There is definitely a hint of autumn in the air and in other places, too. Yes, the cool dawn air is sweet, clean and sharp from our cold nights.
The rising sun is welcome and warming, but afternoon showers soon cool things off again. There are signs of fall, also.The first aspen tree in the valley below our house has turned golden and is now beginning to lose its leaves. The grasses are ripening their seed heads, so our hillside is now a warm tawny tan, with splotches of green from weeds and bits of red from wood beauty cinquefoil and wild roses.
One of my dad's favorite stories about me is when he took me to the Big Top to buy a kite when I was 5. We found everything we needed for 97 cents. I handed my dollar to the store clerk and waited for change. When I asked for it, he told me it was for the governor. I said I didn't want to buy a governor. After my dad and the clerk explained that the governor was going to use my 3 cents for the road to get to the store and the school I would soon attend, I acquiesced and let him keep the change I had anticipated.
As in physics, politics has a handful of immutable laws. One of these is the Law of Overreaching, which states that the party in power will inevitably overreach.
Majority parties tend to act as though the entire population shares their core agenda. The problem with this, of course, is that for the most part no majority is possible without the support of a sizable number of voters who aren't affiliated with either party.
Students returned to West Jefferson Middle School at midmorning Wednesday after the school was evacuated when a teacher found a suspicious package in the school. The box turned out to be full of garden tools.
School district spokeswoman Lynn Setzer said the 583 students at West Jeff were taken to Conifer High School after the package was discovered about 6:30 a.m. The evacuation occurred about 8 a.m.
Setzer said the Jefferson County sheriff's bomb squad reported to the school and determined the package was not hazardous. Students then were bused back to the school.
Do you ever wish that your children could experience up close and personal the wonder of orchestral music? All too frequently, symphonic and chamber works are set in a stuffy, silent, straight-laced setting that isn't conducive to the often restless and curious nature of children. The Evergreen Chamber Orchestra has changed all of that with its upcoming Children's Music Hour.
On Sunday, Sept. 27, 13 members of the esteemed mountain orchestra will open the doors to music for children of all ages in a concert at the Center for the Arts Evergreen.
An Evergreen woman suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries in an encounter with an elk about 11 a.m. Sept. 22 on South San Souci Drive, near Dedisse Park and Troutdale Scenic Drive, about a mile from downtown Evergreen.
A neighbor who talked to the woman's husband said she was heading back to her car after retrieving a small dog. She didn't see the elk before it attacked her and knocked her to the ground.
A herd of about 17 elk was in the woman's yard at the time, said the neighbor, who did not want to be identified.
The Mount Evans Highway is officially closed for the season.
The road to the 14,264-foot summit, Colorado 5, is billed as North America's highest paved highway, state officials announced Sept 23. The road was closed after two days of intermittent snow.
Officials from the Jeffco Midget Football Association will meet this week to decide how to handle a local outbreak of H1N1 flu that has already forced cancellation of several games.
Rebecca Schloegl, office manager of the South Jeffco Sports Association and past president of the JMFA, said several games have been canceled because team members have confirmed cases of H1N1 flu " and more cancellations could be coming.
The Jeffco Public Library and the county's Workforce Center are taking their campaign for computer literacy on the road. Literally.
The county last week unveiled the eTrain Mobile Training Lab, a converted bookmobile that boasts eight computer stations with access to the Internet. The vehicle's driver also serves as a trainer, and will lead classes in Internet skills and career-building for clients of nonprofits and for small businesses around Jefferson, Gilpin and Clear Creek counties.
Evergreen, the reigning Class 4A state champions, topped Lakewood in a gymnastics dual meet, 165.425 to 155.575 on Sept. 17 at Lakewood High School.
The Cougars, who figure to be pushed by Elizabeth for the 4A crown, have gone through some injuries as of late. Micala Mitchek is currently out of action, as is Dani Adams, who injured her ankle in the Lakewood meet. Jessica Himmelman and Elise Pate are also out with injuries.

Shinsetsu Shiawase Usagi F: Yūjō yori mo Aiyoku (TurboGrafx CD)
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. 2.6
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings. |
This installment of Shiawase Usagi abandons the heroines of the two previous games in favor of characters curiously named after Neon Genesis Evangelion heroes: the protagonist is called Shinji, the love interests Misato and Asuka, etc. The plot, however, has little to do with that of the anime series: the hero is a horny young man (aren't we all?) who is watching a porn movie and decides to get some real "action". Afterwards, it becomes a series of sexual encounters, which proceed depending on the player's choices.Being a visual novel, the game can develop into different directions story-wise. The only gameplay consists of deciding where to go and/or what to do. Depending on the player's decisions, the story will be concluded with various endings, "happy" as well as "bad".

