Zowie Gear EC1 eVo Competitive Gaming Mouse
Looking at the EC1 eVo from the left side shows you three things right away. There is the egg shape of the top with its smooth transition from the highest point all the way down to the sides and the back. There is also a pair of buttons found here, and the last thing is the rubberized coating that has been applied.
From the back, you obviously see the white painted Zowie name and logo, but if you look up, you can also see that there is an ergonomic lean to the top of this mouse. This allows you hand to sit more naturally over the mouse without tweaking your wrist.
On the right side, there isn't a rest for your extra fingers, but to help you when you do have to lift the EC1 eVo, the side does curve under the mouse to give you something to grab onto.
Looking at the front of the EC1 eVo, you get the main right and left click buttons, and then between them is a white scroll wheel that will illuminate when powered up to denote DPI. Aside from that, there are just smooth curves and a "grippy" rubber coating to keep you in control even when heated up a bit sweaty.
To protect the feet and the optical sensor in transit, Zowie ships the EC1 eVo with a layer of plastic over it.
With that plastic out of the way, you can see this mouse uses two large feet to allow it to glide over most surfaces with ease. If you look in the middle and find the sensor, just to the right of it is where the DPI button is located.
With the EC1 eVo you get a full two meters of cable to connect the mouse to the PC. The connection is gold plated to help fight oxidation, and the cable is left with the plasticized coating, no braid needed.

What does Beauty mean?
"The artistic beauty is not to represent a beautiful thing.
It is the beautiful description of a thing". "Emanuel Kant"
.¿Observ, see, look at. What is the right word? I do not know.
The only thing you can say is that the hermeneutic process that occurs between the spectator and the artwork it is of the same nature with that connects the creative act of the artist with his work.
In the end, it is a very intimate attitude.
The theory of art and the psychology, they try to "explain" this process.
And they have its validity in the argumentative ability they can develop.
Only that to "educate" our view and our spirit we should enrich
us with the artistic proposals.
Before explaining something we have to understand it.
We cannot do things in reverse way.
For me, having the opportunity to be in front of an artwork allows me to connect me with the opportunity to enjoy and live the beauty: to me it means the possibility of enrichment a creative development.
That is precisely the difference; a work of art endures in its beauty because
it is not a fad, nor a need for immediacy. The beauty of the work is not to adapt
or to follow the aesthetic canons, but enhance the spirit of being.
Moreover, the creative act seeks to break paradigms. Precisely in this, it lies the beauty of an artwork, in reinvent itself each time .
All you need to do as a viewer is to understand that a picture is enjoyable. That is precisely the key and the final result that one search: generate emotions.The latter does not mean "describe" the work, let it explains by itself. What we should really do is "feel with the eyes" the beauty of things. This certainly requires a great exercise in contemplation, something which, today, it becomes a big challenge.
However, everything can be achieved. The first step is to give us the opportunity to see a picture, and not force the mind, nor much less the emotions; everything should flow spontaneously.
View forms, colours, the distribution of namespaces, the elements of a composition, the implementation of the shadows and lights, the absence of some elements, the suggestion of the theme, the reflexive challenge, the attitudes of persons or things, the arrangement of the painting, the lighting, our mood and our willingness to appreciate the poetic language of the work. All this should be, I repeat, enjoyable
. How often and when you've given the opportunity to see a painting? What are your reasons? If you have not done so, I invite you, to give you this wonderful opportunity. You will have a unique spiritual growth. You will begin to understand many things, as for example, that one you have in your hands the possibility of not living in the immediacy.
As Octavio Paz said: "I'm in a hurry to hurry and not know why".
You can stop the time-space and once you've reached the aesthetic enjoyment,
you can apply to other aspects of your life.That is really the role of art. Invite contemplation and creation of our own reality in a measured, disciplined and transformative way. It is therefore, to enrich us spiritually.
For you: what is beauty?

The Meaning of Art.
en español
Author: José Manuel Merello
contemporaneous spanish artist
"Everyone wonders what else is art. I think that art is any human creation that gets uplift the spirit to a higher level of a wonderfull and sublime excitement. ART with capital letters is easy to detect; its light continues to shine through time. The Art History is the emotional and spiritual history of man. It is a count of their sublime sentiments embodied in creations that transcend time. Altamira and Lascaux are early examples of this desire of man to express his emotions.
Concerning the initial impulse to leave a record material for an emotion or an spiritual pleasure,I do not think that there is an artistic period superior to any other. On the other hand I do think there are stages of art that are superior to others since the moment the human being progreses in his technique.
Just as scientific progress goes straight upwards, the artistic progress that needs of technology to advance, it grows in a rising but discontinuous line. It depends on at least two parameters : the technique and the spiritual emotion.
Art is not a feeling. Art is its manifestation, its incarnation. Art is the sculpted feeling, written and materialized by the technical skill. Primitive man had only some minimal tools to express himself, and because this his art it is more basic than, for example,the Baroque Art.
The problem is that technique and emotion do not always grow in a parallel way. We can find stages of art better than others. In some cases they could have had a lower technical help but its emotional and spiritual boost are far more intense and pure. On the contrary,in others stages of art,in spite of having more media and tools, art goes weakened because the soul of the man is more dark, repressed or manipulated. If the spirit of man goes through a sublime and free time, and it is accompanied by a superior technology, then we are undoubtedly talking about a Golden Age of Art.
Modern Art today is an area of freedom and fresh air unthinkable until now. Never before in the history of art there were so many technical possibilities for the artists and so many artistic language to express themselves fully and widely. Apart from exclusion and favoritism, the various schools and trends of art have an open field in front of them that promise fabulous creations in the years ahead.
Surrealism, which in its beginings, in the twentieth century,it was born as an art movement perfectly defined,it is now a current perforated by Expressionism, Figuration, Abstraction and many schools and movements that enrich it without disperse and extend it without cancel it.
I think that the borders in art tend to disappear. It is still complex to think about this because we are in the present of this Art MultiMovement walking toward the Unique Art. But watch this, never a unique art should be an imposition
or an absolute movement. Art is free by nature and always it will flow like water slips through the fingers, far from the premonitions and from the horizons that society would like to make or impose."

