The cacophony starts before the first light of dawn, like an agitated rooster. It doesn't quit until after the last bar in this hardworking town has stopped serving.
"I'm George W. Bush and I approved this message."
"John Kerry offers a fresh start . . . "
"I'm not a big fan of Bush, but what's Kerry gonna do for me?"
Just about anywhere Toledoans turn their television dials these days, another commercial for the presidential campaign is on the screen. They interrupt "Jeopardy!" and "The Bachelor," the soap operas and the 6 o'clock news. A curiosity when they began to trickle onto the air back in March, the ads now tumble forth in a relentless parade of persuasion.
Between March and late September, 14,273 commercials about the presidential race aired on Toledo's four leading TV stations, according to the ad tracking firm TNSI/Campaign Media Analysis Group of Arlington. That number makes this smokestack city at the western tip of Lake Erie the epicenter of the presidential air wars; Toledo ranks as the most advertised-to market of any in the big battleground states.
The city's elevated profile has something to do with its cross-border locale -- TV signals here lap over into southern Michigan, another swing state -- but it is mostly because of Toledo's prominence in the heated battle for Ohio's 20 electoral votes. The city is the urban center of northwestern Ohio, which could be the most closely contested region in this critical swing state.
Although Toledo and surrounding Lucas County are reliably Democratic, the 12-county area reached by the city's TV stations is not. President Bush defeated Democrat Al Gore in this part of the state by about 17,000 votes in 2000, 50 percent to 46 percent. Republicans are counting again on the surrounding rural counties, such as Williams and Defiance by the Indiana line, to offset Democratic strength among unionized workers and African Americans closer to town.
Both sides learned some lessons about the value of advertising four years ago. Behind in the polls by double digits, Gore turned off the ad spigot and stopped making campaign appearances in Ohio in early October, effectively ceding the state to Bush. The Democrats lost Ohio all right -- but by just 3.6 percentage points statewide.
The experience left Democrats and Republicans alike with a profound sense of "what if" and a determination not to take anything for granted this time. "You're seeing everything both sides have in Toledo," said Jim Ruvolo, chairman of Kerry's Ohio campaign. "No one's holding anything back."
It certainly did not appear there was any holding back to anyone tuning in earlier this month, when political ads were as thick as rush-hour traffic, even at non-rush hours. Candidate spots often run back-to-back on programs here, with a Kerry ad followed by a Bush ad followed by a Kerry ad. During "13 Action News" at 6 p.m. on a recent Thursday, the Democratic National Committee, the Kerry campaign and the Bush campaign peppered viewers with a total of six commercials during one 19-minute stretch.
This has certainly been good news for Toledo's depressed local economy, or at least for the four TV stations that are broadcasting almost all of the commercials. Spending on political spots in Toledo will surpass $8 million between July and Election Day, estimated Mary Gerken, general sales manager of WTVG, the city's ABC station. This is about three times the total during the entire 2000 campaign, she said. (The Bush and Kerry campaigns declined to discuss their expenditures in detail.)
The messages flying over the airwaves go all over the political map. One Bush commercial features a series of clips of Kerry taking seemingly contradictory positions on the Iraq war -- here saying it was the "wrong war," there saying the world is better off without Saddam Hussein, and again saying, "I actually did vote for the $87 billion [to fund military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan] before I voted against it." One of Kerry's ads does triple duty: He attacks the war's cost, promises to "stop at nothing" to get the terrorists and then says he'll "fight for a stronger middle class."
The "I'm not a big fan of Bush" ad comes not from Kerry or the DNC but from the anti-Bush Media Fund, one of several independent "527" organization that have been plying Ohio's airwaves since just after the beginning of the year. The commercial features a middle-age man in a hard hat whose question ("but what's Kerry gonna do that's different?") is answered by a narrator. "For 20 years, John Kerry has fought for jobs," the narrator says. ". . . Under Bush-Cheney, Ohio has lost 230,000 jobs while they give no-bid contracts to Halliburton."
"Halliburton," the hard-hat guy repeats glumly.
David Davis, a political science professor at the University of Toledo, said all the advertising has the same motive: to sway undecided voters and to spur the faithful to show up on Election Day. But he noted that advertising can do only so much in a political campaign. Organizational work such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, as well as day-to-day developments in the campaign count, too, Davis said.
Indeed, the ad barrage raises an obvious question: Is anyone being persuaded by all of this?
In some ways, it is almost irrelevant in Toledo. Ruvolo acknowledges there is a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy driving the air wars here: Both sides feel they have to have ads on the air simply because the other guy has his ads on the air. "It is kind of an arms race," he said, a bit sheepishly.
Toledoans interviewed in random encounters on downtown streets generally express fatigue -- and a bit of bewilderment -- about what they're seeing on their TV screens. Walking into the Lucas County courthouse on a sunny fall afternoon, James King, 64, an executive with a health management company, offered the jaded view. "We're kind of sick of them," he said. "It seems like they've been going on forever. I really think it's turning everyone off. When you see as many negative ads as we've seen, you have to believe that it's turning more people off than getting people excited about the election."
King described himself as "a ticked-off conservative" who is leaning toward Kerry. But his choice wasn't shaped by any messages he has picked up from a few thousand political ads. "I'm alarmed at what has happened to the conservative agenda under this president," he said. "The deficit is a disaster. I deplore this war. The government has gotten bigger, not smaller. [Bush] has injured the party and its ideals."
Over on Adams Street, Najie Olive, the owner of Ranya's restaurant, still is not sure which way he is voting. The ads, he said, have not been especially helpful. "It's pretty much tit for tat," he said. "It's like a teeter-totter. They just keep swinging back and forth. . . . I guess I haven't really become tired of it. I'm just immune to it."
A block away, by a statue of native son William McKinley, the assassinated 25th president, teacher Rick Buss was asked whether he can remember any of the TV commercials he has seen. Buss, 54, thinks hard for a moment, holding his hand to his forehead. "Oh, boy," he said finally, stumped. "There's just so many of them that they kind of blur together. The average person can't differentiate who's saying what. It's very confusing."
In fact, the most memorable ad for Sara Agocs, 25, has been "the one President Bush did attacking John Kerry's service in Vietnam. It seemed very unfair to me." Informed that the ad was aired by an independent group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and not the Bush campaign, Agocs seems surprised.
"See, I didn't know that," she said. "All these independent agencies. I don't know what's coming from who."
Yet even if the sources of the ads and the messages are somewhat indistinct, Buss and Agocs can identify the general themes each side is promoting -- that Kerry (according to the Bush campaign) has taken inconsistent positions on many issues and thus cannot be trusted, and that Bush (according to Kerry) has mismanaged the war in Iraq and the economy and does not deserve another four years.
It's not much, but both sides hope it's enough come Election Day.

