I hate making mistakes. I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the silver chest, but I see myself as someone who cares so much and works so hard that errors don't have a chance to slip by me.
Until they do.
I had a slip-up/snafu/should-have-caught-that-darn-it issue arise this morning. And after I finished kicking myself, I remembered what a colleague said to me many years ago.
As he and I waited for the elevator to head home, he took one look at my sad face (I am a lousy poker player) and asked me what was troubling me. I told him I was angry at myself for a mistake I'd made that day.
He replied, "The only people who don't make mistakes are people who never do anything."
I'm still not brave enough or mature enough or evolved enough to see failures as paths to growth. But I am proud that I'm out there swinging.

Seiler Instrument announces the release of two new microscopes, the Seiler Evolution xR6 and the Seiler IQ, for the medical industry. Both offer live video and digital camera options.
The Seiler Evolution xR6 is a redesigned, six-step microscope that comes equipped with the new 50-watt Metal Halide bulb, the brightest standard light source in the market with a bulb life of more than 1,500 hours, and a halogen backup for uninterrupted operation.
The Seiler iQ uses the same light source as the Evolution, but it comes in a smaller package with three steps of magnification and a new, compact design that allows it to function in any environment, regardless of size constraints.
Both models have floor, wall, high-wall, ceiling, and table mounts.

Is semantic technology one of those terms that makes your eyes glaze over? Or maybe decide it's a great time to reach for your smart phone to check messages?
It's OK. It's one of those concepts that can be difficult to grasp, involving as it does "the Internet of things," machine-to-machine formats, ontologies and so forth. But Dennis Wisnosky, chief technical officer with the Defense Department's Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer and his team can help.
They've put an explanation of semantic technology into a concise, understandable video, which Wisnosky included in a talk at 1105 Media's Enterprise Architecture conference in Vienna, Va., Nov. 7. The video, also posted on YouTube, even shows that you can make good use of PowerPoint slides. Check it out below.

I'm sure Mr.Wisnosky means well, but this video is worse than a bad joke.
It does help to explain, however, why Secretary Gates decided to shut down the Business Transformation Agency.

Here's What a UFC Magic the Gathering Set Looks Like
You didn't hear about Dana White's latest announcement: An MMA-related Magic the Gathering set?
Well,there's a reason you didn't hear about it: It didn't happen. Thankfully, one of our favorite past times is figuring out what products should needlessly be merged with our MMA obsession. A few days ago, we arrived at Magic the Gathering (MTG for short). We played the addictive card game back in high school. We wondered what a set of MTG that spans the entire MMA world might look like. The below cards–featuring the likes of Dana White, Conor McGregor, Greg Jackson, as well as several "MMA memes"–are the result of our mental meandering.
A few notes: We haven't played Magic in about 10 years so some of the gameplay semantics might not be totally accurate. Also, some of the abilities are for the purposes of chiding MMA as only irreverent CagePotato can. All real photos in the cards come from Getty Images, save for the photo of "Minowaman" Ikuhisa Minowa, which comes from Sherdog. Another card's image comes from a YouTube screen capture (you'll know which one).
With that, here are the cards. We hope you enjoy them:Read More DIGG THIS

