Gary seronik on his website has a counterbalanced mount without the UP/down that a p-mount provides' useful for sitting only
Instead of p mint you could just use tripod/fluid head

A monopod is still better but building a P-mount is really a fun (I know because I built three P-mount)
Have fun

But you might search this site for an article by Ed Zarenski entitled "Binocular Mounts, Tripods & Mounting." He shows several ideas for mounting binoculars.
I hope this URL (from THIS Web site!) for that article comes through:
I bought a cradle specifically for putting on a tripod with a Bogen head I bought from Ed. The head is pictured in the 7th and 8th photos at that article's page. The cradle shown in those pictures is no longer available from ScopeStuff, incidentally.
But, as Jawaid points out, this can be a pain in the neck when observing objects pretty high in the sky!

The original(?) presented by Alan MacRobert in Sky and Telescope, and available on their website, used stabilizer beams behind the head, which interfere with the ground in a chair of normal height.
20x is probably too much, but certainly better than handheld , and your neck will be comfortable.
An eight or ten foot painter's extension pole (Home Depot, etc) gives very considerable stabilization up to 12X-15X, and improves the stability of a Canon 15 x 50 ( which is already very stable).
There are some crude pics in my gallery. A search, using "inertial" brought up relevant previous posts.
I =mr^2. Inertia/mass is maximized by pole length, rather than by putting weight on the end of the pole. Think of the balance pole of a tightrope walker-- no masses on the pole ends.
Such an inertial stabilizer is intermediate in stability between handheld-braced and a rigid mount. It is convenient for grab and go use near the zenith , for low magnifications, the more if an ordinary chair is available .
A sidesaddle p-mount with multiple axes, including a hinge as a secondary azimuth axis, and a lawnchair, is a good way to go for a straight binocular. But setting up the tripod and chair and mounting the counterweight and binocular are slower than grab-and -go.
The p-mount components seem more modular than the elegant, dedicated chairs such as the one pictured above. Such a chair must be the best method, if for a fixed location, or if there is enough space in a transport vehicle.
Another possibilty is to use a tripod with a fast adjustable center column. The Quick-Set Hercules is very rigid, but the gear ratio chosen for up-down makes it slow.
A fork -in -a fork, or a half-fork in a half-fork ( an L inside another L) can be used for higher angles if the arms are long and/or the outer fork or half-fork arm(s) is swept back ( consistent with keeping the center of gravity inboard of the lines connecting the tips of the tripod legs, to avoid tipover crashes).
But that construction will not relieve neck discomfort at high angles with a straight view binocular.

I also like Alan MacRobert's binocular ladder -- simple and effective. (Details are on the S&T web site.)
So yes, there are good alternatives to the tried-and-true parallelogram mount!

I put an article up on my web page yesterday describing my monopod binocular mount. It's easy to build -- you can probably put one together in an evening and you can buy most of the parts needed. Check it out.

In december, it proved to be of great help and confort to a friend that is partially disabled... For me, my usual muscular back pain totally justifies it.
It is expensive, very expensive, but is amazing and a life time investment... So with continuous use it will pay itself soon.. Like premium optics....

That shortcoming is the limitation of the stabilizer ladder's rearward length to no more than the distance to the ground from the shoulders, when viewing at or near to the zenith. The moment of inertia ( resistance to rotation) is I=(mL^2)/3, where L is the length of the ladder or pole from the shoulders, in one direction, forward or backward, and m is the mass of the part of the ladder or pole which lies outboard of the shoulders, in that same direction.
That distance, L, can be no more than about six feet, or two meters, for a standing giant. If the observer is seated, for comfort and stability, that length , for zenith area use, can be no more than from the ground to a few inches above the chair back height.
But if the stabilizing element(s) is a ladder or pole, such as an extendible painter's pole, forward of the observer, the stabilizer(s) can be eight feet or more in length. A rearward part of the ladder, or a board, is positioned behind the observer, as a counterweight which also adds more
inertial stability, though less than the inertia contribution of the long front pole or ladder portion which it balances.
I tried bamboo and carbon fiber front mounted poles. Storage , transport, and vibration make more than about 10 feet long front poles impractical. An eight or ten foot aluminum telescoping painter's extension pole was the most satisfactory.

The word "complementary" means "in addition to." Complementary medicine is treatment and medicine that you use in addition to your doctor's standard care. People often think complementary medicine and alternative medicine are the same. The two are similar. Alternative medicine is a treatment that you use instead of traditional medicine. If acupuncture is combined with traditional therapy it would be considered complementary. If acupuncture is used instead of traditional therapy, it would be considered alternative.
A central concept of many types of complementary medicine is to
give thought and care to the whole person (holistic) rather than providing
treatment for a specific disease or symptom. This holistic view and the
emphasis on maintaining good health may be appealing for those who have chronic
illness or for those who want to improve their quality of life through
lifestyle changes.
The use of complementary medicine in the U.S. is on the rise.
People often seek out complementary therapies, like acupuncture, for long-term (chronic)
conditions that have not been successfully treated with conventional medicine
as well as to maintain and improve wellness and quality of life.

