Pros: We have never heard lower distortion from a cable
Cons: The price is not sensible
Top End HiFi Cable Comes At A Price
By The Smarthouse Team | Wednesday | 21/03/2007
The van den Hul ultra-high-end interconnect cable sounds fantastic, but the price tag may leave a few hifi enthusiasts a great deal poorer.
MC Silver IT MkIII's three central cores are designed for balanced interconnects but can also be used to build a single ended cable. Conductors are oxygen free copper that is mechanically silver-plated. These are insulated in Teflon and double shielded for maximum noise rejection. The external red jacket is in vdH's preferred Hulliflex EHD, a halogen-free plastic with very sound ecological qualifications. Terminations are vdH's own high-quality varieties.
This flexible cable does a phenomenal job of resolving the last degree of musical detail. Unlike other supposedly high-end cables, the treble is very well extended and totally clean. So many interconnects create slight high-frequency distortion that
The cable also has a strange ability to make other interconnects sound 'loud' or distorted, presumably by virtue of an extremely clean, neutral balance and high transparency. This lets through both the fine detail that gives each note realism and the energy that enlivens the music overall.
Three and a half grand is 'excessive' for an interconnect cable. But, although there is like priced competition aplenty, van den Hul's MC Silver IT MkIII is in a class of its own and it does deliver the goods. Audition at your bank account's peril.

I have been working at Walmart full-time for less than a year
Pros – Wal-Mart is a "You-Are-What-You-Are" company to work for. if you are a mediocre employee with little drive to advance, don't expect the silver platter, but if you have a desire to serve, to advance, and to complete expectations, then the opportunities are endless.
Cons – 90 waiting period for Associate Discount
Advice to Senior Management – Remember two things: Take care of your employees and your employees will take care of you. And "Don't put off till tomorrow, that which can be done today."
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Great Consistent food and service – The Majestic has been one of our favorite places to eat in Detroit for quite a few years now and never disappoints us. I couldn't help thinking that the previous review (one star) must either be very demanding and unreasonable customers or simply experienced a fluke of some kind. We often eat here if going to the film theater at the DIA or to the symphony 2 blocks away or if we're just looking for good food and service that's relatively close to home. The crowd is a great mix of everything and the building that it's located in is a bit of a destination itself with it's own concert hall, bowling alley, billiards, bars and lively conversation and people watching. Yes, there are panhandlers outside sometimes, but I've never felt theatened or unsafe here nor had any touble with street parking.....but then, I grew up in Detroit (so I'm, not easliy intimidated). Go experience the Majestic and the neighboring Magic stick and chances are great that you won't be disappointed.
Best Pierogis by Pat – Don?t? let the appearance of the outside awning deter you from entering.
Very hip atmosphere, warehouse atmosphere lightly decorated to feel warm and friendly. Relaxed music at lunch.
Wide variety of dishes, all with an interesting twist that make them uniquely Majestic?s. Pat?s daily special this day was white potato pirogies to die for; artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, sweet smoked ham, pesto sauce. I?m sorry I split the order. Mexican fried raviolis had just the right amount of heat to please those that like hot yet not too much for those with more sensitive palates. Chicken potpie, should be listed as ?for two? but being able to take home a doggie bag made my husband happy. Can?t wait to share this place with friends.
One of the Worst Dining Experiences in Detroit – My party of 7 had theatre tickets at the Fisher at 8;00. We arrived at 6pm figuring 2 hours was ample time to eat & make it to the theatre on time. The last of our party arrived at 6:05, The restaurant was not full, but it seemed that the floor was understaffed. We did not order our food until 6:40. The waiter was extremely curt---one of our party was handicapped & his wife asked if the kitchen would kindly cuts his meat before sending it out......the response was "we don't do that"......needless to say, we informed him that we wouldn't be ordering if they couldn't extend that courtesty...they did Another person asked for soup instead of a salad---response " we don't substitute".....if this is true, perhaps "I'm sorry, we do not substitue" (although I've never heard of not having a choice). At 7:10 our food began to arrive. Almost every plate was cold! "Garlic" mashed potatoes were not only cold but had huge chucks of undercooked potatoes & were totally unseasoned. One person sent dinner back & it was returned cold except for the meat. After discussing our concerns with the manager, we were given what was the equiv. of a $3 per person discount BUT then a 20% tip was automatically added to the check. By the time we paid our bill, it was 7:45 and we were all late for the curtain, I used a card to pay for my portion of the bill. Today I discovered that the correct amount cleared but they also added a billing for $39 that will not be realeased until Feb 1st unless they fax a cancellation! I find this totally unacceptable for any restaurant! About the only positive thing I can say about this dining experience was that we had a very polite busboy who has much more concerned about our dining experience than our waiter.....he should get all of the forced tip.
