During Christmas, people put up pine trees in their houses and decorate them. On Christmas Eve the presents are placed under the tree and are to be opened the next morning. So the tree is the most important decoration. In order to decorate the tree, you will need a Christmas ornament. These are little baubles that hang from the branches of the tree. They come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors. You might want to think about your color scheme before purchasing lights. You will typically want to have something that matches and looks nice. Or maybe you would like to try something different.

Adrienne Rowe necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 210 diseños de 49 diseñadores freelance.
You can see our current websites at http://roweportraitstudios.com. We actually like our current logo but it doesn't work well for die cutting or as an embossed logo on packaging. We would love a logo with a similar feel though similarity isn't absolutely necessary. As for colors Black and silver/grey or Black and white are preferred.
Our studio is called Rowe Portrait Studios. We are a small boutique studio that is in the process of a rather large expansion. Our studio caters to both high end and medium range clients so we've found that gearing our look toward the high end customers works best to attract both types of clients.
- Colors black and silver/grey or black and white
- must work well as a die cut or as an embossed logo on packaging. For instance the logo should be able to be punched out as a die cut on a metal business card.
- something that will blend in well with the overall fell and design of our current website is preferred.
- A design that also includes a watermark to overlay on our web images is a definite plus.
- I like the current floral element to our design something with similarities could be cool.
pretty open as long as the above guidelines are met.

[Verse 1]
Yes, y'all and, to the like beat and
You could either dance or just have a seat and
Listen to the way and, what I am displaying
A different kind of rapper language that I am saying
To all the party people that absorbs the info
When it come to rocking parties I am a nympho
Maniac, brainiac for doing my dance
And my record Make the Music will put you in a trance and
Hypnotize your body and, like you do Bacardi and
You won't be fighting or illing, you just be partying
Down, with the funky sound with yours truly
I'm the original B-I-Z M-A-R-K-I but the E
I came to have fun and, not be number one and
Just hear to let you know, who's like running the place
And everywhere that I perform and do a show
As long as you know that...
[Hook: TJ Swan]
Nobody beats the Biz
(Nobody beats the Biz)
(repeat 4X)
[Verse 2]
You know me as the B-I-Z M-A-R-K-I-E and
I go for what I know doing a show for human beings
I'm guaranteed to rock I make the ladies scream and shout
I'm bound to wreck your body and say turn the party out
The Mardi rapper toe-tapper always having fun
And when you hear the Biz Markie, I get the job done
Yes I'm the M-A-R the K-I-E you know that's me
I got the stutter step to keep in check my speed is so unique
They say I look and sound funny but I don't be caring
I rock the Latin Quarter, Rooftop, Union Square and
Roseland, the Heartthrob, Madison Square Garden
Even rocked for the World's Fair at Javits Center
Pardon the way that I be talking 'bout the places I be rocking
I love to perform for the people that be clocking
Not sayin that you're on mine or on it like a hornet
But you pay for a good performance, doggone it, you want it
That's why I'm here, to be like letting you knowing
That I'mma highly recognized as the king of discoing
Making people laugh and have a lot of enjoyment
I'm the best person for this type of employment
That's why...
[Verse 3]
On and on to the break of dawn
When you buy food cheap, you need a coupon
Or catch a sale retail, before it gets stale
So hurry up and get the WIC check out the mail
And shop non-stop, but how I hip-hop
On the mic and like make you co-op-
-erate with the rhythm, that is what I give em
Reagan is the Pres but I voted for Shirley Chisholm
It might sound confusing, the style that I'm using
But in the end I'm sure that you will find it quite amusing
And funny, oh honey, it's just ridiculous
Don't try to front, come on and admit you was
Thrilled, chilled, your heart was fulfilled
So respect the architect as I begin to build
Science and my reliance is upon my rap
Like Carl Lewis I get to it, so let's go the lap
One of the classic early Biz tracks featuring TJ Swan on the hook. The chorus is adapted from a commercial for The Wiz chain of electronics stores. The commercial went, "Nobody Beats The Wiz"—in fact, that used to be the name of the store, before they shortened it to just The Wiz.
The Marley Marl production pairs "Hihache" by the Lafayette Afro Rock Band (the first use of this break) with Steve Miller's "Fly Like An Eagle"
The song has itself been sampled many times. A Tribe Called Quest, Large Professor and Pete Rock have all taken pieces.