It is beautiful and I get complements, but.... The fabric is thin. My dog jumped on the bed and her nails left a couple holes. I would buy it again if I did not have animals or someone else that could damage this delicate bedding. It is also very cozy to sleep under.

Beautiful, but uncomforable I love the way the set looks all together. It looked just the way I wanted to. However, the fabric is not soft. It's not at all comfortable. Fortunately, I only want it for appearance purposes. I just take it off when I sleep. Also, I think the foam in the center flattens out when you lay on it. Needless to say, I was a little disappointed. I'm happy with my choice though. I bought a queen size for my full sized bed. It fits perfectly, so if you have a queen, I would upgrade to the king size set. The color looked spot on, too.

Looks great, on trend Bought this online after looking at every department, off-department store and bedding specialty store near me. Found a similar one at another bedding store that was 100% cotton which would wrinkle easy and not have that intentionial rouched look. Pulled this one out of the bag and want to dive into bed every time i walk into my bedroom. Looks great all day long with almost any accent pillow color. My kids have jumped on, pulled on, dove under and it goes right back to looking adult and refined the minute they are out of the room. Overall look is lush, inviting, expensive. My outdoorsy-mountain man husband likes it too. Not too girly. The ONLY drawback I have is when you make the bed, you have to sometimes hit adjust sides twice to get equal lineup and rouching. Totally worth it. Recommend to anyone looking for a new look.

Beautiful...but king is too tiny! BEAUTIFUL COLOR GREY...and super soft! But sadly if you have a king size bed this bedding is extremely long and super narrow (102 inches wide) , wouldn't even cover the top of my mattress. If you have a queen bed, buy the king size and it will fit perfect but you have a king, you are out of luck!

Loved the Look but not the Size The comforter was beautiful and would have been perfect but the King size I received barely came over either side of the bed. I sent it back thinking I may have received the wrong size by mistake. Overstock gladly sent me a new one right away, but sadly it was the same size so I had to return it and will have to find something else.

Would not recommend This looked so pretty online. However, when it arrived the quality of the product was nothing like how it looked in the photo. More importantly, the size is NOT accurate. I ordered a King size and it barely covered the top on the mattress. It seems more like a queen. After reading the reviews, I discovered that this happened to several people.

Falling Apart This is a beautiful comforter... but we have had this for 3 months now and it is literally falling apart. The color is great and the look is unique, but it has already come unsown a few times with in 3 months, the fill isn't staying in place and it has become very flimsy and not put together very well. Not made very well but it looks great! Going to be looking to replace it soon.. hopefully I will have better luck. Also, it is very hot if you live in the south.

Questions & Answers
It looks so beautiful in the cream color.
great price, great reviews, hope the size will fit my king bed as I measured.
my 16 year old daughter loves it
Is the king comforter the same size as the California king?
Please refer to Dimensions under the Product Details Tab. It will give all of the exact dimensions.
The item says that it is DRY CLEAN only, but product reviews say that you can machine wash. Is it machine washable? Please explain.
The manufacturer recommends dry-cleaning this product, but most "dry clean only" products can be washed by hand or in a machine. However, you run the risk of damaging the garment if you go against the manufacturer''s advice.
what color is this
This four-piece comforter set is gray.
I ordered a king but it barely came over either side of the bed. Did anyone else experience this?
Thank you for your inquiry. We have not had any previous buyers cite this as an issue, and we are sorry that you had an unpleasant experience.

Transfer PricingJahlesha GilbertFayetteville State University - School of Business and Economics Henry P. McMillanFayetteville State University - School of Business and Economics K. Berrak WaltersFayetteville State University - School of Business and Economics February 5, 2013 Abstract: This paper examines transfer pricing in general. First, three different approaches to transfer pricing options and their advantages and disadvantages are investigated. Based on the analysis, it is difficult to make recommendations on the best transfer pricing methods. Next, the international aspect of transfer pricing is examined. This paper illustrates that transfer pricing is a major issue in multinational organizations, since transfer pricing plays a major role in corporate taxation strategies. Also, ethical issues in regard to transfer pricing and its effects on personnel is examined in this paper. It is concluded that transfer pricing can create conflicts; however, it is a tool for performance evaluation and can motivate personnel and align corporate and personnel goals when practiced strategically.

