Broncs Swept at Pirate Classic
College Softball
Towson University 4, Rider University 0
East Carolina University 8, Rider University 0 / 5 innings
Hampton Inn Pirate Classic
GREENVILLE, N.C.--The Rider University softball team opened the 2013 season with two losses on the first day of the Hampton Inn Pirate Classic, hosted by East Carolina University.
Rider (0-2) lost to Towson 4-0 and to the host Pirates 8-0 in the night cap.
"Overall it was a good day," said head coach Tricia Carroll, in her 19th season at Rider. "The composure was good in both games but making a few more plays on defense would have helped."
Against the Tigers, senior Alyssa Paul (Toms River/Toms River HS East), freshman Montana Berg (Danville, Calif./Monte Vista) and sophomore Amanda Irving (Westminster, Md./Westminster) each had hits.
Tied at 0-0 in the second inning, Delanie Dunham hit a solo home run to left field, putting the Tigers ahead 1-0. Durham had two RBI for Towson in the game.
Nursing the one-run lead, Towson put together a double, two singles, a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly, with a Rider error extending the inning as the Tigers plated three runs in the top of the fifth inning for the final score.
Red-shirt freshman Krista Morrone (Pipersville, Pa./Palisades) went the distance for the Broncs, recording four strikeouts and allowing no walks.
In the second game, Irving, freshman Dana Sensi (Allentown) and freshman Samantha Judd (Thousand Oaks, Calif./Westlake) each had two of Rider's nine hits but the Broncs were shut out for the second time.
"We had nine hits against ECU but didn't push across any runs," Carroll said. "That's disappointing. We had some good at-bats but couldn't score. Dana had a nice day, (Samantha) Judd had a couple of hits and we moved Amanda (Irving) to the two-spot in the lineup in the second game and she did well."
Berg started for Rider and lasted four innings, allowing eight hits and six earned runs.
East Carolina broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the second inning, scoring five times on six hits and a Rider error.
The Pirates extended the lead to six runs, scoring once in the bottom of the third on an RBI groundout.
East Carolina ended the game on the mercy rule with a two-run home run in the fifth inning for the final score.
Each team had nine hits in the contest.
Rider stays in Greenville to play Cleveland State and Ohio University on Sunday.
"Considering we haven't been outside much and the youth of the squad, we showed some potential. I'm excited to have the team playing."

Affordable Cable Services for Everyone
When you decide to get a new cable provider, Sky is the best choice in this area. They have everything that you need for TV, broadband phone, and services, and you can call their contact number at any time for getting relevant details.
Calling Sky
For getting more information about the offers that they have, you need to use the Sky customer services and ask some questions. They have plenty of offers that can comply with your needs, but you'll have to request the right information if you want to find out more.
Their customer service has specially trained agents who can offer you all the info that you need on any of their packages. You might want to inquire about TV, broadband or fiber connection or any other services, so use their contact number and learn about this.
They can offer you information about Sky corporate, for businesses or public TV, store locators or safety centers. You'll also be able to find out about their channels, including sports, news, arts, cinema, living or movies.
The Sky customer services will provide you with all the info you need on different packages that they have available. However, if you can't find something that you like or if you need more or less than what they give you, there's the possibility to customize the package and select the programs that you want.
For example, if you want to watch more movies, you could optimize the package so that you have the movies included. They have special offers all the time, and if you're a new client, you might get a significant discount for getting a particular package.
Sometimes, they make a discount for 12 months if you choose a particular package, and if your budget allows, you could get more programs or an unlimited fiber connection for internet for a whole year. Even so, to get all these details, you'll have to call their customer service and find out exactly what they can give you.
The Contract
You won't have to sign a contract until you have reached an agreement with them. Make sure you get all the details that you need for the package that you choose – the number of TV channels, phone services, or the limit of the broadband connection. No matter what you opt for, you need to make sure that it's contained in the contract.
Sometimes, they have an offer that gives you a free TV, a free laptop or any other device that you can use. If you have that package, make sure the free item is written in the agreement, because you could have the surprise of not getting it.
They have special packages for businesses and other corporations. If you have Sky services at your home residence, you could get a good deal for installing cable or internet connection at your business. You will have to contact their customer service and ask about this possibility, because if you are already their client, they might offer you a discount or a promotional price for a second package.
In the end, the best way to find out what they have to offer is to call the Sky customer services. It's also true that you'll have to pay increased attention to the contract and the time when they come for installing the equipment. When this happens, make sure that all the devices are working properly – set the TV and the computer to see if the internet is working. Don't let the technical team leave until they make sure that everything functions properly. You are paying for that equipment and the services, so if something is not accurate, you need to notify them and tell them to remediate the problem instantly.

Ever wondered why the colours on your prints don't match those you see on screen? The answer is, of course, that you are probably not colour managed. Annoying isn't it? Even more so if you've just spent hours getting that front cover image 'just right'.
The solution is to set up a colour correct workflow. In simple terms this means using colour profiles – small calibration adjustments that tell your devices (displays, printers, and so on) how to alter their output to a uniform colour environment.
The key step on the way is to start with your computer display(s).

