Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
As the largely Catholic population has taken to the streets to protest the government's sanctions on same-sex marriage, an entirely different assault on marriage is taking place. Ashley Madison, a Canadian extra-marital dating website has begun to post advertisements in prominent places. The Web site's slogan is simply "Life is short. Have an affair."

Keywords: Adultery, same-sex marriage, France, leaflets, Web site, leaflets
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - One advertisement depicts a married woman placing her forefinger over her lips, to signify discretion with the following tagline: "It's 6 pm. Do you know where your wife is?"
Ashley Madison's first campaign was shunned by advertisers for fear of being sued by a former French president, who just so happened to have affair and was featured in the ad. The current poster is visible on no less than 100 metro platforms in Paris.
As France 24's Caroline Clarkson points out, the people who manage the advertising in the metro are the same ones who made Jacques Tati appear without his pipe due to strict anti-smoking regulations.
Clarkson notes the contradiction with the hordes of anti-gay marriage advocates taking to the streets at the same time, while the Web site offered an entirely different attack upon traditional marriage.
"Clearly visible to children and teenagers," Clarkson said, the ads were "cheerfully encouraging people to break their marriage vows. What seems particular scandalous is the idea that woman are being encouraged to deliberately look for an affair by signing up for the Web site.
"Luckily, I'm not the only one in France who has noticed that the ancient institution of marriage involving a man and a woman, to whom the anti-gay marriage activists seem so attached, is no longer what it was. Back in November 2012, French journalist Christophe Barbier, the managing editor of center-right magazine L'Express, penned an editorial in which he announced his support for the government's bill.
"While backing equal marriage rights for same-sex couples, Barbier declared that marriage itself is an 'obsolete institution.' He added: 'In the era of globalization and of the fulfilled and mobile individual, this norm [of marriage] is as artificial as it is inefficient, as shown by the fact that divorce has become commonplace.' He finished on the following note: 'Civil unions for all!'"
In the meantime, anti-same sex marriage activists are busy leafleting cities and towns. On reads "This bill intends to challenge the basis of human identity: sexual difference and the filiations that results from it.
"The people of France must rise up for their children, their future, and our humanity, made up of a man and a woman!"

how large is too large to keep in a pot
sunnytopMarch 30, 2008
I have an alberta spruce topiary 5' tall in a 12" tall and 18"diameter pot. Last fall there was about 1/2" of allowance in the pot before the roots grew to the edge of the pot. My son thinks I am going to need to plant it into the ground at some point, because even if I keep repotting into larger pots, it will soon outgrow even the largest pot and will not survive for more than a couple years out of the ground. Any thoughts on that?

