FORT MYERS - Luis Gonzalez, Thomas Mayer and T.J. Cresswell have learned the tricks of the trade when it comes to scoring the best Minnesota Twins spring training tickets at Hammond Stadium.
The trio used teamwork to earn the first three spots in line as the Twins box office opened Saturday morning at 8 a.m.
When Twins officials opened the stadium gates at approx. 4 a.m. Saturday, Gonzalez drove his truck through towards the box office with Cresswell and Mayer as his passengers. After Gonzalez dropped them off, the Creswell and Mayer sprinted to their spot at the front of the line, where they set up their sleeping bags and chairs for their four-hour wait.
"Everyone just out of the car and ran to the line while (Gonzalez) parked it," Cresswell said. "There was nobody here."
"You ever watch The Fast and the Furious? It was something like that," Gonzalez said of the vehicles entering the stadium. "The gate opened and everybody took off. It was a sight to see."
The group said they were looking for tickets to see the Twins play the New York Yankees on March 27 or the Philadelphia Phillies on March 13.
The box office will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday next week. Tickets are also available online at minnesotatwins.com.
Mayer is looking forward to watching new Twins infielder Tsuyoshi Nishioka, who will play his first season in the United States after playing professionally in Japan.
"I slept in a chair after we got here," Mayer said of his spot in line. "I am really excited to see (Nishioka) play."
Audrey McIntyre arrived outside the Hammond Stadium gate at 7 p.m. on Friday. There were just two cars in front of her when the gates opened.
She was also one of the first to purchase tickets and was given a Joe Mauer figurine and 2011 Twins calendar as well.
"My husband (John) is a big baseball fan, but he couldn't be here so I was filling in for him," McIntyre said. "He loves the Twins."
The Bonita Springs resident will be going to the see the Phillies, Yankees, New York Mets, Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays.
Bob Levine and Fred Tepper were in line but as supporters of different teams. Levine is a Yankee fan and Tepper likes the Mets. Both were looking for tickets to see the Twins play the Mets on March 16.
Tepper has seen the Twins play the Yankees the past 10 seasons but will miss that game this season.
"I'll be on a cruise," the Fort Myers resident said with a laugh.
Levine and Tepper were towards the back of the line, which at 8 a.m. stretched from the box office back nearly to the closest of the Twins' minor league fields.
Twins mascot T.C. passed out free donuts to fans standing in that line after the box office opened.

Hey there! My name is Sonnet and I am a certified holistic health coach, blogger, cookbook author, and writer with a passion for helping people lead fuller, healthier, and happier lives.
I live in Seattle, Washington with two black cats.
I listen to way too much 90's music.
I'm obsessed with kettlebells.
I probably eat too much kale.
I have a terrible habit of leaving dirty dishes in the sink.
And I adore pugs. Don't even get me started.
Welcome to my blog, I'm so glad you are here.
Since this blog is primarily a food blog, let me say a quick note about how I eat. My focus is on local, seasonal vegetables, organic produce, and whole food as much as possible. I was vegetarian/plant-based from 2006 – April 2013 so in the achieves you'll find a ton of plant-based recipes. Nowadays I adhere much closer to the paleo lifestyle so now you'll find delicious grain-free/gluten-free recipes that include seasonal vegetables and quality animal products, including meat and eggs (no dairy).
Now, I know you're here to learn a little more about me, but let me start by asking you a question: How do you want to feel in your life? Are you currently living your healthiest and happiest life and enjoying it to the fullest?
Many years ago, my answer to that question would definitely have been "no." I wasn't very healthy, I wasn't happy, and I certainly wan't enjoying my life. I knew this wasn't how I wanted to live and so I started making some changes.
It started with changing my diet and beginning to eat real, whole foods. I had grown up eating a lot of processed foods, a ton of sugar, and drinking too many lattes and Diet Cokes. After years of battling various health issues, I knew part of the problem was what I was eating. In 2006, I started teaching myself to cook and began focusing on eating real food made with local, seasonal, and organic ingredients prepared in my own kitchen. This taught me about the importance of listening to my body, connecting with the food I ate, and eating real food.
But, my journey didn't stop there. Along the way I spent time exploring my love of fitness and began to understand that losing weight and/or being skinny didn't equal health. Instead of focusing on fitness for the sake of weight loss like I always had, I began to focus feeling strong and empowered in my body. This lead me to try a variety of new things like, running, cycling, climbing, strength training, yoga, boxing, swimming, barre, Zumba, hiking, and most recently, kettlebells and hot yoga. Today my body feels stronger than it ever has and this means far more to me than how it looks in a bikini.
I believe that living a healthy life has to incorporate more than simply taking care of your physical body. In my journey to become healthier and happier, I've also worked on building a career that I love, strengthening my personal relationships, practicing self-care, finding hobbies that excite and fulfill me, and creating a stronger spiritual connection with the Earth.
This blog is about all of these things. Here you'll find tons of recipes with seasonal ingredients to help you nourish your body and your taste buds, along with tips on green living, DIY natural beauty products, and personal growth and development. You'll also get a good dose of my quirky sense of humor.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you and I hope that we can inspire one another on each of our journeys. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter here to get FREE access to healthy recipes, wellness tips, and fun giveaways!

