Following Atticus: Forty-eight High Peaks, One Little Dog, and an Extraordinary Friendship (P.S.)
Release date: 2012 / 304 pages
Synopsis(from Amazon): After a close friend died of cancer, middle-aged, overweight, acrophobic newspaperman Tom Ryan decided to pay tribute to her in a most unorthodox manner. Ryan and his friend, miniature schnauzer Atticus M. Finch, would attempt to climb all forty-eight of New Hampshire's four thousand- foot peaks twice in one winter while raising money for charity. It was an adventure of a lifetime, leading them across hundreds of miles and deep into an enchanting but dangerous winter wonderland. At the heart of the amazing journey was the extraordinary relationship they shared, one that blurred the line between man and dog.
Review: When Following Atticus arrived from TLC, my husband asked me why I had accepted it to read and review. I replied, "Did you SEE the cover?!" And he answered, resignedly, "Yes — that's why I'm asking… You know how books about dogs end… and how this affects you." Well, he was right that I was affected by reading about Atticus. And I'm afraid I will not be giving away my copy — this is a book that belongs on the bedside table of my guest room since it will affect everyone who reads it, regardless of gender, age, or creed — regardless of whether the reader is a dog lover, even! In fact, at book club I recommended it to everyone — and at that point I was only halfway finished. (And I've learned that lesson well — not to recommend a book with promise until I had turned the last page) but since I live in the mountains and my book club is filled with dog loving mountain folk, I knew I was safe in Atticus's paws 🙂
Following Atticus will appeal to dog lovers, but is truly more of a redemption story of the author: Tom Ryan. In his memoir, Ryan comes to terms with a difficult childhood, a complex relationship with his father, his uncertainty about what to do with his life, and other life-changing issues. Although Atticus is a 20 pound miniature schnauzer, he reveals a passion for mountain climbing that gets his buddy (Tom) out from behind his computer, into the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and through some of the most difficult "life work" necessary.
Ryan is a newspaperman by trade and a lovely writer — able to bring both Atticus and the mountains into sharp relief for the reader. I felt as if I, too, had climbed all the four thousand foot peaks with Atticus and loved every step. As my husband feared, the pup does face trials and tribulations at times, but this is a hero's journey that ends happily.
So, I strongly recommend Following Atticus! Even those ambivalent about dogs will find something to love in this inspiring adventure tale.

|First climbed as a snow trip in May 2005 and had just a great time, I got it into my head that it'd be cool to camp on an 11,000 ft summit in January.
Well, we did and it was great conditions until we got to the summit, so windy we could barely walk and we got no sleep at all. Couldn't wait until morning. Guess all those windmills below us should have been a clue. Wouldn't trade it for anything though.

I was hoping someone could confirm the round trip mileage for me as our Garmin GPS showed the total miles being a little over 18. But the trail descriptions show it as only being 16 miles round trip. We started measuring from when we left the parking lot and then up the road to cross over the river bed/wash.

Glittering. That's how Katie Takeshima's sister, Lynn, makes everything seem. The sky is kira-kira because its color is deep but see-through at the same time. The sea is kira-kira for the same reason. And so are people's eyes.
When Katie and her family move from a Japanese community in Iowa to the Deep South of Georgia, it's Lynn who explains to her why people stop them on the street to stare. And it's Lynn who, with her special way of viewing the world, teaches Katie to look beyond tomorrow. But when Lynn becomes desperately ill, and the whole family begins to fall apart, it is up to Katie to find a way to remind them all that there is always something glittering — kira-kira — in the future.Luminous in its persistence of love and hope, Kira-Kira is Cynthia Kadohata's stunning debut in middle-grade fiction.

Book value
Book value is the value of an asset on the balance sheet minus total depreciation, depletion, or amortization. For an entire company, it is often viewed as total assets minus total liabilities, often stated on a per-share basis. In this case, it is also known as shareholder's equity.
Expanded Definition
When an asset is purchased, the cost of that asset is recorded or "booked" on the balance sheet. As time passes and the asset is used or consumed, the asset's "carrying value" is reduced by the accounting expenses of depreciation, depletion, and amortization. A truck used to make deliveries has its value reduced via depreciation or a mine's value is reduced via depletion (gold removed, for example). As the asset is used up, it is worth less and less to the company, so its book value declines over time.
However, just because an asset has been used up from an accounting point of view (had it's book value reduced to zero or some minimum), that doesn't mean the asset is still not useful to the company. It can keep the truck in service and making deliveries, for instance. Another example is Sears, which had a lot of land carried on its books at book value (the original cost), even though the price for land had risen. Eddie Lampert saw that this value could be unlocked by selling the land for a profit.
Corporate book value and valuation
From the basic rule of accounting, Assets = Liabilities + Equity, the book value of all the assets minus the liabilities is what shareholders have invested in the company. This is called the "Net Asset Value" and is often called the book value of the company.
This is one way to value a company, although some consider it to be of little use when looking at tech companies that are heavy on intellectual property and the like, and light on assets such as factories and heavy equipment. So they might go to the next level and refine it to tangible book value, which takes out things like goodwill.
Price-to-book value is one metric investors use when investigating a company. It tells you what you are paying for a company's net assets. Stocks trading at a P/B ratio of less than 1 are often considered undervalued, though this depends on the industry.
Of course, book value changes all the time as a company acquires or sells assets, and as depreciation is taken into account. Book value won't equate exactly to market value.
And plenty of companies trade below book value, which can make for a compelling investment if the value is really there, if it can be unlocked. Value can be a subjective measure -- especially with the intangible assets -- and the market isn't always rational.

