- This is a good upgradeIf you have a gun that doesn't have as high an FPS as you want? The M110 spring is the upgrade for you. Sure, it doesn't give as much power as the M120's, but it doesn't put your gearbox at risk.
Oh, wait, you didn't know that? The action of the Spring being streched and released time and time again can put massive strains on your gearbox, to the extent of actually shattering the metal. Unless you have a reinforced gearbox and other upgraded internals, you want to stay away from the M120.
Buy this M110. It is not held under the same tension as the M120, and does not pose a threat to your AEG. Chances are, if you need to upgrade your gun to get it to fire 340 fps, your gun probably isn't capable of hosting and M120. This spring however will give you your power boost and keep your gun safe.
There is also reason for people with higher power guns to get this. By downgrading your spring from whatever it was to this, even if it means losing 30-40 fps, can be a good choice. Your ROF will increase and your gearbox will last longer. Your motor won't burn out quite as fast, your gears won't strip, your piston won't shatter quite so soon; it's a pretty good chance that you could increase your gun's lifetime by a manner of years.
So you can see, buying and installing this spring is a good choice for anyone. The M120 might appeal to the power junkies, but rest assured, when their guns stop working months after they upgrade them, you can laugh in their faces as you shoot them with your fully functional AEG. Spending $16 and 30fps for this spring versus $400 every few months for a new AEG; I think we can all see what the better deal is.
- Great UpgradeI dropped this spring into my gun, the fps is good and doesn't really affect the ROF. I am running a systema turbo motor which has no problem pulling this spring. It comes anodized for durability and longevity, will work well with high speed motors and gear boxes just as long as you have a decent battery and bushings. I recommend a reinforced spring guide w/bearing and maybe a new piston head.
- cream dat springgreat. i found out a way to install to a non-upgradable PISTOL, by doing some serious body work. anyway i found 370 fps in a pistol hurts little wusses. anyway it's the best springs out there. mad bull is great, but you have to realize, that the durability is what counts. it's the fps that it says. these are super durable. just i don't really favor upgrading guns, and this is kinda slippery to work with.
- Great, inexpensive upgradeI put this spring in one of my m4's and got a really nice increase in power without stressing the rest of my aeg. My m4 is firing just as fast as it used to and now it packs a lot more of a punch, and my stock motor has no problem pulling this spring in full auto.
- PerfectPerfect Up-grade for your AEG. Might need a motor upgrade to a high torque.
- Great for good gunsIf you have a high fps gun and you need to drop the fps to be able to use it in an airsoft cqb arena, then you need this or a weaker gun, but that is a different thing entirely. The only downfall is you could forget to put the more powerful spring back in when you're done.