Hey All
I guess I'm top speculator on Parson being a Signamancer. I've also contributed as much as I can to all the Hippiemancer discpline speculation, Flower Power, Signamancy, and Date-a-Mancy. Mostly because I just think they so bleep'n cool, but also from the input I've received, I seem to be finding un-before-mined-threads of logic that appears to flesh them out based on what we've seen so far.
Parson the Signamancer Essay
Hey there. First off, welcome to the Wiki. :) I noticed you've done a lot of editing to the Signamancer and Parson Gotti articles, to explain the argument for Parson being a Signamancer. Most of that is really good stuff, but I wanted to let you know that I edited the "there appears to be far more evidence that this is true" part, and explain a bit why I did it. Yes, it's a pretty good argument, but phrasing it that way implies that there's consensus about Parson being a Signamancer among those who speculate, which (as of yet) is not the case - it's still a topic widely debated on the forum. I kept the link - that there's evidence outside of Janis's word and wispy thematic elements - but rephrased it to be mentioned as the most significant of several instead of being explicitly called "far more" than other arguments.
Also, incidentally, I'm wondering whether it might be good to have the Signamancy page link to the speculation on Parson rather than duplicating it, to save maintenance effort (it's hard to keep two copies of the same argument identical as edits trickle in over time). Speculations on what Signamancy is and what it means in the context of this theory are definitely a good idea - and should stay on the page - but talk about Parson in particular is probably best left in his own article.
I didn't make any edits on this second idea, though, and both of these are just my own opinion; I'll step back if you want to change things back to how they were, or keep them as they are. And in any case, I hope this hasn't been overintimidating for you - I just wanted to put my two cents in the pot. :) —Menlo Marseilles 12:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
--All good suggestions. Didn't mean to imply anything besides there "appears to be far more evidence that it is true" and appreciate you removing the perceived consensus. I went ahead and added the link to the Signmancy page. Ooo, but now I reread and see you were thinking the opposite. I left it on Parson page because its really speculation about Parson and his behavior rather than speculation on Signamancy. For example, if Parson didn't exist, none of this write would have any evidence. If Signmancy didn't exist, parson would still be exhibiting all these same aspects. Hope that makes sense.
- Makes perfect sense. I added some of the stuff back into Signamancy that we know regardless of the Parson-related speculation, but other than that things look good. Menlo Marseilles 20:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ruben Amaro Jr. was rather upbeat Monday less than an hour after another outfield target, Angel Pagan, was scooped off the market.
"We move on," Amaro said.
The Phillies GM said he still prefers to sign a centerfielder rather than trade for one. The pool has shrunk to Michael Bourn and Shane Victorino. Dexter Fowler is a trade candidate, and as FOXSports.com reported, the Rockies are looking for young pitching. That is a strength of the organization.
But Amaro was not overly concerned about failing to sign Pagan or B.J. Upton.
"We didn't really have a Plan A," Amaro said. "We had like 10 Plan B's because, to be frank with you, I just didn't think that the marketplace was all that strong in the beginning. There was not a comparable to [Jonathan] Papelbon out there. There really wasn't. There were some good players out there, and there still are some good players out there, but I don't know there's a difference maker. Maybe one."
Amaro smirked. He was talking about Josh Hamilton, the former MVP slugger, without mentioning him by name.
Are the Phillies in on said "difference maker?"
"Come on," Amaro said. "Next question."
The exchange was telling.
When asked if he had met with Hamilton, who is believed to be in the Nashville area this week, Amaro said, "No. But I wouldn't tell you if I did." When asked if he had met with Hamilton's agent, Michael Moye, Amaro said, "No. But I wouldn't tell you if I did."
Hamilton is believed to be seeking at least a five-year deal. His former team, the Texas Rangers, expect a final shot at Hamilton even if he goes shopping elsewhere.
The 31-year-old outfielder carries great risk, of course. His history of drug and alcohol abuse is long documented. ESPN.com reported the Phillies are "wary" of said problems.
But chatter at these winter meetings has pegged the Phillies as possible suitors because of Amaro's willingness (and necessity) to make a splash. Moye, about as private as player agents come, would make for a perfect quiet negotiating partner.
An idea that was ridiculous a month ago is less as such while other options sign elsewhere.
Have a question? Send it to Matt Gelb's Mailbag.