Delicious and inventive food – We've eaten at the Majestic a few times and the food has always been *excellent*; it's what I'd call nouvelle cuisine and really a treat. Prices are moderate, although they can be on the high end of that scale. The service is usually friendly, although one time it was totally negligent - but after I later phoned one of the owners to complain (when even the *manager* didn't seem to care), I was given a gift certificate and our server the next time was *superb*. The negatives are the cigarette smoke, the noise level and the parking problem (there's only on-street parking and we often have to walk a few blocks, which always makes us subject to aggressive panhandlers).
Rock, bowl or delight your palate at this hoppin' Woodward hot spot. – The Scene
The Majestic complex includes concert space, the Garden Bowl (rock and bowl) and Magic Stick for pool. Reggae reigns, with some rock and blues, and local bands at the Stick. In the Cafe, culture-seekers on their way downtown are replaced after dinner by a younger bohemian crowd. Local artists' work shares space with Matisse knockoffs in the airy restaurant. Middle Eastern dishes rub shoulders with Mexican, Thai and American.
Favorite! – The Majestic is a favorite for lunch or dinner. Eclectic style, great food and people watching.
Veggie Reuben! Yam Fries! – I love this place -- yes, service can be retarded but I always run into friends and that makes the wait (and reordeering) a joy. Plus this joint has the most vegetarian options in the city, so at least i don't have to deal with Coney island hotdog fumes all up in my face.

ALPENA A few area youth groups have teamed up to help a family improve their house. Over the last few weeks, the kids have been learning about carpentry, painting (exterior and interior), roofing repairs, installing new windows, laying floors and landscaping different portions of the property. Those that couldn't help with the interior work have been cooking and helping with other services around the house.
Catholic Human Services, Word of Life Baptist Church of Alpena, Hope United Methodist of Hastings and Lakewood United Methodist of Lake Odessa representatives and youth groups have been working together on the home of Tammy Malcoln and Shawn Dowell.
Crystal Armstead, representative and coordinator from Catholic Human Services, helped recommend the family to the groups for home improvements.
"They're very grateful for everything," Armstead said. "Everyone has been working from sun-up to sun-down every day doing what needs to be done."
Malcoln is overwhelmed at the amount of work the groups have done on her house.
"It's absolutely amazing," she said. "I don't know what words to say about it. I don't have words for how nice this is. This old house needed it."
Malcoln and Dowell have been living in the home on Long Lake Avenue and Monroe Street for two years. They knew the house needed many repairs, but didn't have the means to do them.
"They've done so much for us," Malcoln said. "They have made such a difference in the house. They put in windows that I can open now, and I have so much light coming into my house. It's so nice. "
The old windows on the home were single pane and had a tendency to break when you tried to open them, she said.
There have been over 40 youth, along with adult supervision, hammering, painting and cleaning around the house, trying to get the big jobs done and finish up what they can before they have to leave.
"We're helping out a family that wants to do better, but maybe doesn't have the resources to make it happen," Rudy Othmer, a youth volunteer coordinator from Lake Odessa, said. "The kids have worked hard all week long and we're finishing up our projects as much as we can before we have to go."
The youth groups from downstate have been staying at the Word of Life's Youth and Family Center located in the old Catholic High School while working on the home.
"The youth learn and benefit a lot from this type of volunteering," Othmer said. "At least as much as the homeowner. We try to come for a week and bring some hope with us."

2013 Greensboro Ford C-Max: Ford's all-new Hybrid C-Max is offered in two models—the Hybrid (SE and SEL trims) or Energi. First up, the Hybrid is situated with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack. Together, this trifecta cranks out 141 horsepower and, according to Ford, tallies a very-pleasant 47 mpg in the city and 47 mpg on the highway. Next, the 2013 Greensboro Ford C-Max Energi model is slated as the U.S. auto maker's first production plug-in hybrid. This set-up is estimated to get more than 500 miles out of one charge. Equipped with a gasoline engine and lithium-ion battery pack, the Energi can fully charge its battery pack overnight by way of a standard 120-volt electric outlet. Competing with all the other eco-friendly vehicles on the market, the auto press write that the 2013 Greensboro Ford C-Max will "likely be more enjoyable to drive and have a nicer interior," than its competitors.
2013 Greensboro Ford E-Series Wagon: Ford's trusty van hasn't been an American staple for more than three decades for nothing. With a long list of impressive capabilities, the E-Series can haul up to 15 passengers (while providing ample cargo room for their luggage or gear), comes with an available driver's-side sliding door and—when properly equipped—can tow up to 10,000 pounds! For 2013, 2013 Greensboro Ford E-Series Wagon owners can opt for the available integrated Trailer Brake Controller (TBC), which works with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) to synchronize the vehicle and trailer brakes, allowing for seamless braking while towing. The best part? TBC is factory-installed and won't give drivers any aftermarket worries. There is one bit to note, however: TBC is only available for the 2013 Greensboro Ford F-Series Wagon when outfitted with the Heavy-Duty (Classes II, III and IV) Trailer Tow Package.
