Till We Meet Again
Mitch Miller
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu When the clouds roll by, I'll come to you Then the skies will seem more blue Down in lovers lane, my deary Wedding bells will ring so merrily Every tear will be a memory So wait and pray each night for me Till we meet again So wait and pray each night for me Till we meet again Till we meet again Down in lover's lane Wait and pray each night for me

Royal boost for UK Olympic teamComment on this story
London - Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter Zara Phillips has been nominated as part of the UK team for the London Olympics, the British Equestrian Federation said.
The 31-year-old won the coveted spot after a string of strong performances, particularly a third-place finish at Bramham last weekend on her horse, High Kingdom.
"It's awesome to be given this opportunity," Phillips said in a statement on Monday. "I am really excited and can't wait to kick on and get him there."
Phillips will be following in the footsteps of her parents - Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips - both of whom competed for Britain in the Olympics.
The nomination caps a long journey for Phillips, 14th in line to the throne. She won the World Championship in 2006, and was honoured by the queen, becoming a Member of the Order of the British Empire. Phillips was also chosen the BBC Sport Personality of the year.
She was selected to compete for the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Toytown, an exceptional horse which became injured just before the moment of glory dawned.
In the years since, Phillips suffered a dry spell, only to come charging back on a new horse last year. Just a few months ago, she was considered a long shot for the Olympic team, but has been consistent and on an upward trajectory.
"She's right up there with the best in the world," said Lucy Higginson, the editor of the equestrian publication, Horse & Hound.
Phillips competes in three-day eventing, a gruelling sport that combines the disciplines of dressage, show jumping and cross country. Her horse is High Kingdom, a 16.2 hands high bay gelding that in recent weeks has helped her turn in consistent performances, including the strong third place finish at Bramham.
Higginson said High Kingdom, a thoroughbred, has great speed, an advantage on the London Olympic course at Greenwich.
"She's renowned for being quick," Higginson said of Phillips. "She can handle pressure."
Phillips described her horse as "a pretty cool, very relaxed kind of guy".
"I was really happy with him at Bramham as he had obviously grown up and is improving all the time," she said. "He's pretty pony-like, a nippy little jumper and easy to manoeuvre, so hopefully it will suit him well in Greenwich.
Her mother, Princess Anne, competed at the 1976 Montreal Games, while her father was a team gold medallist at Munich in 1972 and then won silver in Seoul 16 years later.
But make no mistake. Her parents and family or no, Phillips and the equestrian world had been adamant that she would be chosen only on merit. She had to prove herself - just like anyone else.
That's because Britain wants to win - and it normally does well in equestrian events.
Phillips has been chosen alongside William Fox-Pitt, Mary King, Piggy French and Tina Cook. - Sapa-AP

This week's new music feature goes to Colton Dixon and his newest tune "More of You". Click the pic above to give it a listen! The song gets it's foundation from Matthew 16:26. In this verse the Bible talks about someone gaining the whole world just to lose their soul. This was the message that Colton wanted embedded in this latest tune. The chorus goes on to sing,
"More of you, less of me, make who I need to be – you're all I want, all I need, you're everything. God take it all, I surrender, be my King. God I choose more of you and less of me."
In all, the song really talks about building up your own kingdom only to realize that you need it taken away so that God can fill you with His desires and His plans for your life. Just a little insight from Colton Dixon for you!

|The Effect of Manganese-induced Cytotoxicity on mRNA Expressions of HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70 and HSP90 in Chicken Spleen Lymphocytes in Vitro.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 24081778 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of manganese (Mn)-induced cytotoxicity on heat shock proteins in chicken spleen lymphocytes. Lymphocytes were cultured in medium in the absence and presence of MnCl2 (2 × 10(-4), 4 × 10(-4), 6 × 10(-4), 8 × 10(-4), 10 × 10(-4), and 12 × 10(-4) mmol/L) for 12, 24, 36, and 48 h in vitro. Then, the mRNA levels of HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 were examined by real-time quantitative PCR. The results showed that the mRNA levels of HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 in all treatment groups at all time points, except mRNA levels of HSP27 at 48 h, had the same tendency. As manganese concentration increased, the mRNA expression of the heat shock proteins first increased and then decreased. In other words, we demonstrated that the mRNA expression of the heat shock proteins was induced at lower concentrations of manganese and was inhibited at higher concentrations. Mn had a dosage-dependent effect on HSP27, HSP40, HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 mRNA expression in chicken spleen lymphocytes in vitro.

