Since September 01, 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. From September 01, 2018 the WLTP will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC.

Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, irrespective of the testing method used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars, which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP, are concerned, the NEDC values will therefore be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period.

The Gentle Healing Technique
Bowen Therapeutic Technique (Bowen Therapy) is a dynamic system of muscle and connective tissue therapy that encourages the body to right itself. This technique involves a gentle roll over the muscle. By using a set system of these small moves from the base of the neck to the tips of the toes, the therapist stimulates the body's innate healing system to realign and re-balance.
Bowen Therapeutic Technique (Bowen Therapy) is completely safe for the newborn baby to the frail and elderly. It is gentle, fast and an effective way to treat health concerns from sporting injuries to pain, stress and discomfort. Bowen Therapy stimulates the patient's musculoskeletal system into realigning itself.
The beauty of Bowen Therapy is that it will not interfere and works well with all medication and/or dietary supplements and is gentle but powerful. A treatment takes about one hour. To contact us immediately about a Bowen Therapy session tailored specifically for you.

Lhota was a top aid to Mayor Rudy Giuliani, moving around in the administration and holding a half-dozen top-level positions. He was deputy mayor of operations on 9/11, and was instrumental in keeping services up and running as the city reeled in the wake of that tragic event.
More recently, as chairman of the MTA, he led our city's mass transit system back from Hurricane Sandy much more quickly than anyone could have expected. When it comes time to show leadership and tackle seemingly monumental tasks, he has done just that.
John Catsimatidis is an intriguing candidate. He's an interesting man, but if his mayoral administration is anything like his campaign – in other words cavalierly dysfunctional – it would not bode well for the city.
After the arrest of one of his Queens campaign organizers, who was charged in a bribery scheme to help get Malcolm Smith on the Republican primary ballot, Catsimatidis could have shown real leadership, but did not. His campaign has been negative, and his handlers have convinced him that in order to win he has to smear the other candidates.
Catsimatidis wants voters to give him a chance based on his success in the private sector, a big leap of faith. We say give Joe Lhota a chance based on his proven success in the public sector.
There are a number of good candidates running in the Democratic primary for mayor this year, but we feel that one stands out as the progressive voice that City Hall has been lacking for two decades, and that candidate is Public Advocate Bill de Blasio.
Speaker Christine Quinn has been a big Bloomberg backer – the most obvious being the role she played in pushing a term limits extension through the City Council - until there came a time when being a big Bloomberg backer was going to hurt her in the polls.
Quinn has also said that she would keep Ray Kelly as commissioner of the NYPD, but inexplicably has become an outspoken critic of stop and frisk. The question is, would Kelly even want to be commissioner in a Quinn administration? We're not sure where Quinn really stands on the issues.
Bill Thompson is the uncle everybody loves. A number of legislators we spoke with sang his praises, and in his endorsement interview with our staff he was candid and open about his vision for a safer New York. We sense that Thompson's moderate approach could work in this city, but we believe we need a mayor who is more outspoken.
While many critics have characterized his plan for universal pre-K as impossible, de Blasio convinced us he could get it done. De Blasio has a real plan to end stop and frisk, but not at the expense of good, solid police work. De Blasio also has a background in working with the homeless, and we feel that he is the best candidate to tackle that growing problem in this city.
And his recent, tireless advocacy in keeping Long Island College Hospital open is admirable.
Of all the candidates, we feel that de Blasio is best suited to tackle the overarching issues facing the city, while keeping an eye on the grassroots, quality-of-life issues that matter to our readers.

Dear all,
As a complete newbie on after effects expressions, I could need some help on expressions:
I have a timeline with a lot of layers that are switched on or off by a lot of hold keyframes.
A Null object with 30 checkboxes is the controller for the triggered layers.
This is the Expression i used for on / off:
if(thisComp.layer("LAser On Off programmieren").effect("Laser 6.4")("Checkbox") == 0) Opacity = 0
if(thisComp.layer("LAser On Off programmieren").effect("Laser 6.4")("Checkbox") == 1) Opacity = 100
Now I want to add a slider to this null where i can set a global fade in and fade out value. (Needs to be two different values for in and out)
The idea is: if checkbox (hold frame)is set to off, fade out during X Frames. If opacity is 0, do nothing.
I found a lot of fade expressions that are linked to the in and out point of a layer. But can't get it to work with the holdframes due to my lack of expression-knowledge and understanding.
Does someone has a hint where i can start solving this task
Thank you, dirk
Fade out after Hold Frame

Moldy hold: Unit no match for wetness
Some lessons are more expensive than others, as Kimberly Kelly can tell you from personal experience. She's lost, by her estimate, $23,000 in household goods.