The purpose of this document is to define a vocabulary that can be used to discuss symptoms of voice quality problems. Sound files are included to aid in the process of identification of the symptom. Also included where possible are one or more common causes (not necessarily the only ones) for the symptom that is defined.
The sound files and names of symptoms used in this document are based on common language used in Cisco Technical Support service requests, on the Technical Support website, and other sources. This document is intended to be a living resource in that the symptoms listed are expected to be revised as new problems arise and additional recordings become available.
This is the suggested high level procedure to troubleshoot voice quality problems, in conjunction with this document:
Check the sound files in this document for a symptom that matches or resembles the one that is experienced. You might wish to provide your users with a link to this document if you have not personally heard the symptom.
Provide information about the context in which the symptom is experienced, network topology, protocols, and features in order to utilize the TAC Case Collection - Voice (TAC CC) (registered customers only) . The TAC CC allows you to enter a text search string to describe your problem. If there is a match then, the tool asks you further questions to try to narrow down the problem. If there is no match, the tool provides you with a list of symptoms from which to choose. Click on the plus sign to be as specific as possible about the symptom being experienced in order to expand the values. The TAC CC then asks further questions in an attempt to narrow down the problem.
Read the solutions for similar problems suggested by the TAC CC.
Test suggested solutions that appear likely to fix the problem that is experienced.
If no resolution is gained by use of the TAC CC, make use of the symptoms vocabulary defined in this document in order to raise a Technical Support service request.
The Technical Support engineer might ask you to make use of a Cisco utility that allows you to capture the Real Time Protocol (RTP) stream of the problem and convert it to a wav file. This wav file can be attached to the case and assist in the communication of the problem symptom. If you agree, an appropriate portion of the wav file can be used in this document and referenced from the TAC CC so that others can share the benefit of your experiences.
These definitions were developed and applied in order to categorize the voice quality problem symptoms:
This is typically any noise on the line or in a voicemail message in addition to the voice signal. Noise typically leaves the conversation intelligible but still far from excellent. Static, hum, crosstalk, and intermittent popping tones are examples where the calling and called parties can understand each other, but with some effort. Some noises are so severe that the voice becomes unintelligible. One such example, among the samples provided in this document, is a motor sound.
This is typically any problem that affects the voice itself. This category is further divided:
Echoed Voice—Echo is where the voice signal is repeated on the line. It can be heard at either end of the call, in varying degrees and with many combinations of delay and loss within the echoed signal.
Garbled Voice—A garbled voice signal is one where the actual character of the voice is altered to a significant degree and often has a quality that fluctuates. On some occasions, the voice becomes unintelligible.
Volume Distortion—Volume distortion problems are associated with incorrect volume levels, whether constant or in flux.
Note: The categorization of the symptoms is to a large degree dependent on the severity of the symptom, perceptual factors and cultural factors. Therefore, the placement and grouping of symptoms within categories is in many cases arguable. In addition, there can be situations where the categories overlap. For example, static on the line can cause some form of voice distortion. This is a best attempt to give some structure to these terms and define the vocabulary.
In this section, you can listen to sound recordings of the symptoms defined, along with control samples that allow you to hear the same recording without the accompanying symptom. A snippet sample of the symptom is included to allow for quicker download times and easier browsing. The full recording provides a longer sample so that the symptom can be properly heard.
The symptom recordings are kept as MP3 files and can be played by any sound player that supports the MP3 file format. Also, included where possible, are one or more common causes (not necessarily the only ones) for the symptom that is defined.
Note: Remember to keep your initial volume settings low. Increase volume as needed once you are comfortable with the volume levels of the recordings. If you have technical difficulties when you listen to or download these recordings, see the Common Problems Hearing Sound Files section of this document.
Note: There have been some problems discovered accessing the sounds files directly from the document when certain versions of Internet Explorer (IE) are used. See the The Sounds Do Not Play Directly from the Document section for troubleshooting information.
This section contains sample recordings of noise problems that interfere with voice quality. Click on the links in the tables to hear a full recording, a control recording, or a snippet of the noise. A written description of the noise is also included along with possible causes.
Symptom—This type of silence between speech can be understood if you have ever had the experience of not knowing whether the other person is still there because there is no sound on the line.
Cause—A common cause for this problem is Voice Activity Detection (VAD) without comfort noise. In order to experience this symptom, usually the background noise is loud enough for the silence insertion to be noticeable but soft enough so that VAD is engaged.
| Absolute Silence Periods Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom

Symptom—Clicking is an external sound similar to a knock that is inserted usually at intervals.
Cause—Clock slips or other digital errors are common causes.
| Clicking Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Clicking Snippet Recording
Symptom—Crackling is an irregular form of very light static, similar to the sound a fire makes.
Cause—A common cause is poor electrical connections, in particular poor cable connections. Other causes are electrical interference and a defective power supply on the phone.
| Crackling Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Crackling Snippet Recording
Symptom—Crosstalk is a familiar concept where you can hear another conversation on the line. Commonly, the other parties cannot hear you. There are also forms of crosstalk where all parties can hear each other.
Cause—Wires in close proximity, where the signal of one is induced into the other, is a common cause of this problem.
| Crosstalk Symptom Recording
| Crosstalk Snippet Recording
Symptom—Hissing is more driven and constant than static. White noise is a term often associated with strong hissing. Pink noise is a less constant hissing noise and brown noise even less constant still.
Cause—A common cause of hissing is VAD.
| Hissing Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Hissing Snippet Recording
Symptom—Hissing with unintelligible voice is a driven white noise that overwhelms the voice, as shown in the next example. The white noise is constant.
Cause—This problem is addressed in Cisco bug ID CSCea15121 (registered customers only) . It is heard for calls through an NM-2V/3275 that uses an AIM-VOICE-30 as a DSPfarm.
| Hissing with Unintelligible Voice Symptom Recording
| Hissing with Unintelligible Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—Hissing periods often occur between segments of speech rather than throughout the whole signal.
Cause—A common cause is VAD.
| Hissing Periods Symptom Recording
| Hissing Periods Snippet Recording
Symptom—Hum is a buzzing noise of interference from an electromagnetic source. An example is the sound heard on a radio when a nearby mobile phone is about to be called or detecting a cell.
Cause—This problem is often caused by an electromagnetic source or telephone cables run near power lines.
| Hum Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Hum Snippet Recording
Symptom—Popping is external sounds that are broader and less regular than clicking. This is similar to popping sounds that might be heard on a two-way radio.
Cause—A common cause of this is a Cisco Unity NIC card problem that inserts extra popping sounds.
| Popping Symptom Recording
| Popping Snippet Recording
Symptom—A motor sound is a severe distortion or a loud, rough, beating sound.
Cause—A common cause is a fast switched cRTP bug. Cisco bug ID CSCdw73527 (registered customers only) "no ip route-cache" provides the workaround for this problem.
| Motor Sound Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Motor Sound Snippet Recording
Cause—A common cause of screeching is a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) bug or failure.
Symptom—Static is a granular distortion similar to bad reception on the radio.
Cause—Common causes are electrical interference or VAD.
| Static Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Static Snippet Recording
Symptom—Severe static is an example of static that, in addition to creating background noise, affects the dial and ring tones and the voice itself. Another name for this symptom might be scratchy or gravel voice.
Cause—A common cause is A-law/Mu-law codec mismatch. For example, Compand-type A-law mistakenly added to an analog voice port.
| Severe Static Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Severe Static Snippet Recording
This section contains sample recordings of sound problems with voice distortion. Click on the links in the tables to hear a full recording, a control recording, or a snippet of the voice distortion. A written description of the distortion is also included along with possible causes.
This section describes voice problems with an echo quality.
Symptom—Listener and talker echo sound similar, although the signal strength of listener echo might be lower. The essential difference between them is who hears the echo and where it is produced. Listener echo is the component of the talker echo that leaks through the near-end hybrid and returns again to the listener, which causes a delayed softer echo. The listener hears the talker twice.
Cause—Common causes are:
Insufficient loss of the echo signal.
Long echo tail.
Echo cancellers in the gateway adjacent to the near-end hybrid not activating.
Symptom—Talker echo is the signal which leaks in the far-end hybrid and returns to the sender (talker). The talker hears an echo of his or her own voice.
Cause—Common causes are:
Insufficient loss of the echo signal.
Echo cancellers in the gateway adjacent to the far-end hybrid not activating.
Acoustic echo caused by the phone of the listener.
| Talker Echo Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Talker Echo Snippet Recording
Symptom—Tunnel voice is similar to talking in a tunnel or on a poor quality mobile phone car kit.
Cause— A common cause is tight echo with some loss. For example, 10 ms delay and 50 percent loss on the echo signal.
| Tunnel Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Tunnel Voice Snippet Recording
This section describes voice problems where the voice sounds garbled.
Symptom—Choppy voice describes the sound when there are gaps in the voice. Syllables appear to be dropped or badly delayed in a start and stop fashion.
Note: Other terms used to describe this sound are clipped voice or broken voice. In this document, clipped voice refers to a different concept altogether as detailed in the Clipped Voice section.
Cause—Common causes are consecutive packets that are lost or excessively delayed, such that DSP predictive insertion cannot be used and silence is inserted instead. For example, delay inserted into a call through contention caused by a large data packets.
| Choppy Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Choppy Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—Clipping is where words are cut off. It can occur at the front-end or tail-end of a word. Sometimes it occurs at the beginning of a sentence.
Note: The term clipped voice is used in a few different contexts. Sometimes it refers to the sound described in this document as choppy voice. Clipped voice is sometimes used to reference distortion caused to the signal when a sound is heavily amplified. In this document, that symptom is described as fuzzy voice.
Cause—A common cause for clipped voice is VAD.
| Front-end Clipped Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Front-end Clipped Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—Robotic voice and synthetic voice are to some degree interchangeable. Cisco bug ID CSCdx36894 (registered customers only) is commonly described in TAC cases as robotic voice. Therefore, this term is used in this document. However, it is really a special case of synthetic voice.
Cause—This is covered in Cisco bug ID CSCdx36894 (registered customers only) on the 6608 and 6624 cards. The default playout delay was small enough to mean that jitter induced by Cisco Unity caused packets to be dropped and predictive insertion to occur.
| Robotic Voice Symptom Recording
| Robotic Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—The term synthetic means that the sound of the voice is artificial and with a quiver or fuzz. Predictive insertion causes this synthetic sound by replacing the sound lost when a packet is dropped with a best guess from a previous sample. Synthetic and choppy voice commonly occur together.
Cause—A common cause is single packet loss or delay beyond the bounds of the de-jitter buffer playout period. DSP predictive insertion causes the synthetic quality of the voice. For example, when a call is provided insufficient bandwidth (such as G711 codec across 64Kbps).
| Synthetic Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Synthetic Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—This voice problem is similar to the sound of your voice when heard underwater.
Note: In some documents, the term underwater voice means what this document refers to as synthetic voice.
Cause—This is often caused by a fast-switched cRTP bug associated with 1700 DSP firmware. Cisco bug ID CSCdy57722 (registered customers only) "no ip route-cache" provides the workaround for this problem.
| Intelligible Underwater Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Intelligible Underwater Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—Unintelligible underwater voice describes a distortion that makes it impossible to understand the voice. Descriptions of this sound include the sound of a cassette tape fast forwarded, a gulp sound, and a wishy-washy sound.
Cause—A common cause of this problem is G729 IETF and pre-IETF codec mismatch.
| Unintelligible Underwater Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Unintelligible Underwater Voice Snippet Recording
| Duck Quack Symptom Recording
This section describes voice problems where the volume is distorted.
Symptom—A fluctuating voice is when the volume of the voice increases and decreases in a wave fashion. If this occurs rapidly it can be confused with some form of garbled voice.
Cause—A common cause is a bug with IP telephone load P00303020208. Refer to Cisco bug ID CSCdy27331 (registered customers only) . The workaround for this problem is to switch to the speaker and back.
| Fluctuating Voice Symptom Recording
| Fluctuating Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—Fuzzy voice sounds similar to a radio turned up too loud and the voice is shaky. This might only occur at certain signal levels within the sentence. This depends on the level of gain applied.
Cause—This is often caused by too much gain on the signal, possibly introduced at one of a number of points in the network. For example, the signal can be overdriven from the PBX or high gain through the Cisco Unity Tag-switched Path (TSP) setting.
| Fuzzy Voice Symptom Recording
| Fuzzy Voice Snippet Recording
Cause—Loud voice is usually caused by too much gain on the signal, possibly introduced at one of a number of points in the network. For example, the signal can be overdriven from the PBX or high gain through the Cisco Unity TSP setting. This is the same as fuzzy voice, but the distortion is not perceived.
| Loud Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Loud Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—Muffled voice sounds similar to when you speak with your hand over your mouth.
Cause—A common cause is an overdriven signal or some other cause that eliminates or reduces signal level at frequencies inside the key range for voice (between 440 and 3500).
| Muffled Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Muffled Voice Snippet Recording
Cause—Soft voice is usually caused by too much attenuation on signal possibly introduced at one of a number of points in the network (such as voice gateway when trying to reduce echo or Cisco Unity AGC settings for 3.1(3)).
| Soft Voice Symptom Recording
| Control Recording without the Symptom
| Soft Voice Snippet Recording
Symptom—Tinny voice is similar to when you listen to an old-fashioned wireless broadcast.
Cause—A common cause is an overdriven signal, or some other cause that eliminates or reduces signal level at frequencies outside the key range for voice (less than 440 and greater than 3500) but important to the richness of the voice.
| Tinny Voice Symptom Recording

