Gamefly: One year later

Last year GamingNexus
GameFly co-founders about their new business which rents video games to gamers around the country over the internet. Jung was gracious enough to give us a follow-up one year later to tell us how things are going.
How is the business doing compared to a year ago?
Jung Suh:
Business is going very well. Every day we are convincing gamers there is a better more reliable way to rent video games.
What's been the biggest challenge you've faced over the last year?
Jung Suh:
Online subscription services are a new model for video game rental and for gamers. Like any new concept, it takes consumer education. Once explained, the consumer response is very favorable. We are helping educate consumers through marketing efforts (both viral and traditional), PR, and word-of-mouth.
What new features are you offering customers?
Jung Suh:
We have added several new features since we first started the business. Some include:
a) For our members in good standing (those who continue to use the service and return games undamaged) we offer a 3 games-at-a-time option, for $29.95/month. A lot of our members have taken advantage of this option.
b) In November, 2003, we started offering GameFly Gift Certificates to anyone who would like to give our subscription service. GameFly gift certificates can be purchased in 1- 12 month increments, and existing members can use their gift certificate to extend their memberships. This was quite popular during the holiday season, so we will definitely continue to offer the gift certificate option.
c) We also added GameBoy Advance games to our service offering.
d) Finally, we are currently holding the first annual 2003 Q awards. We invited members to vote on their favorite games, categorized by both my platform and genre, and we will be announcing the winners in a couple of weeks. Response has been great and we are already looking at different ways to enhance the award in the future.
What do you consider to be the best decision you've made in the last year?
Jung Suh:
Trusting gamers. We believed if we built a great service for gamers, they would respond, and the answer is an overwhelming yes. Because of this, word of mouth travels fast and they tell their friends about GameFly.
If you could change one decision over the last year what would it be?
Jung Suh:
We have no regrets.
There are other competing services, do you feel that there's enough market space for all of them or do you think that there will be some contraction in the industry?
Jung Suh:
The video game business is an $11B business in the U.S., there is plenty of room for everybody. Remember, GameFly carries over 1500 titles, which is 5 times the number you will find at your average
national rental chain.
How did the name come about?
Jung Suh:
We were thinking of names that connoted games, speed, and reliability and we came up with GameFly.
What do you think the big gaming events of 2004 will be?
Jung Suh:
We are one of the official sponsors of the V Games, which is a 30-city game tournament taking place at malls across the country, from March through October. I think we will be seeing more events like this, which are a great indicator that games have become as mainstream as movies and TV.
Where do you see Gamefly going over the next year or so?
Jung Suh:
I see the fundamentals staying the same: more members, better content, and continued improvements to the service. We spend all of our time growing the business and thinking of ways to make the customer experience the best.
What games are your currently playing?
Jung Suh:
The New James Bond game "Everything or Nothing, Project Gotham 2, Manhunt, and Socom 2. Socom is a great game.
What was the biggest surprise game for Gamefly last year?
Jung Suh:
We had so many, but the ones that stand out in my mind are Ikaruga,Disgaea and Simpson' Hit and Run.

My mother's family lived in Port Royal. My maternal grandmother, Amanda Brown's family had deep roots there and it's where my grandfather, William Dey Smedmore, was born.
The image below is of the baptismal record for my grandfather, William Dey Smedmore. As you can see, no parents are named in this record, a clear sign that he was illegitimate. For reasons that are highly frustrating to Jamaican researchers, there is a period of time in the baptismal records where many Anglican priests would not record the names of either parent if the child was born out of wedlock. Some would (very few), and some would at least record the mother's name. Curiously, the very early registers prior to 1825 recorded all this information, including the fact that the parents were not married, but not so by the 1830s.
In my next post I'll continue the story of William Dey Smedmore.

We're playing around with a rewrite of go-perl using Moose: http://geneontology.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geneontology/go-moose/OBO/ This is early enough that parts could be scrapped or rewritten.