Historical Traveler Reviews Menzies Welcombe Hotel & Golf Course Stratford-upon-Avon
Second stay and just as good
Another two night stay for business - I got the four poster bed this time! very comfortable hotel with attentive service. Breakfast is excellent (even as room service).
One thing to AVOID is the lunch they serve in meeting rooms. It is the worst value party food I have ever eaten. There were 6 of us in a meeting and they charged �17.95 a head for what amounted to a few pizza slices and a plate of deep fried breaded nibbles. Dreadful, but this is not indicative of the restaurant food which is excellent.
If you want to avoid the overpriced hotel restaurant then get a taxi (10 minutes) to Baraset Barn in Tiddington. Excellent gastropub in wonderful relaxed surroundings.
Definitely stay there again!
Stayed there for two nights in March 2005 for the bank holiday weekend. We arrived in the afternoon and checked into a room in the main building. The size of the room was average, but the bathroom was big with new and modern fittings. The grounds were beautifully kept, and we wandered around the hills in the afternoon. Stratford-upon-Avon was only a 20 minute walk away along the roadside. We booked the dinner, bed and breakfast package online, and it was such an excellent offer. The dinner had 5 courses and the portions were way too big for me (I'm a 5"3 size 6/8 girl). Even then, it took a lot of willpower not to try and eat all the food I was given because everything was so delicious. Breakfast was fantastic. We got a table by the window that overlooked their garden. The a la carte breakfast (included in the package) was sumptuous, and they definitely do the best scrambled eggs I've come across. Smoked haddock might appear as an odd thing to have for breakfast, but I was glad I had it. For dinner I was even slightly disappointed that they had changed the menu because I couldn't decide on what to have the previous night and thought I'd be able to have it on the second. Again, the service, the wine, and the food were faultless. I'd definitely go back again, and would recommend their DBB package.
Great stay
I stayed at this hotel as part of package which included 2 rounds of golf, not only did this package respresent excellent value, but I found the hotel to be of a high standard.
The rooms where clean and of an good to average size, the staff helpful and accomodating. The menu was varied and the food well presented, and would have no hesitation in returning to this hotel
Great room, good food & service - couldn't fault it!
Checked in at 10.45pm on a sunday evening in preparation for a 2 day meeting being held at the hotel. Receptionist was welcoming - didn't even have to tell her my name as I was the last to check in & she greeted me by name!
Room 3 on the ground floor was fab. Large bedroom with the bed all turned down ready for my late arrival. Fluffy towelling robes and high quality toiletries. Large bathroom with a really deep bath and powerful shower. Perfectly clean.
Room service sandwich (at 11pm on the Sunday) and breakfast was spot-on as was dinner in the Trevelyan restaurant. Attentive service from unobtrusive waiters.
Lovely warm cosy surroundings in the lounge.
Hotel seemed to be popular with well-to-do golfing crowd - plenty of posh cars in the car park!
My ONLY complaint would be that room 3 is not a good room to be in if you tend to walk around hotel rooms in the nude. The lack of net curtains in both the bedroom and the bathroom could have been potentially devastating (especially as golfers were using the path that passed by the window!!). You had to have the curtains closed in the bathroom during the day unless you wanted to parade yourself sat on the toilet!!
My Perfect Wedding Day
Absolutely wonderful service, excellent food and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
Unfortunately the hotel seems to be marketed to business users so the weekend is vitally deserted but as a local we knew this was the most attractive view in the whole of Stratford, it would be a shame to miss it.
Valentine heaven
We stayed here during the valentines weekend and found it amazing. When you first view the hotel going up the driveway it is breathtaking and makes you feel part of the jetset! The grounds were beautiful and they had a wonderful log fire that you could curl up sitting by.
The hotel staff were friendly and accomodating. The restaurant food was ok and staff perhaps a little undertrained but that may be because it was a very busy weekend.
The hotel is in a good location from Stratford upon Avon centre and close to Warwick Castle which we visited.
The only downsides were that the rooms were quite small and we were given a zipped up twin bed rather than a double. Plus they didn't have a gym / spa that was advertised on the wedbiste I booked on.
Other than that is was an amazing stay and very memorable. I hope to visit again and experience the hotels luxurious surrounding...
A Terrible Shame
For such a beautiful hotel in such beautiful grounds I have never come across such unaccomodating staff. For a 4 star hotel we certainly wern't made to feel as if we were the customer.The hotel was nearly empty and I can see why.
Superb country house with wonderfully kept grounds!
The Welcombe Hotel is a nice country house with wonderfully kept grounds. Reception staff and the concierge were extremely friendly and helpful. You will definitely need a car to tour the area or even visit the Stratford-upon-Avon town centre as the hotel is >3km (2 miles) away. The hotel restaurant also provided excellent meals with generous portions and room service was quick and comparatively cheap. Only letdowns were the absence of a gym and VERY inexperienced and undertrained restaurant and bar staff.
Absoloutely Great
I loved this hotel - beautiful grounds, excellent, excellent service....
Beautiful hotel, beautiful grounds. Rooms are on the small size w/o air conditioning but windows are big and breeze was blowing through. Staff was very helpful definitely worth a stay!!

"If I lost my people today . . . it would take me probably 20 years to reconstitute the National Security Agency that I know and love today," he said. On the contrary, Inglis speculated, to replace what he called all the "machinery" at the agency wouldn't take more than a few years.
The exact number of the agency's employee is classified, but it's "somewhere between 37,000 and one billion" joked Inglis, whose April 15 keynote on leadership kicked off the Federal Senior Management Conference held in Cambridge, Md.
Inglis also emphasized the importance of a diverse workforce in the federal government, saying NSA is "probably the biggest employer of introverts."
"If you at their first encounter embrace [introverts], celebrate them . . you will get their best efforts forever," added Inglis, a self-proclaimed introvert who said it took him many years to become comfortable in situations that required him to take on a leadership role and be more outgoing.

