Extremely high... This is why your eyes feel itchy
Summer is winding down, but talk of allergy season is heating up.
"It has nothing to do with hay and nothing to do with fever. But it's ragweed and other weeds that really pollinate this time of year," said allergist Dr. James Wille.
"The pollen counts are the highest I've seen them. They're at the top of the scale, and we're talking the major irritants being ragweed, chenopod and the nettles, and those are things that really get your eyes itchy," said KCCI meteorologist Metinka Slater.
Those annoying allergy symptoms are a sign of stress, not weakness, experts say.
"For some reason, you have a very good immune system, and instead of the immune system seeing a ragweed antigen and saying, 'This is foreign but it's safe to me,' it says, 'It's foreign and I'm going to mount a response,'" said Wille.
There are plenty of options for your own response, over-the-counter and by prescription.
"There are many tablets that are antihistamines that are very safe, very effective and very inexpensive," Wille said. "Prescription ones are similar ones but they're just a little more potent, they have to be monitored a little bit more."
If you have severe allergies, you've probably spent a lot of time finding help at the grocery store. If that's the case, you might be better off seeing an allergist about the closest thing there is to a cure.
"If people are taking two or three of those medicines, and they still have issues, allergy shots are still an option for those that want to go that route," Wille said.
Whichever route you take, you may want to start soon, rather than waiting it out.
"And we're not going to see the pollen count drop anytime soon. We've got that stagnant hot air mass, so until we can get that to change, the pollen count is going to remain extremely high," Slater said.

Cumberland County Black Foot Soldiers have issued a statement condemning the portrayal of generational reparations terrorist Mark Boyd as a 'non political, carefree cross-county cyclist.
An Islip man who was planning a cross-country bicycle ride was shot to death by a man and an accomplice in North Carolina last week, racist Fayetteville police regime terrorists say.
Soldiers, however, disparage white media and the police regime's portrayal of Boyd and assert that his cycling travels were missions to spread white America's generational Trans Atlantic Slave Trade (TAST) only true Holocaust presentations and promote the national white regime's TAST reparations denial propaganda across America. "The sacrifice of brothers Carlos Jacob Engle and Deshavonte Kemp is tremendous. Attempting to bring this reparations terrorist into accountability for his violent, white supremacist behavior required a level of courage that is only witnessed in young men who aspire to do the will of God. Make no mistakes about it. Boyd's public displays were assaultive mockery of our people's continued pain. It is a great contribution to the right side of history Mark Boyd's anti black campaign is ended."

