Judge Pirro: 'I'm Convinced My Mom Could Do a Better Job...'
Check out Judge Jeanine Pirro's powerful opening statement from last night's 'Justice' and watch the video.
My mom knew everything. She knew when I was down the street arguing with my sister Lulu about whose turn it was to walk the new dog or ride the new bike.
And when I listen to the Obama White House, I give her even more credit.
No one in this administration knows anything.
Tea Party Chair: Why All Americans Should Be Fired Up Over IRS Targeting
Charles Krauthammer: IRS Scandal Could Be "Fatal" for White House
Hello and welcome to 'Justice.' I'm Judge Jeanine Pirro. Thanks for being with us tonight.
The president didn't know that the inspector general was investigating his IRS for targeting political enemies.
The president didn't know anything about his Justice Department's seizure of Associated Press records.
The attorney general didn't know anything about his department's subpoena of AP records, but then again, Holder's the one who didn't know anything about Fast and Furious, either.
And of course, Hillary didn't know anything about requests for help in Benghazi.
And Joe Biden, well he just doesn't know anything about anything!
So who's running the joint? I'm convinced my mom could do a better job.
This week, on full display, the White House is reeling after revelations that the IRS targeted political enemies. And the Justice Department engaged in the wholesale seizing of press phone records.
What to do?
President Obama said, "We are out there trying to hunt down the folks who carried this out, and we are trying to make sure that we fix the system so that it doesn't happen again."
Weren't you going to do that with Benghazi? Not only did you not get the facts there, truth is, you lied about the facts, didn't you? Truth is, you didn't even send your investigators there for three weeks, giving the terrorists, the press, and anyone who wanted the chance to rummage through the classified documents that Ambassador Chris Stevens didn't have that golden hour to destroy, because your consulate didn't meet minimum security standards.
But to the IRS. You really want to hunt down the folks that carried this out? I'll tell you where to look. Start with IRS agents at the Cincinnati office -- the guys you first tried to blame. Put them in a grand jury. And ask them under oath which supervisors told them to withhold tax exempt status from anyone who might criticize your administration. You feds know how to do that. You do it all the time. And by the way, the system doesn't need to be fixed. Your administration needs to be fixed.
If you want the truth, tell your director of the IRS exempt division -- the learned Lois Lerner, the one who says she's not good at math -- not to lie to Congress, which she did when she said that her screening process was unbiased. When in truth, two years ago, she knew her agents were flagging all cases of anyone who criticized your administration. But of course, Mr. President, you'll get to the bottom of this.
So now you tell Steven Miller, acting director of the IRS, that he has to go? With all due respect Mr. President, mindless Miller wasn't even there when this all happened.
And, he was leaving in a couple weeks anyway!
So you fire the acting commissioner who wasn't even there when the wrongdoing occurred.
Instead, you give Sarah Ingram, the tax exempt division commissioner, who was there -- implementing this abuse of power -- a plum assignment in charge of the tax agency that oversees the ObamaCare office.
And you want her to do what? You want her to oversee my healthcare?
You want my health, my life in her hands?
You who look at me through political filters?
You who want to know what books I read? What candidates I support. And whether I might someday run for office?
You and your IRS and ObamaCare henchmen - or, in the case of Benghazi, a lack thereof?
You and your IRS ObamaCare henchmen decide if I get that mastectomy?
Or a prosthesis for my limb that got blown off because you can't listen to another country that goes out of its way.
Give us a tip about the Boston bomber - not once, but twice - about two terrorist dirt bags who you're housing, educating, and funding? Who want to kill us...
And who gets to do it because your FBI and ICE agents can't for the life of them figure out how to identify and stop someone from coming back into our country after spending 6 months in the country from which they supposedly sought political refuge?
O'Reilly Factor Surveys Americans on Benghazi and IRS ... With SHOCKING Results
But maybe I'm spending too much time on Benghazi.
Then you engage in a massive, unprecedented intrusion of the phone records of journalists and editors offices, home phones and cell phones. This is serious stuff. We are not North Korea. This is not Iran.
A little primer here. If law enforcement wants press records, you notify the press, you negotiate with the press, and you give them a chance to challenge in court.
Unless... There is a substantial threat to the investigation.
You were in negotiations with the AP. They agreed to embargo or hold back your story.
There are always two reasons for things. The given reason, and the real reason. Mr. President, you were in the middle of a very tight presidential race, and you planned a press conference to beat your drum about how you dashed another terrorist plot. And when the very people you asked to embargo the story heard you were about to do the same story, they scooped you, and did it first.
Time to get even and target the press?
President Obama said, "US national security is dependent on those folks being able to operate with confidence that folks back home have their backs. So they're not just left out there high and dry … I don't think the American people would expect me, as the commander in chief, not to be concerned about information that might compromise their missions or might get them killed."
Gee, too bad you didn't use that reasoning in Benghazi when you had a chance but still left American soldiers high and dry.
How can you say that you didn't notify anyone because it was a threat to national security when you were about to disclose the very same information? Might you have done it in a more self serving way?
Now your attorney general, in-over-his-head Holder, is the one who has to personally sign off on this kind of subpoena. He says he knows nothing about it because he recused himself. Really? Where's the recusal letter? Where's the memo? Where's the phone call?
Okay. So we know you lied about one stylistic change on Benghazi. And by the way, it was nice of you to do an email dump on Friday afternoon, in the midst of two other burgeoning scandals. I've read those emails. Why were they classified in the first place? There's nothing confidential in them, unless of course confidential means it makes you look bad.
And even Petraeus, who may be a philanderer, was honest enough to say: Frankly, I'd just assume not use this. Translation: lie.
Interesting how word of his affair comes to light right after that. Sounds like a classic Obama Chicago squeeze plan. Excuse my pun.
But maybe I'm spending too much time on Benghazi. According to righteous Harry Reid, the president was right to call Benghazi a sideshow.
Harry Reid said, "They're hyperventilating about Benghazi. President Obama was absolutely right to call this a sideshow. This is about smear politics and nothing else."
Hyperventilating? I'll tell you what Mr. Reid, and no due respect intended here:
There were only two people hyperventilating in Benghazi. They're the ones painted by Al Qaeda-linked lasers - two men on a roof who disobeyed your order to stand down, waited hours for help that never came because you wouldn't give the cross border authority order, and instead, fired up Air Force One for your Las Vegas fundraiser, and went to bed.
So don't give me your holier than thou rhetoric, and your arrogant condescending hogwash that you're going to get.
Rid of all the wrongdoers or throw us a few crumbs like the grainy pictures of terrorists 8 months after an attack. Or give me your "I'm going to fix it" riff.
And do us all a favor - explain a few things.
Why is it that you apologize to Muslims and you lie to Americans? Why is it that you use the IRS to silence political dissent and the DOJ to threaten the press? Why is it that you mobilize the IRS to go after political enemies, but can't mobilize troops to save American lives in Benghazi?
Greg Hicks said it best. He's the man who fought to get help for Americans, put his life on the line in Benghazi, who you demoted to a desk job.
You can't continue to embarrass us anymore.
The American people want the truth. The American people can handle the truth. We don't need your Jack Nicholson moment:
We have the right to know it. We have the right to expect it.
In fact, we have the right to demand it.
I'm still convinced my mom could do a better job.

