Just about bullet proof in weather, only hole I have ever had was caused by a buddies hiking pole as he walked by the tarp. I fixed that hole in seconds to boot. I love their gear.

Editor, News-Register
Many years ago in my early schooling, I learned about guys like Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. They were elected to Congress, served their terms, and went back to private life with little fanfare. They were referred to as "citizen-statesmen" because that's what they were: average citizens who served their patriotic duty to help lead this country. They then went back to farms, shops, factories, or whatever they did before going into Congress.
Around the middle of the 20th Century, politicians in Congress realized they could give themselves raises and make it financially worth their effort to stay in Congress. They started bringing taxpayer money back to their districts in the form of government funding in order to gain the approval of the average voter and get sent back to Congress. This was the beginning of the "career politician" and led to people like Strom Thurmond, Robert Byrd, Harry Reid, John Boehner, John McCain, and many of the other names so prominently mentioned in the nightly news.
Since then, these politicians have traded tax breaks for campaign money (lobbyists), added "earmarks" to major and minor legislation to send taxpayer money back to their districts or states, raised their own pay on an annual basis, passed laws exempting themselves from having to obey them, raided the Social Security fund for pet projects while voting in their own retirement system without contributing one penny of their own money to it. These politicians (even if they fail to be reelected after six years in office) will earn their highest annual pay for life as retirement income. Upon their deaths, this pay continues to go to their spouses for life. Now we read that Congress has voted to exempt family members and family members of their staff from having to repay college loans.
Congress is beginning to resemble the former Soviet Union's Politburo, in which the political elite made all the decisions with little or no regard for the interests of the average citizen.
It's time for a constitutional amendment requiring Congress to abide by the laws they enact. It's time for the American people to take America back from self-serving individuals.

Owners of Israeli sex sites report high percentage of entries from Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The hit: Clips starring female soldiers and Mossad women
Adar Shalev
Published: 08.22.07, 11:33 / Israel Culture
Adar Shalev
Nir Shahar, who manages the Israeli porn website, 'Ratuv' (wet), said that his company produced porn movies that have typical Israeli themes featuring female soldiers, female Mossad agents and policewomen.
It turns out there is a high demand for such content even in countries that are defined as "enemy sates." The most popular video clip among Arabs, "Code name: Deep investigation," is described as "a parody dealing with the Vanunu affair with agents investigating the affair using erotic means."
In the past several months we see an increase in traffic from countries that have no diplomatic ties with Israel
including Iran,
Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Egypt," Shahar said.
Looking at photos
"We get hundreds of hits from surfers that live in countries where porn is prohibited," said Gil Naftali owner and operator of another Hebrew sex site, SexV. "We don't have an Arabic version because users log in to watch photos and video clips that require no explanations."
According to site statistics, last month there were over 2,000 hits from Riad, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The average time a Saudi surfer spends on SexV is 17:23 minutes.
Data also shows that 10 percent of the visitors to the most popular sex site in Israel, Domina, are Arabic speakers. "That is because we offer content in their language," said Tzahi who operates the site.
Nothing seems to stop the porn-consuming Saudi, not even technical difficulties: "In many places Israel is blocked, at times the entire suffix ".co.il" is blocked. Users connect through proxy servers and reach us that way," he said.
The motive behind these initiatives is purely economical, and by means the desire to connect people through the international language of porn.

text: My dad and I are looking to put a hunt together for the fall of 2014 for mulies. We went on an antelope hunt two falls ago and got the western hunting bug right now. Being from flat land corn country Minnesota we are wet behind the ears to say the least. We have just been buying points the last few seasons so we will be going into next years draw with 2 each. Just some basic questions I have to maybe guide us in the right direction. The thought I have as far as applying for our first tag is to apply for a limited unit that has draw odds around where we are with points and with second choice do a general season. Does that make sense or am I way off? Thought was if we didn't get first choice limited we keep our points and if we do a general season we have more area to familiarize ourselves with western hunting. Or would we be better off focusing on a limited quota unit that we would almost be a guarantee for and focusing all efforts on that area. I'm hesitant to do that just because we have no idea where to start and how land access will be. Any pointers are appreciated. A lot of great info on here already so thanks for the help!

Phase 2:
In phase 2 I was working from the 3D render. Though maybe more complex than what I wanted I at least had an idea of what this thing was.
Using the 3d program I made slices of the model at various levels, then drew on top of them very roughly. Normally I think I would have used Illustrator to make very clean levels, but since the client wanted a sketch look I did most of the work by hand.
I did use Illustrator to set up the undercity. The Undercity was built before all of the new construction on top. I wanted a different look for it. So while everything above ground is square and haphazardly place things below ground, though in ruins is all built around a central core and radiates from it.

