This Fantasea CoolFlash Nano with Focus Light Kit combines a durable watertight housing together with a remote land flash. The combination provides the perfect economical solution that can be used with all digital point-and-shoot cameras. The strobe unit triggers in sync with the digital camera's internal flash through a small light sensor in the strobe body.
The Nano has three flash modes to suit a wide variety of digital cameras. Whether your camera is capable of manual mode or has one or two pre-flashes to set exposure, the strobe ensures correct exposure with all such camera types.
The CoolFlash Nano attaches easily to the included 12" (30cm) flex arm and the photographer is ready to shoot great photos underwater and outdoors in extreme environments. The CoolFlash Nano works with all Fantasea housings as well as other digital camera housings.
As you go deeper underwater the blue color of the water filters out all the beautiful reds, oranges and other colors. Using an external flash close to your subject brings back the true vibrant colors of the underwater world.
The camera's internal flash is too close to the lens and will cause a snow like effect called back-scatter. The internal flash along with the included fiber optic cable is used to fire the CoolFlash Nano.
Small digital cameras have trouble focusing in low light or on a low contrast scene. When the included Fantasea Nano Focus Light is aimed at your subject it gives your camera enough light to focus. The light is also bright enough to use on night dives. Because the light has a wide beam and daylight color balance, the light does not affect your image. The light automatically shuts off when the camera pre-flash is fired. The light has a mounting ring that allows for easy attachment to strobe arms and lens port brackets. The included padded housing bag makes traveling with your housing and lights easy and convenient.

Cat Scratch FeverWith a little patience, you can persuade your cat to stop clawing the sofa.
To stop your feline from using your couch for manicures, you need to get him or her interested in a scratching post or pad.
Pick the right scratch device. For horizontal scratchers (cats that stay on all fours and scratch across a level surface), try a pad made of corrugated cardboard, which felines like because it's rough like the bark of a tree. It also massages the paws. Many brands contain catnip to further entice your feline. Check out the SmartyKat SuperScratcher (made from recycled cardboard and organically grown catnip) at most pet stores. For vertical scratchers (cats that stand on hind legs and scratch up high), choose a tall and stable post covered in carpet (available at most pet stores) or roughtextured sisal fabric (it stands up to heavy use; go to purrfectpost.com) or solid cedar (the most natural choice; see cozycatfurniture.com).
Train your cat to use it. Place the scratching device near where your cat normally scratches. You might have to pick him or her up and indicate where to swipe when he or she eyes the couch. Once your cat gets accustomed to it, gradually move the post or pad to your designated "scratching area." Before long—about one to two weeks on average—your cat will learn where to go when the itch to scratch strikes. If your cat ignores the post and continues to use the couch, patiently, firmly, and consistently remind him or her of the acceptable place for scratching. Harsher tactics like spraying your cat with water can backfire and create a more defiant or fearful pet.

"Et là je t'ai tout donné, montré, rien à cacher, tu es là Ivy, comme le nombre d'or. Jay, comment tu dis nombre d'or?"
[Jay Z]
"The golden number."
from Jay Z – Picasso Baby Lyrics on Genius
WOMAN: I have given and shown you everything, with nothing to hide. There you are, Ivy, like the nombre d'or… Jay, how do you say nombre d'or?
JAY: "The golden number."
WOMAN: That's right. [Touché means something like "that's right" or "good point"; a better approximation might be the English idiom "You hit the nail on the head."]
Another art reference from the connoisseur and collector, Jay-Z. There's an artistic and mathematical principle of proportion called the golden ratio, or, in French, the nombre d'or. Many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio, especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio, believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing. (Da Vinci is the painter of the Mona Lisa, depicted below with the golden ratio, and he is mentioned earlier in the song.)
What Jay's saying, in an artistic way, is that Blue Ivy is so beautiful that she's aesthetically perfect.
The reference to the golden number actually has a deeper meaning. The golden number is mathematically defined as (1+√5)/2 which equals 1.61 to 2 decimal places.
You'll notice that the song has two distinctive parts. the first lasting 151 seconds and the second lasting 94 seconds.
These two parts actually divide into each other to give the golden number. 151/94 = 1.61 to two decimal places.
This means the parts of the song are in the ratio of the GOLDEN ratio. For real.

