Hi all,
My wife and I are doing a self-supported cross country ride leaving in the middle of May from Baltimore. We'll be camping and relying in the kindness of strangers. I'm hoping for advice in our route. I'm aware of the AC routes and have chosen not to go in that direction.
Below is our tentative route from Frederick to Lexington. Let me if you have idea for better routes between these two places. I'm hoping that we'll be to manage the C&O trail with loaded down bikes. I know that there will be a detour around the Paw Paw Tunnel becuse of the dirt slide.
Thanks in advance for your help,

My iMac 12.1 is behaving strangely. Two days ago Power Point
Resolved Question:
My iMac 12.1 is behaving strangely. Two days ago Power Point crashed, swallowing my presentation, and though I had consistently back up refusing to provide a recovery.
This morning Airport had strangely disappeared. I tried every thing I could do to restore it, but it could not be found, even though it is working perfectly on my Macair, which I am using to send this message. What do I do?

Hi My name isXXXXX hope i can help you.
We can try some basic troubleshooting steps and see if that works or not.
Reset PRAM and NVRAM
(Solution 1)
Shut down your Mac
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears and before the chime sound.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for three times.
Release the keys.
Restart in Safe mode
(Solution 2)
Make sure that the computer is shut down. Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the
key. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator. Let the Mac boot up...
Run Disk Utility in Single User Mode
(Solution 3)
Turn your Mac off. Turn it back on and this time hold down the
Command (Apple)
key and the
keys at the same time. Then type the following command...
/sbin/fsck -fy
(note the space between fsck and -fy)
If you can't run
/sbin/fsck - fy
then type only
fsk - fy
Hit return and the disk utility should run and let it finish. When it finishes and there is no error, then type
and hit return. Let the Mac boot up.
(Disk Utility will fix all system errors, bad preferences files etc)
Let me know if that didn't worked. Only click Accept after it worked.

I tried solution 1 and 2. They did not restore Airport and I still cannot find a back-up for the Power Point file that I lost. I'd say neither worked.
I am ready to try solution 3 but realize I don't quite understand the dirctions. Do I hold down the command an s keys AFTER the computer has booted--or do I hold them down until the Apple appears as in the other example?
Second, do I keep holding down the CS while typing the /sbin. . . etc.?
Third, where do I type /sbin????
Can you clarify?
replied 4 years ago.
Hold down immediately after you turn on your computer and you will get a prompt to type.
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
OK. I did it (solution 3). It checked a long list and then said: the volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.
Now what do I do? This message is still on my screen. Do I type in something else?
replied 4 years ago.
Yes, type reboot and press return
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
I tried sending a question about an hour ago and it seems not to have gone through. I was able to run the test offered in Solution 3. It reported that "the volume HD appears to be OK"
What next? Do I turn off the computer and see if Airport appears? How do I deal with the missing Power Point file? I still don't have an answer to my basic concerns. Am I missing some step in the process?
replied 4 years ago.
Sorry, we had some issues with the site. I replied to you earlier. Here it is, Yes, type reboot and press return
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
I am happy to know that my HD appears to be o.k. , but that wasn't my problem. My problem was two crashing programs within a few days--first Power Point and now Airport, both of which are important to my work. They are exactly where they were when we began. If you have further suggestions, I am happy to know about them, but at this point I am afraid you haven't been able to solve the problem. Are their next steps?
replied 4 years ago.
Those are basic troubleshooting steps. You can reset the SMC of your Mac and see if that works or not
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Does that fix your Airport ?
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
Sadly, this made no difference. I get the message "Airport not configured" and can't find it in the software. It appears to have vanished.
replied 4 years ago.
I hope the Airport isn't fried. What version of Mac OS X are you using ?
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
Version 10.6.8
replied 4 years ago.
Do you have the Mac OS X installation discs ?
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
I don't know. This is a pretty new computer and came with the operating system installed. The only discs I have are two orange colored discs that may have come with my first iMac. I'm not sure. One says iMac Software REstore and the other iMac Software Install. They both say "For iMac DV models, SSW version 9. The "Install" one says(NNN) NNN-NNNNA, the "Restore" one says(NNN) NNN-NNNNA.
What would "fry" Airport?
replied 4 years ago.
Not sure, but have seen this happend before. Did you checked the box of your Mac ?
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
I did not save the packing box the computer came in but I didn't throw anything away that was in it.
So are you saying you have seen this happen to Airport before? On this particular model computer?
replied 4 years ago.
Yes, i've had some clients with that problem before. But the SMC Reset fixed most of them. And some needed to take it to the store. Is there anyway to get them ?
Every Mac came with the Mac OS X installation discs
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
Voila! I misfiled them. There are two gray discs--one says "Mac OS X Install" and the other "Applications Install."
replied 4 years ago.
Great ! I assume the version of disc is 10.6
Put the disc 1 to your Mac and reinstall your Mac OS X with it by following onscreen instructions. This won't delete any of your files, but will just fix system files. If this is a software problem, it will fix the Airport issue. For the
issue, can you send me the presentation ? So i can check it on my computer
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
Thank you. I am now installing on the iMac with Disc 1.
I will try to send the Power Point presentation but my e-mail program usually won't take such large files.
replied 4 years ago.
Upload the file to www.wikisend.com and send me the link of the uploaded file
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
Will do. This will take awhile no doubt.
replied 4 years ago.
Take your time
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
OS X is now reinstalled. Nothing has changed re Airport or Powerpoint. What is my next step?
Disc 2?
replied 4 years ago.
Then Airport must be failed and you need to take it to the store to get it fixed.
For power point, can you send the PPT file ?
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
I've never done this before. is this what you need?
The file is called "Sentimentality and Plurality." This is the crashed file. It eliminated almost all of my photographs. I put one back--the first one called 'Libby Family Register" and then didn't dare do anything more for fear it would crash again. The crash occurred when I went to "View Slide Show." Things went dark. I got an error message, clicked on "send to Powerpoint" or whatever it said about reporting error, but I was unable to find a recovered file. Very strange, since I have used Power Pointfo years and have never had this kidn fo problem.
I realize this may be distinct from the loss of Airport--but have two applications malfunction with a few days raised the questionf or me if something was amiss in the computer. I will check with the Mac dealer, but if you are willing to take a look at my file, I would be grateful (and will surely pay you since you have been helpful, even if the answer appears to be that "Airport" crashed.
replied 4 years ago.
Yes, that is the file. I will check it and let you know
Ask Your Own Mac Question
replied 4 years ago.
I checked it and i'm able to open the Presentation but as you said, the images are gone.
It might be caused by the bad preference files of Power Point. We can trash it and see if that helps
Go to
Macintosh HD/User/[username]/Library/Preferences/
and trash
com.Microsoft.powerpoint.plist file
Now edit the Presentation again and see if it crashes. Do regular backup using Save As method.

