Personally, I think a single breasted blazer is a better style for the heat but men who prioritize stylishness over comfort should consider the 4x1 double breasted blazer for summer.
A 4x1, or 4 by 1 if you will, is a double breasted jacket with four buttons on the front that are cut so that the coat buttons on the lower rank below the waist. This gives it a longer line and exposes a little more shirt front so it will wear a bit cooler, which our man on the rail in the illustration must find a blessing as it's apparently so hot that he's had to shed his neck cloth.
Now blazer-appropriate occasions in the dog days of August are blessedly few except by the sea, which is perfect as this style is both nautical and just enough of a dandy's choice to be out of place in church. I doubt if it can be found off the rack and a man who had it made would probably agree that an open weave cloth in marine blue would be best. It should have patch pockets of course, and as little lining as the tailor responsible for it will tolerate.
Wear it with an open collared shirt if there's no other choice but it will look better with a tee shirt in either white cotton or silver silk. A neck cloth is optional.

A Jacket for the Heat

I know they do it in Bermuda, and I see it occasionally in fashionable catalogs, but I can't imagine wearing a blazer with shorts. Nor have I ever seen that in real life.

It looks very nice. A few questions:
Is this what used to be called a "Kent?"
I do not suppose we know the pantone number for marine blue…? - July 31, 2008 at 8:57:00 AM PDT

I recently purchased a navy 2 button SB very light weight wool blazer in a wool, silk and linen blend with MOP buttons in a whitish blue tinge. side vents. half lined. I love this jacket and wear it with lightweight wool,linen and cotton trousers. I don't think I would ever wear shorts with a blazer but you never know.

Pantone colors are for printing and no, I don't know what number marine blue would be.

I too agree with marmer01. Don't think a blazer with shorts is practical at all. If the weather is hot and humid to warrant a gentleman to wear shorts (like it is in Singapore all year long), being able to wear a blazer outdoors requires a sartorial commitment not many are able to make.
standfast: a Kent is a style of buttoning a 6X4 DB, where the middle button, which traditionally closes the coat is left undone. Instead the lowest button is closed. This gives a more elongated look to to the wearer as the lapel sweeps lower. Attributed to the Duke of Kent, though some say his brother the Duke of Windsor was more frequently seen to utilize this trick to give the illusion that he is rather taller. - July 31, 2008 at 5:38:00 PM PDT

Shorts with a blazer can look great in the summer - see the example here, the middle photo of the man with the blazer and nicely cut beige shorts. It all depends on how one chooses to wear such an outfit. Slimmer fitting blazers are the key to this, I beleive.

I just recently got my first navy blazer and I absolutely love it. I chose a single breast, 2 button in 'tropical wool' as Polo put it. I wore it over an oxford in the heat last week and it was very comfortable.

Will; I love the hat the gentleman is wearing. What style is this and wear can you find a hat like that?

Olympus Sp Series Digital Camera Batteries maintenance knowledge and use tips
The Olympus Sp Series digital camera battery is the key to a key, probably second in importance only than lens, and want to photograph in Convenience, a powerful battery to provide power as a follow-up is essential. But even the longest lasting Olympus Sp Series Battery, if not be properly carry out care and maintenance, will not be long before lost a strong momentum, so battery maintenance is very important.
1.Generally new SP series battery power is low or no power, the first charge must be adequate. Charge the Olympus Sp Series Battery after it automatically powers off for the begain several times, then full charge the battery each time before use.Battery charging and exhausted tend to be more heat, it is best to be cooled and then loaded Olympus Sp Series digital camera battery.
2.More than 15 days not use the camera, it's best to remove the Olympus Sp Series battery from the Olympus Sp Series camera, environment of preservation must be dry and shady place.
3.According to survey,it is currently on the market you can buy the majority of Olympus Sp Series digital cameras use lithium batteries, it is easy to store. The only caveat is that for long-term not used, preferably at intervals of 2 months, once to activate the battery, care of the charge and discharge time, or it's easy to shortcut Olympus Sp Series battery life.
4.For the use of alkaline batteries of the user, as already mentioned, bear in mind is that when finished the use of OLYMPUS digital cameras, remember removing batteries to avoid battery fluid flow phenomena causing damage to their dear OLYMPUS SP series cameras.
5.Lithium battery charging time are generally more than 8 hours, while the Ni-MH battery charging time are generally more than 16 hours. To achieve the best results, that is, the Olympus digital camera battery reached its maximum power, there are generally three or more times repeated charge-discharge can. Batteries in use three times, the best place to find the opportunity to make a further charge fully recharge, so as not there is residual power in the battery when the repeated charge, or will shorten battery life.
6.For a (section) digital camera battery, the use of the length of time, not only with the quality, power on, in fact, with the user's operation also has great relevance. Most photographers are accustomed, after each time the camera runs out of place inside the camera bags, or placed inside cabinets, batteries are not out to save individually, this approach sounds like there is no problem, but not conductive to battery protection.
7.Don't store the battery SP series together with metal objects because a short-circuit may cause severe damage to the rechargeable SP series battery.

