hi all, yesterday evening to buy the LRB through xbox360 marketplace. After waiting for it to download the 5.5gb of game, I have errors when trying to play.
Specifically the error that tells me is that you can not read the disc. Something strange because it is reading from the hard disk.
I wanted to know I can do in such cases because it is the third time that removed and I re-download the game but I can not play.

Finding other outlets for gardening energy

I'm not sure what I would do without a real break from gardening. As much as I dream all winter of hightailing it to the tropics, I depend on this dark, cold season for the time to rest, refocus my eyes, and renew my enthusiasm for all things gardeny. That said, isn't it hard to ... -

I-66 Tier I Environmental Impact Study (EIS) |
Potential Multimodal Improvements in Prince William and Fairfax Counties |
Project at a Glance
Summer 2011
Est Completion Date
Northern Virginia
Angel Deem
Central Office Project Studies Manager
What's Being Done?
The Tier 1 EIS is studying potential multimodal improvements that can address existing and future transportation needs in the Interstate 66 corridor from U.S. Route 15 in Prince William County to Interstate 495 in Fairfax County.
The study area encompasses areas both north and south of I-66.
The EIS is being developed as a Tier 1 document.
A Tier 1 EIS differs from a traditional EIS in that it focuses on broad issues such as:
- Purpose and need
- Travel modes (bus, carpool, rail transit, car, etc.)
- Technology choices
- The general location of proposed improvements
This Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being developed by the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.
Stay Informed, Participate, Comment Online
Throughout the study, residents can offer suggestions and voice concerns.
To gather input for a "purpose and need statement" for this study, public meetings were held in June 2011, and January and February of 2012. March 2013 public hearings focused on the Tier 1 Draft EIS, which entails:
- Extensive traffic forecasting
- Analysis of how transportation modes work in combination with others
- Evaluations of possible impacts on the natural and human environments

If you have additional questions concerning this study, contact VDOT project manager Angel Deem at 804-371-6756 or by email at email@example.com.

Employers added 203,000 jobs in November, which was much more than expected by economists. The unemployment rate also dropped from 7.3% to 7%.
This marks the second month in a row of a better than expected jobs report.