Cons: Not as smooth as it could be with today's technology, but it's koooo.
Other Thoughts: Must work on slam dunk contest. . .

Waste of money
This review is from: NBA Live 2007 Game
Pros: none
Cons: Basketball games have been getting worse over the years but this just did it for me... I can't believe all the changes that they made... has EA gone mad? and please explain why you would change the icon passing order for the positions, and now you have to use the right analog for the freestyle moves, and dunk with triangle??? come on!! not every player can dunk, and if you try a dunk with a player that cant dunk its an automatic miss, man this game sucks
Other Thoughts: also it shipped from the west coast to the east coast so it took about a week but thats okay, its not neweggs fault that this game is horrible... btw the other NBA game sucks too

A flood watch is currently in effect for most of the viewing area.
This comes on the heels of the one-year anniversary of the devastating Central New York flooding. And fear is running high among those who were ravaged by the flood last summer.
In Whitesboro, the flood watch and heavy rains on Wednesday bringing back some bad memories and with good reason.
When it started raining on Wednesday, What was your first reaction?
Nerves, just nerves. You start getting all riled up inside and the stress comes up. But I've become actually a connoisseur of rain now so I kind of can say how long it's going to rain and how fast it's going to rain to see how fast the creek is going to come up. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. From what we had last year to this year, we watch the levels of the water that's coming up. The runoff is what scares everybody. Water can come in and it can rain like crazy but it's the runoff afterwards that builds up quickly. When I first moved here I could stand here on this ledge and literally the water would only be 10 feet away from me. I mean right now we're up because we're getting a run off but when that's down where it's supposed to be it's almost 17 feet away from me. So that's how much they dug out to clean the creek out. And what they did is they made the creek straight. See there were a lot of angles and bends and that's where you get the debris that stops the water up now they've made the whole thing straight. I'll tell you I'm proud of them. They did a great job. You know it still scares people. When it starts raining people come down here and try to check it out. I wish I had an alarm system so I could just tell them stay home until they hear the alarm but we're safe today. We're safe. It's not enough rain.
Sanfilippo did have the radar up and the hourly forecasts. He says Wednesday night could be a late night depending on how long it continues to rain.

GRR-CT is a golden retriever rescue group headquartered in East Lyme, CT. GRR-CT partners with rescue groups and shelters across the South to rehome southern rescued golden retrievers with loving families in New England. Loyal and loving goldens turn up every day in Southern shelters, as owners turn them in or theyÆre found roaming the streets after being dumped. To the best of our abilities, we evaluate all our goldensÆ temperaments and suitability for living with other dogs, cats, and children. Their health is checked, and we make sure they are up-to-date on all shots and spayed or neutered. Then we place them in loving foster homes until they find their very own family. Our goal is to meet the needs of each dog as an individual and to assure proper placement in a loving forever home.
South to North Connection
Every month, dozens of our golden retrievers ride the transport north to their new forever homes. The USDA-licensed transport drives up every week to meet new forever families at various locations along the Tennessee-New England route. Our adoptions are long-distance, sight-unseen and the dogs are taken directly home from the transport. We facilitate long-distance adoptions by the transfer of pictures and information about the goldens as well as indepth communication with the dogsÆ foster moms.
The Adoption Process
The process to adopt a golden retriever includes:
À completion of an application
. phone interview with your dogÆs adoption coordinator
. phone interview with your dogÆs foster mom
À veterinary reference & personal references
À home visit
À adoption contract
À adoption fee*
*adoption fees vary from puppies to adults to seniors and can be found on each dog's adoption application at the end of their profile.

ONS has a Magnetom Espree Open Bore MRI with an
opening of more than 27 inches in diameter and has four times more power than standard "open MRIs".
For virtually all exams, including lumbar spine scans, the patient's feet go in first and the head remains outside of the magnet bore without sacrificing image quality. For some exams, special coils are placed over a body part. The coils are ultra lightweight and barely noticeable.
Getting into the MRI is made easier because the table adjusts down to 18 inches off the floor. The technology of this scanner offers significantly reduced scanning time. A head-to-toe exam can be performed in a single pass.
All MRIs are Evaluated by a Board-Certified Radiologist
A Board-certified radiologist will evaluate your MRI scan and complete a diagnostic report for your physician. Through a digital computer network, your doctor will review images and reports with you, right in the exam room. The ONS MRI is fully-accredited by The American College of Radiology.

