There's a news entry and a list of changes in the official Cinelerra page:
Phoronix: Cinelerra 4.2 Video Editor Released
While OpenShot and PiTiVi are the two currently most talked about open-source non-linear video editing systems for Linux, that's not all there is out there. There's also Kdenlive, Kino, an open-source Lightworks is coming soon, and then perhaps the most advanced open-source video editor of them all: Cinelerra...
There's a news entry and a list of changes in the official Cinelerra page:
I hope they fixed lots of bugs. Cinelerra is in desperate need of a lot of bug fixing. It's by far the most unstable software I ever used.
Christopher Montgomery made his fixes too. See
I hope they merged these to the main project.
When it doesn't crash, it's a great video editor.. You just gotta know what not to do and which video input formats you should avoid. And save often. Good to know new versions that target stability are still coming out.
Please, can you share what things you have found that shouldnt be done and what video formats are the best? So far I have just managed to create a simple title. all my attempts to load videos, insert transitions or something usually ends with a crash.
After many failed attempts in the past, I tried Cinelerra one more time...and it's a real beast of an editor. Previously, I couldn't get almost anything to work. Constant crashes, horrible performance, bugs everywhere and my own ignorance of the interface teamed up against me. This time I made a serious effort and [gasp!] I even read the fine manual and an assortment of tutorials I found on the web.Originally Posted by rogerdv
The first thing I recommend is compiling it from source. Debian packages from the multimedia repository just didn't work here. 4.1 binaries were buggy; you could load stuff on the timeline and have a go at the program, but not for too long. The 4.2 ones are simply broken, with GUI elements missing, imposibility to render anything, timeline operations don't work, and so on and so forth. So I compiled 4.2-cv and now everything it's cool. Not only it performs acceptable with this (very) limited system, but it seems quite stable so far.
The other thing is to feed it with material it likes, as oyvind said. DV is one of the well supported formats, but there's no need for it. Just remuxing your stuff to mp4 or mov should work unless you have some weird codec. But to get to this stage you have to have a good binary, which in my case it meant compiling the source.
http://cinelerra.org/ git repository only contains 2.1CV (see e.g. Settings => Preferences => About or the console output).
The 4.2 version only seems to be available as a non-CV version from here:

Progress Report: Single-Site Device for Insulin Infusion, CGM Sensing
What if (finally?) you could wear an insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and the two connected to your body in only one place, with no need for two separate infusion sites?
Sounds pretty appealing, doesn't it?
Well, research on this long-awaited dream is of course ongoing and incremental, but the good news is there are at least six players actively pursuing it -- including three in the Big Pharma sphere. We've kept our…

CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference
One Cause. One Voice.
Plan to attend the nation's capital for the 2014 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) to Unite for Good.
Rally for the powerful credit union cause and connect with leaders from across the United States.
CUNA GAC is the biggest week of the year for credit unions. More than 4,000 credit union people come together to:
• Hear from influential legislators, policymakers and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions
• Identify new strategies for building and maintaining America's awareness and trust
• Network with credit union leaders
• Attend breakout sessions on the hottest issues in the movement
• Tour the largest vendor showcase in the financial services industry
• Tell Congress our story at state Hike the Hill visits
Please wait for word from Kelly Fuhlbrigge for registration information!
This past year, CUNA and the leagues launched a shared strategic vision for credit unions nationwide: Americans choose credit unions as their best financial partner.
To make our vision a reality, we must come together to remove barriers – like the threat to the credit union tax status – create awareness and foster service excellence. We all need to Unite for Good.
We have an opportunity to accomplish a lot for the movement this year, and need your involvement to make it happen. Come to Washington, D.C. to tell our shared story and protect the credit union difference.

Premier Wine Tasting Event!
Date: Friday, October 17th Time: 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Place: Mohegan Sun Dress: Black Tie/Cocktail Party

Due to a major vote happening in Washington D.C., this event will be rescheduled.
The fundraiser for Senator Murphy that was scheduled to take place this Friday, January 9 in Hartford has been postponed. The League is working to reschedule the fundraiser in February.
Join us in Washington D.C. March 8-12, 2015 for the 2015 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) to Unite for Good.

