The Impact
Risks & Challenges
With Pittsburgh growing so rapidly with new businesses and residents it is hard to keep up with all the new exciting things going on.
It is always difficult to see the potential in a redeveloping neighborhood at first. The thing that some people don't know is the large amount of effort being put in by passionate individuals from all over the city. These people have put in countless hours to make sure that this is a risk worth taking. We are very fortunate to have met these people who have given us their hand and dramatically assisted us on this journey.
From the SBDC business classes we took at the University of Pittsburgh provided by the SBA, City Council meetings hosted by the URA, events we have attended to help get the word out about Allentown and so much more.
The Hilltop Alliance, The Hardware Store and Sweet Peaches have made this possible for us to get this far and we owe them our undying gratitude.
Thank you Zeke's Coffee for working with us and letting us spread your roasted goodness in another area in Pittsburgh!
Thank you to all the businesses in Allentown and the people who are supporting them like RE360, Leon's, On the Skids and so many more!
Thank you, all of you!

Glitches, 'flash crashes,' other problems becoming too numerous
"Why is this happening?"
Those words were undoubtedly spoken on Wall Street last Thursday. Perhaps you uttered them, too. At 11:14 p.m. CST, a glitch halted all trading on the NASDAQ for more than three hours. During that time, the New York Stock Exchange suspended trading in all NASDAQ securities and scratched orders; NASDAQ decided not to cancel any open orders on book.1,2
Reaction to the interruption was hot and swift. An exasperated Dennis Gartman, publisher of The Gartman Letter, called the snafu "an embarrassment to the entire financial community" and likened it to the customer service nightmares associated with multi-hour flight delays.
"I'd rather have a slower trade execution with data integrity than this kind of repeated nonsense," LandColt Capital LP managing partner Todd M. Schoenberger told FOX Business.1,3
All in all, the Street coped pretty well with last Thursday's outage, another side effect of high-speed, computer-driven trading. The NASDAQ wrapped up the market day 39 points higher and the Dow and S&P 500 respectively gained 66 and 14 points. Still, the "flash freeze" marked another headache for institutional and retail investors.1,4
Lately, those headaches have been more numerous. We can't forget the "flash crash" of May 2010, which contributed to a 348-point single-day loss for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Last year brought the botched Facebook and BATS IPOs (with shares severely hurt as a consequence) and the software debacle that ruined the reputation of Knight Capital, a risk manager that once handled orders from E-Trade and TD Ameritrade. It was taken over by another firm this year after flirting with bankruptcy. Just this spring, the Chicago Board Options Exchange lost a morning of activity due to a software issue.2
The NASDAQ has been affected by some particularly weird hiccups. Remember the stray squirrel incidents of 1987 and 1994? In each case, a small rodent in suburban Connecticut triggered a power outage that disrupted a mighty New York stock exchange.5
This time, it appears the NASDAQ's legacy trading system was at fault. What does "legacy" signify? Well, just like the NYSE, the NASDAQ uses trading system software that is built on older versions of said software. So it must be smoothly compatible with those older versions of the in-house application(s) and interface predictably with software used by other exchanges and trading platforms. Each upgrade to legacy software has the potential for a new wave of glitches. Shortly after noon on Aug. 22, NASDAQ's Security Information Processor, or SIP, network went on the fritz — and that is the network that dispenses quotes and trades. With its SIP out of commission, NASDAQ had no way to distribute pricing to retail traders (and everyone else).6
None of these recent interruptions have matched Black Monday — Oct. 19, 1987, when runaway computerized trading helped the Dow drop nearly 22 percent in one trading day — but they have market observers pleading for improved trading technologies.7
So how quickly can we put these problems in the past? Don't hold your breath. The SEC has called for uniform technology standards for all U.S. financial exchanges via its Reg SCI proposal, but that hasn't gotten much traction. There are 13 different exchanges out there now, and as the downturn hit Wall Street with layoffs, exchanges and brokerages have comparatively fewer IT pros servicing them than they once did.6
Decades ago, movies, TV shows and sci-fi novels repeatedly cautioned us that no matter how wonderful computers were, they would never, ever, ever be able to replace humanity. You could argue that this was the messaging of a more innocent time, but the claim sounds as relevant as ever today, when Wall Street endures moments of paralysis as mind-blowingly sophisticated technologies rebel. Is there any way to preserve a human touch?
As Doreen Mogavero, CEO of Mogavero, Lee & Co. commented to FOX Business: "The New York Stock Exchange has the right model. Human beings and technology. The NYSE management has refused to give up the human element on the floor for just this reason … regulators have to begin to realize that the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of machines and they need to reevaluate the way they think of the market. They should follow the model that the NYSE has created."3
Patience is a virtue, and during these instances on Wall Street, patience is certainly required. As Georgetown University finance professor James Angel told the Associated Press, "I think people are (used) to the fact that every once in a while the power goes out and a computer crashes. As long as the trading is fair and orderly, I don't think that's going to deter people from investing."2

