Hayward Aqua Rite Salt Generator & 40K Gal Cell
Regular Price $1,699.99 Special Price $1,539.00
The Hayward Aqua Rite In Ground Chlorine Generator is the perfect salt chlorinator to keep your residential swimming pool clean and clear without the use of harsh chemicals.
AquaRite Electronic Chlorine Generators (also known as salt chlorinators) are the largest selling system in the world. They automatically produce pure chlorine every day while the pool is being filtered and distribute it evenly throughout the pool via the return jets. Aqua Rite generators use a low concentration of salt dissolved in the pool water (below the level of taste) to produce up to 1.45 lbs of chlorine daily, enough for all residential pools up to 40,000 gallons. They are also NSF certified and approved for use on commercial and public pools. They easily install on standard filtration systems, both for new construction and on existing pools. No more mixing, measuring and messing around with liquid or tablet chlorine. Aqua Rite automatically turns common salt into a self-regenerating supply of pure chlorine.
For pool and spa water that's clean, clear and luxuriously soft. The key to Aqua Rite's chlorine generation is the Turbo Cell, a specially-designed converter connected to the control unit by a simple plug-in cord, and plumbed into the filter pump's return line to the pool. As water is pushed through the Turbo Cell, an extremely safe low-voltage electrical charge turns the salt previously added to the water into fresh, sanitizing chlorine which is then dispersed evenly throughout the pool via the return jets.
Turbo Cell Right-sized salt chlorination
Hayward now offers a new line of Turbo Cells for their salt chlorination and controls solutions. The cells come in three sizes - 40,000, 25,000 and 15,000 gallons. The new sizes enable you to right-size your pool for the most-efficient and cost-effective chlorination possible. Up-sizing the cell is ideal so as to prolong the lifespan of the cell, and to ensure the quick ability to boost chlorine production. These cells are based on the proven Turbo Cell technology that made Hayward the leader in salt chlorination. They automatically generate a self-renewing supply of fresh, pure chlorine - for water that's clean, clear and luxuriously soft.

This is another good concept from the Miami Ad School Europe. This student concept has been designed for McDonald's and is a fun approach to a product finder app. The Facebook app, Burger Roulette, offers to help find the perfect burger for your mouth. You can then share this selection on Facebook. The app is simple and has a nice mobile voucher integration which brings the campaign back to point of sale, which is often missed with Facebook campaigns. I think there could be more done to create a challenge against friends which would help to spread a campaign like this but overall a nice, simple and fun idea. What do you think?

Miscellaneous thoughts about miscellaneous matters
I sometimes find myself wondering why someone isnt minding his or her own business. And I usually to do that, but The Valley Advocate got me to do otherwise. This preference hasnt shown up in my blog often, but blogs are for people to vent their opinions. The Feature Article in the paper was about physician assisted suicide, which is an excellent example of people taking responsibility for themselves. Then when I opened the paper the first heading I saw was an opinion piece about healthy food

In this post, I am going to show you how to test your new wordpress theme easily with two handy plugins made just for that purpose.
If you are a wordpress theme designer, you know you have to do a lot to actually test your new wordpress theme. For example, you have to write articles of variable length, submit comments, write down tags for each of those posts, create new pages and more to see how things look like after you have ample content there on your new wordpress theme. In fact, few days back, I designed a brand new wordpress theme for a site I am planning to go live with and I was lucky enough that I stumbled upon these two great wordpress plugins. Fine, let's move on to see our first wordpress plugin that makes life a lot easier.
Theme Test Drive
The theme test drive wordpress plugin enables you to test any theme easily as an administrator of the blog. Your visitors will still see your default or already-chosen theme. This will happen completely behind the scenes and your visitors won't see that you have actually changed the theme. The other good thing is that if a particular theme supports some options, you can test them just as well by enabling them from the admin side.
WP Dummy Content
This is pretty useful plugin to test your new theme instantly. One of the biggest pain of wordpress theme development is that after you have created it, you have to write bunch of post to see how your theme behaves.
With WP Dummy Content, you can create any number of pages, sub-pages and post for your new theme easily just with a single button press. The titles and content are automatically created for you as well. And yes you have have few options as to the length and type of the content:
- One click content creation
- Choose type of content to insert including single paragraph, multi paragraphs, styled lists and random content.
- Delete all content with one click.
I hope this post turns out to be useful for the wordpress theme designers. And finally, do let us know if you know of some other similar plugins through your comments or feed back.
Here are some of the more plugins with good ranking you can use for testing/previewing your themes:

The idea of transposing insights from nature or organic processes into technical products was not one the ZIEHL-ABEGG development department plucked out of nowhere. Nature has had millions of years to produce perfection through process of time.
Bionic concepts
Intelligent technology combined with bionic insights are the key to the high-tech products of the future.
The world's only bionic blade concept for unsurpassed performance
Successful adaptation of key findings from studying the wing shape of the nocturnal barn owl and the fins of the humpback whale in development of the blade profile results in a blade design that is unique in the world.
Thanks to the profiled, sickle-shaped blades of the axial fan and a serrated rear edge, the FE3owlet delivers incredibly efficient flow behaviour, greater air volumes and drastically reduced noise levels. The blade shape of the fan is based on the shape of a humpback whale fin and, thanks to the ridges on the front edge of the fin, allows an optimum flow.
Bionic blade design: Axial fan with globally unique bionic blades
Essential findings from the shape of the wings of a nocturnal barn owl led to development of the FE2owlet fan. The flow noise in flight was the determining feature. The successful adaptation of these essential insights to the development of the FE2owlet blade profile – with a profiled, sickle-shaped blade and a serrated trailing edge – creates a globally unique blade design with incredibly efficient flow characteristics, larger air volumes and drastically reduced noise development than in comparable fans.
Blue steel with depth: bionic, corrugated, extremely efficient, super-silent
Following the example of the humpback whale, whose fins, when swimming in the sea, have to master similar challenges as fans do, the ZIEHL-ABEGG engineers and technicians adapted their insights into the new technology of the ZAbluefin. ZAbluefin especially profits from the whale's fin with its protrusions (tubercles) at the front, which ensures the best incident flow. Also for example the V-shaped contour of the rear fin (fluke), after for example being technically implemented in the ZAbluefin also reduces possible flow tear-off at the cover and bottom plate. This permits using the fan in many pressure range requirements.
The tree whisperer: bionic radial fan for more airflow at smaller diameters
Based on the tried and tested bionic blade concept of the Cpro impeller, insights from the growth behaviour of trees – with branches that resist winds and weather – complete the bionic blade design of the ZAvblue in the attachment and output of the cover and bottom discs. This successful adaptation in technical situations leads to an optimised efficiency at high volume flows, combined with a broad efficiency range. The highly efficient radial fan ZAvblue with its bionic light-weight construction is a perfect symbiosis of high-tech and nature with the Premium Efficiency predicate.
The new fan system for even higher efficiency
The search for a stable, material-saving and light-weight construction led the developers of ZIEHL-ABEGG to study bees. They build their honeycombs extremely stable and yet very light in weight. Any stress is distributed across the entire construction through the walls to prevent point loads. The hexagonal geometry gives the construction the required stability, while the hollow spaces save resources. The honeycomb structure of the airflow-optimised suspension thus ensures maximum stability while also being cost-optimised by saving material.

