Ohio IT professional Rick Pollack founded MakerGear, LLC in 2009 to "develop products and services for the rapidly expanding maker community with a focus on advancing digital fabrication." Working with wife Karen, Rick has already brought two fully-developed desktop 3D printers to market—a well-regarded Prusa Mendel kit and their premium design, the Mosaic—as well as a line of accessories and upgrades for each.
I recently got my hands on a Mosaic kit, and as of this writing, I'm about halfway done with it. So far, I'm impressed with how easily it's all going together. I'll be documenting the build, in stages, over the next few weeks, and introduce the series with Part I: The Frame. If you're considering a Mosaic, I hope the series will help you understand how it goes together, and, if you've already bought one, I hope it will be a useful reference during assembly.

BERLIN (Reuters) - European countries deliberating on the payment of delayed loans to Greece could decide to bundle several tranches together in a single transfer of roughly 44 billion euros, a German government source said.
Under the terms of its second bailout programme, Greece was due to receive 31.2 billion euros by the end of June, plus an additional 5 billion by the end of September and 7.2 billion euros by the end of December.
The sources said these three payments could be combined to avoid stoking uncertainty with further deliberations on tranches in the coming weeks and months.
A German finance ministry spokeswoman said no final decision had yet been made on further loan payments to Greece under its second international bailout programme.
Earlier, the euro rose to a session high and German Bund futures fell on a report in the Bild newspaper that the tranches could be bundled.
Loans have been held up since Athens went off track with promised reforms and budget cuts, partly as a result of holding two elections in the space of three months earlier this year.
Earlier on Tuesday, Greece's international lenders clashed over how to help the stricken country bring its debts down to a sustainable level.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, anxious to avoid losses for her taxpayers ahead of Germany's federal elections next September, is resisting IMF calls for euro zone governments to write off some of the Greek debt they hold.
However, French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said bailout money should flow to Athens by the end of November. (Reporting by Gernot Heller; Writing by Gareth Jones. Editing by Jeremy Gaunt.)

Don Davis, who played the cantankerous father-figure of the Stargate SG-1, Major General George Hammond, passed away on June 29. We'll always remember Davis' terrific performance as the dad-like presence who yelled when he had to and made Teal'c roll his eyes with his bad jokes.
SG-1's producer, Joe Mallozzi shared that his favorite memory of Davis' was watching him work the conventions with fans. Many fans approached the General with trepidation (because of his character) but Davis was always incredibly charming with the fans and won them over immediately. Mallozzi also added that Davis was a true friend and, "had a bigger heart than his character that he played... and will be missed not just by the fans but by everyone who worked with him."
Davis' last Stargate appearance will be in the DVD movie Stargate: Continuum. We'll miss you always setting the crew straight, Don.
Davis' representatives have asked those wishing to make a charitable donation in Davis' name to donate to the American Heart Association.

Stanton homers, gives Marlins win over Brewers
Milwaukee's 4-game winning streak ends
Giancarlo Stanton hit his first homer since coming off the disabled list, a two-run drive with two outs in the eighth inning that lifted the Miami Marlins to a 5-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
With Juan Pierre on first, Stanton connected on the first pitch from Jim Henderson (2-2), sending a drive over the wall in left-center. It was his fourth home run this year. He was activated from the DL on Monday.
Chad Qualls (2-0) pitched a perfect eighth and Steve Cishek a scoreless ninth for his seventh save.
Derek Dietrich had a two-run homer for Miami, which has won three of four.
The Brewers took a 4-3 lead in the seventh when Yuniesky Betancourt tripled in a run to tie it before scoring the go-ahead run on pinch-hitter Scooter Gennett's suicide squeeze.
Milwaukee's four-game winning streak was snapped.
Wily Peralta allowed three runs and five hits - all in the second inning - with a walk and a strikeout in six innings.
Jacob Turner gave up four runs - three earned - and five hits in seven innings. He walked two, struck out six and threw two wild pitches.
After Rickie Weeks walked with one out in the seventh, Betancourt hit a line drive to right. Stanton ran to his left and slid feet first but failed to stop the ball from getting past him for a triple.
Betancourt broke from third as Gennett, hitting for Peralta, laid down a bunt to third baseman Ed Lucas. Betancourt scored before Lucas threw out Gennett.
Dietrich's two-run homer highlighted Miami's three-run second.
Marcell Ozuna opened with a single and scored on Logan Morrison's double to left-center. Dietrich followed with his sixth home run, a shot to right.
Milwaukee scored an unearned run in the fourth to make it 3-1.
Carlos Gomez led off by reaching first when Turner threw a wild pitch on a swinging strike three. Gomez advanced to third on Turner's errant pickoff throw and scored on Jonathan Lucroy's sacrifice fly.
Milwaukee manufactured a run in the sixth to get to 3-2.
Jean Segura opened with a single off Lucas' glove and then stole second. He advanced to third on Gomez's grounder to second and scored when Aramis Ramirez grounded out to third.
Morrison doubled leading off the seventh but was stranded at third.
NOTES: The crowd of 13,110 was a season-low at Marlins Park. ... LF Ryan Braun (right thumb) was not in the Brewers lineup for a second straight night. Braun and the Brewers hope a trip to the disabled list can be avoided. ... Marlins manager Mike Redmond said OF Chris Coghlan would be "out for a while" after an MRI showed a back strain. Coghlan was put on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with what then was called a right calf nerve irritation.

