Tonight, Discovery Health will air the documentary I'm Pregnant And... I Have An Eating Disorder. In a preview from GMA, Beth Jones struggles to eat enough for her unborn child, even when doctors tell her the baby is too small.
Beth, who has battled anorexia, bulimia, and excessive exercising for 25 years, is not one of those women. In a therapy group for pregnant women with eating disorders, Beth explains what's going through her head: "This baby's going to come and you're going to be big and fat. Who are you going to be if you're big and fat? That's just not acceptable, sorry."
Luckily, Beth's baby is born at a healthy weight and she plans to continue treatment. However, her husband Mike worries about the effect her eating disorder may have on their three children. He breaks down as he says, "Kids pick up on everything. its something we are extremely aware of and I will be extremely sad, especially if my daughter... if they would ever have to go through that."

Things sure have changed since the days when wrestlers' theme songs were short, catchy hooks looped over and over long enough for a ring entrance. The latest WWE theme compilation Wreckless Intent could actually be mistaken for any number of radio sampling CDs with a line-up featuring some legitimate heavy-hitters.
To start off, though, I really wish I knew what the intent of the title Wreckless Intent is. After aggressively-charged titles in the past such as Forceable Entry and, well, Aggression, is this a kinder, gentler WWE product? I mean, once you get past the fact that "Wreckless" is not a word that you'll see anywhere in existence beyond this CD, it's actually saying that the "intent" is not to wreck anything. That's downright peaceful. If this is a hippie album, where's Dude Love?
Anyway -- the music. The highlights include the opening track of Batista's theme I Walk Alone, ramped up by Saliva. Saliva's involvement with the WWE is very extensive, providing themes for, among others, Chris Jericho and the Dudley Boyz, and having performed live at both Wrestlemania X8 and Survivor Series 2002. Other songs like Fury of the Storm by Shadows Fall for Rob Van Dam and Burn in My Light by Mercy Drive for Randy Orton push familiar rock buttons, but that doesn't take away from the song. Rather, that's the point. An entrance theme is like a film's score -� you're not supposed to be listening to the song, it's supposed to be supplementing the wrestler's entrance.
Still, it bears repeating that this CD stands on its own legs more steadily than previous WWE theme song compilations. The inclusion of P.O.D.'s Booyaka 619 for Rey Mysterio Jr., following their live performance of the theme before Mysterio's Heavyweight Title win at Wrestlemania 22, Motorhead's King of Kings for Triple H, also introduced at Wrestlemania 22, and Some Bodies Gonna Get It by Three 6 Mafia for Mark Henry add star power and take this CD beyond simply a fan's collection item. Let's be realistic: it's possible that the association with Three 6 Mafia may be as close to an Academy Award as Vince McMahon can ever get (they won for Best Original Song from the Hustle & Flow soundtrack).
A pleasant surprise was Torrie Wilson's new theme A Girl Like That, performed by Eleventh Hour. It's a straightforward song riding a fine line between rock and pop, and it manages to stand out from the rest of the album in a good way. As for another "diva's" song, you have to feel a little sorry for Maria, who receives With Legs Like That by Zebrahead for her theme. What's what? You don't think Maria is as famous for her gams as was, say, Stacy Kiebler? You're right, which is why it's odd that this song, written for Kiebler, has been dumped onto Maria. I suppose the WWE wasn't able to secure rights to Maria from West Side Story, or How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria from The Sound of Music for that matter.
So, where does this CD rank on a scale from, say, Piledriver to The Beatles' White Album? Closer to Piledriver, sure, but I'm going to go on a limb and suggest it's a keeper.

Drafted Gators will need to break mold of MLB Draft
Florida made history in this year's MLB Draft, but history once again stands in the way of departing Gators at the next level. There's no question this was the most successful draft for UF's baseball program in nearly a century of existence. Junior catcher Mike Zunino became the highest-drafted Gator ever while an unprecedented eight Florida players were selected in the first nine rounds of the draft.