The work starts near his shoulder, with a traditional-style pin-up girl straddling a rocket in an outer space motif:
The cat perched on the rocket in front of the woman represents Phoenix's love of animals.
The centerpiece of the sleeve, however, is lower on the arm and represents his love of astrology:
From a practical purpose, he had his natal astrological chart wrapping around his limb. In theory, he told me, anyone who knows astrology could come up and read his arm and gain insight into his astrological makeup.
Phoenix was born with the Sun in Aries rising in Leo and with his moon in Gemini.
This work was done by Lou at Third Eye Tattoo in Park Slope, Brooklyn, about six years ago. Lou's handiwork has been featured many times over the years here on the site and can be seen here.
Thanks to Phoenix for sharing his spectacular sleeve with us here on Tattoosday!

A "key" to saving you hours of hassle!- Author: Crystal
Making key copies takes just one quick trip to the hardware store and could save you a ton of problems down the road. (This I can tell you from experience!)
- Make at least two copies of your house key and one of each of your car keys. Any hardware store should be able to do this for you. Be sure to test them out as soon as you get home.
- Clearly label these extra keys.
- Put one extra house key in your car and one extra car key in your house. Store keys in one consistent location so you'll always find them when you need them.
- Consider giving a key to neighbors and friends as backup.

Bankers' deadline
Havas announced less than half an hour
Bids are not expected to substantially exceed Grey's market capitalization, which currently is $1.3 billion, a slight increase from its $1.2 billion market cap in late June, when it was put up for sale.
Havas, parent to ad networks Euro RSCG Worldwide and Arnold Worldwide and media-buying agency MPG, has been struggling in the past 24 months with a restructuring that involves selling off underperforming units, reorganizing its existing operations and restructuring its debt.
Secured financing
Last week, the debt-burdened company secured financing for the deal from Deutsche Bank and Societe Generale.
But Vincent Bollore, a French financier who owns more than 5% of Havas, reportedly is opposed to Havas' bid. A call to Mr. Bollore was not answered at press time.
Potential suitors
Grey Global, whose clients include Procter & Gamble Co., Mars and BAT, went on the sales block in late June. Other potential bidders include holding company WPP Group and private equity firms Hellman & Friedman, San Francisco, in partnership with Kohlberg Kravis & Roberts, New York. Grey Global is the parent of Grey Worldwide and media buying and planning agency MediaCom.