(ScienceDaily) – Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. In fact, only about 45 percent of emitted carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere.
December 31, 2009
However, some studies have suggested that the ability of oceans and plants to absorb carbon dioxide recently may have begun to decline and that the airborne fraction of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions is therefore beginning to increase.
Many climate models also assume that the airborne fraction will increase. Because understanding of the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide is important for predicting future climate change, it is essential to have accurate knowledge of whether that fraction is changing or will change as emissions increase.

Miller/O'Neill/Hyde, building on the success of the first and second edition, Beginning Algebra 3/e continues to offer an enlightened approach grounded in the fundamentals of classroom experience. The practice of many instructors in the classroom is to present examples and have their students solve similar problems. This is realized through the Skill Practice Exercises that directly follow the examples in the textbook. Throughout the text, the authors have integrated many Study Tips and Avoiding Mistakes hints, which are reflective of the comments and instruction presented to students in the classroom. In this way, the text communicates to students, the very points their instructors are likely to make during lecture, helping to reinforce the concepts and provide instruction that leads students to mastery and success. The authors included in this edition, Problem-Recognition exercises, that many instructors will likely identify to be similar to worksheets they have personally developed for distribution to students. The intent of the Problem-Recognition exercises, is to help students overcome what is sometimes a natural inclination toward applying problem-solving algorithms that may not always be appropriate. In addition, the exercise sets have been revised to include even more core exercises than were present in the previous edition. This permits instructors to choose from a wealth of problems, allowing ample opportunity for students to practice what they learn in lecture to hone their skills and develop the knowledge they need to make a successful transition into Intermediate Algebra. In this way, the book perfectly complements any learning platform, whether traditional lecture or distance-learning; its instruction is so reflective of what comes from lecture, that students will feel as comfortable outside of class, as they do inside class with their instructor.

I was thinking about creating a Hoss facebook page. Would any of you guys have an interest in such a thing? You know, posting screenshots, shenanigans, etc.
This would not really be a replacement for the forums here. Things like guild applications, boss strats, etc should still go on the forums.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts . . . either way.

Old Dominion ends skid, beats George Mason 71-66
NORFOLK, Va. — Aaron Bacote scored 20 points and sank five free throws in the final 7 seconds as Old Dominion fended off a second-half rally to beat George Mason 71-66 on Saturday night.
The Monarchs (6-9) were up 11 at halftime but some iffy free throw shooting late — 3 of 8 at one point — allowed George Mason to twice get within two points in the final 10 seconds. The Patriots (7-7) ended the game on a turnover and a missed 3-pointer. Old Dominion made only six baskets after halftime and went 28-46 at the line (18-35 second half) but it was enough to end a two-game skid and also beat George Mason for the first time in six games.
Sherrod Wright led George Mason with 25 points and Bryon Allen added 18.
Wright scored 18 points after halftime, twice bringing the Patriots within five points in the closing minutes.

Am waiting for galbladder op, and so on very low fat diet. Scaled down the recipe to make a single portion just for me. I didn't have any rocket, so added some frozen peas right at the end. Also I left off the parmesan (sob), and squeezed some lemon juice over it. It was delicious. And fabulously quick!

As a very proud (and absolutely wonderful!) mother of five, I can testify that this recipe is like a gift from heaven, and beyond!

