Starkey Otolens - Soundlens Hearing Aids
Looking For Something Similar? Call 1-800-301-3137
OtoLens - Soundlens is the only Invisible-In-Canal (IIC) hearing aid. Even smaller and deeper fitting than a traditional CIC hearing aid. Starkey's IIC Otolens - Soundlens hearing aid is truly invisible when worn. Comfortable and invisible, OtoLens - Soundlens incorporates Starkey's industry leading "PureWave" feedback cancellation and "IQ" speech preservation/noise reduction technologies. OtoLens - Soundlens is a deep insertion device that fits in the second bend of the ear canal, very close to the ear drum. Because they can be easily inserted and removed by the wearer OtoLens makes deep insertion devises available to a much broader audience. Starkey's OtoLens - Soundlens is a great option for anyone with hearing loss up to moderately severe.
The two most common technologies used in hearing aids are analog and digital. Digital is newer and considered to be much more flexible, capable of doing more operations, and the only technology used in modern hearing aids.
|Open Fit Type
|Call for Info.
Human speech ranges in frequencies roughly from 250 to 6000 Hz. Hearing aids are built so that this group of frequencies (250 to 6000 Hz) is divided into smaller groups, called bands or channels.
Multiple memory settings can be programmed into the aid to give the user the ability to cope with changing sound and noise environments with the push of a button.
|Technology Level
Volume Control
Volume control is generally considered to be a manual adjustment that the user can control. All hearing aids have automatic gain control designed to make soft sounds audible and loud sounds tolerable. This is done automatically within limits programmed into the device.
On-Board Control Type
Controls on hearing aids usually have one or more of:
1. A momentary button used to change from one memory to the next
2. A button used to increase the level of volume
3. A rocker switch where pushing on one end does one function while the other end does another function
4. A wheel that will control volume
Remote Control Available
Remote controls for hearing aids are small enough to comfortably fit in a pocket. A remote control will enable more functions than can be put on a hearing aid itself.
Directional Microphones
Microphones are the electronic component that picks up sound. Microphones are very small and can be made to pick up more sound in one direction than all others. This is called a directional microphone.
Noise Reduction
Technology to separate voices from other sounds is continuously being improved. Each manufacturer has a patented process and trademarked name for noise reduction.
Sudden Noise Protection
This feature helps make hearing aids acoustically comfortable by dampening sudden loud noises, such as a dropped dish.
Wind Noise Protection
Wind noise is an important feature for those that spend time in the outdoors by reducing the roar of wind across the microphone. This feature is improving but is not effective in gusty wind conditions.
Feedback Management
Acoustic Feedback, is also known as squealing, buzzing, 'your aids are talking to you', etc.
Telecoils help with telephones that are rated hearing aid compatible.
Aid-to-Aid Communication
Communication from one hearing aid to the other is a very low strength signal designed to keep both hearing aids operating in the same mode at the same volume.
Bluetooth Capable
Being able to couple your hearing aids with a BlueTooth-enabled device, such as a cell phone, allows phone conversations to be heard through your hearing aids.
Direct Audio Input (DAI)
DAI is only on Large and Full Size hearing aids due to the need for terminals on the outside of the case. Using DAI allows other devices to connect directly to the hearing aids and input their audio signal.
Battery Size/Color
Conventional Hearing Aid Batteries cost less than a dollar per battery and are very easy to change.
|10A (Yellow)
|2 years
|Loss/Damage Warranty
|2 years

Benefits of the Otolens Deep Insertion Device
- Invisible when worn
- High quality performance and sound quality
- Broad range of wearing environments since the aids are protected by your ear canal in anything short of swimming.
- Surprisingly, deep insertion devices can be the most comfortable of all hearing aid styles.
Until now deep insertion devices were not easily inserted or removed, and for some people getting a comfortable fit has been problematic. Drawing on years of experience in refining the physical fitting process as well as developing a huge database of ear canal shapes, Starkey's OtoLens solves comfort problems for more people than ever before. Now you can easily insert and remove the aids yourself making self service easy and inexpensive.

Story by Staff Sgt. Constance Quintin
KABUL, Afghanistan - Kevin LaCross and his son Dillon will be celebrating Fathers Day together like most fathers and sons. Only this year it will be in Afghanistan.
Both are Soldiers with the Vermont Army National Guard and deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
This father and son have more in common now than ever before. Both are light-wheeled vehicle mechanics, assigned to Company B, 186th Brigade Support Battalion, 86th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Mountain), and are stationed at Camp Phoenix in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Dad, Sgt. Kevin LaCross, is serving on his second deployment and son, Spc. Dillon LaCross, is on his first. They have coordinated to have their days off together to do things such as play pool and horseshoes, watch movies or just hang out in their rooms.
Both agreed that the deployment has brought them closer together.
"We wanted to deploy together not only for the memories but to look out for each other. Not many people can say they deployed with their father and I am glad to have this opportunity," said Dillon.
Kevin is proud of his son and reminisced about a memorable moment when his son was growing up.
"When he was little we bought him a Harley Davidson bicycle that made sounds. He took all my medals off my dress greens and pinned them on his chest, then he put on his Doctor Seuss hat, his sun glasses, grabbed his harmonica and off he went around the block riding his bike," said Kevin. "He was a caring and thoughtful child and I wouldn't have changed anything about him growing up. I'm so proud to have him as my son."
Kathy LaCross takes comfort in knowing her husband and son are together and commented on how proud Kevin is of his son.
"One of Kevin's proudest moments was when we went down to Fort Jackson to Dillon's graduation from boot camp. One night Kevin brought Dillon back to the barracks by himself and they sat in the car and talked for awhile, both a little emotional," said Kathy LaCross. "Kevin said Dillon got out of the car to go inside, he watched him walk back ramrod straight and thought to himself, 'That is my son.' When he came back I could tell this was both a proud and wistful moment for Kevin and he said our son has grown up Kath; and he almost looked scared."
One thing is for sure. This will be a very memorable Father's Day for both.

