Expected a lot more from this.
Suppose it's difficult to beat Citizen four, but wow that was awful!
7 nines is 3.2s a year...
ive been at cloud expo today and heard some shit, but wow this tops the shit-o-meter
Tee Hee - dont buy into these shitty startup ideas.
The fact they designed it in the first place to not work without their servers online should have been all you needed to know.
Use HomeSeer and then bolt on anything you need.
Even if they go bust - it'll keep on trucking within my lan
A fool and his/her money are easily parted.
There is a music producer called plastician, his early music went under plastikman which suffered the expected trademark infringment letter hence the name change. he still has material uploaded to youtube by someone else who has claimed ownership and no matter what he tries - will never see those royalties.
Google / YouTube arent interested.
Similar to the nonsense going on over on soundcloud where signed artists have been banned for uploading their own music. insane.
The music industry also seems to think its going to solve their problems
Cant see how though...
why would you host something more complicated on an ISP server?
There really is no reaosn for an ISP to offer hosting, or even email come to think of it these days.
Such build up to this launch, fingers crossed for friday!
I need to know how many bottles of wine fit in a double decker bus - to check my figures, natch
it would be amusing if she wasnt actually in charge of things and able to force this crap on people.
Dangerous moron!
this has been an issue in the guise of Install ALL or Install NOTHING as well
Trying to explain to a CEO that you can no longer "just install outlook" or "just put word 2013 on" is impossible and causes friction alround!
Ahh life in the cloud
What part of town are you from, as round my way Asda and Waitrose are as polar opposite as its possible to be.
Very disappointed you didnt order the full 40ft RORO to deliver said important graphics.
Including full road closure for a mobile crane to offload the shipping container, and then a range-rover led escort from the container to the boozer.
I'll be taking another look then, as the site i nearly bought from said no SD.
generally not bothered as long as it can play a video without stuttering.
i dont game...
Had to agree with your round up of the year in phones, there are no winners - except the manufacturers. Find it harder and harder to justify a new phone as i get older and with them all at circa £5-600 its a no from me.
Started looking away from the flagship models at the end of last year and was quite taken with the honor 7 but storage and battery stopped me
this is a contender....
I would be more able to stomach this crap from BT if they actually offered some sort of decent service, but their offerings are usually chronic.
-Whats that?
-Its the sound of a beancounter being ejected from a window head first
Dont like the increases? They are letting you leave... more than TalkTalk offer - just sayin.
Also - when you've left, what do you replace it with? BT or BT via reseller? No way in hell are they coming back into my house.
For the service i get from virgin they are in my good books.
although i never have to call them (i know that is painful - but then so is calling talktalk for clients)
I also dont use their super hub, so im probably not a typical user.
Yeah alight, the last time i did that i got told why i was wrong and why i should just trust the government, delivered on some of the most expensive looking (and feeling) stationary ever to grace my letterbox.
Wasted hours, achieved nothing.
Democracy in action.
Call them what you want - home automation has prevented at least one break in (attempted) that i know of at my place.
Just added sensors to my external doors so the system knows when someone is coming or going and can then turn stuff on or off. Very useful when coming in legless at 4am.
But during the day when no one is in, it knows someone is standing at my front door for more than a minute not ringing the door bell (hidden cctv camera), so it can turn a tv or radio on, and the hall light.
Turns out the guy was picking my front door lock - as soon as the light came on he scarpered.
HD Photo sent onto the police - he didnt return.
Thanks Homeseer :)
Fabulous - i now have a handy link instead of explaining why not to go with TalkTalk.
and this is why Sonarr, Sickbeard, SickRage and Couch Potato are doing so well of late.
8TB NAS + Kodi (XBMC) or Plex = WIN
Oh you also forgot about their Drama offering...
Utter, utter, scum.
fairly interested as to how the 02/3 deal will work out, as far as i can tell the networks are non-compatible currently?
Three has great internet but expensive calls
o2 has cheaper calls but the infra is awful and barely works most of the time.
Combine the two, shit internet and expensive calls i imagine will be favored over cheap calls and fast working internet.
many charities have better infra than banks these days.
my latest move has been a breath of fresh air
And hasnt the EU recently mandated all new cars are net connected to report accidents as of this or next year?
No wonder the mobile networks are creaking at the seems...
have to agree with the man here, i refuse to pay for any streaming service.
they screw artists and fans at the same time.
listening on your phone earphones sure you can deal with low quality to a certain extent, but play anything on decent speakers at any reasonable volume and you need as high a quality as you can get, ideally studio master quality, data is cheap, why the hell cant i have it?
Completely sensible suggestion for 48k 16bit flac as standard from an above comment.
As a DJ i refuse to deal with anything less than a WAV file, but it seems the shops are using this as a way to extract even more money out of me now, looking at you beatport. £1.20 for a track, but want it as flac or wav, oh add another £1.85 on top. Bastards.
Try playing a 128k mp3 on a 80kw funktion one sound system and see how that goes down...
"customers were not happy when they discovered they would have to buy a whole new product for it to work with HomeKit."
Ccannot stop laughing, if you are stupid enough to go in for Apples abuse you deserve everything you get

Fair play to you "20 Something". Any anti-bbc comment gets such a strong reaction here.
I've just hit my 30's and have never found use for the BBC beyond:
Top Gear
BBC News for Election Coverage
Olympics & Wimbledon
I pay the license fee, begrudgingly, but it needs to go.
I'd pay per service or per show happily, but not given that option.
And knowing people who work at the beeb, it is infuriating to watch my money pay for their jollies!
Radio could be stripped back to half of what it currently is with no noticeable reduction in service, same with half their TV offerings. The shows just dont stand up to the US Cable equivalents.
Over the last 12months i've started watching around 10 new TV Shows, the only UK one was dropped after one episode, they are light years ahead in terms of original programming.
Bring on the down votes!
Sad to watch, but as has been said they learn from every fail and keep on trying at fantastic pace.
Here's to next time!
Seems nasa were more public about this launch, but don't get where the "unhappy" comment came from.
Also, i blame Microsoft. natch ;)
so as a non-previewer, but with varying versions of windows 7, 8, & 8.1 - some OEM, some bought outright - i've clicked the flag to download Windows 10 on release - is this free or not?
Genuinely no idea anymore.
Loved season 1, but two started a bit slow, but ended on such a high just like the first!
Each episode makes me literally laugh out loud, something that has been missing from TV Comedy for so long!
Very glad theyre back for season 3
Its non-sense, but i like it!
still waiting on Android Pay...
I really don't understand peoples obsession with the bbc, yes i know fox news is awful, but so is the beeb! I'd rather not read (or pay for) any of it.
Wheres that option?
Will be purchasing this as soon as its generally available
Pebble v1 was a truly exceptional device, i have no doubts this will follow suit.
All round goodness for a change!
Too true.
Isn't technology wonderful!
Great effort by all involved, sad they had the initial issues as was watching it live at work, beer got in the way of watching 2nd time round.
Bring on the next try!
This stuff is still so ten years ago, and the reason for this is because no one seems to be learning from the people that have come and gone over the last 25+ years of automation tech.
X10 was ok, Z Wave blew it out the water
now we seem to be going back to lots of propriety systems in places i would never trust them!
Monitor by front door by all means as an input device, but a z wave lock etc? Get out of town!
Cant imagine my home insurer would be particularly happy about me ripping out all the 5 lever locks
I say this all as someone who has had home automation in the house for years, most of the CES stuff is just plain backward, and won't exist come this time next year.
Still using my Motorola Xoom 1, battery life goes in 6 month cycles of being piss poor, then okay again.
I only use it at the end of the day when on the sofa or in bed to control the tele and stumble about the web.
Im reminded how useless it is, when i take it on the road though.
Constant charging required to watch anything on it.
I wanted to upgrade it for christmas, but just didnt happen. I'll use it till it dies....
Great news, keep it coming!
Thanks to both above posters!
Love my Pebble, have worn it nearly every day for 2 years.
Highly recommended device!
When will they learn....
None of this would be an issue if they just gave consumers the choice to consume how they want to.
One size does not fit all!
that last tweet deserves something... im not sure what, but possibly a lot of it!
Still the best service by a mile in my area (and all areas ive lived in since leaving home)
Not had to call them in over 5 years
Very interesting read - more of this please!
Had a few clients infected with this due to bad on the ground security practices, deleted the lot and restored from online backup. Business as usual after a slightly extended lunch break...
Do feel sorry for home users who got hit though, i heard of someone who lost their dissertation, no one but his own fault for no backup but still. Ouch...
had to take 3 cab journeys this week and thanks to a stuck up colleague it had to be a black cab.
Cue 20 minutes of being told how awful Hailo, Uber etc are and how brilliant black cabbies are, how helpful and pleasant they are (as we were thrown all around the back of the cab thanks to his ducking and diving) in each journey.
the last cabbie just ranted constantly from start to finish in a massively racist fashion about all the pakistani's driving addy lee's, how they have to use sat nav (when he had one as well) - i will never give money to these morons ever again, needless to say my colleague returned in her own cab, whilst i got an Uber, guess who arrived back first and paid less..... yup... me
also reported the cabbie for his racist views, i doubt i will hear anything back about it though as it sounded like his brother on the other end of the phone.
Needs more Pliers!

