| Rams Game Offensive Review I'm going to just post the link to the defensive review (when it's written), since many of you have already gotten a half-dose of my observations on the defense in the Fire Haslett thread. ***** There were numerous problems with the offense in this game, possibly none bigger than the fact that the left side of the offensive line from the first two games (Trent Williams and Derrick Dockery) did not appear in this game. Kory Lichtensteiger is clearly the new starting LG and he was pretty clearly the Redskins best offensive lineman in this game. I like Lichtensteiger because his field presence is far superior to players like Casey Rabach and Jamaal Brown. He adjusts very well to things the opponent do, and he's really the best thing we've had on the interior since Pete Kendall in 2008. This would normally be where I recommend that he start at left guard full time...but I actually think we need Lichtenstieger worse at center. This group of coaches aren't big fans of Derrick Dockery (who you may remember was a teammate of Kyle Shanahan at Texas), and Dockery did not appear in this game. Dockery isn't mobile, at least not in the way that Artis Hicks and Lichtensteiger are. This team likes to pull it's guards a lot in the running game and Derrick Dockery is a big problem as that kind of lineman. He's going to have to be in between the left tackle and the center when he makes his block and that limits what Kyle Shanahan wants to do with his play calling. It really makes you wonder how Mike Williams would have played RG in this system. Still, even with the way that Kyle Shanahan is struggling to call an offense that doesn't completely out talent all opponents, Dockery is a necessary evil. You just can't play with Casey Rabach on the interior. Rabach didn't have a particularly bad game, but you can credit Lichtenstieger for helping him correctly sort most protections and get double teams on generic Rams nose tackles such as Fred Robbins. The next move is Lichtensteiger as the long term replacement at center, and a new left guard next year, possibly Erik Cook? Kory Lichtensteiger wasn't perfect in this game -- he had a false start in the fourth quarter, for example -- but his mistakes are benign compared to the rest of the line. I thought Stephon Heyer played admirably in place of Trent Williams. He's really worked to turn himself into a great run blocker and had a lot of key blocks for long runs by Torain and Portis. Two years ago, those holes aren't there because Heyer was terrible in space. He's still just a marginal pass protector, but when you consider that the Redskins gave him little help (outside of Lichtensteiger's general awareness), his performance was pretty acceptable. The Rams have a nice prospect in George Selvie who is just a rookie, and he fought Heyer to a virtual draw on Sunday. Rams backups at that position did nothing. On the other side, Chris Long would like to announce himself as the next pro-bowl level defensive end in the NFC. He did so against Jamaal Brown, who is playing like anything but a pro bowler. Brown had some help in a lot of max protect schemes, and still got schooled by a third year pro. The Redskins had just 46 snaps leading up to McNabb's game icing interception, and about a 63% pass rate, or 29 dropbacks. Chris Long won on about a quarter of those dropbacks, and was by far the most dominant defensive force in this game. Jamaal Brown has been anything but impressive as a Redskin, and when Trent Williams is healthy, look for Stephon Heyer to get more and more of his reps. It's probable -- with a lot of football left to play -- that Brown is a one season player here, and a trade that helped for depth, but may not have improved the starting lineup. Then there was this week's "lesson not learned from the Jim Zorn era." Shanahan apparently sat Clinton Portis down for most of the second half for not finishing a run in the first half. With Portis on the bench, the Rams' pass pressure schemes got more and more complicated, and the Redskins decided that they'd rather not run into these pressure schemes, rather, would let Ryan Torain learn to pass protect on the fly. It was hard to notice any progress. Torain, like Keiland Williams, is a willing pass protector, but has absolutely no aptitude to hit a defender in the backfield. He even struggles to make contact. The thing that de-railed Zorn's offense as much as anything was his refusal to work Portis into the third down pass protection schemes, meeting the oft-injured RB halfway. If we're in for another season of this garbage, we could have saved a lot of money just letting Zorn coach out his contract and replacing his coordinators. Donovan McNabb is clearly adept at feeling the rush, but the cumulative effect of pressure finally got to McNabb in this game. The Rams started to get really creative with pressures when they felt they were safe from the Redskins running game, and they were able to create both mismatches on the Redskins line (i.e. Torain) as well as free rushers. By late in the third quarter, Steve Spagnuolo's Rams defense had sufficiently confounded McNabb, making him an ineffective passer for the rest of the game. At the very least, McNabb didn't have his play timing thrown off in the same way Jason Campbell appeared to last year -- the ball still came out when it was designed to -- but in the second half, McNabb clearly wasn't getting into his progressions in any way that would have threatened the Rams defense down the field. The first play of the second half, a 55 yarder to Moss against cover-two, was the last long play of the game for the Redskins offense. From that point, the Redskins managed 31 yards of offense (total yardage minus penalty yardage), final drive non-withstanding. The Rams defense doesn't appear to be a great unit, but it appears to be an adequate NFL defense under Spagnuolo, and if we increased the sample, they would have won as many plays as they lost against the Redskins offense. The bottom line is that there simply wasn't a sustainable talent or scheme advantage that the Redskins could use to exploit the Rams. At the conclusion of this tape, I'm left thinking that the Rams and Redskins will go on to achieve similar