Art as a Search of the Ideal.
Andrei Tarkovski (1932-1986)
famous russian movie director
Why does art exist? To whom is missing? Is there someone who need it?
Matters that raises not only for the artist but also for any person who enyoy
or "consume" art, to say it with a word that, unfortunately,
unmasks cruelty art-public relationship in the twentieth century.
Therefore, this issue affects everybody and everybody
who has to do with art tries to give an answer.
Alexander Blok said that "the artist creates harmony out of chaos".
Pushkin attributed to the poet prophetic gifts.
Each artist is completely determined by laws of his own.
These laws are worthless for any other artist.
I think that there is no doubt that the goal of any art
is not to be "consumed" as a commodity. It is to explain
himself, and those around, the meaning of life and of human existence.
It tries to tell the man what is the motive and the purpose of his existence.
Or maybe not explain it, but only take him to face this question.
In my opinion the indisputable role of art is linked to the idea of producing
an effect that it is expressed as a shock.... as a catharsis.
In a sense, the man gets to know every time a new understanding
of the meaning of life and of his own being, their potential and goals.
Of course that he also will use the sum of human knowledge.But, even though,
the ethical and moral self knowledge are still the key.
The experience of each person has to be done again and again only by each person.
Again and again, the man's relation with the world
will be always pushed by the tormenting desire to appropriate the Ideal.
The utopian and unrealistic character of that desire is the perennial
source of discontent and suffer by the failure of the self.
The art and the science are forms of knowledge that try to appropriate
the "absolute truth" of the world,
But this is the end common point of these two expressions of creative human spirit,
insisting that this creative spirit has to do not only with discover but actually with create.
In art, the man takes control of reality through his subjective experience.
In science, human knowledge follows the rungs of a ladder
without end, in which there always will be
new insights about the world to replace the old ones.
It is a gradual way where the ideas are replaced each other in logical
sequence because the more detailed factual knowledge.
On the contrary, knowledge and artistic discovery are starting each time
as a new and unique image of the world, as a hieroglyph of the Absolute Truth.
It is a revelation, a passionate desire of the artist that shines suddenly,
as an intuitive desire to host all the laws of the world, its beauty and ugliness,
its humanity and cruelty, and its unlimited and limit being.
The artist reproduces all this in creating an image that tries to contain the Absolute.
Using this image he fixes the experience of the endless and by means of his limitations he expresses the spiritual instead of the material; the infinite instead of the finite.
It can be say that art is a symbol of this world, coupled with the spiritual absolute truth,
that is hidden for us because the positivist and pragmatic practice.
If a person wants to join a particular scientific system, he must activate his logical
thinking,he has to master a particular training system and have to know how to understand it.
The art is open to eerybody, hoping to araise a sensitive impression,
to trigger an emotional wreck and to be accepted.
The art does not want to propose rational arguments to people. Art tries to convey
an spiritual energy.
The art emerged and developed where there is that eternal and restless desire of the spiritual.
This ideal is what makes people congregate around art.
The thirst for the ideal is what makes that the artistic image is always a symbol.
It replaces one thing for another, the greater by the lesser, the finite for the infinity
Infinity is unrealized, it can only be presented as a creation, as an illusion, as an image.
The awfulness is enclosed in the beauty, the same as beauty is inside the awful
Life is involved in this conflict, grandiose to the point of absurdity, a contradiction
that in the art appears as smooth and dramatic at the same time.
The image allows us to perceive this unity, in which everything is contiguous to the rest, everything flows and enters the rest.
You can talk about the idea of an image, to express its essence in words. You may verbalize, formulate a thought, but this description can never be exact.
An image can be felt, accepted or rejected,
but it can not be understood in a rational sense.
The idea of infinity can not be expressed in words, it can not even be described.
But art provides the possibility that makes that the infinite be there,
be close to you, be noticeable.
The artistic worck requires a true artist's compliance of himself. If art works with the hieroglyphic of the absolute truth, each of these images is an image of the world.
And if scientific knowledge is like to be advancing through the rungs of an endless ladder, the artistic knowing remembers an infinite system of spheres,inside perfect,but closed in themselves.
The areas with which the art works can complement or contradict each other, but in no case, one can be substituted for another. Quite the contrary: they enrich each other and form in its entirety a particular and general area, which grows to the infinity. These poetic revelations of eternal validity show us that man is capable of knowing and expressing who's image he is.
Moreover, art has a deeply communicative function.
Unlike science, artwork doesn't pursues a practical goal of material importance.
Art is a meta language that help people try to move toward one another, establishing communications about themselves and adapting each other's experiences.
But perhaps, intuition approaches the art and the science, these two forms of appropriation of reality so contradictory at first sight.
Intuition plays an important role in both cases, although,obviously, it is more important in the artistic creation than in science.
Also the concept of understand means in each area something completely different.
The understanding in the scientific sense means to agree to logic, to reason, it is an intellectual act related to the proof of a theorem.
The understand of an artistic image means, on the contrary,to receive the beauty of art at an emotional level, in some cases even "above" emotions.
The conscious jump in the logical thinking is based on knowledge of the laws of a particular scientific field. And although it seems that scientific discovery is a result of inspiration, the inspiration of the wise minds has nothing to do with the inspiration of the artist.
The birth of an artistic image, a unique and closed image is created at another level, a non-intellectual level, it can not be explained by an empirical process of knowledge.
When an artist creates an artistic image he is also beating his thoughts, which is nothing
compared to the image of the world captured emotionally.
This image is for him a revelation, the thought is fleeting and the image is absolute .
Therefore we can talk about parallels between the impression of an spiritual
and sensitive person with those persons who esperiment religious experience.
Art is particularly important to form the spiritual structure of the soul of a person.
The artist is a person with the imagination and psychology of a child,
Words and images do not describe the world. The world is his own creation.

