|Property type
Located high above the Central Valley, yet a short drive to all shopping and business districts, Villa Le Mas offers the best of both worlds. Villa Le Mas is a retreat for your disconnection and relaxation. Villa Le Mas is situated on 2+ acres of verdant gardens and the peace and quiet of the mountain. Each suite has a living/dining area, kitchenette and a balcony, terrace or patio. We offer the ultimate in tranquil and peaceful mountainside living within minutes of the shopping, entertainment and dining centers of San Jose.
The owners of Villa Le Mas are a couple, one from the United States and one from Costa Rica. We speak English, Spanish and Portuguese and we are happy to assist you in your stay in Costa Rica.
Ray purchased this villa in 2012
Villa Le Mas is located among the finest estates in Costa Rica and enjoys magnificent views of Cerro Pico Blanco and of the entire Central Valley. Adjacent to the estate is the nature reserve of Cerro Pico Blanco. Villa Le Mas is a magical place, yet close to business and shopping/entertainment/dining centers.
The villas of Villa Le Mas are set among landscaped, tropical vegetation and our property enjoys extraordinary views of Cerro Pico Blanco and the entire Central Valley.
To start our trip in Costa Rica, we wanted to be near San Jose without undergoing the noise and other inconveniences.
We found a gem! Hidden in the hills of Escazu, in a very upscale area, near the cloud forest, the studio 4 of Villa Le Mas, elegant and original, offers breathtaking views of the mountains, the fields, the surrounding villages, as well as on the Pico Blanco, which often hides in the clouds. The air is cooler than in the city, and purer too!
The apartment includes a large bedroom and a living room with a fully glazed wall overlooking a spectacular view. The adjoining bathroom is great with its large shower. Hot water is not lacking. A door leads to the garden (and its many paths) and the other opens onto the terrace. Chairs and umbrella invite you to relax. The kitchenette is minimalist: two plates, two cups, two glasses, etc. There was, however, great coffee and sugar. A basic kit with salt, pepper, etc. would be a plus, since the nearest grocery store is 10 minutes away by car. But all food needs can be satisfied in the church area, about 15 minutes down the way. The many panaderias are hard to resist!
In the resort surrounded by an electrified fence, there are other studios, each with its own style. In addition, a guard opens the entrance gate only to those who have permission to cross "the gate of heaven!"
We wanted a quiet, not expensive, safe, exotic place with high-speed wi-fi, fit for lovers of birdwatching, nature and hiking. Mission accomplished! In addition to walking along property trails and flower gardens, we walked around and discovered the steep roads leading to Pico Blanco. We were visited daily by the Squirrel cuckoo, the incredible Oropendola bird and about 20 other species.It's also the perfect start to travel in the greater San Jose, Poas volcano, Carthago, Orosi Valley and the Tapanti National Park. A 4x4 vehicle and a GPS are essential.
Our host Ray is very is attentive to every need. And always with a smile.
We recommend this place to all lovers of peace, of nature, and those who need a « zen » break in their lives.
I recently spent a week at this delightful property located near San Antonio.The setting is absolutely amazing! The cool mountain breezes and the lush greenery complement the comforts of home. The apartments are equipped with hot showers, cable TV, 24 hour security, and consistent WiFi, I was able to get a lot of work accomplished. The modest price is meant to offset the inconvenience of the location. It's not easy to find, but neither is anything else in Costa Rica, and there are no grocery stores or other businesses within walking distance. In short, you'll need a car and I strongly recommend a GPS. The owners have three delightful rescue dogs that happily greet visitors upon arrival. Oreo, Negra, and Sasa will enrich your experience. My colleagues and I agree that this is a great place to stay. If you're tired of staying in hotels, and you're looking to go off of the beaten path, choose this property!
Villa Le Mas is within a 20 minutes drive to major shopping and commercial centers, yet our estate is high on the slopes of the majestic Cerro Pico Blanco in the exclusive neighborhood of San Antonio de Escazu. Our seven suites are perfect for business travelers and tourists who want to be centrally located in Costa Rica but who also desire peace and tranquility. Villa Le Mas is for those who desire privacy, magnificent views, access to nature, and spacious suites. Our grounds are at the edge of the Cerro Pico Blanco Regional Park. Please call or email us for further information.