success over the rest of the season. That could be good -- both teams could win their respective divisions -- or it could be just two last place teams. There's no way to say for now, but one thing that's clear is that the Redskins didn't leave a bunch of plays on the field due to individual breakdowns. This was a dogfight the whole way, meaning, either the Rams are better than everyone thinks, or the Redskins are really just as bad as they looked. Do the Redskins have a solution to the receiver issue? Ummmm...probably not in-house. Here's the deal, the Redskins use a lot of spread offense concepts, but they run these concepts from pure pro-style sets. Spread offenses excel by using the entire field and making the defense cover every inch of ground. These are the same tenets that the Redskins offense is built on, but the Redskins absolutely love to use a fullback in their offense. We've been a singleback offense for the past six to eight years that made an exception for the unique skills of Mike Sellers. Now we're a two-back offense that plays Sellers on most plays because he plays the position of "fullback" which is the safety blanket of the offense. What that means is that the Redskins play almost no 3 WR sets in normal down and distances. In other words, there is no reason to believe that this offense requires a complement to Santana Moss. About half of the total offense is thrown to either Moss or Cooley. Then based simply on formation preference, and in whatever balance Kyle Shanahan has that week, Mike Sellers and Fred Davis combine for another 5 to 7 targets between them (I imagine the optimal balance is all Davis and no Sellers). So what's left for Galloway/Roydell/Armstrong/Devin? After accounting for the inherent percentage of the offense that becomes forced checkdowns, we're averaging about five targets a game for ALL secondary targets, split pretty equally between Galloway, Williams, and Armstrong. So most of the problem is pure opportunities. We are in need of just one guy who can take ALL of the reps and be consistently productive in a five to seven target per game role. It could theoretically be any of the three, but Galloway has a big problem with his route running. For example, lets's examine the Santana Moss touchdown. The Redskins ran a naked bootleg off a max protect, and ran it into a double corner fire. The run action was bought by all three linebackers, who were taken out of coverage by a beautiful play fake. McNabb's fake even saved his own skin, as frontside corner Ron Bartell blitzed and took an angle to the running back, even after McNabb kept the ball and got outside contain. The playside receiver was Galloway, and the routes called were double deep comeback to the outsides. Both receivers were man to man with safeties. The Redskins had won, this is simple pitch and catch. Only, Galloway simply didn't beat Atogwe: the Rams safety won man to man. Luckily for the Redskins, McNabb reads the whole field, and didn't hesitate to throw the ball to his favorite target. I've been critical of Moss' route running, but it didn't take him much effort to beat James Butler and catch a TD that perhaps only McNabb has the arm to throw. Joey Galloway should have had his first TD as a Redskin, and just did not get it done. McNabb and Moss found a way to hook up on that play. That speaks volumes. Galloway still has his deep speed that the Redskins have utilized on posts because that's where he can contribute to the team, but he's also the least able of all Redskins receivers as a blocker, so he's got to get fewer snaps. I've been impressed by Roydell Williams and would give him a crack at the number two receiver job. Anthony Armstrong has done well in limited time since his drop against Dallas. If he had made the play in that game, he would have established himself as our number two receiver. Right now, he's just a guy. So, what of Devin Thomas? Can he not play with the production we are getting out of the wide receivers? Well, if you grade him on a pure production basis, what we are getting out of Roydell Williams and Anthony Armstrong this season is exactly what Thomas gave us last season (small sample, per play). So Thomas clearly can produce at the levels we expect/are getting of this offense. The biggest issue right now is that Galloway needs to get fewer snaps, because there's untapped talent in all three other guys. I don't know who has the highest upside. I suspect its Armstrong, but that's just a guess based on route running and a complete skill set. If you grade strictly on what is and not what can be, Thomas, Williams, and Armstrong are all about equally proven. They could all be interchangable in this offense, but again, the issue is that the available snaps in the offense are limited becuase the Redskins aren't a three receiver base offense as most in the NFL are. Receiver Stats, this game -Santana Moss, targeted 8 times. 124 receiving yards and a TD on 6 catches with a fumble. 15.5 yards per target. 4 successful catches with two big plays for a 50% success rate. -Chris Cooley, targeted 7 times, 5 for catches, but 3 unsuccesful catches for just a 29% success rate. 53 receiving yards for 7.6 yards per target. One fumble? Kind of? -Roydell Williams, targeted 3 times. One catch for ten yards. Just a 33% success rate. -Fred Davis, targeted 3 times, 3 successful plays for 50 yards of complete offense, which includes a 39 yard pass interference penalty. 16.7 yards per target. -Mike Sellers, targeted twice, both passes complete. One successful, the other lost a yard. 10 receiving yards, which breaks down to 5 yards per target. -Joey Galloway, two incomplete targets with the biggest one on a deep post. It fell incomplete, though there was a good chance to get pass interference called with a more competent officiating crew. -Clinton Portis caught the one pass thrown to him, converting a 2nd and 13 for 14 yards and a first down. -Keiland Williams was targeted three times for 14 yards (4.67 YPT), and was predominantly useful as a receiver in the hurry up. He was targeted once on a critical third and short and ran a fade against MLB Laurinaitis, which was defensed by Laurinaitis. The other two passes were caught, but ultimately meaningless.

