Ruby Cole Session, whose son was wrongly convicted and prompted her campaign to win landmark legislation in Texas, has died. She was 77.
Session lobbied Gov. Rick Perry to sign the Tim Cole Act, named for her son who was convicted of a 1985 rape and died in prison in 1999. The legislation compensates those who are wrongly convicted and spurred other reforms meant to reverse wrongful imprisonments.
DNA results prompted Perry to pardon Cole in 2010. Another man confessed to the rape of a Texas Tech student.
Session was honored earlier this year in the Texas Senate for her achievements as a criminal justice reformer and "fierce champion of the wrongly accused."
Son Cory Session says his mother died Thursday at her Fort Worth home of an aneurysm.

National Association of Boards of Pharmacy
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy[1] (NABP) is an international association which assists state licensing boards in developing, implementing, and enforcing uniform standards relating to pharmacies. Originating in the United States in 1904, its membership now includes two Australian states and nine Canadian provinces in addition to the fifty federal states of the US, the District of Columbia, and three U.S. territories.
Part of the NABP's work includes standardised tests to aid in licensing, such as the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination and NAPLEX. In addition, in 1999 the NABP developed the Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS) program to accredit online pharmacies. Vet-VIPPS, awarded to online veterinary pharmacies, has been granted to sites including PetMeds, VetCentric,[2] and VetRxDirect.[3] In a 2004 press release the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended VIPPS to consumers as "one method to help minimize the risks of getting bad quality drugs from disreputable sources.
In 2004, the NABP developed the Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributors (VAWD) program to accredit Wholesale Distributors and to help protect the public from the threat of counterfeit drugs.[4]
In 2011, the organization implemented a data exchange that allows authorized pharmacists, law enforcement agents, and regulatory boards to access patient-specific controlled substance prescription information. Known as NABP InterConnect®, the platform provides a single page summary of patient's drug seeking activities across state lines. As of 2013, authorized users in 11 states have accessed data using the system in order to prevent drug abuse and drug diversion.[5]