North London Railway
North London Railway | |
Locale | London, United Kingdom |
Dates of operation | 1850–1922 |
Successor | London, Midland and Scottish Railway |
Track gauge | 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge |
Headquarters | Bow, London |
The North London Railway (NLR) company had lines connecting the north of London to the East and West India Docks in the east of the city. The main east to west route is now part of London Overground's North London Line. Other NLR lines fell into disuse but were later revived as part of the Docklands Light Railway, and the Overground's East London Line. The company was originally called the East & West India Docks & Birmingham Junction Railway from its inception in 1850, until 1853. It ceased operations in 1922.
The NLR's headquarters and locomotive works were initially located in Bow. At first, it ran trains from Camden Town[1] to Poplar, and from there via the London and Blackwall Railway to Blackwall and the East India Docks; a connection at Bow allowed trains to run to Fenchurch Street. This arrangement lasted until 1865, when an extension from Dalston Junction to Broad Street was opened; Broad Street became the main terminus, and the Poplar line became a branch.
In the meantime, the line had been extended westwards to Hampstead Road[2] in 1851 to join the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). In 1858 the line was extended along the North and South Western Junction Railway (a joint enterprise by the LNWR, Midland Railway and the NLR) from Willesden Junction to a London and South Western Railway branch to Richmond. A bypass line from Camden to Willesden Junction via Gospel Oak and West Hampstead opened in 1860. Meanwhile, at the eastern end, a spur line connecting the NLR to Stratford from Victoria Park opened in 1854 but was not used by passenger services.
The LNWR took over the working of the railway on 1 February 1909.[3] The company remained in existence until 1922, with its own board of directors and shareholders, when it was absorbed by the LNWR under The Railways Act, 1921 (the Grouping act). The last board meeting and last shareholders meeting were both held on 23 November 1922, the latter giving the shareholders' approval to the absorption. The board minutes were signed by A Holland-Hibbert, the chairman, who added "Goodbye!". Beneath this was typed, "This was the last Board Meeting of the North London Railway Company, the Undertaking being absorbed under "The London and North Western Railway (North London Railway and Dearne Valley Railway) Preliminary Absorption Scheme 1922" by the London and North Western Railway Company as from 1 January 1922."[4]
The LNWR, which half-owned Broad Street station, was responsible for fourth-rail electrification of the Broad Street to Richmond and Kew Bridge services in 1916. The latter was cut as a wartime economy measure in 1940 and not resumed.
The line from Dalston Junction to Poplar was heavily damaged during the Blitz of World War II. Passenger services from Broad Street to Poplar via Victoria Park and Bow were not reinstated at the end of the war (its official closure was 14 May 1944). Broad Street to Dalston Junction closed on 30 June 1986.
Present day[edit]
In 1979 the line between Richmond and Dalston via Gospel Oak and the extension to Stratford was joined with the former Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway to form the North London Line. The line between Willesden Junction and Camden via Primrose Hill is now primarily used (in 2014) for empty coaching stock movements between the North London Line and Willesden Depot, freight trains and, during engineering work, diverted passenger services to and from the Watford DC Line. Primrose Hill station has been closed.
The Docklands Light Railway follows the path of the long-disused North London Railway from Bow Church to Poplar, and the northern section of the East Cross Route (A12) built in the late 1960s used the route between Old Ford and Victoria Park stations, demolished for the road's construction.
The East London Line Extension took over the abandoned stretch between Dalston and Shoreditch.
Among the first locomotives bought by the railway from outside contractors were five 0-4-2ST saddle tanks. After that, all were constructed at Bow, London.
Bow railway works was built in 1853 and had a sizeable wagon repair shop. When the railway was merged into the LMS it was the smallest of 15 workshops. It repaired NLR locomotives and from 1927 those from the former London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR).
In the 1930s the works developed and manufactured the Hudd automatic control system for the LTSR, which led to a British Rail (BR) team from the national headquarters setting up in Bow to develop BR's standard Automatic Warning System. The workshop was badly damaged during the blitz and the wagon workshop destroyed.
In 1956 the workshop repaired diesel-electric locomotives for the motive power depot at Devons Road (the first to become all-diesel). After a while it was receiving locos in the morning and turning them round by the evening, which initially confused the statistical returns since locos were entering and leaving the works on the same day. The works closed in 1960.

