The overall concept of the new Geovid HD-B brings about a revolution in rangefinding. Unique to these rangefinding binoculars is the supreme optical performance of their Perger Porro prism system, the optimised ergonomics of their bridge construction, and the additional integration of an extremely high-performance laser rangefinder with a multifunction ballistic computer.
The Geovid HD-B accesses an internal database with ballistic curves for practically all standard calibre ammunition. In addition, users can upload their own specific parameters for hand-loaded or special ammunition from a microSD memory card.
The newly developed ABC ballistic function (Advanced Ballistic Compensation) allows hunters to determine the point of aim much more easily and with greater precision than ever before. In fractions of a second, hunters can read off the precise parameters they need for their particular reticle or click adjustment. And all this taking the ammunition specifics, angle, temperature and barometric pressure into account.
- extremely long laser range of up to 1825 metres
- Advanced Ballistic Compensation (ABC®) for all hunting needs
- point of aim correction for various reticles and ASV (rapid reticle adjustment)
- input of the hunter's own ballistic parameters with a microSD memory card
- calculations include angle, temperature and barometric pressure data
- extraordinarily bright, clear and easily legible LED display with automatic adjustment to ambient lighting conditions
- extremely short measuring time of von max. 0.3 seconds
- sharp, high-contrast view with outstanding depth and plasticity, thanks to Perger Porro prisms
- AquaDura® coating for easier cleaning
- extremely high light transmission and particularly neutral colour rendition
- ergonomic bridge construction ensures fatigue-free viewing
- simple two-button operation
- eyecups with 5 click-stop settings
- particularly rugged, light and resilient fully rubber-armoured magnesium body
When using a classical hunting reticle, the point-of-impact correction is applied by means of an elevation adjustment. The Geovid HD-B displays the distance and the elevation correction (centimetres or inches). The value displayed relates to the target and shows the required deviation from point blank.
If the point-of-impact correction is applied by click adjustments with rapid reticle adjustment (Absehenschnellverstellung - ASV), the number of clicks required to adjust the reticle can be displayed. Display formats: 1 MOA, 1/3 MOA, 1/4 MOA, 10 mm/100 m, 5 mm/100 m.
When using a ballistic reticle, level terrain distance information is vital for a precise shot. As in all other functions, this information is provided under automatic consideration of the angle of declination, temperature and barometric pressure.

The attorney general's change in plans followed remarks he made Thursday in Doha, Qatar, that the FBI has opened a full investigation into the deaths and the attack on the consulate. The attorney general is in the Middle East this week for meetings with his foreign counterparts. He originally had been scheduled to go from Qatar to Saudi Arabia and Turkey before returning to the U.S. on Tuesday.
In Doha, the attorney general said the U.S. is committed to working with the Libyan government to seek justice for the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans at the consulate.
On Wednesday, a law enforcement official said the FBI was sending evidence teams to Libya.

Is there a possibility of increasing the number of times a day you nurse instead of decreasing? My DD was a big eater at that age and she still nurses an average of 6+ times a day. Also, is she night nursing? Many kids take in most of their calories that way (ask me how I know) CoSleeping will help with that too.
This link has very little science behind it, but it has some good ideas about fattening up food.
I am not saying you shouldn't listen to your doctors, just ask them questions. I did a quick search on the internet and I found nothing that said you should wean for FTT though lots on supplementing (and I have yet to meet a kid that wouldn't prefer ice cream to the vast majority of other foods - to harken back to duckpond's link)

Compost your pet's waste
Whether you're scooping for a kitty or a pooch, composting your pet's waste will prevent it from polluting waterways and from taking up space in landfills.
How to compost your pet's waste
Pet waste often contains dangerous pathogens that can cause serious diseases and the average garden compost pile or composter does not reach high enough temperatures to reliably kill them. Therefore, it is best to compost your pet's waste underground and not risk using it as fertilizer or plant bedding. Pet waste should never be added to compost that is intended for fertilizing vegetables or other edible plants. Making a dog waste composter is relatively easy and convenient, and will allow the composted waste to enter the subsoil directly. Though it hasn't been used for cat waste, its creators encourage others to try.
Burying pet waste in the backyard without any prior treatment is an alternative to composting. To safely bury your pet's waste:
- Dig a hole about 1 foot deep, far from edible plants.
- Add about 4 inches of waste.
- Crush it up and mix it with the soil at the bottom of the hole using a shovel.
- Bury it under about 8 inches of soil to keep other animals from being attracted to the smell.
For those who keep a large kennel of dogs, the Natural Resource Conservation Service offers a helpful publication about safely maintaining your own dog waste compost pile.

