Glad to see so many posting here have their eyes open to obama the pied piper of our time...not my leader or my president...I would not follow him across the street...his followers are just like the pied pipers and will gladly follow him right over the cliff...the "Hope" I have for the country is for The Strong People of this country. We are many and do not need the tyranny of Govt control around our necks...the silent majority is alive and well and will be heard from when the time comes.

@YouMakeNoImpactOnMe. I could care less if you read one, none, or all of my posts. Also you do not impress me at all with your slant on our miserable Demander-In Chief. You can love him all you want, as for me, I cannot stand him. He is wrecking our country and you are one of the idiots that voted for him. I hope you can still smile after he takes everything we have and destroys it. You are one of the chosen few that thinks Obozo is so great, wrong again. Yes I am a human being you piece of human increment. I am almost 70 and if you think I am going to listen to your crap, you are "Wrong!

Coal says coal is the largest employer, BIOYA turkies!:
"According to the West Virginia Mine Safety Office, there are over 23,500 people employed in the coal mining industry with a total coal production of over 39,274,552 tons mined in 2010.
The employment figures don't take into account that there is another 100,000 or more people directly affected by the mining industry such as service businesses, retail shops, supply companies, mining repair companies and the list goes on.
Coal is truly king in West Virginia and many citizens depend on the mines for economic survival. Without the coal mines in many towns throughout West Virginia they would just become ghost towns."

@wvdopey. If you had read yesterday mornings paper you would have seen that miners in WV have lost there jobs. You are such a staunch dumbocrap that you do not care about no one but them. That is why we have the problems we do. But the main reason the USA is so troubled is because of our so called Commander In Chief. He is a poor excuse for a leader. You yourself are one of the reasons we are going backwards. You follow your great Messiah and no one else. And in both cases, you two are complete losers. To bad we have people like you and Obozo!

Howard, Shark, "Mr. Obama is the worst president in U.S. history". This staement is childish and totally unsupported. He has been elected to a second term by a majority of American voters. Live with it or get out. You're probably too old and feeble to do the latter.

Hey Howard, I'm with ya partner.
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
Isn't it amazing how such a so-called "educated & enlightened people" have spent billion$ upon billion$ on something they coin as 'climate change' or 'global warming'? The same being no more than a THEORY. Yes, only a THEORY.
Same with Evolution. They base an entire doctrine and way of life on a THEORY, while at the same time suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.
So foolish.
So what do the people do? That's right, they give the schlickmeister 4 more years to "finish the job".
Now you know why Jesus referred to people as "sheep".
The sheeple have given themselves over to lies, deception, complacency, compromise, and uncleanness.

Mr. Obama is the worst President in U.S. history. Period. In one of the comments above someone stated he won only because he carried densely populated urban areas of the country and this is absolutely true. It's also true that in many of the precincts in these urban areas, more people voted than were registered to vote. If you noticed I refer to Obama as Mr. Obama, not President Obama. I refuse to accept this ideologue as my President. He is against almost everything I'm for and he's for almost everything I'm against. I believe King Obama or Emperor Obama would be more appropriate. Nothing more disastrous to the well being of the United States could have happened than Obama being its President. Heaven forbid, he has 4 more years to complete his destruction of this great country.

"The technically recoverable coal resources in the United States are unsurpassed and total 50 percent of the world's coal reserves. At 486 billion short tons, it can supply our country's electricity demand for coal for almost 500 years at current usage rates."
WVHoopie and others would prefer that we load this coal onto ships and transfer it to developing economies, while forcing millions of Americans into energy poverty and weakening our economy at the same time. I think this is a bad policy, but maybe I'm being selfish.