Recently, marketers have developed cutting-edge, sophisticated ways to combine offline and online information for more detailed profiles of shoppers than they've ever had before.
They also are perfecting location-tracking technology as to bring in new customers and influence shoppers as they wander through stores.
Retailers like Target are now pushing their own mobile apps and offering in-store Wi-Fi and mobile coupons, while in-store Wi-Fi is another way to track a consumer's online movements.
Also stores like Macy's, Best Buy and JCPenney, have partnered with the Shopkick mobile app, where shoppers turn it on inside the store and get rewarded with discounts or song downloads for trying on clothes, scanning barcodes and making purchases.
Southern California fast food workers staged a walkout as part of their attempt to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour- the second strike this year.
This protest was part of a nationwide strike effort that was organized by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and designed to pressure Congress into raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25, or about $15,000 annually.
Workers say many have to work second jobs and use public assistance to make ends meet.
The strike is not getting backing from the White House as President Barack Obama said last month he will only support a minimum wage raise to $10.10 per hour.
L.A. County social workers took to the picket lines on Thursday, with the two biggest obstacles to a deal being the timing of a pay raise and the caseloads of social workers.
Some of the strikers explained that they don't have enough manpower to properly investigate their cases, especially with some families routinely dealing with mental health and substance abuse issues.
We spoke to Lowell Goodman, Communication Director of SEIU 721, and David Green, a social worker for the county, and they both emphasized that their priority is to maintain the safety of the children that they serve.
We also spoke with the head of DCFS, Philip Browning, who informed us of his plans to hire about 450 new social workers over the next year.
Nelson Mandela, the father of modern South Africa who led the fight against apartheid and then became the nation's first black president, died Thursday at 95 years old.
South African President, Jacob Zuma, said, "He passed on peacefully in the comfort of his family. South Africa has lost its greatest son."
Mandela was a revolutionary who served 27 years in prison for taking up arms against his country's oppressive white government, and he became the face of forgiveness as he embraced his former captors and urged sworn enemies to forge a "rainbow" nation.
(The video above shows Mandela's iconic speech, upon his release from prison.)
Michael serves as a senior advisor to the CEO of First AME Church of Los Angeles, and he spoke about the church's personal relationship with the Mandela family as well as Nelson Mandela's legacy.
They are holding a special memorial ceremony for Mandela this Sunday, and on their website they are also collecting words of comfort or inspiration for the Mandela family.
Paul Walker anonymously purchased an engagement ring for a soldier's fiancée.
A worker at a jewelry store in Santa Barbara, California says the soldier who had just completed his first tour of duty in Iraq came into the store with his fiancée to buy a ring prior to heading overseas again.
She saw a ring she really liked but he told her he couldn't afford it.
The "Fast & Furious" actor was in the store at the time and overheard the conversation.
Walker bought the $10,000 ring and told the workers he wanted to remain anonymous.
When the couple asked who bought the ring for them, the workers honored his wish: They wouldn't tell.
President Obama spoke about the gap between the wealthy and the poor in America, making a highly personal case for raising the minimum wage and strengthening the social safety net in our country.
Obama declared it the "defining challenge of our time" to make sure the economy works for rich and poor alike, adding, "I take this personally. I'm only here because this country educated my grandfather on the GI bill."
The LA Times reports that Obama spelled out his economic priorities and outlined his approach as he enters negotiations with congressional Republicans over budget and fiscal matters. He also said that slashing government programs doesn't attack the most serious problems facing the nation's middle class.
Obama also made clear that he will push publicly for an increase to the minimum wage, even though critics doubt that the bill will pass.
The 911 calls from the Newtown school shooting were released today and gunfire can be heard in the background of at least one of the calls.
While one of the callers was clearly distraught, others were remarkably calm while talking to police.
A Connecticut judge ruled last week that the 911 calls should be made public because of the "clear public interest" in the recordings.
RICHARD HARWOOD, Founder and President of the Harwood Institute of Public Innovation, is an expert on helping communities deal with difficult changes and he helped the Sandy Hook community to cope with their tragedy.

New Mexico newsman Sam Donaldson arrested for DWI
Posted at: 12/19/2012 1:22 PM

Delaware police say New Mexico resident and journalistic icon Sam Donaldson was arrested for alleged DWI earlier this month.
Donaldson, the former unofficial "dean of the White House press corps" during the Reagan era and beyond, was arrested on Dec. 1 after being pulled over for a traffic violation in Lewes, Del.
According to a report from the police, a brief investigation revealed that Donaldson had been drinking alcohol.
He was given the standard field sobriety tests and was arrested at the scene for driving under the influence.
Donaldson was then released to an adult, pending a court appearance.
Donaldson grew up near Roswell, where he still owns a large ranch.
In the 1970's, '80s and 90's, Donaldson was ABC News' chief White House correspondent.
He was also the co-host of ABC's Sunday news program "This Week" and the investigative program "Primetime Live."

I am anyway not so much concerned with effieciency, but i am concerned with reliability and safety.Is the ebay one likely to be of low quality and have a very short life? And how likely is a low quality charger to actually start a fire in my garage?
How much is your Customs Fees for the $65 charger?
To me, once you pay Customs Fees, then you aren't saving much money directly vs your other concerns. I say "hell yes" buy the PS Charger I recommended for your 48v application, and I would *not* buy "the cheaper" charger you ask about. Don't buy that junk, IMO.
HK always set value very low so no fees I already have a bulk charging sollution so I will wait and see what new products comes available.