We have a new client workstation. When the user tries to open the Zimbra web client in Firefox 3.5.1, the entire Firefox process freezes and has to be terminated using Task Manager. This happens every time...
When the user tries to visit the site, they are redirected to the SSL site, the certificate warning pops up (with no option to import, save, ignore, you can only view the cert or close). If you click view or close, the entire Firefox process hangs.
I exported our Zimbra's CA certificate and imported it into Firefox. Now the warning doesn't appear, the Firefox process just hangs.

Originally die protection was developed just to prevent damage to the tool and die during the operation of a stamping press. As sensor and controls technology knowledge has evolved and stampers knowledge of it has expanded, die protection technology has been expanded into other applications, such as increasing production rates and to perform quality assurance.

At least one stamper is reducing the cost of medical devices by converting machined parts to stamped or stamped/machined parts. Not only is the manufacturer using this innovative approach to reduce cost without sacrificing quality and still meet stringent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards, it sometimes stamps features into the medical devices that could not be made by machining them and tightens tolerances.

"It seems that many of those on Capitol Hill who feel the rich should "pay their fair share" aren''t interested in paying their own "fair share." It turns out that 638 Capitol Hill staffers owe the IRS $9.3 million in back taxes, and Federal employees across the board owe $1 billion.
In fact, 41 of President Barack Obama's White House aides owe the IRS $831,000 in back taxes. Wonder how many of them have a Lone Star Card or the equivalent? Buying baby eggplant with their SNAP cards?
So next time you hear Obama telling you that you need to pay your "fair share," ask him when members of his staff—and other Federal employees—are going to pay theirs."

This interdisciplinary volume examines the health, well-being, school readiness, and academic achievement of children in Black immigrant families (most with parents from Africa and the Caribbean)—a population that has had little academic attention even as it represents an increasing share of the U.S. Black child population.
Using a nationally representative U.S. birth-cohort study, this report examines levels of school readiness among young children by race/ethnicity and nativity. The authors identify the contextual factors — such as family circumstances, parenting practices, and enrollment in center-based child care — that encourage early school success.
This report draws on a six-year longitudinal study of Palm Beach County, FL, examining parenting, child care enrollment, and other factors that encourage early school success. The authors find kindergarten-age children of Black immigrants have significantly higher odds of being ready for school than children of Latina immigrant or Black U.S.-born mothers.

Panama Canal may compete with rail rival
February 17, 2011
Before shippers make too many long-range plans for the Panama Canal expansion, they may wish to consider the threat posed by an alternative "dry canal."
According to a recent report in The Financial Times, China is in negotiations over the construction of a 137-mile rail link across Colombia that represents a competitive route. When completed, Chinese exporters could ship finished goods into Latin America while sourcing raw materials for outbound vessel deployment.
The news hardly surprised China analyst Rosemary Coates, who told SCMR that the Chinese have been heavily investing in minerals and mining in the area for several years now.
"The Chinese have also built significant infrastructure—schools, roads, electrical—in exchange for mineral rights," she said.
Colombia is the world's fifth largest coal producer, shipping most of its exports through the Atlantic ports despite faster growing demand across the Pacific.
According to The Times, China and Colombia are negotiating over other transport projects, including the construction of a 495-mile railway and expansion of the Pacific port of Buenaventura at a cost of $7.6 billion.
"Obviously this drives the need for economical transportation and logistics where the cost to move such commodities can be up to 50 percent of the product value," said Coates. "It appears from the article that the purpose of this railway is to move commodities but also for commercial/public freight transportation, which would make this type of investment a double home run."
Coates, the author of "42 Rules for Sourcing and Manufacturing in China," noted that China is making similar capital investments in logistical projects in Africa.