DOWNEY - If you've been puzzling over the gentle, wistful images of young children that seem to appear randomly on walls around town, your questions are about to be answered - at least in part. On Sunday, Aug. 19 at 7 pm, the Epic Lounge will host a screening of a documentary film about the elusive Downey street artist who signs his work "bumblebeelovesyou." The children he paints vary in size, according to where they are placed, but they are nearly always seen wearing some piece of clothing with the signature colors of yellow and black, and are often attended by friendly bees.
The location of the whimsical figures is also a hallmark of the message and work of the artist known as Bumblebee. The renderings bestow a touch of love and loveliness to walls of unused buildings or walls beside vacant lots.
Downey videographer Julian Park was so touched by the sensitive figures that he made it his mission to track down the artist. Connecting through email, Park asked if the artist would like to tell his story. The answer was yes, so long as his face is always obscured and his name is never revealed.
Bumblebee has not said whether he will be present at the Sunday showing, but he and his collaborators hope the event will prompt reflection and discussion about the role of art, and public art, in society.
"The work is the celebrity," Park says, "not the person."
Smaller pieces of Bumblebee's water colors and sculpture will be on display and available for sale. What emerges from Park's film is the not uncommon story of someone who felt discouraged from pursuing art as a career, but could no longer ignore his inner drive to create.
"I felt artistic in school," Bumblebee explains, "but I also felt I was getting the message that you couldn't do art for a living."
After following the only path that he felt he could, Bumblebee has come into his own now as a mature artist, with gallery showings that include sculptures, paintings, and installations. "I've been fortunate to be one of the artists who sells his work," he acknowledges. He views his street art as a gift to the community, and his art sales help finance this gift.
"I love the city where I live," Bumblebee affirms. "It made me the artist that I am today. But I want to change it in a positive way and make people aware that there is this creative energy all around us." He says that his family's views progressed from initial doubt and embarrassment to genuine support when they realized the positive response throughout the community to the loving images he scatters around town.
Definition of Street Art Bumblebee's outdoor work is termed street art, not to be confused with graffiti or tagging that marks a territory. He terms this type of art "site-specific," meaning that the images complement, or are in some way appropriate, to the location in which they are placed.
"It is collaboration between the artist and the environment," he explains. Each piece is an expensive and arduous process. One-of-a-kind stencils are premade and cut by hand, paint is acquired, and equipment is lugged to the site. His latest creation, called "Slices," is right in the heart of downtown Downey, and she is hard to miss. Just off of Second Street, on the side of the building that houses the Epic Lounge, where the documentary will be shown, is an 18-foot high figure of a young girl trying to cut her own hair. The sign for the neighboring hair salon appears close by her right shoulder.
After receiving permission from the building owner and its commercial tenants, the artist and a crew assembled one night to paint the image that was projected on the wall. Mike Gavica, proprietor of LA Buns next door, said they started about 8:30 pm and it was fun to watch.
Observers reported that police checking on the group to verify permission seemed to enjoy the spirit of the moment as much as the other bystanders.
Sadly, the very nature of street art means that it is often ephemeral. It is work of sudden vision and inspiration by artists who do not bother with submitting proposals or getting consensus from a commission.
Each public work of Bumblebee is an act of faith that someone will see it and be touched before it is painted over.
Last March, DowneyDailyPhotos.com published a photo of just such a moment with a young girl posing next to a ballerina painted on a freestanding brick wall in an abandoned lot. Her mother is seen kneeling in the foreground to snap a picture.
The wall is still standing amid the weeds in the lot on Dolan Avenue, but the sweet ballerina has been painted over.
The questions about permission and rules are legitimate, but many citizens also feel there should be discussion about what is public art, its role, and whether communities should find a way to encourage and protect it.
Bumblebee has accomplished what many artists only dream of - the work is immediately arresting, and provokes a myriad of thoughts all at once: who put that there? why is it there? what a beautiful image! Some people drive around the block to get a second look, or pull over and get out of their car to study the work at length.
It's been a year, according to Bumblebee, since he's done anything without permission. But it may still be a while before he is willing to reveal his identity. He wants people to focus on his work and its implications.
Community of Values Bumblebee and film-maker Park did not know each other growing up in Downey, but it is clear that the two share a community of values. Themes of love, kindness, and sharing dominate the work of both Park and his subject.
Park's website solicits ideas for projects with the explanation, "We want to offer our services to be a voice for the voiceless."
Like Bumblebee, Park has not followed a "traditional" career path. After studying writing at California State University at Long Beach, Park turned to work that focuses on meaningful, personal projects.
Park is modest about his film-making and describes it as a "hobby" started in high school, but his body of work includes a compelling short about a project to maintain a public school for elementary children in the slum of Lenana in Nairobi, Kenya. The film is titled "Standard 8" after the exam that the students must pass.
Park is proud of his documentary's use in raising money for the school, but he is also astoundingly casual about the personal risk he experienced during its production.
In October 2010, at the invitation of a classmate from Warren High, Eddo Kim, who had started a non-profit to serve children who had little or no access to education, Park flew to Nairobi where he and an associate spent a week filming the students and teachers.
On their last day of shooting, they ignored their usual practice of leaving the neighborhood before nightfall. As they were being escorted out of the area by supporters of the school, Park and his associate were robbed at gunpoint of all their equipment.
Park says the school's supporters were beaten as they tried to protect the equipment. Nonetheless, he was undeterred from doing what he could to complete the project. Even before he returned home, the story was broadcast on the web. Within three months $8,000 had been raised to replace the equipment, and Park returned to Lenana to film for a week once again. By March 2011, the 30-minute film was complete and available for screening at various universities to raise funds for the school.
Park's sound editor Joseph Kim is a longtime friend from school in Downey. The two worked on films since high school, and last year Kim also turned away from a traditional career as a CPA to work on music and film scoring.
The two filmmakers hope the one night screening of "Bumblebee" will attract all people with creative interests and be an opportunity to discuss trends across all genres of art.
"Bumblebee" will show at 7 p.m., Sunday, at the Epic Lounge, 8239 Second Street. Park's film "Standard 8" can be viewed at handimade.org.