The Wrangler was redesigned for the 2007 model year. At the same time, a four-door version was introduced and named Wrangler Unlimited. The four-door doesn't change the character of the Wrangler but makes it easier to own and more practical for many. It's much more comfortable and convenient, offering more cargo and back-seat passenger space.
After its 2007 redesign, the Wrangler gets only minor changes for 2008. A tire-pressure monitor is now standard, remote engine starting is available, and the Sunrider soft top becomes standard on more models.
All Wranglers come with the V6; four-cylinder models are not available. The standard six-speed manual fits the Wrangler's personality, but the optional four-speed automatic is convenient. We can't imagine getting a Wrangler without it's highly capable four-wheel-drive, a part-time system that includes low-range gearing.
The 2008 Jeep Wrangler and four-door Unlimited come in Wrangler X, Sahara and Rubicon trim. All use a 3.8-liter V6 engine with 202 horsepower (205 hp in Unlimiteds), a six-speed manual transmission, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. A four-speed automatic transmission ($825) is optional.
Two-door and Rubicon models are only available with four-wheel drive (4WD). The Unlimited X and Unlimited Sahara come with rear-wheel drive (2WD) or 4WD.
The Wrangler X ($18,660) comes with the basic soft top, vinyl upholstery, center console, theft deterrent system, folding rear seat, locking glove box, 12-volt auxiliary power outlet, tilt steering wheel, six-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo, skid plates to protect the transfer case and fuel tank, and P225/75R16 all-terrain tires on steel wheels.
Options for X include a Quick Order package with air conditioning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, cloth upholstery, height-adjustable driver's seat, compass, outside-temperature indicator, floormats, the Sunrider soft top with sunroof, and P255/75R17 all-terrain tires on alloy wheels ($2,840); a Power Convenience group with power windows, door, alarm, and remote keyless entry ($585); a Black Appearance group with a black fuel filler door, taillight guards and side steps ($620); a Trailer Tow group ($295 manual, $245 automatic); a limited-slip differential ($295); a locking rear axle for the 4WD model ($750); half metal doors (no charge); the Sunrider soft top ($250); the Freedom Top hard top ($945); a package with both the three-piece hardtop and the standard soft top ($1,585); air conditioning ($895); six-disc CD changer ($350); a 368-watt Infinity sound system with six speakers and subwoofer ($395); Sirius satellite radio ($195); fog lights ($120); side steps ($395); front and rear tow hooks ($75); an electronic disconnecting front sway bar for the 4WD model ($750); P245/75R16 all-terrain tires ($150); and 16-inch alloy wheels ($425).
The Sahara ($24,115) is the premium model in the lineup. It adds the Sunrider top; Yes Essentials cloth upholstery; height-adjustable driver's seat; air conditioning; cruise control; fog lamps; 368-watt Infinity sound system with six speakers and subwoofer; leather-wrapped steering wheel; tow hooks; fog lamps; compass; outside temperature indicator; body-colored fender flares; tubular side steps; heavy-duty suspension; tinted windows; and P255/70R18 Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires on aluminum wheels.
Options include many of the X options, plus Options Jeep's MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment system with 20-gigabyte hard drive and navigation system ($1,275) and remote engine starting ($185).
The Rubicon ($27,220) is the model for serious off-roading. To the X model, the Wrangler Rubicon adds amenities such as air conditioning, leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, height-adjustable driver's seat, floormats, compass, outside temperature indicator, and a 368-watt Infinity sound system with six speakers and subwoofer. It also adds off-road equipment that includes front and rear tow hooks, rock rails, off-road suspension, an electronic-disconnecting front stabilizer bar to enhance off-road capability, a Rock-Trac heavy duty part-time transfer case with 4:1 low range, Dana 44 front and rear axles, a 4.10 axle ratio, Tru-lok locking front and rear differentials, fog lights, and LT255/75R17 (32-inch) BFGoodrich all-terrain tires on aluminum wheels.
The four-door Unlimited X comes with either 2WD ($20,580) or four-wheel drive ($22,580). Standard equipment includes all that the two-door X offers, plus cloth upholstery, height-adjustable driver's seat, split folding rear seat, 60/40-split folding rear seat, Sunrider soft, top, Dana 44 rear axle, 23-gallon fuel tank, air conditioning, and a 60/40 split rear seat. It offers all the options as the two-door X and two-door Sahara.
The Unlimited Sahara two-wheel drive ($25,490) and four-wheel drive ($27,490) is equippe
Walk Around
The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most widely recognizable vehicles in the world. The '07 redesign retained its traditional look. The latest generation looks quite similar to the previous generation, which ended with the 2006 model year.
Up front you'll find the classic round headlamps, Jeep's seven-slot grille, and a front bumper with integrated fog lamps. The upright fold-down windshield is slightly curved for better aerodynamics and reduced wind noise.
Identifying a Wrangler Unlimited is easy: Just count the doors. Unlimited models have four doors.
Along the sides, all Wranglers have assist steps under the doors to make climbing in easier, and fender flares that are bolted on, so they can be easily taken off and replaced with cooler aftermarket flares. The bumpers, step assists and fender flares are all sturdy, flat-black plastic on the X.
The standard soft top is relatively easy to remove and install. The Sunrider soft top slides back half way, like a huge sunroof over the front seats. The optional three-piece modular hardtop (Freedom Top) has two front panels that easily pop on and off like a T-top, and can be stored behind the rear seat. The third panel over the rear seat can be removed separately and stored in the garage. The Freedom Top yields a total of six open-air possibilities.
Under the body, there's a boxed frame with seven cross members. Wide spaced frame rails cradle the fuel tank between the wheels. Three skid plates protect the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan.
Wranglers have traditionally been known as cramped inside. The current Jeep Wrangler two-door is a lot roomier inside than pre-2007 models, thanks to its increased width. The comfortable high-back front seats, using a handsome stain-resistant gray or khaki-colored fabric in the Sahara and Rubicon, offer 5.1 inches more shoulder room and 4.6 inches more hip room than previous-generation models. The removable rear seat provides 3.9 inches more shoulder room, 1.6 inches more hip room and 1 inch more leg room for each of the two passengers. There's also 2 more inches behind the rear seat, which folds to provide nearly twice the cargo capacity as before.
The larger Unlimited offers more than 86 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded flat. Jeep claims that's more cargo space than the Toyota FJ Cruiser, Hummer H3, or Nissan Xterra offer. The headrests flip back, so they don't need to be removed, making it easy to switch between cargo and back-seat passenger modes. In the rear seat, the Unlimited offers 1.6 more inches of leg room and a whopping 12 inches more hip room than two-door models. That huge difference is because in the regular Wrangler, the rear passengers sit directly over the axle and between the wheel wells; in the Unlimited, the axle is located behind them. That also greatly improves the ride for back-seat riders in the Unlimited.
The layout of the clean instrument panel is excellent, against a background of dull (neither flat nor gloss) black plastic. The instruments, including the optional compass and temperature gauges, are easy to read, and the controls are soothingly simple. The solid square buttons look good and are easy to understand and operate. There's a nice leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, with a short cruise-control stalk that's out of the way on the right side. The materials are made of sturdy plastic that works well in the utilitarian Wrangler.
The 368-watt Infinity sound system comes with seven speakers, including a subwoofer. That's a lot of speakers for a Jeep, but we think this is a good thing. It comes with Sirius satellite radio, good for keeping up with the news when out in the boonies. Located under the sound system controls are big climate control knobs, with buttons for available power windows above that.
Jeep's MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment System comes with a 6.5-inch touch screen, a 20-gigabyte hard drive and a navigation system with voice control and real-time traffic information. The hard drive holds songs, pictures and navigation map information. CDs can be ripped right to the hard drive, and songs and pictures can be transferred via a USB port. A Gracenotes database sorts songs by artist, track and song title. We'd definitely spring for the navi with real-time traffic reporting.
Between the seats are the shift lever, a short four-wheel-drive lever, two cupholders, emergency brake handle, and a console that's wide and deep, if not long. The locking glove box is pretty big and there's a convenient grab handle above it. This is a Jeep, after all, so the grab handle will be used in the bouncy bits.
The modular Freedom Top for the Unlimited features sections above each passenger that easily lift off after twisting a fastener. These sections can be stored behind the rear seat. The larger section over the rear seat can also be removed but can't be stored in the vehicle; you'll have to leave it at home. We found storing the two roof panels eliminates most of the cargo space. Cargo space is not unlimited in the Unlimited. We couldn't fit four carry-on-sized bags behind the rear seat. And watch out for the rear glass on the Freedom Top; it rises on its own when opened, and will whack you on the chin (or forehead, or nose) if you forget to step back.
Driving Impressions
If you've never owned or driven a Wrangler, you might think it's twitchy and choppy, and it is indeed twitchier and choppier than almost anything else on the road. But it's a relative thing. Compared to a '92 Wrangler, the current model feels like a luxury liner.
Compared to the last-generation Wrangler, the wheelbase has been increased by 2 inches and the track by 3.4 inches; the chassis has been stiffened and the suspension redesigned. All these things yield significant improvements in the ride and handling, but still, on city streets, the Wrangler is pretty bouncy, and out on the freeway it can feel squiggly over pavement changes. The driver needs to pay attention to keep the Wrangler going in a straight line.
That said, we drove the Wrangler at speeds up to 85 miles per hour on the open freeway, and it was stable and surprisingly quiet, when the pavement was smooth. When it was even slightly rough, we had to move into the smoother passing lane to find comfort.
However, it's important to note that our Sahara had the 18-inch wheels with Bridgestone Dueler on/off-road tires and high-pressure gas-charged shock absorbers. Standard on the Sahara are 18-inch Goodyear Wrangler SRA on/off-road tires with those shocks. The Wrangler X uses 16-inch Goodyear Wrangler STs, also on/off-road, but the shocks are low-pressure, so that combination might offer the best ride, with the standard Sahara setup somewhere in between the two.
The 3.8-liter V6 that comes standard on all Wranglers is an overhead valve engine. It makes 202 horsepower (205 in the Unlimited) and 232 pound-feet of torque (240 in the Unlimited) at 4000 rpm.
Acceleration is good, but on those long uphill 75-mph grades between Lake Tahoe and San Francisco, the Jeep kept kicking down out of overdrive, fourth gear, until we turned the overdrive off (our Sahara was equipped with the Trailer Tow Group option). More torque at lower rpm might have prevented this. We didn't have the opportunity to test the standard six-speed manual transmission, but we're inclined to suggest it might be more compatible with the Jeep than this four-speed automatic.
The Wrangler Unlimited would have been a different animal on this road. The ride is significantly smoother and the handling more stable, thanks to a wheelbase that's 20.6 inches longer. The Unlimited also weighs 315 pounds more, so the engine will work a bit harder. However, all 4WD Wranglers are EPA-rated at 15 city and 19 highway miles per gallon.
When we drove the Unlimited around Lake Tahoe, there were a lot of other Jeeps on the road, and our four-door never failed to turn heads. At the view points, fellow Jeepsters came over to ogle and marvel. Every one of them said they wanted to go home and trade in their two-door on the new four-door Jeep.
We were also behind the wheel of an Unlimited with the six-speed manual transmission on the rugged Rubicon Trail, where its capability was downright dazzling; in low range and first gear on the most challenging sections, we drove without using our feet: merely steering over daunting obstacles, and letting the vehicle do the rest. It's safe to say that the two-door Wrangler would be fairly astonishing.
The only limitation with the Unlimited was its turning radius of 41.2 feet versus 34.9 feet with the two-door. Six feet is a big difference. In San Francisco, we used the two-door's tight turning radius to make a U-turn in the middle of a street to snatch a parking space on the other side.
The Jeep Wrangler is one of the most capable off-road vehicles available today. Its four-wheel drive system also offers all-weather security and its convertible body style offers open-air fun. The Unlimited body style has greater cargo capacity, making the Wrangler more practical. You'll give up a lot of ride and handling prowess, as well as fuel mileage, but the Wrangler is fun.

