I saw this picture one time that your comment made me think of. It said something along the lines of "I hate it when people take my glasses and say 'wow, you really cant see'. Well no **** , You don't see me taking a crippled man's wheelchair and saying 'wow, you really can't walk'. "

Last Star Trek Episode You Watched

Re: Last Star Trek Episode You Watched
TOS episodes from the Captain's Log DVD set. Classics, City on the Edge and Balance of Terror. Enterprise Incident rounding off the fan picks.
Broke in a brand new 40" Panasonic plasma TV, after my 28" Sony CRT finally gave up the ghost. Settled on that over a Sony LCD, because it handled standard def far better (most of Star Trek and other things I watch are still in that after all and will be, for quite a while yet I'd imagine). Panasonic had less glare and better range of picture settings to adjust between than a Sony which seemed to treat anything but HD very harshly.
Amazing and I haven't even got around to any blu ray of the series yet. Dipped into a TNG episode showing on a satellite channel, CBS Action but it looked absolutely awful. I'm hopeful that series on DVD will hold up better than wherever their copies are from. The non-enhanced TOS ones proved okay, so I guess I'll soon see.

New Richmond Football Community Night draws large numbers
With more than 300 players and coaches from grades 1-12 in attendance, the second annual New Richmond Football Community Night showed the growing interest in the community for football.
The event is a convergence of the football program. All of the younger players got to play and practice on the varsity football field at the New Richmond Middle School. And for many of the kids, they got to go through a series of football drills, with the varsity football players instructing them.

have: have : fall 2010 etps karen's list
Hi all.
I haven't gotten much of my list together yet but am working on it. Just wanted to get a post started to let you know I plan on coming.
May have if they root in time:
Pink Jasmine vine
Mona Lavender Plectranthus
Clematis(I can't remember which one)most likely purple blooms.
Indoor plants:
small cactus
Mother-in-Law's Tongue
Hummingbird Vine
Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine
Blackeyed Susan
Yep, Mona is beautiful.
Landscapers sometimes use it instead of the usual bedding type plants. It seems to bloom in the spring and fall, AND is easy to grow and root. So I could even bring cuttings if someone wanted a few.
With the temps getting so cool at night now I'm thinking some things are going to have to be moved to the greenhouse soon.
Hi Karen! I am interested in the purple hyacinth bean vine, hummingbird vine and pink jasmine. Take a look at my list and see if there is anything that you are interested in. I will be adding more as the week goes on - hopefully with some pictures to go with it. :D
Hope you have had a great summer!
Karen, you can add pics with the following HTML code...
img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg" width=600>
Just replace http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg with the actual image location address and use whatever width you want to make the pictures fit nicely on your page (600 is probably the upper recommended limit in most cases). Do keep a couple of things in mind...Consider the sources of your pictures and any copyright/usage limitations on their images. Also, use smaller resolution images to limit download time to within reason for those with slower connections. Email me if you have ANY questions at all and I'll try to help.

Full time workers are forced to skateboard as the only medication to relieve the 9-5 monotony of work. Ok maybe that is a little much, but its one good bastard of a skate film.

Feb. 11, 2012 – Through the efforts of the University Libraries, Virginia Tech is now an institutional member of BioMed Central . This will enable authors affiliated with the university to qualify for a 15% discount on article processing charges for any of over 200 peer-reviewed, open access journals available from BioMed Central. By actively supporting open access through this membership, the University Libraries hope to make it easier for Virginia Tech authors to make the results of their research freely available online without any barriers to access. There are currently 138 members of BioMed Central in the United States and some 379 worldwide.
As the name suggests, BioMed Central has a strong focus on journals in biology and medicine. However, our participation in BioMed Central also includes similar benefits with two partner initiatives. Chemistry Central offers open access journals in chemistry. SpringerOpen includes a growing range of open access journals across all areas of science and technology. All three of these offer some important incentives for authors, for example, authors retain copyright to their work and can post and redistribute it in a variety of ways. Questions can be directed to Ed Lener.

Great post, Shel. And terrific counter-argument. I would also add that when you consider investment into the so-called "collaborative economy" companies like Uber and others, which are highly dependent on social sharing, ratings, and data, then you have an even stronger argument for the resiliance of "social."
Jeremiah Owyang, of course, is brilliant on this subject.

