A few images from the Surf City Marathon. I had a blast shooting some marketing images for RaceForce. at 17,000 runners, it was one of the bigger races I've covered. Beautiful course right on the ocean for the majority of the time.
Field Test Day 1. Mojave National Preserve. I started with a full (solar) charge on my Goal Zero Yeti 150 (battery) in Phoenix and wanted to see if it could keep up with my charging demands today that include: iPhone (2) iPad (1) GPS watch (1) These are all things I usually take on my photography adventures. I rigged up my Nomad 20 foldable solar panel to my roof rack at 9am this morning and ran the cable into my Yeti 150 in my Toyota FJ. I let them soak up sun all day. The set up has worked great and as the sun sets I am still 80%-FULL on my battery. I need to do some more charging tonight so we'll see how it looks in the morning. No damage to the solar panels on the roof rack after 8 hours of 4×4 roads either. I beat up on my gear so it's important to me that they are built tough. Day 1 Grade: A+ #GetOutStayOut
Goal Zero Field Test Day 2. Mojave National Preserve. I have some photography I want to do today with my Canon DSLR so overnight I charged up using my Yeti 150, one battery for my DSLR as well as a full charge on my iPad and iPad. The Yeti used about 60% of its battery doing that, so I was left with 20% this morning. I put up the Nomad 20 panels this morning to catch the early sunrise while I was out shooting. Btw, no Joshua Trees were hurt during this field test. I've been really impressed with my Solar System so far, although I did noticed a small issue last night. I could not plug in my Canon DSLR battery charger into the AC port and my iPad into the USB port on the Yeti 150 at the same time. It would be great to have the ports farther apart so I can charge both at the same time. I'm off to photograph more Joshua Trees and catch some more solar power. #GetOutStayOut
Goal Zero Field Test Day 2. Afternoon Edition. Mojave National Preserve. Spare gas canisters make a great angle to collect more sun on my @goalzero Nomad20. Angling the panels towards the sun increase the efficiency of the sun rays on the panels ie more juice. In other news, they just took a HUGE "probably going waaaay to fast on this dirt road" bouncing and, besides smelling like gas now, all are still going strong. Not exactly sure much energy they have collected today because the digital readout on the Yeti150 only go in increments of 20%. It would be great to have a solid number more then within 20%. Maybe that feature comes on their bigger models? #GetOutStayOut
Goal Zero Field Test Day 2. Evening Edition. Mojave National Preserve. Sorry for the delay, no reception where I spent the night. I started this morning, after a night of charging, at about 20%. I drove around the entire day with a Nomad 20 on my roof rack (see previous post) always aware of where the sun was an setting the angle or tilt of the panels accordingly. I was constantly charging my iPhone today but that was about it. The Yeti150 ended the day of charging at roughly 40%. Meaning it gained about 20% while I was charging an iPhone on it. I would have like to see more then a 20% gain after a full day of sun but in the end I will have enough power to recharge my DSLR battery and GoPro before the next sunrise. Ideally, I would like to keep the battery up above 50% just in case of a cloudy day, but so far the Goalzero system is keeping up with my power needs. Day Two Grade: A-. As I was rigging up the angle on the panels during the day and hoping it was helping but never really sure, it occurred to me, it would be super helpful to have a sun effectiveness meter on the Yeti150 or a box in between the panels and the charger. Maybe three little LEDs that let you know if you are getting Good, OK or Bad energy from the panels. You only have a limited amount of sun energy each day, it would be great to know if I was maximizing that energy or could re-angle the panels to do so. #GetOutStayOut
Goalzero Field Test Day 3. Brunch Edition. Mojave National Preserve. So after last nights charge of my DSLR battery and GoPro they are all powered up but my Yeti150 is less then 20% at sunrise on the Kelso Dunes. As I mentioned before I am loving that the Nomad20 and Yeti150 combo are keeping up with my frequent charging but at 20% and let's pretend a super cloudy/stormy day today, I would not have enough juice to keep all my equipment charged. Buuuut it's not cloudy, it's bright and sunny here in the Mojave desert and the Goalzero solar system is not only keeping up, its going strong. I'm learning that the positioning of the panels is key. Along with brushing my teeth and jumping jacks, setting up the panels to catch the first rays of the sunrise is becoming a nightly duty. I would recommend the same to anyone using the panels. It would be great to see adjustable "kickstands" coming off the back of the Nomad20 so I could leave them at basecamp positioned correctly if need be. #GetOutStayOut
