grand daughter loves them
fit her well do not leak comfy

great for small children
These are perfect for our five year old daughter. We went through many goggles and my daughter didn't like any of them, but the foam has really made a difference. The foam is a good quality type that doesn't easily wear out.

good goggles for little kids
We liked the foam very much but the strap is not sturdy at all. I hope they last! My 5 year old said they were comfortable.

Nice Fit
I like these so far. They fit nicely and my daughter seems to like them as well. She is four- a big four and they aren't slipping or losing grip. Fits snugly around her eyes. They are a good fit.

Nice fit.
Fogs up but otherwise my child is happy with it.
Humble, TX
comfortable for kids!
only swim goggles my girls will wear. Strap does wear from chlorine but expected. Not easy to adjust but once set, no worries. They use for fun and swim classes.

Great fo kids
Its comfortable and easy to adjust. My son went to the beach with it and there was no leaks using it. Its only been used once so my only concern is that the foam padding may degrade but I haven't noticed any yet. Its relatively inexpensive and he's still growing so I hope he'll need a larger goggle before it needs new padding.

Great Goggles
My daughter loves these. They are easy to put on, fit nicely, are very comfortable (per her) and easy to adjust. No complaints, would buy them again.

Excellent Choice
It is worth the money paid for it. Better than many store available goggles.

My daughter's favorite goggles
My daughter loves these goggles and only wants to wear this kind. I think the price is excellent, but they are not the easiest to adjust and they do have problems at time during dives (as do most goggles). Still, they are so cheap that I can buy them two at a time so that there is always a backup!

Straps are WEAK
My son went to put them on for the first time and the strap broke. I would think if these were for youth the straps would have been a little more stronger. VERY disappointed with the product...

Very comfortable
My kids really like these goggles. They are so comfortable.

doesn't leave those red marks around the eyes
My 10 year old swimmer likes these goggles because they stay in place and I like the fact that they don't leave those red circles around her eyes!
Atlanta, GA
Easy to adjust
I bought these for our 5 year old son who swims 2+ times a week. The headband is soft and flexible which makes it easier for him to put them on himself. Since it's a "single" band we can tighten or loosen quickly as needed. Of course the foam pieces around the eyes make the super comfy for him. The only other thing we could ask for is a better color selection. Color is important to a kid.
Chicago, IL
Perfect goggles
I love these goggles. I am a woman with a small face and I swim several times a week as well as participate in triathlons. I have used these goggles in the pool and in a race and they are so comfortable and they haven't leaked once. I have gone through countless goggles (women's and youth) trying to find ones that don't leak and don't leave rings on my face. Even the ones that say that are for women with small faces never worked for me, but these did! Other kids goggles would fit without leaking most of the time but had to be so tight. These have foam instead of silicone and don't cause the same pressure. I am so happy I tried them.

Love these Goggles!
These goggles are great! They fit well and seals with little effort - even without water. For the price, we received excellent quality!

great buy
Like these googles a lot, just wish the lens color was a little darker.

we launched into space and rotated the moon several days.... we then had several actors on a set in area 51 pretend they were on the moon. we then launched back to earth unharmed......
the footprints:converse on the moon?
in a still frame from when the first person was getting off the LEM, you can see different footprints from different tennis shoes, i have even identified as some from converse
flagwaving:one of the most convicing evidence
everyone knows flags dont wave on thier own. how do they wave on an airless envirement?
walking: slow-mo?
on a video provided on another thread from a tv show they show how when you speed the video when they were walking by 2x it looks as if they were walking on the earth
the scenes: same sets?
on the same video, it show some different scenes where if sychronized, have the same backround?
niel armstrong says "the moons surface is like the nevada desserts" home of area 51:
now that just seems odd.... i have nothing to say
no crater from engine blast: was the blast fake?
when they landed on the moon a huge blast is seen, but no crater. doesnt that seem wierd
no exhaust plume when the LEM took off. was it lifted by wires?
when you see the LEM leave the moon and take off back to earth. there is no exhaust plume. could this be the effect of it being lifted by wires?
that is all i have to say on the subject, thank you for reading
EDIT: found something even mor interesting
in pictures you can see shadows, which apparrently shouldnt be there since the only light source is the sun millions of miles away, which still can get there because there is now special atmospere thing that earth has, its tough to explain... but anothere thing about the shadows is they go in different directions...!!!!!! if somebody can explain that in a logical way without making something up, i will be suprised!

I've been following the Tasky Case Study on the MonoDroid website, but I've run into a wall whilst creating a filtering and ordering query. I was wondering if somebody could explain where I might be going wrong please? I'm probably doing something completely backwards!
I get the error:
The type arguments for method 'ICanTalk.BusinessLayer.Services.WordServices.Find(System.Func, System.Func, bool, int, int)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly.
I have the following code in one of my repositories, hopefully what I'm trying to do is kind of clear. I haven't been able to build it yet to test to see if it works though:
public static IEnumerable<Word> Find<T,U>(Func<Word, bool> whereClause, Func<Word,U> orderBy, bool ascending, int show, int page)
int currentPage = page;
int resultsPerPage = show;
int skip = currentPage*show;
var result = ascending
? me.db.Find<Word>().Where(whereClause).OrderBy(orderBy).Take(resultsPerPage).Skip(skip)
: me.db.Find<Word>().Where(whereClause).OrderByDescending(orderBy).Take(resultsPerPage).Skip(skip);
return result;
From my services I call this method from here:
public static IList<Word> Find<T>(Func<Word, bool> whereClause, Func<Word,DateTime> orderBy, bool ascending, int show, int page)
return WordRepository.Find<Word, DateTime>(whereClause, orderBy, ascending, show, page).ToList();
What I'm trying to achieve is a call from an event handler within MonoDroid like:
var wordTest = WordServices.Find(x => x.ChildId == 3, x => x.AddedAt, true, 5, 1);

