Raley’s has one division office in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
With the sale of the New Mexico stores, a total of 130 stores, excluding New Mexico, include Raley’s, Bel Air, Nob Hill Foods and Food Source in Northern California, the Bay Area and Northern Nevada.
Sole owner, Joyce Raley Teel, daughter of founder, Tom Raley.
Revenue, $3.4 billion in 2007.

These pages list several series which are important for comparison purposes. They are useful for the comparison tests: the `regular' Comparison Test and the Limit Comparison Test. Click on the name of the series to get more information on the series.
a+ar+ar^2 + ... The term of the series is ar^n. This series converges if |r|<1 and diverges otherwise. If it converges, it converges to a/(1-r).
The term of the p-series is 1/n^p. This series converges if p>1 and diverges otherwise. If p=1, this is the harmonic series.
This kind of series cancels itself out. For instance if you write out the sum over n from 1 to infinity of (1/n-1/(n+1)), you'll get 1/1 - 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 + 1/3 - 1/4 + ..., and all of the terms except the "1" in front will cancel each other out, so the series will converge to 1.

A former bride-to-be is now paralyzed and has put off plans to marry after a bachelorette party prank went terribly wrong.
Rachelle Friedman was paralyzed from the chest down after her best friend and bridesmaid pushed her into the shallow end of a pool. Friedman, 25, snapped her neck and floated to the surface.
While Friedman and her fiance, Chris Chapman, remain a couple, health insurance has kept the pair from tying the knot. Friedman’s health insurance is limited and she must rely on medicaid to cover the cost of her care. Marrying Chapman would mean that their combined income would disqualify her from receiving government help.

Clear temp drop before o followed by a spike and consistent high temps with the exception of a drop to cover line 6dpo. Implantion dip, right? Nope...big fat negative! Lol! This month my temp has been up and down. I had a clear spike after O and temps stayed up but had no significant dip after O and they did go up and down a bit. I got my bfp 11dpo on two test, including a digital. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is feeling discouraged with a chart that doesn't fit what they expect to see for a bfp. I also o'd 2 days late this cycle so using opks and temping really helped!

Green living is all about avoiding products and practices that damage the environment. Commercial cleaning products are loaded with chemicals that have negative effects on the atmosphere as well as the water supply. If you have kids or pets, you're probably also concerned about the danger these chemicals pose to them.
Many of the safest and most effective cleaning products can already be found in your Springs Apartments home. Here are some of the top natural cleansers along with ways to use them.
Vinegar is the superhero of natural cleansers. Its high acid content cuts through some of the most difficult messes like grease and soap scum.
Mix one part vinegar and one part water in a spray bottle for a tub and shower cleaner. Add a few drops of essential oils if you want a more pleasant smell. Use pure white vinegar to eliminate mildew stains.
The vinegar/water solution also works for kitchen countertops and ovens. To clean and deodorize your garbage disposal, pour one cup of vinegar into an ice cube tray and top it off with water. Toss the frozen cubes down the drain and let the disposal run.
Ditch expensive liquid fabric softeners and dryer sheets. Add 20 to 30 drops of any essential oil to one gallon of white vinegar. Use 1/3-cup per laundry load.
Baking soda's texture provides a gentle scrubbing action that won't damage surfaces.
Clean and deodorize the toilet by pouring in 1/2-cup baking soda, 10 drops tea tree essential oil and 1/4-cup vinegar. Scrub away residue as the mixture bubbles.
Use 1/2-cup baking soda followed by two cups boiling water to unclog a stopped drain.
Remove stubborn food stains from the refrigerator by wiping it down with 1/2-cup of baking soda added to a bucket of hot water.
Like vinegar, lemon juice has an acidity that cuts through grease and dirt. It also smells wonderful!
Sanitize a cutting board by rubbing a lemon half over it and allowing it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing. This works for wood and plastic boards.
Add a teaspoon of lemon juice to dishwashing detergent for supercharged cleaning power.
Make quick work of grout stains with a paste made from lemon juice and cream of tartar. Use a toothbrush to apply, then rinse.
In addition to its heart-healthy properties, olive oil has valuable cleaning and lubricating benefits.
Remove automobile grease or paint from your hands by washing them with one teaspoon olive oil and one teaspoon salt or sugar.
Bring the shine back to wooden furniture with a polish made with two parts olive oil and one part lemon juice or white vinegar. Apply with a spray bottle and wipe with a clean terry cloth.
Silence a squeaky hinge by spraying olive oil on it. Remove excess with a cotton ball.
Do you have other natural DIY cleaning products to add to this list? Let us know in the comments!

