Of the lots of frustrating points that can happen mid-ride, few are more troublesome than the minimal presence that occurs when your glasses mist up. Oakley's new Flight Jacket sunglasses this with a nosepiece that with the flip of a switch raises air flow to reduce fogging.
To turn on higher airflow, you get the switch with your thumb and forefinger and take down. This pushes the lenses better away from your face for better air flow. To press them back into area, you push against the nosepiece with your index finger. Although not special (we recently examined these Kask glasses with a similar function), the layout goes over.
When the glasses remain in not in the fog-fighting setting, the multifunctional nosepiece causes the frame to sit somewhat additional of your face than lots of sunglasses, which likewise enhances air flow listed below the lens. Additional extra padding on the nosepiece makes the Trip Jackets really feel much more comfortable compared to similar frameworks.
Oakley Field Coat Glasses
Great deals of Design and Functions
In the beginning glance, the Flight Coat looks like the next generation of Jawbreaker, however it is rather different. Besides the new nosepiece, there is no structure over the eyebrow, which provides you a larger field of view when your head is tilted down while riding. The overall appearance is quite trendy, if you enjoy that throwback-yet-ironically-futuristic visual. As one of our testers put it: "You have to wear them like you suggest it."
The consensus on the team trips I examined them on was that they looked great as well as are virtually tantamount from the Jawbreaker to an untrained eye. If you're into a much more classic framework, these could not be for you. And unlike the interchangeable lens of Jawbreaker, the Flight Jacket is created to permit a lens to be gotten rid of however is not ideal for switching them out often.
Fit and Lens Options
The glasses are readily available with Cheap Oakley's PRIZM lenses, which filter light and also fine-tune shades to improve information. PRIZM Polarized and also photochromic lenses additionally are available. In total amount, Oakley outlet uses 8 lens as well as framework mixes to pick from. Trip Jackets likewise consist of a set of compatible arms in a shorter size, which I chose to better fit my face as well as helmet. You need to snap them on as well as off, so I did this prior to the trip. It's a good idea to experiment with them initially due to the fact that when you pull the nosepiece toggle, the arms change and might disrupt your headgear.
Because of the added attributes, these glasses really feel slightly much heavier compared to the Jawbreaker and a great deal much heavier compared to marginal glasses like the EVZero. That said, the included comfort assists. I evaluated them on road and also crushed rock where, regardless of some gnarly surface, they remained protected as well as really did not jump up and down on my face. If you frequently ride with a cap, you will not gain from the extended field of view. However otherwise, you'll likely take pleasure in the larger lens.
Trip Coat Flight Evaluating
Getting the hang of the fog-prevention switch is a little challenging. I 'd advise exercising it a few times off the bike prior to attempting to use it on a trip, once you're accustomed, the switch is simple to operate with one hand while riding. And indeed, when fog starts to creep up on the lenses, a fast pull removes it away. In the past, I would certainly have been forced to take my glasses off and also store them in my helmet up until things cooled off.
Along with the Trip Coat, Cheap Oakley additionally established a similar model, the Field Jacket , which has the same air movement innovation, yet with a dual lens for athletes who need a prescription choice.
In general, the Flight Coat functions specifically as meant. If you've seldom had to handle your glasses fogging, then it's probably not worth the financial investment for you. Yet if you locate that fog is constantly plaguing your trips, you reside in an area with unforeseeable weather condition and difficult climbs, or you just like having the most recent equipment with all the bells and also whistles, after that the Trip Coat is a great bet. (As well as if you roll up to the team trip wearing them, expect all your trip pals to ask to try them on.).

Currently, the native smartphone manufacturers have started following a trend of launching handsets online via e-commerce websites. One such company S Mobility follows the trick of releasing handsets on its own online retailer site Saholic.com besides others.
On the same lines, Spice Mobiles has released an entry-level smartphone dubbed as Stellar Buddy Mi-315. The handset is listed on a couple of online retailers including Saholic and Flipkart and is priced at Rs 3,490.
Talking about features, Stellar Buddy Mi-315 flaunts a 3.2 inch capacitive touchscreen display with an unknown resolution (speculated to be 320 x 240 pixels), Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, dual SIM support, 1GHz processor, 256MB RAM, 512MB internal storage, 2G, 3.2MP rear camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 1,400 mAh battery.
Analyzing the specifications, it can be said that the Spice offering without a front camera for video calling and 3G connectivity, is mainly targeted towards budget oriented first time smartphone users. Moreover, it runs on Gingerbread, which is pretty old, while the budget smartphones have started incorporating Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system.
When it comes to competition, it can be that there are several handsets that are launched with similar specifications and at the same price point. Micromax, which is also based in India and looking forward to become the leading handset vendor in the nation is also constantly splashing the market with low priced handsets.
Recently, Micromax launched Smarty 3.0 A30, which also runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system. The handset sports a 3 inch TFT touchscreen display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, 832MHz processor, 2MP rear camera, 256MB RAM, micro SD card supporting up to 32G expandable storage, 512MB internal storage, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 1,500 mAh battery.
On the pricing front, Micromax Smarty 3.0 A30 is available at a price of Rs 3,999, which may be slightly higher than that of Spice Stellar Buddy Mi-315. However, it is important to note that the handset comes with 3G, which is lacking in the latter. On the other hand, the relatively low priced Spice handset comes with a faster processor and batter camera.