Katrina with porn movie producer Terry StephensWed, 2012-04-25 10:47 — Bollywannabe
Yes you heard that right. The recent photo of Katrina Kaif in her young days shows Katrina with porn movie producer Terry Stephens. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1093061/.
I am wondering what is she doing with him? Also her sis Isabelle had a porn movie clip leaked some time back which turned out to be a fake one.
Something seems very fishy here.....Thoughts?
Post new comment
hmm......thats r8..
Noh she is nt tht typ of. .grl i luv her so much. .luv u kat n best wishes for ur carear we r alwys with u
apun ko to pahle se pata tha bechaara ranbir kapoor
nonsense!!!!!!!!!!huh@ how do u think so,really she was not at all......love her muuuuah!!!!!!! wishing best for her future@all the best kat!!!!!!we r with u luv u always muuuaah!!!!!!
ha ha Katerina
I am sure katrina kaif is not a pornstar, I bet
i hope kat was pornstar
let anything be the past she is now an actor after all there will be some personal reason behind this how will we feel if any one call us an escort because we also have a photo with porn director.........
Bas photo ke alawa katrina ne ek-do movie bhi banayi hoti, toh bahut acha hota.
All nonsense .
very interesting photograph this one.
i am not belived this
cant say anything about so
its very sad story
Kya baat h
may b it can b true..bcoz if she could ready for her first movie boom(in bikini and doing vulger scene with gulshan and the sexy images so we can believe on it she is like that too.....
First I think all it are nonsense but when I watched the clip of her sister Isabella which confuse my mind...is it true ???........Yesssss......these r common in western culture..
According to Katrina, she was "discovered" at a London fashion show. This is about as genuine as her claims of Indian origin, studying engineering and being only 29 years old.
Katrina looks like in some party. She is caching a plate and talking over phone . Anybody will want to come and get photos clicked with a film star. U dont ask occupation of your fans when they get photos clicked with you. He can be even ezabellas friend .
Wow. Now thats a revelation. But katrina dosnt have anything to do with it . I guess that guy was izabellas boyfriend.who made a clip of hers and circulated it . Izabella is hugging him but its common in uk. U even hug your brothers friends in parties. Without knowing wht there family bussiness is. And katrina isnt even smiling at that guy . He just came from somewere from behind and took the picture.
I must admit that this is one great insight. It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in creating something special and tailored to their needs.
her sister is christine turquotte the same one as people know as cristine turner in those rated movies. and now this picture of katrina with the director????
OMG Katrina with porn???????????
Katrina is not the only one who was escort, there are many other actresses in bollywood who were high society escorts. Abhishek B. dated one of them in his past unknowingly. Jaya B appointed a private detective agency and broke the marriage. why pick Katrina? She is from a very poor family with a single mother and so many half sisters and a brother. What ever she did, she did it between 14 to 18 years of age and not for buying make up, it's only for providing bread to her family. She is not asking you to marry her, she is here to be accepted as an actress and make some money for her family.
You are an insane gawaar Indian. first of all Katrina's mother was a harvard graduate lawyer so no way were they ''poor'' ,and even very Poor in Western countries means 90,000 salary a month which is quite rich in India, a harvard graduate lawyer makes more money in a month then an average Indian does in a year.
who the hell circulated this story that she ''earns'' bread for her family? rubbish, in the west, children leave thier home at 18 and you really think katrina is the only one working and her all other siblings stay together with thier mother and live off of her? It might happen in India but not in the UK,Never. And what asking you to marry her? why would SHE marry an average Indian guy when she is a star? she should be the one making choices here as the guy would be inferior to her, who gives them right to choose HER?
And making some money? really? what do you think she is? a customer care assistant? You do know that even thier lipsticks cost as much as 15,000 Right??
here I Found a picture of her sister Isabelle also with him
There is no difference between Katrina Kaif and Sunny Leone
Katrina has a lot to hide, that is why she is so awkward and always batting her eyes nervously in interviews. Anyway Indian public is so ignorant, even if there is a porn video out there of her, they would refuse to believe it. Katrina was an escort in Dubai and London sorry people it's true. This is how she met the director of Boom and then Salman. She is masquerading as a wholesome decent girl when she has $crewed hundreds of men.
It is wrong.
u guys r mad....y did not wikipedia expose this? Nd the pic is not in a frame but in a glass it can be manupulated by turning or rotating and cut paste!!!
can somebody tell y did not wikipedia exposed this wen it exposes many of the ministers in india???
LOL! Katrina should produce the Bollywood version of "Memoirs of a Call Girl"!
"Are'nt most bollywood films porn?"
Are you serious? Are you one of those scary religious people who think french kissing = porn? lmao
So truth has to ccome out someday.....this woman is fooling around in india...
Yuck KAtrina
life is like a box of choclates, realy its true.I think it was her fortune which took her there and now we are looking in this because her destiny was to be here in bollywood.
Are'nt most bollywood films porn?

