The New York Post Shares Why Wilmington is a City to Visit
Posted on 05/01/2013 10:07 am
While some may consider Wilmington a well-kept-secret that is hidden behind neighboring metropolitan areas like Philadelphia and Baltimore; the New York Post recently highlighted Wilmington's downtown resurgence and why Wilmington is worth a visit.
The article highlights several of the City's downtown attractions including: the Christina Riverwalk, Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, River Taxi, Delaware Children's Museum, DuPont Environmental Education Center and a variety of restaurants and cafes.
"This positive exposure and coverage is great for Wilmington," said Mayor Dennis P. Williams. "It serves as a reward for everyone who has contributed to rejuvenating the Downtown and Riverfront areas."

Phinney Stops Career-High 45 Shots in Loss to No. 4 Union
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (1/11/14) - Freshman goaltender Colton Phinney made a career-high 45 saves and allowed two goals Princeton fell 3-0 to No. 4 Union on Saturday, Jan. 11 before a standing-room only crowd at Hobey Baker Rink.
Phinney's save total is the most by a Princeton netminder since Mike Condon made 57 saves on Feb. 17, 2012, coincidently in a 3-0 loss to Union.
The teams played an even battle in a scoreless first period that saw Princeton (4-15, 3-9 ECAC) outshoot Union (13-4-3, 9-2 ECAC) 17-11.
Penalty trouble in the second period was the Tigers' achilles heel as the team took 21 penalty minutes to Union's nil. The Dutchmen used the power play to outshoot Princeton 23-5 in the period and put Phinney to work.
During a five-minute major to senior Jeremy Goodwin, Phinney made nine saves including 1:35 of 5x3 action after a second infraction to the Tigers. He made another big stop in the final two minutes of the second on a Ciampini breakaway.
Union was able to break through in the scoring at 3:53 of the second when Michael Pontarelli got a stick on a shot by Charlie Vasaturo from the right point. Pontarelli started the play when he dropped the puck off for Kevin Sullivan. Sullivan skated behind the net and found Vasaturo at the point. Pontarelli and Princeton's Alec Rush collided behind Phinney with Pontarelli reaching the puck before Phinney could get back on his mark.
The Dutchmen used its momentum to take a 2-0 lead at 7:48 in the third as Max Novak redirected a Sebastien Gingras shot from the top of the slot.
Princeton pulled Phinney in favor of the extra attacker with 2:33 to play but couldn't solve Colin Stevens.
Daniel Carr put the game out of reach with an empty-net goal with 29 seconds left.
Stevens picked up his 10th win of the season with 33 saves as final shots favored Union 48-33.
Union was 0 for 5 on the power play, wile Princeton was 0 for 2.
The Tigers will take a two-week hiatus for semester exams and returns on Jan. 31 & Feb. 1 when they travel to Harvard and Dartmouth.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $289
The Deuter Aircontact 75+10 pack is a great pack. It is a very comfortable pack with tons of features. The suspension is great and can carry a very heavy load comfortably. Best used for week+ trips or family backpacking trips. I love this pack and highly recommend it.
- Great suspension
- Very comfortable hip belt
- Rain cover included
- Great access to the main compartment
- Lifetime warranty
- It's a bit heavy
One thing that really sold me on this pack is the adjustable torso length. I love this feature. If you have family members who like to borrow your gear, this pack is great because it can be adjusted to just about any length. This makes the pack fit very well.
This model is designed for men. Deuter makes a model designed just for women as well. The comfort is amazing. The hip belt is very thick and great for people who are skinny and don't have extra cushion on their hips. The venting is good.
This is a large pack: 75+10, so you have 85 liters if you need them. It seems like a bottomless pit, you can put so much gear into it. The sleeping bag compartment and large U shaped zipper in front make the pack very accessible and easy to organize. The suspension makes it very stable and comfortable even with a very large load. If you don't need to use all of the 75 liters the pack compresses nicely with compression straps on both sides.
The pack is very easy to use and works as expected. I've had this pack for a year now and it seems to be very durable. The construction is very good, typical of German products. I normally use this pack on trips that are multi-day or when I take the kids and I carry some of their gear.
Overall I love this pack and recommend it to everyone. It is very comfortable and built to last.

Great pack for carrying heavy loads comfortably.
- Great looking
- Lots of room for gear
- Many adjustable parts for custom fit and carry
- Comfortable with all weights
- Great price
- Solid quality
- Attached rain cover in bottom pocket
- Have experienced slight slippage of front straps when under heavy weight.
- Map pocket is at back of pack. I use top packet instead.
- Pack is heavy
My 3rd pack.
My favourite by far.
A little bit heavy, but I recently carried gear for a family of five, including two tents, two bags, two pads, and much of the food and water. Eish, about 60 lbs, but it carried very comfortably.
This is a large pack that is adjustable for regular sized to very large people. I'm 5'10" and my Friend is 6'3" and we both have one. We both are fans of this bag (I bought it because I witnessed his 1st trek with his new bag, and how comfortable it was for him). At completely different sizes and girth, our bags adjust to our respective sizes and we both find the bag to be very comfortable.
It says 75+10 and it absolutely holds it.
I've used my pack about 6 times in the last 6 months and the pack still looks like it has come off of the sales floor, however, I don't baby my gear. This bag is well built.
The construction is solid, stitching great, it carries great, can be easily packed. I love this pack.
I'm a woman who has used this pack for many years.

