Restoring and Improving A Thorens TD-124 MKII
Having looked at a variety of very crusty Thorens TD-124 threads, none of which really related too directly to my project I have decided to open a new thread.
I have just acquired a fairly clean, and low hour TD-124 MKII with an SME 3009 Series II arm which I am going to restore.
I acquired this from a parent of a friend who lives in Manhattan so you imagine the day I had yesterday driving down and back as a consequence of this TT purchase.
The TT was a built in and does not have a plinth of its own. Every last bit of rubber with the exception of the belt and pulley has deteriorated to the point of needing replacement understandably..
The lubricant in the motor bearings has turned to glue so rather than just clean and reassemble I have decided to install a motor bearing upgrade kit which replaces the tinned bronze bearings with precision machined sintered bronze bearings, new felt pads and all of the hardware required to reinstall the bearing caps on the motor. (Should this prove not to be as good as claimed I will keep the old parts for that eventuality.)
I need to replace the motor mount bushings, the "gummi-muffins" which are the TT mounting bushings, the six pads on the platter, the belt.
I also plan to install a stiffer bearing cap on the main bearing but since this is a late model MKII I plan to retain the original sintered bronze bearings as they aren't worn at all..
I haven't quite decided on the plinth, but I am thinking to start it will be one of the moderately priced ($400 or so) CLD plinths available on eBay.
This unit has the later aluminum platter so I can use my Zu/Denon DL-103 without concern for the issues of magnetic attraction with the earlier iron platter - the down side is the aluminum platter is reputed not to perform quite as well due to somewhat lower overall mass.. The older iron platter apparently somewhat less resonant, not that this platter appears to have an issue.. The other significant difference is the strobe on the platter is 33 rpm only..
Parts in some cases will be sourced from Octave, and in others from a couple of well regarded eBay sellers of TD-124 parts and upgrades.
The arm has already been cleaned up and is complete and in very good condition except that the decoupler will have to be replaced. (They're readily available.) I also plan to install RCA jacks on this arm as I have done on my other.

TD124 Restoration Parts
Kevin, it seems as though you got a great deal. I am contemplating some of the same things with a Thorens I have.
The motor bearings are said to be sintered brinze and tinned, depending on the articles one reads. Let us know what you find inside that motor. I think that the MkII has six rubber motor mounts that might be best upgraded with silicone gel bushings available on Ebay. They are said to better insulate vibration.
Why don't you build your own plinth or have it made locally, as there will also be some pretty expensive shipping charges, I assume? Do you plan to renew the rubbers for wounting to the plinth, or hard mount it as suggested by some to sink vibration to the plinth?
The last thing, why do you plan to upgrade the spindle bearing plate assembly? What improvements do you hope to obtain? Please keep us posted as this project moves along. Good luck!

Yes, actually I am planning on a bearing plate upgrade as well, there are so many to choose from so I am going to do a little more research, none short of a full bearing replacement are more than about $70 or so, not exactly extremely expensive. (Stainless steel, gun metal, and bronze are all on offer.)
The motor grommets I ordered are silicone gel types ordered on eBay today in fact.
I also ordered silicone gel bushings for the chassis to plinth interface, and will try both with and without them to see what is preferable given the plinth in use.
Long term the plinth will be some sort of CLD type, I have some hope of finding a counter top fabricator that would be willing to make me a slate plinth. Mixed hardwoods are another more realizable option as I can either do that myself or my father in law may be interested in the project..

This is very cool. Funny how we so often end up with similar equipment, you and I.
I ran a Thorens pinch roller TT for years. TD-124, IIRC. Earlier than what you have, I think. Bought it at the flea market in Paris. I liked it because it was 1) Cheap 2) a Thorens.
Always felt the idler wheel roller thing was goofy, but what did I know? Now they are highly sought after. Had an Ortophon MM cart on the stock arm. It made good music.
Take the Speaker Voltage Test!

Think you might have been a little further ahead of the curve than me - I'm actually way behind the curve, but very lucky.
Sounds like we are on the same path and looking for many of the same things sonically speaking, your encouragement along with Greg's was what gave me the confidence to tackle those Onkens now more than 4yrs ago..

With the Thorens and those Onkens, you'll be a happy camper!
I almost built a pair of Onkens recently, but then a pair of Altec A7s fell in my lap. What's a fellow to do?

It's been a 2 weeks and I am still running that SEP, it's not perfect, but there is something I like about it, or perhaps its just the 2nd most tolerable amp I have heard in my set up.. The rest are sleeping or passed along to others..
I think I have a number of weeks of waiting before the parts all start to arrive, and I have decided to try building a longer arm - at least 12" which will consist of a carbon fiber tone arm on an SME 3009 yoke.. (The knife edge, stub and counterweight will all be stock 3009 with tweaks as necessary) Should be interesting getting it to work.. My parts arm will donate most of the key parts, the rest I'll either fabricate or purchase on eBay. If I am lucky it will be possible to make it compatible with a future SPU.. (or not)

Nice find! I've never seen a used Thorens during years of digging at yard sales and thrifts, but I keep looking.
Have fun with the project.

My TD124 from a few years ago is still missing a good plinth. I never got round to getting it done. Now I want to do it soon.
Let us know how your plinth and assembly is shaping up. I haven't done anything to the basic turntable like changing the bearing etc.

