Rated 1 out of 5 by ac20 from Poor Quality The lids to these jars tarnished very quickly and are impossible to clean. I have a small kitchen with limited storage space and wanted to buy some nice-looking jars to use as countertop storage. These jars do not seal tightly and look cheap, and I felt they are not useable for countertop storage as they are simply a display of poor craftmanship and dinginess. Do not waste your money on these.Date published: 2017-06-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Daria from Great canisters!! stopped at the store to view these but they were not available.

When opened, it was discovered that one of the canisters is cracked and unusable. They now reside in the carton in my dining room unwanted.

I knew these would be nice but was thrilled when they arrived. They are even prettier in person. I would describe the look as classic elegance.

I just got them and yes, they are great. The quality is wonderful and they are very nice looking. The problem with them is the finishing on the lids. They are well made but poorly finished. I had read a couple of reviews that stated that the lids tarnish...they do not tarnish, they rust. It's chrome plated metal. But the chrome plating seems to be done after they are completed and therefore not fully plated so some of them have rust spots along the very edge. Williams-Sonoma is sending me a replacement.Date published: 2014-09-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Avadel from Excellent Canisters Very good quality, I have had these canisters for about 5 years.

April 24, 2004
SUNRISE, Fla. -
The U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team, which includes Bronco rising sophomore Erik Ustruck, struggled in their fourth game in five days, but still managed to come away with a 2-1 victory against the South Florida Select behind goals from Jamie Watson and Arturo Alvarez this afternoon in Sunrise, Fla. The match brought the Under-20's third camp of the year to a close, as the players will travel home on Sunday morning.
"We didn't play the best to our abilities today, but I'm happy we still were able to come away with the victory," U.S. Under-20 head coach Thomas Rongen said. "I am pleased with what I saw during the week and it was a plus to get positive results in all four matches, but more importantly, I had a chance to see how these 23 players performed against international competition. We'll continue to evaluate the players in our pool as we move closer to qualifying for the U-20 World Championship in 2005, and begin to mold our roster for that tournament."
The Under-20s were scheduled to play Haiti Select, which they defeated 1-0 on April 21, but Haiti informed the U.S. it was unable to participate late Friday afternoon. South Florida Select, a combination of the top college players in the area, was able to fill in at the last moment and provided the Under-20s with a quality opponent that tested their defensive backline. Without a goalkeeper, the USA's Stephen Sandbo filled in for South Florida in front of the net.
The U.S. jumped out to an early lead in the third minute as Alvarez hit the ball with the outside of his right foot from midfield to a streaking Watson, who had gotten behind the South Florida defense. Watson collected the ball about 25-yards from goal and with just Sandbo to beat, calmly placed the ball to the upper-right side of the goal.
After falling behind, South Florida came to life and began dominating the flow of the game for the next 20 minutes by keeping possession and finding holes in the U-20 backline. South Florida's first shot came in the 10th minute as midfielder Leo Souza got free down the left flank and sent in a cross to the back post to Sam Dzegede, but his header went wide left. Five minutes later, Dzegede height gave the U.S. trouble again. Hugh Leefha served in a ball from the right sideline and Dzegede rose above Danny Szetela to head a cross from back into the front of the goal for John Camare, who hit his volley over the bar.
In the 21st minute, South Florida found the equalizer with a nice give-and-go between Jared Rose and Camare in midfield. Holding possession about 40 yards from goal, Camare touched it to his right to Rose, who quickly knocked it ahead, back to Camare as he raced towards goal. The strong forward was able to hold off U.S. left back Nathan Sturgis, collect the ball and bury his shot past Andrew Kartunen into the upper right of the net.
The U.S. had two good chances to regain the lead, but Sandbo came up big for South Florida with stops on Will John and Watson in a four minute span. Szetela started the first chance in the 27th minute as he won a challenge at midfield and pushed the ball up the right flank for Watson. Watson crossed it in for forward John, who one-timer was saved by Sandbo as he just got a piece of to knock out for a corner kick. A few minutes later, Watson collected a ball just outside the penalty area and with a defender blocking Sandbo's view ripped a shot that looked destined for the lower-left corner before the lanky 'keeper stretched out a paw to knock it clear.
Alvarez gave the U.S. the game-winner in the 38th minute off a free kick awarded 25-yards from goal after a South Florida defender was called for a handball. The San Jose Earthquake forward powered the dead ball around the South Florida wall and into the upper-left corner of the goal, giving Sandbo no chance to make a save.
Sandbo made two more saves before half, to keep South Florida down by only a goal. In the 42nd minute, Watson crossed the ball to a wide-open Szetela at the top of the 18-yard box and the midfielder unleashed a bullet on goal, but Sandbo punched it out for a corner. Two minutes later, Alvarez took a free kick from almost the exact spot as the one he scored on earlier, but this time tried to find the upper-right corner, only to see Sandbo reach up and parry it over the bar.
At halftime, the Rongen subbed in a number of players or moved them to different positions. Justin Hughes replaced Kartunen in goal, Watson dropped back to midfield as Kamani Hill came in at forward and Szetela switched from an inside midfielder to outside right.
The second half, both sides had a number of opportunities to add to the score, but neither could convert.
The U.S. had the first chance in the 51st minute as second half substitute Christian Jimenez curled in a cross from the left flank that John headed just inches over the crossbar.
During the next 20 minutes, South Florida peppered the U.S. goal, but struggled to get their chances on goal. In the 62nd minute, it appeared South Florida had found the equalizer as Camare knocked in a rebound off a save by Hughes on a strike by Matias Asorey, but Camare was called offside.
Three minutes later, Asorey put another shot on goal as he drilled a knuckling ball from 35 yards out that had Hughes beat, but found the crossbar to allow the U.S. to keep their one-goal lead.
In the 69th minute it looked as though the U.S. would get some breathing room as Szetela slipped a through ball straight up the field to Hill, who had timed his run perfectly to beat the offside trap. With Sandbo coming off his line to cut off the forward's angle, Hill hit his shot wide left of the target.
In the final minute of the match, Sturgis guaranteed the U.S. would finish their weeklong training camp with four victories as he headed the final South Florida shot off the line. On the play, Oscar Gil raced up the right sideline and sent in a low cross that Walter Yoder and Hughes both tried to win, colliding into each other and allowing the ball to continue to the far post. With Hughes on the ground, Asorey put a shot on goal, but Sturgis was there to head it clear.