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, 920 RESCUE WING, PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, PATRICK AFB, FLORIDA and LOCAL 2568, AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, AFL-CIO
The Department of the Air Force, Patrick Air Force Base, Patrick AFB, Florida (Employer) filed a request for assistance with the Federal Service Impasses Panel (Panel) to consider a negotiation impasse under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (Statute), 5 U.S.C. § 7119, between it and Local 2568, American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (Union).
After an investigation of the request for assistance, which arises from bargaining over the impact-and-implementation of the Employer's decision to require Air Reserve Technicians (ARTs) to wear the military uniform, the Panel directed the parties to mediation-arbitration with the undersigned. Accordingly, on January 19, 2010, a telephonic mediation-arbitration session was held with representatives of the parties. During the mediation phase, the parties were unable to voluntarily resolve the outstanding issue. In reaching this decision, I have considered the entire record in this matter, including the parties' final offers and post-conference written statements of position.
The mission of Patrick Air Force Base is to provide support for the space shuttle program operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This dispute concerns a tenant organization on the base, the 920th Rescue Wing, which provides support for shuttle deployments and recovery. The Union represents a bargaining unit consisting of approximately 150 General Schedule and Wage Grade employees who hold positions as ARTs. The majority of ARTs work as aircraft and helicopter mechanics, while other ARTs are part of the flight crew or work in administrative positions. Although ARTs occupy civilian positions, as a condition of employment, an incumbent must maintain active duty status as a military reservist in the Air Force. Reserve duty requires ARTs to serve 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks a year in the military reserves. While on military reserve duty, ARTs must wear the military uniform that is provided by the Air Force. Currently, while performing their civilian jobs, ARTs are not required to wear a military uniform. In August 2007, however, the Employer notified the Union that ARTs would be required to wear their military uniform at all times when on civilian duty. The parties' most recent collective-bargaining agreement, which was implemented in 1995, does not address the wearing of uniforms by ARTs.
The parties disagree over the initial allowance ARTs should receive to purchase uniforms and, thereafter, whether they should be afforded an annual allowance to purchase uniform replacements, as needed.
1. The Employer's Position
The Employer proposes the following:
All Air Reserve Technicians in their Reserve capacity are already authorized 4 ABUs[1]/ and 4 blues. If the Air Reserve Technician in their Reserve capacity did not receive the 4 ABUs and 4 blues, then the agency will issue additional uniforms at the request of the employee up to the requisite number of authorized uniforms. All eligible Air Reserve Technicians will receive $150 initial uniform allowance. Employees who transfer from another unit who previously received an initial uniform allowance will be excluded from the $150 initial allowance. Air Reserve Technicians will be authorized to replace any unserviceable uniforms, in-kind.
The Employer contends that it is important to take into consideration that ARTs, in their capacity as military reservists, are authorized to receive four complete sets each of the ABUs and the blue uniform. These are the same uniforms they will be required to wear in their civilian jobs as ARTs. Thus, it would be unnecessary, as well as costly, for the Employer to provide each ART with an allowance to purchase a supply of uniforms to be worn 5-days-a-week when they already have received uniforms from the military. Providing an initial allowance of $150 would be sufficient for ARTs to purchase an additional two ABU blouses and two ABU trousers. With the money to purchase two more uniforms, each ART would have six sets of ABUs and four sets of blues, a more-than-sufficient supply of uniforms for the workweek. Furthermore, it should be noted that ARTs perform many different types of duties and, because of that, uniforms would have to be replaced at varying rates depending upon the amount of wear and tear the uniform receives. In-kind replacement would allow an ART to replace uniforms, as needed, whether once every few months or once every 3 years. The Union's proposal, which would require the Employer to provide each ART with an annual allowance that equals the maximum amount permitted by law to purchase uniform replacements, is unjustified in circumstances where the frequency of uniform replacement is unknown. Moreover, if the full amount of the allowance is not utilized, it would result in a windfall for ARTs.
2. The Union's Position
The Union proposes that bargaining-unit ARTs receive an initial uniform allowance in the amount of $1,764.20 and, thereafter, an annual uniform allowance of $800. The Union maintains that it is inappropriate to consider the number of uniforms an employee may have received while performing duties as a military reservist. In this regard, the parties are bargaining over working conditions of ARTs, who are Title 5 employees, and it would be illegal for the Union to bargain over a matter that pertains to military entitlements. Therefore, no consideration should be given concerning the number of uniforms employees may have received on the military side. In addition, the Employer's proposal to provide each ART with $150 to purchase additional uniforms is insufficient to purchase even one complete uniform set. Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that ARTs have been provided uniforms during the course of their military reservist duties, some employees maintain that they were provided those uniforms many years ago and the number provided would be inadequate for daily wear while performing ART duties. An initial allowance of $1,764.20 is justified because ARTs are in need of a sufficient number of uniforms to wear to work 5-days-a-week. According to the Union, Title 5 firefighters on the installation currently receive an initial uniform allowance of $1,600, and an annual allowance of $800; the Union's proposal is consistent with the allowances the Employer provides to other employees who are required to wear uniforms.
Having carefully considered the arguments and evidence presented in this case, I conclude that the impasse should be resolved on the basis of a compromise solution that requires the Employer to provide an initial uniform allowance of $300 to each ART, and in-kind replacement of uniforms thereafter. Contrary to the Union's assertions, the fact that ARTs already have uniforms that they are required to wear during their service as reservists cannot be ignored. Other than the bare assertions of the parties, however, the record does not substantiate how long ago those uniforms may have been provided and the number of complete sets of uniforms that currently are in the possession of each ART. Moreover, the parties disagree over the uniform components that should be provided to ARTs for the purpose of furnishing them with the equivalent of two additional uniforms. While both parties have offered statements in support of the allowances they have proposed, the record evidence is insufficient to adequately assess whether the monetary amounts proposed by each party are justified to meet the uniform needs of ARTs. In order for ARTs to be compliant with the new uniform requirement imposed by the Employer, they should be assured of having an adequate number of uniforms to wear during the workweek. Accordingly, an initial allowance of $300 should be sufficient to supplement the number of uniforms which ARTs already have in their possession, permitting them to meet the requirement to wear uniforms 5-days-a-week. Furthermore, in-kind replacement of uniforms, rather than an annual allowance, should help contain the cost of this new uniform requirement and, at the same time, ensure that ARTs have serviceable uniforms available to them.
The Employer shall provide each ART with an initial allowance of $300 to purchase uniforms. ARTs will be authorized to replace any unserviceable uniforms, in-kind.