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
Story by Taylor Weik.
It's in the very first chapter that the title is mentioned. Near a country club built for the wealthy British in the locality of Tollygunge, India, there dwell two ponds side by side, separated by a lowland. Sometimes, when monsoons strike, the ponds rise in level so that they appear as one body.
In just a few short paragraphs, Jhumpa Lahiri uses her sharp observations of the plains of India to lay out her plot and describe the relationship between two of her characters, even before she's introduced them.
In her long-awaited second novel, Lahiri — winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Interpreter of Maladies, a collection of short stories — decides to take a more political route without straying from her signature lyrical style. Like her other works, The Lowland is a family saga that starts with the perspective of one and then jumps from family member to family member as they live out their lives.
The story focuses on two brothers, Subhash and Udayan Mitra, who grow up in 1960s Calcutta during the Communist Movement that has found its way to West Bengal. Though the brothers are exceptionally close and are often seen by their own parents as one person, the impulsive Udayan gets swept up in the Naxalite cause, a militant Maoist group, while the more reserved Subhash buries himself in his studies and leaves India for the quiet countryside of Rhode Island. However, it is Subhash who must later return to India to pick up the fragments of devastation that Udayan has left in his wake, actions that have altered his family in inexplicable ways.
The eight-part, 340-page novel is not as light as Lahiri's other works. Not only does it dive straight into the complexities of each character — of how Subhash, Udayan's wife Gauri and their mother each react to Udayan's death, all while documenting the life of Udayan and Gauri's daughter from the moment of her birth — but it also attempts to squeeze in decades worth of historical information regarding the Maoist movement in India. It's a lot to take in when reading, especially when the point of view can change in an instant from Subhash's ignorance of the violence in India to Gauri's ultimate knowledge as Udayan's confidant.
Though Lahiri sets the book in a little-known time in history, she still manages to make her characters relatable. Gauri, who is arguably the most controversial character in the book, fails to be a strong, inspirational widow after her husband's death and thus illustrates that not everyone comes out of a tragedy in good health.
"That's the enormous power of literature, that you can write out of such a specific place, and yet it's really about entering into other peoples' consciousness," Lahiri explained in an interview with The New Yorker. "We're less divided than we think we are. In the end, the stories become universal."
Though the first half is packed with political commentary, the second half of The Lowland is where Lahiri's incredible attention to the details of her characters' lives comes in, and it's where the reader can fully immerse herself in the fluid storytelling Lahiri is known for. The novel is a departure from Lahiri's other works, to be sure, but it's still one that continues to explore not just Indian American life but the human experience itself. Details Hardcover, $27.95, randomhouse.com.

Less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services provider YRC Worldwide Inc. said earlier today that it expects to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and positive operating income for its Regional Transportation unit for the second quarter of this year.
If this were to occur, it would be welcome news for the carrier, whom has incurred losses of more than $2 billion over the past 11 quarters. YRCW added that it also expects working capital expenditures, cash interest, advisor fees and other payments to produce a net cash usage from operating activities.
YRCW also announced it has amended its asset-backed securitization (ABS) facility as part of an effort to reduce the impact of negative effects that the 2009 integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway has had on the ability of the company to borrow under the facility. With this amendment, YRCW said it will now be able to borrow additional amounts under the facility for the rest of this quarter. The previous amount it was able to borrow under the old ABS was $22 million, and an updated figure was not made available by the company.
"We continue to see positive developments in our business as our June volume trends are exceeding our May volume trends," said YRCW Chairman, President and CEO Bill Zollars in a statement. "The incremental liquidity from the ABS amendment helps to support our working capital needs as we grow our revenues. With the operating momentum we are experiencing, we are confident in our ability to generate positive adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2010."
Like many other LTL players, YRCW appears to be benefiting from the economic revival occurring in the LTL industry, according to Satish Jindel, president of Pittsburgh-based SJ Consulting. Almost all LTL carriers, according to Jindel, are experiencing high single/low double digit gains, adding that it is good to see YRCW get a share of that.
"The thing that is cautionary for me is that…YRCW needs to grow at a faster rate than other LTL carriers just because the company has lost a lot of business in the last several months and needs to regain that," said Jindel. "And because they are still in difficult financial condition—but not as bad as 2009—they need to strengthen their operating business and the outlook for the second half of 2010 in our view may or may not be as good as the first half."
Reasons for this cited by Jindel include how some sectors that contributed to first half tonnage growth may not be as active in the second half, as well as consumers tightening spending again, which could mean that the economic recovery may ultimately lack momentum throughout the rest of the year.
With a need to fund working capital for business growth, YRC said the expected net cash usage from operating activities creates liquidity pressure for the company. And it added that along with the liquidity that the ABS facility amendment provides, YRCW is taking steps to address its short-term liquidity needs through various measures, including:
-implementing further cost actions and efficiency improvements;
-seeking additional and return business from customers;
-engaging in discussions with the company's lending group under its credit agreement;
-pursuing the sale of non-strategic assets or business lines;
-actively managing receipts and disbursements, including amounts and timing, focusing on reducing day's sales outstanding and managing day's payables outstanding;
-pursuing the company's litigation against the trustee under the indenture related to the company's 5% contingent convertible notes; if the company is successful in its litigation and meets the closing conditions under a note purchase agreement to sell and issue additional 6% convertible notes, the company can utilize the remaining $20.2 million of proceeds held in an escrow for general corporate purposes; and
-considering the sale of additional equity or pursuing other capital market transactions.

