Product Description
Episode One, "The Enemy Within," continues the SG-1 pilot, with the discovery that officer Kawalsky (Jay Acavone) is now the enslaved host of a Goa'uld larvae--a snakelike parasite from Abydos that has seized control of Kawalski's nervous system. Only an elaborate surgical procedure can save Kawalski's life, and the SG-1 loyalty of Teal'c (Christopher Judge)--a former enemy from Abydos who is also a Goa'uld host--is put to the test.
Episode Two, "Emancipation," guest-stars Soon-Tek Oh as the leader of the Shavadai, a Mongolian-like tribe on the planet Simarka, where the SG-1 Unit has arrived via the Stargate to begin their first expedition. The Shavadai view women as subservient and submissive, so the presence of SG-1 Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) causes an instant--and, for Carter, potentially deadly--uproar. This episode offers an enjoyable balance of humor and suspense, and establishes Tapping as a witty sparring partner for Anderson. --Jeff Shannon

Israel to free 550 Palestinians in Shalit swap

Israel is set to release 550 Palestinian prisoners in the second stage of a deal with Hamas that brought home soldier Gilad Shalit after five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip.
While many of the 450 prisoners freed on October 18 in the first phase of the Egyptian-brokered exchange were serving life sentences for deadly attacks, none in the second group was convicted of killings.
Israel's Supreme Court opened the way for the December 18 release to go ahead by turning down a petition on December 16 from Israelis opposed to freeing the prisoners, whose terms ranged from a few months to 18 years.
Shalit was kidnapped in June 2006 by militants who tunneled into Israel from the Gaza Strip and surprised his tank crew, killing two of his comrades.
He was held in the Hamas-controlled territory until his release two months ago.

ST. LOUIS -- This was another bizarre ending at Busch Stadium. But instead of stunned silence inside the visiting clubhouse, the Cubs cranked up the Bob Marley music and yelled at the TV while watching the NBA Finals.
The game-ending runner's interference call went their way on Tuesday night, and the Cubs hung on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2. For all the good vibes in the room, Starlin Castro definitely had a problem with pinch-runner Shane Robinson, who had taken a hard, wide slide and stuck out his right leg.
"I understand where you can try to break up the double play in that kind of situation, but not like that," Castro said. "(That was) not even close. I couldn't throw the ball because he tried to kill me."
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny went out to talk with second-base umpire Fieldin Culbreth but afterward told reporters it was a good call (which drew loud boos from the crowd of 44,139).
Trying to preserve Jeff Samardzija's gem, closer Kevin Gregg had come into the game with a three-run lead, one out and two runners on in the ninth inning. Cardinals fans chanted "Yadi! Yadi!" for Yadier Molina, who lined an RBI single into right field.
Showing the sense of calm that's allowed him to go 10-for-10 in save chances, Gregg then got David Freese to hit a groundball to second baseman Darwin Barney, who flipped it to Castro.
"I didn't know right away," Castro said, "but when I saw the replay, it's unbelievable."
[MORE: As Cubs rebuild, LaRussa explains "Cardinal Way"]
Matt Holliday had taken out Castro with a hard slide in 2011, but the All-Star shortstop had accepted that as a legal play. Cubs first-base coach Dave McKay, who was a part of Tony La Russa's staff in St. Louis, has used that as an example of how hard you need to play when you clinch a playoff spot on the last day of the regular season, the edge a World Series team needs.
"Not even close," Castro said. "(Holliday runs) hard, but it's professional, like everybody does on the team, trying to break up the double play. But (be) professional. Don't try to hurt nobody."
Manager Dale Sveum said he couldn't see what happened from the dugout and hadn't watched the replay yet.
"Finally got a call in this place, I know that," Sveum said. "There's been some bad walk-offs in this place. So whatever it was, it was a good call for us."