Transducers (for depth sounders)
Hi All. I'm wanting to install a depth sounder on my 28ft sloop. There is currently a very nice bronze through hull transducer installed in it but there the boat came with no face unit. It would be ideal if I could buy a face unit that is compatible with the transducer that is already installed. This would lead to a minimal amount of work dealing with the fairing blocks, etc. So what I'd like to determine is:
a) a method to test the current through hull transducer to see if it works. Anybody know how to do this? b) what face units are compatible with the transudcer if it does work? Or, what characteristics of transducers lead to their compatibilty with face units? Thanks. |
Many of the transducer units are made by Airmar, and may be compatible with a number of head units. What you need to do is find out what frequency transducer it is, and if possible what brand OEM'd the part. If you get the same brand of instrument as was originaly attached to the head, there is a higher chance that they'll work together. However, you may find that a new head unit is almost as expensive as getting the head unit with transducer. In that case, I'd spring the extra money and get the new transducer as well. |

Album Review
If you feel like joining in the debate on whether
the Stranglers
were really a punk band, and you fancy being a witness for the prosecution, you could do worse than hunt down these pre-first album demos. Yep, they definitely sped things up a little hereafter. Most interesting of all is a version of "Strange Little Girl," one of
the Stranglers
' finest pop singles, several years before it was finally released.

Coming to your neighborhood
When I was a boy, my father's farms and all the others around had signs posted:
"Trespassers Will Be Shot On Sight"
----- called yesterday afternoon late, to tell us while she and ----- were at work, and the boys at the academy, their place was broken into everything of value they owned was stolen and the place left in an absolute mess everything emptied out of the drawers closets etc......... a neighbor said he saw two black males between the age of 18 to 21 leaving their home, cops came got one good set of prints but little good I suspect that will do ----- the cops said it was the 7th such burglary in the immediate area in 2 weeks.............Where the ---- were the cops? if they knew there was that much crime going on..........kids lost everything tv stereo guitars amps anything sell-able or pawn-able they are very shaken up I am very very pissed, their home owners insurance does not cover burglary because they couldn't afford the rider on the policy because of the crime level in Hope Mills and Fayettenam......I feel so helpless for them. sure I can send my wages from this week, but it won't make a dent in replacing what they lost The scariest part of all was the neighbor said they had left only minutes before ----- and the boys got home...........so I am thankful that she didn't walk in on them.....but I am still so pissed off..............I can not tolerate a thief..........next to a child molester/murderer they are on my list of scumbags................

Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance
Hack Flyable Ships
In the X-Wing Alliance File under Lucasarts, find the text file ''SHIPLIST'' and change ''Non flyable'' on any capitol or unflyable ship to ''Flyable''. This will allow you to fly any ship, even the Super Star Destroyer, in the Combat Simulator.

Easter Eggs
Get all missions and medals
Create a new pilot called FongFong.
Start the game up, and then exit from the game.
Go to the game directory which is typically C:\Program Files\LucasArts\XWingAlliance<p />And find the file
Delete it.
Start the game again, this time all the missions will be unlocked from the game, and playable in the simulator, as well as all the cutscenes made available, AND all the awards will be in your characters room in the game.
It looks like it was some sort of easter egg along the same lines as the ace.plt files in the Xwing Collectors edition game.Contributed By: GreyLord.