That would be hard on anyone, but some of what she lost is irreplaceable– the baby blanket her minister's wife knitted for her son, for instance. A few weeks after he was born, the woman died.
Kelly had to discard it because, along with everything else, it had been contaminated by mold while being stored in an 18' x 10' mobile storage unit. Kelly and her husband, who are staying with her grandparents in Troy while they build a house, rented the unit in late May from Mobile Mini. The Arizona-based company processed the rental through its office in Ashland.
It was delivered on May 28 and, according to Kelly, installed on top of "old, wet, moldy leaves" beneath a stand of trees next to the house. It was also not level. Even so, the contents weathered June and July in good condition.
Over the course of one week in early August, however, everything changed. Kelly's husband went out one day to retrieve something and discovered that water had come in through the keyhole andperhaps– through small vents in the floor. There was mold, and lots of it.
The couple salvaged what they could, but that wasn't much. By Kelly's account, they did over 30 loads of laundry with bleach, but the mold was so pervasive that many things still had to be discarded. Items such as a large couch– which, as I saw for myself, was covered in mold– were a total loss.
To complicate matters, both Kelly and her husband are "severe asthmatics," and their daughter is at risk as well; Kelly reports that she had pneumonia twice last year.
At the end of August, they received a check for $5,300. While they weren't satisfied, they also agreed to accept Mobile Mini's settlement.
Katherine Callaway, the company's risk manager, claims that the settlement exceeded Mobile Mini's maximum liability, which is $2,300 for 18' x 10' units. She faxed me the Kellys' signed contract, which includes the following statement on the first page and in all caps: "Maximum contents value $2,300."
Callaway reports that she "convinced upper management" to increase the settlement to $5,300 by calculating Mobile Mini's "break-even point" if the Kellys sued– that is, what the company would pay a lawyer to defend them against a claim, even though Callaway believed that the court would uphold the terms of the contract.
Callaway, like Kelly, placed blame on the unit's location, which everyone agrees isn't level. How it ended up that way, however, is in dispute. Callaway claims that employees who delivered the unit suggested a level spot that would likely be drier, but that Kelly's grandfather, Galen Murphy– who was home alone when it arrived– rejected that and "directed [them] where to place the unit."
Murphy says that's not how it happened. He had cleared a space that would, in his opinion, have been okay, but it was rejected as inaccessible by the two men who arrived at 5pm on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend and, by Murphy's account, mainly wanted to finish the job and get back to Ashland.
"It should have been jacked up," Murphy states, so that something like "an 8-inch cinder block" could have been wedged under a back corner. Instead, he claims, the men neglected to see whether the unit was stable before they "sped away" to start their holiday weekend.
Kelly now regrets using outdoor storage for household goods and believes such units are better suited to construction equipment or outdoor furniture. Even so, she's looking at larger priorities: "Everything," she says, "happens for a reason"; they'll replace what they can, build their new home, and go on.

ForumsQuestionsSubtasks Hidden
Subtasks Hidden
Posted: Jun 04, 2013
If the only way to show a Parent w/ subtasks collapsed is to set them as "Hidden", is there a way to show the individual subtask when the setting is set to "hidden"?
i.e. I have a search view that displays PROJECTS and then another search view that displays individual starred tasks, some of which are subtasks. When I make them "hidden" to collapse the Parent, I lose the visibility of the subtask.
Toodledo Founder
Sorry, it isn't possible to have it both ways. You'll need to switch the filter depending on what list you are on.
Posted: Jun 05, 2013
Is there a search criteria that I can use to have them be visible if I star the subtask?
This is becomming a deal breaker...expanded subtask lists just become monsters!
Toodledo Founder
There is not a search criteria for this. What you will need to do is click the "show" button and then click the appropriate option under subtasks whenever you want to switch the view. It should only take a few seconds. We will look into ways of making the subtask filter sticky per search.
Hi Michael. I have been using a hybrid configuration from Proximo's setup and Chris Millward's. If I understand your issue correctly, it is solved in Proximo's setup. for instance, I have a Next Actions folder and a Projects folder (including others per GTD). My subtasks are set as inline in the search view, and they are set as indented in my folder view. If I am reviewing next actions my actions will appear in the next action search inline with the rest. If I want to review my projects then I go to the Folder view > projects folder. All of the projects are listed with the subtasks hidden. If I click on the projects icon, all of the subtasks will drop down beneath it.
Hope that helps.
Posted: Jun 05, 2013
I am using Toodledo in Chrome. When I change my subtasks to hidden (or in line), it impacts ALL the various views and searches...it is not configurable per folder or search view. Modum, how do you get that to work???
