Our Magento & Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration automatically identifies, and updates key customer segments, including:
Windsor Circle's retention analytics suite visualizes all your customer, product, and purchase history data through over 70 charts and graphs. You can slice and dice your data by date range, customer segment, Magento store and more. Our predictive algorithms ID new customer segments, retention opportunities, products to cross-sell, optimal email cadence, and automatically determine product re-order dates, win-back dates, and more.
Windsor Circle's extension then automatically imports and updates your Magento customer, product, and purchase data into custom fields in Salesforce Marketing Cloud. You'll be able to set up highly targeted segments based on purchase history, behavior, score, and category and product preferences. Windsor Circle automatically builds and loads unique segments like your last year's Holiday shoppers, your new 1x buyers, your Valentines Day shoppers, and more into your Salesforce Marketing Cloud account.
Our Magento Extension has the ability to push full tables into Salesforce Marketing Cloud, including a customer table (profile attributes or subscriber information), an orders table (when orders happened, total basket size, coupon, etc.), and an order details table (specific products, quantity, etc.)
With relational tables, marketers can be very specific around when products were bought, and increase the complexity of their retention program.
In addition to customer, product, and purchase history data, Windsor Circle can sync custom fields that you have defined in Magento for each store with your marketing platform. For example, you can sync fields like:
Now that we've analyzed your data and strategized with your team, it's time to retain more customers! Using our software, you'll be able to implement a wide range of automated, segmented, or personalized marketing campaigns, including:
Windsor Circle powers automated and predictive replenishment campaigns for products that a customer uses up and will likely need to re-order or re-fill. Our software automatically estimates the buying cycle of a particular consumable product, based on aggregate and individual purchase behavior, and then sends customers personalized reminder emails about replenishing the product.
Automated recovery campaigns, powered by Windsor Circle, provide each recipient with rich product information on the exact items that were left in their abandoned cart and our solutions allows for one click ordering by providing a direct link to your checkout page.
Our Magento Cart Recovery solution is available as a stand-alone product, or an upgrade to this extension.
It's easy to get Windsor Circle's Magento to Salesforce Marketing Cloud plugin installed and running.
At that point, we start pulling customer purchase records from Magento, analyzing them, and uploading the customer information directly to Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
Windsor Circle's Retention Marketing Platform helps online retailers keep and monetize their existing customers through data-driven, personalized and automated lifecycle marketing programs, connecting e-commerce platforms, email marketing software, and other data sources; analyzing customer purchase history and behavior; and automating customer loyalty, cart recovery, product recommendation, and other segmented email campaigns.

I just upgraded our Zimbra server to 6.10 and now my Tasks are not syncing to my desktop? I am using desktop version 2.01. They do show up when I log in to the server through the web interface however.
There is nothing in the Desktop log about tasks syncing so I'm lost as to what it can be.

Drawing on his own vast and personal knowledge of love--at least certain aspects of it--Leon dispenses advice to the men and women of Chicago about matters of the heart and body.

Leon is earnest, inexhaustible and inexplicably attractive to women--he's the Ladies Man--and in his own endearingly innocent way, he only wants to do one thing: help the world with his expert knowledge of amore.

+++ on the katydon pack pumps. I have been looking at adding a stery pen but not that concerned as the pump works dang well.
+++ on the katydon pack pumps. I have been looking at adding a stery pen but not that concerned as the pump works dang well.
I hunt because......
Water treatment methods:
1) No treatment. Studies have shown in most backcountry areas of the Western US this is pretty safe, and people are far more likely to bring a pathogen into the backcountry than get infected with a pathogen from the backcountry. I don't like this method for peace-of-mind reasons.
2) Classic pump filter. I have had several Katadyns. They don't work on viruses, and there is some debate whether they do much on other pathogens. They are heavier, and will break with use. They are better for filtering larger amounts of water than some other methods, but pumping sucks.
3) "Flow" filters (Sawyer, etc.). I have these too, and like that they are at least as effective as a traditional filter and easier to use. I really like the inline filters because you can just dip your bladder and drink as you go. Downsides are similar to regular filters, but the biggest drawback is they WILL freeze in the cold and break, so cold weather use is limited.
4) Drops/tablets. They are ultralight and convenient. I don't like the wait times or the taste of some methods.
5) UV Treatment. I have a steripen and this is my favorite method for areas with a lot of water, because I can save weight by only taking a quart at a time, and filling as I go. It is quick and easy. It deactivates everything, including viruses. You do need pretty clear water and you depend on batteries. Works in the cold.
6) Boiling. By far the safest method. It is slow, and you end up with really hot water. It takes fuel to do it.
My .02
Sawyer filter with tabs for backup. Lightweight and effective. When I hunt in freezing temps I wrap the sawyer filter with a clothing item and stuff in pack. Haven't had one crack yet but I don't hunt in the extreme frigid temps of the far north either
I use the Katadyn Hiker Pro and the Katadyn water bottle. They will get rid of the bacteria, viruses, cysts and will improve the taste of the water. Pens treat the stuff but it stays in the water, they don't remove dirt, and the water needs to be clear for them to work. If you want to use tablets I'd go with the Katadyn Micropur tablets they are the only EPA registered tablets that kill all microorganisms to the EPA standard including Cryptosporidium.
Ah, the nostalgic aroma of a yak dung stove brewing up some tea full of herbs best left untranslated.
From the Zen Backpacking Site
I have been using the MSR hyperflow for 5 years and it is a great way to treat water in the back country. I recomend this pump to people but it is the only one I have used.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
I have a MSR pump which is great. I used the iodine tablets one year to save weight but didnt like wait half hour to drink.
Steripen is a great lightweight and rapid working product, but I have experienced problems with it in the cold. I learned the hard way that you should take the batteries out and stick them in your pocket between uses, or keep the whole unit in a insulated pocket. The steripen is awesome when you know you will be encountering clear water sources, like mountain streams or lake water. For turbid water sources, like ones encountered in a lot of desert environments, the pump style or filtered products are really nice, and worth the extra weight- unless you are cool with slimy/gritty brown water in your mouth (yuck). I will also always have some chlorine dioxide tablets just in case- these are so lightweight and packable it is almost a no-brainer. Of all the topics on this great forum, I think that back country hydration is one of, if not THE most important aspect of a hunters preparation for a back country outing. Best of luck on your upcoming back country hunts.
Will be using my Geigerrig with inline filter on all archery elk season in Colorado.
Works really well.
We used iodine tabs in the service, and today the smell of iodine will make me puke!. I'm hunting the high country, so this season I'll haul a steripen along with some Aquamira tablets, but I'll also take along some pieces of cheesecloth to put over the mouth of the container to act as a "large object" screen.

