USES: Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, itching, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat, cough, runny nose, and sneezing. It is also used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting and dizziness caused by motion sickness. Diphenhydramine can also be used to help you relax and fall asleep.This medication works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Its drying effects on such symptoms as watery eyes and runny nose are caused by blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine).Cough-and-cold products have not been shown to be safe or effective in children younger than 6 years. Therefore, do not use this product to treat cold symptoms in children younger than 6 years unless specifically directed by the doctor. Some products (such as long-acting tablets/capsules) are not recommended for use in children younger than 12 years. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details about using your product safely.These products do not cure or shorten the length of the common cold and may cause serious side effects. To decrease the risk for serious side effects, carefully follow all dosage directions. Do not use this product to make a child sleepy. Do not give other cough-and-cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask the doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier or saline nose drops/spray).OTHER This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.Diphenhydramine is also used alone or with other medications to treat shaking (tremor) and muscle stiffness caused by Parkinson's disease. It may also be used to treat side effects of certain psychiatric drugs such as involuntary movements and muscle stiffness (such as EPS). It works by blocking acetylcholine (See also Uses section).

Great helmet
I loved this helmet, esp the color! I had to return it because there was a defect that made it have a rattling noise when I ski in them. Bought a new pair - no issues with the new one!
Wife loves it
It's warm and comfortable. She loves the way it looks and the blue gives it just enough of a feminine touch that she feels it's hers.
Quality size/fit control
Good venting
Keeps her warm on cold days
Makes her look cute
Way better than my helmet
Got this helmet and the Smith I/OS goggles for my fiance last season, and she loves them. They make a great combo with good looks, colors, and compatibility. She says the only downside is the ear flaps are hollow for earphone compatibility, and without anything in there, it makes them cold sometimes. Other than that, warm helmet, tons of vents, and looks awesome. Glad she's stylin' and safe.
Picked it up for the wife...
I care about her safety. She cares about her style and comfort. This was middle ground we found instantly. She went for the baby blue and added instant style to her outfits. The adjustable vents and multiple levels for each allow for her comfort in cold to downright hot conditions. She got her wishes. I got her some real protection. Win / Win.
I Love This Helmet!
This helmet is so comfortable and stylish. It kept my head warm and dry on my recent trip to Whistler.
Ultimate Integration
Great Helmet Now Made For Women
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
One of Smith's best selling helmets is now made for women with a sweet super cushy liner and great colors. Most men are jealous of the liner in the womens colors!

