…so we were towed by another, similar boat!
We actually spent a good portion of the day out on the water before that happened, though, so I got a nice tour of the countryside from the river…lots of net-fishermen, cattle-herding, and manual farming operations – throwbacks to a simpler time.
This photo was taken on on my first trip to Bangladesh – I was 20 years old at the time. The people around me were friends/penpals, and the fellow sort-of behind me was my primary translator!
fashion note: nice spectacles, Reya…(ugh).

Don’t bother unless you’re going to use it to “talk” in class without teachers knowing or you know somebody that’s deaf. It’s not all that great.

One reason I dont wear skirts as often as I would like is because I am not sure what kind of shoes to wear! I like to wear shoes that are at least somewhat comfortable. Any suggestions on how to figure this one out?
So far so good…..it felt exhilirating to drive north and not look back. San Fran is very different, almost like another country. Tons of public transport that lots of normal, employed, non-crazy people use.

Denver Hotels Get Facelifts
The former Cherry Creek Hotel, a "very tired" destination at the corner of Colorado Boulevard and Cherry Creek Drive South, will get a $32 million refurbishing. The eight-story, 210-room building will open by the end of the year as the Hilton Garden Inn and include 11,000 square feet of retail space that includes a Panera Bread and Mediterranean grill, according to the Denver Business Journal. While that project and others are expected to help revitalize Colorado Boulevard, Jesse Morreale, a Denver restaurateur, hotelier, and nightclub owner, is recycling the name of his defunct Cherry Creek fine dining restaurant, Sketch, the name attached to 1,000 square feet of wine, cheese, and chocolate indulgences inside the historic First Avenue Hotel at First Avenue and Broadway, which opened this weekend, writes The Denver Post. The 40-seat, European-style wine bar is the first step in a $5 million renovation to return the 1905 hotel to "its former splendor."

Ryan Call: The New Leader of the State GOP
State Senator Ted Harvey would have embraced Tea Party activists had he been elected chairman of Colorado's Republican Party, but he lost his bid to youthful Ryan Call, the party's legal counsel, over the weekend (Denver Post). Call, who says the GOP should do more to reach out to unaffiliated voters and Latinos, will usher in the post-Dick Wadhams era, as the party is divided over how to win more seats in 2012, a presidential election year. The state GOP kicked off the big weekend with a dinner and keynote by New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, the nation's first Latina head of state (Denver Post).
Harvey and another candidate for the job, Matt Arnold of Clear the Bench Colorado, are surprised Call won so decisively. "There are a lot of very deep, underlying divisions in the party," Arnold said before the vote, "and it's troubling—we're kind of at a point where we're battling for the soul of the Republican Party" (Colorado Statesman). The divisions split those who want to expand the party by encouraging the more conservative, Tea Party base and those who want to bring in more moderate

Tour de Force
Former UVM professor Bill Averyt gives visitors a historical POV
Bill Averyt at Billings Student Center
I have a confession to make. It’s likely that by admitting this, I risk destroying what little street cred I have. But what the heck, here goes: I have always wanted to be a tour guide. That’s right. One of those people who walk backward and hold an umbrella and tell you all sorts of stuff that you never knew you cared about.
I can trace my ambition back to the umpteen college tours I took as a brace-faced high schooler. If I had to guess, I’d say my father and I went on at least two dozen. I loved listening to the student tour guides rattle off obscure facts about each institution: This building is where Spam was invented; this lab is where cold fusion was discovered; this cornerstone is made from rare marble that was a gift from an Indian Maharaja.
Those plucky college kids seemed to know so much trivia, and that trivia made them seem smart. I too wanted to have a cache of factoids in my brain that I could sprinkle into conversation and give the appearance of being learned.
Too bad there weren’t a lot of solid job opportunities in the tour-guiding field, unless I wanted to work at Colonial Williamsburg or drive a tour bus around Washington, D.C. But I’ve found that reporting is nearly the same thing, only without the walking. You absorb a lot of knowledge tidbits, pass them on to people and feel semi-smart until the next story comes along, and you promptly forget everything you learned the week before.
Since moving to Vermont four years ago, the only tour I have taken is the wagon one at Shelburne Farms, three times. So when the opportunity arose to take a historic tour of the University of Vermont, and write about it, I offered myself up.
The UVM historic tour, which has run for slightly more than a year, was the university’s response to a call for more interpretive history offerings from Vermont’s Department of Tourism. It’s distinct from the standard campus tours for prospective students; you’re not going to learn about the food in the dining hall, the atmosphere of the dorms or the university’s “extracurricular offerings.” Like the Queen City Ghostwalk in downtown Burlington and farm tours around the state, it’s seasonal. But, unlike the self-guided walking tours of the heritage districts of Vermont cities such as Montpelier and Barre, UVM’s historical jaunts are led by a tour guide with extensive knowledge of the university.
Despite the reporting I’ve done on UVM, all I knew about the school before the historical tour was that marauding Ira Allen founded it some years back. On a recent drizzly Saturday morning, Professor Emeritus Bill Averyt changed that. Thanks to his expert tour guiding, I now know what a Syrian Arch is and where the term “Richardsonian Romanesque” came from. I know why many of the UVM buildings have multiple dates engraved in their bases and that there is an underground spring on the campus green. I know so much about UVM that I could fool someone into thinking not only that I went to school there, but that I designed the campus myself.
Averyt, a former professor in the School of Business Administration, isn’t cruising around campus to earn work-study cash. The 65-year-old Fulbright Fellow, Woodrow Wilson Fellow and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Grantee says he gets a kick out of being a tour guide. It’s a hobby and a labor of love. He also leads tours at Shelburne Museum and in Key West, where he lives for most of the year.
It took “many, many practices” to get the tour whittled down to a presentation that would make sense to campus visitors, Averyt says. Judging from his performance, he’s got it pretty well massaged. The tour begins at 9 a.m. at the statue of Ira Allen on the campus green. Averyt, his voice equal parts soothing and excited, explains that Allen offered the state legislature 50 acres and 4000 pounds sterling to start a college in this new settlement of Burlington. In 1791, a new institution called Universitas Viridis Montis, or University of the Green Mountains, was born. (The abbreviation UVM comes from the school’s original Latin name — better than UGM, for sure.)
The 10 people taking the hour-and-a-half tour on this particular Saturday range from out-of-state parents dropping off their student children to local history buffs. Averyt, wearing khaki trousers, a plaid collared shirt and a lightweight raincoat, sets the scene by asking participants to imagine what the area looked like when the university was founded 218 years ago. Much of the site was a dense white pine forest. Between the hilltop and the lake lay two villages that had sprung up over the years, with a combined population of about 200 people.
The campus doesn’t offer much to distract us from Averyt’s colorful description. At this “early” hour, few cars drive down University Place, and only a handful of students pass the group.
Averyt asks us to turn our attention to the buildings that make up University Row, formerly known as High Street. Along with the campus green, these structures — Old Mill, Billings Library and the Royall Tyler Theatre most prominent among them — form a designated Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.
The walking tour doesn’t take us beyond the central quad, but Averyt also offers insight on some of the earliest surviving structures in Burlington. Pearl House, Pomeroy Hall, Moses Catlin-John Johnson House and others stand near the green or within pointing distance. Conspicuously absent from Averyt’s dissertation is any substantive mention of the Davis Center, the university’s newest and most controversial building.
Averyt’s retention of even the most obscure details is impressive. Sure, he’s been doing the tours for a year, but this guy knows what a hammerhead beam is. He knows the environmentalist movement was pioneered by UVM alumnus George Perkins Marsh in his book Man and Nature, and that the first comedic play in the U.S., The Contrast, was written by Royall Tyler, a Vermont Supreme Court judge and university law professor. Perhaps the best trivia-quiz fodder Averyt gives us is the definition of a gnomonologist and where on campus such a person’s handiwork might be found. Hint: It tells time.
I wasn’t the only one enlivened by Averyt’s encyclopedic mind. Mary Wallack, from Washington, D.C., has come to drop off her daughter, Alexis Smith, for her junior year at UVM; she decided to take the tour after reading about it on a website for parents. “This is so much more detailed than other tours,” Wallack says.
Rocel Kingman, of Orono, Minn., has just moved her son, Ted, into the dorms and wants to give him time to get adjusted. The tour seemed like a good idea. “I didn’t want to hang around him. I wanted to do my own thing,” Kingman says. She declares herself impressed with the volume of information Averyt presents, especially the details about Billings Library and its namesake and patron Frederick Billings, a railroad developer and UVM alumnus for whom Billings, Mont., and Billings, N.D., were named. Kingman’s family has connections to Montana, so that part of the tour was particularly interesting, she says.
Averyt’s was an impressive display of tour-guidery. By the end of an hour and a half, my brain was bursting with nuggets of info. I now know where the Bittersweet got its name, who is buried behind Ira Allen Chapel and what the Boulder Honor Society was — at least until the next story assignment prompts me to forget.

App Name: SeekDroid
Usage: Lost phone locator
Price: $0.99
If you have ever lost a phone you know how much you would give to be able to find out exactly where it was, or if you lost it in your house how about having it make a sound so that you can find it. SeekDroid allows you to do all this and more for only a dollar.
SeekDroid allows you to remotely do a few very useful things:
-
- Reteive SIM ID, IMEI, and
active phone number
There is a lite version of the app, but the only thing it does is let you locate your phone. It may cost $0.99, but remember that when your phone is stolen, it’s too late and you will wish you were about to part with the buck.
Not many screenshots on this one because the app itself doesn’t have much of an interface yet there is a shot of the website for tracking your device. Download and enjoy.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital, after the discovery of a blood clot, stemming from a concussion she sustained earlier this month.
Her doctors reportedly discovered the clot during a follow-up exam today; she is being treated with anti-coagulants.
She will stay in the New York Presbyterian Hospital, so doctors can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.