This section describes common problems encountered when you listen to sound files and the workarounds.
If your sound player is not buffering the whole file before you play it and network congestion is heavy, you might notice interruptions in the audio while the player waits to receive information. These workarounds are suggested:
Some sound players allow you to specify the amount of buffering that is used. If possible, specify a greater amount of buffering prior to when you play. Go to Tools > Options > Performance and set the Network Buffering Value as required in order to change Windows Media Player settings. For example, Windows Sound Recorder should always buffer the whole file before you play it.
If you still have problems when you listen to the recordings across the Internet, right click and choose Save As in order to download the file to your hard drive and listen to it locally.
A problem has been experienced with certain combinations and configurations of IE and the audio player that prevents the download of these sample files with a normal mouse left click. The sound player sends an error message which indicates that the file cannot be found. If you encounter this problem, use these workarounds:
For more recent versions of IE, play the file in the media bar window of a browser. IE might ask if you wish to do this. If it does, then choose Yes.
If not, then choose Media from the standard buttons menu in your browser. The WindowsMedia.com options window appears on the left side of the browser. At the bottom of the window, click on the Media down arrow and choose Settings > Play Web Media in the Bar. Now you can click on a file link and it plays from the browser.
Right click on the link, choose Save As to download to your hard disk, and play with your selected sound player.
Use Netscape.
Complete these steps in order to make Windows Media Player your default browser:
Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types.
Scroll to MP3, and click Advanced.
Ensure that Windows Media Player is specified and the default action is to play C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe /Play "%L.
The Sound File Takes Too Long to Download
The largest file in this document is 900KB in size and it takes over four minutes to download on a 28kbps link. Most files are much smaller and take much less time. If you have this problem, review these workarounds:
Some smaller snippets of the sample files have been produced and are located in another column of the table. The size of these snippets ranges from approximately 60-150KB. The largest file takes about 40 seconds to download and smaller ones less than 10 seconds.
Even the largest file only takes a few seconds to download on a 1.5Mbps DSL connection.
Remember to keep your initial volume settings low. Increase volume as needed once you are comfortable with the volume levels of the recordings.
Adjust the volume through the physical volume control on your PC or laptop and ensure it is not muted.
Adjust the volume for sound files in windows.
Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and Multimedia > Audio. Click Volume in the Sound Playback box and adjust the slider for Wave. Make sure it is not muted.
Adjust the volume in your sound player.
Note: If the volume of the message is low when you play back voicemail messages from Cisco Unity Express, you can issue the input gain command. Then, issue the shut and no shut commands in the voice port in order to increase the volume level. There is no way to boost the signal on the CUE voicemail ports. The only place where you can adjust the audio volume is the gain on the voice port.
Router#configure terminal Router(config)#voice-port XXX !--- Appropriate voice port. Router(config-voiceport)#input gain 3 !--- This increases the volume level by 3db. Router(config-voiceport)#shut Router(config-voiceport)#no shut
Note: Keep in mind that this affects all calls through the voice port, not just the calls to Unity Express.
If you do not hear any sound when you play these recordings, use these workarounds:
Ensure the file has been downloaded. Look for any error messages from your sound player, in particular that indicate that the file cannot be found. In which case, see the The Sounds Do Not Play Directly from the Document section.
Ensure your sound is not muted.
There might be a problem with your browser or your sound player configuration. You can change browsers. If that does not work, change the sound players. Download a sound player from the Internet and use the instructions in the The Sounds Do Not Play Directly from the Document section in order to change the default player for sound files.
If you still have problems when you listen to the recordings across the Internet, right click and choose Save As to listen to it locally in order to download the file to your hard drive.

PgCon 2013 Developer Meeting
From PostgreSQL wiki
A meeting of the most active PostgreSQL developers is being planned for Wednesday 22nd May, 2013 near the University of Ottawa, prior to pgCon 2013. In order to keep the numbers manageable, this meeting is by invitation only. Unfortunately it is quite possible that we've overlooked important code developers during the planning of the event - if you feel you fall into this category and would like to attend, please contact Dave Page (email@example.com).
Please note that this year the attendee numbers have been kept low in order to keep the meeting more productive. Invitations have been sent only to developers that have been highly active on the database server over the 9.3 release cycle. We have not invited any contributors based on their contributions to related projects, or seniority in regional user groups or sponsoring companies, unlike in previous years.

Google's Future: Can Larry Page Make It a Winner Again?
Google has been dead money for the last year -- up just 3% vs. 12.6% for the S&P 500. The Internet giant's biggest problem is its inability to diversify its revenue sources. Author Peter Cohan pulls out his Innovation Quotient to suggest how new CEO Larry Page might correct that.

A typical romantic comedy, this formulaic story of a man digging a woman who has eyes for someone else is pretty predictable: they hook up in the end. Starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, this story highlights and reiterates what confuses us about the opposite sex, but what makes us so attracted to them at the same time. As Mike (Butler's character) says at one point, "Men are incapable of growth, change or progress. For men, self-improvement ends in toilet training". And Abby, in all her naive glory believes she will find a man who loves sunsets, cats, and red wine. While some reviews of this movie claim it demeans both Heigl and Butler, I found it a jovial diversion on a cold Michigan evening. The library has it in both DVD and Blu-ray versions for your viewing enjoyment!