This is common. Initially a fresher female actress to rise in the industry they expose. This is glamour industry and nothing is clean here.
she is young and want more that why she here.
hehe. sunny leone of the future
All rubbish. Must research before give any satement for any one.
yes, i agree, she may have bad past. how a girl who does not a single word of hindi acting in bollywood and have so many links here.
No wonder Sunny Leone thinks (and rightly so) that she can make it big...Sad that Bollywood appreciates looks over real talent...
it's true about her being a call girl in the UAE. i live in the UAE and a friend, who's a top manager at a hotel here said she was also with his hotel owner for a while.
You have a very very sexy sexy girl.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 5, 2006 The National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve honored eight Florida employers here yesterday for exceptional support of their military employees.
ESGR, established in 1972, is a Defense Department organization created to provide education, consultation and, if necessary, mediation for employers of National Guard and reserve employees.
"Our Guard and Reserve could not serve without the support of their employers," Thomas F. Hall, assistant secretary of defense for reserve affairs, said. "We thank you for that. Your support is absolutely critical."
The employers received ESGR's Above and Beyond Award during a breakfast held in their honor. Those receiving the awards were: Auto Nation, Broward County Sheriff's Office, Florida Power and Light Company, Harris Corp., Lee Memorial Health Systems, Motorola Radio Products Group, Spirit Airlines Inc., and Wackenhut Corp.
The award is one in a series that recognizes employers who have provided programs and policies that are above what is required by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. USERRA provides re-employment protection and other benefits for veterans and employees who perform military service.
That support is two-fold, Hall said. Tangibly, support can come in the form of providing the difference in pay between a civilian job and military pay. It also can include the continuation of health benefits, which helps families as well.
Intangible support simply "shows that employers value their employees," he said.
Air Force Maj. Gen. Allan R. Poulin, vice commander of Air Force Reserve Command, said he understands what it means to have a supportive employer. He spent 25 years as an airline pilot, which required a lot of flexibility from his civilian employer so he could be ready to serve when called.
"I could not be here today, I could not have done my reserve job without the support, the commitment, the flexibility ... of the airline," he said. "I thank you for the sacrifice and commitment you've made to support our reserve folks because we could not do the job without you."
Reserve troops also depend on support from their families, Army Maj. Gen. Kenneth Herbst, commander of the Army Reserve Medical Command, said.
"You can't be an Army Reserve soldier without knowing that there's the support back home," he said. "So I might make the suggestion that corporately, you recognize not just your employees, but their families."
Herbst suggested companies send letters of thanks to families of deployed reserve-component troops.
After the presentation of the awards, the honorees signed ESGR 5-Star Statements of Support, reinforcing the reason they were selected for their awards. These statements are public demonstrations that an employer is not only in compliance with USERRA laws, but has gone beyond those requirements.
They also serve as confirmation that the employer promotes training for managers and supervisors to effectively manage reserve-component employees, as well as to advocate for those employees and promote the ESGR mission.
"Today, supportive employers are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the nation's National Guard and reserve units," Phil Pope, ESGR deputy executive director, said. "I am asking all Florida employers to review and amended their current human resources policies to ensure compliance with (USERRA)."
One honoree, Lee Memorial Health Systems, also is nominated for another ESGR award. The Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award is the highest recognition for employers for their support of reserve-component employees.
"To be nominated for the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award is an honor that few employers in America can claim," David Bludworth, the Florida ESGR state chairman, said.
Up to 15 employers will be recognized with Freedom Awards later this year.

In describing the cultural and organizational changes, we have avoided details because the legislative and executive branches that have the responsibility and authority to act on the suggestions for change should decide on the details. We have tried to convey the reasoning process that began with an examination of current federal environmental research, proceeded to a description of the desirable characteristics of a program, and concluded with recommended cultural and organizational changes required to achieve the desirable characteristics. We hope that the reasoning will inform the national discussions about how parts of the federal government could be organized to address the aggregate environmental issues facing the nation today. A concluding section of this chapter describes the advantages and disadvantages of the organizational frameworks.
The following are the committee's two chief recommendations:
The cultural changes in the nation's environmental program described below must be implemented if today's and tomorrow's environmental problems are to be addressed. The cultural changes are required, regardless of which organizational structure is decided on.
At a minimum, Framework A (current agency structure with enhancements) should be implemented. If the nation is to make marked improvements in the quality and strength of its environmental research and policy, we urge that the Department of the Environment described in Framework D be established.
The cultural changes we recommend will strengthen the nation's environmental research, correct specific weaknesses, and recognize that research should enlarge our comprehension of and ability to observe the components of the environment, deepen our understanding of how transfers of energy and materials occur among components, and improve our knowledge of the interactions among components. Fundamental advances in knowledge and understanding are needed to grasp and solve urgent environmental problems.
Chapter 4 describes the desirable characteristics of an effective national environmental research program. These desirable characteristics were used by the committee as it defined the necessary cultural changes. Among the most important expectations are a focus on protection, restoration, and management of natural resources as the critical directions for environmental

Gear Review
great lens & goggle
I have nothing bad to say about this goggle. The lens worked amazingly well on my recent trip to Winter Park where we had sun the first day, 10" of snow throughout the second day, and overcast skies during others. I never even had the thought to switch my goggle. I've had some bolle's in the past that would fog up occasionally and the lens was only good in bright light. These just plain work, and as a snowboarder I like the extra field of view the spherical lens contributes. I wear it with my Smith Variant Brim helmet, and couldn't be happier.

