One of the many perks of living in Asheville is the city’s access to the French Broad River. The third-oldest river on Earth, the French Broad slices through the center of Asheville, offering plenty of opportunity for fun on, and along, the famed waterway – including an abundance of riverfront dining and drink venues. Visit one of these spots to take in some tastiness as you absorb the relaxing riverside atmosphere.
Zillicoah, located in Woodfin on the eastern bank of the French Broad River, specializes in open-fermented farmhouse ales and lagers. The brewery’s open-air tasting room rotates up to 12 taps, including in-house beers and guest taps. Zillicoah’s partnership with Taqueria Muñoz means you can savor tacos, tortas and tamales along with the river views. 870 Riverside Drive.
This restaurant’s flagship recently moved a block from its original location to the east bank of the French Broad River, with ample parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and pet-friendly waterfront access. Enjoy such fare as Banh Mi tofu, Thai peanut chicken, or mushroom, potato and romesco sauce tacos, as well as sides like green chile black beans and watermelon with mint. 388 Riverside Drive.
This riverfront bar, restaurant, concert hall, and special events venue features a relaxed outdoor setting in the River Arts District along the French Broad River.
The largest shipping container restaurant in the U.S., Smoky Park Supper Club is situated on the French Broad River on close to 2 acres of land in the River Arts District. The restaurant features seasonal, wood-fired farm-to-table fare, craft beer, cocktails and live music. Arrive by bike, boat or car for riverside dining outdoors on the lawn or deck, or inside the creatively constructed eatery. 350 Riverside Drive.
Nestled along the French Broad River, New Belgium features a 5,100-square-foot tasting room, as well as a massive outdoor space comprising a large lawn perfect for picnic and play, a fire pit, plenty of picnic benches and high-top seating on a large deck, and Adirondack chairs facing the river with a view of the River Arts District and Chicken Hill neighborhood. A rotating roster of food trucks, live outdoor music in warmer weather, and the array of beers New Belgium is famed for mean you can make a day of it with family and friends. Extremely kid- and dog-friendly (although dogs are not allowed inside the tasting room), New Belgium is also an ideal stop after a bike ride along the greenway. 21 Craven Street.
Enjoy locally sourced and updated American cuisine across from the French Broad River Greenway in West Asheville, near Carrier Park. Favorites include such dishes as buttermilk fried chicken and catfish po’boys, as well as sides like sautéed sesame greens and grit cakes. Dine at outdoor picnic tables behind the restaurant, or get your food to go and amble across the street to the park for a riverside picnic. 219 Amboy Road.
Asheville Parks and Recreation maintains a beautiful system of greenways throughout the city, with miles more planned for completion in the next few years. This means that even if you don’t currently have a greenway near your Asheville home, you likely will soon. From paths that incorporate edible gardens, to trails dotted with playgrounds and dog parks, Asheville offers a multitude of options for immersing yourself in nature without having to stray far from your neighborhood.
Glenn’s Creek Greenway – This paved greenway extends westward from Weaver Park on Merrimon Avenue to Riverside Drive along the French Broad River. Glenn’s Creek connects the Norwood, Montford and University neighborhoods via mostly wooded settings. The trail is on-road in portions but there are also off-road trails through Weaver Park and UNCA. Reed Creek Greenway links into this greenway corridor.
Reed Creek Greenway – This path begins at the Botanical Gardens on W.T. Weaver Boulevard, and runs parallel to Broadway Avenue along a creek, offering a slightly urban feel.
Swannanoa River Greenway – This greenway, situated next to Walmart, travels the banks of the Swannanoa River in East Asheville inside River Bend Park. It is accessible from the shopping center parking lot.
French Broad River Greenway – This 2.8-mile bicycle and pedestrian trail in West Asheville connects Carrier Park to Hominy Creek Park, French Broad River Park, and RiverLink’s future Karen Cragnolin Park as it winds along the river, Amboy Road and Riverview Drive. French Broad River Park features a vast area of open green space with old trees, a wildflower garden, gazebo, picnic tables and grills, a dog park, an observation deck and a small playground. Carrier Park is one of Asheville's premier parks, built at a former racetrack that now serves as a velodrome for cycling. The infield has volleyball courts, playground, roller-hockey rink and basketball court. The greenway also runs past a lawn bowling court, multi-use sports field for baseball and soccer, picnic pavilion, river overlooks and wetland interpretive trails.
There are plans to close the gap between the half-mile section of greenway on New Belgium Brewing Company’s property at Craven Street and the French Broad River Park (near the dog park). Once completed, it will extend just over 1 mile. Dubbed “The Edible Mile,” this greenway will feature information on the indigenous edible plants in the area and feature volunteer-led edible gardens. Construction is slated to begin this spring.
Town Branch Greenway – This .75-mile-long greenway will start at the Grant Southside Center on Depot Street and Livingston Street near the River Arts District and end at Phifer Street near the McDowell and Southside intersection. An important East/West connection in the greenway network, the trail runs on flat terrain along the banks of Town Branch creek. It will feature a series of interpretive signs educating visitors about the detrimental impact the razing of the Southside Community had on its historically African-American community. Construction will begin Spring 2021.
River to Ridge Greenway and Trail Network – This will be a connection of continuous greenways that encircle the downtown area with the River Arts District and French Broad River greenways, the South Slope Greenway Connector, Beaucatcher Greenway and the Urban Trail. Once completed, the network will have 10.25 miles of connected greenways and trails.
RADTIP– This project will feature a new greenway, as well as enhance the River Arts District with a safer roads, flood mitigation measures, sidewalks, separated bike lanes, public art and new gardens. The French Broad River East Bank corridor will have a 2.2-mile long section that will be completed in this construction project. The section will begin at Hill St. and Riverside Drive and end at the Amboy Road Bridge.

