Economic Development Initiative Encourages Consumers to Shop Local; Local Businesses Offer Special Deals on Feb. 12th - In an effort to rejuvenate our local economy and in preparation for the next Local Business Saturday on Feb. 12, Tallahassee Mayor John Marks, in collaboration with local business leaders, announced today the launch of the Local Business Saturday website, www.LocalBusinessSaturday.com.
"The Local Business Saturday website can strengthen our local economy by increasing public awareness of the value of shopping locally," said Mayor Marks. "Shoppers can visit the site to find the latest deals offered by our local business community, but even more importantly, shopping at these businesses can create jobs in Tallahassee and is an investment in our schools and overall quality of life."
Studies have shown that for every $100 spent at a local business, an average of $68 remains in the local economy. And for every year over the past decade, 60% to 80% of all new jobs were created by small businesses.
A locally owned website design company, Netphiles Inc., developed the website and will maintain it for one year, without any cost to the City of Tallahassee or to local businesses.
"We are very proud to do our part for Tallahassee's business community by providing in-kind website services to Local Business Saturday," said Mahwash Mahmood, President of Netphiles Inc. "The new website is a showcase for local businesses and a place where Tallahassee residents can find some great deals."
Local Business Saturday is a collaborative effort by Tallahassee Mayor John Marks and the City of Tallahassee, Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, Tallahassee-Leon Economic Development Council, Capital City Chamber of Commerce, Locally Owned Tallahassee, Market District Tallahassee, and local businesses. This initiative, which has designated every second Saturday of the month in 2011 as a Local Business Saturday, includes a targeted marketing campaign encouraging consumers to shop at locally-owned and locally-operated businesses for cost-saving deals. The next Local Business Saturday is February 12th.
"Local Business Saturday is a great innovation that will stimulate the local economy and motivate citizens to do most, if not all, of their shopping right here in Tallahassee", said Pam Ridley, owner of Sentry Self Service Storage, a local business.
For more information and a list of local businesses participating in the Local Business Saturday, please visit www.LocalBusinessSaturday.com. If you own a local business and would like to participate, please contact Max Stout in the Mayor's office by email or by calling 891-2000.
Updated 1-15 6:00pm
Tallahassee's Mayor John Mark's is kicking off a new initiative to remind folks in our area to shop locally.
The new initiative, Local Business Saturday, urges everyone to keep their money in Tallahassee. The second Saturday of every month will be local business Saturday.
Local Business Saturday was started in an effort to revitalize the local economy. We caught up with Jane Marks, the mayor's wife, and her girlfriends who were taking advantage of this new initiative.
"I think its a fantastic way to make people excited about shopping particularly on Saturdays most of us that's the only discretionary time we have."
Jane Marks and her friends were having fun on the shopping day. They bought new products, tried on different jewelry, and even boosted the local economy a bit.
Updated 1-12 6:52pm
Many residents are finding themselves being extra careful with their finances these days.
But, Tallahassee's mayor is kicking off a new initiative and wants to remind you that spending money responsibly, includes spending locally.
If you're going to shop, Mayor John Marks says you might as well do it locally.
He's urging everyone to keep their money in the Capital city and buy from locally owned and operated businesses.
Through this new initiative, shoppers can actually save money doing it.
The Honeytree Natural Foods store in Tallahassee is approaching its 40th anniversary of being locally owned and operated.
But, the owner, Marina Lickson, says it hasn't been easy.
Lickson said, "It's excruciatingly stressful to be perfectly honest with you. you worry every week or every two weeks to meet your payroll. You worry every day when it rains are people going to come in. It's stressful. But, the flip side of that, it's also rewarding."
Lickson says she hopes a new initiative will make it even more rewarding.
Wednesday, Mayor John Marks announced that every second Saturday of the month in 2011 will be designated as Local Business Saturday.
This economic development campaign encourages consumers to shop local in an effort to revitalize the local economy.
Honeytree shopper Debbie Collins says she always patronize local businesses.
Collins said, "I come here because I know I always get friendly service. I feel like I actually get served. People are willing to help me and I think that's lacking in our society today."
Locally owned and operated businesses will be offering deals and discounts during Local Business Saturday.
Mayor Marks says for every $100 spent locally an estimated $68 stay in the community.
One business owner said, "Spend your dollars locally, keep us all employed, and keep your friends and neighbors employed as well."
Business leaders say it's okay if you want to shop online, just try to make sure to go to the website of a local business.
Mayor Marks says this campaign can make a significant positive economic impact that will not just maintain, but create jobs.
Local Business Saturday starts this Saturday, January 15th.
In an effort to help revitalize our local economy, Tallahassee Mayor John Marks along with the City of Tallahassee, Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, Tallahassee Economic Development Council, Capital City Chamber of Commerce and local businesses today announced at a press conference in the Market District Pavilion, that every second Saturday of the month in 2011 will be designated as a Local Business Saturday. This collaborative effort will include a targeted marketing campaign encouraging consumers to shop at locally-owned and locally-operated businesses for cost-saving deals beginning this Saturday, Jan. 15 and every second Saturday in 2011.
According to the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, locally owned businesses return about 70 percent of each dollar spent back into the community. "I'm honored to partner with our area Chambers of Commerce and area businesses to help our residents save money through special cost saving deals," said Mayor Marks. "Even more importantly, dollars spent in these businesses mean jobs in Tallahassee and is an investment in our schools and overall quality of life."
While the community will realize the positive economic effects of this program, individuals will benefit by saving money when they cash in on the deals and incentives being offered. "With shopping options that include home-shopping networks, mail-order catalogs and seemingly endless discount sites on the Internet, one may wonder why they should drive to a local store or order off a locally based website instead," said Sue Dick, President of the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce. "The answer is simple. Local businesses return more money back into the community, meaning a larger revenue base for local services, from schools and roads to public safety and community welfare."
Many businesses have signed up to participate and some have already posted discounts on the 'Local Business Saturday' Facebook page. Locally owned business, Moore Consulting Group developed a branding model and logo for the initiative. A website hosted by a local business is in the works and will make it even easier for shoppers to find out about second Saturday savings being offered by local businesses.