Synopsis: One day, Trent is minding his own business relaxing at home when he spies the neighbor's kid talking to a doghouse and soon discovers that the neighbors may be harboring illegal aliens [of the cosmic variety] and not only that – Daisy seems to have an extra alien stashed in her lab – what could all this mean to the Gaslamp District of San Diego?
Details: Trent's neighbor Beth [Michaela Watkins – "Saturday Night Live"] is recently divorced and looking for love in all the wrong places and her son Billy is harboring an illegal alien in his doghouse. Not one of those illegal aliens from Tijuana but one of those from another solar system that looks sorta like a third-grader's interpretation of what "ALF" used to look like. This alien's name is Paxton and he came to Earth with a female alien companion named Lilly who went missing shortly after they landed and somehow ended up in Daisy's lab at NTSF:SD:SUV headquarters while Paxton wound up in little Billy's doghouse.
Through his window one night, Trent spies Billy talking to Paxton and immediately comes to the conclusion that Billy is smuggling illegal aliens into San Diego. Trent grills Billy in the NTSF interrogation room where Billy claims Paxton is his friend but Trent concludes that Paxton is a foreigner and, hence, a terrorist who he plans to entrap by dressing up as a bottle of ketchup for a daytime Halloween celebration [apparently a San Diego-only phenomenon]. Meanwhile Daisy is harboring/torturing the female alien, Lilly, in her lab in an effort to maintain a friend and periodically subduing Lilly with drugs to keep her from escaping. Despite a brazen non-high speed Segway escape attempt, Trent captures Paxton during the Halloween celebration and brings him in to the lab where the two aliens reunite only to have Trent seemingly kill Paxton when his finger alights unexpectedly.
Lilly, however, heals Paxton and the pair then destroy the Gaslamp District as they take over San Diego and the episode ends with an eponymous e-cigarette guy suggesting that everybody is an alien…
The Poop and Skinny: Do aliens like wine coolers? A legitimate question.
Sam majored in paranormal studies at Sarah Lawrence College [a small, formerly women-only liberal arts school located in New York state that became coed in 1968].
"Aliens were made up by Gene Roddenberry for indoor kids." [Kove – Kate Mulgrew – in assessing the child terrorist alien threat].
"Child terrorists are the worst kind. No morals. Fueled by candy and movies on their iPad." [also Kove]
NTSF:SD:SUV opening disclaimer – "Tonight's episode of "NTSF:SD:SUV" is presented in a foreign language – if your foreign language happens to be English.
The episode makes pop cultural scene references to "ALF" [Paxton], "E.T – The Extraterrestrial" and "X-Files" [e-cigarette smoking guy].
In the Adult Swim weekly lineup, "NTSF:SD:SUV" appears directly after "Childrens Hospital" – this week's CH episode featured a character supposedly trapped in a time loop [based on the popular "Groundhog Day" film starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell] and was followed by this episode featuring Andie MacDowell lookalike Watkins in the lead guest role. A result of a possible combination time worm loop hole and some bad sour cream?

Ever since I first pinned this recipe, I have been telling Nate that I want to buy coconut oil. Coconut oil is a little bit expensive so I had to really want it, you know, 8 dollars, but its a pretty big container of it, but I only used 1/4 cup in this recipe. So what else am I going to do with this coconut oil? Of course this homemade hard shell is so amazing I'll definitely be making this one again and again. But readers, I'm asking you… what else should I do with my coconut oil? I know its pretty healthy for us. Do you have any recipe suggestions?
So, if you have coconut oil lying around your house (and maybe even if you don't, you should make this recipe). Its so simple. Like 2 steps. And its so good. (Ps. in the future I'm gonna try other flavors of this with different chocolate chip flavors).
Chocolate Magic Shell:
8 oz chocolate chips (about 1 1/2 cups), milk or semi sweet
1/4 cup (4 TBS) coconut oil
1. Put both ingredients in a small microwave safe bowl.
2. Heat in microwave for 1 minute. Stir. If chocolate chips are not completely melted, heat in 15 second increments, stirring in between until melted. **
3. Pour over your ice cream. Let sit about 15 seconds.
** Will be very runny.
Store in a microwave safe jar or bottle, in the fridge. To reheat put jar in the microwave and repeat step 2. Until runny again.

