King's Mountain Shadow Camouflage Pattern
King's Mountain Shadow provides complete breakup from light to dark with realistic detail in color and shadows to provide the appearance of depth in thick forests to transitional open terrain. We set out to develop a pattern that would allow tremendous versatility going from dark to light conditions and terrain. Mountain Shadow achieves this goal in stunning detail through our choice and depth of colors and breakup.
"King's Mountain Shadow is the answer to the western hunter's prayers. After years of frustration trying to make other camo work, I finally have what the terrain calls for."

Dr Seuss' Lorax
It's funny and enjoyable, yes. But completely misses the point of the book, and I felt it kind of ended up trying to be like WALL-E. Or like an environmental doctrine for kids.
Dr Lenera
RE: Dr Seuss' Lorax
Ted Wiggins, an idealistic 12-year-old boy, lives in "Thneed-Ville", a walled city that, aside from the citizens, is completely, perfectly, artificial: everything is made of plastic, metal, or synthetics. Ted sets out to find the one thing that will win him the affection of Audrey, the girl of his dreams, who wishes to see a real tree . Ted's energetic grandmother suggests he speak with the Once-ler on the matter, and he discovers that their city has been closed off from the outside world, which is a contaminated and empty wasteland. The Once-ler agrees to tell Ted about the trees if he listens to his story over multiple visits. Ted agrees, even after the mayor of Thneed-Ville Aloysius O'Hare confronts the boy and pressures him to stay in town. Over the visits, the Once-ler recounts the story of how he met The Lorax, a grumpy yet charming orange creature who served as guardian of the land he arrived in......
I am going to admit and confess that I have never read any of the many children's stories by Dr Seuss, but am certainly aware of their imagination, their clever rhyming and ability of get positive messages through to children. I have also seen all the previous films based on Seuss's tales and found them most entertaining. Therefore it was almost a given that I would find The Lorax, which is the second computer animated adaptation of Seuss following Horton Hears A Who!, very appealing. The Lorax, which actually follows a 1972 live action TV version, has already had many complaints from Seuss fans about alterations. It's also totally and utterly unashamedly environmentalist, which seems to have already annoyed some of the more conservative reviewers around, which is silly, because even if you're not very 'green', this is an extremely inventive cartoon which is thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end, something that is typical of the output of Blue Sky Studios [Despicable Me, Ice Age, the much underrated Robots]. I will say that I didn't see this in 3D, as I'm not a fan of the format, and it was visually exciting enough in 2D!
Right from the outset this is an extremely bright film, with bilious colours which could make some feel sick but which I loved and will certainly keep the younger viewers glued to the screen. Initially seeming like a weird variation on The Truman Show, it adroitly shows an ignorant, consumerist and artificial society which is not that far removed from our own before taking us to a totally different world that is just around the corner, a barren wasteland. The structure of the film from thereo is perhaps a little awkward; about half of the rest of it is the Once-ler's story he tells to Ted and when we come out of it every now and again the breaks jar somewhat. Nonetheless, his tale is fascinating and set in the one of the most wondrous fantasy lands I've seen in ages, with absolutely gorgeous colours, friendly animals that most certainly are cute, and trees that look like candyfloss. Of course the environmentalist message is soon brought to the fore. I personally feel that it's important to educate children about stuff like the importance of preserving nature [and even photosynthesis is explained in this film!], which has been a major staple of anime for decades, though if you don't believe mankind is destroying our world some of The Lorax will undoubtedly grate.
The filmmakers have obviously realised this and fill the film with chuckles ; I especially loved the Lorax's method of waking somebody up by rubbing two bears together and touching the sleeper with the electric shocks this produces, and of course there's a big action climax which is one of the most inventive vehicle chases in ages. There are also some songs, making The Lorax a musical, something the trailer did not reveal. The songs are good rather than great and seem to be deliberately cheesy, especially the one near the end, a clever choice because it means that if you 'going' with the film and its sincere message than you can 'go with' the songs too, and if not you can just laugh at the cheese but enjoy it all the same. John Powell's score, by the way, is one of the best to come from this veteran of animated films. For a start, it's just amazing to find a composer who likes to write actual tunes these days.
The Lorax adds a couple of villains to the original story and some might say they are unnecessary but allow the filmmakers to make some timely and perfectly valid attacks on big business. The film isn't subtle at all about what its saying and that is one of the reasons I liked it so much. There's a 'cool' grandmother character who isn't quite as funny as the writers think she is but the gruff but charming Lorax is wonderful and a perfect role for Danny De Vito; you can almost see the actor acting out the part. Somehow the animators convey the hurt in his eyes as trees are chopped down. Paced very fast, yet not seeming rushed, The Lorax is a fine cinematic fantasy which has been cleverly designed so that even the youngest of children can assimilate much of it, yet has ingredients that almost everyone can enjoy and is certainly off-the-wall enough to appeal to some adults who want to see something a little different. Sometimes supposed 'children's films' are more 'out there' than some adults realise. Sometimes they're also the best for getting messages across. From my point of view, The Lorax may be indoctrinating young people, and perhaps goes too far in showing capitalism as evil, but I do agree with most of it.