MLB.com's Matthew Leach posted this video showcasing Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey's knuckleball, which just makes you feel sorry for the catcher.
Dickey's knuckler is notoriously difficult to catch, and as a result, the Jays will be assigning their new ace a personal catcher for the 2013 season. They will make the decision soon after the World Baseball Classic, according to manager John Gibbons.
The Jays can choose between Josh Thole, who caught Dickey in 66 of the right-hander's 91 starts over the last three seasons, and Henry Blanco, who caught seven of Dickey's 27 starts in 2010 with the Mets. Either catcher would be the back-up to J.P. Arencibia. Arencibia spent the off-season learning to catch Dickey's knuckler — without a cup.
- chill1184 - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:03 PM
I can only imagine how good his numbers are going to be by pitching in a dome.
- lja76 - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:18 PM
im a mets fan. and guys hes gooooooood. hes bound for a no hitter sooner then later. you guys are almost guaranteed for at least 5 one hit games. butt……… i noticed one flaw in him. he seems to choke, not badly, but not his usual dominating stuff in big games. i hope im wrong, especially since im a mets fan 1st and yankee hater 2nd. but i did notice that one flaw on him. damn i miss him already.
- paint771 - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:42 PM
Thumbs up for the ordering of your baseball fandom.
I have a feeling that this Blue Jays – Mets trade is the start of a beautiful fanbase friendship.
- cur68 - Mar 1, 2013 at 11:09 PM
Well, with any luck the offence, which projects to be pretty damn good, might make it pretty moot as to if RA has to be en fuego in big games.
Here's hoping Wilpon and Alderson look after those kids The Beavz sent over to NY in exchange. They should pretty good in a season or two, so have some hope.
- xxakshunxx - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:25 PM
Glad he's out of the NL East.. Not only is he good but he'd throw off a teams offense for an extra day or two after facing him
- paint771 - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:44 PM
Yeah, and right after him they would face Brandon Morrow.
People poo-poo it, but it will be real interesting to see if different pitcher looks in the setting of a rotation has an effect. Because you won't be able to get a better test case than Dickey-Morrow-Buerhle-Johnson-Romero.
- paperlions - Mar 2, 2013 at 10:15 AM
People poo-poo it because studies have looked for an effect of starter type in game sequences and can't find one.
- Reggie's Bush - Mar 1, 2013 at 10:34 PM
I'm a mets fan, and I love R.A. He was great for us in an otherwise shitty time.
The one thing I would say is (spoiler alert) he is old – not that it matters for his arm, but his body might be giving out. Plantar fasciitis the year before, torn abdominal a this year…
Not saying it's necessarily true but something to watch out for. Wishing the best for Dickey!!

Q. Where are mayflies located in a river, stream, or a pond and what do they eat?
Mayflies are found just about everywhere
in flowing water - on and under rocks and
woody debris, burrowing in the sand and
muddy substratum, on plant stems and
leaves - you name it, they'll be there.
They are not free-swimming, however, although
some do leave the substratum for brief excursions
into the water column. In ponds and lakes,
though, they are pretty much restricted to
the shallow water regions except for one family
that inhabits the muddy bottom in deeper water.
Mayflies are herbivorous, carnivorous, and
omnivorous. They feed on algae and other
microinvertebrates that they scrape from
the surface of stones, collect detritus by
scavenging or filtering it from the water
column, and some species feed on smaller
invertebrates. ~ Bert
If you have a question, please feel free to contact me.
The 'Stream Doctor' is a retired professional stream ecologist and
author, now living in the West and spending way too much time

Technical Data |
WD Repeat Domain 4 Protein (WDR4, WD Repeat-Containing Protein 4) |
Description: This protein is a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. The gene encoding this protein is excluded as a candidate for a form of nonsyndromic deafness (DFNB10), but is still a candidate for other disorders mapped to 21q22.3 as well as for the development of Down syndrome phenotypes. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000-1:2000 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. |

Adelaide United set for first hit out in front of new coach
Adelaide United will have their first pre-season match in front of new coach Rini Coolen tonight.
The Reds take on the Perth Glory at Hindmarsh Stadium which will be the first match day duties the Dutchman will take on.
Coolen said it was not an ideal situation heading into the match with a few unavailable players but said the job would go on as normal.
"It's not easy. Normally two weeks before the first game you would prefer to play this game with the squad that you run out with in Round 1, but it's not the way it is so it's a bit of a problem, but we need to find out if we can get a good squad together for the match against Jets," Coolen said.
"In at least the last two trial games leading up to the season, you want to play the players that you will play in your first game, but that's not possible and unfortunately that's the way it is. It's not easy, but we have to be ready for the first game."
Those unavailable players are veteran goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic (knee injury), young stopper Mark Birighitti, midfielder Mathew Leckie (both Australian U20 duties), and Francesco Monterosso who is ill. Takumi Takahashi, a goalkeeper for Super League side Western Strikers, will take the keeping duties.

Goodmans 200C 12inch fullrange speaker
I bought a pair these speakers and was wondering if any body out there knows the specs for these speakers.
Thanks Nigel |

I've got a pair of Goodmans Twinax 220cs which, IIRC from a recent ebay auction, look exactly like the 200c.
I finally got around to measuring them recently: Driver A: Fs 32.3 Hz Re 12.2 Ohm Qms 13.33 Qes 1.02 Qts 0.945 Driver B: Fs 31.7 Hz Re 12.6 Ohm Qms 11.27 Qes 1.01 Qts 0.927 Not bad for consistency. Fs matched within .5 Hz, Qt within 2%. I started trying to calculate Vas with added mass, but was getting inconsistent results. Given the high Qt of these, I'll be using them on open or U baffles, so Vas is moot anyhow. Max