Forum post
So I have here an "Export" bar with working active buttons....which has various types of expenses we need to export to be imported into accounting software.
So as an example (see image)
The word GENERAL (button with script attached) should be dark gray and NOT BOLD. when all radio buttons in the GENERAL portal are selected.
I've tried so many variations in the conditional formatting and they just don't work.
Here is the current setting for the conditional formatting.
I've also tried conditional formula (where the Radio button only means one value "Y" for yes) I've tried....
(EXPENSES General CY::AMOUNT ≠ 0) & ( EXPENSES General CY::ITEM PAID = 0)
What I need it to do is..to BE BOLD when there is an item added that has a monetary value added and NO RADIO BUTTON selected.
This means that that Item needs to be exported. (I already have exporting scripts that export it and automatically check the radio button after export - very cool)
Your tests need to check an aggregate of all the records in your portal.
To save typing, I did not try to recreate your exact table occurrence::FieldNames, substitute your names for mine:
Here is a test that is true if all portal records have a value in the radio button field:
Count ( Portaltable::NeverEmptyField ) = Count ( portaltable::radiobuttonfield)
Here's a test that is true if all portal records have "paid" in the radio button field
Count ( Portaltable::NeverEmptyField ) = PatternCount ( List ( PortalTable::RadioButtonField ) ; "Paid" )
If the expenses field is empty, you could compare a count of that field to one of the above count methods that count your radio button fields. If it stores the value zero, you may need to add a calculation field such as If ( ExpenseAmount > 0 ; 1 ; "" ) and sum or count it.
"And" instead of "&" was the least of your trouble. Your original expressions only checked the first related record. To set a conditional value list based on all the records in the portal, you need to use other expressions that use either aggregate functions like sum or count or which use List to pull all the values from the related table into a single list of values.
Have you tried any expressions like those I suggested?
You would think this would be simpler..a logical process would be that on the related portal..if any records has a monetary value..and the Radio Button was "empty" = 0..then based on those two factors should result in the formatting
Even if I omit all other projects..would it be searching OTHER projects expenses? and that is why my formula doesn't work?
The expression evaluates from the context of your layout's current record.
If you have this relationship:
Main::PrimaryKey = Child::ForeignKey
From Main, any reference to a single field in Child returns the value of that field from the first related record and the values of this field in the other related records are not referenced.
In the conditional format example you posted, Expenses General CY::amount
Refers only to the amount field in the first row of your portal which would be $4,450.00 if I am interpeting the screen shot correctly.
That's where aggregate functions like count and sum come in. They are designed to span the entire set of related records not just the values in the first record. In similar manner, List ( RelatedTable::Field ) returns a list that combines the values of Field from all related records into a list with each record's value separated by a return character. That's why my suggestions used these functions in order to examine all the values in the portal, not just the values of the first related record.
Thanks all. This is what worked!
Count ( EXPENSES General CY::AMOUNT ) ≠ Count ( EXPENSES General CY::ITEM PAID)
The first item was the "amount" of the expense.
The second item is the radio button ..if the item was clicked PAID or "Y" I use. for "yes paid".
If the count doesn't match..the BOLD gets turned on - beautiful!!

Exeter K9 Aries is shown wearing a new bulletproof vest.
Thumbs Up to the Exeter Police Department for being able to outfit three K-9s with ballistic vests thanks to a nationwide Groupon Event with Vested Interest in K9s Inc., a Massachusetts-based nonprofit.
Vested Interest in K9's mission is to provide bullet- and stab-proof protective vests to dogs in law enforcement throughout the U.S.
The group was selected by Groupon Grassroots for a nationwide fundraising campaign where donations were collected $10 at a time online. Each vest costs $950 and has a five-year warranty. So far, the national campaign has collected more than $300,000.
The Exeter K-9s who have received the vests are:
? Abel, a 4-year-old male Belgian Malinois, assigned to Sergeant Brett Inglehart,
? Aries, a 3-year-old male Belgian Malinois, assigned to Patrol Officer Josh Lowry and
? Meeka, a 2-1/2-year-old female German shepherd, assigned to Officer Mark Durkee.
Last year alone, the nonprofit was able to provide ballistic vests for 163 law enforcement dogs in 30 states. To donate, go to www.vik9s.org .
Thumbs up to the Tulare County Farm Bureau's Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee, which was named the 2013 YF&R Committee of the Year by the state bureau committee.
The honor was bestowed during the statewide YF&R Leadership Conference held last week in Visalia.
The Tulare County YF&R Committee was selected from among nearly 20 California committees for their Farm to Fork program, the annual Grocery Cart Race, Casino Night fundraiser and summer water tours.
Attendees at the three-day conference toured local agriculture operations, took part in leadership development workshops and worked with fellow agriculture leaders and YF&R members.
Special honors were awarded to Daniel Meza of San Joaquin County and Levy Randolph, a student attending California State University, Fresno, for the annual speech contest that took place during the conference.
The Farm Bureau's YF&R program is open to anyone between the ages of 18 and 35 involved in production agriculture and other allied industries.

Ichabods sounds like a wonderful little operation in New Orleans who describe themselves as a group of textile artists. Not only do they have some very cool (like the Robot Rock), very unique designs, they donate 10% of the sale to the charity of your choice. In what seems to be the spirit of New Orleans they also have a band promotion page, so hit them up if you have a band to promote.
3 Responses to "Robot Rock, made in New Orleans by ichabods"
[...] Ichabods: Some seriously good designs from New Orleans, they have a decent range of hoodies so I'll be giving them a better look later. [see what the Tcritic had to say] [...]

