Product Guides
|The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera sports the popular mirrorless technology that allows for a light and compact body. More than that, however, the OM-D E-M5 is an outstanding camera that provides you with tools like an electronic eye-level viewfinder, a 120fps refresh rate, a tilting 3.0" OLED touchscreen monitor, 16Mp of resolution, and - of course - an ever-expanding array of compatible lens options. All these factors boil down to a camera that's easier to transport than the average DSLR, yet puts multiple creative choices, and numerous other high-end features and functions, at your disposal.
Taking the features of the OM-D EM-5 one at a time, let's begin with the camera's high image quality. Making such stunning 16Mp stills and 1920 x 1080 HD video possible would be the 16Mp Live MOS image sensor and the TruePic IV image processor. The heart of the camera, these two work together with an array of M.ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses for impressive images and movies.
Other features worth mentioning here include Olympus' AF system, which enables fast, accurate images in a variety of situations. Additionally, 9.2 fps high-speed sequential shooting goes a step further to ensure that fast moving subjects are easily captured. The 5-axis image stabilization system also comes into play here, compensating for vertical, horizontal, and rotational camera shake, which conventional 2-axis systems of the past haven't been able to tame. This stabilization is built-in the camera body, and ensures effective stabilization with all lenses.
The high-res, 1.44 million dot LCD has 100% field-of-view coverage and a 1.15x maximum magnification. The EVF also allows for enlarging the focus point for seeing the effect of many different features right in the viewfinder. In addition to this impressive EVF, the camera also has a 3.0" tilting OLED touchscreen monitor, making it the first Olympus camera to have such capabilities. The touchscreen monitor allows for fast menu navigation, and brilliant composition and review of scenes.
The OM-D EM-5 is also a tough camera, featuring a dust-proof and splash-proof design. As Olympus states, "multiple ring-shaped seals protect the camera from sand, dust, rain, and water spray". That means there's no need to fear the elements and as a result, miss the shot. What's more the OM-D extends this feature to the bundled flash unit, the optional grip, the power battery holder, and the optional M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 EZ lens.

Product Information
- Project Runway Fashion Design Sketch Portfolio from Fashion Angels
- Part of the Project Runway brand
- We recommend this product for ages 8 and up
What It Is
Project Runway contestants create outfits for all sorts of crazy challenges, but before they make the garments, the designers sketch them. Fans of the show who want to create their own fashions can sketch out their designs with the Project Runway Fashion Design Sketch Portfolio. It comes with 40 sketch sheets, seven stencil sheets, 10 colored pencils, four pencil grips, a pencil sharpener, and instructions. Pick a drawing page and use one of the removable plastic stencils to trace a shape right onto the blank outlines of the models. Kids can trace dresses, shoes, skirts, tops, pants, and accessories. Then color in the picture with the colored pencils.
Is It Fun?
The Project Runway Fashion Design Sketch Portfolio gives kids the chance to design their own outfits and accessories. Because kids are tracing the clothing and accessories, the results are a little more polished than if kids were drawing freehand, so the creative process can be more satisfying. Kids who are interested in fashion will like how easy it is to draw and design the fashions with this kit.
Who It's For
The Project Runway Fashion Design Sketch Portfolio Set is for ages 8 and up. It will most likely appeal to Project Runway fans and kids who are interested in fashion.
What To Be Aware Of
Fashion Angels Enterprises calls the coloring utensils colored pencils, but they felt more like chalk and colored more like crayons.
The colored pencil grips are meant to make it easier for kids to hold the colored pencils and keep them from getting onto your skin as you work. However, using the grips was awkward, and we still had to wash our hands when we were done.

To me it doesn't matter he should not be pitching opening day...
Volquez has been a professional baseball player long enough to know the ropes. There have been other Latin players in the past who have had "visa problems" to work out. I'm sure he could draw on some of their experiences to help him out, if he wanted to. I suspect there's more to this story than the general public knows. If he's bagging it, maybe some time in Lousville would help with the attitude. The Reds definitely don't need the distraction. I hope I'm wrong.
It has been stated in many articles that the hold up is due to his failed test last year and issues around that.

Go Heels!!!!!
The irresponsibility may be the fault of the Red's Administrative people.
Didn't they predict this potential problem? Could they have planned in advance to make it smoother process?
I don't know why this was a last minute problem.It seems irresponsible to me somewhere.I don't know all the facts,I may completely out of line .If so,I apologize,but I bet it will not happen again.As stated,the responsibility may line within Reds organization.Are visa problems a concern for MLB teams?
Between Volquez and Leake looking beyond terrible (so much so that "it's just spring training" doesn't really fly) and Cueto's injury I'm very concerned about the rotation going into this year. Oh well, only thing left is to see if things turn around when they add the third deck and the results count. But, I'm certainly more worried then I was in mid-February about this teams chances.
i think some people worry to much.

Hehe, I like how you included your self-portrait, aturkone.
If you have time, I'd suggest clarifying your piece. Make the brushstrokes less chaotic, and have the crocodile stand out from the water a little more.
Great piece. You captured the spirit of Pitfall, I think.

The invention provides an improved surgical mask which provides a vapor barrier between the mouth and nostrils which are covered by the mask during the use of the same, and the area proximate the eyes of the user and thus prevents the fogging or clouding of any optical device being used by the user.