Goalzero Field Test Day 3. Evening Edition. Mojave National Preserve. With everything fully charged this morning and my Yeti150 at 20% I mounted my Nomad20 panel to the roof rack of my FJ and continued my last day photographing my project in the Mojave desert. I decided to give the Yeti150 one final charge and the Nomad20 one final durability test as I made my way home from California to Arizona. On the six hour ride, the Yeti150 charged 40% while I was continually charging my iPhone. And just as important the Nomad20 withstood an 80 MPH highway run home. I arrived home with the Yeti150 at 60% and the solar panels intact. Although I wasn't complete comfortable with only 20% this morning. If my adventure had gone another day I'm confident my Goalzero Solar System could have kept up with my energy demands. Day Three Grade: A-. I will have a "full report/final thoughts and a go-no-go" on my Goalzero set up soon. #GetOutStayOut
Goal Zero Field Test. Mojave National Preserve. Final Thoughts.
After a failed attempt of finding any quality independent photo/video reviews (with real numbers) of the Goalzero Solar Systems, I decided to take it out on a trip of my own. I used the Nomad20 panels with the Yeti150 battery.
I am a freelance photographer based out of the Sonoran Desert so buying a solar system for me just made sense. Previously I had been charging all my gear from my Toyota FJ but had run into a few charging problems when I was out in the desert not running my truck.
The gear I needed charged included: Canon DSLR batteries, GoPro, Garmin GPS watch, iPad and iPhone.
I was really wanting to test two things on my three day trip out to the Mojave National Preserve. One, Charging Capability: using only the sun, could the system keep up and charge all my equipment so I could finish my photography project. And two, Durability: would the system be durable enough to hold up. I pay extra for durable gear and expected it to not break when I need it the most. See previous posts for full real numbers review.
I left my house with a 100% on my Yeti150 and the Nomad20 strapped to the top of my roof rack. I had read that angling the panels towards the sun has a significant effect on the energy collected. I adjust the panels accordingly the entire time.
The Nomad20s are a tight durable and foldable package with a magnet closing. I thought the magnet closing wasn't the best idea but it worked great. No problems with it. The panels also have a great big zipper pocket to hold all your cables in one place. Awesome idea. The cable that runs to the Yeti150 was long enough to run from the roof rack into the front seat of my truck. I didn't have to buy an extender cable. The panels have a bunch of small loops on them so you can mount in a variety of ways. No cracks or even scratches on the panels themselves.
The Yeti150 worked great as well. It's got a great drop handle on it and felt really solid enough to throw in the truck and go. Little blue lights indicate a good charge which is nice reinforcement. It's got great options for charging. Including two USB ports, one "wall outlet" and one 12V port. I was charging multiple gear at the same time with no problem. Awesome piece of equipment.
The digital battery readout on the Yeti150 only go in increments of 20%. It would be great to have a solid number more then within 20%.
Sun effectiveness meter. Some kind of light indicator (more then the blue one) between the panels and the battery indicating if you are getting a okay/good/great charge. I was constantly moving around the panels to the sun and it would've been great to know that this was helping the charge.
Ports farther away. This is a big one. I could not plug in my Canon DSLR wall charger and my iPhone through the USB ports at the same time. The ports are too close together.
Plugs or caps for the ports on the Yeti150 would be great as these systems are primarily used outside… In the dirt. Not a deal breaker but would be great to have included. I will buy some plugs for mine.
Kick stands for panels to increase the effectiveness of collecting the sun.
Overall, I was really impressed with the system. I always had juice in the battery to power all my gear. I would have been more comfortable with more juice then 20% in the morning but the system did want I wanted and keep my gear fully charged for three days in the Mojave desert. Charging Capability Test gets an A. I had zero straps and/or cables fail on tight rigging (but still bouncing) on my roof rack through some fast 4×4 roads. The panels also went through two moderate rain storms with no effect on them. Durability Test also gets an A. Bottom line, as you can tell by the photo, I will continue to use my Goalzero system at home and out in the field as well as purchase more from them in the future.
I have another Field Test scheduled for mid March I'll be doing a six day backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon and will be using a Goalzero system again. Stay tuned!

