After acquiring Berger Instruments in 1994, the merged CST/berger developed global leadership in designing, developing & manufacturing leveling and layout instruments and accessories for the building, construction and survey markets. In July 2008, CST/berger was acquired by the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation, creating one of the worlds leading manufacturer of layout and measuring tools.

Chih Hua Liu's visit to Healthy Athletes Opening Eyes at the 2009 World Winter Games in February ended in an ambulance ride to the emergency room with dangerously high pressure in his eye. When Bill Lutz went to a Healthy Hearing screening later that week, he was wearing obsolete hearing aids that left him virtually unable to hear. Recent follow-up interviews found that these athletes and many others like them are still benefiting from the interventions received at Healthy Athletes, as well as their overall Special Olympics experience.
"It has been a big benefit," said Tom Stephenson, Lutz's cousin and caregiver for the past 12 years. Lutz has been using his new hearing aids successfully since receiving them, and they continue to have a great impact on both him and his family. "It's easier for me to communicate with him," Stephenson added.
Lutz's story is not unique. A follow-up study conducted by Dr. Ruth Bentler, Ph.D. from the University of Iowa, on athletes who received hearing aids at the Boise games found that 76.3% are using the devices, a percentage that roughly matches successful hearing aid use in the general population.
This is especially good news considering the relative lack of resources people with intellectual disabilities often have for follow-up visits and device replacement and servicing, according to Dr. Gil Herer, Founder and Global Clinical Advisor for Healthy Hearing. "It is remarkable to have this high of a use rate," he said.
Internationally, the resources available for people with intellectual disabilities who have hearing loss vary significantly. "Typically, these athletes from around the world are not in traditional family environments, so there may not be a parent to help them look after their hearing aids," Dr. Bentler said. "additionally, many of these athletes are from parts of the world where hearing aid provision is uncommon, resulting in few resources for them and their caretakers to turn to with questions and/or problems."
Despite these obstacles, the athletes who are now successfully using their new hearing aids come from countries around the globe such as El Salvador, Jordan, Korea, Morocco, Slovenia, Yemen and others.
Chih Hua Liu's eye problem, known as closed-angle glaucoma, was treated with medicated eye drops while he was in Boise, and Dr. Jack Zarybnisky, the volunteer doctor who performed the screening and discovered the condition, was able to secure medication for Liu to take home.
In October, Special Olympics East Asia followed up with Liu. According to Ms. Su Min Chen, his coach, his general health has never been better, and he has not experienced any symptoms of glaucoma since returning home.
In addition to the attention to his medical needs, Liu's trip to the World Winter Games has given him greater self confidence and better communication and relationship skills. These benefits are also very common among Special Olympics athletes, according to research. More than 90% of athletes from all countries studied experienced increased self-esteem and self confidence.
Liu's story is even more poignant considering that he almost didn't have the opportunity to participate in Boise. Raised in an orphanage in his earlier years, Liu was reunited with his father about six years ago and started competing. His father was initially skeptical of the long trip to the United States, but changed his mind after Liu's coach spoke to him. That decision may have saved Liu's eyesight and had lasting impacts in his life.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

Helpful Definition for: Airlines
The best transportation systems which are provided by an enterprise to the passengers from all across the globe can be termed as 'airlines'. Speed, safety, hospitality, etc, are some of the characteristics of airline industry.
The Airline business is one of the world's flourishing businesses. Airline groupings may consist of limited bilateral partnerships, long-term, multi-faceted alliances between carriers, equity arrangements, mergers, or take -over. Since governments often restrict ownership and merger between companies in different countries, most consolidation takes place within a country. Many international airline managers are lobbying their governments to permit greater consolidation to achieve higher economy and efficiency.
The aviation industry has to look into various airlines safety topics like environmental factors, technical problems during flight, bird strike, fire, ground problems, terrorism, safe landing, and so on. To tackle these situations, an Aviation Safety Team is formed. It also includes airline personnel i.e. Flight Crew - Pilots ,Flight attendants, in-flight security personnel, Ground Crew - Aerospace engineers, Airframe and power plant technicians, Flight dispatchers, Baggage handlers, Ramp Agents, Gate agents, Ticket agents, Passenger service agents.
Airlines industry in Robstown plays a vital role in transportation and can also be categorized as intercontinental, intra-continental, domestic, regional or international, and may be operated as scheduled services or charters.