Creator of Non-Invasive Patient Monitoring Devices: Masimo Corporation Founder and CEO Joe Kiani Named Ernst & Young National Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2012 Life Sciences Award Winner
Kiani honored for revolutionizing today's health care technologies with the invention and commercialization of non-invasive patient monitoring devices
Nov 18, 2012, 02:00 ET
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Joe Kiani, founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Massimo Corporation, has been named the Ernst & Young National Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2012 Life Sciences Award Winner. The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award is the country's most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs. The award encourages entrepreneurial activity and recognizes leaders and visionaries who demonstrate innovation, financial success and personal commitment as they create and build world-class businesses.
Kiani was recognized for revolutionizing the health care industry by taking risks to create and commercialize non-invasive patient monitoring devices, which include a wide array of sensors that lead to improved accuracy, a reduction in the overall number of false readings, and ultimately, reduced cost of care. Kiani was honored at the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards gala, the culminating event of the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum® in Palm Springs, Calif. The Forum is the nation's premier gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies. Awards were given in nine additional categories. The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges from 244 regional award recipients.
"We are pleased to honor Joe Kiani with this esteemed award and recognize him for his perseverance, passion, and innovative mind – all of which continue to make a positive impact on health care and patient monitoring technologies," said Bryan Pearce, Americas Director, Entrepreneur Of The Year, Ernst & Young LLP. "Joe's innovative approach, discipline and triumph over the years truly demonstrate the meaning of the entrepreneurial spirit we've come to celebrate over the last 26 years."
The early rise and collapse
By training, Kiani is an electrical engineer, graduating from highschool at the mere age of 15. Kiani's entrepreneurial spirit sprouted early on at his first job, a smaller company with pulse oximeter technology, where he worked in exchange for stock – not cash. Kiani's aptitude and contributions led to his swift rise to the top as president of the company at an early age. But as hasty as the rise, Kiani quickly learned an important aspect of ethics and integrity. In an effort to ensure the company would not be sold under false pretenses, Kiani was blamed for the collapse of the company's pending merger. It was this decision and outcome that ultimately led to Masimo Corporation
Passion & discipline: never settle for less
With Kiani's developed passion for adaptive signal monitoring, he took the money he had saved and a $40,000 bank loan and began to developing non-invasive patient monitoring technology from his garage. Within three short years of maintaining a strong financial discipline, Kiani had raised substantial capital and was well on his way to creating medical technology that has transformed the health care industry today – technology that would not exist today if it was not for Masimo Corporation.
Despite hospital administrators and clinicians embracing Masimo's superior technology, Kiani still faced barriers. Larger, more established companies and group purchasing organizations (GPOs) were reluctant to let Masimo Corporation succeed in the market. Kiani stuck by his belief of always doing what is right for patient care and emerged victorious after a seven-year patent infringement legal battle – a battle that threatened to bankrupt Masimo.
Giving back and thriving
As Masimo emerged as a success story in the medical industry, many advised Kiani to buy out his existing shareholders. But instead, he distributed much of his profit in a special dividend and offered a substantial appreciation bonus to employees. Soon after, Kiani knew Masimo could achieve bigger and better things, and in order to do so, he took the company public. In its first five years as a public company, Masimo Corporation revenues increased by more than 70 percent, and net income increased by more than 175 percent. Throughout it all, Kiani never stopped taking risks to grow what is now a multi-million dollar public company with more than 2,500 employees.
National Entrepreneur Of The Year 2012 Life Sciences finalists
In addition to Kiani, the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Life Sciences national finalists were: Dr. Rajesh Shrotriya, Chairman of the Board, CEO and President, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., based in Henderson, Nev., an oncology-focused biotechnology company with fully integrated commercial and drug development operations; Cynthia LaConte, CEO, Dohmen, based in Milwaukee, Wis., a leading family of companies that create efficiencies within the health care supply system; Michael and Staci Gauthier, President and Vice President, Gauthier Biomedical, Inc., based in Grafton, Wis., a proud manufacturer of high-quality instruments for spine, trauma, hip, shoulder, knee, ankle and small bone surgical applications.
National Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2012 Overall Award winner
Hamdi Ulukaya, Founder of Chobani, was named the Ernst & Young National Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2012 Overall Award winner.

Much like a physician monitors a patient's heartbeat and blood pressure for diagnostic purposes, National Park Service officials need accurate information about the resources in their care. Specifically, they need to know how and why natural systems change over time, and what amount of change is normal, in order to make sound management decisions.
In 1998, Congress authorized and funded an initiative to build a stronger scientific foundation for the management and protection of natural resources in national park units across the country. Under the Natural Resource Inventory & Monitoring Program, Coronado National Memorial and 10 other parks in the Sonoran Desert and Apache Highlands are served by the Sonoran Desert Network, whose scientists have designed and implemented an integrated program to provide park managers with the scientific information they need for sound decision making.
The first phase of the program was to verify which natural resources were in the parks via scientific inventories of plants and animals, as well as physical resources, such as air and water quality, climate, geology, and soils.
The second phase of the program is long-term "vital signs" monitoring. Vital signs are a set of key natural resources and ecosystem processes selected to represent the overall health or condition of park resources. Vital signs data can provide early warning of ecosystem changes, allowing park managers to develop effective mitigation measures and reduce management costs.At Fort Bowie National Historic Site and 10 other southwestern parks, the Sonoran Desert Network (SODN) conducts long-term inventory, monitoring, analysis, and reporting on key park resources to assess the condition of park ecosystems and develop a stronger scientific basis for stewardship and management of natural resources. At Fort Bowie, the network monitors air quality, climate, exotic plants, groundwater, landbirds, seeps, springs, and tinajas, terrestrial vegetation and soils, and washes.

