Edmunds' Expert Review
The 2009 Nissan Maxima is a high-quality, well-stocked entry-level luxury sedan with an everyday badge. Snobs need not apply, but those with a keen eye for value should take note.
vehicle overview
We can already hear the complaints: "I am not paying $36,000 for a Nissan sedan." We understand. For that kind of money, you could be driving an Infiniti, a BMW or even a Mercedes. They must be smokin' something interesting at Nissan's Tennessee headquarters, right? Well, they're not as nutty as you may think, as the all-new 2009 Nissan Maxima is a high-quality entry-level luxury sedan that is well worth the fair amount of cash Nissan's charging for it. In fact, when fully loaded, it undercuts similarly equipped luxury-badged sedans by thousands, while in some cases being dynamically superior.
While wrapped in sharp, unique styling, the '09 Maxima was put together using the best bits and pieces found in the Nissan and Infiniti warehouses. The basic front-wheel-drive architecture comes from the sporty Altima midsize sedan; however, its length was reduced and width increased to improve handling. Nissan's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V6 shows up yet again, in this case with an ample 290 horsepower on tap. The Altima's excellent continuously variable transmission (CVT) is the lone transmission choice, but in the Maxima's SV trim, it comes with metal paddle shifters that control artificial transmission "gear" ratios. The low-friction, high-feel power steering is similar to the Altima too, but once again, it was upgraded to provide a more driver-focused feel.
Inside, the Maxima is an analog clock and fancier gauges away from being 100 percent Infiniti. Materials and construction are thus as good as or better than those on a G35, while the same sort of high-tech and high-lux equipment is available -- from one of the best iPod integration systems available to a cooled driver seat. Interior space is actually a smidgen less than the Altima, so don't expect the range-topping Maxima to be some sort of full-size Avalon competitor.
As long as you can live without "oohs" and "ahs" from the neighbors, the 2009 Nissan Maxima should be on the must-look list of any luxury-car buyer searching for something in the 30-grand range -- particularly something that offers foul-weather-friendly front-wheel drive. Vehicles that offer a similar amount of high-tech equipment for a low price include the Acura TSX and TL, Hyundai Genesis and Volkswagen Passat. Vehicles that offer less equipment when similarly priced, but feature more driving fun and/or brand cachet, include the Audi A4, Infiniti G35 and Lexus IS. We think the Maxima stacks up well with any of these choices, but where it ultimately stands depends on your definition of a luxury car -- or in other words, how much you're willing to throw down for a Nissan sedan.
trim levels & features
The 2009 Nissan Maxima is a midsize entry-level luxury sedan available in S and SV trim levels. The base model S comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, cruise control, a sunroof, keyless ignition/entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, a tilt/telescoping steering column, eight-way driver and four-way passenger power front seats, a 60/40-split rear seat, cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a trip computer, an auto-dimming inside mirror and an in-dash six-CD changer with an auxiliary audio jack.
The Maxima SV adds foglamps, a driver seat manual thigh-support extender and power lumbar support, leather upholstery, a compass, a Homelink universal garage remote and a nine-speaker Bose stereo upgrade.
The SV can be equipped with either the Premium or Sport packages, which offer much of the same equipment but differ in key areas. Both add transmission paddle shifters, xenon headlights (available separately, but curiously, this requires adding Bluetooth, too), a driver-side auto-dimming outside mirror, heated front seats, driver memory functions with automatic entry/exit, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, a heated steering wheel, rear bucket seats with a center trunk pass-through (60/40-split feature deleted), upgraded leather upholstery and trim, Bluetooth (available as a stand-alone option) and satellite radio.
The Premium Package is differentiated by a dual-panel sunroof, a rearview camera, a seven-inch LCD screen, a cooled driver seat, rear-seat audio and HVAC controls, automatic up/down rear windows, a power rear window shade, wood trim, an audio-visual auxiliary audio jack and a dedicated iPod interface. The Sport Package features a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch wheels, a rear spoiler and metallic-look interior trim. High-performance summer tires are an added option with the Sport Package.
The Technology Package available on the Maxima SV adds a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic, a rearview camera, an auxiliary audio-video jack, a dedicated iPod interface, satellite radio, a single in-dash CD player (which replaces the six-disc version) and 9.3GB of digital music storage. This package is cheaper when combined with the Premium Package, since several features overlap. The heated front seats, steering wheel and outside mirrors can also be had in the Cold Package.
performance & mpg
Every 2009 Nissan Maxima comes with a 3.5-liter V6 producing 290 hp and 261 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT that can be overridden by six artificial "gear" ratios selected by the driver with steering-column-mounted paddle shifters (SV trim only).
At our test track, the Maxima SV went from zero to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. Its fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined.
Every 2009 Nissan Maxima comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front and rear outboard active head restraints. A rearview camera is optional.
The Maxima's potent V6 feels very strong, and unlike other CVTs, the Maxima's is well-suited to the engine. Still, those who've never driven a CVT-equipped car may initially feel like the Maxima is stuck in a hopelessly tall 1st gear.
While the 2009 Nissan Maxima may not be the "four-door sports car" it's marketed to be, it can be quite a lot of fun to drive, with a competent chassis and well-sorted suspension. Although the Sport Package offers a tauter suspension and bigger wheels, we found that it offers no dynamic advantage and ruins the Maxima's otherwise nice balance between adept handling and a comfortable ride. Steering on all Maximas is excellent, exhibiting a nice blend of low-friction weighting and a high level of road feel that should satisfy both comfort-minded and enthusiastic drivers alike.
The 2009 Nissan Maxima features design and craftsmanship worthy of its luxury-car price. In fact, the Maxima's cabin -- in Premium and Sport guise -- is probably a tad nicer than that of Infiniti's G35. Buttons and knobs move with well-damped precision, while the dash and door sill tops are covered in a soft-touch material. The many buttons and knobs for audio controls, climate controls and the available navigation system are well-placed and well-spaced so each function is easy to find, whether you've gotten into the car for the first or 101st time.
The dual-zone automatic climate controls are a model of simplicity, while the stereo can be controlled via dedicated buttons or (with the Technology Package) a multipurpose control knob placed below the 7-inch display screen. With that package also comes the best solution for in-car iPod control we've seen to date. Plugged into the USB port beneath the center console bin, an iPod is completely controlled via the multipurpose knob, steering-wheel-mounted toggle switch and LCD screen menus that nicely mimic the iPod's actual controls.
Space inside the Maxima is quite good, with a comfy driver seat that provides an excellent range of adjustment. The available rear bucket seats make the middle seat practically useless, but they are very comfortable. The trunk can hold 14.3 cubic feet of stuff that enters through a wide opening.