Getting Published in Science:
First-Time Authors Share Their Stories
Matthew Lamanna was a 25-year-old graduate student, eating lunch outside in Spring 2001 when his research partner, Joshua Smith, shouted from a nearby window: "It's in! We're in Science!" Lamanna shouted back: "Oh man, wow!"
Their Science odyssey had begun when Smith was 29, and his head was hanging from a different window¾a Land Cruiser lost in Egypt's Bahariya Oasis, where he was collaborating with researcher Attia Yousry of the Egyptian Geological Museum. "Hey," Smith recalls saying, after spotting something in the sand, "that looks like a bone." It was a fossilized bone, in fact, from one of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered.
Like Lamanna and Smith, Frank Heppner¾now four years from retirement at the University of Rhode Island¾also recalls being elated when, as a 27-year-old graduate student in 1967, his first paper was accepted by Science. "Are you kiddin' me?" he jokes, when asked if the publication helped propel his career. "A grad student with a paper in Science? It was worth gold. My memory isn't that good, but I imagine I did handsprings, screams of joy, whatever we did before high-fives."
First-time Science author, Cindy Van Dover, an assistant professor at the College of William & Mary, recalls watching the outline for two companion manuscripts emerge on a ship's blackboard, while she was completing field research in the Indian Ocean. "We knew we wanted to try for a Science type of manuscript¾a discovery paper," Van Dover says of her research on hydrothermal vent organisms. Her manuscript was ultimately delivered by satellite e-mail to the journal's online submission system, on 19 July 2001. It was accepted 30 working days later, on 31 August, and published online Science Express two weeks later, appearing in print on 26 October (vol. 294, issue 5543, pp. 818-823).
Van Dover considered other journals, but selected Science after talking with an editor about the journal's readership (more than one million people worldwide); illustration options; and print and online article word-counts. At about 4,400 words, including some 65 references and notes, her manuscript was submitted as a research article, which can include up to 4,500 words¾rather than a report, which puts the cap at 2,500 words, or a Brevia of fewer than 1,000 words.
Manuscript preparation meant a long stretch of all-nighters for Lamanna, Smith, and co-authors-supervised by veteran paleontologist Peter Dodson at the University of Pennsylvania. Because they were in Egypt, the two young scientists had a friend submit their work online, through the web submissions site, the method most preferred by Science editors, on 9 March 2001. Their paper was submitted in the category for research reports, running about 1,500 words, with 47 references and notes.
One of more than 7,000 manuscripts submitted to Science each year¾with 52 percent from countries beyond the United States¾the dinosaur paper was first evaluated by R. Brooks Hanson, Deputy Managing Editor in charge of physical sciences, who had talked with Smith by phone. Like about a third of all submissions, it got a preliminary pass from a manuscript editor¾in this case, Hanson, who felt it met Science's key conditions of acceptance, by revealing "a novel concept of broad importance to the scientific community," which had never previously been disclosed to the public. "We look initially for editorial and scientific integrity," Hanson explains. "We're looking for solid research that says something new."
Katrina Kelner, Deputy Managing Editor in charge of biological sciences, notes that many of the journal's finest papers have been "clever, elegant, basic biology," such as recent investigations of the structure of ribosome, the cellular protein factory. Roughly 60 percent of all published papers have historically fallen into the biological realm, she adds. "Not every paper makes it onto the front page of a major newspaper," she says. "But, they all must meet our criteria for originality, presenting a novel idea that's likely to stimulate further investigation or debate, maybe even a whole new way of thinking about an important question."
After determining that the sauropod paper met this standard, Hanson routed it to a Board of Reviewing Editors, assigned to assess the potential significance, quality and interest of submissions. One of about 100 leading, active scientists on the reviewing board again gave the paper a pass, noting that it revealed crucial new information about dinosaurs and where they lived in Africa.
Finally, the manuscript was assessed by anonymous peer reviewers, selected for their expertise in the field, who returned more good news.
On Friday, 1 June 2001, a report on Smith's discovery appeared in Science (vol. 292, issue 5522, pp. 1704-06), placing it among the 10 percent of all submissions annually accepted for publication. "I was really surprised with how fast the thing got turned around," Smith says of his experience, adding that "it was pretty bug-free, overall."
To ensure accurate news coverage, AAAS shared the research one week in advance with pre-registered journalists, but asked them to hold or "embargo" their stories until 2:00 pm Eastern Time on Thursday, 31 May. Thus, thousands of reporters worldwide had a week to understand the research and prepare their stories. Smith soon found himself wryly explaining to CNN correspondent Ann Kellan that Paralititan stromeri, the "tidal giant" he found fossilized in Egypt, was "a big boy."
As soon as the Science embargo lifted, news of Smith's find rapidly spread around the world. "I was completely stunned at the level of attention we got, and indeed, are continuing to get," he says. "We made something like 175 newspapers worldwide within the first 24 hours. I dealt with 30 to 35 calls a day for the week preceding the release of the story, and much of the week after. Matt and I were getting calls from every TV station in the country, it seemed. We learned very quickly how to deal with the media."
Because of the embargo system, most of the coverage was accurate, Smith says, although in hindsight, he wishes that his Egyptian collaborators had been featured more extensively in news reports.
Not all Science papers generate such broad news coverage. But, the AAAS provides journalists with a lay-language summary of every forthcoming research article¾not just the most easily accessible topics. And, information is disseminated to some 3,900 journalists registered to use the AAAS science news site, EurekAlert!
In keeping with the association's mission to enhance public understanding and appreciation of research, recent Science Press Packages have included, for example, a description of Marc Tatar's study of insulin-like receptors in fruit flies and their impacts on lifespan. For lay people, Tatar's research was complex, showing that flies with mutant receptors could live up to 85 percent longer. The work was covered by a half-dozen ambitious journalists, including one at The Financial Times of London, who reported on Tatar's "evidence of an ageing system that may promote long life."
Cindy Van Dover was preparing for the start of Fall classes when she got word of her paper's acceptance, following a review process that she describes as "extraordinarily professional." She was unprepared for the journal's new "just-in-time" rapid publishing schedule: "Who would expect to submit a major revision on a Friday afternoon, and learn on a Sunday morning that the manuscript was accepted!" she says. "Definitely a surprise."
Science Express, a new feature of Science and Science Online, permits rapid electronic publication of selected research papers and Perspectives, editor Katrina Kelner notes.
Why are some papers published first on Science Express, appearing a few weeks later in print? Editors evaluate the work's importance and timeliness, Kelner says. The online venue makes it possible to publish, for example, hot papers likely to turn a long-standing theory on its head, or findings with immediate public-health impacts, such as recent articles on the hoof-and-mouth epidemic in Great Britain. When such issues exist, Kelner notes, papers can be reviewed within days, and certain papers are published within 10 days of acceptance¾though most appear about 4 to 6 weeks after getting the green light.
Like Van Dover, author Marc Tatar also reports a good review experience in publishing his study: "The review process was very timely and efficient," he says. "The reviewers helped clarify some of the conceptual places that were muddy and identified places that needed strengthening."
Tatar chose Science because, he says, "the paper crossed a lot of different disciplines, from aging research to insect physiology, and we wanted to reach a broad audience." He also appreciated the journal's editorially independent status within the nonprofit AAAS, founded in 1848.
Science's long-standing reputation, as a journal established in 1880 by Thomas A. Edison, was the key for veteran Frank Heppner, too, who says he went with AAAS some 34 years ago for "the prestige, snob value, and career enhancement!"

Bravos for Social Media Bootcamp
Tons of transformational ideas, tools and Twitter tips highlighted the AAJA Seattle Spring Training Social Media and Self-Branding Bootcamp on March 28. Sona Patel, Lauren Rabaino and Brian Rosenthal of the Seattle Times did a dynamite job dishing out info and inspiration (plus a tour of the newly consolidated Times newsroom).
The talented trio asked us to blog about our five top takeaways. My list:
Interact. Subscribe to blogs. Follow people who are doing what you want to do. Comment on their posts. Lauren shared an anecdote from her student days how she posted on a Big-Shot Journalist’s blog and he responded, much to her delighted astonishment. It marks you as someone who contributes to the discourse and helps establish you as a credible source of information.
Use your name or a consistent alias across all platforms. To build the brand, you need a unified naming convention on Twitter, your website, Facebook, LinkedIn.
Tweet where you’re at. Beaming out that you’re at a school board meeting, tech conference (or AAJA event!) builds credibility that you’re covering what’s important, doing the footwork.
Don’t sweat the SEO. People will find you if you write well about what matters to you, said Lauren. Brilliant strategy.
Always have visuals – makes posts more shareable. To wit: Fueling up for the drive home to Bellingham, I stopped afterward at Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream for a triple hot fudge sundae (salted caramel, Scout mint and vegan coconut chunk!). Noticed they had a map showing their ingredients’ origin. Noticed their milk and cream come from the Edaleen Dairy in Lynden. Realized this would make a fun post on my Blue Ribbon blog about local food, farming and fairs. Also, realized, with regret, that a photo of the little thumbtack on “Lynden†would’ve made the post 10 times cooler. Hit home that I need to take my camera everywhere — even the malt shop.Posted in Members, Multimedia, Programs, Uncategorized | Tagged AAJA, AAJA Seattle, Edaleen Dairy, Molly Moon Ice Cream, Multimedia, socialmedia, training | Comments Off

Residents in Queensland's 73 councils go to the polls on Saturday, but many have already cast postal votes.
The Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) says several shires will operate under a full postal system as there will be no polling booths.
The LGAQ says that means in close contests, it may take several days for the final outcome to be known.
LGAQ spokesman Greg Hallam says it will be up to the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ) to declare winners.
"We are hoping that a lot of those results can be known," he said.
"Clearly though in a situation where the gap between the first and second candidates is in fact smaller than the outstanding postals, then the ECQ cannot declare that result.
"They have to wait the full 10 days or until such time as the gap between the candidates is greater than the outstanding postals."
Mr Hallam says the LGAQ wants councils to have the right to run its own elections in the future, not the ECQ.
He says councils want the ability to administer the elections themselves or employ a contractor.
"What we've seen in the two elections now, the costs have gone up ... [sometimes] 250 per cent increases and there's relatively high level of dissatisfaction," he said.
"From where we sit, I think they've certainly improved their game, but there are always going to be some inherent difficulties when they have dual responsibilities to the State Government and to local government."
Mr Hallam says there are also other problems with the current system.
"There's always going to be a concern when you have a body as big as the ECQ - and they have to do 73 elections - that there is some cross-contamination of the ballot," he said.
"There've been some stories already that have suggested that's happened.
"We strongly believe that councils should have the option of doing it themselves, using the ECQ or another contractor."

By Jeff BrownKnight Ridder Newspapers(KRT)
All of us who own stocks or stock funds are moaning and groaning about the 3-year-old bear market. But there's another group of sufferers: fixed-income investors, many of them elderly.
True, falling interest rates did push bond prices up last year. But many investors who owned bonds that matured or were called early saw their incomes plummet after they reinvested.
Today, you're lucky to make 2 or 3 percent on bank savings. If you're replacing a 10-year Treasury bond that just matured, your yield is dropping from 6.3 percent to 3.7 percent.
Is there a way a senior can make up the income gap?
One alternative: a reverse mortgage, a way to pull money out of your home without saddling yourself with monthly payments, as you would with a home equity loan.
While reverse mortgages are not suitable for everyone, low interest rates and rising home prices make them particularly attractive right now for those who can stomach the high up-front fees and compounding interest charges.
A 75-year-old who owns a $150,000 home could get a reverse-mortgage loan for nearly $98,000 today, compared to $84,000 when rates were 1 percentage point higher a year ago, for example.
Like, since the money is a loan rather than income.
The longer you have the loan, the more interest you would owe. But federal regulations limit the total amount owed to the value of the property. If the property value falls or if the homeowner lives to be very old, interest charges or money received on the monthly payment plan can exceed the property's value.
That, of course, is a risk that worries lenders. To reduce this prospect, they limit the initial loan amount, considering factors such as interest rates and the homeowner's life expectancy. (If you have a previous loan on the property, a portion of the reverse mortgage must be used to pay that off.)
Hence, the older you are, the more money you can get. A 62-year-old with a $150,000 home might get $83,000, while an 85-year-old could get $113,000.
In the same way, lower interest rates allow homeowners to lock in much larger loan amounts than they can get when rates are high. Once this loan amount is set, it is permanent, even if interest rates rise later. So it might pay to lock in now, while rates are low.
The interest charges applied to the loan float, changing either once a month or once a year. Typically, they are based on the rate paid by one-year Treasury notes, plus a "margin" of 1.5 percent or 2.1 percent, depending on whether the borrower chooses the monthly or annual adjustment. Currently, the combined rate on monthly adjustments, chosen by most borrowers, is 2.8 percent.
Although the homeowner doesn't make payments on the loan, low interest rates mean interest charges don't build up as much, so there's more money left for the homeowner or heirs after the loan is paid off.
What's the downside?
The biggest one is fees, which can run to thousands more than you might pay on an ordinary mortgage.
These include a fee of several hundred dollars to appraise the property, a loan origination fee of up to $2,000, an insurance premium paid at closing equal to 2 percent of the property's value, a monthly insurance premium that adds 0.5 percent to the loan rate and a monthly servicing fee of up to $35.
Another major drawback: Since the borrower doesn't pay interest each month, interest charges compound - you pay interest on interest. Hence, you might pay much more in interest than you would on an ordinary mortgage or home equity loan.
Hence, it often makes better financial sense to sell a home, buy a cheaper one and live off the difference. Or you might do better with an ordinary mortgage or home equity loan, assuming you have the income to qualify.
But a reverse mortgage can work well for an elderly homeowner who wants to stay in a home, can't borrow elsewhere, really needs the money and isn't concerned that compounding interest charges will chew away at the equity that can be left to heirs.
Be sure to do plenty of shopping around. The AARP has a good brochure that can be ordered at 1-800-424-3410 or viewed at. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which backs most reverse mortgages, has materials that can be ordered at 1-800-217-6970 or viewed at.
Also try the Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association at. Materials can be ordered at 1-866-264-4466.