5 comments: to " Blowing The Dust Off "
Hey Brad,
I was already noticing a lesser frequent update pattern, and I'll actually delete this blog from my bookmarks favourites now, since your updates will be even less frequent as you announced. I must admit that Twitter sounds tempting, but I don't know yet if I want another "thing" in my life that needs maintance and constant checking and "work" or energy. For people like you, with a rather extensive social network it must be a great thing, for me, not so much. My world is smaller. I guess I'll just e-mail you once and a while, though, this is becoming a rather one-sided affair between us;-) (kidding) But yeah, I can follow you, you have no clue bout me, so I get that, no worries. Anyway, thanks for posting and being out there, it was fun. I'll still listen to the podcasts, so it's no farewell indeed.
Hey Jay!
If you haven't tried it, I'd definitely suggest downloading a Twitter client (I like Tweetbot, myself) and giving it a try... It might be a lot more fun than you expect.
In any case, thanks for being such a regular reader and commenter, and yeah, this isn't farewell by any means!
Nothing, not Twitter for sure, is as atmospheric as a Blogger blog, especially one with the relaxing discreet aesthetics you picked for yours.
I'll stay here, and welcome any possible posts of yours coming.
I never like Gamecritics reviews by the way.

Happy holiday season to you! Hope yours is shaping up well. I normally don't plug our wares in the blog too much BUT in case you feel like passing the Succotash for the holidays, now would be a good time to hop up to our Succotashery and get friends, loved ones, or just yourself some nifty Succotash t-shirts, mugs, and other assorted stuff.
Commercial mode off.
This epi brings us a special guest, Chris Bonno, in a special two-part interview but in a single show. See, I started the interview live, face-to-face, when Chris was up in San Francisco as the feature act for Hal Sparks, who I also interviewed. (Catch THAT chat back in Epi41!) But we only got about 8 minutes in when things got busy and we never got a chance to finish. Until a few days ago, when I caught up with Chris in LA via Skype and we picked up right where we left off.
Chris is a comedian, an improvisor, a musician, an artist and a podcaster. A VIDEO podcaster, no less, and we will talk about his Electric Bonnoland show during the course of the interview. He's also a guy I've known for about a decade and a half, one of those "comic's comics" who everyone in the comedy scene in LA and Austin, where he got started, knows well but the public is still waiting for him to become an "overnight success".
How Did This Get Made?
Inverse Delirium
Larcher And Lorensen
Oddcast Podcast
Burst O' Durst
In addition to the basket o' clips we have this epi, there are a few other treats…
Friend-of-Succotash and past guest John Anealio provides us with a new holiday tune: Batman Smells (A Rebuttal) off of his new seasonal EP Seasons Geekings — and he's making the download of that 4-song EP FREE if you hop over to his website, http://JohnAnealio.com!
We've also got a holiday greeting from the Bonn And Obo (Bonnandobo) Show, a show that we have yet to play an actual clip from but we will as soon as they say they're ready.
I've been enjoying a video series on YouTube by Joe Plummer's Gotta Kid To Feed Productions, Real Actors Read Yelp Reviews. It's not a podcast but it's such a clever and funny idea I wanted to share it with you Succotashians. In installment #11, actor Darren Goldstein (Damages, Limitless) reads a 5-star Yelp review for a place called Schnitzel Queen. Click over to watch the performance, it's even tastier.
That's pretty much everything we've got in store for you in Epi43. Have a good time, don't let the holidays make you too nuts, and please remember to pass the Succotash!

