Comments about New Balance MT110 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
I purchased the mt110 last spring for a trail running class I was taking in college. I have been an avid runner four about six years now and from day one I have run on the same style of traditional running shoes. But when I bought the trail shoes I was immediately converted. I absolutely love the amount of terrain feel and control that you get in these things. They aren't as minimalist as some of New Balance's shoes but they are great for someone who wants to go the minimalist route but doesn't quite want to give up all their cushioning.
I used these shoes pretty heavily on the trails around where I go to college...averaging about 20 miles per week for 10 weeks. After that I started running with these shoes on the road and although they are advertised as a trail shoe, they do very well on pavement. I really like the added traction that the outsole gives you. It just seems to make you feel like you are more planted to the road, especially when it's wet.
More about the shoe itself: the arch support is excellent, and the fit/shape of the shoe compliments my feet very well. They essentially embody the phrase "fits like a glove." Like I mentioned above, the traction on the road and trails is unparalleled. Good breath-ability as well. On a side note, these shoes clean up very well too. Just hose 'em off and set them out to dry and you are good to go!
Another side note: I recently hiked South Sister in these shoes. while I wanted something with a little more coverage to keep the rocks and dust out of socks, they handled surprisingly well. The softer blue part on the outsole took a little beating but other than that the shoes took it like a champ.
Minor cons: the rubber mesh at the top of the toe box is slightly ripped on both sides from encounters with sticks. This is simply a cosmetic issue and has nothing to do with the performance of the shoe itself. Another issue is that the blue part of the outsole wears pretty quickly. It is designed to give extra cushioning and such but it really just get eaten up by whatever terrain you happen to be running on.
This is by far the best shoe I have ever owned and I would buy them again! NB hit it out of the park with this one

Comments about New Balance MT110 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
I bought these as an upgrade to the New Balance MT101s (which I absolutely love). The 101s suffered an unfortunate sharp stick injury.
Compared to the 101s the MT110 has quite a bit more traction and the toe-box is a bit wider.
These shoes have a very sock-like feel and lace really well. The uppers are very breathable and let water stream back out with ease. The sole wraps around nicely on the toe and is cleated on the toe as well. This makes climbing muddy hills a lot easier.
These are a minimalist shoe, and as such have minimal padding or support. The hardened nylon rock plate is a real foot-saver. I run on some nasty terrain, including a railroad track, and the rock plate comes through every time. Much safer than running in something like the Vibram 5Fingers.
I rated this a tentative 5-stars because the blue portion of the sole (the mid-foot) is wearing very quickly. The MT101's predecessor didn't have any tread hear, so perhaps it wasn't meant to be durable. If I start to notice a loss of traction, I may downgrade them to 4-Stars.
I've got about 30 miles on these shoes right now. I've only run trails, no pavement. Terrain includes mud, grass, rocks, streams and puddles (big puddles, or small ponds), clay, and sand.

Comments about New Balance MT110 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's:
After my first run in these shoes I loved them so much that I wanted to rush home and write this review. Once the excitement died down I realized I should put them through a bit more use before I jumped to conclusions. So now that I have around 60+ miles of mountain runs in them here is my review.
I ran in a Cascadia for years and have been wanting to try a less built up shoe. I admit I was a bit skeptical that the 110 would be enough shoe, especially for my trail 50 miler this summer, but after a couple 4 hour runs I can say that my feet feel just as good as they did in the Cascadia's, no hamburger feet or beat up leg feeling.
The fit is amazing and my best description is it feels like you are running in moccasins that have just the right amount of cushioning and great traction. The upper hugs my foot and really locks my heel down into the shoe. Being so low to the ground has almost made rolling ankles a thing of the past.
A late spring snow/sleet storm turned one of my favorite trails into a mudfest and put the traction to the test, they performed great
I used to run in a size 10 in the Cascadia and I am also a size 10 in the 110's. I have a narrow foot with a medium to high arch and the shoe fits great, although it might be a squeeze for someone with a large volume foot.
One last thing to mention is that if you are coming from a traditional shoe with a large heel/toe drop, transition into the 110's slowly. They will stress parts of your foot and calf that haven't seen action in awhile.
Overall, an excellent mountain/trail shoe. Be sure to try them on though, they aren't made for everyone.
I can't wait to get back out this weekend and run in them again.

Ohio's largest city, state capital, and home to the massive Ohio State University, Columbus is a likeable place to visit. Its position in the rural heart of the state also makes it the only center of culture for a good two-hour drive in any direction.
Ohio became a state in 1803 and legislators designated this former patch of rolling farmland, on the high east bank of the Scioto River, its capital in 1812. The fledgling city was built from scratch, and its considered town planning is evident today in broad thoroughfares and green spaces. Statues form a significant part of the cityscape, with many of them portraying the city's namesake, Christopher Columbus; there's even a replica of his ship, the Santa Maria, docked downtown on the Scioto River.
Though Columbus has more people, it always seems to lag behind Cincinnati or Cleveland in terms of public recognition. As such, the place is best enjoyed for what it is – a lively college city with some good museums, gorgeous Germanic architecture, and a particularly vibrant nightlife. Surprisingly, it boasts one of the country's most active gay scenes. The spacious, orderly, and easy-going downtown area holds several attractions, along with the new Arena District entertainment zone. The main nightlife areas – bohemian Short North Arts District and more mainstream Brewery District – are on the north and south fringes of the center, respectively.