Memory dumps have always been a tried and true method of debugging errant programs. The image of a programmer toiling over a stack of paper to track down that elusive bug is very real to me -- I remember doing it. I also remember entering the wired age when a systems programmer from Ireland e-mailed his dump to us for our review -- and consequently bogged down Bitnet (or NetNorth in Canada, a store-and-forward e-mail network dating circa 1981). Still, it was faster than sending a tape!
Nowadays, memory dumps can be taken in a flash, and can easily be transmitted across the Internet. They are a useful tool, in a variety of settings, particularly if we regard the debugging process as extending past RTM to the support lifecycle. If we can add memory dumps to the set of tools available for debugging -- such as the debugger, simple output of information through instrumentation, observing the program behavior -- then we become more effective and make life easier for ourselves.
Microsoft's Debug Diagnostics 1.1 ("DebugDiag" for short) is designed to facilitate the generation and analysis of memory dumps. There are three components to DebugDiag:
DebugDiag's UI is designed to assist in handling dumps: creation of rules defining when and how to take a dump, and analyzing the resulting crash dumps. It is also extensible via scripting. In fact, the built-in analytics are scripts. They provide an easy way of analyzing dumps -- either "crash/hang" dumps, or "memory pressure" snapshots of a process. Moreover, DebugDiag is tailored for use with IIS, and designed to be able to take multiple dumps to reflect changing conditions (memory, for instance) or failing threads in IIS. Finally, in the case of IIS, DebugDiag has the ability to bundle together a number of data sources for debugging (such as the event logs, the IIS Metabase, the W3SVC logs, and the HTTP error logs) into a cab file.
Figure 1 is DebugDiag's interface. The first tab lets you create a crash rule that determines when and how a crash dump is taken. In the second tab, you can analyze a dump. There is also a default wizard that appears at startup to guide you through the dump rule creation process. The third tab displays the currently running processes, and lets you take manual dump of a particular process.
Crash/Hang Dump
DebugDiag can simply be pointed to a crash dump and told to analyze it. Alternatively, you can prepare for a crash by creating "rules" which trigger a dump by using the wizard to walk you through the rule creation process (either a crash/hang rule, or a memory and handle leak rule).
In Figure 2, you see the four panels of the wizard when setting up an crash rule. Here I'm setting up a rule for demodump, a demonstration program that exercises some of DebugDiag's features.
The wizard lets you choose the type of process (for instance, all IIS/COM+ processes, or a specific generic process, MTS/COM+ process, IIS web application pool, or NT service). This choice leads to a panel displaying either executing processes or applications of the type you selected. If you select the MTS/COM+ application radio button, you are shown a list of packages. If you choose the NT service radio button, a list of services is displayed. Finally, if you select a specific IIS web application pool, you are shown a list of pools from which to select.
The fourth panel in Figure 2 is the Advanced Configuration panel, where you specify the type of dump action that you want (a log trace, or minidump, or full userdump, or even custom action). Limits and further dump configuration can be done here. Also, PageHeap can be configured for the process using a simple dialog (rather than using the Microsoft gflags tool). PageHeap is a tool that can be used to diagnose heap corruption problems, which can be really nasty! For more information, see How to use Pageheap.exe in Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003.
Memory Pressure Analysis
The configuration behind a memory or handle leak rule is less obvious. Tools such as Process Explorer from Windows Sysinternals show the changes of state in a process. However, to completely analyze memory utilization you need a dump. Moreover, when tracking down a problem, multiple dumps may be necessary. Figure 3 illustrates the configuration of a leak rule. DebugDiag injects LeakTrack.dll into the process under study. (You can also inject this dll manually into a process.) The leak rule lets you specify points at which a dump will be taken, as well as a final dump.
demodump: Illustrating DebugDiag
To illustrate some of these scenarios, I've put together a simple program called demodump that attempts to replicate certain crash situations. This application (demodump) takes one of four parameters: stack, address, heap, and hang.
- address. Two threads are started. In each thread, one of two routines (Recur1(), Recur2() is called, based on a pseudo-random number that is generated for each iteration. Depending on a threshold constant, a function that will generate an intentional addressing exception will be randomly called.
- stack. The same two threads are started, but no intentional addressing exception is generated. The calls are continued until we get a stack overflow, thus generating an exception.
- heap. As above, two threads are started. Instead of generating an exception, the application makes memory allocations and then pauses. The intention here is to simulate a leak, but not necessarily to cause a crash.
- hang. This scenario generates a deadlock using three functions, three critical sections, and three threads.
Symbols and a Symbol Store
To take full advantage of the dump analysis in DebugDiag, you need make program symbols available. This can be either the PDB file associated with the binary in question, or a symbol store derived from this. When many versions of a binary have been released to customers, the latter is much more convenient.
Microsoft maintains a public symbol server which is available over the Internet. The path is:
It's fairly easy to create your own symbol store using the symstore utility (available in the Debugging Tools for Windows download from Microsoft). The following command line creates a symbol store for our example application:
symstore add /f debug /s store /t demodump
In this example, add indicates that files are to be added to this symbol store. The files to be added are specified by the /f switch; here they are the files in the debug output directory for demodump. /s points to the symbol store itself. Once the symbol store has been built, either of the two following symbol paths can be specified to DebugDiag, and it will resolve the symbols for demodump.
Example of a Crash
Figure 4 shows the demodump application in the process of being dumped. At the point when the screenshot was taken, Windows was dumping the process to disk.[Click image to view at full size]
To analyze this dump, select the crash dump file by browsing for it. Since this is a crash, choose the Crash/Hang Analyzers and click on the Start Analysis button. Once the analysis is complete, DebugDiag presents the analysis in a browser in an MHTML (Mime HTML) page, which can be saved as an MHT file and viewed later. Figure 5 shows this resulting crash dump analysis.[Click image to view at full size]
Addressing Exception
At the top of the dump report (Figure 5), there is a summary of the dump analysis. In a real world issue, this can point to the crash problem and potentially (if in a third-party module) the vendor.
In the next section of the dump, there is a table of contents, in case multiple dumps are analyzed simultaneously. This can be very useful for comparing related dumps. Following this, at the beginning of the dump, we see some general information about the process that crashed.
After this, we find the meat of the crash -- the call stack. Each line shows the calling function and offset where the call is being made, as well as the source file and line number. Thus we can often pin down the exception to the actual statement that failed.
demodump can produce a stack overflow dump, but this is essentially the same as the addressing exception shown above. Consequently I won't describe that here, although a sample dump report that contains four output MHTML pages, each showing the output of debugdiag for a particular exception condition is included with the source code for a demonstration Visual Studio project for generating exception conditions -- bad pointer, too much memory used, and so on. The resulting dumps can be analyzed with the Microsoft tool.
Deadlock or Hang
It's normal for programs to be waiting. A process contains one or more threads that are executing, and these threads may need to synchronize with something else -- perhaps each other. If synchronization is incorrect, threads may block waiting for each other, and thus deadlock. Other threads may continue running, but the blocked threads consume resources and are a problem. If no thread can run within a process, the process is said to by hung.
In this case, Windows won't automatically dump your process. After all, if your process is simply waiting for something, it would be rather rude to terminate it without asking for your permission. In DebugDiag, you can manually choose which type of dump, if any, to take (Figure 6). In the demodump application, it is not really dead-locked -- you time-out after a waiting for a bit, so that the application will terminate normally.[Click image to view at full size]
The analysis carried out by the hang analysis script not only discovers that there is a deadlock in the application, but also pinpoints the threads involved in the hang -- Thread 2 is deadlocked with Thread 1 (Figure 7). Other advice is given in the Recommendation cell, in case this does not enable you to resolve the problem.[Click image to view at full size]
Other elements of the hang report show the Top 5 Threads (by CPU time), and the call stacks of the deadlocked threads (see Figure 8). There is also a report of the critical sections involved. Because of the symbols available, the analyzer is able to identify g_cs1 and g_cs2 as the two critical sections involved. We can see that Thread 2 (thread id 5780) owns g_cs2 while Thread 1 (thread id 800) owns g_cs1.[Click image to view at full size]
Example of Heap Analysis (Memory Leaks)
A memory or handle leak can be a difficult thing to track down. DebugDiag can make this simpler. In tracking a leak, DebugDiag injects the LeakTrack dll into the monitored process. Tools such as Process Explorer can show this (or you can see it in the dump report). The LeakTrack dll saves things such as sample call stacks that are later shown in the dump report.
In your memory rule, you can specify that dumps should be taken periodically, with a final dump at the end of the monitoring period. DebugDiag forces you to monitor the process under study for at least 15 minutes before taking the final dump. However, you can force DebugDiag to start recording sample call stacks immediately -- and then take a manual dump.
In the analysis summary (Figure 9), you can see that the analyzer has identified the two functions that are doing the memory allocations -- Recur1() and Recur2(), and has reported the allocations attributed to each. Next, the memory manager for these allocations is reported (ntdll.dll) and you are directed to the callstack samples to see where the allocations occur.[Click image to view at full size]
Since this program ran for a very short time, the report of high memory fragmentation should be taken with a grain of salt. Generally, there is a settling period for programs, as shown by the recommendation that you monitor a process for at least 15 minutes to get reliable information.
Figure 10 shows the virtual memory summary and heap analysis. In this particular example, this is not too meaningful, but you can see the analytical results available. The Leak Analysis (Figure 11) and the call stacks (Figure 12) are more interesting. demodump has 26 outstanding allocations, and we can see sample call stacks for these allocations. In this dump, there are 10 call stacks (only three are shown). This can be invaluable in tracking down leaks, because it shows the program logic in terms of the functions called when potential leaks occur. Note as well in the details for Recur2() that there is a statistic emitted called the Leak Probability -- in this case, it was 78%.[Click image to view at full size]
Memory allocations can fall into one of three categories:
- Cached memory that will be held for a very long time.
- Short-term allocations that are freed quickly.
- Leaks.
Clearly you need to distinguish between the first and the last. The only reliable way to determine if a leak exists is to watch the memory behavior of the program over a long period of time. The leak probability is calculated according to a formula that is based on the observed allocation patterns of your program over a period of time -- it's only a suggestion. Often knowing that there is a leak, and seeing the sample call stacks, is enough to track it down and fix it.[Click image to view at full size][Click image to view at full size]
DebugDiag is simple to use, and provides a wealth of information. I don't think it's a silver bullet for every issue (it's perhaps not as robust as you'd want it to be), but if you aren't aware of its capabilities, then you are missing out on a very useful tool. The best way to learn about it is to try it, and with the simple demonstration application demodump you can investigate how this tool works.

