"People sometimes ask me what the biggest perk of being president is. No. 1 is the plane. "
Buzz Aldrin
These days, Buzz Aldrin zips around on a JetSuite Embraer Phenom 100 instead of a NASA spaceship. While he is helping JetSuite promote its regional light jet charter service, he also finds that VLJs offer a convenient way to travel to speaking engagements and for space research projects and vacations.
Aldrin has come a long way since 1969, when he set foot on the lunar surface just moments after Neil Armstrong. Sadly, however, the enormous risks of that mission and the subsequent Apollo moon flights did little to advance mankind's hoped-for steps to the stars, and this rankles Aldrin, who has devoted recent years to promoting more regular and human-centered space activities.
At age 82, the former astronaut has no shortage of ideas on what the U.S. could be doing now in space, including a concept for a shuttle service between Earth and Mars that would greatly shorten the travel time. He talked with us about this proposal when we met in his Southern California office, and also about his historic trip to the moon, his battles with depression and alcoholism and a scheme that could put someone into suborbital flight for $100.
You've seen technology in aviation change a lot, not just in space.
The last Phenom 100 I flew had a magnificent display of navigation, all the data you'd ever want. It would talk to you–told you everything to do, almost.
Are you amazed at how much power is in your iPhone compared with the computers in Apollo 11?
I don't want anyone to shortchange the program that allowed us to do the things as magnificently as we were able to. I like to emphasize that the autopilot on Apollo 11 was not as stable [as usual] in the final phases of touchdown. It left more up to the pilot, whereas on all the rest of the landings, if you just let go of the control stick, [the autopilot] would bring you to a stop.
Do you travel often on business jets?
Where it is appropriate I think it makes sense for me to use [JetSuite Phenom 100s] and to help promote their services. We also go to and from Sun Valley [via private jet]. Sometimes we ride with somebody.
In your book Magnificent Desolation, you wrote about battling alcoholism and depression. Was that a hard admission?
I really didn't think I had too much choice in the matter. I felt I needed to explain something in my own terms rather than have it filter out in the...press. And as a result of the treatment for depression, I became chairman of the National Mental Health Association.
Did talking about depression help other people?
I wasn't doing that for very long because I was in treatment for alcoholism, but I think 32 years of sobriety has given me a whole new life of opportunity, challenges and insight that I never would have had if I hadn't had to go through that recovery. I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
What was it like when you stepped onto the moon?
It was certainly a freedom of movement that was different, even with the spacesuit on. I [first] experienced that by training underwater–the first astronaut to do that–and then by having a quite successful series of spacewalks at the end of the two-man Gemini program that allowed us to confidently go ahead with Apollo.
What are your thoughts as we approach the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11?
Everything started from May 25, 1961, with Kennedy charting a course for the moon. After Yuri Gagarin flew one orbit, Alan Shepherd less than a month later just ran up and down. We hadn't even been in orbit and we said we're going to go to the moon before the end of the decade. And it organized us so well and inspired us.
I think [we need] a global doctrine that spells out our interests in outer space, specifically assisting other nations to do unified things–security, science, exploration, development and commercial. There's a very important follow-on speech that President Kennedy made on Sept. 12, 1962. That's when he said, "We choose to go to the moon [in this decade] and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard."
What is your idea for advancing human space flight?
I've been evolving ideas of what we should be doing for 10 years plus. I was encouraged to look at Mars in '84 and '85 and developed what is known as the Mars cycler. There are ways of getting people from Earth to Mars in relatively short times. The cycler itself can grow in size and since it doesn't make major maneuvers, it swings by with navigation corrections and can house the sustenance, the living conditions, the resistance to radiation [exposure] and artificial gravity for body conditioning. That might be cumbersome for transit devices that had to use fuel to start and stop.
Would this be a one-way trip?
The cycler is a settling spacecraft. We don't call the Pilgrims who came on the Mayflower people who left on a one-way trip from Europe. They didn't hang around Plymouth Rock. They settled. To call that a one-way trip is inappropriate.
Would you like to go?
No. The people who go will be settlers–colonists. They'll be committed to serving the rest of their life on Mars and they'll be trained and highly motivated to do that. They will be historical in the annals of human existence, being the first human creatures to begin settlement on another object.
You talk about commercial businesses moving us forward in the space arena. But so few entrepreneurial space companies have been started.
Not that many nations have been able to put things into Earth orbit. It takes a good bit of time and quite careful testing to get the reliability and the excellence into the rockets, and the trustworthiness to be able to put humans into the rockets.
Will suborbital passenger flights ever take off?
That's $200,000. Not that many people can afford that. Why don't we have a lottery? I think people who understand the freedom of flying understand the exhilaration, the adventure of being able to go into space. Many of them would enjoy an opportunity for a modest investment of, say, $100 [for a chance] to win a non-transferable prize that could include a suborbital flight.
Are you encouraged by Elon Musk's SpaceX?
It is a significant step to potentially reducing the cost and maybe the time to develop rockets. I think it's a little early to proclaim success.
So government will play a major role in future space activity?
If you want to keep building government-funded spacecraft to [enter] low Earth orbit, that's not advancing. NASA has become a jobs program, distributing jobs around the country to get political support. There is a generation of "what's in it for me right now?" Instead of "ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for the country."
We need some leadership...
It is always a question of leadership. The executive branch [needs] to identify the space policies that we want. And it's up to Congress to be more future-sighted. But Congress is fighting the terminating of programs that were too expensive and not going in the right direction.

Run the ball on that last drive. We were acting as though there were 3 minutes left in the game. We had the time to run and when we go all-passing, it's just easy to defend…even as good as we are in the passing game.

Defense exhausted. Totally out coached today. Tramon has not been that bad. No pressure. Kaepernick unbelievably accurate. Perhaps the best qb effort in playoffs in recent years.

Entire defense is gassed. Way too many 3 and outs. Stick a fork in the Packers, they are ready to be served. Piss poor effort.

