ok, ever since i got my egrip i had a problem with it not always recocking all the way. it would recock almost completly but would not fire, then i pulled the cocking handle back again, it would fire. i just put a new hammer in, so it wasnt that, which led me to believe it was the sear. i opened it up, took a piece of q-tip shaft, and put it in the hole in the sear so it wouldnt slide back and forth. i took it out yesterday put it on full-autp and shot an entire 20 oz through with only one problem, my tank had a block of dry ice inside it, and the tank was frozen inside the harness. i then found out that tippmann makes a replacement sear with a circle hole instead of oval, but the q-tip is a good quick fix.
i'll be a good boy and ask to have this stickied for a couple weeks this time. it seems like a lot of people are having this same problem, so i though this would help. i guess i'll only post this in one place as well, man, im on a roll!

text: Radiation Therapy Radiation therapy is the use of high-energy X-rays to treat cancer. About half of all cancer patients will receive radiation therapy at some point in their treatment. If you are concerned with how radiation may affect your health, Jefferson physicians have made great strides in reducing the effects of radiation on normal tissue surrounding the tumor being treated. As a result, in many cases, fatigue is the only significant side effect of radiation therapy and other side effects are limited to the area being treated. Advanced Radiation Therapies Radiation oncologists at the Bodine Center for Radiation Therapy / Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have developed several new cancer treatments and have helped pioneer the use of advanced radiation therapies that precisely target cancerous tumors. Radiation therapies help a significant number of our patients realize cures, while successfully slowing the progress of cancers for many others. Our state-of-the-art image-based planning and treatment systems offer a more targeted delivery of therapies. Some of the advanced radiation therapies offered at Jefferson include: Brachytherapy – a procedure that involves implanting tiny radioactive seeds at the site of the tumor, which, compared with external radiation therapy, allow for a higher dose of radiation to be safely administered Conformal radiation therapy – uses computers to create a 3-D picture of the tumor so that multiple radiation beams can be shaped exactly to the contour of the treatment area, sparing normal tissue. External radiation therapy – a high-energy beam is directed at the tumor site for a few minutes during each treatment over a period of weeks. Intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) – involves the delivery of a large dose of radiation directly to a tumor exposed through surgery Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) – delivers radiation doses that precisely fit the 3-D shape of a tumor. It also tightly regulates the intensity of the radiation to more closely target the tumors and spare surrounding tissue. Radioembolization – a breakthrough treatment that delivers radiation directly to tumors via microscopic glass bubbles filled with a radioactive material called yttrium-90. These tiny bubbles cut off blood supply to the tumor and destroy cancerous cells that cannot be treated by other means. Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) – a new generation arc therapy technique that establishes new standards for treatment speed and dose conformity. Why Choose Jefferson for Radiation Therapy in Philadelphia? Jefferson is also home to the region's busiest radiation oncology center, which is visited by more than 2,000 cancer patients a year. Specializing in specific types of tumors and therapies, our radiation oncologists are continually improving patient outcomes by providing carefully coordinated and sequenced therapies in concert with surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation biologists and medical physicists. TrueBeam System for Cancer Treatment In pursuit of the highest quality care, Jefferson continues to utilize the latest advancements in radiotherapy technology. The most recent addition to the radiation delivery equipment offered in the Bodine Center for Radiation Therapy is the TrueBeam™ system. This linear accelerator, or LINAC, is capable of delivering fast and precise 3-D image-guided radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer. Treatments focus powerful radiation on the tumor while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. We will be installing our second TrueBeam accelerator and anticipate this machine to be fully operational in late summer. TrueBeam is able to deliver radiation through many forms of advanced techniques including image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and RapidArc™ radiotherapy technology. Treatments that once took 10 to 30 minutes can now be completed in less than two minutes. The newly renovated treatment LINAC room is also equipped with an advanced communications system. The therapist running the system remains in constant contact with you while your selection of music plays through the audio system to put you at ease.