|Band director hired, counselor position added
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Employment of a band director for Holyoke School District Re-1J for 2012-13 and authorization for an elementary counselor position highlighted the personnel discussion at the May 15 meeting of the Holyoke School Board.
Mitsuko Martinez was hired as the grade 5-12 band instructor. She grew up in an Air Force family and went to high school in Japan. She attended college in Illinois and graduated from Elmherst College two years ago with a degree in K-12 music education.
Since graduation, she has worked as a substitute teacher and an instructional aide for the band department at Mundelein High School near Chicago, Ill.
Martinez has student teaching experience at both the high school level and with grade 4-8 students. Additionally, she has worked at summer band camps, with a music supply firm and as an instructional aide in the music department at Elmherst College.
Early in last week's board meeting, the resignation of first-grade teacher Julie Beavens was approved.
First grade was the only K-6 grade which had three sections in the 2011-12 school year. All the rest had two sections, which is what will be seen in next year's first-grade setting, as well.
With the available FTE (full-time equivalent) position, Supt. Bret Miles and elementary school principal Kyle Stumpf recommended creating the elementary counselor position.
"There are a dozen places we can put this next staff member," Supt. Miles told the Re-1J board at last week's meeting. He added the elementary counselor position is certainly one that is needed and also is one that could help so many other areas.
The addition of this position can be done within the existing budget parameters for 2012-13.
Miles said contracting for counseling services with Centennial Mental Health has not been working. The CMH turnover negatively impacts the position, and the needs go beyond the scheduled one-day-a-week visits.
The superintendent pointed out that there is an undisputable need for services for several students. And there seems to be a growing population of needy students, including many traumatic circumstances.
Miles emphasized the need to develop an anti-bullying program, saying they can't dump another thing on classroom teachers.
Additionally, Miles said the principal needs to focus on instruction. More and more time is being spent with social services and families over personal issues. The time will become even more evident when the principal starts evaluating every teacher every year with the new evaluation law.
Board members endorsed the addition of the counselor position at the elementary school, citing how it could impact so many areas and all grade levels.
Two other resignations accepted
In addition to first-grade teacher Beavens, resignations were accepted from JR/SR High ESL aide Veronica Núñez and athletic director Kimberlee Bennett.
Miles, as well as the board, noted appreciation for Bennett's work as AD for the past two years and commented on her willingness to jump in and help with anything.
Bennett will be teaching in the district, and Miles said he looks forward to her contributions for increasing math scores.
Construction reviewed
Prior to last week's meeting, board members toured the facilities for an overview of the summer construction projects. They were given a construction schedule and reviewed various stages of work planned this summer.
Also included on the tour were the district's owner representative Brian Walsh of Catalyst Planning Group, construction superintendent Frank Garrett of White Construction and Tom Bennett of First Pioneer National Bank, the financial institution backing the project.
The tour followed a two-hour planning meeting with Walsh, Garrett, Supt. Miles and director of transportation/maintenance and facilities Robert Jacobs.
Miles said he feels the investment of the owner's representative has been worth every dollar. Citing the construction schedule, he said they hope to always have a gym open throughout the summer.
The board acknowledged appreciation to the staff and community for their patience. There will be quite a little activity during the construction, and accessibility of the schools will be impacted.
Budget parameters set
Budget parameters for 2012-13 were approved at last week's meeting.
Supt. Miles pointed out building and department budgets will be flat, with expenditures limited to the 2011-12 budget.
A big unknown factor in the budget involves the grant for the alternative school. The grant application is for $75,000. If fully-funded, the district is $25,000 more to the good. If not funded, it is $50,000 behind.
Information on the at-risk grant had not been received at the time of the board meeting. Additional cuts will be necessary if the grant application is not funded.
Eight parameters for budget preparation were adopted as follows:
—preliminary budget will be built using a student count of 589, with no increase or decrease from 2011-12.
—preliminary budget may include a portion of the fund balance as revenue as long as it does not exceed one-third of the available money above the $1.2 million target.
—utilize natural attrition of staff as the first option for staff reductions if needed.
—the district shall make every effort to find efficiencies and make cuts farther away from the classroom when possible and continue to evaluate class sizes and adjusting internally to needs.
—personnel expenditures are the top priority. Steps should be funded acknowledging these 1-1.5 percent increases do not keep up with inflation of 3.7 percent. The district needs to fund the increased PERA employer contribution. The district needs to increase health insurance contributions so employees do not have a negative increase.
—the board understands capital projects are a priority, but will allow some flexibility in 2012-13 to reduce the capital expenditures if needed.
—maintaining the technology implementation schedule is a budget priority.
—the district shall continue to explore and evaluate innovative approaches to increasing revenue in an effort to offset the need for ongoing budget cuts.
Other business
In other business May 15, the Re-1J board:
—heard a recommendation on the retention policy, supporting language which gives the final decision on retention/promotion to the principal rather than leaving it with the parent.
—acknowledged a $100.94 gift for supplies from Pamida from their Back-to-School fund raiser last fall.
—noted a May 31 panel discussion sponsored by Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB). The purpose of the panel is to help inform community leaders of the challenges rural schools are facing. Board members will try to attend and will invite other community leaders as well.
—approved the second and final reading of grading and report card policies.
—received Section J policies on students in order to review them individually prior to board work session discussion.

Southwestern Sends Men's Hoops To 3-7
After a 2-1/2 hour bus ride to Chula Vista, the Pasadena City College men's basketball team opened its game at Southwestern as if it didn't leave the vehicle. The Jaguars ran out to a 12-1 lead and went on to defeat the Lancers, 85-80, in a non-conference game Friday night.
PCC dropped to 3-7 overall while Southwestern improved to 7-6. The Lancers have not won two games in a row this season.
Sophomore guard Mike Swanegan led the Lancers with 20 points while Bryce Clifton had a strong overall performance on 16 points, seven rebounds, five steals and four assists. Evan Brooks added 16 points, drilling four 3-pointers. Forward Alec Tatum contributed 10 points and six rebounds.
Through 10 games this season, Swanegan is averaging a team-best 20.4 points.
Next up for Pasadena is the Imperial Valley Holiday Classic held Dec. 28-30. The Lancers open with a first round contest v. Fullerton College at 2 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 28. PCC plays either the winner or the loser of the Imperial Valley v. College of the Desert game. If it beats Fullerton, Pasadena plays in the tournament championship semifinals at 7 p.m., and if it loses to Fullerton, it would play at 1 p.m. in the consolation bracket.

Please feel free to post your thoughts on Zimbra and Yahoo!!
Please feel free to post your thoughts on Zimbra and Yahoo!!
At first blush, to me it doesn't sound like a good thing. I don't really care for Yahoo that much, they aren't really in the business of developing software for sale, so I can only presume they wanted to beef up their own yahoo mail system. I would guess they would be less inclined to support competitors to yahoo's webmail (current ISP customers).
This doesn't follow Yahoo's business model, except for the hosting of personal e-mail or charging for business clients. Yahoo isn't very friendly with the Open Source movement.
Yahoo likes to charge for everything, including inclusion into their search results ($50 / year).
I am very disappointed this transaction occurred, although I would have approved if I owned Zimbra shares . Nevertheless, I would have preferred Google buy Zimbra. Google does a good job of keeping things open. For example, look at their acquisition of FeedBurner... Good bye fees, hello premium services.
At least do me a favor and open up the iSync app for Mac for the Open Source version of Zimbra?
Meh....I don't like Yahoo! either...
We're a paying customer for Network Edition.
If it doesn't negatively impact the development and support teams at Zimbra...then I'm indifferent. If we have to rebrand all our support info and documentation because the Zimbra name is no longer valid....that will be a PITA.
If support and the product itself goes to pot due to Yahoo! mismanagement after we've gone through the immense headache of migrating thousands of users....we are going to be freaking pissed to say the least.
I guess we'll see...the proof is in the pudding as they say.
Good Luck Zimbra...(did I say I hate buyouts?)
We have all heard the rumors over the past year about Microsoft's interest in Yahoo.
Just imagine if they actually decided to buy Yahoo...
Hello Scalix.
Yes, I have reviewed their YUI.
So, what else have they done to enhance the Open Source Community?
That is a serious hunk of cash
/about/yahoo_acquires_zimbra_qa.htmlWhat are the terms and conditions of the transaction?
-Under the terms of the agreement, Yahoo! will acquire Zimbra for approximately $350M in cash.
Zimbra is so damn cool - Yodel Anecdotal - http://yodel.yahoo.com/2007/09/17/zimbra-is-so-damn-cool/
Bet the yahoo zimlets will get a boost
Course the 'google custom search' in the upper right of the site will have to change too...
Guess this list also just changed: http://mydigimedia.com/images/WhoOwnsWhat.jpg

It sounds like a great thing for Zimbra and its employees. It doesn't bother me as long as we don't end up with Yahoo advertising (especially in the open source version) and anything remotely close to the Yahoo toolbar/messenger/etc. If Zimbra stays like it is and stays on track with what has already been planned but with more financing and resources, great
I read a few weeks ago that Yahoo was bringing out a new version of their webmail that included "mashups" to hover over things like e-mail addresses and phone numbers. At the time I figured they'd just stolen your ideas, but I guess I should have realized then that this deal was probably already in the works..
Is it fair to say that their new webmail (which I haven't seen yet) is based on your technology?