Make mint juleps with peppermint extract?
I plan to make mint juleps this weekend for a crowd, and don't believe I'll have enough fresh mint. Has anyone used peppermint extract or another substitute? If so, do you have a recipe to share?
And...what bourbon do you prefer?
Thank you!
I wish I could give you some!!
Doesn't take a lot....just a sprig per julep.
I am not a bourboney bourbon fan....so I prefer a blended whisky....like Canadian Club!!LOL! But Jim Beam works and isn't a fortune.
Muddle 1/2 tsp of sugar with a sprig of mint and about 1 tsp water in the bottom of a glass.....fill with chrushed ice and fill with bourbon and top with another sprig.
Drink slowly....because they will put you on your ear!
Linda C
Linda C. and everyone else who keeps saying "no": The problem is that not EVERYONE can get fresh mint leaves. It is not often sold in my local market and when it is, it's usually sold out.
Then don't even get me started about when I lived in Alaska (I was in Alaska when I first joined this forum, but had a different user name). It was hardly offered up there and when it was, it was so expensive that I couldn't afford it.
I just wish people would get that not all of us live in a city or in the burbs. Just because a lot of you do, don't assume that the world does as well.
I don't mean this as harsh as it sounds, I'm just trying to point out that when we ask about substitutes we're not doing it because we just don't feel like getting the original. We're asking for a reason.

Monthly Program:
Please join us Wednesday, April 15, 2015 at 7:00pm at Fuller Lodge (Los Alamos) for a presentation by Sean O'Rourke, a Los Alamos native and peak-bagger.
Since escaping graduate school in 2009, Sean has traveled and climbed the mountain west from Baboquivari in Arizona to Robson in Canada, living on the road for half the year and writing about the experience at drdirtbag.com. Though he occasionally brings ropes, tents, and partners, he usually climbs peaks solo and car-to-car in a day. Among his most "extreme" outings, he has climbed all 15 of California's 14,000-foot peaks in 62 hours, summited Mount Robson in 15, and traversed the Kaweah peaks in 19.
In his talk, he will describe how he progressed from ordinary dayhikes in Colorado and California to longer and steeper endeavors. He will argue that most mountaineers can climb most peaks in a single day, and that with sufficient motivation and moderate skill, any peak in the lower 48 is a dayhike. The talk will describe trips to some of the most remote peaks in the Cascades, including the northern and southern Pickets.
The Los Alamos Mountaineers meetings offer, in addition to the featured talk, refreshments and casual conversation, as well as updates on upcoming trips and safety advice learned from outdoor adventuring. Please join us!

Monthly Public Meeting and Presentation:
Past presentations, and occasionally future, can be viewed here.
Future Club Speakers: In addition to frequent presentations by nationally known adventurers, we love to hear from our own members....not that some of you aren't in that group. A presentation gets you a free club membership and dinner at the restaurant of your choice in Los Alamos.
LAM Member Presentations Wanted! The LAM Board would like to encourage our members to provide more of our monthly presentations. We understand well that club members are an active lot, with a wealth of activities in their repertoire that can and have been inspiring to new and old members alike. We have often focused our monthly presentations on the elite of the outdoor adventure world, and perhaps created the undesired effect of squelching the voices of our own members who participate in frequent beautiful and exciting adventures of their own. Although our own activities are not always "world class", they are representative of what we "weekend" athletes can and do accomplish. We want many of our programs to inspire the "I can do that" attitude in our members, not merely entertain. Shock and awe may have their rightful place, but inspiration to participate and shine is our true goal.
Trip Leaders: Post your trip by logging in and then going here. Please make sure waivers for participants are current and recorded by the club Secretary prior to your trip. In addition, the "Los Alamos Mountaineer's Trip Sign-Up Sheet" includes the trip waiver, and should be used for all club sponsored trips.
Trip Leader Awards: The club is grateful to those who lead our outdoor adventures. As a token of appreciation, our awards will be a series of caps and hats with the Club logo. To encourage first-time trip leaders, we will award a first hat to anyone who leads a Club trip. In more detail, we will recognize trip leaders as described here.
GMRS / FRS Radio Usage on Club Trips: The Los Alamos Mountaineers encourage you to carry portable "family" radios as a safety measure on appropriate LAM trips, and urge participants to agree on a contact channel at the beginning of the trip. As a default, if no channel has been selected, LAM suggests channel 3.14. These three first digits of "pi" might be easily remembered in this scientific community.
Borrow Equipment: We have a limited amount of mountaineering equipment for loan (e.g., avalanche transceivers). Contact Alex Adams, our Equipment Manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com
The 2015 Climbing School runs from March 26th through May 2th.
(registration is open for 2015!)
(See Detailed Schedule for more information.)
The class fills quickly with only 25 seats, so early registration is recommended.
This includes 6 Thursday nights, and 6 Saturdays; some 36-40 hours of instruction. The Los Alamos Mountaineers Climbing School is a great way to learn about technical rock climbing and mountaineering. The school should offer a good experience to:
Hints: You must log in to sign up for trips or to post new trips!