Doogie Dooley Pet Waste Disposal
The Doogie Dooley, an innovative and convenient pet waste management system, operates like a small-scale septic system. Sanitary, easy to use, odorless, and insect free. The device can handle the waste of up to four furry friends.
Tumbleweed Pet Poo Converter
This innovative, fertilizer-producing worm farm allows worms to feed on dog waste rather than vegetable scraps. The worms, however, can only feed on poo and not a mixed diet.
Composting your pet's waste helps you go green because...
- Waste will not be washed into waterways by rain, contaminating water resources.
- Composted kitty litter will not accumulate in landfills, where it decomposes very slowly.
About 44 million households in the US own a dog, totaling nearly 73 million pet dogs. The average dog creates about 274 pounds of waste a year, which comes to 6.3 million tons of total dog waste in the US.[1] Dog waste contains bacteria, viruses, and nutrients that can run off into local waterways and diminish water quality.
As a result of the millions of cat owners in the US, more than 8 billion pounds of kitty litter is dumped in landfills each year, twice the amount of disposable diapers.[2] Flushing cat feces can also be problematic, especially if you live near the ocean, as it may contain the protozoa Toxoplasma gondii, which was recently linked to sea otter deaths in California.[3] Composting or burying animal waste safely can help minimize these adverse environmental effects.
Related health issues
Worms, such as roundworms, are more common in dogs and may infect humans, causing severe abdominal pain and vomiting.[4] Cat feces containing the Toxoplasma gondii parasite can lead to toxoplasmosis in humans, a disease that may cause long-term damage to the brain, eyes, and other organs and is particularly risky for pregnant women, young children, and persons with AIDS.[5][6]
Washing hands after handling or getting close to pet waste helps minimize these health risks as does preventing pets from eating raw meat or seafood or fish (where parasites often reside), as well as keeping pet waste, waste-handling tools, and separate from other tools.

McMillan Earns Third-Team NFCA All-American Honors
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of North Georgia placed Kim McMillan on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American Third-Team as it was announced Wednesday night at the NCAA Banquet in Salem, Virginia, site of the 2013 Division II College World Series.
McMillan, named as a catcher to the team, joined fellow Peach Belt Conference third baseman Kacie Patterson of Armstrong Atlantic State University on the third team. Columbus State University pitcher Mollie Russell was named to the second team.
In all, 45 players from 36 different institutions were named to the All-American teams. Midwestern State led all schools with four total All-Americans as well as a trio of first-team recipients, while Indianapolis boasted three selections and California (Pa.), Cal State Dominguez Hills, Valdosta State and Barry followed closely behind with two nods each. Of the eight teams who advanced to Salem, Va., for the upcoming NCAA Division II Championship over May 23-27, seven of those, Central Oklahoma, Molloy, Grand Valley State, Valdosta State, Texas Woman's, Armstrong Atlantic and Humboldt State, each had representation on this year's NFCA All-American teams.
McMillan, a sophomore from Powder Springs, Ga., spent her first year of her collegiate career at Purdue University where she was Big Ten Freshman of the Week on February 28, 2011. She attended Hillgrove High School prior to going to Purdue. At Hillgrove, she was a member of the All-Region and All-State teams in 2010.
In her first season in a North Georgia uniform, McMillan came in and provided immediate firepower for the Saints' offense as well as offering solid defense at multiple positions as she started all 50 games for North Georgia. On offense, McMillan is currently in the top-10 in the PBC in 10 different offensive categories including leading the conference with 28 extra base hits, 114 total bases and is tied for tops in the conference with 15 doubles. For the season, McMillan collected 61 hits, 43 runs, 42 runs batted in and 13 home runs. She recorded multiple hits in a game 13 times this season including five games with three hits. Defensively, she played three different positions this season starting the season in left field while also playing some at first base before moving behind the plate late in the season. McMillan has recorded 160 putouts and 22 assists with a fielding percentage of .978 and was a two-time PBC Player of the Week (Mar. 18 & Mar. 25).
Earlier this month, she was named to the NFCA All-Southeast Region First-Team and the Daktronics All-Southeast Region First-Team as well. McMillan was an honorable mention for the Daktronics All-America Team. She was also a Peach Belt Conference All-Conference team member as announced before the start of the conference tournament.
McMillan led the Saints to a 36-14 record that saw the Saints make a fifth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Saints also finished third in the PBC regular season.

