Coaches not only ones with eye for young talent
THIS SUMMER - in the midst of our ongoing Olympic obsession - most of America might've missed the news that quarterback Tate Martell, a 14-year-old entering the eighth grade in San Diego, committed verbally to play football at the University of Washington starting in 2017.
(Of course, some of you may recall USC's Lane Kiffin getting a verbal commitment a couple of years ago from seventh-grade quarterback David Sills, 13, of Bear, Del.; if that kid's smart, he got something in writing about Kiffin staying at USC and USC staying off probation.)
Naturally, some folks are up in arms about this robbing-the-cradle-to-find-the-next-John-Hadl scenario; I am not. It's no different than prodigies in, say, tennis or gymnastics following a dedicated, athletic course of action well before their teen years, to optimize their potential.
In fact, the Tate Martell signing is part of a growing trend in America, to grab the best and the brightest early in the work-and-life cycle.
Some notable recent examples:
"He's our wakeup call into the 20th century," said Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe.
"Jimmy's always been fascinated by envelopes," his mother, Amanda, said. "We even used to pull him out of school to let him stand in line at the post office all day."
Reached during recess, Jimmy said his immediate goals were a return to the pony express ("I love ponies") and convincing Santa Claus ("he's a friend") to switch the bulk of his overnight-shipping business from UPS to the USPS.
"Joey rides a bike through some tough communities," NASA administrator Charles F. Bolden Jr. explained, "and the Curiosity rover has shown us that the terrain of a good deal of eastern Mars closely resembles the pothole-marked streets of Trenton."
"The kid's a whiz with Angry Birds and Temple Run," beamed IBM chairman Samuel J. Palmisano. "Hell, we saw him create an entire new operating system for our Linux on Power Performance Simulator while attending a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's two weekends ago.
"The thing is, every time I wake up, Apple's created some new gizmo it's rolling out to the tune of 14 million units sold. The early bird gets the worm, and this kid's up by 5 o'clock in the morning. [Note: Jamie is keeping his paper route.] He'll give us a jump on those Apple techno geeks."
"I know two things," Tea Party activist Keli Carender said. "Illegal aliens are here illegally, and taking back America starts with sure-handed youth raised by right-minded soccer Moms."
Ask The Slouch
Q. How many PBRs can you drink while Tiger Woods is lining up a three-foot putt just to miss it two inches to the right? (Charles Chichester Jr.; Clifton, Va.)
A. Nearly three-quarters of the PBRs I have in any given day are consumed waiting for Tiger Woods to putt; the other quarter are drank while watching a Bowflex infomercial.
Q. Are you fed up with the NFL's fill-in refs? (Mike Beeson; Albany, N.Y.)
A. Not at all. Actually, it's like when you have a substitute teacher - everyone just gets away with a little more stuff that day.
Q. If the Yankees and the Nationals both make it to the World Series, will it be billed as The House That Ruth Built versus The House That Boras Built? (Marty Chase; Chevy Chase, Md.)

SHAKER HEIGHTS -- High school seniors are watching what is happening in Washington, and it makes them nervous.
In Ms. Owens' AP Government class at Shaker Heights High School, students have been keeping a close eye on the political gridlock.
"It gives me less hope for the future," says Mia Wang, a Shaker senior.
These students have been designing political cartoons in class, and talking about political procedure.
"The fact they can't compromise is really pretty silly," says Patrick Reed, a senior.
These students work together in this class and other classes every day, and are graded in the Model United Nations for resolving conflicts.
"I worry about the economics of it all, and whether there will be jobs for us in the future," says Dayzia Gadson.

Like many 8-year-olds, Daniel Hester loves sports and video games. But Daniel also has a compassion for others beyond his years, says Chris Tressler, school counselor at New Market Elementary.
"He's a very caring guy," Tressler said. "He seems to always be thinking about how he can help other people. I don't know what Daniel needs. I don't know if he can even tell because he's always thinking about others."
After a recent visit to downtown Frederick, where he saw homeless people living without basic necessities, Daniel decided he wanted to do something. He and mother Lisa Kokal organized a coat drive in the lobby of his school for needy children and adults in the Frederick area.
"I cared about them because they didn't have the things that we have," he said. "I wanted them to be just like us and be warm. I just thought it was a good idea to give back."
Kokal said she wanted to make sure the coats would be used locally. She and Daniel approached Tressler, who is working with other schools in the county to identify areas of need where they can be distributed. The adult coats and any remaining children's coats will be donated to the Frederick Rescue Mission. The goal was originally 100 coats by Friday, but things have started out so well they decided to up it to 200, Kokal said. As of Wednesday, just six days into the drive, 78 coats were in the box. "When you get bigger numbers, you get more and more confident about breaking goals," Kokal said.
Kokal said she's hoping Thanksgiving will spur more people to donate by both giving them time to put donations together and helping put them in the giving spirit.
"You know Thanksgiving, I wish it was like every month," she said. "It makes people reflect and gives thanks. I get teary-eyed because I know there are so many out there who have so little. We all have things that we take for granted. Almost everyone has a coat in their closet they don't use."
Daniel said he couldn't be happier with how the drive has gone so far, and with the feeling he gets from helping others.
"It feels really good because you feel like you're taking action and actually doing something instead of just sitting around," he said.
Know of a person who would make a good Slice? If so, please send your suggestions to citydesk@newspost. com or call us at 301-662-1178 and ask for a city editor.

