Lighting performance
In order to precisely evaluate the lighting performance of our headlamps, Petzl has developed a thorough protocol for taking specific measurements. Results obtained in this way allow us to compare the lighting performance of many different headlamps. This information makes it easy for the user to make a choice based on his needs or personal criteria.
Petzl's measurement protocol
Petzl's measurement protocol is applied to tests performed in the lab on five completely identical headlamps. These headlamps are selected randomly directly from the production line. These headlamps are tested one by one with two new sets of the same type of batteries that are included with the headlamps (alkaline or rechargeable). Headlamps that do not come with batteries are tested with new alkaline batteries. In order to maintain a stable testing environment and statistically significant results, particularly with regard to batteries, all measurements are taken at 20 °C.
The final, definitive result for each parameter being tested represents the average of the ten measurements (five headlamps and two energy sources).

Minimum lighting
Before measuring lighting distance and burn time, it is useful to have a definition of the minimum amount of light below which a headlamp is no longer effective, i.e., when the lighting level becomes too low for adequate vision. Petzl has evaluated this illumination level to be equivalent to the light emitted from a full moon on a clear night, or 0.25 lux. This minimum lighting level is used as a reference for measuring lighting distance and duration.
Luminous flux
The luminous flux is the total quantity of light emitted in every direction from a source of light. Luminous flux is expressed in lumens (lm). It is measured in the lab, with the help of an integrated sphere device. This measurement is complementary to the lighting distance. Two light sources can in fact shine at the same distance with different intensities. As with lighting distance, luminous flux diminishes as the energy source drains. Petzl indicates luminous flux in maximum mode, thus providing the user with the maximum possible output of each light.
Some lumen equivalencies:
- candlelight: 10 lumens
- TIKKA PLUS2 (maximum mode): 50 lumens,
- DUO LED 14 (maximum mode): 67 lumens,
- household lighting: 100 to 200 lumens,
- ULTRA (maximum mode) : 350 lumens.
Battery life
Battery life is defined as the length of time that a headlamp illuminates at 0.25 lux or more from a distance of two meters. When the light produced is lower than this level, we consider that the headlamp is no longer usable, whether for walking, reading, or any other activity.
Lighting distance
According to Petzl's protocol, lighting distance corresponds to the distance to which a headlamp illuminates at 0.25 lux or more.
CONSTANT headlamps
CONSTANT headlamps are equipped with an electronic regulating mechanism that maintains a constant lighting distance for a given amount of time.
This distance/time association is indicated with the performance information of the headlamp. Once the available electric energy is no longer sufficient, the regulation automatically stops. In this case, the lighting strength diminishes to survival lighting to allow the user enough time to change the batteries.
STANDARD headlamps
For STANDARD headlamps, lighting distance decreases progressively as the energy source is drained.
Lighting distance measurements are performed:
- after 30 minutes of use (limited and short use)
- after 10 hours of use (continuous use)
- after 30 hours of use
Special case: signal lighting
Petzl considers signal lighting to be efficient when visible from 100 m or more. Under this distance, the lighting is not sufficient for being seen and ensuring adequate safety.
Battery life is defined as the length of time that the headlamp produces signal lighting that illuminates at 0.00001 lux or more from a distance of 100 m

