Champion decided not to be a champ
Pure Whey Protein Stack review posted by Super Supplement Customer on 7/31/12
Champion Whey has been a great protein. However, be aware they changed their formula with increased fat, sugar and calories. I am paying attention Champion and looking for a replacement. Don't increase the bad stuff to keep costs down.
Champion Mixes Easily
Pure Whey Protein Stack review posted by Cindy on 7/9/12
I have had bypass surgery and have used many protein formulas. Champion Whey mixes easily with water without clumps. I've used Vanilla, Chocolate, banana, strawberry. My favorite is Vanilla as I blend it sugar free syrups and fresh or frozen fruit for a nutritious meal. Using frozen fruit makes a delicious thick shake. Who needs fast food?

Who could forget that magnificent "Singing in the Rain" number by Gene Kelly from the musical of the same name?
"I'm singing in the rain, Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling' I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds, So dark up above
The sun's in my heart, And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase, Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane, With a happy refrain
Just singing', singing' in the rain."
As a mailman for thirty years, I would sing this song whenever I was delivering mail in the rain…out loud I might add, very loud in the pouring rain, because I would be the only one walking, others were seeking shelter. When it rained everybody felt sorry for the poor letter carrier whose motto commanded that "neither rain, nor snow nor gloom of night could stay this noble courier from his appointed rounds." Do the present day mailmen know this motto?
This column is dedicated to the record breaking rain we've had which ruined every weekend. Noah would have already finished his Ark pronto had he been in the metropolitan area. This weekend was the 27th annual get together of my lifelong school buddies and our wives at the DoubleTree Hotel in Somerset, New Jersey. The local meteorologists did predict a beautiful sunny morning⁄afternoon, but they also promised showers sometime later in the afternoon.
Most of the pools hadn't been opened yet due to the tremendous rainfall we've had. My sun worshiping wife Sharon was determined to get an early start from Brooklyn to get her long overdue suntan poolside at the DoubleTree. As for me, as soon as my toe told me the water was not frigid I dove into the pool causing a Tsunami sending all the floating leaves into the filter traps. One dive that's all it took. The pool became pristine, the water was absolutely delightful, the temperature refreshing but not cold. Those that took a dip took a long dip, that's how beautiful it was. All around the pool everyone was talking about the ominous clouds coming towards us, darker and darker they became as they approached leaving a trail of rain behind it…but, there wasn't any lighting or thunder at all. So for me, once I'm in the pool, I'm in the pool for hours on end. I wasn't leaving, rain or no rain; I waited too long for a swim this summer and this swim I was taking. When huge drops hit the water's surface, everyone in the pool deserted me…even the kids. Giving me an opportunity to sing "I'm swimming in the rain, just swimming in the rain, what a glorious feeling I'm happy again.
Mind you, had I heard one crack of thunder or saw a solitary lighting bolt, I would have broken the world's record for a 20 yard sprint to the steps leading out of the pool. After the quick downpour, we went into the lobby to see if our friends checked in…they didn't, they were stuck in traffic totally screwed up by the rain. Nevertheless when we finally did all get together we had the time of our lives laughing up our 65 years of friendship.
Screech at you next week!