Trainer Workouts Using Segments
I use a segmented approach to indoor cycling workouts. Here's how it works:
Remember that these segments are samples; and I've provided a lot to choose from. Each workout suggests several variations, and variety is the key to enjoying (not just surviving) your time on the trainer. I have also included guidelines for those using perceived exertion ("hard," "easy," etc.) to gauge effort, and for those familiar with heart-rate exertion levels. Use the one you prefer. (It's a good idea to purchase a heart-rate monitor if you are training seriously.)
TIP! Gear suggestions are expressed as, for example 39x19. This means a 39-tooth chainring (a size found on many bikes) combined with a 19-tooth cog.
Trainer workouts are limited only by your imagination. In fact, it's possible to train indoors 3 times per week for several months and never duplicate a workout. Make it your goal never to do the same one twice. Be creative!
The Workout Segment: Warm Up and Cool Down
|Warm up (15 minutes). Start in a low gear of about 39x19, depending on the resistance of your trainer. Spin easily at about 70 revolutions per minute. Monitor your rpm by counting every time your right foot comes around during 30 seconds and multiply by 2. Each minute, increase cadence by several rpm. After 5 minutes, increase the gear. At the end of 15 minutes, you should be sweating lightly and your heart rate should be about 80 percent of max. Finish the warm-up with several 10-second sprints in a large gear.
|Cool down (10 minutes). When the main workout is complete, decrease cadence and gearing on 1-minute intervals until you're spinning an easy gear at about 70 rpm. Then get off.
The Workout Segment: Leg Speed (1)
|Spin-ups (20 minutes)
|In a low gear (39x19), spin at 70 rpm for 60 seconds.
|Each minute, increase cadence by 5 rpm. You'll know when cadence gets too fast to sustain for 60 seconds because your butt will bounce on the saddle.
|When you start bouncing, reduce cadence by 5 rpm every minute to the end of the 20-minute segment.
The Workout Segment: Leg Speed (2)
|Stand and sprint (20 minutes)
|In a moderate gear (53x19), stand and sprint at about 100 rpm for 15 seconds.
|Sit and spin the same gear gently for 45 seconds.
|Repeat steps 1 & 2 four times.
|In a fairly large gear (53x17), stand and sprint hard for 10 seconds.
|Sit down, shift to a fairly low gear (39x17) and spin easily for 50 seconds.
|Repeat steps 4 and 5 nine times.
The Workout Segment: Leg Speed (3)
|One-leg speed (20 minutes) Note: One-Leg Pedaling is explained below.
|In a low gear (39x19), spin at 90 rpm for 15 seconds. Then pedal slowly for 45 seconds.
|Repeat 4 more times, but increase your cadence during the first 15 seconds by 5 rpm each time.
|Unclip your left foot. In a low gear (39x21), spin with your right leg for 60 seconds at about 100 rpm.
|Do the same with the left leg.
|Repeat steps 3 and 4 four times.
|Using both feet, repeat steps 1 and 2.
The Workout Segment: One-leg training
|Warm up on the trainer for 20 minutes by pedaling with both legs.
|Unclip your left foot from the pedal. Hook it back over the trainer just to the left of where it connects to the rear hub (photo). Or, rest it on a chair or stool just outside the left pedal circle.
|Pedal at about 90 rpm with your right leg. Use an easy gear until you get accustomed to the unusual feeling. You'll probably find it difficult to pedal for more than 2 or 3 minutes the first time. The muscles that lift your thigh and push the pedal over the top will fatigue quickly. But you'll improve rapidly.
|After a few minutes of using the right leg, switch to the left and pedal for the same amount of time.
|As you improve, increase the gear and the amount of time you pedal with each leg.
TIP! To simulate riding uphill, put a block of wood under the front wheel to tilt the bike. A 4- or 5-inch block will do it.
The Workout Segment: Climbing Power (1)
|Minute on, minute off (20 minutes)
|In the saddle using a fairly large gear (53x17), pedal at 90 rpm for 60 seconds. This should raise your heart rate to within 5 bpm of your lactate threshold (LT). It should feel "hard."
|Shift to the small chainring and spin easily for 60 seconds.
|Repeat 9 times. During the final 3 efforts, your heart rate will climb to your LT or slightly above as you near the end of 60 seconds.
The Workout Segment: Climbing Power (2)
|Stand and ascend (20 minutes)
|In a big gear (53x13), stand and pedal rhythmically for 2 minutes. Your heart rate should rise to about 5 bmp below your lactate threshold. It should feel "hard."
|Sit down, shift to the small chainring and spin easily for 2 minutes.
|Repeat 4 times. During the final 3 efforts, your heart rate will climb to your LT or slightly above as you near the end of the 2 minutes.
The Workout Segment: Climbing Power (3)
|Up and down (20 minutes)
|In a moderate gear (53x19), pedal for 5 minutes at a cadence around 90 rpm.
|Stand and shift to a cog that's 2 or 3 teeth smaller than you were in while sitting. For example, if you pedal seated in 53x19, shift to the 17 or even the 15 when you stand. Intensity should feel "hard." Your heart rate should rise to your LT in the last 2 minutes.
|Sit down, shift to the small chainring and spin easily for 5 minutes to recover.
|Repeat once.
The Workout Segment: Time Trial Power (1)
|TT "threes" (20 minutes)
|Ride for 3 minutes at a steady pace. Choose a gear that allows a cadence of 90-100 rpm but does not drive your heart rate past LT. It should feel "hard" but not exhausting.
|Shift to the small chainring and pedal easily for 2 minutes.
|Repeat 3 times.
The Workout Segment: Time Trial Power (2)
|TT ladder (20 minutes)
|Choose a gear that lets you maintain a cadence of 90-100 rpm and a heart rate not exceeding your LT. It should feel "hard," but not exhausting.
|Do a ladder like this:
1 minute hard, 1 minute easy
2 minutes hard, 2 minutes easy
3 minutes hard, 3 minutes easy
4 minutes hard, 4 minutes easy
The Workout Segment: Time Trial Power (3)
|TT "eights" (20 minutes)
|Choose a gear that lets you maintain a cadence of 90-100 rpm and a heart rate not exceeding your LT. It should feel "hard, but not exhausting.
|Ride at time trial cadence and intensity for 8 minutes. Check your cyclecomputer to see how far you go. Check your heart monitor to determine average heart rate.
|Ride easily for 4 minutes.
|Repeat the 8-minute TT and re-check distance and average heart rate. If you cover substantially less distance the second time, or your heart rate is more than 5 beats higher, it says you did the first effort too hard.
The Workout Segment: Intervals (1)
|Interval ladder (20 minutes)
|Choose a gear that allows a cadence of 90-100 rpm for the length of each interval. Intensity should be "very hard" at the end of each work period.
Do a ladder like this:
The Workout Segment: Intervals (2)
|Interval "threes" (18 minutes)
|Choose a gear that allows a cadence of 90-100 rpm for the length of each interval. Intensity should be "very hard" at the end of each work period.
|Ride hard for 3 minutes.
|Shift to the small chainring and pedal easily for 3 minutes.
|Repeat 2 times.
TIP! This article is devoted to making the most of indoor cycling, but you should know that experienced riders usually don't get on their trainer frequently in the winter. They know that stationary cycling can be mentally taxing. If they use up their store of enthusiasm in January, they'll hate getting on the trainer in spring when bad weather interferes with riding the road. Instead, they crosstrain in winter and save the trainer for spring. Then when they need a hard workout but can't get outside, they don't mind climbing on their nowhere bike.