Awesome shoot last night at the unveiling of the 8 feet by 4 feet, 200,000 piece LEGO model of Taliesin West. Created by Adam Reed Tucker, a certified LEGO professional and the master mind behind LEGOs successful "Architectural" series. I got to chat with Adam a little bit during the shoot and I was amazed to find out he build the model without using any computer modeling. The entire design and build came right out of Adams creative mind. Incredible. It's on display at Taliesin West. Go check it out!

Corey M. Brooks: Obama's Proclamation Has a Familiar Ring
COREY M. BROOKS is assistant professor of history at York College of Pennsylvania. The essay was written for the History News Service. Contact: email@example.com
Like Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, President Obama's declaration that gay and lesbian Americans deserve a right to marry is a historic statement of principle, even though its practical policy implications are limited because the states, not the federal government, hold most of the power to define marriage.
Obama's assertion that state-level prohibitions on same-sex marriage are morally objectionable but legally sound rings familiar to this Civil War historian. I can't help but notice a close resemblance to the pre-Civil War views of millions of white Northerners (and perhaps more than a few white Southerners) on slavery.
Northerners understood that the Constitution protected slaveholding as a matter left to individual states, and for decades many had found this a comforting justification for their tolerance of an institution they knew should be intolerable. Slavery was a Southern problem, and as long as it could be kept a Southern problem, Northerners' thinking went, they would bear little moral responsibility....

This is all it really comes down to. All this lawyering over terms to try to rip items others have paid for out of their hands, because they have somehow wronged the people who didn't pay for them.
I don't care about the Captain's Table and similar post-launch bonuses. That was never part of the original deal anyway. That was a bonus. Things that they do outside of the original deal are just that... outside.

I have this SQL, which produces the desired results:
select * from Categories as c
inner join Questions as q on c.Id = q.CategoryId
inner join Surveys as s on s.Id = q.SurveyId
where s.RoleId = 2
I would like to convert it to a lambda expression.
How it works:
- A single survey exists for each user role
- A survey contains questions
- Sets of questions belong to a single category
I am trying to pull the entire survey, walking through the results with Category.Questions, etc (loop already constructed).
Any help on this would be appreciated, as I'm trying to get back into the .NET scene after more than 5 years of avoidance... Thank you in advance.