- Hi Mike:
In a certain sense, that method of troubleshooting does optimize the
time it takes to get the unit functional. By "walling-off" half the
possible defective units by replacing them with good modules, you can
quickly determine where the fault lies. Of course, as you way, you
have to have at least 50% spare modules of the total that are known to
be good. And by replacing half of all the modules, you have a 50-50
chance of getting
the system back up on the first swap.
If the system is still bad after that swap, then the same procedure
will work by swapping out half again of the remaining un-swapped
modules, etc.
It would mean a maximum of 4 swaps to find and replace the bad
module. And since it was a SAGE system, involving national defense,
you'd want to get it back up ASAP. That's the point, of course.

I'm not sure that I am willing to have to put *WARNING JOKE* or *
TONGUE IN CHEEK* as it seems would be required for you. A "LOL"
denotes a joke. And of course, one can always ask for clarification
if one isn't sure since written communications are not always as clear as the spoken word. Should I counter with a similarly demanding "I
presume you will be less likely to miss the meaning of a LOL or smiley in the future."? That reads like a declaration. Is there really
anything wrong with maybe being a little less uptight and a little
more civil perhaps? I really hope you ponder that for a moment.
This list, does it only want hardcore super serious guys? Thats not very inviting to guys less so I think anyway.
> One comment. I don't think much of using smiley's on statements, soone can later say "I was only kidding".
So a smiley or LOL is never sincere? Its only always meant to have a excuse later on that something was not meant seriously? If I read you correctly thats a pretty negative view and one you should not take on my usage of it.
Anyway I'll shut my mouth on this subject otherwise for the moment, just food for thought in return.

Re: Why does my Super Drive not read some music CDs that my wifes never fails to??? in response to Ardwa Solved
Not all optical drives are created equal. Commercial CDs are mechanically stamped creating microscopic pits in the surface of the media that change the reflective characteristics of the surface and the resulting reflection and no reflection of the read laser that is interpreted as a binary digital signal that is interpreted as sound. Generally very few drives have a problem reading these mechanically stamped discs. Burned CDs on the other hand are coated with a dye material that changes its reflective qualities when it is "burned" by a write laser, which is stronger and a different frequency than the read laser. How well a given optical drive can read one of these burned lasers is a function of many things including:
- In the drive that burns an optical disc
- The quality of the refelctive layer of the media
- The specific dyes used for the particular brand and model of the media
- The exact frequency and strength of the "write" laser
- In the drive that is reading the disc
- The exact frequency of the "read" laser in the drive
- The sensitivity of the read diode in the drive
- Any dust or dirt that may obscure the signal in the drive
At one time it was estimated that more than 20% of burned optical discs could be read in any given drive. This has improved over time but it is still true that not all discs can successfully be read in all drives. It is also true that optical drives are notoriously short lived. It is also relatively common that one function, say reading DVD-RW drives whille others such as CD-Rs will still work.
About the only thing you can change that effects what discs a given drive will read (or write) for that matter is dust and other detritous in the drive. Almost any office supply store will sell you a CD/DVD drive cleaning disc. They are not the easiest thing to use in slot loading drives but it can be done and may improve the number of discs your drive may read.
If the discs you are having problems reading are the mechanically stamped commercial discs, you need a new optical drive. If your mini is under warranty or AppleCare take it to the Genius Desk.

