That's what my 19 month old thinks. She is impossible to put down for a nap, she use to be so good. She only gets one a day. But for the past two weeks, all she has done during her nap time is scream! I am going crazy!! Please help!!!
Comments (10)
I remember this phase! Just continue putting her down, if CIO has to happen let it be. She will nap again!!

My LO was on a nap strike about a month ago. I just continued to put him down and after about a week he was back taking them. The only difference was he played quietly in his crib. I agree with pp, let her know that it is naptime, and if she as to cry for a little while then so be it. During that period I told LO that he didn't have to sleep if he didn't want to, but he had to play quietly. Easier said than done, I know! GL! I am hoping mine naps until he is 10
Mommy to Caleb 10/21/2007�and Nolan 11/26/2010
well the trend is continuing into bed time... she just cries. I am not scared of letting her cry. But I hate that she pukes all over when she wants my attention!

Perhaps the crying is now transferring over into bed time from the fear she experiences from crying through nap time?
Maybe CIO doesn't work?

I have no clue. But it is so frustrating right now. I know she is sooo tired, and I don't want her to get use to having everything 'her' way.
Try putting her down a little earlier for a nap. We went through this as well, and after reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child", I tried putting her down at 1pm instead of 1:30pm and lo and behold, it worked! She was just overtired and having a hard time falling asleep because of it. Sounds like your LO is having the same problem.
Married to DH since '04, Mom to DD born 1/17/07, DS born 7/27/09.
ITA with pp - you may need to adjust the time you put her down. For example, when my DS wakes up at 7, he goes down between 12p-12:30p but if he sleeps in closer to 8, he doesn't go until at least 12:45-1p.
HIH and good luck.
This may not be the best idea....but what if you put her in your bed for afternoon naps? I give my daughter her bottle, put the TV on and let her fall asleep in our bed. We surround her with pillows so she does not fall out of the bed.
Good luck.

Maybe let her skip her nap? If she's just a little tired it should be ok, as long as she's not super tired and extra cranky. My DS is almost 16 months, and when he went down to 1 nap a few months ago, he was a little tired at first. It took him a few weeks to fully get used to just the one nap [I didn't pressure him to drop the 2nd nap btw, he did it on his own]. So maybe she is done with napping. Some kids don't need as many naps. DS napped for 45 min today, and didn't fall alseep until 9:30ish.
If nothing you try works, maybe put a few toys in her crib and leave her in there for "quiet time". Sometimes they don't necessarily need to sleep, they just need to relax for a bit and wind down. Sorry that's all I've got, but GL
-And you could try putting her to bed and hour or so earlier if she doesn't nap. That's what I did those first few weeks DS started having only 1 nap. Then when he got used to 1 nap, I moved his bedtime back to the normal time.
Oh and my mom said I was 100% done with naps at 2 years old. And she had to drive me around in the car for the last few months to get me to sleep!

FORMER National Youth Development Agency (NYDA) chairman Andile Lungisa is out on R10,000 bail after being arrested for fraud and money laundering on Friday morning, the Hawks said.
Hawks spokesman Paul Ramaloko told Business Day earlier that Mr Lungisa and three others turned themselves in at the Johannesburg Commercial Crimes court on Friday.
"He handed himself over to the Gauteng Hawks. It is in connection with the Nelson Mandela Sports Day concert, which was held earlier this year," Mr Ramaloko said.
The accused were expected to be charged with corruption and money laundering relating to the R2.5m the Department of Arts and Culture paid for American R&B singer R Kelly to perform at the event on August 17 in Johannesburg.
The department had allegedly paid the money for Mr Kelly's booking to a company linked to the accused but Mr Kelly's agent had reportedly disputed that his client was contracted.
"At some point subsequent to the transfer, it came to the knowledge of the arts and culture minister that R Kelly will not be performing and he had never been procured," said the state prosecutor.
Mr Lungisa's lawyer Thabo Kwinana said on the sidelines of the bail hearing that Mr Lungisa — accused number one — had secured R Kelly's services through his company, Makhanda Music.
Mr Kwinana said Makhanda Music then entered into a contract with VBT Consulting, which had approached him for assistance, indicating that it had an agreement with R Kelly.
On July 31, he said, VBT Consulting, represented by accused number two Thabo Shogole, entered into a contract for R Kelly's service with Clear View Promotions, representing the Department of Arts and Culture.
However, Clear View Promotions paid the contract fee later than the date agreed in the contract, said Mr Kwinana. He said the payment was made almost two weeks later, on August 12, to Sishongoma Suppliers, represented by accused number four Xolisile Guqaza.
Mr Guquza subsequently transferred the money to the account of Mr Lungisa's wife, Ursula Sali, also accused number five. Ms Sali then transferred a portion of the funds to the accounts of the accused, and retained a portion.
R Kelly, who had already been in the country for another music event, left the country on August 11.
Mr Shogole is also out on R10,000 bail, while Mr Guqaza was released for R5,000. Ms Sali, who has a three-month-old baby, got out with a warning.
The court granted that the accused hand in their passports and travel documents. They were also instructed not make contacts with the witnesses.
The NYDA has been plagued with problems in recent years. The Democratic Alliance has often slammed the NYDA over salaries earned by its board members. Last month it emerged that NYDA board members and employees received R7.58m in bonuses.
In 2011, details of a R106m youth festival organised by the agency prompted opposition parties to call for the NYDA's disbandment.