How do you start your day? If you are like most adults it's with a 'Cup of Joe'. About 83 percent of adults drink coffee in the U.S., up from 78 percent in 2012, according to the National Coffee Association's 2013 online survey. That's an average of three cups a day per person, or 587 million cups! With all of that Coffee being consumed, think of the amount of coffee grounds that are being thrown away. Coffee grounds can be re-used for so many different things. Here are just a few ideas!
Compare prices and shop for Organic Coffee->
1. Pest Repellant
The strong aroma may be endearing to many of us, but is a natural repellant for many insects such as ants, snails and slugs. Having troubles with ants? Trace them to their point of entry and put out some coffee grounds to deter them from returning…more.
2. Homemade Wood Stain
"Most store-bought wood stains contain harsh chemicals and produce terrible fumes, causing hazards for both the environment and the health of those using them. But coffee––while it does have some limitations in terms of coloration––is an incredibly effective, safe, organic, and ecologically responsible alternative." Learn more here.
3. Naturally Deodorizing Flower Vase
By simply taking a mason jar, some ground coffee [to look like soil] and fresh cut flowers from the garden, you can create a beautiful flower vase that not only looks great, but smells great too! The coffee grounds [whether dry or just brewed] will naturally deodorize the room in addition to the beautiful scent that will be given off by the flowers you have selected…more.
4. Fridge Deodorizer
Place old grounds in a mason jar and stick it in your fridge. The coffee will naturally deodorize the space and replace the ever so popular baking soda from it's duty.
5. DIY Exfoliating Scrub
"Why should you exfoliate? It sloughs off the dead skin cells and unclogs your pores. All good things in my book. Not to mention with this scrub I have the added benefit of smelling like coffee afterwards." Recipe here.
6. Natural Fertilizer
Make a homemade garden fertilizer by making a coffee ground "tea". Simply add 2 cups of used grounds to a 5 gallon bucket of water and allow to steep overnight. This coffee "tea" can then be poured over garden and potted plants as a liquid fertilizer. Read more here.
7. Keep Cats Away
Spread used coffee grounds around the base of your garden to prevent cats from digging. This not only helps your garden but can help neighborhood cats as well since some plants are dangerous to kitties.
8. Add Shine to Hair
"Coffee grounds can add shine to your hair and condition it naturally. Work the grounds into clean, wet hair and massage for a few minutes, then rinse"…more
9. Coffee and Cocoa Face Mask
The duo decreases puffiness in the face and the eye area while brightening skin. This easy DIY recipe utilizes old coffee grounds in addition to common kitchen items. Get the recipe here.
10. Hide Furniture Scratches
Do you have some dark wood furniture with a small ding or scratch? Try dipping a cotton swab into steeped grounds and dabbing it onto the scratch. It should take the harshness away from the mark. I would encourage you to test this first on a small spot.
*Please note that Coffee Grounds will become moldy within a few weeks if you store them damp. You can lay them on paper towel to dry before you store them. If you are going to be using it for the garden this step is often unnecessary.

Local Vets For Dogs The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Florida
When you bring a dog into your life, you are responsible from that day forward for his dog nutrition, dog safety, dog health and dog care. If possible, introduce the veterinarian to your dog in a casual, friendly manner—long before you go for a visit. If your pet needs an overnight stay at the practice, ask whether there'll be a member of staff on site monitoring them continuously. Some vets provide extra services, like puppy training and obedience classes, which can be really helpful. Once you've found a practice you like, request a meeting with a veterinarian there to discuss any questions you have.
When Should You Take Your New Puppy To The The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Florida Local Vets For Dogs?
To find the right vet in The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Florida 32550 requires the same patience and diligence that you would devote to finding any other kind of professional — a pediatrician, dentist, real estate agent, or plumber. Also, the owner needs to trust that the vet has the dog's best interests at heart and has to be prepared to follow his recommendations. Equally, if an owner does not feel confident in the diagnosis or treatment decided upon by their vet, they should discuss this with him and seek a second opinion, or referral, if necessary. Make sure that you choose a practice that offers preventive care treatments like vaccinations and regular checkups.
If owners feel they are unhappy with some aspect of the care they or their pet has received, they may wish to make a complaint. When choosing a vet, you're not just looking for someone with exceptional medical skills, but also for someone with excellent people skills who understands you and your pet. Don't rule out an older looking hospital – a fancy new facility doesn't always guarantee that your pet will also get top-of-the line medical care. These things will be assigned different weight by different individuals but at some level they play a part in everyone's decision making process.
Find local vets near you:
How much does it cost to take your pet to the The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Florida vet?
Once you have narrowed your list and considered how you will be trans- porting your pet to the vet and factored in their location and its convenience, give them a call. If an over the phone quote doesn't include pre-surgical blood testing, intravenous fluids, and pain medication, then you may be a little shocked when you get the bill at the end that does. Veterinarians in The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Florida often work with a team of professionals, including technicians and qualified support staff, so you'll likely want to evaluate the entire vet team's competence and caring. While it's true that most pets don't love going to see the veterinarian, you want to make sure to give your pet the most pleasant experience possible.
If you really detest waiting, schedule early appointments and try to avoid Mondays and Saturdays, which generally tend to be busier days filled with emergencies. Vets who give out their personal number or are responsive via email is often a fantastic sign because this means that they are often willing to go above and beyond to help your pet. Do they need just routine care, or do they have a special condition that will require a different level of care? And knowing whether they have a method of monitoring overnight patients will give you peace of mind if your pet needs to be admitted to the surgery.
How often do you need to take your dog to the The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Florida vet?
Just like a mother with an infant, you want to be sure that the veterinarian is close-by in case an emergency arises. It is okay to ask your future vet for credentials as well as the length of time he/she has been practicing or in the field. For instance, if you work during the day you may only be able to visit the vet in the evening, so you need to know if they will be open when you need them. An industry first, it ensures the quick and efficient processing of claims without the need for laborious and time consuming paperwork. You may opt to just schedule a routine wellness exam so you and your dog can meet the Walton County, Florida veterinarian and decide from there if you wish to keep going to that clinic.
Make sure you're happy with the cost too, as vet's charges can vary wildly – check your budget before you sign anything. Aside from being the number one independent source of pet owner reviews, you can be sure that all our reviews are genuine having been subject to rigorous moderation prior to publication. Whilst accreditation is no absolute guarantee of anything it does provide a clue that the practice is committed to continuous improvement and the obtaining of an externally recognized quality standard. Once you have an idea of what you need in veterinary practice, it's time to do your research.

