20+ Examples of Perfect Landing Page Design
A landing page is quite important for the promotion of your business or product and services through your website. It is a crucial element for several online business marketers and there are numerous landing page examples provided online. Most of the companies usually focus much on the home page of their website and the effectiveness is a very important quality in it. But how do you create an effective landing page? There are many success factors associated with it and there are also certain tips and guidelines that need to be followed before creating the best landing page inspiration examples.
The most important aspect you need to consider while creating the landing page is that it should not have any information that deviates the customers to other websites. It should be leak-proof and should have the effectiveness to sell your products or services. The landing page you portray on your site must have crisp and clear information, so that the customer understands your products easily. Make the purchase easy for the buyers with just one or two clicks and do not have too many links which may frustrate the customers. Make sure you are aware of the cost of selling your products and determine the profit accordingly.
The best landing page examples could be an important factor for the success of any online business. Because of the quality of the product also, there are cases where the businesses fail. Also with the same type of business, there are people who achieve success because of an effective landing page in their website. A customer hardly takes just few seconds to view any website they come across in between, thus at that point of time, the landing page inspiration is quite essential. Make sure the content on the page is short and understandable.
Also, check if the words or sentences mentioned on the landing page is relevant to your product or service that you sell. Focus much on the information to be given to the customers. Make your text bold and in bullet points so that it would attract the attention of the viewers within seconds. A landing page need not necessarily be a home page but make sure the main objective of your selling is clearly engraved.

Battle of Bunker Hill
100% synch Optional Objectives
- Air assassinate Pitcairn without being detected
- Cross the battlefield without taking damage
- Limit regular kills - 0/4
Follow the Patriot soldier towards the top of the hill and then listen to Putnam spew his general talk. After he's done, approach him to start the mission.
Here's the fun part!
CROSS THE BATTLEFIELD WITHOUT TAKING DAMAGE: Crossing from safe zone to safe zone is a REAL pain in the arse! The best way to achieve zero damage is to AVOID listening to the soldiers that scream out their actions ("They're firing!" or "Incoming!"). Instead, stay in cover and look at the field of Redcoats across the hill. When they all fire their muskets, you will see a lot of sparks of their gunfire. This is the time you should run for nearest cover position.
Keep running and avoiding the volleyfire until Connor is within the safe zone. Optional Objective Complete!
Once you get to the left side of the battlefield, climb up the rocks and navigate the tree branches towards the top of the hill to trigger the next objectives (see screencaps above).
LIMIT REGULAR KILLS: Once you're at the top of the hill, navigate around it by using the bushes to stay hidden. Navigate the bushes all the way to the left side of the hill (avoid going thru the camp). There is a captain at the other end of the hill near the tents, so use a Corner Kill on him to clear the area of threats (see screencap above). This should be the only enemy to kill!
AIR ASSASSINATE PITCAIRN WITHOUT BEING DETECTED: With the area cleared, approach the large tree up ahead and run on the branch. Jump onto the next tree on the right and then jump towards the flagpole. Target Pitcairn below and use an Air Assassination to complete the mission.

Hi all, been trying to fit an external regulator to my mk2 vermyvregulator.
Tried to get some help from Altaros and their external reg, waist of time.
So I thought have a go myself, so I started searching the net for externalvregs and came across regs for paint ball guns. Most are low pressure, but found some from China that are high pressure and cheap. So at the price thought it was worth a try.
Below are pics of what I have done so far, hoping to drain the bottle and fit it and refill.
Cheers Nik,

