I remember that a couple of years ago a friend showed me and some other people the following expression:
$$\lim_{n\to \infty}\frac{1^n+2^n+\cdots+(n-1)^n}{n^n}.$$
As shown below, I can prove that this limit exists by the monotone convergence theorem. I also remember that my friend gave a very dubious "proof" that the value of the limit is $\frac{1}{e-1}$. I cannot remember the details of the proof, but I am fairly certain that it made the common error of treating $n$ as a variable in some places at some times and as a constant in other places at other times. Nevertheless, numerical analysis suggests that the value my friend gave was correct, even if his methods were flawed. My question is then:
What is the value of this limit and how do we prove it rigorously?
(Also, for bonus points, What might my friend's original proof have been and what exactly was his error, if any?)
I give my convergence proof below in two parts. In both parts, I define the sequence $a_n$ by $a_n=\frac{1^n+2^n+\cdots+(n-1)^n}{n^n}$ for all integers $n\ge 2$. First, I prove that $a_n$ is bounded above by $1$. Second, I prove that $a_n$ is increasing.
(1) The sequence $a_n$ satisfies $a_n<1$ for all $n\ge 2$.
Note that $a_n<1$ is equivalent to $1^n+2^n+\cdots+(n-1)^n<n^n$. I prove this second statement by induction. Observe that $1^2=1<4=2^2$. Now suppose that $1^n+2^n+\cdots+(n-1)^n<n^n$ for some integer $n\ge 2$. Then
$$1^{n+1}+2^{n+1}+\cdots+(n-1)^{n+1}+n^{n+1}\le(n-1)(1^n+2^n+\cdots+(n-1)^n)+n^{n+1}<(n-1)n^n+n^{n+1}<(n+1)n^n+n^{n+1}\le n^{n+1}+(n+1)n^n+\binom{n+1}{2}n^{n-1}+\cdots+1=(n+1)^{n+1}.$$
(2) The sequence $a_n$ is increasing for all $n\ge 2$.
We must first prove the following preliminary proposition. (I'm not sure if "lemma" is appropriate for this.)
(2a) For all integers $n\ge 2$ and $2\le k\le n$, $\left(\frac{k-1}{k}\right)^n\le\left(\frac{k}{k+1}\right)^{n+1}$.
We observe that $k^2-1\le kn$, so upon division by $k(k^2-1)$, we get $\frac{1}{k}\le\frac{n}{k^2-1}$. By Bernoulli's Inequality, we may find:
$$\frac{k+1}{k}\le 1+\frac{n}{k^2-1}\le\left(1+\frac{1}{k^2-1}\right)^n=\left(\frac{k^2}{k^2-1}\right)^n.$$
A little multiplication and we arrive at $\left(\frac{k-1}{k}\right)^n\le\left(\frac{k}{k+1}\right)^{n+1}$.
We may now first apply this to see that $\left(\frac{n-1}{n}\right)^n\le\left(\frac{n}{n+1}\right)^{n+1}$. Then we suppose that for some integer $2\le k\le n$, we have $\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n\le\left(\frac{k+1}{n+1}\right)^{n+1}$. Then:
By backwards (finite) induction from $n$, we have that $\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n\le\left(\frac{k+1}{n+1}\right)^{n+1}$ for all integers $1\le k\le n$, so:
(In fact, this proves that $a_n$ is strictly increasing.) By the monotone convergence theorem, $a_n$ converges.
I should note that I am not especially well-practiced in proving these sorts of inequalities, so I may have given a significantly more complicated proof than necessary. If this is the case, feel free to explain in a comment or in your answer. I'd love to get a better grip on these inequalities in addition to finding out what the limit is.

Ilex | ISBN 9781781570012
Flexi jacket – 176 pages
Member's price: $17.96
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
Explore a world of cool, quirky, and collectable vintage cameras The huge growth of sales in Lomography-style plastic-lens cameras shows that interest in, and love of, cheap, fun, cameras has never been stronger. But the few models that are still manufactured are only the tip of the iceberg, with hundreds of amazing, exciting, weird and wonderful cameras widely available at yard sales, thrift stores and online. This book is the first to look at every significant 'people's camera' launched since Kodak Box Brownie brought cameras to the masses in 1908—and some cool gadgets too—providing a fascinating insight into the tastes of previous generations. Not only that, but each featured camera is accompanied by rare original promotional materials, so you can see exactly what its manufacturers, or Madison Avenue, made of the latest camera in its day (and learn a bit about your grandfather's world!).

Some sad news from the wrestling world has come about as Nelson Frazier, Jr. - known as Mabel, Big Daddy V, and Viscera - has passed away. Wrestlezone reported that Frazier died of a massive heart attack and passed on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014.
Nelson Frazier, Jr. was just 42-years-old, and he just turned that age on Feb. 14, 2014.
He wrestled in WWE for numerous years and during many different eras. He first appeared in the mid-nineties as Mabel and was part of a tag team called The Harlem Knights before their name was changed to Men on a Mission.
Later in his career, he wrestled as Viscera and was a part of the Ministry of Darkness stable led by the Undertaker. After a short stint, he left and came back again in 2004.
Once he returned, he moved around from show to show and was eventually repacked for the new ECW brand as Big Daddy V. He last wrestled for WWE back in March of 2008 when he lost to CM Punk.
Big Daddy V's passing was confirmed on Twitter by ECW legend Tommy Dreamer:
"I am shocked & so sad. Mabel, Viscera, Big Daddy V (Nelson Frazaier) passed away. He was a good friend."
Frazier's passing was also confirmed by a respected pro wrestling agent by the name of Eric Simms. He said he had spoken with Frazier's wife who said her husband passed of "a massive heart attack."

The natural phenomenon that causes the inseparable attraction of faggots. It is characterized by fields of faggotry force. It is the force exerted by a fagnetic field, an alluring force of gayness, which converts normal human beings into faggots.
Why did you invite those faggots Nick and Donovan? When they are together, their fagnetism is increased ten fold. If we don't leave now we will be drawn into their fagnetic field by the faggotry force, and in turn become faggots.

