Greek police ban rally by commando reservists
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek police have banned a protest rally planned in central Athens this weekend by a group of special forces reservists who demanded the resignation of the government and the appointment of an interim government under the guarantee of the military.
The association had called the rally for Saturday evening in the capital's Syntagma Square outside Parliament to press a total of 15 demands, which it had made public on a posting on its website. The posting, which also called for the resignation of the country's president and the expulsion of all migrants in the country illegally, triggered a judicial investigation.
Police issued a decision Friday banning the gathering, on the grounds that counter-demonstrations by opposing groups were likely and the rally could lead to unrest.

In today's economy, people remain reluctant to commit to long-term contracts and hefty annual fees, so more members are reserving the option to stay with or drop your club every month. That means the key to continued robust sales is less about attracting new members and more about retaining the ones you have.
Customers also are becoming more knowledgeable and discriminating. They're swayed less by savvy salespeople and cool promotions, and their brand preferences are formed more by what they experience when they do business with your company. People also rely on the actual experiences of others, which they now hear about through a plethora of review websites and social media, to make their purchase decisions—and they in turn use these new tools to share their own opinions to influence others.
In this environment, traditional sales and marketing tactics are becoming less important—and your club experience is emerging as your most powerful marketing tool. Here are four ways to ensure the daily experience you deliver is marketing your club appropriately:
1. Engage employees with the brand. Everyone who works for your club should share one common understanding of your brand so that they create a customer experience that builds the brand image and equity.
Ensure that all employees understand the values and attributes that define and differentiate your club, and how they should interpret and reinforce these in their daily actions and decision making. It may be difficult to engage a workforce with high turnover and, in some cases, low commitment to the company, but these are the very reasons why doing so is so important.
This isn't about hanging a mission statement on the wall—it involves providing ongoing training and coaching to establish appropriate behaviors. Many retail chains create tools and learning experiences to facilitate employee brand engagement. Fitness clubs would do well to follow their lead.
2. Identify and optimize priority touchpoints. Equipment selection, signage, club layout, employee uniforms, service standards and procedures, sounds and smells, etc. all contribute to the perceptions of your brand.
A great club experience isn't simply a matter of delivering efficiency and quality in these areas—it's about creating a great brand experience. Each touchpoint represents an opportunity to make a "deposit" (positive, differentiating and remarkable) in your brand equity—or a "withdrawal" (disappointing, unmemorable or inappropriate).
Audit and assess all of the touchpoints that comprise the member experience at your club, and then use customer input to determine which have the most impact and which are the most "off brand." This will enable you to develop strategies and plans for optimizing the priority touchpoints.
By taking a comprehensive and systematic brand-based approach to improving the club experience, you can ensure all of the pieces come together to establish and sustain brand differentiation and competitive advantage.
3. Focus your energies. In an effort to compete with well-resourced competitors, some club operators may be tempted to try to do everything. They try to offer lots of special classes, or all the latest equipment, or a whole host of services from personal trainers to massage therapists. But doing all of these things well is not possible for most clubs. There just isn't enough time, money or energy to do everything well, and poor execution in one area detracts from the entire customer experience.
Instead, real competitive advantage is created through focus. Choose the one or two things you can do better than anyone else and then over-deliver on them. Clubs can learn from other retail businesses, such as fast-food chain Chick-Fil-A, which intentionally offers a limited menu so that it can focus on making great chicken sandwiches.
Playing to your core strength focuses your resources on creating a brand-building customer experience.
4. Develop fans. A club's most enthusiastic members are not only more likely to stay with you long-term, but they also are your best promoters. So don't use a one-size-fits-all approach to engaging members.
Make a special effort to cultivate personal relationships and retain members through personalized service, ongoing two-way communication and offers of exclusive experiences to your best members, such as free passes to a trade show or testing new products first.
Encourage members to spread the word about your club. Connect with them through social networks so their connections learn about you virally. Design special offers like those used by apparel retailers, such as The Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch for their customers to forward onto their friends and family.
With budgets so limited these days, you can't afford to spend your precious marketing dollars on promoting your club, only to see them wasted when a member walks through the door. Optimizing the club experience needs to be a marketing top priority.

speaking of P,SD, L graph I can say that turbulence or "soft bubbles" created by dimpled bottom can effect a very limited thickness layer of the water under the board.
Maybe only 1/2 inch. On the ohter hand kiteboard front bounces +- 3 inches therefore pressure stabilisation would be limited. And I would say better feeling instead of more efficiency.
In order to shift high pressure area, as you talk, you must move the board at least in comparable velosity to the pressure wave velosity which is ~1300 ft/s in the air bubble and >5000 ft/s in the water.
Which is not true.
Less rocker boards tend to have "more efficiency" less drag on the flat water but you loose control on the choppy waters. So its not all about less drag and we can keep experimenting!
I will also make some experiments with bottom surface and post commets on summer.

Fish were the earliest vertebrates to appear on Earth, having evolved more than 500 million years ago. Fish typically have fins and are covered in scales, are cold-blooded and breathe using gills. Over-fishing, pollution, climate change, habitat destruction and invasive species present the greatest threats to the world's dwindling fish stocks.