Gearhart Mountain Climber's Log
ericnoel - Jun 30, 2020 7:05 am Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2020Gearhart
Standard Route. Warm. Pinnacles were interesting geology.
SkiValdez - Aug 24, 2019 7:23 am Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2019Gearhart Summit - August 2019
Pretty much went as expected, it was more to see how things are progressing since the beetle kill in the area, and things are rebounding nicely. The run to the gap is pretty much untouched, great wilderness forest, interesting rock formations, and wildlife abound. From the gap up is where you notice the swath of dead forest, but new trees are now 10-15ft and filling in nicely. Still a great run/climb regardless and worth the trip. You can see my video of my experience here: https://youtu.be/22CAYLhxEnk
chris.kienle - Jul 7, 2014 11:31 pm Date Climbed: Jul 6, 2014hot and dry
Drove from Klamath in the early morning to escape the mid-90s heat wave. We, me and the two dogs, set out on trail mid morning. Loved the Palisades! Continued up the trail to the saddle and then on to gain the ridge where the fabulous rock cliffs and formations were enjoyed. It was very hot and dry along the ridge. The mountain was not as cool as I had hoped and thought 1.5 gallons of water would be enough for three mouths. Boy was I wrong. Climbed to the summit and quickly retreated to the prominent rock pinnacle where we dropped off the ridge to the base of the cliffs where I had spotted some residual snow, on the way up, for the dogs to rehydrate from the fast moving runoff stream. Looked for the trail that runs the base of the cliffs but failed to find it despite the GPS and maps telling me I was in the right spot... Anyway, hiked the contour back to the saddle and back to the car. Took about seven and a half hours from car to car on account of the heat and dog high jinks.
My advise: bring plenty of water and water treatment. I had to get water for the way back from a small creek, that's why I always carry iodine!
Nick Turtura - Aug 4, 2013 4:54 pm Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2013Jewel of the South
One of the most unique mountains I've climbed. Beautiful rock formations EVERYWHERE. After the saddle we dropped down into the valley and walk along the trail ogling at the cliffs above. We gained the summit from the north col after a short class 4 scramble and headed back via the high ridge. Great loop. Round trip from the car was 4 hours, but that was a bit fast. I suggest giving yourself plenty of time to relax and explore the rocks.
Redwic - Jul 24, 2012 6:32 pm Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2012A Long Ridge Walk
Walking along the south ridgeline to the summit seemed to take a long time, but probably mostly because I was solo and there for the first time. The trip back was much faster. The key thing to do on the south ridge is to basically stay on the plateau sections more often than not; do not bother with touching all of the false summits and hilltops as I had done. The only time one needs to get close to the eastern cliffy slopes is when scrambling down and around a prominent rock pinnacle.
This was the third of seven Top 100 peaks summited in Oregon during a 3-1/2 day timeframe.
Great peak with awesome views and a nice way to experience much of the wilderness area. The summit had no register, but did have several USGS Benchmark disks.
calebEOC - Jul 10, 2012 10:57 pm Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2012Gearhart Trail
Beautiful hike right up to the saddle where the forest becomes a wasteland of dead snags. Gearhart meadows is largely a skeleton forest also. Anyone interested in doing this mountain might want to tackle it before the snags start falling down or a fire ravages the wilderness.
Troy and I also bagged Deadhorse across the valley later this same day. Its in even worse condition than Gearhart with regards to beetle kill.
Troy B - Jul 10, 2012 12:11 am Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2012Gearhart Mtn Trail
Hiked up the Gearhart Mtn trail from the east past the Palisades to the saddle. From the saddle we hike up along the ridge top to the summit. The recent mountain pine beetle outbreak in the area has killed most of the Lodgepole Pine stand surrounding the peak.
Swithich - Jun 19, 2010 9:56 pm Date Climbed: Jun 14, 2010Summit 1 of 9
Lots of snow. Came up from Deming Creek (from West). Good route for this time of year. Hard mountain to start the trip on in June, but well worth the view.
Great peak. Stay away from those snow cornices in June...bad joo joo for those too curious on a warm June day.
Paul McClellan - Nov 23, 2008 12:35 pm Date Climbed: Sep 1, 2007Bear sighting
Hiked the Gearhart Mountain Trail from the east, then scrambled onto the plateau to the summit. Partially descended from a notch to the north, and will likely take that route next time. Saw a bear apparently digging for grubs under a downed tree above the trail on the hike out.
apachedino - Oct 24, 2008 3:55 pm Date Climbed: Oct 19, 2008Domed
On a long drive from SLC UT to Warm Springs OR, I decided this climb would make a nice break. Afer camping a very cold night under the stars at Corral Creek I set off and found the cliffs around the "DOME" to be very spectacular, also liked this type of forest, very open and old.
Dean - Aug 13, 2008 11:21 am Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2008Hot and dusty
Hiking this one in August isn't all that smart. Met two women near saddle who threw in the towel due to the heat. I pushed on and went up route as described in "75 Scrambles" book. After reading the entries here, i probably would have been better off to the way Cornvallis did since my route was probably harder and longer than it needed to be. Anyway, I had the company of zillions of butterflies that were loving the area and tried to share my summit apple with me. Yup, apple loving butterflies can be a menace. Take plenty of water if you do this in August.
Bob Bolton - Oct 10, 2006 4:42 am Date Climbed: Oct 8, 2006South Ridge
Did this one on a perfect day - cool, brilliant sunshine, minimal breeze. Had the entire mountain to myself even though it was a weekend day.
cjwhat - Sep 6, 2005 4:11 pmRoute Climbed: north notch Date Climbed: September 4, 2005
Followed trail to notch north of summit. Followed low ridge to base of rim, then traversed right, dropped below big buttress on west side, and ascended gulley next to (south) of buttress. Note I tested several gullies before decided on this one and it probably the best option. Cloudy, cool, windy day and didn't see a soul the whole time.
Dennis Poulin - Aug 30, 2004 1:22 pmRoute Climbed: Standard Route from South Date Climbed: 29 August 2004
Absolutely beautiful weather. Great Trail. The views were inspiring.
annaleiserabinek - Oct 28, 2003 6:26 pmRoute Climbed: South Ridge Date Climbed: october 25, 2003
If everyone climbs the south ridge, you think it ought to be on the list of routes to choose from. Just a thought for you point junkies out there. :-)
Anyway, back to business....
I love October. Its beautiful in the valley and beautiful down in the basin/range. You can't go wrong. Pretty neat hike. The Palisades were very cool. The summit area was even better. I think it must have been 75 up there. We spent almost an hour taking pictures, eating lunch, just hanging out, enjoying our last really good weather (probably) of this unnaturally long season. The veiws were great, we could see from Shasta to the Sisters and equally as far east and west. A sea of mountains with islands of agriculture as far as the eye could see.
Tom you rock!
Cornvallis - Oct 28, 2003 12:37 amRoute Climbed: South Ridge Date Climbed: October 25, 2003
Wasn't able to leave Corvallis until after 9PM Friday night, so we didn't arrive at the TH until after 3AM. Anna and I assumed our sleeping positions in the car and caught some much needed rest. Really starting to get used to the sleeping in the car thing, thanks for the inspiration Dean. The Palisades are amazing, I could have spent an entire day here playing. Massive Ponderosas along the fist third of the trail are beautiful. Reached the first saddle and decided for some reason that the second saddle looked better, so we dropped down a bit and headed up towards it. Turned out to be a good choice as it was an easy climb up to the ridge that leads to the summit. The last half mile, and summit area, made this whole trip, the cliffs and rock formations near and around the summit are awesome. Weather on top was perfect, sunny and warm, not bad for the end of October. Before we left we climbed up the old lookout near the parking lot. Terrified some curious cows near Bly while taking a picture of Gearhart. Nice day.
Brian Jenkins - Sep 3, 2003 11:50 amRoute Climbed: South Ridge Date Climbed: September 1, 2003
Didn't get started until noon. Palisades are really cool, would make a great bouldering area if ever developed. Really dramatic cliffs the rest of the way along two ridges about a half mile to a mile long each. This area could be a really great climbing area with long cracks on high cliffs. Made the saddle and headed up left. Weaved back and forth along the ridge making sure I was heading in the right direction. Got to some basalt columns and headed back to the ridge to my right. Then easy hike to summit. Lots of flying ants there, didn't stay long.
To make it interesting, I scrambled down a rocky gully on the north side and then bushwhacked back to the Notch where I picked up the trail back through the basin. Great meadows along the way. Scrambled to the top of some pinnacles on the way back to take pictures of the southeast ridge. Back to car by 7 pm. Then a long drive back to Portland, didn't get back until 1:30 am.

text: 7 Most Glamorous Designer Bridal Heels of 2016 September 29, 2016 Natasha Blog (0) Are you about to take that heart-pounding walk down the aisle? Are you ready to be watched intently by all your friends and family as you take your steps to join your one to say "I do"? Start with the right heels. Turn your big moment into a bridal catwalk down the runway like a diva. Here are some of the most glamorous designer bridal heels of 2016 that we hope will be inspirational for you! How much more dazzling could you get than wearing Cinderella shoes to your dream wedding? The "Cinderella Slipper" is a remake of the iconic glass slipper worn by Cinderella – you know, the girl who lives out her epic rags to riches tale and weds her Prince Charming, living happily ever after. How fitting! And get this, the shoe has 7,000 Swarovski crystals of various sizes, and 46 embroidered stones. Nobody can deny such glitz and romance! Cinderella would definitely approve! Sparkle like a diamond, and flash that envy-inspiring red sole! This Christian Louboutin open-toe pump is not called "Very Rich" for nothing. Covered top to bottom with hand-placed crystals, it almost blinds us with shimmer and glitter. Yet, these super high stiletto can feel intimidating, especially with the possibility of tripping and tumbling down the aisle (#bridefail) -- yikes ! But don't worry; the positive feedback from those lucky enough to own a pair is quite reassuring. These heels are surprisingly comfy and steady! And that is one of many reasons why Louboutins have been the shoe of choice at all the ritzy Hollywood red carpet affairs. Flats for a wedding? Oh, yes, please! For that perfect glam-to-comfort ratio check out Manolo Blahnik's Sicaria Crystal-Embellished d'Orsay Flat. The heel is unmistakably Blahnik (Carrie Bradshaw would instantly fall in love!), and the large crystals all over the ankle strap take this flat into the glamo-sphere of Sex in the City and maybe even the Kardashianland. Sculptural heels were a runway hit this year. And Tory Burch's "Firenza" sandal is a perfect marriage of this fashion trend and glitz galore. With shiny gold leather all over a sleek sandal top, the Firenza mesmerizes with an ornate, eye-popping heel. The design evokes a bit of the Arabian nights with a romantic Renaissance Italy vibe. These globetrotting knockouts will have you strutting down the aisle like a true fashionista! Few designers bring to mind old Hollywood and new Hollywood glam like Oscar de la Renta – the master of romance and sophistication with a twist of trendy. Their peep-toe sandal is a prime example. The intricate Ambria beaded-embroidered appliqués say "something old", but the metallic heel, the peep toe, and the back zip say "something new." All that's left is to snag something borrowed and you're all set! Say, "mine, mine" to this Miu Miu Studded Block Heel Platform Sandal! Block heels were all the rage this year, adored for their flirtatiously chunky look. This sleek and curvy sandal with a tower-like, crystal-encrusted heel is a total showstopper. We get the latest style and comfort at that most important moment in our lives – what else can we ask for? The "mule" shoe design and the sexy ankle ties are definitely a 2016 look. Here, the two looks are combined in one uber luxurious bridal version envisioned by Gianvito Rossi. The many crystal embellishments sprinkled in an abstract design on the etoile mesh and the stiletto heel (also very crystally and sparkly) are absolutely spell-binding. Love! Now the only problem is, which is the one for you? It's times like this, we wish we were centipedes -- those lucky creatures have 100 legs! But frankly, any of these works of glam art will do the trick to stun your guests with the glitter, glitz and glamour of your bridal shoes.

