The most honorable way to pursue this endeavor would have been to provide practical and attractive alternatives to the President's plans, sell them well, and convince the American public that a political change is the best way to bring them about. The most effective way to pursue this endeavor, however, is to demonize the President, energize and welcome those whose platform includes racist fear and hate, bring government as close as possible to a standstill, and, through neglect, create an unhappy electorate that will vote for almost anything if they believe that something will happen as a result. The Republicans clearly and openly chose this route three years ago, and the Democrats are only now—slowly, softly and respectfully—beginning to call them out.
For the Democrats, it's far too little, far too late. Many Minnesotans seem surprised that the contentious political situation at the national level seems similar to the situation at the state level. It's not a coincidence at all. It's a well planned and so far brilliantly executed political strategy, and it's happening all over the country.
While the most visible Republican action—or inaction—has occurred since the beginning of the Obama presidency, it's a culmination of a long-term strategy. Some would say it goes back as long as 30 years. The apparent motive—limiting the size and role of government—can and will be argued, and all sides will have meritorious points. However, spending decades of time and all available political capital to stop things from happening takes its toll. Government investments, such as the ones contemplated in the President's jobs program, do more than stimulate the economy. They can give people something to hang their American hats upon.
After World War II, the war hero and conservative republican President Dwight Eisenhower saw this need, and pushed for what is probably the most far-reaching public works program in history, the interstate highway system. As a nation, we certainly made some mistakes in pursuit of those highways, but we built them, and we use them to the extreme, and we argue mightily about ways to expand them or to provide other transportation options that will ease the strain on them. Planning, designing, building and maintaining them has created and maintained innumerable jobs in the public and private sectors.
In the ensuing years, we worked hard as a nation to eliminate racism. We provided medical care for the elderly. We improved the public education system and expanded aid programs to allow more people access to post-secondary education. We made a national commitment to explore space, and have reaped enormous technological and research benefits from that commitment.
With the notable exception of the Americans With Disabilities Act that was passed in the early 1990s, it's hard to come up with examples of the American government investing in plans and ideas that will make America and the world better places in future years. (The "war on terror," while commanding great amounts of the national treasure, quickly lost its ability to inspire national unity and shows little promise toward ending either war or terror.) Even many of our more progressive politicians pay major lip service to the idea that governments must stop investing in people.They might call it "deficit reduction" or "bringing spending under control," but it all means the same thing. Progressive investment seems to be off the table.
At the local level, many people seem to believe they can't have much impact on the national debate, and they may be right. We can long for great things to happen at the international, national and state levels, but it appears unlikely that the near future will bring about much progress. People at the local level can, however, do a lot to slowly but steadily bring about progress; doing what they can do, using the power and authority they already have.
We can, at the local level, create the building blocks of tomorrow's greatness. We might not have billions to invest, maybe it's only thousands. It's critical, however, to realize that any progress that's made in the foreseeable future will likely be at the local level. That means city council meetings, board and commission meetings, even neighborhood organization meetings are more important than ever. It means local elections are more important than ever.
We can do things to improve education. We can do things to protect the environment. We can do things in ensure equality of rights and opportunity. They might not be the great, national tasks that drove America in earlier decades. But they're things we can do. Great things can come from St. Paul and from Washington, D.C., but they're not destined to come until the current political wrangling has run its course. What we call "the politics of nothing" has been building strength for 30 years now, and doesn't seem ready to yield to progress any time soon.
Where will progress come from? As our editorials often say, "Look in a mirror."

Let your girl decide which adorably spooky beast she wants, and she'll be ecstatic that her Halloween wishes came true.
As well as the costumes, we also have Monster High makeup kits that will help your girl further her look.