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
Tanisha O.
Tuesday, October 22, 2013
By: Tanisha Owens
After losing my brother in 2006 to a stroke and my best friend having one in 2007, I was still being hard headed about taking my meds daily. I was in bed watching television when a strange feeling came over me. I got up and told my mom I wasn't feeling right. She asked me had I taken a pain pill because I suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis. I told her yes and she said maybe it was from that. So I laid down for a minute but I still wasn't feeling right. I don't know what made me do it, but I got my laptop out and looked up stroke symptoms. I did really have any of them until I saw the one about raising your arms and legs. Well I raised my arms first and they were fine but when I raised my legs I couldn't keep my right leg up. I did this about two times or three times and it keep coming down. I told my mom that I thought I was having a stroke, and she asked me why I felt like that. After I explained it to her, she rushed me to the emergency room. After a couple of test the doctor came in and told me that I had a mini stroke. I was in the hospital for a week, and in rehab for two weeks. I don't know what made me get on that computer that night but I'm so glad I listened to my inner voice.

Southwest Bypass
Monday, December 04, 2006
The Department of Transportation Team has made it's selection from the three potential routes for the Southwest Bypass. The route selected - Corridor 4 - will connect N.C. 11 south of Ayden with the U.S. 264 Bypass in Greenville. This corridor swings farther west than the other two options and bypasses Greenville, Winterville and Ayden. The Bypass will supposedly relieve growing congestion on Memorial Drive while having the least impact on homes, wetlands and streams. It will however impact approximately 120 acres of the Renston Historic District and 42 homes.

I've just discovered that I can vote up answers given to my own questions that I have chosen as the right answer.
Isn't it redundant?
If not, what criteria do I need to consider, to vote up/down, or not to vote the answer I've chosen.
An answer could just solve your problem and leave it at that. It would qualify as a correct answer.
An answer could solve your problem, explain where you went wrong, provide ways to avoid ending up there, link you to external resources, explain the solution, provide alternatives, .....
This would also qualify as a correct answer, but would pretty much force you to up-vote it as well :)
EDIT : The two answers to this question are an excellent example of what I am talking about.
The bottom line is that you decide what criteria you use to upvote. Just for a bit of perspective, here is what I do.
My general criteria for accepting an answer: If I post a question and someone posts an answer that directly solves my problem, I accept. If someone posts an answer that leads me to discover the solution and there are no direct solutions provided, I accept. If there's a tie between two equally good answers, I accept based on timestamp typically.
My general criteria for upvoting an answer: If someone posts an answer that is useful in some meaningful way, I upvote. "Some meaningful way" is somewhat vague, but I generally tend to value posts that either teach me something, or have the potential to teach something to future readers.
Not infrequently I see questions along the lines of a straightforward compiler error, asking something like "what is the right syntax here?" A perfectly valid and accept-worth answer in my view would be to simply provide the correct syntax and nothing more. A much better answer would be to provide not just the syntax but also an explanation of why the syntax is needed, maybe some historical perspective, and insight as to why the original syntax was wrong and the correct syntax was right. In my view the first answer would be worthy of an accept but no upvote (if there are no better answers), whereas the latter would be worthy of an upvote as well.
In this way I don't see the two as 100% redundant, but then again I think I have never accepted an answer and not upvoted it.

I love Thanksgiving! Blake and I typically don't go home for Thanksgiving and usually host our friends and/or people that can't get home to their families. This is the first year that our gathering will be on the smaller side, just four of us. We have two of our friends coming over (normally we have anywhere from eight to twelve people) and I'm looking forward to a more intimate dinner. I'm so excited because it afforded me to be a little more extravagant and creative on my table setting. The last few evenings, I shined the silverware, ironed the napkins, washed the plates and got everything ready so that tomorrow won't be so stressful. I found these great plates on sale at Sur La Table. They had a green acorn print on them and I thought it would be a little different than the traditional orange, yellow, and burgundy. I used mason jars (it took me five stores to find them) with mixed filler from the grocery store (they matched my plates perfectly) and made my own bouquets. For the tablecloth, I went to Joanne's Fabrics and bought several yards of burlap and put it over a table cloth to give the table a more rustic feel. I got this great idea for the mixed nuts from a regular blogger I read and I'm having a brain fart right now and can't remember where I just read it…PLEASE! forgive me? Post to my blog so I can credit you. I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving with your friends and families. I'm thankful for all my new friends and bloggers I have met. Your all so talented and inspiring! See below what I cooked up for the table for tomorrow. I'll post on Friday what we had for din din!
Table Setting Items
Tablecloth: Burlap Fabric from Joanne's Fabric Store
Mixed Nuts: Von's Grocery Store
Vases: Mason Jars from Michaels
Flowers: Filler from Von's bought separately and made my own bouquet
Acorn Plates: Sur La Table
Leaf Plates: Pottery Barn
Green Glasses: Home Goods
Chargers: Borrowed from my friend Nick (believe she got them at Cost Plus)
Silverware: Mikasa
French White Steak Knives: Home Goods
What are you thankful for?

NZ Uni to start demolishing brewery in June
Property Here - Tuesday, April 23, 2013
The University of Auckland is going ahead with its purchase of the former Lion Breweries site in Newmarket and will begin demolishing many of the old brewery facilities in June.
New Zealand's biggest tertiary organisation announced a proposal last September to purchase the 5.2ha site following a period of due diligence.
"The due diligence process has now been completed and the University of Auckland Council have confirmed the acquisition of the site, effective 31 May 2013," the University said it in a statement today.
The acquisition was part of a long-term strategy "to create a mixed use campus, with purpose-built teaching and research facilities, student accommodation, business development and other facilities".
Eventually, the university would consolidate its activities at the City, Grafton and Newmarket campuses. Epsom would shift to the City Campus while Tamaki would shift to Newmarket.
The university said work would begin on demolishing many of the old brewery facilities as soon as it took possession of the site in June.
Its first projects will be the total refurbishment of some existing buildings and the construction of a new civil structures hall.
"This work will be a prelude to the extensive refurbishment and new build of the Faculty of Engineering facilities on the City Campus at a cost in the region of $200m," it said.
Development of the site would have "major implications" for Newmarket in in the future.
"The number of people living, or commuting into, Newmarket will at least double over time.
"This influx will affect transport decisions, residential housing, infrastructure, amenities - and, of course, the business direction of Newmarket."
AMP tried to buy the site last decade for about $160 million but ditched those plans when the global financial crisis hit, leaving Lion with the land, after the brewery and food business shifted its hub to South Auckland.

