Frequently described as the friendliest club on the Central Coast of NSW, Toukley Golf Club is located approximately half-way between Sydney and Newcastle, on bushland that juts out into the scenic Budgewoi Lake. The area is one of only seven breeding sites in the region of the magnificent eagle - hence the club's logo - and, in addition, is home to an abundance of other native bird species.
The 6156-metre, 18-hole championship course is unique in that it is comprised of two distinct layouts - the front nine holes being flanked on both sides of the fairways by trees, while the back nine are open to the wind, almost links-style.
There are no upcoming events at this time.

Judge Posner Dumps Ridiculous Patent Fight Between Apple & Motorola As Contrary To The Public Interest
from the with-prejudice dept
While he normally is on the 7th Circuit Appeals Court, appeals court judges will sometimes "slum it" down at a district court. So Posner was handling a big patent fight: one filed by Apple against Motorola for patent infringement concerning (of course) smartphones, down in the Northern Illinois district court. As we've discussed at length in the past, there are a whole bunch of patent disputes concerning smartphones, with companies suing each other in the courts or seeking injunctions from the ITC. This case was one of the "main events," especially considering Google's purchase of Motorola.
So it's pretty interesting to see that Posner has told everyone he's dumping the case. The trial was supposed to start on Monday, but he released a statement saying that there's nothing worth reviewing at a trial, and that he's dismissing the case with prejudice (meaning it can't be refiled), and effectively saying (in much nicer language) that the whole thing is a joke. The note concerning this says he'll issue a full ruling within a week -- though, he says that "in the course of... preparation I may change my mind" on the reasoning for the dismissal. Still, he lays out the basics, which are that there's simply nothing worth discussing. As he puts it: "neither party can establish a right to relief." Apple has admitted that "it cannot prove damages for the alleged infringement" of two of the patents, that two other patents do "not create a genuine issue of material fact" that would allow a trial to move forward and, with the final patent, Apple's evidence of damages "fails to create a genuine issue of material fact."
This isn't a huge surprise, since Posner's statements in filings from a few weeks ago certainly suggested his annoyance that a lawsuit had been filed over these patents. As quoted by Jeff Roberts at GigaOm, Posner had hit back at claims from both sides with pretty strong language:
[re a slide-to-unlock patent] Apple's .. argument is that "a tap is a zero-length swipe." That's silly. It's like saying that a point is a zero-length line.The statement from Posner also rejects the idea that, outside of the damages question, "injunctive relief" (blocking one another from offering the products) was reasonable, stating that it would "impose costs disproportionate to the harm" and "would be contrary to the public interest."
Motorola's contention that the term has a "plain and ordinary meaning" is ridiculous; Motorola seems to have forgotten that this is a jury trial.
Roberts also notes that, in a bit of interesting timing, Posner had just a few days ago posted a blog post discussing the importance of capitalism, but noting that our version of capitalism is lacking in many ways -- with him specifically calling out the "dysfunctional patent system" as one of a litany of problems with the way we've embraced "capitalism."
Posner has certainly always appeared to recognize that intellectual property law could be abused, but this seems like a strong indication that he's realizing just how widely it is being abused under today's patent system.

Wendys will be replacing the four trees that it recently removed from the front of its hamburger restaurant at 1840 Main Ave., but the new trees will have to wait until the spring.
Mark Austin, vice president of real estate for the Durango Wendys, blamed bad timing for the delay.
The restaurant wanted to remove the trees, which had suffered damage from insects and salt, before they fell on somebody, but could not do it before the weather turned cold.
If they were planted now, they wouldnt take, Austin said.
When someone had complained about the tree removal to the city of Durango, Wendys got a letter from the city reminding them to comply with their original landscape plan that the city had approved in 1989.
Austin and Mark Williams, a city planner, said Wendys and the city would consult with the Colorado Department of Transportation about the kind of trees that should be planted so they wont obstruct views of the street and pose a safety hazard for traffic.
But the restaurant wants to emphasize that it is eager to plant the trees.
We love trees, too, Austin said.

Lexus IS250 / IS350 2014, DryFlow™ Panel Red Air Filter by AEM®. AEM DryFlow Air Filters are washable synthetic air filters designed for an optimum combination of air flow, filtration, and performance. AEM DryFlow filters use an innovative high performance oil-free filtration material that allows easy cleaning, durable service, and excellent filtration.
|Filter Types: Direct Fit Filter
|Series: DryFlow™
|Filter Shape: Panel
|Filter Style: Non-Flanged
|Filter Color: Red
|Filter Outside Width: 9.063"
|Filter Outside Length: 9.125"

- Designed to increase horsepower and throttle response
- AEM Air Filters are cleanable and reusable for the life of your vehicle
- Captures up to 99% of harmful contaminants
- Outstanding performance even in dusty racing conditions