With NFL teams stuck in a state of limbo thanks to the lingering lockout, we are taking a tour around the league and looking at where teams stand as they await the opening of the 2011 league year. Today, we offer our take on where the Jets stand.
Top three story lines
1. Which receivers will be back at the New Meadowlands? Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes and Brad Smith are all set to be free agents. Under 2010 rules, Holmes and Smith will be restricted. The Jets drafted two slot receivers who could replace Smith, but there are a lot of free agents to re-sign and they might not have room for Holmes and Edwards. Holmes is the higher priority for the team, but having both weapons for Mark Sanchez would boost last year's 22nd-ranked passing offense. With other free agents, such as Antonio Cromartie, Brodney Pool and Drew Coleman from the secondary, someone is going to get left out, and it's likely to be one of last year's top receivers.
2. The defense gets younger, but is without a pass-rush specialist. The Jets cut NT Kris Jenkins, OLB Jason Taylor and DE Vernon Gholston in February and might not re-sign Shaun Ellis or Trevor Pryce. Rookie Muhammad Wilkerson could be starting Day One at the five-technique. GM Mike Tannenbaum is excited about some of the young D-linemen that didn't play much last season and who could get thrown into the fold in 2011. Without Taylor, the team does not have a player who can consistently get after the quarterback. OLBs Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace will be counted on to get the job done.
3. Is it time for Shonn Greene to be the team's No. 1 back? LaDainian Tomlinson is ready to be the third-down back and isn't expected to have the type of season he had in 2010. Greene has yet to eclipse 200 carries in his career, and part of that is because of the team's RB-by-committee philosophy. It's possible that Joe McKnight sees more action, and maybe rookie Bilal Powell, but ideally, Greene would take the reins of the running game, the way the Jets expected when drafting him in 2009.
2011 free-agency — whenever that happens
Unsigned players: OLB Cody Brown (2), QB Kellen Clemens (5), CB Drew Coleman (5), OLB Shawn Crable (3), CB Antonio Cromartie (5), WR Braylon Edwards (6), DE Shaun Ellis (11), OL Robby Felix (1), PK Nick Folk (4), CB Ben Hannula (1), WR Santonio Holmes (5), OT Wayne Hunter (6), S James Ihedigbo (4), DT Matt Kroul (1), OL Dennis Landolt (1), LB Lance Laury (5), WR Logan Payne (2), S Brodney Pool (6), DE Trevor Pryce (14), RB Tony Richardson (16), LB Brashton Satele (1), WR Brad Smith (5), S Eric Smith (5), DT Martin Tevaseu (1), OL Robert Turner (3), P Steve Weatherford (5). [Editor's note: The number after a players' name is his years of service in the league. If the NFL decides to go with free agency under the same rules as used in 2010, then a player would become a restricted free agent after three years and an unrestricted free agent after six years.]
Analysis: The Jets have plenty of work to do in free agency with a plethora of veteran starters facing the option of testing the market. The top priority is likely Cromartie, but if the 2010 rules are in place he can play '11 on a first- and third-round tender. Then the receivers come into play, where the Jets would like to keep everyone but could end up with only Holmes, especially after drafting potential replacements for Brad Smith. Pryce is not expected to be back, especially with the team's depth and youth on the D-line. Ellis could stay in New York but it'd have to be for a pay cut. In the secondary, Coleman could be the team's nickel if he sticks around and Pool is the starting safety. Hunter might be expendable, as Vladimir Ducasse is set to be the team's starting right tackle. The team also needs to take a close look at special teams if it doesn't plan on re-signing Folk and Weatherford, although Folk received a tender.
2011 rookie class
First-round DE Muhammad Wilkerson (No. 30 overall) — The team's five-technique of the future, Wilkerson is supposed to be Rex Ryan's next Trevor Pryce. Assuming Shaun Ellis departs, Wilkerson, who should improve the D-line's pass rush, could start Day One.
Third-round NT Kenrick Ellis (No. 94 overall) — Ellis graded higher than where he was drafted but has character concerns with an upcoming criminal trial for felony assault charges. He is what the team is looking for to back up Sione Pouha with Kris Jenkins gone.
Fourth-round RB Bilal Powell (No. 126 overall) — This was a surprising pick to most observers, but the Jets want to have many backs. Powell could compete with Joe McKnight to be the team's No. 3 back and is insurance for when LaDainian Tomlinson retires.
Fifth-round WR Jeremy Kerley (No. 153 overall) — A quicker-than-fast slot receiver, Kerley could contribute immediately as Brad Smith's replacement.
Seventh-round QB Greg McElroy (No. 208 overall) — The smartest quarterback in the draft, McElroy could be Mark Sanchez's backup for years.
Seventh-round WR Scotty McKnight (No. 227 overall) — McKnight, Mark Sanchez's childhood friend, will fight to make the team as a reserve slot receiver.
Lockout fallout: How impacted will the Jets be by the work stoppage?
On scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the most significantly impacted), the Jets rate a 5. The coaching staff returns intact as does the all-important QB position, but there are a host of question marks with all of the team's free agents. Most of the top guys are expected to return, but without knowing what rules the NFL will work under or when free agency will begin, the Jets have to deal with plenty of uncertainty at wide receiver, defensive back and on special teams. If most of the starters return, though, this is a team that can challenge for the Super Bowl.

SELAH, Wash. -- A man is facing charges for a brush fire in Selah that burned over 500 acres last week.
Selah Police say Alejandro Olivarez admitted to lighting a luminary and releasing it to rise. After losing sight of the luminary, he went to find where it had landed. That's when Olivarez found the hillside at Lookout Point on fire.
Olivarez called 9-1-1 to report what happened, and when officers arrived, he told them what had taken police.
Olivarez was taken into custody on an unrelated matter. He will be charged Wednesday in Selah Municipal Court. Police forwarded charges of second degree reckless burning to the court.