by Mahboob A. Khawaja, Ph.D.
Immanuel Kant, the 18th century German philosopher had envisioned "Perpetual Peace", the doctrine that gave war riddled Europeans much needed hope and optimism for peace making and conflict management. C.E.M. Joad (Guide to Modern Wickedness), enlists divergent facets of evil thinking and minds that governed the Europeans to kill each other during and preceding the two World Wars. After prolonged history of barbarity, Europeans seem to be thinking rationally and soul searching for fighting against themselves and are at relative peace within the corridors of the EU. Whereas, some of the American political strategists are making headways for "Perpetual War and Perpetual Peace" to manifest the ambitious imperialism in another major global conflict to wipe out the whole of the humanity. The Western nations under NATO waging the bogus "War on Terrorism" use the mass media as a weapon to misinform and deceive the public of a possible threat to their life and security. The corporate run news media shield the leadership animosity to perpetuate wars for economic and political goals. NATO re-invented a new role to be an active belligerent institution in Afghanistan after its failed history to engage the former USSR on any real front of the major ideological conflicts. Bush and now President Obama claim they were invited to Afghanistan. Lies know no bound in contemporary political wickedness. There exists a wide gulf between the aspirations of the masses in the Western nations and thinking of the type of leaders they have in the ruling elite. People want peace and do not support the war mongering of the few against other human beings in the Muslim world.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Once again, humanity appears to have been pushed back to the shameful annals of the European Dark Ages. In search of new animosity, few utopian scholars wanted to distract the humanity after the end of the Cold War to keep the liberal democracy working and ensure electoral voters active participation. In early 90's, Samuel Huntington reinvented and re-ignited the old cliché - "a clash of civilizations" between the West and Islam - a new age of confrontation between the predominantly technologically advanced culture of the West and the subdued interdependent societal religious culture of the Muslim world. The powerful mass media and the official policy makers throughout the West, fuel the insane imagery that the Arabs and Muslims are "fundamentalists" and "terrorists." After the collapse of the ideological wars between the Communism and the Capitalism, the world political arena was free and conveniently available for a new ideology of "a clash of civilizations" to seal the closing chapters of the Cold War. Huntington was courageous and frank to admit "we need ennobling animosity" to survive and shield the decaying human culture of the Western civilization. Most Western leaders politically aligned with the ruling elite, would refute that "a clash of civilizations" is the underpinning framework of the official policy and the "War on Terrorism", denying the premise of unilateral wars against Iraq, Afghanistan and onward to Pakistan. The mass media would elude 'smart bomb' theory hitting the terrorist targets but in reality, more than 3 million Iraqi civilians have reportedly been killed by the US led forces in Iraq since the invasion in March 2003. Deceptive claim as it is that there was a war between the US and Iraq. It was a media entertainment soap opera and above all, a unilateral act of aggression against a fellow UN member state, forbidden under the UN Charter. According to Kofi Annan, the UN General Secretary, it is an "illegal war" to occupy Iraq. French and German leaders resented and resisted politically and morally, but could not dare to challenge the US and Britain through any means of military force to stop the futuristic bloodbath in a country that had no quarrel nor posed any threat to the US or Britain. When facts are ridiculed, ignorant advisors construct dogmas to boast the defeated psyche of the leaders. That is where the former President Bush and British PM Tony Blair found their respective standing. History points out countless wicked people and nations that had transgressed the limits of the Laws of the God, and never acknowledged if there was anything wrong with their THINKING and BEHAVIOR until they experienced the consequential end and their destruction. The Al-Qura'an reveals that Pharaoh claimed, "handful of people have annoyed us, whereas, we are the most powerful people on guard to defend our values." Moses and the followers crossed safely the Red Sea but God punished Pharaoh and his armies as they vanished in the Red Sea. Does it explain well as a role model, how the egoistic tyrants and transgressors meet their end in this world?
Analyzing the contemporary affairs, again, the world is being dragged into the Dark Ages - might is right. President Bush after the 9/11 attacks made it abundantly clear, "either you are with us or you are against us." The draconian formula had no in-between, no choice to take a rational stance, as normally liberal democratic values would facilitate it. The image of a single most World Power is fixed and unquestionable, be it fair or foul. The net outcome shows the manufactured imagery of Muslims as the alleged terrorists and the sole inheritor of the 21st century political ideology. With massive corporate sponsorships and the Western mass media collaborative alliances, Islamic civilization is the only targeted client of this emerging business. What about the Arabs and Muslims, have they done anything to challenge the absurdity of the so called "war on terrorism" and to safeguard their political interests and human survivability? Even the most educated ones are indifferent and fearful of the prevalent authoritarian rule in their lands and the dictates of the Western masters to survive. With full awareness of the problem, they live in division, discard and helplessness. There are no Muslim institutions to provide honest analyses or reflect on the possible remedies. Throughout the Arab-Muslim world, there is not a single established university teaching global peace, security and conflict management - the institutions dealing with the present and envisioning the future that the Western nations are built upon for change and development. Leaderless Muslim masses appear desperate to look for a visionary and intelligent leader to offer some consolence and intellectual security. Not so, in the Arabs or Muslim countries, leaders live in palaces, not with people. All the leaders are pre-screened by the CIA and the World Bank before taking a shape and form to move into a palace. Accordingly, Saddam Hussein, Shah of Iran, General Musharaf, Zardari and Karzai fit into that facilitated image and governance. The author of Muslim under Siege, clarifies that leaders in Muslim countries are pre-screened and chosen by the West. Everywhere neo-colonial rulers operate the infrastructures and maintain the natural resources across the Muslim world but there are no leaders to organize and unite the Muslim as Ummah-one people, one nation intellectually and politically powerful enough to defend it against the odds.
The neo-colonial rulers have helped the Colonial Masters to make the Muslim masses helpless victim of their warmongering and inhuman atrocities being carried out at Gutanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib Prison, and Massacre at Fullajah, Haditah, Bughdad, Kandhar, South-North Waziristan and elsewhere. The ruling elite would not allow their national press to discuss such sensitive topics. There is no Sultan Salahuddin Ayoubi that the European would fear for centuries to come, there are no Sultan Babyar and Sheikh Izzuddin to give blowing defeats to Halaqu Khan - the Mongol warlord, and no Allama Iqbal or Ali Shariati to awake the sleeping folks and guide the believers to success. Strangely enough, when Muslims are being butchered, some of the intelligent North American self-appointed Muslim organizational leaders urge fellow Muslims to become "moderate Muslims" as if being a true Muslim was a crime or sin in liberal democracy. Their naive perception or hasty judgment cannot be ridiculed; they have to be dame sure to act like economically feasible species, all the time caring for their own bread and butter, not for the interest of people and Islam. The phenomenon supposedly outgrows a new creed of American Muslim, easily available at the marketplace. Many strive to pose and evolve happy looking faces and memorable IMAGES, busy in breaking the Ramadhan Fast at the White House Lawn or 10 Downing Street, London, sharing funny jokes about the success of the American-led war in Iraq and Afghanistan, hanged Saddam Hussein or the dictates of the New World Order. What they are not allowed to talk in public is about the US-British led forces killings and massacres of the civilians in those countries because they are "moderate Muslims" and follow strict time constraints during the Ramadhan breakfast and prayers, and sensitivities of the US New Empire political agenda.