For many of us, the changing seasons mean the start of upper respiratory misery. Coughing, sneezing, wheezing, and congestion are all common components of human allergies. Many people suffer from these symptoms and you only have to watch the television for a few minutes shadow fight 2 to see a commercial for a new product to alleviate these symptoms. Dogs and cats on the other hand, develop skin disease associated with allergies. And, on the whole, they do not respond very well to antihistamines that work so well in people. This means that steroids may be the only medication wwe immortals hack tool available to help provide these pets with relief. Because of the numerous side effects associated with long- term steroid usage, it is critical to determine the culprit in allergic skin disease and eliminate it.
The most common allergy in dogs and cats is flea hypersensitivity. This means that the affected pet has an allergic reaction, involving the skin of the entire body, to the saliva of the flea. Unfortunately for pets affected with this, all it takes is one madden mobile
coinsbite from one flea and they can be as itchy as a person covered with poison ivy! Fortunately for our pets, there are many products available to prevent them from being bitten. These are products available from your veterinarian that work very well to prevent fleas covet fashion hack tool from biting your pet.
The second most common allergy in dogs and cats is atopy. This is a general term that includes allergic skin disease caused by any inhaled allergen. Inhaled allergens are the same things that cause humans to suffer from seasonal allergies. Inhalant allergies usually start out as a seasonal problem, but as time goes by, they tend to persist year-round. Examples of allergens that cause atopy are: house dust mites, pollens from trees or grasses, and molds. Obviously, these things vary by location. Pollen that is common in Missouri may never be a problem in Arizona.
The above two types of allergies are commonly diagnosed using intradermal (skin) testing or serologic (blood) testing. Intradermal testing requires a visit to a veterinary dermatologist (a veterinarian that specializes in skin problems). It involves shaving hair from the dog or cat (varies as to where the pet is shaved), drawing a grid, injecting a different allergen in each square on the grid, and grading the reaction of the skin to each allergen. The serologic testing involves drawing a blood sample and submitting the serum (liquid portion of the blood) to a laboratory that performs the shadow fight 2 hack test. The result of both types of testing is a list of allergens to which the pet is sensitive. From this, serum is made to administer to the pet in increasing amounts until hyposensitization is accomplished. This will diminish the pet's response to the allergen.
Veterinary dermatologists estimate that adverse food reactions account for only 1-6% of all skin diseases seen in general practice. Food allergy is thought to make up only 10-20% of all cases of allergic skin disease in covet fashion dogs and cats. Of these cases, up to one-third of them occur in animals less than one year of age. In many cases of allergic skin disease caused by a food ingredient, the only symptom is an ear infection affecting both ears. Food allergies are not typically diagnosed line cookie run hack using intradermal or serologic testing. They are typically diagnosed, and treated, by using an elimination diet. This means that the pet is fed a diet with known ingredients and not given any other foods (treats, snacks, rawhides, etc). The trial should continue for a minimum of 3 weeks. After 10 weeks, if there is not an improvement, a different diet should be selected. The culprit in food allergies is most often the protein source. blitz brigade cheats That's why prescription diets for allergic pets have unusual meat sources, such as venison, duck, or fish. No food is "hypoallergenic" except for ones with hydrolyzed (man-made) protein. They simply offer a novel protein source to which the pet has not been previously exposed. Lamb and rice diets that are available over the counter are not true "allergy" diets as they may contain other protein sources in addition to lamb and rice. Beware of this if your pet truly does have a food allergy. They are appropriate, however, for dogs and madden mobile cheats cats that seem to be sensitive to diets that contain some other protein as the primary protein source.

Q: I'm trying to use an AMD FirePro graphics card with Hyper-V for RemoteFX, but don't know which driver to use. What should I do?
A: The best way to find the correct driver is to use the Windows 8.1 64-bit driver; however, you need to make sure you select the correct type of system. Go to the AMD Graphics Drivers and Software page and fill out the details. For example, for a FirePro V5900 I entered:
- Type of system: Workstation Graphics
- Product family: FirePro 3D Series
- Product: FirePro V5900
- OS: Windows 8.1 - 64 Bit
The driver installed great on Windows Server 2012 R2 and was available for RemoteFX.

Today we were at Hampton Manor exhibiting at the Rock My Wedding Pop Up Shop. Here at Passion for Flowers we work closely with Rock My Wedding and provided florals for their Rock My Boutique shoot last year. For the pop up shop we created a similar look to the shoot with white and green flowers in tin cans. We used a mix of amni, ranunculus, tulips, brunia and astrantia.
Rock My Wedding Pop Up Shop
At the entrance to Hampton Manor we created a Spring table with a mix of vases and bottles, using broom, pink blossom, amni, ranunculus and sweet avalanche roses. Our stand was on our vintage ladders. We showed a mix of different table centre pieces as well as a range of décor available from The Wedding of my Dreams.
More photos from the day including the above image can be found on the Rock My Wedding blog.

Networking means to develop contacts and exchange information with other people for purposes of developing business or expanding one's career opportunities or information. It is tapping into your connections for helpful information or advice. If done successfully, networking can be the most effective career exploration and job search tool. Upwards of 70-80% of jobs are not advertised. You can only find these jobs by networking. In fact, most jobs are found through networking!
Possible Networking Contacts
- Friends/family
- Georgetown University alumni
- Alumni Career Network
- Contacts through local club/class organizations
- Other undergraduate or graduate schools/program alumni (if applicable)
- University professors
- Current or former co-workers and employers
- Business associates
- Professional association members
- Neighbors/social groups
- Religious affiliations/members
- Other clubs/group memberships
- "Cold" contacts
Networking Tips
(From Million Dollar Networking by Andrea R. Nierenberg)
Know what you're looking for. Have a well-thought-out plan for your career path. Asking key questions will help the person you're speaking with assist you more effectively. Also know what type of information you are seeking from that contact person: Referrals for a specific job opening? Information on a particular career field? Advice on the best strategies to break into a career? A secondary contact?
Prepare an elevator speech. In other words, prepare a 30-second commercial of who you are, what you do and what you're looking for. This not only forces you to clearly articulate your goals, it helps lead to great first impressions.
Don't just talk, listen. While your contacts may not be in a hiring capacity, the information they provide has the potential to be extremely valuable in your job search. Follow up with any other contacts s/he may give you.
Join trade groups and/or professional associations. Joining groups that are specific to your industry or field is an excellent way to form a larger network. Volunteering on committees and/or getting further involved is also a good way to meet people.
Build relationships. Ideally, a network is continually being built as you progress in your career. Rather than only contacting people when you are in need of advice or information, create a relationship that is based on mutual interest and help. Emailing or sending a quick note to new contact people throughout your career is a good habit to maintain contact.
Reciprocate. When you ask others for help, be prepared to return the favor.
Send a thank you/keep informed about progress. Maintaining your network is one of the most important pieces of successful networking. Let your contacts know you appreciate their time and information and keep them apprised as to the status of your search. Additionally, these ties should be cultivated beyond your search. You never know when they will once again be fruitful for either yourself or your contact. Remember not to abuse the time of your contact person.
Additional Tips
(From Phil Stella in The Toastmaster)
Top 10 tips for networking etiquette
- Respect the time of the people you're networking with.
- Listen more than talk.

