Shh. Do NOT look at that poor woman with bruises who is limping. Do NOT ask her what happened.
Keep it in the closet where no one will help, even though we know her partner is using her for a punching bag. Silent fear rules this woman's life — when will he become enraged for no apparent reason and hit me again?
This is the face of domestic violence and how it occurs. Some 20 years ago the Violence Against Women Act was passed at the federal level. Now thankfully there is more awareness and more than one way to help the unfortunate victims of domestic abuse which include not only women, but men and children.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 74 percent of us personally know of someone close to us — a neighbor, a friend, a co-worker or a family member — who has been a victim of domestic abuse.
Have you ever gotten a knock on the door in the wee hours of the morning with a panicky woman with two young children in their pajamas and shoeless asking for refuge to escape a violent partner? It happens in small, rural areas and in large city suburban neighborhoods. Most often the victim asks that law enforcement or a safe house not be contacted, and then the pattern repeats itself over and over.
One in four women and one in seven men will suffer physical violence from a partner in their lifetime. An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.
Each and every day three women lose their lives in this country as a result of domestic violence.
Here is an alarming statistic — approximately one in five female high school students reports being physically or sexually abused by a dating partner.
Boys who witness domestic violence as a child are twice as likely to abuse their partners and children when they become adults. Thirty to 60 percent of perpetrators of intimate-partner violence also abuse children in the household. Witnessing violence between one's parents is the strongest risk factor of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.
The cost of domestic violence exceeds $5.8 billion each year, of which $4.1 billion is for direct medical and health services.
In Colorado there were 14,123 domestic violence criminal cases filed in the Colorado county courts in 2006. Almost half of all murders in Colorado are committed by an intimate partner. The vast majority of these victims are female.
There are campaigns in many states this month which include the purple purse campaign where purple purses are handed out to legislators and others to build awareness. There are candlelight vigils, walks and runs dedicated to building awareness. One college campus had a campaign of T-shirts which were hung on a clothes line where students were encouraged to express their stories about being a victim or assert their need for respect and non-violence in loving relationships.
The only thing that stops the intimidation, stalking and hitting is for people close to the victims to find a way to stand by them and encourage them to escape the abusive pattern.
In Delta County one resource is Tri-County Resource Center, 874-4941. The 24-hour crisis line can be reached at 874-4941.
The victim assistance program is a unit in the Delta County Sheriff's Office. Assistance is available for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence at 874-2007.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-SAFE /800-799-7233 and 800-787-3224 (TTY) provides crisis intervention and referrals to local services and shelters for victims of partner or spousal abuse. English and Spanish speaking advocates are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The hotline is staffed by trained volunteers who are ready to connect people with emergency help in their own communities, including emergency services and shelters.
The staff can also provide information and referrals for a variety of non-emergency services, including counseling for adults and children and assistance in reporting abuse. They have an extensive database of domestic violence treatment providers in all U.S. states and territories. Many staff members speak languages besides English, and they have 24-hour access to translators for approximately 150 languages. This is a great resource for anyone — man, woman or child — who is experiencing or has experienced domestic violence or abuse, or who suspects that someone they know is being abused.

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH -- Two months ago, an early two-run deficit would have had the Pittsburgh Pirates scrambling.
Now, it's just a blip. And for the moment, so is nearly two decades of losing.Michael McKenry and Pedro Alvarez drove in two runs apiece and the Pirates looked pretty comfortable during their first day in first place, beating the Houston Astros 6-4 on Wednesday.Pittsburgh has won seven of eight to improve to 45-36 at the season's midway point, looking very much like a team that could stick around through the summer."This stretch that we've had is awesome but I think this is very indicative of this ballclub," second baseman Neil Walker said. "We knew the bats were going to start coming around, and when we did we knew we were going to score a lot of runs."Kevin Correia (5-6) will happily take the help. The 31-year-old pitched well early in the season but struggled to win as the offense limped out of the gate. Correia wasn't terribly sharp at muggy PNC Park but overcame a shaky start to give up three runs on six hits in six innings, walking two and striking out one to win at home against a National League team for the first time since joining the Pirates before the 2011 season.The Astros touched Correia for two runs in the second, but the hole lasted all of 15 minutes before Pittsburgh -- which rallied from a four-run deficit to win on Tuesday -- roared back to take the lead."Normally the first month of the season, you give two runs early and you know it's going to be tight," Correia said. "Now I just have complete confidence that that's not a lead that's going to hold against us now."Joel Hanrahan pitched the ninth for his 21st save. Garrett Jones added two hits for Pittsburgh, which has its best record through 81 games since Barry Bonds was swinging for the fences at Three Rivers Stadium 20 years ago."You get here for a reason, it just doesn't happen," manager Clint Hurdle said. "No one hits you with a wand and you end up in this spot. It hasn't been all hi-fives and walk-offs and giggles. There was some gnashing of teeth."Not on Independence Day.The Astros limped to their seventh straight loss, and major changes are in the offing. Slugger Carlos Lee was removed from the game in the seventh inning and his locker was cleared out afterward. Manager Brad Mills called it a "non baseball-related" decision then added "I don't want to go any farther than that," but ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports that Lee has been traded to the Marlins.Lee isn't the only Astros player on the move. Though he has been one of the few bright spots of late, starter Dallas Keuchel (1-1) will be shipped to Triple-A Oklahoma City so the team can bring up a reliever to help out a weary bullpen.Mills stressed the decision has nothing to do with performance. Keuchel gave up four runs in 5 2/3 innings, or one more run than he surrendered in his previous three starts combined."I knew if I got the first three guys out consistently I would have a good shot and I made some bad pitches to the bottom of the order and they made me pay," Keuchel said after his ERA rose from 1.35 to 2.45.J.D. Martinez hit his 10th homer for Houston, while Scott Moore and Brian Bogusevic each had two hits, though it couldn't stop Houston from continuing its slide. The Astros are just 10-26 since moving within a game of .500 on May 25.Mills, clearly frustrated, removed center fielder Jordan Schafer from the game in the second inning after a pair of fundamental mistakes. His off-line throw allowed the plodding Jones to turn a single into a double. Schafer later threw to the wrong base on sacrifice fly by McKenry, allowing two runners to move up and help the Pirates turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead."I just felt that (Schafer's) play and behavior didn't match what we needed to get done," Mills said.Pittsburgh pushed it to 4-2 on McKenry's RBI-double in the fourth and the Pirates -- who won on Drew Sutton's walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth on Tuesday -- made sure no such heroics were required.Andrew McCutchen went 1 for 3 to keep his NL-leading batting average at .360 while Alvarez continued to show signs that he's developing into the elite slugger the franchise envisioned when it selected him with the fourth pick in the 2008 draft. Alvarez had a two-run pinch-hit single during the comeback victory on Tuesday and his two-run single in the seventh gave the Pirates a cushion after the Astros pulled within 4-3."You're seeing a guy finding his rhythm and his confidence," Hurdle said of Alvarez. "To do that on a breaking ball from a left-hander, it was a very pretty swing."Game notes
The series concludes on Thursday as Pittsburgh's Jeff Karstens (1-2, 5.25 ERA) faces Houston's Bud Norris (5-5, 4.90) ... The Astros haven't won on July 4 since beating the Cubs in 2006 ... Pittsburgh reliever Jason Grilli tossed a scoreless eighth inning while making his 300th major league appearance.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Hope Center volunteers come from all walks of life, and are all so generous with their unique talents. Caitlin Warnken is a nurse who leads a drumming circle with our Mental Health/DDP clients. We had the pleasure of sitting in - the clients had a great time, and Caitlin tells us that she enjoys it just as much as they do: "I feel like I get more out of it than they do. It's great to see them come out of their shells, and watch that wonderful thing where they all slide into each other's rhythm, listening to and bonding with each other. It promotes the idea that we're all the same and we all have value." (3 photos)