According to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, nearly one in
five Medicare patients discharged from hospitals today is readmitted
within 30 days—often unnecessarily. The 18 percent of Medicare patients
who wind up back in the hospital after 30 days account for $15 billion
in spending.
The home care assistance one receives during the first 30 days at home after
discharge from a hospital or other healthcare facility is vital to
ensuring their long-term recovery. Often mistakes made in medications,
missed follow-up medical appointments, poor nutrition and dehydration,
and lack of safety preparation in the home are the issues that can lead
to readmission. Preventing these problems and others are already tasks
that Home Instead CAREGivers℠ provide. In fact, a 2010 pilot program conducted for the Home Instead Senior Care® network found that seniors who received the network's home care services
had a significantly reduced rate in the percentage of patients
readmitted to the hospital: 11 percent versus the national average of 20
The key elements of the Home Instead Senior Care network's Returning Home℠ Program that can be easily implemented by its CAREGivers include:
Utilizing these Home Instead CAREGiver services as part of a
returning home program can mean better recovery outcomes for seniors who
have been discharged from a medical facility with fewer readmissions
and savings in both dollars and stress for them and their loved ones.
Home Instead offers free monthly newsletters with tips and advice for caregivers of elderly loved ones. (Privacy Policy)

This is not going to end well. The CN Tower, which stretches 116 stories above the Toronto skyline, its "main pod" hovering there like some sort of malevolent spacecraft, will now invite tourists to stroll around its perimeter. There will be no fences, no ledges, no plexiglass walls. NOTHING, in fact, standing between you and a 365m plunge – save for the janky, sure-to-malfunction cable that binds your harness to an overhead railing.
And what about the poor, innocent pedestrians down below? The ones who didn't pay $US175 to poop their jumpsuits while gasping for oxygen and enjoying the views of Toronto suburbs? They'll probably feel nothing, I suppose, when they're instantly taken out by a falling shoe or dislodged icicle. Plunging ice daggers, they say, are the most efficient of all killing machines.

Amicae, the feminist activist group on campus, faces decreasing membership. Melanie Patterson, '77, cites a number of programs the group sponsored about rape crisis and the International Year of the Woman, but says "we as a group became discouraged because of the lack of campus response to those projects." A significant number of Amicae women graduate this year and Martin House, which has been a special interest house for women, becomes known as the "constructive living" house in the fall. New residents are primarily interested in vegetarianism, meditation, and yoga.

Feminist author Adrienne Rich speaks to a crowded Bucknell Forum on October 14. An historical approach to sexist injustice is the theme of her talk. She reads some of her recent poetry as well as portions of her new prose book, Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution.
The Bucknellian, 10/22/76
International Women's Day is celebrated March 6 with a discussion and covered dish dinner at Hulley House. Co-sponsored by Amicae and Critical Studies House, the event includes several Bucknell professors, students, and women's group organizers. Nancy Neuman, President of the League of Women Voters in Pennsylvania emphasized the ERA and equality under the law. Assistant professor of psychology Genie Gerdes discussed gender role socialization. English professor Karl Patten, history instructor Mary Porter, and assistant professor of political science Pat Longley talked about women's participation in the classroom and their lack of visibility on campus. Patrice Ingrassia, '76, one of the day's coordinators viewed the day as a success. "So many people came . . . and we not only dealt with issues outside the campus, but we also dealt with Bucknell, " she said. She is also quoted as saying, "It was a disappointment that there were so few underclass women though."
The Bucknellian, 3/12/76
Soprano Jessye Norman, a singer of world stature, presents a recital in Rooke Chapel, November 2. "One of the leading sopranos of Europe," her concert in Toronto was described "as nearly a flawless performance as one could rightly expect from the human voice."

Dr. Marilyn Mumford receives the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching and receives tenure in the English Department. Having received her doctorate from Penn State and been promoted to assistant professor in 1974, she is also advanced at this time to associate professor. "Students and colleagues alike are virtually unanimous in their praise of Professor Mumford as a teacher. She is highly regarded for the depth and breadth of her learning and the interest she is able to generate in a variety of subject matters." Dr. Mumford's "wit, energy and imagination vitally combine to project ideas vividly," according to the citation she receives at commencement. She offers a variety of courses, from children's literature, to medieval texts, to classes on journalism. She offers some of the first courses in women's literature as well.

In September, Sunflower, the Lewisburg Area Child Care Center, opens in the former Tustin Gymnasium. The University Physical Plant has renovated the former archery room for a play area. The space also contains a nursery and child psychology observation room, where Bucknell students or parents can, without being seen, watch the children's interactions. Sunflower is directed by Brown graduate and former junior high teacher Judy Peeler, wife of Political Science Professor John Peeler. Sunflower pays rent to the university for the space. Student volunteers are welcome.

Having served Bucknell for 47 years, Trennie Eisley retires from her position as Public Relations Director emerita. She has taught English and economics courses for many years, and served under eight of Bucknell's first 12 presidents. A director of the Middle Atlantic District of the American College Public Relations Association, Trennie was also a charter member and first president of the Lewisburg Junior Civic League and a charter member of the local chapter of the American Association of University Women. The trustees honor her with a citation on May 13, saying in part, "This citation cannot follow any conventional pattern because its subject never did. Long before women's lib, eons before ERA, Trennie Eisley was breaking masculine taboos and traditions -- breaking them blithely and brilliantly -- for Bucknell . . . In honoring Trennie E. Eisley, Bucknell is honoring her own -- and herself."

The Society for Women Engineers is established by three sophomores, Kathy Olson, an electrical engineer, and Elizabeth Diggs and Cynthia Karbowski, both mechanical engineers. "The Society provides a chance to meet students in the classes above and below them, especially above them," notes Betty Diggs. At this time there are 126 women engineering majors, while five years earlier, there were just 12. These students "needed role models, information, inspiration, and an outlet, all of which SWE provided and continues to provide today."
The play for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf is performed on campus through Bucknell University Theater. This choreo-poem by Ntozake Shange is a celebration of being black and being woman. Cast members included Nancy Barnwell, Judy Hill, Alison Baytop, Michelle Brown, Stacy Ross, Debra Ivory, and Stephanie Coleman.
Alison who played the lady in red recalls: "The experience was awesome. We got into the play because we were in a readers theater production for Kwanza; then we decided that we wanted to bring the play to campus and make a full production of it. We had to fight to perform the play then. The director of the play was Professor Simmons who had done a lot of theater and was very dramatic (you couldn't tell his accent because it was a New Yorker, West Indies, British accent). The campus came and saw the play and we had a fullhouse for the play every night. We toured the play with Professor Simmons' play group and that was how we made our money sophomore and junior year in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey area."

Dr. Trudy Bender Cunningham is offered a position as a full-time visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics. After initially declining the offer to teach math part-time at Bucknell since she considered it was not worth the effort required to leave her small children and make the necessary child care arrangements, she accepts the full-time post. With degrees from the University of Chattanooga, the University of Oregon, and the University of Tennessee, she is a specialist in mathematics education.

