The Cultural Orientation (CO) Technical Assistance Program is managed by the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State (hereinafter referred to as the "Bureau"). The purpose of the CO Technical Assistance Program is to strengthen linkages between overseas cultural orientation programs for refugees approved for admission to the United States and reception and placement activities conducted upon their arrival.
Overseas cultural orientation is typically conducted in three to twenty hours over a period of one to five days, and addresses (at a minimum) the following subjects essential to processing, travel, and resettlement:
· Pre-Departure Processing
· Travel
· Role of the Resettlement Agency
· Rights and Responsibilities of Refugees
· Housing
· Transportation
· Employment
· Cultural Adjustment
· Education
· Health Care
· Money Management
This program serves to complement the Reception and Placement Program, the purpose of which is to promote the effective resettlement of all persons who are admitted to the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, including assisting refugees to achieve economic self-sufficiency through employment as quickly as possible.
The Bureau has established the following CO Technical Assistance Program objectives and activities for 2012:
A. To strengthen linkages between overseas CO programs and reception and placement activities:
1. Develop, maintain and manage a CO website and listserv;
2. Provide technical support to the CO working group;
3. On request, conduct presentations regarding cultural and/or community orientation at national and/or regional refugee resettlement-related conferences;
4. If requested by the Bureau, provide technical assistance to overseas and/or domestic CO programs regarding the integration of ESL training into CO curricula, as appropriate;
5. Facilitate overseas and domestic CO trainer exchanges; and
6. If requested by the Bureau, provide coordination and/or facilitation of special forums or workshops.
B. To provide information and materials to overseas CO programs and to domestic refugee service providers:
1. Compile fact sheets and other documents to be posted on the CO website;
2. Identify, locate, and distribute specific materials requested by overseas CO programs;
3. Ensure that all CO materials are available online, as possible and practicable, in accessible and flexible electronic format(s);
4. When requested, handle bulk distribution of hardcopy Bureau-produced materials to overseas CO providers and domestic reception and placement affiliates in order to supplement electronic materials;
5. Produce new translations of and updated content for the Welcome to the United States guidebooks, videos, and DVDs as directed by the Bureau;
6. Reproduce hardcopies, and maintain and store an adequate inventory of the Welcome to the United States guidebooks, videos, and DVDs as necessary to supplement electronically-available materials at the request of the Bureau, overseas CO providers, and domestic reception and placement affiliates.
C. To provide support and technical assistance to overseas CO programs on request;
D. To provide feedback to overseas CO programs as needed with input from the CO Working Group and guidance from the Bureau;
E. To provide other technical assistance requested by the Bureau, subject to availability of funds and adequate staffing levels to perform assigned tasks.
The Bureau intends to award one Cooperative Agreement in FY 2012 to a well-qualified non-profit organization with the required technical expertise in cultural orientation program activities. This will include agencies that have demonstrated satisfactory performance under previous agreements with the Bureau and/or agencies that meet the selection criteria described below and have demonstrated the capacity to provide required services. Applicants should understand that receipt of prior funding for the CO Technical Assistance Program is not a pre-condition for and does not guarantee continued participation in FY 2012.
In order to be considered for participation in the program, applicants must:
A. demonstrate knowledge and experience in cultural orientation curriculum and materials development, in educational program implementation, in basic ESL curriculum and materials development, and in adult teaching and learning methodology;
B. demonstrate experience working in a refugee context or with other migrant populations in the United States; and
C. demonstrate financial stability and provide documentation of at least three full years of operation in a 501(c)(3) non-profit status.
Failure to satisfy any of the three required qualifications above will preclude further consideration for participation in the program.
The Bureau will enter into one Cooperative Agreement for an initial period beginning January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012, subject to the availability of funds. Through the Cooperative Agreement, the Bureau will provide full financial support to the selected organization, based on the proposal submitted in response to this request. This financial support may be renewable for up to two additional years based upon budget submissions on an annual basis, as long as there remains a need for the program and the organization conducting the program provides satisfactory service, and subject to the availability of funds. At the end of three years, if the need for the program continues, the Bureau will re-compete the project, and the recipient of this award may participate in that process.
The Bureau will establish a panel to evaluate each proposal and may request revisions before an agreement is finalized. The panel will evaluate the proposals to determine whether and to what extent the organization's capacity to provide technical assistance in cultural orientation will meet the Bureau's goals and objectives for the technical assistance program. Proposals that are incomplete and/or fail to respond to all required elements of this program announcement may not be validated by the Grants.gov. In the event that an applicant's proposal is not validated, the applicant must revise and resubmit the proposal. Applicants should be aware that the time required for this process must be taken prior to the closing date and time/deadline of this request for proposals. Proposals that are incomplete or that do not include all attachments required may not be considered as responsive. Also note that if the Bureau requests revisions or amendments to the proposal post-submission, these documents will become part of the Cooperative Agreement.
The panel will evaluate eligible proposals according to the following ranking factors (100 points possible):
1. Proposed plan of work, including access to language translation services, experience and capacity to develop CO training materials and curricula, experience and capacity to conduct trainings, experience and capacity to integrate ESL into CO curricula, ability to manage an international list serve and maintain a website, expertise to create new resources, and ability to store and distribute materials. (30 points)
2. Documented organizational capacity to manage and administer a cultural orientation technical assistance program, including demonstrated knowledge, experience, and fiscal responsibility. (25 points)
3. Documented capacity to manage activities in accordance with established program requirements and performance standards, including accountability for outcomes. (25 points)
4. Detailed and cost-effective budget and demonstrated fiscal responsibility. (20 points)
The panel will present its recommendations to the Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, who will make the final award determinations.
It is the intention of the Bureau to enter into Cooperative Agreements effective January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Agencies should report all data in terms of the calendar year unless the instructions for an appendix or attachment specify another time period.
Each organization requesting consideration for the CO Technical Assistance Program through a Cooperative Agreement with the Bureau must submit all information requested in the Proposal Submission Instructions.