| Re: Rams Game Offensive Review Quote:
It's not just the lack of run/pass balance in the second half of games that frustrates me (now three consecutive games), it's the overall lack of balance in the passing game. We run a lot of very low percentage routes when we need to be running down the clock, and we ask McNabb to turn these plays into completions to keep the clock moving. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. I was also frustrated at how he responded to Spagnuolo's ability to confuse McNabb. We didn't throw one screen at them in the second half (WR screens excluded here). We threw one TE screen at them on 3rd down and 8 following a penalty in the first half, which is a frustrating call because he should be able to anticipate that he's not going to be blitzed in that situation, thus, the screen call is ineffective needing as many yards as it did. We get behind in the series by wasting first down plays, particularly in the second half. We don't necessarily need to run in those plays, but it's always 2nd and 10 or worse. I lambasted Jason Garrett for doing exactly the same thing two weeks ago. My primary complaint is that we're asking too much of McNabb to keep the offense on track, when there's 11 years of evidence to suggest that's not his strength as a player (I think he's doing a good job handling the responsibility though).

| Re: Rams Game Offensive Review My biggest thing is that we need to start running the ball more to keep our D off the field. I am confident our offense can score us points when we aren't thrown generally off balance by falling behind by 2 TDs early. But we have to be able to save our D some snaps. We're a better team if our D isn't on the field 75+ time right now. |

The Enchanted Cave 2
Delve into a strange cave with a seemingly endless supply of treasure, strategically choos
4.37 / 5.00 35,305 ViewsGhostbusters B.I.P.
COMPLETE edition of the interactive "choose next panel" comic
4.09 / 5.00 13,229 ViewsIMPORTANT: This is a rather different version of Chapter 2!
The original was released in 2007, but this version was uploaded in 2010. It's basically a 'remake' in many ways, though the plot and events are generally the same.
Unfortunately, your saves from the old version won't work due to the drastic differences behind the scenes, but there are enough differences, I hope, to make replaying worthwhile. Any saves you make in this version can carry over to later chapters properly.
EDIT (21st of August 2010): Sorry, there'd been bugs with this version for a long time! It's because I fixed the bugs on Kongregate and updated the version there, but didn't do so here... Now I have though, so hopefully all problems will be fixed.
Oh, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure you have an appropriate Flash Player version! There's a screen at the start that warns you if your version is outdated. If this screen appears *at all*, then you may (probably will) experience some bizarre saving problems. Updating your Flash Player prevents them.
good story
good story and flow, though some items dissaperin after picked up from boxes
I love the MARDEK series!
I've played it a long time ago, and I'm starting all over again! I love the story... I sorta spoiled myself by accident by researching on the Fig Hunter Wiki, even though I'm not finished with Chapter II. (All because of that **** MORIC!!!) I hope you keep faith and continue to make this not only to Chapter VI but to the originally planned Chapter VIII! 'Cause the story's too awesome to end shortly... I hope you can let me help you with the MARDEK series to make it faster for everybody...
Mardek 3's
is on kongregate which beats this one by a long shot SPOILER: Deugan may or may not die?
I am a big fan of rpg games, like Final Fantasy and Crono Trigger. I like how u use a Final Fantasy fighting style, and add a bit of your own creativity using a reaction system and how you learn from weapons, armor, and acessories. Keep up the good work and keep using your skills to make other awsome games. Just so u know im gonna tell all my friends about this! YOU ROCK!

Interview with Lawrence Weed, MD-- The Father of the Problem-Oriented Medical Record Looks AheadSummer 2009 - Volume 13 Number 3 I first met Lawrence Weed, MD, in 1972 when I was a third-year medical student at the University of Vermont. To this day I remember his passion for a disciplined approach to medical record documentation to optimize the care provided to each individual patient. Now, 35 years later, I was privileged to meet with Dr Weed at his home in Vermont. We discussed when he first was alerted to the nonscientific approach clinicians use to make decisions on patients. The rest of the interview time was spent with Dr Weed teaching me about the solution that he has spent the last 30 years designing and implementing. This interview is published to complement the editorial in the most recent issue of The Permanente Journal (Spring 2009;13[2]:85-7). We believe that in the era of health care reform and quality improvement initiatives, it is important that the medical community take a close look at Dr Weed's total approach decision-making information support defined in this interview. -- Lee Jacobs, MD |

Highway patrol gives toys to needy Sacramento-area children
Local highway patrol officers will donate a dolls, footballs, bicycles and assorted toys Wednesday to help needy children in the greater Sacramento region.
The North Sacramento California Highway Patrol will give the items to the Sacramento Law Enforcement Chaplaincy, an organization comprised of community members who provide support to families during traumatic calls, at 10 a.m. at the CHP's office on 5109 Tyler Street, said officer Chad Hertzell.
"Who better to help us distribute these than those that are on the front lines picking up the pieces,s" he said.
Toys have been donated anonymously to their office over the years, Hertzell said. CHP officers typically will give a toy to children involved in traffic collisions.
Through donations like these, The CHP hopes to highlight a positive side of law enforcement, he said.
"We want to let the community know that we're not just here to write tickets and take people to jail and that we have a vested interest in the community," he said.

Big Star - Nothing Can Hurt Me [Special Pressing] (Omnivore Recordings)
This soundtrack for the upcoming documentary on Big Star plays out like a greatest hits comp (almost), but with entirely new versions. Some come from alternate mixes from the early '70s, while others have been newly remixed for the film.It's that time of the year again, everybody! The best holiday of the year (yes, better than National Ferris Wheel Day AND Leif Erikson Day) has returned. I've been going to Record Store Day since 2009, and even when I didn't look up the releases beforehand, I'd still walk out of my favorite record store (RIP Cutlers in New Haven) with something unique and special. Unique and special is what Record Store Day does incredibly well, and it's why we love it so much. Since its relatively humble beginnings in 2008, the event has grown in popularity every year. So even if you don't get out to record stores much anymore, this is one of those days where you want to try.
Of course the growth in popularity also means there are more and more releases each year to check out, and that can be a little overwhelming. And it's even harder in this, the year of Jack White, because the roster of records is especially great. There are some fascinating new singles from the likes of Pulp and Black Lips and Icky Blossoms, plus a cassette featuring new material from MGMT's upcoming album. There are extravagant reissues like the chess board box-set of GZA's Liquid Swords and a quadruple disc version of the Flaming Lips' Zaireeka (perfect for anyone who owns four record players, I guess). Also look for some fantastic movie soundtracks for Dazed And Confused and Mondo's gorgeous release of the Drive soundtrack. Finally there are some strange outliers like South Park's "Gay Fish" single and one of the most enticing releases this year — a completely covered 7″ listed only as Mystery Release.
But hold on there, because all these are just the honorable mentions to our 10 most anticipated releases for this year's Record Store Day. Some of these are reissues, some are exciting collaborations, and some are bizarre experiments. All of them, however, are worth your time. So take a look at our list, and try not to shove people too hard when you're all fighting over the last copy of that Ringo Starr solo album.