Research and development and government incentives
Horizon 2020
Many countries offer generous grants, credits and incentives in areas such as the digital economy, energy efficiency, environment, globalisation, innovation, sustainability and training. More than 30 countries also offer specific research and development (R&D) tax incentives that apply to development activities related to manufacturing process improvements, production trials and software integration issues in addition to laboratory research.
Taking advantage of incentives creates an immediate cash benefit, often reducing effective tax rates and increasing EPS. During these turbulent times of economic crisis, it is important to benefit from the various grants and incentives programmes available to R&D performing organisations in the Netherlands. The European Union deploys several such funding programmes in which Dutch organisations can take part, a.o. Horizon 2020 which will contribute 70 billions EUR funding for R&D activities during the next 6 years. Participation enables the funding of R&D and demonstration activities taking place within specific projects, most of which are performed within a consortium of industrial and academic partners. Participation benefits are numerous and could include: a reduction of operating expenditure; risk management in the development of new technologies for future products; access to new markets; and the development of long term business relations with customers, suppliers and technological partners.
Research and development claims preparation
Identifying eligible R&D activities and preparing robust supporting documentation is often unfamiliar territory for businesses who may not have the resources needed to complete the paperwork required to file a claim. Deloitte can assist with the whole process from scoping through document preparation and submission. Deloitte combines deep tax technical expertise with highly experienced scientists and engineers so that the multiple aspects of an incentive claim are understood and considered. We utilize technology based solutions worldwide to create a smooth process with increased transparency and to facilitate compliance with regulatory changes.
Furthermore the unique characteristics of the R&D Government and Incentives team and its related global Deloitte network offers distinctive benefits for the Deloitte clients:
- we have a global network;
- we focus on all types of incentives, such as fiscal incentives, cash grants;
- we have technology to identify partnership opportunities;
- we have technology to provide oversight and support incentives processes;
- we give insight in all kinds of relevant cross-border opportunities;
- we have seen it all and share our best practices.
Government incentives application support
To take advantage of the grants, credits and incentives available to a business requires time and effort. Deloitte's R&D and Government Incentives teams are highly experienced in the practicalities of preparing, negotiating and agreeing such applications from initial feasibility reviews to document submission. Deloitte's knowledge and experience in this specialised area provides clients with the confidence of knowing that the incentives which can impact their cost of business have been considered and evaluated.
Deloitte delivers R&D and government incentives services using the Incentives Insight methodology. It is powered by I Smart technology , streamlining and accelerating the gathering and processing of data and information needed to make informed business decisions.

JGM Custom Painting partners with Col. David Hall Chapter NSDAR
JGM Custom Painting recently completed a restoration project at the historic Maull House for the Col. David Hall Chapter NSDAR. Located on its original site along the canal on Pilottown Road, the house was built in 1739. Sold to Delaware River Pilot Luke Shields, the house became home to the Maull family when Luke married his widowed neighbor, Mary Maull in 1753.
Although the property changed hands a few times after Luke's death, it returned to Maull family ownership in 1836 when purchased by Thomas Maull, a descendant of Mary's first husband, John. Subsequent generations of the family lived in the house until 1957, when it was sold to a developer and slated for demolition.
Through extensive fundraising efforts, the Col. David Hall Chapter changed the fate of the Maull House, purchasing it in 1962 to begin the long process of restoration. Their successful efforts led to the Maull House earning designation on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The current project undertaken by JGM & Associates restored the wood trim and window frames, which had begun to deteriorate from the assaults of wind and weather. The team stripped the older layers of paint before caulking, sanding, and priming the wood. They recommended a more historically correct shade of blue to replace the faded and mismatched colors they found on the building.
The Col. David Hall Chapter members were delighted to have had such an experienced and professional partner for this important restoration project to preserve the Maull House.
The NSDAR is a service organization for women who have descended from a patriot who served in the American Revolution. The group is dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through education.

OA No Way?
Tuesday, December 04, 2012
Been awhile since I blogged.....or anything..... I fell off track yet again, gaining almost 8 pounds.
I've been thinking a lot about WHY I eat. My two main issues are: self control and mindset. Those are the big ones that I can't seem to get right.
I was looking at the OA website and decided to go to a meeting with my coworker. It was about the HOW program (abstaining from sugar, etc)....and how its easier to be structured, then to keep giving in to binges and falling off for awhile....which I do. I know myself. If I give up every single piece of junk food, that will bring on more binges....so I just don't see how it is realistic.
Their very first step is: Admitting that I am POWERLESS over food.
POWERLESS..... I hate that word. I feel that I am not POWERLESS over anything. I have a choice. Nothing is powerless when there is a higher power (God) surrounding me at all times. POWERLESS just seems like giving in, completely giving up and admitting food has won.
I don't accept this. Am I looking at this wrong? Do I need OA? I go on binges. I have a hard time controlling myself. I eat mindlessly. But am I POWERLESS?
Any feedback? Anyone else go to these before?

If you keep having binges, it is time to admit you are powerless over food. They aren't saying you can't deal with it, and you said that with God you can do it. Well, that's the whole point - you can't but God, or your Higher Power, can. It is about giving up control, which is what you lose whenever you have a binge. The support in OA HOW is amazing, some of the folks can be over the top, but there are some really knowledgeable folks too. Nope, choosing to eat mindlessly for SOME people isn't a choice. If you keep losing the choice, then it might be time to reconsider. Of course, everyone is an individual. As they say, OA isn't for everyone who needs it, just the ones who want it. There is no one to force you. You may want to read the first couple of steps and see if maybe there isn't more in common with people who have found it helpful. I'd never been exposed to 12 programs before and really argued about it, but then over time started to see the truth - for me. I also never believed I could give up sugar and wheat, but can't believe how much better I felt when eating that way. Once I gave up the sweeteners as well, the cravings went. I think SP is great because it is also about support, so choose what works for you. But if you're having binges, it isn't working.