Hi nkg
I still own a pair that I bought many years ago - my first real speakers. I also own Goodmans 12 base units, 8" units and mid and treble horns. The 12" base and full range units were originally designed to be used in large cabinets with a restricted vent. The cabinet size was approx 1.3m high 0.6 m wide and 0.4m deep. The vent was approx 30cm by 20cm and covered in fine loose felt held on a metal mesh. The instructions did say that the vent could be partly uncovered or additional covering added depending on the room. If the cabinet is rigid they produce truly great base and go very low. I only stopped using then due to the growing frequency of requests for a smaller speaker - they do sort of dominate the room. I eventually built corner brick enclosures in my last house and that really worked! I think I also have the crossover frequency information if you want that. Hope that helps |

Goodmans twinaxiom 200c Woofers
Hay Folks, can anyone please have a look at my Godmans 12" Twinaxiom 200c Drivers to check whether they have ORIGINAL Woofer layers in them or it should actually be pressed paper instead of some sort of plastic on them.
Here is the link to my Photos: https://plus.google.com/photos/10396...85951423912193 Many thanks |

That's original. They are pressed paper with some sort of foamy shiny plastic coating on the front side.

According to elementary school principals in the Medical Lake School District, parents are excited about all-day kindergarten in the upcoming school year.
Although not funded by the state this year, the two elementary schools in the district will begin all-day kindergarten. At the Tuesday, Aug. 27 school board meeting, Superintendent Dr. Pam Veltri said the district sacrificed a curriculum adoption to make it happen. Hallett Elementary will have three kindergarten classes and Michael Anderson Elementary will have four.
Hallett principal Cindy McSmith said she and Michael Anderson principa...

# 11
UMOTH PRIME; PLANET; USS. Richthofen (Shuttle Craft)
Lt. Alem shook his head, an hour of loud screaming and getting bumped around in the pilot's seat. How did our ancestors do it he mumbled; he didn't expect anyone to hear him but you couldn't hide anything from that half Bajoran/Betazed. Lt. Cho'arie just laughed as twelve kids crawled and jumped on each other playing starship Soldier games. Its probably the first time in a long time, these children were allowed to be children.
My grandmother used to tell us stories about the occupation and the settlements I seem to understand where these kids are coming from. It was a little strange for Chip to hear, afterall Cho was more Bajoran than anything and didn't usually show good nature when Cardassians were involved. I guess so, but I feel like I've been thrown under a stampeded of Telleran Mountain Goats with the noise and rough play.
There was no response from Cho this time, she was busy punching buttons on the sensors. She looked over at Chip, we've got trouble. The Captain's group is at the settlement and so are a group of Romulans. The two adult Cardassians in the back knew something was going on in the front and busily began gathering the children and quieting the passanger area.
"Very Good Captain, you are correct about the tea, I'm Commander Vesna; The Romulan Star Empire wants to thank you for collecting this group of conspiritors." a sultry female voice said form behind them. despite the heat ice shot through him, after a moment he forced the feeling down and comely rolled over on his elbow and used his other had to tip his hat back to where he could see her and the Romulan solders who were now standing over them, disrupters ready.
the solders were tense like a taut bow, waiting for there commanders single. Raymundo had to think fast to defuse the situation. Putting in as much of his Latino charm as he could muster he said, "Howdy Senorita, fancy meeting yourself here" he rolled up on his back and rolled forward and jumped to his feet and placed his hat over his chest in one graceful motion. "Now i don't take too kindly to accutisitans of who did what and why someone acted as they did for I myself don't have all the answers." he reached for one of the packs on his belt and the two bodyguards to the Commander raised their weapons at him, Vesna raised her hand giving the odd human a hard stare.
Form the pack Ray produced a small isoliner chip, "I do admit that morning tea sound lovely and my friends could use some refreshing as well, on here is a replicator orders for some of the best Turkish coffee you have ever had." he bounced the light green rod in his hand a few times before turning his eyes to the Commander. "It also has some of Starfleets latest data on the area Jem`Hadar, what we could get at least. all I need is someone....trustworthy, tell me Commander lest settle down and talk about what we know."
The female Romulan Commander just looked at Captain Salas with amusement. Not many Starfleet officers would just jump up and start casual dialogue with armed Romulans surrounding him. Captain, we just arrived to the farm to continue our investigations. Please join us while Sub-Commander Dremoss takes CARE of the prisoners. At first, that comment didn't quite sound right to Ray, especially the Care part. Still, he escorted Commander Vesna towards the farm house for a nice cup of Coffee. Maybe he'd be able to learn more of what exactly is going on and have a better picture of whether the Cardassians were or were not conspirators to the Admiral's murder.
Once inside the strong sweet aroma of the spiced tea took Ray's memories back to his childhood and the various spiced teas his grandmother used to drink. Still, over the years he'd fallen more towards his brand of poison...the Turkish Coffee. The Commander spoke again as she poured hot water into two cups one with the hot spiced tea; We monitored the approach of the Cardassians Captain, we just began the investigation and there are some very interesting items in the farm house which you should see before making judgement on the innosence of these Cardassians. Captain Salas thought to himself, wow now this is going to be interesting. Commander, can you enlighten me a little of what I'll be walking into at the farm house.
Commander Vesna handed the Captain one cup; We will easily be able to prove that the Cardassians were heading to a weapons stock pile among other things. One of the guards found the butt of a weapon underneath a pile of hay and after shoveling that miserable stuff, found several Jem Hadar rifles and body armor.