They actually made sten bolts out of bronze at one time, I think with mild steel you'll be fine in your project, maybe heat it up and dump oil on it if you want to...
yes the brits did make some early bolts with bronze, but it needs to be stated that when these were made 1, the brits were in fear is a invation from the german's and 2, the brits were short on raw steel to make parts with, i.e. what ever they had to go bang with was used. bronze can be used if one did not have better to start off with.
How is it cheaper to buy 4130?? is it that expensive to case harden???? 4130 is not cheap especulY FOR 1 1/4" square stock.. seems like we dis some case hardeniong in metal shop back in the day and the steel was heted rolled in some type of casbon powder and quenched dont recall exactly. as far as the stens they were throw away guns made for like $15 I dpubt longevity was a issue. besides bronse will wear better than mlld steel on steel.Quote:
the cheeper thing to do is get some 4130 or 4140 make then heat treat.
that might be part of it but the brits did not have the steel to make a new bomber so thay used wood the palne was called the mosquito, all wood air frame it was a badass bomber
Mosquito fighter/bomber, Stirling bomber and the Typhoon fighter
my point was they were in "sucks to be you" in a big way and did not have the raw matreal to make a new bomber so they used what they had on hand.
big gun
Im not saying to case harden 4130. just heat,quench then a slow heat to draw out some of the temper. there is nothin wroung with case harding the extractor or using a bronze boldt just ther could be better choises out there. muttman
I see. I was jst pointing out that 4130 isint cheap. I was thinking if a normal steel bolt could be case hardend then it might be cheaper an easier. I dont have a forge to prperly temper and aneal a 1.5 pound bolt. small stuff maybe but it would be tought to do a entire bolt/carrier assembly with out a forge or some ting like that.. I am of course open to any ideas. When I get back from vacation Im going to do some barrels when the reamer shows up. and get started on a 7.62x25 f some sort. I got ammo and mags so it needs to get built.Quote:

Is Kasonite expensive??? seems like back in the day of high school metal shop we had a tub of some powderd carbon???? that we used. I cant remember what it was exactly but we did use it for doing some sort of case hardening.

The DMV says drivers going for their level 2 license have to complete 60 hours of driving with a supervisor, and they have to log every hour of it. Fewer hours are required for the level three license: 12 hours- half of them at night. Beyond the logging- harsher rules for teens who speed more than 15 over the limit or if they ever hit 80 miles an hour or more. Those speeding charges, reckless driving, or aggressive driving can land 18 and under drivers behind bars.
"You will be arrested. That means we will put handcuffs on you. You'll be transported to the magistrate's office. We've had 16 or 17-year-olds that have more than one ticket, and apparently they're not learning from that experience," said L. Alvarado with the Highway Patrol.
The new laws go into effect January 1st.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oklahoma City Thunder seem to be back on track and
will try for consecutive wins Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Thunder had lost two in a row and four of six games until handing the
Milwaukee Bucks a 101-85 setback Saturday night. Kevin Durant, who totaled 78
points in consecutive losses at Utah and Denver, pumped in 33 points versus
the Bucks and made 8-of-18 shots.
Durant also grabbed 10 rebounds and handed out seven assists, and leads the
NBA with 29.6 points per game. In his last five games, Durant is posting an
average of 36.0 ppg. He is questionable Tuesday with a left wrist ailment.
Serge Ibaka recorded 17 points with 17 rebounds and three blocks for the
Thunder, while Jeremy Lamb added 17 points off the bench. Thabo Sefolosha
contributed 14 points in the win.
"That was a shootout. I thought our offense was much better in the second
half. We haven't shot the ball well in the last three games but we finally got
going in the second half and passing is what woke us up. Everyone was sharing
the ball," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks.
The Thunder outrebounded the Bucks 58-40 and avoided losing three straight
games for the first time this season. They have dropped two in a row on the
road and will also visit Houston on this quick trip. Oklahoma City, which is
6-3 in games played after a loss, owns a 12-6 record as the guest.
Before losing to the Jazz in Salt Lake City last Tuesday, the Thunder had
registered eight straight road victories.
Memphis will close out a four-game homestand Tuesday and is 2-1 on the stay
after Zach Randolph powered the Grizzlies to a 108-101 victory over Atlanta on
Sunday at FedExForum.
Randolph posted his 23rd double-double and 20th in the last 27 games with 18
points and 12 rebounds. Mike Conley scored a team-high 21 points and handed
out 13 assists, while Mike Miller netted 15 points off the bench. Courtney Lee
also scored 15 points and both Tayshaun Prince and Kosta Koufos added 11
points for the Grizzlies, winners in seven of their last 11 games.
"We're starting to play better as a unit, which obviously breeds confidence,"
Miller said. "We're starting to win games like that, which helps. Right now,
we're plugging away and getting better."
Conley has been playing well lately and is averaging 27.3 ppg in his last
three games. He leads Memphis with 18.1 ppg and has scored 10 or more points
in all but two games this season.
The Grizzlies are 9-12 at home and received good news this week on reigning
Defensive Player of the Year Marc Gasol. Gasol returned to full practice and a
timetable for his return hasn't been set. The Grizzlies have played their last
23 games without Gasol, who was injured Nov. 22 versus San Antonio with an MCL
sprain in his left knee. Including the game Gasol went down, the Grizzlies
dropped 10 of the first 13 without him at full strength.
Gasol is averaging 16.0 points and 7.1 rebounds this season.
Memphis, which has scored 100-plus points in five straight games, suffered a
116-110 loss to Oklahoma City at home on Dec. 11, as Durant posted 18 points
and Conley netted 20. These two teams have split the last 10 meetings.