Biographical / Historical
The Shimm, Thomas, Cummings, Hodges, Davage, and related African American families chiefly lived in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. Numerous family members worked as teachers, barbers, or in the service industry. They were active in local churches and service organizations, and had established friendships with local church leaders as well as with Frederick Douglass and his family.
The Shimm and Thomas families were located in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. The Thomas family can be traced back to Philip Nelson, who owned property in Leesburg, Virginia and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Family genealogical papers list Nelson as a descendent of British Admiral Horatio Nelson. This lineage, however, is not supported in publically available family histories of Horatio Nelson. Philip Nelson and his wife Araminta had five children: Catherine (b. 1805?), William, Levi (b. 1820?), Henrietta, and Grayson.
Catherine Nelson married Elias E. Thomas (b. 1816?) of Virginia in 1840. They wed in Philadelphia and had five children: Levi Nelson (b. 1841), Sarah (1843-1885), Edward (b. 1844), Elizabeth (1848-1932), and Charles (b. 1851).
Sarah Thomas married William Y. Shimm (b. 1841), a barber in Reading, Pennsylvania, on July 26, 1863. They had 2 daughters, Erminie (1867-1936) and Grace (1865-1910). The Shimms lived in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but had moved to Washington, D.C., around 1871. Sarah was a teacher and a writer who published under the name "Faith Lichen." Her writings, primarily essays and commentaries about race and politics, were printed in several newspapers including The National Republican, The Celtic Weekly, The People's Advocate, and The Sunday Morning Gazette.
Sarah's sister Elizabeth was also a teacher in Maryland. Her brother Charles was a lawyer in Washington, D.C., and a graduate of the first class at Howard University's law school.
Erminie and Grace Shimm became teachers in the Washington, D.C., public school system. Erminie was active in her church and supportive of missionary work in Liberia. Grace married Charles Gilmor Cummings, a pastor in Alexandria, Virginia, on July 9, 1902. They had one daughter, Joyce Ethel (1903-1971), and second child in 1905 who died in infancy. Grace died in 1910 of heart failure. After her death, Grace's sister Erminie and Charles's family helped raise Joyce Ethel in Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland.
Joyce Ethel Cummings Hodges graduated from Morgan College in 1924, and received her master's degree from Howard University in 1931. She taught at Douglass High School in Baltimore from 1924-1964. Joyce Ethel married Charles E. Hodges (1900--975) in 1927 and they divorced in 1953. The couple had one daughter, Charlene (1929-2009).
Charlene Hodges Byrd grew up in Washington, D.C., but attended the Northfield School for Girls in East Northfield, Massachusetts, for high school, graduating in 1946. She received her bachelor's degree from Connecticut College in 1950, and her master's degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago in 1951. She married Charles R. Byrd (1919-2004) in 1952. They had one son in 1954, but he died four days after birth. Byrd soon began a career as a teacher and education administrator, eventually working for Kanawha County Schools in Charleston, West Virginia. She was also active in her local community as a member of the Book Lovers of Charleston, West Virginia; Church Women United; and The Links, Inc.
Charles E. Hodges was born Bridgewater, Virginia, where his father was a minister. He graduated from Morgan College in 1923 and received his master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1943. He was a teacher and served as principal of the North Street School in Hagerstown, Maryland. After he and Joyce Ethel divorced in 1953, he married Elizabeth Dews (1913-1999) in 1955.
Elizabeth Dews Hodges, born Elizabeth Virginia Waumbeeka, was adopted by James Edward (1889-1954) and Sarah Virginia Dews (1888?-1964) in Washington, D.C., in 1920. She graduated from Miner Teachers College in 1939, and worked as a teacher in Annapolis, Maryland, at Wiley H. Bates High School for 34 years. She was awarded a medal for her work there by the Freedom Foundation of Valley Forge in 1959. Elizabeth was active in local organizations in Maryland and Washington, D.C., including the SE/NE Friends of the Capitol View Branch Library; Eastern Star Chapter 4; Mount Ephraim Baptist Church; National Museum of Women in the Arts; National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peoples; and the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind.
The Davage family is descended from Sidney Hall (b. 1818?) and Charles Davage (b. 1815?). Sidney was a former slave at the Perry Hall mansion in Baltimore, and was manumitted by 1840. She married Charles, a coachman, on April 12, 1842. They had five children: Eliza Jane (1843-1913), Sophia (b. 1847), Charlotte (b. 1849), Charles (b. 1854), and Hester (b. 1845). Their daughter Eliza Jane married Henry Cummings (b. 1830?). They had seven children: Harry Sythe (1866-1917), Charles Gilmor (1870-1924), William (b. 1882), Ida R. (1868-1958), Estelle (1874-1944), Carroll (b. 1875), Francis (b. 1872), and Aaron (1864?-1932).
Harry Sythe Cummings, a lawyer in Baltimore, became the city's first African American City Council member. He was first elected in 1890 and served intermittently until his death in 1917, often working on issues related to education. Cummings also delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention in 1904 seconding the presidential nomination of Theodore Roosevelt. He married Blanche Conklin in 1899, and they had three children: Harry S. Jr. (b. 1905), Lucille (d. 1906), and Louise.
Charles Gilmor Cummings graduated from Drew Theological Seminary in 1898, and was a pastor in Alexandria, Virginia and elsewhere. After the death of his wife Grace in 1910, he married Rosa Catherine Bearden, grandmother of artist Romare Bearden, in 1912.
Ida R. Cummings graduated from Morgan College in 1922, and was the first African American kindergarten teacher in Baltimore. She was also active in local organizations, and was president of the Colored Fresh Air and Empty Stocking Circle; chairman of the Woman's Section Council of Defense in Baltimore during the World War, 1914-1918; and president of the Woman's Campaign Bureau of the Colored Republican Voters' League of Maryland.

