The art of letter writing has long been a skill mastered by people who were able to pour all their emotions onto a piece of parchment. It was one of the few means of communication, with answers taking weeks, and even months, before a response could be received. The Stanley Signatures Mercantile Drop Front Desk allows us to re-imagine that long-lost art. With its beautifully crafted compartment, that features 9 drawers, which decades ago stored everything from quills, ink wells, parchment, wax, and seals. These desks were also notorious for having hidden compartments and were often the subjects of investigation for items such as hidden wills and property deeds. Simply sitting in front of this desk will have you feeling transported back to an age when letter writing was an essential part of the day. Go ahead, have a seat and let your imagination take care of the rest.
In the design world, quality and construction are as important as style and design. From the choice of materials, to the accents used in order to create symmetry and unique pieces, every nuance must be thought out and its purpose be understood. The Stanley Furniture Signatures collection is one such assortment of some of the finest examples of craftsmanship. The collection ranges from beds to mirrors to desks as they draw upon the beauty and design detail of everything from the rolling hills of Tuscany to the artistic inspiration of the 18th century Rococo. Imported woods as far away as Burma, hand-finished polishes, brushed antique brass accents, and even pounded silver leaf are just a few of the many materials used to make the Stanley Signatures collection, truly, one-of-a-kind. Each piece spares no expense and is made to suit your space, whether as a standalone or as part of your existing décor. Wistful but charming, romantic yet dashingly unforgiving, the makers at Stanley Furniture selected only the highest in quality to inspire the senses, take you on a journey, and comfort you at any time of the day.

Teens playing video games is certainly not that out of the ordinary. Teens designing their own video games though has become an almost sure-fire way to get them to study and appreciate subjects many might otherwise consider boring, too hard, or just not up their alley.
At the recent week-long Game Design Lab run by the Museum of the Moving Image and the Institute of Play, students had to use math, computer programming, engineering - not to mention a whole bunch of critical thinking skills - all to create a rudimentary video game with one purpose: It's fun to play.
"It's really a chance for them to think big picture about what makes a game a game, what makes a game fun, and to work with digital tools: iPads, computers, sensor boards. One of the things we're trying to do is get these kids to think about games and about how games work and how games work as systems," said Chris Wisniewski of the Museum of the Moving Image.
But what makes this program a bit different from similar ones that teach video game design to students is that it isn't just about software. There's also a little bit of hardware in there, and the students are making their own video game controllers too.
Additionally, students - even those not necessarily interested in pursuing a career in video games - seem to agree at the very least that they now have a greater appreciation of the work that went into creating some of the more mainstream games they play at home.
"I never thought I would make an actual controller because now we play the Xbox and stuff and it's like oh this is cool but making one? Yeah, no idea," said Ninth Grader Noor Ismail.
"I really didn't know the thought process of making games there's posters up on the different parts of creating a game I didn't really understand how I could analyze different games to create my own," said Tenth Grader Ameer Ross.
Again, there are all sorts of camps, particularly during the summer, that introduce teens to video game design.

The Fire 5 project
In 1997, the Treaty of Amsterdam introduced the concept of "closer cooperation", a tool that permits even a limited number of Member States to propose initiatives for developing and empowering some specific activity sectors.
In February 2006, the Civil Protection Authorities in Italy, France, Portugal and Spain, discussed the opportunity to plan and put in place shared intervention in the event of natural calamities and emergencies, especially in the Mediterranean.
The idea was the fruit of the different experiences matured during intervention abroad and the first step towards a closer cooperation civil protection agreement between the four countries, focused essentially on reciprocal aid in the event of an emergency.
During the following year, the four proponent countries worked together on the idea, which in 2007 was approved by the European Union as a pilot project, with funding of € 900,000. This was the start of the trans-frontier cooperation project "Force d'Intervention Rapide Europèenne 4", namely Fire 4.
Fire 4 is part of the Community Mechanism for Civil Protection and aims to fine-tune shared operational methods for the four partner countries regarding forest fires and earthquakes, improving prevention and intervention by the different European civil protection teams.
The project was also an important opportunity for perfecting the "modular" operational approach, which the Commission drew up together with Member States to optimise and accelerate civil protection intervention on a European level.
Fire 4 involved many activities, organised over a 30-month calendar, from 1st May 2007 to 1st November 2009, with the aim of deciding on multinational assessment and intervention teams, setting up shared methods of operations management and standardising technologies used: workshops, training courses, exchange of experts, acquisition and sharing of equipment for radio-transmission and, above all, international relief exercises (the first in Italy regarding the risk of forest fires, "Sardinia 2008"; the second in Portugal, in May 2009, regarding earthquakes).
Comprising representatives of the Civil Protection Authorities in Italy, France, Spain and Portugal, the Fire 4 Management Committee includes representatives from other countries – Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Malta and Slovenia – as "associated" countries, with the aim of sharing methods and procedures adopted by the core of "guide" countries.
In February 2008, Greece joined the project, no longer as an "associate" but as "partner" country.
Fire 4 thus became Fire 5.