This review is from: Zalman MZ230ED Black 23" 5ms Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 30,000:1 (1000:1) Built-in Speakers
Pros: The price is right. The screen is slim. The monitor weighs very little. Integrated speakers.
Cons: Base is flimsy. Tilt angle is low. Color washes on the blue side of white. Brightness could be better. Proprietary dumb power cord that is really short.
Other Thoughts: The cons aren't really cons because in reality you get what you pay for. I was comparing the montior in a dual monitor setup with a monitor twice the price... (VW246H Asus). I wouldn't EVER use this monitor for graphical editing or gaming but perfect for the casual office user or server terminal.

Christmas Memories – Commericals + Christmas Wish Book
Who else remembers circling toys and their favorite wants for Christmas in the Sears Christmas Wish Book as a child?
Who else remembers circling toys and their favorite wants for Christmas in the Sears Christmas Wish Book as a child?
This is awesome! One of my all-time favorite movies is 'Airplane.' Gotta love the non-stop one-liners. Well, a couple members of the cast have reunited for a commercial for, of all things, the Wisconsin Tourism Agency!
The best Super Bowl commercial may very well be one you never saw.
You might not expect the reason why this woman in Chevy's "Life" commercial is tearing up. But you'll probably do the same by the end of the video.
Want to be proud of the fact that you are American? Well, two American icons -- both folk singer Bob Dylan and car manufacturer Chrysler -- will likely make you feel that way in their 2014 Super Bowl commercial for the Chrysler 200.
It seems like 2014 Super Bowl commercials are the place for '90s sitcoms to reunite. Like the guys of 'Full House,' Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander reprised their 'Seinfeld' roles in a hilarious Super Bowl XLVIII commercial.
Say what you will about the big game proving a disappointment, Jack is back and more exciting than ever with our first look at '24' revival '24: Live Another Day!' London is in chaos, and only the screams of Kiefer Sutherland and a punk rock Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) can save the day, so get your first look at the May premiere right here!
The 'Captain America 2' Super Bowl trailer debuted during the big game and gave us our first full look at the new footage (after star Chris Evans premiered a little glimpse on 'Good Morning America' the other day). And, after watching this new Super Bowl trailer, we're more excited than ever!
U2 has debuted their latest song, 'Invisible,' in a commercial that aired during the 2014 Super Bowl.

Leap Wireless took a little leap of its own Tuesday in making broad changes to its prepaid packages and adding smartphones to its inventory as the company reported a decrease in net subscribers in the second quarter. The change in strategy represents Leap's effort to pursue more high-end customers as it expanded its top-priced tiers and announced a reseller deal with Sprint Nextel to market its Cricket-brand service outside Leap's territory.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

