Padmini, sitting with raised hand, is one of them. She is 24 years of age and lives with her husband and one son, age 2 months, and one daughter, age 5 years, who has just started schooling in the village school.
Padmini is running a photo studio in a very small room in her house with the help of her husband. She has a computer system, a digital still photo camera and a normal video camera for her business. Her husband mainly manages the photo studio. In the absence of her husband, Padmini also takes photographs. Apart from in door service, her husband also attends calls and orders at various social festivals, government programmes and other functions as a photographer. She also gives the video camera on hire basis at a cost of 1,000 INR per day.
In normal season (from June to September) Padmini earns 5,000 INR per month, and in festive season (from October to May) she earns 8,000 to 10,000 INR per month.
The locality of Padmini has a great potential for her business but, due to shortage of space, she is not able to expand it as she would like. By using the present loan, Padmini is planning to purchase an advance digital camera for her business. From the extra income, she has a plan to construct a separate photo studio on her plot, which she wants to materialize very soon.
The other four members of her group are Santoshini, Pankajini, Tikini and Surangi, who are doing milk businesses.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
Mahashakti Foundation focuses its work in some of the most underdeveloped districts in Odisha, characterized by poor infrastructure and high levels of poverty. By supporting this loan, you are enabling access to finance for women living in some of India's poorest and most remote areas.
Important note about this loanDue to Indian government regulations, if you fund this loan, you will not be repaid for at least 3 years. This borrower will likely repay your loan much sooner than that, in which case, the Field Partner may re-loan your funds to help other local borrowers. We want you to be aware of this minimum 3-year waiting period and the associated risks before making a loan to Indian borrowers on Kiva. Learn More >
About Mahashakti Foundation
Mahashakti Foundation is a public charitable trust that provides microfinance and development services in the low-income state of Odisha. Operating in the poorest region of India, the organization strives to serve rural communities, tribal groups and others living on less than USD$1 a day. In addition to microcredit, it also provides micro-savings and micro-insurance products, as well as business development, health, water and sanitation, and food security services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Supreme Court reaffirms resale of copyright works
U.S. residents have the right to resell software and other products protected by copyright even when they are manufactured overseas, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled.
U.S. residents have the right to resell software and other products protected by copyright even when they are manufactured overseas, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled.
The former chief scientist at a Kentucky defense contractor has been sentenced to a year in prison for buying pirated software from Russian and Chinese hackers and using it to design components for military helicopters.
The European Court of Human Rights has rejected an appeal from two founders of The Pirate Bay, saying that a Swedish court was right to put copyright law ahead of their right to receive and impart information.
Momentum is growing in the U.S. Congress to overturn a U.S. Library of Congress ruling that took mobile phone unlocking out of the legal exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The shutdown of Megaupload caused an increase in digital sales and rentals of movies, according to a study by two researchers, which is likely to give a boost to the movie industry which has typically blamed online cyberlockers and file-sharing websi...
Megaupload's Kim Dotcom will be allowed to pursue damages against New Zealand's spy agency for illegally spying on him, the country's Court of Appeal ruled Thursday.
The author of a successful White House petition calling on government officials to legalize the unlocking of mobile phones has turned his attention to broader reform of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
The European Commission will ask the German government to explain more about a draft bill that aims to protect publishers against systematic access to copyright content by search engine providers such as Google.
The Pirate Bay claims that North Korea has offered to provide network connectivity for its controversial search engine, which has faced a years-long battle to stay online.
The German Bundestag has adopted a controversial, but weakened, online copyright bill that gives publishers the exclusive right to make commercial use of their publications on the Internet.
A court in the U.K. has ordered key Internet service providers in the country to block three torrent sites on a complaint from music labels including EMI Records and Sony Music.
Megaupload lost a bid on Friday to see a trove of evidence held by U.S. prosecutors prior to extradition proceedings expected to begin later this year in New Zealand.
The Pirate Bay has opened two new gateways to its internal network in order to shield its current Internet provider, the Swedish Pirate Party, which had been threatened with legal action if it did not stop providing Internet access to the torrent sea...
New concerns about whether a controversial German online copyright bill is constitutional are likely to delay voting on the measure that would have allowed publishers to charge search engines such as Google for reproducing short snippets from news ar...

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Ben Lamaak was crying on the sideline after talking to the trainers. Not sure if he just found out the trainers thought it was bad or if he was crying because he could not go back in the game. Hopefully the latter.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
Heal well RH. I'm very concerned on Ben's chances at seeing the field this week.

Intensifying peace strategies in 2013Published 10:27pm Tuesday, January 8, 2013
We will intensify our peace strategies in 2013. This means we will continue to seek the right solution and not group solution A or solution B. It also means that we will still engage in meaningful debates and disagree when necessary, for peace is not actually the absence of disagreement; but the presence of love, harmony and unity in meaningful endeavors.
