text: Thinking about visiting Greece for your next holiday? The region of Macedonia is one of the most visited parts of the country, containing popular destinations such as Halkidiki, Thassos, Kavala, Thessaloniki, and the towering Mount Olympus. A former kingdom of Alexander the Great, today Greek Macedonia has many great hotels. Whether you want to laze on beautiful beaches, explore fascinating ancient sites, discover the abundance of local wildlife, dine on rich and tasty cuisine, or have fun and frolics with friends, Macedonia offers a great mix for everyone. It is perfect for couples looking for a romantic haven, families wanting to entertain the kids, and friends who want to chill out, unwind, and explore. Known for its lovely beaches, Thessaloniki is perfect for those who want to swim in the clear ocean, bathe on golden sands, and enjoy the cultural atmosphere. It was the birthplace of many of Greece's greatest scholars, artists, musicians, and poets, and there are many cultural events paying homage to the greats all throughout the year. Halkidiki is another haven for sun worshippers and beach lovers. Mountains, valleys, and cute villages provide plenty of distractions away from the sands, making for a well-rounded trip. Thassos boasts great beaches, dramatic landscapes, and historic sites. For a glimpse of Macedonia's past, pay a visit to Vergina with its Royal Palace and tombs, the ancient religious city of Dion, the extraordinary mosaics at Pella, and the old battlefield of Philippi. Steeped in myths and legends, Mount Olympus offers great hiking and gorgeous views. For some winter fun head to Vigla or Drama, where you can ski to your heart's content. In the summer months the relatively quiet and unspoilt Prespa Lakes are ideal for people who like to get off the beaten track a bit and explore nature at her very best. The waterfront is lined with traditional taverns and fish restaurants. Lake Orestiada is another top spot to enjoy the water, and the pretty town of Kastoria is often said to be one of the most charming towns in the country. The city of Kavala is home to an enormous Byzantine fortress that sits near to a delightful harbour; with views to die for, lively eateries, and heaps of interesting cultural sites, it is easy to see why Kavala is so well loved. All of these wonderful and inspiring places can easily be reached by flying into Thessaloniki Airport . Compare flights today, and take a peek at the terrific selection of accommodation in Greek Macedonia. Image credit Tilemahos Efthimiadis under Creative CommonsHide

8 ways to make end-to-end joints that hold
- • Plain, practical straps
- • Pocket-hole screws
- • Splines provide inner strength
- • Drill and dowel
- • Bevel-cut scarf joints
- • Miter-cut scarf joints
- • Basic half-lap joints
- • Tabled lap joints
Tabled lap joints
This joint combines the strength of interconnecting parts with the large glue surface of a half-lap joint. To make it, add 1/4" to the workpiece width. (You'll remove it later as you fine-tune the joint.) Then measure that distance from the end of the workpiece. Mark both pieces at the same time as described for a basic half-lap joint. Duplicate these markings on a pair of test pieces the thickness of your final workpieces.
Use the same dado setup as for the basic half-lap, but instead set the blade height to exactly one-third the thickness of your workpieces. Then rabbet both parts and the two test pieces from your edge markings to the ends, as shown at right.
Now reset your dado blade height to exactly two-thirds the thickness of the workpieces. Using your scrap pieces, test and adjust the dado depth until the thicker portion toward the end rests within the thinner section so the faces of both pieces are flush, as shown in second photo.
Measure from the shoulder of the dado to a distance that equals one-half the width of the workpiece, and place a mark there. With both pieces clamped against the miter gauge, make two passes to define the width of this second pair of dadoes, as shown in third photo. Then cut the remaining dadoes.
To ensure a tight joint, gradually trim the ends of each piece separately until both fit the deeper dadoes, as shown in bottom photo. Then glue and clamp the pieces for a joint that shows you can stretch a board with style.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- An executive at the Orlando engineering firm where a gunman opened fire says the rampage is "really a mystery to" them.
Jason Rodriguez, a former employee of Reynolds, Smith and Hills, is accused in the shooting that left one person dead and wounded five others.
The firm's chief financial officer Ken Jacobson says "There was nothing to indicate any hard feelings," after Rodriguez was fired two years ago.
Rodriguez told detectives the company had fired him without cause and made him look incompetent.
He told them he had been unemployed for a year and a half before getting a job at a Subway, where he worked until recently.
Police say Rodriguez said he blamed the firm for recent trouble he had receiving unemployment benefits.
Rodriguez has been taken into custody and police say he'll be charged with first-degree murder.
Officials said he could make an initial court appearance today.

