going already you may want to get on it right away because these rolls are like big soft pillows of goodness and if you haven"t had them your missing out. I would say that I want to stick them under my head and have the best nap of my life but they"re so fluffy they would disappear under the pressure. The flavour is sweet and mild with the slight tang of sourdough. Absolutely delicious!
There"s molasses in the dough which I think adds a nice richness but you don"t actually taste it, so if you don"t care for the flavour of molasses don"t let it stop you from making these rolls. Please!
These are great sandwich rolls. We had them with tuna salad and cucumbers the next day and the combination was perfect. The rolls are just a tad bit sweet which complimented the tuna perfectly. Plus they"re just so airy that the filling really shines. But I"ve also been eating them straight from the freezer, zapped in the microwave with just a pat of butter. Mmm.. good.
Oatmeal Sourdough Rolls
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 1 cup sourdough starter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus more if needed)
- 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Sprinkle yeast over warm water and let proof for 10 minutes. Stir in starter, honey, molasses, egg and butter. Beat in 2 cups flour, oats, salt and baking soda until well combined. Beat and knead in remaining flour until the dough is tacky but not sticky (it should be quite elastic but not get stuck to your finger when you press into it). Place in a greased bowl. Cover and place in an oven that has been preheated to the lowest setting (you can shut it off once it"s preheated). This is to ensure that the dough warms up from the cold starter and that it rises beautifully. Let rise until double (approximately 1 hour).
- Divide dough into 12-24 rolls depending on the size you want (12 for very large sandwich rolls, 18 for medium sized sandwich rolls and 24 for small dinner rolls). Place on greased or parchment lined baking pans. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until double (about 1 hour).
- Bake at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to cooling racks or paper towel to cool.
Makes: 12-24 rolls
* A trick that I do to make sure that my buns are cooked through is to flip them over and tap the bottom. If they sound hollow they"re done!

Skype for Linux 1.4 Beta: The Great Cucumber
The releases continue to roll out nicely, and another few weeks after the last Alpha update, here we are with our Beta, the Great Cucumber!
This release is also a milestone for us, as it is the natural successor to Linux 1.3 and is the first time we've created packages for 1.4. You can also find it via the public download site, so everybody is invited to enjoy the goodness of 1.4.
The big news of this release is the support of glibc 2.3 systems. What this means is that Skype 1.4 will now run on some older systems without upgrading the base system. This includes a fair few distributions out there, based on the feedback we received from 1.4 Alpha.
More good news – emoticons are back! Yup! Animated and static emoticons are back in Skype for Linux. By default, animated emoticons are currently disabled due to some CPU usage concerns, however you can re-enable them in the Options dialog.
Also, we have a new feature for the Linux platform. Call Forwarding! If you have SkypeOut credit, you can now setup a phone number to have calls forwarded to when you are not at your PC. The cost of the call being forwarded to you is charged at Skype standard rates. Skype does not need to be running for call forwarding to take place, making it ideal whilst travelling.
We've also finally cleaned up all the serious issues affecting Qt 4.3.0 adoption, and now that Qt 4.3.0 is stable, Skype 1.4 is also ready for it.
We're still committed to regular updates, and you should see an updated beta within the next month with even more bugfixes, so keep those bug reports coming in and discuss if you're having any issues on our forums. After the next release, our direction will become extremely focussed on a much requested feature, video! Stay tuned!
]]>By the way, if you're reading on, you're probably curious about the name, The Great Cucumber. This was a name that we, the developers, came up with to represent the feelings of the Skype for Linux community.
Everybody is expecting a great child out of the Linux project, and this child is coming. In ancient Roman times, the pregnant women and midwives would wear cucumbers around their waist to signify the upcoming birth, which would be discarded once the baby was born. In Skype for Linux's case, everybody is waiting either for 1.4 Gold or a video release, and in the meantime, we offer you this Great Cucumber to hold on to until the child is born.

I'm waiting for : SMS!!!Linux is ready? I dont undrestand why XP "yes" but Linux "no"!!
Thank you for your job!

Please make video support available soon, very soon.
I'm desperatly wating for it. -

The new interface is a step backward. It may look cleaner on first sight, but it requires much more steps to do things. Especially:
- Can't contact people not in my contact list in the input bar (need to change first the input bar into this mode)
- Can't dial phone number in the input bar (need to open the phone menu instead)What was wrong with the old input bar I just entered the contact and Skype would just do the right thing. This was actually how a program should work…
toxicdreams13579 said 6 years ago
Good Job on the 1.4 "Great Cucumber" release! Skype for Linux gets better now!~
s.ehlert said: "The new interface is a step backward. …What was wrong with the old input bar I just entered the contact and Skype would just do the right thing. This was actually how a program should work…"
I fully agree with those statements, the input bar should "Just Work" without all the extra clicks.
aur1ms said: "Great release, I'm waiting for: CONTACT GROUPS!"
I am too…
I also think you guys should pay attention to the option of tabbed chat windows/tabbed call windows as this would streamline the interface and unclutter the desktop so very very much!I use Skype as my main tool for instant communication with friends around the world; and I use Ubuntu as my ONLY OS and I look forward to more new Skype for Linux releases!!~

When it comes to Linux I prefer Slackware, because its so easy to use even the mascots could use it. They use the tar compressed as their packages. Not some antiquated idea that RH came up with to match their name, or an oddity that Debian came up to match someone else's name.
So why not test on Slackware-12.0 and then release a known working package for that. It save the 50 Million of us some trouble. And while your at it convincing the Partners to release Linux support for Slackware directly or indirectly would also be nice.