Tristan Jarry, Derrick Pouliot, Olli Maatta and Scott Harrington Among 37 Players Invited to Penguins 2013 Prospect Development Campby Staff Writer / Pittsburgh Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins released a roster of 37 prospects who will be attending the team's annual prospect development camp July 16-20 at CONSOL Energy Center, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.
Pittsburgh's development camp roster includes 21 forwards, 12 defensemen and four goaltenders. The roster features 23 players who were drafted by the Penguins – including all six of the team's 2013 draft picks.
Previously-announced attendees Tristan Jarry, Derrick Pouliot, Olli Maatta, Scott Harrington, Brian Dumoulin, Oskar Sundqvist and Eric Hartzell will be joined by defensive-minded blueliner Harrison Ruopp and 2013 third-round draft pick (77th overall) Jake Guentzel.
Fans are invited to attend the camp-concluding scrimmage – which is free and open to the public – on Saturday, July 20 at 3 p.m. at CONSOL Energy Center. Doors will open at 2 p.m. at the American Eagle and Trib Total Media Gates.
Complimentary parking will be available in all CONSOL Energy Center surface lots. Several concession stands, as well as PensGear – the Penguins' official team store – and the Dick's Sporting Goods box office will be open.
Jarry, 18, was Pittsburgh's top selection at the 2013 NHL Draft, going in the second round (44th overall) following an impressive season with the Edmonton Oil Kings. Jarry led the Western Hockey League (WHL) in goals-against average (1.61) and save percentage (.936) while finishing with an 18-7 record and posting six shutouts in 27 games.
Pouliot, 19, was drafted by the Penguins in the first round (8th overall) of the 2012 NHL Draft. He was a key player for the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League (WHL) in their postseason championship run, leading all defenseman with 20 points (4G-16A) over 21 playoff games. He averaged better than a point per game during the regular season with 45 points (9G-36A) in 44 contests.
Maatta, 18, who was drafted by Pittsburgh in the first round (22nd overall) of the 2012 NHL Draft, led all London Knights defensemen in goals (8), assists (30) and points (38) during the '12-13 regular season. The Finnish product helped the Knights win the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) postseason title and earn a berth into the Memorial Cup tournament, where he posted two assists in five games.
Harrington, 20, was chosen by the Penguins in the second round (54th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound stay-at-home blueliner served as London's team captain in '12-13, posting a plus-21 rating in 50 regular-season games. Harrington made his professional debut with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins during the 2013 AHL playoffs, scoring a goal on his first professional shot in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against Syracuse.
Dumoulin, 21, played in his first season with WBS in 2012-13, tallying 24 points (6G-18A) in 73 regular-season games. Originally drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round (51st overall) of the 2009 NHL Draft, Dumoulin's 18 assists led all Penguins' defensemen. His eight points (2G-6A) led all WBS blueliners during the team's postseason run to the Eastern Conference finals.
Sundqvist, the Penguins 2012 third-round draft pick (81st overall), was the leading scorer for Skelleftea's junior team in the Swedish League during the regular-season, collecting 26 points (13G-13A) in 26 games. He also saw 14 games of regular-season action – scoring one goal – for Skelleftea's top-division team that won the Swedish Elite League title.
Ruopp, who was acquired by the Penguins in 2012 via the trade of Zbynek Michalek to Phoenix, is known for his physical play. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Ruopp, who was selected by the Coyotes in the third round (84th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft, racked up 16 points (1G-15A) and 132 penalty minutes in 2012-13 with the Prince Albert Raiders of the Western Hockey League (WHL).
Guentzel starred in his first season with the Sioux City Muskateers of the United States Hockey League (USHL) in '12-13. He was USHL Rookie of the Year, earned a spot on the USHL All-Rookie Team and was a USHL Second-Team All-Star after totaling 73 points (29G-44A) over 60 games. Guentzel will be attending Team USA's junior evaluation camp in August in hopes of making the 2014 U.S. World Junior Championship squad.
The group of rookies and prospects will be in Pittsburgh taking part in on-ice practice and scrimmage sessions, undergoing medical and fitness testing and attending meetings and seminars.

In 2009, more than 30 million tons of food was dumped into landfills, making food the most abundant material there by far. This amounts to roughly 200 pounds a year for every single individual in the United States. Throwing away food means we're losing money, but more importantly we're also creating unnecessary waste and greatly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. To curb this nationwide problem, the Grocery Manufacturers Association and the Food Marketing Institute are launching a mega-campaign that aims to increase donations to food banks and composting practices in order to decrease the amount of food sent to landfills.
A large portion of the food that winds up in landfills is thrown away when it is still completely edible, but has minor blemishes or stores are overstocked. This waste could be avoided easily by donating this food to food banks, but changing consumers' habits at home will be the real challenge. According to one study, Americans throw away roughly 14 percent of the food they purchase, which translates to about $600 a year for a family of four.
The environmental consequences are just as bad. Rotting food in landfills produces significant quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas that has a warming potential 20 times greater than carbon dioxide. On top of that, the amount of food that gets thrown away accounts for 25 percent of the fresh water that's used in the U.S., meaning we're wasting a lot of H2), too.
The first step in the war against food waste will be for the Grocery Manufacturers Association and the Food Marketing Institute to conduct a massive survey of the sources of food waste, from the processors and manufacturers to the distributors to the consumers. "This is not a problem that will be solved in three years," said Meghan Stasz, a sustainability consultant for GMA, to the New York Times.
After the survey, the committee will identify public policies that could help reduce food waste and increase food donations. Then, the group will identify new technologies and practices that would support goals like increased composting and locating food processors, distributors, and restaurants closer to one another.
While the problem of large scale food waste will be an on-going battle, there are things that you can do in your own home to combat the issue. First and foremost, only buy and prepare the amount of food that you and your family will eat. If you have a surplus of canned goods or produce, donate it to a local food bank. As for your food scraps, you can give them to local farmers to feed their animals or you can begin a home composting system.