Our Mental Health Program staff are dedicated professionals who are not only extremely qualified, but also incredibly passionate about helping those with severe mental health issues. Frank Sibert is our Mental Health Program Director - read what he loves about his work. "Going into the field of Social Work, I knew that I wanted to work with those that had mental illness and substance abuse issues. Working in the Hope Center Mental Health Program, which also includes the Dual Diagnosis Program, provides me with the opportunity to work with these populations on a daily basis.

I always buy these hooks whenever i need some. Gamakatsu are the best, but i dont wanna spend that kind of money for hooks. But these work just fine. Never had the hook bend or break, so i shall continue to buy them

Going to return them to my local Bass Pro when I get a chance. Will pick up some Owner hooks

Rated 5 out of 5 by RAVEN87 Way better hooksets
I have been using these hooks with the Yum 5" Houdini Shad in the 4/0 size and my hooksets have improved by about 9 out of 10 strikes. The lightweight design lets this lure (Houdini Shad) stay on the surface when I want it there and I believe the action improved as well, i'm not sure if a change in hook design could do that, but it seems to "twitch" better. Very sharp and an excellent hook! I have been using Eagle Claw hooks exclusively for about 25 years and in my opinion they cant be beat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AlaBass35 Great Hook
I've used these hooks for as long as I can remember fishing. I always get a good hook in the fish, and hardly ever loose a fish while using them. Extremely sharp and the light wire is great when using lighter line. I wish bass pro carried these in 1/0. On the down side the points usually bend when you get hung up in wood but they are so cheap you can just get a new hook and not have to worry about sharpening them.

aegis -New_Project_Alias
command is used to
create a projects alias, so that branches of projects may be referred
by a shorter or more specific name.
The project name must be given on the command line; the default project is not sufficient. The project named may be a top-level project, or it may be a branch (to any depth of branch).
The new alias name must also be given on the command line, and it must be the second name. Project aliases have fewer limits than project names: they must not need shell quoting, that's all.
Aliases may be used in may ways. The most common is to give a particular release a code name. You would do this by saying aenpa example.4.2 sydney This would make "sydney" an alias for the "example.4.2" branch.
Another use for aliases is to have a fixed alias for your active branch, so that your developer team does not need to change their default project, even though the branch number moves on for each release. You could say aenpa example.4.2 example.cur This would make "example.cur" an alias for the "example.4.2" branch. When this was finished, and 4.3 started, a project administrator could say aerpa example.cur aenpa example.4.3 example.cur Now "example.cur" is an alias for the "example.4.3" branch, but the developers need only reference "example.cur" to always work on the right branch.
The following options are understood:
This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aegis program.
See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.
All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.
All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.
For example:
the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are
all interpreted to mean the -Project
The argument "-prj" will not be understood,
because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.
Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line, after the function selectors.
The GNU long option names are understood.
Since all option names for
are long,
this means ignoring the extra leading '-'.
The "--
=value" convention is also understood.
It is an error if the old project does not exist. It is an error if the current user is not a project administrator. It is an error if the new alias name look like a branch name. It is an error if the new alias contains unprintable characters.
The aegis command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The aegis command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.
See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect
this command.