Ok, first thing, EVO is a coop play style not played fairly by many.
I don't think most are ignorant off there actions but this is not the
time for that subject, I'm going to explain what I mean by fair.
Your deck should not be more than 20, if need be have 2 or 3 decks.
You are not limited to how many different decks you can name.
I modify mine daily but thats just my way.
Your 20 cards need to be balanced. eg.(10 fully evolved/10 not fully evolved)
The 10 fully evolved should ONLY be 4 and 5 star cards, VERY IMPORTANT,
so you provide, and vice versa are provided, a higher evo % in the end.
Your 10 not fully evolved cards which you are seeking to fully evolve
need not be a specific star level just keep a 10/10 deck balance because
otherwise you may end up with 3 FE(fully evolved)cards and only 1 NFE(not
fully evolved)card.Which does YOU an injustice.
When choosing your card during play ALWAYS play your 4/5 star FE
card versus there NFE card as they will do the same, hopefully

Overnight Media Digest
* President Obama's efforts to project himself as a protector of the middle class have strengthened him for the general election, while Mitt Romney has gained traction with his argument that he can improve the economy.
* Dewey & LeBoeuf is considering a novel rescue plan that would put the law firm into bankruptcy protection but might be its best hope at preserving value at a prestigious firm that this year has been hemorrhaging talent.
* Rising layoffs, falling home sales and slowing manufacturing activity are sparking fears that the economic recovery is headed for a springtime stall for the third year in a row.
* An unprofitable business-technology start-up with a funny name turned in the best stock debut this year. Splunk closed up 109 percent, the latest proof that the tech-stock appetite extends beyond hot names like Facebook.
* Verizon, fed up with the high costs of offering the iPhone, plans to push smartphones powered by Microsoft's Windows software, as a counterweight to the popular Apple device.
* The SEC voted to take an enforcement action against Egan-Jones Ratings, alleging the credit-rating firm's regulatory filings included inaccuracies.
* Ford Motor Co said it would build its fifth car factory in eastern China as part of a plan to double its production capacity and sales outlets in the country by 2015 -- a $5 billion bet overall on a market where the U.S. auto maker faces significant challenges.
* The hedge-fund industry is bigger than ever before, after a market rally helped lift assets under management to a record. Total hedge-fund assets surged to $2.13 trillion at the end of the first quarter, beating the previous high of $2.04 trillion, set in the middle of last year, according to Hedge Fund Research Inc. Higher returns, rather than the flow of new money from investors, accounted for a large portion of the industry's growth.
A Sony-led consortium won European Union clearance on Thursday for its $2.2 billion purchase of EMI's music publishing business, giving unexpectedly early antitrust approval to one half of a deal to split the independent British music group.
Moscow has ordered that charges be brought against TNK-BP , BP's Russian oil venture, over damages caused by oil spills in Siberia.
Egan-Jones and the credit rating agency's founder may face civil charges for allegedly filing misleading information in its 2008 application to rate asset-backed securities and sovereign debt, according to people familiar with the matter.
Qatar's sovereign wealth fund has made its first big investment in a U.S. public company by acquiring a 5.2 percent stake in Tiffany, the jewellery retailer known for its diamond rings and blue, ribboned boxes.
Companies and bankers have been encouraged by UK regulators to share takeover plans more freely with investors in the wake of G4S's 5.2 billion pound ($8.35 billion) failed bid for Danish cleaning company ISS.
Goldman Sachs is in late-stage negotiations over the sale of its Petershill fund, a high-profile investment vehicle which owns stakes in some of the world's most successful hedge fund managers.
The contract for one of the most challenging and costly salvage operations ever mounted is expected to be awarded this weekend as Italian officials and insurance companies select the winner of a tender to recover the Costa Concordia cruise liner, which sank off Tuscany in January.
Shareholders in Barclays have forced the British bank to accept tougher bonus conditions and promise higher dividends, highlighting how the balance of power between investors and managers is shifting at some of the biggest global banks.
British finance minister George Osborne has been warned not to ignore the will of parliament in appointing a new Bank of England governor, as debate intensified at Westminster over whether a foreign candidate - possibly Mark Carney of Canada's central bank - should be considered for the post.
* Global finance leaders are meeting in Washington to discuss oil prices, unemployment and other issues putting a cloud over the economy.
* Europeans may discover this week that the debt crisis is not only threatening the euro zone economy and the integrity of the common currency, but also diminishing Europe's influence in world affairs.
* A credit rating downgrade could hurt Morgan Stanley's huge derivatives business, forcing the group to come up with billions of extra dollars.
* India cannot get enough fuel to run power plants, and the problem has contributed significantly to a second year of slowing economic growth in the country.
* Sales of Windows to consumers declined, but big businesses picked up the slack, Microsoft announced, with its earnings beating estimates by analysts expecting a drop.
* Nokia, struggling to reinvent its smartphone business around Microsoft's Windows Phone software, said Thursday that it might have to cut prices of its cheaper Lumia models to keep its new phones competitive in some markets.
* Federal prosecutors in California are investigating whether a Goldman Sachs executive leaked confidential information about two publicly traded companies to Raj Rajaratnam, the convicted former hedge fund manager.