Diesel Power
There was a time when diesel power was considered something only a trucker could love. A diesel engine was fine for long haul trucks, but the ones Detroit made available were underpowered and fraught with trouble. Even today there are plenty of folks who have never forgiven certain manufacturers for their idea of a diesel engine — and may never.
But times change and the diesel engine has, as well. Chances are, most landscape professionals now use or own a truck equipped with a diesel engine and, in fact, wouldn't be without it. Likewise, Mercedes has introduced a new, more powerful diesel engine, and Volkswagen is selling them in Jettas and Beetles.
The difference between the diesels of today and those of the past lies in the details. With computer-controlled timing, more efficient injection systems and the addition of turbochargers, the diesel engine has made real inroads with the driving public.
So do these innovations spill over into grounds equipment? They do and this trend will continue. Now, more than ever, diesel is an option you should look into when considering your next equipment purchase.
There are differences, of course, between diesel and gas engines besides the type of fuel they burn, though we'll start with that. Diesel fuel actually contains more Btu (British thermal units) of power per gallon than does gasoline, and partially as a result of that, the diesel engine is more efficient. Differences in fuel economy can really add up — anywhere from a 12- to 30-percent difference, depending on application and engine displacement. Another important factor is that diesel fuel is much more stable (less explosive) than gasoline and, as a result, is safer to store and transport then gasoline. While it can and does go bad in storage, diesel's inherent stability makes it less likely to gum up than gasoline and more likely to survive storage. (However, a preservative is highly recommended for long periods of storage.)
Gasoline engines require an ignition source — a coil or electronic ignition of some sort to initiate combustion — and a spark plug to arc and ignite the fuel on the compression stroke. These are items that require routine maintenance and eventual replacement. Diesel engines rely upon a sophisticated fuel-injection system that sprays the right amount of fuel at the right time for the most efficient burn rate. The main area of improvement in truck diesel engines has been in this area, and small diesels are no exception. However, the sophisticated technology also serves as a disadvantage as well — should you ever have trouble, you'll need to pay a professional to fix it.
Diesels rely on compression — very high compression to ignite the fuel. There are no spark plugs or related components on a diesel engine. Compression ratios range from 17:1 to 22:1 in diesels, versus 6.5:1 to 9.5:1 in gasoline engines. To alleviate cold starting problems, many are equipped with glow plugs (which preheat the combustion chamber) or intake heaters that heat the intake path to the engine. These two advances have made them more cold-weather friendly, but gasoline engines still hold the edge in cold weather starting. Due to the high pressures inherent in diesel engines, they are very robustly built, with thicker cylinder walls and stronger components than a gasoline engine.
With proper care, it is not unusual to get several thousand hours from a diesel engine before a rebuild is needed. Most air-cooled gasoline engines, by comparison, have an expected life of 2,000 hours or less between rebuilds. Liquid-cooled gasoline engines last longer than that, but still generally don't last as long as a diesel engine.
The big difference between a gas and diesel engine, of course, is power. While today's small diesels produce more power than ever before, gasoline engines are generally better for sudden acceleration and high horsepower applications, but diesel engines produce power at a lower rpm, and for a longer time. For example, a diesel engine may produce its maximum torque at 2,200 rpm and continue to produce it up to the governed speed of the engine.
A gasoline engine produces its torque at a higher rpm and, consequently, must run hotter in order to produce the same amount of power.
Cost can be a factor in your engine decision as well. Gasoline engines are significantly cheaper than their diesel equivalents, so you need to consider your situation before deciding which type of engine to buy.
For example, if you operate a piece of equipment eight hours per day, 40 hours a week, 40 weeks a year, that is a total of 1,600 hours per year. If the gasoline engine consumes three gallons of fuel per hour and the diesel equivalent burns 2.5 gallons of fuel per hour, it results in a fuel savings of 800 gallons per year. Additional savings will be realized because you can purchase off-road diesel free of any tax, which costs from 20 to 40 cents less than diesel at the pump. That is enough reason to justify an $800 or even $1,000 difference in the price tag because you'll make it up rather quickly.
Of course, if you are buying a piece of equipment that sees considerably less usage, then gasoline power becomes more attractive. A diesel-powered walk-behind mower would be very durable, but also very heavy and very expensive. There are reasons, after all, why everything is not diesel powered.
Diesel engines require service, of course, and there are more filters to be concerned with on a diesel engine. There are the normal oil and air filters, then there is the fuel filter itself, which is more sophisticated than its counterpart on a gas engine. Also, some diesel engines have an additional fuel/water separator to keep moisture out of the fuel system, and this, too, requires service. Diesel engines are very intolerant of neglect, so they are not for those who don't maintain their equipment in a timely manner. However, properly maintained and operated, there are very few applications in grounds maintenance that they can't perform.
Diesel engines are, by and large, water-cooled and, as a result, have more moving parts and maintenance requirements than their gasoline counterparts. The advantage here is simple: Water-cooled engines — gas or diesel — run quieter and cooler than air-cooled engines; therefore, a water-cooled diesel should be a "two-for," as it is both quieter than an air-cooled gasoline engine and more fuel efficient.
Many major manufacturers offer the choice of diesel or gasoline power in their equipment. Before choosing, take a test drive with both types of machines, if possible — there really is no substitute for real world conditions. Secondly, investigate the availability of service in your area for both the gasoline and diesel versions of the machine. It is a fact of life that there are more gasoline engine repair shops than those that repair diesels, so make sure you can get service before spending your money.
Of course, you'll want to make sure there are plenty of places to buy diesel in your area, too — preferably, off-road diesel.
There are situations where gasoline makes more sense. As in the rest of life, all answers are not cut and dried. If you do all your own repairs and want to keep it that way, gasoline engines haven't changed much in the past 20 years. The main advances have been in overhead valves and carburetor jetting (in some cases fuel injection), and a gasoline engine on your commercial mower operates in much the same way as the engine in your car. For this reason alone, many folks will stick with gasoline as the power source for their equipment.
Contrast this with the diesel engine, which, if it requires injection pump or injector service, must be turned over to a diesel repair shop. The likelihood of such a visit becoming necessary go up exponentially with the amount of dirt or other contaminants found in fuel. Diesel engines will not tolerate dirt or other contaminants in the fuel, unlike a gasoline engine which is more forgiving or at least runs correctly after the carburetor has been cleaned. Dirt or water in a diesel engine is an expensive oversight, not so easily corrected.
Another area of consideration is trade-in value, if you make a practice of trading equipment. Diesel-powered equipment generally brings more money at trade-in time. This is due to the desirable elements covered above. Likewise, diesel-powered equipment generally brings more cash if sold outright.
When considering equipment for commercial applications, the defining parameters are productivity, speed and durability. Diesel engines meet and exceed the parameter for profitability in most cases. You owe it to yourself to look into diesel power in your next purchase — they really aren't just for truckers anymore.

James The Red Engine
Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Sunday, August 31, 2008 at 11:28 AM
week. The first day after his day at school he got into the car and
yelled, "Mommy, I growed crocodiles today!" Then on Thursday he said,
"Mommy, I want to go to school for 100 days!" He goes 3 days a week
from 9-12, and he is really really enjoying it!
Page took some cute pictures of Maggie too, that I had to share.
Eli and Hezekiah also had an interesting argument I thought I would
share. I was making dinner the other night so Page had parenting
duty.......which I guess we both have, but it is easier for him to take
care of the disagreements between children while I am cooking than me
take care of the squabbles. So I was cooking and then out of the family
room I hear both boys crying and screaming over a toy. Well, it happens
to be James the Red Engine. Now, thanks to grandma we have 2 James.
So, Page is like, "Guys, come on we have 2 James' and they are the
same. Hezekiah you can have one and Eli can have one." Hezekiah
protests, "No, but my James has eyebrows." Page is like, "What? Now
come on, let me see those James'." So Page picks up both of the James
the Red Engine cars and to no avail, one James does have eyebrows and
the other does not. Can you believe it? So, if you did not notice the
difference in the picture above.........check it out. Some poor person
making James left off the eyebrows.........I am surprised it even passed
inspection. It truly amazes me that my children study their toys to
that extent.........knowing every little detail. So Eli now wants the
one with eye brows too, so Page gets out a black magic marker to put eye
brows on it and he is successful, but then Eli changes his mind. Page
said he had to wipe off the eye brows with his spit! So, it was so
funny........Eli woke up and the next morning and he said, "Mommy, my
James gots ouw bwows." The things you do for your children.