The IRS deadline of April 18th is coming soon. File fast, for FREE with TurboTax Federal Free Edition.
Earlier this month, Audrey Magazine and KoreAm Journal presented their 12th annual awards gala, Unforgettable. Historically, this event recognized the success of the Korean American community, but in honor of Audrey Magazine's 10th anniversary, Unforgettable expanded to celebrate the achievements of the entire Pan-Asian community. Not only did we get to take part in this extravagant event, we presented Janet Yang with the very first Audrey Woman of Influence Award.
Aside from the awards, show-stopping performances and incredible food, Unforgettable stood out this year because of the event's amazing charity partner, Good Neighbors.
Good Neighbors pride themselves in being an international humanitarian organization focusing on child education, community development, health, and disaster relief projects in 30 countries worldwide.
Needless to say, this organization has been doing an incredible amount of work over the years. For example, Good Neighbors has been aiding Haiti since the destructive earthquake in 2010. But now they need your help:
We've come a long way in four years.
This Sunday, January 12th, marks the fourth anniversary of Haiti's catastrophic 7.0 earthquake in 2010. Right after the quake hit, Good Neighbors arrived with an emergency relief team to provide food, water, tents, and medical support to thousands–and ended up staying. Since then, we've established an official field office in Port-au-Prince to identify the most urgent projects and focus on community development. In four years, we've built 31 new homes for displaced families and two new primary schools for children in Wharf Jeremie, one of the most dangerous slums in the region. The homes currently house 50 families and the schools support 615 children and 27 teachers.
As a new year begins in 2014, we're centering our attention on the rural village of Oranger, where 300 kids in the community still have no access to an education. The few that do attend school study in makeshift rooms made out of cut cloth and wooden sticks, with no real tables and chairs, and no textbooks. Our goal is to raise $18,000 to build new schools and cover these children's tuition, supplies, and lunchtime meals. We believe that giving Haiti a fresh starts begins with giving every child an education.
CrowdRise Campaign:
Nelson Mandela said that "education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Every child has the right to a basic education and Project Promise300 will help us provide this to 300 children in the village of Oranger, Haiti.
In April 2011, Good Neighbors completed two schools in Cite Soleil and Wharf Jeremie, two destitute areas in Port-au-Prince where the majority of the population is illiterate and live in extreme poverty. These schools have since provided children ages 4-18 with primary school education, nutritious lunchtime meals, school supplies and uniforms.
Our plan is to expand these educational opportunities into the village of Oranger, where there are no schools built yet and only a few dozen children currently attend class in makeshift classrooms made from wooden sticks and cut cloth. By supporting Project Promise300, you'll help us build new schools, provide school supplies, uniforms and meals, and hire teachers and principals. Help us enroll 300 children who are waiting to start their education, so they can create the future that Haiti deserves.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Kelly Olynyk led four Gonzaga players in
double-figures with 15 points and grabbed six rebounds, as the seventh-ranked
Bulldogs crushed Loyola Marymount, 88-43, Thursday at Albert Gersten Pavilion.
Gary Bell Jr. also dropped in 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting from three-point
range for the Bulldogs (20-2, 7-0 WCC), who have a 7-0 start in conference
play for the first time since going undefeated in league play in 2008-09. Sam
Dower and Drew Barham scored 13 points apiece, while Barham connected on 4-
of-5 from downtown in the victory.
Since suffering a heartbreaking 64-63 loss at ninth-ranked Butler on Jan. 19,
Gonzaga has beaten its last three opponents, BYU, San Francisco and LMU, by a
combined 79 points.
Anthony Ireland led Loyola Marymount with 19 points and five 3-pointers for
the Lions (8-13, 1-7), who have dropped five straight and seven of their
last eight. Ashley Hamilton chipped in nine points in the loss.
Gonzaga started the game on a 16-6 surge after Olynyk hit a 3-pointer just
over six minutes into the contest. Ireland helped draw the Lions briefly
within 22-16 after a 10-6 run with just under 10 minutes remaining in the
first half, but that's when the offense hit a slump.
Unfortunately, it was the closest the home team would get with the 'Zags for
the rest of the game.
Gonzaga unleashed a 24-2 flurry to end the first half to head into the break
up comfortably, 46-18. The visitors shot lights out from behind the arc -- 8-
of-13 for 61.5 percent -- while Bell had 15 points, all off 3-pointers. Loyola
Marymount shot 24 percent from the floor and had just three players find the
scoreboard, all after 20 minutes of play.
Gonzaga increased its already dominant lead to 58-26 eight minutes into the
second half with Dower's tip-in and as the game reached under eight minutes,
David Stockton's trey made it 69-32 before the team rolled for the win.
Game Notes
The Bulldogs have won six straight in the series and 34 of 37 overall versus
Loyola Marymount ... Gonzaga shot 54.4 percent from the floor, including a
season-high 13 threes ... Ayodeji Egbeyemi contributed nine points and seven
boards in the defeat ... LMU finished shooting 25 percent (14-of-56) from the
floor ... The win guaranteed Gonzaga coach Mark Few his 14th straight 20-
victory season.

Chomping at the Bit: New CGE Awaiting First Light
Posted 12 June 2009 - 11:15 AM
According to Accuwether.com, it looks like next Wednesday will be my first clear night. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The mount will variously carry a TEC 140 and a Mewlon 210 (the latter is on order), and will be used for visual observation only, including lots of double stars. My goal for the next 12 months is to "run the table" of every double star visible from my site that is listed in Sissy Haas' double star book and is within the reach of the TEC 140.
I went with the CGE after much deliberation. Mainly Nexstar and my familiarity with it plus the very low clearance price tipped the balance toward the CGE. Nexstar is simple to use and has a slew-to RA and Dec feature that makes working from a tabular field guide like Burnham's Celestial Handbook or Sissy's double star book a breeze.
So for now, I am just biding my time...*big sigh*

At least I'm not missing much as my mount sits in the warranty repair queue at Celestron in Torrance.
Posted 12 June 2009 - 06:30 PM
Posted 12 June 2009 - 07:23 PM
Yikes! Two out of three posters with (presumably) new CGEs at Celestron for warranty repairs. Makes me want to first light mine even more.
Mine is not a CGE; just a lowly CG-5 ASGT. But still a "Celestron." So much for "the quality goes in before the name goes on." Oh wait, that was Zenith.