OCR for page 36
The working group has formulated a set of 13 recommendations for
appropriate contact lens use in military aviation. These recommendations
have been formulated to minimize risks associated with contact lens use
while exploiting their military benefits. The recommendations fall into five
groups: restrictions on contact lens use; spectacle use as backup for contact
lens use; lens fitting by qualified specialists; regular follow-up care; and
optimal lens type.
1. To minimize the risk of complications, contact lens use should be held
to a minimum but, when necessary, should be restricted to immediate mission
wear; contact lenses should be regarded as combat gear; not cosmetic gear.
The ocular health of military air personnel represents an essential
resource that must be protected from unnecessary harm. Practices that
represent known risks to this resource such as the wearing of contact
lenses in stressful environments should be avoided unless these practices
are essential to discharging the aviator's military role. This means mini-
mizing contact lens wear as much as possible and not allowing them for
everyday cosmetic use. In other words, contact lenses should be treated as
a piece of military equipment issued for a specified use, not as personal
equipment to be worn at the aviator's discretion.
This recommendation is aimed not only at protecting aviators' prime
asset their sight�but at preserving their ability to use contact lenses as
necessary combat gear in the future. In our experience, the length of time
an individual can be expected to enjoy problem-free contact lens use in a
OCR for page 36
lifetime is not unlimited. For most people, it will total a number of years,
after which the risk of discomfort and more serious complications increases.
The ability to tolerate contact lenses can perhaps be regarded as a
nonrenewable resource�once it is used up, it is gone. If it is used for
nonmilitary purposes such as cosmetic wear, less will remain for legitimate
military uses later on. Ideally, the ability to wear contact lenses to accom-
plish military objectives should span the aviator's entire career, which can
be 20 years or longer. Therefore, judicious use of this resource is essential.
2. Contact lenses should be worn in a flexible e~ctended-wear mode
that allows emended wear of lenses as necessary but mandates spectacle use
whenever possible to allow the eye to recover:
It is clear that the terms dad) wear and extended wear lose their
relevance for military aviation settings. The working group advocates a
policy of reducing wear time to the minimum required to accomplish a
given mission. This will mean extended wear in many cases and shorter-
term wear in other cases. It does not imply using extended-wear lenses in
an extended-wear mode all the time, even though this may be the accepted
practice in a civilian setting. The term peucible eucten~led wear describes this
policy of accommodating the needs of the mission with minimum wear
The practice of flexible emended wear should not be allowed to de-
generate into continuous extended wear without relief. There should be
an attempt to maintain some minimum balance between time in lenses
and time out of lenses. For example, if three weeks of extended wear are
required during a mission, then perhaps three weeks out of lenses should
be required later to compensate. Under optimal conditions, much more
time will be spent without contact lenses Man with them. The attempt
here is both to avoid the greater incidence of acute, mission-threatening
effects associated with extended wear of lenses, as well as to manage the
longer-term toll of lens wear in general.
3. The use of spectacles should be mandated for standard wear; that is,
for all activities except authorued aviation missions.
This is simply the corollary to recommendation 1, and it is only slightly
more restrictive than current military policies governing use of contact
lenses and spectacles. Spectacles have a proven record of safety and
successful use in a variety of tasks. More importantly, they offer equal or
superior visual acuity compared with contact lenses with less risk to the eye
OCR for page 36
CONTACT LENS USE UNDER ADVERSE CON Z)mONS
and are therefore the favored prosthesis when contact lenses do not offer
a specific advantage.
4. Spectacles should be required as a backup for ad contact lens-wearing
aviators and should be kept on their persons during missions, except when
equipment incompatibilities preclude their use.
Spectacles should be available as a backup to contact lenses in case lens
wear must be terminated mid-mission due to lens loss, discomfort, irritation,
foreign body involvement, or other complications. This is standard practice
in the Air Force and should be adopted by all the services.
5. Spectacle acuity should be checked when contact lenses are fitted and
occasional) thereafter so that contact lenses and spectacles match.
Checking spectacle acuity against contact lens acuity will ensure that
aviators can easily move from using one to using the other without untoward
visual effects.
6. The determination of who should wear contact lenses should be made
by qualified ophthalmic specialists.
7. The fitting of contact lenses should be performed on) by qualified
specialists tie., optometrists or-ophthalmologists).
The fit of a contact lens can make the lens comfortable or unbearable,
prone to complications or relatively benign. Lens fitting is an exacting
skill. Without a professional determination of who should wear contact
lenses, followed by a professional fitting, the chances of complications or
less-than-perfect vision resulting from the lenses are greatly increased.
8. After initial fitting, follow-up exams should be conducted quarter) or
as shorts,' thereafter as possible. Without at least an annual exam, the contact
lens wearer should be grounded.
9. Follow-up should be conducted by qualified ophthalmic personnel
10. Follow-up exams must be fully documented, including lens choice,
complications, and reasons for discontinuing contact lens use, and the data
collected at a central location.
Competent follow-up care is as essential to the success of contact lens
wear and the avoidance of complications as is proper fit, especially in the
OCR for page 36
frequent and regular basis if possible complications are to be detected
before they become debilitating. Penalties should apply to those unable to
meet the necessary care schedule.
Information gathered from these exams should form part of a centrally
located data base that can be used to assess the performance of various lens
models or lens care schemes, as well as to critically evaluate the contact lens
program in terms of actual complication rates experienced in the various
aviation settings.
OPIIMAL LENS lYPE
11. Unless medical indicated, rigid lenses (both PMMA and REP
lensesJ should not be used in any of the aviation environments considered due
to their sensitivity to particulate contamination.
While it may be true that military aviators have successfully employed
PMMA and RGP lenses in many cases, we have concluded that, over the
longer term, the use of these lenses in high-particulate environments such
as aircraft cabins poses a higher risk than the use of hydrogel lenses. ~
12. Hydrogel lenses of as low a water content as feasible (60 percent or
less) should be worn in F-A-R and helicopter units.
Hydrogel lenses of as low a water content as possible offer the least
risk in terms of particulate sensitivity, while minimizing the desiccating
effects of low humidity. In a low water content lens, the lens reaches a
steady state more quickly, water loss slows, and the properties of the lens
stabilize. Hydrogel lenses are also most amenable to the concept of flexible
wear, because, with proper fitting, intermittent wear is possible without
adaptation problems.
It should be noted that the working group views the prognosis for the
benign use of contact lenses in helicopter units as poor. Unsanitary field
conditions, possible lens wear beyond safe limits, and a high particulate
level will probably lead to high dropout rates and disability for more than
a few aviators. However, given the stated need for contact lenses on these
missions, extended wear hydrogel lenses are certainly the most appropriate
13. Contact lenses should not be used aboard T-T-B airport because
they offer no clear advantage over spectacles in this environment, except in
certain special cases (e.g. operator of filet loading boom).
The working group sees no overriding advantage to using contact
lenses in anything other than high-performance aircraft and helicopters,
except in special cases. This is not to say that contact lenses cannot be used
OCR for page 36
successfully in the T-T-B environment if a definite advantage to their use
emerges in the future. Contact lens use should be disallowed, however, in
all but essential situations.
As a final comment, the working group notes with dismay that aircraft
systems are not generally designed with ophthalmic considerations in mind.
This is true for everything from heating and air conditioning systems to
chemical protective hoods to sophisticated optical steering and targeting
devices. Retrofitting to accommodate the belated input of the ophthalmic
community seems to be common, but it is rarely satisfactory. The result
is a foreclosing of options, as in the Army's chemical protective hood, for
which spectacle use is impossible and contact lenses are the only remaining
possibility for those needing vision correction.
With the level of refractive errors common today among military
aviators, this approach is clearly counterproductive. Consultation with the
military ophthalmic community in the early phases of hardware design
could reduce incompatibility with ophthalmic needs and increase the range
of options available to cope with vision defects. Although such an approach
might well reduce the military advantages of contact lenses in aviation by
reducing spectacle-incompatible designs, it might also reduce the risks
currently associated with aviation use of contact lenses.

