This Product:
Wrangler Riggs Jeans: Men's Loden Green 3W020 LD Relaxed Fit Carpenter Jeans
What I especially like about them is the fabric. It breathes much better that bluejeans especially in the Texas heat when working outside. It is thinner than denim and lighter.
My only complaint about these pants.... they only come in one color. Yea...I'm getting another pair, but I'de like more color options. I'm hard to shop for so when I find a pair of pants I like I'll buy 4 or 5.
They have been the best jeans i have found in a long time. they come in long sizes which is a plus for me. i will order them again. i would also recommend them for other to buy.

A retro-reflective roadway marker is generally comprised of a one-piece housing, having integrally molded retro-reflective faces.
The reflective faces having outside surfaces with abrasing reducing raised members and inside surfaces of light reflecting elements that are preferably formed from three mutually intersecting surfaces.
In one form the reflective elements within the housing are integrally molded with partition walls, dividing the reflective elements into small cells, each cell with a plurality of the reflective elements functioning independently without being encapsulated by the filler material.
1. A reflective pavement marker comprising an integrally molded multisided hollow housing made of organic resinous material which has at least one side formed to be reflective face, said reflective face having an outside surface including rhombic shaped raised load bearing portions defining planar surfaces of a plurality of rhombic shaped cells, said cells adapted to intercept light from oncoming vehicles, said rhombic shaped cells each having an inside surface comprising at least one light reflecting element, said at least one element having three mutually intersecting surfaces, said inside surfaces of the rhombic shaped cells being divided by partition and load carrying walls which provide means to isolate and seal said at least one reflective element within each cell from adjacent cells, a backing sheet adhered to said partition and load carrying walls, said backing sheet made of organic resinous material, the interior of the housing being completely filled with thermosetting material and said thermosetting material supporting the backing sheet.
2. The marker of claim 1 in which the outside surface of the reflective face makes an acute angle X with the base plane, said acute angle X to be within the range of about 20� to about 50�.
3. The marker of claim 1 in which a generally horizontal base and top interconnect said reflective faces with two multi-angled sides, said sides each form two distinct angles A1 and A2 with the vertical planes, said angle A1 having a value within the range of about 5� to about 15� and said angle A2 having a value within the range of about 15� to about 60�.
4. The marker of claim 1 wherein said inside surface of each cell has a plurality of reflecting elements.
5. The marker of claim 1 in which the three mutually intersecting surfaces of said reflective elements are of the cube corner type within each cell, said cube corner being positioned such that the axis through each cube corner makes an acute angle with the normal to the outside surface of the reflective face, the size and the number of said reflective cube corner elements within each said rhombic cell is set forth by the size of the rhombic cells to be used within the inside surface of the said reflective face.
6. The marker of claim 1 in which the three mutually intersecting surfaces of said reflecting elements with at least two surfaces being perpendicular to one another.
This invention relates to raised pavement markers that utilize a plurality of light reflecting prisms each with three intersecting surfaces.
This type of raised marker have been used extensively, especially the types with the reflective cube corner elements.
Roadmarkers are mounted on the pavement along the edgeline, centerline or as lane dividers. Markers of this type are usually made of either one-piece or two-piece housing, made of compatible thermoplastic materials with at least one metalized reflective face. Prior to filling the entire housing with a plastic material for rigidity and strength, the reflective portion of the housing are coated with a metalized layer to retain part of its retro-reflective ability. This metalization process, although retaining part of the retro-reflective ability of the three intersected surfaces of the prisms, it also retards portions of the light reflecting out of the three surfaces of the reflecting prisms.
Experience has also proven that the smooth exterior surfaces of the reflecting faces of the markers oriented at an acute angle with the road surface tend to reduce its reflective ability shortly after usage, due to the action of dirt with tire passage.
Among the objectives of this invention are to offer a pavement marker which has an enhanced reflectivity, abrasing reducing raised element which is integrally part of the housing; enlarged reflective faces; and, low cost. Furthermore, this invention enhances the outside angular configuration of the pavement marker to reduce the protrusion from the roadway, thereby reducing impact shocks to the passing vehicles.
The primary objective of this invention is to provide an improved pavement marker of the type consist of one piece shell formed with reflective faces, the reflective faces metalized and entire shell filled with organic material for strength. This has been achieved by developing integrally molded housing, having one or two opposing faces with light reflecting elements, each reflective face is integrally divided into rhombic shaped cells. Each cell contains a planar surface on the outside to intercept light from oncoming vehicles and either a single reflective element or plurality of reflective elements within the inside surface of each rhombic shaped cell. The rhombic shaped cells are isolated from each other by slightly raised members on the outside surface and by a corresponding partition walls from the inside surface. A backing sheet adhered onto said partition walls, seal and isolate each cell, freeing the three surfaces of the reflecting elements within each cell from encapsulation by the filler material. Hence, the reflectivity achieved without vacuum metalizing the reflecting elements.
Another objective of this invention is to provide an improved pavement marker of the type using load carrying partition walls. This has been achieved by incorporating on the outside surface of the reflective face slightly raised members and nearly directly above the partition walls, thereby freeing the reflective cells from direct impact and permitting light impinging on the outside surface of the reflective cells to bounce back freely toward the vehicle line of sight.
Another objective of this invention is to provide an improved reflective highway marker utilizing multi-angled sides of relatively simple design, yet protrude a slight amount from the roadway surface, thereby reducing the vehicles' impact upon tire contact with said marker.
Still another objective of the present invention is the enhanced area of the reflective faces which can provide greater area of reflectivity than presently is achieved.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the pavement marker of this invention.
FIG. 2 is an elevation view of the pavement marker of FIG. 1
FIG. 3 is a section through Line 1--1 on FIG. 1.
FIG. 4A is a plan view of a preferred form of a rhombic shaped cell housing plurality of cube corner array, within the cell's partition walls.
FIG. 4B is another form of a rhombic shaped cell housing the cube corner elements within the partition walls.
FIG. 4C is a third form of a rhombic shaped cell housing a single cube corner reflector within the partition walls.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged portion of a segment of the reflective face that may be used in FIG. 1, showing relation between the incident light and the reflected light through free standing reflected element.
FIG. 6 is the same enlarged portion in FIG. 5 showing the relation between incident light and reflected light through metal coated reflective elements.
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary section view along the line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
