MCA Presents at County Council "State of Agriculture" Briefing
On July 30th, Montgomery County Council members heard about the state of agriculture in the County.
Presentations from Ag Services Division, Park and Planning Staff, Ag Advisory Committee and MCA were heard by the PHED Committee comprised of Nancy Floreen (Chair), Marc Elrich and George Leventhal. Ag Reserve resident and attorney Jim Clifford also provided updated information on the Building Lot Termination (BLT) Program. Of note, is the growth of smaller family farms on 10-49 acres.
MCA's comments presented by MCA Executive Director, Caroline Taylor, walked a line between Pollyanna and Chicken Little – noting the significant growth in consumer spending and desire for locally produced food, the creation of the Montgomery County Food Council* and the need to meet the challenges facing farmers, both existing and start up, and the rural communities within the County's Ag Reserve. The suggestions included that the County Council:
- Identify funding sources for appropriate expansion of ag services that will spur growth in the industry.
- Request the establishment of a school board policy to protect the County's rural schools. Clearly a strong ag sector can be grown only if the County's rural communities have core services – including their few, but high performing schools. George Levanthal took issue with the request, indicating that the Council has no role in this dilemma. Ms. Taylor informed the group that is was indeed the MC School Board that directed stakeholders to have the Council make a formal request for a policy that will acknowledge the unique and important nature of the rural school cluster and provide for appropriate guidelines for the continued health of viability of its schools.
- Provide opportunity to lead by example, setting goals for purchase of locally (Reserve) produced food for County run institutions such as schools.
- Press the utilization of the Ag Reserve as a learning laboratory – in curriculum from k-12.
- Declare the important public policy that remains the center of the rationale and future of the Reserve: The preservation of agriculture.
- Help educate the County's residents about the Reserve and the benefits of buying locally produced foods through partnering on a marketing program such as "Buy Fresh – Buy Local" and news via the individual Council members e-news.
*MCA is proud to be a founding creator of the MoCo Food Council- a diverse group of stakeholders that aims to grow a healthy, accessible food system in Montgomery County. Public input and participation with the Food Council are encouraged.
Global Mission Mega Church: July 2012 Update: They're Baaack!
Update 7/28/2012
GMC has submitted a revised site plan. The overview of revisions is here, the full plan is coming soon- at the moment it is too large for our site (much like the building the plans describe). We have not had a chance to go though the many pages of plans yet to look at lingering septic and emergency access issues, but one thing is clear- GMC is still appears un-interested in scaling their plans back. The footprint of the building has been reduced but is still more than 118,000 square feet.
Out of curiosity, we looked into other buildings this size for comparison. Also 118,000 square feet:
-Rowan University's new state of the art library in New Jersey, a school of 10,000 students.
-The Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center in Washington State- the facility recently played host to the America's Got Talent auditions.
-The proposed new Super Walmart planned for Aspen Hill, Montgomery County, a project that will need a special exception because of its size. (your average Target store is 125,000 square feet.)
Stay Tuned…
Update 7/21/2012
GMC has filed a new site plan. We understand that this issue will be addressed within ninety days. Sugarloaf Citizens' Association and MCA will obtain the relavent documents/plans and make them available online.
Thanks again to the folks that have volunteered their time and expertise to work on this important issue. The goal continues to be to ensure that this project finds a location that is in proximity to transportation and served by public water and sewer. It is perplexing that the applicant has not acknowledged the extreme challenges to a project of this scale at a location with a multitude of challenges including septic, access, topography, master plans, etc.
Sugarloaf Mountain deserve protection. Let's work together to ensure the beauty and productivity of Frederick and Montgomery's shared countryside!
Previous Posts:
We understand that the Global Mission Church has been working on a new submission for their plan for a massive development (138,000 sq feet phase 1 building only) in the shadow of Sugarloaf Mountain. A new plan will trigger new public hearings in Frederick County. The details of the new application are not currently available. There is, however, no indication that the project will be scaled down. As to the the entrance in Montgomery County and through fragile Little Bennett Creek – nothing in a re-submission could alter the problems that portion of the project will create.
Stakeholders are mobilizing for this next round. Thanks to those who have volunteered their time and talents thus far on legal, planning and environmental issues relating to this ill-conceived project. We will send along action alerts as soon as we get a date for the hearing before the FC Planning Commission and as necessary for action on the Montgomery Side.

New MD Food System Map
Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future has recently updated their Maryland Food System map. The interactive map shows data about farms, food access and health in a readily accessible way. The map really shows the intersections of fresh food access and associated diseases (such as diabetes). The full state map grew out of an attempt to map Baltimore's food deserts.
Some findings from the map are encouraging- our state had 128 farmers markets last year- up from only 65 in 2001. The map also shows the work we have yet to do in keeping farms viable and increasing the number of new farms on the ground.
More layers to the GIS map will be added soon- to see the map click here.
Volunteers needed for Farm to Freezer project throughout the summer
Bethesda Cares and Full Plate Ventures has just launched a new project called, Farm to Freezer. They seek volunteers throughout the summer and fall to prepare fresh, local food donated by Spiral Path Farm for the freezer.

Spotted: Naomi Watts' Environmentally Friendly FamilyLulu and Moxleys Mom
I remember seeing Naomi Watts interviewed on the red carpet at the Academy Awards several years ago and she mentioned that she turned down a limo ride to the event because it wasn't good for the environment. I rolled my eyes and wondered what publicist wrote that line for her. Turns out, she was probably telling the truth! Yesterday her eco-friendly family, including partner Liev Schreiber and their two sons, Sasha and Samuel, cycled to Whole Foods (paper not plastic!) in New York City.

I've scoured the documentation and searched the forums, but I can't seem to find or recognize any information on using command-line utilities to import address books and calendars.
Is this a function of zmprov? Are there other utilities that do this?
I'd like to have this ability when we migrate users off of our iPlanet server. The only alternative I've thought of is to mail the user the csv and ics files as attachments and instruct him/her to import them using the web gui.
Am I missing something?
Any help would be appreciated.