Floral Wall Art
By: Stephanie Sims
This is a fun project for one to do for Mother's day. It involves real flowers and some artistic abilities. Personalize it with her initials. This is great to hang on the wall once it is framed.
- A piece of plain cloth (we used a loose cotton)
- A rounded rock or hammer
- Flowers and leaves
- If you'd like to frame your art when you're done, then you'll need an embroidery frame or a picture frame, or hung scroll-style from sticks is beautiful.
- Get your favorite gathering basket, and go collecting with your favorite children – look for fresh, fallen blooms and petals, and gather a few leaves as well.
- (note: your fresh design may not look the same when it dries– many flowers will change colors.)
- Cut your cloth to your desired size.
- I traced letters lightly with pencil (for a pattern) onto our cloths for my babes to follow.
- We pressed them directly into the cloth– with another cloth underneath it to protect the fabric fibers from getting too damaged.
- sidenotes: The cloth underneath will also be imprinted with colors, so use something that can be marred.
- Light taps directly on the petals and leaves will do the trick – mashing the colors and fibers of the petals into the cloth.
- When the children were done tapping the flowers, I placed them into the clothes dryer to heat and to set the colors into the cloth.
- Hang them in framing as you wish.

Although idiopathic steroid resistant optic neuritis is very uncommon, there is no established treatment protocol for such patients. Toll like receptors (TLRs) especially TLR-9 has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of optic neuritis. This small case series aims to determine whether immunomodulators directed specifically at TLR-9(i.e. TLR-9 antagonism)play any role in improving the visual function in such patients.

Warn of launching a sustained agitation if the demand is not met
Farmers threaten to boycott the elections
'There should be no blanket notification of land'
MANGALORE: Farmers opposed to the Mangalore Special Economic Zone (MSEZ) have set a deadline for de-notification of their lands.
At a meeting with the Deputy Commissioner M. Maheswar Rao on Thursday, farmers and residents from the villages notified for Phase II of the MSEZ project gave the district administration 20 days to de-notify their lands. Phase II of the project covers 2,035 acres of land in the four villages of Permude, Ekkaru, Delantha Bettu and Kuthethoor.
If their demands were not met, they have threatened to launch a sustained agitation. They have also threatened to boycott the Assembly elections.
The agitators were led by the Krishi Bhoomi Samrakshana Samiti (KBSS).
In a memorandum submitted to the Deputy Commissioner, the KBSS said the promoters of the project should buy land individually from the people who were willing to sell it. There should be no blanket notification of land, the samiti said.
The Rs. 35,000-crore Mangalore Special Economic Zone project has suffered a setback after a central committee of experts recommended to the Ministry of Environment and Forests in early March against going ahead with the Phase II of the project.
At the meeting, president of the KBSS Madhukar Amin demanded Mr. Rao to work as per the recommendations of the central committee and not side with the promoters of the project. He also quoted the Board of Approvals for SEZs and said that there was a direction that land for an SEZ could not be acquired forcibly.
A member of the KBSS said: "Senior officials in Bangalore have told us that you are keen on pushing the project through. Your job is to represent our aspirations not stifle them."
Several villagers also pleaded with Mr. Rao to ensure that their lives were not affected. "We will erect your statue in our villages if you protect our land and livelihood," said Lawrence D'Cunha, secretary of the KBSS.
The farmers told Mr. Rao that with the sowing season fast approaching they were still unclear about their future. "We are not sure if we should prepare our land for this season or not," said John Pinto, one of the farmers.

