I am considering a vertical antenna (steppir perhaps) for my office. It's only 1 mile from my house and I could have an HF setup there as opposed to my house which has many obstacles (small yard, neighbors, my wife...). On Steppir's website they make a reference to a metal roof being a good ground replacement for radials and a great counterpoise. I'm wondering if anyone has done this before? My warehouse has an old, somewhat rusty galvanized standing seam roof and my office has a corrugated metal roof. I could use either building, but the office makes more sense since it has internet and I can envision remote access etc...
Is this realistic or just advertising? Any reliable way to know if this was going to work?
Thoughts are appreciated,

Unfortunately, this did not (!) change anything regarding Linux. Also the new FX2800M runs constantly at maximum frequency.
Dell has assured me that the do not modify the FX2800M behaviour by some electronics or switches on the cards.
Dell has asked me to perform some more tests under Windows 7 - with the GPU-Z tool. We tested different settings for the power saving options under Win 7.
With the recommended Win 7 "balanced" mode the FX2800M always runs at maximum frequency. Its temperature accordingly rises from 40 degrees Celsius to 58 degrees celsius - without any load - the PC is running practically idle. Disonnecting the power supply leads to a frequency reduction by one step - there it remains constant. This is the behaviour one sees under Linux, too.
However - if you you enable "prolonged akku time" (German: "Erweiterte Akku Betriebsdauer"), i.e. the maximum energy saving option under Win 7 and if you then disconnect the power supply the graphics card then changes it frequency step by step down to 200 MHz. However, it would not do it with the power cable connected.
I have attached the log-files from GPU-Z.
Dell has tried to do the same with an FX3800 on an M6500 and there the frequency changes are as expected - but only after you once activated the maximum power saving option.
Any ideas what the behaviour under Win 7 could mean ?
By the way: Dell is now going to fetch the M6500 to its lab in Halle, Germany, to perform further tests.