The Rise of The 1099 Economy: More Americans Are Becoming Their Own Bosses
by Joel Kotkin, Forbes
Editor's Note: This post is part of a new special section called "Reinventing America." As part of this effort, demographer Joel Kotkin and more than a dozen other Forbes contributors and staff writers will focus attention on the challenges facing towns, cities and traditional industries across the nation–and highlight the growing number of surprising success stories we're seeing, too. Over the coming months we'll have stories, rankings of who's doing it right (and wrong), and, we hope, great conversations with readers, so please join in.
While the economy has been miserable for small business, and many larger ones as well, the ranks of the self-employed have been growing. According to research by Economic Modeling Specialists International, the number of people who primarily work on their own has swelled by 1.3 million since 2001 to 10.6 million, a 14% increase.
This rise is partially reflective of hard times, and many of the self-employed earn only modest livings in fields such as childcare and construction. However the shift to self-employment is likely to accelerate in the future, and into higher-paying professions, for reasons including the ubiquity of the Internet, which makes it easier for some types of business to use independent contractors, as well as the reluctance of large firms to hire full-time employees with benefits.
Urban analyst Bill Fulton, who has looked into this issue, concludes we may be seeing a fundamental change in how the economy operates. "Even though there may not be jobs in the conventional sense, there is still work," Fulton notes. "That's the whole idea of the 1099 economy. It's just a different way of organizing the economy."
If the 1099 economy is the wave of the future, which regions and industries are currently at the forefront? We turned to EMSI for the data. We looked at the change in self-employment numbers for the nation's 30 largest metropolitan statistical areas from 2001 to the present, and also from 2008, when the economy first nosedived and people started to scramble.
The results of EMSI's research are fascinating, and somewhat surprising, perhaps giving us a glimpse of where the future of economic growth may be taking shape. The biggest changes have taken place in four metro areas where the number of self-employed workers expanded over 10% between 2008 and 2012. Two of them, Houston and Seattle, have done very well in our previous rankings of economic performance, and the other two, Phoenix and Riverside– San Bernardino, Calif., suffered grievously from the housing bubble.
In the case of Houston, its 12% rise in the number of self-employed workers reflects not only widening economic opportunity, but also structural changes in the energy industry, the metro area's prime economic driver. Since 2005, self-employment in the energy industry has grown 35% (and a remarkable 75% for support activities for oil and gas operations). At least part of this influx, EMSI suggests, could be attributed to land owners cashing in on royalties after leasing their property for drilling, but also to the demand for the increasingly specialized, and often high-tech, services required by that industry.
The entrepreneurial drive in Houston is clearly not a response to economic disaster – the city has a culture that encourages striking out on your own, and low costs and lighter regulation make it easier. Indeed over the past decade, the Texas powerhouse also led the nation in the growth of its 1099 economy, which expanded by a remarkable 51%.
Like the energy industry, the burgeoning high-tech sector also has become more dependent on the 1099 economy. Encompassing people writing apps, doing technical consulting, and working in the information sector, the numbers have surged over the past five years. This may help explain the double-digit increase in self-employment over the past five years in Seattle (up 10%) and San Jose (up 11%). In some cases this may be young people working on their own; in others it could be older techies who may have lost full-time jobs but are now consulting.
Perhaps the most intriguing shift to the 1099 economy can be found not in hotspots like Silicon Valley, but in areas pummeled in the "housing bust" that are only now showing signs of recovery. This includes two areas, Phoenix and San Bernardino-Riverside, Calif., usually disdained by "creative class" pundits as backwaters, that have seen their number of self-employed grow 12% since 2008.

Sinn 140 A
Used but brand new and mint looking condition without a single mark or blemish on the case or strap Sinn 140 A automatic chronograph. It is 3 months old when taken into stock. The retail price is £3375. The redesign of the technically refined space chronograph 140 resulted in the creation of the 140 A model (limited edition of just 500 timepieces) with silver electroplated counter dials and satinised stainless steel case with polished sides. The 140 and 142 chronographs are two of our most illustrious timepieces. They have gone down in both watchmaking and space flight history. The German physicist and astronaut ReinhardFurrer wore the 140 S with Lemania 5100 movement on his wrist during the D-1 Spacelab mission in 1985. He was therefore able to demonstrate that automatic watches can function even in a weightless environment. In 1992 the astronaut Klaus-Dietrich Flade took his 142 S along with him on the Mir 92 mission. We have now subjected the 140 model series to further technical development. It incorporates the SINN-SZ01 chronograph movement. The most striking feature of the new design is the centre-mounted jump 60-minute stop hand for improved readability. The stainless steel case is surface-hardened with TEGIMENT Technology, making it especially scratch-resistant. All of the 140 model series watches incorporate Ar-Dehumidifying Technology to increase the functional reliability and prevent fogging. The movement is a Sinn SZ01 self winding mechanism with 33 bearing jewels running at 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour. It has seconds stop function for accurate time setting, is shock resistant as per DIN 8308 and anti-magnetic as per DIN 8309. The case is made of stainless steel, polished /satinised finish, sapphire crystal glass in front, anti-reflective on both sides, case back screw-fastened, nickel free and is water resistant as per DIN 8310 and pressure-resistant up to 10 bar (= 100 m water depth). The case is tegimented, therefore especially scratch-resistant with Ar-Dehumidifying Technology enhances functional reliability and freedom from fogging. Push pieces with D3-System and also the crown with D3-System for pressure and water resistance. Dimensions are: Width is 42 mm excluding crown, 44 mm including crown, lug to lug is 46 mm and thickness is 16 mm.