Eastside Rugby is always looking for new players of all skill levels. We regularly get both experienced and first time players to our club and both are equally welcome. We'd love to have you show up at any of our training sessions for an introduction to rugby. Our training location and schedule can be found on the Schedule tab.
If you'd like to hear a little more about rugby before coming out please reach out to us using our Contacts page or visit us on Facebook. And sign up for our club email list by clicking on this link (Eastside Axemen List Serve) and filling out the form.
What should You expect?
Your first rugby experience will involve plenty of ball-handling, running, kicking, and drills aimed at developing power, maneuverability, and speed. You'll also learn about scrums and line-outs, the set pieces that are unique to rugby and that seem so odd to the uninitiated. At your first rugby practice you only need to be involved in a level of full contact that you're first comfortable with.
What should You wear?
Most of us wear shorts regardless of the cold, but sweatpants are fine too. Running shoes will work at first but if you have cleats of any kind they are much better.Don't wear anything that you wouldn't want grass-stained or splattered with mud. Once you become a member of the team, you can build your own "kit", including rugby boots, black rugby shorts, and a mouth guard.
Social Aspects of Rugby
Eastside Rugby is as much of a 'club' as we are a sports team. After every match, the opposing teams meet for a 'drinkup', with with plenty of food and beer and plenty of our players will keep that party going throughout the night.
We also sponsor several non-match social events throughout each year. These include both fundraisers and informal get-togethers. Our club includes members who are players and who are supporters. No other team sport has quite the same spirit of camaraderie as rugby!
Club membership requirements and cost
If you are coming to your first practice you don't need to worry about fees and dues right away, not until you play your first match, but before you can be a playing member of the Eastside Rugby you need to meet the requirements of a union player. A Union Player is defined as a player who will practice with the club and play in any of the Union Matches. Union Matches include all Friendly and Division Matches under PNRFU (the Pacific Northwest Rugby Football Union) and USA Rugby, as well as any summer 7s tournaments.
Member Player requirements
- Be current with dues payment
- Be a member in good standing according to club bylaws
- Have a signed waiver on file with the club
- Be registered with USA Rugby through the CIPP Process
- Dues for Union Players may be paid through subscription at PayPal.For those in financial circumstances that make paying yearly dues difficult, the Board of Directors can approve abatement of dues on a case-by-case basis. We want everyone who's interested to join us in having a great time playing rugby!
USA Rugby Registration
In the United States, the sport of rugby union football is overseen by USARugby. To play competitively with any local rugby union you must be a member of USARugby.
USARugby registration is not included in club dues. We separated the USA Rugby Registration fee from the dues to be able to take into consideration our members who are social rugby players and supporters. USARugby CIPP registration is completed directly through the USARugby website. Included with USARugby CIPP you will receive health insurance that is good for any injuries incurred during any practice or USARugby sanctioned event.

I walked to work this morning, which I haven't done in several weeks. Pregnancy (or trying to become pregnant) for a woman involves so many preconceptions and misconceptions about what your body is supposed to be like, and how you are supposed to take care of it, what you should or shouldn't eat, how much exercise, on and on. That mentality does tend to drift to the husband, in my experience. Realistically, there is little I can do to my own body to help with this process, but I can't help but think that I ought to be doing the things she is doing. Maybe I'm trying to set a positive example, or perhaps I'm just moving toward the ideas of the person I love.
Think about sympathetic weight gain. With one or two notable exceptions, every man I know has gained weight along with his wife during the pregnancy process, unless she was prone to a great deal of exercise. Then the baby is born, and poof, (some of) that weight is gone, but not for the guys! Considering I'm already over where I probably should be for mobility's sake, the last thing I need is another 10-20 pounds. At least this time, I won't be waking up in the middle of the night to take care of the new baby; thank goodness for that!
Mandy says we should be finalizing plans very soon for our trip to Cali in another two weeks; I do hope I can manage to take care of my job in the midst of all this personal business. Still, this will be the most I have spoken to GG about anything, so this will be a big step for me. Not that I don't already have opinions! Mandy has just seen fit to communicate them herself :P