Zeta Phi Beta, a national black sorority, was chartered on Bucknell's campus. Members included Alison Baytop, Cheryl Garth, Kennie Johnson, Judy Hill, Stephanie Coleman, and Michele Brown, all from the class of 1981.
Michele recalls: "We blazed the sorority and really had a hard time with the University. They really didn't understand why we needed to have our own charter for a Black sorority when we already have nine 'perfectly good sororities' already that we could join. Bucknell sometimes struggles with the issues of preference and your preference with affiliating with others. We educated residential life with the fact that there are needs in this area and Zeta Phi Beta was chartered. The university was concerned with the fact that all of the women in the sorority were in the same class and what happens when you all graduate? However, it filled the need at the time and that's what we had to address - we didn't have the luxury as a small community to embrace the long term historical significance of what we are doing; we have to address the need as we face it at that particular time. The sorority brought women together who didn't necessarily see eye to eye, but we had a singular purpose to provide community service for Black women and we did that, this is the same thing that happened for the Black fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma which was chartered the year before in 1978. You can't diminish the fact that these systems did a lot for the students who started them as well as the University. It was a good experience for the University because it had to come to terms with the way historically Black pledge classes conduct their rush systems. It wasn't easy to convince the University of the importance of having this system, however they are better for having had this experience in the long run."
WRC Interview, 3/9/96
Ellen Q. Bush, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate cum laude in the Class of 1979, majored in both history and political science. She recalls that Bucknell was a place where women and men worked on equal footing. "I felt very strongly that I was equal with any male on campus and I do credit our educational staff for that," she remarked. As a successful investment banker, she recognizes that some fields can be male-dominated, but for her, the university classroom was gender-blind. "Professors didn't look out and see a response as him versus her ...I never felt when I walked into a classroom that there was competition between male and female students." In Ellen's view, this experience offered her a sense of empowerment; "There is a strength that comes with academic succeeding...gender should not matter."
Describing her time at the University in the late 70s, Ellen remarked, "We had just come off the end of the Viet Nam War and there was a greater awareness of what power students have." She appreciated the role Bucknell played in bringing nationally known speakers to campus. "Bella Abzug, Ralph Nader, and Cecily Tyson came... Gerald Ford was here as well."

Maureen Murphy is promoted from Assistant to Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. She has served for six years as the Affirmative Action Coordinator and Chairperson of the Equal Opportunity Committee, and for two years she has been coordinating the Women's Studies Interdisciplinary Concentration. In her role as an advisor, she tells students not to rush into things. "I tell them 'keep your options open,'" she says. Although she juggles responsibilities as a professional educator, university administrator, wife, daughter, mother of three, gardener, and horseback rider, she does not consider herself "a superwoman" as others might. "It's important to know who you are and what you're about." Dean Murphy notes, "It's important not to take a back seat." She remarks that students have changed during her time here. I have women students tell me 'I'm not a feminist' and I wonder what's wrong with being a feminist." She feels that her own feminism has served her well.

Celestron is proud to introduce a revolutionary coating system that outperforms any other coating in the commercial telescope market. Our most popular Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes are now available with this high quality optical coating at an incredible value.
Navigate through this section to get detailed information on how XLT is designed, and how XLT measures up against our current StarBright coatings. We have also used this site as a resource to provide information on our testing methods and we offer a section detailing which models this new coating will be available with and the cost breakdown for each model.
StarBright XLT & Our Commitment to Quality top ^
We strive to design and engineer products with quality components using a state of the art manufacturing process that is followed up with uncompromising quality assurance. You can see it in the design and quality of our entire product line. And our new StarBright XLT coating system is no exception.
Design – We design and test our optical coatings with the aid of thin film design software in wide use throughout the optical, semiconductor, aerospace, and telecommunications industries. Using this software we have improved on our multi-layer enhanced mirror coatings, shifting the peak reflectance to the center of the visible spectrum. We have designed a completely new multi-layer anti-reflective coating and have introduced a new low absorption, high transmission glass for our corrector lens. This unequaled combination is standard with every StarBright XLT system.
Quality Components and Process – Our coating process uses state-of-the-art thin film vacuum deposition technology. To ensure consistent optical coatings of the highest quality the process is tightly monitored and controlled by highly trained coating technicians. Prior to coating, each optical element is thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure proper adhesion of the films during the coating process. The materials used in our reflective and anti-reflective coatings including Aluminum, Hafnium Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Silicon Dioxide, and Magnesium Fluoride are the purest available, exceeding 99.99%.
Quality Assurance - Our QA process is designed to prevent any optical element from passing if it does not meet our strict standards of optical quality. Witness plates are included in each coating run, and are subjected to spectrophotometric analysis to determine if the minimum acceptable transmission or reflectance has been achieved.
Optical Elements of the Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope top ^
A telescope is a group of optical elements that collects light and focuses it for observation by an eyepiece or some other imaging device. There are two types of optical elements: mirrors and lenses. Mirrors reflect light and lenses refract, or bend light. The Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope uses both mirrors and lenses. The diagram below shows a cross-section of a Schmidt-Cassegrain. In this telescope, light first passes through the corrector lens, and then reflects off the primary mirror. Finally, it reflects off the secondary mirror and comes to a focus at the focal plane.
Optical Coatings
The purpose of a telescope is to collect as much light as possible. The amount of light collected affects the brightness of the resulting image. Unfortunately, there are sources of light loss at each optical surface, and within each lens. Fortunately, we can design optical coatings and choose lens materials that minimize the amount of light lost to these sources.
Optical coatings are very thin layers of material that are applied to the glass in a process called 'vacuum deposition '. The physical properties and thickness of each layer in the coating, as well as their orientation with each other and the glass to which they are applied, determine how well they will do their job.
Since the function of a mirror is to collect light by way of reflection, we use highly reflective metallic coatings on these optical elements. A mirror without coatings reflects about 4% of the light that hits its surface. A mirror coated with standard Aluminum coatings reflects about 86 - 88%, and a mirror coated with StarBright XLT reflects 95%.
Light traveling through a lens is a little more complicated. In this case, light is lost to both reflection and absorption. When light first strikes an uncoated lens, about 4% is reflected back and never has the chance to make it through. Some of the remaining 96% will be absorbed on its way through the glass, and then the second lens surface reflects another 4%. To minimize unwanted reflection, dielectric materials are used in pairs of alternating high and low refractive index. A good anti-reflection (A/R) coating for telescope lenses is one that will deliver very low, very 'flat ' reflectance across the entire visible spectrum.
Although A/R coatings can dramatically reduce the amount of light lost to reflection, no optical coating can reduce the amount of light lost to absorption within the glass. To reduce this source of light loss, it is important to choose a glass that absorbs as little light as possible.
For many A/R coating applications, it is standard to measure the reflection of the coated surface and to ignore the amount of light that is being absorbed by the glass. But for a telescope lens, stating how well an A/R coating suppresses reflection without also revealing how much light is lost to absorption within the glass can be quite misleading. For this application, actual transmission, which accounts for light lost to both sources, should be measured directly. You can learn more about how we did these measurements in the section titled Our Measurements.
Telescope System Transmission
System transmission is the percentage of light that arrives at the focal plane compared to the light that enters the telescope, and is calculated by taking the product of the corrector lens transmission, the primary mirror reflectance, and the secondary mirror reflectance. Here is an example; if the corrector lens transmits 92% of the light, and the primary and secondary each reflect 89% of the light, then:
Total System Transmission = .92 * .89 * .89 = .73 (73%)
StarBright XLT — An Optical System Breakthrough! top ^
Celestron has brought its renowned StarBright technology to an even higher level of light transmission with the introduction of our new optional StarBright XLT High Performance Optical Coating System.
StarBright XLT Optical System Design — You'll See The Light.
One of the most important factors in the evaluation of a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope's optical system performance is its transmission — the percentage of incoming light that reaches the focal plane. The design of the XLT System accomplishes two crucial objectives: Develop a coating system that is optimized for visual use and for CCD/Photographic imaging.
The StarBright XLT System — What Makes It Different Makes It Better
There are three major components that make up our StarBright XLT high transmission optical system design:
1. Unique enhanced multi-layer mirror coatings Our mirror coatings are made from precise layers of Aluminum (Al), SiO2 (quartz), TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide), and Si02. Reflectivity is fairly flat across the spectrum, optimizing it for both CCD imaging and visual use. Click here to see a plot of the reflectivity of XLT's Mirror Coatings.
2. Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings Made from precise layers of MgF2 (Magnesium Fluoride), and HfO2 (Hafnium Dioxide) A rare element costing nearly $2000 per kilogram, Hafnium gives us a wider band pass than Titanium, used in competing coatings. Click here to see a plot of XLT's corrector transmission.
3. High Transmission Water White glass Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain optical systems with optional StarBright XLT coatings use Water White glass instead of Soda Lime glass for the corrector lens. Water White glass transmits about 90.5% without anti-reflective coatings. That is 3.5% better transmission than uncoated Soda Lime glass. When Water White glass is used in conjunction with StarBright XLT 's anti-reflective coatings, the average transmission reaches 97.4% — an 8% improvement! Click here to see a plot of water white glass versus soda lime.*
These three components of our StarBright XLT coatings result in one of the finest coatings available. The peak transmission for the systems is 89% at 520 nm. The overall system transmission is 83.5% averaged over the spectrum from 400 to 750 nm. The plot below shows the entire system transmission over the spectrum.
This plot is obtained by measuring the reflectivity of the secondary mirror and the primary mirror and measuring the amount of light transmitted through the coated corrector lens. Each of those values are multiplied together calculate the system transmission. The overall system transmission peaks at 88.9% while the average transmission is 83.5% over the spectrum from 400 to 750nm.
*Percent differences are calculated by taking the comparison data percentage divided by the baseline data. Example: Measured average system transmission for current StarBright is 72%. XLT average system transmission is 83.5%. 83.5% divided by 72% = 1.16 or 16% improvement. Measurement results are rounded to the nearest whole percentage.
StarBright XLT vs. Current StarBright Coatings top ^
StarBright XLT system transmission gives a 16% improvement compared to the current StarBright coatings. The average system transmission for the current StarBright coatings is 72% where the average system transmission StarBright XLT is 83.5%. Current StarBright uses soda lime glass correctors where StarBright XLT uses water white glass, which improves the corrector throughput dramatically.
The average system transmission of StarBright XLT 83.5% compared to current StarBright at 72%. StarBright XLT is a 16% improvement over current StarBright .* The peak transmissions of each being 89% and 80% respectively.