In an event highlighted by the ceremony acknowledging the 26 seniors, the Oregon Track and Field team produced its final showcase at the Oregon Twilight as it prepares for the Pac-12 Championships next week.
The seniors were recognized by the coaches in front of the west grandstand before an announced crowd of 4,044. Then the seniors took one last victory lap around the track.
For the meet it was the 800 that proved to be the featured event as both the men and women's field was loaded with current and former Oregon athletes.
The men's race featured Oregon's Sam Prakel, Austin Collins, Jordan Latt, Russell Hornsby and Alec Smith. Joining them were Nike OTC Elite runners Elijah Greer and Charles Jock. Greer is a former Oregon runner.
The pace was substantiated by Greer who was running as the pace setter. He dropped out at the final 300.
The winner was Oregon Track Club's Harun Abda, who narrowly beat out Cas Loxsom with a time of 1:47.33. Loxsom finished second with a time of 1:47.47.
"Charles is my roommate and Elijah is my teammate, so yeah, it kind of gives me bragging rights," Abda said. "For one week maybe they will make me breakfast or something."
On the women's side, Oregon's Claudia Francis was the lone current Duck racing alongside two alums, Becca Friday (running for Rogue AC/Adidas) and Anne Kesselring (Oregon Track Club).
In another competitive race, it was Katherine Katsanevakis of Australia who won with a time of 2:03.63. Kesselring finished fifth, Francis finished seventh and Friday finished eighth.
The Oregon throwers continued their strong season with another impressive performance at the Twilight.
Senior Laura Bobek won the women's discuss with a final mark of 50.43 while Ryan Hunter-Simms finished second in the men's discuss with a throw of 153-03.
In the women's hammer it was Oregon alum Britney Henry who won the event (216-03) while Oregon's Jillian Weir finished second (197-00).
The best performance from a thrower came via unattached athlete and former Duck Cyrus Hostetler, who shattered the Twilight meet record with a top throw of 263-05. He beat the previous mark set by Brian Crouser that stood since 1989.
Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton made appearances as well Friday night. Eaton competed in the men's 110 hurdles and the 4×400 relay while Theisen-Eaton took part in the women's high jump and javelin.
Eaton finished first in both of his events. He was able to beat freshman Devon Allen with a time of 13.47 in the 110-meter hurdles. That mark beat his own Twilight record he set in 2011. Then the 4×400 team cruised to a first place finish with a final time of 3:08.03.
Theisen-Eaton was able to win the high jump with a final jump of 5-10 and finished sixth in the javelin with a throw of 142-05.
"It wasn't that great of a day to be honest," Theisen-Eaton said. "I don't like to use the weather as an excuse so I'm not going to. I have a few weeks to iron it out, so it should get fixed hopefully."
While Theisen-Eaton was unhappy with her result in the javelin, Oregon's Liz Brenner was very pleased. The sophomore multi-sport athlete finished second in the event with a final throw of 159-04.
Freshman Brittany Mann continued her strong outdoor season with another victory, as she won the women's shot put with a distance of 53-06.50. The throw was only half an inch short of her personal record.
Oregon's Ashante Horsley made her imprint on the meet. First she won the women's 400 with a lifetime best time of 54.58. She followed that up with a third place finish in the women's 200 with a time of 24.70.
The final two events of the night were the women's 1500 and the men's 1500 invite.
The women's race was won by Lauren Johnson of Nike OTC Elite as she crossed the line in 4:16.97. Right behind her was Oregon sophomore Annie Leblanc with a time of 4:18.05.
The conclusion of the Twilight featured a strong field in the men's 1500 invite, including Mac Fleet, Trevor Dunbar, Jeramy Elkaim and Daniel Winn of Oregon as well as former Ducks Matt Miner and A.J. Acosta.
The finish was as close as they come as the race was decided in a photo finish. Ben Blakenship came in first (3:39.33), followed by Jordan McNamara (3:39.40) and Fleet (3:40.00).
Click here for an entire list of results from all of the events at the Oregon Twilight.
The next meet on the schedule for Oregon will be the Pac-12 Championships in Pullman, Wash. starting Saturday, May 17.

Last May, the WB created a buzz by promising a boy / boy kiss on ''Dawson's Creek,'' only to show a groundbreaking but disappointingly quick peck between Jack (Kerr Smith) and Ethan (Adam Kaufman). Well, this year, Jack gets a second chance at romance.
On the drama's May 2 Prom Night episode (''Promicide''), the lovelorn high school senior will lock lips with crush Tobey (David Monahan). The kiss has already gotten a thumbs up from Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) spokesman Scott Seomin, who clocked the lipsmacker at 5.5 seconds and declared it a huge leap forward in the portrayal of gay characters on TV. For the show's executive producer, Paul Stupin, the accolade means a lot -- but more important, the moment had to be ''meaningful and powerful'' for Jack's character: ''We wanted to make it a good kiss, And it's a HELL of a kiss.''
''Dawson's Creek'' may be the first network TV series to show a passionate homosexual kiss. Yet Stupin says the show met with no interference from either the WB or censors, adding that conservative protests over Jack's openly gay character have been minor in comparison to positive fan reactions: ''It turned out the studio and the network were right behind us on it. They trusted us.''
But ''Dawson's Creek' isn't the only show to feature same sex smacking during this month's sweeps season: Lesbian relationships have featured in plotlines of ''Friends,'' ''Felicity,'' and ''ER.'' (''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'''s female couple kissed, without network fanfare, back in February.) As many TV and media critics have pointed out, though, it's different for guys: When women kiss, some viewers and advertisers think it's sexy or innocent (''Buffy'''s lovers, on the May 1 episode, were mistaken for affectionate sisters.) When men kiss, however, it's another matter entirely.
But Stupin says ''Dawson's Creek'' isn't merely cashing in on the latest sweeps stunt trend: ''Our viewers are emotionally invested in seeing Jack happy, and it's been difficult for them to see him provide stability for all of the other people on the show by being such a good friend and then have to face such instability in his own personal life in his inability to find a boyfriend.''
The payoff for Jack, and many of the other characters, will come on Wednesday's episode. ''The prom is held on a boat, which is very romantic and beautiful, but when the boat leaves the dock, there's no way for anyone to get off of it until the end of the evening,'' says Stupin. ''So no one can get away from their issues, which is positive for some and not so positive for others.''
He adds that the love triangle involving Joey, Pacey, and Dawson will hit another snag, with Pacey and Joey's romance crumbling. As for Jen, she'll have to endure the prom party with a date she never expected. And by the time the season wraps up on May 23, the entire cast will have not only weathered a guest appearance from the perpetually troubled Andie (Meredith Monroe) and a bittersweet graduation (May 16), but will also be preparing to leave the Creek behind. ''Joey has gotten into a prestigious school in Boston, as have Jen and Jack, so Boston will figure into our series,'' says Stupin.
Whether the show's production base will relocate from Wilmington, North Carolina, is still up in the air, though Stupin promises the show will shoot in a location that's just as ''romantic and beautiful'' as the fictional Capeside, Massachusetts. So much for that name change to ''Dawson's Frat House.''

