Anchoring in one's Self during the storms and trials is a way to stay centered during the rush of the day. In Native American traditions, the circle is a powerful symbol of wholeness. The Plains Indians used medicine wheels made of stones laid out on the earth as ways to connect with the sacred in the cosmos both within and without. The best known is the Bighorn Medicine Wheel on Medicine Mountain in Wyoming used by the Northern Arapaho and other tribes including Cheyenne, Crow and Shoshone. They're probably called wheels because of their shape. Stones are located in the center with a series of spokes moving out from the center.
Today medicine wheels are sometimes used by Native American counselors as a way to bring balance and centering. One elder suggests that people draw a wheel with a central point on paper and divide it into four equal parts. He advises people to designate an area for Emotional, Physical, Spiritual and Mental life. In each area he suggests that people contemplate where they are and how they feel about each aspect of their lives. The aim is to achieve balance. "Standing in the center is the most powerful place," he says. In the center one is anchored and perfectly balanced between all of the areas of one's life. Being well centered means that when trials occur and problems arise, we can still maintain a sense of peace and not be thrown off or dragged down.
Labyrinths offer a similar sense of centering. Once after walking a labyrinth in a quiet park I awoke at three a.m. with the image of the center of the labyrinth. That was all, just the small, circular area where I stood at peace and unmoving in the heart of it after winding in and out. The center represented a place of stillness and unity. My mind remained quiet and unattached to anything just for that moment.
Take a moment to focus on this center. People will try to provoke and tempt. By staying in the center it's easier to make decisions that reflect your deepest aims and align with your Higher Self. What would your medicine wheel look like? If you contemplate yourself as a whole, what would you wish to add or remove for better balance? Throughout the day reflect on the center. Find an image that reminds you of this and come back to it often. Reflect on what it means for you to be centered and how you can stay in this place today.

If your cabbage consumption is limited to a deli coleslaw or a tangy helping of sauerkraut, now's a good time to give the humble vegetable another chance.
Sauteing thinly sliced cabbage with thinly sliced onions — cooking just until the onions begin to caramelize and sweeten — creates a savory companion to cooked sausages, such as kielbasa or chicken-apple links. Up this winter dish's flavor with cubes of apple and caraway seeds.
Hearty cabbage skillet supper
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 package (16 ounces) coleslaw or 6 cups finely shredded cabbage
¼ to
cup chicken broth
1 apple, peeled if desired, diced
4 precooked sausages
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions. Cook, stirring often, until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add cabbage, ¼ cup of the broth and apple. Cover; reduce heat to low. Simmer 5 minutes.
Stir in caraway seeds, salt and pepper to taste. Arrange cooked sausages over cabbage. Add more of the broth if needed. Cover; cook 5 minutes. Uncover; cook until broth is reduced, about 2 minutes; do not let vegetables burn.

ericjhowe needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 44 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
We are a UK based windscreen (windshield) repair franchise company. We have been operating since 1991. My franchisees all operate out of small commercial vehicles which in the UK we call Vans and work mainly out of grocery store parking lots where customers are attracted by our vivid graphics and approach us for work to be done.
The general public, business owners, coach, bus and transportation companies. Anyone who owns a vehicle.
Anyone with a chip on their windscreen or who owns a vehicle that wants the windshield protecting against stone- chips.
Up till now all we have focused on is windscreen repair but now we have added on Windscreen glass coatings as an additional service. We have branded that 'ChipShield'. I'd like that integrating with my current design into a completely new design that is bright, vibrant, clean and lets people know what we do. It must be very professional looking and give customers confidence to use us.
I'd like the phrase "insurance company approved" added too.
My website is http://www.optic-kleer.co.uk
I have attached my logos for Optic-Kleer and ChipShield. A completely bright new design to introduce onto any new franchisees vehicles is what I am after.
We have always had our 'O' in bright pink (magenta), but may be interested in switching to bright green with a bright green, black, grey colour scheme.
I'd like to see both options to compare.
Finally the graphic on the back of the van can go if you can come up with something better.
Ive just added a couple of photos of a van design that I quite like. I will probably stick with the pink 'O' and in general our vans are white so the main background of the van will be white. I like certain design elements like the stripes. Hope this helps.
Thank you. I'm waiting to be excited about this.

A Derbyshire primary school is to get a brand new building thanks to a £5million cash boost.
Construction work to replace North Wingfield Primary got underway last week with the help of pupils and teachers from the old school on Blacks Lane.
Councillor Kevin Gillott, Derbyshire County Council's cabinet member for children and young people, said: "I am very pleased that we have been able to provide this new school building for the present and future children of North Wingfield.
"One of our main priorities is to ensure all Derbyshire children get an education that allows them to grow up to achieve their potential.
"By providing a good environment in which they can learn is an important part of that work."
The new building is on the site of the former Deincourt School, on Chesterfield Road, which has now been demolished.
Among its features arestate-of-the-art classrooms and IT equipment, a spacious main hall and play areas.
The building is due to be completed for next summer.
The old school dates back to 1909 and is in a very poor condition, according to the council.

laundryservice21 had een nieuw webpagina ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit50 ontwerpen ingezonden door4 freelance designers.
Langmeier Software GmbH
We are a company from Switzerland and our destination for the next 2 years is to lead the German market of Backup Software. Our company produces at the moment 2 more software products that will expand our product line in future.
Our customers are mostly small and medium sized businesses (60%) as well as private users (40%). Our typical customer is between 38 and 78years old, usually male. Our customers are interested mostly in technics.
What we need is a design upgrade for our existing website http://www.langmeier-software.com/b…herung.php. The design should look more smoothier than the existing one. I like colour effects, eye-catchers, reflexions, border effects, shadows.
- I need the product page not the homepage to be improved (http://www.langmeier-software.com/b…herung.php). Please try to use elements (box shot, screenshots) from our site (http://www.langmeier-software.com/produkte.php).
- The design should be close to our Corporate Identity, try to use our existing colours or colours that really fit to our CI (you find the right colours of our CI in the box shots and in the logo e.g.).
- I expect that (unless someone has really a better idea) the content text should be written on a white background.
- The new design shall not be far from our existing site. It should be more an improvement and not a complete redesign, lets say a smoother variant of our existing design.
- I want the design classical but state of the art. I expect e.g. round corners, border effects, reflexion etc.... Some of this pretty nice effects that make a site more smooth and more modern.
- I like our existing site. The best design proposal will look almost like our existing site - just a little bit improved. Thank you!
Please design a product detail page including background, footer, header, a picture of the software package, some screenshots, a "Download" button plus last but not least a "Jetzt kaufen" (buy now) button.
Our existing site http://www.langmeier-software.com/b…herung.php is overloaded and has not a clear design. Most of the elements look like they do not have the right "place". I wish a design where everything looks like from one entity.
http://www.winzip.com/prodpagewz.htm - it looks clear and it has a design that I like - some shadows, some gradients, some eye-catchers and colours that fit together.
facebook.com - I like the design it looks clear but not cheap - but in some way I miss some shadows, gradients and border effects of the elements.