I haven't played the mod (or thought much about KotOR2 over the last eight years!), but after reading your question (thanks for bringing it to my attention!), I watched the three YouTube playthrough videos made so far by JC (C842vids).
I love that people are passionate about some games, and interested enough in game development, to invest the time and energy to mod them, and this enhancement project is a great example. I thought the environment for M4-78 looked great, so particularly for that reason I'm excited that this project was undertaken – it's good to see that work be brought to light, while giving the modders a physical environment to work with so that they didn't have to make it from scratch.
Some history: M4-78 was my first assignment when I began working at Obsidian Entertainment in April, 2004, as a senior game designer reporting to lead designer (and company creative director) Chris Avellone. A brief outline of the area had been written by Dave Maldonado – that was a starting point, but Chris let me take it wherever I wanted and modify the previous plans as I saw fit. I don't recall exactly, but perhaps I worked on the area for about a month all told before we wisely decided to cut it. There was just too much work to do to complete the game and we had to focus. Given the options, M4-78 was an obvious cut to make – if I recall correctly, the contenders were M4-78 and Nar Shadda, and the latter was far more central to the plot. As has been noted by the community, I was able to repurpose some of the M4-78 content to allow G0T0's yacht to be implemented more quickly later in the project – it also might had to have been cut otherwise. (I remember Chris was talking with me about how, reluctantly, the yacht might need to go – all of the art was done, but very little of the design and we were close to the end of the project. I committed to him that I could design and implement it in within a week. He trusted me to do so and, while it wasn't our best area , it felt great to deliver it for Chris and the game.)
Back to the M4-78 Enhancement Project – it was definitely the right choice for the team to run with the design and craft their own experience. JC's videos don't yet cover the entire new planet, but I like the direction the team seems to have taken and (from what I've read in forums) how they've held true to Chris's vision for KotOR2, while seizing ownership of this section of the game. That's how you get the best gameplay experiences – when the people implementing the actual content are empowered to do what they feel is best, while guided by a clear vision. I'm excited that community members took on and completed this ambitious undertaking – I hope they are proud of their accomplishment (as they should be!).

