Digital radio, software defined radio, cognitive radio… higher reliability, more coverage, and increased data capacity. MtronPTI's custom digitally tuned and switched filters prevent IM products in the receiver by cleaning the spectrum before the LNA. Where co-site interference is a problem, higher power filters reduce interfering transmitter broadband noise. See Bandpass Filters for TF series information.
Lumped Element (LC)
MtronPTI lumped element (LC) filters allow true surface mount wash-proof assembly. Solder sealed or laser welded perimeter prevents performance shifts during or after pre and post wash. Hermetic thru hole and connectorized versions are perfect for space and high power applications.
High power LC filters, like the 200 watt 25 MHz lowpass filter, are qualified for harsh environment and mobile applications where immunity to vibration and wide temperature extremes are mission critical.
Evanescent Mode = high power, low loss and small size
Watts to kilowatts / harsh environment / high reliability
100 MHz – 20 GHz
1% - 80% bandwidth
Evanescent mode in the 8906 Link 16 cavity / combline filter yields 300 Wattspeak in a 2.75" x 1.3" x 0.6" sealed package, ideal for airframe or portable applications.
MtronPTI's UF9193 700 MHz dual band reject cavity filter uses a mixed design with TM mode dielectric and TEM coaxial resonators to provide high Q and < 1 MHz bandwidth (0.15%) in a 20% to 30% smaller package than full dielectric puck designs. The UF9193 is temperature compensated and has a fully sealed light-weight die cast housing.
With frequencies to 20 GHz, cavity filters with laser welded packages perform in harsh environments. UF9382 is a 9.9 GHz filter with less than 1.5 dB passband attenuation.
MtronPTI crystal filters are perfect for narrow bandwidth, low distortion, high frequency fundamental operation and also available as matched sets to improve signal to noise performance in mission critical applications.
Very low intermodulation (IM) distortion filters prevent nonlinearities which can confuse receiver demodulation schemes. MtronPTI uses nearly fifty years crystal filter making experience and customized test methods that insure initial technical performance and volume lifetime demands are met.
High frequency fundamental designs offer wider bandwidth and lower insertion loss for data communications applications.
Phase and amplitude matched sets for AESA radar, EW and missile applications – two to eight filters, matched and temperature compensated.
MtronPTI Ceramic Filters offer wide center frequency range, narrow to wide bandwidth and elevated power handling. Ceramic filters can achieve a higher Q than lumped element in a comparable size package.
Custom non-standard low insertion loss designs involving novel cross-coupling schemes fit defense and space applications with unique frequency and contour plans. Hybrid designs with multiple poles, capacitive coupling and integrated LC structures combined with careful tuning and diplexer/multiplexer solutions are available to meet the most complex needs.
Phase and amplitude matched sets for AESA radar, EW and missile applications – two to eight filters, matched and temperature compensated.
MtronPTI Tubular Filters offer very wide stop bands and high rejection through a coaxial architecture with coupled dielectric spacers in a precision machined housing. They are ideal where high power levels and broad stopbands are needed. Available in bandpass and lowpass only.

A fire gutted a house in Clifton at 31 and D Road early Friday morning.
Clifton fire crews say they battled the blaze just before 2:30 a.m.
Crews on scene tell us that the house was built in 1904.
It's not know yet how the fire started, but officials on scene tell us no injuries were reported. It's unknown if anyone was in the home when the fire broke out. But crews tell us that the home owners are living on the property of the home—behind it in a trailer.
The fire is still under investigation.

Leadership Auburn Class of 2013
Climbing the Cables on Yosemite's Half Dome
I have been plotting to climb the cables on Yosemite's Half Dome for about 2 years. About the time permits were required to access the cables, I started entering the lottery to win the permits. I thought this was my year. I entered for 7 different dates and did not win any, but 3 of my friends entered and amazingly, won for the same day, allowing 18 of us to climb together on Monday June 17th, 2013.
Rising nearly 5,000 feet above Yosemite Valley and 8,800 feet above sea level, Half Dome is a Yosemite icon and a great challenge to many hikers. Despite an 1865 report declaring that it was "perfectly inaccessible, being probably the only one of the prominent points about the Yosemite which never has been, and never will be, trodden by human foot," George Anderson reached the summit in 1875, in the process laying the predecessor to today's cable route.
Today, thousands of people reach the summit. For most, it is an exciting, arduous hike; for a few, it becomes more of an adventure than they wanted. Indeed, park rangers assist hundreds of people on the Half Dome trail every summer.
The 16-mile round-trip hike to Half Dome is not for you if you're out of shape or unprepared. You will be gaining elevation (for a total of 4,800 feet) most of your way to the top of Half Dome. Most would say the reward is worth the effort. Along the way, you'll see outstanding views of Vernal and Nevada Falls, Liberty Cap, Half Dome, and–from the shoulder and summit–panoramic views of Yosemite Valley and the High Sierra.
Most hikers take 10 to 12 hours to hike to Half Dome and back; some take longer. If you plan on hiking during the day, it's smart to leave around sunrise (or earlier) we met at Happy Isles at 6am.
The most famous–or infamous–part of the hike is the ascent up the cables. The two metal cables allow hikers to climb the last 400 feet to the summit without rock climbing equipment. Since 1919, relatively few people have fallen and died on the cables. However, injuries are not uncommon for those acting irresponsibly.
Coming down the cables was my favorite part, it felt much like repelling. The hardest part was the trip back to base camp, being already tired from sleeping in a strange bed the night before, getting up early, having not enough coffee, making the climb up 4,800 feet and then back down the countless granite steps is exhausting. I wouldn't trade the experience of making the hike with my husband and sons and friends for many things. The view was truly amazing.
Saying Goodbye to The Garden Guru
I met Mr. Yamasaki 19-years ago when I first worked at AM950 KAHI Radio as the News Director. My morning show partner Dan Songer, truly the Voice of the Foothills, had a local expert in each morning to take calls and talk like like the good friends that everyone seemed to be to Dan. Don Yamasaki was the Garden Guru and Don would call his friend Dan Yamasaki each Wednesday morning. Dan would answer Dan's questions and take callers questions and time would fly by. After Dan left the radio station to retire closer to his daughter and grandchildren in Kentucky, Don Yamasaki began hosting his own show on Saturday mornings with a full hour of the Garden Guru. Don invited his wife Cherrie to co-host and the pair have been local KAHI Radio personalities ever since.
Don began his horticulture education working on his parents plum farm off Kemper road many years ago. Don's dad began growing decorative plants and soon moved the nursery to HWY 49 where it became the Yamasaki Nursery where Don, after returning from Ca-Poly with a Horticulture degree began helping Auburnites make beautiful gardens, fight pests and enjoy there little piece of heaven in the outdoors.
Don is the most humble man but the community needs to know what a kind and generous man he is also. Don prepared every show and gave the best advice and he cares about people. Mr. Yamasaki stopped by the station Tuesday to drop off some gardening books, as gifts, to staff at the station. I had the privilege of getting a horticulture and history lesson from Mr. Yamasaki. I hope you enjoy the message and the sound of the Garden Guru one more time. Don and Cherrie's last show will be this Saturday at 9am June 8, 2013. You still may be able to catch Don shopping at the Saturday morning Farmer's Market or around town running errands and with a chuckle, he will be happy to answer your gardening questions. We will miss you Don Yamasaki.