2013 Greensboro Ford Edge: For the 2013 Edge, Ford's pairs its 3.5-liter V6 with a six-speed automatic, for a combo that boils almost 300 horsepower. The next offering for the 2013 Greensboro Ford Edge comes in the form of a 3.7-liter V6, cranking out 305 horses; this engine also pairs with the six-speed automatic (+ shift paddles) and is part of the Sport trim. And for all the tree huggers in the building, Ford kicks down its super-fab 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. Again, this block is paired with the six-speed automatic, and the whole set-up cranks 240 horses yet still gets up to 30 mpg on the highway. The 3.5-liter on the 2013 Greensboro Ford Edge earns 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. (The all-wheel-drive numbers are a little lower.) Meanwhile, the 3.7-liter lists 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
2013 Greensboro Ford Escape: Ford gives its Escape a complete revamp for the 2013 model-year. Offering up a couple different powerplants for this compact crossover, Ford situates this rig with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which puts out 168 horsepower and 167 lb.-ft. of torque. Upper trims on the Ford Escape receive the U.S. auto maker's turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-4, which boosts horsepower to 178 and torque to 184 lb.-ft. But Ford doesn't stop there: Serving up an optional turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4, with 240 horses and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, this set-up is an option for both the SE and SEL trims on the 2013 Greensboro Ford Escape and comes standard with the Titanium model. A uniquely calibrated, six-speed SelectShift automatic serves as the transmission for the 2.5-liter 2013 Greensboro Ford Escape, while the 1.6- and 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines utilize direct fuel injection and turbocharging with twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) to deliver better fuel efficiency.
2013 Greensboro Ford Expedition: Let's face it, the utility-vehicle market seems about as vast as our universe. The Ford Expedition, however, is one of a kind. Dubbed the do-it-all SUV, this rig straps a 5.4-liter V8 under its hood to deliver 310 horses with 365 lb.-ft. of torque. Engineered by the team at Ford to put torque where it's needed most, this block delivers 85 percent of peak torque at just 1500 rpm. Properly equipped, the 2013 Greensboro Ford Expedition can pull up to 9200 pounds. The U.S. auto maker also outfits its 2013 Greensboro Ford Expedition with an available Control Trac Four-Wheel-Drive (4WD) system, which provides for more sure-footed traction on roads that change from dry to wet to snowy to ice. And, the Expedition's independent rear suspension helps ensure the ride is comfy, whatever the asphalt throws at drivers.
2013 Greensboro Ford Explorer: When it comes to safety, the 2013 Ford Explorer takes it to the next level with AdvanceTrac and Roll Stability Control (RSC), along with a Safety Canopy system and trailer sway control. This combo utilizes selective braking and engine management to tame unwanted trailer movement. Ford also adds other safety equipment to the 2013 Greensboro Ford Explorer, such as front side airbags, side curtain airbags and a new front passenger knee airbag, which helps protect the first- and second-row passengers. The U.S. auto maker gives Explorer owners a little bonus, too, with its MyKey system, allowing the pay-rents to specify limits for vehicle speed and stereo volume. Finally, the 2013 Greensboro Ford Explorer is outfitted with the manufacturer's SOS Post-Crash Alert System, as well as hill start assist and curve control, giving drivers more confidence on uphill grades and through corners.
2013 Greensboro Ford F-150: For the 2013 model-year, America's best-selling truck gets a new Limited trim this season. Ford Group Vice President for Product Development, Raj Nair, reports, "The F-150 Limited signifies the highest levels of design refinement, luxury and technology that we've ever offered in a Built Ford Tough pickup truck." Starting with the U.S. auto maker's Sync with MyFord Touch, this system comes standard on the Limited, along with navigation and SiriusXM Travel Link. Also standard for the 2013 Greensboro Ford F-150 Limited model are items such as rain-sensing windshield wipers and high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps—making sure drivers can always find their way. This trim also features series-specific details on the exterior, like dimensional box-side lettering and unique 22-inch polished aluminum wheels. Inside, the Limited 2013 Greensboro Ford F-150 comes with stylish red and black full-grain leather and genuine aluminum and piano-black accents.