text: Hi, Be gentle as I am relatively new So I have my dedicated server installed with Ubuntu 12.04LTS and ISPConfig 3 local installed. Lets call it: server.example.org By default ISP Config is available on server.example.org:8080 and that is working fine on direct internet connections. However it doesn't work for me from behind many corporate firewalls, nor my mobile phone provider. The port number is the issue. 1) Is it easy to reconfigure such that for example the panel becomes available on a subdomain listening on a standard port 80 say; admin.server.example.org Secondly I'm also hosting my other domains, lets call it: myowndomain.com I don't seem to be able to get to it and login as a client via www.myowndomain.com:8080, only using server.example.org:8080 and then use my client credentials. 2) Is it possible to automatically add that subdomain listening on the client domain on a standard port 80 such that my clients can use; admin.myowndomain.com, keep that URL but are actually going to and working off the same system as if they were to use admin.server.example.org I'm just trying to make it a bit more corporate friendly, and consistent for the end users..

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner John R. Norris Statement
March 21, 2013
Docket Nos. ER13-198-000, ER13-75-000, and ER13-187-000
Item Nos. E-1, E-2 & E-3
Order No. 1000 Compliance Filings
Today we took another step on the journey to modernize our electric grid and provide consumers and our economy with greater efficiency and just and reasonable prices for electric transmission services. I support the Commissions action on the Order No. 1000 compliance filings for MISO, PJM and WestConnect.
We began this effort nearly three years ago with the proposed rule that became Order No. 1000. The hard work that went into that Final Rule by the FERC and many stakeholders now enters another critical stage the compliance phase of Order No. 1000. This phase is as critical as issuing the original rule itself. The objectives and goals of Order No. 1000 will only be realized if we adhere to the principles laid out there through the compliance process.
Order No. 1000 outlined three major areas of progress toward a more productive and efficient electric transmission grid: achieving greater upfront certainty on cost allocation; integrating public policy objectives into the planning process; and bringing the benefits of competition to the transmission business through the removal of federal rights of first refusal.
With approval of the compliance filings on cost allocation, we will be providing more certainty and stability for building much needed transmission. The lack of an agreed-upon cost allocation formula for transmission planning regions has been a major inhibitor of planning and building needed transmission lines. I am pleased with the cost allocation proposals that we have seen in the compliance filings to date, including those we are acting on this month. Although we require some additional work on some aspects of the proposals, overall the efforts on cost allocation should lead to building essential transmission projects for greater reliability, economic benefits, and addressing public policy objectives.
The next major area addressed by Order No. 1000 is the integration of public policy considerations into the planning process. If we are building the grid of the future, we must open up our planning processes to examining how we can better plan for public policy objectives impacting the future of our electricity system. The compliance filings that we are addressing this month all take an important step forward in meeting transmission needs driven by public policy requirements enacted at the state, local and federal levels.
The final major area I want to highlight today is the issue of competition in the transmission business. Order No. 1000 sought to provide consumers and our economy with more efficiently priced and delivered electricity by introducing greater competition in the provision of transmission services. By requiring the removal of a federal right of first refusal (ROFR), we enable the force of competition to generate more creative and efficient solutions to transmission needs.
Order No. 1000 appropriately gave deference to state laws and regulations impacting the siting and construction of transmission within their borders, and made clear that the Commission was not seeking to preempt or otherwise intrude on those measures. However, I am concerned by efforts to extend state laws and regulations into the federal planning process itself in a manner that limits the projects that may be considered for inclusion in the regional plan. Allowing these measures to effectively disqualify an otherwise more efficient and cost-effective project from consideration essentially creates a new federal ROFR. This restricts competition and prevents state policymakers and their consumers from seeing the benefits competition can bring in meeting transmission needs by blocking potentially beneficial projects from ever seeing the light of day. Moreover, allowing the laws of a single state to remove a project from regional consideration effectively serves to extend that single states restrictions to the entire planning region.
We take some action in these compliance orders today to send the ROFR compliance filings back for further work to meet the competition goals of Order No.1000. I remain concerned that the desire to shield incumbent utilities in certain states from competition negates the efforts that we have made to enable consumers and stakeholders throughout the planning regions to see the benefits of competition, and the creative proposals for solving transmission needs more efficiently that can result.
I will be monitoring these critical areas of compliance closely as we go forward in the regions we have responded to this month and the remaining regions pending our review and action.

I have tried the free versions of Runtastic, Endomondo and Runkeeper as well as MyTracks. Currently using Runkeeper as I'm more running than anything else and I like the way it talks to you each k with time/splits etc. Simple matter of selecting what sport you are doing. If it's fully charged two hrs with GPS is no problems but I find it needs a charge at least everyday in general use especially if you do a bit of facebook/net surfing. Havent tried any dedicated cycling apps so might have a look at Velodroid..
As an aside I am trying an app called Launcherpro which I think is basically a different skin and the phone seems to be a lot quicker and doesn't freeze as much. If you download homeswitcher you can select between the motorblur or launcherpro. Would love to know enough to get rid of the motorblur.