I really want to tell someone but I'm afraid that when I do I will avoid whoever I tell because I'll be afraid of what they think. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable around me either, just treat me like me. I know it would be different for awhile and there's no way of getting around that, but I'm just afraid. I also wouldn't know exactly who to tell either. My most accepting friend is probably the friend I see the least of because she is so busy all the time and has so many other friends. My closest friend is probably the one that would be the most weirded out by it and I don't feel close enough to any of my other friends to talk to them. I know of only one other gay person at my school (a guy) and I was thinking about talking to him but because I don't know him that well, I'm not sure if I can trust him not to tell any of his friends.
I have also been keeping myself from doing it until I feel comfortable in my body again. I have gotten out of shape and, as shallow as it is, I would like to get back into shape so that when I come out and feel as if people are noticing me more (hopefully they don't), I will at least feel that I look good. I am usually very active, but because I fell into depression for awhile I didn't do much of anything so I feel like I want to take care of myself again and get in shape mentally and physically before I come out. I don't really liked to be noticed, I like to just be an observer in social situations, so I try to "blend in" with what I wear and I don't talk much. So I feel like I need the extra confidence to help me.
I really want to come out to someone though, it would be nice to have an actual conversation with someone about what I feel and maybe sort some things out. I have been confused, but definately liking girls, for almost 5 years now and its getting frustrating having to go over it in my own head all the time with no one to verbally get it out to. I am so glad that I found this site though! It has helped me out so much, just being able to see that other people out there are having the same troubles as me and that these troubles can be solved. So thank you to everyone!
Re: the other gay guy, chances are he's gone through the same problems you are having right now, just like the hundreds of people on this site... So maybe he'll be understanding? First person I told was bisexual, made it a lot easier. And once I told her I was able to tell my mum (in a round about way), and I'm sort of going from there. I haven't told a very close friend, because I've lied to her the most about being straight so it remains very difficult, but I know that it's just a matter of time before she finds out, as I'm being very liberal with what I say around others.
There's also always counsellor people at school or that one really cool teacher everyone likes, they are bound by their workplace rules to keep things confidential.
"If we were to wake up some morning and find that everyone was the same race, creed and color, we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon."
- George Aiken
tell u'r closest friend, i told my extremely straight, extremely homophobic, extremely conservative best friend recently and he took it so well i didn't believe him. if this friend of u'rs is really close to you, and i mean if it's something real and concrete, then your relationship should survive it, but of course every person is different and so is every reaction, don't tell people you don't know if you can trust, i don't know if u live in a small town or not, but in small towns, someone being gay is like the biggest most interesting scandal you could possibly reveal, the entire town will know you (in an unfavourable way). so just be careful!

Floor care professionals, owners and managers of cleaning businesses, and formulators of many of the products used in day-to-day cleaning operations began experiencing a new regulatory landscape Jan. 1. That's when regulators in California, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Maine and Virginia reduced the acceptable level of volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, in a wide range of cleaning and floor care products. The list includes general-purpose cleaners, carpet cleaners, floor polishes and waxes, as well as furniture maintenance and leather care products, upholstery and glass cleaners, and spot removers.
What does this mean to cleaning professionals and owners and managers of cleaning companies? The immediate impact might not be immediately apparent as products on the shelves prior to the New Year may not be affected. However, as these grandfathered products are consumed, the marketplace could experience some noticeable differences. Product performance could be impacted with new formulations. Some products may not be available. And product pricing could change noticeably.
Confusion and Complexity
One likely outcome for the marketplace will be confusion. For example, certain states will regulate carpet and upholstery cleaners and EPA will not. In another case, VOC limits for floor-wax strippers vary among the regulating states. The complexity level will certainly rise for cleaning firms doing business in more than one state because their ability to make bulk product purchases may change.
The new regulations are generally more stringent than the EPA's, and their impact will go well beyond the jurisdictions that implemented them. Formulators will most likely produce products that meet the tightest standards and market them across the country.
Basically, formulators have only three options. First, they can limit the sales of their products to those states that have not adopted the new regulations. Second, they can pull non-compliant products completely off the market. Obviously, both of these options have serious implications for the marketplace. The remaining option, reformulate their products to meet VOC limits, is much more viable.
Ignoring the regulations is absolutely not an option for formulators and manufacturers. Anyone who makes, sells or offers affected products for sale will be held accountable for meeting the new VOC regulations in the nine jurisdictions involved. In some states, fines may be as high as $50,000 per day for each product that fails to meet the new standards.
Cleaner Air
These regulations are a direct result of a growing concern about air quality - including indoor air quality. VOCs react in the air to generate ground-level ozone, a key component of smog. Solvents in products like general-purpose cleaners, paint strippers, cleaning products, polishes and graffiti removers are major sources of VOCs.
California started the trend of state regulations in an effort to deal with smog in its highly populated areas. The other states, also with highly populated areas, are following suit. Given the large population distribution in these states, these changes will have a big impact on many industries beyond cleaning.
The ultimate benefit of this stepped-up oversight is cleaner air - both indoors and outdoors. Among the most obvious beneficiaries of this are the people who actually use the products involved.
The tighter regulations also offer an opportunity for formulators to improve their products using new, cutting-edge solvents, and for end-users to benefit from these new products. Floor care professionals and other end-users should learn from their distributors and formulators how they are planning to improve their products at the same time they deal with the new regulations.