BMI Not So Good For Asians
the growing doubt surrounding the Body Mass Index. The BMI is commonly used to determine if a person is of healthy bodyweight, but as Carrol explained it has its problems:
BMI can be way off, especially when it comes to assessing a particular individual. The commonly used measure can give a skewed result not only for fit body builders who come out with a high number because of the extra weight associated with muscle, but also for the elderly, who tend to have scores that underestimate obesity because they have so much less muscle.In response Dr. Fuhrman provided his method of determining whether or not someone has a healthy bodyweight:
I just take a pinch near the umbilicus and squeeze it lightly between two fingers and measure the distance between the fingers.Well, we might need to start pinching Asians. Because according to a new report by Malcolm Burgess of AFP the Body Mass Index often misdiagnoses them:
The standard way to define obesity uses the body-mass index -- a measure of weight divided by height -- but weight-related ill health appeared in East and South Asians at a lower cut-off point than in Caucasians, they said.Burgess cites the spread of the western diet and lifestyle as a reason why Asians are getting heftier:
World Health Organisation guidelines say a BMI of 25 is healthy, more than 25 is overweight and more than 30 obese.
Taiwanese academic Pan Wen-Harn told the 10th International Congress on Obesity in Sydney that such criteria missed a large number of people in Asia.
Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Indians experienced metabolic risks such as hypertension and diabetes at a much lower threshold, she said.
"You don't have to wait until you get a BMI of over 25 -- even at 23 or 24 a substantial number of people have those diseases," she said.
Indian researcher Naval Vikram agreed that while the westernisation of the Indian diet and less physical exercise contributed to metabolic disorders, most blame lay with genetic make-up.This story harks at the same issues illustrated in the series of reports by The New York Times investigating the diabetes epidemic in New York City. Here's an excerpt from N.R. Kleinfield's report:
Indians tended to have high body fat, a low body-mass index, high abdominal fat and a low waist circumference, he said.
They suffered hypertension and lipid problems at a BMI of 22 or 23 -- much lower than other ethic groups, he said.
"If we use international definitions we will be missing about 15 to 20 percent of people whom we would be able to identify with a lower cut-off point. That's a substantially large proportion, taking the population of India," he said.
One in three children born in the United States five years ago are expected to become diabetic in their lifetimes, according to a projection by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The forecast is even bleaker for Latinos: one in every two.Fellow New York Times reporter Marc Santora offers up more evidence that the Western way of eating isn't well-suited for Asians:
New York, perhaps more than any other big city, harbors all the ingredients for a continued epidemic. It has large numbers of the poor and obese, who are at higher risk. It has a growing population of Latinos, who get the disease in disproportionate numbers, and of Asians, who can develop it at much lower weights than people of other races.
Asian children in New York are obese, more than twice the rate among their parents. And they say there is mounting evidence - including soaring diabetes rates in major cities in China, and in other countries with Chinese immigrants - that New York will soon experience a similar explosion as more Asians arrive and have their first encounters with Western ways.It really seems like the problem extends beyond the shortcomings of the BMI. In Eat to Live Dr. Fuhrman explains Asians, in particular the Chinese who traditionally eat a very healthy plant-based diet, are biologically reeling from the effects of the Western lifestyle:
The clash of cultures is vividly apparent in Flushing, one of the city's new Chinatowns. On streets like Roosevelt Avenue, older immigrants still throng traditional Asian markets, with their signs in Chinese, and dine at noodle shops where windows fog with steam. Their children, however, are increasingly lured by fast food. Along a 100-yard strip of storefronts are a McDonald's, a Burger King, a Taco Bell, a Pizza Hut, and a Joe's Best Burger.
Even in China, the number of obese people has tripled since 1992 to 90 million, as Western food has become popular and prosperity has made it possible to eat more. The World Health Organization has warned that Asia faces a "tsunami" of diabetes in the coming decade, and health officials have assailed the Chinese government for its tepid response to the crisis.
The Chinese [living in China], who on the average consume more calories, are thinner than Americans.1 In China the calorie intake per kilogram of body weight is 30 percent higher than in the United States. The Chinese eat about 270 more calories per day than Americans, yet they are invariably thin. Exercise cannot fully explain this difference, as researchers discovered the same thing with Chinese office workers as well.1. Campbell, T.C., and J. Chen. 1994. Diet and chronic degenerative diseases, in Western diseases: their dietary prevention and reversibility. Edited by M.J. Temple and D.P. Burkitt. Totowa, N.J.: Humana Press, pp. 67-119.
This may be because calories from carbohydrates are not as likely to increase body fat as the same number of calories from high-fat foods such as oils and meats, which make up such a high proportion of the American diet. The data suggests that when a very low fat diet is consumed (15 percent average dietary fat in rural China), as compared to the typical Western diet (30-45 percent of calories from fat), more calories are burned to convert carbohydrate in fat, so the body cannot store fat easily.
The modern American diet receives about 37 percent of its calories from fat, with lots of sugar and refined carbohydrates. The combination of high fat and high sugar is a metabolic disaster that causes weight gain, independent of the number of calories.

mitt/ryan is going down in flames.....
the two opposing philosophies have been vetted, and OURS wins...
capitalism isnt perfect, in fact it is messy, like democracy.
but if the wealthy have offshored 50 trillion??, and meanwhile they have a zombie army of 40 million drones squaking about the deficit??
the wealty are hording a lump sum, that is 3.5 times the amount of the current national debt(16 trillion)
they could pay the deficit off any old time they want to, but what are they doing??
they are biting the hand that feeds them and outsourcing all the good jobs, while they OFFSHORE all the HUmungous profits!!!
isnt it the consumer demand of the middle class that drives these markets, that the wealthy capitalize on???
should they be giving back MORE than the average ???
many of the roads and bridges that corporate america depends on(to reap those outrageous profits!) are in dire need of repair.
like they used to??
#5148 Sep 23, 2012
I've looked his "window to the soul" and it's pitch dark, Willard Mitt Romney brings only the worst.
Him and his kind will only bring a very cold winter to the worlds soul.
United States