Built on lies and political deception, the on-going wars were suppose to create a new culture of FEAR amongst the American and European common masses, enabling the ruling elite to sustain their grip over the powerhouses for long time to come as did the Nazis, a war of thousand years to dominate the world. Instead, it has backed fire; the leaders are fearful day and night from the masses and unable to cope with the challenging public concerns on the war causalities or to answer rational questions about the outcome of these self-generated conflicts. Ironically, the American and British leaders are fighting wars they cannot win, nor afford to lose in the public eyes. Majority of the well informed masses do not seem to support the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Ugly as the outcome of the wars become, the furious will be the media propaganda embodying new strategies to cover up the entrenched leaders. Arundhati Roy said it well: President Bush and Osama Bin Laden are not the acceptable choices to the real world. Both are self-centered and irrelevant. Increasing disclosures of American and British military massacres of the Iraqi civilians, the home-based authorities will forge illegal arrests of young Muslims in North America and Western Europe, alleging connection with non-existing or dead Al-Qaeda group. More and more planned allegations will make news media headlines about the alleged "Terrorist Plan", purchase of fertilizer commodity and "bomb-making" and what not. The intelligent ones in Washington and London draw the script to enhance economic and political market data. The strategic games are well known, create more problems to dilute and overshadow the massacres in Iraq and Afghanistan and distract people's attention from the known acts of crime against the humanity. War is business and political deception is known and tolerable trait of the new global image-making trade. If there were educated and intelligent leaders in the Muslim world, one could reason the unreason. But the oil exporting Arab leaders operate from a position of political weakness, not strength to play any useful role in international politics. They have built palaces over moving sand, not institutions to educate and protect the interest of the Muslim Ummah. Imagine the dichotomy of the living history, the Christian Crusaders came, ransacked and killed 170, 000 Muslims just in one day to occupy Jerusalem. Despite assurances of peace and religious sanctity, the Crusaders moved horses in blood-flown streets to capture Jerusalem. When Sultan Salahuddin Ayoubi reconquered Jerusalem, the visionary leader allowed and escorted all the Christian Crusaders to safety with human dignity, honor and material wealth. History shall describe a corporate world run by greed and animalistic savagery, preoccupied to influence and control the destinies of the living human beings under the guise of economic feasibility and market interests.
To enforce power of reason and ask for accountability of the few Western Warlords, the humanity has reason to be concerned with, well organized and united to oppose the unilateral barbarity of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. This underlines an URGENT NEED for global morality and political accountability in world affairs. The solution cannot come from those who are parts of the problem but only from a civilized people under morally and politically responsible leadership who will know what peace means, and have no colonial history and are readily acceptable as genuinely civilized representatives of the humanity. Immanuel Kant ("Perpetual Peace"), must have sensed the threat to international peace and the nature of destructive wars - "standing armies shall in time be totally abolished."
Zbigniew Brzezinski (The Grand Chessboard, 1997), former Security Advisor to President Carter, makes an historical reference: "American primacy and its geostrategic imperatives describe American priorities as the economic subjugation of the Soviet Union and the control of Central Asia and the Middle East." With the continued wars of aggressions in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, the international institutions overwhelmingly controlled and managed by the Western Powers have become irrelevant to the 21st century needs of the global humanity. The UN and its Security Council are dormant bodies striving for their own functional survival and have abandoned their Chartered–based obligations to protect the humanity from the scourge of war and aggression. To undermine the UN functions, NATO has taken over the role of leading European-American operated institutions to protect the Western strategic and political interest outside its sphere of influence or legal mandate. Contravening its own charter and global undertakings, there is no effective UN organization except as a debating club, no International Red Cross as such, no UN Security Council, no competent Arab League, no other accountable global body to question or investigate why the occupying American and British armed forces are engaged in New Holocaust of the civilian population in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan? The Western Crusade is solely aimed at killings of the Muslims and occupying their natural resources. Likewise, there are no Arab leaders or Muslim armies to offer sense of security to the besieged Arab population victims of the daily massacres in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary General lacked courage to cross over the limits and question the US led war on Iraq and to "annoy" President Bush or PM Blair, it could have undermined his own candidacy as continued Secretary General of the UN failed body. He simply called the US-British aggression as an "illegal war".
Across the Western world, masses vigorously oppose the on-going deadly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. NATO, inadvertently, has assumed the role of fighting in Afghanistan. In its Nov 18, gathering at Lisbon, the leaders were supposed to workout plan for the end of the war in Afghanistan and clear timetable for troops withdrawals. Instead, the gathering was focused on mending its ties with Russia and extending the armed conflict indefinitely in Afghanistan. People are killed, leaders are not. None of these leaders have ever fought a war on the real front. Simply put, there are politicians lacking reason and honesty of purpose, and are engaged in time killing discussions. In liberal democracies, leaders were supposed to be accountable to the will of the masses. Not so in the US or Britain, the places with strongest public opposition against the Wars on Terrorism. The leaders and the masses appear to be living in different time zones, not being able to cross-over the widening gaps to interact with one another as democratic rights and obligations would dictate within the working of the political system. Listening was meant to be political learning and reasoning, not any more even President Obama has continued according to Bob Woodward's "Obama War." The continued wars serve the interest of the corporate establishments and the Western economies. The image of deliberately dismantled system of global governance is meant to appease the economically influential and politically smart Western elite. Hitler and Mussolini were Europeans, not Arabs or Muslims, and they did not rule alone on their own, as there were millions to cheer them up and support their leadership egos with galvanized news media alignment of the time, and their personal ideologies as law and order of the day. At the initial stages of the 21st century, the replica is exactly the same from the pages of history, only the names and titles have been changed and adjusted – a small minority of 'sick puppies' are determined to occupy the oil and gas resources and to wipe out the Arabs and Islamic civilization under the guise of terrorism. Changing the names of Hitler and Mussolini, now historian and prosecutors responsible for conducting the war crimes will mention Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Blair and many more. Britain knows what it lost, cannot regain in colonial history, but the American empire has yet to learn the hard lessons. It is more fearful that soon it could be replaced by China in combination of another economically viable power or group of nations from the emerging rival economies of Asia. Amazingly, under the stress of extreme fear and fatigue, America has lost sense of moral direction, values and the true spirit of its own history. Throughout the Two World Wars, the European madness knew its geography and national boundaries - Europeans enjoyed killing fellow Europeans. But under the American Empire, its dimensions are widely insane and global, exclusively aimed at to kill Arabs-Muslims and destroy the Islamic civilization. Professor John Esposito has summed up the History Lessons in a meaningful context:
"An important lesson of history is that rulers and nations do rise and fall. Unforeseen circumstances can bring up unanticipated change. Few expected the breakup of the Soviet Union and the liberation of Eastern Europe to occur when they did ……now is the time for those in all walks of life (political, economic, military, media and academic) who wish to see a new order not to be silenced but to speak out, organize, vote and be willing when necessary to make sacrifices in promoting a new global order."
Much publicized NATO leaders at the Lisbon meeting of Nov 18-20, were supposed to be finalizing an end to the Western engagement in war torn Afghanistan. Hamad Karzai was reported to be in direct contact with the native Talaban to discuss peace and provide a time table for the withdrawal of the US and Western troops from Afghanistan. Dashing out all the people's hope, they appeared keener to enlarge a dialogue with Russia than talk of rational choices to leave Afghanistan with honor or without an apparent defeat by the Talaban forces. The NATO gathering missed another opportunity for its face saving strategy. There is something terribly wrong with the strategic thinking and decision making process of the Western leaders. With all the technologically advanced firepower, they could not fight against handful of Talaban defending their country. None of the Western leaders have factual knowledge or experience for being on any war fronts. They manage to stage a puppet show to deceive and mislead their own people and the mankind for fighting a worthy cause when there was none. War is not synonymous for peace. Righteousness and wickedness cannot be combined in one mind and behavior. Foremost, it was an American led aggression against the people of Afghanistan as was the case in Iraq, and then the longest war continued to create new markets for the sale of obsolete US weapons to the oil exporting Arab nations. These wars will distract people to find solutions for the real problems of occupation and subjugation in Palestine. It is their mindset that requires diagnostic treatment as the ordinary folks across the US and Europe have no interest in killing other people and would prefer to co-exist in peace and harmony with the Muslim people. Robert Briffault (The Making of Humanity), an earlier 20th century intellectual at Cambridge University offered a rational observation on the mindset of political leaders:
"The men who have most injured and oppressed humanity, who have most deeply sinned against it, were according to their standards and their conscience, good men; what was bad in them, what wrought moral evil and cruelty, treason to truth and progress, was not at all their intentions, in their purpose, in their personal character, but in their opinions."