Known as the "Pearl of the Sonoran Desert", the quaint desert city of Caborca in the Mexican state of Sonora, is a short drive south from Arizona. Over three centuries old, Caborca is rich in culture. It was originally founded by a Spanish priest, but is known as Heroic Caborca, for the valiant stand its townspeople made against the American invasion in 1857.
Today, nearly 100,000 people live in this small city, but the cultural heritage is conserved by the local indigenous groups -- the Yaqui, Seri, Mayo and Papago -- and is still visible in Caborca's various petroglyphs.
Set in Sonora's Altar Desert, Caborca's irrigation and natural wells sustain the city's agricultural sector, which produces asparagus in the winter and grapes in the summer.
A short drive from Caborca are several beach destinations, including Puerto Lobos, Los Tranques, Santo Tomas and Las Salinas. Visitors will find 74 miles of coastline perfect for fishing, water sports and relaxation.
The Oasis Hotel & Villas is a modern hotel in Caborca with 36 guestrooms, a restaurant, bar and terrace, as well as an event hall that comfortably holds 60 to 100 people for meetings. The El Camino Motel has 30 guestrooms, as well as an outdoor pool, restaurant, and a meeting room with space for up to 120 people, perfect for presentations or banquets.

Funny thing, this social media stuff. It doesn't take long to go from a newbie to potential how-to case study. Just ask the good folks manning the keyboard at Lambert St. Louis International Airport.
STL joined Twitter earlier this month, and as recently as yesterday was slowly growing its following, helped in part by the typical welcomes from fellow airport tweeters.
Last night at about 9PM, things changed–and @flystl foreshadowed it with an informative tweet about severe weather warnings.
At 12:47AM, word came through via Twitter that the airport was closed.
The rest is well-known–a tornado was confirmed, and one report had more than 2,700 buildings in the city damaged. The airport's @flystl feed has been one of the primary sources for getting information out about the airport's status, press conference information, flight information from airlines, and the like. As of this post, @flystl has pushed out 40 tweets since its inception–about half of them have come since the storm hit. Followers stood at about 180 this morning (reciting this from memory, as I checked out the page first-thing but–my reporter skills apparently long gone–failed to actually take notes) to about 851 as I type this; the count will probably hit 1,000 by the time I actually publish the post.
Twitter has been an integral part of STL's communications strategy–but only one part. The airport's website was updated quickly and regularly (and included a reference to pushing information out via Twitter), its Facebook page featured updates (including photos and video), and press releases started going out early this morning.
From afar, it looks like Team STL is doing a tremendous job communicating key information via various channels. Let's hope the recovery effort goes well enough so they can get back to pushing out the more everyday stuff real soon.
Meantime, here's a pretty solid post from Edelman's Dave Fleet on tweeting during a crisis. Lots of informative stuff related to customer service via social media on his blog, in fact.

AO-16 Status Update April 10, 2008 Hello All, AO-16 continues to operate well in its new voice configuration as follows: Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM Downlink: 437.026 MHz DSB (LSB and USB) After several months of continuous illumination, AO-16 is again experiencing short periods of eclipse. Recent telemetry indicates that the spacecraft temperatures are decreasing a bit as a result. As the eclipse periods of AO-16 continue to increase in the coming months, we must continue to monitor the spacecraft power budget. Spacecraft control is now limited to the Microsat Boot Loader (MBL). Therefore, the power budget of AO-16 is managed by varying manually the output power of the transmitter. Users of AO-16 are encouraged to report any aberrant operations by either posting to the AMSAT-BB or by emailing the command team at email@example.com "Aberrant operations" might include the following: complete loss of signal from the spacecraft or significant change in the transmitter frequency. We are grateful to see significant activity on AO-16! On behalf of the command team, Mark L. Hammond, N8MH _______________________________________________ Sent via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mipcom Junior kick starts in Cannes
CANNES: The winds were gusty and howling at Canne?s Le Croissette on the eve of the flag off of Reed Midem?s Mipcom Junior market at The Hotel Martinez.
One could see some summer wear during the warm day giving way to protective gear such as cardigans and sweaters as late evening grew. Would the response to this year?s Mipcom Junior be as cold as the cold evening wind?
The fear proved unfounded even as night gave way to day. This morning the sun shone bright and while it was breezy, the nip in the air was not as cold. In fact, it had given way to warmth and sweat was seen streaming down executives? necks even as they got down to focusing on two days of trying to understand what kind of programming will be on offer globally for young international TV audiences during the coming season.
Pilots and finished series for half hours, and movies - both animation and features - were slated to be on offer. Programme acquisition executives from television networks and channels, distributors and sales people from production houses from countries as diverse as US to Hungary to Spain to France were all seen scurrying around.
The mood was extremely businesslike with the screening booths witnessing rapid activity as buyers made their bookings for VHS from the library of what they wanted to watch even as a young Frenchman dressed up as Pink Panther kept going around in the lobby of the Hotel Martinez keeping everyone distracted.
Prominent in the lobby of the Martinez was also the Licensing and Merchandising Lounge which had representatives from Cinar Entertainment, MGM, Warner Brothers, among others displaying their wares in order to strike deals to put their characters on products ranging from text books to shoes to clothing to toys and what have you.
Today?s major gigs were slated to be the opening conference (at 15 hrs Cannes time) on Licensing and Merchandising moderated by License USA editor-in-chief Joyceann Cooney. The two main speakers for this chat session were slated to be 4Kids Entertainment Chairman and CEO Alfred Kahn and Warner Brothers Consumer Products Executive Vice President Worldwide Marketing Jordan Sollitto. This was to be followed by an opening cocktail at the same venue.

Motorola has yet another soak test on its way out, this time for the DROID Bionic smartphone. It is perhaps the mysterious 5.9.902 update we heard about previously? It's highly unlikely this update is the anticipated Ice Cream Sandwich update you owners are yearning for, as the DROID RAZR/RAZR MAXX would likely be the first MOTO phones to see the ICS update, so it's probably the 5.9.902 update. Word on the street the mysterious update is finally headed out to the beta testers as early as tonight. Stay tuned with Talk Android for any updates on this update.