Do not let your missing teeth destroy your beautiful smile. Restore your looks with a dental bridge. Accidents occur every day and many people incur damage in their facial region. This can cause them to lose their teeth. A great option for fixing this type of damage is to repair it with a dental bridge. Remember that a dental bridge integrates functionality and esthetic's to deliver beautiful results.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis that helps to close gaps amid missing teeth. It is generally made up of fillers that are attached to a crown on each side and a false tooth is placed in between. The false tooth is called a pontics and it is composed of porcelain, alloy or gold or a combination of these materials. A dental bridge is also supported by your natural teeth or implants.
There are several types of bridges. The most common is the traditional bridge, but there are also cantilever bridges and Maryland bonded bridges. A traditional bridge is composed of a crown for a tooth or implant that is placed on both sides of the missing dentition and a false tooth in between. This is the most common type of dental bridge to use. They are created out of porcelain, ceramics and metals or fused with a combination of these materials.
Cantilever bridges are generally not used anymore. Dentists utilize them when a patient has adjacent teeth on only one side of a missing tooth or dentition. This type of dental procedure is not recommended to be used in back of the mouth because it can put too much force on the other teeth and damage them.
The Maryland bonded bridges are bonded with resin material. They are made of porcelain or fused with metals such as alloy or gold. We can also support them with plastic teeth or gums and a framework made of metal.
What Does This Dental Procedure Entail?
This dental procedure can be completed in just a few steps and we make this whole process easy for you. During your first visit to our dental office, we will prep your teeth and the area where the fixed prosthesis will be placed. Afterwards, the abutment dentition will be prepared. Your teeth will be reshaped, re-contoured, and a portion of the enamel will be removed as well. This will allow me to put crowns over them. Next, an impression of your dentition will be made and this mold will be used for creating the dental bridge, pontics, and crowns. Your fixed prosthesis will be fabricated in a dental laboratory. In the meantime, we create a temporary bridge for you to wear to safeguard your exposed teeth and gums while your actual dental bridge is being constructed.
On your second visit, your temporary bridge will be removed and then we will check to make sure your dental bridge fits in your mouth correctly. During this process, we may need to make some necessary adjustments to ensure a good fit. You may be required to return for a couple of more visits to check the fit of your framework and bite. Remember that each patient's results vary on a case by case basis. Once you feel good about how your dental bridge fits, we will cement it permanently into place.
The cost of this dental procedure will vary depending on the type of dental bridge you elect to get and your dental insurance plan. This treatment will last up to 15 years as long as you practice good oral hygiene and keep your regular routine checkups. Remember that when you use a dental bridge to replace your missing dentition, this can make it easier for you to chew and eat your food. It can also help you to speak more clearly.
Always brush your teeth twice a day and floss regularly to help remove food from in between your teeth. This can help slow down tooth decay, prevent gum disease, and stop tooth loss. In order to keep your remaining dentition healthy and strong, it is important to schedule regular dental cleanings to treat any undiagnosed problems or new prognosis.
If you feel that this type of dental procedure will benefit you, please call us at (425) 998-6998 to schedule an appointment today.

text: C60, the organic molecule made of sixty carbon atoms arranged in soccer-ball looking structure, has brought a lot of excitement to condensed matter physicists, chemists and material scientists since it appearance in 1985. The combination of the buckyball structure made of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons (a volume known since the time of Leonardo DaVinci) together with important electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions, bring unique properties not seen in ordinary non-molecular crystalline materials. In its bulk form, C60 arranges itself in a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice (one C60 molecule centered at each lattice site), while in its thin film form it is deposited in a triangular lattice. As an initial approximation one would think that C60’s electronic structure is dominated by the electronic interactions within a single molecule. Instead, we have found that long range interactions between the molecules have a profound effect shaping the electronic structure of the material. In this talk, I will discuss angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments and density functional calculations that support this claim. I will also show an electronic device made of a van der Waals heterostructure composed of a thin film crystalline C60, graphene and hexagonal boron nitride.

Knitwear design as the name suggests is the design stream dealing with the study of knitted materials. And knitting in simple language is inter-looping of yarns. Knitting is an age old technique and probably everyone has seen somebody knit..Be it grandmothers or a neighbour. Now, knitwear is a separate stream for design students. Many institutes provide courses in knitwear such as NIFT, Institute of Knitwear Designing, Pakistan knitwear training institute, Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising etc.
In knitwear design study, the basic subjects are knitting, pattern making, fashion illustration, history of clothing, draping, study of textiles etc. In short, the courses provide a brief introduction to other important aspects of the stream like the knowledge of different textile materials, knowledge of how clothes will be made, about the history of clothing etc.
Now-a-days, we have specialised machinery for knitting, and both the machine and hand knitting is taught in colleges. Although some may find knitting boring, but many of our important clothing comprises of knits. E.g.: winter wear, undergarments etc.
A big misconception is that knitwear designers only have jobs for winters which is completely wrong, knitwear designers have work throughout the year. Also, the pay packages are good, if done from a good institute the starting salary ranges b/w 20K-30K on an average.
Knitwear is in high demand these days. Since knitwear student has knowledge of textiles and fashion design along with knitwear, such students are being sought after as they are of high importance to companies and designers. Now, a single person with a knitwear degree can do the job of 3: Knitwear, textiles and fashion design. The pay packages and placements have also increased now. Also, it’s not that knitwear design is only confined to clothes; there are a lot of products in the market these days which are made in knits like toys, furniture, bows, caps etc.
So, if you have love for knits and you are looking for a successful career, knitwear will always have a thumbs up!