Victoria Falls is where to go in Zimbabwe for one of the world's greatest natural wonders and a comprehensive range of safari experiences but Zimbabwe's conservation areas such as the enormous Hwange National Park and the lake-and-river destinations of Matusadona or Mana Pools deliver great game viewing in environments largely devoid of other visitors.
Visit Victoria Falls in full flood and discover why it's called The Smoke That Thunders; the scale is immense and the experience unique, but there's so much more on offer at this popular destination. Enjoy scenic flights, elephant-back safaris, lion cub encounters, bungee jumping, white-water rafting, game viewing and Zambezi River cruises plus access to places of interest such as local markets and traditional villages.
Read more about a Victoria Falls holiday.
Hwange is where to go in Zimbabwe for the country's best big game viewing. Located a few hours' drive from Victoria Falls, Hwange is home to the densest concentrations of elephant after Botswana's Chobe National Park and is an excellent destination for Africa's big predators.
Read more about a Hwange safari.
Wild, remote and little-visited Mana Pools lies along the Zambezi River, its forests and floodplains home to large herds of elephant and its rivers overflowing with hippo and crocodile. Best explored on walking trails and canoe safaris, Mana Pools is a genuine wilderness area that delivers an exciting, off-the-beaten-track safari experience.
Read more about a Mana Pools safari.
One of the world's biggest man-made lakes, Kariba has a magical setting and wonderfully tranquil atmosphere. Flanked by game reserves and private concessions, the waters of the lake attract large numbers of animals both big and small: crocodiles inhabit the many islands, hippos splash about in the shallows, elephant and antelope graze at the water's edge, and African fish eagles perch on dead tree branches.
The long established Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is well placed for you to explore Lake Kariba and the nearby Matusadona National Park on game drives, guided walks and boat safaris; don't forget to throw in a fishing line for the legendary tiger fish and toast the famous Kariba sunsets with a chilled sundowner drink.
Just upstream of Victoria Falls lies the Zambezi National Park, a wild and game-rich reserve stretched out along the broad, smooth-flowing Zambezi River. Drawing fewer visitors than neighbouring Chobe National Park in Botswana, this largely unknown reserve offers fantastic dry-season game viewing without the crowds: expect large numbers of elephant, buffalo, hippo and giraffe but keep an eye out for lion, leopard and even wild dog. The birdlife along the river is superb, and we'd highly recommend a river safari.
If you're staying in Victoria Falls, a day game drive around Zambezi National Park will give you a quick and easy taste of Zimbabwe's diverse wildlife; however, it's worth spending a couple of nights there – we'd recommend comfortable Imbabala Lodge, set in the private Imbabala Concession within the reserve.
Roughly the size of South Africa's Sabi Sands Game Reserve, the Malilangwe private concession is where to go in Zimbabwe for one of Africa's hottest new safari destinations. The game viewing at Malilangwe is sure to impress: the Big 5 are all there including the second highest concentration of black rhino on the continent along with massive herds of up to 500 buffalo. Big cats are a regular sighting, endangered African wild dogs breed in the reserve and the birdlife is truly amazing - Malilangwe has recorded 400 species of birds and boasts one of the world's greatest concentrations of raptors, including 14 species of eagle.
The landscape too is nothing short of spectacular with mopane forests, 'upside-down' baobab trees and tall sandstone outcrops. Perched on the top of one of these outcrops is an extraordinary safari lodge - Singita Pamushana - which, in true Singita style, delivers stylish accommodation, gourmet dining and faultless service.
At a Glance
On-the-rise Zimbabwe is home not only to the best views of Victoria Falls but some of Southern Africa's best & wildest game reserves too, and its guides are among the best on the continent.

When it comes to TV theme songs, few are as famous as the title tune that graced the opening credits of both the feature film and TV series "M*A*S*H." But "Suicide Is Painless" is more than just a catchy song -- it's a theme with a great backstory.
[Related: 'M*A*S*H' finale: The inside story behind TV's most-watched episode]
As the show celebrates the 30th anniversary of its legendary finale, here's a look back at how this iconic intro came to be.
Robert Altman brought "M*A*S*H" to the big screen
In 1969, Robert Altman was hired to direct the big-screen version of "M*A*S*H," based on Richard Hooker's 1968 novel, "MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors." Although as many as a dozen other filmmakers reportedly turned down the job before him, Altman ultimately signed on to helm the dark comedy about "Hawkeye" Pierce, "Trapper" John McIntyre, and the other members of the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War.
[Related: Check out our 'M*A*S*H' infographic]
Although a composer doesn't usually begin work until the start of postproduction, Altman brought in Johnny Mandel at the get-go. The two had collaborated on the movie "That Cold Day in the Park" and had established a friendship beyond their working relationship.
[Related: Where is the cast of 'M*A*S*H' now?]
Robert Altman asked for the "stupidest song ever written"
In addition to having Mandel write the entire original score for the film, Altman asked him to write the music for the scene known as "The Last Supper." As the action plays out, Capt. Walter "Painless Pole" Waldowski crawls into a casket to commit suicide as his 4077th cohorts feast on a da Vinci-esque dinner at a long table. It was up to Mandel to write a song that could be played on an acoustic guitar and sung by Ken Prymus, who played Private Seidman. And Altman gave him one guideline, as the composer revealed in an interview with Jazz Wax: "It's got to be the stupidest song ever written."
Initially, Altman took it upon himself to write the dumbed-down lyrics for the tune, but according to Mandel, he returned a few days later and confessed, "I'm sorry, but there's just too much stuff in this 45-year-old brain. I can't write anything nearly as stupid as what we need." Instead, he asked his 14-year-old son, Michael, to take a stab at some inane words that would then be put to music. According to some sources, the younger Altman cranked out the assignment in just five minutes.

"Suicide Is Painless" is a legendary success
Mike Altman's effort would prove to be a most fruitful burst of creativity. The song soon became the title track for the film. And when a small-screen adaptation came along in 1972, the tune served as the theme song for that as well. As Robert Altman told Johnny Carson during a "Tonight Show" interview in the '80s, he made only $70,000 for directing the feature-length version of "M*A*S*H." Thanks to residuals, though, his son had already seen more than $1 million in royalties at that point.
The tune has also received its fair share of accolades over the years. In 1988, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers honored Mike Altman and Mandel with the ASCAP Award for Most Performed Feature Film Standards. And in 2004, "Suicide Is Painless" ranked 66th on the American Film Institute's 100 Years ... 100 Songs list. Plus there have been countless covers done of the track by everyone from easy-listening artist Ray Conniff to jazz pianist Bill Evans to shock rocker Marilyn Manson.
"Suicide Is Painless" lyrics:
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see
That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger watch it grin
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please
A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied "Oh, why ask me?"
Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

7 Best Lip Balms -- and the 6 Worst
You know how a great lip balm gets your lips smooth and soft instantly -- and a bad one takes forever to work (if it works at all)? Here's what to pick, and what to skip, for your softest lips ever
Why: Unfortunately, readers found this lip balm was more "sharp" than "shimmery." One reader explains, "The texture was horrible, it felt like shards of glass. I gave my unopened one away and threw the opened one in the trash!" Others were disgusted by the silver residue that caked onto lips. One reader writes, "My lips almost look metallic! And not in the good way. The shimmer is more like glitter, and there's way too much of it. I've never found a lip balm to look chalky, but this definitely does. It doesn't even moisturize my lips! It's gritty, chalky, and doesn't feel good. It's just not cute."