I'm a woman who has used this pack for many years. Its adjustable straps and padded harness are super comfy.
- Fully adjustable harness
- Well balanced pack
- Lots of room
- Flexibility of use
- Pouches on the sides are almost useless
This backpacking mother needed a pack to carry my gear and most of my (at the time) young son's essentials. This pack is the most comfortable one I own.
It has velcro adjustments for the length of my back, a fully adjustable harness and a removable/replaceable hip belt. The cushy padding on the hip belt becomes essential with a heavy load and the extra 10 was acres of room for all we needed. The pack is not waterproof (it's water resistant) but the attached rain cover is hidden underneath and it does its job.
A small drawback is the side pouches. One would think they'd hold a one litre jug. No way! They fall out. This is annoying as they are a bit hard to reach while wearing the pack. Now I only use them for stuff I can strap in. My solution for water is a Platypus. There is a pouch for that inside the pack.
I've owned this pack for more than 10 years and it has held up really well. I continue to use it even though I don't fill it like I used to. Luckily the gear straps cinch the pack in for a smaller load and keep it nicely balanced. Additionally it has ice tool loops, so it has even more useful options.
When it is time to retire this pack I will consider this line again.
The Deuter Aircontact 75+10 is extremely comfortable,…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $225 on sale
The Deuter Aircontact 75+10 is extremely comfortable, especially when it comes to ventilation for such a large pack. It has a huge carrying capacity, easily capable of hauling 60+ lbs for multi-week or week long treks. Multiple compression straps let you adjust the pack for anything from expeditions sized loads to weekend getaways. The X-frame stays also do an exceptional job of distributing weight to the hips.
- Bombproof construction that should last a lifetime
- Huge carrying capacity
- Multiple external lash points
- Integrated rain cover
- Easy on-the-go adjustability
- Very comfortable
- Not enough external organization.
- A little on the heavy side at 6 lbs 6 oz
I'll start by saying; 1) this is not a pack for ultralighters since it's a bit large and on the heavy side for that purpose, and 2) I have a Kelty Coyote 4750cu/80L and the one thing I love about it is multiple external pockets that make organization so easy — a feature lacking on the Deuter. Okay, I have the only negatives I could come up with out of the way, so on to the good stuff...
Capacity: This pack is the equivalent of a walk-in closet and will easily hold all your gear. Even better, it will hold all that gear with excellent weight distribution and comfort, making 60+ lbs feel more like 40 lbs.
The lid alone holds my water filter, first aid kit, camera, rain gear, a book and a small pair of field glasses, with room to spare. The sleeping bag compartment easily holds my bag, a 3-man tent (with fly and footprint) and a Big Agnes insulated air mattress, and the main bag compartment holds everything else. And beware - with so many lash points on the outside, you might be tempted to bring along the kitchen sink too!
Construction: I've always liked it when my packs get that slightly used, broken-in look, but the construction of the Deuter is bombproof and shows no wear after a full season-and-a-half of backpacking (nearly every weekend from May through September). I've rubbed against decomposing granite while scrambling, had it roll about 60 ft down a 45% incline before being stopped by a tree, and had it soaked during a creek crossing, and it still looks new! I expect it will last forever.
Comfort: Wow - and I thought my Kelty was comfortable! The Deuter has incredible adjustability thanks to the multiple compression straps, the Variflex hip belt that moves with your hips, the v-shaped channel that pumps air up your back, ample padding and mesh on the back, hip belt and shoulder straps, and the super-easy Variquick adjustment on the harness (I've adjusted it with my bag stuffed to capacity).
Misc: I like the integrated rain cover although some people might not. It detaches from the pocket on the bottom of the bag so you can go with or without it. I'm not a big fan of the map pocket since it's difficult to access with the bag stuffed and the compression straps cinched tight. However, the pocket on the hip belt is big enough for sunblock, lip balm, multi-tool, compass and a trail bar.
All in all, the Deuter Aircontact 75+10 is worth every penny of the suggested retail of $289 but you can find it for closer to $200 if you shop around. This is a super load hauler that surprised the hell out of me with its comfort and quality. Way to go, Deuter!

I researched thoroughly and determined this model was my best bet for strenuous, multi-day expeditions.
- Suspension system distributes weight efficiently and comfortably
- Organization of pack's compartments helped me stay organized
- Emotional value of everytime I utilized my bag I was reminded of how good this pack is
- Adjustments to suspension system allow for shifting of weight distribution which keeps muscles from being taxed to exhaustion
- Love the rain tarp and it having its own pocket! Very convenient!
- Maybe it is a little heavy, but it is a comfortable workhorse
- The water bladder's velcro strap to hold the bladder up is not adequate for carrying the weight...eventually velcro fails and the bladder drops low into its compartment which is not ideal for load distribution
- Wish it was made in either Germany or USA
- Not enamored with my color options (I have green) but may grow to appreciate it
A trip on the Appalachian Trail confirmed that it is well-designed, comfortable, rugged and comfortable. The pack revealed its strength as the trip went on. Compartment organization was superb for me (I like to find gear when needed). It may not be a superlight, but the suspension system helps to lessen the pain of a heavy load. Pack showed little wear after a demanding week.
I expect to have my Deuter for a long time. Looking forward to my next trip with this high performance pack!

***EDIT*** I just wanted to add that in 2010 I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail with this pack. In doing so I have a few things to add in this review.
The stabilizer and tightening straps after awhile began to slip constantly... most other people's packs did this too after 6 days of 95 degree heat at 15 miles a day :) but these slipped the rest of the way to Katahdin, constantly adjusting the whole way:( Halfway through the AT at Harpers Ferry the bottom rung of the height adjuster ladder on the back snapped off, but the company sent me a new pack free of charge!!!
Overall I carried about 55 pounds average and had very little discomfort other than the strap slippage. Still think it's a great pack but going with an ultralight pack for the PCT.
This pack is amazing for extended or multi-day use. I have packed it up to 50 pounds and felt very little discomfort over a 3 day trip to Kentucky's Red River Gorge.
It fits perfectly to most if not all body types, being that it is fully adjustable to height and girth. I have a relatively bigger upper body than my lower body and am only 5'9" and it adjusted with ease and stayed comfortable every time I've used it.
It has a feature I find to be very useful, the pouch up front that I have used for rain gear and other waterproof items that take up lots of room inside. The divided compartment for sleeping bags at the bottom is a must in my eyes. The built in rain cover (it's on the bottom in its own pouch) is a godsend when rain starts quick and you don't want to dig through pack to get the cover. The pocket on the hip belt comes in handy for small items that you use often i.e. chapstick, compass, whistle etc.
The only downfall I have come across is that it is a little heavier than some other bigger packs.
Altogether this has been a great pack so far and I would recommend it to any one trying to carry a pack that is not ultralight.

