For more motivation, here's a little info on one of our team members:
He started running in late 2003. In Feb 2004, he forced myself to register for a 5k. He hated running when he started it. After training for two months for the first 5k in May 2004 (Heart Mini Marathon), he timed in at 22 min, 45 sec. That is 4 min, 50 sec per km.
Later that year, he ran a 10 k in 5 degree celsius weather, in 48.5 minutes. And then the running didn't stop. The first half marathon was the US Air Force Marathon at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton. Timed in at 1 hour, 42 minutes (4 min, 50 sec per km). It was a tough run, but it was a phenomenal experience. The excitement of running with thousands of people. The rush of accomplishing a personal feat. And the glory of beating your fear of running or the distance. Its something to experience.
Running is great way to burn fat and lose those love handles and show that elusive six pack! Besides this, running has many health benefits.
The half marathon is a great event. Register and start training now. The Dream Run is a great way to start running for non runners.
At Fitho, we'll create running programs customized to your needs. If you have any questions

Gather Evidence Before Setting A Policy On GunsWednesday, March 13, 2013 at 10:41 am
To the Editor:
Hartford seems poised to hurry up and do something. This reminds me of a quote I heard years ago: "good politics rarely results in good policy." Better laws always address cause rather than effect. Any good policy begins with defining the problem, gathering evidence and identifying causes. Only then should solutions be evaluated/developed.
Bad Drugs Cause Violent BehaviorWednesday, March 13, 2013
To the Editor:
Regarding Newtown's school tragedy and "psychotropic drugs," there is a better solution, given the fact that "some 75 percent of these shootings" have been committed by children in school, as a psychologist working for the state was quoted in the Danbury News-Times.

Diablo Road of yesteryear is just one picture in the 2008 Danville Historic Calendar produced by Huether Insurance Agency with photographs by Bill Hockins. Tim Huether proudly hopes the calendar will hang in every home and office in the area.
"Everyone who sees it says, 'Wow!'" Huether said. "The neat thing about the project is that people come in with their stories. One guy came in whose father owned the gas station in one of the pictures."
Huether's father was a New York police officer, who patrolled Central Park on a horse. The family lived on Long Island where Huether became acquainted with a neighbor who owned a horse farm - and was in insurance.
"When I was an adult, our paths crossed," recalled Huether. "He offered me a job, to learn insurance."
Huether found it satisfying to help people in this way and was happy to ply his business on Long Island - until Karen Peterson came to nearby Fire Island from California for a family reunion. It soon became clear that they wanted to live in the same place. Karen tried out New York but Tim also visited California, where her family had moved.
"I fell in love with it," Huether said, noting that Danville reminds him of his hometown on Long Island before it "surrendered to highways and franchise restaurants."
He moved here in April 1993, and they were married that September. Now they have four children.
Huether opened his insurance business in Danville six-and-a-half years ago.
"I specialize in providing comprehension risk analysis of insurance needs for affluent clientele for both personal and commercial needs," he said.
He recalled attending an Insurance Agents Association gathering in his early years here and meeting photographer Bill Hockins, a retired agent whose office had been in Danville.
"Photography was his love," Huether said. "And he was always putting forward his love of Danville."
"What is unique about Danville, and what Bill and I both loved and sometimes discussed, is its appreciation for the past and its passion for saluting that heritage as it grows and necessarily modernizes," Huether said.
Hockins had begun taking photos when he was a boy growing up in Piedmont. He and his wife Hazel moved to Danville in the 1950s. When he began to sell insurance in the San Ramon Valley, he took photographs of the homes and businesses he was insuring.
"This was the start of my taking over 50,000 negatives of the rural San Ramon Valley," Hockins is quoted as saying, on his Web site, www.fototopia.com.
Hockins passed away in October 2005 and his son Russell took over his business selling the photographs; some are set onto sturdy wooden puzzles, where are available at the Museum of the San Ramon Valley.
When Huether began to ask himself what he could do to get his name out into the community - at the same time doing something nice for it - he remembered Hockins' lovely and nostalgic images. He liked the idea of producing a historical calendar, and contacted Russell who provided plenty of photos for the project.
"They were in binders," Huether said. "There were at least a thousand pictures."
After much deliberation he whittled them down to a few dozen, and from there to the 13 photographs in the calendar.
"It's fun to see what used to be where on some familiar streets, and what events like the Independence Day parade looked like 40 or 50 years ago," Heuther said.
He printed 5,000 calendars, at a cost of about $6,000. His friend and publicist Paul Hirsch wrote the captions. His father-in-law Gary Peterson, an engineer, helped with the proofreading as did his wife, who was an English major.
"I was told to get an engineer and an English major for the best proofreading - and I did," Huether said.
Distributing thousands of calendars has proven to be a huge undertaking. Huether keeps the museum supplied. They often go home with schoolchildren from there, and one father came into Huether's office for more. They are available at his office, 319 Diablo Road, Suite 100, as well as at the Danville Weekly office right next door, 315 Diablo Road, Suite 100.
"It's been a really fun project," Huether said.
He said the undertaking took two years, from start to finish. He hopes the 2008 Danville Historic Calendar will be a salute to his old friend, photographer Bill Hockins, as well as help those living here today to appreciate and preserve what they have.