The Slade & Marvin Family TreeUpdated March 4, 2007 |
Dear Slades, I have decided to pry back into our past and discover how this all began. As I move forward or backwards, any information, family pictures, or family documents you might want to share, would be a great addition to the project. In a very short time I have retraced four generations of Slade's and even more on the Marvin family. Thanks again for your help and input. Terry |

WHEN CALIFORNIA VOTERS passed the campaign reform that created "top two" primary elections, they set the stage for having the two top vote-getters face off in November.
As we saw in the 2012 Assembly race, those top-two finishers could be from one party rather than the traditional Democrat-versus-Republican finale.
We present our endorsements in accord with the new format and will recommend two candidates instead of just one. In past years, we would recommend a Republican and a Democrat during the primaries. Under the new format, we are offering our recommendations on the top two candidates in the field. Voters can only vote for one.
In the June 3 race for the 2nd District in the state Senate, we recommend Sonoma County Supervisor Mike McGuire and Novato School Board trustee Derek Knell.
They have the most on-the-job political experience in elective office compared with two other challengers, Novato lawyer and entrepreneur Harry Lehmann and Lawrence Weisner of Santa Rosa, the only Republican in the field.
McGuire, a former Healdsburg councilman, has been able to muster the strongest list of local political endorsements. He says he would be an advocate for public schools, public pension reform and post-recession reforms on how the state spends and invests taxpayer dollars.
Of the four candidates, he was the only one who listed full funding for completion of the widening of the Novato Narrows as a top priority. He understands the economic and environmental importance of the project.
He also says it is time that California focus on bolstering the speed of its broadband infrastructure.
McGuire is young, energetic, knowledgeable and unknown to Marin voters.
"I want to be able to prove myself," he says.
Knell is a longtime Marin resident and businessman who said he entered the race because he was troubled that the Democratic Party hand-picked McGuire to be Marin's new state senator. The California Democratic Party endorsed McGuire even before the filing period had closed for candidates and even before Knell filed to run.
Knell believes voters should have a say, too.
Marin has not been represented in the state Senate by a local resident since 1978, when Mill Valley's Peter Behr retired.
Knell was recently elected to his third term on the Novato School Board, where he has been a voice for pragmatic decisionmaking. His experience as a roll-up-your-sleeves local school board trustee might prove helpful in Sacramento, which seems, at times, out of touch with the real-life ramifications of its decisions.
Knell says he would push for the state to make it easier to move workers to defined-contribution programs that are the norm in the private sector.
Interestingly, Knell was the only candidate to state his commitment to get the Legislature involved in helping the Drakes Bay Oyster Co. fight its eviction.
Lehmann, who is an independent, is more philosophical than political in his approach. He wants to work for reforms in the state's justice system to help end a costly and unsuccessful pattern of "over incarceration."
Lehmann also says he would abolish the Association of Bay Area Governments and its "developer-driven" planning goals.
Weisner is a certified public accountant who says the state balances its budget on "smoke and mirrors."
He says the bullet train is "crazy" and calls San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed's proposed pension reforms "a beginning."
Weisner is hoping his three rivals split votes among Democrats and other liberal voters, allowing him to ride the votes of Republicans and conservatives into the November run-off.
Given the left-leaning politics of the district in which Republicans make up only 22 percent of the registration, the numbers would be stacked high against Weisner in a November faceoff.
The two best candidates who offer voters the most hands-on political experience are McGuire and Knell. Both have records of on-the-job local leadership.

What's even more frightening is that somewhere out there there exist a man who would ( willingly )have sex with it.
Grandmapa ?
Is that a hickey too? ugh.
OK. That looks like a bra made out of candy necklaces. Who's brave enough to take the first bite.
Looks like somebody already did. On her right udder.