The very best lip balm is Cocoa Butter Lip Balm by "Cococare! The cost is only $1.99 at any beauty supply store. It is rich and creamy and repaired my slightly dry lips over night... and I've tried all those mentioned above.

I might try the Rose Salve and Beecology based on this, but I'm very disappointed that Burt's Bees -- my staple -- isn't mentioned.

Wish I'd read this before ordering one of the balms on the worst list. I haven't received it yet. I'll have to let you know if I too think it's the worst

11655 Haynes Bridge Rd, Alpharetta, GA | Directions 3000434.065070 -84.292305
Sounds nice, but CLOSED OVER TWO YEARS AGO – The restaurant may sound nice. But realize that it has been CLOSED for over TWO YEARS. Way to stay current, citysearch. Don't plan on eating here tonight before going to the concert.
beautiful place, great food, great service – i highly recommend this place! The food, service, atmosphere, EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT! The menu wasnt very extensive but the food was amazing. They made us a special desert plate for our anniversary... we are definately going to go back!
good food – Manpower has several subsidiaries including Elan Group Ltd, Jefferson Wells and Right Management.
Manpower supplies staff to multinational corporations such as IBM, Monsanto, ntl and Danaher subsidiaries.
They Don't Know What There Missing. – My wife and I had heard about Rainwater from a few are our friends, but my wife was skeptical given what she read on the recent review. WELL LET ME TELL YOU, we have found our new favorite place. From the minute we arrived you could telll that the staff, from the valet, the host to our server, right down the the managers, that they were there to make sure we had the best time. The service by our waiter was perhaps the best we have had in atlanta since we moved here from Chicago, and the food was absolutely out of the world. Great flavors, wonderful presentations, as good as any of the best restaurants we have visted in Buckhead. And to go along with the food a wine list for anyone from price to type of wine. It was a tremendous suprise to find a place with the type of experience that most of our friends think you can only have in Midtown or Buckhead right in our backyard. If you haven't given Rainwater a try, do not wait any longer. It is our new favorite restaurant.
What a Disappointment! – We made a dinner reservation one month ahead at this restaurant for our Valentine's Day celebration. We picked this place because of the reviews listed on this website. The valet service offered by the restaurant is great. We were taken to a room that was plain and had no decoration on the wall. We sat by the window and it was freezing. Despite we told the waitress to turn up the heat, there was not much help. We ordered one pre-fix dinner and two additional dishes. Thruough out the entire meal, the scallop and the crabcake were the best. However, the lobster was barely warm and very dry (there is no gravy/sauce for the lobster). In addition, the sauce on the beef was too sweet. At the end, we ordered chocolate cake w/ vanilla ice cream and the cake tasted like it had been refrigerated for days. The bill came up to $150. My husband and I did not complaint about the food to the waitress because they were super busy that night plus our waitress was very nice. Although the service was very good, we were not impressed with the food at all. We had better steak at Stoney River.
Refined restaurant elevates the Alpharetta dining scene with fine food and polished service. – The Scene
Expensively built from the ground up, the decor of this upscale restaurant is Tuscan villa with a few Cirque du Soleil flourishes. Sophisticated earth tones evoke the interiors of a tasteful, well-appointed home and strains of Sinatra waft through the dining areas. The team service is smoothly attentive.
The Food
While the menu doesn't break new ground, everything is tasty and well-executed. The cheese course includes five Sweet Grass Dairy offerings beautifully presented on marble and the plump crab cake is all lump meat with slivers of green apple and celery for texture and zing. The New York strip with blue-cheese macaroni is flavorful, but could be more tender. The monkfish served with spicy chorizo ravioli lives up to its moniker, "the poor man's lobster." Try not to topple the luscious signature raspberry staircase dessert with white and chocolate mousse or the fluffy coconut-pecan cake.
Took My Breath Away once... – ...only to have me gasp my second time back. My wife and I had one great experience here. So the owner of my company and I decided to invite some key clients for a holiday gathering. Well, I couldn't feel more disappointed. The private room was poorly appointed...no paintings, no decorations, no plants. The wait staff was excellent, the food was adequate, but the management was horrendous at customer service. When faced with a billing discrepancy, instead of trying to reach resolution, management chose to be completely unaccomodating. While they "hoped this didn't leave a bad impression," they did nothing to improve the impression, instead treating us rudely. I feel duped and embarassed since we went there on my recommendation.
Needless to say, my boss is picking the next restaurant and it won't be Rainwater. And my wife and I are left wondering about what was and might have been - but will never be - since we won't be returning either.
Best Service in Metro-Atlanta – I LOVE this place. I have been 6x's in a two year period and I have always had a delighful time. Attentive staff, great romantic ambience and good food. We are always seated by the fireplace (they track your seating), the chef made a special appetizer for me and the hubby's anniversary and surprised us with a nice desert on the house. They did the same for our b-days as well.
Great service goes a looonnnngggg way!
Buckhead without the drive – We have driven by Rainwater many times over the past few years. Most times on our way to Buckhead for a nice night out. We have always heard that it is a nice place for dinner. This past weekend we decided to give Rainwater a try. All we can say is nice is an understatement. Let's just say BRILLIANT. The food was spectacular, the wine list extraordinary, the service was the best, and an atmosphere to rival any of the restaurants in Buckhead. We used to think that the only place to go for this kind of experience was Buckhead or Midtown. Not any more! What a brilliant night!
Was very disappointed in the 9-11 Chocolate Bar. Very small and not a lot to pick from. Half of items weren't even chocolate. "fondue" chocolate was very runny and would not stick to strawberries. Hard store bought vanilla looking cookies??? Icing on cake wasn't even chocolate. Cool whip mix with a swirl of chocolate and put in small cups had hardly any taste. Would not reccommend this part of restaurant event.