Remember Google+? Do you remember its coolest feature? That's right, the Hangout. The free video conferencing service is easy to use and easy to share, making for one of the — if not the — best formats on the internet for discussion. Those discussions can be embedded in sites, saved to YouTube for viewing in the future, and they can be made completely private or totally open. If it's not something you use regularly, and you actually know people that you like to talk to, you're missing out.
Tomorrow at 2pm (eastern) Geek.com is going to kick off its first ever Geekout. It's a Google Hangout on Air, in other words a hangout between a group of people (us) that can be viewed by other people (you). It's like a podcast with video, that doesn't require you to install iTunes, where you can drop us a comment if we get boring. OK, so it's not much like a podcast, but it's going to be fun and it'll give you a chance to interact with a few of the Geek.com staffers.
The Hangout on Air will run from 2-3pm tomorrow. This week we're going to show off the new Chromebook Pixel, talk a little about Mobile World Congress, and give our thoughts on the upcoming PlayStation 4. We'll even take some time to talk about new things going on in the world of science, as well as the latest apps that are keeping our phones and tablets busy. As we do more of these, we'll start having guests join us for interviews, and whatever else you think we should be talking about. I'll be participating, as will Google+ social butterfly Russell Holly. Other Geeks and Friends of Geek might stop by as well, you'll just have to tune in to see.
If you're already using Google+, be sure to add our page to learn more about what's coming up in future Hangouts. We will also be broadcasting live on YouTube, where you'll be able to comment both in real time and when the video is up for viewing afterwards. Our goal is to make this as interactive as possible, so feel free to let us know what you think as we do more of these.
After the Geekout is over, we'll save it to the site's YouTube channel so you can follow up if you were unable to watch live.