HUD database provides household info to public, researchers
Wednesday - 3/7/2012, 5:52pm EST
Raphael Bostic, assistant secretary for policy development and research, HUD
While available to the general public, HUD aims for the database to be a resource for researchers to study statistical relationships between demographic and geographic information.
The database will host information about households receiving certain forms of HUD assistance. The information ranges from family size, income and rent, to the number of bedrooms in a particular house.
Raphael Bostic
The database will also list geographic location and the area's poverty rate based upon census data. None of the information will contain data that would be personally identifiable.
"This public database helps to provide a much clearer picture of how our programs work," said Raphael Bostic, HUD's assistant secretary for policy development and research, in a release. "Better information makes for better public policy. We're offering the research community and, by extension, the American public, a more transparent window into our programs and the people we serve."
Bostic joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the new database and the agency's open gov efforts.

Planetary Herbals Calm Child™ -- 8 fl oz
great product
Sometimes toddlers and young children need a little help bringing it down a notch. This product seems to help in a safe and tasty way! I started with one small bottle and now get the large size and refill my small dropper bottle. If your child is really struggling I also recommend peter gillham's natural calm for kids multi. vita cost has the best price on both. I use both and have noticed a huge difference in my son, who we now suspect has gluten issues. Both poor diet or poor vitamin/mineral absorption can be at issue but I think many kids (adults too) lack magnesium, which both of these products contain. My son sleeps better and is altogether a calmer individual with the help of these products!
April 12, 2013
I can't tell how well this works because my kids dislike the taste. I can't get them to take it as often as bottle recommends.

When I heard the big Ventures at CES 2013, I was so impressed with their beauty of sound that I lingered far longer than my schedule allowed. John Atkinson was similarly impressed at the 2013 New York Show But here, paired with the same Phasure NOS1 DAC, XX HighEnd software, and similar if not identical electronics and cables, the bright sound led me to truncate my visit.
In all fairness, this was far from the only room at T.H.E. Show whose sound was bright.

I know there has been a lot of debate about the Squier line really stepping up their quality with the last few models produced, but this new Vintage Modified Squier Jazzmaster is seriously one of the nicest guitars I have played.
I briefly had a Squier J Mascis MIC Jazzmaster which I only sold to pay the bills. I will go out on a limb and say that this guitar out of the box is nicer than the J Mascis was.
The construction of this guitar is spot on. I took it out of the box and was really taken back by how well crafted the guitar is. It is easily as well built as my MIM Jaguar, if not a little bit better. No rough frets, no paint blemishes that I noticed, nice smooth neck. Tore off the sticky plastic cover on the pickguard and immediately swapped the stock strings for 10's, just because I'm used to thicker strings. I did notice that the first three frets had a little bit of rust on them, but that's nothing a bit of 0000 steel wool can't fix. The rest of the guitar is solid. It doesn't feel like a toy. It's not quite as heavy as my Jaguar, but still has some weight to it which is really nice. I adjusted the string height just a tad, because it looked like the strings would and could have flopped pretty easily at the height it came to me in the box.
As far as quality of parts, everything is solid. The only thing I ended up replacing was the bridge with a CIJ Mustang Bridge, just because the stock Jazzmaster bridge produced a lot of buzzing with the strings. I might eventually look into a new trem bar, but it's not too high up on my list. It doesn't stay in very well and feels a little cheap. I was VERY surprised with how well the guitar stays in tune with the non-locking tuners. I have this weird idea in my head that if tuners don't lock, the strings will automatically slip and go out of tune way more quickly than locking tuners.
The pickups themselves are really articulate and clear. A little on the bright side, but I expected that since they were single coils and not humbuckers. After not having a guitar with single coils for some time, it was a nice and refreshing jangle. The neck pickup has a nice girth and warmness to it, and plays equally as well as the bridge with dirt.
After I replaced the bridge with a Mustang Bridge, I have zero complaints. The fake tortoise on the pickguard is a little cheesy, but nothing I can't live with and the guitar looks so good I really don't want to bother messing with it.
Overall, supreme playability. Super comfortable to play, and I honestly haven't put this guitar down since it came in the mail a week or two ago.

OK. I admit it. I was very excited to have my Squier VM Jazmmaster on order and couldn't wait to get it. I have owned a Squier J. Mascis Jazzmaster and it was first class all the way.
When this guitar showed up, I was ready for a solid, well built instrument that would need a little tweaking, but be ready to play in short order. Instead, this guitar totally missed the quality and reliability I have come to expect in Squier guitars. The pickup buzz was totally loud and annoying, both neck and bridge pickups. The strings were way off the neck and uneven across the fretboard. The sound was brittle, harsh and really hurt my ears. I was surprised when I selected the Rhythym mode that the neck pickup was still very bright and the tone rolled off to an instant muddy sound when I tried the roller tone adjuster wheel. The finish was shockingly bad with pits and smears in the finish, especially on the back. The guitar had two noticeable scratches on the lower horn and on the pickguard, even through the protective plastic peel coat. The neck felt good, a little chunky but I could use it.
Again, I have owned several Squiers and know what to expect. I wasn't looking for Fender American or even MIM quality, but this guitar truly was an absolute shame. Also,the body was made up of 6, yes "6" pieces of laminated wood! Having ordered the 3 tone sunburst, it was painfully obvious and each plank showed up, especially one annoying knot hole. If you order one of these you may want to consider a solid color.
OK. I've given this guitar a harsh review and it deserved it, but I re-ordered another one and am betting on the quality I have become accustomed to from Squier. I am hoping this was just an odd ball.
Come on Squier. Let's see a better quality guitar next time, OK?

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
Amazing just how good this inexpensive, Indonesian Jazzmaster really is. I have my original '63 that is the real deal. You can't compare anything with that not even Custom Shop Jazzmaster. The Vintage Modified Jazzmaster is very cool and feels just right. I had absolutely no issues that are negative with this guitar. Put a set of 10.5 or 11's on and your ready to go. In addition, I had very little set-up work to do. The neck was straight, fret end average--could use a minor end dressing, hardware seems okay, tuners hold pitch and as with any jazzmaster, you'll get some rocking on the bridge. I couldn't be happier for my investment. Time will tell how it holds up. A seemingly very good and well made Jazzmaster.

