While the jury might be split as to the favorite bird species among you and other bird-watching hobbyists, there's a general consensus about some of the best birding binoculars out there that can make engaging in your hobby more enjoyable. To evaluate which binoculars are right for you so you can get even more delight out of communing with nature among your feathered friends, some fundamental questions must be answered. These questions lay down the basic properties that birding binoculars need to possess to serve you best:
- In what conditions will you use the binoculars?
- Do you wear glasses?
- How much weight can you comfortably carry?
- What image quality are you looking for?
- How much are you willing to spend?
Some of these properties work against one another; the sharper the image, the heavier the binoculars become. Good birding lenses should be equipped to function well in light rain and humid conditions and prevent the entry of moisture, dust, or debris while you're outside. They should also be fog-proof. Replacing the inside air with nitrogen prevents fogging of the inner lenses, which can occur when you get rapid temperature changes.
|First Choice
|Carson 3D Series High Definition Binoculars with ED Glass, 10x42mm, Black
|Second Choice
|Zeiss Conquest HD Binoculars 10x42
|Third Choice
|Nikon 7549 MONARCH 7 10x42 Binocular (Black)
|Fourth Choice
|Nikon 7567 10x42 EDG Binocular (Black)
Users who wear glasses often complain about problems seeing through their binoculars because they can't get their eyes close enough to the eyecups. Most binoculars maintain a certain distance between the lenses and your eyes, which is known as eye relief. People with glasses can't move their eyes as close to the lenses, and this can distort your vision through the binoculars. For bird watching, the ideal binoculars should have eye relief higher than 15mm so you can adjust the lenses whether you're wearing glasses or contacts. Good binoculars shouldn't weigh much, either.
For binoculars to work well during bird watching, they should have a relatively high-definition view. You're trying to get close to the bird to distinguish as much detail as possible, so you need good magnification. In addition, to spot birds effectively, a wide field of view is necessary. Say that you see a bird high up in a tree and quickly bring your binoculars up to your eyes. If you have a bigger field of view, you have a better chance that your aim will be correct and that you'll be able to find the bird right away without having to search around for it. For bird watching, binoculars should also be easy to focus. Maneuvering the focus wheel should be as simple and fast as possible so you don't lose sight of a speedy bird.
Nikon 10x42 EDG Binoculars
The Nikon EDG is one of the best binoculars that modern technology and engineering can offer; however, they cost $2500. Features include:
- Extra-low dispersion glass lenses with dielectric high-reflective multi-layer prism coatings for durability and clear, crisp imaging
- Dry-nitrogen filled for waterproofing and fog-proofing
- Magnesium-alloy body to increase durability and reduce weight
- Long eye relief at 18mm
- 25-year no-fault warranty
- Provide super-clear images even in very low light conditions
- Eye relief is easy to adjust
- Great for wearers with glasses
- Eye relief can sometimes stop working properly and adjusting evenly
- Expensive
Overall, these are some of the best birding binoculars that money can buy. Of course, coming up with that money might be the problem. These are certainly not budget-friendly, but if you plan on taking your bird watching to a much more serious level, these will definitely serve you well.
Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42
The Zeiss Conquest HD is available for about $800. Features include
- Compact, lightweight, and ergonomic design
- Rotating, lockable eyecups
- 75-pound weight
- LotuTec water-shedding outer coatings for all-weather use
- Fully armored and waterproof
- Amazing image clarity up to a mile away
- Build feels very solid
- Outstanding depth of field
- Work well for people who wear glasses (and those who don't)
- The lenses can easily be scratched, even with small movements
- Still relatively expensive
Most customers were extremely satisfied with this purchase and were most impressed by the overall image clarity. You need to be a little careful with them, despite their great durability, because the lens caps can have issues that cause scratches and other problems. For the most part, these function every bit as well as the more expensive Nikon EDGs, making them much better value for the money.
Nikon Monarch 7 10x42
The Nikon Monarch 7 is in a more feasible price range at about $500. Features include:
- Exceptionally wide field of view that makes it easy to find your subject
- Dielectric High-Reflective prism coating is applied to the lenses to provide high-contrast images and accurate color reproduction
- Durable rubber-armored coating
- 3-pound weight
- Compact at 5.7 x 5.1 inches
- Perfectly portable size for birding
- Very ergonomic and light
- Great clarity for spotting birds in motion
- The eyecups are aren't very soft and they don't work well for people who wear glasses
These Monarch 7s are a great, lower-cost pair of birding binoculars that can rival much more expensive pairs in higher-end price brackets. The optics are definitely excellent. Where the problems arise is with the level of protection these have. You need to be a bit more careful in handling them because the lens caps have a tendency to dislodge, and scratches can accumulate even when you don't think you're being rough with these at all.
Carson 3D Series High Definition 10x42
Carson's 3D series 10×42 version binoculars cost about $265. Features include:
- ED glass for sharp, bright images
- Rubberized armor coating
- Waterproof and fog-proof
- 314-foot field of view and 16mm eye relief
- Comes with BinoArmor deluxe carrying case, neck strap, shoulder harness and lens-cleaning cloth
- Available in black or camouflage coloring
- Excellent low-light capabilities
- Comfortable eyecups
- Very sensitive focus wheel is easy to adjust
- Great for beginners
- Doesn't come with lens caps for protection
- Eyecups don't adjust
For the price, it might be hard to find a more satisfactory pair of birding binoculars. These work well in just about any conditions, whether you're looking for birds in misty dusk or full sunlight on a hot day, thanks to the great light dispersion from the glass coating and nitrogen purging. These are also great in terms of convenience with the extra accessories that come along with them; while you might not need the shoulder harness because these are so light at 1.4 pounds, it's nice to know you have the option available.
We have provided a short video below that features the Carson 3D Binoculars. It will further add some information about the whole concept and features of the product.
There are various sizes available of this amazing birding binoculars. You can choose the range and size that fits your desired preference.
At the end of the day, what makes the best binoculars your ideal pair depends on your needs. With that said, however, if you have the budget, the Nikon Monarch 7s provide close to the top functioning that today's technology can offer. These are pretty expensive, however, so they probably won't suit the budgets of many beginners. Save up for these until you become a serious birder and turn your focus to the Carson model. They represent great value for the money, and while they're not the be-all, end-all model for pro-level bird watchers, they're nicely suited for beginners and intermediate-level users. In last place are the Zeiss Conquest binoculars simply because of the price. If you want to invest in a great set that will last years, these won't disappoint you. They're just not affordable for the majority of the population, however.