Greatly enhanced reflectivity and durability for pavement markers can be achieved by the elimination of the process of metalizing the reflective elements of the present pavement markers and by incorporating raised members on the outside of the reflective faces to reduce direct contact, thereby reducing abrasing to the outside planar faces of said pavement marker.
This invention satisfies the above conditions.
Referring to the illustrated drawings of this invention, FIGS. 1 through 4C represent a pavement marker generally designated by the number 20, and comprises a housing 10, a backing sheet 50 and a rigid core 60. Part of the housing 10 is the planar face 11, having an outside surface with abrasing reducing and load transferring members 12 defining the planar surfaces 13 of the rhombic shaped cells, adopted to intercept light.
The inside surface of face 11 is divided into rhombic shaped cells 14, corresponding to planar surfaces 13 on the outside of face 11.
Each cell 14 incorporates either a singular or plurality of reflective elements 16. Cells 14 isolated from each other by partition and load carrying walls 15. The reflective elements 16 comprise cube corner reflective prisms. Each of the reflective surfaces of an element 16 positioned with respect to the wall 15 in such a particular manner to allow maximum reflectivity of the three reflective surfaces. The axis for each cube corner element form an acute angle i with the normal to the outside surface of the reflective face as in FIG. 3.
The housing 10 has side walls 30, each with two segments 31 and 32. FIG. 2 shows each of the segments 31 and 32 to be inclined with distinct angles A1 and A2 with respect to the vertical. Angle A1 preferably within the range of about 5� to 15� and angle A2 is within the range of about 15� to about 60�.
Due to this angular configuration of side 30, the tire impact force F in FIG. 2 will be reduced. This will be accomplished especiallly when the tire impact force F in FIG. 2 is due to traffic lane changes, which is the most frequent vehicular contact to pavement markers. This impact reduction primarily is due to the much lower contact height (H1) instead of height (H2) in FIG. 2.
The housing 10 of the pavement marker 20 may be fabricated from any suitable light-transmitting, impact and weather resistant material. The desired color can be achieved by pigmenting either all or part of the housing 10.
When desired, the pavement marker of FIG. 1 can be bi-directionally reflective by making the opposite face 40 optically equivalent to the reflective face 11.
FIG. 3 illustrates a sectional view showing a preferred construction of the pavement marker 20, the outer one-piece housing 10 which is made of a light transmitting organic resinous material. The entire inside portion of the reflective face 11 is sealed with a planar backing sheet 50, made of organic resinous material, then the entire housing 10 is filled with a rigid or resilient material to form core 60.
By using a thermosetting material like Epoxy to fill the core 60, it will provide a rugged structure that adheres well to the interior of housing 10 and the inside of backing sheet 50. Also the present marker will withstand vehicular impact on the roadway.
Since the reflective faces 11 and 40 can be identical in fabrication, we will describe face 11 only in detail.
The inside surface of reflective face 11 in FIG. 3 is integrally divided into plurality of rhombic shaped cells 14 by the partition walls 15 that extend beyond the tips or raised corners of all of the three mutually intersecting surfaces of the reflective elements 16 within each cell, thereby freeing all of the reflective elements from contact with the backing sheet 50. This creates an air space 70 between the reflective elements within each cell and the backing sheet 50, thereby allowing total reflection within the three intersecting surfaces of each reflective elements 16 without the need to metalize these reflective surfaces prior to filling housing 10 with a rigid material. FIG. 4A 4B and 4C show the preferred forms of the rhombic shaped cell 14 within inside surfaces of the reflective face 11 of housing 10. The size and number of the cube corner element 16 in a given rhombic cell is determined by the particular application of the marker and by the size of the load carrying partition walls used.
A brief background into how a non-metalized reflective cube corner elements or other reflective prisms would reflect light more effectively when they are freely functioning in an air medium (rare medium), instead of being coated with a metal layer.
FIG. 5 shows the relation between the so-called Poynting vectors L and L' where the vector L represents an incident of light from an oncoming vehicle and L' represents the incident of light traveling through the dense medium 35 of the face 11 that is made of a light transmitting organic resinous material having a predetermined reflective index n=1.5.
Hence, in our case: n=1.5=sin d/sin r Where d is the angle that the incident of light ray L forms with the normal line N to the outside surface of face 11 of the housing 10, and r is the angle that deflected light vector L' forms with the same normal line N within the dense medium 35 of face 11 of housing 10.
The mathematical relationship of vectors L, L', angles d and r and the reflective index n has been fully described in the text book (Introduction to Modern Optic, by Grant R. Fowles, published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Inc., 1968, pp. 47-58).
The author proved that vector L' as in FIG. 5 bounce back at the surfaces 74 and 75 which forms the boundary limits of the light transmitting dense medium 35, just as it reaches rare medium 70. This means that nearly total internal reflection takes place within the inner boundaries 74 and 75 of each reflective element 16 within a cell 14, that is light L' will turn around and bounce back within the dense medium 35. This is known as internal reflection.
FIG. 6 shows that when using the same reflective elements 16 with coated metal backing 71, the incident of light traveling through the light transmitting medium 35 of face 11 as it reaches the outer boundary 74 of the reflective elements 16, partly will be reflected onto the adjacent surface 75 and partly be absorbed by the metal coated surface 71, as indicated by the vectors T, K and T', K'. This is due to the face that the coated metal layer 71, which is usually aluminum, is a more dense medium than the light transmitting reflective elements that are part of the housing medium 35.
Therefore, it has been proven that light vector L'=L"' is greater than (K'). Where K' represents the ray of light bouncing back towards its origin, after partly being absorbed by the metalized surface 71 in FIG. 6 and L"' represents ray of light in FIG. 5, fully reflected on the surfaces 74 and 75 due to the uncoated free standing rare medium 70 behind it.
The above author indicates, however, that there is a critical value for the angle g in FIG. 5. In order to achieve total internal reflection of the incident of light passing through the free standing surfaces of the reflective elements 16, within a cell 14, the angle g has to be greater than the critical angle for the respective material used to fabricate the reflective face 11.
Another primary function of partition walls 15 and the corresponding raised member 12 which are integrally part of face 11 is to function as load carrying walls. The rhombic shaped configuration of these walls form a truss like rigid structure that act uniformly, transfer impact load evenly to the core and free reflective cell 14 from direct impact load.
In FIG. 7 the distributed load P acting on face 11, due to vehicular tire impact will be first acting on the abrasing reducing members 12 which are part of the outside surface of face 11. These raised elements 12 will be nearly directly above the corresponding partition walls 15 on the inside surface of face 11, thereby transferring the bulk of impact load P to the core 60 via the aglotinated backing sheet 50.
Another advantage of incorporating the rhombic shaped abrasing reducing elements 12 is to allow a reduction of angle (X) that face 11 forms with the horizontal (as shown in FIG. 3) without increasing the vehicular tire contact with face 11. Therefore, we can reduce the angle (X) thereby enlarging the reflective face 11. The angle (X) preferred to be from about 20� to about 50�.

