How to Use Binoculars
How to Use Binoculars: Helpful Tips for the Field
The most useful binoculars for bird watching incorporate a few basic features. They have a central focus wheel and a diopter focus adjustment. The diopter is often part of the right-hand eyepiece on a binocular. The purpose of the diopter is to compensate for the differences between your two eyes (because no two eyes are the same or have the same ability to focus.) Adjusting both the diopter focus and the central focus is how you get the clearest possible image from your binocular.
Tip: Always use your binocular's neck strap. Carrying your optics around in your hand by the strap is asking for trouble. The strap keeps the binoculars safe around your neck and against your chest, within easy reach of your hands. Some birders prefer to use a binocular harness, which uses straps over the shoulders and across the back to distribute the weight of the binoculars.
Warning: If your binocular does not have a diopter or if it lacks a central focus wheel (some models make you focus each eyepiece individually), these are not good optics for birding. Consider replacing them with a pair more suited for bird watching.
- Start by adjusting the distance between the two barrels of the binocular so that they are the right width for your eyes. Too far apart or too close together and you will see black edges in your field of view. If you have the spacing right, your view will be a perfect circle.
- Next, find something to focus on, such as a dark tree branch against the blue sky, a street sign, or an overhead wire. Focus with both eyes open by turning the central focus wheel.
- Now it's time for the fine focusing. Close your right eye and, using only your left eye, adjust the focus wheel. Next, close your left eye and, using the diopter adjustment, bring your view into sharp focus.
- Now open both eyes and see if your focus is crystal clear. If the image is not clearly focused, repeat these steps, making small adjustments using one focus wheel or the other.
How can you tell if your focus is correct? First of all, the view through your binoculars, with the diopter adjusted, should appear almost three-dimensional. It should really pop out at you and be crystal clear. Also, your eyes should not have to work hard when using your binoculars.
Note: If you feel a slight strain in your eyes, or if using your optics gives you a headache, there might be a problem with your binoculars. They could be out of alignment. Most binocular manufacturers are happy to service their optics. If you think your binocs have a problem, contact the manufacturer and ask about getting your optics serviced.
Finding the Bird
The one problem birders typically encounter more than any other is getting their binocs pointed right at the bird. This can be a problem even when the bird is sitting still, perched in an obvious place. Fortunately, this problem can be easily overcome with a bit of practice. Here's how:
- Looking with your naked eyes, find a bright leaf in a distant tree, or a certain spot on a distant building, and lock you eyes onto it. Now, without removing your eyes from that spot, bring your binoculars up to your eyes and into alignment with your view. Did it work?
- With practice you'll find that locking your eyes in place and bringing the binocs into alignment really works. This will make it easier for you to find birds with your binocs, even if a bird is moving.
Cleaning Your Binoculars
No matter if your binoculars cost $100 or $1,000, they will need to be cleaned regularly. And cleaning them the wrong way can really damage them. Wiping your shirtsleeve across your lenses may seem like the easiest way to get the dust off, but you might be putting lots of tiny scratches on the glass or lens coatings. Over time these tiny scratches will reduce the clarity of the image your binocs can produce.
The best way to clean precious optics lenses is:
- 1. Use a soft brush or compressed air to blow away particles (dust, dirt, grit, crumbs, etc).
- 2. Once the particles are removed, wet a lens cloth or lens tissue with cleaning solution (solution made for use on coated lenses, available at camera shops and outdoor stores).
- 3. Softly wipe the lenses with the wet cloth.
- 4. Dry the lenses with a dry portion of the lens cloth.
- 5. Hold the binocs up in the light and look for smudges or smears. Repeat the wet cleaning as needed.
Protecting Your Binoculars
On a recent birding trip to Guyana, BWD editor Bill Thompson, III, had the opportunity to field test the BinoBib, manufactured by Devtron (scopecoat.com). The BinoBib is like a wetsuit for your binoculars, encasing them in a layer of soft Neoprene. The bib features a tube of material in the middle that slips onto the barrel. A large, preformed piece of additional material stretches over the eyepieces and down around the objective lens end of your optics, fitting snugly and providing total protection.

BWD Bino Harness
Designed to distribute the weight to the shoulders rather than concentrating pressure on the neck, this fully adjustable black elastic strap system keeps binoculars secure but readily available. The bino harness adapts to all sizes and models of binoculars and cameras.
Pajaro Original Waist Pack
The Pajaro Field Bag has become the outdoor enthusiast's best friend. Its seven pockets are perfect for carrying binoculars, field guides, maps, pens, etc. Made of rugged Cordura fabric, it's lightweight and designed for maximum comfort.
Protect Your Binoculars With BinoBib
BinoBib is constructed of high-quality neoprene laminated with nylon. Its simple design safeguards your binoculars from dings and scratches, dust, dirt, and moisture. The shock- and moisture-absorbing neoprene helps draw moisture and condensation away from your optics and helps protect them from the elements.
Reduce Window Strikes With Featherguard
It has been estimated that as many as 975 million birds are killed each year in North America in collisions with glass windows and buildings. FeatherGuard is uniquely effective because it combines bright color, motion, and the birds' natural aversion to loose feathers. In nature loose feathers are often a sign that a bird has been killed by a predator. Try FeatherGuard today and make your windows safer for your wild birds.