Serial Stories: Nick Broomfield on "Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer"
by Nick Poppy
Nick Broomfield is perhaps best known for his pushy muckraking expeditions
into the darker side of American culture, such as his exhumations of dead rockers and
rappers ("Kurt & Courtney," "Biggie & Tupac") and his investigative
pieces on high-end prostitutes ("Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam"). If the transplanted
Brit's signature style has become something easily mocked -- the aggressive, ambush-style
interviews of seedy characters, his insistent queries of "Why won't you talk to me?" to the
non-cooperative -- it's only because it has yielded such entertaining and insightful results.
Broomfield's first person investigations are occasionally distracting, often funny, and
sometimes, as in his latest film "Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer," deeply disturbing.
Aileen Wuornos killed seven men in Florida in the early 1990s, and was convicted of murder
and sentenced to die in 1992. She is famous for being that rara avis, a female serial killer,
and is the subject of multiple films, including the Charlize Theron Oscar-grab, "Monster."
Wuornos is this year's Brandon Teena -- the strange and pathetic media darling (as Teena was in the late
'90s with "Boys Don't Cry" and "The Brandon Teena Story") whose scarred life and grisly death,
like that of transgendered Teena, is a source of eerie fascination. "Aileen: The Life and Death of a
Serial Killer" grew out of Broomfield's 1992 film on the mishandling of Wuornos's case, "Aileen Wuornos:
The Selling of a Serial Killer." In this update on Aileen's story, shot in 2002, Broomfield travels
from an appeals hearing on her execution, for which he testifies as a witness, to Wuornos's childhood
home in Michigan. As Aileen's execution date creeps closer, Broomfield seeks out those who knew her,
including her family and childhood friends, to understand how one person's life could go so horribly
wrong. He also meets with Wuornos herself, whose hold on reality grows ever more tenuous. Was she fit
for execution? Is anybody? In a mode revenant of the somber proceedings, Broomfield documents the last
days of Wuornos's tragic life and shows how she never had a chance.
indieWIRE contributor Nick Poppy spoke with Nick Broomfield about the American justice system,
social change, and Broomfield's inimitable style.
IndieWIRE: How did this movie come about?
Nick Broomfield: I originally made a film in '91, "The Selling of a Serial Killer."
I shot it in '91, it came out in '92. And Aileen and I always had this curious affinity, which I
think was caused in part by the fact that just prior to the first interview I did with her, we, the
film crew managed to get arrested in the prison for a security infraction. And we were searched and
our vehicle was stripped down, and I guess the rumor of this spread around the prison. So we were
sort of closer to the prisoners than most media people. Aileen also had this fantasy that we were
actually a rock band that was coming to perform in the prison that night. We were dropping in to do
an interview on the way, but that's really why we were there. And then she had this fantasy that
we'd be out partying and having a great time, so it was all the things she wanted to do. There was
always that sort of funny thing, even though we assured her that we were there to interview her.
So there was that affinity, and we kept in touch over the years. I tried to get her a different.
That didn't work out, but we wrote to each other, and I kept in touch with her through Dawn, her
friend. And then, when she was going through this appeal process, they have a final appeal before
execution, I was then subpoenaed as a witness. And a number of her childhood friends from Detroit
came down as well. I had always had this mistaken belief that she wouldn't be executed, that she
would get off death row. When I got down there, I realized that the rules of the appeal process are
so narrow, you can't actually start introducing new evidence. It's very hard to get a retrial, even
if the lawyer is a total drug addict and complete incompetent, it wasn't going to make much difference.
And then Aileen, who originally said she had acted in self-defense, suddenly announced she'd killed
in cold blood, and wanted to die. And Jeb Bush immediately said, "Oh fine, I'll make sure that happens
quickly." And I really started at that point making a film, partly to find out whether Aileen was
lying because she couldn't stand death row, whether in fact that was the truth all along and she
suddenly had a change of mind and wanted to come clean, or whatever. So all those things were factors
in getting this thing done.
Also, I just felt that this is the so-called democratic leading country in the world, this is
what we regard as civilized society, and yet, this weird stuff's going on. I felt that there should
be some kind of documentation of that. Because I think ultimately the most important thing that comes
out of all these things, whether it's Saddam Hussein or it's Aileen Wuornos, is really what example
we're setting. Whether it's just pure vengeance or whether we're looking for justice. And I think it's
important in a democratic country that's talking about freedom that there's an equality of justice,
and that due process happens. I think that's just the mainstay of the civilized world, really, and I
think Jeb Bush and the president have no respect for the rule of law. And this is apparent in a whole
lot of things, whether it's the Patriot Act or Guantanamo Bay or things like "Saddam Hussein should be
hanged." I think the rule of law has been incredibly important, and I think with the rule of law there's
a standard by which people behave. And when that breaks down, particularly when it breaks down in a
country like this one, which the rest of the world is looking to, then you have complete anarchy. And
I think under the Bushes, that's kind of what's happening all over the place. I think in a way, what
happened with Aileen Wuornos is a micro, micro story of that, which is that there's no equality. Aileen
couldn't afford a decent lawyer. I think if you're rich, you don't get on death row, you very rarely get
executed. So it's all the poor people, it's a lot of people with mental problems, it's all the
unfortunates of society on death row. And those were the reasons really I felt the film was important,
and why it's kind of an election year issue.
Proponents of the death penalty would say that justice has been served by Aileen's execution. Well,
vengeance has been served. For example, in England, when there was the death penalty, before it was