Quarterback Christian Ponder remains optimistic that he will play Sunday against Seattle after suffering a dislocated left shoulder last week.
Ponder was limited in practice on Wednesday but he's encouraged by the progress he's made this week.
"Honestly it's a lot better than I expected to be all week," he said Thursday. "I was a little pessmistic about what was going to happen over the weekend. I was very uncomfortable. I woke up Monday and Tuesday and I kept feeling better and better. Our training staff has done such a great job of getting me to feel better. So I threw it around a lot more than I expected to [Wednesday]. And each day it's going to keep getting better.''
Ponder said he will wear a harness on his shoulder to protect it.
"I don't think I'm going to wear padding," he said. "I'm going to wear a harness, which people usually wear when they dislocate a shoulder to keep it in place. But I'm not going to wear any extra padding or anything.''
The Seahawks are a physical defense that already has collected 31 sacks, fifth most in the NFL. Ponder said he's not concerned about taking contact.
"I don't know how it's going to feel," he said. "Obviously, I'm going to get hit at some point. Hopefully not. But we'll see how it ends up feeling. But I'm sure it will it be a little painful and hopefully the Seahawks don't have a target on it.''
Jared on Percy, Bevell and Taylor Swift
Jared Allen's weekly media session was particularly entertaining.
Here are a few highlights:
On Seattle's home-field advantage: "They talk about tough environments to play in, it's just loud. The fans aren't going to come on the field and attack you or anything. Well, I hope not. People talk about 'Oh, it's a crazy environment.' It's just fans screaming like they're supposed to. It's just loud. But it makes it fun."
On possibly seeing Percy Harvin lined up on the other side: "I sure hope he isn't. Percy is good enough, let alone coming back with fresh legs and [ticked] off at us. ... Percy is the type of guy you've got to stop him before he starts. You can't let him get going. You can't let him get in the open field. That's where he's dangerous, those second-effort plays. We obviously got see first-hand what he can do. He's a tough kid. If he's in there, we're going to have to go hit him."
On former Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell: "We went to a Taylor Swift concert together, which was awkward. I thought I was at like a Hannah Montana concert for a while. Like, what is going on, here? My wife and I were like, do you think we need to leave? There was like spirit fingers and choreographed dances. I was in the wrong place.
"[Bevell's] kids wanted to go. I knew someone's road manager. I'm huge country music fan. When Taylor first came out, I liked her music. But I had never been to her concert. I was assuming it was going to be a normal concert. It was a like Tween concert. I'm like, what is going on?"