XLT average system transmission is 83.5%. 83.5% divided by 72% = 1.16 or 16% improvement. Measurement results are rounded to the nearest whole percentage.
Testing Methods: top ^
Total telescope light throughput can be measured in two different ways; either by measurement of the assembled optical system, or by measurement of the reflectance of each mirror (or reflective element), and the transmission of each refractive element in the optical path. In the case of a Schmidt Cassegrain telescope, there are two reflective elements (the primary and secondary mirrors), and one refractive element (the corrector plate, or Schmidt Corrector). See diagram below:
Assembled Telescope vs. Individual Optical Element Analysis:
To measure the throughput of the assembled telescope, a beam of light is passed through the telescope and compared to a beam of equal intensity light passing through air only. Total telescope throughput is then the ratio of light intensity measured through the telescope divided by the light intensity measured through air. This is easily said, but very challenging to execute correctly. Great care must be taken to ensure that the reference beam is of constant intensity, and that its light is collected in a manner which does not bias the results. Errors introduced by beam geometry (f ratio) at the entrance to the detector, less than perfect alignment of the optical elements, including placement and dimensions of internal light baffles, will tend to reduce the intensity of light measured through the telescope.
The second method of measuring total telescope throughput, by spectrophotometric analysis of each element in the optical path, is not susceptible to these sources of error. Furthermore, individual element analysis provides specific information about each optical element, while measuring the throughput of the assembled optical tube does not. Results obtained in this manner represent an upper limit to the actual throughput of the assembled telescope. Total Telescope Throughput (%TT) is less than or equal to Corrector Plate Transmission (%TC) times Primary Mirror Reflectance (%RP) times Secondary Mirror Reflectance (%RS).
Corrector Plate Transmission (%TC):
We use a Shimadzu UV1601 spectrophotometer for analysis of corrector plate transmission. This is a double beam instrument with a spectral range of 190 to 1100nm. Transmission data is typically collected in the visible region from 400 to 750 nm. Small samples of corrector material called witness plates are included in each corrector coating run. In order to minimize handling and the possibility of scratching a full size corrector plate, we use these witness plates to represent the transmission characteristics of our correctors.
Our instrument is capable, however, of measuring the transmission of correctors up to 8" diameter. If this is necessary, the corrector plate is measured at 4 points roughly 90° apart, and the results are averaged. Before and after each measurement, baseline (100%) measurements are made to ensure light source and/or detector drift is negligible.
Primary and Secondary Reflectance (%RP, %RS):
The preferred method of measuring reflectance of primary and secondary mirrors involves the use of witness plates as well. These are small (1" to 2" diameter) flat polished glass substrates, which are coated along with the primary and secondary mirrors. Since the coating process is the same, and the surfaces are equally well polished, the reflectance of the witness plate is the same as that for the primary and secondary mirror. The reasons for using flat witness plates are 1) the primary and secondary mirrors are not themselves subjected to a measurement process which can potentially cause scratches, and 2) very simple test methods and readily available reference standards can be used to measure the reflectance of flat surfaces.
Typically, the reflectance of a surface is measured against a standard reference of known reflectance. Our standard reference is an enhanced aluminum coated quartz flat, calibrated against a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) specular reflectance standard. To measure the reflectance of a flat sample, the baseline measurement is made using this standard, and the reflectance of the sample is compared to this baseline. The sample reflectance factor (%RS) is equal to its reflectance relative to the reference standard (%RSR) times the reference standard's known reflectance (%RR):
However, if the sample to be measured has a curved surface like a secondary or a primary mirror, and there is no witness plate available, then special care must be taken to ensure that the method used to measure reflectance is insensitive to this curvature. If we compared the reflectance of a curved surface directly to that of a flat reflectance standard, our results would not be accurate, since the converging or diverging beam generated by a curved surface would direct either less light (in the case of a secondary mirror), or more light (in the case of a primary mirror) onto the detector than was directed by the flat reference standard.
The most widely used tool for measuring the reflectance of curved surfaces is called an integrating sphere. This device collects and then measures the intensity of light in a manner which is insensitive to beam geometry, hence, insensitive to surface curvature of a reflective sample being measured. However, integrating spheres can be quite expensive, and they are time-consuming to set up and calibrate. We developed a method which is equally insensitive to surface curvature, but much less costly and time consuming to perform. We made our own reference standards from secondary and primary mirrors with the same surface curvature as those we wished to test.
We obtained samples of the secondary and primary mirrors which we wished to test, stripped the existing coating, and replaced it with one for which we also obtained flat witness plates. These flat witness plates were calibrated against a NIST specular reflectance standard. Since the flat witness plates were coated along with the curved samples, and since we have adequate data to show that our coatings are very uniform from part to part in any given coating run, we can apply this reflectance data to our curved samples. Using these curved surface reflectance standards we are able to measure other mirrors of the same curvature just as we use our flat reflectance standard to measure the reflectance of flat samples.
To perform these measurements, we use an Ocean Optics USB2000 Spectrometer with an LS-1 Tungsten Halogen Light Source. This is a single-beam instrument with a 0.3nm resolution, a scanning range from 340nm to 1024nm, and is equipped with a fiber optic curved-surface reflectance measuring probe.
Reporting the Data:
Collecting the data and reducing it to yield total telescope throughput (%TT) (system transmission) is simply a matter of multiplication. We find the average of each data set (%TC, %RP, and %RS) for each wavelength measured, and multiply them together.