Weekend Assignment #208 - Spring!
Weekend Assignment #208: Meteorologists define spring in the Northern Hemisphere as beginning March 1st; others define it according to the vernal equinox, the return of warm weather, or the appearance of a groundhog's shadow. What does spring mean to you, and what, if anything, do you intend to do about it?
I live in a locale where the arrival of spring doesn't really announce itself much. Coastal Southern California mostly eases into and out of changes in the weather. If it's a good and/or lucky winter, that's our rainy season; things dry out as we move into April. But if we have had rain, we get to see green hillsides, and it's nice to have that before the long warm, dry season that we call "summer" here turns it all brown. Any trees that actually did lose their leaves back in the autumn start to blossom again and get their leaves back, which heralds "allergy season" out here, as I think it does in most other places.
One thing I particularly like about spring's arrival is the longer hours of daylight, even if they are artificially accelerated by Daylight Savings Time (which now covers 2/3 of the year, so it's more the norm than "standard" time - hmmm). I appreciate being able to make both ends of my daily commute in the light, and later sunsets allow us to take a nearby trail on Gypsy's evening walks.
Spring means a change of clothing. In colder climates, people are advised to wear layers in the winter, but here they're a good idea in spring too. The low humidity here can contribute to fairly large temperature swings over the course of the day, and a day that starts out chilly can reach 80 degrees by afternoon. You'll definitely want to leave the house with a jacket, but you'll probably be carrying it around later on. For me, the warming trend also means I'll be wearing boots less of the time.
At work, spring is probably our busiest time, and that's because of the annual visit of the auditors. If we're lucky, it doesn't last too long and it's uneventful.
But for me, the biggest sign of spring is - and I bet you won't be surprised - my birthday, which is coming up this Saturday! The end of March has always been birthday season in my family, really - my dad, mom and I are all within a six-day period. And no matter where I've lived - even in places where it's snowed on my birthday and the leaves didn't start coming out until May - this has always been the case for me.
What does spring mean to you?
3 comments :
I like spring, even if it means my allergies and sinuses act up even more than they usually do.ReplyDelete
I like the sound of the neighborhood children playing outside in the evenings (thanks to the sunlight) and being able to open the windows and not worry about cold or hot air coming in.
My dog likes that he gets to go on more walks this time of year--and spend more time outdoors.
Spring also means the start of the baseball season. :-)
I like the idea of no cold, snowy winters, but I wonder if I would miss them if we moved to a warmer climate.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean about the low humidity. I was in New Mexico in April once and the temperature swings were quite dramatic.
I hope you get the rain you need out there. I know it's important in that region, and green hills are much nicer to look at.
Literary Feline - I like being able to have the windows open, too. But we live right near the train station and sometimes it's a bit noisy.ReplyDelete
Baseball season - yes! We are actually going to get to a Dodgers game this year. It's not till July, but we have the tickets! :-)
Mike - I do miss having more defined seasons sometimes, but if we want snow in the winter, it's not far away.
I hope we're not done with rain yet. We got a fairly decent amount this winter, but could use more. Sometimes we get rain all the way into May, but it's kind of unusual.
Now it's YOUR turn - speak your piece, please! Or just let me know you were here; I always like that. But you'll have to leave a name - I've disallowed anonymous comments due to some recent spam problems. Thanks!

Metronidazole 42 42
Great My dog take Atopica for skin problems and she has been on this drug for about 2 years and I finally figured out after researching that this drug can cause bowel disorders. So I give my dog (beagle) 1/2 tab morning and night and her bowels are a bit firmer. 12/01/2014
A miracle! My 12yr old chocolate lab was beginning to have chronic diarrhea. We thought she had a bug and put her on it for a week. It worked for that week and soon as she was off, it came back. So she is on a maintenance dose of one in the morning and half at night! What a difference for the better! And she seems happy and always has an appetite! 11/30/2014
Metronidazole came to my rescue! I have two small dogs (yorkie & shih tzu). Both came down with terrible diarrhea and vomiting. I tried all the at home remedies, and nothing helped. On the 3rd day I gave up and took the dogs to see their vet. He prescribed Metronidazole. It all cleared up within a day and my pups were back to normal. My vet even gave me extra for when my pups occasionally need it. Definitely worth it! 11/26/2014
Good This product keeps the ailment under control but does not eliminate the problem. However, my dog has cronic bowel disorder so I can only keep it under control and the dog comfortable. 09/13/2014
order I do everything possible to take care of my baby. He has a very weak stomach so these pills help so he doesn't get dehydrated. Thank you! 05/30/2014

LETTER: Letter about homosexuality was misleading
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Lou Tambasco, San Angelo
Letter was misleading
I would like to address two statements in Wednesday's letter, "Try to be more Christ-like." Taken together they are highly misleading.
The two statements in question are "Take his (Jesus) words only as God's law" and "He did not speak of homosexuality." The writer seems to suggest that since Jesus did not engage in a discourse about homosexuality he gives his tacit approval of the lifestyle.
That is far from truth and one does not have to dig too deep into the Bible to learn what his take on the matter really is.
If one reads Matthew 5 it will become very clear that Jesus fully accepts the law entirely. He goes as far as saying, "Every law in the Book will continue until its purpose is achieved." That includes Leviticus, which is well known for its negative stance on the gay lifestyle.
The following is a quote from Jesus as recorded in Mark 5-17. The context is concerning marriage. "From the beginning of creation God made them male and female." This statement and others deny Jesus' acceptance of gay marriage.
Jesus personally recruited Paul on the road to Damascus. Later Jesus stated, "Paul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the nations and before kings." What that statement meant is that Paul's words carried the full authority of Jesus himself.
In Corinthians 7-1 Paul states, "to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband." Clearly what Paul is saying here is that sex outside of marriage is sinful and marriage (as God intended it) is between a man and a woman.
The Bible has much more to say on the topic but I have no intention of "harping" all night. However, I am convinced of one thing: It is folly to attempt to reconcile the homosexual lifestyle and the Bible.