College softball: FGCU wins doubleheader against Jacksonville
Florida Gulf Coast University swept its doubleheader against in-state rival and conference foe Jacksonville on Saturday at the FGCU Softball Complex.
The two teams opened the day with a back and forth game one that saw FGCU battle back on numerous occasions to win 10-9 in 10 innings. Game two consisted of the pitchers for both squads finding success early on and FGCU once again displaying its resilience to come out on top in 10 innings, 6-5.
"It was a couple of marathon games against a real difficult opponent," said head coach David Deiros. "You have to give Jacksonville a lot of credit as they took it to us the entire day, but our kids just did a great job of persevering to come back and prevail in both games so I can't be any prouder."
The Eagles (29-15, 10-6 A-Sun) and Dolphins will face off for the final game of the trio of contests today at 1 p.m. at the FGCU Softball Complex.

NEW YORK — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's annual induction ceremony is the only place you'd find Bruce Springsteen as just one member of a 21-piece backup band.
The rock hall's latest class brought together Neil Diamond, Alice Cooper, Tom Waits, Darlene Love, Dr. John and Leon Russell, and after all the speeches were done the musicians kept playing until the wee hours.
Springsteen brought his guitar to back Love, who created a modern-day "Wall of Sound" and dueted with Bette Midler on "He's a Rebel" after her induction Monday night. Guitarist John Mayer supported Russell in his ballad "A Song for You." Diamond had the crowd in the glittery ballroom of The Waldorf-Astoria hotel dancing to the 1960s era "Cherry Cherry."
Diamond had seemed a bit loopy in his acceptance speech, after traveling 25 hours from Australia for the ceremony and looking ahead to another trip Down Under to resume a concert tour. He criticized Paul Simon, who inducted him, for giving Simon's upcoming album a difficult-to-remember title ("So Beautiful or So What"), then tried to recover by saying "I dare anybody in this room to make a better album."

Manlius Fayetteville-Manlius football's first-year head coach, Damien Rhodes, breathed a sigh of relief after a tough 28-21 victory over Central Square Friday night in the opening round of the Section III Class AA playoffs.
"I'm glad that's over," he said as soon as the game ended.
A surprising back-forth-battle between the 7-0, top-seeded Hornets and 2-5, no. 8 seed Red Hawks was not settled until Jack Wilson intercepted Central Square quarterback Dom Godici with under a minute remaining in the game.
"We got to give our hats off to Central Square," Rhodes said. "They came in here and played hard. And they were able to give us quite the fight."
After a few costly injuries at the beginning of the season, the Red Hawks came in to Friday night's game hot off a two-game winning streak, and kept it going.
On its first drive of the game, Central Square ran the ball three times for 77 yards, capped off by a John Vincentini 34-yard touchdown run. A surprised F-M found itself behind 7-0 less than one minute into the game.
Things got worse for the Hornets, as a long drive ignited by hard runs by running back Jake Pulver ended with the Red Hawks recovering a fumble at its own 15-yard line. F-M would eventually take over on downs at its own 47, but eventually turned the ball over on downs.
Near the mid-point of the second quarter, the Hornets finally scored off a Jake Wittig 20-yard scramble. The junior quarterback ran to the left, cut back and found an opening on the right ride of the field to put the Hornets on the board for the first time.
F-M had a chance to pull ahead right before halftime, but Central Square's defense stymied Wittig and company inside the Red Hawks' 20 as E.J. Sampo rushed Wittig on the left side of the pocket and sacked him for a 10-yard loss.

Derrick Rose took the Pacers' best shots in Game 3.
Chicago's star guard picked himself up off the floor and still delivered the decisive blow.
Rose beat Dahntay Jones off the dribble, getting a rare clean shot to the basket with 17.8 seconds left for the go-ahead layup that gave the Bulls an 88-84 victory and a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series.
"It was frustrating a little bit," Rose admitted of Thursday's strong-armed tactics. "But that's basketball. If you don't stand up to it, no one will."
Rose, as usual, did his part.
Yes, he spent the first three quarters contending with the bigger Paul George, the feisty Jones and the relentless Jeff Foster, once running smack into an elbow and repeatedly taking hard fouls that sent him sprawling on the floor.
The continual punches did a number on the Bulls' MVP candidate.
He made only 4-of-18 shots, just one basket in the second half and finished with only two assists and five turnovers in 42 Qw minutes. But Rose still found ways to produce.
He went 13-of-15 from the free-throw line, finished with 23 points and his late layup put Chicago on the verge of a first-round sweep. Game 4 will be played Saturday afternoon in Indy, against a Pacers team that seems as dismayed with its inability to close out Chicago as Rose was with Indiana's strategy.
"It's very frustrating," Pacers swingman Danny Granger said after missing a potential go-ahead 3-point attempt in the last 2 seconds. "To know we're so close in so many games, just a few more plays to win the game or send it to overtime. It's just too many mistakes, too many mental breakdowns."
Heat 100, 76ers 94
Dwyane Wade had 32 points and 10 rebounds, LeBron James finished with 24 points and 15 boards and Miami took a 3-0 lead in its first-round series.
Chris Bosh scored 19 points for the Heat, who rallied from an early 10-point deficit to move within one win of a sweep of the Eastern Conference series.
Game 4 is Sunday in Philadelphia.
Elton Brand had 21 points and 11 rebounds for the 76ers.
Blazers 97, Mavericks 92
Wesley Matthews had 25 points and Portland cut Dallas' lead in the first-round playoff series to 2-1.
Jason Terry had 29 points for the Mavericks, including five 3-pointers.
The Blazers led by as many as 13 points in the fourth quarter. Jason Kidd made a long jumper with 12.9 seconds left to get within 95-92 but Dallas couldn't catch the Blazers.
Game 4 is Saturday afternoon at the Rose Garden.
LaMarcus Aldridge finished with 20 points for the Blazers, while Brandon Roy had 16 off the bench.