On OD website it lists RAM as 1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM, but I've seen 1600 MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM listed as well on different websites. Can someone who owns this $340 model G580 (59359080) confirm the ram speed? TIA
Dual booting (having W7 installed while still having W8 as well) doesn't void the one year warranty right?
Last edited by AppleC; 02-20-2013 at 11:42 PM..
W8 Pro has downgrade rights. If you don't have W8 Pro, you'll need a valid W7 license.
On page two of the coupon link.. http://www.officedepot
another stores coupon ? We will honor competitor's coupons at the local store according to the Office Depot Price Match Policy, which you can find here:
Also, on page one of the same: Can I add my coupon after my order is confirmed? ? Once an order is confirmed we begin the shipping process and there are times where it cannot be modified. But don't worry, as soon as you receive delivery you can contact us via live chat, email, or by phone and we'll be happy to issue a credit for the coupon savings, based on the terms and conditions.
ALSO, there is NOTHING mentioned about LOCAL competitors it just says competitor...
Feel bad for everyone having trouble but their policy IS to accept competitor coupons even AFTER sale and you shouldn't let them weasel out!
OKAY EVERYONE! If you've already bought this computer you should act as if you haven't even set it up yet and are MORE than willing to return and rebuy or return and go to Staples. Let them know that IF that is necessary you will NOT be happy and they will lose a customer. Be polite but insistent!
�Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.� Ayn Rand
"Sarah: That's not fair! Jareth: You say that so often, I wonder what your basis for comparison is?"
Dean: "Cram it with walnuts ugly!"
I think it's great that people are able to use Staples $75-off coupon, but it looks to me like O.D.'s price matching policy shouldn't have to honor it. Competitor's coupons are accepted according to O.D.'s price-matching policy, which clearly states the item must be identical. Staples doesn't sell the G580, so they don't have to accept the coupon.
I'm happy to be wrong about this. I did already purchase the G580 from O.D. at $339, but since there are more in stock at our local store, I might just stop in with the Staples coupon and see if they honor it on a 2nd purchase.
Unfortunately, there are no OD's that have the laptop in stock anymore. I'll file a complaint on BBB and see what happens from there. Thanks for the tip
Just came back from local OD, they have 3 in stock but manager refused to honor the coupon, he said they called Staples and Staples do not have same model, so they won't match the coupon.
So it really up to the store manager to take the coupon or not.
Good luck though. The store where has it is in zip 60173.

Mon-Sun 5pm-11pm
Neighborhoods: Beverly Hills
Great decor! Food is good – i'm giving it 4 stars for the experience factor, not b/c i think it's 4 star dining. i love the decor and the vastness of the space, tho some parts are a little disney-fied. i like watching guy make soba noodles downstairs. what a treat! very nice sake list as well. the food is average plus. i'd go for the cooked stuff over the sushi. they spent a lot of money on this place and it's not super popular so i'm not sure how long it will last.
Best Restaurant in LA – From the moment you walk in you feel like your entering japan... Amazing zen garden/koi pond.. The food was really really good... I would recommend the crispy tuna tower, ebi shinjo (shrimp dumpling-friter), tuna tostada & the yellowtail carpaccio special are all great for apps. Then for main course the whole seabass sukiyaki was the best fish I've ever had. Anything is amazing there.. I've been to gonpachi tons of times and I always leave with a smile and a happy belly.. That staff is very friendly. They have the best happy hr EVERYDAY, $3 Japanese beer (18oz) and food and drink specials.. Try it, they will not let you down!!

