While you ladies are discussing higher entry fees I would like for you to consider a means to significantly increase your payout: earmarked sponsorships. If a sponsor wants her money to go to a specific division, what am I going to do…say I ain't takin' your stinkin' money? Of course not…I put the money exactly where the sponsor says and, at the conclusion of the tournament, provide her with a financial report to show that's exactly what I did.
We have over three months until the Dogwood. If you ladies were to beat the bushes for sponsorships (and have the sponsors stipulate where the money goes) I promise you that every dollar will go into that division. Can you imagine the whining from the men if the pro women's purse was boosted by $2,000? That's not beyond reason. The reality is that there are many more men players that women and the payout numbers reflect that disparity. Don't just complain about the payouts…do something about it. Go out there and secure sponsorships for your own benefit. You'll be glad you did.

What a nice way to say do-it-yourself-'cause-I-ain't-gonna-do-it-for-you.
Sorry, I couldn't pass that up.
You do bring up a good point. I know I've knocked on doors and rattled some cages to bring in sponsorship money and then watched the "other" Pro divisions complain as all the added cash went only to the Open division. Thanks for planting that seed of thought. I hope it takes root and grows.

Actually, Judy, I will do a little bit for you. I'll pledge right hear and now on the women's forum that I will be personally responsible for bringing in $100 of sponsorship money in addition to being the TD and not playing in the tournament. Think about it...if every player brought in $100 in sponsorships the total payout for the 2009 Dogwood Classic would be in excess of $30,000.00 (Thirty thousand and no/100 Dollars). That's some seroius money!

OK, ladies,
I have a committment from a $100 sponsor and I'm not even playing in the tournament. If y'all don't come to the Dogwood bearing sponsorship cash any whining about your payout will fall on deaf ears. Just so you know, the Memphis Disc Golf Club will guarantee an minimum payout to the Pro Women Open winner of $250 in case your'e not up to the task feathering your own nest.

Final Score: Portland 92, Boston 86
Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Wesley Matthews scored 24 points and led the Portland Trail Blazers to a 92-86 win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
Matthews was 8-of-11 from the field, including five 3-pointers. Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge scored 18 and 16 points, respectively, and J.J. Hickson recorded a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers, who snapped a seven-game losing streak.
"I can't remember when we got our last win ... it was after the Super Bowl. Seems like two years ago," Batum said.
Paul Pierce had a team-high 23 points as well as eight assists and seven rebounds for the Celtics, who came into the game off a win against Phoenix. Kevin Garnett had 20 points and nine boards, while Brandon Bass and Jeff Green scored 11 points apiece.
"We didn't finish any quarter well," Boston head coach Doc Rivers said. "They made some big shots."
Portland had an 82-74 advantage with 5:50 remaining in regulation. The Celtics, however, went on a 12-4 run, capped with a layup by Garnett to tie the game at 86-86 with 1:46 left to play.
Garnett's score was the last for Boston, as Damian Lillard made a three-point play just 14 seconds later and a 3-pointer by Matthews sealed the deal.
Pierce attempted two shots in the final 1:14, but missed both of them.
Pierce was efficient in the first half, scoring 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting. However, the rest of the team struggled as it shot 12-of-39, including 1- of-7 from behind the arc.
The Blazers had a 49-42 lead at halftime. However, the Celtics went on a 13-5 run to take a 55-54 lead with 8:32 remaining in the third.
The teams traded the lead eight times throughout the frame before a 3-pointer by Batum gave the Blazers a 65-63 edge and the team held on for the rest of the game.
Neither team was able to score in the final 1:19 of the period and the two missed combined for six misses.
Entering the fourth, the Blazers led 71-67.
Game Notes
Garnett had 10 points and four rebounds in the fourth quarter ... Eric Maynor, who was traded from Oklahoma City at the trade deadline, made his Portland debut and had two points and three assists ... Since losing Rajon Rondo to a season-ending knee injury, the Celtics are 9-4.