Jungle Warfare
(Scenario Paintball Game)
Most missions will revolve around recovering caches of gold hidden around the playing field. Points will be accessed as dollar values. Some of the recovered items may not contain gold but clues, maps or numbers to a combination lock that would contain a bonus of gold bars at the crash site. The natives are allies to no one and have no interest in the gold, however they may have information that they would trade for supplies (paintballs, water, etc.). Each team will be given 10 parachute cards that would allow them to contact a referee and be allowed to go out of bounds and be inserted at any point on the boundary (one insertion per card). Gold can be turned in at the south end of the field for points. Gold not turned-in or on its way to being turned-in can be captured by the other side. No gold can be carried off the playing field. A player must drop his gold whenever he is marked. A large battle will be staged at the end of each session for a bonus stash of gold. Gold not deposited before the end of the game will not be counted even though it is in a teams possession.
Each player receives one reincarnation card to be used once during the day at the player discretion. The card would allow the player to remain in a skirmish and would be taken by a referee after its use.

Best Buy Looks to Crush Amazon with Price Match, Free Home Delivery This Holiday Season

(Source: allthingsd.com)
Only about 40 percent of Best Buy shoppers leave the store with a purchase in hand, but the retailer wants to bump this percentage up a bit this holiday season
Brick-and-mortar retailers have been battling with online stores for years, but
Best Buy
is looking to reclaim a place in shoppers' hearts (and wallets) this holiday season with online price matching and free home delivery.
Best Buy announced that it will match the prices of online competitors like Amazon in order to attract more customers. This is huge for Best Buy, considering it has
lost a significant amount of business
to Amazon alone. With e-tailers like Amazon, customers can shop from the comfort at home, receive lower prices and quick delivery.
But Best Buy isn't betting on price matching alone. It's heating up the competition with free home delivery of products that are out-of-stock as well.
Right now, only about 40 percent of Best Buy shoppers leave the store with a purchase in hand, but the retailer wants to bump this percentage up a bit this holiday season.
"We have a tremendous opportunity to increase that close rate," said Matthew Furman, Best Buy spokesman.
Best Buy isn't alone in its holiday efforts to beat Amazon.
is currently testing a same-day delivery service for customers that who buy popular items off of the Wal-Mart website during the holidays. Toys "R" Us is another brick-and-mortar that is working to speed up delivery and offer price matching -- however, its price matching will not include Amazon, only brick-and-mortar competitors.
An interesting aspect of the holiday season is that a growing number of shoppers have started using brick-and-mortars for showrooms -- or checking out products in person -- then going home to buy the products online.
While this is another hurdle that brick-and-mortars must overcome, strangely, they're embracing this model.
"Let's be the best showroom," said Mike Duke, Wal-Mart CEO. "Let's be the best place where customers want to go and get the experience."
According to the brick-and-mortar stores, they can still offer things that Amazon can't. For instance, human customer service and options for purchase like online
brick-and-mortar stores. They added that Amazon now
must collect sales tax
in many U.S. states, so prices are not quite as low on the site as before.
To further hinder Amazon's sales, Wal-Mart and Target have
stopped selling the e-tailer's Kindle Fire tablet
The Wall Street Journal
"There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere." -- Isaac Asimov

Stop just dreaming about a thru-hike; make it real! Our online Thru-Hiking 101 class covers everything you need to plan and finish the long-distance hike of your dreams. Start it instantly, complete it at your own pace, access it forever. Sign up now!
"Umm, hey buddy, you okay?"
It's 4:30 a.m., a time of day that puts us in the questionable company of cat burglars and alpinists. Our headlamps probe the inky, moonless black of Yosemite Valley. We're taking our very first steps on the 221-mile John Muir Trail. And my friend Mark Fenton is staggering violently, like a frat boy on a weekend bender.
"No problem, just a little vertigo I get hiking in the dark. I'll be fine." He lurches near the edge of the trail–which drops off into the dark roar of the Merced River far below.
That's when we dub him Stumbles. It was funny, at the time, because everything is funny and fun and easy when you're motoring effortlessly uphill at the outset of a long hike and your pack only clocks in at about six pounds. Besides, we're in Yosemite, a place crazy with distractions: In the faint first light, we stride beneath the ghostly shimmer of 600-foot Nevada Falls. Deer bound away silently in the chill air of dawn. Stars twinkle. Mountain winds whisper. At mid-morning, from ledges at 9,000 feet, we go slack-jawed at a shark's grin of peaks: Tenaya, Cathedral, Matthes Crest. The breathtaking thing is, we're lording over just a small taste of what's to come on the JMT: almost-constant alpine vistas of snow-slathered mountains and jagged granite spires. Passes at 12,000 and even 13,000 feet. And a constellation of lakes reflecting it all upside down.
We've all dreamed of hiking this trail, but we're also out here testing a theory: that, by going ultralight, we can collapse a three-plus-week trip into seven days of vacation. We're taking what Ray Jardine preached in The Pacific Crest Trail Hiker's Handbook back in the 1990's–a then-controversial gospel that called for traveling 30 miles a day with a base pack weight of less than 10 pounds–to a questionably logical extreme. Back when I used to carry 50-pound loads on a regular basis, I could barely hike 10 miles a day. When I trimmed things down to 40 pounds, then 30, then even less, hikes of 15 or 20 miles felt close to effortless.
Which, inevitably, started me thinking about long trails. I soon learned that fit hikers going überlight were sailing "America's most beautiful trail," as the JMT is often called, in just 10 days. A Muir Trail veteran told me that "30- to 40-mile days are totally doable." Unfortunately, where another hiker might think that pounding out 31 miles a day for a solid week sounds just slightly over the top, I'm like Evel Knievel contemplating the Grand Canyon: My altered brain chemistry rationalizes, "How hard could that be?"

