Hello all,
Looking for some new lights for my road bike. I'm going to be putting on one of those seatpost only mounted rear racks, which would occupy where my light is now. I think if I make use of the (currently empty) rear reflector mount, I might be covered, as I didn't see any of those kinds of racks that have easy light mounts built in (though I'm going with a QR rack, so it's better I have something attached to the frame anyways). While I'm at it, I'm also interested in front lights as well, though I've got stem enough for something else, too.

Parentlink: Do You Use It? And Should You?Sunny Chanel
Often there is a disconnect between school and home, one that should not exist. Parents should be in the loop on what's happening with not just their child but the community as a whole. Parentlink is there to fill that gap.
What is Parentlink?
Their website states that "ParentLink increases student achievement through communication. We link principals, teachers, parents, students and the community together through our web portal, email messaging, phone notifications, SMS text messaging, and printed letters."
Their snow day calls for winter struck areas are a popular alert. But they'll also let you know if your kid doesn't show up to school, alert you to busing situations, and allow the school to have their calls translated into the students home language. Parentlink also claims they can aid in identifying "at risk" students.
Parentlink's popularity is growing and they say that can customize their program for every school size. But can all school afford another service in their already strapped budgets? Personally, I have not used the service, but it seems like a useful tool to bridge that school to home gap.
Does your school use Parentlink? What do you think of the service?

In the chemical process industry. the problem of constantly feeding the proper a'mourtt'of agiven chemical to the chemical process is well knownjA basiccontrol system mayemploy a chemical tank containing.detectingmeans for detecting the; chemical balance ofthepr'ocess and means forfeeding chemicals to the tank whenever the detectingmeans signifiesa chemical balance over or'under, adesired set-point.
' An example of a basic control system'is shown in FIG. lof the drawings wherein there is showndiagrammatically a. precipitator containing aninlet trough 12, mixing-zone l4, upflow zone l6-and clearwell 18. A lime feed pump is used to feed lime from a lime tank 22tothe'precipitator'lll by means of theconduit 23, 25 and 27,. at ajratecontrolledbya control device 24.

Referring now more particularly to FIG.- 2, the deviation signal isreceived fromthe pl-Lprobe 28 by a second means 34 which serves to convert the detecting signal to a first resistancesignal andtotransmitthis first resistancesignal to an increment-timer 36 by means Ofiht? electrical conduit 38; The increment timer36 serves to control the flow of electrical current from an external electrical current source flowing by electrical conduit 40 to athird means vJZhy means of the electrical conduit .44. The third means 42 is also responsive to the deviation signal received from the pH probe 28-and serves to convertathe flow of electrical current from the external electrical current source flowing through electrical conduit 44 to a second resistance signal which is then transmitted to a feed timer 46 by meansof electrical conduit.48. w
The feed-timer,- beingresponsive'to :the second resistance signal received from the third means 421then controls the time duration of flow of electrical currentfrom an external electrical current source 50 to the. chemical. feeder pump 20 by means of electrical'conduit 52.

Thelimefeedrtimer 46 of the invention to provide-a controller is .an electronic. timer whose .timedurationis determined by the value of its R/C time constant which may bechanged 'by J varyinganexternal-resistance.