I am missing a package for Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper LTS! Dapper is a Long Term Support Version and will stay important for a while.
Please take that into account. -
andypoo said 6 years ago
drwho8: I develop on slackware-current, just so you know. So I would consider Slackware 12.0 fairly well tested

Ubuntu 7.04 new install, Skype runs and is obviously on the P2P network because I am informed when a contact comes on line. But cannot make any connections including to echo 123 because the error
Call failed: problem with audio playback.
I have audio, as sounds do come from my speaker. The Skype knowledge base has nothing to help.
eugeneccampbell said 6 years ago
Regarding previous
Call failed: problem with audio playback.
There is no audio problem with the OS; I play sounds.
The Skype ¨Troubleshooter¨ starts with four options none of which apply to me. The knowledge base lists errors with numbers none of which apply here (my error shows no number anyway). Even the term ¨audio playback¨ is nowhere there, not to mention the entire error message. I started with a clean installation of Feisty 7.04, on a Celeron 1.46 gHz on a modern motherboard, nothing fancy just 8ogb HD and a CDROM. No problems running Skype 2 on my Windows computer, and the problem is the same with the headphones that work there — but I cannot even get a computer-to-computer call to go through, so it´s not a problem of headphone. I´m waiting for Skype to respond to my ticket, but before then, anyone?

Thank you -
jonglass said 6 years ago
I would like to hope that you will release a PPC version of Skype some day. Ubuntu, for instance, is a great way for older Macs to enter the 21st century (for which OS X is a burden to run), yet, without Skype, their functionality is greatly reduced. In other words, I believe that Skype would be greatly used by others. Check out the forums for the various Linux distros, and I think you will see what I mean. Please release this for PowerPC Macs. Thanks.

bug: when you see the profile of a contact, if in that window you do right click and select "view the profile" that window has some problems.
Thank you for developing skype for linux

Does that mean we're going to wait for another nine months?
max-sydneyau said 6 years ago
I only use Skype occasionally these days because of the lack of amd64 support in linux. While I've got it to work in amd64 it looks like rubbish and often takes minutes to start. Instead I've signed up to another VoIP provider.
Please build an Ubuntu amd64 release.
petar.kovac said 6 years ago
Using 1.4 is great thanks for the Linux support! 1.4 dose take a while to get used to and dose take a few extra steps to get around but it all works.
VIDEO is a must, at least release a BETA version with VIDEO. Thats all i need added.
sardar_azeri said 6 years ago
I am also asking to release Skype ppc package for Linux (preferably, Ubuntu). I am running Ubuntu on my Sony PS3 as Other OS and everything is working perfectly. I just need a Skype to be fully happy. I thing, there are others who need this package as well.
graham.allott said 6 years ago
VIDEO (again) – Not putting the resources into quickly supporting video on Linux as there aren't enough users is a chicken and egg argument – until the video support is there, many Linux users just won't sign up or, like me, won't reinstall.
feasty said 6 years ago
Still waiting for it to be compiled for amd64 architecture along with many other. Yes this works great on i386 distros but come on lads, about time we saw a 64 bit version! Hopefully the next release will see this?
Thanks again.
bas.van.de.bas said 6 years ago
@ eugenecambell: maybe a bit late for you, but I fixed the exact same problem you experienced by changing the sound device in options > sound devices to any other device than default device (default). After that, it worked like a charm!
agompel said 6 years ago
It would be nice, if the Skype team would make Skype available on 64 bits Linux with Qt 4.x 64 bits libraries installed.
This is quite a trivial task, and would allow the quickly growing number of Linux-64 to use Skype, easily.
Also Instead of having a package for each distro, that the Skype team seem to have a problem with, they could follow the example of NVIDIA, where just one package provides the building blocks a reasonable install, on all the Linux distros.
Indeed it would require two versions one 64, one 32… but it should not be that hard to have only one, which is able to detect 32/64 bits versions, for a simple install.
Then the distros maintainers could build "had hoc" package for each/every distro.A.G.
chmielewski_piotr said 6 years ago
where is support for video call. how meny time the linux users must wait for this stuff ???