repealed, every person automatically had two barristers and a solicitor. They had that sort of
representation. In the United States, you get a court appointed lawyer, who generally are the least
experienced, and kind of the dregs of the legal system, because they're terribly badly paid. And they
are also up against the DA, who is a political appointee. There's the entire machinery of the state
behind him, to support the prosecution. So I don't think, when you see the scales of justice, that's
what you call justice. I don't think there's a fairness there, and I think that's the inherent heart
of a justice system, that you ensure, in a democratic society, that those who are less fortunate still
have equality before the law. It's a fundamental principle.
You know, the weird thing was that there were mirrors around the gurney, so that if Aileen Wuornos
turned her head away during the execution, the witnesses could still see her face at the moment of
death. It's that kind of vengeance. I'm not sure that's a fantastic thing, or that that kind of
thinking is a healthy thing, or that it produces anything good in the future.
iW: A number of your films take stock of American culture and society.
Broomfield: I've been living here, too...
iW: So what's the appeal of the U.S. for you?
Broomfield: I originally came here seeing the United States as the land of freedom,
the land of opportunity, the land of civil liberties, all those incredible things that happened
here during the 1960s. And also the country that the rest of the world looked up to. I think the
United States has the mantle of the torch of freedom, and the rest of world has looked to the
United States for that. And it's important that its leaders actually embody that. And if they
don't, obviously they need to be removed.
iW: Would it ever become so unappealing living here that you would leave?
Broomfield: If you feel something strongly, and you want to help to encourage some
kind of debate, and you want to change that, it's probably important that you hang around.
Because if everybody who disagrees with something leaves, the situation is just going to
continue. And I think the important thing is that if everybody just does their little bit,
makes themselves heard, it has some effect. I think a lot of people are terrified to say
anything. I think a lot of people oppose what's going on, far more than one thinks. Most of
the television shows are so pro-government, there's very little articulated criticism.
iW: To what extent do you think documentary film can be a vehicle for social change?
Broomfield: I think it always has been. I think it's always been able to provide an
in-depth look at those things that newspapers or the rest of the media can't really do because
of space problems or whatever. I think you look to documentary films to explain how, the why,
to provide some understanding of the background of things. How they come about, what caused them,
to make connections between things that might be seemingly disparate but which are all joined
together. I think that's why there's such an interest in documentary film, because people are
searching for answers in this very confused political climate that we're living in.
iW: You have a very distinctive style -- within a few moments of watching one of your
films, it's immediately apparent that it's a Nick Broomfield film. How did that style come about?
Broomfield: When I was at film school, I started off being very influenced by the films of
Fred Wiseman, those kinds of more traditional, cinema verite, observational films. Then I also
read a lot of New Journalism stuff, I was quite influenced by people like Tom Wolfe. I think
with certain subjects you're limited using a traditional interview or access-driven approach. Because
that presupposes you've got cooperation or access to your subjects. And often a lot of the most
interesting subjects are off limits, because people don't want to talk. I needed to devise a style
that would enable me to look at those subjects. Obviously, something like "Kurt & Courtney,"
you couldn't do it if you were dependent on access or cooperation. There wasn't any. And so in a
sense, you get a subject to define itself by omission, more than by cooperation. That's probably
how it came about.
iW: Many of your films are about process. You pay people to talk to you, and then show
the transaction, like with Darryl Gates, the L.A. police chief in "Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam."
Broomfield: I think people reveal themselves through process. I think it's just moving
back the curtain, isn't it? It's a bit like those snatched things that politicians say into the
microphone when they think the microphone's off, that are generally a lot more revealing than
what they go on to say for the next two hours. It's an attempt to get that feeling. It's an
attempt to get the inappropriateness of paying a police chief money for an interview. You know,
he threatened to sue me for that afterwards. I said, "What are you talking about? Are you joking?
What are you going to sue me for? Are you saying it didn't happen? What you're really saying is
it's inappropriate of you to have taken the money, and I agree." And that's why it's in the film.
iW: It seems like you get in trouble a lot.
Broomfield: I suppose so, because I tend to have fairly little respect for rules,
because I think sometimes it's by challenging the rules that you get a real portrait of that
institution or that place. It forces somebody or something to define itself when it's challenged.
So I think inevitably there's quite a lot of challenging that goes on in the making of a film.
People define themselves by their rules, don't they? All the funny little things. Particularly
iW: Do you think there's ever a danger that you as the first person subject will
overtake the putative subject of the film? Do you ever wrestle with that?
Broomfield: I think whether it's me making a film, or Errol Morris making a
film, it's our relationships and who we are that basically produces the film that's being made.
In my films, it's just more stated. But it's the inherent component that makes everything the
way it is. I would say that his films or other people's films have just as distinctive a stamp
about them. It's their films, it's their statements, it's their style, it's their way of
relating to the people. But I think in a film like "Aileen Wuornos," it's Aileen that you
remember at the end of the film. As much as I would like to think that I'm the most charming
and beguiling person, it's her story, it's her execution, it's her mind that you're left with.