When is the Erin is driving to Hesperia, California and also she's white lady/brown hair?
#5150 Sep 23, 2012
I guess Willard Mitt Romeny needs to U-Haul his and his satanic evil doers long and crooked road they have traveled inorder to install a new order.
Beware for they are working for powers unearthly, each has been promised a planet of there own. They will promise you anything for your vote, beware they have been turned to salt, hence salt lake city, utah..
#5151 Sep 23, 2012
Goldwater was conservative, Mitt is not. I agree, we need to fix our roads, I thought the last stimulus did that? Or did it build that bridge in Napa for Pelosi that nobody drives on or did it go to build a tunnel or train to no where?
#5152 Sep 23, 2012
Thank you obama for saving our wine train: And a big thanks to Nancy Pelosi:
$54 million earmarked by Obamas Stimulus Package to finance something called The Wine Train in Californias scenic Napa Valley. Because an investigation just published by California Watch and reprinted in the San Francisco Chronicle shows that the Wine Train scam was far worse than you imagined. The $54 million wasnt just spent on an overpriced not-a-thrill ride for tipsy tourists: it was thrown down the toilet on a no-bid contract handed to a shady Alaskan front corporation which deviously abused race-based set-aside laws to land a vastly overpriced deal which they then proceeded to subcontract at a much lower rate to a different company, while pocketing a cool $20 million for doing no work whatsoever.
Nancy Pelosi and her husband own some of that wonderful St Helena property, actually a vineyard. Oops, were the little people to know that?
#5153 Sep 23, 2012
If it get boring, then try pulling a set of doubles.
Just what i thought your trying to pull a trailer with too small a ball?
#5154 Sep 24, 2012
mitt isnt a conservative??
then what the Hell is he??
a libertarian??
thats rich....
yes bridges and tunnels to nowhere.....
they just finished new pylons on the bridge here....
they didnt need them.
and the highway gets VERY little traffic.
but it kept a bunch of romney voters(and obama voters as well) employed.
....and spending money here in the north state.
we need infrastructure improvements, but the most needy improvemnts are around urban areas....
like where you live.
the last stim was spread over MANY areas of life.
the roads and bridges themselves would take 800 billion to fix!
but then again, the wealthy used them TO THE MAX, and offshored 50 trillion in foriegn accounts!!
the annual interest on that money is about trillion and a half!!
#5155 Sep 24, 2012
as opposed to the 4 billion dollars oil companies recieve every year in tax subsidies??
are those on the table on your spending cutting regime??
is defense spending on the table?? or other entitlements for the rich?
no?? then we CANNOT have a serious conversation about deficit reduction, if all you're will to pick on is a poor little 54 million dollar tourist attraction.
tourism is the life blood of this states economy....as opposed to texas or louisiana, which have POOR enviroments, and cater to the fossil fuel industry.
the wealthy continue to bilk the middle class, and all you want to do is make it easier for them to continue....
yeah lets balance the budget on the backs of the poor and middle class(like walker did in wisconsin), while the uber wealthy, who got uber wealthy OFF US, offshore grotesque sums of loot.!!
great idea....
#5156 Sep 24, 2012
What's to oppose, global warmning is common fact.
Of course there are those like Willard Mitt Romney who can't understand the facts, Bain Capital for example.
#5157 Sep 24, 2012
hardly, do u know anything about Goldwater? In fact, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan are arguably the only true conservatives the Republicans have nominated in the post-World War II era.
Romney clearly isn't "a conservative." Moreover, it's not clear that he's even "conservative,"
#5158 Sep 24, 2012
The new buzz word, we don't like crooks who steal public funds, tax dollars federal and state etc..
Happy days ended when an arrest warrant was issed for Nick Conway of sgvCOG in 2012..
Nick Conway of the sgvCOG has been a bigger problem in the backside than orginally though.
#5160 Sep 24, 2012
Ok, you know the nuances of your party better than I...
i do understand that they are not exactly the same on all fronts...
goldwater was actually very secular comapred with where the party went after 1980.
it is the loonatic social "conservative" that have hijacked the republican party, making them unelectable(and unfit) for the presidency.
the "fiscal" conservatives, like reagan and goldwater, people who were moderate at one time(long ago) about social issues??
those Type of republicans (moderates, who you could call conservatives) have been drummed out of your party,....
primaried to death.
reagan or goldwater, wouldnt win a primary race in the current, new new republican party.
in the senate races??? the you end up with the chritine odonells and the joe millers, thus losing the seat to the demmy's!!
prescot bush and his family(george included) were compleatly pro-choice before the "social" conservative revolution in your party around tthe time of reagan. prescott was even one of the founding fathers of Planned parenthood, the bane of all "social conservatives" on the FAR right.
the orthodoxy that the tea party has brought to the table, lets no one else GET TO the table to negociate....
i hope this changes, as you guys arnt likely to win the whitehouse with rick santurum, newt, rick perry or michelle bachmann....
it will have to be a moderate candidate, to build a coalition in the middle.
otherwise, your party will NEVER win the whitehouse again.
also,purge the racists, and stop persecuting womens health, then youll have a better chance to be competative.
#5161 Sep 24, 2012
By gones be by gones, so is Willard Mitt Romney.
#5162 Sep 24, 2012
September 2012 and how many "green jobs" do we have? What a freaking joke!
#5163 Sep 24, 2012
Such a sad state of affairs, haveing a talking sawdust head like Wilard Mitt Romney speaking at will.
Willard says your still number 47 in my book.
Since: Sep 10
#5164 Sep 24, 2012
...really? did you know the things went south when mitt left bain capital? in 1999,.....turn off the local media networks, that gets their marching orders from the white house, and media matters, under the direction of commie , best buds, of obama, george soros....
"Taste great in milk!"
Since: Aug 08
#5165 Sep 24, 2012
You're a piece of poo.
#5166 Sep 24, 2012
I agree that I know more about what a conservative is if you consider Mitt one. I am not in a party. Or party much at all. Glad we agree for once.