Admissions Counselor
AA, Journalism/Broadcasting, Northern Essex Community College, 2002; BA, Pastoral Ministries, Columbia International University, 2006; ThM, Pastoral Ministries, Dallas Theological Seminary, 2013
Serving with DTS since: Spring 2011
Welcome! Thanks for checking out our site! The decision to attend seminary is a huge one and one that should not be made without counting the cost, weighing the options and seriously seeking God's direction. Beginning this journey was a huge step of faith for my wife and me when we moved here from New Hampshire. I remember when I started the ThM I thought, how will I ever get all of this done? It seemed like so many things had to come together in order for this thing to work. Looking back from where I am now though, 20 credit hours from graduation, I just stand amazed at all the things God has done for us. Not only has he been providing a world class education but he has also generously provided for all of our family's needs, every step along the way. Has it been easy? No way. Has it really been worth it? A thousand times yes.
I had high expectations when I came to DTS. In Bible College I sat under a couple of professors who came through here and I had never seen anyone handle the word with such skill before. Having been here now for four years, I can say that my expectations really have been met and exceeded.
One of the things I've come to appreciate about DTS is its commitment to building me up not only academically but also personally. Right from the start we were placed into a small group of other seminary couples and we walked through those first couple of years of studies together. We had so much fun with that group! Beyond that I've been able to sit across the table from professors at local restaurants or in their home and I've been tremendously encouraged and challenged as I've been able to get to know their stories.
This really is a special place. If God leads you here, you will be blessed and the people God gives you to lead will benefit from your investment. Let me encourage you to not let fear of the unknown keep you from pursuing what He has for you. If God has called you here, He will make it work. Please feel free to give me or any of my coworkers a call if you think DTS may be part of your journey, we'd love to help!
What are your hobbies or outside interests?
I enjoy being outside whether it's riding a bike, hiking a trail, cruising on a motorcycle, working in the yard or roughing it at a campsite. God has created some beautiful things outdoors and I love discovering them.
What made you decide to go to DTS?
I had a professor in college who sat us down one day in a pastoral ministries class and asked us to call out random chapters from random books of the Bible. We did, and each time he was able to give us a basic synopsis of what was going on in that part of scripture…from memory. After a few minutes he said "Men that is what Dallas Seminary will do for you." From that moment I knew that if seminary was in my future, I'd really like for it to be at DTS.
What do you do on your day off?
We start with a trip to Starbucks and I catch up on some of the personal email I've been neglecting all week. After that we get stuff done around the house and hopefully finish the day off with some ice cream and Netflix.
What are your favorite foods?
I love Haitian food. I think I could eat diri ak pwa and sos pwa every day of the week.
What is your favorite television show of all time?
Hard to name one. I like 24, Prisonbreak, West Wing and Lost.
What is the best part about working in the DTS admissions office?
One of the best parts of my job is getting to know you and hearing about how God is leading you in your life. I love meeting and praying with prospective students as they prepare to pursue God's call on their life.
What is your favorite piece of literature?
I don't think I have one favorite. I love history. Recently I enjoyed Written in Blood: The Story of the Haitian People.
What is your favorite quote?
I love what Jim Elliot said: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
What is your favorite musical artist/group/genre of music?
I saw Johnny Cash perform with his wife and son when I was a kid and I've been a fan ever since. I also love the sounds of Haitian kompas. It's the kind of stuff where even if you can't dance, you can't help but move.
Who is the person you admire most and why?
For my entire life my Dad has consistently demonstrated what it means to be a Christian by the way he's lived his life. He's a rock solid man who loves Jesus. If I can be half the man he is, I'll be doing ok.
Who is your favorite Bible character and why?
I admire Joshua and Caleb who did not back down from what God called them to when faced with less than favorable circumstances.
If you could have superhero powers, what would they be?
I think being able to fly would be really cool. At this point though I'd be happy with the ability to read books, comprehend information and distill it into a paper in lightning fast speed.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Somewhere on the southern coast of Haiti with a couple of jetskis at the dock and a coral reef just off the shore.

NEW NXT Amazon listing
Well, I guess now we actually have to write this thing...
Kidding... the team is probably over 50% completed on the book - we have a mid-to-late February deadline to meet and the listing states it'll be available June 1st! Yikes. I've still got a little more to do... back to work.
(The picture is wrong, too - the title is "The Lego Mindstorms NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build" and this cover will most likely change... )

Thanks, Andy... we're looking forward to finishing it!