Beware of short cuts and quick fixes that minimize the hard work and focus required to prosper. An effective ganja garden always rewards the grower who practices the following seven important rules of conduct.
When it comes to your garden, whether medical or not, silence is always golden. It's tempting to brag and show off your hard work, but that can only lead to problems down the road. Growers who live "out in the open" tend to be the ones easily targeted by police and thieves.
Never throw big parties or let people hang out all day smoking weed, and don't have foot traffic coming in and out all the time. Suspicious stuff like this has been the downfall of many a pot prospector. Create the illusion that you're invisible and harmless to neighbors-simply another citizen going about your life. Whether purchasing lighting, moving equipment into your chosen space or interacting with locals, it always helps to keep a low profile.
By the same token, don't allow yourself to become too paranoid. Freaky behavior, such as blocking off all your windows or avoiding interaction with neighbors, is a tip-off that something's not right.
Be friendly, but not too friendly. Never panic or antagonize those around you-keeping the peace is always in your best interests if you want success harvest after harvest.

Last.fm only makes sense if it knows what music you're listening too. Without that it's totally useless.
It's the basis for last.fm's user specific music recommendations and social networking features like music neighbours.
Assumed that the system is working and knows your taste of music, last.fm is an excellent way to discover new music.
iTunes 7 stopped the fun:
Thank Apple for silently changing the iTunes AppleScript dictionary definition and breaking it in the first place!
After the update I wasn't any longer able to sync my iPod playlist with last.fm. Most of the time I listen to music on the iPod, so I heavily rely on that feature.
Finally I found the right group and thread today that solve all "Track is too short to be submitted" problems. It's easy, just get the iScrobbler 1.2.1 test 2 version. Last.fm should address this issue somewhere in the official download section.
Btw, who invented the word scrobbling?

hello there!
I came here by the CDM's Ableton Pool and I got REALLY impressed with your sound and – the most important – with the simplicity of your set.
So, here's the deal: may I contact you by e-mail in order to exchange some information? I'm starting my works with soundesign and electronic music, but here in Brazil I can't seem to find people working with this noisy stuff that I like.
I would be very glad with your answer, please send me a message or a comment!
Your work is really great and inspired me

I don't think I know a single person this was designed for. Most people I know wanted an ultraportable at 12" widescreen, not a thin version of the Macbook with features chopped off. I've also never heard anybody ever say "man, this 1" is way too thick for a laptop" – I'm not sure what problem Jobs thought he was solving, but it's not a problem anybody I know has.
The 12" PowerBook was still their best form factor laptop, all they needed was a widescreen and beefed up version of that (and keep the real keyboard, this MacBook keyboard is universally despised).

Whether you're a first-time racer merely looking to have fun at the local track or an aspiring Nextel Cup champion, sponsorship dollars are vital to what you do-unless you print money in the basement. If you look at any race car at any local track, the odds are there's a lot of room for more sponsor information. How do you attract sponsors to pony up the dollars to help with the effort?
One way is to present them with an attractive rolling billboard for their business or product. It works in Cup, Busch, and Craftsman Truck. It can work for local businesses, too. But what makes a good-looking race car? How can you make it more likely that a photo of your car will wind up getting attention from print media? How do you make your car stand out from the crowd?
Les Miller, creative director for PCG-Campbell, a marketing and communications company that does a lot of work for Ford Racing, says it's important to keep it simple, clean, and easily repaired.
"Your car should be as clean as possible but not garish or gaudy," Miller says. He recommends using contrasting colors, but not colors with the same density. "A bright blue body with bright red numbers wouldn't have enough contrast. Also avoid shiny or chrome numbers that could be hard for timing and scoring to read. If you want to be taken seriously, no racing in primer. It looks unfinished."
Miller recommends saving Day-Glo colors for chain racing or a demolition derby because they look cheap and unprofessional. "You've never seen a Cup car in Day-Glo paint," Miller says. That goes for rollcages and wheels, too. And avoid silver or reflective paint, says Miller, because they don't photograph well.
Chucke Walkden, track photographer for Infineon Raceway, says to be sure to choose colors that are going to stand out. "You need contrast against the track, but you don't want to blind them," Walkden says. Some whites can cause problems for photography, although white is fine as long as it's not too white. "With a really bright white, everything else is underexposed," he explains. "It takes less exposure than every other car. If I'm shooting 50 cars, I'm not going to adjust my exposure for one car."
Walkden suggests primary colors such as red, yellow, and blue, with lots of contrast between the body colors and graphics. "You want it to 'pop,'" he says. "Black is probably the worst to photograph, because you only see the highlights of the paint. Darker colors at night are going to disappear into the track. Your eyes are drawn to the brighter car. With dark colors you lose the whole shape of the car. You may only see the number."
Kevin Culver, owner of Straight Line Body and Paint in Portland, Oregon, agrees with Miller about keeping the look of your car simple. Culver had done work for Sports Car Club of American racers who thought nothing of spending $1,500 to $2,000 for painting their race cars. "It was culture shock when I got into stock car racing, where they thought $200 to $300 was more like it," says Culver. But then sports car racing frowns on contact of any kind, so a $2,000 paint job will take less abuse and require less attention in the future. The paint work on a stock car, meanwhile, may need several touch-ups and require more long-term investment.
"When I started racing out at Portland Speedway in Limited Sportsman, I already had a sponsor and I wanted to keep him," Culver says. "I figured if I had a really nice looking car others in the class would want to make theirs look good, too. I thought it would raise everybody up a notch. What I found out is that it was like driving with a bull's-eye on my car."
Culver's elaborate four-color paint scheme with shadowed and outlined numbers needed repair most weekends. It was a perfect example of what not to do. "I showed them! I showed up every Friday with the car in pristine condition," he says. The next year he painted his car a solid red. It was a lot less work. Make your car look good, he says, but don't make it look too good.
The kind of paint you use is important. Culver recommends using a good, cheap, catalyzed urethane paint so that it can be easily repainted. "If you attract a sponsor, you may have to repaint the whole car," Culver points out. "A single-stage catalyzed urethane is better for making repairs because you can paint over it week after week with no reaction. It won't wrinkle or feather. You can't paint over a synthetic enamel."
How about saving money by buying leftover paint from an automotive paint store or body shop, paints that for whatever reason weren't used? "Don't do it!" Culver says. "Eventually, you have to match it. Go with fleet colors or factory pack colors. They're the cheapest because the paint store doesn't have to mix them."
Culver uses the same white, for instance, on all race cars he paints with white."That way when they come back in six months, you don't have to figure out which color you used." Touch-ups are easier and cheaper if you don't have to make up a special mix.