Hi, I'm Gianna Bruno. I live in New York City and write in several genres under many names. Sorry to be so mysterious, but this is the place to find out more about my erotic romance. Eternal Press published my erotic paranormal novelette Hot Chocolate Kiss in January 2010. And The Journey, my erotic paranormal novella with historic elements, will be published by EP in December 2010. I'm working on some contemporary erotica right now-a novella or collection entitled At Home With Peter and Sandra about a couple in the suburbs of somewhere seeking to re-invent their relationship. Hot Chocolate Kiss is like a yummy mini box of candy-perfect for a holiday or Valentine's Day gift. Guys love it because of the sports-both on and off the slopes. Check out the five-star reviews on Amazon.com The Journey is dark and edgy with some menage and light BDSM. Its a more traditional fantasy set near Salem, Massachusetts just before the start of the Civil War. At Home With Peter and Sandra has all of the above, plus loads of humor. Want to know more? You've come to the right place. Stay in touch. I love to hear from readers.

B+ A+F Campus Housing: Most students live on campus, due mainly to the convenience and overall quality of the housing options. The dorms won't blow you away, but they are all well-maintained, clean, and roomy. Some of the newer options, including two brand new green-friendly dorms and on-campus apartments, are more expensive but very nice.
A A+F Campus Housing: Except for freshmen dorms, the dorms are pretty nice, although it's not like living at home.
B+ A+F Campus Housing: The freshman dorm Cullen is great and so are the options for upperclassman. The apartments are really nice but kind of far away
C- A+F Campus Housing: Housing is poor at best. Most buildings are old and not up to date at all. The school is trying to clean them up, but there's only so much they can do.
B A+F Campus Housing: Apartments and Upper Class Dorms Are Great – The dorms for the freshmen students could use a little work but are still good for a first year student, and if you're familiar with a few people in the upper class dorms it's entirely possible to upgrade if they're willing to vouch for you.

Written by Kriti Mishra
All students at Birmingham-Southern are required to live on campus until they are 21 or are of junior status, unless they are local and can live with family. This means that you end up getting to know the people that you go to school with very well. Living on campus is the most convenient option because everything is within walking distance of the dorms, and though the dorms themselves are by no means lavish or impressive, they are equipped with all the necessary things for college life. Some of the dorms include movable furniture, and all of the rooms have a great view of the mountains outside. Each dorm has its own computer lab and free laundry, which are probably the two best features. Also, the Residence Life staff is very receptive to student requests, and they are always trying to find ways to get the halls closer to one another. The RAs, especially, are welcoming and act more like friends than authority figures. Finally, if you plan on living on campus, you're pretty much guaranteed to have somewhere to stay all four years, because room shortages are not very common. There are also several different styles of dorm living. Some people like living in suites with their friends, while others prefer only one roommate or a single. Either way, there are different options for everyone to try.