In 2012, the Registrar's Office introduced the automated waitlist function to PSU students, which allowed them to manage their course schedule more effectively and efficiently. The automated functionality allows students to add themselves to a full course by placing themselves on the waitlist. When a seat becomes available the student receives an email with instructions on how to go online and be added to the waitlist. Students are given 24 hours to add the course before being dropped. The Registrar Office encourages students to check their PSU email daily to ensure they receive this notification. Click to read more about PSU's automated waitlist.
If students are not in the habit of checking their PSU email on a regular basis we let them know that they can set up their account to forward emails to an account they check regularly.
In the case that a student is dropped from the WL they should be encouraged to login to their account and take another look at the schedule. Time has passed since they placed themselves on the WL and other sections may become available. Other courses could have shorter lists increasing the chances of receiving a seat. Otherwise, the student can put themselves back on the bottom of the list that they were dropped from. Please note that the Office of the Registrar doesn't make exceptions to the order of the list. Students should not be motivated to visit our office to inquire about being placed back on top of a WL they were recently dropped from. Once the student is dropped from the WL the next student has already received the email offering them the seat in the course.
The important part of this automated functionality is that our office will not override the capacity of a course to bypass students on the WL. Departments who desire to allow more students into the course should contact the Academic Scheduling Office to request an increase to capacity and if needed a room change to accommodate the increase. Once the capacity is increased, emails will automatically be sent to all of the students on the WL who can be accommodated in the order of their ranking on the list.
The automated functionality of the WL is turned off once school begins to give control of enrollment back to instructors to accommodate students with special cases. This also assures students aren't able to add on their own if too much of the course has gone by. Students can still add themselves to the WL, but will no longer receive email notice or be able to self-register if a seat becomes available. Once school begins students can be given permission to add waitlisted courses using the Special Registration Form.
Starting spring term the Office of the Registrar will be sending an email to all instructors and department schedulers who have waitlisted courses a few days before the term begins to remind them the automated portion of the WL is going to be turned off. This will allow departments to make one last decision about their enrollment and potentially contact Academic Scheduling to increase the capacity of the course. The advantage of increasing the capacity of the course before the term begins is the process for registering extra students will be automated, reducing the need to complete forms. We will also send an email to WL students apologizing that a spot has not become available in the course(s) and encourage them to attend the first class meeting to see if seats become available through attrition.
The Registration & Academic Scheduling team offer strategy sessions to provide different tools used by departments to manage enrollment for their courses. Some of the popular topics in these sessions are listed below:
- Administratively dropping students who don't attend on the first day.
- Class level restrictions: stop freshman & sophomores from taking the courses seniors need to graduate.
- Refresher on how to override registration restrictions in Banner so forms are not required.
If you have questions or would like to schedule a strategy session please contact Christopher Hart at firstname.lastname@example.com.

BOULDER — For a few frantic moments at the end of the game Thursday night, Fairview senior guard Katie Kuosman looked like she might provide all the firepower the basketball Knights needed to pull off an improbable rally.
In the end, FHS fell just short against a fast-paced Denver East bunch whose only loss this season was a one-point setback against Grandview.
Denver East held on for a 45-42 triumph in the Fairview Festival semifinals to set up a showdown with Class 4A No. 1 Broomfield in Saturday's 5 p.m. championship game.
"Our girls battled the whole time," said FHS coach Andre Goldberg, a Knights alum who took over the team the second week of the season after Rod Beauchamp departed for the athletic director post at Broomfield.
Thanks in part to being out-muscled on the boards to the tune of a 43-27 East rebounding edge and being out-run by the Angels in transition, Fairview (4-2) trailed 41-32 with 3 minutes, 35 seconds to play after a layup by East's Ke'Avae Taylor.
But after a Georgina Ryder bucket cut the deficit to seven, Kuosman went to work with a fastbreak layup and a conventional three-point play that brought the Knights to within 43-39.
East (5-1) — which went 4 for 12 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter while trying to put the game away — then missed four straight from the charity stripe before Kuosman banked home a 3-pointer to make it 43-42 with 24 seconds to go.
East's Asia Roper, though, got the Angels back on track with two free throws to make it 45-42 with 23 seconds left, and the Knights turned the ball over on their final possession before they could get a shot off.
"We did a real good job fighting the whole time, and they should be proud of the way they played tonight," Goldberg said of his squad, which had won four straight.
Kuosman finished with 13 points and seven rebounds, and Sarah Kaufman had 14 points to lead the Knights. Ryder added seven points and eight rebounds, but was out-dueled in the post by East senior Francesca Sally, who finished with a game-high 17 points and 15 rebounds.
It was Sally who first pushed East's edge to nine points, posting up for a bucket to make it 39-30 midway through the fourth quarter.
"To get a win here at Fairview, it's their tournament, they're a tough team, we fought hard," East coach Dwight Berry said. "This was a good win. I think the matchup with Broomfield is going to be a good one."