Junior hires Martin's engineer

09:54 AM ET 12.09 | That change in engineering on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s team that Earnhardt talked about a little last week but wouldn't go into details? He got Mark Martin's engineer. Chris Heroy, moves to join Dale Jr.'s team to be the race engineer there. He replaces Tom Stewart, who moves into a position where he'll work with both the 88 and the 5 team.
The problem isn't that Junior has zero talent, the problem is that he spends too much time drinking and partying with his friends and not enough time in the gym working out like top drivers do anymore. He keeps himself in terrible physical shape.
Add in that he has so many other activities. One of the few things wicked stepmom was accurate about was when she said he needed to decide if he wanted to be a race car driver or a celebrity who happens to drive race cars.
While at first the idea of taking or merging input from the #5 team with the #88 team may have sounded logical, it now shows how much Mark Martin's team was hurt, along with the support for Martin, himself.
I would try to make Martin's team stronger, not weaker. The fans love Martin and who wouldn't want to see Mark win the "big one?" We all love him.
Now, we all love Junior too.
Hopefully, Mr Hendrick will rebuild the #5 team, and also build stronger the #88 team. How? Well, first have junior talk to the "Old Guard" of NASCAR. He will listen; they will talk. Next, re-evaluate. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Yes, but even in the heat of battle, it needs to be done. It may make sense, actually great sense, to bring Tony Eury Jr back to the pit box; either as co-crew chief, or as sole crew chief. Then, see what happens. Look for improvement in steps, not quantum leaps. Finally, maybe Mr Hendrick should look to put more into the #5 team. Does anyone remember where Mark Martin finished the last season???? Try second.
i wish people who know nothing about racing, would come to grips with the reality of chemistry,if you dont have it you are doomed to failure,little e can drive, its the other folks in the equation that have not come together.one day soon i hope it clicks, for all our sakes..

JR???? He hasn't a clue how to win without Daddy's cash help and stepmommie won't pay to see him win again. We except for the Wrangler #3 which was a joke, win bought by Henrick, Earnhart, and Childers money for the #3. The real race was for 2nd where the real money was

Go Tony !
#24 fan here and candidly, I am sick of hearing about Jr's reasons for not winning...
In all candor, he is not near as talented as any of the current Top 5 drivers in the sport and he easily has the best resources.
Hendrick has done everything in his power to make this guy successful and it still is not working.
If not for his massive popularity due to his daddy's name, he would be driving for one of the lessor programs in Nascar.
Yet, because of his marketability alone, he gets a plush ride...
It is only a matter of time until Hendrick moves on and lets him walk.
Jr better get his butt in the Top 10 this season, or his days will be numbered.

First of all (Race Fans) I want to say I Like Jr, And Would Enjoy if Jr Started Finishing Lets Just Say in the top Ten. After All Jr made more last year (30 million) 7 Million More Than The 4 Time Sprint Cup Champion J-J. And Jr Never won a race Last Year!. Jr Commented this past week that if he didn't start winning He was Going Back To The Dealership were he user to change oil , And he said he was going to take a Desk Job. His last name/ And trying to live up to his daddys stardom is going to sink Jr, Plus all the Drinking , Hanging out all nite with His Posse, The Commercials, Nite Clubs He owns In NC, Too much !! Jr needs to Take a Break from Drinking, Hanging out all nite with his Posse. If Jr wants to Race he needs to clean up his act, Stay away from his clubs , Jr can do the , Clubs, Posse's And all the other crap when he's 45, Jr use to blame Theresa, DEI, Use to say his Garage/ Eqpt was out dated, Now he has the Best of the Best. It's Always Something He's 35 going on 17 . At 35 time is running out, There Use to be a show called (Welcome Back Kotter), And There use to be a Student called Epstein who always had a Note(Excuse) for every reason he had a problem. Jr needs to put the plug in the Jug-Grow Up And Quit Pointing fingers, Take Responsibility And Drive , Drive , Drive. Or He Needs To Go Smoke a Big One & Live with his Twin (Kyle Petty). Grow Up or Quit Racing. Cup Fan
What language is this and can I get a translation?
I think jr should study films of his dad for driving tips. Hes not aggressive enough. Nascar doesnt penelize for rough driving anymore. just ask Kyle Busch,Harvick, and Edwards.
I think that Jr is the new Michael Waltrip!

To help him find his pit box?
I feel sorry for Mark Martin. When he had his own car, own team, etc. he finished second to Jimmy Johnson for the Cup championship. Then, Rick Hendrick, dare I say it, dismantled the team to help Jr..
I can't help but wonder if Rick had just left Mark alone would Mark be fighting for another championship today. If the changes had made significant improvement to a younger driver, then it would have been justified, but the only result was ruining Mark Martin's chances to run up front all the time.

as to jr. each team has gotten better,it is harder to win a race now days,as one can see by the
way each race has a new race winner. jr. is fine and he can drive a race car. and by the way,
dale sr. did not buy any races for jr. race hard and all else will happen.
There's NO QUESTION that MM is one of the MOST talented drivers EVER in NASCAR and stock car racing. His resume is OUTSTANDING and his IROC record is TOPS. Big E is second to Mark in IROC competition. Their accomplishments are second to none. Richard Petty never won ONE IROC event, let alone a IROC championship.
I think IROC type racing needs to be resurected, only make it available to the best of the best in NASCAR's three series of drivers. I would lay my money on Mark NOW to capture the wins and title if it could be done again. How about a slew of 10 cylinder dodge vipers for the drivers to tool around??
JR. Always has an excuse.He needs to quit whining and focus on the car,the team,the track, and RACING.
Well haters...for a driver that is riding off his daddy's coat tails, or is the next Michael Waltrip, or whatever foolish thing you can come up with think about this... Do some research and find out how Dale Sr taught Jr by NOT giving him everything from the start. He has 2 championships and more wins under his belt than most drivers n the top 2 series. By the way, she is he in points and where is your driver? Enough Said!

