The size of a "new" lens may be problematic, but there should be plenty of choices.
If the lens/shutter is small enough, anything that fits 4x5 'should work" with the postcard format, and vice versa.
$100 won't get you a 135 WF Ektar, but it probly would fit as would a 135 Optar as mentioned above. I have a couple of small lenses in the pile for my Kodak #A folding Brownie and a salvaged K mount......and a lot of laziness, cuz I need to finish the bellows swap etc.
I have a few negs i shot on 122 long ago with the original Kodak lenses- RR s mostly and they can be sharp as anything, sure wish i coulda shot moving objects at 1/250. I just don't shoot on a tripod, or things that stand still, although I too have a nice looking Planatograph that tempts me.
Thanks for those example shots seawolf!
Good luck Doug

Paracord Crafts
By: The Editors of Leisure Arts
Gifted by: Leisure Arts
Reviewed by Melissa Conner, editor of FaveCrafts.com
Paracord, also known as parachute cord, is a super-strong nylon cord that comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Most often used for camping and outdoor activities, paracord is a handy survival tool that can be used for several purposes, from shoe string to tent security. Paracord is great for tying in knots, which makes it a must-have tool for outdoor enthusiasts...as well as creative crafters!
Perfect for using to create bracelets and key fobs, paracord has quickly become the hottest thing in crafting. Also used to add texture and style to headbands and flip flops, this durable string is a clever and fun way to accessorize this spring...and in Paracord Crafts, the newest eBook from Leisure Arts, you'll learn how to make more than 10 awesome paracord crafts, as well as pick up helpful tips on using and crafting with paracord.
With lots of full-color step-by-step photos for each project in Paracord Crafts, these bracelets, key fobs, headbands, and collars are easy and fun to make for beginners and advanced paracord crafters alike. I love the Raising the Bar Bracelets, which combine two different colored paracord strings to create one fun and funky bracelet. These paracord crafts are colorful and fun to wear, and could be very useful if you ever find yourself in need of some string!
Join in on the craze and get crafting with paracord!

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in Waiorua Bay. Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in Waiorua Bay ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Today Friday, 27th of March of 2015, the sun rose in Waiorua Bay at 7:30 am and sunset was at 7:22 pm. The moon rose in the northeast at an angle of 66º at 2:23 pm.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 3:30 am and the next high tide at 3:58 pm. The first low tide was at 9:50 am and the next low tide will be at 10:14 pm.
The lunar phase is a First Quarter Moon. Today we had 11 hours and 52 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:26 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 9 hours and 37 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 39, a low value, which means that the range (difference between high tide and low tide) will be lower than on other occasions and the currents will also be small. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 38 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 39. The tide heights today are 1.5 m, 0.7 m, 1.5 m and 0.8 m. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Waiorua Bay which is of 1.9 m and a minimum height of 0.3 m.
The solunar fishing calendar in Waiorua Bay tells us that today is a good day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is high. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
| from 7:00 am to 9:00 am, very high activity Major period (moon down). This period of high activity coincides with sunrise; therefore the sun will exercise more influence, resulting in an excellent time for fishing
from 2:23 pm to 3:23 pm, high activity minor period (moonrise)
from 7:27 pm to 9:27 pm, very high activity Major period (moon up)
Tide timetable for Waiorua Bay. The times are generated in local time in Wellington / Kapiti and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Waiorua Bay are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in meters referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).
WELLINGTON / KAPITI: Tides for Cape Terawhiti (Oteranga Bay) | Tides for Fishermans Rock (Cook Strait) | Tides for Karehana Bay | Tides for Karori Rock Light | Tides for Makara Beach | Tides for Otaki River Entrance | Tides for Paraparaumu Beach | Tides for Porirua Harbour | Tides for Waikanae Beach | Tides for Waiorua Bay | Tides for Wellington

