Editor's Note: The following story is excerpted from the February issue of Woodall's Campground Management examining park models, cabins and yurts.
A survey the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) commissioned last summer through Precision Research, an Arizona-based firm that has done previous work for RVIA, revealed some broad misunderstandings or confusion about some aspects of the park trailer industry.
The firm surveyed 400 RVers and 400 non-RVers. Results showed consumers in general don't recognize the phrases "recreational park trailer" or "destination camping" but have a far better understanding of phrases such as "park models" and "seasonal camping," Matt Wald, the RVIA's recreational park trailer executive director, told WCM.
To help clear up the confusion, the RVIA's ad hoc Destination Camping Committee that commissioned the study has recommended to the RVIA board that it adopt the phrases park model and seasonal camping and drop the other terms. The board will take up the recommendations at its March meeting, Wald said.
In the meantime, the Destination Camping Committee and the Recreational Park Trailer committees, whose names may be changed pending the RVIA board action, won't be meeting again until Committee Week in June, Wald said.
Trough Not As Deep As Commonly Thought
The decline that the park model industry has sustained since reaching an all-time high of 10,143 wholesale shipments in 2006 is not as deep as it is often portrayed, Wald pointed out to WCM. Shipments have tailed off each year since then and have not topped 4,000 in either of the last two years.
However, what was counted as a park model in previous years creates a proverbial "apples and oranges" dilemma.
Up until 2007, not only was the economy stronger than it is today, but also until then all trailer-type units that measured between 320 and 400 square feet were counted as a park model. Starting in 2008, RVIA allowed travel trailers to be built up to 400 square feet rather than limiting them to 320 square feet. Since then, many units that would have been counted as 8 ½-foot-wide park models are now rightfully counted as travel trailers.
"Overall, it looks like a desperate fall," Wald said. "But if you look just at the over-8½-foot-wide-park models, it still is down but not nearly as much as the overall number would seem to indicate. In fact, it is right in line with other RV types."
And Wald and the RVIA report some success in tackling the task of accurate record keeping to track wholesale shipments of park models. Until July 2012, shipments were tracked by the RPTIA. Figures for the first half of 2012 were spotty and incomplete and, according to Wald, understate actual production figures. For that reason, monthly RVIA wholesale shipment reports do not provide a year-over-year tabulation for park models for the entire year.
But Wald has coaxed park model manufacturers to go back in their 2012 records to try to recreate a better accounting of their production for the first half of the year. Once better accounting is complete, Wald hopes RVIA will be able soon to report a more complete picture for comparison purposes.

Royal Green Jackets Gas Mask
Evan Virtue from Thornton Heath
was a soldier
in the 2nd Battalion
of the Royal Greenjackets.
He was posted to Northern Ireland
on three separate occasions
in the 1970s and 1980s.
A gas mask was part of his equipment.

Evan describes his experiences
in Northern Ireland:
"There were times
on my first tour
when it was exciting and scary,
at the same time.
A riot would spring up
and car bomb go off,
and sometimes you had to
chase gunmen at night.
Let's say you learnt
to move very quickly.
You don't really think about it,
you just do your job.
All of us were experienced guys.
And you're trained to look out
for certain things of what not to do.
Like never opening gates
in South Armagh.
You climb over the fence
or through the fence.
Cos all it takes is a couple of wires,
and you open the gate.
When I first went
there were still Catholics
who used to welcome us
inside their homes.
But as time went on
some of these people were killed
as sympathisers -
the IRA told them not to fraternise
with the army."
The conflict in Northern Ireland
In 1969,
the British government
sent large numbers of troops
to Northern Ireland.
They were meant to keep the peace
between the Catholic
and Protestant communities.
Violence between the two communities,
and against the police and army,
lasted until the mid-1990s.
Northern Ireland remains
a divided society.

Hi guys,
Looking for some advice here. I have a single hard drive on this older machine. It works fine, but I notice quite often when gaming or when doing adobe premiere that I'm very much hard drive throttled.
The task manager will show the disk column in deep red with 100% usage. It's slammed. This is not constant, just when it really needs to think about something =)
I'm wondering if adding a raid card to the board that can support m.2 drives or some other plug and play solution would help me here. That way I could push off games and other often used hard drive intense things to those drives.
Would this help or would this be more work than necessary? At this point from my inspection of the task manager, I'm never CPU bound or limited by my graphics card even though they are older at this point, it's always the harddrive. But I don't know if I want to rebuild the machine and replace the current drive..
Thoughts and advice very much welcome. Thanks a ton!

This page has been left in place as a memorial to our friend Patty Rambert. Her death on Memorial Day 2006 was a shock to us all.
Heather Rambert wrote on OutdoorsClub.Org: Patty Rambert died Wednesday while climbing Mt. Mendel in the Sierra with a friend. Her friend reports that Patty was standing on a snow slope while her friend went ahead to explore a possible route. Her friend heard Patty yell and turned to see her falling. Apparently, Patty was unable to self-arrest. Both were using ice axes and crampons and snow conditions were good.

Move over Dave Chappelle. Another celebrity feud with hecklers is going viral.
Zac Hanson, the youngest of the boy pop trio Hanson, called an audience member a "drunk b-----" after her heckling forced him to stop his solo performance of the song "Lulabelle" at a concert in Richmond, Va., on Wednesday.
"Seriously?" Hanson said. "I'm singing this beautiful song about a little girl and this drunk b---- is screaming. You can go home. I'm going to start that verse over so the rest of us can enjoy it."
U.S. & World
He then continued with his performance.
Last month, Dave Chappelle walked off the stage at a show in Hartford, Conn., after he sat silently for 25 minutes because the audience was making too much noise.