The present application is a continuation-in-part of Application Ser. No. 09/947,799, filed on Sep. 6, 2001 now abandoned.
The present invention relates generally to a system and method adapted to dispense various amounts of various substances to a variety of subjects, and more particularly relates to a system and method adapted to dispense various dosages of various medications to a variety of subjects, typically animals.
It is often desirable to treat large numbers of individuals or animals, referred to herein generally as subjects, with a substance, such as a medication or other material, with speed, efficiency, accuracy, and accurate maintenance of records. Often, the amount of the substance to be administered to the subject is based upon the weight of the subject. Generally, this requires weighing the subject and then calculating the amount of the substance based upon the subject's weight. After calculating the required amount, a delivery device, such as a syringe, is filled with the proper amount of the substance to be administered. Such a procedure can be time intensive, particularly when the number of subjects to be treated is great and the weight of the subjects vary.
As an example, the livestock industry requires routine vaccinating, medicating and/or treating of cattle or livestock. There are many diseases and illnesses contracted by livestock that need to be treated with various drugs and medications. Failure to properly treat the animals can result in significant losses to the rancher or feedlot or other party responsible for the livestock. Typically, the livestock is segregated into groups according to general size and weight. Often, the weight variation in a group of subjects is plus or minus 25% of the average weight of the group. Typically, the same amount of medication is administered to each of the subjects within a particular group. As a result, certain of the livestock are under-medicated while certain of the others are over-medicated. In both of these cases, unnecessary expense is incurred. In the case of the over-medicated livestock, the additional cost is from the unneeded, excessive amount of medication being administered while at the same time increasing tissue residue thereby increasing time until slaughter. In the case of the under-medicated livestock, the additional cost results from having to re-medicate the animal additional times, loss in performance, and significantly increased mortality. Furthermore, a decrease in market price is incurred for meat that cannot be sold as "grade" quality because the animal has a history of illness. These under-medication related problems result in an added expense per animal.
The size of the problem in the cattle feeding industry is substantial. In the United States alone, over 23.5 million head of cattle passed through the nation's feedlots in 1999. It is estimated that feedlots have a "sick rate" of approximately 25–30%. It is a common cow/calf procedure to wean and market calves simultaneously. Therefore, calves go from the farm or ranch to an order buyer's pens or an auction barn before ending up at the feedlot. Any livestock holding facility is a "cesspool" for pathogens that affect young cattle. Many of these calves have had only minimal, or sometimes no, vaccinations at home so they are serologically naive. Some of the calves have not received proper nutrition prior to weaning, resulting in immune incompetency. The added stress of weaning, hauling, and being "marketed" while at the same time being exposed to massive doses of pathogenic organisms can lead to resultant sickness and possible death loss. A large percentage of calves fall ill while moving through the feedlot process.
Both bacterial and viral pathogens are involved in feedlot diseases and are manifest as lameness, enteritis, and Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD). The viral pathogens IBR, BVD types I and II, PI3, and BRSV, along with the bacterial pathogens Pasteurella haemolitica, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus somnus, and Corynebacterium spp., all play a part in BRD. Mycoplasma species can cause pneumonia and arthritis. By far, the greatest losses in life and production are from respiratory disease.