Editor's Note:
Nick Casey, a 59-year-old accountant and lawyer, announced
in late April he would run for Congress in the 2nd District on the Democratic
He became known throughout the state's political circles
during his time as chairman of the West Virginia Democratic Party, and he
stepped out of that role four years ago.
The State Journal had five questions for Casey as he picks
up the pace of his campaign. Following is the full transcript of that
interview. A condensed version was printed in the Aug. 2 edition of The State Journal.
The State Journal: What have you been up to for the past
four years?
Nick Casey: I had a wonderful time being (U.S. Sen.) Joe
Manchin's chairman of the party, and was very active in that regard for folks
like Joe Manchin, and (Gov.) Earl Ray Tomblin and other folks at that time.
There's always, if you're in a role, when I was chairman of the board of St.
Francis Hospital or chairman of the party, you need that exit strategy, so some
opportunities came up. One of the things that happened, my firm, one of my
partners unfortunately passed away of a heart attack very, very unexpectedly,
so my colleagues at the firm decided I should be the managing member, the
managing partner as we say. We're technically a limited liability company, so
we have members as compared to partners, so I ended up being the managing
member, so in the last four years in part, for the law firm, we've expanded it.
Things are good. We never had an office in Morgantown,
and now we've got about 12, 13 people up there, and we're running out of space,
so I was involved in that expansion. And also because of some other
opportunities, we put an office over across the West
Virginia border, on the eastern side of Columbus,
and put an office over there for the firm. So I ended up doing quite a bit of
that kind of stuff from the law firm. Basically, my day job. I kept a day job
and kept practicing law. Also during that time there was some lovely
conversation about whether I might become a federal judge or not, up in the
Eastern Panhandle, so that was moving around.
TSJ: Why Congress for your first run at an office? Why not
start small and build up?
NC: Well, a very wise person told me, they were talking
about opportunity in life, and so sometimes a door opens; you know, you can
look through the door or you can step through the door.
When all the changes occurred, primarily when Sen. (Jay) Rockefeller
made his decision he was not going to run again and then other folks announced
they were going to run for his seat, that door opened up as far as the Second
Congressional District. So having been, not on a ballot, but kind of being no
stranger to the political process and what goes on, that door opens up, and I
looked through the door and what I saw was no incumbent, open seat, the Second
Congressional District.
It's lovely across the district, but I'm a Kanawha
County fellow, and Kanawha
County is a very large, at least
voting group, within the district, and I'm a Kanawha
County person. Actually, I've got
one foot here and one foot in the panhandle, but my major feet are planted here
in Charleston, in Kanawha
County. So the door opened, so I
looked through there, and I saw a chance to make a run at that level. I felt pretty
comfortable at that level because of my past activities. I knew people all the
way across through there. I kid around and say I've summered in Clay
County almost the last 20 years
working on houses up there for a week every summer with a bunch of college and
high school kids from Charleston Catholic
High School, so I kind of know all
the people and all the earth in Clay County.
So it just seemed like the opportunity existed. I kind of
have a background in the area, strong in, certainly in the Kanawha County part
of the area, the Clay County part of the area, going up through Elkins, and
even over across the mountains as I like to say, so that looked like a good
opportunity for me, and also an opportunity, I thought, to make a difference.
You know, I've practiced law for going on 36 years, and I've been a CPA, and
primarily practiced law, but had that overlay of being an accountant, I did a
lot of financial, and those kinds of things. I thought I might actually have a
skill set that can be helpful to the state of West
Virginia and the Second Congressional District if I
would jump in the race. And I've been very pleased some other folks agreed with
me, so that's why I headed in the Congressional race instead of looking at
something else.
TSJ: You talked about consensus-building and teamwork … but
what about some specific initiatives of things you want to work on?
NC: There's a couple of things, and one is an energy policy.
Not just for the Second Congressional District but for the country. We have a
very bad statewide relationship with the Environmental Protection Agency,
whether it's my farming friends over in the panhandle, or it's the gas people
who think they're coming to get them, or it's the coal people who have already
been "come and gotten," if you would, by the EPA.
In the Second Congressional District, you know, we've got
water power at either end from the Ohio River over to the Shenandoah, Potomac
on the panhandle side; we've got coal in Kanawha County and various other parts
like Clay County; we end up with all sorts of gas and gas liquids, and that's
an old industry that's suddenly come into a new, shining light again of
opportunities. The Second's got plenty of wind generation. I don't know if
you've crossed some of the ridges as you go through the Second Congressional,
but there's not dozens, there's hundreds if not thousands of those windmills
out there generating electricity. We even have geothermal hotspots that have
not been developed yet but they believe exist and could be a whole range of
energy. And I look at that and say, you know, we get what I consider no
positive, organized, rational guidance.
You know, when we hear gas will displace coal, we hear that
we can liquefy coal to make liquids so we can run, you know, automobiles, we
can use gas for the same purpose. We pay huge, huge, huge tax incentives and
tax credits for the windmills. We don't pay any incentive, that I'm aware of,
of any significance to the gas industry and the gas-liquids industry or the
geothermal industry. And so I look at that and say, you know, why isn't there a
more organized policy? Not a rule, not a regulation, not a mandate, but
somebody who says 'Look, here's where we see things going.'
I mean, I think our finest scientists all indicate that you
can't turn off the power plants to burn on coal, but that's going to be, maybe
some say in 50 years you can do that, or a different timeline. We need some
overlay on top of that so that, and I'll be real narrow, so the people of the
Second Congressional can make some plans. If you're trying to entice business
to come in here and develop the gas fields, I think businesses is entitled to
have some perspective that on a national basis, we see gas fulfilling this role
in the big picture. Same with our folks in the coal industry. Hey, we all know
coal is going to be here, so let's make some rational decisions so people can
invest their money along those policy lines and know there's some comfort level
that what we're not doing is putting these people into a pit where they're going
to beat each other up and nobody wins.
The other thing is, I have to put my accounting hat on, so
bear with me on this. Being an accountant, I don't use ball-point pens, I have
little sharp pencils with erasers on it because, you know, accountants make
projections, make estimates, measure things against those and see how they're
doing. One of the things that amaze me is our tax circumstances in this
country. People have a fun time saying 'We should raise taxes,' or 'We should
lower taxes,' or we should do this with taxes and all that, but I don't know
that anybody understands or has enough perspective to say 'Hey, look, when the
United States of America has money, what are its priorities as to the
expenditure of that money?' In other words, just like an energy policy, let's
get some priorities in there.