What do you get if you take celebrating designers, Hollywood stars, models, actors and It Girls and add a dash of Annabel's? Harpers Bazaar's London Fashion Week closing party of course!
Poppy Delevingne, Paloma Faith, Henry Holland and Helen McCrory all dashed along to the do, where Stoli cocktails were so more-ish the bar never stopped heaving and all anyone could talk about was their favourite collections.
Over a tipple or two, Samantha Barks said she "loved" the whole experience of being at Topshop Unique. "They always get it right," she said. "The venue, the collection - it was amazing. And to be sat there on the front row with Anna Wintour? A dream."
Barks has been in London just for fashion week and is now heading back to Dublin to continue filming upcoming movie Dracula. "I play a witch in full prosthethic make up that takes seven hours to get in to," she said. "I'm really enjoying it and the cast is brilliant. Luke Evans is lovely and Dominic Cooper is so much fun."
Portia Freeman - wearing the most incredible black Gucci dress - confided John Rocha had been her highlight of the Spring/Summer 2014 shows. "I thought his collection was so beautiful," she said. "But I also loved Preen and Whistles."
The model also revealed she's off to Milan for the next round of shows and can't wait for the "buzz" of the city's fashion week.
Meanwhile, Angela Scanlon - having a rare night off ahead of presenting the main stage at London Fashion Weekend - also loved a collection from the Rocha family. "I thought Simone Rocha was breathtaking," she said. "In fact it was sublime - I don't think I've ever used that word before, which probably shows how much I loved it."
Scanlon added Topshop Unique made her "want to go on holiday" - a girl after our own hearts!
Stopping for a few minutes to chat, Glenda Bailey - Editor-In-Chief of Harpers Bazaar US wearing Dries Van Noten and Alexander Wang - sung London Fashion Week's praises. "I've enjoyed the creativity so much," she said. "There's this huge amount of energy and excitement - it's so positive."
With cocktail-ing in full swing, David Gandy - he's probably the most charming man in world - caught up with Alice Temperley, Roland Mouret was more dashing than ever and Jared Leto could be found in a dark corner at the back of the party surrounded by girls.
Lulu Guinness chatted with Daphne Guinness and Shaun Leane - "London Fashion Week fills me with such pride", he said, "I love my home town" - and at the end of the night no one wanted to leave. A sign of a particularly joyful party, don't you think? Until next time...

by Jad Mouawad

April 7th, 2009
The Obama administration seeks the most ambitious transformation of energy policy in a generation. But Big Oil is not on board.

After I ordered the items the other day, I received an email saying I could download the demo version to try it out until the CDs arrived. I did that, so you should keep in mind that I have that demo version still hanging around on the computer (I didn't think that would be a problem, plus I couldn't figure out how I could remove the program if I wanted to).
I took out the new CDs today and placed the main Scholar's Collection CD into the computer. I click on that collection to be installed, gave the proper code, and it began to do its thing. However, once it got to "809 files remaining", it began to deathly crawl. About 3 minutes passed until it got to 808, same thing with 807, about 7 minutes to get to 806, and it stayed there for well over 20 minutes. I did cancel at this point because I figured something was up. After rebooting, I tried it again, and the exact same thing happened, but this time I let it keep going. After another huge wait, it finally got down to somewhere in the 790s or lower before things started to pick up again. Once it got to 0 files remaining, it had a long pause for several minutes again, and final gave me some prompts to register. It may be of concern to say that during the installation process, my computer would say the installation program was not responding, even though it was still doing some work, be it agonizingly slow.
I tried sticking in one of the other CDs, assuming they have the modules on them. It got stuck too with 700-some files remaining. I got tired after another 20 minute wait with no apparent progress and decided to type this post for some help. I've tried opening Accordance too, and now it doesn't even bring up the demo version.
My MacBook is less than a month old and is a 10.4.1, so it is up to speed. Do I need to remove everything Accordance related from my computer and start again? If so, how do I do that? (This is my first Mac, and I'm not finding a simple solution to uninstall Accordance). I am really looking forward to using this product, but it has become extremely frustrating having spents hours of my day trying to fix this and I'm in a worse place than where I started. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Edited to add: I haven't had any issues with the installation of other programs on this computer.

