I am terrible at getting places, and as a result I constantly rely on Google Maps to help me navigate my surroundings. When it comes to taking public transit, however, Maps isn't always the best app for the job. I sometimes don't know exactly where to wait for a bus, nor when a train is actually scheduled to arrive. And since I'm always in a rush to get somewhere, that is essential information.
So, I downloaded Moovit and Transit to see if they can offer the features that Google Maps can't. Both apps aim to make it easier for you to hop on a bus or take the ferry to your next destination without any hiccups, though they both do so in different ways. Moovit is socially oriented and relies on its community to help suggest better routes, while Transit aggregates the information that's already available from local transit authorities. Regardless, I'm more curious about which of these three applications is the best at getting me home in a bind.
Getting around the city with public transit
I'll start off by stating that I felt confident using either Transit or Moovit to navigate through the San Francisco Bay Area, though both apps have their limitations.
Transit and Moovit both utilize different methods for pointing you to nearby transit. Moovit displays a map with icons indicating transit stops. You then tap each stop to see which bus lines pick up there and when the next one is scheduled to arrive. There are even markers for things like city bike share to let you know how many bikes are left to rent.
Transit's interface is a bit more helpful, especially if you're in a bind. Once you fire up the app, it immediately pinpoints where you are and where the nearest bus lines are. The further down you scroll, the more lines and methods of public transportation you'll see—there's even a handy link to call an Uber if you're absolutely unsure of how to get where you're going.
You can swipe to the left on each individual line to change directions, or tap to see the expanded schedule and its individual stops. You can also easily favorite each of the lines you use the most in Transit by simply tapping the star icons—this is still a bit of a chore in Moovit, though you can bookmark your favorite lines.
I was impressed with Transit's radius. I didn't have to put in an end address to see where I was going; I could tap on any line to see its route beyond my destination. However, the app seemed geared towards people who know the area that they're in and just need to find the nearest bus stop.
Conversely, Moovit is geared towards those who are new to a city and have no idea how to get around. It offers downloadable maps and frequently updated service alerts. And if you do find a better route than what Moovit offers, you can suggest it to the developers themselves.
I will say that despite their differences, both Moovit and Transit are good at letting you know the number of stops you have to go and when you should get off. Transit does so with a detailed listing of each stop, while Moovit offers a notification to let you know when you should get off.
Out in the suburbs
I believe that the best way to test out a maps application is to take it out to the suburbs, where public transit isn't a primary form of transportation. Google Maps has always been especially thorough about helping me find my way around all the little houses made of ticky-tacky, even if it resulted in three bus transfers and a mile of walking.
Unfortunately, both Moovit and Transit let me down. Neither app carried the local transit authority's schedule for my area. However, Moovit at least offered me an alternative route home from a nearby suburb, though it required me walking across a bridge.
Transit just stated that no directions could be found from my house to work, though peculiarly it offered me the same directions across the bridge on the way home from the city. Either way, If I were new to the area and didn't have a car to drive I would have been screwed.
Navigation and walking directions
Here's my biggest gripe about Google Maps: if I'm required to walk someplace after emerging from an underground subway, as is typically the case in places like New York City, I have to pull over and re-adjust Google Maps to switch to walking navigation mode. If I don't, I tend to get the directions wrong and walk the wrong way. (Did I mention that I'm really bad at navigating my way around?)
I tested both Moovit and Transit's navigation features on my morning commute in, since I walk about 15 minutes each way from my office to the train station. Moovit's navigation feature was more like Google Maps; the map rotated to let me know the direction I was headed in. Transit, on the other hand, merely offered a directional line to guide me from point A to point B. Needless to say, I preferred Moovit's full-fledged navigation features.
Just Google Map It
I can't ignore the fact that both Transit and Moovit didn't factor my county's transit authority, even if Moovit was a bit smarter about how to get me across that bridge. I imagine that both applications would miss out on these things in other cities. What if you're heading out to the suburbs in a European country, for instance? Wouldn't you want to know how to take the train to see a long lost relative?
If you live in a major metropolitan area like New York City or San Francisco, both Transit and Moovit are handy. Moovit is great for when you're just trying to figure out how to get your way around a new town, while Transit is a worthy app to have on hand to see when the next bus is scheduled to arrive. But if you're temporarily visiting a new place and you just need to figure out how to take the bus to your next meeting, stick with Google Maps. You may have to "pull over" to check on things from time to time, but Google has been the most reliable and the most thorough about offering directions via transit.
Updated on February 20, 2015 at 5:00PM PST:
Transit tweeted that that it's updated its app so that I no longer have to walk across a bridge to get home. Of course, that doesn't mean it has added every little county in the country, but if you have a request you can always reach out to the developers of your third-party app of choice.

$5.00 Per Gallon Gas In South Jersey?
Word on the street is: South Jersey gas prices are going to be at $5.00 a gallon by this summer. That's just the word. I hope the word is wrong. What are some creative ways your conserving on gas?
However, we can take head in Chris Lafakis's forecast on the upcoming gas price spike. Chris is an energy analyst with Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pa. According to the Press of Atlantic City, Lafakis states, "We predict the peak price will be somewhere between $3.80 and $3.85 (per gallon) nationally on Memorial Day weekend," maybe a little lower in New Jersey."
$3.80 is nothing to celebrate about, but I hope Chris is right. How are you conserving fuel in South Jersey?