I'm finding that more often than not debating with people is becoming rather frustrating. I'm talking about debating with Atheists as well, not just Theists, just people in general are fucking retarded. For ex: The arguments are usually fallacious and the person trying to argue there point is debating for the wrong reasons. They only wish to win an argument, they have no intentions of looking at my side of the debate and say "Yeah, I understand your point of view, but I disagree with you". There's no respect and little maturity about it. And I think the keyword here is understanding.
How can two people with completely separate views, agree to disagree? I mean I've tried my best to debate with people, I really have. But not too many people know how to back up there arguments, or even say something remotely intelligent. It's always something completely ignorant and obnoxious like "Fuck you".
So, I am familiar with these fallacies but would be interested if others could list a few common fallacies as well. Or even give your advice on how I should cope with everyday people who just want to argue for the sake of winning. I just feel like expressing my opinions is becoming sort of this empty void if nobody takes anything seriously (Someone inspire me so I don't go cry in a dark room, write poetry, and slit my wrists\sarcasm).
Fallacies I'm familiar with:
Ad hominem- Personal attacks.
Strawman- Misrepresentation of position.
Slipper Slopes-Coming to a conclusion with no prior evidence.
Circular reasoning (Not sure if it's a fallacy, but it's still a piss off none the less).
Views: 207
Debate is totally worth it, but it isn't easy. It sounds like 1) you aren't debating with people with whom it is worth debating. 2) It sounds like you don't have a lot of experience with actual debate tactics. There are way more fallacies than that and your definition of a slippery slope isn't accurate, nor is it always fallacious. A slippery slope goes like this, one person argues for A while the other says that if A causes B then it will also cause C, D, E, F, and G as B causes C, and C causes D, etc. ad nauseum. Sometimes this is true but sometimes it is not, recognizing how and when this argument can be fallacious is key. Here is a good site that explains various logical fallacies.
These two things matter, as your opponents will derail the debate into nothing more than an argument and you will have no ability to recognize have the BS they send your way.
Finally, debate, even if it doesn't change the other side's mind, is a great tool to reach the audience of the debate, whether that is in an online forum or in the audience of a formal debate. They're your swing voters who can be brought over to your side by hearing a rational discourse.
How can you know if someone is worth debating without actually debating that person?
What Neal said ("For myself, I might debate a point fairly strongly, yet later, when the information sinks in, my mind can be changed. Happens, I can be stubborn. =)" ) supports the fact that people can think different after a while, they can change their minds, they can be stubborn about a topic, and they can think more clearly about another one. If you debate someone about something and they don't seem to be actually worth debating, but they could be worth debating in another topic, what does that make him/her? Would you consider debating again? Would you ignore everything they have to say about something else just because they were hardheaded in another situation? I don't think it's that easy to just point out who is worth debating and who isn't.
The major difference in an Atheist and Christian debate is that the Atheists most probably knows what it feels like to be on the opposite side.
Most theists don't know what it feels like to be Atheist so they don't know how to understand it. But contrary , Atheists already know what it feels like to be a Theist , so there really is not much 'coming to an understanding' of the opposite point of view needed because they already DO understand. '
With anything non religious , I too wish others would be more open to having their beliefs questioned. Skepticism is the cure for all delusions.
In my experience, I have found the best weapon against theists, is the bible itself. It is so contradictory and convoluted that when they make a point, I can easily counter it with their own "guidebook to the universe"
Indoctrination is a tough nut to crack, but since I teach religion at university level, anything I teach is corroborated by various sources. When I get the most "converts" so to speak, is when I tell students they can bring their preacher/minister, or whatever to class, and we can discuss the issue. It is then, that, since the preacher knows that I know what he knows......that they admit that what they preach, is only one explanation, when they are given many in seminary, and therefore, it is not necessarily the truth. This is when I get the most "converts" as students come to realize they have been duped.
Debating with theists is frustrating because they typically do not know how to debate logically and rationally, have never considered their position, and are heavy users of logical fallacies ... I typically avoid debating with theists and instead try to stick to just providing them with information or answering a question or two.
Debating with atheists is frustrating because they typically have taken at least as much time consider and settle on their side of the debate as I have taken to consider and settle on my side of the debate. It's like two bulls butting heads.... it's unlikely that either my or their position is going to be changed but if both sides can avoid name calling and keep the "heat" to a manageable level then you can at least learn something, hopefully, even if it's just how to better defend your position.
As for learning about logical fallacies I've found the below websites helpful along with wikipedia of course.
>Ad hominem- Personal attacks.
More precise definition: attacking a position or an aspect of a person's character which is unrelated to the position one is supposed to be arguing against.
Emotional attachment to one's conclusions (whether or not there is empirical evidence supporting the conclusion), is a major reason debates go awry.
I always ask people I debate with to detach emotionally from what they think is true, so that unbiased reasoning can be employed long enough that we can understand one another.
It takes a brave theist to do this, and in my experience, they cannot take their emotions out of the mix, which result in comes backs like, "Fuck You." I absolutely think "fuck you" is an emotional response.
I'm insulted for being apathetic in debates, but I'll be honest, I sort of pride myself on it. I don't have to be an asshole to get my point across, yet even with my most intelligent and well thought out arguments, I am received as an "Evil doer," because I am asking them to think with absolute objectivity.
Too many individuals, from what I can see, are too deeply identified with what they think they know, leaving little to no room for expansion, or new information to surface. It's as if they think their beliefs, or their stance, are who they are, and if you challenge that belief or stance, you are challenging them as an individual. Emotions are a hindrance for this reason.