These newly weds are captured from the eye of a camera lens at sunset, it depicts a traditional wedding scene from West Africa. The bride is richly dressed in pearls and gold, and the use of Kente fabric on this day is traditional, royal, and very original.
A lot of gold and pearl beads have been put into this art work making it so enriching to look at and touch, but I prefer to leave it in silhouette form in order to leave a lot to the imagination
Love it.. Would love to see it closer up.
This is really beautiful, the colours are so rich and the story is so romantic, would love to see it close-up. Great art.

Citzens question validity of meeting
Houston County Courier - August 2009
As Housing Authority of the city of Crockett Chairman Jack Barbee attempted to call roll to establish a quorum for the special meeting held on Tuesday, Aug. 25, John Jenkins spoke out protesting the validity of the meeting. Jenkins said there were no sign-in sheets for the public so they can speak and no copies of the agenda were available to allow the public to know what was on the agenda.
Housing Authority Attorney Bill Pemberton told Jenkins he was out of order.
Jenkins than said, "We the people are the ones here that are concerned."
Barbee responded by telling Jenkins there would be a place in the meeting for the public to speak and then began the roll call with members Wayne Tubbs, Karen Johnson and Barbee present. Members absent from the meeting included Dale Clark and Dorothy Wyatt. Bridget Lamb resigned and Crockett Mayor Wayne Mask replaced her with Johnson.
Once a quorum was established, members approved the minutes of the Wednesday, Aug. 19 meeting and Jenkins asked for a copy of the agenda, which he was provided.
Barbee then said that members would go into executive session to consider personnel matters.
While bantering back and forth with Barbee, Jenkins said "You are in violation of procedures that are set forth before you. You do not have the right to go into executive session on a personnel matter."
Barbee responded by saying, "We think we do."
The tense exchange between Barbee and Jenkins continued until member Wayne Tubbs told him that if he interrupted the meeting one more time they may have to have him escorted out; that they were just trying to get the meeting started.
Three Crockett Police Department officers approached Jenkins and asked him to be seated and he complied.
The meeting continued and members went into executive session.
Before members retired to executive session, Housing Authority employee John Pigford spoke out saying he had been off work for seven days and would like the opportunity to speak before they went into executive session. Addressing Barbee, he said, "I never got a notice. I never got anything. You, yourself Mr. Barbee, looked me in the eye and told me that."
Housing Authority employee Penny Thornton spoke out saying the employees had the right to ask that the meeting stay open.
CPD officers then instructed citizens to leave the room to allow members to adjourn to executive session.
Members were adjourned in executive session for about 40 minutes.
When they returned, members voted on three personnel issues.
Members voted to terminate maintenance employee Ronald Cook.
Members voted to table a decision on the employment of security personnel Mike Molnes.
Members voted not to terminate maintenance employee Pigford.
Members returned to closed session to discuss naming an interim director and named Otis Bryan to that position.
Bryan will begin in the position on Monday, Aug. 31 and Johnson said he would contact employees regarding their status.
Members also approved a mandatory drug testing policy in place.
Barbee then called for public comments and limited citizens to five minutes.
Jenkins and Ms. Thornton reiterated their positions on the closing of the offices and validity of the meeting.
Renee Minter, former Housing Authority executive director, said "You terminated me and I've never met you." She then addressed Pemberton regarding what she considered a conflict of interest saying he represented Mandy Nash.
Pemberton replied by saying he did not represent Ms. Nash and she could check the records at the courthouse.
Two residents of the Housing Authority spoke praising the maintenance department and security. Both also asked if they could be notified of future meetings.