If running is your thing and tracking your progress using your smartphone your preferred method, then there is no shortage of options open to you.
Google Play is littered with apps that will track your progress, plot your route on a map, log your calories burnt and keep track of all your other stats.
But with the Nike+ ecosystem being pretty large, it was a major gripe that Nike+ Running was available only on the iPhone. Fortunately, the shoe is now on the other foot - or both feet, rather.
Nike+ Running
- Platform
- Android
- Price
- Free
- Where
- Google Play
Before we get going, let's make one thing clear. Nike+ is currently geographically restricted, so those in the US can get it, those in the UK can't, unless you're with O2.
Due to an exclusivity agreement, O2 customers get access to the app before anyone else.
But this is Android and such frivolities won't get in your way: you can simply download the app from another source and side load it on to your device if you want it now and fancy giving the restrictions a two-finger salute.
You'll need an account to use Nike+ and it's easiest to head on to the website and sign-up. If you're serious about using Nike+, then the website is a useful tool, so you can easily look through your data, check your progress or stare aghast at the lack of it.
The Nike+ Running app is divided into two sections, reflected in the tabs across the top of the page. One is a dropdown menu, divided into four areas; the second takes you directly into the actual running section.
Hit "run" and you'll be into the real meat of the app. You're presented with your run options, so not only can you choose the music you want, whether you're outdoors or on the treadmill, or get live feedback from Facebook but, more importantly, can also choose the type of run you're doing.
The options are basic, where you just run, or distance or time. The last two mean you can tell the app your target, so if you have a training plan in place you can set yourself for a 45-min run or whatever.
Hit the run button and you're off. The app then uses the GPS on your Android phone to track your location and, looking at the results we've got so far, it seems pretty accurate in tracking the route.
The main display will show you your basic stats, give you music controls, and let you peel back that stats display to view the map. This is all great, but we'd imaging that most runners won't be able to see their phone display when running, because it will either be in a pocket or strapped to an arm.
But Nike+ Running also includes voice feedback. You'll be given your progress as you run, so you don't need to look at the screen. You can change the frequency of this feedback, from every 250m, through to every 15 mins. You can also select to hear your time, distance and pace.
If you find the voice feedback annoying, which some will, you can restrict it to reporting only at the end of your run.
Once your run is completed, it's synced with your account on Nikeplus.com, so you can login and browse your run, play back your route and so on. It means you avoid the circuitous upload route that some other devices require.
On the other side of the app, outside of the run recording, there are three major sections: home, which gives you a summary of your progress; activity, which gives you a breakdown of your runs; challenge me, where you can set yourself various targets.
There is a fourth and final section which is a Nike shop, so you can order some new shorts, or whatever.
The great thing about Nike+ Running for Android is that it's free, meaning it's pretty hard not to use.
The downside, of course, is that it doesn't know or care about other sports. If you want to track a walk, it thinks it's a slow run. If you want to record a ride, you shatter all your record, because it doesn't cater for cyclists.
But if running is your thing and you're in the Nike+ system, then the app for your Android phone is pretty much essential.

Inside the IT Job Market
It's no secret what it takes to get the job done in IT. From being able to handle emergencies to protecting data to ensuring that employees have the right tools, the IT function is vastly important in today's corporate world. And in an increasing number of cases, companies are spending an inordinate amount of time trying to find the right people. The trouble is, actually finding the right people is by no means easy.
In a new survey released by IT staffing company TEKsystems, the skills gap seems bigger than ever. In fact, of the 2,400 IT professionals surveyed by TEKsystems, a surprisingly high number believe that both the demand for IT skills will outpace the supply and the skills of many present employees won't stand up to the test of time. It's a huge issue that might become even bigger in the next few years, according to TEKsystems.
"The IT landscape is constantly evolving and organizations, as well as IT professionals, need to stay up to speed with those shifts to more effectively manage the new demands businesses will face," says Jason Hayman, market research manager at TEKsystems. "Organizations that do not keep pace with the change face the challenge of hiring in a market where there are not enough IT workers to fill all the jobs."