Long before David Bowie took them to Top Of The Pops with “All The Young Dudes”, Mott knew how it felt to be a pawn in someone else’s musical game. Scenester, soul guru and president of the Chuck Berry Appreciation Society, Stevens had imagined a band that fused The Rolling Stones and electric Bob Dylan while serving time for cannabis possession in Wormwood Scrubs. On his release, the Island Records house crazy saddled Herefordshire wannabes Silence with 30-year-old ex-road digger Hunter as their new singer, and named the group of his dreams after a 1966 Willard Manus novel – “hoople” being US slang for “loser”.
If Stevens’ rock Frankenstein was not monstrously successful early on, Mott’s primal thud had significant echoes – a dedicated fan as a teenager, The Clash’s Mick Jones said: “If it hadn’t been for Mott, there would be no us.” After Stevens just about produced the kaleidoscopic London Calling, Joe Strummer called him “the ultimate cure for musical constipation”.
Mott benefited from Stevens’ pop colonic in their early days, Hunter saying, “He’d get us drunk, we’d play a load of rubbish and he’d be going, ‘It’s great!’” That optimistic A&R technique led to the giddy mess that is 1969’s Mott The Hoople, Hunter’s Blonde On Blonde-ing on “Backsliding Fearlessly” and “Half Moon Bay” co-existing awkwardly with guitarist Mick Ralphs’ yen for bludgeoning rock.
It all proved too fraught. Stevens was benched for 1970’s countrified Wildlife, but maturity did not suit Mott: “We used to call it ‘Midlife’,” Ralphs joked. Hunter’s spindly “Angel Of Fifth Avenue” and the mournful “Waterlow” are Byrds-soft and Sandy Denny-spry, but Mott liked life wilder, recalling Stevens for 1971’s scattershot Brain Capers, touted rather hopefully here as proto-punk.
However, the “I don’t care what the people may say” refrain on New York Dolls-y opener “Death May Be Your Santa Claus” is more bruised bravado than year-one nihilism. “I feel neglected, feel rejected, living in the wrong time,” Hunter yowls on the moody “The Moon Upstairs”, though metaphysical centrepiece “The Journey” – The Band on Broadway – rises above the impotent fury, rebranding failure as life-enriching experience. It might have been Mott’s closing statement; the band resolved to call it quits during the subsequent tour, only for a sprinkle of Bowie stardust to change everything.
Heavy without being metal, lyrical with nary an acoustic guitar in sight, the Mott of Mental Train were a madman’s unworkable vision. Bowie’s Mainman team bashed them into a commercial shape Stevens never could, but the 1.0 Mott’s blundering, steamroller charm was their own. The producer died a drunk’s death, aged 38, in 1981. Hunter paid tribute with a dedication on his 1983 solo album, All Of The Good Ones Are Taken: “You gave your heart – you gave your soul. God bless you, Guy – rock’n’roll!” If that wasn’t the epitaph of his dreams, one can only hope Mental Train is.

BEMIDJI, Minn. – The Northern Michigan University Men's Hockey team took on Bemidji State University Saturday night for the second game of their series with the Beavers but fell 3-0.
The Beavers managed to score a goal 10:21 into the game to take a 1-0 lead. The Wildcats finished the first period with eight shots and won 10 faceoffs.
In the second period, the Wildcats won the faceoff battle 11-7 but neither team was able to get a puck into the net and the score stayed 1-0 with BSU leading. NMU won the faceoff battle, winning 11 to BSU's 10.
The Beavers added another goal 6:03 into the third period to move ahead 2-0. The Wildcats attempted to come back, pulling the goalie with 4:07 to go in the game. Unfortunately, BSU was able to add an empty net goal with 1:38 left to play and captured the 3-0 victory.
Junior Philip Beaulieu (Duluth, Minn.) finished the game tied with junior Darien Craighead (Surrey, B.C.) for the team's lead with four shots. Sophomore Joseph Nardi (Edmonton, Alta.) won 14 faceoffs while senior Adam Rockwood (Coquitlam, B.C.) won 12. As a team, NMU won 34 faceoffs to BSU's 31.
Senior goaltender Atte Tolvanen (Vihti, Finland) finished with 29 saves and now has 3,297 saves in his career to stay in fourth place in the NMU record book. He is now just 65 saves shy of reaching third place.
Tolvanen will continue to make his climb up the record book for the remainder of the season as he looks to break the career number of shutouts (13), career goaltender games played (133), career goal against average (2.24), and save percentage marks (.924).
Northern Michigan, is now 15-14-2 on the season and is 14-8-2 in the WCHA while Bemidji State improves to 15-12-5 overall and 13-8-3-2 in the league. NMU and BSU are now tied for fourth place in the WCHA standings.

Last week, Facebook announced membership had hit 500 million users. In other words, most everyone using the Internet is on Facebook (or at least it sure seems that way).
The tricky issue is that where Facebook was once primarily used to connect with family and friends (IRL — In Real Life — friends, that is), it has since become an online meeting spot for friends, strangers, businesses and more. Many users wonder who to friend request? And perhaps the more delicate question is whose friend request do you accept? High school and college classmates? Colleagues at work? Professional acquaintances? Your boss? Readers of your book or blog? Which leads to the question: can you use your Facebook profile both for personal and professional encounters? You’d probably get different opinions from different people, but my answer is yes, and I do (largely because maintaining one profile takes enough time; managing two would be impossible).
While there’s nothing wrong with ignoring a friend request (I do when I have absolutely no clue who the requester is, when I can’t see their profile because it’s locked down and when there’s no personal message to me explaining who the heck they are), if I (remember) I’ve had contact with the person — either in real life or over email — I usually do accept the request so as not to seem rude. And on the upside, becoming friends on Facebook can lead to genuine friendships or at least professional relationships. Also, my News Feed, made up of status updates from the myriad people and companies I “friend” or “like” is like a personalized newspaper: it serves to provide a good picture of what is going on not only with my “real” friends, but also in the publishing and media worlds.
Use Facebook’s Friend Lists by going to Account and then “Edit Friends.” This enables you to make certain posts / photos / sections of your profile available to only certain people (or visible to all your friends except for certain people). For example, I have a list entitled “People I Don’t Really Know” and the people on that list cannot view certain personal information, photo albums or status updates.
Hide status updates you don’t want to see. Let’s face it — some people (and companies) are really boring and it just gets annoying seeing their status updates about politics or religion. All. Day. Long. To get rid of a status update, let your cursor hover over the right side of the update. You will see a “Hide” button pop up that will allow you to permanently hide updates from the person. Status updates from all Facebook applications (like Farmville and Mafia Wars) can also be hidden in the same manner. FB allows you to block all, say, Farmville updates from a user, without blocking all of that user’s status updates, which is incredibly useful because some Farmville players are really quite witty and amusing when they’re not, say, trading eggs and building barns. Or perhaps you’d like to see what they’re reading via GoodReads, but not whether they’re riding a tractor. You get my point.
If you’d like to find out more, check out the All Facebook’s 10 Privacy Settings Every Facebook User Should Know.
Do you use Facebook for both personal and professional reasons? Why or why not? And if you do, what are some of your tips for managing the balance?
I find it easier to keep my Facebook dealings to be of the friendly persuasion and keep business out of it. It allows me to be a bit less market-y. I also don’t post my blog posts other work things there unless it is something that I think my friends would find interesting. A fan page is something I would consider for my book and writing life, but it is nice to have a place where I can ‘relax’ a bit.
I use Twitter for business, and Linked-In.
All of my profiles list my book’s website, Twitter handle. If friends want to hear me in that ‘voice’, they are free to join up.
Great blog post, Yen. Lots of good tips on how I might edit my Facebook settings and manage friends lists. I use Facebook for personal and business purposes like you and for the same reasons, too much work to have two profiles. I might add that I also created a page for my business, “Susannah Greenberg Public Relations,” related to my personal profile and there I strictly post book business news. I noticed that when I post from my page, as opposed to my profile, it automatically gets posted to related subject pages on Facebook, which is excellent, since I am trying to publicize books and reach their niche communities as well as reach out to book trade and media. I do also follow your sage advice of never posting anything ever that I wouldn’t want a boss or mom to see. Once I posted that I was reading Jane Austen and I thought I was posting only on Goodreads but it went everywhere, so it was lucky it was not an embarrassing post! Thanks for this article.
Facebook…as an aspiring self-help author…? Let’s put it this way, when it comes to any sort of social media; you can’t not. Period.
If you are an aspiring writer and you’re a little squeemish about facebook, myspace, twitter, or any some such, you better grab a cold bucket of water and dump it on yourself. Hopefully that woke you up because you will quickly, very quickly, fall by the way side if you are worried about interacting on any form of social media.
It’s akin to some of the older literary agencies who still insist on utilizing snail mail, ugh. Don’t be a dinosaur, get with the program. Otherwise you may wind up as fossil fuel for newer, more progressive companies that are ready to buy you out and assimilate you like the borg do on Star Trek.
Love this Blog Yen, keep it comin’!