My ownership experience of the Gregory Palisade from 2007 till now. I have used the pack on some long hiking trips in the Himalayas and have lived out of it for close to 3 years in Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh.
Black Diamond (Bibler) Tripod Bivy
Bombproof shelter. Comfortable as a Bivy, Uncomfortable as a Tent
I bought the Black Diamond Tripod Bivy specially to use on my winter trip to Ladakh. I wanted the bivy for 2 main reasons.First. I read online that a bivy sack can add some 7 to 10 degrees (C) of warmth inside the shelter. My sleeping bag was rated to only 0F (-18C) and i was worried that it might not be enough to keep me warm in the extreme cold of the Ladakhi winters. I could not afford to buy a new -30 C or -40C sleeping bag. So I bought the Tripod Bivy for 160$, hoping that its added warmth would help me.Second. My other tent was rated only for 3 seasons. I wanted a true 4 season shelter inorder to survive in the Ladakh winter. And once again, owing to my budget constrains, I could not buy a proper 4 season tent and settled on this bivy instead.I took the Tripod Bivy to Ladakh this win
I got to use my Hestra Heli gloves (purchased 4 years back) on my winter trip to Ladakh this year. I was in Ladakh from 14-Feb to 31-March 2015. Having used the gloves for some 6 weeks in extreme cold conditions, i believe that i can finally write a proper review for them. Design The Hestra Heli attempts to combine the warmth of a mitten with the dexterity of a regular glove. The outer has regular fingers for the thumb and the forefinger. While the remaining 3 fingers are joined together to make a mitten like glove. What is strange is that the inner liner has a regular 5 finger design. Ideally the inner and outer should have used the same 3 finger semi-mitten design. The whole idea of mittens is to keep the fingers together for extra warmth. By separating the fingers in the liner i beli
Timberland Washington Summit Leather Waterproof Hiking Boot
Could not stand up to the rigours of hiking in the Himalayas.
I purchased a pair of Timberland's Washington Summit Hiker boots from Amazon.com back in Oct-2011. I purchased the boots specifically for my then upcoming 6 month trip to the Himalayas starting Apr-2012. I was happy with the boots for the initial few weeks of the trip. The boots looked good, comfortable to wear, had adequate grip, waterproof and generally a pleasure to wear while hiking in the mountains. Just what you would expect from a top of the line hiking boot from a reputed company such as Timberland.The only complaint i had during the initial days was that the boots did not have any sort of toe protection. IMO all good hiking boots should have good toe protection as it can be very painful when you slam your foot on a rock or boulder while hiking. Apart from a couple of painful incid
As a backpacking adventure travel photography enthusiast, i've realized over the years that having the right equipment matters, especially in extreme conditions i frequently find myself in.Take my tripod setup for example. For the past few years, i've been using a Benro Travel Angel tripod and a Benro J0 ballhead. This light setup was perfect for me during the initial days. But the moment i stepped out of my 'normal' environment and went somewhere a bit extreme, like a night out on the Great wall in late November for instance, the equipment began showing its shortcomings. And these shortcomings were only amplified as time went on.I'll highlight some of the complaints with the Benro J0 ballhead here. The shortcomings listed here will apply to similar ballheads like the Markins Q3 as well. E
Back in 2009 i bought in to the hype surrounding the Zeiss lenses and purchased the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 ZE lens. This little lens easily exceeded my expectations with its image quality, color rendition and sharpness across the field that it quickly replaced the Canon 24-105 f4L as my primary travel and walk around lens.At first i was a bit circumspect about getting a fully manual focus lens, but over time i've actually grown to enjoy it more and i find that i get better focus and more keepers with my manual focus lenses than my auto focus (AF) lenses. Ofcourse, for moving subjects i still prefer to use the AF lenses but in all other scenarios (probably 90% of my photography subjects) the manual focus works just fine for me.The most impressive aspect of this lens is its sharpness across the fra
Anyone buying the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 Planar (ZE, ZF, C/Y) should be aware of its Focus Shift issue. It is a well documented issue with this lens (and several others like the Canon 50 f1.2 L, Zeiss 85mm f1.4 etc) which can render this lens pretty much unusable for closeup shots. Fortunately with the right technique and a little bit of practice this issue can be mitigated easily.Focus Shift Explained :So what is this focus shift issue exactly ? Basically it means that means that that lens's focus shifts as you stop down. Normally (with any lens) you will focus with the aperture wide open and then while pressing the shutter the camera will stop down the lens to its desired aperture value to take the shot. But sometimes (with some lenses) stopping down shifts the focus to a different point result
I've bought my Sierra Designs Lightning 2 ultralight Tent back in 2007. The lightweight tent accompanied me on quite a few adventures from trekking in the high himalayas to touring around Ladakh. It performed flawlessly in all kinds of weather.. cold, wet and windy.After a few years, i noticed that the seam sealing on the underside of the tent had started to peel off. And the tent started leaking in wet conditions. So it was imperative that i fix the tent before my next trip.After a bit of research, i ordered the McNett water based seam sealer from Amazon and asked one of my friends to carry it for me from the US (to India). Here are my impressions using the seam sealer to fix my tent. First i vigorously rubbed off the old peeling sealant coating on my tent using a wet rag and then let it
I have a tripod L-bracket always attached to my camera (as it allows me to use the tripod at a moments notice, easily attach the camera hand strap, and provides extra protection for the camera against bumps and nicks). Removing it inorder to connect a (Black Rapid type) sling strap was never an option for me and i assume most other L-bracket owners would also feel the same.On the flip side, i like carrying my camera in the sling position but the regular camera straps are not ideal for this purpose. So naturally i wanted some manufacturer to come with with an ideal solution which would allow me to use the sliding sling straps with an tripod L-bracket without having to remove the strap to use the tripod and viceversa.Unfortunately the solutions that the manufacturers came up with were all pr
Hoya 82mm HD Circular Polarizing Digital Filter
Image quality is irrelevant when the filter comes apart into 2 pieces.
I have to admit i was very impressed the first time i saw the You Tube video where a Hoya sales representative banged the Hoya HD filter against the corner of a desk and tried his best to scratch the glass on the filter without any success. They looked indestructible in that video. I was so impressed that i decided to buy the Hoya HD CPL for my 6 month trekking trip to the Himalayas. I ordered the filter from Maxsaver, an online store in Hongkong which sells original Hoya & B+W filters for cheap prices and has a very good reputation among photographers worldwide. The filter arrived promptly with 2-3 weeks of ordering and on first impressions i was quite impressed with the build quality of the filter.The polarizer functioned as it should, albeit adding a warm tinge to the pictures (the
Back in 2010 I reviewed the Kingston Elite Pro 32 GB 133x CF Memory Card. The 32GB CF card cost about 70$ at that time. It was a bit slow but roomy, reliable and perfect for my needs.Fast forward to 2013, and my needs have expanded a bit. I now try to short short videos during my travels and the Kingston Elite Pro is just not fast enough for 720p videos. I could shoot only 3 to 5 seconds of footage before the card starts buffering and abruptly ending the video. So i started looking for a new faster CF card and the Transcend CF400x Premium 32GB seems to perfectly fit my needs. The Transcend costs only about 45$ and is more than 3 times faster than my old Kingstons. It has a read speed of 88mb/s and write speed of about 62mb/sec, perfect for shooting Hi Def videos.I will order the card soon
Shanti Roof Top Cafe
Nice location, serving the usual tourist fare but with some pretty bad dishes..
I went to the Shanti Cafe because of its free Wi-Fi and its great location right above the busy promenade of Old Manali. The one good thing i like about the tourist restaurants in Old Manali this year (2012) is that most of them have started offering free Wi-Fi to attract customers, but the food still remains bad and the Shanti cafe is no different.The cafe has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Its great to sit by the railing and watch the colorful characters walking along the promenade of Old Manali. I ordered a lassi and started working on my computer, checking Facebook and updating Kettik. The owner is from Keylong, a Nepali originally but born and bought up here in India. He spoke good English and we chatted for a while.Everything was nice until i ordered my main course. I was in mood for som
Mayur Restaurant
Good Indian food, Nice quiet atmosphere and Reasonable prices makes it the best Indian dining experience in Manali
Located on Mission Road, just off the main Mall Road in Manali, this quiet little restaurant does not attract many tourists. But dont let that fool you into thinking that the food here is no good. Its great. In my 3 visits to Manali, i must have eaten at the Mayur restaurant some 5 or 6 times and the food has been great each time. The interiors of the restaurant are bright and clean. And very quiet since it was located in a side street of the main Mall road and attracted very little visitors.I especially liked the Chicken Saagwalla (Chicken cooked with green spinach) and their Biryanis. The prices were also reasonable, about 50% less than that of the Sher-E-Punjabji restaurant located on the Mall road (i found that the restaurants on the Mall road all charge exorbitant prices compared to r
At 75$, this was one of the best gear purchases that i ever made. I live in South India and i wanted a sleeping bag which i can use in a variety of conditions from hiking in the tropical jungles of South India to backpacking around China to summer/autumn camping in the high Himalayas. Over the course of the past 4 - 5 years (i purchased it mid 2007) this bag has proven itself to be perfect for my needs.Before i go into the detailed review of the sleeping bag, i just want to list out some of the different conditions that i've used this bag in. Although the bag is rated as -1C, i've used it at much lower and much warmer temperatures. Granted it was not always very comfortable when the temperatures dipped below 0C, but i lived to tell the tale. Slept out in the open on the Great Wall. -15C, n
When i visited Maan back in October 2010 there were no signboards advertising homestays or guesthouses. I asked around, and villagers pointed me to a local home (check the map above for the exact location of the house).The host is the wife of the headmaster of the government school in Maan. She spoke good hindi and was friendly and hospitable. They did not have a separate room for vistors and i ended up staying in their common 'glass' room and had my dinner in their kitchen with the family. Overall it was a typical homestay experience in ladakh, warm and friendly.Tourism is relatively new to the Maan village, the villages of Maan and Merak were opened to tourists only in 2010. Few of the enterprising locals are scrambling to cash in. My hosts were also building a couple of rooms to accomod
I visited the TsoKar lake back in October 2010 while cycling the Manali - Leh highway.The Tso Kar lake is located close to the main highway and one can always do a short detour to the lake before continuing on their way to Leh (or to Manali). It is well worth the effort.The approach:To reach the Thukje village one has to take a diversion at Debring (at the base of the climb to the TangLang La pass) and follow the asphalt road for about 15km to reach the village. There are a few dirt tracks available before Debring which lead towards the lake. We (me and 2 other cyclists) followed one of them, only to realize later that they do not lead to the Thukje village but to a campsite near the lake's wetlands.By the time we realized our mistake, we were too far in to turn back, and we could see the