2014 Yeti SB75 650b Wheel - 2014 Shimano XT Build - Turquoise
If you need a custom build or just a chat please call....We love to talk Yeti!
New 2014 YetiSB75 is here......Yeti's best selling king of the mountain has just under gone a marvelous transformation and been totally updated to compete with the growing surge of "All Mountain" bikes entering the market for 2014. The new 2014 Yeti SB75 now has the much talked about 27.5" wheel or as some call it the 650b wheel platform.
The SB-75 features five inches of travel and holds true to our progressive geometry (slacker head angles, lower bb, longish top tubes). The climbing prowess of this bike is rooted in the Switch Technology: super-efficient with great small bump compliance. Turn downhill and the suspension opens up... it works better the harder you push it.
The frame features custom butted aluminum tubes that have been optimized for stiffness. This gives the bike amazing trail manners, especially when the trail gets rough.

Acerca de
Wife, mother of 3 and grandmother of 7. I work (if you can call it work) as the Pastoral Care Co-ordinator at a local Aged Care facility in Coffs Harbour. Our elderly have some amazing stories to share with us when they are given the opportunity and I have the privilege of listening to so many of them. Sharing their journey at the end of their life is truely a blessing from God.
Because of my work I have come to understand the importance of each individual journey and the legacy of one's life, So, with that in mind I put together a recipe book for my children of the "Tuxford Family Favourites". Some recipes are over 100 years old!!! My wish is that this book will be handed down to their children too and shared with friends and family for years to come..

EVTR Board
Comments from President of the EquiVenture Board
"It is not too hard to be president when we have a Board as we do, who all work together to put on a wonderful, therapeutic riding program. As most of you know, this is an all-volunteer organization with no cost to riders, who are all special-needs children.
We have been successful because of all those who donate their funds, as well as all of our volunteers who donate their time and energy, and have been very faithful to the program.
In 2009 we are losing two Board members, Amy Nevins (and Sara) and Terry Walker, because they are each moving out of the area. We are going to greatly miss them, and are so thankful for their service for many years.
We have two new Board members, Dian McKinney and Dan Taflinger, long-term volunteers, who will fill the seats of those who are leaving.
2008 was a great season; our Monday program had 11 riders, and our Thursday program had 15 riders. We're especially grateful to those who came every week to lead horses, side walk and back ride; they are so important to the program. I can't say enough about our parents, students, Board members, Leadership Kokomo, Phi Delta, United Way Day of Caring, and many others who step in when they see the need. I know I am going to miss recognizing others, and I am sorry. Other people writing articles will pick up on them.
Jeff Fivecoate will give more details, but we have stayed in our budget and made repairs and improvements to the program and property.
We are thankful to all of those who have had a part in seeing a successful therapeutic program serving our special-needs children. All it takes to become a volunteer is to come out some evening and see the smiles and laughter of our riders when they get on a horse. See you at the barn!"
Charlie Gillam
Responsibilities Our Board is a 'Working Board' as opposed to a administrative group. This means we are all active volunteers in the program as well as administrators that plan, organize, develop and carry out the vision of EquiVenture Therapeutic Riding.
Board meetings are held on a mutually agreeable day and time approximately 6 times a year. They are sometimes held at the activity center next to our arena located at 6086 West 250 South, Russiaville Indiana, weather permitting. At other times, member's homes or churches. These meetings are open for all members to attend. The Annual General Meeting, held in January, is open to the general public.
Our Board Members are:
Charlie Gillam - President
Bonnie Flynn - Secretary, Instructor, Programming
Amy Nevins - Instructor, Horse Care
Jeff Fivecoate - Treasurer
Jim Crew - Horse Care, Buildng Maintenance