"Delian Music Caters to the Beginning Music Student"
After being in the music retail business for so many years (since 1947), Delian Music pretty much takes the guess work out of first-time buyers of musical instruments. When customers come to Delian to sign up for music lessons, they also need a good inexpensive entry-level instrument so they can practice their lessons. Instead of having every major brand name under the sun for every wallet and level of player, Delian offers just one or two models of the BEST of what they consider good entry level instruments because they cater to the beginner. Delian does not sell the most expensive nor the least expensive instruments. For example, they sell one model of a classical nylon-stringed guitar for, one steel stringed acoustic guitar for adults for $129.00 and ¾, ½ and 5/8 size guitars for children and/or small women starting at $39.95and cases to match. They also offer a 5 piece drum set complete with all of the hardware, cymbals, stands¸ throne and sticks for $599.99 which is an incredible deal – or a snare drum kit which includes the snare drum, stand, sticks, carrying bag and practice pad complete starting at $199.99. "The last thing a person needs is to be confused about a beginning first-time instrument. This is where my almost 30 years of being in this business pays off," says Candace Blankenship. "You can use my expertise and years of shopping for music instruments. Even though our instruments are entry level, you would still be proud to own one for years to come." Delian Music is not a catalog company and they aren't a music mega-store. Delian Music is a small neighborhood store that concentrate their efforts on first time music instrument buyers and students.
A good option for beginners who can't make up their minds about what instrument to learn is to sign up for either four or twelve lessons and split the lessons among different instruments. This also works for parents who want their children to take one instrument and the child wishes to learn another instrument. This is where a compromise makes both the parent and the child happy.
In addition, we have a great drum accessory department, including many styles of drum sticks, mallets, brushes, drum heads, tambourines, latin percussion accessories – afuches, cabasas, claves, maracas, bongos, drumheads, bell kits, and snare kits. Other items include band instrument accessories and microphone accessories and a good selection of different styles of music stands. We also carry ukuleles- soprano and baritone-mandolins, many kinds of recorders, guitar and bass strings, guitar cables, cases, straps and stands. We have every size of violins and violas –from ¼ to 4/4 size- cellos and all of the string instrument accessories. Band instruments include new and used flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets and trombones. Contact us for more information.