After winter’s chilly rains, ice and snow, you’re probably more than ready for spring to arrive. But is your home? Gearing up for the coming spring in Asheville requires some simple yet important home maintenance steps; by performing these tasks, you can ensure that your property’s seasonal transition will be smooth sailing.
Removing all of the leaves and other debris that have accumulated in your gutters and downspouts over the winter months is an important early step. Doing so helps to prevent damage from spring rains, protects wood trim from rot, and diverts rain properly so water doesn’t collect around your foundation.
Decks, fences, railings and other outdoor woodwork benefit from a stain and seal every year or so, especially ahead of the heavier use warm weather will bring. Doing so will ensure that the woodwork lasts longer and stays in better condition.
The freezing and thawing that comes with wintry weather can take a toll on the concrete and other hardscaping materials on your property. Closely examine walkways, paths, roofs and driveways for cracks, holes and other damage, and patch before the problem grows too large. Extremely damaged concrete may need to be replaced completely.
Spring is the ideal time to check irrigations systems; doing so can save water and money. Make sure heads haven’t been damaged, and adjust any that are errantly spraying. If you use a rain barrel to collect rain for watering your yard, it’s important to clear out sediment and organic debris that accumulate at the bottom of the barrel, and set it up properly in preparation for Asheville’s spring showers.
The warmer temperatures and increase in humidity mean a more hospitable environment for mosquitoes. Don’t let them set up shop in your yard: The key is getting rid of standing water around your property (and for neighbors to do the same!). Look for places where water stands, and remedy or maintain those spots.
Spring is the time to schedule air-conditioning service. Doing so will not only ensure the most efficient use of the system, but will extend its life. Make sure to clean or replace HVAC filters. And if you have ceiling fans, don’t forget to give them a good wipe-down to eliminate the dust and particles that accumulate on top of the blades.
Asheville’s last frost typically occurs in early to mid-April; ahead of that, pull up weeds, trim and clear dead twigs and brush, and plan out which plants you’d like to add to your yard. After the last frost, find flowering plants that thrive in early spring to bring brightness to your garden; seed any patchy lawn spots to take advantage of the moisture our April showers will bring; and mulch around trees and any perennials that have started popping up.
Asheville’s eclectic art scene is as breathtaking as the Blue Ridge Mountains that surround this spirited city. Hundreds of artists practicing across a range of media call Western N.C. their home, selling their pieces in a multitude of galleries around the Asheville area. Whether you’re a casual shopper, waiting for a just-right piece to strike your fancy, or have a specific style of art in mind, there’s no shortage of gallery spaces replete with visually vibrant works to peruse. With so many options, it can be overwhelming to know where to start your search; following are a few ways to more easily and enjoyably experience the galleries dotting downtown, River Arts District, South Slope and other Asheville neighborhoods.
Beginning in April and continuing through December, The Downtown Asheville Art District galleries celebrate the beginning of a new month (and the weekend) with First Friday Gallery Walks. The walks, held from 5-8 p.m., are a great way to explore downtown Asheville while visiting the more than 20 galleries that contribute to Asheville's reputation as a vibrant arts community.
Within a half-mile radius of Pack Square and the city's center, you'll find unparalleled artistic creations, from fine studio crafts to glass, photography, folk art and contemporary painting, metalwork, textiles, jewelry and more by local, regional, national and international artists.
You can find a complete listing of DAAD galleries, including a map with locations and contact information, in the Downtown Gallery Guide, available at each participating gallery, the Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Pack Place.
This once-industrial neighborhood nestled next to the French Broad River is now home to the working studios and galleries of hundreds of artists. From painting and pottery to jewelry, glass, metal and wood, the pieces created and sold in Asheville’s River Arts District are a reflection of the thriving artistic talent Asheville nurtures.
Many visitors descend on RAD every Saturday, with most studios open to the public. On the Second Saturday of each month, visitors can ride a free trolley to each building, see demonstrations, enjoy refreshments and meet the artists. RAD’s annual Studio Stroll is held on the Second Saturday and Sunday of November, with studios often open longer hours.
You can also visit studios in RAD during the rest of the week. Many studios are open daily from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and some from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Artists work year-round, with some studios open earlier or later than the posted hours or days.
These tours, developed and led by area artists, give visitors an inside look into the Asheville arts scene. The tours help visitors better explore and understand Asheville’s vast and diverse community of artists and studios.
You can opt for the two-hour artist-led walking tour, which visits a variety of studios, some with multiple artists working out of them. For the visitor who’s always wanted to try their hand at throwing pottery, or blowing and sculpting glass, the Experience tour allows you to be an artist for a day. VIP tours offer the full art and entertainment treatment, down to handling dinner details.