Image backup recommendation - need incremental support
Hi all,
Although I have searched the backup and restore thread I didn't find a solution to my problem.
I have been using windows image backup for some time now (I learned the hard way that you need an *image* backup to restore a failed *system* drive) which is scheduled and works fine.
My problem is that it takes about 50 minutes to run, during this time the pc is unusable due to backup eating up all resources. Since my system disk is basically not changed (profiles are in another disk) I need a backup solution that would do incremental or differential backup (basically it would backup the differences every time and not the whole system partition every day). Such a backup would probably complete in 2-5 minutes and I could run it many times per day instead of once.
Requirements in detail:
1) I need a windows solution and not a "boot with cd, load linux and take image" thing (like ghost).
2) It should take image backup from inside windows (ie after a restore you should be able to fire up the system, not reinstall windows on top of the restored files)
3) It should be able to be scheduled in task scheduler.
4) It should be able to work in an incremental mode.
Many thanks for your ideas! :)

Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
I don't know of any free solutions but the paid one I use, Macrium Reflect Professional Edition, would probably meet your needs. It supports incremental and differentintial backups (as well as full backups, of course). When using it on my notebook, which also has only two CPU cores and has only 4GB RAM, I barely can tell when Reflect is running full blast, if I can tell at all, while running other apps. My desktop rig is much more powerful and I never can tell when Reflect is running. If you are really working the snot out of your machine, Reflect can have its priority reduced so other processes have first crack at the available capacity.

Red Arrows announce anniversary tour dates
The Red Arrows have announced details of their tour programme for their 50th display season.
The team will also have a new tailfin design to mark the anniversary.
It features a Union flag, outlines of their Hawk aircraft, and outlines of the Gnat jet previously used by the aerobatic display team.
The programme includes 85 displays in nine different countries, including Spain, France and Belgium.
Highlights in the UK include appearing at a D-Day commemoration event in Portsmouth and a performance on home ground at the Waddington International Airshow.
The Reds will also perform at the Isle of Man TT and the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The Red Arrows team was founded in 1965 at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, where a major celebration is also planned at the 2014 Royal International Air Tattoo.
Since forming the team has performed more than 4,500 displays in 55 different countries, including a recent first time display in Kuwait.
Squadron Leader Jim Turner said: "We hope to entertain the public with the programme this year and hope the quality of the display lives up to the finest traditions of past teams."
"Ever since their first performance, the Red Arrows have promoted the excellence of the Royal Air Force and its skilled, well-trained people," he added.
Two Scots, Flt Lt Stewart Campbell and Flt Lt Joe Hourston, from the Borders and the Highlands, are the team's newest members.
Flt Lt Hourston, who served in Afghanistan, said: "The 50th display season in 2014 makes this a particularly special time to arrive.
"Since day one of deciding to be a pilot I've always wanted to be a member of the team because of what it represents and the variety and challenge of the flying itself.
"It's wonderful to be part of this team and, in turn, help inspire people to consider a career in the armed forces and also promote UK plc."
On completion of a three-year tour with the Red Arrows, the pilots either return to the frontline, instructional or staff duties.

Cart for a Cause's launch with Alex Becker of Nobu was an overwhelming success, raising over $4000 in less than four hours. The chef served up gourmet boxed lunches of his finest concoctions from the charity's food truck parked behind the UTA building. It's probably the only food truck in town that has suited agents standing on its line to eat lunch out of a box on the ground (we have pictures to prove it!), but hey, it's Nobu. And it's for a great cause. Proceeds from the $10 meals go to the St. Vincent's Meals on Wheels program.
Cart for a Cause is back (every Tuesday through November) with today's lunches courtesy of David Myers and Dong Choi of Comme Ça, who have created two exclusive menu items for the occasion. The truck will be parked at the Pacific Design Center from 12pm-2:30pm, but be sure to get there early as there are only 150 meals available, and no cutsies!

I won't buy a product online from a company with a bad website. You probably won't either. It's because a poorly executed website makes us question the reliability of the site, the security of the site, and perhaps most importantly, it makes us question the validity of the brand itself.
Which is why I was surprised to see that one of the most respected brands in business today, Berkshire Hathaway, has a REALLY BAD website. In fact, I'm not sure how you could come to any other conclusion, as evidenced by the screenshot below.
A quick check of the Wayback Machine shows that the site has been essentially the same for the last 13 years. This would say to me that Berkshire Hathaway is a company that doesn't understand the value of their corporate website. The design hasn't evolved, the content is sparse, and the technology is outdated. In fact, the most advanced feature on the site is a section for the sales of Berkshire Hathaway activewear, which has been around for 13 years, too!
It would be easy to explain this lack of focus on the site as a reflection of Warren Buffet's investment and life philosophy, which stresses basics and simplicity over extravagance. But I would argue that the Berkshire Hathaway corporate site is not an extravagance. In fact, it should be an essential part of further building value for Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. What surprised me most was that they've known that shareholders are the most important audience on the site since it launched in 1997. You can see that represented in most of the features, such as letters to the shareholders, meeting reports and even activewear. Yet the site has stayed the same while the world changed.
Here's how to redesign the Berkshire Hathaway site in simple ways that will make it a shareholder destination worthy of the brand that Warren Buffet has built:
- Create New Shareholder Communications
Aside from the standard items shareholders expect, like annual reports and SEC filings, Berkshire Hathaway has an opportunity to create more unique communication opportunities with shareholders. They already have some interesting things like letter from Warren Buffet, and the "Owners Manual." Yet I think that Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger have an unique opportunity to communicate more regularly with shareholders about the company, as well as their investing philosophy. Clearly both of these guys should at the very least have a blog. In fact, I think you could turn the whole site into a blog and it would be a vast improvement.
- Adopt Shareholder-Centric Technology
Why not explore moving beyond PDF downloads for letters to shareholders? Part of having a shareholder-centric mentality is catering to their technology preferences. Today's investor is used to attending webinars and watching videos for quarterly earninings. They are spending time on a Kindle or iPad. The class A or B Berkshire Hathaway shareholder surely indexes much higher for these devices and smartphones. Start simple by creating mobile and iPad versions of the site, and delivering Buffet's "message to shareholders" via video.
- Create Two-Way Communication with Shareholders
The best way to do this is through social media, of course. Berkshire Hathaway does not have a Facebook Page. With all of the time spent on thought leadership within the company, a social community would be another way to provide much shorter communication with shareholders, as well as a great way to tap into shareholder concerns and questions. Think of having a weekly "question" for Warren or Charlie.
I understand with all the money coming in, Berkshire Hathaway might want to pay a dividend, and they should. But I would propose setting a modest amount aside to update their digital presence. Warren Buffet won't invest in a company unless it's been around for 10 years. By that math, I think the website is past due.

