Toxicological Profile for Ionizing Radiation
September 1999
Toxicological Profile Information
The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described here. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The complete list of topics covered (chapter titles) is shown at the left and in more detail further down this page.
The focus of the profile is on health and toxicologic information.
Therefore, each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in nontechnical
language, a substance's relevant properties.
A useful two page information sheet, the ToxFAQsTM, is also available.

Recall 11V029000
A Fuel Leak Can Develop at the Fuel Pressure Sensor Connection
Recall Details
The fuel pressure sensor monitors fuel pressure for optimum engine performance and emission controls. Lexus has found that some of these sensors can loosen from the fuel line, which may cause the sealing gasket to leak fuel. To prevent this from occurring in the future, your Lexus dealer will ensure that these sensors are properly fastened. No schedule of owner notification is available at this time.
Our Quick Take
A fuel leak may develop from the engine area, increasing the risk of a fire. A fuel smell may or may not be noticed.
What Should You Do?
We at RepairPal have designated this a high priority recall. A fuel leak could develop without warning; please contact your Lexus dealer. They will check to see if your specific vehicle is affected and advise you on what to do next. Always have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.

Carlos Mencia was faced with the difficult task of trying to make people laugh just hours after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings Dec. 14, but the 45-year-old standup comedian said before his show at Governor's Comedy Club in Levittown, NY, fewer than 90 miles from the tragedy, that he was not only up for the challenge, but he wouldn't shy away from the subject.
Mencia feels it's what makes him unique.
"I guarantee somebody in the audience will ask, 'Hey Carlos, got anything to say about that?'" Mencia said while driving to the tour stop. "They still come to me for my reaction. It's cathartic for them. It makes them feel better about the world around us — the craziness around us.
"What works best for me and is best received is when I do premises that are in people's heads, but are kind of off limits to other comics. The beauty of comedy is when people come to a comedy club, there is a certain veil of reality suspended. We all know it's a joke. But it's best served without any anger or edge. That would come off as negative. I've learned to adjust. It's made me a better comic."
The old Mencia might not have cared how he came off. He was pulled from the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans in 2009 for jokes he made about Hurricane Katrina. But Mencia — who will perform Friday and Saturday at Up Comedy Club — has been making plenty of changes recently. He said he had to.
Once the star of his own show, "Mind of Mencia," on Comedy Central for four seasons, and the face of Bud Light's Super Bowl ad campaign, Mencia saw his red hot career tarnished in 2007 when fellow comedian Joe Rogan confronted him on stage and accused him of repeatedly stealing jokes from other comics (the video of the incident has more than 3.3 million views on YouTube). Mencia admits the backlash from the public and comedy community forced him to step away and reevaluate himself.
"We all have forks in the road," Mencia said. "When the comedy community turned on me, I had a lot of reflecting to do. I didn't want to approach it with the same '(Expletive) them, they're jealous.' I wanted to grow from the experience. I said 'OK, I'm not some Hamburgler guy in a corner watching other comics.' That's not who I am and anyone who says otherwise is disingenuous.
"The fact that so many comics were waiting to jump on the bandwagon of hate toward me — what is it about me that engages this kind of behavior? I began to see it: My cockiness, my lack of hanging out with other comics. A lot of that wasn't my fault. I don't drink or smoke. But I got to the point where I began to be introspective and go to therapy."
Mencia's self improvement included losing 70 pounds (he said he decided to go on a diet after a diabetic friend pointed out how heavy he was) and tweaking his standup routine so that it wasn't so angry and included less f-bombs and shouting (he said he often lost his voice from screaming on stage). He returned to Comedy Central in 2011 with his appropriately titled stand-up special "New Territory" — and, like so many other comedians, he now has his own podcast, "Laughin' and Livin'."
"It takes a bad thing to happen in your life for you to make a huge dynamic shift. We don't grow as human beings from good things happening. We grow from failures," Mencia said. "I changed the program in my head. I always had good intent, but now it's a little more overt. I was granted a gift and I'm just trying to share that gift."

The Lido Café
Time Out says
As befits a café attached to one of south London's best-loved outdoor swimming pools, the Lido Café is light-filled and very chilled. The interior design is smart and airy with stark beech and white furnishings, opening out on to a decked area overlooking the water, and punctuated with potted palms and blue parasols.
The monthly menu is short but designed with love, care and boundless enthusiasm for seasonal British produce, stretching from the breakfast menu of eggs benedict, fry-ups and blueberry buttermilk pancakes, to light lunches (Severn & Wye smoked salmon and rye bread, charcuterie platter with pickles, salads) to sophisticated evening dinners (grilled harissa mackerel with crushed jersey royals and samphire salad; cardamom confit free-range duck leg with English asparagus).
Fishcakes on creamed spinach didn't stand out, but a burger with all the trimmings on sweet brioche was perfectly balanced. Alternatively, you could just pop in for a seriously good coffee, a wicked slice of cake and a few lengths of front crawl. At weekends, the place is inevitably awash with swimmers and dry-side diners but during the week, the lido offers a tranquillity that can be hard to come by in London.