How do I take out mortars?
Besides "Don't let him get mortars" - that's absolute crap, because the guy I just played against towered himself in, then rushed mortars so fast that I only had about 4 hunts by the time he had a mortar out. When he towers + has a mortar, I can't approach his base. I had a glaive in back to try to harass him while he was keeping me out of his base, but he could repair fast WHILE attacking my hero and few hunts guarding the glaives. PLUS, the mortars can attack the glaives EASILY.
with chimeras, or the lesser known strat with keeper of the grove /mass hippo riders hit and run abuse .
since he towered up his base and stood there, creep the hell out of yourself and gather all the money possible. Then u'll dry him out of money and win!
o_OOriginally Posted by A_Chimpanzee
Not possible.
Anyway, versus a base camper, you can either:
1. Push with glaive throwers (riskier, but shorter).
2. (Surefire win, but takes forever) Park a couple of scout wisps at his base entrance. Then go creep out the entire map and expand twice. Tech to bears or chimaera or whatever you want. Hire a Panda and get level 3 (or higher). If you see him leave his base, punish him and force him to retreat back to his towers. Prevent him from expanding. Watch out for invisimortar--carry a TP at all times and get a truesight scout hero 3rd (BM or POTM) if he insists on laming. Win by economic advantage when his mine dies.
You should have 4 Hunts before the Human even begins teching to tier 2, let alone finishes the tier 2 tech and has Mortars.Originally Posted by A_Chimpanzee
Either you are the slowest unit builder ever or you meant to say that you make Archers first. If you're going straight Hunts and you only have 4 when the Human has Mortars, then you are training units WAY too slowly.
MMARising.com | News | Articles | Interviews | Rankings
Yeah... I had 2 archers, and 2 glaives. But I was just showing that I hadn't time to even mass hunts yet.
It was very fast, that's what I'm trying to say. I wasn't even expecting him to have them yet.
O.o if hes camping dont attack and tech to something better. Like mass chimera or something would be cool and own the towers. or you could mass glaives for a lol fight
Don't ever mass Chimeras in this situation. Any idea how easy it is to switch from mortars to gyrochoppers? Glaives is kinda silly because They're just generally terrible, especially against towers with heavy and not fortified armour.Originally Posted by cork_da_orc
You generally want to get the bare min to counter what he has, because if you get a bunch of Chims and kill off his mortars, You'll get a billion choppers up your butt in no time. If you did go mass Chims, you'd have to push their base right away and fast. The problem with that is very commonly Hu with this strat has a bunch of expos with towers, and the base is divided up. Usually I see workshops built at HU's natural expansion.
Soo... there still isn't a viable counter to mortars. Mortars are fast. Chims are not. Chims are like... in the far reaches of Tier 3. You'd have to know that he's going mortars by the time you get to Tier 2, and make sure that you had built an Ancient of Wind in preperation for Chims (And DOTTS are pretty much worthless against someone going sorcs/rifles/mortars.) Furthermore... it was just stated that going chims would leave me incredibly open to gyrocopters. And glaives... phuh. :p They're so slow... I lost 3 in the beginning because he was able to guerilla them from behind his farm-tower crap.
So basically... "don't let them get mortars", "don't let them expand", and "know what they're going early" are the shallowest counters to any situation... but I'm starting to think that they're the only counters to a human throwing in early mortars.
bears and dryads?
Well obviously if the mortars are moving they are not attacking. Something you could do is split your army up into 2 control groups and hotkey a hero & 4 hunts to 2. The rest of your units would go in 1.Originally Posted by A_Chimpanzee
You need to play WC3 more if you have 4 hunts when he is at tier2.
most times against mortars it's your army that has to be on the move, not to die in a few shots, it's ridiculous when the human has 5 or more mortars and you don't have a whole bunch of bears it's just gg, they own anything on the ground and when you don't fight them they take out your base in no time
kotg entangle=1 mortar dead
just hit and run him while teching to bears or air.
Ye olde signature
The thing about mortars is that they have very long maximum attack range, but they also do have a minimum attack range. In battle, position your unarmored units such as dryads close to his mortars and focus fire them. A few mortars are still gonna hurt you, but you might prevent 1-2 from attacking your dryads. Don't right click on the mortars - your dryads will attack the mortars but still be far enough away to be attacked. Right-click near the dryads or just spam the M key near his mortars. If you've got Forked Lightning or Breath of Fire handy, spam it freely on the mortars. In a typical human army, mortars are always the most harmful unit to your dryads, so kill them first. Don't worry about taking damage by running past his front lines. You will take a lot more damage if you let the mortars run over you. With the mortars gone, you should be okay to fight the rest of his army. Healing scrolls never hurt anyone either.
i was playing in wetland, the human in begining built like 5 tower, then mass mortars. i saw this and i started to upgrade get bears. Just when i was about fiinish upgrading my tree, he sneak into my base using invisibility and use mortar to kill my tree. i used the owl thing and saw him coming, but when i got to my base it was already to late. I killed most of mortars and he tp back. i started to rebuild my base and he came back with rilfemans, casters and mortars and i lost? what shouldve i done?
______________________________"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. " Marcus Aurelius
yes take the hint of expanding. dont, i repeat DONT ever let hu tower. you have to worry about invis mortars. just creep and make like 1MG/chim/5dryad army.
how do i stop him from towering, in the begining human can just some tower and i cant touch his base until i get bears or chim.Originally Posted by Raithed
______________________________"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. " Marcus Aurelius
a mortar has 330hp, get warden+panda, reach them both to level3, fan of knifes and breath of fire=130+120=250 damage, so there will be just 80 hp left for mortars,!!!!
im so sorry about that, i meant expanding. if he has a NE(natural expan) go there constantly to check. if hes only towering himself in and getting morts, you just need to creep and expand. play this ffa style. stay 50foot while creeping, make 3buildings of each type. 3aowing 3chim etc. as you rank up your economy you will win this with mass units.Originally Posted by swithblade
i dont understand..u let human stay in his base and get mortars and u built hunts and glaives to counter that and towers? hmmm i think sorc and mort/rifle rapes hunt so just do what every other ne does and mass dryads and go panda/pl...also glaive are worst siege in game so idk what u would expect from t1 crap. just mass expo and get mgs/bears/dryads if u dont feel like massing dryads. he might be able to stay in his base and fend off dryads but if he goes out u will have mass expo and dryads atk move atk and just spam bof/rof w/e gg. the old moon vs tod game on ts shows taht mass dryads can beat rifles,casters,morts,breakers which is the epitome of balance.