- Flat Character: Though she gets a little development in the second character drama.
- Lady of War: She uses graceful 'katana' or 'shuriken' styles, and maintains an air of cool, detached competency throughout the entire story.
- Living Prop: If she was replaced with a random soldier during her introduction, the story really wouldn't be affected.

This didn't quite work out, as it runs out approximately every 150 years. He makes more Kan by starting a war with a clone of himself.
Igton PinA member of the Avis race, who takes delight in spamming the people of Lanzheim through their Cube Mail with educational emails. He gets kidnapped by the Northern Forces and rescued by the Counter-Sentinel Unit later on in the game, when he helps them out.

She is killed by Elgar very early on, leading to Juto joining the Counter-Sentinel Unit to avenge her. She is not actually killed, but turned into a Sentinel and joins the Northern Forces.

This article details how to install, configure the home directory, and license PGP Command Line on Windows.
Installing on Windows
This section tells you how to install, change the home directory, and uninstall on Windows.
Using PGP Command Line and PGP Desktop on the same system
PGP Command Line and PGP Desktop can be installed on the same system at the same time.
To use PGP Command Line and PGP Desktop for Windows on the same 64-bit system, you must use the 64-bit version of PGP Desktop and the 32-bit version of PGP Command Line. This ensures compatible versions of the PGP SDK are used. The PGP SDK for the 64-bit version of PGP Command Line includes functionality that makes it incompatible with PGP Desktop for Windows.
To Install on Windows
To install PGP Command Line onto a Windows system:
1 Close all Windows applications.
2 Download the installer application, PGPCommandLine101Win.zip, to a known location on your system.
3 Unzip the file PGPCommandLine101Win.zip. You will get the following file: PGPCommandLine101Win.msi.
4 Double click on PGPCommandLine101Win.msi.
5 Follow the on-screen instructions.
6 If prompted, restart your machine. A restart is needed only if other PGP products are also installed on the same machine. The Windows PGP Command Line application, pgp.exe, is installed into:
C:\Program Files\PGP Corporation\PGP Command Line\
After you run PGP Command Line for the first time, its home directory will be created automatically in the user's home directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\PGP\
Application data is stored in the directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\PGP Corporation\PGP
Locations may be different for the different Windows versions.
Changing the Home Directory on Windows
The home directory is where PGP Command Line stores its keyring files. If a different PGP product has already created this directory, PGP Command Line will also use it (thus, PGP Command Line can automatically use existing PGP
PGP Command Line data files, such as keys, are stored in the home directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\PGP\
PGP Command Line application files, such as the configuration file PGPprefs.xml, are stored in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\PGP Corporation\PGP\
If you want the home directory changed on a permanent basis, you need to create the PGP_HOME_DIR environment variable and specify the path of the desired home directory.
To create the PGP_HOME_DIR environment variable on a Windows system:
1 Click Start, select Settings, select Control Panel, and then select System. The System Properties dialog appears.
2 Select the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables. The Environment Variables screen appears.
3 In the User Variables section, click New.
4 In the Variable name field, enter PGP_HOME_DIR. In the Variable value field, enter the path of the home directory you want to use. For example:
5 Click OK.
The Environment Variables screen reappears. PGP_HOME_DIR appears in the list of user variables.
Authorizing a PGP Command Line License
If you have a license number and a working Internet connection, you can license
your copy of PGP Command Line.
Use --license-authorize to license PGP Command Line.
The following options are required:
--license-name <Name>
Where <Name> is your name or a descriptive name.
--license-organization <Org> Where <Org> is the name of your company.
--license-number <Number> Where <Number> is a valid license number.
The following option is not required but is recommended:
--license-email <EmailAddress>
Where <EmailAddress> is a valid email address, generally the email address of the PGP Command Line administrator.
For example:
pgp --license-authorize --license-name "Alice Cameron"
--license-organization "Example Corporation"
--license-number "aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee-fff"
--license-email "email@example.com"
(When entering this text, it all goes on a single line.)
In version 10.3.2 MP8 the command to license PGP Command line was simplified, see TECH232667.
You only insert the license number, no name, organization or e-mail address.
Example: " pgp --license-authorize --license-number "aaaaa-bbbbb-ccccc-ddddd-eeeee