If you're lucky enough to have a guest bathroom, you know the importance of maintaining its interior in order to make a positive impression on every visitor who uses it. However, it can be difficult to keep up with the design of a room of your home that isn't used very often. Chances are, you don't even think to take a look at the cellular shades, towels and fixtures in the guest bathroom until the holiday season rolls around.
However, it's possible to create an interior design that doesn't take much effort to incorporate and maintain over time. If you're in a jam and need to spruce up your guest bathroom before visitors stop by, here are some tips and tricks you can use.
1. Use more natural light.
Nothing says "Welcome home" like sunlight flooding through a room. If your guest bathroom's windows have seen better days, give them the TLC they deserve with new discount window treatments. Consider incorporating new drapes or cordless shades into the bathroom to allow natural light to flow into the space during the day. This can create the illusion of more space and make it feel more welcoming.
2. Opt for traditional decor.
If you're looking for a theme to use throughout the guest bathroom, TLC.com recommends keeping it traditional. Doing so might seem boring, but traditional design is elegant and can bring a sense of luxury to your bathroom. Furthermore, this type of decor can potentially make your home easier to resell in the future. Instead of opting for a design trend that may go out of style in a few years, traditional is a great way to play it safe. It's pleasing to the eye and something that anyone can settle on, including your guests when they use the space.
3. Bring in artwork.
Country Living magazine reports that artwork can spruce up any room of the home, but especially a bathroom. If your guest bathroom is lacking when it comes to eye-catching pieces that show your personal taste, artwork is the perfect way to go. You don't need to cover your walls in it - just pick a couple of pieces that give the space flair and appeal. Bathrooms aren't commonly a place for art, meaning you can really wow your guests by including some pieces in your decor.
4. Have amenities on hand.
As HGTV states, guests are always prone to forgetting a few key items when they pack for a trip - toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap. When creating an interior design for your bathroom, it's a good idea to include some of these amenities and any others that might make your visitor's stay a little easier. Perhaps you would like to keep a robe or an extra towel on hand, or maybe a glass cup for gargling would be helpful.
5. Make it fresh.
Sometimes, it's the decorative items that are incorporated last-minute that make the biggest difference in a guest bathroom. When it comes to improving the overall feel and look of this living space, you might want to bring in a vase of fresh flowers or potpourri that can freshen up the area. It's these small initiatives that can go a long way when it comes to impressing your guests.
Although it can be a little tricky sprucing up your guest bathroom to please others, these five tips can make it easier for you to achieve your design goals. At the end of the day, your visitors will be wondering how you created such a beautiful bathroom!

Posted on November 13, 2013
So yesterday was the day after the first snowfall in my neighborhood, the coldest day so far this fall. And what do you suppose your Uncle Blogsy was doing?
Ten points for everyone who guessed I was standing outside catching snowflakes on my tongue. That's not what I was doing, but I like your style.
No, pumpkin spice cannoli, I was unloading books out of people's cars. Because that's what cold weather does to my people. It makes them decide to donate books. (Hot weather affects them much the same way. If the wind chill is under 20 or over 90, it's time to load up the old bookmobile.)
So that was 17 boxes of books on Asian history and culture, particularly heavy on the history and religion of India and China. Sutras to the left of us, sutras to the right of us: a little something to sutra any customer.
There were 12 boxes from a local church's special library on aging, including an informational stand with videos and brochures on how to choose a nursing home, never out of the box, and a dozen different titles on how to have a happy old age. JUST the sort of thing I was looking for, or so people keep telling me. (I must remember to list hair dye for my next shopping list.)
Eight boxes of books on labor law: somebody told me to put these right next to the books in the geriatric collection. This puzzled me until I understood that they thought labor law had something to do with childbirth. It's the result of the cold snap: snappy jokes.
We had somebody's collection of movie soundtracks on CD, six boxes of cookbooks to go with the two dozen we took in last week, and a very nice collection of signed books. Not one of them is signed by anybody I heard of before, but that just means they're rare, right? The four albums of old Chicago postcards may go up to the collection; they came from the same person who turned up that Jane Austen first edition a few years ago.
All things considered, I spent more time out on the dock yesterday than I have in weeks. Kind of a pity nobody donated suntan lotion.
What's frightening about this was that none of it came from my major source of book donations in November: people cleaning house before the holidays. (You cannot have the relatives come to visit and figure out you don't know how to work the Kindle they gave you last year.) No, these donations all came from spontaneous people who are generous, thoughtful, thrifty, and unable to read a thermometer.
No, there is no weather that is totally unsuitable for donating books, but I need to point out to you that Tuesday was very chilly, which makes it PARTLY unsuitable. If it had been chilly AND snowy, things would have been perfect. But, hey, it's still early in the season.

A professors' rights group has issued a new report recommending that faculty members seeking employment consider the University of Colorado only as a "last resort" because, it alleges, the dismissals of two faculty members were unjust and violated academic freedom.
In the report issued this month, the Colorado Conference of the American Association of University Professors criticizes CU for not renewing the 2007 contract of Phil Mitchell, an instructor in the Sewall residential academic program, and for firing Ward Churchill, a tenured professor in the ethnic studies department. CU officials fired Churchill in 2007 after an academic misconduct investigation.
Campus spokesman Bronson Hilliard said Churchill was given full due process during the academic misconduct case, and Mitchell's contract was not renewed because he was not adhering to the academic-rigor standards that were clearly communicated in the program.
"These cases have no bearing on the issue of academic freedom, and they are certainly not related to each other," Hilliard said. "The University of Colorado at Boulder is a world-class destination for both students and faculty, and if we were systematically denying academic freedom to our professors, I don't think that would be the case."
But Colorado's branch of the AAUP says the university violated the two faculty members' academic freedom.
The report says CU orchestrated Mitchell's dismissal because of hostility by the History Department toward his conservative religious and political convictions and that Churchill was fired for his unpopular speech, stemming from a 2001 essay that dismissed some victims of the 9/11 attacks as "little Eichmanns."
"The Colorado Conference of the AAUP recommends that faculty in search of employment consider a position at the University of Colorado only as a last resort because of the University of Colorado's indifference to the ideals of academic freedom," the group said.