The quickening power of Christ contrasted with the powerlessness of legal ordinances
John 5 contrasts the quickening power of Christ, the power and the right of giving life to the dead, with the powerlessness of legal ordinances. They required strength in the person that was to profit by them. Christ brought with Him the power that was to heal, and indeed to quicken. Further, all judgment is committed to Him, so that those who had received life would not come into judgment. The end of the chapter sets forth the testimonies that have been borne to Him, and the guilt therefore of those who would not come to Him to have life. One is sovereign grace, the other responsibility because life was there. To have life His divine power was needed; but in rejecting Him, in refusing to come unto Him that they might have life, they did so in spite of the most positive proofs.
The impotent man: strength imparted by Christ
Let us go a little into the details. The poor man who had an
infirmity for thirty-eight years was absolutely hindered, by the
nature of his disease, from profiting by means that required
strength to use them. This is the character of sin, on the one
hand, and of law on the other. Some remains of blessing still
existed among the Jews. Angels, ministers of that dispensation,
still wrought among the people. Jehovah did not leave Himself
without testimony. But strength was needed to profit by this
instance of their ministry. That which the law could not do, being
weak through the flesh, God has done through Jesus. The impotent
man had desire, but not strength; to will was present with him, but
no power to perform. The Lord's question brings this out. A single
word from Christ does everything. "Rise, take up thy bed and walk."
Strength is imparted. The man rises, and goes away carrying his
The Sabbat: God beginning to work again in power and love
It was the Sabbath — an important circumstance here, holding a
prominent place in this interesting scene. The Sabbath was given as
a token of the covenant between the Jews and the Lord.* But it had
been proved that the law did not give God's rest to man. The power
of a new life was needed; grace was needed, that man might be in
relationship with God. The healing of this poor man was an
operation of this same grace, of this same power, but wrought in
the midst of Israel. The pool of Bethesda supposed power in man;
the act of Jesus employed power, in grace, on behalf of one of the
Lord's people in distress. Therefore, as dealing with His people in
government, He says to the man, "Sin no more, lest a worse thing
come unto thee." It was Jehovah acting by His grace and blessing
among His people; but it was in temporal things, the tokens of His
favour and lovingkindness, and in connection with His government in
Israel. Still it was divine power and grace. Now, the man told the
Jews that it was Jesus. They rise up against Him under the pretence
of a violation of the Sabbath. The Lord's answer is deeply
affecting, and full of instruction — a whole revelation. It
declares the relationship, now openly revealed by His coming, that
existed between Himself (the Son) and His Father. It shows — and
what depths of grace! — that neither the Father nor Himself could
find their Sabbath** in the midst of misery and of the sad fruits
of sin. Jehovah in Israel might impose the Sabbath as an obligation
by the law, and make it a token of the previous truth that His
people should enter into the rest of God. But, in fact, when God
was truly known, there was no rest in existing things; nor was this
all — He wrought in grace, His love could not rest in misery. He
had instituted a rest in connection with the creation, when it was
very good. Sin, corruption, and misery had entered into it. God,
the holy and the just, no longer found a Sabbath in it, and man did
not really enter into God's rest (compare Heb. 4). Of two things,
one: either God must, in justice, destroy the guilty race; or — and this is what He did, according to His eternal purposes — He
must begin to work in grace, according to the redemption which the
state of man required — a redemption in which all His glory is
unfolded. In a word, He must begin to work again in love. Thus the
Lord says, "My Father works hitherto, and I work." God cannot be
satisfied where there is sin. He cannot rest with misery in
sight. He has no Sabbath, but still works in grace. How divine an
answer to their wretched cavils!
The Lord putting Himself on an equality with the Father
Another truth came out from that which the Lord said: He put Himself on an equality with His Father. But the Jews, jealous for their ceremonies — for that which distinguished them from other nations — saw nothing of the glory of Christ, and seek to kill Him, treating Him as a blasphemer. This gives Jesus occasion to lay open the whole truth on this point. He was not like an independent being with equal rights, another God who acted on His own account, which, moreover, is impossible. There cannot be two supreme and omnipotent beings. The Son is in full union with the Father, does nothing without the Father, but does whatsoever He sees the Father do. There is nothing that the Father does which He does not in communion with the Son; and greater proofs of this should yet be seen, that they might marvel. This last sentence of the Lord's words, as well as the whole of this Gospel, shows that, while revealing absolutely that He and the Father are one, He reveals it, and speaks of it as in a position in which He could be seen of men. The thing of which He speaks is in God; the position in which He speaks of it is a position taken, and, in a certain sense, inferior. We see everywhere that He is equal to, and one with, the Father. We see that He receives all from the Father, and does all after the Father's mind. (This is shown very remarkably in John 17). It is the Son, but the Son manifested in the flesh, acting in the mission which the Father sent Him to fulfil.
The Son as the giver of life and the judge of all
Two things are spoken of in this chapter (v. 21, 22) which demonstrate the glory of the Son. He quickens and He judges. It is not healing that is in question — a work which, at bottom, springs from the same source, and has its occasion in the same evil: but the giving of life in a manner evidently divine. As the Father raises the dead and quickens them, so the Son quickens whom He will. Here we have the first proof of His divine rights, He gives life, and He gives it to whom He will. But, being incarnate, He may be personally dishonoured, disallowed, despised of men. Consequently all judgment is committed unto Him, the Father judging no man, in order that all, even those who have rejected the Son, should honour Him, even as they honour the Father whom they own as God. If they refuse when He acts in grace, they shall be compelled when He acts in judgment. In life, we have communion by the Holy Ghost with the Father and the Son (and quickening or giving life is the work alike of the Father and the Son); but in the judgment, unbelievers will have to do with the Son of man whom they have rejected. The two things are quite distinct. He whom Christ has quickened will not need to be compelled to honour Him by undergoing judgment. Jesus will not call into judgment one whom He has saved by quickening him.
Grace gives eternal life and secures from judgment
How may we know, then, to which of these two classes we belong?
The Lord (praised be His name!) replies, he that hears His word,
and believes Him who sent Him (believes the Father by hearing
Christ), has everlasting life (such is the quickening power of His
word), and shall not come into judgment. He is passed from death
into life. Simple and wonderful testimony!* The judgment will
glorify the Lord in the case of those who have despised Him
here. The possession of eternal life, that they may not come into
judgment, is the portion of those who believe.
Two distinct periods in the Lord's exercise of power: (1) Souls quickened by the Son of God
The Lord then points out two distinct periods, in which the power that the Father committed to Him as having come down to the earth, is to be exercised. The hour was coming — was already come — in which the dead should hear the voice of the Son of God, and those that heard should live. This is the communication of spiritual life by Jesus, the Son of God, to man, who is dead by sin, and that by means of the word which he should hear. For the Father has given to the Son, to Jesus, thus manifested on earth, to have life in Himself (compare 1 John 1:1-2). He has also given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of man. For the kingdom and the judgment, according to the counsels of God, belong to Him as Son of man — in that character in which He was despised and rejected when He came in grace.
This passage also shows us that, although He was the eternal Son, one with the Father, He is always looked upon as manifested here in the flesh, and, therefore, as receiving all from the Father. It is thus that we have seen Him at the well of Samaria — the God who gave, but the One who asked the poor woman to give Him to drink.
(2) Bodies raised from death
Jesus, then, quickened souls at that time. He still quickens. They were not to marvel. A work, more wonderful in the eyes of men, should be accomplished. All those that were in the grave should come forth. This is the second period of which He speaks. In the one He quickens souls; in the other, He raises up bodies from death. The one has lasted during the ministry of Jesus and 1800 years since His death; the other is not yet come, but during its continuance two things will take place. There will be a resurrection of those who have done good (this will be a resurrection of life, the Lord will complete His quickening work), and there will be a resurrection of those who have done evil (this will be a resurrection for their judgment). This judgment will be according to the mind of God, and not according to any separate personal will of Christ. Thus far it is sovereign power, and as regards life sovereign grace — He quickens whom He will. What follows is man's responsibility as regards the obtaining eternal life. It was there in Jesus, and they would not come to Him to have it.
Four testimonies to the Lord's glory and person, leaving man without excuse
The Lord goes on to point out to them four testimonies rendered to His glory and to His Person, which left them without excuse: John, His own works, His Father, and the scriptures. Nevertheless, while pretending to receive the latter, as finding in them eternal life, they would not come to Him that they might have life. Poor Jews! The Son came in the name of the Father, and they would not receive Him; another shall come in his own name, and him they will receive. This better suits the heart of man. They sought honour from one another: how could they believe? Let us remember this. God does not accommodate Himself to the pride of man — does not arrange the truth so as to feed it. Jesus knew the Jews. Not that He would accuse them to the Father: Moses, in whom they trusted, would do that; for if they had believed Moses, they would have believed Christ. But if they did not credit the writings of Moses, how would they believe the words of a despised Saviour?
In result, the Son of God gives life, and He executes judgment. In the judgment that He executes, the testimony which had been rendered to His Person leaves man without excuse on the ground of his own responsibility. In John 5 Jesus is the Son of God who, with the Father, gives life, and as Son of man judges. In John 6 He is the object of faith, as come down from heaven and dying. He just alludes to His going on high as Son of man.