Ålesund is probably one of Norway's prettiest towns and is built on the islands that guard an important approach to several western fjords, including the amazing Geirangerfjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From nearby Mount Aksla, you can look out over the town and surrounding areas and really appreciate the incredible beauty and phenomenal views - the mountains, the sea, the fjords and islands.
Ålesund's arresting Art Nouveau architecture is known far and wide for its myriad of turrets, spires and beautiful ornamentation. The town was rebuilt in its distinctive style following the catastrophic town fire in 1904. It has some fascinating museums, a lively theatre and music environment, as well as some excellent and innovative restaurants. A stroll through the city centre not only reveals fascinating architecture, but also a lively city atmosphere with cosy cafés and shops and the picturesque Brosundet, bordered by the converted wharf building, which is still visited by working fishing boats, together with yachts and high speed ferries. The town has 40,000 inhabitants and is the region's administrative and cultural centre, as well as an important hub for the local business community.
Ålesund's arresting Art Nouveau architecture is known far and wide for its myriad of turrets, spires and beautiful ornamentation. The architecture is a prominent feature of the cityscape and looks as though it is straight out of a fairytale book. A myriad of fjords, fishing villages, island gems and majestic mountains are waiting to charm you!
The town also has the highest ratio of shops to residents compared with any other in Norway, with a shopping centre - Moa - 10 km to the south and a couple of shopping arcades in the town centre itself. These make good places to visit in inclement weather. Moa attracts shoppers from far and wide. It is one of Norway's biggest shopping centres and the biggest between Bergen and Trondheim, while Kremmergaarden in Ålesund centre has a number of different shops and cafés including a government-run liquor store. In addition to its large shopping centres, Ålesund also boasts several exciting niche boutiques. Ingrid's glass workshop in Moloveien is a glass-blowing workshop in a charming location. The Fretex shop in Ålesund is definitely worth a visit too. A great place for vintage shopping. If you are looking for Norwegian handicrafts, then Husfliden should be your next stop. Jewellery designer Bjørg's stunning jewellery can be found in the Klondyke shop in Ålesund Storsenter. Here you will also find the usual retail chains as well as smaller, independent stores.
The shopping streets in Ålesund lie mainly around Kipervika, Skansen and Aspøya. Each area is unique in its own way. At Aspøya you will find traditional shops that sell hardware alongside specialist boutiques for design and interiors. Ålesunds pedestrian precinct is Kongens Gate, just around the corner from the Radisson Blu Hotel, Ålesund. Here you will find several cosy cafés and restaurants where you can enjoy a well-earned rest from your shopping exertions. Kipervika also has a selection of arts and crafts shops. Kiperviktorget, which sells flowers, fruit and different novelties is in the same area.
The idea is that you take something unique back home with you from Ålesund. Design,fashion, local arts and crafts in different materials; thre is something for every taste.
Ask for a tourist brochure at the tourist information desk, to make sure you don't miss any of the important destinations. In 1904, the entire town burnt down and was rebuilt in Art Nouveau style in the years that followed. Some of the most spectacular buildings are in the area around Brosundet, in the pedestrian precinct Kongens Gate, at Brunholmen and in Kirkegata. You could easily walk the cobbled streets from one end to the other in less than 20 minutes.
The Atlantic sea park is one of the largest and most distinctive salt water aquariums in Northern Europe, and in 2013 was voted the "Best Aquarium in Scandinavia" by www.barnsemester.se. The aquarium has been built into the spectacular coastal landscape at Tueneset, west of Ålesund, and the large natural tanks display the marine life along the Norwegian coast in the Atlantic and the deep Norwegian fjords.
You will be astounded by the activity in the largest of the tanks when the diver comes to feed the fish by hand during his diver show every day at 1 pm. At week-ends you can take part in feeding time in the open pools at 3 pm, and children can go crab fishing in the activity pool several times a day, all year round. There is a penguin park in the stunning outside area. The penguins are fed daily at 2:30 pm.
The Art Nouveau Centre in Ålesund documents the town's unique architectural history of the emergence of Art Nouveau after the fire in 1904. Watch the exciting and engaging story presented for you through a time machine that shows the town before and after the fire. Take a stroll through the many rooms in the listed building known as "Swan Pharmacy" and be mesmerised by the beautiful and authentic interior.
The many stages in Ålesund and Sunnmøre offer a wide range of entertainment, such as concerts, theatre and shows all year round. Enjoy a film at the cinema, visit an art exhibition or taste your way around the range of available cafés and restaurants. Discover the annual festivals such as the Ålesund Teaterfestival, Dei Nynorske Festspela, Ålesund Båtfestival, Midtsommerjazz, Jugendfest or Den Norske Matfestivalen.
A few hours away is Geiranger, the jewel of the natural wonders in Fjord Norway, with its majestic snow-capped mountain tops, wild and wonderful waterfalls, verdant mountains and deep blue fjord - yes, it really is like a fairy tale. Go on a fjord sightseeing tour to really experience it. Or follow the paths that climb straight through the many hairpin bends, up to Dalsnibba, Flydalsjuvet and Ørnesvingen. From here you get a fabulous view of one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.
Ålesund and its surrounding areas give you stunning nature and exciting activities for all ages and interests.
Once you have seen as much of Ålesund as you can and you have regained your appetite, try out the Lyst restaurant in Kongens gate and eat a bowl of their fantastic fish soup. Alternatively try the Let's Eat deli at Kiperviktorget, where they serve delicious sandwiches and salads. If you're at the Art Nouveau centre and the KUBE museum, why not enjoy a delicious cake and coffee in the café. Tante Bruun at the Ålesund Storsenter is another great alternative. The excellent food and cosy interior make you forget the slightly dull location. Lyspunktet is another popular destination. It serves light snacks, coffee and cakes. Note the fascinating lamp here.
If you're a regular coffee drinker, have your fill at Chocolatte in the Ålesund Storsenter or Invit in Apotekergata. Invit is also an interior design boutique and has a superb courtyard, which stays open all summer.
Ålesund boasts numerous exciting eateries if you want to treat yourself to a great dinner out. Radisson Blu Hotel's own restaurant Bulls Brygge serves a mix of food from the North Sea and the Mediterranean. Scandinavian viridity goes perfectly with the sun and aromas from the more southern climes and produces delicious dishes and an exquisite dining experience. Here, our excellent chefs stand out by using the freshest local seafood as well as dried and clip fish, game and vegetables, combining them with ingredients and flavours from the south to create an exciting and distinctive menu. The restaurant is on the first floor next to the beach terrace with a spectacular view of the islands and mountains and has an elegant, yet informal atmosphere.
The XL Diner is located in the heart of Ålesund, with a breathtaking view of Ålesundet, Molja and the sea beyond. The XL Diner places great emphasis on its a la carte restaurant, which enjoys an excellent reputation among visitors and local guests alike. Both local and national media have praised the XL Diner. This is one of the most coveted clipfish restaurants in Europe and attracts talented chefs to its kitchen. The chefs are mainly competition chefs from all over Europe. Good food is born out of inspiration. Much of this inspiration that you as a guest will see and taste, comes from spells as guest chefs from some of the best-known restaurants in Europe. Good food also comes from hard work and experience. The XL Diner is one of the city's most traditional eateries, having operated as a café since the 1960s. It is well worth a visit. The seafood restaurant Maki can be found in an old fishing village by the water and gets fresh seafood from the North Sea. Just like it did 100 years ago. The circle is complete. The fish however are no longer sent on to another place, but are now transformed into the most heavenly dishes by Maki's talented chefs. Maki takes pride in using the region's fish and seafood in new ways. Talented chefs dedicated to their craft create food to be enjoyed. The menu changes fortnightly.