I have learned to test everything. It's tough if you don't have the required gear though. Bought a refurbished Sony 12" laptop almost 8 years ago. Didn't have a firewire device to test. Bought a D8 camcorder to replace a dead Hi8 one. Hooked it up to the laptop and no response, but the firewire port on the docking station worked. I tested it 2 weeks before the 90 day warranty expired. When I asked tech support why a refurb did not work fully initially, he simply replied that "they are fully tested." Even if you don't use it for AP, put a camera on the scope and measure the amplitude of the wiggles and calculate the PE.
Prior to the purchase, I thought of AP with the c14. With my Onyx, ADM rings, another dovetail, it's pushing it. I'll do AP with the c11 or c8 and use the c14 visually.
Now this is solid! Damps out in less than 1 second. Nexstar 8 GPS on modified c11/c14 wedge

Oh, hopefully you'll get clear skies soon, it has been the cloudiest spring in KY I can remember, but it seems we're getting in that thunderstorm pattern of summer with clearing skies in the evening.

At RTMC this year the guys from Celestron were very reluctant to even mention the CGE "classic" as one salesman called it.
If production ends I would like to have an extra.

At RTMC this year the guys from Celestron were very reluctant to even mention the CGE "classic" as one salesman called it.
I'm still not clear on whether they really intend to stop production on the CGE or not, but if they do, it will be a real shame and a big mistake. There is nothing like it in that price range. I agree, it's a real workhorse, and very dependable. It has more capacity than the CGEM and is much easier to set up than the CGE Pro, which is really an observatory mount. What few problems the CGE has had have been well addressed on CN and relatively easy to correct.

We actually had some rain this morning, but we have a very nice sky tonight down here in So Cal for the first time in a very long time. Even though my mount is still lost in the black hole of Celestron's repair department, I used the opportunity to enjoy the early summer skies through my binoculars.
Your forecast looks promising for tomorrow night.

LOL:-) Petaluma.. I grew up in Santa Rosa, I can feel ya. I'm In the high desert in Oregon these days but still, rain rain rain for the last few weeks.
I lived in San Francisco for three years, and for the last year I lived in the Outer Sunset. I think I saw the Sun once during that year. But you do expect some clear days in Petaluma in the summer. In any event, given the drought in the Western U.S. I'm happy to see any rain in the Colorado Basin. But fog without rain is the worst of both worlds.

It's a very heavy mount and I would really tire of using it had I not purchased the Pelican rolling case and ADM knobs for it. Were I using a tooled set-up and the original box, the hassle factor in the form of long set-up, take-down and packing times would be too high for me.
All in all, I would say that for ~$2700 the "Made in USA" CGE is a bargain for its capacity and savvy, user-friendly electronics.

text: Only down fall to the .300 Win Mag is cost of ammunition. I am a WSM fan big time, everything I own. The 270 wsm is one heck of a caliber, just a bit light for some of the larger game. So I would have to say the most versatile caliber is the 7wsm, a step down from the cannon. But just like everything else in the hunting world, from shoes, jackets, sleeping bags to guns. It's only time before you realize that one is not enough. You just about have to have a couple items for different scenarios. So pick what you want to hunt the most and go with that first. Then over the years you will want to pick up something on the other end of the spectrum.