"Falling Skies" kicks off its fourth season with a very strong premiere in "Ghost in the Machine," which introduces a changed world and divides the 2nd Mass in a dramatic way, on Sunday, June 22. At the same time, it keeps what has made this show so good for the past three summers and continues to show why TNT's sci-fi hit remains a must-watch series.
Just like things have changed behind the scenes (David Eick is now the showrunner), the world of "Falling Skies" changes dramatically in the first five minutes of the season premiere. When season 3 ended, the 2nd Mass was back on the road, headed for Charleston, and within moments of getting in sight of their latest "home," everything is blown to hell (and not just Maggie and Hal's relationship, which has become downright chilly after Karen), and it all begins with Lexi's "We don't all have to die here," which pretty much helps to serve as a reminder that hey, this little girl is no ordinary little girl. (And oh yeah, she should be just a baby right now too.) Obelisks are dropped in the ground, killer laser walls go up and separate and kill the survivors and Mechs arrive on scene to attack amidst the chaos. The 2nd Mass is left with no choice but to separate and run, at least those who can, and after that, it's a jump to four months later.
With the time jump, the different groups are pretty much established (or well on their way to being established, with a few new characters being introduced) when we see everyone after the initial attack. What that means is more danger for everyone in different ways, with the stakes raised with the survivors split up and the search for loved ones is ongoing. Splitting up the group steps up the game, giving the show time to not only explore individual characters in a way it hasn't before, putting them in new situations, but also to explore new relationships, to see how certain characters who haven't previously spent much or any time together react to their given situations. Even with these changes, something remains the same: it's visually stunning, and the effects are unlike what you're used to seeing on TV every day.
Going into a fourth season on a series, especially a sci-fi series and especially on TV now, it's important to do something to up the ante, and considering the words "human race" and "extinction" are used in the same sentence, "Falling Skies" seems to be doing just that. Sure, it's not like they were exactly in a hopeful position before, facing off against the Espheni to take back Earth, but things have seriously changed with the aliens this season. They're no longer harnessing kids. They're not using eyeworms. The Espheni are constructing a new power source. The Volm are no longer a real option as an ally, with most of them off fighting elsewhere.
However, despite what has changed, despite the group being separated, family is still the central theme. Even separated, what the 2nd Mass wants is to be reunited again. Ben wants to find the rest of their family, even moments after waking up from a coma. Tom tasks Cochise with finding the rest of his family, with only Hal inside the camp with him. Anne is so determined to find Lexi that she's running her soldiers ragged, not even wanting to stop to sleep. Weaver is so determined to get his daughter back, Tom has to talk him out of doing something that will get him killed.
This may be a sci-fi drama, about survivors of an alien invasion fighting to take back their planet, but at the heart of it is a very human story. As much as they're fighting the aliens, they're also fighting each other and themselves, and that is a struggle that has been front-and-center since the beginning and, like the theme of family, will probably be just as important at the end, whenever that may be.
That said, not everything is perfect about the premiere. It's always hard to figure out just how to handle discussing passage of time without the use of the "X days/weeks/months later" model, and some of that is done decently in the premiere, but Tom and Anne's initial "How long have we been on the road? 20 days?" "22 days" conversation is not one such instance.
Meanwhile, remember how the Volm wanted humans to just sit back and relax on a beach in Brazil? (Well, maybe not the beach part.) Well, the Volm have just packed up and left, only leaving a handful of units behind, so if for some reason, Tom and the 2nd Mass had gone along with that plan, they'd be stuck in Brazil. Yes, it's kind of mentioned in an off-hand way, with Cochise admitting that his father did just abandon them, but that could have been handled in a better way.
Another point is that people seem to think that Pope is going to change and not just be looking out for himself. Hal and Tector really do seem to believe they can successfully get a generator away from him, but Pope reminds them whose side he's on: "Same side as always. Mine."
Ready to get into what happened in "Ghost in the Machine"? Read on for a recap.
Ghetto camp and solitary shenanigans Weaver is thrown into a cell next to Tom's, and he doesn't go quietly. "I'll have your skitter balls on a skewer! All six of them!" He promises, and his ranting and raving doesn't stop until Tom gets his attention. (Weaver also makes sure to point out that he knew the Volm would betray them.) In a way, they're better off where they are in solitary than down in the ghetto, because down there, black hornets are flying around and whisking people up to the Eye in the Sky.
"You keep thinking. Let me know when you think up an AK-47," Weaver tells him, but he's busy working on his own plan, and he unscrews a leg from his bed, ready to fight his way out and go find Jeanne. Tom talks him out of it, but he doesn't exactly get good news when he meets up with Cochise. The Volm have left, with only a few recon teams left. The Espheni are constructing a new power source that would neutralize any further attempt to liberate humanity. The ghetto camps are worldwide. Cochise's unit is annoyed he stopped to see Tom. Humanity is facing extinction.
Meanwhile, Hal and Tector try to take down the wall, but they need more power, and that means turning to Pope, who's relaxing in his robe, watching "Gilligan's Island." "There is no more us," Pope declares. He's on his own side, as always, and when they try to take his generator, he chases after them. Hal fights back, but he loses, and Pope returns to his lair with his generator. The fight does lead to Dingaan finding Hal and Tector later on and telling them he's escaped from ghettos before, only to be picked up again. He knows how to get out.
However, Tom's not staying in his cell. Instead, he's riding around like a vigilante, threatening Pope with a flamethrower to get him to stop hoarding the food, and keeping track of where the skitters are coming from and patrolling on a map drawn on the wall and hidden behind a mirror. He's working on a way out. His vigilantism has caught the aliens' notice, and they want the "Ghost," as he's being called, found – or it's extermination for everyone.
Road warriors Anne has become quite the soldier in the past four months, and she only cares about finding her daughter. She only agrees to rest for the night when she finds out a transport with supplies is coming through the next morning. However, when they do manage to take it out (but not without a snag, when the detonator doesn't work), it's not full of supplies. There are children in the back, and Anne's plan then becomes to follow the same road in hopes that Lexi is where they were taking the children. That night, she startles awake from a nightmare, a memory, of Karen touching her inside on the ship.
Peace in Chinatown Ben wakes up from a frontal lobe coma to learn' that while Maggie, Lourdes and Lexi are in Chinatown as well, the others are not – and no one in Chinatown is carrying a gun or guarding the perimeter. The war hasn't come there, and it's a place committed to peace, as Lourdes, who has definitely been drinking the crazy Kool-Aid, informs him. He's also been out long enough for Lexi to look like she's 21. Like Lourdes (but not like Maggie), Lexi wars a necklace of interlocking circles. "It means unity," she explains when Ben asks her. "For all three of us." He protected her, she tells him, and now she's protecting him. They're there to leave peacefully, without war.
Ben can't believe Maggie is on board with this, but she's checked the perimeter, and nothing. She explains that Lexi said if they pick up their guns, the Espheni pick up theirs. Plus, when a mech did find them, Lexi told them to wait and it was struck by a bolt of lightning. It's now this creepy memorial/altar/worshipping place in the middle of the street. Maggie suggests that maybe Lexi has the answer to ending the war.
That same unity symbol from the necklace is on the wall of Lexi's room. When she reaches out to touch the moonlight, it's like she's playing musical notes and it reflects off her hand like a mirror.
Reeducating the children Matt ends up in a youth camp promoting harmonious coexistence with the Espheni, and the kids are being brainwashed into turning in rebels. In order to eat, they have to answer questions correctly, and it's all about accepting the aliens. In fact, when Mira yells out, "My parents are dead! The skitters killed them! These are all lies!" and tries to leave, other kids surround her and blow their whistles, a pretty good indication of just how deep this brainwashing goes.
However, that's not true for all of them, as Matt reveals to Mira in a secret meeting in his room with a few other kids. They're only pretending to go along with it for now, and then they're going to strike.
"Falling Skies" season 4 airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on TNT. What did you think of the premiere "Ghost in the Machine"?

Link's not working for me...
This is a discussion on 3D targets with 3D glasses, are they good? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Hi, Does anyone have experience with the 3D targets and glasses available at LE Targets? https://www.letargets.com/estylez_ps...ontext=~1~1.11 Looks like an interesting way to spice up practice ...
Does anyone have experience with the 3D targets and glasses available at LE Targets?
Looks like an interesting way to spice up practice for a bit.
Link's not working for me...
"Who is to say that I am not an instrument of karma? Indeed, who is to say that I am not the very hand of God himself, dispatched by the Almighty to smite the Philistines and hypocrites, to lay low the dishonest and corrupt, and to bust the jawbone of some jackass that so desperately deserves it?"
Don't have experience with them, but I would think the 3-D glasses might affect your vision to some extent.