Application performance monitoring with Hyperic HQ
Monitoring Java Application Performance
Hyperic offers robust features for monitoring and managing many types of applications, but the tool provides special integration with enterprise Java applications and application servers.
When it comes to the enterprise, most system administrators need to go beyond the simple "service is up or down" monitoring of core services. The focus is instead on gathering complex metrics inside an application to understand how the infrastructure is performing. The next frontier is application monitoring. Most conventional monitoring solutions do not have the ability to poke inside the application or database without custom tools or scripts.
Hyperic has more than 70 built-in plugins for managing and monitoring various application servers, database servers, web servers, Xen servers [3], VMware ESX servers, and more. When configuring application and database servers such as WebLogic, JBoss [4], or Oracle Database and MySQL [5], it can become rather cumbersome to integrate trending of performance metrics into an all-in-one monitoring solution. Usually trending such application-specific metrics is a highly customized, manual process that requires custom scripting or writing proprietary tools.
Hyperic automatically collects the most common metrics of interest in almost all of the most popular database servers, application servers, middleware, and network equipment. Hyperic trends performance data for these types of applications and platforms, automating what is otherwise a time-consuming, high-overhead process.
For example, if a JBoss application server is running on the target host, the HQ Agent will automatically discover the JBoss server and collect metrics such as transactions, JVM heap usage, thread count, hibernate statistics, and active connections (Figure 3). Hundreds more application metrics can be graphed, trended, reported, and alerted on, and each application's metrics are custom tailored to be relevant to the type of application. For example, when installing the HQ agent on a server running an Oracle or MySQL database, the application metrics show SQL statistics in addition to the other application metrics.
In addition to the default metrics available for the standard 70 officially supported application plugins, custom metrics can be developed and implemented for items not present in the system of logical defaults. The Hyperic website has a list of products and technologies that HQ can natively manage and trend.
Managing JBoss with Hyperic's JMX Integration
For a closer look at Hyperic HQ in a real situation, consider the case of a JBoss Java application server. JBoss is an excellent choice for a Java Application Server platform; a free, open source community version of JBoss is available at http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads/.
The first step in monitoring JBoss is to enable and configure the Java Management Extensions (JMX). JMX is a standard Java API that allows for default and custom monitoring of various attributes related to Java applications and the Java Virtual Machine.
The Sun JDK exposes certain MBeans to the user by passing the -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote argument, which allows you to connect to the Java Virtual Machine's MBeanServer via JMX. This feature lets you access metrics from the JVM itself with Hyperic HQ or any other JMX client.
To access the JBoss MBean server through JMX, you need to pass some additional parameters to JBoss at startup. JBoss includes a start script to set all parameters that can be modified to include custom management arguments. The arguments can also be passed to the JVM on the command line, but it is better to keep them stored in a script.
To enable JMX remote connections and enable access to the JBoss MBeanServer, start by making a copy of $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh to modify:
cp $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run-jmx.sh
Next, add an environment variable at the beginning of this run-jmx.sh script to set the custom JMX monitoring arguments (Listing 3). The JMX options that are specific to JBoss and the Sun JVM have been separated for modularity and put in the JAVA_OPTS argument, which is used by JBoss at start time.
Listing 3
JBoss Startup Script
01 #!/bin/sh 02 ### =========================== 03 ### 04 ## 05 ## JBoss Bootstrap Script 06 ## 07 ### ============================ 08 ### 09 10 ### $Id: run.sh 64199 2007-07-23 15:57:38Z cazzius $ ### 11 JBOSS_JMX="-Djavax.management.builder.initial=org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver" 12 SUN_JMX=-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=5555 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" 13 JAVA_OPTS="$JBOSS_JMX $SUN_JMX" 14 15 ...
Now set executable permissions
chmod 750 run-jmx.sh
and start JBoss with the -b <public IP address> option. Otherwise, JBoss will only bind to the localhost address and startup messages will be written to the console.
First make sure the network configuration is set up properly in the /etc/hosts file. Leaving this file as a default can cause problems with port bindings on the application server.
Once the message that follows is written to the console, the server will be up and ready for monitoring with JMX:
15:09:44,394 INFO [Server] JBoss (MX MicroKernel) [4.2.3.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_3_GA date=200807181439)] Started in 9s:380ms
To discover automatically the JMX services of the Sun JVM, modify agent.properties to include this line:
If the agent is already running, the above line will require that you restart the agent, as in the following line:
/usr/local/hypric/agent-4.0.2/bin/hq-agent.sh restart
Customizing JMX Queries
Now that JMX is enabled on the server and imported into Hyperic, a massive selection of monitoring and trending options is available. With the use of regular expressions on particular MBeans and attributes, you can create custom queries and then import them into the monitoring dashboard for trending over time. This strategy is especially helpful when monitoring custom applications that have their own custom JMX MBeans and attributes because Hyperic lets you centralize the monitoring with a standard interface. For more information on customizing and extending the Hyperic JMX plugin, see the Hyperic website.

Like the title says...
Hello there!
I'm new (to this site only) and I've been watching this website for quite a while now, pulled myself over the line and registered. I'm certainly not new to roleplaying at all, I've been roleplaying for quite some years now and I absolutely enjoy letting my imagination run loose on all kinds of ideas. Roleplaying helped me with English in school and I'm currently following a bilingual course, meaning most of my lessons are in English. I'm so happy I made that choice, it helps me greatly.
I'm a girl, still young I guess, but fascinated by books. I've been fascinated with writing and reading books ever since I moved back to the town I was born after my parents divorced. And it helped me get out of depression.
Whatever, anyways. I enjoy chatting and roleplaying. Drop me a pm if you want, I don't bite. I'm very excited to get to meet some new friends on here

During my third trip to the Cannes film festival this year I ended up with seven different shoots, but thankfully there was still plenty of time for fun.
Below are some images from my nights out of the town that I shot with my recently purchased vintage Leica point and shoot on Kodak Portra and Tri-X film. Some of the faces you might recognize below include Paris Hilton, Ellen Von Unwerth, Isabeli Fontana, Toni Garrn, Giovanna Battaglia, and Liu Wen. All those lights blasting from the Hotel du Cap? That was the Vanity Fair party as seen from the water.

I am using "Google Tasks" on my computer and "Go Tasks" ( which uses Google Tasks) on my phone and iPad to manage my lists now . I have encountered a problem though:
On my "Projects/Goals" list I can create sublists and write details as well. Sublists could be easily hidden if I don't want to see it.
Should I use the Projects List to write my thoughts, ideas, expected required actions...etc in sublists? If I need to do any of the actions listed under a project , I can just move it to the Next Action list. Is that OK? because in what the GTD book says is that I can't write any details in the Projects list.