- Don't mix networking, marketing, and selling.
- Finesse really pays off—don't come on too strong.
- Make other people comfortable.
- Ask if this is a good time for a brief chat when following up.
- Thank people for their effort on your behalf.

ADO.NET includes many objects you
can use to work with data. This section introduces some of the primary
objects you will use. Over the course of this tutorial, you'll be exposed
to many more ADO.NET objects from the perspective of how they are used in a
particular lesson. The objects below are the ones you must know.
Learning about them will give you an idea of the types of things you can do
with data when using ADO.NET.
To interact with a data base, you
must have a connection to it. The connection helps identify the data base
server, the data base name, user name, password, and other parameters that are
required for connecting to the data base. A connection object is used by
command objects so they will know which data base to execute the command on.
The process of interacting with a
data base means that you must specify the actions you want to occur. This
is done with a command object. You use a command object to send SQL
statements to the data base. A command object uses a connection object to
figure out which data base to communicate with. You can use a command
object alone, to execute a command directly, or assign a reference to a command
object to an SqlDataAdapter, which holds a set of commands that work on a group
of data as described below.
Many data operations require that
you only get a stream of data for reading. The data reader object allows
you to obtain the results of a SELECT statement from a command object.
For performance reasons, the data returned from a data reader is a fast forward-only
stream of data. This means that you can only pull the data from the
stream in a sequential manner. This is good for speed, but if you need to
manipulate data, then a DataSet is a better object to work with.
DataSet objects are in-memory
representations of data. They contain multiple Datatable objects, which
contain columns and rows, just like normal data base tables. You can even
define relations between tables to create parent-child relationships. The
DataSet is specifically designed to help manage data in memory and to support
disconnected operations on data, when such a scenario make sense. The
DataSet is an object that is used by all of the Data Providers, which is why it
does not have a Data Provider specific prefix.
Sometimes the data you work with is
primarily read-only and you rarely need to make changes to the underlying data
source. Some situations also call for caching data in memory to minimize
the number of data base calls for data that does not change. The data
adapter makes it easy for you to accomplish these things by helping to manage
data in a disconnected mode. The data adapter fills a DataSet object when
reading the data and writes in a single batch when persisting changes back to
the data base. A data adapter contains a reference to the connection
object and opens and closes the connection automatically when reading from or
writing to the data base. Additionally, the data adapter contains command
object references for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations on the
data. You will have a data adapter defined for each table in a DataSet
and it will take care of all communication with the data base for you.
All you need to do is tell the data adapter when to load from or write to the
data base.

And Barnyard. And even, sometimes, Horse Sweat.
Some of the words used to describe wine's varied characteristics are crazy, to say the least. But as I sit here this evening in my Muse sipping a wonderful Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc, I understand why that is so.
Now don't get me wrong. I'm not a "cat person." I am most definitely a dog person. My two roomies love me without reservation and without the hidden snoot that's in every feline. And the fact that I like – even *expect* – the aroma of cat pee in my Sauvignon Blanc in no way indicates that I have a fetish for sniffing cat boxes. Absolutely not. I avoid them whenever possible. Otherwise, I'd probably actually own a cat.
But you have to laugh at some of the wine words. And laugh even more at yourself when you realize that you actually understand what the wine critic was referring to. Let me give you a for-instance or two.
Barnyard. For most people, that means the smell of herbivore animal poo. As well as the damp smells of hay, cow, horse, chickens, and other farm critters and things all mixed up into a whole. But in some wines, this fragrance (or "stench" if you're skeptical), is expected and desired. If you're fortunate enough to experience a Bordeaux or a Burgundy (both from France), you will get just a whiff of that barnyard characteristic and go "ahh! I get it!" That doesn't necessarily mean that you'll like the wines, but at least you'll understand the smell.
Not every descriptor is silly, of course. When you inhale the intense aromas of good German whites – Riesling or Gewürztraminer for instance – the descriptors of apricot, grapefruit, and pear are spot on and you get it.
Others may be a little more obscure. For instance, "spice box." Yes, I've used the term as well. But had to ask myself … *which* spices? Cinnamon and nutmeg are going to have decidedly different characteristics than allspice and pepper. And if you've ever inhaled the aroma of a good Caribbean Jerk seasoning or a Vietnamese Pho spice combination, then you realize that "spice box" is a term that says, "I'm not sure what it is, but this sounds good enough 'cause there's a lot of stuff happening on the nose that I can't figure out." At least that's how I feel when I use the term. Your mileage may vary.
Actually, the only wine descriptors that truly annoy me are those that anthropomorphize the wine; that is, give it human personality characteristics. For example, some time ago I saw the following used to describe a white wine: Impressive, showy, somewhat eccentric, but overall quite racy and distinctive.
Sounds like he's talking about yours truly when I'm in a good-to-middlin' mood, but that doesn't tell me anything about the wine. What does it smell like?? What does it taste like?? With his description, it sounds like it may go stomping off in a snit if it's not being properly worshipped. I may give the same wine a sniff and a sip and decide that it's something like the following: Appears to be going through a PMS stage and seems to be a little cranky, pimply, and bloated.
Which, of course, still won't tell you what the wine looks, smells, or tastes like. Only that it seems to be somewhat irritable.
And for those of you who are regular readers, you know that I easily will do the same thing. In my last review of Pinotages, for instance, I think I actually used the word belligerent and pugilistic to describe one of them. So my face is reddish. But I did throw in a few words about the taste. I think.
Yes, I've been enjoying poking fun at the way wine geeks – myself included – describe wines. I will continue to use the sometimes silly terms and so will you as you learn more about wines and more about winespeak. But don't worry about it. Remember, most of the wines you drink you're just going to pop, pour, drink, and enjoy.
But first you'll take a whiff of the cat pee.
(Note: I wrote this over three years ago when I had both of my beloved "roomies" Cooper and Conner sharing my home with me. They've since gone on to the bridge and my current roomie, Jake, is happy to take up the Wineaux Dog baton.)