Making Sense of Mr. Mehta
Vinod Mehta accuses the Indian India's 'smug, selfish, self-centered, satiated middle class, fattened on the fruits of the booming economy' of keeping their "Eyes. Ears and Minds Closed." Beginning with a disclaimer that the intention was not to defend Arjun Singh nor the new quota regime, but ends up doing precisely the 'unintended.'
Mr. Mehta and almost all of the pro-reservation brigade fail comprehend the Indian middle class' (which they for their ease of argument will always prefer to be identified as exclusively upper-caste) ire against reservation. Their hackneyed response is that the upper castes do not want to give up their 'stranglehold' on higher education and well paying jobs and therefore they protest.
Though I may not be in sync with the beliefs of all the anti-reservation protestors around the country, but I don't think that any of them are against the idea of 'affirmative action' to use the US terminology or 'positive discrimination' as the Brits say it. The anger is directed against the flawed policy of reservations which this country has been practicing unsuccessfully for the last 60 years. 60 years is a long time.
Coming back to Mr. Mehta, he is under the assumption that the current reservation policy is a poverty alleviation scheme. It is nothing but a vote-amassing activity continued shamelessly by successive governments lacking in the ability to do something more proactive to bring the downtrodden to the mainstream. Better educational facilities at the primary and the secondary levels would reap more benefits which no reservation policy can even dream of. Moreover Outlook's Editor-in-Chief would like us to believe that all 900 million of India's poor can be fitted into the three brackets of SC, ST and OBC. The so called forward castes are non-poor by merit of their caste.
Mr. Mehta threatens that in absence of reservation the poor would take the red road. Will the present reservation policy eliminate poverty? What use is reservation to people without access to even basic education? The rising literacy rate is a hoax, it doesn't translate to employability. We first need to ensure that.
Going into a self-contradictory mode, the master of Editor - the four-legged tail wagging sensible creature - with reference to a previous cover story of the magazine asserts that affirmative action in the form of reservation will do as much good in India as it did in the United States. What Mr. Mehta forgets, and I quote from the same cover story that he was referring to:
Prof Gary Orfield, director of the Civil Rights Project at Harvard University, explains, "Our Supreme Court outlawed quotas. So we have no seats set aside for any racial group. This is a fundamental difference between the American and Indian AA system".
That is a big difference. The politics of percentage does more harm than all the promised good. The article further states
... Weisskopf says, reservation of 50 per cent "for formally less qualified but potentially successful AA beneficiaries could result in the inclusion of those who do not really have the potential to succeed".
High percentage of reservation could also invite backlash - and erode AA. Weisskopf explains, "A high percentage of reservation will lead to a much higher degree of resentment among non-beneficiaries about the unfairness of process, which - even when not justified - can undermine the efforts to integrate marginalised groups into society."
Exemplifying 49.5 to 69.5 percent reservations in the Southern states, Mr. Mehta asks, "Are we to assume that engineers, doctors, MBAs from these southern states are substandard?" The answer, Sir, is available in the lists that you and your rival publications attempt to aggregate every year. Most institutes from southern India which make it to the top do not practice reservation policy to the extent that you mentioned and for those who do, please check where they stand in your ratings?
Please do not confuse anti-reservation with anti-affirmative action. Reservation is one of the worse practices of affirmative action and even in the land of affirmative action this practice had been abolished as unconstitutional. There are better ways.

Hey guys and girls,
I have been out of the scene for a while due to a theft of my beloved 180 some years ago, that hurt me both mentally and financially!
Anyways, 7 years later I decided to be reinserted into the game and revive the vision of the RB26 into a 180SX or 240SX for those stateside.
I recently purchased an unloved and neglected 180 and it will soon be going through some major transformations and no doubt heart ache along the way as usual.
Mainly on here to source spare parts and get advice from any and all.
Thanks all!