On this February 19, Lil Wayne will release the highly anticipated sequel to his 2010 album I Am Not a Human Being. Yet despite this news of the LP's impending release, Weezy says he may soon call it quits on his music career.
In a recent interview with MTV, Lil Wayne said that he's planning to retire from making music after releasing Tha Carter V, the fifth installment of his critically acclaimed series. The New Orleans rapper explained that in his decade-plus professional career in Hip Hop, his interests have expanded to other activities while his passion for recording tunes has increasingly waned.
"I know y'all want me around for a little bit, [but] Tha Carter V is my last album," he revealed. "I've been rapping since I was 8 years old; I'm 30 now. That's a long time, and I like to do so many more things, and when I like to do something, I end up loving to do it real quick. And I love to do something, I'm fully focused on it and it only, and music sometimes is not that 'it.'"

After playing in two 80s smash films, "Ruthless People" (1986) and "Beverly Hills Cop II" (1987), Reinhold's profile receded a bit. He worked as an actor on cable TV-movies including "Black Magic" (1992) and, on one occasion, as a producer of the Cinemax special "Judge Reinhold and Demi Moore in The New Homeowner's Guide to Happiness" (1987). Most of his feature acting work of the same period could be charitably described by the title of a 1991 film, "Near Misses", in which he starred.

About this font family
Bembo was modeled on typefaces cut by Francesco Griffo for Aldus Manutius' printing of De Aetna in 1495 in Venice, a book by classicist Pietro Bembo about his visit to Mount Etna. Griffo's design is considered one of the first of the old style typefaces, which include Garamond, that were used as staple text types in Europe for two hundred years.
Stanley Morison supervised the design of Bembo for the Monotype Corporation in 1929. Bembo is a fine text face because of its well-proportioned letterforms, functional serifs, and lack of peculiarities; the italic is modeled on the handwriting of the Renaissance scribe Giovanni Tagliente. More…

Rained on me the first night...
Used this tent in an Alabama downpour the first night of my backpacking trip. The Lone Spring 2 kept me dry. This tent is great, everything about it is a class act. The rain fly securing with fastex buckles is great. Setup and takedown is a breeze. This is my first Big Agnes tent and I'll have to say, I am never even looking at another brand. I've had issues with condensation in prior tents due to the extreme humidity we have in the south, but with the giant vents on the rain fly, ventilation was superb. I give this tent 5/5 stars. If I could give it higher than that, I would.

Royals acquire catcher Matt Treanor from the Texas Rangers for cash considerations
The Royals have announced today that the club has acquired catcher Matt Treanor from the Texas Rangers in exchange for cash considerations. With the trade, the Royals 40-man roster now stands at 40. Treanor is expected to join the Royals today and be in uniform for the club's exhibition game this afternoon against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Treanor, 35, returns to the Royals organization after originally being selected by the club in the fourth round of the 1994 June Free Agent Draft. He was traded by the Royals to the Florida Marlins in exchange for pitcher Matt Whisenant on July 29, 1997. Treanor led the American League-champion Rangers in games caught last season and homered in the ALCS against the Yankees. He batted .211 in 2010 and set new career highs in games (82), at bats (237), runs (22), hits (50), home runs (5), RBI (27) and walks (22). A seven-year Major League veteran, Treanor is a .227 career hitter in 360 games for the Marlins (2004-08), Tigers (2009) and Rangers (2010). He batted .273 (6-for-22) with one home run and four RBI in 11 games for the Rangers this spring.
Treanor and his wife, two-time gold medal beach volleyball player Misty May-Treanor, reside in Coral Springs, Fla.

In the market for a new alt-az mount...
Posted 06 December 2012 - 11:40 PM
But I would now like an alt-az mount with higher capacity and easy DSC/encoder installation. Specifically I'd like an alt-az mount suitable for longish 4" refractors, my TEC 140 and SCTs up to about 9.25".
I've looked at the DM6, Half Hitch Nova, Unistar and T-Rex mounts. Then I came across the Desert Sky Astro Products mounts.
They sound like they'd be right in line with my requirements and preferences (I need to be able to handle either Vixen or Losmandy dovetails, want simplicity, want slo mo controls plus a pan handle, etc. Anyone used one of these?
Posted 07 December 2012 - 01:19 AM
You should definitely have a look at the AOK Swiss / AYO line.
The new AYO Mark II offers full encapsuled encoders.
Using a counter weight on the opposite side of the scopes it can carry up to 12 kg's.
None of the AYO's has slow mo's but with this kind of design it is simply not necessary, maybe an optional "Guiding Handle" for even smoother movements.
Here is the complete lineup:
And here the new AYO Mark II:
....up to the real heavy Duty "AYO Master"

Agree, as far as not needing slow motion controls which requires two hands in a sometimes awkward position. One hand tracking feels more natural, to me.
For a TEC 140 and 9.25 SCT, I'd go from least expensive starting with the Unistar Deluxe Super 8 with Losmandy saddle and Encoders, AYOmaster or a DM-6 of which I just acquired and think it has the most load capacity of the three.
A Über tripod would also need to be in the mix.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 10:54 AM
Those are nice mounts! I am looking at the Master. Just $2355 with the encoders, and made in Switzerland, land of fine machinery.

Stephan, for $1000, you may want to try Stellarvue. They may still have a few MG2's around that have all these features plus encoders that would get you where you want to be. It just doesn't have the carry capacity I need...

Jim, you had my curiosity up since I, too, have been interested in a quick-setup ALT/AZ mount for my TEC 140. Unfortunately, I saw this quote on their site, "The DSV-3 is recommended for refractors up to 1000f/l, 20lb in weight." I don't know about your setup, but my TEC 140 is north of 25lbs when I'm actually using it. Same with my MaxScope 90 - another OTA I wanted to use with it. Sounds a little too light weight for us.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 03:23 PM
Posted 07 December 2012 - 04:31 PM
"The DSV-3 delivers:
* Proven 140mm f/7 Refractor and 11" SCT capability. The DSV-3 can carry each of these scopes by itself or both at the same time. The mount works well with Refractors, SCTs, Maks, Newtonians, etc."
And this...
"So, how does the DSV-3 perform? In the words of DSV-3 owner:
"BTW, I got a brief first session in last night. Using one tube at a time I mounted a TEC 140 and then a Tak 102. I had no problems following your manual and I had the setup balanced in minutes. The Tak, of course, did not come close to challenging this mount. The great news is that neither did the TEC 140. It's great to have an alt/az mount capable of such a load that moves when I push and stops when I stop pushing. Very smooth in all directions. No drift at horizon nor at zenith. No tension added, I kept it loose. During the brief time I observed (fed the mosquitoes) I used a Nagler Type6 9mm on the lighter end and an Ethos 21 on the heavier end. The QBS responded quickly and perfectly"
Steve E. in Louisiana"
Which leaves me to believe that the rating on the website is out of date. The C11 OTA bare is 27#, then add a finder, diagonal, etc., and you're pushing 30# pretty quickly. I also assume the TEC 140s it was tested with weren't "naked". That is, they included rings, dovetail, finder, diagonal, etc.
Posted 07 December 2012 - 05:40 PM
But I've found with my larger scope I'm using higher magnifications and get frustrated without tracking, and the larger alt-az mounts are almost as much hassle as setting up an equatorial.