The New Yorker is not known for using photography on its covers, but it has happened, first with a William Wegman photograph of a weimaraner dressed as Eustace Tilley (Feb. 21 & 28, 2000), and then last week for the Spring Style issue, with a series of four photographs combined with a line drawing by Christoph Niemann. For March 30, art editor Françoise Mouly has gone back to one of her favorite cartoon artists, Barry Blitt, featuring Hillary Clinton in "Clinton's Emoji."
I, on the other hand, have chosen to continue Mouly's new tradition of using photography, if only with an image that looks as if it could be an illustration. I took this photograph at the subway station near Connie Island or on the subway on the way there, I don't quite remember.
I have an idea for an illustration of Ted Cruz, which I was going to do for this week's cover, but the airplane crash in the Alps left me with a somber feeling. Perhaps I'll revisit Cruz for the next cover.
If you know of any other occasion when The New Yorker has used photography on the cover, please let me know. Thanks.by

Three-year-old Adam Brotheim is the apple of his father's eye.
"Only child and spoiled as can be," says Josh Brotheim.
His parents would do just about anything to keep him safe. In 2006 the HPV vaccine was recommended for young girls. In February of 2012, it was extended to boys.
"I would consider it but I would definitely have to do my research, see if there's any side effects or anything like that," says Josh.
Parents were encouraged to get their daughters vaccinated because it believed to be the most effective way to prevent cervical cancer.
"It was initially thought that as long you vaccinate the women that you would be able to cut off the transmission cascade. But newer studies show that if you can vaccinate both sexes that you'll be able to cut the disease process off sooner," says Dr. Kevin Fleishman, a obstetrician/gynecologist on Lee Memorial Health System's medical staff.
These new studies found several cancers thought to be caused by HPV are on the rise and that men are three times more likely to carry certain strains. Making it clear this is not a feminine problem but a public health problem.
"Absolutely, more and more cancers have been shown to be associated with the HPV virus. In addition to cervical cancer, other cancers are associated with the virus as well as anal cancer and certain oral cancers," says Dr. Fleishman.
Children between 9 and 12 get the best response to the vaccine and side effects are minimal. In the end, it falls to parents to make a choice for their child.
"If there was proof to show that it would help, then yes. You definitely want to keep your son or daughter safe," says Josh.Now federal guidelines changed from 'could' get to 'should' get the HPV vaccine.

get an mp3 player, ds is only so fun for so long
well ds requires more money for games over time and what not
+ they are 2 totally different things, would you rather play games during trips/rides/whatever or listen to music
Everything in this signature except for this text was made by Wiired, he is my creator and almighty.
get an mp3 player, ds is only so fun for so long
i say ipod... its pretty cool. i listen to music own all the ugly creatures on doom 1 and 2, own at pokemon red, yellow, and silver, make my own custom layouts, play battletoads and doubledragon, watch vids, look at pictures, stare at the brush metal backing, hold it in my hand, use it as a harddrive for my english and 3d animation class, and told store winrare... you never know when your gonna need it.. all that and still 25 of 30(27.9) gigs... ahhh i love my ipod
Honest man... give up the pokemon. Yes I think pokemon is ridiculous and a waste of time money and talent but this is coming with all that put aside. Ipod. Ipod is for music, music is the hearbeat of life. Music is culture, its art, its a means of self expression and release. Pokemon, its a game, u play it till u "catch em all" then its over, time wasted to meet a goal of no worth but bragging right. If you truly enjoy music, then it is no contest. Its obvious i'm a music major but honestly, music will better your life. Pokemon sorry to say will really only just waste it. In music u find ideas, life lessons, and all around sick ass beats to bang your head to...
I could go on forever but thats what it all comes down to. If you like music at all... there is no contest... buy an ipod. Leave the pokemon in the past, its fine to waste brainpower on it when your in elementary school. Now its time to grow up and learn from life through the culture of music.
If that was the biggest bs you've ever read, then forget u read it. Its obvious your still a child and need to just stick with pokemon.
will trade wii for 360 elite yep its happend 360 owns wii ALREADY
OH... and take that plastic guitar controller if you have one n shove it up yer

no. it was. how has pokemon changed at all since red and blue?Originally Posted by asdfnick
turned based rpg is old, its dead, if pokemon wants to survive past these next two pearl and diamond. its gonna have to finally change its gameplay. Attack, slash, attack, slash... so lame. move on. Besides, he's gettin or got the wii... thats enough game system. So the whole isnt any game a waste of time argument doesnt hold any clout here.
And its ok to disagree but im right. Music, its no contest a better investment than pokemon. Wether u like pokemon or not. Pokemon isnt culture, it isnt creativity, it isnt intillectual. Take your time to enjoy the music with an ipod instead. I'm right. Thats all there is to it. Dont get pissed, just accept it.

just get whichever would make you happiest. music or games?
i personally would get the DS, because I had both an ipod and a DS at one point. but my ipod bricked on me for no apparent reason. i was playing a song and told it to stop and go to another one, it froze and never worked again. i thought for sure it was just a glitch and maybe needed to reset or recharge or something. NOTHING worked and i had to toss it. this hasn't soured me against ipods, i still want another one, but they're not as sturdy as the DS. ipods are quite fragile.
but the main reason i personally haven't got another one yet, is because i dont like music as much as i like games. i LOVE music, i have 1,000s of songs on my pc. it's just that theres only so many times i can listen to a song, and then im sick of it. sometimes i listen to too much music at once and don't want to hear ANY music anymore.
but i play my DS all the time. i play games all the time everyday. ds, wii, ps2, xbox. love'em to death and that's why i'd suggest getting a ds. There's tons of fun games on there.
it really just comes down to what you want to do more, music or games.
or just wait and get an iphone because the DS just sucks and the iphone is probably more powerful than it.
Get a DS and a DS-Xtreme flashcart. Then you can listen to music neway.

The goal of the conference is to reveal the richness and diversity of what the term 'luxury' embraced (and embraces) and to consider how specialist markets were gradually created and defined. Two specific approaches will be developed. On one hand, the focus will be on people and goods; on the other, it will be on points of sale and the material and symbolic power deriving from this particular sector of the economy.
The conference is oragnised by the Laboratoire de Recherche Historique Rhône-Alpes (UMR 5190) and will take place at the musée Gadagne in Lyon, on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 November 2012.