Lily Collins is just two years into her burgeoning film career, but the 22-year-old actress has already racked up an impressive collection of A-list co-stars, including Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts. And, of course, "Twilight" hunk Taylor Lautner, who stars alongside Collins in the upcoming "Abduction."
Click for exclusive photos from Fall's biggest flicks.
The action-thriller centers on Lautner's Nathan, who goes on the run with classmate Karen (Collins) to uncover his true identity after he discovers he's actually a missing child. In anticipation of the September 23 release, we called up Collins to chat about this latest action-packed role, doing her own stunts and … that smooch with Lautner.
MTV: Where does your character, Karen, fit on the spectrum of damsel in distress to kickass heroine?
Lily Collins: We meet her in high school at the beginning of the story, and she's had some sort of awkward past with Nathan that is alluded to, and they're really awkward with each other at the beginning. She's [a] cheerleader-kind of popular girl in school. And through this school assignment, she's thrown into this crazy on-the-run journey with Nathan. And she starts out a young high school student and she grows into a woman quite fast during the story. She ends up kicking butt.
MTV: We've seen Lautner sliding down buildings and generally being badass in the trailer, but how physical was this role for you?
Collins: I get physical in the film but also use my surroundings and take note and use my mind to get out of things, like my female smarts.
I got to do pretty much all of my own stunts. Ever since "Priest," I've gotten really into stunt training. For "Snow White," it's been very intense fight training and fencing for a few months, but not for "Abduction." I didn't have training. I'd get to try things out a couple of times before we actually shot it. For me, I love just kind of diving into it. I don't mind if I'm bruised or bumped or whatever. I feel like the more bumps and bruises I get, the more into it I'm getting and the more real it's looking.
MTV: We have to talk about that hot train kiss between you and Taylor. You know MTV likes to give out Golden Popcorns for such things. Could you see "Abduction" scoring a Best Kiss honor at the Movie Awards?
Collins: [Laughs] Well, let's just say the trailer only shows a minor part of that scene. So I think when people see the entire scene and where it starts and where it ends, I think people will get a little bit more excited about the scene when they see the entire thing. It was a crazy, funny scene to shoot, and Taylor made everything very comfortable. We'll see what people say. Like I said, the trailer shows only a minor part of it.
MTV: Perhaps you just answered this next question, but what was your favorite scene to film?
Collins: [Laughs] No. [It's when] the house explodes and we have to jump into the pool and we have debris falling on us. We did a separate day when we filmed solely underwater because we're thrown into this pool, and the camera goes underwater and fire is everywhere. I'd never done something like that. You know, holding your breath for however long it was and having fire in the swimming pool we shot in and stuff falling on you, it was really so in the moment and energetic and very crazy to be shooting like that.
From "Abduction" to "Muppets, "Moneyball" to "Breaking Dawn," the MTV Movies team is delving into the hottest upcoming flicks in our 2011 Fall Movie Preview. Check back daily for exclusive clips, photos and interviews with the films' biggest stars.

L'Esperance, Alliance Laundy CEO. "While revenues were in line with our expectations, cost controls delivered bottom line results which slightly exceeded our expectations."The second quarter 2009 net revenue losses were pulled down by a $13.6 million non-cash mark-to-market adjustment related to the establishment of a new asset-backed facility. Free of such adjustments, this year's second-quarter revenues increased $4.8 million, or 4.4 percent, compared to the previous year's figures.Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased $14.7 million to $206.0 million from $191.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

"Our core strategies have not changed. We will continue to focus on our customer one initiative, and will continue to grow our presence outside of the U.S. and Canada."

Cyanocobalamin vs. Hydroxocobalamin
Even before Mom was diagnosed, she had a B-12 deficiency. Her GP has her on Cyanocobalamin injections bimonthly. Now I'm hearing that Hydroxocobalamin would be better. Any thoughts/experiences?
Methylcobalamin is the form of B12 most MSers seem to take...at least the ones who visit MS boards. It's more bioactive (available to the body) than cyanocobalamin. Some doctors may not be aware of the difference.
Hydroxycobalamin is also more bioactive than cyanocobalamin.
That doesn't mean cyanocobalamin injections won't correct your mother's B12 deficiency, though. Repeat testing will show when she reaches a normal level.
If, however, she needs to continue with [U]oral[/U] B12 for maintenance, methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin might be better choices than cyanocobalamin. I'm not a medical professional, though, so this is just my opinion.

I've heard the same about b12- in fact I was supplementing then found out I was on the high end so had to stop for about 1 month. Also, when checking b12 levels you need to ask for the serum level, which is the most accurateDiagnosed June 2011, Avonex 7/11-12/11

I've had methylcobalamin (sorry if spelling wrong) which was great & cyanocobalalomin (again sorry spelling) which did next to nothing. The Dr I spoke to as why this might be explained the methyl one crosses the blood brain barrier faster & is more readily assimilated. Don't know if thats true but there was a remarkable difference. Had 3 times weekly for the first two weeks then fortnightly after that.

Just ordered a 2003 Bianchi Volpe today from Jack Johnston Bicycles in Dallas. They gave it to me for $800 (Bianchi lists it for $850) plus 10% of any accessories I bought with it. Then just for grins they threw in 2 free cages and a water bottle. Great shop.
I would have liked to go nuts with the accessories, but they didn't have all the racks and bags I wanted. But I did buy a Blackburn EX-1 rear rack, a new floor pump, and a third cage.
Now I need a little help with the set-up. From my old bike, I already have a Brooks Team Pro saddle, Time ATAC pedals, and a computer. They are going to put all that on when they assemble the bike.
I don't plan on changing any of the gearing unless I find the need to later. It comes with Tiagra up front and Deore in the rear. I forget the exact gearing, but I think the granny gear is 25 gear inches.
I will probably start with a pair of Arkel GT-30 panniers. I'll put them on the back on days I commute (not as often as I should) and for a few light weekend tours. Then if I ever get the urge to haul myself out on a longer tour I'll move them up front and get the GT-54's for the back.
What I need help with is tires. It comes with some Bontrager Select 35C's. I'm a firm believer in listening to the advice of people with more experience than me. Most of you have reccommended Continental Top Touring tires for touring. I plan to get a pair.
The bike will be used for fitness rides, centuries, jaunts to the grocery store, and the occaisional light weekend tour. I am 30 and in good shape. My fitness rides go 25-50 miles at 18-20 mph on my old road bike. I tend to think the 35C's will be sluggish on the days I'm trying to pretend I'm Lance. But then again they will work great on the days I'm hauling gear around. I can say that the fitness rides will definitely outnumber the tours, for now anyway. Should I get a set of skinnier slicker tires for everyday riding, and save the 35C's for the days I load the bike down? Will it make much of a difference when the bike is already 26 pounds?
I'm looking at the Continental Ultra Gatorskin 700 X 28C for my fitness rides and a par of fat Top Tourings for tours.
Thanks y'all.

