Race Report: 2013 Ashland Mountain Challenge 9
Casey Coffman shares his Ashland Mountain Challenge experience
Ashland Oregon is a pretty unique town. The town's Shakespeare Festival actually lasts nearly all year and brings hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. There are a lot of drifter types that seem to collect in Lithia Park, near the bottom of some of the most fun singletrack you could ever hope to find. People wearing capes and combat boots, people with dreadlocks down to their knees, and people without consistent access to showers are all common sights as you come off the mountain and venture through town. This all adds a special flavor to the Ashland Mountain Challenge, the third stop of the Oregon Enduro Series.
The trails in Ashland are certainly not known for their rocks, their steeps, or their technical challenges. But that doesn't mean they don't make for some great racing. Wide open, all-out speed sections combined with loose, sandy corners provide plenty of challenge to all who race. These trails are easy to ride, but difficult to ride fast.
Equipment decisions may leave riders second-guessing at Ashland. Tire choices were all over the place, from skinny, fast-rolling types, to tires that would offer more grip in the loose corners. 26, 27.5 and 29ers were all present beneath a race field that neared 300 competitors.
Stage 1 (Horn Gap) starts out as a tight, twisty trail winding its way through the trees. It has a 20-second, punchy climb, and a few really tight sections through Douglas Fir and Madrone trees. The lower half opens up a little and offers places to really put some power down, allowing for speeds up into the 30mph range. Tight sight lines make it hard to commit to opening it up, which gave an advantage for people that had more experience on this trail. I had a good run on stage 1, and was happy to land in the top 5.
Stage 2 (Hitt Road) is pretty much all-out the entire way. A 20-foot huck off a water bar, over a big ditch starts racers on their way down a wide open trail. There are a few very loose, sketchy corners that require a good memory to know where to begin braking in order to make it around the turns cleanly. An over-cooked corner put me on the ground, and cost me a lot of time on stage 2.
With a lunch break between stages 1-2 and stages 3-4, racers were able to chill out and chat with friends about their runs on the first half of the day before heading up to Mt Ashland for the second half of racing. Most riders agreed that stages 3 and 4 would be the deciding factor for the race, as 3 and 4 were much longer, with some crucial pedaling sections.
Stage 3 starts with some meandering singletrack through the woods and enters a wide-open fire road before dropping into the crowd favorite, Catwalk trail. Catwalk is 4 minutes of pumptrack-like trail…but at 25 mph. There are some switchbacks that require careful navigation, and a mean sprint to regain speed on the exit. Stage 3 went well for me as I tried to stay clean after the mistake on stage 2.
Stage 4 was the most painful one of the day. It had two long pedaling sections linking Caterpillar and BTI trails before dropping racers to the finish at the expo. BTI was very dry and loose, and claimed more than a few racers, who tested their luck on the sandy soil. Stage 4 was mentally and physically exhausting, as it was hard to lay the power down after 3 hard stages.
Finish times were extremely tight, as is becoming common in the Oregon Enduro Series with so much talent in the Pro class. My one crash on stage 2 put me out of the top 10 and into 17th place. It's frustrating, but a learning experience for sure.
Times were posted within an hour of the last finisher, and Ninkasi beer was flowing freely. The small reservoir next to the finish offered a great place to cool off after a hard day on the trails. While these trails may not be the roughest or steepest, they still offered great racing for everyone. Congrats to Nathan Riddle and Rosara Joseph on their hard-fought wins!

Looks like the trailbuilders left a couple of rocks in the middle of that third trail. Somebody should look into that.