LUCKNOW: Close on the heels of Jan Chetna Yatras undertaken by the party stalwarts Rajnath Singh and Kalraj Mishra to break the ice with indifferent vote-bank, BJP prepares itself to target the first-time voters to bolster its tally in election 2012. The state unit has decided to hold Nav Matdata Sammelan (new voters conventions) in all assembly constituencies across the state and the exercise will begin once the twin yatras conclude in Ayodhya on November 19.
The strategy was finetuned at a meeting of senior state functionaries a fortnight ago, party spokesperson Vijay Bahdur Pathak told TOI. According to statistics, the number of first-time voters this time could well exceed 20 lakh in the state, Pathak said. Though the number may not be too big, in many places the segment can directly affect the results. The party think-tank had therefore hit upon the strategy to address them directly, he added.
"The first priority before us is to make a right assessment of their strength," he pointed out. The party headquarters has already sent out instruction to district youth wings to make door-to-door contacts and gather first-hand information of the scenario. This apart, the yuva morcha is working on the voters list to get the specific constituencywise details. "We have a broad idea but the final compilation may take a few days more," Pathak said.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 10/1/2002
Although the trail-readiness of the bone-stock Wrangler is well documented, eager Jeepers, always looking for the off-road advantage, have made the four-wheeling accessory market fat and happy. In creating the Rubicon, Jeep itself at last has a Wrangler with the kind of kit a serious rock-hopper could heretofore find only in the aftermarket.
Diamond-plate sill protectors prove their worth on the trail within minutes, and the grab-happiness of the 245-series Goodyear Wrangler MT/R tires is simply astonishing. A low-range transfer case with a 4:1 ratio puts more torque at the wheels and significantly enhances control at single-digit speeds. Completing the package are locking front and rear differentials on stout, Dana 44 axles, actuated by a toggle switch on the dash.
Jeep's familiar, 4.0-liter straight six is the only engine, matched to a standard five-speed manual gearbox. A four-speed automatic is available (notably upgraded from the old three-speed), but in truly hairy situations, we appreciated the manual's more subtle power delivery and superior engine-braking ability.
The Wrangler Rubicon is, all told, a stupendously capable tool for traversing hostile terrain. And, aside from the knobby Goodyears' incessant drone, on-road behavior is all but indistinguishable from that of lesser Wranglers. Unlike typical catalog creations, the Rubicon was engineered as a complete vehicle, without the bad manners that often accompany a la carte upgrades. Jeep chose its equipment carefully and wisely beefed up secondary components to cope with additional mechanical stresses. As a result, the Rubicon's boulder-bounding heroics are backed up by the less dynamic virtues of reliability and everyday drivability.

News of import | Times of London plans to splash footie in U.S.
London | An American edition of the Times of London—for distribution in New York and Washington—will try to capitalize on "unsatisfied demand" for soccer coverage, especially during the World Cup finals. The staid London daily, owned by the Rupert Murdoch–controlled News Corporation, is responding to trends in Internet traffic that show close to 40 percent of visitors from the USA. The same numbers hold true for another prominent London broadsheet, The Guardian, which produces a weekly edition for readers abroad.
Times editor Robert Thomson said the new product would feature soccer on the front page during the World Cup, with Times number-crunchers rooting for the U.S. team's success to boost sales. More broadly, Thomson notes a demand for international news going unsatisfied. "You've got China and India on the rise, Japan coming back, Europe a fascinating story, and yet fewer American journalists in the field than perhaps at any time in history."

Mark and Grace Driscoll
from Mars Hill ChurchPastor Mark Driscoll is the founding pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Washington and is one of the world's most downloaded and quoted pastors. His audience—fans and critics alike—spans the theological and cultural left and right. He was also named one of the "25 Most Influential Pastors of the Past 25 Years" by Preaching magazine, and his sermons are consistently #1 on iTunes each week for Religion & Spirituality with millions of downloads each year.
Pastor Mark received a B.A. in Speech Communication from the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at Washington State University, and he holds a masters degree in Exegetical Theology from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon. He is the author of fifteen books.
Grace Driscoll delights in being a stay at home mom and helping raise the Driscoll's three sons and two daughters. She is also a graduate of the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at Washington State University, where she earned a B.A. in Public Relations.
In 1996, at the age of twenty-five, Pastor Mark and his wife, Grace, started a small Bible study at their home in Seattle, which at the time was the least churched city in America. Since that time, the church has exploded with upwards of nineteen thousand people meeting across thirteen locations in four states (Washington, Oregon, California, and New Mexico). Mars Hill has been recognized as the 54th largest, 30th fastest-growing, and 2nd most-innovative church in America by Outreach magazine.
Pastor Mark is the co-founder of the Acts 29 Network, which has planted over 400 churches in the US, in addition to thirteen other nations. He founded the Resurgence, which is receives close to six million visits annually and services Christian leaders through books, blogs, conferences, and classes. And he is co-founder of Churches Helping Churches with Pastor James MacDonald, which raised over $2.7 million to help rebuild churches in Haiti and empower them minister and provide aide to the Haitian community, and helped deliver $1.7 million in medical supplies to the devastated country.
With a skillful mix of bold presentation, clear biblical teaching, and compassion for those who are hurting the most—in particular, women who are victims of sexual and physical abuse and assault—Driscoll has taken biblical Christianity into cultural corners previously unexplored by evangelicals. In the same year that he spoke at a Gospel Coalition conference with notable contemporary theologians like John Piper and Tim Keller, he also discussed biblical sexuality as a guest on Loveline with Dr. Drew, was featured on Nightline, and preached for Rick Warren at Saddleback Community Church.