RE: Dr Seuss' Lorax
The Lorax
loosely on the Dr Seuss story of the same name and as usual with Hollywood they have fudged it all up.
The story is an environmental one, an eco plot if you will about the effects of cutting down trees. Put simply (just like the original book did) there is a small town which is gloomy and polluted. The reason for this is because all the trees were chopped down to mass market 'thneeds' by the one they call 'Once-ler'. 'Once-ler' tells a young boy the whole story of how he destroyed all the trees to create his 'thneeds' and ignored the advice and warnings of the 'Lorax', guardian of the trees.
'Once-ler' regrets his actions and gives the young boy a tree seed to plant so that trees may return as well as the 'Lorax'. There is a bit more to it but that is the basic premise.
So what does Hollywood do you ask? well do you really need to ask? I'm sure you can all guess but I'll tell you anyway. Hollywood strips the story down and refits it with tripe filler and made up characters to fill out a decent length run time. Throw in some ridiculous vehicle chase sequences, cliched slapstick and jokes and some hideous musical numbers and there you have it, typical Hollywood trash.
Now I will admit the film looks lovely, full of bright bold colours, its cheerful, light hearted and with some nice CGI animation. BUT the lesson has been diluted and cluttered by fancy ass visuals and 'action' sequences. Yes there is still a nice message within the film, the finale shows what can be done if they jettison the crapola but that's only about a 3min sequence out of an entire film!.
I simply cannot understand why they thought to create new characters!. The new character 'Aloysius O'Hare' is REALLY annoying too, he just looks annoying, making him short...yeah that's not funny.
I realise they needed to fill the story to reach a reasonable film run time but if that can't be done then don't do it. Maybe try another route, don't just make a whole load of stuff up!. 'Once-ler' was suppose to be faceless, a boogieman like equivalent of modern faceless companies/corporations that destroy nature for their gain. You can't uproot that, that's the whole point!.
The world where this takes place isn't named, plus it isn't some bright, colourful,
Willy Wonka
type place with fancy technology!!. I see what they did with that sure but why?? stop changing the whole premise!!, it all looks like something outta 'Despicable Me'.
Of course we don't know how Seuss would take to it but I'm pretty sure the original fable wasn't meant to include futuristic vehicles, buildings, 'Once-ler' playing guitar, airship things and some god awful songs including the now obligatory hip hop pop song for the final credits which happens for almost all kids films now (more manufactured faceless nobodies singing forgettable songs that will fade into obscurity as quickly as they appeared).
I like the fact that Hollywood has tried to put across a good message...of sorts. I'm sure they are more concerned about another franchise to milk that will rake in the moolah but the initial positive effort is there. If only this could of been done more down to earth, with a little more sense towards the source material and maybe in a different media (stop motion would have been nice, Selick directing perhaps?).
At the end of the day its merely been mutated into another flashy, churned out, in your face CGI flick (in 3D -_-). How ironic, a polluted vision of Dr Seuss' simple little tale, such a shame.
Ignore this, stick to the original book or 1972 TV special, don't deny your children these.
Deliciously anti-consumerist!
As a Leftie and person concerned about the environment I sat through this with barely disguised glee! I can well understand some people feeling preached to with a film like this but I felt the message was a very important one to children.
Some of the cynicism about consumerism is delightful. For instance, the advertising campaign for fresh air in a plastic bottle and the bastardisation of the recycling sign showing smoky factories and choking citizens. I actually wish it had gone even further at times, with a few well aimed snipes at bankers and shareholders.
The animation itself, while not exactly Pixar standard, is very colourful and almost hippielike in its gaudiness (maybe this was the intention) The main criticism would perhaps be that some of the characters don't exactly do much, the Lorax pretty much justs sits and watches the forests being destroyed. And yes, the love story is sort of barged aside in the push to get the environmental message across. Again, it could have pushed that little bit harder, giving kids real examples of how they can help the planet, rather than some vague quotation about caring.
As long as you are not a foaming Daily Mail reader, do take your kids to see this. Even if so they get a mark for the word 'Photosynthesis' in their Science assessment!