Today has also seen yet more weak economic data from Spain confirming that her recession may be heading for an economic depression.
Services turnover index
The interannual rate of turnover for the Market services sector stands at -1.9% in February, eight tenths lower than that registered in January
However if we take the trouble to look further down the report
After eliminating the calendar effect, that is, the difference between the number of working days in a given month in different years, the interannual variation of the General Index of Services sector turnover stood at –4.4 in February, more than two points below that registered the previous month.
So the report from thr largest part of the economy is yet again grim if we allow for the extra day. And frankly even if we ignored the extra day's effect output was lower than a year ago. If we look at the underlying index it is at 85.1 compared to a base of 2005=100.
Also if we recall Spain's severe unemployment problem there is little solace and more worries to be found in this.
Employment in the Services sector experienced an interannual decrease of –2.2% in February Industrial Turnover.
Whilst politicians make plans and dither Spain is sinking into the same morass that engulfed Greece

Frontrunning: Federal Reserve ramrodding futures again for a gap open.
<The End>
This just in.. The School bus picked up the kids, The garbage men picked up the garbage, The birds are a chirping and the Futures are up.
I grasp that criticism of capitalism is not well tolerated in these parts. So, let this serve not as criticism but rather as a request for accuracy of understanding. I refer here to a front running Bloomberg piece:
"The U.K.'s "outdated" regulations on pensions are driving Britons away from using them to save for retirement, the Institute of Directors said.
"While annual investment in pensions fell 11 percent to 22.9 billion pounds ($37 billion) between 2007 and 2009, contributions to tax-exempt Individual Savings Accounts had increased to almost 54 billion pounds by April 2011, Malcolm Small, senior adviser at the London-based business lobby, said in a report today.
The report includes a call to increase the state retirement age to 68 by 2032 instead of 2046 and to 70 in 2044...."
I gather the underlying meaning is that in the UK defined benefit pensions are becoming as rare as they are In the US. That is to say in non-euphemistic terms, PENSIONS ARE BEING LOST AND/OR REDUCED.
The language of the article suggests what is happening is a good thing!
If on the one hand it is not cool to criticize capitalism, it should be incumbent upon capitalistic press to refrain from lauding pension cuts as a good thing, on the other.
Just sayin....
Sheesh, bitchez
Are they being "lost" or is there a general realization that the promises made can't be kept?
Like when Enron collapsed. People claimed that they "lost" money on their shares. But the books were a farse. So their shares should never have gone up the way they did. Is it a loss when you never realize the gain?
The good part is the are enough Britons who are realizing that the promises made to them are bunk and are taking steps to not relying on them for their retirement.
Under "capitalism", a pension would EITHER be the returns on an investment ("I want back what I put in...plus interest!") OR a defined benefit under an actuarily assessed insurance policy (where the premiums would reflect age on entry, general health, lifestyle choices and expected duration of premium payments).
Under the present socialist system, there is just a giant slush fund upon which the central planners de jour decide on a whim how much must currently be paid in by those [few] contributing and how much will, or won't, be paid out to those [many] collecting. Soon, there will be nothing left to pay out....
* President Obama's efforts to project himself as a protector of the middle class have strengthened him for the general election,..."
Oh, really? Thanks for the laugh, WSJ! I suppose the 46+ million citizens on SNAP and the millions of people (those who still have a job) who have seen their wages remain stagnant (when adjusted for inflation) think Obumble is a real champion and protector...
Who are these "middle class" persons anyway? I've never met anyone that didn't consider themselves "middle class" as they were growing up.
This ranges from people who grew up in million dollar homes in gated communities to people who grew up in rental properties. The myth of the American middle class is just that - a myth. You're either rich, or you're not. Everyone else is different flavors of "not rich."
And with the generationally stagnant wages, unemployment, etc., we're headed for a Brazil style slum class lorded over by an ultra wealthy celebrity class before you know it. We're about 30% of the way there now.
"we're headed for a Brazil style slum class lorded over by an ultra wealthy celebrity class before you know it."
It sure seems to be heading that way.
Hedge-Fund Assets Rise to Record Level
Here's one NYC hedge fund whose assets will soon be falling....to zero......Bernie Madoff style:
Just curious as to why every 'leader' in the phree world is so keen to toss $400 billion in Taxpayer pledges into the IMF's begging hat?
I mean, there's got to be a really good rationale for tossing in, or tossing away, 60% of TARP like this, once more ... right?
I wonder if any of our globalist collective's fearless spend-a-holic Leadsters knows what that might be?
But I note that they all look pretty happy and keen to be doing it, on our behalf ... and good on them!
I'm sure they know what they're doing
The one clear outcome of the pensions issue appears to be this:
Capitalism cannot pay defined benefit pensions to retiring workers.
Based upon that rather clear outcome, it is proper to assert we need a better economic premise if pensions are to be reclaimed as a social norm. IMHO, capitalism has proven itself inadequate to provide pensions. And, I am unwilling to look the other way and say "oh well" about that; much less blame people for wanting too much.
It is this latter factor of blaming people for wanting pensions that best illustrates capitalism's wanton hubris when acknowledgment of capitalism's systemic inadequacy in connection with pensions is, in fact, the correct answer.
That capitalism cannot provide adequate pensions is a fault of capitalism, worthy of ditching that system, replacing it with one that can provide secure, livable, retirement income, i.e., a defined benefit pension.
That capitalism cannot do that does not mean the idea of wanting pensions must be forgotten or consigned to the memory hole.
So Because the pension system is a failure, we shouldnt give up on it because people still want them. And so instead of allowing people the freedom to deploy their capital (sometimes called property) the way they see fit, we should continue making promises that can't be met simply because of the "worthy" cause of guaranteeing something to someone.
To claim capitalism caused pensions to fail is to say given the choice, people didn't direct their money into them. In the end, people decided they werent worthy of their capital.
Of course, if it's not capitalism's fault, you only have left to blame the people who established them, the people who managed them, and the people who believed the pack of lies sold to them. You're right, I'd continue to blame capitalism, because the alternate explanation is so damning
The bottom line:
Capitalism cannot provide defined benefit pensions.
The conclusion to be drawn from the bottom line:
Dump capitalism
I'm sorry Mr Johnson, we had to use your retirement and SS to bail out a failed bank.
What? ... "did it help"? ... well, no, as I already said, these banks had already failed Mr Johnson.
No Sir, I'm sorry if you've misunderstood the situation, there are no refunds for YOUR losses, Mr Johnson.
As you can see, it's a very complex situation for most people to grasp.
What do you mean you're not happy with the arrangements, Mr Johnson?
We let you live, didn't we? So count your many blessings little man.
And also I don't appreciate your tone of voice Mr Johnson ... so don't push your luck.