DETROIT - A Grosse Pointe Park man who authorities say tried to hire a hit man to kill someone charged with his wife's murder has pleaded guilty.
Bob Bashara had been charged with solicitation to commit murder.
In court on Thursday, the 54-year-old said he "foolishly and regrettably" had offered to pay a man to find someone to kill Joe Gentz.
Gentz is the only person who faces murder charges in the death of Bob Bashara's wife Jane Bashara.
Jane Bashara was found dead Jan. 25 in the back of her sports utility vehicle in a Detroit alley, one day after her husband had reported her missing.
Gentz is charged with first-degree murder.
Bob Bashara was slated to go to trial on the charge in November. He will now be sentenced on Nov. 20. He is facing up to life in prison.
Sources say Gentz has told investigators he was forced to kill the Grosse Pointe Park mother under the order of her husband.

Tomorrow I'll give my last pep talk to the entrepreneurs at Le Camping in Paris, before going into coaching mode for their pitches for Investor Day next week.
My message will be clear and simple. Be worth talking about. Be memorable.
It doesn't matter how good a pitch is. If it's not memorable or worth talking about, it will be quickly forgotten.
Oscar Wilde understood this. "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about."
Not being talked about is the worst thing that can happen to an entrepreneur on Investor Day. Being talked about for whatever reason is an excuse to have a conversation with an investor. So I'll ask them to find something that investors will want to talk to them about afterwards. After all, the pitch is just the hook to make investors want to know more.
If they can't find anything, maybe they need to think about more than just their pitch.

Charlie Sheen says he's ready, willing and TOTALLY DOWN to play Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn in another "Major League" sequel ... as long as the powers that be will greenlight a script.
Sheen just appeared on "TMZ Live" -- where he told us he's doing everything in his power to get a "Major League 3" movie on the big screen.
FYI -- Charlie knows the 1998 movie "Major League: Back to the Minors" is technically considered "ML3" ... but Sheen considers that movie an "abortion" -- and doesn't think it should be counted with the rest of the series.
CNBC's Darren Rovell solicited possible subtitles for the new "Major League" on his twitter. Vote for your favorite (right).

D'Souza bolsters his Obama "anti-colonial" theory by just making stuff up
Blog ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Yesterday I brought you Dinesh D'Souza's charmingly nonsensical theory that "anti-colonial" Barack Obama expresses his anti-French attitude by courting the adulation of the French people. This "anti-colonial" garbage forms the -- ahem -- "intellectual" backbone for D'Souza's ridiculous new book, The Roots of Obama's Rage. Today, we'll explore how D'Souza, in supporting his "anti-colonial" theory, employs the time-honored scholarly techniques of making stuff up and brazenly lying.
On page 47 of The Roots of Obama's Rage, D'Souza takes on Obama's response to the Gulf oil spill, which he calls "lethargic." According to D'Souza [emphasis added]:
Finally, addressing the TV cameras on May 14, 2010, Obama managed to work up some enthusiasm. Time and again he condemned "British Petroleum" -- an interesting term since the company long ago changed its name to BP. Given our anti-colonial theory, it's no surprise that Obama wanted to remind Americans of what BP used to stand for. He was equally outspoken in whacking the other oil companies for their "ridiculous spectacle" of "pointing fingers of blame."
Here's the transcript of Obama's May 14 remarks. Guess how many times Obama says "British Petroleum."
Zero. Not once.
But don't take my word for it. Here's the video of Obama's remarks -- not one utterance of "British Petroleum."
D'Souza completely fabricated it. But even if it were true and Obama said "British Petroluem" over and over -- so what? They're a British company. If Obama had set fire to a Union Jack each time he said it, then D'Souza might have been on to something, but as it is he doesn't really have a point, regardless of how you look at it.
And that doesn't even matter because Obama didn't say "British Petroleum."
UPDATE: It's not President Obama, but I did manage to turn up a dastardly "anti-colonial" who actually did attack "British Petroleum" on May 14 and castigated the oil companies for "playing the blame game" and "pointing fingers at one another":

BTExplorer - a powerful and user-friendly Bluetooth application for Windows CE and Windows Mobile based devices. BTExplorer can provide rich stand-alone Bluetooth functionality via its flexible user interface or it can be extended and configured to act as a component of a larger Bluetooth-enabled solution. Because BTExplorer is based on Stonestreet One's industry-leading Bluetopia Bluetooth protocol stack your device is ensured extensive profile support and broad device interoperability. With complete Bluetooth specification version 2.1 support BTExplorer provides all the latest Bluetooth features and capabilities including the new Secure Simple Pairing security model.
Key Features of BT Explorer
BTExplorer provides an fully integrated Bluetooth experience for all major Bluetooth profiles including Hands Free/Headset, Advanced (Stereo) Audio, A/V Remote Control, File/Object Transfer, Dial-up Networking, Personal Area Networking (PAN), HID Devices (Mouse and Keyboard), Contact and Calendar Synchronization, Serial Port access, and more. Each profile works intelligently with the operating system to provide a fluid user experience and workflow.
BTExplorer for Windows Mobile also adds extended Bluetooth capabilities for many Windows Mobile applications and features. BTExplorer is fully integrated with Wireless Manager/Flight Mode functionality and supports all Bluetooth capabilities required for the Windows Mobile Logo Test Kit. Stereo audio from any program can be sent to a wireless headset and the A/V Remote Control Profile can be used to control Windows Media Player (play/pause/etc). Pocket Outlook Contacts and Calendars can be synchronized over Bluetooth, and Hands-Free/Headset device support is integrated to the Microsoft Dialer application.
BTExplorer's default Wizard Mode view provides an intuitive step-by-step flow that makes it easy to discover and explore Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and make connections to those services. These connections can be saved for future use and BTExplorer can manage 'trust' relationships with frequently used Bluetooth devices. Custom icons indicate the device class (type) as well as available profiles and services. The optional Explorer mode can be used to manage Bluetooth devices in a tree view style hierarchy useful for managing many devices simultaneously.
BTExplorer has an intuitive settings interface that allows configuration of many Bluetooth options including security policies, selecting and configuring local profiles, device visibility settings, and more. Flexible provisioning options allow each device to be setup with pre-configured permissions, profile options, and settings appropriate for any scenario. Profile access and even device selection can be limited so BTExplorer only works in its intended capacity for a given use case.
BTExplorer also includes the BTExplorer API; a real-time interface that lets third-party applications initiate connections, provision device favorites, and manage on-going connections. A powerful serial port based interface allows custom applications to send and receive Bluetooth data via standard serial port stream interfaces. BTExplorer can be configured to create outgoing Bluetooth connections when a serial port is opened and multiple virtual serial ports can be used simultaneous with different devices and services. The API and virtual comm. ports form a powerful framework that can be used to build custom Bluetooth solutions or Bluetooth-enable existing applications easily.
BTExplorer Supports Multiple Devices
BTExplorer is available for Windows Mobile (WM5, WM6.1) and Windows CE (CE5, CE6) platforms and can run using internal Bluetooth modules or externally connected modules. BTExplorer can interface to any Bluetooth module or chipset via USB or UART/RS-232 with both H4 and CSR BCSP protocols supported. BTExplorer can work with an Bluetooth version chipset and will adapt its features to the appropriate version (up to 2.1 + EDR). BTExplorer, via the Bluetopia protocol stack, can be configured to load custom firmware for Bluetooth chipsets, perform vendor specific intiailization, and handle other custom actions. BTExplorer integrates with the Bluetopia stack to provide complete power management handling and can be configured for a variety of Bluetooth chipset power related behaviors.