A Forrester Research study finds that generations of users show significant differences in media consumption and response to various forms of marketing.
Marketers looking for the best way to reach a target audience online should go beyond choosing the most popular methods of the day and consider generational differences in media consumption habits, according to Forrester Research.
"To plan effective integrated campaigns, marketers must start with search and layer on site messaging in the media that resonate with target consumers: buzz, blogs, and banners for Gen Yers, deep search and word of mouth for Gen Xers, print and product packaging for Boomers, and the written word for Seniors," writes Charlene Li, principal analyst at Forrester.
Search results from a general search engine account for 71 percent of site visits, with another 8 percent coming from vertical search engines, according to the report. Those results are similar across generations, with Gen Xers, those between age 27 and 40, being slightly more likely than other age groups to use general search engines like Google and Yahoo, and Younger Boomers, age 41-50, more likely to use vertical search engines, like travel and health search engines.
Because search is important for all users, Li recommends that marketers start with sound search marketing and optimization efforts. "Smart marketers will prioritize their search optimization efforts to ensure high relevance and ranking," she said.
While search is a universal way for users to find a site, usage of other media channels is dependent on which generation a user belongs to, Li said. After search, the methods used to find something online begins to diverge, as does consumption of other media that can be used in cross-channel campaigns.
For Gen Y, age 18 to 26, the most common methods for finding a site are word of mouth from friends, and links from blogs. Surprisingly, Gen Yers also click on banners more often than other generations. Gen Xers, besides being prolific users of search, are best reached by "pass-along" media, including word of mouth and e-mail.
Young Boomers, age 41 to 50, and Older Boomers, age 51 to 61, are fond of print media, and are most likely to visit sites they find in print ads, or on product labels. In addition, about 30 percent of Boomers said they had visited a site they heard about in a news story. Seniors spend less time with media than other groups, but the time they do spend is most often spent with print media like newspapers or magazines. They are also more likely than other groups to type in a URL directly, or to visit sites recommended by friends or family.

Clever Faux Mantel Wall Hanging for the Holidays
No mantel? No worries — Santa will be sure to stuff your stockings when they're hanging from this clever faux mantel wall hanging made from a drop cloth, drapery hardware and chalkboard paint.
Materials Needed:
- canvas drop cloth
- primer
- quart of black chalkboard paint
- paint roller handle and cover
- paint pan and liner
- chalk
- thin profile drapery rod with finials
- iron-on adhesive tape
- iron and ironing board
- spool of twine
- picture-hanging nails
- scissors
- S-hooks or stocking hooks
Prep Drop Cloth
Use iron to remove all wrinkles from drop cloth (Image 1). Next, create a rod pocket by folding the drop cloth's top down approximately 1/2", then use iron-on adhesive tape and iron to fuse the two portions of the drop cloth together (Image 2).
Iron Out Canvas for Drop Cloth
Use iron to remove all wrinkles from drop cloth you will be using for the faux holiday mantel hanging.
Use Iron On Adhesive Tape To Make Rod Pocket in Canvas
Create a rod pocket by folding the drop cloth's top down approximately 1/2", then use iron-on adhesive tape and iron to fuse the two portions of the drop cloth together
Insert Drapery Rod and Add Hanger

Insert a Drapery Rod Into Canvas
Insert thin-profile drapery rod into the rod pocket and attach finials to each end.
Add Twine Hanger to Rods
Add a hanger by tying twine on to rod and knotting it onto each end of the rod.
Prime Drop Cloth
Most canvas drop cloths are extremely porous, so it's important to prime it before applying chalkboard paint to reduce the number of coats needed. Using a paint roller, add an even coat of primer, leaving a two-inch unpainted border around the edges.
Add Chalkboard Paint
Use a paint roller to apply two even coats of chalkboard paint on top of the primed area. Tip: Leaving a two-inch unpainted edge will add a contrasting border to your wall hanging, framing it nicely.
Draw Mantel and Fire
Use chalk to draw the silhouette of a mantel (Image 1). Add visual interest by giving your mantel architectural ornamentation such as friezes or moldings (Image 2). Once the mantel is complete, add burning logs to the mantel's opening with chalk (Image 3).
Draw an Outline of Mantel with Chalk
Use chalk to draw the silhouette of a mantel for faux mantel hanging.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

A rising chorus of companies in the oil & gas services sector are adding their voices to the majority of Americans who think it's a smart idea to limit vast waste of methane taking place every day in the nation's the oil and gas operations. These companies in the methane mitigation industry are experts in finding and fixing methane waste. They issued statements welcoming the EPA's announcement of planned rules aimed at reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas value chain.
As the ones who are working overtime to provide technologies and services to minimize release of methane and other pollutants throughout the natural gas value chain, these companies see limiting methane emissions as smart business for the oil and gas industry.
Consider their remarks:
- "Rebellion Photonics welcomes today's announcement from the EPA regarding its methane plan. It is a positive step towards ensuring we minimize emissions of methane, a short-term climate forcer, from the US oil and gas value chain. America's shale revolution holds vast potential to both power our economy and drive environmental gains. Limiting the amount of methane that leaks from natural gas equipment ensures that we will maximize the environmental benefits of America's plentiful natural gas resources," said Rebellion Photonics, a manufacturer of specialized cameras that detect methane leaks.