➡ All other tests available for the iPad so far could ONLY assess FAR VISUAL ACUITY because they COULD NOT measure normal visual acuity (20/20 or better) at a distance less than 65 cm or 2 ft (see our HTML widget to learn more: http://acuity.kybervision.com).
Moreover, FAST ACUITY XL follows the logMAR chart design recommended by the National Eye Institute (NEI) and the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) to address design flaws in the Snellen chart still found in most physicians' office. For the optometrists and other vision care specialists we highly recommend our pro version VISUAL ACUITY XL and its free companion app VISUAL ACUITY REMOTE.
★★★ Precise, Fast and Easy to Use ★★★
1) Set precisely the viewing distance between the tested person and the iPad display using the bottom slider,
2) Select the chart acuity range using the vertical slider so the tested person can easily see the top line but not the bottom line (press the + and – buttons for a finer control),
3) Tap the smallest line the person can fully read.
Et voila! The visual acuity is reported with some useful comments.
★★★ Full-Featured Free Vision Test ★★★
– Interactive LogMAR charts in both landscape and portrait modes
– Randomized design to prevent subjects to memorize the test
– Near & Far visual acuity assessments (new iPad with Retina Display required for Near Acuity)
– Gold standard charts (Landolt C, Tumbling E)
– Standard acuity unit: Snellen fraction in foot (20/20 format), or meter (6/6 format)
– 4 or 8 orientations for C and E optotypes
– Custom viewing distance in metric or imperial units up to 8 meters (or 26 feet)
– Optional auto-hiding of interface controls
★★★ Advanced Features Available as In-App Purchases ★★★
Additional features for those with special needs can be purchased individually or through value packs:
- other popular charts (Sloan, HOTV, Snellen, Cyrillic, Kid and Numbers)
- other standard acuity units (decimal, VAR, logMAR, cpd)
- white letter on black background
- confusion bars to test Amblyopia
Version 1.0 (May 12, 2012):
- First released version on AppStore.

FL Dem Ninja 5pts So nice of him to pay all these out of state companies for services. I guess when you raise most of your money out of state it doesn't matter that you don't spend it in state and contribute to the local economy.
tripletail 5pts Thanks for the heads up, I have a direct mail company and will stop in to his Boca office, maybe I will get some of those dollars!
tripletail 5pts Zzzzz, Exactly what is this a crime? we like the guy so we give him money.I doubt you cared that Wexler Lived OUT Of State
Prof. G 5pts Criminal West doesn't know anything about economics or capitalism. He has spent his entire adult life in the U.S. military, which is the purest form of socialism you can find. It's not only cradle to grave socialism, it's pre-cradle to post-grave -- from the time a soldier's wife gets pregnant until well after a veteran dies, the government provides a check for everything. Fine by me, but why can't those citizens who don't sign up to be trained as professional killers get some government assistance? Makes no sense.
FL Dem Ninja 5pts You must be sad they will no longer be serving pink slime at your favorite restaurant anymore. Guess eating that for you is kind of like cannibalism anywho.

2008 Bodegas Luzon "Luzon" Jumilla
(out of stock)
Review Date: 2-15-2011
We received a bottle from a friend as a gift and were unsure whether to bring to share with friends not being familiar with the wine. Needless to say, that means we had to open and enjoy at home and that we did. This is a very likable and drinkable pour; a bit more complex than the average California wine with lots of flavors and spices popping in and out. Great with lamb and fennel at home. We ordered a case right after that!
Price: $6.99