You know, if people would come up to my good friends in
Elkins and say, 'We need to adjust our taxes so that we can finish Corridor H,'
by golly, they might think that's a great idea. If they said, 'We need to raise
taxes so we can send it to Afghanistan,' they might not think that's such a
great idea. So one of the things that I want to work on is knowledge and
priorities. If we believe a program is appropriate to be funded, all right, if
we fund A, we can't fund B. If we fund A, why are we funding A? Maybe we should
fund B, or maybe we should try to fund something new. So some rationality in
how we prioritize expenditures is important to me.
They were kidding me and saying, 'You can't balance the United
States budget,' and I'd say why not? West Virginia balances its budget. It's
not as big, but it's complicated. And my other example … when I drive through
the Second Congressional, you pass not dozens of churches, you pass hundreds of
churches. Those churches aren't just springing up. They've been there, a lot of
them, for a long, long time. And when you're a lawyer/finance guy, you end up
on the church finance committee, and we have priorities. We can't print money
at the church. When we get money in, we prioritize it. Everything we do is
wonderful, but we can't do it all, so let's prioritize. If every church in West
Virginia is able to use its limited resources, prioritize how it's going to
spend it in a manner that that church can continue to survive, it doesn't seem
to me that it's such a daunting task to take on the budget of the United States
of America and bring some rationality to it.
One more priority that I have, and this might actually be
the primary priority … I certainly grew up this way, and had many people say to
me, this is the United States of America, we have the greatest form of
government in the history of the world, and when you watch what goes on in
Washington, whether it's the Senate or the Congress, or just the whole
operation over there, they rule by, at the moment by, I call it intimidations
or threats. You know, we're going to have a fiscal cliff, or we're going to put
in the sequester and we can't even agree to talk about what to cut, so we'll
just put these draconian, you know, we're going to filibuster. What happened to
Civics 101 or most of the stuff we had in fifth grade or sixth grade where your
body of Congress looks at issues, deliberates about issues, has rational
conversations, and yeah, then we can't agree, we can't agree. But we've gotten
to the point now that if somebody says let's talk about this, then someone says
not only can we not talk about that, if you talk about that I'm going to do all
these bad things over here to you in your budget. It's embarrassing.
I really feel it's important that people, and not just me,
you've got to have like-thinking people, who can go over there and say, 'Look,
we can't agree on everything. But let's process and discuss and be rational on
as many things as we can.' I was the president of the state Bar, and chairman
of all these hospitals, and they're all just microcosms of Congress. You can be
on the hospital board and have the nursing staff disagree with the doctors who
disagree with the administrators who disagree with the people that fund the
hospital, who disagree with the donors who are the beneficent, and you can have
nothing but disagreements, but you can go in there with a little leadership and
say we've got a mission, and let's try to balance our respective interests and
let's meet our mission. All the hospitals are able to do it, it's just a shame
the United States Congress isn't more civilized.
Hopefully we can bring a little more civility back there.
Some say, 'Well, you'll be one guy trying to do it,' and that's right, I'll be
one guy trying to do it, and hopefully there will be like-minded people and
pretty soon there will be a bunch of people that want to proudly say, 'Hey, I'm
with the United States Congress, and I'm proud of how we act,' instead of now,
which is, 'You want to run for Congress, with that bunch of nuts?' which is
really a problem. That's the one thing that has resonated with everybody. …
Forget their politics; everybody wants to take pride in the government, and
when you talk about how they're operating now, they all frown – some more than
others, but they frown and say this is not what we're about as a country, and
certainly Congress ought to be more mature and more responsible to the oaths of
office they take.
TSJ: What do you think will be your biggest challenge during
this campaign?
NC: I think voter apathy. I had a, a bank president, I might
add, send me a nice little note that said, he was quoting some Washington Post
article that said Congress is broken, and he agreed with it, and he said I just
despair it, and I think that's the biggest challenge that I'm going to have, is
to say to people, you know, look, you all can make a difference. Your vote
counts. You ought to come out and vote for the best candidate, and I'll tell
them, which I believe to be me, but you ought to come out and vote and get
involved and vote. Don't just say it's so bad it can't be dealt with. Is it
broken? Yes. But can it be repaired? Yes. And I think getting that message out
to people so that they feel they can meaningfully send somebody over there and
vote for somebody they can send over there that they can be proud of is a
The Second Congressional District is a tough piece of ground
to cover, just because of the geography of it all. I've been in statewide races
with other candidates, so it's not like it's that tough to cover because you
can do the whole state, but getting folks to recognize, whether they're in
Lewis County or over in Hardy County, you can make a difference, and you ought
to go out and vote for me. You ought to go out and vote, and let me persuade
you why you should go out and vote for me, but that's what I like to call the
turnout. I think that's a challenge that any candidate faces right now, and
that's one that I want to try to overcome.
TSJ: Win or lose, what comes next?
NC: Well, of course, you're in them to win them, as they
say. So the after plan, when I win, is just that. My goal is to go serve in the
United States Congress, and to do what's right, clearly for the people in the
Second Congressional District, but this is West Virginia. We're all in this
boat together, so my first priority is the Second Congressional folks and then
the one right next to it, pulling the same way, is West Virginia.
So my hope is to be able to do a couple of things, one is to
go over and serve with honor, so people say, 'Casey went over there, we sent
him, he listened to us, he did the right thing for us.' And then the second
part of it is to retire, not at a ripe old age, but Sen. (Robert) Byrd was
there for 50 years, God love him, and he started earlier than I did. My thing
is to go over there, serve honorably and then, at some point, let the next
folks come in and let them take the ball and advance it down the field.
If I'm elected, I'll be 61 when I'm elected. Term limits are
for people who are 35. Am I a career politician? No, I've had a career. I'm a
career attorney, and that's been my career. And yeah, I do want to be a career
politician for another number of years, but that's the career I want to have
secondarily is to be that. Then I'll come back and hopefully continue to, you
know, I would say write wills and do things, but I mostly do business and
financial stuff, so I'll probably, when it's all over with, I'll come here.
And, God forbid, if, for reasons out there that I don't
think are out there, that this isn't the right route, my colleagues at the law
firm are very supportive of me, but I think they'd love to see me stay as much
as they'd love to have me back.
I can live in the district, and work in Washington, D.C., so I'm really
looking forward to that. I've got some friends in the panhandle, one of my
buddies up there has been riding the MARC train for 11 years, back and forth to
his job in Washington, and so when I work in Washington, I'm not going to live
in Washington. I'm going to live in my district.