Licenses for Windows 10 are still issued on a per DEVICE basis, not a per user basis. Microsoft has only added the ability to store a DEVICE's license for Windows 10 in a user's Microsoft Account.
Licenses for Windows 10 are still issued on a per DEVICE basis, not a per user basis. Microsoft has only added the ability to store a DEVICE's license for Windows 10 in a user's Microsoft Account.
I will always attempt product key activation first, then only if that fails, fall back on transferring a digital license from my Microsoft Account.
Regrettably, just because a device is listed, does not necessarily mean it is activated.
I'm at a loss to understand why MS don't simply link a key to a MSA account and simply allow one installation like other software developers. Is it a money thing?
Against MS making it easier? Why on earth do you say that? I am absolutely all for simplifying this whole cumbersome, confusing process that doesn't seem to have changed much for many years now.
Not that it matters too much what I think, but I am suggesting the simplest form of activation, i.e. every key being linked to one install at any time for a particular user. Let's take the whole hardware thing out of the equation. That is how a lot of software licences work, i.e. activated for 1 install at a time.
I am still missing something crucial here. You say re-installing is simpler now, but that wasn't really ever an issue. Not for me at least. All that was required was to input a key, then there was a check against the hardware, and bingo, everything was fine.
My issue over the years, and in this thread, is about what happens with hardware changes and transferring to a new PC completely.
I was under the impression that life in this respect had been made easier with Anniversary by associating keys with MSAs rather than hardware, but throughout this thread, that opinion has proven to be wrong. Keys are still locked to hardware.
I am interested in your statement 'I can transfer a license from a device listed on my Microsoft Account'. That seems to suggest what I was thinking in the first place!
I'm afraid, despite all you guys' best efforts, I remain totally confused! Honestly not trying to be awkward here.
1. You start Winodws setup. One of the first things it asks you for is a product key. You enter your Windows 10 retail product key. That determines which version of Windows 10 is installed, Home or Pro, and you won't even be asked to choose.
2. Windows setup finishes. When connected to the internet, Windows 10 sends the Installation ID to Microsoft Activation servers. The Installation ID is a number that includes a bunch of different factors including the unique Product Key you entered, the version of Windows 10 installed and hardware information unique to the computer installed on.
3. If this was the first activation of that Installation ID, and your product key is recognized as a retail product key, then Microsoft Activation Servers will return the activation code to activate Windows 10. Just like before, with Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1.
4. Now, you re-install the same version of Windows 10 on the same computer entering the same retail product key. The resulting Installation ID will be the same as the first install. When connected to the internet, Windows sends it to Microsoft Activation Servers which recognize the Installation ID as being activated before and will send the activation code back to activate Windows. Just like in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1
5. Now you change your motherboard. You have created a new computer. You install the same version of Windows 10 with the same product key - or leave the same version of Windows 10 installed that you had before. The Installation ID will be different. This gets sent to Microsoft Activation Servers. There is no match for this Installation ID, so the activation servers retrieves the product key from the Installation ID. Now, depending on how many times this product key has been used on different computers in a certain amount of time, one of two things will happen:
5a. If the limit for using the product key has not been reached, Microsoft Activation Servers will return the activation code and Windows 10 will activate. Just like before with Windows 7 or Windows 8. This additional use of the product key is recorded and the number of times the product key has been used is increased by 1.
5b. You hit the limit of the number of times the product key can be reused. Microsoft Activation Servers will return a code that tells Windows that the product key has been blocked from online activation. The user will then be prompted to call the Microsoft Activation phone number where you will have to manually enter the Installation ID. A computer voice will ask you how many computers you have installed with this copy of Windows. You answer 1. You get the activation code in return that you type in and Windows 10 activates. Just like with Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.
Microsoft has not changed how activation with a product key works for Windows 10. What Microsoft has done is added digital license activation to Windows 10. But that only provides MORE options for the user to activate Windows 10 with. But they took nothing away from standard product key activation of Windows 10.
Now, instead of remembering a whole bunch of different product keys, and keeping track of which product key goes with which computer - I choose to just click the link at the bottom of the page that says "I don't have a product key" and let Windows retrieve the digital license for me and activate by itself. But, if I really want to enter a product key, I still can.