Growing up in families with an anthroposophic lifestyle has been associated with reduced risk of allergic disease in children. The aim of this report was to assess whether children with this lifestyle are infected earlier with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), which has been associated with reduced risk of allergic disease, and three other herpesviruses potentially involved in allergy development, namely Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6), Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV7) and cytomegalovirus (CMV).
Within the ALADDIN (Assessment of Lifestyle and Allergic Disease During Infancy), birth cohort study 157 children were categorized according to lifestyle into anthroposophic and non-anthroposophic. IgG-levels for EBV, HHV6, HHV7 and CMV were determined in plasma samples collected at ages 12 and 24 months and from parents. IgE levels against seven common allergens were analyzed at 24 months.
No significant differences in seroprevalence of EBV, HHV7 or CMV were detected at any age between the two lifestyle groups. The seroprevalence of HHV6 was significantly lower in the anthroposophic group at 24 months of age (74.6% vs. 87.5%, p-value 0.048). Further, no significant associations between allergic sensitization and seropositivity to any of the viruses were detected; however, an interaction effect of lifestyle could not be ruled out.
Our results indicate that there is no strong influence of exposure to the anthroposophic lifestyle on the time for infection with EBV, HHV6, HHV7 or CMV. These infections can therefore not be assumed to be important factors in the allergy-protective effect of this lifestyle.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
HIPAA is the sole focus; there is no mention of SO or GLB.
In this book the contents have been presented in a very logical manner - you would go from simple security concepts to larger and more complex issues.
SQL Injection and Application User models described in the book were exactly what we were missing and we got it in this.
Excellent book for general security information with Oracle (VPDs, Roles, Encryption and the rest)
As an another review pointed out, the book is very light on SOX... Read more
I primarily purchased this book for help on Virtual Private Database (VPD) and Row Level Security (RLS). We use these features at work and need to expand on them. Read morePublished on December 6, 2005 by George A. Loewenthal

This is the act of giving/receiving a blumpkin, from a girl or a boy, while the giver is blowing the receiver the giver must vomit all over the receivers cock and lap, induced by choking on the receivers cock. Typically after an Oriental Blumpkin commences the fellating party puts their hand in front of their mouth and makes a racially stereo-typical Asian laugh.
Yo Johnny caught an Oriental Blumpkin from that swamp donkey last night... she puked all over him.

It's a nice game. I think many people said almost all it can be said about the game.
Personally, I love to have a lot of each. I run out of space, it would be cool if you could buy more "farm"
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
fun stuff.
The level difficulty is a little uneven, at least for me. Early on, it seems very hard to keep family from starving, etc. and then very easy once you've researched everything.
Overall, great game and great potential for expanding. farm and grow 2.0? :)

Kichton makes strong first impression
Rookie scores twice in win over Sharks
PENTICTON, B.C. -- Brenden Kichton's first competitive response since being drafted by the Winnipeg Jets last June had some tongues wagging Friday night.
Kichton was credited with two goals and an assist to help the Jets rookies defeat their San Jose Sharks counterparts 5-3 before a sparse crowd at the Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Classic game at the South Okanagan Events Centre.
"I thought Brenden was real strong," said Keith McCambridge, coach of the Jets' AHL affiliate in St. John's. McCambridge is handling the Winnipeg bench at this tournament. "We knew that he was a power-play guy and I liked the goal he scored at the end there (with six minutes left).
"We knew that he had some real offensive upside. That obviously was there and there with a real good presence for his first game. But also defensively I thought he made some good reads and he moved the puck up the ice efficiently. Good first impression for me."
Kichton, drafted by the Islanders in 2011 but not signed, was chosen by the Jets with their seventh-round pick last June after a season of 22 goals and 85 points with the WHL's Spokane Chiefs.
He signed 10 days ago.
"It's only the first game, two more to go, but I like the way we started," Kichton said Friday night. "(The contract) is added confidence. But you can't take lightly what's been given to you. You've got to earn everything that's been given to you."
The Jets forged three one-goal leads but needed two third-period goals, the final one by Kichton, to pull away from the Sharks.
"It was a good start," Kichton said. "I thought we all played well. We let off a bit in the second period but overall it was it was a great team game."
The 21-year-old from Spruce Grove, Alta., said his first-period goal belonged to forward Ivan Telegin.
"The first one, Telly was calling for it there and I was lucky enough to shoot it off his skate," Kichton said. "So that was his goal. The second one, Ty (Stanton) made a good pass there and I just let it go, lucky enough to find the net. That's what you've got to do to make impressions here."
Other Jets prospects who hit the ground running on Friday included 2012 third-round draft pick Scott Kosmachuk, who fired the eventual winner early in the third period, after escaping the penalty box.
He converted a well-executed two-on-one with Austen Brassard.
"As the game wore on, I thought he had some more detail to his game," McCambridge said of Kosmachuk. "I noticed him more. He was making some nice plays. But I though he settled in and got stronger as the game wore on."
Winnipeg's first-round pick of 2013, defenceman Josh Morrissey, and tryout Mitch Theoret, a former teammate of Mark Scheifele, had the other goals on Friday.
San Jose, which has dropped both its games at the tournament, had two goals from Rylan Schwartz and the other from Konrad Abeltshauser against Jets goalie Jussi Olkinuora.
Winnipeg's second game of the tournament comes tonight against the Edmonton Oilers (9:30 p.m. CT).