Your cart is empty!
It slides easily between your teeth and below the gumline. It helps clean the tough-to-get plaque away. Shred resistant. Use morning or evening when you brush, essential floss helps your gums and your teeth stay healthy.
After eating lunch at Whole Foods, I realized I had forgotten to replenish my stock of dental floss in my car. Salad greens, chicken, etc...If you floss, you get it. There were a few selections available. I chose the "Smart Floss" and I was very pleased. It's thick, yet stretches and really scrubs as you slide the floss between and around the teeth. I didn't get a big cardamom flavor, just a hint of freshness. I wouldn't have even guessed cardamom had it non been on the package. The price was just under $5 including tax, which seemed comparable to the other options at Whole Foods. My teeth so great after I use it. Thanks
It's annoying that I have difficulty finding this in stores. The floss is best for my teeth that are close together. The strong thin floss really cleans the best of any floss I've tried.
Excellent product! Won't live without. Much better than the floss picks made of wire--this one doesn't bend, so can get through your whole mouth with one pick! Can't beat the price at over just a penny a piece.
"This floss actually makes me like to floss, so I do it more often. It's woven, smooth, and easy to use on teeth that are close together. My husband flosses every day and he loves it too."
These are my top product for my teeth. My teeth are not tightly spaced and these pics are a lifesaver. My dentist always comments on how great I keep my teeth and gums and I tell her thanks to Doctor's BrushPicks.