Rafa sure looks purty in that purple still. And hot all the way through the rest, but did I really need to say that?ReplyDelete
Hey Richie,
Maybe you have already noticed this, but I hadn't until I saw her at the USO. Maria is pear-shaped! Even with those broad shoulders, her hips are the widest part of her body. LMAO! (I'm not laughing at pear-shaped bodies, because there is nothing wrong with them. I'm laughing at myself for taking so long to notice Maria had one.)
You can't really tell on TV though I did see her up close and personal (at the pre-US OPEN watch event when she wore that one-shoulder, one-armed mess last year and didn't play.)ReplyDelete
I couldn't tell - maybe it was the distracting outfit or her distracting height...or maybe I got too self-conscious because she made me realize I'm short. Well, at least next to the blonde Russian glamazon I was short. I guess I'm not the only one who might feel a little bit inadequate standing next to her. *cries*
- AnonymousSeptember 23, 2009 at 10:10 AM
Rafa, you're the hottest man on earth! I love you, will you marry me?ReplyDelete
Aw, Richie, you should NEVER feel inadequate standing next to her, or anybody else. *blows kiss*ReplyDelete
But the next time she plays, try to watch her for a few minutes from either the chest or waist-down. Don't let the shoulders distract you. She's a perfect pear.
Rafa you're a sight for sore eyes in the morning. Makes me wanna buy a one way ticket to Mallorca. I'm coming bb!!! (I wish) :)ReplyDelete

May 26, 2016
Some customers of East Mississippi Electric Power Association can expect to see a rate increase in their power bills next month.
General manager, Wayne Henson, says a 9.3% rate increase that will affect some rste payers is a direct result of Mississippi Power's rate increase on wholesale power. EMEPA buys power from MPC.
Henson says EMEPA has gone before the Energy Regulatory Commission and taken other measures to lessen the blow.
"Not only have we brought the potential increase down because of our work with the federal Energy Regulatory Commission, we have been able to reduce our internal expenses so that we could absorb some of this," said Henson. "And that's why the first increase that we had from Mississippi Power Company was not passed on to our customers."
Henson says the rate hike amounts to an average bill increase of about $10.80 a month per 1,000 kilowatt hours.

"Beautiful Nature, Beautiful Reading": Biodiversity Book Launch and Inauguration of 2010 Biodiversity Week
31 May 2010 | News story
The event was held on May 18, 2010 at the historical Han Fen Lou Bookstore in Beijing. Six excellent books related to biodiversity conservation were launched together at the event: the First Discovery Series for young children, Elephant Rola and Teachers for Tigers for children to read with their parents and teachers. The Whole World in Your Hands for nature and geography fans, as well as In Search of Harmony: ECBP Stories and Conservation for a New Era produced by professionals and specialists at the very front of biodiversity conservation. With simple language and colorful pictures, these books fully demonstrate the miraculous biodiversity in nature and articulate its linkages with our everyday life.
Young actors were invited to act out chapters from the books. For "Conservation for a New Era", an IUCN publication, the actors played a couple who were not able to leave their home because of the changing weather due to climate change.
Other events taken place in Biodiversity Week include a film screening of The Cove, a performance of the Wildlife Conservation Society Mimi Animal Drama "Rescuing Mama Tiger," and "Green Cabin", an exhibition on new knowledge and on biodiversity and environmental protection.

In 1789, a French noble, the Marquis de Lessert, was visiting his friend in the countryside when he politely accepted the offer of a glass of mineral water. The story goes that the Marquis drank the water and promptly asked for another glass because of its freshness and purity. Later, the Marquis was astonished when a chronic kidney condition that had plagued him from years suddenly vanished. He credited his cure to the spring water, and soon, people all over France were anxious for a sip. It is from that very same spring that the Evian Spray collection is sourced.
Each formula in the Evian Spray range contains pure mineral spring water, which has an incredible power to heal and nourish the skin. Refreshing and light, the sprays leave the complexion feeling rejuvenated and hydrated. When incorporated into a daily skin care regimen, the mineral spring water spray can help you maintain your ideal skin pH, which is important for treating conditions like excess oiliness and dryness. Drench your troubled skin in the soothing waters of the Evian Spray collection.
Although the Evian brand dates back centuries, its more recent history provides insight into the company's mission and goals regarding health and beauty. The first Evian facial spray was introduced in 1962. At the turn of the 21st century—in 1999, to be precise—Evian opened its Centre for Water, a nonprofit organization that focuses on researching how water impacts overall human health. Early in the 21st century, the company continued to expand its brand, offering a limited edition glass bottle in 2000 and, later, Christian Lacroix bottles for both U.S. and European customers in 2007. The company continues to partner with other well-known designers, such as Jean-Paul Gautier, which gives the brand a designer touch.
However, Evian Spray is about more than partnerships with renowned designers and limited edition products. Ultimately, these products center around the theory that water is life, and Evian's water is natural and pure. Using this natural philosophy, Evian facial spray strives to give your distressed or dry skin a boost with pH-balanced, mineral-based formulas. Evian ensures that these natural products are environmentally friendly, never harming the ozone layer with a single spritz of this facial spray. With a desire to enhance your skin's overall health while honoring the simplicity of water and protecting the environment, Evian Spray offers multiple benefits. For the environment, these products minimize damage. For you, Evian Spray works to moisturize your complexion under even hot and humid—and subsequently moisture-depleting—conditions. You can enjoy a quick burst of refreshment every time you slip Evian Spray out of your handbag and apply it to your complexion.

Leonardo DiCaprio thrilled TV viewers over the weekend by making a surprise appearance on comedy show "Saturday Night Live."
Jonah Hill was hosting the sketch series for a third time and was making his opening monologue when fake members of the audience kept jumping up to quiz him about working with the Hollywood hunk on hit new film "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Hill joked that DiCaprio wasn't even meant to star in the film, insisting director Martin Scorsese asked him whether they should hire the superstar.
During Hill's rant, DiCaprio walked on to the set to rapturous applause from the audience.
DiCaprio wasn't the only one of Hill's former co-stars to make an appearance – his Superbad pal Michael Cera also turned up in a parody of movie Her.