Special Strawberry Torte
Meet the Cook: The reason this is such a favorite is it's a little different yet quick and easy. At one time, my husband was a mess sergeant in the National Guard. When it came to cooking, there was always a little discussion over doing it my way or the Army way! We have four grown children and five grandchildren. -Alyce Kafka, Wagner, South Dakota
- 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions, substituting four egg yolks for the whole eggs. Pour the batter into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans.
- 2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Carefully spread over batter; sprinkle with almonds and remaining sugar.
- 3. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until meringue is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks, meringue side up, to cool completely.
- 4. Place one cake layer with meringue side up on a serving plate. Spread with half of the whipping topping and top with half of the strawberries. Repeat layers.

A complete waste
Spectrum, Nanchanok Wongsamuth, Published on 01/05/2016
» When the Samart Corporation partnered in a lucrative deal to dispose of waste at Suvarnabhumi Airport in 2006, questions were raised as to why a telecommunications company was awarded the contract. The 600 million baht agreement with the Airports of Thailand (AoT) called for the construction of two incinerators to handle all waste generated at the country's biggest airport.

Scientists in Japan have used ostrich blood vessels to create a viable bypass in pigs, raising hopes of easier and more effective artery transplants for heart patients.
The team found they could harvest blood vessels from the bird's long neck and use them to construct artificial pathways that are up to 12 inches long and as little as two 0.08 inches in diameter.
Conventional substitutes – taken from dead human donors, animals or made of synthetic fibers or resins – need to be at least double that in order to prevent problems with clotting.
Chief researcher Tetsuji Yamaoka said the arteries, which carry blood to the ostrich's head, are processed and lined with clot-preventing molecules on a nano scale.
"Ostriches are good as they provide a stable supply of narrow and long vessels," said Yamaoka, who heads the Biomedical Engineering Department of the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Centre in Suita, western Japan.
Researchers at Yamaoka's laboratory used the new vessel in femoral artery bypass operations in five miniature pigs, bridging large arteries in their right and left thighs.
They confirmed the new vessel allowed blood to flow smoothly without the use of clot-prevention agents, Yamaoka said this week, calling it the world's first success in small-diameter, long bypass operations in animals.
There have been bypass operations using short artificial vessels in small animals such as rats, Yamaoka said.
"But vessels must be narrow and long to be used in humans," he said, adding at least 10 centimetres would be needed for human heart operations and 20 centimetres for legs.
Surgeons could cut the new vessel to size for specific operations, making it unnecessary to take blood vessels from elsewhere in the patient's body.
Yamaoka's team aims to start clinical tests in three years.

A PR crisis often becomes a media feeding frenzy. When the crisis involves a media brand and a CEO, it's a frenzy run amok. Media, like PR, usually abhors being the story. The sexual harassment allegations against CBS chief Les Moonves are far more than the story of a top media executive and his brand wishing to stay out of the news, though. Communicators will be watching closely to see how CBS talks about this crisis, although the network might not be allowed make all its own choices.

Symantec fluffs up its backup getup
Netbackup integrates de-dupe and CDP
Symantec Vision '08 Symantec's data protection suite received its annual booster shot of new features at Symantec Vision in Las Vegas this year.
The NetBackup software is kicked up to version 6.5.2 and version 6.5.3, with expanded support for Windows and VMware, respectively. But the major additions are integrated data de-duplication and continuous data protection (CDP) — both previously available only as standalone products.
"We are the only company that has integrated de-dupe to our core backup product," said Deepak Mohan, Symantec's senior veep of data protection operations.
Hmm, but didn't EMC add de-dupe and CDP to the long-in-tooth NetWorker back in October 2007 with Avamar and RecoverPoint software?
Well yes, according to Mohan. But EMC's offerings aren't really managed through the same interface in NetWorker.
Symantec is claiming a specific definition of "integrated," we suppose. And besides, said Mohan (going for the product points), Symantec's de-dupe does inline, at source, and post-processing.
Symantec's Deepak Mohan
NetBackup's de-dupe comes courtesy of PureDisk 6.5. Both apps have been flirting with integration since March 2007, but this marks the first time they've been completely tied together.
PureDisk 6.5 adds more support for client-side de-dupelication, adding the Mac OS, HP-UX 11.23 and Red hat 5.0 to the client lists. It's also added support for Microsoft Exchange 2007 and on the platform side, NetApp NAS systems.
Storage capacity per server node has been doubled in PureDisk 6.5, from 4TB to 8TB useable storage.
A new arrival: RealTime 6.5 does the integrated continuous data protection business — streaming changes in mission-critical apps to dedicated storage systems as it did previously.
As for NetBackup itself — the software adds expanded support for SharePoint 2007, Exchange 2007, SQL Server, and Windows 2008.
In version 6.5.3, granular document restore has been added for SharePoint 2003 and 2007, along with granular mailbox restore for Exchange 2003.
Symantec has also added incremental backups and snapshot client support in a virtual machine.
NetBackup 6.5.2 is available now starting at $3,995. Version 6.5.3, however, won't arrive until later this summer. RealTime 5.5 will be waiting until Fall 2008 to make its debut. ®