So hubby and I were trolling Colerain and he wanted Chinese food - alas we found China Chef!
It's kinda dirty and sketchy - but hell sometimes those places have the best food. So we went on in.
Not much recollection of what we ordered - but it wasn't very good. Larry got sweet & sour chicken - that's what he always gets. I got some sort of spicy shrimp dish with peanuts and vegetables. It had too many vegetables that weren't broccoli and mushrooms so I didn't like it much. I'm so hit or miss with Chinese food...either I love it or hate it.
We also ordered an appetizer - and I let Larry pick - well he picked wrong. He ordered Shrimp Toast. We've both seen this on menus before and didn't really know what it was. He asked if it had eggs - the girl said no - but once we saw it - we knew it did.
But I have to say - I was only able to eat one of the little triangles. This is the one of the ODDEST foods I have EVER eaten!
The first bite is crunchy and has this weird texture and does taste like shrimp. And you're thinking - hmmm - interesting. Then it just goes downhill from there. It's got an odd smell and it's sort of like french toast that hasn't been cooked long enough and instead of egg & milk mixture - it's like egg & fish juice mixture. It's just odd and fairly gross. The texture is the funkiest thing - soggy bread that smells like fish and is deep fried.
Don't eat it. Ever.
Why Should You Go? Don't. The rest of the food wasn't awful - but it wasn't good either.

Emotional Tommy Lasorda: Beaten Giants fan 'didn't deserve it'
An emotional Tommy Lasorda was among the many who turned out at Dodger Stadium on Monday as part of a drive-through fundraiser for Bryan Stow, the Giants fan who was severely beaten in a stadium parking lot on opening day.
Lasorda teared up as he handed volunteers a $5,000 check for Stow's relief fund.
"I shed a lot of tears. He didn't deserve it; he was a nice young man," Lasorda said later in a phone interview. "This guy is in a coma in the hospital -- I mean, come on, over a baseball game?"
The former Dodgers coach said it's important that fans come together to support Stow.
"It could have happened in any ballpark in America… I think it was very good for Dodger fans to come together to show their respect and sorrow for this young man."

If European Union leaders are looking to save some serious money, they might look no further than the "traveling circus" that is the European Parliament.
The EU assembly leads a pricey and nomadic life. Once a month, it shifts thousands of lawmakers, their staffs, translators and interpreters, to Strasbourg, France, 400 kilometers (250 miles) away, for a four-day meeting. And then it trucks them all back to Brussels again.
This tale of two cities costs European taxpayers (EURO)180 million ($230 million) a year. And it has many detractors, notably within the assembly, whose 754 members represent voters in the 27 EU nations.
Foremost among them is Edward McMillan-Scott, a British Liberal Democrat.
"If European leaders are serious about efficiency and fighting waste _ especially within the European institutions _ then the European Parliament's single-seat is a point of departure," he and three other European lawmakers wrote in a letter to the Brussels daily De Standaard. "European citizens, and more than half of the European Parliament, demand an end to that traveling circus."
The appeal was directed at the 27 EU leaders, meeting here to debate the bloc's 2014-2020 spending. In that period, McMillan-Scott estimates, the parliament's monthly Brussels-to-Strasbourg trek will cost (EURO)1.2 billion _ and emit 133,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the air.
Why has this costly roadshow been tolerated in an age of austerity? In a word, France.
Successive French governments have refused to abandon their city on the Rhine to keep the EU assembly in Brussels _ already home to the European Commission, European Council President Herman van Rompuy, scores of think tanks and embassies, and armies of lobbyists. French President Francis Hollande reiterated Friday that changing the EU treaty so the parliament can just stay in Brussels all the time wouldn't happen.
Like his predecessors, Hollande holds that the Parliament's fate was sealed in a 1992 negotiation that assigned homes to two dozen EU institutions in various cities, including Luxembourg, Copenhagen, Frankfurt and Parma, Italy. As Belgium built a vast parliament building in its capital, French opposition to Brussels left the assembly straddling two cities.
McMillan-Scott and others complain that only 6 EU capitals have air connections to Strasbourg, that Strasbourg hotels raise their rates "by an average of 100% during plenary weeks" and that the assembly building there is a safety hazard.
In recent years, opponents have reported overwhelming support in the assembly for a permanent home in Brussels. On Oct. 23, 75 percent of assembly members adopted a resolution asking EU governments to resolve the matter before summertime. Also, an online petition has been signed by 1.27 million Europeans.
Raf Casert in Brussels contributed to this report.

Sarah Assbring's latest release under the El Perro del Marr name is a tricky beast to pin down. Light as a feather, the slightest breeze seems to snatch it away as soon as you've formed an opinion. It's air thin and glass light, a blank canvas, a white sheet. It's a ghost of a record, that might be beautiful and shimmering and might merely be a transparent mist. It's either atmospheric, chilling, warm, glowing, crisp or, just maybe, it might be unspeakably dull. It's genuinely, maddeningly difficult to get a handle on.
Here's the thing - and forgive me because i'm going to have to lapse into the first person - the first time I heard Pale Fire it bored me rigid. It's the kind of dance pop that reaches for words like 'chilled' and 'light', but unlike the loping, Balearic bliss of chilled house, which puts the rhythm front and centre, the beats here are bloodless and faint. I felt like I was listening to the toplines up close, but the rhythms were provided by someones headphones from the other side of the bus. The songs themselves held no interest either: Assbringer's voice felt paper thin, a pencil tracing of fellow Swedes Robyn and Lykke Li, with barely a chorus to whisper through. I didn't want to dance, I didn't want to listen, I just wanted out. It seemed to fail on every level of a pop record.
Two days later I was getting the train home with a late autumn sun setting around me, and I was feeling miserable. Down in the dumps. Moody as all hell. It was a proper Twilight-reading teenage goth thundercloud of a mood. In a moment of self-torturing obligation, with this review in mind, I decided I needed to give Pale Fire another go just so i'd have something concrete to say, and this time something very different happened. In one of those rare moments of synchronicity the record became perfect. Matching my melancholia, it detached me completely from the crowded train, as I passed through London, crossing the river, staring out of the window the moment became utterly cinematic. Suddenly the barely-there beats felt ghostly and understated, synths I'd dismissed as plasticy and fake sounding chimed with chilly atmosphere. Assbringer's voice wasn't thin, it was detached and icy. Intriguing, ambiguous phrases floated to the surface, ("didn't you know I was a boy before you came", or "the ice on the ground is enough to believe in"). It all came together on the dark, pulsing 'To the Beat of a Dying World', as I floated in this odd moment of sadness and serenity with tears in my eyes. It occurred to me that words 'cold' and 'chilled' have the same root. It was a rare, flawless listening experience.
The next time I tried to listen the moment had gone. I couldn't focus on the record at all, my mind would slip maddeningly away. Every time I've listened the reaction has been different depending on my mood and surroundings- yet I've never replicated that perfect, miserable commute home. In that moment I was connected to this record as I have rarely been before. In that moment it was a 10/10. It was everything music should be about, capable of a transcendent impact on the human soul. A moment of complete separation.
I'll keep searching, but I don't think I'm going to get that moment back. Maybe it was a one time deal, a quirk of fate, a perfect journey where the stars aligned. I'm not even sure I want it - it wasn't exactly a happy experience, but it was a beautiful one.
A week on, and I honestly can't tell you if Pale Fire is any good. It has both bored and moved me to tears, transfixed and repelled me. This is an odd, chameleonic mood ring of a record. It's a painting that's more intriguing than it is pleasant. It's a sketch that could be a vase, or it could be two women's faces. It's a shape in the clouds, or flickering in the flames. It's a soap bubble that for a few seconds is a thing of shimmering beauty before it becomes just so much dishwater. I'm supposed to tell you if this is an album you'd enjoy listening to. The honest answer? I just don't know.