BALTIMORE (WMAR) - Robert Gladden, the teen charged in Monday’s shooting at Perry Hall High School, has yet to appear before a bond court judge.
Court officials say Gladden is still undergoing psychiatric evaluation and will not appear in bond court until evaluations have been completed.
Many expected Gladden to appear before a judge Wednesday after attempted murder and assault charges against him were announced by officials Tuesday .
Investigators say Gladden brought a broken down shotgun to school on Monday, assembled it in a bathroom and then walked into the school’s cafeteria. A special needs student was shot and has been in critical condition at a local hospital since the incident.
The only court date currently on the books for Gladden is a preliminary hearing scheduled for September 7 at 8:30 a.m.
Students on Monday told ABC2 News reporters Gladden was bullied. They say he also provided what may have been a preview to the incident on his Facebook page. While investigators and school officials say they have not found any proof he was bullied, they admit social media is a part of their investigation.
Be sure to check back with ABC2 News as we continue to follow this story.

Cycling's governing body is removing
Lance Armstrong's name from the record books.
Armstrong, once considered to be the greatest cyclist in Tour de France
history, has been formally stripped of his seven titles and banned for life for
his alleged role in what is considered by U.S. authorities to be a massive
doping program.
In a news conference, Pat
McQuaid, president of the International Cycling Federation, said that "Lance Armstrong has no
place in cycling, and he deserves to be forgotten in cycling."
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

The first names of those that will be speaking at the Republican National Convention have been officially announced, and with the announcement comes some raised eyebrows.
But it appears that not having your name on the list, doesn't necessarily mean you won't be speaking.
In fact, Alec Poitevint, Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, says in the next few weeks we can expect more names to be added. He says the selection of the speakers is an arduous process filled with input from hundreds from various agencies, even general public opinion is considered.
Jim Davis, former Florida and United States Representative says history shows that if a name doesn't appear on the speaker list, there is a good chance they are still in the running to fill that Vice President candidate slot.
Either way, one thing is for sure, the GOP knows exactly what they are doing.
"This is all going to be very carefully calculated," says Davis.
Davis says the Republicans have a distinct plan as they strategically roll our the names of those that will be speaking at the RNC.
"I think that the Republican Party did two things today, both were wise. I think they touted out some of their best and brightest and they mixed into that some of the people that they have to ask to speak.
He adds he's not just looking at the names that have been introduced, but he says just as important, if not more, is when these people will take the podium. He says the prime time speakers will be the ones to watch, the ones the Republican party really want to showcase. As for those that have yet to be named?
"Many of these people that are being touted as Vice Presidential candidates are leaders in their own right. I think they will all be speaking in some way at the convention."
He says people like former Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice will have a lot to bring to the table on hot-button issues like foreign policy.
People like Governor Rick Scott and Senator John McCain are more formalities, he says. Those two are more like a tradition because they won't help to swing the votes in his opinion.
Speakers like South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez will get the attention of the women voters as they both made history by becoming the first female governors in their respective states.
While we expect to hear more announcements on those who will be slated to speak, the question still remains, who will get the nod for Vice President?
Despite much conversation, Davis doesn't seem to think it will be Florida Senator Marco Rubio. He says he thinks the battleground state of Ohio will get the green light.
"Today, I put my money on Rob Portman," predicts Davis.
Portman, the junior state Senator from Ohio, has been really impressing people in the past couple of months, according to Davis..

Dotti Disposable Camera is the latest application from Sincerely Inc.’s developer team which is already a name that has created its mark among smartphone users with some wonderful apps like Postagram Postcards and Holiday Cards for Android and iOS. The base concept behind those previous two apps is simple, just personalize a postcard on your smartphone (with a photograph, style and message of your choice), print and sent it directly where you want it to be by postal code. Now the latest app, Dotti Disposable Camera converts your device into a classic disposable camera, complete with sound effects and animations, and allows you to fill its camera roll with almost 12 captured photos. While filling the roll with snaps, you'll be able to place its delivery order to an address as you like to get it. Every photo gets printed on 6x4 in. full quality fine paper and therefore the entire compilation gets delivered in an exceedingly solidly designed envelope to stay your snaps protected. Relying upon the target location, cargo charges and delivery time could vary.
The printed picture is standard size of 15x10 cm (6x4 inches). The set of 12 pictures will cost about $ 4.99 for delivery in the United States and $ 5.99 for the rest of the world - with an expected arrival within one week. To get double prints, you will need to pay a further $3.
With Dotti, you can create multiple albums. Click to photograph and observe the number of pictures remaining in the upper right corner of the screen. After the capture of each image you can choose whether to keep or discard the photo. When the film is ready, you can proceed to the registration information, address and payment.
Dotti Disposable Camera has a very unique software based on it’s concept. It leverages the high quality digital cameras of the iPhone and Android to produce printed albums. The app is very easy to use for delivery and the price is cheap for anywhere.
Although it has some drawbacks which should be added in future. Like Dotti does not store any of the images created through the app. Also, you can not choose different sizes of photos or send more than 12 images. Another thing to note that the application is a bit slow at the time of capturing images and do not have any options of editing, allowing only the user to enable or disable the camera flash. It would be even cooler to insert effects, cuts and changing colors in your photographs before sending the print request.
Dotti Disposable Camera is available for free in the iTunes App Store and Android Market. It needs Android 2.1 or higher and iOS 4.3 or later to run.

BY LARRY LAGE, AP Sports Writer
3:30 AM CST, January 3, 2011
DETROIT - Brett Favre lingered on the sideline during what was likely the last game of his 20-season career, often looking like he'd rather be lounging on a couch back home in Mississippi.
Now, he can.
The three-time MVP quarterback was inactive with a concussion, but walked onto the field briefly as his Minnesota Vikings teammates desperately tossed laterals to each other before running out of time and hope as the Detroit Lions won 20-13 Sunday.
When the game ended, the 41-year-old Favre jogged diagonally across the turf - waving once toward Detroit's sideline - with the only burst of energy he showed all afternoon and went up a ramp toward the locker room.
So long, Brett.
''I would have liked to have played,'' he said. ''The wise choice was not to play. I was OK with it.''
Favre said he passed a post-concussion test a couple days before the game, but getting knocked out for what he said was 10 or 15 seconds two weeks ago when Chicago's Corey Wootton slammed his helmet to the frozen turf seemed to scare him away from risking another head injury.
''It's been a wonderful ride for me,'' he said. ''One game, one season does not define me. There will be people saying, 'It's a shame he went out that way.'
The Lions (6-10), meanwhile, closed the season with a four-game winning streak, and tripled last season's win total. Shaun Hill threw for 258 yards and a touchdown, and Maurice Morris scored on a 4-yard run with 9:29 left to give the Lions a 10-point lead before the Vikings' Ryan Longwell kicked a 48-yard field goal with 1:55 left.
''We wanted to be remembered for the way we finished this season,'' second-year coach Jim Schwartz said. ''We beat three teams that were in the playoff mix, two of them on the road.''
The Vikings (6-10) ended a lost season by putting Favre on the inactive list, and with rookie Joe Webb making his second start.
They opened the season with Super Bowl hopes, but week after week of team turmoil took its toll, especially on Favre.
He sustained a series of injuries and wound up sitting out three of the Vikings' final four games. Adding to his misery, Favre was fined $50,000 on Tuesday for failing to cooperate with an NFL investigation into allegations of tawdry interactions with a game-day hostess when both worked for the New York Jets in 2008.
After his postgame news conference Sunday, Favre didn't answer a reporter who asked for his reaction to NFL's ruling.
The Vikings also fired Brad Childress during the tumultuous season, finishing with Leslie Frazier as interim coach, had a failed reunion with Randy Moss and two home game were moved because snow collapsed the Metrodome's roof and a blizzard pushed another game to a Tuesday night.
Team owner Zygi Wilf wouldn't discuss Frazier's future with the team after the finale.
Frazier said he planned to talk with ownership Sunday night or today.
''Nothing has been solidified,'' Frazier said.
Favre walked onto the Ford Field turf about 40 minutes before kickoff, looking much like he did Dec. 13 in the same stadium where his NFL-record, 297-game starting streak ended because of a banged-up right shoulder and numb right hand in a game against the New York Giants in the first of two relocated games.
He was wearing a purple knit hat, short-sleeved black shirt with a long-sleeved white shirt underneath and black warmup pants and was willing to talk to anyone who crossed his path. He later put on a baseball cap with a '4' on it, but covered all of it other than the bill - perhaps to avoid another fine from the league for wearing gear it hadn't approved.
During the game, Favre sometimes stood by himself and simply looked bored as a witness to a sport he played with so much joy and success since 1992 - his first season with Green Bay after being drafted by Atlanta.
Favre couldn't wait to get off the sideline for the final time.
Down by a touchdown, the Vikings got the ball back with 10 seconds left and made several laterals in an attempt to score.
Favre, who inched onto the field and had to be nudged back to the sideline when time ran out but the final play was still ongoing, dashed for the exit in what wasn't the way he wanted to go out.
He acknowledged some will doubt he's truly done after coming back from two retirements earlier in his career, but insisted this is it.
''It's time,'' Favre said.
Notes: Detroit avoided finishing alone in last for the first time in three years and put Minnesota in a last-place tie for first time since 1990. ... Lions Pro Bowl receiver Calvin Johnson was active, but didn't play because of his injured right ankle. ... Minnesota RB Adrian Peterson had 14 carries for 31 yards, falling 2 yards short of joining Earl Campbell as only players with at least 1,300 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns in their first four seasons. ... Lions RB Jahvid Best set a team rookie with 58 receptions and Brandon Pettigrew broke a franchise record for tight ends with 71 catches.