Is this book going to be dramatically different than "LEGO Mindstorms NXT: The Mayan Adventure".
Actually I hope they are somewhat different in content so I can pick up both at the same time .. .:-)
- Jan 18, 2007, 4:39:00 AM
Yes, this book is different. "The Mayan Adventure" uses a fictional storyline to setup challenges and the book covers 5 robots.
This new book does not have a story in it, but provides detailed instructions for building and programming 9 robots. There are also 8+ chapters that focus on different topics related to NXT such as Bluetooth, Debugging, etc.
- Jan 18, 2007, 4:48:00 AM
That's great. Will get both.

State Authorization refers to the regulation of both (1) distance education courses and programs offered to residents of a particular state by an institution based in another state, and (2) various non-distance activities within a particular state by institutions outside of that state.
For approval of distance education programs in New York State, click here.
Distance education is defined as a system and a process that connects learners with providers via distributed learning resources. While distance learning takes a wide variety of forms, all distance learning is characterized by: a separation of place and/or time between instructor and learner, among learners, and/or between learners and learning resources. If your school offers courses or programs in the form of distance education to students who do not reside within New York State while completing their studies, the information that follows will apply to you.
In addition, if your school or program has activity in the following catagories: non-classroom experiences, marketing and/or advertising, or proctoring, State Authorization may also apply to you.
Each of the categories below, depending on the nature or level of activity, constitute what a state might consider a physical presence within its borders by an out-of-state institution, whether or not related to a distance education program, and thus will necessitate state authorization.
Each individual state has created its own set of standards and guidelines with respect to educational activities within its borders by out-of-state institutions.
If your school or program meets or plans activities with respect to distance education courses or programs or non-distance program offerings which will meet any of the following catagories as defined below, please contact Brianna Bates, Assistant Director in the Office of Academic Program Review at email@example.com or (212) 998-2388.
Specific states have classified "on the ground" educational activities, even when part of a distance education course or program, as constituting a physical presence and need for authorization within their state. If a student is completing any non-classroom credit bearing component or general requirement for any program outside of New York State, authorization within the specific state may be required prior to completion of the educational activity. This includes: internships, externships, clinicals, practicums, student teaching and medical clerkships.
Please click here to access a current chart summary of the non-classroom experience restrictions for NYU.
For NYU programs that are 100% distance education, student enrollments are restricted in the following states:
Please include a disclaimer on your website that conveys this information. A sample statement could be "students from x, y and z states are restricted from enrollment at this time."
Currently, 13 states have regulations that require educational institutions to secure state authorization prior to offering Continuing Education Credits (CEU) via distance education to residents of their state. NYU has already secured approval in five of these states. Eight remain, from which enrollments should be restricted until further notice:
A common question is whether or not a program can offer a student access to the CEU, but not grant credits to them if they are from a restricted state and still remain in compliance. Unfortunately, even without offering CEU's, individuals in the restricted states won't be able to access the materials. The State Authorization issue has grown out of a consumer protection focus. Even without CEU's being granted, just delivering distance education to students in the respective states in exchange for payment could trigger a state to notify the University of non-compliant activity. Restricting enrollments is best practice to protect the University from liabilities and potential fines for non-compliance. It is essential that (for now) individuals residing in these states simply be restricted from enrolling.
*Distance learning students from Texas may enroll if schools post a conspicuous notice on the home page of their websites with the following information:
States have defined marketing and/or advertising within their borders as constituting a physical presence and need for authorization prior to an out-of-state institution being allowed to advertise by local and/or national means. This includes but is not limited to: having recruiting agents or sales representatives active within the state, print advertising, radio advertising, television advertising. Currently, NYU restricts marketing and/or advertising activity in the states listed below.
|Distance Education Specific
|Local National
|Local National
|Massachusetts Massachusetts
|New Mexico
|South Carolina
|West Virginia
Specific states have deemed activity related to the proctoring of exams or assignments within their state to constitute a physical presence in that state. Currently, NYU restricts proctoring activity in the states listed below.
|Delaware (only restricted in classroom setting)
|New Hampshire
|Rhode Island
|West Virginia
Specific states have seemed the hiring of their residents as faculty for distance education program offerings by a non-local academic institution to constitute a physical presence in that state. Currently, NYU restricts faculty serving this purpose that reside in the states listed below.
|Employing full-time and/or adjunct faculty in the state to provide instruction via distance education programs to students in the state
|Employing full-time and/or adjunct faculty in the state to provide instruction via distance education programs to students outside of the state
|Employing full-time and/or adjunct faculty in the state to provide instruction via distance education programs to students both inside and outside of the state
|District of Columbia
|North Dakota
|Puerto Rico
|Rhode Island
In addition to the items listed above, the following are often defined by a state as constituting a physical presence within its borders and therefore requiring authorization. If a school or program has any of the following, please notify our office so that we can plan accordingly for compliance:

Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, is often referred to as degenerative joint disease. Research has shown that genetics may play a vital role in the development of this form of arthritis. In fact, at least one study has demonstrated that genetic factors significantly contribute to arthritis of the hip in female patients.
A 2005 study reported in Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research found that genetics appears to influence the development of osteoarthritis as well. That study, involving 49 families with at least one sibling presenting with osteoarthritis, found that the other offspring were three and a half times more likely to develop osteoarthritis than people who did not have a family history of the disease.
In a study cited by the American College of Rheumatology, which evaluated the role of genetics in osteoarthritis of the hand, investigators found that sisters of women diagnosed with the disease were twice as likely to develop osteoarthritis as the general public. Study findings were even more sobering when siblings had advanced disease. Then, the risk for the remaining siblings to develop osteoarthritis was five to seven times greater.
In recent studies, rheumatoid arthritis, an often crippling, inflammatory form of osteoarthritis, has been shown to have both genetic and environmental origins. The immune system gene identified as HLA-DR4, which increases susceptibility to the disease, is found in 60 to 70 percent of rheumatoid arthritis patients of European ancestry compared with only 30 percent of patients in the general population. Studies of twins are helpful in aiding scientists to determine the degree of inheritance of rheumatoid arthritis. However, while some twin studies have been more conclusive in indicating heredity may be the determining factor in participants developing rheumatoid arthritis, others have posed a strong case for environmental factors playing a vital role. Additional investigation is needed to determine the definitive cause of this type of arthritis.
While arthritis is a complex disease that has no single cause, genetics appears to be one factor that contributes significantly to its onset. However, a variety of other factors, including gender, also appear to play a role.While 60 percent of all people who develop arthritis are women, gout, characterized by swelling and pain in a joint (particularly at the big toe), is a form of the disease more commonly found in men. Age, lifestyle and environmental factors also are critical in the development of arthritis.
Clearly, information gleaned from studying the genetic links between family members suffering with arthritis is giving scientists and physicians alike an edge in treating patients currently suffering with the disease and those who may develop it in the future. This knowledge may be a road map to new treatment regimens and strategies that will help reduce pain in patients and potentially prevent or delay the condition's onset.

By Claire Walla
This year, art teacher Meg Mandell pushed the limits of what her students could achieve in the Pierson Middle School art room. She took on a project that bridged artistic endeavor with social justice — and had real-world significance.
It started with an umbrella.
Mandell and 44 of her sixth grade students participated for the first time this year in a national movement called "The Umbrella Project."
Started in 1990 by a woman in Washington D.C. named Hilda Brown, the project disperses white umbrellas to participants across the country who are then asked to decorate the silk panels. Each year, Brown chooses a new theme. This year's happened to be "I Have A Dream."
In August, the umbrellas will be part of an art show in Sedona, Ariz., where they will be sold for $50. All proceeds will be donated to the Children's Defense Fund in Washington D.C.
To prepare for the project, Mandell showed her students footage of Dr. Martin Luther King's speech at the Lincoln Memorial, then asked them to jot down some ideas for how they might be able to translate those concepts into visuals.
"My idea was to have people holding hands on an umbrella that said 'love' all around it," said sixth grader Aryanna Lyons. She worked together with five other students to turn this concept into an actual design.
"Everyone had really great ideas," Lyons continued. "It was really fun."
Students ended up creating a variety of images, from umbrellas with individually designed panels incorporating words like "faith," "hope" and "love," as well as smiley faces, butterflies and rays of sun, to a more conceptual design featuring two birds, each draped across one half of the silk canopy.
"The kids really surprised me, they really rose to the occasion," Mandell said. "I was impressed with how seriously they took it…. They knew other people were going to see their designs and they wanted to be proud."
Mandell initially broke all students up into groups of five or six, and each group was assigned one umbrella. (In total, Mandell sent away for eight.)
"I labeled the roles for the students," Mandell explained, saying some students colored and some drew designs, while others kept everyone on task, or became the team "go getter." The only role Mandell hand-chose were the leaders, but other than that she said the students themselves naturally fell into comfortable positions on each team.
"It as amazing to see the different levels of skill [the kids exhibited]," she continued. "They all found a niche."
The class also included several special education students.
"Every student had their hands in the project," she added. "I really saw the best in the kids. They helped each other and were encouraging to one another."
Mandell herself first heard about The Umbrella Project through her sister, Kerin Crowley, who teaches art in the Sachem School District. She said that after several years of administering the program, her students have come up with some impressive designs.
Mandell added that she's excited to build upon what her students achieved this year, perhaps even turn it into a fundraiser for the school. (While The Umbrella Project asks for $50 per umbrella, schools and organizations are encouraged to sell the pieces of art for more money and then donate all profits.)
"Every year it's going to get better," Mandell added. "I will definitely be doing it again."