Kenny Rogers' Lawsuit Shows The Many Ways That A Major Label Screws Artists (Even The Big Ones)
from the here-we-go-again deptWe've seen this many times before, where famous musicians are totally screwed over by the major labels. A bunch of folks have sent over a summary of Kenny Rogers' lawsuit against Capitol Records (EMI), which highlights the levels to which Capitol Records went to not pay Rogers. The central facet of the lawsuit is similar to that of lawsuits that a number of artists have been filing, concerning whether or not iTunes transactions are sales or licenses -- for which massively different royalty rates apply.
However, there's plenty of other crazy things in the lawsuit, most of which involve an "audit" that Rogers requested from Capitol in April 2007... and which took until March 2009 to complete. Yes, it took two years. For a basic audit just to make sure he was getting the money he was owed. Oh, and the audit showed that he was not getting the money owed. From there, things got worse... with all sorts of stalling and foot dragging, finally resulting in the lawsuit. That stalling included repeated promises to resolve the problems and pay up. Rogers was told at times that the company was "still ironing out a few things," and then later found out that the people he'd been negotiating with were no longer at the company -- replaced by a lawyer who just told Rogers that he would be happy to work with Rogers to "promptly try to resolve the Rogers audit" -- nearly two years after the audit was completed and four years after it was requested.
Among the problems in the audit are a bunch of unprocessed royalties that were put into a "suspense" file for no reason. These kept $76,956 from Rogers. There were also actions in foreign territories where Capitol appears to have ignored the royalties it's supposed to pay Rogers. There were also things as simple as just not reporting royalties on money from record club sales. The company is also accused of playing some tax games to double count taxes to avoid paying royalties. There's also the fact that Capitol charged Rogers the full amount for a video production to his own expenses (i.e., money they'd "recoup" out of his portion of royalties), but they ignored their own contractual agreement that only 50% could be expensed that way.
Then there's the fact that Rogers wants his cut from the money Capitol has received in various lawsuits -- those against Napster, Kazaa, AudioGalaxy, Grokster, BearShare and others. As we've noted in the past, the labels have bent over backwards to avoid paying out such money to the actual artists -- but Rogers wants his piece:
Such lawsuits have resulted in Capitol Records receiving monies from entities such as Napster, Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, Grokster, BearShare, and others. Capitol Records has refused to provide Kenny Rogers with an accounting regarding the amounts actually received. A portion of the monies received by Capitol Records is attributable to the Masters and Kenny Rogers is entitled to that portion of Capitol Records" receipts. Capitol Records" refusal to account to and pay that money to Kenny Rogers has resulted in Kenny Rogers suffering direct financial harm in an amount that cannot be determined until Capitol Records provides a full, fair, and accurate accounting.There are a few other charges as well, but those are the big ones. None of this, of course, is to say that it's "ok" to infringe because the major labels are somehow "bad." But it does show just how ridiculous it is if anyone assumes the majors represent the best interests of artists in any way.

If your bail agent has pink handcuffs, then chances are she�s a Bond Chick.
If your bail agent has pink handcuffs, then chances are she�s a Bond Chick.
Now with two locations, one on Court Street in Jacksonville and the other on Cedar Street in Beaufort, the all-female bond agency, Bond Chix Bail Bonds, plans on continued growth in North Carolina as the bond agency with sassy attitudes, compassion for their clientele and the aforementioned pink handcuffs.
On a recent Tuesday morning, calls from the Onslow County Jail kept the Chix�s phones steadily ringing, which its owner says is a good indication that business is booming.
Under the ownership and guidance of Dave Mayfield, a bond agent with 18 years of experience and 35 other bail bonding agencies, Theresa Szczepaniak and JamieLea Owens manage the Jacksonville location, forming a family dynamic that they compare to Charlie�s Angels.
�Dave is our very own Bosley,� said Szczepaniak, bond agent. �JamieLea and I, along with Anastasia Taylor, who runs our Carteret location, are the Angels.�
The Chix say they share the same heart as the Angels, caring for their clients through every step of the bonding process while they dish out tough love.
�People have a preconceived notion that people who need to be bonded out are criminals or bad people, but they�re really just people,� Szczepaniak said. �We�ve been there for every step of the way for some of our clients, even after they no longer need our services, to make sure they�re staying on track. We care and we want to help make a difference in their lives.�
In operation for about a year, the Bond Chix�s bail bonding process is similar to other agencies simple for clients. The Chix are reachable 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To determine whether they want to bond out a client, the Chix review the charges, their client�s history and accounts from family members, to determine whether or not they wish to bond them out.
�It�s more of a judge of character,� said Szczepaniak. �We�ll bond out those we feel will show up in court; we give them a second chance.�
Bond Chix also has the power to write high bonds.
�Our underwriting authority is amazing,� said Szczepaniak. �We have a larger underwriting authority, unlimited executing powers, and can write any amount up to $500,000 in 30 minutes.�
The bonding fee is 15 percent of the premium.
Each bail bonding agency has its own signature style and for the Bond Chix, it�s pink.
The office is decked out in pink and black with zebra accents, an atmosphere that bond agent Owens, describes as inviting.
�It helps get our clients minds off of why they�re here,� said Owens. �It�s fun and inviting, and it gets them to come back.�
Szczepaniak said that adding Owens to the team brought more pink d�cor to the office and added to the welcoming atmosphere that brings back clients who are eager to share their stories of how they�ve turned their lives around.
�They become our children,� said Szczepaniak. �I�m a mom, it�s my nature. We ensure that the defendant goes to court and then we raise them in-between. We have a good relationship with them and they�ll come in and have coffee; fill us in about their lives.�
The Chix hope to expand their business to six or seven agencies opening statewide over the year and want to help out local support groups, shelters, and victims of abuse.
�Some of our clients are too young to know better when they get started. It usually takes a big strong hand to pull them out and show them some compassion and give them some tough love,� said Szczepaniak. �We�re trying to offer services above and beyond.
�We want to be able to help out these guys and girls.�
NEED TO MAKE BAIL? Bond Chix Bail Bonds serves Onslow, Carteret, and Craven counties. Visit them at one of their two locations, at 714 Court St. in Jacksonville or 208 Cedar St. in Beaufort. Reach the Bond Chix 24/7 at 910-355-2245 or 252-354-5000.