Fusing jazz, classical and blues music together like no one before nor after her, Nina Simone was a one-of-a-kind artist whose artistic achievements and life-long support of civil rights places her firmly within the pantheon of twentieth century greats. Her long-time battle with bipolar disorder, her tumultuous relationship with the music industry and her self-imposed exile are also part of her rich narrative as the "High Priestess of Soul" but it is the plaintive beauty, ferocious spirit, immovable anger, and affirming force of her music that makes Simone so vital. One need only listen to her eulogy for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Why? The King of Love is Dead to grasp the depth of character her music embodied.
Andrew Bird's music is in many ways unremarkable, in the sense that he like so many other musicians working today, crafts quirky, folk-pop with lyrics that strike you as urbane and literary. What differentiates Bird's sundry brand of high-indie folk within this excessively saturated genre, packed full of overhyped, one-dimensional signer songwriters, stems from his classical music training, specifically his employment of the violin and other non-traditional rock and roll instrumentation (whistling and glockenspiel e.g.). Such an eclectic background provides Bird's music with so much more compositional depth and textural nuance than his contemporary peers. Sample some of Bird's material in this video clip at Pitchfork Media. If you're a fan, Bird is slated to play the Kalamazoo State Theater on October 18th.
Admittedly, I don't often locate myself in the choral music section of a store. However, after having attended the annual holiday concert hosted by the First Presbyterian Church and performed by WMU's award-winning University Chorale singers, my appreciation for this deeply calming and ethereal form of music has been greatly expanded. A perfect compliment to emptied, commercial holiday music, take a chance, like I did, and endeavor to explore something new about the variety and wealth of our arts community.
My first encounter with the American composer Philip Glass was several years ago and honestly, one of shock and awe. Clearly, at the time, I wasn't ready for his brand of repetitive music structures strung together with an odd assortment of instrumentation and vocal textures. Now several years later, Glass' eerily minimalist symphonies, hauntingly beautiful film scores (The Hours, Kundun, Fog of War), Eastern inflected rhythms, and evocative ensemble compositions have become some of my favorite classical tracks to listen to.
John Adams is another wonderful composer whose work I've recently embraced. His music is often thrown under the heading "minimalism" along with Glass and notable avant-garde musicians Stephen Reich and Terry Reily. Adams' music, like Glass' work, tends to generate its melodic color from alterations or subtle tweaking of a foundational harmony. Both deeply expressive and at times jarringly dark, Adams' music has been both widely honored and praised for its humanist themes and boundary-expanding nature.
We were privileged to host the Pacifica Quartet on July 8, in a concert and lecture made possible by Fontana Chamber Arts. The quartet's virtuosity and exuberant style thrilled the audience, which ranged in age from infants to elders. One patron remarked after: "Nothing beats a live performance." How true, and particularly so for chamber music which has been called the ultimate democracy. There's no conductor in a chamber ensemble, so all members must cooperate and collaborate. Each musician's contribution is unique. Each musician and his complete focus are needed throughout the piece. A live performance lets you appreciate this special relationship and the lively musical conversations that take place among the members.
Our next concert at KPL will be August 12 when we welcome singer songwriter Rachael Davis. Rachael's been singing on stage since the age of two. Among her accomplishments is taking grand prize in the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's Troubadour Contest.
Music for: Kids, Teens & Tweens

Recent IPCC report sites human influence cause of global warming
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) made available today the final draft of the Fifth Assessment Report. The report resulted from a worldwide scientific collaboration between 39 countries, 259 authors and 54,677 comments.
Notable findings include:
Scientists report human influence as the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century. Our subsequent and continued emissions of greenhouse gases will further warm and cause changes in all components of the climate system.
Changes include:
Scientists conclude that cumulative emissions of CO2 largely determine global mean surface warming by the late 21st century and beyond. Most aspects of climate change will persist for many centuries, even if emissions of CO2 are stopped. This represents a substantial multi-century climate change commitment created by past, present and future emissions of CO2.