Breakfasts are spot on here. On the weekends, expect a long wait unless you've booked.
Amazing staff and great atmosphere... Imaginative food and delicious drinks.. I only wish I could visit every day!
Great place looking out over the lido. With the quality of food you can almost pretend you're on holiday...
Superb setting, wonderful staff and service and excellent food; I love this place.
Dog friendly outside only - I wish there were more eateries that were more relaxed about dogs allowed inside, although perfectly warm under heaters, listening to Cafe del mar style music. 5 star food, strong man breakfast - delicious, chicken salad with fresh and chargrilled broccoli, zucchini & beans, fresh orange, red velvet & carrot cake. So delicious & our new local favorite with a great atmosphere.
A really lovely and relaxed place to eat. Great view of the lido, healthy and guilt free food, as well very tasty not so healthy food (the burgers are the best we've had!)
Family friendly, happy & helpful staff, lucky Herne Hill!
Nice place and the food is good in general. They lost our desert order, no big deal - we had to chase them on it. The desert was not as described, we ordered ice cream with espresso, we got a glass of ice cream with one scoop, which had melted before it even got to our table (and prior to pouring the espresso on before you ask... the staff did ask).
When we asked the waiter (2 of them) about this that it seemed very little and we expected a little more ice cream, they consulted the kitchen and the basic answer was that was all you get, like it or lump it. We didn't feel this was best represented on the menu and as waitresses, perhaps could have exercised a little more 'PR' when reiterating this back to us from the kitchen... rather than a 'deal with it' sort of attitude.
They need to try harder.
Update to a review posted around 6 months ago ... I swim at the Lido pool &, in need of a coffee & a slice of cake afterwards, I thought I'd re-try this place after giving up on it because of the service. I had been a regular for coffee, cake, breakfast & lunch for over two years, tolerating the comically poor service because the setting was so perfect before I finally bailed. So, would I wait 10 minutes for a menu, 20 for my order & then be brought the wrong coffee? Would I battle for 40 minutes to order & receive a coffee then not be brought my change - as if a tip was warranted!? Wow - no! This time around there are clearly more staff on show. I was greeted & shown to a table promptly & with a smile. I could barely believe it when my order was taken & brought to me in a matter of minutes, even though they were modestly busy. Unlike the bad old days, I had no difficulty in ordering a second coffee or in getting the bill. The coffee here is good, the food is fine although I wouldn't rave about it (note - some time since I ate a meal here). I think the building & the setting are the stars. If the service remains competent & friendly I will be back. I may even persuade my husband to try it again.
Sadly my visit to the café was truly disappointing. We waited over 40 minutes for lunch to be served. When the food arrived it was cold and tasteless. I don't normally complain but it was so bad I felt I had no choice. We were given a £10 reduction in the costs but I even resented paying the remaining £23.00. There are good restaurants in Herne Hill and Brixton. This one is to be avoided. On a good note, the coffee and cakes looked good.
I too am/was a reluctant regular here as the cafe has a beautiful view, a good menu, and is ideally located when out with kids or using the lido. In the summer I feel like I'm on holiday when sitting by the poolside here at the lido cafe - it is lovely. However, there are a good few negative points about the place that bring a 5 star review crashing down to a 2. Firstly, the prices - they are unreasonable. This week I bought two iced coffees to take away. As well as taking almost 10 minutes to prepare (they were not all that busy either), when they arrived they were in open plastic pint cups filled only a third of the way. I had ordered one with soy milk, the other regular, and the soy one was even visibly smaller. There was no ice in it, I assume it may have all been blended, but it was not very cold either. For the pleasure of waiting for these small, tepid drinks I was asked to pay £9. I felt compelled to ask if they could at least fill the cups, as for £4.50 that was not acceptable. They refused to even fill the cups with ice cubes. I can understand why chains such as Costa succeed despite peoples' desire to support independent cafes. I had the previous day bought a very large, very cold, Costa frappe for £.2.30 and the customer service was better, I didn't have to wait more that a minute, and I didn't have to argue about the price and the product. Lido cafe - shame on you. Yes, the rent must be high, but you are always buzzing with customers, and you employ (seemingly) young, low-paid, impolite and inexperienced staff (all of who have at one time or another placed cutlery and hot drinks next to babies in high chairs without even thinking about it). You have disappointed me one too many times now, please sort yourself out as you are losing customers through greed.
Only been a couple of times but on both occasions found the service excellent. Staff were really lovely and welcoming and the food is amazing!
Amazing dinner in a stylish venue with a good wine list, great alternative to Brixton village on cold nights. Only been in the evening and service has always been spot on.
Food was generally good bu thr chips cold dry, and also service rude and appalling.
I love the lido cafe: great food, great view, great atmosphere & friendly and reasonably priced. Easily the best brunch/breakfast in the area. It's also great for kids, with a special menu and toys for the little ones to play with. Make sure you book a table, as it can get very busy.
The Lido Cafe has a bit of a disconcerting entrance as you enter via a narrow side door, but once you are in there, what a tranformation! The view on the terrace and out to the pool is beautiful and very peaceful, the Lido Cafe is a great place to watch a sunset sipping a cool glass of white, but also manages to feel suitably cosy in the winter. The quality of the ingredients and desire to use local and seasonal produce is definitely something I look for in a good restaurant and the Lido has never disappointed, I've had many lovely meals there. Their occasional special events are definitely good fun, Flamenco night was great! Recommended to anyone.
I'm a happy regular at the Lido Cafe. I've experienced delicious wine tastings there; big celebratory feasts at Christmas & for special birthdays; & even a massively romantic wedding by the water. I've brought friends visiting London to this place literally from all over the world, because it sums up the best things about London: it serves the community, to provide comforting, delicious, high quality food; with a real respect for the provenance of ingredients. Fun, vibrant, and intimate. Perfect.
When the sun finally came out in London yesterday I decided to go for lunch at The Lido with some friends. It was a wonderful experience: we sat outside on a lovely wooden table, enjoying the heat under the shade and the wonderful view of the blue pool. It felt like being on holiday! The service was super friendly and attentive. The food was superb, tasty, fresh and generally top quality ingredients for a reasonable price. The freshly squeezed apple, carrot and ginger juice was a highlight, served in a generous sized glass. We are definitely coming back, next time to try the famous breakfast.
This is my favourite cafe in South London. The food is always tasty and original, reasonable and not pretentious, and they serve the best coffee anywhere! Also as a Londoner I am sick of bog standard cafes, or chain restaurants, I love somewhere that feels like it has a personal touch, with friendly staff and a family/community feel. The Lido does this perfectly. I have been quite a few times because it is really sunny and welcoming, and does really cheap and good breakfasts and good deals on a wednesday night! I highly recommend!
Lovely spot, been coming here for a long time. Food is very good and the lattes have art on them! On a sunny day it feels like you are in the med... Highly reccomend it
We have been to the lido cafe twice before at the weekend for breakfast and once in the evening. The food is always delicious and well cooked. It's such a shame that it took nearly 45 minutes for our brunch to arrive, plus a lot of faffing to seat us. Surely it doesn't take that long to make a child's scrambled egg and baked beans? There was no apology or explanation for this delay, which would certainly have helped make the experience better, just a lot of stressed out staff. It makes me reluctant to go back.
First timers at Lido we were enticed by the blinding review given by Time Out. Sunday morning, 10am(ish) was the time we arrived. It being a lovely sunny May day we had hoped to possibly get a seat outside and look at the swimmers strutting their stuff but alas this idea was dashed when we arrived into a 10-15 minute long queue. We accepted this and were happy to people watch the eclectic view of interesting patrons. We were seated by the window which was nice and then proceeded to wait for something to happen and wait and then wait some more. Finally we were offered our drink order to be taken by in fairness an apologetic young waiter, drinks ordered we waited some more for them to come. When they eventually came the coffee was good, the orange juice was watered down, in a tiny glass and cost £3!, disgraceful. We waited some more for our food and although it looked good was as cold as the swimmers outside and the bread seemed stale (we had scrambled eggs and sausages). I would imagine our plates had been sitting waiting for pick up for at least 15 minutes, which along with the delay in service would lead one to the conclusion that Lido is seriously under staffed. With the revenue being turned over on orange juice sales alone you would think they could invest in a couple more bodies on the floor. So all in all a disappointing outing and I am adding an extra star only for the polite waiter. We will be back but only for a swim.
What a wonderful place to have Mothers day breakfast:) There were six of us in the party. We sat on wonderful Olde world long wooden benches, that gave you the feeling of comfort that was their hay day in the 1800. The table again long solid wood. Some of the other table and chairs would look in place in a school hall. The Art deco was very in keeping with the Lido swimming pool, and we would have loved to have had a dip there. Thank goodness we booked as there was a continual queue. The service was outstanding and with only a 10% service charge well worth it. We sat down at 1230pm and some of our party were late arriving, but our order was taken quickly. I ordered a bacon bap and a cup of black Earl grey tea. The others were two poached eggs with smoked salmon,two with eggs and ham and a full breakfast all served at speed forty five minutes later. My tea was not Earl grey, but it was black and they kindly left the tea bag in, which was fun hooking it out and the tea was very well stewed. I had to remove the streaky bacon from the lovely very dry bun as the lovely bacon rind was not crisp and I could not bite through it. I would recommend this wonderful restaurant and it deserves a mention in the Best Breakfast guide.
Love this cafe. Attention is slow-ish at peak times, but extremely friendly. And the food is always fresh and premises are generally clean (i go there at least once every 2 weeks). Reading the newspaper on the couch, while sipping my cappuccino is one of my favourite things. Thanks for a wonderful service and keep it up!
Today was my third visit. Full of mums with children, which is great, but the children were screaming, running all over the place, food on the floor, child lying on the floor - their wells strewn across the floor. A scooter was even being used although the mum did try to stop that. Childless visitors gradually moved outside except a bit chilly today. Nothing is said to the mums with unruly kids and I certainly won't be going back. Service was appalling - had to ask for menus, ask to order and ask for bill. The grilled chicken was bland, fatty and totally disgusting. I complained - when I got their attention that is - they apologied but I was not offered anything else nor a reduction. ps normally I will eat anything if hungry but not their chicken. They are getting complacent and its turning into a creche!
alienswampmonster must be as crazy as there username; this place is fantastic. I had breakfast and lunch today. It was busy all day, yet the service was friendly and swift. my coffee had artwork in it and the food was fantastic. Prices are cheap and with my 10% gym discount it's even more of a bargain!
Had a lovely expereince here on Saturday, really good full english, and stornwaway black pudding (mmmm) coffee was very good with latte art to boot! I came here as a local friend said it was amazing, I wasn't dissapointed.
Truly terrible service and they seem to like keeping those with children waiting exceptionally long. They serve something they call pancakes with maple syrup. My kids thought they were tasteless, spongey pitta-style breads and refused to eat them. The syrup had clearly never seen a maple tree. Lovely setting, shame about the crappy service and crappy food.
oh no. no no no. what lovely setting but a shame about the food. we were hoping for a decent breakfast but what we got was a big disappointment. to put it simply, they can't cook bacon. it was sweaty, limp, and sad-looking. streaky bacon should be crisp. and, preferably smoked. we even asked for it to be crispy. come on lido cafe.
As a local, the Lido cafe has by far the best breakfast in Brixton / Herne Hill area, specially after a cold swim. Also, I highly recommend having a drink or dinner while the sun is setting over the park, evening food is pretty descent too with well sourced produce.
Coffee here is great and so is the food, though they could be more generous with the toast for the full English (one slice is not enough!). Agree with Paul though - the concrete floor and windows mean the acoustics are pretty bad and the noise can be quite deafening. Maybe an investment in a new floor would be worth it to dim the noise.
Disagree with PaulR. The service when I went (last Saturday) was very quick and attentive. The breakfast was top notch and I didn't think it was overpriced. Yes, sometimes there are a few kids but you have the option of eating on the terrace to get away from the noise.
Hit and miss sometimes good sometimes bad. Often full of very noisy children and the acoustics make the noise unbearable. Service is slow prices high.