- Does not require oil
- Will NOT void vehicle warranty
- Guaranteed for the life of your vehicle
- 1 Air Filter
AEM's DryFlow air filter offers the best of all possible worlds, increased airflow to the engine, optimal filtration for long engine life and easy maintenance. First let's talk about airflow. Every DryFlow filter is designed to exceed the engine's airflow requirements; not by just a little but by a wide margin. This allows you to make engine modifications that increase engine airflow without having to worry about exceeding the filter's airflow capacity. And the DryFlow filter performs under real world conditions. It flows almost as well when it's dirty as it does when it's clean, and its unique non-woven filter media is designed to actually shed dirt under engine vibration, unlike cotton-gauze filters that retain dirt. But don't think that filtration ability has been sacrificed for airflow. The AEM DryFlow filter captures up to 99% of contaminants, extending the life of engine rings and seals. Finally, the DryFlow filter is a breeze to clean. Simply knocking the filter a few times will remove excess dirt from the filter pleats, and the actual cleaning process is simple. Most importantly, the DryFlow filter requires no oiling, taking the guesswork out of servicing.
The AEM DryFlow filter is constructed of a unique non-woven polyester-based filter media supported by aluminum screen wire for rigid structural strength. This filter media doesn't require oil to filter and trap dirt and contaminants, and actually sheds dirt under engine vibration, unlike cotton-gauze, which holds onto contaminants until you clean the filter. When it's time to clean, simply tapping the filter a few times will remove most of the dirt from the filter pleats. Then spray the filter with AEM's environmentally friendly, mild, all-purpose cleaner. Rinse the filter with clean water and allow to dry, or blow dry with compressed air. Best of all, the DryFlow filter requires no oiling, so there's never a chance of over-oiling. The DryFlow filter is extremely durable and will withstand almost unlimited cleanings.
John Concialdi and Bob Sullivan co founded AEM® in 1987 as a tuning performance shop in Compton California. Both men had extensive technical backgrounds in engines and engine airflow, and in a short time AEM became the go-to company for performance modifications. By 1993, when the company relocated to Gardena California, it had become commonplace to see cars wearing the bright yellow AEM logo winning races. AEM tirelessly dyno tested and worked closely with racers and auto manufacturers in an effort to understand intake energy dynamics. This resulted in the sale of their first air intake kit in 1994. AEM can boast a number of firsts and unique products. They're the first manufacturer to make an intake system with specific tube lengths and diameters to take advantage of pressure waves in the inlet tract; they developed the first dual chamber intake kit; they designed an air bypass valve to prevent hydro-lock should the air filter ingest water; and they created one of the first hybrid intake systems for modified cars. AEM continues to create innovative products to help you get more power from your car.

PENN HILLS (KDKA) — A violent crash Friday morning, forced crews to close down Allegheny River Boulevard, between Nadine Road and Washington Boulevard.
The crash happened around 2:15 a.m.
It started when Pittsburgh Police tried to pull a car over along Hamilton Avenue in Homewood around 2 a.m. Friday morning.

"Checks are going in the mail that will make all public customers of MF Global Inc. 100 percent whole," the trustee, James Giddens, said today in a statement. He called the repayment in full, which he had predicted since November, the result of "Herculean efforts" by many professionals in the case. It will satisfy claims of more than 26,000 securities and commodities customers. MF Global Holdings Ltd., the brokerage's parent company, filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 31, 2011, after a wrong-way $6.3 billion bet on bonds of some of Europe's most indebted nations. More than $1.6 billion in customer funds that should have been segregated were missing. The company listed assets of $41 billion and debts of $39.7 billion. "The 100 percent customer recovery does not diminish the consequences of the unprecedented customer property segregation failure that led to MFGI's liquidation, including the length of time customers have been without their property," Giddens said in today's statement. Interim distributions have been made to customers. The final distribution was made possible by a temporary loan from the general estate of the parent company's bankruptcy and decisions by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn and U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero to reject objections by ex- managers including Corzine, the former MF Global chairman and chief executive officer. Corzine, the ex-New Jersey governor and onetime Goldman Sachs Group Inc. co-chairman, in November challenged a bankruptcy court ruling that would advance funds from the bankruptcy estate of the parent company to pay brokerage customers' claims. Other ex-MF Global managers who had been accused of wrongdoing in a lawsuit along with Corzine, including Bradley Abelow and Henri Steenkamp, joined him in the appeal. The holding company's Chapter 11 case is In re MF Global Holdings Ltd., 11-bk-15059, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The liquidation of the broker is In re MF Global Inc., 11-bk-02790, in the same court. Back to news

You may have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), if you've been through a traumatic event and are having trouble dealing with it. Such events may include a car crash, rape, domestic violence, military combat, or violent crime. While it is normal to have some anxiety after such an event, it usually goes away in time. But with PTSD, the anxiety is more intense and keeps coming back. And the trauma is relived through nightmares, intrusive memories, and flashbacks. These can be vivid memories that seem real. The symptoms of PTSD can cause problems with relationships and make it hard to cope with daily life. But it can be treated. With help, you can feel better.
PTSD may be triggered by something that:
Examples include:
There are many risk factors for developing PTSD. Recognizing and addressing them can help prevent PTSD, when possible. These risk factors include:
Symptoms of PTSD last more than a month. They may include:
The symptoms of PTSD may look like other mental health conditions. Always consult your health care provider for a diagnosis.
Not every person who goes through a trauma develops PTSD, or experiences symptoms at all. PTSD is diagnosed if your symptoms last more than one month. Symptoms usually begin within 3 months of the trauma, but can also start months or years later.
How long this illness lasts varies. Some people recover within 6 months, others have symptoms that last much longer.
Specific treatment for PTSD will be decided by your healthcare provider based on:
You may think that asking for help is a sign of weakness. In fact, taking action to make your life better takes a lot of courage. Talking about a trauma can be hard, but it can make a big difference. The main treatment for PTSD is counseling. You'll work with a trained therapist to learn new ways to cope with your experiences. Medicine may also be prescribed to help with anxiety, depression, or sleep. Most people with PTSD have a combination of counseling and medicine for treatment.
Counseling is done in a safe environment, either one-on-one or in a group. Group therapy is often done with other people who have been through similar events. PTSD is often treated with one or more of the following forms of counseling. Talk with your healthcare provider about your options so you can decide on a counseling format that works for you.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:

"Managing Cash: The Small Business Owner's Guide to Financial Control" will be offered by Texas A&M International University Small Business Development Center (TAMIU-SBDC) on Friday, July 25, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the TAMIU Western Hemispheric Trade Center, room 126.
The $20 Workshop fee includes a workbook.
Cash flow is what comes into and goes out of a business. Gaining financial control by understanding cash flow is crucial to business success.
"Many people think their business is sound as long as more money is coming in than is going out. This way of thinking can weaken a business' short-term stability and its long-term growth. A certain amount of cash must be on hand at all times for day-to-day operations and to pay expenses on time," explained Richard Pérez, SBDC Director.
"Inevitably, a gap will occur when bills are due before the cash that's owed the business is collected. In addition, unexpected expenses, like equipment repair, can really complicate operations," he noted.
Pérez explained that without proper cash flow, even a thriving business can fail.
"Think of your business as a rope with three intertwined strings. One string is what you sell (your products and services). The other string is what you earn, and the third is what you spend. If one string weakens, it affects the strength of the rope," Pérez said.
The Workshop will offer advice on the following:

Noun: Vintage & Local in Portland
- Location: Portland, OR & online
- Specialty: Mix of vintage, new and local
- Price range: $$
- Website: shopnoun.com
Store History
- Founded: November 2006
- Founded by: Stephanie Sheldon
- Headquarters: Portland, OR
As an editor, I was drawn in by the name of this Portland shop — Noun: A Person's Place for Things. As a shopper, I'm drawn to Noun's mix of vintage finds and new and locally crafted goods.
Name/Title: Stephanie Sheldon/owner
Launch date: November 1, 2006
Inspiration for I daydreamed about opening a shop for many years but never knew how it would manifest itself or what products I would focus on. I moved to Portland in 1997 and soon made friends with a couple who had a beautiful home and decorated it primarily with the old things they found at estate sales. I tagged along on a few trips and soon found myself addicted to the hunt. I realized I was good at looking past the muck and dust to see the inherent beauty in old, forgotten objects. And living in Portland, it's hard not to be inspired by the artists and craftsman that you meet on a daily basis. I simply put those two things together and VOILA! - a shop was born.
Merchandise We have 3 categories of merchandise: vintage, new and local. Nothing is off limits when it comes to sourcing vintage - thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets, auctions, dumpsters. We do it all. Items in the "new" category come from catalogues and are made all over the world. "Local" most often means it is made right here in Portland, although in the last couple of years we've started to branch out and include other artisans and small studios from around North America.
Best selling We sell a line of bags by a local company called Nan-Made Objects. They're made from scrap Pendelton wool and Danner leather. Not only are they gorgeous but they are a true feel-good purchase: you go to a local shop, buy a locally made bag, constructed from locally-made materials. That's a WIN! WIN! WIN! (And they fly off the shelves because of it.)
Your favorite We have a vintage toy piano in the shop that I kinda love. It plays perfectly out-of-tune notes and it's hard to walk past it without tapping a few keys. It's a tie between that and these colorful enamel lockets that just came in from Paris.
Favorite store (other than your own): Hard to choose but Alder & Co. is certainly one of my local favorites. It is impeccably curated, beautifully merchandised and manages to be both modern and inviting. I've found few shops are able to achieve those things simultaneously and they do it perfectly.

DO: I actually released the original version of this song on my album "love" as a fun dance mix, and I got alarming response on the song. It was everybody's favorite. So after I had been talking to Ryan Stewart for a bit about what song we were gonna do I sent him the original version and he liked it right away, more so than any other song I sent him, so we decided to record it, we re-wrote everything minus the chorus.
RD: Now that its released and playing on over a dozen stations what are your plans to follow up on its success?
DO: There's a couple cool things in the pipe. I'm working on a collab with an artist who shall currently remain nameless, and there's a couple dj's interested in remixing this song. But there's plans to do song number 2 with Ryan in march of 2013. We're just now in the deciding stages of what direction were gonna go with single #2.
RD: Is there a full album in the works?
DO: An album will eventually happen. But right now I'm just focused on released another single or two which hopefully will help me arrange a deal for an album.
RD: if you could choose any act to open for which act would you choose to open for?
DO: If I could open for anyone, it would probably be Andrew Allen, again. I opened for him in Kamloops back in February and that was a ton of fun. He's a super nice dude and has given me a lot of advice over the past year. So I'd definitely want to do another show with him. I'm sure it'll happen soon enough!

Storms tonight?
We are seeing storms forming over southwest MO and northeast OK, and they are moving our way. With the sun down, there's less instability to work with, but, these storms could certainly hold together overnight and move into parts of NWAR and eastern sections of the River Valley. Unlike last night these storms do have some forward movement with them, which means flash flooding shouldn't be as much of an issue. Severe weather is possible, but, not likely.
With a lot more sun on Monday temps will warm back into the 90s. Only 20% chances for pop up afternoon storms are possible Monday. In the mean time, keep those fingers crossed, rain will be hit and miss throughout this coming week.

New to AS and this has me stumped. Here is my code...
tile1.buttonMode = true;
tile2.buttonMode = true;
tile3.buttonMode = true;
tile4.buttonMode = true;
tile5.buttonMode = true;
tile6.buttonMode = true;
tile7.buttonMode = true;
tile8.buttonMode = true;
tile9.buttonMode = true;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, placeX);
function placeX(e:MouseEvent):void
trace("You placed an X");
addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, placeO);
function placeO(e:MouseEvent):void
trace("You placed an O");
The problem is on CLICK it traces out correct and changes the tile to an X like it should. Then when I try to DOUBLE_CLICK I get: "ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property gotoAndStop not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value. at ch6_fla::MainTimeline/placeX()" and the tile stays at X.
Like I said I'm pretty new to AS and coding in general so I don't understand what that error means.
I am attaching the file itself so you can see what I have. It's pretty simple but I can't understand why it doesn't work. The file is saved as a .fla 5