A group of German researchers have shown off the technology that may well allow the consumers of the future to shroud themselves in clothes that will render them invisible.
So far invisibility-inducing products have been the stuff of science fiction and fantasy, but its seems that we are now at the very early stages of a process for making objects invisible.
When you look at the detailed statistics relating to the recent test, you might be a little disappointed. The object that was made invisible was a microscopic raised area on the surface of a gold bar, measuring a few thousandths of an inch across.
Every technological advance has to start somewhere and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has been instrumental in creating this invisibility technique, rendering the microscopic bump completely invisible from all angles.
According to the researchers, the invisibility was achieved by creating a pile of light-bending crystals on top of the raised gold area. This tiny scale experiment could not be replicated on larger objects as the crystal technology would not work.
Although the recent revelations are unlikely to result in Harry Potter style invisibility cloaks within the next few years, it does show that in practice it is possible to hide something from the eye. There are many other groups working on invisibility technology and it has rather obvious applications in military operations.
Anyone ever caught by a speed camera will no doubt continue to dream of a consumer product that enables invisibility.

If the idea of your commute to the office being no more then getting out of bed and walking to your desk, then you are going to want to learn how to find legitimate work from home jobs. Every day thousands of people earn their living from the comfort of their own house. With technology making it possible for us to connect to everyone and everything these days, there has really been an explosion of professions that you can do that will not have you commuting into the office.
For many people that want to make this change, the tricky part is usually finding positions to apply for. There are so many opportunities out there. However, most people do not know where to go to get their search started. This is going to be the answer to all of their prayers.
Current Employer
Did you know that more and more businesses are adding legitimate work from home jobs to their roster? It is true. Perhaps your current employer already employs people in this capacity. You might even be able to show them how your current position could easily be done outside of the office. The nice part about going this route is that you keep any seniority that you have and all of the benefits of the company as well.
There are many online forum where people who are working from home hang out and chat. Think of it as the water cooler for the telecommuting crowd. Besides gossiping about last night's episode of X Factor, there is a great wealth of information to be had here. Many fellow workers will be more then happy to pass on leads about companies that are hiring. You can also ask if anyone has worked for someone before you apply. Joining one or two is a must if you want to get serious about earning a living from your house.
Craig's List
Many business owners will place ads on places like Craig's List looking for workers. This is especially true for freelance writing and being a virtual assistant. These are two very common legitimate work from home jobs. You just want to make sure that you do a bit of research when you apply to positions through this route. This is where belonging to a forum can come in very handy.
Elance and Odesk
There are sites that allow you to bid on open projects to get private clients to work for. This is a very popular way for many to get their foot in the door. Many times the connections that you make on these sites can lead to longer term employment. Just be ready to see people who live in countries that have a lower living expense bid prices that you would not even think about working for. It is important to show why you are worth the money that you want and not to just offer anything to get a paying gig.
It does not take a private detective to find legitimate work from home jobs to apply to. What it does take is some work and knowledge of where to go to get the information that you need. Remember when you are looking for employment that you need to treat it like a paying job. You need to put the time in and do the work to get to the end results. So what are you waiting for? Start exploring the opportunities that are out there for you in the world of working from home.

7 Facebook Personalities To Avoid
Here are seven all-too-common Facebook personalities you should avoid.
Here are seven all-too-common Facebook personalities you should seek to avoid. At the very least, hide their posts from your news feed.
The Friend Who Is Full of Himself
"Modeling gig was incredible! Off to da beach house with ma homies!"
For some people, Facebook is a way to show the world just how hot they really are.
These types of people spam Facebook with self-taken glamour shots of themselves so that everyone can see that they are, in fact, hot stuff.
The Friend Who Should At Least Try To Be Modest
"Porsche is in the shop…again! Thinking of upgrading this piece of junk."
That's great and all, but we could really care less. Francis Bacon, an English philosopher once said, "The less people speak of their greatness, the more we think of it."
The Friend Who Has 1,000 Friends Too Many
"Nate is now friends with Zackary Freeman and 34 other people"
Research has shown that the more wall posts and friends you have, the more narcissistic you appear, especially when the content you put up is of a self promoting nature.
Facebook not only feeds these people's vanity, but increases the chance of Facebook scams, which take advantage of people's inherent trust of the social network.
The Friend You Think Might Commit Suicide
"wondering about the day, it all went wrong…"
This person rarely updates their status, but, when he or she does, says something to that nature.
It's in our nature to want sympathy and compassion, but getting it from a few likes on your status isn't going to make you feel any better.
We all have our down days and the last thing people want to see in their own stressful lives is more stress, especially on a social platform they use to interact with their friends in a fun way.
The Friend Who Thinks His Life's Daily Trivialities Actually Mean Something
"Breakfast today was delicious, going to be an AMAZING day!"
Guess what? Nobody cares! This person deems it necessary to entertain us with mundane details of his or her life because he or she is oh-so-important.
The Friend Who Can't Get Over a Broken Heart
"Maybe, it was never meant to be…"
Every now and then you'll have someone who has just broken up and feels it's necessary to vent his or frustrations for the world to see.
That kind of talk belongs in confidential conversations with one's closest friends; friend lists on Facebook include a lot of casual acquaintances who really don't need to know about breakup details. Ranting about it on the social network looks pathetic.
The Friend Who Has No Life
"Catherine just found some White Mystery Eggs and wants to say thank you!"
Not only does spending time on random quizzes and Facebook apps look like you have way too much time on your hands, it annoys your friends whose news feeds are already cluttered.
Facebook statuses should offer some sort of value to people who read them by being insightful, interesting, or funny. Share personal details of your life only with friends who have strong personal connections to you.
A click of the mouse or typing of a few words may not seem much. But what you put on Facebook is remembered by your friends, family, and coworkers, affecting your relationships in real life.