A public hearing for the long-awaited Finksburg Corridor Plan is scheduled for Monday, beginning at 6 p.m at the Finksburg Library, 2265 Old Westminster Pike, Finksburg.
The plan is an update to the 1981 Finksburg Area and Environs Comprehensive Plan and focuses on traffic flow, the environmental resources and growth in the area. The update has been in the works for more than 10 years.
In April, the county's Planning and Zoning Commission accepted a draft of the Finksburg Corridor Plan for 60-day review. This draft includes a proposal to alter land-use designations for property at the northeast corner of routes 140 and 91 from a conservation zone to a zoning category allowing commercial uses.
Residents and business owners may provide testimony in support or in opposition to any aspect of the plan. Comments may be provided in person or written; written comments may be brought to the hearing or mailed to Andrea Gerhard, 225 N. Center Street, Westminster, MD 21157; or sent via email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mileage bungle 'clerical error'
Mileage bungle 'clerical error' – Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner has blamed a clerical error after a new expenses bungle has come to light.
Clive Grunshaw, who was investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission over discrepancies in his claims as a county councillor, has revealed he has now paid back an undisclosed sum after receiving, in error, mileage expenses at a higher rate than he was entitled to.
It is not known how much has been overclaimed or how long he had been receiving them but today the former Labour county councillor accused critics of running a 'smear' campaign against him.
He said: "I deplore the latest attempts to smear me over allegations relating to my expenses. For the record, expense claims are collated by a senior member of my staff who completes the form on my behalf.
"I do check them for accuracy for the mileage – which is not in dispute.
"Recently, however, I was informed of a clerical error, not made by me and of which I was entirely unaware, which has resulted in an overpayment. I immediately asked for this to be rectified."
He continued: "That is the full extent of this matter.
"Any suggestions to the contrary are blatant lies and misinformation."
The latest revelation comes just days after the announcement of the departure of Mr Grunshaw's £120,000-a-year chief executive Miranda Carruthers-Watt last week. Mr Grunshaw has announced he will review his support arrangements, which involve a deputy PCC, three assistant PCCs and 12 other staff.

TAMPA, Fla. - As party tents crop up all over the Tampa Bay area, Republicans are grappling with a serious question: How can they yet again become the big-tent party the GOP likely needs to be to capture the Senate and White House?
Recruiting more minority candidates to run for office is a start - a ninth black GOP Congressional candidate could be nominated tonight - but the issue of minority and female voter outreach extends much further than just the demographics of who appears on the ballot.
A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll, taken about a week before the convention, shows that Mitt Romney has zero percent support from black voters, trails President Barack Obama by 10 points among women, is being beaten 2-to-1 among Latinos and lags 11 points behind the president with voters under 35.
"We've never done well with those groups, but think about who this economic downturn has affected the most: blacks, Hispanics, young people," Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters at a lunch Monday. "I think it's important for our party, we've got to reach out. And that means showing up in their neighborhoods. It's a tall order, but I think it can be done."
Boehner seemed to express skepticism that those sorts of efforts could be made this cycle, though he declined to say so specifically. Instead, he noted that Republicans can begin their effort to woo women and minorities by focusing on jobs and the economy.
"Fifty-percent of college graduates are unemployed or underemployed. And I think our economic message in this election cycle will help us recruit more of those groups that we wouldn't have otherwise," Boehner said. "This election is about economics. These groups have been hit the hardest. They might not come out and vote for our candidate, but I guarantee you, they're not going to come out and vote for the president either."
The trouble so far for Republicans, however, is inherent in the fact that Boehner even needed to address such a question. Between the daunting polling numbers and the controversial remarks about "legitimate rape" made earlier this month by Rep. Todd Akin, the party's Senate nominee in Missouri, the media have paid little attention to Republican efforts to focus on the economy.
Perhaps the first step for Republicans in winning back non-white male voters is admitting they have a problem. And it's an admission that's being made by more and more Republicans here, which is striking merely two years after a wave election in which the GOP didn't need to do much outreach beyond its conservative base.
"I'm very nervous about how divided we are as a country, very nervous about how we're dividing about micro-targeting and boxing everybody in. I want to see the country as a whole. I think we're stronger that way," House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) said. "I come from California, which is much more diverse than the rest of [traditionally Republican states]. I realize ... that within the Republican Party that you have to expand, from the Asian population to Hispanic, we've got places to grow."
McCarthy pointed to the three "first-generation" Republican candidates running now in California in "tough races" as progress for the party, but he differed with Boehner's analysis about widening the base. The No. 3 Republican in the House put the onus on Obama, claiming he is exploiting women and minorities for political gain.
"He's looking at three gaps: women, Hispanic and youth. Instead of good policy, it's on politics. He tries to claim everything is a war on women because 53 percent of the electorate in a presidential race happens to be women," McCarthy said.
The Romney campaign's push for female voters starts tonight with Romney's wife, Ann, and her speech to the convention hall here, which will focus on unity, according to excepts released by his campaign.
"I want to talk not about what divides us, but what holds us together as an American family," Romney is slated to say. "I want to talk to you tonight about that one great thing that unites us, that one thing that brings us our greatest joy when times are good, and the deepest solace in our dark hours. Tonight I want to talk to you about love."

Hurricanes top Predators for fourth straight winby Kurt Dusterberg
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Carolina Hurricanes forward Jeff Skinner isn't one to take much personal credit after contributing to a win.
So when he scored the game-winner late in the third period to lift the Hurricanes to a 2-1 victory against the Nashville Predators at PNC Arena on Sunday night, he was quick to deflect the praise.
"I just keep trying to hit the net," said Skinner, whose blast from the right faceoff circle beat Nashville goaltender Carter Hutton with 3:31 remaining. "(Tuomo) Ruutu made a great pass to me and I just tried to get it through to the net. I think it went through their D-man's legs. Sometimes that's just the way it goes."
Maybe it's just way it goes, but that doesn't entirely explain Skinner's good fortune lately. He has 16 goals in his past 16 games, and 20 in 32 games overall. With the Olympics a month away, he has certainly raised his profile for consideration on the Canadian team.
Even then, Skinner is reluctant to think of his personal goals, but he nearly let his enthusiasm slip out.
"It will be cool to watch," he said, "but hopefully, I mean, right now, we're just trying to keep this thing going.
"It's not really in my control. I can't really worry about it too much. It's going to be what it's going to be. They're going to have a great team whoever plays on it."
Skinner's coach is also high on the 21-year-old's Olympic chances.
"As his coach, I'd like to push for him," Carolina coach Kirk Muller said. "The country is fortunate to have a lot of good forwards, but it really comes down to he's a dynamic player. He's an opportunist. If they're looking for a player to add like that, he's pretty darn hot."
The Hurricanes and Predators played a grinding game with very little offensive flow.
Carolina scored at 4:28 of the first period when Alexander Semin gathered a loose puck behind the net and flipped it off the back of Hutton and into the net.
The Hurricanes nursed the lead until Patric Hornqvist tied the game at 6:46 of the third period. Hornqvist took Mike Fisher's pass at the right post and swept the puck in from a tight angle.
Then late in the period, Ruutu earned his second assist of the night by setting up Skinner. The Hurricanes (18-16-9) now have a season-high four-game win streak.
"It's just being consistent in our game," said Skinner, who was sporting a fat lip after taking a puck to the face in the second period. "We've been consistent for 60 minutes. And (Anton) Khudobin has played real well. He's made some huge stops for us. That's been a big part of it too."
Khudobin stopped 31 shots to run his record to 5-0-0. He has started three straight after missing 32 games with an ankle injury. The time on the sidelines was beginning to take its toll.
"I couldn't wait to start playing," Khudobin said. "I was buying Legos to at least kill some time."
The height of his boredom came when he put in a marathon session.
"I built a truck with a remote controller," he said with a smile. "It took me 12 hours."
"(Khudobin) should be fresh, and we want to push from now until the Olympic break," Muller said. "We just took a chance. It's three in four nights for him, but he's been playing well."
The Predators finished a three-game road trip with an 0-1-2 mark.
"They are disappointed," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "They put a lot into it. We should have had five out of six points on this trip. We come back with two and that's discouraging."
Trotz was not so charitable is his assessment of Hutton's play on Skinner's game-winner.
"You have to save those," he said. "That was not much of a shot at all. The guys have a lot of character and we battle back every game and put ourselves in the position to get points, so we just need a save."
Carolina played without captain Eric Staal, who suffered a lower-body injury Saturday night against the New York Islanders. Muller expects Staal to be out five or six days.
Staal had not missed a game since Feb. 26, 2011, snapping his streak of 191 consecutive games played.