Gestapo Agents of the new and improved Third Reich.
Uhh...we (Xerox) brings on new-hires inside of three weeks and that´s because of a lot of unnecessary delay.How ´bout this:1. Post a job opening2. Interview prospective employees for two weeks3. Make an offer to one person4. If they accept, have your stuff together so you can bring them on-board in two weeks or less.Back 20 years ago, that was called "normal".Of course, nothing the government does is normal. If some folks think it´s noteworthy that the IRS takes 80 days to bring newhires in - that´s almost three flippin´ months, guys - and other government agencies take twice that long, the problem under the bright light is the gross inefficiency of the government.But I shouldn´t complain. Most of the time, government inefficiency is necessary and good.
This is a good-news/bad-news joke, right?
"The easier to control you my pretties."
Ramrodding them through for the Obamacare fines.
It was said before Obama care was implemented they would hire 1700 new employees for the IRS. They are to keep us in check with the healthcare program. I don´t understand this at all.
They didn´t finish training the last ones.Will this be another Affirmative Action hire ?Is this because so many immigrants will be filing for the child credit ?
Too bad they can´t do something similar for the Department of Veterans Affairs where there is a HUGE backlog of initial claims from persons who have offered themselves and their lives in service to this nation.
Huh?Last year I worked as a temp at an IRS facility. Nothing glamourous, just opening mail and doing initial sort. Guess what? Some people still mail their returns.Anyway, I applied again this year. Actually did it in December (period of work will probably be Feb-Mar-Apr).I got lots of emails telling me my application was being processed. That´s nice.Yesterday (1/29), I get an email saying I need to be at the office today for fingerprinting. But they did say I could reschedule, which I did for tomorrow (1/31).I just counted the number of pages of forms I had to print, read and complete.25 pages.Plus, I have to bring drivers license, SS card, college transcripts, and separation documents from last year.I guess I´m being hired at warp speed, government style.Our only hope of salvation (well, beside our Lord and Savior) is the inherent inefficiencies of bureaucracies to actually implement all the draconian laws they plan to bring us to submission to our Dear Leader(US)!
Let me guess the hiring preferences...muslims get hired first; blacks second; illegals third; HS dropouts fourth; etc., anybody competent, dead last.

Hafa adai, i na'an-hu si Edwardjohn Fejeran
(Hello, My name is Edwardjohn Fejeran)
but you can call me EJ, Eej, Ed, Eddie, or even Mr. Awesome.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
During my high school days there was Xanga.com. I am not to familiar of what blogging really is, but have somewhat of an idea what it could be. Is it something for me to put on the internet so that everyone could know what's going on in my life? Sounds to me like a public diary and everyone has the password to reading it. But I am not doing this for the world's entertainment, I am doing this for me. There are only so many who could understand what i am going through, and very few who can actually give advice to which direction i must head to. Sounds like another sad story coming up, dont get me wrong not everything is all drama, but I'm sure that's what the audience would love to hear about.. this world is full of negativity and doubt, it just seems so much easier to feel depressed than to feel happy. To me depression is easier to feel because it comes out of the blue and so randomly, where happiness is something you have to work for. That's just me thinking… Judge all you want, your input is greatly appreciated.. I'm not gonna lie but before i could even type in my first words I thought to myself, "What kind of words of can i put on here to make myself sound educated?" that's just for a moment, but why am i lying to myself? I know that the highest level of education that i have is a high school diploma, I know that i didn't take my education seriously, I know that my lack of knowledge hinders me from whats out there, I know that my ignorance has obscured my vision to broad range of vocabulary, but I also know that as long as i am breathing it is never to late to learn.. I am open to criticism, and I am not afraid to admit fault. I can learn from my mistakes, but i would love to not make them. Knowledge is power, I am always willing to feed it the nutrients that it needs.
so hows that for my first blog?? be advise that i am new to this so dont hate :)