According to David Howerin, director of regional planning, about 25-30 people stopped by to pick up information on how the special tax would benefit Catoosa County.
Howerin's answer was, "The tax will allow us to develop a safe transportation system for the region, as well as create jobs."
There is about $53 million earmarked for the county on the 15-county regional list, which is 75 percent of the funds to be spent in Catoosa. Another 25 percent will go to Fort Oglethorpe ($156,000 in 2013) and Ringgold ($81,000 in 2013) along with unincorporated areas in discretionary funds. These latter funds may be used at the discretion of the municipality for road construction.
Catoosa County belongs to the northwest Georgia region, which includes 14 additional counties: Bartow, Chattooga, Dade, Fannin, Floyd, Gilmer, Gordon, Haralson, Murray, Paulding, Pickens, Polk, Walker and Whitfield.
In 10 years, or the expected life of the tax, Fort Oglethorpe is expected to gain $1.5 million and Ringgold $800,000. The county itself is projected to gain in the neighborhood of $13 million in 10 years.
According to Howerin, the tax option must pass regionally by a 50-percent-plus-one majority to go into effect. Counties may not opt out. Should the tax effort fail in Catoosa but pass regionally, the county will still be required to participate.
Should the expected income for the tax be reached in less than the 10 years, the tax will cease at that point.
David Kennamer, principal planner for the Northwest Georgia Regional Planning Commission, said, "One of the common misconceptions is that money raised in the region will go to Atlanta to be used in other areas of the state. This is in fact a false statement. All the TSPLOST funds raised will stay right here in the northwest region."
These projects have been pre-approved for Catoosa County under the Transportation Investment Act.

Blue-sky thinking
African philosophy ought to lend itself well to knowledge management and the continent needs it to tackle a growing skills shortage.
By Ian Corbett
The concept of knowledge-centred leadership is not new to the African continent. Kings in ancient times realised the value of knowledge and experience, as symbolised in the staff finial of the Sankofa Bird of
The message is simple: take care not to move forward without remembering where you have come from; remember the lessons of the past. It is, perhaps, one of the earliest acknowledgements of the importance of learning as an enabler to truly effective leadership.
In short, knowledge sharing is not a foreign concept to the people of
His words align with the much talked of African social ethic of ubuntu. Sadly, much of the depth of meaning is lost in translation it means something like, I am because we are or a person is a person through other people.
Such statements speak of the humanity with which people should relate to others; of inclusiveness and connectedness. Ubuntu is also linked to what some have described sometimes pejoratively as a near infinite capacity for the pursuit of consensus in African cultures. For centuries, African democracy has operated through a form of collective discussion known as an indaba, where everyone has an opportunity to speak and be heard, with the leader traditionally speaking last so that everyone can have their say.
Cultural competence
Such traditions should provide powerful conceptual support to KM. Africa, as a continent, should have great potential in this area a cultural competency. The flip-side is the danger that commitment to reaching consensus can easily be misinterpreted by people from more task-oriented Western cultures as an inability of leadership to make decisions. It can also be abused in many ways, especially where the quality and intent of leadership is questionable. Despite all this, KM still faces the same challenges in
As shown by
At a recent conference, a delegate from another emerging country pointed out that anyone can buy the same machine it is how people learn to use it that is interesting and creates wealth. It seems appropriate, therefore, to take the advice indicated by the Sankofa Bird, to look back and ask ourselves what this might mean for KM in 21st century
Diversity and openness
In that simple statement lies the foundation for understanding what we would call today the not-invented here syndrome (see IK, May 2006), arguably one of the biggest barriers to innovation and performance improvement that people with great ideas face.
Imagine how difficult winning acceptance for new ideas can be when you have to take account of the complex web of prejudices that exist, both consciously and subconsciously, within each and every one of us. Great ideas abound, but how many actually become breakthrough innovations? And how many are lost as a result of peoples inability to trust the judgement of people from other, unfamiliar cultural domains?
The South African Sunday Times newspaper recently wrote about how First National Bank (FNB) became the first to implement an innovative mobile-township banking scheme. It was the idea of Kabelo Monchusi, an imaginative guy working in banking who had one crucial advantage over his peers his background in retailing let him see opportunity that other, more traditional, bankers could not.
Many managers turned down the idea before Kabelo found someone willing to support him. Would FNB have enjoyed success if this person-to-person connection had not been made? Probably not, but when you analyse what is happening from the KM perspective it is extremely exciting.
But people such as Kabelo Monchusi represent a different type of intermediary. Equipped with powerful language skills that very few people from Western cultures can match, they are cultural intermediaries who can span kingdoms of knowledge in different cultural domains, helping to develop new business ideas and opportunities.
As such, they represent one of the most powerful resources for first-mover advantage that organisations operating in emerging markets can posses they are the pioneers of business innovation who spot opportunities and create thin threads connecting the different worlds in which they, and they alone, are currently equipped to operate effectively. The challenge is to recognise it, and to be prepared to act on their knowledge, which requires a delicate balance between assuring governance and creating freedom of enterprise.
The question of knowledge
The crucial question to ask at this point is, to what extent have organisations in
There is a well-known story about the Mercedes car which was given as a gift to President Mandela. Built in
Such examples challenge the widely held view that the value of using knowledge more effectively cannot be translated into tangible value. Virtually any activity you can think of is associated with a learning curve and the improved use of knowledge executing that activity will always deliver a benefit in terms of quality, quantity, cost and/or time. It suggests there is a tremendous latent potential that has yet to be properly tapped in
So, how seriously is KM on the agenda of organisations in
The turning point will come when KM is placed firmly on the boardroom agenda because it is regarded as a business imperative real acknowledgement of its value and benefit is a crucial first step in achieving this.
Interestingly, in our KM consulting capacity we have noted an emerging trend globally for customers to ask for demonstrable use of KM as a qualifier, not only for winning new business, but to retain contracts. When this happens, it creates a sense of urgency and commitment to support action. Until then, people in lower managerial positions who see the benefit and try to change the way people work will continue to be seen as evangelists and, sadly at times, martyrs to their cause. It is not that they are wrong it is a question of either timing or a lack of leadership vision and understanding.
The effectiveness of current learning and the use of knowledge within South African organisations varies widely depending on the organisational maturity and perspective that leadership takes on KM. As in the rest of the world when it was first put on the agenda, there has been a tendency to look to IT for a quick, easy and often costly solution.
Despite the inclusion of KM at a number of the top business schools, the level of awareness and understanding of KM (that is to say, knowledge-centred leadership) remains relatively low. More specifically, there is an inadequate appreciation of the crucial fact that technology is only an enabler. The importance of relationships between people and having the right processes in place to meet organisational needs are either completely lost in these instances or underestimated and undervalued.
In South Africa, this is a great pity given the strong oral tradition of story-telling, for example, and the culturally-embedded willingness of people to share and help one another as these are foundational aspects for KM, represented by a carefully balanced mix of people, process and technology to succeed. Based on personal experience from witnessing the pull that develops once organisations begin to use processes such as peer assists and retrospects with culturally diverse teams, there is little doubt that KM may prove to be a cultural competency in Africa in the same way that it might be regarded to be so in Scandinavia.
Given the clear potential to improve performance and the urgent need to do so, the obvious question is, why arent more organisations in
This is a symptom of the impact that Mervyn King, a South African expert on governance, calls weapons of mass distraction, a term he uses to describe the proliferation of legislative and regulatory demands that are being imposed on corporate
It is true that embedding knowledge management processes effectively takes time, effort and resources. It also comes down to how disciplined an organisation and its management really is and how rigorously processes are applied.
Some of our industries, by virtue of the environment in which they operate, have to be rigorous in their application of procedures safety and environmental management demand it. Some organisations in the petro-chemical and mining sectors have made significant progress, but they represent a small percentage of the total.
What is the real issue preventing greater progress through KM in
This is a crucial comment with far-reaching implications for KM, which is perhaps uniquely equipped to deliver a potential solution people create organisational capability and it is, ultimately, people who sustain competitive advantage. Organisations that take a holistic approach to the way in which they use and apply knowledge, in essence, are already taking rigorous steps to underpin and assure the quality of their processes.
By the very nature of the way in which high-quality facilitation of KM processes work, and the way in which effective communities of practice operate, for example, they not only focus unequivocally on the sustainable delivery of business performance, they are driven by the desire to see it improve continuously.
KM, when it is implemented and executed effectively, should change the very nature of the way in which people work, raising quality. The exciting thing is that unlike control-based governance practices, KM also catalyses organisational enterprise as we have seen through the example of FNB.

KM is still in its infancy in

Changing landscape
How post-apartheid South Africa is moving forward
In the late 1980s Joseph Jaworski, who led oil giant Shells scenario-planning team, identified two potential scenarios for the developing world. One painted a bleak picture of strife and conflict that would tear communities apart.
The other pointed to a vibrant future in which the developing world would not only flourish, but could even grow to challenge the dominance of the developed world. In the 1980s, the latter seemed inconceivable, but today the South African economy is surging. At the same time, critics suggest this growth has been driven by a credit boom, supported by the lowest interest rates the country has ever enjoyed.
Also lurking in the background, of course, is HIV/AIDS. So far, this has had minimal impact on the economy. But potential investors from overseas are still cautious. The London Stock Exchange, for example, which handles an increasing number of listings from South African companies, asks that prospective companies should provide details about how they will deal with the potentially adverse effects of HIV/AIDS on their organisation.
Listen more carefully and a more complex message emerges. Business in the
The cause? Over and above the damage caused by extensive bush fires, an apparent reduction in maintenance standards at Koeberg nuclear power plant north of
Fast growth has placed a big strain on the nations infrastructure and the manpower required to support it. State-owned Transnet, which runs the gas pipeline network, ports and rail freight, will spend R40bn over the next five to ten years to upgrade the freight capacity of the countrys rail infrastructure.
But CEO Maria Ramos conceded that the organisation does not have the necessary project-management experience to manage projects on this scale. The solution? Skilled ex-staff are being coaxed out of retirement to help. Could there be an alternative, more sustainable solution to this challenge?
The private sector has challenges of its own. The booming oil price has also pushed up inflation and is starting to squeeze profit margins.

Huntingdon Dodges "Catastrophic" Flooding
By: Lynn Adler
Updated: January 29, 2013
SHIRLEY TOWNSHIP, HUNTINGDON COUNTY - In Huntingdon County, some of the hardest hit areas were in the southern part of the county along the Aughwick Creek area.
As flood waters continue to rise, hundreds of sandbags are being shipped out.
But the bags won't be used in Huntingdon County since the area dodged a bullet and received far less rain than previously predicted.
"It would have been a catastrophic flood for some communities in this county that's for certain if we would have received all that we could have," says Huntingdon County Emergency Management Director, Adam Miller.
The sandbags will instead be sent to help out neighboring Mifflin and Sullivan Counties.
Although Miller says that's not to say when it comes to flooding Huntingdon is out of the water quite yet.
"The water is rising and it's going to get higher and folks shouldn't quite let their guard down just yet," Miller says.
The flooding has gotten so bad in parts near Aughwick Creek some homeowners woke up Wednesday morning to find their front lawns looking more like beachfront property.
Many roads in Huntingdon are shut down due to standing water and with more rain expected, officials say residents should stay vigilant because the flooding is far from over.
"We're expecting waterways to rise again into the overnight period into tomorrow morning." Miller says. Adding, "We've had areas of this county that have had received throughout the course of rain for this week over 10 inches. That is just amazing. So we've certainly had our share and we're hopeful we don't get much more."
When it comes to flooding in Huntingdon, Miller says there's no such thing as being too prepared.
"Mother Nature is a strange animal and someone I wouldn't' want to play a game of chess with."
The Aughwick is expected to crest sometime early Thursday morning at more than 14.5 inches.

Fronius International contributes to safe grid operation
Eberstalzell in scenic Upper Austria not only boasts the largest photovoltaic (PV) research power station in Austria, it is also the site of a Smart Grid demonstration system. The aim of the system is to be well prepared for the increase in use of renewable sources of energy. Stable grid operation and maximum reliability of supply must be guaranteed. Fronius inverters support these objectives.
By the end of 2015, it is expected that 6,000 new solar power systems will go on stream in Austria each year. The grids must be able to cope with this onslaught, so robust and intelligent systems are the order of the day. The pilot project in Eberstalzell is a control concept for an active low-voltage grid. A specific grid segment that will contain around 70 photovoltaic systems is to be used as a test array. A Fronius IG Plus V inverter will be installed in each of these PV systems to provide stable grid operation.
"This test grid will enable us to control the devices within it. Existing control functions in the inverter can be modified and optimised from a higher-level grid controller, transforming a low-voltage system into a Smart Grid." explains Dr. Martin Heidl of Fronius System Technology. The objective is to be able to feed in more decentrally generated electricity, without any power losses, than would be possible were the Smart Grid measures not in place.
The reactive power control provided by the Fronius inverter enables the grid voltage to be held within the required limits. Being able to communicate directly with the Smart Grid means that the technically ingenious control algorithms in the Fronius inverter can be modified remotely. The Smart Grid Controller uses data from the Smart Meter to control the transformer and the inverter, enabling the entire grid to be optimised in terms of voltage stability, maximum feed-in and low levels of loss.
The research project is being led by the AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology) and carried out in conjunction with Energie AG Oberösterreich Netz GmbH, Siemens AG Austria, Linz Strom Netz GmbH, Salzburg Netz GmbH and BEWAG Netz GmbH. Installation will start in spring 2012 and the project as a whole is scheduled to run for three years.
The PV research power station in Eberstalzell is the source of another item of good news. Here, 18 Fronius CL central inverters have been providing unusually rosy results for one year now: *current yields are ten percent higher than the already optimistic forecasts provided by the solar specialists. On April 16th, the 1,000,000th kilowatt hour of electricity was fed into the Energie AG grid.

I ordered it for my daughter for Christmas last year. It arrived on time. The problem was since it was refurbished, it only had a limited warranty. I used most of that warranty time up with the present being hidden in my closet and then wrapped under the tree. When it was finally opened and used, the handle did not work right and constantly kept coming apart. I called to get it replaced, but since the warranty was out, Overstock gave me the number for business to call ......BIG Pain....They told me to box it and return it to them. I did. After 4 months, I never heard anything. Finally called the business again but they said they never received it. By this time, I had misplaced the post office slip. Needless to say, I never got my money back and I don't even have the hot iron. This was the biggest waste. Lost almost dollars, and no one really seemed to care. I will NEVER buy a refurbished item from Overstock again. Everything else I have purchased as been great. I was hoping Overstock might be a little more sympathetic, since I have purchased numerous items and spent mega dollars with them. It didn't happen...lol
I had tried various CHI products before and always have had good opinions about them. This iron is definitely a great product. I have very thick and wavy hair and with this iron it takes me 30 min maximum to straighten my hair after using the hairdryer. I love the price too because I would never spend over *** on a hair styling product since I don't use it every day. So overall, great product at a great price. My hair feels silky after I iron it with this CHI. I recommend.
I purchased the refurbished CHI and it looks and works like a brand new model. I have only had it a few weeks so will update at a later date if any problems arise. So far, I am very happy with the product and especially happy with the price.
I've been using the refurbished unit for a while and really like it, especially because i know just how much I saved. I've used CHI for years and can't tell the difference between the new and my refurbished. would recommend to anyone.
Good buy. Get's my thick and wavy hair strait without causing undue damage. Great product.
I have owned several irons. None compare to this. It is lightweight, easy on the hands. Hair comes straight, soft & silky.
Timely and as described. Thank you! Would buy from seller again.
The Chi, while it looks a bit used, seems to work well. The shipping was frustrating. According to UPS tracking, it was in my city on a Tuesday, only to leave and come back on a Thursday. Then sit for delivery on Tuesday.
The iron works perfectly and looks brand new. Chi is a high quality brand that is more expensive than I could have otherwise afforded. This refurbished iron is perfect for my everyday needs. The power cord is extra long, which is convenient. Overall, a great buy!
I love this flat iron. It's what the professionals use and I highly recommend it for home use also.

The treadmill has been useful for getting at least a minimal amount of exercise in each day--especially at night, and especially after I've been working late. I can use the treadmill for an hour while watching my favorite TV program or listening to my favorite radio show. There are many great things about this treadmill: 1) it was very cost effective at [$], compared to [$] 2) it was easy to assemble; 3) its compact design makes it easy to store; and 4) it is easy to use for low-tech, low-impact folks like me. There are no real bad things about the treadmill, except that it makes somewhat of a grinding sound when the belt is moving. I personally don't mind; but my neighbors might eventually get irritated by it and complain. I live in an old building where walls and ceilings are not very sound-proof, so you can hear everything that goes on in adjacent units. As a result, I cannot use it for long periods of time on any given day.

Pros: It was very easy to assemble and because of its size can be easily stored in the smallest of spaces. The calorie tracker is great as well as the timer. It does the job. Cons: The manual recommends that you "occasionally" use WD-40 to keep the belt smooth, however I have to grease it up every other day. When im walking on it it stops and i feel like I have to really push the belt with my feet to keep it going. Its at a permanent incline, which im sure ill get used to, but for people (like the elderly) who just need some light walking, this may not be the best idea. Its very strenuous on the knees. I suppose for the price i paid, it does only what its supposed to do and nothing else, get you moving.

Fantastic treadmill for its price!
By Tall guy in his 30s
from Phoenix, AZ
This is a great treadmill for the price. I'm terrible at assembling furniture that comes in a box, but this was quick and easy to put together. I did it all by myself in about 10 minutes. It folds up very nice and wheels around for easy, compact storage. It is absolutely fantastic for my daily goal of getting my heart rate up for about 20 minutes a day. The only con is that I'm 6'3" and the treadmill itself is situated on an incline (there's no option to make the surface flat), which means you HAVE to hold on to the handlebars in order to stay on, and when you're exceptionally tall, it's hard to reach the handlebars because they're too low. I literally have to hold on by my fingertips, which isn't great but, it's tolerable for 20 minutes a day. In summary: fantastic little machine for people on a budget who want to squeeze some exercise into their living room: even better for people under 6 feet tall.

Basic Treadmill for basic needs
By Joey
from Camden
About Me Rarely Workout
This is not a treadmill for the frequent exerciser or someone looking to do running. The treadmill is a walking treadmill as the description says. The front incline is a bit steep so someone who hasn't really exercised a lot might find it a bit difficult. Assembly is easy and took only minutes.
lots of fun to use

Hi there blogworld friends!
Just want to thank all of you who entered my little giveaway! It is always so nice to hear from you, see your blogs, read your comments!
I know, I know...you want to know who won.
Well...I can't tell you yet. I will,but not yet.
Did I tell you that I have been on a little break? It's not a real break, only a break from my usual routine. I have been working the whole time. But let me just say that I have truly found the method that works for me, if I want to really accomplish something.
Here it is:(the method) Check myself into a (cheap) hotel right here in my own town, and stay for at least 3 days and 3 nights, ALL BY MYSELF.
It's weird, I know. What's weirder is what I bring with me: My sewing machine and serger, all my sewing supplies, a boatload of fabric, my computer, printer, scanner, design tools, and some comfortable clothes. (Imagine what the hotel management thinks when they see me traipsing in with all that strange gear (hehe).
The other thing is...
NO husband, no kids, no laundry, no cooking, no cleaning, no homework, no dropping people off, picking people up, no distractions at all. I even put my phone on silent.
I have found that it's the most therapeutic thing for me, and I can whip out all kinds of stuff in record time. I only do this twice a year, about 3 or 4 months before each quilt market, cause that's when I start to panic:)
So when people ask how I do it with 7 kids, that's how.
BUT... tomorrow morning it all comes to an end:(
It's OK. I'm ready now. It's time to enter back into the real world, and be the real Mom again.
(I did cheat and let my kids come swimming in the pool a couple of times...that way they don't complain so much about me doing this.)
When I get home, the first thing on my agenda is to go to church with my family (and thank the Lord for giving me a husband who allows me to do everything that I do without complaining), and then come home and use the "online contest randomizer" to pick the PRIZE WINNERS!
Check back tomorrow...thanks for playing!
Love you all,
Sunday, January 30, 2011
Contest is over now...

Domestic shipments of mill products totaled 7,650 tonnes (16.9 million pounds) in the third quarter compared with 5,570 tonnes in the third quarter of 2005, according to figures released by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), which said 73 percent of mill product and castings shipments during the period were shipped for aerospace applications. The third quarter also matched the 7,610 tonnes shipped in the second quarter.

Primary Piffle in North Carolina
Posted on May 4, 2012
In the final week of a hotly fought Republican primary in North Carolina, one congressional candidate accuses his rival — in a mailer sent to GOP voters — of being a "Big Money Donor" to Democrats. And he accuses another of breaking a tax pledge. But we find both claims by …

Warm Water ShortiesA warm water shorty wetsuit offers some protection from the cold, while still allowing you full range of motion. A short wetsuit is perfect for a summer dive, keeping you comfortable and unrestricted and most importantly warm. This keeps you in the water longer without worry. Without long sleeves and pant legs, they're also much easier to get into and out of then other suits. A shorty wetsuit is also perfect for younger divers and snorkelers, especially children, helping them with buoyancy while still keeping them protected. |
Warm Water WetsuitsFor water temperatures from 75 to 85 degrees, a warm water wetsuit is ideal for scuba diving, snorkeling, or any water-based activity. A wetsuit designed for warm water is usually ˝ millimeter to 3 millimeters in thickness, or about an eighth of an inch. The advantage of a full wetsuit over a shorty wetsuit is the increased surface area, which is far better protection when encountering the stinging tendrils of a jellyfish. Not only that, but the extra material on your arms and legs also keeps you better protected from sunburn and the cold, which will allow you stay in the water even longer. |
Temperate Water WetsuitsFor cooler temperatures of 60 to 75 degrees, a temperate water wetsuit of 4mm to 6mm thickness is required. It can also be used for extended dives, deeper dives, and for cold weather in otherwise warmer locales. |
Cold Water WetsuitsWhen dealing with temperatures as low as 45 degrees, a cold water wetsuit is an absolute necessity for any cold-weather expedition. Usually made of 6.5 to 7mm thick material, a cold water wetsuit will keep you in the water and diving longer, while protecting you from hyperthermia. Gloves and boots are also a smart buy to match with your wetsuit, especially if you want to be able to do anything with your hands while you're under. |
Wetsuit AccessoriesMaintaining your wetsuit is just as important as using it, and this category is the place to go for any wetsuit needs. Pick up a folding hanger you can keep with you on the road, or grab an electric hanger that holds your wetsuit open and uses built-in fans to dry your suit out – something as large and wet as a wetsuit can take ages to dry, and a little extra help will protect your wetsuit from mildew and unneeded wear and tear. |
Full 1-Piece JumpsuitsWhen riding the waves in colder environments, a Full 1 Piece Surf Jumpsuit is indispensable for providing hours of warmth and comfort in otherwise inhospitable weather. A full wetsuit also protects your skin from sunburn, which can often sneak up on you during a lengthy outing, especially in cooler times of year when the sun is often an afterthought. |
Shorties and Everything ElseContaining a cornucopia of surf and watersport options, our Shorties and Everything Else category makes sure know style of suit, no matter how specialized, slips through the cracks. If you're looking for Sleeveless Shorties, Farmer John Wetsuits, Wetsuit Jackets, Bermuda Shorts, Wetsuit Vests, or Swim Shirts and everything in between, look no further. |

Donate medical equipment in Georgia
Its hard to believe that over 8.1 billion lbs of medical product is thrown out each year—most of which still usable. These life saving devices if redirected from the waste stream and properly redistributed could be in the hands of health professionals providing health care in the developing world. Imagine a child that can't have her broken leg realigned because the physician treating her does not have cast supplies, or a boy that has an open wound that can't be stitched because the doctor treating him lacks sutures. These situations, which are endemic to the developing world, are correctable—in fact they can be avoided entirely! What health care providers' need in the developing world is a means to receive donated medical equipment and supplies.
At Advocates for World Health, we redistribute donated medical equipment and supplies to organizations that are helping improve the infrastructure and delivery of health care. Nations that have received donated medical equipment and supplies have included Guatemala, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic among many others in Central America and Africa. Be an advocate today by donating your surplus or unwanted medical equipment and supplies. Click here to donate.

Audrey Hepburn
People always assume that the constant following of trends and rocking the latest/hottest thing on the catwalk will get them the attention they need to progress on the career ladder, attract the love of their life and boost their confidence. I die for trends but when it comes to dressing for success, I am inspired by old school roots of smart dressing. You know that sexy tailored look that my friend Ozwald Boateng designs? I die for that, I yearn for that. To me that is sexy and I would like to see more of this on young women.

1. | pretendian | ||
A wannabe American Indian. Usually exhibited by white people but blacks do it too. Claims to be 1/4th Native American or a lesser percentage, but usually have no definitive proof of it or of what tribe they're from (unless it's Cherokee of course). If such ancestry exists, they tend to exaggerate the very small amount that they have after generations of their family neglecting this heritage. Most annoying thing about these people is the smugness that they claim this lost heritage with. Upon being told by some senile relative or actually finding proof, they suddenly claim to know EVERYTHING about Native Americans and press for tribal membership while buying ambiguous, commodified Indian-themed jewelry and merchandise like dream-catchers. It's usually the first thing they put on their Myspace biographies, and get miffed when people don't referred to them as Native American or take them seriously as such (but say that they don't want people to "judge them for embracing their ancestral roots"). They also spend their time discrediting other white people who display Indian Princess Syndrome or people who actually have accountable Native ancestry. These people often have no grasp on Native culture and issues, both historical and contemporary. In the end, most people with accountable ancestry don't whore their heritage in order to look "exotic" and interesting. Sarah Worthington claims that her great-great-great grandmother was a Cherokee princess while discrediting the heritage of Sarah Red-Deer, who comes from the Pine Ridge Reservation, located in the poorest county in America and is deemed the most dangerous.
Guess which Sarah is the pretendian. |
2. | pretendian | ||
Every white person in America that claims to be 'part' Native American. I'm part Indian on my great grand mother's brother's uncle's sister side (Pretendian) but I don't have any way of proving it.
3. | pretendian | ||
One who claims to be Indian but doesn't exhibit Indian qualities or isn't Indian. It can also apply to a non-Indian who hangs around with nothing but Indians. Can apply to both India Indians and Native American Indians. Steven is such a pretendian.
4. | pretendian | ||
person who falsely claims native American heritage, lineage, Indian hoaxers bob claims to be an Indian, but he's short, bald and has a full beard, he's plainly a pretendian.
5. | Pretendian | ||
An actor or actress of non-Native American descent who plays a Native American on the screen or stage. I'm not an Indian, but I play one on TV.
So, you're a pretendian? Taylor Lautner, in the new Twilight film, prime example of a modern day pretendian. |
6. | Pretendian | ||
A motorcycle styled to look like the classic Indian motorcycles, but made from Harley-Davidson clone parts, or by another motorcycle company (i.e. Kawasaki). That Pretendian may look like an old Indian, but it's really a Harley clone beneath the sheet metal.

Got a HD radio tuner and a T-shaped wire antenna. Antenna attaches to tuner with a coax cable connector.
Listen to WLKK 107.7 FM/HD-2. Inside the building this station comes in about 50% of the time. HD is different from regular radio. You either get the signal or ya don't. This station goes off and on.
Move tuner, speakers, and T-shaped wire antenna to a screened porch. WLKK 107.7 FM/HD-2 comes in perfectly 100% of the time.
Want to mount a antenna to a wood picnic table in the screened porch. There is 4 foot vertical height available and 8 foot diameter horizontal space available. Would like to receive radio stations from all directions. Would like to listen to other stations besides the one listed above. What antenna would you recommend? What is best type of wire to use? Coaxial? There will be about 24 feet of wire from tuner to antenna. Do I need a amplifier? Please specify all parts needed.
Thanks for the help.

Www.CareerAirForce.nic.in – Air Force Careers – Be An Air Warrior
Your dream job is waiting for you in the Air Force. If you ever dreamt of being surrounded by awesome planes or being surrounded by a great team, then www.CareerAirForce.nic.in might have an opportunity for you in the Indian Air Force. There are many potential careers you could purse. There are many support positions. As a result, you don't just have to be a pilot or a desire to be a pilot. You might be an engineer with a passion for planes. Your expertise could possibly help the Indian Air Force achieve their goals. You might even be able to be an officer too. I know when I was growing up, I always wanted to be a pilot. I would dream of flying planes thousands of feet up in the sky. I also desired to repair the engines and get the opportunity to land them on aircraft carriers. The pilots who land on those ships are the most skilled pilots I have ever seen. You might be one of them too if you have the skills and passion required.
One of things many people who are thinking about air force careers may want to consider doing is to take the military aptitude test. You can access that test on the www.CareerAirForce.nic.in page to explore your aptitude. I feel this is a wonderful resource because you may not know your skills. Or you may be provided with new insights and opportunities that you had not fathomed yet. Don't limit your career options, explore all of the Indian Air Force careers before setting your sights on just one of them. To help you see if this is the right career path for you, they have wonderful resources to help you better understand what this job might entail. For example, the life in the air force section has a feature that allows you to theoretically look at how your career might take off in the right direction as an officer.
If I ever entered the military, I would want to enter as an officer. As a member of the Indian Air Force, it appears you get great benefits that will help provide for you and your family members. One of the other reasons you should consider a career in the Indian Air Force is the fact that there are opportunities to advance your education as a member of the team. After reading the first hand accounts of some of the members, I feel many people will want to be an officer in this military branch. To explore this potential job path, make sure you visit the official site of the Indian Air Force; accessing www.careerairforce.com will not take you to the desired page. However, you may found information there that is educational to you nonetheless.
My grandfather served in the airforce. He wanted to be a pilot, but he was denied the opportunity because he would soon learn that he had vertigo. Nevertheless, he was still accepted in to the Air Force and served with great pride for 8 years. He fixed planes and was quite skilled at making airplane parts when needed from scratch. He, of course, would also repair parts. But many praised him for his ability to make a part when they didn't have it on hand, but needed to get a plane back in the air. His engineering background and his mechanical skills really benefited the force. If you are interested in the career, you should familiarize yourself with the different training establishments.
As we learn on the www.CareerAirForce.nic.in site, there are many places where training takes place. For example, there is the NDA which stands for National Defence Academy and the Air Force Academy which is sometimes referred to as AFA. You might also have an interest in the AFTC or Air Force Technical College. The Air Force Administrative College known as AFAC and the Flying Training Establishments abbreviated as FTE also appear to be revered as excellent institutions of learning. If you are pursuing a career in the India Airforce, you should spend some time reading about their history. Pride in an institution such as the military comes from knowing your traditions and past. One day I hope I can realize my dream of flying an air force plane.