andypoo said 6 years ago
Hi — I'm not sure why you're replying to this old blog post, however we have video support already now for some time.
rojanmar said 6 years ago
Skype for the ps3 and also a ppc version for linux would be sweet!
lightningtech said 6 years ago
From my knowlege Skype for Windows and Linux are developed with Delphi/Kylix, as you probably know Borland/CodeGear abandoned Kylix but there's still hope.
The Lazarus Project http://lazarus.freepascal.org is an OpenSource CrossPlatform Delphi clone that works quite well on most known Operating Systems with good support for various GUI toolkits, CPUs and architectures and some of Delphi's own and 3′rd party components.
Of course there are still many companies that do not trust OpenSource at all and maybe this is the case for Skype, if so, we'll never see 64 bit support unless they rewrite it in another language for which there are commercial compilers and toolkits but since Linux is mostly OpenSource i see no "escape" from community made tools and it doesn't make sense to have too many commercial tools on an OpenSource OS.

Google Postini Services transition to Google Apps
Google has been building Postini email security features into Google Apps for Business. Google Apps is a professional suite of hosted email, calendar, and collaboration services. As result, Google is planning to transition Postini services to Google Apps.
With this transition to Google Apps, you can receive similar email security and protection, but through the more robust Google Apps services. Google Apps email security features also works with mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes, so you don't need to switch to Gmail.
For existing Postini customers there is nothing you need to do or change now.
What's happening?
- Postini message security and archiving functionality is moving to Google Apps for Business and Google Apps Vault
- You'll be able to use Google Apps email security features in a similar way to Google Message Security, and at the same price you are paying today.
When will this occur?
- Google anticipates transitioning Google Message Security and Message Discovery customers to Google Apps services over the next 12-18 months
- Your specific transition timeline will depend on your configuration and which Postini services you are using.
- Google will provide resources to help you with the transition
What do I need to do?
- Nothing at this time. Your Postini services will continue to run as usual.
- We will be in touch before the transition process.
- After the transition, you can try the full suite of Google Apps when you're ready, with no interruption to your email flow. Details about how to trial these services and pricing promotions will be forthcoming.
In the coming months, we'll share updates and information about the transition. In the meantime, existing Postini email security and archiving services will continue as usual.
For more information, please visit the Transition page in Google's help center where you will find more details and a FAQ.

Have you ever played a sandbox game before? Have you ever heard a phrase that someone added 'on steroids' to? Well this game is a sandbox ON FRIGGIN STEROIDS!
Your character will be an elemental giant charged with the task of growing a harmonious and prosperous planet with your powers. I shall take on the role of the Forces of Nature, choosing the repercussions of each action performed by the giants. I have given you all the key to unlocking your abilities, which is mana, and have put you on a dried husk of a planet which the last batch of giants cheerfully died on. Use your regenerating mana reserves to perform great feats of creation and turn this sad sack into a lush Eden! Or die slowly and horribly at the hands of your own creation in the process!
Basically, at the beginning of each game you choose what element you wish your giant to represent. This can be anything you can put your mind to so get creative! The livelihood of your fellow rpers depends on it! You are each put at separate ends of your very own desolate rock and have to work together in creative ways to keep the planet alive and growing.
As this is a game format, each player gets turns and your turn runs out when you run out of mana. Your next turn will start with a fully renewed reserve. How do you know how much mana is being used you ask? Well the happy and certainly not sadistic Forces of Nature will tell you each individually how much mana you have expended. If it is not yet empty, then you can keep posting! If it was empty in the middle of your post then nature will not allow you to perform that action, for better or for worse. Even though there are turns, the others do not have to wait for you and can post whenever they want until their mana reserves are depleted.
Now what is the point of all this turn-based propaganda? Well aren't you impatient! I think I'll give you a demerit for not listening! (Demerits mean nothing, and the Forces of Nature is making things up to scare you) The point is that when your turn is over, the Forces of Nature can get to the fun part if it's job. That being listing all the things you did wrong and showing how you suffer for it. Or... Good things could happen too... But who cares about that garbage?
As mentioned before there are multiple games. This is because if your team has not worked well enough, has been slacking off or has been raining down too much godly smack-down on the lower life forms then the planet crumbles and dies. The giants, of course go along with it. After that, a new planet is picked and a new team is dragged from it's core to repeat the process.
Sometimes the Forces of Nature likes to play games with it's giant subjects. When it fancies a little action, a random event is triggered. These are obviously RANDOM and are quite a big deal to players because they can be as large as forever changing the laws of physics. These events can be harmful or helpful to players, it depends on how they approach the situation. These events are also the reason why new worlds start with a specific trait which are as equally double-sided and influential as the in-game events. For the best to be made out of the situation though, teams should approach as a team or else the consequences could be... Entertaining...
The Forces of Nature would like to add that it has posted this thread here in the Casuals because of the level of creativity needed. It suggests that any giants that have no imagination box should find another universe to die -- it means... -- prosper in...