Yup! My biggest issue so far has been knowing when to stand up. Too early and I fidget; too late and I spook. I need more practice. But I'm enjoying it.

Titan is awesome. Same as Vipee just bigger. But since I'm just over 160lbs I didn't need that room. Buddy has that model tho. Hard to beat anything Summit makes.

I have a summit titan as I hate heights and this feels like an apartment hung on a tree. Once you get your first deer with a bow you'll be hooked for life!
Good luck FOF.
wow those look great! i had the oppertunity to eat deer burgers again for the first time in several years this past summer. they were awesome. the guy who made them told me that he would get me some jerky . i have my fingers crossed that he will make it happen! i have been told that before.

"My approach tends to be from experiments. I need the challenge. If I know how to do something well, there's no need to do it all the time because it becomes a little monotonous. So I like to find a challenge."
"Open Drawer" (1998)
"Helen Vendler, an expert on Shakespeare's sonnets, writes about what Shakespeare reveals and what he conceals. I think that art, all art, does that. That's what the artist's role is. You don't always know what you're revealing, and you don't always know what you are concealing, until you get it out there, and then you make your decisions. And there, that's a decision- when I laugh at something. I know I want it to be there. It becomes intent."

Date Night Delights
Sandwich King
Being the Sandwich King is a full-time job, and doesn't always leave Jeff time for romantic moments with his wife, Sarah. So he makes a beeline to see Chef Randy Waidner at Luxbar, a place that's figured out a way to mix the folksiness of sandwiches with the glamour of date night. Call in some classic luxury foods -- steak for mini crostini and fresh lobster on a home-baked hot dog bun -- and Jeff's ready to romance his wife at a candlelit table for two. But don't forget dessert: chocolate sandwiches with strawberries and toasted marshmallow.
Say Cheese!
Sandwich King
Jeff and his son Lorenzo head up to the Mars Cheese Castle in Wisconsin in search of the perfect cheese. With the help of the resident cheesemonger, they taste a staggering array of cheeses and even grill a few up to check their "meltitude" to figure out which ones will accompany them back home. Once back in their kitchen, father and son get slicing as they pile up both adult and kid versions of the venerable cheese steak, and then Jeff melts down a block for cheddar for a classic Wisconsin Beer Cheese Soup.
Comfort Food Classics
Sandwich King
What could be more comforting than that old standby: the Sloppy Joe? Jeff remakes this classic in a healthier, kid-friendly sandwich he calls the Sloppy Lorenzo. Jeff makes over another comfort food classic with his Chicken Pot Pie Sandwich, and rounds out the meal with Parmesan Tots with a side of buttermilk dipping sauce.
From Italy With Love
Sandwich King
Jeff Mauro stops in to see his friends at Conte de Savioa, in the heart of Chicago's Little Italy, to learn the secret of making fresh mozzarella and gain a few other insights for his Italian sandwich fest back home. Once in his own kitchen, Jeff takes some of the creamy fresh cheese he helped make and puts it first on an Italian cold-cut sub and then atop the classic sausage and peppers hero. And even your sweet tooth gets a little relief with Jeff's fun and creative take on the Italian favorite dessert, the cannoli.
Taste Of the South Side
Sandwich King
Jeff celebrates the Southside of Chicago by exploring its regional specialties. He visits Calabria Imports, which invented "The Freddie" the ultimate Southside sandwich and then returns home to put his own signature twist on the iconic sandwich.

It seems that Nikon has had an awful lot of stuff, recently, that should have a lot of people worried.
GoneMirrorless: So the new goal is to make cameras an easy/quick extension for smartphones with seemless integration.
Take better quality selfies and post on social media.
Everyone is right I think. Younger camera buyers are not accustom to using a VF. Just like they prefer tablets to laptops and touch-screens to a mouse, they prefer LCDs to VFs.
I wonder, does it fit in a pocket like the GM1?
bcalkins you're raising your kids right!
What a cool looking little camera!
jkokich: $900 for an entry level body?
Okay, upper entry level, that's what it says, but not enthusiast.
$900 for an entry level body?
David Kinston: I just dusted off my D80. (I have D300, D7000, D750).
All modern cameras are great.
Results are 1% camera - 99% you.
The D750 is a brilliant piece of equipment.
IMO anyone who cannot pick up a D80 and be 99% satisfied is not a photographer - just a pedantic nitpicker and whinger.
I loved my D80! Good on ya for keeping yours!
I've looked at the gallery and the samples, and the shots just aren't impressive.
Those shots on the conclusion page aren't very impressive.
iAPX: I still don't understand how someone could spend so much into a camera and then use a non-calibrated iPhone display on it. Non-sense!
All that money, and I need an iPhone as a viewfinder?
Wow! I want one!
allegretto: Do any of you ever consider just not commenting if it's not for you?
Hey, you won't find on on my shelf either, but every time I come here guys (and gals) are just ripping on stuff they don't have and likely have never even seen.
I mean it's sometimes like watching kids rip wings off grasshoppers.
I know... just don't read comments... right. Well OK but some of you appear quite... angry about life or something and come here to work off some heat
Lighten up... it's just a camera for God's sake
I like you! Awesome post, and well said!
Lotta Cons for a Silver award.
miiicho: 3.15 x 1.65 x 1.06 inches ?
I don't buy it unless it's metric!
You know, it doesn't matter, because we did it 45 years ago, with slide rules.
miiicho: 3.15 x 1.65 x 1.06 inches ?
I don't buy it unless it's metric!
So, let me rephrase: There are two kinds of countries. Those that use the metric system, and those that put men on the moon.
miiicho: 3.15 x 1.65 x 1.06 inches ?
I don't buy it unless it's metric!
You'd think they could put a man up there with all that.
miiicho: 3.15 x 1.65 x 1.06 inches ?
I don't buy it unless it's metric!
D1NO and Giklab: Do you mean Russia and France don't use the metric system, or that they put men on the moon?
Those pictures just don't look good.
miiicho: 3.15 x 1.65 x 1.06 inches ?
I don't buy it unless it's metric!
(Humor alert) There are two types of countries: Those that use the metric system, and those that went to the Moon.
jkokich: Those shots don't really look very impressive.
Thanks, Paul!
Those shots don't really look very impressive.