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. Welcome to GamesBeat's list of notable releases for 2013. With both Microsoft and Sony (at least) set to unveil the next generation of gaming hardware in time for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), who knows what we'll be playing by the end of the year. For now, the GamesBeat editors and writers pooled together their thoughts on known and notable releases of 2013 as well as our predictions on whether they'll be worth a damn. Not all games are notable simply because they're expected to be good, however, and we're not pulling any punches with our opinions just because a game's not out yet. The way we see it, you can speak up early, or you can complain after spending $60. Check back soon for a separate feature for all the big massively multiplayer online titles coming out this year. Gallery: GalleryAbove: Why you should care: Ubisoft's latest original intellectual property is a mysterious cyberpunk action game. What we think: First, we applaud Watch Dogs for even existing in this sequel-happy industry. But the highly scripted demo shown at last year's E3 suggests a technology thriller/shooter truly worth being excited about. Not enough has been shown yet to say one way or the other, but at least the potential is there. --Sebastian HaleyImage Credit: Ubisoft What games of 2013 are you looking forward to (or worried about)?

Handsome, unflappable U.S. Congressman Stephen Collins is the future of his political party--an honorable appointee who serves as the chairman of a committee overseeing defense spending. All eyes are upon the rising star to be his party's contender for the upcoming presidential race. Until his research assistant/mistress is brutally murdered and buried secrets come tumbling out. D.C. reporter Cal McCaffrey has the dubious fortune of both an old friendship with Collins and a ruthless editor, Cameron, who has assigned him to investigate the murder. As he and partner Della try to uncover the killer's identity, McCaffrey steps into a cover-up that threatens to shake the nation's power structures. And, in a town of spin-doctors and wealthy politicos, he will discover one truth: when billions are at stake, no one's integrity, love or life is ever safe.

iCE280 System Overview
The iCE280 System performs free solution IEF in a capillary column (cIEF) and detects focused protein zones using a whole column UV absorption detector that avoids disturbing these focused zones. This technology is unique in that it has the comparable resolution of traditional gel IEF but incorporates the advantages of a column based separation technology, including quantitation and automation.
It is superior to conventional cIEF performed with single point detection systems, which require a lengthy mobilization phase. As a result, method development and sample analysis can be run on the iCE280 in a fraction of the time required by other technologies and our resolution and reproducibility are superior.
The iCE280, with whole-column detection, completely eliminates the need for a mobilization phase. This results in a unique combination of speed, resolution and reproducibility.

No reason why they can't have a powerful console and have fun games, Nintendo has always had a problem getting third parties onto their system ever since the Gamecube.
Nintendo have the right ideas; make games fun to play.
People buy Nintendo to play 1st party games, Marios, Zeldas, etc.. the problem is they are few and far between and lately have just been rehashes of old games.
New Super Mario Bros for example.....