DON O. THORPE was born near the spectacular mountains of Southern Utah. As a boy, Don hiked the mountains and fished the streams of Beaver County. His youthful artistic senses were shaped by what he saw and felt. It's as though he was imprinted by the impressionist colors of the high mountain country and that has been a major projection of his artistic expression.
Mr. Thorpe specializes in Impressionist photography. He has been experimenting with fine-art photography for several decades and has won many awards in competition. He has had more than a dozen solo photo exhibits in galleries such as The Springville Museum of Art, The Finch Lane Art Gallery, The Eccles Art Center, The Harris Fine Arts Center, The Utah Council of Arts Gallery, the Nauvoo Visitors Center and others. His most recent exhibit was at the Anderson-Foothill Library.
He has been featured in numerous publications including, Camera 35, Modern Photography, the New Era, and the Ensign magazines, and books, such as, Israel Revealed, Amphoto Guide to Low Light Photography, and several books on the Holy Land, and several children's books.
His images are centered on events and places -- especially those that have historical impact. The Holy Land and Europe and the Eastern U.S. are favorite locations. Also, the rural locations of Southern Utah are of special interest because they reflect his roots. He is attracted to symbolic images that reflect humanity and the ebb and flow of everyday life. He prefers simple images with geometric shapes and uncomplicated colors. He often blends the colors and textures of subjects so that they have a direct and simple relationship to each other.
Mr. Thorpe is available as a photographer for on location subjects, portraiture, promotional images, exhibits, and anytime there is a need for a special approach in photographs.

Buying flowers is a common thing to anyone. Anytime you want to remind someone how much you treasure them then sending them a bouquet of beautiful flowers will do the trick. A bouquet of bright flowers always puts a smile to someone face. You can send all of them for many reasons. It can because of a special occasion like a birthday or a holiday like mother days or when you are apologizing or just what someone to know that you appreciate them.
You can choose to buy flowers directly from your local florist but this will be quite time consuming. So when it comes to shopping the internet will be the best option for you. This will be quite convenient if you are one of those people how are ever busy and do not have time to go to the local florist to shop for them. With the internet you can just shop for flowers while you are still in the office of at home. When it comes to online shopping you will have a lot of option. They are a number of online sites that offers flower selling services and you can just purchase them from the site and have them delivered. To find these sites, you will easily just do a basic internet search and the options will be brought to you.
When searching for sites it would be a good idea to choose one that has a florist shop near you. This will help you cut down on the delivery charge. It is a good idea when you are looking for m&s flowers online to at least have an idea about which kind of basket you are looking for. You can just have a rough image in your head and when you came across something almost similar to it, all you have to do is pick it. Most bouquets are really expensive so before you choose that perfect one that you have seen it would be smart to check out the price first. If you see that the price is too high for you then you can look for another one that looks almost similar but not too expensive. This will mean that you have to go through the ones that you like and compare all the prices to find the one that does not leave a big hole on you pocket.
When shopping for blossoms online you do not have to restrict yourself to simply online florist site. You can check out several online florist shops, this will help you get the idea on the prices for the blossoms and the type of bouquet that are best suit for the occasion. When you browse through different sites you may end up getting blooms at a very cheap price.