We purchased 18 cafe barriers from these guys in March. After having an older system from just over a year,most of which was spent in storage due to the great British weather and the fact the system kept falling over, we felt we should go for something a little more substantial. We chose Brandline as the larger companies all seem to use them. The goods came well packaged and the posts and canvas screens looked amazing.

Faculty Mentoring within Academic Departments at NC State
This section provides brief descriptions of the faculty mentoring programs in a few departments at NC State. The intent is to provide examples of different types of mentoring programs and to spark ideas for developing or refining your own department's program for mentoring faculty. If your department has a program that you think works well, please share the information by sending it to Marcia Gumpertz.
Soil Science
Soil Science: Mentoring committees in Soil Science address issues important in the RPT process for Assistant and Associate Professors, and identify any weaknesses in the Department's support structure for these faculty. Mentoring teams are assigned by the department head and consist of three senior faculty members for each Assistant Professor. The team members have a vested interest in the programs and success of that faculty member, and the team works as her/his advocate for success within the department. A mentoring team meets with the faculty member at least twice per year, team members are available to the junior faculty for consultation, and they help ensure that any concerns from other departmental faculty are addressed.
Forestry and Environmental Resources
Forestry and Environmental Resources: This is a large department encompassing a wide variety of disciplines. The department has thus developed a mentoring program in which the faculty member, in consultation with the department head, chooses his or her own mentoring committee. A large part of the responsibility for establishing and meeting with the mentoring committee thus falls on the faculty member being mentored. At a minimum, the mentoring committee reviews and critiques the Statement of Mutual Expectations, thus making sure that the expectations of the junior faculty member, members of the departmental faculty, and the department head are all in alignment. If a relationship develops between the junior faculty member and members of the mentoring committee, the benefits may be much larger.
History: The History Department has a policy of voluntary group mentoring. Under this system, assistant professors meet for coffee or lunch twice a semester to discuss a predetermined topic, i.e. grant writing, graduate advising, publishing, balancing work and family, the tenure process. The assistant professors invite two or three senior faculty to join them for a conversation on a given topic based on their sense of who can offer the best advice. This system allows junior faculty to meet and learn from an assortment of senior faculty, contributes to the overall intellectual life of the department, and encourages individual relationships to develop.