Strange Trend: Teens Ingesting Embalming Fluid as Drug
The Body Odd blog on MSNBC.com reports on a bizarre trend that may be on the rise: kids soaking marijuana in formaldehyde embalming fluid, then smoking it in order to get a "higher high" than with marijuana alone:
Here's what's happening: People seeking an enhanced high soak marijuana joints in, in these particular cases, formaldehyde, for the secondary effects. "Embalming fluid burns more slowly than the marijuana would if it were not treated," says Dr. Bret Nicks, assistant professor of emergency medicine at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, N.C. This technique causes what can be an intense hallucinatory effect.
In the 1990s, there was a rash of cases of overexposure to inhaled formaldehyde, whose side effects included hallucinations, paranoia, panic, and loss of consciousness. This past 4th of July weekend, three Texas teenagers were hospitalized with an overdose of embalming fluid, and two funeral home burglaries were recently reported where formaldehyde was the only stolen item.
If parents need another reason to advise their kids against this practice, they might note that formaldehyde was recently identified as a carcinogen by the US government's National Toxicology Program.Add a Comment

This is ridiculous! Teenagers are not doing this as a trend! Half the teenagers who smoke marijuana aren't even smart enough to know the side effects of formaldehyde, and wouldn't even think to put it on their marijuana! Also how would a typical teenager even get formaldehyde. This is crazy. Articles like this is what makes parents paranoid. It makes them never let their kids leave the house because they are afraid they will do things like this. They end up smothering their kids from fear that their kids are doing drugs. Then their kids will probably try to rebel against their parents, for smothering them and not trusting them, and end up doing what their parents didn't want them to do in the first place! I have seen it happen! This also shows the intelligence of the kids in Texas. As if doing drugs isn't bad enough, make them worse for you! Kids need to be taught about the negative effects of drugs on their growing brains and bodies. What they are doing to themselves are permanent and they aren't even half way through life yet. I am thankful my daughter is not a teenager yet and that I have a looong way to go before then.

I proise you this trend is REAL! I go to university in Philadelphia and I know many natives of this city. You should hear of how many have tried this. It's called "wet" here. I have a friend who has a childhood pregnant friend who even did it while pregnant.

This is definitely true, and also not new. People have been smoking "wet" since I was in hs, and I graduated in 2000. It's gross, yes, but at least finally getting the word out. That's the only slang term I've ever heard it called, but I'm sure there are other names for it. Education is the best way to avoid falling into the trap of sheltering your children to the point of rebellion. Be honest with them, tell them what's out there and the damage it does, and make it clear you won't tolerate any sort of drug use, and people would be surprised at what a little follow-through on consequences will do.

of course like your web site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will certainly come back again.