Sanabia set to continue seizing opportunity
Righty, who's impressing Marlins despite ERA, opposes Cubs' Wood
When injuries opened up a starting spot last season for Cubs left-hander Travis Wood, he impressed enough to earn a place in Chicago's 2013 rotation.
On Saturday, he will take the mound in Miami opposite Marlins righty Alex Sanabia, who is hoping to carve out a similar path this season. With the Marlins' rotation decimated by injuries to start the season, Sanabia is off to a 2-2 start with a somewhat misleading 5.09 ERA.
"He's done a nice job. Obviously, he's a guy who has benefited from a couple of injuries," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He's made the most of it. He's pitched well. He picked up our first win of the season, and every time he's been out there, he's shown a lot."
Sanabia's ERA took a hit in his outing Sunday against the Reds, though Redmond hardly blamed the young righty for allowing five runs over six-plus innings. With the bullpen taxed a night earlier, the Marlins leaned heavily on Sanabia, who conceded just two runs through six innings before loading the bases in the seventh and departing without recording an out in the frame.
"Even in his last start, he knew we were short in the bullpen, and he made his pitches, he executed his pitches," Redmond said. "He did a great job. He deserved a chance to win that game, but we weren't able to hold them down. But I like his toughness, too. That's what we're looking for out of our starting pitchers."
As for Wood, the 26-year-old is off to a strong start this season, though he has just one win to show for his four quality starts.
Wood's lone win came in a stellar season debut in which he allowed just one hit over six shutout innings. In three starts since, Wood has pitched at least six innings and limited the opposition to two earned runs in each, though he's taken one loss and two no-decisions in those outings.
"It's hard to be down," Wood said after taking a no-decision in the Cubs' 5-4 extra-inning loss on Monday. "It's easy to be down, but also hard to be down. It's not like we're getting blown out every game. We're right there. We just have to come together as a team and figure out how to pull them out."
The good news for Wood is the Cubs seemed to have figured it out in the first two games of this series, managing back-to-back wins for the first time this year. Chicago, which entered the series 4-8 in games decided by two runs or fewer, has won the first two games of the series by a combined three runs.
Cubs: Fujikawa throws first bullpen session
Closer Kyuji Fujikawa tossed his first bullpen session Friday since landing on the disabled list on April 13 with a strained right forearm.
Fujikawa threw 25 pitches on flat ground and will ramp it up to 30-35 pitches in another 'pen session on Monday. If all goes well, Fujikawa will likely make two rehab appearances before returning to the Cubs.
"We haven't talked about it, but I'm sure it'll be two appearances," manager Dale Sveum said. "We don't want to keep him down and give him back-to-back appearances, something like that."
Fujikawa, who was dealing with discomfort for several days leading up to his DL stint, has converted two of his three save opportunities this season, despite a 12.46 ERA.
Marlins: Hechavarria still on pace with rehab
Shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, on the disabled list with a bruised right forearm, played catch in the outfield prior to Friday's game and remains on track in his rehab process.
Assuming there are no setbacks, the Marlins are confident Hechavarria will be able to return to the field on May 2, the first day he is eligible to come off the DL. The 24-year-old was hitting .184 with one homer and three RBIs prior to being sidelined with the injury.
"Things are progressing for him," Redmond said. "He did some more throwing [Friday]. He's on track to be available on May 2, which is obviously a good sign. It's relatively a short-term thing for him."
Worth noting
• Giancarlo Stanton has a seven-game hitting streak against the Cubs, dating back to July 16, 2011. He's hitting .345 (10-for-29) with two home runs and six RBIs against Chicago during that span.
• Wood is 0-2 with a 16.88 ERA in two career starts against the Marlins, though the only active players on Miami's roster to record a hit off the lefty are Austin Kearns (2-for-5) and Placido Polanco (1-for-3).
• Marlins rookie first baseman Joe Mahoney hit his first Major League home run on Friday in his 27th career at-bat.

Lost & Found Sound 'Mental Hygiene' Films November 12, 1999 As many as 3,000 "mental hygiene" films were shown in schools in the years after the Second World War. They provide lessons about dating, manners and delinquency, all wrapped up in a tidy 10-minute package. Lost and Found Sound got a tour through these films from author Ken Smith. Real Media
Lost & Found Sound LOST AND FOUND SOUND: Mental Hygiene Films November 12, 1999 The years just after the Second World War saw the advent of a new genre of classroom films: "social guidance" or "attitude enhancement" films -- we'll call them "mental hygiene" films. Young people in schools across America saw films with titles like "Dating Dos and Don'ts," "Mind Your Manners," "Are You Popular?" and, "Narcotics: Pit of Despair." Topics included table manners, etiquette, fitting in, posture, dating, highway safety, substance abuse, and juvenile delinquency. They were tools of social engineering, made to shape the values and attitudes of an entire generation of American kids. More than three-thousand of these films were made over nearly three decades. Now, fewer than half of them survive. Ken Smith has written a new book called "Mental Hygiene: Classroom Films, 1945-1970". He'll be our tour guide through this Lost and Found Sound report on this funny, fascinating, and largely forgotten genre of American filmmaking. Real Media

Maybe Qt use direct rendering for fullscreen mode?
I have an OpenGl application written in Qt (some details at the end of the post). In the Catalyst Control Center I have "Tear free desktop" enabled and "OpenGl vsync" set to always on.
This gives great results when running my application in windowed mode (on standard ubuntu and customized debian running openbox): no tearing at all. But when switching to fullscreen, tearing is visible. The settings in the control center do have some influence though when running fullscreen: there is less tearing, but it's not completely gone. When adding another widget in my application when it's fullscreen (e.g. a menubar), tearing is gone too, just like when running in windowed mode.
It seems like the fglrx driver behaves differently when the opengl context is fullscreen. Anyone know why and why I get tearing then?
Qt application info: A qgraphicsview with a qglwidget as viewport. The graphicsview visualizes a graphicsscene wich is for example showing a video, flash, qgraphicsitems etc at the same time.
Best regards,
Maybe Qt use direct rendering for fullscreen mode?
Direct rendering is set to be always enabled (even in windowed mode). Why should this cause the tear free option not to work properly?
TearFree for direct rendering will be support only since next release of the driver.
So in 12.5 or whichever comes after 12.4?