|Options considered for GOCO grant
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
With the deadline for the next Great Outdoors Colorado grant less than two months away, Holyoke City Council members continued to discuss ways in which to increase the likelihood of receiving the grant during their Tuesday, July 2 meeting.
At the June 18 council meeting, the construction of three soccer fields in Holyoke was discussed at length as a means to promote activity, which would improve the chances of being awarded a GOCO grant. Although it is still an option, a few concerns were voiced by council members about going forward with the new soccer fields.
Holyoke City Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Olofson noted that while attending a GOCO grant writing session in Yuma, she was told by a GOCO representative that the city should not add the soccer fields to the plans just to make their application more appealing.
Olofson said the representative did not specifically say not to build the fields but encouraged her to make sure the fields are something the city really wants before applying for the grant.
Olofson relayed to council members that the GOCO representative also said she believed that competing for grant money with other entities within the same county hurts the city's chances of receiving the grant.
Initially, the outfield of the small baseball field on the east side of town was considered as a location for the soccer fields. Upon measuring the area, either two of the proposed smaller fields could fit or just the larger field, but not all three. Having the three fields at separate locations around town would not be ideal either.
The city-owned land southeast of the baseball fields was also discussed as a possible location for soccer fields. The problem with the land is that it would require a good deal of work and maintenance to make it suitable for soccer.
Council members decided that a survey would be created and distributed to the people of Holyoke asking them what action they would like to see taken in regards to a possible soccer field.
The possibility of hiring a grant writer to help secure a GOCO grant was also discussed. Council members seemed to be in agreement that spending between $1,500-$2,000 was a small price to pay if it means acquiring the funds to complete projects at the baseball complex.
Citizens concerned about weeds
Joe Kinnie and Jay Dean Krueger were on hand at last week's meeting to bring attention to the growth of weeds behind Frenchman Heights.
Kinnie expressed his concern that if lightning were to strike the field of weeds, a fire could rapidly spread to the houses nearby. Kinnie and Krueger both stated they would like to see the city maintain the weeds as they hold the lease to the land.
If a fire was to occur in the area, Kinnie noted that it would be especially disastrous as there is limited accessibility behind the houses to the three fire hydrants, one of which is blocked by shrubbery.
"It's just a potential fire hazard and it makes me very uneasy to think what would happen," Kinnie said. "I just feel as a citizen of this community, we need to have someone step up to the plate and do something about this."
The next morning, Wednesday, July 3, the city mowed the area and established an access point off of Sunflower Drive through Ag Power's property to reach the utility easement behind the homes in Frenchman Heights.
Lodging tax discussed
A lodging tax was considered by the city council to include on the upcoming November ballot.
Phillips County economic development director Julie Worley attended the meeting to introduce herself to the council members as well as to relay some of the goals she has while she works in the area. Holyoke Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Scott praised Worley, saying that "in the last six months, I have seen her do more in the position than in the last two years."
While at the meeting, Worley expressed her support for the lodging tax as it generates more money for the city from those who pass through. Worley stated that La Junta, which is roughly twice the size of Holyoke, generates about $40,000 a year through the lodging tax.
"This is a great way to get some revenue coming in," said Worley.
The council will continue the discussion on the lodging tax at the July 16 meeting to determine if the tax should be utilized and at what percentage the tax should be set.
City officials report
Holyoke Police Chief Doug Bergstrom reported that from June 13-26, the department generated 61 calls for service, made one arrest, gave out three citations, wrote five reports and gave out 11 warnings.
City Superintendent Mark Brown reported that there has been three recent power outages. Two of the outages were on June 23 and one on July 1. Two of the outages were caused by squirrels while the other one was caused by a faulty pole.
Other business
In other business July 2, the council:
—appointed Helen Murray and Erica Ayoub to three-year terms on the Board of Variance Adjustment.
—appointed Richard Brown to another five-year term on the Housing Authority Board.
—approved request from Holyoke School District to waive labor costs for the underground power line for the new track project.

Cheerleading is a Sport and Just as Much a Workout as Football
The impending autumn means one thing and one thing only for many people – the kickoff of football season. Millions will sit on bleachers and couches to watch the football players play their sport, cheering on their athleticism and strength.
But what about the dedicated athletes on the sidelines? Few people recognize it, and it's been a point of contention for years, but the cheerleaders supporting the team are working just as hard as the players on the field.
"Football has historically been viewed as a very 'manly sport,'" remarked our guest editor Dempsey Marks, a fitness expert and yoga trainer who founded DepmseyFit.com, about what separates football and cheerleading in people's minds. "The sport itself is associated with toughness, pain, and even violence. And primarily football is played by men. [The sport] glorifies aggressive behavior, which society associates with men and masculinity."
"Cheerleading has evolved from simple movements and cheers to a highly athletic undertaking, which requires strength, coordination, agility, and skill," she added.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Patrice Bergeron's redirection with 4:41
remaining in double overtime sent the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 victory over the
Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals from TD Garden.
Jaromir Jagr won a battle along the left-wing boards in the neutral zone
against Evgeni Malkin and fed ahead to Brad Marchand, who waited until
Bergeron had a step on Pens defenseman Brooks Orpik before dishing across for
the game-winning tip.
David Krejci scored early in regulation for the Bruins, who now hold a
commanding 3-0 series edge and can advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the
second time in three seasons with a win in Game 4 on home ice Friday.
Tuukka Rask was solid once again, stopping a playoff-high 53 shots for the
Chris Kunitz tallied in the second period and Tomas Vokoun made 38 saves for
the Penguins, who are one loss away from being dumped from the postseason by
the Bruins for the first time since 1980.