Happy Accidents (aka, HAs)
© David Boyne
Late one sunny morning as I sat under a shade tree at my favorite outdoor café, alternating sips of my second uber-sized coffee with nibbles of my well-toasted onion bagel covered with a schmear of salmon cream cheese and fresh, perfectly peppered slices of tomato, perusing The New York Times and occasionally nudging my sandal-clad foot into my golden retriever who was snoozing on the sidewalk—
—some guy driving past in a cherry red Firebird felt compelled to brake to a hard stop in the middle of the intersection.
He beeped his horn.
I looked up.
He yelled at me, "Hey!"
I yelled back, "Hey!"
He smiled. Then he said, "Don't work too hard!"
And he drove off.
Grinning, sipping my coffee, I recalled when I was growing up, my dad's working-class friends often performed a brief, mysterious ceremony of leave-taking. They told one another: "Don't work too hard!"
I could not help but wonder where my impulsive new friend in the cherry red Firebird was going. Was he going somewhere he wanted to be? With people he enjoyed being with? Was he going to do work that stimulated and satisfied him? Or was he driving away to endure ten hours of numbing monotony in a gray cubicle or a loud factory surrounded by stressed, unhappy people?
After work, would he drive home to a wife whose eyes would brighten at the sight of him? Would a passel of kids leap up and run laughing and screaming to greet him, tumble around him, and try to climb him as if he were their personal jungle gym or oak tree? Or was he on his way to an empty apartment? To a wife who hadn't spoken his name in years—always robotically calling him "Honey"? To kids who acknowledged his presence by grunting, not bothering to pull their vacant gazes away from the tractor-beam of the glowing television?
My close encounter with this kind stranger was a small event. It was perfectly mundane. (*Bound to earth; worldly… Typical of or concerned with the ordinary.) Our meeting was no more than a simple coincidence. (**An accidental sequence of events that appear to have a causal relationship.)
It was also one of the infinite, stunning, complex, awe-inspiring, life-changing events that happen to me and everyone else on this planet, every single minute of every single day. In short, it was a happy accident.
I love happy accidents. I live for happy accidents. A single happy accident has the rejuvenating power to keep me going for days, for weeks—and more than once in my life, a single happy accident has kept me going for years.
Some mornings, only three things are guaranteed to get me out of bed. The urgent need to pee, the urgent need to drink coffee to stop the caffeine-deprivation headache that is keeping me from sleeping more, or the quiet, insistent promise of witnessing—or far better, being party to—a happy accident.
Happy accidents are busting out all over. Pay attention and you will begin to see them going off like silent fireworks all around you. Pay very close attention and you will even begin to hear them. They go snap, crackle, and pop.
I will now attempt a triple entendre! Wait. Wrong essay.
I will now attempt to excerpt a series of Happy Accidents from my own small life!
Here I go: As I was composing this essay, a friend interrupted me, eager to tell me of how he had just been pulled over by a police officer for failure to come to a full stop at a stop sign. Just as the cop was about to write my friend an expensive traffic ticket—an emergency call came over the radio in his police car. "This is your lucky day," the cop told my friend. He got in his patrol car and drove off.
I thanked my friend for sharing his story and asked him to go away, so I could get back to writing about happy accidents. He did, and as I began to write, I realized my friend had just told me about a happy accident. So I began typing furiously, working to add his story to this essay. But Newton, my golden retriever, chose that exact time to place his snout on my knee, whine, and when that failed to keep me from writing, he gently and repeatedly bunked his head into my leg. I gave up on writing. I took him for a walk.
On our walk, just two blocks from home, we came upon a grandfather pulling a red wagon down the sidewalk. His five-year old grandson was riding in the wagon. This caused a crackle of happy memories in me centered on the red wagon I had when I was this boy's age. Even as those memories were going off like soft fireworks in my consciousness, I raised my hand and said, "Hi."
The boy riding in the red wagon raised his hand and said, "Hi."
And I noticed he was wearing a Batman T-shirt. I was transfixed. When I was five, I had a Batman T-shirt exactly like this boy's. I stood there on the sidewalk, a wave of visceral memory passing through me, suddenly a five-year-old again, pulling a Batman T-shirt fresh from the laundry over my head, and experiencing the mysterious flow of benign yet awesome power that Batman T-shirt had imparted to me 41 years ago.
Newton, taking advantage of my distraction, began to pee on a rose bush, stimulating its growth, and causing the woman standing on the front steps of her house to scowl at me.
Two blocks later, while still exploring the catacombs of memory reopened by the sighting of the red wagon and Batman T-shirt, a woman driving past me suddenly pulled to the side of the road, leaned over to the open passenger window of her car and yelled, "Hey! Do you want to get rid of that rotten golden retriever you're stuck with? I'll take him off your hands!"
As other drivers patiently maneuvered around her car, not one of them honking their horn, the woman and I had a brief conversation. She told me of the two goldens she once had, how both had lived long and happy lives, and how much she missed them every day. We parted. I was happy and grinning, but also bruised from having shared her pain and everlasting sorrow of a loss experienced, and from my awareness of the same loss and sorrow waiting in my future. We were friends for a moment, although we will most likely die without speaking to or even seeing one another again.
Done. See? There are a lot (I'm too lazy to count 'em) of Real Life Happy Accidents in the above passage.
I could be wrong, but I believe that happy accident is the mechanism that unfolds the universe. If there truly was a Big Bang, I'm certain it was an accident. Light is a happy accident. Black holes are happy accidents. Baseball is a happy accident. Yeast, and its odd behavior when combined with sugar and hops, is a very happy accident.
Accident moves everything, from atoms, molecules and DNA, right on up to (down to?) the human level.
The thing that makes humans and other mammals different from dung beetles and stucco walls and blooming marigolds is that they are, on varying levels, aware of the coincidence, the accidents, going off all around them—and they can respond to and even build on these accidents.
Still don't believe me? Just stop rushing around and look. When humans or elephants or golden retrievers observe or participate in a happy accident, they might respond by salivating, laughing, crying, grieving, raging, remembering, enjoying, playing, brooding, spending money, and yes—even getting out of bed.
Further, happy accident is such a powerful motive force that humans go out of their way to construct all sorts of Rube Goldberg apparatus for the express purpose of creating happy accidents. What is a horse race, if not an orchestrated production of happy accidents? What is a joke, a punch line, if not a verbal or visual happy accident? What is every story ever told, if not a structured presentation of a particular and unique series of related happy accidents?
Granted, I'm strange. But I'm not the only one to see happy accident as central to life in all its many splendored forms. Both ancient mysticisms and modern scientific theories share the belief that every single action, reaction, and experience by every single animate and inanimate thing, influences every single action, reaction, and experience of every single other animate and inanimate thing.
I remember a day, back in the fourth grade, when one of my teachers talked about some ideas a dead guy named Isaac Newton had come up with and written down. I was shocked—shocked!—when told that an object remained at rest or in motion until acted upon by an outside force, and that every action created an equal and opposite reaction, because I immediately understood the irrefutable validity of these cosmic laws. From experience, I knew that the stone on the side of the road would remain there until I picked it up. From experience, I knew that when I picked it up and threw it, that stone would remain in flight until it ran out of energy and fell into the pond—or was stopped by (***)Brad Carlson's forehead—and that Brad would react to his head stopping the rock by furiously chasing me.
I am now what is commonly referred to as a "grown up." Yet the few times I've tried to gain a deeper understanding of the world and all the things in it than I grasped back in the fourth grade, the effort has made my brain hurt and I've had to crawl into bed and sleep it off.
My understanding of physics is rudimentary, but it serves me well. It allows me, when people far smarter than me assert there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine, to remain quiet, calm, and smugly assured in my superior knowledge.
I know that we are all inside of and part of one Really Big Perpetual Motion Machine.
I even know that the mysterious force that designed and built and continues to power this infinitely huge perpetual motion machine is the same mysterious force that makes me wake up and get out of bed every morning.
Happy Accident.