New Storytelling Festival "Nourishes the Community's Lifeblood" – VIDEO
by Greg Wright
Over 340 guests showed up at PowellsWood Garden on Dash Point Road July 14 to sample some seventeen total hours of storytelling from ten different storytellers, and everyone seemed delighted with the variety of remarkable storytelling they experienced. Something for all ages, and every taste.
Federal Way Mirror journalist Andy Hobbs described the festival as a fairy tale come true, "an opportunity for Federal Way to sample culture and nature, right here at home. PowellsWood gave people across the region a good reason to visit and play. Most importantly, the festival nourished the community's lifeblood."
On Friday, July 13, around 450 daycamp children and leaders also tromped into the gardens to sit in the shade of an awning (one hundred at a time) and listen to three tellers wow them with tales.
The term most used by adults and children alike was… magical!
The organizers expect this to become an annual event. Follow the website for updates.

I have lived in the South Wales Valleys since I was born, A friend of mine bought me a camera for my birthday a few years ago, a Canon Powershot and I haven't let the dust settle on it yet.
I bought an old touring caravan a few years ago and sited it at a caravan park just outside the Tenby area, only 5min walk across the field straight onto the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, which leads me down to Lydstep beach which is perfect as I have a border collie dog called Taffy which drags me everywhere and has accompanied me on my travels. That,s when I started to explore the Tenby and Pembrokeshire coastal paths leading me to unknown beaches and beautiful, picturesque scenery, I get great pleasure in sharing my photos and I hope you enjoy them as I do value your opinion.

Please forgive my listing more than one; my brain has a lot of odd cracks where things get stuck.
I'm always fascinated by songs that get stuck in my head, as there seems to be little rhyme or reason - they tend to be good, but aren't always; and they tend to be melodic, but aren't always. For example, the Fate/Stay Night game opening (same song, but done much better than the anime OP1) was stuck in my head for months, but I could never justify a rating above C++. I think it had something to do with the very high-pitched vocals Note that what I list below have ratings inflated beyond what I initially gave them on technical merit, because I boost songs that get stuck in my head.
Recently stuck in my head, mainly because they are in my current playlist:
(Rating): (Name) by (Group/Singer), (Anime). (Description)
~Vocal~ (rating scale F- to A+, nm=nonmusical)
C+: Tears for I by ?, from Memories Off (maybe an image song?). No real melody, not very pretty singing, boring instrumentals. Very high vocals, funny engrish. Honestly, it's not a very good song, but I love listening to it and I have no idea why. For several weeks I kept getting a sudden urge to hear it.
C++: Hachimitsu by Spitz, Honey and Clover insert. I don't much care for any of his others, and this is pretty much in the same style, but it stuck in my ears like honey Generally I don't care for Japanese male vocals.
C+++: Saikyou OX Keikaku by MOSAIC.WAV, Sumomomomomo OP1. Distinctive repeating melody. Upbeat.
B-: Never Land by Day After Tomorrow. Weak melody, strong rhythm, and 'coarse' vocals. Not really pretty. I have no idea what I like about it, but it got stuck in my head for about a month.
B/nm: Lui si chiama... by Nanri Yuuka, Gunslinger Girl image song. Not a single coherent song, with no overall melody, and som nonmusical parts, but the vocals and violins are very high and pretty. In fact, I only really like the second half of it, but I still couldn't stop listening to and thinking about it.
B: Reason by Nami Tamaki. Distinctive repeating melody. Upbeat.
B: Beautiful Story by Inoue Marina, Getsumen To Heiki Mina ED (I have not seen the anime). Very repetitious, strong beat, short melody; vocals are not particularly high or pretty. But I had to keep listening over and over for a week.
B: Yume no Tsubasa by Makino Yui, Tsubasa Chronicle (image song?). High (and also low/coarse) vocals. Boring and simple melody. Ugly background voices. But it has some strangely addicting quality. Lots of engrish.
B: KISEKI no HITO by (characters) Marie and Aria, Sister Princess Kaleidoscope album track 07. This track is haunting and utterly unlike the dozens of other Sister Princess songs (except Silent Moon), which are cutesy, upbeat, and bouncy. It would be more appropriate for a depressing horror/drama. No distinctive melody. High vocals. Slow, disharmonic, and weak beat.
B: Make You Smile by Tange Sakura. Kawaii~ The start is permanently engrained in me: "Ah, itsumo itsudemo; kira kira shitai!"
B+: Be Your Girl by Chieco Kawabe, Elfen Lied ED. Absolutely not the typical anime music I like and totally incongruous in the context of Elfen Lied (though the meaning is utterly perfect). Strong beat, strong (but simple) melody, uninteresting (typical rock) instrumentals, but nice vocals, awesome lyrics (from a purely musical perspective, ignoring the meaning), and seamless english that actually makes sense.
B+: Sakuragi no Sasayaki by Kazusa Murai, Tokimeki Memorial 2 image song. This was stuck in my head for over a year! Very pretty melody, very high and pure vocals supported by primarily piano and synth.
B+: A Couple of Wishes (Full Version) by Nakayama Sara and Asano Masumi, DNAngel (image song?). Slow, sad, alternating duet with instruments playing second fiddle (excuse the pun) to the vocals. The song itself was not "stuck in my head", since it has a weak melody, but... well, the desire to hear it would spontaneously arise.
B+: BRAVE HEARTs by Tamura Yukari, Lyrical Nanoha As SS1. Nice rich vocals and cute engrish! Vocal melody and melodic instrumental interludes. Sounds 'hopeful'.
B+: Kimi no Sora Ni by Mizuhashi Kaori, Lyrical Nanoha SS3. Very upbeat, strongly melodic with nice high vocals.
A-: Stories by Hitomi, Code Geass OST track 2. Beautiful, slow, high female choral piece. I didn't remember it from the series (I have not seen all of it), but after I heard it on the OST my ears demanded more! Weak melody with strong harmonies.
A- and A: Baby Love and Yakusoku by Kadowaki Mai & Noto Mamiko & Takahashi Mikako, Kyou no 5-2 OP and ED. Pretty high vocals, and pretty instrumentals in the ED. Both (especially the ED) have strong melodies. OP is upbeat (with engrish!), ED is sad.
A/nm: Biancaneve bruno by Eri Sendai, Gunslinger Girl image song. Not even a single coherent piece of music, and yet and I couldn't stop listening to it for a month. Beautiful, super-high vocals. No single melody, and contains nonmusical parts. There are in fact 4 great tracks on this album and you should obtain it if at all possible!
A: Musouka by Suara, Utawarerumono OP. Beautiful song; I wish I had a version with the swords clashing at the beginning. Pretty voice and high vocals, with a strong melody.
A: Sekka no Shinwa by KOTOKO, track 2 on Shana OP2 single (and I like it MUCH more than the actual OP2!) No distinctive melodic theme, but very upbeat. Nice rhymes.
A: Link by Ishige Sawa, Pani Poni Dash! image song. Strong enough melody to whistle easily. Not upbeat. Some Engrish.
A: Hishoku no Sora by Kawada Mami, Shakugan no Shana OP1. High vocals, and no instrumental melody (vocal only). Pretty (but sparse) piano work. Nice rhymes.
Honorable Mention: Demonbane ED, TV-size. I dislike the long version and can't find the TV cut anywhere
~Instrumental~ (rating scale BGM-- to BGM++)
BGM++: Shin no Setsuri ni Idomu mono Tachi - Mawotatsu ken ha Imada Ore zu by Masatoshi Ono, Demonbane OST. Very interesting synthesized panflute work makes for a great battle track.
BGM++: Serieux by Ootani Kou, from Shakugan no Shana OST. Most distinctive theme, that gets your adrenaline going.
BGM+: Mirai no Haruka by Hikaru Nanase. A haunting and distinctive melody, perfectly fitting the sad inevitabilities of Noein. Primarily violins backed by piano.
BGM+: Shinrai no Theme by Nishida Masara, Bakuretsu Tenshi OST (only seen 1 ep). All (or mostly) synthesized, and very unusual; reminiscent of the best old 8- and 16-bit video games.
BGM+: The Decisive battle of Fate by Sakai Ryou, Soukou no Strain OST. A strong, upbeat melody makes this the most memorable instrumental piece from Strain. Don't listen to it in the car if you're trying to stay below the speed limit!
Anyway, I recommend all of these regardless of their 'grade', because they have a strange addictiveness that transcends their quality. Except for the 'A' and 'BGM++' pieces, which are just addictive because they're damn good. And even though this list is already too long, I didn't stop because I ran out of songs that are/were stuck in my head...