When you store your earbuds in your pocket or backpack, they typically go in neatly folded like a new pair of shoelaces, but come out looking more like a ball of dried out spaghetti. This small and durable plastic contraption is designed to keep your headphones organized and detangled as they go in and out of your pocket.
When I saw these, I thought they were too simple to be of any real use. However, I just got back from a trip where I used these to pack a backup set of earbuds.
Found that they worked well, fit into a pocket of my bag easily and when I lost my other set of earbuds they were nice to have available. I would definitely buy these for a gym bag or travel bag.

cayenne peppers.......help on drying
Can I dry peppers in the oven, and if so what temp and how long?
Very expensive way to dry peppers. A dehydrator would make more sense. An oven doesn't offer warm air movement, and most ovens cannot control the temperatures below about 200 degrees, far to hot for most drying. You don't want to bake them. Also, the faster the item dries, the more flavor and color it retains. Dehydrators are easy to find and there are many that offer fans as well as just simple low wattage heater coils.
A convection oven would move air for drying, but not all convection ovens have a low enough temperature.
There is another issue. If you dry peppers in the house, you're going to fill the air with pepper fumes. Believe me, it's not an enjoyable atmosphere. It would be better to dry in a garage, or if the weather allows (not damp) on a covered patio, etc.
There are inexpensive dehydrators stores like Wal-Mart carry that would definitely be worth looking into.
Recently, a Tai resturant in NY was drying some very hot peppers to be used in some very spicy dishes. Apparently the fumes were so strong the neighborhood had to be evacuated, and the fire deparment was called in. Needless to say there wasn't much they could do, until the fumes went away.
If you are not in a hurry and want to go on the cheap, you can always air dry Cayenne peppers.
Unlike Jalapenos that have a thick skin that results in rotting before drying when using an air dry method, Cayenne are thin skinned and easy to dry in a relatively warm spot with good air circulation.
You could make a decorative ristra and hang it in a sunny window. IÂve included a link below. Of course a dehydrator works great and is faster but, you wonÂt have the enjoyment of watching your nice red peppers dry naturally.
Just an option,
Here is a link that might be useful: Ristras
IÂm sorry, after posting my response I realized that I did not directly answer your question. If your oven can keep a 150F temperature, this would be the setting to dry peppers over a 12 Â 17 hour period. Of course, convection is the best route if you have the option.
Trust me, as ksrogers and Carol have mentioned, this would not be your optimum method to dry them. I heavily smoked some jalapeño peppers for five hours and put them in the oven at 150 overnight to finish drying. Suffice to say that my significant other did not appreciate the fact that our place smelled like it burnt down in the morning. The hot pepper aroma on top of the smoke smell in the kitchen didnÂt make things any better! LOL
So if you really want to use your oven, 150F is the temperature for 15 hours to thoroughly dry (my best guess).
Best of luck which ever way you go.
Peppers usually mold before they air-dry here in Missouri. However, cayennes are one of those varieties that have a chance of succeeding.
I have a friend in New York state that is experimenting dehydrating whole pods packed in salt. He reports that it is going well.
Some peppers are easier than others to dry outside - but unless you have the sunny days when the peppers finally ripen, it poses quite a problem.
I'm still working on outside drying and have had a bit of success with the Thai types - they are small and seem to dry OK without molding inside.
On the other hand, some of the larger ones will dry if they are split in two - but even then must be watched for mold every day. Also the hot sun will cook them, rather than dry.
I've had some luck with ristrau types, but must watch for weather - especially later in the season when hot temps can cook them.
My little operation consisted of 2 window screens butterflied together with space inside to slide the peppers between. I also rigged a very small fan to blow indirectly on them - during the day.
I managed to dry almost all of my ancho types that way - and went on to process them into enchilada sauce. It turned out great - I might add (my GD said so too), and I was able to add a few more hot types to spice things up a bit.
I still have quite a few large ancho and some blocky types drying on my window sill - the last of the garden - and they seem to be surviving OK. I will cut into them to see if there is any mold - if so, they will be opened and exposed a bit more.
Not sure if this is helpful - I'm still learning, but thought I would share.
Here it was a lousy gardening summer and the rainiest fall in 10 years. If I tried to air-dry peppers they'd just rot. Heck, forget the peppers molding. At this rate, I'll be molding.
Gee, Carol, only a hundred miles south we're practically in a drought. It has been really strange to watch all the storms hit you guys and we don't get a drop sometimes.
Like yesterday, it only sprinkled a couple of times here.
Last night we got almost a 1/4" though.....
I've been wishing we hadn't had the 3 days of frost in September........maybe more tomatoes and peppers could have ripened on the vine. :+(
We finally had a small shower. Funny thing - the weather forecasters really gave a big "hoot-de-do" about it. You would have thought we were in for a big flood or something - but maybe the back country got some, but wish they could be a bit more specific about these "alarming" forecasts.
At least it washed the dirt (outfall from cars) off the fruit trees - often wondered just how much the trees can withstand (carbon emissions), without being damaged.
My tomato crop was a bust - it was overcast right up until late August - then heat - but that was when the peppers started coming red ripe, so we lucked out there.
Started fall planting - with temps in the 60-80 range - but have shaded most of them. Lots of peppers still looking strong, so may try to start a bed of perennials with them. If I don't need to replant next year, that will make gardening a bit easier. Need all the help I can get from now on - as the saying goes. It probably won't be necessary to plant anyway, as I preserved quite a bit this year. I do like that every 2 year "rule" that canners/preservers go by.
Just my 2 c's.
I have found a wonderfully quick and efficient way to dry red peppers, small quanities atleast. A week and a half ago I pulled my last peppers off the plant before the frost. I laid them across the top of my 42" flat screen tv. with in a week they were almost dry. 8-10 days total dried em completely. The tv was left on overnight on occasions, maybe 60% of the time. The peppers were dried whole and uncut with the stem attached.