This review is from: Solder Paste Glue Dropper Liquid Auto Dispenser Controller for SMD PCB
Pros: It works, after you get more stuff
Cons: Doesn't work off of 110V, You'll have to buy a step up converter to get to 220V. Another con is the air hookup is bigger than the standard 1/4" connector, you'll have to either disassemble the unit to put a 1/4" on it or buy a push to connect fitting or find a 6mm to 1/4" adapter (it comes with a push to connect fitting on the back with a 6mm hose that has a non standard air fitting on it)
Other Thoughts: You will probably want to buy a amic 10cc clear plastic air tubing glue dispenser syringe adapter (we use kester r500 paste). Don't worry about the 50Hz, 60Hz works fine for power

In the decade since the No Child Left Behind Act made "accountability" the buzzword of public education, underperforming schools across the country have endured not-so-private dramas of survival. At the insistence of the government, failing institutions must quickly turn themselves around or close up shop. Saving the School: The True Story of a Principal, a Teacher, a Coach, a Bunch of Kids, and a Year in the Crosshairs of Education Reform (Penguin Press, $25.95) is journalist Michael Brick's account from inside one such institution, John H. Reagan High School, in East Austin.
The book opens in the summer of 2009, when new principal Anabel Garza receives word from the state that she has one year to roll back Reagan's failure rate (62 percent of all Reagan students failed the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills in math). An upbeat administrator in her forties, Garza accepted the principal position against her friends' advice; the school was infamous as the place where one student stabbed another to death in a stairwell. But Garza, whose life was changed by a caring teacher when she became pregnant at sixteen, wanted to save Reagan the way her high school had saved her.
Brick embraces this high-school-as-sanctuary ideal too, fleshing it out by telling the story of Reagan's origins as a place that mixed modern amenities (it was the first air-conditioned school in Austin) and a belief in diversity: "a wild, confused, and conflicted ecosystem of aspiring athletes, musicians, scientists, mathematicians, auto mechanics, doctors, lawyers, janitors, housewives, programmers, criminals, maids, pilots, writers, financiers, nurses, et cetera." But by the time Garza arrived, the school served almost exclusively poor black and Latino families, and the stabbing was its most notable recent accomplishment.
This is the point in a school's downward trajectory where education reformers cast themselves as heroes, valiantly aiming their "crosshairs" at those who allow impoverished children to languish in the classroom. Brick, a former reporter for the New York Times who lives in East Austin, introduces the group as Reagan's antagonists. Reformers, he asserts, are not educators but "profiteers" intent on "selling out" public education by imposing a corporate "reward and punishment system" ill-suited to the task of cultivating minds.
This re-branding will be familiar to anyone steeped in the national education debate. Many of the terms are borrowed directly from education historian Diane Ravitch, a former ally of the reformers who has lately toured the country denouncing their approach. Brick's version of this critique, grounded as it is in the real experiences of a real school, would be a welcome antidote to a debate too often shrouded in propaganda—if only it actually followed from the experiences he recounts.
But Brick provides no evidence of a corporate plot behind the reform push. Yes, a private entity might take over Reagan if the state shut it down, but the school would still be publicly funded, and there would be no guarantee of a profit. The K–12 education marketplace is hardly a gold mine. And some elements of market-style reform have, in fact, delivered better options for children at risk. (Even Ravitch has offered the Houston-founded KIPP charter school network a word of praise.)
Yet the boosterish view of reform, famously espoused in the 2010 documentary Waiting for "Superman," has its blind spots too. Market-style reform has introduced a number of perverse incentives to the system. This is the subject of Brick's most interesting reporting, though he doesn't always seem to recognize the ramifications of what he has found. He describes, for instance, how Garza works to meet the state's goal for the "completion rate," an approximation of the number of students who graduate or get a GED in four years. Garza points out that if students fail to enroll or are absent often enough that she can kick them out, then they won't be counted among the students who are expected to finish. And voilà! Reagan's completion rate rises. "I'm going to run it till somebody stops me and calls me on it," Garza says, explaining her plan to drop students with unexcused absences.
Brick slips that quote in without making it clear that Garza has admitted to engaging in one of the most pernicious pitfalls of education reform. Pushed to meet her numbers, she has chosen to cut loose her weaker charges—those for whom reform was invented in the first place. Garza, for her part, doesn't defend the practice as fair or right; it is simply what she has to do to meet her numbers.
Brick deserves credit for noting Garza's admission, but it's odd that he offers it with so little comment. The difficulty might be that perverse incentives don't fit into his larger frame. They prove the existence not of a conspiracy but of a puzzle—the challenge of encouraging educators to do a good thing (graduate more students) without setting them up to do a bad thing (abandon the weakest). The villain here isn't a profiteer or even