I think it would work amazing with 3d targets, as long as you have 3d glasses in the real world.
Get the U.N. out of the U.S.
Get the U.S. out of the U.N.
I just can't imagine that would work.
All the methods I have seen for "3D" images create the effect by "tricking" your eyes into thinking they are looking at the same image, even though they are each seeing a different image slightly offset from each other.
I have never used these types of targets, but here is what I imagine would happen. If you were right eye dominant and shooting at a "3D" target that appears to be closer to you than the actual target is, you would actually hit the paper target left of the intended point. If you were left eye dominant you would tend to hit right of the intended point.
It would probably be cool, but I also think these would be single-use targets because the first hole in the target would not match what the other eye saw and the "3D" illusion would not work as well.
That is without a doubt the stupidest idea I've heard this week.
Why 3D?
Forget the stationary targets and sights...start shooting things set up at the range that move either towards you, or across your path...and in dim light.
Now you're talking real life WalMart Parking lot scenarios. OMO
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

The targets themselves are quite good though.
Not sure about the 3-D advantage but, I have purchased targets from them before and I like them.
Think about it for a second. Unless you only have one functioning eye (or you're closing one eye) every target you shoot is "3D". Unless you live inside a video game.
When you've got 'em by the balls, their hearts & minds will follow. Semper Fi.
Looks neat. I emailed the boss about getting some to try. We looked at these folks at SHOT to see about upgrading part of our range to rifle caliber using their plastic block barriers. Neat stuff.
But the 3D isn't the neatest target they sell. This one is!
Placement, placement, placement
I've used them - a regular at the range had them a few weeks ago. They do, in fact, look 3-dimensional. It doesn't really change anything about shooting them, other than the fact that they look cool if staring at the target rather than shooting it is what you're interested in. Ultimately, 2D or 3D, the target profile is always the same.

I had been working 70 hours a week and telling my boss it is too much. He never listened. At 9 weeks pregnant I started having issues and my dr said I need to cut back and she wrote a letter to my employer stating that I can't work more than 8 hours a day. That was 6 weeks ago. I've been round and round between discussing with my boss and hr. My boss has done nothing to relieve my workload and has added a new project on top of what I already have. He's been telling me now for a month that he will move this new project to someone else but nothing ever happens. A week ago he said he was moving it and just had to discuss with the client to tell them. 2 days went by and I never heard an update, and then the following day I asked him when this will be moved to someone else and his response was that he never officially decided he was moving it (even though he has said for a month now that he is). I went back to hr to fill her in and she told me that he told her he had addressed the situation and everything was fine. So he lied to hr. HR then said she would set up a meeting for the 3 of us and that was one week ago today. No meeting was set up. I went to see her Wednesday and asked if she talked to him and she hadnt. My boss now set up a meeting for he and I to discuss on Monday.
I'm fed up. I am sick of being given the run-around and I am offended that my boss seems to think he can ignore a letter from a medical doctor. I'm offended that there's obviously no support here and really this place doesn't care about the well-being of their employees.
So what would you do? My next idea was to contact the hr manager, who is offsite in anther state. The woman here is a HR rep and maybe she doesn't really have enough pull to make my boss do anything. I work for a large company and I know that going "outside the building" will turn heads. I know that's what I need, but that can also reflect poorly on me. In a way I don't care because I hope to find somewhere else to work after having my baby. For now though, leaving isn't an option because DH and I need my job.
I don't feel comfortable talking to my boss anymore about this. I don't think the hr rep is properly handling this either. I can go to the guy my boss reports to, but I'm feeling discouraged and don't know if I feel comfortable with doing that because I don't think he really knows how to handle conflict. Should I talk to him anyway? Should I go above all of them and go to the hr manager and just not worry that it will make me look bad?
Thanks everyone for listening. I don't know what else to do and I am just physically, mentally and emotionally.

Stepmother geriatric appt
Well, my 2 stepbro's took my stepmom on Friday. They paid an aide to go with them to help with her personal needs. She did fine on the trip - didn't respond to much of anything but was passive. The doctor wanted her to fill out this 10 page questionaire and realized quickly she couldn't. They feel she is overmedicated for her age. They also did blood and urine workup. Both were fine. They did an MRI which we do not know results of yet. The doctor said he saw where there was no diagnosis in any of the medical papers from her 2 doctors here. He wonders if she hasn't had a stroke. Maybe the MRI will show that? They want to slowly reduce her meds if MRI is fine. She will most likely get combative - that's what's happened in the past. She was hallucinating some while there and he saw that. They should get results in the next week. Thanks for your continued concern! I'll keep you posted. RY

Vango Infinity 800 Airbeam Tunnel Tent
The Vango Infinity 800 is loosely based on the Vango Tigris 800 - a simple five 'beam' tunnel tent with a classic 4+4 berth vis-à-vis sleeping arrangement, excellent head height throughout, a generous living area with two side doorways leading of it. Like the Tigris Range, the Infinity Range also features Vango's internal TBS (Tension Band System) which allows you to tension the tent from inside in inclement weather conditions. Vango AirBeam tents are easy to pitch - simply peg out each corner of the tent in place and then inflate the AirBeam inflatable inner tubes with the Vango AirBeam pump (supplied) and the tent effectively pitches itself. Then simply peg out the guys and you are ready to go. Everything is pre-attached, the AirBeam tubes, groundsheet and flysheet and so there's no preparation or assembly required.
The flysheet is a high quality, embossed polyester with 6000mm hydrostatic head waterproof protection. It features a fully sewn-in polyester groundsheet in the living area and a breathable fabric inner tent which also has its own polyester groundsheet and easy find inner clips. The inner tents are arranged as a single 4-berth (with removable divider) at one end of the tent and 2 x 2-berth inners at the other end. The inners are interchangeable and can be removed when not in use. Behind one set of inners there's also the option to use a front opening into the tent. The inners also feature part mesh doors and light reducing inner fabric to reduce early morning light. Other features of the tent include pre-attached orange guys with guyline retainers, inner mesh doors, 'Crystal Clear' windows with inner covers and zip-out option, mesh vents, flysheet first pitching, wheeled roller bag. Flame retardant materials throughout.

According to a Feb. 8 tweet from Bethe Correia, the undefeated Brazilian sensation (7-0) wants a piece of Shayna Baszler after her meeting with Jessamyn "The Gun" Duke on Apr. 26 at UFC 172.
"@QoSBaszler You're next," Correia tweeted to Baszler, after the "TUF" veteran had a little fun with wordplay from her official Twitter handle.
Correia, 30, was apparently annoyed that Baszler tweeted a message that mocked her her "Pitbull" fighter nickname.
"@bethecorreia @jessamynduke @CPTdasAmericas @MMARoasted u know what they say: dont bring a pitbull to a #gunfight," Baszler had tweeted to her legion of Twitter followers.
Duke then chimed in with some playful banter of her own.
"@CPTdasAmericas @MMARoasted @bethecorreia #DontPlayWithGuns," Duke tweeted to Correia.
The Brazilian then fired back by telling Duke she's indestructible.
".#IAMBULLETPROOF "@jessamynduke: @CPTdasAmericas @MMARoasted @bethecorreia #DontPlayWithGuns" Correia tweeted back to Duke.
So far, the Twitter battle between Correia and Duke hasn't crossed the line into personal attacks. For the most part, the feud has consisted of tweets based on puns and double entendres.
It hasn't gotten ugly to the point of the UFC's PR staff needing to step in to tell the ladies to tone it down.
Correia and Duke deserve props for creating a little buzz around their fight with some light-hearted trash-talking. This isn't 2005 anymore, when fighters could let their fists do the talking and not have to worry about anything else.
The most popular fighters in today's era of MMA are the ones who can back up their skills inside the cage with some quality work on the microphone.
Correia and Duke instantly raised their profiles and generated interest in their upcoming fight by having some fun on social media.