I wonder about this too. My Vixen GP2 is really pretty easy to setup. The only negative is that I have to point the scope in EQ mode rather than in alt/az, but then once I'm on the target I get tracking for free.

AP130 GT is a beast, Beat suggested AYOdigi based on my requirements with fully loaded AP130GT. I paid under $1500 that includes encoders / Argo navis holder and shipping to USA in the middle of 2011. May be the dollar rate and new prices changed the price.
I previously used Grio II, Universal astronomics, Quarter-hitch and Tak Teegul. All of them pale in comparison when it comes to the load capacity or the smoothness of the movements of AYOdigi. It is one finely machined and solid piece of equipment. The encoders are 10,000 tic and always palced the object in view with my AP130/Docter 12.5mm 84 deg eyepiece).
It will be a perfect match to TEC 140 when matched with a tripod like Berlebach planet (which I use) or I think DM6 is equally capable to satisfy your needs when it has the extender(which I dislike).
I do NOT prefer slow motion controls especially when the mount is light weight. Every turn induces vibration (Like my Mini Half-hitch). I also dislike anything less than Losmandy D-style saddles when mounting a heavy refractor.
AYOdigi comes standard with vixen style and the other end with holes with 35mm spacing allowing to attach Takahashi clamshells or Robin casady's 8" saddle. I asked for 35mm spacing on both sides to attach Casady's dovetail saddles, you can take a look at a pic of Ayodigi with my refractors at Ayoswiss page.
Only a couple things I did not like of AYOdigi are 1) the base comes with 3/8" hole drilled within the Aluminum base. I would like to be changed with a Steel base like Half-hith mounts for repeated assemble/disassemble. The second thing is you can not completely lock an unbalanced scope (this is a negative with every alt-az mount except Half-hitch style mounts).
Now I use AYOdigi with Kokusai kohki vixen porta guide handle, without handle it is hard to pan the scope. This handle fits perfectly with 35mm spacing (as in Takahashi Teegul).
I initially opted for Super half-hitch but it was never materialized. If I have to do it again, I would first opt for AYOdigi or DM6.
The choice of Tripod and dovetail saddle attachment is as important as the mount itself .
Good luck!

I pre-ordered the new Nova Hitch. You should check out their yahoo group for information or call Charles directly. I think that it is going to be an extraordinary alt-az mount.
A word of caution when pre-ordering. I wouldn't place an order unless the mounts are currently shipping.
When I placed an order for Super half-hitch, I had to wait 14 months and no mount in sight. There were issues with sub-contracter. Finally i had to cancel and wait for my refund. It was very frustrating experience and I will never do that mistake again when purchasing astro equipment.
Hopefully things got better now for the Nova hitch.

We ask a lot of our skin. On a daily basis, we subject our skin – particularly our faces – to extremes of cold and heat, wind, airborne pollution, ultraviolet radiation, very low humidity in modern buildings, scratching, rubbing and shaving. It's about time we did something in return and The Art of Shaving Men Moisturizers are a good start. Think of it as self-defense, because if you ignore your skin, you'll soon find yourself with dry, itchy, flaky skin, razor burn, shaving bumps and ingrown hairs, particularly in places where you shave often. It not only looks awful, but it feels worse.
By using The Art of Shaving Men Moisturizers, you can heal the damage that each day brings to your skin. Even better, The Art of Shaving Men Moisturizers can prevent problems before they start, by hydrating, softening and cleaning your skin, unclogging pores, freeing up hair follicle openings and nourishing skin cells. It's more than just appearance: Neglected skin can become damaged and suffer from a variety of unpleasant conditions. Do your skin, and yourself, a favor by using The Art of Shaving Men Moisturizers.
You've got skin in the game and you see it every time you look in the mirror. Keep your skin in good shape with The Art of Shaving Men Moisturizers. Keep your skin nourished, hydrated and revitalized by giving it the raw materials it needs to stay in peak condition.
Moisturizing is a great start to skin care, and The Art of Shaving Moisturizer – Orange and Calendula provides the necessary agents to keep skin looking and feeling good. After a cleansing with The Art of Shaving Facial Wash Peppermint, apply the moisturizer morning and evening. It performs several tasks simultaneously: The colloidal oatmeal and white kaolin clay gently exfoliate loose skin, while the olive oil, jojoba seed oil and aloe butter moisturize. Shea butter is a traditional botanical preparation made from the pounded pulp of the shea nut in tropical Africa, and revitalizes skin, provides collagen to help improve the appearance of premature wrinkles and lines and is particularly beneficial for dry or sunburned skin. It penetrates quickly and deeply, to keep skin clear and healthy.
Ingrown hairs occur in areas that are shaved frequently and are often caused when dead skin cells block hair follicle openings. Recognizable as small, itchy, tender pinpoint red bumps, they can be treated with The Art of Shaving Ingrown Hair Night Cream, applied nightly. The jojoba and olive fruit oils and shea butter hydrate and soften the skin and unclog the pores, allowing the trapped hair to work its way free. The floral and herbal extracts reduce inflammation and prevent infection.