Greeley City Manager Roy Otto said as a ninth-grader new to Greeley in the 1970s, he depended a lot on his teachers and coaches.
"They came alongside of me and helped me reach my potential and accomplishments," Otto said Monday.
Those relationships have stayed with Otto since. So much so, in fact, that now that he's in a position to pay that back, he is working overtime with the city to make sure all children in Greeley get those same opportunities.
"This is me living out my life's mission to encourage and support people to reach out and experience their potential," Otto said.
On Monday night, the Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education honored Otto, his employees and the Greeley City Council for the many partnerships they have developed with the district.
The city has always shared facilities such as the recreation center pool and the Union Colony Civic Center. In return, the district has allowed the city to use its schools' gymnasium and fields for city programs.
However, during the past 18 months or so, the city has expanded its middle school sports programs and its 21st century before- and after-school programs.
"The city really wants to step up its involvement with the schools," said Amie Cieminski, director of secondary leadership for the district. "Roy is so passionate about helping. With Roy's leadership he says, 'Let's formalize this to make these schools robust' instead of, 'Oh yeah, we kind of do stuff.' "
Otto also has begun a program for coaches — which includes a coaches association — throughout the city that includes all the schools, the city coaches and coaches at the University of Northern Colorado. It is headed by former Colorado State University cross country coach Bob Perry. CHAMP — Character and Athletics Make it a Priority — helps coaches lead at their highest ability.
John Bettolo, coordinator of secondary schools for the district, said the biggest benefit has been with middle school sports development. Since the city took over middle school football and volleyball for sixth and seventh graders, the participation numbers in those sports has increased — 284 more students in football and 98 in volleyball, and with cross country and swimming, Bettolo said there were a total of 404 more middle school participants.
"Half of Franklin participated in sports this fall," he said.
The district intends to extend the offerings to girls basketball this winter, and it has added programs for the sixth graders at Monfort and Bella Romero elementary schools.
But Otto does not plan to stop there. He also plans to find a way to help teachers of the arts engage their students with the city's help, as well.
"In the early-'70s, I remember growing up listening to my dad, who was a music director at Arvada West High School, when resources were being doled out, if it was between art and athletics, art never won," Otto said. "So I also want to reach out to arts teachers. It's too easy when facing challenge to be condemning. This is our opportunity to bless and help those teachers."
The city really wants to step up its involvement with the schools. Roy is so passionate about helping. With Roy's leadership he says, 'Let's formalize this to make these schools robust' instead of, 'Oh yeah, we kind of do stuff.'

And area Division II football fans have plenty to gain when the two Erie teams collide today at 7 p.m. in their first game at Veterans Stadium in 16 years.
The Golden Knights (4-2, 3-0) and Lakers (3-3, 1-2) renew their rivalry for the 17th time, with proceeds from tickets sold to benefit the ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) Chapter of Western Pennsylvania.
"We had 10,000 tickets printed, and hopefully that's not enough,'' Mercyhurst coach Marty Schaetzle said about the decision to put the Lakers' home game at the Stadium. "We want to raise money for the awareness of those who have battled ALS. We also hope fans come out to watch good Division II football, which is special here with three teams including Edinboro.''
The Knights smashed the Scots 55-14 Saturday, their first win in eight tries over Edinboro, amassing 611 total yards of offense.
"Gannon has the best offense I've seen from them in terms of balance,'' Schaetzle said. "We're the decided underdog."
Though redshirt sophomore quarterback Liam Nadler spread the wealth to a talented receiving corps and senior tailback Jansen Jones is approaching 1,000 yards rushing, it starts up front for the Knights, who have an impressive win over Slippery Rock, which thrashed Mercyhurst and Indiana (Pa.).
"Our offensive line controlled the game with Edinboro, and they're our unsung heroes,'' Gannon coach Brad Rzyczycki said. "They're the strength of our team.''
Redshirt junior guard Alex Davis played at Strong Vincent and attended Northwest Pennsylvania Collegiate Academy, which looks down at the Stadium bowl. He said experience on the offensive front is crucial.
"We've all played at least a year and we're all friends and hang out together,'' Davis said. "We call ourselves the Wolfpack, and we do our job to give opportunities for others to do the best they can.''
Davis missed 2012 with an injury, and Gannon went 3-8.
"Having the same offensive coordinator (Josh Hoeg) for a second year helps so much, and we came out on a roll offensively,'' Davis said.
Mercyhurst redshirt-senior cornerback Aunre' Davis of Warren, Ohio, who transferred from Division I Bowling Green in 2012 and who will face any of four talented receivers, said the Lakers gained confidence from their romps over winless Cheyney and Seton Hill, and also the 58-34 thumping by the Rock.
"We finally got everybody rolling the past couple of weeks,'' Davis said. "We did learn from Slippery Rock that even though we beat them easily last year (38-23), this year they gave it back to us. You don't underestimate anybody.''
Mercyhurst, which won 38-29 at Gannon in 2012 as Brandon Brown-Dukes ran for 192 yards, leads the series 10-5-1, though Gannon won in 2011 and 2012.
Brown-Dukes, a redshirt sophomore from Orlando, Fla., went back to a 20-13 loss at Clarion Sept 21 and noted that it was a wake-up call.
"Nobody liked what we did in that game, and we knew we had to practice and play harder,'' Brown-Dukes said.
Averaging 7.1 yards per carry and 101.1 yards per game this season, Brown-Dukes said he's hyped up for Gannon.
"We have momentum coming in, and if we want to beat them, we have to control the ball on the ground, and I like that,'' he said.
Mercyhurst expects to have redshirt-senior quarterback Anthony Vendemia in the lineup after he missed the 50-19 rout of Seton Hill with an injury.
The Knights, with six true freshmen on defense, are playing with confidence as well, despite using 19 different starters,.
"That's the most I've ever used in the first six games,'' said Rzyczycki, also GU's defensive coordinator.
Nick Bengal, a cornerback and true freshman from the Cincinnati area, has succeeded covering opponents' top receivers.
"Coach has put me in great positions, and we trust him and his teaching,'' Bengal said. "We're not true freshmen anymore. Coach gives us a game plan and we try to execute it.''
The Knights have the likes of IUP and California down the road, but Mercyhurst presents next high hurdle to cross at a neutral site.
"We have a sign that says 'What have you done to beat Mercyhurst today?' '' Bengal said. "But this is just another big game on our schedule.''
"It's going to be great to come down those steps again,'' Davis said. "We had a little practice there (Monday) night. It's a little different atmosphere for all of us, but we come off a huge rivalry game and a win, so we roll into this week with belief in ourselves.''