Peace making does not mean being passive in what you have been called to do. Peace makers are objective and strong people; peace makers understand that not everybody in a group situation thinks alike. When all think alike, then no one is actually thinking or analyzing.
True peacemakers are never intimidated when it comes to doing right, for they realize that any plan strategized to mar them usually translates to goodness; that they're supernaturally empowered to condemn any voice that unfairly rises against them in judgment; and that no force can be against them in veracity, even when it appears so.
Above all, peacemakers know that they are divinely wrapped up by a juggernaut that is superior to anything that the world and its evil schemers possess.
Peace makers also forgive reasonably. When we swallow pride and forgive someone, it dignifies us. It is obvious that in the process of trying to intensify our peace strategies for 2013, some people may call us aligned, nonaligned, unmade up mind, and etc. But the truth of matter, is that we are the strong and correctly aligned because we realize the ramifications of being a peace maker. These ramifications include being called God's children. We do not advocate for the fire to be ceased temporarily and have momentary effects.
Cease fire occurs when people put down weapons and do not battle for a period of time; when people working against you, give you a momentary break; or when your enemies are asleep.
Amazingly, genuine peace exists when wars are settled to the point that both parties become friends and unwilling to seek factional answers but seek the right solutions. A cold war could be very dangerous to a society; that's the rationale for settling wars by addressing the issues that led to war and ensure that peace makers stay away from endeavors of revenge, viciousness, hate and maliciousness.
It is, even, a business verity that investors and industrialists prefer to locate and invest in peaceful places. Similarly, successful people surround themselves with peaceful people.
In actuality, true peace will not thrive in the absence of love; a good reason for us all to strengthen our love for each other in 2013.
Remember, prosperous are those who love without demarcation, for they will harvest from the flourishing gardens of diversity; and blessed also are those who have mastered their relationship with others different from them, for they shall see progress. Happy is that school board that loves not only their fraternity, sorority, clannish, or other affiliation, for they shall see harmony.
Actually, what's needed is not some harmony; but lasting peace which could only come from a "constant factor 'and not 'variable factors.'
This Constant factor has, ad infinitum, given me peace in time of known and unknown wars. My personal Bible calls my constant factor Jesus, the Prince of Peace, whose peace is continuous and incomparable to UNO's and the world's peace treaties.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that some hikers are removing $165 tracking collars from hunters dogs. The hikers think the collars are shock collars aimed at hurting the dogs. North Carolina law say on public lands it is illegal to interfere with hunters killing game legally. It is also illegal to "take or abuse property, equipment or hunting dogs that are being used for the lawful taking of wildlife resources," according to state law. They note that by taking away the collars many of the dogs are lost or stolen.

New Texting & Talking While Driving Law Nowhere Near Tough Enough"/>
Target Practice is our daily aim -- at a hypocritical politician, worthless law or random nincompoop -- at something or someone that deserves a bit of buckshot in the backside.
This moron should have to blow into a Textalyzer.
On June 10, talking or texting on one's cell phone becomes a primary offense in the state of Washington, punishable with a $124 fine.
Drivers can, however, conduct conversations by way of hands-free devices, a loophole that has commentators on the P-I's site claiming that the law discriminates against hearing-impaired drivers, for whom hands-free devices are essentially useless.
You know what else is useless? The stiffened-up law.If people want to enjoy the freedom of having distracting conversations -- hands-free or otherwise -- while operating a motor vehicle, often in excess of 60 miles per hour, then it's only fair that drunk driving and open container laws be repealed. I'd seriously rather see Kitty Dukakis with a bottle of rubbing alcohol glued to her lips at the wheel than some commercial real estate agent in a Mini Cooper, tapping away on his Crackberry.
But really, I'd rather not drive next to, or behind, either species of dodgy motorist, which is why the Cell/Text Act of 2010 should be amended to align penalties with those afforded drunk drivers. Instead of a Breathalyzer, cell addicts should have to blow into a Textalyzer and be challenged by the arresting officer to interpret the acronym "LMFAO." If the offending driver/texter answers correctly, the handcuffs go on, and if the officer's in a particularly surly mood, he can tack on some sort of penalty for uttering the word "fucking" to a cop.
As with drunk driving, a suspended license should certainly be at a judge's disposal when dealing with serial cellphone addicts. Repeat offenders should be required to use only rotary phones for a year, and mega-scofflaws should be forced to communicate exclusively via smoke signal, shouting, and strip-o-gram--or use the vintage '80s cell that Michael Douglas uses in Wall Street, the one that's the size of a croquet mallet, has a rabbit-ear antenna, and causes brain cancer.
I never thought I'd be nostalgic for the early aught-naughts, when Seattle's go-go tech boom spawned a thousand douchebags in mock turtlenecks, talking loudly, seemingly to themselves, as they pranced down the pavement with quasi-invisible earpieces negating their need to actually hold the phone. Now I just want to hug those fuckin' guys.