It is no reach so that you can think the crew creating the 2018 toyota camry turbo, merely disclosed with the 2017 Detroit automatic show and also certain with regard to dealers september, needed to deal with some intense efficiency anxiety. That they experienced the liberty afforded because of the fresh toyota Completely new International Structures (TNGA) platform, symptoms this Americans are moving forward to help abandon mid-size sedans, along with the veracity which the current, inoffensively you Camry has actually been advertising nicely irrespective of market trends.
The c's, thankfully, wasn't only likely to pay intended for refined nips along with tucks; CEO Akio Toyoda features needed much more exciting, mixing patterns prices within his aim to purge the actual uninteresting vehicles from toyota Generator Businesses lineup.
"It is not magic formula that I enjoy entail myself personally in the style procedure," explained Toyoda, that built the actual display business presentation on the new 2018 toyota camry turbo himself. "This company may possibly think of it as anything else."
So gets there this 2018 toyota camry turbo vanished wild, by having an just considerably more toned-down variation of the apparently with their sci-fi-inspired look in which definitely makes the design of your current Prius and so polarizing, along with many of the sketching of which invites a two bottle bring in the upcoming C-HR crossover. The 2018 toyota camry turbo is a great -inch of your 2017 style around length, but toyota hasn't produced towards the cross-over market by making the newest Camry tall or more upright. They have essentially eliminated the opposite technique; your cover is definitely 1.6″ reduced, and also the roofline is less by 1.2-inch. This permit automaker decrease a passengers'seating altitudes an inches in-front as well as 1.2-inches around back. The front seat designs are resculpted, as the cowl, beltline, plus the dash diet happen to be low, adding to some more open up feel in the cabin.
The 2018 toyota camry turbo new dash really does apart using hmo's segmented Big t design in favor of a more capturing design and style, drawing encouragement from home furnishings although targeting a sculptural insides coupled with much more enjoyable detailing. Mixed colors along with tones about the interior go outside the past monotone themes.
Outside of performances, toyota phone calls the actual TNGA program of which underpins this 2018 toyota camry turbo "your structural change action for the complete enterprise which will lead to cars that will are more energetic, fitness, in addition to fun to help drive." What's more, it states that, with the brand new building blocks, "motorists will certainly see the dramatic improvements inside the initial few moments involving driving." Due to the fact prior age group with the 2018 toyota camry turbo improved therefore quietly, what a strong pronouncement. Nonetheless, based on the higher level of improvement we've got viewed in the most recent, fourth-generation Prius, a common design to be able program in order to make it to generation until now, we're going to take it seriously.
To enhance the brand new framework, this has a reduced facility connected with gravity. toyota takes the 2018 toyota camry turbo in the brand new chassis-tuning area by way of ditching the particular struts throughout the rear for any multilink revocation create, whilst your four-point engine-mounting technique must help to keep the particular cottage practical experience easier and quieter.
Perhaps the greatest surprise with this, in order to gearheads, is that toyota nonetheless hasn't already slaughtered the V-6. toyota features subbed around the newest direct-injection 3.5-litre model due to its flagship 2018 toyota camry turbo. The camp 2.5 liter Vibrant Compel inline-four incorporates a greater pressure relative amount, the diverse cooling system, multi-hole one on one injectors, along with varying control device time, and toyota states that it'll have better electrical power along with torque scores, even though it has never yet specified individuals figures. Additionally, it claims better gas productivity when compared with the confident motor the exact same displacement, along with incredible fourty percentage arctic efficiency. A whole new eight speed auto tranny, with speedier and even more important moves, ought to increase the risk for V-6 in addition to four-cylinder types much more enjoyable.
2018 toyota camry turbo cross versions will also get a version of the newest 4-cyl, and they need to have increased powertrain drivability with their constantly variable automatic transmissions set to mimic a six-speed intelligent, with exercise shifters contained in the SE model. It's possible there could be numerous battery configurations as well, just like the Prius.
toyota states increased ergonomics and three interlinked next-generation display screens. On some types, which will add a 10.0″ shade head-up screen, a 7.0-inches multi-information present, and an 8.0″ display for sound, navigation, and environment get a handle on that is remove with the guts system and features a smartphone-like interface. That comes via the new Entune 3.0 program, that offers 4G LTE predicated on vehicle Wi-Fi for up to five mobile phones, plus new remote-connect features and an application suite at all trim levels. A better nine-speaker JBL advanced audio system updated for the 2018 toyota camry turbo's cottage components today carries a 10.1″ subscription and Clari-Fi engineering for squeezed audio, which will be virtually any audio you might be listening to nowadays.
The toyota Safety Feeling program includes a pre-collision warning with pedestrian recognition, lane-departure warning with steering help, and intelligent large supports, plus flexible cruise get a grip on and a backup camera. It is going to be common on all 2018 toyota camry turbo; blind-spot tracking and cross-traffic attentive are available on some models.
The 2018 toyota camry turbo comes in 4 trim levels: SE, LE, XLE, and XSE. The XSE & SE get a set of Sport appearance improvements that exceed trims and finishes, with toyota developers targeting variations that could be identified from 200 yards away. Modification systems tend to be more attractive, entrance and rear bumper models are different (with a diffuser listed below and a trunk cover top up above in back), and the face includes a more exaggerated, aggressive look with the exact same catamaran model lower bumper decorations that toyota has applied elsewhere, to blended results. They'll also obtain a mesh grille and smoke-tinted back mix bulbs, with 19 inches dark machined-finish aluminum wheels reserved for the 2018 toyota camry turbo.

Rush Copley Medical Center
Home > Services We Offer > Neurosurgery > Conditions and Procedures > Herniated Disc
The intervertebral disc is made up of strong connective tissues which hold one vertebra to the next and acts as a cushion or "shock absorber" between the vertebrae. The intervertebral disc is made of a tough outer layer called the annulus fibrosis and a gel-like center, the nucleus pulposus. As we age, the center of the disc may start to lose water content, making the disc less effective as a cushion. As the disc deteriorates, the outer layer can also tear. This can allow displacement of the disc's center through a crack in the outer layer, into the space occupied by the nerves and spinal cord.
A herniated cervical disc may press on the nerves and cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arms and shoulders, as well as neck pain.
A herniated lumbar disc can press on the nerves in the spine and may cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness of the legs, as well as back pain.
In addition to your symptoms, a herniated disc can be diagnosed on physical exam by your treating Primary Care Physician or Neurosurgeon. Your physician may have you obtain diagnostic imaging to aid in confirming the diagnosis. An X-ray image can show bone spurs and narrowing of the disc space as the spine ages and deteriorates. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans provide more detailed pictures of all the spinal elements (vertebrae, discs, spinal cord, and nerves) and can identify most disc herniations.
Non-Surgical TreatmentDepending on the severity of your symptoms, a course of non-surgical treatment may be prescribed by your primary care physician or neurosurgeon. This typically involves a combination of medications, physical therapy, and epidural steroid injections.
Medications that are typically prescribed include pain medications to help with your symptoms as well as anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, to help decrease inflammation around the nerves in your spine. Occasionally other medications such as Lyrica and Neurontin are prescribed to help with nerve pain.
In addition to medications, a physical therapy program may be incorporated as a form of non-surgical treatment. A physical therapy program usually begins with stretching exercises to restore flexibility to tight muscles in the neck, trunk, arms, and legs. Depending on your response to physical therapy, stretching exercises may progress to cardiovascular exercise and strengthening exercises for your arms, legs, and trunk muscles.
Epidural steroid injections may also be prescribed and involve injection of corticosteroids into the area around your spinal cord and nerves in order to reduce inflammation.
Surgical TreatmentFor patients whose pain does not improve with non-surgical treatments, surgery may be necessary. In addition, surgery may be indicated urgently if you have significant weakness or bowel/bladder symptoms. The goal of surgery is to remove the portion of the disc that is pushing on the nerve (discectomy).
Depending on the location of the herniated cervical disc, the operation may be performed from the front of the neck (anterior approach) or from the back of the neck (posterior approach). Because removal of the herniated cervical disc fragment from the front removes most of the disc as well as the herniated portion, a fusion is typically performed to stabilize the spine. During a cervical fusion procedure, a bone graft is placed between cervical vertebrae to support the spine and compensate for the bone and discs that have been removed. This is followed by placement of a small plate and screws that hold the spine together while it is healing and fusing.
A discectomy is also the surgical procedure performed for a herniated lumbar disc. In order to see the disc clearly, it is usually necessary to remove a small portion of the lamina, the bone behind the disc (hemi-laminotomy). Only the portion of the disc that has herniated out is typically removed. Unlike cervical discectomy, fusion is typically not performed, unless there is recurrent disc herniation or evidence of instability in the spine. The bone and ligaments overlying the nerve root may also be removed to create more room for the nerve – a procedure called foraminotomy.
Discectomy is a very effective procedure in relieving arm and leg pain, and is less effective for neck or back pain. Some numbness may persist after surgery, depending on how much damage to the nerve already occurred from the disc herniation. Weakness typically improves as well, especially if it is not severe and has not been present for a long time.