Comparison of Systemic Response After Laparoscopies Performed With Standard and Low-Pressure Pneumoperitoneum

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study was the comparative assessment of the influence of low and standard pressure CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the systemic inflammatory and angiogenic responses during the postoperative period after laparoscopic management of cholelithiasis.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|A Comparative Study of Angiogenic and Cytokine Responses After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Performed With Standard-Pressure and Low-Pressure Pneumoperitoneum
- IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, VEGF-A, Endostatin serum levels before the laparoscopies and 6, 24, and 48 h afterwards [ Time Frame: January 2006 - March 2006 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
|Study Start Date:
|January 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|March 2006
Patients with cholelithiasis operated on using standard laparoscopy method
Patients with cholelithiasis operated on using low-pressure CO2 pneumoperitoneum laparoscopy
Detailed Description:
Objective: The purpose of the study was to access the influence of low pressure CO2 pneumoperitoneum on the inflammatory and angiogenic responses during the postoperative period after laparoscopy. Summary background data: Surgical procedures enhance production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and angiogenic factors that play a pivotal role in the immunological response to surgical trauma and take part in the pathogenesis of tumor growth and adhesions formation. Methods: Study group consisted of 40 patients, operated on due to cholelithiasis using standard- (n=20) and low-pressure (n=20) CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Serum concentration of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, VEGF-A and endostatin were measured before the surgeries and thereafter at 6, 24 and 48h with commercially available ELISA assays. Results: Concentrations of IL-6 increased significantly after the operations in both groups. No differences were observed between the groups in regards to IL-6, IL-8 and IL-10 levels. Concentrations of VEGF-A measured at 6 and 48h were significantly lower in patients who underwent laparoscopies performed with low pressure pneumoperitoneum. No significant variations were observed in endostatin serum concentration. Concentrations of the studied parameters were not influenced by the duration of surgeries, age, gender, or BMI of the patients. Conclusions: The results obtained in our study do not show any significant differences between studied operative procedures with regards to systemic inflammatory response. Changes in the concentrations of VEGF-A and endostatin observed in the studied population may suggest this technique to be more favorable with regards to angiogenesis process intensity, along with all its consequences and implications.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 70 Years

Another robber takes drugs from pharmacy
TULSA - Police are looking for a suspect who held up a Drug Warehouse near 51st Street and Sheridan Road around 1 a.m. Sunday.

Officers say there were no injuries during the robbery.
This is the second drug store robbery this weekend.
Police say a woman wearing black scrub pants and a tan jacket with a fur collar robbed a CVS Pharmacy near East Admiral Place and Sheridan Road around 9:30 p.m. Friday.

Anyone with more information can call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.

ATTICA, N.Y. - The recycling facility that was responsible for an awful smell that spread throughout the Wyoming County Village of Attica last summer has to follow new pollution guidelines established by the Department of Environmental Conservation.
The DEC announced Tuesday that it had finalized a consent order with Hillcrest Industries.
Under the terms of the consent order, Hillcrest Industries has to reduce facility emissions and fund environmental monitoring services.
The deal with the DEC also includes a $100,000 benefit project fund that will fund improvements to the pool and playground at Veterans Park in Attica.