Chapter 2 The Pre-Travel Consultation Counseling & Advice for Travelers
Medical Tourism
"Medical tourism" is the term commonly used to describe people traveling outside their home country for medical treatment. Traditionally, international medical travel involved patients from less-developed countries traveling to a medical center in a developed country for treatment that was not available in their home country. In the United States, the term "medical tourism" generally refers to people traveling to less-developed countries for medical care. Medical tourism is a worldwide, multibillion-dollar phenomenon that is expected to grow substantially in the next 5–10 years. However, little reliable epidemiologic data on medical tourism exist. Studies using different definitions and methods have estimated there are 60,000–750,000 medical tourists annually from around the world.
The most common categories of procedures that people pursue during medical tourism trips are cosmetic surgery, dentistry, cardiology (cardiac surgery), and orthopedic surgery. Common destinations include Thailand, Mexico, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica. The type of procedure and the destination need to be considered when reviewing the risk of travel for medical care.
Most medical tourists rely on private companies or "medical concierge" services to identify foreign health care facilities, and they pay for their care out of pocket. Some insurers and large employers have alliances with overseas hospitals to control health care costs, and several major medical schools in the United States have developed joint initiatives with overseas providers, such as the Harvard Medical School Dubai Center, the Johns Hopkins Singapore International Medical Center, and the Duke-National University of Singapore. Whether these joint ventures will increase the number of US citizens who go overseas for health care is unknown.
Travel health providers should advise prospective medical tourists to determine if health care facilities they are considering are accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI). JCI is the international division of the Joint Commission Resources, a US-based, not-for-profit affiliate of the Joint Commission that certifies health care facilities in the United States. As of March 2012, JCI has accredited 368 international hospitals in 46 countries. These can be found at www.jointcommissioninternational.org/JCI-Accredited-Organizations. As more facilities are accredited, more providers will likely offer incentives for their patients to travel overseas for care.
As discussed in Chapter 1, Planning for Healthy Travel: Responsibilities & Resources, patients who elect to travel for medical reasons should consult a travel health provider for advice tailored to individual health needs, preferably ≥4–6 weeks before travel. In addition to other considerations for healthy travel related to their destination, medical tourists should consider the risks associated with surgery and travel, either while being treated or while recovering from treatment. Air pressure in an aircraft is equivalent to the pressure at an altitude of about 6,000–8,000 ft (1,829–2,438 m). Patients should not travel for 10 days after chest or abdominal surgery to avoid risks associated with this change in pressure. Flying and surgery both increase the risk of the development of blood clots and the formation of pulmonary emboli. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons advises people who have had cosmetic procedures of the face, eyelids, or nose, or who have had laser treatments, to wait 7–10 days before flying. Patients are also advised to avoid "vacation" activities such as sunbathing, drinking alcohol, swimming, taking long tours, and engaging in strenuous activities or exercise after surgery. The Aerospace Medical Association has published medical guidelines for airline travel that provide useful information on the risks of travel with certain medical conditions (www.asma.org/asma/media/asma/Travel-Publications/paxguidelines.pdf).
One controversial form of medical tourism is "transplant tourism," which is travel for the purpose of receiving an organ purchased from an unrelated donor for transplant. An estimated 5%–10% of all kidney transplants in 2007 were from commercial living donors or vendors (although most of these were not transplant tourism). In 2004, the World Health Assembly Resolution 57.18 encouraged member countries to "take measures to protect the poorest and vulnerable groups from 'transplant tourism' and the sale of tissues and organs." A meeting in 2008 in Istanbul addressed the issue of transplant tourism and organ trafficking, which resulted in a call for these activities to be prohibited. In view of those events, the World Health Organization revised the Guiding Principles on Human Cell, Tissue and Organ Transplantation and released those revised principles in March 2009. A 2007 report on the international organ trade found that China, the Philippines, and Pakistan were the largest organ-exporting countries. Several studies have indicated potential problems that travelers and clinicians need to be aware of when considering transplantation overseas: the donor and the procedures lacked documentation, most patients received fewer immunosuppressive drugs than is current practice in the United States, and most patients did not receive antibiotic prophylaxis. However, it is not clear if these issues are representative of the issues faced by all patients who travel for transplants.
Box 2-05. Guiding principles on medical tourism1
The American Medical Association advocates that employers, insurance companies, and other entities that facilitate or promote medical care outside the United States adhere to the following principles:
(a) Medical care outside the United States must be voluntary.
(b) Financial incentives to travel outside the United States for medical care should not limit the diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives that are offered to patients, or restrict treatment or referral options.
(c) Patients should be referred for medical care only to institutions that have been accredited by recognized international accrediting bodies (e.g., the Joint Commission International or the International Society for Quality in Health Care).
