No matter if you travel long distances, or you just use your car to drive to the work and back, it is crucial to check your tire pressure on a regular basis. Not only it is essential for a comfortable driving, but also it is safe. You should know what the appropriate tire pressure for your car is. If you don’t, it would be wise to contact manufacturers and check. Overinflating your tires can hurt them. Thanks to the proper pressure, your tires will achieve maximum functionality.
Benefits of monitoring tire pressure on a regular basis
You can use a device called tire gauge to check the condition of these parts of your vehicle. It will tell you whether it is time to inflate them or not. The first benefit is that you will reduce the consumption of fuel. As a result, you will save a lot of money you would otherwise spend on this expense. The second advantage is that you will extend the lifespan of your tires. Thanks to the pressure monitoring on a regular basis, you won’t have to worry about replacing them prematurely. You will be able to relax knowing you won’t need new tires anytime soon.
The third benefit is being able to handle your vehicle more safely and efficiently than before. It is especially useful when on the road with a lot of curves and obstacles. Finally, you will help the environment because the right pressure decreases gas emissions. Make sure you have a device for measuring pressure by your side anywhere you go. If you don’t and have no idea where to purchase it, take a look at tire pressure gauge review.
How to take care of your wheels?
The first thing you should do is to check the valve covers. You need to make sure they are in a proper position. There shouldn’t be any leakage of air. Also, you should check the wheels of your car, as well as air pressure in your tires at least once or twice a week. It is possible thanks to various measure tools. The gap between two checks depends on how much you use your vehicle.
It is crucial to perform pressure checks after using your car. Let it cool down for two or three hours, and after that, it is time to take a Motor Luxe tire gauge and measure their pressure. Thanks to the regular checks, you will avoid premature damage to your wheels. Finally, keep in mind that, if you add extra weight to your car, you should increase the pressure of your tires. Sometimes, when people go on a long trip, with a lot of heavy things, they forget to increase the pressure. Something like this can have an adverse impact on their wheels.

CANAAN - By late winter, residents in the Canaan area, one of the most rural areas of the state, will have a medical clinic in their community.
Indian Stream Health Center in Colebrook, NH, plans to open a satellite medical office at Canaanâ€™s Northeast Kingdom Community Action (NEKCA) building as soon as March 2014. Indian Stream Health Center obtained a federal grant of $456,793 from Sen. Bernie Sanders to open the clinic.
â€śThis is great,â€ť said Joe Patrissi, NEKCA executive director of the partnership between the two entities. â€śIt means low-income people will have access to health care.â€ť
ALBANY â€“ It is against Vermont state law to cut more than 40 acres of trees without receiving approval from the state, and it is also against Vermont law to disrupt water flow or allow debris to enter steams within the state without a permit. The state has been working with an Orleans man for years over issues with his logging practices in Albany. Finally the state has a preliminary injunction to help force the man to comply with the laws.
NEWPORT CITY - A 2011 youth risk behavior study showed Vermont has one of the highest rates for underage drinking in the country, and Orleans County ranks one of the highest counties in the state.

Brain tumours are to be used in a revolutionary treatment to fight the patient ’s cancer.
Cells from the tumour will form part of personalised vaccines set to be tried in Britain for the first time.
Survival times in the UK after diagnosis are around 18 months.
But in two US trials the new immune therapy – called DCVax-L – extended patient survival to three years, without toxic side effects.
Keyoumars Ashkan, of King’s College Hospital in South London, said: “We are hopeful that similar results will be seen in the large clinical trial which we are now helping to bring to the UK.
“Brain cancers are some of the most lethal cancers, and there is a great need for better treatments.”
Patients will have as much of their tumour removed as possible before it is sent for analysis at King’s College London.
Experts then use extracts of the tumour itself mixed with the patient’s own blood cells to create a vaccine which triggers their immune system to kill the cancer.
After six weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the vaccine will be injected into the patient 10 times over two years.
The treatment has been developed by a US company.

The Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro (1893-1948) is one of the most important figures in 20th-century Hispanic poetry and, along with César Vallejo, one of the pioneering avant-gardists in Spanish. Like Vallejo, he lived for many years in Paris but, unlike his Peruvian contemporary, he participated fully in the city's various artistic movements. Influenced initially by Apollinaire, Huidobro fell in early with both forward-looking French writers such as Pierre Reverdy, and with the Spanish expatriate colony, including Picasso and Picabia.
Originally from an upper-class Santiago family, Huidobro was fortunate to have the means to support himself and his family while he found his artistic way, and — after an early phase writing in a quasi-symbolist style in his native city — he threw himself into the Parisian artistic milieu with a passion, quickly becoming a notable figure. He also wrote in French — sometimes translating his own works into French, sometimes composing in both languages. His early forays in French were a little uncertain and the manuscripts show corrections by Picabia and Reverdy among others.
Octavio Paz referred to Huidobro as el oxígeno invisible (the invisible oxygen) of Latin American poetry, reflecting the fact that his influence was felt by poets right across the continent; in fact he was probably the major link between the European avant-garde and progressive literary circles in Latin America.
He was a also a successful novelist (Mio Cid Campeador — published in English translation in 1932 as Portrait of a Paladin), a would-be screenwriter (his script for a silent movie called Cagliostro won a major prize but was never filmed), a polemicist (writer of artistic manifestoes & founder of Creationism, with the Spanish poet Gerardo Diego), politician (a sometime member of the Communist Party, he also ran for the Presidency of Chile as leader of the Youth Party, which he founded), and a journalist (foreign correspondent in World War II). Huidobro was a restless soul and an artist of the very highest calibre. Today he is perhaps most revered for his extraordinary long poem Altazor, written over a period of some 12 years and finally published in 1931. (A superb translation of this work by Eliot Weinberger is available from Wesleyan University Press.) Less known is the long prose poem Temblor de cielo, published in the same year and written in the two years prior to its publication. Huidobro regarded the two works as his artistic testament, and the summation of his work at that point in time.
Altazor is the archetypal modernist Big Poem and belongs with other titanic efforts such as The Cantos, The Waste Land, and Trilce. It is fragmentary and alludes to the glories of the future, symbolised by flight. Temblor is more apparently unified, although this might owe more to its style of delivery: an ecstatic outpouring of words that largely revolve around the themes of love, sex and death. The Isolde to whom much of the poem is addressed is an idealised feminine figure who is part goddess, part idealised beloved, part Isolde from Wagner's opera and part Ximena Amunátegui, the young woman who had become the poet's second wife in the late 1920s. The poem is also a sustained lyric effusion of a kind that Huidobro had never produced before, and it marks the point at which his work moves on from the barnstorming avant-garderie of his younger years to a more grounded and mature style. It is also the last time that Huidobro was to adopt the godlike narrative persona that occurs in the earlier work. In Temblor, God is dead, or at least, an irrelevance. By implication, the godlike poet has also passed on.
The poem exists in two versions, one in Spanish and one in French. There is some doubt over which version has primacy, although it has been argued convincingly that the French version precedes the Spanish, if not throughout its composition. The present translation is from the Spanish, but the French has been referred to throughout, in both cases in the versions published in the UNESCO Obra poética of Huidobro. The translation of the title requires a mention: in Chilean Spanish, a temblor is an earthquake. Hence, one valid translation of the title is Skyquake (and indeed this was my initial version). However the French version of the title is Tremblement de ciel, clearly a milder form than ‘quake', notwithstanding the massive quake that occurs in the poem itself. In view of this I have opted for the milder English form of ‘Sky Tremor'. Neither version is absolutely correct: I suggest that you choose the one you prefer.
For those interested in the original Spanish text, there is a good, and cheap, reading version from Cátedra in Madrid, coupled with Altazor, and edited by René de Costa. The French version can only be had in the UNESCO edition of the Obra poética (ed. Cedomil Goic). The best general introduction to the poet is Vicente Huidobro: The Careers of a Poet by René de Costa (OUP, 1984).