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
Read all the reviews before buying this guitar and took a chance. With the exception of having to replace the bridge, this guitar is surprisingly well built. I chose the sunburst finish and was amazed by the gloss finish and beautiful woodgrain. This guitar is a barrel of fun if you're into old surf and blues, the circuitry gives you a nice selection of tone. Even putting some fuzz or overdrive on gives it a great SG-like tone.

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
OK so a lot of people are complaining about the buzzing bridge and other things about this guitar so I'm gonna put some of these issues to bed. For the bridge you people who use nine and ten guage string just need to lock tight the saddle screws or buy a mustang or mastery bridge. If you use 11 or twelve guage strings which was what this guitar was designed to have ( jazz is in the name for Pete sake) you'll be fine. Everything else on this instrument is perfevt . of all the jazzmasters in the store from squier to fender this was the only one that was holding its factory setup. The neck is great I shimmed it a bit to improve the action. Body was flawless. Even though the trem isnt the locking kind it stays in tune well. The jazzmaster is not an off the shelf guitar anybody who does their research knows that but with very minor work it can be perfect . squier is making great instruments and a friend of mine with a 65 RI likes mine better so there ya go

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I had my eye on a JM for a long time. A lot of my favorite guitarists use one. Actually it was a toss-up between a VM JM and a VM Jag. I went with the JM for its longer scale as I have big hands. What a great guitar. It came from MF in quick order and at a killer price. Great looking with nice build quality too. I got the Sonic Blue. I had read lots of things online (here as well) about the JM/Jag bridge being a problem and I agree totally. This has been a constant source of anxiety while playing as I would wonder if I'd knocked a string out of my chosen groove in a saddle. I almost immediately began looking for a Mustang bridge to replace the idiotic original bridge. I found one at Warmoth Guitars that has height adjustment screws on each saddle which makes fine adjustments easy. Anyway, the guitar plays great now. Nice variety of tones possible with all the great circuitry. No buzzing at all now after raising the bridge up somewhat and doing some saddle adjustments. Stays in tune well even with mild use of the trem. Very cool guitar for the money. I would recommend.

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I never would have considered a Squier. I had a Squier Bullet briefly (I traded it in within weeks) when I was a kid and I've hated them since. I've always wanted a Jazzmaster. No way I'd pay what they are going for. Read a lot of good reviews and figured what the hell. I'm too old and too broke to be a guitar snob. Ordered a sonic blue one. Wow. The fit and finish are fantastic. Took of the 9s. Put on some 10's and adjusted the bridge. Truss rod didn't need any tweaking. Raised and lowered a few saddles and set the intonation. (I pushed the bridge as far back as I could before doing this.) I'm really impressed. Playing it through a Hot Rod Deville. Sweet cleans sounds. Great neck. Great pickups. This is a really good deal. The Chinese man. They're getting really good at this.

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I started by chasing a jaguarillo i found at a guitar center, then saw this online, and thought, what the hell, its a lot cheaper and i hear squier has been getting better. So i called up a local shop and had one of these ordered in, the guy at the shop blew me off and got the sunburst instead of the red, which put me off, for about half a second. Once this thing was plugged in i had no complaints. The action was perfect, the pickups were amazing, all the electrics were solid and i couldnt get it out of tune no matter how hard i played. Ive sat and played american ones, elvis costello signature models, and hoenstly the neck on this was better. What the hell, when did squire figure it out, and why hasnt fender upped its game. If youre curious, put down the 300 and get one while you can! I have a rack of great instruments at home, and this is always my go to.

Never played a Jazzmaster till I bought this guitar..so I can't compare to a real Fender Jazzmaster .... looks and plays great ...it has the sound I have been looking for years ...I love playing instrumental songs by The Ventures anyway ...this guitar nails that sound and tone note for note 100 percnet ...I had stop playing to see which guitar was mine playing along to CD's ..I can copy the lead guitar parts pretty well ...never had that happen before ...sounds exactly like the old early 60's Ventures records ....it has a nice growl I love when you dig down into the notes on bends with the volume wide open ...especially at the 7th fret A string...lot's of head room on tone as well ...I never played a guitar with this much output on the pickups ......I have a lot of guitars that will soon be for sale ...this is my new favorite guitar now...just bought another one for a back up ...same color (3 Tone Sunburst)...for this price you can't go wrong...I can't put this guitar down ...I don't even play my other guitars anymore ....I played my Fender Jaguars for years so it took me a while to get use to the longer scale and neck etc on the jazzmaster...but to me this Squire Jazzmaster is a far better guitar ...and I can't believe I'm saying that I liked the Jaguar so much up to now ...I think this is the only guitar I will need from here out playing my surf and instrumental rock...saw where a lot of people on here mentioned fret buzz....all that is your strings are set too low above the frets at the 12 fret and higher ...just adjust the floating bridge posts up on each side with the small allen wrench (hole on each side of bridge) make sure it's level too...that lick's the problem and makes notes sound better on those same frets above the 12th fret...other wise they will sound muted or dule or create fret buzz...

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I've wanted a Jazzmaster almost since I started playing guitar, but I've been living on a budget for years where I didn't really allow myself enough money to buy my own. This gem, however, is the answer to my prayers.
The pickups are amazing and up to the same quality as the Fenders, at least to my ears. I'm definitely not a large guy (5'9) but the larger scale is one of the aspects that I love about this guitar, and the main reason I chose this over the Jaguar. The main problem that everyone has would have to be the buzz in the bridge, but I just brought it into my local shop for a quick setup and everything's fine now. I'd also recommend, as other reviewers have, taking off the 9's that come with it and replacing it with a heavier gauge, such as 11's. They help bring out the true beastly nature of this instrument.
Whether clean or super-distorted, this piece of gear does much more than hold its own. I definitely recommend it to any other fellow jammer on a budget.

Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I ordered a sonic blue JM, showed up with the bridge pickup not working, was just a piece of solder on the switch shorting it.. easy fix. I had intended to go through the entire guitar and reset it up anyway, and did shielding..
After re setting up with .11's its much nicer.. get rid of those 9's ASAP...
Best Uses
Comments about Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar:
I give 5 stars for what you get for the money. Out of the box I tuned it up and it was playable (did a little "Walk Don't Run" first thing!) but with any guitar it does need a setup. Jazzmasters are a different breed so if you don't understand how everything should work in harmony there is plenty of info on the Web. I will touch on a few points though. I worked as a guitar tech so can evaluate a guitar very quickly (most of the time!). The neck is done very well, I just did a setup on a 1960 Tele and the neck on this is very similar, profile, frets, slab rosewood board, feels very vintage. Neck adjusts at the headstock, nice mod as it's a pain to take the neck off to adjust relief. Relief on this example was pretty close. Frets are done nicely. Body is finished well, it's a sunburst so the wood is visible. There are a few small knots in the wood but to me gives it character. Weight and balance is really nice, mine is a comfy 7 1/2 lbs. The body is rather large, I'm 6'4" so fits me well, little bit more area than a Strat. Electronics all function as they should. The only tweak I may do is add a treble bleed (look it up). When you first turn the volume down it mainly rolls off the highs from 9-10 then volume after that. Some people may like that effect. NOW...as others have mentioned....the tremolo on these are very unique, meant only to give a bit of vibrato so you dive bombers are out of luck. These take a little work to get set up correctly. You need a bit of "break angle" over the bridge. On mine I shimmed the neck a bit to retain the needed break angle and to get the action down where I wanted it. Easy to do, you will have to remove the neck and place a shim in the pocket where the end of the neck sits. I use a guitar pick, that works well since picks come in wide variety of thicknesses to achieve the angle of tilt you desire. After it is close just raise or lower the bridge to fine tune using the included allen wrench, the two holes on either side of the bridge is where this is done. The bridge is Supposed to wobble, some folks think this is a defect but it move with tremolo use and helps with tuning stability. The nut may need a bit of adjustment, especially if you go to a higher string gauge. You might need a tech for this as cutting a nut is an art. The pickups aren't bad at all, tuners work fine, I love those split shaft tuners, they look cool and work almost as well as any locking tuner. I've babbled enough, like I mentioned do a little research on these guitars, they are finicky but when set up right are a pleasure. Fender did a good job at offering a guitar at this price with a nice vintage vibe and enough modern features to actually make an improvement on an old design. Cheers!

Night vision technology can dramatically increase the ability to see in situations that are too dark for the naked eye. Night vision devices gather existing moonlight, starlight, or infrared light and use an electrical and chemical process to transform photons (the particles that carry wavelengths of light) into electrons (the particles that carry electrical charge).
The electrons pass through a light intensifier tube and are projected on a phosphorous screen. Since the electrons carry no color information, night vision devices have monochromatic screens. Since the human eye is most sensitive to green light, green is the most often used screen color. Using night vision technology, the light from a dim star in a situation that we may perceive as "pitch black" to the naked eyecould be enough to illuminate an entire field.
First used in World War II and extremely valuable to troops in the Vietnam War, night vision technology has continued to evolve over the past 70 years. Because of this, devices are rated as Generation 1, 2, 3, and sometimes 4. GEN 1 devices are the most popular and are excellent for personal outdoor useobserving nocturnal wildlife, boating, and back country hiking, for example and will produce light amplification of around 1,000x the available ambient light. Costs increase dramatically for later generation technology, which is most often used for law enforcement and military applications.
GEN 1 devices may produce a faint high-pitched noise when turned on, and will glow green for a few moments when turned off.