Hmm - too car oriented for me. I reckon the perfect setup would be a bluetooth, bike computer head unit with speed and cadence and HR displayed that spoke enough bluetooth to your smart phone to allow synchronous recording. That way, the phone stays in the pocket, happily mapping away, while the small display did the "immediate" stuff. Have your HR mapped against the GPS readings, you wouldn't need a powertap.
I too am waiting for a complete BlueTooth solution . You would think in this day and age it would be here by now . A Bluetooth earpiece that fits in your helmet would be great too . I find the lap times that Endmondo Sportstracker gives you very motivating . Is there a limit to the number of simultaneous BT connections a phone can have active at once ?
It seems silly having so many different proprietary wireless protocols that are totally incompatible when bluetooth seems to be more than adequate and an established standard . The possibilities for personalised configuration seem almost limitless . Just add a cadence , speed , HR , speaker or whatever BT module that tickles your fancy . The beauty being you can use your phone as the "headunit" that has totally upgradeable software . It's a win win . The days of super expensive Cycling computers are surely coming to a close .

Bluetooth speed sensor . Only problem is that it costs $199US . I'm sure it won't be long before the cheap chinese models become available .

This looks great , Pity it's only currently for the iphone . Very reasonably priced as well .
The 2.4ghz would be better than bluetooth for reliability but probably worse on battery life .

Unfortunately the GSC-10 does not work , It connects but thats about it with the speed just going crazy and no cadence registering at all . The HRM works perfectly and didn't drop out once over a 2.5 Hr ride . The phone was in my back pocket shirt and despite only going out with 17% battery it actually lasted the distance without having to be put on low power mode just using Endomondo's default settings . The actual distances recorded by the garmin and Endomondo were within 2% of each other , That I have actually tested a number of times while out riding with my wife .
Personally I'm happy with a cheapy computer to tell my my current speed/cadence with endomondo giving me lap times and keeping a record of my rides . On the other hand my wife does triathlons and thinks it's great as she can take it swimming .
Is anyone using a proper speed sensor with android endomodo ?
My mate recently got a brand new Telstra branded motorola Defy+ delivered for $99 with would make a great cycling computer as it's IP67 rated ("mostly" waterproof) and once you have rooted it and put a custom rom on it has reasonable battery life .

IPBike seems to be a good workaround app? Would be great to know because while I wouldn't use the Garmin straight off the bat (duotrap Trek) I would have to get one for my commuter. Are you able to do any alternate app testing?

I had to install a second app called ipsensorman to make it work which I was alerted to as soon as I pushed the sensor icon within ipbike app . It sent me straight to the app store link and it was free as well .
Had a smnall hiccup in that it wouldn't work to begin with and was asking me if I was in airplane mode . Switched on bluetooth and it started to work . I'm actually surprised it worked at all as I've been mucking around with custom roms and currently have the latest Jelly Bean android installed .
It's a shame this app looks so awkward , It's just not a patch on Endomondo , Currently trying to figure out how to kill it . I guess with a bit of customizing it could well be perfectly functional .
Thanks for the tip .
I'm going to shoot Endomondo an email asking why their app is not compatible , Pointless and a waste of my time but at least I tried .

I'm a bit confused about the value of it all, seems like I'll have to go Garmin plus phone because none of the phones have sufficient battery life to run the screen AND the GPS AND the app unless I want to just record the commutes... even then that's 2 hours a day. A week between charges isn't unreasonable, is it?

I used to use the Strava app, but I like having the cadence and speed data from the GSC-10, and I can then download the Garmin data as a gpx file and upload to Strava.
Battery life seems okay, but leaving the screen on, with maps does tend to chew through the power.
The Ipman apps are great, but take a LOT of work getting set up so that the screen shows only the relevant data. The GUI is still a bit clumsy for my liking.

I think you can cache maps, and this might bring down the power usage...anyone know?

Sometimes, when it rains, it pours. Such often is the case for the UFC.
Not two hours after announcing the loss of its co-main event for UFC 153 next month in Brazil, the UFC now has lost its top draw on the card. Main event featherweight champion Jose Aldo has been forced out of his title fight with Frankie Edgar, leaving the UFC with a pair of holes in the top two positions for its return to Rio de Janeiro.
UFC President Dana White on Tuesday announced the news, summing it up on Twitter with: "Main and co-main in the same day!! Another amazing day at the UFC. We have some work to do."
Earlier on Tuesday, White announced news that co-main event fighter and former light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was out of his fight with Glover Teixeira with an injury. It is not yet known who Jackson's replacement will be.
Aldo (21-1, 3-0) was expected to face Erik Koch (13-1, 2-0) in the main event of the card, which takes place at HSBC Arena in Rio on Oct. 13. But an injury to Koch forced him out, and the UFC elected, in news first reported by USA TODAY and MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), to give an immediate title shot to new featherweight Edgar (14-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC), the former lightweight champion who decided to drop down 10 pounds and make a run at 145.
But now Aldo is out, and Edgar's shot at another belt will be put on hold. It is not yet known if Edgar will remain on the card against a different opponent or if he will now step back and wait for Aldo to recover from his injury.
White on Tuesday told MMAjunkie.com he was uncertain what would happen with Edgar's placement on the card, saying both options were open – that Edgar could face a new opponent next month, or he could be pulled.
Edgar was looking to join UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture and B.J. Penn as the only men to hold UFC championships in two different weight classes.
Aldo has not fought since a UFC 142 first-round knockout of Chad Mendes, which also took place at HSBC Arena in Rio. That win gave him successful UFC title defenses against Mendes, Kenny Florian and Mark Hominick and made him 11-0 as a Zuffa fighter, including his time in the WEC.
Edgar finally moved to 145 after months and months of encouragement from White. In 2010, he won the lightweight title against B.J. Penn at UFC 112 and defended it at UFC 118. He fought to a now-famous draw with Gray Maynard at UFC 125, then knocked him out in the rematch at UFC 136. But against Benson Henderson at UFC 144 this past February, he finally tasted defeat in a title fight, dropping a close unanimous decision.
He got a rematch this past month at UFC 150 in Denver, but again dropped a close decision. After that, he decided to drop to featherweight – and found himself quickly back in a title fight with Koch was injured and he stepped up.
UFC officials now apparently will go to work on another five-alarm pay-per-view situation. Just this past month, the entire UFC 151 pay-per-view was canceled when Jon Jones refused a replacement fight with Chael Sonnen after Dan Henderson was forced out with an injury.