I went to an OA meeting and had the same reaction as you. I feel like if I start saying, "Well, I can't control it," I'll just be even worse. And yeah.... The group leader mentioned something about giving up all binge foods. If I gave up every food I binge on, I would be stuck eating nothing but spinach and tofu. I know I personally don't have a *food* addiction. I have an *eating* addiction, and, from what I saw, OA is not really equipped to help me handle that.

Believe in YOU, you are WORTH IT, take your POWER and use it to the best of your abilities, you are in control, you are accountable for your actions, you are not POWERLESS. There'll be times when we feel powerless, but at the end of the day...you have a choice to make, to be what you want to be! So come on, you can do this!

I don't know if I agree with the word powerless altogether. In one way you are powerless to control yourself from binging. It is comparable to an alcoholic convincing them self that they can have only one sip and quit whenever they want. However you are not powerless to quit and stick with it. You can learn to live a healthier life and improve your weight.

You have the power within you. Understanding what and why is the first step. Then you have to choose to take control. Because, honestly, choosing to eat mindlessly is also a choice. I've been caught in that trap too. And when I gain, it's because I stopped controlling my food, my exercise, my choices. And then when I rededicate myself, the weight comes back off. So take back your power and make the best choices you can for yourself. I believe in you.

Valentine's Day for Expanding Love
St. Valentine's Day brings hearts and flowers to mind; perhaps we are thinking ahead with longing to spring-like weather. Light, love, warmth: all sentiments for this mid-winter holiday.
It is a day concentrated on remembering those we love in all our relationships with family and friends. Some may limit Valentine's Day celebrations to a particular loved one, but as we really think about it, the worldwide family needs and deserves our loving attention, too.
Meditation on expanding love
Begin by sitting in your favorite quiet spot. Close your eyes and do some rounds of even breathing, such as: breathe in 2 counts; breathe out 2 counts; breathe in 2 counts and continue on in this rhythmic pattern without actually saying the numbers during you whole meditation.
Turn your attention to thoughts of one you love and send rays of warmth their way. Now let those rays expand in loving thoughts for your family and friends and out to the universe.
Allow yourself to receive love in return from the world in the form of pure air and positive thoughts. Allow any negative thoughts to fall aside. Concentrate on loving and giving today of all days. Then your loving heart will expand and in the growing circle of love you'll receive back peace of mind, contentment, satisfaction, joy.
Finish your meditation with a deep cleansing breath in and slowly release it. Open your eyes; stretch out. If you keep a meditation journal take time to write any positive ideas that come to you. Now, go on with your day with a lightened and loving heart. Happy Valentine's Day.
Stretching borders of love
Increases experiences of love.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 6. OHIO State has signed women's swimming coach Jeanne Fleck to a new three-year contract. Fleck has been the coach of the Buckeyes for six years and has guided the program to 81 dual-meet victories during that span. She coached at Northern Illinois for eight years before heading to Columbus.
During the just-completed season, Griet Bulens became the first Ohio State female swimmer since 1995 to win a Big Ten championship, as she captured first place in the 200-yard butterfly. During her tenure, Fleck has coached the Buckeyes to four school and pool records.
"Ohio State is where I want to be," Fleck said. "This is the best school in the Big Ten and I am excited to be here for three more years. Hopefully we can build a program that will keep me here for 20 years. We not only want to be the best in the Big Ten, but the best in the country. We are making great progress along those lines and move into a great new facility next year. I am excited to be able to make the move over there with this program."
Ohio State will open a new facility next year, the Bill and Mae McCorkle Aquatics Pavilion. The venue will host the 2006 Big Ten Women's Championships and will host the men's championships in 2007.