2013 Greensboro Ford F-250 Super Duty: Ford loyalists have been spoiled by the F-Series Super Duty's toughness and capability for decades now; however, they also appreciate the vast array of amenities that continue to make their Ford truck-driving experience a down-right pleasure. Well, tack on what the U.S. auto maker is offering up for the 2013 model-year and Super Duty fans are sure to cheer even louder: Ford serves up a first-ever Platinum series model—complete with unique design cues inside and out—plus the addition of Sync with MyFord Touch. This communication system on the 2013 Greensboro Ford F-250 Super Duty will include tactile button controls and large rotating knobs, in order to accommodate truck users who may be wearing clumsy work gloves. The 2013 Greensboro Ford F-250 Super Duty Platinum trim also receives a wealth of techy features, including a nav system, rear view camera, remote start system, power-telescoping mirrors and power-adjustable pedals.
2013 Greensboro Ford F-350 Super Duty: Regarding the 2013 Super-Duty, Brian Rathsburg, F-Series Super Duty marketing manager, states, "The F-Series Super Duty Platinum is the latest expression of Built Ford Tough truck luxury. It has a distinct appearance and a long list of features to deliver a superior experience. Along with that, it has all of the capability F-Series trucks are famous for." The 2013 Greensboro Ford F-350 Super Duty receives styling accents for its Platinum trim that includes a grille featuring a satin chrome surround highlighted by perforated mesh inside, enhanced with a monochromatic bumper and heaps of chrome accents. These shiny-silver bits are present on the Super Duty's tow hooks, door handles, mirror caps, running boards and exhaust tip. The boxside on both sides of the 2013 Greensboro Ford F-350 Super Duty sports the "Platinum" name in chrome letters, while the tailgate is trimmed with a satin chrome appliqué.
2013 Greensboro Ford F-450 Super Duty: For the Super Duty's 2013 model-year, the Platinum trim is all anyone can talk about. When owners opt for this model, the exterior of their 2013 Greensboro Ford F-450 Super Duty comes lavished in chrome, with 20-inch polished-aluminum wheels with painted black inserts. Inside, the 2013 Greensboro Ford F-450 Super Duty Platinum showcases luxury in the form of unique wood grain appliqués; the steering wheel is heated and leather-wrapped, with genuine wood accents, while the instrument panel, center stack and door trims are also wrapped in premium wood grain. A new storage area on top of the dash includes two USB ports, audio-video connections, an SD card slot and a 12-volt charging port for cellphones and other digital devices. The driver's seat has 10-way power-adjustable seating and both captain's chairs are upholstered with softer, premium leather, which is also used on the armrests and console.
2013 Greensboro Ford Fiesta: Receiving four-out-of-five stars for its National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests, the 2013 Ford Fiesta performed incredibly well, overall. Meanwhile, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave this ride a perfect score for its frontal-offset, side and roof-strength tests. Safety features on the 2013 Greensboro Ford Fiesta include AdvanceTrac with electronic stability control; dual-stage first-row airbags, a driver knee airbag, side-impact and side-curtain airbags; a four-wheel anti-lock braking system; LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether Anchors for Children), plus child-safety rear locks and anti-theft engine immobilizer. The 2013 Greensboro Ford Fiesta also serves up an option to its exclusive Sync system: This hands-free system includes voice-controlled traffic, directions and information, 911 Assist, along with a Pandora internet radio app. The best part? In the event of an emergency, the 911 function utilizes the paired cellphone to connect automatically with an operator.
2013 Greensboro Ford Flex: The team at Ford wanted to give the 2013 Flex both superior looks and plenty of power. Hence, check out the 3.5-liter V6 on this rig. Coupled with twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT), this set-up gifts 2013 Greensboro Ford Flex owners with an impressive amount of fuel efficiency and performance. Cranking out 287 horses (about 25 more than last season), the front-wheel-drive Flex is offered with an all-wheel-drive option for owners of the SEL and Limited trims. Also available on the Limited is a turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. This block can only be had with all-wheel-drive; still, the EcoBoost boils 365 horses. Either engine mates with a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with manual shift control, along with Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS). The U.S. auto maker insists EPAS gives the 2013 Greensboro Ford Flex a bump in fuel economy—sometimes as much as four percent, all the while reducing emissions and refining steering.
2013 Greensboro Ford Focus: Served up in three models, plus its electric version, the Focus offers amenities on its base model like 15 inchers, AC, power windows and doors, as well as a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Next in line for the 2013 Greensboro Ford Focus is the five-door SE trim, with items like 16-inch steel wheels, a trip computer, a six-speaker sound system and a 60/40 split-folding seatback, while the top-of-the-line Titanium model can pair with the Handling Package, which swaps out standard bits for 18-inch wheels, an upgraded sport-tuned suspension and different tires. Ford's nav system and automated parallel-parking system is optional on the Titanium trim, too, while a sunroof is optional for both the SE and Titanium models. The 2013 Greensboro Ford Focus Electric (BEV) is equipped similarly to the Titanium model, though leather upholstery and the power driver's seat are optional. The Electric also gets standard xenon headlamps and LED taillamps.