(d) Prior to travel, local follow-up care should be coordinated and financing should be arranged to ensure continuity of care when patients return from medical care outside the United States.
(e) Coverage for travel outside the United States for medical care must include the costs of necessary follow-up care upon return to the United States.
(f) Patients should be informed of their rights and legal recourse prior to agreeing to travel outside the United States for medical care.
(g) Access to physician licensing and outcome data, as well as facility accreditation and outcomes data, should be arranged for patients seeking medical care outside the United States.
(h) The transfer of patient medical records to and from facilities outside the United States should be consistent with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Action (HIPAA) guidelines.
(i) Patients choosing to travel outside the United States for medical care should be provided with information about the potential risks of combining surgical procedures with long flights and vacation activities.
1 From American Medical Association. New AMA guidelines on medical tourism. Chicago: AMA; 2008. Available from: http://www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/31/medicaltourism.pdf.
Several professional organizations have developed guidelines that include questions useful for travelers when discussing medical or dental care abroad, either with the facility providing the care or with the group facilitating the trip. When considering a trip overseas for medical care, travelers should be aware of the guiding principles developed by the American Medical Association (Box 2-05). For cosmetic surgery, the American Society for Plastic Surgery (ASPS) developed a briefing paper that includes a patient safety checklist (Box 2-06). Similarly, the American Dental Association provides informational documents, including "Traveler's Guide to Safe Dental Care" through the Global Dental Safety Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures (Box 2-07). Although the dental guidelines were not developed for medical tourists, they provide useful information for travelers to consider when selecting a facility or planning a trip for medical or dental care. These 3 guides are targeted for specific groups; however, they provide an indication of the types of questions that people considering travel for medical care should discuss with their regular health care provider. In addition to these guidelines, the European Union is working to establish harmonized standards of care for professional services such as plastic or aesthetic surgery. These standards, released for comment in early 2012, will provide additional guidance for medical tourists in evaluating facilities and services.
Box 2-06. Patient safety checklist for cosmetic surgery1
To help ensure optimal results and to limit risks and complications, the American Society for Plastic Surgery (ASPS) offers the following tips to anyone considering cosmetic surgery in the United States.
Do Your Homework: Research the procedure, the benefits, and the risks. Refer to www.plasticsurgery.org for the latest information on plastic surgery procedures.
Have Realistic Expectations: Ask your plastic surgeon questions about how the surgery will work for you: identify expectations and understand side effects and recovery time.
Be Informed: Talk to patients who have had your procedure so you know what to expect.
Require a Medical Evaluation: Consult with your plastic surgeon for an evaluation and discuss your full medical history to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Choose an ASPS Member Surgeon: Why? ASPS Member Surgeons are qualified, trained, properly certified, experienced in your procedure, and operate only in accredited facilities.
Ask Questions:
- Are you an ASPS Member Surgeon?
- Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
- Do you have hospital privileges to perform this procedure? If so, at which hospitals?
- How many procedures of this type have you performed?
- Am I a good candidate for this procedure? What will be expected of me to get optimal results?
- Where and how will you perform my procedure?
- Is the surgical facility accredited?
- What are the risks involved with my procedure?
- How long a recovery period can I expect, and what kind of help will I need during my recovery?
- Will I need to take time off work? If so, how long?
- How much will my procedure cost? Are financing options available?
- How are complications handled?
1 Excerpt from American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Cosmetic surgery tourism briefing paper. Arlington Heights, IL: American Society of Plastic Surgeons; 2010. Available from: http://www.plasticsurgery.org/News-and-Resources/Briefing-Papers/Cosmetic-Surgery-Tourism.html.
Box 2-07. Patient checklist for obtaining safe dental care during international travel1
Before you leave:
- Visit your dentist for a check-up to reduce the chances you will have a dental emergency.
- See a health care provider to receive any needed vaccinations, medications, and advice related to your travel destination.
When seeking treatment for a dental emergency during your trip:
- Consult hotel staff or the American Embassy or consulate for assistance in finding a dentist.
- If possible, consider recommendations from Americans living in the area or from other trusted sources.
If the answers to any of the asterisked (*) items below are "No," you should have reservations about the office's infection control standards. If the answer to a two-star item (**) is "No," consider making a swift but gracious exit.
When making the appointment, ask:
- Do you use new gloves for each patient?*
- Do you use an autoclave (steam sterilizer) or dry heat oven to sterilize your instruments between patients?**
- Do you sterilize your handpieces (drills)?* (If not, do you disinfect them?)**
- Do you use new needles for each patient?**
- Is sterile (or boiled) water used for surgical procedures?** (In areas where drinking water is unsafe, the water also may cause illness if used for dental treatment.)
Upon arriving at the office, observe the following:
- Is the office clean and neat?
- Do staff wash their hands, with soap, between patients?**
- Do they wear gloves for all procedures?**
- Do they clean and disinfect or use disposable covers on surfaces touched during treatment?