Ravens 33, Giants 14Ravens 33, Giants 14
Strategy: Offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell finally put his creative stamp on the offense, orchestrating season highs with 533 yards of total offense and 224 rushing yards. That included an option pitchout from Joe Flacco, getting Ray Rice isolated against slower linebackers to good effect, and selectively targeting suspect cornerback Corey Webster. Getting wide receiver Torrey Smith in single coverage against Webster was an effective gambit to gain separation. They used faster-developing plays. The Ravens used no-huddle 21 times and a shotgun formation 22 times out of 81 snaps. Of the Ravens' 10 longest plays, seven came out of no-huddle or shotgun looks. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees deployed his safeties as edge pass rushers to get a speed mismatch, lining up Courtney Upshaw at nose tackle to allow him to shoot gaps. Pees brought fire blitzes inside with linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Brendon Ayanbadejo to disrupt Eli Manning.
Personnel: Ellerbe's return provided a boost to the defense. Ma'ake Kemoeatu started at nose tackle, but Terrence Cody played slightly better as Kemoeatu had little impact. James Ihedigbo started at strong safety with Bernard Pollard out again with damaged ribs. Ihedigbo had two quarterback hits. Chykie Brown proved capable in nickel duties, replacing Jimmy Smith. Right guard Marshal Yanda's presence upgraded the blocking, taking pressure off rookie Kelechi Osemele. Tight end Ed Dickson's return bolstered the offense.
What went right: Flacco was decisive and accurate, delivering the football with confidence and timing. He was 7-for-7 throwing to Anquan Boldin, 6-for-7 targeting Rice, 5-for-11 to Smith for 88 yards and a score and 4-for-5 to tight end Dennis Pitta. Flacco's quarterback sneak went for a touchdown this time instead of a fumble. The pass blockers improved, allowing no sacks and just two quarterback hits. Terrell Suggs' torn right biceps wasn't as problematic this game. Manning was sacked three times, and the Ravens had a season-high nine quarterback hits. Rice and rookie Bernard Pierce ran roughshod, each eclipsing 100 yards. Pierce displayed his speed on a career-long 78-yard run. Justin Tucker kicked four field goals.
What went wrong: Cary Williams had some coverage lapses, misplaying the ball. Ed Reed's high shoulder hit on Victor Cruz could be costly through a fine or even a suspension as the NFL regards him as a repeat offender. Upshaw and Josh Bynes were driven several yards backward on a touchdown run. Michael Oher managed to commit three penalties in one drive: a false start, holding and a personal foul.
Turning point: Rice sprinted away from overmatched linebacker Michael Boley, accelerating for a 27-yard touchdown reception that staked the Ravens to a commanding 24-7 lead before halftime.
X-factor: Torrey Smith's speed sets him apart, but his improved body control and hands are what allowed him to break out of a mini-slump. He had a slick one-handed sideline catch. Defenses will have to account for the former Maryland standout during the playoffs.
Strategy: Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden loves to have Andy Dalton throw deep to ultra-talented wide receiver A.J. Green. Green was targeted 18 times and made 10 receptions for 116 yards, with one of those catches setting up the game-winning field goal. Green is one of the most gifted young players around, the prototypical go-to guy. Wide receivers Marvin Jones and Andrew Hawkins and big tight end Jermaine Gresham are complementary options for Dalton, who's willing to take chances and paid the consequences with two interceptions and six sacks while launching 41 passes Sunday. Cincinnati had to abandon an unproductive running game. The Bengals have a formidable defensive front, and Mike Zimmer doesn't need to call blitzes constantly. He can rely on the considerable talents of star defensive tackle Geno Atkins — one of the best young defensive linemen in the NFL — and athletic, rangy defensive ends Michael Johnson and Carlos Dunlap. Zimmer is regarded as somewhat unpredictable and will bring safety and cornerback blitzes on occasion.
Personnel: Gritty left tackle Andrew Whitworth isn't that quick, but he has a strong hand punch and a good track record of stonewalling Terrell Suggs. Kevin Zeitler is a stout rookie guard, a powerful drive blocker. Gresham is a difficult assignment because he resembles a power forward. Atkins is a relentless combination run-stopper and pass-rusher with 13 sacks and four forced fumbles. He gave Matt Birk fits in September, and the ravens will need to build an effective game plan to prevent him from creating penetration. Linebacker Rey Maualuga has dropped 20 pounds to upgrade his mobility. Linebacker Vontaze Burfict has matured. He's operating with a serious, no-nonsense approach nowadays, and it shows in his play.
What went right: Green and Dalton built a good rhythm. Jones provided a shifty change of pace downfield. The defensive line got a lot of push, shooting gaps. The secondary prevented Ben Roethlisberger from striking deep. Leon Hall read his keys to pick off Roethlisberger for an interception that he returned for a touchdown. Roethlisberger completed only half his throws for one touchdown with two interceptions, resulting in 10 points and a low 58.6 quarterback rating.
What went wrong: Dalton held the football too long, resulting in some coverage sacks. He didn't always make good decisions on when to give up on a play. He was intercepted twice by Cortez Allen, who's usually an easy mark. The running game got obliterated, as "The Law Firm," BenJarvus Green-Ellis was handcuffed for 14 rushing yards on 15 carries for a 0.9 average. Dick LeBeau's run blitzes were effective. A holding penalty negated Jones' long punt return.
Turning point: Josh Brown kicked a 43-yard field goal with four seconds remaining to seal a 13-10 win and the sixth seed in the AFC playoffs for the Bengals. It was set up by Reggie Nelson's picking off an overthrown pass intended for Mike Wallace and Dalton's 21-yard sideline completion to Green to position Brown for the game-winner.
X-factor: Dalton performed some of his best work in clutch moments. Shaky earlier in the game, Dalton completed nine of 13 passes for 107 yards in the fourth quarter with one interception. He connected with Green for five completions for 78 yards in the final quarter.

I had adventures today!
First – I went to this clothing swap. You bring in some old clothes and you get to leave with new old clothes. I am, admittedly, a horrible packrat. I’m so bad at throwing things away. With clothes, I’m basically saving things for three reasons:
1. Nostalgia. The t-shirt Ian bought for me that says “Abortion Tickles” (romantic!), the my “Senior Women” tshirt from high school with the nickname on the back that no one ever really called me, etc.
2. In case Lauren has stylish kids. This is, in other words, the “in case it comes back into style” excuse, but that never actually happens. By the time a style comes back into style, it’s just slightly different enough that the genuine old stuff looks weird and ugly. Unless! You’re super-stylish. So in case Lauren’s daughters are super-stylish, or I guess Jen and Vivid Boobie’s, or whoever else wants to have daughters that they allow me to hang out with, I’m saving my furry red polyester tank top, and my pleather pants, and my black pleather-snakeskin cowboy hat. (Why all the pleather? I had frankly not noticed that before.)
One thing I need save no longer, for any reason: My hot-pink tube top.
Oh – I’m sorry. Is hot pink a little too much for you? Well, good thing this baby is reversible!
We got us some soft pink, too, for that innocent look. In fact, the straps are even removable, in case it’s too conservative for you as-is.
True story: the last time time (the only time, I swear to god, really, I promise, if it helps) I wore this shirt (“shirt”) was to the Granada with my sister and one of her douchebag boyfriends. If you’re not from Kansas, you might not realize all that saying “I wore a hot pink tube top to the Granada with my older sister” means, but trust me, it’s not good news. If it helps you to understand the situation a little better, let me add: I wore it with the pleather snakeskin cowboy hat.
I took a picture of myself with the hat, too, but I just cannot bring myself to post it.
Jesus christ – I’m sitting here remembering that I admitted to a student a week or two ago that I have a blog. Dear Student, PLEASE DO NOT FIND MY BLOG PLEASE. Love, Jessica’s Tube Top. Screw the shot of me ferociously sucking Nutella off the blade of a knife; screw the shot of me with a giant beet stuck in my front teeth. These two pictures are officially tied for Most Embarrassing Photo of Jessica, Ever. Why on earth do I keep putting this shit on the internet? I don’t have to do this. Why did I do this? Even as I type this I am realizing I could, theoretically, not post this. And yet.
Anyway – got rid of the tube top today at the swap. Traded it in for various other things I will likely never wear, either, including some kind of wacky Brit Pop military jacket that’s two sizes too big, and a ratty Kurt Cobain sweater with a hole in it that I bought imagining I would throw it on in case I’m like, out at the beach for a picnic or a clam bake or a bonfire party or something and it starts to get chilly at night. …You know. For all of the picnics and clam bakes and bonfire beach parties that I go to all the time. Also this dress, which I can’t tell if it’s like Twiggy-cute, or 15-year-old-at-the-mall-not-cute. My face looks like this because Erwin has just jumped up onto the table and is about to rub his face against my barely-balanced camera and knock it over:
I hosted two big swaps every year at home. I don’t think i’ll ever get new clothes again ever, now that i can’t get them for free.

One of the most winning and storied bikes in modern racing, the Pinarello Prince has more Grand Tour wins to its name than any other model of bicycle we can think of (True that Lance and Contador have won all their Tours on a Trek, but there have been a few different models in there.)
The third generation of a frame that was originally developed in the mid-1990’s, the 2008 Prince frame has a weight of well under a kilo, but maintains stiffness and razor sharp handling thanks to near magical CAD work by Pinarello’s engineering team and its Torayca Japanese 50K composite material. If you’re reading this though, you probably already know how incredible the Prince is; Bicycling magazine has gushed over this beauty a number of times.
We’d love to see this 55cm Prince find a new kingdom so we can make room for a new project bike. Built with Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 group including Dura-Ace 7850 tubeless road wheels, this yellow Prince also features the company’s stand-out M.O.st Talon Compact integrated carbon handlebar and stem and M.O.st carbon seatpost as well as a Fizik Arione CX saddle.
The first $8700 takes it and, as with all of our project bikes, we’re happy to swap a part or two if it’ll make the bike work better for you.If you're interested give us a call @ 415.389.5461, email or come by the shop.
By the way, these and many of our incredible photos are by local lensmen Dean Bentley. Soon enough we'll do a feature on Dean and his work. Stay tuned.

A part of me says yes, and a part says no. I will look into it with my Aura Effect too on my research. I think it is obvious that you choose your path (unless of mental or other difficulties).

and as far as the reflection goes, i really dont think anyone now needs an expert to show that those reflections are almost identical in those pictures that someone posted, anyone can see it with their own eyes, and because those two things have been pretty much proven, the whole story has tumbled like a house of cards.
thanks

Please don't elude to what I might or might not be forgetting. You're starting to act arrogant..
The lamp post to her, was irrelevant. But it turns out (due to her photos) it's become a focal point. It's really crappy luck to her but.......it's happened.
There is a chance, she took the photo of this lamp post (that wasn't in the forefront of her mind that evening) at the SAME time, this second object appeared.
She didn't notice it because her mind (and what she thought her camera was doing) was fixed to this flying (not a dead bug) object.
It COULD have happened that way.

Have you not ever wondered if maybe you are to blame for being here? Why would you be here in this awful world.. at this time? Something you may have done to trap you here for one lifetime, maybe many?
Is anyone to blame?
Did you come here to experience creating in the material because you chose to? As in.... your choice before you were formed in this material world? A lot of ancient texts say we did, including Genesis.
Jesus is our collective story.. the sum of man's story. He is the first and last Adam.

, with the number of such arrangements increasing by the year. The government, desiring to cut down the amount of rent paid to private landlords, held several design competitions for a new, massive building that would be suitable to house many agencies under one roof. Mayor Abram Hewitt appointed a commission to study suitable plans and plots of land in 1888, and four competitions were held between that year and 1907. The final competition was held by the Commissioner of Bridges, who had already secured a new plot of land to be used for a new

What a weekend! Fredericksburg is a great get-away and this wonderful experience we had was so much more enjoyable because of your special attention to detail. This amazing cottage that has your special touch, along with its indulgent pleasures, was a place we'll never forget. Thank you for making lifetime memories for our anniversary! We had a wonderful time and will recommend you to everyone to share this romantic place. We'll definitely come back! To sum up our stay in a few words...Ooh La La!
Kristi and Kirby
We had a wonderful time staying in your beautiful cottage. The food and complimentary wine were fantastic. The quiche was terrific. Every detail was perfect and more than we could have asked for. We will recommend your place to all of our friends and family.
Corey and Sherry
I just wanted to let you know that our visit totally exceeded our expectations.
The Hot Tub is an outdoor room that is totally built out with walls, a door, pictures on the website do not match what loveliness and roominess we found when we visited the Hot Tub Room.
The accommodations exceeded our expectation tremendously as well as the service provided by Laura. She was so lovely and so helpful giving us hints maps and expertise in where to go in the area.
During our stay we opted to have a lovely Brunch instead of the full breakfast we were offered (since we sleep in) that consisted of a gorgeous Cobb Salad with Mimosa's and Shrimp Cocktail. That was aside from the first day of fresh muffins, fruit, and quiche that was already in our room.
Our stay was so relaxing we were not ready to leave. Laura's attention to detail delighted us both each little surprise she left us, each bottle of wine made the trip a complete delight. Laura's decorating skills were marvelous and the beautiful French cottage could not have been more comfortable. We cannot wait to go again.