We lost it on our own... ****!
that stunk at the end
whats there to say. god i hate nebraska so much.
First 5 minutes put us in a hole - we dug out of it - just could not finish. Really great effort against the odds.
Hell of an effort from an undermanned team, especially with foul trouble. Would have liked to have that last play back and at least go to overtime, but that's the way it goes. I'm more confident than I was two hours ago that this ISU team is for real.
ISU finds yet another way to lose a game.
I'm ****** beyond words.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
I hate Nebraska too much to care. Move on to the next game and knock the rock chalk out of Kansas.
Go Sssssssssyclones!
Oh well. Can't wait tell next year. Not writing off this year, but i just can't wait. I won alot of credits too is an up side.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
Not too worried about this game...we should beat them by 10+ in Ames with a full healthy team...I thought DG was smarter than to drive into that with 6.4 seconds left.
Similar things from the men and women today. Tough spots on the road. Showed some character battling back. Can't quite do what it takes to win.
tough loss but great effort. hopefully scotty's elbow recovers soon!
Lot to improve upon.
Fred took air out of the ball way too soon, we didn't get any good shots the last 3 minutes, were ahead 62-58, had them on the ropes and didn't score again. He will learn from it, I would be surprised to see him make that mistake again.
Way too many turnovers, and some incredibly bonehead fouls, a few defensive lapses.
Just too many mistakes, hard fought, just too many mistakes to win a road game.
I'll pay any of our fans good cash if they shot that damn blow-up doll Husker mascot on the way out of that joint.
Just start a poll: choose one of the following 1) I LOVE DG or 2) I HATE DG or 3) I LOVE DG UNTIL I HATE DG
Hopefully the team learns something from this loss. Set ourselves up great to win, I think running the iso with DG killed us.

The Department of Women's Studies (WS)
The Department of Women's Studies offers an undergraduate minor. The department's primary objective is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary teaching, research, and service in order to facilitate the critical investigation of the status and roles of women in society and to promote research by and about women.
Department of Women's Studies,104 Manly Hall
Admission into the minor. Students are expected to formally declare a minor. With the assistance of an advisor in the minor department, students should complete the "Declaration of Minor" form before or during the third year of full-time enrollment.
Grade point average. A 2.0 grade point average in the minor is required. The minor GPA is calculated based on all courses applicable to the minor that the student has attempted at UA and all work attempted applicable to the minor throughout the entire higher education career.
Minor courses. The minor in women's studies requires successful completion of the following 18 semester hours:
|WS 430 or WS 470
|WS elective 300 or 400 level
|WS elective or approved elective*
Upper-level residency. A minimum of 6 hours of 300- or 400-level courses in the minor must be earned on this campus.
Additional minor requirements. Students are responsible for ensuring that they have met all University, college, major, and minor requirements. However, each student must meet with an advisor in the major department for academic planning and to be cleared for registration each semester. If necessary, students may consult with the minor department academic advisor for questions concerning minor requirements.
Special opportunities. Students have the opportunity to participate in the Women Involved in Learning and Leading (WILL) program.

A new series of talks from University of Bristol's graduating MA History of Art students. Join our 'new faces' for an exploration into a diverse range of topics from Renaissance portraiture to a journey from the Gin palaces of the Victorian period to the Festival of Britain's Pub of The Future Competition. For more information on topics presented at each session please check the RWA website.
Evening One
Public Exposure: The Justifications of Breasts in Renaissance Portraiture, Rhian Addison
The breast in Renaissance portraiture is an allegorical tool that can determine an intended cultural message and the public personality of the sitter. The exposure of the breast in chaste and modest societies raises questions as to how this could be justified with the publicly recognisable faces of women. Constructs of the religious, maternal, cosmetic and erotic breast can be applied to portraits to understand multiple justifications and the contemporary reception of the image that may not be applicable today. Comparable images and contemporary information assist an understanding of the role of the breast in Renaissance portraiture based upon the social expectations of the time.
The Evolving Function of the Window in the Modern Period, Hatty Davidson
The turn of the century saw a huge change within the art world; artists were no longer attempting to mimic literary devices in their work, instead they were striving to promote visual art as an autonomous and independent creative outlet. With this new independence came a new way of looking at the many common motifs found in painting. However, the motif of the window was the one that would come symbolise a new mode of vision for the artists of the modern period. This lecture will explore the work of Henri Matisse and discuss the different ways in which he employs the window to signify this new change in art.
The shifting reception of Shakespeare and Fletcher's Henry VIII and the art it inspired, Luke Litynski-Readings
William Shakespeare and John Fletcher's Henry VIII was a cornerstone of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century theatrical repertoire. Yet today we know little about it and seldom see it performed. I ask why historical audiences and critics held particular Shakespeare plays in better (and worse) regard than we do today. I also ask how we can use artworks to understand and challenge our ideas of historical reception, particularly with respect to Henry VIII and the diverse paintings inspired by it.
'No Gin Palace for Morrison's Tonic', Jessica Hoare
When George Orwell wrote that English identity was 'bound up with solid breakfasts and gloomy Sundays, smoky towns and winding roads, green fields and red pillar-boxes', perhaps one thing omitted from his evocative description was the pub - an irrefutable part of the national landscape. This presentation journeys from the Gin palaces of the Victorian period to the Festival of Britain's Pub of The Future Competition, exploring some of the features and fittings that make the pub a national treasure.
Evening Two
Pre-Raphaelite Encounters: An Exploration into the Marlborough College Chapel Paintings by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, Lesley-Anne Faulkner
John Roddam Spencer Stanhope (1829 – 1908) remains a largely undocumented associate of the Pre-Raphaelites. Despite being proclaimed as Edward Burne-Jones' most significant follower, he continues to elude serious academic attention.
Stanhope's major contribution to late Pre-Raphaelite art is his series of biblical paintings, which remain in situ at Marlborough College Chapel, in Wiltshire. This paper considers the chapel paintings aesthetic encounters with past and present masters, e.g. Fra Angelico and Masaccio, Rossetti and Burne-Jones. Secondly, the paper considers his paintings as an attempt to invert the Muscular Christianity within the college. Does Stanhope's reputation deserve redress?
A Paradox of Power: The Contaminating Look and Caravaggio's Head of Medusa, Sian White
Caravaggio's Head of Medusa presents us with a paradox. According to mythology, one look at her face would result in the seer's transformation into stone, but clearly this is not the case when we confront a painted depiction. With no metamorphosis taking place, is it possible that this image may still hold something of a power over us? What risks do we take when meeting the gaze of the Gorgon? To what extent does the image hold the viewer hostage?
The Heber Mardon Collection - a local Victorian treasure trove, Nadia Nuaimi
Heber Mardon (1840-1925) was a prominent Victorian businessman whose Bristol-based printing and packaging company was an integral part of Imperial Tobacco. His private passion, however, was the collection of historical art and artefacts, predominantly prints and drawings. Prior to his death, he made a gift of almost 5,000 prints and drawings to Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. The Bristol collection can be roughly divided into two main areas: prints and drawings related to the great masters and those related to the history and topography of Bristol. With regard to this latter category, Mr Mardon also donated 14 volumes of grangerised albums veritably overflowing with images of Bristol's 'Past and Present'. Most of this collection has rarely been seen by the public and is, therefore, one of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery's true hidden treasures.