A grim day recalledJury hears Heckel friends, tapesA 5-year-old boy, in taped interviews last year with Hutchinson police detectives, said he was watching TV when a man came into his house and shot his mommy.
The two interviews were played Thursday in Reno County District Court in the third day of trial for Charles Christopher Logsdon, 33, who is charged with first-degree murder in the June 2011 shooting death of 27-year-old Jennifer Heckel. After Heckel was found dead shortly after 7 p.m. June 14, 2011, at their home at 501 Coronado, her son told Hutchinson Police Detective Scott Carlton his mom picked him up from school earlier that day, and they went home. He said he was watching "Zack and Cody" on the Disney Channel in his playroom on the south side of the house. The boy said his mom went into the kitchen to "get something, but some guy came in and shot her." He said the garage door wasn't closed, and "the bad guy just walked right in ... and shot Mommy." Heckel's family members lined four rows in Reno County District Judge Trish Rose's courtroom, and many cried quietly as the interviews were played. The boy, articulate and lively, first told police he didn't see the person but added, "He just shot Mom when he came in and went out." "I didn't want him to see me or something would happen to me, too," the boy told Carlton in the interview. Upon further questioning, the boy said he saw a car pull into their driveway. Then he heard four loud "booms" and heard his mom screaming when he heard the first boom. He said he heard a door shut, and he went to check on his mom after she stopped screaming. He ran next door to tell neighbors. The boy described the car he saw in his driveway as a "reddish," small, four-door vehicle with damage on it like it had possibly been in a wreck. He thought two men were inside. He said the man who came into his house had jeans on, short, black hair, and skin that was brown but not black. He didn't know the man. "He shot my mom," the boy reiterated, adding he did not know who the man was. *** In opening statements Thursday, Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton told jurors that Jennifer Heckel was shot in the chest and in the back of the head, with a bullet grazing her side - something that multiple first-responders, including local firefighters and Reno County EMS workers, confirmed in testimony. A bullet was found under her body, and another was embedded into a wall under the kitchen window. A bullet hole was found through the kitchen window, and police testified it went through a shed outside, but they never found it. Stanton told the jury an investigation implicated Logsdon as the person who shot Heckel in the back of the head. He described Brian and Jennifer Heckel as happily married - as did their neighbors, Leland and Ruth Spivey, during testimony - and he noted Brian was working out of town when Jennifer was killed. Logsdon, co-defendant Billy Joe Craig Jr. and a third man - whose identity has not been revealed - drove to the Heckels' home that evening in north Hutchinson, Stanton said. "For some reason, they believed they would find Kayla Rodriguez," he said, describing Rodriguez as a local drug dealer who "bore a resemblance" to Heckel. "The men had planned to rob and kill Kayla Rodriguez." Stanton said the men were targeting Rodriguez for a "paid hit" over a $27,000 drug debt, and Heckel had no connections to them. Heckel's body was found in the corner on the kitchen floor, partially under a table, not far from the garage entrance to the house, according to first responders. Police Sgt. Glenn McMurray was among the 17 witnesses who testified Thursday that responded June 14, 2011, to the Heckel home, including first-responders, neighbors and even two passers-by. McMurray's video of the inside of the Heckel home, which was played in court, showed a plate of uneaten food on top of the TV in the playroom, with the Disney Channel still on, and noodles and sauce in pots on the kitchen stove. Leland Spivey testified Heckel's son darted by his window, rang the doorbell and told him, "Mommy's hurt," about 7 p.m. June 14, 2011. Spivey followed the boy to his house and found an unresponsive Jennifer Heckel on the floor. He told the boy to go back to his house and have his wife, Ruth Spivey, call 911. Leland Spivey then flagged down a passing car for help. The 911 calls from Ruth Spivey and Mario Brown, one of the passers-by flagged down by Leland Spivey, were played in court. *** Hutchinson Police Lt. Martin Robertson, who leads the department's nine detectives, testified that every detective worked the case relentlessly, initially working 16- to 18-hour days and ultimately conducting more than 500 interviews. Investigators exhausted a search to find someone who wanted to kill Jennifer Heckel, he said. They quickly ruled out her husband, who was working out of town, and her son's biological father. They found no motives common in homicide cases, like financial trouble or jealousy, Robertson said. Detectives tracked down Heckel's every move on June 14, 2011, Robertson said, as he showed the jury a 5-foot-tall timeline of surveillance photos of where she'd been that day. Surveillance photos showed her going to and from work at the Kroger corporate office in Hutchinson. She was next spotted shopping at Lowe's - where she and her 5-year-old son bought items to make a Father's Day gift for Brian Heckel - and a receipt found in the Heckels' kitchen confirmed the Lowe's purchase. At 5:45 p.m., she picked up her son from school, signing a school log, before stopping by the home of Brian's boss for a check. At 6:25 p.m., a friend driving by the Heckels' home saw Jennifer Heckel and her son in the garage - where police say they found the items the pair was using to make the Father's Day gift. At 7:08 p.m., EMS was dispatched to the home after she was murdered, Robertson said. Police poured over the family's personal and financial information, even scoured Heckel's Kroger office on June 14, 2011, and found nothing, he said. Two weeks later, police branched out and started talking to people they knew in the community. The first break in the case came on June 30, 2011, when Craig told a detective Heckel had been shot in the head, information that had not been released to the public, Robertson said. Officers focusing on Craig learned about a plan to rob and kill drug dealer Kayla Rodriguez, he said. "They could've been mistaken - they had a lot of similarities," Robertson said. "If you knew either one of them, you would not mix them up, but it could happen." According to Stanton in opening statements, Logsdon fled to Nebraska the next day. He said Logsdon bragged to inmates about the murder and threatened one inmate who spoke to investigators. Since his arrest in September 2011, more than 420 of Logsdon's calls from jail have been recorded, Robertson testified. Stanton acknowledged some inmates were given "deals" but never before they offered information on the case. Logsdon's attorney, Michael Brown of Mulvane, told the jury he was "a little uncertain" about the evidence in the case. He said Heckel's death was a "very tragic event," but added he did not know who was responsible. "There were several people of interest in this matter," Brown said, noting several people will offer testimony based on rumors. Stanton said a .32-caliber revolver was found with Logsdon when he was in Hastings, Neb., that could not be confirmed as the murder weapon but was "not excluded." Brown countered the gun belonged to the man Logsdon was staying with in Nebraska. *** On the Web ... Find daily updates on the trial at hutchnews.com.

In Oregon they invented .. or recently started using a flashing yellow left turn arrow. This has caused accidents from both directions thinking (or not thinking LOL) that they have the right of way.
Just curious if they have these evil devices in Michigan and if so was it a factor in your accident?0311 1st MarDiv 1983-87. Semper Fi !
07-22-2012, 12:56 AM #18Some places do have the blinking yellow. We usually have a blinking red for left turns. There was no light at this intersection. I was heading east on a wide sweeping curve. she was in the center turn lane of the curve facing west. She motioned for a car to turn ahead of her. he motioned back to her to go ahead. She went without looking and turned right into my front end. I did not have time to take my foot off the gas.