It is common upon arrival at the processing station for cattle to be vaccinated for viral respiratory disease (IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV) and blackleg (7-way clostridium), implanted with a growth stimulant, and treated for internal and external parasites. In high stress situations, antibiotics are sometimes administered simultaneously with vaccinations. The signs of clinical BRD can range from just being off feed with no actual clinical signs to moribundity. Weakness and depression may be hardly noticeable at first. What starts out as rapid, shallow respiration soon becomes labored, open-mouth breathing. As the calf's condition worsens, so do the signs. Ocular and nasal discharges are usually present. Early intervention with appropriate therapy in this disease process is essential in controlling BRD. Processing and treating sick calves is a labor intensive and costly procedure with some antibiotics costing up to $1.00 per cubic centimeter (cc). Treating with the correct dosage for the exact weight is considered necessary. A system including a syringe that could be automatically filled with the appropriate antibiotic, in the correct volume as determined by weight, would save time, drugs, money, and lives.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,589,372 to Smith discloses a dispensing system for supplying and administering a metered dose of a material to a subject based upon the weight of the subject. The delivery system includes a scale for determining the weight of the subject and for generating a weight control signal to a microcomputer. An input keyboard is provided for enabling an operator to select various system initialization data and operating parameters. The microcomputer is responsive to the weight control signal and the weight conversion factor for generating a delivery control signal. A delivery unit is connected to a supply of the material and is responsive to the delivery control signal for supplying a predetermined amount of the material to the subject. The predetermined amount represents an amount which is a function of the weight of the subject and of the weight conversion factor. However, a problem exists in that the delivery of material is indescriminately automated. For example, if the predetermined amount of material to be delivered is 10 cc, the delivery unit will administer all 10 cc at one time. This is problematic because the user may not stop administering the material at 5 cc, reposition the hypodermic needle, and then administer the remaining 5 cc. Administering too much medication to one area of tissue could contaminate muscle tissue. Further, the injection process often requires quite a bit of "feel", which comes from experience, as to which tissue layer the medicament is being administered. If the operator "feels" the needle point is not in the proper tissue layer, he may wish to stop the injection process and re-position the needle. This is not possible with syringes that are completely automated, such as the one disclosed in Smith. Additionally, some medicaments are lethal to humans, especially in the large dosage amounts administered to animals, e.g., 10 cc. An automated syringe, such as disclosed in Smith, is problematic in that an accidental injection into one of the operators would be potentially lethal.
It is desirable to have an automatic dosing syringe system that is highly accurate and dependable. It is also desirable that the automatic filling dosage system be capable of dispensing a variety of substances and be capable of operating in a wide range of ambient temperatures. It is desirable to have a dosage system with a syringe adapted to be automatically filled with the proper amount. It is also desirable to have an automatic filling dosage system and method capable of retrieving and updating the records for the subjects being treated. It is further desirable to have a dosage system that can be easily emptied, cleaned and disinfected without wastage of the medications. It is also desirable to have a manually operated syringe implemented with such a system.
The objects, advantages and features of the invention will become more apparent by reference to the drawings which are appended hereto and wherein like numerals indicate like parts and wherein illustrated embodiments of the invention are shown, in which:
It is to be understood that while the present invention is described below with respect to being used to administer an exact dosage of a substance to a subject such as an animal, the present invention is not limited to this type of application. The present invention may also be used in other applications, including administering shots to humans.