No Import Duties
Because of the Free Trade Agreement between the US and Canada, you are able to order up to $2,500 CAD without incurring any import duties. However, your package may be subject to additional taxes and fees (most commonly GST [Goods & Services Tax] and processing fees) that will be charged either at the time of checkout or upon delivery of your package depending on the shipping service you select. Please refer to the shipping options for additional details.
Please also note that Canada sometimes prohibits the importation of more than a 90 days' supply of some dietary supplements (according to Natural Health Product Regulations) in a single order, and you may see that reflected as a restriction in your cart.
Restricted Items
Due to Canada's import regulations, some products may not be available for purchase. If a product is restricted to Canada, this will be noted in the cart along with instructions to remove that product before you'll be able to complete your purchase. Please note that Canada sometimes prohibits the importation of more than a 90 days' supply of some dietary supplements (Canadian Natural Health Products) in a single order. Any order that does not follow the proper regulatory guidelines will not be eligible for a refund or replacement. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
While the Vitacost team works hard to prevent products from shipping to countries where ingredients are problematic or prohibited, we cannot guarantee that our restriction information is always up to date. As these regulations change constantly, we strongly recommend that you check with your local authorities for information on regulations that may affect your ability to receive your order.
Unfortunately, we cannot issue a refund of any kind for orders seized or destroyed by Customs unless the order is returned back to our warehouse in an undamaged and resalable condition. Refunds issued will be for the cost of the merchandise only; shipping costs will not be reimbursed.
In addition to prohibited items, we are unable to ship free samples and all products requiring cold packs internationally.
We welcome your feedback.

Super convenient. Nicely made. I'd give it a "5" but high price makes it a "3". A luxury purchase.

These bags are very well made and keep your gear clean. Easy to take out for work or trip and helps with packing. These keep my gear from rattling around and being annoying on off-road rides.

Fireworks like you've never seen before!
I love a good fireworks show. Sitting back on a warm night and watching the sky fill with bursts of color is one of the highlights of summer. I've long thought that it would be really neat to see a fireworks display through the window of an airplane, but this guy took fireworks viewing to a whole new level!

5x optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens (26mm-130mm) capture your world near and far.
Record HD (720p) Movies at the touch of a button.
Large, bright 3.0-inch LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating.
Choose various Color options such as standard, vivid or cyanotype. Add a touch of creativity to your next photo or movie project.
Easy to use Scene modes, automatically optimize camera settings for best results.
Smart Portrait System automatically creates beautiful portraits.
Best Shot Selector will capture up to 10 shots and save the best shot.
Electronic VR Image Stabilization system minimizes the effect of camera shake for sharp, clear images.
For Action shooting, Sports Continuous scene mode captures up to 3 shots.
Operates on two AA batteries for added convenience.
The Ikelite ULTRAcompact digital housing really delivers when performance and durability matter. The ULTRAcompact housing is high quality, built to last and backed by Ikelite's long-standing reputation for excellence.
All camera controls are fully functional through the housing and depth rated to 200 ft. (60m). Easy open latch and drop in camera loading make set-up a breeze.
Two 12-24 threaded mounts on the bottom of the housing allow for the secure, rotation-free attachment of optional trays and lighting accessories.
Trays with Release Handles:
Optional Tray with Release Handle(s) provide comfortable handling underwater and attachment points for substrobes and accessories.
Camera's Built-in Flash:
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results an external underwater strobe is recommended.
External Color Filters:
Color filters replace some of the reds, oranges and more natural tones that would otherwise be lost underwater. Effective in relatively shallow, sunny conditions. Available as #6441.41 for tropical blue water and #6441.81 for use in green water settings. For optimum results use in combination with manual white balance (see camera user guide for information on setting custom white balance).
External Underwater Strobes:
Ikelite strobes are much more powerful, recycle more quickly, and eliminate more backscatter than the camera's built-in flash. Don't settle for flat, blue-green images. Use the AutoFlash AF35 for easy automatic exposure. Or add an optional DS Substrobe with EV Manual Controller for more power and wider angle of coverage. For the best results in all conditions.
Pro-V8 LED Video Lite:
For additional lighting when using the camera's movie mode and to aid in focus. For use with or without a color filter.
External Accessory Lenses:
An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage so you can get much closer to your subject while still fitting everything in the frame. By reducing the amount of water between the subject and your camera lens, the resulting image will be more crisp and colorful.
Attach 67mm threaded #6420 Ikelite W-20 and other lenses directly to the front of the port. This housing is not compatible with bayonet-style accessory lenses.
Slight to moderate vignetting (shading in the corners) will be present in the widest setting when using an external accessory lens. This effect can be eliminated by zooming in slightly.
Travel Bag:
The #3910 Compact Travel Bag is the perfect carry-on for this digital system. Padded sides and divider provide just the right amount of protection for your photo equipment, laptop, electronic devices and personal items. Ample zippered and non-zippered pockets keep all of the essentials right at your fingertips.