Ooh La La!!!! That's what guests say when they step into Ooh La La's romantic Paris Cottage! The first thing you may notice is the stunning, romantic decor centered around a beautiful tiled gas fireplace. The comfortable den is just perfect for putting your feet up, enjoying a glass of wine and catching up on everything you've been missing in today's busy world. Downstairs you will also find a kitchenette with all the conveniences and a fabulous Paris-themed bath.
The center-piece of this bath is the oversized whirlpool tub for two! Slip into the hot soothing bubbles and let the cares of the world melt away. Upstairs in the romantic open loft you will find a gorgeous king size bed. Vintage European touches pull together the high-end feel of this spectacular cottage.
Be sure and save time to enjoy a long soak in the screen-porched hot tub, while at the same time watching, get this, a 50" Flat Screen TV right there on the porch! Are you kidding me? A good hot tub is just the ticket after hitting the shops and sights of town, and you don't have to miss the ball game either! (Do remember you're on vacation, though. There are more important things than TV!)
Outside you will enjoy the beautifully landscaped garden with fountain and your own porch with two rockers, just perfect for solving the world's problems. Make Ooh La La - Paris Cottage your little love-nest the next time you head to the Hill Country!

I have had no issues with this product, I believe it doesn't get better than this other than being powered by its own water instead of electricity. I have had this product once before and returned it from another store thinking I didnt need it in my new home. I was wrong and had mold issues in my basement. I looked all over for this product and most places carry the hier brand which most people rate very low and have issues. ABT carries this this higher quality dehumidifier in which I was also glad to find it on sale when I bought it. This is a well designed product for the money..

The most important thing for me (and most) is a front intake and a top exahust. A 65 pint unit has to pull air from a large space, or multiple rooms. It is important it pulls from the front. As for exauhst, blowing out the sides or rear could potentially blow into a wall, or onto someone that is seated near by. Exhausting upwards never creates a problem. I had a 65 pint Fedders/Maytag before this. The only other model I have seen with front intake and top exhaust. It had two digital displays, one for your humidity setting, one for the actual humidity. The GE unit only has one display that toggles. The Maytag unit also had a one hour shut off or pause feature. The GE does not. I am trying to dehumidify a finished 900sqrft basement, that gets between 50-70% humid in the summer. The Maytag's lowest setting was 35%. The Maytag was 65pt as well, and at the most humidy could bring the space's humidity level down to 35% and shut off. The GE at the most humidy time a year in the basement can only get to 39 or 40% dry when running continuously in the same space. Both are 65pt/day capacity, but the Maytag had a bit more drying power. I can live with 40-45% humidity though in the basement, so I guess the GE still does ok for my application, I would have liked it to be able to take the 900sqrft to 35% humidity though during humid months, it validates it is enough dehumidifier for the space. The downside to the Maytag/Fedders is that it broke after a year (as many others have as well). Fedders got out of this business, as has Maytag, and they are not repairing or honoring the warranty on broken units that still should be covered. The GE is the only 65 pint front in take top exhaust unit I have seen that is still on the market. If its reliability holds up it will be the best unit out there. Apparently dehumidifiers must be tough to make reliable. Almost all brands out there seem to have repair issues. If this one holds up it will be well worth the money. The GE also heats a big space, taking my 68 degree basement to 77 degrees over the entire 900sqrft. The Maytag took the basement temp up to only 74 degrees. The GE does have a larger tank capacity 21 pints vs 17 pints, less trips to the sink. It also has an indicator on the bucket that shows you how close to full you are, pretty handy. I would give it 3 1/2 stars, but the rating only allows for 3 or 4 stars.ABT had the best price, excellent customer service, and shipped it to me right away. Their return policy is also top notch, they take the risk out of buying online. I would highly recommend them.

GE Dehumidifier (AHM65LK, 65 pt.)
By Rich
from De Queen, AR
This model works great for my humid garage. Living in the South, humidity is a problem and it makes my garage floor condensate. GE's dehumifier works great to control the problem. It's relatively quiet and quickly takes moisture out of the air.
You should get one.

Reviews of this GE model and ABT reputation brought me to this purchase. [...] and the product has to be THE best on the market. Quiet, adjustable fan speed, not much heat generated, and the controls are easy to operate. Get one. It's been the so quiet I almost forgot that it came.

65 pint GE Dehumidifier
By Joe
from Cleveland, OH
I have to agree with the other reviewer. I also had a Maytag dehumidifier which worked well but only last 3 yrs. I was unable to get the product repaired. This unit is similar to the Maytag 65 pint unit but does not dry as much as the Maytag did. Mind you, it does work well but has to be set to 40% humidity for the unit to shut off automaticly. AT 35% it will run continuously. It works, and keeps the basement dry but less powerful than the Maytag. [...] Good Luck.

I haven't owned it that long and I have set it up to drain into a drain. It seems to do the job and I know that consumer reports rated it high.
Exactly what I was looking for!!
By denise
from staten island, ny
I purchased this dehumidifier for my unfinished basement. This product works great at getting rid of that musty cellar smell. I put it on continous for one day and it dropped the humidity reading from 60 to 30 in 24 hrs. It works great for use in a cellar. It isn't too noisy, in fact it is quieter than the one had previously owned, but I wouldn't recommend it for an area you are actually in all the time. I would definitly recommend this to a friend.

Terrific product[...]
By Carol the do-it-your-selfer
from Marcellus, NY
It does an excellent job removing basement dampness. Managing the water bucket is a little awkward, since even slow emptying allows water to spill over the top from a separate compartment. It also gets quite heavy, but removing it when it's not full allows water to continue collecting without the pan there to catch it. All things considered, I'd buy it again.
exactly what I needed
By crossword addict
from Chicago, IL
I have basement that sometimes leaks. I need an automatic drying machine, and I just set this one in the middle of the floor and turned it on. I could not get the plastic bypass tube on far enough that the hose fitting would lie flush against the side of the unit, so I just left the hose coupling unmounted. No problem so far; drains fine.

Ryan Lochte Talks Dating, Marriage Plans & His Mom’s ‘One-Night Stand’ Comment
First Published: August 3, 2012 4:59 PM EDT Credit: Getty Images
LONDON, England --
Caption Ryan Lochte of the United States after winning Gold in the Final of the Men’s 400m Individual Medley on Day 1 of the London 2012 Olympic Games at the Aquatics Centre on July 28, 2012Ryan Lochte’s dating life might be prompting more headlines than his medal count (an impressive two gold medals, two silvers and a bronze), and Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush chatted with the Olympic star in London where he dished on his love life.
“I love ladies, yeah, of course,” Ryan, who celebrates his 28th birthday on Friday, said when asked about his reputation as a ladies’ man.
He might be single now, but Ryan is looking ahead to a life with a wife and children.
“Now that the games are all said and done, I definitely want to get married and have kids and start a family of my own,” he said. “Not right this second.”
So what kind of woman catches the swimmer’s eye?
“They have to be able to make me happy. Make me happy, keep a smile on my face and I got to be able to trust them,” he explained. “That’s who I’m going to settle down with and start a family with.”
Ryan also cleared up comments his mom made on Thursday, where she said he’s been known to have “one-night stands.”
“She meant that I go on dates… not… one night stands, not that,” he told Billy. “I’ve been in long-term commitment relationships before. And, you know what? I really wanted to give these four years to push… I wasn’t really committed into a relationship. I just kind of went on dates.”
And the Olympian couldn’t be prouder of the commitment he made.
“I’m at the Olympics. I’m representing my country. That’s something I’m really proud of,” he told Billy. “And I’m coming home with five Olympic medals, so I’m thrilled about that.”

Improving Executive Team Performance
Team negotiating - A horse of a different color - Six steps to improving your team's performance
One of the most important, yet underdeveloped, responsibilities of an executive team is negotiation. It is surprising how much time is actually spent persuading and influencing each other and others on major executive decisions. While the individual team members are generally highly knowledgeable about the company's technical issues, and individuals may be good intuitive negotiators, as a team they often fall short. By following the six recommendations below, an executive team can go from an average negotiation team one to a well-oiled machine.
1. Get the team trained in the fundamentals. Many of you may have learned first to negotiate in a haggling fashion -- you start high, I start low and we meet in the middle. Later, you may have been exposed to some form of a "win-win" approach. Unfortunately, individuals on a team may have totally different definitions of negotiating well. Have the team briefed on negotiation fundamentals. Having a common language will increase efficiency and effectiveness. Make sure that whatever system you utilize emphasizes interests: the needs, desires, wants and fears of the various parties. When many levels are involved, focusing on specific demands is a trap that leads to confrontation rather than collaboration. Emphasizing interests will help parties move towards mutually satisfactoryagreements.
2. Standardize preparation. Related to the training is creating a template and mindset for preparing and reviewing negotiations. Before a major negotiation, the individuals involved should present the major interests as stated above. Next, start generating creative options to meet those interests. Rather than focusing on the single right answer, brainstorm broadly to come up with solutions that meet a variety of needs. Third, think about the walk-away alternatives. If there is no agreement, what will the parties do?
3. Create clear goals and parameters. Every team member has a duty to push hard on these issues. The only way any individual or any team will be successful is if they know what the bottom line objectives are. Checking your assumptions of what success will look like in negotiation is critical. Also, the individuals heading off to a negotiation need to know the level of authority and parameters they can operate within. The biggest nightmare is when you've made an agreement that your executive team members criticize as something you weren't supposed to do.
4. Increase the learning curve. After major negotiations, spend time as a team making enhancements. For more minor situations, review on your own or with a colleague or friend. See your team members as coaches. Ask yourselves these two basic questions: a. What worked well? b. What might we have done differently? The purpose is to continually learn and get better. Negotiation provides a wonderful opportunity. Because you negotiate all the time, you have lots of real-time data to reflect upon to continually improve. But improvement doesn't happen automatically. It requires discipline, a team culture and individual mindsets for doing so.
5. Enhance the comfort level within the team. The more relaxed a team is the better it will perform. Before a major negotiation, give the negotiators a chance to kick back and rest as much as possible. Doing "dry-runs" can simulate the real thing so the negotiators will be ready for anything. Role-play your counterparts so your team will be better prepared to respond to the other side. Ask the negotiators what they need to be comfortable and confident going into a negotiation.
6. Negotiate inside out. The bottom line is that an executive team that does not negotiate well internally will run into huge problems with external negotiations. For example, if the executive team cannot agree on its growth strategy, the organization may grind to a halt or play out different individual's strategies rather than a consensus. The more your own house is in order, the better you can deal with outsiders. Conflict here is a chance to work them through to gain the hidden opportunities and values that exist. Too often executive teams avoid conflict for the sake of superficial harmony.