Berlin-based clothing brand Ucon has teamed up with 8bar bikes and together they present the "Federleicht" (German for feather light) bike collaboration. 8bar creates custom bikes, with no bike ever being the same as the one before. Furthermore local artist Toons was involved to translate the feather theme onto the bike. The bike frame was hand-painted by the artist. Lastly illustrator and product designer Stulle was brought on board to customize the bike saddle, foot straps and handlebar. Unfortunately the beautiful bike that came out from this project is not going on sale, but Ucon produced a T-shirt and a cap matching the theme, which you can now get here.

New Student Orientation snapshots
A look back, from move-in day to the New Student Forum
The sun doesn't set on New Student Orientation until the 25th annual Boston Harbor Cruise on Sunday night, but now that classes are in session, BrandeisNOW is taking a look back at some of the highlights so far, including the New Student BBQ, the Beauty, Balance, and Challenge of Diversity dialogue, the Philip and Helen Brecher New Student Book Forum featuring author Junot Diaz, and the Magic Carpet Ride event on the Great Lawn.
Orientation programs help new students discover the opportunities available to them at Brandeis. The Orientation Core Committee, a group of six students advised by the Department of Orientation and First-Year Programs, works throughout the spring and the summer to plan a comprehensive program that addresses the needs of new students, both academically and socially.

Armstrong also admitted that there are people who are aware of the full facts of his doping history.
The 41-year-old Texan has confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs during all seven of his Tour de France victories.
He was stripped of all results from August 1, 1998 and banned from sport for life.
Armstrong was competing in triathlons, mountain bike events and marathons before he was sanctioned and believes he deserves that opportunity in the future, suggesting a life ban is not right.
He told Oprah Winfrey in the second part of their television interview: "I can't lie to you. I'd love the opportunity to be able to compete, but that isn't the reason that I'm doing this.
"Frankly, this might not be the most popular answer, but I think I deserve it (to be able to compete again).
"I deserve to be punished. I'm not sure that I deserve a death penalty."
Eleven of Armstrong's former team-mates provided evidence against him in exchange for six-month suspensions.
He added: "If you look at the situation, if you look at that culture, you look at the sport, you see the punishments. I could go back to that time ... you're trading my story for a six-month suspension. That's what people got. What everybody got.
"I got a death penalty. I'm not saying that that's unfair, necessarily, but I'm saying it's different."
After years of denials, Armstrong confirmed that during his record run, from 1999 to 2005, he used blood-boosting agent EPO, blood doping, testosterone, cortisone and human growth hormone.
Armstrong denied doping during his comeback from retirement in 2009, when he finished third in the Tour, and 2010 and refuted suggestions he paid off cycling's world governing body, the UCI, to cover up a positive test in 2001.
In hindsight he wishes he had co-operated with the United States Anti-Doping Agency investigation which proved his downfall. Co-operation could have meant a lesser penalty.
Armstrong's long-time sponsors each deserted him in quick succession following the publication of the USADA report, but the most challenging moment was when his own Lance Armstrong Foundation, the charity known now as Livestrong, distanced itself from him.
"The foundation is like my sixth child and to make that decision, and to step aside, was big," said Armstrong, who expressed his wish the charity can thrive without being associated with him.
"I wouldn't at all say [I was] forced out, told to leave. I was aware of the pressure.
"It was the best thing for our organisation, but it hurt like hell. That was the lowest [moment]."
Asked if he feels disgraced, Armstrong said: "Of course, but I also feel humbled. I feel ashamed. This is ugly stuff.
"It's a process. And I think we're at the beginning of the process."
Armstrong confirmed he has been undergoing therapy to deal with his demons.
His competitive desire remains, though. Asked whether he believes his life ban should be overturned, he said: "Selfishly, yes. But realistically I don't think that's going to happen. And I have to live with that."
Winfrey asked Armstrong "Did anyone know the whole truth?" He replied "Yeah," but there was no follow-up question to ascertain who.
Armstrong says he returned to cycling in 2009 and 2010 having agreed not to use performance-enhancing drugs again, yet evidence in the USADA report points to the contrary. He maintains the last time he doped was during his 2005 Tour de France win.
Armstrong was emotional when discussing his 13-year-old son Luke, with tears welling up in his eyes and hesitated in giving answers, his voice croaking.
He had discovered Luke was defending him at school and had to address the matter.
Armstrong said: "That's when I knew I had to tell him. He'd never asked me. He'd never said 'Dad, is this true?' He trusted me. He heard about it in the hallways.
"I said 'Don't defend me anymore'. I said 'If anyone says anything to you, do not defend me. Just say my dad said he was sorry'.
"He said 'look, I love you, you're my dad, this won't change that'.
"Thank God he's more like Kristin (Armstrong's first wife and Luke's mother)."
The Oprah Winfrey Network insisted Armstrong did not receive a fee for the interview and was not offered one.
Yet Armstrong admitted money is a concern after his sponsors departed. His admission has also exposed him to numerous lawsuits.
"I've lost all future income," he said.
"I don't like thinking about it, but that was a 75million-dollar day. Gone. And probably never coming back."
Armstrong denied claims he attempted to make a payment to USADA.
He said: "I had no knowledge of that, but I've asked around. I think the claim was 250,000 dollars. That's a lot of money. I would know. That is not true."