WASHINGTON – The New Orleans Hornets are changing their name to the New Orleans Pelicans, as early as the 2013-14 season, Yahoo! Sports first reported.
The team considered Krewe and Brass as potential nicknames, the site reports.
The Hornets have planned to change their name since their owner, Tom Benson, bought the team in April. Benson owns the rights to the Pelicans name.
Michael Jordan, who owns the Charlotte Bobcats, says he'd be interested in bringing the name Hornets to North Carolina.
The pelican is the state bird of Louisiana. Benson bought the name saying he'd like to see it changed to something more fitting for the state. There is word the team's colors might change as well.

|Extension agents conduct field work
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Golden Plains Area Extension agents are busy this season performing on-farm research addressing a number of production issues. Examples include crop variety trials, pest monitoring and weed management research trials.
Variety trials are established for wheat, corn, sorghum, sunflowers and other crops. Wheat field days have recently been held and will be harvested in the coming weeks.
Spring planted crops will have field days throughout the summer so keep an eye on the Golden Plains Ag Newsletter for dates. The newsletter can be accessed online at http://goldenplains.colostate.edu or stop by the local Extension office to get a copy.
One example of on-farm research underway this season is a herbicide trial in rangeland grasses. A weed research site in Sedgwick County involves numerous CSU scientists evaluating effectiveness of herbicide mixes on persistent range weeds, including Ron Meyer, who helped layout the research plot. The cooperating landowner is Gary Lancaster.
Assefa Gebre-Amlak has initiated the Pest Alert Program for 2013 and has begun monitoring pheromone traps throughout the Golden Plains area. Watch for Gebre-Amlak's press releases describing when pests in the area are active and scouting and control measures are warranted.

A woman is behind bars after lawmen say she tried to run over a firefighter with her vehicle and led law enforcement on a chase.
Jones County deputies were on the scene of a car crash on Ten Mile Fork Road about 4 a.m. when they say 18-year-old Miesha Fenner drove by, attempted to run over a firefighter directing traffic, ran over a traffic cone, blew a stop sign and sped off at speeds in excess of 95 miles per hour.
Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, but they say Fenner continued recklessly down Highway 17, Killis Murphy Road and back on Highway 17 through Pollocksville and beyond. Lawmen say Fenner's vehicle almost crashed twice.
Deputies ran the plate and found out the vehicle was stolen. The chase ended on Highway 17, just north of Maysville, a short time later. Fenner, from Suffolk, Virginia, was taken into custody.
She is charged with felony fleeing to elude arrest, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, assault on a firefighter, aggressive driving, failure to heed lights and siren, hit & run, resist, delay and obstruct, failure to obey traffic officer, failure to stop at duly erected stop sign, no operators license and speeding.
Fenner was also served with a fugitive warrant for both larceny and grand larceny. She is currently being housed in the Craven County Detention Facility under a $40,000 Bond and awaiting extradition to Virginia.