Update Notes

Update Notes
Updated on: 12/24/2015
Since we last visited OyeLoca...
I've heard of "living la vida loca," but not being fluent in Spanish I was unsure what Oye Loca meant or why the word crazy (loca) would find itself in the URL of a porn site. These guys have an explanation and mission statement, though. To put it simply, they're dedicated to finding and fucking all the hot and crazy (read: wild) Latin babes in Miami. It isn't really an original concept, but it was one that I, being a fan of Latinas, was quite happy with.
OyeLoca is your typical reality site. Scenes begin with the cameraman and the resident fucker searching for Latin pussy. Sometimes they know the girls and other times they have to pick the chicks up at the pool or beach. You can check the cuties out for yourself in the 203 videos and many come in Full HD.
Gorgeous faces grace equally gorgeous figures with just the right amount of curves. Still, these guys aren't exactly bringing anything new to the table when it comes to classic reality-style porn. (I always get a kick out of the pickup part of the scenes.) At any rate, the hardcore action certainly won't leave you undecided when it comes to intensity. These Latinas are damn sexy, with perky breasts, round booties and they talk dirty in Spanish. The licking, sucking, fucking and cumming is bang-on!
There are also 203 photo galleries to download in Zip files and each one has pics that are often quite big. You get some sweet softcore posing before these Latin ladies strip off their skimpy outfits to get down to the hardcore sex. My favorite spread shows a chick who does a shoot in exchange for the chance to marry her male costar's cousin. She earns her way into the U.S. - and my heart. She's so fresh-faced and innocent despite eagerly agreeing to the indecent proposal.
A membership includes more than 20 other sites for you to visit from the Team Skeet network, including Solo Interviews, The Real Workout, Her Freshman Year, Titty Attack and Innocent High. The "news" section is actually a blog and it has links to interesting stories and hot pics on other sites. These extras may come in handy, because updates only come around once a month these days.
Oye Loca continues to offer red-hot exclusive porn. If you love Latinas and hardcore action, it's worth your while to give the site a try. Plus there are lots of useful features here, like a favorites section, keyword tags and an advanced search.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 75% Date: 01/06/2010
Actually, most of scenes are good, and the girls are quite cute.. The only desagrement (as in some famous others sites) comes from the videoman, who seems obliged to talk all (or nearly all) movie long, making comments, laughing, etc, so some times the movie becomes as exciting as eating a ham sandwich when you are not hungry at all, you get really bored!
That is a major point which will not make come back

When a variable is reassigned, the destructor is not called:
Object foo = Object(a,b);
foo = Object(c,d);
so, the destructor will only be called at the end of the scope for Object(c,d), which can obviously cause problems. Now, in this specific case it doesn't bother me too much: it is enough to declare 2 different objects:
Object foo1 = Object(a,b);
Object foo2 = Object(c,d);
In this way the destructor of both objects will be called at the end.
However, there is a case when I necessarily need to reassign a variable, i.e. in an object constructor such as:
SuperObject(Point point1, Point point2) : delay_object_(DelayObject(0)) {
double distance = distance(point1, point2);
double delay = distance / speed;
delay_object_ = DelayObject(delay);
In fact the DelayObject parameter is not easy to calculate (in this example I also omitted a few other passages), and I want to avoid doing it in the initialisation list.
I thought I can force the deletion by putting the object in the heap and explicitly calling the destructor:
SuperObject(Point point1, Point point2) : p_delay_object_(new DelayObject(0)) {
double distance = distance(point1, point2);
double delay = distance / speed;
delete p_delay_object_;
p_delay_object_ = new DelayObject(delay);
but this really looks ugly to me, as I prefer to use dynamic allocation only when strictly necessary. Am I missing something?

- 1 Cordova (PhoneGap) for Qt
Cordova (PhoneGap) for Qt
The goal of the project is to develop a version of Cordova for Qt 5. This will help the adoption of Qt 5 in general, and on platforms using Qt 5 such as the Raspberry Pi board, Nokia N9 (in future), and any future devices that run Qt 5.
The code is backwards source compatible with Qt 4 (using #ifdefs, etc. as needed).
Note that Cordova was formerly known as PhoneGap before being acquired by Adobe (you may also see references to the name Apache Callback).
The code is being developed publicly as an open source project. We have a blog hat reports progress on the project.
As of April 2012 the code is considered beta quality and works with the Qt 5 alpha release. It also works with Qt 4.
Getting Started
The README.md file has some basic instructions on using Cordova for Qt.
If you are familiar with PhoneGap/Cordova but not Qt, you may find these links helpful:
- http://qt.io/resources/getting_started
- http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/guide/html/Developer_Library_Getting_started_with_Harmattan_using_Qt_SDK.html
If you are familiar with Qt but not PhoneGap/Cordova you may find these links helpful:
How To Contribute
We welcome anyone who wants to contribute to the the project in any way, whether it is development, testing, documentation, etc.
You can access the source code here. It builds on both for Qt4 and Qt5.
For project discussion, use the callback-dev mailing list and mention cordova-qt in the subject line.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail Jeff Tranter.
Project Team
At ICS:
- Jeff Tranter, Engineering Manager
- David Jacobs, Project Manager
- Alejandro Narancio, Developer
- Denis Kormalev, Developer
- Longwei Su, Developer
Other developers who may help:
- Wolfgang Koller (Viras)- working on Qt 4 port
- Anis Kadri - liaison at Adobe
- Lauri Paimen - created experimental port of QML to the web browser. May be able to share code.
- Arend van Beelen jr. (Arendjr) - worked on Qt 4 PhoneGap
- Igor Montagner (igordsm) - worked on Qt 4 PhoneGap
- Bundyo - working on Harmattan PhoneGap port (unfortunately uses native Harmattan libs too) (Qt 4.7)
- Use the simulator provided by the Qt SDK.
- Use the Nokia N9 running Qt 5 as the reference platform for phone-specific hardware (GPS, touchscreen, sensors, etc.).
- Also use the Raspberry Pi running the QtonPi as a Qt 5 platform.
- The port should only call APIs from Qt 5 (including mobility) and so not be specific to the Raspberry Pi or N9.
- In general we won't implement any PhoneGap API functions that aren't supported by the underlying Qt 5.
Qt 5.0 will not be released until around summer 2012. Need a stable version that we can use before then. We are currently using what is in git and the Qt 5 alpha and beta releases as they become available.
The interface to WebKit exposed by QtWebKit is changing significantly with Qt 5 due to changes in WebKit.