So we have had Valentine's decor up for a while now...what do people usually do after the Christmas stuff comes down? It leaves a void, and I must fill it.
So I do. But not too much...because I also enjoy after Christmas clean house.
But hearts, and pink things, those don't create unnecessary clutter. And I do so love pink things.
Anyways, let's look at the Valentine's decor, shall we?
I made this heart last year. I'm all about recycling the decorations this year. So green of me.
Hearts everywhere.
And chocolate. What's a holiday without chocolate?
Same printable from last year...how very 2011 of me.
Even the throws have hearts...and they are pink!!
These blocks were at Target, and they switch around to make multiple words. And they stack to make a tower (for the three year old).
A little Winter quote. I will have to find something about love. Underneath is a hippo climbing at a park. Thank you little M.
Hearts, sticks, and a lovebird pillow. I think the sticks really scream Valentine's. Maybe I will paint them pink, or something.
I love love. yes, I do.

Highway Hi-Fi
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
This article possibly contains original research. (May 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
1722 Highway Hi-Fi
|Media type
|Read mechanism
|Developed by
|CBS Electronics
Highway Hi-Fi was a system of proprietary players and seven-inch phonograph records with standard LP center holes designed for use in automobiles. Designed and developed by Peter Goldmark,[1] who also developed the LP microgroove, the discs utilized 135 grams of vinyl each, enough to press a then-still-standard 10-inch LP (12-inch LPs of the period commonly used 160 grams of vinyl each and 45s used roughly 70 grams).
The system appeared in Chrysler automobiles from 1956[2] to 1959 (1956-1958 model years). Records for the system were manufactured exclusively by Columbia Special Products, and could hold roughly 45 minutes of music or an hour of speech per side. This was accomplished by the use of a slower rotation speed of 16⅔ rpm—versus 33 rpm for conventional long-playing records and 45 rpm for singles—in conjunction with an extremely tight groove pitch of 550 grooves per inch (216.5 grooves per centimeter, over four times that of a standard monaural LP of the period). The recording surface extended to an unusually small diameter of 2 1⁄4 inches (57 mm), which constrained the label to 1 1⁄2 inches (38 mm) for long-playing titles, but demonstration discs with brief contents not requiring an extended playing time were manufactured with standard 3 inch (76 mm) labels.[citation needed]
The players themselves were manufactured by CBS Electronics. According to the official Chrysler press release of September 12, 1955, "Highway Hi-Fi plays through the speaker of the car radio and uses the radio's amplifier system. The turntable for playing records, built for Chrysler by CBS-Columbia, is located in a shock-proof case mounted just below the center of the instrument panel. A tone arm, including sapphire stylus and ceramic pick up, plus storage space for six long-play records make up the unit." A button controlled whether you listened to the radio or the records.[3] A proprietary 0.25-mil (i.e., 0.00025 in or 6.4 μm or a quarter of a "thou") stylus was used with an unusually high stylus pressure of 2 grams-force (20 mN; 0.071 ozf) to prevent skipping or skating despite normal car vibrations.
Highway Hi-Fi units were factory-installed and were not available as aftermarket add-ons.[citation needed] With a tendency to break or malfunction,[citation needed] and a limited number of titles (which were available solely from one label's back catalog), the product was not a commercial success; Chrysler slowly began to pull support for Highway Hi-Fi as early as 1957 when high warranty service costs became evident.[citation needed] Another automobile record player was manufactured by RCA from 1960 to 1961. This later version dropped the "Highway Hi-Fi" label (not being Chrysler-exclusive) and played standard 45-rpm 7-inch (180 mm) records.[4] It, too, suffered a short lifespan: the players were even more prone to malfunction than those manufactured by CBS,[citation needed] and standard 7-inch records had their grooves worn down rapidly by the high stylus pressure used to prevent skipping.

We prove that the weak coupling 2D Hubbard model away from half filling is a Landau Fermi liquid up to exponentially small temperatures. In particular we show that the wave function renormalization is an order 1 constant and essentially temperature independent in the considered range of temperatures and that the interacting Fermi surface is a regular convex curve. This result is obtained by deriving a convergent expansion (which is not a power series) for the two point Schwinger function by Renormalization Group methods and proving at each order suitable power counting improvements due to the convexity of the interacting Fermi surface. Convergence follows from determinant bounds for the fermionic expectations

Donald Trump showed the "worst face of America" when he made derogatory comments about Mexican immigrants, Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas said Thursday.
"I know that most Americans don't think like that, and it's a disgrace that somebody could speak in those terms," the CEO of Grupo Salinas said in an interview with CNBC's "Closing Bell."
Salinas heads an empire of retail, banking, TV and telecom businesses located in Mexico.
He's the latest to speak out about the presidential hopeful's comments. Mexican Foreign Secretary Jose Antonio has called Trump ignorant and prejudiced.

Trump referred to Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists, and said the country is not a friend of the United States.
Last week, Univision announced it was canceling plans to air the Miss USA pageant next month and the Miss Universe contest in January. Trump co-owns both competitions.
"I agree fully with them and I think they are in the right," Salinas said.
NBC also said it will skip the pageants, which it co-owns with Trump.