Junior is a great driver and I'm sick of hearing everyone complain about him. He earned everything that he has. Nothing was given to him. He's humble and he doesn't have his head in the clouds. He is one of the few drivers that stays to the end to sign autographs for his fans. If you think you can do better let's see ya'll jump in his racecar. Otherwise quit complaining.
JR's a great driver and I'm THE POPE! TRD!!!

India Inks
What is India Ink? Simply, India Ink is black ink used for writing or drawing.
The first formulas for black India Ink were developed in China in BC. Pigments would be ground into hide glue and a wet brush would spread the black mixture. The carbon black pigment later came from India, hence the name India Ink. The terminology has stuck.
Enjoy these rich black 'Inda' inks.

Fulham 3
Woodrow 18mins, Dalle Verde 55mins, Tankovic 78mins.
City 2
Nemane 70mins, 85mins
- Match reports
- 22 September 2012 13:31
- Posted by Mark Booth
Despite a brilliant second half performance and a dream debut for Aaron Nemane, City went down 3-2 to Fulham at Motspur Park on Saturday afternoon.
14-year old Nemane, who has shone in the early weeks of the season for the under-16s, came on as a second half substitute but the winger's two goals were not enough to claim a point against early season pace-setters Fulham.
City were able to call upon the services of England youth international Dominic McHale for the first time this season after he recovered from a long-term injury but Fulham made it four wins from four despite the Blues' brilliant second half performance.
Fulham have swept all before them away so far this season, hitting the back of the net 16 times in just three games, so the narrow nature of the scoreline, the valiant defending on show as well as the the players returning from injury and making debuts meant that it was a defeat that almost felt like a win for the Blues.
Fulham dominated possession in the first half and took the lead after 18 minutes. Good work from Pat Roberts gave top scorer Cauley Woodrow the chance to tuck home his seventh goal of the season from close range.
Shortly after half-time the hosts doubled their advantage through Lyle Della Verde who collected a pass from George Williams before unleashing an unstoppable drive into the top corner from 25 yards.
City were outstanding in the second half, especially when you consider the young average age of the squad.
This impressive performance earned its reward when Nemane capped a fine counter attacking move with a clinical finish to half the deficit with 20 minutes left.
Only Max Oberschmidt in the Fulham goal denied City a deserved equaliser when he rushed off his line to keep Sinan Bytiqi from notching his first City goal on another good counter.
As so often is the case at 2-1, the next goal in the match was going to be the crucial one and unfortunately for City, it was Fulham's Muamer Tankovic who got it on the 80 minute mark.
But no-one gave Nemane that script and the talented forward got his second of the game with a header to set up a nervy denouement for Steve Wrigley's Fulham side.
City are next in action at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday morning.

David Mogil, owner of Damn Yankees Steak/Fish & Oyster Bar in Anniston, said he is in the process of buying the former Huddle House restaurant at 2190 Almon St. in Heflin to expand into Cleburne County.
"It's great up there. I love it," Mogil said.
He said the sale should close later this month. Gary Gaines, the listing agent for the property confirmed that Mogil is in negotiations for the building.
Mogil said once the sale goes through, he's not sure how long it will take to open the new restaurant. He's still trying to get financing to renovate and open. But he hopes to open Damn Yankees Steak, Ribs & Wings Sports Bar. It will be the same concept as his decade-old Anniston restaurant, but with a less extensive menu, Mogil said.
The Huddle House has been closed for approximately two years. The last business license bought for the restaurant was in 2010, but it was open for part of the 2011, according to staff at Heflin City Hall.
The building needs a lot of work, Mogil said. But he's not afraid of the work, he said. The restaurant in Anniston also needed a lot of work before he opened, Mogil said.
Mogil said he sees opportunity in Cleburne County.
"They keep growing," Mogil said. "And it's true growth, things that never existed."