Two thoughts:
First, the vendors at the Farmers' Market know the customers stop from about 2:30 to 5:30, not the 4 to 7 p.m. the town advertises. Also, there may be liability issues with the vendors being on the grass near the highway, but it is much more lucrative on that grass section than in the "park."
Second, the Dolores Community Center does not compete very well for rates vs. other locations in the area that offer $50/day, so maybe the issue is that the Dolores Community Center is overpriced and could be busier if the price was lower and had more use-days.
Just a couple of thoughts.

The House Party idea sounds like the best one to me. Free swag? Who wouldn't want it? But can you charge your guests or do they have to come in for free?
How Helping a Company Can Benefit You
Last month, I wrote about earning some extra money by taking free online surveys. The comments received regarding the article ranged from, "I love surveys, too" to "I never qualify for any." Like anything in life, you have to find what works for you. Today I am going to share with you another way you may be able to make a little extra money, receive some free products to try, and share your opinions.
Companies are always looking for customer feedback. In their efforts to reach as many new customers as possible, many companies have created panels that anyone can join. The variety of panels that are available is amazing and there seems to be something for everyone. I am going to highlight a few of the panels that I belong to and my experience with them.
New Balance Wear Test Program (shoes)
New Balance is looking for people who are willing to test out shoes that they are thinking of bringing to market. They will send you a pair of shoes, ask you to wear them for a period of time, and then comment on them via surveys.
The Pro: You get to try out shoes before anyone else!
The Con: You have to return the shoes once the trial period is over (they cover shipping).
My Experience: I have tried out two pairs of shoes for them over the past year. It took about six months after I signed up before I was sent my first pair. I enjoyed trying them and getting responses from people who noticed I had new shoes on.
J.C. Penney Community (retail)
J.C. Penney is looking for opinions on many topics. They have an online forum set up to gather this information. They send out emails when a new poll or survey is available. They are looking for opinions on commercials, new products, etc.
The Pro: The surveys and polls are quick, and there are not that many to take each month.
The Con: They are just now starting to compensate members in some way.
My Experience: I received my first $10 free coupon from them for participating in the community and was sent a complete set of towels to test for them for free, which I did not have to return.
CVS Advisor Panel (retail)
CVS wants to hear from you! You must have a CVS ExtraCare card to apply. They will send you surveys from time to time on various topics.
The Pro: The surveys usually only take about five minutes of your time.
The Con: They do not send out a lot of surveys.
My Experience: I have completed a few surveys, and they sent me a $5 free coupon via e-mail for my time.
House Party
House Pary allows you to host parties sponsored by a brand to check out their latest products. They have an application process for each new party they are offering. The applications take about five minutes to complete.
The Pro: They send you a huge box of items to share with your friends and family.
The Con: There are so many people applying! When you are chosen they send you an e-mail. They send emails out to more people then they can accept so if you do not respond to the email quickly you might miss out.
My Experience: I have applied for around 20 parties and have been accepted to host six. I absolutely love all the free items I receive to share with my friends. My favorite was a Chef Michael's dog food party. I invited friends that had dogs, and we had a party in my backyard. All the dogs got along wonderfully and we had a contest to see which dog could eat their food fastest. All the attendees left with free dog food, dishes and coupons sent in the House Party kit.
BzzAgent is another word-of-mouth marketing network. You create an account online and they will email you when they have a campaign they think you would be a good fit for. You fill out a survey before and after receiving the products. Depending on the product you are promoting, you could receive coupons or actual products to share.
The Pro: It is normally very easy to be accepted and receive products.
The Con: They ask that you track each conversation you have with a person about the product and enter each conversation into the computer.
My Experience: I have been a member for about four years. I have received many great products to share with my friends and family but have noticed in the past six months that the offers have slowed down quite a bit.
Most magazines have their own panels where they will ask for your opinion. Usually the panels are on a past issue that you might have read and sometimes they are geared toward certain products. Most magazines do not compensate you, but will enter you into contests. One exception for me was All You Magazine. They sent me a box as a thank you gift about one month ago. It had a lot of random items in it, but it was fun to receive and feel appreciated for my feedback.
I have only touched on a few companies. There are many more out there and I have accumulated a list of some of my favorites. Some companies offer rewards for products purchased, such as Disney Movie Rewards, Huggies and Pampers.
I hope that this information will help you in your search for ways to earn a little extra money and share your opinions.