yeah i've heard alot of good things about the 7 mm as well.
yeah i've heard alot of good things about the 7 mm as well.
I would go with Browing and the 30-06. Ammo cost on the belteds is too much compared to the 30-06. I do have Browning A-bolts and they are 1/2 in guns at 100yds. I couldn't get ride of the Win model 70 fast enough to suit me. The safety was noisy and it would not shoot as acurate as the a-bolts. My Brownings have the boss systems and that works. I don't own a 30-06, I shoot the 7mm with 160 Accubonds and 168 Bergers. I use the 243wssm for deer and the Rem 700 22-250 for coyotes, etc. One all around gun would be 30-06 for me.
xtreme, what does that boss system do? Also i know the a bolts are more expensive than the x bolts but whats the difference? Do you load your own ammo?
I have the BOSS system on my 300 Win Mag and I think it really improves the accuracy of your rifle. I don't claim to understand exactly how it works but I think it basically takes the vibrations out of your barrel by acting as a weight. It is adjustable to the specific grain of bullet you are shooting and you can fine tune it from there. I shot 3 rounds at 200 yards the other day at the range and 2 of them were overlapping and the other was within a 1/2". This was with cheap Winchester Super X ammo, the hand loads I just started shooting seem even better but I haven't shot them out past 100 yards yet. The BOSS system also significantly reduces recoil, I would say my 300 has less recoil than my dad's 270, but it also significantly increases the noise of the rifle. I shot 3 quick shots at a cow elk the first year I had the gun and it really rang my bell, my ears were ringing the rest of the day.
Just found this with a quick google search, explains a lot better than I did on what the BOSS really does.
How the BOSS Works
Barrel vibrations are the primary cause of rifle inaccuracy. Every time a rifle is fired, barrel vibrations are set in motion. These vibrations occur in all directions, even back and forth along the axis of the barrel. They are influenced by many factors such as bullet type, bullet weight, primers, different powders and even barrel configurations.
The BOSS (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System) is an adjustable weight that alters rifle barrel vibrations. By adjusting the weight on the BOSS, you can tune your rifle to specific ammunition, allowing a bullet to consistently exit the rifle muzzle at the optimum point in barrel vibration. At this optimum point, either at the peak or valley of a vibration wave, the rifle barrel is momentarily motionless. The suggested sweet spots (found on a separate sheet supplied with this manual) are the starting points for determining the optimum accuracy of your BOSS-equipped Model 70. Once the true sweet spot is determined for a given ammunition, your rifle will consistently deliver extraordinarily tight groups. The BOSS allows you to tune your rifle to your ammunition to get the optimum accuracy for all available factory loads.
When adjusted to the sweet spot, the BOSS will compensate for slight deviations in ammunition velocity. The BOSS will not, however, compensate for poor shooting or flyers caused by low quality bullets and ammunition.
To obtain the highest level of accuracy from your rifle it is recommended that the rifle bore be cleaned every 25 to 30 rounds. See cleaning the rifle bore section of this booklet for cleaning procedures.
Muzzle Brake Feature
The unique exhaust hole pattern on the BOSS provides considerable recoil reduction. Recoil reduction of the BOSS ranges from 30% to 50% depending on caliber, weight of rifle, etc.
You will experience an increase in noise and concussion (muzzle blast) when a BOSS equipped rifle is fired. Hearing protectors (shooting ear plugs or muffs) should always be worn to guard against hearing damage when shooting a BOSS equipped rifle. Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles. Always keep a safe distance between the muzzle of your firearm and any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting shells could inflict serious injury.
Jay the x bolt probably has a better trigger than the a bolt, I have not researched it very much since I will be using the a bolt anyway. Trigger could be softer on my guns.
The reason they are louder is the brake, I have tried replacing the brake with a CR which decreases the noise but now I am back to using the brake and ear protection, which you should use anyway. You can find how to use the boss on line. When you have it all done you can switch ammo and still have an accurate round.
One thing hasn't been mentioned is glass, and that may be a big part of a finished hunting gun.
elktracker, thanks for the input man. So i guess its worth it to go with a boss system on it...
xtreme, good point...I have always had Leupold scopes on my rifles but am actually considering a nikon monarch with the BDC reticle for this one. Any input??? I am curious about the new redfield line. They've always had good products for the price, but not sure on the new stuff.
Either way would be okay. I looked through an old Lepould VX II and a Monarch at dusk tonight and maybe the Monarch was a little better. Not a fair comparison. The VX II is about a $100 less and will work well, but the Monarch starts at 2.5 and goes to 10. Choice would be because of money. I have a VX-7 on one of the 7mm and a Z5 on the 243 wssm, a lot more money but I used a VX II for years, as a matter of fact I made a 467yd shot on a mule deer in Ne. with it. I hope this helps you.
7 mag is a great all around cartridge and a Savage Weather Warrior is awfully hard to beat, especially for the price.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
I would personally prefer either the 7 mag or any of the WSM calibers to the 270 or 30-06 for an all-around western rifle. I have a 270 and a 30-06, both are great rounds and will take any game with a well placed shot. My reasoning for the magnums is that they will deliver a higher BC bullet at higher velocity, making long range or windy day hits easier. I picked the magnums I did because they have adequate power for elk with similar recoil to a 30-06. The bigger 300 and 338 magnums are great rifles, just more recoil than I want to deal with. I use a 270WSM A-bolt for deer and will be getting an A-bolt 300WSM before my next elk hunt. The 300 will get a limbsaver pad and muzzle brake.

I'm developing a zimlet for the integration with our crm. The task is "simple": drag and drop an email on the zimlet, the zimlet check some info with a custom php page via json, and then send supplementary info ( requested via dialog window ) to the php page.
The php page must download the attachment, and here I've got a problem. I need to authenticate for downloading the attachment, but I can't use username and password for every client, because I can't use ssl, for now, and the zimlet is designed to run on users Zimbra Desktop, the zimbra server and the CRM in on the cloud.
I've tried to extract the auth token, but the js side ( I don't have the jsp side ) seems to not found any cookie... It's because the page is the zimbra desktop page, open on browser ?
I've read the preauth page, but don't seems what I need ( or what I can do ). I wanted to use cookie, if possible...
For now, my zimlet use:
- jQuery
- crypto.js ( from google )

Birth Place: Brooklyn, New York, USA
Gould's parents had emigrated from Eastern Europe and settled in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, NY, where Gould was born Elliot Goldstein on Aug. 29, 1938. His father worked in the garment business, while his mother kept the household in order. As a student at P.S. 247, Gould's younger years were clouded by the pressure to succeed and enormous parental expectations that would always stay with him. At the age of eight, his parents put him into dance classes to help cure him of a shy personality - an outlet that worked. Moving on to Manhattan's Professional Children's School across the East River, Gould found a quick fascination with tap dancing, which he continued to hone while enjoying... Continue Bio >>

|Open Source Matters First Quarter 2012 Goals Update
|Written by Paul Orwig
|Monday, 09 July 2012 17:15
The final part of the 2012 goal setting/budget planning process suggests that each leadership team publish quarterly updates on progress for each of their major goals. Following through on this part of the process is important-it promotess increased openness and transparency, it strengthens accountability and trust between the project's leadership and the community, and it recognizes the volunteer contributors who are the most important resource for our project's continued growth and success.
Here is a summary of progress that was made during the first quarter for Open Source Matters' (OSM) four major 2012 goals, along with the names of key contributors for each of the items. Sincerest thanks go out to everyone who contributed to the progress that was made on these goals during the first quarter!
Steady progress on these goals has continued during the second quarter, and we hope to publish a blog with those updates by August 1.
Simplify Trademark rules and team processes
Reduce communication channels and improve public facing communications processes
Research and implement plan to increase sponsorship income by $20,000 from 2011
Launch first Joomla! World Conference and improve support for Joomla! Days
Work on other OSM led initiatives
While the primary focus for this blog is on progress made during the first quarter on OSM's four major 2012 goals, work has also been underway on a number of other important OSM led initiatives. Here is a list of some of these other initiatives, along with the OSM board members who worked on them during the first quarter:

do people use tree stands or ground blinds while hunting or mostly hide behind a bush and stalk?
do people use tree stands or ground blinds while hunting or mostly hide behind a bush and stalk?
Be a little more specific on your question. There can be a bounce of different answers depending on the animal your hunting.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
I have a feeling with a western dominant forum like this your main response will be spot and stalk. Which is my preferred method. I dont have patience for my luck to happen. I prefer to make my own.
Though I do prefer to spot and stalk. I have found myself using a climbing treestand often the last 3-4 years. It just depends on the area I am hunting. It tends to be pretty hot and dry during the archery season here in CA so alot of time I will set up on trail leading to water. It does take some serious patience though. Good luck!
I hide behind a bush.
I've never used either, still hunting or spot and stalk are my methods. I'm not good at sitting in one spot for very long.
All Depends on the Hunting Situation and what Your hunting. And What You are hunting with.


text: I am looking at purchasing a new spotting scope that is a compact model. I haven't used spotting scopes a lot due to the areas I usually hunt not being open enough to use them. If I were wanting to get a compact scope with a small tripod would everyone recommend a straight or angled eye piece and why? Thanks for all of your advice guys.