How do I get this pattern
its on redhearts.com/free pattern it the pattern for the mobile- the 'lace;' is my own invention, instead of sewing the 2 hearts together and stuffing them, i crocheted the hearts together 2 double/triple crochet in each pair of stitches and stuffed it as i went along made them easier to stuff too!
I love the heart pattern

photosmart 7520 won't install or print
I purchased a 7520 last week and I can't for the life of me install it to any computer. I see it in the wireless address settings and I can print a test page from there, but it won't install the software. Is there something I am missing. I have a linksys router that I upgraded the firmware and still no luck. My old printer was working until last Monday (4/29) and I thought it was because it was 3 years old and it just stopped now I am not so sure. I also tried to hook it up USB but it won't work that way either.
Re: photosmart 7520 won't install or print

I tried the Print and Scan doctor but it didn't change anything. I will call the 800 number tonight and see if we can figure this thing out. I am pretty technically minded and this thing is winning!
Re: photosmart 7520 won't install or print
After 2 hours and 45 minutes with HP I am still not able to install this printer. The person with HP claims it is my PC that it has a virus. He took me to some bogus pc helper 360 site that wants to extort money from me. I ran virus scan and a malware scans. The only problems it came up with is broken files in the registries of all the times I have tried to run the software.
I am trying to run the printer on two computers a desktop and a laptop both upgraded to Windows 8. I have a computer that I just got back HP that had memory issues and was able to install the printer in less than 2 minutes. I can't believe that both computers have malware in them preventing a printer from being installed.
Is there a problem with a windows update that happened on or around April 22nd (the last day my printer previously stopped working and started this fiasco)?

Dude that is freak'n impressive. My training schedule has me doing a 1000 K a month. You pulled most of that off over a weekend.
I thought I was riding a bit. :bow I got nuthing.
I went on a loop of Fountainhead this AM. Was supposed to meet a buddy... showed up. No one. Pulled the 15min rule and left.
Fountainhead is one of those places that EVERYbody goes. There's only one loop, so if something happens, it won't be too long before someone comes along. I don't feel too sketched out about riding solo there.
Had a decent little loop: 1:20ish of getting to know where the rust ends and skills start again.
In the process of getting up/ready/eating/etc I didn't turn on my phone.
Guess who'd left a txt that he was bailing? :baldy
Oh well. I had a good little ride anyway.
The dog was giving me the stink-eye for leaving him here today. I'll take him running tomorrow.
goodway2burn halfAday...there's only 'bout tree milesOtar in this loop :deal
Thanks for the kind remarks and encouragement. Just got home to PHX - I'll try to put a trip report together later. I only have a few pics but the organizer took a few which I'll post here when he puts them up.
This one was taken near Big Rock Candy Mountain early Friday evening on the only bike trail that we encountered. This one ran beside a river and in the coolness of the evening, it was the best part of the ride.
More later - It'll take me a few days to recover from this plus I need a new pair of shoes. I did the second day with one shoe wrapped with duct tape. :evil I need a new seat pad too. I got to ride on a makeshift seat pad for the entire ride. :lol3
Oh - when I came through Flagstaff, I saw a few RAAM teams. Mark my words - unless something bad happens, I fully expect a Bacchetta team (there are two teams on Bacchetta bikes) to win the team portion of RAAM.
My first 'Expert level' trail ride
Following last week's abortive attempt and decision never again to try one of the 'Expert Only' trails, I had a change of heart on Sunday and decided to give the Sinkhole trail at Santos another go. This time I actually made it through, and without much drama. :clap I still think you'd have to be a masochist to actually enjoy these kinds of trails, though. Unfortunately I didn't have my video camera with me, but this is what Sinkhole is like. Unfortunately none of these videos convey just how steep the climbs are, or how rough the ground is.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T0oTysSTnWs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Aurelius: if you thing that's rough, don't come riding in VA or anywhere north of here. :nah You won't like the rock gardens that go with the tree roots. :nono
Come riding in Baltimore. If you're clipped in we can teach you to bunny-hop junkies.
Is there an actual Sinkhole on the trail?
I ask because we have a trail named 'Sinkhole' in Western NC that brings the gnar.
Here's a video (not mine): http://sirbikesalot.com/includes/pop...j=&w=492&h=276
GOOD STUFF! :lol3
Edit: And keep in mind that the camera distorts the steepness. I've ridden lots of stuff and this trail (where it drops off on the left) freaks me the f**k out. This is the only trail I know that a couple of my buddies won't ride.
My girlfriend and I, both, rode Sinkhole. That's nothing compared to some of what we have up here.