Wadi El-Rayyan is an amazing destination for a soft-adventure daytrip from Cairo: you can swim in the lakes, jump off the waterfalls, and most of all, just enjoy the amazing natural scenery. You can also head to the nearby Whale Valley, which is also a part of the protectorate, an open-air museum that showcases whale fossils that have been excavated in the area.
The Wadi El-Rayan protectorate can only be reached by a private car or taxi, taking the Fayoum Desert Road from Cairo. A 4X4 vehicle would be a good choice, since the road becomes bumpier after leaving Fayoum.

A fuir !Posted Feb 17, 2015
Pros: La porte de sortie
Cons: Absolument rien, tout est parfait....
Dès mon arrivée, aux alentours de 00h30, aucune personne se trouve à la réception. Normal vu l'heure tardive. Mais en penchant ma tête je vois que cette personne est assise dans l'arrière salle de la réception mangeant son paquet de pringles et jouant sur son Ipad. La chambre est horreur ! Les prises électriques ne marchent pas, les taies d'oreiller tachées et même des restes de cheveux d'une jolie brune en prime ! Un vrai bonheur. Dans la salle de bain le lavabo complètement bouché. Les toilettes, je n'en parle même pas... Une chose est sure, même gratuitement je n'y mets plus les pieds.

Traveling with a girls ball team. Arrived and found our rooms to be exceptionally clean, the hotel staff was super friendly and accomodating (even willing to make accomodations for the restaurant menu, so that it would be better suited to our ball players). The hotel was modern and a super location. The price was fabulous and breakfast was so much better than a continental would have been. Would definitely recommend this to friends and other travelers.

"A different type of mindset"
Renowned neurologist David Perlmutter, MD, blows the lid off a topic that's been buried in medical literature for far too long: carbs are destroying your brain.

"What should we have for dinner?" To one degree or another, this simple question assails any creature faced with a wide choice of things to eat. Anthropologists call it the omnivore's dilemma.

Simply eating a low-carb diet alone isn't enough, and Moore and Westman tell you why. Have you looked at a low-carb diet simply as a means to lose weight? What if you learned that combining a low-carb nutritional approach with a high fat intake produces a powerful therapeutic effect on a wide variety of health conditions that most people think requires medication to control? That's what Keto Clarity is all about. Jimmy Moore, a leading low-carb diet blogger and podcaster, has reunited with his Cholesterol Clarity co-author Dr. Eric C. Westman, a practicing internist and low-carb diet researcher, to bring you the crystal-clear information you need to understand what a ketogenic diet is and why it may be the missing element in your pursuit of optimal health. This book includes exclusive interviews from twenty of the world's foremost authorities from various fields bringing their depth of expertise and experience using this nutritional approach.

You will find a step-by-step guide to help you produce more ketones and track your progress, real life success stories, and more. The solid evidence for nutritional ketosis in dealing with many of the chronic health problems of our day is presented, including but not limited to: epilepsy, Type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome.

"The best information out there!"
Every year, the average American eats 33 pounds of cheese (triple what we ate in 1970) and 70 pounds of sugar (about 22 teaspoons a day). We ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt a day, double the recommended amount, and almost none of that comes from the shakers on our table. It comes from processed food. It's no wonder, then, that one in three adults, and one in five kids, is clinically obese.
"This is all too real, and YOU are the victim."