The Customer Journey
Today, people are not sold, they buy.
The evolving digital landscape means today's consumer is more empowered. Consumers switch the digital devices they use as easily as they flip a light switch. They online shop nationally, internationally … even locally. They use a variety of web tools to compare prices, read reviews and find options before (and sometimes as) they purchase. As a result, they aren't easily "sold" anymore – they've been empowered by information to buy on their terms and on their time.
What this means is that marketing works differently today than it used to. Today, businesses need to help individual consumers along unique purchasing journeys, by engaging them with smart, integrated marketing programs that deliver the right messages at the right time to the right consumers

The first podcast that I decided to showcase is one that is very near and dear to my heart. Hold for drum solo…It's the Nerdist! Now I bet your wondering "Nerdist, Why Nerdist?!" First of all, why are you being so hostile, and second because without the Nerdist I would not be sitting in this chair, in the Philly Improv Theatre Office (where I am interning), writing on this awesome website. I started listening to the Nerdist about 2 years ago, and I haven't put it down since. Chris Hardwick, the proud father of the Nerdist, hosts bi-weekly episodes that include guests such as Tina Fey, Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Conan O'Brien. Usually accompanied by Jonah Ray and Matt Mira, these episodes are at times thought provoking, fascinating, and as I like to say, "make you pee" funny. Even their guestless episodes (which they like to call hostful) are truly amazing. I've learned a lot from the Nerdist such as playing D&D is cool, 8-bit music rocks, and always ENJOY YOUR BURRITO (just listen to the Rainn Wilson episode).
My top 5 Nerdist Pickins
5. Ana Gasteyer
Although Matt and Jonah are not in this episode, Ana Gasteyer is truly delightful! Not only does she have awesome stories about working and leaving SNL and the comedic genius that is Will Ferrell but she also dives into some really interesting topics such as improv vs. stand-up and women in comedy. This episode is really fun and super insightful.
Neil is not only the Director of the Hayden Planetarium and the host of his own one-hour radio talk show StarTalk, but he is one cool dude. This episode is not only educational but the conversation is fun and makes you wonder why you didn't become an astrophysicist (okay maybe not the last part). Also, what could be nerdier than science?
2. Kevin Smith
I have listened to this episode 10+ times now and it still holds up. Amazing riffs that never get old, just the sound of Kevin Smith's voice makes me laugh. All I have to say is, Vader Pussy. Enough Said.
A guestless episode as number 1?! YES hostile reader! The first of many hostfuls, this episode covers ridiculous and inane topics such as the career of Mark Wahlberg, Danny Elfman eating a breakfast burrito, and Matt working at a funeral home. These episodes truly show the awesomeness of the Nerdist; just three nerdy guys riffing about whatever. However beware: these episodes will make you laugh to tears.