Wake Robin Trail is a 3.6 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Peoria Heights, Illinois that offers the chance to see wildlife. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking, walking, trail running, and nature trips.
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
no dogs
This trail is currently closed until July 2017.
Great trail for hiking. Clearly marked paths. It's a great work out.
As Robyn said below, this trail is currently closed until July (post from Forest Park on Facebook a few days ago). But when it reopens, I'd highly recommend it. It has some challenging parts with uphills and stairs, but overall I'd rate it moderate to easy. I usually take the Bee Tree Trail up and access the trail from the ridge. At the conclusion, I don't take the stairs to do Deer Run, but continue on Lower Deer Run, which eventually leads you back to the main Valley Loop Trail by the nature center. I like to pack a snack and stop for a few seconds to enjoy nature in the little "treehouse" built about halfway through the trail.
Just letting people know this trail has been closed for the last few months due to erosion. Not sure when they will be re-opening it.
Trail was well maintained, and there was a lot of wildlife compared to others in the area. The trail was hilly and the map was easy to follow. Make sure to stop by the nature center beforehand and pick up a map. It was definitely a moderate hike and I would recommend it to anybody!
Great for all to enjoy :)
This is my favorite trail in the Peoria area. It encompasses four hills steep enough to get your heart rate up and long enough for a good workout. I enjoy this trail summer and winter.

Decked out in their rain boots in case it was muddy, the kindergartners took a hayride across campus to Roots Farm on Friday, October 7. The excursion was an opportunity for them to pick the pumpkins they planted in June. After each child plucked two perfect pumpkins from the patch—one to take home and one to turn into pie—they ventured into the corn maze where they got "lost" among the stalks, which are twice their size. See the fun here.
The following Friday, the prekindergartners boarded the haywagons for their trip to Roots. After picking pumpkins, flowers, and corn, they hiked around the outside of the farm where they made lots of exciting discoveries.

Radical Education
1 comment:
Wicked start Kim, and thanks for sharing this in it's development. That's rad! Doing so further supports your "circular theory" (if I can interpret it further), that no one explanation or theory will educate in isolation, we need a plethora of stories and theories and interpretations of those stories and theories (roots, trunk, branches, leaves, little squirrels living in cute nests) that all come together to illustrate the whole.ReplyDelete
You asked for feedback, and while I know this will come together brilliantly here are some thoughts. I'd love to hear more about what institutional practical education would look like, also I was thinking it might be really powerful if you use one or two of your examples (eg. the telling of Canada's colonization, or "War on Crime" or generational trauma) and thread it throughout as you develop this piece. Your varied explanations of those would be really profound I think, especially used to illustrate your multiple kinds of education. Oh! also would love to hear your thoughts on how to begin "hard" conversations with children, and how to build this into education so that kids aren't having their first conversations about race, or sexuality, or power at 14... 14 is awkward and painful enough as it is :P. Lastly, for the word you were looking for what about simplistic? or self-fulfilling?
But yeah, great work! Keep at it! I miss you!

Even though this is 2010, some people still use fax machines. There will, inevitably, be a point in your life where you have to fax something to someone. More and more people are accepting scanned documents and eSignatures, but it's simply unavoidable. You will have to fax something.
When that time comes, it's best to have some easy way to send a fax without having to keep some big clunky machine on your desk for the once every two year occasion you have to send a fax. First things first, what do you want to do?
Send a fax via email
Also known as "I need to send a fax but I don't have a fax machine," this one is really easy to fix. Well, it's easy as long as you have a scanner. You don't have a scanner? How are you going to send a fax? Take yourself to the nearest postal store and pay to send your fax. Ok, the rest of you have a scanner. Scan your document or whatever into a .DOC, .DOCX, or .PDF file. Then take that doc to faxZero, type in all the info, and send your fax – for free!
Receive a fax
Also known as "I need to get a fax but I don't have a fax machine," this has a couple of answers. First and easiest, is to go to K7.net and sign up for free. This is a free fax and voicemail service, but you can check the 'fax tone only' option and your number will only be answered with a fax tone. The only tricky part to this is it has (for some reason) a Washington state only option where you can only receive faxes and calls from inside Washington state. Obviously pick the other one, unless that's you. This actually works! I got my confirmation email in a minute or two, and lo and behold you don't have to verify anything and the number was already working! I sent myself something from faxZero and it went right through, maybe a minute and a half before I got the with the attached fax.
Now while these two options will get you through a once in a while fax scenario (for FREE!!!), they are not the most professional. The best and cheapest service online is eFax. If you get on to chat with their service reps you can pretty much get any kind of fees waived and get to their minimum $4.95 charge per month. Also, if you just have a temporary need for faxing, they have a 30 day free trial which can be canceled at any time without any charge to you.
Here is a transcript of a conversation I had with a sales rep of theirs:
You are now chatting with 'Alexandra'
Chris: Hello I heard there was a free level of servide with eFax but I can't seem to find it? Does it still exist?
Alexandra: yes we have a free 30 day trial Chris
Chris: Ok do I get a fax # for that 30 days? And do you need a credit card?
Alexandra: yes
Alexandra: and yes
Alexandra: Pricing depends on your usage. Can I ask how many pages you plan to send and receive per month?
Chris: just a handful, that's why I was asking about the free service.
Chris: maybe 2-3
Chris: If I sign up for the demo and cancel before the 30 days is up is my credit card charged?
Alexandra: no, there is no contract service is month to month
So the bottom line is if you need to just send or receive a one-off fax every once in a while, there is no need for an extra phone line or clunky fax equipment. Send faxes for free with this guide, be sure to share with your friends.