City construction on the increase
December 13 - 19, 2010
CONSTRUCTION across Yangon in 2011 is set to continue at a rapid rate with at least eight new high-rise residential projects on the drawing board as well as several smaller scale developments to be completed next year.
U Kyaw Ye Min, Naing Group construction's marketing manager, told The Myanmar Times last week that his firm was concentrating on the downtown city area and focusing on older buildings which pose a safety risk to it's inhabitants.
"Our target market is prime locations, especially downtown. The Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC) has declared several old building to be unsafe so we are working with the owners to rebuild their properties," U Kyaw Ye Min said.
Downtown Yangon is considered prime location for property developers and investors due to it's proximity to commercial areas and high property value. Locations such as Latha, Lanmadaw, Pabetan, Kyauktada, Pazundaung, Botahtaung and Dagon, Bahan, Kamaryut and Sanchaung townships are some of the most popular spots for developers.
Naing Group has almost 20 projects underway including eight high-rise properties. Eight of the projects are scheduled for completion next year. All of the properties are condominium style, up-market residential apartments.
U Soe Min Naing, manager of Shine construction, said last week that his company also had several large properties on track for completion next year.
"We will complete five high rise projects in Kyauktada, Mingalar Taungnyunt, Mayangone and Kamaryut townships in the next twelve months. Shine has 30 ongoing projects with more new projects being readied for 2012," U Soe Min Naing said.
On a larger scale, Yadana Shwehtun construction company will finish 12 new property's next year mostly in the downtown area in place of old and damaged colonial buildings.
"We have created instalment purchase plans for our properties and in general buyers can expect to have their new homes ready in about 10-14months after construction starts, depending on the number of stories," Yadana Shwehtun's managing director, U Lazrus said.
All company's mentioned offer instalment payment plans and prices range from K20-300million.

I cover tax: paying tax is painful but reading about it shouldn't be.
Yesterday was Career Day at my kids' school. So, around 9:00 a.m., I found myself standing in front of a room full of kids, touting the virtues of staying in school. I recited the saga of being the first in my family to go to college. I talked about how I loved what I do and how I couldn't have done it without an education.
Here's what I left out. I didn't tell that I borrowed so much money that my mom cried. I didn't say that I owe more in student loans than I owe on my home. I didn't go on about how deeply flawed – and in some instances, dirty – the administration of student loans can be.
And I didn't tell them that our collective national student debt passed one trillion dollars this year.
Congress is currently debating whether to allow existing rates on student loans to be increased. They've already made it harder to default or discharge student loans in a bankruptcy than other forms of personal debt, making it easier to be irresponsible at Macy's Macy's than it is to pay off your student loan obligations.
In short, they're making it harder for the middle class to go to college.
But they're making it easier to buy a house.
Here's the thing. If you discount the alternative minimum tax (AMT), there are practically no restrictions on the amount of deductions you can take for buying a home. Under the rules, if you itemize you can deduct the interest you pay on the loan for your home (or homes) up to $1,100,000 (including home acquisition and home equity debts). There are no caps or limits on income or filing status (again, subject to AMT restrictions).
But your investment in education? That's significantly limited.
You may not claim student loan interest if your income level exceeds $150,000 for married couples filing jointly or $75,000 for individual taxpayers. Additionally, the amount of your student loan interest deduction is capped at $2,500. Consider that the average student loan debt load (not including graduate loan debt) is nearly $30,000. Graduate and professional students have debt typically ranging from $30,000 to $120,000. With interest rates for many federal loans at between 7.8% and 8.5% (depending on the kind of loan), the maximum interest deduction available taps at the very bottom of what most students pay. It's not uncommon for those with graduate and professional degrees to pay four to five times the allowable deductible interest payments.
Can you imagine what the housing market would look like if we capped interest deductions at $2,500? Where are our priorities?
Somehow, we have decided, as a society, that it's more important to own a flat in Manhattan or a McMansion in Fulton County than it is to have a college education. That is what we decided, right? Because that's what Congress seems to think (for a history of the student loan interest deduction, check out this prior post).
I'm not a fan of creating tax incentives to solve or encourage behaviors. But the fact is, we do just that all of the time. We do it to kickstart the housing market, to encourage spending and to target hiring. If we're going to accept that tax incentives are used to drive behavior, what better behavior could we seek than encouraging students to pursue an education? Why have we seem to have decided that investing in houses (as well as stocks and bonds) should be more tax-favored than investing in education? And more importantly, what does that mean for our children?