I approved your request/post. Good luck with it!

First off, this site is awesome. Chronicles of Sound is preparing for it's first release - Revolutions: Part I. It is a graphic novel and accompanying album that serves as a soundtrack to further develop the characters and places in the world of Amaris. We would like to have a world map of Amaris and hope someone here is interested in creating that map for us.
Amaris is a class M planet supporting humanoid life. The Golden Age of the civilization on the planet was based on mechanical technology. The scientists of the day found a way to harness the rotational energy of the planet and use it to power massive systems of gears that spread as far as the eye could see. There is a definite steampunk vibe, but it's not a full on steampunk setting.
The villain in the story sucked all of the rotational energy out of the planet thereby causing it to be in synchronous rotation with the star it orbits. One side of the planet faces the sun constantly, the other is shrouded in darkness. Much of the old technology is in ruins.
Description of Map
The map is a full world map. I have attached a really crappy mock up that we drew. This was just for us to get a grounding of how the world is generally laid out. We would like someone to take it and not just make it look good in terms of color/style/detail but also to make it more realistic in terms of land mass distribution and whatever other problems you see with the current iteration. Think of this as more of a basic template. We don't want to restrict someone's awesome ideas because it's not in our mockup. You are the expert.
I trolled around on this site for a while and found some work that we liked. Here are some examples (in no particular order):
- Full Color
- Vector graphic would be preferred
- If you don't work with vector graphics it would need to be sufficient size and resolution to be blown up to 24x36 and still look great
We would be using this image all over the place and selling posters of it, so we would need copyright. You would of course be free to display it for your own promotion/use.
We would like to have it completed in 2-3 months.
Negotiable, it really depends on your experience and turnaround time. Email me to discuss payment.

Chihuly added pieces to the display when he was in Denver for the exhibit's recent opening. In addition to all the multicolored glass flowers, reeds and balls sprinkled in the DBG's shrubs and ponds, he pumped up the sparkle in the O'Fallon Perennial Walk and popped more cattails and floaty things into the Saffron Tower installation.