Railway transformation
The book on "Railway transformation", edited by Transportation partner Martin Streichfuss offers its readers an overview of recent developments in the railway business and presents a useful synopsis of the issues facing today's rail companies all over the world.
In four parts, the volume deals with the more general aspects of transformation in the railway business, with passenger service, rail cargo and logistics, and with key corporate and functional issues of the transformation process.
"Transforming a railway is a long-lasting process, which comprises structural improvements, strategic realignment of networks and product offerings, internationalization, and efficiency improvements," says editor Martin Streichfuss. "The book provides an outline of the major challenges in the transformation process and describes how leading companies have mastered them."

WA extends voluntary school exclusion policy
WA Health has extended its voluntary quarantine policy for children who have travelled to areas affected by human swine influenza.
From tomorrow, primary and secondary school children who return from areas of high prevalence, including Victoria, will be asked to remain in home quarantine for seven days.
Western Australia is the fourth Australian state to extend the policy based on recommendations from the Commonwealths Chief Medical Officer.
WA State Health Coordinator Dr Andy Robertson said this was a sensible precaution given the high prevalence of the virus overseas and within parts of Australia.
Other areas of high prevalence currently include Mexico, Canada, the United States, Panama and Japan but may change as the disease progresses.
Dr Robertson said the measures were aimed at stopping the spread of human swine flu to those in the community who were most vulnerable, including those with chronic illnesses.
We appreciate that this may inconvenience many families, but it is very important that parents try to comply with the advice to help protect the community and prevent school closures, he said.
Dr Robertson said that children of parents who had returned from these areas did not need to be excluded from school unless the parent was displaying flu-like symptoms.
While school children returning from high prevalence areas are being asked to stay at home for seven days even if they are well, this policy does not extend to adults because the virus appears to be most easily spread among school age children, he said.
The Department of Education and Training has today advised school principals of the changes to the policy and schools will send letters home to parents tomorrow.
For more information about the voluntary school exclusion policy visit the Department of Education and Training website www.det.wa.edu.au
For more information on swine flu visit the Department of Health website www.health.wa.gov.au or call the national swine flu hotline 180 2007.
If you think you have swine flu telephone your doctor or phone healthdirect Australia on 1800 022 222.

The fans of The Real Housewives of Orange County are going to be introduced to some new faces when the season premiere is revealed. As some cast members decided not to return, there has been a new face added and she is a millionaire. According to WetPaint on Tuesday, Lizzie Rovsek arrives on the show with an estimated worth of $25 million dollars.
While some fans might not know the net worth of all the ladies on the series, but this would mean she is worth three times more money than any of the reality stars currently on the series. While money isn't the only element that the fans see on the show, it's good to know this star won't be intimidated by any of the other cast members when she walks in the door.
So who is Lizzie Rovsek? She is a former beauty queen, a fashion designer, a mother of two and a wife. It's probably safe to say this star is self-made and confident as ever! The coolest thing about this reality star? Lizzie is a swimwear designer with some beautiful outfits that would make any woman feel like a million bucks.
While there has been some disappointment that Gretchen Rossi, Alexis Bellino and Lydia McLaughlin won't be returning to the show.

In a shocking deal, Facebook has announced the acquisition of WhatsApp for $19 billion leaving a strong question of why this deal has occurred now. The acquisition has been announced without any prior notice of deals taking place, which was quite shocking for WhatsApp users who are unable to figure out how Facebook acquisition would affect the use of the most popular messaging app. What is more mysterious is why Facebook has spent that enormous sum of money to buy a messaging app, while it is the most used social network worldwide. Does people really start to refrain Facebook in order to have a small share of privacy aside from social networks publicity? WhatsApp has an extraordinary growth since its launch, that it now reached 450 million active users, while the population of its registered users has exceeded Twitter's population.
While Facebook has released its messenger as an independent application to be one of the fierce messaging apps' rival, it did not achieve any notable success for users. Nonetheless, by the end of 2013, WhatsApp has been recorded to be the most used messaging app in USA, South Africa, Indonesia, China and Brazil.
2013 has marked the refrain of US teen from using Facebook in favor of instant messaging apps topped by WhatsApp.
With using the users' information in advertisements and changing the privacy policy every now and then, the users started to find alternatives for Facebook that would guarantee more restricted privacy policy, which was messaging apps. Acquiring WhatsApp is an attempt from Facebook to dominate the market. The future is apparently for instant messaging apps and Facebook wants to be part of this future.
What do you think of WhatsApp acquisition?

Call this "teaching a (wo)man to fish," because this tutorial from the oh, awesome autumn issue will show you how to construct a basic clutch purse just asking to be customized in a thousand and one ways. A change in material and a few small variations turn this basic clutch into three fall trends, each of which we will feature in future posts. This post features the basic clutch construction.
(2) 6" x 12" cuts of fabric for the outside
(2) 6" x 12" cuts of fabric for the lining
(2) 6" x 12" cuts of heavy sew-in stabilizer
(1) magnetic snap closure
Putting it all together:
one: Baste each piece of outer fabric to one cut of heavy stabilizer on each of the shorter ends. The right side of the outer fabric should be facing out. Basting is just a long, temporary stitch to hold things in place.
two: Pin the two stabilized outer pieces together with their right sides facing one another, and sew around three sides, leaving one of the long sides unsewn.
three: Box the corners by forming a triangle at the bottom corner edge such that the bottom and side seams are touching. Mark a line perpendicular to the seams about 1" from the corner. Stitch on this line and trim the excess fabric.
four: Turn right-side out.
five: Repeat steps two and three with the lining fabric, but leave a gap about 9" long unsewn along the bottom edge.
six: Install the magnetic snap closure in the lining by marking and cutting two slits in the center of the bag about 3/4" from the top, unsewn edge. Slide the closure's prongs through the slits from the inside out such that the prongs are coming through the side of the fabric with the seam allowances. You can stabilize it with a small cut of sew-in stabilizer, then finish it off by bending the prongs inward. Repeat on both sides.
seven: Slip the outer bag into the lining such that the right sides of each are facing. Pin together and sew around the top.
eight: Pull the entire bag through the hole you left in the lining and top stitch the hole shut.
nine: Press and enjoy.

I have a dual boot machine, with windows xp and Fedora linux. Windows identifies the wired connection just well, but when I try to use the wired connection on Linux, it doesn't work.
When I inspect /var/log/messages, it says that "DHCP broadcast was not received" or some similar error (unfortunately, I can't see exactly the error right now, because it is on the linux side...)
are there any clues what could be the problem?