An excellent post, Kelly. Well done. Bravo!
We shouldn't subsidize student loans because colleges then are free to raise their prices, with no accountability. The problem with college affordability is high cost, not borrowing limits.
In fact the best way to eliminate the problem is to take a billion or so of the $100 billion that we shovel annually at Higher Ed and create a free, comprehensive online university. Most bricks-and-mortar colleges will crumble, and rightly so. But students can learn at their own pace and convenience, and pay nothing for the privilege.
Or we could regulate their ability to raise tuition. WA state did this for years to keep public state colleges affordable for WA state citizens. They removed that restriction and lowered the subsidizes and tuition increased by 300%.
The Department of Education could, and should urge Congress to freeze, or more appropriately, lower the federal lending limits. This is the enabler of the inflation we have seen, and the failure of the Department of Education to sound the alarm when it was clear that the default rates were too high is what has prevented this feedback mechanism from working as it should. ED should have been sounding the alarm years ago. But it didn't. Thus, Congress went ahead and continued to raise the federal lending limits, which the universities happilly increased their tuitions to bump up against. This is the key failure that happened. And it happened, likely, because the Department of Education has been making more money on defaults than loans which remain in good stead, and has been for years (along with the big lenders, and the guarantors). Bad government.
BTW, a house has residual asset value and can be transferred (i.e. foreclosed or repossessed). This is not true of an education, which is worthless to anyone except the borrower.
I think the availability of loans at predatory rates is what is driving the cost of college up. If the interest is made deductible the colleges will just crank it up a little further and the fate of future unemployed students will be even more despearte.
Could be. The only thing is that deductibility does not help the people who have really been driven to despair by student loans that funded degrees that don't provide decent jobs. We should refinance the whole guaranteed portfolio at a reasonable rate rather than let Sallie Mae, now a publically traded for profit, make money off it for the next 20 years.
If you think students don't respond to prices when they decide how much education to get, then I don't see what the point's supposed to be. You're not saying we should subsidize college graduates more because you think that'll lead to more education. So … because college graduates are much poorer than other Americans and so we should tax (or borrow — same thing) non-grads more to help them out?
I think prospective students do respond to prices & subsidies, but I still don't think artificially lowering interest rates makes sense. I don't think there are net positive externalities. Besides, didn't we just get beaten into our collective heads the potential downsides to keeping interest rates artificially low in a market that might be experiencing a bubble?
Thanks for your reply. I guess my question then is, how can prices affect education decisions but interest rates not? After all, the people we most expect to be price sensitive (i.e., those who don't start with enough cash to pay out of pocket or have scholarships or other non need-based aid) are the ones who borrow the money and only pay later.
But again, even if you're right, why should we particularly care? I can see the point of a deduction if we're trying to encourage a behavior, but you're saying that doesn't happen. I can also see the point of a deduction if you're trying to transfer money to a particularly poor and needy group, but college grads have substantially higher lifetime incomes than average (that being the point). So why give up tax revenue when you're effectively saying the tax is particularly efficient (because, again, you're saying the deduction wouldn't change behavior)?
That said, I don't want to imply I think the home mortgage deduction is a great idea — I think we should get rid of that one too.
Oh right, I totally get that whether it changes education decisions, it certainly affects taxpayers after the fact. (I mean, I saw Idiocracy — everyone likes money.) I'm just saying, I don't see how college grads are better or more deserving recipients of an extra deduction than the average person. Though that said, I'm really not sure that I disagree with you now. I completely agree that I want the Code to treat all investment equally — no reason to privilege housing over education (if anything, maybe slightly more reason to go the other way). Maybe I just like this discussion too much.
(Though … does deductibility encourage repayment? Seems like that makes the interest rate effectively lower, so it makes alternative investments more lucrative relative to paying down the loan principal faster. Sure, you're also effectively richer with the deduction, but either way, you have to repay your loans someday — as you pointed out, you can't borrow money, go to school, and then shed your loans in bankruptcy.)
Having worked for two degrees with my cash and the GI Bill (Vietnam Era), I generally support some government aid in higher education IF the degree is for a real job. Taxpayers shelling out dollars for Ethnic Studies or the Art of Sand Castles should not be supported. Also, the government has every right to control costs at public colleges and universities. That is the dirty little secret – the soaking of students to support the lifestyles of failed academics. Make them a regulated public utility so to speak. Leave the private universities to charge whatever they want and offer whatever crap courses they want.
Congress maintained the American Opportunity Credit of up to $2,500 per full-time student (claimable for up to four years for a total of up to $10,000 in tax credits for the full-time student over a four-year period). By contrast, Congress eliminated the Making Work Pay Credit, which paid up to $400 in tax credit for single filers and $800 for married filers.