Thursday Afternoon News, Nov. 1
Le Mars Community High School To Feature "Sound of Music"
(LE MARS) -- Le Mars Community High School students will be performing one of the most popular musicals of all time this weekend. Rogers and Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music" is being staged today (Thursday)-Saturday. English teacher Erin Ohrland is directing the cast of 57. She says the reason they decided to take on such a big production is because of the abounding talent this year.
Listen to
In addition to students you'll see on stage, there is a pit orchestra of 15 and a stage crew of 4. When casting this production, Ohrland says that the students came in to audition without knowing what show they were doing.
Listen to
Junior Erin Conner earned the lead female role of Maria in "The Sound of Music." She says her favorite part of the character is interacting with the Von Trapp children and the best part of working on the show has been seeing it all come together.
Listen to
Erin was previously a student director for a production, and had a singing role in a musical speech competition piece last year. In addition to showcasing a group of talented students, Director Ohrland says that the sets will be plentiful. A functional two story house will be used to feature the enormity of the Von Trapp family.
Rogers and Hammerstein's "The Sound of Music" will be performed in the middle school gym by the Le Mars Community High School tonight (Thursday), Friday and Saturday at 7pm. They encourage you to buy tickets ahead of time at the high school office. The cost is $7 for all who attend.
More Fiberglass Ice Cream Cones To Be Ordered
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce will be placing an additional order for fiberglass ice cream cones prior to Thanksgiving. If anyone would like to purchase one of the cones, you will need to contact the Le Mars Chamber of Commerce office. The Le Mars Public art project has been on-going for over two years. The Le Mars Public Art project currently has 57 cones, a cow, and a dog placed throughout Le Mars. A bulldog will be placed in front of the new Le Mars Community School auditorium in the next few weeks.
Tyson Foods Settles With Workers
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) - Tyson Foods, Inc. would pay $950,000 under the proposed settlement of a class-action lawsuit covering 1,200 workers at a Council Bluffs meat processing plant who claimed
wage violations, but most of the money would go to lawyers.
Court documents filed Wednesday show Tyson Foods reached the tentative agreement with workers' attorneys, and both sides are seeking a judge's approval.
The deal would reimburse plaintiffs' lawyers $340,000 for out-of-pocket costs and award $309,000 in attorneys' fees.
Current and former workers dating back to 2006 could claim payments from a $271,000 pot, based on factors such as how much they worked and their specific jobs.
The lawsuit claimed Tyson should've paid employees for time spent putting on and cleaning clothes and equipment and sharpening knives before and after shifts. Tyson denies wrongdoing.
Appeals Court Dismisses Sierra Club's Fight Against Proposed Highway
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Appeals Court has dismissed an appeal from the Sierra Club in its fight against the Highway 100 extension in Cedar Rapids.
The court's decision issued Wednesday agreed with a lower court that said the Sierra Club didn't first seek administrative remedies with the Iowa Department of Transportation. The court also said the highway project remains a proposal that is not yet ripe for judicial review.
The club says the project would damage the ecosystem of two nature preserves.
Attorney Wallace Taylor represents the Sierra Club Iowa Chapter, and he says the ruling will be appealed to the Iowa Supreme Court. Taylor also says a federal lawsuit challenging the highway
project's environmental impact is pending.
Ankeny Councilman Changes Mind Over Proposed Casino
ANKENY, Iowa (AP) - Public reaction against a proposed Ankeny casino has persuaded a City Council member to renounce his original support.
Mark Holm says that the feedback has made it clear to him that residents don't want a casino in their town. Holm says he's consequently reversed his opinion of the $150 million project that developers say would create about 600 jobs.
On Monday Holm voted for a contract committing the city to helping Wild Rose Entertainment's efforts to obtain a state gambling license.
Council member Bobbi Bentz and Mayor Steve Van Oort also oppose the project.
The casino would be built near a new interchange on Interstate 35 in the Des Moines suburb.

Near-sourcing gains traction in supply chain
November 29, 2010
Since issuing its study last summer, Global consultancy IDC Manufacturing Insights contends that U.S. manufacturers are continuing their flight from low-wage outsourcing.
"We seen a definite reversal of strategy," said Simon Ellis, practice director, supply chain strategies. "Our study in July coincided with President Obama's pledge to concentrate on U.S. exports, so that may have had something to do with it, too."
In any case, said Ellis, U.S. companies are favoring a "hybrid model," these days, as they cut their reliance on low-wage nations.
"As anyone can see," added Ellis, "the wage structure in many developing countries is changing, and it may not always be cheaper to pursue this way of doing business."
Especially when supply chain costs continue to rise, said Ellis.
As reported in LM, the worldwide study of over 700 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry was done on behalf of Infor and IBM.
According to researchers, there seems to be an increased focus on the importance of customer fulfilment in contrast with a previous emphasis on low-cost sourcing strategies.
The consultancy asserted that low-cost sourcing could result in lower responsiveness and poor customer service, higher costs, and additional risk factors such as supply chain disruptions, diminished IP protection and environmental concerns. The study indicated that North American and European manufacturers would focus on improving their own operations for the medium-term as opposed to aggressively looking to sourcing partners to cut costs.
One of the general conclusions of the study was that manufacturers were struggling to ensure customer fulfilment due to complex and global supply chains. This made gaining control over the "customer experience" very challenging.
IDC spokesmen stated six months ago that the results of the study perhaps should be seen as an opportunity for companies involved in global logistics services "rather than the more obvious threat implicit in the findings."
"The challenge for logistics and transportation companies will be to provide SMEs with the reliability and visibility which they clearly lack and which is hindering their adoption of global sourcing strategies," said spokesmen.
Furthermore, added IDC, the study suggests that a greater focus on the needs of smaller businesses could pay dividends for logistics companies.

Hey Scuba Pros!
I'm a screenplay writer and I'm wrestling with a scuba
question for a murder scene.
In 1969 how could somebody sabotage scuba gear?
It has to be believable. Somebody who does not scuba dive
tampers with the guys gear and the guy drowns when he dives.
Was this possible back then? Any ideas??