D. J. Hendrick International and KMDI International to takestake in the venture
Ruchi Soya Industries, on Saturday, entered into a joint venture with D. J. Hendrick International Inc. (DJHI), a Canadian soyabean research company, and KMDI International, a Japanese trader and marketer of food-grade soyabeans, to increase the yield of soya seeds in India.
While Ruchi Soya will hold 55 per cent stake in the joint venture, DJHI and KMDI will hold 35 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively.
Addressing the media, Ruchi Soya Chairman and Managing Director Dinesh Shahra said, "We will invest equity of Rs.18 crore for the first three years. It is a research-driven project, and we are still to identify the quantum of capital required.''
DJHI will bring in its global breeding, processing technology and knowledge to the Indian market, while KMDI International will provide its global network and establish sound internal controls for the joint venture.
Despite being the world's fifth largest producer of soyabean (at around 12 million tonnes), India's productivity of just 1.017 tonne of soyabean per hectare is less than half of the global average of 2.5 tonnes. It is a net importer of soyabean oil — importing about 1.2 million tonnes annually. Ruchi Soya's capacity of 4 million tonnes is a quarter of India's capacity.
"The joint venture plans to reduce import dependency by improving the oil content in domestically grown soyabeans,'' Mr. Shahra said, adding that, "the pace of consumption of soyabean oil is much faster than local production, and action needs to be taken.''
He added that the joint venture planned to "widen crop management practices for different soyabean types tailored for varied agro-climatic zones to improve yield. The R&D will provide a germplasm with desired traits.
While North and South America use genetically modified (GM) soyabean, Europe, Japan, the U.K, and Australia have banned it. "The joint venture will solidify India's position as a top non-GM producer and open the doors for exports,'' Mr. Shahra said.

©2014 Worldwide Marriage Encounter®All Rights Reserved.
This site is dedicated to the promotion and continuation of the Worldwide Marriage Encounter movement in Central New Jersey.
You've discovered a site that can help married couples turn a good marriage into a GREAT marriage!
The emphasis of Worldwide Marriage Encounter is on communication between husband and wife, who spend a weekend together away from the distractions and the tensions of everyday life, to concentrate on each other.
It's not a retreat, nor a marriage clinic, nor group sensitivity. It's a unique approach aimed at revitalizing Christian Marriage.
This is a time for you and your spouse to be alone together. To rediscover each other and together focus on your relationship for an entire weekend. Every marriage deserves that kind of attention!
You might also want to read a short history of the Marriage Encounter movement within the Catholic Church. It might surprise you to learn that the movement actually began in Spain.
Still have questions? See our FAQ page! If you have a question that is not answered there, you can contact us by clicking here. We'll respond as quickly as we can; usually within 1-2 business days.
Catholic Engaged Encounter is a weekend retreat away with other engaged couples with plenty of time alone together to plan for a sacramental marriage. It is designed to give couples planning marriage the opportunity to dialogue honestly and intensively about their prospective lives together-- their strengths and weaknesses, desires, ambitions, goals, their attitudes about money, sex, children, family, their role in the church and society--in a face to face way.
For more information about just what happens on a weekend, or to locate a Catholic Engaged Encounter Community in a specific Diocese or Locality, you can Click Here.
The mission of Worldwide Marriage Encounter is to proclaim the value of Marriage and Holy Orders in the Church and in the world.

Oxford uses pair of late TDs to down Tigers
It may have been a jamboree in the middle of August, but the atmosphere inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium Friday night would have made one assume it was December. In front of a raucous crowd, the Oxford Chargers stormed back from a 10-0 deficit to defeat Class 6A powerhouse South Panola 14-10 at the Ole Miss Jamboree in a matchup featuring two of the state's top teams.

Swampcreek, if you have a dinghy and dress like a pirate, I understand there's some sort of dinghy race from the harbor to the beach. I'm hoping they don't close down the channel before we can escape.
Have fun if you make it this year!
Dinghy yes, pirate clothes no. We just bought a dinghy back in the spring but havn't even tried it out yet. We've been VERY busy this year taking care of family matters. Still considering the festival, I LOVE a good party but don't care too much for HUGE crowds anymore, or rude idoits that are usually found in huge crowds (My former hardcore biker self sighs). We're also invited to go camping along with a bunch of friends in Cherrystone Va. They want us to bring the Hobie 16 down. I'm up in the air, this will be our first weekend to play since Bike Week in Johnstown Pa. 5 or 6 weeks ago, we'd really like to take the Mac out and do our own thing but everyone wants us to go camping and we could take the Hobie along. The kid in me still likes the idea of the Pirate thing...Oh well, decisions, decisions.