2018 was a rough year for my riding. Winter weather kept me off the bike last year. Less so because it was “bad” weather, and more because I simply didn’t have the right clothes for the conditions. By the time springtime rolled around, I was doing pretty well. Feeling stronger and fitter because my ride frequency was pretty good. Then summer hit – ugh. I started a physically demanding job and I was just too tired to ride very often. So my riding fitness suffered. It didn’t help that 2018 was a brutally wet year in Western NC. May, especially. 20-40″ of rain for the month, depending on exactly where you measured. I picked up frequency again in the fall, but my annual mileage was unrecoverably down by this point.
I can’t believe I made it almost 3yrs before experiencing significant tire damage to the fatbike tires that I run tubeless on my Bucksaw. Of course, they’re not “designed” as tubeless tires, but they work just fine.
Out on a ride a couple of weeks ago, a stick nearly the size of my thumb punctured my tire. Yowza!
Posted on November 10, 2018 Categories Gear, Mountain BikingTags fatbike, mountain bike, mtb, tire, tire repairLeave a comment on My Expensive Fatbike Tire is Damaged!
Today seemed like a great day to hide in my basement and work on bikes. In doing a drivetrain swap a couple months ago, I discovered that my hub bearings were gritty. I’m probably a little gun shy over reports of freehub bearings on the Hope fatbike hubs imploding, so maybe I replaced them earlier than absolutely necessary. The new ones are definitely smoother, though. My post isn’t meant to be a step-by-step tutorial on the process. There are plenty of excellent resources available for that. Speaking of which, I found this video to be top notch.
The Bryton Rider 310 has been okay, but since Strava ALWAYS throws out wheel sensor data from the device, and RideWithGPS totally mucks up the distance calculations, I decided I wanted something more reliable and versatile.
In early January, I was approached by the folks at Bryton to test a GPS of theirs, the Rider 310. More specifically, they sent me a Rider 310T, which includes a HRM strap (soft strap type) and a cadence sensor. The intended function of the GPS is for use as a basic road bike training GPS. Well, I don’t really use any GPS for its training functions, and Bryton was cool with that. I told them that the sort of riding I do is more recreational tracking with more mountain biking than road biking, and they were also okay with that.
My last post about this bike was before I had even finished my own build. I’ve been too busy riding it! Here’s a build summary, followed by my impressions.
I got my hands on a GPS accessory recently that I’m quite impressed with. Rec-Mounts is a Japanese company that makes TONS of mounting accessories for lots of applications. They sell some of their products on Amazon, thankfully, because it looks like ordering through their website directly could be difficult.
Their products are top notch.
I started out with their Type 10 stem spacer mount. Couple things I like about the products this company makes. Namely, their modularity. They use a number of fairly standard mounting systems so a lot of their stuff is interchangeable. The Type 10 mount has a GoPro adapter as the adjustable pivot. So I can pull the 1/4 turn adapter off and put something else there to mount a different computer.
This is some old stuff I’ve been dragging my feet on posting. This past winter, I made myself a pair of pogies. They’re awesome, but I do need to tweak them a little for next winter. After going through the process of making them, I’ll discuss what I need to change.
Figure out what shape you need. This is a pretty obvious step, but for me it turned out to be the trickiest. I WAS going to post printable patterns, but I’m not 100% pleased with how mine turned out, so I’m not going to share imperfect patterns. Use cardboard to make a mock-up. You need to fit your grips, brake and shifter controls, and have a little bit of extra space. I feel like I could use a little more interior space. At times, it’s a little tight reaching my controls.

Anyone have a VMware image of 3.2 they can share?
I have been trying to get Community 3.2 to work for me for over 4 weeks now and I keep running into errors and not the same error of each distro.
I have created and junked over 50 images.
I get turned around because many of the posts in the forums and in wiki are for previous releases and lead me down the wrong path.
Errors from alfreco.log are the same from different versions but likely have different resolutions.
Thanks for anyone's input, but today was the last straw.
These items just do not seem like a reasonable thing to expect to have in a basic install and working.
Hmm … I know I had trouble as well, but as bad as yours seems to have been.
Ubuntu has a fully integrated alfresco now. Install Ubuntu sever, "sudo appget alfresco" (so something like this - see Alfresco Webpage for details), and the system is supposted to be running.

The Tank Cometh. The Tank Seethe, The Tank Conquered.
This past weekend the 212 bodybuilding world invaded St. Louis, MO for the Saint Louis Pro Show, and once the dust finally settled, it was Charles “The Tank” Dixon who rode into the show as a one man wrecking crew – doing some serious damage and leaving his imprint on the stage. There may not be a single athlete in the 212 division that has transformed his physique over the past two years quite like Dixon. And after last weekend’s performance where he just barely squeaked in at Friday’s weigh in with a cool 211.2 lbs, Dixon looks to be firing on all cylinders.
The show also featured upcoming competitors Thomas Anderson and Freddie McCray, both of whom looks to have made significant improvements since winning their respective pro cards in 2013 and 2014.
The emergence of both Anderson and McCray speak volumes to the developing depth that seems to be present in the 212 class. As we continue through the year to see more of our recent pro card winners take the stage for the first time, it looks like the quality is going to be growing by leaps and bounds for the foreseeable future.