Q&A with Simon Wright of Dio Disciples on ‘The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2,’ AC/DC
Taken from Examiner.com by Simon Wright - read the full article HERE
A drummer since age 13, Simon Wright grew up on legends like Cozy Powell, John Bonham and Tommy Aldridge. He had barely entered his twenties when he joined AC/DC for the rest of the ’80s, then shifted over to Dio, the massive metal band formed by the late Ronnie James Dio, who previously lent his soaring voice and pen to bands like Black Sabbath and Rainbow (and popularized the “metal horns” gesture along the way).
Wright is currently a member of Dio Disciples, a celebration of the music and legacy of the eponymous frontman, who passed away from stomach cancer in 2010. Featuring distinguished Dio alumni (Craig Goldy and Scott Warren) along with Tim “Ripper” Owens (Judas Priest, Iced Earth), Oni Logan (Lynch Mob) and Bjorn Englen (Yngwie Malmsteen), the band kicks off their US tour Oct. 20 at the House of Blues Anaheim in support of the new Dio release The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2, which picks up where the original gold-selling release leaves off and includes Dio’s final studio recordings.
In this exclusive interview, I spoke with the Manchester native about his introduction to Dio while touring in Italy, a surprising AC/DC reunion that happened a few years back, and his eloquent account of the man known as Ronnie James Dio.
What kind of involvement did you have with the release of The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2?
The main body of involvement was done by Wendy [Dio] and her office manager Dean Schachtel. It’s a retrospective of the years between 1996 through the 2000s, [representing] the albums Angry Machines, Magica, Killing the Dragon and Master of the Moon. I saw the list and I thought, that’s a pretty strong list. There’s some really great songs on there that stand the test of time, you know?
What were some of your highlights of being a member of Dio?
Oh, there were so many - I was in his band 13 years. Working with him in the studio was great, just being around and seeing how it works and seeing how things developed and evolved, that was really cool. He had a great sense of which direction he was going to go in. And I guess live, we did a show in Germany= - I do refer to this quite a lot, but it was such a brilliant outing. I forget the year, you must forgive me, but it was in Wacken, in Germany, a festival we headlined, and at the end they presented Ronnie with a longevity award contribution to heavy metal, and it was just incredible - 40,000 people are chanting “Dio.” He was very proud, and we all were very proud of him. Hell of a night, fantastic show.
What was your personal introduction to Ronnie James Dio?
I first met him in 1985 when I was in AC/DC. There was a festival called Monsters of Rock, and up until then it had only been in England. And this particular one they decided to put it on in Italy and Greece, I think. Ronnie and Dio were on the Italian show [which was held in 1987—ed.], and I got to hang out with him afterwards and we sat down and I was talking and chatting with him, and I just found him to be a real gentleman, a really smart guy. A great sense of humour, too. And I met him a couple of times after that at parties, social gatherings and stuff, and the opportunity came around at the end of ’89. I got to move on from AC/DC and actually join his band, and I was very proud of that fact. It was a great time.
I read you joined AC/DC at age 20, is that right?
I was actually towards the end of being 19. But yeah, I was pretty young (laughs).
What was that experience like, and what was it they liked about you when they really could have picked anyone in the world at that point to be their drummer?
I don’t know what they liked about me; they never said (laughs). I heard a lot of drummers auditioned for that. They didn’t say who they were in the advertisement in the paper. I don’t know; something clicked. Maybe it was my height, you know? (Laughs) I’m not the tallest guy in the world, and neither are they. I really, really, don’t know. I just went in and played to three tracks, and they weren’t there—the drum tech was doing all the auditions because I think there were so many of them, and I ended up getting the job and just took it from there. They’re such down to earth people; it was great. I’ll never forget the ride they took me on.
How was your drum style implemented in AC/DC?
Before I got the job, I didn’t really change much from the way that I’d been playing. I’d mainly been playing in cover bands, only doing a couple of originals like most bands start out. But I knew their songs, and it’s just so apparent that you can’t go in there and try to change them and do drum fills everywhere, because that’s not the style of the way the band was, so I was very aware of that, even though I didn’t know who the band was when I was auditioning. I just did what I did—I went in there and they saw something and I got the job, you know? It’s a mystery, but I’m glad it happened, obviously.
In 1998 you played on Thunderbolt, an AC/DC tribute album. What kind of style did you bring to the session for that one?
If I remember right, I think I did “Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be” and “Night Prowler.” [It was] no different than what I’d already do…I think it would be blasphemy to play all over those songs, because I think Phil Rudd [Wright’s predecessor in AC/DC] did such a good job, you know? He’s as solid as solid can be. I just looked at it from that point of playing: you know, just be solid and just keep it pretty straightforward, really.
I don’t suppose you’d like to talk a little bit about the Flick of the Switch tour? I personally love that album, though you didn’t play on the record.
It was my first tour; that was my first tour that I did with them. I just remember the first show—it was in Vancouver, a place called Saddledome. It was so low-key, apart from the part there was like 22,000 people there. That’s just the way they worked things; they kind of made it really comfortable before I played and all. And I was under a little bit of pressure there for a show—I’d never heard that kind of noise come out of people before; it was like a jet engine. I wouldn’t say it was easy, but it was more comfortable than I thought it would be, because they just treated it like was a rehearsal, but with 20,000 people there. They’d give me a pat on the back and off we’d go, you know?
Is it true that AC/DC always plays “The Jack” at every show?
Pretty much every show that I did with them, if I remember right, yeah. It’s such a great song and you get the crowd involved with it, too. Back in the days they’d all pull out their lighters. It was a sight, and it was amazing. Great song.
Is there any official reason why the ’74 Jailbreak EP was released?
I’m not really sure. I wasn’t really a part of any decisions with regards to record releases. That was the record company and the original guys who were in the band.
Your first album with the band was 1985’s Fly on the Wall. With all due respect to singer Brian Johnson, his voice never sounded the same again since then. Can you comment on this?
I guess his voice did change a little bit. I think it’s still strong, but strong in a different kind of raspier way. I did notice that myself, but I don’t know what it is. It must be, just, this is what happens when you grow up and your voice matures, you know? That’s the only thing I can say, and I’m trying to be polite about this. But I still think his voice is strong, even today (laughs). He’s a good lad.
All that screaming and shouting that he did over the years has got to be murder on the vocal cords.
Justin, two and a half hours every single night, I mean, wow. You can’t knock the guy (laughs).
I thought he sounded great on the last record they put out, Black Ice. From what I read, he was doing a lot of vocal training with the producer, Brendan O’Brien, and he sounded great live.
Yeah. I saw him on that last tour, too. He sounded really strong.
I met him at his book signing in New York; he’s a great guy. I hope he does it for 100 more years.
Me, too. You’re right; he is a good guy. One of the good ones.
I’ll close the book here on Acca Dacca. Do you still keep in touch with any of the members at this point?
Not directly, no. They’ve got their thing to do and I kind of do mine. I did see them; I got coerced into going to see them on their Black Ice tour. Their first leg when they came through Los Angeles, they played at the Forum, and I went down and I was speaking with Mal[colm] and Angus [Young] and Cliff [Williams] and met Phil Rudd again; I’d only met him once before briefly, but that was cool. Chris Slade [Wright’s successor in AC/DC] was actually there, as well, so that was cool.
Would you be open to performing with them again for a special occasion if asked?
I don’t know about that. If they asked me, I probably would give it a go, yeah. That would be great; I’d give that a shot. I mean, If Phil couldn’t do it for some reason or if they asked me, I’d give it a shot.
What made you decide to leave AC/DC to join Dio?
I’d been in DC eight years, and I just needed to further my drumming a little bit. I’m not taking anything from AC/DC—they’re a brilliant and awesome rock and roll band, but drumming-wise it was a little bit straightforward, four on the floor, and I needed to kind of spread my drumming wings a little bit, just branch out a little bit. And luckily, I ended up being in Ronnie’s band, and he just was kind of like, go for it, try this, try that. He gave me a lot more free rein to experiment a little bit, which was what I really felt I needed, you know? I’d become a little complacent in [AC/DC], and there was absolutely no room for that.
As a member of Dio, you had two separate tenures in the band, both times replacing Vinny Appice. What was it like having that unique experience?
It was fantastic. The first time was a little more hectic because when I first joined Dio, the whole band was new. He had a brand new band—Rowan Robertson on guitar, Teddy Cook on bass and Jens Johansson on keyboards, and I think there was a little bit of pressure and a little bit of small worry. We sounded great, we were doing okay, but it was like a brand new band for him. The songs were still his songs, still his stuff for the new album and all, but that was the difference. When I rejoined again in ’98 after just leaving UFO—I was in UFO for three years before that, that kind of fell apart—rejoining Ronnie was like putting some old shoes on again that were really comfortable, that’s what that was like. And I went in and I knew the songs—a couple of new things I had to learn; they had created some new endings to songs and new beginnings and stuff like that, but it was just great to get back. I stayed in his band for 13 years after that. I was real happy being in Dio.
What made it such an enjoyable experience for you?
There was always kind of work to do. There was always thought behind what we were doing. There was always creativeness going on. Even when we were playing a set, at the end of the set at the end of the show, Ronnie would come in with ideas for different endings and stuff that we’d have to do the next night, so it was constantly changing and stuff, and there were new little pieces. It was very challenging, but at the same time it was very enjoyable, because you were kind of involved in the music constantly, you know, which I thought was really cool, I really enjoyed that part of it, you know? As well as all the camaraderie and stuff like that. All the people that have been involved with Dio were all cool people, so it was a great time.
A lot has been said about the theatricality of Dio’s stage performances and videos. Did you have any favorite moments among these?
Not one; I couldn’t pin down one. Ronnie was just a really great showman. We had a huge set when I first joined the band for Lock Up the Wolves. We had the bones and the 14-foot drum riser with a keyboard riser, too. That looked pretty awesome. But I think it’s just something about the way Ronnie would handle an audience that was really important—the effects were there, but he had a great way of communicating with the audience and bringing people into the show and making them feel like they’re part of it; he had a great way of doing that. That really always inspired me. He was a constant showman, you know? He was just great at it.
A lot of Dio’s lyrics were all about “we.” How did they help connect with the audience?
That was his specialty; that was his forefront. I’m sure other people will attest to this. If you ever met him, he brought you in. He had a way about him, and he was such a good listener, and he had this incredible memory. And I think all of these attributes that he had just brought out these amazing lyrics he would write, because he had feelings for other people. He thought about other people and their situations and stuff, and I think this was all a big combination that he would come up with songs like “The Last in Line” or “Invisible,” all these brilliant songs he’s done. He just has a way of bringing people in and making people feel a part of his songs, because his songs were so relatable—they could be about you or a group of people thinking about somebody else. It was just a great way of penmanship he had; just amazing. That’s not bad for a drummer, is it? (Laughs)
It’s been more than two years since he left us. If you could take us back to 2010, when was the last time you spoke with Ronnie?
(Pause) I was at the hospital. I don’t want to talk about that.
That’s fine.
Thanks.
What do you remember the most about him, summing it all up?
He was just an amazing man. I mean, he was a gentleman; he was a scholar and a poet. Everybody who’s met him is just so in awe of him. He was such a humble man as well—he really understood people’s feelings, and on top of that he was just a brilliant songwriter and an amazing voice. I can’t say enough about him, it’s just brilliant. I really miss him.
What can fans expect from the U.S. Dio Disciples tour?
We’re going to be playing songs off this Dio release, The Very Beast of Dio Vol. 2, so we’re looking forward to playing some of those songs, and we’re going to be playing the classic stuff as well—that’s going to be your “Heaven and Hell,” “We Rock,” “Rainbow in the Dark.” There’ll be some Sab stuff in there, too, and also some Rainbow songs. We try to fit as many of Ronnie’s songs in there as we can. There are no drum solos and there are no long guitar solos, because we feel that this whole project is about Ronnie, so we just stick to his songs. So it should be a good thing, you know? It’s a celebration to keep the songs alive.
By the way, are you still currently doing things with Rhino Bucket?
I do things on and off. If they get stuck for a drummer, I’ll go in there. We’re really good friends, we’re good mates, so we’re always in touch with one another, especially me and George [Dolivo], the singer, because he’s a crazy Manchester United fan like me…if something comes down and they need my help, or I’ve got something going on and need their help, then it works.
Any other messages to your fans and the other Dio disciples out there around the world?
Come check out Dio Disciples. So far the audiences seem to like what we’re doing, and it’s just total respect for Ronnie and it’s a total celebration of his music. We’re not trying to fool anybody here, so come and check it out.