In order toimore fully understand how the R/C :time constant of the feed timer-46 is varied thereby varying the length of timerthat-thez-feed purnr'i 20 will run; reference should now be made to the operation of the pH probe 28. When the pH of the precipitator is above set point, the high contacts of the meter relay 56 open and deenergize relay H. When the pH content of the precipitator 10 is below the set point, the low contact of meter relay 56 opens and deenergizes relay L. When the pH is on the set point of the system, both relays H and L are energized.
The increment timer 36 is periodically started by starting means such as a sample timer shown generally by dashed lines 66 on FIG. 3. The function of the sample timer 66 is to periodically trigger the increment timer 36 and associated electrical equipment to make a correction in the system at predetermined times. While its operation is a repeating time cycle and is not changed by the pH reading of the pH probe 28, the time the increment timer 36 runs and therefore the magnitude of the change permitted is determined by later changes which will be more fully described hereinafter.
Upon timing out, the sample timer 66 closes electrical contact 68 and 70 to thereby trigger the increment timer 36, whose function is to control the magnitude of the increment correction.
When the increment timer 36 is triggered by the sample timer 66, the contacts 72, 74 of the increment timer 36 close and allow a potentiometer drive motor 76 to run in a direction determined by the pH of the system. If the pH is high, indicating too much lime is being added to the system, relay H will be deenergized and the potentiometer drive motor 76 will run in a direction to drive the potentiometer 78 to a lower resistance value. This in turn decreases the R/C time constant of the feed timer 46 which in turn reduces the duration of the feed of lime into the precipitator 10. When the pH is low, relay L will be deenergized and the potentiometer drive motor 76 will run in the opposite direction, thereby increasing the R/C time constant of the feed timer 46 and increasing the feed time of lime into the precipitator 10. When the pH is on the set point, both relays H and L will be energized and the potentiometer drive motor 76 will not reposition the potentiometer 78.
The potentiometer 78 may be manually controlled by means of the knob 79 and for this purpose a dial 81, indicating the time settings, is incorporated into the potentiometer 78. When the system is controlled by manual operation, a manualautomatic selector switch 83 is placed in the manual operation thereby allowing the controller to operate without the automatic feature before mentioned.
The magnitude of the time increment added to or removed from the feed timer 46 is determined by the time setting of the increment timer 36 which determines the length of time the potentiometer drive motor 76 will run to reposition the potentiometer 78. This time duration of the increment timer 36 is determined by the settings of the potentiometer 80 or the potentiometer 82, which is selected by the contacts of relays H, and L The relays H, and L, are standard two coil, memory latch type relays of the type having operating coils (H, op and L, op) which are energized to pull in and mechanically latch the relay contacts in the operated position. With such relays when the H, and L, coil are later deenergized, the relay will still remain in the operated position. The relays have trip coils (H, ,and L, which when energized cause the mechanical latch to open and drop the relay out.
As explained above, the relay H, is energized and latched when the pH is high, while the relay L, is energized and latched when the pH is low. Upon deviation of the pH from the set point, initially, relay H or L will be deenergized and further when the increment timer 36 is triggered, H, or L, will be energized and latched. When either H, or L, is latched. the time duration of the increment timer 36 is determined by the potentiometer 80 which is set for a long" increment of time. When both H, and L, are latched, which occurs whenever the pH is overcorrected, the time duration of the increment timer 36 is determined by the potentiometer 82 which is set for a short" increment of time. Thus, the incremental change in the potentiometer 78 in the initial direction is reduced if the control system overshoots the set point of the pH balance and reverses direction, thereby allowing only small corrections until the set point is reached. When the pH has arrived at the set point, both H, and L, are tripped and the system will make no further changes until a new departure from set point occurs. The output of the increment timer 36 is also used to reset the sample timer 66.
A minimum feed range selector switch 84 is also provided to permit the selection of a preset minimum time of chemical feed to the precipitator 10, to which is added the automatically adjusted time interval determined by the setting of the potentiometer 78. This provides a means of adjusting the limits of percentage feed change which the potentiometer 78 is capable of producing. Since the sample timer 66 allows the time period between incremental timer adjustments to be preset, the chemical process is able to react to the previous change and stabilize before additional changes or corrections are made. As a result, the controller may be used on processes having long transportation or process reaction lags, which are normally impossible to control. as well as on systems having short lag times.
While the sample timer 66 may be a continuously recycling timer which triggers the increment timer 36 and is then sub sequently reset by the output of the increment timer 36, it may be replaced with a counter which would totalize pulses from a metering device. The counter in turn would then initiate the increment timer 36, and then be reset by the output of the increment timer 36. It can also be seen that the control system of the invention may be used in other applications than the one shown in the preferred embodiments, and accordingly. the flow contact meter 26 functioning to turn the system on and off may be replaced with a different type of switch which functions in the same manner. such as a temperature switch, pressure switch or level switch, etc.
In addition, the measurement sensing element shown as a pH meter in the preferred embodiment may be another type of chemical balance detecting instrument such as conductivity. OR? or other analytical measurement device. lt may also be a switch sensing temperature, pressure, level, volume or flow or other type of sensing device.
It should also be obvious that the output section of the controller may be used to control other devices such as a potentiometer input to adjust speed, a photo transducer. a differential transformer, a pneumatic signal or various types of alarms in place of driving the potentiometer controlled feed timer 46 as hereinbefore described.
From the foregoing description. it can be seen that there is provided a new and novel control device which is capable of maintaining the proper chemical balance of a chemical system by observing the chemical balance of the system detecting a variation from a predetermined set point, making an incremental correction in the chemical balance and waiting a predetermined time for the correction to become effective before making subsequent corrections in the system. Such a control device may be utilized to control chemical processes having long lag times as well as short lag titties and is especially adapted to controlling the flow of lime to a precipitator as hereinbefore described. From a reading of the foregoing specification and a study of the attached drawings. it is apparent that many changes in the details of construction and arrangement of the parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as expressed in the accompanying claims and the invention is not to be limited to the exact manner shown and described as the preferred embodiments has been given by way of illustration only.