A couple of weeks ago, I was sitting at a local Buffalo Wild Wings watching the second round[1] of the NCAA tournament when something happened that shouldn't have, yet did, shock me. Just as a tournament game was winding down with the outcome very much still in doubt, every main TV in the restaurant was changed to the pre-game show for the Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Milwaukee Bucks. While the college game didn't have any relevance to the Cleveland area, it was a postseason tournament game. On the other hand, while the Cavs/Bucks game was a relatively inconsequential regular season game, yet if something has the word Cleveland stamped on the front, it's basically gospel in this part of the state.
This singular event got me to thinking — which American sports city is the easiest to hate? My hypothesis was the usual suspects (Boston, NYC, Chicago), combined with cities featuring teams that have rivalries with teams I like (San Francisco, Pittsburgh) and Cleveland. Because holy hell this city's sports media is obnoxious.
In making my list, I assigned a 10 point scale to the hateability factor of the city's fans, media, NHL, MLB, NFL, and NBA teams. Sorry soccer fans, the MLS isn't relevant. If a city has more than one team in each sport, I averaged the scores across the teams for the rating. Additionally, I added in the hateability of local college teams. To qualify, the college team had to be within 50 miles of the major city in question, with two notable exceptions due to the Media Fellatio Coefficient (MFC)[2]. To qualify, cities must have at least two major sports teams in their metro area. Apologies to Columbus, Ohio[3], Lexington, Kentucky[4], and Jacksonville, Florida[5].
The top ten of my list is below. Keep in mind that this list is completely subjective, but still right.
Honorable Mention: Kansas City (4.67 hateability rating), Charlotte (4.67), San Francisco/Oakland (4.80), Atlanta (4.86), Washington D.C. (4.92)
#10 – Miami (5.17 hateability rating)
Miami likely wouldn't even make this list if LeBron were still there. His heel turn to leave Cleveland and go to Miami was one of the single most hilarious moments in recent sports history. But with LeBron leaving, so did all of the Heat's fans, which is pretty easy to dislike. Miami was initially just outside of the top ten after all pro team scores were calculated, but adding in The U made Miami a clear winner over Washington D.C. and Atlanta.
#9. St. Louis (5.29)
The more I think about St. Louis' place on this list, the more I feel like I might have underrated how easy it is to dislike them. Sure, the Blues are tolerable, there are no college teams of consequence in the area, and the Rams aren't as disliked as they once were. But considering how Cardinals fans exhibited themselves to protesters in the wake of the Ferguson protests (not to mention the whole "Best Fans in the World" moniker they falsely hold), having St. Louis only ninth on the list seems low.
#8. Dallas (5.54)
As soon as I tweeted that I was writing this post, I got multiple tweets at me telling me that Dallas is the most hateable city in American sports. If this were a most hateable teams contest, I'd completely agree. The Dallas Cowboys are one of the top five most annoying sports teams globally (New York Yankees, Chelsea, Ohio State, the Cowboys, and the Pittsburgh Steelers), but the rest of the DFW sports teams aren't actually that bad. The Stars have awesome jerseys, the Mavs have Dirk and Mark Cuban, and the Rangers…just sort of exist? Remove the Cowboys from Dallas' score and they're barely a top 15 city.
#7. Detroit (5.79)
Have you met a Detroit Tigers fan? Not only do they think their team is god's gift to baseball, they think that people actually care about baseball.
#6. New York City (6.08)
This might be the first ranking to come out of nowhere for some people. Yes, NYC's media and bandwagon fans are terrible. But here's the thing: outside of the Yankees, what team from NYC can you really hate? The Knicks, Mets, and Nets all suck. The Rangers have arguably the greatest goaltender of his generation in net. The Devils and Isles haven't been relevant to be hated. Can anyone name an NYC area college good at sports other than St. John's? Similar to Dallas, NYC's hateability is dragged down by a lot of semi-likeable teams.
#5. Pittsburgh (6.14)
If Pittsburgh had a better national media presence, they'd be the runaway winner of this competition. The Steelers have had exactly one likeable player (Antonio Brown) since the Chuck Noll era, the Penguins are headlined by two stars with extremely punchable faces, and Pittsburgh fans are not afraid of reminding you of how many championships they have. And yet, it's hard to dislike Pittsburgh completely because you never hear about them unless they're in a title game. Plus the Pirates sucked for twenty years without being annoying about it…but more on that in a moment.
#4. Los Angeles (6.70)
Even without a professional football team, Los Angeles manages to get a top five spot on this list. Call it the Jim Rome effect. Los Angeles fans constantly whine so much about East Coast Bias in sports media that they've actually created the opposite impact to a certain extent. Add in the fact that the Kings are a borderline dynasty, the Angels and Dodgers spend like the Yankees, and the Lakers still have Kobe, and it's easy to see why LA isn't a favorite of most sports fans.
#3. Cleveland (6.86)
So that thing I said about the Pirates being bad without being annoying about it? Cleveland is example 1A of how not to do that. No titles since 1964? Talk to any Cleveland sports fan and you'll hear about it for hours. They make heroes out of otherwise mediocre players (Bernie Kosar, Chad Ogea), run great players out of town (Jim Thome, CC Sabathia), and give up too early on players with potential (Cliff Lee, Dion Waiters). Let's not forget about the MFC factor in Cleveland, where Ohio State (which is in Columbus over 150 miles away) will preempt pretty much anything else because the media thinks that they're amazing. The only things that keep them out of the top spot are that two of their three teams aren't THAT annoying[6] and that LeBron is so likeable.
#2. Chicago (7.22)
While the Cleveland Browns had Draft Day made about them, the original movie about an unrealistic thing happening to a crappy team no one likes took place in Rookie of the Year, where a 12-year-old kid makes the Cubs relevant again. Like Browns fans, Cubs fans struggle at losing with dignity, and aren't much better when their other teams win[7]. Add in MFC powerhouse Notre Dame[8], and a very hateable Blackhawks team, and you've got a despised city on your hands. The Bulls and White Sox save Chicago from being the top city on this list…but only barely.
#1. Boston (7.29)
I grew up around a family with split sports fandom. In football, everyone passionately rooted for the Browns or Steelers. In college sports, it was Ohio State or Michigan. In baseball, it was the Indians or Reds. But there was more to life than sports for them. Plus, there wasn't a battle for hockey or basketball at the time, so I got a bit of a reprieve there.
Dealing with Boston sports fans and teams is like dealing with my family 24/7. It's not that any single Boston team is that awful, it's that all of them (except the Bruins) would be a top 5 annoying team in their sport. Combine that with a national media that oversaturates the Boston/NYC rivalry and fans who thoroughly enjoy shouting their perceived superiority from the rooftops, and you have a combination that makes Boston the most hateable sports city in the United States.