Alien Look-a-like terrorises small area.
By a customer , 02 Apr 2013A huge coincidence that the monster is closely related to the one in Alien (in terms of its looks). Its possibly a close relative. Its a shame as it had potential this film. Anyway, its okay but you cant quite figure out why the monster keeps returning to the same few places when it could mess about on the whole planet. Maybe its a home-bird. Not a film you would watch twice. The female sheriff is very young which doesn't quite fit. Fortunately she had a friend working in the 'outback' who had a full DNA testing kit to determine that the creature probably wasn't from Earth. And I thought people handling Uranium might wear gloves at least but I could be wrong...- Was this review helpful to you?

An astronomer's mysterious malady became a golden opportunity for a medical entomologist

goes to prove again that you cannot rely on doctors speaking "ex cathedra." You must take control of your own health and use them as tools.

Webster is obviously a very gifted scientist - curious and able to pose solvable questions that satisfy his curiosity and extend our knowledge. The observatory (or Schwan's laboratory, or some Californian museum of science) should have a memorial to the pair of them as a shining example of civic science in action.
I forgot to add that I live in Sweden, and here the ticks don't need a vector to infect people with borelia. They treat us just like any other warm-blooded animal (cat, dog, deer, etc) and attach themselves when we brush against them in the long grass etc where they lie in wait.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIsn't it time we begin to name the doctors who DON'T listen as well as the ones that do. The only difference between doctors and God is that God doesn't think He's a doctor. If doctors can't treat it in 10 minutes or less by tossing out a prescription, then they don't want to deal with it. I was frequently misdiagnosed for 5 years, had an unecessary knee operation and a "rare" autoimmune disease before I diagnosed myself from the internet with Borrelia burgdorferi, Lyme disease. Finally found a Lyme-literate doctor in S.F. We don't have Lyme in northern California either. If I, neither a doctor nor a scientist, could figure it out, why can't they???

Reviews & ratings
Been to this place twice. I have to say the second time was better than the first. We had a terrible experience the first time (which was about 3 years ago now) but ended up there with some friends again recently. The food is good, but completely overpriced for what it is. The mains don't come with much and you have to end up ordering sides to fill you which bumps up the price. The impressive part is the hot sauces which line the wall. You can spend the whole night trying them which as a hot hot heat fan I loved this part of the evening!

A group of us visited El Camion on Saturday night. Having read mixed reviews I was unsure of what to expect. We were extremely disappointed, and I would strongly recommend trying somewhere else.
The main problem was the service, they forgot to cook two of our mains, and instead of being apologetic that two of us would be eating after the other six, and gave no explanation. When we asked whether we could have a complementary drink to make up for us eating separately we were met with a very rude response and then ignored by the waitress for the rest of the evening whilst not very subtly making rude remarks . When our food eventually did arrive it was bland, tasteless and stodgy. Really disappointing.
I have given the one star for the Margarita which was good, but otherwise I would avoid. Don't go here if you want good authentic Mexican food, with friendly service!Alice Mon Jan 28Rated as: 1/5 -
I had a great night here last Saturday, the staff were very friendly and were able to accommodate our party of 7 at short notice. I shared beef nachos which were delicious and are a generous portion, for main I had the grilled chicken burrito which was yummy and I recommend having it 'wet' I rounded the meal off with pecan pie for desert. I was impressed by their range of cocktails and enjoyed a coconut bastidas, which was similar to a pina colada. The décor was interesting and the array of hot sauces from around the world were fun to try with dinner! All in all I think this is a lovely spot for Mexican food and very reasonable in price!

I have been here a few times now, for a private party, midweek late-night, and Friday night with a friend. Never been disappointed by the superb cocktails and always been made welcome by the thoroughly charming staff. The booths are great, but the best seats are at the bar.

Far too expensive for what you get. Essentially a fast food restaurant for top dollar. I ordered the platter for sharing it cost £25 and was worth £10 max as this was starter size. The margaritas were £8 this was expensive for what you got especially in a small plastic cup. Don't go here!

I went here on halloween and had a really good night. I'm a bit of a cheap skate so I thought it would be too pricey for me. At first I stuck to the tequila (around £3.50 cheapest) which was actually really nice and good fun with friends and in the end had a cocktail which was moderately priced (£8.50) compared to some london bars and It was awesome. All the staff were really friendly and dressed up. Even managed to have a dance later in the evening. Definitely want to go back.