Collectivism isn't generalization
Collectivism is the creation of predator and prey classes. When you say the good of the many outweighs the good of the few, you are saying the good of some (predators) outweighs the good of others (prey).
That's not the same thing as generalization.
But regardless when you run into a cop, you better generalize.
All kittens are not the same. But you can afford, when you meet one, to be friendly. Even if it bites, it's not liable to be serious.
All tigers are neither the same. It might not be hungry. It may or may not be willing to eat humans. But you are well behooved to generalize that it's a threat and stay away.
Same with cops.
Cops do not protect you or repatriate your property. They are there to do you harm. It might be on a break, it might be a more friendly cop, it might even be a good cop.
But you are a fool if you do not assume they are a threat and act accordingly.
Sure, if you know one personally, you are in a situation to know if they are good person or bad. That's a different matter.
Any gang is a potential threat. No matter what colors they wear, but especially if it's blue or black.
I wish we still lived in a Andy Griffith world but we don't.

Campaign Is Taking Indiana Drunk Drivers Off the Road
Drunken driving is a serious problem along the roads of Indiana. The state police report that in 2012 alone, there were a total of 4,757 Indiana car accidents caused by motorists operating vehicles while under the influence of alcohol. Those crashes resulted in 114 fatalities and another 1,381 others suffering a serious Indiana DUI injury.
These numbers leave many citizens wondering what's being done to protect Indiana's motorists from the risks posed by drunk drivers. According to The Indiana Gazette, the answer seems to be a stronger focus on enforcement of drunk driving laws.
Reports indicate law enforcement is planning to hold sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols along strategic roads and highways throughout February. The campaign will be conducted under the oversight of Indiana County District Attorney, Patrick Dougherty, and will also include DUI mobile awareness programs as well.
The Indiana personal injury attorneys with Woods and Woods Injury Lawyers point out that you can do your part to reduce the number of drunk driving accidents too. You can achieve this by never getting behind the wheel of a vehicle if you've consumed any amount of alcohol. It's also helpful to encourage others to do the same.
If you find yourself out and you have had too much to drink, be sure to utilize a cab or get a loved one to get you home safely.

Peter Shankman "had visions of steak in my head" when he waited for an airplane that was going to bring him from Tampa, Florida to Newark, New Jersey. So the investment guru sent out a sarcastic Tweet requesting the steak house chain Morton's meet him in the Newark airport in two hours with a porterhouse — and to his surprise, they obliged!

Jonathan's Card, which we told you about last week, was a nifty social experiment that used a shared Starbucks card in a modern version of the "take a penny, leave a penny" tray. People could use the card to buy themselves coffee and/or contribute to the card and earn themselves a little good karma. Now, alas, it's no more.
You can get lobster from a vending machine in Japan, so why not a baguette from one in France? French baker Jean-Louis Hecht has developed a machine which dispenses warm, fresh bread any time of the day. The idea for the innovation came when customers would knock on the door of his apartment — which was above his bakery — off hours and ask if he had any left over baguettes he could sell them.
When it comes to food at the state fair, there's one abiding rule that all vendors must adhere to: If you fry it, they will come.

This French Rose Vignette from Jolee's is a beautiful decorative paper craft for any room in your house. Use it as a backdrop to show off your favorite family photo or hang it in the kitchen to add a touch of whimsy and color.
- French Vignette from Jolee's Boutique
- Red Paper Pad from Jolee's Boutique
- Life's Journey 12x12 Paper Pad
- Cutterpede Straight Edge Trimmer
- Scissors
- Tape
- Spray Adhesive
- Backer Board 16x16"
- Select two coordinating papers from the French General red paper pad. The first print will be used as the base of the "quilt" and should match the larger pieces on the sides. The second paper will be used for the corners. If a gingham print is desired, you will find one in K&Company's "Life's Journey" paper pad.
- Set aside a full sheet of the first patterned paper. With the trimmer, cut a second piece of this same patterned paper to make 4 rectangles that are 2" x 12". Using the second patterned paper for the corners, cut 4 squares that are 2" x 2".
- Turn all the pieces over so you are working on the reverse side. Place the full sheet in the center of your workspace. One at a time, butt the side pieces onto the full sheet, aligning the edges, and applying tape along the length of the seam. Lastly, add the corner pieces and tape in the same manner. Check the look on the front.
- Working in a well-ventilated area, lay a large area of newspaper to protect your work space. Apply spray adhesive to the back of the paper quilt, being sure to follow the can's instruction for best results. Lift the paper quilt from the newspaper, turn it over and carefully place it onto your backer board. Gently slide your hands over the paper to smooth out any bubbles and secure it to the backer board. Trim away any excess backer board with a craft knife and a straight edge.
- Working on a clean layer of newspaper, turn your vignette upside down and apply spray adhesive to the back. Lift then place the vignette right side up over the center of your paper quilt. Press in place to secure it.
- You can frame your vignette or display it as is with a ribbon or twine hanger that you adhere to the back of the piece.