One of the best things that's happened to the world over the past few decades is the advent of the World Wide Web. Following that as the internet has eased itself into our daily lives and is now an integral part of businesses and the way we consume media and stay connected with friends and family around the world, having a reasonably fast internet connection at home is key.
Media Consumption
And it's not all about downloading HD movies and songs, but more about the seamless experience that today's powerful computers can afford us. If I'm booting into Windows 8 within 9 seconds after pushing the Start button on my desktop/ laptop, or able to launch Chrome or Firefox the instant I double-click on the icon, than I should be able to do everything within that window just as fast.
Streaming YouTube or Vimeo in 1080p? It should happen without any buffering. Checking out the email my sister sent me with full resolution pictures from her DSLR? I should be able to just keep on scrolling down without seeing broken icons for unloaded images. It's not just about going on news sites or other text heavy websites anymore. The content we consume on the internet is high quality stuff, videos and pictures that my ultra-high resolution monitor is capable of showing. And I want it all instantly. Would you watch a DVD (gasp!) or a VHS (remember those?) on your 50-inch LED LCD? Things have changed now. We want the best in everything, and we want it fast.
Local ISPs
We've been somewhat blessed that the UAE has adopted broadband internet and laid down the fiber-optics network quiet fast over the past decade, with both du and Etisalat offering 100MB connections, the latter offering up to 300MB as well. The pricing for these packages is arguably reasonable when you compare it to the rest of our region. However, one of things every household now looks at is the type of package Etisalat and du offer. Comparing the packages from both companies and the types of extra costs and benefits associated with them is a discussion for another time, today I just want to look at the raw numbers. Do we as consumers get the speed advertised by Etisalat and du for their broadband packages?
Testing Methodology
To find this out I've had 4 colleagues do a speed test in their house on their respective networks. We have two 8MB and two 16MB connections from both du and Etisalat. Each test was done between 9:30pm and 10pm to see how the broadband performs during peak network usage hours. Speed Test is one of the most accurate and well known broadband speed testing sites in the world. Their mobile apps also give a realistic representation of the type of speeds you're experiencing on a wireless connection, whether it's WiFi or LTE.
For each test the "Dubai [AE] – du or Etisalat" server was specifically chosen for each respective connection. This is to eliminate any chance of unnecessary connectivity issues, minimizing lag (represented by Ping) and giving highest possible speeds.
Etisalat seems to be have some minor ups and downs. ON the one handthe 16MB download is about 3% lower than rated, but the upload is 1% faster. The story reverses on 8MB with downloads exceeding the rated speeds by an impressive 6%, but uploads suffer by a massive 10%.
du suffers all around, with minor speed hits in the Jumierah Village area, but taking a massive hit in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, exceeding 20%. I must say that during off peak hours, such as weekend morning or mid afternoon on weekdays when I have done the same test by downloads speeds do get up to early 7MBs, but upload remains the same.
An interesting thing to note in both Etisalat and du packages is the upload speed. While Etisalat has a limit of 1MB on both their 8MB and 16MB packages, du actually offers 2MB uploads and 4MB uploads on their 8MB and 16MB 'premium' packages respectively. The best part? Even with the premium packages du offers cheaper packages than Etisalat.
So while du suffers somewhat in speed, their packages are not only cheaper, but on the upload side of things, they are much higher anything Etisalat has to offer. And why is the upload speed important? When you're doing a video chat on Skype and want the people on the other end to get your feed clear and smooth, a higher upload speed is essential. Want to host a game server for your friends? The higher the upload speeds, the smoother the gameplay will be as you have more bandwidth to upload data packets. And with most games on Xbox Live or PlayStation Network reliant on P2P connection, having a higher upload speed is really important.
So if you want pure download speeds, it seems Etisalat is good with consistent performance. For better uploads and still cheaper package, du seems to be the better choice. Personally? Despite getting inconsistent download speed results, I would be inclined to go with du simply because of the higher upload speeds. Add to this the slightly cheaper package, and that's icing on top. My general experience (in JLT) remains fine for the most part, although I do think it's time to upgrade from 8MB as even that is starting to feel slow.

Sea to Summit Founder and Everest record breaker Tim Macartney-Snape comes to the UKadded Oct/2010, see all Sea To Summit news & reviews
Product news by Burton McCall
Tim Macartney-Snape, world-renowned mountain climber, adventurer and founder of outdoor equipment brand Sea to Summit, has confirmed he will be visiting the UK to give a series of lectures at the end of November and beginning of December.
On October 3, 1984, Macartney-Snape, along with climbing partner Greg Mortimer, became the first climber from the flat and arid continent of Australia to reach the summit of Mount Everest. They reached the summit, without oxygen or Sherpa support, via a new route on the North Face.
Realising his opportunity to re-write the history books, in the Spring of 1999 Tim Macartney-Snape went for a swim in the tepid waters of India's Bay of Bengal, and then set off on foot across the Indo-Gangetic plain toward the distant Himalayan foothills on an endeavour to become the first person to truly climb the entire 8848 meters of Mt Everest. Four months later, after climbing alone from Base Camp and without the assistance of oxygen, he once again set foot on the highest point on earth. Dubbed the "Sea to Summit" expedition, Tim wrote about his epic adventure in his book "Everest: From Sea to Summit". A film of the same name has won prizes in seven countries. Tim has also made first ascents of other great peaks including Annapurna 2 and Gasherbrum IV.
Nowadays, Tim is a director of the outdoor equipment company www.seatosummit.com.au, which prides itself on manufacturing innovative outdoor adventure gear inspired through experience.
Tim's confirmed talks:
- Nov 17th � Royal Geographical Society (Organised by Doug Scott)
- Nov 18th � Lecture for World Expeditions in London
- Nov 19th � Kendal Film Festival SEE BELOW

There are good decisions and there are bad decisions. Then, there are just terrible decisions. Which is what happened when Borgore decided to feature Miley Cyrus in his new single.
Now, I don't dislike Miley Cyrus. And I happen to be a pretty big fan of Borgore. However, with that being said, the collaboration between these two are, for lack of a better word, just horribly random. So, what do you get when you mix one Disney princess with the self-described "Gorestep" King, one royal screw up.
Besides the irritating, "B*tches Love Cake!," lyric that plays over and over, the entire song was made just for the sake of being an attention whore. Borgore uses Miley for publicity, and Miley uses Borgore for shock factor. And everybody wins? Except for the listeners, that have to suffer through this painful wannabe Dubstep-duo track.
Come on Borgore, not even Skrillex would sink this low. And Miley, please stick to what your good at, because this truly tugs at my, "achy, breaky heart." When apart they both reign supreme in their genre. Then together, on the other hand, they are a tacky mess of heavy metal meets bubble gum pop. And these two types of music should never go in the same sentence together. Good try guys…but NO, we're not feeling this at all.

Former President George H.W. Bush Still in ICU
(HOUSTON) -- Former President George H.W. Bush remains in the intensive care unit at Houston's Methodist Hospital, where he is receiving treatment for what his spokesman described earlier this week as "a series of setbacks," including "a persistent fever."
Bush was admitted to the hospital late last month for bronchitis.
The president "continues to improve," Bush family spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement Friday. The 88-year-old former president is "alert and, as always, in good spirits," McGrath said, and "his exchanges with doctors and nurses now include singing."
McGrath added that doctors "are cautiously optimistic that the current course of treatment will be effective."
On Wednesday, McGrath announced that the former president's conditioned had worsened, and that Bush had been in the hospital's ICU since Sunday.
President Obama was reportedly receiving updates on Bush's condition.