One of the joys of fishkeeping is showing another experienced aquarist your latest fish acquisition and hearing, "Whoa, beautiful fish. What is it?" This is my experience with the American flagfish (Jordanella floridae). I am not an impulsive buyer and, as with the other ornamentals kept in my fish room, I researched and planned for more than a year before special ordering six of these fish from my local pet shop. The reason for the long wait will be explained momentarily.
Jordanella floridae are ray-finned fish from the family Cyprinodontidae (killifishes, pupfishes and toothcarp) and are considered to be a single genus (Jordanella) of the North American pupfishes. This beautiful native fish gets its name because of a striking resemblance to the Stars and Stripes.

Personal History:
I graduated from Moscow University with a M.S. degree in bioorganic chemistry and obtained a Ph.D. degree in biophysics from the Shemyakin-Ovchinnikov Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. I received postdoctoral training in biophysics and protein folding with Wayne Bolen at University of Texas Medical Branch and on prions with Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner at UCSF. In UTMB, I established a pioneering approach for folding natively unfolded proteins. With Dr. Bolen, we described a new thermodynamic force that contributes to protein folding and stability more than 40 years after Kauzmann introduced four basic thermodynamic forces responsible for protein folding. As a postdoctoral fellow with Stanley Prusiner, I laid the ground work on synthetic prions and showed for the very first time that the transmissible prion disease can be induced in animals using amyloid fibrils prepared in vitro.
Research Interests:
Image 1: High resolution atomic force microscopy image of prion protein amyloid fibrils
Research in my laboratory focuses on elucidating molecular mechanisms responsible for prion replication and structure of infectious forms of the prion protein.
Prion diseases, or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, are fatal neurodegenerative disorders that can arise spontaneously, be inherited or acquired through transmission. The transmissible agent of prion diseases devoid of nucleic acids, but instead consists of a prion protein in its abnormal, β-sheet rich state (PrPSc), which is capable of replicating itself according to the template-assisted mechanism.
Current studies in our laboratory are focused on the following topics: (i) establishing a relationship between prion structure and infectivity; elucidating molecular and structural requirements essential for the prion protein to acquire infectious conformation; (ii) defining molecular features responsible for prion strain diversity; (iii) developing new imaging approaches for probing conformation and composition within individual PrP particles; (iv) developing Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification-based approach for ultra-sensitive and robust detection and amplification of prions.
In the past few years, our laboratory introduced several innovative approaches and concepts, including a new approach for assessing conformation within individual amyloid fibrils and a novel concept on conformational switching within individual fibrils. Our most recent studies introduced a new hypothesis that transmissible prion diseases can be triggered by structures substantially different from that of authentic PrPSc. This new concept has important implications for understanding the genesis of infectious prion structures and the etiology of transmissible prion diseases.
Image 2: Prion plaques in a brain of animal infected with synthetic prions produced in vitro
Lab Techniques and Equipment:
Ongoing studies in our laboratory include biochemical, molecular imaging, structural, cellular, pathological and experimental animal approaches to understand the mechanisms by which prions replicate, to define molecular features responsible for prion infectivity and prion strain diversity.
Our laboratory is equipped with Atomic Force Microscope PicoLE combined with the inverted fluorescence microscop, CD spectrophotometer J- 810 (Jacso); FTIR spectrometer Tensor 27 equipped (Bruker); fluorimeter FlouroMax-3 (Jobin Yvon); dynamic light scattering DynaPro-MS/X (Protein Solutions); HPLC system with fluorescence and photodiode detectors (Shimadzu); FPLC system Akta prime (Amersham); fluorescence inverted microscope TE-2000 (Nikon); automated sonicators Misonix S-4000.
We collaborate with leading experts on amyloid structure (Robert Tycko, NIH), prion pathology (Herbert Budka, Austria; Martin Jeffrey, UK) and amyloid imaging (Peter Nilsson, Sweden).