English for specific purposes.
I need inspiration. I need some new ideas for group reading/speaking activities.
I am training police recruits in ESL in French Canada. I have access to "Media Reports" (See examples below) from a police department in English Canada.
There is a lot of policing vocabulary I want them to learn.
And the same time I want them to read more.
I want to do more group oral activities.
I guess I can create yet another dictation, fill-in-the-blank or a jigsaw activity. But that gets old fast. Anyone have any inspiring ideas?
File 13-*****
At 3:34 pm, an unmarked police car was headed east on ***** Ave in ***** when it was struck from behind by another east bound vehicle. The second vehicle failed to stop and was followed by the police car until it stopped in the downtown area. This resulted in a 35 year old male being charged with failing to stop at an accident, two breaches of court orders, operating unregistered vehicle, operating uninsured vehicle and operate motor vehicle with no license. The male was held for court and his vehicle impounded. There were no injuries to the two police officers involved and minor damage to the police car.

Saffron Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
* We only attended the Saturday party and were surprised to find out that the most famous Estonian composer - probably the only Estonian composer most of you have ever heard of (who also happens to be a classmate of K's mum) - made a surprise appearance at the party on Sunday. If we had only known that before, I would have turned up on Sunday as well :)
Anybody wants to guess who was eating my cakes? The hint I'm giving you is that K's mum turned 72.
Saffron Carrot Cake
(Safrani-porgandikook toorjuustuglasuuriga)
100 g butter, at room temperature
250 ml (a cup) of caster sugar
0.5 g saffron threads
3 large eggs
250 g carrots, finely grated
grated zest of half an orange
300 ml plain/all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
Cream cheese frosting:
200 g cream cheese
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
sugar, to taste
1 tsp cinnamon
Make the cake batter. Mix butter, sugar and saffron threads (powder them between your fingertips) in a bowl and cream until pale and light. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add grated carrots and orange zest.
Mix flour with baking powder and fold into the batter.
Pour the batter in a 24 cm cake tin (butter the tin first and sprinkle with fine breadcrumbs or line with a parchment paper).
Bake in the middle of a 175 C oven for about 40 minutes, until the cake is cooked (test for doneness with a toothpick). Cool in a tin.
To make the cream cheese frosting, mix the cheese with vanilla and a bit of sugar, spread on the cake.
Sprinkle with cinnamon.

I knew the Arvo Part name (and have two CDs, music I call 'winter music' that my family calls, Do we have to listen to that again?) but thought he was quite young! Given K's Mum, he is!

Lovely cake! Love the combo of flavours and textures - saffron and carrots topped with cheese frosting. Yummy!

Ah, Pille, you missed the expression of beatitude on Arvo Pärt's face when eating your cake :-)...as you miss it on the face of your readers, when they follow (at home, in different countries) your culinary suggestions and adventure in the fantastic world of tastes... But, believe me, this happens every time we try from your recipes!!!

I'll have to chime in with Arvo Part, too. And that cake -- lovely!

I've long been a lover of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting Pille but saffron in the cake! Wow that sounds wonderful!

Hi Pille,
In the last few months, you may remember receiving an email invitation to become a part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Program. With all the recipe-writing and food photography to be completed, we know emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, so Foodbuzz would like to re-extend our offer of inviting you to be a part of our food blogger network. We are very impressed with the quality of your posts, and I would love to send you more details about the program, so if you are interested, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
And I've never used saffron in a dessert before. Maybe your recipe will be the first I try! =)

I love carrot cake, but I've never come across it with saffron in it before. Hmmm, methinks I'll have to give it a try - thanks for the recipe!

But can you really taste the saffron?
Sounds wonderful!