Great pricing if you are outside the EU and your size in stock
Which leads me to the questions I posted a while ago: do you know if EG will do full shearling lining (as opposed to just the shaft) for a MTO/top drawer, preferably in zug grain and Veldtschoen?
Would be
Thanks in advance,
Very interesting, thanks a lot for your reply! Indeed, I have heard the term Heather Gorse used about EG's zug grain, so this is no doubt the stuff. Do you know which colour(s) they stock? I'm not inclined towards a top drawer per se, I'm just inclined to anything that would make EG consider doing a full shearing lining. So I thought (read: hoped) that the extra payment of the top drawer might make them consider it.
My idea is to make a battle ship of a winter boot in Heather Gorse and suede (preferably tan shades), as much shearling lining as possible, ridgeway sole and obviously Veldtschoen. I think it would be awesome.
Thanks a lot!

I am not a fan of the scent. This would be good a pinch for volume at the crown & a wee bit of texture (grit) elsewhere. But I can't use this daily as it will start ti leave your hair feeling too gritty & dirty. So yes....it is nice to have. No, I can't use it on a regular basis. Hot rollers gI've my fone wavy locks more lift & life than this. I doubt I would repurchase especially at its ridiculous price. If it were a drugstore price, I might keep a small bottle around.

Okay, so I haven't used this in a while, but I remember from when I DID own it, I loved the smell, but wasn't sure if it was actually doing anything to my hair. I do remember it having that fun, messy look, but it didn't seem to stick throughout the day. My hair is VERY fine and thin/wispy, so I have to be cautious with every product that I put in my hair. Maybe I'll try this again soon.

I cringe everytime I buy this, but I have to say it is worth every penny. I've tried so many drugstore and cheaper texturizing products, and this tops them all. I have very course Asian straight hair that is very hard to texturize without being weighed down, and this works perfectly. I have shoulder length hair that loses volume at the crown sometimes, and a little spray at the roots makes my hair come to life. I also like to spray random strands and then just tease my hair with my hands so it looks a little 'lived in.' Dry shampoos don't come anywhere close to giving my hair the texture I need, despite it also being a spray product. I'm not one to buy expensive hair products, but I will be purchasing this over and over. The scent is a little strong, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Yuck! I purchased the small purse size can of this, and glad I did. I was only out $25.00 instead of $42.00. First of all the smell. I can't put my finger on it, but I smelled this before. It is a really strong floral fragrance that smells cheap and lasts all day. That's not a good thing either.
I have short hair with a lot of layers that I like to have some structure. I was hoping this product would help with that. I could not even get the product to come out of the can. I kept squeezing the top, and finally got some to come out.
It comes out like a dry shampoo, and did nothing to help hold up my layers. It might be good for oily hair, but I have dry hair. It did nothing for my hair except make it smell bad for the better part of the day.

My natural hair is thick and straight (asian hair), and I've tried many products when it comes to volume and texture, trying to find the ones that would actually keep my hair looking volumized/adds texture that lasts throuhout the day.
This really gives you the Victoria's Secret texture look, and it also adds some volume to my thick/straight hair. If you want the full-on look, I would recommend using this together with Oribe's Surfcomber mousse as well.
I really like that this product doesn't contain any sodium chloride (such as lots of texturizing sprays may do), so it doesn't damage or dry out the hair. Sure it's oh so-expensive, but you get what you pay for. People have recommended the Sebastian texturizer to me, but Oribe's is just so much better, and actually gives you that perfectly tossled look, without damaging your hair in the process.
Even though my hair is quite dark (black/brown) ish, this doesn't leave any white-powdered marks. Also, the hair still feels soft with the product in, and you don't get that stiff/chalky feeling.
So, to add up:
Great texture, some volume, no sodium chloride, amazing scent, soft hair that you actually can comb through, and it leaves no white marks.
I give this 4/5, the only con being that it really didn't give me that much volume.

Omg it's the one product I can not live without. I panic if I'm close to being out or if I don't have the travel size one. This stuff is amazing and it works AND it smells amazing! I can go 5 days without washing my hair with this stuff and it does not weigh your hair down. I spray it in my roots to ends. Works best the following days after using the maxinista (sp).

Read a lot of great reviews on this product and decided to give it a try. It did do a good job of adding texture and volume to my hair. However, I just couldn't get past the smell. After using this product on my hair you couldn't even smell my perfume, all you could smell was this strong, unpleasant odor. I'm a perfume junkie and I quit using this product because I no longer smelled great. Seriously, I could smell this stuff until I washed my hair!

Be forewarned that I am an Oribe junkie so I'm completely biased. I love everything that this product does for my straight, coarse, thick hair. I spray it all over to give volume and texture, not to mention that the scent is AMAZINGGG. My hair is thick/heavy so I still need to tease my roots in order to maintain any kind of volume, but this acts as a great base before teasing.
I would say this acts like a hairspray without the stickiness and tackiness. Yes it does give your hair that grimy texture, but it's a texturizing spray, what do you expect! I also use this on days when I skip on shampooing, and this helps de-grease the greasy areas on my head.