When we consider this prioritization of tax credits for the full-time student over the part-time student (who is more likely to work full-time than a full-time student) with the fact that the unemployment rate calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics purposefully excludes full-time students, it becomes evident that Congress wants to financially reward citizens in the short-term to sacrifice four or more years of time, tuition, and lost income opportunity rather than to continue seeking full-time employment.
A more effective means of truly reducing need (rather than incentivize the unemployed to become poorer college students) would be to give "prospective employee training" tax credits to businesses to motivate them to bring less-than-ideally qualified job applicants up to par (beyond par?) and fit for employment specifically within their organizational culture. I am certain that this would reduce frictional unemployment, thereby improving our economy (even when accounting for the shift of dollars from university tuition towards other sectors).
For those who are currently paying off student loans, I agree that the interest deduction cap either needs to be raised substantially or eliminated. Barring that, other favored interest deductions with no caps need to be altered or eliminated. This is a hug problem for people but the solution should not be to dump the student debt on others (taxpayers) who never had a voice in school selection and financing arrangements. Taxpayers had no part in these legal transactions.
Going forward, there needs to be a huge investigation into the soaring cost of education and what real value is being received in return for the rise (I've heard 750% in the last decade). Something doesn't pass the smell test.
Finally, personal responsibility for choices needs to be acknowledged. Many families don't financially prepare for their childrens' college – even when their resources whould have allowed and a lot of students choose a higher cost school than they can actually afford and majors that aren't very marketable or financially rewarding. Like many other kinds of purchases, the "I see it, I want it, I must have it now no matter what" emotions override rational thinking and consideration of future pain and discomfort never enter the picture. Buyers remorse sets in later and instead of accepting that some unwise choices were made by the individual, someone or something else must be blamed.
It seems to me that many want to believe that there is one thing that is responsible for the current situation. As with most problems, there are multiple contributing factors, many with conflicting claims against each other.
I don't want poor people to be left out of the higher education market and to that end, I think the most beneficial thing is to bring the cost of education down dramatically; it's way too high for a variety of reasons. That will help people with limited resources much more than minor savings on interest. Also, people need to be more realistic about what they can afford. Junior colleges are a good place to start if you can't afford the higher priced schools and can't get scholarships to more prestigious schools. Millions of successful people have started in junior colleges or community colleges and then moved on to other schools to finish (including President Obama, I think). It's a viable option especially since the drop-out rates and failure rates are highest in the first couple of years. It saves a ton of money.
Also, working and going to school is tough and takes longer but it's doable. I know so many successful people with incredibly high work ethic that have taken that trek. I believe a great deal of the resilience that makes them successful and really decent, compassionate people comes from the struggle against great adversity – that's huge and not learned in class.
I mentioned people who don't plan for their children's higher education. It begins with establishing priorities early before assets are committed. It means making choices to live in a less expensive home, spend less on discretional purchases and entertainment.
I think one of the big traps has been that parents have looked at easy access to student loans and given themselves permission to bypass preparing financially for their children's college education. When their children come of age, the parents want them to have the very best schools that they can qualify for no matter the cost if it can be borrowed because, after all, we have become very comfortable with debt and seem to abhor saving. Parents aren't comfortable with telling their children 'You can't go to a school you qualify for and want to attend but can't afford because we failed to plan for your education'.
I'm from a very poor background and my husband from a lower-middle-class background. From the time our two daughters were born, we put money aside for their education. (Here's another catch I guess – if you have saved money, it hurts you in obtaining financial needs scholarships.) We didn't get used to living on more money so it wasn't really missed – our commitment was to raising responsible adults and our daughters honored our sacrifices by working hard to make the most of their education. I don't think they ever considered it a right. As grandparents, we consistently fund educational accounts for our grandchildren – we consider it one of the best gifts we can give them. Our daughters and their spouses also contribute to their education accounts.
We need to spend more time finding workable solutions (and they won't be the same for all people) and less time finding someone to blame and we definitely shouldn't shift the costs off to others who had no part in the choices and transactions and who derive no benefit from assuming the costs.
For years, the federal government has been making more money on defaults than loans that remain in good stead. It is likely that under the new, Direct Loan system this is even more true.
In this environment (enabled by the removal of bankruptcy and other standard consumer protectins), it shouldn't be surprising that the fed is less than enthusiastic about rewarding borrowers for paying back the debt.
Jokes apart, in all practicality, i can't help but imagine which womb most of all these republicans came out of. They don't have any feelings, no remorse of any kind, no sympathy for anybody, young, old or students. They are selfish-to-the -bone. They are stupidly conservative just like those who voted for them. Nothing good ever makes sense to them except for their pockets. Why do we keep listening to their lies when campaigning. ALEX