Ok, so they might get in to making mobiles... could prove good for the brand, if they managed that... But on the other hand, it would be really hard for them to do that.
Another thing they could do is to partner up with mobile manufactors, and supply optics and sensors and camera software, taking some of the profit margins and asking for branding on the devices, to spread brand recognition.
Small device imaging isn't dying, but point and shooters are.
There is some room for action cams... but mostly R&D should be spent on small sensors and optics, to supply mobile manufactors with technology far better than we find in todays mobiles (except for 808/1020).
High-end compacts still has a nische.

Hi, I am new to synthesizers, but I am very interested and have a LOT of free time. I want to start composing electronic music, but I'm not sure what gear I need to buy in order to record my synths into my computer to mix, sequence, or otherwise f*ck with.
I'm just looking for some sort of interface to record my synths into my computer, what should I buy?
I have a Dave Smith Instruments Mopho module and a Roland SH-01, and I will soon be buying a Mopho keyboard (for polychaining) and an Ms-20 mini once it is released.

NBS Helps Communities Fund Tomorrow with an Eye to Sustainability
From the flow of water to the flow of revenue, NBS helps facilitate the intricate balancing act that keeps communities running fiscally strong. NBS consultants and engineers have provided focused financial consulting, assessment engineering, special assessment software, ongoing special assessment, tax and fee administration, and related support to over 300 public agencies. The ultimate goal of NBS is to ensure quality results for the local public agencies it serves so that they are seen as serving their constituents in an exemplary manner.
NBS is also committed to being part of the solution to avoid overuse of resources in our economy today, striving to be good business partners with its local government clients.
Tim Seufert, Managing Director of NBS, put it very plainly: "Being "green" is good for our planet, our people and our bottom line. What can we do about global warming and our significant impact on the environment? We can simply lessen our business impact on the environment."
In 2007, NBS began measuring and neutralizing the carbon emissions associated with its office energy consumption and business-related travel. NBS's support of Carbonfund.org helps fight the effects of climate change through innovative projects such as the Tensas River reforestation project in Louisiana that absorbs carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as well as the Truck Stop Electrification project that has enabled truckers to reduce tailpipe emissions, saving a gallon of diesel per hour.
Over the past seven years, NBS has mitigated the effects of 875,000 pounds of carbon emissions through its support of Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction projects. This equates to removing the carbon dioxide produced by burning almost 45,000 gallons of gasoline.
In addition to neutralizing carbon emissions from unavoidable business travel and office energy usage, NBS continues to reduce its operational impact on the environment by:
• Minimizing usage of disposable materials by minimizing hard copy printouts in presentations and using dishware in the office instead of paper and plastic;
• Recycling paper and most food and beverage containers;
• Purchasing "good" paper and printing services, such as recycled paper and paper that meets the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards; and
• Prescribing to Carbonfund.org's motto of "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™" by minimizing travel via technology and online conferencing tools in lieu of physical travel.
NBS is a great example of a consultancy focused on improving the efficient, sustainable operation of communities by maintaining those principles within its own organization. Carbonfund.org congratulates NBS on its seventh year of carbon neutral operations.
Sequestration's Effect on the Environment and Climate Change – The Fight Begins Anew
Even as we hail President Obama's nomination of the very qualified Gina McCarthy to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we're barraged by news articles filled with warnings about the immediate and highly damaging effects of the budget sequestration on the environment.
Specifically, the budget cuts implemented last Friday will significantly impact the Department of Energy, the EPA, and the National Parks Service, and also will impair disaster relief funding, renewable energy development projects, and scientific research that could benefit environmental protection programs.
In his letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee, outgoing Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu outlined the severity of the sequestration's impact on the DoE's role in nuclear weaponry monitoring, environmental clean-up efforts, clean energy technology development and on basic scientific research.
Chu's statements regarding the funding cuts to clean energy technology projects were particularly forceful: "Under sequestration, funding reductions would decelerate the Nation's transition into a clean energy economy, and could weaken efforts to become more energy independent and energy secure, while spurring overall economic growth."
This prognosis is counter to the President's messages in his second Inaugural Address, calling for a serious response to the threat of climate change, and in the speech he delivered later on Inauguration night this past January calling for progress in "…freeing ourselves from foreign oil."
The EPA will suffer budget cuts resulting in employee layoffs and furloughs that will delay the finalization of rules governing the greenhouse gas emissions for new power plants, and will reduce the number of environmental inspections and environmental regulatory enforcement efforts. And funding cutbacks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will result in elimination of a number of firefighter and state and local emergency management positions, hampering disaster relief efforts.
The National Parks Service will lose over $100 million. This will delay park openings, reduce park entry access and visitor services, and according to Mother Jones, will also eliminate millions of dollars in tourism revenue that would otherwise support local economies.
The environmental impacts of the sequestration cuts will affect state-funded initiatives as well. The Washington Post published a chart of the state-by-state budget cuts due to sequestration in various categories, including clean air and water programs. Most states will experience multi-million dollar reductions in funding for environmentally-focused projects and protection measures.
While Obama's second Inaugural Address in January assured that "…we will respond to the threat of climate change," and Vice President Biden urged environmentalists to "Keep the faith" at the Green Ball on the eve of the second Inauguration, the far-reaching and immediately damaging effects of the sequestration cuts do not bode well for the climate activist faithful.
Rhetoric is being trumped by reality at the moment. We environmentalists cannot drop our collective guard or slack off the pressure to ensure that progress to protect our environment and address the damaging effects of Climate Change is made – now and continuing into the future.