A journey back from amnesia
Local chef forced to create new life and new memories
"It wasn't the same, of course, but it was so sweet," Syrisa said. "He loved me from the beginning and he trusted me, and for me in a relationship that's the most important thing. The other stuff you can build. Or rebuild."
Into the kitchen
People with amnesia need to be reintegrated into their lives gradually so they don't get overwhelmed. Syrisa started taking Kurt back to Kitchen 4140. Five minutes one day, 10 the next, then longer.
For the first six months, he didn't do any cooking. "I just came and sat around, tried to feel like I was doing something," he said. "Mostly I was in the way." But being there also started to feel right to him.
The chefs and line cooks who kept the restaurant alive in his absence gradually took him into the kitchen after closing time and went over the basics. He pulled pots and pans and utensils from their resting spots and put them back so he would know where they are.
During those times when food vendors showed up and he didn't recognize them, his co-workers would come to the walk-in cooler and explain who they were, calming him down.
Before the accident, he'd been compiling recipes for a cookbook, and he turned to those, relearning what he used to make, and how. His staff explained the different flavor combinations he liked, and he devoured those, reloading his arsenal of taste and texture.
"What really fascinated me, he won't remember making a dish or where he was when he created it," said Andy Weiss, a former chef at the restaurant. "He doesn't know. But he'll say 'that tastes right, that looks right.'"
In the beginning, Kurt's knife skills were ragged. He burned himself on the stove like a newbie. But there was something instinctual about what he was doing, how he was feeling. This was his place. He belonged there.
Before too long he was wearing his Executive Chef coat again, standing at the front of the kitchen in his Hugo Boss glasses, plating the food, running the show.
"It's funny how the artistry never left," said Molly Brazell, who with her husband, Chuck, owns a neighboring business on Morena and is a frequent diner at the restaurant.
Getting comfortable in the kitchen aided his recovery. He didn't fret so much about who he used to be. "It just gets too stressful," he said. He started going out more, volunteering again at various charity events. He ran into other chefs he'd known for years and didn't acknowledge them. Some thought he was acting snooty.
Before the annual "Flavors" fundraiser last September, Michele DeMotto, the American Liver Foundation's local vice president, warned the other chefs about Kurt's condition. "Don't be offended if he doesn't recognize you," she said.
It was hard the first time she saw him after the accident and he looked right past her. They'd been friends for 10 years. She's since gone multiple times to his restaurant, and the repetition has enabled Kurt to know who she is again.