CUNA GAC. Powerful Cause. Positive Effect. We've hit the 100 million mark. Now let's keep the momentum growing at GAC.
One hundred million credit union memberships is a significant milestone. It's proof that Americans value the credit union difference. It reinforces that Americans want financial service alternatives that offer real choices and put them first. It's time to celebrate—and time to leverage the opportunity.
Let's do both at this year's CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.

Keynote Speaker:
Jim Nussle, President/CEO, Credit Union National Association
Jim Nussle was named president and CEO of the Credit Union National Association in September 2014. Nussle, is a former eight-term congressman and director of the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
CUNA is the largest and most influential national financial services trade association advocating for America's credit unions. There are nearly 6,700 credit unions nationwide, with over 100 million members and almost $1.1 trillion in assets.
Nussle has long admired the grass roots advocacy strength of the credit union movement. In Congress, he witnessed firsthand the enthusiastic advocacy the leaders and members of the nation's nearly 7,000 credit unions have.
Nussle served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991-2007 as a Republican representative from the State of Iowa. From 2001-2006, he served as chairman of the House Budget Committee, a key panel that oversees the federal budget process, including review of all bills and resolutions on the budget. In addition he was a member of the House leadership and served on the Banking and Ways and Means Committees.
In 2007, President Bush tapped him as the 36th director of OMB, the largest office within the Executive Office of the President of the United States. As OMB director, he was a member of the president's cabinet.
Nussle also served on the founding board of Growth Energy, a trade association of renewable energy companies and industry partners. He was recruited by his fellow board members in 2010 to help lead the organization as its President and COO. During his tenure, Growth Energy nearly doubled its revenue, increased membership by 18% to become the largest renewable energy association, and successfully navigated several regulatory and legislative challenges.
In his early career, Nussle served his community for four years as a first responder and firefighter with the Manchester Volunteer Fire Department. He also spent four years as the Delaware County Attorney, the chief prosecutor and civil attorney for the jurisdiction and established his own law practice. Nussle also serves as a director on the boards of Thrivent Mutual Funds, PRA Group Inc., and as a special advisor on the advisory board of AVISTA Capital Partners.
In addition, he volunteers his time with The National Down Syndrome Society and as President of Epiphany Lutheran Church Congregational Council, where you can often find him "sitting in" playing guitar in the praise band for Sunday services.
A native Iowan, Nussle received a degree in political science from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and his law degree from Drake University in Des Moines. Nussle and his wife, Karen live in Virginia, and have two adult children.

Strange and unnerving promotional film for the tranquilliser
Between 1943 and 1945, with the help of Warner Bros.' finest, the U.S. Army produced a series of 27 propaganda cartoons depicting the calamitous adventures of Private Snafu. Mark David Kaufman explores the overarching theme of containment and how one film inadvertently let slip one of the war's greatest secrets.

Not many people will remember Morris was finicky. I guess they are giving something to the older generation while setting up a new cat clone for the new generations. Poor Morris himself is long dead.

This article talks about 4 brands that have become extremely successful without the use of traditional advertising. These 4 brands are Krispy Kreme, Costco, Sriracha, and GoPro. If you think about it, you never see commercials or ads for these products. They have succeeded solely because they are high quality products that rely on word of mouth to spread awareness

Plus you got Tomb Raider and Bioshock Inf. that just came out ... Trying to get Tomb Raider to Wine as we speak I have little hope of Bioshock working... Oh well when you get the games for free.
1. the novelty worn off
2. only people with nvidia cards are able to properly play games (bla bla bla stfu, everyone knows amd and intel perf suck in linux)
3. windows users who just wanted to get the penguin for free
4. old old old games, I mean OLD games that I played when I was a kid, cs etc
My Steam list in Linux is very short compared to my Windows list... I've bought a lot of Linux-friendly indie games in the bundle sales - but the replay value is lower compared to the likes of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or the Half-Life 2 series... qed
I would fire up Steam under Linux if I could play Black Mesa Source and HL2 (+episodes), etc.
I've got a radeon 6850 w/ r600g on a phenom II x6 1055t, and TF2 runs just fine on my machine (at 1920x1200). Most of the other games I've got installed are less demanding than that. But then, the most graphically intensive games I own are GS:GO, BF:BC2, Borderlands 1, or GRID. I have a suspicion that half of those games would perform acceptably if released in Linux w/ OpenGL.
My biggest problem at the moment is actually Skype. I get some nasty audio distortion on my system when I use Skype for voice chat, which prevents me from using it during my TF2 sessions.
The top shelf games they are porting are mostly old titles that the essence has all but dried up in. New games should be new releases.
The problem is game developers need solid standards for graphics and sound. You either do this with wrappers, or the distributors need to concrete standard in with modern able drivers and routines. Ubuntu's Mir maybe the preferred choice for developers coming from other platforms.
r600g is a pretty good driver.
I think these linux numbers just reflect that many of the games that folks want to play havent been ported yet. In addition alot of the rounding is to 0.00% which counts as nothing. Even so it couldn't be more than a quarter percent off tho, so not a real big deal.