Is this what "elegantly wasted" actually looks like?
My god, I fucking LOVE Stool Pigeon. Amid a sea of mediocre freebie music press in the UK, Stool Pigeon stands out for being wildly opinionated (like the classic music press of yore, where debates about class, politics, gender and sexuality would routinely erupt) and steadfastly NOT subservient to PR companies and their demands. And make no mistake, PR companies do have a lot of sway in the world of street press.
I have seen friends' reviews in free music publications changed and upgraded, as a bad review would put the mag in a promo company's bad books, and risk removal from any future mailing list or free concert opportunities. In effect, opinions have had to be brought in line with a PR company's wishes, and any real self-expression or valid counter-opinion has had to be neutered. Not only does this smack of the worst kind of corporate whorism—which, granted, exists in many media spheres—it seems illogical to me that a publication that doesn't rely on a paying consumer audience to survive could treat its readers (and the artists it covers) with such ridiculous condescension.
Once upon a time music journalism was a necessity, a valuable tool for keeping up to date with your favorite acts, and for finding out about emerging talent. For gig listings, for records and concert reviews, for keeping in touch with other fans, for bitching out people and music you really hate. But the Internet has made the printed music press irrelevant, another out-moded business model within the music industry, yet another middleman whose role is not necessary any more. So why is everyone playing it so safe? Well-written and researched debate and opinion pieces should be a free paper's USP, no?
Which brings me back to Stool Pigeon. It seems to give its writers free reign to write whatever they want, without sacrificing non-mainstream opinion at the altar of "edginess." It's not desperate to seem "relevant" or "on it" like so many publications, and it doesn't try to be so alternative-to-the-alternative that it ends up being square. No, it's simple really. It's just written by people who are passionate and really care about music and its reportage.
In fact, so good are they on calling out crap, Stool Pigeon has put together a handy A-Z Guide To Music Journalism Bullshit. You know, tired old cliches that make your eyes bleed. This kind of thing:
Whiskey-soaked vocals
Which translates as:
English lit polytechnic graduate, now based in Warrington, seriously wishes he was Tom Waits
Here are some more of my favorites, all beginning with "S":
"Set the blogosphere alight" — Well done! Your innovative blend of Fleetwood Mac, nineties R&B and Sade — a singer you'd never even heard of before The xx started banging on about her — has "set the blogosphere alight" with your brand new track, featuring artfully NSFW video. That Pitchfork BNM'd is surely in the post.
Sixth-form poetry — Snarky put-down reserved for artists whose literary aspirations are perceived to be shallow or juvenile. Which might almost be fair enough, if 'music critic' wasn't a job that could only be considered cool by people under the age of about 15.
Songstress — As opposed to what, 'songster'? Reading between the lines, this faintly kinky usage is a subliminal reflection of male music hacks' rampant castration fear. See also: chanteuse.
Sophomore — Ridiculous, US collegiate term used as a stand-in for "second" when describing albums, e.g. "The Stone Roses' second album The Sophomore Coming was a let-down for many."
It's about time somebody did this, and with your help it could well become the definitive list, as Stool Pigeon are asking readers to submit their own worst music journalism cliches. I would like to add these two:
"Number 1 in an alternate universe" - made irrelevant by the theory that there are infinite alternate universes, hence any song ever recorded is number one in an alternate universe somewhere.
"Year Zero" - as applied to any and every genre from punk rock to acid house to dubstep, but surely the correct term should be "Year One"?
If you have any music journalism bullshit to add to the list (and I know you do!) you can write it on the Stool Pigeon Facebook wall, or leave it in a comment here.
You never know, you might set the blogosphere alight.

Now they don't celebrate Boxing Day in the US (think Black Friday the day after Xmas), but it seems no one told AT&T! Why else would the carrier race Walmart to the bottom and offer $99 iPhone's: 8GB refurbs (and $199 16GB refurbs as well!) according to Engadget.
Since those rumors of Walmart selling them that cheap didn't pan out (according to BGR, they'll be putting them on sale -- new -- for a couple bucks below retail on Sunday), and you still haven't gotten an iPhone (or several) of your very own, will this finally get you to take the plunge?