Michael I too am using Chrome. (It's my browser of choice.) From my experience, sort and filter settings are saved at each view. All searches fall under one view. I create a project folder in the folder view, and I can set sub tasks as either inline or indented. Inline to hide and indented to show. All of my sub tasks are actions, so I have a folder that contains only actions. When I create searches in the search view I search for properties in my actions folder, waiting for,etc.
Please note I view my projects during my weekly review twice a week, so I am more concerned about my actions. Therefore I do not have a search specific to Projects. If I make projects search in the search view it will filter out my actions. If I go to the projects folder, I will see a list of my projects. If I click on the relationship icon, the child actions will appear beneath my projects.
Posted: Jun 09, 2013
Hey Modum,
Thanks for getting back to me. After I posted, I discovered that I can set Folders to hidden and Views to indented. I will just have to bounce back and forth to view my lists. Thanks for all of the insight and help!

If you've got a fifth-gen Camaro, we know at some point you've dropped the hammer and lit those rear tires up in an outburst of adrenaline junky fun. Don't lie, don't look away, we know who you are. No one buys a new Camaro to just drive it like some boring, mundane conveyance that has no character. That's not you!
To make burning up those rear tires easier, especially if you've got a manual trans car, why not install a roll stop/line lock kit? These are especially useful for when you do burnouts and stage at the dragstrip, but let's face it: roll stop kits can be fun and useful on the street. Of course, we'd never endorse nor condone such illegal behavior. But we've heard it happens.
Used predominantly in drag racing, a roll stop (also referred to as line lock) holds the front brakes even when the brake pedal isn't depressed. This helps when doing a burnout to heat up and clean off the rear tires, and at the starting line while staging the car and brining the engine up while waiting for the green light. Roll stops are especially handy in manual trans cars, since the universe only gave us two feet to work three pedals.
Even better, they're super easy to install. We recently installed a TCI Camaro Roll Stop kit (part no. 861735) in a 2010 Camaro SS, and including our trip to the parts store to grab a couple of things, it only took us an hour and half to install on the six-speed manual car. The kit retails for about $165, so it's budget friendly too.
Follow along and we'll show you how easy it is to add this simple mod to your fifth-gen.

the medically specific terminology and scientific details were taken in large part from NAM and Aidsmap, an excellent source and knowledge, science and support.
A novel vaccine has been shown to completely block rectal infection of SIV, the monkey equivalent of HIV, in rhesus Macaques. The same vaccine was also shown to produce rapid re-suppression of viral load ( the level of HIV in the blood) in monkeys who were previously infected with SIV. The vaccine program is a collaboration between scientists at the French Institute for Research into Cancer and HIV Vaccines at Paris-Descartes University and ones at the Chinese Tropical Medicine Institute at the University of Chinese Medicine in Guangzhou.
Following the study's outstanding success in primates two initial safety trials are now planned in humans. According to aidsmap.com: in one trial, HIV-negative volunteers at low risk of HIV will be given the vaccine to see if it stimulates the same immune- and virus-suppressant responses. In the other trial, HIV-positive volunteers on fully-suppressive antiviral therapy will be given the vaccine and then taken off six months later if test tube results suggest the vaccine has produced such responses.
The vaccine consisted of inactivated SIV administered alongside doses of familiar bacteria – in the first case the TB-suppressant bacterium BCG, and subsequently with gut bacteria of the Lactobacillusgenus, including one type commonly used in probiotic supplements. This suggests that if human studies replicate the success seen in monkeys (by no means assured in vaccine studies) the vaccine could be administered in a drink.
How does it work:
The researchers designed the vaccine according to a long-held hypothesis that conventional vaccines ( that rely on stimulating an immune response to a microbe in advance of exposure to it) could not work in preventing the spread of HIV, as this virus uses the very cells that proliferate in an immune response – primarily CD4 T-cells – as the ones it chooses to reproduce in. Therefore with an HIV vaccine the challenge for researchers would therefore be to induce the body to recognize HIV but not to mount a proliferative response to it. This could work if the body is induced to respond to HIV as if it was harmless – to induce so-called 'immune tolerance' to it.

Along with all of the other explanations floated so far about how the state managed to get itself into such a financial mess, we can add a new one. Maybe no one could figure out the state's books.
Along with all of the other explanations floated so far about how the state managed to get itself into such a financial mess, we can add a new one. Maybe no one could figure out the state's books.
Auditor General WILLIAM HOLLAND issued an audit last week that examined how the state keeps track of its money. It's sort of a trick question, because Illinois' financial reporting systems are so convoluted it's a miracle anyone can figure out what's going on.