What causes swollen ankle? 37 possible conditions
What Is Foot, Leg, and Ankle Swelling?
Foot, leg, and ankle swelling—also known as peripheral edema—refers to an accumulation of fluid in these parts of the body. The buildup of fluid is not usually painful, unless it is due to injury. Swelling is often more apparent in the lower area of the body because of gravity.
Older people frequently experience this type of swelling. While it usually does not pose a significant health risk, it is important to know when to see a doctor since swelling may indicate a more serious underlying health issue.
What Are the Main Causes of Foot, Leg, and Ankle Swelling?
There are many potential causes of foot, leg, and ankle swelling. They include certain lifestyle conditions or medications, such as:
- being overweight
- standing for prolonged periods of time
- being confined for long periods of time (especially during car rides or flights)
- taking estrogen or testosterone
- taking certain antidepressants, such as tricyclics or MAO inhibitors
- taking certain blood pressure medications
- taking steroids
- taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Other medical conditions or changes in your body can also cause your legs, feet, and ankles to swell. These include:
- natural changes during a woman's menstrual cycle
- pregnancy
- preeclampsia (a condition during pregnancy that causes high blood pressure)
- a blood clot of the leg
- an infection in the leg area
- venous insufficiency (when the veins are not adequately pumping blood)
- injury
- recent pelvic surgery
- organ failure (particularly in the heart, liver, or kidney)
- pericarditis (a swelling of the membrane around the heart)
- lymphedema (a condition that causes blockages in the lymph system)
- cirrhosis (scarring on the liver)
How Can You Treat Foot, Leg, and Ankle Swelling at Home?
There are several measures you can try at home if your feet, legs, and ankles regularly swell up. These can help relieve swelling when it occurs and possibly help to prevent it.
You should try to elevate your legs whenever you are lying down, to a position above your heart. You may want to place a pillow under your legs to make it more comfortable.
You can also:
- stay active and focus on exercising the legs
- try to reduce your salt intake
- avoid the use of garters
- maintain a healthy body weight
- purchase support stockings.
- choose clothing that fits loosely around your thigh area
- make an effort to stand up and move around on a regular basis during air travel
When Should You See a Doctor for Your Condition?
While swelling in the lower extremities can simply be the result of standing for too long, it can also be a sign of something more serious. The following information provides some general guidelines about when swelling should be considered a medical emergency, and when it warrants a trip to your doctor.
Emergency Care
If you experience any of the following symptoms along with foot, leg, and ankle swelling, you should go to the nearest emergency room right away:
- pain, pressure, or tightness in the chest area
- dizziness
- confusion
- feelings of faintness
- trouble breathing or shortness of breath
Doctor's Office Visit
If any of the following describe your situation, you should schedule an appointment with your family doctor as soon as possible:
- you have worsening swelling in addition to heart or kidney disease
- the swollen areas feel warm to the touch
- the swollen areas are red in color
- your body temperature is higher than normal
- you are currently pregnant and are experiencing swelling that is severe or sudden
- you have swelling in your legs and also have liver disease
- you have tried the tips for at-home care, but they have not been successful
- your swelling is getting worse
What to Expect During Your Doctor's Visit
During your visit, the doctor will conduct a physical examination and ask you about your symptoms. You should be prepared to explain:
- where you are noticing the swelling
- the times of day when the swelling tends to be worse
- if you are experiencing any other symptoms
- if you notice any factors that tend to make the swelling better or worse
To help diagnose the cause of the swelling, your doctor may order one or more of the following tests:
- blood tests
- X-rays
- urine tests
- an ECG to assess heart function
If a health condition is determined to be cause of your swelling, your doctor will first attempt to treat that underlying condition. If the cause of your swelling is non-serious or lifestyle-related, your doctor may recommend some of the lifestyle changes mentioned above. He or she may also probably advise you to reduce your sodium intake.
According to the National Institutes of Health, in some cases, doctors will prescribe diuretics to help reduce swelling. However, these medicines have side effects, and are usually used only if home remedies are not working. (NIH)