|How to Set BIOS Passwords on a Dell Latitude e5520m Laptop
If the security of your laptop is important to you there are two levels of protection obtainable by setting passwords on
your hp laptop. One level of password security will protect your documents from intrusion, while the second level will
protect your entire laptop from intruders. But since any password security plan is only as strong as the words
themselves, make sure you don't choose passwords that are based on real-life data that could be uncovered with
good sleuthing, like your birth date, or words that could be easily "guessed" by people who know you.
1 At boot up press F1 or F2 and enter the BIOS program.
2 Navigate to "Security". Set a difficult-to-guess but memorable password to lock the laptop completely. Record this
password somewhere secure, separate from your laptop case.
3 Click "Save and Exit" and reboot the computer. When the computer reboots you'll be asked to enter the BIOS
password before Windows will load to your desktop. There is no way the average person can defeat this BIOS
password, not even by using the well-known "Safe Mode Workaround" available in Windows XP.
4 Click on "Start" and then "Control Panel".
5 Click on the "User Accounts" icon. Enter your preferred User Name (or nickname) and enter a suitable password.
Most people make the mistake of using the same password universally; frustrate intruders by entering a password that
is different from the password you entered for the BIOS.
6 Set the administrative clearance for this account. Since you are the owner of the laptop, give yourself full
"Administrative" powers by checking that box. You, as the administrator, can also limit the powers and access of others
who may use or "visit" your hp laptop: click the "Limited Account" setting to restrict the access of other users. Click
"Save" and exit Control Panel.
7 Click "Start" and then "Restart" to reboot your laptop properly and "set" these changes. When your hp reboots you
will have to enter the BIOS password to load Windows.
8 Enter your personal account password next to open your personal Windows User Account and start using your laptop.
9 all done

Luke Bryan Reveals He Would Consider a Role on 'The Voice'
Blake Shelton has had so much success working as a coach on the reality TV singing competition 'The Voice' that plenty of other country artists have joined in the trend. Soon, Jennifer Nettles will help kick off a new one called 'Duets,' and John Rich will join in on the CW's 'The Star Next Door.' Country queens Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert have flocked to 'The Voice' as well, each making guest appearances as celebrity mentors. So who will be the next country hitmaker to make an appearance on the small screen? Turns out, it could be Luke Bryan.
With his full country vocals and an energetic and charming personality, Luke Bryan would make a great fit on a show like 'The Voice.' And he isn't ruling out the option, either — he's just waiting for the call.
In an interview with Country Weekly, the 'Drunk on You' singer admitted that he wouldn't mind the opportunity to work as a voice coach alongside Blake Shelton on the famed NBC reality show. If the right offer were to come along, Bryan says he would definitely consider it as an option.
"I never rule anything out," he said, adding, "If I had the time and the right opportunity came along, you never know. I would always put a lot of thought in it. It would probably be something I would look into. I think [music competitions] have their place and they are great at finding talent."
Maybe Bryan has his eye on 'The Voice' — and reality competitions in general — because Shelton does such a great job working with his contestants, which have since become friends and even touring buddies. After all, he gave the 'Honey Bee' hitmaker the highest praises, saying that he's a great tool for the genre.
"Blake does great, Blake's totally the right personality for that," Bryan commented. "When you look at when country music is being represented in that capacity, he's a great representative for country music."
For now, it seems like Bryan is focused on his latest No. 1 single 'I Don't Want This Night to End,' which is a multi-chart topper and doesn't seem to be losing steam just yet. But he's not ruling anything out.

The long cleanup of wastes stored at the Department of Energy's Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State may be realized, now that the parties have agreed to settle the state's 2008 lawsuit (later joined by the state of Oregon) against DOE because milestones in an earlier agreement were not being met.
"Today is a historic day for Washington state, the Pacific Northwest and the Columbia River, a lifeline for our region," Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire said. "United States Energy Department Secretary Steven Chu and I, along with United States Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell and state Attorney General Rob McKenna, announced an agreement that recommits the federal government to cleaning up America's toxic legacy at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Our agreement settles our lawsuit against the federal government and obligates it to a new, enforceable, and achievable schedule for tank waste cleanup at Hanford.
And there is more: In tandem with the settlement agreement, Washington Ecology Director Jay Manning joined the United States Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency in signing another agreement that establishes new enforceable deadlines to accelerate the cleanup of contaminated underground water plumes at Hanford. This means we're committed to intercepting these plumes before they reach the river, which serves 42 cities and towns and one million people downstream in two states."
Chu, Gregoire, and the others stood near the Waste Treatment Plant being built at Hanford on Aug. 11 to announce the proposed settlement. It sets a realistic schedule for startup of the plant and retrieving 53 million gallons of radioactive and chemical waste in 177 large, underground, single-shell storage tanks at Hanford.
DOE says the waste from the single-shell tanks will be removed and pumped to newer double-shell tanks and ultimately transferred to the plant, where it will be immobilized into a sturdy glass waste form through vitrification. Removing the waste from the single-shell tanks will take until 2040, and treatment of the wastes will be finished by 2047. "These new schedules are, in reality, aggressive but achievable," according to DOE. "With a goal of accelerating the completion dates, the proposed agreement adds a process for reviewing the final completion dates every six years. Each six-year review will determine whether the completion dates can be accelerated. At three-year intervals, a detailed system plan will be generated to evaluate options for accelerating cleanup. This 'End Date Review Process' ensures that the Hanford tank waste cleanup remains as aggressive as possible."
The Washington State Department of Ecology's page about the agreement offers details about the settlement, contamination sources at Hanford, links, and activities to date.