Workhorse for expedition backpacking. Most comfortable pack I ever put on.
- Flexibility
- Ruggedness
- Capacity
- Comfort
- Adjustability
- Attached rain cover
- Cinches down if you have a light load
- Overall design
- Hip belt could use 2 pockets
- Hydration hanger not up to the job
- Colors are... odd
Most comfortable pack I ever put on. Used it for dozens of backpacking/hiking/camping trips. Once, in NM, I swapped packs with someone else and even with re-adjusting, his pack just felt wrong and heavy, even though mine actually weighed more.
For me, comfort is everything and this pack delivers. It's about 5 years old and may last longer than I do.

Max. Load Carried: 70 lbs
Height of Owner: 72 inches

This thing is a comfortable tank! It's heavy. If you're looking to go lightweight, this is not where you need to be looking. However, if you're looking for a solid, well made pack with all of the bells and whistles, this is it. I prefer to use mine when I'm packing bulkier loads in colder weather or when I know it will be days before I can resupply.
The pack carries great. I have lighter packs that save weight, but this one really manages the load well. I've carried 60 lbs in this pack more comfortably than 25 lbs in lighter packs.
The suspension is highly adjustable and offers lots of options. The hydration access works well. A cover is actually included and attached. The pockets and compartments also allow you to load your pack in all sorts of different ways while still retaining access. I really hate the weight penalty, but I love the stability and comfort.

A hiking bag that is more spacious fits to my size. I could take all of my gear and I could camp for more than a week.

I hiked a ton of gear high into the mountains to set up a base camp and climb a 14,000' peak. This pack performed flawlessly. It held everything I needed with room for more, including the bear canister. Very comfortable pack. The pack cover performed well during the downpour after we set up camp. Important since backpacking tents don't really hold all your gear. I was able to clip all my climbing gear to the daisy chain webbing on the back along with trekking poles and a tripod. I plan to use this on all my treks for many years to come.

I purchased the pack as it was allegedly the best the shop had. Quite frankly I don't think it is good enough to take the washing. Deuter was good but now that they source product from Vietnam you get 3rd world lack of quality at developed nations' price. The brand is not worth the price anymore.
The zippers catch, one zip was broken during the trip, a 6-day trek in northern Thailand. The straps look like they belong to a deformed octopus and catch on any tree within range. Put some retainers on them Deuter!
Stitching was rubbish.
I threw it away after the trip.

I'm a judge on the Lifetime show 24 Hour Catwalk. Four competing designers each create a fashion collection in 24 hours.
What thrills you?
You know a runner's endorphin high? I get it from doing deals.
Her work ethic: My dad was a schoolteacher; my mom was a mom. If I wanted anything, I had to either make it myself or figure out a way to get it on my own.
Early dream: I didn't think about limos and supermodels—just being able to make things. But it was hard. I was always running into the bathroom and bursting into tears; then I'd wipe off my face and go back to work.
Following her gut: I was doing runway shows and a home line at Target [in 2003]. Everybody told me it would be the end of my career, but I had a feeling it would work. Like, why can't you spend a lot on a handbag, then go to Target and buy sheets or a T-shirt?
Personal worst: You know when you fill out a form with your marital status? I can pretty much check all the boxes: widowed, divorced, married. All those things, difficult and great, sort of strike a balance.
Finding challenges: What excites me is doing something nobody has tried. Who else would design diapers? You'd think it would be the kiss of death for a fashion designer. I mean, nobody designs wet suits, but I surf, and I'd look around and see that every girl looks like a little dude in the water, so I started doing them.

Global Classic 6-Piece Knife Block Set
- Online Only
- Summary
Chop and dice with exceptional precision and control. Made to the exacting standards of Japanese professional chefs, this award-winning hand-forged steel cutlery is carefully weighted for balance and comfort. Five home-chef essentials and a knife block make up this set.
- Stamped blades are made of exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.
- Prominent 1/4" edges are visible to the naked eye and ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in impressive sharpness and edge retention.
- Stainless-steel handles are seamlessly constructed and textured for a good grip.
- Crafted to professional standards, these knives are lightweight yet perfectly balanced.
- Stainless-steel storage block's angled design helps protect the blades, and its nonslip rubber base anchors the block securely on a countertop.
- Block has slots for ten knives and a honing steel.
6-Piece Set includes:
- 4" paring knife.
- 5 1/4" chef's/utility knife.
- 7" Asian chef's knife
- 8 1/4" carving knife.

- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone or frozen food, as the blade can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Use the honing steel only when you feel the knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than six months after its first use. As you continue to use your Global knife, it will require more frequent honing. If you need to hone your knife more than once every two weeks, it is time to have it sharpened.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