With his first Inspector Shan novel, Eliot Pattison seized the holy grail of mystery writing, the Edgar Award for Best First Novel. “Soul of the Fire” is the eighth book in this series and continues themes established in prior Inspector Shan novels. For this interview, Pattison discussed why he writes what might be called “heavy” novels—deep in complexity and above all, thought provoking.
“I don’t write escapist pulp,” said Pattison. “My books require an investment of time and emotion. I have always believed that the best books are those which transport the reader to new places and perspectives, that cause the reader to think a little differently about their life and their world. In trying to meet this challenge I weave elements of history, culture, politics and spirituality into my plots and backstories.”
Pattison also said that each of his books is a journey of discovery, both for himself and his readers. Even after having written eight books in this series, he’s driven to learn more. He said, “While I am fairly well-versed in the backdrops of both my Shan books and my colonial America series, I always introduce an element that requires me to dig deeper, to stretch myself so that I can pick up some new knowledge along the way. I want my readers to learn something new but first I want to learn too.”
Tibet and central Asia offer what Pattison refers to as amazingly fertile ground for the novelist. “The geographic, political and cultural landscape has allowed me to develop different, and distinct, perspectives in each of my Shan novels—the plots and backstories have featured Mt. Everest trekking, international art theft, Tibetan medicine, Buddhist reincarnation, the 1904 British invasion of Tibet, and even the fascinating parallels between Tibetans and the tribes of the American Southwest.”
A traveler for most of his life, Pattison regards each book as a journey. He said, “After writing several books in each of my two series, these recurring characters have become close companions on my journeys. They linger at the edge of my consciousness and sometimes appear in my dreams. This years-long companionship makes the writing process flow more fluently since I quickly know how they will react when I throw an obstacle or crisis at them—although sometimes they surprise me.”
Pattison’s “Bone Rattler” series follows an exiled Scot who is caught in the middle of the 18th Century’s French and Indian War. The Inspector Shan series, while current day, deals with the difficult issues surrounding China’s occupation of Tibet. Pattison said, “Embedded in all the Shan books is a reflection of what fifty years of harsh occupation does to a deeply spiritual indigenous people who pay a terrible price for following the non-violent, no-resistance teachings of their religion.
“In this context, ‘Soul of the Fire’ focuses on the wrenching self-immolations that Tibetans resort to as a last, desperate way to protest their treatment by Beijing. Along the way I raise provoking questions about the reaction of the West and the impotence of the United Nations in dealing with human rights issues. Concurrently I explore the effects of occupation on the occupiers; my protagonist in this series is Chinese, and all the Shan books reflect the emotional and spiritual fatigue plaguing those engaged in the deliberate, often violent, dismantling of this unique and vibrant culture.”
Pattison also quoted J. R. R. Tolkien, who once said, “Not all those who wander are lost.” Pattison, however, said his life might be the converse. “I think I might be lost without my wandering. I have traveled all my life, with an ever-changing scope of geography and destinations, and at all levels of the travel food chain. I started in sleeping bags on remote mountains, then youth hostels, and later played the role of the higher end Conde Nast traveler.
“Long ago, however, I came to realize that the experiences we are pushed to seek by the travel establishment often keep us in a bubble, shielded from the experiences that make travel so worthwhile. My destinations are faraway places where I can rediscover wonder, where I can experience childlike humility, where I can realize how ignorant I am of the lives lived by millions. Ultimately those experiences have become my destinations: I travel for the journey, not the bed at the end of the road.”

At Demo Day last year, Amish Shah saw potential.
At Demo Day this year, he saw polish, resonant pitches and nine companies poised to make it big.
More than 200 entrepreneurs, potential investors and corporate-types gathered Tuesday afternoon on the fifth floor of uptown startup hub Packard Place to see the third class of companies emerge from the intensive 12-week RevTech Labs program.
The program, which got more than 100 applicants, entitles a select group of startup founders to four months of free workspace and mentoring, as they develop their products, nail their presentations and shore up their business models.
Shah, founding partner of Charlotte-based Sierra Maya Ventures, one of the world’s top-ranked seed venture funds, is their lead adviser.
Shah says after Demo Day last year – his first introduction to Packard Place – he saw in RevTech an opportunity to raise the profile of Charlotte’s up-and-coming startup scene. And this year’s class didn’t disappoint.
The companies ran the gamut from a mobile-gaming platform founded by a developer and Hollywood screenwriter ( Kydaemos) to an app that helps professionals save and share restaurant recommendations ( Paradine) to a company that lets veterinarians offer tele-medical services and conduct consultations for cash ( ItsYourVet).
Many of them already have customers and a revenue stream.
Three of the companies attended TechCrunch Disrupt, a NYC-based conference that’s a magnet for angel investors, venture capitalists and the strongest up-and-coming tech startups.
And, announced at Demo Day, Charlotte-based eCampus – an online tool that helps college students find compatible roommates, sell textbooks and connect with classmates who have similar interests – will be only the 20th company and first in the Southeast to make it on WeFunder, an exclusive crowdfunding platform for accredited investors.
Thousands of companies apply to be on WeFunder every month, Shah said, because more than 28,000 accredited investors use it to fund promising companies.
The companies like eCampus that make it through the vetting process are “like a Porsche,” Shah said. “Got to be good.”
And now, accredited investors eying RevTech companies have a new way to fund their operations: a 506(c) index fund created by Shah and Dan Roselli, founder of Packard Place.
The fund will allow accredited investors – with either an annual income of $200,000 or a net worth of $1 million – to invest a minimum of $10,000 across all nine companies, increasing their chances of a higher return.
The fund will be open until Friday, Shah said.
Companies are allowed to use the funds for everything from office space and hiring, to product development and marketing.
After eCampus co-founders Justin Gaither and Dan Thibodeau, the final presenters, stepped out of the spotlight, the audience gave all of the RevTech companies a round of applause that echoed in the room.
And Shah, watching from the sidelines, teared up.