2013 Greensboro Ford Fusion: Leading off the trio of 2013 Fusion engines is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder; developing 170 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft. of torque, this block is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that sends the Fusion's power to the front wheels. Next up, the 1.6-liter, EcoBoost turbocharged I-4, which cranks 179 horsepower and 172 lb.-ft. of torque, is also paired to the six-speed automatic. Finally, the star of the 2013 Greensboro Ford Fusion lineup is a 2.0-liter, EcoBoost turbocharged, four-cylinder engine generating 237 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic. This transmission will feed power to the front wheels or all four. Ford estimates the 1.6-liter on the 2013 Greensboro Ford Fusion will earn 26 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. This engine is also available with start-stop technology, which boosts fuel efficiency.
2013 Greensboro Ford Mustang: Bring up the 2013 Mustang and this iconic racer's power is most likely the first bit of info that springs to mind. Strapped under the hood of the 2013 Greensboro Ford Mustang sits a 3.7-liter V6, gargling 305 horses. Married to a either a six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic with SelectShift, this ride comes in coupe or convertible models with rear-wheel drive. The GT trim, then, ups the ante with a 5.0-liter V8, cranking out a mind-splitting 420 horses; this block is set-up with the same choice of transmissions and adds a limited-slip differential to the mix. And for all the diehard fans in the crowd, the Boss 302 and Shelby GT500 models of the 2013 Greensboro Ford Mustang receive a souped-up (Boss) and bigger (Shelby) version of the V8. The Shelby's 662-horsepower, 5.8-liter supercharged block lays claim to being the most powerful engine ever in a North American production car.
2013 Greensboro Ford Taurus: Simply put, folks, the trusty Taurus we've all come to know and adore is not only still standing, it's racing to the head of the sedan-class. Yes, Ford's front-wheel-drive sedan has, indeed, gotten better with age, and for the 2013 model-year, the 2013 Greensboro Ford Taurus is also delivering better fuel efficiency, while owning some state-of-the-art technology. Top it all off with Ford's new available 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine, and you can pretty much call it a night! And thank the auto goddess above for demanding that the Taurus' SHO badge remains, because that's our favorite trim. While Ford was busy deciding to keep the best part of the 2013 Greensboro Ford Taurus intact, it also thought to step it up with a new Performance Package. Really, what's not to love about a vehicle that sports recycled materials—the seat cushions are made from soy-based foam!—as well as upgraded brakes and tires.
2013 Greensboro Ford Transit Connect: For those who want to take their light-truck needs down another couple notches, Ford offers up its Transit Connect, a compact work van. Able to help with the average hauling needs, while providing easy handling and great fuel economy, the Transit is also equipped with techy features, such as an in-dash computer, Internet access, vehicle tracking and monitoring plus tool inventory systems—top that! The 2013 Greensboro Ford Transit Connect is available in XL Van, XLT Van, XLT Wagon and XLT Premium Wagon trims and features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces a mild 136 horsepower with 128 lb.-ft. of torque. Mated to a four-speed automatic, which sends power to the front wheels, the 2013 Greensboro Ford Transit Connect lists EPA-estimated fuel ratings as 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg while cruising the highway.

CHECKMATE? ... Three years ago Bill Pfeiffer of the Sacred Earth Project, an expert on Siberian indigenous people who has been traveling and meeting with the elders there for 30 years, said that the U.S. was about three years away from the same fate that befell the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was in Afghanistan for 25 years and went completely broke so their economy collapsed because too much money went to their military budget relative to their GDP (Gross Domestic Product is usually measured by the total value of goods and services provided by a nation in a year) ... Osama Bin Laden is reported to have been thrilled when the U.S. invaded Iraq and Afghanistan because he foresaw us falling into the same trap, eventually bankrupting ourselves and making us easy to drive out of the Muslim world ... As Moab gadfly Lance Christie noted, "Remember that the Muslims have a 2,000-year time frame perspective in their thinking about historical and political strategy; waiting ten years for us to self-destruct is a trivial exercise in patience for them" ... A United Kingdom correspondent friend of Christie's noted with interest the fact that after the collapse of the Soviet Union the nations they had conquered started to declare independence. She sees the Lakota Sioux Indian nation invoking their treaty right to declare independence from the U.S. due to violations of that treaty as the beginning of that process, possibly to be followed by other sovereign native American nations who have the same treaty rights.
WORK MORE EARN LESS ... An analysis by the Washington Post found that prices for staples like groceries, gasoline and health care have risen 9.2 percent since 2006. According to its calculations, this price increase cost a middle-class family an extra $972 annually ... Merrill Lynch says a greater proportion of consumers' disposable income went to paying for such staples – 36 percent – than at any time since the figure was first tracked in 1960.