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 29, 2013) – The ETSU baseball team opens a five-game road swing Tuesday night as the Bucs travel to Boone, N.C., to take on Appalachian State. Prior to playing their originally slated nine-inning game, the Bucs and Mountaineers will resume last Wednesday's suspended game starting at 5 p.m., at Smith Stadium.
Following Tuesday night's game, the Blue and Gold travel to Cookeville and take on Tennessee Tech Wednesday night at 7 p.m. (Eastern) from Bush Stadium.
- The Bucs (24-17, 13-8 A-Sun) won their fourth conference series of the season after taking two of three from Kennesaw State over the weekend at Thomas Stadium.
- After suffering a tough 4-1 loss Friday night, the Blue and Gold bounced back in a big way by sweeping a doubleheader on Saturday. The Bucs took game one of the twinbill, 9-7, and won the nightcap, 8-2.
- ETSU got strong hitting and pitching in the series as the Buccaneer hitters recorded a .343 (34-99) batting average and the pitchers posted a 2.33 ERA (7 ER/27.0 IP) in the three games.
- At the plate, Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.), Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) and Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) accounted for 23 of the 34 hits and 12 of the 18 runs scored. Freeman – who drove in his 100th career run in game two of Saturday's doubleheader – finished the series hitting .583 (7-12) with one double, one home run, and six RBI, while Green went 6-for-13 with four doubles, five runs scored and four RBI. Riopedre hit .500 (5-10) in the three games and Taylor was 5-for-12 with two doubles, four runs scored, and three RBI.
- On the mound, senior Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) won his sixth straight start to improve to 9-1 as he started the first game of the doubleheader, and junior Logan Rice (Erwin, Tenn.) moved his record to 5-1 after allowing one run in a career-high seven innings in the 8-2 series-clinching win on Saturday. Freshman lefty Josh Jacques (Rollinsford, N.H.) made his first collegiate Friday night start and suffered a heartbreaking loss as he allowed two unearned runs in six innings of work. Meanwhile, Freeman also finished off both games on the mound on Saturday, and earned his sixth save in game one of the doubleheader.
- Appalachian State had its series with Samford shortened as rain cancelled Sunday's series finale. The Mountaineers opened the series with a 10-5 win on Friday before falling 19-2 on Saturday to move Appalachian State's record to 23-16, 11-11 in SoCon play.
- Senior infielder Hector Crespo recorded hits in both games this weekend versus Samford and leads the team with a .349 batting average (60-172).
- Crespo is one of four players to have recorded at least 10 stolen bases on the season, while the Mountaineers rank second in the SoCon with 76. Crespo has stolen 17 bases on the year, while junior William Head leads the team with 19 swipes.
- Appalachian State – who posted a 41-18 record in 2012 – won the Southern Conference Championship and went to the NCAA Regional for the first time since 1986.
- Tuesday marks the 126th all-time meeting between the two programs, with Appalachian State leading the series, 71-54, but the Bucs have won three straight and seven of the last 10 versus the Mountaineers.
- Last season, Chris Riopedre's two-run scoring single in the bottom of the seventh brought home the eventual game-winning runs, lifting the Blue and Gold to a 7-4 victory at Thomas Stadium. Clinton Freeman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in the three-run victory, while Logan Rice tossed two scoreless innings in relief.
- The Golden Eagles – who have won five straight – are 32-12 and sit second in the Ohio Valley Conference at 19-5.
- Tennessee Tech leads the OVC in batting average (.303), slugging percentage (.467), on-base percentage (.401), runs scored (312), hits (457), RBIs (289), doubles (92) and home runs (42).
- Individually, junior infielder Daniel Miles leads the conference with a .369 batting average and .658 slugging percentage, while junior first baseman/designated hitter Zach Stephens' 11 home runs and 53 RBI tops the conference leaders.
- Tennessee Tech's pitching staff has struck out an OVC-best 385 hitters and its 4.50 ERA (193 ER/386.0 IP) ranks second.
- The Bucs and Tennessee Tech have played 86 times, with the Golden Eagles holding a slight advantage, 45-41.
- ETSU has won three of the last four games in the series, including a 3-0 victory back on April 2 at Thomas Stadium. Logan Rice made his first collegiate start and earned the win after tossing four scoreless innings, while Clinton Freeman picked up the save by pitching the final two frames out of the bullpen. Seven different Buccaneer hitters accounted for the 10 hits, with Jeremy Taylor, Andrew Green and Dylan Tritsch (Boca Raton, Fla.) all providing the Blue and Gold with two-hit efforts.
- Wednesday's game marks ETSU's first trip to Cookeville since March 16, 2011, when the Bucs defeated Tennessee Tech, 6-5.
- Live stats will be available for both games via StatBroadcast by visiting ETSUBucs.com. Fans can access live stats on their computers, mobile devices or tablets.

Does Ticketmaster Undercount Tickets Sold To Underpay?
from the concert-accounting dept
So what about ticket sales for events? Eric Goldman points us to an ongoing lawsuit, in which a producer of events, Club Escapade 2000, is suing Ticketmaster for severely undercounting ticket sales at an event. The event was a soccer match held at the University of Texas El Paso's stadium between two Mexico City soccer teams.
According to Plaintiff, the event was "extremely popular" — traffic was backed up on the highways and news outlets reported large crowds of twenty to forty thousand people attending... Much to Plaintiff's surprise, Defendant reported that it had sold only 13,151 tickets.... These numbers seemed too low to Plaintiff, and Plaintiff began an investigation of Defendant's audit reports... Plaintiff allegedly found that on the day before the event, March 24, 2009, Defendant reported that the number of tickets sold was 14,408... The very next day, though, the reported number of sales dropped to 11,098... According to Plaintiff, this was suspicious because there were no refunds or exchanges... Based on this suspicion, Plaintiff hired an expert in digital imaging who examined the video footage of the soccer match... The expert estimated that attendance was likely as high as 24,311.Kinda makes you wonder if this is standard practice... and if this is why the legacy entertainment guys seem to assume that all fans want to screw them over. Perhaps they're just used to every one else they run into trying to screw them over.

