Great all around goggles
By BoulderSkier

Comments about Giro Focus Goggles:
These goggles are great for all around mountain use. The tint works well to cut out glare and give you a good view of the slopes. The tint doesn't work well if you are facing the sun. They also perform well during the last couple runs of the day when the light is low.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Both meaningful House primaries in Georgia will need runoffs to pick Republican nominees. No candidate reached the all-important 50 percent threshold in the new 9th District or the contested 12th District, necessitating another nominating vote on Aug. 21, in three weeks.
In the 12th District, the Associated Press called that state Rep. Lee Anderson advanced to a runoff, with businessman Rick Allen and attorney Wright McLeod battling for the second runoff slot. With 82 percent of precincts reporting, Anderson led with 34 percent while Allen had 26 percent and McLeod had 23 percent.
The eventual GOP primary winner will get to challenge Democratic Rep. John Barrow in the fall. Barrow is among the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents after redistricting, which dropped him in a much more conservative district than before, one that voted 56 percent for John McCain in the 2008 presidential race. Still, Barrow will have another three weeks to insulate himself and build up a sizable campaign account while the Republicans continue their competition.
In the 9th District, a new, safely Republican seat, the AP called that state Rep. Doug Collins advanced to a GOP runoff alongside radio host Martha Zoller. With 80 percent of precincts reporting, Collins has 42 percent and Zoller 41 percent of the vote. That sets up a continuation of the establishment-versus-outsider contest that dominated this primary storyline.

Chia seeds are a great alternative to bread crumb crusts for those on a gluten-free diet. Chia seeds, the highest plant source of omega fatty acids, and salmon ensure this meal is packed with essential fatty acids. Asian greens are rich in vitamins A, C and K, and are a good source of potassium and calcium.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves 4
Gluten – Free
3 tablespoons white chia seeds
3 tablespoons black chia seeds
4 x 6 oz skinless salmon fillets
2 bunches choy sum (1 lb 9–12 oz), washed and trimmed
3 tablespoons sunflower oil
11/4 inch piece ginger, peeled and julienned
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Noodles (see tip) or steamed brown rice, to serve
Tamari dressing
3 tablespoons oyster sauce (see tip)
3 tablespoons tamari (see tip)
11/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
1 teaspoon sugar
1 Combine the white and black chia seeds on a plate. Press each salmon fillet in the chia seeds to evenly coat one side, then set aside.
2 Remove the stems from the choy sum, cut in half if long and reserve. To make the tamari dressing, put all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar.
3 Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Cook the salmon, chia side down, for 2–3 minutes or until golden. Turn and cook for a further 2 minutes (for medium) or until cooked to your liking. Set aside and keep warm.
4 Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the choy sum stems and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes, then add the choy sum leaves and stir-fry for 1 minute more or until almost wilted. Add half the dressing and toss to combine.
5 To serve, divide the choy sum among serving plates, top each with a piece of salmon and drizzle over a little of the remaining dressing. Serve with noodles or steamed rice.
Tip If you want this dish to be gluten free, make sure you use gluten-free noodles, oyster sauce and tamari.

Join Jeff Bartels as he covers the most important features of this industry-standard drafting and design application in AutoCAD 2011 Essential Training. This course begins with a tour of AutoCAD's interface and the tools used to create basic shapes. It then focuses on the methods used to modify and refine geometry while emphasizing accuracy and good habits to build a solid design foundation. The course covers using layers, line types, and colors to organize a drawing file and explains how to efficiently annotate a design and prepare it for final output. Throughout the title, Jeff shares industry techniques used in production and reinforces concepts using practical examples. Exercise files are included with the course.
Now that we have set up our layout and established a paper size, our next goal is to add the title block. Generally speaking, a layout acts just like Model Space. So if I wanted to, I could draft my title block right here on the Layout tab. I could launch the Rectangle command, and I could pick a point here and draw it to here. I can then press my Spacebar to relaunch the command and then let me turn on my running object snaps, I could start my rectangle at this endpoint and draw it to here, and I could slowly start building my title block.
Instead, in an effort to save time, I have already created a drawing that contains my title block geometry. Let's drag that geometry onto this layout. I am going to erase these rectangles, because I don't need these anymore, and then I will move up and launch the Open command. And then I will jump into the chapter_ 15 folder, inside of our Exercise Files directory and I will select this titleblock drawing, and I will click Open. Now that I have two drawings open in my interface, I am going to click the View tab, and then I will come down and click the Titled Vertically button.
This gives me a nice side-by-side view of my files. Let's clean up these views a little. I will start by zooming out and centering my title block geometry in this window, and then I will click to put the focus in this window, and I will pan this over and center my layout. To move this geometry onto my layout, I am going to click to put the focus on the titleblock drawing, and then I will select this geometry, and then I will click-and-hold on a highlighted portion of a line, and I'll drag this into the other file.
Now I will visually center this as well as I can. Alright. I don't need my titleblock drawing anymore, so I will close this. And then I will maximize the other drawing on screen. At this point, my title block looks like its centered fairly well. If necessary, I can always come back later and adjust its locations after I make my first plot. Now that the title block is here, I can zoom in and edit the text to suit my needs. The drawing that I am printing is a HEADLAMP MOUNTING PLATE.
In addition to title blocks, layouts are also a great place to put notes, legends, north arrows, and scale bars. In our next lesson, we'll complete our layout by adding a Viewport and setting our geometry to a measurable scale.