Real Madrid walks past lowly Alcoyano
Two goals by Karim Benzema and one each from Kaka and Jose Rodriguez gave Real Madrid a 4-1 away win over third-tier club Alcoyano in the first round of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
Benzema headed in after Alcoyano defenders Javier Selvas and Arkaitz Perez failed to clear Alvaro Morata's cross in the 21st minute.
Alcoyano made a fast-passing start and had pounced on three of Madrid goalkeeper Antonio Adan's short clearances, causing Madrid to have to chase the ball hard in midfield.
"They played as I had expected – with joy, with intensity, with motivation and with self-belief because up until we started to score against them they even looked better than us," Madrid coach Jose Mourinho said.
Kaka controlled Benzema's assist outside the penalty area, took a step forward and hit a left-footed shot low into goal in the 35th.
The 17-year-old Rodriguez made a dream first team debut with Madrid when he scored in the 67th, before Javier Lara pulled one back for Alcoyano from a free kick in the 77th. Benzema scored his second from an assist by Kaka in the 87th.
Mourinho rested Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Xabi Alonso, Pepe, Sergio Ramos and captain Iker Casillas.
In earlier games, Malaga beat Cacereno 4-3, Atletico Madrid trounced Real Jaen 3-0, Almeria won 2-0 against Celta Vigo, Zaragoza beat Granada 1-0 and Las Palmas downed Rayo Vallecano 1-0.
Malaga's United States international, Oguchi Onyewu, headed into goal in the fifth minute. Roque Santa Cruz doubled the lead 15 minutes later.
Malaga's Cameroon international goalkeeper, Carlos Kameni, was beaten by Juan Gabriel Jaraiz in the 36th minute, and Alberto Macias leveled after he buried a pass from Ruben Jurado in the 42nd.
Sergio Duda gave Malaga the lead in 59th minute, and teammate Roque Santa Cruz scored in the 71st minute. Cacerano striker Carlos Esteve then headed into the net in the 87th minute.
Atletico Madrid showed the impressive form that has given it the co-leadership of the Spanish league with Barcelona following a solid victory against Jaen.
Diego Costa converted a penalty in the 28th minute after Jaen's Daniel Torres had been sent off for handball in the penalty area.
Adrian Lopez beat two defenders with a strong run while controlling the ball before hitting a shot into the net.
Raul Garcia headed the final goal in injury time.
Things started badly for Rayo Vallecano when goalkeeper Daniel Gimenez was dismissed early in the first half after stopping the ball with his hand while outside the penalty area. Las Palmas' Thievy Guivane Bifouma Koulossa hit the winner in the 21st minute.
Zaragoza forward Carlos Aranda made it 1-0 against Granada in the 80th minute.
Almeria forward Jonathan Sundy Zongo from Burkina Faso scored in the 53rd minute, and midfield teammate Abel Molinero added another in the 87th minute.

8 ways to spend less
Running out of money before the month's out? Stop overspending, dipping into savings or driving up your credit card balance to make ends meet. Instead, tighten your belt ever-so-slightly with these 8 simple austerity measures.
Eat out less. Limit how often you visit restaurants. When you do go, save by choosing BYOB locations and having dessert and coffee at home.
Reduce memberships. Get rid of or downgrade DVD-rental or gym memberships as well as cable, cell phone, Internet and plans.
Trim transportation costs. It might be time to start a carpool routine with neighbors or co-workers, or consider using public options a couple of days a week.
Stretch your grocery dollars. Create a price book and buy food only on sale; cook double meals and freeze them; go meatless two meals a week; make your lunches at home.
Save on health care. Ask your doctor for generic medications and fill them through a mail-order pharmacy. If you have a high-deductible policy, use retail family-care centers such as MinuteClinic whenever possible, instead of visiting the doctor.
Boost your income. Options include getting a second, part-time job, baby-sitting or selling items online.
Lower your living costs. If you can't bring your expenses below your income, you might need to ditch the second car or rent out a room for a while.
Put retirement on hold. It's OK if you need to reduce or eliminate contributions to your retirement to pay off a credit card or build up emergency funds. But if you have a company match, maintain the minimum contribution so you're not missing out on free money.