If you're living from one paycheck to the next, unexpected expenses can really hit you hard. What happens if you have car repair bills due or other emergencies that need funding but your next payday is a little too far away? You, and thousands of other Americans in this situation could benefit from an online payday loan. Super Payday is a free, lender-matching service that will connect you to one of the largest lending networks in the United States through one simple application.
The online process is fast, private and secure. All participating lenders understand that many Americans have been affected by the economy and welcome borrowers with all levels of credit.
If you're having problems making a payment please contact the lender directly so that they can discuss your payment options. Should the situation remain unresolved, the lender may reserve the right to pass your details onto a third party collections agency.Implications of Non-Payment
We always recommend repaying on time. If you are unable to pay on time, each lender has their own policies with regards to fees, interest and how they collect outstanding debts. Most will contact you by phone or letter in order to rearrange payment. Non-payment may result in charges and/or raised interest. We suggest contacting your lender as soon as you are aware there is a problem, as otherwise, it may be noted on your credit record.Late Payment
If you are unable to make your repayment on time then you should contact your lender immediately. Lenders may charge a late payment fee which could range between $1-$100. This will vary between lenders. For more information please read the terms and conditions of your loan agreement.Renewal Policy
If you wish to renew your loan, you should contact your lender in advance. Most lenders will charge the same rate of interest and fees for another month on the entire amount owed. In the event of non-payment, a loan renewal/extension could be automatic and further interest and/or charges may be added to your account.

Home Opinion Columns Pine returns to the mill, but its purpose is more humble
Pine returns to the mill, but its purpose is more humble
Strange to see ponderosa logs decked again at the Ellingson mill site.
Strange in a good way.
These trees, it's true, aren't destined for quite so noble a purpose as were the pines they used to stack on the property. Some of those logs were as thick through the middle as a bridge abutment.
The comparatively slender trees that trucks deliver to the mill these days, rather than becoming permanent parts of someone's home will temporarily warm a room on a bitter day.Which is at least a better use for pine than burning piles of it out in the woods when nobody is around to bask beside the embers except maybe a squirrel.
And squirrels seem to get along without auxiliary heat.
For some years before trucks started bringing their loads of pines, a herd of mule deer had been the most conspicuous occupant of the Ellingson land.
The deer are at least as pretty as the ponderosas.
Both have light-colored patches around their butts.
My house is on 15th Street, just across that street from the mill yard.
I moved there in June 1995. The Ellingsons announced in March 1996 that they were closing the mill.
If you surveyed, say, 100 people I'll bet at least 80 would say, if given their druthers, that they'd live far from any sort of factory. Industrial operations in many cases deserve their reputation for being lousy neighbors, what with the smoke and the racket going on at all hours and the noxious odors.
But I didn't mind living right next to the mill. In fact I enjoyed the soft background noise of the spinning saws. It was soothing, sort of like one of those audio recordings of the ocean or a mountain brook that are supposed to put you to sleep.
Sometimes when the wind went round to the east the air was rich with the sharp tang of freshly cut pine.
The closure of the Ellingson mill was hardly an anomaly, of course. It might have been inevitable.
Certainly there is not enough old-growth ponderosa pine around to perpetually supply as many sawmills as were going in Northeastern Oregon in the 1970s and '80s.
Still, it seems to me a pity that Baker City, which had had a lumber-cutting operation for more than 130 years, has now been without one for 13.
The logging business is in decline but Americans, I've noticed, maintain their long-held affinity for wood.
We still demand, most of us, that certain of our possessions be made from it, most notably our homes.
This seems to me a significant fact.
So much else that we buy went over to plastic years ago without any great opposition. Television sets, for instance, used to come encased in a hundred pounds of varnished wood. It took half the neighborhood to haul the thing into your living room, and there it stayed until the tube went out.
I doubt you could find a new TV for sale today that contains even an ounce of wood.
Compared to a house, of course, a TV or any other appliance is disposable.
Yet our houses, where we expect we'll take our last breath, or at least watch our grandkids open Christmas presents, must have a backbone of solid lumber we can count on.
I was watching the Civil War basketball game on my plastic-intensive TV the other night and the announcer mentioned that McArthur Court, the arena on the University of Oregon campus where the game was played, was constructed mainly of wood.
That was in 1926.
Yet the place still stands, even after enduring eight decades of college students jumping up and down trying to rattle the opposing team's free-throw shooters.
The two-by-fours in a typical home, by comparison, lead a gentle life.
I glance at the pine decks most every time I drive or walk past the Ellingson mill. I doubt, though, that lumber will ever be produced again in my neighborhood.
But although the cutting of old ponderosas is no longer in fashion, the people who study such things have concluded that in many places the forests would benefit if we felled some of the trees.
Many of these trees aren't fit for lumber, being either too skinny or too short or too crooked. Some suffer from all three flaws.
I'm intrigued by the budding technology by which we can use this wood — slash, it's usually called — to make products as varied, and as valuable, as electricity, motor vehicle fuel and stove pellets.
Yet a good number of these surplus trees have sound, straight boles well-suited for sawing into boards.
Workers used to do that here, within sight of my backyard.
It saddens me that now we have to truck those logs dozens or even hundreds of miles, enriching some other city.
The pines at the Ellingson mill are sold as firewood.
That's a worthwhile use, as anyone knows who has ever lived in a home heated by wood.
But though we may still yearn to dream by the fire, as the saying goes, the real American dream is as it has always been.
To own a home.
And it's pretty hard to build one with a couple cords of split pine.