Vintage Club CollarDesign a Shirt
Our Take
The rounded collar points make for a unique look that can be surprisingly versatile. It looks great paired with a jacket and slim tie or worn open more casually. If you want to mix it up a bit and add some British flair to your wardrobe, give this collar style a try. Better for guys with narrower, rather than rounder, faces.
Historical Relevance
The round collar style has been a part of the Eton school uniform since the mid-nineteenth century. The collar started as a separate white collar that attached to the shirt, and early on the collar was a mark of membership to an exclusive male club—hence "club" collar. This is certainly a more dapper look.
Exact Specifications
2 3/8" collar point length, 3" spread, 1 1/8" front collar band height, 1 3/8" rear collar band height, 3/8" tie space, rounded collar points, no collar stays, small button on the center back of the collar.

(A) Rejection of goods must be within a reasonable time after their delivery or tender. It is ineffective unless the buyer seasonably notifies the seller.
(B) Subject to the provisions of section 1302.62 of the Revised Code:
(1) after rejection any exercise of ownership by the buyer with respect to any commercial unit is wrongful as against the seller; and

Kendall & Kylie Jenner Cover 'Teen Vogue' March 2012
Kendall and Kylie Jenner smush themselves together to capture a pic in this new shot from the March 2012 issue of Teen Vogue.
The two cover girls, BFFs, and sisters opened up to the glossy about cheering, style and family. Check it:
Kendall on cheerleading: "They call me Cheer Mom, because when we make those big banners for football games, I'm the one to say, 'Do this, do that; use this color, use that color.' Not, like, in a mean way. But I just like things in order. I'm a perfectionist."
Kylie on her shopping habit: "I feel like a shopaholic. When I come home with a new bag of stuff, oh my god, it feels so good."
Kendall on her own style: "I like to be comfortable and casual. I'm more laid-back than Kylie. In school, I'll wear jeans, a sweatshirt, and Uggs, and she'll [Kylie] wear, like, this whole ensemble that she put together the night before."

Research Interests
Dr. Qin Xu studies the molecular mechanisms behind the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Specifically, she studies a class of enzymes found in neurons that are responsible for slicing a protein called apoE into fragments—a process that is believed to contribute to the development of Alzheimer's. She is also currently building biological tools to screen drugs that could block this detrimental process.
Prior to joining Gladstone as a postdoctoral fellow in 2005, Dr. Xu was a lecturer at the School of Medicine at Fudan University in Shanghai, China.
A native of China, Dr. Xu earned a bachelor's degree at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, and a PhD in molecular biology and biochemistry at the Chinese Academy of Science's Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry in Shanghai.

In a post on her official blog published on Sunday (16Oct11), Watson has warned fans she'll be out of the spotlight for a while as she continues her English literature classes.
She writes, "To Everyone who is starting a New School Year, (sorry those who have been at school for a while Oxford starts late). Just to say have a great term and good luck with all your work. You might not hear from me for a while because I will be really busy studying but I wanted to just say hi and bye... Love Emma xx."

- Exhaled breath condensate as a method of sampling airway nitric oxide and other markers of infl ammation
Jia LiuBCDEF, Paul S. ThomasEFG
Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales and Department of Respiratory Medicine, Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick, NSW, Australia
Author's address: Associate Professor Paul S. Thomas, Department of Respiratory Medicine, Prince of Wales Hospital, Randwick, NSW 2031, Australia, e-mail: [email protected]
Source of support: Departmental sources
Most of the methods of investigating lung diseases have been invasive until the discovery that exhaled nitric oxide can be used as a surrogate marker of airway infl ammation, particularly in asthma. Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is now established as a marker of airway infl ammation. It has been shown to correlate well with eosinophilic asthmatic airway infl ammation, and to be able to predict decline in asthma control and airway function. Altered levels of NO are also associated with other infl ammatory lung diseases. In addition, polymorphisms of the genes encoding the three nitric oxide synthases are associated with phenotypic differences associated with lung diseases. Exhaled NO is, however, non-specifi c. It is therefore of importance that collecting exhaled breath condensate (EBC) has emerged as a potential tool in the study of pulmonary diseases. The exhaled breath is collected in a cooling system which allows water vapour to condense. The EBC contains a number of mediators relating to the NO pathway, including nitrite as a metabolite of nitric oxide, nitrotyrosine, nitrosothiols plus small molecular mediators associated with oxidative stress, including hydrogen ions, and hydrogen peroxide. In addition, reports are emerging of the detection of larger molecules which not only include leukotrienes, prostaglandins, albumin and other proteins, such as cytokines, but also macromolecules, for example, DNA. EBC is becoming a technique which will allow repeated non-invasive sampling from the respiratory tract thus assisting pulmonary research and possibly the monitoring of lung diseases.
Key words: exhaled breath condensate • infl ammation • nitric oxide • airway disease

Music mogul Russell Simmons sat down with HuffPost Live on Friday and said he hopes leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wins the primary because that would be good for Democrats like socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders.
"He can't win. All he can do for us is win the primary, and that would be fantastic," Simmons said of Trump. "Even Bernie Sanders could beat him, and that would be great."
"He's covered and he's getting media and he's winning because he's an outsider whose interesting and fun to watch and people believe some of the stuff he says, but not enough to win," he added.
During Thursday's Republican debate, Bernie Sanders tweeted a December 2 poll that puts him ahead of most of the Republican field in a head-to-head matchup.
However, the Real Clear Politics average of polls has Sanders and Trump locked in a virtual tie.
Simmons, who spent most of the interview endorsing Bernie Sanders, also said if the Vermont senator won, "we wouldn't have to overturn things like the little gun thing that Obama did or we wouldn't have to backtrack on some of the progressive ideas that we're implementing, like health care."