My iOS 5 wishlist
Sure the next iPhone will be exciting, but I most anticipate the next version of iOS.
The first iPhone debuted in 2007. The operating system was groundbreaking at launch. Updates each year have brought exciting new features including push notifications and more options for apps to integrate with the phone.
But now, five years after the debut of iOS, I see a need for a major overhaul of the operating system.
Here's my wish list, inspired by a MacRumor discussion. * Shows my most-wanted improvements.
*Better looks: iOS looked cool and flashy at launch, but I'm growing tired of the light blue and pinstripes
*Push notification management / Manager bar: A bar at the top of the screen that you can drag down (like in the Android OS) that lets you change various Settings (rather than putting this at the bottom in the multi-tasking bar) such as Brightness, Volume and Orientation lock. This bar would include a history of notifications. Touching a notification would take you to the related action in an app. Option to hide all notifications.
*Faster processing: The various animations between functions all add up to a frustrating experience – particularly if you start paying close attention. Why do I need to see the homescreen zoom in every time I open the phone?
*Dynamically-updated app icons: One of the coolest apps out there is Calvetica. But, the app is forced to show today's date by using the badge counter. Sure, it works – but wouldn't it be better if the icon could actually change every day? This is inspired, in part, by the latest Windows Mobile system that lets you quickly glance at your screen and see what you need to know – rather than forcing users to spend time going into each app to understand why a badge counter showed up (or worse, no badge at all and you have to manually check to see what is new).
*Dashboard: I'd like the option to use and customize a dashboard. Something that quickly shows me what I need to know – without the need of opening the apps. I'd like for this to be the lock screen and maybe it could scroll vertically or horizontally to allow for whatever I want to see, including the time, date, my next three upcoming calendar appointments, the latest 3 mail message subject lines, weather, to-do items, missed calls, etc.
One central scanner: An Apple-made app that can scan barcodes and QR codes. Sure there are free apps out there, but it would be great if the camera app added this as an option and then you could be sent to the applicable app – be it a calorie counter, Safari, Twitter or something else. I'd be ridiculously excited if there was also a text scanner that could convert images into text that could be pasted into any app.
*Wireless sync: I'd love to be able to sync to my phone to my Mac without a cord.
Custom SMS tones: For a good laugh check out the alert section in Settings. Apple added sounds beyond the traditional six, but they all make me laugh. Come on – please find a way to be able to add or create custom alert sounds without rooting.
*App and screen manager: Allow for side-scrolling within a folder so you can add more than 12 apps per folder (less repeating of folder genres). Allow users to choose an image to use as the icon for folders (rather than showing mini-images of the apps within the folder). Let users also modify the icons of any app.
*Automatically push application updates: Have application updates for my apps get pushed to my device and alert me via the app icon and on my dashboard.
Documents manager: Could function similar to the Camera Roll that is embedded in the Camera app. Would be particularly useful for iPads. Could offer auto-backup to iDisk or your choice (Dropbox, SugarSync).
*Voice command mode: Make it easy for users to operate the phone via voice. Improve the voice recognition. Allow apps to integrate with this. Would be a great opportunity for Apple to market the new operating system as making it easier for people to be safe drivers while still using the phone. Let users use the manager bar (idea below) to turn the phone into "Drive" mode to make everything voice-activated. Automatically turn off the voice-activation mode while talking on the phone (so you don't say "off" on a phone call and the phone turns off).
Improved keyboard: Look at making a Swype competitor – the No. 1 thing I wish I had on my iPhone.
Live wallpapers: Wallpapers that change throughout the day with more available for sale from the iTunes App Store.
Allow FaceTime over 3G/4G: This is on the carriers but it should still happen if they want FaceTiming to be the next big thing and if they want to remain competitive over Android devices.
*Allow app downloads and installs in the background: I cannot stand downloading an app or an app update, getting forced to "watch" the download and then I have to navigate back to look at other apps or app updates.
Kill all background apps: Option in Settings to kill all apps currently running in the background.
*Improve Game Center: Require all "Game Center" apps to include achievements and/or leaderboards, improve the load time (so, in part, that people can use Game Center as an easy game launcher). Add a Game Center tab in the iTunes App Store so you can see only Game Center-enabled apps by category and rating and downloads and most recent.
Better mail app: Option to "star" or bookmark e-mails. If you are offline and cannot send a message add it to a queue of actions to perform once back online. Option to create and use an HTML-based signature. Option to add content such as photos from within the Mail app rather than only from the Camera Roll.
Better calendar app: Option to choose the color per calendar type. Improved "day" view that looks like an agenda for faster viewing, turn phone horizontal to see a week-agenda-view of your calendar (like in Calvetica).
Better camera app: Separate the camera roll from the camera so that you can still have lots of photos and the camera takes much less time to load. In the Camera Roll app automatically add links to all the user's photo manipulation and manager apps. From the Camera app automatically add links to all the user's photo-taking apps.
Better iPod app: iTunes Cloud. Access to all your music without downloading the music to your device. Should include the option to star certain music as available Offline. Ability to delete, rename and add news songs form your iPhone and it automatically syncs back to your iTunes. Built-in AM/FM tuner (especially good for emergencies when you need to tap into the public service emergency stations).
Better Phone and Messaging apps: Option to add photos for your favorites for faster visual recognition and dialing. Auto-response option when in "drive" mode.
Better YouTube app: Option in Setting so that videos can play within Safari on the page rather than always opening the YouTube app. Options to like or dislike videos. Ability to comment. A tab of recommended videos for the specific user.
Better Safari app: Option for apps to connect with Safari by adding extensions/plugins such as bookmarking services, enable Flash, etc.
Option to hide or remove pre-loaded apps: Not everyone owns Stocks. Letting users hide or remove the stock apps means someone could only have their own apps of choice and not have a folder of unwanted apps.