Kicking Horse student cooks win big at Missouri Food Fair contest Kicking Horse Job Corp Center's six students who are studying culinary arts travelled to St. Louis, Missouri, the last week of June to compete in the annual Food Fair where they won "hands down", taking first place honors in five of six categories. The young chefs scored 497 points out of a possible 500 points allowing them to win prizes for sanitation, best centerpiece, overall table display, a travelling trophy and first place overall. The only category they didn't win was the written "competency" test in which they were three points short of tying for first place. KHJCC's Lettie Neuman, who was a hostess at the Food Fair, said the Kicking Horse cooks were repeatedly complimented for their "maturity, friendliness, organization and their apparent control over the situation." "I'm so proud of them, I just can't believe it!" said center director Virgil Clairmont. "It's a very tense time, but these [students] were standing in the kitchen laughing around. They knew what they were doing." The team was judged for its organization, appearance of the food, the taste and every step made in preparing the food. Judges watch for any flaws or panic situations. They also watch closely to see that the kitchen and food stays very sanitary. "The sanitation award is the hardest to win," said Neuman. "The Kicking Horse cooks were very calm, though, and wiped every little thing they touched."

What Is Typhoid? | What Is the Typhoid Vaccine? | Who Should Get Vaccinated and When? | What Are the Risks Associated With the Typhoid Vaccine? | Who Should Not Get Vaccinated? | What Other Ways Can Typhoid Be Prevented Besides Vaccination? | What Happens in the Event of an Outbreak?
Typhoid , or typhoid fever, is a serious and potentially fatal illness caused by specific bacteria.
Typhoid can be prevented by a vaccine. Although the typhoid vaccine is effective, it cannot prevent 100% of typhoid infections.
Typhoid fever does occur within the US; however, it is more common in developing countries where water is likely to be contaminated by bacteria. It is important, particularly when traveling in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, to be aware of possible bacteria contamination of food and water.
The bacterium is contracted through drinking water that has been contaminated with sewage. It can also be ingested by eating food that has been washed in bacteria-laden water.
The most common symptoms of typhoid include:
Typhoid is treated with antibiotics. Without treatment, fever and symptoms may continue for weeks or months, and death may occur as a result of complications from the bacterial infection.
There are two types of typhoid vaccines:
The inactivated vaccine is given as a shot. It should not be given to children younger than two years old. A single dose should be given at least 14 days before traveling abroad. Booster shots are needed every two years for those who continue to be in parts of the world where they would be exposed to typhoid fever.
The live typhoid vaccine is given orally. It should not be given to children younger than 6 years old. Four doses, with a day separating each dose, are needed. A booster dose is needed every 5 years.
Although the typhoid vaccine is not given routinely in the US, the following individuals should be vaccinated:
Boosters of the inactive vaccine are required every two years for people at risk of contracting typhoid, and every five years for those at risk who take the oral vaccine.
For maximum effectiveness, the vaccine should be taken 2-3 weeks prior to the potential exposure the bacterium.
Common side effects of the vaccine given by injection include:
Common side effects of the oral vaccine include:
Side effects that may indicate a serious allergic reaction include:
Consult your doctor if you are traveling and are at risk for acquiring typhoid fever, especially if you have any of the above conditions.
Below are some ways to decrease your risk of getting typhoid:
If the suspected cause comes from a commercial food-service facility, the facility and employees should be investigated within 24 hours of determining the suspected source.
If the suspected source is a daycare facility, the facility and employees should be investigated and questioned about recent travel and symptoms.
Also, in the event of an outbreak, government agencies should educate the public on ways to prevent the transmission of typhoid, including proper hygiene habits and careful food preparation.

Damaged nuclear reactors in Japan--a hazard here in the NW?
The damaged nuclear reactors in Japan are leaking radioactive material. Does this pose a health hazard here in the Pacific Northwest? If we had a similar earthquake, would we be subjected to high levels of radioactive fallout? Dr. Rudi Nussbaum and Lloyd Marbet will join host Marianne Barisonek for a discussion of radioactive contamination past, present and future. Dr. Nussbuam has studied the health effects of radiation on Hirsoshima-Nagasaki survivors and military personnel exposed to radiation at Hanford. Lloyd Marbet is known for his successful efforts to shut down the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant.

State Bank of Oregon Community Forum
State Bank of Oregon Community Forum
A public forum on the Oregon State Bank and a proposal to create a publicly owned bank modeled after the highly successful Bank of North Dakota was held on February 1st.
Forum speakers were Barbara Dudley, Co-Chair of the Oregon Working Families Party; Jim Houser, Co-owner of the Hawthorne Auto Clinic and Co-Chair of the Main Street Aliiance of Oregon; Teresa Retzlaff, Farmer at 46 North Farm in Astoria and member of Friends of Family Farmers; and State Representative Jefferson Smith.
Only North Dakota has a state bank. At the moment, a State Bank of Oregon is only an idea.
North Dakota's state bank was formed in 1919. When Alaska and Hawaii joined the union, they did not have a state bank - and still do not (as with the rest of the 47 states).

Political Perspectives with guest guest is David Lively, discussion about the Organicology conference
The guest is David Lively, Marketing Director of the Organically Grown Company in Eugene. He will talk about the Organicology conference going on in Portland this week and about current issues in the organic foods movement including the controversial "coexistence" deal between some organic companies and big-time genetically engineered company Monsanto and USDA secretary Tom Vilsack.
David Lively became involved in organic agriculture after becoming convinced that the best place to affect social change was in the dirt - and at farm level - and dropping out of social work school. He moved to Oregon and became a partner in Thistle Organics and later created a joint venture with Riverbrook Cooperative, Thistle-Brook, that was the largest fresh-market organic farm in Oregon at that time.
In 1984, he became an employee of OGC and in the 21 years since, he has served as warehouser, field manager, production coordinator, buyer, account representative and marketing director.
He has also served as a certification inspector, a member of the steering committees for the Alliance of Organic Certifiers, Organically Grown in Oregon and the Tri-State Symposium on Sustainable Agriculture, and on the boards of OGC, Oregon Tilth and by Governor Robert's appointment the Center for Applied Agricultural Research.