MINNEAPOLIS - A man fired from his job at a Minneapolis sign-making business pulled out a handgun and began shooting up its offices, fatally wounding the owner and four others before turning the gun on himself, police said Friday.
Andrew Engeldinger, 36, injured at least three others in the Thursday attack at Accent Signage Systems, which Police Chief Tim Dolan said lasted no more than 15 minutes. Dolan also said Engeldinger may have chosen to spare some former co-workers.
"It's clear he did walk by some people, very clear," Dolan said.
Engeldinger's family said in a statement issued through the National Alliance on Mental Illness later Friday that he had struggled with mental illness for years. They offered sympathy to the victims.
"This is not an excuse for his actions, but sadly, may be a partial explanation," the statement said.
No details were released about why Engeldinger was fired, but police said he had ongoing problems at work. Investigators who searched his home Thursday night found a second gun and packaging for 10,000 rounds of ammunition in the house. In the shooting, Engeldinger used a 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistol he had owned for about a year, Dolan said.
"He's obviously been practicing in how to use that gun," Dolan said.
Among those killed was Accent Signage System owner Reuven Rahamim, 61, employee Jacob Beneke, 34; and Keith Basinski, 50, a UPS driver who had made deliveries and pickups at the business for years.
Relatives described Rahamim, who immigrated from Israel and spent three decades building his business after starting it in his basement, as a passionate cook and devoted to his family. Beneke was an avid sculpture artist and painter who worked as a digital imaging manager, and Basinski was a Wisconsin native dedicated to the Green Bay Packers who Dolan said "just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."
The other two men killed were identified as Rami Cooks, 62, of Minnetonka, and Ronald Edberg, 58, of Brooklyn Center. Two other people remained at the hospital, one in serious condition and one critical condition. Four of the five men killed suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Police received multiple 911 calls from inside the business during the attack, which Dolan described as "a hellish time." When officers arrived, they heard no shots but found some evidence people had tried to fight back, Dolan said. He declined to elaborate.
Police initially said Engeldinger was fired in the morning, then returned in the afternoon. But police revised their account later Friday, saying they were piecing together chaotic events from multiple witnesses and that no one saw the shooting from start to finish.
Capt. Amelia Huffman said it appears Engeldinger got a letter of reprimand in the mail, came into the office Thursday afternoon and was then terminated.
"This had been an ongoing employee situation, which culminated in termination in the afternoon," Huffman said. "From the best we can tell, the incident started right after Mr. Engeldinger had been fired."
She said there was a struggle in the office and shots were fired, and employees elsewhere in the building heard gunshots. "And Mr. Engeldinger left the back office area and fired additional shots throughout the building," she said.
There were more than 20 people in the building at the time.
Dolan described Accent Signage System, a business that includes both offices and manufacturing, as a large building with many rooms branching off to the sides. There was no security and it took tactical units a long time conduct a thorough search. They found two people hiding "a very long time" after the attack began, Dolan said.
Engeldinger's body was found in the basement, he said.
Sue Abderholden, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness' Minnesota chapter, said Engeldinger's family had sought help from the group two years ago, with his parents taking a 12-week course on recognizing and dealing with mental illness.
She said their concerns were "much more centered around paranoid thoughts. No violence or anything like that." The Engeldingers were not able to convince Andrew to seek treatment, she said.
Andrew Engeldinger's uncle, Joe Engeldinger of New Germany, Minn., called his nephew a "good kid" who seemed normal and well-adjusted until about two years ago when he broke off family contact.
"When I would see his family, I would ask them about Andy and nobody could ever tell me anything," Joe Engeldinger said.
Joe Engeldinger, a professional handyman, said his nephew lived with him for a time in the early 1990s shortly after graduating high school, and worked for him helping to renovate old houses.
"He was a good worker. I never didn't trust him with anything," Joe Engeldinger said.
Chuck and Carolyn Engeldinger raised Andrew and his two siblings in Richfield, a suburb directly south of Minneapolis, according to Joe Engeldinger. He said his nephew was excited early in the last decade when he bought his first house - the modest bungalow in south Minneapolis that police raided late Thursday night, hours after the shooting.
Neighbor Thomas Pitheon said he sometimes exchanged greetings with the man he knew as Andrew but who rarely made much of an impression.
"We just said hi, how you doing, that sort of thing," Pitheon said Friday. "He seemed like an average guy."
Pitheon said he "put two and two together" Thursday night after hearing about the shooting on the radio, then arriving home after dark to find "about a dozen" SWAT teams swarming around Engeldinger's house.
Joe Engeldinger said Andrew's immediate family were having a "horrible time" since learning what happened. He said they were as befuddled as anyone about why he withdrew from loved ones.
The phone line apparently belonging to Engeldinger's parents was not working Friday. His siblings, who also appear to live in the Twin Cities, did not answer phone calls or respond to messages through social media.
"I can only assume there was some kind of mental break there," Joe Engeldinger said. "He wasn't a monster. He wasn't. He was a real good kid, a real good person. He had a real good heart. I don't know what made all this transpire. Hopefully the truth will come out, and won't get twisted into some demented thing."