For once, it wasn't the red carpet fashion dos and don'ts that overshadowed the Golden Globes but host Ricky Gervais' politically incorrect jokes. And while the majority of viewers found him funny, Judd Apatow clearly wasn't amused by his caustic humor, tweeting "I thought Joan Rivers did a wonderful job hosting the Golden Globes tonight" and "Ricky Gervais should do an episode of extras where he hosts the golden globes and is out of tune. Cut to female friend looking disappointed."
The director felt that the Brit had gone too far in his quest to deflate some overinflated Hollywood egos. So he asked his Twitter followers to send him funny but less mean-spirited jokes for his stint as host of the untelevised PGA Awards, Check them out after the jump.
Besides the snarky nature of his jokes, Gervais bothered because he spoke the unspeakable truth in a brutally honest way. Too brutal for Apatow, apparently.
"If anyone has any jokes that they think are better than Ricky Gervais' post here and I will read the winners and say your name at PGA Awards," Apatow tweeted and hundreds of his 100,000+ fans responded. "Lots of #pgajokes coming in. Some excellent. Many insane. Most hateful of celebrities. Hard to be funny and not vicious. Steve Martin is king," Apatow wrote.
While most played along, others questioned the director's rant. When @delightfulcrab tweeted "@JuddApatow seems surprisingly bitter," Apatow replied, "Just at two am in Atlanta. It will pass. Better than sleeping."
Here's a selection of some of the best jokes he re-tweeted, via Entertainment Weekly:
@totallymorgan The PGA Awards are so cheap even the host had to crowd-source material.
@alecowen It's not hard to be funny and not vicious. For example, fuck you.
@nicksnow Ricky Gervais has announced plans to start an illicit dogfighting operation to begin rehabilitating his image.
@Mimekiller I see we have a lot of rich people in the audience, I hope your riches bring you satisfaction and happiness.
@Ziggypalffy why are rappers always singing songs about all the stuff they own? It's like their target audience is the IRS.
And my favorites:
@isaac_arquieta Were you all REALLY expecting @JuddApatow to pick funny jokes?? Hasn't done it in over 5 movies, Why would he start now?
(For the record, I do like his movies.)
@omitofo Inception is really about Hollywood. everyone's constantly trying to ruin your dreams so they can make a buck.
Too bad Ricky Gervais doesn't tweet. I'm sure he would have participated in Apatow's "competition" and come up with some snarky lines. I can understand that Apatow found Gervais mean-spirited, but the fact that he was tweeting about this at 2am is perhaps indicative of a deeper dislike of the comedian.
When Gervais introduced Tim Allen, Apatow tweeted, "The Santa Clause was better than The Invention of Lying," referring to the 1994 Christmas hit movie starring Tim Allen and 2009's flop with Ricky Gervais, respectively (I thought it was only his stint at the Globes that you disapproved of, Judd?) At least one follower agreed with him: "@SaraJBenincasa: to be fair, The Santa Clause was FUCKING AWESOME." Apatow retweeted her along with the following comment: "That's my point! As was toy story. Mean is too lazy for RG."
But was he really being mean or just having fun with some easy targets and saying out loud what everyone really knows and thinks anyways? He may have gone a bit far, for example using Robert Downey Jr.'s drug problems as comedy material, but he was funny. And I like to think that these A-listers have thick skin. Like Gervais said before the Globes – he felt he didn't go far enough last year and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association invited him back as host. His whole act is exactly that – an act that is so far-fetched and outrageous that it will supposedly get him "fired" from his Golden Globes hosting duties. Or maybe he wanted to leave with a bang. Gervais revealed to TMZ today that he won't be hosting the awards show a third time. "I think twice is enough," he said, although he was clearly relishing in his performance targeting Charlie Sheen, Bruce Willis, The Tourist, Scientologist Tom Cruise, Hugh Hefner and Sex and the City's "airbrushed" actresses. "I loved it more than last year actually." So did we, and at least Christian Bale and singer Bryan Adams thought he was funny, too. The singer told Popeater, "I loved Ricky hosting the Golden Globes. He doesn't give a s**t. 'Look, I'm going to say this because that's me every day'."
Riddled as the Globes are with the various scandals and lawsuit from their former publicist, they should embrace the Gervais controversy. It distracted the media away from their own troubles and for once publications other than fashion magazines were discussing the overrated awards ceremony.
As @Es_Daddy77 said:
"Lighten up, Judd. Are you one of those people that watches celebrity roasts but wishes everyone would be nicer to Carrot Top?"

Notes, Numbers & Stuff
Players are back at the park and will work out in the afternoon. Rest of weekend is uncertain as of the time of this posting.
Staff is busy prepping for the World Series. New WS banners will soon be mounted on the light poles around Citizens Bank Park. The players will wear new uniforms starting Wednesday, complete with a World Series logo. People seeking WS tickets are coming from every direction.
Keeping time
For those of you who like to keep track of time time, we won the World Championship in 1980 at Veterans Stadium at 11:29 p.m. 29 years later on the same date (Oct. 21), we won the NL Pennant at Citizens Bank Park at 11:47 p.m.
Repeat winners
Over the last 100 years, only three NL teams have won a World Series one year and made it back the following year, New York Giants (1921-22), Cincinnati Reds (1976-77) and the Phillies.
Since division play went into effect in 1969, the Reds, Atlanta Braves (1995-96) and Phillies are the only back-to-back pennant winners.
Get the facts straight
Media keeps writing we've only won two World Series in our 127 years of existence. That is somewhat inaccurate since the World Series didn't start un1il 1903 and our first season was 1883. So, for 20 years we couldn't have won a World Series!
The 2009 World Series will be number 105 (WS was not played in 1904 and 1994).
Roberts in demand
Media inquiries have been coming in for Robin Roberts, one of six living Whiz Kids who played the Yankees in the 1950 World Series. Robbie prefers to wait until the Yankees have clinched and I agree.
Phillies Insider is on twitter as barons63.
1 Comment
hopefully we'll be able to add back to back world champions to the list of Phillies accomplishments…

Ron Paul is the Only Candidate Who Will Cut Spending
Kurt Nimmo
Ron Paul is the only candidate serious about reducing the deficit and the national debt.
This fact was recently underscored by a study released by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a bipartisan think tank.
Newt Gingrich's tax and budget plans would add $7 trillion to the debt over the remainder of the decade and Rick Santorum would do about the same.
Mitt Romney's tax-cut and spending proposals would keep the deficit and debt on keel.
Ron Paul would reduce spending and slowly eliminate the debt by zeroing out a host of federal agencies. He would work to bring back honest money and sane economic policies by getting rid of the Federal Reserve – a prospect opposed by both sides of the establishment political party now ruling the roost in Washington.
"I think Ben Bernanke is a student of monetary policy," said the declared Republican front-runner Mitt Romney last year, "he's doing as good a job as he thinks he can do… I'm not going to spend my time going after Ben Bernanke. I'm not going to spend my time focusing on the Federal Reserve."
Earlier this week, ABC News commentator Jonathan Karl was asked which candidate will reduce spending the most and he said Ron Paul.
He looked a bit sheepish about it but had to tell the truth despite the concerted effort by the establishment media to ignore Ron Paul.