Learning Persuasive Writing Topics In School
One will never run out of persuasive writing topics to write about or teachers can ask the students to write something about. The lessons on grammar in schools are tested once applied in oral and written communication exercises. One is prepared for higher learning and advanced work depending on how much of the basics has been like spelling, tenses, subject-verb agreement, sentence patterns and the likes.
In the grade school, the students learn about the basic grammar and simple sentence construction. The basic skills they have learned in class are applied in writing compositions appropriate for their level. Most of the time the persuasive writing topics the write about pertain to instilling positive values and moral lessons, like:
- What a healthy breakfast consists of?
- What is the value of harmony for my family?
- What will it take for me to realize my ambition?
The grammar lessons in the middle school and high school are almost identical but uses and choices of words are more difficult. The persuasive writing topics are more thought provoking and there is already a need for light research to upgrade quality and credibility. Much of the topics are relevant among pre-teens and teens alike such as:
- What are the effects of smoking and drinking alcohol bad to human health?
- What are the risks of teen pregnancy and marriage?
- What problems can gang membership bring?
For college students, the nature of persuasive writing topics takes the stance of a professional paper. It is after all being done in preparation for professional work. While not every college student becomes eventually a writer, every professional must learn how to write to do tasks related to the job they have like writing letters, reports, presentations and even reviews and research. The final product must therefore be substantiated with facts, interpolations, statistics and testimonies. It is therefore expected that students will all be geared up to take the research challenge head on to be able to research and write something about any topic.
While there is a broad range of persuasive writing topics from the grade school to college, more important are the techniques learned and the skills acquired in the process. Everyone has gone through these processes even the best writers across history. Keep listening to your mentors, keep drumming that keyboard and keep reading and you're on your way.
Inspiring Persuasive Writing Samples For Aspiring Writers
How can the elements and approaches of persuasive writing be best demonstrated to students? What makes some people become better writers? How can persuasive writing samples be used to teach the basic elements of writing?
It is a known fact that writers have different styles and approaches. While it is fundamental that the writer is proficient in the language one is using it is important to remember that writing is more than that. Aside from the right format and elements, the language proficiency just constitute another technical component of writing. It doesn't signify that it is not important because it is. Theoretically, they are as important as the techniques. To teach this, use of persuasive writing samples would be ideal.
To best showcase the different styles which writers used, persuasive writing samples may be used. There are writers who use artistry in developing their compositions. Such can be used frequently in introducing and closing compositions. One way to be creative is by using quotations or adages in the said elements. The closing may be written in the same way but must technically tie up the opening and the closing statements. The facts, testimonies and statistics must be loaded up in the text or thesis. The presentation must be organized in such a manner as understanding can flow in the minds of the readers. The facts need to be simplified. This is essential because the body or argument consists only of three paragraphs. If facts can be presented in trends, that will be even better.
All these can be effectively imparted by use of good persuasive writing samples. Once the students come to understand these they can be asked to research and submit samples too in order to reinforce the lesson. How can the teacher establish if they are ready to be on their own? Let them write their own about a common topic to allow them to see how styles make each essay unique.
One gets to improve by passion which drives one for more practice, hard work and artistry. By being diligent and by perusing persuasive writing samples, you will make a good writer one day.
Enhancing Skills With Examples of Persuasive Writing
All people need to write or compose an essay at one time or another in a person's life. There are people who become professional writers. There are also those who write because it is something they love to do. While it is something taught in school, not everyone have the privilege of learning from good writers and good teachers. How must someone interested to improve in writing do to step up? Reading examples of persuasive writing compositions can make significant help in improving writing skills.
To be a good writer, developing the habit of reading is important. For one, one must be able to write convincingly and that only happens if the writer is confident about the subject matter. Filling the void in knowledge can be done by reading and research. With the Internet which offers fast and easy access to information, the days of hard work to make research are gone. There is now an easy alternative for the writers and the future writers to improve their skills and abilities through reading examples of persuasive writing essays.
Teachers and writers can improve a lot by accessing examples of persuasive writing compositions in the Internet. Knowing more, the teachers can make the teaching-learning experiences with the students prolific and enjoyable. They must consider using examples with topics the students can relate with which can be fun too. It will be a futile exercise to use subject matters beyond their comprehension and appreciation. That would be a waste of your and their time.
Meanwhile, those who want to pursue writing but had the misfortune of not learning the lessons as a student can always do self-learning by reading examples of persuasive writing essays. Not being able to get effective instruction from former teachers need not obstruct one's interest to move towards self development. Reading helps even seasoned writers. The best writers of this world are the ones who love to read and learn.
Understanding Letter Art Photography
Letter art photography is another form of magnificent masterpiece that can be displayed to any rooms. We all know that searching and selecting the best artwork is a tough task to do. Letter art photography is your remarkable choice that would greatly add a personalized touch to a room or space.
In letter art photography, each letter of the alphabet is made of items and objects, found in nature, and mostly captured in black and white in order to create a striking, custom-made piece of alphabet work of art. The different styles of letters are chosen by the person, and he or shespell whatever he or she wants to have in his or her art work, whether it would be a name, greeting, place, etc. With a lot of choices to choose from, for each alphabet, there are no the same letters in a piece of art.
Meanwhile, if you are searching for the right art photography that can be well-suited to any kinds of space or room, then letter art photography would be one of the best choices. You would personally choose the individual alphabet pictures, the casing and the mats to make a truly matchless work of art that perfectly fits into your room's design.
If you are thinking of a gift for your family and friends, letter art photography could be one of your superb gift option. Moreover, letter art photography would certainly gives them amazement that is why it is best given as wedding gifts, housewarming presents, or any special occasions gifts.