After a successful inaugural tournament that generated $600,000 for Midwest food pantries, the Meijer LPGA Classic presented by Kraft will return to Grand Rapids in 2015 for another week of community events and the best women golfers in the world.
The tournament is slated July 20-26, 2015, at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, and will again benefit the Walker-based retailer Meijer's Simply Give program.
A successful weekend for West Michigan student-athletes as boys tennis and girls golf champions were crowned.
There were a number of strong finishes from West Michigan schools including championship wins by Forest Hills Central Boys Tennis and from East Kentwood and Spring Lake Girls Golf teams.
Railside Golf Club, a private golf club located in Byron Center, is hosting Operation Golf with Heroes, a military appreciation event designed to thank local military men and women for their service. The inaugural golf event, presented by Metro Health, is today, Monday, September 8. More than 100 military servicemen and women have already registered for the event.
Did you happen to be watching The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week when Tiger Woods and Rory Mcllroy were on? It was hysterical.
Martin Kaymer shot a one-under par 69 on Sunday to win the 2014 U.S. Open golf championship at Pinehurst in North Carolina in dominant fashion.
More trophies coming to West Michigan!
The East Grand Rapids and Rockford girls lacrosse teams each won state titles on June 7.
It's almost here. The second annual Catholic Information Center Andy Rent Golf Outing presented by FOX Honda.
Some words of advice: Don't try this at home!
This just doesn't seem possible or safe.
The LPGA will make it's first stop in Michigan since 2000 at the Meijer LPGA Classic in Grand Rapids in 2014.
What an exciting time I had this noon, attending the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation luncheon at the J.W. Marriott.
Why was it exciting? Jack Nicklaus was there!
Nicklaus was a close friend of President Ford, and they played golf many, many times in celebrity tournaments, outings, and privately
I'm not the biggest golfing fan, I play from time to time. However, you don't have to be a golfing fan to get a kick out of this video.

About Primary Source Media
Primary Source Media, an imprint of Gale, has spent the past 38 years building one of the world's largest microform archives of exclusive primary source materials in subject areas that include the humanities, social sciences and international news. Our purpose has been to provide access to rare, valuable research materials for libraries, scholars, faculty and students.
Our work has grown and diversified since our modest beginnings as Research Publications in 1966. During the years, we have developed a highly regarded array of primary source materials and have published such landmark collections as The Times (London), The Sabin Collection, The Eighteenth Century Collection, Music Manuscripts from the Great English Collections and Nineteenth Century and Twentieth Century Legal Treatises.
In 1973, filming of the prestigious Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature began, while 1974 saw the filming of the influential publication, The Financial Times. As the 1980s dawned, we expanded our horizons further and became part of The Thomson Cor poration, one of the world's leading information and publishing companies. By 1986, we added the Lost Cause Press a publisher specializing in Americana and Harvester Press Microform Publications Ltd., offering an extensive list of British primary source documents.
The decade of the 90s witnessed significant milestones. In 1992, we published in cooperation with the British Library the first unit of the renowned, unprecedented research collection, Incunabula: The Printing Revolution in Europe, 1455-1500. In 1995, as the newly renamed Primary Source Media, we launched acclaimed collections which placed primary sources into full context for research and learning. By 1997, we initiated a major undertaking to digitize selected collections from our microform vault, and in 1998 our first online products were published once again proving our commitment to making our rare and valuable collections more widely accessible to scholars and researchers.
On the eve of the new millennium, Primary Source Media merged with Gale Research and Information Access Company to became part of Gale thus creating a new worldwide leader in information publishing for libraries, academic institutions and corporations.
Recognized and respected throughout the world for the quality and diversity of our collections, Primary Source Microfilm, as we are known today, continues to set the standard for scope, authority and accessibility among microform reference materials. We also believe the future holds many more opportunities. To learn. To grow. And to continue to provide indispensable information, insight and innovation as the world's leading publisher of archival research materials.
Primary Source Media and Gale, Cengage Learning continues to support our current collections in microfilm format. As the digital catalog expands, collections which were previously available only in microfilm may become available in electronic format. Pricing considerations may be available for purchase of these cross-medium products. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Gale Representative.