On Guinness World Record Day, Tallest Living Man Still Doesn't Measure Up to Alton Giant
Categories: History
|Sultan Kosen stands 8'1" compared to Robert Wadlow's 8'11".
Kosen, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, is the world's tallest living human at eight-foot-one. But he's not the tallest man ever to have lived. As the Belleville News-Democrat notes this morning, that title still belongs to Alton-native Robert Wadlow.
Wadlow grew to the astonishing height of eight-feet-eleven-inches before his death at age 22 in 1940. Thus Wadlow still has a healthy ten inches on the 27-year-old Kosen. Yeah, take that Turkey!

Of Celtic (Arthurian) origin, a Cornish form of the name of King Arthur's unfaithful Guinevere. At the beginning of the 20th century, the name was merely a Cornish curiosity, but since then it has become enormously popular all over the English-speaking world, partly due to the influence of the film star Jennifer Jones (b. 1919 as Phyllis Isley). Another factor in its rise was probably Bernard Shaw's use of it for the character of Jennifer Dubedat in The Doctor's Dilemma (1905). See also Gaynor. More recent well-known bearers include the American tennis player Jennifer Capriati (b. 1976) and the British comedienne Jennifer Saunders (b. 1958).

Dontae Wright is in his third year as a graduate assistant coach after playing four years at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He will aid the UK defensive staff and help coach the defensive line.
Along with coaching his position, Wright has a lead responsibility in breaking down opponent film, organizing scouting reports, handling "self scout" of UK tendencies, running the scout team, and helping with on-campus recruiting.
Last season with Wright's help, the Cats' starting defensive line of Jeremy Jarmon, Corey Peters, Myron Pryor, and Ventrell Jenkins formed a formidable wall and combined for 34 tackles for loss and 15.5 quarterback sacks. Jarmon and Pryor were named All-SEC while Jenkins was the Most Valuable Player of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
In 2007, Wright assisted the linebackers and saw much success as Wesley Woodyard led the SEC in tackles with 139 stops, earned consensus first-team All-SEC honors and is now with the Denver Broncos. Middle linebackers Braxton Kelley and Micah Johnson combined for 121 tackles, while strongside LBs Johnny Williams and Sam Maxwell combined for 70 tackles.
Wright was a four-year letterman for the RedHawks from 2003-06. He was recruited to Miami as a safety but moved to linebacker during his freshman year. He saw action in 48 games during his collegiate career, earning a starting spot at outside linebacker as a senior. He started in all 12 games in 2006 and finished fourth on the team with 65 tackles, which included 45 solo stops and 20 assisted tackles. His 45 solo stops tied for third on the team.
Wright played on the 2003 Mid-American Conference championship squad that went 13-1 overall, 8-0 in MAC and won the GMAC Bowl by defeating Louisville, 49-28. He also was a special teams contributor on the 2004 Miami squad that won the MAC Eastern Division, went 8-5 overall, 7-1 in the MAC, and appeared in the Independence Bowl. In 2005, he was a reserve linebacker and special teams contributor when the RedHawks went 7-4 overall, 5-3 in the MAC, and finished as MAC East co-champions.
A native of Louisa, Ky., Wright attended Lawrence County High School, where he played both quarterback and safety. He rushed for 1,011 yards, threw for 592 yards, and totaled 2,306 all-purpose yards, helping the Bulldogs compile a 40-10 record during his prep career. He was named 2001 area co-player of the year and was an all-conference, all-area and honorable mention all-state selection after his senior season.
Wright completed his bachelor's degree in physical education at Miami and is working on a master's degree in sport leadership at UK.