(shared by Jennifer Stewart, Ag Answers, Purdue University & The Ohio State University)
The lowest corn prices in recent years mean farmers are likely to store a large portion of the crop on the farm into the late spring or summer of 2014, a Purdue Extension grain handling specialist says.
Anytime growers decide to put corn into storage, and especially when they plan to store it for several months, they need to manage the grain properly to keep it from spoiling. That includes drying corn to a safer moisture level when it comes out of the field and then properly cleaning, loading, aerating and monitoring it.
"This will require adequately drying to 14 to 14.5 percent for long-term storage," Klein Ileleji said. "Think of grain in the bin as cash in the bank. Without good management, this cash can go out of condition, quickly eroding your investment."
Ileleji offered some tips for farmers to keep their grain in top shape:
* Sanitation: Growers need to remove all of the food sources and harboring spots for rodents and insects around their storage facilities. This includes cleaning up grain spills and mowing surrounding vegetation. It also means cleaning handling equipment, including augers, cleaners and dryers, at the end of each use.
* Loading: When grain is being loaded into a bin, farmers need to use loading methods that minimize broken kernels and fine material and remove foreign material. Leaving broken kernels, fines and foreign material can make stored grain more susceptible to insect infestation, mold and spoilage because it reduces initial grain quality and aeration efficiency.
According to Purdue Extension's Agricultural Safety Program, out-of-condition grain is the most frequent cause of grain entrapments and engulfment.
"Cleaning grain and coring the bin to remove fines, leveling binned grain and using appropriate drying and handling methods all reduce broken kernels and fines, and reduce the chance you will need to enter the bin when you unload the grain," Ileleji said.
* Aeration: This is the method of cooling grain with ambient air after drying it to decrease insect activity and mold development. Growers need to run bin fans to reduce grain temperature to below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and maintain cool temperatures into the late spring and summer. Using exhaust vents also will help control condensation on the inside roof and headspace walls of grain bins.
* Monitor: Farmers need to monitor their stored grain at a frequency determined by the initial grain quality, moisture content, temperature and whether there has been extreme weather. The higher the ambient temperature, the more frequently bins should be checked. In fall, spring and summer, they need to be checked every 1-2 weeks. In winter, that can be reduced to once a month.
When checking stored grain, growers with temperature cables should monitor for gradual temperature increases over time, rather than absolute temperature. If there are no temperature cables or CO2 sensors available, Ileleji said the smell of spoilage when fans are running is a good indicator that there's a problem.
"Keep detailed records with dates and what was monitored," he said. "Remember, it is the trends in data that help diagnose a problem and not the data collected at a given time."

Yeah, we know you think she's hot. Apparently even Google News thinks women dressed in presumably traditional Greek dress are the best thing it can find when it thinks of Delphi. That's a lot better than the silly Wall Street Journal story to the right of the picture, given the sorry financial state of the beleaguered auto supplier. And it's a helluva lot better than what we're hearing from the Associated Press, that the auto supplier now sees a $1.3 billion pension payment in their future. Yup, the Oracle could have really helped them with that one. Picture of Google News headline below the jump.

Don't tell Bill Hodge that you can't grow cotton in Iowa.
Like so many other naysayers, he'll gladly walk you around to the backyard of his Newton home to show you just what he's been tending to for the past five years: three bushes, planted in a row and dotted with bright, white balls of cotton.
While Hodge has cultivated everything from onions to watermelons in the plot behind his home, cotton holds a place closer to his heart —and his hometown in southeast Missouri.
"We used to raise cotton in the south, and you'd have to go through the fields and pick it by hand," said Hodge, demonstrating how to harvest the cotton without being cut by the sharp shells of the drying plant.
Hodge moved to Newton in 1963 where he worked at Maytag for 30 years, far from the cotton roots of his past. It was a souvenir boll of cotton sent to Iowa from family down south, though, that renewed his interest in the crop.
"We had a boll of cotton sitting up on the shelf from my brother in North Carolina," said Bill's wife, Elsie.
"One day, I decided to take it down and plant the seeds in a few pots and set them by the window," added Bill.
The plants soon sprouted in the winter sun, and when May rolled around, Bill moved them outside.
"We never thought anything of it until everyone started telling us that you can't grow cotton in Iowa," Elsie said with a laugh. "He's always been the type to want to prove people wrong."
Cotton is traditionally grown throughout the Cotton Belt, a region spanning the southeastern U.S. where the climate and humidity are ideal for cultivating the crop. Despite Iowa's cooler weather, Bill alleged that cotton, in essence, is a simple plant to tend to.
"All you need is hot weather and a bit of moisture and it'll grow," he said. "Just sun and water, it's that easy."
Because Bill first planted the seeds inside, he was able to mimic the longer growing season present in the southern United States and successfully foster a cotton crop.
While the Hodges' three plants only yield a modest harvest following the first frost every autumn, the handful of dried stalks laced with cotton are just enough to save for the following growing season, with plenty extra for friends who'd like to try their hands at growing a plant or two themselves.
"Everyone always wants to know what we do with it after harvest," said Elsie, "but we just keep it for the seeds, or for whenever someone wants a boll."
For Bill, it's the simple fact that he succeeded in doing exactly what so many told him he couldn't that gives him the most satisfaction.
"I don't care who you talk to," he said, "I'll prove it to anyone that you can grow cotton in Iowa."