With reference to
In addition to the computer 16 receiving weight information on the animal from the load cell 14, the computer 16 receives health-related information on the animal from a central computer 28. The animal's health-related information is provided to the computer 16 to assist in activating the appropriate system units 15 which ultimately leads to filling the appropriate syringe(s) 20 with the appropriate antibiotic/chemical at the correct drug dosage.

The system unit pump 18 is a valveless, substantially viscosity-independent pump. The pump 18 used in the system 10 is manufactured by Fluid Metering, Inc. ("FMI") of Syosset, N.Y., Models STH and STQ. To the extent necessary to understand the features and construction of the pump 18 manufactured by FMI, Applicant hereby incorporates by reference U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,279,210; 5,246,354; 5,044,889; 5,020,980; 5,015,157; and 4,941,809.
The pump 18 provides many advantages over diaphragm pumps. The advantages include efficiency, accuracy and ease of maintenance. The FMI pump 18 utilizes one moving part to accomplish both the pumping and valving functions, without valves. In contrast to diaphragm pumps, the internal check valves of a diaphragm pump require continued maintenance. The check valves will eventually clog, leak, and fail over time. Even a minimal decrease in valve efficiency will have an effect on accuracy. The efficiency of these valves will especially be affected at lower temperatures when the product becomes more viscous. The diaphragm pump head is also difficult to heat trace. The pump 18 utilizes sapphire-hard ceramic internals which are dimensionally stable, substantially chemically inert, and will not change shape or dimension over time which provides long term, drift-free accuracy. Diaphragm pumps, on the other hand, use an elastomer for the internal diaphragm which, through constant flexing, changes shape and weakens over time, thus affecting accuracy. The diaphragm is also a maintenance item.
Furthermore, the pump 18 may incorporate a chemically inert ceramic piston instead of, for example, a diaphragm made from elastomers. Consequently, the pump 18 avoids adverse reactions with medications it contacts.
Another advantage provided by the pump 18 is its reversibility. The pump 18 can be reversed by reversing the direction of the motor. The flow direction of the diaphragm pump is completely reliant on the arrangement of the check valves. Therefore, flow direction is fixed and it would be impossible to reverse the pump at the end of the day to recover residual fluid as explained below.
Additionally, the pump 18 has advantages over peristaltic pumps. With respect to accuracy, peristaltic pumps utilize flexible tubing which "loses memory" over time resulting in a continued decrease in accuracy. With respect to maintenance, the pumps 18 require virtually no maintenance while peristaltic tubing must be continually replaced or there will be a significant loss of accuracy, or tubing breakage resulting in loss of product.
Another big advantage provided by the pump 18 is that it is substantially pressure, temperature and viscosity independent due, in part, to its incorporation of sapphire-hard ceramic internals which are dimensionally stable. Peristaltic pumps are designed for low viscosity fluids pumped at low pressures at room temperature. It would be impractical to heat trace peristaltic tubing since it needs to be continually replaced, and the tubing section in direct contact with the pump could not have any heat tracing present. Variations in temperature, pressure, and viscosity will have a direct affect on pump performance and accuracy. Additionally, the peristaltic pump will have difficulty self-priming at colder temperatures because the tubing will become more rigid and lose its sealing characteristics.

The operation and method of use of the dosage system 10 according to the present invention will now be described in detail. It is to be understood that the following steps are only illustrative and one or more of the steps may be modified or omitted without departing from the scope of the present invention. Referring to
Initially, all substances or medications that are known or desired for use on a group of subjects or animals are determined and each unit reservoir 22 is filled with the designated medicine or chemical. Referring to
The computer 16 is programmed, either manually or otherwise, for each of the medications in each unit 15. For example, the computer 16 may be programmed to calculate a medication dose in unit #1 at the rate of two cubic centimeters per hundred weight (2 cc/100#) and the medication in unit #2 may be administered at the rate of three cubic centimeters per hundred weight (3 cc/100#).