Tips & Tricks
Manually adding images to Photo Stream
Apple's Photo Stream service does a good job of automatically syncing your latest photos across all your Macs and iOS devices—but what happens when you need ubiquitous access to an older photo? Well, you can manually sync your device and transfer it over, or you can just use Photo Stream to your advantage to send it back out to your devices. To do so, just drag and drop any image or collection of images you want from iPhoto or Aperture on your Mac into your Photo Stream, and viola—all of those photos will now appear in your Photo Stream on your iOS devices, for the next 30 days, at which point they'll "expire" to make room for new memories.
Showing/Hiding the Battery Percentage on iOS
Starting with the iPhone 3GS, Apple's iOS devices have been able to provide users with a (relatively) precise measurement of their battery's remaining charge. Some people like it, some don't, but no matter which way you lean there's an easy way to toggle it on and off. Open the Settings app, tap on General, tap on Usage, and find the switch named Battery Percentage. Set it to your preferred state and you'll never have to worry about it (not) cluttering up your status bar again.
Rotating images from within the Photos app
While the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad generally do a good job of rotating images to their proper orientation, every once in a while an odd grip or shot will confound it, leaving you with some work to do before it's ready to share or archive. Luckily, there's an easy—and built-in—way to fix this. Simply select the photo you need to fix, tap the Edit button, and tap the rotate button—it's the one that looks like an arrow pointing backwards. Do this as many times as necessary to get the look you want, then tap Save. iOS will automatically replace the original image with the new version, and you'll be ready to use it however you please—and should you need to undo your changes, it'll have the original waiting for you.
Saving an image in Safari on iOS
Run across an image you'd like to add to your collection while browsing on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? There's a dead-simple way to save any image you find online to your Camera Roll. Simply tap and hold on the image, and choose Save Image from the menu that pops up. Just don't go posting it on Instagram—after all, no one likes a cheater.
Enabling Caps Lock on iOS
While it's not nice to shout, there are times when the Caps Lock feature of standard keyboards can come in handy—when typing out a list of acronyms, for example. Luckily, Apple made it easy to access this same feature from your iOS virtual keyboard. First, open up the Settings app, tap on General, tap on Keyboard, and make sure that Enable Caps Lock is set to on. Once that's done, all you need to do is double-tap the shift button—it will turn blue to let you know it's enabled, and a single tap is all that's required to shut it off. SEE? SO MUCH BETTER.
Sharing Reminders over iCloud
Have someone you need to share a list of Reminders with? You might not know it from looking at the app, but there's an easy way to do so. Simply fire up your browser, visit iCloud.com, log in, and open up the Calendar app. Over to the left, you'll see a list of your Reminder lists. Just choose which one you'd like to share—a grocery list, for example—and then click the broadcast button (the one on the right). A box will popup allowing you to invite iCloud members to the list, and giving you full control over whether they can simply see the list or edit it, as well.
Forcing an iOS device to Update or Restore
Typically, getting an iOS device to update is as easy as plugging it into your computer and hitting the Update button in iTunes—or even easier if you have an iOS 5 device, as you can handle the update directly from the Settings app. But what if you need to downgrade your OS, or install an Update image that iTunes can't retrieve from the server—such as the just released iOS 6 beta? Doing so is easy. Simply connect your device to your PC or Mac, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed and the necessary update image downloaded, click on your device in the iTunes sidebar, and when the main tab appears, hold the option (on Mac) or shift (on Windows) key in and hit the Update or Restore button, then choose the location of the update image. Click done, and iTunes will begin its normal process of updating or restoring the device's software, no separate download required.
Enabling Closed Captioning on iOS and iTunes
Most folks are familiar with Closed Captioning (CC)—the system for displaying text during a TV or video to help those with hearing disabilities follow along. But the system isn't useful solely to them—if you'd like to watch a movie or TV show silently, for instance. Luckily, there's lots of CC-enabled content available from the iTunes Store, and enabling the service on Apple's devices is fairly simple. In iTunes on a Mac or PC, open up the Preferences, select Playback, and turn on the "Show closed captioning when available" option. On an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, open the Settings app, tap on Video, and turn Closed Captioning on. Last but not least, you can access the same option on the Apple TV by visiting the Settings menu, selecting Audio & Video, and then turning Closed Captioning on. Now you can enjoy your content—and some peace and quiet. [via OS X Daily]
Disabling iOS' built-in YouTube app
Apple has generally done a great job of keeping its built-in iOS apps up to date—with the YouTube app a glaring exception to this rule. Barely updated since its debut on the original iPhone in 2007, it has long since been surpassed by the video sharing giant's own mobile website—yet iOS is still set to open all YouTube videos in the native app. Luckily, there's an easy way to get around this limitation. Simply fire up Settings, tap on General, tap on Restrictions, enable Restrictions if you haven't already, and disallow YouTube. Doing so has the dual benefit of redirecting all YouTube links to the mobile website and hiding the native app on the device, clearing up more space for apps you actually want to use. [via Lifehacker]
Searching the current page in Safari