Walmart reports Q3 EPS of $1.08, reaffirms top end of full-year EPS guidance; Company is well positioned for Q4 holidays Q3 Highlights: *Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Walmart) reported third quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.08, within guidance of $1.04 to $1.09. This was an 11.3 percent increase from the $0.97 per share reported for the third quarter last year. *The company updated its full year earnings guidance, narrowing the range by five cents to $4.88 to $4.93. The top of the range remains unchanged from the guidance provided last quarter, when the company tightened the range and increased it by a penny. *Net sales were $113.2 billion, a 3.4 percent increase over last year. Currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted net sales by approximately $1.7 billion. Without the currency impact^1, net sales would have been $114.9 billion, a 4.9 percent increase. *Walmart U.S. comparable ("comp") store sales increased 1.5 percent in the 13-week period ended Oct. 26, 2012. *Sam's Club comp sales, without fuel, increased 2.7 percent for the same 13-week period. *Walmart International grew net sales 2.4 percent to $33.2 billion; on a constant currency^1 basis, net sales would have increased 7.6 percent to $34.8 billion. *The company leveraged operating expenses for the quarter. *Consolidated operating income was $6.1 billion, up 4.0 percent from last year, and grew faster than sales. *Walmart generated free cash flow^1 of $7.0 billion for the nine months ended Oct. 31, 2012. *Return on investment^1 (ROI) for the trailing 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2012 was 18.0 percent. *Year to date, the company returned $8.7 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Business Wire BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- November 15, 2012 Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE: WMT) today reported financial results for the quarter ended Oct. 31, 2012. Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $113.2 billion, an increase of 3.4 percent from $109.5 billion in the third quarter last year. Net sales for this quarter included a negative currency exchange rate impact of approximately $1.7 billion. Without the currency impact, net sales would have been $114.9 billion. Membership and other income increased 2.1 percent to $725 million. Total revenue was $113.9 billion, an increase of 3.4 percent from last year. Income from continuing operations attributable to Walmart for the quarter was $3.6 billion, up 8.7 percent from the third quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to Walmart (EPS) for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $1.08. By comparison, last year's reported EPS were $0.97. The current quarter benefited from a 31.3 percent effective tax rate. This benefit was mostly offset by approximately $105 million in pre-tax charges which are included in operating expenses: *an approximate $69 million for changes in estimated contingent liabilities related to employment claims in Brazil; and *an approximate $36 million for damages from Superstorm Sandy, mainly in the Walmart U.S. business. Solid earnings performance "We're very pleased with our financial performance for the third quarter and the dedication and hard work of our associates serving Walmart customers and communities around the world," said Mike Duke, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. president and chief executive officer. "Earnings per share were $1.08, which represents an 11.3 percent increase over the third quarter last year." The company leveraged operating expenses for the third quarter, delivering on its commitment to reduce costs, improve productivity and invest in price. "Our disciplined approach to operating the business and to the productivity loop drove profitability and expense leverage," said Duke. "Our fundamentals are strong, and we are well-positioned for the fourth quarter, including innovative plans to drive traffic, especially in our U.S. stores. "Price will continue to be a major factor for U.S. customers over the holidays. Our strong price position and broad assortment are clear competitive advantages," he explained. "Across all of our markets, we are seeing the same price consciousness as we do in the United States. More customers are part of a growing global middle class, looking for quality, value and a better life, and our EDLP model matters to these customers." Duke also noted that the company continues to invest in e-commerce to build the anywhere, anytime relationship that customers want. "We made significant progress this quarter in enhancing our walmart.com site for U.S. customers, and we are expanding e-commerce opportunities for shoppers in our key markets, including China, the U.K. and Brazil," said Duke. "We also increased our position in China e-commerce retailer Yihaodian to 51 percent." Returns Walmart delivered free cash flow of $7.0 billion for the nine months ended Oct. 31, 2012, compared to $3.4 billion the previous year. Return on investment (ROI) for the trailing 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2012 was 18.0 percent, compared to 18.2 percent for the same prior year period. The company's capital discipline benefitted ROI. However, this benefit was mostly offset by currency exchange rate fluctuations. "Despite current economic conditions, we continue to produce solid operating results with strong cash flow from operations," said Charles Holley, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "The strength of our free cash flow allows us to provide good returns to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases." Company updates full-year EPS guidance "Current macroeconomic conditions continue to pressure our customers," said Holley. "The holiday season is predicted to be very competitive, but we are well prepared to deliver on the value and low prices our customers expect. "We consider the competitive retail environment and economic factors, among others, when we provide guidance. Based on these considerations, we expect fourth quarter fiscal 2013 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to