I know I am a little late to nominate this song. I wasn't particularly fond of the TV size of this track which was playing in this show. The whole track just blew me away . Yes the whole track is way better

Bloody Hell...
For a while it was "Guri Guri" by Sato Hiromi. Nowadays it cycles between Yuria's "You" (Shuffle!), Ali Project's "Kinjirareta Asobi" (Rozen Maiden), "Sketch Switch" (from Hidamari Sketch, sung by the cast), and Lia's "Tori no Shi" (Air). I think my mind has worked out some kind of sadistic schedule, because they seem to be a wheel, each day forcing me to repeat a different song.

After spending my Bank Holiday Monday enjoying a Pani Poni Dash marathon I've fallen in love with Momotsuki Gakuen Ichinen C Gumi's 'Roulette * Roulette', easily one of the most enjoyable anime themes ever. Maho!

Tristesse by Kou Otani and Souffrance by Kou Otani. Both from Assorted Shana Vol. 1. Those songs are very "heavy" but I like their bittersweet melody. Well, I like Kou Otani's works in general.

This question already has an answer here:
I am a physics undergrad, and need to study differential geometry ASAP to supplement my studies on solitons and instantons. How much topology do I need to know. I know some basic concepts reading from the Internet on topological spaces, connectedness, compactness, metric, quotient Hausdorff spaces. Do I need to go deeper? Also, could you suggest me some chapters from topology textbooks to brush up this knowledge. Could you please also suggest a good differential geometry books that covers diff. geom. needed in physics in sufficient detail, but not too mathematical? I heard some names such as Nakahara, Fecko, Spivak. How are these?

Every person, regardless of age or health, is responsible for his or her own physical activity. There are far more reasons to exercise than excuses not to.
Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) April 26, 2012
Health advocates and public officials around the world are getting it, with growing movements on six continents. In the U.S., with alarming increases in chronic diseases and consternation over health care costs, many see the Exercise is Medicine® initiative as part of the solution.
That philosophy is the seed for Exercise is Medicine Month, observed during National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. During May, communities throughout the U.S. will hold activities that recognize that physical activity and exercise – shown to help prevent and treat more than 40 chronic diseases – should be part of everyone's health care plan. Since 2008, Exercise is Medicine Month has been proclaimed by mayors, governors, Congress and the President. Individuals and organizations of all kinds, from youth groups to universities, churches, fitness centers, corporations and hospitals, hold events aimed at keeping people active and healthy.
Online toolkit
The EIM Month toolkit provides resources for those who want to promote healthy lifestyles in their communities or organizations, including:
- Sample language for proclamations by mayors, governors or other officials
- Letter to the Editor to be sent to local newspapers
- Exercise is Medicine Month fact sheet and background material
- Social media messages to be shared through Facebook and Twitter
Though Exercise is Medicine® is a global initiative, Exercise is Medicine Month is a grassroots, community-based phenomenon. Families and advocates – anyone who "gets it" – are empowered to encourage healthy lifestyles and help make physical activity part of everyone's health care plan. From physicians who prescribe exercise to public officials seeking to control health care costs to parents who want to keep their kids healthy, EIM Month is a time to put into action what research has shown to be true.
"Everyone should start or renew an exercise program now as an investment in life-long health," said Robert E. Sallis, M.D., FACSM, chair of Exercise is Medicine. "Every person, regardless of age or health, is responsible for his or her own physical activity. There are far more reasons to exercise than excuses not to."
Observe Exercise is Medicine Month by taking these important steps:
Physicians: Talk with every patient about exercise and, as appropriate, refer them to a health fitness professional. Counseling them on the benefits of physical activity and what it can do for their long-term health and well-being is critical and should be a standard part of your practice.
Patients: Ask a few questions about your health status the next time you visit your doctor. Are you at a healthy weight? Taking your current health status into consideration, what types of exercise are best and safest for you? Is there a certified trainer or registered dietician you should visit to improve your health?
Parents: Give your children the gift of lifelong wellness by being a role model and supporting them in establishing a habit of lifelong physical activity. Have fun being active as a family.
About Exercise is Medicine®
Exercise is Medicine® is an initiative focused on encouraging primary care physicians and other health care providers to include exercise when designing treatment plans for patients. Exercise is Medicine is committed to the belief that exercise and physical activity are integral to the prevention and treatment of chronic disease and should be regularly assessed as part of medical care. Along with the National Physical Activity Plan, Exercise is Medicine strives to make physical activity a "vital sign" that is routinely assessed at every patient interaction with a health care provider.
The guiding principles of Exercise is Medicine, a multi-organizational initiative coordinated by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), are designed to improve the health and well-being of our nation through a regular physical activity prescription from doctors and other health care providers, or from a health and fitness professional working with the health care provider. The guiding principles are as follows:
- Exercise and physical activity are important to health and the prevention and treatment of many chronic diseases.
- More should be done to address physical activity and exercise in health care settings.
- Multi-organizational efforts to bring a greater focus on physical activity and exercise in health care settings are to be encouraged.
Physical inactivity is a fast-growing public health problem and contributes to a variety of chronic diseases and health complications, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, depression and anxiety, arthritis, and osteoporosis. In addition to improving a patient's overall health, increasing physical activity has proven effective in the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases. Therefore, Exercise is Medicine® calls on each person and all partners dedicated to the idea that exercise truly is medicine to continue to build, support and advocate for physical activity as essential for global health and wellbeing by committing to action. Policy makers are called to change policy to support physical activity as a vital sign for health. Health care providers and fitness professionals are called to integrate exercise into every patient and client interaction. Communities, workplaces and schools are called to promote physical activity as an essential part of health and wellbeing.