United States Patent [191 Raines [451 Sept. 10, 1974 SURGICAL MASK WITH ADHESIVE VAPOR BARRIER [76] Inventor: Herman R. Raines, 32 Henley Rd.,
Overbrook Hills, Pa. 19151 [22] Filed: May 1, 1973 [21] Appl. No.: 356,184

Gaudet Assistant Examiner-Henry J. Recla Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Joseph B. Forman [5 7] ABSTRACT The invention provides an improved surgical mask which provides a vapor barrier between the mouth and nostrils which are covered by the mask during the use of the same, and the area proximate the eyes of the user and thus prevents the fogging or clouding of any optical device being used by the user.
4 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures This invention relates to an improved mask, and
more particularly to an improved surgical mask such as I is utilized by surgeons, physicians, nurses and researchers.
THE PRIOR ART Surgical masks have been known for a long period of time and have been used extensively in hospitals, offices, and research laboratories. Throughout the long period of time, hereinabove referred to, one problem has exixted, and although this problem doesnot necessarily affect every user of the mask herein referred to, it all too often affects the visual ability of the user, and may on occasions lead to dire consequences. The problem referred to is that of the fogging of the optical portion of spectacles worn by a user of the mask.
It is well known that during the exhaling portion of a breathing cycle, the exhaled product emanating from the nose and/or mouth contains moisture or droplets which, if permitted to vent between the mask and the face of a user, proximate the area of the eyes, and more particularly to be deposited upon the optical surfaces of spectacles being worn by the user, can materially obstruct the view of the user.
Prior art surgical masks have failed to provide adequate means for forming a substantially complete barrier against moisture or vapor escape between the face of one wearing the mask and the mask itself, and more particularly at a critical boundary of the mask, below and proximate the eyes of a user. One prior art attempt to solve the problem, which is solved by the present invention, made use of a flexible, but semi-rigid member mounted along one edge of the mask, which member may be deformed to the general contour of the face of a user. The foregoing has failed to solve the problem by failing to provide a substantially complete barrier against breath moisture or vapor escape proximate the critical area proximate the eyes. The failure is due to the semi-rigid nature of the member used, which semirigid nature doesnot permit the edge of the mask to change when the contour of the face changes due to changes in facial expression, such as is brought on during a surgical operation or the like.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally utilizes structures heretofore known in the art, but imparts an improvement to said structures, by imparting to them a capability to provide a substantially complete vapor barrier between the mask structure and the face of auser. The mask structure, in accordance with the invention, is provided with a flexible adhesive member along at least one peripheral border of the mask, the illustrative embodiment being more fully described below.
It is an object of the invention to provide an improved surgical mask, which mask will provide a sub stantially complete moisture barrier between the face of the user thereof and the mask structure, and more particularly, between the mouth and nostrils of the user, and the space proximate the eyes of the user.
It is another object of the invention to provide a new and improved surgical mask which is simple to fabricate and use, and which doesnot materially. increase the cost of said mask.
It is a further object of the invention to provide an improved surgical mask which doesnot interfere with the normal breathing pattern heretofore found by users of surgical masks.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art when reference is had to the specification herein and the drawings to which reference is made.
THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is illustrative of a surgical mask embodying the invention.
FIG. 2 is a view of the surgical mask of FIG. 1, showing a section of the novel portion of the mask peeled back.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 33 of FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to the drawing, and more particularly to FIG. 1, a surgical mask 10 comprises a main body member 12, which main body member is formed of several layers of fine mesh cloth, such as is well known in the art. The main body member 12 has a peripheral border extending along main body sides 14, 16, 18 and 20 respectively. The main body member 12 has extending therefrom, at its upper extremities, a pair of securing means 22 and 24 respectively, and at its lower extremities a pair of securing means 26 and 28 respectively. Along one peripheral border portion, and illustratively that portion coinciding with side 14, a vapor barrier or vapor blocking member 30 is secured to main body member by means well known in the art. One such means, for purposes of illustration, and not by way of limitation, could be the sewing together of the mask body and the vapor blocking member along a common edge. Another means visualized could entail the adherence of the vapor blocking member to the mask body along a side thereof by adhesive means.
The vapor blocking member 30 comprises a base member 32upon which is deposited an adhesive material 34, having the usual desired balance of adhesion, cohesion, stretchiness and elasticity. Such adhesive materials are well known in the art, and may illustratively besimilar to the adhesive material used on surgical tapes. A cover member 36, having a low adhesion factor, overlays the adhesive material 34 and acts to preserve the same. Some suitable materials utilize wax coatings as the low adhesive material.
When a user desires to utilize the mask, the cover member 36 is peeled back from the adhesive and removed. The adhesive material is placed between the eyes of the user and his nostrils across the nose and pressed into contact with the skin to form a tight fit. The tight fit assures the formation of a substantially complete vapor barrier between the mouth and/or nostrils and the space proximate the eyes. the mask is further generally maintained in proper position by appropriately tying securing means 22, 24, 26 and 28 as is well known to users of such masks.
Having described my invention, I intend that the claims made herein be given as broad an interpretation as is consistent with the spirit and scope of the invention.
What is claimed is:
1. An improved surgical mask comprising a main body member of a filtering material having upper,
secured to said main body member.
3. An improved surgical mask as set forth in claim 2 and wherein said adhesive vapor blocking member is disposed between said base member and a cover memher.
4. An improved surgical mask member as set forth in claim 3 and wherein said cover member has a low adhesion factor.