There has been one big change since our report last week that city officials are in "wait and see" mode on the planned development that will gut a block of active retail and apartments on E Pine at Melrose. We've already offered one explanation of why the block matters for the community and small businesses in the area. Below, Schemata Workshop's John Feit tells us more than the Bauhaus building is worthy of being "saved." — jseattle
The Pinevue Apartments (Image: John Feit)
The heritage structures along Capitol Hill's Pike/Pine corridor house mixed use, residential, and commercial tenants. The most prominent and best preserved of these buildings are the large number of former auto showrooms, the so-called auto-row buildings that are comprised of large-span ground floor spaces with high ceilings. Some heritage structures originally housed, as they do today, a mix of uses with ground floor retail and housing above. Some are strictly residential. These original patterns of development, or more specifically the pattern or planning for the building's use, are reflected in their elevations. In those buildings along Pike/Pine that were originally commercial, the ground floor has expansive amounts of glass which are crisply framed by the building's structure, with the resulting clarity carried out on the upper floors with little variation. A typical example of this rational, commercial frame expression can be seen along Pine Street, between Crawford Place and Summit Avenue.
Capitol Hill's residential buildings too, have a similar uniformity of expression between the ground and upper floors. In residential buildings, the expression was one of smaller, individually framed or so-called 'punched' windows, with the apartment building on Pine Street and Belmont being a fine example.
A unified expression between a building's base and top was clearly not the primary goal for the designers of Pine Street's Pinevue Apartments, making it a rarity among our heritage buildings. Next to the Melrose Building (home to Bauhaus), and threatened by the same re-development project, I would argue that architecturally the Pinevue Apartments are just as significant, and just as worthy of preservation as is Melrose. Unlike the above mentioned typical Pike/Pine buildings, Pinevue presents us with a unique expression between lower and upper floors – an interesting merging of the expression of ground floor frame (commercial) and upper floor punched opening (residential). And though there are other buildings on the Hill that seek a strong distinction between base and top, none shows the same level of determination in differentiating their two uses as does the Pinevue.
The Pinevue's ground floor columns bear little resemblance to — or provide ordering for — the upper floors' rather randomly spaced and grouped punched openings. This singular expression of the columns is furthered not only by the white of their terra-cotta but also by their framing the black painted storefront, not to mention being quite different than the dark red brick above. The fact that the columns are just slightly in front of (proud of) the brick is a wonderful detail that clearly punctuates the difference between base and top.
Despite these larger design moves that emphatically state the difference between commercial and residential uses, the Pinevue's architects also looked to provide some unity to the upper and lower floors, but in a much more subtle way than one typically encounters along Pike/Pine, and in a way that did not conflict with the overall goal of programmatic differentiation. The small divided lights above the storefronts (especially handsome when seen from inside the retail spaces) are repeated on the residential windows above, whose terra-cotta sills are a match to the material of the columns below. Another nice detail that weaves together the entire Pine Street façade is the crenelations along the parapet that are of similar dimension – but different materiality – than the terra-cotta columns that they line up with below. This confident uniting of what on the larger canvas are disparate parts with the smallest of details reveals a level of sophistication and maturity by the Pinevue architects that make this building one of the Hill's finest buildings (as well as presenting a lesson for restraint for us to treasure and advocate for).
The Pinevue's intact original retail design leaves no question that it was built expressly for smaller tenants, tenants that it continues to successfully house to this day. The architectural clues are abundant, and include numerous doors framed by a rarely seen diagonally oriented storefront, complete with the requisite delicate corners. These angle storefronts have served the tenants well, as they provide greater visibility of their wares to passersby, and stand in contrast to the typical, larger, and planar storefront retail spaces along Pike/Pine. The Melrose Building also has it original storefronts intact, resulting in an entire block-frontage of intact heritage structures with no significant sign of alteration, speaking to the ability of this quality pair of buildings to continue to successfully attract retail tenants throughout their almost 100 year histories. A noteworthy achievement indeed.