I really hate when people say they get me or they understand. They don't. They don't understand what I'm going through just like I can't necessarily understand what they've gone through with their life experiences. It is the pivotal differences between sympathy and empathy; neither of which I want. And I desperately don't want pity. Not about turning 40…that's a good thing.
It just so happens that I'm turning 40, an epic age, at the exact same time I'm going through a major transition in my life. For those that don't understand transitions please let me define. I'm not talking about leaving a relationship or quitting a job. While those are perfectly fine transitions, I'm talking about something much, much deeper.
Have you ever been driving around town, running errands, listening but not really listening to the music and all of a sudden you realize you've ended up somewhere you never meant to go. Maybe you completely forgot you were on your way to the grocery store. Have you ever sat on the front porch and watched the stars overhead and wandered what your life would be like if it were different. When it is different. There is a great scene in Texasville where Jeff Bridges walks in on his wife, played by Annie Potts, laying on the bed. He asks her what she's doing and she answers, "thinking". When he asks what she's thinking about she explains that women think millions of things in a day and go through millions of changes in a day. Well, I don't think this is just women…I think all of us go through similar changes. But we perfect our lives in a way that we become accustom to these changes and don't challenge what we really want in our lives, because, we are too afraid.
In the last week, all of my friends and family have asked me on a pretty consistent basis what I want to do for my birthday and the answer is that I'm not really sure. I've never been a party person so I know I don't want a party. We've just spent the last week celebrating Alex's birthday at numerous birthday dinners, so I don't really want to go out to dinner. We were supposed to go to Vegas, but have decided to wait when we can spend a little bit more money. I thought about driving to Chicago for the weekend but we were just there for a bachelorette party. I entertained the idea of renting a lakeside cabin and taking the dogs for the weekend but after processing the packing, etc I realized we have a pool here and my dad lives on a lake, so we might as well stay home. Nothing seems right for my birthday.
And then I realized the reasonp.
Celebrating my birthday this year is not a superficial surface passing. Celebrating my birthday this year is the coronation of a major transition in my life. A transition of the mind, body and spirit. I have been very sad and unhappy for some time because I have allowed myself to become someone I don't really know anymore. And with the exception of Alex and probably two or three other friends, I don't know that anyone else really knows the real Peter either. I put on a very good act.
The real Peter doesn't give a fuck…but then again he does. He cares deeply about things that matter and pays very little importance to things that don't. I've spent the last several years caught up in drama and ridiculousness that doesn't matter. The real Peter tells it like it is and isn't worried about someone's reaction because typically, that's what people have learned to love. The real Peter loves the smallest details in life. The real Peter does not change the radio station for anyone because people used to love his singing to country music. The real Peter loves country music…and folk music, dance music and rap. The real Peter will try almost everything once unless it may risk his life. The real Peter takes his recovery and sobriety very seriously and wouldn't have put himself in half of the situations he's put himself in over the last several years. The real Peter respects the sanctity of marriage and has very little respect for those that don't. The real Peter is very opinionated. The real Peter will smoke a cigarette if he wants to smoke a cigarette…unless you kindly ask him not to smoke. The real Peter is comforted with the safety of a clean home, dogs who love him, a loyal husband and does not care for change. The real Peter is terrified by change, which is why is he so resistant to life transitions…but it's time.
During the last week, I've explained to people that starting on my birthday on Friday, many things will be changing in my life. I think they are a little bewildered and unsure what this may mean and how it will affect them. Let me make this very clear…I'm not moving, leaving Alex and making any drastic changes in my surface life. It is what lies beneath that will change. And as I sit on my front porch late at night, typing at my computer in my garden office, I have outlined the next year of my life. The best year of my life…hopefully.
While talking to my best friend the other day, and I say best because she has been the one constant best in my life for the last 15 years, I asked her what she wished she had known at 40. She explained that she probably wouldn't have spent as much time with people that wouldn't matter to her on an intimate level later in life. We also talked about my constant need to explain myself…an art I have learned to master only in the last few years. It is these kinds of changes I will be implementing in my life, along with a laundry list of goals, hopes and dreams I will accomplish!
Please follow me over the next year as I write daily posts and do daily videos about my life and the lessons I learn, on and off the couch. Maybe you'll learn a few things from me. And maybe, just maybe, I'll learn a few things from you too…because we're on borrowed time as it is!