A giro (/ˈdʒaɪəroʊ/, /ˈdʒɪroʊ/, /ˈʒɪroʊ/, /ˈdʒɪəroʊ/, or /ˈʒɪəroʊ/),[1] or giro transfer, is a payment transfer from one bank account to another bank account and instigated by the payer, not the payee.[2] Giros are primarily a European phenomenon; although electronic payment systems such as the Automated Clearing House exist in the United States and Canada, it is not possible to perform third party transfers with them.
In the United Kingdom and in other countries the term giro may refer to a specific system once operated by the post office.[3] In the UK, the giro service was originally known as National Giro. In due course "giro" was adopted by the public and the press as a shorthand term for the girocheque, which was a cheque and not a credit transfer.
The use of both cheques and paper giros is now in decline in many countries[4] in favour of electronic payments, which are thought to be faster, cheaper and safer due to the reduced risk of fraud.
The word "giro" is borrowed from Dutch "giro" and/or German "giro", which are both from Italian "giro" meaning "circulation of money".[5] The Italian term comes via Latin "gyrus" meaning "gyre"[6] from the Greek "gyros" meaning "circle".[7] It often stands for general interbank recurring order.
History and concept[edit]
Giro systems date back at least to Ptolemaic Egypt in the 4th century BC. State granary deposits functioned as an early banking system, in which giro payments were accepted, with a central bank in Alexandria.[8] Giro was a common method of money transfer in early banking.
The first occurrences of book money are not known exactly. The giro system itself can be traced back to the "bancherii" in Northern Italy, especially on the Rialto (a financial center, resembling the modern day Wall Street). Originally these were money changers sitting at their desk ("bancus" = bench) that customers could turn to. They offered an additional service to keep the money and to allow direct transfer from one money store to another by checking the accounts in their storage books. Literally they opened one book, withdrew an amount, opened another book where the amount was added. This handling was naturally a very regional system but it allowed the money to circulate in the books. This led finally to the foundation of the "Banco del Giro" in 1619[9] (in Venetian language, Banco del Ziro) which gave the blueprint for similar banking systems. The usage in German language can be seen in the Banco del Giro founded in Vienna in 1703 (to extend the financing business that Samuel Oppenheimer had brought from Venice in 1670).
Postal giro or postgiro systems have a long history in European financial services. The basic concept is that of a banking system not based on cheques, but rather by direct transfer between accounts. If the accounting office is centralised, then transfers between accounts can happen simultaneously. Money could be paid in or withdrawn from the system at any post office, and later connections to the commercial banking systems were established, often simply by the local bank opening its own postgiro account.
By the middle of the 20th century, most countries in continental Europe had a postal giro service. The first postgiro system was established in Austria on the early 19th century. By the time the British postgiro was conceived, the Dutch postgiro was very well established with virtually every adult having a postgiro account, and very large and well used postgiro operations in most other countries in Europe. Banks also adopted the giro as a method of direct payment from remitter to receiver.
The term "bank" was not used initially to describe the service. The banks' main payment instrument was based on the cheque which has a totally different remittance model than that of a giro.
In the banking model, cheques are written by the remitter and then handed or posted to the payee, who must then visit a bank or post the cheque to his or her bank. The cheque must then be cleared, a complex process by which cheques are sorted once, posted to a central clearing location, sorted again, and then posted back to the paying branch where the cheque is finally checked and then paid.
In the postal giro model, giro transfers are sent through the post by the remitter to the giro centre. On receipt, the transfer is checked and the account transfer takes place. If the transfer is successful, the transfer document is sent to the recipient, together with an updated statement of account being credited. The remitter is also sent an updated statement. In the case of large utilities receiving thousands of transactions per day, statements would be sent electronically and incorporate a reference number uniquely identifying the remittance for reconciliation purposes.
In the United States, the rise of electronic cheque clearing (and debit cards as preferred instruments of payment) has made this difference less important than it once was. In some stores in the United States checks are scanned at the cash register and handed back to the customer, while the funds are withdrawn from the customer's account and deposited in the store's account.
A major distinction between a postal giro model and a banking model which remains is that, in the postal giro model, an individual can directly transfer money into the bank account of another, provided he or she has the recipient's bank routing code and the account number. There is no need for the recipient to approve or acknowledge the transfer, and no need for the recipient to visit the bank to claim it. Consequently, cheques are almost never used in countries with extensive giro networks, such as Germany and the Nordic countries.
Direct deposit systems such as those in common use in North America, by contrast, require the recipient's explicit approval, typically provided by filling out form. It is also not generally possible to transfer funds directly to another, third party bank account without first paying a significant wire transfer fee nor without visiting the bank in person.
Electronic bill payment[edit]
Modern electronic bill payment is similar to the use of giro.
Advantages include:
- Instant access to the funds via an ATM, debit card or cheque card.
- There is no paper cheque that can be lost, stolen, or forgotten.
- Payments made electronically can be less expensive to the payer; typically electronic payments may cost around 25¢ (US) whereas it could cost up to $2 (US) to generate, print and mail a paper cheque. Banks may not even charge for the service at all; for example banks in the European Union charge nothing for electronic payments inside the SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area), provided the proper BIC and IBAN account numbers are used.
In the United States, the Automated Clearing House (ACH), regulated by NACHA and the Federal Reserve Bank, handles all interbank transfers, including direct deposit and direct debit.
In entirely electronic bill payment, the payer receives a bill — either physically by mail or electronically from a website (electronic billing). Then, the payer reads in the information from the bill, either manually or by using the barcode on the bill, enters it to the form on the bank website, and submits the form. The payment is immediately deducted from the account balance.
Cultural significance[edit]
Before the use of electronic transfers of payments became the norm in the United Kingdom the fortnightly "giro" payment was the normal way of distributing benefit payments. When unemployment peaked in the 1980s, large numbers of people would receive their benefit payment on the same day leading the concept of Giro Day, marked by the settlement of small debts and a noticeable increase in drinking, partying, and festive activities. It is the focus of the 1996 film Waiting for Giro.[10][11]