Loved "Tap To Pay" on my former Samsung phones. It will be nice to have on the 6.
Apple once again reported to be including NFC, mobile payments in iPhone 6
Apple is once again rumored to be including NFC in its next iPhone, this time with a payment system in tow. Reports of a payment system in the iPhone 6 emerged late last month. The system will reportedly be a central focus of the iPhone 6 reveal, expected September 9.
From Wired:
The company's next iPhone will feature its own payment platform, sources familiar with the matter told WIRED. In fact, that platform will be one of the hallmark features of the device when it's unveiled on September 9. We're told the solution will involve NFC.
Specific details beyond the inclusion of NFC, like how mobile payments will work, for instance, were few and far between. We've heard rumblings about NFC and payment systems on the iPhone fairly regularly over the past few years. Given the amount of noise this year, we could very well see NFC and mobile payments come to the iPhone 6. But just remember, nothing is confirmed until Apple announces it.
Do you want an NFC-based payment system on the iPhone, and what else would you like to see Apple do with NFC? Let us know below in the comments.

Apple once again reported to be including NFC, mobile payments in iPhone 6
I dont know where you shop... but I see "Tap To Pay" at almost every place that takes credit cards. Its been there for quite a while too.
Apple is just a little late to the party. Glad they are adding it finally.
NFC is embraced by every credit card company and is all over the USA. You are a couple of years behind here.
Canadians will love it!
Yeah have tap to pay for Interac on my debit and credit card here in Canada, and I can use it almost everywhere now. Between it and chip and pin, I never use the magnetic strip or sign for credit card transactions.
Surprising both have not taken off more in the USA.

Honestly, it would be nice to have NFC but I really think that there are other better solutions out there. Being in a retail industry and being around many pin pad, I think it would be nice if Apple would instead adapt LOOPPAY's technology. No equipment that needs to be replaced as their technology currently works on every single pin pad where you swipe your card. Just my 2 cents.

Win XP Pro 32. All memory that XP can handle.
I have an object with around 40 shadow domains. I use planar proyection of textures for great part of them.
With a few gizmos there are no problems. But with the most part of them created, ( and saved ) I arrive to a point where I can't continue. Because the creation of a new gizmo, or the change of a previously defined, cause the loose of other different domains previously defined ( and saved ).
I define again this loosed gizmos, and it will happens again.
What is happening ?

