We have a small Persian rug business & carry these rug pads for our customers. We also use them for all of the rugs in our home. They allow for a little air flow, won't damage floors--absolutely no marking on wood floors, keep even small rugs from slipping, & provide a bit of padding. We don't recommend thick rug pads--when you put a heavy narrow table or bed leg on a rug with a thick pad, the pad compresses easily & leaves a dent in the rug itself that is difficult, if not impossible, to remove. Most rugs don't need any extra padding, & the Ultra Non-slip Rug Pads are the best we've found. The Overstock.com price is fantastic!! It's important that the pad be cut a bit smaller than the actual size of the rug--at least 1-2" less on each side.
This rug pad was perfect - not too bulky, but stops the rug from sliding around on my hardwoods and adds a little bit of cushion. It was also slightly larger than the actual measurements, so when I cut off the edges, I had more padding I used for the legs of my armchair.
Since the rug I bought was so thickly woven I decided to purchase this thinner rug pad for it instead of the thicker ones. I am glad I did. This pad holds the rug in place perfectly and was easy to cut to fit my new rug. I have purchased several rugs and pads from Overstock and am planning on purchasing more. Overstock is the best.
I've used this type of rug pad for smaller rugs and thought I could save some money by using it for an 8x10 rug I purchased from Overstock. It was a big mistake. Even after enlisting help from others, there was no way I could successfully position the rug without scrunching up this flimsy pad. Then it stretched out of shape. Then I tried to cut the edges. It was still not smooth. I ended up buying another pad from Overstock so I didn't save any money at all and, in fact, spent more than I would have had I just gotten the better "felt" like pad to start with. Learned a lesson that these kinds of pads aren't good for larger rugs. Maybe I'll use it in the future by cutting it up for smaller throw rugs around the house. Or, maybe it was just a total loss.
We needed something to put under the rug. Rather than a felt pad, having this synthetic, poly something works just fine. It's light, skid-resistant, and has a slight cushion feel to it. What more could you ask for?
Rug pad was necessary for a Safavieh rug that I bought for my dining room. It helps just to order it all at once and be done!
Great value...does the job. Quick shipping and great rug pad!
Pad is just what you would expect for this style of rug pad. Size was just as advertised. Great value for the money! Very fast shipping.
if you def need a rug pad it is fine. its hard to say if this thing is great or not since it goes under my rug but it works.
It is a quality non slip rug pad. Not bad for the price. Made of a quality fabric.It is pretty heavy or I should say heavier than most pads I have seen.

Soft Structured Carriers
Beco Butterfly II Carrier
" This is the prettiest carrier, and fit my shoulders and figure (at 5'6") much better than the Ergo. I got it when my daughter was about nine months, two years ago - it doesn't appear to have changed much since then. Whenever she fell asleep, her head would hang straight back and swing around - zero support! The Ergo sleep hood blows this feature out of the water, and unfortunately it was a..." --capucine

Baby Bjorn Air Carrier
" It took my son a couple of weeks to adjust to this carrier and he eventually liked being in it. I found it very helpful at first; the hands-free capability. However, as my son grew and gained weight, carrying him in the Air hurt my back. I just thought it was me, but the carrier really had minimal back support. My husband really wanted one of these since he saw his brother had one, so I..." --Romina

A photo I had taken on the iPhone on the 6th June has recently been deleted (by someone other than myself). I would like to recover this photo by attempting to restore from a backup.
As far as I understand, iTunes periodically takes backups of the iPhone as it is synced with my computer. I know that if I restore the phone it will give me the option to restore from last backup, but I believe I will need to restore from an OLDER backup in order to regain this photo (as it may have been deleted several days ago).
Any suggestions? Is this possible?

CSU Doctoral Incentive Program 2015/2016
Established in 1987, the CSU CDIP is the largest program of its kind in the United States. As of June 2013 the program has loaned $46 million to 2,003 doctoral students enrolled in universities throughout the nation, and 1,189 of these participants have successfully earned doctoral degrees. Among participants who have earned their doctoral degrees, 646 (56 percent) have subsequently obtained employment in CSU instructional faculty positions.
This program provides student loans to a limited number of individuals pursuing full-time doctoral degrees at accredited universities throughout the United States. After participants receive their doctoral degrees and obtain a qualifying instructional position in the CSU, a portion of their loan from this program will be forgiven every year.