Straight away the Puma evoTOUCH 1 caught my attention with it's calf skin leather upper mixed with a knitted sock. This is something that Nike has not even done. Puma introduced the evoTOUCH as a boot designed to help the creative midfielder to gain that extra bit of advantage with a soft leather upper and a well fitting and grippy shoe.
The Look
The evoTOUCH came to me in its Black/White/Safety Yellow colorway that actually looked very nice. The leather on the shoe is black with a white synthetic form stripe with some Safety Yellow accents around the boot including the bottom of the shoe that features a SpeedTrack spine running down the middle of the soleplate. Overall, the launch colorway and appearance of the boot looks great. I can't wait to see what Puma puts out in terms of colorways for this silo.
The Touch
The evoTOUCH 1 impressed me in terms of performance as well. It features a calf skin leather upper to provide stellar touch and comfort. I will get to the comfort, but the touch on the evoTOUCH is perfect for a player looking for the lockdown of a socked boot, while gaining all of the benefits of leather. The sock that features a part that goes up your Achilles, is made from evoKnit which is Puma's new knitted material. The material is soft and very stretchable while keeping its shape. I personally liked this sock material compared to the other brand's socks or collars. I am really looking forward to seeing if Puma brings the evoKnit to a full upper.
Back to the boot at hand, the evoTOUCH 1 had GripTex technology on the inside of the collar and on the insole to provide the ultimate grip to keep your foot from moving around. I was told that the evoTOUCH 1 does not feature the same GripTex as the evoTOUCH Pro, but I actually found the boot to still give me some incredible lock down.
During all of my testing, which includes drills, games, and just free kicks, I never felt any discomfort or slippage while playing. The upper is a little stiff out of the box, but with wear it loosens up and performs the part.
The soleplate is made from TPU plastic with all conical studs to give the player the ability to twist and turn on a dime with ease. I personally love soleplates that feature conical studs because it feels more natural and comfortable for me to play in. A SpeedTrack spine is found running down the middle of the soleplate to give the player more stability while playing rather than a flimsy plate underneath your feet. The big win for me here is the full leather upper with a knitted sock, bringing the old in with the new. If you are a defender or midfielder, I highly recommend picking these up for comfort and a nice leather touch.
The Feel
Comfort and touch are the name of the game for the evoTOUCH so you can probably guess that this shoe is comfortable for a wide variety of foot types. Little GripTex areas are spread across the inside of the sock and insole to give more stability and security while playing in the boot. The leather keeps your foot comfortable as well by allowing a little bit of stretch to accommodate all foot types. The evoTOUCH 1 is one of the most comfortable and well fitting boots I have worn in a long time. If you are looking for comfort and a leather upper for your next boot, this may be your choice.
Bang For Your Buck
The evoTOUCH 1 is a high end socked cleat with high quality leather, so you would expect the boot to retail for around $275 right? Well that is its older brother the evoTOUCH Pro. The evoTOUCH 1 retails on SoccerPro.com right now at $152.99. In my mind, that is a great deal on a cleat that performs like a high end boot.
Who's Wearing It?
Santi Cazorla and Cesc Fabregas are the headline athletes for the evoTOUCH line. Both are midfielders and are playing at top London clubs in the EPL. The evoTOUCH was designed for players such as them and any player that is looking for comfort and a nice leather boot with modern innovations.
The Verdict
The evoTOUCH 1 impressed me during the testing period. It held up through all of my tests and games, offered a great leather touch, and was extremely comfortable. The only complaint I had was that it was a little heavier than I would have preferred in a boot. Overall, a solid cleat that offers a lot of different types of players the comfort and touch they desire.
Sizing: True to size

It was after ages that Facebook released an update for the Facebook mobile application for the Android OS to make it less crappy. The latest release of the application boasted of tons of new features like Photo Reel, Support for events etcetera. You can read about the change-log here.
However, I will suggest our readers not to download this application. What's the reason you ask? According to Flipz the guy behind Fresh ROM's the updated version of the Facebook app has a wake lock bug. This bug uses/wastes the CPU and the RAM/ROM power even when the phone is in sleep mode. This has a huge impact on the phone's battery life and drains it in no time.
According to the Android Developer website :
Device battery life will be significantly affected by the use of this API. Do not acquire WakeLocks unless you really need them, use the minimum levels possible, and be sure to release it as soon as you can.
If you hold a partial wakelock, the CPU will continue to run, irrespective of any timers and even after the user presses the power button.
Flipz has discussed about this problem in-depth on his blog. Here is the link to it. Hopefully, Facebook will release an update to fix this WakeLock bug sooner than later.

I received an e-mail from Florida Power & Light Co., saying they will stop polluting the Earth so much if customers will just agree to pay $9.75 more per month on our bills.
FPL shouldn't be waiting around for the customers to pay for FPL's facilities. We will, no doubt, be paying top dollar for any bit of electricity generated, by whatever means.
It is FPL's business to put profits back into the corporation to build the most efficient and least polluting power plants. It is the consumers' business to buy that energy, after it has been generated.
Because FPL has a corner on the market, its managers believe they can get away with only being environmentally conscious if and when the consumers buy the equipment.
FPL needs to build plants to replace the old polluting plants that they have been profiting from for decades. It is time for FPL to step up.

Sleek, Stylish & Sculptural
When I'm not looking at Fashion, chances are I'm glancing at interiors or furniture. I love all design! I ogled a stool months ago on a design blog and have been obsessing over it, ever since. A lover of 20th Century Modern Design, I was immediately struck by the simplicity and beautiful lines of the Jo stool. Like many iconic chairs of the 20th Century, the Jo stool was designed not only for its good looks, but to be easy to manufacture. Designed by E & J Design studio in Berlin for Punt, furniture makers in Valencia, the stool has three j-shaped moulded plywood legs, creating a sculptural base, and the seat top completes the minimal stool. The Jo stool, available in 17 amazing lacquered colours, is available from Nest.co.uk for $391.14 USD. One of these beauties in bright yellow, orange or red, would look amazing anywhere in my house or office. The Jo stool offers a sculptural punch of colour, and an extra seat when needed.

Welcome to the Linux Foundation Forum!
Collectively buy games to open source?
The idea is to catalyze the number of games availible on the Linux platform. To do this I wonder if you cant just collectively fund some company or organisation by donations. They would then use the money to buy the right to open source whole or parts of once popular games for them to be adjusted to various Linux distributions.
itbcn8 Posts: 23Brilliant Idea!0
I hope someone investigates this possibility.0
HyperInferno Posts: 2What would be better is to find a way to make it self-funding.
My thought is this, I can't remember which group did it, but one band offered one of their albums to be downloaded for free off their website. But rather then simply make it free, they made it so you could buy it for whatever price you entered in, even 0. So while you could indeed get it for free, a vast majority of people still tossed in 10-15 bucks.
Similar thing, source code is freely available. Game can be freely distributed. But the binary download section, you put in a little section where there is a little radio button. one option, is just to freely download. The other option, is to download, and donate a little while you are at it.
End result, its free as in freedom, but you manage to keep the project financially afloat via guilt tripping.0
I really think it would be more beneficial to simply make more new native Linux games.0
I agree with Sims. It will be more difficult to opensource all popular games if the original game developer does not agree to allow their code to be open sourced. It would be better to just make games designed to run on linux and more stable.0
mfillpot Posts: 2,180Honestly, I do not expect all software that I use to be opensource. If the commercial game manufacturers would just release Linux based versions of their games I would highly consider purchasing them (as long as they are my kind of games) both to play the games and to support their efforts to support our community.0
That would be great too, nothing feels faster or smoother then a high graphics game running native on 64 bit Linux. Honestly that's probably the best option for game manufacturers. If I was selling games I don't think I would want to cut out 90% of desktop users by making it Linux only, but making sure to actively support a Linux version would be an awesome way to get a dedicated fan base in my opinion.0
Ubuntu is doing a great job with their software center of promoting independent Linux native games and applications.0
Yeah, if opensource can make games similar to the popular ones, that would be big. It may be tough to get game developers to opensource their games but there is no law for making replicants. At I think.0