On June 11, we were pleased to honor Sandy Bria of GE Capital and John Reynolds, principal of Jefferson Science Magnet School, with The Maritime Aquarium's 2015 Seal of Approval Awards.
The Seal of Approval Awards honor individuals who create change in the community and support the mission of The Maritime Aquarium.
Dr. Brian Davis, president of The Maritime Aquarium, presented the awards during the annual end-of-year celebration held at the Aquarium for Jefferson Science Magnet School students, parents and teachers.
Under Reynolds' leadership, in 2006, Jefferson became the first school to partner with The Maritime Aquarium in our "Whole School Partnerships." In these collaborations, Aquarium educators work with every child and their teachers in every grade of a school, providing multiple science experiences while integrating the Aquarium's science curriculum into the schools' coursework. The result has been a demonstrated improvement in standardized test scores, closing science achievement gaps.
For its success in closing the achievement gap among its students, Jefferson was named a National Blue Ribbon School in 2014 – the only Connecticut school to be honored.
As manager of corporate citizenship for GE Capital, Bria led the way for GE Capital to fund some of the initial programming for the Jefferson-Aquarium "Whole School Partnership." GE Capital continues to provide funds for new educational opportunities within the program.
Bria also is the liaison for some 25 volunteers – herself included – who mentor Jefferson students.
During the June 11 event, Jefferson families had exclusive evening access to the Aquarium, including a special presentation of the IMAX® movie "Humpback Whales."
Past winners of The Maritime Aquarium's Seal of Approval Awards are Jack and Mimi Cohen, Ellen Morrone and the late Dr. M Hyman Hodish – all long-time Aquarium volunteers. The Cohens and Morrone also are charter members of the Aquarium's Legacy of the Sound Society, whose members have included the Aquarium in their will or trust.
– Dave Sigworth, Maritime Aquarium publicist

While the calendar officially ends summer on September 22nd, the eve of the Autumnal equinox, summer thoughts of play seems to end sooner and sooner each year. Schools are starting and with it a quickened pulse and unbalanced rhythm to the city. But wait, there are several last chance happenings and opportunities to court summer fun in all of its silliness and shimmer before the season closes.
All aboard, and paddle
The Delaware River waterfront has hosted much delight this summer for relaxing fun. But if you feel the need to retune and rebalance your mind and body, note the August 30th deadline for your last chance to try, or improve your mastery of, Paddleboard Yoga. Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga classes, offered on Saturday afternoons, will end their season of balanced fun at the Spruce Street Harbor Park. Penn's Landing enjoyed lots of success in bringing skills and smiles to many with this its fourth year of The Paddle Penn's Landing program. Young and old, couples and groups, enjoyed the opportunity to see Penn's Landing from a different view. But alas, it is almost time for the kayaks, single and tandem, as well as, the made-for-two swan boats, to also end their season on September 7th. Between now and then, the Penn's Landing Marina is the place to go, for fun in the sun, and on the water, glee.
Pop by parks of summer
Pop-up parks and gardens were all the rage in Philly this summer, but even some of these well designed, garden environments will need to close their imaginary doors. One of the finest places to absorb the shimmer of summer is Morgan's Pier on the waterfront. August 29th is its end for the season. That also means an end to the fresh fare of Chef David Gilberg's summer inspired menu, enjoyed by many an alfresco diner, under the gaze of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Hold on to that summer feeling, if just by your taste buds. Neighboring pop-up summer park, Spruce Street Harbor Park, will also soon close for the season on August 31st. This Delaware River waterfront haven followed the great success of its polar cousin, the Winterfest pop up at Penn's Landing. Well-loved for the variety of relaxing sanctuaries by the river, Spruce Street Harbor Park will soon roll up its hammock garden and gather up its garden greens. So head quickly, if you are going, to your urban beach and Philly boardwalk of this favorite pop-up spot. September 14th is also an end to the summer concerts in the park at Kahn Park off 11th Street. Following a fine season and great musically variety, the free concerts in the park series ends with the Merion Concert Band. The sun is setting earlier every day, at least for a while. So be sure hold onto as much of the summer sun as you can, in fond memories of memorable summer parks. But hurry.