Ride In 3/12: Innumeracy doesn't count
If anyone is still reading, I'd like to apologize and now write about my bicycle commute, after which I might apologize again, for good measure. It was still a bit brisk this morning and I ended up wearing tights and gloves, in addition to other clothes, to protect my delicate flower self from the last grasps of winter coolness. I probably could've gone out with shorts and no gloves, but that's just not really my thing. For example, I don't like to leave my fingerprints on stuff.
I think I rode within sight of other bike commuters for the entirety of my trip. I once posited that the way you could tell a town is a bike town is if you cannot go a minute without seeing another bicyclist. I might need to revise that downward. It's heartening to see so many people out and I'll do my best not to complain about it. If you're new to bike commuting, or just want to freshen up on some bike commuter etiquette, I found this to offer some quite good advice. Read past the lube part to the good manners part. You don't have to smile and wave at other bicyclists if you don't want. Waving might be a little weird, actually. Nodding is ok. Making eye contact is fine, as is sort of just looking at them. Leering is pretty unacceptable in bike commuting, but in what instance is leering a good idea? "Hmm, this is an awkward social interaction. Let me leer my way out of it," isn't really something that's ever crossed anyone's mind. I hope. Avoiding eye contact is another thing you can do, but don't be weird about it or it seems hostile and like you're pointedly angry at someone. Like, for example, I'll deliberately make a point of avoiding eye contact with someone salmoning the wrong way down a bike lane. Their transgression means that they don't deserve to look at my beautiful eyes, so I will withhold them the pleasure! (Note: my eyes are just boring brown eyes. Nothing special. If you have especially beautiful eyes, then perhaps this tactic will be more effective.) Anyway, there's lots of ways to interact with fellow bike commuters, but I suggest, primarily, that you adopt the stance of "don't be a jerk to fellow bike commuters (or anyone really)" and that tends to work out.
From my home to the bottom of Capitol Hill, I rode behind a woman in a blue windbreaker. She seemed nice. Don't remember where she went. Maybe down 3rd street? Thereafter, it was a pretty lonely voyage, at least going my way. To pass the time, I decided that I would try to count the number of female cyclists as a percentage of the total I saw. I do this every once in a while because I don't believe the statistics. Counting is also ones of my hobbies. The first three bike commuters I saw this morning were women and the trend stayed at about 50 percent, but I lost track at 16 of 33, mostly because cyclists started passing me in clumps and I was no longer able to keep a running tally. So yeah, sounds pretty scientific.
When pedestrians and bicyclists slow down car traffic, the suggestion is to remove them from the roadway. When too many cars slow down car traffic, the suggestion is to expand capacity. So, in one instance, it's a demand-side solution and the other is a supply-side solution. Curious. I try not to think too much about things like this, but it's worth remembering sometimes that one person in a car and one person on a bike is the same number of persons, but the amount of space given and dollars spent on one is much greater than the space given and dollars spent on the other.And ironically, it's the person traveling with an extra couple of tons of stuff (like engine and doors and whatever's in the trunk and whatnot) that gets the lion's share of the resources. Frugality is not rewarded. It's like the bank bailout. Too big to fail. Weighty stuff.
Made it across town and up the hill without much incident. It was a little bit boring, but there's far worse things in the world than being bored when outside on a really nice day. Like being attacked by a pack of wolverines. And other, far less worse, stuff, too. Being bored while riding to work is a real luxury and something that doesn't happen if you're treating your morning ride like a workout. I don't recommend treating your morning ride like a workout anyway, since city streets don't really lend themselves to going fast for sustained periods of time. Or maybe it's just that I don't lend myself to going fast for sustained periods of time. Either way.