|Had a lovely weekend working in my back yard, and while it still needs tons of work, it's showing hints of the peaceful green retreat I dreamed of. Here's what I started with almost 3 years ago:
Follow-Up Postings:
|For two summers my hosta flourished here, but for some reason this northeast corner has been exceptionally bright this year, and I had to remove my blue hostas. Still, what's left is doing fairly well.
|This bed of Royal Standard hosta, Palace Purple heuchera and woodruff has been thinned twice already. When the hosta blooms it's pretty heady!
|Still a lot to do; I want to put a water feature up against the neighbor's garage; I'm got some succulents rooting in brightly stained frames to hang like pictures on the fence; I've started some vines on the fence posts and am looking for a large plastic mirror to hang behind that -- a little touch of mystery with a faux window. I'd like to figure out a way to bring out the tender ferns for the summer. and I still need to bring the chairs for the patio table up out of the basement.
But it really is a wonderful space, despite it's size. My neighbor to the west has large trees in his shady, overgrown garden. And it seems that no matter how hot and still it is, there's always a bit of a breeze coming from that side. This is the only outside my cats have, and it's lovely to come out early in the morning with a cup of coffee and the newspaper.
Hard to believe it's less than 2 miles from the center of town, 200 yards to a major hospital -- and only 350 square feet!
|alison - it's very pretty - good work. But you have all those fences and walls naked! I see a whole mass of growing opportunities not being used. I can envisage clematis, climbing beans, jasmine, morning glories, roses ....... my garden is not much different in size and I can't see the walls for most of the year. You have a whole lot of vertical space still to expand in. And that lovely bannister post just crying out for a vine.
|True! And that's where I'm going next. I've got vines started at the bases of all the posts, and this weekend began 2 large size sedum "pictures". It will take a few weeks for those to establish, but then they will hang on two of those fence 'walls'. (The outer frames are stained bright red and purple, so I think they'll be a nice focal point all year.
I have plans to put in two posts on either side of the large bed of royal standard hosta, with a bar running between them for hanging baskets or pots, to fill in that large blank brick wall.
The trick is to not make it feel closed in, or claustraphobic. (I get chokey easily!) I'm thinking of trying an espaliered tree on the neighbor's garage wall, something with some real impact, but that you can still see thru.
And still have room for the clothesline!
|So pretty!
|Your yard is delightful. I can imagine sitting there on a warm day with my beverage of choice, enjoying the various colors and textures.
One thing I would do if it were my garden is add some punches of color somewhere. In the second picture you posted I can see your cooler and some bright blue pots and the red plant support and a pink flower. Those little flashes of vivid color make the whole area more interesting. Now I realized that your cooler is not there all the time (probably) (smiling), but it points out that just a bit of color, like one amazing planter or pot, or splash of color painted on the wall can make the area more appealing.

Looks great. What about your roof. Looooots of wasted space, or do you have anything up there. Does 6b by chance refer to inner city Cincinnasti. Please don't let my wife see your yard or I have to answer up to her for my yard is still a mess. .

|Steven -- Awesome roof garden! What an incredible job. And I recognize the general area -- I grew up in Cincinnati, and lived in Mt. Auburn, Walnut Hills and Northside before moving to Columbus. That is really inspirational! I wish I could go for the roof, but it's a three story house -- and the roof is a long ways away. Still, that doesn't mean I can't grow up more....
Thanks for the kind words, amanda; I do love my little space. And I think you're right about a little more color. I had read in some article on small gardens that you should limit the color palette to two colors -- which was just too restrictive. I was going for green, cream and touches of dark purple, but you're right -- the "accidental" color like the cooler really pops -- which shows the need for more color.
Shortly after I took these pictures, I put in a few bright coleus, and I'll do that again this year. I had some success with cypress vine and hyacinth bean vine covering some of the bare expanse of wood. Alas, this is on the north side of the house and the sun in the pictures is about all it gets. So flora's suggestion of roses and jasmine unfortunately won't fly. (Even the Zephrine Drouhin and Gruss und Achen I tried there didn't do well. They hung on -- but only barely, and will be moving to the sunnier front of the house this summer.) I am on the look out for more shade tolerant vines. If I can get a bed going alongside my neighbor red garage, I'd love to have another sweet autumn clematis -- I had one at my old place that grew to the top of a two story apartment building!
Thanks for all the positive feedback -- the work in progress continues to progress!
|poncirusguy, what's the long vine growing down from the balcony?
|Your yard is fantastic. I love it! Wish I could do more with mine, but it's a rental, and the landlords seem to want it to stay boring. XP Thinking of asking them again if they would mind a few minor adjustments. I really love all the greenery you have, Very peaceful.

Those are green striped crawshaws on the west side. On the south side they are jubilee watermelon on the north side is a jubilee watermelon of about 10 lb and on the east side there are butternut squash. The west side has by far the longest which are green striped cushaws.

|Will do! I've been focuing a lot on my front yard in the sun, and I'm moving things around in the back to accomodate my sudden, inexplicable addition to hostas -- but I'll post some pictures as I go.
I'd love to see what you're doing with your space, too!