I like this Johnny Newman kid. And this Johnny Newman kid likes Bob Dylan.
I like this Johnny Newman kid. And this Johnny Newman kid likes Bob Dylan.
To say that the specter of Robert Zimmerman hangs over Newman is to state the obvious; which idealistic young white troubadour with an acoustic guitar isn�t influenced by Dylan? But this guy must eat, breathe and sleep Bob. It�s as if Village-era Dylan was photocopied endlessly like so many punk flyers and plopped into the Columbus house-show scene.
Not that Newman doesn�t have anything original to offer. He brought a lot to the table last Thursday at Till�s gallery space, where his thoughtful balladry closed out a sparsely attended evening of spoken word.
Intimate is a good fit for this guy. He noted between songs how much he enjoyed performing without a mic, and indeed his music is geared for tight spaces like living rooms, basements, galleries and dives, places where communal connection seems most attainable and where the hum of the crowd won�t drown out delicate guitar plucking.
Finger-picking was Newman�s weapon of choice; his parts were mostly simple patterns built from gorgeous, gleaming chords. More impressive was his mastery of dynamics. He used volume artfully, bringing his parts in and out of earshot. He kept me tuned in without resorting to gimmickry, and when he finally did strum, it felt like powerful release.
As for Newman�s singing, he�s not exactly an angel, but he�s got the pipes to get by. The aforementioned Dylan affectation is strong, but filtered through a few decades of punk bands and the slew of fellow indie-folks worshipping at the altar of Neutral Milk Hotel. He deployed the harmonica now and then but did not abuse it.
The whole Dylan thing comes through in the lyrics too, in good ways (the strikingly simple imagery of ��Cause when you shut your eyes, your mother cries�) and bad (no one needs more metaphors about characters from the deck of cards). And his signature song �The Authors� rang true when he proclaimed, �We are the authors of so much pain.�
On balance, this was exciting work from an ambitious young songwriter. Watching him find his own voice promises to be a pleasure.

Hibbett Sports (NASDAQ:HIBB) recorded a 34% increase in its second-quarter profit amid stronger sales and the opening of new stores.
Continue Reading Below
But the sporting goods retailer added to a chorus of concern in the industry over consumer spending, lowering its full-year outlook to per-share earnings of $2.65 to $2.77. The company previously expected earnings of $2.85 to $3.05 a share, while analysts most recently projected $2.94.
Hibbett also lowered its estimate for same-store sales growth to an increase in the low single-digits versus a prior view of the low to mid single-digits.
Shares tumbled 8.9% to $53.25 in mid-morning trading Friday. As of Thursday's close, the stock was up 11% on the year.
The company is the latest in a long list of retailers that have dimmed their guidance due to economic concerns. Rival Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS) said earlier this week it expects consumers to remain "relatively cautious," and retailers Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Target (NYSE:TGT) echoed similar sentiments when they reported earnings this month.
"We delivered a solid increase in earnings for the second quarter. Comparable store sales were softer than planned due to a challenging economic environment," Hibbett's President and Chief Executive Jeff Rosenthal said in a statement. "However, we are encouraged by a strong start to the third quarter."
Rosenthal pointed to the strong performance of new stores. Hibbett opened 17 new locations in the latest period and closed four underperforming ones, bringing its store count to 892 in 31 states. For fiscal 2014, the company plans to open between 70 and 75 stores, expand 18 and close 15 to 20.
Hibbett, which focuses on smaller markets with less competition, has seen its profits improve the last three years. The company operates stores primarily in the South, Southwest, mid-Atlantic and Midwest.
In the latest quarter, Hibbett logged a profit of $10.5 million versus a year-ago profit of $7.9 million. On a per-share basis, earnings rose to 40 cents from 30 cents. The results came in slightly ahead of Wall Street estimates of 39 cents.
Sales climbed 13% to $186.2 million, falling in-line with expectations. Same-store sales were up 0.3% on a calendar basis.
Gross margin widened to 34.3% from 34.2%, despite a 12% increase in input, distribution center and store occupancy costs.

An Oceanside woman who is a former nurse at Franklin Hospital in Valley Stream was awarded nearly $5 million in civil damages on Sept. 9 in a case against a former psychiatric patient who beat her with a chair leg three years ago at the hospital, leaving her blind in one eye and both physically and mentally disabled.
State Supreme Court Justice Randy Sue Marber set the compensation for past and future health care expenses and wages for Marie Sweeney from Donte Oakes, who is serving an 11-year sentence in an upstate prison for the assault. Marber reached her decision after a one-day inquest in Mineola because Oakes did not respond to a lawsuit.
Sweeney, 56, said she understands that she will most likely never collect any money from Oakes, who pleaded guilty to the assault. "I'm never going to see a penny," she told the Herald this week. "This was never about the money, but about making sure that something like this never happens again. I feel bad about [Oakes], but the hospital didn't do the right thing. This is about what I lost. I'm never going to get back my 28-year career. I have headaches and shoulder aches and am blind in my left eye. I'm extremely depressed, and cannot ever again work in a stressful situation."
On Sept. 10, 2010, Oakes interrupted a group therapy session led by Sweeney. Using a chair leg, he struck her repeatedly, fracturing her facial bones, rupturing a vertebrae disk and causing other trauma.
"This transformed someone who was a very vibrant, very active woman," said Sweeney's attorney, Carol Schlitt. "She has suffered greatly."
Oakes broke the leg off a heavy piece of furniture and put it under his shirt, Sweeney said. "He walked right by the nurse's station with the furniture leg," she said. "Even though he had assaulted three other staff members two weeks before, nobody challenged him; nobody gave him a second glance. He opened the door and then closed it behind him. My back was to him, and he started swinging the leg like a baseball bat hitting a ball. He just kept hitting me, and I became semiconscious.