So I've been here over 6 months and have so far made very little mention of chocolate. One of the things that Belgium is famous for is Belgian chocolates. So if you are coming to Brussels, where do you go, what do you buy and what should you pay for some of that finest Belgian chocolate?
I must admit that I am a fan of chocolate, but not necessarily of chocolates. The ones filled with sickly sweet fillings that we get in the Uk don't really do anything for me, I much prefer a couple of squares of a simple high quality dark chocolate. The ones in Belgium are however a very different proposition.
Judging by the sheer number of chocolate shops around Brussels the Belgian people must be crazy about them. If you go to the touristy areas there are chocolate shops everywhere, which you'd expect. What you wouldn't expect is that even in less touristy areas there are still a lot of specialist shops selling nothing but chocolates. They are like corner shops, there is almost literally one on every street. Almost any route you choose to walk along in Brussels will see you passing at least one at some point.
I did a little research about the subject, and apparently Belgium was the place where the praline was first developed. This was by Neuhaus according to this very useful article. A praline is a chocolate shell with a different filling, often a creamy or fruity one, but sometimes a chocolate or coffee mousse. Safe to say they are very different to the sweets that you get in a big metal tin from the supermarket in the UK as Christmas approaches.
Belgian chocolate is still seen as being the best in the world, and the reason for this is the existence of all of those small shops, many of which still make the chocolates by hand on the premises using the finest ingredients. As was pointed out by Best of Brussels last week, there is still a lot of variety to be found in the chocolate around Brussels, and they are not afraid to celebrate it! One of the events making up Brussels chocolate week recently was to create a giant chocolate train in Gare du Midi.
So the big famous chocolate shops that you will find all over the city are Neuhaus, Godiva and Leonidas (who have a UK online shop). If you search in google for brussels chocolate you will get loads more information. There are even chocolate museums, tasting, walking tours of the shops, more than your waistline can probably stand! There are several chocolate shops within chocolate throwing range of the chocolate train in these pictures in Gare du Midi.
I canvassed opinion around the office and their favourite choclolate shop in Brussels is apparently Marcolini, who have a very nice shop you can find off Avenue Louise (the main shopping street), just by one of the poshest hotels in the city. They ship them too.
The place that sells the biggest volume of chocolates is apparently the airport at Zaventem, who claim this on their website, they also claim to be 10% cheaper than anywhere else in Brussels to buy the brands that they stock. They are also of course very convenient, as you can buy before you fly and don't have to fit them into your hand luggage.
Belgian chocolates are however not particularly cheap. This follows from the ethos of them being made by hand using traditional methods and the best ingredients. Expect to pay over €10 for a small, pre packed selection, rising to large amounts if you want to be more extravagant or pick out your favourites. A selection of around 20 pralines in a presentation tin, costs around €20 in the airport shop.
There are cheaper options though, most people in the UK will be familiar with Guylian and Cote D'Or chocolate for example. Cote D'Or is the equivalent to Cadbury's here I guess and Guylian are in every supermarket both here and in the UK.

It's taken us a year to get to this point, too much BS dealing with the house itself, but finally got stated on what's important... the trails!!!
I know I could get more out of more of DJ style hits, but I want it to be more big bike friendly.
Got it built right in front of my "storage shed"
Just getting started, got about 100+ yards of jump track from the fist hit to my side lot, then we'll work our way up the hill. This will be the first hit after reaching the road.

Histological analyses have identified lymphocytes and macrophages as the predominant leukocyte populations that infiltrate organs undergoing chronic rejection. In order to define the time frame of this infiltration, we investigated the in vivo migration pattern of lymphocytes in a well-established rat model of chronic kidney allograft rejection. F344 kidneys were orthotopically transplanted into bilaterally nephrectomized Lewis rats. Recipients were treated with cyclosporin A (1.5 mg/kg/per day) for the first 10 days. After anti-CD18 or vehicle pretreatment, peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from naive Lewis rats and labeled with 3H-uridine were injected into transplanted rats 12 and 16 weeks after transplantation. Organs were harvested 4, 8, and 12 h thereafter. After 12 weeks, proteinuria developed, accompanied by all signs of chronic rejection including glomerular sclerosis. Labeled lymphocytes rapidly infiltrated grafted kidneys 4 h after injection. Even more lymphocytes had accumulated in the grafts 12 h after injection. After 16 weeks, few lymphocytes had emigrated into the graft at 4 h, while infiltration was most pronounced by 12 h. Pretreatment with anti-CD18 inhibited the influx of lymphocytes. There was no difference between the patterns of lymphocytes derived from naive and transplanted rats. Our results emphasize the importance of endothelial cells in chronically rejecting kidneys for the control of leukocyte influx. beta 2-integrins may play a central role in determining the transendothelial migration during this process.

BYODs Dark Side Data Protection
BYOD is a trend that's here to stay. Workers are continuing to demand to use their personally owned devices in order to do their work. This is great in that it allows workers to be productive anywhere from the platform of their choice. Unfortunately, there is also a dark side to this trend.
Securing all of this vital data that lives on personally owned devices isn't easy. Endpoints have become increasingly more powerful and sophisticated, causing the need for data to be consistently protected. So how do you deliver mobile capabilities and a solid user experience without putting your vital data at risk?
Access this white paper to learn more about the dark side of BYOD – and how you can defend against it. You'll get the facts you need to get started on the path to building a better endpoint protection strategy.

Professionally speaking, the singer has continued to experiment over the last two decades
or so, mastering musical styles from orchestral pop to traditional Mexican. Personally,
however, she's as tradition-bound as they come. Ronstadt has two adopted kids now, and
several years ago the three of
them quit California for Tucson, Arizona. "I decided to raise my children there because
they have more dirt," says Ronstadt, "as opposed to concrete." Tucson is where her father
ran Ronstadt's Hardware, where her grandfather once managed a sprawling cattle ranch and
where, on the remaining 10 acres of that ranch, she grew up. "That sense of place," she
points out, "is something very hard to come by these days."
In an old central Tucson neighborhood laid out by a student of Central Park designer
Frederick Law Olmsted, Ronstadt found a pink stucco Mediterranean-style house built by
Roy Place in 1928. "I fell in love with it when I saw it because it had this tile in the
study that reminded me of my father's room in our old house," she says. "And I think I've
met almost everyone that's lived in the house. I know the family that built it and the
daughter of the family that
grew up in it. So it's always felt like a house that was loved." The place was in good
hape when the singer acquired it, but it was slightly cramped after her three-story
residence in San Francisco. "None of my furniture fit. The house has lots of doors and
windows, and I couldn't figure out where to put anything."
Her quandary led her to Studio Encanto, a neighborhood establishment run by interior
designer Christy Martin. "She just waltzed into the shop one day and said that she was
looking for a decorator and had heard I was the best in town," recalls Martin.
"My mouth kind of dropped open. I said thank you and pretended I didn't know who she was."
Martin not only knew who the entertainer was, her former husband had been the last
tenant of Ronstadt's new house.
Their first project together was redoing the children's bedrooms - Ronstadt's daughter
got a star-spangled ceiling; her son, a cowboy motif. Then they turned their attention
to the singer's own bedroom, placing her bed on the diagonal to make room for a
gingerbread-trimmed mantel that Ronstadt had purchased in L.A. Martin, along with
Tucson-based architect Bob Vint, oversaw construction of a new master bath
(and a breakfast room below), taking pains to see that its arches and tiles and fixtures
matched the period details of the rest of the house.
Above: The sheet music for "Over the Rainbow," arranged for Ronstadt by Gene Puerling, is
displayed on the pianoin the living room. Photographs of Ronstadt's parents, taken by
celebrated Hollywood portraitist Lansing Brown,are to the right of an Art Nouveau bust.
The family traditions extend to the garden, where Ronstadt tends to her jasmine and roses,
citrus and olive trees, in the "by guess and by golly" manner of her father. She stocks
the house with cut flowers and cures her own olives, and the descendants of her father's
Araucana chickens provide eggs. The chickens wander the grounds with a full complement of
pets. "You have to imagine the house with a little white dog, a big LassieŁtype dog and
three cats roaming around," says Martin. "Kids running in and out, the phone ringing -
it's a very, very lively household."