Upon the animal being restrained in the squeeze chute 12, it is weighed 122 by the load cell system 14 (
If there is a previously determined health program established in the central computer 28, the complete health, treatment, and medical history of the animal in the squeeze chute 12 will be reviewed and next treatment options will be sent to the computer 16 and the proper unit(s) 15 will be activated. Should there be an on-premise main computer 28 to perform this function, a pilot light will be lit signaling the operator to load the station with the proper medication and turn the selector switch to the "on" position, thus filling the connecting tube between the connecting tubes 24 and 42 between the fluid reservoir 22 and the syringe 20.
Regardless of whether the units 15 are activated manually or computer-controlled, in step 130 shown in
The computer 16 sends a signal 134 to the pumps 18 of each active station to simultaneously fill the required syringes 20 according to the weight of the animal to be treated. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the computer 16 interfaces with a control motor of the pump 18. In the preferred embodiment, the computer 16 interfaces with the motor of the FMI pump 18 regarding the number of piston revolutions it must turn as each rotation of the FMI pump piston at a pre-calculated angle of deviation from 180 degrees delivers a predetermined accurate amount of fluid to the dose syringe 20.
The syringes 20 are automatically filled 136 with the proper averaged dosages. Once the syringe 20 has been filled, a digital display 138 will be lit showing the exact dosage which has been delivered to the syringe 20. This signal will be generated when the computer 16 calculates the dosage to be administered. The dosages are administered 140 to the animal. No more than 10 cc of fluid may be administered at any one injection site in order to prevent tissue residue. To accomplish this it is necessary that the dosage calculated be divided into 10 cc maximum or equal aliquots. For example, if the dosage to be administered by the chute operator is 24 cc, the syringe 20 would first be filled with 8 cc. As the pistol grip handle of the syringe 20 is depressed, the fluid is administered and the syringe 20 is emptied. Upon the syringe 20 being emptied, a signal is sent to the computer 16 that the syringe 20 is empty. For example, a switch closes upon the syringe 20 being emptied and sends a signal to the computer 16. When the operator releases the handle, the switch will then tell the computer 16 to fill the syringe 20 with the second 8 cc dosage. The above procedure will then be repeated. Next the computer 16 will signal the pump 18 to provide the remaining 8 cc to the syringe 20. Upon the animal being given the required shots, the animal is released from the squeeze chute 12 and the read-out from the load cell 14 returns to "0" weight balance.
The treatment administered to the animal may be automatically recorded 142 on the central computer 28 to maintain current medical records on each of the animals. This can be done by outfitting the weight dependent automatic dosing system 10 with a sending device to forward the weight of the animal, drug or chemical selected, and the amount used, to the on-premise central computer 28. There it would be recorded as a part of the individual record of that animal. This step would effortlessly document events affecting slaughter times, total treatment costs, to-date treatment costs, etc.
Alternatively, the medicine or chemical dosage for any animal that is calculated by the computer 16 could be automatically recorded on a memory device of a chute side computer whereby it could be later permanently documented. Either way it is an automatic documentation step that would assure accuracy of health records, thereby saving time and money.

Referring to the embodiment in
The system is flushed with distilled water until clean and left loaded with fresh distilled water to keep it moist in order to prevent deterioration of the working parts of the pump 18.
The unit 15 can be left on to keep the warming circuit 104 active for the protection of the working parts of the system and liquids at low ambient temperatures or it can be shut down by pushing the stop button 102.