When Brian Sparrow and his team members test their equipment they usually flip a coin to decide who gets the opportunity to bounce around in it.
"Sometimes its rock, paper, scissors," Sparrow says.
As the owner and operator of Inflatable Kingdom, a space jump and party equipment vendor in Jackson, Sparrow says he finds himself juggling as many as six different parties in a single summer weekend.
"It's really a big time for us," he says. "Everybody is out of school, there's lots of family reunions, fundraisers, class reunions, and birthday parties."
The company serves Central Mississippi with everything from so-called classic "space jumps" and bouncers to refreshingly cool water slides. Sparrow is also finalizing the purchase of an 80-foot obstacle course and also provides concession rental equipment for snow cones, cotton candy and popcorn.
After finishing an associate marketing degree from Meridian Community College, Sparrow attended Belhaven University in Jackson where he earned a management degree in 2008.
"We had to do a business plan when I was at Belhaven and drew different businesses out of a hat and I just happened to draw a rental business," Sparrow says.
Sparrow, who as a child wanted to be a lawyer, let the rental idea grow into a franchise that has since grown to 16 units and four part-time employees.
"I prayed about it and let God do it and we got started," he says. "I never thought three to four years later that we'd be as big as we are." Sparrow says he wants to eventually expand operations into South Mississippi and Tennessee.
In addition to water slides and generic bounces, Sparrow has a popular line of cartoon-themed licensed units like Disney Princess, Superman, Hello Kitty and Nickelodeon's Dora the Explorer. Having recognizable jumps and all the copyrights paperwork to back them up helps give the company an edge over more generic competitors.
In addition to a good time, Inflatable Kingdom guarantees great value, on-time delivery, customer service and most importantly, clean and safe equipment.
Sparrow tells customers that no matter what vendor they choose, they need to make sure the equipment is safe, set up securely and fastened or staked to ground. A series of bounce house accidents across the country last year led to a round of bad press for the industry.
While party vendors like Inflatable Kingdom aren't required to be certified for safety in Mississippi, Sparrow and his company have all the updated credentials from the Safe Inflatable Operators Association and is the only certified vendor in the area that delivers.
Most standard size floats weigh as much as 250 pounds and guidelines are provided to the customer including weight limitations. Sparrow often checks in on a party site throughout the day but insists that clients be more observant. "Customers need to watch the children the whole time they are there," he says.
Sparrow attends New Jerusalem Church in Jackson and says he's gotten lots of mentoring from other business owners at the church. He says he doesn't rely completely on advertising for business but just maintains good principles.
"We're starting to get calls about larger events and I want my work to speak for me," he says. "I'd rather that be my go-getter. We're not a perfect business but give a high level product at an affordable price. Everybody is not going to be my customer, I just treat them the best I can."
Affordable pricing, attention to safety and good service keep drawing customers back to the Inflatable Kingdom.
"Its a really good, healthy way to keep your kids busy," Sparrow says. "Even an hour of play is worth it instead of sitting in front of a video game all summer."

DEFCON, the 9000+ attendee hacker conference in Vegas has become a sort of hydra conference. It has become more like a global fair than what most people think of conferences; even the badge is highly unique. I say this because there are so many things to do at DEFCON, other than going to talks, that you could spend your whole weekend looking at the "World's Largest Boar!â€, so to speak. One of the CTF (Capture the Flag) contest winners this year actually exclaimed that he only made it to 2 talks in 12 years! I am also one of those individuals who barely get a chance to go to talks and now that the speaker pool is so diverse it's hard to find all of the "stuff†they release. Before anyone has a chance to post "It's all on the DEFCON CD dummy†I want to challenge them to try. After a weekend of googling (which came back with few results) and making contact with some of the speakers, I provide you with a mostly accurate list of "stuff†that was released at DEFCON this year. If any of the information is inaccurate, or a tool is missing, please contact me and I will update this post.
The DEFCON CD can be found here.

Event Series I : HR Apps
It is no secret that Enterprise mobility is becoming absolutely critical for business of all shapes and sizes. As with many enterprise sectors, today's anytime- anywhere mobile access is changing the fundamentals of the way business is conducted.
Undoubtedly, HR processes in the company undergo huge transformation like its sister departments. Every company now wants a mobile channel to reach their customers and mobile capability to their employees to stay connected 24*7. HR being the primary route for any person into the company, it is increasingly becoming important. That's because developers have hit the ground running to bring new solutions for hiring, managing and tracking HR to the mobile market. Creative HR Applications are helping enterprise improve productivity, enhance customer and drive the overall strategy forward.
The mobile technology market for HR processes is growing rapidly, and there are new solutions emerging all the time. But based on ease of use, coolness and functionality, a few stand out to us. So how can productive HR Applications be useful to mobilize the human resources activities and what are the ways to improve it is the theme of the meet up !
Session 1
John Boring & Phil Quigley, Senior leadership Consultants from Accelerate trainings, will share information on how mobile technology is profoundly redefining for people to work together. Their experiences with boosting the productivity via mobile technology is commendable!
You many expect to know about:
- The various functions of HR that lends themselves to mobile learning through apps.
- How can an HR organization get started in making this information "appable?"
- Hottest Mobile Trends in the HR technology.
Session 2
Avinash Harsh, (Avi), VP for Enterprise and Mobile Solutions in Halosys will be roll out the pain points in HR business processes and how mobile solutions can address them.
Availability of right information at the right time is important for the employees to be productive and it is the responsibility of the organization to provide that information through proper distribution channels. With BYOD increasingly being adopted by the companies, smart phones and tablets are now hardwired with enough power and performance to act as mini laptops on the go. The question is no longer a matter of if HR should capitalize on this medium to better support the workforce, but how.?
Session 3
Mark Oden, WebEx Product Manager at Cisco Systems, Inc. will give an overview of Cisco Webex offerings with a mobility focus along with a demo.
The overall session will help outline how to distribute information to increase efficiency, boost productivity and engage the compelling productive workforce.

SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison has confirmed rumors that he will sit behind the kit for KORN this summer. "I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to perform with bands that have influenced me as a musician over the years," Joey said. "When I first heard KORN they blew me away and I have been a fan ever since. I'm looking forward to playing drums with these guys for the next five months!"Joey will go straight from tour bus into the studio to continue work on the new SLIPKNOT CD which will surface in 2008. KORN's management confirmed earier in the month that temporary drummer Terry Bozzio had completed his work on the band's new record and is no longer working with the group. Bozzio, a legendary drummer known for his work with MISSING PERSONS and Frank Zappa, plays on some but not all tracks on the album. Brooks Wackerman of BAD RELIGION played with the band several weeks ago at a youth volunteer show in Los Angeles. Bozzio replaced founding drummer David Silveria in January, after Silveria announced at the end of 2006 that he was taking a "hiatus" from KORN for at least one album and tour. KORN's eighth studio effort is due this summer. The band will headline the 2007 Family Values tour starting in mid-July, with EVANESCENCE, HELLYEAH, ATREYU, TRIVIUM and FLYLEAF also on the bill. The on-sale date for most of the shows is April 28.

ATLANTA -- July 8, 2012
Authorities are warning motorists to be wary of police impersonators who robbed a driver in Paulding County.
Sheriff Gary Gulledge said a black Ford Crown Victoria with a blue dashboard light stopped a woman late Friday. Two men in business clothes approached the woman. One of the men took her wallet. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the men then fled.
Gulledge said drivers can always proceed to a well-lit area if they believe they are being pulled over by what appears to be a police vehicle. In that case, the sheriff said drivers should travel below the speed limit and put their hazard lights on. He said drivers can also call 911 to confirm a Paulding county deputy is pulling them over.

This was our first time at this theater and they did a very nice job with this classic musical. Cast was overall very good. The two female leads were both terrific as actors as well as singers. Also loved the performance by the Nathan Detroit character, but the Sky Masterson actor was just not very convincing. The rest of the large cast filled their roles with lots of positive energy and made for a very enjoyable and entertaining show.

The cast on stage was larger than life! What a great and talented, high-energy bunch of people. The cast consisted of about 20 people of all ages (from 6 to 60)--more than I've ever seen for such a small production. It was such a blast to watch....continued

A very entertaining evening with some first rate performances. All of the leads were excellent in acting and singing. Although the one who played Sky had a nice voice but didn't convince me as an actor. Lots of energy went into the show. Well done...continued

The beloved Broadway musical comedy, based on "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown" and other short stories by Damon Runyon, comes to the La Habra Depot Theatre. Featuring memorable songs like "Luck Be A Lady," the fast-paced Guys and Dolls features a colorful cast of characters from New York's gambling underworld, as well as the women who love them.
Since its Broadway premiere in the early 1950s, this popular show has been revived numerous times, picking up numerous Tony nominations along the way.
About the Ticket Supplier: La Habra Depot TheatreThe La Habra Community Theatre began in 1976 as a Children's Theatre project of the City's newly established Cultural Arts Council. The first production was Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It was performed in La Habra High School's lecture hall since the city did not have a Community Performing Arts Facility.
At the same time, the 1909 Pacific Electric Depot building stood empty and in danger of demolition if it was not restored to a functional role in the community. Planning for its renovation as a Community Performing Arts Facility was initiated by the Mayor of La Habra and supported by the City Council as well as many community members. The "train station", or depot, was then moved across the street to its current location in Portola Park to integrate it into the master plan for the redevelopment of downtown La Habra.
Funding to restore the depot and convert it to a Theatre came largely from the Federal Government Restoration of Historical Landmarks. "The Depot" was declared Orange County Historical Landmark Site #14.
In January of 1980, the Children's Theatre project was expanded to incorporate adult theatre. Then, in July of 1982, the 100 members of the Community Theatre moved into the Depot Playhouse. The first performance in the restored building was the musical Oklahoma. On August 15, 1995 the Depot Playhouse became a non-profit tax-exempt organization and officially became know as Depot Theatre of La Habra. The theatre's board of directors and all production committees are comprised of community volunteers. The Depot Theatre is one of the few community organizations which functions without a single paid staff member.

Looks like a resto job. Hot-rodding - I don't know. I would go the SesameCrunch way - the paintwork is rather far gone.
From the looks of this bike, I assume this is not the Moulton you posted about before? Because I was under the impression that one was in mint condition, whereas this one is obviously well-used.

Yes, I vote for restoration also... They clean up nicely, and the original design is such a classic.
Last edited by SesameCrunch; 02-28-09 at 10:30 PM.
I vote to restore it the best you can. Otherwise, hot rod it.
Ride what you like. Ride in what you like.
If in doubt....keep it original !
NICE !!i hope Moultonguy don't mine me using this pic,really enjoyed the story & history on the bike belowit makes me wish some more people would vote hot rod
Last edited by texastwister; 03-02-09 at 08:33 PM.
If you don't have the fenders, I'm going to have to vote hot rod. I'd suggest an IG hub with a hub brake. Seems to me if Alex Moulton had had the new Sturmey Archer 325% hub would he have used it.
If you enjoyed reading that, then you are almost guaranteed to like this one ?
GREAT! READING old racing bikes with a history are like old racecars with a history,i know that feeling due to i had a old 55 chevy drag car from the late 1960's that won a ton of races and feature in a magazine,they, like the bikes just bring out great stories!
Everyone restores - so hotrod it!
(For my money far too many Moulton's go to Japan to become museum pieces, or kept stock because of strange provincial british purism.
They aren't rare to the point it's 'sacrelege' to modify them, so I say go mad and make it modern, light and FAST!
Skinny fast wheels:
2x Velocity Aeroheat 349x25mm rims;
2x Pr1mo Champ racing wheelchair tyres;
Bathe it in acid to lose a little weight
Clean up welds/brazing, polish then get clear-coated.
Get a 60+ tooth chainwheel and Campag record gruppo.
Polished Nitto track *everything*.