Germaine Bazzle, Irvin Mayfield, & Paul Longstreth
Hagar's House
Sunday, March 24, 2013 from 8:00 PM to 11:55 PM (CDT)
Germaine Bazzle
Paul Longstreth
Sunday, March 24
at Irvin Mayfield's Jazz Playhouse
to benefit HAGAR'S HOUSE
One of the true legends of New Orleans jazz, Germaine Potter Bazzle has been under-recognized nationally and internationally through her entire career. On par with R&B queen Irma Thomas, her voice in jazz is as distinctive as any, with a sweet soul to match. Her exploits singing in the Seventh Ward are unmatched, but she has been known primarily as a teacher. Influenced by the greats like Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billy Eckstein, she took on a repertoire of classic jazz, American popular songs, show tunes, and the music of Duke Ellington. Sounds of the church were never far behind, and she sang regularly on Sundays with the Saint Louis Catholic Choir. A graduate of Xavier University, Bazzle chose to stay at home, instructing mostly young girls in choir and music appreciation at Xavier Prep. Her limited discography has her included on the compilation New New Orleans Music: Vocal Jazz and her live document, Standing Ovation. In 2007 she was part of the faculty at the Louis Armstrong Jazz Camp, along with other Crescent City music icons, in particular Edward "Kidd" Jordan."
Paul Longstreth's musical background began in church, where his father was a Methodist minister and orchestral director and his mother was an active participant in Church music, education, and ministry programs. While he received piano lessons from their choir director and was encouraged to sing in the choirs at church and at school, it was not until he got to New Orleans in 1989 that the idea of making music a career became a possibility.
After hearing Mr. Ellis Marsalis in concert at Tulane University he promptly dropped out. To his parents chagrin, he left a hefty scholarship from a reputable university to pursue a career in piano performance! Unsuccessfully, he auditioned twice for the Jazz Studies program at the University of New Orleans. But being stubborn, and persistent, and completely ignorant of how little he actually understood, he eventually gained admittance.
After four years studying with Mr. Marsalis, he graduated and began searching for work. Proving again that he is the luckiest kid on the planet, he was able to build a reputation as a solid sideman and accompanist in the mecca of traditional jazz, New Orleans. He is still amazed to list performances with Lenny Kravitz, Rufus Reid, Nicholas Payton, The Leroy Jones Quintet, Charles Neville, Bob French and the Original Tuxedo Jazz Band, Kermit Ruffins and the Barbecue Swingers, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, Irvin Mayfield, Charmaine Neville, The Harry Connick Orchestra, Sista Teedy's Bootleg Operation, Jeremy Davenport, Lucien Barbarin, Crönk, UMAMI, The New Birth Brass Band, John Boutte, and A Kind of Lovechild.
Today, he leads bands, writes songs, teaches piano improvisation, and continues to practice, practice, practice! It is an honor to perform music for a living. And it is his desire not just to entertain audiences, but to engage, educate, and enlighten both himself and all willing listeners.
Since opening in 2007, over 125 women and children have found sanctuary, rest, and a home at Hagar's House.
Hagar's House began two years after Katrina, during a time when there were 12,000 people living in New Orleans without homes, and hundreds were living in a tent city in front of City Hall. Knowing this reality, a local homeless organization approached First Grace United Methodist Church- our founding support community- and asked the church to temporarily house people. Despite the fact that First Grace had not repainted its walls, fixed its floor, or purchased pews since the hurricane, the church council unanimously said "of course" when four young AmeriCorps volunteers from Mississippi and Louisiana (who lived inside the church) proposed opening a women's shelter in the building. Two weeks later, the volunteer area of the church became Hagar's House, a home for women. We promised that while opening our doors and our lives to provide housing, we would do this while struggling to address the core issues behind why women and children were, and are still, without housing.
Now, almost seven years later, we have fully rebuilt a new home, transitioned from an overnight emergency shelter to a 24/7 residential community, expanded our program to include both women and children, and implemented holistic health, social justice and resident savings programs. Hagar's House is now a community of fun, smart, and creative women and children who are working with and for each other to transition into permanent housing.

This year my wife has the limited entry San Juan elk Ridge unit right next to you :-)
Has anyone ever hunted the San Juan-Abajo Mountains in south eastern Utah? I drew this tag for the general season and can't wait till October. I know some of the country there is steep and goes down to the high desert. If you've hunted this area, how was it and would you hunt it again? Thanks and good luck this season!
This year my wife has the limited entry San Juan elk Ridge unit right next to you :-)
It is pretty steep up high and thick down low. It is beautiful country with a mix of easy access and areas you have to work for. We weren't overwhelmed with the number of deer during the muzzleloader hunt in 2010 but managed to kill a 20" 2x4 (my buddy's first big game animal). I'd have to be pretty tag poor to spend the $$ on a general deer tag in Utah these days but as far as general hunts go it's average. If nothing else it's fun to see 300"+ bulls every day.
I hunt it every year (archery) although I have never hunted the rifle hunt. There are some decent bucks around, but you'll have to work for them! Usually by the time the rifle hunt rolls around these bucks have been chased pretty hard and are close to thick stands of timber. Good luck!
Thanks for the info. I'm trying to put a game plan together as far as studying maps and what people have to say about the area before October.
I drew an archery elk tag for the San Juan area and will be scouting somewhere in the area. Will let you know if I see any big bucks.
That would be mighty kind of you! Thank you.
How did the hunt go? Success? If so, please post pics. We're always hopeful for those with the luck to get a tag.
Sorry it took me a while to get back on here, but I wasn't able to go hunting this year. Couldn't make it due to family reasons. However, I will be hoping for a hunt this year.

How It's Made: Globe : Video : Science Channel shows how one manufacturer does it for one line of globes (I think it's been shown here before). Making a single globe is relatively painstaking work. As the globes get larger, the support structure gets harder and the globes have to e made of comparatively tougher stuff.
See also http://www.cartographersguild.com/ma...ank-globe.html and http://www.cartographersguild.com/re...rld-globe.html for more information on making globes.
If you'd like a multi-function globe for decorating your home, http://www.amazon.com/Sixteenth-Cent.../dp/B001MA1W8G shows one sort of thing that you can get. I find it amusing that it's approximately cheaper to get the bar than to get a real globe. My family used to have something like one of these back in the late 60's and it was interesting to look at and moderately sturdy.