I have to say this was a big disappointment. Getting in was a trauma, then we were told we couldn't just use the bar we had to order food as well, which was only so so. From the review on here it sounds like an easy going happy place but it was surprisingly stiff and dull.

bland bland bland! I was really excited about my trip to El Camion but i was left underwhelmed. The service was good and they meals came in a reasonable time frame but the quality of the dish was just terrible, as my mother is mexican I know what the homeland food should taste like and this was not it unfortunately but I will not give up on my quest to find a genuine Mexican restaurant in London

Tigers hang on for a 28-24 win at Chicago
October 2, 2004
CHICAGO, Ill. - The Tigers improved to 3-2 on the season with a 28-24 win over host University of Chicago, but they had to survive another opponent comeback to do so. The Maroons slipped to 1-3 with the loss.
Leading 28-12 after Jamarcus Shephard's 57-yard touchdown reception from Ross Wiethoff with six minutes left in the third, the Tigers watched that lead dwindle on the next two Maroons' possessions. Frank Brown's 17-yard touchdown run with 57 seconds left in the third cut the lead to 28-18. DePauw's next possession stalled and Chicago took over on its own 32.
The Maroons put together a 14-play, 68-yard drive that ended in Austin Way's 1-yard run. Mike Morentzi missed his third extra-point attempt of the day and the Tigers still held a 28-24 advantage with 6:59 to play.
The Tigers started from their own 33 and picked up a couple of first downs before being faced with a fourth and eight from the Chicago 37. The punt snap sailed over punter Bill Riley's head and no one gained control until the ball popped out of a pile and DePauw's Eric Lewis scooped it up at the DePauw 28 and returned it to the Maroons' 24 and a first down.
DePauw was able to run the clock down to 53 seconds after punting. Chicago advanced to their own 44 before time expired.
Wiethoff put the Tigers ahead on their second possession with a 91-yard sideline scamper. Jack Stockert closed the margin to 7-6 with a 23-yard pass from Marc Zera. Jason Murphy's 6-yard run and Shephard's 50-yard pass from Wiethoff made it 21-6 at the half.
The Maroons closed the gap to 21-12 early in the third after T.J. Rajcevich picked off a Wiethoff pass and returned it 50 yards. Brown plowed in from six yards for the score with 12:49 left in the third.
DePauw outgained Chicago 366-303 with Wiethoff rushing for 94 and Murphy adding 51. Wiethoff completed 13 of 21 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns to Shephard. Finishing with 10 catches for 159 yards, Shephard moved into fifth place on DePauw's all-time reception list, fourth on the receiving charts and third among all-purpose leaders.
Zera completed 25 of 41 passes for the Maroons for 223 yards with seven each going to Micah Dawson and Stockert.
Michael Elkins led the Tigers with 11 tackles and added an interception. DePauw finished with four sacks including one each by Dustin Hertel, Ian MacLeod, Rob Camfield and Forest Andrews. Gabriel Fernandez led Chicago with 121 tackles and three tackles for losses totaling six yards.
DePauw returns to Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference action when it hosts Sewanee on Old Gold Day. Kickoff for the October 9 contest is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

Schooners in the leeward class cross the starting line on Friday in Rockland in the Great Schooner Race. Nineteen schooners in four classes raced in the friendly competition from the Rockland Breakwater to Camden Harbor.
By NORTH CAIRN Staff Writer
It was a race.
And then again, it wasn't.
Nineteen schooners of various size, age, color and speed cut across the waters of Rockland Harbor at midday Friday on their way to West Penobscot Bay and the finish line in Camden during the 36th annual Great Schooner Race.
Since 1977, any traditionally rigged schooner along the Eastern Seaboard has been welcome to participate in the race, which is always held in midcoast Maine.
With a reputation as "an extremely informal and friendly competition," the race ordinarily hasn't been set for an exact date or time until a few days before the competition. Maine Windjammer Association captains have established those details with the blessing of fickle winds and weather and the course of the tides.
But no more.
For the first time in 15 years, the association, which hosts the race, pre-set the date and course for the race from the Rockland Breakwater to Camden Harbor. Start and finish times remained iffy, largely at the whim of the wind.
The competition -- if you could call it that, since the emphasis was on having a good time and as many winners as possible -- drew ship captains from as near as the shores along which they sailed and as far as Palatka, Fla., in a daylong event that was more camaraderie than contest, more remembrance than rivalry.
"We're trying to resurrect an older tradition of racing from port to port," said Meg Maiden, marketing director for the windjammer association.
In their heyday, schooners were popular for commerce that required speed and windward ability, particularly in such ventures as offshore fishing and the hauling of granite, logs and other heavy materials.
Usually two-masted sailing ships (though they could have more), they were capable of great speed and navigability and were a common choice for pirates, slave traders and privateers -- mercenaries on the high seas.
"At that time, you wanted to be first; you wanted to be fast," said Maiden. "This," she said, with a sweeping arc over the boats and across the waters, "is for fun. It's a loose race."
The schooners vied in four classes -- flying jib, coaster, leeward and windward -- most fitting to the size and speed of each boat.
Variously known as rigs or sloops, they sliced across the horizon on a picture-perfect day for sailing off the Maine coast -- all blue skies, rolling white clouds near the horizon and billowing sails.
The finish line, which took between three and four hours to reach, was Camden Inner Harbor, about "eight miles as the gull flies," said Brenda Thomas of Rockland, captain of the Isaac H. Evans, a 65-foot restored "coaster" schooner, with its highest mast reaching nearly 100 feet into the clear, bright air.
Built in 1886, it was purchased by Thomas in 1999 and is used as a charter boat for tourists who want a taste of the sea.
"The appeal (of the race) is getting the boats all together and recreating a scene that people might have seen a hundred years ago," said Thomas, the only female captain in the race.
She led a crew of four and hosted 21 paying guests in a voyage that ran four days and nights and included the sailing competition and gentler pleasures, like a lobster bake on a remote island, food prepped by the ship's chef, a berth and the chance to live aboard a rig and "learn the ropes."
The novice sailors experienced firsthand the tasks of hoisting and lowering sails, tacking, navigating and steering.
"There are lots of different approaches" to the race, said Thomas, acknowledging that even in such a casual atmosphere, competitive sailing is hard work. "My strategy is to have fun."
Her secret boils down to safety and comfort for those on board.
"The more relaxed you are (as captain), the more relaxed they are," she said.
"I have a love of the sea," said Thomas, who worked as a teller and then in the consumer lending department of Camden National Bank until one unforgettable, fateful evening: Aug. 13, 1993.
Following in the wake of so many ship captains before her, Thomas earned her first voyage through a traded negotiation. She bartered her bookkeeping skills for a one-night sail.
And never looked back.
"It was a life-changing experience," she said.
By the next year, she was working aboard a boat. Within five years, she had become a captain and was restoring "these glorious old wooden boats."
She met her husband, Brian, while working with the ships.
She's now on the water from Memorial Day to Columbus Day each year, conducting charters and loving every minute of it.
The Isaac H. Evans has become a soulful familiar for Thomas. "I know her intimately," she said. "She's as much a person to me as a friend. She's taught me; she's been patient; she's challenged me.
"I know we anthropomorphize" these boats, she acknowledged. "They're like women -- all beautiful in their own way."