The increase in the warranty period of operation of cables
One of the important characteristics of the cable is the warranty period of its operation. Most cable manufacturers to establish their product warranty period of 2 years. Cable "SPETSKABEL" specialists of the plant for several years carried out tests in order to extend the manufacturer's warranty. The test results revealed that the warranty period of the cables produced by NPP "SPETSKABEL" should be increased up to 6 years. At present, the necessary changes are made to the specifications for the cables. The warranty period for cables production plant "SPETSKABEL" is calculated from the date of commissioning, but not later than 6 months from the date of manufacture.

We recently visiting The Akron Fossils & Science Center and were really impressed with the facility. It was a fun and educational atmosphere and the kids really enjoyed the time we spent there.
They teach Intelligent Design vs. Evolution in a very admirable way. The center was established to provide answers to the important questions on creation.
Even though I knew it was a creation based center, I was impressed that the guide took the time to explain this to me before I purchased tickets for my family. That way, guests know what to expect prior to making the purchase.
The Guided Tour
The tour started at the Lecture Hall where the guide did a great job entertaining the children and teaching them all about fossils and dinosaur bones. There was a wide variety of fossils that we got to hold and pass around the audience.
Then we moved over to the Science Hall where the guide talked about living fossils, volcanoes, and the age of the earth. They even showed a short video about the eruption of Mt. St. Helens.
The last part of the tour was the Biblical History Hall, where the guide gave an overview of the creation story from the bible. Next we were shown a model of Noah's Ark and we talked a little about the animals that were on the ark.
Truassic Park
Truassic Park is a dinosaur themed park, with ride on toys, a slide, swings, a zip-line and much more. Unfortunately, the day we were there it was cold and rainy so we didn't spend much time outside. We did get to launch the paper airplanes the kids made during the tour. The planes probably flew 150 ft! The kids would launch them, run to retrieve them and then launch them again. It was a blast!
We can't wait to visit the center again. Next time we'll choose a warm day so we can play in the park longer.

This is a project I did in July with my friend Jake.
Cut from 5mm frosted acrylic the squares were defined by surrounding slots with radiused ends. The white squares were highlighted by etching away a layer from the acrylic.
The results I think look pretty slick, especially when you add in the slotted acrylic pieces Jake designed and brought along to the meet to be cut. (More pictures and details below)
As usual, the design was drawing in Alibre, then converted to a drawing from 3d, then to a dxf to be imported to our laser cutter. Due to the design we fancied I had to draw two Alibre files. One for the cut layer and one for the etch.
Due to the size of the etch layer, the job took 2 hours and 5 minutes to run! We worked out that the laser travelled over a mile to etch the surface of all the white squares with a step size of 0.1mm. If running the job again I'd definitely scrap the etch layer and turn it into a very low power cut, with low tack paper over the acrylic. Once both cut layers were done I'd peel off the masking paper for all of the white squares, spray with frosting spray, allow to dry and then peel off the remaining paper. With that much less etching to do I should think the job would run in only 10 minutes.
Once out of the laser cutter the board needed a good blast with the air line, then a wipe down with a slosh of Isopropyl Alcohol (aka IPA, the solvent not the beer… unfortunately), which is what I always use to clean residue and marks off acrylic.
Here's a shot of the board once cleaned, there's a rather smart looking CNC turned aluminium queen in the top right of the photo.
And here's the .dxf file of the cut layer, you're welcome to download it to cut your own so long as you're not selling it. I can't find the etch layer at the moment, but if you're interested, just nag and I'll redraw it.

New Chimpex grain terminal completed
In time for the wheat harvest 2017, our new world scale grain terminal in Constanta has been completed.
The new state-of-the-art terminal has a storage capacity of 200,000 tonnes on 20 vertical cells, can receive cargo by barge (1 x 400 tonnes per hour), truck (2 x 400 tonnes per hour) and rail (1x 400 tonnes per hour), and has a vessel loading rate of 2 x 800 tonnes per hour.
The investment over 42 million EUR is part of Chimpex' and Ameropa's ongoing commitment to provide best-in-class services to its customers, protect the environment, and ensure a safe working environment for its employees.
A new CSR project developed by Chimpex
Chimpex is assembling, the kids are pedalling
Chimpex, one of the largest port operators in Constanta, is involved in the social life of the community through CSR projects developed together with its employees. Between 22 – 26 of May, 2017 Chimpex organized a team building for the company employees, with CSR purpose, entitled "The troublesome bike".
The project "The troublesome bike" gathered Chimpex team members in finding the hidden pieces of the bikes and then assembling them in a determined period of time. The assembled bikes were donated by Chimpex to the children of a foster home in Constanta. Through this project and through the employees' involvement, Chimpex succeeded in bringing a smile on the faces of those who can't be fully happy.
Chimpex has always considered of great importance and has paid special attention to the CSR projects, offering moments of joy especially to the kids from foster homes. This project is part of a series of projects with CSR purpose developed by Chimpex.
On long term, through this type of projects, Chimpex reasserts its role in the local community and respects the way company employees choose each time to become involved in helping disadvantaged cases.