Making VCDs using Kino
Thank you, authors, for this article in Linux Journal. I was looking for a manual for Kino or an introduction to setting up and using Kino to transfer my DV files from a Canon GL1 to the computer and then
create a VCD to play in a stand alone DVD player. I have used the DV Titler software addon and was able to dub some music using the Audio Dub function as detailed in the article. Thanks. I ripped 41000Khz audio WAV file from an audio CD using the command line tool CDParanoia. Then read in the whole track ( 2+ minute length) to audio tool Audacity where I could make a 30 second cut for export in a 48000 16bit Microsoft WAV file. I dubbed this music into the silent DV title I created inside KINO.
Here is my sample shell commands that I used to export from Kino.
For making an VCD CD disk tested and works November 30, 2004
HTML Links that have helpful directions for creating a VCD.
#In Kino, select the Standard VCD export format menu item from the export MPEG menu selection.
#note that the option choices in the menu window for mpeg1, standard VCD, don't seem to change from Generic MPEG, VCD, standard VCD, user SCVD, through DVD.
# from the standard mplex -v 0
# I will ask the Kino forum about this behaviour
# Please comment below if you find better options to use for the mpeg encoding option strings video "mpeg2enc -v 0", audio "mp2enc -v 0", "mplex -v 0"
# if you uncheck the "Cleanup" Box on the export MPEG menu
# then you may manually execute the steps to create the videocd.bin an d videocd.cue files. When using Kino 0.7.4 an extra equal sign '=' was added to the name created for the video file.
example myfilename=.mpv This bug was fixed in Kino version 0.7.5
# manually create a VCD CD-R cdrom disk to play on DVD player
mplex -f 1 myfilem1.mp2 myfilem1.mpv -o video.m1s
vcdimager video.m1s
cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --speed 4 --driver generic-mmc videocd.cue
For making an SVCD CD disk This has not been fully tested, by me
to work. The resulting Mpeg2 file was played on an Windows XP computer. Standalone DVD players seem to want an empty SEGMENT directory.
mplex -f 2 myfiletest.mp2 myfiletest.mpv -o video.m2s
#simple version of vcdimager
vcdimager -t svcd video.m2s
# use this vcdimager command below to make a more compatible SVCD for standalone DVD players
vcdimager -t svcd --broken-svcd-mode --add-dir=/SEGMENT result.mpg
# check for the created files videocd.bin and videocd.cue with "ls" directory listing command.
ls -l v*
# now write the videocd.bin file to a blank CD. Use slower speed writing to make sure than the DVD player can read the resulting CD-R CDROM disk. I have used speeds of 4 and 8 with sucess.
cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --speed 4 --driver generic-mmc videocd.cue
Great FOSS tool for video. KINO, thanks to the authors for this article and all the comments on the KINO forum website.
Hope to see more comments here on uses of KINO. WEB Links to example MPEG1 video created with KINO. More tests and examples of creating SVCD or XCD disks for playing in DVD players.