Not just you can have your photos immediately, you can acquire the best discounts and deals if only you take a lot of patience and time in finding these art pieces in online stores that would give you what you what within your budget.
Humble Pop Art Photography
Do you want a pin up of Marilyn Monroe done through pop art photography by Andy Warhol hanging in your wall? What about a picture of a Campbell soup also by Andy Warhol? These may seem too common and commercial yet that is the beauty of pop art. That could be a departure from the usual concept of fine arts of the elite culture but that is exactly what pop art is all about. Its birth was in a way a retaliation to the norms of traditional art embraced by the elite culture.
Pop art was derived from the words popular art and pop art photography is one of its expression. It is a modern art approach of the this century that has minimalism stamped all over it and applied to cinema, comic books and commercial ads. The word was applied first to popular culture with the idea that there is no hierarchy in culture. It also brushes aside any hint or suggestion that high or low art forms have substantial differences.
Among its influence is on pop art photography that was popularized in the US by Andy Warhol. Though the words pop art was already used earlier, it was first publicly used in 1947 yet became popular by 50's and 60's. This coincide with the phenomenal pop music popularized by the music greats of all time In France, The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Meanwhile, Nouveau Realisme is its counterpart in France which was pioneered by Pierre Restany around 1960.
One of the most prominent features of the pop movement is its marriage with commercialism thus giving rise to what is called now as commercial art. Despite the humble beginnings, pop art earned its current place in the world of arts as a form of classic and fine arts. Pop art photography can depict unusual gory subjects, as well as fun, comic and commercial. Repetition of subject is still common but the meaning is sometimes lost when purpose is vague.
If you are not a big fan of Marilyn Monroe, why not have your own picture finished the pop art photography way graces your home?
Why Art Photography Prints Are Remarkable
Photographs are one of the best things to capture a moment that would last a lifetime. If you are looking into the photos you take, it seems that you are remembering the past. Most of the time, these pictures are stored in albums and computers. We have to find enough time from our hectic schedules to spot our old pictures. But art photography prints give you the time to spot your memorable photos once again without opening your albums and PCs.
Art photography printing refers to the process of making small pictures to bigger prints, comparable to a painting. Art photography is greatly emphasizes when printed in bigger sizes. The photos on prints are modified in an appropriate manner to fit entirely into the prints.
Actually, many people are amaze of the knowledge that the art photography prints entail to them. It is not easy to have this process since the developer would use his own imagination in editing and at the same time use the software that would do the task. Actually, it is a lot different from the standard prints and photo enhancement because it requires skills and knowledge in order to come up with this kind of artwork.
Again, art photography prints are not ordinary photo enlargement, but an endeavor to create a remarkable and real facade of the picture. Art photography prints have the photos more noticeable, making it a great wall art piece.
Art photography prints make an ideal wall art hanging material. Enlarged photos with wooden frames entirely suits the walls of any rooms, and at the same time provides a good facade to the house. Your art photos can be converted to larger prints. The truth is that it essentially captures the most treasured memories of our family and friends which makes it more ideal for the wall art hangings.
The art photography prints are as well available in a variety of designs. Some of the remarkable art photography prints designs are made of pencil and color splash. It depends on you on what type of designs you are going to integrate in your art photography prints. The important thing is that it gives you the chance to remember those happy memories with your loved ones.
Nature is a big artwork that can be captured in a wall art photography and taken to one's home or workplace. The natural environment is teeming with many pleasurable charming sights that can be imprinted not just in one's collection of memories but in paper as photos. Places, people, events especially the ones that rekindle happy thoughts and feelings are the ones that deserve a place in the memorabilia anyone wishes to keep.
Wall art photography can bring life to an otherwise dead space by its splash of vibrant colors. The imagery on a wall speak of the kind of person that you are without words. People's persona and inclinations are generally reflected in the kind of artwork they surround themselves with. Any person can get in touch with his artistic side through art in any form. The possibilities are actually endless when one considers the subjects combined with techniques and approaches. More adventurous types opt for the kind of fashionable art wedding photography Preston Taylor made famous. When choosing subjects, take note of what interest you – panoramic views of sunset and sunrise, wildlife, vibrant flowers, island views, underwater lifeforms, people, festivals, landmarks. Weave in elements that will give life to the artwork like texture, lights and colors. These are fundamental tips that help greatly as one pursues wall art photography as a hobby, venture or in buying artwork.
Not too long ago, photography was a hobby that was simply beyond reach of many enthusiasts being expensive and ambitious. The ones whose ardor for photography is overflowing should live frugally to be able to buy rolls of films and chemicals for the dark room. With the advent of digital photography, memory cards and the like, photography is not as ambitious anymore. More than its affordability is the simplicity of use and applications. Photos for mounting on walls can now be bought in many galleries, malls and online at very reasonable prices.
Thus, don't be daunted by the task of putting up and mounting wall art photography. It will not only give the home or office a view, it will acquire a character that is you.

Man Shump ShumpAndray Blatche responds to taunts from the Knicks
In the fourth quarter of the Nets final preseason game Wednesday, injured Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, wearing a suit on the sideline, began heckling Andray Blatche loudly and abrasively.
Shumpert's point was the Knicks should push up on Blatche every time he had the ball because "he's terrible, he's horrible."
Soon, Carmelo Anthony joined the heckling from the Knicks bench. But Shumpert was the most persistent and most insulting.
"They're wasting their energy," Blatche responded Saturday. "I don't know (Shumpert). He wasn't playing, so he had to do something. You sitting on the bench with a suit on you have to do something."
Blatche said he heard the taunts during one isolation play, but "they got lucky. I missed the shot."
The 26-year-old backup center admitted he understands why others would question his talent after being amnestied by the Wizards. But he vowed to convert his next isolation play against the Knicks, saying he was hampered Wednesday by the flu that kept him out of practice two days later.
"I'm drinking Theraflu every day," Blatche said.
Wow, the triple double bitch has spoken!
Shumpert is one of my favorite NBA players to watch. Don't know how I would have taken it had he done something like that to me.
I love Shump but I hope he doesn't become a Mario Chalmers type trash talker.
[QUOTE=welcometonycity;252505]On twitter lol. Gotta respect the rivalry EARLYYYY! I love it!!
Some dude in a BK NETS hat jus had the nerve to try an stop me for a picture. I'm off that. *Shump walks away*

I've got a interesting quandry. First, a little background.
My 13" Macbook runs LeJOS 0.9.0 wonderful. I'm in the process of writing some classes so that I can develop FIRST (http://www.usfirst.org) FTC robots using Tetrix parts in Java vs. RobotC. Ultimately, the idea is that we can emulate the FRC robots using the much less expensive FTC robots. So far, I've been able to write enough infrastructure to emulate simple autonomous programs.
However, the next step is to now emulate teleop, which means I need to be able to control the robot via a joystick. I downloaded the jinput classes, and have it reading a couple of different joysticks (including the same Logitech game controller as used in RobotC). I also finished writing a NXT program that takes the output from a PC program that reads the joystick and sends them to the NXT brick using USB and/or Bluetooth. This works, and is fairly robust (I have a sequence number, and acknowledge all packets, which is overkill, but allows me to easily detect link loss).
However, here is my quandry. When I run LeJOS native on my MAC under USB, I can send multiple packets (~10) per second to the NXT reliably. Unfortunately, using Bluetooth, I get *maybe* 2 packets per second. This is unacceptable since the robot can't respond fast enough to the joystick input. Perhaps this is a hardware issue on OS X, but I don't believe so because of the next issue.
If I startup XP under Parallels 6 and run the same programs, (obviously, running on the exact same hardware), I get close the same speed as the native OS X USB speed (~8 pkts/sec). So, it's obviously not a hardware issue. And, OS/X is obviously capable of sending out the packets fast enough, as they are both using the same bluetooth hardware, just one is doing it through an emulated USB stack via Parallels.
On my MAC I'm using Java6, while on Windows I ended up with Java7. I can't imaging that the JVM would make much, if any difference. Other than that, the class files on OS/X and XP are identical (I'm using a shared folder), and the program on the NXT is the same in both tests. Just to take it out of the picture, I also disabled the code that reads the joysticks, and am sending 'fake' joystick data.
My suspicion is that OS/X Fantom drivers (supplied by National Instruments for Lego) are the issue, but I haven't dug into it yet. (Note, I'm using the latest version 1.1.3 from Lego, which has a date of 1/2010.) Does anyone else have any insight? If it's an issue with the Fantom drivers, is there any recourse to make things better?