Hidden costs in buying / owning a boat
As I get closer to purchasing my first boat, I'm trying to figure out what additional hidden costs I may incur. (I know that general maintenance costs come with a boat, but for now, I'm more concerned with "hidden costs.")
For example, I'm sure I'll run into additional costs with:
Are there any others I'm missing?
With regard to insurance: the boats I'm looking at are running between $3500-$5000 with a trailer. What is insurance likely to be for a new boater on a relatively cheap boat? What sort of insurance do you guys recommend?
Are there any insurance agencies you'd recommend? Any I should stay away from?
I know that's a lot of questions, but any information you guys could provide would be appreciated!
Talk to a pro
It seems like the "hidden cots" you're most concerned with really boils down to insurance. I would call a few agents, tell them exactly what kind of boat you are considering and have them give you a quote. At the same time they can answer a lot of your questions regarding laibility coverage, etc. Best wishes for some smooth sailing.
I have a separate declared value on the trailer which seems to be common with boat us insurance
There only going to allow so much declared value on the boat
Your boating time will affect the rate
I have a LONG time with them with NO claims so they do not charge me anything for racing coverage
When you buy a fixer upper (me to)at some point the amount of time and money you put into the boat needs to be covered(increased the declared value) as you would not be able to replace the boat with one of equal condition
It also gets a bit funky as boats get old my 1995 power boat will not have the same coverage form running aground because they feel the outdrive has reached it usefull life at 15 years
Also, with regard to insurance, are there insurance companies that specifically handle marine insurance? Are there overlap companies, (i.e Progressive, or others)? Is there a particular company anyone recommends?
A regional insurance company may be cheaper than a national company that has exposure on the gulf and atlantic coasts. Make sure you read the fine print for what is covered and be sure to add additional personal equipment that is in the boat. You might ask for references. Also, you did not indicate whether you will do home storage or in a yard near/on the lake. Is your vehicle adequate to tow the boat? A Honda Civic could have a tough time with a Catalina 25.
I spent a bundle on running rigging this year (ropes)and will replace the standing rigging and lifelines this winter as there 27 years old :eek:
The boat was dryed sailed and everything checks out fine BUT it is small change compared to a failure
Regarding insurance see if you can bundle it with you home insurance, for our lake boat we only pay about $40 per year for a boat and motor that are worth $7000 when it is attached to the home owner's policy.
The true "Hidden Cost" will become apparent as soon as you start a project. You never know what can of worms you might uncover until you dig into it.

Dennis Seidenberg a game-time decision for Game 5
|05.25.13 at 4:32 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien said Saturday afternoon that Dennis Seidenberg will dress for warmups prior to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Rangers. The team will decide after the warmup whether Seidenberg will then play in the game.
Seidenberg has not played since Game 7 of the first round against the Maple Leafs, as he suffered a lower-body injury on his first shift and skated only one more shift in the contest.
If Seidenberg is to play, Dougie Hamilton would be the most likely player to come out of the lineup.

The Airplane Boys - Her Fault
Artist: The Airplane Boys
Producer: Spinz
Album: Brave New World
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 4 votes )
Oftentimes, when a relationship goes bad, neither party is really to blame. This evidently ain't one of those occasions. On a new single, their first DJBooth feature since last February's Dictate, The Airplane Boys ruefully reflect on a recent breakup, quickly coming to the conclusion that it was All Her Fault. Spinz handles production duties, layering distorted guitar over cavernous, syncopated percussion as Beck Motley and Bon Voyage address emotionally raw, sometimes vindictive bars to the woman (or women) who broke their hearts. For this cathartic jam and much more, check out the duo's next street album, Brave New World, when it drops digitally in February.

do you always wear life jacket/PFD

Rep Power:
I use inflatable PFD's with harnesses. Here are my rules:
1. If you are more comfortable in any situation, where it and tie off. Being more safe is always a good option.
2. When I singlehand, I always where the PFD/harness and tie off when leaving the cockpit.
3. In protected waters (Galveston Bay) it is optional unless I say so (heavy weather or traffic).
4. In unprotected waters (Gulf of Mexico), always tie off if out of cockpit and always in PFD/harness when in the cockpit between sundown and sunset.
5. All of these rules are subject to change slightly based on the conditions, the experience of the crew, and good judgement.
This seems to work well for me, I always feel comfortable and the inflatable PFDs on the market today are fairly comfortable, so not really much of a hassle.

hmm, marvelous work on the bird. *jaw drops*
On the other sketches, it all looks abit too soft. try doing brushstrokes with strong colors to contrast the shading. That way you can get the shape out clearer and everything will look crispier. Cramp up that opacity
Your work seems to fluctuate in quality, try to spend more time on the paintings so that the quality becomes more equal. I have the issue of wanting to wrap things up and not actually spending enough time.
i need to draw landscapes,too. You just reminded me. urgh /:

Wow, that falcon (I think? I don't know my birds, sorry ;-;) is gorgeous!
Welcome to the sketchbooks! :)
There's not a lot to be giving suggestions or critiques from quite yet, of course, but I'd say my initial reaction when looking at your stuff is a bit of concern for your color palettes (don't use black and white to shade--light is colored!) and compositions (experiment a little more with ideas before going into a final?). Still, you have some interesting concepts, and again, the bird is pretty epic. Keep posting!

Heh, yeah I really have to spend more time on them, ... sometimes I rush and just want to fnish, another big habbit I have. Going to try the contrast stroke you mentioned. Crispier sounds good to me.
Well thanks a bunch for your feedback LoudLikeNature, I surely need that kick in my ass.

about the sketch. The guy's hair highlight compete with the skin lighting. the lighting on the skin is also extremely soft, and kind of leathery. i can see that it needs to be textured so it feels like skin. Otherwise it's overall great, its just kind of that part that knocks down the quality a few pegs. Its really realistically and beautiful, its just those things that make it a bit jarring.