Re: Subscripts, Doh!!!
David Bailey <db at salford-software.com> wrote:
> I have always found the way Mathematica handles subscripts rather neat.
Me too. Mostly. And it's much better under v4 than v3.
1. A delightful plethora of virtues
With Subscript notation, you can dazzle your friends
and win their confidence. How else can you:
z = Thread[Subscript[y, Range[12]]]
z /. Subscript[y, x_] -> s^x
and back again:
% /. s^x_. -> Subscript[y, x]
or go back a period in time:
z /. Subscript[y, t_] -> Subscript[y, t-1]
Delicious !
2. Almost as good as symbols
In v4, you can generally use subscripted "variables" as if they were symbols.
For example:
In[]:= expr = y_1 + y_2 ( Here y_1 denotes Subscript[y, 1] )
In[]:= Solve[expr==2, y_1] works fine.
In[]:= Plot3D[Sin[expr], {y_1, -3, 3}, {y_2, -3, 3}] works fine.
In[]:= Integrate[3 y_1, y_1] works fine, and so on.
In fact, the only function I can think of that does not handle
Subscripts properly is FindMinimum: this generally works fine, but
has some problems in complicated cases which are avoided by using
Symbols instead of Subscripts.
The most common problem occurs when people simultaneously
try to use:
x AND x_1, x_2 etc
They then set
and get very confused when they get terms such as
7_1, 7_2, 7_3
These sorts of problems are easily avoided by NOT
simultaneously using x WITH x_1, x_2... .
3. Symbolize ?
Symbolize looks like a pretty amazing piece of work:
trying to retrofit a new framework on an existing structure.
That being said, I must say that I don't like Symbolize.
I shall offer 3 reasons:
(i) << Utilities`Notation`
In[] Symbolize[m ] ; Symbolize[m ]; Symbolize[m ];
2 3 4
Check that this has worked:
In[] m // Head
Out[] Symbol
All is well. Now input:
In[] z = Table[ m , {i, 2, 4}]
In[] Map[Head, z]
Out[] {Subscript, Subscript, Subscript}
We now have two sets of "identical" notation in use.
In the one set, m_2 is a Symbol; in the other set, m_2 is a Subscript
(not a Symbol). They both look the same on screen. Tres confusing !
(ii) More generally, what you see is NOT what you get
The Symbolize package uses a palette based entry method.
The reason it uses a palette entry system is because underneath,
it is adding a much more complicated tag box structure. So while
it looks like:
in fact the full Input story is:
This makes reproducing results in textbooks very difficult, or cumbersome.
(iii) Ideally, one would be able to
Symbolize[ Subscript[x, _Integer] ]
and then be able to work with
Table[x_i, {i, 1, 4}]
where each of x_1, x_2, x_3 etc are treated as symbols.
But none of this works.
In an earlier message, Alan Hayes suggested:
to symbolise ALL subscript objects.
Of course, ALL iterators of subscripts then stop working:
In[]:= Table[x_i, {i, 4}] x_i denotes Subscript[x, i]
Out[] x_i, x_i, x_i, x_i

08/09 Ride Anthem boots
Looking at getting a new pair of boots for next season since ive been riding cheap lamar boots the last two seasons. Went to local shop and tried on some 32's, burton's, and rides and i liked the Anthems a lot. They were comfortable and nice and light, but the speed lace system worries me a bit. So I guess my question is anyone have these or heard anything about the speedlace being a negative, or any advice to a good pair of park/mountain boots. Anything would help thanks

The Last Showdown Before the Budget Dispute Goes to Tallahassee
The answer is "No."
The Alachua County Board of Commissioners voted this afternoon to deny Sheriff Sadie Darnell's Budget Amendment Request of $500,000.
Sheriff Darnell decided to appeal her budget to the Governor weeks ago. But both sides hoped they could work out a compromise on their own, until today.
Commissioner Mike Byerly said, "We've made our decision, we're moving on...Sheriff you have a right to sue us if you wish to, but the Board has made it's decision."
The motion made by Commissioner Susan Baird and seconded by Chair Lee Pinkoson, to apply a portion of the Sheriff's $700,000 in end of the year savings to the deficit, was not adopted. With Commissioners Rodney Long and Mike Byerly voting as before, to maintain the adopted budget. Commissioner Paula DeLaney, who had been undecided, joined them, while trying to shift the focus to the even bigger budget issues yet to come.
DeLaney said, "I would respectfully request that the Sheriff withdraw her appeal and work with us. I'm willing to pledge today to give you that money...I'm willing to raise the taxes, I'm willing to do whatever it takes."
Before the vote, the Sheriff tried again to convince Commissioners to approve her Budget Amendment Request. Darnell said, "I need a decision today, the public deserves a decision...if I'm to go to Tallahassee, then I am more than able to do that...I'm not so willing when I do see a compromise here that Commissioner Baird has offered."
7 residents also came forward...all in favor of the Sheriff getting the money. There was also much discussion about statistical comparisons between Alachua County's law enforcement staffing and funding and that of the other 66 sheriff's offices in the state.
Byerly said, "Even with the 500 thousand dollars in dispute, we are amply funding public safety. We are among the top counties in the state. Public safety is the top priority of the County Commission and the county...and our budget and all our actions reflect that."
But the Sheriff countered that statistics don't give the whole picture and said she will have to have the money within months because of an unfunded insurance mandate. Ultimately though, the appeal will run its course.
Darnell said, "If that's the vote of the body of this commission, then so be it. Let's move on."
The appeals process involves reconciliation attempts, and all the assertions brought up by the County and the Sheriff will be evaluated by the state. It's been a long, drawn out battle, that will stay with Alachua County, even as the process of tackling next year's budget begins.