range between $1.53 and $1.58. This compares to last year's fourth quarter reported EPS of $1.51, which benefitted $0.07 from certain items," said Holley. "Net of those items, earnings per share for last year's fourth quarter would have been $1.44. "For the full year, we are tightening and reaffirming the top end of our earnings per share guidance to a range of $4.88 to $4.93. This compares to our previous guidance of $4.83 to $4.93," Holley said. "Last year's full-year EPS was $4.54." Operating segment details and analysis Net sales Net sales, including fuel, were as follows (dollars in billions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 31, October 31, Percent Percent 2012 2011 Change 2012 2011 Change Net Sales: Walmart U.S. $ 66.127 $ 63.835 3.6 % $ 199.825 $ 191.397 4.4 % Walmart 33.159 32.383 2.4 % 97.252 90.387 7.6 % International Sam's Club 13.918 13.298 4.7 % 41.933 39.785 5.4 % Total Company $ 113.204 $ 109.516 3.4 % $ 339.010 $ 321.569 5.4 % The following explanations provide additional context to the above table for the third quarter. *Constant currency consolidated net sales would have increased by 4.9 percent to $114.9 billion during the third quarter. *Walmart International net sales, on a constant currency basis, would have increased 7.6 percent to $34.8 billion. *Sam's Club net sales, excluding fuel, were $12.2 billion, an increase of 3.6 percent from last year's third quarter results. Segment operating income Segment operating income was as follows (dollars in billions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended October 31, October 31, Percent Percent 2012 2011 2012 2011 Change Change Segment Operating Income: Walmart U.S. $ 4.844 $ 4.634 4.5 % $ 15.128 $ 14.280 5.9 % Walmart 1.455 1.389 4.8 % 4.258 3.885 9.6 % International Sam's Club 0.435 0.386 12.7 % 1.461 1.328 10.0 % The following explanations provide additional context to the above table for the third quarter. *Consolidated operating income, which includes other unallocated, was $6.1 billion, up 4.0 percent from last year. On a constant currency basis, consolidated operating income would have increased 4.5 percent. *All three segments grew operating income faster than sales, a company priority. *On a constant currency basis, Walmart International's operating income would have increased 6.8 percent. Currency exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted operating income by approximately $29 million. *Sam's Club operating income, excluding fuel, increased 14.2 percent. "We were pleased that our constant currency sales and operating income were both up approximately 7 percent for the third quarter," said Doug McMillon, president and CEO of Walmart International. "We gained market share in almost all of our markets, indicating that our underlying business is performing well. We are working hard to improve execution where it's needed, and we're ready with great merchandise and price investments for the fourth quarter." U.S. comparable store sales review and guidance The company reported U.S. comparable store sales based on its 13-week and 39-week retail calendar periods ended Oct. 26, 2012 and Oct. 28, 2011, as follows: Without Fuel With Fuel Fuel Impact Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirteen Weeks Ended 10/26/12 10/28/11 10/26/12 10/28/11 10/26/12 10/28/11 Walmart 1.5 % 1.3 % 1.5 % 1.3 % 0.0 % 0.0 % U.S. Sam's 2.7 % 5.7 % 3.8 % 9.0 % 1.1 % 3.3 % Club Total 1.7 % 1.9 % 1.9 % 2.6 % 0.2 % 0.7 % U.S. Without Fuel With Fuel Fuel Impact Thirty-Nine Weeks Thirty-Nine Weeks Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended Ended Ended 10/26/12 10/28/11 10/26/12 10/28/11 10/26/12 10/28/11 Walmart 2.1 % -0.3 % 2.1 % -0.3 % 0.0 % 0.0 % U.S. Sam's 4.1 % 5.0 % 4.4 % 9.0 % 0.3 % 4.0 % Club Total 2.4 % 0.5 % 2.5 % 1.3 % 0.1 % 0.8 % U.S. During the 13-week period, the Walmart U.S. comp was driven by an increase in average ticket of 1.4 percent. Traffic was positive by 0.1 percent. All three geographic regions had positive comp sales. "We again delivered strong sales across the business, adding $2.3 billion in revenue. Comp sales increased 1.5 percent this quarter, as we lapped a 1.3 percent comp last year," said Bill Simon, Walmart U.S. president and chief executive officer. "We're excited about the fourth quarter. November sales started ahead of plan. Our Black Friday plans are innovative and designed to drive additional traffic in our stores. We expect strong performance through Thanksgiving weekend." For the 4-5-4 period from Oct. 27, 2012 through Jan. 25, 2013, Walmart U.S. expects comp store sales to range from 1.0 percent to 3.0 percent. The Walmart U.S. 13-week comp for last year's fourth quarter rose 1.5 percent. For Sam's Club, comp traffic and ticket, excluding fuel, increased for both Business and Advantage members for the 13-week period ended Oct. 26. "Sam's Club comp sales, while a solid 2.7 percent, fell short of our guidance. Business members in particular, continued to be pressured economically," said Rosalind Brewer, Sam's Club president and chief executive officer. "Inflation was lower than last quarter and much less than a year ago. While lower costs are good for our members, deflation impacted comp sales more than expected. Sam's Club is stepping up price investment for the holidays, and we are well prepared for our members' gifting and entertaining needs." Sam's Club expects comp sales, without fuel, for the current 13-week period ending Jan. 25, 2013, to increase between 1.5 percent and 3.5 percent. Last year, Sam's Club comp, without fuel, for the fourth quarter comparable 13-week period rose 5.4 percent. To align with the company's internal operating systems, Walmart will report comp sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 on a 4-5-4 basis and will not recognize a 53-week retail calendar this year. For fiscal year 2014, Walmart will report comp store sales on a 53-week basis, with 4-5-5 reporting for the fourth quarter. Both Walmart U.S. and Sam's Club will report comp sales for the 13-week period on Feb. 21, 2013, when the company reports fourth quarter results. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