However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including weak operating cash flow and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself.

I wasted almost two days online trying to find a solution and use Remote to manage my iTunes Library with my apple devices, but nothing...
I am using iTunes 126.96.36.199 on a Win7 laptop, an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS firmware and a new iPad with the latest iOS firmware version.
The three devices are obviously connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
There are no firewalls in place.
No proxy used.
Obviously the Home Sharing has been enabled on iTunes.
All devices are using the same Apple ID via Remote or Home Sharing.
Result: I can eventually see the iTunes library on my iPhone or iPad, but when I try to access it, I got the following:
- The Music app on the iPad crashes after a couple of minutes while trying to access the library
- On the iPhone after a couple of minutes I get a message "Cannot Connect to Media Library" or smtgh like that.
Same thing if I try to access the Library from within the Remote app, the library is there, but it won't connect.
I am using a BT hub 3 router in case the cause might be on the router side.

A lifelong general: HBS' Boyd credits players for successPublished 12:44pm Wednesday, February 6, 2013
By Ed Bailey
The love that Horseshoe Bend School has for Mike Boyd isn't hard to see. Take a walk into his office and you'd find a bulletin board plastered with well-wishes from his players.
But what many people don't know, is the amount of appreciation he has for the athletes he has coached, past and present.
As a coach, Boyd has spent nearly four decades roaming the sidelines. A New Site native through and through, he has been the one constant in Horseshoe Bend athletics during the school's 20-year existence.
Boyd said he knew from a very young age that sports would become a big part of his life.
"I can remember back in the second grade when I walked out to the playground during recess," Boyd said. "We were playing baseball. My second grade teacher Ms. Lattimer threw me that ball and I hit it. I was sold on athletics from then on. I just loved to play ball."
Boyd would go on to pick up any sport he could find. He said he found favor with basketball, thanks to his high school coach.
He ended up playing the sport from the seventh grade until his graduation.
From there, he played in junior college and following his time at Auburn University, he entered the coaching ranks, landing his first job in Douglas Ga. coaching basketball and football.
Boyd eventually returned to his roots to coach at the now-defunct New Site School before it was consolidated with HBS.
Boyd said the locals helped smooth the transition.
"It's made it easier for me because most of the time, I knew the kids' parents," he said.
Moreover, Boyd said that the athletes he's been able to coach have impacted him immeasurably.
"These kids are special because they play so hard," he said. "We may not have won the lion's share of our games in the past but there are very few times that I've had to get on them because they didn't practice or play hard."
Boyd-coached teams have done their share of winning, though.
In his 38-year coaching career, Boyd has amassed 671 victories. Under his guidance, his teams have collected numerous area and regional championships as well as several tournament berths.
This success and Boyd's presence in the community led to Horseshoe Bend renaming the Generals' home court the Thomas Michael Boyd gymnasium.
Boyd said he was humbled by the honor, but added that the gesture would be hollow if not for his players.
"I like to win and I like to work at winning but one of the most special things about coaching here is being out and about and seeing the kids," he said. The naming of the gym wouldn't mean a whole lot if it hadn't been for the kids who played for me. They gave me their best effort and represented this school with a lot of class."