An active Republican, Calhoun served as a senator in the Iowa state legislature from 1933 to 1937. In 1936, he mounted an unsuccessful campaign for Congress. Upon leaving the legislature, Calhoun moved to Burlington where he began a new law firm while continuing his affiliation in Keosauqua.
John Calhoun was a member of the National Guard. During World War II, he was released for active service in the army. Stationed in the Middle East as part of the Judge Advocate General's Office for most of the war, he held the rank of lieutenant colonel when discharged in 1946.
Following his tour of duty, Calhoun returned to Burlington and his legal practice. In 1948, he again mounted a campaign for the Senate; however, he failed to secure his party's nomination. Active in both professional and civic affairs, Calhoun belonged to the Rotary, American Legion, and various other service organizations. John N. Calhoun died in 1972.
The next grouping
relates to his campaign for a US Senate seat in 1936. His nomination papers,
campaign expenses, schedules, advertising, and party correspondence are some
of the files in this section. Court cases and legal briefs make up the legal
materials division. His World War II service is documented with photos, family
correspondence, and military records. The final series titled Post World War
II political career consists of material from his 1948 campaign for the US

Entrepreneurial Finance: Banks versus Venture CapitalAndrew WintonUniversity of Minnesota - Twin Cities - Carlson School of Management Vijay YerramilliUniversity of Houston, C. T. Bauer College of Business December 2006 Abstract: We analyze how entrepreneurial firms choose between two funding institutions: banks, who monitor less intensively and face liquidity demands from their own investors, and venture capitalists, who can monitor more intensively but face a higher cost of capital due to the liquidity constraints that they impose on their own investors. Because the firm's manager prefers continuing the firm over liquidating it, and aggressive continuation strategies over conservative strategies, the institution must monitor the firm and exercise some control over its decisions. Bank finance takes the form of debt, whereas venture capital finance often resembles convertible debt. Venture capital finance is optimal only when (1) the aggressive continuation strategy is not too profitable, ex-ante; (2) the firm faces high uncertainty in its choice of continuation strategy; and (3) the firm's cash flow distribution is highly risky and positively skewed, with low probability of success, low liquidation value, and high returns if successful. A decrease in venture capitalists' cost of capital encourages firms to switch from safe strategies and bank finance to riskier strategies and venture capital finance, increasing the average risk of firms in the economy.

Tennessee Tech (6-6) at Green Bay (6-3) The Sports Network DATE & TIME: Tuesday, December 17, 8 p.m. (ET) FACTS & STATS: Site: Resch Center (9,729) -- Green Bay, Wisconsin. Television: TWC Sports. Home Record: TTU 4-1, Green Bay 3-1. Away Record: TTU 2-3, Green Bay 1-1. Neutral Record: TTU 0-2, Green Bay 2-1. Conference Record: TTU 0-0, Green Bay 0-0. Series Record: Tennessee Tech leads, 1-0. GAME NOTES: Green Bay begins a run of five straight games at home tonight, as the Phoenix entertain the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles in non-conference action. Green Bay has just returned from a two-game road trip that included stops at Eastern Michigan and South Dakota, the latest resulting in an 89-85 victory versus the Coyotes on Saturday night in Vermillion. The victory was the third in the last four outings for the Phoenix and moved the team to an even 1-1 in true road games. As for the Golden Eagles, they managed to balance their record at 6-6 on Sunday when they played the third of four straight road games against Lamar and came away with a 79-74 victory. After tonight's contest, Tech will return home to face Hillsdale College on Thursday before kicking off another three- game road trip on Dec. 28 at Utah Valley. Tennessee Tech won the only previous meeting between the programs last December by a score of 74-68 at home. The Golden Eagles shot a sizzling 66.7 percent from the field in the first half against Lamar, allowing the visitors to overcome 12 turnovers in the period and build a 13-point halftime lead. After the break, Tech nearly let the game slip away, but it held on for the victory despite 21 miscues and only 5-of-17 shooting beyond the arc. Dennis Ogbe accounted for 17 points, Ty Allen 15 and both Shirmane Thomas and Ladon Carter 12 points, the latter also coming up with a game-high 12 rebounds for the visitors as they produced a 34-24 edge on the glass. With 12 games in the books, the Golden Eagles have only one double-digit scorer on the roster as Allen puts up 12.2 ppg, although he is shooting only 38.0 percent from the floor and 32.1 percent out on the perimeter. The team as a whole is producing a modest 74.2 ppg, and while it shoots 45.6 percent from the floor and only 32.0 percent on the outside, the squad does take advantage in the paint with a rebounding edge of almost six boards per contest. Keifer Sykes led five players in double figures as he delivered 23 points, helping the Green bay Phoenix to come up with the four-point win over the South Dakota Coyotes in non-conference action at the DakotaDome. Sykes, who shot 9-of-12 at the free-throw line, added six rebounds and five assists for the Phoenix. Alec Brown filled in his stat line with 17 points, eight rebounds, five blocked shots and four assists, followed by Greg Mays with 15 points. Carrington Love and Jordan Fouse both tallied 11 points, the latter clearing a game-high 14 boards. Aside from his 26.5 percent accuracy behind the 3-point line these days, there's little that Sykes hasn't done well for the Phoenix. Not only does he pace the team in scoring with 21.6 ppg, converting 83.8 percent at the free- throw line, he is also first in assists (44) and pitches in on the glass with more than two rebounds per game as well. Brown (12.8 ppg) and Fouse (5.0 ppg) have combined for 15.5 rpg and 48 of the team's 71 blocked shots. Averaging almost eight rejections per contest, the Phoenix have one of the tougher interior defenses in college basketball at the moment, but they still need to pick up wins against opponents such as Tennessee Tech in order to convince the competition moving forward. Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Green Bay 73, Tennessee Tech 66 12/17 10:33:10 ET |