Color Enhancing Shampoos
Does anybody know of a good color enhancing shampoo for bays? Or If I could use a shampoo for blacks on her because she is really dark? I use Mane 'n' Tail right now, but it doesn't give her a dark look, it brings out the spots where she's sun-bleached. Thanks for any help in advance! :D
Eqyss products are very good! they dont have silicone or any other ingredients to dry out the hair! I have a bay/white tobi mare and she looks great!
Not sure where you are, I'm in the UK and this stuff works pretty good - Carr & Day & Martin Gallop Colour Enhancing Shampoo - Bay | Grooming and Care | Gear Reviews | Your Horse
I like Quic Color (Quic Color (Equine - Grooming - Horse Shampoo Conditioner - Color Enhancer)) for my bay.... he's more of a blood bay than dark; it makes the chestnut color much richer, though it doesn't seem to affect his black markings or white star. Once in awhile I'll use the Quic Black (from the same line), too, on just his mane/tail/legs, just to keep them looking neat, but generally I just use Quic Color all over.

By Bernie Becker - 03/31/11 08:00 PM EDT
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the House majority leader, called on Senate Democrats to rule out raising taxes on Thursday, calling that a "terrible move in the current economic environment."
The Hill reported Thursday that Democrats were talking about increasing taxes to help narrow budget deficits and broaden the debate beyond the current focus on non-defense discretionary spending.
In a statement, Cantor said that approach illustrated the Democrats' desire to "keep spending money to support big-government programs and overreach on the backs of American taxpayers."
"It's time for Democrats to do what the American people are doing and tighten the belt, not raise taxes," he added.
The statement came as policymakers are trying to reach a deal on 2011 spending levels, with the government currently only funded through April 8. On Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Republicans and Democrats have yet to agree on how much more federal spending to cut this fiscal year.
Senate Democrats have indicated that the debate over this year's spending has advanced too far to start discussing tax revenue.
But when it comes to the 2012 budget, various Senate Democrats have signaled that they are intrigued by the idea of a surtax on millionaires, rolling back the deduction for charitable donations, and ending tax breaks for the oil-and-gas industry, among other ideas.
Cantor was also not the only House GOP leader to go on the offensive Thursday over taxes. Boehner's office tweeted a link to The Hill story, commenting "Senate Democrats consider proposing job-crushing tax hike" and adding the hashtag "statusquo."

The value of icons lies in their ability to communicate with visitors or users in a more intuitive and effective way. Jakob Nielsen, the maestro of usability, postulated few years ago that "recognition rather than recall" is one of the basic heuristics for user-friendly design. In fact, it's necessary to "minimize the user's memory load by making objects, actions, and options visible. The user should not have to remember information from one part of the dialogue to another. Instructions for use of the system should be visible or easily retrievable whenever appropriate."
Icons are supposed to achieve just that. And this is why it's useful to actually use them both on your desktop and in your web design. They can reduce the complexity of the design and make it easier to get from point A to point B.
In the overview below we present some of the fresh high-quality free icons which you can use for your desktop; we also showcase free professional icon sets, buttons and vector graphics you can use for your web designs. You might know some of them, but hopefully not all of them. Not all listed freebies can be used for commercial projects, however you can use all of them in your private projects of for you personal purposes. Please read the disclaimers carefully before using the icons - they're changing from time to time.
You can also scan through the icons-related articles we've published before:
It's not hard to design a weblog, but it's getting harder when you try to achieve a unique weblog design. It doesn't matter what weblog-engine you are using — frequently used themes tend to become boring over time, and they also don't necessarily reflect the unique identity of the blogger.
To create an original design you need fresh ideas and creative design solutions. However, you don't need to go too far with your design experiments. Basically that's a close attention to finest details which makes a weblog stand out and gives it a fresh flavour and soft touch visitors can recognize immediately.
We've selected more of them — over 30 excellent weblog designs with unusual design approaches; these blogs don't only have a unique voice, but they also pay close attention to the finest design details.
There are more browsers than you are probably aware of. Apart from Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer there is a number of promising alternatives which can improve your flexibility, increase your productivity and enrich your browsing experience.
In fact, there are over 100 existing (although not widely used) browser applications. Most of them make use of the rendering engines Trident (Internet Explorer), Gecko (Mozilla Firefox), WebCore (Safari) and Presto (Opera 7 and above). However, some of them offer large fields for experiments and exploration — e.g. 3D Engines, but also really useful browsers with advanced functionalities such as desktop-tools integration.
Recently we've selected over 20 Win/Mac/Linux-browsers, installed most of them, tested them, compared them and now present the results below. Let's take a closer look at some rather unknown, forgotten, advanced or experimental browsers. What else do we have on the horizon? What should we use? And what might we be willing to use? Apparently, between Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer there is enough room for creative and unusual approaches.

Structure and hierarchy reduce complexity and improve readability. The more organized your articles or web-sites are, the easier it is for users to follow your arguments and get the message you are trying to deliver. On the Web this can be done in a variety of ways.
In body copy headlines and enumerations are usually used to present the information as logically separated data chunks. An alternative solution is pagination, a mechanism which provides users with additional navigation options for browsing through single parts of the given article. Parts of the article are usually referred to by numbers, hints, arrows as well as "previous" and "next"-buttons.
Search engines almost always use pagination; newspapers tend to make use of it for navigation through the parts of rather large articles. And there are situations when pagination is also necessary for weblogs. Additional navigation can simplify the access to some site pages — e.g. make it easier for users to browse through the archives of the site.
In most cases pagination is better than traditional "previous - next" navigation as it offers visitors a more quick and convenient navigation through the site. It's not a must, but a useful nice-to-have-feature.
Let's take a look at the good practices of pagination design as well as some examples of when and how the pagination is usually implemented.Read more...
Since mouse cursor is an essential element of user interaction, designers rarely risk to modify its presentation.