The list from the providores this week:
Seafood with Wayne Hume
It's been an interesting week this week with a variety of stuff in the markets. The most interesting thing was the launch of the albacore tuna from Mooloolaba in Qld - called bincho its albacore tuna caught and processed in Japans ikijima method whereby the tuna is individually line caught, brain spiked to kill it instantly and then immersed in an ice bath to preserve it - great for sashimi or cooking. On the plus side, line catching is a very sustainable practice in the fishing industry.
Also this week there are lots of bottle squid - these are the tiny, tiny little squid no larger than your thumb and Wayne reckons if you can find it the size of your thumb tip you don't even have to skin, gut or de-feather them, just chuck 'em in hot oil and eat all crunchy like. Yum.
Other lines in the market his week include hapuka, snapper and Spanish mackerel which is an excellent value great tasting fish.
Next week also sees the start of the Tasmanian Scallop season and it appears there may be a good yield from them plus it's the last few weeks for Pambula angasie oysters if you've never tried the venison of the oyster world. Tassie pacifics were limited this week, lots of SA Coffin Bays and rock oysters are just getting better and better as it gets warmer and warmer.
Fruit and veg with Hugh Wennerbom
The market had a real spring in its step this week after the bad bad markets of previous weeks.
The big news was the arrival of new season asparagus and the first pick is the sweetest, Hugh reckons go for the big thick stuff as they're tender and not stringy.
Qld strawberries are excellent and tick all the boxes - flavour aroma and cheap as.
Baby local globe artichokes are plentiful, beetroot, broccoli, cabbages, cauliflower, chicory, rappa, silverbeet, spinach, endive, fennel, kale and kohlrabi, peas and sugar snaps, snow peas and swedes, turnips, Jerusalem artichokes, parsnips, CHOKO's, shallots, radishes, Chinese greens, bitter melon, hairy melon and long melon.
In fruit it's all citrus and pome and with citrus mandarins and Seville oranges being the pick. Hugh's also loving the mammoth custard apples in the market but leave them til their soft and ripe.
Meat with Grant Hilliard
With new season fruit and veg Simon asked Grant what was new season in the meat world and the first item that Grant is excited about are pullet eggs. Pullet eggs are the first eggs from a layer and are only around for 4 - 5 weeks. Different from the egg the pullet will go on to lay they're smaller, sweeter and richer. They weigh between 30 - 40 gms, have a high yolk to white ration and are perfect for poaching or using in scotch eggs.
The next new season item is capretto or baby goat. Not a by-product from the milk industry these are very young 8 - 9 kilo boer goats, bred for meat and sold whole to roast on a spit or in an wood fired oven.
Finally new season lamb is starting and whilst we pretty well are used to the stock standard merino cross lamb, consumers are becoming aware of niche breeds of meat lamb such as Southdowne, Wiltshire, Texel, Suffolk and Dorper.
Finally Grant paid tribute to Alan Bateman who with his wife Clara bred Angus on a small sustainable farm in Wildes Meadow. Passionate about sustainable agriculture and caring for animals Alan passed away a couple of weeks ago.

Bobcats close to completing sale?

Re: Bobcats close to completing sale?
PoT, the fact that the team is for sale doesn't mean that the team is moving. The NBA isn't necessarily the kind of business where that is the case. In common business, if a franchise is for sale, it is highly likely that the new management transforms the acquisition into it's brand...for example, Rite Aid Pharmacy bought out Eckerd Pharmacy, who had previously bought out Kerr Drug. Rite Aid immediately turned all of the old Eckerd stores into Rite Aid's - the Bobcats, whether owned by Johnson or someone else, will remain the Charlotte Bobcats.
If anything, having new ownership, or the idea of having it, would energize this team rather than demoralize it. No one likes Bob Johnson and I don't know of anyone (other than you apparently) that doesn't want to see this get done.

BigInteger Explicit Conversion (BigInteger to SByte)
Defines an explicit conversion of a BigInteger object to a signed 8-bit value.
This API is not CLS-compliant. Namespace: System.Numerics
Assembly: System.Numerics (in System.Numerics.dll)
- value
- Type: System.Numerics.BigInteger
The value to convert to a signed 8-bit value.
Return ValueType: System.SByte
An object that contains the value of the value parameter.
value is less than SByte.MinValue.
value is greater than SByte.MaxValue.
The overloads of the Explicit(Decimal to BigInteger) method define the types to which or from which a BigInteger object can be converted. Language compilers do not perform this conversion automatically because it can involve data loss. Instead, they perform the conversion only if a casting operator (in C#) or a conversion function (such as CType or CSByte in Visual Basic) is used. Otherwise, they display a compiler error.
Because this operation defines a narrowing conversion, it can throw an OverflowException at run time if the BigInteger value is outside the range of the SByte data type. There is no loss of precision in the resulting SByte value if the conversion is successful.
The following example illustrates the conversion of BigInteger values to SByte values. It also handles an OverflowException that is thrown because the BigInteger value is outside the range of the SByte data type.