Food: Eleven Smashed Things To Snack On!
Written by Pip Lincolne
Be Happy
1 Comment
Look at those potatoes. Oh my. Is there anything better than something cooked to perfection and then smooshed up and seasoned?! I think not! Avocado, potatoes, chickpeas, beans. Cauliflower, pumpkin, tomatoes, peas. All good things when they stand alone, but made infinitely more delicious when SMASHED!
I'm quite partial to smashed anything, and my Nanna still says 'Can you smash the potatoes?' instead of 'mash the potatoes' so I think there might be a nostalgic pull to the word for me.
But it's not JUST the word. It's the action and the delicious reaction the smashed thing has when squished and melded with cheese or yogurt or butter or olive oil. It takes on a whole new life. It becomes BETTER!
In case your experience of smashed delight is limited to potatoes (and there is nothing wrong with that!), I've gathered up some OTHER smashed excellence for your cooking/eating pleasure. Let's all smash together!

Crews are working to contain a wildfire that's growing in northwest Caldwell County and has spread to 150 acres.
The U.S. Forest Service said it has set up a containment line around the fire. That containment line covers a 250-acre area, and officials said they expect all that area to burn over the next few days.
The fire started late Friday night. It had spread to about 50 acres Saturday, then grew again Sunday morning.
An advisory issued by the National Weather Service called for an increased wildfire threat on Sunday. Humidity levels are very low across the region, and rainfall for the last few months has been well below average. Breezy conditions also were forecast Sunday.

Medical Records
Privacy is an important issue at Lompoc Valley Medical Center. To help you understand your medical record, we have provided answers to many frequently asked questions.
How can I get a copy of my records?
If an individual wants their records and they have a large sized chart there is a copy service that can be hired. There is a charge for anything over 10 pages.

When I saw Gamepot announcing officially the end of Alteil even though it was clear that some other people try to save it, I had this impression they want to ruin alteil on purpose.

Diageo, a leading premium drinks business, has launched its tenth annual Africa Business Reporting Awards for 2012.
A press statement issued by the firm said the awards, initiated in 2004, recognise journalists and editors who provide high quality coverage of the business environment in Africa.
The awards ceremony will be held on June 28, this year in London, it said adding that the closing date for entry is on 23 of this month.
This year, the New Media category has been removed as a separate category to reflect the ubiquity of multimedia use in modern news-telling, the statement said.
Submissions of pieces using new media are now encouraged across the board: all media, including blogs and other online material are eligible in every category, it said.
Diageo believes that better and more accurate reporting plays a critical role in framing Africa's economic prospects and challenges, the statement said.
It added that the awards encourage greater interest in doing good business, which in turn creates the right environment for sustained prosperity on the continent.
Nick Blazquez, President, Diageo Africa, said in the statement that business interest in Africa has clearly accelerated as the world focuses on the continent's impressive growth prospects.
"As a company that operates right across Africa, we at Diageo understand the increasingly important role business journalism has in creating the right environment to operate successfully and to attract long-term investment," the statement said.
He said as he look back over the development of the awards, he recognises a sizeable shift in the standards of business journalism and the increased efforts of the media both inside and outside of Africa to promote trade and enterprise on the continent.