Trent Richardson Wants to Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Cleveland
by Robert Littal | Posted on Tuesday, July 3rd, 2012
Richardson has the right attitude.
Unfortunately in today's NFL a running back can only do so much. He could run for 1700 yards and it won't matter unless the quarterback position is stabilized in Cleveland.
With that being said his frame of mind is in the right place.
"I want to be the best thing that ever happened to Cleveland," Richardson told Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com last week at the Rookie Symposium. "I want to be that type of all-time guy when it comes down to it."

text: The Rodland wiki last edited by ReverendHunt on 07/23/14 01:38AM View full history Overview Title screen of the home versionRodland was orignally released for the arcades, but was made for several other home systems and computers. The arcade version differs greatly from the home versions because it features better graphics and many more levels. The arcade essentially featured a sequel of Rodland upon completion of the game. It feels like a sequel because it features even better visuals and many original levels. The home consoles and computers never received a version of Rodland featuring the sequel. Plot Tam and Rit holding the Rods of SheesanomoFairies Tam and Rit find out that their mother has been kidnapped by evil monsters. They are each granted with magical wands, called the Rods of Sheesanomo, that give them powers. With their new powers they can defeat the monsters and rescue their kidnapped mother. Gameplay Gameplay resembles many platformers of the timeRodland is an action platformer where you play as fairies Tam and Rit. Each level is featured entirely on one screen, and the levels are populated with monsters. The goal is to simply to defeat all the enemies on screen using tricks and the magic wands. The magic wands can only stun the monsters, but once they are stunned you can kill them. The fairies navigate levels by running along multiple platforms that are connected by ladders. There are ladders in each level, but the player can also create ladders. Every time you create a ladder the previous one disappears which allows opportunities to dispose of enemies. Bonus Levels The arcade version featured a sequel with a new story, levels and visuals, but the gameplay stayed largely the same. In the sequel you still play as Tam and Rit, but this time they are out to avenge their father's death. Tam and Rit travel through a pyramid where the enemy that killed their father rests. Throughout the game they are guided by the ghost of their father for help in the game.

|Home based exercise therapy for older patients with knee osteoarthritis: a randomized clinical trial.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10990236 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: This 8 week randomized, double blind clinical trial compared the effect of a combined home based progressive exercise program and treatment with the nonsteroidal medication oxaprozin to treatment with oxaprozin alone on pain and physical functioning in older community dwelling patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS: Efficacy variables measured before and after 8 weeks included (1) pain using the Western Ontario McMaster (WOMAC) pain, physical disability, and stiffness subscales and a 10 point visual analog scale (VAS) before and after self-paced walking (SPW) and stepping (SPS) functional tasks; (2) physical function using the time to complete a self-paced 40 m walk (SPW) and 20 cycles of 2 steps (SPS): (3) physical activity level using the Physical Activity Scale for Elderly (PASE); (4) clinical measures of knee functioning (range of motion). One hundred seventy-nine men and women (mean age 74 +/- 6 yrs) with radiographic evidence of mild/moderate medial compartment OA were randomized to either a progressive home based knee exercise program (n = 88) or a control program (n = 89). All patients were given oxaprozin 1,200 mg per os daily. RESULTS: We observed significant reduction from baseline in activity related pain (VAS); and improvement in SPW and SPS test time, passive range of motion, and PASE after 8 weeks in both groups. These changes were significantly greater (p < 0.05) in the exercise versus sham group. CONCLUSION: Addition of a progressive exercise program to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory therapy in patients with knee OA can improve measures of activity and activity related pain more than medication alone.

Best practice for i18n/locale selection?

Hello everyone,
I want to add locale (language) selection to my Servlet/JSP-based web site and like to hear about any i18n best practices or pointers there.
- If the user visits for the first time, the Accept-Language header of the
request should be used for determining a default locale. The user can either keep that default or make another selection on the web page.
- If the user selects another locale, he does so be clicking on a link that is present on any page of the web site. This action should only switch the locale, not the user location on the site map. For example, if the user was reading a specific entry in the guestbook, he should continue reading that entry but the navigational controls should appear in the newly selected language.
- The selected locale should be persistant:
* If the user is logged in, the user selected locale should be stored and loaded from the user database.
* If the user is not logged in, the selected locale should be stored and loaded from the session context.
* If the client cannot handle sessions, it looks like there is no way to persist the locale.
- I want to make extensive use of the JSTL (
Standard Tag Library) for localizing my web pages:
* <fmt:bundle> should work without prior initialization.
* A construct like <c:if test="${locale == 'xx'}"> should also work (is there any better alternative?).
- Of course, the implementation has to be robust, performant, scalable, ...
I'd like you to share any thoughts about how you would implement these requirements.
More specifically,
- would you implement a servlet filter that is invoked prior to any resource in the web application, persisting the locale? Do any standard implementations of such a filter exist?
- is it a good idea to create an action Servlet/JSP with a backurl for selecting the locale? (/locale_selection?locale=xx&backurl=<came from this page>
The action servlet could do the necessary modifications and then silently redirect the user to the "backurl".
I agree. Here's the link:

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Bounty Hunter Pioneer 501
Metal Detector
with 8" Open Search Coil
You get much more when you buy your Bounty Hunter metal detector from KELLYCO Metal Detector Superstore!
All the Right Stuff for your Treasure Hunt!
After two years of trying to obtain this outstanding metal detector, we have finally secured a few hundred that are brand new and in special boxes. We're not sure if we can obtain anymore at these discounted prices. Buy now at our introductory price.
When you hunt with the best equipment you find more treasure and have more fun – the Pioneer 501 is the right stuff for a fun-filled and exciting hunt!
The Pioneer 501 is the introduction metal detector of this series and like its big brothers, the Pioneer 503 and Pioneer 505 Professional, it is built to last. Find coins and rings that are hidden beneath the surface with ease – this detector was made to be easy, fun and accurate!
With many standard metal detectors, you spend time adjusting controls to get the best performance and, if the settings aren't right, you will definitely get bad results. The Pioneer 501 solves all this. Its automatic features let you just turn it on and immediately start hunting. And with the Pioneer 501, you get features few other detector offers - at a price that may surprise you.
Notch Mode for easy adjustments to find more Gold!
A very unique adjustable notch mode allows the treasure hunter to adjust to a higher level of trash rejection without losing nickels and small gold items. With the Pioneer 501 you can hunt in high-trash sites simultaneously rejecting the trash without missing many of the smaller, gold targets!
Like the other Pioneers, the 501 is lightweight and made from rugged
ABS and aluminum.
It features an LCD meter to clearly display what you've located and has three modes of operation. The audio for the 501 is also exceptional and it features Bounty Hunters rock-solid, 5 year warranty.
Target I.D. metering system for fast recovery of good Targets!
The Pioneer 501's Target Identification system will help you identify many of the coins and rings buried in the ground. Special Multiple Target ID segments makes it even easier and faster to recover your treasure finds!
It's a Snap to operate.
The Pioneer 501 is easy to operate, even for the novice. The easy-to-read coin target ID meter gives you critical information at a glance. The rugged housing resists impact and hard use, and the whole family can get involved!
Why did they add a 4" Search coil to the Pioneer 501 Professional?
A most outstanding search coil used to find coins in trashy areas where larger search coils simply do not work well. Larger search coils locate multiple trash targets tuning out single treasures. The 4 inch search coil efficiently separates targets tuning out and eliminating unwanted trash while still indicating most good treasures. Larger search coils find it difficult to be used in tight spots. The 4 inch search coil can easily slide through plants, shrubbery, roots, and can be used close to metal buildings, under grandstands, and sidewalks. The 4 inch search coil is outstanding for finding smaller items like thin rings, small gold items, and even gold nuggets.
- Deepest Seeking Detection
- Detect large objects up to 5 feet deep. Coins up to 11 inches deep
- Sees through solid rock, dirt, mud, sand, cement and water. If it is there, Bounty Hunter will find it.
- 3 Modes of operation
- Motion All-Metals
- Discrimination
- Notch
- Automatic Ground Balance
- Sees through the earth's naturally occurring minerals
- Automatically scans the soil in the Motion Modes and continuously adjusts to changing soil conditions.
- 4 Level, Progressive Iron Discrimination
- Tune out small ferrous items while still detecting valuable iron relics and collectibles
- Target Identification
- Change modes quickly and easily
- 3-Tone Target Identification
- Different types of metals induce different tones. Low tone for iron, nickel and small gold.
- Medium tone for zinc, large gold and most trash
- High tone silver and copper
- Full Discrimination and Notching Capability
- Disc/Notch control allows user to detect or reject a range of metals
- You decide what to detect and which unwanted metals to ignore
- Easy to operate (no tools needed)
- Operating frequency 6.8 Khz
- Super lightweight: 2.8 lbs
- Operates with two 9 volt batteries (not included)
- Five year limited warranty
- Made in the USA