What Size Ceiling Fan Do I Need?
Small ceiling fans for small rooms and large ceiling fans for large rooms, or so they say. While this may sound an ancient proverb, choosing the right size ceiling fan ensures maximum performance, style, and above all – comfort. Here's how you can select the correct ceiling fan size for any room in your home.
How to Install Your Fanimation fanSync
Fanimation's fanSync is the future of ceiling fan control.

At Del Mar Fans & Lighting, we are always seeking new ways to engage with and give back to our local community.

How to Size a Chandelier: 3 Easy Steps
A chandelier adds ambiance, style and of course, general lighting to a room, but selecting the right chandelier can be tricky. A small chandelier can easily get lost in a large space and fail to deliver a strong design element, while a large chandelier can overwhelm a small space. The right chandelier is proportional to the height and width of the room.
The Perfect Recipe for Kitchen Lighting
Recessed or Can lights are a popular lighting option for kitchens. Their ability to install within a ceiling allows for a smooth, seamless look that is appealing to many homeowners. Their inconspicuous design makes them easy to decorate around without being distracting or detracting from other design elements.

Free blogging platform Ghost opens to the public
October 15, 2013
We first covered open source blogging platform Ghost following the launch of its very successful Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign in May. The free software is billed as the first blogging platform to put writers before developers, and is managed by non-profit organization the Ghost Foundation, a move designed to make the software impossible for large corporations to buy out. On Monday, Ghost announced that after five months in development, the software has been opened up to the public to download.
Though Ghost plans to launch a hosted blog service, the software is initially available as a download to those wishing to host a blog on their own server space. Among the touted benefits of the software are clean blog designs, a simple back end for managing content, and support for Markdown for generating HTML posts from simple, easy-to-type formatting.
The Ghost Foundation says that, once the hosted version launches, all profits will be be put back into software development, with the hopes of growing "a sustainable open source business model." The project's three full-time staff were assisted by 17 contributors to the project from around the globe.
The software and installation instructions are available on GitHub.

I guess they get the 'spirit' of free software.
I will be checking it out.BigGoofyGuy
Meh..... YABP (Yet Another Blogging Platform). I'll pass.
The amount of work required to switch all my stuff over is probably not worth it at this point.Ken Dawson
Funny how they consider Markdown to be superior while Wikipedia is moving toward WYSIWYG. I'd rather deal with "buttons everywhere" rather than trying to remember all the necessary syntax.Gadgeteer
If you just want to try Ghost without the hassle of setting up a server and installing the dependecies, we at http://platan.us created a host service for Ghost blogs: http://ghostr.org
You'll be blogging using Ghost in just a few minutes, and it's free to try.aarellano

E-400 Water Dispersible 60 Softgels from Dee Cee Laboratories' Inc.® may provide water dispersible vitamin E to support the cardiovascular system. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found mainly in vegetable oils' cereal' meats' poultry' eggs' fruits' and vegetables. Vitamin E may be useful for preventing the rare but possible occurrence of vitamin deficiency and more importantly for providing the body with antioxidant support.
Antioxidants are substances that have the ability to fight the activity of unstable molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are formed during the oxidation process in the cells. These molecules have a tendency to attach on to healthy cells to cause disease-causing reactions. Even though vitamin E is available in various foods' a supplement like this one from Dee Cee Laboratories' Inc.® might provide an alternate source.
Alpha and Gamma tocopherols are forms of vitamin E that are commonly found in European and American diets. Alpha tocopherol is mainly found in dietary supplements and European foods' because of the use of olive and sunflower oil. Gamma tocopherol on the other hand is found mostly in the American diet' owing to the abundant use of soybean and corn oil.
Alpha tocopherol is the only form of vitamin E that can be stored in the body with the help of a protein present in the liver. This form of vitamin E gets stored in the membranes of the lung cells and might prevent the harmful effects caused by air pollutants. Gamma-tocopherol' owing to its unique chemical structure' attacks reactive nitrogen molecules that can damage proteins' lipids' and DNA.
E-400 Water Dispersible 60 Softgels from Dee Cee Laboratories' Inc.® might also help support the immune system and promote healthy muscles.