Spring’s warm weather invariably beckons buyers, making it a prime time to list your Asheville home. However, that same motivation also inspires other sellers to crowd the market. While it may seem overwhelming to stay ahead of the flurry, taking early steps to prepare for a sale will ensure less stress when your home hits the market. Here are some ways to get a leg up from the outset.
This may seem like an obvious first step, but sellers are often unsure of how thoroughly they should pare down their presentation. Start with those stacks of books and papers, unnecessary items crowding your kitchen and bathroom counters, shelves piled high with knickknacks, clothes cluttering the closets, and the like. Art is fine, but put away family and personal photos – you want potential buyers to see themselves, not you, in the home. Streamline furnishings and keep hallways and paths free of any objects that can impede the flow of the home.
Turn a critical eye to your home and you’re sure to uncover little flaws long overlooked. That unused curtain rod or those damaged blinds will most definitely distract, no matter how new the windows. Mismatched, outdated door fixtures and cabinet handles are an easy early fix that will leave the buyer with the impression of a clean, attractive aesthetic. An inexpensive chandelier can help to define a dining room, doing double duty if the light fixture needs updating anyway. And don’t neglect simple improvements to your exterior: Cleaning gutters and replacing broken ones not only improves the appearance of your home, but can help to mitigate musty odors often associated with backed-up drainage. Small improvements can pay off in a big way.
Landscaping is an economical way to improve a buyer’s first impressions. And during the spring, it’s easy to surround your home in the season’s glorious green and vibrant color to boost appeal. Adding sod, small bushes, or a focal point like a stone walkway can enhance your home immensely. If you don’t have the funds for a full exterior paint job, coat the front door in a fresh color that complements the exterior but provides just the right pop to make your home stand out.
If spring has inspired you to sell, and you want an agent equipped to help you get the most out of the sale of your Asheville area home, please contact Mike Figura at Mike@MyMosaicRealty.com or call him anytime at (828) 337-8190.
Craggy Park, located in the heart of eclectic West Asheville, N.C., is a sustainable urban community featuring 45 Energy Star homes nestled amid streamside trails, organic gardens and community gathering spaces in a park-like setting. Closely connected to the vibrant Haywood Road business district by a greenway trail and a short stroll up Dunwell Avenue, Craggy Park features homes that blend modern with Arts and Crafts elements, crafted with a “smart and sustainable design” philosophy. The community park on Fox Creek and adjacent urban woodland conservation area make it easy to stay connected to nature in your very own backyard.
Custom designed by W2 Architects and built by the craftsmen at JAG Construction, Craggy Park’s beautiful state-of-the-art green homes provide plans suited to every lifestyle. The homes – each certified by GreenBuilt North Carolina, a voluntary, statewide green building program – are designed for easy maintenance, leaving lots of free time to enjoy everything Asheville has to offer.
Craggy Park’s design philosophy of clustering homes and providing ample common space allows for a relaxing outdoor-centric community. Our park includes a nature trail with benches, a lawn by the stream, two little free libraries, a tree house, an over-sized double swing, organic gardens, a fire pit, a picnic area with a community grill and herb spiral gardens.
What Makes Craggy Park So Green?
Craggy Park’s walkable and bikeable urban infill location optimizes use of existing infrastructure and minimizes the development’s environmental impact. A clustered-home site design preserves green space, existing trees, and nearby habitats, and native, drought-tolerant and edible landscaping provides a habitat for local flora and fauna.
From re-use of bricks from a former on-site home, to milling of trees taken down during grading for lumber, the construction process also boasts minimal environmental impact. Preservation and re-use of topsoil during grading; construction waste management and recycling; and effective stormwater run-off controls throughout construction keep things green from the start.
And then there are the homes: Energy Star and GreenBuilt-certified; a high-efficiency mechanical design; third-party blower door and duct-blaster tested homes; low and no-VOC materials and finishes for optimal indoor air quality; Energy Star appliances and lighting; day-lighting techniques for great natural light; low-flow plumbing fixtures; durable material use (30-year roof, 50-year siding); and 6" walls and formaldehyde-free insulation are just some of the many green features of each Craggy Park home.
If the Craggy Park lifestyle appeals to you, mark your calendar for an exciting event March 9 and 10, from 1-5 p.m. That’s when six new homes will be unveiled as part of Craggy Park’s Spring Release. You can tour a completed home, as well as see homes under construction. Acting early means you can even select your finishes on some models.
If using GPS, you can get to Craggy Park by entering Mauricet Lane, Asheville, NC 28806.
From Haywood Road, head north on Louisiana Avenue and Craggy Park will be half a mile down Louisiana Avenue on the left.
From Patton Avenue, head south on Louisiana Avenue and the Craggy Park entrance will be .2 mile on the right.
There is a sign for Craggy Park, and the entrance road is labeled Mauricet Lane.

Launched in 2013, the seventh-generation Corvette adopted a new styling language, GM’s latest in-car technology, and a significantly more upscale interior that finally moved the nameplate to the more premium side of the market. A new V-8 engine was also developed, as well as a redesigned Z06 that packs more horsepower than a Dodge Viper. Following a range of new updates for each model year, the Corvette celebrates its 65th anniversary with the Carbon 65 Edition at the 2017 New York Auto Show.
Wow, I can’t believe that almost 65 years have passed since the Corvette came to be, but yes, the original ’Vette goes back to 1953. Granted, it’s not as big as the 60th and 70th anniversary, but 65 years of making American sports car enthusiasts happy is a great reason to celebrate. And, the Carbon 65 Edition seems like the perfect package for a special event like this. Like the name suggests, the C7 is enhanced by means of carbon-fiber elements, but it also gets a number of unique visuals inside and out.
However, the upgrade isn’t available on just any model, but only on the Grand Sport 3LT and the Z06 3LZ. It’s also limited to only 650 units globally.
Continue reading to learn more about the Chevrolet Corvette Carbon 65 Edition.
The package is available for the range-topping trims of the Grand Sport and Z06 models.
It may be a bit disappointing that the Carbon 65 package isn’t available for the standard Corvette, but the good news is that you get a ton of cool features as standard on the Grand Sport and Z06. Both share the Z06 upgrade styling-wise, which means a more aggressive exterior and enhanced aerodynamics. On top of that, the Carbon 65 Edition adds a new carbon-fiber spoiler and quarter intake ducts in clear finish. The latter are available on the coupe models only. The coupes also get carbon-fiber hood section and roof, while the convertibles gain carbon tonneau inserts.
All Carbon 65 models will come equipped with black wheels that have machined grooves and carbon-fiber logo center caps, and are wrapped in summer-only tires. Behind the rims there will be blue brake calipers. All cars regardless of spec will be finished in Ceramic Matrix Gray, a light shade of gray that appears to be almost white in certain lighting conditions. The convertibles also come with blue tops. Finally, the Carbon 65 Edition is rounded off by unique fender and door graphics and Carbon Flash badged and mirror caps.
The black upholstery is paired to carbon-fiber trim and steering wheel, while the blue stitching adds a splash of color.
Inside, the package revolves around a mostly Jet Black suede interior. The upholstery is paired to gloss carbon-fiber trim and a carbon-fiber steering wheel, but the blue stitching adds a splash of color. Chevy also added Competition seats and "Carbon 65 Edition" sill plates for a sportier look.
There are no upgrades under the hood, but that’s not to say that the Carbon 65 Edition is slow. Should you pick the Grand Sport as a base, the 6.2-liter V-8 cranks out 460 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, as it comes with the optional performance exhaust system. Transmission options include the seven-speed manual with active rev match and the eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters. In this configuration, the Carbon 65 Edition should hit 60 mph from a standing start in as low as 3.5 seconds.
Pricing for the Carbon 65 Edition is set at $15,000 in addition to the base model.
Opt for Corvette Z06 as a base and the LT4 engine gains a supercharger and output increases to 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of twist. This will put the Carbon 65 Edition into supercar territory and help it charge from 0 to 60 mph in as low as three seconds. Both the seven-speed manual and the eight-speed automatic are offered. Top speed for the Z06 is a mind-boggling 205 mph.
Pricing for the Carbon 65 Edition is set at $15,000 in addition to the base model. The Grand Sport 3LT trim starts from $76,190, which means that the Carbon 65 Edition for this model will cost $91,190 before options. If you want the convertible, you’ll have to pay $95,190 before adding extra features. The Z06-based version is notably more expensive, as the 3LZ trim retails from $89,390 as a coupe and $93,390 as a convertible. With the Carbon 65 Edition package, it will cost $104,390 and $108,390, respectively.
Not exactly affordable, but hey, the Corvette doesn’t turn 65 every day.