Ronald Schiller, Vice Chair of the firm, has a broadly diversified trial and arbitration practice. Ron is a business litigator. Ron advises financial institutions, insurers and reinsurers, technology companies, manufacturers, and service providers on litigation avoidance and strategies for trial and settlement. He has hands-on involvement on a routine basis on sensitive and high exposure matters to his clients. He is frequently brought in to litigation when the client desires a fresh evaluation or for the litigation to be prepared for trial and tried. He has also taken over matters for appeal and currently has an active appeal docket.
Ron has represented the world's largest insurers in sophisticated coverage, bad faith, and reinsurance disputes, including in several trials. Since January 2012, he and his team have prepared several insurance coverage disputes for trial, with one ending in a pretrial Phase One result. A substantial part of Ron's practice includes representing insurers and reinsurers against healthcare and managed care companies on E&O, D&O, reinsurance, and ERISA coverage disputes in litigation around the country. In one such matter, in which Ron's team represented two insurers against a large managed care company, the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota granted summary judgment to Ron's clients on September 25, 2014, after years of litigation, dismissing a $350 million claim. Ron and his team are currently preparing to try Brandt and other claims in California cases over the next year.
Ron has also represented government contractors and universities in patent and licensing disputes, including in one three-week patent trial in 2012, and his team has represented commercial online services, telecommunication companies, and backbone and equipment providers in high-stakes commercial litigation against competitors and municipalities.
In the last few years alone, Ron and his teams have tried two bad faith cases in state court and handled one multi-week insurance coverage trial in federal court over a claim for approximately $100 million of claimed indemnity and defense exposure. He has also tried two non-jury cases in state and federal courts between insurers, both to wins for the firm's clients. He has prepared and successfully tried arbitrations. He has also been hired to take over cases shortly before trial, and to take over complex litigation for post-trial proceedings for insurers and reinsurers.
The respected English publisher Chambers & Partners recognized Ron in Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business, noting that clients admire him as "someone who consistently wins big cases." He has repeatedly been selected by his peers as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyer and has been named in The Best Lawyers in America.

Yesterday, I posted a list of the top referrers for 2012. On Monday, I'll post a list of the top posts (by traffic) for 2012. Today, I'd like to reflect on the year from a more personal perspective.
The beginning of the year saw me working a part time job, and working my websites after I quit my job. From a totally personal finance perspective, I messed quite a bit of that whole adventure up. But, from a whole personal perspective, it was something that I needed to do, and I don't regret it for a minute. I left a job that I was unhappy with, and learned quite a bit about myself in the time after that. In May, I started a new job, and really enjoy it. While it's still not what I had pictured when I quit my job, it's something that I needed.
The seven months I spent between full-time jobs really drained our finances, however, and we've spent several months picking up the pieces. There were several months where our incomes did not meet our expenses, and combined with the drained savings, we came really close to going delinquent on a few things. Partially through luck, and partially through the things I've learned about personal finance over the years (It'll be five in June!), we managed to keep current on everything and have now pulled back ahead.
That didn't happen without some sacrifices. We've cut expenses down to bare bones, passed up some fun opportunities, and learned new ways to have some fun. I haven't written a full post on it yet, but I also had to take a distribution of about half of the 401(k) that I had from my previous job. When I do write that post, I'll talk more about that decision and the ramifications. But, it was something that I had to do to cover the gap I had created.
As the year closes, I feel confident that we've turned our finances back towards the direction they're meant to go, and created some space to begin that uphill climb again.
In September, I took a trip to Denver for FINCON12. Not only is it a great learning opportunity for me as a blogger, but also is a great chance to meet a few (400 or so) of my fellow financial bloggers in person. Being able to put faces to websites and logos is a great help, as we all go forward in learning more about personal finance. Some of the connections made at FINCON11 were reunited at FINCON12, and the mastermind group (secret lair not included) that I joined after FINCON11 even got to have an in-person meeting!
All in all, 2012 was a bit of a bumpy year. Both personally and professionally. But, with the right amount of care, and a good bit of recovery maneuvering, we've managed to keep it on the road. 2013 already looks pretty bright from this side of the fence.
See you in 2013!

New Stock Coverage: No Outpouring of Affection for Boise Cascade
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
Corned beef killed the bull.
Dow Industrials
(^DJI), on a record run and having gained every single Friday all year, finished the week with a loss after the NYSE, in its infinite wisdom,
called upon the Irish to conclude proceedings
. Murphy's Law — and
his eponymous native ale
— duly did the rest.
You certainly can't blame dearly departed Julius for an Ides of March implosion, not when
(CSTE) rose 5.28% and
Caesars Entertainment
(CZR) put in another strong showing to end the week with an 18.88% surge. Equities had earlier enjoyed their best spell since 1996, when Alan Greenspan said a blue chip index then at 6,437.10 was "irrationally exuberant"; in his estimation it is now "
significantly undervalued
" at 14,514.11. Truth be told, the intervening years have not been especially kind to the reputation of the Fed head,
nor have they done much
for his
fawning biographer
A flashy debut at venerable Radio City Music Hall failed to excite investors in
Samsung Electronics
(SSNLF), which tumbled 2.6%.
(P) Internet radio, however, confirmed you can indeed teach old dog new tricks, advancing another 20.2% to continue its strong recent run.
The deteriorating situation in Cyprus is attracting the market's attention today, although there is no top-tier US economic data due and it's also quite quiet on the corporate earnings front.
TravelCenters of America
(TA), which released its results earlier this morning, is the pick of quarterly announcements.
Boise Cascade Company
(NYSE:BCC): Shares in the building materials behemoth are only a new Neutral at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, while Deutsche Bank (Hold), and Wells Fargo (Market Perform) are equally unenthusiastic. DA Davidson (Underperform and $28 target price) is even less optimistic. By contrast, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch picks it up at a Buy.
Charles River
(CRL): Bank of America-Merrill has new Neutral rated research on the biotech.
(CVD): The medical laboratory outfit is launched with a Buy and $81 price objective at Bank of America-Merrill, which sees substantial EPS (Earnings Per Share) growth as of next year.
Generac Holdings
(GNRC): Bank of America-Merrill Lynch assigns a Buy on the diversified machinery firm.
PVH Corp.
(PVH): Barclays begins Overweight rated coverage on the apparel outfit, formerly known as Phillips-Van Heusen.
Royal Gold
(RGLD): BB&T Capital resumes a Buy on RGLD.