Last summer holiday weekend: A real hurrah, fish for free
It used to be that schools fired up after Labor Day weekend. That allowed families to have a full getaway weekend for the holiday.
Although it's still a three-day weekend for most, many schools have been in operation for two or three weeks, and the holiday weekend isn't the marker it used to be.
With hot weather setting in again, campgrounds throughout the state still are expected to be wall to wall. School or no school, it's still the lash hurrah of the summer for many campers.
It will be the first time in many years that lakes and reservoirs in the north state are still high enough to host most recreational activities: fishing, water and jet skiing, swimming.
Campgrounds are expected to be full throughout the high country and coastal regions. It will still take reservations, for the most part, at many of the more popular campgrounds.
At Lake Camanche near Ione, you can have all the fun you want in day use, but forget camping. Only those with reservations are allowed to stay the night.
If you're somewhere in the great out-of-doors, Saturday, Sept. 3, is the second day of the year you're allowed to fish without a license. It's a free fishing day in any water in the state — ocean, streams, lakes and reservoirs, canals, rivers.
However, all fishing rules and restrictions apply. Under the rules of free fishing, you're allowed one rod. If you want to use two rods, you'll have to purchase a license and the accompanying two-rod stamp.
If you're unsure of any regulations, pick up the various booklets and check any restrictions that may apply as to where you might hope to fish.
Current fishing
Salmon fishing has been so sporadic along California's north coast I thought I'd give a try to the Rogue River in Oregon, a region that is generally whacking and stacking salmon aboard many boats this time of year.
The mouth of the Rogue is at Gold Beach, about 25 miles north of Brookings, Ore., a short hop from the California-Oregon border.
I contracted guide Bill Divens, a Red Bluff transplant, of Salmon King Lodge at (530) 528-8727. He fishes the Rogue and other nearby rivers part of the year, and the upper Sacramento River region other parts of the year. He knows both areas well.
We fished about 15 miles upriver from the mouth in the National Forest area for a little more than three hours, netting one jack salmon about five pounds, losing one salmon in the 20s and releasing two squaw fish.
Once the sun hit the water, we moved down to the mouth of the river at Gold Beach and trolled there the rest of the day, along with 200 other boats. We saw perhaps 10 fish caught and netted. I was impressed with boater courtesy. When a boat did hook a fish, nearby boats immediately brought in their gear and hit high gear on the motor to get out of the way and give the angler room to chase and fight the fish.
While those fish were running 20-30 pounds, there just weren't many. The major problem, Divens explained, is that in a normal year, the Rogue this time of year generally runs about 1,400 cubic feet per second. Like in California, an extremely wet spring has kept the river high, cold and fast, now running about 4,000 cfs.
The river is generally low and warm this time of year. The salmon stack up in the bay waiting for the river to rise, for rain to cool the water before they make a mad dash up the river.
Because it's higher and colder than normal, the fish aren't holding in the bay. They come in from the ocean and head right up the river. If you catch it just right and bounce your lure or anchovy right on their nose, you'll get a big Chinook salmon.
It's a fishery I'll definitely participate in again, but I'll wait until the river is more amenable to better catching.
American River: Stripers remain the top action, but with a holiday weekend, the whole system from Nimbus Dam downriver to the mouth is expected to be a literal zoo with rafters and other water recreationists. If you can catch it early in the morning or late in the afternoon with live bait, top-water gear, swim baits, etc., you can get into a pretty decent striper bite.
Folsom Lake: Trout and salmon fishing is virtually non-existent, bass fishing is tough, and the holiday weekend isn't going to help. You'll spend more time scoping, looking for structure and bait fish, than you will actually casting. At the crack of dawn and as the sun goes down, though, you could get hammered with noisy top-water gear.
Local salmon: When the fish aren't there, it doesn't much matter what you throw into the water. When a school moves in and through, then you just might. Can you predict when either is going to happen? If you can, you'll be instantly rich. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game. The mouths of the American and the Feather at Verona provide rod-bending action but only when a school moves in. Spinner, Flatfish, Kwikfish and just about any other salmon-type offering just might work if the fish are there when you are.
Stampede Reservoir: You'd think kokanee fishing would be red-hot, but it's not. Expected to be slow would be the rainbow and brown trout fishery — and it is — but the kokanee are deep and not interested in the many offerings being dragged by them.

I never really got a chance to go into detail before, so let me do that now.
The Avatar system can be accessed from the Avatar Management button in the My Iczer page, and the Avatar section of the shop. There are six categories of Avatar. Main body, Equipment, Background, Moral Support, accessories, and Items.
General -- All avatars can be purchased with either Gran, Fight Money, both, or one or the other. Look below the Avatar to see what payment options are available. Before you buy anything, hit the "Preview" button to see what it looks like on your avatar. This makes sure it looks right. There are lots of strange and unusual avatars around, and not all of them look right with all of the equipment or backgrounds. The Avatar system may also stop you from using equipment not designed for your pose.
Main Body -- This is the basic type. There are three basic poses. Knight: Avatar has both his hands apart, good for holding a sword and a shield. Warrior: Avatar has his hands together, good for holding two handed weapons. Wizard: one hand his across his chest, good for holding staves. In addition, the Beta avatars are looking in the other direction to make them stand out. They may or may not look good with different equipment, so be sure to try out different things. There is also something called Paper Doll Avatars. These are designed to be used with the outfits, gear and armors for sale in the equipment tab that are tagged "PD ADDS".
Equipment -- This covers most objects held in your Avatar's hands, like weapons, and clothes and gear for Paper Doll Avatars. They are designed to be used for different poses, and will be designated as such.
Background -- Different locations from the Chronicles of Lavato. They work with any Avatar, but be sure to hit Preview to make sure you don't clash!
Moral Support -- No comment about the Japanese having sake in this section. These avatar add-ons are pets, and they work with most any Avatar. Because of the way the system is set up right now, you can not have a pet and an accessory at the same time. This is just as well since most accessories, like the teddy bear and the bag, take up the same area as a pet normally would, and would overlap.
Accessory -- This is a kind of extra category for cheap but nifty add ons that help personalize your Avatar a little bit more. Glasses are very popular among the Iczers, and I think Lupos is the only GM without a teddy bear. Accessories work with most Avatars, but not all. Please use the "Preview" to make sure they look good. Right now, you can't have both an accessory and a pet active at the same time.
Items -- These are potions, oils and incenses. They have limited uses and they convey some real benefit to your Iczer. While they don't effect the outcome of duels, they do effect the rate in which your Iczer progresses, and gets treasure battles.
Special section: Partners
Partners are Characters from the game and story who stand by you and talk to you as you play (though text), giving simple advice, cheering you on, and sometimes taunting your enemy. One could say that Partners are similar to the Paper Clip from Word, but my answer to that is that is that the Paper Clip isn't sexy, isn't a maid, and doesn't call you "Master." Enough said.