Even as employers added just 88,000 jobs in March, employment in small businesses grew by 1.25 percent over February, an impressive jump over February's 0.2 percent increase. The source of the data, the CBIZ Small Business Index, found that job gains in March were less than half of the average number over the prior six months; a period were nearly 200,000 jobs were added to the economy each month. March job gains were down about 180,000 under February.
"This month's SBEI shows a 1.25 percent growth rate, which is extremely strong in terms of recent trends," said Philip Noftsinger, business unit president for CBIZ Payroll Services.
Over one-quarter of survey respondents reported making hires in March while 19 percent said they had reduced their staffing numbers. The majority of respondents (54 percent) reported a stable employment figures. Additionally, the survey found that small businesses are becoming ever more optimistic of the future economy, and higher seasonal employment numbers should be expected as summer approaches and consumer confidence remains high.
"For the time being, we can expect hiring trends to accelerate as the economic engine begins to outweigh drag forces such as government spending reductions and concerns over Europe's debt," Noftsinger says.

An Actual Example of a DIY Shade Sail
Once you understand the principles of installing a Shade sail everything just falls into place. Dig the holes, drop in the poles, measure for sail and when it arrives, use turnbuckles to tension it up.
Another Actual Example of a DIY Shade Sail
This job was undertaken by a local committee. No-one had ever before installed a shade sail. Once they read the book they knew what size poles to buy and how deep to dig the holes. They sent the meassurements in to us, we made the sail and it fitted perfectly.
We also have the DIY Shade - Shadesails Made Easy available on this page HERE for download as a .pdf File. Order it now and within minutes you can be reading the book and getting ready to start your project.
That's right. If you download a copy of DIY Shade, Shade sails made easy, or you order a hard copy in the mail, if after reading the book you go ahead and purchase a shade sail from us we'll refund the purchase price of this book.
One thing this book works hard to cover is helping you to avoid the biggest mistakes most people make when they plan to install thier own shade sail. Here are just two of the most common mistakes most people make.
Not Planning Where The Shade Will Fall.
Most people think that they should install the shade sail directly over their dining table or pool. That can be a big mistake. You see the sun is constantly moving across the sky and as such, so is the shade. One of the most valuable things you can do is to work out in advance when you will be using the shade sail most so that you can plan where you want the s hade to fall when you're wanting it most.
|Mid Morning Shade Position
|Mid Day Shade Position
|Mid Afternoon Shade Position
Installing Triangular Shade sails.
Shade sails are made with curved edges. This is necessary for tensioning however, this curvature is greatly accentuated when it comes to triangular shade sails. Triangular shade sails may look cool but they give very little shade and run to long narrow points. Why go to all the trouble of installing a shade sail only to end up with a result that essentially doesn't work.
The shade sails below are a good examples of how little shade triangular shade sails provide. If you look closely, you'll see the shade sail on the right was installed in order to cover the outdoor table. As you can clearly see, it does a pretty poor job of providing shade over the families table. If the installer had only installed a forth attachment point he would have ended up with a great result but instead, he was very disappointed with all the time and money he invested.
|Long & Narrow
|Large Gaps between Sails
|Little Coverage
When it comes to installing DO IT YOURSELF professional quality shade sails, it's the simple things that make all the difference.
The entire focus of this book has been to "keep it simple." No complex jargon, just simple to follow, easy to understand tips and information to help you with project.
Yes, we've touched on some more advanced designs such as Double Cross-overs, but these are't the focus of the book. The main focus of "DIY Shade – Shadesails Made Easy" is how to plan and install proven designs such as the industry standard "Hypar Design" Shadesails. Once you've got the knowledge and experience you can get as advanced as you like but if you've never installed a shadesail before then let this is handbook be your foundation.
Is this DIY Shade book for You?
If you answered Yes to any of these questions then the chances are, you could really benefit from ordering a copy of this book today.
In Summary, the information contained in DIY Shade Shadesails Made Easy is based on knowledge built up over decades and thousands of shadesail installations and just one tip alone such as how deep to dig the holes could save the heartache of having to re-do the entire job again after the first windstorm.
We've taken that charts and summarized them so it's easy for YOU as a Do-it-Yourself Shadesail Installer to read and apply them. They are right there in the book ready for you to use. Just those charts alone are worth their weight in gold if you're considering installing your own shadesail. They will ensure that the work you go to won't be wasted. That when you install your own shadesail you will be able to reference a chart that gives you the correct specifications for columns and footings.

Fabulous time had on French Exchange trip
Fifteen intrepid fourth year pupils spent an exciting week in Paris as they made the return trip to visit their French exchange partners at Collège Sévigné in the beautiful 5ème arrondissement.
The group spent the first day on a walking tour of the local area, seeing such sights as the Sorbonne, the Luxembourg Gardens and the Pantheon, at the end of which they were able to enjoy a refreshing diabolo in the sunshine outside Notre Dame.
An afternoon workshop at the Institut du Monde Arabe allowed the group to learn about Arabic culture and even have a go at making their own music.
The pupils were spoilt by their host families who took advantage of the warm and sunny weather, not to mention the three-day weekend, to show them the main sights of Paris, such as the Champs Élysées, the Eiffel Tower and that perennial favourite, Eurodisney!
The following week saw the travellers make the journey out to the stunning Palace of Versailles. Although hampered by torrential downpours they still appreciated the stunning architecture and history on offer.
The final two days saw the boys and girls experience life in a French school, which included everything from exuberant Sixth Form Leavers' celebrations to discussing the concept of happiness in a Philosophy lesson. Our pupils also got to sit in on a variety of lessons with their French partners, including History, English, Maths and French.
After lunch in the school canteen and an emotional farewell – complete with hugs, tears and cake – the group left their exchange partners to head to the airport. Thankfully the journey passed off smoothly and pupils made the most of their last moments in France by purchasing macarons, biscuits and patisseries to take home.
Despite some initial nerves before the trip started, pupils agreed that it had been a worthwhile and exciting experience.
Ethan Howgate said: "It was great to spend time in such a beautiful city" while Laura Murray remarked that she'd enjoyed getting to practise French with people of her own age. Charlie Escott said that "it was interesting getting an insight into what French pupils learn in school" and Nathaniel Huang also liked "seeing how French people actually live".