Victory FL Diavari Riflescopes
The brilliant premium riflescope for long-range shooting
The brilliant premium riflescope for long-range shooting
Brochure Victory FL Diavari
(PDF, 8 pages, English, 9,9 MB)
Instructions for use Victory FL Diavari
(PDF, 86 pages, 9 languages, 0,9 MB)
Additional documents and the Carl Zeiss Sports Optics catalog can be found under Service and Support.
The Victory FL Diavari riflescopes are specialists in the ZEISS range in two ways. On the one hand the exceptionally high magnifications make them genuine long-range shooting experts. They identify every detail of the target and can place a shot with precision even on small targets. On the other hand there is no other riflescope on the market that combines a 72 mm lens diameter with 24 x magnification. Experience the breathtaking sharpness of detail even in the depths of twilight or in pale moonlight. All Victory FL Diavari riflescopes also benefit from the hugely impressive FL concept: brilliant images with no distracting chromatic aberrations. The perfect solution, even in advanced twilight conditions.
Here you find the top features of the Victory FL Diavari riflescopes.
The exceptionally high 16 x and 24 x magnifications offer perfect conditions for clean shots at maximum distances. Whether you are hunting live game or target shooting, you will be able to see every detail. Equally impressive are the 56 and 72 mm lens diameters: the bright pictures they give help you to get the most out of the last light for successful hunting.
Fluoride glass in the lenses reduces distracting chromatic aberrations for a brilliant, high contrast image. This means that even at greater distances it is still possible to identify important details of the target. The high light transmission provided by the Carl Zeiss T* multi-layer coating gives you the necessary brightness, even at high magnifications.
Two totally precise long-range shooting concepts are available: the Rapid-Z® ballistic reticle and the bullet drop compensator (ASV). The Rapid-Z® ballistic reticle gives holdover points that you can use intuitively to compensate for bullet drop. Set the ASV to the desired distance to be sure of accurate aiming, even over long distances.
High magnification and great distances require exact focussing in order to maintain a sharp image. When this is achieved you can ensure maximum precision and avoid so-called parallax errors. The setting range on the easy-to-reach adjustment knob goes from 50 m to infinity. Trust your eyes and shoot as cleanly as the image of the Victory FL Diavari riflescopes.
Keep your target clearly in sight whatever the weather. Water simply rolls off the tried and tested LotuTec® coating, ensuring clear visibility even in rain and snow. This innovative protective layer also makes it quick and easy to remove dust and dirt.
Illuminated and non-illuminated reticles, including a ballistic reticle to compensate for bullet drop, are all available. They are all located in the 2nd image plane in order to keep the fine reticle constant even when the magnification changes. This gives you minimum target coverage for precise shooting at long range. The vertical setting range has been maximised for better bullet drop compensation at long range using the ASV.
The stable aluminium housing and the mechanics are designed for extremely high shot stability and for use in the harshest of conditions. The interior is also filled with nitrogen, which makes it resistant to condensation even in cold, wet weather. The rifle mounting system uses 30 mm ring mounts or 34 mm rings for the Victory FL Diavari 6-24x72 T*. The riflescope is built with extreme use in mind. You can rely on it anywhere in the world.
The 30 mm ring mounting system enables the Victory FL Diavari riflescopes to be mounted on all rifles in common use. The 30 mm ring mounting system simply offers a wider range of options. It is therefore suitable for virtually all rifles in common use and every type of mounting element.

The reticles of the Victory FL Diavari riflescopes are all located in the 2nd image plane. This means they stay the same size across the whole magnification range; even at higher magnifications the target coverage stays low and allows very precise shooting. The choice of reticles makes it clear: with the Victory FL Diavari models you are far ahead of the field.
The Reticle 60 is lighter and finer in looks than the similar Reticle 40. The posts only cover half the area, leaving double the amount of space between them. This makes it perfect for precision shooting with minimum coverage of the target game. At 12 x magnification and a target coverage of just 0.55 cm at 100 m you keep a good overview without losing sight of the finer details. The illuminated dot is very bright, and can therefore be used for daytime hunting. The dot can be finely adjusted, which makes it ideal for night-time hunting too. The reticle is either in the 1st or 2nd image plane, depending on the riflescope.
We can also offer an illuminated version of this classic reticle. At 12 x magnification the characteristic dots of the reticle are exactly 10 cm at 100 m apart. You can therefore calculate the distance to the target, as the angle between the points equals 1 milliradian = 10 cm / 100 m. Since all of the inner crosshairs and the dot are illuminated, you can use this to your advantage to estimate distances even in the deepest twilight.
The Rapid-Z®7 is the performance-enhanced version of the Rapid-Z®5, with holdover points of up to 700 m for maximum shooting distances. The reticle is available in an illuminated or non-illuminated version, with the specific Rapid-Z indexed holdover lines for distances of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and up to 700 m. The sighting-in distance for the Rapid-Z®7 is 200 m. Here, too, the adjustment of the reticle to the bullet is determined by the choice of magnification. In order to work out the necessary magnification the Carl Zeiss ballistics programme, containing around 1400 loads, is available to download free of charge.
Note: this adjustment is essential to ensure the holdover lines correspond with the bullet drop.
In addition, the length of the holdover lines can be used to estimate the strength of the side winds.
The parallax error occurs if the game is a long distance away and the shooter looks into the eyepiece at a slight angle. Then the image and reticle are shifted next to each other slightly. Because the Victory FL Diavari riflescopes are especially designed for shooting over long distances, they are equipped with adjustable parallax compensation for the range of 50 m to infinity. With precise focussing, you then have no parallax errors even with high magnifications or angled views, and the reticle and image are at the same image plane and are razor-sharp.
The Victory FL Diavari 6-24x72 T* is not normally available with the Rapid-Z® reticle. However, conversion is possible at any time. Our customer service team in Wetzlar would be happy to help you further with this.
The ASV can be retrofitted and the reticle can be converted to Rapid-Z®. This way you can then select between one of the two concepts.
Meaning of the abbreviations

ZEISS T* multi-layer coating for extremely high transmission and low reflex susceptibility
ZEISS multi-layer coating (multi coating)
Phase correction coating on the roof prisms, which provide a higher resolution of the finest detail structures. All ZEISS binoculars with roof prisms use this coating
Previously used to designate binoculars that can be worn by people who wear glasses.
Now all ZEISS binoculars and spotting scope eyepieces are suitable for people who wear glasses, so the "B" designation is no longer used
Binoculars with mechanical image stabilisation
Riflescope models with ZEISS mounting rail.
Riflescope with illumination control
Extra low Dispersion = low chromatic aberrations
High Definition. HD is not a type of lens. Instead it describes the result of the ED lenses: very good resolution
High Transmission = lenses by SCHOTT with very good transmission properties.
Smart Focus = Conventional binoculars require the focusing wheel to be turned 2.5 times in order to switch from the close focus to the maximum observation distance. The VICTORY SF only requires the wheel to be turned 1.8 times.