USAFA, CO (Sports Network) - Having had a week to enjoy their massive blowout
win over 15th-ranked New Mexico at home, the 22nd-ranked San Diego State
Aztecs now set their sights on the Air Force Falcons in Mountain West
Conference play at Clune Arena.
Not only did the Aztecs crush New Mexico last weekend, 55-34, the victory
marked the first time in 30 years that SDSU was able to defeat league foes in
back-to-back outings by at least 20 points. On Jan. 23, the team throttled
Nevada in Reno, 78-57, which means the Aztecs are now 4-2 in conference play
under head coach Steve Fisher, who is now in his 14th season with the program.
As for the Falcons, a squad which is also 4-2 in league play, they were in
action just a few nights ago against Fresno State and used the opportunity to
deliver a 62-50 victory at home. The win was the fourth in a row for the
Academy, one shy of the season-long five-game run the team put together to
kick off the 2012-13 campaign.
San Diego State has won eight of the last nine meetings against the Falcons,
but last season the teams split their two matchups and in games played at the
USAF Academy, the hosts trail by only three games, 17-14.
The defensive effort by the Aztecs last week versus New Mexico was nothing
short of amazing as the team tied the program record for fewest points allowed
at the Division I level. The Lobos shot a dismal 25.0 percent from the floor
in the outing as only one player scored in double figures and just two made
more than a single field goal. For SDSU, JJ O'Brien registered a double-double
with 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds, followed by Jamaal Franklin with
10 points on a mere 4-of-16 shooting from the floor, the team surviving with
40.4 percent accuracy overall. Franklin, who is playing in excess of 33
minutes per game, leads the team in scoring with 17.4 ppg and is also first
with 9.4 rpg, 64 assists and 29 steals, but all of that does not cover up the
fact that he has connected on only 26.6 percent of his 3-point tries this
season. Chase Tapley, who is dealing with a wrist injury at the moment, is
second in scoring with 14.6 ppg and has been much more efficient out on the
perimeter at 41.1 percent.
The Falcons turned the ball over 15 times and shot just 5-of-17 behind the 3-
point line against Fresno State on Wednesday night, but still the team played
well enough to post a double-digit win. Todd Fletcher led all scorers with 19
points on 8-of-11 shooting from the floor, including a perfect 3-of-3 showing
beyond the arc, while Michael Lyons chipped in with 15 points for the hosts.
Against the last three league opponents, the Falcons have limited each of them
to 50 points or less, which is a huge turn-around from having allowed 80 to
Boise State and 79 to Colorado State in back-to-back decisions last month.
Over six league bouts the competition is posting 66.3 ppg, which is only
fractions of a point less than what the Falcons are generating at the moment.
Lyons (15.5 ppg), Mike Fitzgerald (14.3 ppg) and Fletcher (10.7 ppg) have
combined to hit 26-of-61 behind the 3-point line to give the squad a perimeter

Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne scored in extra time Tuesday to give Belgium a 2-1 win over the United States and a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals.
De Bruyne gave an attacking Belgium the lead in the 93rd minute, finally getting a shot past U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard. Lukaku made it 2-0 in the 105th.
Julian Green then pulled one back for the Americans in the 107th minute, but the Americans couldn't muster another to send the match to a penalty shootout.
The game was briefly delayed when a man ran onto the field in the 16th minute and had to be escorted off.

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has emerged on top going into General elections 2014 despite Congress-led UPA govt having poured $20 bn a year into rural India in addition to free education, health.
Kasba Bonli is a newly prosperous market town in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan and it should be a perfect advertisement for the ruling Congress party's pro-farmer policies. Instead the buzz in the bazaar is for the opposition.
In just a few years, handouts for farmers by Congress have helped turn the once-deprived village into a thriving retail centre, selling everything from glittery bangles to satellite dishes.
The Congress party-led government pours at least $20 billion a year into rural India in addition to free education and health and cheap food. Cheap fertiliser, seeds and electricity, 100 days of guaranteed paid work a year and new rural roads have given farmers cash to spend.
These funds have helped create an emerging middle class, mostly in semi-urban and small towns, which one estimate has put at almost a quarter of India's 1.2 billion people.
But many in this new middle class believe the next step up the income ladder will come when the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Narendra Modi, its candidate for prime minister and currently the Gujarat chief minister, will be in power. That bodes ill for Congress ahead of a 2014 general election that must be held by May.
Farmer Raghuvir Meena, who voted for Congress in the last state polls, bought two new tractors over the past few years and nearly doubled his farming area, attributing the prosperity to better farming techniques and seeds. He sent three of his four children to college to train as teachers. Now he wants to get out of farming and this time Modi has his vote.
"Modi's track record in Gujarat has excited the youth. Even I would love to see BJP come back to power, for my kids, for their jobs," he said, juggling phone calls on his mobile.
Modi is widely seen as a business-friendly reformer who has attracted investment and bolstered economic growth in Gujarat, providing jobs to many.
For Congress this trend in the small towns is the latest in a series of reverses. It is already battling slowing economic growth, perceptions of poor governance, several corruption scandals and the growing popularity of Modi.
For decades, Congress relied on its pro-farmer policies giving it rural votes. Then, at the last election