Stephen Hendry, seven-time World Snooker Champion, has retired from the game.
The Scot announced he was quitting the sport after a 13-2 mauling at the hands of Stephen Maguire at the Crucible on Tuesday evening.
Hendry, 43, claimed he made the decision three months ago.
"There's a few reasons - the schedule, the fact I'm not playing the snooker I want to play, and the fact I'm not enjoying practice. It was quite an easy decision," he said.
"I didn't tell many people [before the tournament], but this is me finished from tournament snooker."
Hendry made a maximum 147 break in the first round against Stuart Bingham, and admitted his animated reaction was due to his appearance at the Sheffield theatre being his last.
Hendry's 147
Prior to his elimination last night, he was making strides in his quest for a record eighth World Championship.
The 147 against Bingham was his third maximum - a record he now shares with Ronnie O'Sullivan - and he beat defending champion John Higgins 13-4 on Saturday.
"It's a sad day that I won't play here [at the Crucible] again, I love playing here but it's a relief as much as anything," he told the BBC.
"I want to do other things now. I've got a lot of commitments now in China, which I've signed up for and I can't do that and play snooker because I would never be at home."
Becoming the youngest World Champion in 1990
A participant in 27 successive World Snooker Championships, the least the Scottish great deserves is a selection of videos in tribute to his enduring class:

With an attempt to launch a town-wide natural gas expansion in New Canaan stalled, town officials are offering Yankee Gas a more modest plan that would bring the fuel to six buildings on and near Waveny Park.
Selectman Nick Williams, one of the many officials disappointed with the utility company, said the town would like to see natural gas at Saxe Middle, South Elementary and New Canaan High schools; New Canaan YMCA; Waveny House; and Waveny Care Center.
The effort comes eight months after Yankee Gas and town officials signed a memorandum of understanding for the implementation of natural gas in New Canaan, and three months after the company set the goal of laying down the first 5 miles of gas mains by the fall. According to officials, the company still hasn't approached potential customers to discuss the project and the goals it set now seem too farfetched.
"We spent a considerable amount of time and effort on drafting a comprehensive memorandum of understanding with Yankee Gas and unfortunately, due to internal incompetence on the part of Yankee Gas, that deal is not going to happen," Williams said. "The good faith on the part of the town was met with bad faith, or incompetence, on the part of Yankee Gas and they blatantly came to the determination that the economics of the deal was too one-sided for the town."
One of the obstacles the utility company has been facing is a state regulation, part of the governor's Comprehensive Energy Strategy plan, which was adopted in 2013 and introduces a "portfolio" approach to gas extensions requiring that 60 percent of the customers commit to service before construction starts.
Williams rejected the excuse, noting that the agreement was vetted by Yankee Gas' senior executives.
"They always knew that that change was going to come about and yet they continued to negotiate," he said. "They have admitted that their representatives overpromised and undelivered."
Although he would not be specific, Yankee Gas spokesman Mitch Gross said the project is "moving forward."
"We're disappointed to hear that the selectman (Williams) feels this way," Gross said. "We are still committed to converting more than 82,000 customers to natural gas across our service area over the next 10 years, and this expansion presents a great opportunity."
Gross said the company continues "to be in frequent talks" with First Selectman Robert Mallozzi and is considering the town's request to bring natural gas to the schools, Waveny Park and YMCA.
"That's part of the conversation," Gross said. "Conversations have never stopped with representatives in New Canaan."
Gross would not provide a time frame for the project, but he said the delay is partly due to the size of the expansion in New Canaan.
"This is a regulated undertaking," Gross said. "It must meet state-mandated requirements."
The goal of the new state regulation is to allow more customers to cost-effectively connect, since it would reduce up-front expenses, according to the state's Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.Read Full Article
The original plan was to use several municipal facilities as "anchors" for the project. The gas would come from a pipe just to the west of town, in North Stamford. Then, the pipes would come through Frogtown Road, into the center of the town, hook up to Town Hall and other town buildings, down South Avenue to the schools, the YMCA, and expand as "tentacles" to secondary roads where there's the most interest.
The 60 percent threshold would not be required to bring gas to municipal buildings, according to Mallozzi, who has asked Northeast Utilities, Yankee Gas' parent company, to present a potential new proposal at the next Utilities Commission meeting, which is scheduled for Sept. 8.
"We would still like to do a deal with them, but we will only do that if it's not on the expense of the town of New Canaan," Williams said.
Gross said "there is interest" in the company to attend the meeting but nothing has been confirmed.
Willams added that the town is open to working with a different utility company. He called Yankee Gas' approach "wholly unprofessional."
"I've been on Wall Street for 25 years as a transaction attorney doing complicated deals, both domestic and international deals," he said, "and I've never seen a counter party act in the manner that Yankee Gas did."