Long after their son graduated, John & Ann Collier P '90 are still involved at Carleton
Sierra Leone isn't known as a hot spot for honeymooners. But in 1963, when the West African nation was still ruled by a stable government, newlyweds John and Ann Collier decided to join the Peace Corps and spend their first few years together in the coastal country. They worked for two years in a public secondary school, teaching history, geography, mathematics, and an oddball course called "General Knowledge." They learned much about Africa—and even more about each other.
"It was time well spent," says John. "In the very act of surviving, we gained considerable self-confidence and courage. We became excited about a place we'd hardly known before."
The Colliers believe that Carleton, too, is a place where young people can try new things and gain confidence. The College instills students with a thirst for knowledge and openness to new perspectives.
As parents of a Carleton alumnus, John M. Collier '90, the Colliers know that a liberal arts education can be as valuable as living in a different culture. Education, both formal and informal, begins with experience, they say.
We believe in the kinds of things that Carleton represents and the values that it reinforces.
—John Collier P '90
Their belief in the importance and value of liberal arts education has made the Colliers enthusiastic supporters of the College. They've contributed to the Parents Fund and set up a charitable unitrust that will someday benefit Carleton significantly. An additional gift from the Colliers in 2000 helped finance construction of one of nine new student townhouses at the southwest corner of campus.
The Colliers first visited campus in the 1980s, when they accompanied their son on a tour of several colleges. But John, a lifelong educator and an administrator with the Foreign Service Institute, and Ann, who taught high school and community college math, were familiar with Carleton's reputation. Their visit confirmed their suspicions: "We loved it," John recalls. "We liked the small-town setting, the close student-faculty interaction, and the diversity of the student body. We thought it was everything a small liberal arts college should be."
The couple connected with former President Steve Lewis, who himself had lived and worked in Africa. They appreciated the seriousness of Carleton students as well as their sense of humor. When their son married a fellow Carl, Megan Ensminger '91, it gave them yet another tie to the College.
Preparing students for a rapidly changing world—one in which peace can turn into war overnight, as happened in Sierra Leone—is a complex task. But Carleton's ability to motivate students toward lives of leadership and community service gives the Colliers confidence that their investment in the College is one small step toward making the world a better place.
"That's the kind of thing I think a small college should be doing," John says. "The students it produces should be not only competent in what they do, but also engaged fully in life around them."

An incredible show! The energy and passion of the actors and their timing made this play a pleasure to watch with oh-so-many laugh out loud moments.
Definitely a must see!

Sorry to say I did not like anything about this production.
It was slow and very uninteresting to me both staged and musically.
It felt amateurish and forced.
Some good talent, but not much. BAdly directed and no focus.

Positively dreadful. Amateurish writing, horrible music & lyrics, and a very weak production. I have thoroughly enjoyed other plays at SF Playhouse, so I hope they get comfortable and start doing good work in their wonderful new venue. But this is...continued

I found it bright and energetic. I learned a lot about Andrew Jackson and the First Nation diaspora of the 19th century. Not a lot of hummable songs to take back with you, but that was ok. It was fun to watch.
Quotes & Highlights
"[The musical takes] American idealism, resentment and fear of being perpetually misunderstood – adds a ravenous sense of entitlement and mixes these ingredients together in one big, gawky, sexually charged package: America, the eternal teenager. And who better to lead this restless, appetite-driven creature than a red-blooded rock star?" —Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"Insanely funny! Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson makes a bid for the smartest, sharpest new musical in years." —Time Out
Ashkon Davaran, a rock star in his own right (check out the number of Youtube hits for "Don't Stop Believing" during the Giants 2010 World Series), will star in the role of Andrew Jackson. The eleven-person ensemble that will double as the band includes: Michael Barrett Austin, El Beh, Angel Burgess, William Elsman, Jonathan Fadner, Safiya Fredericks, Gavilan Gordon, Lucas Hatton, Ann Hopkins, Olive Mitra, Daniel Vigil and Michelle Vigil.

Take notes on a touchscreen device with a new HAND Stylus
If you're looking for a new stylus that might help you in taking notes, take a look at the HAND Stylus featured in this week's Get App-y column. The stylus launched on Kickstarter and now is finding success in the real world as a stylus that comes pretty close to being like a ballpoint pen.
It retracts like one and even though it has a somewhat squishy silicone tip that's necessary for all touchscreen styluses, it writes as thin as any stylus you can get for a touchscreen. (Technology limits keep you from going thinner than 4 mm, which is the HAND Stylus' diameter.)
The HAND Stylus people sent me one to try out, and it's the easiest one to use for notetaking of the several that I have tried.
If you're interested, order one by clicking HERE. For tips from HAND Stylus founder/designer Steve King, see blog post below or click HERE.

Recently I have begun the development of FHU Mobile for Android. At first it seemed rather daunting, and while there is a definite difference in building web applications and native application, Google has given developers all the tools they need to build responsive, powerful applications that take advantage of the mobile state of an Android device.
After consulting the Android documentation, I was able to figure out just how to get everything up and running. The Android uses Java, so as far as I know, any Java-based IDE will work to develop Android apps. The developer's guide suggests using Eclipse, so that's what I went with. In the past I have used both Eclipse and Netbeans as development environments, but I must say I feel most at home with Visual Studio. First let me say that in my humble opinion, when it comes to IDEs, Visual Studio is second to none. Microsoft has developed a very intuitive (Microsoft?) powerful program that almost makes me feel as if it teaches me to code as a code. In the little time I have had with Eclipse I must say that it does offer most of the "perks" of Visual Studio, such as good error checking and an intelligent auto-correct, however it isn't as fluid as VS. Eclipse runs slow on my machine, whereas Visual Studio is rather snappy, even on my 2008 Macbook (Windows 7). Visual Studio's Intellisense shines even more after using Eclipse, in which its auto-prediction is rather slow and not that smart.
As mentioned earlier Android apps are written in Java which is particularly awesome because it allows you to use most any of the large number of java libraries floating around on the internet. With that mentioned the actual logical coding of the applications are very similar to any other language I have used. It is the view-based components, and how the different methods work that have caused the biggest challenge to me. I am slowly learning my way around the Android framework and I believe I will continue to enjoy this challenge.