Reverse Trade Missions: Grow your Business & the American Economy
Exporting matters! It matters to firms that profit from exporting and it also matters to the national economy as a whole. Federal, state and local governments devote billions of dollars each year to encourage exporting among firms of all sizes and in all sectors. here's how RTM, hosted by USTDA can help you grow your business and strengthen the American economy.
Reverse trade missions provide unique opportunities to foster business relationships and build long-lasting partnerships between U.S. businesses and our overseas partners. During the past year, USTDA hosted more than 50 reverse trade missions to introduce U.S. businesses to more foreign delegates and business opportunities than ever before.
A key part of USTDA's support of the National Export Initiative, these carefully planned missions enable foreign delegates to visit the U.S. to observe first-hand the design, manufacture, and demonstration of goods and services that can help the delegates achieve their development goals. The reverse trade missions are planned to target current and near-term business opportunities, creating immediate results and export successes for U.S. businesses.
This past year, USTDA introduced more than 600 foreign delegates to more than 1,000 U.S. company representatives across the United States. These foreign delegates included ministers, mayors, and senior governmental and private sector officials from emerging markets.
Startup America Policy Challenge
The White House announced $2 billion in public and private resources to help entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses. In the spirit of open and participatory government, we also announced the Startup America Policy Challenge. We're calling on entrepreneurs and the broader public to share their ideas on how to accelerate entrepreneurial innovation in the areas of healthcare, energy and education. Aneesh Chopra, US Chief Technology Officer, kicked off the challenge in a post on Quora and asked a few questions to get the dialogue going.
Read Aneesh's post below and participate in the challenge by sharing your ideas on Quora:
Startup America is President Obama's initiative to celebrate, promote, and inspire high-growth entrepreneurship throughout the nation. We're working to expand access to private sector capital, accelerate the time it takes to get technologies from lab-to-market, and promote mentorship and entrepreneurship education.
Marketing Strategies: Essentials for Startup Growth
With so many different companies out there today, having a solid marketing strategy is 100% essential. Without an effective small business marketing strategy, your company will not be capable of bringing in new business. Why? No one will know your business exists! If you have not yet created a marketing strategy, take the step to create a marketing plan today!
What will a marketing plan do for your business?
Build awareness of your business.This will help more people know about your company and the services it provides.
Choosing a Business Structure
How your company should be structured is one of the first decisions you will have to make as a business owner? This decision is important, because the type of business you create determines the types of applications you'll need to submit. You should also research liability implications for personal investments you make into your business, as well as the taxes you will need to pay.
It's important to understand each business type and select the one that is best suited for your situation and objectives. Keep in mind that you may need to contact several federal agencies, as well as your state business entity registration office. In making a choice, you will want to take into account the following:
Prepare for Tax Season
When you're running a business, you don't need to be a tax expert, too. But you do need some tax basics. IRS Small Business Advantage gives you the information you need to stay tax compliant so your business can thrive.
Choosing a Tax Professional
With your new responsibilities, you may decide to hire a professional tax preparer to assist with your taxes. Enrolled agents, tax attorneys, and certified public accountants have training and expertise in federal taxes. When selecting a tax professional, ask a few questions to see if he/she offers what you are looking for:
Experience: Does the tax professional have experience in working with similar size and type businesses? Is the professional familiar with your particular line of business?
Services: Does the tax professional offer electronic filing—the safest and most efficient way to file your tax returns?
Price: What does the tax professional charge for services? If the IRS examines your return, what is the tax professional's policy on assisting you? Is the tax professional authorized to practice before the IRS?
Qualifications: New regulations require all paid tax return preparers to register with the IRS and obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). Ensure that the tax professional you choose has a PTIN.

February's International Reading Association (IRA) Member of the Month is Brandie McNabb, second grade teacher and President-Elect of the Louisiana Reading Association, the host state of the IRA 59th Annual Conference to be held in New Orleans from May 9-12, 2014. Reading Today caught up with Brandie to ask her about her plans for the conference in her home state, her experiences as Teacher of the Year and a National Board Certified teacher, why she loves Dr. Seuss, and her thoughts on why to become and why not to become a teacher!
When did you know you wanted to become a teacher?
I always wanted to be a teacher. I can remember helping my aunt set up her classroom each summer. It seemed like the coolest job ever! I had many people trying to influence me to pursue other fields. I unfortunately listened to them when I first finished college, but I finally did come back to what I feel was my calling in life.
Which children's literature books influenced your decision to become a literacy educator?
Anything by Dr. Seuss! He felt that children's books were boring and wondered why anyone would want to read a boring book. Amen! Whether it makes you laugh or cry, there is nothing like a good book. The best feeling is to read a book to my class and see their anticipation of what the next page has to say.
How did you begin your career, and what led you to your current position?
Oh that's a great question! As I mentioned, I wanted to be a teacher even in high school. But also I had a friend whose mom was a teacher. She said, "Don't do that. You won't make any money." I listened and ventured off to nursing school. When it was time to begin my clinical work, I realized that wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I finished college with a General Studies degree. I worked in a pharmacy for several years before realizing I still felt that calling to be a teacher. I found out about an Alternate Certification Program in education. The rest is history. I'm currently getting my masters in Curriculum and Instruction.
I've been in my current position, second grade, for eleven years. My school district has only been in existence for eleven years. I was lucky to be with them from the beginning. Our school district doesn't have neighborhood schools but has grade level clusters, which I think is part of the key to our success. We've been the number one district in our state for the past eight years. My school has only first and second grades, which means every child in our district will attend our school.
What can literacy educators do to motivate kids to want to read?
Help them find the right book! Many times, teachers give the students the books to read. Letting students choose what they want to read is giving them a voice. In my reading groups, I provide them with books on their instructional level, but I always make sure that they get to pick books to bring home too.
How long have you been a member of the International Reading Association? How has membership influenced your career?
I've been a member of IRA for over ten years. At first, it was just to attend conferences, but I slowly became more and more involved. In 2008, I started the local reading council in my school district. I wanted to give reading teachers in our district an opportunity to come together and talk. It was a way to learn the latest and best methods without leaving our schools. Through ZARC, I've become active in the state's council, Louisiana Reading Association (LRA). I've developed some great friendships with some great leaders in reading. Janet Langlois was the first person I met when I first started researching the possibility of creating a council. She took time to meet with me and provided an enormous amount of help in the process. As the President-Elect for LRA, I hope to honor Janet's memory by making her and my other new found friends proud.
What are you looking forward to doing at the Annual Conference in New Orleans?
Oh, there's so much! Of course I have to mention the exhibit hall; what teacher doesn't love exploring the new books, meeting the authors, and collecting lots of free stuff? I enjoy looking through the program and studying which sessions I want to attend. It's exciting and frustrating at the same time because I can't be in three places at once! Discovering new ideas, learning about new technology, and making connections with other literacy teachers just amplify the event.
What do you consider to be your proudest career moment?
That's a hard question to answer and pick one. It was an honor to be picked Teacher of the Year several years ago by my colleagues. Achieving National Board Certification was a highlight too, but I honestly think what is most rewarding is getting those e-mails from former parents or seeing former students. It means the world when they take the time to let me know how they are doing and how they still love to read. Knowing that parents want their kids in my class lets me know I'm doing my job and is the biggest reward I could ever receive.
What do you like to do when you're not wearing your educator hat?
I love spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and trying to not think about school. I have two girls, ages eight and three. My husband and I love to travel, and we are always dreaming about that ultimate trip.
What's the best advice you could offer someone new to the profession?
Don't give up; remember why you became a teacher. Dig down deep, and remember why you became a teacher. If it's because you're off holidays and weekends, think again. Teachers bring work home constantly. If it's because you want to make a difference, GO FOR IT! Get involved and stay active either in educational organizations or volunteering for activities at your school. I love to teach reading, even on those bad days. But when you see a child smile because they read the book independently for the first time or made a B on a comprehension test, you'll remember why you are here.