|J.C. Peckham fills vacant council seat
|Written by Chris Lee
J.C. Peckham emerged as the newest member of Holyoke City Council after a June 16 council vote.
The seat has been vacant since Sara Bohrer announced her resignation May 19. Bohrer and her husband moved to Alamosa June 1 after he accepted a position as the BOCES director.
Peckham was one of six people up for the position. The others were Nathan Coyne, Dan Denbo, Brian Akey, Gilbert Konecne and Kathryn Jacoby.
After council members were through voting, it came down to a tie between Peckham and Konecne. To break the tie, council members put the two names into a hat and Mayor David Nygaard drew the winner.
Born in Yuma and moving to Holyoke at the age of 5, Peckham has close ties to the area. He has been employed by PC Telcom as the lead cable technician since 2005.
He began at Charter Communications before working for the City of Holyoke. When PC Telcom purchased the cable system he went to work for them.
He received a degree in telecommunications from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla.
Peckham has always had an interest in the government, so joining the board as a councilman is something he is looking forward to. His minor in college was government, and his mother (Connie) served on the board in the past. Both were factors in his decision to get involved.
Giving everyone a voice and making sure everyone is heard is something Peckham wants to see.
"I'm always out in the public and I'm always listening to what people have to say," Peckham said.
Anytime someone has an issue they would like to talk about, Peckham said he is willing to listen.
Peckham spent eight years in the Marine Corps. He then came home and married his wife, Natalie. Peckham has three children, Bradley Coyne, Alison Coyne and Victoria Erickson.
City Supt. Mark Brown said the city plans to begin applying seal coat to streets in town on June 29-30. July 1 will act as a rain day.
Also in his report, the concrete footings for the new city building had been set. He also mentioned a new fuel tank was set to be installed at the airport this week.
During the Police Chief report, Sergeant Doug Bergstrom, filling in for Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer, mentioned concerns regarding code enforcement.
Problems with television antennas and sidewalks were the two topics Bergstrom brought to the council's attention.
Places where tree roots have passed underneath sidewalks and either raised or cracked them is the main issue at hand.
The question of whether to allow Code Enforcement Officer Dawn Archibeque to pursue these problems was raised.
The board agreed to allow Archibeque to pursue incidents where safety becomes an issue but questioned her job load.
Archibeque mentioned expanding items needing her attention would mean she will require more hours.
"I'm at the max," Archibeque said.
The board mentioned once certain ordinances are taken care of around town it will free up Archibeque to pursue other problems.
But it was then discussed the turnover rate of people moving into town will never allow for the problems to completely go away. Archibeque agreed.
In other business June 16, council members:
—accepted Marc Schlachter's $5,000 bid for the city's used trencher. Others entering bids were Lee Struckmeyer and Matt Newman.
—set Josh Conde's wages at $7.85 per hour. Conde was hired to fill the gap left by Daniel Koch. Along with his wage, council members approved the wages for five lifeguards at $7.28 per hour.
—approved the liquor license renewal for Lucky's Liquor.
—approved the golf course lease.
—agreed to help the Chamber of Commerce pick up and deliver tables for the Chamber Consumer Producer Appreciation Day.
—approved on the 4th of July, open swimming from 1-3 p.m. on July 4.
—approved a $1,000 donation to Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department for the fireworks display.

Torino ran a time of 19 minutes and 41 seconds and earned the girls championship on Saturday morning in the Celtic Invitational at Trinity Catholic High School.
"It was really good to win," Torino said.
On her way to the victory, Torino was able to get past Lecanto's Claire Farnsworth and posted the victory.
"She was pacing me and that really got me going," Torino said.
The NMHS pulled things out late.
At around the 2 1/2 mile mark of the race, Torino was able to pick things up and pull away from Farnsworth for a 30-second victory. With the win, Torino continued her string of early season success and will look to make some noise at next Saturday's MCIAC Meet at Belleview.
North Marion hasn't had an individual county champion since Nola Ehrlund won the county title back in 1996 when cross country events were just two mile races instead of today's 5K distance.
Now, Torino will have the opportunity to face off next week against perennial area power Vanguard, which has dominated the area for the past 15-plus seasons under coach James Travieso.
Aside from Torino, Forest's girls were able to emerge from victorious on Saturday at TCHS.
The Wildcats posted a team score of 61, just ahead of West Port (71), Lecanto (71) and Belleview (74).
Sabrina Yser (sixth/21:43), Paige Davis (ninth/22:26) and Alison Phillips (16th/23:26 were the top finishers for Forest.