About this Costume

The lettering on the back of the jacket is a few layers of fabric paint, painted with a VERY small paint brush
- Personal Thoughts:
- Another costume filled with firsts. First pleather jacket, first time making functional pockets with zippers and hidden inside the lining no less. It just feels so good!! The costume wasn't extremely hard but working around the zipper definitely proved to be the most challenging aspect.

Oh great, another lovely Monday morning and I can't even think of a comic. There are a few ideas going through my mind, but none of these seem to be the ticklish sort of fun I'm looking for. Maybe I need to drink beer or wine in the morning instead of coffee to get me going...

ChiRunning,.
ChiRunning is not only for your running form, but also helps you train your mind to be more quiet, focused and concentrated. By putting your attention on lifting your legs ChiRunning.
Meditation isn't easy but it's a great practice to train your mind. If you've ever tried to meditate you've noticed that your mind wanders all over the place. two minutes at a time. It could be leaning, picking up your feet, your foot-strike or anything. As you attempt to hold the focus, you'll notice how much your mind wanders. If you're focusing on leaning, gently return your mind and your body to the focus of leaning. The key word here is gently. This is part of the practice--don't beat yourself up and say, "I can't do this!" Simply return to the focus and try again.
Eventually your mind will focus and your body will naturally take on the new way of moving without your mind telling it what to do. After training your mind and your body in this way, you'll find you can learn anything more easily.
ChiRunning is good for your running and for your body. The more you practice focusing in this way, the greater chances you'll have of running longer, faster and both your body and spirit to run free.

The objective is to build your endurance so that on race day you can survive the 26.2 miles of the marathon.
Begin by increasing your long run by only one mile each week. Continue to build this way until your long run is up to 12 miles at a slow and even pace. This pace should be one-and-a-half to two minutes a mile slower than your 10K race pace. Finish feeling that even though you're tired, you could have gone further if you had to.
If the foundation of your program is to develop a long run, what should you do during the rest of the week? The best answer to this question is to run only as much as leaves you comfortable.
The main goal is to recover completely so that you are eager to begin the next long run. It is quite adequate to run only three or four days a week. None of your mid-week runs need exceed five miles.
During this first phase of marathon training, if your weekly mileage starts in the range of 10 to 20 miles, and stays in this range as you push the long run up to 12 miles, that will do fine.
If it grows to about 30 miles a week that will be good too, but it should not exceed this figure during the early growth period. Too much or too fast will lead to an injury.
If you have trained only for 10K's you may not have worried about keeping hydrated during your runs. When you're marathon training you must drink regularly, especially since fall marathons involve training through the heat and, in many areas, humidity of summer.
During your marathon there will be water at about three-mile intervals. Learn to drink at least as frequently during training.
It doesn't matter how you manage the logistics, but it must be built into your training plan. Use water fountains, cache water along the route, carry money and stop at soda machines or stores, or make a deal with someone on your route.
(A Maryland club uses the water cooler at a riding stable and donates a case of bathroom tissue to help support the facility.) As a last resort, carry water during your run. You can buy a waistbelt that carries plastic bottles or carry your supply by hand.
It is important to eat plenty of complex carbohydrates during marathon training. Your endurance is only as good as your glycogen supply.
During the adaptation to distance training your body learns to supplement glycogen by burning fats. In spite of this the body can't function on fats alone, and shortly before your glycogen is used up you'll become exhausted.
The only way to avoid this is to load your muscles with glycogen throughout your training. This means eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain cereals.
You can also reduce your rate of glycogen use by slowing your pace. You see, fats are a higher-calorie fuel than glycogen, nine calories per gram compared to four. This means it takes more oxygen to burn fats compared with carbohydrates.
The way to make sure you maximize your oxygen intake is to slow down. If you run too fast you don't have time to breathe enough oxygen to use a high proportion of fats, so your body has to draw on more glycogen to compensate.
For your first marathon train at a slow pace. This will pay handsome dividends in the last few miles of the long runs.
It is easier to train with other runners. For mutual support run with a club or a group of friends. Hold each other back to the target pace. Don't let the weekend run become competitive. For the first-time marathoner, speed kills!
Out and back training on the same route can become boring. Change the route from time to time. Another way to make things more interesting is to run point to point.
You can car pool back in a car parked before the start of the run. In some areas you can run to a pre-arranged spot and ride back in public transportation. Variety can spice up your training.

Nutrition and Health Book Cover Designs
Nutrition and health books are gaining popularity these days. Designing a cover for a book meant to inspire someone to live a healthier life is not an easy task. Below are some good examples of nutrition books with great covers.
Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All – American Meal
Let’s face it: fast food is convenient and tasty. The downside is it can be extremely unhealthy. This book has been meticulously researched, and shows how the fast food industry is transforming our diet, hastening our landscape, and fueling obesity. From the title, a reader can easily discern the intent of this book. Looking closely at the cover, readers see the United States drawn on the box of french fries. The cover is fitting for the title and is a great depiction of what the readers can expect from this book.
Good Calories, Bad Calories
“Good Calories, Bad Calories” is written by scientific journalist Gary Taubes. This book claims that we have been misled to believe that fat is bad for us, carbohydrates are better, and that the real cause for us gaining weight is taking in the wrong types of calories. The front cover depicts bread a carbohydrate and butter a fat. The title is cleverly placed; and instantly depicts “Good Calories” and “Bad Calories”. This minimalistic cover, keeps the focus on the subject matter of the book.
In “Why We Get Fat” Gary Taubes explains some of the reasons we get fat and what we can do to change it. This cover is minimalistic with contrasting colors to focus on the core thesis of the book. The font weight used on the title varies, and starts thin then gets bold on the word “Fat” for emphasis. The cover is simple and straight to the point and fitting for both the title and contents.
Clean: The Revolutionary Program To Restore the Body’s Natural Ability To Heal Itself
We live in a world where almost everything we consume contain toxic chemicals. “Clean” is a book that offers medically proven ways to help our bodies eliminate and neutralize toxins. The cover’s blue and white hues make the cover feel clean and sanitized. The glass of water serves duel purposes as it ads calm to the cover but is also one of the mediums for eliminating toxins from the body.

@ Baron, Good observation, Colin 1 person, the bike 3 people.
I agree with Peter that it was all a bit surreal. I rounded the corner a little while after hit had happened and saw a rider on the floor in the recovery position and assumed it was someone climbing the hill who had a heart attack. After stopping and turning around it took me a while to recognise Baron and Colin despite having ridden behind them all morning.
The injuries could have been so much worse, the response from everyone was great, warning oncoming cars, first aid, getting Colin back on his feet and home again. One of the benefits of riding in a group I suppose, you always have someone watching out for you.
Colin's an experienced rider (bikes and motorbikes), conditions were perfect, and things like this can still happen. With winter on it's way just try and stay safe out there.
I was just behind Colin as he went round a bend, not even 10 sec back. By the time I rounded it he was already lying under the guard-rail, bike a few meters up. It took a second or 2 to actually register what I was seeing - but not wanting to believe. Then I had to sort my own affairs out, brake sharply on the bend and get back to him without becoming a casualty myself.
Anyway, he was more badly winded than anything else when I got to him, a quick check to see there were no other injuries. From what we can work out, as Colin can't remember, is that somehow the back wheel slid, bit, then kicked him over and onto his back onto the road where he then hit the guard rail post, helmet 1st.
Having had time now to think about it, the injuries could have been so much more serious, Colin thank your helmet, mount it on a pedestal, whatever, it saved your bacon today!!!
Thanks to Pat for taking care of Colin & bike... and to the rest of us, no matter how well you think you know a road, it can allways bite.
You were like a spring chicken Clive.
Colin's been checked out and is all OK.
Further to the discussion with Maz re p*******s, he just phoned and had two on the way home. I'me NEVER discussing them again, EVER.
Sorry that I couldn't make it - ended up doing that track try out last last with AC and quick spin with Tailwind mob this morning, now I am truly spent !

2nd choice 16 votes B 3 votes A 2 votes C
Our illustrious leader can count! Bet he gets stuck after 21 :)
As there is a fairly clear pattern emerging I think that I may close the voting at midnight this Sunday 28 April. If you haven't already voted then please do so by then. I will post reminders over the coming week so that nobody feels left out or uncounted.
Next week I will chase up manufacturing options. Manufacturer and price will depend entirely on order numbers. I may have to make a leap of faith and hope that votes will turn into orders. I will post an order page and size chart next week.
Thank you all for your support to date. Thanks again to Michelle, Gus, Gary Mills and everyone involved in the previous logo graphics manipulation for getting us this far.
where do we sign up?

$A hits one-week low after jobs figures
- From: AAP
- January 17, 2013
THE Australian dollar has fallen to its lowest point in a week on news the national unemployment rate rose to 5.4 per cent in December.
At 1700 AEDT on Thursday, the local unit was trading at 105.10 US cents, down from 105.53 US cents on Wednesday afternoon.
The currency fell as low as 104.94 US cents, its lowest point in a week, during the afternoon session.
Commonwealth Bank currency strategist Joseph Capurso said the Australian dollar moved lower following the release of December employment figures, which showed the unemployment rate rose to 5.4 per cent in December, from 5.3 per cent the previous month.
"It dropped immediately following the data then rebounded, and then continued moving lower," Mr Capurso said.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics figures showed total employment fell 5,500 in December.
Mr Capurso said it had also been a weak session for risk assets like the Australian dollar across the globe.
He said the release of Chinese gross domestic product figures on Friday should provide a boost for the Australian dollar.
"I think it will be a better day and that should see us move back towards that 105.50 US cent level," Mr Capurso said.
At 1700 AEDT, the Australian dollar was at 93.23 Japanese yen, up from 93.03 yen on Wednesday, and at 79.12 euro cents, down from 79.41 euro cents.
Meanwhile, Australian bond futures prices have rallied in the wake of the jobs figures and falls on Asian stock markets.
"We started the day off quite strongly and we haven't really looked back from there," RBC capital markets fixed interest strategist Michael Turner said..

-.3 out of 5Â by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Elite Sport Not too bad, not too good For a shoe in the Adizero series, what you expect from it is being very light. You get that. But you also get shoes that are not durable, and don't fit so well. They are nice and tight from the heel until you get to the toe box. Adidas seems to think people have really fat toes, so they always make toe boxes really big. And on top of that, the leather in the toe box stretches quite a bit. But I like how tight the rest of the shoe os, and I like the asymmetrical lacing; it makes shooting feel more raw. The leather version only comes with a comfort insole, and it is nice and soft, without adding too much weight to the cleats. February 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Premier Sport Awesome cleats I bought these cleats for my high school season hoping they would last my career in high school. So far these cleats havn't let me down. i have used them in two state cup games with my travel team and they worked great, i had a better touch and strike on the ball. i would suggest buying half a size to small becouse the toe cap is on the biger size and made of leather so it will stretch to your foot. the only problem with mine is that they didnt come with the comfort insole and i didnt want to pay for shipping back to adidas.