Worldwide, under-5 mortality has declined from more than 12 million deaths in 1990 to 7.6 million in 2010—yet thousands of children still die every day from preventable diseases. This week, the Child Survival Call to Action was held: a meeting to mobilize the world toward one ambitious but simple goal—ending preventable child deaths. The meeting asked governments and partners to sign 'A Promise Renewed', a pledge to work toward greater child survival.
WASHINGTON D.C. (June 15, 2012) — United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged international leaders gathered at Georgetown University to commit more resources and effort to reduce the numbers of deaths of children.
"We are all here today with one vision—to make sure every child everywhere reaches his or her fifth birthday; to eliminate preventable child deaths in a generation. Now, not everyone agrees that goals like this are achievable or that we should set our sights so high, but I believe in setting goals and I believe we have good reasons for optimism. We already have many of the tools and much of the knowledge we need," she said.
Child Survival Call to Action has convened 700 leaders and experts from the public and private sectors, along with faith-based communities, to map out ways to significantly reduce the numbers of children who die before their fifth birthday. The conference is co-convened by Ethiopia, India and the United States, in close collaboration with UNICEF.
In the last 40 years, thanks to new vaccines and improved health care practices, child deaths have been reduced by more than 50%.
Yet millions of children still die every year from preventable causes, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Child Survival Call to Action challenges the world to make specific plans to reduce child mortality to below 20 child deaths per 1,000 live births in every country by 2035.
Indian Minister of Health and Family Welfare Ghulam Nabi Azad reported steady progress in reducing child mortality—in 2012, India's child mortality rate almost equals the global average, despite being considerably higher in 1990. And he said India is particularly proud of its record in tackling polio.
"In 2010, we made special efforts to reach 800 million children using the innovative bivalent vaccine developed in India and achieved more than 99% coverage, including very difficult-to-reach endemic areas," he said.
India has been polio-free for 17 months.
Ethiopia's Minister of Health Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that Ethiopia, which is striving to become a middle-income country, is seeing success with community health programs that in the last decade have halved the under-five mortality rates from 166 to 88 for every 1,000 live births, according to data from the country's 2011 Demographic and Health Survey. Ethiopia aims to reduce that to fewer than 20 deaths by 2035.
"We will then be able to look back and say that we have done justice for our children, and we have written an important piece in human history," Mr. Ghebreyesus said.
During the summit, governments, along with private and religious partners, are being asked to pledge their support for A Promise Renewed, a commitment to work on national plans for child survival, monitoring their results and focusing greater attention on the most vulnerable countries and communities. The government version of the pledge, announced by UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake, was signed today by Mr. Ghebreyesus, Mr. Nabi Azad and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.
"We have the tools, the treatments, and the technology to save millions of lives every year, and there is no excuse not to use them," said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake. "To renew our promise to the world's children, we have to focus on the leading causes of child mortality like diarrhea, pneumonia and malaria, scaling up coverage of high-impact, low-cost treatments, sparking greater innovation, and spurring greater political will to reach the hardest-to-reach children. The grand goal of preventing child deaths must be our common cause."
Actor and Founder of the Eastern Congo Initiative Ben Affleck said that in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, one of the world's poorest nations, a targeted plan to reach the most vulnerable would bring big gains for child survival.
"The potential for change in the Congo is abundant. Ninety percent of Congo's arable land is uncultivated. Once the breadbasket of Africa, its untapped resources could transform the lives of millions of children. The potential in Congo is clear," he said.
The U.S. government was also represented at the summit by Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, who said that President Barack Obama considers child health a moral and strategic issue.
"This includes, obviously, preventing child deaths. Doing so aligns with our values, promotes economic growth and promotes stability," he said.
In a panel on the role of the private sector in increasing child survival, Merck Senior Vice President Geralyn Ritter announced a $200 million public-private partnership to reduce maternal mortality, starting in Uganda and Rwanda.
Secretary General of the World Conference of Religions for Peace William Vendley introduced a global initiative that promotes ten practices supported by religious organizations. They include breastfeeding, immunization, and elimination of harmful traditions. Mr. Vendley said the campaign aims to reach 250 million believers worldwide, and already 202 religious leaders and 60 faith-based organizations have committed to support it.