Bravo's new show: Work of Art - Recommend
I have always been inspired by visual artists. In fact, it's probably a fantasy of mine to be an incredible visual artist (though I'm not). So when I learned about the show on Bravo called Work of Art (designed just like Project Runaway, but for artists) I had to watch.
And even though I cancelled cable TV a week ago, I was still able to watch because most everything is available online! You can click on this link to get to Bravo and choose Work of Art Episode 1. (Do not choose any show with the words "housewives" in it or you will be highly disappointed --um, or not, depending on your taste).
And for those of you living with non-artsy people, you'll be happy to know my husband (who is a firefighter, sports lover, and soon-to-be triathlete) thought the show was really interesting and I now have a buddy to watch it with (he hooked our laptop up to our big screen with an AV cable and we watched the show together like that-- pretty cool!)
This first week they had 13 hours to create portraits of the other artists. It was really interesting to watch their processes and see how they came up with ideas. I also love that one woman is 61, one guy has never taken an art class, and one artist who is a fry cook.
I'm guessing there are "real artists" or working artists who probably won't like show because they probably think "real art cannot be made out of a series of assignments or on a television show..." but I think what this does for someone like me is to watch 40 minutes of artists (real live living and trying-to-make-it artists) creating something from nothing and seeing and hearing their thoughts and processes as I create.
I have always been interested in the background of all artwork as well as writing. I love to know where the ideas came from, what the writer or artist was thinking. I think this show gives us glimpses into this part of an artist's life that we don't normally get to see--the creation. Normally, we just see the finished project, I love that we get to see it go from the very first notes to the end.
I already have a few favorites on the show and am looking forward of watching the rest of this series to see who wins and ends up with $100K & a showing at the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
Good luck artists, I'll be watching.

Top of the pageCheck Your Symptoms
Coughing is the body's way of removing foreign material or mucus from the lungs and upper airway passages or of reacting to an irritated airway. Coughs have distinctive traits you can learn to recognize. A cough is only a symptom, not a disease, and often the importance of a cough can be determined only when other symptoms are evaluated.
For information about coughs in teens and adults, see the topic Coughs, Age 12 and Older.
A productive cough produces phlegm or mucus (sputum). The mucus may have drained down the back of the throat from the nose or sinuses or may have come up from the lungs. A productive cough generally should not be suppressed; it clears mucus from the lungs. There are many causes of a productive cough, such as:
A non-productive cough is dry and does not produce sputum. A dry, hacking cough may develop toward the end of a cold or after exposure to an irritant, such as dust or smoke. There are many causes of a non-productive cough, such as:
Children may develop coughs from diseases or causes that usually do not affect adults, such as:
Many coughs are caused by a viral illness. Antibiotics are not used to treat viral illnesses and do not change the course of viral infections. Unnecessary use of an antibiotic exposes your child to the risks of an allergic reaction and antibiotic side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, and yeast infections. Antibiotics also may kill beneficial bacteria and encourage the development of dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A careful evaluation of your child's health may help you identify other symptoms. Remember, a cough is only a symptom, not a disease, and often the importance of a cough can only be determined when other symptoms are evaluated. Coughs occur with bacterial and viral respiratory infections. If your child has other symptoms, such as a sore throat, sinus pressure, or ear pain, see the Related Topics section.
Check your child's symptoms to decide if and when your child should see a doctor.
Many things can affect how your body responds to a symptom and what kind of care you may need. These include:
You have answered all the questions. Based on your answers, you may be able to take care of this problem at home.
Symptoms of serious illness in a baby may include the following:
Symptoms of serious illness may include:
Severe trouble breathing means:
Moderate trouble breathing means:
Mild trouble breathing means:
Symptoms of difficulty breathing can range from mild to severe. For example:
Symptoms of difficulty breathing in a baby or young child can range from mild to severe. For example:
If you're not sure if a child's fever is high, moderate, or mild, think about these issues:
With a high fever:
With a moderate fever:
With a mild fever:
A baby that is extremely sick:
A baby that is sick (but not extremely sick):
Temperature varies a little depending on how you measure it. For children up to 11 years old, here are the ranges for high, moderate, and mild according to how you took the temperature.
Oral (by mouth), ear, or rectal temperature
A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.3° C (0.5° F) to 0.6° C (1° F) lower than an oral temperature.
Armpit (axillary) temperature
Note: For children under 5 years old, rectal temperatures are the most accurate.
Certain health conditions and medicines weaken the immune system's ability to fight off infection and illness. Some examples in children are:
You can use a small rubber bulb (called an aspirating bulb) to remove mucus from your baby's nose or mouth when a cold or allergies make it hard for the baby to eat, sleep, or breathe.
To use the bulb:
Don't do this more than 5 or 6 times a day. Doing it too often can make the congestion worse and can also cause the lining of the nose to swell or bleed.
Sudden drooling and trouble swallowing can be signs of a serious problem called epiglottitis. This problem can happen at any age.
The epiglottis is a flap of tissue at the back of the throat that you can't see when you look in the mouth. When you swallow, it closes to keep food and fluids out of the tube (trachea) that leads to the lungs. If the epiglottis becomes inflamed or infected, it can swell and quickly block the airway. This makes it very hard to breathe.
The symptoms start suddenly. A person with epiglottitis is likely to seem very sick, have a fever, drool, and have trouble breathing, swallowing, and making sounds. In the case of a child, you may notice the child trying to sit up and lean forward with his or her jaw forward, because it's easier to breathe in this position.
Based on your answers, you may need care right away. The problem is likely to get worse without medical care.
Based on your answers, you need emergency care.
Call 911 or other emergency services now.
Based on your answers, you may need care soon. The problem probably will not get better without medical care.
Based on your answers, the problem may not improve without medical care.
Coughing is the body's way of removing foreign substances and mucus from the lungs and upper airway passages. Productive coughs are often useful, and you should not try to eliminate them. Sometimes, though, coughs are severe enough to impair breathing or prevent rest. Home treatment can help your child feel more comfortable when he or she has a cough.
If your child has a barking cough during the night, you can help him or her breathe better by following the home treatment for a barking cough.
For more information on treating coughs and other respiratory problems, see the Home Treatment section of the topic Respiratory Problems, Age 11 and Younger.
Try a non-prescription medicine to help treat your child's fever or pain:
Talk to your child's doctor before switching back and forth between doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. When you switch between two medicines, there is a chance your child will get too much medicine.
Be sure to follow these safety tips when you use a non-prescription medicine:
Call your child's doctor if any of the following occur during home treatment:
There is no sure way to prevent a cough. To help reduce your child's risk:
For information on preventing allergies or asthma, see the topic Allergic Rhinitis or Asthma in Children.
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
You can help your doctor diagnose and treat your child's condition by being prepared to answer the following questions:

This week, Smithsonian Magazine highlights the only two women convicted of piracy in the 18th century: Mary Read and Anne Bonny. Both women were known for their cunning and ruthlessness. Originally, the two women were forced to hide their gender while serving on privateering and pirating ships.
As most Captains (of legally and illegally operating vessels) banned women from serving and even stepping foot on their ships (Blackbeard reportedly ordered all female captives to be strangled and cast overboard), they protected their precarious 'position' by disguising themselves as men. Both women participated in raids (often bloody and dangerous), were fingered in committing violent crimes (Bonny reportedly stabbed a fellow sailor in the heart to protect her identity as a woman on a sailing vessel), and ultimately served lengthy stays in prison for their participation in piracy (a capital offense in the 18th century).
To read more about these fascinating figures in history, check out the Smithsonian's' article "If There's a Man Among Ye: The Tale of Pirate Queens Anne Bonny and Mary Read."