What's Your Selfie Technique?
Oh, don't pretend like you don't have one!
As you may recall, there were some major complications with my birth. I was born with a crooked spine (congenital scoliosis), I was bow-legged (still kind of am) and my feet pointed inwards when I walked (couldn't even do it now if I tried).
My parents weren't having any of it.
My early childhood consisted of going to physical therapy, which I was convinced was gymnastics class, so you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that I wasn't competing to be on the Soviet Olympic team. I remember being taken to saunas where people put hot jars on my back. I was also constantly being reminded to point my feet out when I walked.
But what really stuck out to me in my childhood was walking around with books on my head, which I whole-heartedly believe is the sole reason for why my posture is almost impeccable. Like seriously, if having great posture was a competition, I would so win it.
If carrying books on top of your head was a competition, I would win it--and I'd win it in six-inch stilettos.
Although I was too young to understand why I was forced to do all of these things as a child and viewed carrying books on my head as more of a game than posture therapy, I'm now really grateful that my parents took the time and effort to help me straighten my spine as much as possible so I could avoid future back problems. Some of the people I've known with chronic back pain are absolutely miserable to be around, so I'm thankful that I don't have that to frown about--too much frowning can lead to premature wrinkles.
My spine is actually the most flexible part of my body now, and although it's still noticeably crooked, I've haven't had any back problems since, well... since I was born, I guess. I can fold myself like a book and can reach far beyond my feet.
Standing and sitting up straight isn't just for my posture's sake. It's actually really uncomfortable for me to slouch. My back starts to hurt, and sitting up super-straight is the only position I'm comfortable in.
One of the my favorite benefits of usually being in an upright position is that apparently I appear to be taller than I actually am. I'm only 5'5" but get constantly told that I seem much taller. Those same people usually say it's because I'm intimidating. I think it's because I stand up straight.
To keep my back flexible and in an effort to maintain great posture, I practice a lot of yoga. I also stretch my back often by bending down to touch the ground, old-school gym class style, as well as regularly move through upward and downward dog.
Look, I hate to sound like your mom, but sitting and standing up straight can save you a lot of future back problems, you'll look more confident, and people will think you're taller. They may even find you a little bit intimidating even, but I think people only find me intimidating because I also suffer from chronic "bitch face" (another article for another time.).
So, do you have scoliosis? Posture tips and tricks? Other back problems? Marci was just telling me how her doctor says her posture has been all but ruined by her boobs. (A blessing and a curse!)

Final Hours
In his tribute to Kurt Huber, Bill Vallicella reminds us that Huber spent the days before his execution by the Nazis working on a book about Leibniz. In like manner Boethius wrote his Consolation of Philosophy in prison before his execution, and Socrates, condemned to death, spent his final days in conversations with his friends, recorded in Plato's immortal dialogues Crito and Phaedo.Newer› ‹Older
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (tr. Thomas P. Whitney), describes the last days of some prison camp inmates:
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (tr. Thomas P. Whitney), describes the last days of some prison camp inmates:
At the Samarka Camp in 1946 a group of intellectuals had reached the very brink of death: They were worn down by hunger, cold, and work beyond their powers. And they were even deprived of sleep. They had nowhere to lie down. Dugout barracks had not yet been built. Did they go and steal? Or squeal? Or whimper about their ruined lives? No! Foreseeing the approach of death in days rather than weeks, this is how they spent their last sleepless leisure, sitting up against the wall: Timofeyev-Ressovsky gathered them into a "seminar," and they hastened to share with one another what one of them knew and the others did not -- they delivered their last lectures to each other.In a letter from prison to his brother Carlo (December 19, 1929), Antonio Gramsci wrote:
Even if I were condemned to die, I think that I might be serene. The night before the execution I might even study a bit of Chinese!Pascal, Pensees 203, exhorts:
That passion may not harm us, let us act as if we had only eight hours to live.A question to ponder: If you knew your death was imminent, how would you spend your last eight hours on earth?

A bloody shooting on Kansas City's East Side early Tuesday afternoon left two dead and one wounded.
The three victims were sitting in a red Chevrolet pickup at a stoplight on Blue Parkway near Hardesty Avenue about 1:30 p.m., said Capt. Tye Grant of the Kansas City Police Department.
"It appears someone pulled up and shot multiple rounds into the truck," Grant said.
Investigators found the truck "full of bullet holes," Grant said.
A witness described the suspect vehicle to investigators as a silver Hyundai, possibly a newer model compact, and said that its back window had been blown out by shooters in the vehicle firing back toward the truck, Grant said.
That car last was seen fleeing south on Hardesty, Grant said.
The three victims, all men in their early 30s, were taken to a hospital, where two were pronounced dead. The third man suffered much less serious injuries, Grant said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.

NPA Immediate Past President on MSNBC Nov 14

2 Responses to "NPA Immediate Past President on MSNBC Nov 14"
In watching you comment and your reasons for optimism for the ACA I could not disagree more for the following reasons:
1. The price for coverage within the exchanges for a family of four in the state of Colorado alone is over $1,500/month and benefits within the exchanges can be added to or taken away. Too much risk that I would take as a father.
2. Increasing premiums on existing policies are up over 22% since the ACA was signed and placed into law. Pre-existing conditions are an incredible burden for insurers who have to take on the additional risk and their bond portfolios [about .70 cents per dollar] cannot sustain the unlimited paying of benefits. There is a great concern that some insurers may go into receivership at the State level or dissolve altogether as the current rating agencies [AmBest, S&P, Moody's] continue to measure their solvency.
The concern on the topic of 'Healthcare Reform' seemed to only be settling the argument…Who Should Pay? Well, the above two points sure is not making anything affordable for middle class Americans. Secondly, two areas of this odious Healthcare Reform NEVER addressed the profits of the service providers, specifically hospitals. I feel their profit should be disclosed since they get to benefit from the NOW seemingly unlimited source of revenue flowing into their institutions. Thirdly, it will be shown that the pharmaceutical companies will profit in a big big way as they profit from a form of allopathic solutions instead of homeopathic. Lastly, the FDA [Food & Drug Administration], AMA [American Medical Association], and the AHA [American Heart Association] need to be held accountable as they determine the GUIDELINES and DEFINE what health is. I have two clients who serve on the FDA Board and they both tell me that EVERYTHING is based and determined on a CONSENSUS with very little factual data to support the decision(s) which ultimately become FACT.
In closing, it seems that the ACA ignored many many aspects to what should be defined exhaustively as "Healthcare Reform" and only limited it to the insurance industry and the taxpayer while ignoring [intentionally or not] the other MAJOR PLAYERS in the areas of what truly is Healthcare.
Mr. Lewis,
I share your skepticism regarding the profits of insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and the AMA. The FDA and AHA are more of a mixed bag.
Right now in Colorado as elsewhere in the country there are many uninsured individuals and families for whom a single health event could easily exceed $1500. Research has shown that many people are in debt for exactly that reason. The $1500/month cost you mention is troubling, but costs will actually be lower in Colorado under the ACA than they are now. The fear of losing benefits is actually reduced under the ACA, as the law makes it more difficult for insurance companies to drop benefits.
I have very little sympathy for the bond portfolio of insurance companies whose profits have for many years been large and troubling.
The ACA is by no means perfect and there is much work yet to be done (including costs of care as you allude to), but by opening the door to access for many and by protecting children, women, young adults and anyone who gets sick from various health system afflictions that existed before ACA, this law is a step in the right direction. We must build on it and move forward.