Khachaturian composed his Toccata in 1932, while he studied composition with Myaskovsky at the Moscow Conservatory. Khachaturian's work shows the blending of local color with the greater "Russian" school, a blend supported by the Soviet ideology on music education. The Toccata is pianistic and brilliant in its use of the piano, while aspects of its melodic and rhythmic material are traceable to Armenian folk music.-
Toccata in Eb-, Op.11Key: Eb-
Year: 1932
Genre: Other Keyboard
Pr. Instrument: Piano
A powerful rhythmic drive establishes itself from the very beginning of the Toccata, which begins Allegro marcatissimo. Khachaturian repeats four-beat rhythmic units (a single measure of 4/4) four times each, accelerating from single quarter notes to a dotted eighth note figure to bundles of sixteenth notes. With each repetition he moves to another harmony, but the rhythm remains insistent, and the melodic material consists almost exclusively of leaps of a fourth and a third. Thus, rhythm becomes the salient feature of the opening section. Sustained block chords break the motion and prove to be part of a transition to a new section that begins first with triplet repeated notes and moves to a swirling triplet figure. Repetition again takes over as leaps of various sizes become the only variable melodic material. After a few harmonic changes and some rapidly descending arpeggios the triplet flourish begins again, eventually crashing to a halt after more descending arpeggios land in the low bass.
The central section, marked Andante espressivo, provides a drastic contrast to the beginning of the piece. Expressive flourishes in the left hand employ modal scales evocative of Armenian folk music. Again, repetitive figures in the right hand dominate the texture, which reduces to a single repeated note as the opening tempo resumes in preparation for the return of section A.
Khachaturian skips the first few measures of the A section and makes a few other alterations during its reprise, but the bulk of the material is there, now fitted with a strong close based on the beginning of slow section.

Fox has purchased the rights to Boom!, a new Israeli game show.
The program debuted earlier this month in Israel. Under the format, four contestants race against the clock to diffuse a bomb by cutting colored wires that hold the answers to trivia questions. Viewers can also play using a smartphone app. If the bomb explodes, the studio set shakes.
The show, from Keshet International, was first sold to a French network earlier this week at the MIPTV conference in Cannes.
Keshet is the creator of the "Rising Star" format picked up last year by a U.S. studio and elsewhere, as well as of the Emmy Award-winning show "Homeland" and "In Treatment."

text: Fifteen minutes later I was sweating through air bursts of cattail down while plowing through a challenging mess of leaves and stems. Despite our best efforts, eight birds had flushed wild and gone to the neighbors. Still, we worked the east edge hard, met in the middle and angled for the northwest corner, chasing four low-flying hens out wild. A thin line of weeds trailed out through clumps of plowed ground, just the kind of unlikely cover with enough appeal to encourage a sneaky rooster to hide. "I'm gonna work that out," I said. It was a 50-yard longshot, but 40 yards into it my efforts were rewarded when a huge, long-spurred cock bird realized his Houdini act didn't sell. Down in a burst of russet feathers he came, and my shooting for the day was over. With experience, one becomes adept at sizing up land and habitats, planning the most efficient routes for concentrating and trapping birds, and repeating them year after year. But farming changes habitat and thus the rules from year to year, particularly today with so much valuable CRP being plowed under in the latest rush toward corn production. The birds will adapt as best they can to new cover, making do with less of it as necessary, dying out where refuge from predators and weather is too slim. Hunters must innovate and compensate, too. Identify good country with a strong spread of nesting grass, a few pockets of deep, wintering cover, and a spattering of mixed croplands. Then scout as early as possible to ascertain pheasant numbers and get hunting permission where needed. Make adjustments as the season progresses and habitat changes due to frost, snow and crop harvests. Plan your daily hunts the evening before with several alternates. Base your approach on time of day and work covers efficiently, always nudging birds toward dense cover where they're likely to hold. After that it's just time, effort and modifying your approaches as conditions warrant, all of which starts with a great plan.

Selena Gomez Spoofs Popular Novel '50 Shades Of Grey' [VIDEO]
We all know about her teen dream boyfriend Justin Bieber, but there's a new man Selena Gomez has her eyes on.

- 1 tablespoon(s) crumbled gorgonzola cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon(s) whole-milk ricotta cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) grated lemon zest
- 10 large pitted green olives, rinsed and thoroughly dried
- 1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup(s) plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
- In a small bowl, mash gorgonzola, ricotta, thyme, and lemon zest with a fork until no lumps of gorgonzola remain. Spoon mixture into a small pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch-round plain tip (or spoon into a plastic 1-quart food storage bag; gather mixture into one corner of the bag and snip off a small opening). Pipe cheese mixture into each olive.
- Put flour and bread-crumbs on separate pieces of waxed paper. Lightly beat egg in a small bowl. Dredge each olive in flour, then coat in egg; remove olive from egg with a fork, letting excess drip off, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat.
- Heat 1-1/2 cups of oil in a heavy-bottomed 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350°F. (If you don't have a thermometer, toss in a cube of bread when you start heating the oil; it will brown in about 3 minutes--when it does, the oil is ready.) Fry olives for 30 to 45 seconds each, until golden brown. Drain olives on paper towels. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Fort Collins students read Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic
Posted By admin On January 30, 2013 @ 11:18 am In Featured Stories,Tile | Comments Disabled

Jan 30, 2013
FORT COLLINS – A Fort Collins principal stands by his decision to allow students from a multicultural group to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in Arabic on the school's intercom.
"We do say the Pledge of Allegiance on Mondays at Rocky Mountain High School," principal Tom Lopez said.
Students have always said it in English. This year, a group with about 30 students approached Lopez with a request to translate and recite the pledge in other languages.
"They had to go through me for approval, and I reviewed it pretty carefully," Lopez said.