UK popstar Jessie J took to the stage at the V Festival in Berkshire, England.
The singer recently wowed the audience at the Olympics closing ceremony and has racked up huge album sales since. In fact, all the performers at the London ceremony saw spikes in record sales, according to reports.
Not that Jessie J has anything to worry about ... the 24-year-old is on top of the charts with her single, Price Tag.
JJ took to Twitter after the gig, writing: "Perfect way to end my 2012 Summer Shows in 30 degree heat dancing and singing with 20k people! Thank you Newbury for an amazing day :) x"

In my previous piece (FORENSICS 175: MASS SPECTROMETERS), I mentioned that, if enough readers wished to tread on the probabilistic terrain where dwell atomic electrons, that I might consider exploring their actions from a perspective of quantum theory. I saw no hands go up until shortly after I had published the piece. Our very own Thomas (Sully) Sullivan then waved his hand.
For those who might not have read my previous piece, I have included the following three paragraphs from it.
Fans of the forensic investigation dramas on television have probably noticed various instruments used in crime laboratories to analyze evidence. One has likely been used to identify constituents of various substances and is known as a mass spectrometer. Such instruments appear to be quite complicated, but their ability to perform their duty basically hinges on the simple fact that electrically charged particles moving through a magnetic field are forced into a curved path. Measuring the radius of the curvature provides information used to identify the constituents, and that is basically what the instrument does to earn its cost.
Readers who have had the good fortune to have had classes in physical sciences might recall that molecules are formed of two or more atoms. Classical physics describes most atoms as comprising nuclei containing positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. Negatively charged electrons dwell outside the nucleus. According to classical physics, electrons live in orbits and revolve around the nucleus much like planets circling a star. Quantum theory paints a different picture of electron actions that is more complex. If enough readers wish to tread on the probabilistic terrain of quantum theory, I might consider exploring it. (I don't see any hands going up, so I will put that subject aside.)
Readers might also recall that, in addition to electrically charged particles, there are such things as electric and magnetic fields. An electric field may be thought of as being a force created per unit of electric charge. A magnetic field may be thought of in terms of a mathematical description of the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials. The fields might also be thought of as the source of action at a distance.
Be prepared to open your mind, because we will be dipping a toe tip into the atomic and subatomic world of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics has been defined as being a branch of physics that deals with the structure and behavior of molecules, atoms, subatomic particles and their interactions with light. It is a world where, for example, two particles that once interacted can remain linked even when moved light years apart. This "entanglement" is what Einstein referred to as spooky action at a distance. Additional, apparently impossible actions include particles appearing and disappearing and tunneling through matter. Particles can also behave like particles and also like waves. A common laboratory experiment has an electron pass through two parallel slits simultaneously, thus displaying its wave property.
Nobel-Prize-winning, theoretical physicist Richard P. Feynman, held to be one of the top ten physicists of all time, reportedly stated that nobody completely understood quantum theory. In spite of this, quantum theory provides extremely accurate predictions of subatomic-scale phenomena.
The word "quantum gained popularity not too long ago and has been used in many ways. In the world of physics, the word "quantum" usually refers to the smallest, discrete amount of a physical property, for example, matter or energy.
As a brief review, an atom comprises a nucleus containing one or more positively charged protons and zero or more uncharged neutrons. A standard-model atom includes one or more electrons circling the nucleus in orbits that are specific distances from the nucleus. Neutrally charged atoms are those whose positive and negative electric charges are equal. Those that are not equal are known as positive or negative ions. Forms of elements that differ from those having the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons, are known as isotopes.
As mentioned in the second, italicized paragraph, quantum theory does not describe electrons revolving about an atom's nucleus in specific orbits. This would allow certain pairs of physical properties, known as complementary variables, such as position and momentum, to be known at the same time. Knowing the two variables simultaneously would also allow future positions to be determined. Such knowledge is prohibited according to what is known as the uncertainty principle. As the accuracy of knowing the location of a particle, such as an electron, increases, the accuracy of knowing its momentum decreases and vice versa. As mentioned in the second italicized paragraph, the terrain of quantum theory is probabilistic. For example, one can know, at the same time, only the probability of an electron being in a certain place and having a certain momentum.
Due to the wave nature of quantum objects as presently interpreted, it follows that the uncertainty principle is a fundamental property of quantum systems.
In a quantum world, closely disposed around each atom's nucleus, rather than specific orbits, are volumes of space within which are points each of which bears a probability of being the location of an electron. The volumes represent the probabilistic terrain mentioned in the second italicized paragraph. The volumes are often referred to as electron clouds. They are more formally known as orbitals.
That particles can also behave like waves is known as wave-particle duality. Its significance resides in the fact that the behavior of light and matter can be described using a differential equation representing a wave function. Differential equations are means of expressing the laws of nature mathematically. A wave function is a variable quantity that mathematically describes the characteristics of a particle. The mathematical square of the wave function can be used to calculate the probability of finding an electron of an atom at a specific point and time in any specific, localized region.
Although most atomic electrons live fairly close to their nucleuses, if you want to be 100 percent certain that an electron is in an orbital, be aware that the orbital must be the size of the Universe.
An electron is a subatomic particle having a negative electric charge. Since electrons have no known substructure, they and their electric charges are considered to be elementary. Protons are small, only about 1.6 to 1.7 x 10^-15 (1.6 to 1.7 times 10 to the minus 15th power) meters in diameter. They have a mass of only 1.6726 x 10^- 27 kilograms, but that is some1836 times the mass of an electron. Neutrons are just a bit more massive than protons. They have a mass of 1.6749 x 10^-27 kilograms.
Quantum mechanics is not merely an academic exercise. It has practical applications that are familiar to nonscientists. Among these are the electron microscope, the laser, the transistor (including diodes) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Quantum tunneling is used to erase memory cells of flash memory chips.
This piece addresses quantum electron orbitals, but Quantum theory also relates to the following subjects and more:
Quantum chemistry
Quantum chromodynamics
Quantum computing
Quantum electrodynamics
Quantum electroweak interaction
Quantum field theory (within which a number of the other subjects reside)
Quantum gravity
Quantum optics
By the way, the title of this piece is but a play on a few of Shakespeare's famous words. Some who have read or seen a production of the play, Romeo and Juliet, think that, by asking the famous question, "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" Shakespeare's character, Juliet, is asking where Romeo is. Actually. she is more accurately asking why he must have a last name (Montague) that is the name of a family feuding with her family, which has a different last name (Capulet). Juliet later states that "Tis but thy name that is my enemy" and "O be some other name." and "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet." The title of this piece, of course, asks where an electron might be.