7870 and 6550 both play all the games I own for steam flawless.
My Nvidia card (GT 520) plays without problems as well.
I think most people say the Linux driver situation is bad because they think about times passed.

Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Newest reported 1994 Volvo 960 problems
Abnormal Noise From Front Suspension Due to Worn Control Arm Bushings
The front control arm bushings wear out, resulting in alignment issues and squeaking and/or knocking noises from the front end. Worn bushings will require replacement.
"No Start" and Check Engine Light Due to Gear Position Sensor Failure
The gear position sensor on the transmission may fail, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and/or a no start condition.
"No start" and Check Engine Light Due to Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Failure
The engine will crank over but will not start. The Check Engine Light is on and/or there is a diagnostic code for the engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT). This may be caused by a faulty sensor (located at the back of the cylinder head).
Knocking Noise From Front Suspension
The sway bar bushings commonly wear out, causing a knocking noise from the front of the vehicle. Replacing the worn bushings should correct this concern.
Vibration from rear brake rotors are common
Vibration problems from the rear brake rotors are common and require replacement of the pads and rotors, and the installation of special shims. The symptoms often occur when the brakes are used heavily from repeated braking, braking from high speeds, and braking while going downhill. The entire vehicle can vibrate and shudder, like it is being driven over train tracks.
Intake manifold gaskets can develop engine vacuum leaks
The intake manifold gasket will often be a source of vacuum leaks. This will cause a rough idle and the Check Engine Light will illuminate. Replacement of the gasket is required to resolve this issue.

Water Tanks
Camel water tanks are manufactured to the highest quality specifications in our Australian factory. Our water tanks have been designed specifically to withstand the harshest off road conditions underneath camper trailers and caravans. The tank has 6 secure mounting points eliminating the need for straps and other fabricated holding devices. Camel water tanks have approximately 10mm wall thickness, ensuring maximum strength and the tank is manufactured from food grade low density Polyethylene that has very high impact resistance.
The tank has a baffle preventing water slush and also gives additional structural strength as illustrated in this photo. The tank has a filler, breather and pump connection situated on top of the tank preventing damage from rocks and stones underneath the trailer. A drain is situated on the bottom side of the tank as illustrated.

The only difference between such types is their design, which means that you need to select the option that matches your décor the best.
The next detail to pay attention to is the capacity of the lighting fixture and the type of light bulb. Modern lights can come equipped with the following light bulbs: fluorescent, LED, incandescent, halogen and CFL. LED and CFL are the most efficient and energy-saving light bulbs on the market that offer a durable, reliable operation. Selecting track lighting fixtures with such light bulbs will help you save money in the long run.
Finally, after all of the details are taken into account, pay attention to the flexibility of the fixture that you are about to purchase. In order to create a lighting ambiance of your dreams you will need to be able to direct the light beam coming from the fixture. This can only be done if the lamp has an adjustable head and is properly mounted. Read the description of the lamps and see that they comply with your requirements.
The questions that are listed below will make the process of selecting a flexible track light easier.
What are the benefits of installing track lighting in a building?
Flexibility of such fixtures is the main benefit that they can offer. Being able to control the light's direction will help you in creating the ambiance that you always dreamed of. In addition to that, track lighting fixtures consume less energy than conventional lamps thus helping you save money.
Is it safe to use track lighting in a residential building?
When a flexible track light is mounted in compliance with safety standards, there's nothing to worry about. Unlike 10 or 20 years ago, today such fixtures are widely used in kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, living rooms and even bathrooms. Flexible lighting fixtures give you the freedom of decorating the space with beams instead of usual materials.