Citizen eCigs and eCigars Launch in Thousands of Retail Outlets Nationwide
LOS ANGELES, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nationwide taste test winner Citizen eCig, has burst onto the forefront of the eCig product landscape. The Southern California-based Citizen Electronic Cigarette company, has introduced the highest-quality, best tasting disposable eCig line, best priced rechargeable eCig starter pack and a revolutionary first-to-retail eCigar!
The Citizen Electronic Cigarette line is now available at Kroger, BevMo!, JayC Food Stores, Fred Meyer, Food4Less, King Soopers, Ralphs, Dillons Food Stores and select 7-11's.
Citizen eCig has piqued the interest of visionary entrepreneurs John Paul Dejoria and Sir Richard Branson. Dejoria was one of the first Citizen eCig investors and Branson voiced his support of the bourgeoning brand on his popular blog, "There are many people who are working to make positive change in the world in their own ingenious and meaningful ways. One such remarkable person is Monica Ord, she runs Citizen eCig."
Citizen eCig was founded by entrepreneur and Biomed industry veteran Monica Ord, CEO, based on the principle of "noble profit." Creating both an eCigarette and eCigar option that, when chosen over traditional tobacco products, could change the quality of life of all smokers as well as the health of the environment. Citizen eCig utilizes a team of specialists with more than 25 years in the biomedical, toxicology, cancer and disease industries to create alternative products to empower individuals to make the switch with little effort.
"Over the last ten years as a Biomed SVP working with promising disease treatments, I witnessed firsthand the death and destruction associated with Tobacco products. Providing a product that serves as an alternative to traditional cigarette and cigar smoking is our way of taking action against tobacco-related disease. Our commitment is not only to have the best tasting product, but also to scrutinize all ingredients to be the highest standard of products available," stated Ord.
First-to-retail, the Citizen eCigar's popularity has soared with its ability to feel and taste like the real deal, yet require no lighting, filling or charging. The Citizen eCigar comes with two soft tips and an ash tip and features a resounding 1,000 puffs of rich, bold Cuban cigar flavor per single cigar.
Citizen disposable eCig's require no assembly and no recharging and come in three flavors that are consistent taste test winners. Rebel Red, their traditional cigarette flavor, Georgia Peach, cigarette flavor with a hint of spicy peach and Menthol Ice. The Citizen rechargeable eCig starter packs include a rechargeable battery, two cartomizers, and a USB charger in a convenient side pocket. Available in Rebel Red, Georgia Peach and Menthol Ice and the Citizen Electronic Cigarette eCig starter kits are not only the best-tasting but also the most affordable on the market today.
An electronic cigarette, eCig or eCigarette, is a battery powered vaporizer which simulates tobacco smoking by producing a vapor that resembles smoke. The four-ingredient Citizen eCig and eCigar contain only water, flavoring, propylene glycol and nicotine, while offering a line of Zero nicotine products.