TROY — Hobart Arena may be most famous for hosting Elvis Presley in 1956, but frequently lost in the nostalgia surrounding Presley's visit is the fact that, over the years, Hobart Arena also has played host to numerous world champions and even an Olympic gold medalist.
There was a time when Hobart Arena was a hot bed for hosting professional wrestling events, particularly during the 1980s.
In the early part of that decade, professional wrestling was a staple at the arena and a frequent stop for the touring wrestlers of Georgia Championship Wrestling, which was just beginning to gain national attention through media mogul Ted Turner's nascent Superstation WTBS channel.
Such GCW superstars as "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer, "Wildfire" Tommy Rich and "The Minnesota Wrecking Crew" tag team of Ole and Gene Anderson — long a local fixture in the South — began receiving national television exposure on Saturday mornings on the station owned by Turner, a long-time wrestling fan. That exposure allowed GCW to begin expanding its fanbase and begin running more "house shows" — events that appeared in local arenas and were not televised — north of the Mason-Dixon line.
As the tours expanded into Ohio, Hobart Arena became a regular stop for Georgia Championship Wrestling — often sandwiched between shows in larger cities such as Cleveland and Cincinnati — and GCW superstars would appear several times per year at Hobart.
On April 4, 1985, local fans were treated to a rare appearance by then National Wrestling Alliance — the umbrella organization to which GCW belonged — heavyweight champion "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. That night, Flair — widely regarded by wrestling historians as one of the greatest performers in the history of the sport — battled challenger Ronnie "Hands of Stone" Garvin to a double countout.
Flair would return to Hobart Arena nearly 13 years later — this time to take on Curt Hennig — in one of the most highly attended professional wrestling shows ever to appear at Hobart. On March 20, 1998, World Championship Wrestling appeared in front a nearly sold-out crowd at Hobart. In addition to Flair, the show featured such superstars as Bill Goldberg, Chris Jericho, Booker T and "Diamond" Dallas Page.
That show came during the height of WCW's popularity, when its nationally televised Monday Nitro show was frequently drawing in excess of 4 million viewers on a weekly basis.
Following that 1998 show, it would be almost a decade before professional wrestling would return to Hobart Arena — and this time, it would feature not only a world champion, but an Olympic gold medalist.
On Jan. 25, 2008, Total Nonstop Action wrestling made its debut at Hobart Arena. In the main event, TNA heavyweight champion Kurt Angle — who captured an Olympic gold medal in amateur wrestling at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta — would defend his title against challenger Samoa Joe.
Total Nonstop Action wrestling would return to Hobart in December of that year and again on June 25, 2011.

January 9, 1905–March 22, 1995
JAMES GORDON HORSFALL, who called himself a squirt gun botanist, fought the ''rusts and rots that rob us, the blasts and the blights that beset us."1 His writing inspired plant pathologists. He raised the quota of fundamental research in agriculture and the quota of agriculture in fundamental research.
Horsfall was born January 9, 1905, in Mountain Grove, Missouri, where his father Frank, poor as a church mouse, worked at a tiny independent fruit experiment station. He grew up in Monticello, Arkansas, where his father presided over an agricultural school. His mother was Margaret Vaulx Horsfall. The strength of the father's example was demonstrated by three sons who became a plant pathologist, an entomologist, and an horticulturist. Horsfall, claiming the essential ingredient of a scientist was nonconformity, traced his own nonconformity to a grandfather sent to shoot birds along the Mississippi river by a well-to-do English great-grandfather. Horsfall entitled his autobiography "The Story of a Nonconformist."2 Although he would spend most of his life in the northeast, Horsfall never forgot his agricultural roots; he featured his country connections, and when

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On 1 September 2014, criminal liability of legal entities will be introduced in Ukraine. The President of Ukraine signed a relevant law, under which amendments to the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine come into effect.
Criminal liability arises if an authorized person (such as, director or other persons entitled to act on behalf of a legal entity) commits any of the following offences on behalf and for the benefit of a legal entity:
If a legal entity is found guilty of commitment of any of the above crimes, it shall be punished with a penalty from UAH 85,000 to UAH 1,275,000 (ie approximately from USD 10,000.00 to USD 160,000.00).
If an authorized person is found guilty of committing a terrorist act, engaging or facilitating a terrorist act, making public calls to a terrorist act, creating of a terrorist group or organizing or funding of terrorism on behalf of a legal entity, the latter shall be liquidated under the court decision and its property shall be confiscated.
The law envisages that governmental authorities, local self-government bodies, as well as organizations created by them, social insurance funds and international organizations cannot be brought to criminal liability.
It should be noted that, in contrast to Ukraine, Russia and most of the post-Soviet states, legislation of the majority of foreign countries provides for criminal liability of legal entities. In particular, it exists in the US, England and such European countries as Austria, Belgium, Holland, France, Portugal, etc. Criminal liability of businesses was relatively recently introduced in the Baltic countries, Georgia and Moldova.