It has been found…
The BMX internet is ablaze about the latest "find"—the thought-to-be-completely-extinct SRT-1 frame. The original Quad Angle, with the twin down tubes cradleing the BB shell - the Stu Thomsen Replica !
This has been one of the most sought-after, dreamed-of pieces in the vintage BMX world. It's the HOLY GRAIL. This is a key element of how SE started - their first prototype product.
Check out how the tubing from the headtube to seatmast is one long, single tube ... a tube-bender's worst nightmare.
Rumored at one time to have only made less than 10. Also rumored at one time to have been made less than 5. (Only Breithaupt knows for sure.) Stu himself says: "Some say they have one, others say they know someone who has one, but there has never been any proof. Now we have proof that one is out there."
The new owner uncovering this piece of BMX history is famed BMX announcer Lenny Batycki - who received it from his good friend (famous Florida Pro, for Factory SE) Seth Bucceri. All these decades, the holy grail of BMX has been stored in a Florida attic.

Social Media Marketing and Online Advertising
Online advertising has grown in leaps and bounds over the last decade with a variety of major developments along the way. The permanence of online advertising is quite evident and colleges and universities around the globe are now offering classes in this unique and ever-evolving area of the advertising industry. The growth and progression of online advertising is primarily being driven and shaped by emerging technologies and technical advances.
For example, the introduction of social networking to the general public through such social networking giants as MySpace, and later Facebook and Twitter has really drawn businesses and advertisers to the multimillion user networks. To be fair, online social networking has been around for awhile. Most people are familiar with online chats, blogs and user forums, which have been around for decades, provided a virtual place where individuals and businesses could communicate, share and collaborate on a variety of ideas.
With the current social networking platforms out there, which probably number in the hundreds, there is still a mostly untapped pool of consumers that retailers would like to have as their customers. Practically everywhere you look today, whether it is online, on television, on the radio or on print media billboards, you can see where social media marketing is being used. Most companies, at least those wise enough to capitalize on the social networking craze, have social networking pages where they can post specials or information to their followers and promote their brand.
The footprint that social networking and, as an extension, social media marketing has made on today's society is phenomenal. Some companies have social networking pages on a variety of platforms so they can maximize the exposure of their postings. For businesses that have thus far eschewed online advertising, especially social media marketing, they are doing themselves and their customers a huge disservice. They are also providing their competitors with a great opportunity to surpass them in the online marketing arena.

/ Newsroom / Latest Releases / Release No. 0048.12
ANKENY, IA, Feb. 10, 2012 – U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack held a roundtable meeting today with local business and agricultural leaders at the Des Moines Area Community College to discuss the vision laid out in President Obama's State of the Union address that will help grow the Iowa economy. The meeting provided Secretary Vilsack with an opportunity to hear directly from Iowans on how to make sure our students and workers get the education and training they need so that we have a workforce ready to take on the jobs of today and tomorrow.
"President Obama believes this is a make or break moment for the middle class and has laid out a blueprint for an economy that is built to last—an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values," said Vilsack. "Today I had the opportunity to hear directly from Iowans on how we work together to build a nation where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules. Together we will keep our nation moving forward and rebuild an economy where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded."
Last Friday's employment report shows that private sector payrolls increased by 257,000 in January and the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent. After losing more than 8 million jobs in the recession, the economy has added private sector jobs for 23 straight months, for a total of 3.7 million jobs over that period. Manufacturing jobs are coming back and the auto industry has rebounded. In the last 12 months, 2.2 million private sector jobs were added on net. To ensure we build an economy to last over the long term, we must continue this progress. In his State of the Union Address, the President announced proposals and outlined his vision for:
USDA is working to support the President's efforts to promote a new era of American manufacturing by supporting rural businesses, farmers and ranchers to export products made or grown in America. USDA is also supporting the President's vision for a new era for American made renewable energy by working with scientists, farmers and entrepreneurs to help develop a nationwide biofuels economy that will create hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the countryside.
In Iowa, USDA has provided 62 grants and loans to assist rural small and mid-sized businesses create or save 5,300 jobs over the past three years. USDA has also improved and modernized rural electric infrastructure for over 91,000 rural residents and businesses in Iowa with more than 2,636 miles of new and upgraded electric lines. Across the country, USDA has helped more than 7,435 rural families in all 99 counties buy or refinance a home. The department has provided grants and loans for water and waste water community infrastructure projects to help safeguard the health of 257,000 rural residents and create or save 1,900 jobs.

A local non-profit animal shelter is asking for the community's help in locating a very special missing dog.
"Our dog Penelope got away from her foster home in the area of New Halls Ferry and Lindbergh from the Wedgwood subdivision on Jan. 9," said Anne Cashel of St. Animal Pet Adoptions. "We're desperate to get a sighting of her but want to make sure that the public knows not to chase her."
Cashel said Penelope is a "terribly scared dog and she will not come to people," adding that the St. Animal Pet Adoptions group has spent weeks going out to the neighborhoods talking with businesses and residents and will continue to do so.
Have you seen Penelope?
If you think you may have seen Penelope, you can contact Anne Cashel by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 314-223-3371.
"We've worked very hard with Penelope over months to help her heal enough to go to a foster home and with love, dedication and patience of our volunteers," Cashel said. "We're heartbroken and want to do everything possible to get her back soon, safe and sound."

Fire Investigators have determined that a fire in a vacant home in unincorporated Norcross Saturday night was intentionally set. The Georgia Arson Control, Inc. is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of person(s) responsible for arson.
Firefighters responded to a call from neighbors Saturday night at 8:05 p.m. to the 6000 block of Kay Drive, NW located near Singleton Road. Firefighters found the home filled with smoke and a fire in one of the bedrooms.
No one was in the home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries. The home is managed by a rental company, the property owners live out of town.
Fire Investigators have ruled arson as the cause but no further information will be provided while the incident is under investigation said Capt. Tommy Rutledge, spokesperson for Gwinnett Fire and Emergency Services.
Rutledge said "anyone with information is asked to contact the Gwinnett Fire Arson and Explosives Section at 678-518-4890 or the Georgia Arson Control Hot Line at 1-800.282-5804."