This white handle can be used with both the freezer door and the fresh food door of many refrigerators. Note: As per manufacture this handle includes the mounting block and screw for the top of the handle, If you need the screw for the bottom it must be ordered separately.
This part works with the following brands: Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan & White-Westinghouse.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
First I removed the top screws, then I slide it off the lower screw that is hidden behind the handle. I replaced the handle by sliding it onto the bottem first then attaching it onto the top with the two top screws.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
replaced the cheap, broken handle with a new, un-broken, cheap plastic handle using a philips screwdriver. anyone could make this repair...i did!:) under $30.00, i'm happy.
This repair was very easy and took less than five minutes. I used the same screws that were on the fridge to put the handle in place. All I needed was a screwdriver. I would also like to add that when I ordered this part it was shipped the same exact day and I received it the next day. It was incredibly fast and I will use them again in the future. I recommend this company to those who need to replace or repair a part. Thanks PartSelect!
Unscrewed the old screws and removed broken piece of handle. Put new screws in for handle to latch in. Swung handle in place and put the 2 special screws in top of handle. Job done. With the correct parts from Parts Select The replacement was a breeze. Thanks for your speedy delivery and support. I will definitely continue to get all my various appliance parts from youRespectfullyRoy
The repairs were easy. The braces and end caps went together fairly easy. The freezer brace needed to be cut to fit but was easily done. 15-30 minutes was all that was needed.

New London - The city's police chief said Monday she will have to lay off 15 police officers if a $924,000 budget cut stands, leaving the day shift with only two patrol officers on duty.
"These cuts are going to change how we police the city,'' Chief Margaret Ackley told the Board of Finance, a five-member panel that reviews the city's annual spending plan before the City Council's final approval.
In the 81-officer department, the cuts would mean eliminating five patrol officers from each of the three shifts, Ackley said.
The layoffs would come from the 45 officers who patrol the city's streets. That would mean only two patrol officers instead of the current seven would be on duty during the day shift. The 15-officer afternoon shift would be reduced to 10 and the midnight shift would go from 13 to eight, she said.
The department would still have 18 supervisors, six detectives, five members of the vice unit and six speciality officers who cover the schools, traffic and crime prevention, she said. There are fewer patrol officers on duty during the day, she said, because other officers, such as supervisors and detectives, are available to answer calls
"I don't think that's the services we want to provide,'' she said.
Since becoming chief in 2009, Ackley said she has underspent her budget, saving the city about $4 million over the past four years.
"I recognized how important all this is,'' she said of the city's finances. "But I've pinched every penny. ... If we didn't need it, we didn't spend it."
Finance Director Jeffrey Smith confirmed that the police department has returned about $4 million to the city. The money has been used to offset overexpenditures in other departments, he said.
The Finance Board, while sympathetic, said it has no authority to increase the police budget.
The members, who are appointed by the City Council based on recommendations from the mayor, can only add or subtract from the bottom line of the council's proposed budget.
Members Lonnie Braxton, Robert Funk and Chairwoman Sharon T. Griffis voted in favor of the budget and forwarding it to the council. Member Jerome Fischer was unable to attend the meeting and Jeffrey MacDowell has resigned, Griffis said.
"It's great pain,'' Braxton said before voting. "But there's nothing we can do."
Funk said he was uncomfortable approving the budget but did not feel the finance board was involved enough with the process to make any changes.
"I have severe concerns about whether the budget can cover our needs. I see deficiencies in the police department and the public works department,'' he said.
After the vote, the finance board decided to take a more active role in the city's finances and set up a schedule of monthly meetings with the finance director.
"The Board of Finance needs to be more involved,'' Funk said.
The City Council, which is required by the charter to approve the annual budget three times, has already had its first reading of the proposed $82 million budget. A meeting is scheduled for Monday when it will vote on the budget again.
An approved budget must be returned to mayor for his signature by May 31.
On April 30, the council approved the $82 million budget for 2013-14, which represents $41.6 million for general government spending and $40.4 for education. It is nearly $900,000 more than the spending plan proposed by Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio.
It represents a 3.38 percent tax increase and includes an increase in the tax rate from 26.6 mills to 27.5 mills.

Scare Tactics Mark Final Election Days
Byline: Adrienne T. Washington, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
In these last desperate days of the 2008 presidential campaign, we must suffer visions of divas, plumbers, skinheads and Karl Marx dancing before our disbelieving eyes.
Karl Marx? Has it come to that arcane scare tactic?
We've been promised that this election would be different: It would be about character, experience, qualifications and maybe even issues, such as our tanking economy.
But in this final week, the telebabble is going to be about stupid stuff, speculative stuff and scary stuff.