- Tipova Monastery
Tipova Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in the Republic of Moldova. The monastery is spaded in stone on the bunch of Nistru River. The monastic complex portrays an image of an impressive museum. The demolishment between Blanaritei and Valea-Satului streams represents an old town of Gets tribes inhabitants existing BC. Tipova River flows down the Nistru River and forms various waterfalls. The monastery comprises three monastic complexes. According to an old legend, the Greek mythological poet Orpheus died at Tipova Monastery. He was buried on the cascade valley and it is not difficult to recognize his grave, as there are six apertures slabs on it.
In 1990, a group of archeologists from Saint – Petersburg found a skeleton in the monastery basement, dating from the end of the XV century. According to historians, Stefan cel Mare si Sfint frequently was visiting these lands during his battles against Tatars. An old legend tells that the great lord (Stefan cel Mare) married to one of his wives in the Tipova monastery, who after her death, was buried at this holy place.
- "Orheiul Vechi" Medieval Town
Old Orhei is a museum complex that presents the remains of different civilizations established between Nistru and Prut rivers. It is situated 60 km away from Chisinau in a narrow, rocky, 150-200 m deep bend in the Raut River valley. The remnants of the first human settlement can be found in the cliff caves. Up on the top of the cliff there was a strong fortification (V - III c. BC) built by the Geto-Dacian peoples, who had their own unique calendar at that time. Among the fortification ruins we can find the site of this ancient calendar, which also had the role of an altar for religious purposes common among those ancient communities. On the opposite side of the river we can distinguish the ruins of the "New town" of the Golden Horde called Sheihr-al Gedid (XIII-XIVc.), which, according to researchers is considered to be one of the Tatars' capitals during their expansion into Europe.
After Moldavian solders regained these territories, a new fortified stone fortress (XVc.), named Orhei, was built. The foundations remain intact. Also, an Orthodox cave monastery called "St. Maria Dormata" was expanded and modified inside the cliffs by the monks over the centuries and has been preserved in a functional state. Now tourists visit the monastery year round and especially during the religious holidays. In the middle of the XVIIth c., for geo-strategic reasons, Orhei town was moved 18 km north to the Raut gorge at Vasile Lupu on the orders of the Ruler of Moldova. This helped to preserve the vestiges of the old civilization in a real open air museum complex. Here tourists can also visit "The Peasant Yard" museum (XIXc.), "Trebujeni" landscape nature reserve, and other sights. The Old Orhei museum complex is open daily from 09.00 to 18.00, except Mondays.
Note: Lunch at one of the boarding houses in Old Orhei region (Trebujeni village).

No specific chromosome abnormalities are described for these AMLs. Complex karyotypes with multiple structural abnormalities are common. Chromosomes 5 and 7 appear to be affected frequently.[57,67,68] One study indicates that abnormalities of chromosomes 5 and/or 7 correlate with significantly shorter survival times.[69]
Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (FAB Classification M7)
Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, in which 50% or more of blasts are of the megakaryocyte lineage, occurs in all age groups and comprises approximately 3% to 5% of cases of AML.[57] Clinical features include cytopenias; dysplastic changes in neutrophils and platelets; rare organomegaly, except in children with t(1; 22); lytic bone lesions in children; and association with mediastinal germ cell tumors in young adult males.[57,70,71]
Morphologic and cytochemical features include the following:[57,70,72]
- Medium- to large-sized megakaryoblasts with round or indented nucleus and one or more nucleoli.
- Agranular, basophilic cytoplasm with pseudopod formation.
- Lymphoblast-like morphology (high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio) in some cases.
- Circulating micromegakaryocytes, megakaryoblastic fragments, dysplastic large platelets, and hypogranular neutrophils.
- Stromal pattern of marrow infiltration mimicking a metastatic tumor in infants.
- Negative stains for SBB and MPO.
- Blasts reactive with PAS, acid phosphatase, and nonspecific esterase.
Immunophenotyping reveals megakaryoblast expression of one or more platelet glycoproteins: CD41 (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and/or CD61 (glycoprotein IIIa). Myeloid markers CD13 and CD33 may be positive; CD36 is typically positive. Blasts are negative with the anti-MPO antibody and other markers of myeloid differentiation. In bone marrow biopsies, megakaryocytes and megakaryoblasts may react positively to antibodies for Factor VIII.[57] The differential diagnosis includes minimally differentiated AML, acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis, ALL, pure erythroid leukemia, and blastic transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia or idiopathic myelofibrosis and metastatic tumors in the bone marrow (particularly in children). (Refer to the PDQ summary on Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders Treatment for more information on chronic myeloid leukemia or idiopathic myelofibrosis).
No unique chromosomal abnormalities are associated with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia in adults.[57,73] In children, particularly infants, a distinct clinical presentation may be associated with t(1:22)(p13; q13).[70,72] The prognosis for this type of acute leukemia is poor.[74,75]