God our father,
we are gathered here to share in the supper
which your only Son left to his Church to reveal his love.
He gave it to us when he was about to die
and commanded us to celebrate it as the new and eternal sacrifice.
We pray that in this eucharist
we may find the fullness of love and life.
O God, who have called us to participate
in this most sacred Supper,
in which your Only Begotten Son,
when about to hand himself over to death,
entrusted to the Church a sacrifice new for all eternity,
the banquet of his love,
grant, we pray,
that we may draw from so great a mystery,
the fullness of charity and of life.
Almighty God,
we receive new life
from the supper your Son gave us in this world.
May we find full contentment
in the meal we hope to share in the your eternal kingdom.
Grant, almighty God,
that, just as we are renewed
by the Supper of your Son in this present age,
so we may enjoy his banquet for all eternity.
Note: In the forthcoming Missal, the use of "sacred supper," "banquet of love," "supper of your Son," and the elimination of the word "meal" obviously changes the character of the message here.

Canada's securities regulators are providing a boost for Canada's Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments, proposing to make it the mandatory dispute resolution service for all registered dealers and advisers outside Quebec.
In a notice Thursday, the Canadian Securities Administrators said a common dispute resolution service for the securities industry "is in the best interest of both investors and registrants and that OBSI is the appropriate choice."
The independent and non-profit Ombudsman has faced significant pushback from the financial industry over the past couple of years. It lost two key members, Royal Bank of Canada and Toronto-Dominion Bank, that are not compelled to submit to OBSI's investigations. This week OSBI also launched a "name and shame" campaign after a number of dealers refused to follow the Ombudsman's recommendations to compensate clients.
Banks are not compelled to use OBSI, and that will not change with the CSA's proposal.
The proposal by the CSA, the umbrella group for provincial securities regulators, would expand OBSI's membership beyond dealers and advisers who belong to self-regulatory agencies. The new members would include all portfolio managers, exempt market dealers and scholarship plan dealers.
Among the reasons for the proposal, OBSI notes, is that it would remove any perception that competition for business among for-profit resolution service providers "might influence the recommendations."
OBSI says more than 600 firms already use the Ombudsman's dispute resolution services. If the plan proposed by the CSA is adopted, that number would nearly double to well over 1,000, OBSI said Thursday.

A company seeking to harvest and sell cannonball jellyfish will be up and running in northern Beaufort County by Feb. 22 — with or without the permits it needs to process its catch at a vacant plant in Lobeco, a spokesman says.
Carolina Jelly Balls LCC intends to collect jellyfish at a dock on St. Helena Island's Jenkins Creek and ship them elsewhere for processing, possibly at a temporary warehouse, according to Steven Giese said.
The company wants to convert former ArrMaz Custom Chemical property into its processing plant but has not yet secured the permits it needs.
But Giese said the company has found the dock site it needs to collect the cannonball jellyfish, which would be dried and shipped mostly to Asian markets, where the food is considered a delicacy.
The company on Monday signed a lease to use the existing commercial dock at 27 Golden Dock Road, near Eddings Point Landing, Giese said. The operation did not need county review because it is zoned and permitted for seafood unloading, he said.
A large, recently laid concrete slab and other renovations were visible at the site Tuesday.
Reaves Brother's Seafood, Fripp Point Seafood and other businesses have previously used the Golden Dock site for unloading seafood, according to signs on the building and business directory listings.
"It's no different than what's been down there for 40 years," Giese said.
However, county planning director Tony Criscitiello says he is miffed that the company did not contact the county before proceeding with its plans on St. Helena.
"If they're doing something, it is without consultation or comment from the county," Criscitiello said Tuesday. "... A conversation with us would be useful. Assuming something often leads to problems because the assumptions aren't correct."
Giese said the dock operation has a Beaufort County business license for the dock and a wholesale seafood distribution license from the state. Both licenses are under Millenarian Trading Co., he said, which is the same name the company used when it attempted to operate in Port Royal last year.
A discharge permit for the site has been applied for with the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, according to spokesman Jim Beasley. However, that application will be considered after a decision is made on a permit for discharge at the processing site. No time frame was provided Tuesday.
Carolina Jelly Balls wants to use the site of the former ArrMaz Custom Chemical property at 23 John Meeks Way, where a number of chemical plants have operated and toxic PCBs have been found. Giese said none of the contaminated parts of the property will be used.
The jellyfish would be dehydrated with a process that involves soaking in a solution of salt and alum. The byproduct would be discharged into Campbell Creek.
Some who live or work near the proposed processing site are concerned the discharge will smell bad and degrade water quality.
The state is also doing a "coastal consistency certification review," which considers the environmental balance of the area, for both sites and permits, Beasley said.
To operate at the site, Carolina Jelly Balls would need to have the property rezoned, but county officials have said that won't happen until more is learned about the operation's impact on traffic, the environment and other factors.
However, that won't delay the launch of the company's operations, Giese said Tuesday.
Carolina Jelly Balls is considering a list of six warehouses in multiple counties for temporary, small-scale processing of the jellyfish. The sites are within a 45-minute drive from the Lobeco property, Giese said.
No permits would be needed, as long as zoning is appropriate, because all wastewater would be trucked out to a treatment facility, he said. All that is needed will be a business license, and inspection and approval by the S.C. Department of Agriculture.
"The delays with the main Lobeco site are really hurting a lot of people," he said, referring to potential employees, fishers and operation stakeholders.
The temporary operation would cost Carolina Jelly Balls "hundreds of thousands of dollars," Giese said, but is necessary to help support the economy of the community.
If you go:
Beaufort County Councilman Gerald Dawson has organized a community meeting with representatives from Carolina Jelly Balls LLC. The presentation will be 7 p.m. Thursday at James J. Davis Elementary School, 364 Keans Neck Road, Dale.
Carolina Jelly Balls will conduct a job fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, 37 Keans Neck Road. Jobs range from seafood laborers ($8 to $12 per hour), cannonball jellyfish shuckers ($8 to $15), fork lift operators ($10 to $12) and supervisors (negotiable).