The San Francisco 49ers play the Baltimore Ravens in this year's Super Bowl championship.
Here's a rundown of Super Bowl XLVII by the numbers.
San Francisco has just three players on the active roster who have played in a prior Super Bowl: wide receiver Randy Moss (the 2007 New England Patriots), linebacker Clark Haggans (2005 Pittsburgh Steelers) and kicker David Akers (2004 Philadelphia Eagles).
The San Francisco 49ers have won five Super Bowl titles. The Niners won their fifth Super Bowl, 49-26 over San Diego on Jan. 29, 1995. The Pittsburgh Steelers hold the record for the most Super Bowl titles, with six.
This is the 10th Super Bowl to be played in New Orleans and the seventh at the Superdome. The first three - in 1970, 1972 and 1975 - were played at Tulane Stadium.
The forecast calls for 66 degrees and clouds in New Orleans on Super Bowl Sunday but the game will be played indoors. Next year's NFL championship will be played at MetLife Stadium in N.J. - the first outdoor Super Bowl in a cold-weather city. The Feb. 3 forecast for East Rutherford? 34 degrees and snow showers.
The face value of a premium ticket for Super Bowl XLVII is $1,200 (the same as the past three years). The cost of a premium ticket in 1967 for Super Bowl I: $12.
The NFL says 5,205 media members have been credentialed for the Super Bowl, and more than 2,000 showed up for media day interview sessions. Those sessions were also open to fans for $25, and paid attendance was 5,479 in the Superdome.
The capacity of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome is 72,003. In 2011, the Superdome completed an $85 million renovation, which added 3,100 new seats, two new premium ground level club lounges and 983 new LED lights at the top of the Gate C Podium and the landing of the Grand Staircase.
Each player on the winning Super Bowl team gets a share of $88,000. Each player on the losing team takes in $44,000.
3.8 million
The average price for 30 seconds of air time during the big game this year is pegged at $3.8 million. That's an 8.6 percent jump from last year's $3.5 million price tag, and almost 27 percent higher than the $3 million charged in 2011. The price for the same spot in 1967 for the inaugural Super Bowl? $42,000.
13 million
According to Twitter, last year's Super Bowl drew more than 13 million tweets. Twitter users sent an average of 10,000 tweets per second (!) during the final three minutes of Super Bowl XLVI. There's a lot going on during the big game.
13.6 million
Investigators have confiscated more than $13.6 million worth of phony sports merchandise over the past five months and expect to seize more in New Orleans during Super Bowl week, a federal law-enforcement official said.
50 million
Americans will consume an estimated 50 million cases of beer on Super Bowl Sunday. For those counting at home, that's 1.2 billion beers.
111 million
More than 111 million people are expected to tune in to CBS to watch the game (111.3 million saw last year's Super Bowl). The game will be broadcast live in more than 180 countries and in more than 30 different languages.
158 million
Holy guacamole! Americans are expected to consume 79 million pounds of avocados during Super Bowl parties and festivities. That works out to about 158 million avocados.

Introduced to the West in 1820, Japanese maples (Acer palmatum) have since proven to be one of the most versatile small trees in the landscape: they can be planted in groups, or grown as single specimens or accent plants, and are even popular subjects for bonsai.
Most of the varieties available at nurseries today are the culmination of hundreds of years of breeding and selection, and widely vary in form (from upright or rounded to weeping), leaf colour (purple, crimson, gold, green and variegated) and leaf shape (from finely serrated margins to deeply dissected lobes).
The best time to prune
Late autumn through to late winter is the best time to prune a Japanese maple, while the tree is leafless and dormant; it's also easier to see the woody parts of the plant since they're not obscured by the leaves. Never prune a maple in early spring when the sap is rising and the tree's energy is focused on producing fresh foliage. Minor corrective pruning and thinning may be done in the summer when the tree is in active growth.
Prepping your pruners
The aim is to accentuate and emphasize the Japanese maple's own natural shape, so it's important to observe its growth pattern before making any cuts. Ensure your pruners are razor-sharp for clean cuts (ragged edges are slow to heal and can harbour disease). Sterilize pruners in a solution of nine parts water to one part bleach before you start; re-sterilize between trees if you're pruning more than one specimen to avoid transferring pathogens.