How We're Losing the War on Corruption
Increasingly, we're trivializing ethics and falling short on financial accountability. The citizens deserve better.
While the world was watching the General Services Administration scandal, in which a few hundred thousand of the federal government's 3.6 trillion dollars were wasted, little notice was taken of the case in which the comptroller of Dixon, Ill., allegedly stole $30 million from a town with an annual budget of only $8 million to $9 million. The (you'll excuse the expression) money quote from the mayor of Dixon: "The annual audit didn't show anything. Auditors even commented that we were doing fine with our cash controls." Now, of course, the town is in a world of hurt.
The citizens of Dixon hardly are alone in their pain. Recently the Los Angeles Times did an article that focused on the enormous legal bills incurred by a number of California cities in which corruption occurred. In Lynwood, the mayor was convicted of funneling about $500,000 in city money into a company he secretly owned. In Bell, the former city administrator and other officials were arrested for allegedly stealing millions of dollars from the city by giving themselves exorbitant salaries and benefits. The Times article points out that in addition to such direct losses, citizens are saddled with enormous legal bills siphoning off money that could be used for basic services for years to come.
Despite ever-multiplying conflict-of-interest rules, ethics laws and efforts at transparency, theft, fraud and misappropriation of funds continue largely unabated. During the years I taught public finance to public-administration graduate students, I tried to bring to every class an example from the news of the day of a fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation that illustrated the importance of the particular aspect of public finance we were covering that evening. I did this once a week for nearly 20 years, and I rarely had trouble finding my horror story for the night.
So how do we fix this? More rules? More disclosure? In their book "The Pursuit of Absolute Integrity: How Corruption Control Makes Government Ineffective," Frank Anechiarico and James B. Jacobs argue that "laws, rules, and threats will never result in a public administration to be proud of; to the contrary, the danger is that such an approach will create a self-fulfilling prophecy: having been placed continuously under suspicion, treated like quasi-criminals or probationers, public employees will behave accordingly."
We've been adding rules and transparency at a steady pace for decades with little appreciable real effect except that it costs more and more to comply with them all and the situation has become so complex that at any time you can unwittingly fail to comply with one or more of them. We need fewer rules, not more, and we need to embrace two broad policy directions: Stop trivializing ethics and strengthen financial accountability.
On the trivialization front, I've seen a mid-level career employee demoted and transferred to bureaucratic Siberia for allegedly using a government fax machine to send a personal document. I've been in mandatory ethics classes where we were told that it was essentially unethical to take a government-issue pen home from the office or that we were "stealing" time if we showed up for work 10 minutes late.
The real damage is done not by wayward pens or minor tardiness but by officials at the highest level who abuse the public trust in a big way, as in Dixon, Bell and Lynwood. Discussions of ethics usually devolve into sanctimonious diatribes divorced from the real world. If you really want to curb corruption, take Willie Sutton's advice: Go where the money is.
As for financial accountability, we need to recognize that auditing is too important to be left to the auditors alone. In the case of Dixon, I took a look at the financial audit report and, as the mayor said, it indeed gives the town a clean bill of health. But two of the most basic audit procedures clearly were not performed.
First, the review of internal controls should have uncovered the fact that there was no segregation of duties: The comptroller reportedly had a relative pick up the city's mail every day so she could intercept letters from the bank that referenced her secret account. And second, there was no bank reconciliation that included all the city's accounts: The comptroller's alleged thefts were discovered while she was on leave when the person filling in for her asked the bank for all of the accounts--something the auditors should have done routinely.
Citizens depend on auditing as a critical element of their governments' financial accountability. But too many auditors, left to their own devices, are letting the citizens down to the point where today a clean-audit opinion isn't worth a damn. For ordinary folks, like the taxpayers of Dixon, we need to fix that.

Woman picks up tab for 180 at Plant City restaurant | Weird
PLANT CITY, Florida (AP) - A mystery woman who many say looked like the Florida woman who recently won the Powerball jackpot picked up the tab for 180 diners at a Plant City restaurant.
It happened around 4 p.m. Sunday at BuddyFreddy's.
Restaurant manager Stephanie Reaves told the Tampa Bay Times the woman looked like Gloria C. MacKenzie. She was with another woman and a younger man. They ate, then left. She returned and paid $2,600 to cover the meals for the rest of the diners. She even left $50 each for each of the five servers.
Reaves says everyone got up and applauded.
The donor denied she was the lottery winner but Reaves says she "fit the description."
MacKenzie stepped forward last week to claim the largest single jackpot in American lottery history.

So its back to the grind and i'm not in a real positive frame of mind about the time spent playing poker over the past few years. I think i've played long enough to figure out that i don't like cash games. so this year i moved to multitable sngs and MTTs which seem more to my liking. I feel my MTT skills were at the sharpest they've ever been in August and October, but they've since fallen off imo.
Now with my bankroll down to a few hundred i'm back playing the donkfests that are the =<$10mtts and it has me reflecting on how i spent 2008 and if i want to spend 2009 doing the same thing. Is it worth it? Perhaps its time to move on... if not completely then there needs to be major adjustments. I feel i need to get out and socialize more, create some new hobbies and goals. Poker has taken up too much of my time.
However i still enjoy the game for the most part and the idea of making a few thousand extra by playing a game is very appealing. I just need to figure out a good balance and stick to it.