6. Yang Dae Hong Sewol Ferry Officer; "I have to go save the kids now, dear"
At the time of the accident, Mr. Yang made a short call to his wife, leaving his last words, "Can't talk for long...There's some money in the safe, use it for our oldest son's school tuition."
7. Park Ji Young- Sewol Ferry Attendant- "The attendant is the last to leave"
Realizing there was a shortage of life vests, Miss Park took off her own life vest and assisted in leading the passengers to safety.
8. Jung Hyun Sun and Kim Ki Woong Sewol Ferry Attendant Couple- "Please hurry and go outside of the ship"
Planning to get married, the Sewol couple could have safely made it out, however, they decided to rescue passengers who were trapped inside.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/1/2014 (1325 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You're on a mission in 2014 to lessen your intake of french fries and cupcakes in favour of foods that fuel your body with energy and nutrients.
While that's an admirable goal, are you certain you know enough about what foods are best for your health?
Take this quiz to find out:
1. Which of the following oils contains the least amount of fat and calories?
A. Olive oil
B. Butter
C. Peanut oil
Answer: While different cooking oils vary in the types of fats they contain, each has about the same number of fat and calories (about 120 calories and 14 grams of fat in a tablespoon). That means each will equally contribute to weight gain. However, oils containing less saturated fat and more unsaturated fat are healthier for the heart. Of the above list, butter contains the most saturated fat and olive oil the least.
2. Studies suggest that omega-3s can boost brain function and reduce risk of heart-attack fatalities. Which of the following seafoods contains the highest amount of the essential fatty acids?
A. Tilapia
B. Shrimp
C. Sardines
Answer: Sardines contain the most omega-3s, at about 400 milligrams for every 28 grams. Shrimp contains some but fewer omega-3s. Tilapia, however, contains negligible amounts of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Some reports even claim the popular restaurant item contains an unhealthy proportion of omega-6 fatty acids, thought to be a factor in inflammation and disease. To get your omega-3s, stick to deep-water fish such as sardines, salmon and mackerel. You can also get omega-3s from plant sources such as flax. The body has an easier time using those found in fish, however.
3. A person with lactose intolerance has trouble digesting milk. Which of the following dairy-based foods is high in calcium and suitable for most people who are lactose intolerant?
A. Cottage cheese
B. Yogurt
C. Cream
Answer: If you chose B, you are correct. Yogurt not only contains the same amount of calcium as milk, most people with moderate lactose intolerance can digest yogurt -- the kind with active bacterial cultures -- with ease. That's because yogurt is fermented and therefore contains probiotics. These bacteria help digest some of the lactose in yogurt so you don't have to. Cottage cheese, by the way, is high in protein but not in calcium the way milk is.
4. Some studies suggest that vitamin C helps prevent colds. Which of the following foods contain the most of the antioxidant vitamin?
A. Six brussels spouts
B. A mandarin orange
C. Six strawberries
Answer: Surprisingly, six brussels sprouts contain the most vitamin C here -- nearly 70 milligrams of the stuff. Red and yellow bell peppers contain among the most vitamin C -- up to 144 mg in a half-cup serving. One medium orange, by comparison, contains about 43 mg of vitamin C.
5. Reducing sugar intake will cut calories and help your metabolic system run more efficiently. Which beverage contains the most sugar?
A. One cup of unsweetened apple juice
B. One can of pop
C. One venti skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks
Answer: The 355 ml of pop contains the most sugar, at 39 grams in a can. That's about nine teaspoons. But juice contains about the same amount: one cup (250 ml) has between 24 and 29 grams (about six teaspoons). Even though juice contains some vitamins, keep your juice consumption to a minimum. It's relatively high in sugar and calories. As well, it does not contain the fibre of its whole-fruit counterpart. That means juice, like pop, causes extreme spikes in blood-sugar levels, which can lead eventually to extreme blood-sugar drops.
6. Fibre can help us feel full longer as well as keep our colons healthy. Which of the following contain the most fibre?
A. One slice of 100 per cent whole-wheat bread
B. One-quarter cup whole, raw almonds
C. Three-quarters of a cup of frozen raspberries
Answer: Raspberries are the winner here, containing nine grams of fibre (and only 70 calories). Almonds contain a healthful four grams of fibre, while one slice of Dempster's original 100 per cent whole wheat bread contains 1.75 grams of fibre. The lesson: Don't be fooled into thinking that bread is always the best source of fibre.

Good luck, Browns. No pressure or anything. "Yes, RG3 would have been a dynamic player at a position where the Browns desperately needs to improve if they want to compete. But he was not and is not the only option when it comes to solving the 13-year long quarterback conundrum.
First, there is free agency, which begins at 4 p.m. on March 13. PeytonManning is the biggest prize, but Browns have said they are not interested in his services.
They will look into Matt Flynn. Flynn only has impressed in two-career NFL starts under his belt in Green Bay. He is looked upon as the answer at the quarterback position for teams struggling in that area. The Browns surely fall in that category.
If Manning goes to Arizona, suddenly Kevin Kolb becomes available. Kolb did not have a great first season with the Cardinals, but he is considered a perfect fit in the West Coast offense.
There is still the draft, where quarterbacks like Ryan Tannehill, Kirk Cousins andBrandon Weeden are options.
Finally, the third option resides: Stick with Colt McCoy." [Don Delco/Orange and Brown Report]
I, for one, am super excited about Shelly Duncan as the everyday LF. "Without boring you with another trip down "Karim Garcia Lane" (that was done in November), let's remember that Kelly Shoppach was one of the best hitters in the AL in the 2nd half of 2008 (better than A-Rod and Miggy that year post-All-Star Break), and ended the year with an .865 OPS as a 28-year-old. In case you lost track of Kelly, he's posted a .625 OPS since leaving Cleveland and has yet to replicate the success that he enjoyed for those few magical months in 2008. Maybe that's unfair to Duncan as it needs to be noted that the other player that surprisingly thrived in the 2nd half of the 2008 season was Choo, who took full advantage of his regular playing time to post terrific seasons from that point through the 2010 season.
Maybe you want to argue that this has the look of an opportunity that can be seized by a player that has largely been a career minor-leaguer/role player to this point, the way that Casey Blake took advantage of opportunity in 2003 and similar to how Jack Hannahan made the most of his situation last year. That may be true and Duncan could certainly come out gangbusters in 2012 as the starting LF, but let's remember that the Tribe team that Blake was trying to break into had won 78 games in 2002 and would lose 94 games in Blake's 1st year as an Indian. Similarly, Hannahan was entering a situation where the Indians had just lost 97 games in 2009 and 93 games in 2010 as they were unquestionably still attempting to build a core for the team. Compare those situations to the one facing the Tribe in 2012, with the Ubaldo trade signaling the "window" of opportunity, when the Indians need to maximize every chance they have to take advantage of the assembled talent that they have before players have the option of leaving via FA." [Paul Cousineau/The Cleveland Fan]
Trying to make a "but at least Irving's ROY chances improve!" joke and just can't. This stinks. "Ricky Rubio has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2011-12 NBA season. We're way past the days when an ACL could end a career, which is good. Still, Rubio's injury pretty much guarantees the Timberwolves won't make the playoffs, obliterates all the buzz and outside interest that the team had going this season, and robs the NBA of one of its most exciting, and least risky, young attractions. Jeremy Lin is a good player in a shaky situation. Ricky Rubio is an incandescent, undeniable talent. His game is pure beauty, in most Euro-sporting sense, and even the most hetero dude has to acknowledge his baby-faced, shaggy-haired charm. Sidenote: Along with Monta Ellis, he is my baby's favorite athlete to see in close-up on the television set.
Still, none of this quite explains why the immediate reaction to Rubio's news was so pained. It's being taken as a tragedy, a cosmic offense perpetuated not against the Wolves, but we, the viewers. No one wants an NBA without Ricky Rubio; without him, we run the risk of being plunged back into an unhappy place where the comparative evil of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, and the careerist angling of Dwight Howard, are the major plot points from day-to-day. Lin may have already been swamped by Knicks dysfunction, which is to say, his net effect has been forcing us all to talk about the Knicks' problems way more than we want to." [BETHLEHEM SHOALS/The Classical]
Ohio State faces Michigan State for, well, some of the marbles. "Yesterday OSU dispatched the erstwhile B1G co-champion Michigan Wolverines in rather dominating fashion, pounding the boards and owning the paint on their way to a 77-55 victory. Meanwhile, the Spartans took care of their end of business by clubbing the Badgers of Wisconsin over the head 65-52 in the first game of the day.
The implications of this game go beyond mere conference hardware. With Syracuse, Duke, and Kansas losing in their respective conference tournaments, the list of teams to get #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament has become a bit more crowded. The winner of today's game will hold bragging rights as the best team in the nation's best conference, and will have an excellent argument to join Kentucky et al on that elite list when the selection show begins to reveal the much anticipated NCAA dance card." [Joe Beale/Eleven Warriors]