Germany was one of the leaders in the global trade of ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes. In 2014, Germany exported X thousand tonnes of ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes totaling X million USD, X% under the previous year. Its primary trading partner was the Czech Republic, where it supplied X% of its total ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes exports in value terms, accounting for X% of the Czech Republic's total imports.
From 2007 to 2014, Germany was a net exporter of ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes. In this period, exports consistently exceeded imports in value terms (except 2011). However, in physical terms, the difference was more pronounced due to high import prices.
China and Mexico were also among the main global suppliers of ballasts for discharge lamps or tubes in 2014. However, the fastest growing exporters from 2007 to 2014 were Japan (+X% per year) and the U.S. (+X% per year).
In 2014, Germany's top X trading partners were the Czech Republic, Italy, the U.S., Austria and France, with a combined X% share of German exports. The share of Austria increased significantly (+X percentage points), while the share of France illustrated negative dynamics (-X percentage points).

The survey found 72 per cent of respondents were dissatisfied with the current political system.
An annual survey on political engagement has found that 54 per cent of respondents believed the country needed a “strong leader willing to break the rules”.
The annual Hansard Society audit of political engagement found that nearly three-quarters of people felt the UK's system of governing needed "quite a lot" or "a great deal" of improvement.
At 72 per cent this is the highest level in the 15 years the audits have been published - worse than the previous peak of 69 per cent in the 2010 study which was taken in the aftermath of MPs' expenses scandal and the financial crises.
“The most worrying element is the willingness to break the law, because fidelity to the rule of law, fair play, playing by the rules – that’s all part of the British character and the values of British democracy,” Hansard Society director Dr Ruth Fox told talkRADIO's Matthew Wright.
The audit was based on a poll carried out by Ipsos MORI on behalf of the HansardSociety.
It found 54 per cent of respondents said Britain needed a "strong leader willing to break the rules" while 42 per cent of people said "many of the country's problems could be dealt with more effectively if the Government didn't have to worry so much about votes in Parliament".
The audit also found that nearly two-thirds of people thought the British system of government was "rigged to advantage the rich and powerful" and 47 per cent felt they had no influence at all over national decision-making.
Dr Fox said the desire for a “strong leader” could reflect the public’s dissatisfaction with current politicians.

After a deer hunting trip left Dennis feeling out of breath, he discovered he had severe aortic stenosis. With Dr. Doolabh’s mini-valve procedure, Dennis felt less pain and had a faster recovery than a traditional open procedure would have offered. "I breathe a lot better, I sleep a lot better, and I just live a better life, period."
When it comes to heart surgery, taking the time to heal is important. But for police officer Dennis McBride, time is a luxury he seldom has in his line of work or in his life.
“I’m a very active person. I discovered something was wrong when I was on a deer-hunting trip and couldn’t catch my breath. That’s when I found out I had a valve problem,” says Dennis. Young and active, he knew that a minimally invasive heart valve surgery by UT Southwestern’s Dr. Neelan Doolabh was his best option. “I get a good gut feeling about a person, and I put my trust in him,” says Dennis. And so he did, undergoing a surgery that took only two hours and one small incision.
For Dennis, less downtime meant he could get back to serving his community during the week and fishing with his son on the weekends.
After the surgery, Dennis spent only four days in the hospital. “Minimally invasive was awesome,” says Dennis. The effects on his health were obvious. “I breathe a lot better. I sleep a lot better. I just have a better life,” he says. And most importantly for Dennis, less downtime meant he could get back to serving his community during the week and fishing with his son on the weekends.