Bannen is perhaps more familiar to American viewers for his extensive television work, both for American and British networks (airing primarily on PBS in the USA). After playing McDuff in an NBC version of "Macbeth" (1960), he later had the romantic leads in remakes of "Johnny Belinda" (ABC, 1967, opposite Mia Farrow) and "Jane Eyre" (NBC, 1971, with Susannah York). Well-cast as Amos in the Franco Zeffirelli's 1971 NBC miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth", the actor fully demonstrated his versatility undertaking a portrayal of Adolph Hitler in "The Gathering Storm", a 1974 NBC entry of "Hallmark Hall of Fame". For the BBC, Bannen acted in the highly acclaimed "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" (1979),... Continue Bio >>

Kaleidescape Helps Home Owner Wade Through 1200 Disc Collection
A Crestron control system and Runco projector help user enjoy his massive movie hoard.
With the advent of video streaming, many people have packed away their DVD collections for good, pulling movies instead from online services like Netflix and Hulu. Not the owner of this fully automated home. He's an avid DVD collector, and he uses the somewhat outdated media as his main source of entertainment content.
Already topping out at somewhere near 1,200 discs, his collection is far from complete. "I'd say we buy 70 percent of the new movies that come out," he says. He and his wife aren't picky about what they watch, either. "We have everything from early Cary Grant and John Wayne movies to the latest Harry Potter releases. We have every decade covered."
Digital Storage = Tidy Theater
At this rate, you'd expect the shelves of his media room to be jammed with an unruly assortment of DVD cases. But this recently built home theater couldn't be tidier. Not a single DVD is in sight. That's because they have been stored digitally on a Kaleidescape media server ($26,995). It reads the disc, places it in the correct category- action, comedy or drama- and stores it digitally on a 24-terabyte hard drive system.
To retrieve the stored content, they use a Wi-Fi enabled, 8-inch Crestron touchpanel (around $2,000), with a menu designed and programmed by the custom electronics (CE) pros at Home Entertainment Expo in Sudbury, Mass. The device, which communicates with a central Crestron microprocessor, also operates the home theater's Runco video projector, Anthem processor, as well as the lights, thermostats, security cameras and other electronic devices throughout the 15,000-squarefoot residence.
Speakers Settle In
This level of control isn't something the owners envisioned when they started remodeling their 20-year-old home. "At first we were only interested in a good home security system and a media room," they relate. "Once you start designing an entertainment system, though, the rest becomes incestuous. You start thinking about other places you'd like to watch movies, how you'd like to control the equipment, rolling in music. And soon the project takes on a life of its own." That new life includes flat-panel TVs in the master bedroom, family room, fitness room and three spare bedrooms, plus a 16-zone Crestron whole-house audio system. Home Entertainment Expo outfitted some TVs with Kaleidescape players (between $2,995 and $4,495 each) so that any movie stored in the main server can be accessed and viewed in these areas. Other TVs are equipped with their own local Sony
Blu-ray or Integra DVD players.
No viewing area is complete without speakers, so Home Entertainment Expo complemented each flat-panel TV with at least a pair of built-in Paradigm speakers. Some rooms, like the family room, received a full 5.1-channel surround-sound system. The theater got seven speakers plus a subwoofer. Again, one thing led to another, and the crew at Home Entertainment Expo was soon installing round, low-profile Paradigm speakers into the ceiling of the kitchen, rooftop deck, rotunda and other areas. Every speaker is tied to a Crestron whole-house audio system so that in addition to video, music can be spread
throughout the house.
Remarkably, the biggest portion of the audio budget was spent on the backyard. A dozen StereoStone rock speakers were placed strategically so that no area would lack tunes. This went for the swimming pool as well. As the pool was constructed, Home Entertainment Expo installed four Lubell Labs underwater speakers (about $1,500 each plus $600 for an amplifier) into the fiberglass shell. "They're the same type of underwater speakers that are used in Olympic pools," says the owner. "They were expensive, but because I swim laps for exercise, it was important to me that they sound great. There's a big difference in quality between mediocre underwater speakers and great underwater speakers."
Stepping up Security
As long as the family would be using Crestron remotes, keypads, touchpanels, and a Crestron app on their iPads to access and control their whole-house systems, "we thought why not also integrate the control of our security system, lights and thermostats," the owner relates. After all, security was one of the main reasons the owners called Home Entertainment Expo in the first place.
When they bought the home two years ago, it already had a basic security system. "Because our grandkids would be spending a lot of time here, we decided it would be best to beef up the protection," the owner explains. That meant yanking out the antiquated system and replacing it with a Napco Gemini security system, then programming the Crestron system so that the alarms controlled by the Gemini could be armed and disarmed from any control device, like an iPhone, inside or out. The owners would also leverage the video capabilities of the Crestron system by tying in 11 Channel Vision surveillance cameras. Any camera with pan, tilt and zoom capabilities would be controllable via a Crestron touchpanel. Additionally, the owners would be able to view live and recorded video on the screen of any touchpanel or TV.
But the niftiest application of all? When a driveway sensor detects that a vehicle has entered the property, a zoomed security camera image of it instantly pops up on the screen of every TV, and an announcement- from an MP3 of the owner's voice- broadcasts through every speaker inside and outside the house. It's an effective heads-up for the owners and illustrates the power of security and audio/video systems working in harmony.
Night Lights for Protection
Lighting plays a big role in the protection of the home, too. Home Entertainment Expo replaced the existing light switches with dozens of intelligent dimmers and keypads from Lutron, and programmed them to react automatically to certain commands. By pressing the all on button on a keypad near their bed, for example, the owners can activate every light inside and out. "It's a great way to check out the backyard in the middle of the night," they say. If any area requires further investigation, the owners can tap the camera icon on a portable Crestron touchpanel to catch a glimpse of the hallways, kitchen and backyard. Each bedroom's Lutron keypad also has a kitchen path button that lights a safe pathway to the kitchen, and at an intensity that's easy on the eyes. Quest for Tech If a midnight snack doesn't satisfy this home's night owl, he can always make his way to the home theater, where his journey into high-tech living began. His cherished movie collection is there, albeit in a digital form. And with more than 1,000 flicks at his fingertips, he's bound to find one with a plot dull enough to put him to sleep.