Chicago's Smog-Eating Cement vs. NYC's Fancy Flood Maps
Which city will win the climate change preparation smackdown?
Meanwhile, the city was experimenting with more advanced methods of green practices. Johnston and I left City Hall and walked a few blocks to an alleyway that led from the Goodman Theatre to the Chicago Theatre. At first glance, the alley didn't look unusual. But Johnston drew my attention to ground level. The sidewalk looked like normal cement, but in fact it was a substance known as permeable concrete that would help cope with the intense storms climate change would bring: Rain would seep into this substance rather than flash off into storm drains and increase flooding. "We're also experimenting with a special photocatalytic cement that was developed for the Vatican to keep the Millennium Church white," Johnston said. "Apparently this cement has a chemical reaction that causes it to eat smog. We're trying out these ideas at our first 'green street,' in the Pilsen neighborhood, to see what works. Infrastructure—the streets, lights, drainage systems—makes up 25 percent of Chicago. That is a huge green opportunity."
Interviewing Johnston the day before the 2008 presidential election, I asked if he would be moving to Washington to pursue a green agenda as part of the Obama administration. "No, cities are where it's at," he replied. "Cities are the economic engine of the country. They're where 80 percent of the population lives, so city governments can have a huge impact on environmental issues." Then a smile creased his boyish face and he added, "But it will be really nice to have some federal assistance for a change."
Little did Johnston know that some of the federal assistance would come from none other than Ron Sims. Although Sims had backed Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primaries, President Obama chose him in early 2009 to be the deputy secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In accepting the No. 2 post at the $39 billion agency, Sims said he looked forward to helping America "prepare for the age of global warming," adding, "Success can only come if we transform our major metropolitan areas." He soon showed what he had in mind. In June 2009, HUD joined with the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency to announce a Partnership for Sustainable Communities, an initiative that closely parallels policies Sims had championed in King County.
From now on, the announcement said, the federal government would "provide more transportation choices"—read: "encourage mass transit more than private vehicles." It would also "promote equitable, affordable housing"—read: "encourage developments like Greenbridge"—and "support existing communities"—read: "stop subsidizing sprawl."
True, announcing a policy in Washington is just the beginning of making it happen on the ground across the country. But the Partnership for Sustainable Communities represents a 180-degree shift in direction for the federal government. If Sims and his new colleagues can make good on their promises, they may inspire the tsunami of adaptation he yearned for, after all.
New York City
Richard Daley was not the only US big-city mayor following in Sims's footsteps. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City actually was slightly ahead of Daley in launching a comprehensive climate action plan. In a speech he delivered on Earth Day, 2007, to hundreds of government, business, and community leaders at the American Museum of Natural History, Bloomberg declared that coping with climate change was imperative to New York's future. As a coastal city, he pointed out, New York was particularly threatened by "rising sea levels and intensifying storms." Climate change would also worsen New York's already ferocious summertime heat and humidity and stress its water and energy supplies. Bloomberg urged facing these problems "not in the future, not when it's too late, but right now." Toward that end, his speech outlined a long-term sustainability plan for the city, a plan he called PlaNYC.
One of the most expensive proposals in PlaNYC was the investment it proposed to make in the aging system of aqueducts and tunnels that bring New York its water. The vast majority of New York's water originates in the Catskill and Delaware River watersheds, hundreds of miles away. Two massive tunnels deliver this water to the city. But neither tunnel had been inspected for more than 50 years; authorities literally had no idea what shape they were in. What they did know was that a failure in either tunnel would leave millions of New Yorkers without water. They also knew that climate change would increase the stress on the water system, because the northeast of the United States was projected to experience more volatile rainfall in the years to come, and this would produce larger pulses of water pouring through the tunnels. PlaNYC's solution was to urge the completion of the long-planned but always-postponed Water Tunnel No.r 3. Completing the tunnel would cost billions, but it would enable temporary closure of Water Tunnels 1 and 2 so engineers could inspect and modernize them. This was an investment the city could not afford not to make, Bloomberg argued.
Completing Water Tunnel No. 3 illustrates how adaptation is a win-win proposition, said Cynthia Rosenzweig, a senior research scientist at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University and the chief science adviser on New York's plan. Under Rosenzweig's leadership, New York City had established what she called "a local version of the IPCC" to provide ongoing scientific advice to decision makers in both the public and the private sectors as they refined and implemented the vision of PlaNYC. Like the IPCC, the New York City Panel on Climate Change was composed of experts from a wide range of physical and social sciences; it issued its first report in February 2009.

This is the best eye makeup remover I've ever used. I love eyeshadow and mascara is my one thing that I could never go w/out.
I've stopped using waterproof mascara because its very drying and that's the last thing I need on my thin lashes, but even with the waterproof it got it all off.
I think the trick is, you squirt some on the cotton pad and hold it on your lashes for about 15 seconds and then start wiping away. That way, you don't have to keep wiping, again, I have to be careful with the thin lashes (dont' want them all to fall off :( )
After you use the remover then you have to wash your face with cleanser, usually any cleanser gets off any left over residue.
I wish it wasn't so expensive, and that I didn't have to wait to order it. Those are my only complaints.