RENO — Washoe County Schools Superintendent Heath Morrison said Thursday he made the "incredibly difficult decision" to leave the Reno area to accept a job as superintendent of schools in Charlotte, N.C., partly because he and his wife have family there.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education confirmed earlier Thursday it offered the position to Morrison, pending formal contract negotiations and approval by the school board expected next week.
Morrison said in a letter to colleagues posted on the Reno Gazette-Journal's web site Thursday the reason he decided to pursue the job after turning down "other such opportunities, is both family-related and professional."
"My wife and I have family near Charlotte, and I have a deep respect for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools as an educational system," Morrison said. "This decision has weighed heavy on my heart, but I believe this opportunity is the right one for my family."
Other finalists for the job were Charlotte schools administrator Ann Clark and Memphis City Schools leader Kriner Cash.
Morrison was named the National Superintendent of the Year in 2012 by the American Association of School Administrators. He began his career in Maryland as a teacher and administrator in Charles and Montgomery counties before taking the Reno job in 2009.
Washoe County school board President Ken Grein told the Gazette-Journal before Thursday's announcement that if Morrison accepted the new job the board would want to begin a search for a replacement as soon as possible. He said the district's standards for candidates will be high becaus Reno supe takes top job in Charlotte schools e Morrison "has raised the bar on what the board expects from a superintendent."
Morrison said in his letter to teachers and administrators that one of the reasons he decided to accept the new job is "because of the foundation we've created together in Washoe County School District. "
"Our educational improvement efforts have never been about one person. It is about the 7,400 employees who are all dedicated to "every child, by name and face, to graduation,'" he wrote. "It was an incredibly difficult decision. However, I can say without hesitation the passionate work of educating all children in Washoe County will carry on."
Morrison said it is important for the local community to give the school board credit for positive changes that have helped the district weather budget cuts and tough economic times.
"Our schools are led by dedicated principals who will continue to push for excellence. Our classrooms are filled with talented teachers who do extraordinary work every day educating our children," he wrote.
"Thank you for everything you do for our children every day."

Ok, let me explain what I try to achieve. I want to sync a subset of my songs/movies in my master itunes database to another mac computer in a master/slave relationship, similar to how the Apple TV works.
The iTunes database on the slave computer should be updated with the same rating, playcount, etc just like the AppleTV does.
I have 3 mac's. My "master" itunes db (with all music and video now over 300GB large) is on "mac number 1", I now want the two other mac's (mac 2 and mac 3) to show up in my master itunes in the same way as an appleTV does. in other words, I can now set which subset of music, playlist, movies I want to sync from my master to mac 2, and mac3 which are both portable computers.
Which files do I have to copy from my AppleTV to my mac 2 and mac 3 so that they show up in my iTunes on my master mac as if they were AppleTV's?
Should be standard functionality provided by Apple, but it isn't, so any ideas on how to achieve this?

He went on to explain that traditionally elementary teachers are expected to teach multiple different subjects yet are expected to provide the same quality instruction in each of those classes as a teacher assigned to teach one or two subjects.

In my opinion, to take more money from the pockets of Morgan residents demonstrates arrogance of the Morgan school board members and Superintendent who want to preserve or expand the status quo rather than looking for ways to cut programs, eliminate waste, and better manage existing tax revenue.