Celebrating overused NFL broadcast clichés
JUST FIGURED OUT that watching 12 hours of NFL games on TV 20 weeks a year for a half-century or so, I now have spent 500 full days of my shattered life listening to the most bizarre English-language commentary this side of Nancy Grace.
Most football broadcasting can be divided into four simple categories: smart (10 percent), dumb (54 percent), spectacularly dumb (21 percent) or Tony Siragusa (2 percent). The rest (13 percent) is all clichéd.
Today we celebrate those football clichés that litter every telecast:
"He is able to walk off the field under his own power." How else do you walk off the field? Heck, you never hear about somebody "walking away from a meeting under his own power" or "walking away from a marriage under his own power."
"They're in four-down territory." Frankly, this best applies to colonial settlers encroaching on Indian land in the 18th century via marauding, pillaging and rampaging.
"It depends on the spot." It always depends on the spot, on and off the field. Next.
(NFL Network's Mike Mayock on the Rams' Sam Bradford: "When he can step into the throw, he's as accurate as any quarterback in football." Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning should take note.)
"... great hand-eye coordination." When you think about it, the key to most success in American history - Edison's invention of the light bulb, Burger King's creation of the Whopper, Warren Beatty's whirlwind courtship of Annette Bening - is the result of great hand-eye coordination.
"You can throw out the record books when these two teams play." I hope they recycle them.
"They need to get [a wide receiver] in space." I think this means they want to get him open, but it could mean they want to hook him up with NASA.
"Ball security is paramount." This is a Jon Grudenism, oft-stated with abundant authority. According to the football-speak former coach, holding onto the pigskin is more important THAN ANYTHING ELSE. Yet I just checked the Ten Commandments; I guess ball security was the 11th one.
"That missed extra point could come back to haunt them." I can't tell you how many crawl-down-your-spine, creepy horror films I have seen that start with a missed extra point.
(Mayock on Bradford again: "When he's got clean-feet vision, his accuracy on the deep ball is as good as anybody in football." I don't know what "clean-feet vision" is, but this fella sounds like a keeper.)
"That's a costly turnover." Me? I always shop around for low-priced turnovers.
"They'll take over in the shadow of their own goalposts." Outdoors or indoors, daytime or nighttime, those goalposts cast quite a shadow.
"He's deceptively quick." How can you tell?
"They're better than their record indicates." No, no, no, no, no, no, no - as Bill Parcells used to point out repeatedly, you are EXACTLY as your record indicates.
"He had the presence of mind ..." First it takes hand-eye coordination to make a great catch, then you need the presence of mind to get both feet inbounds before absorbing a hit without fumbling - that's ball security, folks; otherwise, you might commit a costly turnover.
"He's running downhill." It's unbelievable how many tax-funded stadiums are built on a slope.
"He's trying to get to the second level." First you've got stadiums that are built on a hill, now you've got fields that have staircases.
(Mayock on the Ravens' Joe Flacco: "When Joe Flacco can set up in a solid pocket, he's as good as anyone you'll ever see." Wow - that's a lot of quarterbacks. But, hey, I've seen 'em all since Johnny Unitas, and I only rank Flacco 53rd for quarterbacks setting up in a solid pocket.)
"They're in no-man's land." Originally, I thought this was referring to Lilith Fair, but apparently, it's the part of the gridiron - between your opponent's 35 and 50 - in which a field goal attempt would be a little too long and a punt might not net a lot of yards, so a team just goes for it. I guess we're talking four-down territory.
"They have to establish their running game." Actually, they don't.
Ask The Slouch
Q. Coaches and media people often say a team has "a knowledgeable fan base." How does one identify an unknowledgeable fan base? (Philip Murphy; Boardman, Ohio)
A. If the guy sitting next to you at a game is bare-chested with a letter painted on his torso, that's one telltale sign.
Q. Wouldn't the World Series get a lot more attention if they held it after football season was over? (William Murray; Chicago)
A. I'm sure Bud Selig is working on this as we speak.
Q. Ever get a lap dance while watching a bowling event on TV? (Mark Steinberg; Seattle)
A. No - how would I be able to reach my PBR in a can?
Q. The AFL and NFL coexisted for only 10 years before those two pro leagues merged. Aren't we way overdue for an SEC-NFL merger? (Steve Knack; Bethesda, Md.)
A. Pay the man, Shirley.

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – There's more pressure for area school systems to start classes for high schoolers a bit later in the morning.
Parent groups in Fairfax County in Virginia and Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties in Maryland are going to share resources in their efforts for later start times.
"We know this can be done because it has been done in other districts," says Phyliss Payne, co-founder of the Fairfax Start Later for Excellence in Education Proposal or SLEEP for short. The organization has been pushing for later start times for several years.
"It is a lot of leg work to do the research, and we can help each other out with that," says Payne.
The Fairfax County School Board has already hired a consultant to look at starting school after 8 a.m. A final report due in the spring.
Montgomery County's school board will start to look at the issue this month.
A big issue in both cases is the cost of transportation since school bus routes would have to be altered.
"We actually had an independent consultant come here and show us the both low-cost and no-cost model and that independent consultant is from Montgomery County," says Payne.
Parents in all three school districts have circulated petitions that now have thousands of signatures asking for earlier start times for high school students.
The groups point to research that says teenagers function better and learn more when they start their days later.
Schools in the three systems start between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., forcing many high school students to get up as early as 5:45 a.m.
"We all believe this is a critical public health problem," says Kari Oakes, co- founder of Start School Later in Anne Arundel County.
Payne says all the research is on their side.
Several area school districts, including Arlington and Loudoun counties and the city of Alexandria, have already pushed back the start time for high schools until after 8 a.m.