How is 2016 kicking off for you…? For me I am back on the island, nesting, resting, focusing and cocooning in winter wonderland after a month in Texas for the holidays and facilitating Painting from the Inner Fire, Create Your 2016 at Vuka in Austin, TX.
And I have a some BIG News to share…
I am pregnant! And expecting a baby girl in late March. Feeling radiant, healthy and blessed! Naturally, my focus the last 7 months has been on themes of mothering, birthing and birth along with enjoying the creative process that is such an incredible miracle happening in my belly–I am at awe and deep reverence with nature, the human body and the super intelligence of the creative life force that is materializing within and beyond me!
It is such a humbling process and after studying, facilitating and immerse myself in the creative process for the last 15 years – I can tell you honestly that this is blowing my heart, mind and body right out of the water! I am certain, my creative and spiritual journey up until this moment has prepared me for this calling into Motherhood and I am so grateful to have cultivated the inner tools, strength, self-knowledge and awareness will which to share as a Mom.
More than anything right now, I am so grateful to be having a healthy, spontaneous pregnancy in my 40's. You know how much I am passionate about shifting paradigms, for women, creatives, entrepreneurs, healers, change agents and now I will passionately include….MOTHERS! I am thrilled to be joining this tribe and excited to share so much knowledge and wisdom…. as well as learn so much too!
The biggest thing for in being a new mother in my 40's is that I will have the luxury of being a #fulltimeworkingstayathomemom. Let me explain…
- I spent my 20's working in the corporate world, dot.com etc. and gained a ton of marketing and entrepreneurial
experience, making lots of money in a 'coveted job' commuting to the Sillicon Valley and taking the corporate jet bi-monthly to Portland, finding my voice while learning a lot about what I didn't want to do and what DID NOT make me happy, although everyone, including society sold and told me it would.
- I spent my 30's answering my soul's calling, going back to school, cashing out my 401k, traveling through South East Asia, getting a MACP in Transpersonal Counseling, training in several creative and healing arts modalities and deciding I didn't want to be a therapist. So I trained as a coach. I also called off a wedding to a beautiful, financial secure man who adored me on the surface but ultimately didn't have my best interest at heart, leaving this relationship, moving to Austin to start my dream….Fire Tree Studios …a sacred space for authentic creative self-expression and self-realization.
- And now in my 40's I have been a entrepreneur for almost 9 years! And have figured out how to do what I love and turn it into a business. My values are very different. I don't seek external validation or security. I know who I am, that I am the only one responsible for my happiness and I know what I am on this planet to do (which is the key to long-term authentic happiness). I have experimented, trail-blazed, had successes and failures and allowed the creative process to lead me in business, alchemizing every lesson along the way. Fire Tree has been an organic process that has supported me to do incredible, potent, soul birthing work in the world for myself and my clients. I feel unbelievably blessed to have the privilege to do what I love, inspiring others in amazing places with courageously beautiful people and to create authentically everyday!
- I will be doing more collaborations, such as Eat, Paint, Love Your Body: Food and Art as Nourishment a Women's Retreat on at The Farm Institute on Martha's Vineyard for Mother's Day weekend with Chef and Food as Medicine Maven Jan Buhrman of The Kitchen Porch. Get in On the Early Bird Savings- register by February 15th!
- I will stick to working with a maximum of 5 private clients. Because I love to serve my clients in a deep multi-dimensional way, this is the number of 1:1 clients that I feel comfortable serving at a given time. This allows me to also focus on other ways of serving and creating, manage my time and offer the best coaching, training and mentoring to my private clients as possible. Curious about my coaching programs or want to reserve a private slot for the year? Click here.
- More online courses. Stay tuned for more online classes, courses and workshops and a revised Abundant Creative Course!

I had been to a lot of places that offer facials in the Detroit area and this one is different because you really get the results you are seeking. Uneven skin tone on my face always bothered me and I heard chemical peels would help and it was an easy and quick way to treat them. However, I did not feel that I was getting the results I wanted from various spas I went to. I heard and this place from a colleague whose skin is enviable – so I went. I had a medical chemical peel and once the peeling stopped the brown marks and acne scars on my face were virtually unnoticeable – my skin looked refreshed and I looked younger. I also had a skin rejuvenating IPL laser facial here and it made a dramatic and immediate difference in my skin. I wish I knew about this place years ago. My confidence has returned and now I don't need to spend so much time putting on make-up. I can say that for the first time in decades I am even skin confident without makeup.I highly recommend this place if you have skin issues – don't delay you can get your skin confidence back – they really are the real deal!YELP