Beginning in 2011, the American Academy of Microbiology (Academy) will provide a one-year fellowship to a recent microbiology PhD recipient. The Academy is the honorific leadership group within the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), the world's oldest and largest life science organization. The mission of the Academy is to recognize scientists for outstanding contributions to microbiology and provide microbiological expertise in the service of science and the public. To this end, each year the Academy convenes three to four colloquia to address critical issues in microbiology. Colloquium reports are used by governmental agencies, industry, educators and the scientific and lay communities.
The field of microbiology is broad and microbiologists have much to contribute to solving societal challenges in health, food, energy and the environment. Communicating the excitement and potential benefits of advances in microbiology is critically important to attract the next generation of students into the field, to educate and inform the public and to justify continued investment in microbiology research. In addition to academic researchers and clinicians, the field of microbiology needs individuals who are skilled in science communication and public outreach. The goal of the AAM Colloquium fellowship is to provide an opportunity for a recent microbiology PhD graduate to develop these skills. The fellow will work closely with the Academy Director on the colloquium program, participating in the entire process from choosing appropriate topics through proposal development and fund-raising to writing colloquium reports to publicity and dissemination.
Applicants for the fellowship should have a broad interest in the field of microbiology and a willingness to learn about topics outside their own area of expertise. Exceptional writing skills are essential. The fellowship will provide salary and some benefits. The fellowship is based at ASM headquaters in Washington, D.C. and will last one year.
The fellow will work with the Director on the Academy Colloquium program:
- developing novel colloquium ideas
- working with volunteers to develop submitted colloquium ideas
- identifying appropriate steering committee members and participants
- identifying funding sources and drafting inquiries and/or grant proposals
- attending colloquia and drafting session notes
- drafting and editing colloquium reports
The fellow may also be asked to help with other Academy activities including the organization of General Meeting sessions, identification of candidates for Awards committees, monitoring the election to fellowship process and interfacing with other parts of the ASM.
- Advanced degree in microbiology (PhD preferred)
- Exceptional writing skills including the ability to write clearly and succinctly about complex scientific and technical topics for a general audience
- Ability to assimilate and summarize information from the primary microbiology literature
- Ability to follow, then quickly and accurately summarize group discussions
- Ability to identify appropriate experts for colloquia, committees and other volunteer positions
- Excellent people skills – experience working with expert volunteers would be a plus
Candidate must be prepared to travel; approximately 6 off-site meetings are anticipated during the one-year term of the fellowship.

We dropped the land line at our house several years ago.
The representative from Bell South expressed her concern about us not having a phone in the house in case of an emergency. I assured her that at least one of us would always have a cell phone at home and we just couldn�t justify $30 for a phone that we were using a dozen times a month.
We were using our cell phones for long distance calls. My wife used hers to talk to her mother, who is whom she chats with the most, and no one really wants to talk to me, so it was an easy call.
The key to going without a land line is to make sure you always have that cell phone. You have to keep it charged. You can�t leave it in your car overnight. You can�t turn off the ringer and forget to turn it back on. You have to have it by your bed when you sleep.
Remember to do all that and it�s an easy decision, at least it was for us.
I�m reminded that we made the right decision every time I hear from a Times-News reader about unwanted telephone calls to their land line. Just as e-mail has become more spam than anything useful, so too, it seems, land lines seem to simply be a way to annoy us.
A lady who called me Tuesday said she gets a call every evening at 6 when she�s getting ready to eat dinner. I asked her what they were selling. She didn�t know, but described an exchange that goes like this:
�Don�t hang up! Don�t hang up! This is the FBI!�
Seems pretty extreme to me. She said the voice on the other end is trying to offer a free home security system, or something. We both agreed that allowing these folks access to her home to �install� this �home security system� would be a bad idea.
This reader called because she had misplaced a copy of a recent edition of the paper that listed information for the national Do Not Call Registry. You can reach them at www.donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222.
There you can register your home or cell number as one that telemarketers cannot call. You can also file complaints.
Another reader who called me recently said she had to go another route to make the phone calls stop. She went straight to the Federal Trade Commission, which can be reached at www.ftc.gov or 877-382-4357.
She started receiving robocalls a year and a half ago, and that�s despite a concerted effort to stay off the grid � no online shopping or banking. She put home and cell phone numbers on the Do Not Call Registry but was still getting as many as six calls a day, many from �cardmember services.�
�I have gone to heroic lengths to opt us out of everything,� she said.
Working with the FTC, she calls and reports every number an unwanted telephone call comes from.
Thankfully, the spammers haven�t found my cell phone number yet. If they do, I suppose I�ll have to go underground and only communicate by text message or social media.
I hope it doesn�t come to that.
City editor Brent Lancaster can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 336-506-3040. Follow him on Twitter @tnbrentl.