The company has provided the non-GAAP financial information presented in the press release, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in the press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in the press release. The non-GAAP financial measures in the press release may differ from similar measures used by other companies. Free Cash Flow We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities in a period minus payments for property and equipment made in that period. Free cash flow was $7.0 billion and $3.4 billion for the nine-months ended Oct. 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes, however, that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the company's financial performance. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, income from continuing operations as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, our definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures as the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our entire statements of cash flows. Although other companies report their free cash flow, numerous methods may exist for calculating a company's free cash flow. As a result, the method used by our management to calculate free cash flow may differ from the methods other companies use to calculate their free cash flow. We urge you to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate their free cash flow before comparing our free cash flow to that of such other companies. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to net cash provided by operating activities, which we believe to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to free cash flow, as well as information regarding net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing activities. For the Nine Months Ended October 31, (Amounts in millions) 2012 2011 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 15,907 $ 12,914 Payments for property and equipment (8,921 ) (9,543 ) Free cash flow $ 6,986 $ 3,371 Net cash used in investing activities^(1) $ (9,352 ) $ (12,814 ) Net cash used in financing activities $ (4,694 ) $ (284 ) "Net cash used in investing activities" includes payments for property ^(1) and equipment, which is also included in our computation of free cash flow. Calculation of Return on Investment and Return on Assets Management believes return on investment ("ROI") is a meaningful metric to share with investors because it helps investors assess how effectively Walmart is deploying its assets. Trends in ROI can fluctuate over time, as management balances long-term potential strategic initiatives with any possible short-term impacts. ROI was 18.0 percent and 18.2 percent for the trailing 12 months ended Oct. 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We define ROI as adjusted operating income (operating income plus interest income, depreciation and amortization, and rent expense) for the fiscal year or trailing 12 months divided by average invested capital during that period. We consider average invested capital to be the average of our beginning and ending total assets of continuing operations, plus average accumulated depreciation and average amortization, less average accounts payable and average accrued liabilities for that period, plus a rent factor equal to the rent for the fiscal year or trailing 12 months multiplied by a factor of eight. ROI is considered a non-GAAP financial measure. We consider return on assets ("ROA") to be the financial measure computed in accordance with GAAP that is the most directly comparable financial measure to ROI as we calculate that financial measure. ROI differs from ROA (which is income from continuing operations for the fiscal year or trailing 12 months divided by average total assets of continuing operations for the period) because ROI: adjusts operating income to exclude certain expense items and adds interest income; adjusts total assets from continuing operations for the impact of accumulated depreciation and amortization, accounts payable and accrued liabilities; and incorporates a factor of rent to arrive at total invested capital. Although ROI is a standard financial metric, numerous methods exist for calculating a company's ROI. As a result, the method used by management to calculate ROI may differ from the methods other companies use to calculate their ROI. We urge you to understand the methods used by other companies to calculate their ROI before comparing our ROI to that of such other companies. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