HALO Laser
Until the development of the hybrid fractional laser (HFL), our patients had to choose between an ablative treatment with longer downtime and a non ablative treatment with no downtime but with far less effectiveness (requiring multiple treatments).
An ablative laser is considered the most effective treatment on the market to improve signs of aging by removing the outer layers of damaged skin, triggering the body's healing mechanism to increase collagen production and reveal healthier, tighter skin. The main disadvantage to a deep ablative laser treatment is a fairly long recovery period of up to two weeks.
A non-ablative laser heats the outer layers of the skin but does not remove them resulting in little or no downtime but requiring several treatments to achieve treatment goals.
By combining both lasers, HALO laser therapy provides a previously impossible ability to deliver separate fractional laser treatments to the epidermis and dermis at the same time. HALO offers results that are more similar to ablative laser treatments but with very little downtime for the best of both worlds.
HALO laser treatments treat:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Acne scars
- Large pores
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Brown spots
- Hypertrophic scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Melasma
This treatment is excellent for all skin types and skin colors, improving skin texture, skin tone, and radiance. Micropeel is a unique two phase treatment combining a glycolic peel solution followed by medical microdermabrasion. This treatment targets many skin conditions including acne, mild scarring, hyper-pigmentation, blackheads and sun damaged skin. It is an advanced technique that removes dead skin cells that builds up over time and makes the skin appear dull and lifeless.
Jessner Peel
The Jessner Chemical Peel is a superior treatment and a deeper peel designed to remove superficial layers of skin. Jessner Peels combines resorcinol, lactic acid and salicylic acid to result in deeper penetration and greater exfoliation of the outer layers of skin cells. The deeper exfoliation produces noticeable flaking and exfoliation in the three to four days following the peel. Within a week, a new layer of smoother, healthier skin will emerge.
A medical grade Jessner Peel is excellent for all skin types and particularly good for treating patients with acne, oily or thicker skin (because this peel tends to decrease oil production and open clogged sebaceous follicles). It also contributes to the rapid healing process of acne. It smooths and rejuvenates skin, producing beautiful results in treating mild to severe acne, discoloration, moderate wrinkling and sun damage.
TCA Peel
The TCA peel (Trichloroacetic Acid ) is a medium peel, and is a very popular treatment for skin of all colors and imperfections. TCA peels can vary in strength from 10% to 50% depending on the skin tone, imperfections, scars, and wrinkles that are in need of improvement. TCA Peels penetrate to the deeper layer of the skin (the dermis) which results in reorganization of the skin and increased cell growth leading to healthier skin layers and stimulating skin to produce more collagen. This peel results in a dramatic rejuvenated appearance. TCA Peels are best in class for removing scars, blemishes and pigmentation and hyper-pigmentation. TCA Peels are also quite effective in reducing lines and wrinkles.
Medical Pigment Balancing Treatments
This is a customizable skin brightening treatment designed to accelerate cell renewal, diminish hyper-pigmentation and uneven skin tone. This treatment is designed to aggressively exfoliate photo-damaged and hyper-pigmented skin. Our pigment balancing treatments combine brightening and anti-inflammatory agents oftentimes with a peeling acid solution to accelerate cell renewal and diminish uneven skin tone.
Medical Microdermabrasion will give your skin a new lease on life, revealing a fresher, younger looking you. The treatment works for all kinds of skin types and can be used to effectively improve the appearance of brown spots, shallow acne scars, sun-damaged skin, dull or ageing skin, acne-prone or blotchy skin and fine lines.
Microdermabrasion is a very simple yet amazingly effective non invasive treatment which will leave you with a radiant complexion. Medical Microdermabrasion differs from that found in most salons as it is significantly stronger and the results are much better.
You can enjoy this quick fix treatment leaving your skin silky smooth, many notice a change in the appearance immediately after, however the long-term benefits of multiple procedures can be remarkable.

Salicylic acid–based peels are used to improve patient outcomes for a range of skin conditions, including acne scarring, photodamage, and melasma. This treatment is designed to improves texture and tone, brightening and tightening of the skin.
Vbeam Laser Facial
The Vbeam laser produces an intense but gentle burst of light that destroys vascular and pigmented lesions without damaging surrounding tissue. This treatment is effective in reducing rosacea symptoms. The VBeam laser is used to treat the skin lesions made up of small superficial blood vessels in the skin. The laser produces a yellow light which is absorbed by the color red. The light is pulsed- in cycles of "on" for a very short time, then "off". This results in selective destruction of blood vessels while not affecting the surrounding tissues.
Vbeam Laser can be used to treat a variety of conditions including:
- Redness of the face and neck.
- Rosacea.
- Broken capillaries.
- Spider naevi, angiomas and haemangiomas, venous lakes.
- Port wine stains and some other birthmarks.
- Sun/age spots and freckles.
- Early scars and red stretchmarks.
Cool Touch Laser
This treatment stimulates collagen without causing surface damage and is a safe procedure that can be performed in a series of treatments for fine lines, skin tightening, texture, acne and acne scarring. This is the "gold standard" of laser skin care for anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, acne and acne scarring without injury to the skin's surface.
The CoolTouch skin treatment is a revolutionary way to combat the signs of aging. This non-invasive procedure stimulates smoother, healthier looking skin, by using an infrared laser together with a cooling process to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. There are no harsh chemicals. No long recovery times, just younger looking skin.
KTP Laser
The KTP laser is a treatment for facial vascular lesions or facial telangiectasia. KTP lasers mainly target the pigment (haemoglobin) of the red cells in the superficial blood vessels of the skin. KTP lasers are also effective in treating vascular skin lesions namely birthmarks such as haemangiomas, strawberry naevus and port-wine stains but mainly in lighter types of skin such as white-Caucasian.

IPL skin rejuvenation is a common cosmetic procedure designed to produce a clear, healthy and beautiful complexion. There are a variety of specific skin issues that can be solved using IPL, from certain types of conditions, to blemishes, wrinkles, the effects of ageing, and more.