According to recent guidance published by the ICO, tweets addressed to an institution may constitute valid Freedom of Information (FOI) requests.
Twitter may not be the ideal means for submitting and responding to FOI requests, however, provided that a request complies with the requirements in Section 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, there's no reason why it can't be submitted via this medium. Notably, a valid FOI request requires the requestor's real name, therefore, an institution in receipt of a request submitted using a pseudonym will not be obliged to respond (unless the requestor's real name is provided e.g. within their tweet or Twitter profile).
The ICO is of the opinion that a request in a tweet that only refers to an institution in an @mention is directed to and received by that institution. This means that colleges and universities may be required to exercise increased diligence in monitoring @mentions of itself on Twitter.
In summary, HE and FE institutions with Twitter accounts should now look at having procedures in place for dealing with FOI requests submitted through this channel. Further details are on the ICO website. JISC Legal also provides useful guidance on dealing with FOI requests.

That sounds odd, did you click "Create Item" in the Showcase menu and select the "Voicebank" option in the Category bar afterwards?
I don't think that points are needed to post to the Showcase.
Wow, this vb sounds very promising! Keep up the good work :love:

Solar & wind power now cheapest source of energy
The Chinese government’s changing attitude to solar power has made solar and onshore wind energy generation methods the cheapest new ways to create electricity, according to a new analysis from Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
This year the Chinese government has capped the rate of new installations of PV cells and reduced feed-in tariffs for solar energy, but also announced it would offer non-monetary incentives to aid solar and wind power to achieve a more equal footing on energy markets.
This slow-down in monetary incentives in solar has led to a glut of solar energy hardware destined for China coming onto the world market, which has driven down prices of solar installations.
Across the world, the cost of new (non-tracking – i.e. static) solar panel energy production fell to $60/MWh in the second half of this year, a 13 percent fall from the first semester of 2018.
“It is now hard to deny that wind and solar PV are as cheap or cheaper than coal and gas, just about everywhere,” said Tifenn Brandily, an analyst with Bloomberg New Energy Finance, and the report’s author. “And combined with battery storage they are also now increasingly able to compete with fossil fuel alternatives for hours when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining.”
While panels that tilt in one or two axises gather more sunlight and therefore produce more power, their manufacture, installation and maintenance costs are higher than fixed, or non-tilting installations.
Brandily continues, “Batteries are also today the cheapest source of fast-response flexibility and peaking capacity everywhere except the US where cheap gas still has an edge. As technology costs continue to decline it’s a matter of when, not if, these new energy technologies will disrupt electricity systems all over the world.”
The reference here is to the comparative costs of stored power from solar installations being able to compete in cost with gas to cope with sudden peaks in demand.
U.S. coal plant retirements are near an all-time high with 16 gigawatts of coal-fired power plants already retired this year and 4 more expected to close by year-end. Learn more in this report excerpt. https://t.co/JKHk0dG47f
— BloombergNEF (@BloombergNEF) November 23, 2018
For new installations of power generation capability, therefore, coal is no longer the go-to choice on pure cost terms. This is true for all the major economies in the world with the exception of Japan, but including China and India.
In India, the latest solar and onshore wind plants are now half the cost of new coal facilities, which should ensure that countries move away from polluting energy sources, at last.
By 2030, Bloomberg New Energy Finance expects the cost of new coal & gas plants to remain fairly constant, but new large-scale static solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities’ costs will drop by 41 percent. Similarly, the costs of onshore wind farms will fall by a further 25 percent.
Furthermore, as the market for batteries for electric cars continues to rise, battery technology costs are expected to fall by up to 66 percent by 2030. This will have a knock-on effect for utility-scale PV power generation, driving costs down further in that sector.
Batteries combined with solar PV or wind are becoming more common, and BNEF’s analysis predicts that new solar and wind paired with four-hour battery storage systems can already be cost-competitive without government subsidies.
The findings come from BNEF’s “2H 2018 LCOE” report, published on Monday last week.