The oldest Hosts pilgrimage in Bavaria attracts many pilgrims and takes place to the north-east of Ingolstadt . People have been worshipping St. Saviour for centuries, as attested by the countless votive candles to be found in the chancel of the impressive pilgrimage church. The oldest candle dates back to 1378. Today, the baroque church is a well-known and lively pilgrimage destination with a long tradition.
The Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, built in the late Romanesque and early Gothic styles, is one of Europe's greatest sacred monuments from the High Middle Ages. Art aficionados and many other visitors flock to the cathedral to see the famous west chancel featuring statues of its twelve founders carved by the Naumburg Master (who also created the choir screen with its relief of the Passion), the leaded windows made by Neo Rauch and many other works of art.
Built by the Zimmermann brothers in around 1745, the famous Wieskirche church in the Pfaffenwinkel area of Upper Bavaria is considered one of the finest, most famous rococo buildings in the world. Visitors delight in the skilful interplay of paintings, frescoes, carvings, stucco, light and colours found in the ornate interior of this exceptional cultural monument. more »
The basilica minor, a masterpiece of German baroque sacred architecture designed by Balthasar Neumann, was dedicated to the Fourteen Holy Helpers in the 18th century. It is situated directly on the St. James' Pilgrimage Way next to an ancient Franciscan abbey at the foot of Staffelberg hill. Every year, thousands of pilgrims flock to this place of mercy to ask the Fourteen Holy Helpers for protection.
The romantic Maria Gern Church, located in a exposed position north of Berchtesgaden , was an important pilgrimage church around 1600. Its interior is sumptuously decorated with stucco and frescoes showing a cycle from the life of the Virgin Mary. The central feature and attraction for pilgrims is the high altar (1715) with its holy image (1666), which is dressed in 24 different baroque costumes during the year to mark events in the church calendar.
The minster in the city of Ulm, on the banks of the Danube, was built in the Gothic style and its original structure remains intact to this day. Not only does it have the tallest church tower in the world (161.53 metres), but since 1530 it has also been able to accommodate 15,000 people, making it one of the largest Protestant churches in the world. Numerous world-class artworks are on display inside. Anyone wishing to ascend the tower to a height of 142m will have to climb 768 steps.
Dedicated to St. Dionysius and St. Servatius, this church in Quedlinburg on the Romanesque Route is a monument to German High Romanesque architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The world-famous treasury offers an insight into medieval history, with exhibits including the reliquaries of St. Servatius and St. Katharine, the Quedlinburg Itala, the Samuhel Gospels, the Otto Adelheid Gospels and the tombs of the first German emperor and empress.
The Cathedral of St Peter in Trier is the oldest episcopal church in Germany and bears witness to 1,700 years of western architectural, art and religious history. Situated on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela and Rome, the cathedral has always attracted pilgrims who come to visit the tombs of the former archbishops of Trier and an exquisite relic, the Holy Robe .

New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney says the Federal Reserve should "go slow" on interest rate increases because the U.S. economy is still recovering.
That's one thing the second-highest-ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee plans to say Wednesday when Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen gives her second day of monetary policy testimony. Yellen testifies before the panel at 10 a.m.
In a brief interview with MarketWatch, Maloney said she wants to know more about the Fed's policies for winding down its economic stimulus for the U.S. economy. She said she wants to know what happens between October — when the Fed plans to end quantitative easing — and the third quarter of 2015, when some economists believe the Fed will begin raising interest rates.
"What other tools are in their basket?" Maloney asked.
Yellen told senators on Wednesday that the Fed may have to raise interest rates sooner and higher than expected if the labor market keeps surprising the central bank.
— Robert Schroeder