Arrested in Newport Beach for Public Intoxication
3 Things to Know: If You Were Arrested in Newport Beach for Public Intoxication ("Drunk in Public")
The city of Newport Beach is a unique place in Orange County. It's both a tourist destination for those who live far away and it's a highly visited place for those who live locally. So it's no wonder that where people spend quality time with one another, sometimes you can have one-too-many and spend the night in jail. That's why it's important to know a few things after you've been arrested in Newport Beach for public intoxication because you will want to navigate the legal landscape for obvious reasons. To learn more about public intoxication charges in general, you can read about it here: Public Intoxication.
1. Your State-of-Mind is Evidence, Try to Preserve It
This might come as a surprise, but it's not necessarily illegal to be intoxicated in a public place. If that were the case, nobody would have a glass of wine with their dinner in Newport Beach or anywhere else for that matter. But like many public intoxication cases, the one who was arrested has a hazy memory–but not THAT hazy. Virtually every client our firm speaks to still has a strong recollection of events and can recount many details of that night (or day). So the best way to direct your lawyer in building a stronger case for your defense, it helps to gather details from as many sources as possible to put the pieces together. If you don't remember the exact place or moment when you were approached by the police officer, maybe your friend remembers. Additionally, if the encounter took place nearby a specific restaurant or business establishment you are familiar with, evidence such as third-party witnesses or surveillance footage could also help.
2. Location of Arrest Matters
Some wonder why being drunk in public is even a crime. One of the stronger arguments is based on putting oneself in danger of harm. Newport Beach is a high traffic area with a lot of foot traffic. Public safety concerns are plentiful. So just like a jay-walking ticket or a DUI, it's not always the public you are putting in harm, but yourself. That makes it a punishable offense worthy of arrest. So for the same reasons above, your memory of the area you were arrested in will have a significant effect on whether you can beat the charge because your proximity to others and traffic is a big factor.
3. Will the Arrest Show Up on a Criminal Record?, it Depends
Criminal records are complicated. To see just how complicated, you can read about them here: Criminal Records, What is a Criminal Record?
Since this article is specific to being arrested in Newport Beach for public intoxication, this can cause a peculiar circumstance. The Newport Beach police department has it's own jailing facility. It's designated for local arrests that do not always necessitate a full-scale booking process like that of the county jail. Therefore, as a local police department with it's own record system that is separate and apart from the county of orange, their criminal arrest history doesn't flow through the same data channels. To learn more about arrest information and how this may come out in the future, follow this article: Arrest on a Background Check.
As for the criminal charges that could eventually stem from this arrest, that creates a separate question that is different for everyone when it comes to the type of background check that will be done in the future. A person's profession, type of license, industry, and work/home geography all come into play when it comes to what will be discovered and what will be reported. A court docket produces a new trail for public record research companies to compile and store that information for future use. A more detailed discussion on this topic can be read here: Criminal Charges on a Background Check.
If you've been arrested in Newport Beach for public intoxication, there can be a host of things that can be done to avoid conviction, find alternative remedy, and preserve your criminal record from being tarnished too harshly. To see how your unique circumstances may fit into an over all criminal defense strategy, we encourage you to contact our office for a detailed consultation.
Where you Arrested in Newport Beach for Public Intoxication?
Regardless of what stage you are in, whether the arrest happened very recently or you have already appeared in court, we encourage you to learn more about how this event could effect your personal or professional life. We would love to hear about your case and see if we can help.

About SUP Shack
Trudie Ransom knows just how addictive the sensation of standing above the waves can be. After just a few trips out on her board, she not only began training with the standup-paddleboarding master Andy Whitman from Angulo boards, but also opened up SUP Shack. From her experience shadowing Whitman, she decided the best way to introduce people to the sport was with Angulo's soft, 10-foot boards, which serve as an easy surface to learn on while spending a day on the waves or taking one of the shop's classes or tours. Classes never contain more than six students, allowing each student to have the one-on-one attention needed to master the art of balancing and maneuvering the board. Once pupils are sure of their strokes, the shop's instructors lead guided tours that slip out across the rippling blue mirror and past the sights of the harbor or tackle the more advanced paths past sea-lion habitats. Late-evening tours pause as the sun sets over the ocean, filling the sky with color like somebody inciting peacocks to riot.

Usually I do my reviews on my other blog, RnR Reviews, but I decided they might be more fitting here.
Most recently, I went and saw Funny People with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Leslie Mann. I'm not usually an Adam Sandler fan, but my husband wanted to see G.I. Joe; and I was not about to sit in that sausage fest, so I decided to go see something else while he partook in some childhood fantasy. Honestly, timing wise, I didn't have a lot of options and thus, I was left with Funny People.
The one thing that gave me some hope going in was knowing that Judd Apatow had written it and I knew I'd liked some of his other stuff, Pineapple Express and Fun with Dick and Jane being a couple. Mind you, this was a small hope. After seeing this movie, however, I know the name Judd Apatow does not equal quality.
Talk about sausage fest, I have never heard so many references to men's junk as I did in this movie and I wish they said it that nicely. The language was just fowl and unnecessarily so. I mean some fowl language would have been fine, but this was overkill. Even James Taylor had a fowl mouth in this movie. That's crazy!
Once you get passed the language, which is hard to do, the movie didn't seem to have focus. It was like a man's idea of a heartfelt, meaningful drama and it missed the mark BIG time. I mean I shouldn't want the character to die, but I kind of did, especially toward the end. It was over two hours long and it felt like six. I don't know what the point was, but it made me question whether I should have seen G.I. Joe instead.
Usually I do my reviews on my other blog, RnR Reviews, but I decided they might be more fitting here.

Bear hugs at Holden Village
We made our annual pilgrimage to Holden Village over Labor Day weekend. This year's expedition included Steph, Kendall, Stella, Frances, Sandy, Elsie, and myself. The weather was perfect, if a bit on the cool side. We took several kid-friendly hikes, saw some bears, ate our share of good Holden bread, and met Senator Maria Cantwell, who was also staying at the village. All in all, a very fun weekend.
We really missed going last year. The village was closed due to forest fires in the vicinity. This was Elsie's first trip, and she clearly loved being there. It was very fun for her to have Frances and Stella to play with. I managed to get a short video clip of the 3 girls hamming it up, so I'll make a valid attempt to post that in the coming days. In the meantime, I am putting an album of photos on my photo gallery page. Be sure to check it out.

Are we ready, should the big one hit again?
Sort of.
Governments have increased their stores of emergency supplies, in some cases threefold over last year. Florida Power & Light Co. is girding its network in hopes of fewer outages, yet concedes massive blackouts still are likely. And a growing number of service stations and grocery stores have hooked up generators, but will open only if employees can navigate through debris.
The biggest question is whether residents are prepared. Hurricane season begins Thursday, and new guidelines call for people to be self-reliant for five to seven days, up from the previously recommended three.
Government can't rescue everyone, emergency managers say, explaining the more demanding standard. After the busiest, most destructive season on record in 2005, forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say atmospheric conditions are ripe to produce an above-average number of hurricanes. They predict eight to 10 hurricanes will develop this year, and two to four of those could strike the U.S. coastline.
The main factor, forecasters say, is warm water that shifted to the region where storms are spawned. It has resulted in above-average activity in nine of the past 11 seasons. Also, wind shear is expected to be light, a requirement for tropical systems to form.
"People have to be able to take care of themselves," said Craig Fugate, Florida's emergency management director. "If the expectation is that somebody is going to do it for you, you're making a big error."
Surveys show that after being clobbered by eight hurricanes in the past two years, Florida residents are the most prepared in the nation. Gerald Steen, 83, of Oakland Park, for instance, started to buy canned goods in early May.
"By June 1, I will have everything ready," said Steen, a former merchant marine.