The fresh image of the upcoming drama sees Houston and Sparks donning gorgeous dresses while standing together in what seems to be a dressing room.
How Whitney Houston and Jordin Sparks will look like as mother and daughter in "Sparkle" has been unveiled in a first look image from the film. The freshly released photo gives a look at Houston as she holds Sparks' arms while standing close to the "American Idol" alum.
Dressing up in gorgeous dresses, Houston and Sparks are seen standing together in what seems to be a dressing room. The "I Will Always Love You" veteran diva is seen donning a glossy gray dress that she paired with a bejeweled necklace, while the "No Air" hitmaker is seen rocking a daring low-cut red gown that she combined with hoop earrings.
In the upcoming drama, Houston plays a "not-so encouraging mother" of the titular character, who is portrayed by Sparks. The film is inspired by the story of The Supremes. It follows the journey of the three Williams sisters, who begin singing in Harlem in the late 1950 before finding fame as a girl group. Their sudden rise, however, unravels their personal lives.
"Sparkle" is a remake of the 1976 music-themed film of the same title. The movie will mark Sparks' first acting stint and Houston's first movie since 1996's "The Preacher's Wife". They will be joined by Mike Epps, Cee-Lo, Omari Hardwick, Tika Sumpter, Derek Luke and Carmen Ejogo.
Serving behind the lens is Salim Akil, whose wife Mara Brock Akil pens the screenplay. The couple also serve as the producers along with Debra Martin Chase, TD Jakes and Curtis Wallace. TriStar Pictures has scheduled for the movie to be released in the U.S. theaters on August 10.

Things to do in Garibaldi, Tillamook CountyMay 17, 2015 7:49 pm Leave your thoughts
Located on Tillamook Bay, Garibaldi, Oregon is the gateway to the Pacific Ocean. This small port town of about 1,000 residents is the only commercial port on the bay, and the closest ocean harbor to Portland.
Bay fishing, clam digging, crabbing and kayaking
Five rivers flow into the Tillamook Bay, producing some of the best bay fishing, clam digging, crabbing and kayaking in the northwest. Garibaldi is also home to great ocean fishing for salmon, rockfish, halibut and albacore tuna. Whale watching, ocean crabbing and sunset cruises are also popular.
Garibaldi is centrally located to take advantage of it all
Just to the north is Rockaway Beach, with seven miles of spectacular, sandy ocean beach. A few miles further north is Nehalem Bay. Just to the south is Tillamook, Cape Meares and the Three Capes scenic loop. Netarts Bay and Nestucca Bay are a few miles further south. Many consider this area to be the jewel of the Oregon coast, and Garibaldi is centrally located to take advantage of it all.
Other Area Attractions:
Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad
Coast excursions run from Garibaldi to Rockaway Beach, and are an hour and a half round trip, this includes a layover in the town opposite from where you board. This is a great time to disembark and explore the town, play on the beach, get an ice cream cone, or shop in the variety of boutiques.
Dinner Trains are a three hour round-trip from Garibaldi to Wheeler with views of Tillamook Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and Nehalem Bay. Visit their website for schedules, charter information and special events.
Tillamook Cheese Factory
Over one million people visit the Tillamook Cheese Factory Visitor Center each year! It is open 8 AM to 6 PM (Labor Day through mid-June) and 8 AM to 8PM (mid-June through Labor Day), offering self-guided tours, flavorful samples of its international award winning products, a gift shop, fudge counter, ice cream counter and its famous Farmhouse Café. A visit here will exceed your expectations.
Blue Heron French Cheese Company
Blue Heron's historic 40-acre farm is a vacation destination. Originally, the land was home to a showcase Grade A Jersey farm, and the Pastega family bought it in 1978 to make its famous brie cheese. The 1930's Dutch Colonial barn that now houses Blue Heron's tasting room, deli and specialty foods store has a distinctively old world feel, making it the perfect place to showcase fine cheeses from around the world.
Kids love feeding the gentle animals and chasing chickens, while visitors of all ages enjoy exploring the vintage tractors and farm equipment from a bygone era. Every year the family hosts a variety of special events, including a Fourth of July celebration and the popular Old Iron Show.

Congressman Steve Scalise today released the following statement regarding President Obama's first 100 days in office.
"President Obama's first 100 days have been marked by a constant barrage of liberal policies. From record spending that grows the size of government to reckless borrowing, as well as proposals to raise hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes and bailout more failed companies, this liberal agenda will do irreparable damage to future generations.
"In just three short months he has already passed more new government spending than any President in history, and is proposing a budget that doubles the national debt in five years.
"I would encourage President Obama to fulfill his pledge of bipartisanship by working with those of us who have presented fiscally responsible alternatives, rather than allowing the liberal leadership in Congress to drive an irresponsible agenda."

At night, the truck is driven a dozen miles south to an inspected commissary, as is required by law, where it will be sanitized and restocked with fresh food. Tomorrow morning, as every morning, it will be driven
As if on cue, the truck's starter clicks twice and dies with a moan. Ortega sighs. The key turns a second time, to no apparent effect. Once more, the key turns and the old truck reluctantly wheezes to life, pulling away from the curb and easing into traffic with the slow majesty of an ocean liner. Ortega straightens his jacket and walks across the street toward home.