OAKLAND — The grandfather of a missing 21-month-old girl said Tuesday that no one had seen the toddler for two weeks before her father reported her missing from the back seat of his SUV parked in East Oakland on July 10.
Kevin Davis and about two dozen relatives and friends of missing Daphne Viola Webb gathered in front of Oakland police headquarters Tuesday afternoon to call on the public to report any sightings of the girl or her father, John Anthony Webb, 49, in the past two weeks.
"According to my knowledge no one has seen the child since June 27," said Davis. "We need to find people who have seen the child in the past couple weeks."
Absent from the news conference was the girl's father, John Webb, who was arrested one day after the girl went missing on felony child endangerment, spent one day in jail and was released when prosecutors declined to file charges. Webb was not immediately available for comment late Wednesday. He has never been named a person of interest or a suspect in Daphne's disappearance.
Shortly after 11 a.m. on July 10, John Webb told police his daughter disappeared from his black Ford SUV when he left her and his 87-year-old mother — who has dementia — together in the vehicle while he went inside a convenience store at 79th Avenue and International Boulevard to purchase an energy drink. When he returned, he said the car seat was askew, the back door was open and his mother's purse was missing.
Oakland police and the FBI have led the investigation into the missing girl and have been aided by numerous agencies of searched of the Martin Luther King Jr. Shoreline park, water and trails near the father's home on Greenridge Drive. Police did not have any updates on the case Tuesday, said police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson.
The child had been living with her father and her grandmother since February after her mother, Kiana Davis-Webb, 31, entered a residential substance abuse treatment home in Oakland.
I n February, Davis-Webb was convicted of child endangerment and possession of a controlled substance, according to court records from Alameda County Superior Court. A passer-by called Oakland police after seeing Davis-Webb passed out in a car with Daphne in the back seat, records show.
Davis-Webb was found to have taken a prescription painkiller without a prescription and drank an unknown amount of alcohol before getting behind the wheel. She accepted a plea deal and was barred from seeing Daphne for several years, but a court order was later modified to allow her limited contact.
In an interview last Friday, she said she has made a great strides to turn her life around and repair what she did wrong in the past. Davis-Webb is not a suspect in the case, police said.
At the news conference, Davis thanked police and the media for attention to the case, and presented a request to reporters.
"As the spokesperson for (the baby's mother) and her family, we have been deeply troubled that over the past few days. It seems the focus has somehow shifted from bringing our baby home to other issues that are not central to our one and only focus, and that is the safe return of baby Daphne to her parents, family, friends and loved ones."
Davis-Webb did not speak at the news conference and Kevin Davis declined to answer any questions following his brief statement.
"The last time we did that some dirt came out and I don't want to do that right now," he said. He declined to elaborate.
Joined by the family Tuesday was Marc Klaas, the founder of the KlaasKids Foundation, which helps out in missing persons cases and advocates for child protection laws. His own daughter, Polly Klaas went missing 20 years ago and police questioned him early on. "In this types of situation the parents are always suspicious," he said.
Police continue to focus on an unidentified woman who at least two people say they saw a few blocks from the corner store with a child who matched Daphne's description and was also wearing pink socks. That woman was described as black or Hispanic between 30 and 40 years old who had long, straight black hair and was wearing a light-colored shirt and blue jeans.
Daphne is black, about 2 feet tall and weighs about 30 pounds. She has short, black, curly hair, a medium complexion, brown eyes and is missing part of her left ear. She was last seen wearing an orange, two-piece pajama set with pink hearts and pink socks.
Family members will hold a candlelight vigil for Daphne at 79th Avenue and International Boulevard at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Supporters have set up a website, www.FindBabyDaphne.com, for updates on the case.
Anyone with information about the case or who has seen Daphne is asked to contact the Oakland Police Department Missing Persons Unit at 510-238-3352.

The Argentina striker was forced off moments after scoring the third goal at the Etihad Stadium from the penalty spot in the 74th minute. City do not expect to know the extent of the injury until at least Thursday but first-team coach David Platt has already ruled out the possibility of Aguero facing Watford in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Last season's top scorer could also be doubtful for the January 13 trip to Arsenal. Platt said: "It is difficult to assess an injury like that, how long it is going to be. He'll certainly be out Saturday and in my experience he'd be doubtful for Arsenal."
Platt added: "But there are different degrees of hamstring injuries - that's why we need 48 hours. It is not just, 'It's a hamstring and this is how long it will be' - we have just got to wait.
"There will be a lot of swelling and a bit of bleeding in there. We don't know how it is going to settle down. It's a blow but unfortunately, when you have got so many games in a short space of time, you are running the risk with everybody."
On a more positive note, fellow forward Mario Balotelli appears to be recovering after a virus.
The Italian has missed the last four games with the condition but is now back in training.
Platt said: "The problem was he was ill, came back and trained and had a relapse with the illness so went back down again.
"It looks as though he has got past that now. He has had two or three days' training and will have another few days before the game at the weekend.
"There is every chance he will be available for selection."