Molecular Scanner Takes the "Stop" Out of "Stop and Frisk" Policing
"Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away," gizmodo.com reports with breathless (if properly paranoid) optimism. "From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you." And that's just the good part. The bad part: it's only a matter of time before the Fuzzbuster lookalike molecular scanner finds its way from airports and border crossings to thousands of practitioners of "stop and frisk" policing. Concealed carry? Holster makers are already working on solutions. Or will be, soon enough.44

God-dear William Daimler (actually , * 17. March 1834 in Schorndorf; " 6. March 1900 in CAN place with Stuttgart) was a German engineer, technical designer and a Industrieller. Daimler developed the first functional motor vehicle of modern type.
Daimler became to 17. March 1834 in Schorndorf, as a son of the baker master Johannes and its wife Frederika born. After it had locked the six-form high school 1848, Daimler could be trained as the 1852 it terminated the training with the associating examination. 1853 he began to work by switching of the restaurant promoter Ferdinand of Steinbeis in a mechanical engineering company in the Graffenstaden. 1857 it left the company and began a mechanical engineering study at the poly-technical school in Stuttgart, where it followed the Corps Stauffia. After end of his study and several of Steinbeis initiated study trips abroad he began to work 1862 as a technical designer for the metal goods factory Straub in Geislingen on the Steige. 1865 were transferred it the line of the engine works of an orphan home into Reutlingen, where he met for the first time with William May brook. 1867 married Daimler the pharmacist daughter Emma Kunz, with which he had five children, among them son Paul Daimler. 1869 took over Daimler the executive committee of the workshops of the Karlsruher mechanical engineering company. Short time began also May brook later to work than technical draughtsman in the company. After three years Daimler from the mechanical engineering company changed to the gas engine factory Deutz, where he got the line of the workshops transferred by Nikolaus Otto. Also May brook changed the petrol engine to Deutz and brought 1872 under the line Daimlers to production stage. Under the line Daimlers developed the company from a small workshop to a then world enterprise.
After a controversy between Daimler and Otto left Daimler 1882 the company Deutz and created in CAN place an attempt workshop. Its goal was the development of smaller, fast constantly combustion engines, those to be universally applicable should and vehicles of all kinds to country, to water and in air propel could. After one year (1883) it announced an a cylinder four-stroke engine developed together with May brook and optimized the employment of gasoline as fuel.
A further invention of Daimler and May brook was the 1885 designed "riding cars", the first motorcycle of the world. Whereupon the installation of the "petrol engine" followed in a boat and thus the invention of the motorboat. In October 1886 Daimler built its engine into a Kutsche manufactured by William Wimpff, with which he is considered as an inventor of the of motor vehicle. (The "Kraftdroschke" of Carl Benz possessed only 3 wheels. And the opinion kolportierte still, the Mecklenburger Siegfried Marcus living in Vienna came Benz and Daimler already before 1875, disproved by clear historical sources.) 1887 built to Daimler an engine into an exhibition course (streetcar). Not for a long time after it Daimler "invented" the truck.
In order to be able to sell the developed engines, Daimler let an engine car of May brook, which was demonstrated on that Paris world exhibition design in the years 1886-1889. At the same time Carl Friedrich Benz designed the first automobile.
1887 created Daimler a factory in CAN place and equipped 1888 the car of a Gasballons with an engine. Thus one of the first airships developed. 1890 came the company into difficulties, since she could not sell sufficient vehicles. For the reorganization of the enterprise Daimler created the Daimler engine society, in which beside him and William May brook the Indstriellen max of Duttenhofer and William Lorenz were involved. Because of disputes with the Lorenz Daimler withdrew 1893 from the society. In the meantime it had developed the first two-cylinder row engine together with May brook 1892.
After the death of its wife 1889 he married 1893 Lina Schwend, with which he had two children.
By the support of the British Industriellen Frederick R. Simms, who wanted to acquire the rights at the engine only with a return Daimlers to the Daimler engine society, Daimler became 1894/95 again shareholder and finally chairman of the supervisory board. He let build 1899 by May brook a racing car, that on the name Mercedes was baptized (after the first name of the daughter of Daimlers driver, technical designer and dealer Emil Jellinek).
|Label name Daimler
|This new label name Mercedes did not serve last to deal legal difficulties with the name Daimler abroad since different companies had acquired the license there on the Daimler engines and/or thereby propelled vehicles. Thus the confusing situation developed that nowadays the company Ford holds the rights at the label name "for Daimler ". In England to today luxury sedans under this mark, to a large extent variants of jaguar types are produced, like "the Daimler double Six Vandenplas ". If the English queen in a luxury body with short, diagonally dropping trunk moves forward, then it concerns usually one "Daimler sedan ", non like one mine could - around a Rolls-Royce or Bentley.
1900 died God-dear Daimler in CAN place with Stuttgart and on the Uff Kirchhof were buried there. It left about a quarter of the share capital of the Daimler engine society to its family. Daimler had suppressed royalties from France and obtained Duttenhofer, with the menace of a scandal, from the family a renouncement of all claims to leadership. Shortly thereafter a capital increase was decided, toward which the family Daimler was back-pushed into the role of a small shareholder of the Daimler engine society, and no influence on their further development more took. 1926 were merged the Daimler engine society with the company Benz & Cie von Carl Benz into Daimler Benz AG.

Looking at today's paper, the following thoughts come to mind.
Responsibility for a better world starts with the individual, every single one of us. The individual matters. The next unit up is that of a family; bedrock of society. Man and woman lay the foundation of a family with marriage and in fact lay the foundation of a society; they ultimately lay the foundation of making a nation what it is. As such the union of marriage is indeed of pivotal importance to the world we live in and the world we wish to leave to our children. Marriage matters.
We did not come in this world of our accord. Our creation was and is part of the very finely tuned, perfectly balanced wonder of nature. Our physical and spiritual needs were pre-programmed for us and union of man and woman in marriage is one such pre-programming. Why then are we so keen to redefine the basic element of what makes us who we are?

Nate the Great Talks Turkey
by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat, Mitchell Sharmat (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A mysterious turkey is on the loose and Nate the Great refuses the case, or at least that is what he claims. Will Nate find the turkey first, or will his cousin swoop in to save the day? This realistic fiction is appropriate for intermediate readers.
Personal Response:
I really didn't think this was that great of a story. I understand that it is geared towards younger readers, where the focus is more on learning how to read, however, this story just goes around in circles and is poorly written. I know a lot of kids like reading these books, so they are serving the purpose of getting kids reading, but the librarian in me would like to see them reading something better.
Classroom/Library Uses:
Nate the Great books are excellent for teachers to use when doing mystery units. At a public library, it would be fun to have a Nate the Great night where children dress like Nate the Great and eat pancakes!

Now Sludge wants the case. Claude wants Sludge, and off they go.
Miles away . . . Nate's cousin Olivia Sharp--herself a detective--hears about the missing turkey on TV. Before he can say gobble, gobble, Olivia appears on Nate's doorstep; and just as quickly, she's off hunting for the feathered creature.
It looks as if Nate can sit this case out . . . until he turns on his TV and a picture of the turkey flashes on. Suddenly Nate is moving just as fast!

ATLANTA -- There's a new twist in health care for low income families in Northwest Atlanta.
It's called "global health"----treating not only how you feel, but making sure you eat the right foods and its happening at the Good Samaritan Health Center on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.
Good Samaritan started more than 15 years ago as a Health Center to serve low income and the uninsured, but today it includes a one-acre farm serving thousands of patients with fresh vegetables and herbs every week.
Inside Good Samaritan, a staff of doctors, nurses, assistants and host of volunteers look after the physical and mental health of more than 30,000 patients a year.
"The folks we are caring for honestly in most cases have nowhere else to go for care. We are their doctor," said Dr. Bill Warren, Founder the Chief Executive Officer of Good Samaritan.
And outside Good Samaritan, a unique concept.
A thriving one-acre farm to make sure that patients eat right.
"The concept of an urban farm is new. The concept of linking it to a health center is also new. We are the first. It is truly cutting edge when you look at the whole health of the person. We are relay bringing the circle to completion by doing this," Warren said.
Adding to it, the Center runs nutrition classes for patients, and they say their eating habits are changing.
"Eating foods as close as possible to their natural state is the best," says Sherry Motley, a patient and student in the nutrition class.
To keep the farm thriving, now with 18 varieties of vegetables and herbs-Good Samaritan needed supplies
"We need tools for our garden. Hoses, rakes, shovels, things like that,"
Warren said.
The Help Desk set out to get them for the volunteer working the farm.
What a surprise for Warren and his staff when Ace Hardware from Howell Mill Road pulled up with just about everything on the Center's wish list.
"Man alive! This is fantastic," Warren excitedly said as the truck was being unloaded.
Still on the way to Good Samaritan, a tree orchard.
And that will mean more supplies...