I love this product. I've tried so many eye make up remover and it always left residue or i'd have to tug and pull at it. :(
But this one, all I have to do is soak it in the cotton pad for a 2 seconds and then place the pad on my eye for 6 seconds to let it soak into the makeup and swipe! it's OFF! :D I love it
Age: 30-35

Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Once I realized that one has to shake the product before using it, I found that this does in fact get every stitch of eye makeup off, and you do not have to keep pulling or tugging on your eyes to do so. However, I have noticed this leaves a slightly oily feeling on the eye after use.

this is my H/G makeup remover.It is hands down the best product i have used.leaves my eye area conditioned, soft, and supple. without feeling oily. what it leaves behind absorbs into the tissue and gives a dewy soft look, i love it, and how cute is the baby pink packaging? plus i also like that it has the spill proof top.would hate to waste product.i also like that just a dab on a cotton ball removes makeup on both eyes. i hope they never discontinue this. id b so sad.

Works like a gem. Very gentle remover. I ran out, need to get some more. I have only tried it and Clinique's eye makeup remover but I must say this is my favorite as CLinique's feels/ looks soapy.

Very gentle. LOVE this!

This stuff is wonderful! It works really well for all makeup, even waterproof, and doesn't leave a nasty thick residue. The product is really gentle and effective. The only problem is the price! It is just too expensive for a poor college student like me. I'm so sad 'cause I have to find a different brand, and so far, the hunt for something as great as this has been unsuccessful.

Doing things to improve your balance will also ensure you are healthy into your old age. Weight loss really is simple in concept. Eat healthy, fresh, local foods. Make sure that the products you chose spend as little time in storage as possible. Then, once you fuel your body, make sure you get out and enjoy the world around you. I call it fitness to make memories..
The fitness revolution nicknamed "Fitspo," would have people believing that perfectly sculpted bodies are the new thin. It would have you thinking that if you aren't training for a marathon or a body building competition then you're doomed to a life of heart disease and metabolic issues. I'm here to tell you that all of that is false. It's nonsense.
I know that becoming more athletic was part of how I managed to grow out of the unhealthy, unfit and unhappy teenage version of myself. I see this same pattern in many of my clients. The ones who have managed to make long-term lifestyle changes have all, in one way or another, found their "inner athlete." Here are some tips to finding your inner athlete.

First Lady announces £128m UK-US education scheme
Michelle Obama has announced a £128m ($200m) partnership between the US and the UK to help educate adolescent girls in developing countries.

She held up the piece of paper in her hand and shook it. "Got it."