Most of the time, it's easy to find what you're looking for on a webpage from an iOS device—especially if you're on a mobile-friendly site. For those times when it's not so easy, like when you're searching for a particular passage in a long-form article, Safari offers an easy to do so. Simply tap in the built-in search area and type in what you're looking for. Below the recommended search suggestions you see an area marked "On This Page", with the number of times a certain term is used. Tap on it, and you'll be given a pair of arrows that will let you hop between each appearance of the term; once you're finished, simply tap the Done button to start reading.
Getting a word definition in iOS
Most users of iBooks are familiar with the Define option that appears whenever you select a word — but did you know this trick works all over iOS? In any app that has selectable text, simply highlight the word you'd like defined and tap the Define button. On the iPhone or iPod touch, a definition pane will slide up from the bottom of the screen, while on the iPad, the definition will popup to the side of the word.
Purchasing alert tones on your iOS device
Tired of the built-in alert tones on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad? It's easy to acquire new ones via the built-in iTunes Tone Store. Simply fire up Settings, and click on Sounds (if you're on an iPhone or iPod touch) or General, then Sounds (if you're on an iPad), then select any of the Alert options you'd like to change, such as Ringtone, Text Tone, or New Mail. Scroll up to the top of the screen, and you'll see an option to Buy More Tones, which will launch the iTunes Store and take you to the Tones section.
Alternatively, you can launch the iTunes Store first, then tap the More button, and select Tones (on the iPhone and iPod touch) or tap the Genres button in the upper left-hand corner of the iPad app, and select Tones. At $0.99 a pop, they aren't cheap, but there's a ton to choose from, and it sure beats being the 20th person in the restaurant to check your phone when someone's device starts blaring Marimba.
Quickly scrolling to the top of the screen in iOS
iOS is known for its smooth scrolling, but sometimes all that swiping can be an annoyance when all you really want to is get back to the top of the screen—to access the address bar in Safari, for instance. It appears that Apple planned for this, as iOS has had a simple shortcut built-in since the days of the first iPhone that does precisely that. In nearly any app, you can tap the status bar—where the time lives—to instantly jump back to the top of a list or page, letting you get get where you need to go—no more wasted swipes.
Setting the default Mail address on iOS 5
Find yourself frequently changing the From address when composing a new email in Mail? Perhaps it's time to change your default Mail address. To do so, open the Settings app, tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, scroll down, and tap on Default Account. From the screen that appears, you can select your most oft-used account from every account on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, shaving one step off your new email routine.
Deleting apps based on storage requirements
- April 10, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
With iOS devices becoming ever more capable of creating and downloading content and apps, managing your device's storage has become increasingly important. If you find yourself running out of room on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, there's a simple way to see what apps are using the most storage. Open the Settings app, tap on General, then tap on Usage. At the top of the screen under the Storage header, you'll see a list of your installed apps, sorted by the amount of storage used, with an option to show all apps at the bottom. Using this list, you can discover which apps are the most storage hungry, and simply tap on any app to see more details, along with a button to delete the app, letting you delete only those apps that are adversely affecting your storage and leave the rest on your device.
Changing the departure time in Maps
- April 5, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
No matter how hard you try, sometimes you just aren't able to make the first available train offered to you by the Maps application's transit schedule. Luckily, there's a simple way to adjust the times to allow for a certain departure or arrival time. Once you've done your route search and settled on one you're happy with, tap the clock icon to see the available options, then tap on Depart to bring up a page that will allow you to adjust your departure or arrival time to better fit your schedule. Just note that it's not a time machine, so setting the Arrive By time to two hours ago won't get you there on time. [via CoM | UK Cnet]
Deleting numbers in Calculator for iOS
- March 22, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
Ever in a hurry and enter one too many numbers into the Calculator app for iOS? Instead of clearing the whole number out, use this tip to quickly get rid of the extra digit. Simply swipe your finger across the number display and the app will clear out only the rightmost digit, allowing you to continue on with your calculations without needing to reenter a thing. [via Cult of Mac]
Surviving an Apple launch day lineup
So you didn't get your pre-order placed in time, or just now decided to purchase the new third-gen iPad/iPhone 5/insert future Apple product here. Guess what? You've just sentenced yourself to hours of waiting outside a retail store for your chance to own one—but don't despair. Using these simple tips, your time standing in line will at least be a little more tolerable, if not downright fun.
Quickly accessing the camera in iOS 5.1
Among a handful of other new features and improvements, iOS 5.1 lets users of the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and fourth-generation iPod touch access the camera even more quickly than what was possible under its 5.0 predecessor. To do so, simply press any button to bring up the device's lock screen, then place your finger over the camera icon and slide up—as you do so, the traditional camera interface will appear underneath, giving you near-instant access for more timely shots.
Turning on the Emoji keyboard in iOS 5
The iPhone's lack of Emoji characters used to be a sore spot for some, with complex workarounds required to enable access on Western devices. Now, with iOS 5, accessing your iOS device's built-in Emoji keyboard is a simple as can be. To do so, open the Settings app, tap on General, tap on Keyboard, and tap on International Keyboards. On the next screen, tap on Add New Keyboard and select Emoji from the list. Once that's done, you'll be able to access the full library of Emoji icons from the standard keyboard by tapping the globe icon.