Howery Teaching Enhancement Grant Program
American Sociological Association
1430 K Street NW

This small grants program supports teaching projects that advance the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) within the discipline of sociology. The Carnegie Foundation has defined SoTL as "problem posing about an issue of teaching or learning, study of the problem through methods appropriate to the disciplinary epistemologies, application of results to practice, communication of results, self-reflection, and peer review" (Cambridge 2001). Howery Teaching Enhancement Grants can support an individual, a program, a department, or a committee of a state/regional association.
Information about award criteria, submission instructions, and deadlines.
Contributions to TEF in Honor of Carla Howery
Carla B. Howery, who served ASA for 25 years as Director of Academic and Professional Affairs (and later as Deputy Executive Officer), died March 31, 2009. The ASA Council renamed the Teaching Enhancement Fund (TEF) in honor of Howery on May 14, 2009. This action was meant to "recognize and honor Carla Beth Howery for the work in which she took the most professional and personal pride--enhancing the discipline of sociology through practical ways of nourishing the fruits of great teaching and by recognizing those who labor in its vineyards at all levels" (ASA Council Resolution).
Carla Beth Howery's life and her contributions to sociology and ASA were featured in a Footnotes article celebrating her 25th year at ASA, as well as in her obituary. Carla's family asked that, in lieu of flowers or cards, contributions could be made to Christ Lutheran Church (5101 16th Street NW, Washington, DC 20011) or to the ASA Teaching Enhancement Fund, established during Carla's tenure at ASA.

There is nothing "misguided" about sealing juve records. That's the law and it should be.

Are we talking about juve records here? If that is the case, I agree, with exceptions to that as well. These kids that send stuff thru iphone and get caught can end up as a registered sex offender-which very wrong. Yet an adult that is convicted of serious sex crimes allowed to work with kids-thats insane. There are people that have done wrong and paid their dues, and are as honest of a worker than someone w/o any record.

I created a 2nd address book on my Mac Mini in the OS X Lion Address Book. On my MacBook, my iPad and iPhone, I wanted to sync this 2n address book as well. None of them synchronizes any of the address entries I created on my Mac Mini.
I checked the address book for this CardDAV account on the Zimbra web interface. What I see is confusing: Some addresses appear multiple times. One difference is that some entries include the pictures I added to the contact. Others don't show the picture yet.
All contacts were created in the Address Book application only. - Is there a known issue with CardDAV sync between OS X Lion and Zimbra 7.1.1?

Quality bedding is often defined by the thread count of the fabric. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality, more durable weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and aptly serve their purposes. Common thread counts range from 180 to 1,200. While important, thread count does not alone determine how a fabric performs and feels. Also consider the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Yarn Size: Yarn size refers to the thickness of the individual threads that make up a woven fabric. The higher the yarn size, the finer the thread. Quality sheets usually have a yarn size ranging from 40 to 100. Finer yarns can only be made from high-quality, long staple cottons such as Supima. Yarn size is important to thread count because finer yarns take up less space than thicker yarns, thus the highest thread count sheets are generally made from the finest yarns.
Ply: The other important component to thread count is ply. Single ply fabrics are made from individually woven threads of yarn, while two-ply fabrics are made from two threads of yarn that are first twisted together and then woven. Since two-ply fabrics have essentially double the thread count of their single ply counterparts, two-ply fabrics must be made from extremely fine yarns, otherwise the end product might feel too bulky and heavy.

We have settled on St. Brendan's Isle as the firm to handle our US mailing address. There are some pretty slick services out there that will scan your mail and put it up on the web for you but the SBI folks just seem to understand the needs of a cruiser a bit better. They will even renew our Coast Guard documentation for us (every year...). We get a regular street address and they will ship anything we ask for, anywhere, whilst tossing the bulk rate garbage that currently floods the snail-mail-ways. We are about the 4,000th client of theirs and it is no wonder that they have great shipping suggestions for just about any destination around the globe.