It's possible still today, but not as easy as it would seem. Most things you could do to a person's gear that they woudn't notice probably aren't going to cause enough of a failure of their gear to cause a drowning incident.
In 1969 a diver actually used far LESS gear than they do today so there would be less places to hide some sort of tampering.
On top of that we add that the classes were FAR more rigerous and strict in 1969 than they are today. Since scuba was still farily new as a recreational sport and the gear rugged at best, the people teaching it were using techniques similar to USN Frogman skills. What that means for your plot here is that it would be rare that the user of the equipment wouldn't perform some sort of thorough check of their equipment prior to diving. And there is really nothing a sabotuer could do to the equipment that would not be noticable at the surface prior to a dive that would fail suddenly during a dive.
The next issue you'd come up with again points toward training. Even today we teach people to make an ascent to the surface on a breath of air in the case of a complete failure of equipment. Admittedly most divers never ever practice it again after their basic class, but it is taught. Back in 1969 when gear was less reliable (often actually home made!) this was a skill that some considerable time was spent on during the class. So, even with a complete sudden failure, during that era of our sport, chances are very unlikely the end result would be a drowning.
One possibility could be Decompression Sickness (the bends). If it is a bad enough case one can die from it. Also, air expansion injury is another possibility. The air we breath is compressed but on the surface our bodies are not. Since we are mostly water, was we descend underwater, more pressure is exerted upon our bodies. Approximately every 33 feet we undergo pressure called an atmosphere. 33 feet the pressure on us is double what it is at the surface. 66 feet it is x3. 99 feet is is x4 and so on. If his ascent was from a depth of say 100 feet after having been underwater for more than say 20 minutes OR if he panic's and held his breath on that rapid ascent, there stands the possibility of an air embolism in either the lung or even brain (more rare), causing an extremely painful and very vivid expiration of the diver.
But your problem with making it believeable in 1969 is once again the level of training a diver received back then. Something would have to cause enough panic that the diver would forget their rigerous training and for what ever reason hold their breath on the rapid ascent.
So... here is the only potential possibility I can come up with. And even it's a stretch, but you are the creative one here, being a screen writer.
Divers cylinders are filled with air. Frequenlty you'll hear them mis-stated as being "oxygen tanks". This could not be any further from accurate and is one of the VERY FIRST things a real diver will notice and instantly know the writer hasn't a clue. We breath dry, compressed, filtered air. The exact same air you are currently breathing as you read this. Oxygen is actually a toxic gas under pressure or at higher concentrations. 100% oxygen is toxic to a diver in as little as 20 feet of depth. And it's a VERY nasty way to go. What's more, it's not a "possible" drowning, you wind up experiencing what's called o2 toxicity shock. The person experiences uncontrolled convulsions that are very painful and they cannot control keeping the regulator in their mouth. Basically they convulse, cough, choke and drown very painfully.
So, if a saboteur could gain access to the cylinders without the diver knowing and alter the gas, 100% oxygen would do the trick. They would not notice any taste difference when checking the equipment as they would with any other foreign substance, and it'd be a pretty definitive and graphic way to go as far as Hollywood is concerned.
Hope that helps!

This is my first bull. Nevada 2006 scored 350 took him at 425 yards with a heart shot. I brought some friends along to help.
It was -20 opening day in Ely Nv. Saw a ton of elk that year. We hiked up 4200 ft to 11500 took 9 hrs to get there. Bad thing was we were after a 6x8 380 but we lost him in the timber when he bedded. This one came out and fed on a hill side with 15 other bulls so I took him home.

Video: Mammogram Study: What Now?
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- A year-long study by independent leading cancer researchers have led to a conclusion that women with "average risk" for breast cancer may receive mammograms every other year instead of the annual exam.
The study, funded by the National Cancer Institute, indicates biannual mammograms helps to maximize the benefits of preventative screening while lowering the harms such as getting false positives for women 50 to 74 years old.
"A woman may be told she has an abnormal mammogram. She may undergo further imaging or biopsies. She's found not to have breast cancer. That's a harm to women; it causes stress, and anxiety," says the leading author of the paper, Jeanne S. Mandelblatt, MD, MPH, Associate Director of Population Sciences at Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The entire report is published in the November 17, 2009 Annals of Internal Medicine. A woman ranks "average risk" for breast cancer if she does not have family history, genetic susceptibility, among other factors.
"Some women undergo unnecessary biopsies. And screening can find small tumors that may never have harmed the woman," Mandelblatt explains.
The biannual exam also models after the growth of the cancer:
"Breast cancer, in general, is a slow growing disease. So by screening every other year, we can still detect almost all cancers at an early, curable stage, says Mendelblatt.
Meanwhile, aggressive tumors that grow fast are not prevented or affected by yearly mammograms.
Still, Mendelblatt says women should speak to their healthcare providers to assess and understand specific breast cancer risk.
The study results represent a unanimous consensus of six independent research groups from various academic institutions.
Other authors include: Kathy Cronin and Eric Feuer of the National Cancer Institute; Donald Berry, Mark Munsell, Peter Ravdin and John Venier of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center; Harry J. de Koning, Gerrit Draisma and Nicolien van Ravesteyn of the Department of Public Health, Rotterdam, the Netherlands; Hui Huang of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute; Sandra Lee and Marvin Zelen are in the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard School of Public Health; Sylvia Plevritis, Bronislava Sigal and Stephanie Bailey of Stanford University; Clyde Schechter of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Michael Stoto of Georgetown University Medical Center; Natasha Stout of Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.

(WXIA) -- President Obama welled up with emotion while thanking his campagin staff Thursday.
The Commander-in-Chief teared up telling the group that "even before last night's results, he felt the work that he had done had come full circle."
He compared the workers to "ripples of hope" and went on to say what they had done will go down in history.
After the group gave President Obama a round of applause, he told them that he knew the they "would not disappoint him because he had already seen what they could do."

We would consider this the uber business stand for kids. While there is a pretty hefty price tag, this is the type of table that will probably find most use from student groups that raises money on a regular basis. The table is well-constructed. We loved that the wipe board allowed kids to personalize the use of the table for any particular function. It also comes with a lock box for money collected and a solar powered calculator...also useful. The stand comes on wheels (that lock) - ideal for moving from location to location.

Item # RID0090
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Pre-Configured Triathlon Bikes in stock than that.View Similar Products
Ridley Phaeton T Rival Complete Bike $0.00
If you are relatively new to the sport of triathlon or are looking to get into it with the right equipment, you probably aren't wanting to spend the season's race budget on a new bike. Though swimming and running are equally important parts of the race, your technique and times aren't going to improve on a bike that had its heyday when your dad was racing it. Ridley knows the what you need to start your journey to Kona. The Phaeton T SRAM Rival Complete Bike provides all of the aerodynamic and position advantages you need, while offering up unrivaled comfort. With a solid group of components, a sleek, wind-cutting frame design, and a cost-effective price, there's no reason that the bike should be considered your 'weak leg'.
Ridley threw almost every trick in its playbook at the Phaeton T frame in order to provide a sound aerodynamic profile. To start, Ridley used strong and stiff, triple-butted 7005 aluminum to construct the tubes. Aluminum, when shaped correctly, offers a toe-to-toe weight-to-stiffness ratio with carbon fiber, which is why we'll take great aluminum over cheap carbon any day of the week. Now, in terms of aerodynamics, a common misconception is that carbon is, in and of itself, naturally aero -- not true. The truth is that carbon is easily molded into aero-shapes, but with Ridley's use of hydroforming on the tubes, it was able to create a profile that cheats drag without sacrificing comfort. Not only does the frame shape increase laminar flow, but the Phaeton also features internal cable routing and Ridley's F-Surface technology to dissipate wind-resistance. F-Surface is easily our favorite feature of this bike, and you won't find it from anyone else but Ridley. Through the strategic placement of textured surfaces on the frame, F-Surface creates an artificial boundary layer that increases laminar flow, and accordingly, permits air to remain attached while passing around the frame.
Knowing that aluminum can a bit
jarring at times, Ridley included its 4ZA R-Blade carbon fiber fork to
dissipate road vibration and chatter. And considering that you're going
to spending 95% of your time over the front wheel, this suppleness is a
welcomed addition to the Phaeton. Further in the comfort department, the
Phaeton has a sophisticated positioning system that allows multiple
adjustments. Knowing that flexibility is variable throughout the season,
Ridley equipped the Phaeton with a full-length aero carbon seatpost
with its A.S.A. adjustment system. This allows you to easily re-position
the seat angle to your liking, and thus make your reach to the Profile
Design T3 Airwing bars as comfortable as possible.
The aerodynamic advantage of your frame is lost if your shifting is slow, or your braking unresponsive. With this in mind, Ridley loaded the Phaeton T with an impressive component package. The bike rolls smoothly on the reliable Fulcrum Racing 7 wheels wrapped in Continental Ultra Sport tires. A SRAM Rival crank, PG 1070 cassette and PC 1030 chain transfer power to the wheels. Rival front and rear derailleurs are moved by SRAM TT500 shifters, and Tektro RX4.1 brake levers move Rival brakes.
The Ridley Phaeton T Rival Complete Bike comes in Black/green and is available in X-Large.