One of the busiest character actors in Hollywood, Robert Clendenin embraced typecasting by carving out a career playing a whole range of socially-awkward and offbeat characters in the likes of "Scrubs" (NBC 2001-2010), "My Name Is Earl" (NBC 2005-09) and "Cougar Town" (ABC 2009- ). Born in Newark, OH in 1964, Clendenin emigrated to Australia with his parents in the early '70s but returned to the States to study engineering at New York's Cornell University.

Henry Louis Gates Arrester Once Tried To Save A Black Guy, Okay???
You know what argument never really works? The old "I am not a racist because I put my lips on a black man during CPR in 1993" one. To be fair, I do sorta feel for the guy who arrested Harvard prof Henry Louis Gates a little because it is possible he is a bit dim and a not very good cop and really uptight and controlling and a little nuts, instead of a racist. Or I did feel that way! Until an anonymous Cambridge cop told the Boston Globe: "The fact that the Police Department dropped the charges [against Gates] makes the police officer look like he is wrong." Oh, wow.

I got my 30-110 along with the 10-30 when I purchased my J3 and shot with it for about 4 months now. I've used it for family portraits and distant sights in Hawaii, musical shows at Disneyland, and theatrical-style shows at an indoor sports stadium. It is, IMO, a real gem of a lens and - in fact - the main reason I decided to keep my Nikon J3. With my copy, the optics really are outstanding.

Review: 'The Guilt Trip' Will Make You Want to Drive Far Away From the Theater

There are bad movies. There are BAD movies. And then there's The Guilt Trip, a cinematic abomination that offends by being heinously, obscenely bland. This is the blandest bland movie you'll ever see, a comedy bereft of comedy and a road trip flick in which the most exciting occurrences feature...

We are not so young any longer! by sandas04Watch

A moment of truth.
Perfect moment.
That will happen all of us when we get older and fatter!!
...but still keeping the bad habits of our youth!
(God! I wanted to say "that's what the street photography is about" and realized that somebody has already said it)
Great gallery
they look limber enough for that advanced age
Great shot!
Wonderful picture, though it seems like the lady has taken a fall or something. Poor her.
Thanks - no, she didn´t fall at all. It was just too diffiult to bend! I know exactly how that feels.
..another telling moment..
That is a great shot buddy, the interaction between the two is just so well captured !
it's so touching
Awesome shot. This is what street photography is all about. Faved!
soo touchy <3
Thanks - I am not so agile myself so I felt deeply for the incident.
That is an awesome shot.
Gone are the days when we could do that so easily. neat photo

100 youthPublished 1:09pm Wednesday, February 6, 2013
Many times now we hear that the future does not look good. Young people are only interested in their own desires and have no need for God, much less a relationship with Him. While I did not buy into this belief before, I can state forthright that it is not the case for all young people.
During the past weekend, I was given the opportunity to be a part of Discovery Weekend at Hartselle First United Methodist Church. I purposely used the word opportunity because it was definitely well worth my time to be there. There were over 125 junior and senior high students who spent their weekend with their friends and adult volunteers worshipping and getting closer to God. Now to be fair, many churches in our area were having youth weekends and just from seeing postings on Facebook they were all very well attended. Even though there are so many other activities the young folks could be participating in, they chose God and His church.
The youth shared their faith within small groups, to the entire group, and even to the congregations of each service on Sunday. They laughed, cried, comforted and prayed with each other. They learned about how prayer, baptism and communion are all ways to experience grace. Now even though not all who attended were Methodists, and we may have different ways of experiencing baptism and communion, I think we can all agree on prayer. Regardless of church affiliation, I truly believe all came away with a better understanding of their relationship with God and how important prayer and communion, as well as their baptism are in their lives.
If you have never experienced working with young people in this type of situation, I would recommend that you find a way to do this sometime in the future. Watching them be so willing to share with others about how much they love God and want to live for Him would melt even the hardest of hearts. God has a plan for these young people and most are willing to follow. While some may question how one so young can be so strong in their faith, I would rather be amazed at how strong they are.
"Give me 100 men who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon the earth." —from a letter in the Works of John Wesley. I can't wait to see what this group will accomplish for the kingdom.