Failed Arson Attempt in Waldo Investigated
The Waldo Police Department is investigating a failed arson attempt at one North Central Florida home- and it's a home that they're already familiar with.
Police found two men wanted for murder in the same house in Waldo less than two months ago. Officials don't think the two crimes are related. However they have found evidence of what could be a number of other crimes.
Police went to the house because it's supposed to be vacant, but when they arrived a door was open and they found it covered in gasoline with a half-burnt rag outside.
"If that house had went off, it'd wiped out the whole- all of us," said neighbor Charles Griffin. "It would've wiped out the whole block."
In addition to the gasoline covering the home, police say they found red spots inside that could be blood. They also found a red truck parked in the garage that officials say the bank has been looking for because the owner stopped making payments over two years ago.
Police will continue to investigate these developments, though officials don't necessarily believe that all the crimes are connected.

"The way you live should come before the decor," says Palm Beach, Florida, designer Mimi McMakin. Houston designer Carol Glasser concurs: "A table close enough for putting a drink down, something to put your feet on, light flooding in, and armloads of flowers brought in from the garden—these are keys to comfort in a Southern room." Furniture placement is important too.
"Living rooms should be arranged for conversation, with several different seating areas," says Phoebe. "Slipper chairs always work, and surprisingly, men like them too. They aren't for football watching but for conversation and moving about the room easily." Phoebe's favorite slipper chair is from Lee Industries (#1560-01). For deeper seating, Cindy likes Lee's #1077 chair with a dressmaker's skirt and English arms, pictured.

Pros: Easy to use, works well, good for the environment, reasonable price
Cons: None found
It is a little green machine that goes a long way. I have children and messes do occur. Our worst area is always in the car under the carseat where the spilled milk ends up at the end of the usual trip to all of our activities. I would spot clean it and end up going to have it shampooed at the local car wash. $25 later and two days later, it would still be wet ,not so fresh, and leaving the window open can only go on for so long. I owned a little green machine many years ago and it was horrible. It was the very reason that I kept on paying someone else to do it. I tried using my upright steam cleaners attachment and that went out. Needless to say, Kohl's had it on sale for $79 and I had earned 20 Kohl's dollars so I figured for $59 I would give this new version a try. It was easy, just as fast as the professionals, and actually better. It was clean, smelt great, and dried within hours. I didn't have to leave the windows open over night. Needless to say, the rest of my house is getting deep cleaned a little bit faster and saving me money. It is not designed for large carpet areas. I purchased it for use in my car, area rugs, upholstery, and spot cleaning. I was also surprised how green this little machine really is. There are parts that are 100% post consumer recycled plastic and no pvc. For me, that is a bonus. I do have problems with my hands and their strength so I wish that they would make it even easier by having a button that would start the spray instead of holding it. Other than that, I am pleased with the overall performance.

Understanding Dopamine's Role in Schizophrenia
Psychosis can be a singularly terrifying and bewildering experience. Doctors have known for decades that blocking dopamine receptors is an effective pharmaceutical means to remedy psychosis, but the question remains open—why? How is dopamine involved in schizophrenia?
One scientist beginning to find answers is the dynamic Dr. Vikaas Sohal, IMHRO Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at UCSF. For instance, his recent discoveries suggest that too much dopamine input to a specific type of neuron in the prefrontal cortex may overgenerate specific patterns of electrical activity and thus may contribute to schizophrenia's disorganized behavior.
Dr. Sohal is an ace at explaining the brain, and loves to do so. Watch his new Brain Waves interview, and then, you can log in and ask him questions of your own. He will respond to questions from Wednesday, August 28 through Friday, August 30, 2013.

Some fearful China billionaires steer clear of rich list
By Jane Lee
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Growing numbers of China's rich want to avoid publicizing their wealth, Forbes said, reflecting fears of official scrutiny amid a vast and growing rich-poor divide after several billionaires have ended up in jail.
Rural incomes have been rising more slowly than urban incomes for two decades -- a factor that could threaten social stability and the ruling Communist Party's grip on power in a country where 150 million people still live on just $0.50 a day.
More of the newly rich than in recent years asked to be left out of Forbes Asia's latest China rich list, said Russell Flannery, a senior editor at the magazine who oversaw the compilation of the list, which was released on Thursday.
"I think it's a reflection in a bit of a sea change in Chinese society right now," said Flannery. "...There's a lot of concern in China about the wealth gap."
Several once high-flying members of earlier rich lists have ended up in jail, including Huang Guangyu, the founder of Gome Electrical Appliance Holding Ltd, and Shanghai property tycoon Zhou Zhengyi.
CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets in a study released on Thursday estimated that China will account for 60 percent of the rise in high net-worth individuals' wealth in Asia over the next five years.
The latest rich list pitted stolid industrial muscle against high-tech, with the head of an earth-moving company pipping the co-founder of the nation's biggest Internet search engine for the top spot. Continued...

Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate your input.
The teacher has brought up DD's behavior before and has said DD is disruptive in class. She was even sent to the office twice in one week because she was talking so much and disrupting the class. I asked if the teacher thinks it's ADD or just immaturity, and the teacher doesn't know. DD's birthday is in May and she is one of the youngest in her class which I think is part of the problem. The teacher said somedays DD is right along with the class and "gets it" and other days she is way below everyone else behavior wise.
CGNYC, you articulated what I've said to DH about going forward with the testing even though I don't know what we're looking for. If DD does have something going on, I want to identify it now and work on it right away.
I got in trouble for talking all through elementary school, so it's hard for me to tell if there is a problem or not.
Thanks again everyone. This is hard, especially because DH and I aren't on the same page with what to do.