Fortaleza Hall is a celebration of the 15,000-mile flight made to Brazil by H.F. Johnson Jr in 1935, in his search for a sustainable source of natural wax: the carnaúba palm tree. Comprising two companion buildings, the project continues a tradition of inspired architectural patronage on a seminal Frank Lloyd Wright campus in Wisconsin, and is a tribute to the pioneering fifth generation S C Johnson family company.
H.F. Johnson Jr had travelled in a Sikorsky-38 amphibious plane and some sixty-three years later, his son Sam retraced that flight in a replica of the Carnaúba plane to complete a historic family journey. Fortaleza Hall provides a permanent home for the historic replica aircraft and tells the story of its flight, while the Community Building gives the campus a new social heart with a range of staff facilities including restaurants, shops and a gymnasium.
An initial masterplanning study of the campus revealed the ideal development site, adjacent to Wrights celebrated Johnson Wax office building and research tower. The new buildings anchor an area conceived as a town square. The highly transparent Fortaleza Hall displays the aircraft to the campus, which contrasts with the more solid and internalised Wright buildings. The replica Carnaúba forms the focus, its oval form is designed to give a 360 degree view of the suspended Carnaúba, below which an etched mural depicting the Carnauba rainforest and a wooden floor mosaic evoke the spirit of the expedition.
The Community Building conceived as a gathering place for S C Johnsons staff provides a more solid visual counterpoint that is close in spirit to a collegiate commons. Defined by its load-bearing Kasota stone walls, which echo the brick masonry of Wrights headquarters, it is essentially a rectangular building that is concave on one side to embrace the form of Fortaleza Hall. The two buildings are linked by a glazed entrance atrium that contains a green wall, a water wall and reflecting pool. An undercroft connects the space to the matrix of tunnels that form the principal communications network through the campus.
Fortaleza Hall has given us a unique opportunity to work alongside one of the finest Modern buildings in the world the Johnson Wax Building and to tell a remarkable story of adventure and discovery. H.F. Johnsons decision to commission Frank Lloyd Wright was an inspiring act of architectural patronage, as was our brief to design both Fortaleza Hall and the Community Building. This project celebrates a pioneering family, a remarkable company and an historic journey.
Fortaleza Hall was designed in collaboration with A Epstein and Sons Inc. (Architects Chicago), Ralph Appelbaum Associates (Experience Design New York), Buro Happold (Structural Engineering New York) and Cosentini Associates (MEP Engineering Chicago).

my 2 gateways RAM and CPU full loading. can we use hyperscale for decrease their RAM CPU loading ?
I assume you're using some sort of Active/Active configuration.
First of all, it depends on what appliances you have if this is even an option.
I believe Maestro requires 10GB (or higher) connectivity through a DAC, which definitely limits you to the 5600 and above.
That said, I have not seen anything official that says you can use the 5600/5800/5900 for Maestro, only the newer 6500/6800 and the 23000 series.
Second, it depends on the nature of the CPU/RAM loading.
If it is caused due to excessive sync, it will definitely help since you won't be incurring the sync overhead.
This also leads to better throughput.

However, the meat of the writeup is around the latest buzzword - ANT wireless technology - and the background work of Dynastream Innovations INC which made this protocol. ANT, designed for communication between sensors and sports equipment, is an attractive low power alternative to Bluetooth and Zigbee wireless networks [See Bluetooth and Zigbee].

First off, they’re made in Wisconsin, what more could you ask for? Didn’t know that? Yes, it’s true Kleenex products are based in Neenah, pretty neat, right? It’s a brand we all know and love; after all…be honest you don’t call other “tissue” brands tissue, you most likely say “Can you please hand me a Kleene?” Without even realizing it and now they have new products for you to obsess over.
There’s 60 small, palm sized micro-fine textured pads in the standard container. Better yet? They’re an oil free remover that’s strategically shaped to control around your eyes and help remove all your eyeshadow, liner, and mascara. All you need to do is wipe across your eyes a couple of times and flip it over to the reveal the fresh surface for the other eye. While I don’t use waterproof eye makeup, I still feel as though there’s constantly reminantsafter “removing” my makeup; with these I felt bare and clean. Thumbs up in my book!
Yes, yes, and yes! These pre-moisturized wipes are based with water and aloe to remove impurities (and excess makeup) while moisturizing your precious face. The simple instructions have you use the entire wipe to cleanse your forehead and cheeks, folding that in half for your nose and mouth, and then in half a second time to cover the remaining surfaces and your eyes. I put the “purse pack” in my purse (naturally) and pulled them out on a drive back from Madison and was able to easily take off my make-up. I would highly recommend them!
The packaging says “Radiant, smoother skin with just one use,” and they aren’t kidding. These dual-sided, multi-layered cleansers are heaven sent. Each pad is infused with a pro-vitamin complex that helps to cleanse your skin, while smoothing and brightening it. Immediately after I used one my face felt refreshed and my skin felt firmer.
Final review? I love the new cleansing products from Kleenex and have no reservations that you will as well, check them out friends!

According to FINRA, from July 2015 to December 2016, Vernon participated in private securities transactions without first providing notice to his employer, Questar Capital. FINRA claims this violated Questar’s written supervisory procedures, NASD Rule 3040 and FINRA Rules 3280 and 2010.
In July 2015, Vernon created a company, Contract Funding and Corporate Management. Vernon was the president of the company. Contract Funding and Corporate Management provided a line of credit to another company which used the funds to fulfill government contracts. Some of the profits from the government contracts were then shared with Contract Funding and Corporate Management.
According to FINRA, Vernon raised $1.74 million for Contract Funding and Corporate Management from clients of Questar Capital and $50,000 from one person who was not a client. Under Questar’s firm rules, employees are not allowed to raise capital for companies that they own. Therefore, FINRA alleges that Vernon violated Questar’s rules, NASD Rule 3040 and FINRA Rules 3280 and 2010.
Vernon agreed to a bar from association with any FINRA member firm. Vernon appears to have no customer complaints on his record. Prior to being employed by Questar, Vernon was licensed with LPL Financial, Mutual Service Corporation, American General Securities Incorporated, and Franklin Financial Services Corporation.