RSS is extremely simple and yet so powerful. Not only does every weblog need it for content syndication; the number of RSS subscribers is a metric for weblog's popularity and its success in the blogosphere. However, although millions do use RSS, hundreds of millions don't. That's no good news, since RSS offers a bunch of advantages that can boost your productivity and improve your information consumption in a quite elegant and easy-to-use way.
In this article we give an overview of what RSS is and present best design and usability-practices for design and placement of RSS-buttons on a web site. We also showcase dozens of free RSS-icons and provide you with references to related tutorials and how-tos.

With Flash you can do more than just displaying videos. You can create stunning visual experience and offer your visitors incredible user interaction. Although Flash is definitely not the favourite medium for usability and accessibility advocates, it has its advantages and it empowers the Web with functionalities which make it an incredibly interactive medium. With Flash designers can achieve results which simply aren't possible with (X)HTML and CSS.
The results can be creative, impressive, beautiful and fascinating. Under two conditions: 1) if designers find the right mixture between graphics, animation, video and sound and 2) if designers follow the guidelines of usability and user interaction.
However, since there is a number of things that can go wrong in Flash, it's easy to get it wrong. In fact, there are thousands of examples where it is the case. In Flash any experiments with navigation and layouts are possible and in most cases it's extremely hard to find a creative yet intuitive approach. Flash is commonly used by designers, agencies, advertisers and interactive web sites, and not on the sites where simplicity and quick access to information are important.
In this post we present 65 examples of outstanding Flash designs with excellent use of graphics, visual elements, interface design and graphics motion. This showcase (mostly) presents "pure" web designs; we've tried to avoid Flash-based games and advertising.Read more...

I came away with no glaring issues about this card from BFG Technologies. After deciding on the memory and core clock frequencies that I was going to run, the card was solid. Certainly the size of the card is atypical in that it takes up the neighboring PCI slot, but that didn't bother me. However, this could very well be a problem for those of you with small
form-factor cases though. In a normal ATX case this double-wide situation won't likely be a problem for most of you. The only PCI slot I use is for my network card so there's plenty of room to spare. The wider plate kept the card seated firmly in my case.
If I had to pick some areas of concern it would be the close proximity of the capacitors and the the memory modules that this card introduces. There are times one has to remove AGP graphics cards in order to swap out memory, but this varies by motherboard. Although it was a tight fit in my system, I didn't have a reason for concern regarding temperature within the case or on the card itself. Both the system and graphics card were stable even following hours of heavy/repeated testing.
There have been some recent claims of a flickering or strobing effect with
the FX 5900 Ultras. I did not experience either of these with this card. The
only thing that came close to this was how the screen will sometimes get a bit
brighter or darker in Windows right before launching a game. I've seen this
(gamma adjusting) effect in the past with other cards so I don't think this is
the problem that others are talking about. To clarify, I experienced no
flickering or strobing during games (or while just in Windows) and I was looking
closely for such anomalies.
As I stated in the introduction of this review, the BFG Asylum GeForce FX 5900 Ultra left me with a mighty fine twitch. In fact, it's the first time since the Voodoo2 that I've experienced such a dramatic jump in performance over previous graphics cards. Even on my somewhat average system. What BFG
states on the box: "TURN IT ALL ON" is dead-on accurate. I made a point to max
out every possible graphical setting in all games tested and in the majority of
cases, this GeForce FX 5900 Ultra card didn't break a sweat until the combination of 1600x1200 and 8X AA was used.
I purposefully gave no attention to the price of GeForce FX 5900 Ultra until this point. If you are serious about spending $500 on a video card, then there's really not much to discuss. Video cards that fall into the value/mid-range markets warrant more discussion regarding price as the competition is much greater at that level. The best-of-the-best market that this card falls into, though, really demotes cost to a lower priority in my opinion.
For example, most people who buy $100,000 vehicles aren't too concerned about the cost. How could they be to be dropping that much money into a (most likely) depreciating asset? So, yes, BFG Asylum GeForce
FX 5900 Ultra is expensive. However, its target audience isn't necessarily the
penny-pinching type. Although, if you are someone who's saved up this amount of
money in hopes of buying a video card that will allow you to play all of the
latest games for the next 18~24 months at the highest levels, then the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra fits that bill.
I had a "bottom line" for the benchmark results so here's my "bottom line"
for this card. The BFG Technologies Asylum GeForce FX 5900 Ultra doesn't have anything to physically set it apart from any of the other FX 5900 Ultras out there. It uses the stock NVIDIA HSF and board and the PCB isn't red, blue, or purple. What it is, though, is a stable piece of hardware that will go toe-to-toe with the competition. The true lifetime warranty and 24/7/365 free technical support are intangible aspects that set BFG apart from most add-in card manufacturers.
Thanks are in order to John Malley, Director, Marketing and PR at BFG Technologies for his quick and thorough responses to my questions. I'd also like to thank those of you that provided initial requests and comments via our forum and e-mail regarding what you would like to see in this review.
I always welcome your feedback, so please feel free to
discuss this review in our forums.