Our personal injury attorneys at Chatham Gilder Howell Pittman PLLC are proud of their client-centered approach and dedicated counsel. We work hard and it shows in our many positive settlements and verdicts. While no firm can promise a result, we offer a sample of our recent cases as a testament to our commitment.
Confidential Due to a confidentiality agreement, the name of the case and the parties cannot be identified. The case involved a big truck versus a passenger car accident with clear negligence on behalf of the truck driver who disregarded a traffic control device and crossed a major highway directly in the path of travel of our client. The accident occurred in Marshall County, Mississippi. Our client received severe injuries requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation. After intense negotiations, case was settled for the maximum allowed under the tort claims act in the State of Mississippi.
Confidential Due to a confidentiality agreement, the name of the case and the parties cannot be identified. The case involved a disfiguring injury to a child who was injured when the driver of the vehicle she was riding in side-swiped another vehicle on a major highway in DeSoto County, Mississippi. The lawsuit filed included charges of negligence of the at fault driver as well as allegations of social host liability. After proof of injuries and damages was presented in court the injured girl and her family were awarded a judgment in excess of $1,600,000.00 for pain and suffering as well as for medical bills incurred as a result of the serious injuries sustained.
Jane Doe et al. v. XYZ Industries, Inc. Due to a confidentiality agreement, the name of this case and the parties can not be disclosed. The case involved a woman who worked in a furniture plant in Mississippi who had her legs severely cut by a band saw that was used to cut foam for seat cushions. The case was a products liability case where we sued the manufacturer for making an unsafe product. After filing suit, the Defendant settled for $1,600,000 before the case went to trial. his client also received a maximum workers' compensation settlement of $140,000.
This 2013 case involved a young woman who was rear-ended by another vehicle in DeSoto County, Mississippi. The force of the blow fractured her neck and, unfortunately, she died at the scene of the crash. The at-fault driver had a large liability insurance policy but the defense attorney tried to argue that the deceased’s tail lights were not functioning. Mr. Gilder and Mr. Howell hired a top expert in the field who performed tests on the vehicle and proved that the tail light bulbs were fully functional at the time of the collision. The Defendant’s insurance company paid a settlement in the amount of $1,450,000.00 within about 6 months of the accident.
Coley v. Carl Newsome, et. al. This case involved a car/train collision at a rural railroad crossing in Arkansas. After an investigation by our firm, it was discovered that the railroad crossing was grown up with vegetation and had not been properly maintained.
Confidential Due to a confidentiality agreement, the name of the case and the parties cannot be identified. The case involved extensive damages sustained by a land and business owner by adjacent land developers who failed to maintain proper erosion control measures. After filing suit and retaining experts, the matter proceeded through litigation and was hard fought before a settlement was obtained for our injured client to compensate for damages sustained.
Robyn Howard v. Aetna Life Insurance Company , Royal Sonesta, Inc., Sonesta International Hotel Corp., et al This case involved some newlyweds who went to New Orleans for their honeymoon. On the second night of the trip, the groom drowned in the hotel pool at the Royal Sonesta Hotel on Bourbon Street.

After a trial in Federal District Court in Memphis, the jury awarded a verdict in favor of our client for $411,600.00.

The 'data' in this post is anomalous - it's qualitative/experiential. I'm not requesting any replies. I just felt the need to write down some of my feelings, opinions and experiences. I thought that others might be interested to read.
- to be part of modern society where fathers are allowed to be SAHPs too!
According to KELA statistics in Finland, and depending exactly how one defines it, the ratio of SAH Moms/Dads seems to be between about 60/40 and 90/10. This seems about right to me at least based on the families we've seen.
- Cleaning is done by a cleaner twice a month.
- Groceries are bought on the internet and delivered to our door.
- I cook only very rarely; otherwise we eat out, or Annika cooks, or we have something light.
- Laundry I occasionally do during the day, but we normally do it together at evening/weekend.
- Zadie's clothes, toys, accessories are mostly done by Annika (or together) via flea markets.
If I do have spare time during the day (e.g. Zadie has napped for an hour or more), then I'm glad that I've often had time to do something for myself such as contacting a friend or spending some time on a geeky hobby (delectabledata.blogspot.com).
- Analysis of Zadie's night-time sleep with the night-vision camera.
- Automatic logging of lake temperature at the cabin/mökki.
My mental energy has been mostly filled with basic care things like Zadie's sleep, food and safety. It can be hard to remember to have fun with Zadie - when Annika comes home is so lovely to see the two of them often play/laugh together.
SAHP has felt very natural in many ways. Not at all as bad as I was fearing. My 5 months of SAHP has gone by fast. Although it has still been a challenge of course - returning to work will be easy after this! For the SHAP, there are dozens/hundreds of little considerations/tasks/plans. SAHPing can be very emotionally/analytically demanding. I often feel overwhelmed by the constant challenges, changes and failures, e.g. it has often been difficult to get Zadie to spend any time in the pram. SAHPing has been a great opportunity to have a sizeable break from work; I'm excited to see how my work-life changes in the future after this SAHP experience.
- My first working day with Zadie ('muskari' at Linja).
- Sometimes just holding her in my arms.
- When on holiday together - it's lovely the 3 of us.
- I've shouted with anger. Of course I'm not thinking clearly when e.g. I'm tired, I have too high expectations, a 100hr+ working week, and being human. Then follows guilt that this is too much for Zadie. I'm told that this is common in parenting - but somehow this doesn't help me much.
When I'm angry, part of it is really a feeling of fear that I'm a bad father. Of course it is not nice, but it happens. People have emotions. And there is a crumb of positive here in that Zadie gets to see a real/wholehearted/emotional person. Possible mantra: I'm a good-enough father.
Lack of control is annoying. E.g. I've just got Zadie to sleep, then there's a loud sound and it wakes her. Frustrating. Of course it's totally normal to feel disappointed/annoyed/negative in those situations, but it just feels too much sometimes. Though when looking back later that same day, I can see it didn't really matter that much after all! The benefit of hindsight and perspective!
I give myself a hard time with failure (e.g. Zadie in pram). I want perfection. I find it hard to just be happy that I tried and sometimes it works, sometimes not. As my father wisely said: childcare cannot be solved by equations, so stop trying.
Lots of change. Challenging. The support of Annika is lovely. Although sometimes feel guilty for needed it - how strange as she's my wife, friend and mother of my child. Probably a general theme about my not asking for help enough?
Nappy changes. For some reason I thought nappy changes would somehow be too challenging. They're not. A blessing! The vast majority of the time it's as simple as flicking a light-switch. In fact sometimes any part of baby-care can be easy peasy; but at other times those same things can feel insurmountable. Furthermore, on some days it can be difficult even to find time to get out of pyjamas, much less have a shower or eat properly.
It has too often felt lonely for me. I even put out a request for help on Facebook and it was lovely to get so many replies which made me feel less lonely. Though when I've later asked people one-to-one for spontaneous help most people's calendars are full - perhaps this is a peculiarity of modern busy scheduled life? Anyway, humans are mammals and surely babies should be brought up in a pack/tribe/community; it feels so unnatural to shut a parent indoors with babies/children for several years. Although luckily we've been out most days, often to the excellent city facilities like playgroup (singing, playing, eating, chatting with other SAHPs). But we have been fortune to have opportunities with neighbours, visits to other countries, cities, museums, galleries, shops, nature, baby cinema, swimming, baby massage, etc. It so easy getting around by bus and especially train - whilst travelling one can go to restaurant, toilet, play area, etc. To us using a car seems a more difficult option.
We have actually met lots of people and I've even kept my Finnish language skills brushed up. It is lovely to have a network of acquaintances. And it's easier to speak with random people in day-to-day life when I'm with Zadie. Although I'm often wishing to find people who I can connect much better/deeper with.
I've also enjoyed getting involved in community work with Zadie at my side. I've volunteered at Kalliolan setlementti by teaching (in Finnish) mathematics and Finnish to small groups.
There is so much advice out there on parenting. And people often seem so sure of it - I guess unsure people keep quiet. But when I ask people for the source/reference/evidence, there normally is not one. With my scientific training, my mind wants to know whether something really has any chance of working or not and whether it will have any lasting effect (?damage) on our baby. I find it a challenge to just 'trust' myself as a parent when in society we get trained/licences/support for so many things we do. But babies seem to be mostly a lighter and own-values-based approach. I could think in circles for hours on these things, so I won't.
We're happy that we've avoided TV. There were perhaps 2-3 taxi rides where she was very upset and we used some YouTube nursery rhymes to help her cope with the taxi ride. But that's about it.
I've been virtually 24/7 with Zadie for many months in a row. Strange. I have enjoyed a 'night off' sleeping away from home: a nice medicine/luxury to relax.
We've been ill a lot - about once a month. Flus, colds, tummy bugs. Yuck.
I'm grateful that Annika works normal (8am-4pm) workdays and does not work at home and very rarely travels for work. It's a great support for me, and of course it's great for Zadie--Annika relationship too. I've not found myself clock watching to count the hours until Annika comes home.
The new-born phase is now a distant dream - I can't quite remember it. I'm looking forward to when Zadie can talk with us and do cool things like baking.
The whole SAHP experience gives perspective in so many ways. One mundane thing is simply not worrying so much about stains on clothes, queues of laundry, dirty dishes, etc. There just isn't always time to sort out these things immediately any more. Even though I knew, or could have guessed, most of what I've written about being a SAHP - it's still an extra level of understanding to walk in the shoes of a SAHP. Certainly a training in empathy.
I love Zadie and Annika very much, and I surely now have more understanding/love/compassion for myself. I'm very happy to be Zadie's father and I hope we have a close relationship as she grows up. Bring on Life 2.0.