He did what he had to do. Facing the vaunted Steelers defense Packers head coach and play caller Mike McCarthy refused to back down. And for his reward, he now owns the NFL's most coveted prize.
Playing it close to the vets wouldn't have worked. That's what the Steelers want you to do. That's what they're built for, but facing the league's best scoring defense, McCarthy refused to fall for the trap.
He used an aggressive play calling style to keep the ball in quarterback Aaron Rodgers hands, and Rodgers made just enough plays to become a champion. McCarthy set the tone by exploiting the Steelers one defensive weakness - their cornerbacks. Rodgers and Jordy Nelson worked the outside and hooked up for the game's first score.
One of the key plays in this game epitomized the Pack's aggressive mindset. Up 11 and nearing the half, McCarthy went for the jugular. Rodgers hit Greg Jennings over the middle by delivering the ball exactly where it had to be, inches away from Steelers defensive back Ryan Clark. The Packers took an 18 point lead, and the Steelers simply couldn't recover. Had the Packers been less aggressive, who knows how it would have turned out because Pittsburgh showed in the second half, they had the tool necessary to take over the game.
After the lead was down to four at 21-17, once again Rodgers took the reigns. His second touchdown of the game to Jennings put the Pack up 11, and that drive again showed why Rodgers deserved to be the MVP.

Earlier this week, we posted about Facebook's changes and what it all might mean for marketers. Mashable was kind enough to run an article on how you can implement Facebook's timline right now. It's a fairly easy to follow set of instructions but be aware that only other people who have done this will be able to see your changes for now. Once timeline goes out of public beta, it will be viewable by everyone.
Mashable added another article a day or two ago regarding how these changes might directly effect brand pages. We've already heard rumblings that Facebook is pushing down brand pages from fan's news feeds, in preparation for coming back to brands with their hands out for MONEY!
This is a perfect example of why brands needs to focus on building an engaging brand experience on their own site and not put all their eggs in a specific social media service's basket. If you buidl a storefront in Facebook what happens when Facebook changes their terms of service? It's kind of like a New Jersey protection racket…"Gee, it would be a shame if you're nice little store had a fire or somethin', wouldn't it. But, if you take advantage of our special policy, I can assure you nothin' will happen."
Social media is great, until it isn't. For years, all brands could do was lease somebody elses media to reach an audience. Not anymore. A smart brand, who knows how to find out the information, education and inspiration needs of their customers can now cheaply create their own media channel and build an audience that they own.
Really, we think the safe bet is for brands to take the later course, viewing themselves as media companies, producing helpful, relevant, engaging and entertaining content that people are already searching for and building an audience they own on their own brand site. This site then functions as a distribution hub for the content to be scattered over then entire web. By all means, post it on Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn and YouTube and any other specific social site that makes sense for your audience. But, don't for a minute think these social channels will continue to offer brands their services for free forever. It's only a matter of time before they start flexing their media might and changing for audiece acces.

Walk or ride a bicycle for short trips, or take public transportation for longer ones. Either way, you will significantly reduce the amount of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions you generate each day.
The Rising Environmental Cost of Driving Alone
Transportation accounts for more than 30 percent of U.S. carbon dioxide emissions. According to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), public transportation in the United States saves approximately 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline and about 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. Yet only 14 million Americans use public transportation daily while 88 percent of all trips in the United States are made by car—and many of those cars carry only one person.
Added Benefits of Public Transportation
Consider these other benefits of public transportation:
- Energy independence—According to Treehugger.com, if just one in 10 Americans used public transportation daily, U.S. reliance on foreign oil would decrease 40 percent.
- Safety—Riding a bus is 79 times safer than riding in an automobile, and riding a train or subway is even safer.
- Health—Studies have shown that people who use public transportation regularly tend to be healthier than people who don't, because of the exercise they get walking to and from bus stops, subway stations and their homes and offices.
- Cost savings—According to an APTA study, families that use public transportation can reduce their household expenses by $6,200 annually, more than the average U.S. household spends on food every year.
So why don't more Americans use public transportation?
Transportation experts and social scientists may argue about which came first, America's love affair with the automobile or the urban and suburban sprawl that makes long daily commutes in at least one and often two cars a requirement for many American families.
Either way, the problem at the heart of the debate is that good public transportation systems are not available to enough people. While public transportation is readily available in many major cities, the majority of Americans in smaller cities, towns and rural areas simply don't have access to public transportation.
So the problem is twofold:
- Persuading people with ready access to public transportation to use it more often.
- Creating affordable public transportation options in smaller communities.
Train systems are the most efficient in many ways, typically emitting less carbon and using less fuel per passenger than buses, but they are often more expensive to implement. Also, the traditional advantages of trains can be mitigated to a large extent by using hybrids or buses that run on natural gas.
Another promising alternative is bus rapid transit (BRT), which runs extra-long buses in dedicated lanes. A 2006 study by the Breakthrough Technologies Institute found that a BRT system in a medium-sized U.S. city could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 650,000 tons during a 20-year period.
If you live in an area with good public transportation, do something good for the planet today. Park your car, and take the subway or the bus. If you don't, then talk to your local and federal elected officials about the benefits of public transportation and how it may help solve some of the problems they're wrestling with right now.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills top receiver Stevie Johnson resumed practicing for the first time since hurting his back during the team's first spring minicamp session last month.
Johnson says he was limited to practicing individual drills on Tuesday, during a session closed to media not employed by the team. Calling the injury a "strain," Johnson says he felt some soreness. He says he is ahead of the initial prognosis of needing six to eight weeks to recover.
The session marked the first time Johnson has worked in a practice setting with Buffalo's new quarterbacks: veteran free-agent addition Kevin Kolb, and rookie first-round pick EJ Manuel.
Johnson says it's too early to determine whether he'll be cleared to practice fully in time for a three-day mandatory minicamp that opens June 11.