Peter Sanderson has extensive experience on infrastructure megaprojects; will be responsible for keeping project on schedule and within budget
To help ensure that the New NY Bridge to replace the Tappan Zee remains on schedule and within budget, the New York State Thruway Authority has named Peter Sanderson project director for the multi-billion dollar project, Thruway Chairman Howard P. Milstein announced today.
Sanderson will be responsible for leading a blended team of state employees and private sector design and construction experts to complete the new structure. He has more than 40 years of experience working on cable-stayed and other large and complex bridges throughout North America and around the world, including design-build infrastructure projects.
"The project director will be responsible for keeping the New NY Bridge on schedule and within budget, and Peter Sanderson is an outstanding choice for this role because he has extensive experience and a proven track record," Milstein said. "Hiring an experienced project director is necessary and expected for a project of this size and complexity, and is generally viewed as an industry best practice."
Sanderson was project manager for the design-build contract to replace the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge in Minneapolis, which collapsed in 2007. The new bridge was opened to traffic just 11 months after the tragedy and three months ahead of an already accelerated 14-month schedule. He was also principal-in-charge for the Sagadahoc Bridge connecting Bath and Woolwich, Maine, the Maine Department of Transportation's first design-build project, as well as the Clark Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge in St. Louis, Missouri, that was completed ahead of schedule.
"Peter Sanderson was a tremendous project manager for the new I-35W bridge at a very critical time in Minnesota's history," said Tom Sorel, who was Minnesota Department of Transportation Commissioner when the bridge was being constructed and is currently president and CEO of the American Automobile Association in Minneapolis. "Not only did he lead the delivery of the project in an exceptional manner, he realized that the building of the new bridge represented a healing process for an entire community and did all he could to rebuild public trust and confidence in the transportation industry."
"Given the scale of the New NY Bridge project, hiring a project director is a proven method to control costs and keep a project on schedule, and has been used effectively on many major transportation infrastructure projects around the country in recent years," said American Road and Transportation Builders Association President and CEO Dr. Peter Ruane. "The project director will play a vitally important role not only with the design-build team, but also with the community and other stakeholders. This project has worldwide importance and I commend New York State for recognizing the need for experienced, professional management."
"Peter Sanderson brings an incredible breadth of knowledge, experience, and leadership to this Tappan Zee Bridge project," said Business Council of Westchester President & CEO Dr. Marsha Gordon. "This is another example of how the new New York attracts the best talent to lead our state forward. The Business Council of Westchester looks forward to welcoming Peter Sanderson and creating many bridges for him to our members and the community."
"The appointment of Peter Sanderson as Project Manager for the Tappan Zee Bridge and the wealth of industry experience he brings to this crucial project is another significant step forward toward the long overdue replacement of one of New York's most critical pieces of transportation infrastructure," said Mike Elmendorf, president & CEO of the Associated General Contractors of New York State. "We applaud Governor Cuomo, the Thruway Authority and New York State Department of Transportation for their dogged commitment to moving this project forward with unprecedented speed, as well as the bright light this process has shined on our significant infrastructure needs throughout New York."
"The Hudson Valley region's construction industry is thrilled with Thruway Authority's appointment of Peter Sanderson as New NY Bridge Project Director, continuing the campaign to assemble world-class bridge builders who will deliver a Hudson River crossing to serve New York State taxpayers, road and mass transit users over the next century and beyond," said Construction Industry Council of Westchester and Hudson Valley President Ross J. Pepe.
"With the addition of Peter Sanderson to the New NY Bridge project, Governor Cuomo and the Thruway Authority have taken another major step forward," said Secretary of the New York Roadway and Infrastructure Coalition Stephen Morgan. "The New York Roadway and Infrastructure Coalition commends the administration for reaching out and getting the best team to build this most exciting and needed project."
"Peter Sanderson's vast engineering and construction experience, combined with his decades of experience leading complex infrastructure projects, make him the perfect choice to head the new NY Bridge initiative," said New York Building Congress President Richard T. Anderson. "We at the Building Congress applaud the Cuomo administration for selecting an industry veteran with a sterling reputation for completing major projects on time and on budget. No single infrastructure project is more important to the long-term economic vitality of the entire downstate region than the construction of a safe, modern and larger capacity crossing to replace the obsolete Tappan Zee Bridge."
The official project budget and schedule will be available on line at www.newnybridge.com starting in May. This will give the public the ability to track progress on the project and monitor the delivery team's performance. Project costs will be updated and compared with the budget on a quarterly basis.
The New NY Bridge project is the largest transportation design-build project to date in the United States and the largest single construction contract in New York State history. Under the design-build process, engineering and construction firms join forces to compete for a single contract that covers both design and construction, and bids are selected based on best value offered. Design-build contracts foster private-sector creativity and innovation, shift risk, limit project delays and keep costs down.

First Gibb-Harrell ZL1 Camaro sells for $400,000
Photos courtesy Mecum
The cars nearly bankrupted him, but if Fred Gibb is known for anything among Chevrolet performance enthusiasts, it's for convincing Chevrolet to fit the storied all-aluminum ZL1 427-cu.in. V-8 into a handful of Camaros, thus creating one of the fiercest and fastest cars on the dragstrip. This past weekend, the first of those cars hammered at Mecum's Spring Classic auction in Indianapolis for $400,000, a figure some are already calling the deal of a lifetime.
Gibb, who had been selling Chevrolets in the town of LaHarpe, Illinois, since 1948, didn't embrace racing as a means to selling more cars until Herb Fox, one of his salesmen, bought a 1967 Camaro Z/28 and introduced Gibb to Dick Harrell. The next year, Gibb began to use his contacts at Chevrolet to order special cars through the Central Office Production Order system, starting with a small fleet of L78/TH400-powered Chevy IIs. Those sold well, so the next year, Gibb went all-out and pulled some strings at Chevrolet to have the ZL1 – developed for Can-Am racing and not slated for production use – installed in 50 1969 Camaros. The first of those 50 Gibb reserved for Fox to race with the Gibb and Harrell names lettered across the sides. According to Mecum's description:
The first and second ZL1 Camaros arrived at Fred Gibb Chevrolet covered in snow on New Year's Eve, 1968. It was so cold the cars would not start and had to be towed off the transporter. The first car was immediately sent to Dick Harrell's Kansas City, Missouri, shop, where Harrell readied it for its scheduled debut at the 1969 AHRA Winternationals three weeks later at Phoenix. Piloted by Gibb Chevrolet employee Herb Fox, the car served notice on its competitors that trouble lay on the horizon when it beat the two top qualifiers before losing in the semi-final to eventual winner Arlen Vanke's Barracuda. The most alarming part of the day for the Mopar contingent came when Fox eliminated Mr. Four-Speed himself, Ronnie Sox, in the Sox & Martin Hemi Barracuda.
Harrell demonstrated the car's performance for Super Stock magazine in February 1969, turning 10.41 at 128.10 MPH with the stock Holley 850, and 10.29 with dual 660 Holleys on a Weiand tunnel-ram. The Gibb-Harrell ZL1 Camaro then barnstormed the country, racking up victories in both AHRA and NHRA competition. In 1971, the car was converted to the new AHRA Pro Stock rules and driven by Jim Hayter, who set the AHRA Pro Stock record of 9.63 at 143 MPH and won the AHRA Championship in both Super Stock and Pro Stock.
Afterward, the Camaro languished in semi obscurity until Bill Porterfield located, purchased, and restored it in the 1980s. As for the ZL1, it wound up in just 69 total Camaros and two Corvettes, and documented ZL-1-equipped Camaros – sans Gibb Harrell and Fox provenance – have sold for as much as $800,000 in the past.
The Camaro's status as the first ZL1 didn't land it the top spot at the auction, however. That went to another big-block Chevrolet, a one-of-13 1968 Corvette L88 convertible that still runs its original big-block/M22 four-speed drivetrain and comes with its original factory invoice. Restored using only NOS parts, Bloomington Gold gave it a score of 98.2 and the National Corvette Restorers Society awarded it their Top Flight award. It sold for $600,000.
In fact, Chevrolets fairly dominated the top 10 list at the auction. The rest of the top 10 included a 1969 Chevrolet Yenko Nova that sold for $475,000; a 1933 Lincoln KB Phaeton that sold for $375,000; a 1967 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro that sold for $325,000; a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette that sold for $322,500; a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle LS6 Convertible that sold for $260,000; a 1963 Ferrari 250 Drogo Speciale that sold for $260,000; a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 Fastback that sold for $250,000; and Don Prudhomme's Pepsi Challenger 1982 Pontiac Trans Am Funny Car that sold for $250,000.
On the other end of the scale, a number of collector cars sold for less than $5,000, including a 1977 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce that sold for $3,250; a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Classic that sold for $3,500; a 1954 Dodge Royal four-door that sold for $3,700; a 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE that sold for $4,500; a 1976 Ford Maverick that also sold for $4,500; a 1966 Ford Ranchero that sold for $4,750; and a 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 that also sold for $4,750.