The Place to Go! – The food was exceptional! Everything tasted good and came out pretty quick. We had a tuna tostada appetizer that was excellent, it was spicy tuna mix with home cut sweet potato fries that you scoop the tuna mix up with. The grilled black cod was amazing, and the cold soba noodles were made fresh right in front of us. Our server was great, her name was Debbie. The whole staff was friendly, we even met the chef. I'll be back to try the all you can eat deal.
feels like I'm in Tokyo – Since I used to go to Gonpachi in Tokyo all the time, this place makes me feel like I'm in my hometown. I come here every other week, and eat at sushi bar since I am a big sushi fan (no Americanized rolls for me though... I go for the traditional nigiri!). I usually order the Omakase so that I get the best fish of the day and add a few Kushiyaki (skewers) because they are not ignorable. Tsukune and Enoki maki are my favorites!
Although this place does make those Americanized sushi rolls, this place serves a very traditional Japanese food. Sushi, the edo-mae style, Kushi-yaki on a Sumi (charcoal?), and their daily handmade Soba. I cannot go home without finishing my dinner with their super delicious pumpkin zenzai. I could eat that everyday! Unbeliably affordable for a Japanese restaurant with such great food and decor.
Everytime I come to Venice to visit my Brother I just insist on coming here at least one nite.
Great food, Great service, fun place to be
Thanks for being there
CouldaBeenGreat – Dined often. (couple times weekly) Most potential of any Sushi Restaurant on the Westside.
Imported wasabi, authentic ambience, Japanese Garden, fresh handmade Soba Noodles daily, imported Japanese charcoal.
Food,service, and management deteriated with the lack of patrons.
Mised the boat.
Beautiful Restaurant – The restaurant is a work of art. I only wish that the food was just as good, didn't live up to the decor. When we arrived, the hostess showed us 3 tables for us to select. It was like she was a realtor showing us houses, one with a view of the kitchen, one in a quiet corner, etc. We sat down and asked for something special. We got a couple of sushi rolls that were not what we had in mind, but ate them anyway. Is it because this place is in Beverly Hills? We didn't think that the food matched the decor. Our friends from Chicago will be visiting us soon and would like to bring them, maybe we didn't order properly. What is the thing to eat here? Thank you.
Actually, they ARE open for lunch! – Amazing space, amazing food, great service. The red dragon roll is out of this world, with three colorful varieties of caviar highlighting a beautifully presented dish. Lunch service just started in late January, they had never been open for lunch before, so I don't know where the repvious reveiw got his info. The lunch menu is an incredible value: tons of top notch food at half of what you'd pay elsewhere on restaurant row.
Gorgeous Location and Setting – This place is gorgeous and completely out of place on La Cienaga boulevard. The first thing you'll think when you walk in is "I can't afford this." But the prices weren't terrible, considering that the food is pretty darn great, it's located in an expensive area, and the ambiance is the best. Seriously, it is a beautiful building, which I was told cost over $18 Million to build.
Just don't expect a "Japanese fusion" restaurant, most of the dishes were pretty traditional, with great presentation. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and service was friendly.
CLOSED FOR LUNCH! – Since when did they close for lunch? Had a client that wanted to go where they filmed the movie and the GD place was CLOSED! What's up with that? We ended up going across the street and had a very nice lunch.

Most of us take our body's ability to heal for granted. Only when faced with a wound that does not heal, do we realize how much it affects every aspect of our life. A wound that does not respond to normal medical care within 30 days is considered a problem or chronic wound. Often, people feel as though there is no hope for this type of condition.
At Methodist South Hospital, we are in the business of healing, and this is especially true at our Comprehensive Wound Healing Center. Through our comprehensive treatment programs, administered by physicians specially trained in caring for wounds, we can help you return to a normal, active lifestyle.
Our Comprehensive Outpatient Program
We work in partnership with your primary physician to understand your health history and keep him/her updated with your progress. Wound healing is a team approach that is focused on your individual needs. Upon your initial visit, you will undergo a thorough diagnostic examination to identify the type of wound and the underlying problem causing it. Then a treatment program will be specifically tailored to your needs utilizing our advanced treatment options. Your treatment may include:
- Infectious disease management
- Physical therapy
- Vascular evaluation
- Laboratory evaluation
- Nutritional management
- Pain management
- Diabetes management and education
- Nuclear medicine
- Radiology services
The treatment program involves regular visits to the Comprehensive Wound Healing Center to ensure proper healing. We can also develop a home care program to help you properly care for your wound between visits to our center. We involve you in your plan of care and instruct you in ways to help with the healing process, including dressing changes and diet and lifestyle modifications. Don't let your wound stop you from doing the things you love. If you or a loved one has a wound that won't heal, ask your doctor about the services at Methodist South's Comprehensive Wound Healing Center.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Ellie Design I anticipated loving this platter but I was disappointed when I received it. The color is "off". I expected a Christmas green but the color can best be described as a blue-green. The plate edge is not polished and the plate I received has several chips on the edge. November 18, 2013

A boiler assisted tank can heat a lot more water than an electric. The recovery rate is higher as well, so a 40-gallon electric may not (likely won't) fill the tub. Once hot, it doesn't take all that much to keep it hot in an electric tank. A Kw=3412BTU. One BTU can raise one pound of water one degree. So, depending on how cold the water coming in is, and how hot you make it, and how much you use, you can figure it out. A gallon of water weighs about 8# (less, but that would give you some room for standby losses).
So, to raise 40-gallons of water from say 40-degrees to 120-degrees (about the minimum you want) means:
40*8 or 320# of water, *80 degrees, or 25600BTU /3412 = about 7.5Kwhr.
Then, add in any other hot uses during the day, and you can figure out approximately how much energy it will take; then, multiply by the local rates. Sometimes, it is a tiered rate, and the more you use, the higher the cost/Kw, so it might bump you up to a higher rate.

Dr. Michael Good of Durham, Connecticut spent the last six years trying to find out more about a Nazi officer, Major Karl Plagge, who saved his mother and 250 other Jews in World War II. "He saw the genocide going on all around him and he felt responsible, and he decided that he was going to help these beleaguered Jews to try to survive," Good said. Plagge died and was forgotten until Good brought his deeds to light. The search for Plagge's story became something of an obsession for the American doctor. "I realized that I'm alive today and my children are alive, that we exist because of the actions of this brave man," Good said. Today, Plagge was honored as a Righteous Gentile at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, in the presence of some of the Holocaust survivors he saved, including Good's mother. It is an exceptionally rare honor for a Nazi officer.