Three men are safe after being rescued by helicopter in rough seas off Vancouver Island Wednesday night.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre responded to two calls of boaters in distress as wild winds and rowdy seas proved hazardous for two small ships.
The first call came around 7:40 p.m. from the sole occupant of a 25-foot sailboat off Ballenas Island, off the coast by Parksville.
The sailor radioed Comox and Victoria and reported his mooring line had broken near Nanoose Bay. Two rescue boats and a helicopter were dispatched and the helicopter reached him just after 8 p.m. His boat had run hard aground on Ballenas Island and was in no shape to be towed. The sailor was uninjured and taken back to Nanaimo.
A second call came from a concerned resident near Ladysmith, who saw two men take out a canoe around 5 p.m. and not return. The Cormorant helicopter, already in action for the previous rescue, swung by and spotted the men.
"One of the men was waving his cellphone at us from the tree line near Coffin Point," said Capt. O'Brien. Their canoe had been swamped by high waves. "We found a good open area on the beach and landed there at 9 p.m."
The middle-aged men were wet and freezing but otherwise unharmed. They were flown to Nanaimo airport.
"It's a lesson on why you never take a canoe out on the ocean like that," said Major Justin Olsen with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria.

Exercising with osteoporosis: Stay active the safe way
Choosing the right form of exercise
These types of activities are often recommended for people with osteoporosis:
- Strength training exercises, especially those for the upper back
- Weight-bearing aerobic activities
- Flexibility exercises
- Stability and balance exercises
Because of the varying degrees of osteoporosis and the risk of fracture, certain exercises may be discouraged. Ask your doctor or physical therapist whether you're at risk of osteoporosis-related problems, and find out what exercises are appropriate for you.
Strength training
Strength training includes the use of free weights, weight machines, resistance bands or water exercises to strengthen the muscles and bones in your arms and upper spine. Strength training can also work directly on your bones to slow mineral loss.
Osteoporosis can cause compression fractures in your spinal column. These fractures often lead to a stooped posture. Exercises that gently stretch and extend your upper back, strengthen the muscles between your shoulder blades, and improve your posture can all help to reduce harmful stress on your bones and maintain bone density.
Weight-bearing aerobic activities
Weight-bearing aerobic activities involve doing aerobic exercise on your feet, with your bones supporting your weight. Examples include walking, dancing, low-impact aerobics, elliptical training machines, stair climbing and gardening. These types of exercise work directly on the bones in your legs, hips and lower spine to slow mineral loss. They can also provide cardiovascular benefits, which boost heart and circulatory system health.
Swimming and water aerobics have many benefits, but they don't have the impact your bones need to slow mineral loss. However, these activities can be useful in cases of extreme osteoporosis, during rehabilitation following a fracture or for increasing aerobic capacity.
Flexibility exercises
Being able to move your joints through their full range of motion helps you maintain good balance and prevent muscle injury. Stretches are best performed after your muscles are warmed up — at the end of your exercise session, for example. They should be done gently and slowly, without bouncing. Avoid stretches that flex your spine or cause you to bend at the waist. Ask your doctor which stretching exercises would be best for you.
Stability and balance exercises
Fall prevention is important for people who have osteoporosis. Stability and balance exercises help your muscles work together in a way that helps keep you more stable and less likely to fall. Simple exercises such as standing on one leg or movement-based exercises such as tai chi can improve your stability and balance.
Movements to avoid
If you have osteoporosis, don't do the following types of exercises:
- High-impact exercises. Activities such as jumping, running or jogging can lead to fractures in weakened bones. Avoid jerky, rapid movements in general. Choose exercises with slow, controlled movements.
- Bending and twisting. Exercises in which you bend forward and twist your waist, such as touching your toes or doing situps, can increase your risk of compression fractures in your spine. Other activities that may require you to bend or twist forcefully at the waist are golf, tennis, bowling and some yoga poses.
If you're not sure how healthy your bones are, talk to your doctor. Don't let fear of fractures keep you from having fun and being active.