Expert witnesses in business ethics? That's right. Lawyers for plaintiffs and defendants now are consulting and retaining business ethicists as they press claims and defend clients in increasingly complex business litigation.
Although courts and juries are arbiters of legal issues, difficult cases are rarely cut-and-dried. Therefore, each party tries to present its case in the most favorable light, particularly if significant monetary damages are at stake. Plaintiffs argue that company executives acted outrageously, far beyond any accepted standard of business behavior. Defendants try to show they did what any company would have done in similar circumstances. The problem is that the standard for good corporate behavior changes rapidly and may be very different in 1997 than it was three years -or even one year-earlier. A reading of the business pages of the newspaper proves that point daily.
As a result of this rapidly changing standard and intense scrutiny on corporate and individual behavior by the public, individual managers have to gauge not only whether their actions are legal, but whether they're ethical. Organizations now are vulnerable to attack if someone believes employees have violated commonly held principles and processes of ethical decision making.
What do you think of this scenario?
Consider the case of the fictional International Finance Co. (IFC). Norman Kent, a veteran 30-year sales manager, was by all accounts a talented but outspoken employee. He had been steadily promoted as IFC grew exponentially through a strategy of making acquisitions and creating or acquiring new products. At one point his name was touted as a candidate for president of the company, until the board of directors chose Christopher Heiss, an outsider from the consumer products industry.
Kent began to sense a gradual but definite shift in the corporate culture at IFC. Kent wasn't afraid to have his performance measured-he could deliver results and always had. But he was becoming increasingly irascible and vocal about some sales tactics and compensation incentives he didn't like, fearing IFC's customers were being sold new products they didn't need at prices they couldn't afford.
One Friday morning, the vice president of human resources summoned Kent to his office for a meeting at which the chief operating officer was also present. "Norman, today is your last day at work," they told him. "We'd like you to leave immediately. We'll be in touch with you about your benefits." Kent was summarily paraded past his co-workers and subordinates, given a few minutes to collect his personal belongings and escorted to the parking lot.
IFC is forced to defend its actions.
Senior managers at IFC felt they were on firm legal ground in dismissing Kent. After all, Kent was an "at will" employee, and Heiss had the prerogative to choose his own executive team. Kent disagreed alleging not only that he was fired unfairly, but also that he was fired because IFC couldn't tolerate his criticism of the company's unethical sales practices. Now, instead of being in control, IFC was on the defensive and extremely vulnerable in the subsequent litigation for wrongful termination.
This incident need not have happened. Had President Heiss taken the time to assess the ethical culture of his new company (or to ask an ethics consultant to give him an objective evaluation), he would have come up with an ethics report card for the International Finance Co. that looked like this:
- Ethics mission statement: good
- Code of values: adequate
- Ethics committee: fair
- Ethics officer: company doesn't have one
- Ethics training: fair
- Ethics help line: company doesn't have one.
What's harder to measure, but more important than any of the above, is IFC's climate of openness. Were Norman Kent and other employees encouraged to challenge company practices and policies? How and where was such feedback channeled? What action was taken, and how was it communicated?
A culture that doesn't allow for ethical disagreements is at risk.
When a company doesn't have a mechanism for self-criticism or analysis, there's the danger that employees will be turned into robots, marching only to the corporate drummer, and that managers will become myopic and complacent. Even if the drummer is labeled "Ethics," a company isn't truly ethical if its culture, including its code of conduct, doesn't leave room for individual moral judgment.
In too many depositions and instances of litigation and arbitration, from government investigations and contract disputes to employment issues, it's clear that companies didn't allow critical dialogue. The emphasis too often is on "How do we stop this problem?" instead of "How did we let this happen?" Had President Heiss communicated early in his presidency that he respected free thinkers, encouraged honest and candid feedback, and challenged all IFC employees to help make the company better and stronger, the outcome might have been different.
In every organization, there must be a healthy balance between the authority of its moral policies and the autonomy of individual freedom. Yes, the International Finance Co. had some basic elements of an ethical infrastructure in place, such as an ethics mission statement and a code of values. But if the company had paid as much attention to listening to Kent and his fellow employees as it did to disseminating brochures and memos titled "Ethics," Heiss could have then produced his own expert witness at trial to state, "In my opinion, your honor, IFC acted prudently and in accordance with today's most thoughtful ethical standards."
In retrospect, Heiss had an opportunity as a new president to air out the company culture and make the "Norman Kents" of IFC part of his team to raise the company's standards of excellence and openness. In doing so, he would not have needed to reinvent the ethics wheel. As ethicists who are expert witnesses in legal trials frequently explain, the tools of corporate ethics benchmarking, educational programming, and procedures for evaluating and auditing are widely available. Hundreds of companies have appointed a senior level Ethics Officer to develop and continually strengthen ethical organizational cultures. Any corporate executive who ignores contemporary standards of ethical conduct of business puts his or her company at risk.

Currently, flu season has been replaced with warm and sunny days for most Americans.
Yet, the financial impact on those who sought medical attention due to influenza outbreaks this past winter has given penny pinchers a case of mysophobia as they attempt to avoid expensive medical bills.
Reports from Frugal Dad state businesses lose an average of $16.3 billion annually due to flu related illnesses compared to the average American's $92 loss per year.
The reported $87.1 billion taken out of the U.S. economy every year due to influenza is enough to supply every American with vaccinations for eight years!
While you may not be a germaphobe, the cost you may incur if you or a loved one becomes infected may persuade you to wear rubber gloves until you get your finances in order – or at least a reliable health insurance plan.
Here is a cool infographic from our friends at Frugal Dad illustrating the true cost of catching the flu.