Cass, Ph.D., Associate Professor Caren G. Dubnoff, Ph.D., Associate Professor Stephen A. Kocs, Ph.D., Associate Professor Vickie Langohr, Ph.D., Associate Professor B.

Gish, Ph.D., Visiting Assistant Professor Alison M. Smith, Cand. Ph.D., Lecturer Political science is the study of government, including the empirical study of American and foreign political regimes; theoretical approaches that attempt to explain political action in its various forms, both within nations and among them; and the study of philosophic texts that address the questions of the nature of justice, the best way of life, and the best political order. Students majoring in political science are required to take the department's introductory course in each of the four sub-fields. We strongly encourage students to complete all four introductory courses by the end of the sophomore year. In addition to these introductory courses, political science majors must take at least six upper-division courses for a minimum total of 10 courses and a maximum of 14 to complete the major. Of the six upper-division courses, at least one must be in American govern- ment, one in political philosophy, and one in either international relations or comparative politics. For outstanding students, there is the possibility of undertaking a two-semester honors thesis in the senior year. Both course credits may be applied toward the minimum 32 course credits necessary for gradu- ation, but only one course credit may be applied toward the minimum ten required courses in the Po- litical Science major. Majors are also strongly encouraged to take courses in related fields like history, economics, and sociology. Proficiency in a modern foreign language is highly recommended as well. The study of political science is valuable for non-majors as well as for majors. Today, just as in the ancient republics, every citizen has a duty to learn about the workings of his/her country's political system and of other political regimes as well as that of the international system so as to make informed judgments regarding issues of domestic and foreign policy. The citizen needs in addition a developed capacity to understand and evaluate the principles underlying the various political regimes, ways of life, and policy choices. Beyond helping to promote intelligent and active citizenship, a political science major provides good training for careers in teaching, law, politics, government service, business, journalism, the armed forces, and international organizations. Finally, apart from a student's ultimate career plans, the study of political science helps to develop powers of reasoning, critical and analytical skills, and competence in oral and written expression. Membership in Pi Sigma Alpha, the national student honor society in political science, is open to students with distinguished academic records. Advanced Placement Credit: Students with a score of 5 in American Politics and Government and/ or Comparative Politics and Government receive advanced standing in the curriculum. 154/Political Science Courses Introductory Courses Political Science 100 — Principles of American Government Fall, spring Provides an introductory overview of American government through study of the principal public docu- ments, speeches, and constitutional law cases that define the American political tradition. By tracing the development of U.S. political institutions from the founding to the present, the course examines the ways in which American political ideals have become embodied in institutions as well as the ways in which practice has fallen short of these ideals. Introduces students to contemporary ideological and policy debates, and prepares them for the role of citizen. American Government. One unit. Political Science 101 — Introduction to Political Philosophy Fall, spring A concise survey of the history of political philosophy. Intended to introduce students to some of the major alternative philosophic answers that have been given to the fundamental questions of political life, such as the nature of the best political order and the relation of the individual to the community. Authors to be studied include Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Marx and Nietzsche. Political Philosophy. One unit. Political Science 102 — Introduction to Comparative Politics Fall, spring A comparative analysis of political processes and institutions in Western liberal democracies, Communist and post-Communist states, and developing nations. Focuses on alternative models of economic and politi- cal modernization and on the causes of and prospects for the current wave of democratization throughout the world. Comparative Politics. One unit. Political Science 103 — Introduction to International Relations Fall, spring Introduces students to major theories and concepts in international politics and examines the evolution of the international system during the modern era. Principal topics include: the causes of war and peace, the dynamics of imperialism and post-colonialism, the emergence of global environmental issues, the