Wilson's error sinks Ganassi team
Updated: January 31, 2010, 5:42 PM ETAssociated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The new Action Express Racing team showed up at Daytona International Speedway this week simply looking to take its new engine for a test run.
What a run it was.
Joao Barbosa powered the team to the 24 Hours of Daytona title Sunday, finishing an improbable victory in the organization's first appearance in the sports car endurance race.
"I think we would agree," teammate Ryan Dalziel said, "we didn't come into this thing thinking we had a realistic shot."

Ex-Twin Baker signs one-year deal with Cubs
NOV 13, 2012 11:29a ET
Baker became a free agent this offseason after Minnesota declined his $9.25 million club option for the 2013 season. Though the right-hander expressed interested at the end of the 2012 season in possibly staying with the Twins, the two sides decided to part ways.
The 31-year-old Baker missed all of last year after having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. He was the Twins' top pitcher in 2011, going 8-6 with a 3.14 ERA in 21 starts before suffering an injury late in the season. Baker experienced discomfort in his elbow this past spring training and did not throw a single pitch in the regular season for the Twins.
Baker's one-year deal with the Cubs is for a reported $5.5 million, according to the Chicago Tribune. Baker can also earn an additional $1.5 million in incentives in 2013, the Tribune reported.
Baker was a second-round pick by the Twins in the 2003 draft. He debuted with Minnesota in 2005. In seven seasons with the Twins, Baker was 63-48 with a 4.15 ERA.

Down goes Frazar ... and other players on the brink
Updated: November 2, 2007, 9:37 PM ETBy Bob Harig | Special to ESPN.com
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The monorail whizzed nearby, the Magic Kingdom loomed in the distance. Not that Harrison Frazar noticed as his 2007 golf season came to an end Friday at Walt Disney World, a strange setting for so much strife.This is supposed to be a happy place, but there were plenty of long faces on the Palm and Magnolia courses, where the last event on the PGA Tour schedule is unfolding, golfers' careers in the balance. And it is more about guys such as Frazar than ...

Do Elongase® and Platinum® Taq High Fidelity enzymes leave a 3'-A overhang on the PCR product for subsequent cloning into a TOPO® TA Cloning® or original TA vectors? What about Platinum® Pfx polymerase?
Product FAQ
Elongase® and Platinum® Taq High Fidelity polymerase mixes do leave 3' A overhangs on a portion of the PCR products, however, the cloning efficiency is greatly reduced from that obtained with Taq polymerase alone. Platinum® Pfx polymerase does not leave 3' A overhangs. Therefore, with all proofreading enzymes or enzyme mixes that contain proofreading polymerases, we recommend that you treat the PCR product with Taq at the end of the PCR reaction, prior to TA cloning. To do this, add 1 U of Taq to a 50 μL reaction and incubate at 68-72 degrees C for 15 min. Phenol extract and ethanol precipitate the product before TA cloning.
Additional notes: The cloning efficiency decreases with increasing size of PCR products. For larger PCR fragments, we recommend that you gel-purify the PCR product and screen several clones. PCR primers should be designed with a 5' G, since Taq leaves a 3' A overhang preferentially on DNA ending in C.