In other news…
Now it's time to say goodbye. Amy and Rory exit the Tardis shortly and a new companion has been announced during a press conference this morning. The Moff says that Amy and Rory will once again meet the Weeping Angels but someone won't come out of it alive.
If they kill the boy who waited, I'll be pissed.
Jenna-Louise Coleman is the Doctor's newest companion. We can expect to see 14 new episodes over the course of the next two years with new and old foes.
I'm still processing all this info so I don't have exact thoughts about the new companion as of yet. I will say I'm disappointed it's another young girl, please, let's leave the romance bits out of Who as I have a funny feeling that's where this is headed and if so I really don't want to re-live Billie Piper. Not that I didn't love Billie and Ten's incredible chemistry, just, I grew up on Who, and it was about the sci-fi and not the mushy.
3/21/12 9:57 Sarah:
Hmmmmmmmmm i'm not sure how I feel about that new companion either.. Will have to see her on screen first
3/21/12 10:09 Tiffany C.:
AWWWW, i knew this was coming, but i've grown attached to Amy and Rory. The fact that they leave during a Weeping Angels episode is almost perfect -minus the fact that one of them won't make it out alive. I have a feeling it'll be Amy.
3/21/12 10:27 Cj:
How did I not hear about this lol. Thanks for posting this muse! I like the whole weeping angels angle, it's sad one em are gonna die or something. IDK how I feel about this new girl, I agree with Sarah I'll have to see her on tv first I was kinda hoping for a male companion le sigh. I'm with you 100% about the romance thing. My fav companion was Donna and there was zero romance between them lol.
3/21/12 10:59 Ruth:
but, but, but only 14 eps for 2yrs?!? *cries* I think that they're going to kill Amy since Rory dies so often. The weeping angels give me heebie jeebies so they're my fav villian.
3/21/12 11:14 kimkats:
I'm with ya Muse – I found Dr. Who on our local PBS station about 25 years ago when they were showing the Tom Baker Doctor…. That guy has pretty much set the standard for Doctors for me now…. Ten was a bit mushy but I did like him; I still think Chris Eccelston was my fave of the new ones. And I am really tired of cutesy-wootsy companions. I want another Donna Noble!! She could kick any aliens ass if need be and wasn't along simply to be "precious" I must be the only person who finds Amy Pond annoying as he!! dunno why, she just drives me crazy…
3/21/12 15:33 Maggie:
I LOVE TOM BAKER SO MUCH. I have a fantasy that they'll get Dylan Moran to be the next doctor, I think he'd be an excellent return to the Tom-Baker-esque Doctor style.
3/21/12 15:34 Maggie:
It's not just you, Amy annoys the heck out of me! I want another Donna, too! She was awesome and totally un-cutesy and I loved the sibling kind of feel between her and the Doctor. More Donna-type companions, dangit!
3/21/12 13:07 Marina:
I don't have real thoughts yet, either. Guess we'll just have to wait and see!
3/21/12 13:16 Phyrra:
I'm not sure what I think of the Who changes, though I know it's very typical for them to keep changing it up so it says fresh.
3/21/12 15:32 Maggie:
Gah. I know I'm in the heathen minority, but I HATED Billie Piper (although most of that was because I hated her enormous teeth and airheadedness) and I HATED the romance angle. I really hope they don't get that going again with the new companion. I really miss the more brother-and-sister dynamic with Ten and Donna, I thought that played really well. Also, I'm honestly pretty sick of Matt Smith (admittedly Tennant is a really hard act to follow, though) 😛 Hope the next doctor is somebody who's a little less of a one-trick pony.

Gerbv is an open source Gerber file (RS-274X only) viewer. Gerbv lets you load several files on top of each other, do measurements on the displayed image, etc. Besides viewing Gerbers, you may also view Excellon drill files as well as pick-place file
User Ratings
User Reviews
Allows me to very quickly determine conflicts before sending my files off to a board house. Particularly nice is the check-box layer system on the left which allowed me to find a through hole part going through the middle of a silkscreen image on the bottom of the board. The only cons I could find were that this 2.6.1 viewer doesn't yet understand Excellon 2.5 drill format output by Eagle 7.2. And directory listings on busy directories is a little slow. Eagle 7.2 can be told to output Excellon 2.4 which this 2.6.1 viewer handles properly. This tool is a "keeper" for my design toolbox after spending a day reviewing others.
Best Free Gerber Viewer i've found!
This is the best of Gerber Viewer ... Fast, lightweight, & portable ... I frequently use it in designing PCB.
Contains serious bugs. Position and orientation of layers not saved in the project file. Exported merged file contains components without rotation set. Unusable.
Thank you SO MUCH to those persons who wrote that wonderful Gerber viewer. It works perfectly. Great job! Such software is so useful that it should have been available a long time ago. (Even not free) I remember there was one under MSDOS, which I forgot the name. If someone knows... Once again thank you for your time, your knowledge and your kindness for offering this. Dominique

It seems the reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops II came a little ahead of schedule, as the game's official UK site has exposed the game's release date and setting.
Just below the title's November 13, 2012 release date atop the page is a pre-order link. Once there, this descriptor awaits you:
Pushing the boundaries of what fans have come to expect from the record-setting entertainment franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 propels players into a near future, 21st Century Cold War, where technology and weapons have converged to create a new generation of warfare.
While the video housed on the site isn't yet operable, it should be tonight after the game gets pubbed on TNT's NBA Playoffs broadcast.