The Post Register reports (http://bit.ly/WblgR5) that 40-year-old Lisa Marie Arthur had been living in Thornton, Colo., since the Idaho arrest warrant was issued in 1995, when she failed to appear in court. She faced a charge of lewd conduct with a minor younger than 16.
Late last month, Arthur, along with an attorney, turned herself in. On Thursday. she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery in 7th District Court.
"I give her some credit," Bonneville County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Daniel Clark said.
Clark said the alleged victim, now 33, denied a relationship happened. That led to the initial charge being amended to misdemeanor battery. He said Arthur needed to clear up the outstanding warrant so she could qualify for professional licensing in her nursing career.
Magistrate Judge Stephen Clark granted Arthur a withheld judgment. That means there was no guilty verdict and, if Arthur successfully completes her probation, she could have the charge dismissed.
Arthur's sudden appearance followed a report by the newspaper earlier this month about outstanding warrants held by the Idaho Falls Police Department. Arthur's was the oldest of 742 outstanding warrants.
Daniel Clark said Arthur had apparently avoided trouble with the law over the years and so was never picked up on the warrant. He speculated the warrant was so old that police in other states might not have known it existed.

Pepsi is hoping to win back soda drinkers with a compromise. Some people don't like the calories in regular soda, but loathe the taste of zero-calorie diet drinks. So the nation's No. 2 cola company is rolling out "Pepsi Next," a cola that has about half the calories of regular Pepsi at 60 calories per can.

Remember Jose and the picnic tables and place mats in the Choose Appropriate Tools For Given Metric Measurement Situations Concept? Well, now that Jose has figured out which tool to use, he needs to decide on the measurements for his place mats.
Jose knows that he is going to use a ruler, but isn't sure if he will be measuring in millimeters or centimeters.
What do you think?
This Concept will explain how to best choose decimal units for given measurement situations. You will learn how to help Jose with this question.
Now that we know about using the appropriate tool, we also need to choose the best unit to measure different things. The common metric units of length are millimeter, centimeter, meter and kilometer.
When is the best time to use each measurement?
You can think about this logically. Let's start with millimeters.
A millimeter is the smallest unit. There are 10 mm in one centimeter, if an object is smaller than one centimeter, then you would use millimeters.
Who would use millimeters?
A scientist measuring something under a magnifying glass might use millimeters to represent a tiny specimen.
A centimeter is the next smallest unit. We can use a ruler to measure things in centimeters. If an object is the length of a ruler or smaller, then it makes sense to use centimeters to measure.
Meters are used to measure everything between the length of a ruler and the distance between things in a room.
Most household objects such as a tables, rooms, window frames, television screens, etc. would be measured in meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances. If we are looking to figure out the length of a road, the distance between two locations, etc, we would use kilometers.
Think about each example and then choose the best unit to measure each.
Example A
The height of a picture on the wall
Solution: Meters
Example B
A caterpillar
Solution: Centimeters
Example C
The width of a penny
Solution: Millimeters
Now let's go back to Jose and the place mats. Here is the original problem once again.
Remember Jose and the picnic tables and place mats in the Choose Appropriate Tools For Given Metric Measurement Situations Concept? Well, now that Jose has figured out which tool to use, he needs to decide on the measurements for his place mats.
Jose knows that he is going to use a ruler, but isn't sure if he will be measuring in millimeters or centimeters.
If Jose is going to use a ruler, there are only two options for measurement. These are either millimeters or centimeters. Jose has chosen two measurements that are accurate.
Now which one should he use?
Well, millimeters is a very tiny measurement unit. If you think about a place mat, it is about the same size as a piece of paper, or a little larger than that. If Jose uses millimeters, it would be very difficult.
Therefore, it makes sense for Jose to use centimeters to measure his place mats.
- Metric System
- a system of measurement
- Length
- the measurement of a object or distance from one end to the other
- Millimeter
- the smallest common metric unit of measuring length, found on a ruler
- Centimeter
- a small unit of measuring length, found on a ruler
- Meter
- approximately 3 feet, measured using a meter stick
- Kilometer
- a measurement used to measure longer distances, the largest common metric unit of measuring length
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Jesse is going to rearrange all of his furniture. He wants to know if his sofa will fit between two windows on the east wall of the room. Which unit would he use to measure the distance between the two windows?
Since Jesse is measuring something larger than a ruler, he would use meters to measure the space between the two windows.

Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil
this wiki
Last updated: January 28, 2014
The French organization Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil credits three "Ps" for their successes in spreading solar cookers: passion, perseverance, and positive attitude. In 2008, they trained around 1,800 new solar cooks. As of the end of 2011, Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil had distributed more than 16,000 cookers in the Andean countries of Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Argentina, benefiting 80,000 people in communities there. Thirty of their solar cooking trainers are present in these Andean countries. Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil also distributes Rocket Stoves in Chile and Argentina and has several initiatives in Africa, where an emphasis is placed on the wood saving aspect of solar cookers and the Rocket Stove. These initiatives have met with considerable success.
In their home country of France, Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil has programs for school age children centered around solar cooking.
Most significant projects
- Bolivia and Peru have benefitted from successful solar cooking programs - The French NGO, Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil and Bolivian NGO CEDESOL (working with Bolivian company Sobre la Roca, which produces solar cookers and high efficiency biomass stoves) have together trained thousands of Bolivians and Peruvians to build and use sturdy solar box cookers and fuel-efficient woodstoves. Bolivia Inti-Sud reports they have distributed more than 20,000 ecological appliances since 2000. See Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil projects
- See other Most significant solar cooking projects worldwide.
- See Calendar of events.
News and recent developments
- January 2014: Volunteers for Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil, Michel Perrin and Jacques Prévost, have recently finished a comparative test of ten various biomass stoves. It can be reviewed here: Tests D'E'Bullition D'eau
- October 2011: Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil reports they have distributed more than 20,000 ecological appliances since 2000. From these 20,000, 14,000 are solar cookers, mainly distributed in the South American countries of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, and 5,000 Rocket stoves distributed in the African countries of Benin, Chad, and Guinea as well as in the South American countries. Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil has also distributed fireless cookers, solar dryers and solar showers.
- August 2011 : The solar cookers project conducted by Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil in Bolivia has been registered par the [Gold Standard]. It is only the second project of solar cookers in the world registered by the Gold Standard.
- May 2011: Solar Household Energy(SHE) was commissioned to test acceptance of the HotPot solar oven in the Gaga refugee camp in eastern Chad. It shelters 20,000 people from Darfur in Western Sudan. Patrick Fourrier, a French solar cooking expert affiliated with Bolivia Inti Sud Soleil, completed the first phase of the project last month. He will also ensure that local support systems set in place to encourage continued use of the solar ovens are working effectively. Read more in the SHE spring update 2011.
- August 2010: Project News: Bolivia - Peru Solar Cook Stoves - actioncarbone.org
- May 2009: National Sun Day on the 8th of May 2009, event organized by Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil in all France
- May 2008: Grenelle de la cuisson solaire et écologique - Organisé par Bolivia Inti-Sud Soleil en partenariat avec le CPIE Loire Océane du Pouliguen. Robert Chiron, le chef de cuisine, et son équipe de Bolivia Inti–Sud Soleil ont le plaisir de vous inviter à participer à ces deux journées festives et plus particulièrement à l'inauguration programmée le 8 mai à 12h00 dans le jardin jouxtant le CPIE Loire Océane au Pouliguen (France).
- April 2006: Under the auspices of the French NGO Bolivia Inti, alternative energy experts David Whitfield and Ruth Whitfield introduced solar cooking to many villages in Bolivia between 2001 and 2003. After demonstrating solar cookers in public forums, they then trained those people expressing interest in how to make and use solar cookers. Research was conducted in the central highlands of Bolivia in 2005 to assess the continuing impacts of solar cooking on participants of these solar cooking courses conducted by the Whitfields. The researcher, Chris Pell of the University College London, interviewed 170 people with and without solar cookers to determine whether their use affected household fuel consumption. The data showed that 92.7% of the solar cooking course participants continue to use their solar cooker three to five years after the course ended. In fact, 62.4% of all participants use their solar cooker at least once a day during the dry season, demonstrating a lifestyle change that incorporates solar cooking into their daily lives. The solar cooker now supplements their other energy sources: gas, wood, or a combination of gas and wood.[1]