Rated 5 out of 5�by DI PERFECT QUALITY EXCELLENT, BEAUTIFUL COLORS, QUALITY A PLUS, SIZE SEEMS TRUE August 24, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by QueenBee Great Vest It's comfortable, durable and my favorite color. Like the reviews say though, runs a little small so I ended up getting a medium instead of a small. We haven't gotten to test it out in the water yet though. We bought it on the end of the summer clearance, plus got an extra $20 off of the two we bought making it $40. The original price was $100 which seems pricey for any vest to me, but $40 was a great deal. August 12, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by 007 great jacket I love this vest..It is great for tubing and general Life Jacket needs.If your looking for an extremely durable jacket for water skiing, I'd probably not choose this vest as you'd be trading durability for comfort.This vest is not flimsy but it is not made for thrill seekers.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Jackson325 I recommend this life vest 100% I ordered on a Tuesday morning and it arrived on Wednesday afternoon. AMAZING! I mmediately tried mine on and it fits very well. I'm 5'7" and 180# and the large fit snugly (like a life vest should) and is well fitted and tailored. Seems like a great quality vest. I was able to purchase this vest and one for my boyfriend at 50% off, free shipping and $20.00 off an order of $100 or more. Needless to say, I'm happy with the price, quality and overall look of this vest. I highly recommend this product! July 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Andrea Great Product! The life jacket is great! It doesn't ride up and dries well. It has not taken on any lake or mildew odor so far and we've been using them several times over the last couple weeks...fingers crossed! The two separate straps are nice since you can make the bottom one a little tighter so they don't ride up. The zipper and track seem to be heavier so we haven't had any problems with that either. One of ours ended up with sand lodged into the track as well as down into the actual zipper part after falling down a bank, but we rinsed it in the lake and nothing seemed affected at all. We ended up purchasing this one to use for tubing, boating, and kayaking. It seems to work pretty well for all three. July 20, 2015

Faculty in the Environmental Science department are engaged in a number of research activities that involve undergraduate students who are frequently hired through work studies opportunities, exception funding and internship programs. Faculty research is also an integral component of the various classroom and field experiential activities.
Cheryl Swift is an ecologist who focuses on Mediterranean ecosystems, and has branched out to study coastal wetlands. She has involved students in her research in South Africa and Southern California.
Cinzia Fissore's research focuses on soil carbon cycling and stabilization processes in forest and grassland ecosystems and their responses to climate change. She is also interested in investigating biogeochemical cycles in urban ecosystems.
Sal Johnston's work focuses on sustainable food systems, environmental justice and land politics. sal is currently working on a book Growing Change: Urban Agriculture in Los Angeles. sal also partners with Grow Good, a non-profit urban farm and LA Neighborhood Land Trust.
Robert B. Marks is an environmental historian who does most of his teaching and research both on China and on the early modern world. His most recent book is China: Its Environment and History, and he is currently writing an environmental history of the early modern world.
David Mbora is an ecologist, and conservation biologist, interested in understanding how the preeminent threats to biodiversity, habitat loss and fragmentation, impact animal populations. He involves undergraduate students in all his research projects, including fieldwork in Kenya and laboratory analyses at Whittier College. He teaches courses in conservation biology, ecology and evolution, and environmental science.
Natale Zappia specializes in colonial/revolutionary North America with an emphasis on the early modern borderlands of the Atlantic World, Pacific Rim, and Native America. His research and teaching also explores the ways that continental trading networks, food pathways, and ecologies transformed North America over the past three centuries. His research on long-term environmental change intersects with his interest in modern food systems and community-based movements that are fighting to gain access to healthy environments in rural and urban areas.
All of our faculty involve students in various aspects of their research. For example, select students support faculty members with their professional academic investigations. At other times, it is the faculty which assists the efforts of students in pursuing groundbreaking new research. As a result of these experiences, and with confidence in their own abilities, Whittier students regularly go on to participate in conferences (such as the Southern California Conference on Undergraduate Research) and other academic conclaves across the nation.
Students further interact with faculty members in programs that are part of the College's Centers of Distinction and take place at Garrett and Hartley Faculty Masters' Houses, on-campus residences where professors live for a multi-year term and coordinate and host an array of educational and social activities.
While students at large universities struggle merely to gain face-time with professors, here at Whittier, students interact with the faculty personally and on a daily basis.

Life Among the Pokomo: Conservation Research Brings Amber Orozco `13 to Kenya's Tana River Forest
There I was, lying in my tent, when all of a sudden I hear these series of very loud grunts. It was not like the other night, when I heard a lion's roar from the other side of the river. Nor did it sound like a hippopotamus, whose grumbles were often compared to the contagious laughs of Tim Allen and would often, wake me up at the break of dawn. No, these sounds were very different and sounded very similar to trumpets. My curious thoughts would stay with me until I fell asleep. As I learned late that next morning, those sounds were in fact from a group of elephants.
From the sounds of it, I definitely wasn't in my old Wanberg room anymore back at Whittier. Read more

Don't forget to check out the Tackle Warehouse Exclusive Colors - Old School & Bone.
The Black Dog Injection Molded Lunker Punker is just like the original Punker, but made from plastic, rather than wood. This allows the Injection Molded Punker to have a rattle chamber, creating even more noise and commotion than the original, along with offering new color possibilities due to the translucent nature of the plastic.