text: A few years ago, I took a break from work, burned out and ravished. I got 3 months off and I went to the south of Spain, Granada, to repair myself.One sunny afternoon, I found myself atop a hill in Granada, Spain looking at the Al-hambra . A blonde haired Greek God type was painting the scene with big flourishes. I walked over to him, smiled and asked where I could buy paint supplies and then felt stupid. He asked me patronizingly (as was his nature) if I painted. I said, I've never done it in my life but I'm interested to try. He gave me quick and unintelligible directions to the store which I forgot even before I returned to my rock seat.A couple of weeks later , I was walking through a side street and there it was. The Art shop. I walked in sheepishly and was confronted by a teenage girl speaking in spanish at such a speed, that the only thing I wondered about was how was she breathing. So I just pointed at a box set of paint which was on sale, grabbed a book and a big brush, paid and rushed out.I returned that evening to the mountain and found the God still flying. I found a place so as not to disturb his eminence and started fearlessly to thrash paint on my paper. After an hour or so, I felt someone watching and lo and behold, his blonde highness was peering over my shoulder.I smiled, expecting gifts of encouragement. He said, for the first time politely,( like most nasty people do when they want something.) 'could you give me the paint, I really need it' were his exact words.I looked at him, the smile slowly disappearing from my face and then after what seemed like ages replied 'give me 5 minutes to think about it'. He shrugged and walked back to his throne. After 2 minutes of anger, rejection, uselessness, pain , anguish I suddenly thought NO, I really enjoyed that one hour, I don't even care if the painting is good or not. I walked over and said, 'sorry I'm keeping them'. I was up on that hill a lot after that, and always with my paint book. We never made friends, the Greek God and I. But I can fairly say, 'He would be proud of me'.

ya looks like 12 went up today on Mazui's site im just starting on season 2 myself right now cant wait to get tot he end. I had originally intended to just d.load and watch the frostii subs since theyre generally regarded as pretty good. But i actually watched some of the mazui epps i had d.loaded at first back to back with the frostii ones, and i think i may like the mazui ones better o_O frostii seems to try to reword stuff too much and you lose the point of the scene in some instances (like the first episode where theyre talking at the pub after being shown their room, i had no idea what they were talking about in the frostii subs but the mazui one made it a lot clearer)
since frostiis so far behind and im liking the show so much i think i will d.load the rest of mazui to check it out. Whats your opinion on their subs guys? id think a speedsubber would be worse than something like frostii but from the first couple epps i saw that wasn't really the case.. wondering if i shoudl just delete the frostiis and stick with mazui. The video quality does seem better with frostii though
grr i was hoping theyd be a little slower now i gotta zip through over 3/4 of the series to see how this ends >_<
13 epps (with the OAV) is just not enough for this series. The first season ended too abruptly for my taste, and the novels seem to have a lot of info in them. I really wish they had been given 24 epp seasons =(

just an ordinary alien...
I hope there'll be a third season, but i fear, we must wait it to the next year...
Anyway Mazui sub's was good, and thanks them to their work!
The end was good, but Abe needs some Horo-punch. Serious Horo-punch.

Anyway i really loved that last episode, especially the last five minutes or so. Also the last scene with the two walking out of the village was a nice send off, especially with those outstanding visuals.
Third season please.

And so my final review for season 2 of Spice and Wolf comes up...
Are the ups and downs of season 2, which in certain respects is arguably less stellar than season 1, worth the final 5 minutes of the finale?
You damn well better believe it!
Lawrence may just have been cheated and bled dry for whatever he could have earned in this town that would have granted him the resources to open his own shop, but in return he went away with some far greater, far more rewarding than a stone store and a bag of coins. There is of course no way to be apologetic for what Abe did which is tantamount to stealing anyway, but she did have a point: doing everything, whatever it takes, to get what you are looking for. Even to the point where society calls you greedy, immoral and... well evil. She was greedy for money that is almost pathological, but she did not question nor did she waver. She knew what she wanted and did what she felt was needed to accomplish it. By fair of foul she got it.
"I'm hoping."
Mt first run through the episode I really didn't get what she meant. I started to think back about what she said and what Lawrence had been doing up to this point in season 2; the pyrite fiasco most importantly. I re-evaluated Abe's intentions and Lawrence's actions during the moments when it was oh so clear that he may lose Horo. That was when I think I realized what Abe meant:
Hoping that, in the end, it was all worth it to get what one is looking for.
Lawrence understood it by then. Finding out what he really wants, and doing whatever it takes to find it and keep it, even if it entails sacrifice, loss and potentially financial ruin. Given his circumstances in episode 12 I personally don't think he lost much, since the money was pretty much what he got for selling Horo, and by getting the rights to the inn in exchange for the gold Abe took in the end it all balanced itself out. Sort of. However he now owned the inn, he could have made it his own store, but he didn't. He traded the property for Horo back.
When I think about it now, this entire episode sums up what season 2 was all about: Lawrence growing and figuring out what it is, truly, that is most important to him. He says it is Horo but it is as if he was still unsure about it. He doesn't really have confidence in this decision considering a rather strained trust and air between them in the likes I haven't seen since season 1. He could never really tell Horo how or what he felt, because even then he was still unsure. Nearing the end of this episode however, despite whatever reservations you have about the character, Abe hit the nail on the head, right smack and center.
Because Lawrence was also hoping. Hoping that despite Horo's feelings and his dream of being a shop owner coming into conflict with his desire to travel with her, he'd find a way to continue the journey of a lifetime. Before all of this he was unsure and indecisive, the complete opposite of how he deals in commerce, which is really not all that unusual personally. He was always worried of striking the balance between his mercantile lifestyle and his relationship with Horo. He was also worried of his desire to travel with her conflicting with his desire to open his own shop.
He was hoping to achieve all of them, but only now did he really realize that the same fact of commerce applies to life and relationships: You can't have everything, you have to make a choice. Economics had always revolved around the fact that goods are limited, you can't have everything, so things are obtained by the highest bidder willing to make the greatest sacrifice to gain what they want and/or need. The same thing applied to his own life but he didn't realize it, much to his irony. This is why, with this episode, he decided to choose.
So he went back to the trading company, full of the confidence and the determination that characterized him back in season 1. He traded it all in for Horo. Why? Because he decided to choose his dream.
He chose Horo.
So now that I've finally realized that the second season is over and I have to wait an entire fucking year for season 3, I'm going to roll myself into a fetal position and cry myself to sleep, eagerly awaiting the day I may travel with these two once again.

Just liked how everything came together regarding the church, Abe, and the salt. That girl is just insanely reckless. Glad Lawrence has decided through this second season what the important things are. Not bad using the inn to get Horo back. Did pretty well against Abe except letting his guard down too much cost him.
Still that confession at the end made the whole season worth while. Finally got it clearly out there how he felt and took care of the whole seperating now issue. Of course they are still in a rioting city which is oddly safer than I had imagined .