Andy Cohen In The Morning will continue to appear on dolphins.com Monday through Friday as long as the Dolphins are playing. The column will continue to run during the offseason, but only as events dictate.
Be sure to follow Andy Cohen on Twitter at @ACohenFins.
At this point in the season, with so much on the line, it's all about the team. Will the Dolphins make the playoffs? Will they finish with a winning record? Will they sweep the Jets? Will they bounce back from their worst showing of the season?
This is the way it should be with so much still to play for and so many goals still within reach. But if you look a little bit further, if you survey this roster from top to bottom, if you move past all those team-oriented objectives, you'll find some impressive individual statistics that could find their way into the record books if the right things transpire Sunday against the Jets.
Some examples:
• Brian Hartline needs 22 yards and Mike Wallace needs 95 yards to become the team's first pair of receivers to reach 1,000 yards in the same season since the Marks Brothers last did it back in 1991. This is impressive stuff and shows how far the passing game has come. Imagine what Wallace's numbers would be like if he and Ryan Tannehill were able to connect on some of those deep throws?
• Wallace needs two catches and Charles Clay needs five to join Hartline to give the Dolphins three receivers with at least 70 receptions for the first time in team history. That's right, at no point during Dan Marino's record-shattering seasons did three players step up the way these three have. The real surprise here is Clay, who has been so instrumental to the success of this offense and has a real chance to become one of the top receiving tight ends in the league.
• Hartline needs those 22 receiving yards to become only the fifth player in team history to have back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Isn't it time that Hartline got a little more credit for his consistency and productivity? There is no doubt that Wallace's presence has made Hartline a better player. But that shouldn't take away from his accomplishments. Hartline has the complete package of skills and, in addition, is as good as any receiver in the league at dragging his feet along the sideline to make the toughest of catches.
• Cameron Wake needs 1.5 sacks to team with Olivier Vernon to become the first Dolphins tandem in a decade to both reach 10-plus sacks. If not for a sprained knee that slowed Wake earlier in the season, he would have passed the double-digit milestone long before this. As for Vernon, he took the quantum leap that many expected this season and now has emerged as one of the top young pass rushers in the league. In fact, with 1.5 sacks against the Jets, Vernon would pass Bryan Cox for the most sacks in team history for a player in his first two seasons.
• Ryan Tannehill needs 291 yards passing against the Jets to become only the second quarterback in team history to pass for 4,000 yards in a season. On the surface, you may ask: What's the big deal? But it is a big deal. It means Tannehill was both productive and healthy for the entire season. And it also means he has elevated his game to another level in only his second season.
• One other possible accomplishment for Tannehill: With 292 yards through the air against the Jets, he will pass Dan Marino and have the fourth most yards in his first two seasons of any quarterback in NFL history, trailing only Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Cam Newton. That would put him in exclusive company.
• With one takeaway against the Jets, the Dolphins will become the only team in the NFL this season to record at least one takeaway in every game and it would be only the second time the Dolphins have done it in 35 years. Heading into this season, Coach Joe Philbin stressed takeaways. At one point, he listed it as the No. 1 objective of this team after falling so short in that category in the 2012 season. Well, the message hit home. The Dolphins are one takeaway against the Jets from this impressive feat and have already produced 18 interceptions compared to 10 a season ago.
Granted, all of these players would quickly trade any of their individual achievements for a first round date in the playoffs. That overshadows everything else. Still, these are important accomplishments that should not be overlooked.

Traveling with a baby or a small child is stressful, no two ways about it. Your routines are thrown off, your schedule is at the mercy of fate, and perhaps worst of all, you don't have the usual helpful gear at the ready. We can't make your plane take off on time, but we can help you with that last part.

About the hotel
Turtley Corn Mill has had a varied history, originally built as a Mill, then converted into a famous chicken hatchery, finally becoming a pub in the 1970's. The setting of Turtley is idyllic; located in the beautiful and varied area of Avonwick, South Hams the original Mill is set in six acres of grounds bordered by the River Glazebrook, we even have our own small lake complete with an island, perfect for sunny days and idle wandering. Perhaps surprisingly for such a picturesque location, Turtley Corn Mill is conveniently located just 2 minutes from the A38 making it easily accessible from all directions.
Turtley was completley renovated by the current owners, with the addition of the bedrooms. The interiors are light and fresh, with a noticeable absence of fruit machines, music, or pool tables, all thoughtfully replaced wth newspapers to read, books to browse, great food and beers and interesting wines. We have four double en-suite rooms here at Turtley, all with a shower and one with a bath, and all are designed and fitted out to the standard now expected by those who travel regularly. Each room is equipped with king-sized beds, duck feather and down duvets, Egyptian cotton linen, Sky free view, flat screen TV's, free internet connection and powerful, spacious showers and other thoughtful additions for your comfort and relaxation.

Pleasant room, shame about the food
The room was was comfortable and very clean but a bit cramped due to the large furniture and a double sofa.
It was annoying to have to go into the communal corridor to make a cup of tea in the morning. It was, unfortunately, pouring with rain the night we were there and the leaking gutter just outside our window was quite noisy. Then there's the restaurant.... We shared some pitta bread and hummus as a small starter but as is the way these days, the main course was served at the convenience of the staff rather than ourselves and arrived before we had finished our ' nibbles'. Unfortunately the duck 'pie' contained only a few a few strands of meat, under a mound of soggy potato. It should have been a braised duck leg under there, according to the menu. The game pie was a corner section so a lot of pastry and a shortage of meat. We declined dessert. We requested lightly cooked scrambled egg for breakfast but no luck ; it came overcooked and rather tasteless (nice smoked salmon though).