Clearly designed for home improvement types who are quick on the draw, this electric screwdriver is modeled after a classic revolver handgun and comes with six interchangeable bits stored in the cylinder.
Now the $50 screwdriver's 3.6 volt motor doesn't provide quite the same penetration power as, say, a speeding bullet. But it should be more than enough kick to bury a screw into a piece of lumber. And to make the handgun experience more realistic, an LED light at the end of the barrel recreates the effect of a muzzle flash while also illuminating the screw in the gun's targeting. Then again, no one every wanted to be known as the fastest screw in the West.

Our kids are great travelers and we love taking our kids on vacations. But this week was just for the grown ups. We did all the adventurous things we couldn't do if we traveled with our littles. One of my favorite things about hubby's job is that twice a year they give us the opportunity to earn trips to some crazy over the top locations to do a little business. They put us up in hotels that make you feel like a movie star. "Mrs. Terry, can I offer you a chilled towel?" "Mrs. Terry, let me pull your car around for you." "Can I refresh your drink, Mrs. Terry?" It is such a far cry from the Super 8 type motels we go to when we travel on our own dime! We got spoiled to the nth degree. Every time we left our room, little elves went in there and straightened it up for us. They turned down my bed every night and left me a Belgian chocolate on my pillow and turned on classical music. Opulence always makes me feel a little awkward and guilty, but this week we just rolled with it. I soaked in every minute of someone waiting on me hand and foot.

This was the first time that Kamron and I have traveled alone together since we had Sadie over 7 years ago. I'll just throw this out there- when no one has to take care of kids, it is so much easier to have a smooth and happy marriage! We became super fun people who didn't have a care in the world! I like the vacation versions of ourselves.
We tried so many things and did so many things that are out of our comfort zone!
We drove all over Kauai, Hawaii in a convertible. I'd never even been in a convertible before, but I have to say, it was a whole lot more fun than my mom-mobile mini van!

The ocean scares me to death. I'm terrified of jellyfish and octopus and stingrays. The last time I tried to jump in the ocean about 10 years ago, I hyperventilated and had to be pulled back on the boat by some giant men. I never even tried it again until this week. I figured it was now or never to conquer my fear of the ocean, so we signed up for a surfing lesson. It was probably the highlight of my trip. Kamron got up on the second wave he tried, it took me til the fourth attempt to stand upright on my board. I took a few tumbles where I snorted half the sea up my nose. It was like an extreme Netti pot. I'd love to try surfing again. It was so much fun!
|Hanalei Bay- where we took our surfing lesson
|Check out that rainbow!
|Lappert's Island Ice Cream was one of our favorite discoveries!
On our last day in Hawaii, we went on a catamaran tour of the Napali Coast. National Geographic calls it one of the 10 most beautiful natural wonders in the world. I whole heartedly agree. We saw about 20 migrating humpback whales. We never saw them breach all the way out of the water, but it was so cool to see them shooting water out of their spouts on the horizon. Since I was all about conquering my fear of the ocean this week, we threw on some snorkel gear and did some snorkeling on the coast. It was amazing! We saw countless tropical fish and a couple of sea turtles. I loved the whole experience.
Overall, it was just a glorious week filled with adventure and time to be together. It's always wonderful to bring some silliness and some romance back into the picture. I'm not sure what the mister would say, but I think I fell in love with this boy all over again.

The Alliance gained 62 new members this year, and 34 of them made the drive to the Odak residence in Golden to learn more about the activities scheduled for Jill Behr's term as president.
First up is the Oct. 5 Guys & Gals Theatre Night where guests will make a 6:45 p.m. refreshment stop at the Corner Office before traveling on to the Garner Galleria Theatre for an 8 p.m. performance of "Love, Sex and the Second City." The event, Behr said, is being marketed exclusively by social media; the $55 tickets can be purchased from Linda Mitchell, 303-446-4812.
Act II of Theatre Threads — a luncheon and fashion show where 22 Alliance members will model costumes culled from the Denver Center Theatre Company closets — is on Oct. 21. Lisa Daniel-Johnson and Gayle Novak are chairing the $100-per-ticket event held in the Seawell Grand Ballroom; Linda Mitchell can be contacted for tickets for this function, as well.

West Indies v England First Test 2009
It's easy to have a knee-jerk reaction to a poor performance and England have been abject on many occasions throughout the years. But taking into account the strength of the opposition the match that has just finished has to go down as the most pitiful performance during my time of watching Test Cricket. The previous one for me was in New Zealand in 1984 (in fact 25 years ago almost to the day) when England allowed New Zealand to make over 300 on an appalling wicket and then failed to make three figures in either innings. The current match surpasses that for ineptitude only because on that occasion they had to contend with Hadlee on a terrible pitch - the main disaster area had been the bowling of Pigott, Botham and Cowans and even Willis had figures that flattered his actual performance. The humiliations suffered over the years at the hands of very strong Australian and West Indies sides were understandable if not entirely acceptable but today was the height of embarrassment - that of course is not to take any credit away from the West Indies who deserved to win.