You don't mention, however, the insanely convoluted ways that they choose to involve Horo in Lawrence's crazy dealings. Or the fact that pretty much all the drama would be deflated with some more communication between Horo and Lawrence (the drama at the end of the pyrite arc falls apart if Horo had talked). Oh, and the standard anime trapping of brickwall male lead paired with tsundere female.
I can predict right now without having read the novel that S3 will feature even more insane and unlikely ways for Lawrence's personal and economic intrerests to combine in an effort to center the drama around the relationship with Horo.
What I will say for the show, is that it has some amazingly well-written, aptly placed and subtle dialogue, which I'm sure is pulled straight from the novel. Season 2 was actually more enjoyable for me than the first, due to these character interactions. Oh, and the OP is probably the best of the year.
6/10, enjoyable watch if you can forgive the flaws and sit back for the ride.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – At the conclusion of the 2013 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Track and Field Championships at Springfield College on Saturday, freshman Michael Kaba (Jackson, N.J.) was named the NEWMAC Rookie of the Year for his performances at the meet. This is the second year in a row that an MIT athlete has received the award.
Kaba started the day off with a second place finish in the 110 High Hurdles with a new MIT freshman record of 14.94 and went on to win the 400m Hurdles with a time of 53.63, earning the NEWMAC meet record and another MIT freshman record. He was also part of the winning 4x100 relay that earned a season-best time of 42.52.
All-Conference accolades were handed out at the championships to those who finished in first and second place in each event. Kaba was named to the First Team for the relay and the 400m Hurdles, and the Second Team for the 110 High Hurdles. MIT collected a total of 31 All-Conference nods (17 for the men, 14 for the women) en route to defending their NEWMAC titles. The men claimed their 14th consecutive win, while the women captured their fifth straight title.
The Engineers will continue their season at the New England Division III Championships that will be held at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, on Friday and Saturday, May 3-4.

Hey everyone,
I started reading Rebbecca's website at the beginning of last week. Since then I have tried to become more consistent with doing my reality checks and writing down my dreams when I can recall them. So far I have experimented with the WILD technique a couple times. Once was around 4pm when I went for a nap. This was the first time I have ever experienced what I think was a deeper hypnagogic state. I felt my breathes get deeper and a numbness started around my body and shapes and a purply darkness surrounded my vision. This surprised me and I got out of it right away. I feel this was a good step though. This morning I woke up around 6 hours after going to sleep and recalled my dreams then got alert for 20 mins or so. Upon returning to bed I relaxed and returned to this same state I encountered in my nap. I can daydream in this state and can loose awareness of my body if I get really lost in the daydream but im not sure where im supposed to go from here, assuming that this state im getting into is a step in the right direction. I'm not sure how to loose my awareness of my body and step into the dream while still knowing im dreaming..
Sorry for the big explanation I thought maybe some background my help with my situation
Any replies are appreciated,
Edit: Forgot to say I never got to sleep after waking up this morning after attempting the WILD technique.

Re: Trouble with WILD Technique
Nearly the same thing happened to me. I only learned about lucid dreaming 4 or 5 days ago, but I became incredibly interested so I researched all about it. Then last night I was listening to music to fall asleep, and as soon as the song changed, I got this sudden vibrating and tingling sensation all over me, and it felt as if someone had draped a dark, heavy blanket over me that brought me into an intense hypnagogic state. I decided to wait a little bit to see what would happen because I curious, and soon enough, I had a floating feeling as if my bed wasn't under me. A numbing sensation was creeping through my toes, but my heart started beating uncontrollably so I shook myself out of it. Unlike you, I pulled myself out of it because I was scared, not surprised(I've heard disturbing stories about sleep paralysis and OBEs, which are similar to lucid dreams). I think that if you catch yourself daydreaming, pull yourself back into focus and work on visualizing your lucid dream. I'm not sure either how to ignore your body and step into the dream, but if you concentrate on the lucid dream ahead of you, you might inadvertently step into it. Sorry if this was no help because I'm a complete newbie, but I'll see if I can find any info from other experienced dreamers.
Hi! I'm Elisa and I'm 15. I'm completely new to lucid dreaming, which I had never heard of before, so now I'm doing everything possible to learn how to lucid dream. I would love any helpful tips or pointers from people, so thanks.
Re: Trouble with WILD Technique
Keep on with what you are doing and the dream will come to you. Odds are you have been there already and did not know it. The transition can be instant and without any real signs at times.
Also WILD is very hard at first and can be very frustrating so try all sorts and dont get hung up on one way to induce dreams

Who are you I asked, the reply "dont be silly, we are your daughers" many years before they were born
Re: Trouble with WILD Technique
Thanks Eliza for the reply! The way you described the Hypnagogic State sounded exactly the way I experienced it! I'm gonna try to take it further the next time. And I don't think you need to worry about the sleep paralysis and what not. It is a frightening concept but as lucid dream practices we just have to accept it as a possibility and continue with our lucid goals. I think the benefits far outweigh the negatives! As for the hypnagogic state I gotta do what Pete said and go with the flow and recognize that the transition is sort of sudden. Thanks both of you for your replies!

Its good if someone starts daydreaming, it shows they are started to create a dream. If one can keep flowing with the daydream without loosing conscious awareness, they will find themselves in a LD. One only needs to pull back out of the daydreaming if one is starting to blank out and completely loose their waking awareness at times eg at risk of going into a non LD state. There is a fine balance between the two.
The only thing to fear is the fear itself

China Gleefully Uses UK Desire For Censorship To Validate Its Own Censorship
from the who-didn't-see-that-coming? dept
Apparently the rioters used social media, like Twitter, Facebook and the Blackberry messenger system and Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday he's looking at banning potential troublemakers from using the online services.In other words, "look, the UK is doing the same thing we are." You can argue how this is "different" all you want, and it won't change a thing. Internet censorship like what's being proposed in the UK only serves to make China more convinced that its own repressive censorship is the same sort of "balance." The UK government has now completely lost any moral high ground in arguing against internet censorship.
The British government, once an ardent advocate of absolute Internet freedom, has thus made a U-turn over its stance towards web-monitoring.
Communications tools such as Facebook and cellphones also played a delicate role in the massive social upheaval earlier this year in north Africa and neighboring west Asian countries, whose governments then imposed targeted censorship over message flows on the Internet.
In a speech delivered in Kuwait in February, the British prime minister, however, argued that freedom of expression should be respected "in Tahrir Square as much as Trafalgar Square."
Learning a hard lesson from bitter experience, the British government eventually recognized that a balance needs to be struck between freedom and the monitoring of social media tools.

This also has to be taken in account.
But yes Le Rodent seems to most deserving MVP, chard has worse stats and LOW didn't qualify,
so his contribution is smaller in every way.
Believe me, I wish I could have had the luxury of using a 35 man roster. Unfortunately we only had 15ish active players for most of the league with 5 being freemium or only limited participation. Saying he had worse stats at 17-7 vs 18-10 is a bit of a stretch in my opinion. And before we get too testy about qualifications, lets not forget that we were only 1 game away from being in 2nd place, beating and/or tying all the clans that finished ahead of us. But all in all, we can argue all day about these semantics, so we'll see what the TO's decide.