Darn what what a crazy feature...
Without better knowledge of its cause it looks almost like if there's some defect in sensor (design, manufacturing or maybe combination because of sample variation) which allows saturated pixels to spill over and start flooding surrounding pixels.
At least that would fit to problem decreasing at higher ISOs because basically those decrease amount of light received by pixels and hence "amount of pixel's oversaturation."
Might not show in every shot but definitely "car engine goes out if let go to run at certain RPM" level problem.
Basing to number of people downplaying this problem as minor scratch in the paint job looks like retro style Fuji is on its way to gathering religious status.

How to make the right GRC software selection?

Governance, Risk and Compliance software selection process
A client of mine recently asked me about what I have seen as the most effective way to run a selection process. Now I know this may seems a conflict of interest, a GRC solution vendor writing on the GRC software selection process and the need for a GRC platform. Still I think I can give you some dos and donts on a GRC software selection process since I have been there many times.
Let's start with the need for a GRC software platform. Why do you need such?
Of course investing in a solution needs a compelling event. Either the cost for risk management and compliance becomes very high, or the process takes too long to be responsive to stakeholders or the 'in control' statement cannot be guaranteed any longer. Also external regulators can advise you to implement software.
Before you start thinking about a GRC platform carefully review the risk and compliance maturity level of your organization and the scope of the problem. This will help you make the judgment between 2 approaches. First approach is what we call 'point solution', second approach is 'enterprise solution'.
The first approach, Point Solution, is best when the compelling event is there but the scope is limited to one area. On a single point of your GRC activities you have a pain that must be resolved in a fairly short term. In this case you can search for specific capabilities with specific knowledge. You can make a selection of vendors that operate in the area where you have the pain and select the partner that understands your area. Of course you might want to consider your ambition on the long term. If your long term ambition is Enterprise wide GRC integration you might still look at enterprise vendors and use the specific area as a 'pilot' for further extension.
The second approach, Enterprise Solution, is best when the compelling event is on the integration of Governance, Risk and Compliance. The term risk and control convergence often comes up here. This approach requires a lot more work than the point solution and may have cultural impact. You might consider a second party to help you go through this project. A second party (consulting firm) can help you in making critical decisions and in reviewing your current (silo based) approach to GRC. They can keep the holistic view for you. Every silo needs to be reviewed and mapped to the enterprise approach. This will not come without discussions and sacrifices!
So the need is there, now how to make your selection?
In the first point solution approach there are just two considerations, short term or long term? In case of the short term do NOT select an enterprise vendor and go for the right point solution. Advantages are lower cost and shorter implementation time. Second consideration, long term, means a selection between enterprise GRC software vendors and consider the first phase as a pilot for the enterprise approach. Still you might want to involve a consulting firm with specific knowledge.
In the second enterprise approach you will go for an enterprise vendor. This is where you want to be careful in setting up your selection. I personally have seen many of these selection processes since I have been in such selections. And this is where I want to give you some guidance to save you a lot of time and money.
First do NOT expect the enterprise vendors to differentiate on functionality. The GRC software market has made an evolution in the last 10 years that have resulted in a fairly high mature software market. So a 'beauty contest' is a waste of money and resources. Outcome will be equal for all vendors and you will be stuck between your user community and the vendors in the process. You might get questions from your management team why you spend so much time and resources without any outcome.
Secondly involve your end users in the selection process early, but do not expect 20 people working in silos to come to one single conclusion. Again you will end up in a long discussion with no outcome. Have a small group of people (3 preferably) to make the selection.
Thirdly make your selection criteria known upfront and make them measurable. Also involve the vendors in the process and be open to them. If you are open and honest you will get transparent, open and honest answers. If you hide, vendors will hide! Criteria should be based on experience in your market, understanding of your organization, size and financial stability, ability to deliver in time and within budget, alignment of implementation approach to your implementation methodology and the cultural fit.
Again this may look preaching to the choir but I hope I just saved you time and money that you can invest in your implementation.

I love this cream. I primarily perform therapeutic massage and it gives me great glide while allowing me to access deeper tissue and adhesions. I've never had a client complain about having skin reactions or being allergic to any ingredients. Most clients love the way their skin feels after the massage because it soaks in really nice and does not leave an overly greasy residue.
Not at all what I expected. The description is very misleading. It isn't a cream whatsoever. It is a creamy lotion.
Great product.
I was excited to use this product because it is organic. However once I started using it I was very disappointed! The consistency of it is very greasy and doesn't glide at all! It dries up quickly and becomes almost sticky. You have to re-apply over and over so you are using way to much cream and still don't have a good gliding surface.
I was looking for quality pumpable cream, but felt that this product acted more like a lotion than a cream. I had to keep applying layer because it would dry up and get sticky.