John Tortorella:
"Tonight's game is such a grind, totally different from (Thursday) night's game, and I thought as the game wore on, especially in the second period, I thought we started taking control of it. We still didin't develop a lot of offense, but I thought we started taking control of it."
"It doesn't matter who you're playing, these are important points. I thought they played hard. I thought they defended hard, and it could have gone either way here. So I don't get too deep into, 'Should we beat them.' … it's not the way the league works. There's so much parity in the league, it's a tough night every night. And tonight was no different. So we're very fortunate to come away with two points.
"I thought, speaking on our team, a big part of our meeting was defending the front of our net better, stopping in front of our net, getting back to blocking shots. I don't think we gave them much. Hank makes a huge save after Dubi hits the post in a short-handed situation, but I think we really worked hard on our defense. That's something we really wanted to get back to."
"I look at one clip where Michael Sauer, we defend the play well in our end, on Brian Boyle's scoring chance. We defend it, we're all there, and Michael Sauer's up the ice, he makes a great offensive, instinctive play, holding onto the puck, letting it develop, and Brian Boyle ends up with a great chance. That was defense first, and you create your offense. That's what we're trying to be more consistent at."
On Avery's concentration lapsing:
"You always want to stir it up, huh?"
The question was then changed.
"I changed the mode of your question, I think. Listen. Sean was effective. When we lose him, and the way that he's playing right now, it hurts him and it hurts the team. I think Sean knows that. But I think he bounced back and he had some effective shifts.
"I'm not going to look for people to pick fights with me on Sean Avery. Sean Avery has grinded through it. He's been on the fourth line, where I thought he should have been for the way he was playing at times, but he's kept his patience, he's worked hard and he is where he should be right now. We have to live with some of that stuff, and he'll learn from it. He'll learn from it."
On Staal's PPG:
"It's a great shot and Frolov does a nice job there screening the goalie. But it's a play we're trying to get our team to use more frequently."
"I thought Step made the play. He kept his patience with it, let it develop, everybody came to him and he dished it to Marc.
On whether he expects more offense from Staal:
"That's part of it, where we want to give him some time there. He's had many conversations with me where he wants to add there. Last year he doubled his points from two years ago, and slowly we want to give that to hhim. That's a big part. He signs a congract and there's some responsibility that comes with it, and we certainly want to give him some opportunity to play on both sides of hte puck. And we're slowly going to try to develop him there.
"He reads the rush very well as far as when to join. So I hope that gives him confidence, and he deserves an opportunity there. We've been up and down with that thing there. I think it will help his defense, too. A year ago I wouldn't have said that. But I think hes mature enough to know, his mainstay is to defend, but he wants to add that to his game."
Boogaard, he said, got cut by a high stick and was stitched up.
On Del Zotto fighting it a bit on the PP:
"A little bit. That's why we're going to try some different people there. By no means are we going to lose Michael Del Zotto, but we want to try some different things there. I thought Stepan made a great play on Staalsie's goal, keeping his patience, shifting people. It's something we've been working on.
"You know, Michael's been at the controls for a while. It hasn't been consistent. So we'll use some different people there to try to get some consistency on it. Again, it's a young guy in Michael that fights it a bit there. But he'll rebound. He'll rebound and he'll get some more opportunities."
On whether he looks at the standings:
"At times, yeah. I looked at them last night, not so much the standings but I looked what the West did to the East n the games last night. I think we got a lot of help last night with Western Conference teams beating the East.
"I have a good idea where we're at. What we've gone through so far this year and how the team's coming along, I like where we're at. I'm not exactly sure as far as the points. But I know we're climbing. These were important games. These were two games that we knew were going to be hard-fought, and I think we took a step in the right direction in beating this club twice. So now we've just got to skate tomorrow and get ready for an Ottawa team that we feel we're going to be fighting against all year to get in (to the playoffs)."
On this game:
"I thought we played well. From a coach's standpoint, I thought we defended much better than last night. Our high man was better, though we still had some breakdowns. I thought we were harder in our end zone. I thought we had better sticks tonight in our end zone, which we didn't have last night. We defended the front of our net much better. Offensively, we're still shooting pucks wide. We need to capitalize and get that next goal. But, hey, I have no problems with the way we played tonight, coming back to back, and no matter where (the Islanders are) in the standings, they're always screwed-up games when the Rangers and the Islanders play. So I thought we handled ourselves very well."

Vision = valueMonday, June 13th, 2011
I sell (and I use that term loosely because I don't promote them much and thus sell few) t-shirts that say that: Vision = value. You can get one here, if you are so inclined, but that's not why I'm writing this post. I'm writing it because I wish I had a big, magical, cartoon-like mallet with this imprinted on it, with which I could smack some of you in the head and somehow get the concept into your thick skulls.
Harsh? Maybe, but said with frustrated love.
If you are struggling with your photography business, it is likely that you are not being a visionary. You must be a visionary because without having and being true to your own, individual vision, you cannot survive in the photo business today. So, if you are struggling, either you aren't developing your own vision in your images or you aren't promoting that vision well, or both.
Yes, it really is that simple at its core.
You can tell if you aren't developing your own vision if you do any of these:
1) focus on your gear–especially if you buy new gear often;
2) get defensive about the gear others use, especially when one touts something like the iPhone as a legitimate tool;
3) follow trends like the HDR fad or tilt-shift or whatever is next;
4) try to make work like any other (more successful) photographer;
5) haven't shot a self-assignment in over a month.
You can tell you're not promoting the work well if you:
1) spend most of your time in social media land interacting with other photographers;
2) regularly spend more on gear than marketing;
3) have a website with a combination of categories including any variation on "people," "places," and "things";
4) can't name off the top of your head 10 top-priority targets you want to work with more than anyone and be able to articulate why you want to work with them;
5) haven't sent a print mailer out in over 6 months;
6) haven't made any calls to get your book seen in the past two weeks.
Neither of those lists are exhaustive, by the way.
Deep inside, you know if you are wussing out and not going for it full-on. Is it risky to make your work, only your work, and to put that out to the world? Sure. You will get rejected by some (many) and your ego will take a beating.
But it's riskier from a business perspective not to.
You've got no chance to stand out unless you stand out. Again yes, at its core it really is that simple.
So here's my challenge to you: look at your work on your site. Do you love it–all of it? Does it make you smile/get you excited/make you want to do more of it? Be honest–don't look at it from its technical side and definitely do not ask "Do I think buyers will want this?" If you do, then look at your marketing.
If you don't, then get off your creative butt and start making the work that you make out of love and that weird compulsion that makes you do this and not be a 9-5 "normal" person.
Remember, if vision = value then, by logic, no vision = no value. You don't want to be there.