2007 Goodguys Mid-Western Nationals - Kansas Cruisin' - Expanded for WebWritten by on January 15, 2008 Celebrating The End Of Summer At The Goodguys Mid-Western Nationals
Labor Day was established in the late 19th century as a national day of rest for the working man. Today, the three-day Labor Day weekend is celebrated as the unoffi cial end of summer, a last chance for warm-weather vacations and parties before autumn sets in. So it only makes sense that thousands of car guys in the Midwest choose to commemorate Labor Day weekend by making one last pass of summertime cruising in the rods and customs they labored so diligently to create.
For the last few years, Goodguys has provided such rodders with an ideal end-of-summer destination by hosting its Mid-Western Nationals. Held at the Kansas Speedway near Kansas City, the Mid-Western Nats has established itself as a prime venue for end-of-summer automotive fun. The 2007 event upheld the tradition with great weather and more than 2,500 rods, customs, classics, and trucks. In addition to the customary showin', shinin', and cruisin', participants had several opportunities to put their rides to the test, including an Street Challenge Autocross course set up by Air Ride Technologies and a track cruise around the speedway's high-banked oval on Saturday evening.
Rod & Custom always enjoys getting back to the Midwest, and we figured this Goodguys show would be a great opportunity to see some of the heartland's coolest rides before the harsh winter weather forced them into hibernation. We brought along a batch of Top Tin awards to hand out as we made our way around the Speedway infield, and generally had a blast checking out the finest rides from the nation's midsection.

Dan Benck cooked up his T-bucket with '60s flavor using red metalflake paint, white pinstriping and upholstery, a dual-quad Nailhead, and 10-spoke wheels up front paired with steelies and cheater slicks out back.John Wiggins didn't have a ton of dough, but he still wanted a cool, eye-popping custom. So he picked up a '62 Ford Galaxie, shaved the trim and handles, put it on the ground with Air Ride Technologies 'bags, and covered it with custommixed PPG green paint and killer orange flames.You've seen several creations from Texas-based Hatfield Restorations on these pages before. The latest is this '29 Model A roadster on '32 'rails. Though it looks like it could've been crafted decades ago, this Top Tin winner is a fresh build with a Brookville body, Pete & Jake's chassis, Winters quickchange, and T5-backed 401ci Buick Nailhead.Bob Smith dug his '33 Ford three-window coupe out of a Nebraska ditch in 1973. A few years ago, with help from his son, Bob Jr., he built it into an early '50s-style highboy hot rod with a chopped top, dual-carb Flathead, '40 wheels and brakes, and maroon Naugahyde upholstery complementing the black paint.Mercury didn't make an all-steel wagon in 1949, which is why Dave Dolman's chopped longroof leaves many people scratching their heads. Dave started with a coupe and added a '57 Ford wagon roof skin, '56 Ford side windows, '55 Merc tailgate, and '52 Merc taillights, topping it all off with custom-mixed yellow paint.Homebuilt customs don't come much better executed than Gene Weaver's '54 Bel Air. Gene gave the lid a gentle 2-inch chop, frenched the lights front and rear, added extra teeth to the grille, reshaped the rear bumper, and covered the smooth skin with Chrysler Light Almond Pearl paint.Maple panels contrasted by PPG Poker Green paint gives Carolyn Smith's '38 Ford woodie a classy, distinctive appearance. Further refinements to the old lumber wagon include a torsion bar front suspension, LT1 smallblock Chevy mill, tan leather seats, and wide whitewalls wrapped around the steel wheels.Wayne Putnam's '32 Packard coupe looks so clean and refined, it's hard to believe it began life as a four-door sedan. Rusty Jackson at Odd Rod Creations skillfully scaled down the luxury liner and also updated its underside with a Heidt's IFS, 9-inch rearend, and a blown LS1 V-8 backed by a six-speed.
We had to include at least one Deuce in our Top Tin lineup, and Bob Holt's understated five-window fit the bill perfectly.We like to reward creativity, and Jeff and Verna Sharer's fenderless flyer is about as creative as they come.Label Mark Sowell's '49 Ford however you want-a custom rod, contemporary custom, or 'box rod. We'll simply call it cool.Black was the preferred color for the toughest early Fords at the show. Jerry Eckholdt's Hemi-powered '32 five-window and Larry Roller's hammered threewindow both looked bitchin'.Steve and Tina Petterson's '55 Ford Ranch Wagon is a perfect example of clean, simple 50s fun. Its bright yellow paint grabs ya, the whitewall-wrapped five-spokes hold ya, and the white tuck 'n' roll upholstery draws ya in for a closer look.A handful of rodders put their cars to the test on the Street Challenge Autocross course sponsored by Air Ride Technologies.It's great to see Hub Harness still cruising his copper '60 Buick custom nearly 20 years after it was first finished and featured in R&C.

I think someone missed my point. I grew up hunting in NY, no orange required and one of the lowest injury states out there. I wear orange now because it is required by the state, not because I love hunter orange.
If you reread my post, I point out the stupid part of having to wear orange ... that anyone out there not hunting can dress up like a deer and be perfectly legal.
DIY til I DIE
I don't see any of those signs where I hunt, but I don't hunt near camping areas and public hiking trails. Every now and then I see a sign saying i'm entering NFS land. That's about it.
Smart hikers won't be out there during hunting seasons. Stupid hikers would ignore the signs.
Just saying.
I'm just saying a law is a law. Some people follow them and some don't. I just happen to be one that does. I could care less about who wears orange and who chooses not to. I am one of the guys like you that wears it regardless if it is required or not. To each their own. Smart hikers?
just curious, im gonna do a little research online and see if accidental shootings involved people that were actualy wearing orange. im guessing prob. people hear movement in the brush and shoot. we have all noticed movement on the mountain before and raised our rifle to check through the scope, we all have. you shouldnt have a bullet chambered anyway. and nobody can mestake a human for any wild animal. the one thing i like about guys in orange is they are easy to pick out off a mountain and i know not to go that way.