When I was tasked with revamping the current iteration of Only1, I was initially overwhelmed - especially given what was requested. The idea was to increase the security around our password management so that we no longer relied solely on the last four of SSN and DOB to verify a user. The solution was a set of three security questions set up by the user when they first log-in to change their password. Sounds simple enough, right? Kind of.
The first question comes from a set of pre-defined questions. These were pretty generic and similar to the ones you might see on other sites (mother's maiden name, high school mascot, etc.).
The second question allows the user to type their own question and answer. This was so it would be difficult for two users to have the same security questions and thus knowing one another's answers.
The third question, and one that I initially thought would be difficult to program, involves a set of images unique to the user. When a user logs in, their username is assigned a set of 10 images - these images will always remain the same for the user and will always appear in the same order. This type of user verification is similar to what you might see on a banking website. With this third question, we can be sure that no two users will have the same answers.
Once the account is set-up, the user is given three options to proceed - the old username/SSN/DOB combo and two new methods. The first new method allows the user to enter their username and current password which would take them directly a change password page. The second new option allows the user to enter their username and then answer the three security questions previously set-up as verification before proceeding to the change password page. The existing username/SSN/DOB method still exists and requires answering the verification questions.
Once logged in, the user can also manage their account. This is helpful in the event a user feels their verification questions have been compromised or forgotten.
Only1 version 4 has been live since Monday and seems to be running smoothly so far.

CBB Betting – Minnesota and DePaul to Collide in the Old Spice Classic
Written by North Shore Sports, INC
The Minnesota Golden Gophers and DePaul Blue Demons are set to collide in CBB betting action at Bookmaker Sportsbook when the two teams meet up in the first round of the Old Spice Classic Thanksgiving Day.
NCAAB Betting Online:
The Minnesota Golden Gophers (4-0, 1-0 ATS) will look to continue their hot start to the 2011-12 CBB betting season on Thursday, November 24th, 2011 when they run up against the DePaul Blue Demons (2-0, 0-0 ATS) in the first round of the Old Spice Classic; the game's opening tip is set to go live on ESPN2 & ESPN3.com from the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at 2:30 ET.
Though the Golden Gophers have only played in one lined game to start the season, they enter this spot a perfect 4-0 SU and look to be one of the up and comers in the Big 10 after struggling a short season ago. Expectations are high for Head Coach Tubby Smith's squad who finally has a healthy roster to utilize moving forward. In toppling Bucknell, South Dakota State, Fairfield, and Mount St. Mary's, the Gophers cruised to easy victories on the back of their defense that enters this spot allowing an average of just 56.5 PPG (#39) while pulling down 5+ more rebounds per game than the opposition.
Big man Trevor Mbakwe has opened the season in beast mode scoring a team high 16 PPG while averaging 9.8 rebounds per game. His 20 points and 10 boards helped lead Minnesota to their lone CBB betting lines cover of the season against Fairfield. Guard Austin Hollins currently checks in as the team's only other double-digit scorer (10.0 PPG), but F Ralph Sampson III is shooting 60 percent from the field and his 10 assists are tied for the team lead. Though the team has only averaged 73.2 PPG (#126), it's shooting 48.3 percent from the field (#71). That paired with their stellar defensive play could find the Golden Gophers challenging for top honors in the Big 10 this season.
Head Coach Oliver Purnell has some work ahead of him in molding the Blue Demons program into what has seen him succeed as a head coach in numerous other stops. DePaul won just seven games out of the 31 it participated in last season, and they brought up the rear of the Big East tallying just one win in 18 overall tries. As bad as they were though, the Blue Demons managed to go 14-15-1 ATS, so the pieces were there to at the very least compete against the closing CBB betting lines.
So far, DePaul's offense has looked good in its pair of non-lined games against Texas-Pan American and Mississippi Valley State. Five players enter this match-up averaging double-digits in scoring with Guard Jeremiah Kelly's 17.5 PPG leading the way. The team's 85.5 PPG average currently ranks 19th in the country, and their 51.6 shooting percentage checks in ranked 11th. Still, you have to take the opposition faced into account before blindly backing the Blue Demons plus the points in this spot.
Though it's extremely early in the season and neither of these teams has taken on what most would consider stiff competition, the Golden Gophers hold an extreme advantage on the glass and at the defensive end of the court. That in and of itself could lead them to the CBB betting odds cover if the Blue Demons cool off from the field now shooting against their toughest opponent played to date.
Succeeding at CBB betting is often difficult, especially if you don't have the right sportsbook on your side to give you the best prices. Take advantage of the great NCAA basketball lines at Bookmaker Sportsbook and knock down a three pointer in the clash between the Minnesota Golden Gophers and DePaul Blue Demons today!

When you think desert, you're thinking hot and dry, which is pretty much the opposite of what your hands normally feel like on the slopes. If that sounds familiar, the Dakine Sahara women's mitten is for you. There's 280g of PrimaLoft insulation to keep you toasty when it's freezing. The removable wool liner helps on that front, and since it's naturally antimicrobial, it won't get funky, even when you wear them on back to back days. Being dry won't be an issue with the guaranteed waterproof breathable Gore-Tex liner. The leather palm holds up to everything you need to grab, and the comfy softshell/nylon shell is DWR treated for water repellency. January weather doesn't stand a chance.