This video is about the ubiquitous human activity of building with wood, and highlights common concerns faced by all woodworkers. By contrasting age-old Japanese tools, technology and techniques with the more common approaches in Western methodologies, the challenges, insights and options modern woodworkers face come into clearer resolution.
Hand Tools with Frank Klausz will inspire you to move away from your power tools and try woodworking with your hands alone. Frank Klausz demonstrates how to sharpen a chisel in no time, how to rehabilitate flea market tools, how to flatten the bottom of a plane and how to stand and hold the plane while using it, how to set and sharpen a bandsaw and how to saw straight and smoothly. The refinement that hand tools will bring to your work will be extraordinary and distinctive from machine-produced pieces.

Chén Yuánbái 陳元白 (1877-1940)
|Notable Associates:
Chén Yuánbái 陳元白 (1877-1940) was a prominent lay Buddhist in Wǔchāng 武昌, who helped establish the Wǔchāng Buddhist Seminary 武昌佛學院.
Chén participated in the army that laid siege to Nánjīng 南京 during the Revolution of 1911. In 1913, he went to Japan, where he studied philosophy and meditation. Around 1918, he joined Jiǎng Zuòbīn 蔣作賓 and Huáng Bǎocāng 黃葆蒼 (who ordained as Dàcí 大慈 later that year) in going to Pǔtuóshān 普陀山 to hear Tàixū 太虛 lecture. Chén became a devoted student of Tàixū. Later that year, Chén and Lǐ Yǐnchén 李隱塵 invited Tàixū to come lecture in Hànkǒu 漢口, which marked the beginning of Tàixū's Buddhist activities in the Wǔchāng 武昌 area. In 1918, Chén and these individuals also helped establish the Awakening Society 覺社 in Shànghǎi 上海.
In 1920, Chén, Lǐ, Wáng Sēnfǔ 王森甫 and others invited Tàixū to Wǔchāng to lecture again. These lectures were attended by numerous businessmen and community figures. This was the beginning of the Hànkǒu Buddhist Association 漢口佛教會, which later became the Buddhist Right Faith Society 佛教正信會. The following year, they again invited Tàixū to lecture, this time at Guīyuán Temple 歸元寺 in Hànyáng 漢陽. After these lectures on the Yuánjué jing 圓覺經 (Sūtra of Complete Enlightenment), Chén, Lǐ, Wáng, and others decided to establish the Wǔchāng Buddhist Seminary 武昌佛學院, which they invited Tàixū to head.
In 1924, Chén was one of several thousand people to receive esoteric initiation, or abiṣeka, in Japanese Esoteric Buddhism 東密 from Chísōng 持松 at Bǎotōng Temple 寶通寺 on Hóngshān 洪山.

Streets Ahead: Life After "City Lights"
Continuing the first volume of his memoirs in "City Lights", Keith Waterhouse records his arrival in Fleet Street in the early 1950s. He evokes an almost Dickensian world of clanking printing works, but one in which he sensed profound social change was soon to manifest itself in an explosion of New Wave books, plays and films like "Lucky Jim", "Look Back in Anger" and his own "Billy Liar". Reliving the excitement of its success, his partnership with Willis Hall, writing for the theatre, screen and television, and their sojourn in Hollywood, Waterhouse creates an impression of an eventful and exhausting era.

NTSB: Pilot error likely cause of fatal ND crash
VALLEY CITY -- Pilot error likely caused an airplane crash last fall that killed a veteran North Dakota stunt pilot, federal investigators have found.
Bob Odegaard died Sept. 7 when his vintage Super Corsair plane crashed while he was practicing for a Valley City air show. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that Odegaard made an acrobatic maneuver at an altitude that did not allow him to fully recover the plane before it hit the ground at the Barnes County Municipal Airport.
The NTSB found no sign of mechanical problems, although investigators said the extent of the damage didn't allow for a complete exam of the flight control system.
Odegaard, 66, of Kindred, was a longtime pilot who owned an aerial spraying business and who rebuilt planes.
The NTSB conclusion surprised Dick Walstad and retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Darrol Schroeder, friends of Odegaard who worked with him and Gerald Beck to establish the Fargo Air Museum and AirSho.
"Bob was a very experienced, very talented pilot and had performed maneuvers of this kind many, many times before," Walstad said.
The Fargo Air Museum is building an aircraft hangar addition named in honor of Odegaard and Beck, of Wahpeton, who died in 2007 when his P-51 crashed at an air show in Oshkosh, Wis.

Evan Lysacek's Feelings Are Hurt (We'll Comfort Him)
U.S. Olympic gold medal figure-skating hottie, Evan Lysacek, went on "Larry King" last night where he was asked about some of the controversy surrounding his rival, Russian silver medalist Evgeni Plushenko. Plushenko, you might have heard, has complained that he was robbed of the gold medal (because he landed a quadruple jump, which Lysacek didn't even attempt) and has taken to his official website where he designed and awarded himself a pretend platinum medal for his Vancouver performance. Asked how he felt about this disrespectful behavior from someone he considers a "hero," Lysacek replied: "It just stings a bit. And I've tried really hard to not feel like it's a personal attack, but it's starting to feel that way. And coming from a stranger, it wouldn't bother me, but coming from somebody I really look up to … " Aww, come here, Evan. I'll be happy to make you feel better! Clip above. [via New York Magazine]

2-3 foot and a bit sloppy wind swell, with occasional 4-5 foot sets, too far and few between. Pic, body boarder ripping up a set wave. Better over by the tower as tide was too high at 2 pm. Some waves to be had for the desperate and patient.

Facts and Events
The following is taken from Chapter 5 of Source:Albright, 1909
Late in the autumn of 1760 a strange craft appeared on the Cumberland just below French Lick. With a single sail fluttering from a low mask it was creeping up with noiseless motion along the western bank of the river. On deck stood a tall, athletic man with broad shoulders, long arms, and an eagle eye. Over his face was an expression of daring and adventure. He was clothed in a blue cotton hunting shirt with a red waistcoat, and leggins of deer skin, and on his head he wore a fox-skin cap with the tail hanging down his back. With him were several companions. The craft proved to be a French trading boat heavily ladened with wares and merchandise, and the strangely attired individual in command was Timothy Demonbreun, a French soldier who had come to establish a post in the Wilderness, as the Cumberland country was then called.