How about those reputed neo-Nazi skinheads - Daniel Cowart, 20 of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesseman, 18, of West Helena, Ark., - who federal authorities accused of plotting to assassinate Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama as part of a killing spree to kill 88 blacks and behead 14 others?
No wonder those Secret Service agents around Mr. Obama, the target of another assassination plot, always look so sweaty. To his credit, Mr. Obama dismissed the nascent plan by saying, This is not American, this is not our future.
We can only pray he's right.
And how about that $150,000 wardrobe the Republican National Committee bought for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the running mate of presidential nominee Sen. John McCain. Sexist? No. Think Democrat John Edwards' $400 haircut.
But do you care more about Mrs. Palin's Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue duds, or about her troubling ethics in her home state? Even more important, what about her readiness, or lack thereof, to be commander in chief if she were pressed into service?
Sure, the fancy ensembles cut into her image as Sarah Barracuda, but I never bought her shout out I'm a redneck woman in the first place.
Is Mrs. Palin a diva, as one cowardly anonymous McCain campaign worker told several media outlets? Not judging by her appearance standing next to potential first lady Cindy McCain, who is often dripping in multiple-carat diamonds and three-strand pearl necklaces.
It's more ridiculous to speculate on whether Mrs. Palin, with such high polling negatives, is trying to stab Mr. McCain in the back to position herself for 2012. She's probably spending all her energy trying to get to Nov. 4 without making another gaffe to be parodied on Saturday Night Live.
Get serious. This silliness comes the same week as the curiously timed U.S. attack on Syria.
Still, the most distracting and divisive stuff comes from those raising the specter of Karl Marx, socialists and the redistribution of wealth, primarily based on a seven-year-old public radio interview Mr. Obama gave while discussing the Supreme Court's role in the civil rights movement.
If - and it's still a big if - Mr. Obama were elected president, he'd hardly be a Marxist. Nothing about the Cool One portends such extremes.
People who are real socialists are giggling in their beer at this whole spectacle, said Richard Wolff, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and co-author of New Departures in Marxian Theory.
Mr. Obama has endorsed precisely none of these major definitions of socialism: not Marx's focus on the social organization of the surpluses in production, not the Soviet or Chinese models of state ownership of most industries, and not the European notion/model of significant state intervention, the professor explained. …

Edith Roxana
Update on Edith RoxanaEdith is 27 years old, married, and has five children. She has an eatery at the edge of the lake where she sells food from fish to grilled meat. She has always done business and also sells bread going out every day with the baked goods in the morning. She buys fish from the local fishermen and the other part of her inventory is bought in a city from the eastern part of the country.
Edith is an existing KIVA client. Today, she requests a new loan to buy 12 wooden tables and 48 wooden chairs that will be used to equip her cafe. Currently, she cannot offer a place for her clients to eat there, but only for takeaway. With the dining area, she will be able to serve food there with the advantage that it's located at the edge of the lake. It provides enough shade for her clients who prefer eating there instead of takeaway. The loan will provide her with a great opportunity since there are people that buy the food to eat there and they have to sit on some nearby rocks due to the lack of tables and chairs.
She would like to build a covered porch to protect herself from the rain and for the added commodity of her clients in the rainy season.
Edith ya es cliente KIVA, hoy en día esta solicitando un nuevo préstamo para comprar 12 mesas y 48 sillas cada una de madera, que será para equipar el comedor, ya que por el momento no tiene para que los clientes coman ahí, sino solo para llevar. De esta manera la señora podrá servir comida en el lugar, teniendo la ventaja de que el comedor esta ubicado a la orilla de la laguna y con gran cantidad de sombra, para los clientes que prefieran comer en su comedor y no llevar la comida. Ella comenta que se le presentara una gran oportunidad con el préstamo ya que hay personas que compran la comida para degustarla ahí mismo y les toca comer en unas rocas que están en el patio del comedor, por falta de mesas y sillas.
A ella le gustaría construir una galera, para protegerse de la lluvia y para mayor comodidad de sus clientes en época lluviosa.
Previous Loan DetailsEdith, 26, lives with her life partner and four children. For the last three years she's been preparing traditional meals like turnovers, tamales and fried manioc, among others. She learned this activity from her spouse's grandmother who taught her. She used to sell cosmetics. To get her ingr... More from Edith Roxana's previous loan »

About CrediCampoThis loan is administered by CrediCampo, a Kiva Field Partner in El Salvador.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Food news from around the land:
Locally, the big news is that Bravo has finally raided the Seattle restaurant scene for contestants for its next season of Top Chef. Nancy Leson reported that Ashley Merriman of Branzino and Robin Leventhal, former owner of the much-missed Crave, were picked to join 15 other cooks in Las Vegas (so sorry, guys) for season six. It looks like this year's cooks are more focused on local and seasonal and less on culinary pyrotechnics. I'm actually considering resubscribing to Comcast.