Some people have asked me what do I mean by "Practical Kamitic Spirituality?" Well, before answering I have to say that it amazes me that whenever someone talks about Kamitic spirituality (or spirituality in general), the first thing that they want to discuss is metaphysics. They come in talking about astrology, the stars, etc. when I ask one question like, "Do you have any peace?"
I feel like Neo talking to the Source. Like…
"DUDE…WTH are you talking about?"
"I asked you a simple Yes or No question.
And you gave me a whole search engine of answers."
I mean, I ain't mad or anything becuz I use to be just like this equating knowledge/information as wisdom. It took me a "minute" to figure out that true spirituality can't be learned from a book anyway, because books are nothing but guides. They can point you in the right direction but they can't make you live maa (truth).
Now don't get me wrong. Metaphysics, history, science, religion, philosophy, etc. are all dope and I use to study all of these subjects in order to help me make sense of life. The goal of course was that through studying these subjects somehow I would become more enlightened and develop a more intimate relationship with God by merging consciousness with the Divine. I had dreamed that through these efforts I would be able to accomplish anything because I was finally one with God. Then something remarkable happened.
That's right. I woke up (hahaha).
Fortunately I had someone who helped me to understand. That the expansion of the mind and spirit, in order to achieve oneness with the Divine is great, but if the mystical way cannot help you to be a better husband or wife, have a healthier body, pay your bills on time, be a better friend, etc.? Then it is useless.
A practical perspective would be to use spiritual practices and techniques to attain real everyday goals as the ones mentioned earlier. If one for instance, meditated on trying to improve their behavior, finances, etc. If during the practice they happened to merge consciousness then that's great, but if they don't. It is still great because it was not purpose of the meditation in the first place. Enlightenment as you can see from a practical Kamitic perspective is just a pleasant side effect like a bonus.
It is through the practical approach one begins to see that there is a big difference from reading and studying truth versus living truth, hence the maa aankh. When you read and study truth what you are really doing is reading about what someone else thinks. And, if you search the web, you will find that there are a lot of theories out there, which can be like Mr. Smith.
It is only when you really begin to live TRUTH that you realize that everything that physically exists came into existence from the Spirit. Therefore, a thought is impressed upon the Spirit causes things to manifest from the spiritual into the physical. This makes it possible for you to manifest miracles in your life through the Power of God regardless of what one believes and thinks. You can then propose your own theory as to how things work because it is based upon your experience, your TRUTH.
So, when I say Practical Kamitic Spirituality, I mean just that… Something that works! I am talking about knowing that Npu (Anpu/Anubis) is real because you have seen his red/black/white physical manifestation appear to you via a stranger to guide you away from danger. This is one way I knew that God hears our prayers. This is what I mean by practical, like what has Kamitic spirituality done and continues to do. You know, I recovered from an illness and part of the reason why this miracle occurred was because I stopped focusing on how I got it and how to overcome it. Instead I focused on what I wanted, which was to be healthy. It took a little time but in time my spirit was convinced that I was never ill. I got a job the same way and money for a project the same way. Some would call it magic but if I have used the same procedure several times to get similar results. I think we call that science, right?
So, the time has come for us to get real and find the earthly words to express this divine logic. It is time out for messing around because people are in need of a healing. It is time to let people know that Kamitic spirituality is real and their descendants are spread throughout the diaspora.
So, don't get boggled down with the mystical theories. Accept that miracles happen. In fact, believe that miracles happen and when that miracle happens in your life. Be grateful for it. Accept it and then ask to understand it.

Welcome to Positive Thinking Guide
Free Power Of Positive Thinking Article

The Different Methods To Achieve Positive Thinking!from: Jennifer C Morton - Guest Writer
Positive thinking is very powerful. In fact, positive thinking is the one reason why humanity has achieved so much. When you think about it, positive thinking has been behind every major progress that man has made over the years of his existence. It is because of positive thinking that we now enjoy technology today.
Sure, there may have been some questions and doubts that hindered human development, but positive thinking triumphed over these obstacles and made way for progress. Despite of being in evidence throughout man's existence, the power of positive thinking has aroused people's interests only recently.
People are looking for ways to achieve the power of positive thinking. They try to look for steps of positive thinking to help them accomplish their goals. What are the steps of positive thinking that people take?
1) Religion - Some people take religion as a step of positive thinking. Let us examine this option closely. First, the core concept of religion is faith. Christianity teaches that a person with faith can achieve anything. This is also at the heart of positive thinking. A person who believes that he or she can do something will achieve it.
Some people who take this step of positive thinking develop the faith that whatever happens in life, they will be alright. This thinking, of course, gets rid of all the negative thoughts in a person's mind. They find the positive attitude by trusting their lives to a higher power.
2) Self-improvement - This step of positive thinking is taken by people who feel that their negative thoughts come from their feelings of inadequacy. They improve their images in order to convince themselves that they do matter. They make themselves into someone whom they think will not fail.
Sometimes, this step works and initiates changes in a person's view of life. However, it can also fail and just bury a person's negative thoughts under a false pretense of success.
Some people take this step of positive thinking by joining a health club. Other people take up a hobby or an activity which lets them realize just how much they can achieve if they put their minds to it. They begin to think that since they were able to achieve something in this or that activity, they will also be able to achieve any other challenges that life throws their way.
3) Therapy - Some people just go to professionals and try to get rid of the problem by trying to understand the cause. This step of positive thinking can either be very effective or utterly useless. It can also be very expensive. Therapy is often done through a psychiatrist or through a group. They try to jump-start their positive thinking by getting help from other people.
4) Self-recovery - Other people just try to get over their negative thoughts. Those who take this step of positive thinking often experience what people call an epiphany. They experience a life-changing event that suddenly brings all into perspective. Other people recover through an inner struggle that pits their will against negativity. This step of positive thinking may be the most difficult to take, but it gets the best results. This is because you will not depend on anything but your self to think positive.
By thinking positively, you will live positively and enjoy your success.