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link recommend Whole Foods Market (WFM) as a "buy" now that the stock has pulled back to less than $50.
The stock was at $8 in the 2007-2008 period but peaked at more than $70 since then. Cramer points out that the Whole Foods' guidance for comparable-store sales in stores open at least a year was lower than expected in its latest quarterly report, but the figures still surpassed all other peer companies except Chipotle (CMG).
Cramer also points out concerns with Whole Foods' competition, such as Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM). He calls this company "very good" but "small format" and also notes The Fresh Market (TFM) and Fairway (FWM) are declining. He believes the real competition is Kroger (KR), which "can be beaten."
Finally, Cramer says contends that Whole Foods is at the beginning of expanding to more than 1,000 stores.
Must Watch: Cramer & Link Are Buying Whole Foods Market Below $50
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates WHOLE FOODS MARKET INC as a "buy" with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate WHOLE FOODS MARKET INC (WFM) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, growth in earnings per share, increase in net income and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company is trading at a premium valuation based on our review of its current price compared to such things as earnings and book value."

" Genre: Puzzle / Video Game for Nintendo Wii / To Be Announced / Release Date: 2011-03-04 / Published by THQ "
* Prices may differ from that shown
For my son's birthday in May my brother bought him a uDraw tablet for the wii as it was something that we thought he would enjoy and so I decided to buy him a couple of games to go with it. One of the games I bought was Pictionary which I thought would be enjoyed by my son but also by myself and friends when they call round.
The Pictionary game comes in a standard looking wii box but on the top left there is the uDraw logo and you are also told that it requires the uDraw tablet which is sold separately so there is no danger of you getting it home and then realising you can't play it because you don't have the tablet! The game is suitable for players aged three plus apparently but I don't think this is entirely accurate-yes a three year old could go on the free draw function of the game but they wouldn't be able to read the name of the thing they were meant to be drawing for the other person in their team for starters. I think my son at age seven is around the right age for a child to attempt playing this game.
The game is loaded in the same way as any other wii game and once you click on the Pictionary logo on the main wii menu you should slot your wii remote in to the slot in the uDraw tablet. I would advise that you are best to take off the wrist strap for the best fit in the tablet but it will slide in rather awkwardly should you not want to mess around with taking the wrist strap on and off and this is what I prefer to do now. You should use the stylus on the uDraw to select the language you are playing in and then decide on how many teams will be playing and choose them a colour each from the four available. Technically speaking you do really need four players to play this game in teams and accurately but to be honest my son and I often set up a game and just take it in turns at drawing and guessing which is obviously the fun part of the game anyway so there are ways around not having four people to play at all times. You also have the option as you set up the game of playing the full game, a shorter version or the shortest version. The full game does take quite some time to work through and you would be looking at an hour at the least and so if it is my son and I playing we tend to opt for one of the other ones but if I were playing with just adults the full game would be the best option.
Once you have set up the game players from each team must take it in turns to flick the stylus across the uDraw screen to roll the die with the highest number being the team to go first. Once they have done this they will land on a square and will have to choose either an adult or a junior clue. If my son is playing we always opt for the junior one as the topics are things such as vegetables or things on holiday which a child is more likely to be able to draw as well as guess but if it is just adults playing we will opt for the more difficult adult clues which can be incredibly random and sometimes impossible to draw! You can choose to skip to another item should you wish to but we try to limit this for the fun of the game! Some squares on the game board are all play squares and so all players can try and take control of the game here by guessing what has been drawn before anyone else.
Drawing with the stylus isn't really difficult to be honest but initially we all found it a little strange and I think that we have probably all got better at using it since we first tried it in May. You simply press the stylus on the screen of the uDraw and draw whatever it is you are meant to and in turn it appears on the television screen for the people in your team to guess! The picture appears colourful and bright on the television screen and I was impressed in general with the brightness of the graphics. There are buttons which appear when you are drawing for you to change the colour, thickness of the pencil or other implement you are using as well as a standard shape drawing function, rubber and paint pot for filling in larger areas with colour so it is quite fun to see how inventive you can be with the drawing but sometimes with the paint pot it goes all wrong and colours the full screen in instead of a smaller area which can be very frustrating!
If a player guesses what you are drawing within the timer on the screen then you should press the A button on the wii remote and then confirm they got it right using the stylus. This is my main issue with this game as there seems to be a lot of faffing around when really all you want to do is draw and guess! Moving around the board seems to take forever as the "commentator" notes who is in front or how far around the board you have progressed! If this was cut out the game would be much smoother and fast to play I feel.
The main game of Pictionary is the one that we tend to go on the most because it is the easiest way to play the game especially when my son is playing too. However there is also an option called Pictionary mania on there which is something that my sister and I will play! In Pictionary mania there is no distinction between adult and junior clues and instead there are new categories which you must follow. In this section you may have to draw your clue without taking the stylus off the screen of the uDraw, or by only using straight lines, or as the page constantly rotates on the screen as you are drawing as just a few examples! This game is much more frustrating as it is so hard drawing as the screen moves and sometimes you don't even realise you have lifted the stylus off the screen when all of a sudden it stops you drawing! This is a fun game for adults though, no matter how frustrating!
As you work your way around the game boards on the screen there are various frames dotted around which feature the pictures that you have drawn in your game and we always giggle as we see these as some of them can be really funny! At the end of the game all of the pictures are flashed across the screen again and it is always a good laugh to watch all of these again!
What I do like about this game is that it is straight forward to play and despite the regular faffing with clicking to confirm if someone has got an answer right or something we have never had to look to the instruction manual to work out how to play the game which is always a bonus for me because I soon get put off if something is difficult to understand. Pictionary for the wii is just £9.77 on amazon at the moment and I would recommend it as a good family game which is interactive as well as being fun! Of course you do need the uDraw tablet as well but this isn't badly priced on amazon at the moment either at £18.99 and so I think it is a worthwhile purchase and certainly with Christmas coming up would make a good game!
Thank you for reading my review!