As someone who speaks freely and at times controversially, Bill- C 51 has me worried. I have no terrorist ideals or sympathies but I am afraid the width of the net the conservative government is casting over us will not filter out legitimate discourse and dissension.
To put Bill C-51 in perspective, these measures and powers would have prevented the American Revolution. Benjamin Franklin would not be on a currency he would currently be behind bars and Paul Revere would have a hard time mounting his horse with handcuffs. The dissenting churches of that era would have been without the ministers who preached revolutionary themes. American defiance would have been defined as terrorist activity. Closer to home the Red River resistance and the Metis who argued against and stood up to the transfer of their territory would have been unable to defend their culture. The province of Manitoba may have been something different.
We can find complacency and comfort in the conclusion that such resistance has no place in a civilized and democratic nation but we can look at history and other locals and find grievous governments. A belief that nothing of the sort should happen in Canada is now being guaranteed by Bill C-51.
It appears that Bill C-51 furthers the agenda of conservatives more than the agenda of all Canadians. If it did not fit neatly into conservative vision we would be seeing something different. It raises red flags when the government is resisting in depth analysis, expert testimony and open comprehensive debate. Many prominent and professional citizens are questioning aspects of Bill C-51 and are openly being ignored or silenced with trimmed meetings and hearings. Why would a government ignore and muzzle individuals with expert testimony and who are calling for more oversight provisions? Shouldn’t a government embrace oversight to ensure fairness and prevent abuse? Is the need to push Bill C-51 through pragmatic or political?
I can see in Bill C-51 a remedy to a degree of terrorist activity and I embrace that but as it is vaguely stated I also see the ability of government and government agencies to quell legitimate though unfavourable or disruptive democratic dissent. Organizations, individuals and activities that we would rationally recognize as being non-terrorist can and may be exposed to scrutiny and impedance. What would have been previously recognized as problematic but not sinister or threatening to national security or public safety can now be categorized, contained and diffused using Bill C-51.
Individual freedom and the right to communicate, organize and express dissatisfaction with government, government agencies or even corporations can be suffocated if they threaten economic activity. Many will consider themselves unaffected in their conservative comfort but what would happen and how would democracy operate or be disabled if we find a distasteful or fanatical government at the helm. It is not beyond the realm of possibilities for an overbearing faction to find itself in power. There are those that enjoy Stephen Harper but what if the NDP formed government and their leader lost his or her marbles? Would we have the ability to rise against or resist the potential chaos?
Presently, we can collude with others and organize and implement civil disobedience and even enact a degree of economic disruption to further our message and gain support or bring about the change we seek. Following 3 days of debate you could find your phone tapped or be detained because of your efforts. My fears are not for terrorists or for myself; they are for any citizen or group of citizens who may be unable to avail themselves of dissension, assembly and demonstration.
I am uncomfortable with security and police agencies under the direction of government deciding what is inherently dangerous. The potential for abuse exists and perceptions of what is terrorist activity can change according to time, place and circumstance. Further, it can be influenced by government. We can find some comfort that judges may be given this oversight but judges are not elected.
I do not advocate violence in any form but under Bill C-51 if I argue in favour of violence without directly urging it I will be the subject of a cavity search and more. If I say the Ukraine should resist Russia with violence does not directly threaten violence. I would simply be expressing an argument and leaving others to decide on its merits. This is not terrorism it is free speech. If you believe these measure will only be used on cowards who behead innocents I think you have lost yours.
We can argue that in a democracy we have the power and ability to remove unsavory governments using the voting system. What if government alters that ability? What if a term of office is altered by the government itself? Stephen Harper has done these things. No? What if waiting the length of the term would be catastrophic? Consider the changes a moderate party and government can enact in a term of office. Someone or a group in power could be mad and do more. Canadian’s don’t elect madmen but sometimes power itself corrupts and one is created. Should Canadians have the ability to overthrow a government?
If the ability to demonstrate and apply pressure on government is removed or impaired to any extent democracy itself is undermined. One person, one vote is a premise of democracy but protest is a promise that propels change and even if disruptive can be a protection for us all.