"We are trying to pull together Eastern Summit County," said Kate Boyd, market co-executive director.
Applications for vendors and musicians of all ages are now being accepted at http://www.loakleymarket.com .
"We're looking for vendors, artists, crafters, kids vendors, as well as gourmet, snack and on-site food," Boyd said. "We are also accepting entertainers and musicians."
The market will have two paid musicians and entertainers slots every Saturday.
Boyd said they are hoping to book Sammy Thornbrue, an 11-year-old guitarist who made waves by playing on Park City Main Street during the Sundance Film Festival without a permit. He was asked to leave by Park City police officers, but not before drawing a large crowd of listeners.
"He's applied and we're just trying to work out the dates," she said. "So, that's what we're looking for: local, grass-roots people."
Not only are young musicians welcome, but young vendors as well.
"There are so many crafty and creative kids," she said. "It's such a unique experience for them. And the market will be small enough for them to not be scared."
The organizers are also hoping to attract artists from the community.
"There are over 300 artists in Eastern Summit County. We're trying to get them to come out of their houses and display what they have," she said.
A small market was held in Oakley in 2011 and 2012 in conjunction with the Summit County Fair, but the organizers soon realized that Eastern Summit County needed a true farmer's market, Boyd said.
A survey conducted during and after the 2011 market showed an almost 100 percent interest in a local farmer's market.
"So there is a lot of excitement about having a farmer's market there," Boyd said.
Food stamps will be accepted for eligible items.
"There was a big push to make sure that happens," she said.
The market will also feature bounce houses and free activities for the kids.
The L'Oakley Market will run Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for seven weeks beginning June 29 on the grassy area of Cattlemen's Hall, located at 911 West Center Street in Oakley.
Applications will be accepted until June 29, or until all market slots are booked.
"We've had quite a few applications already," Boyd said.
L'Oakley Market information meetings
Feb. 6, 6 p.m. at the Summit County Courthouse in conference room #1, located at 60 North Main Street in Coalville.
March 20, 6 p.m. at the High Star Ranch, located east of S.R. 32 in Kamas.

Hankook is the best of the new.
Also check Vredestein and Nokian. Tough to find but excellent.

My Dad has no trouble with Kumho Solus, and I've heard very good things about Uniroyal.
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!
Hankook Ventus V12 - good grip, low rolling resistance, quiet
Toyo Proxy T1R - incredibly sticky so very good grip, good in wet too.
Eats, shoots and leaves...
Avon are pretty good too.

When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. (David Bissonette)
HI, Thanks for the help so far. I am primarily seeking some thing with a good life.
Does anyone have any info re. the Maxxis MA P1 and the Kleber Dynaxer HP3. I think the Kumho Solus KH15 do come into this group too.
It looks as though these are around £110 for a pair fitted, all in. I def do not want to go over this unless some thing with a much longer life can be found to make it more cost effective. (Having to run a household on DLA makes all expediture a nightmare to control).
I have been trying to make some sense of the various review sites that base evaluations on user reports (suposidly),
but they seem so contradictory they are of limited use only.
Many Thanks

I've got Maxxis on the front of my car, noisy but grip is good in wet and dry, not sure about wear as I've only had them a few months but they don't seem to have worn appreciably.
From now on if my comment can be expressed in the form of a tired internet meme or picture.
So it shall be done.
Yup, the review sites are a bit of a headache, contradictions all over the place. Presumable you're using blackcircles etc? tescotyres uses black circles, I got a major bargain off there 6 months ago as they were selling premium tyres cheaper than black circles, unfortunately that wasnt the case last time I checked.
Would you believe that while researching the two replacements for the fronts I have picked up a nail in one of the good rears.
It is right on the edge of the tread area so I am fully expecting the repairers to refuse to fix it. This has happened to me once before.
I can not find the funds for what is probably now three half decent tyres so may be forced to go to some of the known to be
appauling tyres which besides having bad grip and handling also have a very short life. You know the ones, they have peculiar names
and come from the farest far east. You just can not seem to win sometimes.
4468 4472 92207 92220 60163 and the greatest of these is 4468
The best wearing tyres according to 'WHICH' in your tyre size are
Michelin energy saver, at £70 a tyre
Vredestein Hi Trac at £53 a tyre. However the Vredesteins came last in the test, with noise, dry braking and dry handling rated as poor.
A good compromise looks like the Kumho solus KH17, not quite as long lasting, but a good tyre and only £54 each, or the Goodyear Duragrip, an even better performer and as long lasting as the Michelin at £60 a tyre.
You can't change the wind
but you can alter the sails
or eat less beans?
^ Buy part-worns, if you're stretched at the moment. Far cheaper than even budget new tyres, you can often pick up good branded tyres, and they all have plenty of life left: they tend to come from Germany where tyres have to be replaced in pairs if one is punctured. Ok, so you won't get as many miles out of them as you would a new set, but the very low price negates that problem, and will keep you on the road until you can afford to buy a full set of new tyres.
There's a part-worn place near me that does 14" tyres for £15 each, fitted and balanced, with the old ones disposed of.
Quick google search reveals a few places near you:
Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!
PS Our tyres don't come from Germany, btw. The same rule of changing in pairs applies to all our police cars.

Yes, another vote for part worn tyres if money is tight. The only downsides are it can be a bit hit and miss as to whether any particular seller has your size in stock and you can't be too picky about brands, but the low prices negate the downsides.
They also often come from fleets where they have contracts to replace tyres regardless of wear.

I have no doubt that IF TROMIX wanted to modify a mag and or reciver it would be doable. I was looking at a used sagia 410 to modify thus weekend but passed. I have one 410 now but dont plan to modify it.
The 44super long would be a great round I dont know if it would be any better than the 450 bushmaster but it is possable that the 450 AR mag could be modifed to fit a AK. the firts step in my mind to building a 44 superlong would be to come up with a standard dies that will size the brass and a way to seat and crimp the bullets. the next would be a way to ream a chamber Of course a custom one could be cut for about $150. I personaly make the round longer to take the full length of a AK mag with the heavyiest bullet avaliable or usable.the beauty of this round would be the use of 30-06 brass and the avalibilty of it.