I took my camera with me on my trip to Victoria and Vancouver, B.C. this week. During a quiet moment, I found some great pictures on my memory card that I had forgotten were there. One of those that inspired me anew this week is included here. I took it at IWF 2012 in Atlanta in August.
On one of my strolls through the aisles at IWF, I came across something that previously I had only heard about; a gloss meter.
I know. Seeing a gloss meter may not be something on your bucket list. But as a wood coatings guy, I spend a lot of time explaining and dealing with gloss. Gloss is a big deal in my circle. You also know that I love tools. Remember, I'm "Tool Time Bernie." I was so excited that I took pictures of this device. I was surprised to find that it was about the size of a 6" sub sandwich.
There was a company exhibiting in Atlanta that was demonstrating their ability to adjust gloss in flat line applied coatings. Their machinery was set up in their booth. They were running samples through the machine. To validate their results, they had a digital gloss meter to quantify what they had accomplished.
click image to zoom Here's what I knew going in the door that day. I knew that gloss was measured with a gloss meter. I knew that the process involved shining a light on the coating at a specific angle and then measuring the intensity of the reflection from that light. Obviously, the more light that is reflected, the more glossy the coating. In clear coatings, where reflections can come from within the coating itself, the unit of measure for the reflection is given in terms of the percent of light that returns to the gloss meter.
Also referred to as sheen, there are no strict standards across the industry. However, there are some general ranges that can be referred to. A dull sheen is usually around 15% reflection. Satin is around 35%. Semi-gloss is approximately 65% and gloss is usually 80% and higher. Of course, within the opaque coatings it is not unusual to see different sheen names including eggshell, flat, and wet look. The latex paint on the walls of my house is considered a satin eggshell sheen.
Let's jump ahead to the next issue. That would be how we manipulate gloss or sheen in a coating. There are pastes and powders available to modify sheen levels. The pastes are the easiest to use because they are already pre-liquefied. If you've ever tried to evenly disperse a dry powder in a liquid, you can appreciate the tendencies for clumping which can be problematic. The significant ingredient in these flattening pastes is silicon dioxide otherwise known as silica.

Without contradiction, be careful with this type of device. Readings are not accurate on wood, because the light reflection shortly be different from the relief of the wood grain and leveling the surface. The% of chandelier is represented by the strong distortion or not the reflection of light. It is for this reason that this type of device is used to take ages on surfaces and black list. If you use it on finished wood will not give you accuracy. To prove it, take several readings on a wooden panel and you will see significant differences in luster. Persuaders excuse my English

CINCINNATI, June 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The fight against cancer continues to be an ongoing challenge for many patients, their families, healthcare providers and economies worldwide. Although significant progress has been made, many forms of the disease remain a public health issue.
According to PhRMA, American biopharma research companies are testing 981 medicines and vaccines to fight the many types of cancer affecting millions of patients. All of the medicines are either in clinical trials or awaiting review by the Food and Drug Administration (phrma.org).
In response to the recent increases in oncology research conducted in North America, Schulman Associates IRB now offers a weekly Board meeting dedicated to the review of oncology research. The new Board's membership consists of a variety of oncology experts, who were carefully recruited from prestigious, nationally recognized research centers, and specifically selected based on their qualifications. Concentrations include pediatric oncology, radiation oncology, oncology research administration and more. The Schulman Oncology Board will meet weekly beginning July 23 and will be one of the leading oncology Boards in North America.
Oncology Board members will also lend their expertise to Schulman's regular Board meetings, as needed. Additional submission materials are not required to take advantage of the Oncology Board's services. Review turnaround times for the Oncology Board will remain consistent with Schulman's standard, competitive timelines.
"This enhanced Board expertise and dedicated additional Board meeting underscore Schulman's commitment to growth and improvement," said Michael Woods, Schulman's president and CEO. "We are delighted to be able to offer an unsurpassed level of service and expertise to our clients who are working to develop new cancer therapies and diagnostics."

- Excerpt from Certificate of Need Program:
This project is being presented to the CON Review Board pursuant to an Order dated September 21, 2012, by the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals remanding this case to SHPDA for a "determination as to whether the Brookwood Medical Center and UAB Hospital letters alone satisfy the requirement of former Rule 410-2-4-.02(7)(c)3., Ala. Admin. Code (SHPDA), that [Lloyd] Noland had 'written patient transfer agreements with hospitals other than the host hospital to provide at least 75 percent of the admissions to the long-term hospital, based on the total average daily census for all participating hospitals.'" On January 4, 2013, the Montgomery County Circuit Court issued an Order requiring the parties to "pursue" a hearing before SHPDA, and within 30 days, and for SHPDA to thereafter issue a written determination as required under the Court of Civil Appeals decision.
The Board voted and affirmed that the Brookwood Medical Center and UAB Hospital letters alone satisfy the requirement of former Ala. Admin. Code § 410-2-4-.02(7)(c)3.