PMS symptoms start five to 11 days before menstruation and typically go away once menstruation begins. The cause of PMS is unknown.
The thyroid gland produces a hormone that controls how your cells use energy (metabolize). Hypothyroidism occurs when the body doesn't produce enough. Untreated, it can cause complications like obesity and heart disease.
Peripheral vascular disease is a circulation disorder caused by plaque build-up in peripheral arteries. It typically affects the arteries that supply blood to the arms, legs, and organs located below the stomach.
This condition is considered a medical emergency. Urgent care may be required.
Deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside your body. They typically form in the thigh or lower leg, but also can develop in other parts of the body.
Glomerulonephritis occurs when blood filtering vessels in the kidneys are damaged. This may contribute to kidney failure, which causes fatigue, insomnia, itchy skin, and other symptoms.
Chronic kidney disease is a progressive, irreversible destruction of the kidneys. The most common causes are high blood pressure and diabetes. Symptoms don't show until about 90 percent of the kidney has been destroyed.

N.J. Muslims file lawsuit against NYPD over surveillance operation

June 6, 2012
Calling the New York Police Department's spy operations unconstitutional and discriminatory, a group of New Jersey Muslims will be the first to file a legal challenge against the NYPD over its years-long surveillance operation targeting Muslim-owned businesses and houses of worship.
The lawsuit will be filed in federal court in Newark this morning, according to officials from Muslim Advocates, a nationally renowned advocacy organization, who are filing the suit on behalf of a group of New Jersey residents.
The group will hold a press conference at 10 a.m. in New York City to discuss the suit, which calls for an immediate end to the surveillance of Muslims and the destruction of records the NYPD compiled during its secret operations.

Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) CEO Muhtar Kent aims to double Coke's business by 2020. An extensive six-page article in the May 2012 issue of Fortune magazine acknowledges this is no small feat for a company on track to hit $48 billion in sales this year. One way it plans to pursue that growth is by investing $5 billion in India from 2012 to 2020 — and by making China its No. 1 market, even surpassing the U.S. and Mexico.
But although the company is looking around the world for its next big sales boom, there is no denying that the Coca-Cola brand is about as American as it gets.
The iconic American brand and beverage powerhouse got its humble beginnings in an Atlanta pharmacy — and 125 years later, Coca-Cola is one of the best-known brands in the world, making it our pick from Georgia for the Real America Index.
Coca-Cola expanded globally early on, moving into Canada, France and Latin America before 1920. That aggressive growth is part of the reason its cola remains ahead of Pepsi in bottles and cans sold. Currently, only about 40% of Coca-Cola sales volume (measured by gallons, not in dollars) can be attributed to American consumers. According to corporate figures, Coca-Cola sells more than 500 brands in over 200 countries and serves 1.8 billion servings of its products each day.
Though soft drink and snack conglomerate PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) hardly can be called "runner-up" to Coca-Cola, the reality is that in more than a century of competition, Coca-Cola never has fallen behind Pepsi's cola in head-to-head sales thanks to the Atlanta-based company's powerful brand and global appeal.
The company employs about 146,200 workers worldwide. With a nearly $3 billion advertising budget, Coca-Cola is a major client for print, television and online media outlets.
Because of its growth and its dependable dividend, Coca-Cola also is a common investment in all manner of Wall Street portfolios.

Management to Make Two Presentations on the Topic of Drug Repurposing and
Indian Clinical Trial Strategy
MORRISTOWN, N.J., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Vicus Therapeutics, Inc., an oncology-focused, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today that Chief Executive Officer, John Maki, and Chief Scientific Officer, Frederic Young, Ph.D., will each present at the 234th American Chemical Society National Meeting on Sunday, August 19, 2007. The Meeting is being held at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, MA.
Dr. Young will present "Hypothesis-driven Drug Repurposing Based on a Novel Systems Biology Approach," including a discussion of Vicus' complexity theory-based drug repurposing approach in creating a pipeline of product candidates for the treatment of important unmet medical needs. The Company's approach can be applied to the discovery of product candidates for any indication, including cancer cachexia, a metabolic disorder, mucositis, a wound healing disorder, and cancer fatigue, a CNS disorder. The specific application of this method will be discussed in the context of the Company's lead compound, VT-122. Dr. Young's presentation is scheduled for 11:45 a.m.
Mr. Maki's presentation, entitled "Synergistic Advantages of Drug
Repurposing and Clinical Trial Off-shoring in India", will include a
discussion of the unique synergistic advantages of drug re-profiling and
off- shoring, as well as an overview of the steps necessary to realize such
advantages. Specifically, Mr. Maki will provide highlights from the
Company's ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of VT-122 for cancer cachexia, now
being conducted in the U.S. and India. In addition, he will review recent
changes by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI, the Indian