How to Use CSS to Solve min-width Problems in Internet Explorer
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
The basic idea is to feed browsers that understand min-width the normal method (as follows) and to also feed Internet Explorer it's own special styling (which I'll explain in the following tutorial).
The CSS
body { background:#fff url(rule.gif) 20px 0; color:#000; font-family:"trebuchet ms", "times new roman", times, serif; margin:20px; padding:0; } .width { width:50%; min-width:300px; background:#fff; } .content { border:1px solid #c00; padding:5px; } .rule { width:300px; background:#c00; color:#fff; margin:1em 0; }
body - general body styling
- background: #fff url(rule.gif) 20px 0; - shows the background grid (10 pixel and 100 pixel marks).
- color: #000; - sets the font color to black.
- font-family: "trebuchet ms", "times new roman", times, serif; - sets up the font choice.
- margin: 20px; - sets the margin to 20 pixels.
- padding: 0; - sets the padding to zero.
.width - the outer div that controls the width and min-width for browsers that understand this (or just the width for Internet Explorer).
- width: 50%; - the preferred width.
- min-width: 300px; - the minimum width allowed.
- background: #fff; - sets the background color to white.
.content - The container for the content in which you can add a border and/or padding while not affecting the width and min-width.
- border: 1px solid #c00; - adds a red 1 pixel solid border.
- padding: 5px; - sets the padding to 5 pixels.
.rule - Includes a rule line to show when min-width has been reached.
- width: 300px; - sets the width to 300 pixels.
- background: #c00; - makes the background dark red.
- color: #fff; - makes the text color white.
- margin: 1em 0; - adds a top and bottom margin of 1em.
The (X)HTML

{width:50%; min-width:300px;} for non IE browsers

This div has a min-width of 300px and a width of 50%.
 The width can be any percentage and the min-width a px or em value.

this is 300px wide

Normal method demo 1
If you try the above example in any browser except Internet Explorer and resize your window, the outer container will shrink until it reaches the minimum width of 300 pixels and then it will remain at this fixed width.
For Internet Explorer only
The following steps will show how to make Internet Explorer fall into line with the conforming browsers.
Step 1
The general idea is to use a div with a left border width set to the same value as the minimum width. The theory is that borders of divs will not normally shrink once the body of the div has reached zero width.
To make sure that all other browsers will ignore this extra styling we will target Internet Explorer using the normal hack of preceding the style with '* html'.
We'll add this extra div with the class .minwidth
The CSS
* html .minwidth { border-left:300px solid #800; }
- border-left:300px solid #800; - sets the left border to 300 pixel solid dark red so that it can be seen.
The (X)HTML

{width:50%; min-width:300px;} for non IE browsers

This div has a min-width of 300px and a width of 50%.
 The width can be any percentage and the min-width a px or em value.

this is 300px wide

Step 1
All these steps will only be visible in Internet Explorer; other browsers will continue to see min-width correctly implemented.
The above example shows the left dark red border set at 300 pixels wide and the text to the right on a white background. Reducing the width of the browsers window will shrink the text width to a minimum but will not shrink the border.
Step 2
We now need to move the text left by 300 pixels so that it occupies the border width as well as the normal width. This can be done by adding another div with a left margin set to -300 pixels.
The CSS
* html .container { margin-left:-300px; }
- margin-left:-300px; - set the left margin to -300 pixel so that the contents will move over the border area.

The damage is never the same, though: Sometimes it's slight, sometimes massive, sometimes deep, and sometimes superficial. I cannot imagine a more interesting job than developing fully automatic repair methods that take such differences into account. First, the damaged area (usually just a few square millimeters), has to be measured. Then a powdered metal alloy is applied and melted with a laser, after which it immediately hardens. The newly bonded surface is then smoothed with planers. This method has many advantages over the old, standard method. It's more precise, more effective and more reliable, too."