If voters approve a proposed 3/4 cent sales tax hike on the Nov. 6 ballot, Rifle businesses could wind up footing much of the bill.
The increase would help cover the $25 million needed for a new water treatment plant, and could reduce the rate of future water rate increases.
As a result, the way local business people feel about the measure may hinge on whether or not their businesses depend on low water rates to thrive.
"I have been trying to get people to vote for the sales tax increase, because the plant is 30 years old, and we can't buy parts for it. It needs to be replaced," said Vicky Choate, chairman of the Rifle Housing Authority, which provides housing to senior citizens in Rifle.
According to Choate, the housing authority pays water bills for 161 senior housing units, meaning that recent rate increases hit the authority especially hard.
The rate increases don't directly affect the seniors, Choate said, because they don't pay their own water bills. But at some point, higher water rates could conceivably induce the authority to raise rent on its elderly tenants.
"It's a no-win situation, but someone is going to have to pay for the water one way or the other," said Choate. "If we get the sales tax increase, everyone who passes through town will help pay for the plant."
That's precisely what Kevin Rider doesn't want to see. As co-owner of Timberline Sports in Rifle, Rider caters to throngs of out-of-town visitors who come to Rifle each year to hunt and fish.
In his mind, these visitors shouldn't be asked to pay for a water system they barely use.
"I think water should be paid for by those who use it," he said. "They shouldn't ask folks who shop in Rifle to pay for water."
Rider said he wished the city had considered a property tax increase as an alternative means of financing the plant, since Rifle property owners are likely to also have a stake in the city's water system.
"Every place I've ever lived, you pay for what you use, and that's it," Rider said.
In September, the city imposed rate increases that pushed the base rate for up to 4,000 gallons of water from $18.29 to $30. The changes resulted in 50-60 percent jumps in the water charges incurred by many residents.
They also introduced new tiers of water use, increasing rates for users of between 4,000 and 8,000 gallons, as well as those who used between 8,000 and 20,000 gallons and those who used more than 20,000 gallons.
More increases are scheduled to take effect in April. Those increases would push the $30 base rate to $37, and hike rates all the way up the consumption scale.
However, City Manager John Hier has said more sales tax revenue could offset the need for those increases, and could allow the city to roll back some of the rate increases already in effect.

If you would like to make a donation or volunteer to help with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Augusta, just call (706) 504-4071.
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A mother is worried about the safety of her daughter after the Boys and Girls Club stopped offering transportation in her neighborhood.
"There is too much that goes on world to let an 8-year-old to walk from her school to Boys and Girls Club by herself," said Belinda Jackson.
Last year, the Boys and Girls Club bus picked Jackson's daughter up from Collins Elementary. However, this year, Jackson's daughter must walk to blocks to the Boys and Girls Club if she wants to continue to go after school.
"We are very limited in our resources in transportation in transporting kids," said Gary Winferry with the Boys and Girls Club.
Close to 500 children attend the Boys and Girls Clubs of Augusta everyday. The organization provides transportation to 150 of them.
Recent budget cuts combined with a rise in memberships means they simply can't pick up every child, especially those that live within walking distance.
"We decided those kids that go to Collins from Cherry Tree Crossing, they're walking to school in the morning, they got to walk to the neighborhood in the afternoon, so we did not pick up those five students anymore," Winferry said.
The Boys and Girls Club only has three vans and one bus to serve the entire CSRA.
Jackson doesn't let her daughter walk school, mainly because they do live in Cherry Tree Crossing. She says the one positive thing in her neighborhood is the Boys and Girls Club.
"I love it. I love it because it does a lot for our kids," Jackson said.
Winferrry later told Jackson that he would arrange transportation for her daughter.