It's a special day today. My dearest and oldest friend J. is having a birthday.
It's a birthday we weren't sure she would see. This past February J. was given 3 to 4 months to live. Although she has been struggling with cancer for several years, she seemed to be getting better. Things were going well. Then the blow.
I'm still not sure how I feel about doctors giving patients an expiration date. Because that's what it is - a kind of "best before" date. And every single day forward from the date of getting that verdict delivered, J. has to wonder if this is her last sunrise or sunset or time spent at the stable with her horse. But we're talking about people, not a jar of mayonnaise! It's a horrible thing to have hanging over her head.
I understand that there are people who may wish to get their affairs in order, or say goodbye to family or complete their bucket list. But the reality of waking up each morning, knowing that there are only x number of days left in your timeline, must be horrendous. And yes, there are miracles, there are suprises and a doctor does not know an exact date when a person's time is up. But J's been handed her expected date of demise and it makes me very angry.
J. and I met when she was 6 and I was 7. We spent our summers when we were young gathering minnows in a nearby creek, hiking for miles in the country around our homes, and spending every minute together that we could.
As teenagers we sat in my bedroom or on the front porch sharing confidences, giggling over boys and dreaming up all kinds of fanciful adventures. When I was first told that my father was dying (I was 13) I walked to J's house to cry with her and her mother.
In Grade 9 we had a crush on the same boy. He was in Grade 12 and it was unlikely that he even knew who we were but we came up with the crazy idea to invite him to a Sadie Hawkins dance at school. Do you remember those? That was the only time it was okay for a girl to ask a boy out. I have no idea why we ever thought that was a good idea but we did it. We went to the corner store where he worked and asked him to go with both of us to the dance. He accepted (such a nice guy!) and we walked home, super excited. Sadly he came down with the flu right before the dance (wink, wink) so we didn't attend but it took years before we realized that he was just such a decent person he didn't want to reject us outright.
I moved away in Grade 13 and I missed her. She went on to University and I followed one year later. We went to dances and parties together and whispered in corners, hoping that some cute boy would notice us. We discussed politics and writing and the state of the world. We took a week off and hitch-hiked to New York from Toronto. I can hardly believe that we did that but it was the 1960s and a different world.
We even shared boyfriends. She was so pretty she attracted all the good-looking guys, then when she broke up with them, they'd ask me out. So I got to go out with guys who were out of my league! I actually dated her older brother once. And I do mean "once". It was a mistake because he and I never got along, but somehow it seemed like the thing to do once I was in University.
J. was my maid of honour at my first wedding. In those days she was my mentor on clothes to buy, what spoon or fork to use at a fancy restaurant.... everything.
We ended up living quite a distance from each other. J. never married while I married and divorced, then remarried and after my second husband's death I remarried again. We kept in touch though with letters and phone calls and a few personal visits over the years. J. and her wonderful mother who I adored came to see me after my second husband passed away and that visit meant the world to me.
Our lives continued to run in different paths and I felt we had lost our connection but a few years ago we re-connected. It was a wonderful feeling for me to have J. in my life again!
So today I want to wish J. a wonderful birthday. I'll be phoning her later today to share more memories of us together as kids and remind her of some of the crazy antics we got up to. We'll do some laughing because that's what we do together.
As J. always says to me at the end of our phone calls or in her emails ... "Love yah!"

Happy birthday to J. A lifelong friend...what a gift that is.
I thought this one of the most heartfelt posts I have ever read. Not often in life do we have what is termed a "true friend." You and J. are that. My best to her this wonderful day.

Fertilizing your lawn is a good way to maintain a healthy turf. You should fertilize every year. Fertilizing your lawn helps maintain a uniform, dense, green, turf and reduces weed problems. The good effects of fertilizing can be lost if you fertilize at the wrong time. Low maintenance turf requires one application of fertilization in late October or anytime in November for most grass types.

(AP) — Police in Beaverton, Ore., say they used a stun gun seven times on an 18-year-old man accused of grabbing a sergeant's gun inside City Hall and firing a shot, but eventually more officers were needed to subdue him. Authorities say Jared Steven Leone of Seattle was high on drugs and hallucinating when he entered City Hall's police records division and started running in circles Friday. Police say Leone told a clerk he had overdosed on mushrooms. Detective Sgt. Jim Shumway said when officers approached Leone he "takes a swing" at one of them. Surveillance video shows Leone initially struggling with three officers when he allegedly grabbed Sgt. Robert Davis' gun and fired. No one was hit by the bullet, which hit a wall. The video shows other officers arriving to try to subdue Leone. Ultimately, it took nine officers to restrain him. Davis suffered a shoulder injury. KING-TV reports Leone broke a pair of metal handcuffs. "During the struggle he was tased seven times, and it didn't have any effect on him," said Shumway, the Beaverton police spokesman. Leone was arraigned Monday on charges including assaulting an officer and unlawful use of a weapon. It wasn't immediately known if he had a lawyer. "This could have been tragic, for sure," said Shumway. Comments | More in General news, The Blotter | Topics: Beaverton, Ore., stun gun

How To Test the Temperature Control
Continued from page 1
The control will be connected by two wires. Label the wire placement on the control before disconnecting the wires. The wires are connected to the switch with slip on connectors. Firmly pull the connector (do not pull on the wire) off of the control's terminal. You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect the connectors and the terminals for corrosion. If the connectors are corroded they should be replaced.
Test the control for continuity using a multitester. Set the multitester to the ohms setting X1. Place a probe on each terminal. Turn the control to warmest setting or off. The multitester should display a reading of infinity. If the control does not have an off position, the reading should be near the infinity end of the scale. Now change the control to the coldest setting and retest. The display should read roughly zero ohms. If the control does not pass both of these tests, the switch may need to be replaced.
If there is a separate refrigerator control, test it in the same way.