Brie and Pear Soup
According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, "there are only ten minutes in the life of a pear when it is perfect to eat." Luckily, this soup is perfect anytime. Use Bartlett pears in the early fall, ripe Comice in the winter, fragrant Bosc and Anjou when available. Make sure the Brie is also ripe, preferably a double-creme from France.
Peel the pears. Cut them in thick slices, removing the seeds. Put the chicken broth and pears in a large pot and simmer 10 to 15 minutes, until the pears are very soft. Transfer the pears and broth to a food processor and process until very smooth. Return to the pot and simmer. Trim the rind from the brie and cut the cheese into small pieces. Slowly add the cheese and stir with a wooden spoon until melted. The soup should be creamy and smooth.ADD-ONS:
Garnish with whole pink peppercorns or lightly toasted sliced almonds.WINE SUGGESTION:
Nice with a glass of bold, floral chardonnay like Au Bon Climat from Santa Barbara.

So I've been trying to see if I could speed up the pidigits program, and, well, failed. I'm not alone though, Stephen Blackheath and others have tried too, and no one's managed to make things much, if at all faster.
The main problem seems to be that GHC is allocating a lot of RAM, which must be related to the need for Integers. The current program uses up 500+MB by the time it finishes. Not good.
So, I'm putting a call out to see if anyone else can either think of a better way to get the answer than the current entry, or any tips about reducing memory usage. If you come up with anything, I'd love to hear from you.

text: I did a lot of forum research before I bought my PM9. Mine would FTRB during the first 200 rounds. I had read of others having the same problem on other forums before I purchased it. I called Kahr and they sent me a new barrel and recoil spring/guide rod assembly. It was shipped the day I called and I had it three days later. Great customer service. It has not had any failures since.

Hey guys - well the time draws near. I understand the disappointment in having to wait and that some are not to appreciative of advance notice. We do however like to give a couple days heads up rather than bang here it is.
We were hoping to post pics yesterday but the venue here was kind of crazy. people lost and bumping into each other, people learning where sessions/classes are being held, where the vendors are located, people still arriving late into the night etc. Now that folks have a feel for the area, had a good night sleep and things have settled we will have the time for properly displaying our new products.
Today at 12:30pm vendor displays will open for a couple of hours. This will be "our" time. And during this time we will post preliminary images here.
Thanks for your patience -
ps - hint - "modular" "tall" :biggrin:
Hi Bill,
ok we'll go on waiting.
I know these sort of conferences, as you said, a lot of "trouble" the first day, discussion till 3 or 4 in the morning with old friends, and conference starts at 8.30.... so good luck.
So now we have poles, modular poles, with different sizes between 2 and 6m. 6m can be separated in two 3m poles, and you can also combine two 6m poles to get 12m pole !
For heads, a new range of heads, with complete modularity, rails can be exchanged between upper and horizontal rail with arca clamps, and specific plates for each camera so it perfectly fits on your DSLR and can not twist neither slide down from rail when you attach/detach it :001_smile:
Pictures to follow in few minutes :wink:
New accessories: flash attach on superior rail for NN5, and nadir twist attach on horizontal rail for NN5 that allows you to shoot nadir at correct height, just by twisting vertical rail 180º.
Hi Vincen,
these are good news. Eager to see the new toys.
In really few minutes now pictures of new products :biggrin:
we are eagerly waiting for the new toy to let money jump out of our deep pocket :biggrin:

Disease-resistant wheat varieties debut in KenyaListen /
Two new varieties of disease-resistant wheat have been introduced to farmers in Kenya.
The announcement was made by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on Friday.
FAO says it has worked together with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the development of the new wheat varieties.
It says the agencies manage an interregional technical cooperation project to develop varieties of wheat that are resistant to a devastating type of fungus that causes wheat stem rust.
According to FAO wheat stem rust was under control for over 30 years until it was discovered in 1999 in Uganda. It swiftly spread to neighbouring Kenya.
The agency says the disease, which can destroy 70 to 100 percent of wheat crop yield, has since spread to Iran, Yemen and South Africa and threatens crops as far away as India as spores are carried by wind.
FAO says that over the past two days, thousands of Kenyan farmers have visited Eldoret University in western Kenya for a two-day agricultural fair highlighting the latest farming technologies

William "Bill" Robert Regal, Sr., 81, of Wellington, formerly of Lodi, died Tuesday, February 26, 2013 after a one year illness. He was born June 4, 1931 in Elyria, to the late Theodore and Fern (nee Horton) Regal.
William grew up on a farm in Huntington and also had a home in Lodi for many years. He lived in Wellington for the last three years.
William was known by many as a "#1 truck driver" and enjoyed talking about trucks and truck driving. He enjoyed spending time with his friends, whether it was with the Wellington McDonald's "coffee club" or a group of friends in Lodi at a local diner. Bill enjoyed wood working and had built picnic tables and wishing wells for his family.
William is survived by his wife, Phylis (nee Dague) Regal. In August, they would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. He is also survived by his children, William Jr. (Sandee) Regal of Wellington, Chris Smith of Wellington, Ted (Teresa) Regal of Sullivan and Susan Regal of Wellington; 11 grandchildren; 21 great grandchildren; siblings, Jim (Marilyn) Regal of Wellington, Phillip Regal of Mt. Vernon, Marilyn (Dick) Foster of Florida and Cheryl (Kenny) Gallatin of Ashland.
William was preceded in death by a sister, Shirley Riddle; and a son-in-law, Don Smith.
A memorial service will be held Friday, March 1, 2013, 11 A.M., at the Penfield Community Church, 40775 State Route 18 East, Wellington. Pastor Chris Reutepohler will officiate. Burial will follow at Huntington Cemetery.
Norton Eastman Funeral home is assisting the family with arrangements. Condolences may be expressed online at www.norton-eastmanfuneralhome.com