Pasko na naman…
Hello, PEPsters!
A blessed Christmas and a stress-free 2010!
Gosh! Time really flies so fast. I remember writing about the holidays just recently. Now, here I am writing another entry about it.
I'm sure you'll all agree with me that December is such a busy month for most of us. Now, to give you an idea on what the word "busy" means to me, check out the highlights of my holidays.
1. I became an official member of Zonta.
Zonta is an international socio-civic organization that aims to uplift the lives of women and children. Na-convince ako ng mommy ko mag-oath taking. In fairness, maganda naman ang projects nila, kaso 'pag puro senior citizen ang member nila, walang gagalaw. So that explains one of the reasons why I became a member, hehe.
Okay naman makasama ang mga senior citizen kasi parati kaming merong 20% discount.
2. I became part of the group that handled the UST Quadricentennial kick-off countdown, which coincided with the yearly Paskuhan.
Pressure kung pressure naman talaga ang event na ito, dahil kabila- kabila ang intrigang kinain ko.Thank God we proved them wrong. Thank God it was a huge success. Thank God for all the people that made the event such a success. Thank God because everyone enjoyed the evening. I simply thank God for my amazing December. Huli man at magaling, aba naman, rumaratsada pa rin.
Here are some photos of the UST December 18 event that drew 50,000 people celebrating the night. There were also a lot of outsiders. FYI. Free po yung event na yun. Wala pong 400 pesos na entrance fee, kontra sa balita. I heard a lot of "oohs" and "aahs" from the crowd and they rang like sweet melody to my ears and warmed my heart. Erased bigla ang tiredness and tension that I had to go through.
The 50,000 people shouted, enjoyed, jumped, and asked for more. Thank God for the successful show.
3. The day after the big event, I went to Iloilo for a show.
Teka, ika-calendar format ko na nga…
December 21: My sister's birthday
December 22: Christmas rush. Buy gifts, Wrap gifts, and Deliver gifts…Check, sino pa ba ang kulang? Ayun, wala pa akong regalo sa PEP staff.
December 24: Hosted the 35th MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival) Parade of Stars at the Luneta Grandstand.
O, di ba?
Pero teka, December 25, aaayyy Pasko nga pala. Sige, may I jump to a Christmassy topic. Nasusundan niyo ba ang random thoughts ko?
Ayan, we are the caroler's favorite. (Read more… )
Count me in, UST! Sali ka?
Did you know that I was supposed to be a Thomasian?
My records were already with UST's College of Communication and Arts, when my friend—who was then an AB Economics student in UP Diliman, itago na lang natin siya sa pangalang Gel Garong-Nunez—told me that there was a course in state U that fits me to a tee, Theater Arts.
Wala namang Theater Arts sa UST noong time ko.
I hurriedly went to UST and begged for my records to be pulled out. Kinuntsaba ko pa na wag sasabihin sa Nanay ko na kinuha ko ang records ko.
Naku, gusto talaga ng mommy ko na sa UST ako mag-aral. Ate ko nag-Fine Arts sa UST. Kuya ko palipat-lipat ng school kaya di pinasok ng mommy ko sa UST at sayang lang daw. My youngest sister graduated in La Salle but is now taking her MBA at UST.
Sobrang close kasi ang mommy ko sa mga Dominican priests. There was a time when my mom was trying to enter our Parish with the charismatic community but couldn't. Parang walang tiwala yung parish priest na Katoliko si mommy. E, kasi nga charismatic community kaya todo kanta, sayaw and all. Our former parish priest then, 28 years ago, had high respect for the Dominican priests. Kaya naman, bilang maabilidad si mother, tambay po siya ng Sto. Domingo office. According kay Taba (endearmenty ko po sa Nanay ko), may I listen daw siya sa mga names ng priest.
Did I mention that she is a Thomasian Pharmacy graduate herself?
Aside from kumuha din siya ng Engineering, Law, and Architecture dun. Ha, bakit? Ewan ko rin. She ended up being a contractor and interior designer.
The first semester of my first year in college was very memorable. My mom thought all the while I was studying in UST. I would leave our house in Quezon City very early because travel time to UST would take more than an hour. The truth was I was only 10 minutes away, kasi nga, I enrolled in UP. I was surely very early in school trying to kill time.
Eventually, my mom found out when I invited her to watch my play Isang Dulang Panaginip. I remember that she watched with a very dear friend, Rev. Fr. Enrico Gonzalez, O.P., who eventually became my sister's godfather in confirmation. He was my angel because he explained to my mom the situation at hand.
I remember that in almost all special events of my life, the Dominicans were present to say mass or simply join the gathering. I even met the Dominican sisters (monks) in Cainta, and gave them a dog to play with. Up to this day, I run to them for prayers. When I entered the industry, my mom spoke to some Dominican priest friends, out of fear of what I might turn out to be. Once again, they told my mom that she has to let me spread my wings and just pray to God for guidance.
I had a show in a far away province with Dominican priests, Inggo. I flew in and had to go through three hours of very rough road. All's well that ends well. The show was good but the bonding after the show with the Dominican priests was a blast.
My wedding was officiated by 12 priests and half of them were Dominicans. When I got separated the Dominicans once again lend an ear to my pain.
FAST FORWARD TODAY. I was given the opportunity and privileged to be part of the team that organizes the Quadricentennial kick-off/Paskuhan 2009. One of our team members is a Thomasian. When we got the project, I was wondering why it landed our lap. While writing this blog, I finally understood why—thanksgiving.
I did some research and learned how rich and global UST is. The title "Royal University" was given 1784 by King Charles of Spain. The "Pontifical University" was declared September 1902 by Pope Leo XIII. The "Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas" tag, being the oldest existing university in Asia and the largest Catholic University in the whole world, is such a feat. Though it's main goal then was to educate and form future priests, now it has a population of 40,000+ with 19 colleges. It is the only university that offers Ecclesiastical courses. UST used to be the ministry of education. Gets mo? Sila mismo ang Ministry of Education. Taray!
Visit the university's museum and you will also be given a peek into the country's heritage/history. UST is older than the Republic of the Philippines.
The UST Main Building withstood wars, eras, and witnessed part sof our history. The university now takes care of a great deal of our heritage in their archives.
I was fortunate to see a copy of the original Noli Me Tangere with the original signature of Dr. Jose Rizal.
We had a shoot in the campus. We spoke to students and professors. I felt the passion and gratitude for UST. I saw their joy and pride as Thomasian. They kept mentioning that UST did not just educate them but deeply inculcated the faith in their hearts.
The university's 3C was repeated to my face by every interviewee. But with its 400 years of existence? No more proof of integrity and credibility is needed to be shown.
It's just so sad that some people are saying mean things about our group. Intriga baga?! Hanggang dito pala sa academe, merong intriga. They questioned why me, a non -Thomasian, was organizing the event. We are a team and one of our team members, Oyee Dirige-Munson, is an alumnus. According to the Q Songwriting contest, as long as a member of your family is a Thomasian, then you can participate. Well, ang dami kong pamilya na taga-UST.
It came to a point that an unidentified person approached the vice-rector and told him that I was living in with Direk GB. Low blow! Masyado po ako maraming pinagdadasal, unang-una na ang gumaling ang anak ko, kaya try ko talagang magpakabait. I am legally annulled and presently fixing my church annulment. All sorts of fictitious stories and derogatory statements have been thrown at me. What do I have to say?
Whoever you are, tama na. Nakakapagod kaya. Can we just all unite and try to make this Quadricentennial kick-off of your alma mater a success?
UST's 400 years is also a celebration of the Filipino education and history. Once again, a priest told me, "Huwag mo na lang pansinin. Hindi importante. Sayang ang oras. Alam mo naman ang katotohanan sa puso mo." Tama nga naman, Let's just celebrate and be grateful that UST reached 400 years. Saan ka man, ano ka man, impossibleng di ka naapektuhan in one way or another ng unibersidad na ito. 400 years?! Unless non-living thing ka then wala kang kwentong UST.
COUNTDOWN.COUNT.ME.IN! 4horas,4dias,400days,400taon.
Thomasians, friends and family, kita-kits tayo sa December 18, 2009, at 7:20 p.m. The event will start with a parade of 400 participants, then Christmas tree lighting, and a lot of flabbergasting production numbers by Thomasian celebrities like Miriam Quiambao, Kim Atienza, Robert Seña, Isay Alvarez, Jamie Rivera, JC Cuadrado, Aicelle Santos, Apple Chui, RJ Jimenez, Beverly Salviejo and many more!
Watch the UST Symphony Orchestra, World Class UST Singers, energetic Salinggawi, and many more local university talents as they showcase their talents.
Free Admission. It is open to the Public. Be there and be counted. Don't miss this historical event. We are counting on you.
Kung may Theater Arts lang sana sa UST, malamang Thomasian ako. Pero bo regrets. Happy din naman ako sa UP. I dearly love both universities.