The 7129 alloy reinforced with titanium and vanadium, provides an incredibly rigid, lightweight and durable aluminium. Its weight is slightly higher than that of a carbon frame, which is around 1,100 grams.
The main difference with conventional aluminum is that it is made with vanadium and titanium, which gives it excellent properties. Compared to alloys 6013, 6066 and 6069, the 7129 is more rigid and strong. Compared with 7005 aluminum, it is lighter and more rigid. It also stands out for being much more resistant to oxidation and corrosion. It is widely applied in aeronautics, automotive, ships and engine construction.
The aim of Vitoria was to innovate in this field and change the current concept betting on increasing the quality and performance of aluminum road bikes, then taking it to the high range. Thus we offer a product that is nothing compared with the products widespread in the Spanish market.
The fork is 100% UD carbon (including the steering head) which increases the absorption of vibrations and also reduces the bicycle weight.
Vitoria Nyxtralight is a perfect option for those who are looking for a super light and resistant bicycle, made with alternative and very high quality materials.
The design maintains classic and clean lines, keeping the latest technological developments, with total internal cable routing, conification of the steering tube, flattening of some parts of the tubes where the frame receives more tensions and an oversized bottom bracket, which provides greater stability during the riding.


Twenty new cases of measles have been reported as the outbreak in the Swansea area continues.
Public Health Wales is continuing to urge parents to ensure their children receive the MMR vaccination as it investigates the new cases in the Swansea and Neath Port Talbot area.
The new cases bring the total number of cases to 209. The majority of the latest infections are in the Swansea area.
Dr Marion Lyons, Director of Health Protection for Public Health Wales, said that "measles is a very contagious disease."
All children who have not been fully immunised face a life-long risk of catching measles.
Most people make a full recovery but there is a rare possibility of severe complications including serious eye disorders, deafness, brain damage and even death.
Measles can be prevented by use of the safe and highly effective measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Parents can easily protect their children by having them immunised with the MMR vaccine. After completing a two-dose course of MMR, 99 per cent of children will be protected against measles.
Parents of all children aged between one and 18 who have not been fully vaccinated are being advised to contact their GP for advice and to get their child vaccinated as soon as possible.

Martin D-15M Burst Acoustic Guitar
The Martin D-15M acoustic guitar is a throwback to Martin's Style 15 models, which had their heyday back in the 1940s. A departure from Martin's more common spruce-topped models, the D-15M features an A-frame-X-braced mahogany top on an all-mahogany dreadnought body. A truly unique instrument, you'll find that the deep overtones of this all-mahogany dreadnought is perfect for filling out higher vocals and accompanying brighter spruce-topped acoustic guitars. If you're looking for an acoustic that combines complex tones and powerful projection, you're going to love the Martin D-15M!
All-mahogany body provides a rich and full voice
Join generations of singer/songwriters who have discovered the magic of a guitar like the Martin D-15M. The solid mahogany top, back, neck, and sides of the D-15M give it a darker and fuller voice than typical spruce-topped guitars. This complex voice is perfect for filling out the sound of a higher voice, making it a favorite among solo artists everywhere. Ask the guitar experts at Sweetwater - mahogany bodied acoustics, like the Martin D-15M, have a wonderful voice for studio and live work.
An amazingly comfortable guitar
You don't often come across an acoustic dreadnought that can easily be described as comfortable. The Martin D-15M is one of those rare exceptions, which alone makes it an impressive instrument. Part of what makes this guitar so easy to play is the way its satin-finished neck feels on your hand. And combined with Martin's low oval neck carve, arguably one of the most comfortable neck carves ever made, the D-15M just feels right in your arms. Pick one up, and you'll know exactly what me mean!