Who needs an army of robotic killing machines when you've got planes that look so darn intimidating and futuristic? According to this blurb in the March 29, 1958 Miami News, scaring the enemy to death was a possibility with a platton of these "fantastic fliers."
PHILADELPHIA, March 29 — If the U.S. Army of the future can't beat an enemy, it may scare it to death with a platoon of flying machines like these. This is an artist's conception of air-ground vehicle designs submitted to the Army by various aircraft firms. The goal is to provide the Army with a utility vehicle that will give troops more mobility. These machines are supposed to rise vertically, hover at three feet or zip over mountains at 150 mph. They also are designed to fire rockets, duck behind hills, fly down an alley, hide amid trees and turn in their own length without touching the ground.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:04 PM GMT on January 28, 2011
For thirty days and thirty nights the rain fell in unending torrents. By the end of the biblical deluge, rivers of water ten feet deep flowed through the streets of Sacramento, and an astounding 29.28 inches of rain had fallen on San Francisco. According to wunderground's weather historian, Christopher C. Burt, in the Sierras, the moist flow of air from Hawaii--often called an "atmospheric river" or the "Pineapple Express"--hit the steeply sloping mountainsides and rose upwards. The air expanded and cooled, causing truly prodigious rains, with the mining town of Sonora receiving 8.5 feet of rain over a 2-month period. The resulting floods inundated California's Central Valley with a lake 300 miles long and 20 miles wide.
The above event occurred in January 1862, and similar extreme rain events have deluged in California seven times in the past 2,000 years--about once every 300 years. Great storms like the flood of 1862 will happen again. If the planet continues to warm, as expected, the odds of such an event will at least double by 2100, due to the extra moisture increased evaporation from the oceans will add to the air. A group of scientists, emergency managers, and policy makers gathered in Sacramento, California earlier this month to discuss how the state might respond to a repeat of the 1862 rain event--the ARkStorm Scenario. The "AR" stands for "Atmospheric River", the "k" for 1,000 (like a 1-in-1000 year event), and of course "ARkStorm" is meant to summon visions of biblical-scale deluge, similar to the great flood of 1862. The team's final report envisions the most expensive disaster in world history, with direct damages and loss of economic activity amounting to $725 billion.
"Atmospheric Rivers" was a term coined in the 1990s to describe plumes of moisture that ride up out of the subtropics into the mid-latitudes along the axis of a cold front. Traditional water vapor satellite imagery does not show these plumes very well, and it was only when microwave satellite imagery from polar orbiting satellites became available in the late 1990s that the full importance of these Atmospheric Rivers came to be revealed. Atmospheric Rivers account for a significant portion of California's cold season rainfall and snowfall, and an entire session was devoted to them at the December 2010 American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco, the world's largest Earth Science meeting.
Figure 1. The total amount of rainfall one could get if all the moisture in the air were condensed and fell out as rain is called the Total Precipitable Water (TPW). Here, TPW values from microwave satellite measurements are plotted, and show a plume of very moist air connecting the subtropics near Hawaii with Southern California. TPW vales in excess of 20 mm (about 0.8 inches, blue and warmer colors) are "Atmospheric Rivers", and are often associated with heavy rainfall events capable of causing flooding. This Atmospheric River occurred on December 21, 2010, and brought very heavy flooding rains to Southern California. Image credit: University of Wisconsin CIMSS.
California's Delta Region levees at high risk of failure
Much of Central California's water supply and agricultural areas are protected by an antiquated and poorly maintained set of levees along the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers that are in serious danger of failure during an extreme flood or major earthquake. The 1,600 miles of levees protect 500,000 people, 2 million acres of farmland, and structures worth $47 billion. Of particular concern is the delta at the confluence of California's Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, about 80 miles inland from San Francisco Bay. The Delta Region receives runoff from more than 40% of California, and is the hub of California's water supply system, supplying water to 25 million people and 3 million acres of farmland. Key transportation and communication lines cross the region. The Delta Region is home to dozens of islands with highly productive farms that have subsided to elevations as much as 25 feet below sea level. Jeffrey Mount, director of the Center for Integrated Watershed Science and Management at the University of California at Davis, said in a recent interview with MSNBC, "The chances of a catastrophic flood occurring in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta sometime in the next 50 years are about two out of three." He called Sacramento, which is only protected to a 1-in-80 year flood by its levees, "the most at-risk large metropolitan area in the country, with less than half the protection that New Orleans had. It is at extreme risk due to levee failure and subsidence."" The most serious catastrophe for the levees in the Delta Region would be a major earthquake occurring during the dry season. Such a quake would allow salt water to intrude from San Francisco Bay, shutting off the fresh water supply for millions of Californians for months. Collapse of the levees during the wet season would be less devastating, as water pressure from the relatively high flow rates of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers would keep salt water from intruding into the Delta Region. There are no good solutions to California's Delta Region water vulnerabilities, but a new $10 billion dollar canal that would route fresh water around the region is being proposed as a possible way Califoria could avoid losing its fresh water supply if a catatrophic failure of the Delta Region levees allowed salt water intrusion to occur.
A 2009 study by the California Department of Water Resources concluded:
The Delta Region as it exists today is unsustainable. Seismic risk, high water conditions, sea level rise and land subsidence threaten levee integrity. A seismic event is the single greatest risk to levee integrity in the Delta Region. If a major earthquake occurs, levees would fail and as many as 20 islands could be flooded simultaneously. This would result in economic costs and impacts of $15 billion or more. While earthquakes pose the greatest risk to Delta Region levees, winter storms and related high water conditions are the most common cause of levee failures in the region. Under business-as-usual practices, high water conditions could cause about 140 levee failures in the Delta over the next 100 years. Multiple island failures caused by high water would but could still be extensive and could cause approximately $8 billion or more in economic costs and impacts. Dry-weather levee failures [also called sunny-day events] unrelated to earthquakes, such as from slumping or seepage, will continue to occur in the Delta about once every seven years. Costs to repair a single island flooded as the result of a dry-weather levee failure are expected to exceed $50 million. The risk of flooding in the Delta Region will only increase with time if current management practices are not changed. By the year 2100, Delta levee failure risks due to high water conditions will increase by 800 percent. The risk of levee failure from a major earthquake is projected to increase by 93 percent during the same period.
The ARkStorm scenario and Great Flood of 1862 are discussed in much more detail by weather historian Christopher C. Burt in his latest post.

Wilma pounding New Zealand; Australia eyes two potential new tropical cyclones
With February nearly upon us, the traditional peak of the Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season is here. Activity has picked up markedly this week, with the formation of the year's first two Category 4 tropical cyclones, Tropical Cyclone Wilma and Tropical Cyclone Bianca. Wilma passed over American Samoa as a strong tropical storm, and hit Tonga as a Category 3 storm, causing substantial damage to the islands, but no deaths or injuries. Wilma is currently pounding New Zealand's North Island with heavy rains and strong winds, and is the strongest tropical cyclone to affect that country in fourteen years, according to weatherwatch.co.nz. Tropical Cyclone Bianca is expected to skirt the west coast of Australia over the next few days and rapidly weaken, but could bring heavy rains to the coast near Perth when it makes landfall on Sunday as a tropical storm. Of much greater concern for Australia are two potential tropical cyclones that could hit the flood-ravaged state of Queensland next week. Both the European Center and GFS models predict that the remains of Tropical Cyclone Anthony will regenerate into a tropical storm and hit Queensland early next week. A second and potentially more powerful storm is forecast by the European model to form next week in the islands to the east of Australia, and threaten Queensland at the end of the week. The GFS model has backed off on its prediction of such a storm forming. If the cyclone were to form, it would be a serious blow for Queensland, which is struggling to recover from record floods. As reported in the latest Bureau of Meteorology climate statement and flood summary, the past four months (September - December) have been the rainiest such period in Queensland's history, and the resulting flooding disaster has been Australia's most expensive natural disaster in history.

The plants looked ok. There were a few daisies which looked a little cheap to me. There was a butterfly decoration which isn't pictured and which I didn't care for. My main complaint is that the arrangement was not in a dish. It appeared to be in a basket. I chose this because I liked the look of the dish and the lush plants pictured. Also there's a $20 extra charge that is not shown until you check out. But they have you as they are affiliated with the funeral home. On the plus side the arrangement was delivered within an hour of ordering.
It is very hard to order flowers or arrangements by the internet, to know if they will really look like the picture. I want to compliment you on the beautiful arrangement. The people whom I sent it to were very happy and please with it. Thank you.

We Believe:
That there is one God, whose eternal existence is in three person; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; that all three are equal, but distinct persons. They are the divine trinity.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, that he was born of the Virgin Mary; that He died for man's redemption, that He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as our intercessor.
That the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
That the human will is free and self-controlled, that it is possible for the person who has been saved by divine grace to make shipwreck of his faith and become lost. However, the person (believer) who through grace perseveres unto the end of life has promise of eternal salvation.
That sanctification is initial at regeneration and continues progressively through the christian experience, becoming final and complete in heaven. In three Gospel ordinances: Baptism by Immersion, the Lord's Supper and Washing the Saint's feet.
That tithing is God's financial plan for supporting the work of the church here on earth. In the return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, in the resurrection of the dead; and in the final judgement.
Why do we Pray?
"But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
Hebrews 11:6

I'm always on the lookout for local Bay Are & Eco-Friendly businesses, particularly for kitchen ware. Bay Area & Eco-Friendly, kind of go hand-in-hand, which is why coming across this article about an East Bay Company called CaliBowl was very uplifting. Calibowl is bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US, primarily to the Bay Area. This will be a great boost to the local economy, and as an added perk, the product itself is really spiffy.
I've recently ordered the set of bowls pictured above, so they haven't arrived yet. What makes this bowl unique is that it's marketed as "non-spill", meaning there is an inner lip, so that when you scoop some salsa it falls into the spoon, rather than spilling out over the bowl. Granted, a little care and know-how with a couple of tortilla chips could solve the spill-over issue, the bowls are also designed for kids, which I'm guessing will help make mealtimes that much easier and less messy to deal with. I love using bowls as prep stations when I'm cooking and have to chop up various ingredients. Plus, I've been wanting to slowly convert all of my kitchen gadgets into green gadgets (both color and eco-friendliness). The cost is also considerably affordable when you look at the features specs:
- Patent pending lip around the top of the bowl is designed at an angle which pushes food onto your utensil avoiding any spillage and overflows.
- Multi-size bowls accommodate a variety of kitchen tasks
- Quantity 1-12oz low profile bowl, 1-28oz low profile bowl, 1-44oz low profile bowl with non slip bases
- Nest neatly inside one another for easy storage
- Made of Polypropylene, a plastic polymer that is exceptionally durable.
- Manufactured using 100% recycled FDA approved materials
- Dishwasher Safe
- BPA Free