I have a need to create the DAL & BLL for my project. I used the BusinessObjectTemplate PLINQO=> (Database -> Other ->CSharp ->BusinessObject ) to create the BLL
I need to create the DAL. I need a template that create something like the following: Can you suggest a template?
[DataObject(true)]public static class CategoryDB{ private static string GetConnectionString() { return ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings ["HalloweenConnectionString"].ConnectionString; }
[DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Insert)] public static int InsertCategory(Category category) { SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(GetConnectionString()); string ins = "INSERT INTO Categories " + " (CategoryID, ShortName, LongName) " + " VALUES(@CategoryID, @ShortName, @LongName)"; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(ins, con); cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("CategoryID", category.CategoryID); con.Open(); int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); con.Close(); return i; }
[DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Delete)] public static int DeleteCategory(Category category) { ............. }
[DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Update)] public static int UpdateCategory(Category original_Category, Category category) { ............... }
The Business Logic and Data Access Layer Logic is placed in partial classed DependentUpon files in Visual Studio. If you expand the class file node in the generated CSLA Project Solution Explorer window you will find the code.
To generate the code you are looking for, you would need to write a custom template (docs.codesmithtools.com/.../Writing+Your+First+Template) or use the following:
You could also use the stored procedure templates and command wrapper templates (both of which are located in the Database Sub Folder of Template Explorer) and fill your generated objects by using the strongly typed generated (stored procedure) wrappers.

Blog: http://windowscoding.com/blogs/blake/
.NetTiers team | Visit http://www.nettiers.net
I'd recommend using one of our framework templates( www.codesmithtools.com/.../frameworks) like CSLA, PLINQO (Ling-to-SQL, nHibernate or EF), .netTiers. .netTiers and the CSLA templates will actually split your DAL and Business layers into two seperate projects while the PLINQO templates will place the two layers in the same project. I'd recommend using a template framework as it does all the work for you using the best practices like parameterized sql/stored procedures.
If you don't wish to go this route, you could also use the stored procedure templates and command wrapper templates and fill your generated objects by using the strongly typed generated (stored procedure) wrappers.
I tried all the Frameworks that you are suggesting, Some for ex: CSLA did not even generate any code other than creating a .cs file with a class name.
Hence I am asking which of the templates resembles the code that I have requested for, so I will run the template individually on each table.

Pat's Personal Portraits: The life of a movie critic
For most of us, movies are a chance to get away from our lives, to be transported to a different world for a few hours or just a way to escape some sweltering summer temperatures.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a movie critic and call heading to the local theater "work?"
I sat down with David Ramsey, President of the Phoenix Film Critics Society. I've always wanted to know if it's possible to get past the bias if you know going into the movie that you won't like it.
It sounds like the time to be a movie critic is around award season because that's when they get all the free stuff!