When it comes to vehicle registration fees, a state senator believes size should matter.
To encourage people to buy more fuel-efficient vehicles, Sen. Slade Mead, R-Ahwatukee Foothills, has written a bill that would charge higher fees for people who drive gas guzzlers such as Hummers and sport utility vehicles.
Those who drive gas sippers such as Hondas and hybrid gas-electric vehicles would be charged less under SB1060.
But some people need larger vehicles and should not be financially penalized for that, said Bobbi Sparrow, a lobbyist for the Arizona Automobile Dealers Association.
Mead doesn't see it that way. Vehicles with the lowest fuel efficiency also are, in most cases, the heaviest, he said.
"If the registration fees go into maintaining the highways, the bigger the car, the more wear and tear on the highway," he said.
Road damage isn't the only issue. Cars and trucks using the most fuel are likely the ones causing the most pollution, he said.
State law bases each vehicle's registration fee on its value. The amount drops yearly along with the value of the car.
Under Mead's plan, the lowest rates — and a potential discount of hundreds of dollars a year — would be reserved for vehicles that get at least 50 miles per gallon.
Vehicles that get 15 miles per gallon or less would have the highest fees.
The proposal wouldn't get people to give up big vehicles for efficient ones, several Valley auto dealers said Tuesday.
Customers have demanded bigger vehicles for years and they rarely ask about gas mileage, said Joe Maggio, the general sales manager of Darner Jeep in Mesa. Maggio said last summer's gas shortage in the Valley — and the subsequent jump in fuel prices — didn't change what customers want.
Maggio can't imagine higher fees would change the desire for big vehicles, either.
"Somebody who's driving a Denali or one of those big Cadillac SUVs or Suburbans, they're not going to give up a Suburban and drive a minivan or Jeep Liberty," he said.
For drivers such as Diane Fisher of Mesa, gas guzzlers are a necessity. Fisher, who spent part of Tuesday looking for a truck or SUV at Sun Pontiac GMC in Mesa, said she needs a big vehicle for her remodeling business.
The tax would punish people like her because they couldn't make a living with a sedan. "We have to have at least a truck," Fisher said.
Lifestyle also plays a role in what people buy, Sparrow said. People who own horses need to tow trailers, and family sizes also dictate purchases.
"If you have more than three children, you may need to have the third back seat," she said.
Manufacturers are encouraged to build more efficient cars, Sparrow said, through laws that govern the Corporate Average Fuel Economy.
"For each big vehicle there has to be another vehicle that has lower corporate standards to be able to offset it," she said.
Sparrow said that means manufacturers have to make and convince consumers to buy more efficient cars so they can keep selling the larger ones.
The standard, unchanged for more than a decade, requires that any manufacturer's passenger vehicles average 27.5 miles per gallon. But there is a different standard for sport utility vehicles and light trucks.
Even with a new increase, the average for 2005 model trucks and SUVs will
have to be only 21.2 mpg.
This isn't Mead's first foray into encouraging more fuel-efficient vehicles. The senator last year proposed allowing gas-electric hybrid vehicles to use the highoccupancy vehicle lanes during rush hours.
Now the only time a singleoccupant vehicle can use those lanes is if it runs solely on compressed natural gas or other alternative fuel.

State Agency Steps Up Elevator Enforcement
State Agency Steps Up Elevator Enforcement
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) announced it is tightening enforcement on the "firefighters emergency operation" safety feature for all elevators in Texas.
While the actual requirements have not changed since 1993, beginning on September 1, 2012, TDLR will take a non-compliant elevator out of service completely instead of citing the building owner.
Texas regulations require all elevators to have a firefighters emergency operation safety feature to prevent passengers from riding an elevator during a fire, to prevent the elevator from being called to or going to a floor with a fire, to provide firefighters a means to move equipment and personnel during an emergency, and to provide emergency personnel a means to evacuate people from the upper floors of a building during an emergency.
HATC recommends that all lodging operators check with their elevator service providers before September 1st to ensure compliance with this important safety requirement.

"Life Care's directors of nursing have what is generally recognized as the most demanding job in the long-term care industry," said Beecher Hunter, Life Care president.
"Life Care began hosting an annual meeting for these dedicated nurses in 1991 in order to (1) get to know them better personally, (2) provide inspiration and motivation for the mission to which they are called, and (3) afford networking opportunities for these clinicians. We are blessed to have these clinical leaders in our company and honored to have them in town for this meeting."
The meeting will follow the theme, "It's All From the Heart," and provide a forum for nurses to share their experiences with their peers.
The four-day meeting begins today, April 21, with a breakfast. Music will be provided by The Talleys. In the evening, the attendees will enjoy a movie at the IMAX theater in Chattanooga, followed by a private reception at the Tennessee Aquarium.
The annual Directors of Nursing Awards Banquet will be held on Monday, during which nurses from each of Life Care's seven divisions will be recognized for superior patient care. Life Care's highest honor, the Mary Denton Award, will be presented, as well as the Companywide Director of Nursing of the Year Award. Facilities that earned Joint Commission accreditation during 2012 and facilities that received deficiency-free nursing surveys will also be recognized.
Special guest speakers for the week include Molly Cox, Lisa Thomson and Aaron Wilburn.
Founded in 1976, Life Care Centers of America is a nationwide health care company. Life Care operates or manages more than 220 nursing, post-acute and Alzheimer's centers in 28 states.

Linuxworld: Motorola Presents a New Linux Platform
Motorola presented its new Motomagx Linux platform for cellular phones at Linuxworld Expo in San Francisco. In the next few years, Motorola will be looking to migrate up to 60 percent of its cellphone portfolio to the Motomagx.
Motomagx currently supports Java applications based on Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME). Future versions will also support native Linux programs and Web user interfaces (WebUIs). The first products to use the platform are the music cellphones Motorokr Z6 and Motorazr2 V8. Motorola quotes Linux and Web applications as the decisive innovations in what it calls an "open and modular platform". According to Motorola, the Motorazr2 V8 is the first Linux cellphone to be launched on the US market.
Motorola is also introducing Motodev Studio (Beta), an Eclipse-based suite for developers. Right now Motodev Studio is only available for Java ME development, however, the program environment is modular, and further modules are to be expected. Plugins for WebUI and Linux have been announced for late in the fourth quarter.
As further motivation for application developers Motorola will be offering training and sneak previews of the platform and future versions at a series one-day summits.