The cleaning and disinfecting of the internal pump 18, connecting tubes 24 and 42, and the dosing syringe 20 can be accomplished in the following manner. The stopcock valve 44 between the fluid reservoir 22 and the flush port 50 is turned to the "off" position. The stopcock valve 46 between the pump 18 and the flush port stopcock valve 48 is turned to the "flush" position. This connects clean sterile flushing fluid to the pump 18, connecting tubes 24 and 42, and dosing syringe 20. The "on-off-reverse" selector switch 106 is turned to the "on" position and the start button is pushed. The connecting tubes 24 and 42 and dosing syringe 20 are filled with clean sterile flushing fluid. The syringe 20 is emptied. The steps of filling and emptying the syringe 20 are repeated until an adequate amount of the flushing fluid has been pumped through the system to thoroughly clean it. Chemical disinfectant may be added to the flushing fluid but it must be followed by repeated flushings of pure, clean flushing fluid in order to remove any chemical residue from the system.
After the system has been adequately flushed, the "on-off-reverse" selector switch 106 is turned to the "off" position. The 2-way stopcock valve 48 between the pump 18 and the flush media reservoir (not shown) is turned to the "off" position. This fluid will remain in the system until just prior to the beginning of the next work cycle, when it will be flushed, freeing the connecting tubes 24 and 42 and syringe 20 to be filled with drugs (or chemicals). This not only lubricates the pump 18, it also enhances pump priming at the beginning of the next work cycle and protects the inner working parts of the pump 18. The 2-way stopcock valve 44 between the pump 18 should remain in the "off" position until the next work cycle.
The procedure for cleaning and disinfecting the fluid reservoir 22, pump 18, connecting tubes 24 and 42, and dose syringe 20 is basically the same as described above except flush solution is substituted for the drug or chemical via the draught/vent spike 34 b. The system is activated. The flush port stopcock valve 48 is in the "off" position and the two-way stopcock valve 44 between the fluid reservoir 22 and the pump 18 is turned to the "on" position. The connecting tubes 24, 42 and the syringe 20 are filled with flush fluid. The syringe 20 is emptied. This is repeated until the fluid reservoir 22, connecting tubes 24, 42, and syringe 20 are clean. After the system is flushed, the "on-off-reverse" selector switch 106 is turned to the "off" position.
The system 10 includes one or more of the following additional features. In order to prevent possible mixing of flush solution with the chemical or drug being used in the system, a one-way flush valve 46 is installed in the flush port 50 at the junction with the second connecting tube 42 which connects the fluid reservoir 22 to the pump 18. Although not shown, an air inlet may be inserted in the line between the flush valve 46 and the flush port stopcock valve 48 to allow air into the connecting tubes and the flush solution is discharged from the system through the syringe. The flush valve 46 also serves to prevent backflow of chemical or drug into the flushing system, thus preventing contamination.
An additional desirable feature is an override circuit to override the photo-electric eye circuit which causes automatic shutdown when the fluid level indicates fluid depletion in the bottle. At the end of a work cycle, when it is desirable to flush the system in its entirety, or when a biodegradable antibiotic needs to be removed from the system, it will be necessary to be able to inhibit the circuit which shuts down the pump. This is accomplished by a manually operated "override" circuit which allows the pump 18 to continue to operate until the entire apparatus has been emptied of its contents, thus freeing it up for another operation of flushing.
In case of accidental activation of the partial flush system, a "cancel" switch will be incorporated into the circuit so that flushing fluid cannot be accidentally mixed with the chemical or antibiotic being used at the time.
Thus, it is to be understood that the apparatus and method of the present invention adapted for use in medicating livestock allows, through a series of simple steps, the exact dosage of an antibiotic or parasiticide to be calculated, drawn up automatically in a dosing syringe 20, and then administered to the animal. This can be facilitated with the integration of an electronic load cell device 14 for weighing the animal built into the squeeze chute 12, a computer 16 to receive and interpret the information (weight) from the load cell 14 and send a signal to a metering pump 18 to pump the exact amount of medication into a directly connected syringe 20 for the correct dosage for the animal. Thus, each animal is concisely treated for its exact weight which results in a significant economic impact in the cattle feeding industry due to fewer retreats and the avoidance of chemical and antibiotic wastage.