Nice Mitts, fit BIG
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
These are really nice mittens, soft leather palms and wool interior. The interior comes out so they can be dried quickly. They fit big. My hand measured med-large and I ordered the medium...they were too big. Great return policy so I exchanged for the small and they are perfect.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Ok so I must have really cold hands as I realize the marmot expedition mitten is the only one so far that keeps me warm. They are great gloves but my hands could not take it on a 35 degree day. I have had frost bite to many times for these Mits!
Make up your mind!
Warm or not warm enough?
Warm hands!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I will buy this glove again and again! Warm waterproof and easy to dry on those days my hand get a bit warm! Stink free!

The Miami Dolphins (3-3) and New York Jets (3-4) meet Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium (1:00 p.m. ET, CBS). Here is point spread information and trends analysis from The Linemakers on Sporting News. For updated lines, visit our live odds page.
Weather: 55 degrees, rainy and windy
Line: Jets -2.5, Total: 39.5
Line movement: The Jets opened as 2.5-point favorites before Dolphins money pushed the game down to -2 by Thursday. The line was bet back up to 2.5 later in the week. The total opened 40, was bet up to 41, but UNDER money has moved it all the way down to 39.5.
Series trends – StatFox Six Pack:
— NY JETS are 2-12 ATS off a road cover where the team lost as an underdog since 1992.
— NY JETS are 29-53 ATS off a road loss since 1992.
— NY JETS are 21-8 OVER when playing with six or less days rest over the last three seasons.
— MIAMI is 7-0 ATS vs. poor rush defenses — allowing 4.5 rush yards/carry over the last two seasons.
— MIAMI is 29-10 UNDER vs. excellent punt return teams — more than 12 yards per return since 1992.
— MIAMI is 10-1 UNDER away in the first half of the season over the last three seasons.
Check out the Platinum Sheet for more valuable angles.
Dolphins outlook: Miami comes in off a bye week seeking to avenge a 23-20 overtime loss to the Jets last month in Miami. Kicker Dan Carpenter missed two field goals, including a potential game-winner in overtime, to allow the Jets to prevail. Dolphins RB Reggie Bush was injured in the first meeting after rushing for 61 yards in the first half. Rookie QB Ryan Tannehill struggled mightily in the first meeting, but he has been solid in directing Miami to back-to-back wins over Cincinnati and St. Louis entering its bye week. The Dolphins defense ranks in the top five against the run, providing an intriguing matchup against New York's ground-and-pound attack. Miami has won three of its last four at New York.
Dolphins' key injuries:
— CB Richard Marshall (back) questionable
— S Jimmy Wilson (ankle) questionable
Jets outlook: New York played perhaps its best overall game of the season at New England a week ago and dominated play, but a couple of costly late mistakes resulted in a 29-26 overtime loss. The Jets rallied to beat Miami last month as Mark Sanchez repeatedly hooked up with Santonio Holmes, who has since suffered a season-ending injury. Star cornerback Darrelle Revis was also lost for the season in the first matchup with the Dolphins. Sanchez had a season-high 328 yards against New England after throwing for only 82 in a win over Indianapolis the previous week. TE Dustin Keller saw his first extended action of the season and had seven catches for 93 yards. The Jets' 30th-ranked run defense allowed 185 rushing yards in the first meeting.
Jets' key injuries:
— C Nick Mangold (ankle) questionable
— RB Joe McKnight (ankle) questionable
— LB Calvin Pace (shin) questionable
— RB Bilal Powell (shoulder) questionable
— DT Kenrick Ellis (knee) questionable
What The Linemakers are saying: We just saw these two teams play last month in Miami with the Jets winning, 23-20, in overtime, and we think we'll see a similar game this week with the Jets on top. The Jets have gone 1-2 in their past three games but have covered all three. We think they're on the upswing and the price is cheap at less than a field goal.

The planning department says it has a number of initiatives for the southside, including the South Monroe Sector Plan.
The plan has approval and the county says improvements will soon begin. The City of Tallahassee says it's allocated about $10 million for infrastructure improvements for the southside.
"To hear from the community, to get their input, and engage them. We want them to know we've heard them and there will be a transformation in the southside," says Leon County Commissioner Bill Procter.
Other improvements include more sidewalks, bicycle lanes and landscaping.

Here is food for thought to gun control nuts.The Post-Aurora 'Rampage' Few Have Heard About
Posted by William Grigg on July 22, 2012 10:20 AM
One day after a lethal shooting rampage in Aurora, Colorado left twelve people dead and scores injured, another eruption of criminal violence left one dead and several others injured in Anaheim, California. The perpetrators of the second assault were officers from the Anaheim Police Department, who used "non-lethal" rounds — such as rubber bullets, which are reliably lethal at close range — to disperse a spontaneous protest that coalesced after the "officer-involved shooting" of a young man in the neighborhood.
Cell phone video of the police assault shows a wall of officers in riot gear directing "non-lethal" fire at a group of unarmed and terrified civilians — including several small children, who were shielded by a man who appeared to be their father. Another officer unleashed a police dog, which immediately attacked a stroller containing an infant. A bystander who interposed himself — and was mauled by the dog for doing so — probably saved the child's life.
Those acts, in which private citizens protected the innocent from criminal violence at the hands of the State's armed servants, were just as heroic as those of the three men in Aurora who died protecting their girlfriends during the shooting rampage.
Local news accounts, which retailed the department's version of events, described the crowd as "unruly" and the protest as a "near-riot" in which angry citizens "encircled" the officers and "began throwing things, including bottles and possibly rocks, at them," in the words of a Los Angeles Times report.The police also claimed that "several fires" had been started in trashcans. None of those claims have been been corroborated by video evidence or eyewitnesses. Nor have the police explained why the police gunned down the young man, referred to only as "Stomper," after he and two others fled when approached by the cops.
Immediately after the shooting, several residents confronted the police to demand answers. The Anaheim PD — sensing an ominous tremor of righteous outrage on the part of a neighborhood that has endured seven "officer-involved shootings" this year — reverted to type as an army of occupation: Within a matter of minutes, the unarmed protesters were outnumbered by heavily armed cops in body armor.
In the wake of the Aurora massacre, the public has been encouraged to believe that because of private gun ownership, every public gathering place can be transformed into the scene of a massacre. The Anaheim police rampage illustrates how quickly the State's armed enforcement caste — which, according to "gun control" activists, should have a monopoly on firearms — can turn any neighborhood into an urban war zone.