The audit found that state agencies have 263 different financial systems in use. Actually, it's more than that because two state agencies didn't respond when auditors asked for information.
Most of them can't connect to each other, so when information has to be shared, a human has to do it manually. Just a handful of agencies provided information about the cost of doing that. The tab is more than $11 million.
This is the stuff the state uses to keep track of billions of dollars spread over more than 900 separate funds, a ridiculously high number.
It could be fixed, but that will cost money. Do you think there will be a stampede of lawmakers calling for the state to spend money on an accounting system? Unlikely.
nNow there's another group of out-of-state Democratic lawmakers hiding out in Illinois.
This time it's Democrats from Indiana, fleeing the state that is supposed to be Shangri-La for Illinoisans aching to leave this state's oppressiveness.
Like their Democratic counterparts from Wisconsin, the Indiana Democrats are staying in Illinois to block a vote on legislation they detest.
Well, the more the merrier. There should be plenty of room for any disgruntled Democrats. In fact, Illinois officials are working on a new plaque for the statue in the Capitol rotunda, the one of the woman with open arms that's called "Illinois Welcoming the World." The plaque will say, "Give me you tired, your poor, your Democratic lawmakers yearning to block votes."
Should make them feel welcome.
*As you may know, Illinois lawmakers are among the best paid in the country, even though legislating here is officially a part-time job. Wonder if the new arrivals would be willing to do the job for less?
*Rep. MIKE TRYON, R-Crystal Lake, said last week that the visiting lawmakers' income should be taxed while they're in Illinois, just like the state taxes the income of temporary workers such as visiting athletes when they play games here. He specifically cited the Green Bay Packers, the Wisconsin team that thumped the Illinois team to get into the Super Bowl.
OK. Dunno, but maybe the out-of-state lawmakers will actually enjoy paying taxes here, since our rates are lower. The problem is Illinois has a reciprocal agreement with Wisconsin over wages earned by people crossing state lines to work. Bottom line is the state doesn't tax the Packers' salaries, and Tryon's proposal would have no effect on Wisconsin lawmakers.
Guess we'll have to stick it to the Hoosiers.
*With public employee unions and public employees generally under attack nowadays, this is exactly what they don't need.
In southern Illinois' Franklin County, MARY ANN ADAMS worked for the regional office of education. She decided she wanted a raise. She went to the then-Franklin Williamson regional superintendent, BARRY KOHL, who agreed to the raise with the stipulation that Adams kick back half of it to him each month. The raise came in two paychecks in addition to Adams' regular paycheck. She'd cash one of the two pay raise checks and give the proceeds to Kohl. This went on for several years before she retired.
Three years later, an auditor employed by the Teachers' Retirement System uncovered the deal. TRS said money involved in an illegal kick-back scheme doesn't count as salary for retirement benefits. Adams said she earned the money and should get a pension on it. She fought TRS's ruling. She lost an administrative review, in circuit court and most recently in an appeals court. All said she can't collect taxpayer-funded pension benefits for salary that was part of a kickback scheme. That will cost her $15,000 a year in pension benefits. She'll still get about $50,000.
Kohl, by the way, went to prison after pleading guilty to theft and official misconduct. Adams testified against him.

The Momentum headphones represent a modern take on tried and true design principles. These closed-back headphones are as accurate as they come, with great extension that paints a realistic picture with any genre. With a frequency response of 16-22khz, no audible frequency band is left untouched.
Stylistically, the Momentums are sharp and clean. They feature a nicely stitched leather cup and headband, and a solid steel slider for adjustment. The cups are as comfortable as any you'll find, which makes them easy for longer listening sessions.

Love the thought of winning a pair of these!
definitely want these headphone since I only one headphone (AKG K518) in my collection. I'm curious bout Sennheiser's sound signature which is most people praise of.
These would start my momentum in full size headphones!
Thank You for starting the giveaway. :)
I own 4 pair of Sennheisers , I love em' and I'm planning to own the HD800s and the RS220s .
The headphone meets have the Grado people , I say that I'm a Sennheiser Man .
The Company supports their products , no matter how old they are .
I'm also anxious to hear their Active Studio Monitors ( Neumann ) I may own these too .
Tony in Michigan
I never won anything but hope gonna win this one.
I've had my eye out for a good pair of portables. These would, needless to say, definitely fit the bill.
I can always use another pair of headphones.