But if you set it at 70 because the limit is 65, and then you hold your speed close to 70 because you want to drive as fast as you can get away with, it will bong every time you exceed 70. You'll slow down to 68 or 69 in response, and then it will bong again when you pass 70 again. Presumably on the highway you'll be using cruise control, so you don't need the warning anyway. But if you use the warning, rather than c/c, in order to help you stay close to your own chosen limit, you're likely to be constantly edging over and under that limit.
I use c/c when no other cars are nearby, and I follow the speed of traffic if there are. No warning bongs needed.

A former Bell County business man pleaded guilty on Thursday in U.S. Federal Court in London. John Slusher, 60, pleaded guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
If the plea agreement is accepted, Slusher will be sentenced to 37 months of imprisonment. He will also be forced to forfeit real property at 120 Kentucky Avenue in Pineville and several motorcycles.
Slusher will be forced to pay $386,000 on or before the day of his sentencing. He will also make a full financial disclosure to the United States and will assist the United States in gathering all financial information. He will also pay a fine of $7,500.
The plea agreement states the United States agrees to move for dismissal of all remaining counts, which include charges of possessing stolen vehicle parts.
The plea agreement states, as to the money laundering charge, Slusher agreed (along with the other defendants) to conduct financial transactions involving stolen motorcycles. The transaction involved the transfer of titles of the motorcycles. The bikes were allegedly stolen from bike events in Florida, South Carolina and South Dakota.
The plea agreement states Slusher operated a pawn shop in Pineville and received 20 of the stolen bikes disassembled and sold them and held them for sale after reassembling. The bikes were sold to "innocent" purchasers for value.
The plea agreement states Slusher, along with others, removed the parts of the stolen motorcycle that identified the vehicle identification number (VIN). They would replace each of the parts or mill out the numbers and replace them with aftermarket parts and/or replacement part numbers.
The motorcycles would then be registered in West Virginia and Kentucky as "kit bikes" or "assembled bikes" to further conceal the fact they were stolen, according to the plea agreement.
According to the plea agreement, Slusher's involvement included 20 Harley Davidson motorcycles valued at approximately $386,000 and later sold 16 motorcycles to purchasers for a value of approximately $188,423.
Slusher was indicted on the charges nearly a year and a half ago.

This special Library Journal webcast will take a deep dive into the data with respected academic voices and LJ editorial expertise.

Attendees will leave with insights and actionable takeaways to help guide effective long term planning and prepare you with the tools needed to engage students and faculty to create stronger libraries.

Changing the DNA of Scholarly Publishing: The Impact of Born Digital Content on the Scholarly Community Today
After 500 years of print publishing, the advent of digitization has caused a huge evolutionary leap in scholarly publishing. Content once logically packaged in a book or print journal issue has now quickly evolved not just to an online version of print but into an entirely new digitally-born method of scholarly communication. In this webcast, publishers and librarians will discuss current emerging models for scholarly communication and discuss its future. Damon Zucca from Oxford University Press talks about the transformation of the long-standing print Oxford Handbooks series into a dynamic article delivery service, providing scholarly research reviews in advance of their print publication and offering born-digital content—blurring ebooks and serials into a new format. Vicki Parsons, Head of Collections at Georgia Gwinnett College Library, talks about her experiences developing a library collection for a born-digital institution in a twenty-first century world encompassing both print and online. Rolf Janke, from Sage Publications shares his experiences of transitioning print content into the digital space focusing on how the value of content must not get lost in translation moving into the various digital forms.
Lois Lowry LIVE!
Lois Lowry's breakthrough dystopian novel, The Giver has been read by millions of people around the world. It left many with lingering questions: What happened to Jonas and Gabriel? Is a perfect society possible? What does it mean to live a complete life? With Son, Lowry continues to wrestle with the idea of human freedom while completing the story of Jonas and the baby he rescued.
Son combines elements from the first three novels in her Giver Quartet—The Giver (1994 Newbery Medal winner), Gathering Blue, and Messenger—into a breathtaking, thought-provoking narrative that wrestles with ideas of human freedom and the bonds of love. Thrust again into the chilling world of The Giver, readers will meet an intriguing new heroine, fourteen-year-old Claire.
Join Lois Lowry to hear her speak about Son, the other books of The Giver Quartet, and to have a chance to ask her your questions live!