After considering how to remote our US presence we decided that a global call friendly phone solution and a US mail forwarding address were all that we really needed.
There are a few voice over IP phone solutions out there but we have determined that Skype is the service to beat. While I hate to bet against Google and Google Talk, Skpye is presently far ahead when it comes to a total phone solution. Our Skype account allows us to call other Skype users over the Internet for no charge. It is pretty easy to convince friends and family in Japan and the US to buy a $10 mic for their PC and spend 5 minutes installing a rather small application when "free" is weighing in the balance. We can call all standard US and Canada phones for free until the end of the year and the rest of the globe is about 2 cents a minute. Skype also gets us a phone number, for all of our technology challenged friends (how retro!), and free voicemail. Not bad for $38 a year. The audio quality and latency are also good (not great but acceptable for business).
Google is still our choice for email and we will be integrating our route planning and logs with Google Earth here.

We both now hold Marine Radio Operator Permits. We only needed the Restricted Permit, which is like an FCC fund raiser (the FCC keeps no record of Restricted Permit holders and if you fill out the form and pay a fee it's yours) but were required to get the MROP for our Yachtmaster certification. The MROP requires you to take the Commercial Radio Operator Written Element 1 test. Studying for the test was a fairly easy and worthwhile exercise in retrospect. We took the test at the Gordon West School. Gordon and his wife are awesome and they own all of the radios in Costa Mesa as far as I can tell. I haven't gotten such a cool certificate since grade school.
I have reconsidered getting a HAM license now that I have begun to dig into the ICOM 802 SSB we just purchased. The marine high frequency radios operate much like HAM radios but you can only transmit on the marine channels unless you're a HAM. SailMail is an email service that operates over the SSB and is looking like the way we will do most of our email. With HAM transmit capabilities our email options will be broader (and cheaper). The HAM requirements should be dropping the Morse code element any day so I think I'll hold out.

We had a little BBQ with lots of friends over last weekend with the goal of reducing our beer inventory. I enjoy brewing beer and typically make 30 gallons or so at a whack. This tends to last quite a while. I have bequeathed my brewing tree and brewing gear to Dan K. (the original Brew Master in these parts). But that still left us with two kegs and many cases of Weizenbock, Scotch Ale and Apricot Ale. Our friends didn't even make a dent, guess we're not as young as we used to be. They did kill one of the kegs but we have a lot of work to do. Too bad you can't sell beer on ebay.
Beer, in my experience, is rather expensive in the Caribbean. While you can get a case of beer in the US for about $20, it can easily be $50 in the islands. Many bars sell a bottle of beer for $6. On the other hand you can get a 750ml bottle of pretty good rum for $3. I don't drink much but I enjoy wine and beer with food and a nice single malt from time to time. That said, the spirit of our trip is to immerse ourselves in the substance of the rest of the world, not to swim up stream. I am now researching a substantial list of rum drinks.

As we sort through all of the years of accumulated stuff, four piles have emerged:
- Boat
- Las Vegas
- Stash Somewhere
- ebay
I don't know how people got along in the garage sale era. We're controling the boat pile which is good. The Las Vegas pile is decidedly small as we don't know how long we'll keep the place in Sin City. The Stash Somewhere pile is also in pretty good shape. On the other hand the ebay pile grows faster than I can post auctions.
I'm not actually sure how much money we're making in relative terms. I think I could earn as much on an 'hours invested' basis working at Krispy Kreme. I'm pretty sure that ebay and PayPal are doing ok though. The best thing about ebay is that it allows you to get rid of stuff that you can't stand to throw away. It is the greatest recycling system on the net. It just feels better knowing that your stuff will go to those who will appreciate it rather than a land fill. In the end, when your travels are through, perhaps you can buy it back on ebay so that it can take up space in your closet again where it belongs.
Ebay is an amazing marketplace to study also. For high demand items ebay is very efficient. I sold two identical items one month apart and the price I received was within 1% variation. There are also interesting currency dynamics. When the Euro gets strong the French out bid all the folks from Idaho, even with the shipping penalty. You get a lesson or two in the effect of time zones on market dynamics as well. You get the best prices when you list items so that they close at an hour when the most interested parties are conscious.
Another week or two and the high profile stuff will be out the door. Then it will start getting tough...

Last weekend our friends the Mac Kenzies came over. Thomas and Emily have three beautiful and very smart kids. As we are hoping to have them visit often we spent some time imagining different routes to take around the globe and different places to visit. We will be "cruising", so other than knowing where we are in the present tense everything is always up for discussion. We do have a rough plan though.

Hideko and I try to get out sailing at least a couple of times a week while we continue our liquidation process. In the midst of getting our house on the market and selling things on eBay, sailing reminds us why we're doing all of this. We were out on the water for 10 hours today with our friends Margaret and Arjun. Wednesday nights MDR hosts the infamous beer can races, we barely got down the channel (and crossed the finish line for fun) before the 60'ers ran us down. The boat you see here is "Spiderman", a well maintained Catalina 28 out of Marina Sailing.