Chris Algieri will come fully prepared to make use of his full arsenal to secure his victory against eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 22 in Macau. Even though Pacquiao is a heavy favourite in the upcoming fight, Algieri, who is the reigning World Boxing Organisation (WBO) light welterweight champion is confident that he has what it takes to crush and upset Pacquiao in the boxing ring.
On Aug. 11, Algieri posted a picture of him at the gym. He has been doing a lot of training to get in shape just in time for the big match in November.
#monday morning gym shot...Training camp is for getting better-not getting IN shape. #alwaysinshape #fitness #nike pic.twitter.com/sRhWyyGcd1
— Chris Algieri (@ChrisAlgieri) August 11, 2014
In a recent interview with Boxing Scene, Algieri made it known to his critics that he is coming prepared for the fight and he will not make it easy for Pacquiao. He added that he took the fight not for the "payday" and not just to fight one of the most successful boxers of the current generation but to "win."
"I'm coming to win this fight and I'm going to be fully prepared on fight night," Algieri told Boxing Scene.
"Anyone who is looking past that fact doesn't know me and doesn't know anything about me, and that I belong to be here," Algieri added.
Algieri has plenty of time to study Pacquiao's boxing skills before the fight night but he was reportedly leaving it to his coach Tim Lane. In another interview, Algieri revealed that his coach has been watching and reviewing some of Pacquiao's fights. He said the wasn't really very passionate about watching Pacquiao's tapes because he has been watching the Filipino boxer for a long time and even admitted that he's fan of the eight-division world champion.
"I don't have to do much studying, I'd leave that to the team."
Algieri is coming from consecutive victories in 2014 against Emmanuel Taylor and Ruslan Provodnikov in February and June, respectively. Algieri scored a split decision against Taylor and a unanimous decision against Provodnikov.

Young people are spending less time consuming news than previous generations, according to Pew Research Center.
Even if you haven't heard of Super PACs, you've seen an ad funded by one. These "independent-expenditure only committees" can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money as they attempt to influence American politics.
Overall, Super PACs have raised roughly $300 million in the 2014 election cycle and already spent a third of it.
Now, there is a new movement by some of the Super PACs to try and stop the cash flow into American politics.
But why now, and how can one PAC stop another? Here and Now's Robin Young speaks to Here & Now media analyst John Carroll about this emerging movement.