Peabody – I'm still learning to like saffron, but since I've got loads at home, I can afford to experiment :)
Pene – that's a bit unfair – you're local :) But yes, she and Arvo Pärt were classmates.
Lobstersquad – I've passed your greetings on to her, thank you!
Patricia – the colour was pretty eye-catching indeed!
Marika – oli, oli :)
Alanna – did you know that Arvo Pärt was Estonian? I'm ashamed, actually, as I've only got one of his CDs. I did attend several of his concerts in Edinburgh, however, he was well known there. (A typical dialogue: me: 'I'm Pille from Estonia'. He/She: 'Oh, isn't that where Arvo Paaart is from?')
Suzana – thank you!
Elizabeth – you're too kind. Seems that Arvo Pärt actually ate my chocolate cake and not my carrot cake on that day. I must blog about that chocolate cake now, I guess :)
Lydia – well, you're absolutely right :)
Tanna – just remember not to overdo with saffron!
Shannon – yeasted saffron bread is quite common here (probably a Swedish influence), but I hadn't used it in other desserts until now either..
Aforkfulofspaghetti – well, saffron makes the colour much nicer, so do try it!
Spinning Girl – Sulle ka!
DaviMack – yes, you can. A bit too much, actually, as I wasn't sure how much is half a gram. I'll go easier on saffron next time…

- DaviMack said...
I suppose it also depends upon what kind of saffron used - whether you used Spanish or Egyptian, for example, might make a big difference. I've never chosen to afford the really expensive Spanish stuff, but the Egyptian stuff is fairly mild ... so maybe you used the "real" saffron?

The Toyota Prius was introduced in the 2001 model year. It went on to sell a large number of vehicles quickly and became a standard for other fuel economic vehicles introduced later to the market. Toyota was one of the first manufacturers to introduce a gas and electric hybrid vehicle to the marketplace.
The Toyota Prius has a drive train that mixes together a combustion engine with an electric-powered motor. Lower emissions and spectacular fuel economy has brought the Prius into its third generation, and is still in production today.
The Toyota Prius is known first for its fuel economy. Current models get 51/48 mpg city/highway. Old models get great fuel economy as well, even with engine depreciation. Those in the market for a hybrid vehicle who can't afford a 2012 model, used Toyota Prius vehicles are reasonably priced and reliable.
The inside of the Toyota Prius is also impressive. Most models have a strong entertainment and accessories package. The inside of the vehicle also has a lot of extra cargo space and room for the family.
Don't expect any major differences switching from a regular car to a Prius. While earlier versions had a slight learning curve, the new models are a simple and fun drive.
The 2012 Prius is available in four different trim lines: the Prius Two, Three, Four, and Five.
All models have a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine with a 98 horsepower output from the gas engine, and a 73 kW output from the electric motor. It runs 153 lb-ft of torque. The car is equipped with power-assisted ventilated front brakes that regenerate the battery at each stop.
Differences begin to appear in the trim lines on the exterior of the vehicle. Projector beam headlamps are included on all vehicles, but the auto on/off feature only appears on the Prius Four. The Prius Five has headlamp cleaners also. LED tail and stop lights keeps power consumption to a minimum.
All of the car's trim lines have 15-inch, five-spoke wheels except for the Prius Five, which has 17-inch wheels. A power tile or slide moon roof is available as a package option on the Prius Three and Four.
The Prius interior is fully stacked. Automatic climate control with a filter is included on all the models. A 6.1-inch touchscreen controls the entertainment system. Each trim model has an added feature. Etune is available, connecting you to Bing and Pandora for a wide music selection. The top models have JBL speakers for better audio quality. Premium HDD Navigation is available as a package option on the Prius Four and Five.
The display on the inside of the Prius is very intricate, showing fuel consumption, average fuel economy, distance to empty, average speed, energy monitor, and ECO Savings Record.
The Prius One starts at a reasonable $24,000 and rises to $29,805 for the Prius Five.
The Prius was first introduced in the United States in 2001, four years after its release in Japan. This was only the second hybrid vehicle model to enter the U.S. market. The first generation model was large, somewhat uncomfortable, and still had a few bugs, but it was extremely popular. It had a 1.5-liter engine producing 70 horsepower.
The second generation, introduced in 2004 and running until 2009, added a lot of new improvements. The car size shrunk but had more cargo area and more comfortable seating. The 1.5-liter engine was smaller in size but produced 76 horsepower with 82 lb-ft of torque. Net horsepower was 110, a great output for such a small and light vehicle.
The second generation model did lag behind when it came to the interior styling and console. There are large differences between the second generation and third generation interiors. The third generation updated the dashboard introduced some new innovations like a telescoping steering wheel. The second generation wheel did not adjust or telescope, preventing taller drivers from having a comfortable ride. Also, the third generation touchscreen performs well but is sometimes washed out in sunny conditions.
If you are looking for a superior hybrid, you can't go wrong with one of the most trusted companies in the business. It is a good idea to skip the first generation models when buying used to avoid some of the design flaws. Drive both the second generation and third if you have an opportunity to find out which vehicle you prefer. A used second generation vehicle is often a good deal.
2018 Toyota Prius
Hatchback, Hybrid, Midsize
2017 Toyota Prius
2016 Toyota Prius
2015 Toyota Prius
2014 Toyota Prius
2013 Toyota Prius
2012 Toyota Prius
Two new Prius vehicles join the hybrid fleet since the Toyota Prius first debuted back in 1997 and current, third generation design went on sale in 2009 as a 2010 model.
2011 Toyota Prius
Aside from a safety recall involving reprogramming the ABS, the 2011 Toyota Prius remains the same as it was last year. The Prius gained 24 horsepower over the last generation, better fuel economy (51 mpg city), quieter ride, improved handling, new looks, cooler eco gauges, nicer interior, and more space inside -- more cargo space, more legroom, more shoulder room, and more headroom.
2010 Toyota Prius
2009 Toyota Prius
2008 Toyota Prius
The 2008 Toyota Prius is fuel-efficient and affordable.
2007 Toyota Prius
The 2007 Toyota Prius is best known as one of the earliest mass-produced hybrid vehicles, and it enjoys popularity amongst consumers concerned with fuel economy.
2006 Toyota Prius
The first hybrid automobile that came on the market was not the Toyota Prius.
2005 Toyota Prius
The 2005 Toyota Prius basically serves as a full-size family sedan with a different type of power system and drivetrain.
2004 Toyota Prius
If the newly redesigned 2004 Toyota Prius could be summed up in one word, it would be ""more.
2003 Toyota Prius
Hatchback, Hybrid, Midsize, Sedan
The 2003 Toyota Prius is a full electric/gasoline hybrid in production from 1997 to the present.
2002 Toyota Prius
Compact, Hatchback, Hybrid, Midsize, Sedan
The 2002 Toyota Prius has made headlines for its unique and environmentally-friendly hybrid technology that combines gasoline and electric power to propel the engine.
2001 Toyota Prius
Compared to other cars, the 2001 Toyota Prius seems like a bit of a mixed bag.