Restore Alkaline pH
Alkaline pH as indicated by achieving a, first morning and evening urine pH between 6.4 and 7.0. This can be done with minerals and synergists.
- Coral Legend, the first product of the pH Trio, consists of 100% Sango marine coral powder which contains highly ionized calcium, magnesium and trace elements. Recommended use for adults or children (age 2 and up): 1/2 to 1 teaspoon, once to twice per day.
- Quantum Aloe Drink (or Aloe Powder), the second product of the pH Trio, combines an inner-leaf aloe concentrate with organic pomegranate. When mixed with Coral Legend, the amino acid structure of the aloe powder ideally targets the coral minerals to the soft tissue for greater metabolic efficiency. Recommended use for adults or children (age 2 and up): 2 fl oz, or 6 teaspoon/day mixed with the Coral Legend in water or juice.
- Quantum Cod Liver Oil, the third product of the pH Trio, provides U.S.P. grade, mercury-free cod liver oil which is rich in Vitamin D3, an essential nutrient for calcium utilization at the cellular level. It also contains rich amounts of EPA and DHA which are critical for the brain's growth, repair and maintenance Recommended use for adults or children (age 2 and up): 2 Vcaps or 1/2 teaspoon/day.
Testing Urine pH
It has been clinically established that the urine's pH is an accurate reflection of the whole body's tissue pH.
The state of the body's acid/alkaline balance can be easily measured by testing the urine using hydrazine paper (also called pH Paper).
The urine pH is directly correlated to both tissue oxygen levels and soft tissue levels of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and trace elements. These minerals are the basic currency of exchange for every cell in the body.

Friday I took the day off from work to get legalized again - as they say, it's no fun being an illegal alien, and I'm not interested in deportation. But getting legal doesn't take very long, and the weather and my spirits were both so good that I wanted to do something nice. There are several French places between the city hall and home, some quite highly rated, and I thought I'd try one of them. This being Japan, they were both fully booked for lunch on a Friday. Then I thought of the two well-regarded Italian places in the neighborhood. And they're both closed at lunch. Emergent pattern? Thus I'm embarrassed to say that I ended up at Pivoine - embarrassed because I liked it a lot, even better than I remembered, and I think it would be worth your while to schlep over here and try it sometime.
The basic gimmick, as far as I'm concerned, is that the chef and waitress used to work at Merveille and struck out on their own (with some intervening spells, but never mind that). This means you get the same service, almost the same food, and a lot of the same atmosphere, but even cosier and a bit cheaper. In the past I wrote that the food wasn't quite up to the level of Merveille's Matsumoto. On this visit, within the confines of the simpler ingredients and techniques I chose (no stuffed quail en croute for lunch, y'know?), I thought it was really good.
What do you think? The above 3.5 courses were Y3k at lunch; dinners start at Y4k for the basic course (same dish-count, but no choices). There aren't too many options because it's such a small neighborhood place that they must not be able to keep inventory and plan turnover, but if even the regular ingredients are going to get cooked this well, I don't much care. Chef really seems to have lifted his game since my last visit, already going on a year ago. I'll be visiting again, much sooner this time.
You were perhaps expecting a Thursday night post?

I could hear the sound long before I actually saw the birds themselves - a constant chorus of "chow, chow" from the cliffs above the beach. Climbing up the path, I soon caught sight of an unmistakable silhouette: the raggedy black wings with their long fingertips, the loose, floppy flight, and as I got closer, that long, decurved, blood-red bill.
I was on Marloes beach, in southwest Wales, watching choughs. Like most birders, I have a soft spot for the rarest British member of the crow family. I was rewarded with excellent views as the birds stood precariously on the edge of the cliff, splaying their bright red feet to keep their balance. They were feeding ferociously, digging into the soft earth with sharp, pointed bills, and consuming dozens of leatherjackets, the larvae of the familiar crane fly.
Close up, I could see the subtle tones of their plumage: not black, as it usually appears from a distance, but bluish-purple in tone, each feather shining when it catches the light from a particular angle.
In flight, performing acrobatic forays from the clifftops, these are wonderful birds to watch. One after another they take to the air, hanging momentarily on updraughts of wind before turning with a flick of their wings, and soaring upwards into the clear blue sky, calling as they go.
After a while, that characteristic call begins to attach itself to this spectacular landscape. Like fish and chips, and cockles and mussels, the two just seem to go together - and a sound that seemed so unusual when I first heard it simply blends into the background. It is only when you stop to think for a moment, that the link between the chough's call and its unusual name becomes clear. English is a particularly flexible language, and the "ough" sound the most slippery of all. What is written as "chough", and nowadays pronounced "chuff" (to rhyme with rough), was originally said as "chow" (to rhyme with bough). Like other names in the crow family - jackdaw, rook, crow and raven for example - it is of course onomatopoeic.
This part of Britain is Celtic country, about as far from the home counties - geographically and spiritually - as you can get heading westwards without getting your feet wet in the Irish Sea. Choughs are birds of the Celtic fringe too: found along the western coasts of Wales, Scotland and Ireland - and now, it seems, Cornwall. For the "Cornish chough" has returned to breed in the county, much to the delight of proponents of Cornish independence and local birders alike. Its proud place on the Cornish coat of arms - alongside two other endangered species, the miner and the fisherman - finally makes sense.
Back in Pembrokeshire, choughs are common enough to be encountered on clifftops all around this beautiful coast. Perhaps they will eventually expand their range still further, and hop across the Bristol Channel to the Somerset coast near where I live. If so, I can guarantee a warm welcome for this comical, delightful and noisy bird.