The child can go into care. It happens a lot.
That is the parents choice. They made that choice of their own free will. If my government spends my money on private groups then I have not had that choice, and I object to that.
Someone who is born poor, will have a primary discourse which is not consistent with what our culture views as the channels to success and self-improvement(education), therefore poverty is a failing of society as a whole, not an individual, in about 99.99% of the cases.Quote:
Having just consulted both the OED and Wikipedia, I have come to the conclusion that social discourse is concerned with the way in which society communicates ideas, and am therefore at a loss as to what your point is.
Next year I stand to make £12,000, of which at least 20% will will be stolen by the government as income tax.
The Editor, what is the socio-economic condition of your parents/family?
Middle class, I guess. We're no too sure atm :P Currently things are running tight due to your country fucking up the economy.
Yes, because tax is the only important thing in the world.
The Editor the thing is you have a very sheltered view of the world. Your primary discourse was consistent with education etc growing up. Someone born to an impoverished family will not have that same advantage, so it is a moral obligation for those born with advantages to help those born without advantages so that they can improve themselves, and more people can be born with advantages.
There are other things too, moron. I quite like having an NHS, living in a temperate climate without severe weather conditions and being able to vote Conservative.
That depends on how the year goes.
If it's a moral obligation then why does the government have to make the decision for us? If it were a charity then yes, that would be okay. I'd have a choice. But to take my money and put it into a non-public service without my say so? That isn't right.
Goddamn the Editor you are a stupid sheltered middle class white faggot with a massive sense of entitlement because your parents happened to have money when you were born and are utterly ignorant of the real world.
What the fuck do you know about my life? True, I may live in a way which is above and beyond other people. But is it above and beyond those people to improve their economic condition? No, it isn't. If I want to maintain my lifestyle I'm going to have to work for it. And if they need the state to support them then they clearly aren't working enough to support their lifestyle, and so should either change their lifestyle or improve their work. That's how a capitalist system works: you get what you give.
Health, transport, education, construction... These are things the government should spend its money on. They are there for everybody. But spending money on individuals is only for their benefit.
Then tell me, how do I live my life?
God The Editor you are such a fucking idiot I'm sorry. You have no concept of the real world you middle class majority faggot.
*sighs* And you have no idea what it's like to have money, right? ::)
Pretty much. My mom is a worthless piece of garbage who has no job and I survive only because of welfare essencially.
Y'know, they're right when they say you should never discuss religion or politics. You always end up here, firmly believing in what you say and convinced your opponent is wrong.