Cucumber Extract ? Primarily composed of water, cucumbers also contain ascorbic acid and caffeic acid, which have an astrigent effect on the skin preventing water retention, helping to soothe skin irritations and reduce swelling.
Shea Butter - Derived from an African Shea-Karite tree, this natural fat contains vitamin A, E and is highly compatible with skin to restore suppleness.
Grapefruit Extract - Derived from the seed, pulp and white membranes of grapefruit, it acts as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant. Grapefruit Oil contains Citrus bioflavonoids; (Hesperidin, Rutin, and Naringin) which reduce the skin?s inflammatory response by strengthening the walls of blood vessels and aid Vitamin C to rebuild collagen, increasing the skin's overall natural healing abilities.
Ginseng Root Extract - Derived from the rhizome of the North American plant, it is effective in balancing the skin due to two active components; Ginsenosides, which stimulates the revitalization of epidermal cells and Polysaccharides, which act to provide essential nutrients to cells.
Rose Hips Seed Extract - Derived from the berry-like fruits of the rose bush left behind after the bloom has died, it regenerates the skin, due to the high concentration of Vitamin C, anti-oxidant flavonoids and essential fatty acids; Oleic, Palmitic, Linoleic and Linolenic, needed by the structures of every tissue membrane for the growth of cells.

Science Plan for 2013-2023
Illuminating Earth's Past, Present and Future
The Science Plan for the International Ocean Discovery Program 2013 - 2023
Planning for the International Ocean Discovery Program began in early 2009 with the solicitation of input from the international community on scientific topics that could be addressed by a new ocean drilling program. In September 2009, approximately 600 scientists from 21 nations gathered at the INVEST conference in Bremen, Germany, to discuss and refine a set of scientific questions that require drilling and associated capabilities deep below the ocean floor. Subsequent to this meeting, a science plan writing team was assembled, consisting of scientific leaders from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program member countries or consortia having expertise in geology, geophysics, geobiology, paleoclimatology, climate modeling, and geochemistry. This writing committee circulated an early draft of the science plan for community review and comment in late 2010. In early 2011, an external panel reviewed a revised draft, and additional comments and discussions contributed to substantive revision as the final document was prepared.

JWC TO ANNE GILCHRIST ; 15 May 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580515-JWC-AGIL-01; CL 33: 221
[ca. 15 May 1858]
Dear Mrs. Gilchrist: I would go in to speak, but that I should probably bring you away from something. So I write to ask can you conveniently come in and stand over me while I make the bread myself today?1 My cousins are not coming to-day and are coming to-morrow; so perhaps I had best avail myself of the present opportunity. If to-day; tell me what hour—and tell me where Emma2 gets the yeast. And when Charlotte shall come for the flour? A precious Bother I am to be sure to you! But if I can never reward you on earth you are pretty certain to have two little additional wings for it in heaven!
Yours most gratefully
Jane Carlyle.

New Orleans Saints fullback Heath Evans warned earlier this week that he didn't expect an agreement to be reached between the NFL's owners and players until July or August, at the earliest.
He certainly doesn't feel more optimistic now that the NFL Players Association has decided to decertify rather than extend negotiations.
"I think honestly it sucks for everybody," Evans said Friday evening. "I don't think anybody's gonna be a winner in this, especially the fans. I know that's the politically correct thing to say, but there really are players who care about what the fans think.
"But D (union leader DeMaurice Smith) has prepared us for this. Drew (Brees) has prepared us for this. Everybody who's been listening knew good and well it was heading this way. The owners for asking for too much money for this to get done without a great deal of pressure. And that won't come until we start to face the possibility of losing games."

Roger Goodell's letter to fans
Evans said he thinks the players may gain some leverage when owners start losing some revenues and season ticket sales in the coming months. But, he said, "some owners' egos are so big" that they won't worry about losing money in the short term.
He said hopefully a resolution will come through "a real court instead of the court of public opinion, and we'll get a good deal for the owners and the players."
Evans said he's heard both positive and negative feedback from fans through Twitter and other outlets. Although the owners are painting the players as the ones who walked away from the negotiating table, Evans said about 85 percent of the fans he's heard from seem to be on the players' side. Others agree with the owners. And still others, he said, feel like they shouldn't be squabbling like this on a day when Japan was struck by a devastating natural disaster.
"In the court of public opinion, you can't win," Evans said. "And you've got people saying it's 'millionaires vs. billionaires.' I was a third-round draft pick and hadn't collected a million dollars 'til my third season. And we're not asking for more money. We were mostly asking for better health care (and increased player safety)."

I'm a 62-year-old widow living on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with my two dogs — Sophie, a golden retriever, and Henry Longfellow, a piebald dachshund. My only child, adopted in China in 1994, is in college in Boston, leaving me with a lot of time on my hands.
In many ways I count myself fortunate, despite losing my husband of 30 years to melanoma when we were both just 56. We met at the University of Pennsylvania and moved to New York in 1982, where we enjoyed successful careers; he became a partner in a global architecture firm, while I worked for 20 years in communications, mostly at American Express.
After years of devastating infertility treatments, a late-term miscarriage, and two ectopic pregnancies, we found the child we were destined to have on the other side of the world. We considered this the most important thing we had ever done. She is the most amazing person I will ever know.
We were also in the workplace at a time when employers had meaningful benefits, such as IRAs and stock options. When I started working at American Express in 1987, the company provided, at a reduced rate, financial planning services through its advisor division. Gregory and I sat down with Seth, a handsome, enthusiastic young man, who told us we needed to start planning for retirement right away. What? Retirement? But he was persistent, and soon, we were set up to make regular contributions to employer-matched retirement plans. He also said we needed life insurance. We were shocked. Why? We had good health and no kids.
"Trust me," Seth advised us. And not only did we need life insurance, we needed to set up an ILIT. And we needed a good lawyer.
Soon, Seth met with us and our newly acquired lawyer, Doug, who happened to live in our building and was a tax and estate lawyer. And voila, we had an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) and a trustee — Mac, Gregory's best friend.
Oh, how we hated that damn ILIT and those "crummy letters" Mac had to file each year for the next 20 years, until Gregory's death on April 11, 2007.
But how I loved the ILIT when I got a check within weeks for $1.5 million. Seth had gone off to become a massage therapist in the early 1990s, and we found an independent financial advisor in Boston who urged us to increase Gregory's life insurance when I quit working at American Express in 2002, just five years before Gregory's untimely death.
Thanks to this wonderful advisor, our daughter's college education was fully funded (over $200,000) when Gregory died, and I believe this gave him great peace. And long before the crash of 2007, we had a diversified portfolio, 50/50 split between fixed income and equities. (After losing money in the tech bubble like so many of our friends, we never bought stocks again, just funds. "Ask Jeeves what he did with our money," was a long-running joke Gregory and I had.) Our home in Connecticut that Gregory had designed was fully paid for since our advisor was against taking on too much debt. We lived within our means, comfortably. I am somewhat in shock that we had such foresight (even though I did manage to get an MBA at Wharton after five years of teaching English). I continue to work with this advisor, who recently convinced me to purchase long-term health care insurance, just in case. And oh, do I ever know about those "just in cases."
So here I am, finding my way alone, a widow and an empty nester, with outdated job skills but enough investments to live out my life and leave a substantial amount to my only child.
I've found meaningful volunteer work helping Afghan women, through two non-profits, the Afghan Women's Writing Project (AWWP) and the School of Leadership Afghanistan (SOLA). I have a close circle of friends, and each year, we rent an apartment in a city together — Berlin, Rome, Istanbul. I am blessed.
At the same time, I've reached the point in my life where I have nothing to lose. This idiom can be taken in two ways: your situation is so bad that nothing you do can make it worse; or, you have the freedom to choose what to do because you have financial security, as well as the freedom you've earned after years of being judged and evaluated in the workplace as you climbed the ladder. Now, it didn't really matter if I got the job or didn't, if the client thought I had talent or no talent. I was free, at last, of all that anguish. The only judge I face now is myself.
I realized how much this freedom means a few weeks ago, when I was asked to write copy for the Super Bowl 2014 Host Committee, where many former American Express executives now work.
"Football? Football?" my friend Laura asked, almost speechless, when I told her. "You?"
It is true. I know nothing about football and have never attended an NFL game. I did not even know that the NFL Draft would begin in late April.
But hey, I told myself. I've got nothing to lose!
And so I spent a day on the NFL site, learning the lingo. Such fun I had! Who knew there was an entire language tied to football?
My assignment was to write copy to urge people to volunteer for this mega event set for February 2014. I love my city and believe this effort will bring in the half a billion dollars the Host Committee predicts. And to be part of something this big has given me a feeling of accomplishment and yes, pride. I had nothing to lose, so I took on the challenge, and in the process, learned that I still have a few marketable skills — even at 62!