For many, Robert "Bobby" Shriver is the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and Senators Robert F. and Edward Kennedy. But to the animals that wind up the in the Los Angeles County shelter system, he could be their savior and their hero.
Shriver is running for a seat on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. And for the first time in recent memory, Angelinos can vote for a candidate who is running on a platform which includes shelter reform.
Los Angeles County animal shelters are known nationwide and around the world for their overcrowded and inhumane conditions. Shriver wants to change that.
On his website, Shriver states, "LA County's animal control system needs change now. Animal overpopulation is overwhelming the County's shelters. Staff are overstretched and failing to provide animals with the basic veterinary care, water, nutrition, exercise and case management they are legally entitled to. As a result, County shelters kill upwards of 50% of the animals that come through their doors."
Shriver is an attorney and the president of RSS, Inc., a music, film and philanthropic company. In 1987, he filmed a television series about Special Olympics, an organization founded by his mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
Helping the less fortunate is in his genes. And with your support—and VOTE—his passion to help could be just what the animals of Los Angeles have needed for a long time.
On Sunday, May 25, 2014, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., a fundraiser and meet and greet is being held at the estate of Erika Brunson. Tickets range from $50 to $300. The funds will help Shriver get the word out about his campaign.
For more information or to RSVP please all Stephanie Daily at 310.497.8162 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com. Additional information can also be found here.

Just another simple developer's thoughts!
I was extremely surprised to return home from work and check my email only to find that I have been nominated for the Microsoft MVP Award.
I am honored just to have been nominated for such an award. I have been working as a web developer since 1995 and over the last ten years I have been amazed at the progress Microsoft has made over the years and with the recent official release of .NET 2.0 yesterday. I am very excited to begin working with this new framework as well as the Visual Studio .NET 2005 IDE.
From the bottom of my heart I wish to extend a sincere thank you to Microsoft.

Is it time for Indians and Salukis to become Oilers?
By Bill Richardson
There are 440 Indians in the United States, but only one Salukis.
So says highschoolnicknames.homestead.com, a web site that lists the nicknames of teams for nearly every high school in the United States.
There are also 12 Oilers. Maybe someday soon that number will grow to a baker's dozen. More later.
Research shows that Lawrenceville's teams weren't originally named after a tribe of Indians, but rather for the old Indian Refinery. According to one source, the Indian Refinery provided good jobs for our town from 1907 - about the time Lawrenceville began fielding high school teams - until 1985.
The story of the Saluki name in western Lawrence County is much more certain. Sumner's Arabs and Bridgeport's Bulldogs went out of business after the 1973 school year, forming a new school corporation the following fall.
Legend has it that the initial plan was to name the school Red Hills, but an obscure Illinois law makes it illegal to name a high school after a state park. So Red Hill it was, not technically after the state park.
A reliable source tells me that students at Red Hill were charged with choosing a nickname, with Bulldogs and Arabs both being ruled out.
The solution was a sort of combination of the two. After all, a Saluki is an Arabic dog. The nickname is even more fitting with the Southern Illinois region being universally known as Little Egypt.
Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but maybe some day soon there were only 439 Indians and no more Salukis with one more Oilers.
Lawrenceville and Red Hill already have a cooperative agreement - under the LHS flag - for both cross country and wrestling. Success in those sports has generally been better than in others in recent years and scuttlebutt has it that there have been discussions about competing as one in more sports, perhaps all sports, in the very near future.
Most coaches at both schools seem to favor such an idea. Most suggest - some even insist - that such a plan is the only way our teams will be competitive in the ever-changing Little Illini Conference.
For a model we have to look no further than to neighboring Crawford County, where Palestine and Hutsonville have been competing as one since the fall of 2002. The football, girls basketball and track teams wear Palestine uniforms. Hutsonville hosts the volleyball, boys basketball, baseball and softball teams.
The schools also have a cooperative agreement at the junior high school level, with the exception of boys basketball.
Taking things a step further, is it far-fetched to think that our county will have but one school corporation down the road? Wouldn't there be benefits to consolidation?
Fielding better sports teams really has nothing to do with it. Certainly the logistics of such a move could be worked out, and it's possible a savings to the taxpayers and a better education for our young people would be the net result.
In that instance we'd need a new name, and Oilers has been floated. Would there be a more appropriate way to honor the heritage of our county? Aside from Lawrenceville's four Class A state basketball championships and Bridgeport's runnerup finish during the one-class era, what is Lawrence County better known for than oil?
The nickname would be fairly unique, as we'd be the only Oilers in the Land of Lincoln aside from East Alton-Wood River.
It's said the hardest thing to kill is a school mascot. But think how great our new one - wearing a hard hat and perhaps lugging a pipe wrench - would look.
Maybe it's time for Lawrence County to do what the Beatles suggested way back in 1969. Maybe it's time we come together.