FORT HOOD — In taking the colors of Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, Col. Patricia Darnauer took command of an organization preparing for some drastic changes.
Darnauer accepted the role of commander of the Fort Hood medical center Friday morning in front of the main hospital entrance. Under her two years of leadership, the hospital will begin the early stages of moving into a new $500 million facility currently under construction.
"My goal is to refine and hard-wire the processes you have already established so that in 2015 as we transition to that new state-of-the-art hospital rising across the parking lot, we will continue to provide great care to our warriors, veterans and family members," she said.
Starting next month, Darnauer will lead Darnall, which averages 5,180 patients a day and operates more than 70 facilities, through a civilian employee furlough.
"I commit to keeping you informed and to mitigate any fiscal, sequestration and administrative challenges that serve as distractors to performing our primary mission," she said.
The last time Darnauer was stationed at Darnall, the medical center was simply a community hospital.
"Two weeks ago I returned ... and witnessed this organization's terrific performance as the Joint Commission again fully accredited our health system," Darnauer said. "I couldn't have asked for a better welcome than to observe as the (Darnall) team excelled under the pressures of this external review."
Leading the hospital through the inspection was interim commander, Col. Roger Gallup, deputy commander of clinical services, who stepped up in April after Brig. Gen. Patrick Sargent moved on.
"It's really a reflection of the hard work and continual preparedness (of the staff)," Gallup said of the accreditation. "Civilians play a big part of that as well."
Darnauer thanked Gallup for his work and said she looks forward to working with him.
"Your professionalism and calm demeanor created the environment that contributes significantly to (Darnall's) recent successes," she said.

Penguins veteran goaltender Vokoun all ready to resume skating
It's the first of many steps for Tomas Vokoun. But it's a big one.
Vokoun, the Penguins goaltender who has been out for four months because of a blood clot in his pelvis, will skate Wednesday morning at Consol Energy Center.
While coach Dan Bylsma cautioned that Vokoun hasn't been cleared to absorb shots and isn't close to a return to the lineup — Vokoun, in fact, acknowledged in November that he has contemplated retirement because of the condition — the 37-year-old clearly wants to return to the NHL at some point, perhaps as early as this season.
Vokoun, who also battled a blood clot in 2006, no longer requires blood thinners. The original prognosis called for Vokoun to miss between three and six months because of the injury. In September, he suggested that the three-month projection was "the absolute minimum."
Bylsma, 15 hours removed from a blowout loss at home against Florida, was pleased to deliver some good news, even though his tone was cautious.
"It's really encouraging for Tomas," Bylsma said. "It's been a long road. To be able to get on the ice with the possibility of being able to take some shots at some point after the doctor gives him the OK — it's just another step. It's just a step. Just a first step. He's got a long road ahead of him."
Bylsma said that Vokoun has been off blood thinners for approximately one week. When his blood levels return to normal, the goaltender should be able to face shots in a practice setting.
"Tomas has been in Pittsburgh a couple of times as recently as last week," Bylsma said. "He looks good. He feels good. He said he hasn't felt this good in a couple of years. Some aches and pains and ailments have gone away."
Goaltender Jeff Zatkoff has replaced Vokoun as Marc-Andre Fleury's backup and has performed well, producing a 7-2-1 record.
Vokoun's presence is something the Penguins would love to have in the postseason. He has won 300 career games and quickly became a leader in his first season with the Penguins.
Even before his stellar work in the postseason bailed the Penguins out against the New York Islanders and ultimately guided them to the Eastern Conference final, Vokoun had emerged as an important man.
His record during his first season with the Penguins was 13-4. Vokoun also became a vocal leader in what often is described as a quiet locker room.
Following a dismal opening period in Philadelphia last March, it was Vokoun who stood up and chastised his team with thoughtful but strong words.
His teammates listened, and many credited his speech with propelling them to a 15-game winning streak.
The presence of another NHL goaltender could also lighten Fleury's workload. He is on pace to play in 67 games this season, which would match the career-high he set during the 2011-12 season. Fleury imploded against Philadelphia in the first round of the playoffs in that season, and many in the Penguins organization believe the goaltender was exhausted, which is largely why Vokoun was acquired two months later.
Bylsma combined caution with quiet optimism Tuesday.
"Very much so," Bylsma said when asked if he was cautious about Vokoun's return. "It's a step. There are a few more steps before you get close to any timetable (of a return)."
Vokoun will see a doctor following his skating session Wednesday morning. The Penguins have not ruled out that he could play again this season.
"Hopefully, he'll be able to move forward," Bylsma said. "He was really excited about the possibility of getting the news, possibly getting on the ice, and possibly getting in the net in the future."

Q. I am a process engineer for an electronics equipment supplier. We are presently outsourcing the production of some of our parts, but I would like to replace a current process of zinc plating with a zinc paint process on a steel chassis and bring its production in-house. Is this possible? We have both a paint line and powder line in-house. Also, can zinc paint be powder coated afterwards? Do you have any recommendations for a zinc paint? M.M.
A. In many cases, a zinc-rich primer can provide protection equivalent to zinc plating on steel. There are essentially two basic choices for a zinc-rich coating: a zinc silicate, which has an inorganic binder and is usually applied to shot- or sand-blasted steel; and an organic zinc-rich primer, which typically has an epoxy resin binder. Both can be recoated with powder coatings. Of the two, you should consider using the organic zinc-rich primer. The zinc silicate primer is usually applied to structural steel at a building site.
Your present paint supplier should be able to provide you with an organic zinc-rich primer, or look for suppliers on PFonline.com.

WWDC 2013 Tickets Available Now
Yesterday Apple announced their annual WorldWide Developer Conference (WWDC 2013) will be in San Francisco from June 10 through to June 14. Tickets for WWDC 2013 have just this second gone on sale for $1,599 USD via Apple's website and if last year is to go by they will not last long.
At WWDC 2013 Apple is expected to talk about both the next generation Mac operating system (10.9) and also the next version of iOS (iOS 7).
Apple was kind enough this year to give developers an early warning as to when they will release the tickets in to the wild unlike 2012 when Apple released WWDC 2012 tickets at 5.30 a.m PDT.

An 18-year-old man was injured Wednesday as he and a female hiking companion fled from a mountain lion on a trail at Catalina State Park north of Tucson, wildlife officials said.
"The lion did not attack them," said Mark Hart, spokesman for the Arizona Game and Fish Department. "But they felt threatened by the animal's action and felt they needed to leave the area posthaste. The man slipped and fell down a slope as they were leaving the area quickly."
Hart said the man sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the fall and was taken to a hospital for treatment. He declined to identify the two hikers by name and wasn't certain of where the man was hospitalized.
The incident took place around 7:30 a.m. at Romero Pools on the Romero Canyon Trail in the park, Hart said.
"As they came up to Romero Pools, they observed a mountain lion watching them from about 25 feet away," he said. "They started to back up and walk away after they snapped a photo of the lion. As they were moving away, it moved closer to them" — prompting their hurried escape and the man's fall.