text: Suggested Applications Watercolors: Make a sketch, sprinkle it with water and allow the colours to dilute. Pick up colours from a palette and paint in wet as watercolor. Apply Neocolor II onto smooth paper and spread it onto the design with a stiff brush. Bold painting: Create a large design on dry paper. Spread the colours vigorously with wet fingers. Wash and varnish: Hold the pastel flat and draw on moistened paper. Colour the design with a brush full of Neoclor II. Cover the dry layers with a transparent layer. Rainbow techniques: Pick up the graded colours from a smooth palette and place the brush flat on the paper. Template: Apply Neocolor II on a template or on the edge of sheets of smooth paper. Spread the colour onto the design with the fingers. Monotype: Draw with Neocolor II on a mirror or any flat glass surface. Cover the design with moist paper, press it down firmly then peel it off. Neocolor II washes off any smooth surface with water.

*safer as in journaled or CoW (or something) to get the data back when errors knock the fs out of whack.
*safer as in journaled or CoW (or something) to get the data back when errors knock the fs out of whack.
Trust me, the one thing reiser4 is really good at is compressing zeroes.
In fact, for a random-write workload, CoW is pretty much the ideal file system layout, because it turns random writes into sequential ones.
" real-world benchmarks " == oxymoron
I, and anyone ithink, will agree using zeros is not 'real-world' of course but nevertheless it is a baseline, which ithink is what the author/tester was aiming to get(despite the tests being run on unstable kernel, unstable btrfs and ext4( with, IMO, dubious stability ).
Maybe the compression test(s), at least, could be better. It would be, ithink, more constructive to suggest how to achieve something closer to end-user(desktop & server) usage rather than waste BW discussing effectively dead or old fs that have neither journal or CoW safety nets.
I'm Chris Mason, one of the btrfs developers. Thanks for taking the time to benchmark these filesystems!
Someone forwarded me the iozone parameters used, and it looks like they have iozone doing 1K writes, which is less than the linux page size (4k on x86,x86-64 systems).
One way that btrfs is different from most other filesystems is that we never change pages while data is being written to the disk. When the application is doing 1k writes, each page is modified 4 times.
If the kernel decides to write the page somewhere in the middle of those four writes, ext4 will just change the page while it is being written. This happens often as the kernel tries to find free pages by writing dirty pages.
Btrfs will wait for the write to complete, and then because btrfs does copy on write, it will allocate a new block for the new write and write to the new location. This means that we are slow because we're waiting for writes and we're slow because we fragment the file more.
On my test machine switching from 1k writes to 4k writes increases btrfs write tput from 72MB/s to 85MB/s.
Numbers from another tester, all btrfs:
iozone -r1 (1k writes) 20MB/s
iozone -r4 (4k writes) 64MB/s
iozone -r64 (64k writes) 84MB/s
In practice, most people doing streaming writes like this use much larger buffer sizes (1MB or more). They often also use O_DIRECT.
[QUOTE=sektion31;108954]oh thanks for clarification. i read that reiser4 and btrfs are more similar to each other than to ext3/4. so i assumed they have a similar design idea.
Just to clarify, the big thing that I took from reiserfs (actually reiserv3, which was the one I worked on) was the idea of key/item storage. The btrfs btree uses a very similar key structure to order the items in the btree.
This is different from ext* which tend to have specialized block formats for different types of metadata. Btrfs just tosses things into a btree and lets it index it for searching.
Hi Chris,
I'm Ric, one of the users excited about the btrfs fs(as geeky as that is).
Thank you for taking the time for development!
I ran IOzone while setting-up a new SAS2 RAID adapter(LSI 9211) and disks(Hitachi c10k300) on Opteron dual skt 940(285's) system while using openSUSE Linux with 2.6.32 kernel. The initial purpose was to use md so a md RAID 0 was created and then stress tested. IOzone was one of the tools used. A 8GB file is used to overcome the effects of the installed 4GB RAM.
/usr/lib/iozone/bin/iozone -L64 -S1024 -a -+u -i0 -i1 -s8G -r64 -M -f /SAS600RAID/iozoneTESTFILE -Rb /tmp/iozone_[openSUSE_2.6.32]_[md0-RAID0]_[btrfs]_[9211-8i].xls

Reader Report

Re-Reader Report

Others, ext3, ext4, & JFS, faired about the same but READ were faster and, more importantly, faster than WRITE as would be expected.
I was a bit short on time then so just now ran it with same IOzone parameters but using the 9211's "Integrated RAID" RAID-0 on a different kernel.