After a brief illness Eleanor passed away peacefully at the Swedish Hospital in Seattle. She was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. After 8 years working for Hudson’s Bay Oil, she moved to Seattle at age 29. Eventually she enjoyed a wonderful 30 year career at Metropolitan Federal Savings & Loans (Washington Fed Savings).
During then and since retirement, she has been a vital and longtime (26 year) volunteer at NW Hospital in Seattle as well as at the Health & Rehab facility. Eleanor was a 30 year survivor of a bone marrow transplant (Hutch 86) and volunteered at Fred Hutch for many years as a mentor and as ‘The Toy Lady’ to patients who also underwent a BMT.
She was a world traveler, always making friends along the way. Her greatest friendships were made in Seattle, where she worked, volunteered and generally helped mankind where and when she could with her generous, kind nature and spirit. She was loved by many – her family in Canada and her many friends in Seattle. She was well known for her keen wit and terrific sense of humor.
Eleanor was predeceased by her mother Metha Laura Froslev, her father, Walter Froslev and siblings, Anna-Marie Hansen, Helen Farch and Ivan Froslev. She leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews and their families. At her request there will be no service. Cremation with ashes to be interred over Puget Sound.

With the start of the New Year, many employers are gearing up for their internship programs, which often coincide with academic semesters and summer recesses beginning in May. Such programs, though, have become a source of much attention in the media, courts, state and federal agencies, and even legislatures. Front and center in this debate is whether interns must be paid. It is no secret that within the past few years, unpaid interns have filed suits against businesses, claiming violations of wage and hour laws, sometimes seeking millions of dollars. Especially given the continued rise in these types of claims, employers should carefully evaluate their internship programs and remain current with legal developments.
One such development employers should continue to track is two wage-and-hour lawsuits filed by unpaid interns that the Second Circuit recently decided to review. The first is a putative class action lawsuit against Fox Searchlight Pictures, Inc. and Fox Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Fox”) lodged by former unpaid interns, including interns involved in producing the film Black Swan. The interns contended that Fox violated federal and state law by treating them as interns, not employees. In a decision issued this past summer, a federal district court judge agreed, finding that the interns should have been paid. The judge relied on the U.S. Department of Labor’s six criteria as to whether an internship must be paid, and among other things, observed that the interns were “providing an immediate advantage to their employer and performing low-level tasks not requiring special training.” In addition, the judge certified a class of unpaid interns.
In contrast, the other case the Second Circuit is to consider came out in favor of the defendant. There, former interns with various magazines owned by the Hearst Corporation, including Harper’s Bazaar Magazine, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Marie Claire Magazine, Esquire, and Seventeen, alleged that they should have been paid under federal and state law, as they were employees. In May 2013, a federal judge denied plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment asserting that they were “employees” as well as their motion for class certification. In reviewing this decision as well as the one against Fox, the Second Circuit will have an important opportunity to weigh in on the standards for whether interns are “employees,” and wage and hour class certification.
In addition to the Second Circuit’s upcoming rulings in these two cases, there are other considerations and laws employers should continue to keep their eye on with respect to interns. Indeed, states may have different legal standards for determining whether an intern will be considered an employee for purposes of wage and hour law. For example, the New York State Department of Labor takes the position that eleven factors apply in making such an assessment in the for-profit sector.
Moreover, as we previously reported here, interns may be considered “employees” for purposes other than wage and hour law—most notably, for purposes of antidiscrimination laws. While some courts have found that such laws do not currently protect interns (as we reported here), some state legislatures have taken steps to see that they do. In addition to New York, New Jersey legislators, for example, introduced a bill last month aimed at extending antidiscrimination laws to protect interns. Meanwhile, employers should be mindful that the tests used to determine whether interns are employees for purposes of pay may not be the same tests used to determine their status for purposes of other employment-related laws, and may vary by state.
The bottom line remains that when it comes to interns, simply acting in line with industry standards may not keep employers safe from potential liability.
BakerHostetler’s Employment Law Group is continuing to monitor these developments, and is available to advise employers on complying with the various laws affecting interns, and on how best to implement any internship programs and practices.

Again I must give Nora Roberts two tumbs up for her themes entwined with a main and secondary romance. It all begins with an emotion rife prologue when baby Jessie is kidnapped from the stroller. Fast forward a couple of decades and in a small town at a construction site a skull is found. As it turns out it is a Neolithic village. Not only does the babynapping contributes to a suspense-laden storythread the archeology gives it a fresh twist I haven't read much before. I love archeology and the information within the story feels like the author researched the topic and gave it a realistic vibe.
What tugged on my emotional strings so very much is the multiple views of how characters were affected by the kidnapping of baby Jessie. Callie Dunbrook is at the epicenter of it all as archeologist and the grown up version of baby Jessie. She is stubborn to a fault, passionate about her work, methodical and has a vivid personality that jumps off the pages. The conflict of nature vs nurture brings lots of questions to the forfront but also encounters that just made me cry. The emotions, from all parties concerned (fathers, mothers, brother etc) are so recognizable. One mother loses a baby so another can have a baby. Love is all around and still it hurts. Nora Roberts created such lifelike characters with strengths and weaknesses that once again, I was drawn in to the story and couldn't srop reading until I read their HEA.
Because the romance was about one very fierce anthropologist named Jacob Graystone, ex-husband of Callie and more then ready to rekindle the fire of their romance. I loved the quick verbal jabs, the stuborness of them both and how quickly they can push each others buttons. There was a maelstrom of emotions humming between Callie and Jacob and I enjoyed myself reading their verbal clashes.
As always the supporting cast is excellent. Lana Campbell and Doug Callihan form the secondary romance and are very close to the main couple. I personally held a very soft spot for Digger, ugle as hell but a personality I fell head over heels for. There was a rich supporting cast all with interconnected relationships that made a flowing whole of the various story threads.
There was romance, there was drama, there was mystery and murder. The topics were refreshing, the characters flamboyant and the dialogues dynamic and full of emotion. I just couldn't get enough of Birthright!