The Rebellion
How simple men changed the world
On this world the Empire holds ultimate power and it's the largest and mightiest country which rules most of the world unchallenged by anyone. But currently the Empire has reached it's furthest reaches with current technology and stands on a turning point of history.
In the far north-east of the Empire a spark, a lone survivor of the massacre in the village of Nurri and the one behind the Sarna Village Incident, will start a Rebellion which will shake the very foundations of the Empire.
Late medieval technologies with the use of guns, crossbows, windmills and watermills in all countries.
The Republic of Abrussi is the most advanced in military technologies while the Free City of Cirasu has the largest cultural and social freedom.
Magic exists. Most countries posses units of magical users in each army.
Magic is based on the four elements and their derivations.
All people are born with an affinity towards an element. If one is a mage that affinity will allow him to more easily, quickly and with a smaller usage of magical energy to cast the spells of that element, but on the other hand the effect will be opposite on the element which is opposite to that of the user. All mages can learn all elements with more or less success in using all of them.
A chart of the main, sub and mixed elements. Two elements which are on the opposite side of the chart are opposite.
Racial Specific Magic:
Some races, for example elves, dragons and dwarves have special magic that only they (or eventually half-breeds) can use. If you wish to make such a character PM me so I can give you some info about that types of magic.
Magic Artifacts:
Crafted by magic users this items mostly doesn't need a mage to be used efficiently.
Most non-humans were destroyed in the Great Wars of Nirilwal, which happened three millenniums ago, but scattered villages remain, especially in the area under the control of the Norther Tribes.
A map of the current military status in the general area under attack form the Rebels:
The 7th and 15th Imperial Army are on their way and will arrive during the next two to four days.

Educate yourself about scholarships

The best price
This is my wormer of choice, never had any side effects, always works. I used to pay about 70$ for the large dogs and 45$ for the small dogs at my local feed store. Now I can get both for around 50 bucks.
Smart buy
I have several animals to treat so cost is an important issue. ProbioticSmart has made the product and shipping affordable for me. I ordered after hours on January 3, 2012. It shipped (standard) the next day and I received it 4 days later. I seldom rate the maximum available but this gets my highest recommendation. The Sentry HC WormX plus is the same compounded active ingredients as the more expensive products on the market. It does exactly what it is intended to do.
Best wormer
I love this wormer, it is cheap and effective. Not for pups under 12 weeks old. If you get tape worms from fleas then this is the wormer you need.

Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science
The Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science is the official journal of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS).
Contextual Behavioral Science is a systematic and pragmatic approach to the understanding of behavior, the solution of human problems, and the promotion of human growth and development. Contextual Behavioral Science uses functional principles and theories to analyze and modify action embedded in its historical and situational context. The goal is to predict and influence behavior, with precision, scope, and depth, across all behavioral domains and all levels of analysis, so as to help create a behavioral science that is more adequate to the challenge of the human condition.
JCBS welcomes contextual behavioral analyses of phenomena that are relevant to the aims and scope of the society's mission, which is to change behavior at an individual or cultural level, to alleviate human suffering, and to advance human wellbeing. JCBS is also a strategic approach to the analysis of human behavior that proposes the need for a multi-level (e.g. social factors, neurological factors, behavioral factors) and multi-method (e.g., time series analyses, cross-sectional, experimental…) exploration of contextual and manipulable variables relevant to the prediction and influence of human behavior. In addition it places a strong emphasis in theory development and the promotion of effective practices that link back to scientific principles.
The journal considers papers relevant to a contextual behavioral approach include empirical studies (without topical restriction - e.g., clinical psychology, psychopathology, education, organizational psychology, etc.), reviews (systematic reviews and meta-analyses are preferred), and conceptual and philosophical papers on contextual behavioral science. We are particularly interested in papers emphasizing the study of core behavioral processes that are relevant to a broad range of human problems, and thus not limited to certain populations. Conceptual papers selected for publication may address a broad range of topics but generally will focus on contextual and functional variables or the philosophical analysis of contextual behavioral science. Papers that challenge a contextual behavioral science approach are always welcome. Papers bridging different approaches (e.g., connecting behavioral approaches with cognitive views; or neurocognitive psychology; or evolutionary science) are particularly encouraged.
The journal publishes papers written by researchers, practitioners, and theoreticians from different intellectual traditions. What is distinctive is not a narrowly defined theory or set of applied methods but whether the methodology, conceptualization, or strategy employed is relevant to a contextual behavioral approach.