Paul Pierson: "How Washington Made the Rich Richer--And Turned Its Back on the Middle Class"
Paul Pierson, co-author of Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer--And Turned Its Back on the Middle Class, was in Portland at the end of November and spoke with host Stephanie Potter. In an innovative historical departure Pierson and his co-author, Jacob Hacker, trace the rise of the winner-take-all economy back to the late 1970' when big business and conservative idealogues organized themselves to undo the regulations and progressive ta policies that had helped ensure a fair distribution of economic rewards. Deregulation got underway, taxes were cut for the wealthiest, and business decimated labor in Washington. By showing how our political system has been hijacked by the superrich, Pierson and Hacker point the way to rebuilding a democracy that serves the many, rather than just the wealthy few.

Sister Helen Prejean on Oregon's Death Penalty
Political Perspectives presents a talk by Sister Helen Prejean who spoke in Portland on October 21st of this year at the First United Methodist Church in support of Oregonians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty ( www.oadp.org ). She is introduced by Nasseem Raka, author of The Crying Tree.
Sister Helen Prejean was asked to become the spiritual advisor to death row inmate Patrick Sonnier, and after witnessing his execution she wrote a book about her experience: Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States. She then became a leading advocate for the repeal of the death penalty. She has since accompanied six more men to their deaths and began to suspect that some of those executed were not guilty. As a result she has recently published: The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions.
This program was produced by Stephanie Potter.

Hood River Development - Mr. Naito
Please ask Mr. Naito if his love of democracy extends to his business. Would he be willing to turn his development firm into a employee run cooperative corporation, giving ownership and organizational rights to employees. Mr. Naito's concern for democracy probably ends at doors to his corporation. Mr. Naito looks at this battle to develop the Hood River riverfront property as a public realtions battle. He will promise the community jobs and the city council financial support, and the council will eye the property tax revenue as a benefit to the community. If he is successful, once again we will be selling our responsibility to the land and the river for a short term gain. Mr. Naito cares little for the community, but operates on greed. If the environmental laws and regulations were not in place he would not be concerned at all with the impact of his development on the river, the wild life, and the ability of people to enjoy what nature have given us for free.
Bravo for having this debate, though. And controlling the civility of the debate.

I liked the episode, and I was thinking about the whole thing with the girl having Tommy's number and the only thing I could come up with was that maybe it was on a business card for the club and she was asking for a hook up into the VIP section.
Definitely a stronger showing this week for Arrow. "Unfinished Business" is a sequel to "Vertigo", the series' 12th episode. Despite the drug dealer known as The Count being locked away in a mental hospital, the Vertigo drug is once again making its way throughout Starling City, claiming the life of a young woman who had just left Oliver's nightclub. Oliver and Detective Lance both arrive at the hospital to find The Count to be a raving lunatic, seemingly incapable of continuing to run his drug empire. But it seems they've both been fooled when it's reported that The Count managed to overpower his doctor and escape.
Lance, who already has a distrust for both Oliver and Tommy Merlyn, discovers that there is $10,000 missing from the club's books and due to Tommy's shady past, suspects him of possibly dealing or at least allowing dealers to use the club to sell the drug. The dead girl sent Tommy a text message the night she died despite his claims he didn't know her. Lance goes so far as to obtain a search warrant, discovering the secret lower level that Oliver uses as his, umm…Arrowcave. Tommy however had time to remove anything that might have aroused Lance's suspicions, making it seem like just an ordinary storage room. Despite Tommy's timely save the incident create a rift between him and Oliver causing Tommy to quit and go to his father to see a new job. In flashbacks to the island, Oliver begins his 'wax-on/wax-off' style training with Shado, Yao Fei's daughter which provides some light, humor moments this week.
While not a grand episode plot-wise, this week was notable for several key events that should have long term implications. First, this is clearly Tommy's "turning to the dark side" moment. Despite their strained relationship in the past, Tommy seems now more than willing to follow in his father's footsteps. It will be interesting to see if Tommy eventually succeeds his father as the Dark Archer which would likely only happen if Malcolm were killed. Or could it be Tommy who might be the one killed since he knows Oliver's secret? What do you think Arrow Fans?
Also this week was important in the relationship between Ollie and Diggle. Diggle desperately wants to track down Deadshot who killed his brother but initially Oliver dismisses the personal vendetta. In the end though Oliver knows he needs Diggle now more than ever that Tommy has turned his back on him. The scenes between Oliver and Shado lightened things up and were a lot of fun. It gave Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett) the chance to fire off a few sarcastic comments at Ollie's expense. I continue to be impressed at how the writers have balanced the two plotlines between present day Arrow and flashback Oliver. I thought the flashbacks might grow tired but they continue to make them interesting and of course I can't wait until Slade finally becomes Deathstroke.
As is often the case there's some plot contrivances that are hard to overlook…Why would the girl who died from Vertigo have had Tommy's cellphone number? Clearly he really didn't know her. It was just a cheap means to assert Tommy as a red herring and frankly it wasn't necessary. Still overall a very solid episode this week.
I liked the episode, and I was thinking about the whole thing with the girl having Tommy's number and the only thing I could come up with was that maybe it was on a business card for the club and she was asking for a hook up into the VIP section.
For me, the best scene was when Ollie confronted the doctor in the tunnel and had his bow loaded with 3 arrows. The"Oh Shit." look on the doctor's face was priceless.
Still shocked at just how much I enjoy dig this show. And the reviews, which always seem to be on point.