How much water can be added to 32 oz.?- Asked by glen on 11-Jan-14
This primer does not require additional water as it is made to the consistency to prime canvas. It can be thinned with water as desired. If adding directly to the container, it is recommended to add a small amount of water at a time and thoroughly mix prior to adding more water. Avoid over thinning.- Answered by MisterArt on 13-Jan-14

Kenneth O. Elvik, Editor IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY
. Silver, Publishing in Boston, 1726-57, The Accounts of Daniel Henchman (Charlottsville, Virginia: The University Press of Virginia, 1976, 21 pp. paper, $3.00)
Reviewed by William Holmes Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.
The accounting historian looking at old accounts has the advan-tage of two points of view. On the one hand, he is interested in the level of accounting techniques employed, and hopeful in this re-gard of finding something unique or ahead of its time; on the other hand he is looking at the content of the accounts, searching for information that will add to knowledge of contemporary social and business practices. If he is very lucky, he may on occasion find both.
Publishing in Boston, 1726-57, The Accounts of Daniel Henchman offers no sophisticated accounting techniques; or at least not di-rectly so. However, it is an excellent example of extracting the last drop of useful information from a few simple accounts and putting it to work to portray the daily round of a busy Colonial publisher in his dealings with his paper manufacturers, printers, and book-binders. We see him grappling with cost and break-even problems, with setting rational mark-on margins during periods of severe in-flation, and with a chronic shortage of ready cash. It all sounds vaguely similar to something we read in last week's Business Week or Barrons. Business acumen is obviously not the prerogative of the 20th Century.
All in all, a fascinating glimpse of an early Colonial businessman.
New England is a goldmine of such records tucked away in state and town archives, in museums, and local historical societies, for the most part untouched by accounting historians. We badly need some latter day accounting "forty-niners" to carry on the good work and do a lot of digging. Mr. Silver has shown what can be done.

CIOs must think cloud before they think big
Jul 30, 2013
Originally published in Inside Networks (insidenetworks.co.uk/)
Providers have long championed the benefits of the cloud as a tool for business growth and now the commercial sector is starting to recognize this, as one quarter of IT and Data Managers recently surveyed by Unisphere Research confirmed they are using public cloud services in an enterprise capacity.
However, it is not only cloud that is gaining exposure within the world of business. Big data is currently the IT buzz word, becoming the must-have for organisations on a global scale. According to IDC, the big data market is set to expand at a compound annual growth rate of more than 31 per cent by 2016, with net worth hitting nearly $24 billion. Whether it is compiling and analysing customer behavior, building energy management systems, or information analysis across smart cities, big data is a force for innovation.
Before CIOs jump in at the big data deep end, it is important that a business understands how to unlock its true potential. Big data is currently driving an increased demand for storage, leading to a need to develop an effective cloud strategy first. According to IDC's Big Data Survey in the first quarter of 2013, 68.6 per cent of respondents cited performance as the primary driver for selecting storage architecture. It is important for businesses not to implement cloud as an afterthought, but to implement it as part of their IT strategy.
The cloud can be used as a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of computing resources. It is ideal for supporting big data storage, rapidly crunching large volumes of unstructured data, identifying patterns and improving business strategies. The cloud eliminates large upfront IT investments, lets businesses easily scale out infrastructure, while paying for the capacity they use. This helps increase the business's scalability, performance, cost-effectiveness, reliability, and manageability of big data.
Its elasticity also means that a variety of processes can be made more effective; from enterprise high-volume external data sources that require pre-processing, to applications beyond the company's own-premises, or provisioning of large analytic sandboxes for short turnaround timescales. Cloud computing together with big data creates powerful value and insight that helps businesses innovate. This symbiotic approach to big data and the cloud is one recipe that will ensure companies can build momentum in their space and stay ahead of their competitors.