What a wonderful, peaceful place.
Perfectly restored and decorated. Bright, comfortable and peaceful. Close to the market and lots of parking if you need it. All the appliances and audio/video that you need. An absolutely charming and healing place.
Best Vacation of Our Lives
This is the best rental property on the Island of Lanai, and we have looked at several. Well appointed, great views, and transportation (both Vehicle and Golf Cart) included to create the perfect stay. The owners are wonderful people and very attentive if there are any questions. The property is adjacent to the Four Seasons hotel, so we highly recommend purchasing the amenity package that allows you to use all of the resort facilities, with discounts offered on many of them. Also included is the use of the private pool for owners, which is a super feature when you simply want to be alone. The card also allows you to set-up an account with your credit card so that you are able to charge as a hotel guest and pay at the end of your stay. This is great because you do not have to lug around your wallet at the pool and beach. All-in-all, this is a wonderful value for a month long stay in paradise. However, you better hurry up and choose your month quickly, because my wife and I plan to stay at least 2-3 months every year!!! Enjoy Paradise!!

The first Registration Operations Association Workshop took place on Thursday, 16 October 2014, at the Los Angeles Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel. I'd like to thank the 64 people that took the time to attend and participate in the discussion, both in-person and remote. I started the workshop with an introduction to some of the technical challenges being faced by the domain registration industry. more»
ICANN have taken a solid stance in regards to contention sets, with those yet to be resolved soon to be forced into auctions of last resort in the coming months. As expected, this has increased the velocity of private settlements between applicants, either via deals or private auctions. It seems like most applicants (wisely) don't want to see their funds going into ICANN coffers unnecessarily. more»
On the morning of Wednesday 15th October, the The Domain Name Association (the DNA) held an important working group meeting during ICANN 51 Los Angeles. The topic was to discuss several operational issues between registries and registrars. The meeting's unofficial ongoing name is the Registry-Registrar Operations Working Group. The meeting was a continuation of an inaugural meeting that was held back in June of this year, and covered in a Industry Association: An Implementation Model circulated by the DNA from September 17, by Executive Director Kurt Pritz. more»
In a series of recent blog posts I've described the technical challenges in registration operations, a proposal for an industry association, and announced an interactive workshop to explore association formation. This is an update on where things stand with the workshop. The first Registration Operations Association Workshop is scheduled for Thursday, 16 October 2014 in the Pacific Palisades room at the Los Angeles Hyatt Regency Century Plaza hotel, the same venue being used for ICANN 51. more»
Today, anyone can use WHOIS to identify the organization or person who registered a gTLD domain name, along with their postal address, email address, and telephone number. Publishing this data has long been controversial, creating a system riddled with problems. On one hand, anonymous access to all WHOIS data enables misuse by spammers and criminals and raises concerns about personal privacy. On the other hand, incomplete or false WHOIS data prolongs Internet outages and leaves crime victims with little recourse. more»
The great promise of the new gTLD programme is not that it will spawn dozens of .COM clones, but rather that it will lead to the creation of a global constellation of unique names embraced by specific interest groups. As an ICANN community, our challenge now is to ensure that the policy framework we've created to manage new gTLDs advances that vision by not penalising the very sorts of domains that the programme was designed to encourage. more»
In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series of blog posts I described the need for a registration operations industry association. At the end of Part 2, I wrote that Part 3 will describe "an opportunity for everyone that's interested in discussing this topic in a live environment." The large number of people attending ICANN 51 in Los Angeles presents the best chance of discussion with many potential participants being in the same place at the same time. Let's take advantage of that proximity. more»
We read carefully Scott Hollenbeck's call to form a Domain Name Industry association to promote consistency in technical operations across the many moving parts of the industry and we, the Board and members of the Domain Name Association, largely agree. More formal coordination among registry operators and domain name registrars would improve the domain name registration experience for registrants and business operations for the domain name industry in general. more»
In Part 1 of this series of blog posts I described the need for an industry association of operators to discuss the technical tasks, such as the development, deployment, and ongoing systems administration of the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), performed by registries and registrars to ensure interoperability and share best practices when providing registration services. In this blog post I'll describe a way to make that happen. more»
Since 2001 there have been occasional conversations on technical mailing lists exploring the concept of creating an independent industry association or consortium of domain registration operators. My recent experiences with the evolution of extensions to the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP) have convinced me to look at these suggestions more closely, and I'm now convinced that this is an idea worth exploring. "Registration Operations" refers to the technical tasks, such as the development, deployment, and ongoing systems administration of EPP, performed by registries and registrars to provide registration services. more»