Before Washing
Prepare Wash Load
Empty Pockets and Cuffs
Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out. One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme "lint". A crayon or lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be removed. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.
Mend Rips and Tears
Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes and tears before placing garments in the washer.
Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks
These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear them. Tie belts and sashes so they won't wind around clothes.
2.Sort by Fabric and Construction: Separate items into loads of cottons/linens, permanent press, synthetics/blends/poly knits, and delicates.
3.Sort by Temperature:
Separate items into loads that can be washed in cold, warm or hot water.
Put Small Items in Bag
Small items such as baby socks may get stuck around the door. Put them inside a mesh garment bag.
Check For Colorfastness
Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold water.
Sort Items
Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer's care label. Proper sorting is easy if you follow a few guidelines:
1. Sort by Color:
Separate items into loads of
whites, darks, lights and non-
4.Sort by Type and Amount of Soil:
Heavily soiled clothes will need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.
5.Sort Lint "Shedders" From Lint "Receivers":
Some fabrics attract lint and should not be washed with
Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable press, knits (including socks), corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.
Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat product or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing, treat special stains individually.
© Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT
Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.
Loading the Washer
Load Articles
•Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get the best washing results.
•Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.
Bulky Items
•Use the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle for bulky items such as blankets and comforters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items delicately and thoroughly. The extra rinse cycle may be selected to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A final spin extracts the moisture at a low speed to maintain the load's balance and minimize wear to the articles.
Load Sizes
•Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed together to create a balanced load. If washing a large item, two bath towels should be added to even the load.
•Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do not hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer. The load will compress a great deal when wet. This allows room for proper tumbling.
Water Level
•The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the type and size of the load during any fill.
Wash Temperature
Boosted Hot Water (on select models only)
The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water temperature in the tub to 60°C (140°F) and is useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The red HEATING light will light up when heating. The cycle will not advance until 60°C (140°F) has been reached.
The time needed to reach this temperature may add an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the cycle time. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).
NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off by changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and restarting a cycle with a different water temperature setting.
Hot Water
The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the actual temperature of the hot water supplied to the washer. For models with Boosted Hot Wash, the heater element will not be on. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).
Warm Water
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading.
The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric manufacturer's recommendations.
© Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT
Cold Water
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abilities are not as great as hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.
The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will save money and energy.
NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 16oC (60oF), detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffective cleaning, or lint and residue to form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's care labels.

2.Wash full loads, but do not overload.

Operating Your Washer
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death to persons, read the Safety Information section before operating your washer.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's care labels.
Determine Proper Cycle
NOTE: The cycle times might be longer if a Boosted Hot Wash, if available, is selected.
Regular Cycle
Use for sturdy items, like play or work clothes, towels,
Permanent Press Cycle
Use for permanent press items and synthetics. This cycle includes a wash tumble and two rinses with an optional third rinse. The final spin starts with a medium spin and finishes with a high spin.
Handwash/Delicate Cycle
Wash delicate items usually washed by hand on this cycle. The cycle includes a wash tumble and two rinses with an optional third rinse. The final spin extracts moisture at a low spin.
Rinse & Spin Cycle
Use to quickly rinse items. The rinse is followed by a high spin.
Spin Only Cycle
Use to extract water from wet items. This cycle uses the high spin.
Use to stop a cycle or change cycles.
Extra Rinse
This optional setting is useful for detergent sensitive skin. By pressing the "EXTRA RINSE" button to "ON," the REGULAR, PERMANENT PRESS and HANDWASH/DELICATE cycles will each provide an additional rinse.
To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure the washer cord is plugged into a 120 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper grounding and polarity. Make sure the washer hoses are connected to the hot and cold water faucets, and that the faucets are turned on. Be sure the drain hose is not kinked and is inserted into a drain. Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer installation.
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of wash drum.
1.Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.
IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine operation.
© Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT
2.Measure and add low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) detergent, fabric softener and bleach to the dispenser drawer. Refer to section on
Using Your Dispenser Drawer. Follow instructions on detergent package for amount to use.
When washing bulky items such as blankets and comforters, use the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items delicately and thoroughly. The extra rinse cycle may be selected to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A final spin extracts the moisture at a low speed to maintain the load's balance and minimize wear to the articles.
4.Close the loading door tightly. The washer will not operate with the loading door open.
NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed especially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results. Look
for the HE logo or "high efficiency" on the detergent's label.
IMPORTANT: If using
3.Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section on Load Sizes.
NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get caught around the door. Place these articles inside a mesh garment bag.
To reduce the risk of serious injury, do not bypass the loading door switch by permitting the washer to tumble or spin with the loading door open.
5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.