Several weeks ago I bought the one asset that all investors seem to hate.
I bought some stock in gold mining companies.
No, I haven't gone gold bug or paranoid. I'm not dressing up in camo or wearing tin foil on my head to stop radio waves from NSA satellites.
The actual cause was simple. Gold mining stocks had fallen so far out of favor that they had triggered the Bennett Rule—a rule named for my old friend, and money manager extraordinaire, Peter Bennett in London.
Bennett, a private-client money manager with an excellent track record going back 40 years, has an old rule of thumb: Take a modest wager on any durable asset (i.e. not Pets.com) when it has fallen more than about 60% from its peak.
Most of the time, he has found, over the subsequent five years you will do very well indeed. It doesn't always work, but it does most of the time.
Today your average money manager would rather suck a lemon than own shares in a gold mining company.
In April 2011, the Philadelphia index of Gold & Silver miners XAU, -0.60% hit a peak of 229. Near the end of last year it touched 80—a fall of 65%. (It has since rebounded to 91.)
Gold itself has tumbled a long way, from a peak of around $1,900 an ounce in September 2011 to $1,263 now. But the stocks have fallen much further than gold itself.
The Philly index is now at its lowest level, when compared with the actual price of gold, since FactSet began tracking the data in the mid-1980s. I'm betting that gold mining stocks are the cheap way to play gold. The market value of Newmont Mining Corp. NEM, -1.48% the industry bellwether, briefly fell below the value of its net assets.
Gold mining stocks are an "orphan asset" these days. They are generally unwanted and unloved by investors.
Gold bugs don't want them. They think they are paper assets, and therefore rubbish.
Meanwhile, mainstream stock investors don't want them either. They think they're gold—and therefore rubbish.
As a result there is a very good chance they are trading lower than they should be.
I invested money in the Market Vectors Gold Miners exchange-traded fund GDX, -1.28% which simply owns a basket of gold mining stocks.

Ok so i would like to apologize if this is in the wrong spot. Ok well to start off by giving you some background information on what i believe i grew up christian and about a year or so ago i started to wonder why i belive blindly on something i know nothing of so i figured it was do to the fact thats what i have grown up around and my general community is mostly christian. But i have been studying diffrent religions and i know the media makes pagans to be satanist "not to insult anyone who practicess this". But there is something higher than myself telling me to study pagan it has been burning at me for a few months to study it i just have been to lazy honestly. I sayed higher than myself because i meditated on it and have had some thoughts that just says study so im listening to those thoughts. But i need a place to start i have never studyed there teachings dont know any resources to read for them so any help would be GREAT.
Thank you in advance to any post all are welcome.

Per NBC publicity, Go On will not air Tuesday due to continuing storm coverage The New Normal wll also be preempted. More details as they become available.
10/30 AM update:
We posted this yesterday because of something that appeared at the top of a press release concerning a planned conference call about today's Go On episode:
Unfortunately, we need to cancel and reschedule this conference call.
"Go On" is no longer airing tomorrow due to special news coverage of the storm.
But since, NBC aired promotions during primetime last night for both shows, that item in the press release may have been mistaken.
10/30 PM Update: NBC has indeed confirmed that the sitcoms are bumped tonight for the NBC News Special "Sandy's Fury" that will air from 10:01-11p.

CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) — The Department of Energy is taking bids for management of the federal government's nuclear waste repository in southeastern New Mexico.
Contractor Washington TRU Solutions LLC currently oversees the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad, where plutonium-contaminated waste from defense projects is buried in rooms excavated in vast underground salt beds. It's contract was extended last year through 2012.
DOE says it anticipates awarding a five-year contract with an annual value of $135 million a year and an option for a five-year extension.
WIPP is the final disposal destination for more than 6 million cubic feet of stored and newly generated transuranic waste from sites around the country. The waste includes such things as clothing, tools and other debris.

Comments about G&L Tribute Series Legacy HB Electric Guitar - Olive Drab:
The finish on these is great, the neck is perfect - on the thinner side but tapers very little so soloing is VERY easy. No tuning issues at all, the floyd rose is a floyd rose special which are known to have stiff fine tuners, and they are a little stiff, but not NEARLY as bad as a LFR as on a cheap jackson or schecter. The special retains stability very good after many years, so I'm expecting it to hold up after many years of use. No tone complaints, G&L makes wonderful pickups! Coil split is great! Only thing i'd change is giving it a sculpted neck joint.
Comments about G&L Tribute Series Legacy HB Electric Guitar - Olive Drab:
I've just recieved this guitar and might I say the finish is just pure amazing ! and I love how when you pull the tone knob upwards you split the humbuckers into single-coils.pretty good neck, it's rly nice and smooth...3 humbuckers "just wow"...by the way, i could swear that it has a built-in overdrive in the bridge pick up...and the only bad thing in this guitar is the FL...the fine tuning screws just keep getting stuck !
Comments about G&L Tribute Series Legacy HB Electric Guitar - Olive Drab:
I just received mine after pre-ordering and waiting a few weeks for release. This is my first Floyd Rose equipped Tremolo guitar. When I unzipped the nice soft case the B and High E strings were already broken off the saddles. But I reattached the same strings as you can do on Floyd Roses. The ergonomics are classic Strat. The Neck is amazingly smooth and thin up high with nice medium thickness low. Frets seem big and sturdy. Pickups are great. 2 mini blade HB and a full HB at bridge. The Floyd Rose Special is the guitars weakness in quality. The trem bar wiggles too much when locked in. Screws were already rusting out of the box. The fine tuners are getting stuck because threading is warped which means low quality metal. FR setup was a PAIN. It took me an hour to understand it. But once you set it up you are going to bomb and squeal all day and stay in tune.