Usain Bolt is the world's fastest runner. But Tyson Gay is planning to change that.
Gay, once favored as the world's fastest man, had a disappointing showing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as Usain Bolt became the media darling earning three gold medals in the 100, 200 and 4X100 events.
But while training in Clermont this month, Tyson Gay clocked the world's current fastest time at 9.79. Bolt holds the record at 9.58.
"Being an American, I just believe that we have so much history, from Jesse Owens to Carl Lewis and Maurice Greene and I would like to walk in their footsteps," Gay told USA Today. "Right now I can't with Usain Bolt having the world records and a lot of gold medals."
Do you predict that Tyson Gay, 28, will defeat Usain Bolt, 24, in the 100 meter dash in the 2012 Olympics?

Reviews for Chocolate Bliss Marble Cake
"cake was very dense and not sweet enough. Icing was a disaster but my fault since I didn't follow the directions:)"
"Have not made yet. I've read all 18 reviews and this is my take. I love cake and need to watch my fat intake. When I get a chance I will try this, paying close attention to the egg whites and use applesauce for the oil. In this house I'm the only one who likes frosting so I'll leave that off . If it seems too thick before adding the whites I'll add more milk, one tablespoon at a time. And Grandma832, if you see this I hope you give it a try adding in my suggestions. Sometimes, like a child, it takes a village."
"The only thing worse than this cake recipe is the recipe for the icing. The cake was not sweet enough and the texture so dense it tasted like a stale terd. This cake may be better used as a pretty decoration..just make sure you don't allow your guests to eat it."
"Very moist ..... great taste!"
"I read the reviews and saw the ups and downs. So, I made sure the egg whites were at room temp, and everything was exactly like the recipie. It looked too small in the pan, but when it tested done, I took it out. Way too packed.......but I did the frosting anyway. But, then I took a step back, looked at it and couldn't make myself serve it at a dinner. It's deep 6 in the bottom of my trash can!"

Eating to Live on the Outside: The Green Bean
Wow! I'm tired. I blog a lot! So by the end of the week I'm pooped, but before I chill out. Time to take a "trip" to The Green Bean in my favorite stomping ground New York City. It's an organic vegetarian restaurant, which makes it a surefire winner for Eating to Live on the Outside, right?
Yup, it looks really good. I see kale, tomatoes, lettuce, mushrooms, beans, peppers and all sorts of great stuff. But before I make my final decisions, here's a rough draft of food I might order:
Hot Organic Oatmeal
- Oatmeal, apple sauce, cinnamon, raisins and cranberries; sounds good, along with chocolate and sushi, oatmeal is a vice of mine.
Texas Style Veggie Burger
- Grilled soy patty, soy cheddar cheese, tomato, onion, Romaine lettuce, soy mayo, Dijon mustard, pickles, barbecue sauce, salt and pepper served on a seven-grain bun; its okay, but I'd ditch the fake cheese and mayo and the salt.
California Tofu Wrap
- Tofu or soy cheddar, avocado, onion, tomato, Romaine lettuce and soy mayo in a whole-wheat tortilla; I'd go with the tofu and pass on the faux cheddar and mayonnaise.
Couscous with Veggies and Tofu
- Organic whole-wheat couscous, grilled vegetables and tofu; sounds pretty cool to me.
Three Layer Casserole
- Organic sweet potatoes, black beans, millet and mushrooms, served with steamed kale; got to love that kale!
Organic Tofu Brazilian Stew
- Potatoes, sweet potatoes, celery, onions, mushrooms, tomato, carrots, olive oil, bay leaf, parsley, garlic, fresh herbs and served with brown rice; looks good, I'm okay with the rice and oil.
Green Bean Garden Salad
- Field greens, tofu, cucumber, peppers, zucchini, tomato, sweet potato and garlic ginger dressing; lots of greens, you can't go wrong, but dressing on the side just to be safe.
Garden Grill
- Grilled eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, roasted peppers, olive oil, pesto on seven grain bread; you might be leery about the grilling, but I mostly eat steamed food, so I can deal with it.
Italian Mob
- Roasted organic peppers, mozzarella soy cheese, basil and sun-dried tomatoes served on seven grain bread; pass on the cheese.
California Grill
- Roasted red peppers, eggplant, zucchini, onions and goat cheese on seven grain bread; I'd skip the cheese and no worries about the bread.
Yeah, The Green Bean is really cool, especially since a lot of the food is organic. Hard to beat that! But if I really had to pick something, I'm going with the Three Layer Casserole or the Green Bean Garden Salad. Both look good and satisfy my green veggie requirement.
Now, you might want to play around with some of their smoothies and juices, like Blood, Body Fuel and The Three Amigos. They look pretty interesting too. Okay, it's that time again. Flip through The Green Bean's menu and let me know what you'd order. Have fun!