Patent #7,213,346 No Sales Tax If Purchased Thru The Web Site Or Ebay
Why would I use these tools versus any of the fixed overlap tools on the market?
These are the only tools that you can adjust the overlap or reveal in real time. If you want the job to look professional you have to align the siding with the bottoms of the windows and hopefully the tops. Even with the variety of siding board widths out there, using a strict 1 1/4 overlap with Hardi or Certainteed and even the 1" overlap with LP Smartside it is doubtful you will accomplish this . Of course if you have a straightfoward job use the fixed overlap tools. We make some very nice ones that allow you to fudge the plank down as much as 1/8"
Enter the SoloSiders As you can see by the graphic above, we adjust the overlap which also changes the reveal using a full rise cam.Total cam adjustment is 1/4in. using 1/16 increments. The flat is the release position.
Look at the above photo and you can see how these different ranges are engaged. Grasp the small knob and give it a push and twist and it will separate. Move to the range you are using and reengage making sure to keep the SoloSider name upright. You do not separate the knob to release the tool from the siding. In certain cases where you are blocked by a soffit you can use this method.
Hook the SoloSiders onto the first coarse of siding that you have installed making sure that it is level. If hanging a 12' board keep them in about 3' from each end. Place a board on the tools. At this time you know what reveal or overlap you are using and have set the tools accordingly.
Place a nail thru the board into the closest stud to the tool down about 1/2in. from the top and leave it proud about 1/8". Do this for both tools. Now turn the cam to the release position going counter clockwise and putting the arrow in the 12 oclock position. Push the tool up pull the siding out enough to get the tool out. Reset the tools and hang them on this board before nailing it off to code.
When hanging 16' LP Smartside 3/8 or 7/16 Place the tools about a foot in from each end and use the same nailing procedure as above and then go to the center of the board and lift the sag out and nail. (use a face gauge or a tape)
We have spared no expense on the quality of these tools and the bean counter was silenced. If something breaks (doubtful) send it back and it will be replaced, no conditions.
A good example of using a adjustable siding tool to install siding is when you have a porch ceiling that is out of whack, say by 3/8 in.per 12'. Place one SoloSider on the lower course of siding (which is parallel to the deck) set at 1 1/4 overlap . Set the other at 1 5/16. By the time you do the sixth course the 3/8in. mistake disappears. Make sure the 1 5/16 adjustment is on the short side of the porch.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Georgia Tech scored two runs in the top of the ninth on three consecutive North Carolina State errors to beat the Wolfpack 10-9 in today's opening game of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
The Yellow Jackets' rally produced the fourth lead change of the game and handed the Wolfpack their first three-game losing streak of the season. The two teams combined for 19 runs, 28 hits and eight errors.
Brad Rulon pitched a hitless ninth for his fifth save of the season. Andrew Robinson (3-2) got the victory. Eryk McConnell (4-2), the fifth N.C. State pitcher, got the loss.
Under the two-bracket, round-robin format, the fourth-seeded Yellow Jackets (39-17) will face top-seeded Miami tomorrow; and the No. 5 Wolfpack (37-19) will play No. 8 Clemson.

Antique Mechanical Horse Race Bank 1871 Cast Iron RARE
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Entertainment
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Aug 25, 2007
- Channel: Auction House
Antique Mechanical Cast Iron Horse Race Bank 1871 For auction today from a wonderful estate collection in Upstate New York is this lovely John Hall Mechanical Horse Race Bank. This bank appears to have been well cared for by the family. It comes from the estate of a lifelong mechanical and still bank collector. The original cast iron bank has been left unrestored and appears to be complete except for the missing coin cover on the base. The date stamp on the top reads "Patented August 15, 1871". The original paint is largely intact, though the horse race name is missing. The original tin horses are quite nice though one is missing nearly half of its paint. All mechanical parts are accounted for, including the original pull string and ball. Several screws have been replaced as seen in the photos, and the top needs to be screwed down tighter for the bank to function normally (I have not done this as I did not want to risk damaging the bank). One of the gates has a crack in the iron as seen in the photo. Overall, this bank is in great vintage condition and is in need of very little repair. Included in the auction is a copy of the original patent application with schematics. This lovely antique mechanical bank is certainly the holy grail of mechanical banks, is impossible to find, and would make an excellent addition to any collection. A pristine example of this bank recently sold at auction for over $110,000. This bank was designed and patented by John Hall of Watertown, MA in 1871. The bank is being sold As Is as part of an estate sale. I will try my best to answer all questions. It is offered with a low starting bid and no reserve.

NEW YORK ( Stockpickr) -- By the spring of 2012, investors had simply given up on natural gas stocks. After all, the energy source had crashed in value to just $2 per thousand cubic feet, a price at which almost every producer would lose money. It was pretty clear that the industry damage would deepen and that major players might eventually run out of cash, but then a funny thing happened. Gas prices began to rebound, and they kept on going, managing to double in value in just 12 months.To be sure, it's unwise to assume that all of the recent price gains for natural gas will hold. At a current price of $4.25 per thousand cubic feet, you should assume a modest pullback, perhaps to the $4 range as the springtime weather reduces demand for gas.

HP reports solid earnings
Hewlett-Packard's fourth-quarter earnings surpassed analyst expectations, and the company gave a comparatively positive outlook for 2009 during an earnings call yesterday. HP reported $33.6 billion in sales revenue, a 19% increase over the same period last year.
For the full 2009 fiscal year, HP expects revenue of $127.5 billion to $130 billion. That's less than the $136 billion analysts were looking for, but still higher than tech industry competitors, which are already posting losses or expecting to remain flat in the coming year. HP's stocks rose 14% after numbers were released.
Economy to slam networking markets
The economic crisis will hit the enterprise networking and telecom markets harder than anything in the last two decades -- including the tech bubble burst of 2001 -- according to a new study by CIMI Corp. SearchTelecom.com reports that, in Surviving a Tech Market Nuclear Winter: A Planner's Handbook to Tech Success in Today's Challenging Financial Times, analyst Tom Nolle says enterprise networking spending will suffer, but telecom service providers won't be hit for another few quarters. Still, Nolle adds this note of encouragement: If companies take action in planning for the meltdown, they could emerge on the other side intact.
Intel, VMware oppose AMD live migration plans
Intel and VMware are speaking out against Advanced Micro Device's plans to allow live virtual machine migration between systems running different types of processors, according to SearchServerVirtualization.com.
Earlier this month, AMD showed a demo of live migration between a system running its Shanghai quad-core Opteron processor and one running an Intel Xeon processor. Neither VMware nor Intel sanctioned the demo, and both companies say they don't support live migration across different types of processors because it could threaten system stability.