The struggle serves as a frame for Zvyangintsev’s political account of contemporary Russia. Zvyangintsev’s movie mercilessly portrays the state as a dysfunctional entity that condemns the innocent and protects the rich and the corrupt. It depicts courtrooms as shams, political leaders as thugs and orthodox priests as hypocritical accomplices.
The absence of justice in society is mirrored by the absence of tenderness at home. Solidarity and mutual understanding are rare, and individuals appear to evolve, for the most part, in selfish isolation. Zvyangintsev reveals these rifts in short and bitter ways as when Kolya’s wife, Lilya, reciprocates her husband’s ‘I love you’ with a remote ‘I know’. In that way, Leviathan is therefore far less hopeful than Ken Loach’s Jimmy’s Hall, a movie which shares the same theme of defending one’s rights against a corrupt elite: while the latter believes in the strength of a community uniting to uphold common ideals, the former despairs of a person’s inability to connect with others and prevail over the injustices at hand.
In addition to its political dimension, the movie powerfully explores the religious and philosophical depths of a person’s suffering. Leviathan only shows in passing the dramatic events which unfold, whether it be trials, fights or death. Instead, it concentrates its attention on the effects of those events, in particular on Kolya, and the spiritual questioning which ensues. In so doing, the movie portrays Kolya as a novel incarnation of Job, the biblical character persecuted by Satan in an agonising test of faith. In the Bible’s Book of Job, the power of the Leviathan, the mythical sea monster, is used by God to humble Job and ultimately save him: Job is convinced of his weakness and comes to accept his inability to understand God’s plan. In Zvyangintsev’s latest movie however, the many Leviathans that crush Kolya leave him lost and despaired – they bear no promise of redemption.
Leviathan succeeds in painting a world at once dark and sublime, where human presence appears precarious and transitory. The movie is framed at its beginning and end by immense and desolate landscapes – frozen fields, empty rivers and colossal waves beating on black rocks. Its colours are for the most part sombre and its music, composed by Philip Glass, majestically obsessive.
In one of the movie’s most striking moments, Kolya’s teenage son, Roma, discovers the immense skeleton of a whale, abandoned on a frozen beach; in a later scene, Lilya has a momentary glimpse of another whale, alive this time, emerging from the sea. Leviathan fascinates by the breadth of its scope and its singular apparitions: the corruption of a community and the suffering of an individual are displayed with the same menacing grace as the decaying carcass of a great whale or a fleeting shadow at sea.