Many of us talk, text, even check email while behind the wheel, when we should be focusing our attention to the road ahead, but that's about to change in certain areas as Harlingen.
The city of Harlingen has now approved the "No Cell Phone in School Zones" law that the Texas legislature adopted back in 2009.
"We want people to be less distracted and pay attention to the roads and their surroundings in that area so we can prevent injury." said Sgt. John Parrish of the Harlingen Police Department.
While texting or talking on your cell phone in a school zone will soon be prohibited, there are some exceptions to this new ordinance. If a person is using a hands free device or if they are using their cell phone to make a call to 9-1-1 they will not be ticketed. However, if caught using your phone for any other purpose while driving through an active school zone you will likely be hit with a $200 fine.
Officers will begin ticketing driver who remain on their cell phones in restricted areas just as soon as the city posts the proper signage, that's expected around November 1st.

Osiris.pdf (application/pdf Object) Bible History Online Images and Resources for Biblical History. Syncretism. Syncretism /ˈsɪŋkrətɪzəm/ is the combining of different, often seemingly contradictory beliefs, while melding practices of various schools of thought.
Syncretism involves the merger and analogizing of several originally discrete traditions, especially in the theology and mythology of religion, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to other faiths. Syncretism also occurs commonly in expressions of arts and culture (known as eclecticism) as well as politics (syncretic politics). Nomenclature, orthography, and etymology[edit] The Oxford English Dictionary first attests the word syncretism in English in 1618. It derives from modern Latin syncretismus, drawing on Greek συγκρητισμός (synkretismos), meaning "Cretan federation". The Serpent and the Real Origins of Freemasonry.

A grand statement, but one that I am not alone in making. Westward. We ask :- 1) Did peoples, cultures, languages and ideas migrate predominantly westward around the world in prehistoric and historic times?
2) Is there a probable physical cause for such a westward movement? 3) Given that the cause could be a natural one, and that humans might have existed as civilized beings for much longer than the academics think, is our real social history richer and more complex than the text books say? 4) Can we find reasons for losses ref-01 of history, technology and advanced knowledge?

Modern depiction of the caduceus as the symbol of commerce Hermes Ingenui[1] carrying a winged kerykeion upright in his left hand, Roman copy reflecting an unknown Greek original of the 5th century BCE.
(Museo Pio-Clementino, Rome). By extension of its association with Mercury and Hermes, the caduceus is also a recognized symbol of commerce and negotiation, two realms in which balanced exchange and reciprocity are recognized as ideals.[5][6] This association is ancient, and consistent from the Classical period to modern times.[7] The caduceus is also used as a symbol representing printing, again by extension of the attributes of Mercury (in this case associated with writing and eloquence). The caduceus is often used incorrectly as a symbol of healthcare organisations and medical practice (especially in North America), due to confusion with the traditional medical symbol, the rod of Asclepius, although this has only one snake and is never depicted with wings.
Wadjet. Two images of Wadjet appear on this carved wall in the Hatshepsut Temple at Luxor Wadjet (/ˈwɑːdˌdʒɛt/ or /ˈwædˌdʒɛt/; Egyptian wꜣḏyt, "green one"),[1] known to the Greek world as Uto /ˈjuːtoʊ/ or Buto /ˈbjuːtoʊ/ among other names, was originally the ancient local goddess of the city of Dep (Buto),[2] which became part of the city that the Egyptians named Per-Wadjet, House of Wadjet, and the Greeks called Buto (Desouk now),[3] a city that was an important site in the Predynastic era of Ancient Egypt and the cultural developments of the Paleolithic.
She was said to be the patron and protector of Lower Egypt and upon unification with Upper Egypt, the joint protector and patron of all of Egypt with the "goddess" of Upper Egypt. The image of Wadjet with the sun disk is called the uraeus, and it was the emblem on the crown of the rulers of Lower Egypt. She was also the protector of kings and of women in childbirth.

Uraeus - the cobra. The Uraeus is a symbol for the goddess Wadjet, who was one of the earliest Egyptian deities and who often was depicted as a cobra.
The center of her cult was in Per-Wadjet, later called Buto by the Greeks.[2] She became the patroness of the Nile Delta and the protector of all of Lower Egypt. The pharaohs wore the Uraeus as a head ornament: either with the body of Wadjet atop the head, or as a crown encircling the head; this indicated Wadjet's protection and reinforced the pharaoh's claim over the land. In whatever manner that the Uraeus was displayed upon the pharaoh's head, it was, in effect, part of the pharaoh's crown. The pharaoh was recognized only by wearing the Uraeus, which conveyed legitimacy to the ruler.
There is evidence for this tradition even in the Old Kingdom during the third millennium BCE. Isis. Temple of Isis in Philae, Egypt Isis (Ancient Greek: Ἶσις, original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset") is a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world.
She was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.[1] Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the hawk-headed god of war and protection (although in some traditions Horus's mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children. This myth became very important during the Greco-Roman period. Set or Seth sister/brother to Isis ? ;-/ Set /sɛt/ or Seth (/sɛθ/; also spelled Setesh, Sutekh,[1] Setekh, or Suty) is a god of the desert, storms, disorder, violence and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion.[2] In Ancient Greek, the god's name is given as Sēth (Σήθ).
Set is not, however, a god to be ignored or avoided; he has a positive role where he is employed by Ra on his solar boat to repel the serpent of Chaos Apep.[3] Set had a vital role as a reconciled combatant.[4] He was lord of the red (desert) land where he was the balance to Horus' role as lord of the black (soil) land.[5] In Egyptian mythology, Set is portrayed as the usurper who killed and mutilated his own brother Osiris. Osiris' wife Isis reassembled Osiris' corpse and resurrected him long enough to conceive his son and heir Horus.
Horus sought revenge upon Set, and the myths describe their conflicts. Nephthys - Wikipedia, Sister to Isis. Etymology[edit] Nephthys - Musée du Louvre, Paris, France Nephthys is the Greek form of an epithet (transliterated as Nebet-het, and Nebt-het, from Egyptian hieroglyphs).The origin of the goddess Nephthys is unclear but the literal translation of her name is usually given as "Lady of the House," which has caused some to mistakenly identify her with the notion of a "housewife," or as the primary lady who ruled a domestic household. Hathor - cow goddess"Mistress of the West" Hathor (/ˈhæθɔr/ or /ˈhæθər/;[2] Egyptian: ḥwt-ḥr and from Greek: Άθωρ, "mansion of Horus")[1] is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood.[3] She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt.
Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life.[4] In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth,[4] as well as the patron goddess of miners.[5] The cult of Hathor predates the historic period, and the roots of devotion to her are therefore difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults which venerated fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows.[6] Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Horus - the Falcon Son of Isis. Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history and these are treated as distinct gods by Egypt specialists.[1] These various forms may possibly be different perceptions of the same multi-layered deity in which certain attributes or syncretic relationships are emphasized, not necessarily in opposition but complementary to one another, consistent with how the Ancient Egyptians viewed the multiple facets of reality.[2] He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine, or as a man with a falcon head.[3]
Osiris - Brother and Husband of Isis. Osiris (/oʊˈsaɪərɨs/; also Usiris), is an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail.
Osiris is first attested in the middle of the Fifth dynasty of Egypt, although it is likely that he was worshipped much earlier;[4] the term Khenti-Amentiu dates to at least the first dynasty, also as a pharaonic title. Most information available on the myths of Osiris is derived from allusions contained in the Pyramid Texts at the end of the Fifth Dynasty, later New Kingdom source documents such as the Shabaka Stone and the Contending of Horus and Seth, and much later, in narrative style from the writings of Greek authors including Plutarch[5] and Diodorus Siculus.[6]
Geb - Father of Isis ( Earth ) Name[edit] The name was pronounced as such from the Greek period onward and was formerly erroneously read as Seb[1] or as Keb. The original Egyptian was perhaps "Gebeb"/"Kebeb". It was spelled with either initial -g- (all periods), or with -k-point (gj). Evohé, Isis! Nut (goddess) - mother of Isis. Goddess nut sky goddess.