"HIV is a gay disease." This is a myth that refuses to die. Misinformation, fear, ignorance and media sensationalism continue to fuel this myth in America. For every one person like me trying to tell the truth about HIV transmission, there seems to be a dozen shrieking, simpleminded, natural-born dullards with a staggering inability to grasp reality.
HIV is not a gay disease. Nope. All of us are at risk in getting HIV from unsafe sex or other modes of blood to blood contact, like sharing needles. Television talk shows and all those fundamentalist/conservative/family values groups are chock full of flaky, clueless lightweights who made up their minds twenty years ago that HIV is a product of the so-called "gay lifestyle" and it's God's wrath on homosexuals. These poor creatures are so invested in this myth that they are incapable of hearing the truth. They continue to spew their self-righteous, delusional feculence to the detriment of all humanity. They are, in fact, shameless, insidious prevaricators driven solely by their irrational loathing and fear of homosexuality.
The truth is that 16,000 people worldwide are infected with HIV every single day (World Health Organization). They are not all gay. In the United States, HIV infection rates have held steady at 40,000 per year, but recent preliminary data suggests those rates are on the rise. They are not all gay. African-American and Hispanic women together represent less than one-fourth of all U.S. women, but account for more than three-fourths (76%) of AIDS cases among women in this country (CDC Update, 6/98). Women now account for 43% of all HIV infected people over the age of 15 (New York Times, 11/98). In just over a decade, the proportion of all AIDS cases reported among adult and adolescent women tripled, from 7% in 1985 to 22% in 1997 (CDC Update, 6/98).
Further, more than 30 million people around the world are living with HIV or AIDS, and by the year 2000 that figure will reach 40 million (UNAIDS/World Health Organization, 12/97). They are not all gay. AIDS now kills more people worldwide than any other infection, including malaria and tuberculosis.
Sure, whites and people with higher incomes and insurance in the United States are gaining greater access to HIV therapies and there is a drop in AIDS-related deaths. But African-American, Hispanic and young white women are being exposed to HIV through heterosexual sex with male partners who use intravenous drugs. As a result, HIV rates are climbing disproportionately among these populations in America, and these women often do not have access to effective medical care. In Africa, Asia and India, HIV has always been and remains and overwhelmingly heterosexual disease. (Note to the purveyors of the "AIDS Is God's Wrath on Homosexuals" theory: Your deity appears to be somewhat inept at determining sexual orientation; it occurs to me that your God bears a more striking resemblance to bumbling Aunt Clara on those Bewitched reruns.)
Women contract HIV. Women get AIDS. So let's talk about what's going on. The female genital tract (vagina) is normally populated by a flora, helpful bacteria like those "active cultures" listed on yogurt containers. This flora (lactobacilli) produces hydrogen peroxide to kill invading organisms and lower the pH level in the vagina, making it less hospitable for foreign organisms. A loss of lactobacillli lowers the natural protective barriers and leads to an increased risk of infection with sexually transmitted diseases. Recent studies conducted by the American Society of Microbiology confirm this. In a study of 144 female sex-workers in Thailand, those with loss of vaginal flora were twice as likely as those with a normal balance of vaginal organisms to contract HIV. A study of 657 female sex-workers in Kenya showed that the risk of contracting gonorrhea rose by 78% in women with low levels of lactobacilli.
Maintaining a natural balance of flora/lactobacilli is beneficial to all women; it is a natural defense against STDs. However, it's difficult for a variety of reasons. For instance, taking a course of antibiotics to combat an infection somewhere else in the body often wipes out vaginal flora, often leading to a yeast infection (an inflammation that makes women more susceptible to STDs). If a woman must take antibiotics, she should also begin taking an acidophilus supplement to replace lactobacilli (even eating plain yogurt several times a day is helpful).
Another practice that has a strong negative impact on vaginal flora is douching. Numerous studies concluded douching destroys helpful vaginal flora. In fact, Dr. Sharon Hillier of the University of Pittsburgh, a founder of vaginal lactobacilli research, says, "Douching has no known medical benefit, but there is a $100 million industry out there selling perfumed water to women, and they fall for the advertising." Dawn Averitt, founder of WISE (Women's Information and Service Exchange) believes that women living with HIV should heed Dr. Hillier's advice and avoid douching.
Some other things to remember: spermicides won't kill HIV; they're designed to kill sperm. And then there's nonoxynol-9, the spermicide that does kill HIV in test tubes. Allow me to point out that vaginas are not test tubes. There is no evidence that nonoxynol-9 protects against HIV transmission outside the controlled, laboratory test tube model. In fact, several studies suggest it can actually irritate the delicate skin of genitals, thus promoting HIV infection. Nor does nonoxynol-9 seem to decrease your chances of getting chlamydia or gonorrhea. In fact, researchers see more vaginal irritation and genital lesions in women who use nonoxynol-9. I say avoid the stuff. Have your partner wear a latex condom and use a water-based lubricant that doesn't contain nonoxynol-9.
Speaking of condoms, there is an alternative for women. It's called Reality, a female condom. I don't have to tell you how many guys balk at wearing a condom, so this gives women a real choice. The Reality condom is inserted into the vagina. It comes with an explicit set of instructions and an 800 number for questions. It's a little funky looking, but well worth a try.
Finally, a disturbing survey emerged from last summer's 12th World AIDS Conference. A University of Illinois study indicated that lesbians aren't necessarily engaging in risk reduction activities. Of 82 lesbians who reported vaginal sex within a six month period, only four used a barrier. Of 18 who had vaginal sex with a man in that interval, only one-third used a condom. I can almost hear you saying, "Oh, lesbians don't get HIV or STDs." Another myth. Lesbians who share dildos or vibrators risk infection. Lesbians who engage in unprotected sex with men risk infection. Straight, bisexual or lesbian, the risk is real.

Stryker buying Israeli medical device firm for $135 million
Stryker Corp. in Kalamazoo announced today a definitive agreement to acquire privately held Surpass Medical Ltd. for $135 million.
Surpass was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with manufacturing and research and development facilities in Miramar, Fla. According to Stryker, Surpass is developing and commercializing next-generation flow diversion stent technology to treat brain aneurysms. Surpass' key product, the NeuroEndoGraft family of flow diverters, is designed to redirect blood flow away from an aneurysm, allowing a stable clot to be formed within the aneurysm pouch.
The NeuroEndoGraft is CE Marked, meaning it has met European Union health, safety and environmental requirements. The product has had a limited launch underway outside the U.S., and the company will begin enrolling patients in an FDA authorized IDE clinical trial in the U.S. in the current quarter.
"The acquisition of Surpass Medical further builds on Stryker's global platform in the fast growing and highly innovative neurovascular market and helps broaden our offering in complete stroke care," said Kevin A. Lobo, president and CEO of Stryker.
Upon closing of the deal, the acquisition is expected to be neutral to Stryker's 2012 earnings per share, excluding acquisition and integration-related charges. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Stryker, one of the world's major medical technology companies, manufactures and sells reconstructive implants, medical and surgical equipment and neurotechnology and spine products.
It is a publicly held company traded on the NYSE as SYK.