The 40-year old victor
How dare she.
Kimiko Date Krumm, the now 40-year old lady baller (this is based on Tokyo time - Happy Birthday Kimi!), grabbed her fifth Top 20 scalp of the season this time off the multi-million dollar head of defending champ Maria Sharapova who she upset 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 in the first round of Tokyo. It's like she doesn't realize she started playing before some of the WTA pros started breathing. What's more, Kimi isn't phased by all this talk of power in the ladies' game and how it's changed the game for better or worse. Her response seems to be, "Who the hell needs it?"
The ladies can hit powerfully and the game has become more physical but the newbies and oldbies can still hang. That's not a knock on the WTA tour, though, or a reference to the perceived lack of depth or mental toughness amongst the lady ballers. See, what's so awesome about Kimi's recent achievements is she has given old-school tennis a small, but very effective, place in the modern game.
Of course, supreme fitness - which was born during The Age of Williams - has been key to her big wins this year including on the red clay of Roland Garros against Dinara Safina and against Shrieka, who reacted to the loss by saying, "It takes a lot to come back and Kimiko is extremely fit." Take that fitness, then, and mix in a dash of savvy court sense, an ability to close at the net and a big heart and you've got win.
Let's be real, though: Kimi's not winning any Slams. We all know it. But could a development coach or an aspiring mom or dad coach learn a few winning strategies from a 40-year old with the gall to brandish a continental forehand in a world of westerns? Well, duh. Kimi obviously has tons to teach them.

Congratulations to Kimiko! I was thrilled for her when I heard the result!ReplyDelete
The Age of Williams? As in Venus and Serena? I think Martina may have something to say about when supreme fitness began, Richie. She may drop kick you to Jersey. ;)
No - not Jersey. I'd do anything to avoid Jersey.ReplyDelete
Just meant the entire tour had to up the fitness ante when they started dominating - they made everything so physical. Martina certainly deserves credit for adding it and making it a point of difference in her time but you didn't see all the ladies training hardcore in the gyms. She was still in the minority.
I think these days it's the opposite. It's odd if a lady baller isn't in the gym training and she probably isn't going to make a big impact until she does. During Martina's time they could still get away with not training hard. Not so much anymore.
I'd love to hear your thoughts, natch, since you're in there up close and personal!
I was going to mention Teaneck but wasn't sure if you knew where that was! ;)ReplyDelete
Hm. I see your perspective, but I have a different memory. (And God knows my memory is NOT a reliable source.) I seem to recall most of the women following in Martina's footsteps. It may have been eventual, though, not immediate. And wasn't it Lendl on the men's side who started the fitness craze?
Anyway, I remember seeing Venus in '97 or '98 at the USO (when she had the beads) on a practice court and thinking that was the hardest I had ever seen a woman hit a ball. So maybe you are right on that. I just don't remember all the women rushing to work out harder. But then, as now, I was much more interested in the men. *coughs*

No maximum
100% of sales tax on eligible equipment
To take advantage of these exemptions from tax, a solar energy retailer or a solar energy contractor must register with the Arizona Department of Revenue prior to selling or installing solar energy devices (Arizona Form 6015, Solar Energy Devices – Application for Registration). The Arizona Department of Commerce Energy Office has compiled a guide to the solar energy devices that qualify for exemption under the statutory definition. It is possible to petition the Arizona Department of Commerce to add additional items if they qualify per the statutory definition.
SB 1229 of 2012 extended this exemption to net metering transactions involving photovoltaics, and the sale of renewable energy credits (RECs). RECs are typically sold by a renewable energy generator to a utility to company for compliance with the state's renewable energy standard. SB 1229 clarified that sales tax should not be applied to those transactions.
Most cities have a 0.5 to 2% city privilege ("sales") tax that is applicable to sales or installations of solar energy devices, unless a city specifically exempts such sales under its city tax code. Solar energy retailers should check with the city in which the retail business is located to find out whether city privilege tax is applicable. Solar energy contractors should check with the city in which the installation will be performed to find out whether city privilege tax is applicable.
*Technically, the law allows retailers to deduct the amount received from the sale of solar energy devices from their transaction privilege tax base, and similarly, it allows prime contractors to deduct proceeds from a contract to provide and install a device from their transaction privilege tax base.

Top Chef Masters: A Winner Is Chosen
August 20, 2009 02:53 AM by Britteny Elrick
Tonight on the finale of Top Chef Masters,the chefs will travel to The Getty Villa, where they will be given their final challenge.Hubert Keller, RickBayliss, and Michael Chiarellowill be asked to create the "meal of their lifetime," a series of dishes inspired by their careersas chefs. Keep reading to find out which chef will win $100,000 for their charity!
Among the series of dishes the chefs must create, the first is based on their very first food memory. The second will be based on the experience that made them decide to be a chef, and the third is the opening of their first restaurant. Their final dish is to represent where they will be headed. The five winners of Top Chef and the judges will be serving as critics for their dinners.
The chefs sit down for lunch and reminisce on what sort of meals they are going to create. Rick decides for his first food memory he will do barbecued smoked quail with watermelon salad. Michael is making polenta with rabbit and wild mushrooms, and Hubert is creating a salmon souffle with flan. When they get back to the kitchen, the chefs work tirelessly to prepare their four course meal.
The chefs realize this will be the closest competition yet and they all have an equal chance of winning.Each of them is justrelying on the fact thatsomeone else will mess up. Just as they start to put their dishes together, they receive video messages from their co-workers back home. As soon as the video is over, they walk through the door to assist them with their meals.
Rick is preparing suckling pig with sunchoke puree and crispy pig's feetfor this restaurant opening memory. Um, gross. All the chefs get a little feisty when they see Hubert pull out some truffles. I believe Michael said, "game on." Please don't try to understand why truffles are such a big deal. Hubert is creating a Colorado lamb chop wrapped in vegetable mouseline for his restaurant opening memory. As for wherehe is heading as a chef, Rick is making an arros a la tumbada with seafood. Again, don't ask. Hubert decides onpan seared sweetbreads with braised beef cheeks.
The judges and critics sit down for a wonderful meal, starting with the first food memory dishes. They loved Michael's braised short ribs and thought they were perfection. The judges thought Hubert's stew was incredible and his other dishes were unexpected, but pleasurable. Rick's black mole gave Gail "shivers." Um. Um?
The diners gave Rick 4.5 stars, Hubert 4 stars, and Michael 4.5stars. First, Kelly starts withMichael and hereceives a total of 17 stars. Hubert ends up with 16.5 stars and is eliminated. Finally, it's downto Rick and he receives 18 stars, which makes him the winner ofTop Chef Masters.