Recap: Thunder at Hornets
The Thunder beat the New Orleans Hornets 110-95 on Friday night. Here's a recap of Darnell Mayberry and John Rohde's coverage of the game.
6:53 p.m. Thunder guard Kevin Martin has received a flopping warning. He becomes the third NBA player to receive a warning and the first on OKC's team
6:55 p.m. The violation occurred with 10:16 remaining in the Thunder's Nov. 12 win at Detroit. Martin flopped as he attempted a 3-point field goal.
6:58 p.m. Video of Kevin Martin's flopping violation...RT @J5Hines @DarnellMayberry here is the video clip: RT @outsidethenba: on.nba.com/Xj1mqW
7:27 p.m. So it looks like the plan is to sit KD at about the 3 1/2 minute mark of the 1st Q. Let's see if he starts the second or returns sooner.
7:28 p.m. @MartzMimic @MikeSherman Or the journalistic version of a journalist mailing it in. :)
7:32 p.m. After taking just four shots Wednesday night, it's taken Kevin Martin all of five minutes to get up four tonight. And he's made three of 'em
7:34 p.m. After one, the Thunder leads the Hornets 36-18. Kevin Martin leads all scorers with 11 points. Hornets shooting 34.8 percent.
7:36 p.m. Yup, Durant starts the second quarter. There's the adjustment by Brooks.
7:37 p.m. OKC doubling up on NO (36-18). First quarter also went well for #thunder against Memphis (30-20) before bottom fell out.
7:38 p.m. Fresh points of emphasis for #thunder can not be ignored -- resting KD earlier; getting KMart more involved; energy from the outset.
7:40 p.m. Westbrook 1 for 5 and #thunder still shooting 66.7 percent from field (14 for 21).
7:40 p.m. Kevin Martin finally got away with a travel in a Thunder uniform. Unofficially, it took him 10 games.
7:44 p.m. @yourbuddyTiller Yes. He's missed three. He's 49-for-52 this season.
7:45 p.m. Plus/minus was negative for every #thunder player vs. Memphis. So far tonight, it's positive for everybody.
7:46 p.m. Durant has 9 points, six rebounds and four assists with 8 1/2 minutes left in the second quarter. Could tonight be his first triple-double?
7:48 p.m. Notice the more pressure Martin feels on the perimeter, the more he moves back. Martin might start driving soon. #thunder
7:51 p.m. I just got drilled by a Honeybee (Hornets dancer) throwing a Powerball into the crowd.
7:55 p.m. Got a feeling Serge Ibaka's final block numbers will well short of his actual rejections tonight. He's getting stiffed by the stat crew.
7:57 p.m. Kevin Martin's season high is 28 points. He's got 22 with 2:59 left in the second quarter tonight.
7:58 p.m. Former Hornets forward P.J. Brown is in the house tonight.
7:58 p.m. @miladabbassi @johnhollinger J.J. Barea (naturally) and Cavs guard Donald Sloan.
8:01 p.m. KMart's career high was 50 in against GS in 2009. It took him 46 min. that night. He has 22 pts in 14 min. tonight. #thunder
8:01 p.m. If you want to see a head-kicking...#LeaguePassAlert
8:04 p.m. About three fights just broke out just before halftime. Westbrook and Vasquez got hit with double technical fouls.
8:05 p.m. Kevin Durant & Hornets coach Monty Williams strangely began jawing. Hornets forward Darius Miller then jumper into the back and forth.
8:05 p.m. And tonight, I'll be sure to run back to the hallway! :)
8:10 p.m. Memphis loss wasn't a wake-up call for #thunder, it was a reality check. Humbling experience. Tonight has been OKC's response.
8:13 p.m. Sitting in the press room & hear "We gotta fight." Turns out, it's Doug Collins in the huddle on TV, not security on walkie talkies. LOL
8:13 p.m. Halftime arguments likely mean NO will play chippy in the second half, which will slow game down to a crawl. #thunder
8:15 p.m. ... And a slower pace will benefit #thunder tremendously, especially at the FT line and already up 29.
8:18 p.m. @_PatrickShannon Further proof that quality teams in West aren't about to roll over for the defending champs.
8:21 p.m. @_PatrickShannon Four-team race for top West seed with #thunder, SAS, LAC and MEM (and possibly LAL).
8:23 p.m. Russell Westbrook and Greivis Vasquez are STILL going at it pretty hard. One more hard foul and somebody's gonna lose it.
8:25 p.m. @DarnellMayberry Frustration by Greivis, or Russ being Russ?
8:28 p.m. @RohdeOK At this point, Russ being Russ. Trying to punk him.
8:35 p.m. Not sure what Vasquez did to Westbrook, but he won't let it go. Durant now trying to get Westbrook to just play ball.
8:35 p.m. What's prettier -- Westbrook's mid-range jumper, or Westbrook making the extra pass? 12 assists and 9 shots tonight. #thunder
8:37 p.m. In other, more significant news, Kevin Durant has 27 points on 10 shots.
8:39 p.m. The #Thunder look like a better road team so far this year than home. Much more focused away from Chesapeake
8:43 p.m. Westbrook having one of those nights where he's in a zone, for better or worse, & his teammates can't tell if he's with them or against them
8:44 p.m. With Martin as hot as he is, #thunder starters should sit the entire fourth quarter. Second team needs work.
8:45 p.m. At the end of three, the Thunder leads the Hornets 94-67.
8:48 p.m. @DarnellMayberry Thanks in large part to Westbrook's 12 assists and only 9 shots. Hand-in-hand.
8:49 p.m. Brooks must have read my last tweet. #yourewelcome
8:51 p.m. Hasheem Thabeet just randomly tried to karate chop Jason Smith. Ref never saw it.
8:54 p.m. Now Thabeet body checks Smith and knocks him down as the two were going up the court...Westbrook must have rubbed off on him tonight. Lol
9:00 p.m. Yo, @DarnellMayberry. Still awake? You're missing an ugly game of 5-on-3 right now. #thunder second unit has a long way to go.
9:02 p.m. Led by Russell Westbrook's 12 assists, the Thunder has dished a season-best 28 assists tonight.
9:06 p.m. This will be the fourth game this season that Russell Westbrook has had at least 10 assists. He'll be averaging 8.5 assists after tonight.
9:08 p.m. Westbrook had just four games of at least 10 assists in the regular season last year, six if you include the playoffs.
9:14 p.m. Important point. RT @jacobkniffen @DarnellMayberry ...part of that is him, part is Ibaka's progression. He's money from 18 ft...
9:15 p.m. In a 20-point game, PJIII is a minus-9 in plus-minus.
9:15 p.m. Check that last RT. Westbrook's assists numbers don't necessarily show his growth. Ibaka is turning into the threat Nenad Krstic used to be.
9:17 p.m. In 2010-11, for example, Westbrook had 28 games of 10 assists or more.
9:17 p.m. Final score: Thunder 110, Hornets 95.

Not sure I understand your post. Do you have a tag yet?
Hey guys, I'm planning a pack in trip to PROBABLY one of these 3 units. I have 3 pref points for elk and plan on muzzleloading. I normally rifle hunt 12/23/24 in CO but for muzzleloader I'd need 10 pts. Looking for ANY info anyone could give to where to start scouting.
Not sure I understand your post. Do you have a tag yet?
No tag yet. The hunt planners said these 3 units are either 2 or 1 pp required for a muzzie tag. I have 3 so I would expect to draw. I just don't have a clue where to start/which unit to put in for. My main concern is 1)where to start 2) number of hunters 3) elk numbers and 4) big enough to out walk others.
So your looking at 2013....looks like you have a little time to do some scouting.

Yea I'm just looking for some starting points I guess. Don't know these ares and being 12+ hrs away makes it tough to scout.
Well, I think I am going to put in for CO unit 54. By the topo and google earth, it looks rough. It sounds like the Rainbow Lake area gets pounded pretty hard so I'm trying to steer clear of that area. Any other areas anyone knows about that would be good starting areas? Slight chance of coming out this Sept to get a feel for the ground but for sure coming out July/august 2013 to scout ground
I can help U a little. Never hunted rainbow lake area. For reasons U mentioned. Co road 723 and 721. Are good starting points. Theres elk in there. Its pretty country and steep. U mite want to contact eagle mt outfitters. Thay will pack Ur meat out. Thats if U are in 721 area. Farrows will rent U horses to. If U need.
And I am not sure Ur 3 points will be enough??????
Well, according to the hunt planning team it requires 1 or 2 pts. So I'm crossing my fingers. I'll probably do a 2nd choice of unit 500 and if happen to get drawn for that, deal with it the best I can. Both are new unit for me but want to muzzie hunt at least once. Thanks for the info on pack animals. Good to know if I get in a bind.
Ha after reading some other posts, didn't mean to try and steal any hunting spots by asking where to hunt. Just wanted to know some roads because through my years hunting CO units 23 and 24, by google earth and other maps, it shows "roads" but once we got out there it was more of a slight path and with any rain or significant snow, it was pretty hairy. Just didn't want to scout an area by Internet and plan on driving in to cut distance so far and get out there and not be able to drive it with a normal size four wheel drive truck.