Jose Vazquez, among Control Engineering Leaders Under 40 for 2010
Jose Vazquez, 33
Vice-President, 8 years
Invision Engineering Corp.
Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, USA
Job function: System Integration or Consulting
Academics: BSEE (Controls), University of Puerto Rico; MBA (Global Mgt.), University of Phoenix
Achievements: Since 2000 when I began working as an engineer, I have been providing contributions to the engineering industry. I have worked on several control systems modernization projects, from design all to start-up and commissioning. In 2002, my partner and I founded Invision Engineering Corp. In eight years we have a created a company of more than 40 employees and multimillion yearly sales that provides turnkey control and systems integration services to industrial customers in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and the United States. In 2007 I was awarded "Successful Entrepreneur of the Year" by the Puerto Rico Small Business Technology Development Center. I have also contributed as a committee member of ISA on development and review of standards such as ISA-101 Human Machine Interfaces standard and others. I'm a Professional Engineer, Siemens Certified Solutions Partner, Rockwell Automation System Integrator, and CompTIA RFID+ certified. Also I have been working on design of RFID systems for hazardous locations. As of today the RFID industry lacks standards, guides, and a complete line of equipment for hazardous locations. I'm working in partnership with an RFID vendor to have a complete RFID solution (tags, readers, antennas, hand-held devices, forklift readers, portals, etc.) for hazardous locations.
Non-work hobbies: I provide my time to my church by being one of the technology ministry members. I provide my technology knowledge in order to help the church with such matters as webpage design, management, and maintenance. Also I help with the church management software. I do this for several reasons: personally because I understand that I need to give back to my country and the community I live, spiritually because I believe that my God has given me a lot of blessings in my 33 years of life and I want to give back because of my gratitude, and lastly because knowledge and abilities that do not generate actions that affect others positively are wasted. But this is more work. When I'm not working I like to play golf. I play because golf is a game that challenges you physically and mentally. I really love it. For me is a stress reliever.
Engineering hobbies: I have provided several control and systems integration related training [sessions] to professionals in order to improve their performance and productivity. This training is focused on using engineering knowledge in existing and new applications. I do this to help other professionals gain from my past experiences and also speed up their careers. Also, it helps me maintain my technical expertise since it forces me to be sharp, know the details and specifics, and there always is someone to challenge me.
More? I'm a shy person; however, every day I go against my shyness in order to be a better husband, father, and professional. I appreciate that in my 10 years of professional experience there have been wonderful people who have helped me overcome my limitations. Another interesting detail, at least for me, is that I love to go out every day and try to provide control and automation related solutions to my customers. Every day is a new day to help some customer solve a problem, increase productivity, improve a system's performance, and therefore make a new friend and ally.
Start in controls: Since my engineering classes, I noticed that I liked anything related to electrical systems. Once I got my first control systems class, I knew that was a field I would like. However, I did not know how controls were implemented on the industry. When I got my first job for a small control and systems integration firm, I learned to love the job because every project was a new experience. In 10 years I have participated in hundreds of projects, and I can say that every project was a completely different experience. I have never been bored in my job.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is looking for ways to upgrade the Phosphorus Index, a simple management tool developed during the 1990s to gauge the risk of phosphorus losses from agricultural fields. In developing a national nutrient-management policy, NRCS allowed states to modify the original index—a matrix of source and transport factors that contribute to phosphorus loss—with inputs to account for local variations in soils, climate, management and water quality goals.
But this action resulted in widely different state-by-state phosphorus indices that often didn't agree with each other on how to manage phosphorus. "We'd put in the same numbers and get different results, depending on the state," says Agricultural Research Service soil scientist Peter Vadas, who works at the U.S. Dairy Forage Research Center in Madison, WI. Additionally, many of these indices were not tested against monitoring data to show that they gave reliable results, or they didn't quantify phosphorus loss—such as losses in pounds per acre—which made them difficult to test against field data.
Vadas worked with colleagues to develop the Annual Phosphorus Loss Estimator (APLE), a user-friendly spreadsheet program that predicts field-scale phosphorus losses in runoff for a whole year.
The scientists developed APLE so it would be as easy to use as earlier phosphorus indices. It could be used in many different states to quantify field-scale phosphorus loss and soil phosphorus changes over 10 years for a given set of runoff, erosion and management conditions. They included information and data that has been established for decades, as well as important innovations, especially for phosphorus loss from manures and fertilizers.
The scientists started out by programming APLE with data from 21 field studies that measured the impact of surface-applied manure and fertilizer on phosphorus loss. The 21 studies represented a wide variety of field sizes, crop and manure management conditions, manure types and geographic locations across the United States.

Then the scientists expanded APLE to include dissolved phosphorus loss from soil and sediment phosphorus loss from erosion. They tested APLE with field data from another 28 studies that monitored phosphorus loss in runoff from fields for at least a year.
The team showed that APLE could reliably quantify phosphorus losses in runoff for many different situations and could produce more reliable estimates than some existing phosphorus indices. From there, Vadas and his colleagues again expanded APLE to simulate changes in soil phosphorus over 10 years. This application would be important for farmers concerned about accumulating too much soil phosphorus or wondering how long it might take to reduce the phosphorus that had already accumulated.
The team compared APLE soil phosphorus simulations with field results from 25 studies that monitored changes in soil phosphorus from one to 29 years.
Most recently, the scientists have been using APLE to improve the assessment of phosphorus losses from agricultural fields and whole farms. For instance one project demonstrated that APLE can be used to rapidly and easily develop weighting factors for determining the relative contribution of phosphorus losses from different sources, such as soil, manure or erosion. In collaboration with scientists from the University of Wisconsin in Madison and Platteville, Vadas has been adapting APLE to simulate phosphorus losses from pastures grazed by beef and dairy cattle and from barnyards and exercise lots on cattle farms. With these improvements, APLE can be used to develop whole-farm estimates of phosphorus losses and the most effective strategies for reducing phosphorus losses from cattle farms. These practices could include barnyard improvements for capturing discharge, soil conservation practices that reduce erosion, or manure application practices that reduce exposure to runoff water.
"APLE has all of the current science, and it shows that we do have good equations to predict phosphorus loss," Vadas says. "We have decades of research on soil phosphorus processes, but we needed to find a way to integrate this information so that people can make sense of it. Now we have a good model that can expand on different scenarios very quickly and efficiently and help producers and policymakers make informed decisions about managing phosphorus."
APLE is free to download at tinyurl.com/phosphorusloss and includes supporting technical documentation and a user's manual.