The Parliamentary Parastatal Organisations Accounts Committee yesterday described excessive interference by ministers in the operations of parastatal organisations as counterproductive.
It said the trend has seen some parastatals works so long and seriously on instructions from ministers as to ignore the guidelines and procedures they are supposed to follow, ending in huge but mostly needless financial and other losses.
The committee made remarks to that effect in Dar es Salaam after learning that the Tanzania National Parks (Tanapa) suffered a loss to the tune of 20bn/- in 2008/2009 after implementing directives from then Tourism and Natural Resources minister Shamsa Mwangunga.
It subsequently ruled that one of the instructions, under which Tanapa was barred from collecting concession fees from hotels in national parks and game reserves, was null and void.
Prior to the issuance of the directive, Tanapa had planned to collect over 21bn/- in concession fees by having hotels pay between USD20 and USD50 per tourist on arrival, but the minister wanted the charge fixed at 10 per cent of hotels' annual income.
"We had planned to collect 21bn/- from hotels in the parks, but we ended up getting a paltry 2bn/-," said Tanapa Director General Edward Kishe, adding: "With the minister's directive, we would have ended up with a meagre 1.5bn/- but we worked extra hard and managed to raise this to 2bn/-."
He said the Tanapa Board of Directors had earlier recommended the implementation of a project that would have resulted in park hotels paying concession fees based on capacity "but the minister cut this, arguing that the respective hotels had not been involved in arranging the fees and it would be unfair to subject them to the revised rates".
The committee's chairman, Zitto Kabwe, said he was shocked by the explanation given by the Tanapa DG, immediately recommending that ministers desist from interfering with development plans and decisions made by parastatals.
Committee member Mohamed Amour Chombo meanwhile, charged that some hotels were neither sincere nor transparent when it came to giving the fees they charge tourists, "the obvious explanation relating to cheating on taxable income and thus, short-changing the government".
"It is well known that investors are usually more interested in reaping a windfall profits than in anything else, so Tanapa must come up with better plans which will allow effective auditing of their financial reports online," he said.
Another member of the committee, Alphaxard Lugora, called on Tanapa employees to steer clear of corruption when involved in procurement procedures.
He also advised the agency to engage a higher gear in "selling" to Tanzanians and the international community more of the wildlife sanctuaries and other tourist attractions lying in the southern and western parts of the country, among them Katavi and Mahale.
The legislator said Tanapa could perform a lot better and more profitably by diversifying its promotional drives in part by "resting" the likes of the world-acclaimed Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Mikumi and Manyara national Parks and turning more attention to little-known ones with great potential for attracting tourists.
By last year's figures, tourism contributes between 10 and 14 per cent to Tanzania's gross domestic product.

The taste of our Muscat is more like fruit juice than wine, for it is grown in a warmer area than the Italian version; and, despite being picked at higher sugars, the natural sugar is only partially fermented into wine (only about 10% alcohol), leaving a high residual grape sugar of about 7%. We're able to capture intense fruitiness by picking the grapes a little riper than our Rieslings or Gamay, then cold-fermenting the wine at approximately 50 degrees while adjusting the acid upward with tartaric when necessary to obtain the desired sugar/acid balance. After several rackings for clarification, cold and heat stabilization and a filtration prior to bottling, we release the wine almost immediately, while it is fresh and fruity.

The Image Processors Resize To Fit option is indeed very useful. Especially for a photographer who converts images for the web. But then again, it would be cool if I could team it up with the "Save for web..." command, which is not possible. The Image Processor seems only to use its own Save as JPEG settings. Also Photoshops Image Resize via the menu is better, because you can specify how he should downscale the image (e.g. bicubic sharper).
Or am I wrong?