'Fiscal cliff' bill riddled with special tax breaks for select industries
WASHINGTON — The "fiscal cliff" bill that prevented income taxes from rising for most Americans also renewed special tax breaks for a variety of industries, from Hollywood to wind power, in what has become a perennial ritual on Capitol Hill.
The tax breaks, which the Senate included in the legislation that ultimately passed Congress late Tuesday, will end up costing about $100 billion over the next two years.
Some of the largest include the research-and-development tax credit, which will cost $14 billion over the next decade, and another for overseas income through "active financing" at a cost of $11 billion to taxpayers over the next year. Smaller credits include $14 million for mine-safety training and equipment.
A provision costing $222 million gives revenue from rum production in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands back to those territories, which use it to provide large subsidies to the industry. Auto racing and the biodiesel industry also benefited.
These provisions, known as "tax extenders" because most must be extended by Congress every year, help sweeten unpopular deals for lawmakers. It gives them a tangible benefit they can show constituents and provide a boon to lobbyists who charge clients to fight for them year in and year out.
"These are like the cockroaches of the policy world," said Steve Ellis, vice president of the nonpartisan Taxpayers for Common Sense. "You think they're dead and then they come back."
The latest extension was initially approved last summer by the Senate Finance Committee and then sat around for months until the tax breaks were included in the fiscal-cliff package negotiated in the Senate. The measures have broad bipartisan support, but Republicans said Democrats insisted on keeping the entire package passed by the Finance Committee.
"The White House wanted the whole thing," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who represented his party in the deal.
The Obama administration did not respond to a request for comment.
"The bill is not perfect," a Senate Democratic aide said. "There are some provisions that have greater value than others ... They will be reviewed along with the rest of the tax code later this year in comprehensive tax reform."
More than 100 companies and organizations lobbied on the Senate bill, including General Motors, Time Warner and Coca-Cola, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Many of the same tax breaks were attached to the 2008 bank bailout after it was initially rejected in the House, encouraging lawmakers to give their support to the package. The last time many were extended was in a tax bill in 2010.
Often, one lawmaker will champion a particular provision benefiting a local industry. For example, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., pushed for a tax break for electric scooters, getting them put back into the Finance Committee bill after they were removed last summer. The provision, which cost $7 million, simply matches subsidies that already go to electric cars, his office said.
"The incentives should be available to all vehicles, not just the ones that have the best lobbyist," said Keith Chu, a spokesman for Wyden.
Wyden was turned on to the issue by two manufacturers of electric scooters who are based in Oregon, Chu said. When Wyden announced his success in restoring the provision last summer, he issued a news release quoting the chief executive of Brammo. "Right now, companies like Brammo in Oregon are keeping the American electric-vehicle industry on the cutting edge," Wyden said. "But without an extension of this tax credit for the purchase of electric motorcycles, we could be stifling this innovative new industry in its infancy."
The renewable-energy industry made out better than most, with $18 billion from taxpayers over the next two years. Wind power producers in particular did well, extending a tax break worth 2.2 cents on each kilowatt-hour of energy they produce from plants built this year, adding up to about $12 billion from taxpayers over the next decade. The subsidy has support from lawmakers in both parties because it aims to benefit the environment as well as rural areas.
A one-year extension of a special break for owners of auto-racing tracks will cost taxpayers $78 million. An industry executive said the provision, which has been used for decades, just matches the tax treatment given to owners of amusement parks.
"This is private-industry job creation," said Charles Talbert, an executive with the International Speedway. "The industry spends tens of millions of dollars annually and this is all on our nickel."

Phone Smash - OnePlus are walking a dangerous line
This highly controversial contest called Phone Smash involves you destroying your current phone and showing the destruction process in a YouTube video. You apply to OnePlus for a chance to smash your phone up and if chosen, you then destroy it as you described to them in your entry form and if OnePlus are happy with what you have done, you can buy your $1 phone.
The 'acceptable' ways of destroying your phone include using a hammer or baseball bat, a screwdriver, fire, blender or equally destructive tools. You have to be able to prove to OnePlus that your old phone does not work at all. The only phones they are interested in are flagships from the last 18 months or so.
There are a number of problems with this competition.
1. The Environment
This is an environmentally poor competition. Destroying a phone for no good reason is a poor idea when it could be a fully serviceable second hand device for someone. Phone recycling companies would be very happy to take your old phone and sell it on to someone who cannot afford a new high end device.
2. The Danger
It is extremely dangerous to cause physical stress to a lithium ion battery. They can explode when impacted heavily and the products they contain are hazardous. The postal service in the UK will not transport a lithium ion battery that has been modified or damaged in any way, no matter how many stamps you buy.
Shattering a phone has other dangers too. I wouldn't want plastics, glass or metal flying around me, all of which can have very sharp edges. If you choose to destroy your phone with fire, your local fire brigade might have something to say. And we already know if phones will blend, so that isn't even that interesting any more.
3. The Terms and Conditions
Please read the terms and conditions of this competition very very closely. I will quote a few pertinent excerpts here:
If the video submission is deemed acceptable by the OnePlus team, based on the official guidelines, we will send the applicant a code to purchase the OnePlus One for $1.00, tax and extra charges not included.
And what if it is not? Well, they go on to say:
OnePlus reserves the right to disqualify any video submission for any reason, in its sole and absolute discretion. OnePlus is not liable for any damage done to phones that are damaged in disqualified videos.
Oh, I see. So I can destroy my phone and if you are not happy for any reason, I am left with no phone, nothing.
And make sure you don't destroy your phone without OnePlus' permission because:
Applicants who smash their phone and submit a video without explicit acknowledgement of acceptance into the campaign will not receive a purchase code for the OnePlus One.
Of course, you might expect that OnePlus would provide some advice about safety, such as 'wear goggles when smashing your device'. Instead they simply say:
OnePlus is not liable for any damage or injury incurred to the smasher, surrounding persons or any equipment used during the shooting of each smash video.
We here at MoDaCo recommend not smashing your phone and not entering this competition. If you are after a good value phone there are plenty of lightly used devices on offer on lots of phone forum sites and on eBay. The LG G2 is a relatively cheap high end phone and don't forget the king of value, the Moto G.
What do you think about this competition? Are you applying? Is it acceptable for OnePlus to be promoting this kind of activity? Have your say!