I like to repair old broken test equipment. I have a small collection (about twenty items) of multimeters, scopes, function generators and some other odd pieces. I got most of them from ebay, broken, and then fixed them to use them. More recently however I have just been fixing them for fun and don't use them much. I have mentioned this before on my blog, when I restored a multimeter from the 1940s (the oldest in my collection). In that case I was focussing more on the wooden case which is unusual for me. I'm usually just doing electrical repairs on them. You can see it here.
Anyway, this post is about my AVO DA116. I did this repair a while ago and almost forgot to post about it. I bought a broken AVO DA116 from ebay. For those who don't know; AVO made a few digital multimeters before the name AVO went away. So far I have three digital AVOs. I now have two of them fully working, the other uses nixie tubes and still needs fixing.
Here is a quick pic of the AVO after the fix.
So, what was wrong with this meter? When I first tested it, I switched it on, but couldn't see anything on the screen. It was as if there was simply no power to the meter at all. I spent about half an hour trying to debug what I thought was a power issue. I was looking through the manual at the schematics (yes this meter came from that era) to try and find where a power fault might occur. After checking all of the outputs of the power board, I concluded that all of the power circuitry was working fine. Then I noticed that the LCD looked rather dark. I almost couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed that the LCD had leaked. If you don't know how LCDs work, go google it now. It seemed that the liquid in this LCD had simply covered the entire screen. You could just about make out the difference between a segment that was on and one that was off if you caught the light correctly. This was the only fault with the meter, I checked all the ranges I could, they worked fine. The only problem was that it was almost impossible to read the LCD.
At this point I thought that it was game over. I'll never find a replacement for that particular LCD. Until this point I had been probing around at the power board at the back of the meter. This is easy to access with the back removed. I needed to get to the LCD to see what could be done. Unfortunately this AVO wasn't designed for reparability. To get to the PCB with the LCD on it you have to cut or desolder some wires.
Once I was in, I found that it was fairly easy to remove the dead LCD. It was sat in a kind of free-form socket with solder on the four corner pins. It took a little effort desoldering but most of the socket pins were untouched. I also found that the LCD was rather large and that if I could get a smaller one with all the same segments on it then I could make an adapter that would allow it to fit in the same socket. So I found some on farnell and ordered five of them. They'll be handy for other projects too and I expected to fail the first time.
These LCDs were slightly shorter and much narrower than the dead one so they could fit on an adapter board. The next step was to make a map of which pins controlled which segments. Then I could use the diagram from the datasheet for the new LCD to figure out how to wire up an adapter board to go between the new LCD and the existing socket.
So, I put the LCD on some pad board along with two rows of headers to match up with the socket. To test the theory that it would work I wired up the common line first and then wired up the minus sign segment to see if I could get that to light up.
After seeing that this worked, I wired up the rest of the LCD. I did this with some really thin enamelled copper wire. It's not the easiest thing to work with when soldering, it took me more than an hour to wire it all up.
I had to make at least one mistake. A dry joint on one of the pins made this segment not light up. An easy fix.
The new screen is almost perfect. I think the decimal points are driven slightly differently and so the contrast is not as good on these segments with the new LCD. It's still easy to read though. With the addition of a small section of grey card I was able to hide the fact that this screen was narrower and would allow you to see the PCB behind it. Now that I had a readable LCD in place, I needed to reconnect all of the wires that I cut to get into the case. I wanted to leave this in a repairable state so I soldered connectors on instead of just splicing the wires in place. This may cause a slight difference in some high current measurements, but I can calibrate it if I need to.
I can't remember how much I paid for it now, but it was fairly cheap as it was sold 'untested'. Now it is fully working and it fits great with my collection. Here are some pictures of the meter after the repair was complete.