Labour have neglected the disabled at thier conference - at a time of their greatest need.
We used to be accustomed to watching Labour politicians while in power puff up and reel off a series of accomplishments.
In opposition, it is de riguer to rattle off apologies – for failing to spend every penny of public funds wisely, or regulate the city, or not 'holding back immigration'.
But one place you will not hear that is in the debate around welfare reform. As detailed on Left Foot Forward, the government's reforms are based on out-of-date understanding of who the disabled are and will effect the lives of tens of thousands of the most vulnerable people in our society – and are in large part built upon Labour's legacy in office.
By contrast, the Liberal Democrats managed a full debate on the changes, despite being hamstrung as part of the coalition, with one disabled delegate receiving an ovation before she even started to speak. It is now Liberal Democrat policy to stand up to ministers on many of the changes.
Yet the disabled only received a cursory mention in the prosperity and work session of Labour conference yesterday, set aside for issues of the labour market and benefits system. Byrne promised that:
"If you cannot work, we will look after you."
and that:
"To those in genuine need, who need extra help to live and live a full life; we say we will be your voice."
That was it. There was also a mention of the letters sent out some benefit claimants about to face cuts, but nothing on the substance of the reforms.
One of the most ironic aspects was that while Labour member and disabled activist Sue Marsh was the focal point of the speech by the main mover of the motion at Liberal Democrat conference, the 'voice of the disabled' was nowhere to be heard at Labour's get-together.
Not only is this the abdication of the party's responsibility to defend some of the most vulnerable people in our society, but an amazing act of amnesia.
As mentioned above, the government's disastrous welfare bill is building on Labour reforms.
It was Labour that brought in the work capability assessment that tests for flexibility as an indicator of whether you're fit for work or not – even if, like Kaliya Franklin at the Broken of Britain you suffer from Ehlers Danlos, which essentially means you are double-jointed.
The error of this administration is not the implementation of some evil tory philosophy. It is the logical conclusion of a Westminster conventional wisdom that thinks it understands politics but has an all-too loose grasp on policy.
And when we say 'politics' too often what we mean is what plays in the Daily Mail – as was clear by Liam Byrne's speech where he spent far more time attacking 'shirkers'.
This, despite the fact that fraud is so law in the incapacity benefits system that it costs us less than the measures to fight it.
Labour still appears wedded to the conventional wisdom that the large disability benefits roll is down to former workers in heavy industries who were shoved onto the benefit to keep unemployment figures down. They are increasingly not.
The proportion of people on incapacity benefit are suffering from more serious conditions – suggesting they had these from birth and not through industry – is growing.
The former assumption leads to many of the cruellest aspects of the new bill – means-testing Employment and Support Allowance if you haven't got a minimum number of years of national insurance contributions, removing benefits from 20 per cent of existing Disability Living Allowance claimants and time limits on employment support allowance.
Labour needs to fight this bill. But it can not if it continues to accept the Westminster conventional wisdom.
Maybe the party should apologise for the banks and the public spending. However, it should definitely say sorry to the thousands let down by the Westminster conventional wisdom that it took the lead in cementing – or at least mention it in a speech.
It could start by giving some very frightened people the sense that someone cared about them by truly giving them 'a voice'.

Sailors taking part in the 2013 Sail for Gold Regatta, being held at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy from the 9th-13th June, can call upon the experience of a World Class Race Management Team which has been put in place for this year's event to ensure a top quality racing experience.
Dylan Fletcher and Alain Sign 49er Sail for Gold Regatta
Entries for this year's regatta are still open, with a discounted entry fee deadline of Friday 31 May - giving sailors the chance, if not already entered, the opportunity to book their berths in this year's flagship event of the Eurosaf Champions Sailing Cup 2013.
Across Portland Harbour and Weymouth Bay the Sail for Gold Regatta will deploy personnel from the Race Management teams who were instrumental in delivering a hugely successful Olympic and Paralympic Games at the same venue last summer, ensuring a superior racing environment for all athletes competing.
Adrian Stoggall, who has significant experience within Race Management and sailing generally and who was influential in running the 470 course at last summer's Olympic Games, has been appointed as Principal Race Officer for the regatta in June. Adding to the calibre are Chris Hadden, David Campbell-James and Mark Wood who were on the Olympic 470, 49er and Finn/Star race teams respectively.
Sail for Gold Regatta Event Director Tim Hall commented: 'The Race Management Team we have in place at this year's Sail for Gold Regatta has a wealth of experience and knowledge and I have every confidence that we will deliver an outstanding race experience for all sailors competing. The experience, passion and dedication from our race officers and their teams is always second to none and I know we are all looking forward to delivering a successful regatta in June.
'I know from past experience that without a well-organised and experienced race management team in place to run a regatta, sailors can sometimes be left feeling frustrated and annoyed. With this in mind, we have done are up most to put together a race management team that will deliver a world class racing environment. Sailors will race on the best possible course areas available due to the local knowledge of the race management team and should therefore come fully prepared for some exhilarating racing at WPNSA.'
Hall concluded: 'Sailors have only one week to finalise their plans and get there entries in, and with the extended discounted entry fee deadline of Friday 31 May - we are hoping to welcome back a number of Olympians and Paralympians who competed on the same waters last summer as well as up and coming talents who already have Rio 2016 in their sights. For anyone who has yet to enter or who is undecided, I hope the presence of top quality race management will help finalise their plans for this year's regatta.'
Entries can be made via the event website and must be received no later than 31 May 2013.