Hegemony is as old as mankind!
In the olden days it was under the banner of god and king.
In the modern days it is under the banner of 'war against terror'.
Since the Renaissance killed god, and democracy began controlling the king's choices, so hegemony required new tactics. Thus arose the non-stop hegelian mind-fcks of the democratic plebes to enable and sustain the king's "imperial mobilization".
I am not sure what is so confusing here?
All those respectable words in your essay on "peace and harmony" don't even come close to explaining any of its real import like Brzezinski's opening sentence of his book does.
Peace and harmony have known to exist under some kings of antiquity during their suzeranity - but only when their hegemony wasn't challenged. Wherein, the 'untermenschen' accepted their fate as barbarians and beasts of burden, and the high-life in Rome lived oblivious to the fate of these barbarians at the outer periphery of their empire's frontiers. There was lot of peace and harmony for the denizens of Rome. For any Rome.
Peace and harmony are the words of Orwellian Newspeak.
The RealitySpeak is depicted solely by the fate of the 'untermensch'.
The modern zietgiest has their elimination, and/or complete subjugation, as endgame for achieving peace and harmony.
The perfect peace and harmony will reign supreme in the global prison-state that is under construction.

SANTA CLARA -- The first Super Bowl featuring brothers as head coaches will offer another first: a joint news conference with them on Feb. 1.
The 49ers' Jim Harbaugh will speak with older brother John, the Baltimore Ravens coach, at 8:30 a.m. in what will be their team's final media session before Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.
The 49ers are scheduled to arrive this Sunday at 7:30 p.m., and a news conference will be held an hour later at the team's downtown hotel with Harbaugh, quarterback Colin Kaepernick and four to six players.
Some 21 hours later, the Ravens are scheduled to fly into New Orleans International Airport, and they also will have a media session with their Harbaugh, their quarterback and a handful of players at their downtown hotel next to the Mississippi River.
The NFL released both teams' media schedule Tuesday, and perhaps the one fans might be looking forward to most is the Feb. 4 session, when the winning coach and Super Bowl MVP will be available at 8:30 a.m.
Jim Harbaugh talked Monday about it being a "blessing and a curse" to face his brother, along with the "Har-Bowl" hype it's spurred.
"Every moment that you're talking about myself or John, that's less time that the players are going to be talked about," said Jim Harbaugh, who'll speak six straight days with the media, including Monday afternoon with four to six players.
All players will be made available Tuesday through Thursday. Super Bowl's traditional Media Day will take place Tuesday at the Superdome, starting with the 49ers from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and followed by the Ravens at 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.
The 49ers' pulled the early shift in meeting with the media on Wednesday and Thursday -- Jan. 30 and Jan. 31 -- from 8 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. at the team hotel. The Ravens' access on those days isn't until 10:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
The 49ers will kick off their first Super Bowl practice at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday. Idle Tuesday, the 49ers will allow the media to watch players warm up for the first 30 minutes, unless team drills begin earlier. That is the minimum access mandated under league policy and it follows the 49ers' two-season protocol under Harbaugh.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is the only one scheduled for a formal media session, at 3:30 p.m. A former Ravens assistant, Fangio will have lots to talk about, and most pertinent is the 49ers' shaky pass defense in their four playoff games under him. Fangio also will be asked for insight into what was great pass defense in the clutch Sunday to eliminate the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 in the NFC Championship game.
After Fangio's news conference, the 49ers will open their locker room to the media for 45 minutes.

Fans usually alway over values some of their players, but specially their prospects.
The Mets overvalue all their players. Does anybody still remember Lastings Milledge? They acted like he was going to be the next Strawberry and instead he turned into the next Tito Landrum.

I'm not shopping around Flores, and I'm certainly not exploiting his weakness (no defined position) unless someone make me a great offer for him.
"Gods always behave like the people who make them."
Acer got it. Flores can play third base and maybe first base, without having his defense take away from his offense. David Wright is now a Met for life. And Ike looked great in the second half. Now is the time to sell high on Flores, and I love Flores.
And he hasn't even played all that many games at third base.
If we trade Flores now, we'll be selling low.
"Gods always behave like the people who make them."
A better strategy would be to see if he can establish himself as an outfielder. Then teams would know they'd have to work hard to pry him from the Mets.
The Catch-22 of course is if that should happen, you wouldn't want to trade him.
That you do sort of illustrates my point.
"Gods always behave like the people who make them."
Although yes, Olt is a much better prospect.

Rear View Camera and Surround View.
A clear view in unclear situations with innovations from BMW ConnectedDrive: up to five cameras give the BMW 3 Series a new view of any situation.
The Rear View camera also provides welcome support when parking. Interactive lane lines in the image inform the driver whether or not the parking space is large enough. The zoom function allows you to adjust the image so that you can attach a trailer to the tow bar without the need for further assistance.
The Surround View special equipment includes additional cameras. Two side view cameras in the front bumper are aligned to the left and right. Both images are shown simultaneously on the Control Display so that no road user goes unnoticed even at exits with poor visibility.
Top View cameras in the exterior mirrors produce data which, together with those from the Rear View Camera, are converted into one image by the electronics system that shows the BMW 3 Series Touring and its surroundings from a bird's-eye view of 270 degrees. Whether you are entering or leaving a parking space, carrying out every manoeuvre is simple and safe.

PARKERSBURG - Parkersburg native Mike Fleak will be taking on an expanded role for Huntington Bank in the Parkersburg area after being named Friday as the community president for the bank's local operations.
Fleak will continue his role as general manager of the bank's local retail operation and will direct the community efforts and provide leadership for Huntington Bank's Parkersburg team. He will be located at the Huntington Bank branch office in Parkersburg at Fifth and Market streets.
"Mike is a native of Parkersburg, with a deep understanding of and close ties to the region," said Andrew Paterno, president for Huntington Bank in West Virginia. "We are delighted to have an accomplished executive like Mike, with an exceptional track record of success, serving Parkersburg as our community president. His extensive knowledge of Parkersburg enables our bank to enhance our community commitment to the area, as well as bolster our ability to provide exceptional services and products to individuals, families and businesses," he said.
Fleak has more than 22 years of banking and financial services experience with 16 years in the Parkersburg area. He has a bachelor's degree from Fairmont State University and is a graduate of the CNB Graduate School of Banking and several American Institute of Banking courses.
Fleak serves on the board of governors and chairs the marketing committee of the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation. He is a board member of the Parkersburg Area Roundtable and is the incoming president and board member for the Lions Club of Parkersburg.
Fleak said he is looking forward to continuing to work with his staff and the community to provide services through Huntington Bank, especially during the economic downturns of the last several years that have caused some larger banks to cut staffing.
"Huntington Bank continues to look at ways to retain its staff," Fleak said. "As a matter of fact, in Parkersburg, in my office, we're at the highest employment level ever. A lot of that has to do with the fact we've got double-digit new household growth. We grew 12 percent last year when a lot of banks were losing customers or a lot of banks were staying flat," he said.
"We're continually looking at opportunities to expand our ATMs and just make it easier for our customers to do banking," Fleak said.
Huntington Bank also wants to expand the ways it can serve its customers, from providing deposit banking services to offering insurance services, and from retirement services to lending functions, he said.
Fleak said another of his goals is to support small businesses in the Parkersburg area.
"If you've got small businesses, they are hiring. If you're hiring, you've got people employed and there's money flowing through the community. That's really what Huntington Bank is focused on, doing the right thing and helping small business grow," Fleak said.
Overall, Huntington Bancshares Inc. is a $56 billion regional bank holding company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. The Huntington National Bank, founded in 1866, provides full-service commercial, small business, and consumer banking services; mortgage banking services; treasury management and foreign exchange services; equipment leasing; wealth and investment management services; trust services; brokerage services; customized insurance brokerage and service programs; and other financial products and services.
The principal markets for these services are Huntington's six-state banking franchise: Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky.