A set of wrappings for eyeglass ear and nose pieces to be applied by the eyeglass wearer. The wrappings are precut from a thin elastic material having a textured latex coating and shaped to be wrapped in an overlapping manner along the ear pieces of eyeglasses. A pair of nose pad covers is also provided, precut in a manner which allows the material to be stretched and folded around an eyeglass nose piece. The material providing non-slip resistance, moisture absorbency and dissipation and padding for extra sensitive skin.
1. A set of wrappings for eyeglass ear and nose pieces comprising:
a) a pair of eyeglass ear piece wraps custom cut from a thin elastic material consisting of a blend of latex and cotton having surface texture; and
b) a pair of eyeglass nose piece wraps custom cut from said thin elastic material.
2. A set of wrappings for eyeglass ear and nose pieces according to claim 1 wherein said ear piece wraps are defined by a tapered body portion having non-parallel sides and a bifurcated end comprising first and second branches, said second branches being oblique to said body portion and longer than said first branch.
3. A set of wrappings for eyeglass ear and nose pieces according to claim 1 wherein said nose piece wraps are defined by an oval body portion having wing portions and tab portions.
4. A set of wrappings for eyeglass ear and nose pieces according to claim 1 wherein said thin material has thickness between 0.015 and 0.031 inch.
5. A set of wrappings for eyeglass ear and nose pieces according to claim 1 wherein said thin elastic material is comprised of an elastic base material containing cotton weave with a textured latex coating.
6. A method of wrapping an eyeglass ear piece with a precut elastic wrapping material consisting of a latex and cotton blend comprising the steps of:
a) positioning said precut elastic material at end of said eyeglass ear piece;
b) anchoring said precut elastic wrapping to said end of eyeglass ear piece by folding and overlapping an end portion of said precut elastic material;
c) wrapping said eyeglass ear piece with said precut elastic wrapping material in an overlapping manner until said ear piece is completely covered.
7. A method of applying a wrapping to an eyeglass ear and nose piece comprising:
a) providing a precut ear piece wrapping comprising of a thin elastic material consisting of a blend of latex and cotton having surface texture, a tapered body portion having non-parallel sides with a bifurcated end comprising first and second branches, said second branch being oblique to said body and longer than said first branch;
b) applying said bifurcated end of said wrapping to said eyeglass ear piece in a manner whereby an end portion of said eyeglass ear piece is in contact with and generally parallel to end of said first branch and end of said second branch is perpendicular to end of said ear piece;
c) folding said second branch over said ear piece end portion and folding said first branch over said second branch;
d) winding said tapered body portion in an overlapping manner upwards along said eyeglass ear piece;
e) providing a precut nose piece wrapping comprised of a thin elastic material consisting of a blend of latex and cotton having surface texture and having an oval body portion, wings, and tab portions; and

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to eyeglasses and more particularly to protective wrappings for eyeglass temple pieces, pads for nose pieces, and their method of application.
2. General Background
It is well known in the art of eyeglass frame design that there are many problems encountered by the wearer due to interaction between the temple and the nose pieces. Eyeglasses tend to move relative to the wearer due primarily to sudden and erratic movements, improper fits, and perspiration. Such movement of the frames relative the wearer causes irritation and the problem is further compounded by those with overly sensitive skin. Eyeglass frame manufacturers tend to ignore the problem. Therefore, the eyeglass wearer must seek relief from various attachments provided in the after market. Various structures have been developed which addresses the problem outlined above by assuming that if the frames can be stabilized there will be no friction, thus no irritation. Such structures ;which simply cover, pad cushion, and anchor the eyeglass frames as described in U.S. Pat. Nos., 3,953,114; 4,662,729; 4,786,158; 5,002,381; 5,440,335; 5,583,585; and Des. No. 322,446 generally cause as many problems as they are intended to solve. One such problem is that most structures of the type disclosed are not universal and seldom fit the wide variety of frames available. Sleeves, when applied to eyeglass frame temple pieces tend to make the frames bulky, thereby causing ear irritation. Secondly, moisture is a root problem of eyeglass frame slippage yet virtually none of the temple piece pads or covers, with the exception of the U.S. Pat. No. 4,662,729, emphasize moisture absorption or dissipation.
Nose pads for eyeglasses have virtually the same problems as the temple pieces except the problem is compounded by the weight of the glasses. Therefore, there is a need to provide a universal fitting, thin, soft, replaceable material, that is moisture absorbent and or excellent moisture dissipater, yet clings to the skin without irritation and is easily attached in a contouring manner to the eyeglass frames.
The instant addresses the problem described above in a straight forward and simple manner. A combination of two percent latex and ninety-eight percent cotton material having a wavy surface texture is used as a wrap for the nose and ear pieces of the eyeglass frames. The material, being self-clinging, provides air circulation and nonskid capability with skin even when moist. The cotton and latex material is cut in a manner which enhances a wrapping application.
For a further understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which, like parts are given like reference numerals, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is isometric view of the nose and ear piece wraps as they appear on a pair of glasses;
FIG. 2 is a top view of the ear piece wrap;
FIG. 3 is a top view of the nose piece wrap;
FIG. 4 is an isometric view of eyeglass ear piece being wrapped with the invention;
FIG. 5 is an isometric view of a pair of eyeglasses being wrapped with the invention; and
FIG. 6 is a partial view of the eyeglass nose piece being wrapped,
As shown in FIG. 1 the nose and ear pieces of a pair of eyeglasses 10 may be wrapped with a thin material consisting of two percent latex and ninety-eight percent cotton that is both self-clinging, due to surface texture, and moisture absorbent, as a result of the cotton content, such as that used in elastic bandages. The material thickness ranges between 0.015 and 0.031 inches. The material may be described as an elastic material having a cotton weave coated with a textured latex.
To make the wrapping process simple and easy to use the material should be cut as shown in FIG. 2 and 3. The ear piece wrap 12 shown in FIG. 2 is cut in a strip having tapering body 14 and a bifurcated end with a first, relatively straight, branch 16 and a second branch 18 oblique to the tapered body portion 14. This allows the longer, oblique branch 18 to be folded over the ear piece end 20, shown in FIG. 5, in a manner whereby the straight branch 16 is then folded over the second oblique branch end 18, thus positioning the wrap 12 at an angle to the ear piece 22. Therefore, continuing the wrapping process as seen in FIG. 4, a neat series of overlaps 24 is achieved as the ear piece 22 is covered. The texture of the material 12 and the ridges created by the overlaps 24 also serve as standoffs, thereby allowing moisture to be dissipated, as well as provide friction and skin padding.
The nose piece wrapping 26 as seen in FIG. 3 is cut in butterfly pattern which includes an oval body portion 28, a pair of wing portions 30 and tabs 32. As seen in FIG. 6, the nose wrap 26 must fit around the support column 40. Therefore, by stretching the elastic material body 28 over the face of an eyeglass nose piece 42, the wings 30 can be folded around and along the sides of the piece 42 and anchored by wings 30 and tabs 32 which fold neatly around the support column 40.
The wrappings 12, 26 are supplied in an inexpensive set of two ear piece wraps and two nose piece wraps, along with instructions showing how to apply. The user then applies the wrappings to virtually any type of eyeglasses on an as needed basis. The wraps 12,26 may also be removed, cleaned and reused if desired.
Because many varying and different embodiments may be made within the scope of the inventive concept herein taught, and because many modifications may be made in the embodiments herein detailed in accordance with the descriptive requirement of the law, it is to be understood that the details herein are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in any limiting sense.