Free English language classes for the children of our employees.
Under the motto "We want to invest together in our children's future", Chimpex launched during the month of April 2016 a program by which the employees can freely register their children aged 3 - 12 to English language classes. On 23rd of April, 17 children and their parents took part in a free English language workshop, during which the parents had the chance to find out more about the English classes, while the children enjoyed an Easter workshop. The classes are organized by Helen Doron, a global institution with over 30 years of success in teaching English to children of all ages.
Chimpex has signed a EUR 27 million loan agreement with BCR to build a new grain terminal at the Black Sea.
The contract was signed on March 11 and has a duration of 10 years. Chimpex will use the loan to build a terminal with a capacity of 200,000 tons in the Port of Constanta. The terminal will have an operating capacity of over 3.5 million tons of grains per year (wheat, barley, corn, rapeseed, sunflower, etc.) and will allow simultaneous unloading from trains, trucks, barges and loading to PANAMAX vessels up to 63,000 tons.
Chimpex receives approval for construction of new grain terminal
Chimpex, an Ameropa subsidiary based in Constanta Romania, is pleased to announce that it has received the approval from the local authorities for the construction of a new grain terminal.

Once construction has finished, Chimpex will have the capability to operate a state of the art terminal capable of storing 200'000 tons on 20 vertical cells along with a loading rate of 2 x 800 tons per hour. This investment is part of Chimpex's and Ameropa's ongoing commitment to provide best-in-class services for their customers, protect the environment, and ensure a safe working environment for their employees.

There's a new record in handling 1.045.000 MT Congratulations to all Chimpex employees


text: Hi, I want to know where I can buy a keyword with 5000 local searches per month. Anything over 5000 searches is fine too. I've been looking all over BHW and the sellers only offer 1000+ and I don't want anything lower than 5k searches. I also PM'ed a lot of the sellers and they don't reply quick enough (or at all). So where could I buy some keywords?

Motorola V323 / V325 / V323i / V325i
Info Photos News Forum 100+ Reviews
Average Ratings
this is the best phone ever!!!
I love this phone everything about it is great, except the speaker phone volume could go a little higher but thats all!
Motorola V 325
This phone is awesome... I work for verizon and I have had the chance to use this phone...The camera is also verygood for only bein a VGA camera..
AD reviews continues below...
Network and ear speaker problems
This phone, when new, works great. I have the same complaint with the vibrator/ring issue. But more worrisome is the quality of this device. I returned my first unit after the ear speaker went out. One moment it worked fine and five minutes later it didn't. My replacement worked fine for about a month, but now anytime I place an outgoing call I get static similar to that of an analog call just as the recipient picks up the call. When I ask the recipient to call me back, the sound is fine.
Pros: Cheap. Basic phone.
Cons: Quality issues
Nothing to get excited about
Sure it has ring lights. It has ring lights that don't show up half the time in the sound settings. The only way to revive the option is to charge it. Sure it's kind of nice looking. But the inside is grotesque. Verizon's UI is disgusting--plus their web is hardly worth paying for. Ew. The phone itself isn't much of a prize, mainly because MINE keeps flaking out on me. When you close the phone, sometimes the numbers on the front are not the same size. Also, when you hold down a key to speed -dial someone, it flakes out and makes a dial noise that you can't get rid of unless you restart the phone.
Calling people is fine. Voice quality is okay. Speakerphone could be louder. Voice dialing is great. Text messaging is crappy.
I can't believe I got excited about this phone.
Sidekick II/III/T-mobile here I come...
It's okay.
I'll give Motorola a C for effort. It's just too big for what it is, and it should have a color outside screen. Call quality rocks, but the vibrate stinks, and I can never get my calls if I can't hear or feel them.
Plus, I hate the Verizon UI. Like, ew. Verizon destroys; again.
Nothing but trouble
This phone has a mind of its own. It shuts down while I'm talking, it redials when I shove it in my pocket. And it won't take my voice as the model for voice activation--it decides how to pronounce my friends' names. I've had it less than a month and the jack for the headphone is already broken. My advice: stay away from this one.
Nicely designed, but Fatally Flawed.
I'd really like to, but can't recommend this phone, at least not from Verizon. I'm on my second V325 from Verizon and waiting for my third replacement handset.
The previous two go into a "freeze" mode and can't make or receive calls or messages, usually overnight.
There's no way to know this is happening, unfortunately, until you try and make a call ... and nothing happens. The only solution is to restart the phone - but both phones - once they entered this state wouldn't successfully shut off, either. I'd have to take out the battery and replace it. This was happening once a day for the first phone.
I thought it was a fluke with the first one. Then I got a replacement and within 24 hours, it happened again. No one at Verizon will admit ever hearing of this or "any" problems with this phone.
So ...
Great feel, the rubber grip and metal front and back make it feel nice and sturdy. Too bad it doesn't matter. Nice to see some of the designs in motorola's GSM phones finally making it to the backwaters of CDMA.
Display is extra bright, keypad responsive, and controls more-or-less logical. Even the Verizon UI (menus) isn't so bad ...
Phone is completely unreliable.
Kind of negates anything nice I could say about it. On one hand it's nicely designed and good looking, seemingly up-to-date ... on the other, it still suffers from verizonitis - too big, with a giant antenna stub - and balky, unpolished Verzion UI software that I suspect is the cause of the problems with this phone.