Any activity that moves equipment or water from one area to another can potentially spread aquatic invasive species. Some potential pathways of concern include fire fighting, water hauling, construction activities, and even sea planes.
You can STOP THE SPREAD by following these three easy steps after using any equipment in a water:
1. DRAIN all water from your equipment.
2. CLEAN all mud, plants and debris from equipment.
3. DRY equipment thoroughly before using it in another water. Avoid transfer of water between watersheds whenever possible.
The U.S. Forest Service has recently published guidelines to reduce the spread of AIS through fire fighting activities.

Vinyl Resurgence Thread

Re: Vinyl Resurgence Thread
There's a reason things go away. I worked with a man who in the 60s and 70s was the guy who owned one of the first Moog synthesizers and wrote the very famous "Main St. Electrical Parade" music, and we were talking about the future of recorded music once and he surprised me when he said "Why would you want to go back to listening to music that way?" Les Paul was even said to tell a group of engineers at an Audio Engineering Society convention (and I paraphrase) "With all those bald heads out there, you'd think you'd come up with a better way to play music than to gouge a piece of vinyl with a diamond needle, or running rust-covered mylar over a pristine magnetic head".
Even in photography, film has died. And even before film died, people made photographs on glass plates, used all kinds of even more dangerous chemicals, etc.,....and all those processes are dead and gone.
I have tons of records from when I was a kid, and my favorites have now all become CD's. I agree I think its pretentious rubbish to only release your new album on vinyl, as you'd be cutting yourself off from potential sales online via places like iTunes.
This, like photography's seeming resurgence in film processes, will quickly die away too. Nobody really has the time to dedicate to it. I used to make cassette tapes of my albums so I can play it in the car - you really think anybody has the time to go back to doing that when they buy an album? Especially after they already know how quick it can be done when purchased digitally? I doubt it.

I'd love to see them get Schwartz or somebody else with a solid background in defense.
I'll be miffed if they go QB with the 1st pick. They should be going defense with everything unless they have the opportunity to get a stud Lineman, like Smith from Alabama.
The Lions will likely be stuck with the #1 overall. Nobody will trade up for it.
If they go defense, the highest rated defensive player on the board right now appears to be MLB Curry from Wake Forest.
I say if you're not going to take Smith #1 overall, take Curry. So what if it's a reach. If he's a stud in 5 years, nobody will care.
Save drafting a young QB until we have a foundation.
I wouldn't mind seeing them grab Tebow if he's available in the later rounds. If they ever installed a wild cat formation, he'd be perfect for running it.
The national media is just grasping at straws when it comes to the Lions.
Peter King announced that Jason Garrett was the likely candidate for head coach of the Lions THE DAY that Garrett withdrew his name from consideration BEFORE even interviewing.
These guys are just taking stabs in the dark. They don't have any real leads. If they do they'd be mentioning it.
"my only question that bothers me is why don't we hear about the other teams with openings knocking down his door"
I've heard that Shwartz and Spag are the 2 most coveted assistants out there right now and almost definitely will be head coaches somewhere next season.
There's a lot of guys that they are interviewing that I like: Schwartz, Spag, Frazier, Bowles, - I'd be happy with any of those guys.
What we DON'T need is another pass happy offense. Hell, after 8 years of Morninweg, Mariucci and Martz, none of our Offensive Linemen knew how to run block!!
It doesn't matter who the QB of the Lions is, until they fix the foundation of the lines.
This offseason should be ALL about Offensive Line & Defensive front 7.
Draft OL with the first pick.
A QB can wait. Draft a rookie this year and play him right away and he's likely to be ruined.
IF kickers made the hall of fame, Hanson would be a no brainer, but they just don't.
Only 1 place kicker ever made it and NO punter ever made it. Not even Ray Guy.
You think if Bob Sanders or Troy Polamalu were taken with the first pick overall that Colts and Steelers fans would be b*tching about it right now?
They can't worry about what people will think NOW, they have to think about what the guy is going to be in 3 or 4 years.
That being said, I think they should concentrate on either Oline or Linebacker with the first pick overall.
I agree with Killer though when he says that they are going to pick 3 or 4 guys they really like and will start negotiating with them and whoever they get the best deal from, that's who they'll take. I'm hoping for Smith from Alabama and then go Defense the rest of the way.
I for one am curious as to where he ends up.
I'm just so freakin' glad that the MILLEN ERA IS OVER!
We made it through it folks....we made it through it!
Their current logo is COOL! It's one of the reasons I became a Lions fan as a kid, because it's THE coolest logo in the NFL.
And it's leaping, like right before it kills something! How the hell is that not aggressive?
I'm SOOO glad Carolina Panthers rip off black unis are gone. GOOD RIDDANCE!
Word is that the minor change is that all the black piping is going to be axed. Even heard a rumor that they'll just go back to the unis the way they were BEFORE Millen got here. Which I personally would love!
The Lions will NOT draft Stafford.
These draft "experts" don't know the Lions. They see bad team with no QB and just assume they will take a QB #1 overall. It won't happen. They'll go Defense or O-Line.
Because if they were in love with Stafford, they wouldn't be trying to trade for a QB of the future elsewhere.
Simple as that.
Funny stuff!
It's only been 2 freakin days!
Good signing! We can't get enough CB's right now! The more the merrier!
As for the uni rumor, c'mon. That's just fan art.
The Lions will not be changing from honolulu blue, or changing the logo. The changes will be minor. MY guess is that they are going to do away with the black that Millen introduced. I mean they scrapped those horrible Carolina Panther black jerseys the secone moron Millen was out the door.
First of all Honolulu blue KICKS BUTT!!!
Secondly, the leaping lion KICKS BUTT!!!
It's the coolest looking colors and logo in the NFL period!
And to hell with the darker blue nonsense. Why do so many people want darker crap? 95 percent of the nfl teams have switched to a darker color and most of them look AWFUL and they're starting to all look the same!
And stop trying to make a mountain out of a moe hill! Lewand already said that the logo IS NOT changing and the colors are NOT changing and that the alterations to the uniform will be minor.
The Lions have THE BEST colors in the NFL! THE BEST! If you hate the colors, go root for the raiders or the panthers or some other ugly black jersey team.
They'll probably draft Stafford, BUT he is not going to play this year. Maybe a little here in there in mop up situations, but he will pretty much be red-shirted this year with the hopes of him starting next year. But I think he'll wind up being every bit as good, and probably better than Cutler.
After Stafford, they need to address the Middle Linebacker position and get bigger on O-Line.
This can all be accomplished, even with drafting Stafford #1 as I think they will.
I think who they take #1a depends on which of those 4 guys they can sign prior to the draft.
1b. I think will be Laurinitus: They need a good MLB who can start from day 1. Rey won't be there at 20 and Laurinitus won't be there at 33. Take Laurinitus at #20.
In case anyone doesn't know, Mayock is a USC lover and has had a "woody" for anyone and anything USC all year. Not a shock that he's pumping up Sanchez. He's a USC lover.
Laurinitis will be there at #20, and will be a solid MLB. You have to take Monroe or Stafford at #1, I think. Then you take Laurinitis at #20 and then a DT or OG/C at #33.