(1) Tour de force!

actually, you can choose both.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who pointedly won't make eye contact with people being stupid on bikes. It always seems a little silly to me, but I do it anyway.ReplyDelete
Avoiding eye contact is nicer (passiver-agressive?) than what I do. I usually scowl. and occasionally say "moron." But sometimes in a passive-agressive under-the-breath sort of way.ReplyDelete
For a while, every day I was encountering the same Geprge Will wannabe everyday as he salmoned in the T street bike lane around 9th. I called him moron one morning and he said "Fuck you." After that, every morning I'd say "still a moron" and every day he'd say "fuck you." It was a charming morning ritual that I had to give up when I found a better route. Wonder if he misses me.

1) I love biker acknowledgement!ReplyDelete
2) I'll pit men v women (instead of Arlington v Fairfax) on my next ride, counting-wise.
I'm with Green Christine on this one- I think acknowledgment is the way to go. My favorite's the mutual eye contact/slight nod as if to say "Is this making your day just a little bit better? Mine, too."ReplyDelete
As for the salmon, I say fillet 'em.

Thiel CS1.6 loudspeaker
A Coherent Source
The CS1.6 is the successor to Thiel's CS1.5, a denizen of this magazine's "Recommended Components" listing ever since Sam Tellig enthused over it in August 1994. (He also wrote about it in May '96, while Muse Kastanovich's November '95 review included a full set of measurements.) Like the '1.5, the '1.6 is a floorstanding two-way design with a sloped-back front baffle. That's where the resemblance ends, however, as every other aspect of the 2002 speaker's design is new.
Whereas the CS1.5's baffle was flat, with step-backs for the hefty grille, the '1.6's is elegantly sculpted with a CNC machine to optimize dispersion, the minimal grille fitting into a shallow depression and held with concealed magnets. With the grille removed, the most obvious visible feature is a long vertical slot beneath the woofer, surrounded by a machined flare. This slot acts as the reflex port, but its geometry is claimed to minimize wind noise and any modification of its tuning by the grille.
The 6.5" woofer, designed and manufactured in-house, uses a 3" voice-coil to drive the metal cone closer to its perimeter than usual. This is said to increase the stiffness of the cone, pushing the inevitable breakup modes much higher in frequency than with a conventional cone and voice-coil. The large coil allows the neodymium magnet to be housed completely within the voice-coil former, inherently shielding the magnet. The 1" tweeter uses a metal dome and, like the woofer, features a short coil with a copper distortion-reducing ring, operating in a long gap. The tweeter dome is recessed slightly in a front plate with a short flare, which will increase its on-axis sensitivity to match the efficient woofer, at the expense of restricting the unit's dispersion in the top octave.
The crossover is, as is usual in Thiel's Coherent Source designs, a phase-optimal first-order type. This and the sloping back baffle allow the sounds from both drivers to arrive at the listener's ears at the same time. In a welcome departure from earlier Thiel speakers, the CS1.6's sturdy terminal posts are sited on the rear of its cabinet rather than the base.
Setting up the CS1.6s involved finding positions for them that gave the optimum balance among four nonrelated aspects of sound quality. The speaker's bass region is intrinsically shelved-down. However, moving the speakers close to the sidewalls to give some boundary reinforcement of the low frequencies also emphasized some residual hardness in the low treble, and resulted in a balance that was too bright with the speakers facing straight ahead. Moving the speakers well away from the sidewalls gave a sound that was clean and clear, but with insufficient bass. Keeping the speakers where they had the most extended bass but toeing them in so that they faced the listening seat reduced the hardness, added some useful top-octave air, and gave a soundstage that was superbly detailed and stable. On the downside, the overall sound was still a little bright for my tastes and system.
Ultimately, I moved each speaker forward along the line joining its acoustic center to the listening position, noting how the drop in bass weight was balanced by a corresponding drop in low-treble hardness. This sounds more straightforward than it was because the CS1.6's overall sound changed more during the break-in process than I am used to. Thiel recommends 50 hours "at moderately loud levels," but at the end of the month during which I used the Thiels for my everyday listening, I was still not sure that they'd reached equilibrium.
But what had begun as brightness had been transformed into superb resolution of detail. What had started out as a lightweight, not too well-defined low-frequency register ended up as a balance that worked well on such superb double-bass recordings as Edgar Meyer's new disc of concertos, by himself and Bottesini, with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra (Sony Classical SK 60956). Meyer's Concerto in D starts with some E-string grumbling and portamento slides, all rendered perfectly clearly on the CS1.6s, without any boom obscuring the instrument's pitch.