Raiders straight up cut him today. Seems like just yesterday he was "the next sure thing" Crazy how quickly and hard some of these guys fall.
He was taken 4th overall by the Seahawks in 2009. He was touted as the safest pick in the draft and in years. Brian Orakpo and Brian Cushing were taken 13th and 15th. Clay Matthews 26th. James Laurinaitis was 35th. Just reminds me that it's all a crap shoot and we are extremely lucky for this year's draft!
Could be wrong but I thought he was out all year due to a knee problem
I would bring him in for a look. Who says that the Raiders know what they are doing?

The party got a late start because the guest of honor was too busy working.
Four more Williston property owners were found to be non-compliant with the city's codes Monday night, and this could just be the tip of the iceberg.
Monday night, the Board of Adjustment found all four cases presented guilty of violations and issued sentences.
Keeping accurate records is vital to every department, but perhaps none so much as Williston Police.
Last week, Chief Dennis Strow asked for, and received, permission to spend more than $19,000 to acquire new software.
The package will allow the department to better maintain reports, including incidents, accidents, arrests, investigations, ordinances and activity logs. Software was bought three years ago in anticipation of the Levy County Sheriff going to the same program, but it never happened and the software is less than adequate.
Levy County Property Appraiser Oz Barker informed the Levy County Commission on Tuesday that this year's Truth in Millage (TRIM) notices will be hitting the mail today (Thursday) and Friday.
For the second consecutive year, a Williston Middle School FFA student has won the coveted State Star Discovery Award.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• Aug. 4, William Michael Carryer, 19, Bronson, VOP.
• Aug. 4, Rhiannon Cribbs, 20, Morriston, grand theft. Bond $20,000.
• Aug. 5, Chad Alexander Cumbo, 30, Bronson, VOP.
• Aug. 5, Jessie James Eichelberger, 44, Williston, battery on person age 65 or older. Bond $50,000.
• Aug. 8, Blake Fontana, 20, Morriston, four out of county warrants. Bond $100,000.
• Aug. 18, Daniel Lee Bennett, 25, Floral City, grand theft. Bond $50,000.
• Aug. 21, Shannon April Brown, 36, Old Town, petit theft. Bond $500.
• Aug. 23, Joshua Zachary Clemons, 21, Trenton, VOP.
• Aug. 19, Richard Cooke, 19, Tampa, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond $1,000.
• Aug. 18, Bobby Duffy Jr., 33, Chiefland, non support of children or spouse.
The county has a grudge against the City of Chiefland, is what some city officials are saying about Chiefland's pursuit of emergency services and annual funding from the county for fire protection.
At Monday night's city commission meeting, both the issues of ALS and fire funding were discussed during a recap of a meeting last week on ALS between area medical directors, officials from the county and the City of Chiefland.
It's time to vote folks.
The primary election is Tuesday, Aug. 26, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., but voting has been underway for quite a while.
A Williston attorney has been named to a Judicial Nominating Committee by Gov. Rick Scott, who announced six appointments to three such committees last week.
Norm Fugate, 54, president of Norm D. Fugate, PA, was chosen to serve on the Eighth Circuit Judiciating Nominating Committee. He succeeds Kathryn McLeod Lancaster and was appointed for a term beginning Aug. 4 and ending July 1, 2018.
Other appointments include:
• Fifth Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission

The thing with the kitchen, there is a lot of space it's just not designed well.
Despite our home only being 2 years old, we've decided to have some additional cabinets added. Merely for my sanity.... and storage.
Here is a drawing of the design:
I think I like option A the best, but they're all really nice... We just had new cabinets added to our kitchen as well and though it was pricy, I am thrilled to have more storage... Sometimes the best option isn't always the cheapest, but if you're happy with the results - that's what counts! :)
I like b and c because they don't have tiles that jut out. The jutting out parts look like they would collect dust and be hard to wipe off.
Oh yay! Fun renos! I love the extra storage/desk area you are adding! I curse my kitchen wishing there was more storage as well. I would have chosen different cabinets & hardware (in our kitchen) and while they are "nice," not my choice. We also don't have a backsplash (yet), but McHottie was talking about putting that on the project list just the other day as a DIY.
For yours, how far are you going with the backsplash? All the way to the desk and keeping the same straight line all the way across to the end? Are you considering tiling the entire wall below the cabinets where the desk will be? If so, I might go with a less multi-coloured tile so that it doesn't look too "busy", but I like the idea of continuing that whole space down to the floor.
It's hard to judge because the colours of the cabinets/counters are not likely represented truly in the photos (the cabs/counters look darker in some photos) and it's important to consider the texture of the appearance of the tile on the floor. THIS IS HARD! I need side by sides of the floor tile and the ones you have.
I'm stumped right now! Every time I go to type a favourite, I change my mind! I kind of like the rectangular skinny glass tile (A), but also the 3D light coloured mult-sized rectangles for more dimension (D)
Is a contractor doing it all, or are you DIYing any of it?
If you pick B...we will be kitchen buddies. Seriously..that is almost exactly the same as ours. We have very dark cupboards and a countertop that has the same tones so it goes well. I SUCKED at our renos..My hubs picked it all out as I can't visualize it all well.
Love the design!!
I like A and I agree with the previous post that the tiels that jut out would be total dust collectors, what a great point.
B or C. I think C would really warm up your kitchen.
Nice kitchen! Lucky you have the room to add more. My kitchen is retarted! I like option B.
I have the same as option B :). We dont have the same coloured cabinets - but i live my backsplash and its very versatile!
And love the renos you are doing!
Another vote for A! I dream about finally getting back up to full time work so I can proceed with my kitchen renos and that's the style of backsplash I want. :)
Definitely option C!
A or C.
A would be a more monochromatic, cooler feel while C would be warmer and tie in cabinets and counter. It'll look great either way!
definitely option B!

VALLEY CENTER (CNS) - A suspected car thief drove toward a sheriff's deputy in Valley Center early Monday, narrowly missing the lawman and setting off a pursuit that ended with the suspect getting away, authorities said.
The deputy saw the suspect blow through a red light at Valley Center and Cole Grade roads around 2:20 a.m., according to San Diego County sheriff's Sgt. Nick Peters.
The deputy followed the suspect to a dead end road, where the suspect turned the black Nissan 240 he was driving around, facing the lawman, who had exited his patrol vehicle after using it to block the suspect's, Peters said in a statement.
Instead of complying with the deputy's orders to stop, the suspect immediately drove toward the lawman and his vehicle, narrowly missing both, Peters said, adding that the deputy got back into his vehicle and pursued the suspect for about 10 miles.
The pursuit ended at Paradise Mountain and Lake Wohlford roads when the suspect crashed and bailed on foot. Peters said a sheriff's helicopter and police dogs were used to search for the suspect but he got away.
The Nissan turned out to be stolen from the Oceanside area, according to Peters, who said investigators were also looking into whether the suspect was involved in a burglary that occurred earlier in the night in the Valley Center area.