For all of you who have traveled to Greece and seen nary a gyro like the ones you eat for lunch every week, David Segal at the New York Times writes about the origins and mysterious contents of gyros. A cluster of Greek Americans in Chicago may or may not have invented gyros in the 1960s, and a cluster of factories there still produce most of the nation's processed-meat cones. There are pictures. Which you may not want to look at.
In the LA Times food section today, Andrea Nguyen describes a dozen or so Vietnamese herbs and their many uses. Once only seen in backyard gardens, many leser-known herbs are making their way into Asian markets now, and so Vietnamese American cooks can either recreate dishes from the Old Country or find new uses for them. (Thankfully, the newspaper has created a photo gallery.) I've spotted most of the herbs at 99 Ranch, H Mart, and especially the Viet Wah markets in the ID and Rainier Valley.
This one's a couple weeks old but still fascinating: At the Riverfront Times, Aimee Levitt profiles Allison Burgess, a Missouri woman who has invented a meat substitute. Apparently, it's not as simple as forming blocks of tofu into the shape of T-bones. Faux meat is hardly new; the author's novel twist is to pit fake-meat fans against no-processed-food advocates.

Spring: The best time to treat weeds is when they are small and growing. Fall: Many problem weeds germinate in the fall, and treatment then will eliminate many of next year's weeds. Spot treatment: To spray small areas or individual weeds, use a pressure sprayer for better control. Do not use a hose-end sprayer. Mix 1 fl oz (2 tbsp) in one gallon of water. Shake well before spraying. Be certain to wet each weed. Entire lawn: Pressure sprayers: Measure amount of concentrate from chart below into sprayer tank and dilute with 1 gallon of water. Close tank sprayer and shake well before spraying. Use a spray patter that gives small spray droplets without any fine mist to treat 250 sq ft. Grass type: St. Augustinegrass, Bahia, centipede - Amount of concentrate: 1/2 fl oz (1 tbsp). Grass type: Bermuda, bentgrass - Amount of concentrate: 2/3 fl oz (4 tsp). Grass type: Bluegrass, fescue, rye, zoysia - Amount of concentrate: 1 fl oz (2 tbsp). Hose-end sprayers: Concentrate only (dial) sprayers. Determine amount of concentrate to be applied for each 250 sq ft of lawn. Fill sprayer jar with enough concentrate to cover area to be treated. Do not add water to sprayer. Set dial on sprayer to the correct setting. Attach sprayer to hose. Extend hose to the farthest area of lawn to be treated and work back toward faucet so that you do not walk over treated areas. Apply evenly to lawn. Example: To treat 1,000 sq ft of fescue lawn, add 4 fl oz of concentrate to the sprayer with sprayer dial set on 1 fl oz. Check the directions you received when you purchased your sprayer for further details on the proper use of your dial sprayer. Concentrate-plus-water sprayers: For sprayers that require the addition of water as well as concentrate prior to application. Determine amount of concentrate required to treat each 250 sq ft of lawn. Pour concentrate into sprayer jar to the required fl oz level. Then add the appropriate amount of water to the gals. level. Replace sprayer top on jar and shake well before spraying. Attach sprayer to hose. Extend hose to the farthest area of lawn to be treated and work back toward faucet so that you do not walk over treated areas. Apply evenly to lawn. Example: To treat 1,000 sq ft of fescue, pour in concentrate to the 4 fl oz mark and add water to the 4 gallon mark. Check directions you received when you purchased your sprayer for further details on the proper use of your sprayer. For best results, mow lawn before treating weeds. Do not treat when air temperatures exceed 85°F or damage to grass may occur. Do not water within six hours of treatment. Poor weed control may result if rainfall occurs within six hours of application. For new lawns, treat within 24 hours after seeding. On established lawns, wait three weeks after treatment before re-seeding. Once new grass has started to grow, wait until it has reached a height of 2 inches before treating. Do not allow spray to get on vegetables or ornamental plants since injury may result. Do not spray around roots of trees and ornamentals. Clover will be damaged if sprayed. Whether using a hose-end sprayer or pressure sprayer, avoid sprays that are too fine because they can drift and damage other plants. If certain tough weeds are not dead within three weeks, repeat treatment. Broadcast application is not necessary; follow spot treatment directions. Storage and disposal: Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from heat or open flame. Disposal: If empty: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. If partly filled: Call your local solid waste agency for disposal instructions. Never place unused product down any indoor or outdoor drain.