La collana Charta Roma comprende molti titoli e si articola secondo un piano editoriale suddiviso in diverse tipologie di prodotto
The official map of Roma Capitale
Two city maps in one. One on the front and the other on the back. The publication was designed specifically to meet the needs of visitors to Rome. The front features a three-dimensional rendering of the city with various monuments, views and sights of Rome to be visited by tourists. The back provides a more extensive street plan. The map indicates streets, squares and many strategic points (railway stations, underground railway stations, parks and gardens, and other locations rarely featured in normal maps). Also included are a street guide, a map of the Eur district, a map of the underground and surface rail lines, a map of the new traffic plan for the Imperial Fora (Fori Imperiali) and a map of Ostia.
"New Charta Roma" is in English and Italian (colour-printed on quality matte-coated paper).
Size specifications: open 64 x 88 cm, folded 21 x 15 cm.
Yearly print run 360,000 copies.
Price per copy € 1.50
More than 2,500 years of history have made Rome a unique site of world interest.

The city offers a thousand different attractions for tourists arriving in the capital from all over the world.
Maps translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic offer travellers information on many aspects of the city: from short tours for discovering the city's best-kept secrets, historical and cultural treasures, useful information or fashion and sport.

A handy guide with eight itineraries for excursions in the heart of the city, and much, much more!
This guide, in Italian and English (parallel texts), provides readers with an overall idea of the geographic area and of the city's sights of historic, artistic, architectural and cultural interest. The guide, published to supplement the "New Charta Roma" map, is a uniquely comprehensive guide. It indicates traditional excursions for visitors interested in art and architecture and provides special interest information for children, and on shopping and wining and dining, plus advice and titbits of information. Supervised by an expert guide, this work targets a 'mixed bag' of tourists (students, backpackers and businesspeople on a quick visit to the city). The price means anyone can buy this guide.
The "Charta Roma Guide" is colour-printed and contains many illustrations (printed on matte-coated paper with laminated cover and sewing thread binding).
Format: 10 x 19 cm, 96 pages and 100 illustrations.
Yearly print run 20,000 copies.
Price € 2.50 (VAT paid by publisher)
Rome's seaside resort
On the front is a map of the town of Ostia − with a focus on the port and esplanade − just 30 minutes from the centre of Rome. While foreign tourists rarely include Ostia in their list of must-sees, it is popular among Romans as a nightlife resort. Ostia provides tourist services during both the summer and winter periods.
Many events take place in Ostia throughout the year. On the back of the guide is a list of the bathing establishments and the stretches of beach which can be enjoyed free of charge. There is also a larger map of Ostia plus indications of the ways to reach the town (the urban and underground rail system, or Ferrovia Metropolitana, and links to and from the Leonardo da Vinci airport, Rome's outer ring road (GRA), and the motorway routes to and from Rome and Civitavecchia).
"Charta Ostia", in Italian and English, is colour-printed (quality matte-coated paper).
Size specifications: open 47.5 x 33.7 cm, folded 11.8 x 16.5 cm.
Yearly print run Charta Ostia 10,000 copies.
Price of Charta Ostia and Charta Ostia Antica in cellophane pack, sold together: € 1.00
The cradle of civilization
The map of Ostia Antica presents the remarkably well preserved ruins of an ancient city, founded in 396 BC. The map, in Italian and English, is entirely dedicated to the archaeological area. It provides descriptions of the ruins and points of historical interest. The drawing of the excavations is numbered according to the key provided on the back of the map, with corresponding historical and cultural notes on each point of interest. Charta Ostia and Charta Ostia Antica are sold together (the publication's technical specifications are identical). The idea was to draw tourists' attention this major touristic and cultural heritage asset in the neighbourhood of Rome.
"Charta Ostia Antica", in Italian and English, is colour-printed (quality matte-coated paper).
Size specifications: open 47.5 x 33.7 cm, folded 11.8 x 16.5 cm.

I hope that you all will forgive me for putting all of these pictures in here, but I "got happy" with this new DSL Internet connection, and I really wanted you all to be able to "see" how the farm looks right now! Because of all of the pictures, I have less wording (or more like the same amount just spread out)--in this newsletter. I hope that you'll be able to get a good idea of how things are going with this update!
We are having a great early Spring season! We're pretty sure that we are past any damaging cold weather--which is one of Springs two major weather concerns--the other seems to be cooperating better than usual as well--the soil moisture--It's been allowing us enough time for planting, weeding and harvesting! Our produce is mirroring the great weather with lots of new growth--see below for details!
Thanks to all of you for supporting our farm--we hope that you enjoy the Spring--and our produce!