With the world's thinnest*1 projector-35 mm thin and the brightest screen technology in the world, now enables projection in any mobile environment
any time of the day or night.
No window glare or reflection, video pictures crystal sharp and bright, you will have the perfect reason to stay indoors day or night.
One of the problems using Plasma, or LCD in mobile environments is the weight, heat generated, bulk and cost. Today the Plus Projector & Digital Daytime Screen solution will out perform any other solution in all these categories.
PLUS pushes the design envelope, using a retractable lens and other uniquely innovative technology, to bring you the world's thinnest projector: a never-before possible 35 mm thin! Perfect for mobile home environments.
Brightness: 1,000 lm / Contrast ratio: 2,000:1
It's small and lightweight, but it's also bright: 1,000 lm bright. And with a contrast ratio of 2,000 : 1, it looks even brighter than the specs indicate. Combined with DLD screens you will never complain again about the quality from your projector.
DLP technology for a stable, high-definition image.
At the core of DLP technology is a 100% digitally controlled device called a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD), which was developed by Texas Instruments. DMD's offer a variety of advantages, such as high picture contrast, precise reproduction of digital signals and stable picture quality without image deterioration.
PLUS maximizes these inherent advantages of DLP technology through its own in -house optical expertise. This industry leading expertise has been built on PLUS's years of experience as a pioneer in the design and manufacturing of DLP projectors.
The DLP projection system offers the same superior video performance as the well-known DLP Cinema technology.
The LCD system generates images by first breaking light into the three additive primary colors (RGB) and then recombining them into one. This process can invite color non-uniformity and convergence problems, such as colored fringes around objects. In contrast, the one-chip DLPTM projection system used in PLUS projectors reproduces images through RGB sequential illumination with a color wheel. This allows superb color uniformity, even against solid-color backgrounds. It also ensures perfect color alignment for clear images of small-font text and colorful charts.
The Plus Projector & Digital Daytime Screen solution is available in the following configurations:
Package One
PLUS V3-131 Projector and Digital Daytime 60 inch Motorised Retractable Screen Model #ICEMHG-60. System Package Price $
Package Two
PLUS V3-131 Projector and Digital Daytime 70" Motorised Retractable Screen Model #ICEMHG-70. System Package Price $