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie unveiled a $34.4 billion budget proposal Tuesday that includes a $2.25 billion payment into the state's public employee pension system, but not an income tax cut the Republican governor has pushed for the last two years.
The proposed budget is for the 2015 fiscal year, which begins July 1 and runs through July 30, 2015. And while it seeks to increase state spending to an all-time high, Christie stressed that nearly all of the 3.5 percent increase was to cover rising debt service and health costs as well as the huge pension payment.

An improved extraction method to increase DNA yield from molted feathers
Bayard De Volo, Shelley; Reynolds, Richard T.; Douglas, Marlis R.; Antolin, Michael F. 2008. An improved extraction method to increase DNA yield from molted feathers. The Condor. 110(4): 762-767.
To assess the value of molted feathers as a noninvasive source of DNA for genetic studies of Northern Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis), we isolated and quantified DNA from molted feathers and compared yields across five feather types. We also compared PCR success across the same five feather types using five microsatellite genetic markers of varying size. In addition, we compared DNA yields from a commonly used extraction method versus one we modified to increase DNA yield. Results indicated molted feathers provided on average 24 ng μl-1 of DNA, which is a relatively high DNA yield compared to other noninvasive tissue sources. Tail feathers yielded significantly more DNA than primary, secondary, and smaller feathers, yet all feather sizes produced equally high rates of PCR success. Although our modified extraction method increased the time required for processing feathers, it resulted in significantly higher yields of DNA as compared to the unmodified protocol.