Can I transfer (backup/restore) individual mining models from one server to another?
Simply put, data mining is the process of exploring large quantities of data in order to discover meaningful information about the data, in the form of patterns and rules. In this process, various forms of analysis can be used to discern such patterns and rules in historical data for a given business scenario, and the information can then be stored as an abstract mathematical model of the historical data, referred to as a data mining model. After a data mining model is created, new data can be examined through the model to see if it fits a desired pattern or rule. From this information, actions can be taken to improve results in the given business scenario.
SQL Server Data Mining is a collection of machine learning algorithms that explore your data for patterns. Once discovered, these patterns can be browsed for greater insight into your data, or they can be applied to new data to create "predictions" - which allow you to determine unknown facts about data based on data the algorithms have seen before.
SQL Server Data Mining comes with nine algorithms, plus all of the tools required to create, explore and deploy mining models in your enterprise or business applications.
In addition to the resources under http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/dm and http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql, more information on SQL Server Data Mining, including whitepapers, tips and tricks can be found at http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com. Additionally the book "Data Mining with SQL Server 2005" by Tang and MacLennan provides overviews and details of the language, algorithms and usage scenarios for Data Mining.
Please post your product questions and comments to the SQL Server Data Mining MSDN forum: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=81&SiteID=1.
SQL Server 2005 comes with many components. This describes what components are necessary to perform data mining once you have the SQL Server 2005.
Analysis Services
Analysis Services is the only required component to install on the server. If you want to do data mining against existing SQL Server 2000 databases or other data sources (DB2, Oracle, Access, etc), this is the component you need to install.
Reporting Services
Install Reporting Services if you want to be able to create reports that work against your data mining models.
SQL Server Database Services
You only need to install the SQL Server relational engine if you want to use it as a data source, or if you want to use the Data Mining samples and tutorials.
SQL Server Integration Services
Installing SSIS causes the SSIS service to be installed on your server, allowing the running of scheduled packages. Install this if you want to use the integrated data mining tasks and transforms on your server.
Workstation Components, etc.
Install the Workstation Components, etc, on any client machine that will be creating mining models, authoring reports and SSIS packages, or managing Analysis Services. The Workstation Components work equally well when installed on the same machine as the server.
You will need to click the Advanced button to install the samples and sample databases. All the samples are located under Client Components/Documentation and Samples. The pertinent samples and databases to install are:
Note that installing Samples installs the Samples installation packages. Links to run these are found under Start/Microsoft SQL Server 2005/Install Samples.
Exhaustive information can be found in Books Online and other product documentation. Below are the highlights:
SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services includes a rich set of nine algorithms developed by the SQL Server Data Mining product team in collaboration with Microsoft Research:
SQL Server 2005 Data Mining offers unparalleled deployment options for making data mining work for you. Data Mining results can be deployed directly in reports created by SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services allowing deployment to the web, e-mail, SharePoint, and many other destinations.
Integration tasks and transformations in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services allows for a new type of deployment for the predictive analytics in SQL Server 2005 Data Mining. Through these tasks and transforms, you can deploy your models directly into your ETL pipeline, using the power of data mining to intelligently filter, enhance, or detect anomalies in your data streams.
Creating data mining models from your UDMs (cubes) allows you to create new data mining dimensions allowing you to slice your data against the patterns learned from the machine learning algorithms. These patterns are available through any standard cube browser such as Excel, ProClarity, Panorama, and many others.
Finally, SQL Server Data Mining provides a rich API allowing you to access your trained models from any client or middle-tier application - giving you the ability to create intelligent applications using data mining your way.
Yes, SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services allows native access to all objects as a web service through XML for Analysis (XMLA). Therefore you can make any data mining model a web service.
SQL Server 2005 Data Mining supports many API's that you can use to embed data mining into your applications.
From .NET (managed) code you have:
From C++ (native) code you have
From the web you can use ASP.NET and the .NET interfaces or you can use XML for Analysis (XMLA) directly over HTTP.
Yes, while SQL Server Data Mining runs on the Windows platform, it supports XML for Analysis (XMLA), a SOAP-based protocol allowing access over HTTP from any platform.
Text mining is a two-step process:
This tutorial at SQLServerDataMining.com describes a complete end-to-end text mining scenario: http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com/ssdm/Default.aspx?tabid=94&Id=164.
SQL Server 2005 DM provides an extensible framework that allows you to easily plug in your own specialized algorithms as well as viewers for native (built-in) or plug-in algorithms. The following resources are available to help you get started:
Whitepaper: SQL Server Data Mining: Plug-In Algorithms
Tutorials and sample code (download includes full source code for a working plug-in algorithm):
Yes, you can! The Managed Plug-in API Framework was shipped with the SQL Server 2005 February 2007 Feature Pack in conjunction with SP2. You can download the complete package, which includes a step-by-step tutorial, a compiled HTML help file as well a sample plug-in algorithm developed in C#, from here.
Yes, the SQL Server 2005 Data Mining viewer controls supplied with the product in Business Intelligence Development Studio and SQL Management Studio are now available as a redistributable web download here
No, SQL Server Data Mining reads data from relational sources as well as SQL Server Analysis Services.
Yes, SQL Server 2005 DM supports building mining models on both relational and OLAP data sources. You can also create a data mining dimension that can be used to slice the data in the source cube with a hierarchy discovered by data mining.
Yes, SQL Server Data Mining works against any OLE DB data source supporting standard SQL. Oracle, DB2, and Teradata are all supported providers and access to MS Access sources has been verified as well.
Yes, data mining transformations in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) allow you to perform data mining operations against data from any source readable by SSIS. This includes native support for flat files and XML sources, including web services, and additional support for custom sources via script transforms.
Yes, you just need to install the Client Components (or just the AS2005 OLE DB provider redistributable, available as a web download here - look for the multi-platform downloads under Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services 9.0 OLE DB Provider on the page). Local mining models can be created using the following two algorithms: Microsoft_Clustering, Microsoft_Decision_Trees.
To upgrade local mining models from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005, connect using the AS2005 OLE DB provider (MSOLAP.3) and set the "Mining Location" connection string property to the name of the directory as you did in SQL 2000. The local mining model service will read all the .dmm files in the directory and import them into a .cub file (if you don't specify an existing or new .cub file in your "Data Source" connection property, a new file called "__MSOLAP90_Imported80MiningModels.cub" is created in the directory specified in "Mining Location" to hold the upgraded models. From this point on, all access to models in that directory will be from this file and not the files created by SQL 2000 data mining. The original files will be left on your hard drive untouched.
Individual mining structures and models can be exported/imported using the EXPORT and IMPORT DMX statements. See Books Online for the syntax.