Am I a mouse, a sausage or a pencil? Hedbanz for Kids features a selection of cartoon animals, food and household items. Each child wears a card in their specially devised Hedbanz and then has to guess what s on their head by asking a series of searching questions, where the answer can only be yes or no. As well as being great fun, the game, which contains prompt cards to help first time players get underway, teaches children to consider what question they need to ask in order to help them guess the answer. Each player can ask as many questions as they like before the timer runs out. The player who gets rid of all their cards first is the winner.

About the Program
Finance is concerned with securing, managing, and investing money. These functions are carried out within the context of a profit-seeking firm, a non-profit entity or a government agency. Study in this area focuses on banking procedures, bank accounts, loan, interest credit, trusts, investments, accounting procedures, budget and financing and security.
A concentration in finance is achieved by completion of the following program with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0: Economics 232, Business Administration 242, 342, 442 plus three units selected from Economics 242, 247, 252, or Business Administration 142, 315, 322, 341, 345, and 416. Admission to the concentration requires an overall grade point average of 2.0 and a 2.0 grade point average in all courses that are prerequisites to concentration courses.

I've been meaning to post something on a chart from a Fraser Institute report for a while but slept on it. The chart comes from Fraser's annual Consumer Tax Report and is supposed to show the different paths taken by how much households pay in taxes and how much they spend on basic goods like food and housing.
In one way, this chart represents a good news story for the right. Capitalism is fulfilling one of its major promises: the cost of the basic goods is decreasing relative to household budgets – in the aggregate, which given an increasingly unequal (Read more…)

There is much interest in the field of environmental sensing and especially in large-scale deployments of chemical sensors in sensor networks. These types of large-scale deployments can only happen when the sensor nodes are essentially self-sustaining in terms of all consumables, e.g., energy and reagents, for many years. One example of a chemical sensor is the autonomous phosphate system developed by the Adaptive Sensors Group [3]. This system measures the quantity of phosphate present in water samples. When a phosphate-containing sample is mixed with an acidic reagent containing ammonium molybdate and ammonium metavanadate, the intensity of the resulting yellow colour indicates the amount of phosphate in the original sample. Monitoring a colour change can be completed using a variety of simple technologies including, photodiodes, LEDS Fig. 1 – The wireless sensor node and CMOS. The Adaptive Sensors Group has used LED optical sensors to monitor a range of colorimetric analytical Sensor nodes performed samples and reported sensor data at methods, e.g., iron(II), cadmium(II) and lead(II), solution pH, a frequency of 0.5 Hz.

An experiment to simultaneously monitor the reaction time of the wireless sensor nodes and the wireless camera sensor was carried out. The low volume chemical sensor testing chamber (13 L) has been developed for testing of small scale (1–6 nodes) WCSNs to known contaminant concentrations (see Fig. Low volume environmental 3). The target contaminant is added via an injection port at the testing chamber top of the chamber. An internal 12 V fan distributes the Mote 1 contaminant vapour evenly throughout the test chamber. Materials Sensor Holder The colorimetric sensing polymer was prepared by dissolving the pH indicator bromophenol blue (BPB) into a solution of ethyl cellulose in ethanol. In order to prepare an Camera acidic responsive sensing polymer, it was necessary to stabilise the BPB in the blue base form. This was achieved by adding PC the salt tetrahexylammonium bromide (THABr), which acts as a solid state pH buffer, to the polymer formulation. This colorimetric sensing polymer was applied in two different ways: (1) the polymer was placed onto the surface a Fig. 4 – Layout of equipment during the experiment. plastic transparency sheet (to be used with the camera-based sensor).

Sensor nodes are placed at the side of the environmental sensing chamber. During the experiment as more of the gas is added the response of the sensors increases. A simple image analysis technique was used to process the images from the wireless camera whereby the average RGB values for regions of interest were used. The red values for the reference region of interest were subtracted from the sensor region of interest.

The Wild Duck Chase
The Wild Duck Chase: Inside the Strange and Wonderful World of the Federal Duck Stamp Contest takes readers into the peculiar world of competitive duck painting as it played out during the 2010 Federal Duck Stamp Contest-the only juried art competition run by the U.S. government. Since 1934, the duck stamp, which is bought annually by hunters to certify their hunting license, has generated more than $750 million, and 98 cents of each collected dollar has been used to help purchase or lease 5.3 million acres of waterfowl habitat in the U.S.-the core of the National Wildlife Refuge System.
As Martin Smith chronicles within the microcosm of the duck stamp contest are intense ideological and cultural clashes between the mostly rural hunters who buy the stamps and the mostly suburban and urban birders and conservationists who decry the hunting of waterfowl. Martin Smith is editor-in-chief of Orange Coast Magazine.