What thermal stable DNA polymerase is recommended for PCR amplification of long PCR targets?
Product FAQ
Successful amplification of long PCR targets is dependent variables such as sufficient extension time during the PCR amplification, cosolvent addition, pH of the reaction buffer, salt concentration, primer design, use of a hot start, DNA sample integrity, and the enzyme's proofreading and polymerase activities. Routine amplification of targets up to 5 kb has been successful with the use of AmpliTaq® Polymerase and AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase under standard PCR buffer conditions. However, for targets ranging from 5 kb up to 40 kb, rTth DNA Polymerase, XL works optimally. This enzyme and its optimized buffer promote not only efficient DNA synthesis, but also allow for correction of nucleotide misincorporations that might otherwise prematurely terminate synthesis. Please refer to the GeneAmp® XL PCR Kit Product Insert for more information.

When amplifying long PCR targets, is the concentration of the deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) limiting?
Product FAQ
The concentration of dNTPs in a standard PCR amplification is 200 μM each, for a total of 800 μM. This total dNTP amount corresponds to 39 μg of dNTPs. This is a huge excess and, when generating long PCR fragments, is not a limiting factor during the PCR amplification, as the amount of target DNA generated is generally no more than 1 μg. More importantly, the reaction condition variables need to be monitored more closely in order for successful long PCR amplification to occur.

How much AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase is used in a PCR amplification?
Product FAQ
Most PCR amplifications use 2.5 units of AmpliTaq® DNA polymerase per 100 μL reaction. A 25 μL reaction would use about 0.6 units. However, the optimal unit concentration per reaction should be empirically determined, and often the less is better rule applies. Using too much AmpliTaq® may result in non-specific amplification.

How much MgCl2 should be added to the PCR amplification when using AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase or AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase?
Product FAQ
The standard starting point is a final concentration of 1.5 mM magnesium ion. Since each molecule of dNTP (total 0.8 mM per reaction at 200 μM each) binds a magnesium ion, 0.8 mM magnesium ions are unavailable for AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase to use; hence, 0.7 mM free magnesium ions will be available as a cofactor for Taq's polymerization activity. It is important to note that there are other substrates in PCR amplifications that can also bind free magnesium (such as primers and template) therefore, the magnesium ion concentration should be titrated in order to find the optimum concentration for each reaction.

What is "Hot-start" PCR?
Product FAQ
Hot-start is a technique commonly used to improve the sensitivity and specificity of PCR amplifications. The major obstacle to obtaining highly sensitive and specific amplifications appears to be competing side reactions such as the amplification of non-target sequences (mis-priming) and primer oligomerization. In an otherwise optimized PCR amplification, most non-specific products can be attributed to pre-PCR mispriming. Mispriming can occur any time all components necessary for amplification are present at permissive temperatures (below optimal annealing temperature) such as during reaction set up. A hot start can be performed either manually or can be automated utilizing AmpliTaq Gold DNA Polymerase.
In the manual hot-start technique a key component necessary for amplification, such as the enzyme, is withheld from the reaction mix until the reaction reaches a temperature above the optimal annealing temperature of the primers. Once this temperature is reached, the missing component is added and the PCR amplification is allowed to proceed. Because a key component was withheld from the reaction at permissive temperatures, competing side reactions are minimized and specific amplification occurs.
AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase facilitates the automation of the hot start technique and decreases the potential for contamination. AmpliTaq Gold DNA Polymerase is a modified form of AmpliTaq DNA Polymerase. Once activated, AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase performs just as AmpliTaq DNA Polymerase does. Since it is provided in its inactive form, it can be added to a reaction without the fear of pre-PCR misprimed primers being extended. Once all of the components for amplification have been added to a tube, the reaction is heated to 95C for 5 - 10 minutes. This incubation activates the enzyme and allows the reaction to proceed normally.

What is the expected half life of AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase at 95 degrees C?
Product FAQ
The half-life of AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase at 95 degrees C is 40 min. During PCR, the sample is only incubated at the programmed temperature for approximately 20 seconds. Therefore, the cycling half-life of AmpliTaq Gold at 95 degrees C is approximately 100 cycles.
Example: AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase experiences about 20 seconds at 95 degrees C per PCR cycle. The t1/2 is at least 33 minutes; (35-40 min). Therefore, 33 min/20 sec/cycle = 100 cycles. 100 PCR cycles reduces enzyme activity by 50%.

Does the fidelity of AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase change in the presence of base analogs?
Product FAQ
The fidelity of this PCR enzyme is affected in two ways. First, AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase typically binds to and incorporates base analogs less efficiently than conventional dNTPs, which means that polymerase activity is lower in reactions that contain base analogs. Second, the analog may pair with more than one conventional complementary template base, so the analog may be incorporated at an increased level compared to conventional dNTPs. For the best fidelity, we recommend that base analogs are included at low concentrations in the reaction.