Lightweight stretch balaclava. Made with Polartec Power Stretch fabric it is quick drying, breathable, low bulk and stretchy for a perfect fit.
Ideal for all cold weather applications.
FREE UK DELIVERY on orders over £30
Product Features
Poor stitching & hole too wide. | |
Reviewed By Andreas, 10 Feb 2014 | |
Sending this balaclava back, as the hole is too wide and/or large, leaving thus a very big area of the face unprotected; —especially for a stretch-material balaclava. (My head circumference is 59-60cm roughly when measured for helmets.) What causes me to give this product only 1 star, is the fact that the stitching of the face seams is very badly thought out. Not only is there no snug tight fit possible due to small off-standing bumps on the left and right on eye-level height in the hole itself, as can even be seen in the image, ..which I thought was perhaps due to the shape of the dummy on which this product was placed, ..but in addition the seams around the hole for the face are stitched together in the most clumsy manner, right under the right eye the joining of the material causes it to create a slight bump where more "cool air conditioning", in addition to the bad fit permitting the same as mentioned above left and right of the eyes, is possible. The bump in the joint as described can be seen top of the left eye-brow in the image of this product (below the left seam and left of the Rab logo)! Not certain what Rab had in mind when they developed this balaclava ... On the positive side, the material is very warm (Polartech) and the rest of the seams are well made, but that is not good enough in my experience in the hills, when serious wind hits the face in icy temps. |

Yakupov makes successful return to Sarnia lineup
Sunday, 01.29.2012 / 6:12 PM | Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com Staff Writer
Nail Yakupov
appeared comfortable and confident in his return to the ice for the Ontario Hockey League's Sarnia Sting in three games this weekend.
The Russian right wing, ranked No. 1 according to NHL Central Scouting's midterm list of North American skaters, finished with one goal, two points and a minus-2 rating in his first bit of game action with the Sting since Dec. 17.
Yakupov, who missed the previous nine games for the Sting, suffered a knee injury in the gold medal game at the 2012 World Junior Championship in Calgary, Alta. He scored his 22nd goal of the season en route to being named the game's second star in a 5-2 loss to the Ottawa 67's in Ottawa on Friday.
According to Dave Paul of the The Sarnia Observer, Yakupov looked like his old self for much of the game.
He was held without a point and a minus-2 rating in a 5-4 shootout loss to the Belleville Bulls on Saturday, snapping his eight-game consecutive goal streak. Yakupov, who missed two breakaway attempts in the game, was also stopped on his attempt in the shootout by Belleville rookie goalie Charlie Graham.
He would notch an assist on the decisive goal 10:36 into the second in a 2-1 victory over the Kingston Frontenacs on Sunday. Yakupov, who will not participate in the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Wednesday, currently ranks 13th in the OHL with 56 points in 30 games.

after digging the nest a caretta caretta turtle lays its eggs on the beach.
Category: Spontaneous Moments
Photo and caption by Andrea Felisari
It's deep night when the warning arrives from the beach. A caretta caretta turtle starts to dig her nest. Accompanied by the researchers we arrive at the point where the turtle has just dug her nest and is beginning to lay her eggs. It all happens in the dark to avoid disturbing the turtle. Only a torch lights up the eggs. We are all in silence while, as it happens over millions of years, the miracle of life begins once again.