Comments: Saw videos on punkers thought bait looked cool bought bluegill and okie in 5" not thinking I was going to catch much on it went to 5 acre pond casted 15 20 times caught 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 at 1:00 in afternoon have a little confidence in bait now!
From: Chad: AL 5/5/15
Comments: I love the lunker punker. I use this bait so much in the delta it's the best. I love that it catches large mouth bass and strippers. I purchased a 6 inch one but got stolen. So I just bought 2 more that's how much I love these things. Well worth the money if u fish the delta I strongly recommend this
From: Denny: Lodi, CA 1/8/15
Comments: Not enough can be said about this bait. I love topwaters and walkers specifically, but this outdoes every other walker I've ever used. I love throwing big baits, I fish 6 and 8" punkers, 6 and 8" hudds, 7 and 8" s wavers, smaller fish will still hit these and they're just plain fun to throw. My favorite things about this walker are just the size and the way fish react to it especially on a slow but steady retrieve with wide glides, no other walkers I know of have such a wide glide and it gets DESTROYED. You have to fish one to be hooked!
From: NBM: NE 12/3/14
Comments: I felt like some of the others when i received the 5" inch punker because it was hard to walk. The 5" does walk well but it takes some practice. Use a longer rod with a soft tip and throw it on braid. Trimming or completely removing the feathers makes it easier to walk also. It takes a strong twitch and then you have to give the bait slack for it to glide side to side.
From: Unknown: USA 3/16/14
Comments: Wood or injection molded the Punker flat out gets bit. Ive caught stripers, largies and even smallmouth on this lure. For the folks that don't like it or cant get it to walk send'em to me and I'll be happy to show ya how it's done!
From: Nick: PHill Ca
Comments: mine produced a ten pound bass and 18-20 pound snook. What else is there to say. Great bait and very under rated.
From: FL
Comments: bought a 8" bait to go along with some 6" I already have walks and glides with ease with a dobyns 806 mlsb
Comments: There are no trout in the reservoir I fish yet I kill monster bass on my 5" Flash Trout.. go figure.. but thankful. Even caught a lil 11" bass who obviously thought he was a much bigger boy!
From: Eins: NY, NY, USA
Comments: I received my 6" today and I can walk it no problem it glides on each jerk a couple of feet in each direction. If you can walk this bait it OE. I use a okuma guide select 7'6 MH.
Comments: Love this bait!! I have 2 5" and 1 6". Big bass and snakeheads tear these up on the Potomac.
From: Drew: Stafford VA
Comments: To everyone saying the 5"doesnt walk well, thats a user error. I have two 5" and two 6" and they all walk amazing for me, try using a longer rod, i use a Dobyns 765 champ. Really fun bait to fish.
From: Terry: NC
Comments: Great lure, once you get the hang of them they perform well. Smallest bass I've seen hit the 6 in model has been about 2lbs down here
From: Zach: Del Rio, TX
Comments: worst lure ever! Bought both 5 and 6 inch and can not walk the dog at all! Tried it on mono and braid didn't make a difference. Used my 7ft Med heavy St. Criox legend nothing. Threw it on my 711 Med shimano cumara nothing. Save the money. Trust me!
From: Eric: Tulsa, OK
Comments: Have the 5'' in Pearl. It may be hard to walk with a swimbait rod, but I threw it on a big jig rod and it walked with ease. Love the bait and will be buying the 6 and 8'' soon.
From: Will: GA
Comments: +1 on the 5" G2 for being a horrible walk the dog bait. The way this lure sets in the water (flat)campare to my other wooden punker (tilted @ 30-40 degree) explain why its so hard to walk and poor action.
From: bvang: Fresno, CA
Comments: The 5" version is really hard to get to walk, not impressed at all. The 6 inch version walks well....not as good as an 8in wooden, but good enough.
From: Mike: SoCal
Comments: the 5 inch G2 has awful action. I was really excited about it since the larger ones have great action. I tried it on mono and braid. I would go bigger than 5 inch, or go with a jackal bowstick
From: Mike: SoCal
Comments: Nice baits but i wish Tacklewarehouse would carry the 10inch baits, cause these 5-6inchers are just too small
From: Kevin: SoCal
Comments: I took this out to a local creek/pond where some 4-6 pounders have been seen got one strike no hook set first dasy. However, I have problems with making it walk I fish a lot of zara spooks so I am hoping its just my rod biut idk only practice will tell.
From: Kris: Sacramento
Comments: Just Sweet bait, love the paint and action of the bait, but disapointed in the hooks...They are super sharp but very small for a bait this size.
From: Robert: Davenport, IA
Comments: This bait flat out catches fish!!! First time out caught an 11lb and 8lb striper on flash trout 6in. Only problem with it is the hooks. Need to be replaced with some owner stingers cuz that 11 ponda destroyed em hooks. But other than that, its amazing!!!! P.S. Dont believe the people that say only the wooden ones catch fish.
From: Josh: DVL, California
Comments: The sickest "walk the dog" bait out there.... black bass and strippers can't get enough of it!
From: Parker: Stockton, CA

Kilimanjaro Marathon 2014 – Giving to Molly's Network
How to make your Kili Marathon experience even more worthwhile!
If you'd like to make all that training even more worthwhile and rewarding, here's how you can raise funds for Molly's Network that will help transform lives, lifting people out of poverty, for good.
Click on this link to set up your own personal fundraising page on the JustGiving website.
Once you've set up your JustGiving page, just cut and paste your unique web address and email it to as many potential supporters you can think of – family, friends, colleagues, employers – or share it through the different social media buttons at the top of your JustGiving page.
Your supporters will be able to donate securely with a credit / debit card wherever they are in the world, taking hassles out of collecting sponsorship – and ensuring we can track and account for every dollar. You will be able to keep track of how much you've raised individually as you go along – as well as how we're doing overall.
Congratulations if you have registered for the Kilimanjaro Marathon!
There's no doubt it will be a great day you'll remember probably for the rest of your life. And for many people, the incredible sense of physical achievement can be multiplied many times over by knowing that the experience has also raised desperately needed funds to help people in need.
That's why this year, the Kilimanjaro Marathon has teamed up with Molly's Network - in an official partnership that gives you the chance to run for charity and raise money for good causes in Tanzania.
Molly's Network has established Tanzania's first charity accreditation scheme, with members working in tough situations on the ground and addressing needs as diverse as vulnerable children, health, environment, water, sanitation and affordable energy.
All funds channelled to projects through Molly's Network can be given in the confidence that members have been properly vetted, are accountable and transparent.
Every dollar raised will make a difference, not only through grants to member organisations - all of them dynamic small charities doing fantastic work in Tanzania - but also by helping Molly's Network to expand its support for existing and potential new members in the coming months. And you can be sure that Molly's Network will monitor and report back to you on the impact your funds have made.
Last year Paul and Cat Joynson-Hicks used the Kili Marathon to raise $8,700 for Molly's Network providing invaluable support for the Tanzania Breast Cancer Foundation, as well as enabling Molly's Network to develop and grow. This year they will be doing it again, but with a fundraising target of $16,000!
Why not join them? See you on the start line!