Fukushima Has Massive Leak of Contaminated Water
Posted August 20th, 2013 @ 1:30pm by Kevin Spak, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – The Fukushima Dai-ichi nightmare just got even more nightmarish. A storage tank at the devastated nuclear plant has sprung a leak, spilling out roughly 300 tons of contaminated water, Reuters reports. And by contaminated, we mean that standing within a couple feet of it for an hour would give a worker five times the annual upper limit on radiation exposure. "We failed to discover the leak at an early stage," a Tepco official says, which means the monitoring system needs to be checked as well.

From a fan who's family had a photo of Doune Castle as crew were preparing it, it also seems that there are further details: his family saw a dead pig and dead deer props, as well as furniture, being moved into the castle. This very strongly suggests to us that not only will the castle be used for its courtyard, but that the castle's Great Hall is going to be used for the Winterfell feast scene.
If one takes that as correct, then the Belfast sets seem to play a more limited role than originally believed. The crypts of Winterfell seem one obvious place where a built set would be needed, and Lord Eddard's bedchambers and other such rooms.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Florist, local fire station team up
Valentine's Day fundraiser to help Arts 'n Autism
Published: Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 2, 2013 at 7:39 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | A local flower shop and some off-duty firefighters are teaming up for a Valentine's Day fundraiser to benefit the Arts 'n Autism after-school program.
Tuscaloosa Flower Shoppe, 2208 University Blvd., will donate all delivery fees and tips collected on Valentine's Day by off-duty Tuscaloosa firefighters, who are volunteering to make the deliveries on Feb. 14.
The flower shop will also sell paper hearts for the fundraiser, ranging in price from $1 to $50.
Anyone who purchases a heart worth $10 or more will be eligible for an upgraded flower arrangement.
All proceeds benefit the mission of Arts 'n Autism, which provides after-school care and arts-based therapy for autistic children and young adults in West Alabama.
This is the third year of the "Hearts on Fire for Arts 'n Autism" fundraiser.
Suzanne Dowling, the program's director of development, said Arts 'n Autism helps families dealing with autism, because so many of them cannot attend typical after-school programs or activities.
"Arts 'n Autism is filling a need for so many of the working families in West Alabama that have children with autism. It gives their children a safe place to be until parents get off work," Dowling said.
"There is a fee for the program, but it is the program's policy not to turn anyone away because they cannot pay," she said. "Fundraisers such as this one help us fill the gap."

FARMINGTON — Ontario County Sheriff's investigators are searching for a man they believe robbed a 7-Eleven convenience store in Farmington around midnight on Wednesday, Oct. 10. Deputies responded to an alarm at the convenience store, located at the southeast corner of Routes 332 and 96, at 11:53 p.m.
Sheriff's Deputies responded after they were notified by the clerk at Seven Eleven that a robbery had just occurred.
According to Investigator Eric Woehr, the suspect is a male, about 5' 6" tall, 150-175 pounds, wearing dark pants with a red stripe down the leg, dark shoes, a maroon hooded sweatshirt and a blue/green bandana covering his face.
Woehr said the suspect displayed a handgun, demanded money and had what was described as a Hispanic accent. After receiving cash from the register the suspect left the area and headed east along Route 96 on a bicycle towards Finger Lakes Casino and Racetrack.
Video footage from the area captured a person of interest riding a bicycle wearing light colored shorts and a dark t-shirt, Woehr said. Due to the time frame, Woehr believes this may have been the suspect who shed the clothing he was wearing.
The suspect escaped with an unknown amount of cash, said Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero. A canine search was conducted following the incident, and deputies also conducted interviews in the surrounding areas, he said.
There were no injuries in the robbery, and the investigation is ongoing.
If anyone recognizes the clothing the suspect was wearing or has any information, they are encouraged to contact Investigator Eric Woehr of the Ontario County Sheriff's Office at (585)396-4634.

Natural Gas Discovery Promises a Boon for ENI and Mozambique
From The New York Times
By Stanley Reed
The Italian oil company Eni said Wednesday that it had made new natural gas discoveries in the waters off Mozambique, a find that would help consolidate Eni's position as one of the leaders in the East Africa region.
Four of the five largest oil and gas discoveries in the world this year have been made off Mozambique, including three earlier finds by Eni, according to the consultants Wood Mackenzie in Edinburgh. These discoveries have the potential to put Mozambique, which previously had little oil and gas production, in the gas-exporting big leagues with countries like Qatar and Australia.
Although Eni is ranked about eighth among Western oil companies in terms of output, with about 1.7 million barrels a day — about half the size of BP or Royal Dutch Shell — the company is a big natural gas player in Europe. And Eni is emerging as a leader in Mozambique exploration.
The newest finds, from the sixth and seventh wells that Eni has drilled there, add an additional six trillion cubic feet of gas to what the Italian company has already found. That is a large amount of gas but relatively incremental. It raises the total to 68 trillion cubic feet that Eni now says it has found in its Mozambique exploration concession, called Area 4, where Eni has a 70 percent shareholding.
Three other shareholders — Galp Energia of Portugal, Kogas of South Korea and ENH, Mozambique's national oil company — each hold 10 percent.
The total amount discovered is equivalent to about 12 billion barrels of oil. A high proportion of the gas is likely to be recoverable, Eni said.
According to Eni's estimates, its share of the Mozambique discoveries so far could be worth around $15 billion.
The Eni finds coincide with an effort by the company's chief executive, Paolo Scaroni, to focus more on exploration and production, and less on transmission of natural gas in Italy. When a company makes a business of exploration and is successful, he said, "you make a huge amount of money."
Eni first found gas in Mozambique last year, not long after a discovery by Anadarko Petroleum of the United States, which is now Eni's main competitor in the region.