clean/grease and ride
Clearly this is what you do:
1. Clean/grease ride as is, while you mull on what to do.
2. Fix up the paintwork with shiny new powdercoat, while you mull what hot-rodding might fit such a bike (ie Nitto everything.)
3. Go Nitto crazy, and do the SS with other bits in careful storage.
Options galore! Hotrod it, these options are seldom irreversible.
My folding bike photo essays www.dekter.net/
To me it's a no brainer. Hot Rod! If it were a Speed 6 or other rare model it would be worth putting plenty of time and money into a restoration. But with a bike as common as this one it wouldn't be worth restoring unless it were more complete and in better shape.
Besides, the purpose of a bike is to be ridden and hot rods (and Speed 6s) are more fun.
MOULTONGUY----Ken, your yellow '65 SpeedSix looks fast standing still,what's your story on it?
Last edited by texastwister; 03-02-09 at 08:43 PM.
RE my earlier comment. Something like this seems to express the bulk of what I meant (this being a mk 3 version but you get the idea:
The first thing I did was to write an ad for the sales list of the Moulton Bicycle Club wanted section, but imagine my surprise when the guy who still runs the list phoned me at his own expense with news of one for sale!
The speedsix was on the south coast and the young man who had it had saved it from some mates who intended to wreck it off road!
The bike was complete and totally original even down to the old DUNLOP high pressure tyres and special saddle.
The bike was a bargain and a quarter of what I had budgetted for the rare machine...this was a decade ago and before ebay and the jump in prices.
My next special bike was the S safari which is like a luxury equipped speedsix and then chromed!!
I recommend the Moulton Bicycle club to anyone interested in Moultons of all ages and they take PAYPAL now so joining should be easy...k
Great story M.G........the hot rod votes are catching up!!,,i'll go out to the garage and throw some "hot rod" parts on it ,,and snap some pic's ,i did order some PRIMO 16 X1 3/8 high pressure tires (100psi)today,,(Thanks to Little Pixels hint!)WOW,THE HOT RODS ARE ONLY 6 Percent behind!!!!
Last edited by texastwister; 03-03-09 at 08:20 PM.
That bike has certainly had major mods. The forks look custom made. In fact only the frame looks sorta original.
TT: Hotrod it, but see if you can get by without any frame mods. But it would be nice if you could remove some of that back bracing - bolts or welded?
My folding bike photo essays www.dekter.net/
that bike is awsome,i believe it is factory racer ?Moultonguy's photostream goes into detail on some racer's,some company back then did do after market racing arms,forks,etc,as far as the rear bracing it would have to be cut and shorted and welded,,YIKES!,i think i'll keep it for longer hauls so i can throw a trunk on there,plus it's good for hauling a 6-pack heres a updated pic

AAVSONet telescope W28 at Astrokolkhoz has a new capability: a slitless grating to help identify/characterize new and transient objects.
But we need help. We need people that are experienced in spectral classification and analysis to lend their expertise to the images we collect.
More information about the grating can be found at
http://www.patonhawksley.co.uk/staranalyserusermanual.html [1]
At this early stage in the game I've imaged a few fields to veryify proper operation. But I need guidance as to the best calibration targets (or spectral types) I should image in order to establish a calibration library. Or is that a bad approach?
And perhaps in the future we may establish a program of recurring coverage...tailored to the capabilities of this system.
Thanks in advance.

The microcontroller market is abuzz with talk about low energy consumption.
Many designers are looking for microcontrollers (MCUs) that will function, sometimes for a period of years, on the energy stored in a battery, or that is available from an energy harvesting system.
This is a trend which has culminated in the recent launch of ARM's 'Flycatcher' M0+ product, a stripped-down, ultra-low power processor core intended for just these applications.
Against this backdrop, it might seem strange to offer an MCU based on the ARM Cortex-M4F processor core that offers not less performance but more, including floating point DSP instructions.
So, why would anyone choose a low-energy MCU equipped with DSP functions?
The first reason is that – perhaps counterintuitively – such a processor may in fact prove to be more energy efficient than a less competent device. The availability of floating point and single-cycle multiply-accumulate instructions often allows the designer to reduce execution time, or reduce the clock frequency to accomplish the same workload. Put simply, expending 10% more power for 20% less time represents an energy saving overall.
This effect is, of course, accentuated in devices with well designed sleep modes that deliver very low power. The bigger the difference between active and sleep mode power consumption, the greater will be the benefit of a rapid return to a low-energy state.
Such considerations also come into play in the field of smart sensing. As MCU prices have dipped below the dollar mark, it has become increasingly possible to put intelligence into everyday objects. A DSP-equipped MCU provides a special type of intelligence that can be used for signal conditioning purposes.
By siting such processors at the location where each signal is captured, designers can choose lower cost sensor types, increasing the range of applications that can cost-effectively be addressed.
Ultrasonic water metering is one example of such a use case, that in addition to signal processing also requires outstanding sleep mode performance – meters require a battery life of years.
In such an application an MCU can be configured with the CPU in sleep mode and its peripherals set up as a kind of analogue state machine that wakes the Cortex-M4 only when water is flowing. The availability of DSP instructions allows the designer to build sophisticated filtering functions that come into action when there is water flow to measure, and eliminate the need for expensive ultrasonic transducers.
Some applications simply need the processing horsepower of a DSP.
For example, I know of one firm which is working on a security device that senses glass breakages using acoustic analysis. Breaking glass is accompanied by a distinctive series of sounds and vibrations that culminates in a resonance at the characteristic natural frequency of the glass – in this case around 13kHz.
The MCU is used to perform fast Fourier transforms on the output from a wide-band sound transducer, and hence to determine whether a breakage has taken place. The transducer may be sited close to the window and used to detect sounds, or attached directly to the glass to work in 'seismic' mode.
Because the system needs to run for a period of years from a single battery, it must be designed so that the MCU wakes up and starts processing only when a possible candidate acoustic event has occurred. The chip's fast wake up capabilities facilitate this, and its DSP capabilities minimise wake time, while allowing the designer to choose a detection algorithm that is robust against false alarms.
Portable medical equipment provides another typical example of such an application. Instruments like battery-powered ECGs have been favorite talking points: but the fact is that as of today, for a really accurate read-out of cardiac health, the patient needs to visit a hospital or health clinic. The processing power of current portable instruments is restricted by the power and energy budget imposed by battery-based operation: as a result designers compromise by reducing sampling rate. DSP-equipped low-energy processors present a practical solution to this problem.
Applications like these demonstrate that low-energy operation is not always about paring processing power to the bone. Tomorrow's energy efficient products require MCUs with the right balance of processing capabilities, low active power consumption, well-designed sleep modes and tailored, autonomous peripherals.