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.09 kgShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

What to do if you want to analyze regulated foreign or domestic soil at the APS.
Soil from foreign sources and certain locations in the United States are regulated in their movement into and about the country. A permit from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is required to receive these soils unless they are sterilized. More complete information about the regulation of soil can be found on the USDA Soil Permit web page. More general information is available on the USDA APHIS website. Please contact Bruce Glagola well in advance of your experiment start date to arrange for use of regulated soil samples.
A few important concepts from the USDA Circular Q-330.300-2, Soil (01/2001) are:
1. Why is soil regulated?
Soil can contain numerous diseases and pests such as: animal and plant viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, noxious weeds, and the life stages of destructive insects. In addition, adequate screening soil for the spectrum of organisms which might be harmful is not possible. Therefore, soil from all foreign countries and from US Territories and some states of the U.S. can move only if specific conditions and safeguards prescribed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) are met. 7 CFR 330.300, 318.60, and the Plant Protection Act of 2000 as the authority lists the federal regulations for these conditions and safeguards. APHIS regulations protect U.S. agriculture from the introduction of destructive plant and animal diseases and pests."
2. What is soil?
Soil is the loose surface material of the earth in which plants grow in most cases consisting of disintegrated rock with mixture of organic material. This mixture can support biological activity and therefore carry and introduce harmful pests or diseases. Examples of soil are: topsoil, forest litter, wood or plant compost, humus, and earthworm castings."
3. What is not soil?
Materials free of organic matter, such as: pure sand, clay, talc, rocks, volcanic pumice, chalk, salt, diatomaceous earth, iron ore and gravel. These materials must be mined or collected so they are free of organic material, such as roots, grasses, or leaf litter.
Fertilizers that contain minerals, bone meal, and crushed grain are not soil. However grains in the mix may be regulated if they lack processing that prevents sprouting. Authorities for regulating imported grains are — corn relatives (CFR 319.24 & 41), rice relatives (CFR 319.55) and wheat relatives (CFR 319.59).
What has or may have organic matter in it and may be considered soil, but PPQ has determined is exempt from USDA soil regulations?
The following items are exempt:
- Peat, cosmetic mud, and other mud products from fresh water or the earth's upper surface, if processed to a uniform consistency, and free of plant parts or seeds.
- Volcanic rock, pumice, geological samples, drilling cores, or mud, if mined so it is free of organic material.
- Any sediment, muds, or rock from the saltwater oceans of the earth.
NOTE: All shipments may be inspected at a U.S. port to identify the material and verify it is free of pests and prohibited contaminants. A shipment may be refused entry or require treatment based upon inspection findings."
4. What U.S. soils are regulated:
In general, soils from the southeast United States are regulated for movement. Soil from some other locations are also regulated. See the map provided by APHIS for locations of regulated domestic soil (US Soil Map). For details of other areas that may be regulated please consult the APHIS website listed above.
Does the APS have a permit to receive regulated foreign and domestic soil samples?
Yes, the APS has received a USDA permit to receive and manage regulated soil samples. The permit is #S-64308.
What if I need help deciding if my samples are regulated soil?
If you are having difficulty deciding if your samples are "soil" or if they are regulated please contact Bruce Glagola (630/252-9797, firstname.lastname@example.com).
What do I have to do to ship a regulated soil sample to the APS?
Contact the APS to arrange for the shipment. The following criteria must be met for soil sample shipments that are subject to the USDA soil permit regulations:
- All shipments of regulated soil must be less than three (3) pounds in total weight.
- The soil must be double bagged and packaged in sturdy, leak-proof containers.
- The shipment must be accompanied with a current copy of the APS soil permit. Place the permit inside the package. A copy of the current APS Soil Import Permit can be downloaded here. This is a new permit issued in January 2009. The old permit can no longer be used.
- The package must be labeled using USDA PPQ Form 550 (Apr 2008). Labels can be obtained by contacting Patti Pedergnana or Bruce Glagola. NOTE: Please contact us enough in advance to mail the labels to you. The USDA requires an original of the label.
- The package must be shipped by bonded carrier (such as FedEx) from the port of arrival to the following address:
Patti Pedergnana
Bldg 431Z020
Argonne National Laboratory
9700 S. Cass Ave.
Argonne, IL 60439
United States
What will happen to my soil sample when it arrives at the APS?
All regulated soil samples will be stored in a locked cabinet in Room 431Z020 until needed at the beamline. All samples are entered into a logbook with the following information:
- Date of sample arrival at the APS
- Beamline where sample will be used
- Weight of the sample
- General composition of the sample
- Origin of each incoming soil sample
- User responsible for the sample
- Date and location of sample transfer for analysis
- Final disposition of the sample after the experiment.
Contact the Floor Coordinators Patti Pedergnana, Shane Flood, or Wendy VanWingeren to have your sample delivered to the beamline and for training on how the sample must be handled while at the APS.
When the soil sample is not being analyzed it must be secured (when unattended) at the beamline and the area posted for regulated soil samples. Secured is defined as in a locked location (i.e. a lockable drawer or safe). If the sample is left unattended while in the Experiment Station, the station doors must be secured with a chain and lock. Please contact the Floor Coordinator on duty for assistance.
How do I get my soil sample returned to my home institution after the experiment?
Regulated soil samples may only be received by someone that has a USDA permit. In order to ship a regulated soil sample out from the APS you must present a copy of the receiving institutions soil permit for inclusion in the package. The APS will also have to obtain written permission from an appropriate USDA PPQ Office to send the shipment.
How can I treat my sample so it may ship as unregulated soil?
In order to convert a soil sample from regulated to unregulated it must be heat treated according to USDA guidelines. Heat treating temperatures and times accepted by the USDA are listed in the APS Protocols for Handling, Storage, and Disposal of regulated soil.
Can I dispose of my soil samples when the experiment is finished?
Instead of shipping a sample out from the APS it may be disposed of at the APS by having the soil sample heat treated according to USDA guidelines. Arrangements for disposal must be made with Patti Pedergnana, Ray Monroe, Wendy VanWingeren, or Bruce Glagola before you leave the APS.
How do I treat laboratory equipment that comes in contact with the regulated soil sample?
Any piece of laboratory equipment that comes in contact with an untreated (i.e unsterilized) regulated soil sample must be washed with a 70% alcohol solution. This may be done in the LOM laboratory where sample preparation is being conducted.

quote toetanchamThat reminds me of something I like to do with the hookers. I get and park the passenger side of the car at the end of a cliff that leads to water so when the hooker gets out she falls into the water then drowns.lol i join to (if possible )
first get a hooker in your car and drive to the nearest train-rail. when the train is about 400 meters from you, get out quickly and the hooker awaits her dead xD (1 time when i did that, the hooker had no head, arms and chest anymore really strange) also possible whit recruited persons