Higher than expected levels of air pollution near Ellesmere Port have led to a joint investigation being carried out by four organisations.
Sharp increases in sulphur dioxide have been recorded in Thornton-le-Moors from the neighbouring Essar plant during certain climatic conditions.
Cheshire West and Chester's environmental protection and public health teams, the Environment Agency, Public Health England and Essar have joined forces to monitor emissions of sulphur dioxide in the Thornton-le-Moors area.
Sulphur dioxide is a major air pollutant with the potential to have a significant impact on people's health, particularly those with heart or lung problems such as asthma.
News of the joint investigation was given to Tuesday night's meeting of the Ellesmere Port Air Quality Forum by CWAC's environmental health protection practitioner, Ian Nadin.
Mr Nadin said a monitoring station, established last June, in response to concerns expressed by local residents, had shown that during particular climatic conditions sharp increases in sulphur dioxide are recorded, typically for periods between 15 minutes and two hours.
A year's monitoring had concluded that the 15-minute standard was likely to be exceeded and would require a detailed assessment involving modelling and further monitoring.
However the data also revealed that the one-hour and 24-hour standards for sulphur dioxide were not being exceeded.
This demonstrates that, although the levels are at times much higher than expected, they are limited and short lived.
A spokesperson for the Environment Agency – responsible for monitoring major installations said: "We are treating this matter seriously and are reviewing the initial findings of the ongoing study.
"We understand that there have been a number of occasions where emissions have been at moderate and higher levels.
"We are working with Essar, Cheshire West and Chester Council and Public Health England to identify the measures the company needs to take to resolve the situation."
Head of communications and community at Essar Oil UK Limited, Ian Cotton, said: "We work closely with the EA and have an agreed plan for the reduction f sulphur dioxide over time.
"As part of this plan we have invested £20m in a project to convert our site power station to using natural gas, which has significantly reduced our emissions since November 2012.
"Compared to 2011 when the Stanlow site was acquired by Essar, the plan accepted by the EA has already delivered a 43% reduction in our sulphur dioxide emissions with further reductions committed to be delivered by 2017.
"We have made clear already and remain committed to working closely with both the council and the Environment Agency to properly understand the results of this monitoring and agree with both agencies the right course of action going forward."
For most of the population in a good state of health even moderate air pollution levels are unlikely to have any serious short term effects.
However, adults and children with heart or lung problems such as asthma are at greater risk of symptoms.
Dr Alex Stewart of Public Health England said: "Sulphur dioxide may irritate the nose, throat and airways and can cause coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or a tight feeling around the chest.
"The effects of sulphur dioxide are felt very quickly and people at risk of developing symptoms would feel the worst effects in 10 or 15 minutes after breathing it in.
"The effects do not last once the pollution event has moved away in the wind.
"Follow your doctor's usual advice about exercising and managing your condition."

It has a couple of two up settings. Would like to know the rider weight that this is based on.
Looks good except does it take into consideration your weight? or for two up your passenger weight?
I could be wrong (I thought I was once) but since it says 'Standard 150lbs' twice in the chart and in the owner's manual they base the settings on a 150lb rider. I'd say it's based on a 150lb rider.
I'm at 250 lbs. solo, any suggestions? (other than loose 60 lbs.)
150 lb rider........I wish!

If you've had it with the hassle of shaving and the mess of waxing, laser hair removal can give you silky, smooth skin in a few short treatments. Karol Gutowski, MD, FACS, and the expert team of aesthetics professionals at Lincoln Park Aesthetics in Chicago provide laser hair reduction with beautiful, long-lasting results. To learn more, call the office, or schedule an appointment online today.
Laser hair removal uses a focused beam of light to target your hair follicles, destroying hair as it forms before it has grown out from your skin. The laser beam is precise, so only the cells that produce hair are damaged, and the rest of your skin is not affected, leaving your skin supple, soft, and free of unwanted hair.
Most patients don't find laser hair reduction to be painful, but if you have very sensitive skin, it may be a little uncomfortable. The sensation is often compared to a rubber band snapping against your skin.
The skilled aesthetics professionals at Lincoln Park Aesthetics can perform laser hair reduction on almost any area. Common areas targeted include:
Laser hair removal is a good option for sensitive areas, such as the Brazilian bikini line, or around the breasts.
Because your hair grows in stages, and not all of your hair is at the same stage at any given time, you'll need a series of treatments for lasting hair reduction. How many treatments required varies, but usually at least 3-6 treatments are required for optimal results.
Laser hair removal is approved by the FDA and is considered to be quite safe. You may experience some mild side effects, such as redness or irritation, after your procedure, but these usually subside within 24 hours.
Your skin can be extra sensitive after laser hair removal, so you should avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week after your treatment.
A series of laser hair treatments usually results in a significant decrease in new hair regrowth. Laser hair removal can eliminate the mess and expense of shaving and give you soft, touchable skin that is free from unwanted hair.
If you are interested in laser hair removal, call the office today, or schedule an appointment online.

http://mmajunkie.com A 135-pound women's title fight between welterweight champion Marloes Coenen (18-4 MMA, 2-1 SF) and top contender Miesha Tate (11-2 MMA, 4-1 SF) is set for March's "Strikeforce: Columbus" event.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) mentioned the likelihood of the fight on Sunday, and Tate recently posted a Twitter message confirming the booking.
The March 5 event takes place at Nationwide Arena as part of Strikeforce's Ohio debut. The night's main card, including a headliner between light-heavyweight champion Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante and Dan Henderson, airs on Showtime.
Coenen vs. Tate is expected to serve as the night's co-headliner.
Coenen is coming off two title fights under the Strikeforce banner. Although she suffered a TKO loss to women's middleweight champ Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos in January 2010, Coenen returned in October, dropped a weight class, and delivered then-women's welterweight champ Sarah Kaufman her first career loss. The third-round submission victory earned the Dutch fighter the belt and her sixth win in her past eight fights.
Tate, meanwhile, earned her title shot by winning Strikeforce's single-night four-woman tournament in August. After a decision victory over Maiju Kujala in the opening round, she bested Hitomi Akano on points in the finale. She's now 10-1 over her past 11 fights, and the lone loss came to Kaufman at Strikeforce Challengers 1 in 2009.
For the latest on "Strikeforce: Columbus," stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

Scotland's sole Member of the European Parliament's Energy Committee Alyn Smith has today (Tuesday) warmly welcomed the production of a joint industry/trade union position paper outlining concerns over a proposed EU Regulation over offshore safety.
Alyn said:
"This is a hugely significant, and helpful intervention from the workers and industry, and will be hugely helpful to me in Brussels in my work on these proposals. This mirrors the approach taken by the sector in other countries and I am delighted that the Team Scotland approach is seeing such joined up working.
"The tone is significant too. The paper is clearly in favour of any good ideas on safety - and post the Elgin incident none of us are complacent - but identifies a practical and evidenced based litany of real concerns that the proposed Regulation simply will not achieve the aims it has been set, and could well make things worse if implemented as drafted. This is not a 'we just don't like regulation' whine, this is a constructive addition to the debate on this matter.
"The North Sea basin has the highest standards in the world, those standards have been hard won and are close to the heart of anyone involved in the industry. From my meetings with the European Commission I know there is every willingness to work with our industry and worker experts to make this better. An EU standard based on North Sea practice which causes us no difficulties in implementation could indeed be a gold standard for the world, opening up additional markets for our industry, but in the present form it is simply not fit for purpose."