State to Improve Safety on Alaska Highways
(JUNEAU, Alaska) – Governor Sean Parnell, Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) Commissioner Pat Kemp and Public Safety Commissioner Joe Masters today announced the State will take significant steps to improve Alaska’s highway safety corridors.
There are presently four designated safety corridors in Alaska: Seward Highway, Potter Marsh to Girdwood; Parks Highway, Wasilla to Houston; Sterling Highway, Sterling to Soldotna; and Knik-Goose Bay Road, Palmer-Wasilla Highway to Pt. MacKenzie. Statewide, serious crashes are down 53 percent within these safety corridors through education, enforcement, engineering and emergency services.
“Our mission is to reduce the accident and injury rates to zero,” Governor Parnell said. “This initiative is a step toward making Alaska’s highway system safer.”
The initiative establishes an Intelligent Transportation System which includes a centralized highway safety operations center, integrates real-time speed sensors, weather sensors, message boards and avalanche detection systems, adds call boxes, and improves cell coverage.
Drivers can expect to see safety improvements made along the Seward Highway this summer. Five additional slow-vehicle turnouts will be constructed at Mileposts 75, 76, 108, 111 and 115. Modification and guardrail work at Milepost 88, which is a high accident location two miles south of Girdwood, is also scheduled for this summer.
The Department of Public Safety will procure two 3-D laser measuring and mapping instruments to reduce highway closure times during accident investigations.
The State of Alaska will receive approximately $150 million in federal highway funds over three years specifically designated for safety improvements.
“Safety has been and will continue to be a primary objective for the Department of Transportation,” said Commissioner Kemp. “This is another intermediate step in safety as we incrementally build new projects to mitigate dangerous areas.”
An audio link providing more details on the initiative is available at:
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities oversees 255 airports, 11 ferries serving 35 communities, 5,619 miles of highway and 720 public facilities throughout the state of Alaska. The mission of the department is to Get Alaska Movingthrough service and infrastructure.

Communication is the gateway to a successful adoption experience. We want you to know your options within an adoption plan. Issues such as choosing the couple, meeting the couple, inviting them to the birth, and different degrees of openness are discussed with the guidance of our social worker and decided upon with input from the adoptive parents. When you and the adoptive parents have similar expectations of what your futures hold and how to implement the plan which you have created together, it is called a mutual fit. Such a connection can be the beginning of your healing process. Through expressing and addressing your needs with the support of our agency, you can now transition from uncertainty to peace as you are comforted by the idea that your child will be loved, nurtured, and safe.

Small Business1-50 employees
Mid-size business50-999 employees
Large Business1000+ employees
3250 Bloor Street West, 16th Floor East Tower, Toronto Ontario M8X 2X9
Payroll professionals faced with the headaches of administering third-party payments have the option of using an electronic program that simplifies the process and is now available in most Canadian jurisdictions. The program, called the Third Party Remittance Program, is a service created by ADP Canada, a provider of integrated business solutions including traditional and web-based services for payroll and human resources. The electronic program was initially introduced on a limited basis nearly 10 years ago in response to a growing realization of the burden of multiple third party remittances, said Janice MacLellan, ADP’s director of industry relations.
Third party payments
take a lot of effort and paperwork-
Each third-party remittance, such
as garnished child support payments,
RRSP deductions and insurance payments,
requires a significant amount
of effort and paperwork from payroll.
Certain remittances require multiple
forms to be filled out and once that is
done, a cheque must be requisitioned
from a company’s finance department,
creating a package of paperwork and
several carriers for every employee’s
paycheque that has this type of deduction.
The Third Party Remittance
Program streamlined this process,
enabling information on remittances
to be input electronically for each
employee. Once the information was
input for each employee, all remittances
were automatically deducted
and transferred to the appropriate
party each payday. Electronic records
of the transactions were readily available
for review and the paperwork
and time spent on them by payroll
could be significantly reduced.
First banks and insurance companies
then family support agencies -
When ADP Canada developed its
electronic business data transfer solution,
it approached other partners and
the Bank of Canada signed on for
Canada Savings Bond deductions.
Other early partners included the
Royal Bank of Canada, Standard Life,
and the Ontario Family Support
Office. When the latter signed on, the
program began to be used more for
garnishment-types of remittances in
addition to voluntary deductions.
MacLellan said other provincial
family support agencies began
more became technically able to
handle the electronic remittance
program. Recently, New Brunswick’s
Family Support Orders Service signed
on, meaning family support payments
can be made and reported on electronically
in most Canadian jurisdictions
except Yukon and Nunavut.
Advantages for all parties -
The system benefits employers,
employees and the beneficiaries of the
remittances, said MacLellan. Companies
and governments are becoming
more environmentally conscious and
electronic remittance of third party
payments falls into line with paperwork
reduction initiatives that many
governments are working on.
“Governments are implementing
online reporting and payment solutions,”
said MacLellan. “It’s a good fit
for government agencies and aligns
with their strategic plans to reduce
paperwork.”
In addition to reducing administration
work for payroll, electronic third
party remittance also enables a faster
timeline for payments. RRSP payments
are invested faster and interest
costs and late payment penalties for
garnishments can be reduced. But
perhaps most importantly, said
MacLellan, social support payments
can get to the recipients faster.
“There’s a positive social impact
for beneficiaries of family support
payments,” said MacLellan. “Kids
don’t get support payments until
agencies receive funds. With electronic
remittance, there’s a quicker
turnaround and the money is sent
more quickly.”
Another consideration is that benefits
and conveniences such as group
insurance are becoming more
popular for employers to offer, which
adds the potential for even more
deductions that will have to be made
from employee paycheques and more
payments to be sent to a variety of
recipients. Utilizing an electronic
process for the increasing number of
third-party remittances would save
payroll a lot of headaches, MacLellan
said.
“We’re hoping to support a trend
for employers to automate, reduce
tasks and improve efficiency,” said
MacLellan. “We want to reduce the
number of manual handoffs and take
advantage of the technology available.”

Testing & Data
Plastic Recycling Process. You can:
- 1st option :
Choose from our extensive range of existing profiles; or
- 2nd option :.
The process
The process of creating our wood plastic composite products from household, commercial and industrial post consumer waste is as follows:
We gather post industrial waste, post consumer polyolefin plastics and process them into pellets.
The pellets are converted to resin, which is then compounded with 100% recycled waste wood.
The compounded material is then continuously extruded through a die-cut profile into almost any required shape and form factor.
The material, now wood plastic composite, is cooled with water – which is continuously reused.
The finished product is automatically machine cut to length up to 6m and above by request.
The resulting product is strong, attractive, versatile, resistant to pests and corrosion and, of course, good for the environment.
The key points in our processes:
- Efficient
- Effective
- OHS compliant
- Fully recycled water
- Continuous extrusion
- Fully automated process
- Automated cutting

What Keeps CIOs Awake At Night
Cloud computing challenges, compliance headaches and retaining fickle young talent in a world of shrinking bonuses were some of the topics discussed at yesterday's MarketTech 2012. Sponsored by Tabb Group, a bevy of capital markets technologists from sell-side and buy-side firms shared their thoughts -- and fears -- about what needs to be done in the arena of financial IT. The following is a sample of the quotes that caught our attention.
1. Dust Off Those Cobol Skills
With the financial services industry spending 73% of IT funds on maintenance, why would an up and coming developer come to financial services? How can that compare to building the next iPhone?
— Steven J. Sadoff, executive vice president, global head of operations, services & technology, Knight Equity Markets, on the challenge of retaining young IT talent.

Green screen problem: "You spend more time lighting a screen that won't exist than lighting the people that do!" - Dariusz Wolski
About Me & AdvanceHDTV
how did i get here?
Well... The road has been long, with many, many projects and many, many people. And I would be remiss if I didn't say: very interesting! I've been able to meet such a wide range of people from heads of state to actors and musicians to people who 'make the news' - and that can vary from the criminal to the victim to heads of state and actors 'n' musicians 'n' blah blah blah!
To say 'I've done it all' feels right even though it is far from the truth. It would probably be easier for me to tell you about what I haven't done or been involved in than it would be to tell what I've done. Of course I'm speaking generally from a film and video perspective.
Yes, I've worked on feature films, commercials, music videos, corporate video, news, live TV, sports, Olympics, web video. I've worked on Broadway productions, my commercials air all over North America on a regular basis, got to meet some amazing people over the years. I worked in News, then Corporate video, then went on my own where I did all of the above and more.
I am a Producer, DOP, videographer/cinematographer, an editor, a sound mixer/recordist, musician and audio editor, a graphics artist (okay I do some stuff in PhotoShop and Illustrator... maybe not really an 'artist' as it were...), a writer, director. I'm a lighting designer, a compositor, a grip and a props manager, line producer, production manager and lest we forget, an accountant, janitor and chief bottle washer.
I am a Jack of All, but I've also had to be a Master of All. Okay, maybe Master is a strong word but suffice to say that I had to be very good at all of it. I had to do all of it so good that no one would be wiser. Am I rich? Ha! Far from it. I make a decent living, pay the bills and am still raising a family. I also still create video.
I love it and hate it at the same time. I'm jaded yet love the new directions and trends. I love new gear and how it works (or the promise of how it should work... more on that later). I love how some refer to their setup and equipment as the 'only' way, when in fact there are so many ways it'll make your head spin. Let's step back for a minute... I got into this game when there was one format/standard. It was easy, everyone knew what to do and how it worked. You had one standard to worry about. Even shooting and editing were straight up (in terms of the basics). Now though, we've got so many different formats and codecs and distribution methods from web video to DVD and Blu-Ray to good old fashioned broadcast TV.
This is one of the many reasons I started this blog. I want to be able to help others understand and achieve their goals in this murky, muddy universe. From what gear I like to use and how it gets used. Where you can find some 'secret' or maybe not so secret places on the web that'll help you deliver an outstanding product. So that's me in a nut-shell. Check out my gear page as well you'll find some cool (or at least useful) stuff there.
Onward!
Some fun facts about me and my career (ok I think they're fun!)
- Played guitar live on stage with Jerry Doucette doing his big hit Mama Let Him Play
- My duo played in a wrap party that was attended by Bradley Whitford and Neve Campbell, and they both really enjoyed us
- Interviewed a relatively unknown singer by the name of Celine Dion
- Interviewed Billy Ray Cyrus when he was at the top of his game
- Worked with Captain Kirk aka William Shatner
- Worked with Jason Bonham, the son of legendary drummer John Bonham
- Met Sid Bernstein, the man responsible for bringing the Beatles to the US in 1964
- Attended a taping of Friends where I drooled on Jennifer Aniston (well, not really on her, but about 5 feet away... at least she smiled at me!)

In the car with Gray.
I saw a bird! Mommy I saw a bird I saw a bird a bird! a bird!
You did? What do you think its name is?
BIRDS DON'T HAVE NAMES.
Then what do they call each other?
They don't talk. They are birds.
But what about all those tweet tweets we hear? Isn't that how they communicate? In their birdy language?
ELEPHANTS MOONICAKE. With their trunks.
But they don't have names either. They are elephants, Mom.
Twitter me- I'm babysteph
Safari Planet with Brian Fellows ;)
Too cute!
'Moonicake' just may be my new favourite word. Awesome, and sweet as can be!
heh! Super sweet!
Moonicake? That's so sweet I love it :)
Moonicake, lol!! So, so sweet! :) Have a great weekend, Steph!
hahaha! i love kidspeak. HI-LARIOUS!
What is Moonicake.
I must know.
I want to do it<3
--Sara Sophia
Moonicake- I love it :)
Love this!
You don't even post pictures and they are so cute - he has definitely coined a new word there!!! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!!
so funny! i love that age :)
There are some pronouciations that are too cute to correct.
Like our caweem cheese eating.
J is just now getting to the age where he says at least three priceless things a day. So far, today's standout was at lunch (I ordered delivery, yikes!) and he was requesting that I make him scrambled eggs instead:
"C'mon, mama! You be the guy who cooks and I'll be the guy who eats!"
I was slayed.
And I made the eggs ;)
It's hard to argue with that isn't it?
Moonicake. ROTFL Fab-o. Thanks for that!
I'm going to start telling my husband he has to MOONICAKE himself more clearly :)
I love kidspeak, LOL!
I'm going to start saying "moonicake" from now on. Too cute! I still use all those quirky little names that my kids made up for stuff. ;)
I love conversations with little ones! I wish I had a recording all the time, as I always seem to miss the good stuff!
Love this.