State Troopers say that this happened just after 1 pm, as Wilson and Erik Holler, 37, of Woodland were southbound near Butte Hill Road. They say Holler slowed to turn, and Wilson attempted to pass. Wilson hit Holler's car in the northbound lane; the impact caused that car to roll onto its top. Kathrine Holler, 35, of Woodland was shaken up in the crash, and was taken to PeaceHealth Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver as a precaution. Wilson was injured, but refused treatment. Erik Holler was unhurt. Wilson was cited and released on the scene.

TOSCA, FAUST and THE BARBER OF SEVILLE Set for Atlanta Opera's 2013-14 Season
The Atlanta Opera, one of the nation's finest regional opera companies enriching lives through the power of opera, yesterday announced its 2013-2014 season. The season opens with Tosca in October 2013, followed by Gounod's Faust in March 2014, and concludes with The Barber of Seville in April and May 2014. All performances will take place at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
Also announced were the 2013-2014 community engagement initiatives, including the High School Opera Institute, the fourth annual 24-Hour Opera Project , a Student Short of the opera Tosca; and the details of the 2013 Atlanta Opera Ball: Puccini's Palazzo, a fundraiser supporting and sustaining the exceptional artistic quality of The Atlanta Opera. The 2013-2014 season will be the first under the helm of the Atlanta Opera's new general director expected to be named in April 2013.
The season leads off with Giacomo Puccini's Tosca (October 5, 8, 11, 13, 2013). A melodramma in three acts created after Victorien Sardou's play La Tosca which debuted in 1900, Tosca is an opera full of lies, lust, and corruption that turn a tale of love into a struggle for survival. Amid the bloodshed of revolutionary Rome, the diva Tosca becomes trapped between her allegiance to her rebel lover, Cavaradossi, and the scheming of a treacherous police chief, Scarpia, who will stop at nothing in his lust for her. Set to Puccini's intensely passionate music, this gripping melodrama is quintessential opera and presents the composer's most varied and interesting soprano role. Tosca will be performed in Italian with projectEd English translations.
Soprano Kara Shay Thomson will be making her debut with The Atlanta Opera as Floria Tosca, a role she has sung more than 75 times. The Cincinnati Enquirer wrote, "... Kara Shay Thomson was the most exciting debut of the season; she projected an alluring presence and a luxuriant lyric voice that remained smooth all the way to her powerhouse top notes." The tenor role of Mario Cavaradossi will be sung by Massimiliano Pisapia in his United States debut. Baritone Mark Delavan performs the role of Baron Scarpia, which he performed previously with The Atlanta Opera in 1997 at The Fox Theatre. Delavan has sung to great acclaim all three roles of Wotan in Wagner's Ring Cycle and will perform the role again this April with The Metropolitan Opera. Delavan has been seen on the Atlanta Opera stage as Amonasro in 2010's Aida and as The Dutchman in 2009's The Flying Dutchman. The conductor of Tosca is the Atlanta Opera's Carl and Sally Gable Music Director Arthur Fagen.
Tomer Zvulun will be returning to The Atlanta Opera as stage director for Tosca. Zvulun has previously directed The Flying Dutchman, The Magic Flute, and, most recently, Lucia di Lammermoor, on the Atlanta Opera stage. The New York Times praised one of his recent operas for its, "witty, fast-paced staging and the director's Felliniesque style."
In March, The Atlanta Opera will present Charles Gounod's Faust (March 8, 11, 14, 16, 2014). Faust is a grand opéra and first premiered in Paris in 1859. Gounod's operatic retelling of the famous legend, loosely based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play of the same name, is a haunting tale of the struggle between good and evil. Set in 16th century in Germany, an elderly scholar sells his soul to the devil Méphistophélès for a chance to seduce the beautiful and innocent Marguerite. This opera has only been produced once before by The Atlanta Opera in 1995. Faust will be performed in French with projectEd English translations.
The title role will be sung by Noah Stewart in his Atlanta Opera debut. The role of Marguerite will be sung by soprano Mary Dunleavy who will appear on the Atlanta Opera stage as Violetta in La traviata on March 2, 5, 8, and 10, 2013 at the Cobb Energy Centre. Dunleavy can be seen singing the role of Marguerite in a scene in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated movie Lincoln. Making his Atlanta Opera debut, Russian bass Alexander Vinogradov performs the role of Méphistophélès. Having created new roles and performed with the major opera houses of the world including The Metropolitan Opera, Robynne Redmon returns to the Atlanta Opera stage as Marthe Schwerlein. Baritone Edward Parks and mezzo-soprano Irene Roberts both make their Atlanta Opera debuts as Valentin and Sièbel, respectively. The Atlanta Opera's Carl and Sally Gable Music Director, Arthur Fagen, will conduct Faust.
Earl Staley designed this production, which was originally staged for Houston Grand Opera by Francesca Zambello.
The season concludes with The Barber of Seville (IL Barbiere di Siviglia) on April 26, 29 and May 2 and 4, 2014. Gioachino Rossini's opera buffa is presented in two acts and takes place in Seville, Spain during the 17th century. Considered one of the funniest in the opera buffa genre, The Barber of Seville tells the story of the wily barber Figaro as he aids Count Almaviva in wooing the radiant maiden, Rosina. With masterful disguises and hilarious antics, romance unfurls right under the nose of an aghast Dr. Bartolo, intent on marrying Rosina himself. The Barber of Seville will be performed in Italian with projectEd English translations.
Mezzo-soprano Emily Fons will join The Atlanta Opera for her role debut as Rosina. Tenor Juan José de León will pursue Rosina as Count Almaviva and baritone Sidney Outlaw will sing the part of Figaro. Both will be welcomed to the Atlanta Opera stage for the first time. Also coming to the Atlanta Opera stage for the first time are Italian Stefano de Peppo who will perform the bass role of Dr. Bartolo and bass-baritone Sam Handley who will be singing Don Basilio. Craig Kier will serve as conductor.
The first community engagement initiative for the 2013-2014 season is the High School Opera Institute (HSOI) training program. The Atlanta Opera will be auditioning high school students in grades 10-12 from throughout Metro Atlanta in early September 2013. Currently in its fourth year, the High School Opera Institute provides focused training for high school students looking to continue music study at the collegiate level. Students attend vocal coachings with High School Opera Institute Music Director Walter Huff; diction and dramatic coachings with Ms. Beverly Blouin and Dr. Stephanie Adrian; a vocal health seminar presented by the Emory Voice Center; and informational workshops focused on selecting a music school and preparing for collegiate auditions. HSOI alumni are now studying at some of the top music schools in the country including Manhattan School of Music, Indiana University, Rice University, and Oberlin Conservatory. Applications for the 2013-2014 HSOI program will be available for download at atlantaopera.org late this spring.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »

Add to shopping bag
Once you've found an item you wish to purchase, select your size and click "add to shopping bag."
Items remain in your shopping bag for the entire time you are actively shopping on the site. Otherwise, your session will time out after 20 minutes. Please be aware that even if an item is in your shopping bag, it can still be bought by another customer until you have completed your order.
Item availability
We continuously update our website and inventory so that it reflects all items available for purchase. Occasionally, however, we may sell out of certain products. If we are out of stock on an item that you've ordered, we will notify you via e-mail and adjust your order and payment.
If an item is out of stock on our website, we are happy to help you find it for purchase from another retailer, if possible. Please open a service ticket here, or call Customer Service so that we can provide stockist information for you.
Some items are available for purchase before they are in stock. When you select one of these items, the product description will display a message with the approximate ship date, for example, ''This item will not ship until --/--/--.'' We consider this a pre-order.
If you would like to place an order for a pre-order item, please add it to your shopping bag and proceed with the checkout process. Your card will be authorized for the full amount of the order, but the charge will only be finalized at the time of shipment. For orders with multiple products, we will ship each item as it becomes available. You will receive an email to confirm that your order has shipped.
Pre-order items are subject to the same return policies as merchandise with immediate availability. A return request must be made within 14 days of receiving the package, and approved returns must be post-marked within 7 days of receiving approval. Please click here for more information on returns.
Wait list
When you see a size option with the words "wait list", this means that we are currently sold out of this size. If you select this option, a re-stock notification form appears. Simply login or register for an account and we will send you an email as soon as stock for that particular item is replenished in your size and available for purchase. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to re-stock any particular item. You will not receive any notice if we are unable to re-stock the style and size selected. Once an item has been marked as "final sale" it is unlikely that the item will be replenished.
Click the "checkout" button when you are finished shopping and you will be directed to sign in to your account. If you do not have an account, you will be instructed to create one in order for us to complete your purchase.
We use industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts all order information you submit through our Website, and we only use the last five digits of your credit card number when confirming an order. Of course, during order processing, we will encrypt and transmit your entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company. We cannot, however, guarantee that our security measures will absolutely prevent unauthorized access to or loss of data.
Loeffler Randall shoes are sized US 5 - 12. The following is a size conversion guideline for Loeffler Randall shoes comparing our US sizes to Italian sizing standards. Any additional sizing information will be noted in the description for each item.