While some of the most important mobile phone manufacturers are trying to technologically advance with each device they are throwing on the market, Research in Motion seems to slack big time. Furthermore, it has become well-known that BlackBerries are no low-budget devices, as the company has a pretty narrow market niche, now mostly interested in the email services these smartphones provide.
BlackBerry Tour 9630 is no exception to this and, as a consequence, doesn't come up with anything new, with one tiny exception. As it has been targeted at the North American market, the gadget can be used on two network standards: CDMA and GSM. PureMobile has been kind enough to lend us a brand new BlackBerry Tour 9630, so we can share our thoughts about it.
Launched in July 2009, BlackBerry Tour 9630 was made available on the market the same month. RIM fans can buy the smartphone for around US$350, unlocked and without any plan, but a fee will be required if use on CDMA network is needed.
When it comes to design, BlackBerry smartphones are not surprising at all. I knew how the phone would look like before even opening the sales package. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not a cool-looking phone, but I have yet to see a BlackBerry that doesn't feature the same old "pie" form factor. In the light of those stated above, I would say that for BlackBerry users, there's nothing new compared with some of the latest devices launched by the company. Blackberry Tour 9630 is a standard business phone, stylish, discreet, compact and shiny. Even though it misses the leather-like plastic on the back, I was content with the feel of the gadget when kept in hand.
The phone is surrounded by a silvery metallic stripe for protection against drops. It is all shiny on the back thanks to the plastic used, which, surprisingly, doesn't catche fingerprints. The front part is mostly occupied by the 2.4-inch display and the usual full QWERTY keyboard. Between them, the regular set of keys can be noticed: Accept and Reject calls keys, Menu key and Back key.
The small trackball used for navigation has been included and works really well with most of the applications. The keyboard layout is almost the same as the other recent models. The exception comes from the fact that each key has been "cut" so it will be easier to be pressed, thus giving more responsiveness overall. Moreover, it seems they have been split into two vertically, so the keys on the left part have a small pin to the right, while those on the right part have their pin on the left side. Below the keyboard, you will notice a brand logo depending on what device you have bought: Sprint or Verizon. Above the display, there are an in-call loudspeaker and a small ambient light sensor.
On the right side of the smartphone, there are a 3.5mm audio jack port, a dual volume key, a dedicated camera key and small microUSB port. The left side of the handset has a voice dial command key and a small loudspeaker. On top, there are two almost invisible keys placed on the left and right edges and can be used to lock the device or set it to silent profile. The 3.2-megapixel camera on the back doesn't look to be protected and features a flash LED for night pictures. The microSD slot has been placed under the metallic back cover near the SIM and doesn't imply pulling out the battery.
BlackBerry Tour 9630 measures 112 x 62 x 14.2 mm and weighs 130g (including battery). If you already have the 8900 Curve, you will find this one very similar in terms of design. Overall, the former has a decent solid built and looks pretty stylish for a business phone. Still, those looking for something new from RIM will be disappointed.
Display and Camera
BlackBerry Tour 9630 has a TFT 2.4-inch display, supporting 65k colors and a half-VGA 480x360 pixel resolution. Pretty unusual for a BlackBerry smartphone, but in a positive way, this time. The medium-sized screen does its job very well. Thanks to its different resolution, it is wide enough to provide an immersive Web browsing experience. The quality of the images on the screen is high-standard, with excellent brightness, vivid colors and very good contrast. Also, the screen is perfectly visible in strong sunlight, which has become quite a common thing for the latest smartphones from RIM. Overall, the quality image is pretty high for a BlackBerry business device.
The 3.2-megapixel camera has little protection against scratches, but it includes the autofocus ability, geo-tagging and also an LED flash above. This will enable users to take night pictures, but to really get something that can be tagged as "picture," you will need to be very close to the subject.
Otherwise, the camera interface is rather standard with settings such as: Color Effect, Geo-tagging and Picture Quality. BlackBerry Tour 9630 also includes a dedicated camera button; unfortunately, it was placed in the middle of the right side. This will make shooting a little bit harder, unless you start using the trackball as main shutter.
The maximum resolution for pictures is 2,048x1,536 pixels, while movies can be recorded using a resolution of 480x352 pixels. In terms of performance, Tour 9630 does decent pictures, which won't disappoint a businessman. Even if it's not the best 3-megapixel camera, let's not forget it has been attached to a business smartphone, which doesn't need this feature to be at high standards. The time it takes for the camera to process a picture has been improved and you will be able to take shots pretty fast. Anyway, take a look at the samples below to get a better idea of what 9630's camera can do.
Menu and Software
BlackBerry Tour 9630 runs the BlackBerry 4.7.1 operating system, platform 4.1.0. Nothing new happening to the main menu and graphical user interface: users will get the same eye-candy menus, but that only applies to the surface. As you go deeper and deeper into the menus, you'll find the same boring "black&white" sub-menus, which are also a small issue for Windows Mobile.
The colors of the icons you'll find in the main menu are softly lit in contrast with the dark background, and make a very good impression on the user. The usual Office package, called Documents To Go, developed by DataViz, has been included. Unfortunately, as you can see from the screenshots, you can read or edit Word docs, Excel docs, and PowerPoint presentations, but will have to pay if you want to make new documents.
The phonebook can store an unlimited number of contacts, as long as your available memory allows it. Each contact can be filled with multiple numbers, e-mail addresses, birthday and anniversary information, a picture and a slot for both work and home addresses.
There are also some games that you can play when you're bored: BrickBreaker, WordMole, Texas Hold'em King 2, Sudoku, Klondike. Other applications included are: MemoPad, Tasks, Calculator, Voice Notes Recorder, Voice Dialing, Password Keeper. Of course, there's always the possibility to add more pieces of software, BlackBerry or Java compatible.
Even though the phone can be considered as mid-budget, expect 3G and HSDPA. Users will be able to benefit from EDGE and GPRS class 10 connectivity, but also 7.2Mbps HSDPA and 2Mbps HSUPA. Unfortunately, the thing that hurts most is the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity to reduce Internet browsing or data transfer costs. Although the integrated browser is decent enough, you can easily change it for the MiniOpera browser, which is perfectly compatible.
In terms of messaging, Tour 9630 features the standard BlackBerry package. Should you either want multiple emails or instant messaging, this smartphone has it all. Unfortunately, you will be limited to BlackBerry Internet Service email accounts on the 9630. It only features one instant messaging service – the usual BlackBerry Messenger. Furthermore, to fully integrate the BlackBerry into a company's system, the installation of BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is required. Synchronizing the smartphone with the PC can be made very easily with the Blackberry Desktop Manager. The transfer is very fast, should you either be syncing emails and messages or simply filling your gadget with music files.
If that is still not enough for you, then note that Tour 9630 features a built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS support and BlackBerry Maps. The GPS module works perfectly and completes the technical features of a smartphone that has all the BB fans wanted included in a single device.
Blackberry Tour 9630 is a quad-band GSM (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900), which features GPRS and EDGE, but also HSDPA 2100. As I have already stated in the beginning, it can also be used on CDMA/EVDO Rev A 800/1900 networks, once you pay about 20 USD to receive the activation code. Of course, you won't be able to operate both networks at the same time, but you will be able to switch between them anytime you need. Other connectivity options include the Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and the microUSB for PC synchronization (including charging). I recommend using the dedicated charger found in the sales package, as charging through the USB cable will take more than 2 hours. The call quality is quite good, but cannot be compared with Bold's. The GSM signal is very good over the respective network.
Processor and Memory
BlackBerry Tour 9630 is powered by a single Qualcomm MSM7600 524MHz CPU, which makes it one of the fastest BlackBerries up to date. Overall, it is indeed a snappy device, even if I noticed some hiccups when running more applications. While Bold's CPU is a little bit faster, the difference is barely noticeable, as the technology behind Qualcomm's chipset is quite different from the one used by Bold, which is XScale.
The smartphone embeds 120 MB user free internal storage memory and 256 MB Flash memory, which makes data processing a bit faster. Storage space can be expanded up to 8GB through the hot-swappable microSD slot card.
There's not much to talk about the multimedia, just that it bears the same conservative and business-like look, which is quite understandable as we're talking about a business smartphone. The built-in music player supports album art features, but lacks any Equalizers. It also supports MP3/WMA/AAC+ music files, which can be sorted by Artist, Albums and Genre. Users will be able to make their own playlists within seconds.
Furthermore, the quality of the sound was rather mediocre, especially when using your own headphones. Thanks to the 3.5mm port, you can now change the included headphones, which are not that bad, but seem too big for my ears. One drawback that I noticed was the placing of the 3.5mm jack port on the right side, which will make it almost impossible to carry in the pocket with the headphones inserted.
The music player can be minimized to the background and listening to music through the stereo Bluetooth feature is also possible. The external speaker is loud enough and pretty clear, but the lack of an Equalizer makes the music sound pretty much the same, regardless of the song played. Overall, multimedia features are not out of the ordinary even for a business phone.
The 1400 mAh Li-Ion battery has an officially stated life expectancy of 336 hours in standby, and of about 5 hours in talk-time mode. Our test unit made it for about 2 days at medium use. Heavy users will need daily charging or 5 charges per week. The autonomy is a little bit on the low side, especially for a business phone like BlackBerry that uses lots of services.
I consider Blackberry Tour 9630 a good smartphone, better than many other BlackBerry phones. It looks good, seems solid enough and is fast performance-wise. Lack of Wi-Fi and low battery autonomy might be the only downsides of the device, but the use of CDMA network could counterbalance these.
The Good
Dual-network compatibility and the possibility to use the gadget as a modem in EVDO CDMA are some of its positive aspects. Tour 9630 can also be highlighted for its stylish design, excellent display and QWERTY keyboard. BlackBerry fans will also be delighted to employ RIM's messaging services to their fullest using this device.
The Bad
I think the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity is one of the biggest disappointments regarding the phone's features. When we thought that Wi-Fi would become standard for BlackBerry smartphones, RIM seems to have another idea and missed this feature for Tour 9630. Also, the low autonomy of the 1400 mAh battery is another negative aspect of the device.Sales Package