After being pretty on it with updating my blog I've fell into a bit of a dry spell over the last few months. Since my last update in March time I've been to a PWA event, my first ever international photo shoot, driven round France, Spain and Portugal for a month and am now sat back in Vassiliki!
|The tow in event for me consisted of two massive wipeouts!! JC/PWA
The first PWA event in Austria was a frustrating one for me this year, we only had enough to wind to run a single elimination in very tricky conditions leaving me in 17th place to start the year off.
Straight from Austria I travelled to Egypt for the Fanatic/ North 2013 photo shoot. It was an amazing experience and is best summarised in this article I did for Boards about my time there. http://boards.mpora.com/features/high-rollers-and-new-shapes.html
Now the reason I haven't updated about my recent trip around Europe is because I'm saving the story + pics for the printed press so didn't want to risk giving too much away. Within the next couple of weeks I'll try to get the video online! Also most of the pics I've got I'm using the 2013 board which wont be released until July 15th!
|Burner in Sagres, Portugal
Ok so back to the present and I've been out in Vassiliki now for the last two weeks working again for Club Vass. It's been great to come back out here for what will be my sixth summer. The wind has been awesome as well and it's been great to catch up with all my mates. Jay Haysey from Globalshots fame is back out here again this summer and he took this shot of me doing a Burner the other day.
|Jay Haysey- Globalshots.co.uk
Hopefully getting back in the swing of updating and keep an eye out for more regular updates to follow as I'm off to the PWA event in Fuerteventura in the next few weeks.

Recently i was poking around the Samba site, and i found that they have the full Oreilly book there for anyone to print/download. i figured ehh, why not, so what i have done is compiled all of the chapters and most of the appendexes into one main e-book, and then the Command Appendix i made into its own Command Guide, and same with the Config.
I hope this helps anyone who wants to have a more secure samba. Also - I left the pdf's open so that you can print/do whatever. if anyone wants the .doc versions please let me know.
[edit] the main book is too big -- i will be moving it to an off-site place where people can download it, i have attached the quick reference guides (Commmand and Config) in its place [/edit]

It's possible that it was flagged because the Manager will place and delete files on your HD regarding the maps... I assure you the program is harmless.
i downloaded it... had to turn off norton to do it though...
don't work
Quote from: DARKLEGION on December 26, 2011, 12:46:14 pmdon't worklol? It works fine so what specifically doesn't work..
I downloaded it and it worked but only let me download 3 maps that came with it plz respond and tell me what i'm doing wrong so i can import other maps in their so i can play them
I Have norton, made it a trusted file, so other people will have less problems downloading it. But I do have an issue, it wants to update to version 1.0, but it crashes when trying to do so, it closes when not trying to do so. How do I fix this?EDIT: fixed some typos