Look in the dictionary. Under “mockery” you might just find the definition: “NHL-NHLPA labor negotiations.”
After just two days, the league and the locked-out Players Association are done with non-binding federal mediation, for now, at least, according to NHLPA Executive Director Don Fehr.
“Today, players and NHLPA staff, along with representatives of the league, concluded a second day of mediation under the auspices of the FMCS (Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service),” Fehr said in a statement. “This afternoon, the mediators informed the parties that they did not think it was productive to continue the discussions further today. The mediators indicated that they would stay in contact with the league and the NHLPA, and would call the parties back together when they thought the time was right.”
OK, if the time is not right, right now, exactly when is the right time? Just help me try to understand here.
“Today, we concluded two days of mediation with FMCS mediators and representatives of the NHL Players’ Association,” NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a separate statement. “After spending several hours with both sides over two days, the presiding mediators concluded that the parties remained far apart, and that no progress toward a resolution could be made through further mediation at this point in time. We are disappointed that the mediation process was not successful.”
Upon the collapse of the attempted non-binding mediation, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman proposed to Fehr a meeting putting players-only and owners in a room. The NHLPA will consider this and the goings-on during the brief mediation process during an internal meeting with its executive board and negotiating committee.
Without using the D-word, it certainly seems like decertification will be a hot topic again and Bettman’s desire to get his owners into a room with the players an attempt to keep the union from considering that potentially nuclear option.
And, frankly, to me, it seems the league’s attempt to get the owners and players together is an attempt to drive a wedge between Fehr and the union. My guess would be, if this proposed meeting does come off, the players would emerge more unified than ever.
From the league’s standpoint, the next big date may be Wednesday, when the Board of Governors is scheduled to meet. This could be a last, best chance for more moderate voices - and I certainly believe that would include the Rangers’ Jim Dolan - to be heard. And with the Rangers’ value estimated at $750 million yesterday by Forbes - second in the NHL behind the Maple Leafs ($1 billion) - I find it hard to believe that Dolan, with a renovated Madison Square Garden and its brand-new suites ready to bring in even more money, doesn’t want to slap some sense into his fellow owners.

Search and Replace
WHEN ATTEMPTING to enter or reenter the United States, noncitizens and citizens alike have become accustomed to all manner of searches. Luggage is examined at international airports by agents looking for illegal drugs, smuggled fruit, explosive devices and other forms of contraband. At the border, agents routinely search vehicles even when they don't have reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. The Supreme Court has upheld such searches and unanimously concluded that the government's "interest in preventing the entry of unwanted persons and effects is at its zenith at the international border." Border searches, the justices have said, "are reasonable simply by virtue of the fact that they occur at the border."
Recently, the Department of Homeland Security disclosed that it is using the same broad authority to search travelers' laptop computers and other electronic devices. This may very well be legal under existing laws; two federal appeals courts have concluded as much. But it should not remain U.S. policy.
Laptops have become the repository of people's most private thoughts, their most sensitive financial, medical and professional documents. Unlike a hard-copy book or notebook, the entire contents of a laptop -- including a history of Web sites visited -- can be copied with a push of a button. These copies can then be disseminated to various government agencies. This capacity to store a vast array of information opens up possibilities for mischief that do not exist with more traditional receptacles of information; it also makes laptops potentially invaluable tools for law enforcement.
The Department of Homeland Security argues that it has the right to search and seize a laptop without a warrant or even suspicion. Yet it concedes that it is impossible for it to conduct searches on every laptop that enters the country. As a result, the department says it already applies a "reasonable suspicion" standard to determine which laptops to search. For security reasons, the department declines to say what triggers such "reasonable suspicion." But the standard is generally so low that it can be triggered by a traveler's appearing nervous or giving inconsistent answers to routine questions, such as how long and where he or she will be staying while in the country.
The reasonable-suspicion standard should be written into law. Legislation should also specify that owners of laptops must be present while an agent conducts a preliminary search. Line agents should be required to get approval from a supervisor before copying files from or seizing a laptop and must be able to articulate, at that point, that there is probable cause to believe the laptop owner may have violated U.S. law.
These reasonable compromises should in no way impede the government's ability to search laptops for such things as child pornography or terrorist plans. But they would go a long way toward giving the average, innocent traveler some protection against frivolous or mischievous intrusions.