UPDATE (25.May 2012): According to Mecum, nearly 70 percent of the 2,984 lots at the auction sold for a total sales amount of more than $52.6 million.

Truck-Lite Adds Auxiliary Work & Spot Lamps to 7" Round LED Product Offering
Truck-Lite Adds Auxiliary Work & Spot
Lamps to 7" Round LED Product Offering
October, 2011, Falconer, New York - - With an overwhelming response to the World's First 7" Round LED Head Lamp, Truck-Lite is announcing the release of complimentary 7" round LED Auxiliary Work & Spot Lamps. These new lighting products provide the end-user with high output beam patterns, supplying a general and long distance illumination, while offering the extended life and energy efficiency of light emitting diode technology.
Much like the 7" Round LED Headlamp, the auxiliary spot & work lamps were driven by the success and popularity of a similar military design and it's robust, battle proven construction. Available in 12 & 24 volt versions, the ten diode lighting pattern means brighter, crisper and whiter light output than incandescent alternatives, which has since become standard among Truck-Lite LED products.
The spot lamp generates a long, narrow light pattern, illuminating objects in the distance, whereas the work lamp creates a rectangular pattern, more suitable for general auxiliary use. The lamps provide a peak candlepower output of 3,000 for the work lamp and 45,000 for the spot lamp, in turn generating a massive amount of light.
"Recognizing the potential in our white lighting technology, these lamps now offer the general and long distance illumination that many of the current products out there on the market fall short of providing for the end-user." stated John Howells, Truck-Lite's VP of Sales, "The US Military has put thousands of these work & spot lamps to the test in the harshest battle conditions in Iraq & Afghanistan. The product is tank-tough and can withstand rugged terrain to extreme weather challenges most lamps succumb to. With tremendous feedback, we look to expand upon the advancements made in forward lighting and will continue to grow the success of this line."
Much like the LED Headlamp, the spot and work series creates a white light, closer to the color temperature of daylight, in turn improving overall visibility. These solid-state lamps are a great solution to applications in need of additional lighting. The lamps are composed of epoxy encapsulated electronics, resistant to damage from shock & vibration. The hard-coated, non-yellowing, polycarbonate lens also offers 30 times more impact strength than glass. The 7" Round Auxiliary work & spot lamp's robust design, coupled with the heavy duty mounting is ideal for off-road, construction, agricultural and utility applications. The versatility of this lamp provides superior LED technology in a 7" round package.
In addition, Truck-Lite also offers several mounting options for the 7" round auxiliary lamp series. The heavy duty brackets and hardware have undergone an electro-coat process, providing a more uniform finish as well as 1000 hours of corrosion protection. Both lamps can now be installed using an Integrated Mounting Bracket, the 00872 short bracket or the 00874 long bracket. The Integrated Mounting Bracket is essentially a modified housing, which incorporates its own mounting bracket that attaches onto the base of the lamp. The short & tall brackets are offered to enclose the standard lamps, providing a ½" mounting hole to secure the brackets to the application.
Truck-Lite Co., Inc. is headquartered in Falconer New York, with additional manufacturing facilities in Wellsboro, Coudersport, and McElhattan, Pennsylvania, as well as Birmingham and Harlow England, and other facilities around the world. Truck-Lite is a major producer of signal lighting, forward lighting, wiring harnesses, mirrors, turn signal switches, and safety accessories to the heavy duty truck, trailer, and commercial vehicle industries.