Pablo Paredes: Anti-war Sailor
"…if there's anything I could be guilty of, it is my beliefs. I am guilty of believing this war is illegal. I'm guilty of believing war in all forms is immoral and useless, and I am guilty of believing that as a service member I have a duty to refuse to participate in this war because it is illegal."
Due the strong legal case put forward as well as nationwide political pressure, Pablo Paredes was sentenced to no jail time for his act of courageous resistance. He was convicted of "missing movement" for failure to board ship with his unit, and sentenced to two months restriction, three months hard labor without confinement, and reduction in rank to E-1.

I'm trying to get our ServiceDesk set up and I'm at a point where I'm starting to need users. I ran an AD import and that seems fine, and was able to change myself to be an Analyst from an End User.
This is where I'm starting to run into some issues, partially stemming from the fact that different documents say to do different things. The LDSDSetup document says that my Network Login should be my DN, and the Logon policy should be Explicit only
But http://community.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-11425 says to use domain\username for the Network Login and that the Logon policy should be Integrated Only.
I added <add key="AuthenticationProvider" value="Touchpaper.Integrations.LDAPLogon.DirectoryServiceAuthenticationProvider" /> to my tps.config
My DirectoryServiceAuthentificationConfiguration.xml looks like this:
But even with <ShowExceptions>True</ShowExceptions> I'm only getting Logon failed when I try to log on. I've tried both Integrated Only, Explicit Only, and All for the Logon Policy but none have changed the behavior. I tried setting <AuthenticationType> to LDAP, and Secure but neither of those worked either. I'm really lost, I'd appreciate any help anyone that's gotten this to work could offer. I went through these posts and they didn't work although clearly I'm not the only one finding conflicting information in the documentation...
The following is the requirements for LDAP Authentication (AD included)-
Make sure you've copied everything into the correct locations, triple confirm your configuration settings in the XML file and finally, IISRESET and try again.
Thanks for responding Hadyn,
I'm still not having any luck, but I think I'd probalby be able to get further if I could get some kind of message other than "Logon failed". <ShowExceptions>True</ShowExceptions> doesn't seem to be doing anything (making me think that it's not even looking at the DirectoryServiceAuthentifictionConfiguration.xml) so I can't even see what it doesn't like. Is there any other log that I can look at anywhere?
The Windows Event Logs on the server you're connecting to might have some additional info. Out of interest, where have you placed the copy of the LDAP configuration file?
Sorry for the delay getting back to you. By the LDAP configuration file, you're referring to DirectoryServiceAuthentifictionConfiguration.xml right? That is in the following locations:
I checked the Windows Event Log. There is an error there, but it doesn't seem very helpful:
Have you confirmed that the server can connect to:-
ldap://domaincontroller:389/OU=My Users,OU=Employees,OU=User Accounts,DC=domain,DC=local
You can download an LDAP browser free from the web to verify this (I use LDP from Microsoft.com). I guess you can logon as "SA" without the logon failed error?, also it is worth stopping the services before running your tests as I have seen this error produced by background services so it may not be related.
Kindest Regards
Hi Nathan,
Yes I'm able to connect to the ldap url from the Service Desk machine. Are you referring to any particular services that should be stopped?
I would stop all LANDesk Service Desk services while testing to ensure that the error returned in the event log is defiantly a result of the LDAP authentication failing and not a LANDesk ServiceDesk service.
Also could you confirm if you can logon as SA without issue?, this should bypass the LDAP logon.
Kindest Regards
Hi Nathan,
Sorry yes I'm able to log in with sa. Stopping all of the ServiceDesk services yielded the same result.
I have an update. I re-did the Active Directory Data Import mapping to different fields and now I'm getting this:
Failed to create Authentication Provider 'Touchpaper.Integrations.LDAPLogon.DirectoryServiceAuthenticationProvider'. Contact an administrator to check that the provider is installed on the application server.
Is that some kind of module that I would have needed to install?
Ok, my mistake. The error I was getting was on the ServiceDesk.WebAccess not in the Service Console. I've now got the authentication working via the Service Console, but the web access is just giving me Logon Failed.
Things that were wrong with authentication to ServiceDesk.Framework:
Now that that's working, I copeid the DirectoryServiceAuthentifictionConfiguration from SeviceDesk.Framwork into ServiceDesk.Mobile and ServiceDesk.WebAccess but they're still not working. Do I need to change any IIS settings? I'm still getting:
Failed to create Authentication Provider 'Touchpaper.Integrations.LDAPLogon.DirectoryServiceAuthenticationProvider'. Contact an administrator to check that the provider is installed on the application server.
also something to note, I was trying to get the network logins to map automatically and having a hard time with it, so I was looking around and found this
which has a sql script to create a stored procedure that does it. It does NOT have to be a DN, domain\username works fine. That's all that the stored procedure does and I tried this out with my account and it worked.
Because you are using Active Directory, you need to set the following <AuthenticationType>Secure</AuthenticationType> in DirectoryServiceAuthentificationConfiguration.xml.
The default value is 'None' and not 'Secure'. I found the comments in the xml file confusing. This solved my initially login issue with the Console.
However, I then had you issue with the Self Service/Web Desk Website where it would report
Failed to create Authentication Provider 'Touchpaper.Integrations.LDAPLogon.DirectoryServiceAuthenticationProvider'.
It turns out there are some dlls that need to be copied from the Framework (C:\Program Files (x86)\LANDesk\Service Desk\WebApp\Framework\bin) folder to the WebAccess Folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\LANDesk\Service Desk\WebApp\WebAccess\bin).
The key files missing being:
Doing a forum search on these dlls will point you to this article - http://forum.landesk.com/support/docs/DOC-6801/
Hope it helps.