I love these socks. I have a problem after 7 miles I start to feel the seams of those thin cool drying materials under my toes. These socks feel great and are thicker. My only complaint is the height of the sock. I would probably go with the micro crew next.

I recently discovered ANOTHER great resource for IBM Business Partners. The IBM "Ready To Execute" initiative, which was originally launched internally to improve the quality of our marketing campaigns and drive higher quality leads, has been extended to Business Partners. In a nutshell, Ready to Execute is a web-based model that provides the foundation and all the elements for launching an effective marketing campaign, including multi-touch e-mails, telemarketing scripts, digital strategies, and compelling offers.
As I began researching all the specifics of the program for our Business Partners, I stumbled upon a blog post from one of my colleagues in Software Group, Jacqi Levy, who has done a fabulous job of summarizing the benefits of the program, as well as providing a great overview on how Business Partners can get started on launching a campaign. Nicely done, Jacqi!
And those who want to jump right in and start executing can go directly to the Ready to Execute campaigns that are specific to the Midmarket !

Welcome to the Catholic National Library
The Catholic National Library has over 70,000 books, pamphlets and periodicals including theology, spirituality and related subjects, biography, history (including Catholic Family History), and many works not freely available elsewhere. The reading room contains the reference stock, current journals, and back numbers of the most frequently consulted journals. There is also a rare collection of Catholic fiction.
The Catholic National Library currently houses MISSION REGISTERS which list baptisms, confirmations, marriages, deaths etc. dating back as early as 1694. These are typescripts and a few other printed books on loan from the Catholic Family History Society. The Library also houses the Thomas Merton Collection.
The Trustees of the Catholic National Library announce that the Library will be closed until further notice from Friday 27th June 2014. From this date it will not be possible to reply to emails, postal enquiries or telephone calls. Books already on loan may be returned by post. As soon as a decision has been made about the future of the Library an announcement will be made and the Trustees will write to members.
Building the Collection
As members will know, the collection grows continuously both by purchase and donation. The annual spend is of the order of £3-5,000, depending on available funds, which translates into an average of about 30 new books a month. The Library's policy is to keep up-to-date with new and interesting publications in its field. For instance, the Library aims to stock all the best commentaries on scripture, obtaining latest editions wherever appropriate. Subject areas that are constantly updated include:
- Spirituality
- Theology
- Church History
- Ecumenism
- Interrelations between religions
- Philosophy
- Biographies
The coverage of the collection is also constantly being expanded, for instance recent additions include books on all the major religions. Over the years the Library has benefited from many donations of collections, some of very high quality. In a typical year we add about 1,000 good quality books from donated collections.
The opening hours of the Library are dependent on two things: the needs of visitors and the availability of volunteers to staff the Library. At the moment we have 4 volunteers and a growing number of visitors.
The Library has compiled a number of reading lists. The first lists were put together primarily for priests and religious as an aid to CONTINUING FORMATION. Click Continuing Formation for full information.
In June 2007 the Library changed its name from "Catholic Central Library" to "Catholic National Library". There were several reasons for this but the most important was to reflect more closely the Library's role as a national resource.
On-line Catalogue
Several years ago (in March 2000) we set about making the Library catalogue available on-line. Thanks to the huge amount of work by numerous volunteers we can say that the book catalogue is now available on-line. In the light of changes in technology and with the aim of making the catalogue sharable we are developing a plan to upgrade to a Library Information System with OPAC (members will be able to check their lending on-line). For a catalogue approaching 70,000 this will be a huge undertaking and will require a lot of support both financial and voluntary.