Corticelli Silk Co. & Tatting
Corticelli is a name familiar to tatters. The booklet "Corticelli Lessons in Tatting" Book 3, 1916, by Nellie Ellison and Melvia Stoddard has long provided patterns for us to use. This book included a full instruction section and gave us 170 patterns to tat. It also combined tatting with the specialty braids of the era, such as coronation braid, turtle braid and rick rack.
The entire booklet is available for free download from http://antiquepatterns.dreamhosters.com/EllisonCortTat.pdf
Apparently there was an early attempt to establish sericulture in the state of Massachusetts. This did not succeed but the manufacturing of silk thread continued. Samuel Lapham Hill (1806 - 1882), a member of a society of Abolitionists and Utopians [ed's note: Sojourner Truth, former slave and advocate for civil rights was also a member there in Florence, MA], invented a machine which could spin silk fine enough to be used in sewing machines. His company was called the Nonotuck Silk Co. At the 1876 Centennial Exhibition the story is told that Hill supplied thread to Mr. Singer used a spool on his machine. After this testing, "machine twist" silk thread by Nonotuck made that company the premier manufacturer.
Mergers were popular in those days, so it is not surprising for us to read that by 1922, the Nonotuck Silk Company had merged with the Brainerd and Armstrong Company. The new company was called the Corticelli Silk Company. A decade later Corticelli Silk Company merged with the Belding-Hemingway Company. The company closed in 1930.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The major U.S. stock indexes turned mostly lower on Friday, erasing early gains as cheer over better-than-expected employment data gave way to nervousness ahead of the U.S. presidential election early next week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.93% fell 14.3 points to 13,218.18 and the Nasdaq Composite COMP, -2.43% slipped 3.52 points to 3,016.48. Paring gains, the S&P 500 index SPX, -2.52% was last up less than a point at 1,428.43. Stocks had opened with modest gains, buoyed by data showing that the economy created 171,000 jobs in October, more than economists expected.

Been thinking about this for a while. I figure it might be fun to be this crazy in the 2070s...
Work in progress, suggestions are welcome!

The Hogwarts Tradition
Version 1.01
Concept: Through study, practice, and effort magic can be wielded and harnessed. Based on the printed book phenomenon of the early 21st century, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was established for the Awakened who wanted a unique magical education. Each prospective student is 'sorted' into one of the four houses of the school leaning to one particular focus of spellcasting
Combat: Fire (Gryffindor)
Detection: Air (Ravenclaw)
Health: Earth or Plant (Hufflepuff)
Illusion: Man
Manipulation: Water (Slytherin)
Drain: Willpower + Logic
Quality Requirements:
Mentor Spirit (Familiar) - A specific animal pet can be chosen and with a possession ritual be inhabited by a spirit attuned with a student. This provides the student with a loyal, living companion called a Familiar. This quality also provides the capacity to learn the Expecto Patronum spell which is a limited Conjuring ability of a Guardian spirit in the shape of an(other) animal (student's choice).
The Houses of Hogwarts - All students must pick one.
"You might belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart, their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.."
A combat-centric house, Gryffindor students are known for their boldness. Though not wholly focused on offensive spellcasting, this house's students are far more likely to pick up athletic activities and learn marksmanship or fencing while studying at Hogwarts.
"You might belong in Hufflepuff, where those are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuff's are true and unafraid of toil."
Sturdy and reliable, Hufflepuff students are not as eccentric as the other houses but are known for their kindness and amiability. Fearless and resourceful, Hufflepuffs are fast friends. Many focus on the healing aspects of magic.
"Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, where those of wit and learning, will always find their kind."
Considered odd and bookish by the other houses Ravenclaw is nonetheless the leader in arcana and enchanting ability. Knowledge is their true goal, in any form, and their student body is as diverse as the entire school combined. Many are burgeoning artisans and enchanters in their own right.
"Or perhaps in Slytherin, you'll make your real friends, those cunning folk use any means, to achieve their ends."
Manipulative and domineering, Slytherins aren't really all that bad. They merely see everything as a means to their end. Though considered "Dark" by the other houses, Slytherin is home to a varied array of studies from paracritter communication, the use of various alchemical substances, and the nature of magical control.
Geas (Wand) - A spellcasting and drain focus with a rating equal to the student's Magic / 2 (round down), it is specifically attuned to an individual and is required for almost all of his spellcasting. Cost is Rating x 1000 Y.
Geas (Latin Vocalization) - Spells are properly enunciated with vaguely Latin words combined with Wand movement.
(I don't know if I should provide bonuses too for the various Houses.)

The ability to resell, trade, and loan digital games is something that did have potential and Microsoft know that no one else is doing this. In a GameSpot interview, Albert Penello a Xbox Senior Director admitted that they believe that this has to be part of the future digital ecosystem for the console, but right now they are focused on the launch of the console, but it something that should be part of the experience.
Like the Family Sharing feature, it is something that Microsoft will revisit when the time is right. Penello was not clear on how these abilities might be added to the console in the future, but it is clearly something that they are looking at in the future. Actually, that isn't a bad thing, but one has to question at this point if consumers are ready to look beyond the short term to the future of the digital ecosystem as Microsoft calls it.

he's laying flat on his stomache...how do turn over?
yeah, so I'm new to judo and haven't gone to a enough classes yet to learn any good ones and the only one is where i put my arm under his,lift so i can get the leg on the same side under, try to roll himover into my guard for a RNC.
So yeah, obviously if it doesnt work hes just right back in the same position. There haven't been many classes yet this year and I'm probably the newest member in a few years LOL, its a kinda small class but it's great. I figure he's just letting me play with it so I don't get scared away, and will get into more stuff as I go along.

I have a training partner that does this and I just choke him anyway. Mount him, get an arm in and go for the RNC. He'll have to move to defend it and that when you get your hooks in. I have also gotten him in a head and arm choke from there as well.Amateur MMA record: 8-3-1

From the side, try grabbing a handful of his Gi pants around halfway up the outside of his nearest thigh (for the sake of this example, I'll assume you are on his left) and lifting the leg.
Once it's up, slide your right knee into the gap you created, then hook your left arm under his head to grab his Gi around his right shoulder. Roll him over, and keep your weight down - press your abdomen into the ground.
Try that. There are plenty of others, but I've found that one to be a pretty straightforward turnover.

why roll him over? if he lays flat out and you're on his back, just start sinking a RNC. he won't be able to do a damn thing against it from there. I find that's a better position than having him on top of you while you're on your back. What will most likely happen is, once you try to sink the choke from there he'll try to get on his knees. Just grapevine his legs out so he goes back to his stomach and finish the choke. I promise, this is actually a great position to be in for a sub.