Service Learning
Service learning seeks to integrate meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility and strengthen communities. Students Erin Gugino and Megan Malinowski volunteered at Little Portion Friary, a shelter for homeless men and women.
Students at Trocaire who choose to do service learning perform a designated number of hours of service at sites approved by Pam Jablonicky, Coordinator of Service Learning.
Students receive information on the program in their classrooms and are then required to make arrangements with the manager at the site they choose for service. They then complete a service learning contract and return it to the Office in room 302 at the main campus.
Each time students perform service, they request the manager/supervisor to sign off on their hours on their service verification form which they return to room 302 at the end of the semester.
Students are encouraged to reflect on their experience, write a report on their service experience, or share with class members in some other way.
Trocaire College is a member of the Western New York Service Learning Coalition (WNYSLC), a collaboration of colleges, universities and community organizations that work together to strengthen campus-community partnerships and promote student engagement in the community.
For further information on service learning, contact Pam Jablonicky at 716.827.2543

The millions of photographs in the Museum's collections compose a vast mosaic of the nation's history. Photographs accompany most artifact collections. Thousands of images document engineering projects, for example, and more record the steel, petroleum, and railroad industries.
Some 150,000 images capture the history, art, and science of photography. Nineteenth-century photography, from its initial development by W. H. F. Talbot and Louis Daguerre, is especially well represented and includes cased images, paper photographs, and apparatus. Glass stereographs and news-service negatives by the Underwood & Underwood firm document life in America between the 1890s and the 1930s. The history of amateur photography and photojournalism are preserved here, along with the work of 20th-century masters such as Richard Avedon and Edward Weston. Thousands of cameras and other equipment represent the technical and business side of the field.

- This photograph of a giant cactus is one of forty-nine framed black and white photographic prints bequeathed to the Smithsonian by William F. Bucher of Washington, D.C. Bucher, a cabinetmaker, framed each photograph in wood of the same species as the tree depicted in the print. The photos were displayed in a special exhibition, Our Trees and their Woods at the United States National Museum in 1931. The photo comes courtesy of the U.S. Forest Service. The frame is made of a cactus veneer on cypress wood.

"Americans need to know and understand the value and benefit of maintaining the National Guard and Reserve," Cragin said. "Since the first public service announcement (PSA) in 1973 with Bill Proxmire and (the late) Barry Goldwater, we have benefited from nearly $850 million in unpaid advertising encouraging employer support."
This year's campaign was created, for the public good, by the Warwick, Baker, O'Neill advertising agency, based in New York, and will be managed by the Ad Council through national, regional and local media outlets. It emphasizes the critical role played by today's Reserve forces and the necessity for continued support by employers.
"Reservists cannot meet their military commitments without the support of employers," Cragin said. "That's why the efforts of Warwick, Baker, O'Neill and the Ad Council are so very critical."
The ad campaign will consist of television commercials and radio spots varying in length from one minute to 10 seconds, print ads (newspapers, business press and magazines), and web site banners.
The 1999 television public service spot, "Alarm," was premiered for an audience of more than 80 media public service directors, Ad Council executives, advertising agency representatives, and Department of Defense officials. It is the centerpiece of a campaign, conducted by the Ad Council, to inform the public and employers about the growing role of the National Guard and Reserve in our national military strategy, while emphasizing the necessity for continued support by employers.
The television spot depicts a seemingly deserted U.S.S. John F. Kennedy, a Naval Reserve aircraft carrier, without any people or music, and sound effects dramatizing the emptiness. When an alarm sounds, the crew emerges and a Naval Reserve jet airplane takes off. A narrator states that half of the US military force is made up of the National Guard and Reserve, and without them, and their employers' support, we would not have the resources needed if and when there is a call to action.
The message for this year's campaign resulted from focus-group research conducted in Atlanta, Denver and Detroit, according to Cragin. The research revealed that employers generally understand they must cooperate with employees who need time off for military training, and that they have a very positive view of potential employees who have served in the military.
"The focus groups found that 25 years of public service advertising and other outreach efforts have been highly effective," Cragin said. "Employers are generally very supportive of our Guardsmen and Reservists. But we also found that many employers are not entirely aware that the nature of Reserve service has changed considerably since we began the PSA campaign over two decades ago."
Cragin said the new reality of increased use of the Guard and Reserve represents a profound paradigm shift, because the Reserves are no longer a force waiting along the sidelines.
"They are not 'weekend warriors' anymore - they are Total Force warriors," Cragin said. "And we increasingly depend on them to protect our vital interests around the world and here at home."
Employers pride themselves on their patriotic support of the Guard and Reserve, and they pride themselves for their flexibility to adapt to changing requirements in their workplace, according to Cragin.
"Our new PSA attempts to tell that story in terms of today's Total Force," Cragin said. "I'm confident that they will assimilate this new message and be supportive."
In recognition of their support to the Department of Defense and NCESGR, Cragin presented plaques to Theresa Osypuk and Arie Weissman representing the Ad Council, and Tom Groves and Tom Muratore, from Baker, Warwick, O'Neill.
Ceremony participants also viewed some of the NCESGR commercials from prior years, including the very first, produced in 1973, featuring William Proxmire and the late Barry Goldwater. NCESGR was chartered in 1972 when the U.S. Armed Forces were transitioning to an all-volunteer force. The committee was designed to minimize conflicts between part-time military duties and full-time civilian career responsibilities. Today more than half of the nation's military strength resides in the National Guard and Reserve.