Loeffler Randall footwear and handbags are crafted using the finest leather skins. Each is unique: any incidental tonal variation, marks or veins are natural features, and should not be considered as imperfections. Proper leather care contributes to a long life of beauty. We strongly recommend consulting a leather care professional or cobbler for specific advice and maintenance.
General care for all leathers
Keep leather surface clean and dry using a dry, soft cloth.
Avoid over-exposure to hear or direct lighting.
Protect leather goods from rain and humidity.
If leather should get wet, dab with a soft neutral cloth to absorb the moisture.
When not in use, store your product in a cool, dry place using the Loeffler Randall dust bag provided.
Vachetta leather care
If you choose to treat vachetta leather shoes and boots, we suggest colorless, non-alkaline formulas for vegetable or chrome tanned leathers.
Be aware that leather conditioners sometimes attract dust and dirt. Always use a product formulated for the type of article you intend to treat.
Leather treatments deepen the base color of the leather. Always test treatment products in a concealed area before treating the entire shoe or boot.
Suede care
Suede can be kept fresh with a suede brush that can help to clean superficial dirt and stains.
For deeper stains, consult a leather professional.

great all round shoe
Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
07/06/2015 By Anonymous
I have bought many pairs of these over the years and wont buy anything else. I am a carpenter and use them for work as they are soooo comfortable. They are so very well made that they last a full year on site and cost the same as good work boots. I know that these are not designed for heavy work use but regardless of that fact they really are a great all round shoe and they are wide fitting too.

As of Saturday, July 6, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
PEACHTREE CORNERS -- Karin Slaughter wanted to be a writer ever since she could remember.
After high school, she started to hone her skills and set a goal to have her first book published by the age of 30. And that's exactly what she did, getting her first book, "Blindsighted," published at 29.
On Saturday, Slaughter helped kick off her latest book release in the U.S. at the Barnes & Noble in Peachtree Corners, talking to her fans about her latest book "Unseen."
The event was a part of the Gwinnett County Public Library's "Meet the Author" series in which it hosts authors throughout the year.
"I loved doing research for the book," Slaughter said. "I interviewed a lot of police officers and detectives for the latest book. I started on it about three years ago and learned a lot through my research."
Slaughter said authors like Flannery O'Connor and Stephen King have been her inspiration.
"Stephen King is the best American author in my opinion," she said. "He does great character development and has very likeable characters."
As far as authors who she's most likely to read during free time, Slaughter said she enjoys books by Lee Child, Katherine Harrison and Michael Connelly.
"The main thing is I enjoy to read," Slaughter said. "To be a good author, you have to enjoy reading. Even if you're in the midst of a bad book, you learn how not to write."
Partnering with Barnes & Noble was an added bonus for Slaughter and the Gwinnett County Library. A portion of the book sales from Saturday went to the library, which is something Slaughter is passionate about.
"We also used it to sign kids up for the summer reading program," Denise Auger said. "Not to mention the library makes money and the author gets to meet a big group of her fans, it's a win-win for everyone."

Ms. Slaughter is an excellent writer and her appearances to benefit the libraries are greatly appreciated. If you aren't too squeamish her books are worth the read for the local references to the fictional Grant County, GA and the not so fictional metro Atlanta locales. Having dark themes and a general noir grittiness her books are right up there with Connelly tinged with more than a bit of Southern Gothic.

Can't Taze This
A guy police busted this week in La Crosse might not be unbreakable. But he appears to be Taser-proof. Cops had to chase down 26 year-old Bruce Finch after he threatened to shoot a northside bar owner and then did a drive-by at the bar while cops were posted outside. They say he was Tased by two different cops and given some drive stuns to the leg. All to no effect. Finch faces a list of charges, including one for fighting the cops and one for head-butting the bar owner.