We've got two new Dolmenwood publications appearing soon on RPGNow that I'm pretty excited about. On one hand, there's the first official Dolmenwood module, The Weird That Befell Drigbolton. It will be available in PDF and both soft- and hardcover deadtree versions. Gavin Norman -- the Wood's co-creator -- took our initial creative jam session notes for this bizarre adventure and ran with them here. Andrew Walter's quixotic visions are poured on generously whilst Kelvin Green provides detailed floor plans and cartography. I could not be more pleased. Those readers keen on obtaining more Dolmenwood esoterica will definitely find it in Drigbolton.
NEXT, there's a PDF-only gloss called Welcome to Dolmenwood that succinctly covers all the entry-level D-wood concerns, such as player character races, major power groups, important locales, etc.

POLLOCK: Bills take a step back in loss to Lions
POLLOCK: Marinelli got away with a dubious call
An ugly game all around. The defense was equally bad against the run and the pass, as both Kevin Jones (23 carries-127 yards) and Roy Williams (10 catches-161 yards) notched their season highs in the Lions' first win of the year.
By the time the Bills finally made it past midfield on the final play of the first quarter, the hometown team had taken advantage of drive-starts at their own 49 and the Buffalo 24 to build a 10-0 lead. J.P. Losman's 44-yard strike to Roscoe Parrish cut the lead to three; the two teams spent most of the rest of the quarter trading punts before Detroit quarterback Jon Kitna capped off an efficient two-minute drill by finding Williams for a 28-yard touchdown with 0:40 remaining in the half. Terrence McGee found a seam on the ensuing kickoff, taking the ball all the way to the Detroit 23 and setting up Rian Lindell's 53-yard field goal to make the score 17-10 at the break.
Following another Jason Hanson field goal early in the fourth quarter, the Bills countered with Losman's 4-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Neufeld. A Ko Simpson interception gave the offense one more shot, but they couldn't get past their own 40-yard line before the drive stalled. Detroit burned most of the remaining time off the clock before giving the ball back, and any hopes for a last-play miracle ended with the ball cradled in Lions defensive end Kalimba Edwards' arms as time ran out.
Losman finished 21-for-34 for 207 yards and two touchdowns, but also took five sacks and turned the ball over twice while running for his life most of the afternoon. This game, and the beatdown by New England the following week, provided more than enough reason for the Buffalo coaching staff to overhaul the offensive line during the bye week.

Late Night: More Cowbell! Erm, I Meant 'Fluffy White Couch Dogs'!
Woof arf arf arf! Phoenix here tonight, with only one thing to say (and it's not "This piece needs more cowbell"): Have some more Fluffy White Couch Dogs!
Here they are, on Christmas Eve, looking ever so deceptively angelic, taking a break from hitting up their human mom for treats.
Relax, unwind, and tell us what's on your mind. If you want to give the doggies a good brushing, the wire slicker brushes are kept in the mud room between the garage and the kitchen. (They love brushings almost as much as they love baths — at least the drying-off part — though not quite as much as they like treats.)
Oh, and if you really want some cowbell, it's here.