YES!: Princess Peach Cosplay Costume
Jenni Källberg, aka Pixelninja, aka the hottie that made and posed in the two Samus Aran suits, aka my future wife, aka my future ex-wife, is back at it -- this time with a Princess Peach cosplay costume. As you can see, it looks great, and so does Jenni (who is half Swedish and half Japanese). Wow, the things I would do to her. Like rescue.
Hit the jump for a whole bunch more of Jenni as Princess Peach, a couple of which include Racoon Mario, who I should have edited out.
Thanks to Brian, who's busy plotting Racoon Mario's assassination on World of Warcraft.

Plantronics announces Savor M1100 Bluetooth headset with advanced voice controls
Plantronics has recently announced their new Savor M1100 Bluetooth headset in Singapore. It features advanced voice commands which allows users to answer or ignore the call by simply saying them out.
Plantronics has unveiled their latest Savor M1100 Bluetooth headset that combines precision three-microphone audio performance to deliver exceptional audio experiences for conversations and audio streaming.
Plantronics Voice Commands
Plantronics Savor features convenient voice commands so users can always keep their eyes on the road, not their phones. Users can answer or ignore an incoming call by simply saying, "Answer" or "Ignore". The Plantronics Savor also includes whispered voice alerts for low battery, lost connection and more.
Precision Audio Performance
The Plantronics Savor features three microphones that work in harmony to ensure every word is heard clearly during conversations. Two of the three microphones precisely capture the user's voice and simultaneously cancel background noise. The third microphone automatically activates when in extremely noisy situations, helping to overcome the most challenging environments while maximizing battery life.
The three mics work with AudioIQ3, the next generation of Plantronics' AudioIQ digital signal processing (DSP) technology, to preserve the natural voice — so users don't sound robotic or tinny — and to improve speech accuracy. Plantronics Savor also includes WindSmart technology to reduce wind noise when taking calls in the car or on a busy street, and its premium speaker and automatic volume adjustments mean that users don't have to put a hand over their ear to hear inbound audio.
A2DP Technology
Plantronics Savor includes A2DP technology for streaming music, GPS navigation, podcasts, audio books and more from A2DP-enabled mobile phones, such as the iPhone and Droid. A new feature for iPhone users allows them to monitor headset battery levels with an on-screen battery meter.
Discreet Design and Comfort
The Plantronics Savor has a compact and lightweight design, featuring a stylish boom that ensures a subtle profile, while also maximizing audio performance by allowing for optimal mic placement. It includes soft gel ear tips in three different sizes and an optional ear loop to provide multiple wearing options and a comfortable fit. The Plantronics Savor provides up to four hours of talk time and seven days of standby time.
Pricing and Availability
Plantronics Savor M1100 will be available at various IT retail stores in Funan Digital LifeMall and Sim Lim Square with a recommended retail price (RRP) of S$199 (inclusive of GST) in early February 2011.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - At the Northway Mall you can buy pho, wigs, watermelon-flavored popcorn, fried catfish, stun guns disguised as lipstick cases and West African formal wear. You can leave with a rare copy of a 1994 Sega Genesis video game, a T-shirt that says "FBI: Female Body Inspector" or an introduction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You can get your hair braided into cornrows, buy a plane ticket to South Korea and hem a wedding dress.
More remarkable is what you won't find: many empty storefronts.
The Northway Mall, long one of Anchorage's most beleaguered, is 97 percent occupied with merchants - the highest rate in years, says its manager Mao Tosi.
"It looks like a mall again," Tosi said from his office recently.
And in its newest incarnation, a dearth of national chain stores and rock-bottom rents of $1 per square foot have allowed for a blossoming of small-scale entrepreneurship.
It's the latest chapter in a boom-and-bust - but mostly bust - story that started when the mall debuted to great fanfare in 1980, a time when indoor shopping malls were novel and celebrated.
Over subsequent decades it fell into decline, hemorrhaging national chain stores and customers who decamped for more modern offerings.
By 2000, a Belden Associates survey showed that three in 10 Anchorage adults had shopped at the mall.
When Tosi, a well-known community activist and former NFL lineman, was hired to take over day-to-day mall management in March of 2011, things were at a low point. The mall had an occupancy of only 60 percent.
A gaping hole loomed where out-of-business anchor tenant Gottschalks had once dispensed sweaters and perfume. The parking lot was empty, Tosi said. No cars meant no customers.
"It doesn't look good on a mall," he said.
Fortunes began to turn when two big national chains - Planet Fitness and Burlington Coat Factory - moved in last year.
Today, the Burlington Coat Factory is one of the busiest in the Pacific Northwest and drives a lot of mall traffic, Tosi said. "It kind of saved us," he said.
Smaller, mostly local mom-and-pop merchants followed.
On a cold late morning in November, a security guard on a Segway scooter zips down the concourse, past shops offering sports jerseys, comics and frozen yogurt. A young family pushes a double stroller into Dollar Power. Teenagers eat takeout kung-pao chicken and extra-tall energy drinks at tables with a view of the semi-full parking lot.
The mall is quiet, but not empty.
It looks a lot like the diverse, densely-populated Northeast Anchorage neighborhood that surrounds it, Tosi said.
Mormon missionaries Dylan Sant and Wyatt Hickman have been walking the mall in their quest to share their faith with Anchorage residents. It's a good place, they said, because A. It's warm, and B. It offers a mix of people to talk with.
"We see Samoans, Hawaiians, almost everybody is here," Sant said.
Ian Clark, the owner of Ian's Game Paradise, says the clientele at his gaming shop is mainly from the neighborhood and the owners of Northway Mall stores tend to be locals too. "Lynn's Pulltabs is actually Lynn," he said.
Tosi says he's tried to bring more community events to the mall. In the past year there's been hula-hoop performances, beauty pageants, farmer's markets, car shows, break-dancing, a haunted house and the 44th Annual World Championship Dog Weight Pull, sponsored by the Saint Bernard Club of Alaska. A new nonprofit art gallery showcasing local photographers, painters and carvers is the latest effort.
Many Northway Mall merchants are first-time business owners lured by low overhead costs.
When Barbara Hogan's daughter was accosted by a thief who stole her purse and shoved her in a car at a gas station, she decided to start a niche self-defense store.
Hogan checked out the Dimond Mall but found the kiosk prices too expensive.
Wo-Man Defense Products (the name is the response people have to being tased: "like whoa, man," Hogan says) opened on Nov. 6. Stun guns and tasers disguised as cell phones are big sellers so far.
Her children and granddaughter help run the store while Hogan undergoes treatment for breast cancer.
"I've wanted to be in my own business for as long as I can remember," she said.
Autumn Kim took a chance on starting her first business, Queen's Beauty Supply, when the mall offered her a deal on rent in exchange for signing a lease.
Now she presides over shelves of hair extensions, relaxants and straightening irons. Even though the mall isn't always crowded it is friendly, she said.
Still, opening a business is a risk.
"Of course it's scary," she said. "I worry all the time."
The mall's corporate owners, a Eureka, Calif.-based real estate investment company called Security National Properties, filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2011 via an affiliate called Security National Properties Funding III LLC, according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Calls to the company's California offices were not returned.
Tosi says he doesn't believe the parent company's restructuring will have any immediate impacts on the mall.
Whether the new crop of small businesses will endure is another question.
Ali Joseph, a Trinidad-born former Home Depot manager who ditched corporate life to start his own business selling Organo Gold coffee, said his location near the Carrs Safeway doesn't get much foot traffic as the entrance near Burlington Coat Factory and Planet Fitness.
"It could always be better," he said.
Turnover is still high. Tosi even bartered rental space for the services of a locksmith.
He'd like to see more national stores to help pull traffic and balance the smaller businesses.
And there are still vacancies to fill: A large specialty infusion pharmacy just left a 5,000 square foot space to be filled.
For merchants like Erlon Coelho, who sells flavored popcorn, candied apples and baked pretzels at his Sweet Sins Gourmet Popcorn store, the mall feels full of potential right now.
He thinks the holiday season is going to be a good one. And in the mall he sees the raw materials — space and freedom — for more ambitious ventures. On his iPhone he has pictures of a large, rideable electric train he'd like to bring in as a tourist and family attraction.
"I see a light at the end of the tunnel, put it this way," he said.