CH7. It's the old "247" Chestnut Hill phone exchange from the days before push button phones. It was the standard way to remember your phone number as recently as the 1970s.
That old exchange inspired the name of Chestnut7, the new, upscale, casual American bistro from rising restaurant entrepreneur Brian Harrington and his partner Kevin Clibanoff of Bridget's Steak House and KC's Alley in Ambler. It will open the first week of May at the old Solaris location, 8201 Germantown Ave. Solaris closed its doors for good in January after a 15-year run.
For Public House Investments — the company Harrington runs with Gary Cardi, Frank Falseto and Chris Coco — Chestnut7 will be its 15th restaurant, and its fifth in the Philadelphia area. They've also got four locations in New York City and others in Stamford, Conn., Wilmington, Del., Baltimore, Md. and Washington, D.C.
In January of 2008, the quartet opened Field House, a sports bar in Reading Terminal's old Independence Bar & Grill location that seats 315. It's the largest restaurant in Center City.
Philadelphia is already home to a number of restaurants operated by prominent chefs and operators like Stephen Starr and Jose Garces. Food Network celebrity Bobby Flay owns a burger joint in University City. But now the Public House four are gaining ground.
In February of 2007 they opened Mission Grill, a 140-seat Southwestern cuisine operation on the ground floor of the old Bell Telephone building at 1835 Arch Street. Last May, the four opened City Tap House at 3925 Walnut Street in University City. Its 120-seat dining room features American pub fare and 60 different drafts, one of the most extensive collections in the region.
Chestnut7, the upscale brick oven pizza, oyster and seafood bistro will feature 10 craft beers, both local brews, like Troegs and Dogfish, and national brews like Belles, on a rotating basis. Its 30-label wine list will range from $18 to $60 a bottle, or $5 to $8 a glass. One of the main attractions will be thin, gourmet pizzas with unique toppings, including local meats.
The Local asked Harrington what is it about Philly that is breeding the community of culinary culture and the droves of foodies. Is it the popularity of shows like Top Chef and Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares? Is there something in the air here?
"Philly's an awesome restaurant town," Harrington said. "Part of it is the small size of the city. We're lucky to have a lot of great operators and chefs."
And why Chestnut Hill?
"We believe Chestnut Hill is turning a corner with people like Chip Roman [Blackfish, Conshohocken] opening Mica [which is scheduled to open at the former location of Cuba! in March.]"
And Harrington, who lives in Lafayette Hill knows the neighborhood well.
"I spend a lot of my time on the Avenue myself and with my family," he said. "We love Chestnut Hill and we want to support the community and add to the Avenue."
Harrington said renovations to the old Solaris will include landscaping to the outdoor seating area with a rose garden and building an island bar inside with hanging televisions "so people can watch the Phils." There will also be a number of large communal tables for parties of six and up.
"It's going to be real upscale, but the price point is going to be between $6 and $18," Harrington said. "It's going to be a great place to go grab some oysters and wine or pizza and beer."
Harrington, who attended Germantown Academy as a kid, started in the restaurant industry carrying plates and silverware and scrapping food intro trashcans as a busboy at Olive Garden in the late '80s.
"I had aspirations to be successful," said Harrington, whose four boys attend Ancillae-Assumpta Academy in Wyncote, "and I'm still trying to achieve them."
He credits elements of his success to interacting with customers, developing regular patrons, making friends "and making people feel at home. I spend a lot of time in my restaurants and get to know the guests."
He's hopeful that Chestnut7 will be a jewel in Chestnut Hill's restaurant scene.
"This will be a really fun, cool spot," he said.

Hi!, new here from Argentina. As you can see in the pictures below I´m a true Dynomaniac!
Some other pics I found.
here is the pics of the new Dyno Cream-cycle with 26" Large Marge Wheels and powdercoated everything!
I just became a member of this site and because i am a Dyno lover i am glad i found this Dyno topic.
I bought my Roadster like 10 years ago and it looked a mess...everything was rusted and the paint was in bad condition.
So last year i took it apart and started buying new parts...this year i brought it to a painter who did an amazing job.
The Roadster had to have a more rough look but with minimal elements....here is the result!!! Let me know what ya think!
Re: Dyno Rulez
Does anyone know if the Kustom Kruiser come in a 3 speed or if there might be a kit for one?
Purple Haze, all in mah brain...
That's a sweet looking Dyno!!

With the Universalis program open, open the "File" menu and select the "Create e-book" option:
A window will appear, asking you what e-book format you want: choose Kindle. On successive pages, it will ask you what dates you want to cover in your e-book, and what pages you want for each day.
Finally, Universalis will create the e-book you have asked for. How long the creation takes depends on the size of the e-book. If you are doing a whole year at once, the e-book file could take 15 minutes to create.
If the e-book takes an extremely long time to convert into Kindle format (up to an hour and a half), you must be using an old version of Amazon's Kindlegen utility. In that case, you should download a newer version and put it where Universalis can find it: instructions are here.
When the e-book is ready, this is what you will see:

We have been publishing the elegant Mizner's Dream annual magazine for the Boca Raton Resort & Club for many years now, and I always look forward to it. For starters, I love going over to that hotel and seeing everyone on vacation or all dressed up waiting for dinner. I love the new Beach Club (I still call it new), and the Grand Piazza and Morimoto and the yachts docked out back. And now, the Resort is reimagining its fabulous Spa Palazzo with a whole new luxury line of Natura Bissé skincare products and treatments.
And I got to go to the launch party.
Natura Bissé was launched in 1979 in Barcelona and is an international must-have beauty line for people who routinely do things like algae wraps and magnetic rituals and glyco peels and all those other spa-speak treatments that translate to sheer pampering and deliciousness. This will be the first spa in the United States to feature Natura Bissé exclusively, according to Joachin Serra, one of the company's owners. He described Natura Bissé as a "family passion" and several family members were at the opening, which also featured flamenco dancers, a giant paella station, Spanish wines and sangrias and special jamon Serrano and cheeses and anchovies. The party was arranged poolside at the spa, with sleek lounge seating and soft lights and strategically placed spa products in case you had a sudden urge to slather your neck with some wildly expensive Diamond Collection body lotion. It was elegant, warm and brilliantly themed around Spanish food and culture.
The out of town media and Spanish visitors were treated to a weekend of spa services, elegant meals and other Resort programs, but the Spa Palazzo was front and center. It reminded me that we have an incredible resource in our own backyard when it comes to luxury spas and wellness—and it just got a little bit more special.
I can already see a stay-cation in my future.

Time of Poss.
Pineville, LA – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team stole the momentum on the final play of the first half and then dominated the second on the way to a 30-3 victory over Louisiana College Saturday in Pineville, Louisiana. The 2nd-ranked Cru blocked a field goal on the final play of the second quarter and Javicz Jones scooped up the ball and returned it 95 yards for a score to turn a potential 6-0 deficit into a 6-3 UMHB lead. The Cru never looked back on the way to improving to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in American Southwest Conference play on the season. The Wildcats entered the game ranked 21st in the country and fall to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in ASC play on the year with the loss.
Both teams were sluggish offensively in the first half. UMHB drove the ball well between the 20-yard lines but missed a pair of first quarter field goal attempts. Louisiana College took a 3-0 lead on a 25-yard field goal from Adam Olivares with 2:18 remaining in the second quarter. The Cru would be forced to punt and the Wildcats drove to the UMHB five-yard line with 0.1 left on the clock. Olivares would set up for a 22-yard field goal try, but Korey Steward broke through to block the kick and Jones scooped it up, broke down the Cru sideline and broke two tackles on the way to a 95-yard touchdown return. The extra point was off the mark, but UMHB would take a 6-3 lead and all of the momentum into the locker room at halftime. LiDarral Bailey hit Geoff Myles for a 64-yard TD pass on the first offensive play of the second half to push the Cru lead to 13-3. UMHB marched 80 yards in 10 plays on its next possession as Bailey hit Elijah Hudson with an 11-yard swing pass for a score to make it 20-3 Cru. Bailey found Jon Ross with a 16-yard scoring strike with 2:19 left in the third to stretch the lead to 27-3 and Chad Peevey closed out the scoring with a 31-yard field goal with 5:30 left to play.
The Cru defense held the Wildcats to just 143 yards of total offense in the second half and intercepted a pair of LC passes. UMHB finished the game with 230 rushing yards, 229 passing yards and 259 yards of total offense while not turning the ball over. LC finished with 300 yards of total offense, but just 42 rushing yards.
Bailey was 17-22 passing for 229 yards and three touchdowns. Darius Wilson ran for 106 yards on 15 carries in his first action in four weeks and Myles finished with six catches for 112 yards and a score. Cody Jones had a game-high nine tackles for the UMHB defense and Javicz Jones had five tackles, an interception and a pass break-up to go with his touchdown return.
Jamie Bunting was 26-46 passing for Louisiana College for 258 yards. D'Mario Parker caught 11 balls for 109 yards for the Wildcats and Ryan Montague managed just 41 rushing yards on 16 carries. Peter Ford had nine tackles and two sacks for the LC defense before leaving the game with an injury.
The Cru has now won all 12 meetings with Louisiana College and the victory is the 30th straight regular season win for UMHB. The Cru has also won 22 consecutive ASC games and 55 of its last 56 league contests. Saturday's victory sets up a showdown with Hardin-Simmons next Saturday in Belton. That game will kick off at 1:00 PM at Tiger Field on homecoming for UMHB.