Sounds like someone in marketing drank too much think-outside-the-box-juice with this one!
Sound crazy that they think someone would destroy a high end phone from the last 18 months, in order to get a new phone that might well be worth less than the one they destroy!
The recklessness of what they are asking you to do is huge!
I think we will all laugh about this in 6 months time, the company will look a bit silly for a while, and the people that were interested in the phone will buy it regardless.

Not to mention even Oneplus one will be obsolete in 4-5 months, so seriously it isn't an environmental friendly way of discarding your "old" flagship.

Yep, bizarre marketing idea. To be honest One Plus' whole marketing strategy is bizarre in my opinion, they started out very well building a community, building some hype and then delivering what looks to be a solid product. But their whole marketing has been completely stupid in my opinion. No one really wants to have to jump through hoops to buy a phone, especially after a long wait and especially when the competition is so strong and people are used to having products in their hands fairly soon after release.
Obviously they probably wont be able to meet demand initially, in which case why not just release batches until each batch is sold out. The invite thing is stupid as well. Ironically their tagline is 'never settle' so why are we having to settle for some half arsed invites and weird competitions to smash perfectly good phones to get our hands on a One plus one?

Here's a funny one - it turns out that OnePlus are actually wholly owned by Oppo despite the CEO (who is ex of Oppo) having denied this a number of times.
That's the rumour on the internets anyway
I also think this offer is silly, btw
- 0
Mind you, could be a way of getting a very cheap replacement if you have an already knackered phone ;^>

You realise that by posting this "story", you have helped this moronic company propagate this idiotic idea even more, at no charge?
Well done, you're a genius.

Grow Food Crew is transforming lawns
Garden party
On a bright, warm Saturday morning in Ventura, 40 strangers arrived at Jeanne LaRocco's house to help create a sustainable garden.
The Grow Food Party Crew, as they call themselves, dug up the patchy turf in the backyard, shoveled mulch, pulled out weeds, laid out walkways and planted a variety of fruit trees, vegetables and herbs.
"I'm amazed," said LaRocco, who moved into the house at the end of October. "I've always loved the idea of growing food, but the hardest part is getting started. Then I talked to Devin, and he was so keen and enthusiastic and he said he would get me started."
Devin Slavin, an earnest 26-year-old, is the mastermind behind Ventura's Grow Food Party Crew. He describes himself as an ecological designer who embraces the philosophy of "permaculture," a holistic land-use planning system developed in Australia in the 1970s in response to the need to produce food, while conserving energy and water.
"People hire me to integrate nature into their gardens and show them how to live sustainably," he said.
Slavin said he normally does one yard at a time every few weeks, but he decided to put together a bigger event, creating several gardens over the course of one weekend to raise awareness of permaculture.
So a group of people of all ages and walks of life showed up at LaRocco's home last weekend to create her garden.
"Today we're going to do an herb spiral that compresses about 26 linear feet of earth into about a 6-foot wide spiral that goes up vertically, and then we can water it with one sprinkler," he said as he allocated tasks.
"Then we're going to do a veggie garden and some fruit trees, and we're starting to build a food forest with artichokes as the underneath, and strawberries, and the upper canopy is going to be fig, lemon and pomegranate."
Pat Burke, a teacher at Community Day School in Ventura, raised a sweat digging up the topsoil.
"It's been 20 years or so since I had a garden so I am pretty excited about this," he said, as he pushed his shovel into the hard earth. "I love the idea of community here — there are all these people I've never met before, and everybody's smiling."
LaRocco's neighbors John and Beth Cook and their two daughters were intrigued by what was going on.
"The idea of turning unfallowed land that's been this way pretty much since we've known it into something productive and good is great," said John Cook, 45, who designs exercise equipment and grows fruit in his own backyard.
Soon the Cook family was helping out with sharpening tools, providing a wheelbarrow and building an herb garden.
Ventura City Corps, a nonprofit youth development organization for people 12 to 24, partnered with Slavin for the weekend project.
The group's executive director, Jim Mangis, brought along 10 teens who shoveled mulch from the flat bed of a truck.
"I love this idea," said Mangis. "It's the healthy and spiritual side of connecting, especially for the kids who are having a tough time, feeling alienated and isolated. I guarantee that these guys never spend time with adults like this so it's really wonderful."
Slavin, who runs his own business, Abundance in Balance Design, said he became interested in ecological agriculture and sustainable landscapes while a student at Ventura High School.
"I was just surrounded by negativity and all the things that are wrong with the world," he recalled, "and then I ran into permaculture and started to look at finding solutions to the problems."
Brian Coltrin, another Ventura High School graduate who shares Slavin's dedication to permaculture, came from Santa Cruz to help out with the Grow Food Party Crew weekend.
"People want to do meaningful work, you know, and by volunteering in this way, you're connecting yourself to the land and growing food. Anyone can do it," said Coltrin, 33.
Coltrin works on community food-security projects, getting cities and counties to dedicate land to grow food for the local population.
Leticia Sandoval, 31, from Oxnard, said she had never done any gardening before but hoped to educate herself by being part of the crew.
"I really think it's important that we know how to grow our own food and appreciate where it comes from, not just as individuals but as a community coming together," she said.
After finishing work on LaRocco's garden, the volunteers split up into smaller groups and fanned out to work on a number of other sustainable gardens in Ventura and Camarillo.
Environmental consultant Donna Hebert invited them to give a permaculture makeover to a small strip of garden outside her west Ventura condo.
"I'd like to be self-sufficient as far as I can within my urban condo environment," she said. "I'd rather see that space making food than as a lawn."