Army freezes civilian hiring, cuts base spending ahead of potential sequestration
Friday - 1/18/2013, 4:54pm EST
The Army has put an immediate freeze on civilian hiring and will begin terminating some temporary employees to reduce spending ahead of potential across-the-board budget cuts later this year.
"The Army faces significant budgetary uncertainty in the coming months and must take immediate steps to reduce expenditures," Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno and Army Secretary John McHugh wrote in a Jan. 16 memo.
That uncertainty stems not only from the automatic sequester cuts — which go into effect March 1 unless Congress intervenes — but also from the possibility of a year-long continuing resolution, which limits annual spending to last year's levels.
"We expect commanders and supervisors at all levels to implement both the guidance contained in this memorandum and the detailed instructions to follow," wrote McHugh and Odierno. "The fiscal situation and outlook are serious."
Along with the hiring freeze is a mandate to reduce base-operations support to about 70 percent of 2012 levels. The service is also curtailing professional training and conferences not deemed mission-critical.
The Army is also seeking to squeeze some savings from procurement accounts, particularly high-dollar value ones. Going forward, all production, research, development, testing and evaluation contracts exceeding $500 million require Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition Technology and Logistics Ashton Carter's approval.
Civilian furloughs, which the Army is not currently considering, would only be a "last resort" option, according to Odierno and McHugh. "Therefore, no action should be taken with regard to furloughs without the express approval of the secretary of the Army," the guidance stated.
The guidance exempts wartime funding and Wounded Warrior programs from the cost-savings initiatives.
The Army's guidance follows a number of recent steps taken by the Pentagon and the individual services to prepare their organizations for the fiscal quandary faced by agencies across government.
Last week, the Pentagon ordered DoD components to start coming up with strategies for conserving cash in case any of the worst-case budget scenarios play out.
The Air Force has also instituted a civilian hiring freeze.
In a joint letter to Congress this week, top DoD and military leaders wrote that the budget situation threatens the readiness of the armed forces.
"Under current budgetary uncertainty, we are at grave risk of an imposed mismatch between the size of our nation's military force and the funding required to maintain its readiness, which will inevitably lead to a hollow force," the letter stated.

Micro ballons are more of a screeding agent: Here is the text right off a technical site that sells the material:
These hollow glass spheres(microballons) make a lightweight sandable filler when blended with resin. Use to fill fabric weave, shallow blisters and surfaces of core materials. The average bubble is less than 70 microns, about a quarter of a grain of salt. It is this small particle size which makes the paste so easy to spread evenly.
#23 Fumed Silica(Cabosil) is a fine grade fumed silica thickening agent similar to Cab-O-Sil and is added to resin systems to prevent run-off and sags on vertical surfaces. Mix in the ratio of 1 part by volume #23 to 2 parts resin for general use. Cab-O-Sil is a registered trademark of Cabot Corporation.
Micro ballons are intended to be used in small, very thin layers. It does not sand nearly as well as cabosil(fumed silica), which is made to be a thickener for use in larger applications such as fillets, fairings, etc. Cabosil has a hardness that is very close to most long cure epoxys, therefore it will sand without leaving high spots on the surface. Micro ballons are much harder than fumed silica. They should be used with long cure epoxy(2 hr cure or longer) to get best results. Short pot life epoxies have a tendency to be gummy when sanded. Cabosil provides a much stronger fillet than microballons as the epoxy actually penetrates the cabosil chrystal, not so with a micro balloon.

Rhys Chatham
View In iTunesTo preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Post-minimalist composer and New York downtown music figure Rhys Chatham was involved in music at an early age. He studied classical flute, and was already playing works by contemporary composers such as Luciano Berio and Pierre Boulez by the time he began studying composition (including serialism) in his early teens. Chatham started writing electronic works after meeting Morton Subotnick in college, and came into contact with Eliane Radigue, Maryanne Amacher, and Ingram Marshall, among others, at NYU's Studio for Electronic Music. Starting in the '70s, Chatham began composing in just intonation, and made a living tuning instruments, sometimes in trade for lessons, as he did with LaMonte Young. He played in Young's Dream House band and in a group with Tony Conrad during this time. Later in the '70s, Chatham began incorporating rock elements into his music and explored non-notated forms. The rock part of his work mainly focused on electric guitars which he was inspired to love after seeing the Ramones play at CBGB's. Chatham's guitar works — the first of which, "Guitar Trio," was premiered by a trio including Glenn Branca — were played at high volumes, revealing the overtones, which can sound like voices, but also resulted in tinnitus for him by the early '80s. Chatham's better-known guitar works include "Drastic Classicism" (1982) for four guitars with alternate tunings, and the symphony "An Angel Moves Too Fast to See" (1989) for 100 electric guitars (with bass and drums). Performances of his large-scale works utilized guitarists including Bill Brovold (who went on to form Larval) and Robert Poss (Band of Susans). Chatham began composing for brass (such as "Factor X") in addition to guitar, and resumed notating his works. After years of living in NYC, he relocated to Paris. Chatham also began incorporating his trumpeting (often electrified, with effects) after about a decade of studying the instrument. You can hear his trumpet on Hard Edge (1999, Wire Editions) and Neon (1996, NTone), an album by Chatham and Martin Wheeler. In the late '90s, Chatham co-founded the group Septile with a Bronx DJ and ex-Swans drummer Jonathan Kane.