Comments about National Geographic Night Vision Binocular - 5x Magnification:
I mainly use this product to look at wildlife and check out the open fields and trees but I do like to sometimes play with this inside the house in a pitch black atmosphere to see how good the IR works which by the way works very well. I am extremely impressed with the quality of the intensifer tubes. The image that they produce in these binoculars is AMAZINGLY clear, especially for generation 1 tubes. I had an older pair of generation 1 night vision binocualars a few years ago that did not even give near the image quality that these do. Before buying these, I called Night Owl to ask them about these binoculars as compared to their regular model 5X night vision binoculars and they said that the National Geographic model has higher quality intensifier tubes therefore producing a clearer image. I cannot stress just how CLEAR the image is in these. I would very highly recommend these binoculars to anyone interested in night vision.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Two C-130 Hercules flight crews left from Bagram, Afghanistan on Oct. 29 and air dropped an estimated 50,000 pounds of humanitarian supplies to victims of the Oct. 8 earthquake in Pakistan.
Fourteen container delivery system bundles filled with food, water, shelter and supplies descended on people below in need of the items made available.
"As far as the C-130 goes, you not only have a wartime mission, you have a peacetime mission, and that is was we did today," said Air Force Staff Sgt. Mario Mendizabal (left in photo), a loadmaster with the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron.
The Airmen flew into Afghanistan , loaded the aircraft and set out on their peacetime mission to deliver relief aid. They credit their mission success to the preparation, planning and coordination of many other individuals.
"We definitely couldn't have done it without all the support," said Air Force Capt. Nate Dillon, a pilot for 774th EAS. "It all worked out with efficient planning."
From planning the route to reviewing training manuals, the crew worked hard to make sure the relief aid would reach its intended target.
"The only thing that was going through my mind was sticking with the checklist because it covers everything; and that"s what I did; it covered it step by step," Mendizabal said.
Mendizabal and his fellow loadmaster, Air Force Staff Sgt. Ryan Atkinson (right in photo), said the training the two received was a point of reference they had to build upon to perform the mission. "We've both done CDS bundles for training at home with one or two but never 14 all at a time," Mendizabal said. "It's kind of something new for us."
Most of the aircrew had never taken part in a humanitarian relief mission so the experience for them meant something special, they said. "It's a very rewarding experience," Dillon said, who flew the aircraft for the Oct. 29 mission. "I think I can speak for all of us by saying that."
The experience was good for the crew. "It's something different and breaks up the monotony of what you"re used to doing," he said.
However, the change of mission did present its challenges, Dillon said.
Releasing the cargo on an unfamiliar drop zone is a difficult thing to accomplish, he said, but just like his loadmasters, their training to their deployment to Operation Enduring Freedom proved to be a success for the Airmen.
"We train for this at home in Alaska , and you see the same drop zone," Dillon said. "When you go into an unfa
miliar route, the terrain is a lot more significant; you have to time everything just right."
The front crew was cool, calm and collected for doing an airdrop on a drop zone they never saw and probably never will see again, Mendizabal said.
Mendizabal said the confidence they gain from the success of their mission will help them face future missions and that this was just part of their job.
"If it's hurricane relief, earthquake relief or tsunami relief, whatever you got for us, we can handle it," he said.

Food and Agribusiness Institute brings "Hunger Games" to SCUPosted on Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012Amid all the buzz surrounding The Hunger Games franchise, the Food and Agribusiness Institute (FAI) brought its own version of the Hunger Games to Santa Clara University last spring. On May 30, FAI led a 12-hour fast from 5:30 am to 5:30 pm in the hopes of inspiring Santa Clara students, faculty, and staff to think more critically and engage in discussions about the issues of hunger and malnutrition. The end of the fast was followed by a banquet in the Mission Gardens where the participants were given the opportunity to share a meal together and discuss their experiences from that day as well as resources for future action. Seventy-five people participated in the fast, and each received a t-shirt to commemorate the event. Proceeds from the event went to Second Harvest Food Bank, a longtime partner of FAI. For the event, FAI also collaborated with Santa Clara's community garden, The Forge. After the success of this year's Hunger Games, FAI is hoping to expand the event into a week-long series that would include a variety of speakers dedicated to local, national, and global hunger issues, as well as a service day at the Forge before the second annual 12-hour fast. The service day at the Forge would include harvesting and donating fresh vegetables to Loaves and Fishes, a food kitchen in San Jose. FAI, along with Second Harvest Food Bank, is currently preparing to host the 5th annual Hunger Issues Forum on September 28. The Hunger Issues Forum is a one-day event for current (and aspiring) Hunger-Free Community Organizers. It will address food access, healthy eating, and highlight trends suhch as hunger among families, children, and seniors. The forum was traditionally a summer event, but FAI moved the event to the academic year to encourage more SCU students to get involved. The forum will be part of the lead-up to the second annual Hunger Games that will, again, take place in the spring. The Food and Agribusiness Institute is a part of the Leavey School of Business, working to engage MBA students as well as other Santa Clara students in food, hunger, and agricultural issues through research and community outreach efforts. Visit the Food and Agribusiness Institute for more information. By Amelia Evans, '13, Sustainability Intern -- Residence Life.