As you can see, same thing: WRITE is faster than READ even on the IR RAID.
Something weird is going on ... Perhaps it is an IOzone & btrfs issue.(?) If so IOzone tests are skewed (... the wrong way, ). I'd blame it on this test but none of the other fs had faster WRITEs than READs in the results.
I have not tried it on Intel Nehalem platform yet but thought maybe you should know something odd was occurring (that is not exhibited by the other fs).
I don't need an explanation or anything like that but would be good to know you got the post if you have the time. I do have the excel files if needed.
PS: This is not the first time I found md to be faster than a HBA or RAID card's RAID. Distressing but also very good for us Linux geeks. ...wish it(md) was cross-platform.
Btrfs does crcs after reading, and sometimes it needs a larger readahead window to perform as well as the other filesystems. You could confirm this by turning crcs off (mount -o nodatasum).
Linux uses a bdi (backing dev info) to collect readahead and a few other device statistics. Btrfs creates a virtual bdi so that it can easily manage multiple devices. Sometimes it doesn't pick the right read ahead values for faster raid devices.
In /sys/class/bdi you'll find directories named btrfs-N where N is a number (1,2,3) for each btrfs mount. So /sys/class/bdi/btrfs-1 is the first btrfs filesystem. /sys/class/bdi/btrfs-1/read_ahead_kb can be used to boost the size of the kernel's internal read ahead buffer. Triple whatever is in there and see if your performance changes.
If that doesn't do it, just let me know. Most of the filesystems scale pretty well on streaming reads and writes to a single file, so we should be pretty close on this system.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the explanation and suggestion.
Before seeing it, I did try an older Parallel SCSI card, LSI megaRAID 320-2x with some Fujitsu U320 disks in RAID 0. The card has 512MB of BBU cache ...no way I know to adjust that. [ ...unless you meant a kernel adjustment.(?)]
The results were strikingly different as before but more so:
"Writer report"
"8388608" 244679
"Re-writer report"
"8388608" 231935
"Reader report"
"8388608" 51755
"Re-Reader report"
"8388608" 50160
Then I found & used your suggestions of nodataram and changed the 4096 value to 12288 for the readahead [ *SAS600 type btrfs (rw,noatime,nodatasum)], and that looks like it definitely improved the WRITE faster than READ oddity for the 9211-8i SAS2 card. ( It has no buffer/cache onboard but the HDD have 64MB and the adapter is set so disk cache is on.)
Command line used: iozone -L64 -S1024 -a -+u -i0 -i1 -s8G -r64 -M -f /mnt/CLONE/SAS600/iozoneTESTFILE -Rb /tmp/iozone_[Mandriva_126.96.36.199]_[btrfs]_[9211-8i_RAID-0]-[nodatasum_12288_readahead].xls
"Writer report"
"8388608" 490296

"8388608" 470194
"Reader report"
"8388608" 462138
"Re-Reader report"
"8388608" 458668
Still slower READ but not nearly as dramatic.
The MegaRAID mount was also changed [ PAS320RAID0 type btrfs (rw,noatime,nodatasum) ], but the results did not show improvement. WRITE is still testing as ~4x faster.
Command line used: iozone -L64 -S1024 -a -+u -i0 -i1 -s8G -r64 -M -f /mnt/PAS320RAID0/iozoneTESTFILE -Rb /tmp/iozone_[Mandriva_18.104.22.168]_[btrfs]_[PAS320_MEGARAID-0]-[nodatasum_12288_readahead].xls

The adapters are a lot different. The MegaRAID is a RAID card for U320 PAS w/ a large cache & BBU while the 9211 is an HBA for SAS2(6Gbps) interface w/ no cache or BBU. I'd like to say it is the adapters and SAS-vs-SCSI but ext4 results indicate otherwise.
Last week's test,
iozone -L64 -S1024 -a -+u -i0 -i1 -s8G -r64 -M -f /mnt/linux/PAS320RAID0/iozoneTESTFILE -Rb /tmp/iozone_[openSUSE_2.6.32]_[320-2x_RAID0]_[ext4]-2.xls