Author has written 9 stories for Inuyasha, Fruits Basket, and Harry Potter.
Last update: 4/03/13, 7:04 PM
Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I've updated anything, and I apologize for that. School has made it so I don't write nearly as much as I used to.
If I can get personal for a moment, I just want to say that I may not need to write as much anymore since I have become a much happier person. I used writing and reading as a combination of an escape and a creative outlet. Without the fire of my emotional pain, my writing just isn't as effective a form of expression anymore. I have gotten back into reading fanficiton though, which may inspire me to flesh out the ideas I have from time to time. This time, if I start something, I will write it from start to finish before I post it.
Also a side note, I have lost the remaining chapters of Blind My Eyes, Sew Them Shut, which is why it hasn't been updated. I have since then however found out about Evernote, which allows you to save text, webpages, pictures, and even recordings to an personal online folder that you can access from your phone, computer, or tablet. So I have begun doing any writing there so that there is no way my stuff is getting lost again. (yay!) Especially since my computer just died again... sigh. How many times do I have to replace my music...
Anyway, I hope the school year is treating everyone well, and hopefully I will have my new story out by the beginning of summer. :)
Trailers for BMESTS
Talk to me!
Do you want to talk to me about something? I always respond to PMs, as soon as I can. Message me, or email me:
I Like Your Booty, But I'm Not Gay - (Complete, Harry Potter) Never try to prank Hermione, because she'll go through with it just to prank you. One-shot, of course, and is Dramione fem-slash (my first time doing a fem-slash... or slash in general.) I hope you guys like it - and kudos to anyone who knows where the title came from.
Outhouse - (Complete, Harry Potter) How a trip to the bathroom turns into a huge spectacle. It is Dramione and Humor/Romance, and hopefully it doesn't gross anyone out too much. Once again, kudos to anyone who knows where the title came from.
Nineteen Years - (Complete, Harry Potter) Beta'd by the lovely callarose. Nineteen years later, things were as they were meant to be. Or so it seemed. Dramione of course, and epilogue compliant, which is different. I wanted to portray Hermione as the one who screws things up instead of Draco. Russian translation
Complications, Whatever - (Periodically added to, Harry Potter) Sometimes things get a little complicated. A collection of ideas I've had that may or may not turn into stories or one shots. Once I finish big stories I find that I have a lot of little ideas left over that are perfect to turn into drabbles and one-shots, and this is where those will go.
Full Stories
Blind My Eyes, Sew Them Shut - (On hiatus, Harry Potter) A story about how love can make you never want to use your eyes again. This one is Romance/Action/Adventure, though originally was supposed to be Dark/Romance. Sorry about the wait! I need to recover the lost chapters before I close this one out. I promise the end is coming!
Therapy - (On hiatus, Harry Potter) Change is a nasty business, especially a change of character. And Draco is the worst. Friendship/Drama, since I wanted to stay cannon with this one (so it isn't Dramione, sorry!) But it does focus on Draco and Hermione's characters, and stays true to the epilogue. I will likely continue this one once BMESTS is finished, though some rewriting is in order since this story is getting a little old.
An Impractical Escape - (Beginning stages, Harry Potter) For two people who like to escape a lot, escaping together is not always the optimal choice. Hermione/Pansy. Yes, you read that correctly. This will also be over at Granger Enchanted.
Innocent At Once - (Just an idea for now, Harry Potter) She may know everything about the world, but she knows absolutely nothing about herself, especially where her body is concerned. She definitely doesn't know how to handle it around him. Hermione/Draco. This will probably be a one-shot sugary treat for someone in need of a quick fix. :)

If you want to request something or if you have made something you want displayed here, send me an email or comment. I'm always up for ideas!
Other Notes
In the meantime, please don't read my other fanfics (Modern Medicine Melts the Heart, Without The Rat, The Inopportune Fate Hates Draco) - they are at least seven or eight years old now, and one learns a lot. They are still up for archive purposes, since I hate it when authors take down their old stuff. Maybe someone out there still likes these...

If you have something to say about my stories, do not hesitate to review them. Though I'm not updating right now, I still read every single review that gets posted to every story (they get sent to me email) and I still am excited every time I receive one. Keep telling me what you think!
And thank you so much for everyone's support over the years. I love you guys!

While there is a slight chance of rain showers and sleet before 9 a.m., today appears to be otherwise devoid of the rain/sleet/snow crazy combo of yesterday, the National Weather Service says.
The day will be partly sunny with a high near 42. But it will be breezy, with a north wind 16 to 20 mph with gusts as high as 36 mph.
Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low around 28 and a northeast wind around 6 mph becoming calm after midnight.
Looking a ahead, the next couple of days look pretty decent. Wednesday will be mostly sunny with a high near 48 and Thursday will be partly sunny with a high near 49.
The National Weather Service is warning of a few pockets of minor coastal flooding that may accompany the early afternoon high tide today. Though none of the usual Cape Cod flooding locations are mentioned in the weather service's warning.

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
Another way would be this, in a early TNG episode, Riker says "WE" no longer enslave animals for food, suggesting that incredible progressive and enlightened people in the Federation are all veggies. But later we learn that more than a few people in the future do in fact eat the flesh of the beast. Even Riker himself is seen to eat a mouth full of scrabbled eggs (although some people don't consider eggs to be "meat").
So when Riker said "WE" he didn't mean everyone in the Federation, or even all of Humanity, but (possibly) instead the "WE" mean myself and a selections of others within my society who believe as I do.
And this could be the case with Picard and his no money quote. There could be a select few within Humanity/The Federation who have renounced money and the pursuit of material possessions. Obviously from many examples, the majority of the people featured on the show do not share this philosophical believe system. But some do.
Picard makes as little use of the pay he receives from Starfleet as he possibly can, it mostly just sits in his account. And Picard has very few personal belongings. Not to say he has none, just few.

"Credit systems, tabs, even expense accounts, all existed long before cash. These things are as old as civilization itself." David Graeber - Debt: The First 5,000 Years. page 18.
Doesn't necessarily mean Kirk was going to use money to cover for Uhura's drink.

McCoy (Star Trek Eleven): "The ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I've got left is my bones."
The inference is that the people in the future personally possess items of value, property and money. Which can be removed from them through a legal proceeding, or a pre-existing binding agreement.

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
McCoy was just griping after getting his butt whupped in court. You don't think he really owned a whole planet? And even if he did, then he should be quite self-sufficient from any external economy, though maybe not from a local legal system in his sector. Oh, and you can still have material possessions in a moneyless society as I've already indicated.
"...and that despite endless economic textbooks to the contrary, there has never been an economy based on barter: that actually-existing societies which do not employ money have instead been gift economies in which the distinctions we now make between interest and altruism, person and property, freedom and obligation, simply did not exist." David Graeber - Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology (.17).
Kirk was just making a generous gesture to Uhura.