|Nature2, with it's breakthrough technology, uses a uniquely patented mineral process that kills bacteria on contact, faster than chlorine. And being powered by water flow, there's no electricity and no moving parts. It reduces the chemical consumption and the time you spend caring for your spa. Nature² water is brilliantly clear, soft and safe. Water purity you can see and feel !
Nature2 is a water purification technology for spas and hot tubs that gives the purest, clearest water imaginable. Nature² products use the same minerals found in nature to trap bacteria and algae. Because Nature2 traps bacteria and algae, less harsh chemicals are needed to keep your spa water balanced.
|By using Nature², you reduce the level of harsh chemicals between 50% and 80% versus the harsh chemical levels you would need without Nature2.
|It feels better.
Nature² Advantages
|It works better.
What Nature² does.
Nature² the Natural Spa Purifier for Cartridge Filters. Easy and Convenient!
Please see the Water Purifiers & Conditioners section of the Virtual Store for pricing and on-line ordering.
|Our Customers say it best!
I just want a pleasant safe experience in the tub and with Nature2 it just so happens to be simple too! Thanks Nature² for your product!
Susan Blakey
|How do I know if Nature2 is working?
|The best test is improved water quality. You'll notice a big difference. Visual clarity and sparkle, even at low oxidizer levels show Nature² is working properly.
|After it's installed, will water maintenance change?
|Yes, you will dramatically reduce chemicals use and maintenance time. Water balance will be easier, meaning there's simply less to do.
|Do I still need to use chlorine? Why?
|Yes, you need to use a small amount of residual oxidizer. With Nature2 you can reduce this amount by 50% to 80%. For superior results, we recommend low levels of free chlorine (0.5 ppm free chlorine minimum). You won't feel, smell or be affected by chlorine at this level.
|Are low levels of minerals safer in a spa?
|Yes, water treated by Nature² actually meets and exceeds EPA drinking water standards for bacteria, silver and copper. Is Nature2 compatible with other products? Nature² can be used with every type of chemical treatment program available except bromine and bromide based chemicals, biguanide products (Baquacil* or SoftSwim**) and copper-based algaecides.
|Is Nature2 a filter?
|No. A filter removes particles and debris, while Nature² purifies water by trapping bacteria and algae, which are too small to be caught by a filter. You still need a filter when using a Nature2 system.
|Is Nature² an "ionizer"?
|No. Ionizers electrically discharge copper (or metal alloy) ions into water. Ionizers can deliver ions via an electrical current (electrodes) or salt dissolution. When do I replace the cartridge? Each model comes with a reminder to tell you when to replace it.
|What affects cartridge life?
|Nothing including filter run time, heavy use, hot weather, and water temperature.
|How do I dispose of used cartridges?
|The minerals inside Nature2 are natural, so it is safe for disposal with other household trash.
|How often do I need to super-oxidize (shock)?
|Because of the efficiency of Nature², super-oxidation is needed much less often. You only need to super-oxidize if the water becomes dull or cloudy. The start-up of each new cartridge requires an initial shock with chlorine.
Important Safety Information
Please read this manual prior to installation.
The Nature2 Spa is for use in residential
portable spas only.

The first F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 (VMFAT-501) lands aboard Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, July 17. The aircraft is the first to join VMFAT-501 at MCAS Beaufort since relocating from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. late last week. The F-35B Lightning II JSF will replace the Marine Corps' aging legacy tactical fleet. In addition to replacing the F/A-18A-D Hornet, the F-35B will replace the AV-8B Harrier and EA-6B Prowler, essentially necking down to one common tactical fixed-wing aircraft and providing the dominant, multi-role, fifth-generation capabilities needed across the full spectrum of combat operations to deter potential adversaries and enable future naval aviation power projection.

The Queen City Timekeepers Club Friday donated and installed an outdoor clock at Dumont Plaza.
M.L. Landrum said it's really a look to the past.
"You know we used to have some tower clocks. We had a tower clock in Lauderdale County courthouse and there were other buildings that have since been demolished that had tower clocks in them," Landrum said. "So this is one way we can promote the NACC; we can do something for the city and provide a beautiful monument downtown in Dumont Plaza."
The clock, which is made of cast aluminum, is run by a battery that needs replacement only once a year.

Nyl-Glo North Carolina Flag-Assorted Sizes
The North Carolina State Flag was revised in 1885 when the background became a blue vertical stripe at the hoist, and two horizontal stripes, red over white. In the blue stripe a white star separates the letters N and C. Two scrolls with dates appear over and under the letters NC. The scroll above contains the date , May 20, 1775, signifying the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Local folklore states that the residents of Mecklenburg County were the first in the country to proclaim their independence from England. The date below is that of the Halifax Resolves, April 12, 1776. The Halifax Resolves stated that the colony leaders would meet to establish independence and to organize themselves into a nation.