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) reports that CEO compensation at major US corporations dropped a bit to 271 times the average annual pay of the average worker. EPI reports that, "While the 2016 CEO-to-worker compensation ratio of 271-to-1 is down from 299-to-1 in 2014 and 286-to-1 in 2015, it is still light years beyond the 20-to-1 ratio in 1965 and the 59-to-1 ratio in 1989."
Much of CEO compensation is based on stock options. Boards of Directors offer CEOs stocks at certain prices. So, for example, if a CEO is offered stock at $5 a share, and the price rises to $25, the CEO can purchase a high number of shares at $5 and turnaround and sell them at $25 a share. So who signed the legislation that brought this about? Why, none other than Wall Street President Bill Clinton. See Bill Clinton Created Terrible Corporate Loop Hole–New Republic.
Naturally, stock options have led CEOs to outsource and export jobs at higher rates than they normally would, which in turn, has led to much of the income inequality we experience today. Depending on whose figures you use, the 1 percent now steal anywhere from 23 to 37 percent of all income produced in the USA, up from 8 percent in 1980. This inequality of income, and also of wealth, continues to grow. Thank you Bill!
According to the report, "Over the last several decades CEO pay has grown a lot faster than profits, than the pay of the top 0.1 percent of wage earners, and than the wages of college graduates. This means that CEOs are getting more because of their power to set pay, not because they are more productive or have special talent or have more education. If CEOs earned less or were taxed more, there would be no adverse impact on output or employment. Policy solutions that would limit and reduce incentives for CEOs to extract economic concessions without hurting the economy include:
- Reinstate higher marginal income tax rates at the very top.
- Remove the tax break for executive performance pay.
- Set corporate tax rates higher for firms that have higher ratios of CEO-to-worker compensation.
- Allow greater use of "say on pay," which allows a firm's shareholders to vote on top executives' compensation.

More than 1,000 MƒA Teachers Active in Over 400 New York City Public Schools
Press Releases | September 7, 2016
NEW YORK, NY, September 7, 2016 – Math for America (MƒA) today announced that its fellowships now include 1,043 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) teachers who teach in 411 New York City public schools. While the annual attrition rate for experienced STEM teachers across NYC is nine percent, only four percent of MƒA Master Teachers leave teaching each year.
"As our fellowship program continues to grow each year, we add outstanding teachers to our community who inspire not only their students but other teachers as well. Almost three-quarters of MƒA teachers work in high-poverty schools," said John Ewing, MƒA President. "At a time when teachers leave the profession at an alarming rate, the MƒA Master Teacher community keeps the most accomplished in the classroom by changing the way they experience the profession. It makes teaching exciting and rewarding."
Both new and experienced teachers leave the classroom for many reasons ranging from lack of respect to higher paying alternatives to feelings of isolation and disengagement. Yet MƒA teachers remain in their jobs for longer than other teachers. MƒA fellowships provide teachers with a range of resources and opportunities to excel, hone their craft, and take control over their own careers, giving them the respect they deserve in an esteemed profession.
With the 2016 incoming cohort of nearly 200 K-12 public school STEM teachers in NYC, MƒA teachers span three distinguished fellowships, including over 800 MƒA Master Teachers, over 200 MƒA Early Career Teachers, and about 20 administrators in the MƒA School Leader Fellowship.
"Teacher attrition costs the U.S. up to 2.2 billion annually. It's far more effective to invest in keeping the most talented teachers in the classroom and to have them serve as role models for early career teachers than it is to continue spending millions of dollars each year hiring and training teachers who leave after their first or second year. If we can keep great teachers in the classroom, we'd increase student success and spend less money doing it," said Megan Roberts, MƒA Executive Director. "At MƒA, 87 percent of our teachers say that their MƒA fellowship influences them to keep teaching and virtually all tell us that the courses and community here greatly enhances their practice as well as their feeling of professionalism."
Teachers who are accepted into an MƒA four-year fellowship join a scholarly community of the best minds in mathematics and science. Each semester they either facilitate or attend courses ranging in areas of content, pedagogy, leadership, and policy. Teachers have the opportunity to collaborate professionally – high school teachers pair with middle school teachers, experienced teachers mentor teachers early in their careers, math mavens hear from science specialists. It's here that teachers inspire one another, find solutions to problems, and share unique techniques to reach their students. They receive substantial stipends (up to $60,000 over four years) to recognize their achievements, to convey prestige on the teaching profession, and to increase their overall income.
"My MƒA experience has played an invaluable role in motivating me to continue to teach and grow as a leader within my profession," said two-time MƒA Master Teacher Soni Midha, who teaches mathematics at East Side Community High School in Manhattan. "It's incredible to be a part of a community that has such a dedication and commitment to lifelong learning."
MƒA by the Numbers: 2016
1,043 Total MƒA Teachers
- 194 teachers admitted to the 2016 cohort
- 807 Master Teachers
- 214 Early Career Fellows
- 22 School Leaders Fellows
411 NYC Public Schools Where MƒA Teachers Teach
- 7 in 10 MƒA teachers teach in high-poverty schools
4% Attrition Rate for MƒA Experienced STEM Teachers in NYC
- 9% Attrition rate for non-MƒA experienced STEM Teachers in NYC
- $2.2 billion cost of teacher attrition in the U.S.
- 99% of MƒA teachers felt a positive impact from MƒA professional development opportunities
- 87% of MƒA teachers felt influenced to stay in teaching due to MƒA
- 82% of MƒA teachers felt a positive impact on their pedagogical practice
- $60,000 stipend over four years paid to MƒA Master Teachers to recognize participation in our community
About MƒA
MƒA sets out to make teaching a viable, rewarding, and respected career choice for the best minds in science and mathematics. The Master Teacher Fellowship achieves this goal by bringing together outstanding, experienced teachers to share knowledge, advance teaching skills, and define excellence itself. This remarkable community of teachers is changing the landscape of science and mathematics education. MƒA also advocates for its model around the country, so that every student in America can have great math and science teachers—teachers who are true masters of the subject matter and deeply committed to the craft of teaching.