This is the second time I'm purchasing this. I really love the consistency and it's very easy to apply. It gives a brightness to the brow area without using a shadow. Like an instant eye lift.
I love this product. I use the matte side under my brow bone and the shimmer on the inner corner of my eye when I need a pick me up. Plus the product has lasted me for quite some time even though I use it every day. I feel like my look isn't completed until I put this on!
I use this all the time, as a highlighter too. It goes on smooth and is not greasy/oily. The colors are great too.
I love this brow pencil. I went with the lace/shell color scheme. I have blue eyes and only wear nudes/browns/golds on my eyes. The shell is more of a matte color while the lace is a beautiful gold that adds a tough of shimmer. The combination brightens my eyes and highlights my brow arch. This pencil is especially great on the go. I'm able to literally draw on my eyes, blend with my fingertips and that's it.
I love that I can put this on my eyes as I get up and go first thing in the morning and nothing else. I wish it would last longer.
I am an eyebrow fanatic and I always look for new products to use. Anastasia has definitely become my favorite. I use the Matte Camille underneath my eyebrows for an instant pop, as well as using it in the corner of my eyes for a glow. Anastasia products are the best for eyebrows.
Love this product for well-lit brow bones and inner corners of the eye. Works, actually, for almost any highlighting and you will own the product for a long time (meaning it takes just a little to get a lot of effect). I have never used the matte side since it doesn't seem to match my skin tone quite right and I prefer the slight shimmer to the shimmery side.
I ordered this, as I wanted a lighter brow/eye highlighter for a while, but I didn't really dig this one because it wasn't light enough to really show on my skin. I'm pretty pale, so maybe that's why. I ended up getting a white eye pencil that was more what I wanted. Overall though, it went on smoothly and blended well, so it might be for you.
I've been using Camille for years. It is a wonderful under eye concealer, eye shadow, eye liner, brow-lifter... Wonderful for sensitive eyes.
I have a smaller eye area, and its impossible to put this on exactly where i want it under my brows because the tip gets so chunky. I also had to buy a whole new pencil sharpener for this because it didn't fit into my already large sharpener.

from Baltimore, MD
About Me Accomplishment, Dept Manager, Education Industry, Healthcare Industry, HR Manager, Promotion, Purchasing Agent, Sales
Comments about Baudville Shining Star Trophy - Wood Base with Gold Star:
A simple, easy way to honor an individual for their accomplishment. Well received by recipient who was thrilled to be recognized in a positive way. Quick order and engraving with Baudville adds to the individualization. One can always count on Baudville for ways to honor friends or employees on their accomplishments. Many companies seem to overlook this positive gesture these days which only serves to motivate further.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have successfully used Blacksn0w to jailbreak a fresh 3.1.2 install and subsequently added an unsigned tether profile for 02 UK payandgo to allow tethering
I have recently installed iTunes 9.0.3 and the tethering has now stopped. All of the original menu options are there it just won't tether.
I know the carrier profile was correct for my carrier as it worked prior to the ITunes update.
Does 9.0.3 kill tethering if so, do I have to re-intall 3.1.2 and re-jailbreak to get tethering back?

Serves sixteen.
Check out Carole's article for more information on superfine sugar.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F (325°F if using a dark nonstick pan). Generously butter a 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom.
Make the topping: In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until almost melted. Remove from the heat and cool to tepid. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, pecans, both sugars, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and stir with a fork. Add the flour mixture to the butter and stir until evenly moistened and crumbly.
Make the filling: In a food processor, pulse the pecans, both sugars, cinnamon, and cocoa 4 to 6 times to combine and chop the pecans.
Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sugar slowly, beating until combined. Scrape the bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time, blending each one completely before adding the next. Scrape the bowl and blend in the vanilla. On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the sour cream, adding the flour in four parts and the sour cream in three parts, beginning and ending with the flour, and scraping the bowl as needed.
Layer and marble the batter and filling: Spoon 2 generous cups of the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth with the back of a soupspoon, spreading the batter to the side of the pan first and then to the center. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the filling evenly over the batter. Cover the filling with about 2 cups of batter, dropping dollops around the pan and smoothing with the spoon. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup filling evenly over the batter and cover with 2 more cups batter. Layer on the remaining filling and then the remaining batter. (You'll have four layers of batter and three layers of filling.) Insert a table knife 1 inch from the side of the pan straight into the batter going almost to the bottom. Run the knife around the pan two times, without lifting up the blade, spacing the circles about 1 inch apart. Smooth the top with the back of the soupspoon.
Top and bake the cake: Take a handful of the streusel crumbs and squeeze firmly to form a large mass. Break up the mass into smaller clumps, distributing the streusel evenly over the batter. Repeat with the remaining streusel. Press the streusel lightly into the surface of the cake. Bake until the top of the cake is golden brown, the sides are beginning to pull away from the pan, and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 70 to 75 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least an hour before removing from the pan. Check out our tips on turning out the cake.
This cake keeps at room temperature, well wrapped or under a cake dome, for up to 5 days; you can freeze it for up to 3 months.