Third Annual International Speedsters Trials and Reunion - Fun with FoursWritten by on December 7, 2009 Contributors: Blaine Braziel, Bob Mays, Andrew Elias Speedsters Reunite At Speedway's Museum Of American Speed
Forget everything you think you know about "old-school" hot rods.
Long before the proliferation of hot rodding in the late '40s and '50s-heck, well before the term "hot rod" was even coined-thousands of American performance junkies itched their need for speed in stripped-down Model Ts and As with hopped-up Ford T, A, and B four-cylinder engines. Such speedsters kicked up dust on fairgrounds, racetracks, and country roads across the nation in the years before World War II-many even before World War I.
These early hop-up efforts were celebrated last July in Lincoln, Nebraska, as the Smith Collection Museum of American Speed-with sponsorship from Speedway Motors-welcomed the Third Annual International Speedsters Trials and Reunion. It was hosted by Smith Collection founders "Speedy" Bill and Joyce Smith and attracted dozens of speedsters and nearly 100 enthusiasts from around the nation.
Participating vehicles represented the full speedster spectrum; from bare bones machines consisting of little more than a chassis, cowl, floor, and engine, to more sophisticated efforts with streamlined bodies crafted from steel, aluminum, or sometimes even wood. The four-cylinder engines also ran the gamut from essentially stock to significantly modified. Many were equipped with vintage-speed equipment and OHV conversions from the likes of Rajo, Roof, Riley, and Cragar-the pioneers of the aftermarket performance industry.
In true speedster spirit, the reunion had plenty of driving activities. This included a 90-mile rally style road tour on scenic two-lane highways, plus an exciting hill climb competition (yes, a bona fide hill was found in Nebraska!). The hill climb was coordinated with assistance from Ford A Speed Technology and generated some pretty serious-but friendly-competition on the 530-foot inclined course. Olive Moore ultimately earned "King of the Hill" bragging rights by clocking 66 mph in her bright purple '27 Ford roadster, which runs a Riley four-port head and dual carbs on its Model B engine.
Friday evening found the speedsters caravanning to the nearby town of Ceresco for a car show and parade commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Swanson Ford dealership. That was followed up on Saturday morning with performance evaluations on a chassis dyno. The dyno results were interesting to watch, with rear-wheel power output ranging from 19 hp on a nearly stock Model T engine, to an impressive 94 hp generated through the quick-change rearend on Ron Mosher's rowdy Model A roadster, which sports a Model B engine with a Cragar head, dual carbs, and many other tricks.
With technical seminars and tours of the Museum of American Speed rounding out the schedule, the Speedster Reunion offered much more action than a typical lawn chair street rod show. And if the smiles on participants' faces were any indication, we suspect that these speedster fans will be looking to reunite again soon at the Museum of American Speed.

The Friday hill climb was great fun. Olive Moore's purple '27 roadster is a perennial hill climb favorite. It's got plenty of pep thanks to the four-port Riley head and dual Strombergs on its Model B mill. An S-10, five-speed transmission sends power to the 3.0-geared 9-inch rear. Olive hit 66 mph on the 1/10th-mile hill climb course.Dave Coleman and Sam Myers got into the true speedster spirit with mechanics coveralls, leather helmets, and driving goggles. Dave's wood-bodied speedster has a Model T engine with a Roof 16-valve head and Winfield updraft carb.We really like the looks of Randy Braddock's bare-metal Model A roadster. It runs a B engine with a Snyder head and a single 97 carb. Chassis upgrades include a Columbia two-speed rearend, '41 juice brakes, and split front wishbone.Art Moore-Olive's husband-was another force to be reckoned with on the hill. His bright yellow boat-tailed speedster reached 60 mph thanks to a four-port Riley head and dual Stromberg 48s on its B engine. Art's 'banger is linked to a 904 TorqueFlite transmission and a quick-change rear.A look at the hill climb course from the starting line. The flagman (who also served as emcee) made sure to point his microphone at the cars' exhausts so he could broadcast the 'banger roar.
Squint your eyes and you might think you were transported back to the roaring '20s watching Fred Houston's '17 Laurel speedster climb the hill. The single-seater sports a '16 Model T engine with a Roof 16-valve head and Winfield carburetor.What better place for a 'banger than in a 'bucket! With a Thomas cylinder head, Ansen intake, Stromberg carb, and custom tube headers, Eric Hoppe's four-cylinder makes plenty of beans to push his T roadster around.Participants had a chance to run their cars on a chassis dyno to see just how much power they were putting to the wheels. Output ranged from 19 hp on a nearly stock Model T engine, to an impressive 94 hp from the Model B engine in Ron Mosher's rowdy Model A roadster.When does four equal eight? When you install two four-cylinder engines in tandem in your speedster, like Gary LeFever has done.Don Cusack's speedster sports a shapely aluminum body and a Model T engine with a Laurel head, Holley carb, and four-speed transmission.Brian Olsen showed of his tidy blue speedster at the Friday evening car show in Ceresco. It features a handmade body and a Riley two-port head on its Model B engine.Here's a look at the Model B 'banger in Mosher's Model A. It sports a Cragar head, dual carbs, and many other tricks.Between driving activities, reunion participants had a great opportunity to thoroughly explore the Smith Collection Museum of American Speed. The museum has a number of speedsters on display, as well as hundreds of early four-cylinder engines wearing just about every example of early speed equipment imaginable.

The 2011 AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine ChallengeWritten by on November 18, 2011 A variety of big-blocks are delivered to the Mopar Nationals
Each year at Mopar Muscle magazine we host a contest for engine builders across the country to highlight their skills by competing in the annual AMSOIL/Mopar Muscle Engine Challenge. The challenge begins at the Performance Racing Industry Trade Show in Orlando, Florida, where the rules are outlined and applications are handed out. Engine shops then have two months to apply to be in the contest, and we choose eight competitors to build engines, which are then delivered to the Mopar Nationals, and tested on the engine dyno at Comp Cams the following month.
In previous years we've featured most popular Mopar engine combinations, including Hemis, big-blocks, and small-blocks, and we try to keep the contest interesting by changing the rules slightly each year. This year the challenge features the big-block Mopar engine, and to ensure these are real-world engines like our readers would build, we've limited the budget for each engine to $5,500. On the dyno at Comp, the engines will be run on Rockett Brand 93 octane fuel, and judged by their peak horsepower divided into the cubic inch displacement of the engine for a horsepower per cubic inch factor. By limiting the budget, the engine builders in this year's contest will be forced to spend carefully, putting money where it counts to make power, while not sacrificing durability.
There's a good chance one of these engine builders has put together an engine that would be perfect for your Mopar, so be sure to follow along as we dyno these engines and then tear them down to see what parts were used to make power. In previous contests engine builders have impressed us with stout numbers, using moderately and economically priced parts to achieve their goals. Any of the engine builders in our contest would be happy to discuss, build, and even dyno your next Mopar engine, and can ship your engine to you no matter where you live in the U.S. or abroad, so be sure to give one of them a call about your next project.
Seven of this year's eight competitors made our Friday deadline, delivering their engines to the Mopar Nationals where they were on display for the weekend. We're sure some of you recognized several of the competitors in this year's contest, and we have some newcomers to the 2011 Engine Challenge as well. At the Mopar Nationals, engine builders were on hand to discuss their combinations and speak to our readers regarding their Mopar engines. This month we'll give you a quick rundown of the competitors and their combinations, and be sure to follow future issues of Mopar Muscle to find out who wins and how much power these engines make.