Red Raiders Pound Louisiana-Monroe In Season Opener
Feb. 3, 2006
LUBBOCK, Texas - Josh Tomlin allowed just one run on three hits over six innings and freshman Roger Kieschnick pounded out a game-high six RBI to lead Texas Tech to a 21-5 win over Louisiana-Monroe in the season-opener on Friday afternoon at Dan Law Field.
The Red Raiders (1-0) got a solid combination of pitching, offense and defense on the afternoon that led to Tech's eighth straight win on opening day. The 21-run explosion was the highest scoring opening day for the Red Raiders since the 2001 season when Tech defeated Howard 21-0 and 25-0 in a January 26th doubleheader.
Tech took an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on an RBI sacrifice by freshman Roger Kieschnick and a solo home run by junior transfer Tyler Reves. Reves' first career home run for the Red Raiders came on the first offering by Louisiana-Monroe's Steve Lawler.
Tech tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the second on a defensive miscue and four walks by Lawler that gave the Red Raiders a 6-0 lead.
With a six run lead, the Red Raiders rode the arm of Josh Tomlin (1-0) who went on to pitch six innings allowing one run on three hits and struckout two. Tomlin's six-inning season debut marked the best opening day start for a Tech hurler since Randy Gattis logged six innings against Campbell in 2004.
The Red Raiders blew the game open by scoring 12 runs in the final two innings to make the final score 21-5. Sophomore catcher Matt Smith highlighted a five-run seventh inning with a three-run blast to left field. The home run was the third of his career.
Freshman left fielder Roger Kieschnick delivered the game's biggest hit and the knockout blow in the eighth when he punched out grand slam that sailed into the bullpen in right field. Kieschnick finished the day 2-for-4 with three runs scored and a game-high six RBI.
Junior designated hitter Tyler Reves led the Tech offensive charge going 3-for-4 at the plate with two walks and an RBI. Steve Lawler (0-1) suffered the loss for Louisiana-Monroe after he surrendered six runs on three hits while walking four in just two innings.
The Red Raiders will try and clinch the series on Saturday afternoon when they host Louisiana-Monroe in the second of this three-game series. Freshman right-hander Miles Morgan will draw the start for Texas Tech while the Indians will counter with right-hander David Mixon. First pitch is set for 2 p.m.

Terrell Owens isn't guaranteed a rooster spot with the Seahawks, the way T.O. played against the Broncos he could be almost guaranteed not to make the team. Owens went 0 for 5 when it came to catching the ball. The Seahawks must have thought they were getting the T.O. that knew how to go up and grab the football, those days seem to be gone from Terrell Owens repertoire. The Seahawks need to remember this is a guy who had difficulty playing arena ball. At least when he played in the arena's there were walls to limit the size of the field.
Owens could be in danger of being released. There isn't that much time left before the season starts and Owens had better find a way to improve his ability to bring in the ball and he better find it in the next game. The way Owens played last night he showed one thing. He displayed publicly it is time for T.O. to ride into the sunset and hang up his football cleats forever. T.O. may have to go out and get a regular job like the rest of American's who go to work everyday to make ends meet. Terrel Owens is a guy that blew millions of dollars and now he is blowing his chance to come back and be a NFL receiver. It may be over for Terrell Owens, now it is time for someone to tell him……

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 30, 2010Reviewer: Amber in WashingtonBoth the chocolate and key lime dessert mixes are awesome! I made them with cream the first time, but used canned coconut milk the second time and they turned out great. Dixie isn't kidding about the 'Easy' part either... these desserts literally only take minutes to prepare. You need to plan ahead a little bit, though, because they need to 'set' in the fridge for a while.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 23, 2010Reviewer: Dana in AlabamaThis mix is super easy to put together. I used cream cheese instead of cream because that is what I had on hand. I also put it into 9 ramekins (pkg has 9 servings) instead of a pie plate so I wouldn't overeat. The crumbs were a bit gritty but had a good flavor. I thought the creamed part was a bit flat so I added the juice of a lemon. It helped a lot. It is not overly sweet, seemed right to me. I have no idea if it would stick together well enough for a pie but it put the ramekins I can no longer use for creme brulee (sigh) to good use. And the lemon and cream cheese does add a carb or two per serving. I will get it again and get a lime to juice next time and I plan to try the chocolate too.This review is specific to Carb Counters Easy 'No Bake' Dessert Mix, Key Lime
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 06, 2010Reviewer: Noelle in VirginiaI made the key lime dessert for my husband who has been lo carb for about a month and is starting to go a bit crazy. Make no mistake, this will not taste like the sugared version. But for a lo carb dessert, we both thought it was pretty good. The crust is mostly ground nuts, which was a great substitute in our opinion. There is a nice lime flavor and the texture is what you'd expect, so I felt no need to make substitutions or additions to the recipe in any way. It did seem a bit thin when made in a 9" square pan, and next time I will try a pie pan. I served it with lo carb whipped cream on top and it was a nice compliment to the tart lime. There is a slight artificial sweetener flavor, but everything is relative, and this product will help keep us on the lo carb track.This review is specific to Carb Counters Easy 'No Bake' Dessert Mix, Key Lime
March 10, 2015Reviewer: cynthia in MassachusettsI purchased the lime and the chocolate mixes and packed them for a cruising vacation in the USVIs. I brought a disposable aluminum square pan, cream from Trader Joe's and purchased butter at a small convenience store once I arrived there. I did not have a refrigerator, just a cooler. Theses desserts were easy and oh so good. I am a foodie and can do better from scratch at home but these were perfect for the boat!
April 27, 2014Reviewer: A customer in New JerseyVery dark chocolate like, slight aftertaste/sugar substitute taste. Overall, very good and better with whipped cream.This review is specific to Carb Counters Easy 'No Bake' Dessert Mix, Double Chocolate Torte
September 08, 2012Reviewer: Sherri in MassachusettsHoly cow! This is so delicious you can easily fool anyone into thinking this is the real deal and not a low carb treat. Great lime flavor. So easy to make. Top with homemade whipped cream (sweetened with stevia and vanilla), a little lime zest and you've made a dessert fit for company!This review is specific to Carb Counters Easy 'No Bake' Dessert Mix, Key Lime