With a Junior World Championship adventure also on the horizon for this young group of starlets, there was no lack of motivation for Ireland in Athlone.
Like Ireland, Italy's only triumph prior to this encounter came against Scotland, but as a result of comprehensive reversals to both Wales and France, they entered this tie as rank outsiders.
The hosts were certainly eager to live to the billing of 1/50 favourites and they broke the deadlock inside the opening 90 seconds via a close range penalty by out-half Ross Byrne.
However, moments after the routine three-pointer, Cork Constitution prop Rory Burke shipped a heavy knock to his shoulder in an attempted tackle on Italian flanker Sebastian Negri.
After extensive treatment, Burke was eventually given the go-ahead to remain on pitch, but the stoppage in play did take much of the sting out of Ireland's encouraging start.
Byrne was off-target from his second kick at goal four minutes in and when the UCD clubman's clearance was blocked down by Federico Ruzza, Ireland were placed on the back foot for the first time in the contest.
They managed to hold firm on this occasion and although they lost full-back David Busby to injury after 13 minutes - Terenure College's Harrison Brewer, son of former All Black Mike, took his place in the back-three - they finally breached the Italian rearguard for the very first time just three minutes later.
A long spell inside the opposition 22 provided the platform for the try and thanks to a neat offload by Ross Byrne, man-of-the-match Cian Kelleher was able to cross on the left.
This was the kind of score that a fairly static fixture needed and thanks to a well-taken conversion from their reliable number 10, the Irish outfit had developed a welcome ten-point cushion.
Wingers Kelleher and Adam Byrne were really catching the eye with some incisive breaks, and when the latter's namesake increased his personal tally to eight points just past the first quarter mark, a rout appeared to be on the cards.
Unfortunately, there was a lack of intensity to the game and after Ross Byrne had fallen short from another place-kick effort, centre Dan Goggin missed out on securing the second try of the evening.
Ross Byrne's kick through was perfectly-executed six minutes from the interval, but his attempt at grounding the ball was unsuccessful.
This meant that Ireland were 13-0 to the good at the interval and though the lead was a fairly comfortable one, it did noy quite reflect the dominance of Ireland during the first half.
A bout of indiscipline three minutes after the restart presented the Azzurri with an opportunity to open their account, but out-half Filippo Buscema failed to find his range from a distance of 30 metres.
Indeed, just a minute later, Buscema found himself in the sin-bin along with Lansdowne back Kelleher after the two players had been involved in an off-the-ball altercation. Of the two teams, Italy had the better of the play during their absence, and their pack were causing the hosts team plenty of problems.
They lacked that killer touch inside the Irish half, however, and the victory was effectively sealed by Ruddock's charges - who were led well by Sean O'Brien, one of two Connacht representatives in the starting line-up - when Adam Byrne scored the try that his performance deserved via some excellent spade work by Kelleher and Ross Byrne.
Byrne miscued his 58th conversion attempt from an awkward position and although he came up short from another shot at the posts just before the 70-minute mark, Ireland had done enough to claim a well-earned success.
One of the big plusses for Ruddock on the night was the fact that he was able to fully utilise his reserves, and he will have plenty of food for thought ahead of their concluding clash away to France next week.

The end of the era of the Space Shuttle program played out its final chapter on Nov. 2, 2012 when the shuttle Atlantis arrived at Orbiter Processing Facility 2 (OPF-2) to begin preparations for its final destination at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The movement of the last of the retired shuttles marks the unofficial end of the manned program that began in 1981 and ended in July 2011.
Incidentally, not a week earlier, the unofficial end of a new beginning in outer space activities occurred when the unmanned Dragon space freighter, which is built by Space Exploration Technologies, Corporation (Space X) of Hawthorne, California, splashed down off the coast of Baja California after completing a resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The first ever commercial resupply mission, which began with Dragon's launch on a Space X Falcon 9 rocket on October 7, 2012, represents the first of twelve contracted space station resupply missions and the first time in the history of spaceflight that a private company contracted with a government agency to provide such a service.
The first mission of Dragon is just the opening act. Orbital Sciences Corporation, which also has a contract with NASA for resupply missions to the ISS, is scheduled to launch its space freighter aboard its Antares rocket in 2013. Moreover, Space X is slated to provide American astronauts transportation to the ISS starting in the 2015-2017 time frame. Currently the Russian Federation provides transportation to and from the ISS via its Soyuz spacecraft.
Unlike the paradigm of government sponsored space activities, commercial space activities include the participation of sovereign states. Notably, states such as Virginia, Florida, Colorado and New Mexico have passed laws in hopes of attracting private companies to perform suborbital flights, which will accommodate flights for passengers and experiments alike. These flights, which will be performed by companies such as Virgin Galactic, operate under the watchful eye of federal government, particularly the FAA.
Commercial space activities, both in orbit and suborbital, break the paradigm created during the great space race between the Soviet Union and the United States whereby government is the sponsor of space activities and retains control of the technology and instrumentality of space flight. Unlike programs such as the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station, which are the progeny of the space race, commercial space represents the unprecedented act of allowing the free enterprise system to design, manufacture and operate space craft independent of a government agency. This does not mean that commercial space is free from oversight by government agencies, but rather that for the first time space activities are dictated by market supply and demand instead of the needs of government agencies. This opens up new opportunities and affordability for space exploration and utilization that might otherwise be dictated by the changing tides of politics.
The performance of commercial space is truly pioneering with the United States as the focal point, and like any new endeavor there are legal and policy challenges that need to be met. Considering that the existing body of international space law did not foresee the rise of commercial space, these activities present a unique challenge to other nations and the international community at large. Moreover, the existence of commercial space in the United States will provide a template and an expansion of the paradigm of what constitutes space activities and will provide a challenge to other space faring nations such as China who see space activities as a government activity designed to compete geopolitically with other nations.
In spite of all this, the era of government involvement in space is not over. NASA will continue to exist, and it is currently developing its Orion space capsule and the Space Launch System to continue government space activities. However, commercial space will become a complement to government activities, and as it matures it is predictable that commercial space will become an indispensable partner to government activities in the final frontier.