B&G's Speed and Machine
Greenwood, Indiana
Engine Builder Bill Hess of B&G's Speed and Machine in Greenwood, Indiana, built a 451 cubic inch low-deck for the contest, using Indy cylinder heads, Ross pistons, and Eagle connecting rods. This engine may be slightly over budget, but should make impressive power on the dyno.HP Engines
Norwood, North Carolina
HP Engines is a newcomer to our contest, using a 383 crankshaft in their factory block for a displacement of 406 cubic inches. Engine builder Hollis Page's combination also utilizes a Comp camshaft, Icon pistons, and Eagle H-beam connecting rods, as well as Edelbrock heads and intake combined with a Holley carburetor. We're eager to see how this entry performs on the dyno at Comp.Hinkle Performance Engines
London, Kentucky
Another first time entrant to our Engine Challenge is Hinkle Performance Engines from London, Kentucky. Using one of the smallest Mopar big-blocks, the 361, engine builder Buck Hinkle chose a Comp cam, Eagle connecting rods, Mahle pistons, and factory 915 casting cylinder heads for his relatively small big-block. Remember, horsepower per cubic inch within a budget will win this year's contest, so small displacement engines may have an advantage.LaRoy Engines
Challis, Idaho
LaRoy engines placed well in the 2009 challenge, as well as in the Dynomax Power to the Wheels chassis dyno contest. Known for their prowess with factory cast-iron cylinder heads, Jim LaRoy and his son Cody prepped a set of 906 castings for their entry this year, using a 400 block and 4.15 stroke 440Source crankshaft for a net displacement of 500 cubic inches. Reading one of their dyno sheets from a lower compression test engine, we expect LaRoy Engines to post some stout number in this year's contest.Mid America Racing Engines
Washington, Iowa
Engine builder David Bruns of Mid America Racing Engines is a prior contest winner, always bringing a powerful and competitive engine to the challenge. This year his big-block claims 450 cubic inches, and utilizes Ross Pistons, RPM connecting rods, and 440 Source Stealth aluminum cylinder heads. We love the variety in this year's contest, and look forward to seeing what kind of power per cubic inch these big-blocks will make.Prism Racing
Covington, Georgia
This is the first year Prism Racing has entered our challenge, but engine builder Darren Tedder is no stranger to powerful Mopars. For our contest, Darren brought a 451 cubic inch engine topped with factory cast-iron cylinder heads, and filled with JE Pistons, Eagle rods, and a Comp camshaft. We expect some good numbers from Prism Racing and look forward to seeing Darren and his crew when we dyno these engines at Comp's Memphis facility.T & B'z Race Engines
Monroe, Wisconsin
Husband and Wife team of Tom and Brenda Foley built the T & B'z Race Engines entry for our annual dyno contest, using a factory 400 block and a factory steel crankshaft to net a displacement of 426 cubic inches. The Foleys chose 440Source's Stealth aluminum cylinder heads, along with Diamond Racing forged pistons, Harland Sharp roller rockers, and a Comp roller cam for their engine, and should be very competitive on the dyno at Comp.AMSOIL is the title sponsor of the Engine Challenge, providing their synthetic lubricants for each of the contest engines. So far, none of the engines in our contest have had any oil related failures while using AMSOIL products.