BILL MAHER ... I don't own a TV, but I got to see Bill Maher's March 24 Real Time show, where the long-time liberal pundit praised G.W. Bush as a Uniter. In eight short years he has united the middle class and the lower class so that both are cash-strapped and at risk in this country ... Speaking of "free market" Republicans (as flagrant an oxymoron as Bush the Uniter) and the Bear Stearns trillion dollar taxpayer bailout, Maher explain that Republicans believe in the free market for profits, but then always want to socialize their losses ... Maher interpreted the poll that shows that 55 percent of Americans think John McCain is the best candidate to be there in the White House to answer that red phone at 3 a.m. because he'd be up anyway trying to pee.
APOLLO ALLIANCE ... One example of a group pursuing a do-it-yourself renewable future is the Apollo Alliance, a coalition of environmentalists, labor organizers, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and others pushing aggressively for policies that link national energy independence with new jobs. The alliance is named for the Apollo moonshot mission launched by John F. Kennedy in 1961. Apollo aims at making every home and building in the U.S. energy efficient and developing clean, high-speed rail networks between population centers. Pursuing these objectives would employ millions of Americans at all skill levels ... One Apollo idea is to create a Clean Energy Corps. One of the corp's functions would be to weatherize the homes of low- to moderate-income people. To retrofit houses over a decade would cost about $45 billion. Some 225,000 people from the communities where this work is done would be earning and spending paychecks. The weather-stripping alone would save an average of about $400 per year in energy costs for each home. This totals to $120 billion in national savings in energy costs. That's about a fourth of Washington's "go shopping" stimulus package cost.
BAD STATS ... Health care premiums for U.S. citizens have risen four times faster than wages in the past five years.

An S3forums member contacted me to let me know that he had received a couple of free Galaxy S 3 cases in the mail, and they were free! Apparently they had been giving away Iphone and Ipad accessories for several weeks. They recently added Samsung Galaxy S 3 cases! Just head to the link below, add 2 cases to your cart, and imput the promo code "FreeZooGueAccessory". Mine are in the mail and on the way! The only catch is that you will be responsible for $6 worth of shipping and handling cost. The cases look to be high quality TPU cases. I was provided with a USPS tracking number. I know this isn't the type of story that I normally cover, but I thought this information was to valuable to keep to myself.

One day, while driving through the suburbs of Los Angeles, my French husband noticed a bumper sticker on a car that read: "My child is a superstar at Kester Elementary School." He turned to me and asked: "What's the point of that bumper sticker?"
We'd just returned to Los Angeles after living in France for over ten years, where I'd had two children and become a French citizen. Somehow in that span of time, America had gone from being a culture of trophy wives to a culture of trophy kids. An unsettling but unspoken emotion seemed to float among parents. That emotion could be summed up in one four letter word: Fear.
Volumes have been written about that fear – fear, among other things, that in the global education race American kids will be left to bite the dust of Asians. No wonder Amy Chua, author of "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," is every American parent's worse nightmare: a Chinese icon of steely perfection and punishing taskmaster whose obedient, high-performing uber-academic offspring seem poised to take on the New World Order. Chances are that New World Order speaks Mandarin. And chances are, your kids do not.
Chua's celebration of Chinese parenting and her bizarre assertions fly in the face of everything beholden to Western parents. Take the notion that for kids "nothing is fun unless you're good at it." You can basically kiss childhood away with that statement. Ditto for the conviction that "the solution to substandard performance is always to excoriate, punish and shame the child." And yet in being so ridiculously extreme Chua is, in fact, perfectly American, because in our culture of extremes — Extreme Politics, Extreme Home Makeovers, Extreme Sports, Extreme Cooking, Extreme Dating, Extreme Adventures (the list goes on) — we can thank Chua for ushering in a perfectly American new idiom: Extreme Parenting.
When Chua's pre-book launch Wall Street Journal article "Why Chinese Mothers are Superior" went viral, countless parents the world over had something to say. One of them was French mother Elisabeth Guedel Treussard, whose piece "Why French Mothers are Superior" (in French) included a list of things her children, à la française, are never allowed to do:

Standard, no. Common, yes. Pex is plastic spaghetti crap.
Okay, here's a "contractor bad dream story", hopefully cut a little bit short.
It's my own bathroom remodel, contractor raved about his plumber -- his plumber was going to use PEX instead of the original copper that was going to be torn out and somewhat rerouted. Nothing terribly major; move the toilet and hot water heater, plumb to a new bathtub and shower.
Last weekend we had a major freeze in the Pacific Northwest and I crawled under the house to check on the pipes. Granted, it is a miserable crawlspace -- hard to access and hard to move around in...but I don't think there's any excuse for what I found:
Aside from the old plumbing parts,torn out insulation, and garbage left under the house, exactly how "standard" is that kind of plumbing layout for PEX?