Marlon,It looks like lunchtime in a leopard colony, right there it does! I have only seen leopard spots that numerous on old episodes of "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom", with your namesake Marlon(sic) Perkins.Once again with the "background bread"!!! You're killing me!!! And where are you that you have access to these great flours? You are a lucky (and highly skilled) pizzaiolo.Much respect!John K
Thanks, John! The background bread was for you actually. I exposed the crumb to see if you will notice it. I am in Orange County, CA and I met these guys at the Pizza Expo. I asked them where I could buy and they just referred me to their distributor in LA. Marlon
What kind of oven do you have? Pics of oven? Thank you, Chad
marlon, awesome as usual. was that the flour guy that was doing 24 hour room dough that was very soft and thick.if so his pies were delicious.
Thanks, guys! f.montoya, thanks! I am practicing for my son's bday party in about 3 weeks where I expect to have about 60-70 guests. You know that even with 2 pies, it is still quite stressful especially with the fast bakes that we are aiming for but we can't get what we want in a pizza any other way. I only do 2 if I have more than 20 guests so I can keep up with them. Most of the time, I prefer to do 1 pizza only.
Bakeshack, beautiful pizzas the crumb shots are beautiful as well. I was wondering if the pizza expo was in Orange County, I would like to attend sometime.Vince.
2. Half-bake about a dozen pies and leave to cool on metal mesh, or anywhere that you can allow air to flow across the pie bottoms. For a pre-bake, I actually calculate about 1/3 pie per guest so if I'm expecting 20 people to show up at the same time, I half-bake around 6 or 7 pies before the party.
It's just for the kids. They don't know the difference, nor do they care.
Beautiful looking pies!
... I'm trying to decide how much of this strategy I can use for the farmers market I'll be at.
Even if not much, I know that my own parties and some catering gigs may be perfect with this strategy...
How long do you prebake a pie for? And how do you store/stack the prebakes, especially if they have cheese on them?
Hey Marlon, I've got a party the day after tomorrow for 24 guests and a party next weekend(May 12th) for another 27. I had two parties in April as well. The first one was 50 guests and the second was a just a small gathering of 20. Here's some advice to help you keep up...1. Prep everything, including your oven, so that you are ready to bake at least 45 minutes prior to the first guests arrival time.2. Half-bake about a dozen pies and leave to cool on metal mesh, or anywhere that you can allow air to flow across the pie bottoms. For a pre-bake, I actually calculate about 1/3 pie per guest so if I'm expecting 20 people to show up at the same time, I half-bake around 6 or 7 pies before the party.3. As the first guests begin to arrive, start finishing off your pre-baked pies. This should be around 25 to 35 seconds each, which in a WFO should sufficiently finish off the bake. Ideally, if you've trained an apprentice in the art of using the turning peel, this would free you up to start making more fresh pies.4. Since the main attraction at my 50-guest party was the pizza, and not any particular activity, we separated the guest list into 3 groups of about 16 people and had them arrive at three separate times, 11:30a, 12:00p and 12:30p. With the rest of the parties activities at 1:00pm, This enabled me to keep up with the baking for smaller numbers of people, rather than having a huge line of 50 people waiting just to get a slice at my pace of two pies at a time. Luckily, I had a trained apprentice to help with the baking, so everything went quite well.5. If you have yet another person to help you, let them take care of cutting and serving pies and bringing back serving plates. 6. Buffet style = No waste. I keep about 4 plates on a table and as the pies are devoured, I replenish with fresh pies. When I see there are still several slices left, and no one is grabbing at them any more, I stop making pies and relax with a nice glass of red wine or an ice cold Asahi Super Dry. I think parties where guests get their own pies are harder to deal with and you'll inevitably get kids who leave some on their plates, that no one eats or gets dropped on the floor. And you'll get adults who try to eat just one more, only to find out their belly has no more space.Also, I know some people have pizza parties where they let the guests try their hand at pizza making, but IMO that simply slows everything down to a crawl and isn't as fun as it may first sound. In fact, I don't let anyone touch my stuff until everyone is full and ONLY if I have leftover dough and have the energy to show a friend a thing or two. Instead, a couple of months ago, I ordered two "Throw Dough's", that I let my guests have fun with. They always take pics of themselves tossing it and it makes for a fun activity at a pizza party.Anyway, I wish you luck with your party! I'd love to see some pics of you in action!
...And I just ordered two of those throw doughs. Not sure exactly what type of contest we'll have, but I always like to get the staff into teams and compete for "days off", gift cards, etc.Wish me/us luck!I hope this rainy weather lets up!John K

Kari's Kave: The End ... or just the beginning!
So much work goes into writing a book. Coming up with a great idea, having enough twists and turns to carry the book the whole way through, finding a fabulous conclusion that will leave the reader satisfied and wanting more....
It's not easy!
I always say I'm going to make a schedule and stick to it. I really need to start doing that for my own sanity. But for some reason, I always end up procrastinating. I seem to do my best work under pressure. I don't know why that is. It's the same with dieting. I can never seem to stick to anything without some kind of deadline. Like an upcoming wedding or trip or (ahem....conference!)
So today and tomorrow I will be polishing my book three like a mad woman so I can meet my deadline of the end of the day on March 1st! That's Thursday of this week, people! And then I will be starting my diet and exercise and, yes, a new schedule on Friday.
Friday is 8 weeks until Malice! Let the countdown begin!
Eeeek. I am so excited. Thank God I have Liz and her CP Joni and fellow Berkley author Rochelle there. I haven't been to a conference without my own CP Barbara Witek since the VERY beginning so many years ago. She MAKES the conference for me. I have so much fun with her, it won't be the same :-( But, I understand. Her son's confirmation falls on the same weekend.
At the same time, this is a great opportunity for me to step out of my comfort zone and meet some new people. As outgoing as I am, I am shy when I first meet people. I like my comfy peeps with me. Once I get to know someone, I come out of my shell. But to meet them initially is scary.
I am looking forward to meeting my fellow Killer Character bloggers. That will be really cool. And I get to be on a panel with the 4 other Agatha nominees for Best First Novel, which will be scary but also cool! At least I'm not alone up there and only have to answer questions for like 8 to 10 minutes and then sign books after. The scariest part for me will be the new mystery authors breakfast. There are 24 of us and we each get our own table with 10 seats at it. The fans come in and choose which table they want to sit at and eat breakfast with that author.
Eeeek....what if no one sits at my table?
Hoping someone likes our books is terrifying enough, but being the last one picked to be on their team (or to sit with at breakfast :-) is even more terrifying. Even more reason to get in shape and look my best! Gulp!!
I just keep chanting, "It's not the end (of the world if people don't like you), it's just the beginning (of everything!)" I CAN do this, I WILL do this!
Now back to my Kave, and back to your regularly scheduled program...Karitown out :-)

Okay, people, what's on your agenda for today?