GOP sits out Texas abortion fight
The liberal side of the Texas abortion showdown has the two most powerful Democrats in Washington squarely in its corner: Barack Obama and Harry Reid — not to mention a Dixie Chick.
On the right: Rick Perry's holding down the fort without much obvious help from national Republicans.
Story Continued Below
The RNC hasn't latched onto the fight. Few national Republicans have weighed in. And a key party official in Texas acknowledged there's no behind-the-scenes help coming, though he says he doesn't need it.
Republicans will talk about the abortion bill when they're asked about it, but they aren't swooping into the fight with the same enthusiasm as liberals.
( PHOTOS: Wendy Davis's filibuster)
The mismatch makes sense: Even abortion bills that poll well, like the one in Texas does, open the door to the kinds of comments that have hurt national Republicans repeatedly — from Rep. Trent Franks's comments last month on the "very low" number of rape-related pregnancies to Todd Akin blowing his shot at a Senate seat over his "legitimate rape" remarks in 2012.
But that political calculus doesn't do much for anti-abortion activists who are glad to see their issue front and center.
"You either fight and ask your leaders to fight on an issue that cuts your way or you just fold up and go home, which is what the national party wants to do," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List. "It really is fear. It really is simply, 'We're not going to go there.'"
( PHOTOS: Stars weigh in on Texas abortion fight)
"Now, you've got an issue that's in your platform, that cuts your way with big margins. To be silent is a mistake," Dannenfelser said.
In contrast, Democrats couldn't be happier with the way the issue is energizing their supporters.
Jeremy Bird, the former national field director for President Obama's reelection campaign who now runs Battleground Texas, a group that's trying to make Democrats more competitive in the state, says the abortion showdown inspired about 500 volunteers to knock on doors registering voters this weekend.
"Most people don't just wake up one day and say, 'I want to register voters in the 100-degree heat," Bird told POLITICO.
( Also on POLITICO: Texas abortion drama set to resume)
The political reality is that abortion is a dangerous debate to have on the national stage, even for a short period of time — as Franks found out when his comments on the "very low" number of rape-related pregnancies blew his chance to lead the debate on the House-passed ban on abortion after 20 weeks.
And that was a one-day debate in the House. The Texas Legislature is about to spend the better part of 30 days on it. That's a lot of time for someone to trip on their shoelaces.
Perry's decision to call a special session to pass the bill — which would ban abortions after 20 weeks and impose strict new rules on abortion clinics — carries the risk of political missteps for every day the Legislature spends on it. Perry has already made some people on his own side cringe with his remarks last week suggesting Davis was lucky she wasn't aborted.
( QUIZ: Do you know Wendy Davis?)
It's not that Republicans are afraid the public won't support the Texas bill. They know the polling is solidly on their side: Most Americans favor some restrictions on abortions, and a Gallup poll earlier this year found that their support for legal abortions drops dramatically after the first trimester.
There's also the National Journal poll that found 48 percent of Americans would support a ban on abortions after 20 weeks. And the Texas bill, specifically, gets high levels of support, at least among the state's voters: a Texas Tribune poll found that 62 percent of the state's voters would support eliminating abortions after 20 weeks.
Those polls don't measure public support for all of the implications of the Texas bill — particularly the new health standards that, according to its critics, could force all but five of the state's abortion clinics to close.
But taken together, the polls give Republicans a reasonable amount of confidence that the Texas abortion debate won't alienate huge blocs of voters.
"I don't know how you get in trouble politically for taking a position that a majority of Americans favors," Texas Republican Party Chairman Steve Munisteri told POLITICO.
GOP pollster Whit Ayres said he'd be "happy to have a debate on an 80 percent issue when the 80 percent is on your side" — referring to the eight out of 10 people in the Gallup poll who said abortions should be illegal in the third trimester.
But there's a difference between having the public on your side on an issue and having them think it's important. Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport noted that abortion is never one of the top priorities Americans list when the polling organization conducts its regular surveys of national priorities. In the May survey, he said, the top priorities for Americans were jobs, the economy and a more efficient government.

Scouts, Inc. has released their player rankings for pretty much every player in the NFL. I thought I would take a closer look at their ratings, and also give those of you who don't subscribe to ESPN's insider a chance to view them.
The highest ranking any player received was a 94 (out of a supposed 100).
Two players tied with these high scores, DeMarcus Ware and Tom Brady.
Meh, no arguments there, I suppose.
At a point lower, at 93, there were 10 players, including two Ravens.
Haloti Ngata – 93
They gave this scouting report on #92:
Ngata is one of the best defensive players in the NFL and possibly the most important member of an excellent Ravens defense. He is a massive and incredibly strong. Ngata also has rare athletic ability, quickness and closing burst for such a huge force in the middle of the defensive line. He is extremely versatile and can shoot gaps while holding the point and absorbing double teams. He can also effectively line up in many spots along the defensive line. Ngata can be a force rushing the passer, but he could stand to develop a wider variety of moves. His effort also has been somewhat of an issue here and there, but that problem has progressively improved as he has matured. Ngata is an elite player.
Pretty high praise for a guy that has yet to even make his first Pro Bowl appearance. Now -I'm not arguing, just pointing out the deficiencies of the Pro Bowl voters. I will argue with the "effort" knock, though. We heard a lot about this (cough, Mark Schlereth, cough) when Ngata was drafted out of the University of Oregon, but I sure can't remember hearing one peep about Ngata taking plays off since he has been in the NFL. Can any of you?
To compare, the rankings for the top five defensive tackles in the NFL were:
1. Albert Haynesworth – 93
2. Haloti Ngata -93
3. Shaun Rogers – 91
4. Kevin Williams – 90
5. Casey Hampton – 87
The other Raven scoring 93 was, of course –
Ed Reed – 93
Simply put, Reed is one of the best in the business. He has elite range and is one of the few backend defenders who opposing signal-callers truly fear. Reed is a game-changer from his deep center field position and allows the Ravens to be very aggressive with their schemes. Not only is he a supreme ball hawk with rare anticipation and ball skills, but he is also an extremely dangerous weapon with the ball in his hands and is an immediate threat to score. He is also a superb kick and punt blocker when used in that capacity. Finding negatives on Reed is a difficult thing to do, but in 2008 — while playing with a neck/shoulder injury — he did take care of his body more than usual and wasn't as violent with his collisions.
Everyone knows how great Mr. Reed is. Although they count his only "negative" as his less violent collisions, I have to commend them for remembering that Ed was, at one point, a huge hitter from the safety position (something the Troy Polamal-who? fanatics are quick to forget).
Speaking of Troy-Boy, he also scored a 93, adding yet another to the list of analysts who find it impossible to choose between the two.
Top five safeties:
1. Reed – 93
2. Polamalu – 93
3. Adrian Wilson – 90
4. Bob Sanders – 87
5. Kerry Rhodes – 80
Terrell Suggs – 86
T-Sizzle was the next Raven on the list, scoring an 86.
Suggs has been a mainstay on the Ravens' defense. He has been a solid pass-rusher in the base 3-4 scheme. He has excellent quickness and speed off the edge with enough burst to close to the quarterback. He understands leverage and how to get his opponent off balance as a pass-rusher, while using his strength and quickness to counter back inside. He uses his hands well to disengage as a run-defender and work the edge of blockers. He is a versatile player who can drop effectively in coverage and is best in underneath zone schemes. He isn't extremely fast in pure man coverage and is rarely used in that way. Suggs is an instinctive player who reacts quickly as plays unfold, which enables him to be active to the pile. He is a tough hard-nosed player who wins with effort, intelligence and athleticism.
We would add that, in addition to making him "active to the pile," Suggs' great instincts also lead to some other big plays, as he showed with his two interception-return touchdowns in 2008.
Suggs came in at #6 on the list of linebackers, behind Ware, James Harrison, Shawne Merriman, Patrick Willis, and Karlos Dansby.
Kelly Gregg – 84
A bit of a surprise (at least to those who don't follow the Ravens and/or don't know football), was seeing Kelly Gregg next on the list. Always under-appreciated by the fans and talking heads, Gregg gets plenty of recognition by opposing coaches and others who know the game (in this case, scouts).
Gregg is built low to the ground and very powerful. He is an exceptional hands player who plays with excellent overall aggression. His motor never stops and his hustle can be infectious on his teammates. Gregg consistently wins one-on-one matchups and can handle a double-team while also making plays in the backfield. Although he offers little as a pass-rusher and rarely disrupts passing lanes or bats down passes, Gregg is the type of player who would make any defense better regardless of scheme.
It will be a welcome sight to see #97 putting his hand in the dirt (or Field Turf, as the case may be) again in 2009, after missing all of 2008 with knee injuries.
Ben Grubbs – 84
Grubbs, the Ravens' 2007 first round draft selection, came in as the #3 ranked guard, behind Steve Hutchinson and Leonard Davis.
Grubbs is one of the best young guards in the league today and should only be getting better. He is both powerful and athletic. He can move big-bodied defensive tackles off the ball in one-on-one situations and can pull or combo block to the second level. He is not a liability in space and also can recover laterally when initially beaten off the snap. Grubbs has heavy hands and can stun his opponent, while also showing the ability to finish plays.
Derrick Mason – 81
Again reminding us how grateful we are that Mason decided to "Favre" his retirement this year, he was easily the Ravens' highest scorer at WR.
Mason is the consummate pro and remains one of the most reliable wide receivers in the game today. Mason catches just about everything thrown to him and has superb natural hands. His route-running skills are even better with very fluid movement skills and a very good burst out of his break. However, Mason is not a big-play guy and doesn't stretch the field. He is more agile and quick than fast, but also is a top-notch student of the game who takes his craft very seriously. His size is a bit of a problem and he isn't a physical presence with the ball in his hands.
Joe Flacco – 80
Flacco burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2008, leading Baltimore to the AFC Championship Game. He showed the ability to digest what was given to him and obviously is quite intelligent. He has elite arm strength and can threaten the entire field. He has excellent size and the ability to scan the entire field clearly. Flacco could stand to add more bulk to better handle the rigors of playing the position at this level. Flacco is a surprising athlete who can make plays with his feet and throw well on the move. Flacco has a ton of upside and was very impressive in 2008, but he also had the benefit of having a grind-it-out rushing attack and an elite defense to help his cause.
Joe Cool actually tied for the #7 best QB after only one season in the league. Also scoring 80 were Donovan McNabb and Kurt Warner.
I'm guessing QB is the position on this list that will trump up the most controversy. Along with tying with the two listed above, Flacco was also rated higher than Tony Romo (79), Matt Ryan (78), Phillip Rivers (77), Jay Cutler (75), Aaron Rodgers (74), and a host of others.
We love Joe Cool, of course, so we love seeing him get so much respect. However, this one is taken with a grain of salt, as they also had Matt Cassel (81) above everyone we just listed.
Would anyone really rather have Cassel on their team than Rivers or Cutler?
Interesting barstool debate. Thanks, Scouts, Inc.
Rounding out the Top 10 Ravens on the list were:
Ray Lewis – 80
Lewis continues to be one of the most dominant run defenders in the league at the linebacker position. He is a powerfully built player with outstanding tackling power between the tackles. His ability to wrap up and tackle with jolting force is still evident in his 13th year. He has excellent instincts and vision to react quickly to the run and pass. He has outstanding football intelligence and is able to make all the checks and adjustments needed in the complex Ravens scheme. He uses his hands well to work through trash as well as having natural power to run through blockers. He is a crafty veteran who takes great angles in pursuit and maintains leverage on the ball-carrier. He has lost a step, but still has enough speed and quickness to be effective inside-out to the ball. He is a solid pass-defender primarily due to excellent anticipation and route recognition.
Trevor Pryce – 80
Pryce is a king-sized defensive end who can be a penetrating one-gap end or can hold the point in the run game an allow those around him to make plays. He is powerful with long arms and excellent hand usage. He keeps blockers well off his body and is quick to shed. Pryce is also a powerful tackler who can jolt ball carriers. As he ages, his leverage becomes more and more of a problem. Pryce shows more stiffness and his pads can get too high at times. Also, while a crafty pass-rusher, he doesn't offer much from a speed off the edge.
Matt Birk – 76
Birk is a crafty veteran who understands angles and leverage as an interior blocker. He is an excellent technician who uses his hand well to maintain body position. He has good pop and power on contact and is effective with combination blocks. He is athletic enough to slam and chip to the second level and stay connected with his target. Matt is effective in space and keeps his pads over his feet well when down-field blocking. Birk can anchor in the middle agaisnt powerful bull-rushers and has the quickness and range to make blocks on the perimeter. He is an experienced player who could play other positions along the offensive line in a pinch.
Birk actually scored a point lower than the man he replaced, Jason Brown. As much as we were sorry to see ol dancin' JB go, it is pretty much universally agreed around B'More that the Ravens had a net gain at center this offseason. Apparently these guys have a different view.
Anyway, feel free to argue for/against any of these rankings in the comments. And let me know if there is any other specific player you are curious about, and I'll do my best to find their score and report to fill you in.