I understand it's much easier to use, and flexible, but that doesn't excuse that particular snakes nest!
Should I insist this be redone? (I think so...)
Standard, no. Common, yes. Pex is plastic spaghetti crap.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
It's hard to make PEX runs look nice.
It should be supported every four feet.
Copper can get by with six feet.
It looks like two different insulation wraps. The darker stuff comes preglued, but you have to pull the cellophane off after installation to allow the two sticky sides to bind together.
The light stuff was tie wrapped.
A lot of contractors use PEX because they can install it that way, because it takes less time, even it if does use a bit more material. They don't really care how it looks as long as nobody is going to see it.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber

Terrible! Won't Return – Was at Lulu's Noodles last night and it was one of the worst experiences ever. Service -- non existant. And there was practically no one in the restaurant. Had to actually go find a server to place an order. Then the server disappeared -- dropped food off at table -- no utensils, no refills on the most watered down iced tea ever. And the Pad Thai -- I can still taste the salt and can't figure out how to get it out of my mouth. Won't ever return.....and will tell everyone what a bad experience I had.
What happened!?!?!?!? I have to give it at least one star -- but that star is on ly becasue the system required it.
Lulu's Noodle and Satay Shop – So, I love a good international meal just like you. Spicy, tangy, tropical, lush--all that good stuff. I like it when a tasty morsel sweeps me away to...somewhere other than KC, know what I mean?
The Green Curry is great. But that's about it. The Pad Thai is so embarrassing that I may never even go back for the Green Curry. Lulu's USED to be a hot spot. Now it's just a run of the mill "has been". The recipes have changed and not in good way. The Pad Thai literally tasted like fish and salt; completely unappealing.
I agree with one of the other posts: there is no "medium". Just mild or burn your face off.
AWESOME! – This is a fun hip place. Love the atmosphere and the people are nice. Too bad I dont live here or I would be at Lulus all the time. I am actually gonna miss it.....Love the food and drinks! Only order Blazing if you can handle super hot....I can barely handle regular hot there....
Awesome – Wow. The atmosphere of Lulu's is charming, hip, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the food came out lightning fast! I got the Wild Mushroom Curry with tofu and absolutely loved it. It's packed with veggies and a good variety of mushrooms and just enough spice. My server on this visit was Crystal, she was attentive and funny amidst the chaos of the midweek lunch rush. This is a great place, check it out!
Brace yourself for the jalapenos! – I got there about 45mins before they closed and the server Crystal could not have been less attentive. Even the couple that walked in after me had to ask for water and their bill. I was excited to try this place out. On a good friend's recommendation I ordered the Blazon Wok Bowl w/beef. I thought by ordering it "Med Hot" it would be somewhere between mild and hot?med hot. My food came out promptly which made up for the wait to place my order. When I saw the steaming hot bowl heavily decorated with dark green jalapeno slices I thought, oh! These are the kind of peppers that aren't hot. I was wrong. After blowing my nose incessantly at the table, (I actually had to go to the bathroom twice to wash my hands), sweating, and my lips feeling like they were "blazing," I realized I couldn't taste anything I was eating. I am Hispanic so I can take a little lot, but I counted 20, yes 20 slices were in this lunch bowl!!! I like hot, but damn! Not that hot. Just to be sure I asked Crystal...hey Crystal....hey, over here Crystal, for the menu, just to see if I had somehow missed the recommendation of ordering this dish with a fire extinguisher...nope, not there. If you need a good detox, hurry, get to LuLu's!!
Great place! – I travel a lof for business and I spent 10 years on the West Coast where you find lots of authentic Thai, not the 'americanized' stuff you find in many Chinese restaurants, etc. My friends took me here during a visit when i was in KC on biz; the flavors were amazing to me! Never had I expected to find decent Thai food anywhere in the Midwest. Next time back in town, I made sure I went to Lulu's again and had the same wonderful experience. If only there was a way for them to expand the menu. (sigh)
The food is terrific, the service is fast AND friendly - awesome, eclectic and FUN staff - and the atmosphere lends itself to a good time. I am moving to KC in August and I think this will be the place I ask a few friends to take me for my "Welcome to KC" dinner! I love this place and plan on being a regular!
GREAT!! – I love this place! The food is great and the service is fast and friendly. A++ Be prepared to be addicted!
Don't forget your leftovers... – I really like this place! The food is great and available for takeout. Plus, personally I think it tasts much better as leftovers since the spices have had a chance to sink in. Definitely worth the drive..