Grab a seat in our Martini Lounge any week night as Wildfire offers half-price starters Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sample Wildfire favorites, including our variety of pizzas, Calamari, Wildfire Mussels or Baked Goat Cheese.
Love this restaurant – I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding. I would make reservations though. The normal wait on the weekend is 1 1/2 to 2 hours but if you make a reservation they have to seat you within 20 minutes of your reservation time. I love their petite filet medallions with the crusts. No matter how you have it cooked, the meat is so tender it almost melts in your mouth! Also, I would advise to upgrade your side to the white cheddar au gratin potatoes. Absolutely heaven. I go at least once or twice a year for a special occasion and I still have not gotten sick of it. After eating steak at Wildfire, eating steak at anywhere else just does not compare and usually leaves me disappointed.
Amazing – I can honestly say without a doubt that this is the best restaurant in the Chicagoland area. The food is quite pricey but is the small price you have to pay for amazing food. I have never had steak that good in my life. I 100% recommend this place. With friendly servers, quick seating and a warm friendly atmosphere, this place cant be beat.
Gluten Friendly! – Wow. Wildfire is awesome. I swear that they have the best mashed potatoes anywhere! Their signature salad is excellent, but I wouldn't recommend it prior to your meal, as it is a meal in itself! They split the salads between 2 to 4 people, so you think they would be dainty. Nothing is dainty here. Prime rib, fantastic. Lamb chops, not gamey. Filet, superbly tender. And, to top it all off, they have a gluten free menu for those of you with allergies... one of the few restaurants to do so.
It's a great treat for celebrations, romantic dinners, and kid friendly.
Editorial Review – Classic American chophouse aims for a 1940s dinner club atmosphere in a lodgelike setting.
If you love steak - You'll love Wildfire!!! – Restaruant is at the corner of Rt. 72 (ie Higgins Rd) & Mecham. I'd call to make a reservation first. Check out their bar. Great ambiance and friendly service. Spinach dip, bacon wrapped scallops and Crab Cake are wonderful appetizers. My favorite entree has to be their NY Strip with the Parmesean crust. This is not on their menu, but be sure to order! Their Twice Baked potato is huge and absolutly divine! Scalloped potatoes are great as well. Both of these are worth their upcharge. Martini's are very yummy! If you have the ability, save room for dessert! Coconut Cream Pie - YUMMY! Might have to have a sample and take home because servings are large! This is my favorite place to eat for a special occasion or any day! I hope you check it out! This is also a Lettuce Entertain You Restaurant as well. Enjoy!
Outstanding! – I recently had the fine experience of dining at this Wildfire. The atmosphere was wonderful. The service was outstanding. And the food , magnificant. Let's just say it was one of the most pleasant dining experiences that I have ever had. Thank you Wildfire!!!!

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - Roanoke police say a resident killed a man in self-defense during an apparent home robbery attempt.
Police department spokesman Scott Leamon tells the Roanoke Times that 42-year-old Earnest Neal Jr. was shot at the home late Thursday and was later found at a nearby gas station. He died at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
The shooters's name was not released, and Leamon said no charges were expected.
A man who answered the door at the house where the shooting occurred said he was there when it happened and was still shaken up, but he declined to comment further.

Lore: Bye, bye birdie: Peacock kidnapped
Date: January 30, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
Longboat Key is known as a safe place to live — for humans, that is.
The Longbeach Village's infamous flock of peacocks has committed its share of misdemeanors throughout the years. They've scratched cars, jaywalked and, no doubt, violated the town's noise ordinance.
But they've also faced their share of high crimes.
Around 4:30 p.m. Feb. 5, 1988, Longboat Key police learned that a Village peacock had been kidnapped.
A witness told police that a man stopped his small truck near Linley and Poinsettia streets, captured a peacock, tied its legs and put the bird in the back of his truck before leaving.
Police learned an Ellenton man owned the vehicle the kidnapper drove, but they never located the man or the peacock.
It wasn't the first time the Village's most colorful residents faced the wrath of their neighbors, and, of course, it wouldn't be the last.
In March 1978, a man told the Longboat Key Town Commission that he had shot at peacocks with an air-rifle and thrown rocks at them in an (unsuccessful) attempt to discourage them from roosting on his roof.
The discussion came in the middle of mating season, during which a mysterious pair of wild turkeys had also joined the flock.
According to Frank Cunningham's "The Key to Longboat," a resident pleaded no contest to criminal charges that he killed a peacock with a pellet gun, then ran over the dead bird with his car. He received three years of probation.
Mostly, however, the peacocks have been at the center of a war of words between those who love them and those who hate them.
Suffice it to say, we haven't heard the last from peacocks.
Debate usually hatches in the spring — i.e., mating season — in the Village about how to handle the peacock proliferation.
In past years, the Longbeach Village Association hired trappers in an effort to reduce the flock to 12.
And although the Association has yet to determine whether it will try to cull the flock again, rest assured: The reduction takes place through non-violent measures.
After trappers capture the peacocks, they take them to a new home — usually a farm.
There, the squawking and car scratching aren't so important — and farmers value them because they eat insects.