With the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in the U.S. coming in February, expect a wonderful barrage of black-and-white clips from the height of Beatlemania, set to a soundtrack of piercing screams. Largely buried under the gleeful cries of teenagers now old enough to share tales of seeing John, Paul, George and Ringo with their grandchildren is the music that ignited the frenzy.
We'll get another kind of reminder of how powerful a live band the Beatles could be – sans the screams – with Monday's release of "On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2." The double CD, with 37 Beatles classics and covers, and lots of radio-show banter, comes 19 years after the first volume offered a fresh look – and listen – at the greatest pop band of them all.
The song list is largely familiar, drawing from tunes the Beatles recorded for studio albums, and, to an extent, the previous compilation of BBC radio appearances. But part of the magic of the group's enduring hold across generations rests in music that sounds as new as the day it was recorded. Every version marks another gem for fans, with something different to discover, even in songs we've heard countless times.
Snippets and cuts streamed in the lead-up to the release offer tantalizing tastes of early pulse-pounders like "I Saw Her Standing There" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The new album captures the band's rise while showing signs of the craftsmanship and musicianship (check out the drum-tight harmonies on "This Boy") that would make them the groundbreaking recording studio perfectionists who launched "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" a mere three years after greeting "The Ed Sullivan Show" audience with "All My Loving."
But the best moments of the BBC sessions, recorded between 1963 and 1965, aren't products of the Beatles' own compositions as much as their takes on songs and artists that inspired them. In the new collection, McCartney channels Elvis Presley on a rocking version of "Beautiful Dreamer." Harrison injects unabashed joy into Carl Perkins' "Glad All Over." Starr tears through The Shirelles' "Boys."
Emerging as a highlight is Lennon's searing vocal on the underappreciated Chuck Berry number, "I'm Talking About You." The rocker is a godsend for hardcore Beatle fans, teased for years by the barely audible version on the poor quality, but historic recordings of the band at Hamburg's Star-Club, taped when they were unknowns. Lennon believed the group's best live performances came in Hamburg before the mania threatened to overwhelm the music.
The BBC sessions, in both volumes, offer recordings still worth twisting and shouting over, all these years later. Check out a promo of "Volume 2" below – all you need is ears:

SRT has revealed the logo, called Stryker, for the new Viper.
Vince Galante, a young Chrysler designer and owner of a Viper GTS, drew sketches two years ago that led to the logo.
"Vince actually brought his pencil sketch to both [his manager] and me to review," SRT design head Mark Trostle said. "We both said, 'That's it.' We knew Vince had created a new icon."
The name was voted the winner by the Viper Owners Invitational in 2010.
The third rendition of the snake follows up on the original Sneaky Pete of 1992-2002 and Fangs of 2003-2010.
The new 2013 SRT Viper will debut at the New York auto show in April.

Meet Sandra Gordon
Hi, I'm Sandra, mom of two and author of Consumer Reports Best Baby Products (the 8th, 9th and 10 editions) and the gear advice site, BabyProductsMom.com. As a BabyQuip Quality Provider, I work independently to provide top-rated value, premium and quality baby gear and personal customer service to you and your family. I serve Westport, CT as well as other locations throughout Fairfield, Litchfield and Dutchess counties, and provide stroller, car seat and Pack 'n Play service to New York City travelers and grandparents.
I've been researching, writing and talking about baby gear on since 2002, when Consumer Reports called, looking for a writer-mom to take over their Consumer Reports Best Baby Products franchise. Who knew there would be so much to learn about baby gear because there are so many options? It's a multi-billion dollar industry.
Fun fact: Before reality TV became so popular, I got a taste of it as a baby safety expert on six episodes of Make Room for Baby, which ran on the Discovery Health Channel. The gist of the show? While dad and mom zoomed off to the hospital to give birth, the design team swooped in to decorate the nursery in the couple's home. At the last minute, I'd arrive to make sure the nursery passed my safety inspection. I'd point out, for example, that those cute decorative shadow boxes on the wall were low enough to become stair steps for a soon-to-be-curious toddler. Uh oh! Fall hazard!
The upshot? Baby products, including the latest trends, safety aspects and helping people select the best products for their lifestyle, itinerary or guests--have become a sort of passion project.
I look forward to lending my expertise and helping you rent the baby gear you need to have the best trip or visit possible. (And psst! Have a baby product question? Not sure which products to put on your registry or rent? Feel free to contact me!)