The early word regarding Obama's withdrawal plan is in from Afghanistan, and it is predictably unencouraging, if mixed.
The New York Times reports Hamid Karzai welcomes the decision to pull out 30,000 U.S. troops by the end of summer 2012. Take his words with a large heaping of salt. Karzai, like his counterpart in Baghdad, Nouri al Maliki, has always been dismissive, at least in public, of the need for U.S. troops to safeguard his country. He has expressed, at least in public, exaggerated expectations of the ability of his own forces to fight the insurgents. Much of this is simply typical political posturing for domestic consumption: No politician ever lost votes by being nationalistic and anti-foreigner.
But the Times also talked to Afghans in the south who have to live with the consequences of a troop drawdown. They are not as sanguine as the president–who lives behind the large walls of his palace in Kabul and rarely ventures out.
Hajji Kala Khan, a tribal elder from Maiwand: "This drawdown will embolden the morale of the Taliban, and actually it has already emboldened them. The Taliban are saying to the elders not to support Americans or you will be killed, and now they say, 'The Americans are leaving and your lives will not be spared.' "
Niaz Mohammed Sarhadi, the governor of neighboring Zhare District:. "We have a problem in Zhare District, the enemy is still around." Once the Americans leave, he said, "things will get worse." He added that he saw no improvement in the ability of Afghanistan's own military to replace the Americans, "so this is not an appropriate time for withdrawal; this drawdown will send a negative message to civilians."
These elders are right: the drawdown does send a negative message to Afghan civilians and a positive message to the Taliban.

"Give That Photo a Name" Contest: Happy New Year Edition –
Enter Now! Time's Up!
**Oh my lawsie mercy, there are some tremendous entries in this bunch – great job, everyone! Now go digest your black eyed peas, watch a little football, and go to bed. I'm off to pick my toes…and a winner. Happy New Year!
1. Happy New Year!
2. I ran out of Cascade and Joy and I've got a kitchen full of dirty dishes! Let's hear it for planning ahead—woohoo!
3. This photo needs a name:
It shows our new child—and make no mistake, I do mean child—Charlie, doing what he does best: sleeping his canine punk life away. Charlie came to be with our family on Christmas Day, and I estimate that since that time, he's been awake for a total of thirteen minutes. He's the sleepin'est dog I've ever seen. What a waste of a life.
(By the way, did you know that form of speech is very cowboy-specific? As in, "That boy is the talkin'est kid I've ever heard" or "That's the cryin'est baby I've ever known." I love Cowboy Speak.)
To enter this wing-dinger of a contest, leave your suggested photo title in the Comments section of this post. One entry per person, please. No entries after 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Winner will be chosen based on creativity, cleverness, and the ability to christen this very bizarre photo with the most fitting name.
To ring in 2008 in proper fashion, I tried to think of a grand prize that I, myself, would want. I closed my eyes and imagined myself opening a box, looking inside, and being so apoplectic over the gift that my eyelids would flutter and my heart would explode. I searched my consciousness for what single item on earth—other than world peace and an end to all human suffering—would make me feel contented and whole. And what I came up with was this:
A $500 gift card from
Paradise, er, I mean B & H Photo & Video, my most favorite place on earth other than Best Buy and Staples. (I'm not sure why I can't get excited about the "normal girl-places" on in this world, like Victoria's Secret and Sephora, but I am who I am.) B & H is a goldmine, my friends, and the winner of this prize will be able to score some wonderful photographic/electronic items of his/her choice. And B & H has something for everyone: I, for instance, would probably choose a sweet new lens because I'm an addict that way. Another, less rabid, photography enthusiast might opt for a wicked-nice Nikon point-and-shoot, while someone else might choose to score a sweet new computer monitor or new photo-editing software. At B & H, the world is your oyster. And this prize is your pearl.
That made no sense, I realize. But just because it's a new year and all doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to wake up and make sense. You know me better than that.
Good luck!
(Post Script: Go Trojans!)