Silenced 9mm
this wiki
As the name suggests the Silenced 9mm is the regular 9mm pistol equipped with a sound suppressor, only available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. There were plans for it to feature in Grand Theft Auto IV, but it was cut from the beta. Using the Silenced 9mm in public won't cause people to run away like usual, ideal for stealth kills from a distance. However, pointing the gun at innocent pedestrians will cause them to raise their arms in surrender, as normal, and then to run away. Discharging the weapon near an officer will still gain their attention, and attract a Wanted star level, putting an end to stealth.
The Silenced pistol visually appears to be a Colt M1911 but functions overall like a Glock 17 with an attached silencer. It uses special 9mm rounds of which it holds 17 per magazine similar to the regular pistol variant in the game. Compared to the Pistol the Silenced Pistol has different features. The weapon is fired from a proper two handed stance to improve accuracy, eliminating the ability to dual wield this weapon. Rounds also do more damage to targets taking about two to three shots to kill regular pedestrians, beat cops and most in-mission minions while the pistol takes four shots for the same, which is inaccurate based on real suppressors which usually end up decreasing bullet damage rather than increasing it. However most modern suppressors used with proper ammunition report very negligible loss of velocity and thus do not affect the overall energy of the bullet. Since it does not share the same ammunition as the regular pistol it is possible that this Pistol has been modified with a weaker recoil spring to accept low velocity hollowpoint bullets while the unsilenced Pistol uses cheap military surplus full metal jacketed ones fired at standard velocity. Hollowpoint bullets form a mushroom like shape and stay inside the target's body hence dumping their entire energy in the target. Low velocity bullets reduce the acoustic signature of the bullet by eliminating the supersonic crack that occurs when the bullet breaches the supersonic barrier. Full metal jacketed bullets tend to enter and exit the target quickly causing significant wastage of energy. However hollowpoint bullets perform much worse against body armour and vehicles, an effect that cannot be implemented due to the limitations of the game engine. Fire rate is also decreased to increase the accuracy of the weapon. The weapon can also replace the Desert Eagle in many situations with 10 extra rounds, increased fire rate, and slightly weaker damage compensated through stealth. The damage per shot is 40, which proportionizes the slower reload of the Desert Eagle.
Initially, the player cannot aim while moving, and lock-on range, accuracy, rate of fire and strafe are all poor. At "Gangster" level, the player can move while in the aiming stance, with lock-on range, accuracy, rate of fire and strafe speed all increased. At "Hitman" level, the player can fire while moving, and lock-on range, accuracy, rate of fire and strafe speed are all maxed out.
- Conference Center, Los Santos - On the top of the steps in the southeast corner.
- Blackfield, Las Venturas - Under walkway leading to Blackfield Stadium.
- Recieved during the mission Ice Cold Killa, Black Project and Vertical Bird.
- Available to buy from Ammu-Nation after completion of Doberman for $600.
- Carried by security guards in the Madd Dogg's Mansion.
GTA IV beta
There are files that indicate the Silenced 9mm was removed from the final game. These files are:
- Silenced Pistol Sound (pc/audio/sfx/resident.rpf/WEAPONS.ivaud) named SILENCED_PISTOL_SHOT2
- Texture File (pc/anim/cutsprops.img) inside cspistol.wdr the texture is called ecal_9mm
- Despite being modeled after the Colt M1911, it isn't a 9mm. The M1911 fires only .45 caliber cartridges.
- Even though it is a Pistol, because it's a special weapon, you cannot receive ammo for it from a pistol. Desert Eagle was also enjoying this case.
- Despite the fact a Desert Eagle is stronger, when using cheat codes, a Silenced 9mm is tier 3 and a Desert Eagle is tier 2.
- Out of all the "silenced" weapons throughout the series, only the silencer from the Silenced 9mm actually muffles the gun sound.

Menorah, Shardz Suspended Light Linear 12"Hx6"Wx5"D
The breaking of a glass during the Jewish wedding ceremony is one of the most celebrated traditions. It can be interpreted in many ways. Some consider the frailty of the non-tempered glass as a symbol of the frailty of human relationships. Even as a couple marries and strengthens their bond, it reminds us of the care required to maintain this tenuous connection. As a symbol of the destruction of the Holy Temple, the glass reminds us of sadness even in the most joyous of occasions. Once the glass has been broken, it cannot be mended and therefore reflects the permanence of marriage. $25 shipping includes shipping shards to artist, then to whomever customer indicates. Process can take 5 months, but may be faster; the glue requires a good 3 weeks to dry.

Public Open House for New Health Sciences BuildingA state-of-the-art ultrasound center, a sleep lab and an emergency medical technician (EMT) patient simulation lab are just a few of the high-tech features for the newest Allied Health building at Volunteer State Community College. The Wallace Health Sciences Complex South is now open and the public is invited to take a look during an open house and ribbon cutting on Friday, January 31.
The $10 million facility has classrooms and labs for Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Ophthalmic Technology, Sleep Diagnostics Technology, Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound) and Medical Laboratory Technology programs. Many of those programs have been crammed into tight quarters in recent years, as Vol State has been expanding. The new building allows for better teaching facilities and for growth. It is the first time that the Sleep Diagnostics and Medical Laboratory programs have been fully housed on campus.
The new simulation labs have high-tech manikins for EMT students to practice skills. Those manikins can be programmed for normal breathing and then a push of a button can give the manikin a heart attack or trigger it to throw up. A control room allows faculty members to change the patient condition, while students respond to those needs in the lab. The Sonography center has six beds, HD monitors and state-of-the-art GE ultrasound machines, of comparable technology to those used in area hospitals. The Sleep Diagnostics lab allows students to monitor and asses volunteer patients during sleep studies. The Ophthalmic center now has dedicated eye exam rooms and four new imaging devices that take live video and photos of various aspects of the eye. New Medical Laboratory equipment includes a Biolyte electrolyte analyzer and Genesys UV/VIS spectrophotometers.
The open house will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. A ribbon cutting is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. Tours of the new facility will run from noon to 1 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Everyone is invited to attend. There is no RSVP required.
The Wallace South building is near the center of the Gallatin campus, across from the Thigpen Library. There will be parking available at the Library and behind the Wallace South building. Vol State is located at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. For more information about the event call 615-230-3570. For more information about Allied Health programs at Vol State visit www.volstate.edu/alliedhealth.