07-22-2012, 01:20 AM #20well, I only had it 10 months. The hardest part was getting the insurance company to give me what it was worth. I have a replacement in the works. a 2005 yukon xl. with 20k less miles. I hope to have it monday.

Bill Gates Will Pay You $100,000 If You Can Make A Better Condom
Make a condom that people actually want to use, and snag yourself a hundred K from the Gates Foundation. Also you'll save millions of lives.
Men are idiots. Hence the common chorus of "but using a condom doesn't feel good." (The fact that having AIDS and/or babies feels much worse seems to have escaped these folks.) To be fair: The condom is still fairly primitive; the use of latex was the last major innovation (sorry, Trojan, your "fire and ice" condoms are weird and don't count), and that was decades ago. This is 2013! We are developing invisibility cloaks! We have cars that drive themselves! We have a giant telescope that can see into the past! There have been attempts to modernize the condom, but none have gone into wide production. And that means our best tool to fight the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases basically the finger of a rubber glove.
As a product, the condom is almost exclusively great. Cheap, easily transported, sturdy, effective when used properly, widely available, easy to use, intuitive, requiring no particular medical knowledge or even advice, which can save literally millions of lives. But if nobody wants to use them, none of that matters.
And so the Gates Foundation has established a proposal: come up with a truly next-generation condom. That means a condom that's more enticing to use--it could preserve or even enhance pleasure, make it easier to use, have more appetizing packaging, or anything else that will get people to actually want to use condoms. The prize is $100,000, offered through the Grand Challenges in Global Health program. Read about it here.
Or, stop shagging around with people you don't trust and develop the male pill in order to level the playing ground (so to speak).
Until there's a cure for STD's we'll have to employ some kind of barrier and no matter how advanced that barrier is you'll never be able to retain the feeling of going natural!
PS. I'm so glad Robot's gone!
Graphene condemn. I'll take my $100,000 dollars now Mr. Gates.
Seriously though I wonder how well that would work. It'd be expensive to produce as there is not an efficient way to mass produce graphene.
On the plus side the atom thick barrier should help with the feel. Plus the heat transfer properties of graphene might help with the pleasurability.
In many parts of the world, rape and sexual abuse is not considered wrong, or illegal, let alone worrying about a condom to prevent pregnancy or disease.
Perhaps just encouraging and making masturbation socially acceptable will help the most of these problems.
Besides, how often are men plague with madness\idiocy decision making during times of passion, then after the deed, their calm logic returns.
Hey guy, go to your private room and 'get over it', save yourself and the world a lot of problems too.
Look Moms and Pops, if you son knew and felt in advance of his date, that somewhere in the night when his passion is peaking and she says no to his pushy advance, it's ok to go home and in the dark of night of his bedroom, he can relieve his tension with no consequence.
Then later in life as this young man is and older man, this choice still remains and does not venture off to the dark side of rape, porn and child molestation, etc.
Grown men in their private home, can relieve their own stress and with no consequence to themselves or the world around them.
People need to stop acting like sex is a bad thing. Parents don't talk to there kids about it, kids are too embarrassed to ask questions about it and this is where some of the problems stem from. I knew adults that didn't know how to properly use a condom. Adults that don't know anything about std's. Some that don't know anything about how there own bodies work. It's pretty sad.
Prostitution should be legal. I think the amount of sex crimes would drop. If two consenting adults want to have sex, whether it's for love or money it should be o.k. Plus, ugly people need sex too. :)-
One word: Vasalgel. One quick shot and men are infertile for 10 years, and can reverse it whenever they want. Won't protect against STDs, but if everyone takes the hour or so to get it done then the number of unwanted babies would absolutely plummet.
And Anylcon, it goes so much further than just rubbing one out. Masturbation doesn't do anything for the human connection, which is a huge part of sex... which is why I fully agree with Handthumb, sex in general should be more socially acceptable. Everyone (generally speaking) has sex, and everyone enjoys it, yet if you ever mention having sex among anyone but close friends you get socially shamed for it. Why?
Yes, sex is natural and the desire and a lot more social and sexual education needs to be made aware to the public.
"...Prostitution should be legal..." I find that an idiotic statement. What you just can't find the ability to take care of your own business, by yourself? But rather pay someone (who does not give a dam about you). Grow a personality so the person likes you without the need to pay someone to be near you, lol.
Then make love, not sex, responsibly with the maturity for all the consequences that might happen in prepared advance.
Or go home and just take care of business, by yourself, no consequence. Hey, you do not even have to pay anyone, lol, no harm, no foul, now go to sleep.
In this world, men hurt woman and children, I am just sick of it. In this world the harm men do to woman is often not thought of as wrong either. In this world, they abuse, sexually abused, not give education and make woman and children like slaves. (Often, men do not even feel or know they are doing wrong or it is not even illegal in their country?!?!)
These men just need to go home and take care of their business.
Oh I could rant.... Take care. ;)
AIDS in Africa and most of the third world is a heterosexual disease. The third world I think is what Mr. and Mrs Gates are more concerned about. With antibiotic resistance growing, syphilis and gonorrhea are also becoming difficult to treat.
Many, I would think most of us, like to share our sexual experience with a loving partner. Solo performances might be great for musicians, but have only ever been a poor second best for me and most people.