While Hurricane Sandy did not deliver a direct hit along the Eastern North Carolina coast, some roadways are still closed as crews continue to sort through the mess the storm left behind.
Dare County officials said Tuesday morning that Highway 12 on Hatteras Island remains closed after ocean overwash.
The 158 Bypass in Kitty Hawk is closed near Milepost 4. Officials said all traffic is being rerouted through neighborhoods that are west of the highway. On Monday, one section of Highway 158 was flooded over. Emergency crews said at one point ,water levels rose to two feet along the highway.
In addition, patches of Highway 12, Beach Road, in the northern beach towns remains closed.
Ferry Service from Hatteras to Ocracoke continues to be suspended. State officials said it will resume once conditions are deemed safe.
Dare County offices will be closed Tuesday.
In Kitty Hawk on the Outer Banks Monday a section of Highway 158 was almost completely flooded over.
Dare County Emergency Management told us at its height, flood waters reached two feet on the highway.
Jason Dawson says he travels on Highway 158 every single day, and can't believe Sandy impacted the community this much without directly passing through it.
The next update on flooding conditions in Dare County is expected at 9:30 Tuesday morning.

Hi all,
I'm using zimbra with persona, and I send lots of mail with the identity of persona. But, since I updated
the last release (7.2 OSS) I see in return-path the email address of default account, and not the mail address of persona,
even if I have set 'zimbraSmtpRestrictEnvelopeFrom', for account and for COS, to FALSE.
Is there anyone that experiences the same problem?
Thanks in advance

Grey's Anatomy
The first time we met Grey's Anatomy's core couple, they weren't in scrubs, and they definitely weren't talking medicine. In fact, they weren't even clothed! If we had to guess, these docs probably spend as much time getting it on in the on-call room as they do actually saving lives.
Yes, we're looking at you, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers).
So in honor of all the sex that has been had within the halls of Seattle Grace -- among interns, attendings, patients, ghosts and more -- we've rounded up 10 of the most memorable Grey's sex scenes that we will never forget -- good or bad.
Take a look at the sexy gallery below and tell us what you think! Which Grey's sex scene will you never forget?
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, January 17, 2013, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

I'm new to Zimbra and have a few questions. Basically I already have a postfix / dovecot / cyrus based mail system built which has been working for the last few years but I want to throw in a web based layer with calendar / tasks functionality. Appears Zimbra is the choice but I want to customize the front end to suite my enterprise environment.
So which of the following is more difficult?
1) Install Zimbra and just use it's core functions but completely re-design / write the web front end? Or write the web interface from the ground up?
2) Write the web front end from scratch building on my existing setup, adding in calendar / task / contact, etc.
I guess it depends whether Zimbra has everything exposed via SOAP API and I can just use Java to call?
Also, is the source that is available the full network edition or only contain the feature in the open source edition? This is important because I'm using Outlook at the moment and if the code is only the open source edition this means it won't work with Outlook.

Rider Beware
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Split right down the center of the tread after roughly 500k of road-only riding. Out on a morning ride and--BOOM! Luckily it was on the way UP the climb... Lemon? Maybe. But I recommend avoiding these like the plague.
Not bad if they are on sale
I was able to snag these on sale and they were a decent tire, wear was ok and I didn't get any cuts in the tread. Not as sticky as other tires in the corners and the wear was respectable. They are worth it if you can snag a discount but don't compare to the other 60-80$ tire options (Michelin or Vittoria are my preference)
I am guessing the other reviewer may have had a freak, manufacture error on his
After 200 miles and one winter hanging in the garage the center tread is seperating from the sidewalls (which are dry rotting). After dry rot issues with Hutchinson and Michelin tires I'm beginning to believe there's a French conspiracy going on here. My Vittoria CX's with 2,000 miles show none of this degredation

Are these road tubeless compatible? Ie can they run with no inner tubes on the proper rims?

|Chris Lee joins Enterprise staff
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Born and raised in Nebraska, then educated in Missouri, Chris Lee now calls Colorado home as he joined The Holyoke Enterprise staff as a reporter this week.
Known by many as C Lee, rather than Chris, Lee comes to Holyoke from Salisbury, Mo., where he served as sports editor of the Chariton Valley News Press since graduating from Northwest Missouri State University (NWMSU) in December of 2008.
Lee was very involved in newspaper and yearbook publications at NWMSU, in Maryville, Mo., where he earned a B.S. degree in journalism.
Even at the high school level, at Chase County High School in Imperial, Neb., Lee was a member of the yearbook and newspaper staffs, serving as co-editor of the newspaper his senior year in 2003-04.
At NWMSU, Lee started as photographer for Tower Yearbook and was editor-in-chief his junior year. He was active on the Northwest Missourian, the school newspaper, serving as community news editor his senior year. Additionally, he was an assistant for the university photographer.
His success is evident in awards received, including first place in yearbook sports photography from Missouri College Media Association in 2007; Tower Yearbook Photographer of the Year, 2007-08; and NWMSU Student Publications Honor Roll of Service, 2007-08.
Lee was a SOAR leader, working as part of an 11-member team for three summers with NWMSU's summer orientation program. In 2008, he helped organize and coordinate much of the program, and was named SOAR Leader of the Year. He was also a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, where he held two officer positions: historian and awards chairman.
As community news editor of Northwest Missourian, Lee covered all community news for the campus newspaper, including county, city and breaking news.
At Chariton Valley News Press from January through May, Lee's sports editor role found him covering sporting events for five area high schools and overseeing two staff reporters, as well.
Throughout his college years, Lee said he had no intention of returning to his home area right away. But he heard of the opportunity at The Holyoke Enterprise and it just seemed right.
In high school, Lee competed for four years on golf and cross country teams and for one year on the basketball team. He was a four-year FFA member, as well.
He is starting up a photography business on his own, and so far has taken photos for two weddings and four couples' engagements.
Besides photography, Lee's interests include hunting, fishing and golfing, and he also said he enjoys playing cards with friends.
Lee's parents reside in Imperial, where his dad, Gary, is water specialist for NRCS and his mom, Carolyn, is a reporter for The Imperial Republican and also works at McNair Insurance Agency. His brother Brian will be a senior at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyo.
A reporting position at the Enterprise opened when News Editor April Peregoy announced she would be leaving, as her husband Drew has taken a teaching position near Riverton, Wyo.
Enterprise Publisher Brenda Brandt has appreciated Peregoy's solid and thorough reporting in the two years she's been on staff, and is sorry to see the couple leaving the community.
Brandt is pleased to welcome Lee to the staff and feels his experience in the field and background will be very positive for the local newspaper and the community.
Lee and Peregoy's Enterprise employment will overlap for several weeks as Peregoy introduces Lee to various news beats in the community.