Nearly three quarters (72%) of local authorities in England are imposing a minimum council tax payment from next month, after government cut council funding to help needy households with their bills. Only pensioners who qualify for council tax benefit (CTB) are fully protected and will not pay any council tax under any of the local schemes – known as council tax support – that start on 1 April.
Yet research and analysis carried out by the New Policy Institute also shows that despite losing 10% of their funding, 18% of councils are absorbing the cut so all working age households that received CTB will be protected together with pensioners.
The remaining authorities are making other changes: scrapping rebates for second adults, for example, or reducing the savings residents may hold while qualifying for the benefit.
Though councils in Scotland and Wales will be fully funded by their governments under the new system, their English counterparts are left to fill the gap by imagination and innovation. So how did English authorities come up with their individual schemes, and how will households be affected in different parts of the country? We examine four cases.
North Norfolk
All households in North Norfolk that do not include pensioners will pay at least 8.5% of their council tax. The Conservative-controlled authority – which had considered imposing a minimum charge of 30% – plumped for the lower figure to attract £22,740 in transitional grant from the government to support the new system. It is one of 195 councils to receive such a grant in 2013-14.
Wyndham Northam, cabinet member for financial services, points out that the grant is only for one year, so doubts remain about the validity of the scheme in 2014-15. Some 10,478 households (about 10% of the district) qualified for CTB this year. Of these, just over half (5,925) include pensioners and are unaffected.
Of the remaining 4,553 working age people, 3,152 received full CTB and so will be worse off under the new system. The council wrote to affected households and is relying on newspaper articles for further publicity.
"The risk is that people who have never had to pay before will have to start," says Northam. "We have to consider that there will be a delay in revenue coming in."
North Norfolk has frozen council tax for the past two years. Even with the transitional grant, it must find £18,000 from its reserves after originally facing a £1.1m funding shortfall. It may also need to help people that cannot afford to pay the basic 8.5%. "We're aware that there will be people who are genuinely in trouble," Northam adds.
Sutton, south London
In Sutton, working age households that previously received CTB will be required to pay £3.55 per week – unless they include a child under five, a person registered disabled or a lone parent.
The London borough went for a flat rate rather than a percentage of each council tax bill because it thought the approach was simpler. The sum is the maximum the Department for Work and Pensions deducts from job seeker's allowance to pay off personal debts.
"We considered it better to impose a single figure that all will pay," says Richard Clifton, Sutton's lead member for revenue and benefits.
A total of 4,769 households that previously received CTB in Sutton will pay council tax for the first time or pay more than before. The authority has also reduced the sum that households may have in savings to qualify for council tax support, from £16,000 to £10,000.
Most households paying the minimum £3.55 per week are in council tax band C, where the annual bill in 2013-14 is £1,283. In effect, they will pay approximately 14% of the total charge.
"We have protected a number of vulnerable groups," says Clifton. "Some people might say it's more complicated but we've come up with something that's fair and reasonable."
The Liberal Democrat council faces a shortfall of £1.1m compared with the money it used to receive for council tax benefit. It expects to raise half of this by removing exemptions on empty properties and charging more when a home has been empty for more than two years.
When York told residents that all working age households would have to be pay at least 30% of their council tax, it did not go down very well. But the blunt message from council leader James Alexander is that, unless some people pay more council tax, services will be cut.
Labour-controlled York faced a shortfall of £1.3m compared to what it had previously received for CTB. It ruled out a 8.5% minimum contribution, as the £200,000 it would attract in transitional grant was unlikely to make much difference for one year.
"We've had to bite the bullet," says Alexander; without the 30% minimum payment, the authority faced making cuts equivalent to closing two swimming pools and two libraries. Instead the authority has doubled its social fund – set up to support people with welfare problems – to £400,000. And a second adult rebate that was available to people on low incomes who live with somebody not qualifying council tax support was scrapped.
More than half the 12,500 households in York claiming CTB include pensioners and will continue to pay no council tax. "The burden falls on working age households," adds Alexander.
Tower Hamlets
In spite of facing a shortfall of £2.6m compared with the money it spent this year on CTB, Tower Hamlets is not reducing protection for people that qualify for help with council tax.
"Given the difficulty many vulnerable people are already having, we were concerned that they wouldn't be able to find money to pass to us," explains executive mayor Lufter Rahman.
The east London borough is saving £123m over three years to balance its overall budget of £1.2bn. Cuts include no longer leasing a prime-site office block, saving £8m per year. It is also raising some local fees. Keeping its old CTB scheme will make collection simpler, Rahman claims.
Looking ahead, Rahman says the borough will look for further savings, or make cuts elsewhere, rather than charge poorer households council tax. "My administration's policy has always been to tighten our belts and protect residents," he says.

Here's my Arizona Rising Sun Quilt so far. I haven't sewn the rings together, so they may look a bit crooked but it gives you an idea of what they'll look like. The largest ring is too big to fit on my design wall so its doubled up. GBF said this looks like a big toothy monster is about to eat the circles.
The class with Michelle Yeo was great. She was very friendly and relaxed, letting people work on whatever part they wanted to at their own pace but always being there to help with instructions and handy tips. Her method of foundation piecing was different from what I've done before. She uses freezer paper that is perforated with the template pattern and then you sew and fold using the paper as a guide. Prepping the freezer paper patterns takes a while but the trade off is not ripping off paper foundations, the freezer paper just peels off like a dream.
I wonder who discovered freezer paper's magic patchworking powers. I can just imagine someone whose mind was on their sewing while they slaving away in the kitchen.
Hopefully they'll bring it all together nicely.
I've decided to change the diamonds in the middle row. I was going to do stripes just because it would be a challenge to fussy cut them but the white looks too washed out.
I'm auditioning the black and teal fabrics... at the moment the black is winning.
I was very restrained with my shopping at the Quiltsmith, mostly because I was so busy sewing that the time flew so I didn't have a lot of time to look. I did manage to pick a few feedsack prints for a dresden plate quilt I'm planning using a vintage table cloth. Another quilt for another day...