Stargate Sg1-Season 10 (2006)
Learn more about Stargate Sg1-Season 10:
|No collection is complete without this final, climactic season of the groundbreaking sci-fi series Stargate SG-1. Throughout their service to country and planet, the brave soldiers and scientists of SG-1 have traveled instantaneously to other worlds, investigated ancient mysteries and protected Earth from hostile alien forces. And now, in Season 10, the team, led by Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), embarks on their ultimate adventure. Where will it lead them? Will they succeed?
This five disc collection includes all 20 episodes from The Complete Tenth Season of Stargate SG-1!
"Overall this is a pretty damned good series. Mark Davis, DVD Times
"...an excellent, exciting, and incredibly involving continuation of the blockbuster film. Dan Phelps, DVD Fanatic
"...if you're a fan of sci-fi television, Stargate: SG-1 is one you'll want to have on hand. NeedCoffee.com
"A fascinating fantasy of intergalactic time travel. Newsday
"Rare is the TV show that's actually better than its feature-film inspiration, but Stargate SG-1 easily falls into that category. Scott Weinberg, DVD Clinic
Editor's NoteThis sci-fi series really goes where no one has gone before. Though it's not as ingrained in the public consciousness as STAR TREK and its spin-offs, STARGATE SG-1 outlasted each of the shows in the Gene Roddenberry universe, making it to a landmark ten seasons. Like in the film STARGATE, the SG-1 team uses stargates to travel the universe, exploring the stars as they fight the Goa'uld, the Replicators, and the Ori. In the ninth and tenth season, series regular Richard Dean Anderson (MACGYVER) is only making occasional appearances, but the void is filled by veteran actor Beau Bridges and FARSCAPE alums Ben Browder and Claudia Black. This release includes every episode of the series' tenth season, including fan favorite "200," featuring Anderson and SEX & THE CITY's Willie Garson.

|So, it has finally come to an end. Ten seasons of Stargate SG-1 and it is over. Was the final season any good? Definitely. Perhaps not quite as good as the years when it was at its peak, but it was definitely a cut above the last season or so, which saw the quality suffer as the cast went through some changes....read the full review

|In all honesty, the twenty-one hours that I spent watching 'Stargate: SG-1 Season 10' was the biggest waste of time I have ever encountered. Here are a short list of things I would recommend that you do rather than buy this DVD: read a book, wash your car, wash someone else's car, check out 'Battlestar Galactica', clean out your gutters, or even let your wife teach you how to scrapbook. Yes, I've sunk to the level of endorsing scrapbooking. It's just that bad. ...read the full review

Customer Reviews of Stargate Sg1-Season 10
Final Season of Greatest SciFi Show Ever1/13/2014
There will never be another Stargate. The final season mostly focuses on wrapping up things between the SGC and The Ori. Great final season of the Greatest SciFi Show Ever sees Daniel Jackson taking the reins of SG1, Vala becoming a team member and the re-emergence of Ba'al. Stargate fans rejoice!!!
Great show!!!
Awesome Series2/20/2013
I LOVE Stargate SG-1.
I love the series11/28/2007
I love the show but the item came with the center DVD holders broken. I tried 3 time to contact Buy.com and no one ever contacted me to replace the item. I will think twice about making a bigger purchace than $30
Perfect order for Sci-fi fans9/24/2007
If you are a fan of the series, this is a great way to get the DVDs at a reasonable cost. There were no flaws on the discs and they even came in a space saving mini-box format: the 5 DVD set takes up the place of 1.5 standard DVD boxes. Standard shipping was very fast too. An excellent buy overall.
its not over yet9/24/2007
season 10 was building up to the upcoming the ark of truth, it did leave alot of unanswered questions that have persisted since season 9. Little if any. They did finish some things and expounded on the new enemy threat's. IF the ark of truth movie answers them all it i would feel alot better about season 10.
Sorry to see it end9/12/2007
Even after 10 years Stargate SG-1 is still one of my guilty pleasures. I began watching Stargate SG-1 when it began on Showtime and was happy (because I could stop paying for Showtime) and sad (because I had to fast forward through commercials) when it moved to The Sci-Fi Channel. One of the things I like best about this series is that it looks like it is something that could happen. It's set in the present, doesn't get cheesy and has really great special effects. These last 2 seasons 9 & 10 were not my overall favorites, but 10 did make things interesting after a serious slow down in season 9. Overall I love this series and look forward to watching it over and over.