Holy cow! Who would have thought you'd be nervous about people sitting at your table. I think that is where I am the most comfortable. It's being on the panels that scares the hell out of me.
Yay on finishing the manuscript. Polish that sucker up and hit SEND.
Any yes, Joni and I will take good care of you at Malice. We may not be as much fun as Barbie, but we can do shooters well. And we have a lot to celebrate!
- February 29, 2012 at 6:56 AM
- Kari Lee Townsend said...
LOL, you and Joni are just as much fun as Barbie, and we'll do shooters in her honor :-)
And I'm more nervous about people NOT sitting at my table.
I AM getting excited about going, though. And I can't wait to see Joni again. It's been a while.

Don't forget your box off ass wine. :) The first time I met you I was charmed. You will do the same at this conference. Huge congrats over finishing the book! How you can edit in a that amount of time is beyond me. Good luck.

You shy??? But I do know what you mean. It's awkward meeting a group at first. You'll be fine and you'll have a blast. Have fun and congrats on being on the Agatha nominees for best first novel. That's amazing. And I hope you got the third book looking good!
- March 1, 2012 at 4:23 AM
- Kari Lee Townsend said...
LOL thanks Tiffinie :-) I will NEVER forget that box of ass wine. I don't think I've laughed that hard ever!
And YAY I pulled it off and met my deadline at 4pm yesterday. It's not pretty going through that, but I seem to pull off some of my best work that way.
And I edit a lot as I go along. A lot of reflecting on what I have and where I'm going and adding things in as I go along. So in the end, I usually don't have much to edit at all. Thank God!
And Anita...believe it or not, I am shy at times. It doesn't last long and I am getting better, but I am never good on my own. I usually have my peeps with me (my comfort zone)

New Games — What Products Are On The Way??
by thedayofgames on Mar.21, 2011, under Day of Games General, Products, tailgating
The Day of Games has pretty much covered the games that people play while Tailgating. What next? The next logical step is to move into the game room and try and get some new products that are affordable for everyone, fun to play, and familiar to all. Here are some of our favorites that we are thinking about selling:
Shuffleboard tables
Backgammon sets
Foosball tables
Pool tables
We think we've covered most of the Game Room Games that you want inside your Man Cave. Anything missing? What's the best game you've ever played in a Game Room? What's in your ManCave?
These next generation of products are all for indoor play. But we haven't forgotten about the outdoors! As for new products to be played outside… we are thinking about:
Paddleball Sets
& some new games that we are inventing!
Stay tuned!

Let's get this out of the way first, V7.1 TR
I am having trouble creating a specific view. The error is CPF6968
Journal entry cannot be associated with file WBOODV100.
I can execute the SELECT statement by itself, but when I add
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW to the front of it, I get the error.
Here is the SQL:
create or replace view wboodv100 as
openorders as
( select current_date as asofdate
, left(dcstkl,3) as dcplnt
, dcobal
from ocrh
where dcstat <> 'C'
select asofdate, dcplnt, sum(dcobal) as dcobal
from openorders
group by asofdate, dcplnt
Now I have seen this error before with other views, and if I DROP
the view before running the CREATE, the error goes away, and I am
able to create the view successfully.
The difference here is that the view does not exist. It is normally
an intermittent problem that I can get around. This time I can't
seem to find the magic formula. I can and have created other views in
the same library. This happens within Squirrel, System i Navigator,
and on Green Screen SQL.
Squirrel reports:
Error: [SQL0901] SQL system error.
SQLState: 58004
ErrorCode: -901.
I believe it is the same error.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

This year I have a fun new wall hanging to add to my Valentine's decor – my Love Notes quilt created for the Moda Sweet Celebrationsbook.
Sweet Celebrationsis full of projects for ideas throughout the year. I have a handful of copies of Sweet Celebrations left in my shop. They are on sale for 30% off for the rest of the week
and will probably go fast. There is only one left.
I designed this quilt with my own family in mind – creating pockets where valentines or other love notes can be shared. The fabric is from Aneela Hoey's Walk in the Woods collection. Perfect colors with out being over the top valentines-y.
Some other favorite Valentine projects: A quick – and coordinating – project is this simple Heart throw-pillow. You can find the tutorial here.
This is a tutorial for a quick and simple scrappy 9-patch mini-quilt that I made last year. It would be an easy way to use up red, pink and white scraps for a fast project.
Finally, the Heart Quilt block tutorial I shared this past October. Now it's finally seasonal!

Although many analysts believe that tablets have all chances to compete directly against netbooks when it comes to content consumption, Intel Corp. still does not see tablets as a threat for netbooks. By contrast, the company believes that tablets will compliment netbooks and is also confident that Atom chips will be able to easily serve the emerging market.
"I have not changed my view on tablets in the last three or four months since the launch of the iPad. I think they are an additive category to the market, much like we saw netbooks being additive. […] At Computex last month, there were over 30 varieties of tablets shown based upon Atom configurations. The advantage of Intel in this segment is you can run a number of operating systems: Windows, Android, Chrome, you can run MeeGo or the other versions of Linux," said Stacy Smith, chief financial officer of Intel, during the most recent conference call with financial analysts.
The market of slate PCs is only emerging, but chip companies should already present their system-on-chip (SoC) offerings to system makers. For example, Nvidia Corp. and Qualcomm Corp. have already unveiled advanced chipsets for tablets. At present Intel only has Atom Z600-series SoCs (code-named Moorestown) that cannot run Windows. Atom central processing units can work with Microsoft Corp.'s operating systems, but they consume too much energy for many sleek tablets. A low-power SoC from Intel that will be compatible with Windows will only emerge in 2011.
Both Intel and Microsoft believe that there will be different types of slates. One of the types will be based on ARM microprocessors and will run a special operating system like Android; besides, there will be types of slates with increased performance, Windows and x86-based system-on-chips from AMD or Intel.