For hundreds of years the world has marveled at the works of art created by the "Old Masters" during the Renaissance. Not only did their achievements arise from training and talent, but also from the techniques they used in preparing their materials. It wasn't until the 20th century that some of these formulas were rediscovered.
Grumbacher has continued this tradition in the manufacture of its painting mediums, by assuring that the original paint attributes are enhanced, not compromised, by their use. Grumbacher mediums thicken or thin paints without harming their adhesive, binding, or film-forming qualities, and allow artists to achieve myriad effects such as increased flow and rapid or slow drying. They also have been proven to guard against yellowing and cracking over the course of many generations.
Alkyd Painting Medium — The ultimate alkyd painting vehicle, Grumbacher Alkyd Painting Medium lubricates oil color for easier surface glide, allowing for up to eight hours of painting with little, if any, brush drag. A thixotropic painting medium (the more you stir, the more fluid it becomes), it produces rich, transparent, luminous glazes and may be diluted with any conventional oil painting solvents. Odorless, non-yellowing, and archival, it dries to the touch and is ready for overpainting within 12 hours.
Cobalt Drier — Grumbacher Cobalt Drier is the only siccative that has been scientifically proven to be the least harmful to use for fine art painting. Cobalt Drier speeds drying of oil colors and oil painting mediums. Because it is extremely strong, Cobalt Drier should be used sparingly by applying it in drops. It should not be mixed directly into oil paints, but first mixed into an oil painting medium, which can then be added to the paint. Cobalt Drier should always be tested before using it in a painting.
Copal Painting Medium — A traditional 19th century painting medium prepared especially for hobbyists and decorative painters
Damar Liquid Varnish — This is a pure gum damar that is used to enrich dry oil paintings. Quick-drying and permanent, it provides a transparent high gloss finish that also protects oil paintings from dirt, moisture, and scuffs. When used properly, it will not "bloom" or cloud with age. Apply it when paintings are thoroughly dry (between 6-12 months). It cleans up easily with paint thinner or other mild solvents.
Damar Retouch Varnish — Damar Retouch Varnish is a spray damar varnish for use during intermediate stages of development in an oil painting to even out the gloss of unfinished works, or to revive sunken in or dry areas to aid in accurate color comparison for further painting.
Damar Varnish — A colorless, genuine Damar varnish for use as a final protective coating on thoroughly dry oil paintings. It brings out the beauty of oil colors with an soft, even, matte finish, while protecting paintings from dirt, moisture, and scuffs. Designed to provide a uniformly fine mist, it quickly dries to a matte or gloss finish that is transparent, permanent, and will not "bloom" or cloud with age.
Apply when painting is completely dry, normally within six to 12 months. One coat covers; allow five minutes between coats if a heavier application is desired. Damar Varnish contains Damar gum, turpentine, and isopropyl alcohol.
Japan Drier — Grumbacher Japan Drier is a reliable alkyd
MG Underpainting White — This permanent, fast-drying Titanium White oil paint is designed for use in underpainting or in
Modeling Paste — This is a flexible, durable paste for creating textured surfaces to be over-painted with oil or acrylic paints. Apply it to canvas, wood, cardboard, plaster, concrete, masonry, and other surfaces.
Oil Painting Medium I — For use with artists' oil colors where a matte finish is desired, this medium is especially useful for under-painting on an absorbent gesso ground or for mural work. Add it directly to oil color in small quantities for increased fluidity and enhanced ease of application. Composed of poppy oil, copaiba, balsam, and solvent, it does not affect the brilliance of even the most subtle tints.
Oil Painting Medium II — Formulated especially to improve flow, retard drying time, and impart a high gloss finish to the dried paint film, this is the ideal painting medium for alla prima (wet-in-wet) painting techniques. For best results, add it to paint in small amounts until the desired consistency is obtained. It contains D-Limonene and petroleum distillates, and may be diluted with pure gum spirits or turpentine.
Oil Painting Medium III — Dilutes oil color to speed drying time and improve paint flow. Add it directly to the color in small quantities. It's perfect for detail work.
Pale Drying Oil — This safe,
Picture Varnish, Gloss — A final varnish for dry oil and acrylic paintings that protects them from dirt, moisture, and scuffs. Crystal-clear when applied, it quickly dries to a gloss finish that is non-yellowing and flexible. It can be easily removed with paint thinner or other mild solvents. Apply when painting is completely dry, normally within three to five days for acrylic paintings, and six to 12 months for oil paintings. One coat covers; allow five minutes between coats if a heavier application is desired. 11 oz (311 g) aerosol can.
Picture Varnish, Matte — A final varnish for dry oil and acrylic paintings that protects them from dirt, moisture, and scuffs. Crystal-clear when applied, it quickly dries to a matte finish that is non-yellowing and flexible. It can be easily removed with paint thinner or other mild solvents. Apply when painting is completely dry, normally within three to five days for acrylic paintings, and six to 12 months for oil paintings. One coat covers; allow five minutes between coats if a heavier application is desired. 11.25 oz (318 g) aerosol can.
Poppyseed Oil — Grumbacher Poppyseed Oil is a purified, non-yellowing oil painting medium. When mixed with oil colors, it slows their drying rate, allowing ample time for blending and other wet-into-wet techniques. It also makes colors smoother, improves their flow, and helps level out brushstrokes. It may be diluted with Grumtine, pure gum spirits of turpentine, or odorless paint thinner.
Sun-Thickened Linseed Oil — A
ZEC Medium — Accelerate the drying time of your painting with this clear and colorless colloidal oil painting medium. Grumbacher ZEC Medium maintains the consistency and hue of the colors and holds any desired texture. In normal applications, paintings dry to the touch in 4 to 6 hours. ZEC should be diluted with Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine or Grumtine only. It is not compatible with petroleum solvents, paint thinners, or odorless paint thinners. Mixtures of ZEC in excess of