The syringes 600 are automatically filled 136 with the proper dosages. Once the syringe 600 has been filled, the computer 160 will also transmit a +5V signal 175 that activates 165 a LED 150 to indicate the syringe 600 has completed its filling stage 155. The digital display signal 138 will be generated when the computer 160 calculates the dosage to be administered. The dosages are then administered to the animal. The administration of the dose causes the syringe 600 to enter a closed stage 160 whereby a termination signal 170 is transmitted to the controller 145 to indicate the syringe 20 may again be refilled. This also causes the LED 150 to no longer be illuminated indicating to the user that the unit 15 is no longer ready to administer a dose to the animal.

It is to be understood that the embodiments of the present invention described above allows a dosage accuracy of 0.5 of 1% for a weight reading within a 20 lb. range.
It is further to be understood that the present invention can also be used with the metric system in addition to the U.S. measurement system. In situations wherein the metric system is utilized instead of the U.S. measures, the dosages will be calculated in kilograms.
The present invention can also provide that each unit be programmable in 0.1 cc increments from 0.5 cc to 10 cc's. This will allow each unit to be programmed to deliver any dosage per 100 pounds desired in 0.1 cc increments from 0.5 cc to 10 cc's. This can be accomplished in one of the two following ways. The software can be programmed so that the desired dosage can be selected electronically or the angle of deviation from vertical of the FMI pump 18 (if preferably used) can be adjusted to change the dosage.
The present invention could also include a web-based data management solution that updates automatically from information collected from the system. Examples of some of the types of information that could be provided are as follows: weight of animal upon arrival at the feedlot; treatment given on arrival; any additional treatment while at the feedlot; and weight of the animal at any time it goes through the chute. This information could be accessed remotely by the owner of the cattle. This would allow the owner to monitor more closely the progress of his animals.
The foregoing disclosure and description of the invention is illustrative and explanatory thereof, and various changes in the size, shape, and materials, as well as in the details of illustrative construction and assembly, may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Use both Gloss and Matte Mediums as an extender and fixative for Liquitex Acrylic Paints. They can be mixed together, in any proportion, for a semi-gloss or satin medium.
Gloss Medium
Liquitex Gloss Medium is also known as "Gloss Medium Varnish." Use it as a non-removable final picture varnish where a glossy protective coat is desired, or as a painting and glazing medium. It enhances the depth of color intensity, increases transparency and gloss, eases the flow of paint, and adds flexibility and adhesion to the paint film. Translucent when wet, and transparent when dry, this 100% acrylic polymer varnish is water-soluble when wet and can be thinned. Use it as an extender, a fixative, a ground, or a varnish.
Note — Liquitex Gloss Medium is also known as "Gloss Medium Varnish." We disagree with this terminology, because a varnish must technically be removable from the paint surface. Use a true varnish if, for conservation reasons, the varnish must be removable at a later date.
Matte Medium
Mix medium viscosity Matte Medium with acrylic colors for completely matte, dull and flat effects and a non-reflecting finish. When mixed with acrylic paint, it extends color, increases transparency, matte and film integrity, eases paint flow, and adds to the flexibility and adhesion of paint film. It is opaque when wet and translucent when dry. Use it as an extender, a fixative, or a ground. Mix with Gloss Medium for a semi-gloss or satin medium.
Ultra Matte Medium
This fluid with high-resin solids dries to a matte finish. Use to maintain opacity and extend opaque colors to double amounts without changing the color. Ideal for large projects where transparency is not desired.
Shipping Note — Due to manufacturer distribution restrictions, Liquitex products cannot be shipped to addresses outside of North America.

Excellent acrylic medium
By F Wanderley
from Olinda, Brasil
When painting with acrylics I always use Liquitex matte medium because it's really good for collage, besides its nice consistence. Most of all, I like this medium for its beautiful matt appearance when mixed with pigments or paintings.

How did you discover Rom Hacking?

I found a nice site that had tons of hacked pokemon games and noticed the game was basically changed from the originals. So I tried one (Brown) and thought it would be fun to make my own changes, yunno? So the first place I find is here at PC, been here off-and-on since, whenever I decide to hop on my hack and get some progress done. Still beginner so far, but my current project for a friend of mine has worked (almost) perfectly. He likes it, and its a good feeling making new areas and such and have the coding work for quests and special add-ons..
Thanks PC. :D

Photo of the year candidate: Fog rules at Texas Open
More Golf: Leaderboard | Rankings | Schedule | Equipment | FedEx Cup | Masters
Here at Eye on Golf we like to put forth some of the best golf photos we see every week. Photos that are too good for a tweet. Photos that capture the sport. Here's one of those.
The Texas Open experienced a lengthy fog delay which was terrible for the golfer but pretty cool for photographers.
This shot was taken on the range as players were attempting to warm up in the near-opaque weather.
As Bud Cauley noted on Twitter, the weather was no joke:
there was a golf course out there yesterday @valerotxopen #fogdelays pic.twitter.com/EqxIkNu1Sg— Bud Cauley (@BudCauley) March 27, 2014
But it did make for some pretty awesome photos like this one.

Born in Kuwait and educated in Rome and at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, Robert Tateossian hung up his banker's stripes early in his career to launch Tateossian London in 1990. Looking for a way to update bland business attire, he turned his discerning eye to his own everyday accessory: cufflinks. The result was an overnight sensation, as style-starved men seeking luxury with a hint of humor clamored for Tateossian's witty designs. Almost instantly he was dubbed the "king of cufflinks" and adopted by the British press as the next big thing. The line soon grew to include jewelry, watches, and accessories no gentleman should be without — all in materials that reflect Robert Tateossian's impeccable taste.
Cuffs, necklaces, bracelets, and more modern finishing touches with a masculine edge
Clothes may make the man, but when it comes to businesswear, accessories make the clothes — and our selection of cufflinks, bracelets, and watches from London's "King of Cufflinks" Robert Tateossian has style to spare.
Can't-miss deals on designer sneakers, watches, and everything else on his list