Best Scanner yet !8/30/2010
Epson may not know how to make a printer that uses compatible cartridges but they sure know how to make a fantastic scanner. The V30 is a great little scanner in every sense. Thanks Epson Rich
Good value for the dollar8/24/2010
My Canoscan 30 took care of me for many years but I really like the Epson V30 on Win7. My needs are moderate: scan to PDF, mostly. On that note, the software lets you keep scanning as it combines the scans into a single PDF. Nice. I have software to do that manually but this is quicker. As to the ABBY OCR package, it, too, does a good job for my needs. Overall: Two thumbs up!
Scans great, control layout poor4/28/2009
I bought this because it opens from the side when it sits on a shelf above my PC. What I didn't know was how the lid opened in relation to the buttons and pwr and USB plug ins. When you turn the scanner sideways the buttons are in the wrong corner due to the way the lid opens. Additionally the pwr and USB plugs connect just to the right of the buttons. This is a poor design and causes the cables to run the length of the scanner. Just not layed out well for my useage. Scans well but doesn't come with a FAX program, you must use that built in to XP/Vista. Interfaces well but is NOT TWAIN compatiable.0 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
I have had a few scanners before, all other brands, but i am super happy with this scanner. I love the way the lid opens, i love the way the software works with Vista. Excellent results when scanning photos its very easy the BEST scanner for the money on the market. There are NO cons in my opinion.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

That's a really good question! Thanks! So, the story goes to the Greek mythology according to which Hermes is an Olympian god and a god of trade also. He is a big trickster, and outwits other gods. Hermes sells one of his "goods" (flying sandals) to Perseus, who is taking part in the Olympic Games and wants to win. BUT one thing that Hermes doesn't tell Perseus is that sandals are not properly working: they are unstoppable. Happy Perseus (who actually wanted to cheat also!) starts his run and only after the finish line realizes that he cannot stop :)
As for the sheep – they are coming out from the rope pullers once you jump on the rope made out of sheep.
Good to hear that you are keep trying :)

How to Sweeten Your Watermelon
Edited by hoolaput, Flickety, Sondra C, TheBev and 6 others
Have you ever tasted a watermelon that's not sweet at all? Follow these simple steps to sweeten your watermelon.
- Sprinkle the salt all around the piece so if you take a bite out of it, it won't taste salty.
- Try using a really good soy sauce instead of salt. Put a little bit in a bowl, cut your watermelon in bite sized pieces and dip a corner in the soy sauce. It adds salt, for sweetness, and an interesting flavor too. Don't use too much, or you will end up with all soy sauce flavor and no watermelon flavor.
- For a real treat use French Grey Sea Salt; take it by the pinch from a salt cellar and slowly salt each piece.
- Most produce departments of good grocery stores will cut a melon or two or three to make sure you get a nice ripe one! All you need to do is ask!
- Make sure you wash the watermelon rind before cutting they are picked directly from the field and then trucked openly usually.
- Try just a pinch slowly getting the right amount by moving the fingers slowly.
- Do not put too much on, or it'll taste salty.
Things You'll Need
- a slice of watermelon
- salt