Business plans may also target changes in perception and branding by the customer, client, tax-payer, or larger community. When the existing business is to assume a major change or when planning a new venture - a 3 to 5 year business plan is essential. Business plans are decision-making tools. There is no fixed content for a business plan. Rather the content and format of the business plan is determined by the goals and audience. A business plan represents all aspects of business planning process; declaring vision and strategy alongside sub-plans to cover marketing, finance, operations, human resources as well as a legal plan, when required. A business plan is a bind summary of those disciplinary plans. The law requires that all applications for planning permission should be decided in accordance with the policies of the development plan unless material planning considerations indicate otherwise. The decision on any planning application is therefore policy-led rather than influence-led. Although the public and nearby residents will be consulted about almost any planning application, the decision will not be made on the grounds of popularity or unpopularity.

I might even research and write a paper on the history of that area as it pertains to Westphalia and Germania proper. The place is full of Universities. Tons of research material to dig endlessly through.
I'm moving to Bad Bentheim. My roots are from somewhere around Osnabruck, my father has researched our family's genealogy until the late 1600s or something. Looking forward to return to the Heimat
I hope you'll be able to find some links to your roots as well.

Risk assessment
Laborious political transition and still problematic security situation
After the fall, in late August 2011, of Colonel Gaddafi's regime, in power since 1969, the National Transitional Council drafted a provisional constitution setting out the roadmap for political transition. In the elections for the General National Congress (interim parliament) in July 2012, 120 of the 200 seats went to individual candidates, and among the parties, the (liberal-leaning) National Forces Alliance of Mahmoud Jibril prevailed over the Islamist Party of Justice and Reconstruction, linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. A government integrating all the components of Libyan society was formed only in November 2012 with the diplomat, Ali Zeidan as Prime Minister. Moreover, the formation of a 60- member assembly charged with preparing the new constitution is planned, with seats being shared equally between Tripolitania in the west, Cyrenaica in the east and Fezzan in the south. All stages of transition process are, however, taking longer than foreseen and the process is expected to last until parliamentary elections are held, at the earliest at the end of 2013.
Whether these go well, in a country without democratic experience and prone to insecurity, will depend particularly on the successful integration of opposing factions, some related to membership of a tribe or region, others to western-style political liberalism or to Islamism.
The government also aims to create a unified army, since the civil war has led to the creation of many regional militias. After the death of the American Ambassador in Libya on 11 September 2012, during an attack on the Benghazi consulate attributed to radical Islamists, fighting insecurity is a priority for the authorities. Another major challenge is the rapid restoration of basic state services to meet the population's needs.
Return to a less exceptional pace of growth in 2013
Growth rallied spectacularly in 2012 as Libya succeeded in raising oil production to near pre-civil war levels much faster than predicted. With a hydrocarbon sector representing 70% of GDP, activity is expected to remain very sustained in 2013, though at a less exceptional pace. However, while international firms manage a substantial proportion of hydrocarbon exploitation, additional foreign capital and staff are necessary to increase production, but this will partly depend on the political and security situation. Excluding hydrocarbons, reconstruction will also boost growth.
Consolidation of public and external account surpluses
Hydrocarbons account for about 90% of fiscal revenues and 95% of exports. In 2013 the production and export of hydrocarbons are likely to exceed pre-conflict levels due to ongoing normalisation of the political and security situation.
However, the fiscal surplus will be eaten into by the cost of the country's reconstruction and the emphasis put on the development of public investment and job creation.
Likewise, the large current account surplus will be eroded by the purchase of capital goods linked to reconstruction and the relaunch of big infrastructure projects.
Meanwhile, after the lifting of international sanctions and with the release of frozen foreign assets of the Libyan Investment Authority's (LIA) sovereign fund, total Libyan assets (official reserves and LIA funds) could climb to the equivalent of five years' exports and three times GDP by the end of 2013. This strongly consolidates Libya's external financial position, even though many of the LIA's funds are not very liquid or difficult to recover.
Very problematic business environment expected to improve
Improvement in the business environment has not been possible since the fall of the previous regime and business remains very difficult due to regulatory uncertainty and administrative inefficiency. Moreover, in the current period of political transition, the problems of transparency and corruption are exacerbated.
In this context, establishing credible new institutions will not be easy. The new government is expected to bring forward the rule of law and reforms allowing the private sector to function more efficiently, even though it has not yet defined its policy in this regard.
Before all these problems are resolved, payment delays and debt collection difficulties can be expected.