Securing Your Access 2003 Database as an MDE File
If you make an Access 2003 database for other people — especially people who may be a teeny bit clueless about Access — you may want to lock up your database to prevent other users from making changes that may break it. You can add security in the form of user names and passwords, but a simpler option is to turn your database from an MDB file to an MDE file.
An MDE file is the same as a regular Access MDB database file, with the following changes:
- All VBA procedures are compiled — converted from human-readable code (more or less readable, anyway) to a format that only the computer understands. This change prevents a database user from reading or changing your VBA code.
- No one can create forms or reports or modify the existing ones (you can't even open them in Design view). You can't import any, either.
Be sure to keep a copy of your original MDB file! If you need to make changes to your VBA code, forms, or reports (or create new ones), you need to use the MDB file, not the MDE file. MDE files are most commonly used for the front-end database when you split an application into two databases (front end and back end).
Creating an MDE file
Saving your MDB file as an MDE file is easy. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure your database is in Access 2002/2003 file format by opening the database.
Take a look at the title bar of the Database window. (Press F11 if it's not visible.) If the title bar says "(Access 2000 file format)" then you need to convert it to the latest file format.
2. Choose Tools –> Database Utilities –> Make MDE File.
Access closes the database to do the conversion. Then you see the Save MDE As dialog box.
3. Specify the folder and file name for the file and click the Save button.
Access creates the new MDE file while leaving the original MDB file untouched. Then the new MDE file opens.
If Access runs into a problem while making the MDE file, a message appears with a Show Help button. Click the button to find out what's wrong.
Making updates later
Sooner or later, you are going to want to make a new report or fix an annoying typo in a form. You have to go back to your MDB file to make these kinds of changes, because you can't make changes in an MDE file.
If the MDE file is a front-end file, with no data stored in it, you can just make your changes to the original MDB file and resave it as an MDE file. Because all your data lives in the back-end database, you're all set.
However, if your MDE file contains tables full of valuable information, you can't just abandon it. If you use the MDE file to do data entry and editing, that file contains your up-to-date tables. The original MDB file has editable forms, reports, and VBA code, but doesn't have the latest version of the data stored in your tables. Not a problem.
Follow these steps to update your MDE file:
1. Rename your MDE file as a backup file.
For example, add today's date to the end of the file name (right before the .mde part). You're about to create a new MDE file, but you don't want to lose the data in this file.
2. Open the original MDB file and make any changes to contain the forms, reports, and VBA code that you want.
If you plan to make drastic changes, make a backup copy of the MDB first.
3. Choose Tools –> Database Utilities –> Make MDE File and save it as an MDE file with the name that your MDE file originally had.
Now you have an updated MDE file with new, improved forms, reports, and VBA procedures, but with old data. You also have an updated MDB file with your new, improved forms, reports, and VBA code (but out-of-date tables).
4. Delete all the tables from this new MDE file.
In the Database window, click the Tables button in the Objects list, click each table in the list that appears in the right pane and then press the Delete key for each table. You need to confirm each deletion by clicking the Yes button. Deleting tables sounds dangerous, but remember you have all these tables stored safely in your old MDE file.
5. Import the tables from the old MDE file to the new one.
Choose File –> Get External Data –> Import and choose the name you gave your old MDE file in Step 1.
You see the Import Objects dialog box, with tabs for Tables, Queries, Forms, Reports, and other objects.
6. Click the Select All button with the Tables tab selected and then click OK.
Access imports your tables from the original MDE to the new MDE files, replacing the older data in the tables.
7. Import any queries or macros in the old MDE database that you created or changed.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6, but use the Queries and Macros tabs on the Import Objects dialog box to import whatever has changed.
If you are going to do this often, consider splitting your table into a front end and a back end. With a split database, you don't have to re-import your updated tables: You can just leave them in the unchanged back-end database.