Constant Currency In discussing our operating results, we sometimes refer to the impact of changes in currency exchange rates that we use to convert the operating results for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. We calculate the effect of changes in currency exchange rates as the difference between current period activity translated using the current period's currency exchange rates and the comparable prior year period's currency exchange rates. Throughout our discussion, we refer to the results of this calculation as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. When we refer to constant currency operating results, we are referring to our operating results without the impact of the currency exchange rate fluctuations and without the impact of acquisitions until the acquisitions are included in both comparable periods. The disclosure of constant currency amounts or results permits investors to understand better our underlying performance without the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations or acquisitions. The table below reflects the calculation of constant currency for net sales and operating income for the three and nine months ended Oct. 31, 2012, respectively.

I am madly in love with these amazing green smoothies! I run around all day long for work with little time to stop and eat, let alone find something healthy. I've tried lots of options in the past and nothing compares to these. They are delicious and give me lots and lots of energy for the day. I pack it in a little cooler in the morning, keep it in my car and drink it for lunch. I don't know what I would do without them. I am totally addicted ~ Karen F.

It looks like we will get a bit of a break from the unsettled weather for a couple of days, although the low temperatures are going to stay with us.
A fair amount of sunshine will move into the region, which will ease the bite of high temperatures in the 30s and overnight lows in the single digits to low teens. Another wave of weather will come into the region on Thursday night with mountain snow and a chance of valley rain or snow.
On Tuesday, I asked how high the atmosphere reaches. There are really several different ways to answer. As you go higher in elevation, and the pressure of the atmosphere lowers, it gradually becomes thinner until any air molecules become so far apart as to be essentially nonexistent.
If you really want to go to the extreme, the top of the outer layer of the atmosphere is about 6,000 miles out. But that's really much higher than any "air" exists. A better "top" would be what's called the Kármán Line. More on that Thursday.