Comments On Jan 01, 2016:very nice strong rope, works well for snow plowing
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Nov 20, 2014:If you are looking for a sacraficial rope for plowing, this is a cheap alternative for the big name ones. I saw the complaint about it breaking several times, but I have a suspician that the person had a worn fairlead that was causing abraision to the rope. It is only a rope, it isnt indestructable. To remedy that to the best of my ability, I noticed my fairlead was not worn on the top roller at all. When I installed the rope, I just inverted my fairlead and now it has a very smooth, new-liker roller to slide on. In the spring when I reinstall the cable, I will just put the fairlead back so I always have a near new roller for my plow rope. If both are worn, pick up a new fairlead just for plowing. For about $20, it will keep your plow rope like new for years.

Comments On May 05, 2014:If you plow, get this! Better to replace nylon than a whole steel winch line. Only takes 15 min to swap.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 19, 2013:I used this for a 72" plow blade this past winter. No problems or separation, and the synthetic material seems to be holding up very well. The price is far less than that of the Warn rope, but it is better quality than the synthetic rope that came with my Warn winch.

Comments On Dec 23, 2012:I like that it is so easy to swap out my normal winch line for this thicker rope for plowing. After a few uses, it seems like it is starting to fray a little bit where it goes over the roller repeatedly but not enough that I'm worried it will break. Worst case scenario, I'll toss it after the plow season and buy another for next winter. $15 a year to save my $50+ normal winch line from this abuse is an acceptable cost to me but we'll see how how it wears as time goes on.
Additional Comments On Jan 11, 2013:I originally rated this 5 stars but after the rope breaking today I'll drop it to 2 stars. I havent plowed with it that much and when I winch up, I make sure not to winch it up all the way to put unnecessary strain on it. It broke right where it goes over the rollers. I tied the broken end to the plow and kept on plowing and that also broke where it goes over the rollers. Had to tie the broken end to the plow two more times. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to buy another Tusk rope to see if it was just a bad rope or try one of the more expensive brand of ropes.

Comments On Nov 08, 2012:A little too short for my taste, but it does work! I hope it stands up to the weather and plow weight.
Shipped fast and had a good price from RMAtv.

Comments On Oct 26, 2011:I got an early start plowing this year since I had to use my snow plow to move gravel around. I have used other plow ropes that cost way to much. this rope is priced reasonable and works great. It is very strong and has taked a lot of abuse and still looks great!

- This article is about Eddard Stark's elder brother, for other uses see Brandon Stark (disambiguation).
- Eddard Stark: "I understand you knew my brother Brandon as well."
- Petyr Baelish: "All too well. I still carry a token of his esteem from navel to collarbone."
- — Eddard Stark and Petyr Baelish's first meeting.[src]
Brandon Stark is an unseen character mentioned in the first season. He is deceased when the events of the series begin. He was scheduled to appear in the first season in flashback in a scene that was filmed, but later dropped for time reasons. Brandon Stark was the heir of Rickard Stark, the Lord of Winterfell. He was killed by the Mad King when he protested the kidnapping of his sister Lyanna Stark by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen.
Brandon Stark was the eldest son and heir of Lord Rickard Stark. Rickard was the head of House Stark and Lord Paramount of the North. The North is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Stark is one of the Great Houses of the realm. House Stark rule the region from their seat of Winterfell and Rickard also held the title Lord of Winterfell.[1]
Brandon was the older brother of Eddard, Lyanna and Benjen Stark. His father arranged for his betrothal to Catelyn Tully. Brandon defended Catelyn's honor in a duel with Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish. He defeated Baelish and left him with a scar that ran from neck to stomach.[2]Brandon was killed by the Mad King, along with his father, after they protested the kidnapping of Lyanna by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen. Lord Rickard was burned alive inside his armor with wildfire, while Brandon was tied to a strangulation device, with a sword mere inches from his hands and strangled himself by trying to reach the sword.[3] This brutal act triggered Robert's Rebellion, the civil war that led to the removal of House Targaryen from the Iron Throne.[4]
Eddard named his son Bran in his elder brother's memory.
Season 1
Reaching King's Landing, Lord Eddard Stark is greeted by Ser Jaime Lannister in the throne room, who recalls listening to Eddard's father and brother scream as hundreds watched them die at the whim of the Mad King. He suggests his assassination of the Mad King was an act of justice, but Eddard dismisses that as a paltry self-justification for breaking his solemn vows. Shortly afterwards, Littlefinger recounts how Brandon wounded him in a duel. Eddard is unsympathetic to Littlefinger's predicament.[5]
Family tree
Behind the scenes
An unidentified actor was cast to play Brandon in a flashback scene. Footage of the scene appeared in the "Fear and Blood" first season trailer but has not appeared in any aired episode of the series. The scene was cut for time reasons.
In the books
Shortly after the confrontation between Brandon and Littlefinger mentioned above, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen kidnapped Lyanna Stark. Brandon and a group of close friends, all sons of powerful lords, rode to King's Landing to seek redress from King Aerys II Targaryen. The Mad King, furious that anyone would question his son's actions, took Brandon prisoner and summoned Lord Rickard to answer for his impertinence. He had both Starks executed: Rickard was cooked alive in his armor by pyromancers led by Wisdom Rossart, while Brandon watched, bound with a leather cord around his neck and a longsword just out of reach, strangling himself trying to get to the sword to save his father.
Brandon's brother Eddard became Lord of Winterfell, married Catelyn Tully in his stead, and raised the banners of rebellion, beginning a bloody civil war that ended with deaths of both Prince Rhaegar and the Mad King.
In the books, Brandon was described as a larger and more handsome man than his younger brother Ned. The TV series makes a departure from this, with Petyr Baelish stating that Eddard is an 'even more impressive specimen' than his older brother.