If a broadband connection included access to a vast catalog of music, the number of subscribers would shoot up, driving down the cost of broadband while increasing the size of the pot. Many newspapers and magazines grant extensive free access to their content online while managing to impose certain limits, and TV and radio come both free and pay. Why can't similar plans be devised for content encoded as sound? Nielsen-like methods for tracking music downloads already in development could determine how revenues are divided. And none of this means that the record companies will stop selling CDs, or that the public will want them to.
Even the music industry's new allies in Big Software are suggesting it has to loosen up. In November, four senior engineers released a paper called "The Darknet and the Future of Content Distribution" (available at crypto.stanford.edu/DRM2002/darknet5.doc). It's less a technical report than a cogently articulated logical exercise. The authors argue that the "darknet"their term for all practices related to the underground sharing of digital contentis ultimately unstoppable. Therefore, embedding digital objects with tight security controls decreases their value and drives people back to the darknet, making copy protection not just "inherently ineffective," but also a "disincentive to legal commerce." Their conclusion: "A vendor will probably make more money selling unprotected objects than protected objects."
Like Alan Kilkenny two decades ago, the authors aren't wild-eyed cyber-visionaries. They all work for Microsoft. Alarming realism, indeed.

Dry Tortugas
If you are going to head out to Key West, and you do not mind making a overnight passage, punch west about another 70 miles and hit the Tortugas. It is beautiful, the fort is an awesome example of early american history, and there are some beautiful reefs - including one that you can dinghy to that still has the hull of a hundred year old ship (with wooden mast still sticking barely up out of the water) that you can explore.
Truth is, you will find it hard to leave there once you arrive. I would NOT go in there at night. Very shallow outside channel (thus all the shipwrecks). THere is no water or food either, so you have to bring your own supplies. But you can get lost in the history and it has been one of the more memorable places we have been.
IM me if you have any questions about it... but in my humble opinion it is much more beautiful than anything you will find in the Keys... and more secluded. Here is a quick link:

Spiritual Overconfidence: Thinking of Oneself (and One's Abilities), Rather than God
Every devotee goes through ups and downs on the path. During his ups there are times when he feels as if God were practically a hair's breadth away. He only has a bit further to go, and he'll be there. Everyone goes through such periods where he feels so in tune that he's really, as it were, just racing towards heaven. Then all of a sudden that quality is lost, and the clouds roll in again, and he wonders what ever happened.
We can understand it this way: as soon as we get a divine state of consciousness, the strength of delusion is such that we take the blessing to ourselves, and think that we're special or important. We get a little experience of God, and instead of expressing appreciation, we start to think, "Oh, I've got something now. I'm someone special now." The ego comes in again, and because of this we come crashing down and have to begin all over again.
The way out is for all our energies to always be directed towards God. The true disciple is always thinking only of how he can serve God and guru more, of what more he can give. If the devotee starts to think of how he can get more experience or more realization, then he falls back into delusion. It has to be a constant giving, and in that giving, God can give us more. It's like a closed circuit that builds up greater and greater power.