Depending upon the severity and responsiveness to other treatment surgery may be recommended for the scoliosis. Surgical correction involves correcting the curve (although not all the way) and fusing the bones in the curve together. Bone grafts are laid across the exposed surface of each vertebra. These grafts will regenerate, grow into the bone, and fuse the vertebrae together. The bones are held in place with one or two metal rods held down with hooks and screws, which also helps to support the fusion of the vertebrae.

Summary: For his humanistic religious verse, his poignant and deeply personal antislavery poems, and, above all, his lifelong enthusiasm for liberty, nature, and the art of poetry, George Moses Horton merits a place of distinction among nineteenth-century African American poets. Enslaved from birth until the close of the Civil War, the self-taught Horton was the first American slave to protest his bondage in published verse and the first black man to publish a book in the Sou ...show moreth. As a man and as a poet, his achievements were extraordinary. In this volume, Joan Sherman collects sixty-two of Horton's poems. Her comprehensive introduction--combining biography, history, cultural commentary, and critical insight--presents a compelling and detailed picture of this remarkable man's life and art. George Moses Horton (ca. 1797-1883) was born in Northampton County, North Carolina. A slave for sixty-eight years, Horton spent much of his life on a farm near Chapel Hill, and in time he fostered a deep connection with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The author of three books of poetry, Horton was inducted into the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame in May of 1996. ...show less

Far Cry 2
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.01
Timedemo or Level Used: Ranch Long
Developer Homepage: http://www.ubi.com
Product Homepage: http://www.farcry2.com
The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montreal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more.
Looking above you can see some decent gains in Far Cry 2 in some areas, but as you'd expect, performance is just very strong on all these high-end video cards anyway.
Please Note: We still include Far Cry 2 in our benchmarks (we know it's old) as a way for our readers to get a general representation of how older games perform on new hardware.

MCMGs Powerbomb Illness and Injury
A lot of fans are peeved that the ring structure has changed in TNA. For those unfamiliar with the product, TNA started with a six sided ring when they debuted on national TV some years ago. Personally though, I couldn't be happier that we actually use a more traditional four sided squared circle. Here's why: in December during a match with Doug Williams, I was dropped with a backdrop suplex directly onto one of the metal pillars that was necessary to keep the six sided ring solid. It hurt. It felt like someone used one of the cattle prods from the original Road Rash for Sega Genesis on my spine. I felt a giant shock wave radiate through my lower back.
Bear in mind, when one's actually wrestling, pain is an afterthought most of the time. Adrenaline, blood, and focus are pumping. After the match, I flashed back to my very first day of wrestling, training in a pole barn somewhere outside Port Huron. I remember hitting the canvas for the first time and thinking "I don't know if I can do this." Up until this point, I had wanted to do nothing else. Quite the predicament, no?
Anyway, my back stiffened up, but that's usual for me. I'm 26, almost 27, and I feel like I'm twenty years older than I oughta. Christmas Eve rolls around, I'm at the gym, and there she goes; I pull a muscle in my back. Now, having played sports my whole life, this has happened before. Muscle spasms in the back suck, and I figured this was no different. So I get home, open presents with my extended family, and for some reason, I feel like the patriarch because I'm welded to a chair, unable to move, and my younger cousins are having to hand me everything, fetch me everything. I remain useless and nearly paralyzed for about two weeks. I spent my New Year's Eve lying in bed with a heating pad. What a HOT date, huh?!?! Get it? Ah, no good? I tried.
I got an MRI a couple weeks later after nothing had improved. Guess what? Two herniated discs, and two bulging discs. That was January 5th.
It's March 25th, and I'm just now starting to feel better. The other day, I moved a chair and thought: "Wow, I didn't have any pain, nor did I have to bend down into the shape of a question mark."
So for all the fans out there who wonder why sometimes wrestlers aren't exactly the most approachable folks at all times, keep in mind that much like Transformers, there may be more than meets the eye. And whatever you do, don't dust off the old "I pay your salary!" or "You'd be nothing without the fans!" like. Yeah, and McDonald's would be nothing without customers, you know?
Besides, most fans are really nice. As are most New Years and Christmases. Those rings sure are a lot harder than I thought though.

When a sample of your breast cancer is examined under a microscope, here's what the pathologist looks for:
Some breast cancers are sensitive to your body's naturally occurring female hormones — estrogen and progesterone. The breast cancer cells have receptors on the outside of their walls that can catch specific hormones that circulate through your body. Knowing your breast cancer is sensitive to hormones gives your doctor a better idea of how best to treat the cancer or prevent cancer from recurring.
Hormone status of breast cancers includes:
With ER positive or PR positive breast cancer, hormone-blocking medications, such as tamoxifen, may be an option to slow the cancer's growth. HR negative cancers don't respond to hormone-based therapy.
Doctors are just beginning to understand how the individual DNA changes within cancer cells might one day be used to determine treatment options. A cell's DNA is full of instructions (genes) that tell it how to behave. By analyzing the genes, doctors hope to find ways to target specific aspects of the cancer cells to kill them.
Laboratory testing can reveal certain genes in your cancer cells, such as:
Using genetic information about cancer, doctors are now able to categorize breast cancers into groups. Categorizing cancers based on their genetic makeup helps guide decisions about which treatments are best. Breast cancer groups include:
Understanding more about the chemical and genetic makeup of your cancer may help doctors choose the most effective treatment for your specific cancer.