I've put it on here instead of a video section as Lorenzo discusses quite a few important topics, including GSP's future and such (8 minute mark). He also talks about the NSAC at the 11:30 mark. He articulates both situations so well, and so much better than Dana [unsurprisingly] even after Dana tried reclarifying it days later. I still don't get why Lorenzo is not the public figure instead of Dana who goofs up way too much.
Quick two points he made regarding GSP and NSAC:
- He said GSP doesn't owe the UFC anything and he can retire if wants to. What he feels that GSP owes is a clarification on what he will decide to do, i.e., retire or not, as this has consequences on putting the division in limbo.
- He said the NSAC is still the gold standard and doesn't feel it was a huge controversial decision as some think. He scored it for Johny but knows that the first round was razor thin (thank you Lorenzo!).
*For some reason, it's not embedding properly.

I must confess that, as someone who has been following the series right from the start, it's a bit difficult for me remember what that experience of reading Discworld for the first time is like.
So - a few questions for new readers:
1. How did you come to read your first Discworld book?
2. What was your first Discworld book?
3. Will you read more?
4. Which one do you intend to read next?
5. If you didn't start with Colour of Magic, how easily did you find it to get into Discworld? Did you feel that some background knowledge was necessary?

You'd have to compile it from scratch .
I'm building it outside the arch build system though using the same commands so in theory I could get away with building it into an arch package.
Posted 17 December 2012 - 19:19
I read a few posts on mozilla's site earlier about someone saying they didn't want it and the usual mozilla people saying 'blah blah its opt in it isnt active unless you activate it', so?
So what's the big deal? You don't have to use it. That Facebook thing is an opt-in thing.
As long as I don't have to compile it myself(as I'm too lazy this morning), I will test it out under Fedora, Ubuntu and Windows.
Yes you would have to compile it!
So with the files would I just cd to that dir, sudo make, make install, cleanup or what?

I can upload the files compiled in arch but not sure if they'd work. I don't know how/if you can compile firefox for windows on linux, will have a look into it later.
In terms of the files, I'm gonna make a diff patch so you'd download the source from mozilla's site, cd to it, run: patch -p1 < ../firefox.patch then make and it'd (hopefully) build