that is currently driving the expl

At top, Washington High Indoor Track Coach Tishara Collins times runners junior Vertis Brown and seniors Teaira Patterson and Tiffany Selby during practice. / Joey Gardner Photo
PRINCESS ANNE — When Tishara Collins took over as Washington track coach a year ago, she knew there was work that needed to be done to return the team to its former success.
For Collins, who had previously been an assistant with the program when the Jaguars won regional championships in boys and girls outdoor in 2006, one of the first things that needed to be done was teaching her team the proper technique and form. Getting her group to buy into it was initially a little bit of a struggle.
Last year, I wanted them to get comfortable in their spots, whether they were sprinters, throwers or hurdlers she said. In the beginning, it was a lot of we didnt do it like that before or do we have to do that? Once they got into the meets they were very receptive, and by the second meet, they really saw the success to it.
Now in her second year as head coach, Collins is expecting her team to continue its improvement when the first meet of the season takes place Friday. One of the things Collins is preaching is the need to be competitive at meets this season and to pose a challenge at both the regional and state level.
The Jaguars have some of the pieces in place to do so, including the return of senior Tiffany Selby, who finished second in the 1A East Championships in the 55-meter hurdles, but missed out on reaching the finals in the states. Selby will be anchoring a group of girls that will be smaller than the previous season.
On the boys side, the number of throwers outnumber the runners, but Collins is expecting good potential with junior shot putter George Mister, who finished fourth in the regional indoor meet, and newcomers such as Jyrell Ballard.
Collins said that in order to build the program, the schools administration is also lending its support by offering to help with purchasing equipment. Collins said having the necessary equipment allows her team to properly practice.
Having that equipment is important because we dont have some of the things the other schools have, she said. I think the more equipment we have and the more options we have, the bigger we can grow, because not everybody is a sprinter.
In addition to the tools for success, Collins and her coaches are also attending coaching clinics to build their knowledge as well.
The hope is that with the things they learn, they can develop a consistent contender that can vie for a state title.
I think were going to have to work hard and put it on the track. Even if we have a bad race or meet, we have to turn it around the next week, she said. Its not that we dont have the talent, its that we have to develop it. I just think its a process on our parts as well as on the part of the students.
This year we hope to have second and third place finishes on the state level and in 3-4 years, I expect us to get more first places and Washington to bring home a state title.