New Bears coach Marc Trestman will bring coaches from Montreal AlouettesContinue reading.
Trestman continues to pull coaches from Canada
The Bears are still in the process of filling out their coaching staff, and by doing so, new Bears coach Marc Trestman continues to look at Canada.
The Bears named Brendan Nugent and Carson Walch offensive quality control coaches. Both worked with Trestman with the Montreal Alouettes. Nugent spent 2012 in Montreal an assistant on special teams and an offensive quality control coach, while Walch was the Alouettes' receivers coach.
Tim Tibesar, Purdue's defensive coordinator/linebackers coach, was officially named the Bears' linebackers coach. He was Trestman's defensive coordinator in Montreal in 2011. He was Trestman's linebackers coach for two years before that.
The Bears also signed safety Tom Nelson, an Arlington Heights native, to a reserve/future contract. He played at Illinois State. Nelson has played in 24 games with three starts over three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals (2009-10) and Philadelphia Eagles (2011).

The A-10 named Luke Johanns rookie of the week following a stellar Saturday that included two pool records at O'Connor Sports Center.
Feb. 5, 2013
CINCINNATI - Junior Chad Thompson and freshman Luke Johanns each earned Atlantic 10 swimming accolades after helping break pool records at the O'Connor Sports Center in Xavier's meet with Wright State last Saturday.
Thompson was named the A-10 Men's Swimming and Diving Co-Performer of the Week with Fordham's Shintaro Noguchi. A native of Dekalb, Ill., Thompson won both the 400 individual medley (4:09.29) and the 100 back (52.52). He then teamed with Johanns and seniors David Maxwell and Pablo Morejon to break the pool record in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:23.85.
Johanns garnered recognition as the A-10 Men's Swimming and Diving Rookie of the Week. He opened Saturday with a pool record in the 400 medley relay, where he swam anchor to close out the race and set a new top time of 3:26.35 in the event. Johanns added a victory in the 50 free (21.26) before the record setting 200 free relay, completing an undefeated day in the pool.
Xavier has had a strong season in the pool and the Musketeers have now earned five weekly accolades this season. Sam Conchuratt was named men's performer of the week on two separate occasions and Mackenna Rife earned women's rookie of the week honors.

Proponents of same-sex marriage often demand to know how legal recognition of certain homosexual relationships as "marriage" will damage traditional heterosexual marriages. In fact, they frequently address opponents directly: How, they triumphantly ask, will ratifying Bob and Tom's partnership hurt you?
It's a very effective rhetorical approach. But here's one possible answer:
The fact is, of course, that seemingly small historical events — e.g., the rise of the Jesus movement in Palestine, the invention of the stirrup, the development of moveable type, the arrival of the railroad, the GI Bill, the introduction of no-fault divorce, the Islamization of Europe — don't automatically transform everything overnight. But they sometimes can and do fundamentally transform the world.
The law, as is often said, is a teacher. That's why it was so important an objective of the American Civil Rights movement to get non-descrimination legislation enacted. Attitudes toward blacks that were once very common and brazenly open in the American South are now marginalized, and are, at the most uttered privately and with a sense of embarrassment even by most of those who hold them. And far fewer now hold them — largely as a result of changes, including laws and legal decisions, dating from the 1950s and 1960s. So it seems reasonable to ask precisely what, if anything, a given law or set of laws is going to be teaching.
And when the issue is as fundamental as the transformation of what it means to be a family, perhaps at least a little bit of deliberation is in order.
In the meantime, though, evidence continues to surface (and not merely at the IRS) suggesting that some moral, religious, and political positions that dissent from the rising orthodoxy regarding gay marriage and related matters are coming to the potentially coercive attention of the state:
I'm not leveling final judgment; I realize that these are partisan sources. But they raise issues that, I think, merit examination and justify concern.
And here's a great column by Mark Steyn.

Living Loving Life
A little about E.J.: Family is important to me. I love hanging out with my closest friends and family, a good day on the porch with some strong drinks and conversation is the best. I like singing in the shower and dancing in the mirror, neither of which I do well! I laugh at myself (even in my sleep) I love watching scary movies after which I will sleep with a light on. :-D Lets see...I love to cook, my favorite is breakfast. I have a linen fetish, I love fine Italian linens!!! awww the touch, the feel, of long staple cotton!! (you just sang that in your head, didn't you? ;-)) lol I'd rather go sightseeing on vacation rather than shopping and partying (unless I'm in New Orleans of course! hehe) I love old buildings and old people LOL...so much history there. I'm a little country, can be a little fancy at times and maybe goofy (all at the same damn time). That Guy: Someone who is honest at all times, I'm a big girl! I can handle and will always appreciate the truth. I'm looking for someone to make me smile, keep me laughing, show me new things and maybe experience new places. I can be a bit of a homebody, pull me out, I'll try most things once. (Including Match.com!) :-)
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
I would like a Westie someday. I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to waking up early EVERY DAY to take little fluffy outside though.
My favorite movie is Annie, yes Annie but I love scary movies, cooking, painting, bedding and all types of music with the exception of bluegrass and heavy metal. My MP3 player is sooo confused!
For fun, I like to paint. I have a collection of canvases in the closet or hanging on close friends and family walls. Movies, drinks somewhere outside, antique shops are a few ways I spend my free time.