July 19, 2015Reviewer: Christine in MarylandI thought the chocolate torte was only fair. Essentially it's a pudding cake with a graham cracker like crust. The texture was fine, but it had a strong artificial sweetener aftertaste (sucralose).This review is specific to Carb Counters Easy 'No Bake' Dessert Mix, Double Chocolate Torte

So the 20 wristband winners for Paul's HMV signing have been announced on Paul's Twitter page, leaving 40 more supposedly to give away. Meanwhile, at least 30 people are in line with 24 hours to go.
I took the bold move to go against one of my personal wishes (to avoid fb/twitter) in order to, hopefully, get another one granted (see Paul). I've been unlucky, though.
30 people in line already? Wow. Obviously they're keen to get in
Moving along in our God given ways, safety is sat by the fire/Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, left with a mark on the door.

The thing is I wouldn't mind paying to see him. I wouldn't mind paying a lot to see him. He's not giving me (and plenty others) the chance to, though!

I want to see him too. If I had been a fan earlier in life, I would have had plenty of opportunities.

My copy's arrived. Just sent this to Paul's Twitter account:
Do you have Instagram? You should post this there too. Weren't they still looking for their 500th regram? If that's not a winner, I don't know what is.
And it was! I got the 500th. No prize involved as far as I can tell, just the glory of it all. Thanks for suggesting I do it.
Off topic: I think I might use my Instagram account to keep track of all my Beatles purchases, a visual record. I took delivery this morning of Anthology 1, 2 and 3 on vinyl and they look amazing laid out together.
Emily and other UK people - if you missed out on tickets for the Oxford Street signing, there's a competition on Amazon.co.uk to win a pair of tickets to see Paul in Tokyo.

I am SO in love with "Alligator". That song effing rocks.
"Please don't bring your banjo back, I know where it's been.. I wasn't hardly gone a day, when it became the scene.. Banjos! Banjos! All the time, I can't forget that tune.. and if I ever see another banjo, I'm going out and buy a big balloon!"
29 August 2013
Interesting mix of opinions - looks like I am one of the few who has "Appreciate" at the bottom of my list (okay, maybe tied with "Hosanna") - though I am still enjoying the album immensely. I really like the two bonus tracks, the hidden one not so much.
8 November 2012
Paul's going to do another pop-up concert in about 20 minutes at Covent Garden in London.
I'm getting ready to pop up in Covent Garden at 1pm today. Oh baby!
Edit: Live stream at HuffPost.
1 May 2011
The BBC are naming the Apple Rooftop concert as the originator of these appearances but there are is also the University Tours of 1972 where Paul and Wings in their earliest form would drive up to a University and play with next to none promotion except an announcement that there would be a concert at such a time with a small entrance fee. It is a great way of getting promotion for an album as well as a fabulous way for people to enjoy their lunchtime.
Good on you Paul.

Yeah its started working about 3 seconds after i posted. Thanks for the heads up Parlance. Listening to Paul who sounds good. Not yet owning the album (i'll pick it up either today or tomorrow) this is my first hearing of nearly all of tracks. Not a big fan of these concert songs written for reaction and to get everyone involved.
Shame he can only do 15, 20 minutes, stupid laws. Its Paul friggin' McCartney.
8 November 2012
You're welcome. I woke up earlier than usual and something told me to check his FB.
In a rare, impressive show of organization, according to someone on Maccaboard, they gave wristbands to everyone in line for the HMV signing so they could come and go and they didn't have to miss the concert.
He did Everybody Out There, then Queenie Eye, and since he had some more time, he did New again. Kinda odd.
I like the flower in the wine glass on the piano.
1 May 2011
It was a fun concert and i get the feeling Paul would have happily played on if given the opportunity.
I haven't been keeping up to speed with Paul's live songs from the album so has he done any others from it or was it down to not yet having them ready that he done New again (so not New)?
And once again after hearing New (that performance has tripled the amount of times i've heard it) i go away singing Daytime Nighttime Suffering.