When His Health Deserted Him, Diet and Fitness Guru Nathan Pritikin Turned to Suicide
Pritikin's suicide rocked friends and the thousands of believers in his stringent program of diet and exercise whom he had helped to healthier lives. "In the eight years I knew him," said Kevin Wiser, a vice president of the Pritikin Longevity Center in Santa Monica, "I can't remember his ever being sick." Only Ilene was aware he was being treated for leukemia. Swelling in his legs had made his daily four-to five-mile run impossible. Pritikin acquiesced to chemotherapy only after being assured he would run again. "He felt running made all the difference in the quality of his life," says Wiser. "He was willing to try anything that might help him be able to do it again."
He took the same attitude when he had an acute angina attack in 1957. Pritikin, who had previously researched the relationship between nutrition and heart disorders, went on a low-fat diet and aerobic exercise regimen. That cleared up his cardiac condition and convinced him that "the degenerative diseases are not diseases...they are environmental poisoning from the food we eat. Specifically, I refer to the toxic amounts of fat and cholesterol." Pritikin advocated a menu limited mainly to fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Since 1976, when he opened his first center in Santa Barbara, 18,000 people have huffed and puffed through his puritanical program, while millions of others have absorbed his advice through such bestsellers as 1979's The Pritikin Program for Diet and Exercise and 1983's The Pritikin Promise, which has been made into a video.
The medical establishment was slow to credit Pritikin, who had no medical training or degree, and some doctors criticized his diet as being unnecessarily severe. But, says Dr. William Castelli, the director of the Framingham Study, which recently linked heart disease to high-cholesterol diets, "He was essentially barking up the right tree." Many in medicine criticized Pritikin's claim that his program could actually reverse heart ailments. Yet shortly before his death, Pritikin had developed a new machine that, in conjunction with his diet, would help clean the bloodstream of serum cholesterol. Doctors at Northwestern University will soon begin a yearlong series of tests with the device. "If he had completed his test with the machine, proving that heart disease is reversible with his diet, I think he probably would have been on his way to Stockholm," says Dr. Monroe Rosenthal, a Pritikin endocrinologist. "It's unheard of for a layman to receive a Nobel Prize in medicine, but I think he could have done it."
The son of a Chicago sign salesman, Pritikin was already a millionaire before he tackled nutrition. Forced during the Depression to drop out of the University of Chicago, he became a free-lance inventor, developing a host of patents in physics, chemistry and electrical engineering for such giants as Bendix and Honeywell. "Nathan was a great researcher, a genius who was able to see clearly through mazes of information and come to conclusions that others overlooked," says Rosenthal. Indeed, after the autopsy, Dr. Steven Inkeles of the Pritikin Center said the medical examiner was astounded at the superb condition of Pritikin's heart. "He had the arteries," says Inkeles, "of a preadolescent boy." Even in death, Pritikin showed there is a better way to live.

"Can you see me? Can you see what I'm doing here?" the surgeon asks from inside the theatre. For the record, that's not quite the way conversation goes in an operation theatre. The surgeon's usually concerned about what he can see.
As far as medical procedures go, this was quite ordinary. But there was a guest in the theatre on Tuesday, perched pretty on the bridge of the surgeon's nose. J.S. Rajkumar, surgical gastroenterologist, and chairman, Lifeline Hospitals, had brought in a piece of the future, for the very first time, reportedly, into an Indian operation theatre. He was wearing the Google Glass.
As the surgeon went in through three port holes to correct gastro oesophageal reflux disease, the Google Glass saw exactly what he did and transmitted a video live, onto a remote location.
Literature shows that twice before, the Google Glass has been within operating theatres. The first surgery with the Glass happened in June in Spain, and the second, in August in Ohio. When the Google Glass was switched on inside Lifeline Hospital's operation theatre, it was a first in the country, and only the third time in the world that it had sat with surgeons.
Google Glass is a wearable mini computer that sits as its moniker indicates, like a pair of spectacles, except there is only one neat quadrangle prism just above your level of vision over the right eye. A touch screen, the processor and battery are compacted, nearly unbelievably, in the right arm of the part of the glass that rests on the ear. So switch on the device by tapping the touch screen, say "OK, Glass" and then tell it what you want to do: Take a photo; take a video; ask for directions; or just search on Google. Entirely hands free, this genie bows to your voice. It is so seamless, it seems nearly like magic.
Built quintessentially as a tool for social media, the Google Glass allows for instant sharing of the photo/ video you've just taken. "It runs on an android processor and you can hook it up to any android device- a mobile phone or a tab. The video can be streamed on any chat site that allows multimedia content, say like Google Hangout," explains Shiva Thirumazhusai, CEO, Nasotech, the U.S.-based start up that is creating customised apps for the Glass.
So, how did Dr. Rajkumar get hold of the limited edition Google Glass, being rationed out by Google at about $1700. Mr. Shiva says he runs a Google Developers Group in the U.S., and had registered for the Glass a year ago. He was among the first to get it in hand, when Google started shipping them out in May. An old friendship with the surgeon, and Dr. Rajkumar's own interest in using the device in the theatre, led to the debut for Google Glass in Chennai.
"Whichever way you look at it, it is an amazing device for surgeons. If you are there in the theatre and you have a hitch, you could search for a video about the procedure and clarify what's happening. Specialists across the world can merely wear this light-weight glass and advise a young surgeon in a remote town on how to go on," Dr. Rajkumar says. It can also enable relatives of the patient sitting across the world to catch up with the surgery live, and as for eager medical students, the implications are huge.
Nasotech has already added some customisations. For instance, while Google Glass will allow you to take only 10-second videos, the one that was used on Tuesday has virtually no limit on video time. Mr. Shiva says they are working on connecting the Glass with hospital information systems, so that at a command, the patient's history comes up on the visual layer.
Broadband speeds being perfidious in the best of circumstances in this country, the video from a second hernia surgery did not quite reach the viewing room. Dr. Rajkumar says, "That's the only thing: if cost and connectivity are in favour, the Google Glass can transform health care access in this country. Isn't it exciting?" You bet!