Solutions for pressure, temperature, force and level measurement, flow measurement, calibration and SF6 gas solutions from WIKA are an integral component of our customers' business processes.
This is why we consider ourselves to be not just suppliers of measurement components but rather more a competent partner that offers comprehensive solutions in close co-operation with our customers – customised and precisely designed products for the exact requirement.
Back to overview
For the chemical and petrochemical industries
The WIKA combination of diaphragm seal, pressure measuring instrument and monitoring instrument is ideally suited for the harshest measurement tasks. The system can withstand aggressive, contaminated or hot media and ensures a secure connection between the medium and the diaphragm monitoring system.
The patented diaphragm monitoring has been designed specifically for the highest safety requirements in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Through the diaphragm monitoring, the risk of an unnoticed rupture of the diaphragm is avoided, since this is immediately indicated on the monitoring instrument. In addition, an electrical signal can be transmitted to the system control.
In the event of a diaphragm rupture, a second diaphragm in the pressure measuring instrument ensures the reliable separation of the environment and the process.
Mounting of the diaphragm seal to the pressure measuring instrument is made as direct mounting as standard. A fluid inside the system, which is explicitly chosen to suit the particular application, hydraulically transmits the pressure to the pressure measuring instrument.
Diaphragm monitoring systems with the WIKA model 990.27 diaphragm seals are used successfully in applications with hydrofluoric acid content.

I encountered a celebrity while at a concert in Orlando. My boyfriend, Tyler Hart, and I went to see a band called Circa Survive play at a local club. During the show, my boyfriend lifted me up above the crowd and they proceeded to shove me onstage while the band was playing. I rolled over to stand up and was face to face with the lead singer, Anthony Green.
I tried to say something but I was too astonished to even utter a word. I touched his arm and then the security guard grabbed me and guided me backstage. I was definitely star-struck.

I ALSO CORRESPONDED WITH THE DESIGNER DUDLEY DIX AND HE WAS EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE COMMENTS OF THE COMMISSIONING OWNER, who is also a professional boat BUILDER, in addition to the current second owners, regarding the impressive performance of his design.
The original owner cruised with his family extensively on the Indian Ocean and the current owners have done like wise in addition to the Atlantic and the Caribbean.
Mr. Dix Comments:
a) The original 43 Dix design was an aft cockpit commissioned by an American client, who wanted a fast and sea kindly world cruising yacht and in the end he said he was very pleased.
b) This centre cockpit version of my Dix 43 was commissioned by a professional steel boat builder from South Africa built as a 44'.
He built it to cruise with his family and I know from several people over the years, that he bragged about her sailing characteristics, sea kindliness and surprising speed.

Obama's Univision interview this week was intensely interesting. It was revealing, even if it didn't reveal anything we don't already know about him. It put his obvious and deep dishonesty on display to an audience of presumed supporters to whom he was otherwise eagerly pandering. Nowhere was this truer than in his discussion of his failure to enact comprehensive immigration reform as promised in the course of the 2008 campaign. The Breitbart video below captures the heart of Obama's comments.
Looking for the video this morning, I found John Nolte's post making the points I had intended to make:
First off, Obama addresses Ramos and the audience as though they're children in need of a history lesson: Let me sit here and explain to you children how the three branches of government works. You obviously don't know this because if you did, you never would've asked such a stupid question.
Secondly, Obama's brazenly misleading here. One fact Obama and the corrupt media would love for us to forget is that for two long years Obama enjoyed blank check approval in both chambers of Congress (including a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate). But during this time, not once did Obama submit anything in the form of immigration reform, even though he most certainly could've gotten it passed. Which makes what he said about Republicans all the more outrageous[.]
Nolte quotes from the linked ABC News summary observing: "The president said that he was also taken aback by the resistance he said he received from Republican lawmakers when he reached out to them about an immigration bill, especially from those who previously supported such measures." Obama then cynically acknowledged an imaginary flaw: "I am happy to take responsibility for being naive here," he said. Thank you, Mr. President.
Nolte heatedly asks: "What in the world do Republicans have to do with anything when you own the Executive and Legislative branches of government for two freakin' years?" It is a mistake to take anything Obama says at face value. He is a torrent of misinformation, disinformation and falsehoods wrapped in arrogance and condescension.