An off-duty correctional officer was arrested last night after he allegedly pistol-whipped a Frankford man near the victim's house, police said.
Jose Negron, 26, was on Frankford Avenue near Fillmore Street about 7 p.m. when he was attacked by the officer, Timothy Wilson, 33, police said. The altercation apparently grew out of a conflict between the two men about a month ago.
Police said Negron, of Fillmore Street near Frankford Avenue, was struck at least twice on the head with a handgun during the incident. He was treated at Frankford Hospital, Frankford Division, where he received eight stitches.

What is the difference between 1080i and 1080p?
In the early days of television broadcast companies solved the problem of bandwidth capacity by transmitting only half the video lines of each video frame 60 times per second. Because it was so fast you eye preserves two frames as one which completes the frame. This is interlaced frames which is designated by the "i" after the number of lines of resolution. 1080p or progressive contains the full image in each frame and therefore look sharper and is much easier to work with in post-production environments.

I do not think this organization really exists. I suspect that it is part of a tax fraud.
I have visited their location at 404 Main St., Gaithersburg MD, and I have never seen anyone there. The door is always locked, on weekends, weekdays, always. I left messages on their voice mail and got no response. They don't seem to have a phone anymore.
I am suspicious because the rent on the real estate in this neighborhood is quite expensive. No one could rent there for years, and never use the space unless something funny was going on.

MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, MI -- A home in Muskegon Heights was struck by gunfire early Thursday morning, police said.
Officers responded shortly before 3 a.m. Thursday to shots fired in the 2700 block of Sixth Street in Muskegon Heights, said Muskegon Heights Police Chief Lynne Gill.
A home in that block was damaged by gunfire and authorities attempted to get a statement from the home owner.
However, Gill said the homeowner refused to give a statement to police, so investigators received limited information about the incident.
Officers who responded to the scene did not locate a suspect or suspects believed to be responsible for the shots fired. The investigation continues.

"Zander saved my life," the embattled singer, 36, who has attempted suicide several times, tells ABC News's Andrea Canning on 20/20 in an interview scheduled to air Friday night. "Every time I wanted to let go and give in, I remember what he did for me. [I love him] more than anything. He is my little angel."
McCready – who was recently found hiding Zander, 5, in closet in Arkansas a few days after taking him from his legal guardian – admits that "everbody makes mistakes," but she doesn't consider snatching her son as one of them.
"Do you have any idea what it is like to have one minute with him after having four and a half years without him?" McCready says of the little boy, who is currently in foster care. "[Imagine] not being able to have one second holding him, smelling him and touching him. I'm not going to give up one minute, not for anything, not for anyone."
The troubled country singer lost custody of her son to her parents during a substance abuse battle. She claims her mother, Gayle Inge, physically abuses her son, alleging she's beaten him with a wooden spoon.
"There are scars on Zander's back … scars on his bottom and his legs from the spoon," says McCready. Inge vehemently denies those claims.
"My mother believes she is a prophet sent from God," McCready continues. "They see dead people in their home all the time – spirits, demons, ghosts. They were encouraging my son to go around with them to churches and stand up on stage and, you know, scream gibberish."

Authorities in Las Cruces say they are having trouble enforcing the city's noise ordinance.
The problem is bad enough that city council will discuss the issue on Monday.
Authorities say that when they receive complaints, they can not locate the source of the noise or the source has already left by the time they arrive.
Las Cruces police say they had received nearly 200 complaints so far this year.

LEETONIA - Leetonia senior forward Cody Stokes has a unique shooting style which garners some interesting comments from teammates and coaches.
None of them are complaining about the results though.
Pouring in 34 points with nine rebounds, Stokes led the Bears to a key Inter-Tri County League lower tier victory, 84-78, over Wellsville on Friday.
Twelve of Stokes' points came from beyond the three-point arc where he showcased his non-jumping shot. He also turns his one foot sideways while doing this.
"Teammates call me twinkle foot because of how I turn my foot sideways," Stokes said.
Stokes said they've also been known to play the song "Stanky Leg" by the hip-hop group GS Boyz in teasing fashion when he's around.
"It's definitely unorthodox, but the ball goes in," Leetonia coach Mark Taylor said. "I'm not going to mess with it."
The Bears are 3-1 and 1-1 in the ITCL lower tier. After a league opening loss to Southern Local, Taylor said the team needed this to get back on track.
"December is probably the most important month," Taylor said. "This is when you develop confidence and continuity. If you start losing early people might not buy into what you're doing or believe in it."
The Bears picked up their first league win of the season by going all out against the Tigers. The game was played at break-neck speed right out of the gate. A total of 54 points by both teams were scored in the opening quarter.
"We were down 14 or 16 points early to Southern the other night, so coach put us in the press right away to try to get us going," Stokes said.
Offensively the plan worked very well. Senior guard Nick Altomare dictated a lot of the up tempo action and ended up with 21 points and three steals.
"He's the one that makes them go," Wellsville coach David Thompson said.
Brandon Dattilio added 13 points for the Bears, while Ian Sevenich had 11 points off the bench.
The two teams played an even first half as no team established any sort of consistent rhythm. Leetonia broke the stalemate a bit in the third quarter opening up a seven point lead at one point. The Tigers (3-2, 1-2) had the lead down to three by the end of the third quarter, but Leetonia's more experienced players picked up the slack and helped the team pull away down the stretch.
"We wanted the up tempo game, but we wanted to play some defense too," Thompson said. "They just beat us off the dribble too much."
Thompson said concentration was a problem, but he said that the Tigers' league fate is not in jeopardy yet.
"It's hard to say how the league will go," Thompson said. "The league champion could have four losses this year. It's wide open."
Jordan Sloan had 20 points and five assists to lead the Tigers. Josh Carter was sharp on the boards with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Leetonia will have another challenge on their hands today when they host Western Reserve.
"I'm a little worried about it, but these are 16, 17 and 18-year old kids," Taylor said. "Hopefully they can come out tomorrow and give 110 percent."
Wellsville is at Lowellville on Tuesday.
Wellsville won the jayvee game 86-43. Tim Thrasher had 19 points and Jansen Stoakes added 17 points for the Tigers. Trent Ferry had 22 points for Leetonia.
Game notes
- A Wellsville fan was ejected from the game for verbally abusing the officials with 1:25 left in the third quarter.
WELLSVILLE SCORING: Camden Douglas 3-0-9, Nate Scott 4-2-12, Seth Bradford 5-0-10, Jordan Sloan 8-3-20, Tim Thrasher 3-0-6, Sam McIntosh 1-0-2, Josh Carter 9-1-19. TEAM TOTALS: 33-73, 6-8: 78.
LEETONIA SCORING: Nick Altomare 5-9-21, Brandon Dattilio 4-3-13, Cody Stokes 13-4-34, Cody Valentine 2-1-5, Zack Van Giesen 0-0-0, Ian Sevenich 4-0-11m Alex Maltbie 0-0-0, Josh Van Giesen 0-0-0, Ian Stecker 0-0-0. TEAM TOTALS: 28-54, 17-25: 84.
Three-point goals: Wellsville 6-20 (Douglas 3, Scott 2, Sloan), Leetonia 11 (Stokes 4, Sevenich 3, Altomare 2, Dattilio 2).