How The Link Building Best Practices Q and A Works
To ask a link building related question, either use the POST A COMMENT link at the bottom of any post, or email it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Feel free to post as anonymous, and ask me anything you want about link building or content publicity. I moderate these questions so you wont have to read 8 million questions about how to rank first at Google for viagra.
I'll take your questions and turn them into posts where I provide my opinion on what the best practice should be for that particular topic. I don't pretend for one moment to believe that my best practices should be your best practices. I'm just using this avenue as a way to provide very specific advice and opinion developed over the course of building links for 1,000+ new and old sites from 1994 til today.
Empirical data is used infrequently to support my answers and opinions, and double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies were not conducted. I base my answers and best practice advice on what I see has worked (or not) for me.
I'm not doing this in place of my paid consulting and training, so if your question is about a specific web site or a sensitive subject that requires significant time and research for me to thoroughly answer, you might be better off trying my fee based service here.

Family Guy is, season in and season out, the most obnoxious show on broadcast television.I actually hate to say that. Not for fear of overstatement. And not for worry that I might hurt creator Seth MacFarlane's feelings. Frankly, I'm concerned that if MacFarlane happens to stumble upon this review, he might use it as a publicity snippet, or perhaps print it out and hang it in his office as confirmation of a job well done. Is Family Guy crass? Vulgar? Offensive? Inappropriate? Of course—and those are perhaps the only things Plugged In and MacFarlane would agree on. But MacFarlane's not looking for my approval, or yours, or anyone else who might long for more family-friendly content on the tube. Family Guy's not for us. Mostly, it seems like it's for folks who just don't care anymore.The show centers around the Griffin family—a dysfunctional collection of roughly animated beings who live in fictional Quahog, R.I. Peter is the clan patriarch, the titular "family guy" who makes Homer Simpson look like Ward Cleaver. His wife, Lois, and teen children Chris and Meg gamely endure his boozy, uncouth shadow—all while suffering from a variety of neuroses themselves. And then there's Stewie, a veritable James Bond villain in diapers, who sometimes hurls homoerotic double entendres as he plots to take over the world. Brian, the Griffins' ultra-rational, anthropomorphic dog, rounds out the family.We'd like to tell you more about the characters but, honestly, there's not much else to tell. The family in Family Guy is less a collection of fleshed-out characters than a mishmash of two-dimensional (literally) cutouts used as grist for the show's one-liners. The gags drive the Griffins, not the other way 'round. Which would be OK … if the gags were actually funny.Oh, Family Guy has its moments, but they're pretty sparse. Some critics have called it a knockoff of The Simpsons—a show that, for all its own problems, is endowed with far more heart and wit, even now in its waning days. Instead of heart, Family Guy doles out animated nudity. Instead of wit, Family Guy gives us fart jokes. Most episodes are rife with sexually themed gags (including a recurring pedophilic character who tries to lure teen boys into his house), and many episodes dabble in racism, too. One in 2011 demeans the work of Alcoholics Anonymous and denigrates Christianity in the same breath. This series is regularly boorish, often vile and seems overeager, almost desperate, to shock: It's a 14-year-old boy smoking in front of his parents just to see what they'll do.As such, Family Guy is a pretty sad show. And that sadness is only emphasized by the way in which is seems to want to embrace old-fashioned entertainment. It regularly pays homage to movies and sitcoms from 20, 30 even 40 years ago. MacFarlane shows a fondness for elaborate musical numbers, recalling MGM's 1950s heyday. Its rhythm feels, at times, almost vaudevillian. Clearly MacFarlane has an appreciation for the entertainments our parents and even grandparents grew up with—but not enough of one to keep from dragging it down to his lewd level.In some ways, the program's opening song illustrates both its appreciation for old-school diversions and its unapologetic break from old-school values: Lois and Peter sing the theme—much as Archie and Edith Bunker did for All in the Family in the 1970s."It seems today all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV," Lois belts out. "Where are those good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely?" Peter chimes in.The only answer MacFarlane gives us—which we dutifully reiterate—is this: Don't look for 'em here.
"It's a Trap!" The Griffin family spoofs the Star Wars film Return of the Jedi in this hour-long season finale. Lois (as Leia) frees a mooning Peter (as Han Solo) from carbonite, allowing him to release a long-held bit of flatulence. The cast is nearly pushed into the mouth of a monster they call a "giant anus in the desert." They escape, but not before they strangle Jabba the Hutt to death, bloodily cut henchmen to ribbons and give themselves nasty laser wounds. On the Death Star, Stewie (as Darth Vader) tries to turn Chris (as Luke Skywalker) to the dark side. Chris ends up accidentally breaking Stewie's neck—making Stewie angry in the Jedi afterlife.The monster is crushed under a gate. Stormtroopers bloodily die. Ewoks eat one another. References are made to masturbation, menstruation, incest, homosexuality and rubbing body parts on food as a joke. Women are drawn wearing skimpy outfits, including Leia's golden bikini. Somebody makes an anti-Semitic remark. We hear "b‑‑tard," "a‑‑," "d‑‑n," "h‑‑‑" and several bleeped obscenities, as well as misuses of God's name.
"The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair" When neighbor Peggy Swanson leaves town, Meg is asked to look in on her paraplegic husband, Joe. The girl soon develops a crush on Joe, begins dressing provocatively and grows delusional. (She breastfeeds Joe's baby and gets angry with him for not having sex with her.) She frames Peggy to get her arrested and, when Joe rebuffs Meg's advances, throws herself in front of his moving car—hoping to become paraplegic too.Meanwhile, Stewie builds a machine to amp up his evilness. The device instead makes an evil Stewie clone, who nearly strangles Brian before cutting off the dog's tail and stuffing it down the "real" Stewie's throat. (We see Stewie vomit while Brian tries to reattach his bloody tail.) The Stewie clone kills a woman by cutting her in half. He steals her car and then shatters the Kool-Aid man (lapping up the liquid with his tongue). A sex-obsessed neighbor asks Lois to have sex with him before zipping away, leaving handcuffs, a gerbil and a porn magazine behind. References are made to PMS, gambling addictions, pedophilia and smuggling cocaine. Meg lies and steals a police car and gun. Characters beat each other (including kicks to the groin) and say "d‑‑n," "h‑‑‑," "douche" and some bleeped obscenities. They misuse God's name about a dozen times.