text: Our knowledge of the role of the recently cloned ob-protein (leptin) in the regulation of body fat stores is largely derived from experiments performed in mice. Different mouse models exhibit abnormalities in ob-gene expression, with extreme overexpression in mice which lack bioactive ob-protein, have nonfunctional ob-receptors or hypothalamic lesions, and undetectable expression in mice with suggested defects in regulatory elements. The aim of this study is to examine if defects, corresponding to those in mice, exist in human obesity. Adipose tissue was obtained from 94 adult obese subjects and from six children who had developed obesity after surgery in the hypothalamic region. Total RNA was isolated and ob-gene expression was examined by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern blot. The coding region of the ob-gene was sequenced in both directions in the 94 obese adults. No mutations were detected in the coding region of the ob-gene and ob-gene expression was detectable in all subjects and none of the subjects had an extreme overexpression. There was no systematic increase in ob-expression in obese children with hypothalamic disease compared to their healthy brothers and sisters. These results show that severe abnormalities involving the ob-gene, analogous to those described in mouse models, are rare in human obesity. We therefore conclude that the cloning and subsequent analysis of the ob-gene has not provided information that can, by itself, explain the genetic component in the development of human obesity.

Food continues to be a hot topic in senior living. Television personalities like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern ignited the modern “foodie” culture. Their meals dripped with excitement and worldliness. Under such influences, aging Boomers have high expectations for their dining options. Senior living experts will have to keep up with costs and trends to appease them.
Food costs are at an historic high. Prices have risen an average 2.6 percent each year over the last 20 years. Long term, prices will continue to rise.
A survey by senior living association Argentum reveals that 51 percent of industry decision-makers agree that their average food costs increased in the past year. Organizations are seeking alternative methods improve cost efficiencies.
Local food sources provided one way for 29 percent of organizations to cut costs. By decreasing storage and transportation expenses, locally-sourced foods can cost less. More than 75 percent of respondents currently offer locally-sourced produce. Nearly 55 percent offer locally sourced animal proteins.
Local sourcing also appeals to the current trend in foodie culture that cherishes farm-to-table preparation. This more sustainable option promotes in-season, small batch fare. The quality of such local foods is more easily controlled and verified.
Additionally, local sourcing reflects a growing concern for local economies. Nearly 25 percent of respondents that serve local produce do so to support other neighboring businesses. For 15 percent of senior living communities, locally-sourced goods are a point of differentiation against competitors.
Worldwide, over one-third of food is wasted. Americans alone toss up to 40 percent of their food purchases into the trash. Decreasing food waste ensures that food fills bellies instead of trash cans.
The attention to food waste in senior living communities echoes the larger global trend. Several websites, blogs, and apps are geared towards decreasing food waste without cutting back on nourishment.
Foodies have also rediscovered the beauty of nose-to-tail preparation of animal proteins. From fine dining to food trucks, working class foods such as tripe, marrow, and pork belly have made their way onto menus. Several businesses such as Imperfect, Misfits, and Hungry Harvest successfully capitalize on ugly produce. Such concepts promote the idea of eating what is nutritious and edible, not just want is pretty.
As food costs continue to rise, senior living decision-makers accommodate residents’ discerning palates–and consciences—switch to sustainable food sourcing and distribution.

He’s a complete goofball. He pulls gardening gloves over his boots and stomps around like a Hobbit (even though he doesn’t know what a Hobbit is). Hobbit feet notwithstanding, he continues to love bare feet and will use literally all activities as an excuse to take off his shoes. We’re home! Off come the shoes and socks. We’re in the car! Off come the shoes and socks. We’re at the beach on a cold day in March! Off come the shoes and socks. We’re at the park with mulch, rocks, and the occasional syringe behind the bushes where we play! Off come the shoes and socks. A recent goofball move – the other morning he wakes up and starts walking around the room with his hands in front and behind his head while making a silly face. We start trying to guess what kind of animal or creature he is and he says “I was just trying to make you laugh.” It worked.
His aggression and attitude. Relative to his age, it’s all pretty normal I think. He probably uses his words better than most, like “I’m frustrated because..” and so on. But still, sometimes he hits or roars instead of talking it through. His favorite thing to do when he’s frustrated about not getting his way or being told what not to do is to do exactly what we just told him not to do. He’s also learned his first two defense mechanisms: avoiding eye contact while not acknowledging what’s being said, and making a silly face while not acknowledging what’s being said.
He’s getting big. He can lift up his little sister and loves doing so. He can reach all kinds of things we don’t want him to reach. He can navigate all child safety protections and lock himself in a bathroom if he chooses. He will likely start kindergarten in five short months and he constantly claims to hate his current preschool (because of nap time). He’s got lots of energy and we need to keep up with activities. I want to build him a hamster wheel and Mama wants to start him in karate.
He’s a sweet guy and loves his sister. More often than not, he’s busy being a four year old and can’t be bothered to work on properly adjusting to the playing needs of an eighteen month old. Still, it’s clear he loves her. They say goodnight to each other at bedtime and they care if the other gets hurt. He has sweet night time conversations with his mama sometimes after he acts out. It’s hard for a four year old with tons of energy and emotion when there are two parents trying to get things done and a little sister who has more immediate (safety related) needs. All things considered, he’s doing a great job being a kid and I’m looking forward to the continued growth of Papaya as they become playmates.

Last Thursday I did a demo at the San Gabriel Fine Arts Association to a small but very receptive group of members. I was a tad nervous after a long drive from Marina del Rey but I think things went swimmingly. I decided to paint an airplane from a picture I took at the Burbank airport with the intention of not only explaining whatever techniques I thought of but also trying to convey that a painting can be lurking anywhere, even in a seemingly sterile environment like Los Angeles.
My main emphasis painting the piece was the idea of a verbalized "concept" or main idea before starting. Also the avoidance of errors of color, drawing (including perspective) and tonal value while in pursuit of the idea. And finally a few notes of reflections and edges as defining of shapes rather than lines and detail.
Thank you Alice Lee and all the organizers for a nice evening of fun.
Wish I had been there Jose... I've got a lot to learn about all of the areas you mentioned!!