This Week In Pictures!
Here we are getting ready to plant a BUNCH of our Brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, kale etc...) by getting the flats outside near the field. In the background the tractor has a 55 gallon barrel drum full of water to "water in" the plants.
After several months of waiting we finally have Spinach coming up (and in great abundance)! Altogether we have more than 300 feet of three foot wide raised bed!
A picture of some Broccoli in the foreground, and Green Onions in the background.
Our Chard is doing pretty well--we hope to have it in our CSA share boxes this weekend!
The Mustard greens are doing wonderful!
Our lettuce mix is always a hit at the farmers' market--here is a picture of a 120 foot long bed of it.
And a close-up shot of it (I love our new DSL connection!)
Turnip Greens in a bed.
Kale close-up
Our main bed of kale
Our Beet Greens are almost ready to harvest!
The bed of Arugula!
And a closeup of the Arugula.
Vetch--this little fellow is one of the best cover crops available! He adds nitrogen and "green manure" to soils which gives a great boost to vegetable crops!
Summer Squashes coming up!
Snap Beans are coming up too!
This patch of ground is full of Potatoes! Right at 3/4 of an acre, it is the largest patch of potatoes we've raised to date!
With the blackberries blooming we are almost certainly done with our cold weather! We are tickled as it has been one of the best Springs for vegetable production in years!
This is our new Maryville Farmers' Market vegetable hauler! When you see it it will most likely have lost the pin striping and wacky looking running boards! The only reason we bought it is that it gets 20 miles a gallon and Astros are dependable and roomy.
Practically another Astro, we also bought this little GMC Safari for hauling produce--this one will be used for the Market Square Farmers' Market and restaurant/grocery store deliveries.
In our raised beds we have some kale growing--it is almost full size!
Also, we have Cilantro coming along!
As well as dill--hopefully within another week or two we will have these herbs at market!
Our chives are blooming! These are one of the prettiest little herbs that there are! Hopefully we will be able to put these in our CSA shares soon.
Baby Butterhead is coming along!
It is really neat to watch asparagus poke its head through the ground! This stuff grows fast! These will probably be 4-6 inches (harvestable size) in another day or two!
Our garlic beds--we've never raised garlic before, so it is exciting to see them grow! They are already almost calf high! We are watching for the little "scapes" to show up, and will be having them at market when they do!

The wine is tight with a strong mineral element over the acidity. It shows a sense of chalky terroir, full of red-currant fruits and a nervy aftertaste. It will take some time to fully develop, so wait until 2023.

HALTADEFINIZIONE® Takes Part in the Realisation of an Extraordinary Exhibition "Impossible Visions - Botticelli, Leonardo and Raffaello: New Technologies to Enjoy Art"
- 1 March 2012 -
"Impossible Visions - Botticelli, Leonardo and Raffaello: New Technologies to Enjoy Art", scheduled for the period 29 February - 11 March, at the National Science and Technology Museum in Milan, is an exhibition involving a strong emotional impact, which will be innovative both in terms of organisation and contents.
The leading role will be played by the 1:1 scale reproductions of some of the masterpieces symbolising our artistic culture, exclusively produced by HALTADEFINIZIONE®: Botticelli's "Allegory of Spring", "Birth of Venus" and "Madonna of the Magnificat", Leonardo's "Annunciation", "Baptism of Christ" and "Portrait of a Musician", and Raffaello's "Marriage of the Virgin". Thanks to the installation of innovative technological instruments, the public will be able to "travel" inside these works of art and discover extraordinary pictorial details, which would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye.

100happy List of the Week.
By Iris Jones.
On a rainy October day like today, things to make you happy may include jumping in puddles or eating stodgy comfort food (I'm thinking bangers, mash and gravy sounds appropiate and delicious). It also seems like a good day to make a list - a list of all the things you want to do and WOULD do it only you had the time. Things to do in order to better yourself. Because how can you change the world for the better if you aren't satisfied with yourself?
'People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly.' - Andy Warhol
1.) Learn to cook.
To help me, I have chosen my friend Lianne's blog, Everything Goes With Toast. And I will begin with potato skins stuffed with leek and bacon because that seems like just the right sort of food for today.
2.) Learn to bake.
To help me, Katiecakes has lots of delicious looking pictures. And Dudes With Beards Eating Cupcakes too obviously.
3.) Learn to draw.
My next door neighbour Hannah says that drawing can be taught, and that if you already follow other creative pursuits and have a good eye for things, you can learn to draw well if only you put the time and effort in.
Hannah, by the way, is a brilliant artist and some of her work lives here.
4.) Learn to speak French.
To help me, I listen to French Radio London which sounds very nice in my country cottage, but while I hope in time I'll become fluent just by listening to it, at the moment, a zombie apocalypse could be announced and I wouldn't know any different.
Incidentally, the French for 'living dead' is 'morts-vivants'. See what a beautiful language this is? This is why I must learn it immediately.
5.) Learn to play an instrument.
I recently made a pact with my friend Kate that we would learn bass guitar. Personally, I would pick up my drum lessons again. I wonder if this virtual drum kit can help?
6.) Learn to take better photographs.
Because there's always something new to learn about what you already do.
Spilling Light is my favourite photography blog.
7.) Learn to be good and happy.
And for that, like everything else, I can learn from the greats. My friends and family.
And from one blog in particular, run by one of the most good people I know: Our Invincible Summer which teaches me on a daily basis that being happy is really a very simple concept that comes from very simple ideas. The same ideas that led to 100Happy.
'The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.' - B.B King
Make your list. Nothing is too frivolous or ridiculous to go on there. For example, my secret number 8 is 'Get pilots licence'. Enjoy.

We can learn French together if you like? And I can teach you to read music :)ReplyDelete
Also, if you come to my house we can be dead twee and bake cake together. Then eat it all and have 'splodey bellies. Yes.