Consepcion was taking the Michigan turn to head back north on U.S. 31, but pulled off at a former bank property on the southeast corner of U.S. 31 and Robbins Road, and got her children out the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier. By then, she was seeing flames under the dash, Palm said.
Firefighters were called to the scene about 8:15 a.m. and saw the car fully involved in flames when they arrived.
The car was a total loss, Palm said. He estimated its value at near $2,000.
The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time, he said.

Written by: Netta521
Dimanche 02 Novembre 20141/5
I bought this for my maxi-cosi mico car seat to adapt on my smart stroller. I called customer service to make sure that it's compatible and although it does click into the car seat - it's not at a good angle for my baby - and it is very very difficult to get the car seat off once you've put it on. It almost feels hazardous because it's a struggle to get the car seat off the stroller. So think about this - mom, baby, car and parking lot. Mom struggling with car seat, baby crying - people waiting for parking spot. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Needless to say, I hope I can return it and get a refund. My Britax stroller and car seat may not be attractive like the smart stroller combined with the mico carseat but it's reliable and I am able to get my baby on and off the stroller and into my car with no problems.
Thanks %user_name%

Interfaith: Religious heroines remembered for Women's History Month
March is the month when outstanding women in history are remembered and honored. I am drawn to three religious heroines who changed the world they lived in.
One won a war against the oppression of her people; one prevented a war by her wisdom and diplomacy and one waged a worldwide battle for health against sickness.
The tie that bound these women together was their absolute faith in God. They partnered with him, made him their steadfast companion, placing him at the center of their lives.
Deborah was a prophetess and a judge in Israel. Her gift of leadership delivered her people from tyranny and brought victory in war. She was so confident in God as the sole liberator that she insisted the honor and glory be given only to him. In triumph, she sang, "I will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel," Judges 5:3.
Abigail was a wise diplomat and the Bible says "a woman of good understanding." These qualities served her extremely well, for they undoubtedly aborted a war between the future King David of Israel and her disagreeable husband. Because her husband refused to be neighborly, when David and his men had been amiable, swords were drawn.
Abigail quickly brought peace to this scene of provocation. She humbled herself before David, providing food and drink for him and his band of young men.
Her hospitable graciousness caused David to say to her, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which has kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand," 1 Samuel 25:32, 33.
A 19th century New England woman inspires me most of all because of her dedication to establishing a health care system that emulated Christ Jesus' healing works in the first century. Mary Baker Eddy's great desire was to heal spiritually as the Savior did. Indeed, as he said we could if we believed in him, John 14:12.
A woman ahead of her time, Eddy was healed of injuries from a life-threatening accident by reading one of Christ's biblical healings. She wanted to discover the principle behind such healings, and through prayer, a deep searching of the Scriptures and a total reliance on God, she wrote her major work "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
It is a textbook for all humanity, and for more than a century has met the spiritual needs of those burdened with sickness, sin and sorrow. Its teachings abolish fear and bring freedom to "every ill that flesh is heir to."
Like the master, Eddy was disparaged and discredited by the scoffers of her day. Still she labored on, expounding Christ's healing message.
Through the struggles she faced in founding Christian Science, which can be described as her understanding of the knowledge of Christ, Eddy's achievements were ultimately crowned with praise. Here is a worthy tribute from a 1895 Boston newspaper, written at the time her Mother Church was erected in that city:
"She is the apostle of the true, the beautiful, the good ... Hers is the mission of missions — the highest of all — to make the body not the prison, but the palace of the soul ... With the assurance of faith she prays, with the certainty of inspiration she works, and with the patience of genius she waits."
Women of such character, who have honored God and uplifted others, will live on throughout eternity.

Group One winner Zabeelionaire will not be seen this spring.
Trainer Leon Corstens said connections had elected to spell last year's South Australian Derby winner, who also finished sixth in the 2012 Caulfield Cup.
Zabeelionaire hasn't won since his SA Derby success 16 months ago and was last seen in an unsuccessful two-start Queensland winter campaign thwarted by rain.
"We've elected to turn him out thinking all we are going to get is wet tracks and then (last) Saturday turns out to be a good three," Corstens said.
"But what can you do?"
Corstens said he would look to the autumn with the son of Zabeel.
"We just got sick and tired of waiting for tracks to dry out," Corstens said.
While Corstens ruled out a spring campaign for Zabeelionare, Group One-winning stablemate Commanding Jewel is set to kick off her campaign at Moonee Valley on Saturday in the Listed Carlyon Stakes.
Zabeelionaire is a full brother to Queensland Oaks winner Gondokoro who is trained by Pat Carey.
Their dam, Kisumu, was euthanised earlier this year.
Her owner Trevor Delroy sent the mare to Zabeel each year of her breeding career, selling her colts and retaining her fillies.
Her last foal is a filly born in October last year.

As healthcare costs continue to escalate, new study results have suggested an integrative approach to treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may bring both health and economic benefits.
Researchers from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at the Maxima Medical Centre in Veldhoven, Netherlands, studied patients with mild to moderate COPD. They divided them into two groups, one of which received usual care and the other underwent an interdisciplinary, community-based program (INTERCOM), according to Medical News Today.
INTERCOM included intensive lifestyle moderation phase of four months, during which participants performed two 15-minute intervals of walking or cycling, and it provided proper nutrition and smoking cessation counseling.
The article reports that there was a 20-month maintenance period after the intense introductory phase, and the researchers found that during that time those who participated in the program experienced significant improvements in health status, exercise capacity and shortness of breath symptoms, compared to those who did not.
The results, which were presented at the 105th international conference of the American Thoracic Society in San Diego, come on the heels of another study published earlier this year which found that COPD patients may benefit from a diet rich in antioxidant vitamins A, C and E as well as omega-3 fatty acids.