The Sennheiser Momentum Over Ear is one of the best closed headphone that deliver excellent sound straight from mobile devices, I had one and never hoping getting another one!!! To me, I dont think these guys are bass heavy at all, they just deliver right amout of bass at right moment; the mid is extremely sweet and the high is very pleasing to my ears (although a little bit lacking, but it makes listening to them very relaxing)
One lucky person is going to have a sweet Christmas. Hope it's me.
Amazing sound with beautiful design!
Please let me win this. I promise to be good & only listen to high quality recordings.
To get caught up in the moment...ummmmm.
I've always liked the looks of these; I'm in.
I've been checking these out for awhile. I hope they sound as good as they look.
Another pair of good headphones always come in handy.
I have not found any headphone sound signature that makes me as happy as the Sennheiser sound. The Momentum headphones would be the perfect portable complement to my HD600's I like so much.
Eligibility: "resident of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia"
anyone else think they look like the Pro 4/AA?
I would love to try these headphones out!
'Tis the season to upgrade my cans please.
'Tis the season to upgrade my cans please.
I could use a nice set of closed cans to supplement all my open sets.
Got this lurker to register!
Another Senn to add to my rotation!
I'll give them to a hungry orphan who's never head the bliss of music.
Those Sennheisers look su-weet! Fingers are crossed.
Heard these a while back. Really wanted a pair but they haven't been in my budget :p
Innerfidelity comes up with another sweeeeet contest!
Thanks gang! fingers crossed!
Always happy to add new headphones to the collection. Thank you!
One of my first headphones was the HD424 way back in the 70's. Sennheiser is a company you can trust.
I could use a new pair of sealed headphones.
I don't use headphones all that much, but with these, that's likely to change.
Or have too many headphones
Sure, why not? The Momentum has at times piqued my interest, and who would say no to a free one?
"2. Eligibility: Entrant must be 18 years of age or older as of December 2, 2014, 2014 and a resident of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia."
No love for us Canadian audiophiles? :<
i have a spot under my tree for these!
I'll take Karen Valentine for the win, Peter.
Always enjoyed the sennheiser house sound. Thanks for the contest!
How do you make a monkey smile? Give him a set of momentums!
I'm the most random person I know.
Yup, still want to try these.
...at Best Buy down the road; loved them but couldn't afford them. I'm in.
It doth take but a moment um but you may win sum
Bring me some new cans for Xmas. I've been good, I swear!
Would like to have one.
and i would love to win these sennheiser momentums
Count me in and thanks for the giveaway
All the time. Count me in!
Fingers crossed to win these!
Was thinking of getting a pair of Amperiors, but this came along.
(Crossed Fingers!)
to add to my portable collection, I hope.
Sign me up, I have been waiting for a giveaway like this. I haven't been able to get my hands on a pair of Momentums yet.
Searching for a sealed pair of cans that enjoy traveling, curling up by the turntable, and... long walks on the beach. Sorry, had to do it.
Would love to win them! Have not heard any Sennheiser model aside from the HD201 years ago.
These cans look - and sound - sweet!
Thank you for the opportunity!
Just got some new ATH-M50x headphones, but some Sennheisers added to the collection wouldn't hurt. Sign me up!
I can't wait to win these. I love sennheiser!!!
I love to win for my daughter in her first year in college
... I need new headphones.
Good luck everyone!
I've been thinking about these for a bit now. It would be cool to be able to get them
Have heard a lot of good things about these headphones
I have the over ear Sennheiser Momentums and they are nice
I'm going to visit the temporary store in San Fransisco and will be happy to pick up my new 'phones there!
Third times a charm. I've always wanted sennheisers
Yes I already have one... but if I have 2 ears on the same head, why not 2 of the same can?
I keep telling my niece and nephew how Sennheisers are superior to Beats, and while they aren't curious about HD-800s, they are still growing increasing curious about Sennheiser. :) Regardless, I love Sennheiser, and thank them every day for their glorious flagships.
I've wanted to try a pair of these for a while, but they're behind the cheaper on-ear one, the HD-25II, and the Fidelio X2 on my list.
A nice little stocking stuffer!
Why hello there good looking
Always been a Sennheiser fan. Would love to have one of these.
I hope I'm the lucky one!
Lets try to hunt one of those for wife:)

Remember 2007? That was before cloud computing became a thing and Microsoft was convinced that every home would have a big computer holding all of our movies, photos and songs.
Microsoft even published a children's book on the topic: "Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?" about – we kid you not — a "stay-at home" computer server.
The book is funny but its reviews are even funnier. For instance, Amazon reviewer Boomzilla wrote:
My kids loved this book so much that they insisted that I buy them others in the same series including "Rover the dog says "SYN/ACK!", "How to be the Best at Firewall Configuration (The Boy's Book)", "Big, Bad Bill And The Blue Screen of Death" and their all time favorite "Everybody Poops".