As New York works to implement its brand-new gun laws, the ranks of people heading to local county clerks' offices to apply for handgun permits has risen sharply, and gun-rights supporters are generally displeased with the legislative changes.
As New York works to implement its brand-new gun laws, the ranks of people heading to local county clerks' offices to apply for handgun permits has risen sharply, and gun-rights supporters are generally displeased with the legislative changes.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office, which does the required fingerprinting for handgun permits, has seen a dramatic jump in an already-rising trend.
"We've had a heavy influx that developed over the years," Orange County Undersheriff Kenneth Jones, said. A decade ago, the office fingerprinted about 40 people per month for handgun permits. Starting in 2008, the number jumped to 150 or so per month.
Now, Jones said, "we've been doing around 150 or 200 a week."
Orange County clerk's figures show that applications ranged from 162 applications per month to 254 per month for the first 11 months of 2012; in December, the number rose to 380. Between Jan. 2 and Jan. 24, there were 516 applications.
Jones attributes the spike in applications to politicians' statements following recent mass shootings.
"I think people look at it as, the government is going to infringe on their rights, so they try to get in before the law changes," Jones said.
Orange County is implementing an appointment system for permit fingerprinting. Sullivan County has already switched to appointments for handgun permits — they're booked through Feb. 1, said County Clerk Dan Briggs — and they've had to print up "several batches" of paperwork to accommodate the rush.
"We're absolutely inundated," he said.
Local politicians are banging the drum against the new laws.
On Tuesday, the Town of Deerpark unanimously adopted a resolution demanding the repeal of the NY SAFE Act, and is sending copies to other municipalities across the state that have requested them.
In Ulster County, 42 people spoke before the Ulster County Legislature on Tuesday before an overflow crowd to voice their opposition to the new gun laws.
On Sunday morning, Hudson Valley People In Support of The Second Amendment will hold a pancake breakfast and a rally at the Accord Fire Company.
Assemblywoman Annie Rabbitt, R,I,C-Greenwood Lake, who voted against NY-SAFE, continued her criticisms of Cuomo's law on Wednesday and said she'll keep pushing for repeal.
"We need to have a serious conversation about how to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the seriously mentally ill," she said in a news release. "The legislation that was recently enacted does not address those concerns and our communities will not be safer until Albany agrees to have an open and honest conversation addressing the root problems of violence in our society."
At Fernwood Firearms in Hankins, at the northwest corner of Sullivan County, owner John Kielbasa said he'll probably close up shop and move — maybe across the river to Pennsylvania, maybe to Texas.
"It's putting me out of business," he said of New York's new gun law. He estimates that roughly 70 percent of his business is selling semi-automatic rifles, including AR-15 types.
On Jan. 10, he headed to Las Vegas for the annual Shot Show, a firearms expo, and returned to the business he built with his nest egg on Jan. 18, after Cuomo's law passed.
"I left a booming business," Kielbasa said. "I came back to nothing."
Elsewhere, ammo stocks in popular calibers are taking a hit.
Shelves were low on boxes of ammunition — especially handgun ammo including 9 mm — at Gander Mountain and Dick's Sporting Goods in the Town of Wallkill on Wednesday, with some calibers sold out. Dick's had signs up saying that customers would be limited to six boxes because of the increased demand.
Although there have been reports of law enforcement encountering ammunition shortages from suppliers elsewhere in the country, local police agencies haven't had that problem.
The new laws have George Rogero of Orange County NY Shooters fuming, even as they've brought in new students for his NRA handgun safety class.
"You mean the New York give-up-your rights act?" he said. "I have yet to talk to anybody who knows about this who's willing to comply."
Rogero said he's already given classes to more people so far in January than he did in half of 2012, and the number of classes he's given has tripled since 2005.
"Our rights have been infringed. I can't go out and buy certain guns that are legal in other states," Rogero said. "They lied to us before. 'We're not going to take your guns.' Well, tell that to New York City. You took their guns."
Mark Bischof of Goshen, a gun owner who considers himself passionate on gun rights issues, said the legislation was drawn up hastily in back rooms, and it shows.
"A lot of people were rankled by the underhanded way it was put through," Bischof said. "All he (Cuomo) had to do was wait. Put the testosterone aside, and wait for the president to speak the next day. And Obama made nothing but sense."
Bischof said he agrees with the provision to limit public disclosure of permit information, and the cleaning up of the background check provisions. But he'd like to see the restoration of 10-round magazines and pistols, and to have older magazines grandfathered.
New York's new law is just taking guns away from law-abiding people, Kielbasa said.
"I'm really done," he said. "Unless they change some of this stuff, I'm gone."

Your work is vital. We are raising funds to support it.
I need to use Publisher for creating a newsletter, and the organization I am interning for has a license for the software. I have downloaded publisher from the Microsoft eOpen website, and when I downloaded, chose the 32-bit connection. However, when I try to run and install the downloaded program, I now receive error message 1713 saying that "setup cannot install one of the required productsf or microsoft office publisher." I assume this is because the installation program seems to be formatted for a 64-bit connection, though I am positive I chose the 32-bit. Is there any way to fix this?
On a related note, the computer I am working on is running a trial version of Publisher and it is possible to put in your product key (which we have) as proof of purchase and to update to the full version of Publisher. I am using the product keys from the eOpen Microsoft website that came along with our license, but the Publisher trial is telling me that they are incorrect, even when I know that we have purchased the software. Suggestions?
I may know what the issue is. If you had downloaded Publisher from the main Microsoft website and are using the general trial version, the license provided through the TechSoup donation program will not work. In order to use the Volume License Key, you must make sure that you have a Volume Licensing version of your product. This can be downloaded from the eOpen website. Please let us know if you continue to experience problems with your product activation.

You will also most likely have to uninstall the previous trial version of publisher for the volume license version of publisher to install.
That is indeed correct. Thank you for the reminder!

So, in the time remaining, are we hoping more for designs which extend the appeal of voting? Greater accessibility? Or is it more important to insure the quality and accuracy of votes cast by the existing body of determined voters?
Having no bearing on the above, I note that there hasn't been a submission based on natural-sustainable materials, nor any (visible) solar panels, which seems out of character. Though the recycled containers sort of cover that. So far, that's where my (premature and, appropriately, ineffectual) vote goes. I really enjoyed the helix and the drowning tanks, too.
I missed rkuchinsky's last post. The way I've understood thing, votes are supposed to be anonymous so that, for example, your employer can't coerce your to vote a certain way, presumably a serious problem in the budding democracies. I don't personally feel much concern about this, but it's generally pretty obvious who I people around me voted for. That particular comfort maybe doesn't exist everywhere.
I'm all for recording or marking who has and has not voted, though I suppose it could be an invasion if you were a very private person. You could just stay in that week I guess.