There is disclosed a device for dispensing a chemical wherein a stack of dry chemical tablets are contained within a receptacle. Sealing means are provided to seal around each tablet and the inner wall of the canister so that only the upper surface of the top tablet is exposed to the circulating water. The tablets are not exposed to the flowing water until the tablets above have been eroded away successively to provide leak paths around them.
1. A chemical dispenser for a pool or spa comprising:
a receptacle receiving a stack of dry, soluble chemical tablets;
coupling means on said receptacle adapted for connection into a water circulation line;
inlet and outlet ducts for introducing water from said coupling means into said receptacle at one end of said receptacle and for returning water from said one end to said coupling means; and
sealing means comprising a plurality of annular seal members, each engaging around and between one of said chemical tablets in said stack thereof and the inner wall of said receptacle to prevent flow of water from said one end of the receptacle past that tablet closest thereto.
2. The chemical dispenser defined by claim 1 wherein said sealing means comprises:
a sealing lip around the top of each of said seal members to engage around said inner wall of the receptacle.
3. The chemical dispenser defined by claim 1 wherein said sealing means comprises:
a stack of collars in said receptacle;
an upper annular lip around each of said collars to engage and seal around said inner wall; and
a lower lip around each of said collars to engage around a tablet.
4. The chemical dispenser defined by claim 1 wherein said sealing means comprises:
a cylindrical cup to receive each chemical tablet in a stack thereof;
an opening through the bottom of said cup;
an outer seal lip around the rim of said cup to engage and seal around said inner wall; and
an inner lip around said opening to engage and seal against a tablet in said cap.
A system commonly employed for introducing chemicals into a circulating water of a pool or a spa involves the provision of a container for compressed tablets of the chemical in dry form through which circulating water is diverted to erode the tablets and carry the chemical down the line in solution. One problem encountered in such chemical dispensers or chlorinators is that, while the chemical content of the water tends to be rather high when the container is first loaded and more tablets are exposed to erosion by the flowing water, the chemical content falls off as fewer and fewer tablets are so exposed.
It is an object of this invention to provide a chemical dispenser for a pool wherein chemicals in tablet form are eroded and dissolved more slowly and for a more extended period of time.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a pool chlorinator wherein chlorine in tablet form is entered into solution at a controlled rate.
Further objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the description to follow, particularly when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
In carrying out this invention, we provide a receptacle or canister wherein a plurality of chemical tablets, e.g. dry chlorine, are stacked. A supply of water is drawn from the pool circulating system, and diverted to enter the canister and flow over the top of the stacked tablets. The water, with some of the chemical in solution, then flows back up to exit and flow down the line. Seal means are provided around the tablets to seal between each tablet and the inner wall of the canister so that only the top tablet is exposed to the water until it has been eroded to the extent that a flow path is eroded around the top tablet to expose the top of the next tablet.
In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a vertical section view of a preferred embodiment of this invention; and
FIG. 2 is a view in perspective of a cup in which a chlorine tablet is contained.
Referring now to the drawing with greater particularity, the pool chlorinator 10 of this invention comprises a cap portion 12 having aligned flow passageways 14 and 16 for connection into the circulation line (not shown) of a swimming pool or spa. Within the cap, the flow passageways taper down in diameter at 18 to form a venturi throat 20 wherein there is a low pressure zone.
Secured to the cap 12 as by threading at 22 is a canister or receptacle 24 of a size to receive a stack of open top cups 26 (FIG. 2). The cannister 24 is sealed off by an O-ring 28 to render it watertight.
Water is drawn off from the inlet flow passageway 18 and delivered to the receptacle 24 through an inlet scoop 30, and then is drawn from the receptacle 24 through the outlet port 32 to the low pressure zone 20, from which it is carried to the downstream passageway 16. As the water circulates through the canister it contacts, erodes and dissolves a quantity of chlorine to carry it downstream with the water in the flow passageway.
In the embodiment shown, each cup 26 contains a chlorine tablet C. Each cup has an outer, inclined lip 34 or flange that engages and seals around the cylindrical receptacle 24, whereby water is prevented from circulating around the stacked cups. A bead 36 around the bottom of each cup 26 is nested into a complementary annular recess 38 around the upper end of the next lower cup. An opening 40 in the bottom of each cup permits flow of water from one cup to the next, but such flow is initially prevented by sealing engagement of a capsule with an annular sealing lip 42 around the opening 40.
In operation, a stack of cups 26, each with a chlorine tablet C, is placed within the receptacle 24 and the receptacle is secured to the cap 12. Then, with water circulating in the flow line 14, 16, the inlet duct 30, facing into the flowing stream, draws off a quantity of water to circulate down over the top of the uppermost tablet C. With the sealing flanges 34 engaging the wall of the canister, and with each tablet sealed on the annular sealed lip 42, the flow of water is restricted to the top tablet C until there has been sufficient erosion to create a leak path past the tablet and through the central opening 40 to contact the next tablet. Hence, erosion of the tablets is greatly retarded, and there is a more even distribution of chemical into the downstream flow.
While this invention has been described in conjunction with a preferred embodiment thereof, it is obvious that modifications and changes therein may be made by those skilled in the art to which it pertains without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, as defined by the claims appended hereto.