In MMA and Submission wrestling, you're absolutely right Wolf. But you can't touch the face in judo competition, so no grinding the bridge of the nose to expose the throat, for example.
+ it's a belt requirement to be able to do turnovers anyway.

oh, well then...ignore what i said :toothy10:
9/30/2007 9:28pm, #8
Make sure not to be like me, and resist the urge to grab the back of their collar and spine crank them when they flatten out on their stomach. No matter how much your opponent is asking for it, that sort of thing is heavily frowned upon in judo.

Last time I was in a judo class it was completely acceptable to apply pressure to the back of the neck via the forearm. Make the guy uncomfortable enough to force him to make a move.
On a side note. I despise the "you need to be a higher belt to do that" mentality. So long as you don't grab the guys junk, stick a finger in his ass or otherwise molest him I'd say go for it. It's like the BJJ guys I roll with that get pissy when I put an elbow in the throat. 9 times outta 10 they bitch because they can't beat you to begin then they have to hide behind "well you can't do that in judo/bjj/kung fu and so on".Amateur MMA record: 8-3-1

Lol. You sound familiar (Mighty Mcclaw). If you weren't in Michigan I'd swear I rolled with someone who sounds just like you last week.
To the OP: Another good turnover is when you swing around until you are in a modified north-south position (as per usual but with your opponent face-down instead of face-up). Drive your right (for example) arm under their same side armpit (their left in this case) into an underhook.
Pulling them towards you as you lift up their arm (and shoulder by proxy), bring yourself into a squatting position (virtually sitting on their head) and swing your opposite leg (your left leg in this case) over their body - making sure not to let go of the underhook).
You can then drop your weight straight down, which makes you roll back, and apply a Sankaku-JIme (triangle choke) by tucking your foot into the crevice of the opposite knee or juji-gatame (armbar) by bringing your knees together and arching your hips, or even do a forward roll, also ending in an armbar that looks pretty cool.
Obviously that's far more complicated, and therefore easier to screw up, but that kind of thing can work well if you drill it enough to be fluent, and the opponent doesn't really expect it. Stick with the first one for now though.
Tabwyo - I agree with you completely. In Judo, what you can do it grab two handfulls of the back of their Gi collar - right behind the neck and give it a bit of a surreptitious grind. I perfer sparring and rolling in MMA rules, where you get a more accurate idea of what you can do. After all, turtling is a good way to get the crap beaten out of you in a serious fight.
I also hate the mentality of "oh you can't do that, it's illegal", but when I envisage Judo as a martial sport, and MMA sparring as fight training, I can deal with the restrictive ruleset.

Dear Skyline Community Church members and friends,
For some, the issue of gun control today can be summarized as a "policy debate." For me, it's not.
The epidemic of mass shootings in the United States is a moral and religious catastrophe. The voice of the prophet Isaiah, echoes through the ages, "The people walked in darkness, living in a land of deep darkness."
I believe that God's heart was the first to break among all of our hearts last Friday, in the unfolding horror of the second deadliest school shooting in American history, as twenty-eight people were killed in Newtown Connecticut, including twenty children.
I believe that God is weeping with pain right now. Weeping with these parents whose children were just executed, weeping with the spouses and relatives of the staff and weeping with the whole community. I believe that God is weeping with this country as well, weeping over the darkness, the blindness, the moral stupidity of this country that is weakening gun laws instead of strengthening them, and buying more guns despite an epidemic of mass shootings in places like schools, movie theatres, and malls.
The voices of the prophets echo through time, "Keep watch, stay awake, Prepare yourselves" It's a call to action, not only to personal action, but also to social and civic responsibility.
Don't tell me that this isn't the time to talk about guns. This is the season of turning swords into plowshares, and assault weapons into instruments of healing.
Don't tell me that we only have a week to resolve the "fiscal cliff" crisis. We have a crisis of far greater proportion. 50,000 more innocents could be killed if we delay another year.
Don't tell me that it's almost Christmas.
Don't you remember, how Jesus' birth was accompanied by the mass murder of innocent children? Murdered by a paranoid King, who massacred children that he perceived as a threat to his power?
In chapter 2, Matthew writes,
As it was spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah:
"A voice was heard in Ramah, Wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; She could not be comforted, because they are no more."
We must hear their voices now, the voices of those crying now, at the slaughter of the innocents.
The gun lobbies, not only the National Rifle Association funds the legislators who pass more and more permissive gun laws that lead to tragedy after tragedy.
What is needed is immediate legislative action to ban the kinds of weapons typically used in these mass shootings. Even gun owners who hunt realize it is ridiculous for these type of weapons to be sold in this country. Who hunts with an assault rifle?
A visibly shaken President Obama seemed to disagree with his press secretary in saying that despite the politics, we as a country need to act. There have simply been too many deaths from mass shootings.
"As a country, we have been through this too many times. Whether it is an elementary school in Newtown, or a shopping mall in Oregon, or a temple in Wisconsin, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a street corner in Chicago, these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods and these children are our children. And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."
Amen, Mr. President. Now let's all act.
As Jesus said, "You are the light of the world, You are the salt of the earth".
I encourage You, to join me, in signing this petition:
Click here to tell the President to send legislation to Congress to renew the ban on assault weapons and to require all gun buyers to undergo an immediate background check.