Great abs will help you live longer, sleep better, prevent back pain, and significantly improve your sex life! (And, hey, they don't look half-bad in the mirror, either.) Unfortunately, you could spend years on starvation diets and extreme exercise programs that never unearth those elusive stomach muscles.
"Not really within six weeks"
Stranger Here is the brutally honest, surprisingly hilarious story of one woman's journey from one extreme of the weight spectrum to the other, and of the unexpected emotional chaos it created. Insightful and unsparing in her self-examination, Larsen depicts the exhilarating highs and devastating lows she experienced as a result of her weight loss, the incredible joy of finally beginning to look like the image of herself she's always carried inside her head, and the crushing pain and confusion of feeling like a stranger in her own body after losing the weight that has always defined her.
If you've ever struggled with losing weight and keeping it off, I don't have to tell you it's a challenge. You already know. What if losing weight could be as easy as flipping a switch? I know that sounds incredible. But now there's an abundance of research telling us that may be possible. In his new book, The Fat Switch, Dr. Richard J. Johnson, presents news-breaking, science-based studies that will reverse current thinking on both the cause and treatment of obesity.
"Before its time"
Psychiatry has made great advances in the past 50 years but needs a new direction. Today's emphasis on psychiatric drugs will not stand the test of time. Recent advances in epigenetics and the molecular biology of the brain have provided a roadmap for the development of effective, natural, drug-free therapies that do not produce serious side effects. Psychiatric medications have served society well over the last 50 years, but the need for drug therapies will fade away as science advances.
"Not for Novices"

And no, a dose of daily sunshine doesn't give you enough!
"Very Good Listening"

Two leading cardiologists draw on their collective 50 years of clinical cardiology research to show you how to combine the benefits of modern medicine, over-the-counter vitamins and supplements, and simple lifestyle changes to have a healthy heart.
The psychological impact of dealing with the stress of the daily management of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can be frustrating and challenging. Yet this area is rarely discussed in medical settings despite the fact that the emotional context can undermine the person's ability to stay motivated in the essential self-care tasks that are vital for good health. Diabetes and Wellbeing presents a range of research-based psychological principles that have been demonstrated to positively impact emotional wellbeing.

For decades addiction has been viewed and treated as a social and behavioral illness, afflicting people of "weak" character and "bad" moral fiber. However, recent breakthroughs in genetic technology have enabled doctors, for the first time, to correctly diagnose the disease and prove that addiction is an inherited, neuro-chemical disease originating in brain chemistry, determined by genetics, and triggered by stress. In their groundbreaking The Addiction Solution, David Kipper and Steven Whitney distill these exciting findings.

"One of the BEST books on Food"
Food consumption is a significant and complex social activity - and what a society chooses to feed its children reveals much about its tastes and ideas regarding health. In this groundbreaking historical work, Amy Bentley explores how the invention of commercial baby food shaped American notions of infancy and influenced the evolution of parental and pediatric care. Until the late 19th century, infants were almost exclusively fed breast milk. But over the course of a few short decades, Americans began feeding their babies formula and solid foods....

text: When I am not traveling for work I am traveling for my own enjoyment. I work with international students and love to learn about other cultures and other people's experiences. When I am in a new place I love to learn about it from local people, and try to experience a bit of everyday life in that place. I don't enjoy the tourist spots and try to blend a bit of nature and culture in my visits. In my spare time I enjoy sharing good food and wine with friends. I am an extremely neat and tidy house guest and very respectful. I am always considering how I would want my own home to be treated. When I'm traveling I prefer low key evenings instead of nightclubs. I am pretty basic, just looking for a clean, safe and happy place to sleep.