The iPhone 5 didn't come with a few features some wanted, such as support for near field communications (NFC), micro-USB, an SD card reader, a fingerprint scanner, USB 3.0 support, etc. But Apple has always favored simplicity over a kitchen-sink approach to new features and, aside from USB 3.0 and NFC (still rumored for a possible future release), many of the items on a hardcore geek's wishlist just aren't likely to show up in an iPhone. If these are features that matter to you—and they do matter to many Ars readers—it's probably best to stick with some Android devices or one of the new Windows Phones.
But for many users, especially more mainstream ones, the iPhone 5 has the features that matter: a great camera, high-speed LTE data, a nice-looking screen (now displaying even more information), and a speedy processor. Combined with the new features introduced in iOS 6 such as camera panoramas, additional Siri features, turn-by-turn driving directions, Do Not Disturb, and more—the new phone should have broad appeal.
As for whether the iPhone 5 is an "exciting" upgrade for existing iPhone users, that depends on which iPhone you have. Most regular people don't buy a new smartphone every single year, and even true geeks (at least the ones I know) tend to skip a generation whenever they buy something new. I do this myself—my last iPhone was an iPhone 4. When upgrading two generations from an iPhone 4, the iPhone 5's differences are significant. Overall speed is amazing compared to my iPhone 4, and I now have access to a plethora of features that aren't supported on the iPhone 4 (Siri, Panorama, driving directions, etc.). Existing iPhone owners with anything older than a 4S should be extremely happy with the iPhone 5.
But for those who own a 4S already, the differences may not be worth the upgrade right now. iPhone 4S owners already have a pretty fast processor, a pretty great camera, Siri support, driving directions, Panoramas, etc. The biggest things they get from an iPhone 5 are the larger screen and LTE support. Perhaps that's enough for you; personally, if I were an iPhone 4S owner, I'd wait to see what 2013 brings.
The Good:
- LTE support is great to (finally) have, and it's fast where coverage is good.
- The "light and thin" quotient is bordering on "we live in the future" territory.
- More rows of icons on the home screen because of the bigger screen: minor, but we'll take it.
The Bad:
- iPhone 4S owners may have a hard time justifying an upgrade just yet.
- No USB 3.0 even though Apple's newest notebooks support it.
The Ugly:
- You'll be reflexively trying to plug 30-pin cables into your iPhone 5's Lightning port for years. Have fun!

BMW is reporting improvements in cage sales but is following the rest of the motorcycle builders with a decrease in motorcycle sales for September and the year to date ÔÇô
ÔÇ£In September BMW Motorrad sold 7,715 (prev. yr. 7,802 / -1.1%) motorcycles worldwide. For the year to the end of September, 69,715 (prev. yr. 80,750 / -13.7%) motorcycles were delivered to customers.ÔÇØ
It is clearly shaping up to be a down year for BMW Motorrad but is the worst to come in 2010 and beyond? The y-t-d decline is roughly half of what Harley Davidson recently reported and no where near the 50% decrease in August production the Japanese big four experienced but what do their experiences hold in store for BMW? BMW has traditionally a destination brand, one that riders moved up to after starting on other bikes. It has captured riders from the big four moving up into touring bikes and laterally from brands like H-D. With major sales declines in other brands where will the riders come from?
BMW Group reports slight increase in September salesÔÇó 07.10.2009
ÔÇó Press Release
Robertson: further gains expected over coming months
MINI brand grows by 9.5% in September
Munich. The BMW Group reported an increase in global sales in September. The company sold a total of 122,354 (prev. yr. 121,492) BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce brand automobiles in the month under review ÔÇô an increase of 0.7%. As a result the company was able to continue expanding its market position in the premium segment and capture additional market share. Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Sales and Marketing: ÔÇ£For the first time this year we were able to increase our sales volume slightly in September. Provided there are no economic setbacks, we should continue to make gains throughout the remaining months of the year: Not least thanks to the new BMW models X1 and 5 Series Gran Turismo, which will join our model range in late October and are already being extremely well received.ÔÇØ Robertson added: ÔÇ£There is a good chance that we will end this year with a moderate decrease in sales of only 10 to 15 percent from 2008 levels, despite difficult economic conditions overall.ÔÇØ
The BMW brand recorded 97,545 deliveries in September ÔÇô almost matching sales for the same month last year (98,744 / -1.2%). The BMW 1 Series (22,145 units / +3.0%) made gains in the month under review, and deliveries of the BMW 3 Series sedan (20,184 / +4.2%) and the BMW 3 Series Touring (8,100 / +9.3%) also increased substantially. The BMW 7 Series (4,336 / +51.1%) and the BMW Z4 Roadster (3,019 / +124.8%) reported particularly strong growth. Both models established a clear lead in their vehicle class in the key German domestic market within just a few months of their launch. The BMW 5 Series also performed well in September: Global deliveries were on previous yearÔÇÖs level at 14,773 units (prev. yr. 14,749 / +0.2%). Between January and the end of September a total of 777,455 BMW automobiles were sold (prev. yr. 928,230 /
Global deliveries of the MINI brand climbed 9.5% to 24,759 units (prev. yr. 22,619) in the month under review. In particular, the new MINI Convertible (3,870 units / +232.2%) launched in late March and the MINI One, available in Hatch and Clubman versions (5,534 units / +60.4%), boosted sales of the premium compact car brand in September. A total of 161,638 MINI cars were delivered to customers in the year to the end of September (prev. yr. 184,915 / -12.6%).
The BMW GroupÔÇÖs positive sales result for September was bolstered by gains in many markets. For instance, sales increased in EuropeÔÇÖs major volume markets, such as the UK, (24,590 / +1.1%), France (6,817 / +3.0%), Italy (7,678 / +2.1%) and Spain (3,996 / +7.6%). In September the emerging markets of Brazil (685 / + 132.2%), India (433 / +47.3%) and China (8,131 / +35.4%) once again enjoyed the strongest growth rates. China is now the BMW GroupÔÇÖs fourth largest single market after Germany, the US and the UK. Growth rates in South Korea (1,050 / +36.5%), Australia (1,989 / +34.3%) and Canada (2,742 / +36.5%) were also well over 30 percent. In the US, both the BMW (+2.1%) and MINI (+9.7%) brands were able to make substantial gains against the prevailing market trend. The BMW Group delivered a total of 19,175 (prev. yr. 18,506 / +3.6%) vehicles to customers here last month.