Time stamp format in database
Can anybody tell me how to convert TIME_STAMP field in SEPM tables to an understandable format?
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Check this Thread:
Ian_C states provides the Answer:
A lot of queries with time stamps have this format
dateadd(s,convert(bigint,[TIME_STAMP])/1000,' 01-01-1970 00:00:00') as [Calculated Time Stamp]
To display the time field in your local time zone, change the '00:00:00' field after 1970 to your timezone offset from UTC.
PS I guess, but am not sure, that for people west of the Greenwich meridian, that time would be in 1969?
PPS Don't forget the DST offset too.
As a header to your query, place the following two lines before your select statement
DECLARE @TimeZoneDiff int SELECT @TimeZoneDiff = datediff(minute, getutcdate(), getdate())
The first two lines declare the variable called @TimeZoneDiff and give it a value in minutes the offset from UTC. I don't know if this is based on the TZ of your work station or the TZ of the server where the DB is hosted.
Then, where ever you select a time field from the database, replace [TIME_STAMP] with the name of the field in this line:
dateadd(minute, @TimeZoneDiff, dateadd(second, [TIME_STAMP]/1000, '01/01/1970')) AS [Time Stamp]
This last line adds the TZ offset in minutes to the [TIME_STAMP] field to show the value in your local time.
Yip, this means several queries will have to be updated.
Hope that helps!!

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
Still, see what you're saying. You don't read about Patrick Stewart hoping for a positive portrayal of bald, Englishmen or Kate Mulgrew harping about white women.
Still it was a good interview and I blv DS9 still holds a very place in his heart and mind. I'm just glad he didn't wax weird like he's very capable of.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
But yeah, the way in which he was talking makes me think that the questions were designed to angle into the race issue, and Mr Brooks hadn't brought them up himself.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
I haven't read any Stewart or Mulgrew interviews lately, but at least for Mulgrew, I would bet dollars to donuts, that she has been asked or has commented on what it was like to play a female captain before and the impact of that. What I have noticed though in the US is that when the media refers to 'women' they are usually referring to white women. If there is an issue pertaining to black women, they will specify black women. They do the same thing for men, but it seems more noticeable to me when they do it for woman.
As for Patrick Stewart, he is part of the most dominant racial/gender group, so the kinds of questions he gets are not going to be related to the history making aspect of his role, I'm guessing.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
Kate Mulgrew has talked about the need to be a positive role model for women in her portrayal of Captain Janeway.
Like it or not, inequality and oppression, both sexual and racial, both exist. Until it is ended, it is completely valid for artists from those oppressed communities to bring it up as motivating factors in their work.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
I'm starting to think the real reason that racism still exists is because the people who were oppressed in the past or had ancestors who were oppressed for whatever reason don't want to let it go, and the white kids today go into overkill to prove how enlightened they are.
Okay, I've had my say, now let's see how I get dismissed as an evil racist, when all I did was express an opinion.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
But I feel Avery Brooks answering questions about it when prompted isn't really annoying, considering the fact that he played a rather rare character type (well adjusted black single father) on top of being the captain on DS9.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
And to the larger point about racism and this nice little idea that some folks have that mentioning racism is the same as racism, the new racism, or worse than historic racism, I've often heard this refrain along the lines of 'just let it go'. Well, how do you let racial disparities that might affect your life outcome or those of your family or children 'go' exactly? And when it comes to history should just omit the history of racism in the US? But wouldn't that be teaching a false history? And the truth is out there or it will come out anyway, so why not be keep it real and tell all of it? Maybe it might ultimately lead to greater empathy and understanding.
As a black man, I don't have the luxury of burying my head in the sand and pretending that if we don't talk about race or act on racial disparities it will just go away. It doesn't. We have achieved the progress we have thus far because many people stood up, people 'shoved it down' people's throats and made them face the racism in the country, made them see the hypocrisy of segregation and racism in a democratic country.
It wasn't a natural evolution, it took the work and blood of blacks, whites, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians, straight and gay Americans. And many have benefited, whites included, as a result of the long struggle for civil and human rights. But when you look at continuing racial disparities and see reports about resegregation of schools, etc. this goes beyond people merely not 'letting something go' to issues of structural inequality.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
Obama is black, but he is also white. And I remember reports right before his inauguration where whites felt that he wasn't really black. And early in his candidacy his 'exoticism' was played up, as was his comfortableness around whites and they around him. So I think these things helped him. Obama came across as the 'right' kind of black person. And he has followed in a tradition of black technocrats who minimize issues involving race.
Of course that works well to appeal to some white voters but it handicaps the black technocrats from addressing issues concerning race or racial disparities, if they are concerned about addressing them at all, and in some cases that is debatable. Because everyone-including many blacks-are so intent to get the issue of race behind them (thought without really doing anything about it). It's like having a disease and thinking if you don't get it diagnosed or talk about it, it will go away.
Also, Obama has presided-not entirely his fault-over catastrophic economic times for black Americans, where the racial disparities have been uncovered and are stark. So racism and/or inequality still does exist, even in Obama's America. Cynically, especially in Obama's America because he has less room to maneuver than a white President does to address racial disparities. Despite the terrible times for blacks, there were some polls done a year or two ago where whites feel that blacks are benefiting from the Obama administration more.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
The United States has made enormous strides in gaining racial equality, but the fact that it has an African-American President does not mean that oppression against African-Americans has ended.
I don't know you well and I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that you're an evil racist. But you're obviously blind to your own racial privilege.