In-Progress At Talladega: SPEED's Cup Practice and Truck Qualifying
On Friday SPEED will kick-off a big day of live action with NEXTEL Cup practice at noon for one hour. Then, the Craftsman Truck Series takes to the track for qualifying.
When qualifying ends, a flexible NASCAR Live program will transition viewers into the afternoon Cup practice, scheduled for 3:30PM Eastern Time. To end the on-track NASCAR portion of the day, a final episode of NASCAR Live will bring viewers up to the ARCA race, scheduled for 5PM.
Steve Byrnes will call the action on the track for SPEED, with John Roberts hosting NASCAR Live from the SPEED stage. Larry McReynolds and Jeff Hammond will join Byrnes in the booth as analysts, and Bob Dillner and Wendy Venturini will handle the pit road duties for this five hour block. We should see Randy Pemberton interviewing in the garage area during NASCAR Live, and possibly even a Hermie Sadler sighting.
This page will host the comments on this five hour live telecast up to the ARCA event. Fans may post in advance, during, or after this NASCAR Friday telecast.
To add your comments, simply click on the COMMENTS button below, and follow the simple instructions. There is nothing to join, and we do not need your email address.

I don't know why Denny was pulled from the track and sent to the NASCAR truck, but I would guess it has something to do with bump (or slam) drafting. They said early in the show that the entire track is supposed to be a no bump zone.

The tv team makes a big deal of it then doesn't tell us why. And did everyone hear Larry Mac's explanation for why Biffle drove in the grass last week. I thought it was kind of weak.

well, I like Sniffles but FRANKLY thought his OWN explanation of why he went in the grass and was PUSHED INTO VICTORY LANE WAS WEAK!:-)
What? the car was going to blowup if he tried to refire the engine.
It is the oddest rule of the day and winner, in the three years I have been watching NASCAR.
I WOULD like to know why DENNY was called to the office but feel SPEED did not know or did not want to say at the time. Maybe since it wasn't a RACE they did not want to extrapolate??

Since Speed didn't answer your question, from NASCAR.com:
While the rest of the cars rolled into the garage area after Friday's first practice session, Denny Hamlin was on foot when he made a detour to the Nextel Cup hauler.
Apparently NASCAR officials were concerned about Hamlin's aggressive bump drafting and asked him to stop by for a chat.
"I think they put out a general warning to everybody and I just continued to bump-draft a little bit after that," Hamlin said. "I don't know what I did different than anyone else."

Enjoyed the Truck qualifying. We don't get to see that every race.
A big thank you to Rick Allen. If he said it at all, I missed it. I do know that he didn't say "provisional pole" the usual 100 times during the broadcast.
Now, if someone could inform Adam Alexander which series he's working. :)

Denny, joking or not, is saying SPEED coverage had something to do with his penalty: That's Racin.com:
"I was finished anyway, but they parked me there at the end," Hamlin said.
"I don't know. We asked them what the difference between us and everyone else out there and they said we were on TV when we were doing it.
"I guess we'll blame the daggum television cameras. They can park us 15 minutes, they can park us an hour, they can park us for the rest of the day. We're done."

something weird happened when SPEED transitioned from NASCAR Live to arca coverage. When NASCAR Live was going off air they showed cars making pace laps around the track. those cars looked like arca cars. When the arca coverage started the cars were sitting on pit road and have not even started yet. Is the arca coverage delayed?
- October 5, 2007 at 5:12 PM
- stricklinfan82 said...
Yeah I saw the same thing. It was definitely the same field of ARCA cars that was already under the pace laps during NASCAR Live. For some reason it looks like they're using a 10-minute or so tape-delay for the ARCA broadcast. Maybe ARCA moved up the start time a few minutes because of impending weather and Speed started taping their broadcast early in case the green flag dropped before 5:00?

Hamlin was warned by the control tower that he was driving too aggressively for a practice session, bump-drafting and so on.
He continued to drive the same ay after being warned once, so officials parked him for 15 minutes.
gotta love this guy's attitude. Remember how, last year he was "just happy to be here"? Now, he's taking behavior lessons from Tony Stewart.