Reflections of a life lived
Album 12

[April 29, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
The tour ends much the way it
began, with a large scene depicting the final breath of a beloved
president. Though not everyone loved Lincoln on the day he
died, in the days, weeks, months and years ahead, they would come
to know him and understand what he suffered, what he accomplished
and how he shaped our country.
When Lincoln's
body was brought back to Springfield for burial, the funeral
train carried him through dozens of towns and communities, including
this one. People gathered at the train stations, longing to be
a part of the president's last journey.
In Springfield, people
gathered and walked in mourning behind the funeral procession
through the city.

Apple already has more money than the U.S. but that isn't stopping Steve Jobs from personally seeing that the gap only widens.
The Apple CEO is currently on leave from the company to take care of his health but that is not stopping him from personally negotiating a deal to expand the company's reach in China.
Jobs is in conversations with China Mobile and China Telecom to bring the iPhone 4 at 3G speeds to China Mobile's nearly 8 million customers, while China Telecom is reportedly being offered the iPhone 5, according to Forbes.
The moves would help expand Apple's already $8.8 billion market in China and give the company access to potentially 600 million new customers.
Apple is focusing a lot of its global expansion plans on China, as company COO Tim Cook said in July that the country was "very key" to Apple's revenues.

About TC
Like many of you, I have an obsession with the mythical concept of the eclectic old curio shop, those place bursting with dusty shelves full of old pulp novels, dried homunculus heads, and wonderful old vinyl records with covers sporting elegant women in various states of undress, as befits moonlight serenades and pink champagne for dancing. Yes, yes, I know as well as you do, from first hand experience, that these stores, at least nowadays and in the United States, do not reflect the reality of our situation, that these stores as they exist today are far more mundane and disappointing. But that doesn't kill the dream of walking into one and instead of finding chrome clocks, off-brand Snuggies, and Sham-wows, we might instead find ourselves having to choose between the hideous dried monkey paw that grants three wishes, the cursed ventriloquist doll, or the dusty grimoire containing unspeakable secrets.
Digging through the truly countless number of obscure cult and b-movies in the world is a lot like sifting through the piles in a wonderfully seedy and disorganized junk shop doubtlessly run by some creepy, fat old guy who stares at you a lot, keeps smacking his moist, fleshy lips for no reason you'd want to contemplate, and occasionally interrupts your browsing to see if you'd be interested in a suspiciously soiled and rumpled issue of Oui or a ring adorned with Nazi fingernails or some other such weird shit. In Gainesville, Florida, where I lived for many years and where I cut my teeth as a true obsessive regarding tracking down and watching strange movies, our local seedy junk store was Ray the Trader's. Ostensibly, the store specialized in old sci-fi novels and magazines, but that stuff took up only a small corner of the completely chaotic mounds that were crammed from floor to ceiling, wall to wall. Most of the store was given over to dusty electronics, old records and 8 tracks, porno mags from the 70s and 80s, racist salt and pepper shakers, grungy looking mugs and souvenir glasses, military memorabilia, and other glorious, sometimes offensive crap.
Rumor held that there was a special "back room" for VIPs, where Ray would let you peruse and purchase kiddie porn, dried human skins, Nazi stuff, and I don't know. Raffle tickets to win a night spent torturing a hobo or kidnapped UF co-ed or something. Credence was lent to the rumor by the fact that Ray the Trader's hovered just past the city limits, and thus presumably, the reach of all human law, and shared a parking lot with Gainesville sleaziest "edge of town" strip club. But on the other hand, they also shared a parking lot with a hibachi grill restaurant, and if there was such thing as the fabled VIP's stash, no one I knew ever got to look at. Or at least, they never got to look at it and live to tell the tale!
Well, dude was weird, whatever the case, but I'm sure people say that about me, too. And who am I to judge, since me and plenty of friends were in there from time to time, digging through his wares in search of old cameras, 50 cent VHS tapes, and that issue of Penthouse featuring Suzee Pai from Big Trouble in Little China. Never did find that one, but we found plenty of other stuff, and not all of it for personal use. There was a tendency among, let's call them the more impish among our crowd of friends, to take particularly perverse, hilarious, or somehow unattractive photos from Ray's old dirty magazines, blow them up to substantially larger size, and hang them on other friends' front doors, porches, or car windshields. Thus was many a lawn beautified by a poster featuring a cruddy copy of a photo with a caption like "Aja humps a humpback" or "Look at this clit: it's awesome!"
You never knew what kind of crazy shit you'd stumble across in that store, and I always liked that. It was like an old museum, from back before they gave a damn about organization, and natural scientists and explorers and crackpots would just bring in any old shit, an interesting fungus or a big or a skeleton with two skulls, and they'd pile it all onto shelves using a system of categorization that was, at best, esoteric and probably made no sense to anyone but the one mad old coot in charge of curating the menagerie. Or, in another way, it's like the web. There's more out there than you can ever process, and most of the good stuff you'll never find, because there's way way more shitty stuff. But every now and then, amid the link farms, spam, and sites dedicated to poetry written from the point of view of someone's cat, you find a true gem — the monkey paws of the internet, so to speak — and that makes all the boring, useless garbage worth having shoveled through.
Although the effort may ultimately prove to be misguided, and although it may end up be frustrating for the reader, my guiding design principle for this site is to model it after that hopelessly confused jumble of ephemera.

Like many UK historic tracks, Silverstone was built on the site of an old RAF airfield with the original circuit making use of the three runways in a triangle formation, so common to World War Two airfields.
The first race at the circuit is reported to have taken place in September 1947 between local resident Maurice Geoghegan and 11 friends who raced on a two-mile ad-hoc circuit. The race was plagued by sheep wandering onto the circuit; the event was nicknamed the 'Mutton Grand Prix' after Geoghegan hit one of the unfortunate creatures, signalling the end for both car and sheep.
The following year the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) took a lease on the airfield and set out a more formal circuit marked by hay bales. The layout still retained use of the original runways and led to a circuit consisting of long straights joined by hairpin corners. In 1949 the layout was revised to use the perimeter track and this layout formed the circuit for the first Grand Prix held there in May 1950. In the presence of King George VI, the race was won by Nino Farino in his Alfa Romeo, finishing two laps ahead of team-mate Luigi Faglioli.
The start-line was moved from Farm straight to the current location for the 1952 Grand Prix and the layout remained largely unaltered for the next 35 years. The circuit continued to host grand prix events but shared hosting duties with Brands Hatch and Aintree up to 1986. As the speeds of the cars began to rise, a chicane was introduced in order to slow the competitors through Woodcote corner, Bridge was also subtly altered in 1987, also for safety reasons.
After the 1990 Grand Prix, Silverstone underwent a major redesign in time for the 1991 race which proved popular with fans. The circuit's cause was no doubt helped when local hero Nigel Mansell won the race. At the end of the race Mansell stopped to give stranded Ayrton Senna a lift back to the pits on the side pod of his car, a now iconic F1 image.
Following the death of Senna at Imola in 1994, many F1 tracks were modified in a bid to drastically reduced speeds and increase safety. For Silverstone this meant modification to Stowe corner and the flat-out Abbey kink converted to a chicane.
Having hosted the British Grand Prix permanently since 1987, rifts began to show between the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC), who owned the facility, and the FIA. It came to a head when in September 2004 BRDC president Sir Jackie Stewart announced that Silverstone would not feature in the 2005 provisional F1 calendar. A last-minute agreement was reached in December, securing the race's future at Silverstone until 2009.
The circuit's future post-2009 looked rocky when Bernie Ecclestone said that he no longer wanted to deal with the BRDC and instead wanted an official promoter appointed. He also said major redevelopment was required for them to regain the race, including a new pit and paddock complex. In August 2007 Silverstone got the go-ahead to start renovations; however on July 4, 2008 Ecclestone dropped the axe on the Northamptonshire venue by announcing the event would move to Donington Park in 2010.
As Donington's plan appeared more and more shaky Ecclestone softened his "Donington or nothing" policy and admitted that Silverstone may get a chance to host the event. When Donington failed to raise the £135million it required for renovations Ecclestone once again opened discussions with Silverstone.
In December 2009 British Racing Driver's Club (BRDC) president Damon Hill announced that they had agreed a 17-year deal to keep the race at Silverstone, and a £5 million refurbishment, which involved changes to the track layout, followed.