So if somebody comes up with a better condom, I can only say great. There will always be premarital, extramarital, risky intercourse, but that should not mean a death or life debilitating sentence for those involved.
As African Rover points out, the Gates Foundation is concerned about the AIDS epidemic, primarily in Africa. 33 million people are infected, many of them women and children. Condoms are one of the best ways to prevent transmission but the Gates Foundation isn't putting all their efforts into condoms alone. They recognize that it is a multi-faceted problem. From their website:
"Our goal is to help...(develop)...programs that combine primary preventive interventions such as condoms, male circumcision, and targeted behavioral interventions."
Condoms are a testimony to the rampant immaturity in today's society. The saving lives line is BS, condoms are meant to prevent conception and nothing else. To that end the use of condoms is immoral and irresponsible, sexual intercourse is about reproduction not satisfaction. It is the physical union between a man and a woman. If you want satisfaction grab a d*** Snickers bar, otherwise grow a spine and straighten it - you'll need it for when you do have a kid.
SNICKERS. Cheap, clean, easy to use, appetizing, and available in a store near you. I'll take my finder's fee now Mr. Gates.
Nooneyouknow. You think that using condoms is immature? Using a condom is being a responsible adult. Sexual intercourse has evolved over thousands of years and has become more than just for reproduction. Everyone needs to put the bible down and use a little common sense here. People have evolved, the bible hasn't. The bible is just some words put on paper....by who? MEN. I think the problem is, all of the bible thumpers have all this pent up anxiety from not having sex. Go get you some and let us know how you feel. Disclaimer, I am not a biblethumper: but I do believe in a higher being. Just not the way you think. :)
A very targeted approach. I see this as a printing problem. Printing surface inks to produce textures that are silky and more like real skin. The other is the most convenient disposable test tube. Printing on condoms the tests for HIV, Herpes, and other STD's can reduce disease. If exposure is indicated then antiviral treatment is started the day of exposure to prevent transmission. Standard STD test could be printed inside and outside of the condom protecting both parties. Perhaps even special condoms to test for diabetes, and cancer from the random pack.
And of course the ovulation detecting IUD changing RFID tags when ovulating. A key chain like devise scans the RFID tag to detect ovulation or an STD exposure. If an STD exposure is detected it sends a blue tooth signal to her cell phone to call her, her doctor, the pharmacist, and the CDC. She is then put on treatment to prevent transmission. A virus must still reach a high enough level in the body to infect someone but if it cannot no infection.
Oh, and don't forget the fortune cookie condoms. Temperature inks make your fortune readable.
What if instead of condoms I come up with a machine that will allow two users to make replicas of their genitalia and then link those two replicas to a program that measures movement and then allow people to simulate a sexual encounter with each other without ever having to touch their partner. If you need me I'll be in my science closet making a prototype copy of my genitalia.
Condoms are a great tool. I say tool because being a member of a society that puts sex out there, it is hard to go without it. Human beings use to wait more till mariage, although have not always followed this, more easly becoue we were married younger and lived shorter lives, and did not have temptation everywhere. Personally i lost my virginity at 19, which is considered late. I tried to wait, but it was inevtiable in todays society and once you have it , you want it that much more. Being much older no, i have always used condoms if it was just "sex" , which was when i was younger, and intill at least 6 months into a relation ship , where we both were tested. Two things make condom use hard. The first is that it clearly is more enjoyable on both sides, you can be more in touch not just with your needs but your partners, and the just how much better sex is with love. Passion makes it so much better , but can be easly killed with the whole let me get the stop and get the condom thing. Passion is a in the heat of the moment kind of thing. Even a min of stoping can change heart rate and mood and take the passion away. I have never feared getting someone i loved pregnant, although thankfully i have not , becouse i am single now, but the pull out meathod works alot of the time for that , and if a accident happened , im ok with that. If everyone used condoms for meaningless sex, and got tested as a couple before not using condoms, there would be a huge cut in stds, which is the biggest problem. Society also needs to find a way to bring back the "If it is broken you fix it" mentality, becouse there will be bad times in every relationship, that can extend for even up to a year, but if there was love once , it can come again. Both people have to be willing to work on it. Divorce should not be a easy option , inless there is physical violence, and or , severe mental viloence. A arguing couple, with high tempers , even one person , is not enough , it needs to be at the higher end of the scale to cause divorce becouse some people get loud when there upset and if the problems are fixed may never get loud again. I say this being the one that wasnt loud but willing to take the verbal abuse when things got bad. End of rant!
Next gen condoms should consist of "color technology" that can let the user know if the condom is under extreme stress of breaking apart while in use. Basically a change in color will let the user know when or if to change the condom for extreme protection! For example; a condom that has the technology to detect when or if the condom is in danger of breaking should be the next gen condoms. The condom is initially green in "color" but than turns into a red "color" - to alert the user it's time to change the condom! It's just a random idea which I found pretty interesting & unique. You don't want to over do condoms with nonsense. The condoms need to be simple and ultimately helpful if your looking at the next gen condoms. So therefore, I believe this would be a awesome idea! What's you take on this? - victor