Orion Atlas Pro AZ/EQ-G Computerized GoTo Mount

I'm eagerly waiting to get my hands on mine

OP: There are several threads about it...try a good search.

Once my ATRC8 show up I will see how well it works.
Two things:
The power read out is incorrect and shows 20 volts.
The polor scope 'cones' and is not exactly centered. You can center the cross hairs and it is not out of center very much.
More to come!
Posted 10 April 2013 - 12:12 PM
The new one shows the voltage as it should.
Anyhow it's only a matter of the internal voltmeter most probably.

very nice mount
Posted 14 November 2013 - 07:45 AM
Comparing the Skywatcher handcontroller to the Celestron I realized that it is much more difficult to find alignment stars (much fewer in the Skywatcher) than with my SE mount. Under polluted sky and with restricted views it is not always that easy to find alignment stars - and one needs to know their names (other than with Celestron) ... Moreover, right after I bought the mount I upgraded to the latest (3.35) software version which turns out to have been a bad decision with regard to pointing. Maybe I will downgrade again in the near future.
Another drawback is that the handcontroller appears not allow for alignment to the sun (for solar work).
I do know that there is a lot of extra software (e.g., EQMOD) and work-arounds, but I think products should work well just out of the box.
I had the bad voltage reading as well but there is a fix for that on the Skywatcher webpage (use fix only if you have that problem).
This sounds like I am not happy with the mount, but that's not true. I am certainly pampered by the easier handling of the Celestron handcontroller which is just much more convenient. However, I really like the stability when doing planetary imaging using a small field of view cam, or when I am collimating the NexStar 8SE (also with a webcam for observation of the infocus and out-of-focus images) and just nothing wobbles.
So for me (a casual observer, but used to precision instruments in my professional work) this is a very nice, solid and well built mount, but it certainly has some potential to improve with regard to handling.
Hope this helps

I have heard the solar alignment may have to be enabled but I can't confirm that for certain. A lot of handset lock it for safety reasons.
I have the Skywatcher version of this mount and there is no option to enable the Sun. In fact the Sun is not even an object that you can slew to which is a shame. You would have to choose an object such as Mercury to get somewhat close and then adjust from there. Another option is to have the auxiliary encoders enabled, set the scope at zero-Az/zero-Alt and set that as the "Home" position, then if you know what the Alt&Az position of the Sun is, you can slew or manually move the scope to match those numbers on the hand controller.

I've been using mine for imaging with a 130mm refractor and a 80 mm guide scope for a year and I can only say it works as well as my G11 with this load.. Total load 40 lbs.

To create the new Gateway we have taken the files from the old Excellence Gateway that were in a variety of media formats e.g. Word, PDF, ppt, mpeg, and put them in a repository that can be searched either through free text search or by using filters to browse. We have also developed a new taxonomy, a set of vocabularies of keywords, to catalogue the resources.
Closure of legacy sites on 30th September
On 30th September we will close the last 3 legacy sites from the old Excellence Gateway. Most of the material from these sites has been migrated to the current Excellence Gateway though not everything was deemed "fit to migrate" as it may be out of date and no longer meets the requirements at the particular level it was originally designed for.
The 3 sites closing are
- Readwriteplus - http://rwp.excellencegateway.org.uk/
- Move on - http://www.move-on.org.uk/
- Key Skills Trainer - http://keyskillstrainer.excellencegateway.org.uk/
Most of the material from these sites has been migrated to the current Excellence Gateway and can be found using a search by subject and level on the home page
Below are some FAQs that should help you find the old material.
If you still can't find what you are looking for please send an email email@example.com and someone from the support team will try to assist you in your search.
FAQs about material from the old sites
Q I am looking for the Literacy, numeracy or ESOL audio material, where can I find it.
A Most of this material was on the old ReadWritePlus site and is sometimes also known as the Skills for life material. However the audio files were on a separate site. Files have now been placed in zip folders with all of the relevant learner material, teacher notes and audio files being together in these zip files. Diagnostic assessment, learner material, teacher's notes and associated audio files can be downloaded from
Q Where are the audio files for the Literacy, Numeracy and ESOL material?
A These are in zip folders accessed from the document on the link above.
Q Where is the embedded material?
A Again this material was on the old ReadWritePlus site mostly under the "Vocational" link in Embedded material". These fields have all been migrated and can be located by a search using the relevant subject. Use the filters on the right hand side and search by the subject you are looking for.
Q Where are the practice tests?
A These tests that were part of Move on have not been migrated as they are out of date and do not reflect the requirements of the new curriculum for maths and English.
Q Where is the interactive material?
A We have taken interactive resources for English (Literacy), Maths (Numeracy), ESOL and IT from the old Read write plus, Move on and Key skills Trainer sites wherever possible and rebuilt them to work on modern operating systems. These resources can be accessed here.
Q Has everything been moved to the new site?
A We were not able to transfer all material from the old sites. Sometimes files were damaged, in a format that we could not migrate or built in an old package that we could not afford to update or rebuild.
Q Why have we redesigned the Gateway?
The old Excellence Gateway consisted of thousands of web pages across a series of websites. The information on these pages was becoming dated and it was prohibitively expensive for the Education and Training Foundation to host, maintain and update them. That is why we have moved to the new style Gateway, maintaining access to thousands of valuable and well-used resources paid for by public investment. By simplifying the repository where these resources sit and making access to them more cost effective and good value for the public purse, we have tried to ensure that this provision is sustainable. The new Gateway will also provide an excellent location for the many new resources being produced by the sector through ETF commissions.