19-year-old spends 2,000 hours creating massive video game mod as part of a job application
Posted By Enrique Manalang On July 30, 2013 @ 6:50 AM In General Tech | 4 Comments
Bethesda Game Studios is known for making some massive games. From Fallout 3 to the most recent Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim, the developer's pedigree for making large, living worlds in video games is unquestioned. So when Alexander J. Velicky decided to submit an application to work at Bethesda, he created an epic mod that should make the developers (or anyone) proud.
Velicky's Skyrim mod, Falskaar, is huge. The landmass that it adds is 1/3 of the original game's environment, which is also huge. It also adds over 20 hours of content to the game, including: new characters, quests, music, and items. And speaking of characters, they're all voiced by by a cast of 30 semi-professional and professional voice actors.
At 19, Velicky shows that he already has a pretty good understanding of how to get into the video game industry:
"The best way to show Bethesda Game Studios that I want a job there and should be hired is to create content that meets the standards of their incredible development team."
If you're interested in installing Falskaar, you can download it at the link below.

So far this year Toyota have scored a third place and two seconds. Could this weekends Monaco Grand see the Japanese team take that elusive maiden win? We take a look at why, with Jarno Trulli in the cockpit, the answer may just be yes
For Jarno Trulli there are certain to be strong emotions as he lines up on the grid for his first Monaco Grand Prix since he took his maiden victory here last year.
It was a win made all the more remarkable by the Ferrari redwash of the season that was already well underway - with Michael Schumacher having taken victory in the first five races of the year. Yet at Monaco, Trullis remarkable pace in the Renault was apparent for all to see, taking a commanding pole position as Schumacher was left only fourth on the grid.
But Monacos chequered flag was also where Trullis 2004 season started to unravel. His pace and consistency suffered as the year went on and he fell out publicly with Renault boss Flavio Briatore. Trulli even suffered the indignity of being replaced for the closing races by Jacques Villeneuve, before compatriot Giancarlo Fisichella went on to claim his Renault seat for 2005.
But with a new team, Toyota, plus new-found confidence the Italian ace will be returning to Monte Carlo with high hopes for a second victory. It could well happen -
Trulli has already demonstrated that hes exactly the sort of driver who, in the past, has come to dominate the unique demands of the race at Monaco.
He should certainly find he has the machinery for the task in hand. The Toyota TF105 has already proved to have impressive pace this season, and Monaco is a circuit where driver skill carries a substantial premium over raw horsepower or the sort of aerodynamic tweaks that dominate at higher speed races.
And Trullis developing maturity is also making itself increasingly obvious on-track: hes currently second in the drivers championship after his gutsy, determined drive from 5th on the grid to a well-deserved third-place at Barcelona a fortnight ago.
Trullis ultra-precise performance at Monaco last year has also persuaded many that hes got the measure of the notoriously demanding track. The twisty street circuit puts a real premium on a drivers accuracy and feel - far more so than his commitment, bravado or even raw car control.
It rewards one-lap specialists (and has even been described as 78 single laps back-to-back). Ayrton Senna, statistically still the greatest qualifying driver of all time, won here no fewer than six times during his career. The only current driver to have made the circuit his own is Michael Schumacher, whose tally of victories here currently stands at five - but if the Ferrari F2005 proves to be off the pace again then Trulli may well find himself the favourite.
All the ingredients are in place for a Toyota win - what can Trulli make of them?

I like this better than glosswater one. Less greasy, can be too dry if your skin lack moisture. Great for summer! I compared all of their foundation on my hand, this is the only one that doesn't get set into the fine lines. Not even on the lines on hands, definitely wont see them on the face! Liking it so far. C3 matches my skin perfectly... my friends didn't know I wore foundation, yet able to cover some imperfections! Luv it.
UPdate: This is similar to LM silk creme, but less greasy. I use LM for drier day and IPSA real skin for humid days.