Definitely. As you said, he was in great voice.

Yeah, those are the ones he did at Times Square. "Queenie Eye" is the only one he added after Kimmel. He said the band have been practicing the whole album all the way through, and it's too bad another wasn't ready in time (*cough*Appreciate*cough*).
Edit: If you missed the concert, you can replay it at the HuffPost link.
9 August 2011
meanmistermustard was thinking of "Daytime Nighttime Suffering" when listening to "New". Meanwhile, in humming "Save Us" I also found myself singing Journey's "Separate Ways (Love Will Find You)"
And indeed, when McCartney sings "saaaaaave us" it could segue right into "love will find you"
8 November 2012
As long as we're talking mashups, I'll go ahead and admit that "Queenie Eye" has started reminding me of Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping."
18 April 2013
On first listen of NEW, I heard it with critical ears, and was somewhat underwhelmed, although admittedly there were a few standout tracks. Now that I'm on my third or fourth listen and just taking it all in, I'm really enjoying all of it. I like it quite a bit. I think it might be one of my McCartney favorites.
28 January 2013
I've listened to NEW twice, and it's a great album. Other album had a bit to many songs that their title was only one word, and a few of them are alright. The first half of the album is without a doubt the better side. The songs that were reminiscing of Paul's times in the 1960's clearly highlighted the side and the album.
Save Us was a great start to the album, Alligator is a great follow up, though the title of the song was odd. On My Way To Work is probably my favorite track on the album because of the early 60's feel of how life was. Queenie Eye was alright. Early Days' guitar picking highlighted the track, and the song is my second favorite on the album. New was probably a standout track from the rest of the side, I feel like it stands out from all the others because of its sound.
The second side was okay. I wasn't really fond of Appreciate, or Hosanna. Everybody Out There was okay, and so was I Can Bet. Looking At Her was my favorite song from the second side. Road probably is my least favorite song on the album. I really don't like it.
The deluxe edition tracks were good. I liked Turned Out, but I disliked Get Me Out of Here. Throwaway song IMO. Scared was awesome. It basically describes what many guys go through.
New is like an 8/10 Strong first side, an okay second, and great bonus tracks.
1 May 2011
Picked up a copy today (standard edition, will download the bonus tracks) but haven't got around to listening to it (Chaos and Creation is on as i never got around to hearing it after picking it up a couple of weeks ago).

There are no bicycles in Dharamsala. And I am not leaving until I do a meditation retreat, and attend the teachings of the Dalai Lama. This means I am here without a bicycle for about a month.
For those that don't know: My fitness goal is to ride 475km from Manali to Leh, at altitudes of up to 5300m. Not exactly easy.
Currently I am at about 2000m. I walk all around this mountainous city daily, probably 10 miles a day. It is the most mountainous town I have ever been in. I walk up the steepest hills and staircases I've ever seen, all day long. That is good training and its keeping me sore. In addition, I am doing Yoga every other day. As I acclimate to the step climbing, I will do more and more, etc. My hammies are killing me Oh... and a massage therapist friend, as well as a local guy, are hooking me up with massage therapy every other day. Just thought I'd toss that in to gloat
What else can I do to keep in shape for cycling... without cycling? Believe me, I'm doing everything I can to get a bicycle, but there are none here. Its too steep for them.

Guest post: Healthy Eating on a Budget
While I'm on vacation until Aug. 9 (and quite possibly for the day or two after I get back), I'm featuring several guest bloggers. Today's guest post comes from Kayris who blogs at The Great Walls of Baltimore, among other places.

Her blood sugar was up, her cholesterol was in the high range, and she had gained ten pounds in the past year. He told her she needs to lose weight or face serious health risks.

THESE ARE THICK, they don't just talk about it ... they are perfect for diabetics and ANYONE who wants a super cushioned sock ... I use them in place of slippers around the house ... they are so thick that you may need a half size larger to wear the same shoes.
Posted by Robert on 16th Jun 2014
I've used the Pro Thick low cut and quarter socks for many years and loved them. They are no longer available in extra large size.
Posted by Randy Calvanelli on 25th Apr 2014
Best athletic socks made for tennis, basketball, or just plain walking around! Only ones I have seen than have sock cushioning. Never stop making them.
Posted by Sandy on 9th Sep 2013
My husband loves these socks and they are they only ones he wears. Please bring them back so I can get him some more.
Posted by Unknown on 22nd Apr 2013