50 East North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT | Directions 8415040.770438 -111.891087
Daily 9am-9pm
Neighborhoods: Capitol Hill
Can we convert you? – Beautiful place, but all they want to do is convert you, or at least have your contact info so they can do so later. Its unfortunate so many people equate Utah and Mormons, there is so much more to do in Salt Lake City and Utah as a whole than the Mormon experience. The skiing is world class, hence the 2002 Winter Olympics.
The best – I realy injoy going to temple squar
The block around which Salt Lake City was built. – Overview
This 10-acre block located in the middle of downtown Salt Lake City is one of the most popular tourist spots in Utah. Within its 15-foot walls are two visitor centers (one houses an 11-foot marble replica of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen's "The Christus"), the Tabernacle, the Assembly Hall and several monuments and statues.
The Experience
Free 45-minute tours of the square begin every five to 10 minutes at the 100-foot flagpole in the center of the block. Guides are happy to provide translators for visitors who don't speak English. In addition, the giant Jesus statue speaks more than 20 languages. At Christmastime, Temple Square is packed with lights (more than 300,000) and visitors (too many to count).
Fantastic – Visiting temple square is an awesome experience regardless of religious belief. It is an inspiration to see what dedicated american pioneers accomplished. The buildings are very ornate and stand strong showing the commitment and dedication these people put into their work. The tour helped me understand the how the city and state were begun, and some insight into what the mormons beleive. The religious info. was by no means preaching but more an explanation of why those beliefs inspired the people to work the way they did. I also learned how helpful the mormons are in researching my family history. I'm very glad I took the time to pull off the I-15 and find out what makes Utah what it is.
Heavenly – I love it. It is probably one of the most beautifully kept property I have ever seen. I love it at Christmas with all of the lights. It is amazing to see little flowers peeking up through the snow. I thought I was seeing things but no they were real. I really feel that it is as close to heaven as I am ever going to get. The protestors are a little overwhelming. I didn't appreciate what they were doing but once inside the walls of Temple Square you don't even notice them.
Absolutely beautiful – I've always thought Temple Square is beautiful in summer. I saw it last December for the first time at Christmas and was blown away by the beauty.
The missionaries are always well-informed, friendly and helpful. I'm not LDS, and I've never felt pressured in any way by the missionaries -- you give respect, you get respect.
Temple Square is so wonderful! I love the peaceful feelings I have when I walk around Temple Square. All of the volunteers are very helpful to answer any questions that one might have. I love the beauty that surrounds the area! If you are in the Salt Lake area, you must see Temple Square!
Very nice – I really liked visiting this most impressive place. I have been all over the U.S. and can think of no other city in which the middle of town is centered around such an impressive building. It really stands out. The only thing I did not like were those who apparently oppose the Mormons taunting and yelling some rather awful things at other visitors. I would go on days when I could avoid these horrible, fundementalist whakos!
awesome at christmas – the salt lake temple is so beutiful at christmas time. the lights are very pretty. and the grounds are so pieceful. a great place for serenity .
Awesome – You just feel good when you go there. All the staff are very helpful and knowlagable.

I have purchased cheap ones in the past and the kids have destroyed them. this one is a better quality. I bought 2 and gave one to my son, he is a mechanic. He has used different brands and he said this one works the best.

My son is constantly working in our garage. He uses a lot of various screws and nails that seem to end up on the garage floor and many times under cabinets. This is perfect for corralling all the loose parts and for reaching underneath things.

This is good to have around if you work with small metallic stuff like screws and nuts and bolts since if you lose them in some corner or hard to reach places you can use this pick it up. It would be better if it had a longer reach and the tip was smaller but I guess the latter may be undoable given it's a magnet. May also be useful for picking up metallic stuff that you don't want to touch for being too hot or dirty.

This magnet is super powerful in a small package. The rubber-feel grip handle is very useful and feels great in hand. The magnet end has a small moveable collar that protects the magnet from sticking to unwanted surfaces when sticking it through tight spaces. But once your ****** is selected the collar just pushes back and the magnet grabs a easily. VERY useful!

I purchased this model years ago and it was great. I lost it so I purchased another. The new one looks the same, but the wand feels thinner and has looser tolerances. It flexes quite a bit under it's own weight. My last one was far more rigid. I didn't expect a rock solid item at $5-6, just decent. It might work ok, but to me tools should not feel flimsy. I just don't feel confident that the wand will stay together or fold like a piece of origami. I also purchased the more expensive black version and other than the color they are the same thing, just comes in a package.