Additional RST Recall Information
We have been asked to update the recall information on the RST Hi-5 suspension fork (posted earlier today). Cycles Lambert will be looking after the recall in Canada, however, they say that it will be the end of the month before everything is set up. So, visit your retailer if you have one of these forks (and stop riding the fork!), but be patient while the system is being organized.
Trail Day This Sunday - B.C.
(courtesy EMP)
Get a head start on this year's Vedder Mountain Revival Event, June 20. Come to Trail Day this Sunday!
Sunday, March 14. Meet at 10:30 at Parmenter Road. Give yourself an hour to drive from Vancouver.
Bring the usual: work clothes, gloves, tools like barrows, shovels, rakes if you have 'em.
Heading east on Highway 1, you take the No.3 Road Exit (it says Cultus Lake on it), which is a few exits after Abbotsford. You go south from that exit and stay on that road until you have to turn either left or right. You go right and then turn left again right away. (You can basically follow the signs to Cultus Lake). This road goes straight for a while and then you come to another mandatory left or right hand turn where you turn left on the main street of Yarrow. You follow this windy road until you get to a three way traffic light intersection where you turn right up a hill. This road goes all the way to Cultus Lake, but right before you get to the first beach, there's a gravel road that goes to the right and up a hill. This is Parmenter Rd.where we will meet.

Like Feeding the Squirrels?
It is a bad idea for you to be feeding the squirrels. Once they have associated your yard with food, squirrels won't want to leave. In the fall squirrels will store food for winter. Often times in autumn, our customers call with noises in the attic or walls to find squirrels are digging holes in their soffit or fascia, or even climbing up the corners of their vinyl siding.
It is important to keep squirrels out of your attic. They can create quite a mess in a short amount of time. Squirrels can chew electrical wiring, and contaminate insulation with their waste. The holes a squirrel digs into your home today could lead to other animals as well as water damaging your home further.
Call us at 877-264-3638 immediately if you have noises in your attic or walls, or suspect squirrels are gaining entry into your home.
Our technicians, once on location, will do an inspection for entry points, and trap squirrels that are in your home, while preventing further entry.
Don't provide an easy food source for squirrels in your yard. Keep fallen nuts (acorns, walnuts) picked up as much as possible, and guard bird feeders against squirrels eating the seeds. Often times squirrels will stuff their mouth with as many seeds as possible and go directly into a homeowner's attic to store the food, and come right back for more.
We have technicians on standby to take your call in most every place in Indiana and Southern Michigan. From Union Pier, Gary, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Lafayette, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and everywhere in between, AAC's techs have the experience to help you with trapping squirrels.
"Like" American Animal Control ® LLC on Facebook to see all kinds of critters we may be catching, and what other kinds of service we may be able to provide for you once the squirrels are removed.
If you have them inside your house, feeding the squirrels is a bad idea.
Cedar shake roof damage caused by raccoons in Bloomington
A neglected porch roof with cedar shake shingles allowed easy access for raccoons to enter. Raccoons made themselves at home in the porch ceiling of this Bloomington condo. An thorough inspection by Ivan, our Bloomington animal removal technician, revealed two raccoons in the ceiling. A positive set was made with a pair of traps and both raccoons were removed after the first night. A temporary repair patch was installed to keep other animals out until permanent repairs could be made.
Raccoons are adept at making holes in roofs to gain access. It is important to keep the roof maintained, and shingles replaced when they are worn, for moisture prevention, but also because animals find it very easy to enter when the roof covering is rotted. Another common place for raccoons to cause damage is near gutters. American Animal Control ® LLC offers gutter cleaning as a prevention service. When left uncleaned, debris causes water to dam up and can cause premature rotting of soffit and fascia.

Attic Inspection shows Easy Access for Bats
Nate recently recorded part of an attic inspection Bristol, Indiana. Bats have an easy time accessing the attic due to a large number of openings. Bats can enter through gaps as small as 1/4".
The openings and damages in this video are not caused by bats, but damages from raccoons, squirrels, as well as general construction gaps are highways for bats. The highly trained technicians and American diagnose problems like these all the time. A plan to fix the openings in this attic is given to the customer, and once repaired, a 1-way valve to let the remaining bats out, but not back in, will be installed.
Call 877-264-3838 for an attic inspection today. Don't let the guano pile up like this before calling!

How are bats getting into the house?
It's a question asked by many American Animal Control ® LLC customers. "How are bats getting into the house?" they ask. Often times, like this Kosciusko County bat removal customer, people will get a bat in the house flying around once or twice a year, and not realize there is a much greater issue than the single bat flying around.
How are bats getting into the house?
Our experienced technicians answer this question often, and always after the most thorough inspection they can perform, inside and outside the house. Take this eve / soffit area for instance. It may not be visible from the ground, but when Jory, our Syracuse, Indiana technician was inspecting for bat entrance points, this stood out immediately. Bats are getting into the house through this 1/2" gap, and have been for some time.
Sometimes the entrance point isn't as obvious as a large black smudge on white trim. In this next image, Jory spotted some bat guano, which doesn't need much space at all to fall through a crack and give the location of a roosting bat in the attic. Bats in the house inspections usually include a fair amount of guano deposits.
Another place bats get into the house is through the ridge vent. As ridge vents age, they often pull away from the roof, crack, and warp. This is assuming it was installed properly. Countless roofs have a ridge vent installed with a gap large enough for bats to get in from day 1. American Animal Control ® LLC technicians have an excellent method for closing up ridge vent entrance points that no longer, in most cases, requires the removal and replacement of ridge vents.