It made us wonder, what other geeky comedic gems are scattered around the Amazon website. Turns out, quite a few. Honestly, you can't make this stuff up. Or maybe you can. Take a look.
Hacked USB Flash Drive
Manufacturer promises: "YOU WILL BE THE ENVY OF ALL COMPUTER GEEKS!"
Amazon reviewer "Kort" writes:
When I first saw this product I thought to myself, "Hey, what a neat idea!" I've used the hacked USB cord trick for some time now and I've yet to be mugged while sipping down Double Mocha Latés at Starbucks. I find it works really well when used in conjunction with wearing Crazy Black Red Streak Clubbing Wig and sitting next to Psycho Sam. I can use free wireless all day long and not even the coffee shop employees will bother me.p://www.amazon.com/dp/B004H38YZY/ref=azfs_379213722_Wheelmate_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-5&pf_rd_r=196HBH25KA45TP8HG29P&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=1608755502&pf_rd_i=1001250201">AutoExec Wheelmate Steering Wheel Attachable Work Surface Tray
Manufacturer promises that it will make your car's steering wheel: "one of the most ergonomic work spaces available."
From a section labeled "Customer Questions & Answers":
Q: What's the average number of fatalties [sic] per user? Just an estimate is fine.
A: For every user, there is least one death apporximately [sic].
Amazon reviewer "George Takei" (yes, of "Star Trek" fame) writes:
My husband Brad always warns me not to try and update my Facebook page while I'm driving. "You'll hit another pedestrian," he says. "This isn't the Enterprise, there isn't a deflector array." Then along comes a miracle product like this! I can now happily fly at warp speed down the streets of Los Angeles, laptop or mobile device perched right in front of me, so I can keep both eyes right on it AND on the road. It's so much easier to ignore all the frightened screams and annoying honking when you've got Facebook to look at while driving. Thank you, Wheelmate!
Reviewer John Meinken writes:
I'm ddriving home now. It's OK Iguess, but the bumpy road majkes it hard to type. And theree's a lot of pedeestrians and traffi c that keep distracti9ng me fromm my computer.
3M Performance Plus Nuclear Duct Tape, Slate Blue
Amazon reviewer honeybearsf writes:
When we found cracks in the containment structure, we used to have to shut the whole plant down; then there was a lot of hassle with the nuclear regulatory agency about structural integrity and environmental contamination. With this quality duct tape, that's all in the past. Now, when we see a cracked or crumbling wall, we just bring out the tape. The slate blue blends right in. I do recommend that you use use double layers for openings near the reactor core.
Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable
From a section labeled "Customer Questions & Answers":
Q: Has anyone else tried using this cable to join their fish poacher to their bread machine?
A: I tried to use this to learn piano and accidentally resurrected Beethoven from the grave! Luckily this cable sent the zombie further into the future to delay the apocalypse.
Amazon reviewer M McKinley writes:
A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews.
Reviewer George Takei writes:
The minute I plugged this cable in, I knew something was amiss. The first evidence? The small wormhole that appeared in our living room, right next to our holstein cowhide recliner. Peering into it I could discern the snarling face of a Ferengi, likely somewhere out in the Gamma quadrant.
Then things got really hairy. Brad shouted from the kitchen that he was detecting elevated tachyon levels from our Vita-Mix, so we immediately diverted power to our forward Romco Rotisserie array. Set it and forget it, indeed.
Still no go. The wormhole continued to grow. So I did what anyone in this rather awkward situation would. I recalibrated our George Foreman Grill (about 10 picometers), ejected the warp core from our Dyson Ball Vac, and unplugged all the Magic Jacks in the house. Bingo. No more worm hole.
I guess what I'm saying is that you can use this cable, but only if you have substantial Star Fleet training.
(If you don't understand that review, here's a link to the official "Star Trek" Database to help you decode it.)
Honeywell Ademco 944WH-M Magnet Only for 944WH
Amazon reviewer TechnoLady writes:
DO NOT Use This On the 944WG !
When they say "Only for 944WH" they really mean it! I bought it 13 years and a week ago (no 'Prime', Amazon- seriously!?) and tried to use it on my 944WG and accidentally created a magnetic time vortex that sucked me back into the year 2000. Unfortunately, while there, I sat on a butterfly and six months later Bush instead of Kerry is President, we're in a war with Iraq and half the country is unemployed. My bad.
So only two stars really because of time vortex but I'm giving it an additional star because of the killing I made on Apple.