"Short distance - Big history" Clwyd by Elena77
Clwyd Travel Guide: 224 reviews and 706 photos
The borderlands of North/ East Wales have always been a frontier zone. Lying between the Cheshire Plain to the East and Snowdonia to the West, between lowlands and high mountains, they are cut through by natural barriers - like the Clwydian Hills and the rivers Dee, Clwyd and Conwy - which any army marching from England to the Welsh heartlands must cross. Throughout many centuries, therefore, the borderlands have been successively fought over by Britons and Romans, by rival native rulers of Gwynedd and Powys, by Anglo-Saxons and Welshmen, by the forces of Norman barons, Welsh princes and English monarchs, and later by the Civil War armies of King and Parliament. Thus for more than 2000 years the Welsh borderlands were a region of fortresses and castles, often sited to reinforce existing natural strongpoints. The ramparts of ancient hillforts were sometimes re-used by subsequent fortress builders, including the Anglo - Saxon kings of Mercia who during the 700s raised great frontier dykes as defences against the Welsh. Offa's Dyke, which extended from Llanfynydd North of Wrexham to Chepstow on the Bristol Channel, can still be traced in the Clwyd region, most dramatically around Chirk Castle and near Bersham. So too can the region's own Wat's Dyke, less well-known but equally well worth exploring. Nearly all its 38 mile course from Holywell on the coast to South of Oswestry lies within the borderlands, with particularly fine stretches between Wrexham and Ruabon, around Erddig.
The Horseshoe Pass (Bwlch yr Oernant) is a mountain pass leading you on steep wooded slopes from Llandegla to Llangollen (or vice versa :)). The road travels in a horseshoe shape around the sides of a valley giving the pass its name; this route dates from 1811 when a turnpike road was constructed across the area. The road is frequently closed in Winter due to heavy snowfall or landslides.
Wild Wales begins in the Berwyn Mountains. The highest peaks of this mountain range are: Moel Sych, Foel Wen, Bryn Du and Moel Fferna. The Berwyn Mountains also played their part in causing King Henry II to turn back during his invasion of Gwynedd in 1165. Rather than taking the usual route along the Northern coastal plain, his army invaded from Oswestry and took a route over the Berwyns. The invasion faced an alliance of Welsh princes, but there was no fighting - endless days of heavy rain forced the army to retreat.
Clwyd was the 1st piece of Wales that we got to see and it greeted us with some really bad weather, it was rainy, foggy, windy and cold. All of this did not keep us from exploring the area, of course. We climbed up the steep path to Dinas Brân Castle even before we brought our suitcases to the B&B. :) We also visited Llangollen and Valle Crucis Abbey that day. And the moodiness of Welsh weather proved already the next morning: when we awoke we found a bright, sunny day and a cloudless sky! We left the B&B early to set out for the Isle of Anglesey. And on our way there we've explored the beautiful Clwyd towns of Ruthin (& castle), Denbigh (& castle), Rhuddlan (& castle) and Rhyl.
- Pros:Beautiful landscape, great castles, lovely people, ...
- Cons:Moody weather
- In a nutshell:Exercise your minds as well as your legs! ;)

Posted by Lucy on Sunday, April 13, 2008 at 9:53pm.
By inverting the fractions (a perfectly legal operation), the first equation can be converted to
(sin x + cos x)/sin x = (1 + tan x)/x
1 + cot x = 1 + 1/tan x
= 1 + cot x
In the second problem, substitute 1 - cos^2 x for sin^2 x on the left side.
Thanks for your help!
I understand the second problem now.
Except I'm confused about what you did in the first problem. We haven't learned anything about cotx yet...
I inverted the fractions, though and ended up with:
(sin x + cos x) / sin x = (1 + tan x) / tanx
(I'm just wondering...why did you write (1 + tan x) / x on the left side?)
Then simplifies to... cos x = 1 ??
I'm confused... :S
*Sorry, should be:
I'm just wondering...why did you write (1 + tan x) / x on the *right* side?
Instead of (1 + tan x) / tan x?

Testing by Paul Aldridge, sales manager, Paragon Print Systems
A common printer in field service applications, the rugged 4-inch mobile label printer was a class of printers we were eager to test for VAR and ISV (independent software vendors) readers. For this review, we partnered with VAR Paragon Print Systems to leverage the company's years of bar-coding expertise and facilities. To determine which printers to test, we relied on the results from January's Best Channel Vendor survey. Using that survey data, which came from thousands of VARs and ISVs, we were able to narrow the field down to those printer manufacturers readers told us had the most reliable, feature-rich products. Using that data, we had a field of 11 potential manufacturers.
To determine our testing methodology, we had conversations with a handful of VARs, leaned on ScanSource's resident bar-coding gurus, and sought advice from most of the 11 companies that could be included in the survey.
As our testing methodology became finalized, we then asked the manufacturers if they'd like to submit a product to be reviewed. If you read an early blog by me on this topic, you know that I was very disappointed in a handful of the companies we reached out to. Here's how things washed out: Some companies just didn't have a 4-inch rugged mobile label printer (understandable). Others had products but openly told me that they didn't think they'd fare well in the review, or certain aspects of the review, because their products were outdated. So, if you're wondering why your manufacturer of choice isn't included in the review, rest assured it's not that we didn't ask. In the end, Datamax-O'Neil, Toshiba TEC, and Zebra submitted products for review.