Is there such a thing as a balanced life/work?
As an internet marketing consultant I find it more and more difficult to disconnect from the constantly connected lifestyle I have chosen. Soren Gordhamer the organizer of the Wisdom 2.0 Conference brings up an important question to ask yourself: Are you going to be constantly overwhelmed by "Stress 2.0," or can you successfully translate this lifestyle into "Wisdom 2.0?"
The challenge is finding a balance, and living a healthy and rich life both online and off.
A post this morning by Mitch Joel points out that: Life balance is a three-legged stool.
Just like a stool, if you remove one of the legs or when one is shorter than another, everything comes crashing down. Figure out ways to find true balance without sacrificing where you're at, where you're looking to go and your plans to get there. Make sure that your goals (short-term and long-term) include tactics around personal, business and community.
Make rules.
If you don't have rules about your life balance, all is (and will be) lost. Don't have guidelines. Make rules… and don't break them. Here are just some of my life balance rules (in no particular order):
- Family first. Period. No exceptions. Friends next. Everything else after that.
- Go to bed when I'm tired.
- Wake up without an alarm.
- Don't stress over sleep. My body will sleep when it needs to.
- Constantly be reading.
- Creativity and great ideas do not keep office hours. Write as much as possible – especially when the mood hits.
- I manage my technology. I do not let technology manage me. An example of this? I check email when I want to – not when it comes in. I turn off all email notifications (both online and mobile).
- Don't focus on the money. Focus on building wealth and what I'll do to change the world once I get there (or along the way).
- Never eat alone.
My rules look more like this:
- Take time to disconnect
- Breathe
- Eat healthy when you can
- Exercise
My Conclusion:
- Focus more on these Social Networking Time Management Tips and
- Learn to surf – "You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn to surf."
What are your tips for dealing with the stresses of social media and being constantly connected?

Subclinical HyperthyroidismSkip to the navigation
Current as of: July 28, 2016
Author: Healthwise Staff
Medical Review: E. Gregory Thompson, MD - Internal Medicine & David C.W. Lau, MD, PhD, FRCPC - Endocrinology
You may have a very mild form of hyperthyroidism called subclinical hyperthyroidism if your thyroid tests show that:
Subclinical hyperthyroidism is different from hyperthyroidism. Your TSH levels are low but your thyroid hormone levels are normal.
If you have subclinical hyperthyroidism, you may have no symptoms at all. Or you may lose weight or feel anxious.
People with subclinical hyperthyroidism may also develop some of the more serious problems related to hyperthyroidism such as heart and bone problems. But experts do not know whether the benefits of treating subclinical hyperthyroidism outweigh the risks. For this reason, if you have subclinical hyperthyroidism, your doctor may just watch you closely.

I moved to Austin from Houston, so I didn't think I'd get to watch the return of Steve Francis tonight........until now (apparently without T-Mac).
If you watch it you will get hooked. I have had league pass for so long I cant remember what it was like not to have it.
It had always sounded nice, but I really got hooked after my sister switched to satellite shortly before last year's free week, where I got to sit there one night and experience it. I was hooked.Quote:

I'm going to order the rest of the season for the mid-season rate of $109. I was just getting ready to order it for the whole year when the brawl happened, and I wasn't too excited about watching the Pacers for a couple of weeks, even though they were playing well at first. I guess I was just pissed off that the whole thing happened. So I figured I'd wait until the price came down. It's great though. Watched Heat/Sixers, Cavs/Wizards, and Spurs/Blazers last night. Weird that all the underdog teams won last night, seems like it anyway. Only bad thing is that living in Ohio, the Cavs and LeBron are blacked out most of the time, unless they happen to be on FSN Ohio, which is only about once every 3 or 4 games seems like.
if you also get the sports pack you should gets the rest of the Cavs games. Once the playoffs start cancell the sports pack.
I can just imagine the ol' Ball-and-Chains reaction if I paid for nothing but NBA bball.
I hear it all the time now....What? Another game? (What is Everwood on again??) Is that all you do? (Is that all you do?) You didn't watch sports like this when we were dating!!! (You didn't nag like this either) You used to have fun with the family! (you used to...no we won't go there) We never see you anymore (damn lucky ain't you??)
J/K....but then again
Nope, it's Time Warner Cable, not Dish or Directv. If I had a dish I wouldn't need the league pass to watch the Pacers. I'd just have to have the sports pack because the Pacers claim my territory as well. (I live 2 miles from the Ohio/Indiana line, on the Ohio side, but I grew up in Cambridge City, which is near New Castle) The blackout rules are different for cable and satellite, apparently. Since there's no other way to get the Pacers (because there is no sports pack with cable) they don't black them out on the league pass. I think. Or something like that. :DQuote:

Yes, our sports bars like to show 24/7 coverage of the NHL Lockout...even if there is a game on (which is rare). So watching 5 hockey analysts sitting down at a table, ON MUTE is better than watching a basketball game.Quote:

General News of Thursday, 15 November 2012
Source: myjoyonline
A press conference to launch a disaster fund in the wake of the Melcom disaster turned dramatic when an official of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) was arrested in the full glare of the public.
Christian Ababio is alleged to have been compromised by a private developer who was putting up an eight-storey building without permit.
According to the AMA boss Alfred Oko Vanderpuije, the building has reached the sixth floor and yet the developer has no permission from the AMA to put the structure.
He said investigations into the matter revealed that Mr Ababio, a building inspector at the AMA who was expected to ensure that a permit is issued before the building is put up had turned himself into an agent of the developer and helped him to breach laid down procedures by starting the project without a permit.
In the middle of a press conference to announce the Melcom Disaster Fund initiated by the AMA to assist victims of the November 7, 2012 disaster, Oko Vanderpuye called out Chirstian Ababio who was present at the conference and directed the police to arrest him right there.
Joy News' Manasseh Azuri who was present at the conference said the suspect was picked up in the full glare of the public.
On the disaster fund, Azuri said the AMA made an initial deposit of 30,000 cedis with Zoomlion also contributing 10,000 cedis.
The funds raised will be given to the victims of the disaster.
Fourteen people were confirmed dead with over 70 others sustaining varying degrees of injury when the Melcom shopping mall in Achimota collapsed.

Rochester, NH
I'm an old school taxi driver. I charge $4.00 for the first mile and $1.75 for every mile after that. As far as time goes, it's $0.25 a minute, but only if it's a store-type stop. I don't believe in charging different rates for different areas.
Medical rates are different. I charge $4.00 for the first mile and $1.50 per mile after that. I'm still a small company right now, having two taxis. I service Rochester, East Rochester and Gonic.
My company prides itself on being honest, true and dependable. Any one who has ever rode in my taxi become a Frank's Taxi fan. I don't do trips to Logan and such; I believe that local people who need to get to the doctor or work are far more important.