Templates are just a group of XML, PHP, HTML and image files that are stored in the templates directory of your site. You can edit these files or you can use the editing interface available in the Template Manager.
Before You Begin
Before you start hacking away at a default installed template, remember that any updates of the Joomla core files is likely to contain new copies of the default templates. Unless you take steps to protect your work, your modifications will be lost.
There are options in the Template Manager to Duplicate and Copy an existing template. Note that you are only copying the style of the template and you are not protected from overwrites. There is simply another entry made in the _template_styles table of the database. The template files are not duplicated into another uniquely-named directory and they will be overwritten during an upgrade.
For example, consider the case in which you Duplicate the Protostar template in the Template Manager and then modify the /templates/protostar/css/template.css file. A Joomla upgrade is likely to contain a full set of those Protostar template files. Your changes will be lost.
Copy an Existing Template
Create a new template by copying an existing template:
- Create a new /templates/my_template directory.
- Copy the contents of the original template directory to the my_template directory.
- Go to the root /language/en-GB directory.
- Copy /language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_original_template.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_template.ini
- Copy /language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_original_template.sys.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_template.sys.ini
- Go to the /language/en-GB directory in the template's directory, if it exists.
- Copy /language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_original_template.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_template.ini
- Copy /language/en-GB/en-GB.tpl_original_template.sys.ini to en-GB.tpl_my_template.sys.ini
- Open the templateDetails.xml file in the my_template directory and change all references, if they exist, for the original template directory to the new directory my_template.
<language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_my_template.ini</language> <language tag="en-GB">en-GB.tpl_my_template.sys.ini</language>
<param name="theme_header" type="folderlist" directory="templates/my_template/styles/header" default="" label="Header Themes" description="HEADER THEMES DESCRIPTION" /> <param name="theme_background" type="folderlist" directory="templates/my_theme/styles/background" default="" label="Background Themes" description="BACKGROUND THEMES DESCRIPTION" /> <param name="theme_elements" type="folderlist" directory="templates/my_theme/styles/elements" default="" label="Primary Elements" description="PRIMARY ELEMENTS DESCRIPTION" />
Discover the New Template
Now the new template must be introduced to your Joomla site through the discovery process.
- Go to Administrator > Extensions > Extension Manager > Discover.
- Click the Discover icon.
- Select your new template.
- Click Install.
If successful, the new template will now be available in Administrator > Extensions > Template Manager. Make the new template the default template. View the site to verify it.
Editing the Template
In the Administrator, select Extensions > Template Manager. Now select Styles or Templates. Select the template you wish to modify.
CSS stands for cascading style sheets. This controls many elements of the look and feel of your site. HTML is the file that controls where positions are defined and placed. Other than that, it should be noted that, with a few exceptions, what is in the .css and what is in the HTML files largely depends on the approach of the template designer.
One common change is to use your own graphic/image. Graphics are linked to the HTML file. Simply change the reference to the image of your choice. Keep in mind that if it is a different size than the original image this may change the appearance of the site in unexpected ways.
Finding Errors
You might have problems as a result of copying an existing template to a new template. Because of the way that Joomla handles file names, you might be tripped up by a capitalization error, for example.
Joomla contains some useful debugging tools. To see what is happening while working on a site, there are three settings that you should change.
- Administration > Site > Global Configuration > System > Debug Settings > Debug System > Yes (Default = No)
- Administration > Site > Global Configuration > System > Debug Settings > Debug Language > Yes (Default = No)
- Administration > Site > Global Configuration > Server > Server Settings > Error Reporting > Maximum (Default = System Default)
With the Debug Language set to Yes, for instance, you will see the success or failure of language file loading on each page of the Administrator. Open the Joomla Debug Console > Language Files Loaded panel to view the report.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal deliberations.

Sinopec will expand the capacity of its Hainan refinery to 13 million metric tpy of crude oil, or about 261,000 bpd from the current 8 million tons, or 160,000 bpd, the ministry said in a statement Sunday on its website. The company will also build a new ethylene unit with an annual capacity of 1 million tons.
By ZHOUDONG SHANGGUAN
BEIJING -- China Petrochemical Corp., known as
Sinopec Group, has received approval from China's environmental watchdog to expand its
refinery complex in southern China's
Hainan province, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said.
Sinopec will expand the capacity of its Hainan refinery to 13 million metric tpy of
crude oil, or about 261,000 bpd from the current 8 million
tons, or 160,000 bpd, the ministry said in a statement Sunday
on its website.
Meanwhile, the company will build a new ethylene unit with
an annual capacity of 1 million tons, the statement said.
Total investment in the expansion project will be 41.72 billion yuan
($6.64 billion), it said, without giving a timetable for the
completion of the project.
Sinopec is China's top ethylene producer and accounts for
about two-third of China's total output. It produced 9.45
million tons of ethylene last year, the company said in
In 2012, China produced 14.87 million tons of ethylene, down
2.5%, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Should Cubs Resign Derrek Lee?
You can't be upset with D-Lee's decision to revoke a trade to Anaheim.
As a 10-5 player, he's earned the right to do so.
I am surprised, however, Lee's decided to go down with the sinking ship
on the North Side vs. playing for a contender.
Of course, it would've been nice to get a little something in return for him,
but having Lee around isn't all that discouraging, either.
Now the question looms as to what to do about Lee this offseason?
The two-time All Star turns 35 in two months, he's scuffling offensively
and presumably looking to sign his last professional contract.
But what Lee lacks in production he makes up for in character.
And the Cubs, no doubt, need that leadership with a multitude
of promising prospects on the horizon.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of Lee returning
for another two years. Then again, maybe I'm just thinking with
my heart and not my head?