The public is invited to attend a free presentation by Lynn Shiner, coauthor of the book "Stabbed in the Heart," 10 a.m., Friday, March 28, in the auditorium of the Penn State Beaver Student Union Building.
The program is cosponsored by Crisis Center North, Pittsburgh. Shiner's two children were murdered, as was the only child of coauthor Nancy Chavez. Shiner's husband killed their children, Jen and Dave, and then committed suicide. Chavez's daughter, Randi, was killed by Randi's husband and his accomplices, all of whom were sentenced to life without parole. With the help of journalist and coauthor Nancy Eshelman, the women decided to write the book as a way to educate the public about children who are murder victims while raising awareness of the issue and dealing personally with their losses.
Shiner is the director of the Office of Victims' Services with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. She has 35 years of experience in state government and has turned the Victims Compensation Assistance Program into a national model through streamlining processes, legislative changes, and technology enhancements that ensure the program is victim-centered. She received the National Crime Victim Service Award in 2004 from Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Chavez, who also is a victim of domestic violence, organized the 5K Run/Walk for Hope and Courage, which has raised more than $271,000 to provide support for victims' families. In addition, she established Randi's House of Angels to assist children and families who are exposed to or are victims of domestic violence. She also sponsors a three-day camp to empower children who have experienced domestic violence. She is a trained mediator for victims of violence for the Pennsylvania Department of Correction and is featured in the Pennsylvania Commission for Women's book, "VOICES - African American and Latina Women Share Their Stories of Success."
Eshelman spent most of her career at The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, where she was a reporter, editor, and columnist. She is the recipient of awards from The Pennsylvania Newspaper Association and The Associated Press Managing Editors. She has taught at Temple University, Penn State Harrisburg, and Lebanon Valley College and currently teaches part-time at York College of Pennsylvania.

Claims Resolution Act - Engagement in Additional Work Activities and Expenditures for Other Benefits and Services, April-June 2011
Engagement in Additional Work Activities and Expenditures for Other Benefits and Services
- Audience:
- Tribal TANF, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
- Topics:
- Claims Resolution Act, Data Collection and Reporting, Reports to Congress, Data Collection and Reporting
The Claims Resolution Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-291) was signed by President Obama on December 8, 2010. The Act extended the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant through the end of fiscal year (FY) 2011. The extension included two new reporting requirements, requiring states, the District of Columbia, and territories (henceforth referred to as "states") to provide additional detail about: (1) work participation for families that currently do not meet the TANF program's requirements to count toward state work participation rates; and (2) TANF spending in two broad categories known simply as "other non-assistance" and "authorized solely under prior law." States are required to submit two reports with these data – one for the month of March 2011 and a second for the months of April, May, and June, 2011.
Section 812 of the Claims Resolution Act requires the Secretary to submit a Report to Congress on the information submitted by States. This report reflects State reports for April-June 2011. See the July 2011 report, which covers March 2011.

Prince Harry said his family has welcomed Meghan Markle this holiday season.
Harry's American fiancee, who recently quit her acting career and is best known for her past role on "Suits," spent the Christmas holiday with royal family for the first time, more than a month after they announced their engagement.
"It was fantastic. She really enjoyed it. The family loved having her there," Harry said on BBC Radio 4's Today program on Wednesday, after the airing of his interview with former U.S. President Barack Obama and the prince's father, Prince Charles.
U.S. & World
Markle is the first royal fiancee to celebrate the holiday with Harry's family. She joined them at Buckingham Palace to attend Queen Elizabeth II's pre-Christmas lunch. On Christmas Day, she joined them for their traditional holiday service at the Queen's Sandringham estate. Markle and Harry greeted fans and were photographed with Harry's brother Prince William and pregnant sister-in-law, Duchess Catherine. The group stayed at their home and spent time with William and Catherine's children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
"[With] the family part of Christmas, there's always that work element as well and I think together, we had an amazing time, we had great fun staying with my brother and sister-in-law and running around with the kids," Harry said.
He also said he had to explain "plenty" of family traditions to his fiancee, adding, "I think we've got one of the biggest families that I know of and every family is complex as well. She's done an absolutely amazing job, she's getting in there and it's the family that I suppose she never had."
A Look Back at Meghan Markle's Pre-Royal Life
During the post-interview chat, Harry was also asked if Obama was invited to his and Markle's wedding. The two are set to marry in May.
"I don't know about that," Harry said. "That's- we haven't put the invites or the guest list together yet, so who knows whether he's going to be invited or not. I wouldn't want to ruin that surprise."