HDRO Conference Room
24 September 2009
Time: 12:30- 2:00 p.m.
What should the strategic focus of HDRs be in 2010 and beyond to promote development for, by and of the people - to create an environment in which all people can fulfill their potential? This lecture will analyse the dynamics of intellectual, policy, and political factors that have influenced the policy and normative shifts in the international development agendas since 1990. It identifies three key challenges to HDRs in promoting the human development paradigm: (i) path dependence on the HDI; (ii) 'lost in translation' effect of MDGs distorting the HD approach; and (iii) tension between alliances with the UN system and civil society. It proposes redefining policy agendas and strategic alliances.
About the Speaker
Sakiko Fukuda-Parr is Professor of International Affairs at the New School. She was Director of HDRO and lead author of the UNDP Human Development Reports 1995-2004. She is currently working on a book on MDGs and Human Development to be published by Routledge in 2010.

Collaboration, human element are key ingredients for design excellence
Art Smith is Architecture + Design Discipline leader at Harley Ellis Devereaux. He believes that design is a process of exploration and discovery to define the unique requirements and constraints from each individual client, site and organizational culture. Through a mixture of emotion and logic, problems are redefined as opportunities for innovation.
What is design excellence?
There is no doubting the potential power and value of design, but how do we maximize the benefits? We must understand the process of design and the roles of the engaged parties, to begin to understand the "real issues" associated with a given project.
This is one in a blog series by architects, on architecture. What defines design excellence? It seems to me that most people believe that design excellence is largely based upon aesthetics. In the world of architecture and engineering, design excellence is much more than just good looks. At a basic level, architecture must balance functional requirements with budget, quality and timing objectives. Yet, when each of these challenges is met, the result is merely a weather-tight building that is functional and uninspiring. Take a look around our community. How many buildings do you notice? What makes a few seem special? Winston Churchill stated "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us." Does architecture have an impact on our society? If so, what is the result? Have we lowered our standard as a society to accept and even ignored the built environment? Collaboration is a key factorThere are a lot of people involved in the building process, including the representatives of the owner and users. This can be as few as one and as large as 20, all with a perspective, agenda and priorities that may or may not be in alignment with all interested parties. The process to align priorities and build consensus can be a daunting task. Does this political process prevent design excellence? Not necessarily. The design and construction process is, by necessity, collaborative with numerous contributors of complementary expertise. It is not unusual to have a team of 15 to 40 professionals involved in the design, engineering and production of the documents necessary to construct a building. In addition, a 100,000-square-foot four-story building would employ over 200 tradesmen and a 50-story skyscraper would easily involve over 1,000 workers ... all at one time. Now give this a voice within the lowest bid. With all of these competing voices how do we get them to sing in harmony instead of just making a loud noise? A common mistake made by many architects and builders is to start developing a solution prior to understanding what really needs to be solved. Design Excellence is not a math equation with a right or wrong answer. Instead it is based upon theory and philosophy towards life with all its great potential and future possibilities. So, what is the missing ingredient? Fundamentally, there are at least two important people necessary for design excellence: a visionary owner and designer. Together, they set the direction of the project like a composer who interprets and transforms the wishes of the owner into music. The process starts with a creative designer with the talent and mindset to compose a compelling vision with unwavering passion and commitment to an idea. This state of mind is a journey of discovery that extends beyond site context, program, budget and schedule as the designer challenges the status quo and views constraints as opportunities for innovation and enlightenment. This investigation into the many factors and impacting forces is the most challenging and creative aspect of the design process. It is collaborative, creates joy and tension, contradiction, complexity and contrast while giving life and purpose beyond mere programmatic functionality that embodies authentic core values.The creative design process breaks preconceived notions to allow for the freedom of innovation, imagination and expression to embody nature and improve the lives of society. The result of this discovery process provides the conceptual foundation for all value judgments and decisions. Simply stated this process provides the answer to the Why question. The design journey is fluid, complex and simultaneously rigorous in the pursuit of simplification. Conceived by one voice the human experience that is sometimes lost in the development of buildings and spaces, flourishes in the creation of architecture and design. The human factor is the key ingredient to design excellence. The human elementDesign excellence is simple, poetic and dynamic while providing delight and exceeding client expectations with an appropriateness of the contexts they inhabit. A well-conceived building or environment is not only beautiful but welcomes, embraces, breathes, evolves and creates emotion. It is the positive force that excites the senses with energy that speaks, touches and rejuvenates us. Architecture makes the greatest contribution when it goes beyond the predictable to environments ripe with intellectual challenge and sensual delight, inviting all who experience it to see the world from a different point of view. This is the magic that creates memorable experiences. I believe we want such places to serve as markers of design excellence for future generations. Our work defines us as a society and we need the courage to speak up and provide a voice to design excellence. Will you sing with me? Related Content:
