Great Tent But Not Durable
By Bicycletim
from Australia
About Me Avid Adventurer
Comments about Orion 2 Tent - Green:
I agree with all the comments in regard to the design and comfort, fantastic tent. But we have worn it out in two years, it is not very durable, poles bent and dented, poles sticking together with corrosion in coastal situation, two big rips in the very faded flysheet presumably weakened from UV damage. We have two Macpac tents that have had similar use, one is 24yrs old the other about 15yrs old, we have has less trouble with both than the Orion and they are both still in perfect working order.
Love it

About Me Casual/ Recreational
I camp almost once a month with my scout troop. Since I'm the only female leader in my unit who camps, I always tent alone. I wanted a tent that was the right size for me and my gear as well as easy to put up/pack down by myself. After months of tent research, I decided the Exped Orion was the way to go. The exoskeleton design and freestanding (with vestibules) sold me, besides I love all the little extras Exped puts on their tents... Reflective lines and zipper pulls, lots of storage pockets, generous vestibules, ground cloths that extend into the vestibule space and so on. No regrets on this purchase. I love this tent!

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
Like I said, no suspense, no thought required. James Patterson has many good books. This however isn't one of them
The start of the book was pretty good - it moved well and kept my attention. Unfortunately, after about page 15 the book went downhill into an unrealistic, melodramatic rehashing of every bad cliche known to the detective story genre. While setting them out here might be considerred spoilers - they are so obvious pages in advance only the most dim-witted reader could miss them - our hero is not killed but rather paralysed by the shot-gun blasts to his body (remarkably bad shooting from point blank range); his wife is brutaly murdered by the bad guy who shot him; his partner is killed - just before he could give him the piece of information that would have put the whole puzzle together; there is a world-wide consipracy of crime that our hero is battling; there is a romance between the hard-working single mother investigative journalist and our hero; that romance takes them to the farm where our hero grew up to meet the simple hardworking folk that raised him; the influence of the world-wide conspiracy reaches into the highest levels of the police force - I'm sure that there are many, many more but I finally threw the book down in disgust.
This leads me to the question - is this a typical James Patterson book (ie. are they all this bad) or is this a bad book that would never have seen the light of day but for the latter success of James Patterson's other titles? I am very curious about this because I can not believe that anyone this popular consistently writes books this bad.
Under this system the least you can give a book is one star. This book should be given negative stars - in fact what I really want is to get back the time I wasted reading this book.
The detective in The Midnight Club is also an interesting character being that he is confined to a wheel chair.
A lot of reviews seem to dislike this book but I think it is sensational. For those who have never read a Patterson novel it is also great as you do not have to be familiar with any other books to fully appreciate the characters. For those who have read them this is a different detective to follow other than Alex Cross and the Women's Murder Club.


text: Life is one fascinating movie, Whose cast love in a world, Created by the imagination of splendor, Beauty of power, And the sweetness of success. But at each scene of the movie, Lies a minute des position, Of a dream forgotten, Of a vision unfulfilled, Of a dream unrealized. As the reel of life rolls on, So are fates and destinies reached, Some so beautiful, Others so painful, The melancholy of life. It is so unfortunate, That the movie is shot without practice, The cast with hardly an idea of the script, Unfold the drama, Mostly with incorrigible errors, And at the end, It's a Bravo to one, And a lash of regret to another, The reel of life.

• Strap: Black grained leather.
• Buckle: Brass with black lacquer.
• Width: 30mm.
• This belt has been designed to be cut to the exact length. .
This means you have a belt that has been specially and uniquely fitted to you, rather than having to buy a belt that is only approximately the right length.
The belt strap is simple to cut with a sharp pair of scissors and can be done either as a free service on one of our dunhill stores or at home.
To ensure that you cut it to the right length, you can either measure yourself around the waist, or measure the belt that you normally wear from the end of the strap by the buckle to the hole normally use.
Remove the buckle, releasing the mechanism on the back of the buckle and measure the same length on the strap of the new belt – make sure you do this from the centre hole, or the one you prefer to use, to the end where the buckle fits.
Always cut the belt a little longer than you measured – this will allow you to make further adjustments when you try it on for size.
This casual belt features a beautifully patterned grained leather which combines seamlessly with the black buckle, keeper and pin.
One of the very few unstitched belts in the collection, it also features a blind embossed AD logo, two additions that adds to the luxurious feel.
Free delivery service. We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours, the estimated DHL delivery time is 2-3 working days after dispatch.
However, if you live in a remote area of your country, deliveries may take 1 or 2 days longer.
Free returns. Read about our returns policy here.

This week's featured question from the ASK SAADIA column:
I have a question for you: when booking a tour in a foreign country and they ask you to either pay by bank transfer (bank charges a fee) or credit card but you must pay an extra 3%, which is safer? My credit card doesn't have a foreign transaction fee at least. The bank fee and 3% fee is about the same.

Travel Blogs from Leon
For a pleasant change, we sailed into the port of Corinto at around 8:30, this morning, instead of before dawn, so we could watch the goings on. First we pulled in near the spot we wanted, then the boat did a complete 360 degree turn. Not in a circle, but on its axis, if you can picture what I mean. Then the ship slid sideways towards the pier. …
We Satisfied the Need for Speed (Kind of)
We met our second day in Leon without a plan but we picked up steam as the day progressed. We started with an early morning walk through the streets of Leon and enjoyed the bustle of the city. The combination of motor bikes, cars, taxis, and horse-drawn carts makes this place so special. Leon is beautiful, yet gritty at the same time.

He was captured as a youth after a game of ball with his friends. Because he was dirty the government forces accused him of coming from the mountains where the rebels were massing. He was …
Touring Managua and Leon
We check out this morning and spend a few hours visiting some of the highlights of Managua, including the National Palace Museum and a drive up to a viewpoint overlooking the old and new sections of the city. After a great lunch we head for Leon, a former capital city. We intend to visit Leon Viejo on the way, but time is short as we need to see …

EVENTS Fantasy Central Inside Game Video Plus Statitudes Your Turn Message Boards Email Newsletters Golf Guide Cities
CNNSI.com GROUP
By Seth Davis By any reasonable measure, Seton Hall had a disastrous basketball season. With the nation's top-rated freshman class, the Pirates were preseason favorites in the Big East and by early December had reached No. 7 in the country. Two weeks ago, however, the Hall concluded a 16-15 campaign with a first-round loss in the NIT, a result that might have had fourth-year coach Tommy Amaker fearing for his future. Yet last Thursday, Amaker stood behind a podium in Ann Arbor as the new coach at Michigan, where a five-year, $4.5 million contract awaited his signature. Talk about March Madness. Last month 30 Division I schools bade farewell to their coaches, only three of whom left wholly by choice. While such turnover has some observers caterwauling about the perils facing today's sideline stompers, the reality is there has never been a better time for a coach to be unemployed. It's simple supply and demand: By creating so many job openings, athletic directors across the country have produced a booming seller's market for college coaches. That's not exactly smart, considering that athletic directors are the ones doing the buying. Take Wisconsin A.D. Pat Richter. Though interim coach Brad Soderberg guided the Badgers to an 18-11 record and an NCAA tournament berth after Dick Bennett unexpectedly retired on Nov. 30, Richter fired Soderberg on March 19, wanting a bigger name. But when it was clear he couldn't get Utah's Rick Majerus or California's Ben Braun, Richter hired Bo Ryan, 53, who went 30-27 in two years at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Instead of promoting the perfectly qualified Soderberg, Richter disrupted two programs and still ended up with a coach no one had heard of. The paradox is that even as some athletic directors are setting ridiculously high standards -- can someone explain why Ohio fired Larry Hunter after he went 19-11? -- others are lowering the bar, especially concerning contract extensions. Braun, Steve Alford (Iowa), Paul Hewitt (Georgia Tech), Jeff Ruland (Iona) and Tim Welsh (Providence) each has been at his school for three years or less, and all but Alford lost in the first round of this year's NCAA tournament. Yet all five have either signed or agreed to lucrative extensions. "If you find someone who's a good fit, it's incumbent on you to try to keep him there," says Providence athletic director John Marinatto, who gave Welsh seven additional years after Rutgers came sniffing around about its vacancy. "We want stability, but that's hard to find in this marketplace." Coaches, too, say they want stability, but what they really want is opportunity, of which there's plenty these days. It's unfortunate when capable men are shown the door, but there's no need for folks like Hunter and Soderberg to despair. As long as the coaching carousel stays in motion, there will be plenty of room on board for everyone.

"An accessible and engaging exploration of the mysteries of time." -Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe
Twenty years ago, Stephen Hawking tried to explain time by understanding the Big Bang. Now, Sean Carroll says we need to be more ambitious. One of the leading theoretical physicists of his generation, Carroll delivers a dazzling and paradigm-shifting theory of time's arrow that embraces subjects from entropy to quantum mechanics to time travel to information theory and the meaning of life.
From Eternity to Here is no less than the next step toward understanding how we came to exist, and a fantastically approachable read that will appeal to a broad audience of armchair physicists, and anyone who ponders the nature of our world.

The parents of a Lincoln County girl who reported being molested by a priest are now suing St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson, claiming he knew the priest was a danger to children. The suit, filed Friday in Lincoln County, asks for unspecified damages.
The teenage girl had told police last June that Father Xiu Hui "Joseph" Jiang, an associate pastor at the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica in the Central West End, had molested her. The 30 year old priest was later charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
Good news for the growing resident population in the Delmar Loop: A grocery store is coming.
Washington University will formally announce on Thursday that specialty grocer Global Foods Market has agreed to lease nearly 15,000 square feet in the five-story student apartment building going up at Delmar and Eastgate. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that it will be the second Global Foods Market in the metro area. The first opened in Kirkwood in 1999.
The paper reports that Blueberry Hill owner Joe Edwards will put his new Peacock Loop Diner in the building next door.
The Lofts of Washington University will house about 600 students beginning in August of next year (2014).
The Francis Howell school board will meet Thursday night to hammer out the nuts and bolts of accepting transfer students from the failing Normandy school district. The board will vote on issues including class size limits, tuition and a payment schedule.
District officials want average class sizes to remain at or below desirable levels outlined by the state department of education. At that level, the district would have room for about 600 transfer students. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that as of Wednesday, 196 students had applied to transfer into the district.
The district is also expected to approve a tuition rate of $11,034 per student, enough to allow them to hire a part time administrator to answer parents' questions, and assist in placing transfer students from Normandy.
Normandy students have until August 1 to file transfer applications. Class begins in Francis Howell schools on August 8.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is still viewed as the world's leading economic power in many countries, according to polls in 39 nations by the Pew Research Center's Global Attitudes Project. But as the Great Recession has buffeted the U.S. economy, China has gained rapidly in the eyes of the rest of the world, and many say it ultimately will replace America as the world's top global economic force.
In 22 of the 39 nations polled, the U.S. is seen as the top global economy, while China is viewed as having the upper hand in eight countries, including U.S. allies Canada, Britain, Germany and France. Surprisingly, Americans are about evenly divided over which country has the stronger economy, with 44 percent saying China and 39 percent the United States.
Since 2008, the population share that calls China the world's top economy has just about doubled in Spain, Germany and Britain, nearly tripled in Russia, and gained 22 points in France. Of the 20 countries Pew surveyed in both 2008 and 2013, all but two are now significantly more likely to say China is the world's leading economic power.
In 18 of the countries polled, half or more believe China has or will replace the U.S. as the world's top economic force, while majorities in only three believe the U.S. will maintain its top economic position.
The surveys, conducted before news about the NSA's surveillance programs broke, also found that 37 of the 39 countries saw the U.S. as a good steward of individual liberty than a poor one.
Before leaks of classified documents revealed widespread U.S. tracking of Internet communications among people in other countries, many said they were confident President Barack Obama would do the right thing in world affairs, including 88 percent in Germany and 83 percent in France, two allies whose official reactions to the spying program have been broadly negative. Few in those nations think the U.S. gives their countries' concerns much weight when setting foreign policy; just 35 percent in France and half in Germany say America considers their interests at least "a fair amount."
Other findings from the surveys:
— The U.S. is viewed favorably by a majority in 28 of the 38 other nations tracked in the poll, with favorability ratings above 80 percent in Ghana, Senegal and Kenya in Africa, Israel in the Middle East and the Philippines in Asia. America fares worst in the Middle East, where most have an unfavorable opinion in five of seven nations surveyed, including 81 percent with a negative view in Egypt and 70 percent unfavorable in Turkey.
— Among those in nations that receive U.S. economic aid, Egyptians and Pakistanis are more apt to say the assistance is having a negative impact on their country, while other African nations surveyed view such assistance as a positive influence.
— Majorities in just three of the 39 countries say they approve of the U.S. use of drones to target extremists: Israel (64 percent approve), the United States (61 percent approve) and Kenya (56 percent approve).
— More than 9 in 10 in Japan (96 percent) and South Korea (91 percent) say that China's growing military power is a bad thing.
The Pew Research Center interviewed 37,653 respondents in 39 countries from March 2 through May 1, 2013. Interviews were conducted face-to-face or by telephone, depending on the country, and are representative of at least 95 percent of the adult population of each nation except for China and Pakistan, where the samples were disproportionately urban, Argentina, Bolivia, Greece, Indonesia and Malaysia, where some difficult to reach or rural populations were excluded, and the Czech Republic and Japan, where interviews were conducted either by cellular or landline telephone only.

Athletic shoes
Need an athletic shoe, general purpose (Elliptical, weights, biking) With a high arch.
Want something that will not rip apart in a few months. Don't like New Balance, my north face are ok, but not great. Any recommendations with a high arch? |

gonna have to get some inserts. I need good support and have tried everything but custom shoes. (above my pay grade).
my last pair was saucony and those were pretty good. I currently have a nice set of nike's that I am happy with, but its about time for a new pair. I run a bit and the tread is almost bald and making running in snow/slush difficult |

Fucking Zen as Shit
I will definitely use inserts. But i've found if the shoes don't have decent arch support to start with, once i put inserts in they tend to raise my foot to far into the top of the shoe.
The north face even taking the regular insole out and putting new ones in, they are to tight on the top put too wide overall = not comfortable and blisters on arch. |

I have a pair of sauconys and they seem to have a higher arch then any of the other athletic shoes I've had. They're about 4 years old and are still in great shape, granted I really only use them for athletic purposes

Someone is making your Inserts wrong. When you say arch do you mean instep height? I am having a hard time figuring out what you mean when you said without a high arch to start with then inserts push your foot to high. Last edited by JDRL; January 5th, 2014 at 09:18 PM. |

I like my reebok reelflex. Not sure how high the arches are or how they would be outside. I use them at the gym and have been real happy with them. They have good coushining and helped get rid of the shinsplints I gave myself with my cheap Nikes and poor running mechanics. If you are having bad luck with big box brands though, I would say jthomp gave some good advice.

Shoes are only designed to last 3-6 months if you use them often. After that, the materials are broken down and are not doing their job to properly protect you.

All this advice from everybody is pretty much pointless. Different shape feet, different strides, different foot placement, different activities means a shoe that works well for one person may be terrible for another. Go to a good shoe store, have them measure your feet, try on several recommended shoes and fine one that feels good for you.

x2, yes...they now have many different models of the zigs. I bought mine as some sort of closeout priced pair, and am quite pleased with mine. Mine don't seem to last the longest, but I wear them all the time.

Fucking Zen as Shit
To a point yes. But is a particular brand has a good following i'll trend towards that. Most employee's in shoe stores around here are 18-24 idiots who need a foot up their ass. I'm not taking their opinion. |

Description: Elite Force products are designed for the serious airsoft player who engages in tactical milsim missions and demands top performance from their equipment. These extreme airsoft rifles will let you engage your enemy on your terms and come out ahead in any skirmish you may find yourself in. The Elite Force M27 IAR is one of the most realistic airsoft representation of the real steel H&K 416 IAR (M27). This gun is full metal and features officially licensed H&K trademarks on the lower receiver. VFC followed up their excellent line of work in creating an excellent internal system for this AEG. VFC's custom pistol grip is slimmer to emulate a real gun pistol grip. The H&K 416 IAR (M27) stock is a unique feature and comes padded to remain comfortable and secure to the shooter. If you try to upgrade a Tokyo Mauri into the VFC 416, youll spend more than a $1000.00 trying to do it. By far the best bang for the buck. The Elite Force M27 IAR consists of an 11" IAR Free Float Rail System, Steel Barrel, and an Enlarged Charging Handle for easy weapon manipulation. Overall this is a great rifle especially for those who have taken the support role in the field.
Specifications: Manufacturer: Elite Force Muzzle Velocity: 390-400 FPS Magazine Capacity: 300 rounds Color: Tan Gearbox Type: Version 2 Package includes: Gun, Magazine
Please Note:
How Does this Affect Airsoft?
In reality, this change doesn't affect airsoft tactics much at all. Each airsoft gun is quite capable of accurate suppressive fire with a box magazine capable of holding up to 800 rounds. In a sense, the average airsoft game is very similar to players firing light machine guns at one another. Nonetheless, those interested in replicating a USMC automatic rifleman build will no longer have to invest in a very heavy SAW platform.

) to neutral from underperform.
Analyst Randall Mehl says Administaff is likely to report third-quarter results the week of Nov. 3; he anticipates earnings per share of 19 cents EPS, and revenue growth of 1%, which reflects a decline in worksite employees (WSE). Mehl says unit growth remains a wild card. However, he anticipates monthly gross profit per WSE to be around 17% or higher -- reflecting a new billing system and fee increases. The analyst believes Administaff is making an adjustment to lower operating costs. He upgraded the shares on a recent pullback in the stock, and what he considers to be a moderating near term risk profile.

You could also isolate the US and for 2012 it makes very interesting reading. Jan - to Nov 2012 = the warmest year ever on record (annual not in yet). But then why isolate the US when looking at global warming. You do make me laugh. You aren't a skeptic, you don't have enough knowledge, even your cherry picking is poor and transparent.
The term denialist is there for a reason, and you demonstrate it daily.
So after all this time your above post is your evidence of a worsening cooling and forthcoming ice age. I really am LOL!
2 year period?
That laughable warmy position yet again - no matter how much of the world shows a cooling trend, and for how long, overall it's still warming. In some way. Which no-one's yet been able to identify. And that's supposed to stand duty for the "catastrophic runaway 'hockey-stick' global warming" we were warned was bound to accompany rising atmospheric CO2, such as we have now. No wonder your Cause has become a laughing-stock even among most of the lay public.
Or possibly they're just people who respect science and loathe fraud in general and science fraud in particular. Which makes it an important and entirely worthwhile exercise to expose the giant politically-motivated fraud that is MMGW. And to keep on trying to reveal that the only weapons its defenders have are baseless assertions and irrelevant smears.
If you respect science and how it works, you would appreciate and respect the peer review process and seriously question why it is those 'experts' you quote never put anything to the process. There is only one reason why that it - they have no evidence and their own theories don't stack up and they know it. Bearing in mind most of them at some point have been funded by the oil industry, if they could produce a credible paper, they would have made a fortune.
Peer review only ensures certain standards and procedure is met, usually for publishing in somewhere.
It does not guarantee the claims or conclusions of a paper is correct or that its subsequent usage to back other conjecture is valid.
And if you appreciate how 'science works' then you will know observation is the final validation. If it fails this, it is flawed, flawed theory has no value and should be rejected.
As pointed out many times, "the oil industry" has no or little interest in arguing about MMGW, they make even more money because of the theory.

On May 12, Emily Good was arrested and charged with obstructing governmental administration.
On that evening, Good, who lives in Rochester, N.Y., saw flashing blue lights outside her home and went outside to see what was going on. At the edge of her lawn, police had stopped a motorist, had handcuffed him and were asking him questions.
The three officers were polite in speaking with the motorist, and gentle in detaining him.
While police were interviewing the motorist, Good stood on her lawn in her pajamas and filmed the encounter, which she later posted online.
As an officer walked the detained motorist to a cruiser, another officer approached Good and asked her to go into her house. She asked why, pointing out that she was on her own property and was entitled to film activity on a public street. The officer told her that he didn't feel safe with her standing behind him.
The officer was polite, but insistent.
Good was equally polite, and confused.
She explained that she was concerned about what was going on in her neighborhood, she was not armed, and she was not getting in the way of officers making the arrest. Most importantly, she was entitled to stand in her own front yard.
The officer ordered Good inside; she refused to go and was arrested.
On Monday, the charge against Good was dismissed after her attorney argued that Good would have had to use intimidation or force to interfere with the traffic stop to be guilty of obstruction. Since she was 10 to 15 feet away from officers, prosecutors dismissed the charge, with the full support of the city's mayor, council president and police chief.
Some people in that city supported the police response as justified, according to the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper, but Good's supporters say police arrested her simply because they were aggravated by her videotaping.
Whatever you might think of the situation, Emily Good is among a new and permanent class of citizen journalists — people who actively gather information and "publish" it online.
When reporting and publishing truthfully and responsibly, Good is a welcome breed.
As Edward Wasserman, Knight professor of journalism ethics at Washington and Lee University wrote in Sunday's Press Herald, without citizen journalism the public would never have seen the brutal beating of Rodney King a decade ago.
We would not have seen videotape of the University of Florida student who pleaded with police: Don't Tase me bro!"
Police are an easy target for citizen journalists, and some departments across the country have earned increased public scrutiny because of rough tactics.
But, citizen journalism is so much more than monitoring police.
Right now, citizen journalists are augmenting professional journalists in reporting the flooding in Minot, N.D., just as they did during and after Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Citizen journalists reported on 9/11, have covered G8 Summits around the world and track celebrities like the most determined paparazzi.
But most citizen journalists are like Emily Good, people concerned about what's going on in their neighborhood and reporting what they see.
This new stream of information, as long as it is accurate, is not to be feared but embraced.
People standing outside their homes, recording activity on neighborhood streets are not criminals.
The opinions expressed in this column reflect the views of the ownership and editorial board.

New York, 29 August, 1790.
That New Orleans and the Spanish posts on the Mississippi will be among the first attempts of the English, in case of a war with Spain, appears very probable; and that a combined operation from Detroit would be convenient to that end, cannot be doubted. The consequences on the western settlements, on the commerce with the West Indies, and on the general security and tranquillity of the American Confederation, of having them in our rear and on both our flanks, with their navy in front, are very obvious.
The interest of the United States duly weighed, and their duty conscientiously considered, point out to them, in the case of such a war, a neutrality, as long as it may be practicable. The people of these States would not willingly support a war, and the present government has not strength to command, nor enough of the general confidence of the nation to draw, the men or money necessary, until the grounds, causes, and necessity of it should become generally known and universally approved. A pacific character, in opposition to a warlike temper, a spirit of conquest, or a disposition to military enterprise, is of great importance to us to preserve in Europe; and, therefore, we should not engage, even in defensive war, until the necessity of it should become apparent, or, at least, until we have it in our power to make it manifest in Europe as well as at home.
In order to preserve an honest neutrality, or even the reputation of a disposition to it, the United States must avoid, as much as possible, every real wrong, and even every appearance of injury to either party. To grant to Lord Dorchester, in case he should request it, permission to march troops through the territory of the United States, from Detroit to the Mississippi, would not only have an appearance, offensive to the Spaniards, of partiality to the English, but would be a real injury to Spain. The answer, therefore, to his Lordship, should be a refusal, in terms clear and decided, but guarded and dignified; in a manner which no power has more at command than the President of the United States.
If a measure so daring, offensive, and hostile, as the march of troops through our territory to attack a friend, should be hazarded by the English without leave, or especially after a refusal, it is not so easy to answer the question what notice ought to be taken of it.
The situation of our country is not like that of most of the nations in Europe. They have, generally, large numbers of inhabitants in narrow territories. We have small numbers scattered over vast regions. The country through which the Britons must pass from Detroit to the Mississippi is, I suppose, so thinly inhabited, and at such a distance from all the populous settlements, that it would be impossible for the President of the United States to collect militia or march troops sufficient to resist the enterprise. After the step shall have been taken, there are but two ways for us to proceed; one is war, and the other negotiation. Spain would probably remonstrate to the President of the United States; but whether she should or not, the President of the United States should remonstrate to the King of Great Britain. It would not be expected, I suppose, by our friends or enemies, that the United States should declare war at once. Nations are not obliged to declare war for every injury, or even hostility. A tacit acquiescence, under such an outrage, would be misinterpreted on all hands; by Spain as inimical to her, and by Britain as the effect of weakness, disunion, and pusillanimity. Negotiation, then, is the only other alternative.
Negotiation, in the present state of things, is attended with peculiar difficulties. As the King of Great Britain twice proposed to the United States an exchange of ministers, once through Mr. Hartley, and once through the Duke of Dorset, and when the United States agreed to the proposition, flew from it; to send a minister again to St. James's, till that court explicitly promises to send one to America, is a humiliation to which the United States ought never to submit. A remonstrance from sovereign to sovereign cannot be sent but by an ambassador of some order or other; from minister of state to minister of state it might be transmitted in many other ways. A remonstrance, in the form of a letter from the American Minister of State to the Duke of Leeds, or whoever may be secretary of state for foreign affairs, might be transmitted through an envoy, minister plenipotentiary, or ambassador of the President of the United States at Paris, Madrid, or the Hague, and through the British ambassador at either of those courts. The utmost length that can be now gone, with dignity, would be to send a minister to the court of London, with instructions to present his credentials, demand an audience, make his remonstrance; but to make no establishment, and demand his audience of leave, and quit the kingdom in one, two, or three months, if a minister of equal degree were not appointed, and actually sent, to the President of the United States from the King of Great Britain.
It is a misfortune that, in these critical moments and circumstances, the United States have not a minister of large views, mature age, information, and judgment, and strict integrity, at the courts of France, Spain, London, and the Hague. Early and authentic intelligence from those courts may be of more importance than the expense; but, as the representatives of the people, as well as of the legislatures, are of a different opinion, they have made a very scanty provision for but a part of such a system. As it is, God knows where the men are to be found who are qualified for such missions, and would undertake them. By an experience of ten years, which made me too unhappy at the time to be ever forgotten, I know that every artifice which can deceive, every temptation which can operate on hope or fear, ambition or avarice, pride or vanity, the love of society, pleasure, or amusement, will be employed to divert and warp them from the true line of their duty, and the impartial honor and interest of their country.
To the superior lights and information derived from office, the more serene temper and profound judgment of the President of the United States, these crude and hasty thoughts concerning the points proposed are humbly submitted, with every sentiment of respect and sincere attachment, by his
John Adams.
Philadelphia, 25 April, 1791.
I do myself the honor to transmit to you my accounts which remain unsettled, for the last two years and eight months of my administrations abroad in the service of the United States. I have left a blank for my salary. In my own opinion it is but justice that it should be filled up with the sum of two thousand five hundred pounds sterling a year, because this was the contract under which I accepted my commission for the peace in 1779, and that for their High Mightinesses in 1781, which last continued in force until my return home. The resolution of Congress, which stated the salary of a minister abroad at nine thousand dollars, could not reasonably be intended to operate upon ministers and commissions which had been given and accepted upon different conditions. Such an interpretation of it would make it amount to a breach of public faith. Moreover, I have been well informed by Mr. Gerry, who proposed the alteration, that the reason of this resolution was a supposition that, in that time of peace, the expenses of living in Europe were reduced. This motive was so far from being a just one, as applied to me, that I found the expenses of living in London about a quarter part dearer than I had ever known them in Paris or the Hague. This, therefore, was rather a reason for raising my salary to three thousand pounds sterling a year, which I actually spent, than for reducing it to nine thousand dollars. I have been informed by Mr. Barclay that Dr. Franklin charged, and has been allowed, two thousand five hundred pounds sterling a year till his return, and as I am in the same predicament with him, it is at least as just that it should be allowed to me; indeed, it is more so, because I certainly was obliged to spend more than that sum, and he undoubtedly spent less.
I have also requested an allowance for a private secretary. As the business of my mission to Holland, as well as that to England, lay upon me, in addition to my share in all the negotiations with Prussia and the other powers of Europe, as well as the Barbary States, it may readily be conceived that I had a great deal of business and still more writing to do, as copies of all such correspondences must be preserved, and therefore I hope the charge for a private secretary will not be thought unreasonable.
An allowance is asked also for one ministerial or diplomatic entertainment for each year. This is done for three reasons: 1. because it is the custom of the whole Corps Diplomatique; 2. because it seems to be a reasonable custom; and 3. because Mr. Franklin has charged and been allowed for all extraordinary entertainments, as I suppose, as he told me he had charged them or should charge them.
An outfit I have asked for, amounting to one year's salary. This will be but a very inadequate compensation to me, for the extraordinary expenses I was put to by the variety of services and multiplicity of commissions which were heaped upon me. My case is singular, and distinguished from that of every other gentleman who has ever been sent abroad in the service of the United States. In 1779, Congress sent me abroad, with two commissions, one to negotiate a peace, and another to his Britannic Majesty to negotiate a treaty of commerce with that power. Under these commissions I went to Paris, and resided there, which obliged me to take a house or apartments ready furnished, and establish a household, equipage, and set of servants there. In 1780, Congress sent me a commission to borrow money in Holland, to the amount of ten millions of dollars. This obliged me to live in Holland. In 1781, Congress sent me a commission to treat with that republic, and a letter of credence to the States-General. This obliged me to hire a house and completely furnish it, because there was no such thing to be hired in Holland as furniture, as might be done and was done by Mr. Deane, Mr. Franklin, Mr. Jay, and myself at Paris. My commission for the peace obliged me to make journeys to Versailles. My commission for borrowing money not only augmented my expenses, but gave me more trouble and occasioned more labor and perplexity than all the other services. The frequent removals from one country to another, the continual change of servants and liveries, the wear and tear of baggage, and destruction of furniture, beside the perpetual plunder I was subjected to in my absence from my house in one country, while attending my duty in another, have wasted and consumed my salary in such a manner, that my family must be deprived of that reward for my time, trouble, risk, and services, which all of us were entitled to, and which some may have been happy enough honestly to secure. I say all of us were entitled to it, because Congress, on the 28th September, 1776, resolved, that their ministers should live in such a style and manner as they might find suitable and necessary to support the dignity of their public character, and that, besides their actual expenses, a handsome allowance be made to each of them, as a compensation for their time, trouble, risk, and services.
If the articles I have submitted are allowed me, difficult as it will be to justify myself to my family, I shall be content; but if not, I must crave an allowance of one half per cent., as commissions on nine millions of guilders, by me borrowed in Holland for the United States. When Congress allows four per cent. to the houses of Willink and Van Staphorst, and their undertakers, upon all these loans, which has already amounted to a handsome fortune to each house, it would be extremely hard and unreasonable to oblige me, who had more trouble with every one of these loans than those houses had—nay, who had more trouble with the first of them than they have had with the whole—not only to do this whole business for nothing, but live at my own expense while I did it. This must be my hard fate, if nothing can be allowed me as commissions, nor for extraordinary services. Considerable sums were spent by me, at times, for secret services, and other sums, to no small amount, were advanced to Americans in distress, some of them in prison, and others escaped; but, as I have no vouchers for these and I suppose Congress would not be willing to set a precedent, I make no charge for them, although they were advanced out of my own money—part of my salary. Let me ask the favor of you, Sir, to look over these accounts, and then present them to the auditor, that they may be settled in some way or other by the next session of Congress. With great esteem I have the honor to be, Sir, your most obedient and most humble servant,

Before the 1960s, the goal for leaders was to have a title, a position in some organization where you could marshal others for a noble cause or for business purposes. Leaders wore their titles proudly (even the title 'pastor') and enjoyed the influence that they had within a community. Then the information age rolled in around in the 1980s (I think we were all distracted by the great music in the 1970s and took some time off to sing along) and the new goal was to be the 'expert' – the one that had the inside information that no one else had, the answers to particular social, spiritual, or economic problems. Then the open source Web world emerged in the 1990s and flattened everything. Now, all of us had access to inside information and we threw research and reason out the window in exchange for public opinion as the new determinant of value. (Perhaps I say this a bit too strongly, but you can make a convincing argument here without having to look too far)

Steve Argue recently commented on Twitter that he doesn't wear headphones because – I don't want to distract myself from facing 'me'. Most of us who run would understand the situation he described. Good running pushes us through our barriers, past our limits, and flushes out toxins (both physically and emotionally). Good running strips away the pretty exterior, the excuses of inactivity, and fosters a prolonged period of combined physical strain and repetitive silence. I find when I run, it feels as if I'm overcoming depressed feelings, laziness, and anxiety, reminding body and mind that they are to be alive, vibrant, and active.
Steve's comment also points to the ongoing internal conversations with self that often take place during extended exercise. These therapeutic reflections help us process problems, reflect on past conversations, and engage in creative thinking (if only we had a pen to write those down!). In fact, the old creative adage is that we have our most creative thoughts at one of the three "B's" – bath, bed, and bike. We have some of our best ideas just before we go to sleep or while in the shower or while outside biking/running.
byEvery now and then I develop some exercises to help other leaders develop their self-awareness and I like to share them on here for you to use. A few months ago I offered one called Nurturing Your Sphere of Influence that helped me take intentional steps to nurture others (a key leadership skill I look for) around me. So many times we miss opportunities to help those with whom we work, lead, teach, meet, counsel, and even live to grow to their potential. And that exercise was helpful for others, too, based on the response I received.
Lately, perhaps it's just the effects of the last weeks of a very cold winter, I've been listening to leaders who feel s.p.e.n.t. They are drained, easily frazzled, and therefore question their abilities even though they are highly gifted. I do think this is a seasonal reality for those of us (e.g. youth pastors, teachers) who work within a 'school schedule' where the end of the year is May or June in the northern hemisphere. But I also think there are some patterns that driven and gifted people enact that hurt them.
byThis past weekend, the server that hosts this website crashed – the hard drive ruined beyond repair. Fortunately we have a great hosting service and the good folks there were able to restore all of the data on a new server. The whole experience got me to thinking about the phrase "hard drive crash." I particularly thought of those of us who are 'driving hard' in life, our ambition to make a difference (or make a living, provide for family, have renown) fuels the daily TO DO list and pushes us beyond the traditional boundaries of a 40-hour work week.
What if your hard drive crashes? I don't mean the physical one your computer. What if the ambition waned and suddenly you were challenged to live a normal life right where you are? What if you didn't have the desire to do more? Worse (perhaps), what if you were required to life a regular life? Work a 40 hour work and live in the same local community for the rest of your life? You'd wake up every day to the same folks at the local coffee shop. Have a hobby. Raise a great family. Live and love well. And do little beyond the walls of that community. You might even take up golf … without the golf cart of course (go green!).
byIf I asked you, "Why do you work?" what would be your answer?
What if you could take three steps and not have to work anymore- what would you do?
What if convinced you that, at the end of your career, life will have felt like three steps and you'll be left with reflections on how you spend your 100,000 working hours of life? I've worked with leaders who have come to retirement age, or have had to step down from positions of influence. It's a difficult and emotional step.
byI think the number of sunny days we've had here in January can be counted on one hand. Easily. Now, I'm not terribly seasonal in spirit, but I do miss the sunshine. One local counselor joked that Chicago should just put Prozac in the water supply in February. People do get discouraged during this time of year.
This past month I spoke with two leaders who, despite their prominence and outgoing persona, each shared of private seasons of discouragement. These feelings hadn't thwarted their work in any way, but the persistent feelings fostered even greater disappointment in themselves… for being discouragement.
byI work with leaders from a wide range of experience levels. Some have reached the top in their field, worthy of a "lifetime achievement award" or its equivalent. But, I have witnessed a repeated phenomenon I first heard characterized on the Scott Van Pelt show on ESPN radio. Scott commented on the ongoing struggles of an NFL star quarterback to end his career well and added, "The dismount from the top is never graceful."
Too often, those who are used to success, to being in charge, and being in the limelight have difficult finishing well. These leaders, and their board of directors, haven't thought about next steps, maybe an exit plan, a succession strategy, or even had the more difficult discussion that their own preferences impede an organization's ability to move forward.

Intro was very polished and compelling. Game play is very choppy. After one play, I wanted to quit and never come back. Perhaps a tutorial or practice round that exposes the player to much of what the game has to offer could keep people interested. There is SO much out there similar to this game play that I do not know what makes this any different and or interesting?
I'm sorry to hear that the difficulty put you off so fast, were currently working on fixing it by adding hearts. If your able to play it a bit longer (which I believe you will when the difficulty is fixed) you will see more of the features we have added that make it stand out from the average run 'n' jump.
Hopefully this update will entice you back to play again, it should be in place by tomorrow! =]
the tutorila signs freeze up t times and i couldnt run past a few feet in the tunnel because of the signs inability o lose
I'm not sure I understand you. It seems that you were unable to see the writing above the sign that clearly states "press enter to close". If this isn't the case and it is due to a bug please let me know.
I did think it was a interesting game. But I also felt it could really use some finessing. A few things that I thought would be nice:
1) Health pickups. Even if it is just the occasional single heart renewal. You are bound to get hit in this game, it would be nice to have some way of getting health back.
2) I didn't really find the mutation all that helpful except when climbing the vertical parts. And even then it wore off way too quickly to be of any great use. The fact that it cut your damage in half was completely negated by the fact that being larger and faster (with seemingly less control) made you more than twice as likely to hit spikes or be hit by rocks durring the horizontal section of the game. Consider one or more of the following:
- Make the mutations permanent reduce the overall number of orbs, but make the mutations permanent, give multiple types of mutations (maybe an upgrade system or randomized).
- Simply make the mutations last longer and keep the overall orb frequency the same.
- Add health when adding mutations.
- Reduce the damage taken further while mutated (this would work particularly well in a multiple mutations system).
- Add health regeneration as a mutation.
3. The randomized maps. Any type of game where you have to be thinking about what you will do ahead of time a randomized map system can become frustrating more than anything. There were several instances where simply the random events on the map made it very difficult if not impossible to avoid damage.
4. The kill 5 skeletons in one run (broken bones) medal did not work in game or out of game. I killed 7 in one run and nothing.
Again I think the game itself is interesting. It is a fun concept and for the greater part the game seems to work and feel pretty good. It could just use some finessing/tweaking to make it really good. Best of luck keep up the good work.
Thank you for spending time to make this review. Its been very helpful and although we have been planning on adding some of these features such as health pickups you have brought up allot of very interesting concepts that I'm sure we will be taking inspiration from.
Thanks again,

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) today announced it will confer one of its highest awards on pediatric oncologist Garrett M. Brodeur, M.D., of the Cancer Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Brodeur will receive the Pediatric Oncology Award and deliver the Pediatric Oncology Lecture on Friday, May 31 during the ASCO annual meeting in Chicago.
The Award and Lecture recognize "outstanding scientific work of major importance to the field of pediatric oncology" during the course of a career. Brodeur is an expert in neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumor of childhood.
A cancer of the peripheral nervous system that typically appears as a tumor in a child's abdomen or chest, neuroblastoma varies greatly in severity, ranging from forms that spontaneously disappear to high-risk subtypes that are difficult to cure. Because of this variability, researchers have sought ways to predict the course of disease in order to select the most appropriate treatment for each patient. The underlying assumption of this approach is that better understanding of the biology of this cancer will allow pediatric oncologists to avoid undertreating or overtreating a child.
Over his career, Brodeur has focused on identifying the genes, proteins and biological pathways that give rise to neuroblastoma and drive its clinical behavior. He also has built on this knowledge to develop more effective and less toxic treatments for children by targeting specific pathways.

| What file extension has the image backup? Hello all, I make use of the Windows 7 Backup and Restore programs. Automatically everyday a backup is scheduled. This backup is configured to contain all user files and a system image. Now I have tried to find the system image, but I don't know what file extension the image backup should have. In my backup folder, below, only two .VHD files are present, and a bunch of XML Documents. X:\WindowsImageBackup\XXXX\Backup 2009-11-04 160010 Can someone explain me in which files the backup and restore programs save the backups? Also I like to know where I should look for, to know for sure my backup is done successfully. Thanks a lot in advance! Best regards, zx81 |