Roger defeats Nadal and books |final spot
Roger won the 28th encounter with Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4 and will now play John Isner in Sunday's final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
The match started nearly three hours late because of rain, conditions were very windy and temperatures plunged. "I had a good day. It was a great match in tough conditions," Roger said. "It was so difficult but man I couldn't be more happy. I played amazing. I didn't expect myself to play so well, and this is sometimes when you can pull off the biggest wins of your career. That's where I'm happy I gave myself a chance this week."
Roger was extremely efficient, converting the three break-points he had right upon the first attempt. He was even serving for victory at 5-2 in the second set when Nadal broke his serve. But only two games and a rain-delay later he made everything clear with a final ace.
Roger will play John Isner in Sunday's final. He leads the head-to-head against the American 2-1. Roger had lost the last Davis Cup match on clay in Switzerland just a few weeks ago.
Merci beaucoup Roger et Bravo. Continue comme cela...Tu dois tout détruire sur ton passage, sois sans pitié pour tes adversaires, gagne sans partage...Et réalise à nouveau l'inimaginab
love and kisses,
Congratulations!!Your play was perfect for Nadal.
Good luck against Isner !!
with Love Yumiko (^v^)
Now it is payback time --- go get Isner!!!

Unprecedented Speed and Business Agility: Introducing Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne In-Memory Applications
By Kem Butller-Oracle on May 09, 2013
By Lyle Ekdahl, Group Vice President General Manager, Oracle's JD Edwards
Imagine that you could, in a moment's notice, access your entire portfolio of projects or products in one view, including cost and profitability. Now imagine that your customer service representatives had real-time access to your customers' historical order information and profitability while taking orders. That kind of speed and agility changes the game. Imagine new growth opportunities, smarter decisions, reduced costs, and all the benefits that come with being able to outsmart and outmaneuver your competition.
But this isn't about imagining. We've made it a reality with the new Oracle In-Memory Applications for Oracle Engineered Systems.
As announced at COLLABORATE 13 last month, our new in-memory applications make older computing approaches obsolete and can take runtime out of the equation. Now you can have instant access to scads of information and perform complex data analysis in near real time on live data sets. The result is better context and insights to solve your critical business problems.
Here's the really good news! We have released Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne In-Memory Applications – specifically, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne In-Memory Project Portfolio Management and Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne In-Memory Sales Advisor.
Oracle's Engineered Systems make it possible for us to provide functionality in these applications that we couldn't deliver before. For example, in the past, a team of data analysts would use the Extract, Transfer and Load (ETL) methodology, plus spreadsheets, to pull data. The information you would receive was stale, the manual process was error prone, and the conclusions could be questionable. Today, with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne In-Memory Applications, you get immediate access to massive sets of near real-time transactional information that is broad and deep. Your data is fresher, richer, and more accurate. Which would you rather use to base your business decisions on?
We are very excited about what these In-Memory Applications mean for our JD Edwards customers. We've seen the increased speed and improved visibility translate directly to increased revenue and profitability.
And just so you know, we are in the process of making In-Memory Apps available for the other Oracle Applications business lines. As we roll these high-performance solutions out and as the technology continues to evolve, you can trust that Oracle will be a leader to meet your performance and agility needs – even those you can't imagine today. In the meantime, let's focus on the exciting possibilities that these In-Memory Applications bring to us and the dawn of a new era in enterprise applications.

STOCKTON - After asking what a 27-year-old had for him, a young man shot the victim in south Stockton on Thursday morning, police reported.
The 8 a.m. attack took place at Sierra Nevada and Fremont streets as the victim was walking, police said.

Hannah Ohl paced all scorers on the night, tallying a career-best 19 points to pass her previous personal record of 18 points.
Tee'Ara Copney posted 17 points for her fifth-straight double-figure scoring performance. She was perfect from the charity stripe, going 8-for-8. Copney also grabbed five rebounds for the Spartans, while dishing out a game-high and season-best eight assists to go along with two steals.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks will be available for the Warriors on Friday when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at 6:30 p.m.
On Friday afternoon, the NBA finalized the three-team trade that sent the two former Boston Celtics to Golden State. The approval didn't come until after the Warriors' morning shootaround at Chesapeake Energy Arena, so Crawford and Brooks weren't able to participate. The final hurdle for approval was the physical being performed in Miami for Toney Douglas, who went from the Warriors to the Miami Heat in the deal.
Both players attended and watched the shootaround, but couldn't participate or be made available to the media until the trade went through.
Coach Mark Jackson expects the players to quickly blend in.
"It's basketball," Jackson said. "I'm so used to going to any park, I'll pick four guys and we'll be all right. I don't need to meet them or anything. It's simple basketball."
Jackson, of course, has met both players and they have spent time studying film in addition to watching practice. Crawford figures to be immediately thrust into a major role. He joins the teams having averaged 13.7 points and 5.1 assists while starting 35 of 39 games this season in Boston.
"Jordan will play right away. He's our backup point guard," Jackson said. "With MarShon, it's about staying ready, being ready, and when the opportunity presents itself, capitalizing on it."

Over the coming weeks, hundreds of Irish J-1 visa students will arrive in the U.S. for what is sure to be a summer of adventure. With the J-1 season about to kick off, many third level students will use their experience as a gauge for possible future immigration.
Speaking to the Irish Voice from his home in Limerick City, Andrew Graham was preparing for his imminent trip to New York. The 22-year-old student said he is using the J-1 program to sample life in America.
A final year construction management student at Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT), he reflects that employment prospects in his industry in Ireland are minimal.
"It is hard to get a job in construction, but I am prepared to go anywhere there is work," he told the Irish Voice.
Graham and his friend Brian Treacy decided to wait until they were over 21 to avail of the J-1 program, which allows visa holders to spend three months in the U.S.
"Myself and Brian are not going for the stereotypical J-1 experience," he explained. "We want to get a better picture of what life is like."
For Graham, his journey to the Big Apple is the trip of a lifetime.
"I have always wanted to go there but because of the recession it was not a financial option," he said.
The two friends plan on hitting up Irish neighborhoods in search of work.
"I think we are aiming for Yonkers at the moment. We know there is a high percentage of Irish living there and Gaelic Park is there.
"We will do anything," Graham says, "within reason. We just want to pay for our living expenses and have a good time".
In the middle of his finals at the University of Limerick (UL), Treacy, 22, took a break from studying to speak to the Irish Voice.
New York was an obvious choice for his J-1 experience, having already traveled here four times. The two friends intend to stay with Treacy's uncle until they can find jobs in a place he describes as the best city in the world.
In preparation, Treacy, a math student, got in touch with various GAA clubs New York and is gearing up to play for Kerry during his time here.
"There is no Limerick team," he explained.
Treacy says a lot of his fellow students are heading abroad this summer to sample life in the U.S.
"When I went up for my interview in the American Embassy in Dublin, it was all UL students that day," he said.
"I know 20 students studying business that are going to Ocean City."
The price of a typical J-1 summer abroad does not come cheap. The average cost of a J-1 visa with flights and insurance included is around $1,300. As well as this, travel agents recommend students have at least a few thousand dollars to use as a buffer while they search for work and accommodation.
"Pretty much all my savings will be used," Treacy said.
Despite the expense, the two friends are determined to enjoy their time in New York and have already made plans for the summer. The students are already looking forward to Labor Day weekend when they will attend the Electric Zoo music festival in Randall's Island.
"We want to save money and see all the sites of New York," says Graham.
If their summer experience goes well, the two final year students are considering applying for the yearlong J-1 visa now available to Irish college graduates.
"I would love to stay there," Treacy admits. "I don't think my mother would be happy if I said I was coming for a year."
Last December, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered an "extensive and thorough review" of the J-1 summer work travel visa in response to reports that many students from nations around the world were being exploited.
"We have already instituted one set of reforms and are working toward additional ones that take additional measures to protect participants and prioritize the original cultural intent of the program," a State Department spokesman said at the time.
In response, the State Department launched a new website designated for the J-1 program which details the different variations of the J visas on offer.
According to the website, in 2010 there were 132,342 visas issued.
Numbers for the coming summer J-1 program are expected to remain high. In the Aisling Irish Community Center in Yonkers, board chair Agnes Delaney says they have already received hundreds of J-1 related phone calls.
Established in 1996, the center provides invaluable assistance to Irish immigrants who arrive in the U.S, and the arrival of students in summer makes it their busiest season. The organization provides support and information for many students who arrive here, as for many their J-1 trip is their first time leaving home for an extended period.
"When they arrive at the center, we complete a comprehensive sheet with all their pertinent information including the names of their friends, local phone numbers and a family contact number in Ireland," Delaney told the Irish Voice.