The Cobb County school board voted 4-3 Wednesday morning not to move forward with Kathleen Angelucci's request to proceed with censuring colleague David Banks.
In other business, the board unanimously approved hiring 30 teachers to alleviate overcrowding in schools; to allow retired administrators to serve on the three-person panel for tribunals when board members are unable to attend; and to hire Christine M. Dinizio as Dowell Elementary's new principal.
Angelucci said after the meeting that the "censure could have been an important means of distancing this board from Mr. Banks' counterproductive and unethical behavior."
"It was imperative that a very clear message be conveyed to every citizen, staff member and employee that they can and should report to the superintendent and board chair all violations of Board Protocols, Board Policies and Code of Ethics witnessed, without there ever being fear of retribution of any kind," she said.
Board Chair Scott Sweeney, Vice Chair David Morgan, Lynnda Eagle and Banks opposed her request.
Banks said only that the vote "was an appropriate decision."
Among the reasons Angelucci cited in requesting the censure were the allegations that Banks used his position on the board for personal gain; criticized colleagues and staff in his constituent newsletter, David's Grapevine, which he sends out on the district's network; and refused to abide by board decisions.
Eagle asked how Banks' actions were any different than board member Alison Bartlett's, who spoke at a forum over the weekend announcing a school calendar proposal even though the district has formed a committee to tackle that task.
"It's repetitive behavior," Bartlett said of Banks' actions. "We have clear policies that we have repeatedly agreed to."
Stultz, who voted in favor of the censure, asked if there was any way for the district to move forward with a censure without the hearing, but board attorney Clem Doyle said there wasn't.
Toward the end of the discussion, Sweeney asked board members if they agreed that none of them should be at a school without an invitation. Only Banks said no.
"Well, you have six members who feel differently," Sweeney said.
In another vote, the board unanimously agreed to hire 30 teachers to help relieve overcrowded classrooms throughout the district.
"The additional teachers are all due to the unexpected growth in the district," Hinojosa said. "We had almost 1,300 more students than projected … at almost every campus."
The district will initially take $3 million from the reserve fund to pay salaries for these additions and will pay the account back after Full-Time Equivalent funds come in from the state in either April or May, Chief Financial Officer Mike Addison said.
Sweeney asked if the district knew what caused the increase in students, but Assistant Superintendent Dr. Cheryl Hungerford could not say. She believed some of them were from Imagine International Academy of Mableton that was closed after last school year but was not sure where the others came from.
Sweeney asked that the district look into the enrollment growth.
"We need something in place to try and address this down the road," he said.
The board also unanimously agreed to allow non–board members to serve on the three-person panels for tribunals.
The request came from Eagle, who said that the hearings are very timely and that the district is often unable to find three board members who can participate. She wanted the option for the district to contact retired administrators to serve if needed.
These individuals would be paid for their service, but that amount was not disclosed during the meeting. Additionally, board members could not say how much training, if any, those selected would undergo before being selected to serve.
In other business, the board approved hiring 15-year teaching veteran Dinizio to be Dowell Elementary School's new principal. She has been an assistant principal at Sanders Elementary in Austell since 2007 and will start at Dowell on Monday.
Dinizio started her education career as a teacher at Garrett Middle in 1997. She taught for nine years and served for one year as a math facilitator at the elementary level before being an assistant principal.
Her salary will increase to $89,068 from $72,851, according to the district.
The school's former principal, Janis Komara, resigned from the position last month for reasons the district will not release to the public. Former Cobb Schools Deputy Superintendent Alice Stouder has been serving as the school's interim principal.
The board also learned more about the $20 million to $30 million in Race to the Top funds that Hinojosa is interested in the district pursuing.
Chief Academic Officer Dr. Judi Jones gave a brief presentation about the Oct. 30 deadline, the four-year time period in which it would be distributed to the district, what they are required to do with the grant money, the focus and goals of the grant and how to sustain the programs and staff positions after the funds run out.
Angelucci asked what strings were attached to the grant, to which Jones said only that teacher and leader evaluation would need to be implemented one year earlier than required by the state.
Bartlett said she was concerned about funding the new programs after the grant ends.
Hinojosa said he understood the concerns but hopes the grant and required programs change the way the district operates.
"It gives us an opportunity to do something different with somebody else's money," he said.
The board also discussed, but took no action on, approving short and long term targets for the newly revised Strategic Plan and the document's format; a recommendation to extend a $900,000 contract for digital video surveillance cameras at elementary and high schools; the reduction of one furlough day sometime towards the end of the school year; the superintendent's evaluation form; and a Memorandum of Agreement with the Georgia Department of Education regarding Cobb's four "Focus Schools."

Pulau Tengah, or Middle Island as it translates to, is another must visit spot when touring the Karimunjawa archipelago, located off the northern coast of Central Java.
Measuring only approximately 4 hectares, Tengah Island is a small island. But what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in exquisite and natural beauty both on land and underwater. Karimunjawa, which literally means "a stone's throw from Java," consists of 27 small islands located in the Java Sea, just off the coast of Semarang, Central Java.
Tengah Island is a fairly flat island, with the entire expanse of its tiny landmass covered in sandy white beaches, strewn with chunks of coral and dotted with coconut trees and sea pines. Bright blue waters enclose the island, filled with table corals and brain corals and visible beneath the surface even at a depth of 10 meters.
Compared to the other small islands in the Karimunjawa island chain, Tengah island is more complete with facilities, accommodations , and snorkeling and diving gear, making it an excellent choice for group excursions, family holidays, or even just for regular beach lovers. A long, wooden pier extends out to sea, allowing fishing boats to dock on the island. Tengah Island is owned by PT. Raja Besi, a steel company, and run by a married couple who are the guardians and caretakers of the island.
Accommodations on Tengah Island include two resorts, built in the shade of palm trees, both of which are simple, yet nice, although many prefer to stay on the larger and more complete Karimunjawa Island. As Tengah Island is one of the more remote islands, it is possible to just walk in and find a room on the spot.Here are some of the hotels and resorts located on Karimunjawa Island itself.
Karimunjawa Inn is located in Bukit Kapuran, approximately 500 meters from the beach, and ideal for those who desire peace and seclusion. The spacious rooms come complete with color cable television, air conditioning, daily cleaning, mineral water and toiletries, while the additional facilities include jet ski rentals, glass bottom boats, a restaurant, motorbike and bicycle rentals, snorkeling equipment, tour packages and laundry service.Karimunjawa InnJalan Kapuran Karimunjawa, Central JavaPhone: 62- 297 – 312253Email: firstname.lastname@example.com: www.karimunjawainn.comBlue Laguna Inn is situated conveniently on the beach with rooms complete with air-conditioning, TV and private bathrooms.

The best time to visit is during the hot season between May and August.
Maintain the pollution-free environment of Tengah Island by not littering, but disposing of your trash properly in the proper place.
Remember to bring any needed medical supplies.
Enjoy your stay!
To get to Tengah Island, first fly to Semarang in Central Java. Achmad Yani Airport in Semarang is internationally accessible from Singapore via Batavia Air, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia via Air Asia. Garuda Indonesia flies daily from Jakarta to Semarang. Other Domestic flights are also available from Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar, Bandung, Banjarmasin, and other smaller cities around Indonesia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achmad_Yani_International_Airport)
You can also take the train to Semarang from Jakarta, Surabaya or Bandung.
From Semarang, head to Jepara, the seaport, after which you must catch a ferry to the main Karimunjawa Island: Karimunjawa. Once in Karimunjawa, you must catch another smaller boat for a 1 ½ hour trip to Tengah Island.

text: It seems like a lot of $$ to give up and not hunt to try and build bonus points for the LEs. But, if a guy can get into an area and work a place where the general hunting is decent and can go most years it wouldn't be a bad way to go. If the general hunting is tough then I don't see it being worth the money to keep either not going or having crummy general hunting as you say, while waiting on a LE tag.