The SCA-352 three gauged Element II console features the IQ-750 Element II dive computer, a 4000 psi pressure gauge and the SCA-140 compass module in a compact low-profile two color boot. The computer console is a full-featured, user-friendly instrument with an innovative interface designed exclusively for divers. Included with the Element computer is a free spare (CR2450) battery. TheElement II is an easy-to-use, 3-button, puck-style computer offering a myriad of dive data details plus additional features including a Deep Stop function.
Deep Stop Function
Several TUSA computers feature a deep stop function for additional safety. The deep stop mode is activated when a dive exceeds 80 FT (24M) for more than 1 second. Upon ascent, the computer will display a Deep Safety Stop screen and the recommended stop depth for a period of 2 minutes. This deep stop is highly recommended as additional opportunity to off-gas, but is not mandatory. If the diver chooses not to serve the stop it will not adversely affect the remaining No-Decompression Limits of the dive.
The 4000 PSI pressure gauge features a helical bourdon tube for a more accurate display of remaining air. This gauge features TUSA's Lumi-Nova luminous face. This feature is easier to read and is several times the brightness of standard luminous gauges with longer luminescence times. A top and side view compass with rotating bezel and lubber line completes the trio.
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.

- Title
- Identifying business value from the use of social media: an SME perspective
- Author(s)
- Stockdale, Rosemary; Ahmed, Ashir; Scheepers, Helana
- Abstract
- This research examines how smaller businesses can derive business value from the use of social media. Conducted from the SME perspective, the study first examines the relevant literature to identify the key issues involved in the use of social media. It then examines five established case studies and the case firms' websites. The extracted data is used to draw insights into the business problems and objectives that influence SMEs to use social media. Business value is found to lie primarily in the domain of customer engagement and the realisation of benefits is strongly influenced by the ability of the SME to identify with their customer base. It is anticipated that the findings of this research will foster an understanding of the business value that can be derived from social media by small and medium enterprises.

Such amounts of the appropriations made available under subchapter II of this chapter (including unliquidated balances of funds heretofore obligated for financing sales and guarantees) as may be determined by the President shall be transferred to, and merged with, the separate fund account.