Egypt names Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's military-backed interim government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization Wednesday, intensifying its campaign of arrests and prosecutions targeting its members and tightening the noose on the group's network of charities and businesses.
The unprecedented executive decision likely ends any chance of reconciliation between the government and the 85-year-old Brotherhood, still Egypt's most organized political group. It marks a stunning reversal of fortunes for the long-outlawed organization that saw member Mohammed Morsi reach Egypt's highest office in the country's first democratic election, only to be ousted in a popularly backed military coup in July. And it takes a step that not even autocrat Hosni Mubarak took in his nearly 30-year rule.
Hossam Eissa, deputy prime minister and minister of higher education, read the government's declaration, saying the decision was in response to Tuesday's deadly bombing in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura which killed 16 people and wounded more than 100. It was the deadliest militant bombing since Morsi's ouster and showed growing reach of the country's Islamic insurgency, previously concentrated in the northern Sinai.
Although Eissa and the government offered no proof of the Brotherhood's involvement, the accusation instilled in the public mind the image of the group as being behind the surge in violent attacks.
The Brotherhood has denied being responsible for the Mansoura attack. Earlier Wednesday, an al-Qaida-inspired group called Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, or the Champions of Jerusalem, said it was behind the suicide bombing to avenge the "shedding of innocent Muslim blood" at the hands of Egypt's "apostate regime" — a reference to the security forces' crackdown on Islamists following the coup.
Brotherhood members dismissed the government label Wednesday, promising their near-daily protests against Morsi's ouster would continue.
"The protests are in the streets despite a law restricting them — and killings and prison sentences. All this has not changed the will of the people," said Ibrahim Elsayed, member of the Brotherhood's political group, the Freedom and Justice Party. "The decision has no value for us and is only worth the paper it is written on."
Another member, Islam Tawfiq, said the Brotherhood is considering whether to challenge the declaration in courts at home or abroad.
"An interim government for nine months will not stymie with terrorism a group working for (nearly) 90 years," Tawfiq said.
Soon after the declaration, however, a state-owned print shop stopped printing the Brotherhood party's newspaper. Tawfiq said it followed oral orders from security agencies to halt publication.
The declaration comes after another sweeping decision Tuesday aimed at draining the Brotherhood's finances by freezing the funds of more than 1,000 non-government organizations with links to the group and putting more than 100 schools run by the group under government supervision. That directly attacks the grassroots strength of the Brotherhood, where it has much of its power in Egyptian life.
Eissa said Wednesday's decision means that those who "participate in the group's activities, in the organization or promotion verbally or by writing or by any other means or financing its activities" will be facing punishment according to the law.
"It's not possible for Egypt the state nor Egypt the people to submit to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorism," Eissa said.
He also said that the government had notified other Arab countries about its decision. The Brotherhood has organizations and political parties in other nations in the region. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said a regional agreement for combatting terrorism requires Arab countries to hand over those wanted by Egypt.
Ahmed el-Borai, the minister of social solidarity, told reporters that the decision means that demonstrations by the group will also be banned. He said that members who abandon their membership and withdraw from the group "will be pardoned."
The Brotherhood, founded in 1928, renounced violence in the late 1970s. Since rising to power after Mubarak's ouster, the Brotherhood had faced growing public anger over what critics said was its attempt to monopolize power, enshrine Islamic laws in the country's legislation and allying with some of the country's more radical Islamist groups.

We recently purchased a new car and after driving it for a few days I realized that the seats were too hard for me and my spinal fusion. This seat was recommended to me by a friend who also suffers from back pain, and I was glad I took her advice. This cushion completely solved my hard car seat problem, and my husband liked it so much that we ordered a second cushion for him. I would highly recommend for customers with back pain.
on 9/30/15
Material is much too thin to provide distributed support and comfort. Probably worth $45 and never $145.
on 9/30/15
This is the best cushion for driving comfort. While still recovering from a back injury, I've found that I can't sit in my car for long (even driving a short distance to work)—so I purchased this cushion. I also gave one as a gift.
I use this on short and long trips and find it gives me everything I need to be comfortable—relieving the pressure on specific areas and cradling some areas affected by an injury (in particular, the tailbone). The person I gave this to has far more serious back/nerve issues and finds it to be very helpful for a longer commute and doing general driving.
I'd recommend it to anyone!

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wanted to ask a question about Gore bike jackets.
having moved house, I'm currently commuting on a new route 10 miles a day (4 journeys in total), with an Altura Vision jacket that has stood me in good stead, but is proving too hot and sweaty now. It's also lost some of its waterproofing due to a washing-machine accident...
I'm set on replacing it with a Gore jacket but there seem to be so many options...
Just wondering if anyone has experience of the Countdown jacket (the one with a foldaway hood)?
Or any other specific Gore jacket recommendations.
I need it for year round usage, although in hot weather will probably just wear a thin relfective vest over my work shirt.
Many thanks.

Previous shortlist said: "Spectacular views of Table Mountain as you approach. One of the most beautiful cities on earth."
Matthew Stibbe said: "California dreaming! Located at the highest point on the island, it's also known as the 'airport in the sky."
Sylvie Peron said: "Tricky altiport to land at, since there isn't any second chance!"