Civil War Ships – Monitor Model Ship
When Civil War enthusiasts and history buff alike think of famous naval battles of the Civil War, what usually comes to mind? Of course, it could be none other than the fierce battle between ironclad ships. That's right, on March 9th, 1862 the Union's newly constructed Monitor met the Confederate's USS Virginia (also known as the Merrimack), at the Battle of Hampton Roads at the mouth of the James River. For months, the USS Virginia had been terrorizing the traditional wooden ships of the Union forces. In order to put a stop to this the Union made an ironclad ship of their own, The Monitor. Historically, this was a very important battle because the Confederates were using their powerful ironclad USS Virginia to sink Union ships and break through the crucial Union naval blockade of Virginia. In order to maintain the blockade and naval supremacy the Union new it needed its own ironclad ship. So was born the Monitor.
The Monitor Ironclad Boat
Even though the Monitor and USS Virginia blasted away at each other for hours, neither was able to overtake the other. Historians tell that this was the result of both ships being well protected by their iron armor. Yet, strategically, it was considered a victory of the Monitor. Not only did the Monitor act as the counter to the Confederate's ironclad ship, but also upheld the Union naval blockade of Virginia. Therefore, the Union cheered the battle as a victory and historians marked the battle as great leap forward in naval technology. Seeing that the Monitor is such in important vessel for both boat lovers and history aficionados, what better way is there to commemorate groundbreaking ship than with an authentic replica? In that case, Handcrafted Model Ships (HMS) is at your service with the official Monitor Civil War model ship.
Crafting The Perfect Monitor Replica
As will all ships from HMS the Monitor replica is top-notch. This Monitor ship is not a model ship kit, it comes 100% assembled and ready to be displayed. The ship's exact dimensions are 21″ long x 5″ Wide x 7″ High (1:98 scale), the perfect size for viewing as well as being easily placed inside a collector's showcase. This Monitor replica was fabricated using the photos, drawings, and plans from the original ship. No detail was sparred, everything from the iron rivets that cover the boat to the genuine cloth Union flag are included in this Monitor replica. Furthermore, the trademark turrets from where the Monitor fired upon its enemies are also present on HMS's Monitor ship.
The Civil War Monitor Ship Model Makes A Special Addition To Any Collection

Hello Ari,
I've been enjoying your blog and book so much. If you ever return to Stockholm again, there's a lady I'm sure you'd enjoy meeting. Her name is Maria LLerena, and she's been an international salsa queen since '66. She's still going strong in every way, she performs, travels, make new outfits and hats and learns new things every day. She's a true inspiration.

The multi-talented Lyman Currier competes in halfpipe, slopestyle, and big air and has taken the world by storm. Making waves on the rookie circuit during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Currier landed himself a spot on the inaugural U.S. Olympic halfpipe team in 2014.
Coming in hot to the 2014 Olympic qualifying series, Currier bagged three podium finishes, including the win at the Park City Grand Prix, and earned his Olympic spot through objective criteria. Following in the footsteps of his father, David Currier, who was an Olympic Alpine skier in 1972, Lyman represented his country at the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games for his sport's debut. Under bright lights and snowy skies, Currier suffered a blown ACL during the qualifying round, putting his Olympic gold dreams on hold for another four years. With so many accomplishments under his belt at 19 years of age, the world can expect to see more of Lyman Currier.
Currier joined the U.S. Freeskiing Rookie Team in 2012, and after recovering from a knee injury later that year; he hopped right back to where he left off. In 2013 he took first in halfpipe at The North Face Park & Pipe Open Series at Northstar. He then went on to take first in slopestyle at the FIS World Cup Finals in Sierra Nevada, Spain.