Building on the Opportunity of the IAEA Report on Iran
Also available in العربية
November 15, 2011
Despite technical setbacks and political indecision, the military dimensions of Iran's nuclear program apparently continue and will become even more challenging over time.
The alarming headlines following last week's publication of the latest International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran's nuclear activities and their likely military dimensions have revived the debate about how best to deal with the challenge. During this weekend's Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Hawaii, President Obama defended sanctions on Iran, saying they have "enormous bite." But he apparently encountered opposition for more such measures in meetings with the Russian and Chinese presidents. The IAEA Board of Governors will tackle the issue in Vienna on November 17-18, and the strength of any resolution passed at the meeting will be an indication of the level of international agreement on how to deal with Iran.
New and Old Concerns
The IAEA report laid out the evidence that, despite denials, Iran is working on the building blocks for making nuclear weapons. The details regarding the nuclear program's suspected military dimension are in addition to already known areas of concern: the continued production of enriched uranium, the shift to higher-enriched uranium that would shorten the time to reach weapons-grade level, the concealment of nuclear activities and related construction, and Tehran's history of problematic cooperation with the IAEA.
The report also expressed the agency's continuing concern regarding Iran's noncompliance with its safeguards obligations and previous IAEA and Security Council resolutions -- behavior that has left the IAEA unable to provide assurances about the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran. In this regard, the agency's findings of a possible military dimension to the nuclear program are particularly troubling.
Despite the report's detailed evidence, gaps remain in the IAEA's knowledge. The most important findings and gaps are highlighted below.
Military-Related Activities
According to the report, Iran carried out a structured program of activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device until the end of 2003, with at least some of that work likely persisting into the present. For the first time, the IAEA has published organizational details of this program. The schema is complex: some activities were confined to the original program, while others shifted to different bodies. In any case, despite the changes, the report concludes that Iran's military-related nuclear activities probably continue today.
The report shows how Iran's activities in three technical areas -- the "green salt" project (an intermediate step in producing feed material for uranium enrichment), high explosives development, and re-engineering the Shahab-3 missile's reentry vehicle -- were consolidated under the so-called AMAD Plan from the late 1990s to early 2000s. Although the IAEA reported a halt in these activities in late 2003 and early 2004, it also noted that personnel involved in these efforts were deployed to other military-related entities, where some activities were subsequently resumed. For instance, work involving neutron initiators, triggering systems, mathematical modeling, and implosion experiments continued. The report further implies that Iran has knowledge of a fairly advanced nuclear weapon design and has tested some of its components, though it has not used actual nuclear material in those experiments.
Uranium Enrichment
Iran's fuel-enrichment plant (FEP) at Natanz has continued to operate with a monthly production rate of 140-150 kg of low-enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6). Despite having no apparent need for the material, Iran continues to produce and stock it. The current total cumulative production -- 4,922 kg of UF6 -- would be sufficient for four atomic bombs if further enriched to weapons grade.
Such high enrichment levels would be difficult to achieve with the unreliable IR-1 centrifuges currently in place at Natanz. Yet the situation would change if Iran succeeded in its ongoing development of two more-advanced centrifuge types, known as IR-2m and IR-4. Assuming it is able to overcome remaining design problems and probable lack of special materials, Tehran would still need to bring approximately 2,000 of these new centrifuges into commission and run them for a few months before it could produce enough high-enriched uranium for a nuclear device. This breakout capability is achievable by 2013.
The Tehran Research Reactor. Earlier this year, Iran announced its intention to triple production of 20 percent enriched uranium, saying the step was needed to manufacture fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR), which produces medical isotopes. This objective appears to have evolved since then. The IAEA report indicated that Iran is continuing with its efforts to produce fuel for the IR-40 heavy-water reactor in Arak (the construction of which the UN Security Council asked Iran to halt, given concerns that it could produce plutonium, a nuclear explosive entirely different from high-enriched uranium). The TRR will be used to irradiate a test fuel assembly for the Arak reactor, a process expected to last several months. Consequently, Tehran is now saying that the increased production of 20 percent enriched fuel is needed for this purpose.
Signs of Parallel, Undisclosed Production
Concealment and denial have been hallmarks of Iran's nuclear activities, adding to the international community's lack of confidence in its declarations. Even now, the nuclear program's full extent is unclear. Iran built a number of its uranium enrichment facilities covertly (e.g., the Kalaye workshops in Tehran, the main and pilot FEPs at Natanz, and the Fordow FEP constructed inside a mountain near Qom), declaring them to the IAEA only after other countries made their existence known to the agency. Iran also failed to disclose its P2 centrifuge development until challenged on the issue by IAEA inspectors in 2004. The agency is still awaiting information about the construction of additional enrichment facilities that Tehran announced in 2009. And earlier questions regarding Iran's laser enrichment program remain unanswered.
This track record only exacerbates broader concerns about the possible existence of undeclared nuclear facilities and related materials in Iran. Accordingly, the latest IAEA report, like previous ones, emphasizes how Tehran has conducted much of its work in secrecy, increasing its enrichment capacity in the process.
In publishing these detailed findings, the IAEA has refocused the public debate and diplomatic discussion surrounding Iran's nuclear program. The challenge of maintaining international unity in dealing with the problem nonetheless remains. One test of this week's IAEA board meeting will be whether it can produce a strong resolution backed by all five permanent members of the UN Security Council (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, and France). In the longer term, the international community must remain mindful that despite technical setbacks and political indecision, the military dimensions of Iran's nuclear activities have apparently persisted and will therefore become even more challenging over time.
Olli Heinonen, a senior fellow at Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, formerly served as deputy director-general and head of the Department of Safeguards at the IAEA.