Take steps to protect your business against telemarketing fraud! The
following actions can be taken to reduce the likelihood of being victimized by
fraudulent telemarketing.
Educate your employees with regard to telemarketing fraud via
internal memos, posters, and other forms of communication. Your authorized Ricoh
Dealer will be able to provide stickers or signs that can be placed on or near
your office machines regarding who to contact if service or supplies are
Don't allow employees to give out information about office equipment.
This is particularly important in the case of secretaries, clerks and temporary
employees, who may not be aware that they could be dealing with a fraudulent
operator. Your authorized Ricoh dealer already has this information. Have all
such calls forwarded to a designated person within your organization, ideally,
the one who is responsible for purchasing your office equipment
Do not allow anyone in your organization, except the designated
person, to purchase office supplies. Use a written purchase order system.
All telemarketing is not fraudulent. However, you should verify that
the person on the other end is actually your authorized source of office
supplies, by getting their name and phone number, and then returning the call.
Check with your authorized supplier if there is any doubt at all.
If you are the designated person in your company to purchase office
supplies, don't be pressured into making a quick decision on the phone. Be wary
of special deals that are too good to be true, especially those that offer gifts
or prizes. Ask the caller to put his offer in writing.
Unordered Supplies
Under federal law, unordered merchandise sent through the mail may be kept as a
free gift. If you are not sure if you ordered the goods, send a certified
letter, return receipt requested, asking for proof of the order. Once you are
certain that you did not order the goods, you are under no obligation to the
sender and should let the company know you are keeping the supplies as a free
Fraudulent Misrepresentation
If the goods were mistakenly ordered and they arrive by a private delivery
service, like UPS, do not accept the shipment. If the shipment is accepted,
write the sender a certified letter, return receipt requested, and revoke your
acceptance of the goods. The letter revoking acceptance should be sent as soon
as fraud is detected. By giving the sender the opportunity to pick up the
merchandise, no valid claim can be made that you accepted an offer of sale by
keeping the shipment. When the sender receives your letter revoking acceptance,
they will often have the shipping company come in and pick up the goods. Try to
obtain a receipt from the shipping company indicating that the goods were picked
up from your place of business. It is important not to exercise ownership over
any commercial unit of the goods, therefore, keep in mind you have a duty to use
reasonable care to hold the goods until the seller can remove them from your
Reporting Telemarketing Fraud
Ricoh works closely with industry trade associations like BTA (Business
Technology Association), as well as government agencies like the Federal Trade
Commission and State Attorney General Offices to help combat telemarketing
If you suspect a scam involving office supplies, you should contact your
authorized Ricoh Dealer, along with your State Attorney General's office.
If you have been the victim of a fraudulent telemarketing scheme
involving office supplies, you can also contact the Business Technology
Association. Please access the BTA website for further information
The Federal Trade Commission maintains a useful web site, which
addresses telemarketing fraud issues. It also includes a list of contact phone
numbers and addresses for State Attorney General Offices, as well as an on-line
complaint form The site can be accessed at
Other agencies you can contact include your Regional Chief Postal
Inspector, as well as the Better
Business Bureau.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration launched a "Construction Incident Prevention Initiative" campaign this summer to curb construction fatalities.
The initiative is designed to identify and eliminate safety and health hazards at construction sites and to prevent injuries and fatalities resulting from the four leading causes of incidents: falls, crushing events, electrocutions and caught-in-between events.
The initiative will target health hazards involving silica, lead and hexavalent chromium, and will draw on OSHA's national campaigns to prevent fall hazards at construction sites and heat illness among outdoor workers.
Compliance officers will focus enforcement effort on construction sites covered by OSHA's area office in Wilmington, which includes the state of Delaware.

Boyce Opens NCAA Championships With Top-50 Finish In 50; 100 Back On Friday
LIVE RESULTS l LISA BOYCE INTERVIEW l PRINCETON WINS THE IVY TITLE
Junior Lisa Boyce made her 2013 NCAA Championships debut Thursday afternoon in the 50 prelims. Her time of 22.80 did not qualify her for the evening session, though she will still have two more opportunities to become Princeton's first All-America women's swimmer since Alicia Aemisegger '10.
Boyce, who has swept her Ivy League individual events in each of the last two years, placed 41st overall in the 50. Her time was off her Princeton record time of 22.07, which she set last month in winning the Ivy League title at DeNunzio Pool.
Boyce will compete in the 100 back Friday afternoon. The three-time reigning Ivy League champion in the event, Boyce enters with a time of 52.93, 26th-best in the nation. She holds the Princeton record in the event.
On the final day of the NCAA Championships, Boyce will compete in the 100 free. She is currently 20th in the nation in 48.74, and she can grab her third Princeton record by dropping that time by .09 of a second. Boyce is the two-time reigning Ivy League champion in the event.
Boyce was among the select few swimmers nationally who was invited in all three of her events. Boyce qualified in all three at the 2012 NCAA Championships as well, and she placed in the Top 50 in each, including 31st in the 100 free.
"We are excited to be here in Indianapolis with Lisa representing Princeton," said head coach Susan Teeter, who has led Princeton to 11 Ivy League titles in the last 14 years. "She is excited to race and [assistant coach] Suzanne Yee has done a great job preparing her to swim fast. Both of us are very proud of her."

ZF-4490: Zend_Date::getDate() returns non-zero time part for dates not in UTC
For Zend_Dates in a timezone other than UTC, getDate() doesn't return a date with 0 time part, as described in docu, but instead 0 + time zone base offset (without DST).
I don't know if this is intended or not. If it is, it should be documented in the documentation.
Example of when this is a problem: You have a set of objects and want to select only those whose time property is today. So you filter using {{(time >= Zend_Date::now()- >getDate()->getTimestamp() && time < ...)}}. But this will not display what the user considers "today" (what is today in the current timezone).
$ php

$date = Zend_Date::now();

echo $date->getDate().PHP_EOL;

Given the docu (??Returns a clone of $this, with the time part set to 00:00:00.??), I would expect it to work the same as this:
$ php
require_once 'Zend/Date.php';
$date = Zend_Date::now();
echo $date.PHP_EOL;
$date->set(0, 'HOUR');
$date->set(0, 'MINUTE');

The bug still persists as of 1.11.10. Precisely, the result of getDate() is 1 hour off when DST is in effect for the given date. For dates without DST or when the timezone is set to UTC/GMT, the result is correct. Example:
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin'); // DST in effect: result incorrect $date = new Zend_Date('2010-06-20 14:56:33'); $date = $date->getDate(); echo $date->toString() . PHP_EOL; // no DST in effect: result correct $date = new Zend_Date('2010-12-20 14:56:33'); $date = $date->getDate(); echo $date->toString() . PHP_EOL;
19.06.2010 23:00:00 20.12.2010 00:00:00
The substitute solution with setting the time to midnight works either way. getDate() itself is currently unusable for DST-aware timezones.
The unit test only checks for 2002-01-04 (no DST) and therefore succeeds. A second check with a DST date is required for a full test. Additionally, the checks should be performed with timezone set to both UTC and a DST-aware timezone. The current test appears to use Indian/Maldives, which did NOT show the erratic behavior with my own test script. No DST on the maldives, I suppose. I'd recommend a timezone that is more than 1 hour away from UTC, so that it's clear whether the offset comes from the timezone or from DST.
The inconsistency of this bug's history may result from the use of Zend_Date::now() for testing. The reports come from mid-October and August (DST in effect), while the fix was made in November (no DST, no erratic behavior).