Tuesday grains continued trading at high volatility with corn trading down to new lows for the move and then back up to 13 ¼ cents higher on the day. Soybeans were also sharply lower but finished 17 ½ cents higher in the January contract. December wheat finished 3 ½ cents lower.
Grains were surprisingly strong today given the weakness in the outside markets. The Dow Jones was down over 130 today, while the US dollar was up sharply after more concerns in the Euro zone. GDP was out this morning and slightly better than analysts were expecting, but still below what is projected to start lowering the unemployment rate.
The strength is mostly just rebound activity from last week's break. There was not a whole lot of fresh news that prompted such a sharp turnaround today. Once corn got towards $5 opportunistic buyers came in to support the market. Gold and some other markets were sharply higher so it may be a jump to tangible assets over currency concerns.
This week volume may be light due to Thanksgiving. Friday is option expiration day for December Grain Options. Open interest for December $5 corn calls was at 41,042 coming into today. Many times the market moves towards high open interest strike prices on expiration, so short term we may see some more pressure. As we come to the end of the year we could see more liquidation from the market. January we will get an influx of data and should provide plenty of direction for the 2011 marketing year. We like staying with current hedge recommendations.

Nascar points leader Kyle Busch lost his driver's license for 45 days yesterday for driving 128 mph on a road close to a day-care center and church in a nearly $400,000 Lexus LFA. The car was bright yellow. It was real nice. No, he didn't get it at Wal-Mart.
Luckily for Busch, he doesn't need a license to compete in NASCAR. The top left-turning racer was also fined $1,000, sentenced to 30 hours of community service and put on one year of unsupervised probation.
Busch pleaded guilty to speeding and no contest to reckless and careless driving in North Carolina District Court in Iredell County.

CUPERTINO (AP) – Apple's holiday season proved to be a disappointment even though the company sold a record number of iPhones and iPads during its latest quarter.
The fiscal first-quarter earnings released Monday topped analyst projections, but Apple sold fewer iPhones than Wall Street had been anticipating. Management also forecast revenue for the current quarter that fell below analysts' predictions.
Apple's stock fell 5 percent in extended trading.
The Cupertino company sold 51 million iPhones during the three months ending Dec. 28. Analysts had predicted sales of about 55 million iPhones.
Apple sold 26 million iPads in the quarter.
Apple Inc. earned $13.07 billion, or $14.50 per share, in the quarter. That's roughly unchanged from $13.08 billion, or $13.81 per share, in the prior year.
Revenue rose 6 percent to $57.6 billion.

Like so many romances in this town, ours started at the gym.
I'd like to revise history and tell you that I was wearing one of those sleeveless T-shirts because my Rottweiler-like biceps refused to be chained and that I confidently walked up to this struggling damsel in distressed cotton and offered to help her load 45-pound plates onto the leg press.
I'd like to say that she was so smitten, so taken by my outdated chivalry and in-fashion muscles that she grabbed my cell, entered her number and begged me to meet her for a protein shake.
That is not what happened, except for the part about meeting at the gym, an independent place carved out of an old Art Deco movie house in Belmont Shore. As was common for me in those days, I was actually standing around, talking with a friend and not working out anything more than my voice. And I am sure that I haven't owned a shirt without sleeves since junior high.
As I chatted beneath the pounding second-story cardio room, she quickly crossed into view. My friend introduced us.
"John, do you know Robin?" he asked. "You're both journalists."
We had never met, but we knew each other's bylines. I wrote for the Long Beach paper, she for a travel magazine. I suggested that I do a piece on Long Beach for her magazine and she, acting generously, said that was a good idea.
In truth, I wanted to ask her out rather than write for her. But instead of getting her number, I allowed her to flee up the stairs to the exercise bikes.
Though I managed to ask strangers difficult questions for a living, I struggled with shyness in my private life. Many of my dates up until that point had made the first move.
My extroverted pal offered to help. He trotted upstairs, handed Robin my business card and told her, "He's interested."
"Oh, good," she said.
I would learn later that Robin thought I was interested in freelancing — not dating.
I waited to hear from her, but didn't. When I bumped into her she always seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere else.
I saw her once at a Laundromat in Belmont Heights, but I was there with a female friend, and Robin incorrectly (but understandably) assumed that we were sharing more than dryer sheets and quarter rolls. I saw Robin once more, at a Coffee Bean, and we talked for a few exciting minutes about a column I wrote for the paper before she dashed off, clearly disinterested.
Then 9/11 happened, and we kind of lost touch. I experienced a short but painful series of dating disasters. My friends were getting married, and I seemed to be going the other way, each new date progressively less appropriate for me than the last. Frustrated and 30, I vowed never to settle for what came my way again. I would be as assertive about love as I was about reporting.
Robin immediately came to mind as the kind of person the new, courageous me would ask out. I managed to get her email address and suggested coffee. She raised my ante, suggesting drinks instead.
We arranged to meet on a Sunday, and I was feeling newly confident about having shown some initiative. But the night before, I received an email from her saying she had just returned home from a trip to San Francisco and was too sick to go out.
I figured this was an excuse and didn't ask to reschedule.
Then that mutual friend of ours intervened, asking us to judge, of all things, a beach-side dog contest in the style of "Stupid Pet Tricks" that he was hosting for an animal charity.
After we named the winning pooches, we walked barefoot across the sand (enter requisite dating cliché and wordplay: long walk on the beach in, well, Long Beach) to a brewery at the base of the Belmont Pier. We immediately connected, talking much about our Southern California childhoods, hers in Palos Verdes, mine in Santa Monica, and our decisions to pursue careers that, let's face it, rarely lead to home ownership in either city.
Drinks turned into dinner at Café LaStrada, an Italian restaurant with French doors that swing open onto 2nd Street, Belmont Shore's main drag. Dinner turned into a kiss (please don't ask who initiated it) in front of a neighbor's picket fence, which I remember because I poked my hand while trying to steady myself. A kiss turned into a commitment and then a wintertime engagement on a cement park bench — nicer than it sounds — on Naples Island overlooking Alamitos Bay.
Engagement turned into marriage. Marriage turned into an upside-down mortgage, a right-side-up daughter, PTA meetings, homework, soccer games, pizza parties and SUVs.
Together for 10 years now, we still go to that same gym on the weekends. I am in far better shape married than single, probably because I don't stand around the gym talking, but nevertheless you still wouldn't want to see me in anything sleeveless.