Smith captivates and engages all who hear him – from CEOs to high school students.
"He's a real hometown hero," said Dixie Madden, founding director of the Garvey Institute of Law, "willing to share his insights about markets for the greater good at his former university."
The former Wichitan, who has authored or co-authored more than 250 articles and books on capital theory, finance, natural resource economics and experimental economics, grew up not far outside the shadow of the Friends University clock tower. He attended Friends University during his freshman year, which he says "was crucial in teaching me how to learn and in launching me into the world of ideas." Smith credits Friends University for providing the academic catalyst needed to overcome his "dismal high school academic record," enabling him to pass the entrance exam at the prestigious and rigorous Caltech.
"My attitude at Friends University was 180 degrees opposite to my approach in high school," Smith said. "Friends made up for my high school failure to learn and prepared me not only for Caltech, but for life."
He went on to receive his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Caltech, his master's from the University of Kansas, and his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard. He is presently a professor of economics and law at George Mason University and for the past three summers has served as the Visiting Rasmuson Chair in Economics at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, focusing on natural resource issues and experimental economics.
James "Jim" Crow graduated from Friends University in 1937, receiving his undergraduate in Biology. He did his graduate work at the University of Texas where he received his Ph.D. Jim has also received honorary doctorates from the Universities of Chicago and Edinburgh. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and American Philosophical Society. He is also an honorary member of the Japan Academy and the Royal Society of London. Jim taught at Dartmouth College for seven years, and at the University of Wisconsin from 1948 to 1986, serving as a professor of genetics. Although he is retired from teaching, he continues to give occasional lectures at the University of Wisconsin and elsewhere.
"I still go through the motions of academic life, putting in almost as many hours, but getting less done each year," Jim said. "Much of my activity is writing now; mostly historical rather than based on current research, which has almost dwindled into nonexistence."
Jim has one son and two daughters, who were all born in the 1940s, as well as "the usual assortment of grandchildren." His father, H.E. Crow, was a biology professor at Friends University for many years and was also a Friends University alumnus. His brother, Ernest Crow, graduated from Friends University as well.
Jim's main hobby is music. He played the viola while attending Friends University and for the Madison Symphony for more than 40 years. "I still play for my own amusement," Jim said, "although not much for public consumption."
Jim's fondest memories of Friends University include putting on a show to raise money for the taxidermy work on a lion for the Fellow-Reeve Museum. "I also have a pleasant nostalgia for the annual trips with the Singing Quakers," Jim said. "I enjoyed the Mikado and the Gondoliers and still do."
Some other memories for Jim involve the courses he took at Friends University. "The physics course with Dr. Weber stands out," Jim said. "I almost became a physicist."
CAROLYN McGINN
Carolyn McGinn is a graduate of Valley Center public schools. She received a business degree from Wichita State University and a master's in environmental studies from Friends University.
Carolyn has lived in the 31st District her entire life. Over the years, she has been involved with her family farm, the local Sedgwick school district, and many community groups and initiatives.
In 1998, Carolyn was elected to the Sedgwick County Commission. During her six years on the commission, she spent most of her time trying to balance rural and urban interests while also trying to balance tight budgets with limited resources on an unlimited amount of public needs.
In 2004, Carolyn was elected to the Kansas Senate. She serves on several committees – including Ways and Means, Education, and the Joint Committee on Kansas Security – and serves as chair of the Natural Resources Committee.
She has recently been appointed to the State Early Childhood Development Committee, National Conference for Nuclear Waste Repository and the newly formed Joint Energy Policy Committee.

A Wichita native, state Senator Donald Betts is a young man who overcame early obstacles to become a leader in the Kansas legislature. When he was a child, Donald, his mother and his brother were homeless several times until they moved to Las Vegas, where his grandfather offered them a place to stay. During junior high and high school, Donald lived in the Vegas projects, which were filled with violence, drugs and prostitution. He attended school and worked in casino arcades to support his family. He saw his school friends succumb to drugs and crime. His brother eventually spent time in prison. After Donald graduated from high school, he returned to Wichita where he worked his way through college at Friends University and was elected student body president. Upon graduation, he became a counselor for at-risk juveniles working in both the juvenile justice and Wichita public school systems. He has served his state legislative districts in both the Kansas House and Senate.
Donald is a member of St. Mark United Methodist church in Wichita. He is a Wichita alumnus of Kappa Alpha Psi. He has also been honored as a Fellow at the Bowhay Institute for Legislative Leadership Development and the Kansas Health Foundation, as well as for his achievements with the American Council of Young Political Leaders, Leadership Kansas. In 2007, he was chosen as one of the Wichita Business Journal's "40 Under 40," and as the Progressive State Network Legislator of the Year. In 2008, he was the recipient of the Val Wall Circle of Friends Arc Inner Circle Award.

Richard Wayne Mullins (Oct. 21, 1955 – Sept. 19, 1997) was an American Christian music singer and songwriter born in Richmond, Ind.
Mullins is best known for his worship songs "Step by Step" (later incorporated into his hit single "Sometimes by Step") and "Awesome God," both of which have been embraced as modern classics by many Christians. Some of his albums are also considered among Christian music's best, including Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth (1988); The World As Best As I Remember It, Volume One (1991); and A Liturgy, A Legacy, & a Ragamuffin Band (1993). His music has been covered by many artists, including Caedmon's Call, Five Iron Frenzy, Amy Grant, Jars of Clay, Michael W. Smith, John Tesh and Third Day.
In 1988, Mullins moved to Wichita, Kan., where, in 1991, he enrolled as a student at Friends University and lived with his best friend. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Education on May 14, 1995. After graduation, he and a friend moved to a Navajo reservation in Tse Bonito, N.M., to teach music to children.
He died in an automobile accident in September 1997.