How Various Musical Genres are 'Different Sides of the Same Object'
How Various Musical Genres are 'Different Sides of the Same Object'
Guitarist Available: Into Hard Rock, Country, Polka, Easy Listening, Elevator Jazz, Gypsy, Classical, Barbershop, Big Band ..."
As an 11-year-old, I was infatuated with Def Leppard. I would even pretend to play along with the Hysteria album using one (not two) chopsticks as drumsticks to emulate Rick Allen, assigning my left foot to snare drum duties.
I played along like that and got into all the other popular hard rock bands of the time, such as Guns 'N Roses, Tesla and especially the Randy Rhoads tribute album from Ozzy -- all of 'em.
I eventually got some sticks and joined a local drum corp as a cymbal player so that I could take my cymbals home, set one of them up on a chair with a broken back and put headphones on and smash away to "tapes" (Do you remember tapes?). I would use the seat of the chair as the snare drum, and the cymbal as, well, everything else. CRASH, CRASH, CRASH! I was on my way, and it didn't matter to me what I played. I just wanted to play music.
How many people out there after reading this just said something like "Def Leppard sucks!" to themselves? My response is, "Why?" The purpose of this blog post is to get a reader who shops in one category on iTunes to learn a few licks from another category and see where it leads you and find out how it can open you up more with what you currently play.
Fast forward: Now I'm 16 and I have drums and a guitar in my arsenal. My sister buys Pornograffitti by Extreme, as she loved the song "More Than Words," only to find that outside of two acoustic songs on that "tape," there were 10 other blazing guitar tracks she didn't care for. She hands the "tape" off to me, and those blazing guitar tracks blow me away!
I spent hours every day over the next year practicing guitar, wanting to learn how to play like Nuno Bettencourt. I was as excited as I could be.
In hindsight, the thing that really stands out to me now is that I had gotten into a band that had a lot of different musical ingredients, and my appetite for different genres was growing.
Around this time, a friend came over who was a fantastic guitarist, and he had been studying a lot of country guitar. He goes, "Check this out" as he rips into a jaw-dropping Albert Lee solo. Then I asked him to do it again, and I clicked on his distortion pedal. This was a defining moment for me, and the genre walls broke down in my head. An E is an E in any genre, and it's our own tastes that stop us from expanding our palette.
If you look at every major innovation in human history, a huge catalyst in that innovation is the joining together of two practices to create a new hybrid. It's even the way that we procreate. Picture the old joke from The Blues Brothers:
"What kind of music do you usually have here?"
"Oh, we got both kinds. We got country AND western."
We can change this joke a million ways to read: "rythmn AND blues," "rock AND roll," "drum AND bass." The point is that the road to innovation starts with someone mixing two different ingredients and throwing them in an oven somewhere.
Have you ever seen Zakk Wylde or Joe Holmes chicken pick? Have you ever seen a video of Joe Pass playing an unaccompanied solo in front of a packed house?
Yesterday I was bored, so I learned the song "Saying Goodbye" from the movie The Muppets Take Manhattan to entertain myself, and then a version of "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal to play solo acoustic with because I think its a cool song. Why not, right?
My all-time favorite quote is from drummer Rodney Holmes during the 2006 Modern Drummer festival: "It's important to view all styles of music as different sides of the same object." I urge you to step outside your box and find something new in this HUGE world of music today, learn it and make it yours. Practice it until you feel it, then see where it leads you in your world of music.
Until Next Time!

@ Dan: Yeah I remember Joe Holmes very well! I remember reading an interview with him when I was young where he took the interviewer away from the concert area and showed him his favorite things to practice - alot of classical and country, and then proceeded to tell the other metal guitarists that the country guys were unreal! When writing this I went on a google crusade to find out more about him in recent years - any info would be awesome!
@ Dave: I like the key change in Kiss from a Rose where it immediately hits the f maj7 from the key of G. Its a great touch! Maj 7 chords often make death metal guys melt, but occasionally one works its way in haha! You should hit them with some air supply and see how much trouble you can really get in! When I really get it down better Ill post a video of it!
Thanks for the comments! Dave

I did the same thing with "Kiss From a Rose".
I was working on my down-picking, got bored with all the metal, and then heard Jimmy Eats World on the radio and went "Shit! All down picking and sounds like fun to play".
I also found that learning a song to try and annoy your band mates is also great inspiration! (But then again, playing 'pop' music to a bunch of death-metalheads can get you into some trouble!)