8388608 233403
Reader Report
8388608 208436
Re-reader Report
8388608 210758
It is a bit slower too for READ ... but no drama.
Like most everybody else, PAS disks won't be used much longer so I put those numbers up there just as information for you, in case it is needed.
On the up side, man, look at those numbers. The btrfs just walloped ext4 for this test!
That 490,296 kBps is the fastest I've ever seen here for a WRITE. By all means, please keep up the good work!
I'll look at the buffering but with the 9211 HBA there's not much to do for it. Perhaps, the buffering with the disks' cache got turned off between Linux and MS OS somehow. It should not as it is an adapter setting but the LSI2008 and LSI2108 kernel module(mpt2sas) is relatively new. ... it'll take a while to get the SW running to find out.
On raid cards with writeback cache (and sometimes even single drives with writeback cache), the cache may allow the card to process writes faster than it can read. This is because the cache gives the drive the chance to stage the IO and perfectly order it, while reads must be done more or less immediately. Good cards have good readahead logic, but this doesn't always work out.
So, now that we have the kernel readahead tuned (btw, you can try larger numbers in the bdi read_ahead_kb field), the next step is to make sure the kernel is using the largest possible requests on the card.
cd /sys/block/xxxx/queue where xxxx is the device for your drive. You want the physical device, and if you're using MD you want to do this to each drive in the MD raid set (example cd /sys/block/sda/queue)
echo deadline > scheduler
echo 2048 > nr_requests
cat max_hw_sectors_kb > max_sectors_kb
Switching to deadline may or may not make a difference, the others are very likely to help.

Laura sleeps.
Twenty years ago, Laura's parents, Anne and Ben, came to Abdet, a small village in the Alicante mountains in Spain. There they began to build a house from the ruins of an abandoned stable, deep in a valley, just below a threatening ridge called 'The Crag'. They built their home stone by stone, expanding it as the family grew, using rocks that fell from the mountain to construct not only the house, but a corral for animals and ponds to irrigate their land. They live in perfect harmony with their environment, respecting their place in nature and altering the landscape as little as possible.

Angels bounce back with 4-3 win in KCSeptember 16th, 2012, 1:56 pm by BILL PLUNKETT, OCREGISTER.COM
Mark Trumbo's first home run in nearly a month helped the Angels get out to an early lead and hold on for a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
The Angels scored once in the first inning on Torii Hunter's RBI single. An inning later, Trumbo made it a 4-0 getaway with a three-run home run to straightaway center field. It was his first home run -- first extra-base hit of any kind -- since August 21. The blast snapped an 18-game homerless streak, the longest of Trumbo's young career, and was a rare positive moment in a deep second-half slump for Trumbo.
The Angels did no more damage against Royals starter Will Smith (a former Angels farmhand) or the bullpen.
Meanwhile, the Royals chipped away at the early lead by scoring single runs in the second, third and fourth against Dan Haren. But Haren and the Angels bullpen made the one-run lead stand up over the final five innings.
A night after Ernesto Frieri gave up back-to-back home runs in a walkoff defeat, five Angels relievers handled the final 3 1/3 innings, allowing just one hit. Kevin Jepsen stepped in for Frieri and got the final three outs for the save.Read the rest of this entry »

Escape to the seascape with a ring that contains all the 'greens' of the ocean. Featuring aventurine, chrysoprase, variscite and amazonite gemstones in abstract shapes, this ring honors the ocean both in the color of the gemstones and the sea life depicted in the cleverly carved sterling silver. A true treasure from the sea, ring measures 1-1/8" long x 3/4" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Seashells and starfish spring forth in sterling silver, while the cool blues and greens of amazonite, variscite, chrysoprase, milky aqua, fluorite and aventurine gently nod and drift beside one another, giving voice to the creatures and colors found in tidal pools along America's northeastern shores.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

SPF Protection - 35
Coldblack® finish allows the heat to be reflected unlike common dark textiles, which absorb heat, allowing the wearer to avoid overheating even during physical activity.
The lightweight Carbon Ion fabric offers exceptional moisture-wicking and airflow, but what's even more is it is now treated with coldblack® that reflects the sun to reduce the surface temperature of the fabric. In other words, the black version of this jersey will stay as cool as the white jersey. The coldblack® treatment also offers extreme UV protection. With preshaped shoulder and aero lazer band sleeves, the Performance Carbon Cycling Jersey performs aerodynamically and offers comfort when in the aero position.
There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.