The Rangers reported it was continued soreness from the strained latissimus dorsi muscle in his shoulder that sent him to the DL in the first place. Team officials said Uehara had some soreness following his Sunday rehab outing performance for Class AAA Round Rock. The club now expects Uehara, who has been out since mid-15, to miss at least another week. Ueahra will step away from the mound for several days to get treatment and then will have to restart his rehab assignment. "He'll definitely need another one to let us know he's good," manager Ron Washington said. "Because he felt discomfort, we're not going to push that. "Maybe this is normal. It might not be anything, but at least he's staying in communication with us on how he feels." With Uehara's ...

Leaders in Home Health Care Service
and Hospice in Mobile
Mercy Medical is the longest-running healthcare facility of its kind. The renowned hospice and home health care service was founded by the Sisters of Mercy, and has faithfully served Mobile and Baldwin Counties since 1949. As a member of Trinity Health, Mercy Medical still remains true to the Sisters' original mission of continuing the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
Though it was originally a convalescent home, Mercy Medical now caters to the healthcare needs of the community in a variety of ways:
1. Mercy Hospice
Mercy Medical brought the first hospice to southern Alabama in 1979. Mercy Hospice is still the only faith-based, non-profit hospice in the area.
2. Mercy Home Care
Mercy Home Care is a not-for-profit, faith-based program offering palliative care for patients who are not ready to go to hospice but need their symptoms managed. Hospice nurses can also visit a patient's home and provide treatments, including infusion medications and pain management. Mercy Home Care provides excellent nursing and therapy services in the home, including physical and occupational therapies to enhance the outcomes and speed recovery.
3. Guardian Angel
Guardian Angel is a pediatric hospice and home health care service pioneered by Mercy Medical in 1998. It still remains the only pediatric program of its kind in southern Alabama.
Mercy Life, the first Program of All Inclusive Care For the Elderly (PACE) in Alabama, was opened by Mercy Medical in the 2012. The program provides hospitalization, physician visits, and a home health care service for the poor and underserved seniors of the area.
5. Project Lifesaver
Another non-profit program for the homebound elderly is Project Lifesaver. Mercy Medical has partnered with police and sheriffs in Mobile and Baldwin Counties to maintain the safety of patients with a tendency to wander. This is accomplished through the use of wristband transmitters that emit signals that can be tracked by law enforcement.
If you or your loved is in need of a home health care service, hospice, or a PACE program, then look no further than Mercy Medical in Mobile, AL. Give us a call today for a consultation.