Reviewer Beverly writes:
I love my 944WH-M Magnet. I enjoy messing with the smaller jet craft overhead, and pulling my neighbor who has a steel plate in his head, off course on his way to the mailbox. Great fun!

Mountain lion fever has some in Conn. calling for answers
Only in print: Sightings in Greenwich and around state fuel residents' search for answers about mountain lions
When a possible mountain lion sighting in Greenwich was reported in early June of last year, many in town took the news with trepidation.
Peter Alexander was excited.
"I think it's fabulous that mountain lions would return here," the Pemberwick resident said.
Alexander lives along the Byram River, whose watershed provides a natural superhighway for wildlife that has slowed in recent decades, he said. Alexander wants to see that traffic rev up once again, and one of the creatures he'd like to see make the trip more often is the mountain lion.
Not only does Alexander believe mountain lions are present in New England, he wants to see them re-established in the state.
"I would encourage the concept of bringing back more species, including mountain lions and wolves," he said. "They do get bad press, including eating children sometimes, which is pretty bad. I am not trying to downplay the tragedy, but they are part of the natural environment."
Continued reports of mountain lion sightings across the state have sparked massive interest in the animals, long thought to be extinct in New England. A dedicated group of big-cat enthusiasts is pushing for the state's legislators to investigate the reports.
Alexander is one of hundreds of people to have signed an online petition asking the state legislature to hold a public hearing on mountain lions -- also known as cougars -- in Connecticut following a 2011 filled with reported sightings in the state, including one in which a mountain lion was seen stalking the grounds of Brunswick School's King Street campus last June.
Some of the signers, like Alexander, welcome the presence of the animals, while others dread the stealthy predators' place among us.
Debate continues to rage between state officials, who maintain that there are no native-bred mountain lions in Connecticut, and those who claim the opposite, pointing to numerous sightings over many years.
Bo Ottmann, a Canton resident and founder of Cougars of the Valley, a group dedicated to tracking mountain lion sightings, is a true believer.
"People need to be aware we have a top predator living amongst us," Ottmann said. "Mountain lions are being habituated. They are feeling comfortable living in our communities."
As of this week, 220 people had signed the petition on the Cougars of the Valley website, ctmountainlion.org. Some signatures include reports of sightings. Others offer opinions on the pros and cons of mountain lions in the state.
The website includes a map of the state showing dozens of reported sightings, from the Gold Coast to the Quiet Corner in the northeast. And that doesn't count the hundreds of mountain lion reports the state receives every year.
State officials believe the mountain lion seen in Greenwich on June 5 is the same one that was struck and killed on Route 15 in Milford on June 11. Following tests on the dead mountain lion, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said the animal likely originated from South Dakota.
Ottmann is skeptical that the mountain lion made the voyage from the upper Midwest to the East Coast.
"Did it come directly from South Dakota? We will never know," Ottmann said. "Its bloodline came from South Dakota, that's all I know."
Ottmann is confident mountain lions are breeding in New England, possibly through a mixture of western mountain lions and a native eastern population that somehow survived even after they were declared extinct.
Alexander said he could see that scenario, or simply that mountain lions are traveling through the area after making their way from Canada or the Midwest. Either way he's thrilled about the prospect.
"The fact that we may have a population and may have always had a population, I am totally pumped up about that," he said.
State officials counter that there is no native mountain lion population.
"We have not seen any credible evidence to back up reports of mountain lions," said DEEP spokesman Dennis Schain, referring to reported sightings other than the one in Greenwich.
Ottmann said the department is too quick to dismiss the reports.
"Every time a person calls them, they are being told they are not seeing what they are seeing," he said.
The author of a book on mountain lions admits there may be a breeding population of cougars in this part of the continent, but said they would be in isolated areas of northern Maine, or in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec. Robert Tougias, whose book "The Quest for the Eastern Cougar" was published last September, said there is no evidence to support any breeding population in Connecticut and southern New England, even if it seems plausible.
"Some people just flat out believe there is an established cougar population living in southern New England and wildlife officials are covering it up and don't want to acknowledge it," Tougias said. "It kind of makes sense, but when you look into it, it kind of doesn't hold up too well."
Tougias, who lives in Colchester, said he first became intrigued by mountain lions while growing up in Massachusetts. That interest was heightened when, while living in Vermont, he discovered large paw prints near his cabin that he believed could have been made by mountain lions.
While he discounts a native population in southern New England, Tougias believes there could be some breeding occurring between either escaped or released mountain lions of South American origin and those that have traveled here from the Midwest.
DNA recovered from mountain lion hair snares in eastern Canada has shown the animals are genetically linked to western or South American mountain lions, he said. The South American creatures have either been released or escaped into the wild, Tougias said.