Interview: Tracey Fairaway from "Enough Said"
Tracey Fairaway is one of Hollywood's young and talented actresses who has just had the unbelievable opportunity to work with some of Hollywood's veterans in the new film "Enough Said". Tracey plays the daughter of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and also stars opposite the late James Gandolfini, Catherine Keener, and Toni Collette. Tracey sat down with Movie Room Reviews and talked all about this wonderful experience.
Nick Leyland from Movie Room Reviews: So let's just talk about this new movie "Enough Said". It just came out recently, and you play Ellen. So can you tell our audience a little bit about the film and your character as Ellen?
Tracey Fairaway: The film is based on my mom's character, Eva, who is played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. And she falls for a guy named Albert who is played by Gandolfini. Albert has relations with Catherine Keener's character. My character, Ellen, is a college-bound daughter of Eva's and she's just trying to get herself prepared for this move over to the east coast 'cause they're from California. And in the meantime, her friend, Chloe, played by Tavi (Gevinson), she kind of takes over the roost. So Eva starts inviting her over to be in Ellen's room and whatnot, to live there when Ellen's gone. That's where the problem arises there, I guess.
MRR: Well, it's a comedy, and it has tons of great actors in it. Could you kind of give me some of your favorite scenes from the film?
Tracey Fairaway: My personal favorite scene is the one where Julia and James... I don't want to spoil too much. They have their first kiss. That's probably my favorite scene. It makes me cry every single time. It's so sweet.
Of my own scenes, there's an airport scene that I shot, and a lot of people have come up to me and telling me that it really affected them, it really moved them. So I'm pretty proud of that. I'd say that's the scene that I enjoy, and I like a lot of Eve Hewson's scenes. She's a very talented actress, she plays Gandolfini's daughter in the film. I like her scenes a lot.
MRR: Well, it was written by and directed by Nicole Holofcener and this film is very dialog-driven. And when a movie is dialog-driven like this, it's kind of up to the actors to produce the comedic timing, among other things, to make the film great. Was it challenging for you to find your strive for your character?
Tracey Fairaway: Not really. I had auditioned for the character, and I kind of felt who she was, and I felt that pretty strongly. But I didn't hear anything for about a year, and then finally they called me back and told me that they liked what I'd done. So I really related to Ellen pretty fast, though I would say that the part where I was studying a lot was picking up on Julia's mannerisms and Julia's comedic timing because I wanted it to feel like you would believe we really are related. So picking up on her natural comedic timing was something that I was trying to hone in on and just things to make it look more real to the audience. I'm a natural blond from California, so I'm trying to look like Elaine from Seinfeld.
MRR: Well, speaking of that, you do look different as Ellen than you do in real life. How fun was it to take on a whole new different look for the film?
Tracey Fairaway: It was totally fun. My sister's a brunette, I'm the only blonde in the family. [chuckle] So it was so cool to be a brunette. But every time I pass a mirror, I would have to do a double-take. I was like, "That isn't me." And then you realize, "Oh my God, that is me." It's just a bit weird, but it's not that different. [laughter]
MRR: I'm not saying that Ellen's not attractive, but on a side note, does a character's physical appearance in a film make you kind of wary of taking a role? Because you're an attractive girl and would it bother you to play a character who is presumed unattractive to the audience?
Tracey Fairaway: Well, that's what's wonderful about acting, it's an art. And I love the art as truly as I can, portraying a human being that before the moment the material's in your hand, that person is just a wondering soul that's in the imagination of a writer and a few other people. They don't have flesh, and they don't have a pulse, and they don't have breath. I give all that stuff to the character and in doing so, I have to completely let go and forget who Tracey is. And whatever hangups I have about my appearances or whatever things I like about my appearance, I really have to be okay with letting go with that.
I play young characters a lot. So going without make-up or whatever, you just get used to it. [laughter] It's just not that bad, you know. When you know who you are inside too, it motivates you to kind of... Like you want to play uglier... Physically, I guess uglier characters, but also personality-wise, maybe it could be fun too. It's different.
MRR: Well this movie will probably go down in cinematic history because of the fact that it's James Gandolfini's final role. How privileged where you to get to work with him on a film, and what does he, as an actor, bring to a film like this?
Tracey Fairaway: Well obviously, he has driven himself as an actor. So, just having him involved with this was a blessing. When I heard that his name was attached to this, I was thrilled. I don't watch "The Sopranos", I've seen a few episodes, but I've seen "Zero Dark Thirty". I've seen a lot of other things that he's been in and I've always appreciated him. I put him in that category with Pacino, De Niro, just some of the greats. He's in that category for sure. So when I found out working with him I was going to be doing that, I was really thrilled.The way I feel about him, about this being his last film, is just bitter-sweet. I wish he could make more films from a selfish point of view. As a fan, I wish he could make more films. But he's never going to, so it's very saddening, and I feel so special that I actually got the chance to have this opportunity before somebody passes. You never entertain that thought then. It's just the worst. And it happened. So we're all just kind of dealing with it the best as a person can. But it's his family that I always pray for, worry for...
MRR: Well, the women really hold this film together. There's so many. You've got amazing actors like Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, you, Toni Collette, and a few other ones. But this isn't a movie just for women. Why will both men and women really enjoy this film?
Tracey Fairaway: Well, I think that the demographic there can be large because... I mean, not only is it gonna to be like housewives dragging their husbands to see this, to which the guy says, "Well, Tony Soprano's in it." [chuckle] But I think that it's... You're a cinephile, and if you do enjoy cinema and film, and a lot of males do tend to like films. I think one would seem like you can't miss it, in a way. If you really, really do love, and you're passionate about cinema, I don't think you could miss a chance to see Gandolfini in a performance like this. Especially when he is playing, essentially, kind of a version of himself; charming, self-deprecating, hilarious guy. And I think men and women will both see the value in a film like that. It brings them both together, in a sense, too. So I think that's why it kind of stands for both a male and female audience, is you've got those things going.
MRR: Why did you get in the world of acting, and what about it has drawn you to making it your passion and your career in life?
Tracey Fairaway: What drew me to acting was when I was really young, the first thing I ever wanted to do was be a vet, but I realized that I would have to put down animals. So when I was about four or five years old I was at one of my friend's houses, and we were watching "Grease" or something on TV. I was so inspired just because they sing in that movie and there's so much going on. After the movie was over, and they did a flash cut of Tom Cruise doing an interview about some film he made or whatever. And they flashed to the film. And in that moment, I realized, "Oh my God, that's a career? I can do that. That's what I know that I want to do." I didn't know you could get paid for that. I didn't know it was a thing. I thought it was just a hobby, I guess. When you're a kid, you don't know.
It's always something that I loved, and I realized that artists have a certain gift. Like my gift, I I have a gift to help people feel. If you haven't cried in 10 years, give me three hours, okay? Just get it out of you, it'll be good. If you just got fired, give me two hours, and I'll make you laugh. I feel like this is what I'm meant to do and I feel this is what gives me the greatest amount of joy. I love being able to touch people and let them put down their guard when they're in that theater and get to know them in that sense. I'm just so passionate about it because literally Tracey leaves and the soul comes in as a character. I'm not even present when the character is there. It's a very spiritual, almost, feeling. It's indescribable. Any artist, or anybody that loves what they do, can relate to what I'm saying though. It's just that passion where you've always known it was in you, and it's just about unlocking it. I used to search through the Yellow Pages for ages. I mean, I was desperate at that point, and I just had to let go and say, "If this is meant for me, it's gonna to happen." And surely enough, everything just started kind of lining up and falling in place, and I am where I am now today because of it. And I'm never gonna stop. I'm never gonna stop. I want to change the world in this way.
MRR: Good for you. That sounds fantastic. I'm really excited for you and your new film, "Enough Said," it's a great film. Where and when can they see the new film? And what else can we look forward to seeing from you in the future?
Tracey Fairaway: Well "Enough Said" is going to be expanding. We're kind of like an Indie film, but we are making such a killing at the theaters that they're going to keep rolling them out, and now we're expanding to about 450 new theaters around the country. So they should be popping up in cities all over. And if we do well in those theaters, then you will see them rolling out in more theaters. So, it's all about how many people go to see and how much each theater makes for the film that determines how many cities it'll be in. So, hopefully it'll be in every city.
But for now, it's supposed to be concentrated in the major cities. So I would just encourage everyone to go on to the Fox Searchlight "Enough Said" blog and check out where the cinemas that are playing in your city are showing "Enough Said". For me, I got a lot of things coming up. I'm traveling at midnight tonight to fly out to the east coast, and I'm gonna be working with my other half, my boyfriend, with a music collaboration project. So, we're gonna be in the studio here as soon as we get back. And then after that, I've got potential films and stuff lined up. But I can't say too much about it.
MRR: Torture, huh?
Tracey Fairaway: Well, a lot of exciting stuff. Just really pushing forward, and always gonna be striving to find as many diverse roles as I can. I wanna mix it up as much as possible.
MRR: Well, thank you so much and best of luck in your career. And I really appreciate you taking the time to talk with me, and hopefully "Enough Said" goes to theaters all over the country, all over the world, right?
Tracey Fairaway: Yeah. It can always hope.
MRR: Well, thank you so much.
Tracey Fairaway: Well, thanks Nick. You were so awesome.