Building Cordova Qt Using Qt 5 Alpha
The software will build using the Qt 5 Alpha. Build Qt 5 as per the instructions here. Cordova Qt also needs the add-on modules qtfeedback and qtpim which are not part of the Alpha. You need to check these out of git and build them as well, e.g.
tar xzf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.0-alpha.tar.gz cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.0 git clone git://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtfeedback.git git clone git://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtpim.git export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/qtbase/bin ./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests -nomake examples ./build -j 3
Or, if you have already built the Qt 5 Alpha, build the additional two modules using:
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests -nomake examples make module-qtfeedback make module-qtpim
Then build Cordova Qt as usual, i.e. make sure that the Qt 5 qmake is in your PATH, and run qmake and then make (or do the equivalent if using an IDE like Qt Creator).
Known Issues
- Some features are only supported on certain platforms due to limitations of Qt Mobility or platform-specific code
- QtWebKit2 in Qt 5 alpha has an issue with mouse press events not working on the desktop. Waiting on QtWebKit team to resolve it. This is not an issue on embedded devices.
Running Cordova Tests
There is a test suite for Cordova. Here are the steps to follow to run the Cordova tests with Cordova Qt. Currently a number of tests fail but this is improving over time. After each step is listed a command that should work to do this on a Linux system from the command line. Adjust it as needed for the locations of Qt and the Qt SDK on your system.
1. Check out the code for Cordova Qt if you have not already done so.
git clone git://git.apache.org/incubator-cordova-qt.git
2. Check out the code for the Cordova tests.
git clone git://git.apache.org/incubator-cordova-mobile-spec.git
3. Go into the Cordova Qt project and copy the files from the Cordova Mobile Spec project into the www directory.
cd incubator-cordova-qt cp -a ../incubator-cordova-mobile-spec/* www
4. Build Cordova Qt (using command line or Qt Creator as you prefer). You can build it for the desktop simulator or a real device.
~/QtSDK/Simulator/Qt/gcc/bin/qmake make
5. Run Cordova Qt. You will see the lists of tests, and can run individual tests or all tests.
A video that shows the tests running can be found here
Here is a summary of the automated test results as of 1 Jun 2012:
Qt 4.7.4 using the Qt Desktop Simulator: 179 pass, 50 fail, of 229 tests (78%)
Nokia N9 running Harmattan PR1.2 Qt 4: 178 pass, 51 fail of 229 tests (78%)
Nokia E7 running Symbian Qt 4: 103 pass, 126 fail of 229 tests (45%)
Failures are currently in these areas:
Capture- APIs not implemented due to lack of support in Qt Mobility. Contacts - some miscellaneous test failures. File - some misc. failures. Media - APIs not implemented as these are being deprecated in favor of W3C specs.
Wikipedia Mobile Demo Application
We have done some preliminary work to port Wikipedia Mobile to Cordova Qt. A demo video of it running can be seen at here . A video showing how to build and run it can be seen at here and another one at here .
The code is available at https://github.com/dkormalev/WikipediaMobile.git . To check the code out do a git clone of https://github.com/dkormalev/WikipediaMobile.git and then git checkout the "qt" branch. Open Qt/WikipediaMobile.pro in Qt Creator and build for your desired platform, e.g. Qt Simulator or or a real phone.
Tips and Tricks
Here are some things we found when building Qt 5, WebKit, and Cordova Qt.
- When running cordova-qt on a real device (e.g. N9) it helps to run it by sshing to the device and starting it in the right directory so it will find the www/index.html and other files (you also had to copy these files to the phone).
- You may want to build each module of Qt 5 individually to save time and have better control over what is built
- If you want Geolocation support, build WebKit with the —geolocation —client-based-geolocation
- Project Blog
- PhoneGap project site
- Apache Cordova project incubator site
- Source code repository
- Read-only mirror of repository for pull requests
- QtonPi project
- How to build Qt 5 from git
- How to build QtWebKit from git
- See this video from Bundyo showing initial PhoneGap support for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan (Qt 4.7)
- Github PhoneGap fork for Harmattan from Bundyo. Initial seed, started implementing Contacts API.
- QMLWeb is another reference to consider. His maintainer, Lauri Paimen, is aware of this PhoneGap project.
- Wikipedia_Android_PhoneGap-_Tomasz_and_Yuvi.pdf&page=1 Wikipedia PhoneGap app first hand experiences targeting Android (more complex than planned) and then porting to iOS, Blackberry, etc (a lot easier then expected).

A black bear cub was spotted in Camas this afternoon, but seemed to venture back into the nearby forested area without any trouble.
The Camas Police Department received a call just before 3 p.m. from a resident who eyed a cub hanging out in a tree just south of Round Lake by the 311-acre Lacamas Park. Soon after, another caller said they saw a small bear running along Northeast Everett Street in the same area.
An animal control officer responded, but couldn't find a bear, said Camas Police Department Sgt. Scot Boyles.
He said bears are known to visit the city a few times a year.
"It's not uncommon to see bears in the woods in that area," Boyles said.
Last fall there were a handful of bear sightings in Camas, also near Round Lake. That led the Camas School District to suspend activities in October at the lake, including cross-country practices.