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
"No money in the 24th century" is just a joke, IMHO. Now, it could be extended a bit... "We don't have money--we have a closed credit system." But how VALUABLE are credits anyway? To me, it looks like when you play within the confines of the Federation, you don't really need much. It's a socialist society. Healthcare is free. Food is essentially free. Replicator "rations" or credits may be dependent upon the quantity or complexity of what you're requesting to have produced, but we're not shown how many credits are needed for whatever thresholds that might be crossed. There's probably a huge apartment system managed by the government that enables basic lodging for free.
But how do you obtain exclusive property? There's always something exclusive or of limited availability in society. Are you bequeathed that by your station or by making some special achievement? How much does the government really own and/or control? If replicators can produce precious metals, then the whole monetary system can't work. People would just replicate platinum and then sell it.
Anyway, this is all within the confines of the Federation. Externally, it's clear that most species have some kind of monetary system and so in order to trade you MUST have some kind of exchange vehicle. Can you trade your Federation credits for something you want to buy from a Ferengi? Maybe you have to get your credits exchanged to latinum first.
Bottom line... Star Trek did a poor job of really explaining how the Federation credit system is supposed to work and how it would interface with extraterrestrial cultures. We've heard inferences about crew members having salary here and there, but we've no idea how much and how it positions them economically. While I know it could've been a powder keg trying to define a monetary system in more detail, I think it would've been possible to do something a little more detailed than what we got.
Remembering Ensign Mallory.

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
Warp drive, transporter, and other devices receive at least a passing explanation. Sometimes composed of technobabble. In FC we saw the first (Human) warp flight. In Enterprise there was a episode about the first (Human) transporter use.
The show is completely lacking in explanation on the 22nd century's "the new economy," or what is meant by "the economy is different."
In the multiple series we get mentions of pay, accounts, bank, credits, buying, selling, etc. It sounds given the vocabulary used that their financial structure is a analogy of our own. If Picard's one time statement is the true picture of the future, what were all of those other Humans (and non-Humans) talking about?

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
Season Two's final episode, "Assignment: Earth". Imagine if the series didn't get renewed for a season three and Assignment: Earth ended up as the original series' last episode. Quite an insult when you consider that it wasn't meant to be a Star Trek episode at all, since Gene made it as an attempt to get a new series started by using Star Trek to make this backdoor pilot.
The Star Trek theme. Gene, as long as your lyrics don't appear in the theme, I will never, EVER credit you for creating the theme. You did not do this to make the theme better, you did just to rip off Alexander Courage. Practice what you preach.
Treatment of women. Sorry, but I don't like a sexist Starfleet, or your idea that a woman who isn't pretty can't have a future. Plus writing that one line "They're like animals" to describe a green skinned woman dancing to music is just bad.
Wesley Crusher. If I was a child actor and I learned years later just how much Gene Roddeberry was attached to Wesley as a character, I would feel almost violated. Think about it. The whole point of Wesley's character was to fulfill some old guy's self-important ego. Ick!
Canon. Oh, for god's sake Gene. It's a story written by a writer endorsed by the studio with your name on it. Just because it's not on film doesn't mean it's not a story worthy to be acknowledged.
Killing Tasha Yar. This could have been handled a whole let better Gene. A LOT BETTER.

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
We can't *really* explain warp drive, transporters, replicators, or their effect on economy and use/non-use of money. All of this stuff is bullshit.
But if we take something now impossible, and pretend it is true in fiction, we create a kind of equation which is played out in the show itself. Remove the lofty aim, and you lose the spirit of things. Star Trek is supposed to be inspiring, and a future of abundance is part of that.

Re: Roddenberry's Worst Ideas
As for the Orion dance scene, IIRC, a line was cut before the pilot was shown to NBC -- something like "every now and then a man comes along who can tame one of them." So it could have been worse!

Vendée Globe 2012-2013, an around the world race for single handed sailors, will start from Les Sables d'Olonne on Saturday 10th November 2012.
Saffran relaunch - Vendée Globe 2012
Safran was relaunched on Friday 16th March after a three month refit. This is an important stage, which is both technical and symbolic: Today the big Safran monohull was put back in the water and her mast was stepped in La Trinité-sur-Mer. Marc Guillemot and his team now have eight months ahead of them before the start of the Vendée Globe. Eight months to prepare. And from now on, that means out on the water.
Saffran relaunch - Vendée Globe 2012
Everything went well: the cranes and gantries did their work to the nearest millimetre in the service area in the harbour in La Trinité-sur-Mer. The whole of the Safran Sailing Team were present for this event to take care of the boat they have been working on for three months. 'This is the nice bit,' commented Marc Guillemot. 'To put it simply, after a winter, during which a lot of work had to be done in the sheds at the yard, we're now back in the water, out on the sea and riding over the waves again. So, now we're going to be able to train before tackling our race schedule. For the whole team, which did such a fantastic job this winter, this is a highly symbolic moment.'
Marc summed up what has been happening during this long winter refit: 'In general, we've done some cosmetic surgery on the boat after the incident with PRB and Virbac-Paprec at the start of the Transat B to B, in Saint Barth. We had some repair work to do and then she had to be painted, and of course, we've also tried to make some minor improvements.' Without going into all the details, as these remain confidential, 'We made some improvements to the ballast system, to be able to get the most out of the boat with the Vendée Globe coming up. On paper it may look like a small detail, but it involved a huge amount of work, as the ballast tanks are part of a complicated system, with all the plumbing, the pipes going through the bulkheads, etc. We also did some work on the mast, the communications system, the keel…' The guiding principle? 'To ensure the reliability of everything that has worked well, while carrying out improvements on the other parts. Making her even more reliable is also a way to improve her performance. We once again made weight savings, but also improved the righting moment in some points of sail, for example.'
What lies ahead now will firstly involve carrying out the final class tests, in other words, making sure that following these modifications, the boat is still within the IMOCA class rules. This is done each year, and should not pose any specific problem, as the improvements that were made were carried out with this in mind. Then, of course, Safran will be back out there sailing. Marc Guillemot: 'We shall be out training to adjust the mast, which has just been stepped. Then, from next week on, we'll be carrying out sail tests.'