Example – getting it to work:
Now you know the basic controls of the mixer in theory. The best way to learn it is learning by doing, but since this is only an instruction the next best thing is to have an example so that you get the sense of when to do what. In this example it's only one person singing with an electrical guitar, in other words a two channel mix.
Let's start with the gear. We need two stands and two microphones, one of each for vocals and guitar. We also need two XLR cables of course.
Start with sound checking the guitar. Put the microphone on the stand and put the stand in an appropriate place. (The microphone should be standing by the 12th fret facing the resonating hole.) Connect it to channel 1s' XLR jack, then press PFL and adjust the input gain. Make sure the person is playing the same thing he/she is supposed to play at the concert. When the level reaches around 0 dB, press PFL again to go back to the regular mode. Unmute the channel and move the fader towards the Unity position. Now you should hear the guitar playing through the speakers. (Assuming that you also adjusted the main fader)
Now it's time to sound check the vocal microphone. Ask the artist to sing or speak (or sound) like he/she will do later. Do the same procedure as the guitar and maybe add a little reverb. The yellow pot.
Now you know almost everything about getting the café mixer to work and it's time to move on and focus on making it sound good. In the next booklet (Mixing), you will find a little more advanced stuff.
Trouble shooting
It doesn't work, what do I do?
• Check the lead. It might be broken. If it is; label it and put it in the "Broken Things Box"
• What kind of microphones are you using? Make sure you have the phantom power on if they are condenser type (almost all of The Forest's mics are dynamic)
• Check all mute buttons and volume faders.
• Did you switch on the power on the DI-box? No more battery? It may need phantom power.
• Check the level of the signal by pressing the PFL button. Play and turn the gain until it is around the 0 limit.
It feeds back, what do I do?
• Undo what you just did.
• Turn down the volume level of the channel that is feeding back
• Cut the highest frequencies.
• Turn the microphone that is feeding back AWAY from monitor/PA/amps

DETROIT >> Tomas Tatar became an every-dayer last season.
And on Monday the Detroit Red Wings forward got paid like one.
Tatar, who was a restricted free agent, signed a three-year deal with an annual salary-cap hit of $2.75 million.
In his first full season in the NHL, Tatar, 23, scored 19 goals, had 20 assists and was a plus-12 in 73 games.
"His best years are still ahead of him," Wings general manager Ken Holland said during a phone interview. "He plays hard and goes to the hard areas. He's a very important player on our team."
Tatar, along with a number of other young forwards, was thrust into the spotlight last season due to the overabundance of injuries the Wings suffered.
"He's probably one of our top line forwards," Holland said. "We'd like to roll three lines out there that can score. That's the way we've built our team for a lot of years.
"We need to continue to get offense from a lot of our kids with Tats being one of them," Holland added.
Tatar, whose salary cap his was $630,000 last season, will still be a restricted free agent when the deal expires in 2017. Players don't reach unrestricted free agency until the age of 27. Tatar will be 26.
When the season began, Tatar could not find his way into the lineup, playing in just one of the Wings' first nine games of the season.
"I like him," Wings coach Mike Babcock said at the time. "I think he's a good player. He's a very usable player, has a knack for the net. But early going in the season, tie goes to the veteran not to the kid. That's just life. It's amazing how that works. We'll get it worked out."
Tatar was coming off being named the American Hockey League MVP after leading the Grand Rapids Griffins to win the 2013 Calder Cup, scoring 16 goals to go with five assists in 24 games.
"We couldn't have done it without them," Babcock said when asked about how the youngsters helped the club qualify for the postseason for a 23rd consecutive season. "They came here and took jobs, they're not going anywhere. They're real good players that keep getting better and will be part of us for a long time."
Tatar, who was the Wings' 60th overall pick in the second round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, has played 100 games with Detroit, totaling 24 goals and 23 assists.
Defenseman Danny DeKeyser is the lone restricted free agent left to sign and Holland doesn't see getting a deal done to be a problem prior to training camp.
The Wings now have 14 forwards, six defensemen and two goalies signed to one-way contracts, which brings their payroll close to $64 million, leaving them just over $5 million in cap space. This year's salary cap is $69 million.
That money will be used to sign DeKeyser and possibly Daniel Alfredsson, who won't know if he's returning to the team until a couple weeks before training camp that begins Sept. 18 in Traverse City.

Boot Failure When Fedora 12 Grub Installs to non-MBR Partition
I prefer to keep Windows on the MBR. So I install grub to a separate partition. I then allow the Windows Loader to chainload grub (example).
I noticed a problem with the Fedora 12 Anaconda Installer. If I chose to install grub to the First sector of boot partition instead of the MBR, I get an un-bootable system.
It is easy to see the problem if you compare fdisk output. (I reduced the output for clarity)
Before I installed Fedora 12 32-bit to /dev/sda10
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 2089 16779861 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 6268 36479 242677890 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda10 23762 25589 14683378+ 83 Linux /dev/sda14 34076 36192 17004771 83 Linux /dev/sda15 36193 36478 2297263+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
After I installed Fedora 12:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 2089 16779861 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 6268 36479 242677890 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda10 * 23762 25589 14683378+ 83 Linux /dev/sda14 34076 36192 17004771 83 Linux /dev/sda15 36193 36478 2297263+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
The boot flag is set to the wrong partition.
To fix this problem
Just boot with a CD/DVD, choose "Rescue" mode and run fdisk at the shell to change the boot flag. If you need more help, details follow:
- Boot with the system using your Fedora DVD or CD#1.
- Select "Rescue installed system". (Select the proper settings, networking is not necessary)
At the "Rescue" screen, you can "Skip" the mounting of your installed system.
At the "First Aid Kit quickstart" menu, Select "shell".
- At the shell prompt, use fdisk (BE CAREFUL!)
bash-4.0# fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): a (toggle bootable flag) Partition number (1-15): 10 (the partition you installed Fedora) Command (m for help): a (command needs to be run twice) Partition number (1-15): 1 (the partition with MBR) Command (m for help): p (verify everything looks correct) Command (m for help): w (write table to disk and exit) The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disk.
- Reboot.
I doubt this will affect many people since most people choose to install Fedora directly to the MBR. However I am reporting here in case someone else might find this useful. I noticed this a few days ago on Fedora 12-Beta 64-bit, but I had been too busy to check the bug reports. Will do that soon.
If you run into this problem (or similar) please leave a comment or contact me.
UPDATE: Should be fixed for Fedora 13. Bug 533658