Great for my needs Review by HK
Product Rating:
I purchased this to drill holes in the bottom of large vintage glass jugs to make pendant lights. I realize that this probably isn't what most people are purchasing this item for on this site, but for my purposes, this hole saw worked great, and the bottom line is that it cuts through glass well. the hole saw made it through 3 jug bottoms but did start to slow down slightly near the end. Given the previous review, i anticipated this, though. I did crack one jug, but I think this was because I had the drill on too high of a speed. overall, highly recommended, as this is the cheapest that I've been able to find a hole saw with this diameter and it got the job done well. (Posted on 3/25/2015)
Good for the first hole Review by Lang
Pros - easy to use, does as advertised.
Cons - Used this to drill two holes in 3/8" glass. The first hole took about 10 minutes, the second took over an hour. This bit is good for 1 hole, terrible for 2, and I would not even attempt a 3rd. (Posted on 3/11/2011)

George Zimmerman's Wife Might Leave Him
He didn't show up to court for her case.
Shellie Zimmerman, who pleaded guilty yesterday to a misdemeanor perjury charge stemming from her husband's trial, may have gotten back at George for not showing at her court date by airing out their marriage on national television. After standing by his side during the entirety of the Trayvon Martin trial, Shellie said on Good Morning America this morning that she felt "very much alone" when he failed to accompany her in court on Wednesday. "I always want my husband's support," she said, but whether they'll stay married is something she's "going to have to think about."
The couple was having problems even before the shooting last year, and Shellie wasn't home the night George killed the Florida teenager. "I was staying at my father's house," she said. "We had gotten into an argument the night before and I left." Asked how "volatile" it got, Shellie said, "Not going to answer that," but later added, "George has never laid a hand on me nor has he ever used any sort of force."
Going through the most high-profile murder trial in the country didn't exactly help their rocky union. "We have been pretty much gypsies for the past year and a half," said Shellie. "We lived in a twenty-foot trailer in the woods, scared every night that someone was going to find us and that we'd be out in the woods alone and that it would be horrific."
Since his acquittal, George "is doing and thinking things that none of us can understand right now," said Shellie, like visiting the gun manufacturer that made the fatal weapon he used that night. "Do you think that was right, sensitive?" asked reporter Christi O'Connor. "No," said Shellie.
"I'm so deeply sorry for their loss," she said of Martin's family. "I can't even begin to understand the grief that a parent experiences when they lose a child."

Field methods to obtain data for analysis and modeling. Application of analytical and numerical solutions to describe heat and water fluxes in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, unsaturated zone hydrology, and solute transport.
Teaching Highlights:
April 2014: The College Faculty approved ERE 545 Environmental Soil Physics. The course is offered as an elective for engineering and science students interested in understanding the water and heat fluxes in the unsaturated soil. Interactions amongst the soil, plants and atmosphere are explored through lecture, field methods and laboratory methods, and computer simulations.
May 2013: 38 students in ERE 489 completed the capstone engineering course with tremendous support from local professional engineering community, NRCS, and municipalities. Eight design teams prepared plans and designs for: earth dam safety and environmental impact assessment (NRCS, NY), green infrastructure (Onondaga County, Syracuse), constructed treatment wetlands (Chiapas, Mexico), and Scajaquada Creek restoration (Buffalo, NY). The Scajaquada Creek Restoration design project, a two-year collaborative effort with a landscape architecture design studio and the Buffalo-Niagara Riverkeeper, is the subject of a report submitted with the ERE application to the NCEES Engineering Award.
December 2012: Students in Soil, Plant, Atmosphere and Water Interactions completed were exposed to a variety of field methods and completed the semester with an introduction to soil physics using HYDRUS 1-D. The Solid Waste Management class completed field trips to the local MRF, composting facility and waste-to-energy facility during the semester. They also prepared informational pamphlets about solid waste as part of writing across the curriculum.
April 2012: Congratulations to the ERE/FEG Seniors that completed the Capstone Engineering Design course (ERE 489). Student projects included: Design of Land Cover and Wetland System on a Former Manufactured Gas Plant Site, Utica, NY; Master Plan and Analysis for the Revitalization of the Scajaquada Creek Corridor, Erie County, NY; Design and Sustainability Analysis of a Combined Sewer Overflow Disinfection System, Oswego, NY; Design and Analysis of the Urban Forest to Improve Ecosystem Services, Syracuse, NY; and Design and Feasibility Assessment of Wastewater Sludge and Landfill Gas Management System, Auburn, NY.

The display lets you set up shots easily, playback video, and adjust menu settings without detaching the camera from its mount. To start filming, you simply move the oversized slide switch forward. Record at 1080p for up to three hours with the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and video enhancement features like Digital Image stabilization and lens Distortion Correction ensure footage looks great, even before you start editing.