Doug Gollan said: "Landing on an inclined runway after a flight zig zagging through deep valleys in the French Alps. "
Carol Cork said: "The highest airport in the world, just over a year old, sees a silver saucer terminal building nestled amongst Tibet's spectacular peaks and lakes."
David Scowsill said: "The approach to the World's busiest airport is a beautiful contrast. Building developments meet deep blue seas, with the Palm Jumeirah offering a striking welcome."
Ana Silva O'Reilly said: "Not for those with faint hearts. Landing at 'The Rock' requires a lot of skill (and adverse weather conditions redirect flights to Malaga too often), but if you are lucky it is stunning. Also very interesting to see the geographic differences between nearby Spain and this British territory."

Doug Gollan said: "The descent over the mountains takes one from desert to the lush Pacific Coast and on a Westward approach, gives those on the right hand side a birdseye view of downtown, the Hollywood sign and Beverly Hills. "
Frédéric Beniada said: "For the long final approach above the city. "
Ana Silva O'Reilly said: "If you land on the south runway and the sky is clear, you are treated to one of the most stunning landings in Europe, approaching the city via the Atlantic Ocean coast, and see Lisbon's iconic 25th of April bridge, as well as many of its landmarks. "
Bill Prince said: "As the city is swept up in its greatest makeover since the Great Fire of London, landing in the beating heart of the world's financial centre takes some beating. "
Clive Jacobs said: "Amazing views of London as you come in to land. "
Frédéric Beniada said: "For its steep approach and its short runway in the heart of the city. "
Previous shortlist, you said: "Bordered by sea on one side and hills on the other, with a stunning bridge-like extension into the Atlantic. "
Ana Silva O'Reilly said: "It takes a while to get there, but there are places that deserve the word paradise next to their names. On the approach, you will see many of the private hotel islands, and you won't be able to miss the contrast with the semi-organised chaos of Male island."
Chloe Pantazi said: "I picked Male as the top landing airstrip because of its remote beauty. Smack dab in the ocean, the runway offers a gorgeous view from above and on the ground."
Previous shortlist said: "You feel you might be about to mow the grass on the hilltop as you skim down to the runway - love the arrows reminding the pilot which direction is acceptable."
Tiffany Dowd said: "Nice Cote d'Azur has to be one of the most spectacular places to arrive and depart with this breathtaking coastline as far as the eye can see."
Previously shortlisted, you said: "Breathtaking views of the highest mountains on earth and the thrilling approach of almost brushing the pine trees. The seat clenching view of the tiny runway, culminating in the shortest heart thumping landing!"
Adam Twidell said: "A striking gateway to the stunning Turks & Caicos islands, the view on approach to Providenciales sees dotted islands surrounded by vivid aqua waters."
Bill Prince said: "A world class approach to a world class destination. The snatched panoramas as you descend into this hitherto barren-looking landscape makes you realise that pilots do get the best views."
Previous shortlist, you said: "The view of The Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Guanabara Bay are breathtaking and you land almost on an 'aircraft carrier' runway!"
Previous shortlist said: " A stunning approach between mountains in the Engadin Valley, a fittingly glamorous way to arrive in St. Moritz."
Adam Twidell said: "An amazing approach and landing over high terrain, which I've flown many times myself."
Previous winner said: "In the heart of the Alps, the approach to Sion gives you stunning mountain views as you follow the stunning Rhone valley."
Clive Jacobs said: "Got to get over the hill pretty quick otherwise you end up in the sea, makes it exciting."
Tiffany Dowd said: "Not only is landing in beautiful St. Barths picturesque, it's a complete thrill. With its short runway and quick drop down landing, it makes for an exciting arriving to the charming French West Indies."
Matthew Stibbe said: "So I could practice my Dutch in the sun with the most incredible landing close to the beach."
Chloe Pantazi said: "I chose the landing strip at St. Maarten for its proximity to the beach, giving a beautiful view for passengers on landing planes, and a prime photo op for beachgoers, as incoming jets fly overhead."
Benet Wilson said: "This perennial favorite is an avgeek's dream, for spotting and flying in. There's no room for error, with a short beach on final approach and mountains on departure. But it's always a thrill! "
Matthew Stibbe said: "A stunning landing to see the Northern lights."
Benet Wilson said: "During the winter, you only have a chance or two to make the runway, which is on a plateau surrounded by 14,000 foot mountain peaks."
Carol Cork said: "Dramatic scenery, with stunning views of the bay, the mountains and a low approach over the superyachts moored in Porto Montenegro marina."
Adam Twidell said: "A dramatically short island runway, surrounded by city and water. Just moments away from the centre of Toronto. "
Bill Prince said: "A city built for boats, not Boeings, but barely navigable on the 'ground'. Flying into Marco Polo gives you heads up on the most miraculous human habitat ever created."