A valued friend of Lourdes College, Dorothy Price is a patron of the arts and education in the northwest Ohio region and has been a supporter of the Toledo Museum of Art, the Toledo Symphony, the Toledo Metroparks and other non-profit organizations.
"I appreciate and believe in institutions that are dedicated to helping others through the arts and education," offers Dorothy. "It is imperative that when people prosper, they give to good community organizations like Lourdes College."
"I was a little country girl," reflects Dorothy. "My parents didn't go to college. My father was a patternmaker and his business saw him through the height of the Great Depression.
"We had cattle and a garden that allowed us to be self-sufficient. Even though they never had the privilege to attend college, my parents believed strongly in education."
Dorothy graduated with her bachelor's degree and worked as a secretary for several years. Considering herself to be a person with many blessings, it was through her generosity that the University of Toledo's Department of Music established the Dorothy Mackenzie Price Piano Series that recognizes musicians in and around the northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan regions.
It was art that brought Dorothy close to Lourdes College. "I was aware of the strong art program at Lourdes as well as the reputable collection of works that Mother Adelaide Sandusky acquired," adds Dorothy. "When I learned of their art catalogue project, I knew I wanted to assist them with this endeavor."
Dorothy provided the necessary funds to begin this painstaking "labor of love" in 2005. To date, nearly 1,400 pieces of art have been catalogued. The goal is to house the catalogue on the Duns Scotus Library's web pages.
Her love of art extends beyond this region. Dorothy's former father-in-law traveled on several occasions in the '60s to assist people in war-torn Sierra Leone, Africa. After one visit, he brought back a series of paintings created by native artists.
These works of art are known as the "feather paintings." When Dorothy learned of the atrocities that these people faced, she became committed to building awareness of Sierra Leone and Rwanda, Africa.
Earlier this year, Dorothy lent the "feather paintings" to Lourdes College. "We are honored to have this beautiful artwork to share with the Lourdes community," adds Mary Arquette, Vice President for Institutional Advancement. "Through Dorothy's generosity, our students and alumni will be able to view not only these lovely paintings but also learn about the history of these countries through books supplied by Dorothy."
To learn more about the culture and people of Africa, contact the Duns Scotus Library at 419-824-3761 or email@example.com.

Motorola Connect, Motorola Migrate apps out before Moto X launch
updated 11:33 am EDT, Thu August 1, 2013
Apps to back up data, manage text messages surface online
Software tools for the Moto X have appeared online, ahead of the smartphone's launch later today. The previously-leaked Motorola Migrate Android app and the Motorola Connect extension for Google Chrome are all available to download, with Motorola Connect showing that it will also function with the Droid Ultra, Mini, and Maxx smartphones launched late last month.
Spotted by Android Police, the Connect Chrome extension will allow Droid and Moto X owners to see call logs and text messages on their computer, via Chrome notifications. It will also allow users to send text messages from within the browser itself, though making and answering calls will still require direct interaction with the mobile device.
Motorola Migrate will allow a user to transfer data from their old smartphone to the new device. Extending what Google already synchronizes themselves, the app will transfer contacts stored on SIM cards, media files, call histories, text messages, and screen settings.

Honduran Permanent Residency and Special Permanent Residency
Citizen Services
Honduran Permanent Residency and Special Permanent Residency
U.S. citizens who wish to live legally in Honduras for extended periods must receive permission from the Honduran government. There are two options: Permanent Residency and Special Permanent Residency. The Ministry of Government and Justice (Secretaria de Gobernacion y Justicia) is the Honduran governmental entity that oversees immigration issues.
Remember, foreigners who are in the country illegally can be subject to fines or other penalties and may be denied the right to leave until those penalties are satisfied.
Permanent Residency is available for people who wish to live in Honduras for the long term. Special Permanent Residency is for those people who are in Honduras for a limited amount of time and for a specific reason, like employment or missionary work.
We have detailed a few of the requirements to obtain residency in this handout, but we caution you that obtaining residency can be a complicated and lengthy process. To be successful, we recommend the following:
Hire a Honduran lawyer with expertise and experience in residency requirements.
Make sure all of the required documents are in order before submitting your residency request. Delays in gathering the documents may result in having your petition dismissed and you will have to start over.
All supporting documents need to be translated into Spanish. Official documents from U.S. governmental agencies need to be authenticated (through apostilles) in the U.S.
Initiate the process in Honduras. Applications are only accepted in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. Some Honduran consulates in the states may offer some residency services, but generally the work has to be redone.

The Unidad de Atención al Ciudadano is the unit within the Ministry of Government and Justice that handles Permanent Residency applications. All applications for a permanent residence must be filed by a local attorney.

Special Permanent Residence Permits
The Honduran Immigration Service (Dirección General de Migracion y Extranjeria) is the unit within the Ministry of Government and Justice that handles Special Permanent Residency Permits.