Thing Statistics
Crystalux is a light composed of crystal-shaped modules, which can be connected with each other via magnetic joints. A battery provides the electricity, the magnets lead the current through the structure. Each module can be attached in six different angles, which allows a wide range of possible sculptures. When connected, the modules illuminate from whithin.
You need:
- white filament for 3D-Printer (colored filaments might be less translucent)
- acrylic glass (2mm thickness)
- 2m of thin electric cable
- 20 white LEDs
- 18 round magnets (diameter 4mm, height around 7mm)
- 18 round magnets (diameter 3mm, height around 6mm)
- 9 whashers (diameter 13/24 mm)
- thin foam rubber
- 1 coin battery (3V)
- superglue
the kit is supposed to include 10 modules. Four with parallel top and bottom surface, six with opposed top and bottom (two of them are the start and end modules)
the mantle is 3D-printed, the caps where the magnets and LEDs are sticked are composed of several pieces of plexiglass, cut by laser cutter.
If your printer closes the top or bottom, cut it open carefully (except at the start and end module) and use the smallest possible wall thickness to guarantee translucency.
Cut the pieces of plexiglass and glue them together as indicated in the file. Make sure the holes fit exactly, otherwise you won't be able to put the magnets afterwards. Now cut the cable into pieces of about 9 cm and strip them at each end.
Upper cap
As soon as the glue has dried, put the magnets, LED's and cables into the appropriate wholes. Make an attempt first and cut the wires of the LEDs at the right length. Important: Make sure that the positive pole of the LED is always in the centre of the cap, the negative pole you put at the outer hole. After plugging in magnet, LED and cable they should already hold quite tight. Put some glue into the hole, not too much, otherwise it will disturb the electric contact. All the magnets should be on the same level at the outer side of the cap, they should stick out about 1 millimeter.
The magnets have to be put always in the same direction (as far as the polarisation is concerned), so each module can be connected with any other one. It's ideal to put the bigger magnets with the positive pole upwards and the smaller with the negative pole upwards. The modules will centre on their own when being connected.
Lower cap
The piece which is surrounding the washer is quite fragile, so be careful. Put the magnet, LED and cables, then put a rubber ring and a washer in the track provided. Make sure about the electric contact and controle it from time to time, also at the upper cap. Finally put some glue to fix everything.
Finally put this object into the mantle and attach it with superglue. Use only little glue at the first module, which contains the battery, so you can open it again and power off the light. The first and last module are special anyway, take a look at the file.
There you go, connect the modules and hope there's no loose contact. To be honest I had to put some conductive paint on the magnets and washers, because the contact wasn't always ensured. Anyway: If this instruction sounded a bit complicated to you, that's quite how it was to develop this thing. So it's still more like a prototype than a finished product, that has still to be completed. By you maybe!?

I think you're right about Cozumel being the best port for snorkeling. You might want to do a little research on Chankanaab park. Your going to be in AWE when you board the Allure. My wife and I were on board the Allure last February and were totally in awe. We've been on about 70 Royal Caribbean cruises and we felt almost as it was our first cruise. It took us 3 days to find our way around. We're going on the Oasis in a week and we're really looking forward to it. There will be a lot of members responding to your post - I'm sure all of your questions will be answered.
Thanks for your reply Sonny. So far you are the only one I have heard from. I am hoping I get to hear from some others who have experience in these places. We did get a partial credit towards another cruise, so here we go. I am so excited about this trip. How in the world have you been on so many cruises? My daughter wants me to play the lottery so we can go on more trips..
Wouldn't that be nice! Anyway, happy cruising!

Is it normally this dusty? I bought some from Dive Lime the other day and filled my scrubber tonight with it. I was decanting it from the keg into the Acme Mod 1 Mk15 scrubber filling device...
Jeeeeeez, it was like I was being tear gassed! Big cloud of white smoke!
It'll be interesting to see how it performs compared to Sofnolime but I'm not overly taken by the first impression. I've rattled kegs of Sofnolime in the back of my truck for 1000 miles and never had it as dusty as this.
I'm just wondering how long I'll get before the Porex filters need a vinegar soak.