Looks really awesome in my kitchen, very happy with this purchase, powerful fans also.
Carlsbad, CA
via sears.com
Bought this Vent Range Hood for it's powerful 850 CFM air flow, professional easy to clean SS filters. Installation was medium difficult - need two people to hold it up for final cabinet attachment. * Love the variable manual blower speed control (lower settings for scrambled eggs and Goulash soup). Full power - no cooking smell even with garlic, onion sauté or curry. A must have range hood if you want to keep the value of your home (without the spice smell). * Two Lamps for the front cooking lights enough to see when the omelet is about right. * Two Infra-Red Warming lamps in the back keeps the sunny side up warm while I make the pancakes. Initially we just used (2) normal 60W Spot light which enhances the back burners. * My wife loves it because she doesn't have to run to our outdoor burner when it's cold outside. * The light and fan switches are heavy duty. We have the Range Hood for 6 months now and still "Vove" it. * We have not evoked the built-in Heat Sentry yet. Where it is suppose to turn the hood blower on automatically if it senses excessive heat above the cooking surface. * The price is better than the Ki..Ai brand and the blower is over 24% more powerful.

Air Quality Action Plan
The 1995 Environment Act requires the City Council to produce an Air Quality Action Plan to address air quality in the area. This follows on from the declaration of the city as an Air Quality Management Area for nitrogen dioxide (2003) and fine particles (2004). The first Action Plan was issued in 2006 to address emissions and concentrations of these pollutants.
As part of the review and assessment process, the 2004 declaration for fine particles was revoked in 2010 following a detailed assessment of monitoring data.
Birmingham City Council has subsequently undertaken a major review of its Action Plan. Following a full consultation with action owners and the wider public the new Air Quality Action Plan (2011) has been issued and is attached below.
Because the main source of pollution in the City is from motor vehicles the Action Plan remains integrated with the West Midlands Local Transport Plan (now at version 3).
If you require further information about Birmingham's Air Quality Action Plan please contact:

Official Sponsor
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — National Wild Turkey Federation chapters in South Carolina received L.A. Dixon Memorial Chapter Awards during the NWTF's 35th annual National Convention and Sport Show in Nashville, Tenn.
MidwayUSA was the official convention sponsor.
The L.A. Dixon awards are given to local, state and provincial chapters that excel at conservation fund raising, education and outreach events year-round. The following chapters from South Carolina earned L.A. Dixon Awards for their outstanding work in 2010.
The South Carolina State Chapter was recognized by the NWTF for winning first place in the membership achievement category for state chapters with 5,000 to 9,999 members.
The Orangeburg Chapter, headquartered in Orangeburg, S.C., was recognized by the NWTF for earning second place in the Total Sponsor Membership Achievement category.
The Swamp Fox Local Chapter, headquartered in Ladson, S.C., was recognized by the NWTF for earning second place in the Greatest Net Income category and third place in the Best Net/Net category for their fundraising efforts.
The Salkehatchie Longbeards Chapter, headquartered in Walterboro, S.C., was recognized by the NWTF for earning third place in the Best of the Best Local Chapter category.
"We are proud to recognize these outstanding chapters with the L.A. Dixon Awards," said George Thornton, NWTF CEO. "The NWTF's volunteers and chapters are incredibly devoted to our mission of conservation and the preservation of our hunting heritage. These outstanding chapters are shining examples of how our great volunteers lead the way in communities across North America."
The L.A. Dixon Memorial awards are bestowed in honor of a man who gave unselfishly during the NWTF's early years. Dixon founded the North Carolina State NWTF chapter, served at the national, state and local levels and traveled thousands of miles at his own expense carrying the NWTF's message to all who would listen. The NWTF honors Dixon's achievements through the L.A. Dixon Memorial Chapter Awards.
Last year, NWTF chapters hosted more than 2,000 Hunting Heritage Super Fund banquets to raise funds for the NWTF's conservation and outreach initiatives. Dollars raised at these events help fund conservation and outreach projects nationwide through the NWTF Hunting Heritage Super Fund.
Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to conserve 15.9 million acres of habitat that helps wild turkeys and hundreds of upland wildlife species including deer, quail, grouse and pheasants.

We also understand and appreciate the positive impact on the community that these organizations have. Conquest Graphics offers a 10% discount and print grants to these critically important organizations. We are trying to do our part to make the world a better place.
In 2014, Conquest Graphics is expanding our Non-profit/Charity Program with the addition of Print Grants. The print grants in 2014 will total $20,000 in donations!