The BTA will be part of a 22 member force heading to Washington DC this week for the National Bike Summit. We'll learn about the state of the art in bicycle policy and lobby Congress on critical issues facing the cycling community. I'm joined by our Executive Director Scott Bricker, Safe Routes to School Director Angela Koch, and Policy Advocate Emily Gardner.
We'll be supporting the League of American Bicyclists in advocating for a Congressional Resolution in support of bicycling, support for Complete Streets Policies and support for the National Park Service. In addition to those, the Oregon group will be discussing issues ranging from the Historic Columbia River Highway to Safe Routes to School.
With a new president on the way and a new transportation act under development, the possibility of making a huge leap forward for bicycling is at our fingertips. It will be critical that we are engaged at every level of government. I, or someone from our team, will try to get a post up at least once day.

Homelessness among young people in Seattle is growing at an alarming rate, so a $7.7 million grant will go a long way to helping two local nonprofits — YouthCare and ROOTS — continue to provide emergency services and other programs aimed at getting kids permanently off the streets.
Melinda Giovengo can trace everything back to Sept. 15, 2008: That's the day Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, sparking a worldwide financial meltdown.
Since the collapse of the financial markets, Giovengo — the executive director of YouthCare, a Seattle nonprofit that provides emergency services, transitional housing, educational opportunities and employment training to homeless youth — has seen a 63 percent spike in the number of street kids looking for help.
"We've had young people walk through our doors and literally say, 'My family can't afford me any more.' And these are kids we typically wouldn't have seen before," Giovengo said.
Last year, 3,337 homeless youth received services from YouthCare, up from 2,057 in 2008, but doesn't include all the kids turned away because YouthCare's funding couldn't keep up with demand.