Any male mountain lions passing through Connecticut are looking to find a mate and establish a territory, Tougias said. Such animals are usually from the South Dakota area, he said.
A burgeoning population in the Midwest is forcing males to move farther away from their original regions, Tougias said. But while the males will travel great distances, females don't, leaving the lovelorn male mountain lion searching farther and farther afield.
Tougias was surprised when the mountain lion appeared in Connecticut last year. He and others in the mountain lion field believed they would eventually make their way to the East Coast, but not so quickly.
He, like Alexander, supports the idea of reintroducing mountain lions, in part to act as a brake on the increasing population of deer, which mountain lions hunt.
Ottmann is opposed, contending that a few mountain lions would have little impact on the deer population. There is also the concern about public safety.
Reported sightings often spike after initial news reports when people who see something unusual believe it is a mountain lion, Tougias said.
"The animal is automatically going to be assumed to be the most wild and the most rare and what they have read about, and that is the cougar," he said.
The four members of Greenwich's state delegation have mixed feelings about the idea of a committee hearing on mountain lions.
"I don't think there is enough evidence of mountain lions that demands the need for a hearing," Rep. Lile Gibbons, R-150th District, said.
Sen. L. Scott Frantz, R-36th District, is also cool to the idea of legislative hearings.
"I think to jump right in and have a hearing may be an inefficient use of our time," he said. "What would be the point of the hearing? We can't legislate the cats out of the state."
Cougars of the Valley members could meet with co-chairs of the public safety committee to present their evidence, Frantz said. He also suggested that DEEP could write a short report on the topic to be made available to the public and to legislators.
Rep. Livvy Floren, R-149th District, said that holding a committee hearing is expensive and time consuming.
"I would have to see if it is a cost-effective measure," she said.
The issue of mountain lions is best left to the professionals in DEEP, Floren said.
The most receptive of the group is Rep. Alfred Camillo, R-151st District, who said he is open to a committee hearing on the matter.
"I would certainly keep an open mind to it because I am fascinated by it," said Camillo, who doubts that a hearing would occur anytime soon.
"I think as far as having hearings right now, if I am the only legislator who is interested in it, that answers your question," he said with a laugh. "But I think there is something out there."
Schain said DEEP would be open to a legislative hearing.
"We welcome full discussion of the subject of mountain lions, whether or not they are present in Connecticut," he said.
Following the June 5 sighting in Greenwich and another reported sighting on June 12 on North Street, Audubon Greenwich closed its sanctuary as a precaution. No evidence, such as droppings called scat, or photographs established whether a mountain lion had been on John Street, authorities said.
Audubon Greenwich spokesman Jeff Cordulack said there is little talk about mountain lions by visitors who stop in at the center.
"It has largely been forgotten, but every so often we are asked if we have seen any more mountain lions," he said.
Ottmann, who operates a landscaping business, said he became interested in mountain lions after hearing a talk four years ago by William Betty, a Rhode Island resident who researches mountain lion sightings.
Now the two mountain lion enthusiasts team up for lectures. They will speak at Audubon Greenwich on March 24.
Ottman said his mountain lion quest is exciting.
"It's the chase," he said. "It is kind of like gold fever. It's a lot of fun."

Tyler Meyers, manager of the Knockdown Center at 52-19 Flushing Ave., said while the show is not confirmed yet with the two-time Grammy-nominated artist, the Knockdown Center is planning a series of summer concerts and art events.
"It is not confirmed yet to my knowledge, but that would be one of a variety of events that would happen at that time," Meyers said, adding that there are also plans in the works for a performance by dancer Lindsey Drury, choreographer Michou Szabo and sculptor Joel Shapiro.
Following news of a 5,000-person assembly application filed by the owners of Knockdown Center, Community Board 5 unanimously voted to approve a letter in opposition,
However, Meyers clarified that, "we do not have an assembly permit, but we do have a construction permit saying yes, if you would like to do it this way, then it is appropriate."
CB5 district manager Gary Giordano said the last he heard was the public assembly permit was denied.
"I was told Friday that their public assembly request for a 5,000-person permit was denied," said Community Board 5 district manager Gary Giordano. "I haven't checked that, but that's what I was told."
In addition to the assembly permit, owners of the center have also been awaiting the approval of a 600-person liquor license with the State Liquor Authority.
"The question becomes, depending on how many people they're selling tickets to, is what is a safe occupancy there?" Giordano said after learning about the rumored show. "They can do a certain number of events a year and I think the number is four."
Giordano added that the neighborhood would be in for a shock with a music icon like MIA, adding, "I don't think they've done anything as big as what this could be."