Does AmpliTaq® Gold DNA Polymerase contain exonuclease (proofreading) activity?
Product FAQ
No, AmpliTaq® Gold DNA polymerase does not contain proofreading activity, however fidelity in PCR amplifications utilizing this enzyme may be improved. High fidelity can be achieved by: 1. Decreasing the final concentration of each nucleotide to 40-50 uM. 2. Using the lowest MgCl2 concentration possible. 3. Using less enzyme. 4. Decreasing extension times. 5. Using the highest annealing temperature possible. 6. Using as few cycles as possible.

How does AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase differ from AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase?
Product FAQ
AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase is a modified form of AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase that contains a proprietary chemical (or so-called hot start molecule) bound to the enzyme's active site. In order to activate the AmpliTaq Gold® DNA Polymerase fully, we recommend an initial activation step of 95 degrees C for 10 min when using GeneAmp® 10X PCR Buffer I and/or GeneAmp® 10X PCR Buffer II and Mg in one of our thermal cyclers. When using GeneAmp® 10X PCR Gold Buffer, activation time can be reduced to 5 minutes. Once activation is complete, you can proceed with your standard PCR cycling program (denaturing, annealing, extension, etc).

How does TA Cloning® work?
Product FAQ
Taq polymerase has a non-template-dependent terminal transferase activity that adds a single deoxyadenosine (A) to the 3´ ends of PCR products. The linearized vector supplied in our TA Cloning® kits have single, overhanging 3´ deoxythymidine (T) residues. This allows PCR inserts to ligate efficiently with the vector.

Can I use a DNA polymerase mixture containing both Taq polymerase and a proofreading polymerase for TA Cloning®?
Product FAQ
If you wish to use a polymerase mixture containing Taq polymerase and a proofreading polymerase, Taq must be used in excess with a 10:1 ratio of Taq to the proofreading enzyme to ensure the presence of 3´ A-overhangs on the PCR product. If you use polymerase mixtures that do not have enough Taq polymerase or a proofreading polymerase only, you can add 3' A-overhangs following PCR. See the vector product manuals for details.
Some examples of Taq blends that are compatible with TOPO® TA Cloning® are Platinum® Taq DNA Polymerase High Fidelity and AccuPrime™ Taq DNA Polymerase High Fidelity.

On vehicles equipped with the Bosch hydraulic brake booster, the boost pressure accumulator may crack and break away from the hydro-boost assembly during normal operation. If this were to happen while the hood is open, fragments from the accumulator could injure people standing in the immediate area. The loss of fluid while driving would cause increased steering and braking effort and a crash could occur without warning. Dealers will test the hydro-boost assembly for function of the two-function valve. If the hydro-boost assembly fails the test, it will be replaced free of charge. The recall began March 23, 2005. The GM recall number is 05006.
Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Recalls
Under certain conditions, the shift lever position indicator located in the instrument cluster may not illuminate. If the indicator does not illuminate, the driver may not know which gear the vehicle is in. This could result in the vehicle moving in an unintended direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel cluster to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on February 14, 2005. The General Motors recall number is 05023.
The bolt attaching the intermediate steering shaft to the steering gear may break, resulting in loss of steering ability, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the intermediate shaft bolt to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin on January 24, 2005. The General Motors recall number is 05010.
The engine fuel rail crossover tube retainer screws may not have been manufactured to specifications and can break. If the retainer screws break, fuel could leak from the crossover joint. As a result, the engine may stall. Additionally, any fuel leak increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel rail crossover tube and if necessary replace the retainer screws. Owners were contacted by telephone beginning July 30, 2004. The General Motors recall number is 04066.
The hydro-boost housing relief valve bore may be out of specification. The seal may fracture as a result, which may reduce braking assist and slightly increase the steering effort while braking. Under certain conditions, more braking effort will be required to stop the vehicle. Dealers will replace the hydro-boost relief valve. The recall began June 18, 2004. The GM recall number is 04004.
On 110 vehicles, the windshield may not have a full bead of urethane bond to the body surface. This is against the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard and the windshield may not be retained during a crash. Dealers will remove, reseal, and reinstall the windshield. The recall began January 28, 2003. The GM recall number is 03001.

PETALING JAYA: Shooter Ng Beng Chong seems to get better with age.
The businessman, who will turn 53 on Aug 5, shot a personal best of 137 points to win the men's individual trap event in the Selangor Shooting Championships at the Subang Range yesterday.
Beng Chong's previous best was 135 and his score of 116 in the preliminary rounds also surpassed the SEA Games qualifying mark of 112.
Unfortunately for him, there are no shotgun events at the Myanmar SEA Games in December.
Dr Quek Swee Guan, 42, who only took up shooting two years ago, bagged the silver with 129 points while Charles Chen, who holds the national record of 139 points set in Singapore in 2010, only managed 124 to finish third.
Beng Chong admitted that he never expected to shoot a personal best.
"I just did my normal routine and was surprised to score 116 points to finish first among 22 shooters in the qualifying rounds. I did well to score 21 points in the final for a personal best," said Beng Chong.
"It's really pleasing to achieve a personal best at my age. I seem to perform better with age. I am physically fit and have good eyesight and will continue competing for as long as I can.
"My goal is to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. To do that, I have to continue improving my personal best."
Beng Chong made his international debut for Malaysia only six years ago – in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha. He also featured in the pre-Olympic meet in Beijing in 2008.
He has won two trap team events in the SEASA championships in Bangkok in 2009 and Selangor last year.
Meanwhile, Mohd Nurrahimin Abdul Halim of Pahang accumulated 1,151 points to equal his own national junior mark, which he set in the boys' 50m rifle three position event last year.
Negri Sembilan's Mohd Lufti Othman, who won gold in both the boys' and men's 50m rifle prone events on Friday, took silver (1,145 points) while Perak's Razi Aizat Adzha (1,139) took bronze.