What enclosure do I use to replace optical drive with hybrid drive?
I want to replace my optical drive but I'm getting confused about what I need because my macbook pro is a not a unibody. Its a Santa Rosa and I want to replace the optical drive with a 1 TB SSD Hybrid Sata 6 gb 2.5 inch hard drive. Do I need an enclosure? Is it different or the same as the unibody one? IS my computer to old for this?
Edited by: Leigh ( ) , machead3 ( )
Accepted Answer
You may not be able to do that, When this Mac was designed and built there were no 1TB laptop drives, no SATA iii drives at all and only a few SATA II drives(many of todays off the shelf SATA drives are SATA II and III) it has a main HD connector speed of type SATA I (1.5GB).
To avoid return/restock fees I would only purchase a drive with optibay caddy included from a vendor that guaranteed it will work. iFixit has a kit that will support a 1TB standard drive... I know of no one that makes an optibay kit that will put any size SSD in this age machine.
If you are successful please comeback and update your Question and share the solution.
If this Answer is helpful please remember to return and mark it Accepted.
But MCE Technologies seems to sell an Optibay for Non-unibody Macbook Pros from waaaaay back in 2008 or even 2007. There website seems to think it will work, as does crucial.com. I ran crucial.com's scanner app, and it came up with my computer and a several ssd compatible devices. Are these places trying to scam people? I guess I'm still wondering about this. Anybody else know anything about this?
Not at all - however you should be in contact/discuss
2.5" IDE/ATA Hard Drive to ATAPI Optical Bay Adapter
I've been looking at this option for my 2007 17" MBP core 2 duo macbookpro3,1 or my 15" MBP of the same age, if I ever get it running...
Only reason I didn't get one and install a 2nd drive in the opti bay, when I replaced the main hd, was the price…$99.00 seems kinda pricey, when the other 'data-doubler' mounts are about $19.
I often think about biting the bullet, and spending 100 bucks…maybe you should go first! :-)
"OWC 2.5" IDE/ATA Hard Drive to ATAPI Optical Bay Adapter for select PowerBook, MacBook Pro 15-inch or MacBook Pro 17-inch models"
good luck -Mike

Mani Monday! OPI Strawberry Margarita is my new nail obsession
It has been forever since I've last showed you my nail color! I've barely been painting my nails and when I do, it's usually a boring color that doesn't deserve a mention in my opinion. However, I REALLY like the nail polish I have on now. So in stead of Makeup Monday, today it is… Mani Monday!
This is OPI Strawberry Margarita, a polish that was released with OPI's 2006 Mexico collection. Luckily, it's now part of OPI's classics line. I love it! It's a classic bright pink creme polish with a little bit of a blue undertone. I think it's a very flattering shade for my skin tone.
I'm wearing the regular polish on my toes and the gel polish on my finger nails. I can see myself wearing this Strawberry Margarita all Summer long, on both my nails and my toes. That's how much I love it!