It came as no surprise when National Geographic listed the beaches of Barcelona as the world's greatest. Nothing quite beats taking a refreshing dip after a long day spent exploring the city. Since the Olympics in 1992, Barcelona has invested enormous sums to keep the sand and water clean. And it shows!
Bogatell is one of Barcelona's most popular beaches. It is connected to a long stone boulevard that is ideal for running, skating or cycling. Due to the raised promenade you hardly notice the city traffic. The beach clubs at Bogatell often have a relaxed vibe and play trendy music.
The city's longest beach, Barceloneta features lots of hip bars serving tasty snacks and drinks. La Barceloneta is mainly popular with tourists and groups of young residents, making it one of the most crowded (and social) beaches of Barcelona. La Barceloneta offers plenty of recreational facilities, including three beach-volley courts, table tennis and playground equipment for kids.
This beach with coarse sand is located closest to the Olympic marina, and is perfect for people who want to end a day of sunshine with a sumptuous dinner. The adjoining boulevard offers various high-quality beach clubs, popular restaurants and many bars. Nova Icaria is much loved by families with kids and groups of friends. The beach borders on the popular nightlife district of El Puerto Olímpico and is easily accessible.
The beach of San Sebastiá, located between the Vela Hotel and the Barceloneta district, is one of the city's longest. San Sebastiá is relatively quiet compared to the other beaches, and attracts slightly older visitors. Popular among watersport enthusiasts such as windsurfers and sailors, the beach is also easily accessible to the disabled.
Mar Bella is a small beach that mainly attracts young visitors. The first part features the only nudist beach in the city. Nearby is a small park that is perfect for a picnic or siesta in the shade. Just behind Bogatell is a basketball court and a special zone for skaters. Other popular activities include windsurfing, sailing and kayaking, for which the equipment can be rented on site.

The U.S. Postal Service recently announced that it would study approximately 3,700 postal retail facilities which are candidates for consolidation. Many policymakers and Postal Service customers have expressed concern over the effect these potential consolidations will have on access to postal services and as well as the social life of rural communities where the local post office acted as a gathering point for the community. In an attempt to address some of these concerns, the Postal Service revealed plans to offer its services through authorized third party vendors, including drug stores, grocery stores, and office supply stores. These Village Post Offices (VPO) would be operated by the vendor and sell popular products and services such as stamps and flat-rate packaging. The Postal Service's primary benefit would be lower labor and facilities maintenance costs from replacing traditional, free-standing post offices with Village Post Offices. There are also potential benefits to consumers. First, postal services could be more conveniently accessed by customers who already patronize the third party vendors. Second, the co-location may actually help to strengthen community ties. Third, the VPOs may be open longer hours. However, there may also be drawbacks to switching from traditional post offices to VPOs. First, the quality and level of service may vary between communities as VPOs would be managed by many different private vendors. In addition, as with any effort involving public-private partnerships, oversight issues may arise. Finally, because VPOs will be operated by private vendors, the role of the post office as a public space may be lost. Are Village Post Offices a viable substitute for tradition postal retail facilities? Can service standards be maintained? Which type of vendors do you believe would be most suitable as a host for a VPO?

Think for a moment about your most recent visit to a store. How late was it open? Where was it located? Now think about the last time you visited a Post Office? Were there any differences between the two experiences? While retail and the society at large have changed tremendously in the last 40 years, the size and distribution of the Postal Service retail network today is not that different from the network that existed in 1971. It has not changed to reflect the changes in where and how Americans live today.
Why is this? An OIG paper issued today, Barriers to Retail Network Optimization, highlights some of the obstacles to change:• Statutory restrictions prevent closing Post Offices for economic reasons and impose requirements for notice, consultation, and appeal procedures. • Regulatory procedures and interpretations create burdens on the Postal Service's ability to make adjustments. • Political obstacles to rightsizing result from the natural inclination of affected groups to protest the loss of local Post Offices. • Institutional barriers within the Postal Service prevent action. These include a lack of sustained focus over time on retail optimization, problems with the availability and quality of data, past dependence on a highly decentralized bottom-up process, and the absence of a well-articulated strategic retail vision. What changes would you like to see to the Postal Service's retail network? What do you think are the biggest barriers to change? We want to hear from you. This blog is hosted by the OIG's Risk Analysis Research Center (RARC).

[dropcap style="font-size: 60px; color: #9b9b9b;"]I[/dropcap]n fiscal year 2009, the U.S. Postal Service spent more than $149 million in manufacturing, shipping, and fulfillment costs for Express Mail® and Priority Mail® packaging supplies. The Postal Service, like FedEx, provides these supplies at no cost to customers and the public. The packaging is Postal Service property and, therefore, should only be used to send Express and Priority mail packages. However, some customers use the boxes, envelopes, and labels for other purposes and in some cases, customers use the packaging to mail items using the Postal Service's competitors. This adds additional costs to the Postal Service and violates federal law. The question is balancing the desire to control costs with maintaining the convenience that customers desire. The Postal Service must ensure the supplies it provides are used appropriately, but what's the best way to do this? Are the savings worth the logistics and costs of monitoring and the inconvenience for customers? How do competitors monitor the use of packaging supplies? This topic is hosted by the Office of Audit Field Financial – West team.