Phishing scam targets Apple users in the midst of big iPhone event
September 10, 2013 | By Jérôme Segura | 1 Comment | Share
Today is a big day for Apple and their millions of users worldwide who are waiting to hear about the latest features for the new iPhone.
The Cupertino-based company was set to unveil what many hope to be big additions in order to stay in the game and compete against Android.
Meanwhile, the bad guys seem to be more interested in robbing Apple users than rejoicing about the big news of the iPhone 5S.
Phishing emails are being sent en masse to harvest people's Apple ID. The emails contain links to external phishing websites:
But that's not all. They go even one step further to steal credit card, social security number, date of birth, and more:
Other than the URL in the address bar the pages look authentic and high quality. But with a few minutes of googling, I was able to find the original phishing toolkit hosted on a compromised Joomla! website:
The archive Apple.zip can then be extracted on any website and used as a phishing landing page:
The nice thing about collecting the toolkit is that we can see server-side files that sometimes give us more information about the perpetrators:
The above PHP code grabs all the user's credentials and sends them off to a @hotmail.fr email address.
We don't often see too many attacks targeting Apple users but with a growing market share it only makes sense.
If you ever receive an email urging to update your Apple information be very wary of it. The best thing to do if you are not sure how to proceed is to directly contact Apple via their live chat or phone support.
Other than that, cheers to some cool features coming up for the iPhone 5S!

I have had several people get in touch to ask me recently about purchasing Apple products from China. I would like to provide some clarity and give you guys some cautionary advice.
"Buy 2 Get 1 Free", "Spend over $500 and get a free iPad Air" for example.
OK I have seen a lot of this recently – These ARE scams. 100% Fact. Trust me.
Apple do have their products made in China but the fact is….READ MORE

If you've driven south out of Dustin Square lately, you likely ran into — almost literally — a traffic danger spot.
City workers have been doing repairs there, across from the intersection of Main Street and Marsh Avenue. But since the job continued for several days, workers left traffic barrels there at night with warning lights on top.
The problem: The lights did not work, so drivers coming around the corner from the square at night could not see the barrels until their cars were nearly at the spot. It resulted in several near misses — and some angry drivers.
What will it take?
The former Walnut Square Variety store, once a successful business, just cannot find a good match.
Years ago, the store, which is across the street from Walnut Square School, was a gold mine, drawing many customers from neighbors living around it. But since then, several businesses have come and gone there — including a pizza shop and a sandwich shop.
And, unfortunately, the storefront is empty again.
'Tis the season — still?
The Lamplighter has noticed several homes around the city still have Christmas decorations hanging outside.
Wonder when the homeowners will give in and take down the wreaths and other items. Valentine's Day is almost here.
From light snow to heavy stuff
Neighbors of resident Don McGrath are ever grateful for him demonstrating how to remove a dusting of snow by using his leaf blower. Seems they all followed suit with their own blowers.
On a heavier note, neighbors of Joe Arsenault in Bradford were also grateful for his mini John Deere tractor after a foot of snow fell last month. Seems Joe plowed out half the street he lives on.
Plenty of pats on the back
The recent retirement party fundraiser for The ARC was a huge success.

Rumor Time!
I have to stir the pot a little bit; the offseason is already driving me crazy.
I do have a chat planned with Jim Mill next week. Just want to get his thoughts on the season and the team he built for that very exciting Calder Cup run.
How much fun was that?
Moving on ...
The first and biggest question on everyone's mind is will Mike Yeo and Daryl Sydor be back next year to coach the Aeros? Well, do the Wild want to go with an experienced head coach or do they want to take another chance on a rookie coach?
And if they do that, who comes to Houston to run the show for Season No. 18?
I think the Wild DO promote Yeo. I think he takes Darryl Sydor with him and I think the Wild make the playoffs in 2013. My hunch is based solely on the fact that I don't think the Wild want to miss out on Yeo. Talk around the league is that Yeo is a true up-and-comer. If the Wild don't hire him now, someone else will nab him.
This is not a new theory, and I am not claiming it as such. I am just saying that this is what I think will happen.
And for another bold prediction, let me tell you who I think will lead the Aeros next season: Terry Ruskowski.
Ruskowski was the modern Aeros first coach in 1994-96, losing his job in the middle of the second season.
Most recently, he coached the Laredo Bucks until he parted ways with that organization after last season. He was in town quite a bit during the latter part of the postseason run and even worked with the black aces.
He was on the road with the team in the finals helping out.
I am sure Mill will get a ton of resumes the second if/when Yeo moves on the NHL. Certainly Ruskowski will throw his name into the hat. What a story that would make if the former teacher replaces the former student?
Your thoughts?
Here are Ruskowski's stats courtesy of www.hockeydb.com