A spicy vegetarian haven for noodle lovers. – In Short
Lulu's is draped in plants, adorned with Buddas and home to a small pond with a school of goldfish. If you take a few steps through the door, you might forget you are in Missouri--and that's the aim. The curry ranges in temperature from mild to "buyer beware." Most dishes can be made with tofu, and are never left wanting for more veggies. The portions are ample, but not on your wallet.

This paper presents and extends the major statistical methods used in risk measurement and audit, and extends into other processes that are used within systems engineering (Elliott, Jeanblanc, & Yor, 2000).
Rationally Opting for the Insecure Alternative: Negative Externalities and the Selection of Security Controls Masters
Craig Wright - September 19, 2011
Absolute security does not exist and nor can it be achieved. The statement that a computer is either secure or not is logically falsifiable (Peisert & Bishop, 2007), all systems exhibit a level of insecurity.
Measuring Psychological Variables of Control In Information Security
Josh More - January 12, 2011
Perceived Control is a core construct used in the psychology field that can be considered an aspect of empowerment (Eklund, & Backstrom, 2006). Effectively, it is a measure of how much control people feel that they have, as opposed to the amount of Actual Control that they may have. It is often paired against constructs such as Vicarious Control and Vicarious Perceived Control, which measure the amount of control that outside entities have over the subject. Often, these are variables measured in the psychology/health field. For example, in the world of medicine, when patients report a lack of perceived control over controllable illnesses such as diabetes (Helgeson, & Franzen, 1997), breast cancer (Helgeson, 1992) and heart disease (Helgeson, 1992), they often do more poorly than patients who feel that they have a greater sense of control over their illness. There is also evidence that students with high perceived control do substantially better academically than those with low, though this seems to also link with emotions surrounding the tasks at hand (Ruthig, Perry, Hladkyj, Hall, & Pekrun, 2008). In short, people who are interested in and excited by what they are doing tend to perform better.
Reducing Organizational Risk Through Virtual Patching Masters
Joseph Faust - January 11, 2011
Software patching for IT Departments across the organizational landscape has always been an integral part of maintaining functional, usable and stable software. Historically the traditional patch cycle has been focused on fixing or resolving issues which affect functionality. In recent years, with the advancement of more sophisticated and targeted threats which are occurring in quicker cycles, this focus is dramatically changing. (Risk Assessment Cisco, n.d.; Executive Office of The United States, 2005) . Corporations and Government now have a greater understanding of potential losses and expenses incurred by not maintaining application security and are moving towards an increased focus on patching and security (Epstein, Grow & Tschang, 2008). With organizations reputations, consumer confidence and corporate secrets at risk, corporations and government are recognizing the need to shift and address vulnerabilities at a much faster pace than they historically have done so (Chan, 2004). Over roughly the last ten years, the length of time between the documentation of a given vulnerability in a piece of software and the development of an actual exploit that can take advantage of the weakness in the application, has decreased tremendously. According to Andrew Jaquith, senior analyst at Yankee Group, the average time between vulnerability discovery and the release of exploit code is less than one week. (Shrinking time from, 2006). It has also been identified that 99% of intrusions result from exploitation of known vulnerabilities or configuration errors where countermeasures were available ("Risk reduction and.," 2010) . Clearly these statistics alone can prove daunting for many businesses trying to keep pace and maintain proper defenses against the bad guys.
A Question of Platinum Plus
Craig Wright - December 29, 2010
The fallacy of the black swan in risk has come full circle in information systems. Just as the deductive fallacy, a dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter2 allowed false assertions that black swans could not exist when they do, we see assertions that risk cannot be modeled without knowing all of the black swans" that can exist. The falsity of the black swan argument derives from a deductive statement that every swan I have seen is white, so it must be true that all swans are white. The problem is that which one has seen is a subset of the entire set. One cannot have seen all swans.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 30th Anniversary Edition
Bloomsbury Academic, 1 sept. 2000 - 183 pages
First published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. The methodology of the late Paulo Freire has helped to empower countless impoverished and illiterate people throughout the world. Freire's work has taken on especial urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is increasingly accepted as the norm. With a substantive new introduction on Freire's life and the remarkable impact of this book by writer and Freire confidant and authority Donaldo Macedo, this anniversary edition of Pedagogy of the Oppressed will inspire a new generation of educators, students, and general readers for years to come.For more information, visit www.pedagogyoftheoppressed.com.

I have always been a fan of watching the show "COPS," but I canot say I am a huge fan of cops themselves. It is crazy to think that here in our quiet state we can have police shootouts, but it happens a lot more than you think. Recently a video has surfaced online of a police shooting that took place in Billings this past summer. The criminal was an escaped inmate from the state prison who wound up in Billings.
My buddy who lives in Seattle was taking a road trip through Washington earlier this week, and spotted this sign at a church. All I can say is, good question.