Seven Ways to Maximize #WAWine
Back to WAWine for Wineries Home
Events like WAMerlot and WAWine are awesome opportunities for wineries. They are events that bridge the virtual and reality. A participating winery that maximizes the event can connect with their existing client base, engage with new wine lovers online AND generate hundreds and even thousands of brand impressions in markets where they do business. This post is intended to be a support tool for you to maximize connection, engagement and hopefully sales.
#1 – Register
The first step is to register at the event site: http://wawine.eventbrite.com – This helps us to connect you to online participants who may want to purchase your wine when they join us through Twitter or Facebook. We also keep an updated list of wineries that are participating including their Twitter handle to make it easier for people to connect with you.
#2 – Invite
I'm an advocate for FREE forms of communication and invitation.
- At the very minimum you should send an invite to your email list or put the event in your regularly scheduled newsletter. The launch post is formatted like a press release. Copy and paste the info from there or you can actually download the press release.
- Create a Facebook invitation. For many, this is becoming the norm for how they manage their schedules. Doing this reinforces the message to people who are on your email list and engages people who are already adopters of technology. Make it easy for them to join by mentioning the Facebook Taste and Tweet page http://facebook.com/tasteandtweet
- Put the event on all event calendars in your area (winery association, web site, local event aggregators, etc).
- Tweet the event. Use twitter to point people to your Facebook invite or your web site calendar page so they can know specifics about how YOU are participating. Make sure to use the hashtag #WAWine in your tweets
#3 – Communicate
Be consistent in your efforts. Many people have an aversion to over communicating. While I'm not an advocate of spamming, you should know that social media is not like direct marketing, email marketing or mail marketing.
- Facebook and Twitter posts are chronological feeds that move quickly. What you say right now will only be seen by a % of your fans/followers. It's okay to communicate the same message a few times throughout the day and at different times leading up to the event.
- Engage people who are coming into your tasting room. Use THIS FLYER to hand out to every customer who buys wine or wants to take one.
- Remind people one or two days prior to the event. Everyone is in the same boat – too much to do and too little time. People want to participate and they want to drink YOUR wine. You just need to remind them.
#4 Engage Wine Writers, Bloggers, and Trade
In late June the eyes of the online wine world will be on Washington State. The timing of WAWine is no accident. It is an intentional strategy to generate greater awareness of Washington wine among the online community. One of our approaches is to network with the Wine Bloggers Conference and encourage wineries to introduce themselves to these committed bloggers (some of whom are paying over $1000 in expenses to attend).
- Review this list of Wine Blogger Conference attendees and reach out to see if they would be interested in participating in WAWine and sampling your wine.
- Be discerning about who you choose. If you are being distributed into a new region, select someone from influence there. Select a blogger who has format you and your client base can relate to.
- Some wine bloggers will either be unable to participate due to schedules or they may have other tasting commitments.
- If you need some recommendations, email me firstname.lastname@example.com – I can tell you who the power tweeters are
#5 Make it Easy To Engage
Do people know you're on Facebook and/or Twitter? Similar to your phone number and web site add these elements to your communication routines.
- Create a Follow us on Facebook and Twitter sign for your tasting room
- Create a contact us card (Phone, Email, Web site, Twitter, Facebook) that goes out the door with every customer
- Include Twitter and Facebook links to all of your email correspondence
- Tweet fun, relevant, informative content. Don't always sell.
#6 Offer a Special
People will be coming to your tasting room now through the event. Whether or not they can join you in person, many will join in online. Offer them a special on a new release, a WAWine three pack, etc. Even if they can't join in person or online, they can still drink WAwine on June 3! You can periodically Tweet or Facebook your special too, but remember to avoid over selling.
#7 Be Creative
Each of you brings something unique to the wine business. You may have a flare for art or music. Some of you have significant contacts in the traditional media world. Many of you are just looking for an excuse to throw a party. Make this your event. Take #WAWine and leverage the collective buzz and promotional efforts of 14 wine writers to your advantage.
- Contact media in your area
- Throw a huge party
- Invite a group to join you (women's group, painting group, musicians)
- Put your own spin on WAwine and have fun!
As always, please contact myself, Sean Sullivan from WAWineReport.com or any of the other wine writers listed on the event page. They're all on board to be a support or resource to help make this event a success.
Cheers and Drink Happy!