Crafting since childhood, I mostly knit but I also enjoy sewing and spinning. Sometimes I do stuff like crochet, cross stitching, bobbin lace or tatting.View all patterns by designer (5) »
For every knitting project I start by making a gauge swatch. There is only one except: socks! Starting a sock is as much knitting as a swatch, and I can even try it on my foot to check the fit! These socks where designed for just that case " a lovely sock yarn that you do not know the exact gauge. So you start making a stockinette toe and foot, take your gauge (and calculate some adjustments for the rest
of the sock if necessary) and now you can start a pattern! In this case, the gusset increases are made purlwise on the instep and a cabled pattern, resembling shoe lacing, breaks the sometimes boring stockinette. Instead of ribbing, the cuff is worked in moss stitch.

UNECE Reports on Workshop on Neman River Basin Management in a Changing Climate
5 November 2012: The UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) newsletter for the week of 5-9 November 2012 reports on workshops on challenges and prospects for the joint management of the Neman River basin, which addressed the impacts of climate change.
The workshops, which took place from 15-19 October 2012, in Hrodna, Belarus, and Druskininkia, Lithuania, brought together participants from the Russian Federation, Belarus and Lithuania, and included a field trip from Hrodna to Kaunas in Lithuania. The workshops took place under the aegis of the "river basin management and climate change adaptation in the Neman River Basin" project being implemented by UNECE and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) Belarus. The project has developed an understanding by riparians about expected climate change impacts in the basin, including increased droughts and floods affecting agriculture, industry and water quality.
The workshops demonstrated the importance of transboundary approaches to water management and climate change adaptation. UNECE expressed the hope that the outcomes will support ongoing negotiations of a Neman basin agreement by the three basin States. The project is one of a programme of pilot projects on climate change adaptation being supported under the UNECE Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (UNECE Watercourses Convention) launched in 2010.

Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Stays Focused Despite Title Letdowns
By Jake Donovan - It hasnt been an easy few months for Mikey Garcia. The unbeaten featherweight contender has watched two title shots go south, for reasons far beyond his control. Having waited more than a year for his mandatory title fight to come to fruition, Garcia will now have to wait just a few months longer.
A consolation prize is offered in an HBO showcase appearance this weekend. After watching separate fights with Celestino Caballero and Orlando Salido fall through, Garcia (29-0, 25KO) now faces former title challenger Jonathan Barros in the HBO-televised co-feature Saturday evening in Las Vegas.

Mikey has to stay doing what he has been doing and take care of business this weekend. He shouldn't be listening ppl saying that he doesn't have a killer instinct and that he also should be more aggressive.
He fights very similar like his brother used to fight but Mikey is more technical

Mikey's got serious skills, but if he wins tomorrow I don't understand why him vs. Salido would be in PR. The perfect landing spot for that fight would be Home Depot Center IMO, 8,000 seat capacity with a good supporting fight would probably fill the place.