The US military on Saturday reported the deaths of eight American soldiers. One of those killed, a Marine, died in combat in Anbar province.
Elsewhere on Saturday, three U.S. soldiers were killed in Salahuddin Province, north of Baghdad, when an explosion hit their patrol; another died in a roadside bombing in south Baghdad.
Late Friday, a soldier was killed in an ambush near Taji, north of the capital, and two other soldiers were hit by a roadside bomb on Wednesday in eastern Baghdad, the military said.
As part of the U.S.-led security crackdown in Baghdad, American forces raided the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City early Saturday and captured a "suspected terrorist cell leader," who helped smuggle powerful, armor-piercing bombs from Iran, the U.S. military said in statement, cited by the AP. After the raid, around 2 a.m., U.S. and Iraqi forces called in air strikes on nine cars positioning themselves to attack American forces, killing five suspects, the military said.
An Iraqi police official said the strikes hit 10 cars in line to buy gasoline, killing three civilians and wounding eight others.

Yesterday POD Point launched the UK's first nationwide Pay As You Go network for electric vehicle charging.
The POD Point Pay As You Go (PP PAYG) network is free to join, has no monthly fee and only requires a refundable £10 balance for account activation.
The PP PAYG network will use SMS text to access charging points, and stop and start charging cycles, providing electric and hybrid vehicle drivers with what the company calls the first nationwide, card-less charging network.
The PP PAYG network is based on the Oyster PAYG model introduced by Transport for London, which provides seamless system allowing occasional passengers the same convenience as daily commuters, without the overhead of a monthly charge.
For POD Point CEO Erik Fairbairn, "the case for nationwide PAYG is strong. Most electric or hybrid vehicle owners use public charge points occasionally, in areas they don't visit every day – yet existing charging schemes are either regional, or charge a high monthly fee regardless of use. The PP PAYG network will deliver a nationwide charging network that makes economic sense for electric and hybrid vehicle owners to join – and charge point owners will benefit from increased use of their charging facilities."
The PP PAYG network will have over 750 charge bays by the end of the year, which should make it the largest UK public charge network. By the end of 2012 charging points belonging to Plugged in Places regions such as Source East and Plugged-in-Midlands networks will also be accessible via PP PAYG network.
Starting in 2013 all newly installed POD Point charge points will be on the network, increasing the number of charging points to over 4,000 by 2014.
Registration (either online or by phone) involves providing credit card and mobile phone details and loading a refundable balance of £10 onto the account. Drivers can charge their cars within minutes of registration. Billing will be to the credit card provided on registration, and drivers will be able to monitor their account through a secure online portal provided by the POD Point network.