Total compensation at advisory firms either remained steady or increased for the vast majority of firms throughout 2011 and 2012. Less than 1% of firms decreased compensation during that time period.
The findings are contained in The FA Insight Study of Advisory Firms: People and Pay Compensation Update for 2012, released Tuesday. The firm's principals, Dan Inveen and Eliza DePardo, regularly contribute to Investment Advisor on their survey findings.
FA Insight, a consulting and research firm that focuses on advisors, defines total compensation as base pay and variable pay including commissions, bonuses, and performance-based incentives.
"These results suggest that compensation within the financial advisory industry is rising at rates significantly greater than the rate of increase for U.S. workers at large," the study reports. "In the two-year period dating back to the close of 2010, the cumulative increases in compensation for advisory firms are anticipated to range from 6.1% to 10.3%."
For comparison, Inveen and De Pardo point to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and note wages and salaries for all U.S. workers rose 1.7% in the most recent 12-month period ending in September of 2012 and cumulatively increased 3.3% during the last 24 months.
Focusing just on professional positions, "a slightly higher percentage of firms expected an annual increase in total compensation during 2012 (71%) than those that increased total compensation in 2011 (68%)."
Founded in 2008, FA Insight is for the financial services industry.
The most prevalent firm size that responded was between $500,000 and $1.5 million in gross annual revenue. More than 70% of participating firms consider themselves to be RIA only with no broker-dealer affiliation. Half of participants identify with the service positioning of wealth management.
"Across all position groups, the median total compensation increased in both 2011 and 2012," the authors note. "Percentage increases varied from 1.5% to 5%, depending on the year and role. Depending upon position group, the typical advisory firm expects compensation at the close of 2012 to be between 3.0% and 5.0% greater relative to one year ago."
The smallest firms in the survey, those with between $100,000 and $500,000 in revenue, showed the biggest percentage increases in total compensation. Their expected 10% increase for 2012 is double the percentage increase anticipated by their larger peers.
Results indicated that variable pay as a percentage of total compensation is not expected to change significantly in 2012 relative to 2011, and only support staff positions are anticipated to have a slightly larger variable pay component relative to total compensation for 2012.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Jonathan Papelbon infamously said during last year's damning meltdown that 'he didn't come here for this.'
The Phillies could retort that they didn't bring Papelbon here for this - this, as in the waning velocity, inconsistency and mentally weak shell of a closer he has been since the midway point of last season.
After the All-Star break last season, when the going got tough, Papelbon shriveled. He posted a 0.905 walks and strikeouts per nine innings (WHIP) ratio before the break. After the break, he let nearly 70 percent more runners on base (1.522).
If Papelbon had been disappointed enough with the organization with whom he signed a four-year, $50,000,058 contract prior to 2012 that he wanted out, that wasn't the way to punch a one-way ticket. No team wanted to touch Papelbon or even a fraction of the morbidly obese contract Ruben Amaro Jr. gave him in a deal.
Then came Wednesday, when manager Ryne Sandberg entrusted Papelbon with a two-run lead in the ninth against the Rangers. After he put himself in a bind by giving up a pair of hits to put the tying runs in scoring position, Papelbon caught a bad break on a slow roller for an infield hit. That was followed with a hard-hit grounder that got by a drawn-in Chase Utley - a positioning Papelbon didn't like, since it could have been a game-ending double play with the middle infielders back.
Sandberg backed his choice to have the infield in and attempt to cut down the tying run, and he has history on his side. Whereas the average pitcher in baseball has an 11 percent success rate in getting a double-play grounder in that situation, Papelbon's career average is a paltry 4 percent. Yes, closers tend to have lower rates for lots of reasons, but Mariano Rivera's double-play rate was 10 percent, Trevor Hoffman's 8 percent. Even Billy Wagner, hardly the guy you think of as a groundball machine, managed to get double plays at an 8 percent rate. So Papelbon grousing that, 'I was thinking, 'Let's get the double play here,'' had little backing from the facts.
Yet Papelbon is just the very visible tip of a bullpen iceberg that has been crashing into Phillies games and sinking them to the bottom of the ocean since the start of last season. In 2013, the Phillies had the second-worst bullpen ERA in the National League at 4.19, edged only by the poor souls who play at Coors Field for the Rockies (4.23), and a 81 earned runs worse than the league average (3.69) over the course of a season. They also were 27th in the majors, with the epically bad Astros (4.92) and Mariners (4.58) the only AL teams knocked around more with help from the designated-hitter rule.
They are only three games into 2014, and one series does not a season make. But for a bullpen that remained a question mark, the signs aren't good. Again, the Phillies have the second-worst bullpen ERA in the NL (8.22) and are 28th out of 30 major-league teams.
You can't say that there haven't been changes to the bullpen since last Opening Day. Chad Durbin (9.00 ERA), Raul Valdes (7.46), Phillippe Aumont (4.19 ERA, but an unsightly 1.91 WHIP) and Jeremy Horst (6.23) were on the roster to open 2013, as was Mike Adams (3.96), although the only reason he wasn't in the bullpen to start this season was his being a couple of weeks behind due to shoulder surgery last year.
The problem is that the guys who were in the 'pen for the opening series against Texas weren't exactly experienced or all that effective in 2013. The right-hander in whom Sandberg and pitching coach Bob McClure are showing the most trust in the opening week is B.J. Rosenberg, and he had a 4.58 ERA and 1.475 WHIP in 22 appearances with the Phils last season - hardly a record of dependability. Rosenberg responded by retiring only one of the five batters he faced and allowing three of four inherited runners to score. Calling Rosenberg the most trusted right-hander isn't saying much, since aside from Papelbon he was the only right-hander used, as Justin De Fratus, Brad Lincoln and long reliever Jeff Manship were left to watch.
Left-handers Jake Diekman, Antonio Bastardo and even Mario Hollands, who bounced back from a jittery big-league debut by working a perfect eighth inning Wednesday, seem to have the best hope of being dependable. But at some point, someone from the right side has to be able to keep the Phillies from repeating the disaster of last season - and that includes the obscenely-paid closer.
Because Phillies fans didn't come for this, either.

As Indian pacers failed to make an impression against England, former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram says the future of Indian bowling looks "bleak" and it's time that the new faces get a chance in the team.
Apart from Pragyan Ojha (20 wickets) and Ravichandran Ashwin (12), no Indian bowler bagged more than five wickets in the series, which India lost 1-2. "To be very honest, the future of Indian bowling looks bleak. Zaheer Khan looked average in the three Tests and then got dropped. Ishant Sharma was okay in patches but after five years at the international level you have to be more consistent.
"I am afraid he is going the Mohammad Sami way – a wasted talent. Umesh Yadav seems to be injury prone and the selectors don't pick Varun Aaron," Akram told espanstar.com.
Akram said time has come that the Indian selectors pick youngsters, who have potential to be successful at international level. "It's time that India look for new faces or tell the present bunch to shape up or ship out. I will suggest a certain Shami Ahmed to get a look in. The Bengal pacer is just 22 years old but has tremendous potential. Having worked with him for Kolkata Knight Riders from 2011 season, I believe bowlers like him are the forward for Team India," the KKR consultant said.
Akram also said that the England's support staff was better equipped than its Indian counterpart. "The lack of planning in the Indian team was pretty visible even on the television screens and that reflected on the bowling front as well. It seemed the bowlers were going through the motion rather than planning their wickets.
"England's team director Andy Flower, bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmad and batting coach Graham Gooch were all in sync unlike the Indian backroom staff," said Akram.