My mate has been asking me from some time to get a photo of his new 2001 Porsche 911. So we went out for a few passes (8 actually) in the only tunnel in my home town of Perth. This is the result.
It proved to be quite a challenge. Firstly, we needed two cars, of course. The second with a driver and me (in the back seat) as the photographer. The light was poor so had to shoot at ISO 1600. The result was quite noisy but in a pic this small, isn't too much to worry about. I used a towel resting on a 1/4 open window to provide the stability and dampening against vibration in the car. The fact that there is an emergency phone every 20 metres or so made it difficult to get a clear background shot, not to mention ensuring that other cars were not in frame!

"You realize how powerful it [Sage CRM] is when an executive comes and asks you to track something within the business and you can turn it around for them in thirty seconds, and the system is user-friendly enough for them to run their own queries. They can get their hands on information much quicker than before"
Karen Snyder, Chief Information Officer, American Pool Enterprises
"You realize how powerful it [Sage CRM] is when an executive comes and asks you to track something within the business and you can turn it around for them in thirty seconds, and the system is user-friendly enough for them to run their own queries. They can get their hands on information much quicker than before"
Karen Snyder, Chief Information Officer, American Pool Enterprises
A leader in pool construction and maintenance as well as life-guarding and facility management, American Pool Enterprises used Sage CRM integrated with Sage 300 to drive further growth and dramatically reduce the time and money spent on administrative tasks.
Challenges for a fast-growing company
As well as managing compliance in a highly regulated sector, American Pool Enterprises has the annual pressure of supplementing the workforce of 250 employees with 5,000 seasonal hires. Growth through acquisition had compounded the challenges, spreading the business across 21 sites with silos of disconnected information. To eliminate manual data entry and automate processes, the decision was taken to integrate Sage CRM with Sage 300, the company's financial management system. Sage CRM provided a centralized source of accurate and up-to-date information, helping streamline processes and increase efficiency while giving executives better visibility of a complex business.
Karen Snyder, Chief Information Officer, also went with Sage CRM because it had an easy-to-use interface and could run on-site – the firm didn't want the loss of control of a cloud service; it wanted an on-premise solution that it could quickly access if there were any issues in the busiest times of the year.
Better sales and more satisfied customers
Sage CRM quickly became a central hub for diverse and complex processes and procedures that had previously been difficult to track. Consolidating all the information from different sites has dramatically reduced the time and money spent on administrative tasks and contributed to ongoing growth. Sage CRM replaced spreadsheets that the sales team had been using to independently manage the sales pipeline and existing customer relationships. At the same time, customer service has improved with issues resolved more quickly, leading to a steady rise in satisfaction ratings.
Increasing efficiency across the business
Sage CRM has made American Pool Enterprises more efficient. Not just in sales and customer service but also in the maintenance side of the business, which now has accessible and up-to-date records that ensure pool inspections have been carried out. Finance also uses the system to see bids that are pending and money that is owed. "Man hours are where the savings are coming from. We have been able to streamline so many processes that used to take people hours," said Snyder. "I used to spend half my days gathering and presenting data. Now I can use that time more productively to help the business grow."

RIPLEY, W.Va. — At the local Fourth of July parade, Alex Mooney proudly showed off his West Virginia concealed gun permit. The Republican's campaign colors are blue and gold — echoing the Mountain State's flagship public college, West Virginia University. In a gold polo shirt, Mooney pointed to his son sporting a WVU baseball cap, standing near the campaign's pickup truck stuffed with gold balloons.
In a place with a lot of Mountaineer pride, Mooney has outdone them all.
Here's the issue: Mooney isn't from West Virginia. He graduated from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, and until early 2013 , he was the chairman of the Maryland Republican Party. This November, Mooney will face off with former West Virginia Democratic Party Chairman Nick Casey in the race to succeed Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, who is running for Senate. He's already battled accusations from Democrats that he's a carpetbagger.
"I believe that it's a likely Republican seat," Mooney told CQ Roll Call. "I believe that my positions on the issues are where the voters stand."
Mooney, a former member of the Maryland legislature and a protege of ex-Maryland Republican Roscoe G. Bartlett, might have had a shot at replacing his former boss. But Democrats redrew Maryland's 6th District to be more favorable to their party following redistricting, and Democrats picked up the seat in 2012.
In college, Mooney ran for a state House seat in New Hampshire, making West Virginia the third state where he's sought public office.
Mooney is patient with the carpetbagger charges. He argued in previous interviews that the region he represented in western Maryland shares a border and many other similarities to West Virginia's 2nd District. And, underscoring that West Virginia is now home, he said last week that he intends to buy the house he is renting.
"It was brought up many times in the primary," he said of the accusations. "Voters had other issues that were more important. It's obviously a distraction."
Part of Mooney's problem is the woman he's seeking to replace. Capito's constituents are on a first-name basis with her. She is known to skip her flights home and make surprise calls on constituents on the six-hour drive from Washington, D.C., to Charleston, W.Va.
But many voters at the parade said they knew little about the race to replace the congresswoman and even less about Mooney.
Physician recruiter Brenda Greene, a registered Republican, weighed in when informed of Mooney's recent arrival to her state's politics.
"That bothers me," she said. "Unless they were from here originally and left ... but if they're coming here just to get a seat, just because this is the place to come to be able to bump somebody out, that's not the right mind set to be running for political office. "
So far, Mooney has surprised state Republicans with his work ethic. His primary win was no fluke; he ran the best campaign.
More importantly, his WVU colors gambit worked. As he worked the crowd on the parade route, a woman snapped a photo of him with her daughter.
West Virginia has welcomed outsiders before. Most notably, retiring Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., who was born in New York City. But some West Virginians remain dubious of Mooney.
"Rockefeller was different, I think, because for a lot of West Virginians, it was a point of pride because of our reputation," a West Virginia state Republican operative said.
But Mooney will have the vote of the state's most prominent Republican.
"It's going to be a tough race," Capito said of the contest for her district at the parade. "I think the state is trending more Republican because folks are concerned about the direction of the country."
She said, "I'll be voting for Alex Mooney."