Posted by Sue on 12th Jun 2012

The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department says 24-year old Dex Hunter Stone has been charged with three counts of sexual battery and one count of lustful touching of a child.
Sheriff Billy Sollie tells Newscenter 11 that Stone was taken into police custody without incident on Friday morning. Sollie says Stone was a cafeteria worker at Southeast Lauderdale Middle School until he was terminated by Superintendent Randy Hodges on Friday afternoon. The sheriff says authorities have been investigating Stone for about two weeks now. He says the victims in this case are six and ten-years old.
"Family members brought to our attention allegations that a six-year old and ten-year old had been inappropriately touched by Dex Hunter Stone," Sheriff Sollie says.
The sheriff says the victims are not students at the school and that the alleged incidents did not take place on school property.

text: I've been using a training plan with workouts from some of Carmichaels books and am pleased with the results. The workouts are based on a percentage of maximum heart rate. Now I am getting a powermeter, and I'm wondering if there is a standard conversion to begin measuring workouts based on power other than heart rate. Do I just perform the standard field test and re-calculate percentages based on power rather than heartrate? Or is there some other kind of method?

Women Track's van der Wyk Wins 1,500 At AVC Invitational
After having one of the best cross country seasons ever performed by an individual at this college in 2009, Pasadena City College freshman Tracee van der Wyk is continuing her success on the PCC women's track and field team this year.
Van der Wyk (pictured in a recent meet) won the 1,500 meters race at the Antelope Valley College Invitational April 2-3. Her time of 4:46.23 was enough to edge out Glendale's Rosa Del Toro (4:47.87).
Her 4:41.21 winning mark at the Mar. 26 RCC Open (Riverside) is the fourth fastest time in the state this season. Del Toro is currently third on that same state listing.
Also at AVC, van der Wyk placed second in the 800 meters at 2:18.57. In that event, the distance specialist is fourth in the state after her 2:17.80 against 4-year university runners at the Occidental Distance Carnival held Mar. 12.
Of all of her exceptional races, it was her state's fastest mark in the 10,000 meters, a time of 38:42.42, at the Occidental meet that truly stands out. At the Ben Brown Invitational (Cal State Fullerton) Mar. 6, her 17:57.48 time in the 5,000 meters was the best community college mark at the event, going up against top university racers, and fourth fastest thus far in the state.
Men's Track and Field Update
Richard Zarazua placed second in the 1,500 meters at the Antelope Valley Invitational with a time of 4:00.99. He also grabbed fifth in the 800 meters at 1:57.82. Ernesto Rodriguez finished fifth in the 3,000 steeplechase (10:17.55).
At the RCC Open, Zarazua won the 1,500 meters at 4:01.17 and was a close second in the 800 meters (his current individual best of 1:56.18).
The only PCC men's team athlete on the state's top 10 fastest/most lists is Isaiah Sims, who won the 200 meters at a Mar. 5 Cerritos College meet with a time of 21.78. He is 10th currently in the state in that event.