I'll give a quick rundown of Compound It, since I believe that was the one I remember best! The objective in this adverserial was a village nestled in a (for Takistan) lush, green valley surrounded by large, open hills, and containing three weapons caches defended by GUERFOR. BLUFOR had access to two squads of two fireteams, and a chinook.
After a takeoff slightly delayed by connection problems, the chinook deposited Bravo about 6-700m southwest of the valley, on the other side of the surrounding hills, then looped around to the East, dropping Alpha a similar distance to the northeast of the caches. It then took off with the aim of circling the village, touching down in a few different locations to disguise the true LZs.
Both teams moved up to observation points on the ridges of their respective hills in order to assess the situation. The run was a little long, but it was nice to be able to move fairly freely without fear of being shot at! I followed along with Bravo, while Alpha worked on their rather steeper ascent. Upon cresting the ridge, Bravo noticed a man and a bicycle observing from the hillside across the valley. Strongly intimidated by the enemy's superior vehicle support, it was decided that a stealthy approach was unfeasible and/or inglorious, and Bravo were sent charging headlong down the hill to a walled house about 50m from the southern cache, covered by 40mm and thrown smoke grenades, with the aim of quickly assaulting the compound before a response could be mustered.
With Alpha spreading out along their ridgeline to engage targets in the north of the village, Bravo quickly gained entry to the compound, only to immediately come under fire from the southeast, with grenades and bullets signalling the approach of several annoyed men through the bushes. With Bravo taking several casualties, the cache was hastily located and blown up, followed by a fairly successful staged withdrawal while the wounded were attended to by the ever-competent Tigershark.
Alpha reported heavy casualties sustained moving into the northwest of the village, so their 5 and Bravo's 6-ish were tasked to meet up in a compound southwest of the cache by about 100m of tree-lined path. On reaching the compound, heavy fire from the town to the east pinned down the remaining troops.
At this point I was shot, IIRC, but I believe the survivors were able to work their way around north to meet up with the last of Alpha, staging a final assault on the cache area in 2-3 groups. Tigershark flanked around behind several OPFOR, taking them down before being wounded just as the round was called (I forget who the official victors were, though!)
All in all, a nice run -- with enough scale and open space to feel less claustrophobic than some of the other village-defense missions, while not being too dispersed as to make finding a fight difficult.
Red Snow started rather slowly due to some confusion about the paradrop system, with two of my teammates dying to it and one landing very far away -- not sure to what extent this was the script's fault, and what was down to the human element! However I and Kefirz were eventually able to meet up with the rest of our northern assault group as we moved into, IIRC, Berezino to blow up various targets and shoot various mans. Although taking heavy casualties from soldiers and shilkas guarding the town, I believe we were able to complete most of the objectives.
Crateresistance was a little under-manned, but my fireteam was able to flank an enemy one as they moved in on a cache, only for me to get shot while pumping rounds into someone who was desyncing. C'est la vie! Still a fun little rom, overall.

I thought I was done with having to see Chan's sp again, getting kind of sick of it even tho it's a beautiful program.
Base on the participants' Seaons's Best the outcome would be
Gold or Silver Japan:11+7+10+8+11+7=54
Gold or Silver USA: 8+5+12+7+10+12=54
Bronze Canada:12+4+3+3+9+11=42
4th France:10+9+4+1+7+10=41
5th Russia:3+2+9+6+12+9=41
6th Italy:6+1+11+5+8+8=39
This makes it look like US has a real shot at gold against Japan and everyone else is fighting for bronze.
My money's on Japan for the gold over Canada (who I think will get silver). I think Canada has more potential for first place finishes overall ( as well as what I'm guessing will be a good placement by the quickly improving Duhamel/Radford), but ladies singles will likely be a huge problem for us (though Japan has an equal downfall in the dance, singles counts for more here.) I'd guess USA for bronze (seriously lacking depth in pairs, and to some extent in ladies and mens as well), because I simply don't think the Russain team is strong enough. Unfortunately for the US and Canada, only having one entry for ice dance is gonna hurt.

Да, Sotnikova is higher than Tuktamysheva both in World Standings and Season's World Rankings.
Но ... does that suggest that Makarova chose not to have any WTT role? She is higher than Sotnikova in World Standings, and higher than Tuktamysheva and Shelepen on both lists.