Brooklin is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States. The population was 824 at the 2010 census. It is home to WoodenBoat Magazine, Brooklin Boat Yard, and numerous boatbuilders, artists, writers, musicians, and potters.
Brooklin was originally part of a larger town, then Sedgwick broke off and formed its own town. A few weeks later, the name was changed to Brooklin, after the brook line which separated it from Sedgwick. Using porgy oil as a fertilizer, the difficult soil was made productive, and hay became the principal crop. With excellent harbors, however, the main occupations were fishing and seafaring. By 1859, when the population was 1,002, it also had five boot and shoemaking factories, as well as two barrel manufacturers.[4] By 1886, the town was noted for producing smoked herring in considerable quantities. Canning lobster had also become an important business.[5]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 41.18 square miles (106.66 km2), of which 17.92 square miles (46.41 km2) is land and 23.26 square miles (60.24 km2) is water.[1] Brooklin is situated on the Benjamin River overlooking Jericho Bay.
The town is crossed by Maine State Route 175.

An 11th-century Norse coin was (allegedly[7]) found in Brooklin at the site of an excavation of a Native American trading center. If true this would be the only physical evidence of Nordic settlers having entered the area of what is now the United States. If not an outright hoax, it is also possible that the coin was brought to the site not directly by Vikings, but rather through trading.

By Joe from USA on 2010-01-07 07:04:31Things I liked:Exactly like it should be. It includes three sight disks (3.6, 3.8, and 4.0mm) that are not mentioned in the listing. This sight is an excellent value for the money -- comparable to sights costing in the $100 to $150 range.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:
By FRED from USA on 2012-01-22 12:15:42Things I liked:Adjustability, good range of elevation provided by this sight in case the rear sight has run out of range with your standard front hooded sight; large insert size so you can change the insert to larger or smaller sighting holes or go to a metal insert (comes with a clear plastic insert). The sight has several adjustment mountings so you can flip and re-position the hood for added range adjustability
Things I would have changed: I'd like to see the sight mounting plate able to be installed on the outside of the vertical adjustment slot which would allow even more adjustability to be obtained.
What others should know:This is made for the Challenger and does fit my FWB although I had to really crank down on the tightening screw to gain a proper, tight clamp.

It's official: NBA postpones training camps, cancels 43 preseason games
Sep 23, 2011, 11:18 AM EDT
We all knew it was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier to report.
Especially when you now consider that regular season games will almost certainly be postponed if not lost.
The NBA announced it has officially and indefinitely postponed the start of NBA training camps (that were to start Oct. 3) and has cancelled 43 preseason games, the ones running from Oct. 9 to 15.
"We have regretfully reached the point on the calendar where we are not able to open training camps on time and need to cancel the first week of preseason games," NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said in a released statement. "We will make further decisions as warranted."
Expect word on the preseason games scheduled for the last two weeks of October to come in the next week or so.
The timing of this makes you think that NBA regular season games are in serious jeopardy.
While maybe it could be condensed a little, it will likely take a month for the league to get up and running after the lockout ends (it took a month after the 1998 lockout). There is a free agency period, condensed training camps and a handful of preseason games to be played.
The regular season is to start Nov. 1. Do the math backwards and you realize that the two sides have almost no time left to make a deal and get the season to start on time. The two sides are not scheduled to meet again although it is expected they will again next week. But if the two sides remain this far apart it's hard to see how they get a deal done in time.
There are ways to get in the full 82 games if the first couple weeks of the regular season are delayed, but already time is running out.
Not that missing games will really impact the negotiations.
- toosano - Sep 23, 2011 at 1:31 PM
Who gives a rat's ass about the NBA . If there's a league that the recession has to claim this is the one I prefer to see go.
- trbowman - Sep 23, 2011 at 2:15 PM
Agreed. I hate baseball, but I don't pay any attention to MLB so it doesn't bother me. I love basketball, but the NBA as a whole and David Stern suck.
- acieu - Sep 23, 2011 at 4:46 PM
Three lousy comments in total sums up the apathy fans feel about the NBA. nogas!
- fouldwimmerlaik - Sep 23, 2011 at 5:14 PM
Cancel the season! The players need to see how much they are overpaid and how arrogant attitude gets you nowhere.
- ocgunslinger - Sep 23, 2011 at 9:51 PM
Really….who cares. Let these overpaid egotistical sit out a year or two and/or play in Europe. We have football and will figure out something else to do Feb through June.
- denverdude7 - Sep 24, 2011 at 12:07 PM
I am very glad to hear the NBA has cancelled some preseason games. Now, they just need to cancel the rest of the games not only for this season but permanently.
Let these overpaid, overhyped, tattooed bling bearers play in some foreign country.
Admit it, wouldn't it be great to see highlights of Bron-Bron getting stuffed by some 5'5″ Chinese guy? Now that would be entertaining.
Besides, with no basketball games to cover we get more coverage of the NFL and MLB.
- toosano - Sep 28, 2011 at 2:13 PM
The only problem with cancelling the season is that the crime rate will go up.