Abundant Casting (Ex): Whenever you cast a spell that affects a limited number of targets (but more than one), you may add your mythic tier to the number of targets that you can affect. For example, a 5th level wizard with 1 mythic tier can target up to 6 creatures when casting haste. In addition, you can expend one use of mythic power when casting a spell that affects only one target. That spell instead affects two targets, but the additional target must be a legal target for the purpose of the original spell. If the spell requires a touch attack, you must hold the charge to make a second attack.
Arcane Surge (Su): You can expend one use of mythic power to cast any one arcane spell. This spell must be one that you prepared for the day (even if it has already been cast) or be from your list of spells known (if you cast spells spontaneously). If the spell requires a saving throw, any non-mythic targets making such a saving throw must roll twice and take the worse result. In addition, when using this ability you can roll twice and take the better result on any check made to overcome spell resistance, adding your archmage tier to the result. You can't apply any metamagic feats to this spell.
Mythic Power (Su): Mythic characters can draw upon a wellspring of power to allow them to accomplish amazing deeds and cheat fate. You must choose one ability score as the one most associated with your mythic potential. Once made, this choice can't be changed. You can draw upon your mythic power a number of times per day equal to your mythic tier plus your mythic ability score's bonus. In addition to abilities gained from your mythic path and overall mythic tier, you can expend one daily use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the results. Using this ability is an immediate action that is taken after the original roll is made and the results are revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus gained by using this ability increases by one die size at 4th tier and every 3 tiers thereafter to a maximum bonus of 1d12.
Rally (Su): You can expend one use of mythic power as a swift action to rally your allies. This allows you and each of your allies within 30 feet to call upon your courage once in the next round to reroll any one d20 roll after the roll is made. This ability must be used before the beginning of your next turn or it is wasted. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it is worse.
School Aversion: Select one school of magic, except for divination. Whenever you must make a saving throw against a spell or effect of the selected school, you take a –4 penalty on the saving throw. The effects of such spells (if harmful) last twice as long if you fail your saving throw. In addition, your mythic saves ability does not apply to saving throws made against spells and effects of the selected school. You can't benefit from spells and effects from the selected school.
As he grew older, Boneyard began to find he could assert some limited control over the ghosts though a few still cause trouble. With a good head on his shoulders and a knack for influencing people, he began to take on jobs for people in the Puddles who needed help in exchange for payment or other favors.
Gradually, the half-elf was able to build a good business as a private investigator (detective bard) and now conducts business from a small office below his flat in The Coins. Boneyard still has a soft spot for his former home, but is no friend of Haigen Topkick or Lady Seichya, the nominal political leaders of Puddles. He finds their failure to improve the district since the quake repulsive. Boneyard has a very good relationship with the Green Strumpet and is said to be one of the few with the means of finding her on his terms instead of hers. He and Grandmaster Torch also have a long history of mutual information sharing about the city.
He's known throughout Absalom to be very professional and when orthodox methods such as the Token Guard or Graycloaks fail, his name inevitably comes up as someone to talk to. Boneyard has yet to fail or abandon a job, but is said to be very selective about the work he accepts. There are many rumors about his techniques which have left him on the outs with the law enforcement establishment, but he's never been caught breaking any laws.
Since moving to The Coins, Boneyard particularly enjoys tweaking the "Token Guards". He sees them as nearly useless and any job that offers an opportunity to outwit them or succeed where they have failed is particularly enticing.
The Elves
Boneyard is less clear about his elven ancestry as he is haunted by ghosts from both Kyonin and Sovyrian.
Felaelrel: Elven hunter whose weapons are the composite longbow and boar spear. He is impatient with Boneyard's middling ability with the bow and always threatens to withhold it when Boneyard asks for it.
Calondrel: A cocky elven bravo from Sovyrian whose weapon is a rapier. He's far better than Boneyard with the rapier and lets him know it, but Boneyard has always taken to Calondrel's rapier lessons more than any other weapon and the unusual Castrovel fighting style has proven unorthodox and effective in Absalom.
Cathlessra: A fallen elven wizard who bound devils and haunts Boneyard Pyke when he breaks his word. She bears a wickedly sharp nodachi that she seized from a Tian Min sorceress.
Tessarda: A priestess of Calistria who taught Boneyard much about the finer points of...the carnal arts (and revenge). Of course, her weapon of choice is the whip.
Duardlon: Duardlon served and fell in the First Guard while defending Absalom during one of its many sieges. Duardlon has been a great teacher of the history of Absalom and bears a bardiche.

text: I picked up a Velo Orange Grand Cru seat post, thinking that the extra set back would help me move back my Brooks B17. Just wondering what folks have found with this seat post. I've progressively moved it back, and my impression is that getting the saddle back helps keep my sit bones off the metal frame. Make sense? I had a Ritchie seat post before that had a pretty generous set back, but, of course, the Grand Cru has more.