Crazy Carl (Paladino) and His Radical Plan for New York
The Republican in New York's gubernatorial race speaks out.
12:36 PM, Oct 18, 2010 • By DANIEL HALPER
"We really want to create jobs, we just don't want to say we're creating jobs," Paladino insisted, claiming that he's results-oriented. "We don't want to say, oh, we'll pay this company so much money for every job they create. How about number one, we figure out how to retain jobs. We lost 274,000 jobs last year in the state of New York. Nevertheless, we hired thousands of people. . . . We've got 198,341 people working for the state of New York. They raise our taxes in the last two years [by] $15 billion. 198,341 people and you couldn't find one to lay off? Not one. Not one. But, no, we want to create jobs. Because jobs is the number one thing for people. For their kids, for their grandchildren, for their neighbors, for their friends, for the people of the state of New York. Cutting spending, cutting taxes is how you get there."
One example of a myriad Paladino offers is the wine industry in the state of New York: "To grow grapes and make wine in New York you have to have nine separate licenses. The only place on earth that you have such government intrusion in this industry."
That means less intrusion from an "abusive" and "out-of-control" government. "Government can't take advantage of the people….government should be for the people," he says.
Paladino, who ran a very successful real estate development business, seems to sense that he and his foibles have been too much in the spotlight. "This election is about the people," he says. "It's not about Carl Paladino. It's not about Andrew Cuomo. It's about the people. And the frustration of the people with their government."
In our conversation, Paladino took frequent shots at Obamacare. "There's another, better way to do this than create another goddamn bureaucracy – excuse my English."
When one considers Paladino's chances after the primary election, it's pretty easy to see that at least at one point in this short campaign, he had a path to victory. The day before the Republican primary, Paladino told me, he was down one point. "I surged from single digits, over a period of two months [and] we won by 26 points." Turnout in upstate New York was double for this Republican primary than most previous primaries. The polls, Paladino hopes, are not a good gauge of turnout. "The voters will speak on November 2."
Circumstances gave Paladino a fighting chance, too: New York faces an uncontrollable state capital that has promised public sector unions far more than it would ever be able to deliver. The state's spending has risen dramatically, and New York taxpayers are having to foot the bill with the highest taxes in the union.
And it's an anti-incumbent year, and the businessman is running against a life-long politician who is currently his state's attorney general. Paladino bristles at being described as a politician himself: "Am I a politician? Don't ever, ever accuse me of that. Don't say that in your article, please."
If elected, Paladino promises to be a one-term candidate: "I'm running for four years [as governor]. That's it. I swore on my children I will not serve a day longer than four years. I'm not looking to uphold an elected office. I'm not looking for a career in politics. Okay? I'm doing this as a service to the people of New York who have been maligned by their government. I'm not your normal, everyday guy."
All this leads one to think: What if, after Paladino's surprising upset in the Republican primary over former congressman Rick Lazio, he had run an issue-based, well-disciplined campaign? But that's precisely what Paladino didn't do.
Most experts now rightly consider his chances to be close to nil. His only hope may be for New Yorkers to decide that reputations can be deceiving. Eliot Spitzer was thought to be a reformer who had the potential to one day become president of the United States. But it all busted the day the former prosecutor was found to have been seeing prostitutes on the side even while he was serving as governor. As for Spitzer's successor David Paterson, he was very well liked and respected, but it turned out that he, too, had a women problem and a past drug problem.
What's known about Paladino are his antics. Underneath it all, however, there might be a man who could shake up Albany, possibly the most corrupt state government in the country.
Is Paladino crazy? Probably. Does he have the ability to blow-up? Clearly. Does he still present a better alternative to Cuomo? That's a decision that New York voters will have to make on November 2.

New Low Pass Filter Available for m12 Cameras
by Peau on Jan.31, 2010, under Uncategorized
Low Pass Filter: Typically known as a visible light filter, this filter blocks all light except those wavelengths in the visible spectrum.
Over the past few months I have had some interest from customers to have a filter made for the m12 modified ps3 eye cameras that would allow it to be used not for infrared light but for the typical visible light. For those customers who purchased cameras in the past with this goal in mind to use the interchangeable m12 lens system with the camera, the only choice has been to deal with the washed out and lack of color from using the lenses without any filtering at all.
I got in contact with my filter supplier and he's produced a low pass filter sized perfectly for the m12 mount which only allows visible light through, namely in the 400-700nm wavelengths. I have done multiple tests in varying lighting conditions and found that the filter does indeed do a very good job at keeping the colors clear and the image not washed out from the immense amount of infrared light found in sunlight and incandescent bulbs. In ambient lighting conditions that don't have much of any infrared light, such as total darkness and fluorescent lights, the filter isn't needed as much but is still important to have.
You can purchase all m12 mount cameras at my store now with the typical infrared band pass filters and also the new low pass filter by itself here. See below for pictures showing the differences of having the filter on the camera versus not having one on.
(ABOVE: See how washed out the places where the light bounces off the wall are due to all the infrared light in sunlight)
(ABOVE: Colors also get very washed out)
(TWO ABOVE: Florescent light doesn't make much of a difference)
(ABOVE: Pure infrared light is greatly reduced)
Custom PS3 Eye Camera Boxes Still Selling Strong

Back in July of last year I introduced some acrylic camera boxes that I designed and had fabricated for my online store. I've used them on all the installs I've done for clients and for my own multitouch setups. Their simplicity and professional appearance has been the main reason I've sold so many of them.