Mutation analysis of KIF21A gene in a Chinese family with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type I.
Summary of "Mutation analysis of KIF21A gene in a Chinese family with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type I."
To determine the mutation responsible for the congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type I(CFEOM1) in a Chinese family.
Direct sequencing of exons 20 and 21 in the KIF21A gene was performed for the proband. The mutation c.2860C to T in exon 21 was examined by allele specific-PCR (AS-PCR) analysis in other family members. Haplotype analysis was performed using four STR markers (D12S1668, D12S2194, D12S331 and D12S1048).
A heterozygous mutation c.2860C to T in the KIF21A gene was identified in all three affected members with CFEOM1. Haplotype analysis suggested that the mutation might derive from maternal germline mosaicism.
This Chinese family with CFEOM1 may be caused by a c.2860C to T mutation in the KIF21A gene.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Suppression, Genetic
Mutation process that restores the wild-type PHENOTYPE in an organism possessing a mutationally altered GENOTYPE. The second "suppressor" mutation may be on a different gene, on the same gene but located at a distance from the site of the primary mutation, or in extrachromosomal genes (EXTRACHROMOSOMAL INHERITANCE).
Endocardial Fibroelastosis
A condition characterized by the thickening of ENDOCARDIUM due to proliferation of fibrous and elastic tissue, usually in the left ventricle leading to impaired cardiac function (CARDIOMYOPATHY, RESTRICTIVE). It is most commonly seen in young children and rarely in adults. It is often associated with congenital heart anomalies (HEART DEFECTS CONGENITAL;) INFECTION; or gene mutation. Defects in the tafazzin protein, encoded by TAZ gene, result in a form of autosomal dominant familial endocardial fibroelastosis.
Jervell-lange Nielsen Syndrome
A form of long QT syndrome that is associated with congenital deafness. It is characterized by abnormal cardioelectrophysiology involving the VOLTAGE-GATED POTASSIUM CHANNEL. It results from mutation of KCNQ1 gene (Subtype 1 or JLN1) or the KCNE1 gene (Subtype 2 or JLN2).
Romano-ward Syndrome
A form of long QT syndrome that is without congenital deafness. It is caused by mutation of the KCNQ1 gene which encodes a protein in the VOLTAGE-GATED POTASSIUM CHANNEL.
A plant genus of the family RUTACEAE which is used in Chinese medicine (DRUGS, CHINESE HERBAL). Evodiamine and other quinazoline alkaloids (QUINAZOLINES) are obtained from the fruit of E. ruticarpa.

Prize piecework puts three in quilting finals
Emmy Schmidt recalls she couldn't please her mother, a crocheter, so she took up quilting in her teens. And now, at 76, she's working on a wedding quilt for her grandson, Ezra. He's 7.
"By the time he's 27, I'll be 96, and I still have two more of these wedding quilts to do!"
This farmer's wife actually, she's retired from the hothouse tomato business on Darmstadt Road is pretty good at keeping people in stitches.
Until she explains why her Criss Cross Quilt, with 296 different fabrics, 118 different patterns, 15 colors of thread and 2,729 individual pieces representing hundreds of hours of work, has a hot pink block in the center.
"I'm a breast cancer survivor."
The so-called "charm quilt" is one of 412 semifinalists from 47 states and 14 countries vying for top honors in the American Quilters Society's 23rd annual Quilt Show & Contest, from Wednesday through Saturday in Paducah, Ky.
The Paducah Expo Center event is expected to attract more than 35,000 quilters, collectors, vendors and others to a community nicknamed Quilt City USA.
Three other area women also are semifinalists: Carole Hirsch and Karen Hampton, both of Evansville, and Nancy Sterett-Martin of Owensboro, Ky.
Schmidt began piecing the quilt in 2005, not with a contest in mind but to teach herself how to quilt again.
A side effect of chemotherapy (for breast cancer discovered in 2004) caused her to develop severe neuropathy, including pain and stiffness, in her hands and feet. "I kept dropping things, couldn't feel anything for six months. I couldn't quilt or walk."
In July 2005, she began machine piecing the quilt's pattern for a demonstration at the Vanderburgh County Fair, completing the top that Christmas.
In January 2006, she decided to "re-learn how to quilt with my neuropathy fingers. Because my feet were still causing me such pain, I just sat and quilted."
Three months later, the Criss Cross Quilt was completed, not up to her standards but good enough to win a blue ribbon at the 2006 county fair.
Besides the hot pink block, the quilt also has a "humble block." That's in keeping with the idea that "only God is perfect," but she says hers was accidental.
She didn't notice the mispieced 5-inch square until it was too late.
Today, Schmidt says, she's doing fine. The neuropathy is easing, her fingers are almost back to normal and she sometimes walks a mile day.
"I'm a church-lady quilter," she says, referring to her church and its quilting group, the Piecemakers of Salem United Methodist Church.
And the other Evansville honorees?
n Carole Hirsch, an old-fashioned hand quilter, learned the craft at age 5 during quilting bees with her grandmother in Oklahoma. Her entry is "For the Love of Hand Quilting."
"When I can't sleep, I quilt," she laughs, noting she has two lamps over her quilting frame. She frequently repairs people's old family quilts.
n Karen Hampton, an advertising agency co-owner, creates smaller, nature-inspired "art quilts" for walls, with muted, warm tones and haphazard pieces that often reflect leaves or plants. While many quilts are bed size, her arty piece, "Undulations," measures just 43 inches wide by 44 inches long.
Now that she's an executive, quilting has become a creative outlet, including the use of paint and adding embellishments with yarn and ribbon.
"A traditional quilter would get a pattern and sew it together with instructions. I either draw something from scratch, use a photograph or come up with something abstract. I create my own patterns evenings at home."
For information on the AQS Quilt Show & Contest, call (270) 898-7903 or visit www.AmericanQuilter.com
During the show at the city's Expo Center, the nearby Museum of the American Quilters Society at 215 Jefferson St. will extend its hours (starting Sunday), lower admission to $6 and offer several exhibitions on rose quilts and innovative trends.
Hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and April 26, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 27, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 28 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 29. Call (270) 442-8856.