Special Assistance/In Home (SA/IH) program provides additional income to adults who meet the criteria. These adults have been determined by a doctor to need domiciliary (e.g., adult care home, assisted living, family care home, rest home) level of care. Through this program these adults would be able to remain in their homes provided they are safe and the additional monies are sufficient to meet the needs. The SA/IH payment can be used to pay for services that would then stabilize the adults' home environment. The program can be used to pay for: needed household repairs, utility expenses, respite, groceries, medical supplies, clothing, rent/mortgage, transportation, etc.

Police arrested two men accused of firing gunshots at an off-duty officer during an overnight incident.
Officers were called about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to the 5500 block of Bosworth Place, where someone had reportedly fired shots into a home. No injuries were reported.
About 20 minutes later, the off-duty officer was driving in the 1600 block of Summit Road when the vehicle ahead of him stopped abruptly and an occupant opened fire.
The officer's personal vehicle was struck, but he was not injured.
The suspects fled the vehicle, police said.
Officers later arrested 22-year-old Jihad Sanders and 23-year-old Frank Latham and charged them with improperly discharging a firearm into a home and felonious assault.

Alexandra Item # A1690
Large Neoclassical Pendant
Customize This Product
The Alexandra is a large, refined fixture with a stoic sensibility, perfect for flaunting curvaceous Classical Revival shades and larger globes. Like our other popular chain pendants, the Alexandra is quite versatile, and would look equally at home in a dining room or a museum, shop, or sanctuary.
We reproduced our Alexandra from a model originally offered by the R. Williamson Company of Chicago in its 1915 Catalog No. 21. It was shown there with the gadrooned shade we decided it couldn't live without. We thought – and still do – that they create a unified look that is almost effortlessly beautiful.
Classic Revival design was meant to mimic the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Rather than heaping detail upon detail, Classic Revival fixtures pick an element – be it the curve of an elegant shade holder or an acanthus leaf motif – and emphasize it with a simplicity of design.
- Solid brass parts
- Built to order to your custom specifications in our Portland, Oregon factory
- Compatible with 8" fitter shades
- Choose standard incandescent or energy-efficient GU24 sockets
- Suitable for indoor and covered outdoor use (UL Rated Damp)
- Assembled in the U.S.A. of domestic and imported parts

Portable GeneratorsTaking along a portable generator when you travel may not seem necessary if you always stay at campgrounds. However, the real adventure involves traveling to other locations where you may not be able to plug in. Having a portable generator may save you a night in the dark.
Portable generators come in a large variety of sizes and can power everything from a small camper to a full sized RV. The key issue is one of storage. Some such units can be pulled behind in a trailer; others may fit inside a storage bin in the RV. If you are unsure how large a unit you need to power all of your appliances, consult with a Camping World expert.

Gypsum town council members are mostly receptive to a partnership with Eagle County that would improve the recycle collection site at Columbine Market.
The estimated cost of $220,000 would be split between the two entities.
With Tim McMichael absent, the council members voted, 4-2, to continue the partnership with the county for the recycling site at the proposed location. Council members Beric Christiansen and Gary Lebo voted against the motion. Christiansen said he felt a recycle center in a retail area was not ideal for future business.
"What if someone wants to buy Columbine Market and expand it?" he said.
Eagle County Solid Waste and Recycling Director Ken Whitehead said three other sites have been considered but were too small or out of the way.
"The collection center would also be where it already is," Whitehead said.
Gypsum Town Manager Jeff Shroll attested to the current site's heavy use.
"We don't want to spend the money on a new recycle center and not have it used," Shroll said.
Columbine Market currently owns the property with the collection facilities. Whitehead recommended that the town buy the 6,000 square-foot parcel from Columbine Market, which is estimated to cost $34,000. Columbine Market's owner is said to be receptive to the proposal.
"This is a good deal for the town because it would get the property for half the cost, which would be split with the county, and the town would retain ownership if the partnership is ever dissolved or if the collection site is moved," Whitehead said.
The new recycle center would include a cardboard compactor with a 40-yard container, the two 40-yard gable-top roll-off cans for commingle and paper that are already there, and fencing around the perimeter. Access would be accommodated for drive-through bank customers and the fire department, along with a separate entrance from Oak Ridge Drive.
"This is a good solution to improve recycling," Whitehead said. "The cardboard compactor will reduce transport costs, since the container won't have to be emptied as frequently, and there will be less wind-blown trash."
Whitehead told council members that if they ever want to move the site, it wouldn't be overly complicated but there will be a cost to split with the county.
Four of the council members agreed that improvements are needed at the current facility and that the Columbine Market site is the best place for now.
About half of Gypsum's share of the costs will come from in-kind contributions, such as engineering services.
"I think our cash outlay will be about $75,000 or a little less," Shroll said. "We have $50,000 in the trash fund now that would cover most of it."
The next step is for the town to explore a property purchase agreement with Columbine Market before anything else can move forward.
"The partnership between Gypsum and the county will be similar to the agreement we have with Eagle for its recycle site," Whitehead said. "The Eagle site was a little cheaper because the town already owned the land."