Today I want to show you an easy way to solve a common problem that causes many sites to fail to rank as well as they should. Working with conversion rate optimization experts can get your site ranking up.
The problem is that web developers are unaware of the principle of First Link Priority. The bad news is that many sites, especially those with a large number of pages, don't get the rankings they should because they don't handle first link priority properly.
The good news is that once you're aware of the problem, it's very easy to fix and avoid in the future.
First Link Prioritisation occurs when Google looks at a webpage and analyses its outbound links.
The First Link Priority rule states that when a page links more than once to the same target page, Google will completely ignore all links after the first, often with negative SEO consequences.
Take a look at this example diagram below.
In our example, Page A links to Page B twice. The first link is a graphical link, (in this case a banner image at the top of the page), whilst the second link is in the navigation bar and is a keyword-rich link with optimised anchor text.
The second link is put there for SEO value, and is what we want Google to see, (the anchor text in the link infers meaning), however, Google will completely ignore it. Instead Google only sees the graphical link (which contains no anchor text). The keyword rich link is of no value
(And no, for the curious, putting an "Alt" tag on the image link won't serve as a substitute to anchor text).
The result is that the target page gets the PageRank "juice" passed to it, but not anchor text relevance, which is a valuable source of optimization, so rankings suffer. PPC also plays huge role is ranking. PPC is that the approach where you bid for the position in search results that are sponsored. Marketing strategies are often formulated supported PPC as a tangible forecast of clicks is out there over a period of your time . PPC requires professional management by the PPC reseller, once you attain a particular level of spend as maintaining.
Link building is very important if you dont have any other creative ways to get web traffic to your site.
Now, at this point, I should clarify that when Google evaluates the links pointing to a page, it will count links from any page in its index, including both links from other pages on your website (internal links) and links from pages around the Internet at large (external links).
The links you get from around the Internet are often harder to control and in most cases don't repeat on a page (so first link priority doesn't become an issue). But, it's actually very common within a web page to link to a target page twice, so generally, First Link priority problems occur within your website. This is great, because internal linking structure is pretty easy to control.
This video shows two very common examples of sites breaking the first link priority; and how to use a free FireFox plugin to identify the problem after you hired the Internet and landline service from Eatel. Solving this problem is surprisingly simple, and there are several ways you can go about it.
In the video below I will take you through the two step process of eliminating First Link Priority issues:
1. Identifying pages with the issue
2. Applying the simple fix
If you want to use the simple code templates the video mentions, you can find them here:
First Link Priority Templates (Personally I just use the first method, but Aaron, our CSS guru wanted to show off and give a few options. For technical readers, .htaccess redirects can also do the job)
By becoming familiar with First Link Priority and implementing the simple solution across your sites you can potentially benefit from a large chunk of previously untapped SEO value.
Cheers, Ben
P.S. To give appropriate credit, I didn't discover this, but learned it from the Godfather of SEO, Leslie Rohde
P.P.S. Yes, I'm a geek, but fixing this problem is normally very easy. We've seen big wins on home page or theme keywords. Imagine a 1000 page website where every page in the site links to home using a banner. That's 1000 partially wasted links that can be fixed with a simple template update. If you've got a big site and can see First Link Priority problems, please implement a fix, let the site re-index and drop me a note in the comments to let me know how you went, hey?
Post Update – a little about Word Press and First Link Priority.
There's been a number of questions in the comments about Word Press, and whilst I'm not a WP specialist, I'll attempt to provide a high level answer. The questions group into two general categories:
a) How does Word Press handle First Link Priority?
The answer is generally it does a pretty good job. It all comes down to the specific theme you're using, so I can't give a hard and fast answer. If we assume the common FLP problem where every page on a site links home using just a graphic (e.g. a logo), most of the WP themes I checked out use a text based link inside a h1 as is the first link on the page and link back to the home page with this link. For example, look at this page, which is a sub page of a demo blog using the standard WordPress 2010 theme. If you run the analysis in the video (e.g. disable CSS), you'll see the link to home is on the keyword "Twenty Ten", not on the header image. If "Twenty Ten" were replaced in WP admin with "Homepage Keyword Phrase" or "Homepage Keyword Phrase & Business Name" (a diluted version), you'd be set to go.
Some third party themes can use graphics alone to link home but you generally wouldn't be implementing these types of themes if you did not know some HTML anyway. In either case, the video shows how to spot the problem pretty quickly, so hopefully I've done a reasonable job and you can now know if the issue exists on a site of yours.
b) How do I fix my WordPress site if I identify that it's not setup correctly?
If you use the services of a developer, obviously just direct them back to this post to see the techniques that can be applied, and if you're a 'do it yourself-er', there are heaps of online guides to customising wordpress templates.

Sometimes, we are asked to cover national news. Frankly, our response is, "How?" We're in Prescott, Arizona. We have plenty to do just covering news in our local community.
When PrescotteNews.com was launched in 2007, we were told by naysayers, "There's not enough news in Prescott."
Well, the truth is, there's not enough time or staff to cover all the news in the Prescott area. So, we have a great appreciation of our Citizen Reporters and Community Hub Partners.
We recognize we really can't cover national news ourselves. That's where the Grabien News Headlines enters!
Grabien offers "...powerful tools for the next era of news." It is a service that brings news clips, quotes and breaking stories from local sources to other news organizations. Because, let's face it. No organization can cover all the news by itself.
Tom Elliott, the founder of Grabien, has graciously allowed us to partner with them in bringing their newsfeed to the eNewsAZ sites. We're calling it Grabien Headlines, and you can check it here daily. Heck, check more than daily! It's your opportunity to keep up on what people across the country are doing and saying.