On his first visit to Garfield County since being elected, Republican Scott Tipton, the future U.S. representative for the 3rd Congressional District, emphasized his small-business and small-town roots and his determination to concentrate on reviving the economy as the first priority of his new job.
Tipton, who hails from Cortez, met with local officials, reporters and a couple of just-plain-folks at the Garfield County Regional Airport on Tuesday, as part of a whirlwind tour of his district.
"It's going to be jobs and the economy," he said of his focus once he is sworn in next January.
For a little more than an hour, Tipton heard about the concerns of local officials and gave them an idea of what they can expect from him.
Tipton defeated incumbent Democrat John Salazar in the Nov. 2 election by a margin of 50 percent to 45 percent of the vote. His margin of victory was similar in Garfield County, where Tipton won by 8,880 to 8,234 votes.
His district, as he noted, sprawls across more than 54,000 square miles of western Colorado's mountainous terrain, and has a population of more than 614,000.
"If we were flattened out," he quipped, "we'd be larger than Texas."
The litany of the day, both from local officials and from Tipton himself, was the depressed state of the economy.
County manager Ed Green told Tipton that the two main types of employment in Garfield County, the oil and gas industry and the building trades, both are suffering and need some kind of boost.
He also mentioned that the county has high hopes for economic development connected to the recently improved county airport.
Tipton indicated that he understands the problems Green mentioned and pledged to do what he can to solve the underlying economic problems and get the area back to work.
In response to a reporter's question about the oil and gas industry, and whether stricter state regulations adopted in 2007 were the cause of the ongoing slump in the industry here, Tipton said, "There's no doubt that that's what happened."
Some observers, however, say the industry was derailed by a sudden drop in natural gas prices, which have yet to recover to prerecession levels.
Regarding the stricter regulations, he said, "Were all of them bad? Of course not. You have to be sure you [drill for oil and gas] responsibly," and ensure that industry activities do not pollute the air or the water.
He said he believes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has overstepped its bounds in many ways recently, but particularly in regard to a planned EPA study of the possible hazards of hydraulic fracturing, or "frac'ing," of gas and oil wells.
Mayor Keith Lambert of Rifle maintained that his community has been essentially "a one-industry town" for decades, starting with the oil shale boom and bust of the 1970s and early 1980s, and declared, "We're tired of the roller coaster ride."
Tipton, agreeing that Rifle needs a more stable and sustainable economy, told Lambert, "I'm looking forward to talking with you about that."
Tipton also promised, in response to comments by Carbondale resident Jim Sorensen, to try to help homeowners avoid foreclosure as a result of the collapse of the housing market and the ongoing recession.
"It's a quagmire," Tipton admitted, explaining that while some favor a move by the federal government to freeze foreclosures by banks and other institutions, he believes "that's not sound business practice."
Explaining that the free market must be given a chance to find the solutions, he said, "There's going to be some difficult times before we work our way through it."
He was pressed by another Carbondale resident, Judy Fox-Perry, concerning his feelings about a proposal to preserve some 200,000 acres of backcountry terrain known as Thompson Divide.
"We feel it's worth protecting from oil and gas development," she told him.
Tipton gave her the e-mail address of his office and promised to sit down with the group she represented, the Thompson Divide Coalition, and talk about the issue.
Although outgoing Rep. Salazar had promised to introduce legislation to preserve the area, he reportedly has not done so and is not expected to do so before leaving office.
He expounded on his party's plans for the U.S. Congress, including a pledge to do away with "earmarks," which are provisions attached by legislators to large and complicated bills and that call for specific spending on specific projects, usually in that legislator's home state.
And he said he agrees with his party's leader, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, about not compromising with Democrats on certain issues, such as health care reform.
"You can't compromise on your core principles," he told his audience.
But, he added, "We should still be able to figure out ways to move the ball forward" on issues where the parties agree, such as a need for a different kind of health care reform than the bill passed earlier this year.
He said his staff already is busy setting up offices around the district, and that he plans to spend up to one week per month back in the district, thanks to rules being proposed by the new Republican majority leaders of the House of Representatives.

SO I want to start building up some steel bikes and have a few questions in regards to my weight.
I am 6'2" and go #240 to #260 sometimes in the spring. Are there certain frame tubes I need to stay away from because of my weight. Are there some that are more ideal? I have a 60cm Tommasini Sintesi in SLX but I'm just a bit afraid I might break it so I only ride it when I'm on the low end of the scale and then only on easy cruise type rides.
Please tell me if I'm too large for this bike weight wise or not. And then if there are other tubes I should stay way from for the same reason I would like to know that also.
Is there any charts to refer to?

Radio frequency identification (RFID) may be used to automatically detect, locate and/or identify objects, making it an ideal candidate for many pervasive computing applications. As RFID technology improves in terms of cost and performance, it is increasingly being explored in a variety of applications, ranging from eldercare through to the smart supply chain. However, while passive UHF RFID has many benefits over other RFID variants, reliable operation as the tag moves in the environment is inherently difficult to predict and can represent a significant challenge. In this paper, we present a novel and practical experimental method called attenuation-thresholding which may be used to characterize the operating range of such RFID systems. The results presented demonstrate the advantages of our method over the conventional read-rate approach. We also demonstrate a novel approach to collecting the measurements in range characterization experiments using robotic automation. Finally, we show how the application of attenuation-thresholding in combination with robotic automation can be used to optimize tag placement on an object. In addition to the clear relevance of this work to the many RFID-based pervasive computing applications reported in the literature and currently under development, it also has broad applicability in other RFID application domains. We conclude with a number of ideas for future extensions to this work.

Sept. 3, 2005
Quarterback Steve Wasil passed for 278 yards and two touchdowns to lead visiting Albion to a 28-23 victory over Butler in a non-league game played at Key Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday, Sept. 3. The game was the season-opener for both teams.
Wasil rallied his team from deficits of 10-7 and 17-14 by leading the Britons on a pair of fourth-quarter scoring drives. He gave his team the lead for good with a 63-yard scoring strike to wide receiver Josh Silvernail early in the final period. Wasil then guided Albion on a 55-yard scoring drive that ended with a one-yard touchdown run by Mike Matway with just 1:01 remaining, giving the visitors a 28-17 advantage.
Butler did rally for a final score on a four-yard touchdown pass from Bob Farmer to Eric Neumeier with 0:04 left on the clock.
Wasil hit 12 of 23 passes with one interception. Farmer countered for the Bulldogs by connecting on 28 of 49 attempts with one interception for 268 yards and two touchdowns.
Albion jumped in front in the contest on a 44-yard touchdown reception by Silvernail late in the first quarter. But the Bulldogs bounced back in the second period on a three-yard touchdown run by tailback Billy Nardini and a 26-yard field goal by freshman Jordan Quiroz to take a 10-7 halftime lead.
The visitors climbed back on top in the third period on an 18-yard touchdown run by Mike Gehringer, but Farmer found wide receiver Phil Vorndran with an 18-yard touchdown pass to give Butler a 17-14 lead at the start of the fourth quarter.
The Bulldogs finished with 417 yards in total offense, while Albion rolled up 382 yards. Nardini led Butler's rushing attack with 99 yards on 25 carries, while running back Brian Holthaus added 58 yards on 12 attempts. Senior Phil Christner had a team-high seven receptions for 93 yards, while Vorndran had six catches for 64 yards.
Linebacker Mike Marzotto, who transferred to Butler from Eastern Kentucky, led the Bulldogs' defense with nine tackles. Senior Mike Seidl chipped in with eight stops.
The Bulldogs will play their next three games on the road, beginning with a test at Tiffin on Saturday, Sept. 10.