Below are the Pirates 2011 draft selections who could potential play for the Spikes this summer:
Here are the new Pirate players who will potentially open the season on the State College Spikes roster:
Alex Dickerson OF (Third Round, Pick 1/Overall Pick 91) The Pirates are interested in the University of Indiana outfielder's bat, as that's the one tool that stands out for the left-handed hitter. He's got power, winning the Big Ten Triple Crown in 2010 as a sophomore.
Daniel Gamache 3B (Overall pick 182) Auburn University - Hit .365 with 15 doubles and eight home runs, driving in 37 runs as a sophomore at Auburn.
Taylor Lewis CF (Overall pick 302) University of Maine - Listed at 6-foot and 200 pounds, he was one of his team's best offensive performers in 2010 (.369/.428/.626, with 21 SB in 22 attempts), but his play has dropped off somewhat this year (.288/.370/.420, with 20 SB in 24 attempts). He is also the current holder of Maine's record for career triples, with 20.
Josh Poytress LHP (Overall pick 542) Fresno State University - Went 6-6 with a 5.87 ERA with 60 strikeouts as a sophomore for the Bulldogs. Poytress was a second-team All-WAC selection.
Alex Fuselier OF (Overall pick 632) University of Louisiana-Lafayette - Led the Ragin' Cajuns with 20 steals in 2010 as a sophomore, ranking in the top 5 in the Sun Belt Conference.
Michael Jefferson LHP (Overall pick 662) Louisiana Tech - During the 2011 season, Jefferson was 6-4 with a 3.56 ERA in 18 appearances on the mound. He allowed 41 runs (34 earned) on 79 hits in 86.0 innings pitched while walking 46 and striking out 70 on the year.
Jordan Cooper RHP (Overall pick 692) University of Kentucky - Cooper made 12 starts with two relief appearances as a sophomore in 2011. Cooper totaled a 3-2 record and a 4.61 ERA with one save, tossing 66.1 innings with 29 walks and 47 strikeouts. He was originally selected by the Pirates in the 17th round of the 2009 draft.
Brian Sharp SS (Overall pick 722) California Baptist University - Sharp is the program's all-time leader in runs scored (165) and stolen bases(89), and also ranks among the program's all-time leaders in hit-by-pitch (45-2nd), hits (208-4th), doubles (45-4th), triples (4-5th), total bases (327-5th), RBI (134-6th), walks (67-6th), games played (165-9th), home runs (22-10th) and average (10th-.354).
Josh Martin RHP (Overall pick 752) Samford University - Posted a record of 5-6 and an ERA of 5.72 in 78.2 innings of work as a sophomore in 2010.
Ryan Hornback C (Overall pick 812) San Jacinto College North (Texas) - Hit .310 in 2011 as a sophomore with three homeruns and nine steals. Hornback has a commitment to Mississippi, so he won't be an automatic sign.
Kirk Singer SS (Overall pick 872) Long Beach State University - Baseball America rated Singer the 56th-best prospect in southern California on the strength of his glove and good arm.
Matthew Benedict RHP (Overall pick 902) Western Carolina University - Benedict led all Southern Conference pitchers in earned run average during the regular season at 2.45 in 16 appearances including 11 starts. Benedict was also named to the second-team All-Southern Conference.
Derek Trent C (Overall pick 932) East Tennessee State University - A top 10 catcher coming into this past college season, Trent was a semi-finalist for the Johnny Bench award in 2010. Trent but up solid senior numbers posting a .351 average to go along with 14 HR and 56 runs batted in.
David Jagoditsh RHP (Overall pick 962) Pima Community College - Jagoditsh is a 6'7 right hander from Marana, Arizona.
Chris Lashmet 3B (Overall pick 992) Northwestern University - Lashmet posted a .353 average along with three home runs his senior year.
Juan Rosado 1B (Overall pick 1022) LSU Eunice - Rosado set a Louisiana state home run record in high school, and was originally an 11th round pick of the Rockies in the 2010 draft.
Isaac Ballou OF (Overall pick 1082) Marshall University - Led the Thundering Herd as a sophomore with 18 stolen bases. Also drew 32 walks, while only striking out 28 times.
Rodarrick Jones OF (Overall pick 1112) Southern University - A former Astros draft pick in 2008 out of high school, Jones was a player with tremendous upside that many seemed to be waiting to blossom.