Configure outgoing e-mail settings (Office SharePoint Server)
Applies To: Office SharePoint Server 2007
This Office product will reach end of support on October 10, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see , Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
Topic Last Modified: 2016-11-14
In this article:
Install and configure the SMTP service
Configure outgoing e-mail settings
Use this procedure to configure the default outgoing e-mail settings for all Web applications. You can override the default outgoing e-mail settings for specific Web applications by using the procedure that is described in Configure outgoing e-mail settings for a specific Web application (Office SharePoint Server).
Install and configure the SMTP service
Before you can enable outgoing e-mail, you must install the Internet Information Services (IIS) Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service. After determining which SMTP server to use, the SMTP server must be configured to allow anonymous access and to allow e-mail messages to be relayed. Additionally, the SMTP server must have Internet access if you want the ability to send messages to external e-mail addresses, or it must be able to relay authenticated e-mail to a server that has Internet access. The SMTP server that you use can be a server in the farm, or another server.
Install the SMTP service
The SMTP service is a component of IIS.
Membership in the Administrators group on the local computer is required to complete this procedure.
Install the SMTP service
In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.
In Add or Remove Programs, click Add/Remove Windows Components.
In the Windows Components Wizard, in the Components box, click Application Server, and then click the Details button.
In the Application Server dialog box, in the Subcomponents of Application Server box, click Internet Information Services (IIS), and then click the Details button.
In the Internet Information Services (IIS) dialog box, select the SMTP Service check box.
Click OK to return to the Application Server dialog box.
Click OK to return to the main page of the Windows Components Wizard.
Click Next.
When Windows has finished installing the SMTP service, on the Completing the Windows Components Wizard page, click Finish.
Configure the SMTP service
After installing the SMTP service, configure the service to accept relayed e-mail from servers in your farm.
You can decide to accept relayed e-mail from all servers except those you specifically exclude. Alternatively, you can block e-mail from all servers except those you specifically include. You can include servers individually, or in groups by subnet or domain.
By enabling both anonymous access and e-mail relaying, you increase the possibility that the SMTP server will be used to relay unsolicited commercial e-mail (spam). It is important to limit this possibility by carefully configuring your mail servers to help protect against spam. One way that you can do this is by limiting relaying to a specific list of servers or domain, and preventing relaying from all other servers.
Membership in the Administrators group on the local computer is required to complete this procedure.
Configure the SMTP service
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
In IIS Manager, expand the server name that contains the SMTP server that you want to configure.
Right-click the SMTP virtual server that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
On the Access tab, under Access control, click Authentication.
In the Authentication dialog box, under Select acceptable authentication methods for this resource, verify that Anonymous access is selected.
Click OK.
On the Access tab, under Relay restrictions, click Relay.
To enable relaying from any server, under Select which computer may relay through this virtual server, select All except the list below.
To accept relaying from one or more specific servers, follow these steps:
Under Select which computer may relay through this virtual server, select Only the list below.
Click Add, and then add servers one at a time by IP address, or in groups by using a subnet or domain.
Click OK to close the Computer dialog box.
Click OK to close the Relay Restrictions dialog box.
Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
Configure outgoing e-mail settings
Membership in the Farm Administrators group of the Central Administration site is required to complete this procedure.
Configure outgoing e-mail settings
On the top navigation bar of the SharePoint Central Administration Web site, click Operations.
On the Operations page, in the Topology and Services section, click Outgoing e-mail settings.
On the Outgoing E-Mail Settings page, in the Mail Settings section, type the SMTP server name for outgoing e-mail (for example, mail.example.com) in the Outbound SMTP server box.
In the From address box, type the e-mail friendly address as you want it to appear to e-mail recipients.
In the Reply-to address box, type the e-mail address to which you want e-mail recipients to reply.
In the Character set menu, select the character set that is appropriate for your language.
Click OK.
For information about how to perform this procedure using the Stsadm command-line tool, see Email: Stsadm operation (Office SharePoint Server).

Last couple of weeks I have been working to improve my pathfinding algorithm. I am planning pretty big maps for the player and I want the AI to be able to travel the whole map independent of where the player is located. I want to ad mechanics like tracking/hunting for the player and for the AI. My previous algorithm was rather slow on larger maps so i had to improve this.
It took some time to get good results for a large amount of none player characters but i am on the right track. I am implementing hierarchical pathfinding which should reduce CPU power greatly at the cost of storage. Basically I split the map up in large chunks, calculate ideal routes from one sector to another and store them. This means that I only have to calculate pathfinding for these large sectors at run time.
It is basically how Google maps route planning works. Using detailed pathfinding to get to a highway, from there just use main highways and discard detailed map information and finally get the detailed information of the exact location you want to travel to.
Since all my maps are random I have to pre-compute all these sectors while the map loads. On a static map this would be much easier. The basics are there but there are some bugs where AI get stuck into a loop. The best part of this system is that it takes into account changes to terrain. I do foresee a problem though, when the terrain changes and the system is calculating a big detour the game might stall a bit.
My girlfriend is getting surgery tomorrow and the December month is always a busy month for me. I still hope to get some work done before the end of the year but I have to see how things go.

I took my 3-year-old son, John, a devoted fan of trains to see the Holiday Garden Railway at the Morris Arboretum last night. The railway is a year-round attraction, but when the miniature village and 1,300 feet of model railway track are lit for the holidays, taking it in at night is a special treat.
The Friday night event was for members, and many were there with their children who were all excited by the bustling model trains and the multi-colored holiday lights.
The whole railway display is a miracle of model making. According to the arboretum, the garden railway contains seven loops and tunnels with 15 different rail lines and two cable cars and nine bridges, including a trestle bridge that crosses a walkway overhead. At the trestle, a wooden footbridge takes guests across a miniature stream complete with mini waterfall.
The railway's environment — the trees, mountains, hills and buildings — are made entirely of natural materials – bark, leaves, twigs, hollow logs, mosses, acorns, dried flowers, seeds and stones. The buildings are replicas of Philadelphia landmarks, including Independence Hall.
Of course, as neat as the models are, the trains are the star attraction here, as you can see in this short video.
The garden railway is included with regular admission to the arboretum. For more, see the arboretum's website. It really is a must see if you have a little train fan in your family.