Time: About 7 miles. 4 hours including breaks.
Grade: Easy. Wonderful green lanes and tracks plus riverbanks and Inns… and only a couple of gentle hills with wonderful views.
Drive to the Bowd Inn from Ottery St Mary and turn left on the Sidford / Seaton road. Look for the large lay-by (GR 110 900) on the right and cross carefully to park in it. Sometimes it is said to be closed for District Council works but at weekends it is alright to park there. (During the week it might be better to go back and park in the Bowd Inn car park.) With great care (!) cross the main road and look for a gap in the brush and trees that lies opposite a point half way along the lay-by or about 60 paces downhill from the road signs. No sign but you will see the gap and if you really get lost walk back up to the Inn, turn right and take first lane to the right. Follow this and you will meet the exit of the track you could not find! Assuming you found the little track via the gap, move up this magic little sunken lane to emerge on the aforementioned lane. Right here and then bear almost immediately left. (not up the Private Rd. ) Plod slowly up the road, not forgetting to look back at the great views back to the sea. Stay on the road – Do not take first Public Bridleway up right to Fire Beacon Hill – curving round the hill and ignoring the next Public Bridleway sign pointing to the right.
Take the next Public Footpath, just after the right hand bend in the road, off to the right leading up into and following the edge of the wonderful woods. This is a magical track – look out for an ancient coach that will travel no more on the left – and it passes a small clearing, just before a brick house, in which there was once an ancient cottage. Little sign of it now. Bear right uphill by the house – bit steep but take it slowly and enjoy the trees – to emerge beside a pair of Public Footpath signs. Here, bear right up the slope for about 20 yds to emerge at a cross-way beside a small boundary stone on to a really well defined and made up track. Left at this cross-track and stay on this good track for some considerable distance to eventually emerge in a good clearing on a bend in a small road. This is White Cross. Good spot for a coffee and break to look at the incredible views.
Now, leave the car park area and move on almost doubling back on yourself through a wide metal gate to follow a wide green track that follows the line of the valley and the edge of the woods. It drops downhill to a gate and footpath sign. Pass through the gate and move diagonally left down the open field to a stile that leads you on to a small road. Right here down the road then left at the Public Bridleway sign to enjoy a great green lane to a road. Left here down the road to a combined Public Footpath and Bridleway sign on a left hand bend in the road. Right up the Bridleway and then left at the 3-way Public Bridleway sign. Emerge on to the main road. Great Care Here! Right down the road a short way and then cross carefully to the Public Footpath on the left. *(SEE NOTE AT END OF PAGE) Over a little wooden bridge and then follow the hedge on your right for the length of the field to meet the River Otter. Left along the bank to a small stile and gate tucked away in the corner. Up a bit and pass above a weir eventually going over a stile and through a works yard. Look for the Archimedean screw, in a small brick building, lifting water from the river. Carry on through the old mill with its neglected buildings. If, when you visit, it is still dilapidated then peek through the broken windows and see the old mill wheel and water race. Follow the narrow track along to eventually emerge on to the road in Tipton.
Right here – striving to avoid stopping at the Inn – and just over the bridge over the river Otter take the Public Footpath to the left. Follow this track and the river all the way to Harpford. Great chance to see kingfishers along here and an abundance of other wildlife. Once at Harpford cross the narrow bridge and move left up to the Church. At the junction turn left and then almost immediately right up Knapps Lane. In a few yards, on a bend, drop down right – track signposted to the Bowd – and follow what has to be one of the most wonderful paths you have ever been on. You are following a path below the old railway embankment and look out for an interesting low bricked culvert that runs under the railway. (Do not take this turning!) Soon you come to a brick bridge carrying the rail line and here pass under the bridge but immediately take the steps on the left up on to the route of the old line. (A permissive path). Continue left to meet the road just before the Bowd Inn – yes, resist the temptation again – and walk right, over the main road and down to the lay-by from whence you started.
*NOTE: AT THE TIME OF REVISING THIS WALK – OCTOBER 2012 – A FOOTPATH DIVERSION WAS IN PLACE ON THIS FOOTPATH TO ALLOW THE LAYING OF GAS PIPES. THIS WILL POSSIBLY APPLY UNTIL JANUARY 2013. IN THE MEANTIME, MOVE LEFT UPHILL ON THE ROAD UNTIL, OPPOSITE SOME HOUSES, YOU CAN TURN RIGHT DOWN TO TIPTON MILL. PASS STRAIGHT THROUGH THE YARD DOWN TO MEET THE RIVER JUST BY THE BRICK PUMPHOUSE IN WHICH LURKS THE ARCHIMEDEAN SCREW MENTIONED ABOVE. TURN LEFT AND YOU ARE BACK ON THE ORIGINAL PATH AS DETAILED ABOVE.

The Dravidian Dithyramb embodies traces of ragas from the Carnatic music of South India, but it also bears an astonishing resemblence to the tarana - a form of Hindustani classical music which uses Persian and Arabic phonemes as nonsense syllables. See also S-42: satb and S-179: ssaa; satb version recorded on cd-02.
Notable for its use of typical India melodic motifs, The Dravidian Dithyramb is an impression of uninhibited festivity. An elusive but persistent pulse motivates the music, which is based on mere fragments of melody--the pulse driving onward faster and faster toward the final frenzied utterance.
Dithyramb is a Greek term for a wild, passionate hymn. Dravidian usually refers to the languages and races of South India, as distinct from Aryan which usually defines the linguistic and racial group of the north. A performance of this piece should create excitement through driving relentlessly towards a climactic end.