Canada Geese removal from Heritage Lake, Putnam County
The homeowners association at Heritage Lake, Indiana had a large population of Canada Geese causing problems for residents and boaters. Gabe is the technician who was able to round up the geese from the waters and transport them away.
Canada Geese are a big problem for many people because they congregate in large numbers at times, and their feces is a big mess. They can also be territorial, and protective of the area perceived as their own. When Canada Geese feel threatened, they will often charge at people, especially children.
As you can see, the geese were rounded up into a netted holding area, and were later transferred into a trailer for removal.
The Heritage Lake homeowners association was happy to have the Canada Geese population removed.

This deck barrier will keep the critters out!
Tim has a client near Fort Wayne with a beautiful deck. He recently installed a custom deck barrier around the perimeter on the under side. The client was having trouble with animals getting under the deck.
When animals get under the deck, a lot of problems can arise. When groundhogs dig a burrow under the deck, they can undermine the integrity of the footings, or even the house foundation. Other animals like raccoons, feral cats, opossums and more can make the underside of a deck their home. Often times an animal that is sick or old and about to die will find a place like a deck to hide and die. It is smelly and often times hard to access the dead animal under the deck without removing boards on top.
American Animal Control, LLC ® technicians install quite a few deck barriers every year. Custom-cut thick gauge wire cloth is buried deep enough to deter animals digging under the deck, and then an attractive solid wood barrier is often installed over the mesh, giving stability and can be painted or stained to match.

Bat colony removal from Kokomo home.
Our clients noticed droppings on the front step and would sweep them off twice a day.
The clients did, as many people commonly do, think they had a mouse infestation. After a week of setting mouse traps, with no mouse catches, they decided it was something else. Our clients called in American Animal Control, LLC ® where Mitch, a wildlife removal technician in the Kokomo, Indiana animal removal market did an inspection. Mitch found a large colony of bats in their attic.
Once found, Mitch performed a bat exclusion, and installed one-way valves to let the bats leave the attic safely, but without the ability to get back in. Once all the bats were confirmed to be gone, the one-way valves are removed and the final openings, sealed.
Our clients are now happy to be BAT FREE.
Bat colony removal often has one more step
Once all bats are removed, and the structure is secured from further intrusion, an attic clean-out is often necessary. Colonies of bat produce large quantities of guano, which accumulates in the attic insulation, on rafters, and in some types of vents. Guano is smelly and can contain contaminates which make humans ill. This illness is a lung disease called Histoplasmosis, and with a clean-up of the attic by American Animal Control, the chance of contracting Histoplasmosis is greatly reduced even though a large colony of bats may have been present.
During an attic clean-out, a team of AAC technicians work together to remove all attic insulation and feces/guano. Once the entire attic is clean, a protective treatment that kills microbes is sprayed, and brand-new insulation is replaced into the attic to industry standards for R value; often greatly surpassing the old insulation R value, but without the contamination.
The best part about a total attic clean-out due to bat colony infestation is that the whole job is often covered by homeowners insurance. If you are hearing noises in the attic, notice smells, or get bats in the house; don't hesitate. Call American Animal Control, LLC ® now at 877-264-3638.
Nuisance Opossum Removal & Trapping
Our Kosciusko County wildlife removal technician, Jory, recently trapped this opossum. Sometimes clients call with opossums in strange places like window wells, unable to get out on their own. Other times opossums will dig through gardens and garbage, dig under sheds and decks, and even end up in attics and basements.

Bats entering home through impossibly small opening. Only AAC could find it.
Bats entering home?
Osceola, Ind. - A client called American Animal Control, LLC for a bat problem after having another company out for two bats in the living quarters of the house. The other company's technician did a partial inspection and told the customer he didn't have a bat problem.
The client subsequently had 6 more bats enter the living space of the home.
Nate, the wildlife removal technician in the Osceola, Indiana area, did a complete inspection and found no evidence of bats in the attic. He did, however, find a crack in the chimney mortar with bat feces present. This was a tiny void between the chimney stone and flue. Upon further inspection of the chimney, bats were following airflow down to an electrical outlet in the fireplace mantle and entering the living space through an almost impossibly tiny hole.
A bat exclusion and repair plan was discussed with the homeowner and the family can now sleep peacefully at night.
When bats entering your home, don't let the other guys tell you there is no problem. If one bat can get in, so can another! Call the Bat Removal Specialists at American Animal Control, LLC ® for all of your bat removal needs.