How do you use different textures efficiently, in order to create a piece which isn't too repetitive, yet can still last a long time staying "fresh"?
When listening to orchestral music from films or games, such as from Hans Zimmer or Yoko Shimomura (two of my favourite composers), I've noticed that I can keep on listening to the same pieces. For a very long time.
Although this may not seem surprising, I've noticed that it's because of the way different ideas are introduced and layered by different instruments and rhythms, during new variations of a very simple theme/motif or chord sequence.
With my music...
I find that I often use a polyphonic texture with lots of counterpoint. Because I introduce many themes/ideas at the same time, I often run out of steam too soon, which is the case in this piece I'm working on at the moment: Please give me ideas... ):
If possible, I'd like somebody to teach me how to structure my music effectively.
Of course, an unfortunately large part of the problem is my complete lack of innate ability to create a strong melody. (-_-;)
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and have a nice day! (b^_^)b

Angola Leaves Key Interest Rate Unchanged as Inflation Slows
Angola's central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 10.5 percent after inflation slowed.
The inflation rate fell to 11.4 percent in October from 11.9 percent in the previous month, the statistics office said on Nov. 14. Angola is targeting inflation of below 12 percent by the end of the year.
'Inflation has been falling,'' the Luanda-based Banco Nacional de Angola said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. "We can attain the planned target."
The Monetary Policy Committee was formed in August amid the country's attempts to improve financial management after it secured a loan from the International Monetary Fund in 2009. Commercial banks previously used domestic-bond yields and other financial instruments to determine lending costs for clients. The benchmark rate was set at 10.5 percent in the committee's first decision announced Oct. 28.
The central bank cut its overnight Luanda interbank offered rate, or Luibor, to 6.43 percent on Nov. 25 from 6.5 percent. The rate for 30-day borrowings was increased to 8.1 percent from 8.08 percent, the Luanda-based bank said on its website without giving reasons.
The kwanza has weakened 2.7 percent against the dollar this year and traded at 95.1650 as of 8:22 a.m. Luanda time. The central bank sells dollars in three foreign-currency auctions a week.

Texas Tech Adds Maines to Women's Basketball Staff
Texas Tech announced the hiring of Melissa Maines on Thursday.
June 27, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech women's basketball coach Candace Whitaker added to her inaugural staff Thursday with the hiring of Melissa Maines as the program's director of operations.
Maines returns to her hometown and alma mater after spending 10 seasons in similar roles at both Florida and Auburn.
"We are excited to have Melissa join our Lady Raider staff," Whitaker said. "She brings a wealth of experience at the Division-I level and will complement the rest of our staff well. I believe she will help us continue to grow the tradition of Lady Raider Basketball."
Maines, meanwhile, returns to Lubbock for her second stint as the program's director of operations as she also held the role from 1998-2000 before moving over to be Tech's regional director for women's athletics.
She remained in that position until 2002 when she joined the University of Florida staff as the assistant to head coach Carolyn Peck. From there, Maines moved to Auburn where she spent eight seasons as the Tigers' director of operations.
Maines earned her undergraduate degree in exercise and sport science from Tech in 1998 and then completed her masters in sports administration in 2001. She is the daughter of Steve and Debbie Maines. Steve Maines is currently the coordinator of events and facilities in the Tech athletics department.
"Melissa's Lubbock ties and contacts make this a special hire for Lady Raider Basketball," Whitaker added. "She has over 10 years of experience as a director of operations at the BCS level, so we are fortunate to have her on staff."
Maines adds to a staff that already includes assistant coaches Brett Schneider and Damitria Buchanan along with graduate assistant Layne Reeves.

Sienna Miller and Poppy Delevingne with messy buns, hairstyle copycats
The bun is one of our favourite hairstyles ever. Just when we were thinking that it had been a while since we saw any celebrities rocking the style, we spotted Poppy Delevingne and Sienna Miller with two glorious examples of style and all was well. Phew!
We couldn't help but notice that, with their hair in the same style, the two stars looked incredibly similar. So much so, we decided to pit the two lovely ladies against each other and ask you which take on the look your prefer? Vote now!
Chic vs messy
Sienna went for a classic chic ballerina style bun. It was the perfect choice of style to match her chic leopard print dress. This is a great style to steal for a job interview or for an event where you want to seem really put-together. It's a super flattering look that will also draw attention to your makeup; so, it's a great way to show off that new lipstick!
Poppy on the other hand went for a more deconstructed approach to the bun style. Instead of twisting her locks into a tight chignon like Sienna, she bundled her hair up into a much looser, messy bun. The loose strands of hair created a soft, romantic finish. This was the perfect bun to match Poppy's adorably sunggly winter jumper, bravo!
The verdict?
It's so had to choose a winner as both stars are rocking different vibes but we do love a messy bun so Poppy would win by a whisker for playing to our strengths! Do you agree? Let us know by voting above!

Analyst Sebastian Colin of Baird Equity Research says that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will break records today. His firm expects Call of Duty to set a new record for first day sales, surpassing last year's Black Ops, and "taking its place in history as a top-five media property, with Avatar, Titanic, Thriller and Black Ops." Despite the positive outlook on Modern Warfare 3's release, Colin cautions that there might be some near-term risk from lower World of Warcraft subscriber numbers to be reported after the close – even with Activision's shares closing at a three-year high Monday.
Colin says that strong sales of MW3 should help offset declines in WoW. Sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 should reach 18-19 million units in Q4, slightly higher than last year. This should generate roughly $1.1 – $1.2 billion in retail sales. Call of Duty: Black Ops exceeded $1 billion at retail last year in Q4, following record day-one sales of 5.6 million units and $360 million in volume.
"Activision will report its Q3 earnings this afternoon; we believe a strong performance by Call of Duty should help offset further declines in World of Warcraft subscriptions, which we still expect will stabilize in the 10-11 million range."
Colin also estimates that October video game sales increased 5 – 10 percent, with Batman: Arkham City and Battlefield 3 performing well and helping to offset declines in second tier software. He also expects that seven of the top 10 console titles are on the Xbox 360, with two on the PS3 and one for Wii.