Jeff Scott is a modern agriculture pioneer. Scott and a handful of other progressive farmers were bold enough to place their land and operating funds on the line to help establish winter canola in the Southern Plains.
Winter canola, a genetically-enhanced crop, was developed as a Land Grant University agronomist's searched for a better way to combat a serious weed problem in winter wheat production in the Southern Plains states.
Dr. Tom Peeper, Oklahoma State University weed scientist, was looking for a better way to remove persistent weeds from winter wheat continuously cropped for decades.
Almost ten years ago, Peeper asked Scott and other willing wheat farmers to help grow enough acres to prove canola would control weed problems when grown commercially over a large area in big wheat country.
Scott, who farms near Pond Creek, Okla., believed Peeper's research and realized the wheat he harvested was losing money when because of unwanted weed seed. Developed from spring canola varieties widely grown in Canada and northern U.S. farms, the first varieties had winter survival problems, were in short supply and had literally no place to be marketed successfully.
More research yielded better varieties with improved winter hardiness, better yielding qualities and a genetic ability to tolerate chemical weed control.
Scott is a founder and president of the Great Plains Canola Association, a farmer cooperative dedicated to promoting canola production in that area. He also serves with the U.S. Canola Association, the national organization for all U.S. canola production.
50/50 rotation
This year, Scott planted 1,500 acres of winter canola along with 1,500 acres of winter wheat. While it is common for wheat farmers to rotate winter canola with wheat in a one-to-three or one-to-four ratio of canola to wheat, Scott started planting half of his acres to canola and the other half to wheat, rotating each year.
"I had pretty well cleaned up the weeds in my wheat fields," Scott said, "but recently, I began to find a lot of rye in the wheat I planted. I started the 50/50 canola-wheat rotation to get rid of the rye as quickly as possible."
Scott planted three canola varieties this year with most of his acres in DKW 4410 and 4615, both Roundup Ready varieties. The rest of his canola acreage is planted with Cropland 125.
Scott is a true believer in no-till farming.
"I have been practicing no-till for 13 years now," he said. "We are just now seeing the real benefits of no-till practices pay off for us. Rotating canola with winter wheat in a no-till operation is a natural so far as I am concerned. I have seen our fields increase in productivity during the last decade. There is less water runoff, less soil erosion and soil nutrients are retained better with no-till farming."
No-till production
Scott's no-till program includes corn, milo and some hay production, he said.
While there is some fear of a pending drought in the near future in Scott's general area, overall, he has adequate soil moisture.
"We can always use another rain," Scott said. "My wheat and canola are holding their own. Both crops got a good start at planting time and are growing well now. Most of my canola has reached dormancy with colder weather. I believe it is at the right stage, with continuing rainfall, to start growing good in the spring."
Scott puts down 80 to 100 pounds of anhydrous ammonia nitrogen per acre in the fall for canola. He uses knives to place it eight to 10 inches deep in the soil. In January, he will apply 30 to 50 pounds of nitrogen plus 20 to 30 pounds of sulfur and one-half pound of boron per acre to boost the crop.
"I am a real believer in using boron to increase canola productivity," he said. "We have seen in controlled tests where a half-pound of boron will improve canola's winter hardiness."
Last year, applying boron increased canola yield an extra 15 bushels per acre in one field, he said.
Producers Cooperative Oil Mill, at Oklahoma City, Okla., has provided Southern Plains canola growers with a reliable market for their crop.
Scott believes in the future of winter canola as an important cash crop that can help winter wheat growers combat persistent weeds that depreciate wheat prices. "We like the combination of a new crop that helps us agronomically and financially," he said.

Guess Which Of These Three BuzzFeed Stories Is An Ad
BuzzFeed recently posted a few stories about Sony's PlayStation 4.
Some were sponsored by Sony, and others were written by BuzzFeed staffers, Andrew Sullivan of The Dish reports.
BuzzFeed clearly states if a post is sponsored on the article page itself. But once you're on a sponsored post page, it's not very clear if the additional content it's promoting in the sidebar is sponsored or not, Sullivan writes.
Take a look at the screenshot below, and try to guess which of the "Top Posts" are sponsored by Sony.
It turns out that they're all sponsored posts.
"Once you slip into the advertorial vortex at Buzzfeed, everything that is advertizing appears as non-advertizing," Sullivan writes. "Just keep clicking. When you're on Buzzfeed proper (if that's the right term), the sponsored posts are delineated, ethically, as I noted above, by an off-white color background that subtly makes them different and an acknowledgment of the sponsor."

NeNe Leakes had a health scare, yes, but it wasn't a heart attack, the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star said Tuesday.
"My arms are hurting wit these IV's #blessedtobealive," the reality TV star and actress tweeted Monday with a photo of her arms laden with tubing and tape.
On Tuesday, the 45-year-old clarified the situation with a post on her official website.
"Late last week I wasn't feeling well and was feeling a little short of breath. I know my body and I know when I should be concerned so I went to the hospital to get checked out," Leakes wrote.
After some routine tests, she said, she was diagnosed with blood clots in her lung. "I'm told this happened to me because of the constant traveling around the country that I do for my job."
In addition to "RHOA," Leakes plays Coach Roz on Fox's "Glee" and appeared on NBC's "The New Normal."
"I'm thankful to be alive," she continued, "as the doctor advised me that most people don't recognize the symptoms of blood clots and don't go to the doctor and that's when the big problems start happening."
She thanked the doctors and nurses who'd been taking care of her, and noted that she was currently home with her two-time husband, Gregg Leakes. She also refuted erroneous reports that she'd suffered a heart attack.
One danger of a blood clot in the lung is the possibility of a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal, according to WebMD.
By the way, the little bit who climbed up in bed with "Glam'ma" for the second hospital picture is Bri'Asia, the daughter of NeNe's son Bryant.

While you may not be thinking about ice cream as the winter approaches, if you're a true ice cream lover, or if you know a diehard ice cream fan – then you know that the holiday season is the best time of year to get ice cream gifts.
So what should you buy for that ice cream lover on your list? Here are my top choices.
1. A Professional Ice Cream Maker
Ice Cream Lovers everywhere would love it if their loved ones would buy them this BMW-model of ice cream makers. Yes, it's nearly $700, but it's the best automatic freezing ice cream maker – professional style you can buy.
2. An Automatic Freezing Ice Cream Maker
Ok, so you may not be able to afford the top ice cream maker, but the Lello Automatic Ice Cream Maker is pretty darn good for $200.
3. Regular Ice Cream Maker with freezable bowls
These ice cream makers require that you pre-freeze the bowls (meaning you have to have 24 hours advanced notice to make ice cream.) For the better model get this Cuisinart for around $40. For a bargain, the Hamilton Beach soft serve ice cream maker works well for $25.
4. Ice Cream Container
This cute little ice cream container holds homemade ice cream and allows you to transport it more easily without freezing.
5. Zoku Quick Pop Popsicle Maker
The Zoku Quick Pop Maker is a great choice.
6. An awesome ice cream scoop, spoon, spade or set of bowls
We recently compiled the top ice cream scoops, best ice cream spoons and spoon straws, cutest ice cream bowls, best cream chargers and whippers, and best ice cream spades. Any of these would make a great gift.
Enjoy the holiday season! Let me know if you want any help customizing a gift for the ice cream lover in your family…