|Global background characterization in 4.2- to 4.4-µm MWIR by using NOAA-12 data
|Burke, Hsiao-Hua; Tennyson, Peter; Kerekes, John; Finkle, Harry; Wack, Edward
|Background phenomenology databases and models are essential for the design and assessment ofelectro-optical sensing systems. The MWIR band has been proposed to satisfy a number of specific requirements in the DoD space based mission areas. However, the phenomenology database in the MWIR to support the design and performance evaluation is limited. Currently the High Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS/2) onboard NOAA 12, an operational polar orbiting environmental and weather satellite, offers continual global coverage of several bands in the MWIR. In particular, Channel 17 operates in the heart of the 4.23 micrometer CO2 band. Though with coarse resolution (~20 km), the vast database offers a good baseline understanding ofthe MWIR phenomenology related to space based MWIR systems on (1) amplitude variation as function oflatitude, season, and solar angle, (2) correlation to relevant MW1R features such as high-altitude clouds, stratospheric warming, aurora and other geomagnetic activities, (3) identification of potential low spatial frequency atmospheric features, and (4) comparison with future dedicated measurements. Statistical analysis on selected multiple orbits over all seasons and geographical regions was conducted. Global magnitude and variation in these bands were established. The overall spatial gradient on the 50 km scale was shown to be within sensor noise; this established the upper bound of spatial frequency in the heart-of-the-C02-band. Results also compared favorably with predictions from atmospheric background models such as the Synthetic High Altitude Radiance Code (SHARC-3.)

QuadruplicityIn astrology the term quadruplicity is used to refer to the grouping of certain signs into sets of four, which are thought to share the same quality.There are three "quadruplicities", which are also known as "modalities": ...

The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents on Friday named two veteran foresters as seconds in command of Texas Forest Service.
Bill Oates was named as associate director for Forest Resource Development and Sustainable Forestry, the division dedicated to promoting the health of trees and forests across the state. Oates has worked for the agency for nearly 30 years, serving most recently as interim associate director.
Mark Stanford was named as associate director for Forest Resource Protection, the division tasked with responding to wildfires and other disasters, statewide. Stanford has worked for the agency for more than 32 years, most recently as fire operations chief.
Stanford and Oates both were selected following a national search conducted jointly by Texas Forest Service, Texas Forestry Association and State Firemen's and Fire Marshals' Association of Texas. Their names were then submitted to the regents for review. Both are filling positions that have been vacant for several years.
Texas Forest Service Director and State Forester Tom Boggus praised the appointments, calling the pair a "natural fit."
"They know Texas, they know our agency, and they're both dedicated to serving the people of Texas," Boggus said, congratulating the pair. "It's not just a job that you come to every day for them; they've committed their lives to this agency."
A state agency operating under the umbrella of the A&M System, Texas Forest Service is tasked with protecting the state's trees, forests and related natural resources.
Both Oates and Stanford have served as active members of various community and industry associations throughout their careers. Stanford also has received many awards including the Texas A&M University System Regents Fellow designation in 2005 and a NASA Public Service Medal in 2003.
"It's wonderful to have two long-time foresters join the leadership team. I'm confident that they will continue the outstanding work of the Texas Forest Service across our state," said Mark A. Hussey, vice chancellor and dean for Agriculture and Life Sciences.