March 17, 2014
Tallahassee, FL - Bars and restaurants have advertised day long deals for the holiday, but local authorities say, the most important part of your day, is knowing how you'll get home.
"Law enforcement in general, we look at things like St. Patrick's Day, New Year's Eve, those sorts of things as when people center their celebrations on drinking. Very often, what we are most afraid of is people doing that then getting behind the wheel of a car", says Major James Russell, Deputy Chief for FSU PD.
Local authorties say they won't tell everyone how to celebrate the St. Patrick's Day holiday, but once you get behind the wheel, you become everyone's problem.
"There are so many forms of transportation, so many programs that are available out there, they really just make drinking and driving not an option at all, nor should it ever be."
If you decide to get behind the wheel, TPD says they will be looking out for you. Bars have beefed up security and extra officers are patrolling areas with big crowds. Some officers are specifically targeting DUIs.
Security for Finnegan's Wake in Midtown says they try not to let their patrons get to that point.
"Well, what we try to do is get them to the inhebriated point, and then if we see that they're starting to get there, what we will do is try and give them a lot of water, see if anybody's with them, get them outside, have them sit down, call a cab", says Michael Gilliland.
Major Russell says Nole Cab, taxis, public transportation, and tow and go programs will be available throughout the night...so there is no excuse to get behind the wheel if you've been drinking.
Major Russell also says your best bet is to have a plan. He says if you don't have a designated driver, make sure you have cash in your pocket so you can hail a cab, and if things really get rough, he says local vendors would happy to help you call one.
News Release: TEAM Georgia
(ATLANTA) The Governor's Office of Highway Safety and safe and sober driving coalition TEAM Georgia have paired up once again to make sure Georgia motorists know that if they drive impaired this St. Patrick's Day, they'll need a lot more than the luck of the Irish to get out of trouble.
Georgia has a zero tolerance policy toward driving over the .08 blood alcohol limit. GOHS and TEAM Georgia want those celebrating popular drinking holidays like St. Patrick's Day to have fun with friends and family, but also remember that if they are over the limit behind the wheel, they'll be under arrest.
Last year, 161 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes in Georgia. That number has increased by more than 6 percent since 2012. The 9,300 alcohol-related crashes last year also resulted in 5,644 injuries.
"We've lost far too many people on Georgia's roads to drunk driving," said GOHS Director Harris Blackwood. "Don't be another number on that list this year. Designate a sober driver before you make your first toast."
TEAM Georgia's mission is to foster safe and sober driving habits on the state's roads and waterways. GOHS partnered with them on March 14 to warn people who will be celebrating in Atlanta, that a safe ride home is just a phone call or smartphone tap away.
"We want to remind drivers of the negative things that can happen if they decide to navigate our roads after drinking on St. Patrick's Day," said TEAM Georgia Chairman Ron Fennel. "Secure a sober, designated driver before your night begins, or simply call a taxi or use GOHS's smartphone app so you and your party can arrive home safely."
Law enforcement patrols will be stepped up during St. Patrick's Day, and GOHS is also asking partygoers to utilize its Drive Sober, Georgia app. If revelers find themselves without a sober ride home, they can download the app (available on both Apple and Android markets) to search a database of safe and sober ride options in their area. Some programs are free and some are fee-based, but either way, the Drive Sober, Georgia app means there is no excuse for driving home drunk.
There are a few more easy ways to ensure a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day: plan a safe way home before the festivities; designate a sober driver ahead of time and leave your car keys at home; use a taxi, call a sober friend or use public transportation to get home safely; contact police if you see a drunk driver; and be prepared to take someone's keys away and find them a safe ride home if they're too drunk to drive.
For more information about this and other impaired driving awareness efforts, visit www.gahighwaysafety.org or call 404-656-6996. TEAM Georgia can also be reached by visiting www.teamgeorgia.net or calling 770-490-1243.
News Release: FHP
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – There will be plenty of celebrations over the next few days leading up to St. Patrick's Day on Monday. Florida Highway Patrol troopers will be on the lookout for impaired drivers during the weekend leading up to St. Patrick's Day, March 14 – 17 as part of the national effort called Drive Sober of Get Pulled Over. In addition to focusing on impaired drivers, the Patrol will be looking for those who fail to wear a seat belt, speed and aggressive driving.

Andreas Rohl, Danish bike guru, tours Minneapolis on two wheels [VIDEO]
Copenhagen's bike czar on the Sabo bridge.
In the mid 1990s, Copenhagen rolled out the world's first modern bicycle-sharing program, launching a revolution that rolled through Paris, London, Amsterdam, and good old Minneapolis.
More than a decade later, the Danish capital is preparing to overhaul and update its system, so the city's biking director, Andreas Rohl, swung through Minneapolis yesterday to see what he could learn from our own bike program.
Rohl is something of a legend in the urban biking and planning worlds, and local local officials and bicycle advocates treated his arrival like a visit from royalty.
Bill Dossett and Andreas Rohl.
Bill Dossett, the executive director of our own bike-share program, Nice Rides Minnesota, says Rohl is "Internationally known as one of the smartest people around as far has how to make cities great for bikes."
"We're really thrilled that he came here to see what we're doing," Dossett said. "That alone is a compliment to Minneapolis."
So Dosset put Rohl on one of the city's lime-green shared bikes and took him on a tour of the city's bicycle infrastructure: Nice Ride stations, bicycle lanes and dedicated paths.
In many ways, Copenhagen is decades ahead of Minneapolis in embracing urban biking. More than half of city residents cycle to work. Two-wheeled transportation there is so common that people don't even identify themselves as bicyclists anymore than they identify themselves as "shoppers" or "tooth-brushers."
Rohl on his tour of the city's bike lanes.
It wasn't always thus, though.
"In the 1950s and '60s, Copenhagen became filled with automobiles -- that's not just an American thing," Rohl said. "But we've been working for a long time to give people as many transportation alternatives as possible, and we've found that given the choice, people often choose bicycles as the easiest way to get from here to there."
Pedaling down the Hiawatha trail, Rohl said what most impressed him about Minneapolis's effort is the way the city has involved the community in the program.
"Getting people involved in naming it, running it through a non-profit rather than some big corporation, it seems that Minneapolis has done a good job in making people feel invested in the program," Rohl said. "More than any technology, that's what I'll be taking back from here to Copenhagen."
Here's a clip of Roh'ls Tour de Minneapolis:

I have "Country" filter dropdown list in ssrs report. This contains all countries and it is a multiselect dropdownlist. If user selects "All" the reports sends all country names comma separated to a storedprocedure where I have the query to display data. In stored procedure i split the values and compare the data. No issues so far. Now what I want is, If user selects "All", i don't need to pass all comma separated values to SP, instead pass null. So in my sp i don't have to split or join the tables. The problem is identifying whether the user has selected the "All" check box in the report criteria.Is there a way to find this whether the "All" is selected?
the country is dynamic, so i don't have a lookup value to count all countries. Parameters!Country.Count == 10 -- I can't do that because I don't know the 10.