In this course, photographer Derrick Story teaches the concepts and techniques behind efficient photo management and backup, which becomes increasingly important as a photo collection grows. The course begins by showing how to transfer and organize photos "by hand"—that is, by copying them from a memory card to a hard drive without using software. In the second portion of the course, discover how to take advantage of the photo-management features provided by programs such as Lightroom and Aperture, by assigning descriptive keywords, by giving photos ratings and color-coded labels, and how smart album features can automatically collect photos that meet certain criteria.
The course concludes with a look at aspects of a good backup and archival strategy, ranging from the best file format for long-term backup to the best hardware options for offline storage.
What I have open here on the screen is a new kind of hard drive. It is a network connected hard drive. In other words, it's not plugged directly into my computer the way these hard drives are that we have been looking at earlier. Now, the advantage of a network drive is that multiple computers on the network can access it, so they can read the data and they can write data to it, and this gives much more flexibility, as you can imagine. Now, I'm using an Iomega drive, right here on the Local Area Network. It is a StorCenter ix2, and one of the things that I like about this for Local Area Network is that it comes with software for both Mac and Windows. You can see the Storage Manager software here in the background showing that I'm connected. And then up here you have some controls also. You can browse for the devices when the software sees one that's on the network, you can manage it, you can browse it; if you haven't already, you can connect to it, and you can set the password.
So you have some great administrative controls here that are very easy to use. I think almost anyone that is somewhat computer savvy would have no problem setting this up on the Local Area Network. Password protection is important because you want to limit access to the drive for people that you think need to get to it. And then once you give those people access, then make sure that they are following the same organizational system that you're using so that this doesn't become a hodgepodge of scattered photos, which brings you right back to where you were before you started this course.
So make sure everyone's using the same organizational system. You get to control the access to it. It's a very flexible way to go. These things have come down in price tremendously; you can get a drive with a lot of storage for a few hundred dollars, put it on your network, and go from there. These types of drives give you additional flexibility compared to the drives that you have to connect directly.

Nate Quarry: There is always the injury issue, but he is a great fighter and he is unfortunate enough to be on the recieving end of one of the best highlight reel KO's ever
Jason Miller: He's f*cking Mayhem.
Joe Riggs: He can bang, he's fun to watch and he's got a punchers chance against anybody. That makes for great fights.
Frank Trigg: He's making his own career true to the name of the show. Right now he's looking like he'd have won the whole thing at 185 or 170. He did damn good against Misaki
Carlos Newton: He's got to want revenge after the way Hughes Powerbombed him. I know I would. His career's not doing to bad, but he'd be great on the show.
Karo Parysian: He's always deserved a title shot and recently he's been falling apart. It's his chance to get his and get on a hot streak before.
Jay Hieron: Gave GSP a great fight. Unfortunately, he's currently fighting in the Insignificant Fight League.
I dont understand how Karo and David Terell fit on the list? David Terrell beat Matt Lindland, lost to Evan tanner and beat scott smith. It wouldnt be much of a come back.
And also Karo? Karo is falling apart? i must have missed something. he lost to diego but destroyed Nick Thompson and Drew Fickett.
I agree it would have been great IF they were on the show to have a title shot but i dont think the apply to the "comeback" aspect

Two people remain missing in the Tailrace Canal outside Moncks Corner in two separate mishaps Saturday evening.
Around 6 p.m., one person jumped out of a boat and didn't come back up to the surface, said Robert McCullough of the state Department of Natural Resources' law enforcement division.
Around 8 p.m., two boats collided near the same part of the canal, and rescue crews airlifted one woman to a hospital and treated another for minor injuries, McCullough said.
A third boater remained missing. Divers entered the water to search for both missing boaters but had not found anything by 10 p.m., he said. The search will resume this morning.
No names of those missing were available late Saturday, and McCullough also did not have the name of the victim who suffered critical injuries Friday night after running under a dock on Hobcaw Point in the Wando River.
McCullough said that boater remained hospitalized Saturday, and that accident also is still under investigation.
The incidents marked a grim beginning to the summer boating season. The Memorial Day holiday weekend traditionally is one of the most challenging for marine law enforcement.