I had to laugh when I read this article on E-Week, entitled "Outages, bad updates hamper businesses."
Now I don't know about the rest of you, but if I saw my Zimbra server drop to 97% uptime I'd consider it seriously broken. I've had a Zimbra server up for the better part of a year, and total downtime (including the time I took it down to do upgrades) probably hasn't reached 24 hours yet. Take out the headaches I had on initial install/configuration and it's probably not more than 12 hours total.Quote:
Dana Gardner, founding analyst of InterArbor Solutions said most enterprises and SMBs (small and mid-sized businesses) deal with e-mail outages internally with some regularity, noting that the rates of uptime for these non-transactional apps can be as low as 97 percent and still be considered mission-critical. He told me:
So let's take a reality check on whether Web-based apps are or should be any better than behind-the-firewall apps such as e-mail that sometimes go down. That said, trust and value are essential for any migration to Web-based or cloud-provided apps. The bad news is that if Company XYZ has an e-mail outage, people go to the water cooler and chat about the Olympics and shrug it off. Few people outside the actual company know or care. But when Web mail such as Gmail goes down, it's for the world to see.(emphasis mine - DWM)
Seems to me the industry is setting the bar too low. . .

Florida-bred Hooh Why top bid at Matron Stakes
Published: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 5:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 5:13 p.m.
The venerable 7-year-old Hooh Why is the favorite in Saturday's $150,000 Arlington Matron Stakes at the race's Chicago-area namesake track.
Hooh Why finished second in the 2012 Matron and has had past success at Arlington Park.
The Florida-bred daughter of Cloud Hopping makes her 52nd career start in the Matron and is fresh off a win in the Distaff Turf Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs in April.
The 1 1/8-mile Matron is set for the track's synthetic surface and drew nine entries. Hooh Why is the 3-1 favorite.
At odds of 9-2, Lotta Lovin is the second choice. The 4-year-old daughter of Repent finished fifth in her last start in the Grade 3 Hilliard Lyons Doubledogdare Stakes at Keeneland in April. Before that, she won the Likely Exchange Stakes at Turfway Park in January.
Hooh Why was bred by the late Gail Gee at her Derby Daze farm in Ocala. The mare is owned by Mark Hoffman and Earl Trostrud Jr. has earned more than $1.2 million in her career. The Arlington Matron is scheduled for 5:08 p.m. and is race No. 7.
Also at Arlington Park on Saturday is the Grade 3 Arlington Classic Stakes, where a full field of a dozen 3-year-old males are slated to start.
The $150,000 race features Florida-bred Procurement at odds of 4-1. The second choice in the 1 1/16-mile race, Procurement is a son of Milwaukee Brew and makes the trip from California where he won the La Puente Stakes at Santa Anita Park on April 26.
The colt made his racing debut at Arlington Park last August, where he finished third. He was then sent to California, where he remained until Saturday.
The favorite, at odds of 3-1, is Admiral Kitten, a son of Kitten's Joy. The colt finished second in his last outing in the Grade 2 American Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs in early May.
Procurement was bred and is owned by Ocala's Glen Hill Farm. He is trained by Tom Proctor and has earned more than $130,000 in his career.
Fellow Florida-bred Bambazonki is also entered in the race. The son of Hard Spun is listed at odds of 8-1. He finished second in the Kitten's Joy Stakes at Gulfstream Park in January and is looking for his first stakes win in the Classic. Arlington Park was the site where the colt broke his maiden in September.
He was bred by Ocala's Bridlewood Farm and has earned nearly $80,000 for his owners Lothenbach Stables.
A third Florida-bred, Whiskey Bravo, is also in the race. The 12-1 longshot son of Fusaichi Pegasus was bred in Florida by France and Irwin J. Weiner.
The Arlington Classic is scheduled for 6:38 p.m. and is race No. 10.