The fantasy of creating a new life – just disappearing from the humdrum of everyday life and starting over as a completely different person – may well be fairly common. But few people ever attempt it, let alone pull it off. Veteran journalist Mark Seal's latest book, The Man in the Rockefeller Suit, tells the tale of a man who managed to reinvent himself multiple times, the last of which involved appropriating the name and mannerisms of one of America's most legendary families.
It all began in Germany where young, ambitious Christian Gerhartsreiter wanted a better, more exciting life than the one he would have in the small village where he grew up. He moved to the United States (on a questionable student visa) in the fall of 1978 and settled briefly in Connecticut where he enrolled in high school. A year later he went to Wisconsin, started college and, for the first time, changed his name. Then known as Chris Gerhart, he married to gain US residency and soon moved (by himself) to California where he began calling himself Christopher Chichester. In 1981, he settled in San Marino and claimed he was a grandson of Lord Mountbatten – the great grandson of Queen Victoria and one of the three Supreme Allied Commanders of World War II – but shyly admitted that he was a "poor relation." He soon began to tell people that he was a baronet.
Given that "Chris" was charming, well-mannered, smart, sophisticated, and claimed a royal pedigree, he was readily welcomed. He eventually settled into the guest house of an alcoholic, mentally troubled woman who lived on Lorain Road in tony San Marino, and befriended John and Linda Sohus, the woman's son and daughter-in-law. The young couple left suddenly for New York and a "very secret" government job that Chichester had arranged for them. They were never heard from again.
Chris himself departed abruptly and next appeared in Greenwich, Conn., where he called himself Christopher Crowe and worked as an information technology specialist for a small investment firm. His growing ego soon clashed with the owner of the firm and he again left quickly. But he landed on Wall Street where he became – stunningly, given his total lack of experience – a vice president in the corporate bond department of Nikko Securities. Not surprisingly, that did not last long and, once again, he simply vanished. For the next three and a half years, it appears that there is no record of where he was or what he did.
But by mid 1992, he was living on East 57th Street in Manhattan and calling himself Clark Rockefeller. He dressed and acted the part and fooled most people for a very long time, including Sandra Boss. By all accounts, Boss was smart (a graduate of Stanford University with a Harvard MBA) and ambitious (the youngest partner in the history of McKinsey and Company). He wooed her and they married. But his behavior became increasingly erratic and over time she grew to suspect that he wasn't on the level. After 12 years of marriage, she divorced him. He was given very limited visitation rights to their daughter. He kidnapped her in Boston and fled to Baltimore (where he called himself Chris Young) but the FBI soon captured him.
No mystery writer would script this – it's too unbelievable. At one level it's an amazing story of an individual's capacity to remake himself multiple times and to find mentors and supporters at every level of American society. The fact that he managed to live as a serial imposter for 30 years would not seem to be possible, but he pulled it off. (One wonders how it would work today in such an interconnected world where a Google search can very easily be conducted on anyone and anything.)
It is a fascinating and complex story especially because it's all true. Seal conducted more than 200 interviews to gather material for the book and provides a well written, entertaining, and coherent narrative. The fact that Seal could bring order and coherence to the tale is a tribute to his journalistic skills.
While it is a remarkable "true crime" story, the book is not completely satisfying because the story is, in the end, incomplete. Large parts of "Rockefeller's" life are missing and several of those who could have shed the most light on his life – Gerhartsreiter himself, his former wife, and the woman he apparently lived with between 1988 and 1992 – didn't cooperate with the author. Seal gets great mileage from those whom he did interview but the absence of several central actors leaves too much of the story blank.
And finally, the story is not over. Almost 10 years after Gerhartsreiter suddenly left California, the body of John Sohus – the son of his landlord in San Marino who had taken a "secret government job" – was discovered buried near the guest house where Gerhartsreiter had lived and traces of blood were found in the dwelling. All Seal can say for sure is that the case remains under active investigation. In other words, despite, valiant efforts to bring the story to a conclusion, it seems likely that there is at least one more chapter to come.

Microsoft built a custom Windows Mobile user interface for a new phone that T-Mobile USA expects to announce this week, evidence that Microsoft may be getting more serious about pursuing the consumer mobile market.
The phone, built by HTC, will be the first in a line of phones from T-Mobile using the new Shadow brand, said David Sholkovitz, marketing manager at T-Mobile.
While Microsoft has worked with operators to help modify the operating system to fit their needs, this project represented a new level of partnership, said Doug Smith, director of marketing for Microsoft's mobile communications business. "I'd say this was one of the deeper partner involvements we've had on a new product," he said.
The Shadow features a home screen that looks very different than other Windows Mobile phones. Users slide a wheel to navigate through icons on the screen that take them directly to e-mail, their music player and photos. The idea was to make it easier to use increasingly complicated phones, said Sholkovitz.
The operator approached Microsoft about ways to alter the home screen in order to simplify it and prevent "feature fatigue," he said. "We wanted to create a product with the feature set that Windows Mobile products have but deliver it in a simple fashion that was user intuitive and icon based," he said.
T-Mobile, Microsoft and HTC began working on the new user interface in November of last year. "I think this was rare for [Microsoft]," said Farah Houston, product development manager, T-Mobile. "We had access to a lot of resources I don't think they normally make available. Microsoft is trying to show they're serious about the consumer market and this is what they're willing to do."
Windows Mobile, which works in tandem with Exchange to push corporate e-mail to the phones, has a reputation primarily as an enterprise tool. T-Mobile hoped to avoid that image with the Shadow and the keyboard design is meant to help. "When users see a full keyboard they think business and productivity," said Sholkovitz. "So we made it a hidden slide-out keypad."
During a keynote speech at the CTIA I.T. and Entertainment conference in San Francisco last week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer described what Microsoft thinks will attract consumers. "Consumers will want phones that span all of their life personas," he said. "My work life, my personal life, my life with my family, my life with my friends. People don't want to pull out multiple devices."
Another Microsoft executive echoed a similar thought. "We can do multiple things in parallel," said Scott Horn, general manager of Microsoft's mobile group, also speaking at CTIA. "We can do both consumer and enterprise... You will see more devices appeal to the consumer side."
The talk of consumer needs shows how the iPhone is likely affecting Microsoft's strategy, one analyst said. "There's no doubt the success that Apple had with the iPhone in terms of appealing to the mainstream end user market as opposed to the business market has not gone unnoticed," said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Jupiter Research. "Microsoft has built these devices to service and solve business needs but Microsoft understands the intersection of business and consumer."
The declining price of Windows Mobile devices will make them more appealing to consumers, said Smith. The Shadow, as an example, will retail for US$150 with a two-year voice and data contract. It will work with a new data plan from T-Mobile that costs US$20 per month and includes unlimited data use and Wi-Fi access at T-Mobile hotspots.
The phone will be displayed in T-Mobile stores along with other lower cost feature phones, not with the higher end smartphones, said Houston.
Neither Microsoft nor T-Mobile would comment on intellectual-property ownership for the new software interface on the Shadow.