The Letters.: To Gregory my friend.
Letter XIX. 1908
To Gregory my friend. 1909
I received a letter from you the day before yesterday. It is shewn to be yours not so much by the handwriting as by the peculiar style. Much meaning is expressed in few words. I did not reply on the spot, because I was away from home, and the letter-carrier, after he had delivered the packet to one of my friends, went away. Now, however, I am able to address you through Peter, and at the same time both to return your greeting, and give you an opportunity for another letter. There is certainly no trouble in writing a laconic dispatch like those which reach me from you.

So, new Ghostbusters project is finally getting off the ground. It's a reboot with a female cast, from Bridesmaids director Paul Feig.
Naturally, the internet lost its shit.
I saw a lot of moaning, criticisms, and prejudgments, and conveniently, most are summed up pretty neatly in this GeekTyrant article by Joey Paur. I generally like GeekTyrant's coverage, but this particular post is as selfish and misguided as it gets. Let me break it down: Continue reading

Istanbul Turkey has an unbelievable amount of stray dogs, with some estimates putting the number over 150,000 strays in the city. A clever company, Pudgeon has created an amazing way to reduce litter on the streets and at the same time feed the dogs. Their innovation is a vending machine that accepts plastic drink bottles and then dispenses food for the dogs. As you can see in these pictures, when a pedestrian drops in a bottle the machine dispenses a small amount of dog food the strays can enjoy. Beside the food bowl is a second bowl for water. Pedestrians can pour their leftover water from their bottle into the dogs water bowl before inserting it into the machine to "pay" for food.
This incredible idea is helping to feed dogs that otherwise might starve on the streets. The debate still rages among citizens whether the community should continue to embrace stray dogs, but for now, the ideas by Pudgeon are a fascinating way to solve a problem with bottle litter and feeding the dogs at the same time. Pudgeon raises enough money through the sales of the plastic bottles to keep the machines filled with food.

New Orchid Enemy Found In Florida
University of Florida Insect Diagnostician Lyle Buss collected a specimen of the orchid mealybug (Pseudococcus dendrobiorum) on Phalaenopsis orchids in a greenhouse in Gainesville on March 27. Not only is this the first find in Florida, it is the first finding of P. dendrobiorum in the Western Hemisphere.
According to Lyle Buss of the University of Florida, the plants originally came from several different orchid growers, so it has not been determined where the mealybugs came from originally.
Adults and immatures of this mealybug are grayish pink in color. Wax filaments are present around the entire body, with the two or three pairs of filaments at the tip of the abdomen being slightly longer than the rest. A patch of white, waxy secretion is often present on the roots surrounding the mealybug. Live specimens of P. dendrobiorum most closely resemble the pineapple mealybug in appearance.
P. dendrobiorum is native to warm climates and lives on the roots of orchids. Hosts include Ascoglossum sp., Cymbidium sp., Dendrobium sp., Phalaenopsis sp., Pholidota sp. and Promatocalpum species. Heavy infestations could cause dieback or death of host plants.

The thrill of our new place
was like the fragile heartbeat of the fawn
outside the mud room window.
It nosed fallen pears in the damp grass
alongside its mother.
Blinking greed, pride, fear, wonder,
I wanted to trap and keep the moment,
my thoughts flashing like feet across the highway:
powerful fast, four hooves thumping,
lucky, lucky, lucky, and dead.
Our first human guests
rode in the back of the truck
descending the leafy drive,
admiring the shining water.
Then I saw, outside my window
the broken doe on the road.
I never knew what happened to the fawn.
In my dark, coveting heart
I had brought the city here
and with my quick, flirting eyes
I had tried to own the world.

Building a Masterpiece: MMOGs and the Hype Machine
Marketing of a new game often begins severals years out today. Ralsu examines what it means to hype a game so early and how Turbine did a great job with hype for Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach.
"Anytime a game based on Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is announced, gamers raise both eyebrows: the first one is raised in excitement while the second is raised in skepticism. We D&D fans have endured some sad attempts to incorporate D&D mechanics into a game (Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor anyone?). With any license as huge as D&D, I think a company would do well to let fans in on the development so that they can see first-hand that the game will stay true to its namesake."

text: I've not been a big fan of the movie toys, but I kept seeing protoform Prime on the shelves... I bought him with the hopes of painting him. A few hours of work and this was the result. Chest and arms were painted red. Head and legs got some blue. The thighs, abs, and codpiece got painted silver (pretty close to the factory grey, but it stands out in person). I painted the outside of the wings/shoulder-thingys red and the leading edge silver. And I finished with some very minor yellow detailing. This was my first time going 100% acrylic. Normally I do a mix of enamel and acrylic. I think it turned out pretty well. The blue is this semi-translucent metal flake stuff. A lot of the grey underneath still shines through. It looks GREAT in person. The detail underneath really shines through. I considered painting the eyes, but I like the red light piping, so I decided to leave them. Meteor/rock/booger mode doesn't suffer much from the painting. The red stripe/mask looks kinda cool and the blue legs are almost unnoticable. I decided to paint half of the shoulder "wing" just so the stripe would go all the way across in rock mode. The red shoulders were almost completely hidden in this mode. anyways, I'm way pleased with how this turned out, especially since it involved no planning. I just put my THS-02 in front of me and used it as a guide. If anyone wants to see bigger versions of these shots, just hit my flickr stream.