I like to keep working hanging on the walls.

I'm inspired by Nature's Order the overlapping of leaves and crisscrossing of branches is similar to the crisscrossing in the attempted "flow" of city-people as they zigzag and manipulate their way through a maze of obstacles. What on the surface may seem to be random or chaotic on closer examination is ordered and precise. It is not the actual structure of nature that most profoundly affects me, but the precision with which components of these structures are organized. I see order within the spatial relationships between objects. I take these elements out of their normal context and utilize them in my paintings, calling on Nature's arrangements as I paint.

Apparently, games being 60 fps over 30 isn't factually better, it's an opinion
Only benefit of 30fps that I can see is that its less demanding.
If you have a choice between 30fps and 60fps without a performance difference then you should always go with 60fps.

I can play anywhere from 25fps to 60fps, but of course 60fps is actually better.
But when the computer I had before finally building one was only averaging 15fps, anything 25fps+ looks great lol.

This is quite literally the only reason I haven't set Dark Souls 1 to use 60 FPS. Apparently you need a godly PC to run it at a smooth 60 FPS, and my PC's quite old nowadays (like around 3 or 4 years or so), so I'm content with the default 30 FPS. It helps that the game was built around 30 FPS and thus looks decent even at the lower framerate. Not like Oblivion, which scales its FPS TERRIBLY and thus 30 FPS looks choppier than an Ork with dual-wielded Choppas chopping a Space Marine into itty bitty pieces.

Wasn't part of the games physics or something based on it's FPS also? I imagine that would also be a good reason to not allow a higher one. Not a good design decision though.
Did the orks paint themselves red so they could go faster?
Unless I'm playing a fighting game or an online game in general, framerates of at least 30 or so don't really bother me.