FARMINGTON — Dust will soon fly as construction begins on a new town court facility. This follows a unanimous Town Board vote Tuesday, Aug. 13, which awarded four major contracts in the amount of $1,153,712.
Construction is set to begin on Friday, Aug. 30.
While the new structure will include many state-of-the-art safety features, it will not have the much-debated drive-up court clerk window some had hoped for.
Councilmen were divided on the optional window that would have added another $3,000 to the bids, and $6,000 to the total project cost. In the end it was voted down 3-2.
"I've been the biggest proponent of the drive-up window as we've gone along," said Farmington Justice Morris Lew, who was present for Tuesday's meeting. "I see it as a security advantage for our court clerks. Very often a defendant will come up to the court clerk's window and they're either already angry or they become angry when they learn what their fine will be."
Farmington resident and former court clerk Leslie O'Malley said there have been times she has felt nervous and uncomfortable when serving someone who was angry or argumentative.
"No one ever threatened me," she said, "but there are times when you do feel tense — when someone is upset about something. I felt that it was important to have the outside drive-up window, and I'm sorry that the Town Board did not agree, but that's democracy."
Lew said the drive-up window would have been a security measure, not a convenience.
"For me it's more about defusing potential problems," said Lew. "Instead of the person being right there in the building, able to kick the walls, able to smash the glass — instead of taking their anger out on the taxpayer's facility that has already been paid for — they have to take it out on their own car first. For $6,000 on a $1.1 million project, to me it was a good investment."
Supervisor Ted Fafinski, in favor of the window initially, spoke out strongly against it Tuesday.
"The thing that turned me," Fafinski said, "was those residents who said, 'Wait a minute — why are you spending $6,000 of our money to make it easier for someone who was speeding to pay their ticket?' I found that hard to argue with."
Safety features designed into the structure will include bulletproof glass, bullet-resistant brick, a concrete-walled clerk's office, steel-reinforced doors, and a safe room.
"I'm much happier that they decided to build the building than I am unhappy that they didn't put the drive-up window in," said Lew. "At the end of the day we are installing that bullet-proof glass, and we don't have that now."
Judge John Gligora also voiced his gratitude to "the committee who put all this together and made this a safe, secure facility."
The new Hook Road facility will be adjacent to the town's newly completed $3.9 million highway complex. Both are being funded through New York State Video Lottery Terminal Impact Aid.
Clyde-based Nicoletta Building Contractors Inc. was named general contractor for the project with a bid of $730,000. Concord Electric Corporation in Rochester will provide electrical services at a cost of $120,800. Webster-based Nairy Mechanical LLC will provide plumbing services for $48,212. Amering & Johnston Inc. in Shortsville will install heating, ventilation and air conditioning for $254,700. Currently there is a $1,193,994.86 balance in the capital budget account, enough to cover the $1,153,712 in bids.
Town Court facility moves ahead

How To Clean a Humidifier
Humidifiers are a godsend during dry winter months. They not only help eliminate dry skin, but also reduce air born illnesses. But do you know how often you should be cleaning yours — or how to go about it? It's easier than you think, check out the details after the jump!
What You Need
- Humidifier
- White vinegar
- Tap water
- Bottle brush (if required)
- Bleach or tea tree oil (optional)
1. Break It Down: After pouring out any remaining water in tank, take apart your humidifier and lay the pieces out in front of you. Most humidifiers will have a lock or catch to remove a piece over the heating element, so if it feels like it should break down a little more, chances are it will.You'll quickly see which areas need attention.
Tip: This is a general guide, but you should always refer to your manual first, before starting to break it down and clean.
2. Add Vinegar: Vinegar is your best friend when it comes to humidifiers. It eliminates the need for bleach (though some still like knowing their unit is extra clean and add a teaspoon or so to the following mixes) and cleans things on the cheap. Add vinegar to two separate places: the water tank and base.
Tip: If you have removable pieces, place them separately in a bowl and soak with vinegar to help eliminate deposits. Or, check your manual to see if they can go straight in the dishwasher!
3. Brush If Needed: Some humidifers, like this one, come with its own brush for cleaning. Otherwise, use a bottle brush to dislodge any deposits. If the vinegar does its job, you shouldn't need to use anything else besides the brush.
4. Rinse: Once you are satisfied with the level of clean, rinse all vinegar from the bottom and the tank with tap water. Shake to dislodge any remaining deposits and to rinse out the lovely smell. It might take a few fills and shakes to get rid of all the smell. Once each piece air dries fully, the vinegar smell should dissipate.
Tip: You might have to do more than one vinegar soak for tough spots. If that doesn't work, change your vinegar out. If your build up is "fizzing" then the vinegar is doing its job of breaking the gunk down and tearing it away. If it's not fizzing, changing out your vinegar can be more effective than using sharp objects to scrape it away.
5. Maintenance: Weekly cleaning should only involve a quick swish and shake, but once a month it doesn't hurt to go through this whole process again.

Sanaa: Two gunmen on a motorbike shot and killed an intelligence officer in southeastern Yemen on Saturday, security officials said.
The officials said that the officer, Mutea Baqutian, was on his way to work in Mukalla, capital of Hadramawt province, when the gunmen stopped his car and gunned him down, then fled.
The government has blamed al Qaeda militants for similar assassinations of several senior military and intelligence officials this year.
The bullet-riddled body of Major al-Numeiry Abdo al-Oudi, deputy director of the security department of al-Qitten in Hadramawt, was found in the town`s suburbs last week. He had been kidnapped earlier in the month.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity according to regulations.
Meanwhile, Maj Gen Ahmed Seif, who is commander of Yemen`s central military region, said the Defense Ministry has deployed an infantry brigade in the northeastern province of Marib to stop armed tribesmen who maintain cordial ties with al Qaeda from attacking oil pipelines and power generating stations, as well as to counter al Qaeda militants.
State TV meanwhile aired a meeting between President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi and eight Yemeni sailors who were rescued last week by forces of Somalia`s semiautonomous Puntland region after being held for nearly three years by Somali pirates.
The Puntland government says that its forces captured the hijacked Panama-flagged MV Iceberg 1 on Sunday after a siege that lasted two weeks. They freed the eight Yemeni sailors together with five Indians, two Pakistanis, four Ghanaians, two Sudanese and a Filipino. The ship was hijacked March 29, 2010.
Hadi congratulated the eight sailors for their safety and ordered the government to compensate them for their suffering.