This is a must-read for all users posting to the JavaScript forum, especially if you're looking to get help. A lot of you are posting in a manner that makes it extremely difficult- if not impossible- to respond to. Below are a list of posting guidelines and tips we ask that you please read- and FOLLOW- when asking for help:
1) Type in a subject that summarizes your question!- The fastest way to turn off other members wanting to help you is to type an incomplete or silly subject for your post. Examples of poor subject titles include:
- "Help!"
- "I'm a newbie...please!"
- "Is this possible using JavaScript?"
- "loops"
- "Urgent...deadline tomorrow!"
- "A challenge for you JavaScript masters"
The above subjects either have absolutely nothing to do with the question itself, or are grossly incomplete (ie: "loops"). When asking for help, enter a subject that summarizes your question, period! Don't use silly, incomplete, or "bait" subjects.
2) Be descriptive and articulate when asking your question! Some of you are posting as if we're all psychics, and are supposed to grasp your question with the little or confusing information you've provided in your question. We cannot read your mind, and putting up a post like "Can someone help me with arrays?" or "How can I get the slide-in slideshow to work on my site?" is not nearly enough information to go by. What exactly do you want to know about arrays? Which slide-in slideshow are you referring to (the one written by Bill Gates?)? Set us up with some crucial background information, what you want to do, and what the problem is. Be concise and precise.
Also when posting, understand that you're trying to convince others to help you. Be articulate and have respect for the English language! Check for spelling/grammar mistakes, and try and format your question and code in an easily legible manner. Big tip: Use the preview button often.
Bottom line- put yourself in our shoes, and try and phrase the question so it's clear and easy to respond to.
3) Do your homework first. Only post the part of the script you're having trouble with! There are generally two types of people- ones that simply dump their entire page or problem and expect everyone to spend hours solving everything for them, and those that do their own homework first, and only ask very specific, manageable questions. The later invariably gets more and better responses from others. When you're lazy, do not expect us to be hardworking for you.
As an example, lets say you're working on a long script that uses the "switch" statement of JavaScript, and it's returning errors. You could either:
i) Post the entire script and simply say "Please debug this script for me!"
ii) Or, localize the problem yourself first and post instead "Can someone tell me the syntax of the switch statement in JavaScript?"
The second question will get a LOT more quality responses, as it is concise, manageable, and not overwhelming. Remember, ask for the world, and you'll get nothing. Ask for a little, and you'll get a lot.
4) Use the search feature often to make sure your question isn't already answered- The longer this forum has been online, the more solutions it accumulates. Always search past posts first (using the search link to your upper right) to make sure your question isn't already answered. Use 1-2 keywords as the search terms.
5) Know the capabilities and limits of JavaScript before posting. Please familiarize yourself with what JavaScript can- and cannot do- before posting. Many people are posting JS questions that simply cannot be accomplished using the language, period. JavaScript is a client side language, and cannot manipulate the server end in any way, such as saving data to the server, accessing a database etc. JavaScript works strictly on the user end, such as popping up a window, applying an image rollover effect, or determining user screen resolution (*without* the ability to pass this info back to the server).
If JavaScript is completely new to you, please familiarize yourself somewhat with the language, by visiting the below links
- JavaScript questions and answers list
- JavaScript tutorials
- Advanced JavaScript tutorials
- Pre-made JavaScripts (illustrates typical JS applications)
6) Be appreciative and follow up when getting a response. Everyone here is volunterring their time to help out others. The least you can do is be appreciative and follow up when getting a helpful response. If you've solved your problem, let people know so they don't continue spending time on your question. Saying a little "thank you" goes a long way.

Puzzle-IT needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 16 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
We are Puzzle-IT, and we only support small businesses. Our service is tailored specifically for small businesses, and because of that, all of our clients are big to us.
We believe that a small business needs great IT just as much as a big one. Having great IT doesn't have to mean spending a fortune, and it doesn't mean lots of technology everywhere. Having great IT is about using technology to acheive your goals, and that's the same for any business. Puzzle-IT give small businesses the chance to have the same exceptional IT support as a big business.
Small businesses looking for IT support.
We need a set of 6 icons, all of them relatively similar. In keeping with the name of the company, we want them all to be jigsaw puzzle pieces, of different shapes and colours.
Each puzzle piece will represent a different part of our services and as such will need to be a different shaped puzzle piece and have a different icon within the puzzle piece. The 6 pieces should be the same size but not fit together to form any shape, we would like them to be attractive to look at not fit together. (continues in requirements)
(see target audience for beginning of this info)
It is very important they are clean and simple as this is the main focus of all
our promotional material.
We have the colours already but we would like the pieces to have a sheen to them so you can choose the darker and lighter colours that go to provide this.
The colours are
Red: r: 177 g:37 b:36
Orange: r: 255 g: 127 b:0
Blue: r: 25 g: 133 b: 182
Green: r: 140 g: 213 b:0
Yellow: r: 255 g: 219 b:0
Silver: r: 199 g: 199 b:199
The services that each colour represent are written below.
Red: Disaster Recovery
Orange: Hardware/Software procurement
Blue: By the minute reporting
Green: IT Consulting
Yellow: Spread costs across the year
Silver: Payment (not a service but part of our requirements)
For each of these we would like an icon instead the puzzle piece that is in white. This is where you can get creative but the symbols need to represent each service clearly. (we had a £ sign for payment and a trolley for procurement for example but feel free to change these)
They will need to be vectors so that they can be scaled to any size and used in illustrator as they will be used across a variety of promotional material.