January 28, 1986
The President. Well, I'm sure we all realize there's a little change in the procedures. I'd looked forward to coming in here and having a little session with you and some briefing, all very carefully sequestered until 9 o'clock tonight on the State of the Union. But in view of the tragedy that has befallen us, I don't think we'll do that. I know that you're interested in keeping up with this, as I am also, to find out the extent of it and what has taken place. So, I just wanted to say hello and appreciate your coming here and maybe we can do the other thing another time.
Q. Mr. President, can you give us your comments on the tragedy so that we can tell the American people your words, your thoughts?
The President. Well, what can you say? It's a horrible thing that all of us have witnessed it and actually seen it take place. And I just can't rid myself of the thought of the sacrifice and the families that have been watching this also, the families of those people on board and what they must be going through at this point. I'm sure all of America is more than saddened, feels the great weight of this, and wishes, as I do, that there was something we could do to make it easier for those who've suffered such a loss.
Q. Mr. President, what is the latest word you've gotten? Have you gotten any definitive word on the condition -- --
The President. Actually, no. We have no more information than you yourselves have that are going down there. It's a case of having to wait.
Q. Mr. President, do you want to see all systems halted until we find out explicitly what happened in this tragedy?
The President. Well, I'm not a scientist. I do have confidence in the people that have been running this program. And this is the first in, what is it, 56-some flights that something of this kind has happened. I certainly want everything done that can be done to find out how this could have happened and to ensure against its happening again. But there again, I have to say I'm sure that the people that have to do with this program are determined to do that right now. And I'm quite sure, also, when you look at the safety measures that sometimes those of us looking on have gotten a little impatient with when flights have been aborted, and it hasn't seemed as if the situation -- well, it seems as if they were taking things too seriously. Now we know they weren't. And so, I'm confident that there will be no flight until they are absolutely as certain as a human being can be that it is safe.
Q. Mr. President, do you think it raises questions about having citizens aboard the space shuttle?
The President. Well, they're all citizens, and I don't think anyone's ever been on there that isn't a volunteer. I know I've heard many times from other people that have tried to give me reasons why they, or someone like them, should be included in flights of this kind. So, no, that is the last frontier and the most important frontier. We have to say that the space program has been most successful, most effective. And I guess we've been so confident of it that it comes as such a tremendous shock when something of this kind happens.
Q. Will you still go ahead, sir, with your message tonight?
The President. What?
Q. Will you go ahead with your message tonight?
The President. Yes, I feel that things like that have to go on.
Q. Mr. President, are you afraid there'll be any public backlash against the space program because of this tragedy?
The President. I shouldn't think so, and I would certainly do everything I could to express an opinion the other way. You know, we have accidents in every line of transportation, and we don't do away with those things. They've probably got a better safety record than we have out on the highways.
Q. Mr. President, will you tell us -- --
Q. Do you think it was a mistake to put the teacher on board?
The President. What?
Q. Do you think it was a mistake to put the teacher on board?
The President. No. Again, as I say, this is what the whole space program is leading towards -- actual use.
Q. Mr. President, will you tell us exactly who brought you the news and exactly what you thought and said at that point?
The President. We were all sitting in there, and I was preparing myself for your questions on the State of the Union Address when the Vice President and [Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs] John Poindexter came into the room. And all they could say at the time was that they had received a flash that the space shuttle had exploded. And we immediately went into the adjoining room where I have a TV set to get on this, because there was no direct word except that word that had been made public also. And there we saw the replaying and saw the thing actually happen. And it just was, as I say, a very traumatic experience.
Q. But how does that affect your State of the Union speech tonight? I mean, we were told you were going to give an upbeat -- ``the state of the Union is good'' -- you know, optimistic speech. This has got to cast a pall on it, doesn't it?
The President. Yes, I'm sure it does. And certainly there could be no speech without mentioning this. But you can't stop governing the Nation because of a tragedy of this kind. So, yes, we'll continue.
Q. Philosophically, do you take some solace in the fact that over the years the American space program has been remarkably safe, that we've not lost as many people as we've been led to believe have been lost in the Soviet Union?
The President. Well, I think we've all had a great pride in that. And it is a kind of, well, at least something to cling to right now, although it doesn't lessen our grief at what has just taken place.
Q. Mr. President, the sending of civilians in space was based on the assumption that it was routine to go into space, that it was now safe, even a teacher we could send up. Do you think that notion is now gone?
The President. Well, what could you say, other than that here was a program that had a 100-percent safety record. The only other fatality did not take place in a space shuttle. It took place in an old type of capsule -- --
Q. Mr. President -- --
Mr. Buchanan. One question. One more question.
Q. -- -- so many children have, you know, been a part of this particular space shuttle because of the teacher, and they're doing classrooms. Can you say something that would help them to understand how this happened?
The President. I think people closer to them have got to be doing that. But as I say, the world is a hazardous place, always has been. In pioneering we've always known that there are pioneers that give their lives out there on the frontier. And now this has happened. It probably is more of a shock to all of us because of the fact that we see it happen now and -- thanks to the media -- not just hearing about it as if something that happened miles away. But I think those that have to do with them must, at the same time, make it plain to them that life does go on and you don't back up and quit some worthwhile endeavor because of tragedy.
Q. Do you have any -- --
Mr. Buchanan. -- -- got some folks in the Oval Office that are waiting -- --
The President. Oh.
Q. Sir, do you have any special thoughts about Christa McAuliffe, who, I think it was in this room, was named as the first teacher? What are your thoughts about her today?
The President. I can't get out of my mind her husband and her children. But then that's true of the families of the others. Theirs probably more so because the families of the others had been a part of this whole program and knew that they were in a hazardous occupation. But knowing that they were there and watching, this just is -- well, your heart goes out to them.
Q. Thanks very much.
Note: The President spoke at 1 p.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the White House. At 11:39 a.m., shortly after lift-off from Cape Canaveral, the space shuttle was destroyed by an explosion that killed Commander Francis R. Scobee and crewmembers Michael J. Smith, Judith A. Resnik, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Gregory B. Jarvis, and Sharon Christa McAuliffe. Patrick J. Buchanan was Assistant to the President and Director of Communications.

Late last week, I had the pleasure of hearing from Fr. John Extejt. His family history relates back to Kuschantz and he very kindly shared a historic photo of Nicholas J. Walinski, Sr. (1889 – 1948), who residents may remember, was the father of the famed Polish-American legal family. Nicholas, Sr. was born in Berea, Ohio and after obtaining his law degree at the Cleveland Law School, moved to Toledo in 1908. He spoke Polish when he set up his law practice. Nicholas had two sons: Thaddeus (Ted) who became vice mayor of Toledo (serving under John Potter) and became a Toledo Municipal Court judge and Nicholas, Jr. who became an assistant Toledo city law director and a judge in the Toledo Municipal Court, Lucas County Common Pleas Court, and US District Court.
Nicholas, Sr. was given a dinner in his honor on 5 January 1939. Fr. Extejt shared the photo below.
The dinner was given by the Junction Civic Club, and took place above the J&K Drug Store at the corner of Junction and Nebraska Avenues. The club likely was made up of neighborhood Republicans. Fr. Extejt's mother, Gertrude Rejent Extet, recorded the names of the attendees:
Seated, from left to right: Phil Malikowski, Ed Wawrzyniak, unknown, John Sabin (Sabiniewicz), Ollie Orzchechowski, Charlie Czolgosz, Leo Czarnecki, Nick Walinski Sr., Dr. John Pietrykowski Sr., C.S. Rejent, Siegried Putz, Frank Czolgosz, and Ignatius (Jim) Regent.
Standing, from left to right: Bob Slomowicz, ? Kazczmarek, John Osmialowski, Anthony Prybyla, Steve Putz, Dr. Leo Rejent, Dr. ? Jagdozinski, Frank Klap, Dr. A. J. Rejent, Louis Czajkowski, Leo Figmaka, John Davis, Robert Konwin, Dr. ? Beasecker.
The photo was taking by Zygila Studios. This photography studio was well-known in Toledo during the 1930s and had two locations: one in Kuschwantz on Nebraska Ave. and another in Lagrinka on Lagrange Ave. The business and operated by Katherine (Perzynski) and Edward Zygila and was in demand for portraits and large group shots.