American Lung Association critiques Oklahoma, other states on tobacco prevention
Oklahoma is among many states failing to invest in programs that would reduce or prevent residents from using tobacco products, according to a report released Wednesday.
The American Lung Association's annual "State of Tobacco Control" report grades states on how they're working to fight tobacco use.
And most states, by the American Lung Association's standards, are failing.
"This report reveals a tragic money trail that leads to tobacco-caused death and disease, where states and federal government are failing to do what we know works to reduce tobacco use," said Erika Sward, assistant vice president of national advocacy for the American Lung Association. "Oklahoma has a lot more work that needs to be done, but it is better off than many states."
In 2012, two states — Alaska and North Dakota — earned A's for "sufficiently investing in their tobacco prevention and control programs," according to the report. Forty-two states and the District of Columbia were given F's.
The report gauges whether a state is spending a sufficient amount of money on prevention programs by looking at whether the state spends the recommended amount from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Oklahoma was one of few states to get a D, instead of an F like the majority of states, in its tobacco prevention and tobacco control spending.
CDC recommends Oklahoma spend $45 million on tobacco prevention and control programs. Meanwhile, the state spends $22.5 million in state and federal money on these programs.
Tracey Strader remembers about 10 years ago when that CDC recommendation was about $22 million, where Oklahoma is at today.
"I understand the calculation, and that's an ideal formula, but I think all of us in Oklahoma are pretty conservative about what we put our money into, and we want to be sure we're going to get a return on investment, and that it's the best fit for our state for right now," Strader said. "Certainly we could do more."
During the 2012 fiscal year, 34 percent of the callers who used the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline who engaged in multiple coaching calls to quit smoking said they were successful in their quit attempt, according to TSET.
Callers are contacted seven months after their first coaching call and asked if they have had a cigarette in the past 30 days. During the 2012 fiscal year, more than 38,000 Oklahomans had called the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline.
The American Lung Association also grades states on their cigarette taxes, coverage provided for tobacco cessation and smokefree air. Oklahoma received a C for its $1.03 cigarette tax. The state got a D for smoke-free air, or the state's smoking restrictions. And it received a C in cessation coverage, or what insurers in Oklahoma cover for people wanting to quit using tobacco.
Sward said tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.
And these measures are important because they're evidence-based models that are proven to help states reduce the number of people who smoke, she said.
"All of them have been proven to reduce smoking rates, and that is why the tobacco industry doesn't want to see any of them happen" "we're looking at meaningful items that will make a big difference in reducing tobacco use and the death and disease caused by tobacco use in the united states and in Oklahoma, and it's really up to all of our elected officials and other policymakers to summon the political will, to take us off this reckless money trail."
The National Institute on Money in State Politics released a report "Big Tobacco Wins Tax Battles" on Wednesday simultaneously with the American Lung Association's report.
The institute is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that focuses on campaign money in state-level elections and public policy in each state in the United States.
In its report, the institute reported that tobacco donors contributed about $54 million in 2011 to 2012 to state-level candidates, political parties and ballot measure campaigns, the second-highest since 2005 to 2006, when that number totaled $96.6 million.
About 88 percent of that money went to campaigns in California. Four of the largest tobacco manufacturers, including Philip Morris USA, Reynolds American Inc., U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. and Altria, gave more than half of the money, or $47.4 million, of all the tobacco money given to state campaigns, according to the report.
The report did not focus much on Oklahoma, but did report that from 2011 to 2012, the tobacco industry contributed $23,600 to candidates in Oklahoma. Meanwhile, health advocates contributed $1,250, according to the report.

Comments about ... Pink Camo Table Cover (Each):
If I knew how awesome this tablecloth was I would\'ve bought more! I was expecting a cheap, plastic tablecloth. I was perfectly ok with paying $7 for a pink camo table cloth because you cannot find these in stores ANYWHERE! When I opened the package I couldn\'t believe the quality! My husband wants me to order more.

I do---Hopefully you like winners also.
Yes. I've been following before FDA approval, I been adding since then. The only question I have with asia and europe and us partnerships is that they undersold their technology for small contracts.
They are trying to grab global market shares in HHD before competing produces are showing up in the rear mirror.
We don't follow NXTM because the stock just keeps going up and let's us sleep at night. I have tried to explain this whole FREEDOM thing to people but they don't get it so just wake us up in a year of two.