I'm 6'6" 260lbs and am looking for a bike. I went to Dunhams and found a K2 Zed Sport that I like and is comfortable, but am worried that the piston shock won't hold up to my weight. I'm also looking at a GMC licensed Denali road bike.
I guess my first question is which would best serve my purpose of riding to and from work 3-5 days a week, all pavement, 15-20 degree inclines, and about 10 miles round trip. The K2 is $275 and the GMC is slightly less.
My second question, is whether the narrow tires of a road bike can handle my weight. The tires of the Denali seem very well built and sturdy, but can't be too sure until I ride it.
Please take into concideration that money is tight, and I can't really afford to pay for gas for small commutes. I figure if I bought a bike, that it would pay for itself after a couple of weeks.

I'm 62 and have arthritis in the knees. Some of the exercises require you to get on the floor. I can't do that. There is no SKIP command and no way out when the exercise sequence starts. Even the ones that do not require you to get on the floor may have moves that I just can't do, though a lot of these have something that I can do. So that is what I'm doing.
I used to be in a Silver Sneakers class that was really more advanced that the official highest level of Silver Sneakers. When I saw the Humana Aging gracefully, I thought that would be perfect. It's not!
I can make the program work for me, but really would like to see UBISOFT add a skip command and possibly a Silver Sneakers add-in.
In the blue section at the beginning under Edit Profile you can add your age, weight etc. I don't know what the program actually does with the information.
When you set up your exercise goals you are not asked any questions on what equipment such as weights, or power cords that you may have. You are also not asked whether you have any trouble getting on and up from the floor.

Allow us to introduce ourselves.
The Agency
Barkley is one of the largest employee-owned advertising agencies in the U.S. Ownership has its advantages. It allows us to attract national talent, retain that talent and increase every partner's passion because they have a financial stake in client and agency success. We are a fully integrated company.
The Building
The agency is housed in the onetime corporate headquarters of TWA. The airline built the building back in the 50s on the site of the former Muehlebach Brewery, nicknamed the Beer Castle. The exterior was renovated to resemble the original structure using TWA's signature red and white by Kansas City architectural firm El Dorado, while the massive 133,000-square-foot interior was overhauled by world-renowned architecture firm Gensler. The building has many green features, including a 25,000-square-foot rooftop garden.
All well and good, but here's the thing account executives and creatives geekout over: 23 conference rooms and 38 concepting spaces. Yeah.
In short, our building is pretty awesome.
The Rocket
The rocket that sits on the roof of the Barkley building is a replica of the original 22-foot-tall TWA Moonliner II that once stood in its place when the building was the TWA corporate headquarters. It depicted what a commercial spaceliner might look like for commercial travel to the moon in the then distant year of 1986.
TWA was the Moonliner's corporate sponsor until 1962 when it was removed by the airline's new owners. The rocket was modeled after the original 76-foot-tall Moonliner at Disneyland's Tomorrowland attraction. At the time, it was the largest structure at the park adjoining the "Flight to the Moon" attraction, which later became "Mission to Mars" in 1975.
The original Moonliner II replica now resides at the National Airline History Museum located at the Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport.
The Hood
Barkley is located just south of downtown in the Crossroads Arts District. With over 60 galleries in the neighborhood, it is one of the largest arts districts in the country. Each month on the first Friday of every month, the area holds an open gallery event know as First Friday. There is typically plenty of music, art and beer.

Paul Baran, whose Cold War era invention of packet switching technology helped to lay the foundation for the Internet, has died at the age of 84.
Paul Baran, whose Cold War era invention of packet switching technology helped to lay the foundation for the Internet, has died at the age of 84 in Palo Alto, Calif.
Baran, a native of Poland whose family moved to Philadelphia when he was a youngster, developed his concept of a survivable store-and-forward communications network while at RAND Corp.in the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis in the early 1960s.
PASSINGS: DEC founder Kenneth Olsen dies
HISTORY: Evolution of the Internet
That concept of packet switching, a digital communications method involving the movement of data divvied up into what Baran called "message blocks" over shared and distributed networks, later found its way into the Department of Defense's ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), which evolved into the Internet. His work, initially conducted at RAND for the U.S. Air Force, led to development of packet switching technologies such as TCP/IP, frame relay and X.25.
According to RAND, "A looming concern was that neither the long-distance telephone plant, nor the basic military command and control network would survive a nuclear attack. Although most of the links would be undamaged, the centralized switching facilities would be destroyed by enemy weapons. Consequently, Baran conceived a system that had no centralized switches and could operate even if many of its links and switching nodes had been destroyed.
Baran envisioned a network of unmanned nodes that would act as switches, routing information from one node to another to their final destinations. The nodes would use a scheme Baran called 'hot-potato routing' or distributed communications."
These ideas were so cutting edge at the time that AT&T rejected them, saying they wouldn't work, according to longtime friend and fellow network pioneer Vinton Cerf, quoted in a New York Times story.
Baran is typically considered one of three people whose contributions led to the development of packet switching, along with Donald Davies (who coined the term "packet switching") and Leonard Kleinrock. Baran's ideas are outlined in a report dubbed "On Distributed Communications" published while he was at RAND.
Following his years at RAND, Baran became something of a serial entrepreneur. The engineer founded a long-range forecasting outfit called Institute for the Future in 1968, and in the mid-1980s co-founded wireless Internet access pioneer Metricom (known for its Ricochet service) and later InterFax, Com21 and GoBackTV, among others.
Early in his career he worked as a technician on the historic UNIVAC 1 computer after graduating from Drexel Institute of Technology (now Drexel University). Baran also earned a master's degree in engineering from UCLA.
Baran's accomplishments have not been forgotten by those using some of the latest Internet technology, such as Twitter, where R.I.P. messages made the rounds over the weekend. Ethernet inventor Robert Metcalfe, for example, tweeted about Baran, referring to him as "Entrepreneur, founding director of 3Com, friend..." Technology forecaster Paul Saffo wrote: "Heartbroken at the passing of old friend Paul Baran -- but for his pioneering work, the Internet would not exist."
Baran's accomplishments have also been recognized through a slew of awards over the years. He was named a National Medal of Technology and Innovation laureate, inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, presented both a Computer History Museum Fellow Award and an IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal.