Purple sugar cane
Looking to find PURPLE SUGAR CANE, I found that the bugandy colored cane are misidentified by some as purple cane. It would have bright green leaves and burgandy stalk. These are common and can even be found on ebay. Be careful !. The TRUE PURPLE CANE'S botanical name is: SACCHARUM OFFICINARUM VIOLACEUM. It's common name is PELE'S SMOKE. It would have purple leaves and stalk. It is a beautiful plant. It is avail at Glass House Works, TX. for $ 25. Also avail at SHAMAN AUSTRALIS BOTANICALS, Australia for $ 4.00 Good luck, James
I found Pele's Smoke at local nurseries (it's an 'annual' here LOL!). Is Pele's Smoke an edible version or just an ornamental? I grew it one year and the canes didn't seem to be sweet or juicy.
A local Asian market has 3-foot stalks of edible purple/burgundy cane for sale. Do those get green leaves?
>Also avail at SHAMAN AUSTRALIS BOTANICALS, Australia for $ 4.00
Yeah, right! Good luck getting them to respond to even a simply email asking for information about it, let alone risking an order through them.

An assistant buyer works closely with vendors, maintaining positive relationships while negotiating specs, pricing, and deadlines. They must be able to work independently and prioritize job duties, as well as prepare cost analyses and competitive retail strategies. They must be able to develop sales and profit margin plans, as well as maintain margin and determine turnover objectives.Read More...
Communication skills are a vital part of being an assistant buyer. They must communicate with merchandise departments, logistics, finance, operations, clubs, and vendors to provide information and problem solve. Assistant buyers, who work in a variety of industries, are expected to communicate with all people involved in the buying process and deal with any problems that may arise. Many assistant buyers are required to travel to different areas to attend vendor meetings and check competitors' pricing. It is important to have transportation and be familiar with the area(s) relevant to their work and purchasing.
Most companies expect assistant buyers to have a bachelor's degree in business or equivalent experience; many require a bachelor's or one to three years of experience in retail buying, allocation, or replenishment. Many companies also prefer retail operations experience. Assistant buyers must have organizational skills, as well as the ability to multitask. They must possess a strong knowledge of the Microsoft Office software suite and be able to create specialized spreadsheets through Excel.

Though not the most common occurrence, Assistant Buyers sometimes become Product Development Managers, where the average income is $80K per year. Assistant Buyers moving up in their careers tend to step into positions as Buyers or Associate Buyers. The median paychecks in those roles are $5K higher and $8K higher, respectively.
Survey results suggest that Assistant Buyers put a wide range of professional skills to use. Most notably, skills in Negotiation, Merchandising, Data Analysis, and Microsoft Office are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Data Entry. It is often found that people who know Merchandising are also skilled in Data Analysis and Vendor Relations.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
The average inexperienced worker's salary is approximately $40K, and people with five to 10 years of experience bring in more at around $43K on average. On average, Assistant Buyers make $39K following one to two decades on the job. Seasoned veterans with 20 years under their belts enjoy a median income of $44K.
Home to some of the best pay for Assistant Buyers, San Francisco offers exceptional salaries, 25 percent above the national average. Assistant Buyers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like San Diego (+16 percent), New York (+15 percent), Columbus (+9 percent), and Seattle (+9 percent). Those in the field find the lowest salaries in Chicago, 19 percent below the national average. Workers in St. Louis and Portland earn salaries that trail the national average for those in this profession (16 percent less and 12 percent less, respectively).

Question about electric fencing for pigs?
AgapefarmfhlOctober 21, 2013
Hello, My wife and I are thinking about putting a few pigs out on my boss' property, We would bring in a lot of horse manure and wood chips for them to compost and then we would butcher them at the end of the year. I was wondering how much electric fence it would take to keep a pig enclosed? one wire 6" off ground? or 2 wires, one high and one low? any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Allen Lee
gator_rider2(z8 Ga.)
2 Wires is what we used back in 50's it work better inside net wire fence the electric wire keep off net wire. Hogs root all time and ground out bottom wire feeder and water need to be in center pin to much rough tumbling around water and feed. The bottom wire helps if barbwire in case current off still has some detainment Sharpe barbs.

Amana Top Load Washer
Flyrite06January 14, 2012
I have an Amana heavy duty super capacity plus top load washer. It is model# NAV335AWW Rev.27
The problem is the washer doesn't always drain during the spin cycle so the clothes are either wet or the tub is completely full of water at the end of the cycle. This is intermittent, sometimes it drains just fine. Also, if I open and close the lid during the spin cycle the washer will immediately begin draining. If the cycles have all completed and there is water remaining in the tub, if I select the spin cycle again it will drain the water out during that spin cycle. Any ideas or help would be much appreciated.