4/4/2012This is a delectable coffee cake. I've made it several times and have never had a problem with the topping. I don't, however, press it into the top as suggested. Maybe this allows it to remain on top.
by suemarty,
3/1/2012Crumbs disappeared into batter - will try again and let cake bake for 15 minutes before adding crumb topping.

6/11/2011This cake is delicious, no question. But every single time I make it (4 times now), the topping disappears under the top of the cake. Any idea how come?

by Edna,
2/8/2009Have made this cake several times. Very good texture to the cake. Not too sweet, great buttery taste.
by tlamo,
2/5/2009This is an extraordinary cake. I used a nonstick pan as this is all I had and the results were perfect. Because I used convection, the oven temperature was lowered 25 degrees automatically.
by eatcake1,
1/11/2009My crumb topping disappeared into the cake.
I will add later in the cooking time if I make it again.

Should Bosses Care How Employees Use Paid Time Off?
It's the employees' problem, not yours.
I have a small business with two employees. One of my employees decided she can add [paid time off] hours to her pay periods when she cannot do 80 hours (which is often). As an example, she worked 76 hours last period then decided to slap four extra PTO hours on top of that to make 80, so her paycheck registers 80 hours.
There are no clear rules in our handbook on that specific issue, except that PTO use should be requested in advance. Based on that rule alone, I believe I can argue that what she is doing violates the handbook. My wife, who co-manages the small business, thinks we should get our facts straight before discussing it with the employee in question. To make matters worse, she has suggested to her only co-employee to do the same, and now they are both doing it.
[See the best careers for 2010.]
In answering this question I am assuming that both of your employees are non-exempt. An exempt employee would be a whole other ball of wax, so non-exempt it is.
Why do companies offer paid time off? For one reason, it's hard to get people to come work for you if you don't offer some vacation time. Another reason is that you want your employees to get a break at some point, so they don't get overwhelmed and exhausted.
My question for you is, is this practice going to cause a problem in your business in the future? Are these employees going to use up all their PTO, so they cannot take a family vacation, or care for their kids when they get sick? Because that is a problem.
[See how to stop the office bully.]
But, I would say it's the employees' problem--not yours.
The way I see it, if we assume they get 15 days of PTO, that's 120 hours per year. If they are using 4 hours of PTO each week, it will only last 30 weeks, and then what will they do? For you, it's a winning situation--your employees are never out of the office, and midway through the year they are out of PTO. So, there will be no trips to Disney World, and they better hope their little sisters don't get married, because they sure as heck aren't going to the wedding. You've got people who are committed to being to work every day of the year. Yeah for you!
But, it's not so good for the employee. I'm guessing that they aren't seeing the big picture. What they see as a great way to ensure an 80-hour paycheck is also going to kill their vacation time. I would sit down with both of them and explain: "You've been using your PTO in order to have an 80-hour paycheck. That's fine, if you wish to continue doing that, but I just want you to be sure that's what you want to do. If you continue like this, you'll be out of PTO by July and you won't have any time off for the rest of the year. You may want to reconsider."
They will probably complain that when they were hired they were promised 40 hours a week and now they are not getting it. They probably feel entitled to 80 hours of pay. This is also a discussion you need to have. If the business can only provide 38 hours of work per week, then you need to be clear about it. If the business can provide the 40 hours of work per week and they are choosing to leave early or come in late, they need to be aware of the consequences.
Have a frank and honest discussion about the actual consequences of using PTO in that manner. But, I wouldn't stop them from doing it if they please. Just be prepared for the meltdown in December when they want to go visit family for Christmas, but don't have adequate PTO available.