On Thursday, YouthCare and one of its community partners, ROOTS, announced a much-needed cash injection. The Seattle-based Raynier Institute & Foundation awarded the two agencies a $7.7 million grant, money that's already being used to provide shelter beds and a unique housing program to help kids kick drugs while looking for work or getting back into school.
The money is actually four grants in one, and is aimed at filling gaps in existing services.
"The unfortunate news is there are gaps in services everywhere," said Jeff Hauser, the Raynier Foundation's executive director.
The foundation is named for James Widener Ray, a Seattle multimillionaire who died in 2005 and wanted his entire $82 million estate to go to charitable causes.
Over the years, his foundation has awarded grants to numerous arts and cultural organizations, including $1 million to Experience Music Project.
But Ray, who was bipolar and battled drug addiction, also wanted his money to help young people struggling with the same problems he faced.
His name has already been added to the sign outside YouthCare's 10,000-square-foot facility on a triangle of land at the foot of Capitol Hill. The James W. Ray Orion Center is YouthCare's flagship site, where street youths, ages 12 to 24, can drop in for meals and showers — and enroll in a multitude of programs aimed at getting them off the streets permanently.
Some $2 million of the grant money is going to ROOTS (an acronym for Rising Out Of The Shadows), an emergency shelter for homeless youth in Seattle's University District.
The bulk of that, $1.5 million, is for operating expenses to keep the shelter open the next 10 years. The rest is for improving ROOTS' existing building or helping the organization move to another site.
YouthCare received the lion's share of the grant, $5.5 million. Of that, $2.1 million will be used to pay off the mortgage on the Orion Center.
Another $2.1 million is for a pilot program that began last March to provide around-the-clock supervision and support to a dozen homeless youth — most suffering from untreated addictions or mental illnesses — at a home in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood.
The rest of the funds, $1.5 million, are being used to offer a 15-bed, emergency shelter that opened at the Orion Center last Friday and has been full each night since.
Though official counts put the number of homeless youth in King County at approximately 400 on any given night, Giovengo and other youth advocates think the number is closer to 2,000, when you count kids who are couch surfing or sleeping on friends' floors.
The longer young people are on the streets, the greater their chances of becoming chronically homeless adults. That is why YouthCare steps in and does everything a parent should, from providing the basics — food, clothing and shelter — to helping kids find jobs, finish high school and apply to college.
"We need to intercept young people early so they don't become attached to the streets," Giovengo said.
The growing need that Giovengo first noticed in late 2008 shows no signs of slowing: YouthCare served 1,511 meals last month, up from 997 in January 2009.
During the first month of this year, 429 individuals used the Orion Center's drop-in center, up from 339 the previous January. And street outreach workers contacted 1,182 homeless youths in Seattle last month, compared with 747 in January 2009.
Jeremy DePriest, 23, and Kevin McMillen Jr., 22, made it into YouthCare's barista-training program, which has eight places for each eight-week training session it offers.
There were more than 50 youths on a waiting list to get into the class DePriest and McMillen began two weeks ago.
The two young men — like participants in all of YouthCare's programs — are paid minimum wage for their time.
DePriest, originally from Michigan, left home at 17. "It was bad," was all he'd say of his childhood.
His stepfather was abusive and alcoholic. Asked about his relationship with his mom, DePriest shrugged and said, "I don't really have one."
He traveled around before landing in Seattle, where he got addicted to meth and slept under bridges before another street kid told him about YouthCare. He is now living in a transition home and is enrolled to start community college in the spring.
"It saved my life," DePriest said of the nonprofit.
McMillen, from Youngstown, Ohio, came to Seattle in fall 2008 to attend art college, but the financial aid he was promised quickly fell through. He opted to stay here instead of returning home.
"My parents are excellent people but they're terrible parents. My childhood was rough and it really sucked," said McMillen, who is sleeping on a friend's floor on Capitol Hill.
"I just recently found out about this place; I struggled for so long before I knew help was available."

A 650MB recording (the standard capacity for CD's) can be transferred bit-for-bit in just over 2 minutes. This is very convenient, considering moving the same recording from a cassette, Minidisc, or DAT would take nearly 70 minutes and require special hardware to achieve a quality recording on your computer.
Test Machine Specs:
The transmission time of the R-1 (as described above) is measured on a Pentium M1.2GH running Windows XP with 256MB of RAM. The transmission time may differ according to actual performance of PC's and other conditions including power supply and memory-resident programs.

Please go Start, right click My Computer and click Properties.
Then click the hardware tab and device manager and see if there is any warning against any entry.
Is this the driver you downloaded ensuring that it was for XP 32 bit.
Here is your setup guide for that printer
I recommend you download it and follow the instructions.
When you post back I may need some more information, but on an early appraisal the problem MAY be this
Installing in Windows for USB interfaces
When the optional USB conversion cable is connected, the EPSON USB
printer driver and printer software contained in the CD-ROM supplied with
the printer cannot be used. Instead, install the EPSON USB printer driver
and printer software supplied with the USB conversion cable. The method
of installation is the same; however, refer to the USB User's Guide supplied
with the USB conversion cable for further details.
We can explore further when you have completed my recommendations in this post.

A USB connection is only possible with Windows 98 pre-installed PCs, and
with iMac and G3 series Macintosh computers.
I have Windows 2003, maybe this is the problem.
What about this page? http://xpdrivers.com...460/_5_1720.cfm
Will it help? Although I am worried about the message 'this type of file can harm your computer. Are you sure etc....

A USB connection is only possible with Windows 98 pre-installed PCs, and
The printer is old and that advice re Windows98 is of no relevance to this issue.
It means - not on software pre- Windows98.
Please do as I asked in my previous post
Is the device shown, or is there an unknown device listed.
Please go Start, right click My Computer and click Properties.
Then click the hardware tab and device manager and see if there is any warning against any entry.
When you connect the USB to the computer, did the computer find the NEW hardware - bottom right of the taksbar and did this then indicate that it was successfully installed.
What other USB connections, if any, do you have on the laptop.

At the moment, no other USB connections on the computer. I sometimes use a USB mass storage device but that is all.

The cable came in a box with no instructions and no printer software.
Instead, install the EPSON USB printer driver
and printer software supplied with the USB conversion cable. The method
of installation is the same; however, refer to the USB User's Guide supplied
with the USB conversion cable for further details.

Stage four of the Epson pdf instructions say
'After connecting the printer to your computer, you need to install the
software included on the Printer Software for EPSON Stylus COLOR 460
CD-ROM shipped with your printer' I would not know where to find this. I shall get back to you if it turns up.

Firstly you need to be logged on as an Administrator.
Open Congtrol Panel, User Accounts and see if you have an established Admin Account.
If you do when you are presented with the log on screen, one of the options will be the Admin Account, sign in to that account.#
If you do not use the built in admin account and here is how to do so.
The built-in Administrator account is hidden from Welcome Screen when a user account with Administrator privileges exists and enabled. In Windows XP Home Edition, you can login as built-in Administrator in Safe Mode only. For XP Professional, press CTRL + ALT + DEL twice at the Welcome Screen and input your Administrator password in the classic logon window that appears.
Now please check device manager.
Please post back on what is shown in there. and we will proceed to the next step.