Running your own shooting range
In the past you worked for a business and every week you got paid on the mark and everything was okay – nothing special but you had no uncertainties. The boss rolled up in his shiny new car; while you drove around in your 10 year old rusty banger – obviously he was doing a little better than you! Clearly it's time for a change; and the single human being preventing you is yourself! Set-up your own shooting range business now! Running your own shooting range business is maybe something you have thought about for several years; but what has prevented you beforehand? It is clear that being your own boss might be the most challenging thing you ever do, except imagine the rewards.
Accordingly how do you run a new venture? You've forever been the one who is told what to do. Immediately the shoe is truly on the other foot – you allocate the commands now. However what guidelines do you give to your workers? What signals do you transmit? How do you realize if what you are saying or doing is the correct thing for your new shooting range business? It was undemanding before…the boss spoke…and you carried out what he/she said then you got remunerated at the end of the day. Having your own business is a little trickier, if you get things wide of the mark now, not only will you not get paid (or get remunerated less), your decisions could impact negatively upon your employees.
Be meticulous when operating your own business – for definite you want to make wealth, but not at all costs. What are the costs of business compared with just being a member of staff? You have more accountability to yourself, your relatives and employees if you have any – they are all dependent on you for their economic sanctuary. Scary! Operating your own business normally means working longer hours and you may not make any wealth from working those longer hours where previously you may have got paid per hour/day. A guaranteed wage!
However having no financial worries is a great comfort though.
Were you one of those at school? Who's school statement said…"This one will never amount to much!" What a sensation that would be to go back into your old school and say to your old teacher – "look I am running my own business now – how's the lessons going these days?"
In reality there are always a blend of features at play and no 2 individual capitalist fit the same mold; in a considerable corporation people become institutionalized however with your own business you get to do stuff your own way and sway the staff you have (assuming you have any).
Grand shooting range businesses are designed that way by people just like you. They succeed because they plan to be unbeaten, they take the time to bring about how they want their business to be; they prepare it that way and take enormous pleasure as their business and their life begins to tie in with their dreams.
Open your shooting range business today!

That Was Fast: Royals Hire Dale Sveum
When he was dismissed as the manager of the Chicago Cubs earlier this week, no one doubted that Dale Sveum would find another job in baseball. Indeed, most figured he'd probably land something quickly.
But three days? Damn. Dude is fast.
Today, the Kansas City Royals announced (via the Twitters) that the organization had hired Sveum to a coaching position for 2014. The details of his role aren't yet clear, but Sveum has always been thought of as a gifted coach, particularly on the hitting side. Based on the speed of his hire, I think it's pretty clear that he was in high demand for a job like this.
Best of luck to him with the Royals next year.

I love these appliques- we all got into a bit of a crazy applique streak at work. They're to show off what you can do with some of the simple craft supplies and things we carry. I love that little squidy especially.
And this top went through the washer and then I accidentally put it through the dryer, which made it shrink instead of growing slightly like I wanted it too. Now it's waiting for me to do my laundry again.
Oh yeah, I have to do my laundry, too.
Planning a wedding is not the most fun. Oh, it's not so bad, but the whole thing is just a constant pressure over my head. Soon enough I will make a list so that I will know what to do and when to do it. Right now we're in the final stages of booking a caterer, and trying to get invitations finished and on their way.
I also had some extra responsibilities at work for the last little while, and was on a different and earlier schedule. It's over now, but while it was happening I was zombie-exhausted the whole time.
Today I had some time free, so I went and got my bike from our old apartment. I'd left it parked out behind, and had been worried that I didn't have the old key. Turns out the lock was broken and it was just sitting there. Well, at least it was still there!
Since it didn't actually work, I took the day to head out to an amazing little local bike non-profit that helps you repair your own bike. It was women/trans day there, and I had amazing help and fixed up my own bike with a lot of help and patience on the part of the awesome volunteers. I had to replace three parts, and the front shifter still doesn't quite work, but the back shifter does; more importantly, the bike now runs when you pedal it, and the chain isn't so rusted it can't really move.
It was really awesome to be able to get my hands dirty and fix it myself. It felt pretty amazing, I have to say.
I need to find a place to keep my bike now, other than my living room, but one step at a time. I think I might start biking to knit-night every week.
Anyway, I was dead tired and sweaty as anything after that, so I biked home and hopped in the shower, then napped. While I napped, Andrew ordered us sushi and so we had a lovely treat and got to enjoy our new couch, delicious food and an episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
I should maybe work on one of the five wedding blankets I need to do this summer, or maybe my veil, or the doilies I need to make for centrepieces... Soon enough I need to get my bridesmaids over and start sewing their dresses, and bring over my friend Gabe who is going to teach me to make a dress that fits me so I can have something for the dancing part of the wedding, and I need to start the lace overlay for that dress... but all of that can wait. I want to do something relaxing and not practical- I'm planning on working on my current obsession, another top-down raglan cardigan to wear at work. Time for some relaxing crochet!

Police reports say Pakistani gunmen abducted a US citizen from his home in the city of Lahore early Saturday morning.
The U.S. Embassy identified the victim as Warren Weinstein. A man by that name serves as the Pakistan country director for J.E. Austin Associates, a development contractor that works with the aid arm of the American government, according to a profile on the LinkedIn networking website, the AP reported.
Pakistani police said the American was believed to be in his 60s, and had returned to Lahore the previous night from the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. He had told his staff that would be wrapping up his latest project and moving out of Pakistan by Monday, police official Tajammal Hussain said.
The LinkedIn networking website lists a Warren Weinstein as the Pakistan country director for J.E. Austin Associates Inc. since 2004. It says he has worked on dairy production, horticulture and manufacturing projects, some funded by the U.S. government.
Between eight and 10 people broke into the American's house this morning at a time when guards were busy preparing for an early meal during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, according to Abdul Razaq Cheema, a Lahore police official, who spoke to the GEO television channel, Bloomberg reported.
The agency quoted a neighbor saying the gunmen also beat the guard at the main gate.
All guards and servants have reportedly been taken into custody and are being questioned by police.
No group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.

Well here are my highlights:
1. I spend almost all 2014 pregnant and now have a beautiful boy.
2. The Girl did amazing in all the process, even she struggled a little at school with the baby arrival, she got back on track very quick.
3. She participated in a fabulous ballet recital where she was amazingly good, and this Mama cried thru all the show.
4. My Hubby still my favorite person and he managed so well all the up and downs of my pregnancy (and post) perfectly.
5. We decided that I'll be a SAHM, which I love.
6. I realized that I was born to be a Mom, not a employee. (I hate dealing with imbeciles :D)
7. We had a very happy and healthy year.
8. Even I got a C-Section, I was able to return to my pre-pregnancy-weight in less than 2 months. I still need to get back in shape, but to be honest I'm not in a hurry. I spend 9 month gaining weight, so my goal is to be ready in the same amount of time.
9. Pelhuaz Store did good, but I'm sure it can do better.
10. I realized I'm extra-mega-bless for everything I have (and for what I don't have, as well).
What are your highlights? I would love to know...
Wishing a New Year full of love, happiness and health, from my family to yours!