FOR ME, MOUNTAIN PICKING is usually a 3-3-3 game: 3,000+ acres skiable terrain, 3,000ft vertical, 300+ inches snow/year, give or take.
Truly epic ski trips, on the other hand, I measure by a different count: number of resorts. No matter how close together two areas are, each has its own vibe, its own terrain, its own locals, its own stashes.
Here are some of the best thoroughfares on the continent that weave big mountains into big trips.
1. Wasatch Boulevard, Utah
Ski Areas: Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, Solitude
Road Conditions: http://commuterlink.utah.gov/
Cutting below the 11,000ft peaks that look much larger up close than they do lining Salt Lake City's skyline, Wasatch Boulevard is the ticket to the "Greatest Snow on Earth."
It's exit 6 off I-215, from where it takes you away from the city sprawl and on a relatively forgettable ride through some commercial and residential neighborhoods.
Fortunately, it's not about great scenery. What it's about is that dark, angry cloud hanging over the mountains to the east.
Enjoy the last piece of calm driving you'll have before battling avalanche control closings (there are 35 slide paths on what's commonly called the nation's most avalanche-prone road in Little Cottonwood Canyon); blurry, blizzardy visuals; slick, dirty snow; and ice patches.
If the dump is particularly bad and you don't have a 4WD with snow tires or a two-wheel with chains, stop at one of the park-and-rides along Wasatch and let the UTA bus with automatic tire chains finish the journey for you.
Up until the traffic light for Big Cottonwood Canyon, you don't really need to know where you're going. You can save that decision for the last minute.
Either turn left and wind your way up to the uncrowded, hike-to paradise of Solitude and board-centric Brighton, or roll straight through, eventually hitting the climb up Little Cottonwood Canyon, where Snowbird serves big terrain fast and Alta caters to powder purists.
No matter which you choose, you're looking at 500 inches of annual — 500 of desert-wrung, ultralight blower — so the chance to be a part of the biggest, sickest snowstorm you've ever experienced is always in the air.
Once you commit, it's upward past the flashing yellow road condition sign and onward to your chosen endpoint.
As you climb either canyon, don't be surprised if the snow cover is thin at the beginning; it gets noticeably deeper the farther you drive. Once at the top, you may not be seeing Wasatch Boulevard again for a few days.
When the snow is at its best/worst, authorities close off the Cottonwoods, particularly Little Cottonwood, for hours — even days. And all that's left to do is be thankful you're not trapped on the other side of the gates, because from here it's endless face shots for you and the few lucky bastards around you.
Detour: The 7-11 at the corner of Fort Union Blvd and Wasatch isn't the most gourmet ski morning stop, but it's the go-to for draining the morning pot of Colombian and grabbing a breakfast biscuit.
2. I-70, Colorado
Ski Areas: Loveland, A-Basin, Breckenridge, Copper, Vail, Beaver Creek, and more
Road Conditions: http://www.cotrip.org/home.htm
This Interstate is not only the road to just about every one of Colorado's 26 resorts — it's the gateway to the Rockies in general, where the plains of the American Midwest finally give way to more dynamic topography. And when an Interstate climbs and drops through valleys and passes below 13 and 14,000ft mountains, it's not the typical exhaust-huffing highway experience.
The journey begins outside of Denver, where you're likely driving south from DIA. The shadowy gray and white mountains stand powerful in the distance, and they'll only get larger as you drive west on 70.
Loveland, a resort that peeks out over the Eisenhower Tunnel and sits on the Continental Divide, is the first stop on the tour about 50 miles in. Surprisingly, given its location, it's not a big-draw destination resort like many Colorado ski areas.
That's got nothing to do with its skiing, though; Loveland has a respectable 1,570 acres dropping down 2,210 feet of vert. It's also one of Colorado's highest resorts, hitting its peak just above 13,000 feet, which means 400 inches of snow a year and one of the earliest openings in the country.
Past Loveland, it's on to Summit County. Here, big names like Breckenridge and Keystone sprawl out a few ridges over from more core Coloradoan experiences like A-Basin. All can be accessed either right off the highway or a short drive from the exit ramp.
Colorado ski country continues after Summit, albeit a little less densely. Resorts like Vail and Beaver Creek are right off 70 in Eagle County, and more distant mountains like the lift-in-the-backcountry experience at Silverton and the ever-expanding expert-centric Telluride are connected by state highways farther west.
In fact, not until you're nearly out of the state does I-70 give up its ski highway status. By that time you could have had a lifetime of ski trips.
Detour: Before skiing took over, the Rockies were all about mining. Idaho Springs is a small outpost next to I-70 that reminds you of that. It's a good place to grab a meal and/or supplies before heading into overpriced resort country.
I'll never quite forgive the Tommyknocker brewpub for getting rid of its fried chicken, but the Buffalo Roadhouse Chili and Green Mountain Burger help ease the pain.
3. Icefields Parkway, Alberta
Ski Areas: Mount Norquay, Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, Marmot Basin
Road Conditions: http://www.ama.ab.ca/road_report/Highways.htm (All-season radials or chains required in winter. National park pass required.)
More than a road to a resort parking lot, Trans-Canada Hwy 1 and the branchoff onto the Icefields Parkway (AB-93) is one of the most spectacular roads in the world, any time of year. National Geographic ranked the greater route one of its "Drives of a Lifetime."
The trip from the town of Banff to Jasper is 180 miles of highway, connecting two of Canada's most memorable Rocky Mountain-region national parks of the same names.
Banff is home to smaller, locals-oriented Mount Norquay, one of Canada's oldest ski resorts, and Sunshine Village, a resort that pushes the limit of backcountry-style, within-the-lines terrain in areas like Delirium Dive and Silver City. Sunshine has some of the best snow in Alberta with 360 inches and also one of North America's longest seasons, usually stretching into May.
Again, you're in Canada's most popular national park, so the scenery is big from minute one. Continuing on, the drive takes in dark stretches of evergreens topped by serrated peaks. Most notable among them is Castle Mountain, a 16-kilometer-long hunk of raw rock that looks from many angles like a mountain peak atop a flat-top that cuts straight out of the earth.
After 40 miles is the village of Lake Louise, where you'll find Canada's second largest ski resort. Every lift here services blue, green, and black terrain, making Louise great for family getaways and expert buddy trips alike.
To continue, turn onto AB-93 (the Icefields Parkway) for the rest of the journey. Even if you don't end up skiing, snowshoeing, or getting out for a pit stop, you'll have a camera-full of vacation by the time you reach the village of Jasper.
You're driving into the heart of Rocky Mountain wild country, passing turquoise lakes, through deeply cut valleys, below peaks and glaciers — each of which somehow manages to have its own distinct character within the greater pack — and by the namesake Columbia Icefield, which borders the two parks.
Some specific names to look out for include Peyto Lake, the Crowfoot Glacier, and Mount Athabasca. In addition, moose, elk, wolves, mountain goats, and other wildlife are commonly seen.
Just outside Jasper is Marmot Basin, one of the less-heralded mountains in the region. It's not as big as the Banff/Lake Louise resorts and its host park not quite as popular, but Marmot Basin still gives the full taste of Canadian Rocky skiing.
160 inches of dry powder. 3,000 feet of vertical. Over 1,600 acres for all abilities — everything from groomers and trees to wide open bowls and steep chutes. And, of course, big views of the national park.
Detour: There are no services on the Icefields Parkway during winter, so stock up on food and gas before leaving Lake Louise. Similarly, Banff's selection is infinitely better than Louise's — grab a burger smothered in Rutting Elk Red BBQ Sauce and a pint of Powder Hound Pilsner at the Grizzly Paw Brewing Company and beeline it for Jasper from there.