Creative Wishes
Claire S
These stacks are so fun, Erin....thanks so much for sharing all the goodies with us!!ReplyDelete

Here are some of my favorite tips from this list:
- Use a programmable thermostat with your air conditioner to adjust the setting at night or when no one is home.
- Upgraded insulation in the attic and double-paned windows all around,
complete with tinting to reflect sunlight, are good ideas, too.
- Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes
- Avoid landscaping with lots of unshaded rock, cement, or asphalt on the
south or west sides. It increases the temperature around the house and
radiates heat to the house after the sun has set.
- Install white window shades, drapes, or blinds to reflect heat away
from the house. Close curtains on south- and west-facing windows during
the day.
Some of these tips can be a costly out-of-pocket expense, but many of the tips about re-caulking windows and replacing insulation are very cheap ways to keep the cool air in and the hot air out of your home during the summer. I don't like the fact that our country is moving into an energy crisis, but it's the world we live in. Next week, I will discuss what I think we must do to reduce the price of gas and home utilities for the short run while we create technology that allows us to be less dependent on foreign oil. Until then, feel free to add any more of your energy saving tips during the hottest months of the year.

A good two-in-one product is hard to pass up. Especially when it's being sold at what basically amounts to half off. The products in the Model Co Lip Luxe Set Duo ($69), available in three shades, can be worn together or separately as two different lip treatments. Sort of Jekyll and Hyde. Well, maybe not.

The Tampa Bay Rays on Friday afternoon officially announced that they have brought back free agent first baseman James Loney with a three-year, $21 million deal.
Loney's contract is the largest free agent contract given to a Ray's player since owner Stuart Sternberg took over the team in 2005 and is well deserved after a very successful first season with the team.
Loney hit a team high .299 with 13 home runs and 75 RBIs in 158 games and was a finalist for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award.
Loney's signing reunites the 2013 infield (Zobrist, Escobar and Longoria) in which all four players were finalists for the Rawlings Gold Glove Award.
The news of the Loney agreement originally broke back on December 13, but because of an impending physical and working out all the details of the contract, the official announcement was held off until now.
According to Cot's Baseball Contracts, Loney will receive a $5 million signing bonus and salaries of $1 million (2014), $7 million (2015) and $8 million (2016). Loney earned $2 million in 2013.
"I think I just kind of realized where I'd like to be," said Loney, who had interest from several clubs." I knew the team was going to be competitive. So when you have those kinds of factors it definitely makes it a lot easier."
With Loney being locked up for the next three years, it ends the revolving door of first baseman the team has had over the past couple of years that saw the likes of Casey Kotchman, Dan Johnson, Carlos Pena and Luke Scott handle the position.
Bringing Loney back "was something that was a priority for us coming into the winter," said Andrew Friedman, Ray's executive vice president of baseball operations.
A first-round pick by the Dodgers in the 2002 First-Year Player Draft, Loney signed a one-year deal with the Rays prior to last season. He had split the 2012 season between the Red Sox and Dodgers after spending the first six years of his career in Los Angeles.
News and updates
There has never been an off-season that the Rays have gone without some sort of makeover to their roster and in recent years the list of "needs" has grown due to the teams financial limitations. This off-season has been no different.
As soon as the final out was made in Game 6 of the World Series, Roberto Hernandez, Luke Scott, Fernando Rodney, James Loney, Jose Molina, Kelly Johnson, Jesse Crain, Jamey Wright and Delmon Young all became free agents.
Yunel Escobar, Ben Zobrist and David DeJesus had their options picked up, Jose Molina was re-signed to a 2-year deal, and reliever Juan Carlos Oviedo who was recovering from Tommy John surgery and did not pitch in 2013 was non-tendered and re-signed to a 1-year, $1.5 million contract.
Two trades were pulled off, with the Rays acquiring catcher Ryan Hanigan from the Cincinnati Reds and Heath Bell from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
In acquiring Bell, the Rays traded outfielder Todd Glaesmann and pitcher Justin Choate. They will also receive $0.5 million from Arizona. Hanigan who was part of the 3-team trade that included Bell, was then signed to 3-year, $10.75 million deal (2014: $2.75M, 2015: $3.5M, 2016: $3.7M, 2017: $3.75M club option -$0.8million buyout)
It is still very possible that David Price could be traded, a la James Shields last off-season as his salary over the final two years of arbitration may have cost him his time with the Rays. Price is due for another raise in arbitration and speculation is that it could jump to $13 million in 2014.
While Friedman has been non-committal, Price himself is preparing for a trade and manager Joe Maddon told Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune that change is part of the Rays culture and because of that Price is mentally preparing for an off-season trade.
Player transactions and more
Arrivals: RHP Heath Bell (trade with Diamondbacks), C Ryan Hanigan (trade with Reds), claimed LF Jerry Sands off waivers from Pittsburgh Pirates, claimed reliever Pedro Figueroa off waivers from the A's.
Departures: INF Kelly Johnson (free agent, signed with Yankees), RHP Roberto Hernandez (free agent, signed with Phillies), LHP Wesley Wright (non-tendered, signed with Cubs), C Chris Gimenez (claimed off waivers by A's), RHP Jamey Wright (free agent, signed with Dodgers), RHP Jesse Crain (free agent, signed with Astros) and DH Luke Scott (free agent, signed with SK Wyverns - Korea)
Arbitration Eligible: David Price (2013 $10.11; projected $13.1), Matt Joyce (2013 $2.45 million; projected $3.7), Sean Rodriguez (2013 $1 million; projected 1.3), Jake McGee*(2013 $506,200; project $1.2), Jeremy Hellickson*(2013 $503,000; projected $3.3), Cesar Ramos* (2013 $501,300; projected $700,000) and Jose Lobaton (2013 $496,500; projected $1.0).*- first time eligible
Tendered players who don't sign by Jan. 14 file for arbitration, with figures exchanged Jan. 17 and hearings in February. Non-tendered players become free agents, which also means the Rays could have more candidates to consider as they seek relievers and a bench player or two.
Medical Watch
Tim Beckham (right knee surgery in December 2013) had a torn ACL repaired. He is expected to miss six to eight months.