OLED W click carries a 96 × 39 pixel white monochrome passive-matrix OLED display. This bright display has a wide viewing angle and low power consumption. The SSD1306 controller allows horizontal and vertical scrolling, contrast control, normal or inverse image display, and more.
OLED W click can communicate with your target board's MCU through either SPI (CS, SCK, MOSI/SDI) or I2C (SCL, SDA) mikroBUS lines. You switch between the two by resoldering three on-board jumpers (in SPI positions by default). Both modes also use PWM (A/C) and RST lines.
This small display is ideal for displaying lines of text or icons, because it has low power consumption yet provides a sharp, high-contrast display.
Note: This module uses a 3.3V power supply only.
There's another version of this module with a blue display.
Note: The picture shows the board with through-hole headers. The board now comes populated with male pin headers already soldered for your convenience. The board's user manual has yet to be updated to remove the soldering instructions.
You also can connect Click boards to many other popular platforms via these adapters:
In addition, it is royalty-free to add mikroBUS to your own designs. Visit the mikroBUS Category to see the full line of Click boards.

Suggestions.Could anyone, please, help me with complaint?
It might not be very good and properly written complaint, and it ends not very politely, but I don't expect any outcome for me from this complaint, but I hope that they will review it and maybe do something about it. So, I do want it to look professionally and well written.
It turned out very long, but I don't know how to make it shorter...
I will appreciate any help with spelling, grammar, rearranging words or any other help and suggestions!
Thank you in advance!
(My name,
December 11, 2012
(CEO name
and address)
Dear (CEO name),
have been a tenant ofhad rented a 5x5 storage space (#373) from (business name) for two years, renting atat (address). Unfortunately, an incident that happened at this location on November 24 makeshas forced me to cancel my contract and move out.
On the night of November 24, I went to my storage area to prepare
thea Christmas parcel for my parents. I didn't have a watch and didn't see that it was 22.20 (according to manager) when I was done.
The gate was already closed. I used the speaker on the security system to call for help, but nobody responded. After a few tries I started honking my car horn, but nobody responded. After about 20 minutes of tries I called 1-888-… …. number, the emergency line. I explained to the person that answered my call what happened,
toldgave the zip code and street name, but I didn't remember the street number. I explained that on that street there are two (business name). Since I didn't know the street number, the person REFUSED to help me. I was told that she would not call the manager and would not wake him up managerif I didn't know where I amwas! My explanation that I willwould have to spend the night in the car if she will not call manager did not help!
After I was refused help from the "emergency customer help" I started walking around and found a small gate that led outside the property. That gate was unlocked and I went to see
what isthe street number of the property. I walked around the building, went to the street, but the property did not have the street number! I could not find the number anywhere.
I went back to the small gate, but it was locked! It was 30 degrees Fahrenheit and I was wearing just a tee-shirt! I was locked out on the opposite side of the gate from my car! I started yelling and throwing small
rocksstones inat the windows of the building, hoping that the person that was inside willwould hear me and willopen the gate. but nobody responded!
I spent probably another 20 minutes outside. I got really cold, was shaking and shivering! I called again the emergency line and explained that I
willwould have to call 911 if nobody willwould call manager! As I was explaining that, police pulled into the parking lot. Instead of opening the gate, the person that was inside the building called police. I was treated by police as a burglar!
I spent
totallyalmost an hour outside at 30F in a tee-shirt! Next day I was sick, and was coughing! I did not go to work on Monday and Tuesday of November 26 and 27.
On Monday November 26, I called customer support with a complaint, and requested to talk to a supervisor, but instead customer support said that somebody from regional office
willwould contact me. Later that day I was contacted by a person from the regional office and was offered $25 as acompensation for my experience. I refused that offer, as it would not be sufficient compensation after what happened. A day later I was contacted by the manager on site and offered one month of free rent, which is $41.00. I refused that offer too.
Thank you for your
generousoffers, but I believe that life and health of a customer are worth much more! I hope that my case will be reviewed and in the future other tenants will not find themselves in the situation like mine. I hope that you will treat your customers properly and will respond to emergency calls accordingly! I do not moreexpect anything more from (business name), except better customer care for other tenantsrenters!
Thank you for taking the time to review my complaint letter!

New Microsoft Marketing Campaign: Another Failure
Hey, What's The Deal With Microsoft?
That's right, Microsoft has enlisted the help of Jerry Seinfeld for it's next round of Ad campaigns against their arch-nemesis Apple. Check the details of this new alliance at WSJ, some good information here.
Why The Microsoft Marketing Team Needs To Be Shot
Nothing says 90's relevance like Jerry Seinfeld. Instead rebranding themselves as forward-thinking and futuristic, they have relegated themselves back to 90's when Microsoft was king and Apple had yet to break through with the iPod. The days of yore.
Of course Seinfeld is going to be just one of the many celebrities promoting Microsoft, but if this is any indication of where this $300 million dollar campaign is headed, then Microsoft is about to piss away a fortune and end up in worse shape than they already are.
This is a stroke of less brilliance and more trying to capture a middle-aged/Boomer market that has drifted to Apple in the past 5 years.
Why It's Going To Fail (Just Like Everything Microsoft Does Lately)
There's no innovation whatsoever. They've always been a johnny-come-lately (i.e. search engine algorithms, AdCenter, Live Maps, etc.) , and they will always be. They are continually five or more years behind the curve on just about everything they do, outside of their Office Suite. (Which, by the way, is quite possibly the only thing Microsoft does well)
Microsoft reads the focus group reports, crunches the numbers, and come up with a strategy on that. They are always, always aiming for the where bar is TODAY not where they want the bar to be TOMORROW. That's the problem. Apple has the market cornered on the "satirical" ads between the two, and to green-light this marketing strategy, is just another example of today-thinking, not tomorrow-thinking.
Perhaps Microsoft should actually build themselves a "Wall" before they completely throw their money and their brand "Out the Window".