There is no logic in the argument that to produce Dalit literature one should be born a Dalit ("An Ambedkar for our times," April 2). Indeed, no one is born Dalit or upper caste. All are born humans with the caste tag affixed to them. Rather than arguing over which caste or to whom Dr. Ambedkar belongs to, it would be wise to respect him as the author of the Indian Constitution. Leaders like Gandhiji, Dr. Ambedkar and Mother Teresa do not belong to a particular region, religion or caste. They belong to the entire world.
T. Anand Raj,
The barrage of articles that have been recently written about Dr. Ambedkar all fall before Anand Teltumbde's exposition. The article was well-intentioned. It has not only set the discourse in the right direction but also questioned the reductionist positions intellectuals often take while commenting about Dr. Ambedkar. More importantly, the article should now help intellectuals to treatise on Dr. Ambedkar's vision rather than merely indulging in 'who-is-saying-what about Ambedkar' talk.
Umashanker T.,
Annihilation of the caste system and emancipation not only of Dalits but all Indian citizens, are measures that will have ideological dimensions of a serious and positive kind.
Setting Dr. Ambedkar in a new and active paradigm that can help address contemporary caste issues and politics is the need of the moment. Any movement that envisions the real emancipation of humanity needs to recognise the true worth of human dignity unconditionally, irrespective of his or her birthplace or creed. It is unfortunate that mainstream intellectual indifference can really affect the prospects of Dalit emancipation.
Yasir K.,
Claiming Dr. Ambedkar as the sole possession of Dalits will only defeat the dream he envisaged, of bringing the lower castes to the same level as the upper castes. Dalit leaders should use Dr. Ambedkar's ideology to bridge the divide between the so-called higher and lower castes.
Shivendra Bisht,
New Delhi
The argument that only Dalits can understand and write about their problems might, on the face of it, appear to be correct. But even those belonging to the forward castes and backward classes have been known to empathise with the lot of Dalits. An example would be that of poet, activist and freedom fighter Subramanya Bharathi, who said that it is a sin to talk about the so-called superiority or inferiority of people. There is also nothing wrong in Arundhati Roy writing about important social problems. She has done her best; she is always known to be one who puts forth her views on important social issues without any fear of the consequences.

Great beds and excellent staff. We have stayed at this Super 8 many times over the years and always been pleased.
Review collected in partnership with Super 8
WWe stayed here in November, forgetting the orthopedic dog bed for our service dog. We called the next day, they said the bed was there. We are from the central Oregon Coast & said we couldn't pick it up for at least 10 days...they assured us that the bed would be there and there was no rush picking it up....
Ffrst of all we are not Liars or theives. Did we leave your dog bed behind and not claim it until almost 3 weeks later? No we did not. You came to pick the bed up 3 weeks later and it was not here. We offered to go and get it for you which was a 45 min round trip,...

My wife and son headed to Long Beach for the first time while on vacation. With such great reviews we thought that Super 8 would be a positive experience.