Web Marketing: Bringing Together Form and Function
When it comes to your website, you don't have to choose between marketing and Web-to-print functionality. You can easily have both!
These are the hurdles I find many printers experience when creating and or maintaining a marketing Web presence:
- One over-worked steward holds the key to managing the website, preventing updates from happening as often as desired.
- No one is completely trained on how to use the website, let alone understand its capabilities.
- The staff does not engage with the website on a regular basis and, if asked, may not know the content on the homepage.
- There is a lack of understanding of how SEO works to drive traffic to the website.
- Analytics are rarely looked at, if ever, to know how people are finding and engaging with the website. Analytics are that which can be managed can be measured.
W2P Website
W2P is what many view as the more technical side of the world. Some experience paralysis by analysis and avoid this topic altogether. There are many excuses as to why more printers aren't embracing W2P. Common reasons can range from "customers aren't asking for it" to "I don't have the human or financial resources to implement this technology". Or even worse, an investment has been made in the technology and the customer didn't embrace it, leaving the technology to sit idle with no return on the investment.
The truth is there is a technology that fits just about every printing company's size and budget. As for your customers not asking for it, I'll defer to Steve Jobs: "A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."
Using your website as a W2P tool allows you to reduce a drain on your resources and incorporate your website into your business management strategy. This technology will set you apart from your competitors.
Integrating W2P into your marketing website allows you to offer something personalized and unique to each and every one of your customers. One misconception is that W2P means you sell printing online. That's not exactly true. W2P is technology that allows you to more easily facilitate orders (in many instances for items that you've already created for a client) directly into your workflow without requiring as much time from design and production. Reduced resources can often mean an increased profit.
Integrating your website into your business strategy and combining a marketing site with a W2P tool can help you build customer relationships that last. Every step that you can save in a low-margin process, or every customer you please by having a technological capability they want, leads to increased revenue and long term success.
At the end of the day your website is the core to all of the marketing that you do. It should be integrated into every aspect of your business to maximize the ROI, which drives profit to your bottom line. It's time to get your engine revved up.

Sennheiser CX300 II Precision Red
"Sound great, can't expect more from an in-ear headphone... but they're so badly constructed that mine's broke after 2 months. Cheap plastic everywhere and a connector that broke after 1 week.

The sound is detailed, clean instrument separation, strong bass, and an awesome soundstage, and no microphonic... but after using it for a year I have to..." --QR2
Sennheiser IE80
" I count myself really lucky. I was convinced that these phones were too treble-ey and didn't have good bass. I tried some after market foam pads and the bass just came pouring out of them. This led me to experiment further and found that the black foam pads that came with them gave a very neutral, but full sound.

Yes, they handle bass veery well, but I never found that was at the expense of treble, not at the start (are now, since 4 years of earwax... yeh, you knowaddamean). Could be better isolating?