Aren’t they glorious? Brooks’ mom estimates that his dad may have close to 30 sweaters (the one at the lower right with the beautiful colorful trim around the neck is hers). She knit the one at the lower right! At the far top left is a handknit beauty direct from Norway that I did some repairs on this summer. As I went to unpick the collar, I discovered that the original knitter had done an extremely good job in weaving in her ends — it took me 15 minutes to find the end, and another 15 minutes to unpick it.
Now that Christmas is over, we can finish up our late Christmas gifts start new projects for ourselves! Wouldn’t a gorgeous colorwork sweater be perfect for the chilly, gray months to come? I hope that you all had a lovely holiday and that 2017 brings you lots of joy and happiness! Starling the Labrador reminds you to stay cozy!
Beautiful! There is some serious Scandinavian blood running in those veins!

Anyone else getting charged cell data when on wifi?
Discussion in 'iOS 8' started by dictoresno, Oct 24, 2014.
I've noticed recently that my cell data usage has increased a lot. I just checked the verizon breakdown on their website and it shows me using large amounts of data while I'm on wifi at home. I know there are tons of other threads regarding wifi and iOS 8, but i briefly browsed them and they appear to be just about slow wifi.
Can anyone else check their usage and let me know if they are getting pegged for cellular data while they are on wifi?? This is BS! Or is it that the data usage timestamps are off and not actually the time of use?
Turn mobile data off when you are at home to verify the problem. If you have WIFI issues the phone might revert back to mobile data, which would explain why you get charged for it.
I'm also seeing this issue after upgrading to iOS 8. In fact, it first started happening with iOS 8.02 where, when I'm at home and on a good Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi connection on my 5S drops and the phone reverts back to a 3G connection.
If you don't keep an eye on the status bar, you don't see it happening - and if you happen to be streaming YouTube video or the like, then you'll be doing all that over cellular. (As I've never had this problem before, it was easy to miss). I then have to go into settings and toggle Wi-Fi off and on again for it to reconnect.
Now I'm now paranoid and am always checking the status bar when surfing at home.
This never used to happen before - it's an issue that has started happening for me after upgrading to 8.02. As a result, my data usage has significantly increased this month.
For some people turning off Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services ->WiFi Networking solves iOS 8.n WIFI problems.
known issue going back to iOS 6 for some people.
Yea I remember old threads from years ago with people having the same issue but it wasn't present for me on all iterations of iOS 7. Just started with iOS 8. Gonna beg verizon to see if there's any way they can get me on a better plan for nothing.
If it's any consolation I'm having this issue where ios 8.1 is using cellular data even while on wifi. The funny thing is thay the cellular data counter would show no data usage increase but the carrier app shows data usage as if there is a data leak while on wifi.
Try a network settings reset. Doesn't wipe data from the phone, though you will need to reenter wifi passwords.
Unless something was changed in iOS 8, "Always on WIFI" isn't an option on iOS like it is on Windows Phone or Android.
iOS will drop the wifi connection when the device goes into sleep mode and start using cell data automatically. It will quickly reconnect to wifi when you interact with your phone again.
Only way to force it to stay on wifi is to turn cell data off.
So depending on how many notifications, emails etc you receive when the device is in sleep mode, they will come in on cellular data not wifi.
How much data are you talking about? A couple meg/or 100's?
What app or change did you make 10 days ago that started using more cell data when the phone is asleep? It's not going to use cell data when the phone is awake and on wifi.
8.1 has improved my wifi greatly. But even then, I noticed my iPhone 6 dropped it's wifi-N connection during the night, but did connect to the G band. Was happening much more pre 8.1, and then, might not grab the G connection. No such issues on my iPad 3.
Otherwise, not noticing any extra cellular usage, usual culprits of streaming audio, mail, Safari. GPS ("Time & Location" under "System") seems to be a bit of a hog, so, maybe disable GPS when at home.
One thing to maybe help out: if your wifi is setup to not broadcast the SSID, reconfigure to broadcast the SSID. Lots of posts on the interwebs re: not broadcasting SSID isn't really protecting you, and can be a security hole.
Back to point, with SSID broadcasting, I've noticed that my phone will connect up to wifi much quicker, so, can possibly have those moments when phone is sleeping and on cellular, when it wakes to do something in the background, better chance of getting onto wifi before all the phone's chores are done.

So this is something I'd like to understand. As stated on this main project page, Mises Wiki content is released under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license while Wikipedia is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license.
Now. The only difference between these two is that the latter requires any derivative works to be distributed under the same or a similar license. In other words, the content itself is freely copyable, distributable, and adaptable, but any new work created using it must also be made freely copyable, distributable, and adaptable. That's the whole point of the "share alike" provision.
This means that in the case of the Mises Wiki (as it does not have this provision), the content itself is freely copyable, distributable, and adaptable, but any derivative work made using this content falls under normal copyright law...meaning that anything anyone makes using content from our Mises Wiki, they have an intellectual monopoly on, and all they have to do is attribute the base work.
Thanks for the quick response and suggestion for the info source, but I didn't find much of a discussion there. The only addressing of this was your first post (which said even less about my question than you did here), and Jeff Tucker mentioning how Kinsella suggested a hybrid to allow Wikipedia content. Is there more discussion elsewhere?
It’s a bit too paternalistic, rude, untrusting, to force others to do it like you do, to assume they’ll “abuse” their power. And, it might stop the work from being re-published. We want our libertarian ideas spread far and wide. I want an editor of a book considering reprinting one of our pieces to see no obstacles. A “viral share-alike” provision could be. Let ideas be free.
Hmm, I guess that's why mw:Manual:$wgRightsIcon was left blank until recently! Some of our pages are imported from Wikipedia, so it's not really appropriate to have that icon at the bottom of those pages. I've thought that it might be good to create an extension that will change the copyright notice depending on how individual pages are licensed; I even filed a bug along similar (although not identical) lines. I will get to work on this immediately, and see how practicable it is. I don't like to see pages not have any license notice at all, because then people might not realize they can copy our content without asking permission.