After serving in the United States Army Reserve Corps from 1950 to 1952, he moved to New York City, intending to pursue a career in jazz by studying with the pianist Lennie Tristano. In 1953, however, Ryman began working as a guard at the Museum of Modern Art, and that same year he was inspired to make his first painting. His first one-person exhibition was held at the Paul Bianchini Gallery, New York, in 1967, and his first show in Europe came the following year at the Galerie Heiner Friedrich, Munich. Ryman's works were represented in Documentas 5 (1972), 6 (1977), and 7 (1982), in Kassel, in the Venice Biennale of 1976, and in the Whitney Biennial of 1987. His first retrospective was organized by the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, in 1974; Dia mounted a show of his works in 1988. In 1993-94 the Tate Gallery, London and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, organized an international traveling retrospective which also included the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Most recently in 2000-01, the Haus der Kunst, Munich, organized a Robert Ryman Retrospective that later traveled to the Kunstmuseum Bonn.

Hey guys,
I am about to become Matriarch with my Amazon and I recently replace the Mavinas set I was using. I have few questions about her equipment and the available Skill points.
1. What helm should I use? I have the Giant Skull but I use a Windfoce which makes the Giant Skull quite useless since it provides Knockback?
2. What amulet would you suggest? I am currently using Atma's and it seems to be working quite good.
3. What armor should I wear? I have no idea..!
4. I maxed Strafe, Multi Shoot and Penetrate. What's next? :P
Thank you!