Whether or not the remarkable response from men for suffrage was expected back in 1914 isn't clear. However, this article published in the New York Herald about the huge suffrage pageant at the Armory documents a growing and more influential suffrage movement. The article noted that support from men had grown significantly in the previous three years and how enthusiastic men had stepped forward to be patrons of the Armory ball and pageant. Even children, including little Serena Kearns, were part of the production, as well as other children of the period. As the article shows below, my grandparents demonstrated their support as patrons.

text: A Room in Rome tells the short but passionate love between two women in a hotel room in Rome. Both women are about to leave the city which they have come to visit for different reasons and meet coincidentally in a pub the night before they go back to their homelands. They somehow spend the night together making love and sharing their stories which are at some point impossible to be distinguished as real or fantasy. Though the dialogues and the acting is not unbearable, the plot seems to be floating on air from many perspectives. The attempt to relate the stories of the women with the ancient paintings in the hotel room turns out to be quite unsuccessful and the character Max could not be placed aproppriately in the storyline,seeming to have been popped out of an absurd play. However the worst aspect of the movie is the binary opposition on which the relationship/love between the two women is based. The only difference from a heterosexual relationship is the absence of a penis in one of the parties. As the film quickly unfolds, on of the women is white caucasian, the other is a dark mulatto with hispanic and arab origins. One is tall, long-blond haired, studies history of art, heterosexual and willing to leave this memory as a secret, while the other is a short, dark-short haired, masculin mechanical engineer and an open lesbian who plays the active part in both the emotional and the sexual initiation of the relationship between the two. Even though the end is not totally unpromising, the representation of queer love in a so called festival movie should not be so shallow and so much located with in the boundries of the binary opposition of man/woman which it exists to attack and deconstruct.

Create alert for UAE central bankUAE central bank
The UAE central bank favors investing in American corporate debt rather than government Treasuries because of their relatively attractive yield, the central bank governor stated. "We are investing more in U.S. corporate bonds (because) they pay more than Treasuries. We are going for corporate investments more," governor Sultan Nasser al-Suweidi said, according to Gulf News.
Suweidi added the central bank would wait for a decline in the euro before making purchases as part of plans to diversify its largely dollar denominated foreign exchange reserves.

It's time to take some steps to help prepare your student to be financially responsible and protected. Although, ideally you would have had conversations with them since middle school and high school, it's not too late to have an impact. Here are seven things to consider that can make a difference:
- Have them explore/research possible scholarships and grants and talk about the cost of college. What a great project for their summer before college (or even better, the summer before senior year in high school.) College has gotten very expensive, even for families with means — $2,500 here, $5,000 there. You can search the Internet for databases of scholarships and grants. One great web site is www.scholarships.com. Don't forget to check with your employer about possible scholarships for employees' children. Also, don't forget local civic groups like your local Optimist Club, Rotary Club and others.
Some parents may feel that their children don't need to be "bothered" or "burdened" by knowing the cost of college. I would beg to differ. It is important for your son/daughter to understand the investment that is being made in their education. In many places of the country, the cost of a four-year college could buy a house. The point of the discussion is not to make them feel guilty, but to help them appreciate the investment more fully, and perhaps participate in helping to fund the cost. They are moving into adulthood now, understanding the cost of life is an important lesson. - Teach them how to balance a checkbook. Even if they won't be using checks, they still have to keep track of their deposits and ATM/debit charges. You can use your own checkbook as an example, which can then serve as double learning opportunity: learn how to balance a checkbook and get a better sense of what it costs to support them.
- Talk to your student about debt, debit versus credit card use and the responsible use of credit cards. This is one of your last chances to make an impression and have an impact on their values around debt. Talk about the challenges of getting into debt early in life and how it can impact the career choices that they can make later on. Explaining how student loan debt is different than credit card debt is another important discussion.
- Set up a reasonable discretionary spending amount for your student. Most college web sites provide some guidelines of what an average student may need for incidental expenses. It's also good to talk about which expenses are discretionary (pizza and movies) versus required (books & fees).
- Set up a monthly deposit (if you are providing the discretionary spending money) into your student's bank account based on your discussions in Tip Number 4. Make your life easy by making the deposit automatic. The other benefit of this monthly deposit is to allow your son/daughter to "practice" getting a paycheck and managing that amount each month. If a monthly deposit isn't working, consider a bi-weekly deposit.
- Get their basic legal affairs in order. Most parents don't realize that when their student leaves for college, they have become legally independent in many ways. By having a general and medical power of attorney, and perhaps an advanced medical directive, you can maintain some access and control over your son or daughter's financial, legal, and medical affairs. Without these documents, you may end up in some challenging situations. It's also another learning opportunity to explain what these are and why they are important to have as an adult.
- Finally, take the time to have a discussion around your values about money, work, savings and debt. As a financial life planner, I found that often parents never take the time to have a thoughtful conversation with their children around each of the issues. It can be a learning opportunity for you too as you have to clearly articulate what is important to you around money and work.
Sending your child off to college is huge transition in most parents' lives. You can use it as an opportunity to create financially independent, responsible and happy children.