To say that the first few months for Kell defensive back Brendan Langley have been hectic would be a gross understatement.
The Marietta native has traveled to multiple camps, nearly a half dozen different campuses, and learned about all he can about each school that is recruiting him.
With all of that behind him, Langley has a clear picture of his top two schools and who leads going into spring practice.
"Right now Georgia and Alabama are my top two," said Langley. "Nothing against the other schools that are recruiting me, but those two schools stand out for me right now. It has been that way for a while. Georgia has been my leader for a little while now and that is still the case. I love Georgia and I love Alabama."
According to the three star cornerback, he has specific reasons as to why those two schools are leaders for his services.
"I really like the attention I receive at both schools and how they are recruiting me," said Langley. "I feel like I am wanted at both places. At Georgia, the chance to do things on offense and defense is great, and I know the coaches so well. They are going to be really good. At Alabama, I like what they do and that they are a great program. Right now I don't think either one of them is a bad place to be."
As one would expect, after all of the traveling this winter and early spring, Langley is ready to scale things back a bit and take a break from the recruiting scene for a while.
"I'm pretty much done with my recruiting trips until summer time," said Langley. "Right now I'm just laying low and focusing on school and getting the right online classes so hopefully I can graduate early. That is the focus right now."
Another major focus on Langley is helping his Kell Longhorns take the next step after a season where, despite losing a great deal of talent the previous year, the Longhorns still made a push into the Georgia High School playoffs and suffered a heartbreaking second round loss to Lovejoy.
"I am very much looking forward to spring practice here," he said. "It is a chance for us to get a look at what we have and what we will be working with. We had a few transfers coming in so it is going to be nice to see how they come in and help the team. I don't expect anything less than winning. I just have to be that leader that I am supposed to be and do what I am supposed to do. Hopefully I can help lead our team to their first state championship."
Langley returned kicks, took handoffs, caught passes, and roamed the secondary for Kell in 2011, and he expects to do more of the same in his final season with the Longhorns.
He even has some talents as a passer that few people know about.
"I expect to play almost every thing I possibly can," he said. "Any place where I can possibly help our team, I'll do it. I'll play some corner and maybe some safety. I'll play some running back and all. I don't usually keep up with stats but I went two for two on my passes last year with two touchdowns so I could probably play some quarterback."
After spring practice, however, it will be time to put the finishing touches on his recruitment, and he already has a plan for when and how he will make his commitment.
"After spring, I'm going to take a few visits, and see a few schools. Then that will lead me into my decision in late summer," said Langley. "I actually have a little plan for how I want to do it. Our team will play in the Georgia Dome for our first game of the season, and I want to do then. If that doesn't work out, I'll just do it sometime in the late summer, but that is the plan for now. I mean, who knows? It could be tomorrow, most likely not, but I'm keeping and open mind while still having a plan." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Mark Martin will drive for Joe Gibbs Racing while Denny Hamlin recovers from a fractured vertebra in his lower back.
Martin's first start in the No. 11 Toyota will be next week at Martinsville Speedway, where he wasn't scheduled to race. Brian Vickers had already been tabbed to drive Martin's car for Michael Waltrip Racing at Martinsville.
Martin has driven one other time for JGR, in the Nationwide Series last year at Las Vegas.
Hamlin is expected to miss at least five races while he heals. JGR did not specify how long Martin will be in the car, but the fifth race is at Talladega, a track Martin has opted to skip the last few years.

A call to action for Australian birds
By BirdLife Australia, Sun, 02/10/2011 - 08:43
Birds Australia, Charles Darwin University and CSIRO Publishing today launched The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2010. The Action Plan is the third in a series that have been produced at the start of each decade. It analyses the status of all the species and subspecies of Australia's birds to determine their risk of extinction. "At one level this book describes a tragedy," said Dr Graeme Hamilton, CEO of Birds Australia (BirdLife Partner), "That in the 200 short years since Europeans arrived in Australia we have so diminished our natural capital that 234 Australian birds are either Extinct, threatened with extinction or Near Threatened, is a national disgrace". But this is not a book of lost causes. It is a call for action to keep the extraordinary biodiversity we have inherited and pass the legacy to our children. Every one of Australia's threatened birds can be saved. "We do not need to lose any more Australian birds," said Barry Baker, President of Birds Australia. "This book describes the populations of species at greatest risk and outlines ways we can turn them around." There is much reason to hope. We would have lost far more had there not been enormous effort over the last few decades. After all, it is only 20 years since all the information available on Australia's threatened birds was compiled in the first Action Plan for Australian Birds. The status of some birds has improved over the last two decades as a result of dedicated conservation management. Some may not have improved their lot but at least they are holding their own. Many, however, are continuing to decline and a distressing number are new to the list. While Birds Australia members and many others in the community are willing to devote substantial portions of their lives to helping threatened birds, many birds also need professional help. That takes money. "Sadly, over the last decade, threatened species conservation appears to have gone out of fashion with government policy makers and public funding bodies". According to Dr Hamilton, instead of species conservation, emphasis is being placed on landscapes without the necessary attention to the precious detail those landscapes contain. "We at Birds Australia do not share that view," he said. "We, like the majority of the public, believe that a vital role for conservation agencies is the prevention of species loss. "If we as a nation fail to take the actions spelled out in this plan, Australia will be a poorer place in which to live." Click here to subscribe to The BirdLife Pacific Quarterly E-Newsletter.