Boating Restrictions During Hydro Races Start Friday
The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners has enacted a resolution temporarily restricting boat and vessel actions in a portion of Dyes Inlet as a public safety concern during this weekend's Silverdale Thunder hydroplane races. The races are held under the auspices of the Unlimited Light Hydroplane Racing Association.
Certain county streets in Old Town Silverdale will also be closed during the races.
There will be a "no wake zone" for the northern part of Dyes Inlet beginning at 7 a.m. Saturday and ending at 7 p.m. Sunday. The "no wake" resolution affects all watercraft in the area with the exception of the hydroplanes actually participating in the races. Patrol craft of the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office marine services unit will be in Dyes Inlet all weekend to enforce the restrictions.
"The safety of the boating public is paramount," said Sheriff Steve Boyer. "We are anticipating high density, heavily congested afloat traffic in Dyes Inlet as boaters use their personal watercraft to view the hydroplanes. Come out and enjoy the races and the good weather, but we expect all boaters to comply with the temporary resolution and maintain very slow speeds within the zone."
The "no wake zone" extends across the northern third of Dyes Inlet, with an imaginary line drawn from NW Barker Creek Road, on the east side of the inlet, west-southwest across the inlet to NW Holly Park Drive off Chico Way. The "no wake zone" will be marked with buoys.

Actually, the Canon eye control cameras could tell which AF Point you wanted. Worked better if you did not wear glasses, and re-calibrated from time to time.
I like having all the bells and whistles available, as long as I can turn them off when not needed or wanted.
The one really good use I can think of for a digic@m, is to learn to estimate light. Put it in manual. And you have instant feedback. If it takes you a hundred shots to get your estimates on target, no problem. Then go back to the film camera armed with a few skills. Or... Just shoot the film, and help keep the market going. ;-). Think of it like tuition...

Custom LED Hoops
Looking to design a Custom LED hoop?
We can help you to create a hoop born from your imagination and brought into the light! We have a great selection of LEDs in many different colors and light textures.
Create your own custom hoop design in the colors and size of your choice!
Custom hoops start at $124 for full size hoops, and $129 for a mini hoop pair.
Check out our LEDs selection, envision what you can create, then fill out the form below and we'll get back to confirm details and answer any questions
Helpful tips for designing hoop patterns & battery life
The types of LEDs used in a hoop affect how long a battery will last until it needs to be swapped out or recharged.
Mix up strobe, solid, and blending LEDs to create different light textures while also balancing battery usage.
Play with different texture ideas to create your hoop design, as the LED variation will allow your custom hoop to get good battery life
Each hoop comes with one small battery and one wall charger. Add extra batteries to your custom hoop request!
LED types:
- Dotted 'strobe' LEDs do not actually strobe like a strobe light, but they do create a dotted pattern when in motion, though look solid when the hoop is still.
These "strobe" LEDs use the least amount of power. There are single color strobes (i.e. white), tri-color strobes (i.e. blue-white-green), and bi-color strobes (i.e. pink-violet, which then has a space after it).
LEDs that actually create a strobing effect are the Intense White Sparkle and Itense RGB Strobe LEDs, they also use very little power.
Solid LEDs and Ribbon LEDs use more power, as they create solid lines of color.
These LEDs are on all the time so they use more power than strobe LEDs.
- Blending LEDs give the most color variety, but also use the most power.
Slow-blend, Fast-blend, and Fast-blending Pastel Rainbow LEDs create beautiful streaks of changing color, but use much more power for its effects.
But if you like the extra fancy… you can get Twice the LEDs 😉
Twice the LEDs repeats your pattern around again, creating a brilliant and full effect.
Twice the LEDs will drain the battery twice as fast, but you also get 2 extra batteries with this LED density.
Add your custom hoop specs into the form below!
We will reply with a follow up and if you're happy with the design we'll send you an invoice.
There's never an obligation to pay the invoice and your custom hoop quote does not expire.
Please allow up to two business days for a response