I recently decided to try out GTA: SA, so I went out and got it. I was having quite a good time when I decided that I could be having an even better time if my resolution were higher. I tried turning it up to what my computer was nagging me to turn it up to, which I thought was too big. Of course, it was. However, I forgot what the default resolution was, and I didn't even think of just clicking 'restore to default', so I accidentally set it to something extremely low. My computer hated that, and decided not to show the screen at all just in spite. So there I was, sitting in from of a blank screen that said something along the lines of "Not in range", and I was freaked out. So I ctrl-alt-deleted my way out and tried everything I could think of to get rid of that black screen, but nothing worked, it was always out of range. I tried everything from trying to run it in windowed mode (which didn't work) to reinstalling the game.
Long story short, this game is stuck on a resolution that's too small for my screen to detect.
And that is why I come here, to see if there's anything I can do to salvage this. I fear I may never be able to use this program again. Honestly, I've even tried looking for a registry key that would help, I thought of everything. Anyway, thanks in advance. I'd love to be able to play this game, it looks wonderful.

Try deleting the GTA_SA.set file. It stores current ingame settings. It is created at the end of every game save. reboot the computer and try playing. rebooting might not be necessary.
START<username<Documents<GTA San Andreas User Files<gta_sa.set
Note the standard is 800x600x32 and the polygons of this game are fairly crude by current standards. Tyres aren't round, fingers are joined... etc. This is normal and no resolution setting will improve it. The nice thing about the game is it's Playable, unlike the newer 'pretty' games like GTA IV.

************* Game Hints *************
Don't go Mission to Mission. Spend time just looking around, behind walls/bushes, on roofs, under bridges. Explore the Car park buildings and anyother building you can enter...
Do the Gang Tags, Photo's, Horseshes as soon as you can.

Thank you so much, I only thought of looking for setting files in the Program Files folder, but this worked.
And, I realize that the game is a bit dated and that the graphics are always going to be like this, which is perfectly fine, I just wanted to see exactly what changes a higher resolution would have. Not much, apparently.
Anyway, yeah, thank you so much.

All Juice Beauty products contain powerful antioxidants, freshly squeezed organic juice concentrates, vitamins and essential nutrients. This is also the case with all Juice Beauty Cleansers. Natural extracts work wonders on the skin. Juice Beauty Cleansers use the power of fruit juices to effectively dissolve excess oil, makeup, dirt and debris, purifying the skin's surface and the pores to reveal a fresh and vibrant complexion. Juice Beauty Cleansers are the first step to beautiful skin, creating a clean slate so that moisturizers and treatment products can penetrate the layers of skin and provide ultimate benefits. Juice Beauty Cleansers uses naturally acidic juices from organic sources to gently break down dull, dead skin cells that build up and cloud complexions, clogging pores and leaving a veil of dullness on the skin's surface.
Putting hydrators and active ingredients on the skin without a thorough purification from one of the Juice Beauty Cleansers available is a huge mistake. Active ingredients work their magic when starting with fresh and clean skin. Juice Beauty Cleansers should always be the first step in any skin care regimen. After thoroughly rinsing, a moisturizer should be applied in order to seal in the hydration left behind from cleansing. All of the Juice Beauty Cleansers are made from high quality ingredients that contribute to an outstanding cleanse while also providing additional benefits to the skin. Juice Beauty Cleansers are part of a comprehensive skin care system for healthy and radiant skin. After cleansing, you can then apply treatment products that are suitable for your skin type and your concerns.
In order to make an appropriate selection from the collection of Juice Beauty Cleansers, first consider your skin type and your issues.
Juice Beauty Cleansing Milk is the recommended choice for skin that is dry and/or sensitive. Dry skin tends to feel tight and uncomfortable after cleansing with harsh detergents while sensitive skin often reacts to harsh cleansers and can become red and irritable. Juice Beauty Cleansing Milk is a mild, hydrating cleanser that uses nourishing oils from the grape seed to hydrate and soften. Antioxidants from fruits help protect the skin from future damage and can even help to repair damage that has already been done. This cleanser is so gentle, it can even be used to remove makeup on the eyes without stinging.
Skin that is blemish prone is usually in real need of a deep cleansing to purify the pores. Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Cleanser dissolves pore-clogging impurities while also soothing the skin to prevent irritation. Natural botanicals help to balance the skin to improve tone and clarity. This can be used on oily skins, combination skins that experience oiliness in the T zone and skin that is prone to blemishes and breakouts.
Dull skin that is experiencing the sings of aging will really benefit from Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleansing Gel, a purifying cleanser that reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles while improving skin tone to reveal a bright and radiant complexion. Tired and dull skin receives and immediate wake up.