The Rochester Rattlers entered the 2012 MLL Draft with a pressing need at close defense and were also looking for a lot of help in midfield. After the first seventeen picks in the 2012 MLL Draft they had taken significant steps in filling those needs. The Rattlers selected Mike Manley (D) with the third overall pick in the draft. Then they selected Cornell'sRoy Land (M) and Syracuse University's Kevin Drew (M) in the second round and Maryland's attackman Joe Cummings in the third round. Cummings is expected to play in midfield in Major League Lacrosse.
"Mike Manley is a player who has been on our radar for quite some time." Rochester Rattlers Coach Tim Soudan said. "He's a lock down defenseman who can walk in and help us right away. I love his character and what he brings to the table both on and off the field."
After trading middie Jovan Miller to the Charlotte Hounds last night, the Rochester Rattlers had three of the first thirteen picks in the 2012 MLL Draft and five of the first twenty-five picks.
"We knew we had needs in defense and midfield, so we put ourselves in the best possible position we could to improve." Rattlers owner and general manager Rob Clark said.
In the middle of the draft the Rattlers addressed their need at FOGO by selecting FO Bobby Dattilo from Hobart They traded away their 2011 specialist Anthony Kelly to the Ohio Machine in the off-season. In the fifth round the Rattlers picked one of Inside Lacrosse's "Diamonds in the Rough" when they selected LSM Tim Henderson from Army. Henderson could be the best athlete in the draft at 6'3", 210 pounds.
The Rattlers finished up the 2012 MLL College Draft by working on their depth in attack and defense by selecting Hartford's Carter Bender (A) in the sixth round, North Carolina's Charlie McCormas (D) in the seventh round, and North Carolina's Thomas Wood (A) in the eighth round.
"We got some really high value guys who were high on our list late in the game tonight." Rattlers coach Tim Soudan said. "We're really happy. We didn't think we'd be able to get some of these guys where we did. We're stronger defensively, we're much stronger offensively, and we've got some diversity in midfield now."
Round 1 – Pick 3: Mike Manley (D), Duke University
The Rochester Rattlers began their 2012 MLL College Draft by immediately addressing a need and drafting D Mike Manley. Manley is a native of Rochester, New York (Penn Yan Academy) and has been a standout defenseman with the Duke University Blue Devils for three seasons. Manley was the top rated defenseman in the 2012 MLL Draft.
Manley was named the ACC Rookie of the Year after his first year with the Blue Devils. As a freshman Manley scooped twenty-three ground balls and helped a defense that surrendered only 8.30 goals per game – the best mark in the ACC and the eighth best mark in the country.
As a junior Manley was named a USILA Third Team All-American. He started nineteen games and helped lead a defense that allowed only 8.98 goals per game. He finished the season with forty-four ground balls and caused seventeen turnovers. Manley caused three turnovers in the NCAA Tournament against both Johns Hopkins and North Carolina. He was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team.
The 6'1", 204 pound Manley missed the 2011 NCAA Lacrosse season with Duke due to injury, but he was back on the field helping warm-up the goalie in the 2011 NCAA Tournament. He should be fully recovered for the 2012 NCAA season and the 2012 MLL season this year.
Manley is the shutdown defenseman that the Rattlers needed to pick up in the 2012 Draft.
Round 2 – Pick 3 (11th overall): Roy Lang (M), Cornell
Roy Lang in a great two-way midfielder who fills another one of the Rattlers needs. Last season he had thirty-six points and scooped thirty-eight ground balls on his way to First Team All-Ivy and First Team All-America honors. He scored twenty-seven goals and added three assists last season. Four of his goals were game winners.
The 6'3" 205 pound midfielder will play defense, get into the transition, create chances, and score right away in Major League Lacrosse. He might struggle early on in six versus six sets, but he will bring his great intangibles with him to the Rattlers midfield.
Round 2 – Pick 5 (13th overall): Kevin Drew (M), Syracuse University
In his first three years on campus Kevin Drew played as a short stick defensive midfielder and helped anchor one of the nation's stingiest defenses. He was the top ranked short stick in the 2012 MLL Draft.
In 2011 Drew earned Second Team All-Big East honors after playing all seventeen games in midfield. He helped anchor a defense that gave up 6.94 goals per game which was third best in the nation. He scooped thirty-three ground balls and caused eleven turnovers – the only short stick player to cause double-digit turnovers for the Orange. Drew also chipped in three goals and one assist.
As a sophomore Drew played defensive middie on a team that led the nation with 7.4 goals allowed per game.
As a freshman he played on an Orange defense that allowed 7.39 goals per game which was fourth in the nation. Drew has scored ten goals and scooped fifty-three ground balls from his defensive midfield position.
Kevin Drew is a lock down defensive middie who has been essential to the Orange defense. From the day he walks into Major League Lacrosse he will be one of the fastest players in the league. He is a terrific defender who can match up one-versus-one. He will help the Rattlers continue to create depth in their midfield line.
Kevin Drew was suspended from Syracuse University after an off-field incident last fall, but he is back in school and back on the team.
Round 3, Pick 1 (17th overall): Joe Cummings (M), Maryland
Joe Cummings is the best off the ball midfielder in the draft. Last year he was named a Third Team USILA All-America after scoring twenty-seven goals and adding five assists for thirty-two points. Four of his goals were game-winning goals. Cummings scored two goals against the Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA Semifinals during the 'Terps Cinderella run to the NCAA Final.
Joe Cummings has great instincts and lacrosse intelligence. He can score goals in bunches. Cummings will complement the Rattlers ball carriers Marty Cahill and Matt Striebel in the midfield.
Round 4, Pick 1 (25th overall): Bobby Dattilo (FO), Hobart
Bobby Dattilo wass the top ranked FOGO in the 2012 MLL Draft, and he has been among the best face-off guys in the country the past two years. He has ranked in the top ten in the nation in face-off percentage as a sophomore and junior with the Statesmen. Last season Dattilo went 192 for 296 (.649%) from the "X". He finished third in the nation in face-off percentage and eighth in the nation in ground balls (93). Datillo won better than 53% of his face-offs in every game that he played on his way to earning First Team All-ECAC honors.
Datiilo provides the Rattlers with another option at the FOGO position after they traded their 2011 FOGO Anthony Kelly to the Ohio Machine in an off-season deal.
Round 5, Pick 3 (35th overall): Tim Henderson (LSM), Army
Tim Henderson is a big, athletic long stick midfielder. The 6'3", 210 pounder is at his best causing turnovers and getting into transition. Last season Henderson caused eighteen turnovers, scooped forty-five ground balls and recorded eight points (5G – 3A).
The Tully, New York native was a First Team All-Patriot selection in 2011. He has great stick handling ability and the ability to cover up top as a long stick midfielder.
Round 6, Pick 3 (43rd overall): Carter Bender (A), Hartford
Carter Bender helped lead one of the best stories in college lacrosse in 2011. He led Hartford past Stony Brook in the America East conference and into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Bender, the 6'3" 205 pound attackman, scored thirty-five goals and added eighteen assists for fifty-three points and earned All-America East, America East All-Tournament, and Honorable Mention All-American honors.
Bender has a quick release after his upbringing in Canadian box lacrosse. He is going to look to add depth to a Rattlers attack that already features Ned Crotty, Grant Catalino, Dan Hardy and potentially Mike and Kevin Leveille.
Round 7, Pick 3 (51st overall): Charlie McComas (D), North Carolina
Charlie McComas was the North Carolina Tar Heels Freshman of the Year in 2009 and a USILA Honorable Mention All-American as a sophomore in 2010. McComas scooped 41 ground balls and caused 17 turnovers in seventeen starts as a freshmen, and collected forty ground balls and caused 14 turnovers in fifteen starts as a sophomore. Last year McComas collected 30 ground balls and caused nine turnovers.
Charlie McCormas is a 6'2", 200 pound defender who has gotten stronger in the off-season. During his senior season he is working on developing from a good one-on-one defender into a great one by working on his patience and consistency in defending. He is also looking at taking on a leadership role this season with the Tar Heels.
Round 8, Pick 3 (59th overall): Thomas Wood (A), North Carolina
Thomas Wood has had back-to-back successful seasons for the Tar Heels. Wood was selected as UNC's Most Improved Player after his sophomore year when he scored thirty goals and added thirteen assists for forty-three points. As a junior Wood scored twenty-one goals and added thirteen assists for thirty-four points.
As a college player Wood has proved himself to be a great scorer with a terrific shot. He has great speed, can handle the ball, and get to the cage. He can also feed the ball with both hands. In Major League Lacrosse the Rattlers are going to look for Wood to play off the ball for guys like Ned Crotty, Matt Striebel, and Marty Cahill who love to carry the ball.