WWII Navy vet remembers
Samuel Gatto, 92, manned the radio booth on D Day as his ship took part in the invasion of France at Omaha Beach in Cherbourg, France. He served in England, the Azores, and Portugal, as well as at Headquarters and Communications as a Radioman, Third Class.
On board LCI 492, he saw the Allied invasion as it happened, and many years later, watching "Saving Private Ryan" in daughter Pamela Staats' living room, he was troubled and said, "That is just how it was."
He volunteers that he was at Omaha Beach on D Day, but finds it difficult to talk about a war long over.
Gatto's wartime home was LCI-492 (landing craft infantry), the Navy's smallest oceangoing vessel, which could put troops directly on the beach. This vessel landed as part of the invasion of Normandy on D-Day, which changed the course of the war.
Gatto was chosen as a World War II honoree for the online memorial wwiimemorial.com. The information on the website was compiled by his daughters, Pamela and Sharon, based on a book he had assembled of his service records and memorabilia.
Born Salvatore Michael Gatto, he took on the name Samuel in his youth. His parents, Gaetano "Thomas" and Maria Molinaro Gato, both emigrated from Italy while young: he from Sicily, she from Calabria.
He had six brothers and six sisters, some of whom died in early childhood.
He now lives in Montrose with his daughter Pamela, but was raised in Carbondale, which was his hometown for many years. He was a newspaper boy for the Scranton Times, and eventually expanded his route so successfully he was able to sub-contract to his younger siblings.
After paper route, found a factory job in Patterson, N.Y., and enlisted from there.
"After boot camp, I was sent to a radio operator school at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio," he said. He completed radio and booth training, and a survival course before he went overseas.
He married Mary Jane Cerra, and had two daughters. His wife passed away in 1990.
"After the war, Dad had a series of jobs in factories and plants," Staats said. "He retired from Hendricks Manufacturing in Carbondale."
He likes to read to pass the time.
His memory book includes his birth and baptism certificates, his Navy enlistment and involuntary extension of service, and his honorable discharge documents dated Dec. 23, 1945, which allowed him to make it home for Christmas Eve.
"I was able to surprise my mother," Gatto said with a smile.
Also in his binder are several postcards sent to family members from "somewhere in France, 1944″ which is all he was allowed to write.

Watson lands the Cobbett Cup at East Devon
16:19 28 August 2012
David Watson landed the Cobbett Cup recently at the East Devon Golf Club.
Watson finished with 45 points to land the top spot in Division One, winning the Cup by a healthy margin of seven points!
The Cobbett Cup was presented to the Club in 1908 by a member, F J Cobbett.
He decreed that the format should be Stableford with a maximum handicap of 21 and played for in August each year.
Playing with a southerly breeze in warm and dry conditions it was near perfect for the 108 players who entered the competition.
Playing off a handicap of seven Watson powered to victory with James Thomas (2) and Richard Eltham (6) both completing their rounds with 38 points to take second and third place in Division One respectively.

Teacher doing better after accident
January 19, 2012
Last week, Central-Denison Elementary School staff gathered to think positively and students made special cards all with wishes for fifth-grade teacher Carol Nocek's recovery following a serious car accident Jan. 7, in Lake Geneva.
It appears the well wishes and notes from students have Nocek on the road to recovery, according to Central-Denison Principal Samantha Polek.
Since her accident, Nocek, who is at Froedtert in Wauwatosa, has had three surgeries. But Polek said a supportive picture of many at the school wearing red in honor of her and a video of a positive thought/prayer meeting by staff had good effects on Nocek.
According to Lake Geneva police, at about 11:29 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 7, Nocek's vehicle had stopped at a sign at the intersection of Dodge Street and Elmwood Avenue. She proceeded through the intersection when she was struck by a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed.
The vehicle was northbound on Elmwood, didn't stop at the stop sign and crashed into Nocek's vehicle. She was taken via Flight for Life for treatment of her injuries, which were not specified by police at the time.
Soon after the accident, Polek said teachers were notified via e-mail and most of them were aware of the crash by Monday when they arrived at school. That's also when staff joined for the positive thought meeting, which included holding hands and saying a few words of hope for Nocek.
At that time, reports were her injuries were severe and she was in intensive care. Polek said fellow fifth-grade teachers, guidance counselor and administrators visited each fifth-grade classroom to talk to the students about what happened to their teacher. She said the information relayed to them was positive.
"We told them she was injured, but she was a strong person, who was a runner, and that would help her recover," Polek said. "It was a message of hope."
A long-term sub who has experience in the fifth grade at Central-Denison has taken over and letters were sent home to parents explaining the current situation.
"The kids were very concerned about her," Polek said. "Some kids had her as their fourth-grade teacher last year and now have her again and they know her very well."
Polek said many have been asking what they can do to help out the family. She said the school is collecting cash donations to purchase a Kindle or some type of electronic device so Nocek can spend her recovery time in the hospital reading, which she loves to do, according to Polek.

Evan will be 5 in June & I must admit that I love the stage he's in right now. He's articulate, funny and smart (not that I'm biased or anything). Unfortunately the flip side of that is that he can be pushy, demanding & whiny. If I'm honest with myself, and you, I will admit that occasionally when he falls into those behaviour patterns the first thing I want to do is say "Okay…I give in…you win…just SHHHHHHHH!"
That would fall under the "pushover" category for sure.
Other times I yell "Stop that NOW or you are going to your ROOM (or losing video game privileges or getting a toy taken away)." Unfortunately I suck at the follow through so I end up looking like a pushover pretending to be a hard ass (and failing miserably).
When I am at my best, I am firm (without yelling) and I offer him options, choices or solutions to his frustration. If he decides not to chose that route, then he goes to his room until he can be more calm and less bossy about the situation. This route, while better, often ends in tears (his) and frustration (mine) at how long it takes to get him to see reason. I know that it is the better choice parenting wise and for his future but….
why is it so hard?
I know, I know, no one ever said parenting was easy.