Nowata County Ranchers Report Cattle being Shot
By AP
NOWATA, Okla. (AP) — Ranchers in northeast Oklahoma's Nowata County say someone has been shooting their livestock — costing them thousands of dollars.
Authorities say seven cows in addition to other livestock have been shot and killed during the past two months — the latest on Friday.
Rancher Jarad Collins told KOTV that Friday's shooting of his Black Angus cost him about $2,000.
Sheriff James Hallet says that in one case, a young girl's pet llama was shot and in another — the calf of a 12-year-old boy was killed.
Hallet says he suspects the person, or persons, responsible are local because the killings have been relatively close together.

'We'll wait till a clear picture emerges after the budget in July to launch protests'
The clear indication by the Congress government that it is in no mood to blindly commit itself to implementing all the flagship programmes that had been either announced or commenced during the previous dispensation has ruffled the feathers of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Soon after being sworn in as Chief Minister, Siddaramaiah hinted that there will not be any blanket commitment to implementing all the schemes of the BJP government. If this was enough to anger the BJP, several new Ministers have declared that they will be selective in continuing the BJP's welfare measures under their departments.
Some of the schemes and decisions, which were hurriedly announced by the BJP government just before the elections, including the formation of 43 new taluks, are among those whose fate is uncertain. What has irritated the BJP is the fact that the Ministers have issued statements saying some of these schemes will be discontinued after it (BJP) warned the Chief Minister against such efforts.
However, the BJP has decided to wait till the presentation of the budget by Mr. Siddaramaiah in July to launch a protest against the efforts to shun its flagship programmes. "We will get a clear picture about the programmes likely to be shunned after the presentation of the budget. Hence, we will wait till such time," sources in the BJP said.
Though the BJP leaders have been critical in their public statements against efforts to shun their flagship programmes, the party actually wants to give time, at least two months, to the new dispensation before launching its protest as the party feels that it may not be appropriate for it to get into an aggressive mood against the government so soon, especially after the manner in which it was voted out of power in the Assembly elections.
"We will launch a campaign after the budget against the efforts to shun our welfare measures as it is the question of protecting our political influence and political constituency," the BJP sources said.

|Idzik introduced as Jets' new GM
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 24 January 2013 06:37
The 52-year-old Idzik, formerly the Seahawks' vice president of football administration, says Thursday that the Jets will ``explore every measure to bring in talent and to compete.'' He adds that the NFL draft will be the team's ``lifeline.''
Idzik, wearing a green and black checkered tie, was hired last Friday after a two-week search by the Jets that included 10 candidates. Idzik had been with the Seahawks the past six seasons after previously working in the front offices of Tampa Bay and Arizona.
Idzik's primary strengths include managing salaries and the salary cap, but he has also worked in player personnel - a combination that attracted the Jets.

"It is encouraging to have a prenatal biologic measure that predicts postpartum depression," Sheeder said. "However, I am not sure about the practicality of using pCRH as a screening tool. It has been shown that prenatal depression is predictive of postpartum depression, and it is easier and cheaper to do that type of screening than pCRH in most clinical settings."

I like you.
That is difficult to say because I loathe people with low post counts as a general rule.
But your first paragraph about how instructors 'know' what works is dead on. In fact I probably would have to write several paragraphs to say what you did in one.
The last paragraph also struck me. I have mentioned before how many people are absorbing MMA, Vale Tudo, and BJJ techniques - drills - skills - etc and passing them off in thier own style. What is worse is that they usually do a bit of revisionist history stating that they have 'always done this'. Which is bullshit. We went over this on the Speakman Kenpo thread in the video where it starts off in bold titles "THIS IS WHAT WE DO"...which was crap. It should have read: "This Is What We Do Now...after the post-UFC explosion that revealled our gaping holes and piss poor training methods" because we all know just 10 years ago they were playing slap tag with foam gear and calling points for ridgehands and backfists to the top of the head.
I'll be watching you carefully.