Re: Few Physical Amazon Questions
1. Generally an IAS helm is preferred, depending on what ias breakpoint you want to hit. M'avina's with an ias jewel provides 45 ias from hat which is a big deal
2. Atma's is best. Cat's eye is also decent but then get a reapers merc.
3. Fortitude. If you don't have that, use lionhart or treachery
4. Max Critical strike not penetrate. You should have enough AR from steel/sharp grand charms and dex. Or atleast put ~10 pts in crit, as well as the mandatory 9 after skills in pierce. If you have a thing for D/A/E/V you can put points in them- I usually don't bother with more than 1 in each and none in valkyrie ( decoy is better ).
Finally, max magic arrow. It's great at dealing with physical immunes.

Re: Few Physical Amazon Questions
Thanks Zaph,
Thanks, one last question. I have:
Mavinas Helm - 30% AS
Windofrce (shael) - 40% AS
Gloves - 20% AS
Tearchery - 45% AS
I used the AS Calculator and got these results: I don't need any more AS right?

Re: Few Physical Amazon Questions
With windforce you can easily aim for the 120 ias bugged strafe bp. Or at the very least get 90 ias for multi shot.
This was my setup prior to acquiring faith and pride ( those change things a bit ).
WF with 29ed/15 ias jewel ( 35)
M'avina 15 ias ( 45)
LoH (20)
Cat's eye(20)
total: 120
For 90 ias build, replace M'avina's with Kira's guardian ( 15 ias ). KG gives a truckload of resists and frees up a ring slot if you want that.
Both setups assume fortitude armor ( extremely important imo ). With treachery you can even aim at 150 ias multi and 160 ias bugged strafe.

Re: Few Physical Amazon Questions
You hardly need that much ias if you're just straight up strafe. Kira's is a waste of a space, much better to go with a dual leech or high ias helm.

Re: Few Physical Amazon Questions
Yeah, go with a gaze/wf combo! Throwback to the 1.09 era where bowazons were everywhere...and the .08 WF. How I miss it so.
And yeah, you really don't need much ias with a strafer...on my untwinked bowa I'm using even a [10] WIAS bow with a shael in it, and 20%ias gloves. I find it's more than enough for hell.

Re: Few Physical Amazon Questions
I would skip WF and get a Faith.
Mavs set full with good sockets is a fun set and the Faith is the better upgrade.

Re: Few Physical Amazon Questions
Also planning a bowazon with WF and Fortitude + 20 point strafe (Faith is 2 expensive atm). Don't think I can reach 120 IAS without an amu with 20 IAS.
So for my setup would u opt for an Atma's and skip the 120 IAS or grab a Highlords/ cat's eye and go for the 120 IAS?