Mid-Rise Apartment Houses Making New York Comeback
By ALAN FINDER
Published: November 23, 1990
Some developers and city planners think they have conceived an ingenious solution to New York City's housing shortage. It is a squat building, about six stories tall, with individual living units arrayed along a central corridor and an elevator connecting the floors and the street. It is called an apartment house.
Once the mainstay of New York's housing stock, framing broad boulevards like Ocean Parkway and the Grand Concourse and dominating countless side streets in Brooklyn, Queens, northern Manhattan and the Bronx, the mid-rise apartment building fell out of favor over the last three decades.
New York's zoning law encouraged taller, thinner structures, and the city's economy made building a six-story apartment house too expensive for the working- and middle-class families who had called them home for much of the century.
But even in the midst of an economic downturn, the mid-rise building is making a comeback, spurred by new zoning rules and innovations in construction techniques. About 35 new four- to seven-story buildings with elevators have gone up in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx in the last three years, city planning officials say.
The re-invention of the mid-sized apartment house was probably inevitable. High-rise towers cost so much to build that they are appropriate only for the well-to-do, and then primarily in Manhattan. The new two- and three-story town houses that have become popular in the boroughs outside Manhattan are less expensive, but they do not provide enough apartments for a large city that is desperately short of housing.
"The model of the six- to eight-story building is what we would design if we were starting over," said Kathryn Wylde, the president of the New York City Housing Partnership, a nonprofit group that helps develop middle-income housing.
The mid-rise building achieves a scale appropriate for many parts of New York, planners say. It provides more housing than low-rise town houses, and it offers a more direct and comfortable relationship with the streets than do high-rise towers. 'Manageable in Scale'
The six-story building is "coming back for all the right reasons," said Roberta Brandes Gratz, the author of "The Living City," a book on urban planning.
"It's very appropriate for an urban redevelopment, much more appropriate than these ridiculous suburban-style developments that are going up in cities," Ms. Gratz said. "It's manageable in scale and it allows for secure courtyards and good street-front observation, a closer sense of community than high-rise buildings."
The mid-rise building also offers the city government a new model in its ambitious, multibillion-dollar subsidized housing program. The effort, begun four years ago, concentrates on two basic housing types: rebuilding abandoned structures in poor neighborhoods and constructing two- and three-story row houses and town houses for the middle class.
But since the city is likely to run out of vacant buildings in the next few years, it will have to decide whether it can afford to build new housing for the poor and, if so, how to do it. The choice of many housing specialists is the mid-rise apartment house. A Model in the South Bronx
A possible prototype for the next generation of mid-rise housing, some housing experts say, can be found in the South Bronx, four blocks north of Yankee Stadium. There, a six-story slab of salmon and beige sits almost complete on a small hill overlooking the elevated subway. Tenants are to begin moving in early next year.
The exterior is bright and cheerful, the apartments spacious and comfortably appointed. In the back, a sleek playground in a landscaped courtyard looks out on the private parking lot.
Construction has taken only 10 months, about half the ordinary time, because the developers used new prefabrication techniques. The walls are panels, made in a factory out of heavy gauge structural steel with an acrylic, stucco-like exterior. The floors and ceilings are factory-built concrete planks that are pieced together at the site.
The prefabrication techniques prevent bad weather from slowing down the job, makes the entire process more predictable and reduces security costs and the theft of building materials. "The speed is phenomenal," said Philip E. Aarons, the president of the General Atlantic Realty Corporation, the general partner in the development team. The pace reduces the cost of interest on the construction loan. Adding Up the Costs
Mr. Aarons said the construction of the building, which is at the corner of Gerard Avenue and McClellan Street, cost $75 a square foot, at least 25 percent less than the usual construction cost of comparable mid-rise buildings. High-rise buildings can cost at least $130 a square foot to build. Other costs, including land, financing and architectural and legal fees, added another $25 a square foot to the total development cost of Gerard Gardens.
Even with the innovations, the apartment house was sufficiently expensive to build that the developers would have to charge rents of $1,100 a month for it to be "marginally profitable," Mr. Aarons said.
Few would pay such rents to live in the South Bronx, though. Rents for a one-bedroom apartment in the building will be about $415 a month. Two bedrooms will rent for about $480.

Violante Visconti
d.Nov 1386 Pavia, Pavia, Lombardia, Italy
Family tree▼
m. 28 May 1368
m. 2 Aug 1377
m. Nov 1381
Facts and Events
Violante (Jolantha) Visconti (1354 – November 1386) was the second of three children of Galeazzo II Visconti, Lord of Milan and Pavia, and Bianca of Savoy. Her father gave to her the provinces of Alba, Mondovì, Kenites, Cherasco, and Demonte as an inheritance.
As a 13-year-old, with the promise of a large dowry from her father, in addition to her territories, she was married to the third son of King Edward III of England, Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence, in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, predecessor of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Nascente, Milan, on 28 May 1368.[1] The wedding festivities were lavish and ostentatious. The banquet, held outside, included 30 courses of meat and fish presented fully gilded. Between the courses the guests were given gifts such as suits of armor, bolts of cloth, war horses, arms, and hunting dogs. Among the guests were Geoffrey Chaucer, Petrarch, Jean Froissart and John Hawkwood. The marriage was short-lived. Lionel died in Alba on 17 October that year, just five months after the wedding. His death may have been due to food poisoning. The Duchess of Clarence had no issue by the Duke.[2]
On 2 August 1377, Violante's father negotiated a second marriage, to Secondotto, Marquess of Montferrat. Sixteen months later, on 16 December 1378, Secondotto was assassinated after a battle at Piacenza (or Asti). They had no issue.[1]
On 18 April 1381, she married a third time to her cousin Ludovico Visconti, lord governor of Lodi and Parma. He was the son of her paternal uncle Bernabò Visconti and his wife, Beatrice Regina della Scala. They had a son, Giovanni Visconti, who was born after 1382. Barbara Tuchman suggests that her brother may have killed her third husband.[1]
She was a sister-in-law to Isabelle of Valois, the youngest daughter of King John II of France. As a niece of Bernabò Visconti, she was cousin to Valentina Visconti, Queen of Cyprus, and had cousins who married into Austrian and Bavarian nobility, including Viridis Visconti, grandmother of Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor, and Taddea Visconti, mother of Isabeau of Bavaria, of France, whose daughters Isabella of Valois and Catherine of Valois were both Queens consort of England.
Violante died in Pavia in November 1386, at the age of 32.