Floods worsen quake woes in Bohol
More News from Inquirer Visayas
CORTES, BOHOL—"Not another disaster."
Dioscora Tabige, 57, expressed this exasperation, which may as well be what the people of this town and province feel.
Tabige's family, and several others in this town, fled to higher ground when the Abatan River overflowed as a result of relentless rains brought by Tropical Depression "Wilma."
"We just experienced an earthquake, now it's the flooding. What are we going to do?" Tabige said.
Tabige, her husband, six children and a sister, 59-year-old Teotima Apog, fled to a hill after waters reached 10-feet deep on Monday.
Apog told the Inquirer the family was about to have dinner on Monday night when they heard the roar of water rushing toward the town.
"We saw our food floating on the water," Apog said.
Tabige cried as she recalled the fear that gripped her as she and her family fled. "Where would we live now?" she said.
Tabige's house was one of those that were damaged as a result of the 7.2-magnitude quake that struck Bohol on Oct. 15. A computer, mattresses and kitchen appliances were destroyed.
She said Monday's flooding was not the first to hit the town. Last week, knee-deep floods came when the town's rice fields could no longer hold the water, sending it rushing to the town.
Monday's floods were the worst, however, according to Tabige.
Sergio Coquilla, resident of another village, Loreto, said his family had to flee to a hill, too.
Coquilla said Monday's floods were also the worst he had seen. "It overflowed to the road," he said.
The flood, he said, may have been worsened by a collapsed bridge that blocked the flow of water.
A hanging bridge connecting the villages of Loreto and Tupas in another town, Antequera, was destroyed.
The Cortes municipal disaster office said at least 24 houses and several rice fields in another village, Rosario, suffered damage.
Alfonso Damalerio, Bohol provincial administrator, said authorities were still assessing the extent of the flood damage.
The flood also destroyed a bridge in the village of Baan in Catigbian town.
The Mines and Geosciences Bureau in Central Visayas reiterated an advisory to areas that are prone to landslides and flooding.
Eddie Llamedo, spokesperson of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in the region, said local governments in areas worst hit by the quake should resort to "proactive evacuation."
These are Tagbilaran City and the towns of Baclayon, Corella, Cortes, Alburquerque, Panglao, Dauis, Loon, Calape, Catigbian, Balilihan, Batuan, Sagbayan and Carmen.
Isabelo Montejo, Central Visayas DENR director, said authorities should keep people out of areas prone to landslides and flooding.
"It is very important that mayors and barangay captains pay attention to critical areas found highly vulnerable to flooding and landslides, which have been known to them and indicated in the geohazard threat advisory issued them," Montejo said.

This last weekend I volunteered to make three flower arrangements for my nieces graduation reception. I knew that I would want to recycle some of the gorgeous paper gardenias and the mix of plum, raspberry and mauve mums that I have saved from a guest post to coordinate with her plum graduation outfit. I gathered fresh cut camellia branches from my yard, cut long stemmed mint from my sister's garden and added some of the fresh cut lavender we found at a local lavender farm. The results were gorgeous and very fragrant at the afternoon gathering. Below I give you a step-by-step on how I created these frugalista bouquets. Later this week I will share the printable templates for the paper mums. Enjoy! ~ Lia

You will then be outside security on the lower level of Terminal 5. Your next step depends on what airline you are taking for your next flight. What airline are you taking and where are you going?

Should I go through immigration and would i have enough time to catch the flight to PHX? thanks (first time being in the u.s.)riqThu, May 21Yes, upon arrival in LAX you will go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, re-check your bags at the transfer desk, then go to Terminal 4, go through security, then you will likely have to take the shuttle bus to the American Eagle satellite terminal. You barely have enough time.ZAPThu, May 21but the jal flight and the mesa air flight is within one reservation. Wouldn't they transfer the bags for me?riqThu, May 21They do transfer your bags for you - from the re-check desk in the International Terminal to your Mesa flight. You have to claim your bags to go through US Customs when entering the United States. There's really nothing you can do to speed up the process other than not wasting any time and moving as quickly as you can.ZAPThu, May 21

ClassicsOnline Home » PLEYEL: String Quartets, Op. 2, Nos. 1-3 > Review List
While he was in Paris in 1784, Mozart saw a newly-published set of string quartets by Pleyel, and was impressed enough by them to write to his father Leopold that they were as good as any he had seen, and worthy of being 'up there' with Haydn's. High praise indeed, and well deserved - although not in the same class as Mozart's own. Pleyel's writing is highly melodic, at times employing simplistic phrasing, but always enjoyable. The Enso Quartet members play with infectious enthusiasm, with excellent acoustics adding to the enjoyment of listening to this easily accessible music.