Zimmerman, FNP (Commenting on her assignment at a
Southeast Alaska healthcare center)
WMS is the best travel company I have worked for. Best paying
and the staff always provide the needed back ground information
for each new travel site. You know where you are going and what
to expect when you get there. Travel and living arrangements
have always been excellent. The president , Mary Ellen Doty is
awesome, a real hands on leader. The best in the business"
Mary Caffee, ANP
"Wilderness Medical Staffing is
a delightful and exciting company to work for. The clinic
placements range from suburban to rural. Mary Ellen Doty, ANP
and owner has transportation and housing arranged for the
provider before they arrive so you simply need to begin working.
Bush Alaska presents many
challenges and Mary Ellen knows by experience what those
challenges are as she has worked in many of those clinics
herself, which leads to the support you will receive from her
while you are in an assignment. Her accountant Peggy is also very supportive and kind during the
orientation process for timesheets and the salary
reimbursements. No question is too annoying.
Lower 48 staffing companies don't
understand the challenges faced by the practitioners in bush
Alaska, but Wilderness Medical Staffing does, end of story. ..
Kathy Sterner
"Mary Ellen and the crew at Wilderness Medical Staffing
have opened many doors for me professionally, affording me and
my family an intimate connection with native and non- native
villages throughout interior Alaska. Sure it has been a
privilege to provide healthcare to some really interesting
people, but for me the rewards are the friendships earned, and
it is so easy with Wilderness Medical Staffing taking care of
all the travel and logistics."
Greg Sayers, PA- C
"Working with Wilderness Medical Staffing has been a great
experience: A straight up company working conscientiously to
take care of their providers. I have confidence they bring the
best compensation packages possible for each assignment. There
is always a good line-up of locums opportunities, most of which
are in unique, interesting, locations in Alaska. Highly
recommended!" Timothy Jones, PA-C
"I thoroughly enjoy working with Wilderness Medical
Staffing. I have all the benefits of being self-employed
without the billing headaches. Mary Ellen understands the
clinician and client needs. She carefully screens the
opportunities to ensure a great fit. Sheila is a pleasure to
work with for credentials and other documentation."

The Return Flight?
According to new studies, white people are moving back into Detroit proper in increasing numbers for the first time in nearly 60 years.
The survey, more estimate than precise numbers, shows that the percentage of white, non-Hispanic Detroiters rose from 8.4% of the city's population in 2008 to 13.3% last year.
Much of the rise can be pegged to younger white people -- along with some empty nesters -- moving to the city, even as African Americans continue to leave for the suburbs.
Apparently, the city is "cool" again.
I'm sure the report will inspire any number of cynical sentiments, from the fear by blacks that whites are "taking back" the city to befuddlement by whites about why anyone (especially any white family) would want to move to Detroit. Me, I'm not sure what the real implications of the study are, if there are any at all. (I certainly don't mean to turn a statistical molehill into some grand philosophical mountain.) Hell, it's probably just reflective of how many more young white people realize how soul-draining suburbia can be — and just how broke many of these small municipalities are going.
But I do know that racial isolation and antipathy have done more to hamstring this region's progress than all of our failed public policies put together. It is at the root of our uneasiness about everything from a refurbished Cobo Hall to an authentic, big-city public transit system. Sure, we give a lot of lip service to working across the lines that divide us, especially race, but concrete investments like relocating to the city or buying a home here put teeth behind those lips.
In explaining white flight from Detroit, Coleman Young once said, "White people find it extremely hard to live in an environment they don't control." And I think he was right, too. But despite what others may believe, blips like these don't suggest that hard-fought black political power in Detroit is in jeopardy (unless it's from the black political power brokers who so easily sell out the city's best interests). Further, with declining population and tattered tax rolls, Detroit is fast slipping from anyone's control.
Given this, there's one word that immediately comes to mind as an adequate response to the reports that, even in the face of our festering problems, a few more folks of any stripe are embracing life in the city.

Cayman Islands Hotels
Are you looking for an active and adventurous vacation? Then the Cayman Islands, made up of three islands — Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac — are your kind of destination. So if hiking, swimming, diving, snorkeling, sailing, playing a round of golf or getting up close and personal with stingrays are on your agenda, the Cayman Islands has you covered. Many travelers say Seven Mile Beach is one of the best Caribbean beaches, and when you go there and see its beauty from the shore and while snorkeling, you'll agree with those travelers. Mastic Trail is for nature enthusiasts. Take to the trail with a tour guide or on your own and wind through a swamp, wooded area and some colorful island plants. Bloody Bay Wall is a famous scuba diving spot, and while it's typically crowded, visit Hell for the chance to say you've been there and to send relatives a postcard from Hell. Stingray City and Cayman Turtle Farm are two places letting you observe and interact with all kinds of marine life. Both offer one-of-a-kind experiences to people of every age.