On the surface, it seems as if a review of 4-inch label printers could be boring or lack any insight. After all, how much innovation and differentiation can be packed within such a small form factor? Well, quite a bit actually. Take a look at the included spec sheet comparision for a quick overview of the three printers, and then read on for a more detailed analysis.
Setup And Configuration
The first thing we wanted to test was ease of setup. Specifically, we wanted to test the out-of-box-experience for someone unfamiliar with the units. Were there utilities available to set up and configure the printers for use? How easy were those utilities? Paul Aldridge, sales manager for Paragon Print Systems, found that each of the three printers tested had its own pros and cons.
All three units shipped with a Windows print driver and users' guide on CD, as well as a printed quick-start guide for basic operation, and all three arrived with their own PC-based setup utilities. Both the Zebra QLn420 and Toshiba B-EP4DL-GH40-QM-R printers require a USB cable for setup that, while not included, was easy to dig up since it's a cable commonly used for many consumer electronics. The Datamax-O'Neil RL4 printer was the only unit tested that required a serial cable to configure. Aldridge is quick to caution VARs and ISVs that most of today's PCs don't have a serial port, so you may need to take that into consideration.
Despite the old-school serial cable, Aldridge found the Datamax-O'Neil printer to be the most user friendly when setting up the wireless connection. The Zebra printer was close behind, and he found the Toshiba TEC printer the most difficult to configure for the wireless network.
"As a 'normal' user, I don't think any of the units were particularly easy to set up for Wi-Fi," says Aldridge. "When it comes to getting these printers on a wireless network, I'd recommend someone with wireless networking expertise over printing expertise."
Paper Loading
Another area we were eager to test was the loading of paper into the printers. For instance, how cumbersome is the experience? Is it intuitive and easy to access the media door? Aldridge found both the Datamax-O'Neil and Zebra units easy to load.
"The yellow release lever on the side of Zebra unit is easy to spot," he reports. "There are two silk-screen imprints on the printer case that highlight the proper roll direction and loading instructions." He goes on to explain that the guides are spring-loaded and hold in place automatically. Loading a roll of labels could be completed in as little as 10 seconds. He also says that the Zebra unit's media access door opens at the widest angle of the three, making it more accessible when loading media, especially when gloves are being worn.
As with the Zebra unit, Aldridge found the Datamax-O'Neil orange release lever easy to spot on the side of the unit; however, there were no imprinted instructions on the case. The guides are spring-loaded similar to the Zebra, and, as with the Zebra, loading a roll can be completed in as little as 10 seconds. That said, the Datamax-O'Neil door does not "spring open" like the Zebra and Toshiba, which makes the media door slightly more difficult to open. This could be a consideration if gloves are being worn.
Finally, he described loading paper in the Toshiba TEC printer as cumbersome. "The media door-release lever is the same color as the printer case, and it is the only printer with a release door on the front of the unit," says Aldridge. The VAR's fear was that, while difficult, the lever could be depressed accidentally by pressing the printer against an obstruction. Once open, there is a small green lever that needs to be locked in place to hold the media roll. "The lever is flimsy and does not feel like it would be durable over the long term," warns Aldridge. Toshiba TEC reports that the lever was intentionally built with flexibility in mind and the company has seen a low replacement rate. Due to this lever-locking system, loading a roll of labels can be completed in as little as 15 seconds.
Battery Life
Every manufacturer boasts about battery life and having the juice to perform over a full shift. For this test, we wanted to do something a little different by testing the number of labels that could be printed on a single battery charge. To even the playing field as much as possible, Aldridge ensured that all three printers were using new fully charged batteries and were configured the same way (i.e. Wi-Fi was enabled). The test was performed in batch mode, printing labels continuously over the wireless connection until the battery expired. The labels-printed numbers speak for themselves, but the testing also revealed some nuances in the ways these printers operate.
The Zebra printed 1,100 4" x 6" labels (Walmart SCC-14) before the battery expired — the most labels of all three printers. The selected print speed was 3 ips and darkness was set to default. Aldridge reports that the printer pauses periodically when printing in batches to cool the print head. In fact, the VAR says that the Zebra unit paused more frequently than the other two units in batch printing mode. That said, remember that this isn't typical operation for this type of printer, so the pausing could be a nonissue.
Just behind the Zebra, the Toshiba TEC printed 1,076 4" x 6" labels before the battery expired. The selected print speed was 4 ips, which is not user-changeable. Per Toshiba, the unit automatically varies speed depending on the print head temperature, environment temperature, battery voltage, printing ratio, and firmware setting. This proved to be true during testing, as it was the slowest printer overall. Again, consider that we weren't testing overall speed of a batch print job, and that might not be important to you or your clients.