We have a bluetooth device connected to a Mac. Sending pictures from Mac to 7650 is ok, but the phone says the format is not recognizable. On various Nokia website mention that a video player is preloaded or some kind of default, and loading should be less of a hassle than we are experiencing, but I think we do not have the commercial model which the site is talking about. We only have Real One Player and it will only works with the streaming online media. Do we need to subscribe for any services to get this Real One Player to work? Can you kindly send me a step by step instruction on how to load the video player into the 7650 phone to view videos? And I would like to have the contact info of the engineer who will be helping people like us on March 6th, so that I can also talk to him on this issue just in case we have more troubles (and such things surely happen). I suppose this project is for the Munich thing, so I have to finish this within this week. I really appreciate your prompt help. Thank you very much.

Connect in Compassion
"Yoga Junction in Fairfield, CA will be donating all class proceeds in October from a new Community Flow Yoga class offered Sundays at 4:30pm, taught by Yoga Junction teacher training interns. For more information, call (707) 428-YOGI (9644) or visit www.yogajunction.net."---
"In Canada, we are not too close to reach out our hearts and hands to the people of the Katrina tragedy. But in some way I think the energy we can send them and the hope in our prayers will assist them in rising and surviving.
"I live in Longview, Texas. It is 60 miles west of Shreveport, LA. My teacher, Melanie Fawer owns a Mysore Ashtanga yoga studio in New Orleans. After the flood, the images, the awareness of the victims taking refuge in my town and state I felt the need to do something. My husband told me that my orignal plan of driving to New Orleans and sweeping up a momma and her babies would not work, since they would not let me in and I would likely not have gasoline to return. So, hopeless I then decided to call upon my students and friends. We held a compassion class in our teacher's honor on Labor Day weekend. It followed with a beautiful guided meditation on compassion by Jack Kornfeld. Students were moved to tears and gave donations from their heart. I visited the shelter and gave the money to the Red Cross. I had never guided a meditation prior to this one and it was an overwhelming experience. Allowing the pain and suffering of all those individuals to pass through my heart was something I had never experienced. The compassion that was generated was equally amazing. The money was tangible and would allow for material needs, but I am quite convinced the compassion sent out from our little community offered a spiritual healing. We will continue to focus on compassion and healing for our new neighbors, friends, the relief workers and Melanie."
"I just wanted to bring to your attention a very good charity, Sewa USA (www.sewausa.org)."
"From my small sudio: All of the fall 2005 class fees to the Red Cross. Many of my students' employees are matching gifts to the Red Cross. See our site: http://www.lotuslogicyoga.com
"Namaste Yoga Studio in Tampa, Florida had a donations box for hurricane Katrina setup at the front of the studio from Sept 1 thru 9. We collected money from students. The studio doubled their money. The Pilates director doubled the money again, and then we gave to an organization that tripled that total amount.

Mark Dean Veca is a purveyor of prehistoric magic: creating space on a two-dimensional plane with a few lines of charcoal, ink, or paint. He draws on paper, canvas or walls and uses simple black lines to manifest volume, space, and depth. He shares his illusionary worlds and characters to express the internal and external tension of the human condition as he experiences it. His work is visceral, carnal, with its depictions of organs and orifices and writhing tendons, arteries, and intestines. It is comic and unnerving with strong contrasting palettes and patterns and odd juxtapositions of historical and popular iconography often abbreviated, disfigured, or exposed.

Andy Dalton found his fellow rookie once again for a touchdown in the Bengals' win over the Colts today. A. J. Green finished the game with 51 yards on five receptions. It was his fourth touchdown of the year, and he and Dalton seemed to have formed a solid connection for the surprisingly successful Bengals.
Green was averaging 80 receiving yards a game with 402 receiving yards on the season and three touchdowns through his first five games of the 2011 NFL season. Green's having the best rookie season out of the rookie wide receiver class.
Green was ranked by Yahoo! as the 9th ranked wide receiver heading into Week 6 taking on the Indianapolis Colts who rank 19th against the pass.

The Startup Class--Designing the Technology Venture Startup
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 2012 - $41,000
This grant supports development of The Startup Class, a new interdisciplinary course at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. The Startup Class will pair Virginia Tech's entrepreneurial ecosystem with research-based design pedagogy to support students in creating new technology ventures. In the course, students will integrate customer and product development ("lean startup" principles), creating technologies and businesses based around market needs. Teams will be able to pursue commercialization beyond the course by enrolling in VT KnowledgeWorks, a local business accelerator, and working with The Entrepreneurship Center @ Northern Virginia Technology Council. The long term goal is to design an innovation and entrepreneurship certificate program and eventually offer a minor in global engineering.