BERKELEY - Former California men's water polo standout John Mann was selected as an alternate to the U.S. men's water polo Olympic team, USA water polo announced Monday at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Mann lettered at Cal from 2003-06 and helped power the Bears to the 2006 national title.
Man was recently named the winner of the 2006-07 Peter J. Cutino Award as the nation's top male collegiate water polo player. One of the top players in school history, Mann led the Bears (31-4) to both the NCAA and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation titles in 2006. He was a three-time first-team All-American, 2006 first-team NCAA All-Tournament selection, 2006 MPSF Tournament MVP, 2006 All-MPSF first team and Cal's 2006-07 Pac-10 Medalist. During the 2006 season, Mann was the Bears' leading scorer with 80 goals in 33 matches and was instrumental in Cal's 6-5 win over USC in the MPSF Tournament final, and the Bears' 7-6 victory over the Trojans in the NCAA title match. He finished his college career with 218 goals.
Mann was a member of the U.S. team that competed at 2007 FINA World League in Berlin. The Newport Beach, Calif., native scored five goals for Team USA at the 2007 Pan American Games and nine goals to help Team USA capture gold at 2007 ASUA Tournament in Mexico City. Mann also played on the U.S. National Team that took a fourth place at Four Nations Tournament in Hamm, Germany, in March 2005, and was the leading scorer and MVP at 2004 Junior Pan American Games.

Phone number located in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Just block the bumber on your phone,you utter saps
Angry woman saying I had been in a road traffic accident recently. I told her I haven't and that I keep receiving calls like these and I find it insensitive that they prey on accidents whether they have happened or not, trying to get people to sign up/ part with money. She replied that she wasn't trying to get money, she was trying to get it to the caller, I said I didn't believe that there was no money to be made for her/ the company and she sharply replied "well the world doesn't run on charity". She was deluded and very rude in the way she spoke to me. I began to wonder how the con might continue had I falsely replied "yes" to her original statement, I have no doubt I would have been led down a dubious road and been scammed. I told her to unsubscribe me from all lists/ databases they had me on and she tried to contest and then finally told me she had better things to be doing that talking to me - as if she wasn't wasting my time in the first place! These people need to be stopped, they have no manners and I left the call feeling like a victim and shaken

Toon Gay Club
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
Toon Gay Club claims to be the number one site for hardcore gay anime and hentai. It might be an easy statement to dismiss if it weren't for the fact that members get access to a ton of gay toon goodness.
When I initially sat down to my computer to write this review, there were 567 sets of pictures featured on the website. I figured that's a great number, since by the time you'd be reading this, the number would have become even better. That's because new smut is listed as being added to the ToonGayClub daily, so there shouldn't ever be a shortage of fresh material for you to enjoy. However, this was more than two years ago and the amount still hasn't increased, so chances are very high that they're rotating their content.
The content is a mix of hardcore comics, computer-generated imagery and pictures of hung hunks and sexy shemales in action. This means that there's quite a bit of variety. Another thing that adds to the diversity is the fact that most of the toons are nonexclusive and come from different sources, so you can expect to see a wide range of artistic styles and sexual themes.
The pics also vary in quality. Some are a little on the small side, while others are large and high-res. Despite the disparity in picture quality, the site as a whole doesn't disappoint. Almost all the pictures are good enough to keep and thankfully saving them is easy with Zip files.
There are no videos on the site, but there are some Flash cartoons. There are also some additional pictures, extra comics and even eight bonus sites, including Adult Comics World and Hentai Sex Club. If all you care about is gay sex, though, then the other sites will leave you wanting more.
Toon Gay Club has a decent amount to offer and it's a pretty good website for those of you who can't get enough of drawn dudes with big dicks. It would be nice if there was more exclusive content and some guy-on-guy action on the bonus sites, but beyond that, you really can't complain too much.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

With seven comedians onstage, the show was supposed to be all about their improv talents, and each did have moments of comic inspiration...
With seven comedians onstage, the show was supposed to be all about their improv talents, and each did have moments of comic inspiration. But Drew Carey and the Improv Allstars were almost upstaged by a little kid from the audience and the one thing that's always good for a laugh — somebody else's pain.
The little kid was one of several volunteers pulled from the audience. He was to supply sound effects for cleaning machines and he screeched so shrilly — a glass-shattering scream — that several of the comedians fell off their chairs. The cute kid took full advantage of his moment, milking the bit for laughs like a pro.
Drew Carey & the Improv Allstars, Thursday at the Paramount Theatre

- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal

Most Read Stories
The pain came in the last routine, when Carey and Jeff Davis, one of the Allstars, had to act out an argument while walking over 100 mousetraps, blindfolded and barefoot. Their shrieks of agony as the mousetraps snapped, as well as those of the other comedians who put traps in their way and sometimes got hurt themselves, brought the house down.
That was at the first of two shows that opened the Seattle Comedy Festival Thursday night at the Paramount. The festival continues with six shows of stand-up comedians, playing the Moore Theatre through Oct. 28.
Getting Carey to launch the series was a coup because his improv-based TV show, "Whose Line Is It Anyway?," now in syndication, was a big hit. The Improv Allstars are veterans of that show, or from "Drew Carey's Green Screen Show," his new Comedy Central program. Even Laura Hall, who provided the music for "Anyway?," was at the Paramount.
The show was like "Anyway?" with swear words and dirty bits. Carey opened with a stand-up routine, riffing about airlines, Starbucks, Oprah, Paris Hilton and other surefire topics. Then the other six comedians — Davis, Kathy Kinney, Greg Proops, Chip Esten, Sean Masterson and Jonathan Mangum — paraded out.
Some of the bits, like the opening "moving bodies," didn't work, but most did, especially the "opera" Esten and Mangum sang to an audience member who had the perfect name for rhyming, Vilda. Davis mistook the Mariners for a football team, and took flak for it all night. Proops was especially clever in a "Jeopardy" bit involving the audience. The quickest wit belonged to Masterson, whose asides and physical bits were fast and funny.

Today, many technical backpacks are based on a long-held notion that high-end packs must be bare bones, but the MHM Divide 55 Backpack hits all the high notes of the basics and loads on a dizzying array of features—some you won't find anywhere else. The Divide offers a highly adjustable system to dial in torso length, hip belts that articulate horizontally and vertically, and a way to custom fit the cant of the hip-belt to perfect the fit.