EatingWell's Pepperoni Pizza
Pizza is usually so high in saturated fat and sodium that it has earned a top spot on the heart-attack-to-go food list. But this whole-wheat pizza, topped with a sauce that provides extra beta carotene and fiber is both healthy and flavorful.

Why not use cooler-weather vegetables like broccoli and arugula as an unconventional pizza topping? The arugula adds a slightly bitter, peppery taste — for a milder flavor, use spinach instead.

Effective January 2017, the grouping of players will change nationwide, with encouraged adoption of best practices in August of 2016. U.S. Soccer has mandated that all United States youth soccer programs go back to calendar birth years to align with international standards and Youth National Team programs.
Using the school calendar for age groups is practiced only in the United States and Canada; as all other FIFA members go by the calendar year.
Previously, age groups were determined based on players born between Aug. 1 and July 31. The change to calendar year age groups will reflect the calendar year, or Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. Players are still allowed to "play up" or play in an older age group.
US Youth Soccer and New York State West Youth Soccer will implement the best practice of calendar year age grouping for player registration beginning with the 2016-2017 soccer year for US Youth Soccer programs and competitions. The new matrix will come into effect beginning August 1, 2016.
Determining Birth Year
US Soccer explains that birth year registration should be calculated based on the year in which the season ENDS. For example, if a season begin in the fall of 2017 and ends in the summer of 2018 (ex: 2017-2018 season), the players would be registered based on their age in the year 2018. Competitions that take place in a single year (ex: fall of 2018 only) should use that year to determine birth year. To simplify determining the age group, just subtract the birth year from the year the season ends.
Year Season Ends - Birth Year = Age Group:
With the exception of the US Youth Soccer Under-19/20s, the age group "label" will be determined by subtracting the year in which the players participating in the competition were born from the year in which competition ends.

in : Problems: Weeds
This grass can make itself at home all around the garden, particularly in beds, borders, the lawn and paving. It has fluffy flowerheads that disperse seed and keep the weed coming.
Annual meadowgrass, Poa annua, can be found growing all year round, carrying out its short, six-week cycle of germinating, flowering and setting seed. This being the case, if it isn't appearing in large clumps, getting in the way of other plants or ruining your display, it might not be worth fighting it.
Use a handfork to remove the grass, digging it out from the root. This is best done before the plant flowers and sets seed. Do not compost flowering plants, or it will spread seeds through the compost.
Annual meadowgrass is quite resistant to weedkillers, but if it's appearing on your patio, driveway or between paving (ie. away from other plants), you could try to control it with a patch weedkiller. Avoid spraying weedkiller on a windy day and near other desirable plants.

Northwest Atlantic fishing countries reject both scientific advice for thorny skates and best practice for preventing finning.
Together, we've hit 400,000! That's 400K pieces of trash removed and reported from volunteer divers like you since 2011. Everything from toilet seats to plastic bags – you can see all the dirty details including a growing tally of trash items, the breakdown trash types and the individual dive survey details on the interactive Dive Against Debris map.
This week, the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) holds its annual meeting in Europe's largest fishing port: Vigo, Spain. We've been working with various colleagues, including Shark Advocates International and Shark Trust to encourage NAFO decisions toward more responsible regional fisheries for sharks and skates.
On 6 September, Helsinki celebrated Project AWARE's Debris Month of Action with a loud and big community event. Dimjami Music Band joined the celebrations to cheer up the divers who came together to conduct a Dive Against Debris survey and remove a staggering amount of marine debris from the Baltic sea.
It's hard to believe that 18 months has passed since historic decisions were made for sharks and rays. Together with you and our partners, we had campaigned for this moment.

Researchers have created a new model that could help determine what area of the world is to blame for each ocean garbage patch of floating debris – a difficult task for a system as complex and massive as the ocean.
Following rigorous examination of the proposal, Chairman Dr Paul Vogel said there remains a high degree of scientific uncertainty about impacts on the viability of the south-western white shark population.
"At this stage, the available information and evidence does not provide the EPA with a high level of confidence. In view of these uncertainties, the EPA has adopted a cautious approach by recommending against the proposal," Dr Vogel said.
Trash is treasure? To one amazing volunteer diver who found cash during her Dive Against Debris with Stuart Cove Dive, Bahamas - that's definitely true. However, marine debris is very rarely such an exciting find. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
Divers like you and I know that the trash from our everyday lives, like plastic bags and food wrappers, as well as larger items like car batteries and enormous fishing nets are choking the ocean and taking a devastating toll on marine life too.
The Scottish Government has announced that it has launched a new strategy to tackle marine litter.
The aim of the strategy, entitled 'Marine Litter Strategy for Scotland', is to develop current and future measures to ensure that the amount of litter entering the marine and coastal environment is minimised to bring ecological, economic and social benefits.
At a cost of £16.8m each year to clean up, the strategy reveals that the majority of the litter found on Scotland's beaches and in the seas around it is plastic.
Southern California residents lose millions of dollars each year avoiding littered, local beaches in favor of choosing cleaner beaches that are farther away and may cost more to reach, according to a new NOAA-funded Marine Debris Program economics study.
Reducing marine debris even by 25 percent at beaches in and near California's Orange County could save residents roughly $32 million during three months in the summer by not having to travel longer distances to other beaches.