Finally, the Datamax-O'Neil unit printed 941 4" x 6" labels before the battery expired. As with the Zebra unit, the selected print speed was 3 ips and darkness was set to default. Aldridge found that the Datamax-O'Neil printer slows when printing in batches to cool the print head and extend battery life.
LCD Display
Another area we wanted to review was the LCD display. Aldridge says that all three units have an LCD display that indicates common printer conditions such as battery life, wireless connectivity, and sleep mode. That said, Aldridge had his favorites. "The Zebra unit has a large LCD display and was the easiest to use and navigate of the three," he says. "The display gives quick visual indication of the printer's status in a number of key areas."
The Datamax-O'Neil printer also has a large LCD display and was the only printer with battery life depicted as a percentage value on LCD display. In contrast, the Toshiba unit displayed battery life using a four-bar scale. Additionally, the Datamax-O'Neil unit displayed a warning on the LCD when the battery was close to needing to be charged. Finally, Aldridge says that the Toshiba unit has the smallest LCD display at two lines and was the most cumbersome to navigate of the three printers.
Build Quality
As we concluded the testing, we asked Aldridge to give his thoughts on the overall fit, finish, and construction of the tested units. "The Toshiba unit is the lightest unit of the three," he says. "However, it also seems to be the least industrial or real-world durable of the three." The Toshiba's base allows the printer to stand straight up and down on its own, making it ideal for cart applications where the printer may be mobile but not worn by the operator. The unit has fan-fold slot for external media loading and is the only unit tested with a side-loading battery. "It is the easiest unit to perform a battery change on," he says, "because the battery is side-mounted and can be changed without removing the printer from the operator's hip." He also feels that the unit is the least ergonomic of three, as it is "short and fat" and the belt clip sits high on the printer. This means the printer sits high on the hip during wear, making it more cumbersome and less comfortable than the other two units.
The Datamax-O'Neil printer felt the most rugged of the three units to Aldridge. It was also the heaviest. Still, the VAR reported that the unit was comfortable when worn on the hip. Indeed, he says that the Datamax belt clip provided the most natural movement of the three and seemed the most durable.
There is also a rubber boot protecting all four sides of the unit, and its base allows the printer to stand straight up and down on its own, making it ideal for cart applications
where the printer may be mobile but not worn by the operator. Finally, the unit has fan-fold slot for external media loading.
Then there's the Zebra printer. Aldridge says that the printer's case is curved to make it fit the body's natural contour when worn on the hip. In fact, he felt it was the most comfortable to wear of the three. "The build quality is industrial, and the fit and finish is excellent," he says. "However, unlike the Datamax-O'Neil and Toshiba TEC printers, the Zebra does not stand upright on its own, a consideration if you're looking for a cart application." Finally, the unit has a fan-fold slot for external media loading.
As you might expect when reviewing printers from three time-tested leading manufacturers, Aldridge didn't find much wrong with any of the units. At least, there was nothing that would blatantly disqualify a unit from being considered for your line card. Rather, there are subtle differences that might mean a lot or a little to you and your customers. In the end, it's up to you to determine which features and functions are must-haves and which you can live without.

Hartland-Lakeside to beef up security at schools
The Hartland-Lakeside School Board voted on Monday, Feb. 18, to approve the purchase of a guest check-in system, with member Val Wisniewski dissenting.
The board again deferred on the purchase of a staff and student ID system for the district's schools.
Technology consultant Scott Temperly presented several options for an ID system, but board members were still hesitant to approve it.
The guest check-in system, provided by vendor School Check IN, will cost $4,220.
Board Clerk Tom Harter was concerned about investing in a system the district would have to replace again in a few years.
"Can we pull this together, somehow, so that we don't have to do this again, so in a year we don't come back to this question?" he asked.
Wisniewski, who voted against the check-in system, said she was unsure about the system's auxiliary benefits and expressed concerns about the cost.
The district has not budgeted for the added security costs, and previous expenditures have been paid for through the district's technology budget.
Board President Laura Johnson said that any security system the School Board approves would need to be married to school policy.
"We need to have a system," she said about the check-in system. "It is far from perfect, but we need to have something."
The board's Feb. 18 meeting was one of several to focus on security after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. The board met Jan. 28 to discuss possible security measures, and voted Jan. 30 to purchase new buzzer systems and video cameras at the main entrances for each of the elementary schools and the middle school.
Temperly told the board that the student and staff ID system could have benefits besides increasing security.
Students could use their ID to pay for lunches or to check out books in the school library, and teachers could use it to gain access to the building during off-hours.
Both options would carry additional costs, however. The school would have to upgrade the swipe system allowing teachers access to the buildings, and student IDs would need magnetic strips.