Best Uses
This is a fantastic bike for the cost. The frame is light and responsive, stiff horizontally at the bottom bracket where it matters, but compliant vertically, so you don't get beat up, even on rough roads. I rode a Specialized Roubaix and a Trek Domane to compare, and the Defy won out over those two, and I have now piled up close to 2,000 miles on it. This bike came with the Shimano 105 groupset, which has been very efficient, with great gearing for almost anywhere. The wheels are a tad heavy, but remain true, and I have not had a single flat tire on the road, not one. The frame and wheels will take up to 28mm tires, in case you are curious. There are two things also to know, the seapost here is a proprietary Giant post, in a D shape. Giant does this to make it more comfortable, but if you want another post, you can't just put anything on there. The saddle is also fairly similar to a Fizik in shape, which doesn't work for everyone. I found the padding on the saddle to be perfect though. This however you can change to whatever you find works for you. The difference between the 2016 and 2017 models are minimal. The newer version has hydraulic brakes, and thru axles on the hubs. If you can't justify the cost, take a look at the Defy Disc, which is the aluminum version of this bike (with carbon forks). Only slightly heavier, and not quite as comfortable, it's a great bike in it's own right. Do not order one of these bikes blind. Get to a bike shop and ask to test ride one so you can feel it, and check what size works for you. Any bike shop worth it's weight in salt won't blink at your request. They likely know you'll buy one. I also highly recommend you get a basic fit with any bike you purchase.
Best Uses
Dollar for dollar this is maybe the best carbon bike you can buy. It's very comfortable on even rough roads or packed dirt. The bike comes with 28 tires, but will fit 28. It's also laterally stiff where it matters most, making the bike responsive. The endurance geometry is fairly relaxed, but make sure it fits you. Some feel that the bike is a tad long, so if you have short arms, make sure you do a test ride and get the right fit. The disc brakes work great for not being hydraulic, and the rear shifting is spot on perfect. I found the front derallieur needs a bit if trimming at times. The wheels are not great, but not bad either. Finally, like most Giants, this bike is really nice looking. Both the white and yellow versions. Though not a reason to buy a bike, it's still a nice touch.
Best Uses
have been biking for a while and was pretty happy with a lower end Trek. wanted to upgrade and was told to check out Giant because of the great value for your money. tried a number of bikes, but really fell in love with the Defy. its lightweight, great components and durable. probably will upgrade wheels and tires in a couple of years, but otherwise, love it! lots of hills in Michigan and this bike helps me kill them
Best Uses
After buying an old 10 speed and getting into riding and riding a lot I took the leap and bought this amazing bike. It has an aggressive feel while still remaining comfortable. Its great for 50+ mile rides but it also fast for shorter rides. With Shimano 105 components it shifts perfectly without spend way to much on anything nicer. Its just a great light fast bike thats comfortable for long rides. Plus the people at Jones are wonderful and so helpful.
Best Uses
The most comfortable road bike I ever sat on. The personalized fit at Full Cycle (Nancy and Mike?) was great. After putting on the selle Italia max lite seat it was perfect. Nancy spent an hour setting it up. I was about ready to buy a Modone 4.5, then found this bike at Full Cycle.The Giant just fit me better.
Best Uses
I actually bought the 2009 Defy Advanced 2 (with Ultegra) from Curt. Was impressed with the ride compared to the Orbea Onix and Specialzed Roubiax. I felt like I could anyhting on this bike. It's fast and responsive. A real quality product. Giant does'nt mess around and neither does the staff at Curt's Cyclery. They were knowledgeable and very friendly.
Best Uses
I love this bike compared to my former bike. I ride 25-30 miles a day and this bike is fast, agile and comfortable. A very comfortable fit in terms of the seat and handlebar geometry, fits like a glove. I would highly recommnend this bike to anyone who wants quality and performane. I purchased this bike 11/09.
Best Uses
test rode it Sunday, 8/16. Also tested the Cannondale priced a few hundred $$ more. Liked the Giant better. Waiting for the 2010's to come out, so I can get the '09 on a close-out. Might put a triple crank set on it for climbing the extra steep hills around where I live.
Best Uses
I just got this bike a month ago, my first all carbon bike. Loved it from the first 5 seconds on it. This bike was a demo I got at a local shop and save about a grand off sticker, so that was great. It's quick and comfy. Being that I am 38 years old and with the legs of a 14 year old school girl, it climbs like a champ.
Best Uses
Bought the in January, Tested and rode a lot others. Rode over a 2000 miles so far, including a Century. Very comfortable and quick. Not as soft as the Robuiax, but more responsive, rigid and lighter. The rims have been solid, no complaints about the components. I would defiantly buy this bike again. Awesome deal!

PERLIS Cajun Clothing Debuts at Armstrong International Airport
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – September 25, 2012 – New Orleans – A New Orleans landmark store, Perlis Cajun Clothing, opened its first airport venture at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The iconic clothing store is located on Concourse D and is one of the many new concessions coming to the Airport. Perlis will market Men's, Women's and Children's clothing and accessories featuring their distinctive crawfish logo. They will also feature a selection of Mignon Faget jewelry. The original Perlis store, located in New Orleans on the corner of Webster and Magazine Streets, was established over 70 years ago. In addition to their flagship store, Perlis also operates a shop in the historic Jackson Brewery in New Orleans and a full service store in Mandeville, LA..
The new Airport location will be 490 sq. ft.and will provide jobs for 3 employees and operate from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. The store will operate under the Airport Master Concessionaire – New Orleans Air Ventures II (NOAV II). The New Orleans Aviation Board (NOAB) has entered into an agreement with NOAV II to provide a series of new and renovated properties for a total expenditure of over $4.3 million.
In addition to Perlis, Hudson News & Gifts opened their new 2,150 sq. ft news & gift shop located on Concourse D. It will provide jobs for 9 employees. Hudson markets souvenirs, gifts and apparel, snacks, beverages, electronics, travel accessories, and a wide selection of newspapers, magazines and books. Hudson News & Gifts is a major retailer in many Airports throughout the U.S.
"The opening of the Perlis Cajun Clothing store signals the intent of the Aviation Board to provide to our passengers the unique local brands that they have requested through our recent on-line survey and community feedback," said Nolan V. Rollins, Chairman, New Orleans Aviation Board.
"We welcome Perlis and the new adjacent Hudson property to our concessions team," said Iftikhar Ahmad, Director of Aviation. "Their presence will be one more example of how the NOAB is working to improve our Airport environment by giving our passengers a selection of quality vendors with great customer service."
"These new store additions will give our passengers an opportunity to enjoy quality Louisiana products. It's another step in the right direction for our Airport as we work to complete $356 million in renovations in time for the 2013 Super Bowl," said New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