How often do I need to replace the air filter on my (Airmax) Aeration system?
Mike – Flat Rock, MI
First, for people strapped for time, we'll go with the short answer. Under ordinary circumstances, we recommend filter replacements every six months. If you live in a dry, dusty environment, it's best to change the filter every three to four months. For Airmax® Filters, we strongly recommend Airmax® SilentAir™ Complete Filter Assembly, and Airmax® SilentAir™ Replacement Air Filter Elements for routine replacement.
Now, for those who want the rest of the story, here's the long answer, which, incidentally, also makes for fascinating cocktail party conversation. To make sense of our recommended filter replacement schedule, it's important to understand why it's even necessary at all.
First and foremost, regular filter changes will prevent the premature failure of your filter compressor pump. As it turns out, filter pumps are designed to perform best with clean filters. When filters become clogged, the compressor is forced to work harder. When it works harder, its wear parts are subject to greater wear and tear. And if a filter is left unchanged for too long, an overworked pump is likely to fail. Accordingly, given the cost of replacing a pump, regular filter changes are a much more economical alternative.
In addition to the stress they place on pumps, dirty filters won't allow the compressor to do the job they're intended to do, circulate pond water. As a result, the entire pond ecosystem feels the effects. With regular filter changes, pond water is safer for fish and plants, and clearer and more enjoyable for the people who care for them.
Occasionally, our customers ask whether filters can be cleaned and reused. While it seems like a logical option, filters can't be effectively cleaned – and their performance is significantly compromised. We also strongly discourage the installation of a wet element in a filter system, given the potential to further stress the pump and to unintentionally introduce foreign contaminants into the pond.
As an economical alternative to filter cleaning, we recommend the use of Airmax® SilentAir™ Replacement Air Filter Elements, rather than installing a complete filter unit. The savings are significant – and the filter system will be ready to perform flawlessly for another three to six months.
Happy aerating.

Küryakyn Adjustable Passenger Pegs
These kits give passengers the ability to move their feet from the board to the peg, or best of all, they can lay their calves on the pegs when the driver has their feet on the highway pegs (as shown left). You will love the flexibility! A bolt action locking device on the swing arm adds an intermediate position to make hours in the passenger seat more enjoyable for passengers of different heights and does not interfere with footboard operation. These work perfectly with stock H-D passenger boards or our ISO-Passenger Boards.

Amazon.com, the multi-billion online retail website, experienced an outage of unknown proportions on Thursday afternoon.
Rumblings of an Amazon.com outage began popping up on Twitter at about 2:40 PM ET. Multiple attempts to access the site around 3:15 PM ET on Thursday were met with the message: "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable." By 3:30 PM ET the site appeared to be back online for at least some users.
[WE'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE: Amazon EBS failure brings down Reddit, Imgur, others

Amazon officials have said that the biggest customer of the company's cloud division - Amazon Web Services (AWS) - is Amazon.com. AWS has experienced a variety of outages during the past three years, but usually the Amazon.com retail site is not impacted. An October 2012 Amazon Elastic Block Storage outage knocked out customers such as Reddit and an outage on Christmas Eve in 2012 brought down streaming movie service Netflix, but not Amazon.com. In this case, Amazon.com appears to be down, but the status report page for AWS's cloud division does not show any issues.
The website www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com confirmed that Amazon.com is down on Thursday afternoon.
Amazon.com's latest earnings report showed that the company makes about $10.8 billion per quarter, or about $118 million per day and $4.9 million per hour.
Twitter, the social network site, experienced issues earlier on Thursday as well, but service seemed to be restored by early afternoon.
Check back to NetworkWorld.com for additional information on Amazon.com's outage as it becomes available.