On the day of the big football game between the University of Missouri Tigers and the Cowboys of Oklahoma State, a football scout named Dan Shonka sat in his hotel, in Columbia, Missouri, with a portable DVD player. Shonka has worked for three National Football League teams. Before that, he was a football coach, and before that he played linebacker—although, he says, "that was three knee operations and a hundred pounds ago." Every year, he evaluates somewhere between eight hundred and twelve hundred players around the country, helping professional teams decide whom to choose in the college draft, which means that over the last thirty years he has probably seen as many football games as anyone else in America. In his DVD player was his homework for the evening's big game—an edited video of the Tigers' previous contest, against the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Shonka methodically made his way through the video, stopping and re-winding whenever he saw something that caught his eye. He liked Jeremy Maclin and Chase Coffman, two of the Mizzou receivers. He loved William Moore, the team's bruising strong safety. But, most of all, he was interested in the Tigers' quarterback and star, a stocky, strong-armed senior named Chase Daniel.
"I like to see that the quarterback can hit a receiver in stride, so he doesn't have to slow for the ball," Shonka began. He had a stack of evaluation forms next to him and, as he watched the game, he was charting and grading every throw that Daniel made. "Then judgment. Hey, if it's not there, throw it away and play another day. Will he stand in there and take a hit, with a guy breathing down his face? Will he be able to step right in there, throw, and still take that hit? Does the guy throw better when he's in the pocket, or does he throw equally well when he's on the move? You want a great competitor. Durability. Can they hold up, their strength, toughness? Can they make big plays? Can they lead a team down the field and score late in the game? Can they see the field? When your team's way ahead, that's fine. But when you're getting your ass kicked I want to see what you're going to do."
He pointed to his screen. Daniel had thrown a dart, and, just as he did, a defensive player had hit him squarely. "See how he popped up?" Shonka said. "He stood right there and threw the ball in the face of that rush. This kid has got a lot of courage." Daniel was six feet tall and weighed two hundred and twenty-five pounds: thick through the chest and trunk. He carried himself with a self-assurance that bordered on cockiness. He threw quickly and in rhythm. He nimbly evaded defenders. He made short throws with touch and longer throws with accuracy. By the game's end, he had completed an astonishing seventy-eight per cent of his passes, and handed Nebraska its worst home defeat in fifty-three years. "He can zip it," Shonka said. "He can really gun, when he has to." Shonka had seen all the promising college quarterbacks, charted and graded their throws, and to his mind Daniel was special: "He might be one of the best college quarterbacks in the country."
But then Shonka began to talk about when he was on the staff of the Philadelphia Eagles, in 1999. Five quarterbacks were taken in the first round of the college draft that year, and each looked as promising as Chase Daniel did now. But only one of them, Donovan McNabb, ended up fulfilling that promise. Of the rest, one descended into mediocrity after a decent start. Two were complete busts, and the last was so awful that after failing out of the N.F.L. he ended up failing out of the Canadian Football League as well.
The year before, the same thing happened with Ryan Leaf, who was the Chase Daniel of 1998. The San Diego Chargers made him the second player taken over all in the draft, and gave him an eleven-million-dollar signing bonus. Leaf turned out to be terrible. In 2002, it was Joey Harrington's turn. Harrington was a golden boy out of the University of Oregon, and the third player taken in the draft. Shonka still can't get over what happened to him.
"I tell you, I saw Joey live," he said. "This guy threw lasers, he could throw under tight spots, he had the arm strength, he had the size, he had the intelligence." Shonka got as misty as a two-hundred-and-eighty-pound ex-linebacker in a black tracksuit can get. "He's a concert pianist, you know? I really—I mean, I really—liked Joey." And yet Harrington's career consisted of a failed stint with the Detroit Lions and a slide into obscurity. Shonka looked back at the screen, where the young man he felt might be the best quarterback in the country was marching his team up and down the field. "How will that ability translate to the National Football League?" He shook his head slowly. "Shoot."
This is the quarterback problem. There are certain jobs where almost nothing you can learn about candidates before they start predicts how they'll do once they're hired. So how do we know whom to choose in cases like that? In recent years, a number of fields have begun to wrestle with this problem, but none with such profound social consequences as the profession of teaching.
One of the most important tools in contemporary educational research is "value added" analysis. It uses standardized test scores to look at how much the academic performance of students in a given teacher's classroom changes between the beginning and the end of the school year. Suppose that Mrs. Brown and Mr. Smith both teach a classroom of third graders who score at the fiftieth percentile on math and reading tests on the first day of school, in September. When the students are retested, in June, Mrs. Brown's class scores at the seventieth percentile, while Mr. Smith's students have fallen to the fortieth percentile. That change in the students' rankings, value-added theory says, is a meaningful indicator of how much more effective Mrs. Brown is as a teacher than Mr. Smith.

Samuel J. Herringshaw
Birth date: June 11, 1943
Death date: May 03, 2012
Samuel James Herringshaw born June 11, 1943 passed away May 3rd, 2012. Sam died at home with his family. He will be remembered for so many things, notably a loving & caring husband, father, grandfather (papa) and friend. Sam had a fun easy going spirit with a great sense of humor. Sam retired from Northwest Airline after 30 years of service. Sam loved to hunt & fish, watch his grandsons grow up, care for his loving dogs and support his Seattle Mariners. Sam had a caring heart for all. Sam would sit in a Wal-Mart parking lot at Christmas time selectively passing out envelopes of money to strangers. This was one of Sams many forms of giving to the world, a true answer to prayer for some. Sam is survived by his wife Mary, his parents Ab & Eileen, two children Greg & Greta, daughter-in-law Erin & Jackie, his grandchildren Ethan & Noah. Sam was a true light in this world; now in heaven he will be sorely missed. We love you dad. A special thanks to all his caregivers and those who knew him.