18 983 Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA
24 860 Polina SHELEPEN
You got that right After her long program at Worlds, Makarova was no longer needed, she kept 3 spots for next season. She probably wasn't even asked to boot. She has 2 grand prix events next season and I'm sure Russia will throw her some Senior B's every once in a while
Japan sort of lucks out with this format. The focus is on singles skating which is their forte and in ice dance oddly enough they could be one spot away from say I and K or C and L realistically yet they are no where close score wise. Pretty lucky it is on ordinal points otherwise Japan might be more in trouble to say the US or Russia. Canada will be in trouble with the women and second men. USA will be okay now that they dumped Czisny. Who would have thought Czisny would place behind Lacoste at world's.
Go Team Japan! I wish Japan (Dai and Akiko) would close the season with a bang and win the World team trophy! Who knows they can also win in Sochi!

Yanks, Red Sox set for key AL East weekend clash
The American League East race is for the birds, as the Blue Jays and the Orioles pace the division, leaving the Yankees and the Red Sox jostling for position ahead of the woeful Rays.
New York is currently closer to the top than the defending World Series champions, thanks in part to its five wins in seven meetings with Boston this season. The Yankees sit only 2 1/2 games out of first place entering this weekend's series in the Bronx.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox are 7 1/2 games back and could use a few big wins against their rivals, as they are just 13-19 against division foes this season. A 4-2 record in their past two AL East series against Baltimore and Tampa Bay is a good start.
But as New York and Boston are in uncharted territory as part of a rivalry that has a rich history of producing the AL frontrunner, so are Friday's starters -- Sox right-hander Brandon Workman and Yanks left-hander Vidal Nuno.
The duo has pitched a combined three innings -- over four relief appearances by Workman last season -- as part of the rivalry. Given his experience against the Yankees as well as his 2.88 ERA this season, the Red Sox must like Workman's chances.
Workman has kept games close with a 3.21 ERA in five starts this season. Boston is 2-3 in those outings, but the average margin of victory is 1.8 runs per game. The past two have been decided by one run, including a 3-2 loss to the Indians on June 15.
The 25-year-old, who is making his first start since serving a six-game suspension for throwing behind Rays' third baseman Evan Longoria, gave up two earned runs in six innings for his second consecutive quality start after one-hitting the Orioles in 6 2/3 scoreless innings at Camden Yards only five days earlier on June 10.
"He's growing. He feels more comfortable throwing his curveball, and he throws it in bigger situations," Red Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski said of Workman on June 15. "He can bounce it, he can throw it for a strike, move it around and change speeds on you. So it's nice if you have more than one weapon to get guys out with."
Nuno's past two starts have been quite the opposite of Workman's past two gems. The lefty surrendered 12 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings against Oakland and Baltimore, an offensive onslaught aided by five home runs.
The three homers he surrendered against the Orioles on June 21 upped his total to 13 surrendered in 39 1/3 innings at Yankee Stadium this season.
"It's just how I approached guys, and leaving fastballs like that, sometimes I get hit hard," Nuno said. "I trusted all my stuff today, but they got to my fastball."
Yankees: Teixeira making steady progress
Mark Teixeira finished 1-for-4 with a homer and three RBIs on Wednesday night, giving him a hit in 12 of his past 14 games. He is batting .250 (13-for-52) during the stretch, with two doubles, four homers, 12 RBIs and five walks during that span.
Despite the run of success, the streak has only raised Teixeira's batting average from .238 to .241, which is on pace to be the second-worst mark of his career.
Red Sox: Getting some much-needed rest
Boston is off on Thursday after flying from Seattle to New York following Wednesday night's 5-4 win at Safeco Field, ending a stretch of 36 games in 37 days. The only off-day during the run, which began on May 20, came on June 5.
The Red Sox went 16-20 during the stretch, losing four games in the AL East standings.
Worth noting
• David Ortiz needs three extra-base hits to reach 1,000 for his career. He has 530 doubles, 18 triples and 449 home runs.
• The Yankees are 27-10 this season when they lead after three innings.

Gentoo faster than Ubuntu? What else is new
LinuxMag has made a performance comparison of Gentoo at various gcc optimization levels against the previous release of Ubuntu (9.04).
The X11 and 3D performance comparison is not meaningful, as they compare different versions of the NVidia proprietary driver. But other benchmarks are quite interesting.
Their conclusion:
Of course the decision for or against Gentoo is not primarily due to performance, as the commenters point out.Originally Posted by http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7574/3/
Gentoo faster than Ubuntu? What else is new
Nice results, good to see some flags have meaningful impact on performance.
Different versions of Kernel, X server, Nvidia driver and completely different DEs. What conclusions can possibly be drawn from such a "comparison"?
With a little work the Gentoo system could have had the same versions of everything.
@krazy: actually they did match DEs - both Xfce4, but your point still stands.
I wanna see Archlinux thrown into the mix as well.
What's not faster than Ubuntu? Possibly Slowaris, but I can't think of anything else.
@krazy: Phoronix already tested the performance of different kernels. Some tasks are faster and some slower, but the assumption that kernel version skewed the results is not consistent with the almost sweeping win of the 2.6.30 based system over 2.6.28.
Different X server and NVidia driver affect X11 and 3D performance (that is why I said that this part of the comparison is meaningless), but not media encoding, database or similar tasks.
Both systems had the same gcc version and the same filesystem, so I would guess that the compute and I/O results are mostly valid.
a comparison of "time to install" would be fun