When I first heard that the Mane 'n Tail Shampoo was originally made for horses, I thought that was just plain…weird. Almost everyone's touched a horse and will have noticed, like I did, that horse hair and human hair are quite different. But there are lots of people who swear by this shampoo. I've been curious about it and finally bought a small bottle.
Product claim:
The original horse to human crossover shampoo that provides fuller, stronger, longer, healthier hair.
Original Mane 'n Tail Shampoo benefits:
- The ORIGINAL exclusive micro-enriched protein formula.
- Gentle rich fragrant lather provides "down to the scalp" cleansing action without stripping natural oils.
- Unique formula contains conditioning emollients providing body, shine and manageability for healthy looking hair every time you shampoo.
Mane 'n Tail actually has several shampoo variants, but Original was the only one I saw at PCX, where I bought the product. Would've been interesting to try their color protect shampoo as well…but anyway, I got the 4 oz/120 ml bottle for PhP 108, which is pretty affordable. Mane 'n Tail shampoos and conditioners are available at most drugstores and supermarkets as well.
The scent of the Mane 'n Tail Original Shampoo is a gentle, clean fruity floral. It's quite mild. The scent is pretty generic, but not bad. I don't like it nor do I dislike it, it's just okay. I'm not terribly particular about the scent of my shampoo.
The consistency of it is kinda thin and a little runny. It doesn't produce a lot of lather, compared to most shampoos I've gotten at the supermarket. It's hard for me to get all of my hair well lathered with this so sometimes I feel like I'm not able to clean my hair properly. While rinsing it out my tresses feels tangled and a bit rough.
As for my hair type, it's naturally straight, thin, and dry, and recently I've been coloring it. Combing and drying my hair after washing it with the Mane 'n Tail Original Shampoo, it's less frizzy and noticeably more full-bodied. However, it also feels somewhat rough. This shampoo just isn't very moisturizing on my tresses. At the end of the day, the hair on the top part of my head feels a little more oily than usual, while the ends feel dry.
I used this exclusively for a couple of weeks, and another thing I noticed was that I got build-up on my scalp after using this for a while. I really dislike the feeling of an oily, heavy scalp, so I think it'd be better for me not to use this daily. I also rarely used conditioner with this while I was using it, so I'd see how it performed on its own, but looking at the directions on the back of the bottle, I probably should've bought the Mane 'n Tail Conditioner as this is supposed to work best with that.
Mane 'n Tail Original Shampoo – Pros:
- Is available in a smaller size, for testing.
- Smells okay.
- Rinses out easily.
- Makes my tresses more full-bodied.
- Reduces frizz.
- It's not too expensive.
- Easily accessible.
Mane 'n Tail Original Shampoo – Cons:
- Not moisturizing. My hair feels kinda rough after using this.
- There was build-up on my scalp after a while of use.
- Makes the hair on the top of my head more oily, while the ends feel dry.
I tried to love this conditioner, but it's simply not working for me. Perhaps it's just not for my hair type. I might try it with the Mane 'n Tail Conditioner, and if I get better results using the two products together, then great. If not, I'll use this on my dog.

Throughout your life, you have learnt in various ways such as in your job, your hobbies or by attending courses that interested you. In the process you have gained knowledge, skills and competencies in a number of fields of study or subject areas, in both formal and informal learning settings.
RPL is a process to recognise the skills and knowledge you have as a result of your learning through:
When you apply for RPL you compare the things you have already learned from your current experience, education and life experience with the things that a study programme would teach you. These things are called learning outcomes of a qualification or study programme.
Following your school career, you may have completed short courses offered by various institutions or you may have received in-service training. On the other hand, you may never have obtained any qualifications at all – but you may have many years of learning which makes you a valued employee. You may have done voluntary or paid work in your community or perhaps you have had practical learning experiences in a particular industry or occupation. Perhaps you have read widely in a field which interests you, or have done research as a hobby.
For all of the above, RPL is a way of assessing your knowledge, skills and competencies against the outcomes (what the student should be able to know and do) for study programmes, qualifications or subjects/modules. If, through the process of RPL, you are found to be competent, you may qualify for admission into a qualification or you may be awarded credits for subjects/modules within a qualification.
We use RPL to help you gain admission to an institution and/or earn credits in a programme of study.
For example : Nthabiseng obtained a grade 12 (Matric) certificate 5 years ago but not with very good marks and without the correct subject choices to allow her to study further.
As a result, she started working as a clerk where she has gained valuable experience, skills, knowledge and competencies over a period of years. Her employer sent her on various short courses through which she grew and developed into a valuable employee.
She is now at a point in her life where she feels that she is mature and has enough motivation, skills and competencies to study further towards a degree or a diploma in the field in which she has been working. She would like to enroll for a degree in Office Administration but sadly her formal qualifications will not allow for that.
RPL may be her answer as it may be a way for her to gain admission and/or credits for further studies that she so desperately wants.

FOC FOR 3.May.2010
Freedom Of Creation was approached by NEXT architects to create an exact replica of an existing roof structure for a scale model. NEXT Architects needed to include the existing building structure in their model. But how to create such a complex structure quickly and precisely?
3D printing was the answer, the parts were drawn by NEXT architects and produced in one of our Laser Sintering systems. Each of the beam sections is only 1mm in thickness. Combining the 3D printed parts with the traditional maquette built by Made by mistake, NEXT Architects created a fabulous model.