Posted: Jan 12, 2013 7:02 PM
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica - At least 50 mothers sat down in a mall's fast food area and breastfed infants for nearly two hours Saturday, protesting over the shopping center forcing a woman to stop nursing her daughter a week earlier.
The action by Lincoln Square set off a furor on Costa Rican social media and even prompted a statement from the president - a reaction that seemed to shock the mall's management, which quickly apologized for the incident and announced that breastfeeding would be allowed anywhere in the shopping center.
Despite the retreat, some women decided to go ahead with the "mamaton" protest to show solidarity with Patricia Barrantes, who left the mall the previous weekend rather than comply with a security guard's order to stop nursing her daughter Mariel and move to a special lactation room.
One of the mothers at the rally traveled a hundred miles from Turrialba to the mall in Costa Rica's capital, San Jose.
"It gave me a lot of anger ... like you're doing something dirty, as if it's bad to remove a breast to feed your daughter," she said while holding her 11-month-old daughter Camila.
Similar anger was widespread after reports of what happened to Barrantes. Thousands of angry comments were posted on Twitter and Facebook, mainly by women in Costa Rica and other countries in the region.
Women's and children's groups said the incident set a terrible example in a region where they are trying to encourage more breastfeeding instead of the widespread use of baby formula in order to improve infant health.
Governments in Costa Rica and other Central American nations try to encourage breastfeeding with laws that include mandatory time off during the work day for new mothers to feed their babies or pump breast milk. But women's and children's advocates say rates of breastfeeding remain far too low.
The Costa Rican National Women's Institute sent the mall a formal letter warning that there was no legal justification for barring breastfeeding in public areas.
On Tuesday, President Laura Chinchilla admonished Lincoln Plaza's managers, saying interfering with breastfeeding in public was unjust and stressing that the provision of lactation rooms is only "so that women have an alternative location" to breastfeed if they wish.
The mall backed down later that day.

This is the first of eight stories in our Web feature on self-experimenters.
As Kevin Warwick gently squeezed his hand into a fist one day in 2002, a robotic hand came to life 3,400 miles away and mimicked the gesture. The University of Reading cybernetics professor had successfully wired the nerves of his forearm to a computer in New York City's Columbia University and networked them to a robotic system back in his Reading, England, lab. "My body was effectively extended over the Internet," Warwick says.
It's a far cry from his vision of transforming humanity into a race of half-machine cyborgs able to commune with the digital world—there is no spoon, Neo—but such an evolution is necessary, says 54-year-old Warwick. Those who don't avail themselves of subcutaneous microchips and other implanted technology, he predicts, will be at a serious disadvantage in tomorrow's world, because they won't be able to communicate with the "superintelligent machines" sure to be occupying the highest rungs of society, as he explains in a 2003 documentary, Building Gods, which is circulating online.
Something of a self-promoter, Warwick, or "Captain Cyborg" as a U.K. newspaper once dubbed him, has appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and other shows on the TV talk circuit to tout his work. In his 2004 book, I, Cyborg, he describes his research as "the extraordinary story of my adventure as the first human entering into a cyber world."
More reserved in conversation, Warwick says he wants to advance brain–machine interfaces (BMI) beyond current studies in nonhuman primates, such as a recent experiment that synched up a pair of robot legs with a jogging, BMI-outfitted monkey. He says the short-term benefits could be smarter prosthetics for amputees, infrared-based sensory systems for the blind and brain implants to treat Parkinson's disease.
Daniela Cerqui, an anthropology professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, who has followed Warwick's work since 2004, says she "met people very fascinated with what he was doing." She adds: "I also met engineers who didn't think what he was doing was real science."
In 1998 Warwick was one of the first people to have a simple digital transmitter known as a radio-frequency identification device (RFID) implanted just below the skin in his upper left arm. For nine glorious days doors parted and lights switched on for him in the University of Reading Department of Cybernetics as the RFID alerted different sensors to Warwick's approach. In 2002 he had electrodes implanted in the nerves of his left forearm (prudent for a right-hander).
He used the implant to enslave the robot hand far away in Reading, an electric wheelchair and the lights in his lab as well as to communicate with his wife, Irena. She had agreed to receive a similar implant to see if hus-borg and wife could exchange electrical signals. "If she moved her hand," Warwick says, "my nervous system received one pulse. If she moved her hand three times, I received three pulses."
He hopes to have a sensor implanted in his brain by 2015 that will allow him to send signals across a computer network. Of course, a Brown University team has already moved the goalposts much closer: In 2006 researchers reported that a 25-year-old quadriplegic man had guided a computer cursor and moved a prosthetic arm via a brain implant.