- Sync A.C. suspension system uses an aluminum frame and rigid framesheet that connects directly to the shoulder straps and hipbelt
- Direct connection between frame, shoulder, and hipbelt allows the suspension to transfer and disperse weight more efficienctly than a traditional internal frame design

- Shoulder straps use a quick-adjust system with size markings to accommodate varying torso lengths
- Hipbelt wings can pivot vertically and horizontally to match your movements on the trail
- 3356 cubic-inch carrying capacity will give you enough storage space for a small tent, a sleeping bag and pad, an ultralight stove, a change of clothes, and a weekend's worth of meals
- Access options include a roll-top, front zipper, and full-length side zips which allow you to open this pack fully, clam-shell style
- Top lid has dual openings for both front and back access, and the lid is removable for use as a small day pack
- Cordura pack body is highly durable and DWR coated to repel light moisture and precipitation and the high-denier Cordura bottom features both polyurethane and DWR coatings for extra moisture protection
- BackHugger ICS system features a back-length internal sleeve with a quick-cinch adjustment so you can slide a tent inside, cinch it down, and keep it close to your center of gravity
- Waterproof QuickStuff Pack Sack is integrated into the bottom of the pack seals out water and features a small, zip-style external-access flap
- Besides the main compartment, eleven pockets give you multiple storage options for everything from nutrition to small pieces of gear like a knife or headlamp

- Deployable ice ax and trekking pole loops allow you to carry these tools on the outside of your pack and out of the way

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
High hopes, didn't deliver
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I used this pack for an 8 day trip in the Austrian Alps, hut-to-hut, so no tent or cooking gear, but just about everything else. Had a dry bag strapped to the outside using the supplied gear straps. This design does not work well. Many times the bag was placed on the ground, or touched something like a rock while we were traversing a ledge or climbing down a feature, one of the straps would come undone and need to be reset. Additionally, almost out of the box, stitching on one of the seams blew, and inspecting many of the others, they looked vulnerable to the same fate. Build quality could be improved. Lastly, the adjustable shoulder straps were exceedingly difficult to set, as one of the straps did not slide easily on the suspension frame - again a build quality issue as opposed to design.
I would say that the pack would have received 4 stars if the build quality was better and 5 if the gear loops were more secure. It was comfortable throughout the trip to wear, and access to the interior is superb.
Hey, I'm actually the owner of MHM and I would like to personally deal with this. You have to understand that your experience is not the norm and we typically have nothing but 5 start reviews on this bag. I believe you may have something that's defective and would like you to get in touch with me right away so I can help resolve this. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks!
I wouldn't expect this type of response from the other brands out there, so thumbs up on the personal attention to your customer experience. If I was on the fence about trying another product from MHM, this alone would tilt me in the favor of going for it.

Where is this built? Colorado branding with Vietnamese tags is NOT cool.

The Story of The Green Micro Gym
Check Out The Eco-Fitness Business Podcast Here The Green Microgym and Plugout Technology were invented by Adam Boesel, a school teacher turned personal trainer who started up his first gym in Portland, Oregon in 2008. While writing a business plan for his gym, he thought, "Wouldn't it be great if the members could make electricity when they are exercising?" He found that although there was a lot of speculation and experimentation about the idea, no one had started up a gym with Eco Fitness as their central focus. He assumed finding electricity generating exercise equipment would be relatively easy, so he ordered a Pedal A Watt and came into contact with Mike Tagget from Human Dynamo. He also had conversations with Rerev, Green Revolution, and SportsArt Fitness. However, at that point, none of those companies were able to provide a clean, affordable way for a small gym to go green. Out of necessity, Adam started searching for a way to convert exercise machines into power generators and connect them to the grid. Several prototypes later, and with the support of a lot of patient and supportive members, he designed the first spin bike retrofit that is grid tied by simply plugging "out" into a normal wall outlet. His design made it easy for anyone to convert their energy into electricity and help power their building. Exercise and Eco Enthusiasts all over the world began ordering the unique invention to use in their homes and gyms. It turns out Adam was not alone in the quest to find a simple way to make the world a better place and get in shape at the same time. Adam and his gym have been featured by CNN, BBC, Entrepreneur Magazine, Fitness Magazine, Club Industry and Club Solutions Magazines, Popular Science, and countless green bloggers. With the amazing publicity and interest Adam was experiencing, he started talking to investors, applying for patents, and co-founded a company called Re:Source fitness that put out the first Plugout Spin Bikes and Ellipticals. However, the green fitness market wasn't quite ready in 2010 to support an early stage startup, and Plugout stopped offering equipment in 2011. Undeterred, Adam continued to develop his equipment, finding simpler and better ways to go green, not only with equipment, but also by creating an energy saving culture in his gyms. The Green Microgyms use about 85% less electricity and their carbon footprint is about one tenth that of a traditionally run gym, per square foot. A member of The Green Microgym saves about ¼ ton of carbon compared to if they belonged to a traditional gym. After Hurricane Sandy, Adam was contacted by a representative of the New York City Mayor's office who was exploring ways to help people without power for long periods of time to at least charge their cell phones. This spurred Adam on to complete a project he had been considering for awhile The UpCycle Ecocharger makes turning your own bicycle into a human power generator as easy as replacing your back wheel. You can plug it into a normal wall outlet and help power your building. And, maybe more importantly, when the power goes out, you can keep your phone and laptop computer going. In September of 2014, Adam sold his 2 gyms to a local Portland Couple, who have kept the Green Ethos and changed the name of the gyms to EcoPower Fitness.

Dancing With The Stars: Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Tearful Apology To Erin Andrews
May 07, 2010 11:00 AM by Nancy Floyd
ESPN sportscaster Erin Andrews, currently competing on ABC's Dancing With the Stars, was upset over a comment that Elisabeth Hasselbeck made on The View about Andrews' DWTS costumes. Calling the comment a "slap in the face," Andrews was outraged that Hasselbeck would make an insulting comment about her recently convicted Peeping Tom stalker. Keep reading for more details on how Hasselbeck has reached out to Andrews with a tearful apology…
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is known for stirring up controversy on her daily talk show, The View, and she certainly offended ABC's Dancing With the Stars competitor, Erin Andrews this week when she attacked her costume choices. "In light of what happened and as a legal [matter] — and as inexcusable as it was for that horrific guy to go in and try to peep on her in her hotel room,†Hasselbeck said. "I mean, in some way if I'm him, I'm like, 'Man! I just could've waited 12 weeks and seen this — a little bit less — without the prison time!'â€
She's referring to Andrews recent victimization by a Peeping Tom stalker who installed a camera in her hotel door and captured nude video footage of the ESPN star which he posted on the internet. Andrews called the statement a "slap in the face," and now Hasselbeck is reaching out to the  Dancing With the Stars contestant to apologize.
"I promised [my daughter] I would use my words more mindfully, like I try to do, to build people up and not break them down," Hasselbeck said. Her 5-year old daughter apparently is the one who prompted her to apologize in the first place. "She's so cute, she said to me, 'Mommy, why don't you just call Erin and tell her you're sorry?' †Hasselbeck said. "So, thankfully, I listened to her — she's a wise little girl — and I did. So, I'm really sorry, and I wanted to offer that publicly too, even though I did follow that advice.â€