Artist Vernon Witham (the painter for "Surviving Picasso," famous University of Oregon alumnus, shown in museums internationally), who has been prominently featured on Art of Santa Fe, much beloved here and in his home state of Oregon, passed away this morning after a long illness. Vernon Witham will always be remembered for his brilliant talent and originality.
Vern Witham painted in nearly every style imaginable, with supreme skill. Most of his work came from the vast depths of his mind. Vernon had architectural and engineering skills, as well, which are evidenced in his immense body of work. He designed and built a fabulous house and painting studio in Santa Fe, which he shared with his younger sister, painter Beverly Jean.
Vernon Witham's paintings and his recent #2 pencil drawings were derived from his wild, humorous, vivid imagination, from faces and animals that he had logged into his steel-trap mind throughout 84 years, which he deftly incorporated into surreal and amusing scenes. Vern had a distinct, individual style which is instantly recognizable in his artwork. Witham received a phone call from his old friend James Ivory last week, who told him that his 1950s paintings were superior to those done by Picasso during that era.
People who are very familiar with Vernon Witham's landscapes of New Mexico and Oregon will automatically visualize his unique interpretation of clouds whenever they look at the sky. I see Vern Witham's clouds up there often, in their chubby, almost human forms. Vernon saw many more magical things in the Santa Fe skies than usual during his last days. Vernon said to his sister Beverly Jean (Tiqua), while in the agony which preceded his passing into Heaven, that he saw God and knows He exists. We see God in Vern's fantastic paintings.
©M-J de Mesterton, August 2010
From the Santa Fe New Mexican, Vernon Witham's Obituary
VERNON WITHAM 1925- 2010 Vernon Witham passed away August 8, 2010 at the age of 84 succumbing to a long illness. He was born on December 6, 1925 in Eugene, Oregon. He is survived by his sister Beverly Jean Strong and niece Nancy Strong. Vernon was an accomplished painter with acclaim starting in his late 20's having showings at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, the De Young Museum and Smithsonian. He moved to Santa Fe in 1988 and continued to paint and draw until 2 weeks before his death. Vernon was much loved by all who knew him. He will be dearly missed and always in our hearts.

New Jersey child welfare officials have taken custody of a baby born to a couple whose other three children with Nazi-inspired names were removed nearly two years ago.
Heath and Deborah Campbell made headlines in 2009 when a supermarket refused to decorate a birthday cake for their son Adolf Hitler Campbell.
An attorney for them says a child named Hons was born Thursday at Hunterdon Medical Center. Pasquale Giannetta says state child services representatives took custody of the baby at the hospital.
Giannetta says a court hearing has been scheduled for Monday to determine whether the agency will keep custody. Agency officials declined to comment.
In court filings, the agency says the children were in danger because previous violence in the Campbell home.

SEGA CDComputer and Video Games (CVG) (Mar, 1992)
So this is the CD-ROM then is it? The animation is very impressive, but there isn't as much of it as you might think. Still, the gameplay's what counts and Heavy Nova has a few novel twists. For one thing, we all thought this was going to be a straightforward arcade beat em up, but this is really two different games. That's the whole problem with Heavy Nova. It's alright. You've probably been expecting the Mega CD to be some kind of super dream machine. It may well, be, but Heavy Nova doesn't show it off. Neat graphics, slick animation and impressive music, but nothing special at all.
GenesisSega-16.com (Aug 24, 2009)
So what do we have with Heavy Nova? We have a mediocre fighting game with nice animation, decent graphics, plenty of moves, and very good music, countered by a rather odd set of fighting rules, pretty dull platforming sections, and not many robots to choose from. It tries to do its own thing, but does so using an unnatural setup. This makes for a game that can be frustrating as hell if you're not patient enough to wade through its quirks. Despite all this, if you stick with Heavy Nova long enough, and learn the game's strange fighting system, you just may find that it can provide a little fun. It's a tough call between a four and a five. But since you can turn off a couple problematic areas, and the fighting system is consistent enough to be learned and utilized, the game gets a nudge up to just barely be average.
GenesisGame Zero (May, 1992)
Sad... That's the one word that comes to mind after playing this title. Personally I rarely like this style of game, and this game did little to impress me. The gameplay was excruciatingly slow and combat seemed inaccurate. If you feel you have to own this game buy the cart only. It's exactly the same (sans music) as the CD version.
GenesisEntertainment Weekly (Jun 12, 1992)
Heavy Nova's high-stepping, stainless-steel robot hero may have a certain wacky appeal — if Michael Jackson were the Terminator, this is what his skeleton would look like — but it also has the most ponderous, difficult-to-master moves this side of a t'ai chi tournament.
SEGA CDSega-16.com (Jan 02, 2014)
The greatest joy of owning Heavy Nova comes from that initial meeting, that first blush of nostalgia between gamer and game. It's the moment where what Heavy Nova represents – nostalgia, history, a connection to an era now a quarter-century past – can be felt in your retro gamer bones. Actually playing the game is the most anticlimactic next step possible. Better to put it back on the shelf where it belongs, beside other Mega CD games of much higher quality.
SEGA CDPower Play (Jan, 1993)
Heavy Nova gehörte spielerisch und technisch zu den schwächsten Mega-Drive-Spielen. Kümmerliche Roboterkämpfe vor blassen Grafiken langweilten die Spieler.
GenesisThunderbolt Games (Jan 27, 2009)
I consider myself a fairly forgiving game reviewer. I am the one, after all, who gave the Xbox version of Serious Sam a "nine" several years back. I like to give developers the benefit of the doubt when it comes to what they were trying accomplish when designing a piece of videogame software. More often that not, even with the crappiest of games, if you dig deep enough you can find a few pearls of enjoyment. These pearls do not exist in Heavy Nova. Trust me – I've looked. I looked for weeks back in my youth, desperately trying validate my birthday gift, and I've looked again more recently as I brushed up for this review. With Heavy Nova, no matter how deep you dig, all there is is shit.
GenesisThe Video Game Critic (Jun 04, 2006)
The lag time with the controls is so reprehensible that you'll swear you're playing over a 300-baud dial-up modem (vintage 1982). During boss sequences, the game attempts to be a one-on-one fighter, but don't ditch that Street Fighter 2 cartridge just yet. As the boss pounds your sorry ass into oblivion, you'll struggle in vain just to land a single blow! Heck, half of the time your robot is facing the wrong direction! Controls are especially problematic because you need to use one hand to hold your nose the whole time. Only by using the stage select feature (on the options menu) did I realize that subsequent stages are just as pointless. Even the soundtrack is offensive - it's nothing more than a disjointed series of random notes! Heavy Nova lowers the bar for all Genesis titles, making games I previously thought utterly deplorable seem perfectly respectable. From here on out, everything else gets an A.

Dickey Betts, Phil Lesh, Gov't Mule and Joe Russo's Almost Dead to Headline Peach Festival
After changing its dates to mid-July, the Peach Festival has announced its initial lineup.
Jam titians like Phil Lesh and Gov't Mule top the bill, along with two sets of Joe Russo's Almost Dead. Perhaps the most exciting addition to Peach this year is "The Return of Dickey Betts and His Band." Following a lengthy retirement, the founding member of the Allman Brothers recently plotted a return to music. Peach will mark his first live performance since 2014.
Moving down the lineup, Moe. and Twiddle will both serve up two sets. One of Twiddle's performances will be a special Twiddle and "Frends" set, which will lead to lots of speculation on who will drop in (Phil Lesh sat-in with the band at their Tumble Down festival this past summer).
Chris Robinson Brotherhood will also perform this year, as well as young upstart bands like Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Spafford and a collaborative Devon Allman/Duane Betts set.
There are sure to be plenty of Allman Brothers tunes throughout the weekend. In addition to Warren Haynes, Dickey Betts, and the second generation Devon Allman/Duane Betts performance, original drummer Jaimoe will also take the stage with his Jasssz Band.
The Peach Festival will take place from July 19-22 at Montage Mountain in Scranton, Penn. For a full list of performers see below. For ticketing information click here.

"I hope I never smell the smell of apples again!" said Fili. "My tub was full of it. To smell apples everlastingly when you can scarcely move and are cold and sick with hunger is maddening. I could eat anything in the wide world now, for hours on end - but not an apple!"