Business Analysis and Value Targeting
We identify, validate, and prioritize value-creation opportunities to achieve across-the-board advancement.
Service Overview
World-class organizations constantly challenge their business models to maintain a competitive advantage and deliver incremental value to their customers and stakeholders. Achieving and maintaining competitive advantage requires an organization to continually assess its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
To appropriately assess performance, it is necessary to consider multiple perspectives including customer, internal and external viewpoints (e.g., competition, industry, technology and regulatory considerations). This 360-degree view of organizational performance ensures that challenges and opportunities are appropriately understood and prioritized in the context of broader industry and competitive positioning.
Centric has developed a full suite of business diagnostic and analytical techniques to assist organizations in identifying, validating, and prioritizing value creation opportunities. We have worked with small and middle-market organizations, as well as within divisions of large Fortune 100 companies, to assist with business analytics and value targeting efforts. Our experienced management consultants bring a strong mix of industry, strategy, operations and financial experience to assist our clients.
Service Capabilities
Centric's capabilities in this area include:
- Market Analysis and Competitive Benchmarking
- Voice of Customer Analysis
- Cost Structure and Value Driver Analysis
- Internal Business and Operational Assessments (Processes, Organization, Technology)
These capabilities can be leveraged either one-off or via an integrated business diagnostics and value targeting approach as illustrated below.
Each of our capability areas are described in more detail below:
Market Analysis and Competitive Positioning
Understanding external business drivers and market/competitive positioning is critical to stay ahead of the competition. Regulatory, industry, competitive and technology changes can create opportunities or threats to an organization. Centric leverages industry and market research data, along with specialized data collection techniques, to help identify and categorize key business drivers and trends in these changing areas. We then work with our clients to analyze and characterize drivers in terms of near-term vs. long-term, positive vs. negative impact and degree of impact. Finally, we help assess implications to the organization and prioritize the importance of each business driver.
Voice of Customer Analysis
Gathering voice of customer information is crucial to understanding customer perspectives on current performance and future customer needs / desires. Staying close to customers and implementing a process to continually capture and analyze customer information is a key part of this process. We work with our clients to gather and analyze customer data in a structured and objective manner. This can be done through a variety of techniques including mining existing data, customer surveys and detailed customer interviews / focus groups. We then help organizations distill key findings and incorporate them into other assessment and strategic planning activities.
Cost Structure and Value Driver Analysis
Organizations typically have a wealth of financial and operational data to draw upon to analyze performance. This data is typically made available via various business intelligence and data warehouse solutions. The challenge, however, is how to appropriately structure and analyze the data to identify key performance issues and value drivers. Centric helps solve this by leveraging various analytical methods to identify and prioritize value drivers such as value tree analysis, value stream mapping and product / customer channel analysis. Sensitivity analysis can then be applied to model and determine which drivers offer the "biggest bang for the buck." The findings can then be overlaid with internal and external assessment findings to help validate opportunity areas.
Internal Business and Operational Assessments (Processes, Organization, Technology)
A company's processes, organization structure, personnel and technology solutions collectively define how work gets accomplished and value is delivered. World-class organizations are constantly reviewing current performance and effectiveness of core operational areas to identify issues and improve performance.
Centric has developed a comprehensive methodology and approach for assessing performance and maturity levels of operational areas including sales and marketing, operations, customer service and shared services. We take both a quantitative and qualitative approach to our assessment work. This includes performance base lining and benchmarking, process analysis, management interviews and working sessions in order to gain a better perspective of performance and identify true root cause issues. We then bring all these findings together into an assessment summary that articulates key issues, opportunities and recommendations by operational area.

Talk about a nice raise. The three stars of CBS' The Big Bang Theory are getting big bucks, according to Us Weekly.
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco have signed new three-year contracts, Deadline reports. Each will get $1 million per half-hour episode for the 72 remaining episodes expected in Seasons 8 through 10, more than triple what they currently make per episode: $325,000.
Authorities say a man was arrested at Jay Z and Beyoncé's Rose Bowl concert in Southern California after allegedly groping a woman and then biting off the tip of her boyfriend's finger during a fight.
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports that 25-year-old Roberto Alcaraz-Garnica of San Diego was taken into custody Saturday on suspicion of sexual battery and mayhem.
Pasadena police Lt. John Luna says Alcaraz-Garnica was accused of groping a woman in her 20s. When the woman's boyfriend confronted him, a fight broke out. Luna says that during the altercation the suspect bit off the tip of one of the boyfriend's fingers.
Alcaraz-Garnica was held with bail set at $100,000.
Susan Sarandon's Manhattan home was burglarized Saturday night, People reports.
Among the items stolen were a camera, a laptop and some of the actress' jewelry, the New York Police Department confirms. Sarandon, 67, was out of town; however, her son Miles Robbins, 22, was at the house Saturday and stepped out for the evening between 8 and 9 p.m., authorities say.
When he returned about 3:30 a.m., Robbins realized someone had been inside the home and called police.
On AMC's Mad Men, Christina Hendricks plays Joan Holloway, a onetime secretary who finally made partner at a Manhattan ad agency.
The role is a great one, but in a recent interview with The Guardian, Hendricks says her agency told her to turn down the part.
"[My agency] said, 'It's a period piece, it's never going to go anywhere. We need you to make money and this isn't going to make money.' They ended up dropping me."
Hendricks and her manager both loved the role of Joan, though.
"I had been on several shows that were meant to be the big ones, that would go on forever, and they didn't. So there was no sure bet, and I'd already taken a chance on them, and I felt, why not do the one you're in love with and take a chance on that?"
Sylvester Stallone may come across as the ultimate guy's guy, but he says action stars like him are "the hardest characters to sell" to other men.
"Men are very competitive," Stallone said ahead of Monday's world premiere of The Expendables 3, which opens in the United States Aug. 15. "They go, 'Who's that? I'm sure he takes diuretic steroids, you know, he's shorter than he looks.'
"It's very hard to do it. People think 'Oh, it's really easy,' " Stallone said. "It's good to jump around, but to get other men to like you, it's very difficult."
The third installment of The Expendables sees the teamcome into conflict with a ruthless arms dealer, played by Mel Gibson. Harrison Ford and Wesley Snipes join the cast of action legends.

A Gentle and Supportive Approach
If your child is under the age of 4, it is likely that your little fish will fuss for the first few lessons due to separation. Parents are asked to get in the water with students age 2 and under for the first few lessons. It is normal for them to cry during their first lessons so do not get discouraged. Cry ng, anxiety, and fearfulness can be expected of beginning swimmers and therefore, our instructors are trained to use a gentle and supportive approach to introducing them to the water. Your coach will do everything possible to make the lesson both enjoyable and productive and sooth your swimmer.