The AdS-CFT correspondence (or Maldacena duality ) is a class of cases for which there is strong evidence that it realizes the more general and more conjectural holographic duality:
the conjectural Ads/CFT correspondence asserts an identification of the states of quantum gravity given by string theory on an asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetime with correlators of a superconformal Yang-Mills theory on the asymptotic boundary.
type II string theory on 5d anti de Sitter spacetime (times a 5-sphere) is dual to N=4 D=4 super Yang-Mills theory on the worldvolume of a D3-brane at the asymptotic boundary
(Aharony-Gubser-Maldacena-Ooguri-Oz 99, section 3 and 4)
We list some of the conjectured statements and their evidence concerning the case of -duality.
The hypothesis (Maldacena 97, section 3.1) (see (Aharony-Gubser-Maldacena-Ooguri-Oz 99, section 6.1.1) for a review) is that
is holographically related to
In (Witten 98, section 4) is is argued that the conformal blocks of the 6d theory are entirely given already by the states of (just) the effective 7-dimensional Chern-Simons term of the supergravity C-field, which locally is
But in fact the quantum anomaly cancellation (GS-type mechanism) for 11d sugra introduces a quantum correction to this Chern-Simons term (DLM, equation (3.14)), making it locally become
where now is the local 1-form representative of a spin connection and where is a Chern-Simons form for the second Pontryagin class and for the first.
That therefore not an abelian, but this nonabelian higher dimensional Chern-Simons theory should be dual to the 6d theory was maybe first said explicitly in (LuWang 2010).
Its gauge field is hence locally a pair consisting of the abelian 3-form field and a Spin group -valued connection (see supergravity C-field for global descriptions of such pairs). Or maybe rather to account for the constraint that the configurations are to be asymptotic anti de Sitter spacetimes (in analogy to the well-understood situation in 3d quantum gravity, see there for more details).
Indeed, in (SezginSundell 2002) more detailed arguments are given that the 7-dimensional dual to the 6d theory is a higher spin gauge theory for a higher spin gauge group extending .
11d supergravity/M-theory on the asymptotitc spacetime of an M2-brane.
(Maldacena 97, section 3.2, Aharony-Gubser-Maldacena-Ooguri-Oz 99, section 6.1.2, Klebanov-Torri 10)
D1-D5 brane system? in type IIB string theory
(Aharony-Gubser-Maldacena-Ooguri-Oz 99, section 5)
see also at AdS3-CFT2 and CS-WZW correspondence
(Aharony-Gubser-Maldacena-Ooguri-Oz 99, section 6.1.3)
(Aharony-Gubser-Maldacena-Ooguri-Oz 99, section 6.1.4)
While all of the above horizon limits product super Yang-Mills theory, one can consider certain limits of these in which they look like plain QCD, at least in certain sectors. This leads to a discussion of hologrpahic description of QCD properties that are actually experimentally observed.
(Aharony-Gubser-Maldacena-Ooguri-Oz 99, section 6.2)
See the References – Applications – In condensed matter physics.
The full formalization of AdS/CFT is still very much out of reach.
One proposal for a formalization of a toy version in the context of AQFT is Rehren duality. However, it does not seem that this actually formalizes AdS-CFT, but something else.

There is in fact one more quantization condition to be taken into account. For more in that see here. Up to the further twists discussed there, this means that the gauge group of the effective 7d theory is some contraction of the Spin group .

Get hitched with the ZTE Engage Video
Get hitched with the ZTE Engage Video Transcript
-Hello everybody. It's Lynn La from CNET, and today, we're gonna take a look at the ZTE Engage from Cricket Wireless. Now, ZTE is known for its wide array of midlevel devices, but the Engage is more higher end than what we usually see. This 3G handset packs a 4.3-inch WVGA touchscreen that has an 800 x 480 pixel resolution. The phone also runs on a nearly skinless Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. On the back is an 8-megapixel camera that can record 720p video and you also get a front-facing VGA camera. Powering the phone is a 1.4-gigahertz processor and a 1.9 ampere-hour battery. This will give you a reported talk time of about eight hours. Other features include Cricket's music subscription service, Muve Music, which lets you listen to and download thousands of albums and songs. You also get 1 gig of RAM and 32 gigs of expandable memory via a microSD card. If you're interested, this contract-free device was initially going for $250. Again, I'm Lynn and this has been Cricket Wireless's ZTE Engage.

ZTE Engage (Cricket Wireless) Review
The good: The ZTE Engage features Muve Music, has 32GB of expandable memory, and runs on Android 4.0.
The bad: The Engage takes poor photos and call quality was mediocre.
The bottom line: While the ZTE Engage flaunts a sturdier design and better screen than most ZTE handsets, it's a poor performer where it counts the most.