Lunch Pack 109 109
Peace Sign Lunch Pack Like the matching backpack, we love the design and look of this lunch pack. It's pretty roomy inside and the interior lining makes it easy to clean. My only suggestion would be to add an exterior pocket for water bottles. August 25, 2014
Love our Rocket Lunch Pack We love our rocket lunch pack! My little guy loves using it every day. The inside lining wipes clean easily and it fits both a lunch size divided container and his water bottle. The rocket print is such a great retro look, perfect for my preschooler who is really into all things space right now. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the personalization. I had selected the "Toboggan" color, which I thought was a deeper orange and would match the accent color on the bag handle. However, I think they monogrammed our bag in plain orange. It doesn't look bad though and my son certainly doesn't mind, I just wish it matched better. Additionally, I would have loved to have been able to personalize the lunch bag with his name, not just his initials. Overall though, we are very happy with the lunch pack and I would *highly* recommend it! August 22, 2014
Adorable Pony Lunch Bag We absolutely love the lunch bag we ordered! It is great quality and even cuter in person! I wasn't thrilled with the options for embroidery, so I just had it done privately. August 21, 2014
long-lasting I bought two of these for my kids last year, and they are still in great shape after being used almost every day! August 21, 2014
Nice lunch pack This seems to be a high quality lunch pack. It has an inside pocket for an ice pack and is large enough to fit everything I have tried to pack in my daughter's lunch so far. She loves that it matches her backpack! August 21, 2014
Matching with backpack I love how this lunchbox attaches to the JR Backpack. So easy, little hands can manage with no assistance. The ONLY negative was not being able to embroider a four letter name on the lunchbox, it would only fit three. It would have made my day to have the backpack AND the lunchbox embroidered. Love both the backpack and the lunchbox. So much better than the generic characters on so many kids backpacks (and clothes too, but that's a different review....). August 20, 2014

The 2012 Australian Open is through two days of action without a major upset in Melbourne, but there have been exciting matches already taking place in the year's first tennis major. American Andy Roddick didn't make his first round match too exhilarating, however, as he advanced in straight sets.
Roddick, the 15th-ranked tennis player in the world, defeated Robin Haase from the Netherlands in three sets (6-3, 6-4, 6-1) to advance on Day 2. The American will face stiff competition in the second round as he matches up with Australia's own Lleyton Hewitt.
Other winners on the second day of action down under included Novak Djokovic and Kim Clijsters, as previously noted, along with Andy Murray picking up a win to make it a good day overall for players named Andy in Australia. The only major upset thus far happened when Australian Samantha Stosur was dismissed in a rather quick match.

It will still be a while before we start seeing the stickers on store shelves, but the long-awaited R18+ category for videogames is now officially part of Australia's National Classification Code, having come into effect nationally from January 1st 2013.
The new rating does not apply retroactively, so only games actually submitted for classification (or re-submitted) from the beginning of this year will wind up in the new category.
New South Wales, The ACT, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory have passed legislation to govern the proof-of-age sale restrictions and penalties, but Queensland is still going through the motions, with the QLD Attorney-General's office recently confirming that "This means R18+ computer games cannot be publicly demonstrated, made, or sold until the law is amended in Queensland". The QLD State Government is expected to revisit the matter in February following a mandatory committee review process, but it is generally expected that they should still have things sorted before the first R18+ rated games hit Australia shelves.
Players hoping for recently refused classification games such as Syndicate or Mortal Kombat to finally see local release, or games like Left 4 Dead 2 to now be uncensored are likely to be disappointed, as that would require their publishers to formally submit the games for reclassifaction and wear the costs associated with that process. Even then it's possible that they would still be RC'd as the new R18+ category is not significantly more lenient than the former MA15+ tag.
We'll start to get a better idea of what this means for Australia's adult gamers once the first R18+ ratings are declared by the Australian Classification Board.

There are two basic types of medical training: allopathic and osteopathic. The traditional medical degree, the MD, requires training in allopathic medicine. Osteopathic medical schools award the DO degree. Both attend medical school and receive substantial training (4 years, not including residency).
The curricula of both schools are similar. State licensing agencies and most hospitals and residency programs recognize the degrees as equivalent. In other words, ostepathic doctors are legally and professionally equivalent to allopathic doctors. The important difference between the two types of schools of training is that osteopathic medical schools take a holistic perspective on practice of medicine based on a belief in treating the "whole patient" (mind-body-spirit) and the primacy of the musculoskeletal system in human health and the utility of osteopathic manipulative treatment. DO's emphasize prevention, a historical distinction which is less relevant as all of medicine increasingly emphasizes prevention.
There are fewer DO programs than MD programs with about 20% of medical students entering DO programs each year. As compared with traditional medical school, osteopathic medical schools have a reputation for looking at the applicant, not just his or her statistics, and therefore likely to admit nontraditional applicants who are older, non-science majors, or seeking a second career. The average GPA and MCAT scores for incoming students are slightly lower in osteopathic programs, but the difference is rapidly falling. The average age of entering osteopathic students is about 26 years (vs. allopathic medical school's 24). Both require an undergraduate degree and basic science coursework before applying.
The main disadvantage of choosing osteopathic medicine is that that you may find yourself educating patients and colleagues about your degree and credentials (i.e., that a DO is the equivalent of an MD).