The top-seeded Thomas More College women's soccer team won its seventh-straight Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament today (Friday, November 3, 2017) as it defeated second-seeded Grove City College, 2-0, in the championship match at BB&T Field in Crestview Hills, Kentucky.
Thomas More improves to 15-4-1 and receives the PAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Division Championship Tournament. The tournament field and first/second round locations will be announced on Monday on www.ncaa.com. The Wolverines fall to 15-5-0.
The Saints took a 1-0 lead at the 7:05 mark when first-year midfielder Hannah Dargo (Maineville, Ohio/Kings) scored off a cross by sophomore forward Kristina Felix (Burlington, Ky./St. Henry).
Thomas More added an insurance goal in the 85th minute when first-year forward Ashley Maples (Springboro, Ohio/Archbishop Alter) found the top left corner of the goal for the final score of 2-0.
Sophomore goalkeeper Maddy Kim (California, Ky./Notre Dame) earned the shutout win as she played all 90 minutes and had 15 saves.
Grove City out-shot Thomas More 18-11, including 15-4 on goal as the Saints found the back of the net twice.
The championship title is the Saints' eighth overall and first under head coach Kim McGowan.

Taking your own photos for a project? If so, then let us offer some tips on getting the best quality image out of your camera and onto your printed materials. The following are a few things to remember when taking your own photographs for a project.
First, remember to adjust your camera settings to shoot larger and more quality photographs. An electronic image is at its best printable quality at 300 DPI, or Dots Per Inch. 300 DPI allows us at JPA to not only print crisper and cleaner images, but gives us a bit of leeway if we have to adjust or resize the image. In most cameras the medium to high setting will obtain this DPI, but it is best to refer to your camera's manual.
The second thing to remember is the importance of good camera orientation. Landscape photos, or photos that are taken with the camera held normally, and portrait photos, which are pictures taken with the camera on its side, can drastically effect or confuse a rather simple project. As a general rule, If you're unsure if the picture you are taking is going to work as a landscape or a portrait you should shoot as a landscape. From a design perspective, a landscape picture is 10 times easier to make into a portrait than the other way around.
Finally there is the issue of the files themselves. If you are supplying photos and have been using a photo manipulation software like Photoshop, then it is in your best interest to save the files as Tiffs. When your digital camera takes a picture it saves that picture as a Jpeg. Jpegs are an acceptable file type for most editing software, however they are compressed files and every time they are opened and resaved they lose a bit of quality. Tiffs are uncompressed and can be manipulated without losing any image quality.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland - Representatives from International Federations gathered to learn from leading experts, and each other, during the seventh annual IF Forum last week in Lausanne. More than 250 delegates attended the sessions designed to deliver the latest insights on social media and event management, the two chosen themes of this year's event.
"The seventh annual IF Forum was an outstanding success," said SportAccord President Marius Vizer. "This yearly gathering of the International Federations provides a special occasion for them to learn from each another. The delegates from our member organisations once again showed a strong spirit of cooperation in sharing insights on the two important themes of social media and event management, in a friendly atmosphere of genuine solidarity."
The SportAccord President added: "We would like to express our gratitude for the participation and opening speeches of the IOC President, Thomas Bach, as well as Town Councilman Marc Vuilleumier, representing the city of Lausanne. This also marked an important moment in Olympic history - signing the partnership agreement between ANOC and SportAccord. The event was closed with President Seikh Ahmad al-Fahad al-Sabah's speech on the topic, also addressed in President Marius Vizer's opening speech. The President of SportAccord had congratulated the new President of the IOC, wishing him good luck in the new position and expressing his wish that the new president reforms and modernizes the Olympic movement."
Created in 2003 by SportAccord, the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations and the Association of the International Olympic Winter Sports Federations, the IF Forum is an event designed expressly and exclusively for the International Federations, whose representatives share knowledge in a series of conference discussion and workshops. The event is organised by SportAccord Convention on behalf of the stakeholder organisations.
The next major gathering bringing delegates of all the international federations together will be the 12th annual SportAccord Convention taking place from April 6-11, 2014, in Belek/Antalya, Turkey.

Comment - LOW/
"I just wanted to take a second and say that I love reading your blog. It always makes me smile. I'm almost sad now that I got my other job before I had the chance to interview with you."
A little back story to this, a few months ago I was interviewing for an assistant and the person that left this comment applied and we just never could match up our schedules for her to actually interview. So now the question is, how did she know about LOW? It's not like it's hard to find, Google my name or alot of other things and you will find it. But I never knew that people really took the time. I do, but I guess I didn't know people are like me.
I'm extremely glad to have received a comment from her, now I feel some sort of expectation.

Gone are the days where people were really struggled a lot experiencing the now and then power cuts, whole day power shut downs and more. But now, the fashion has been changed. Now, people have an alternate source called inverters. Yes, they can use inverter in order to overcome the power failures, shut down, demands and many other things. These days, they do not have to bother even if they are about to experience the whole day power shut down. Since, they can get the continuous power supply from the inverters. Inverters are the precious gift the technology has given us to meet the power cuts accurately.
We can buy inverters, but still we cannot buy the power inverter Philippines in a random fashion or just like that. Instead, we have to consider a lot more things. First of all, you have to know your needs. That is, you should be clear of where you are going to use the inverter. The battery size and capacity of the inverter should be decided according to your needs and requirements. If you are going to use the inverter for your home, it is enough to buy the inverter with a medium sized battery that can supply power to operate a pair of light and fan.
If you want to use operate a computer as well along with a pair of light and fan, you have to reckon buying the inverter which can meet your demands with its battery. That is, you can buy 15kva inverter if you want to operate all the electrical appliances including fans and lights. If you are going to use the inverter for industrial needs, you have to use more than two inverters and blend it. That is, two or more inverters should be connected in a line. Since, a single inverter will never do the needful to your needs.
Warranty and guaranty are something that you have to deem without fail while buying the ultimate power inverter. Some inverters may be damaged sooner due to some technical faults or other reasons. In such cases, if you have a year warranty for your inverter, you can replace the damaged inverter with the new one at zero cost. If not, you have to spend your hard earned money for buying another inverter. Maintenance of the inverter matters a lot. You have to maintain the inverter to the point. Buy the inverters which demands less maintenance.