- increasing community awareness of asbestos and asbestos containing materials;
- educating the community on the risks involved with incorrect removal and disposal of asbestos;
- increasing understanding for trade apprentices and employers;
- minimising community concern and promoting community confidence in the way the Tasmanian Government manages materials containing asbestos; and
- informing the community about new statutory compensation laws for occupational exposure.

Say Hello to Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick
Joe Schreiber's young adult novel Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick is quite possibly the most fun novel I've read all year. The novel is a slim 200 pages of pure adrenaline and fun. It is a must read for anyone who craves action flicks and guess what? The film rights to Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick have already been snatched up by Paramount. If I had to sum up this novel in a sentence I'd tell you it's one heck of a ride. Don't take my word for it though, check out Danielle's review.
In a book that is little shy of two hundred pages, a lot happens. Perry’s world is literally flipped upside down in the course of one night.One minute Perry and Gobi are at prom, and then they are in a New York City club and a dead man is being flown through a window and landing on Perry’s car. The events in the book continue in a rapid-fire pace until the very last chapter. The quick pace wraps the reader up in the action of the book, feeling flung around and confused at times just like Perry is. The fight and action sequences of the book occur very quickly, but are detailed enough that the reader understands who is fighting who and what is occurring. The plot builds momentum until the climax where a large, epic, action-packed scene occurs that wraps up the major storylines in a hail of bullets.

Rob Gronkowski is officially unofficially coming back for the 2019-2020 season, if you just take this one innocuous event, fill in the gaps, project your wants and needs, and pretend Gronk is going to gain back the 45 pounds he lost this offseason to get game-ready. Easy peesy!
With the Patriots heading to training camp in 2.5 weeks, Tom Brady recruited his old buddy to throw to during a private workout Monday on the UCLA campus. Gronk was in Los Angeles to attend the second annual Monster Energy $50K Charity Challenge Celebrity Basketball Game at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion on Monday night.
TMZ Sports caught up with Gronk at the charity event that night and asked him about throwing with the legend he spent nearly a decade with in a professional setting.
“It was great working out. Tom needs someone to throw to so, you know, he calls Mr. Reliable Robbie G the one and only!”
Gronkowski told Rich Eisen last week that he’s enjoying retirement, but there still may be an itch that needs scratching once the season starts up.
“I can’t really say how I’m going to feel about it when the games start rolling around and everything.”
On top of that, sources revealed to Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman that Gronk’s return is just a matter of time.
“The belief is that once the season gets going, and Gronkowski starts missing football, he will rejoin the team,” Freeman wrote. “It’s not just a hunch, sources say; you can count on it.”
If the Patriots lose to the Jets or Dolphins early in the season, every eye in New England will turn to the greatest tight end to ever play.

Photo Gallery: Day Two of the Wells Fargo Ski Cup (with video)
Winter Park Resort woke up to about four new inches of snow this morning, but that didn’t stop an enormous crowd from coming our to support the 43rd Annual Wells Fargo Ski Cup. Racers and spectators braved sub-freezing temperatures and bitter, frigid winds to assure the Corporate Challenge went off without a hitch.

“It’s good to be part of a winning team,” said Gerald Hayden, a former Paralympian who participated on team Future Leaders 2. “It was good. It’s a pretty straight course. I just tried to open it up and it worked out across the finish line.”
While victory always tastes good, the primary focus of the event is raising money for the National Sports Center for the Disabled. The Wells Fargo Ski Cup acts as the NSCD’s biggest fundraiser of the year, reeling in more than $250,000 for the organization last year.
“What an amazing day,” said Kim Easton, president and CEO at the NSCD. “There’s people everywhere, with so much enthusiasm and so much energy. We’ve just had the best day.”
The Wells Fargo Ski Cup continues Sunday with the Kids Snowplow Sprint, and perhaps the weekends biggest event, the Sarah Holm Memorial World Disabled Invitational.
“Its just an opportunity to come out here and give back to the community,” said David Bruton Jr., former safety and special teams captain for the Super Bowl 50 Champion Denver Broncos. “You get to see all these great athletes, no matter what their disabilities or capabilities are, come out here and compete, win and have fun.”