Game day is exciting and fun for everyone but for the Sea Gals it is also an early morning start and a long day filled with hard work.
The week leading up to a game is usually two nights of hard review and setting the final lines. If a Sea Gal is unable to perform in the game there are many changes that must be made in the lines, formations, roll off numbers, etc.
Game Day Preparation |
Like the Seahawks, the Sea Gals also have gameday rituals to get them prepared to perform for the 12th MAN. MELISSA ALEXA CASSIE STEPHANIE RH |
The pre-game dance, quarter change dances and two minute warnings are preset and rehearsed, however all sideline dances are random and without warning. Sea Gals must memorize and recognize the song, the intro, the dance, and the ending of about 15 songs each game. I construct a "game list" which lists out all performances, the random song list, report time, practice schedule, pre-game working assignments and attire for that game.
The Sea Gals report to the Sea Gals locker room at CenturyLink Field four hours before the game. They have a few minutes to drop everything in their dressing area and head out to the field for squad stretches. We spend about thirty minutes on sideline walkthrough within the individual squads (there are four squads, one in each corner). Next we review the pregame dance, this dance is the Sea Gals entrance onto the field and it means kickoff is near!
After rehearsing pregame we move onto the feature dances (the bigger dances performed in the end zones). We usually finish up the field rehearsal in about two hours and just in time to get off the field before gates open.
Sea Gals head into the locker room and get ready to go to work. We have two makeup artists and two hair stylists (Gene Juarez Advanced Training Salon) who quickly go to work on the gals. Within an hour or less the Sea Gals are in uniform with every lash and hair in place! Now it is time to head out and meet the greatest fans in the NFL.
The Sea Gals are paired up to work seven locations in the stadium as they greet fans, sell and sign calendars. Naturally they have police escorts with them. The remainder of the team prepares to perform for the fans that are enjoying the huge tailgate festivities, Touchdown City, in the CenturyLink Field Event Center. This performance is on the main stage about one hour before kickoff.
The Sea Gals must be back in the locker room thirty minutes before kickoff for a final touch up and a last minute stretch. The squad lines up and we check for every string, hair, and the most important lip color before heading out to the Northeast tunnel where the Sea Gals make their first appearance of the game. This is the moment we have been preparing for since mid-May. Go Sea Gals!

Hidden sanctuary
A tiny secluded cove surrounded by rocky cliffs and lush green foliage. Park yourself on a sun bed, settle on the sand or get explorative and swim and snorkel around the rocky bay to check out hidden underwater caves. The water's edge at S'Estanyol is made up of hard pebbles, so use the long plank leading in to avoid hurting your feet. Once you're in, it's crystal clear and always the perfect temperature.
Location: Just a ten-minute drive from Ibiza town, and yet worlds away…
Who goes there: S'Estanyol is secluded, making it popular with visiting celebrities and island locals alike. It's also a post-party haunt for underground clubbing types who revel in the bay's tranquility 'the morning after the night before'.
When to go: When all other beaches are swamped, S'Estanyol is a great alternative, due to its off the beaten track location. Late afternoons are best, when there's plenty of shade beneath the trees but sun hitting the sand and water – the best of both worlds.
White Ibiza loves: The special – and often secret – events that take place on S'Estanyol throughout summer. From Cocoon after parties to OTT Swedish House Mafia extravaganzas and laidback live concerts by Groove Armada, anything is possible in this amazing location.
Sienna Bloom Lalita Necklace
The perfect accessory to team with a bikini and kaftan before hitting the bar for cocktails – evoking the true Ibiza hippy spirit and boho-babe style.
How to get there:
Drive through the town of Jesus until you see the words S'Estanyol hand painted on a rock on the left. Drive up the winding road until you spot a blue rock on the right, with the word PK2 painted on it.Take this right hand turn and follow the steep incline down the hill – at the very end you find the carpark.
From Ibiza Town: 10-minute drive. From San Antonio: 30-minute drive.

Can A Man And A Woman Be Just Friends? Not Until They've Had Sex At Least Once
January 17, 2011
Ben Delicious writes from London: For all of you out there who are always saying that they would want to know who was behind President John Kennedy's assassination here is the answer: it was the mob, OK? The mobsters helped him win the election but then felt that he didn't live up to their expectations. It's that simple. Now get over it.
With that out of the way let's now deal with that eternal question: can a man and a woman be just friends, if they are not impotent and frigid that is? The answer is: no, they can't. Technically a woman can last as a friend with a man for a while, but there's no chance that a man would not start thinking of getting his female friend into bed, one way or another, pretty soon in the friendship. I don't buy all that rubbish about man/woman friendships. As long as they have differently structured private parts, with one possessing a pair of breasts on top of other differences, it'll always going to be on the edge, with both sides feeling rather awkward carrying on without some sexual intercourse involved. That's how it was meant to be in the big master plan of creation. Men and women were created not just physically and mentally different, but sexual intercourse was thrown in to get them interested in each other and not pleasure themselves with wild beasts or other creatures.
The thing is, that contrary to what they say, women do get upset when men don't show any feelings towards them. They like to be appreciated and sought after, if I can use this phrase in this case. And men feel the pressure as well, thinking that women would get upset if they show no desire to shag them silly. So all that talk about mutual respect, in non-sexual way, between a man and a woman is pure bollocks. Feminists like to talk about it a lot, but feminists have no idea about real life and live on some planet where stupidity is obligatory.
But it's a totally different thing if a man and a woman have had their fun and then stay on friendly terms. Yep, it's a different set up altogether. Although it's not widespread, it still happens. With lust out of the way, a man and a woman can treat each other as friends and even discuss sex with others and share tips about relationships generally. Both sides feel no pressure anymore and can be open and sincere with each other. They stop lying and pretending and say it like it is. Their privates are no longer receiving any signals from the brain and are used for passing water only.
In certain cases men and women can be so revolting that any idea of sexual intercourse between them would send shudders down their spines and other places. But can revolting people stay friends for a long period of time? I doubt it. So it doesn't really interfere with my line of thinking.
Another dimension to this issue is whether women can be friends with gay men. The accepted thinking in this case is that gay men make great girlfriends for women, but I doubt it personally because women feel the pressure of knowing that this guy would never be interested in them as women, so the friendship is bound to fade away quite quickly.
Before I leave you to ponder on this and many other issues I just want to remind you that reading sex manuals and watching all those DVDs with advice on how to improve your sex life would not help you in the slightest and may even turn you off sex for good. And another thing, this time for men only: once you get hooked on Viagra, you risk becoming totally impotent in about 5 to 6 years.