DERBY – The new Kingdom Dog Park in Derby is now open. A grand opening celebration was held Saturday.
Despite the rainy weather a large group turned out and nearly 100 dogs enjoyed romping around in their new playground.
Ann Kelley, her husband Bob Kelley, their daughter Ally, and many volunteers have worked on opening the dog park for more than two years.
The Derby Dog Park Committee and many people from all over voted for Derby to win the Pet Safe dog park contest. Derby prevailed in the second round and won $25,000.
BRIGHTON - The Clyde River Hotel, built in 1866, was sold on Friday at a foreclosure auction to Guy and Sharon Daniels of Island Pond. The Daniels' already own the Avalon Inn and Hobo's Restaurant.
Guy Daniels said he plans on closing Hobo's permanently and moving the kitchen equipment and focusing their efforts on the hotel. He also said they received an offer on the Avalon Inn within minutes of purchasing the Clyde and will sell it.
NEWPORT, VT - Thinking about donating some of your time to help others, but not sure where? Why not consider the American Red Cross?
The Red Cross needs volunteers to be part of the disaster response team in the Northeast Kingdom. The response team typically responds to fires and floods, bringing food and drinks to the firefighters and helping the victims with shelter, clothes and food.Â
The Red Cross loses 30 to 35 percent of volunteers annually due to personal, conflicting commitments.
DERBY – For 40 years, area residents flocked to Paul's Sugar House dance hall to shake their booty. Yesterday, all those dedicated fans paid tribute to what has become a local institution.
Paul and Rhina Letourneau opened the dance hall in 1972. The hall was a dream of Rhina but she passed away in 1979. Paul, with the help of family members, kept his wife's dream alive. Paul's son Leo is pleased the dream continues. He said his father loves the business and spends a lot of time there.
DERBY – Faye Morin is the new interim Derby Town Clerk and Treasurer, at least until the March town meeting. She was appointed by a divided select board Thursday evening during a special board meeting.
Select board members Brian Smith (chair), Laura Dolgin, and Steve Gendreau voted yes, while members Beula-Jean Shattuck and Karen Jenne abstained.
The select board had held a vote on the issue Monday evening at their regular select board meeting but there were not enough votes to make the appointment. Dolgin was not present Monday. Jenne and Shattuck abstained from the vote Monday as well.
NEWPORT CITY – October is Fire Prevention Month and Sunday starts Fire Prevention Week. To kick them off right, city firefighters will open their station to the public.
Any Orleans County resident may attend the open house, which will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Residents will be able to sit in a trailer that resembles what a house filled with smoke is like, tour the station, interact with firefighters, see the equipment and enjoy refreshments.
TROY – Troy voters are being asked to vote in November for a $1.38 million bond to renovate the aging school building.
"The school was built in 1978 and we're still dealing with that technology here in 2012," said board chair Jennifer Daigle. "As a school board, it's our responsibility to address any concerns and safety issues of our school and bring it to community members' attention and hopefully get their feedback and support on correcting those items."
DERBY, VT - IROC is in a deep hole - close to drowning but trying desperately to keep its head above water.
IROC is facing foreclosure in April for its inability to pay the $7,700 per month mortgage payment for the facility and still owes about $1.1 million.
Not only is IROC asking several towns that use the facility to financially help IROC every year, but it is also seeking tax exempt status from the state.
IROC would voluntarily pay the town taxes, IROC's executive director Phil White said in a statement.
DERBY LINE – Village trustees are discussing ways to replace some of the aging and small waterlines in the village following a report that the lines may hinder firefighters on Elm Street.
Tuesday evening, Wayne Elliott, vice president of Aldrich and Elliott Engineering, lead the discussion. Derby Select Board Chair Brian Smith, selectman Steve Gendreau and village residents also attended the meeting.
NEWPORT – A German window manufacturer plans to open its North American headquarters right in Newport.
Menck Windows is slated to open on the proposed biotechnology campus. The former Bogner facility off the Lake Road in Newport was already purchased for development. The window manufacturer will open a 40,000 square foot facility on the 40 acre campus.
Bill Stenger of Jay Peak Resort unveiled the surprise plans at a conference last week at the resort, and again in Newport with his partners and Vermont's congressional delegation alongside him.

Unless it says dimensional lumber it's not going to be to the size it says it is.
Ahhhh I get it now. Please excuse my ignorance, I'm new to woodworking projects.
2x6 it is then. Thanks Evan
Ah, I get it.
2x6. Simplest solution.
Yes, I am out of my mind, it's dark and scary in there.
1x6 would be alright, but it might be a little too thin. I'd probably have to add some insulation.
I'm using 5/4 x 6's for my collar. Bought 2x6 but it was too wide to sit even around my lid. So there's that option.
Yeah, Nominal size is sawn timber. Studs now are planed size, meaning ex 2X4 ie 1/4 inch less all round
It seems to me though that timber merchants have taken advantage of tradition and simply make up their own rules these days.
Meh, there's nobody in the industry who doesn't understand that it's just a naming convention. The entire construction trade is based around this; things like how thick insulation is to properly fit into a wall cavity. Nobody's "taking advantage" of anything, it's just how things are and have been and will be.