bike geometry comparison
Now it's a standing question in the age of sloping top tubes what's the single best number to describe the size of the frame. The only parameters which can't be adjusted are front-center and rear-center and bottom bracket drop, so these are likely candidates. Considering the body fixed with relation to the bottom bracket by an appropriate choice of seat post length and offset, stem length and angle, the front center and chainstay length, in combination with the bottom bracket drop, determine how weight is distributed between the front and rear wheels. But it doesn't feel right to use these parameters to describe bike size. After all, a touring bike designed for a short person might have longer dimensions than the longest Cervelo road racing machine, the Cervelos known for their tight wheelbases.
The next candidate is Cervelo's favorite number: reach. This describes the lateral distance from saddle to handlebars with seatpost chosen to yield a fixed saddle setback with respect to the bottom bracket. Of course a fixed stem assumption is unrealistic, but generally one want to keep stem length within a certain range (8 cm for a short rider up to 13 cm for a tall rider) to keep a certain range of handlebar motion with steering. So for these plots I'll use reach.
The other parameter is head tube length. This is the other geometry parameter describing where the handlebars end up. I figure you generally want a head tube which requires neither a tall stack of spacers nor one which requires slamming a -17 degree stem against the end of range. You want something which puts a stem reasonably close to the head tube while allowing for some range.
I'm sticking with carbon frames in this analysis, since they tend to have internal headsets, while there's still a lot of metal frames out there with external headsets. External headsets add to the effective head tube length.
Okay, the data... click on images to view larger versions:
It's clear there's a wide range of geometries available, despite the seeming homogeneity associated with the dominance of OEM Taiwanese manufacturing (Trek and Time being exceptions). Despite this, on the WeightWeenies forum you get people all the time asking questions like "Should I get bike X or bike Y?" without providing any information about their body size or geometry preferences. It's almost like asking which shoe should I get, Nike or New Balance? Well, which one fits better?
True, pro cyclists tend to make do with the geometry of their sponsoring bike company. But there's no reason for you or me to live with that restriction.
What about me? I think I like the Madone Pro Fit geometry the best: ideally I'd like an 11.5 cm head tube @ 72 degrees, a 75 degree seat tube, and a 39 cm reach. None of the bike nail this head-on, but a bunch of them are in the neighborhood. But not all, obviously.
5 comments:
It is amazing what an appreciable difference in feel these apparently small geometry variations make. My new track bike has a 52 cm effective top tube versus 52.9 on my road frame; a 74 degree head angle versus 72.8 on my road frame; a 76 degree seat angle versus 74.7 on my road frame, and a 38.5 cm chainstay versus 40.9 on my road frame. Yet these bikes feel hugely different! For one thing, the front wheel-toe overlap on the track frame is much larger than on the road frame.

I'd like to take my custom-geo Parlee to a bike shop and see how some of these longer head tube frames can be set up to match the geometry of my own bike. Sure, the top tube won't be close to my 63cm TT on the Parlee, but one can be stretched out with a longer stem and more setback on the seatpost.
Then again, maybe I shouldn't ask for that as it might b the question, "Why did I buy the customer Parlee when the Specialized/Trek/whatever frame fits me too?".

- phipps said...
Thanks Dan, I found this very helpful. Interesting to see that the reach on the Specialized is relatively long compared to some other makes. I am planning on switching from a 54cm SL2 to a 52cm SL3, mostly for the shorter head tube and because the 52 comes with 170mm cranks.

- djconnel said...
Someone reamed me on a forum for this plot.... basically for a given rider, he said, the same reach for bikes with two different head tubes (angles or length) are the same. So the data needs to be evaluated with care. Nevertheless, it's clear to me that the general trends apply: some bikes are clearly more stretched out, others less so.
The SL3 is a very desirable frame, I agree, and that crankset is really light. I'd love to test ride one, although I'm happy with my Fuji SL/1.

To Todd: Custom has the advantage not only in geometry but in being tuned to your body weight and riding style. There's a lot of parameters at play.
I admit the 690 gram custom carbon Guru 720p they showed at Interbike is sure nice, though. Makes my 860 gram Fuji seem like an anchor weight :). PK Cycling does Guru: I wonder how much actual improvement in ride quality I'd get versus the Fuji. Hard to say.

When it comes to a healthy garden, soil preparation matters.
All vegetables need soil that's rich in nutrients. Some soil needs a helping hand. Here are tips on building healthy soil:
Test Your Soil
- Test your soil. Results will reveal its pH, phosphorus, lime, potassium, soluble salts, soil texture, and more. However, a general test will not reveal insects, diseases, or chemical residues.
- There are a few ways to get a soil test. First, you could buy an inexpensive soil test kit at your local garden store. Or, you could contact your local cooperative extension service office for a free (or low-fee) soil test. Or, see this gardening blog about a resource that provides soil types around the country.
Amending Your Soil pH
- Achieve the proper soil pH. A very high or very low soil pH may result in plant nutrient deficiency or toxicity. A pH value of 7 is neutral; microbial activity is greatest and plant roots absorb/access nutrients best when the pH is in the 5.5 to 7 range.
- Add organic matter to your soil. It improves structure, slowly releases nutrients, and increases beneficial microbial activity. (NOTE: It is virtually impossible to know the nutrient content of aged manure.)
Know Your N-P-K
Plants' primary nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These are available in chemical/synthetic (nonorganic) fertilizers (on the package, the numbers of each nutrient indicate the percentage of net weight contained) or as organic additives suggested here.
- Nitrogen (N) promotes strong leaf and stem growth and dark green color, such as desired in broccoli, cabbage, greens and lettuce, and herbs. Add aged manure to the soil and apply alfalfa meal or fish or blood meal to increase available nitrogen.
- Phosphorus (P) promotes root and early plant growth, including setting blossoms and developing fruit, and seed formation; it's important for cucumbers, peppers, squash, tomatoes—any edible that develops after a flower has been pollinated. Add (fast-acting) bonemeal or (slow-release) rock phosphate to increase phosphorus.
- Potassium (K) promotes plant root vigor and disease and stress resistance and enhances flavor; it's vital for carrots, radishes, turnips, and onions and garlic. Add green sand, wood ashes, gypsum, or kelp to increase potassium.
Learn more about NPK Ratio: What Do Those Numbers Mean?
Avoid applying excess chemical/synthetic fertilizer. It can damage roots and/or reduce the availability of other elements. Because organic fertilizers release their benefits more slowly, they are less likely to burn plants, although some, such as fresh manure, can do so. Once the nutrients are in the soil in an available form, however, plants can not distinguish between synthetic and organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers, however, tend to also improve soil structure and encourage earthworms and microorganisms that improve soil health.
When is a good time to fertilize your vegetables? See our Growing Vegetables Guide.
Soil Fixes
- If you have clay soil, add coarse sand (not beach sand), compost, and peat moss.
- If you have sandy soil, add humus or aged manure, peat moss, or sawdust with some extra nitrogen. Heavy, clay-rich soil can also be added to improve the soil.
- If you have silt soil, add coarse sand (not beach sand) or gravel and compost, or well-rotted horse manure mixed with fresh straw.
Soil Amendments
- Bark, ground: made from various tree barks. Improves soil structure.
- Compost: excellent conditioner.
- Leaf mold: decomposed leaves that add nutrients and structure to soil.
- Lime: raises the pH of acid soil and helps loosen clay soil.
- Manure: best if composted. Good conditioner.
- Peat moss: conditioner that helps soil retain water.
- Sand: improves drainage in clay soil.
- Topsoil: usually used with another amendment. Replaces existing soil.
If you are starting from scratch with a small field or large garden that is either over-spent or neglected, see our article about reclaiming your garden soil.