text: By Pastor Vince CarrigSports Writer The Lady Plainsmen's leading scorers found the back door left open in the fourth quarter and all slipped through it for scores and a 60-46 win over Sedgwick County on Thursday night in Grant. Shania Metcalf led the home team with 14 points and got a putback behind the Lady Cougars' defense, Matisyn Humphrey counted 12 on the night and got open behind a pressing defense, and Michi Prante amassed 10 points and bolted loose after a give-and-go with Metcalf to inflate Perkins County's lead to 62-40. Prante also banked a shot at full extension, ran in a transition basket and grabbed a steal in a six-point fourth quarter for her. "We passed the ball well and did a good job of looking up the floor for transition points," Lady Plainsmen Head Coach Deanne Bishop said after the game. "This was a physical game on both ends of the floor. I was pleased that the girls were able to match the intensity and still stay composed." Sedgwick County's power forward Carlie Orth offset a couple of her team's defensive lapses with thrusts to the basket herself, but only cut Perkins County's fourth quarter lead to 52-40. The Lady Plainsmen set themselves up for a win by finishing the third quarter strong with a 7-0 run that included a three-pointer from guard Brandie Ross and a steal and breakaway layup from sophomore guard Mariah Curtis. Carlie Orth's double-move that busted Humphrey in the nose and two back-door buckets from Lady Cougars guard Vicki Jeffers had closed the Lady Plainsmen's third quarter lead to 36-32. Perkins County won the third quarter's tug-of-war of runs by getting two close baskets by Metcalf and two shots from nearly the same spot (three feet left of the basket) from the freshman Ross to blast to a 36-23 lead right out of the gate. Sedgwick County used high-speed layups from Becki Sawyers and Marin Olson to edge the Lady Plainsmen 15-13 in the game's second quarter. Olson added a three and Sawyers, Carly Orth and Jamie Orth all popped in a pair of free throws before halftime for the girls from Julesburg. Lady Plainsmen junior Courtney McClenahan got some revenge for getting plowed down from behind, hitting all four free throws awarded to her in the second quarter. Indeed, Perkins County scored seven of their 13 points from the charity stripe in the second quarter, adding those to a pair of field goals from Prante and one from Metcalf for a 28-23 halftime lead. Metcalf planted a lob and drilled a jumper and Jessi Hoffert and Ross shot a combined 5-for-6 from the free throw line to give Perkins County an early 10-2 lead. Carlie Orth's two shots from near the basket and Leigha Terry's long shot kept the Lady Cougars in contention in the first quarter.Perkins Co. 60Sedgwick Co. 46Perkins Co. 15 13 16 16—60Sedgwick Co. 8 15 11 12—46 Scoring leaders–Perkins County: Metcalf 7FG–14; Humphrey 5 1/2 FG–11; Prante 5 0/3–10 Ross 2 (1[x3]) 2/2–9; McClenahan 1 5/6–7; Hoffert 1 4/6–6; Sedgwick County: Orth, C. 5 2/9–12; Olson 3 (1)–9; Terry 2 (1)–7; Orth, J. 2 2/2–6

the highlight is the halley's>Tweezer. this halley's (featured during the 05/05/13 MJM) is an absolute RAGER. Just a massive wall of sound, getting completely away from the halley's structure into a fall 99 powerjam. high-powered but not necessarily memorable for anything other than the crazy energy. The tweezer that follows is similar - a notch above average but nothing to write home about. It has a rockin' build and then a mellow space outro. Bug>Fee is about as meaty as meat>meatstick. When hood came around it made the set feel as short as the first set. Some goofball antics and then typical closing show-closing action sent us to albany with high hopes.
some good moment in this show, but overall pretty uneven and left me wanting more.

I did a quick search, but couldn't find anything. I'm sorry if this has been posted already.
ZD B3 allows you to select a calendar when creating an appointment. However, it seems to always pick the last calendar/user in it's list, while the first calendar/user is my primary.
If I'm in user 1's email, I had assumed that by default, when I click on calendar, I'd be in user 1 calendar. But that's not the case.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Jessica is a special client here at Horner's Corner pet salon. She was rescued from Katrina, and today she'll get some pampering.
Kelly Horner has helped many a dog get rid of their overgrown hair. So, we sent her the Shed Ender Pro to see if it works.
It's supposed to keep shedding hair off the pet, out of your house, promote a healthy coat for long and short haired pets. We'll see.
To use the Shed Ender Pro, you roll the tool over the hair until it's gone.
"You're supposed to be getting quite a bit in there. You see some hair coming out," say Kelly.
Jessie sheds alot. And, Kelly says it is taking longer to get the job done.
"I feel like I'm sliding over the hair instead of really getting it," she says.
So, after more than 10 minutes of rolling the hair, she decides to get out her tried and true tools.
"These are furminators," says Kelly.
She says even for dogs, there are few one size fits all hair products that work.
"It depends on the coat, it depends on if you have a double coated dog, long, curly," Kelly says. "You're not stopping, I feel it grabbing the hair."
Then, she takes out a brush to get the shorter areas. Within minutes, Kelly and Jessie are feeling better about this appointment.
"I guess the tail wagging means she's happy," says Living Smart's Lesli Foster.
"Very, happy, happy!" Kelly says.
Kelly says while the Shed Ender doesn't get off some of the hair, she adds, "I don't think it would ever pull all the undercoat out, ever."
So, would she try it again?
She says, "No, no I wouldn't."
Our calls to OnTel, the company that manufactures the Shed Ender Pro, were not returned.
If you've got a product you want us to try, send us an email to email@example.com.