An international collectibles company called Bradford Exchange has begun marketing this holster and revolver display to Australians who are fans of Ned Kelly, who is the Australian equivalent of Jesse James.
Of course when I saw their first ad I took umbrage:
Attachment 63706
and contacted them, telling them that (1) the revolver has been copied from a "flopped" image, so the loading gate is on the wrong side, (2) which is how the holster came to be left handed (Ned was right handed), (3) Ned's time was pre-cartridge guns so even Australia's own museum displays a Colt cap-and-ball for him), and (4) the holster is John Wayne's signature piece that he used in all his western films (best known-maker being Andy Anderson).
They responded "interesting" and said their researchers usually do better.
Then I discovered that, because they already make a John Wayne commemorative that is identical, Bradford didn't do any research at all for poor old Ned's rig:
Attachment 63707
I know, not your usual cup of tea on this Forum, but who else was even going to pretend to care?!

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers will be watching the Super Bowl from home for the second consecutive year, but the Packers' MVP quarterback once again proved that star NFL players can be known for more than just their on-field success. Rodgers is very involved with the MACC (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer) Fund, frequently participating in many aspects of the foundation. Just like in mid-November when a video was released of Rodgers surprising 10-year-old cancer survivor Maggie, he once again stopped by the home of a child who had gone through a similar challenge early in life. This time, Rodgers visited Dijon, a boy who was cured of sickle cell anemia through a bone marrow transplant from his younger brother. In the video, Rodgers and Dijon tossed a football around in the backyard and played a series of college football video games -- which Dijon seemed to get the upper hand in.

I'm going to have to agree with you. My wonderful hair is so seasonal it's ridiculous. Winter my hair is hybernating, doesn't grow more than 1/4" if that, no shedding or breakage unless I caused it by fussing with new products. Spring I can get about 1 inch a month. Summer shead city no matter what I do (so far) to stop it. Fall 1/4-1/2" growth, minor shedding. I can set a clock to my hair's seasonal cycle right now.I'm here
I feel like my hair is shedding way too much. Is it true that sometimes different seasons can make your hair shed more? I feel like before the summer officially starts I shed a bunch and then grow a bunch.
Or maybe I just need a new comb or something...I don't even know.

Amtrak To Study Possible New Stop In Culbertson
Written by The Wolf Point Herald
Senators Jon Tester and Max Baucus announced Tuesday that Amtrak will study the possibility of adding an Amtrak stop in Culbertson.
Tester and Baucus requested the study to give oil workers another transportation option to get to the booming Bakken region.
Ongoing energy development in the Bakken formation is leading to extraordinary economic growth in northeastern Montana that is providing thousands of high-paying jobs. Those jobs are drawing workers from around Montana — particularly from northwestern Montana — but many workers face difficulties getting from one side of the state to the other.
Pursuing new ways to help workers get to the Bakken continues Baucus' "Call to Action in the Bakken" that aims to increase critical infrastructure necessary to support the region's growth.
"With the flood of new workers, the demand to construct new infrastructure and to improve existing infrastructure is constantly increasing," Tester and Baucus wrote. "The Empire Builder plays a critical role in fulfilling the growing transportation infrastructure needs of the Bakken region, and as the region continues to grow, it is important to look for smart ways to increase the Empire Builder's capabilities."
Culbertson Mayor Gordon Oelkers said he appreciates the senators' attention to the Bakken.
"Thanks to the oil boom around us, Culbertson is the ideal spot for a new Amtrak stop," Oelkers said. "We are right in the middle of major eastern Montana transportation routes and we have the existing facility to make adding the stop a viable option for Amtrak. I appreciate Jon and Max for constantly looking for ways to help eastern Montana."
Tester and Baucus previously teamed up to urge Amtrak to increase passenger capacity on the Empire Builder to help the energy-impacted communities take full advantage of the Bakken's oil and gas boom.

I've also never seen this problem. Of course if the VLAN's aren't
configured right, that'll happen no matter what switch you're using.
:) I'd say misconfiguration is far more likely than a problem in the
switch itself causing that, at least from what I've seen.

Nobu Restaurant in the Spectacular Atlantis Resort on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah
Superb Interior DesignPeter Aldag - Jan.17.2011 · 2 Kommentare
Nobu Dubai was an evolution of many of the concepts Rockwell Group developed for the flagship Nobu Fifty Seven in New York, such as the emphasis on craftsmanship, natural materials and storytelling. The textures and materials in this particular location were chosen to reflect the finely crafted cuisine and Nobu's roots in the Japanese countryside, while also celebrating the Dubai beachfront context. To anchor the restaurant in its location, Rockwell Group surrounded the restaurant walls and ceilings with large hand-woven curvilinear abaca panels to evoke an environment submerged under an ocean wave, and added accents of traditional Middle Eastern vernacular architecture such as hand-wrought iron columns of flowers, leaves and buds.
The reason for the attention is the fun design by the Manhattan-based nemaworkshop, a team of designers and architects that has created numerous cool retail and hospitality concepts.