Saldaña gets friendly confirmation hearing, despite rancor on immigration
update 11:30am CT
The hearing has ended.
Coburn, the top Republican on the committee, is clearly eager to see Saldaña confirmed. But he used the hearing to press some concerns about the slowdown of deportations in the last year, and about the release of 600 illegal immigrants with U.S. criminal records last year, as detailed by the department's inspector general. He also pressed Saldaña to explain how she would prioritize ICE's rather disparate missions, weighing immigration enforcement against intellectual property protection, for instance.
"You have got to look at what is the biggest threat to the American public," she said, and that has to be done case-by-case.
The tone was entirely friendly.
"It was a great day for us," said the nominee's sister, Judge Marisela Saldaña. "This is a very, very tough job but they're depositing it on the right shoulders."
"She's going to work hard," agreed their brother Lupe Saldaña, a former head of the American GI Forum, a Hispanic veterans group. "The diversity and cultural background is going to suit her well."
He agreed that it's a tough job, given the political cross pressures on immigration policy on display at the hearing. "It's a no-win situation," he said.
update 9:25am CT
Sen. John Cornyn gave his full-throated endorsement to Sarah Saldaña for confirmation to "a position of profound importance to our country and particularly to Texas."
Seated at the witness table next to Saldaña, Cornyn called it vital for the next ICE director to lead the agency "with strength and with integrity." And that, he told Chairman Tom Carper, D-Del., is a description of the nominee.
"If respect for the rule of law is our standard… we would hard pressed to find a person more qualified to enforce the law than Ms. Saldaña," Cornyn said.
Cornyn did express qualms, though. President Obama has vowed to issue executive orders after the November midterm elections that could reshape the nation's immigration policies.
"She is tough, she is smart, she is fiercely independent." But Cornyn said, "I'm concerned that if she is confirmed her voice will be silenced or undermined" by executive orders he expects "will violate our Constitution and the laws of the land."
"We should be deeply concerned about the damage such unilateral actions would have to our already broken immigration system…. This gives the impression that we will not enforce our laws, which contributes to the magnet of illegal immigration," Cornyn said. "… I really do believe, and I realize how harsh this sounds, that the president's announced plans are an invitation to lawlessness."
The nominee's family is well represented. Her husband Don Templin sat behind her. Also on hand are a brother, Lupe Saldaña; a sister, Marisela Saldaña, a visiting state district judge in Corpus Christi; and a niece.
Carper called the nominee " a true American success story" rising from humble beginnings as one of seven children in South Texas to become a top lawyer in private practice and a top law enforcement officer. He too, called ICE "one of the most difficult positions in government."
Former Bush-era Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff also testified briefly, introducing a nominee for the department's undersecretary spot.
Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, the committee's senior Republican, said he would resist requiring the nomination to go before the Judiciary Committee — which shares some oversight of ICE — because that would delay confirmation for months and he would prefer to see Saldaña on the job as soon as possible.
original post
WASHINGTON — Dallas-based U.S. Attorney Sarah Saldaña — in line to become the nation's immigration enforcement chief — only had to wait 20 days for a confirmation hearing today.
That speed, despite ongoing rancor over immigration policy, suggests smooth sailing. So does the fact that Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Republican, signed up to introduce her to the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
The hearing is being webcast here starting at 9 am CT.
President Obama named Saldaña on Aug. 28 to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the 's biggest investigative agency after the FBI, with missions that include tracking down people living in the country illegally.
ICE has more than 20,000 employees and a budget that tops $5 billion. Last year, it conducted 368,644 removals, down somewhat from 2012.
Debate over which immigrants in the country illegally should be deported is a key reason the directorship is viewed as the most contentious position in the federal government. The job has been open for more than a year, partly due to tension between the White House and congressional Republicans.
Saldaña has been the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas for three years. Cornyn and then-Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, both Republicans, recommended her to Obama for that post. She's drawn headlines lately for leading the bribery prosecution of Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price.
She is Texas' first Latina U.S. attorney and would be the first Latina to run ICE. The director reports to the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Roth to design a maze based on his pics
Eli Roth will design a maze based on his "Hostel" pics for Universal Studios Hollywood's "Halloween Horror Nights" theme park franchise.
"Eli Roth's Hostel: Hunting Season" becomes the second attraction announced for the event, after U recently revealed "The Thing" maze, based on the studio's upcoming prequel to the John Carpenter thriller.
Event begins Sept. 23 and continues on select nights through Oct. 31.
"Hostel: Hunting Season" will feature sets recreating locations in Slovakia, reimagining the halls of Elite Hunting's torture factory, a secret society that kills young Americans for sport in exchange for large sums of money.
Project marks Roth's first turn transforming his films into a theme park experience.
"Creating a maze for 'Halloween Horror Nights' is a horror fan's dream come true," he said. "I've been visiting 'Halloween Horror Nights' for years, and still remember the heart-pounding terror of going through the mazes for the first time. … "People will have a chance to experience some exact moments from their favorite 'Hostel' scenes, along with some new surprises."
Roth will also serve as a judge in Universal Studios Hollywood's annual "Halloween Horror Nights" short film competition, which will culminate in a presentation to a winning filmmaker during the "Eyegore Awards" on the event's opening night, Sept. 23.
Roth recently produced "The Last Exorcism," and is in post-production on the "Clown" and "The Man With the Iron Fists."
Although both U's Hollywood and Orlando parks feature Horror Nights, they typically don't share the same mazes. But "The Thing" is one of Universal's higher-profile releases this fall, and the studio has been increasingly eyeing the Horror Nights franchise as a way to promote its thrillers that bow around Halloween.
"The Thing," directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr., bows Oct. 14. Park designers partnered with the film's producers, Strike Entertainment's Marc Abraham and Eric Newman, to replicate the sets, audio, musical score, creature and characters referenced in the new pic.

In the following video, Fool contributor Matt Thalman discusses three metrics specific to the hospitality industry that investors should watch when earnings reports have been announced: average daily rate, hotel occupancy, and revenue per available room.
Matt says to also consider comparing the three different metrics on a quarterly basis with past performance and against other hotel companies. Doing so will give you a better idea of how well a particular company is performing and help you decide whether your money belongs in the industry.

The precision-ground and molded styles are available in both flat-edge and full-radius face grooving geometries. The A4-S inserts are designed for face grooving on parts with diameters ranging from 0.630" to 2.284" (16 to 58 mm) and groove depths ranging from 0.47" to 0.75" (12 to 19 mm).
Three chipbreaker geometries are designed to provide increased tool life with more-consistent tool wear, faster material removal rates and improved chip control across a range of face grooving applications and work materials. GMN inserts provide a stable cutting edge, while GMP and GUP chipbreakers feature positive geometry for reduced cutting forces, the company says.
Inserts are coupled with a comprehensive portfolio of modular and system toolholders, including boring bars, for maximum versatility. KM or Capto tooling options provide stable toolholding when machining aerospace components; pump and engine parts; and general industrial components; among others.