Re: Interview with Avery Brooks
Having been subjected to racially-driven verbal abuse on many occasions in my job, sometimes extremely hurtful because of the false accusations involved, Brooks' statements here aren't anything like that. I cannot equate this with any sort of destructive agenda.
BTW, is it bad that I misread Photon's statement as implying that "Q made him" provide those responses, at first?

Beloit College is head back to the Midwest Conference Baseball Tournament thanks to some help from a familiar foe.
The appearance for Bucs is their second in as many seasons and third in the last four seasons.
Beloit, who finished the Conference season on April 30 with a split of their MWC series with Ripon, had to sweat out the season-ending series between St. Norbert and Ripon to see what their post-season fortunes were. St. Norbert's wins in the first three games got the Buccaneers into the Tourney as the #2 seed in the North Division.
The Buccaneers will take on the South Division's #1 seed, and Tournament host, Grinnell College at 9:00 a.m. on Friday morning. St. Norbert, the North's #1 seed, will play the South's #2 seed Knox College at William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa, also at 9:00 a.m., in the other opening game.
After those first two games all games will be played at Grinnell.
The winner of the Tournament earns the MWC Championship and a berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament, which begins on May 16 at eight Regional sites.

The number of people out of work in France jumped in October, according to data released by the Labor Ministry on Tuesday (November 27), hitting its highest over 14 years and piling pressure on President Francois Hollande's government to stop the tide of job losses. The data showed the number of registered job seekers in mainland France rose by 45,400 in October to 3.103 million, taking the total to its highest level since April 1998. Unemployment has been rising for 18 straight months in France. The labour ministry said there was a risk the figures could get worse and that measures taken so far had yet to produce results. The Socialist government unveiled a package of measures at the start of the month, including tax rebates for companies, aimed at boosting France's industrial competitiveness and safeguarding jobs.

What Is Powerbocking?
Powerbocking is the act of jumping and running with elastic-like spring-loaded stilts. For some it is an extreme sport, for others it is a form of exercise or even a means of artistic expression. The use of the stilts to perform extreme jumping, running and acrobatics is known as 'Bocking' or 'PowerBocking' after the inventor.The stilts themselves are often referred to generically as bocks or powerbocks, or by their brand name.
Each boot consists of a foot-plate with snowboard type bindings, rubber foot pad which is also commonly called a hoof, and a fibreglass leaf spring. Using only their weight, and few movements, the user is generally able to jump 3–5 ft (1–1.5 metres) off the ground and run up to 20 mph (32 km/h). They also give the ability to take up to 9-foot (2.7 metres) strides.
Jumping stilts were used in the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing.

Head coach Gary Gold comfortable with Bath expectations
Bath head coach Gary Gold has said he is comfortable with the expectations from the club and supporters.
The 44-year-old South African joined in May as part of a new backroom team that included Toby Booth, Neal Hatley, Mike Ford and Brad Davis.
"I come from a background in Cape Town where levels of expectation are as high as they are here in Bath," he told BBC Points West.
"I'm used to expectations and I'm happy with them, I'm excited about them."
Bath's new-look backroom
Gary Gold - head coach
Previously coached Springboks, London Irish, Super 15 side Stormers and Newcastle Falcons
Toby Booth - Forwards coach
Spent a decade with London Irish - four years as head coach
Neal Hatley - Forwards coach
Former London Irish prop and youth academy coach
Mike Ford - Defence coach
Former Rugby League player; Ex-defence coach with England and British and Irish Lions. Worked with Gold at Newcastle
Brad Davis - Skills/Attack coach
Former Rugby League player; Defence and skills coach at Bath since 2006
Gold gained Premiership experience during a three-season stint with London Irish before joining Super Rugby franchise the Stormers, and then filling in as head coach at Western Province.
He went on to spend four years as forwards specialist with South Africa under head coach Peter de Villiers.
"Western Province is a proud, traditional rugby province just like Bath is a traditional rugby club," Gold added.
"The similarities are certainly there and, with the last four years coaching the national team, I don't need to tell you how passionate the South Africans are about their rugby.
"We're here to do a job and the expectations are we have to become a winning team as quickly as possible."
Gold has taken over after a disappointing year with Ian McGeechan at the Rec, where the club failed to win any trophies or qualify for the Heineken Cup.
Gary Gold Bath head coach
"We'll play a brand of rugby where we want to score tries"
He moved to Bath following a five-month stint at Newcastle where, although he managed to turn around results, was unable to stop the Falcons from finishing bottom of the Premiership.
"I think what's really important is that supporters have become used to the fact the club hasn't won trophies in nine years," Gold added.
"We need to put ourselves into a position where we're competitive and regularly get into finals.
"The way we get there is going to be a pragmatic approach. We'll play a brand of rugby where we want to score tries, that's why we play the game.
"I'm excited about this group of players. I don't think they're far off being a fiercely competitive team."