I do believe it possible.
He was sooo visible during the play offs.. and he has a home in Houston.
I did mention it to a friend just this morning that I felt he was angling for something ...insight in mind!
But head coach?

Not convinced the Wild hire Yeo, but I do think if Yeo leaves, Roscoe is a solid bet for Aeros coach.
Or I could be completely wrong.
- June 11, 2011 at 7:56 PM
HMM I wondering about the year he was fired was that lack of talent or lack coaching skill
- June 12, 2011 at 5:06 PM
- Forecheck said...
The Wild would be stupid not to hire Yeosy, which why he just might be here or in Ottawa next season.
Ruskowski? Please, give me a break. He failed here once before, why risk going through that all over again? Sure, he's a goood AA coach. Daum was a good college coach and a really nice guy - how did he do in the AHL when he no longer had a team that could essentially motivate itself?
- June 12, 2011 at 9:35 PM
I always get a bit concerned when someone is described as a "players coach"......what does that mean to you? To me it means to chummy to get respect. Just sayin'.
- June 13, 2011 at 6:55 PM
- Forecheck said...
@Anon - could also be a guy who can get his players to walk through Hell in a gasoline suit for him. That's the coach you want.
- June 13, 2011 at 7:35 PM
Totally off subject, and I apologize - BUT, anyone know if there is a link to the video they showed before the last game? It was moving and I'd like to show it to my friend who wasn't able to attend. ALSO, anyone know where I can find the sound bite of "everybody clap your hands"?!
I miss our Aeros already, hurry up offseason!

Is this the one you're looking for? https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150631667045392&oid=113375183321&comments
Dangit. Got all weepy again hearing the air raid siren at the end...

More off topic. Anton was with the Bruins in Vancouver. He gets a ring!!!

More off topic. Anton was with the Bruins in Vancouver. He gets a ring!!!
I saw him there, but I thought a player had to play a certain number of games, or a certain amount of time, in order to get a ring and have his name on the cup.
- June 15, 2011 at 10:58 PM
- Ms. Conduct said...
He won't get his name on the cup, but the ring is up to the team, I believe.
I've heard of another guy in the exact same situation and he was basically given a choice of a ring or a day with the cup. You HAVE to take the day with the cup there. Nothing can touch that.
- June 15, 2011 at 11:01 PM
- Forecheck said...
Yeah, you can buy the ring on EBay in a few years.
- June 16, 2011 at 12:01 PM
YES! Thank you Ms. Conduct! You're awesome!

YORK COUNTY — Two area credits unions have merged, effective today .
Arrowpointe Federal Credit Union, based in Catawba, and 1st Patriots Federal Credit Union, based in Rock Hill, have joined. The combined credit union, under the Arrowpointe name, has more than 15,000 members and assets of $142 million.
Both credits unions have long history in the area. 1st Patriots was formed in 1954 as Celriver Federal Credit Union for employees of the Celanese plan. Arrowpointe was formed in 1960.
Membership in the merged credit union will open to people who live, work, worship or go to school in York and Lancaster counties and the Great Falls area.
Felicia Pope, vice president of marketing and business development for ArrowPointe, said 1st Patriots started looking for partners because it recognized the need to expand the services it could offer.
The 1st Patriot members voted to join Arrowpointe, she said.
Diane Catoe, president and CEO of 1st Patriots, said, the future looks very bright due to this merger. . . The mutual sharing of knowledge and expertise is simply a much smarter way to proceed, because two heads are better than one.
Pope said 1st Patriot members can expect to get the same level of service they come to expect, said Tim Lyda, ArrowPointe president and CEO.
We pride ourselves in the personalized service; knowing our members by name. I look forward to getting to know 1st Patriots members on the same, first-name, basis, he said.
Pope said 1st Patriot members will also have access to a number of new services.
Immediately after 1st Patriot accounts are converted those members will have access to lower credit card rates, a credit cards reward program, scholarships, and students loans. The membership rate will also drop to $5, Pope said.
The merger gives 1st Patriot members access to more ATM locations and branches. The merger also extends ArrowPointes service area to Fort Mill where 1st Patriots has a branch at the Regent Town Center on U.S. 21.
The combined credit unions will have seven branches and 12 ATMs. The 1st Patriots headquarters branch at 2760 Home Depot Road in Rock Hill will be named Patriots Center, Pope said.
1st Patriot members should receive a packet of information in the mail soon after the how the merger will affect their accounts and what they need to do, Pope said.