THis is not the easiest beach to find, but worth the trip. If you prefer a gentle beach with no waves, you'll love this spot. There's no amenities, so bring whatever you need.
We stayed for one week in a house right on Winding Bay. Great kayaking in the bay and you can easily access Joseph's Cay and the surrounding waters to snorkel. Great treasure hunting on Joseph's Cay.
We rented a house in Winding Bay-the cove was just like a slice of paradise. the water was clean and clear and shades of blues and green. Snorkeling and kayaking was great off the reef.
We've stayed on most parts of Eleuthera, and this one was the furthest south. We chose Winding Bay because we wanted to be closer to the less explored southern villages and beaches and because we found lovely accommodations at High Tide Villa (there are a few other villas to rent on Winding Bay).
Here is a link on how to...
One of our first stops when we vacation at Tarpum Bay is Winding Bay beach. It's easy to access, has few people on it and leads to more beaches begging to be explored and experienced.
Winding Bay is a lovely place to spend an afternoon soaking in the sunshine and playing in the calm, clear water. Unfortunately, as with many beaches on this incredible island, there is often quite a bit of debris on the shore.
It was peaceful and beautiful. There was no one else on the beach the day we were there. Soft sands! The water was choppy that day, but a storm was rolling in so I', not sure how it looks on a calmer sea day. Worth a visit.
On the way to Sand quarry beach park on right hand side of road and walk into Winding Bay.
if you are near rock sound and you have a car, you can't miss this place. It's a bay with immaculated sand and crystaline water. Ten year ago a hurrican destroyed the ventaclub complex and so this part of the beach is still uncleand and messy. Besides that this remains a great place to visit and to sunbathe because the...
Winding Bay is accessed from the road by the Shell Station on the southern edge of Tarpum Bay. Take the road to the end and make a left at the Y junction. Follow the sand road around to the end. There is a stop on the way if you want to try that instead.

Chiarelli wants Bruins to 'respond' to postseason collapse
|09.18.10 at 1:16 am ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli told both the team and the media Friday that his intention is not for the Bruins to forget the Flyers' incredible comeback from a three-games-to-none defect in the Eastern Conference semifinals. In fact, he wants the team to use it as a reason to avoid complacency and to take the next step.
"One of the things we talked to the group about this morning was not essentially turning the page — this is always going to be in out memory — but building on it," Chiarelli said. "I don't think we are ever going to turn the page on it. We are going to build on it and we are going to respond to it."
The message was well-received by Claude Julien, who noted he wants to make the city proud of their team again, and the players.
"Half of it is not forgetting what happened at the end of the season and half of it's using it as motivation going forward," defenseman Mark Stuart said. "It's a little bit of both."

(Photo courtesy of Boston Herald File) LINCOLN, Neb.-- According to a report from ESPN.com, Nebraska prosecutors are moving to have New England Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard's probation revoked. An arraignment on the revocation motion is scheduled for July 31, according to court records. Last week, the 23-year-old was pulled over in Lincoln early Thursday morning and currently is charged with first-offense drunk driving, refusing a chemical test, and a traffic infraction. This was his second arrest in 15 months, the first being for assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest outside a Lincoln bar on April 21, 2012. He has not served a 30-day jail sentence for the incident yet, and that is scheduled for next March in connection with two years of probation. Football-wise, Dennard is scheduled to report to the Patriots next Thursday, July 25th. The first open practice is Friday July 26. Hopefully, Dennard has learned from his poor-decision making. If not, then he may not be...