We reuse plastic bags when cleaning out the cat's litter box. Ziploc bags and bread bags are fine for disposing of cat litter.
Reuse plastic baggies
photo by Angie Torres
Frugalitarians take a lot of flak about washing baggies. But they're so easy to wash and reuse it's a shame to throw them away. They're perfect to use for organizing and to keep things dry. You can put often-used recipes inside a baggie. The recipe card stays clean for the next time you need it. This is especially helpful if you bake with kids. The first tip shares a couple of other ways to reuse plastic baggies. Do you wash them? Tell me ways you reuse them.
REUSE BAGGIES: I keep small knit or crochet projects in them, in my car, so I always have a project to work on if I get stranded for an unexpected time (doctor's-office wait, etc.). Larger ones (1- to 2-gallon size) make perfect camping pillows. Pack deflated, then, when you arrive at your campsite, use a straw to inflate, and you have a great pillow that takes up virtually no room. — Denise, Illinois
MAKE YOUR OWN SNACKS: I recently came up with the idea to add my own flavoring to cottage cheese rather than buy the small pots of premixed stuff. So far I've only tried adding mixed-berry jelly and found it to be as good, if not better, than the store-bought version. I've also discovered cottage cheese to be good with leftover canned pineapple and peaches. For dessert, I now buy my own packages of cookies and sweets and divide them up as close as I can to 100- to 150-calorie bags. I've found this to be far more economical than paying $3 to $4 for a week's worth of desserts. — Cindy May, e-mail
NO CATS ALLOWED: I have a solution for keeping cats out of the sandboxes. Buy one of those small, lightweight, hard-plastic swimming pools to fill with sand and then buy one the next size larger to use as a lid. Get some tent stakes to anchor the lid from the wind. This is usually cheaper than buying a sandbox with a lid. — Judy, Iowa
HOMEMADE YOGURT: I make my own yogurt at home. I have a handy tip for those of you who do the same. If I need it during the middle of the week, I'll make it right after suppertime. The best part is keeping it warm to do its thing. I have a microwave with a light on it over my stove. I usually keep it on as a nightlight while we're at home and awake. There is enough heat in it to help the yogurt along. I put the yogurt mixture into small containers, about the size of a medium-sized cottage-cheese container (8 ounces or 12 ounces). I then put the lids on and set them over the area where the light is and close the door. I put a note on the microwave not to turn off the light. Then I go to bed. I wake up to fully coagulated yogurt and plop it in the fridge. I probably do this once a month, so I don't think I'm killing the light bill too much. I figure if the light's on, it might as well do double duty. You can't beat fresh yogurt! I also use this method to raise bread and pastry dough while I'm cleaning during the day. — Michelle W., South Carolina
Note from Sara: There's a recipe and a few discussions on making homemade yogurt on my frugal forums http://www.frugalvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=118277

Robbie Fowler will have talks with Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston on Saturday over the possibility of a sensational return to English football with the npower Championship club.
On Thursday it emerged the 36-year-old former England and Liverpool striker was in training with Ian Holloway's side with a view to a permanent deal. Speaking after the Seasiders' 1-1 draw with with Hull, Holloway confirmed discussions with Fowler were due to take place.
"My chairman has got to talk to the boy himself tomorrow," he said. "I don't put pressure on my chairman. I don't understand what Robbie wants, it's none of my business. I've only spoken to him about football. I think he knows he could do it, I think he knows he would enjoy it and I think he knows I know he could do it."
He added: "So it's all about him really. I don't know what he's been paid in the past and I don't know what he's thinking about now, but I just hope with all my heart that he's the same as the rest of my lads and wants to come here and work for me.
"He might just want to be part of something that might be special in his life right now, because we might have a chance of going up again and I think it would be an even bigger miracle than when we did it before."
Having seen Fowler at close quarters this week, Holloway is in little doubt that the striker can still be an asset at Championship level.
"I still think he's got loads of mileage in him," he said. "Wouldn't that be nice if I took off Kevin Phillips and popped on Robbie Fowler? Am I at Blackpool or not? He's the first trialist I've ever asked for his autograph!
"The whole place has got a lift. It wouldn't work if he didn't have that appetite to keep going and keep playing and keep doing it. He could easily retire if he wanted to. I love his enthusiasm."
On the field, Blackpool dominated for the majority of Friday night's contest but only had Tom Ince's fine first-half strike to show for their endeavours before succumbing to Hull's spirited late rally.
Matty Fryatt reacted quickest to steer home James Chester's knockdown in the 90th minute to leave fourth-placed Blackpool without a home win in their last three attempts.

The Best Breakfast Foods for Weight Loss
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., January 6, 2016 - 10:50am
Brierley asks: What do you eat for breakfast to keep your weight in check?
I decided to eat two eggs every morning starting in January (while counting calories the entire day) to lose a few vanity pounds (My goal was only to lose 5 lbs. but ended up losing nearly 10 by March 15th). I love two scrambled eggs with a little bit of cheddar cheese and sometimes I'll crumble a slice of turkey bacon on top. However, I have been concerned with the cholesterol in eggs and am very careful, now that I've lost the weight I wanted to lose, to change it up and not eat eggs every single morning. However, don't forget to remind your readers that a healthy breakfast does not make up for bad eating or slothfulness the rest of the day!

Thanks Brierley. I have seen people having unhealthy and very heavy breakfast. But instead they should opt for some fresh vegetables, shakes and fruits. This will surely help to give a good start to the day and remain healthy.

I eat a mix of homemade granola (not too sweet) with another high-fiber, low-sugar cereal such as Grape Nuts or Uncle Sam's. Really filling and tasty. When I need a change of pace, I'll have oatmeal (made with half skim milk/half water), topped with toasted pecans, diced pears, a few raisins, and cinnamon.

NATHAN Westmoreland was drunk and fell asleep in a bingo club.
When he woke up, he found himself locked in for the night.
Cleaners let him out when they turned up for work in the morning.
But it was found that he had eaten food and damaged a sweet dispenser trying to get into it.
A burglary charge was dropped at Mold Crown Court when he admitted stealing the food and damaging the dispenser.
Judge Niclas Parry jailed him for three months. His previous convictions were the main aggravating feature.
Prosecutor Richard Edwards told how Westmoreland, 35, formerly of Chester Road East in Shotton, was found inside The Apollo Bingo Club in Rhyl.
The burglary was dropped because it was accepted he went in for a lawful purpose but then remained there and stole alcohol from the fridge and had eaten some tomatoes and cucumbers.
A sweet dispenser had been broken when he tried to get into it and his finger prints had been found on it.
Simon Rogers, defending, said: "He was drunk.
"He went in lawfully, fell asleep and then took advantage of the opportunity."
Westmoreland appeared at court via a live television link from Altcourse Prison in Liverpool.