I will be back about 1800hrs UK time.
Once you are signed on as Admin - you must be administrator to install new hardware try this
Setting Up the Printer Device
Follow the steps below to connect your printer to the USB port of your PC:
1. Turn off your printer. Plug parallel to usb cable into your printer. Turn on the printer.
2. Turn on your computer and plug in the USB connector of the USB-Parallel cable into
the USB port.
�� If you have already installed a printer.
a) Click Start. Control Panel Printers.and faxes Right-click the default printer icon
and select Properties. The Properties dialog box will appear.
Click the Port tab..
Under Print to the following port, select USB001: Virtual Printer Port for USB.
If you still have problems reinstall that driver from the link I sent you in my post 2. Do not install from the link you sent in post 3 please.
Also re this on one of your posts
Sorry, but I think I have wasted your time.
Stage four of the Epson pdf instructions say
'After connecting the printer to your computer, you need to install the
software included on the "Printer Software for EPSON Stylus COLOR 460"
CD-ROM shipped with your printer' I would not know where to find this. I shall get back to you if it turns up.
You do NOT need the other software for the printer to work only the driver, but the other software is on the driver link I sent you, simply click on the blue coloured. The other software is only various enhancements to the printer.

I have in fact NOT been online since Sunday due to unforseen circumstances here.
Could you please tell me from my post 9 and 10, what exactly you have done.
Were you signed on as an Admin Account.
HAVE you now installed the driver from the link I sent you.
The one you asked me about, was as I presume you found out a driver provider link, requiring registration etc. You should never use these, always get your driber from the computer manufacturer or the item manufacturer, ie in this case Epsom.
Going back to your post 1.
was this, you now know, because you did not have admin rights or DID the driver install but the printer fail to work.
I downloaded a driver from Epson and it did not work
Will a test page print., that is Control Panel, Printers and faxes, right click the printer, click properties and there on the general tab, you will probably find print test page.

I downloaded driver from Epson website. I tried Epson support but they would not help becuause I am using a smart cable.
I have deleted and reinstalled printer and driver several times.
I have tried reinstalling driver via my laptop because the printer/driver is listed on this system but now things are worse. I had a pop up message about the cable not being recognised and nothing prints at all.
Sorry, but can't talk computer language so hope I have made myself clear.

I appreciate how difficult this can be, as you have of course admitted that you have little knowledge.
Do not worry please just take this one step at a time.
1. Returning to my earlier post - are you NOW signed in as an administrator
2. When we reached the end of my post 10, your reply indicated a slight improvment in that the printer would then accept a command and print some lines before an error message was received. Is this correct.
3. Please download this file, save it to a location
4. Download again the driver for the printer from Epsom. and save that file.
5. Uninstall the printer in Control Panel.
6. Reboot the computer - when the notification that new hardware has been found appears - do not allow windows to install the hardware but open Control Panel Printers anf faxes and click on the left pane - Add a Printer, then click Next on the window that opens and then click the circle to check Local Printer attached to this computer, DO not check the box on that entry, automattically detect and install my plug and play printer. Then click NEXT on the entry Use the folowing port scroll down to the USB entry and select that. Then click Next and then click Have Disk.
Now in the window that opens go to where you saved the driver downloaded from Epsom - the one on the link I sent that you have previously installed before.
Then when you have that installed and the printer is recognised, reboot the computer and install the software you have downloaded from the link at 3 on this post.
When you have done that, and tried to print a test page as previosuly described please post back, with the results

Miltonias or Miltoniopsis are native to South America. Most of them grow in the highland rainforests, with fragrant, long lasting flowers. The modern hybrids can be grown in a home environment if careful attention is paid to the environment, potting mix, and watering.
Miltonias do not like for the potting mix to start decomposing. Therefore, it is best to repot them once a year, during the fall months, into an open mix that drains well. We use a seedling bark mixture or a rock wool mixture, both of which are open mixes that also hold a fair amount of water. The roots should not be allowed to dry out, but the pot should be given good drainage so the plant never stands in water. With thin leaves and small pseudobulbs, Miltonias do not like warm, drafty conditions that will dehydrate the plants. Try to give them a moderate, moist environment if possible.
Water Miltonias at least once a week, more often if the potting mix appears to be drying out. Fertilize with a dilute (1 teaspoon per gallon of water) solution of water soluble, balanced fertilizer about once every two months while the plants are growing. Do not fertilize during the fall and winter months.
Miltonia flowers last about six weeks on the plant, but they do not last well when cut. They are not suitable for corsages or cut flower arrangements. Most hybrids have a faint floral scent to the blooms. When in spike or bloom, keep plant away from drafts and excessive heat and cold as these can cause the buds and blooms to drop.
Light conditions for Miltonias are similar to those for Phalaenopsis or Paphiopedilums bright but indirect light. Direct sun will burn the thin leaves.
Note: This guide is only applicable to Miltonias (Miltoniopsis). For other varieties, please click on one of these links:

"Stand Your Gound" law in Florida
"Stand Your Gound" law in Florida
May 9 2005, 03:34 AM
Post #1
I wasn't sure whether or not to put this in the "Gun Control" topic or not so i just decided to make my own topic on it but anyway the "Stand Your Ground" law means that if you feel threatened you have the right to use force or deadly force. Now i support this law to an extent. On one hand it's good to have so people will watch what they say and thus will make for nicer people because think of it, would you want to cock off to someone and have them beat you up or worse yet blow your fucking head off, I think not. Now on the other hand it has the possiblity to produce some nut cases who will go around blowing people away for no reason and using the "I felt threatened" defense. What is your stance on this new law in Florida.
Input please

Country music singer Trace Adkins will not be coming to Onslow County this weekend.
The singer was scheduled to appear in concert Friday night at the Deppe Music Pavilion. But in a statement, Adkins' media representative says the concert has been cancelled "due to the promoter's breach of contract." No further explanation was given.
Adkins' handlers say those who purchased tickets with a credit card via ETIX will get a full refund via an automatic credit within the next three or four business days.
Adkins has had three #1 country hits, as well as a finalist on The Celebrity Apprentice.