Test Driven Learning: setting learning goals for yourself, Software Engineering edition
Stacey asked me for a refresher on Test Driven Learning for Hacker School, prescription so here we go.
Test Driven Learning is a software engineer's articulation of Wiggin & McTighe's Understanding by Design framework after being strongly influenced by Ruth Streveler's "Curriculum, ascariasis Assessment, sickness and Pedagogy" course at Purdue.
Many software engineers are familiar with the process of Test Driven Development (TDD).
- Decide on the goal.
- Write the test ("how will you know if it's working, exactly?")
- Make the code pass the test.
- Celebrate.
Test Driven Learning (TDL) simply says "it's the same thing… for your brainnnnn!"
- Decide on the goal ("learning objective").
- Design the assessment ("how will you know if you've learned it, exactly?")
- Go through the experiences/etc. you need to pass your assessment.
- Celebrate.
That's it. Really.
Step 2 is the part most people flub. With software tests, you have a compiler/interpreter forcing you to be precise. With learning assessments, you don't — but you need exactly the same level of precision and external execution. If you asked a group of external people (with appropriate expertise) whether you'd passed the assessment you set for yourself, there should be no disagreement. If there's disagreement, your assessment needs a redesign.
A good assessment is a goal that helps you stretch and reach it; sometimes it encourages you to do more. But sometimes it also gives you permission to stop doing stuff – you've written the code, you've delivered the talk, they met the criteria you set — and now you're done. You can absolutely set a new goal up and keep on learning. However, you're no longer allowed to say you Haven't Learned X, because you've just proven that you have.
Here are some rough-draft quality TDL assessments you might start with, and a bit of how you might improve them.
I will learn Python. (What does that even mean? How will you know you've learned it?) I will complete and pass any 50 CodingBat exercises in Python. (But I could do that by solving 50 really easy problems.) Only 10 of those 50 problems can be warm-ups, and at least 20 of them must be Medium difficulty or greater. (Does it matter if you get help with the problems?) Nope, I can get as much help as I want from anyone, as long as I could explain the final solution to another programmer.
I will get better at testing. (What do you mean by "testing"?) I write a lot of code, but I've never written tests for any of it. I hear the nose framework is nice. (What do you mean by "better"?) Well, I've never written a test at all, so even going from 0 to 1 would be an improvement. I could use nose to write tests for 3 different pieces of working code I've already written. (Do these need to be big or exhaustive tests?) Nope, I'm just trying to learn what writing tests is like, not get full test coverage on my code… at least not yet. Even if I write a 3-line test that checks out one minor function, it counts as one of the 3 tests. (What does it mean for a test to be "done"?) When someone else can check out and successfully run my code and my test suite on their computer without needing to modify either bit of code, it's done.
I will understand how databases work. (By "understand," do you mean the mathematical theory behind their design? Or how to actually implement and use one?) Oh geez, the latter. I don't care about the math so long as I know how to interface with a database. Any sort of database. (So you need to make a demo.) Yeah, but that's not enough; I can blindly type in code from a tutorial, but that doesn't mean I'd be able to field questions on it. (What could you do about that?) I will give a presentation to fellow Hacker Schoolers demonstrating a small database interaction in code I have written. That's an easy binary to check; either I've given the presentation or I haven't.
Thoughts, questions, ideas? Got your own example TDL assessment (at any stage of revision), or ways to improve the ones above? Holler in the comments.

A new path...where things are unknown but one is holding on to Fearless...is a challenge. I hope/wish I can embrace it as you write it.
Fearless. I will embrace it with you.

Then you will be Fearless and embrace it - take the opportunity that may lead you where you want to go even if you aren't sure it will.. I love this Alis and wish you all good things for your journey.

You might have jinxed it... But then as you say, it might bring joy. And trying to be fearless has many ways to growth. Not always a comfort, but still. Love the pages you made with this word. The pages look quiet and thoughtful, just like the words you wrote down. You are on your way!

Dear Alisa,
I wish you all the best on your new journey and new path, and am sure it will bring you joy, as you was the one to choose.
"travel" safe and happy.
P.S. your journal is gorgeous!

I just discovered your blog and it is just beautiful! I especially love your words on fearless. Isn't it amazing how we "think" we know where the ship is going and suddenly the wind shifts and we are off what we thought was our course? I love it. In that scary-roller-coasters-are-fun kind of way! Look forward to browsing more. Your photography is beautiful!