nature and functioning of international institutions, the legal and ethical obligations of states, and the international sources of wealth and poverty. International Relations. One unit. Upper-Division Courses Political Science 201, 202 — Constitutional Law 1, 2 Annually A two-semester course that examines the ways in which the Constitution has been defined over time by the Supreme Court. Topics include formation of the Constitution; separation of powers, judicial review, congressional and presidential authority; citizenship, suffrage and representation; and individual liberties. Emphasis is placed on the nature of legal reasoning and judicial process. American Government. Prerequi- site: Political Science 100 or permission of the instructor. One unit each semester. Political Science 203 — Judicial Behavior Fall Concentrates on two central questions: 1) how and why judges decide cases as they do; 2) how judges should decide cases. Do judges decide cases on the basis of which litigant presents the stronger factual evidence and the best controlling precedents? Do they rule according to what "the law says?" Or are the evidence and controlling precedents sufficiently ambiguous to allow for the influence of factors external to the law, and if so, what are these factors? Put differently, to what extent do judges decide cases according to their personal values? To what extent are they influenced by other judges? By legal norms? By concerns for the institutional place of their Court? By the values and attitudes of their particular region? By the way in which they were selected? American Government. Prerequisite: Political Science 100. One unit. Political Science 205 — Race and Ethnic Politics Fall Addresses the role of race in American political processes and institutions. Drawing heavily on the perspec- tives of African-Americans, the course surveys the history of race in American politics from the era of emancipation to the present. Topics include black political culture, political behavior, and rhetoric; race and the media; black women in politics; and varieties of black nationalism and conservatism. American Govern- ment. Prerequisite: Political Science 100. One unit. Political Science 206 — Public Policy Annually Course begins by examining the role policy was intended to perform in a commercial republic. Lectures and Political Science /155 readings will call attention to both the normative and empirical dimensions of policymaking. The intention is to understand policy in the broadest possible context-not as a distinct moment in time, but rather as the result of a dynamic process that itself has dynamic consequences. A constant theme will be the debate over whether markets or policymakers are best suited to allocate resources and provide basic services. As we develop the skills needed to evaluate policy we will rely on several case studies drawn from social welfare, regulatory, and civil rights policy. American Government. Prerequisite: Political Science 100. One unit. Political Science 207 — American Presidency Annually Studies the presidency as an office that shapes its occupants just as profoundly as specific presidents have shaped the character of the office. Traces the historical evolution of the presidency from the founding to the present. Among the topics considered are: presidential selection, the president as party leader, war powers and the president as commander in chief, the president as the nation's chief administrator, and the president as legislative leader. American Government. Prerequisite: Political Science 100. One unit. Political Science 208 — Congress and the Legislative Process Annually Studies the United States Congress as a constitutional institution, beginning with the American found- ing and the intent of the framers in designing a bicameral legislature with enumerated powers.

Political Science 314 — Seminar: Political Philosophy and Education Altlernate years Many classical liberals as well as contemporary democratic theorists emphasize the importance of a well-educated populace in order to secure the conditions for liberty and the capacity for self-governance. One must therefore consider how one might transform children, who are dependent upon and subject to the authority of adults, into independent, rational adults capable of living among equals, without establishing in them habits either of sub- servience or dominance. If indeed well-educated citizens are required in order to achieve democracy rather than "mob rule," then what exactly is the role of the state in shaping the characters and preferences of its citizens? In considering what a "well-educated populace" might mean, we must address the tension that exists between the goal of a radically independent intellect and the goal of good citizenship. In a liberal republic, it should be possible in principle for these two goals to converge. Are there limitations to putting this principle into practice? Readings from Locke, Rousseau, Dewey, Freire, Oakeshott and others. Political Philosophy. Prerequisite: Political Science 101 or permission. One unit.