| My understanding is that all those files (XML and VHD) are needed to complete the backup picture. However, strictly speaking it seems to me based on the size of the files that the image itself is housed inside the VHD files. With that stated, I would expect a corrupted backup if one of the XML files went missing. On my system there are no program associations for the VHD file and just the default XML editor for the XML files. The only Windows 7 delivered program able to access these backups is the Windows Restore utility. If you want the utmost confidence in your backup strategy there really is no other logical choice but to actually perform a restore of both the backed-up files and the entire system image. The easier of the two is to first test the user data backup. To do this simply locate a small subset of your user data files, for example a folder of your MS Word documents on your hard drive, and copy them to another location (in essence, you are manually backing them up in case the restore goes wrong). Then, launch the restore process from within Windows 7 and restore that folder from your backup dataset to its original location. After it completes validate the restore by exploring the folder to ensure all came back as expected. The next leap of faith will be to actually perform a restore of the system image using the Windows restore feature. Before you take this step, be sure your system image is the most current snapshot of your system so that you don't regress any changes you may have made since last image. Create the rescue disc (this is done inside the Backup and Restore utility), boot to it, and then see if the bootable rescue disc can find the system image stored on your backup medium. Once found, go ahead and start the restore process, making absolute sure that the restore process has mapped the backup image to the correct partitions/hard drives on your computer. I can tell you with confidence that the process does work well, for I did just this to give myself peace of mind for when the process is needed for real. And finally, for those who don't test the restore process, consider this: I once consulted for a sports apparel manufacturer who religiously backed up their large enterprise resource planning system's data, but never ever tested the restore. Predictably, the inevitable happened. They experienced catastrophic disk array failure that warranted a restore from backups once the hardware was replaced. Well, to the IT directors dismay the backup images would not mount and they could not restore. The IT director was unceremoniously fired within a month after that incident. |

| BeechV35Pilot, Thank you very much for your extensive explanation. Still one small question left... When using Backup and Restore, will it when executing always overwrite the older system image(s)? Again thanks! zx81 |

| From the backup help file: Keeping different versions of system images If you're saving your system images on an internal or external drive, or on CDs or DVDs, you can keep several versions of system images. On internal and external hard drives, older system images will be deleted when the drive runs out of space. To help conserve disk space, you can manually delete older system images. For more information, see What backup settings should I use to maximize my disk space? If you're saving your system images in a network location, you can only keep the most current system image for each computer. System images are saved in the format of drive\WindowsImageBackup\computer name\. If you have an existing system image for a computer and are creating a new one for the same computer, the new system image will overwrite the existing one. If you want to keep the existing system image, you can copy it to a different location before creating the new system image by following these steps:

| Peter, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. I did what you advised me to do. I did execute the System Image restore. First removed all partitions on both of my Windows 7 hdd's. So only left with two hdd's containing only unallocated space. Reboot to know for sure Windows 7 was gone, and it was gone, boot failure. Booting with repair disc, and restored the image. Removed disc, and restarted, and... YES, windows 7 was back, and as far as I can see everything seems to work correct, even hdd layout was the same, and Windows 7 is like it was yesterday. Very cool. ;-) I also tried file restore, and that works perfect too. Thank you for taking your time to teach me Have a nice day! zx81 |

Description: | The 1960s was a time of social and generational upheaval felt with particular intensity in the melting pot of New York City. A culture of corruption pervaded the New York Police Department, where payoffs, protection, and shakedowns of gambling rackets and drug dealers were common practice. The so-called blue code of silence protected the minority of crooked cops from the sanction of the majority. Into this maelstrom came a working class, Brooklyn-born, Italian cop with long hair, a beard, and a taste for opera and ballet. Frank Serpico was a man who couldn't be silenced -- or bought -- and he refused to go along with the system. He had sworn an oath to uphold the law, even if the perpetrators happened to be other cops. For this unwavering commitment to justice, Serpico nearly paid with his life. |

A classic "David-vs-Goliath" story of an honest Cop fighting one of the most corrupt groups in the country at the time, unfortunately for him the "Bad Guys" were all Cops working for the NYPD. The Serpico saga resulted in the Knapp Commission hearings and the arrests of numerous corrupt officers. It is a good read and shows just how entrenched graft and corruption had become in the Law Enforecement community at that time.

A must read for all cops. This is not a "Text Book" in terms of Research and don't expect to find a "Works Cited" page, but it is a history or biography of sorts that all cops should be aware of. It shows how easily one can fall into the pit of corruption.

Blue Raiders to begin road swing in Birmingham
MT to face UAB for first time in school history
September 8, 2010 · Athletic CommunicationsJunior Rebecca Cushing recorded her first shutout of the season last Friday at Alabama A&M. (Bradley Lambert)
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The first of a four-match road trip is next up for the Middle Tennessee soccer team as it travels to Birmingham, Ala., Thursday to face the UAB Blazers at 6 p.m. at West Campus Field. The game will serve as the first meeting in the series between the two regional foes.
"UAB has historically done well in Conference USA," said head coach Aston Rhoden. "This game is on our schedule because they are a very strong opponent, one which will help challenge us and help us prepare for conference play. There is no game on our schedule that is an easy game."
The Blue Raiders enter the game with a 2-3 record, having split their two matches last weekend. Middle Tennessee opened the set with a 4-0 road win at Alabama A&M after senior All-Sun Belt honoree Vanessa Mueggler netted a pair of goals, including one just 45 seconds into the contest. The shutout was the first of the season for junior netminder Rebecca Cushing.
The weekend then concluded with a 2-1 home loss to Evansville. Junior Shan Jones, the team's leading scorer each of the last two seasons, tallied her first goal of the campaign to the cut the deficit in half late in regulation. Mueggler and Jones combined for 15 of the Blue Raiders' 26 shots against the Purple Aces.
UAB owns a 3-3 record entering Thursday's matchup. The Blazers, under the direction of 15th-year head coach Paul Harbin, are led by Laura McCalla's five goals through the opening six tilts, accounting for one-half of the team total. UAB's three-game winning streak was snapped Sunday against cross-town rival Samford.
Middle Tennessee will continue its four-game road swing at 1 p.m. Sunday in Tuscaloosa, Ala., against Alabama before heading to North Carolina for the Duke Nike Classic next weekend.