I have to say this series really is quite BRILLIANT!
I have genuinely looked forward to watching each episode (in most cases more then once).
For me it's the little details and scenes that I like-Mara dancing in the Nightclub (which I could happily watch for ages
), the way they occasionally use the speeded up time-lapse images of the City to show the passage of time in that world, which does give it a sense of 'normality' in that world, the way certain environments (like the Train Station, the Nightclub, the Dockyards, etc) are designed to reflect the same environments in our world and still remain 'Tronified' etc.
In the episode Isolated for example we actually see a part of Paige's past, and the scene where she plays that music for Quorra and Aida. What strikes me about this scene is the SUBTLETY of it all, and I actually found it quite ENCHANTING to watch.
Someone even posted that clip on Youtube for everyone to watch:
This is just one of MANY small scenes that I actually found unforgettable purely because of the INTERMITE nature of the scene. Scenes like these really bring out the close, HUMAN nature of these characters for me.
Also, the character development throughout has been really well done. From the start we've seen these characters (both good and bad) evolve and grow, and achieve their own identities and personalities.
If truth be told, it's getting to the stage where I actually feel like I'm actually beginning to KNOW them has real people (even the bad guys), which is amazing when you consider that it's just an animated show!
Of all the characters for me, personally, Paige has been the most interesting to watch. When we first saw her in the first episode it's natural to assume that she was just a typical 'Bad Guy', but since then I've seen the depth of her personality really come out-she's not just one of Tesla's soldiers, but an individual with thoughts and feelings of her own, and over time you realise (like Beck) that she isn't quite the cold, hard warrior that she first appeared to be, and deep inside she is actually more emotional then most people realise.
The way she and Beck interact with each other in the later episodes-like the 'date' at the Pool tables or just admiring the view from the top of the bridge for example-are really well written, and a big credit to the writers for creating such rounded characters.
I also want to give full marks for the story writers themselves, because the scripts they come up with are equally just has good. Some of the stories, plots and themes are really quite intelligent and deep, and there's been some really interesting (and often unexpected) plot-twists in these stories (some of which actually did take me by surprise!)
I agree with a lot of people that for a children's animated show this is really aimed at a more mature audience then young children.
I also agree with what's been said about Scars: Parts 1 & 2, in that these two episodes are one of the highlights of the entire series. The way they've added so much detail to the franchises overall timeline and STILL manage to avoid screwing it up in the process is marvellous.
One of the things that really strikes me is the way they keep coming back to the scene of the Betrayal-the scene in Legacy confronts Tron and Flynn, attacks them, Flynn runs off and Tron is (supposedly) killed.
This was the third time they've emphasised that part of the story (the first was in Legacy, the second was in Evolution when Quorra and Anon witnessed it, and now in Uprising too, although this time they included Dyson has one of the chief Guards and was also present when it happened, along with Tron's capture, torture and attempted Repurposing).
I like how they keep emphasising the particular scene as being one of the cornerstones of the entire 30 year timeline of the franchise, and that that particular scene is now one of the key turning points of the overall storyline.
I also like the episode with the train. The way they've written an entire 20 minute episode that takes place entirely on a speeding train was actually quite clever.
(Another interesting thing about that episode-which didn't occur to me until the end-was that, given that this series was mostly about Tron, the Renegade and the Uprising, to write an episode where NONE of those things were strongly emphasised was, again, quite a clever piece of writing
I have to say it has been a real joy watching how the whole story arc of this series has folded out and been developed on a episode-by-episode basis. I like how they've treated this the same way they treated Star Wars: The Clone Wars, in that they have been using this series in order to 'fill-in-the-gaps' that was established in what we saw in the movies, and also add more 'information' about certain characters and / or scenes that fans might have been asking themselves. (Scars 1 & 2 are really good examples of this).where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Sadly Tron Uprising finished it's 18 episode run here tonight (14/02/13).
However, it does appear that the Disney
channel will be re-running the series again, each and every weekday night 8pm as of tomorrow night (15/02/13)

Ah, good! It's excellent to hear it placed at a time for some better viewership!
This might offer some hope to see if Disney will truly begin to track it's influence and response, and see that it's a series worth allowing to continue - and especially along it's original developers' intents!
You seem to have quite the developed opinion, Exodus - and it's good to see. Many fans/Programs support Tron: Uprising very deeply. Some of us are also keeping a count of how many letters we've sent to Disney to both express our admiration for the writing and concept of the series, and also to ask that it be allowed a second season (at the least!).
The number of subtleties in Uprising is many, and I can easily say that I like it's nature for that very reason.
Letters sent to Disney: 7
Let them hear 'Tron lives!!'

this is not surprising at all as I had mentioned this in another thread:
Until this is concluded, would I believe that Disney will ultimately decide the fate of the show. It is ironic however that for some apparent reason, the uk favors tron more than what the states does. Thus, here is a good example by what the other poster mentioned regarding a good time frame.