You probably have many collections each of which contain one or more query in order to populate each collection. Additionally your programs may have requirements set on them as well. These options are available to make sure that software will successfully install and at the same time allows you to target the appropriate users and devices that are applicable to install the software. However, now that the app model allows you to set requirements for apps to install why would you leave the software requirements portion of your targeting intent in your collection queries? In this new model you can concentrate on making sure that the right users and devices are targeted with an app rather than building tons of collections and queries to make sure the user's machine has the minimum amount of disk space, memory, and operating system to run an application being deployed.
Package Conversion Manager (PCM) makes it easy to move to this new model by allowing you to convert your collection queries at the same time as converting your packages to app model applications. In this blog post we will walk through some examples of collection queries and program requirements being converted into global conditions or requirements and finally what the finished product looks like with requirement rules added to your application.
First lets walk through a couple of collection queries which we will use to convert to global conditions and requirement rules and how these queries are chosen for conversion during the process. When an application is selected for the fix and convert process, Package Conversion Manager will interrogate the collections that the package's program(s) are deployed to in order to present the PCM admin doing the conversion with a list of queries which can be converted to global conditions and requirement rules.
Say for example there is a collection which contains a couple of queries used to populate the collection.
One for adding devices which contain 2 processors:
select R.ResourceID,R.ResourceType,R.Name,R.SMSUniqueIdentifier,R.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,R.Client from SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM as G inner join SMS_R_System as R on G.ResourceID = R.ResourceID where G.NumberOfProcessors = 2
The other collection query for adding a computer with a specific name:
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_SYSTEM where NetBiosName = 'pcmdemo'
Of course you probably have queries which are a lot more complex, but these are just a couple of simple examples of collection queries which can be converted. We will discuss how these queries will be converted when we discuss the fix and convert process below.
Note: Not all queries can be converted and I have added a few examples of queries which can't be converted in the FAQ section below.
Now that we have briefly covered a couple of collection queries which can be converted let's talk about one other piece of information which can be converted. If you have set OS requirements on programs PCM will allow you to also convert these requirements to the app model. Below is an example of a program requiring any 64 bit Windows 7 OS which can be converted over to the app model.
We will walk through how this requirement can be converted below when we walk through the Fix and Convert process.
In this section we will walk through how the above collection queries and program requirement can be converted into global conditions and requirement rules using PCM's Fix and Convert wizard and where these requirements land in the app model after the conversion. Now let's walk through converting the above queries to global conditions and requirement rules at the same time as we convert a package and its program(s) to an application and deployment type(s).
The first thing you will do is find and select the package that you would like to convert to the application model. It is important to remember that collection queries are only converted to the app model while converting a package which contains one or more programs which are deployed to the collection containing queries. Likewise requirements will only get converted if a package's program(s) contain OS requirements. Of course you could also manually set these up, but PCM does this automatically for you when converting your packages to applications using the Fix and Convert Wizard. The important thing to understand is PCM doesn't provide a way to convert collection queries or program requirements outside of converting packages to applications. Additionally you may be thinking that the fix and convert wizard is only for converting those applications which are broken or have a state of manual, but this isn't always the case. If you want to convert your collection queries or program requirements into global conditions and requirement rules then you will need to use the fix and convert wizard.
Once you have identified the package that is tied to a collection query or OS requirement that you would like to convert you can select the Fix and Convert option from either the ribbon item or right clicking menu.
Walk through the wizard which will display until you get to the Requirement Selection page. From this page you can select each of the programs which will be converted to deployment types in order to select the collection queries and program requirements that will be converted to global conditions and requirement rules. Below is an example of the page which is displayed allowing you to select the different collection queries and program requirements available from each program.
From this page you can pick and choose which collection queries and Program Requirements you would like to convert during the conversion process. Once you select the queries and requirements you would like to convert and finish out of the wizard, PCM will create the applications, Deployment Types, Global Conditions and then add these as requirements to the converted Deployment Type(s).
Additionally if we look at the global conditions after the conversion process completes for the above application we can see that a custom global condition has been created from the NetBIOS Name collection query.
Additionally if we open up the converted application we can see that the collection queries and program requirements which we selected and created during the conversion process all show up as requirements on the application.
Note: If you analyze a package and it has a readiness state of automatic you will still need to use the fix and convert wizard in order to convert the collection queries and program requirements to global conditions and requirement rules. I know that I stated this above, but thought it was important enough to mention again.
In this section I have added a few FAQs specific to converting collection queries and requirement rules along with their answers.
Will PCM successfully convert multiple programs with different OS requirements and attach the appropriate requirements to the appropriate DTs which were converted?
When walking through the fix and convert wizard the requirement selection page will allow you to select a DT, which will be created from the program, and then allow you to select the requirements which you would like to convert and add to the deployment type's requirements. Yes, you can pick and choose which requirements to add to each of the deployment types and these will get added.
Which Collection queries will not be converted?
Here are a few examples of queries which won't get converted as they really don't tie to software requirements and shouldn't be converted to global conditions or requirement rules:
There are also queries which can't be converted as deconstructing the queries would be very difficult. One example of this type includes queries which contain multiple select statements.
Additional there are keywords which PCM doesn't support in queries:
What happens if I already converted a collection query to a global condition and then convert another package\program which is deployed to the same or different collection which contains the same query?
Regardless if a collection query is on one or multiple collections it will only be converted once. If you convert a second application which is deployed to a collection containing that same collection query the previously converted global condition will be added as a requirement to the converted deployment type.

Ordered the part easily using model number and schematic on web site. Part came in two days. Unfortunately, they had the right part number but the wrong part was pulled and sent to me. I called and they resolved the issue over the phone and sent me the right part in two days. Part snapped right on in 5 seconds and I was back washing my dishes that evening.