i like meizitang soft gel
This product is definitely worthy of recommendation! I have lost nearly 30 pounds in 72 days, though I didn't do anything like exercises to assist with. And until I write this review, the effect is still continuing. If you want to maximize the results, then I suggest you combine this with strict diets and proper workouts. My family members and friends will certainly be shocked at my makeovers, just finger crossed, lol
Cynthia Thomas
The result of new meizitang is amazing,Thanks magicmeizitang.com
You just couldn't imagine how much new meizitang curbed my appetite. I don't feel hungry even it's the lunch time. I have to make myself eat, as I worry about nutritional deficiency so much. new meizitang soft gel also gives me that extra energy to work out. Though the slimming effect is great, diets and exercises are still important.
Chelsea Spencer
Made the right decision
I wanted so badly to lose the 20+ pounds that I gained during my pregnancy period. However, my weight didn't change at all even I follow a strict diet plan and work out for three times a week. After many researches, I decided to give meizitang a shot, as I have heard a lot of good things about it before my purchase. Hope it works for me as well.
Danielle Mack
Meizitang Strong Version really works!!
In the first week using meizitang soft gel, I can feel it works. The temperature on my stomach is increasing, feeling like the fat is burning. Though I have tried various weight loss products, this is the only one that works for me. The results come out good even I do few exercises, but I firmly believe that the results would be better if you can combine cardio with this Meizitang Strong Version.
Victoria Mcguire
This is the slimming product that I want
Wow, it has been for a while since I taking this Meizitang diet pills. It worked as it was advertised, accelerated my body's metabolism, it also kept my itchy teeth under control. More importantly, botanical slimming soft gel definitely helped me lose some weight. I would highly recommend this product to both my family members and all the friends.

created 2008 · complexity basic · author Niels AdB · version 7.0
The following function can be used to maintain a list of handlers, to make handling a keypress in different contexts more dynamic.
function! RunHandlers(handler_list, default_action) for handler in a:handler_list execute "let handled = " handler."()" if handled return endif endfor execute a:default_action endfunction
This function calls a list of handlers until one returns true, indicating the event was handled. If no handler returns true, a default action is executed.
Take for example, the following
CloseScratch function.
function! CloseScratch() if &buftype == "nofile" && &bufhidden == "hide" && !&swapfile bdelete return 1 endif return 0 endfunction
RunHandlers I can now dynamically overload
<Esc> to call this function (in normal mode), like so:
" Default Escape and clear message line. function! DefaultEsc() normal! "<Esc>" echo "" endfunction let g:esc_handler = [] call add(g:esc_handler, "CloseScratch") nnoremap <Esc> :call RunHandlers(g:esc_handler, "call DefaultEsc()")<CR>
Adding more handlers should be easy enough. In this case,
CloseScratch is tried first, and if that fails
DefaultEsc is called.
Try using :silent or <silent> rather than an empty echo to make the bottom line clear.
This is a pretty cool tip though! I like the idea of multiple things mapped to the same key.
- I think the idea of
echo ""is to clear the message line, for example, if you previously got a "Pattern not found" message.
- I think you're right about the purpose, but I personally think it is better to avoid the message in the first place with :silent! or the 'e' option for searches. But I guess I'm just nitpicking.
- Here is the idea: I search for 'fangle'. Oops, not found. So now there is a "Pattern not found" message on my screen. Some people (I am one of them) can't concentrate while prominent messages are displayed, so I have mapped Space to ':nohl' and ':echo ""'. I once tried to convince Bram that Esc should default to do exactly that because I've seen other people use Vim and go crazy while trying to remove no-longer wanted search highlights and messages. No one on vim_use could understand my POV.
- I think you're right about the purpose, but I personally think it is better to avoid the message in the first place with :silent! or the 'e' option for searches. But I guess I'm just nitpicking.
Will someone please explain what DefaultEsc actually does!? I can understand the echo, and I know that
normal! "<Esc>" will execute the normal command "press the Escape key" (without invoking any mapping for that key). But what does the Escape key do in normal mode (apart from beep/flash if you had them turned on)??
- for example it cancels any typed v:count or v:register
I have improved the script, and I can see that it is potentially useful, but I think the tip is pretty disappointing without a realistic example of chaining a couple of handlers. --JohnBeckett 11:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I wish I were in Paris pretty much every day of the year, but I especially want to be there this week! From now through the 10th, Colette and Chanel have teamed up to provide one of the coolest shopping experiences ever. Fortunately, Susie Bubble of Style Bubble checked out the shop and took some nice photos so I will be living vicariously through her… sigh. All images are from StyleBubble.com – Merci!
I want everything pictured below. I'm so sad I'm not there. For more descriptions of all the prettiness and to hear about it from someone who's actually seen it, please visit Style Bubble! Oh, and the last image is of a new Coco tee by Dear Dana that Colette recently added to their webstore – I like it but it's a $100 t-shirt. I'd rather put that money toward the Coco doll!! If anyone knows if that doll is for sale, and if so for how much and how to get one please let me know!!

Pokémon Conquest is not purely about the battles. While the battles help you take the various nations in the Ransei region, there's much more to do. The game has various timeframes for you to work in, and this allows you to go to all adjacent and captured areas and help build up your army and strengthen the Pokémon.
Choosing an area
When you begin the game, you only have access to one area with a neighbouring area for you to explore. You have the ability to enter the area and explore the nation. You can view the different bits of information about the enemy areas and communicate with the leaders.
Once each of the warriors under your control have acted, the turn & day ends and the opponents can move, causing you to have to react to their decisions including the possibility of them invading your nation
Increasing the Army
Once you are in control of a nation, you have the ability to explore within it. Throughout the areas, there are a number of caves, fields and other areas for you to explore. In these areas, you will occassionally find Pokémon and trainers which you can then challenge and add them to your army. This is done through a process called Scouting.
Inside the Nations
When inside the nations, in addition to the various areas, there are a few characters who will aid you in your army.
Giving Items
Another option given before you enter the nation is attaching items to the Pokémon. These items vary from giving the Pokémon a boost to their stats, to having an item to use during the battle and even evolution. The items can only be held one at a time and can be switched at will. They are obtained within battles through treasure chests in addition to purchasing in the stores
Taking a Nation
If there are any nations denoted by a red flag, they are able to be attacked by your army. Doing this would allow you to take the nation and explore all the contents of it. However, each nation will have its own leader you need to defeat and this can be extremely challenging.