New York Power Authority Reopens Lower Parking Lots And Makes Progress On Reopening Of Roadway
Connie Cullen
March 18, 2011
LEWISTON—In an effort to keep the public informed, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) today announced a partial reopening of the South Access Hill Road at its Niagara Power Project which will allow access to the facility's two lower parking lots—one used by the public and the other for NYPA employees. One lane to both parking lots, which are located at the base of the Niagara project's Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant, will be open with provisions made for traffic to flow in both directions on an alternating basis.
During the day, traffic will be controlled by flag-persons and traffic delays of 5 to 10 minutes will be common. Before and after daytime working hours, approximately 8am to 5pm, a temporary traffic signal will direct cars so traffic can travel in both directions alternatively. Vehicular traffic by the public and NYPA employees will be allowed but there will be no pedestrian traffic.
The road was closed to all traffic as a safety precaution during engineering inspections and initial repairs to protective fencing adjacent to the road. Now that the repairs are fully underway and appropriate safety provisions are in place, one lane was reopened to traffic today. The fencing, as designed, was damaged as it contained several rocks which fell towards the road last week.
As there will be continuing construction activity for several more days while repairs are completed, the temporary traffic pattern and prohibition on pedestrian traffic will remain in place until further public notice.
While the lower public parking lot at the base of the road is open, the fishing pier at that location will not open until April 1.
The cooperation of the public is requested in obeying the temporary traffic pattern. NYPA's major concern in undertaking this action is for the safety and protection of the public and NYPA employees. Notification of the reopening of the entire road will be issued to the public.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

Motor Vehicle Crash & Outcomes
With funds provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Bureau of Health hacdd has linked statewide motor vehicle crash records to Patient Abstract System (PAS) files of hospital inpatient and emergency room visit records. The 1996 motor vehicle crash file was linked to the 1996 Emergency Medical System (EMS) ambulance trip file and the (PAS) file. Since then, motor vehicle crash files have been linked to the PAS files but not EMS. In 2003, mortality data were added to the linkage.
The purpose for linking these files is to be able to relate motor vehicle crash characteristics (such as seat belt use) to the severity, type, likelihood and costs of injuries. Identifying an individual's record in each of the above files makes this type of research possible. Because persons and events are not coded perfectly on the individual files, identifying a person's records across files and linking them together into one file is very difficult. To link the data, special software provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was used. This software links records based on the probability that records with similar values on common variables represent the same person. Even using this software, file linking is an intensive and time-consuming task.
The linked files are comprised of many data items. The data items contained in the Patient Abstract System are listed at Data Elements. Because the motor vehicle crash file data items are too numerous to be listed in their entirety, only the most frequently used data items are listed on this website. More complete documentation can be obtained by contacting us.

I can't figure this one out. Why is my iBeam more feedback resistant than my Element in my iMix? I had adjusted the iBeam on the iMix preamp to have more or equal amount of bass as the Element and would have assumed that this would cause me problems with the iBeam and feedback. But I just realized, ever since, it had been the Element causing me early feedback problems.
I have no problem with the sound. It sounds great but would like suggestions how to solve this problem as I believe the Element should be way more feedback resistant than the iBeam and it isn't the case with me.
Some info:
My iMix was set up by a tech. My strings are new. I compared my feedback level to my friends LB6 on his guitar and I had feedback issues with my Element at half his volume but the iBeam was fine.

I was doing some research on this and came across this article last night - http://www.newser.com/story/89129/police-coffin-wood-fuels-naples-pizza-ovens.html - I guess I can't do worse than this.
As for hitting 900F on the deck, can you get enough top heat where it wont hurt more than it will help?
Do you have the digi q, stoker or any other fan assist on the BGE? A computer fan would easily put you past 900.
I use wood all the time in my BGE. I've run out of lump before and I've used just pecan wood. Your gasket gets a little crispy doing this though.. be forewarned! But it works.Agree with jet... but if you don't have a BBQ guru or equivalent you can always use a hairdryer which I've done many times to sear a steak. That one always gets the neighbors attention Scot
My gaskets are long gone. You don't need them. Do you use your BGE for pizzas?Thanks for the info on the pecan. Glad to hear that it isn't an issue.TS

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
When Natalie Smythe '12, started at Whittier, she knew she wanted to mix philosophy, music, and education in her studies, and her Whittier Scholars major allowed her to do that and more. As she tried to tackle the question ''Is Hip-Hop Music a(n) (in)formal education?'' she conducted research into what hip-hop teaches, and what contributions it makes to wider academic discourse. This led her to her senior thesis researching hip-hop feminism. Whittier students make their college experience count both by personalizing their majors and doing specialized Whittier Scholars projects, pursuing the things that make them tick – from arts management to neuroscience.
Watch a video about Natalie's project and those of other Whittier Scholars.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Beth David Reform Congregation was formed in 1943 though the dedication and tireless efforts of Rabbi Samuel Glasner (z'l) and was the fourth Reform temple in the Philadelphia area. Rabbi Glasner used his personal funds to launch the Wynnefield congregation, and with $500 purchased the necessary advertising, music, and prayer books.
For thirty-seven years Beth David remained in Wynnfield. In 1985, Beth David acquired a school and land in Gladwyne from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. The school was originally used by St. John Vianney, whose rectory still stands in front of the synagogue. On May 2, 1986, the congregation dedicated its present sanctuary.
The congregation has since grown to include almost 400 households and has enlarged its facilities with a beautiful new building whose grand reopening was the fall of 2011.
Today, Beth David's spiritual and liturgical leaders are Interim Rabbi Beth Kalisch and Cantor Lilia Kazansky.

Most commentators, apart from Virginia Postrel and the like, seem to think that it would be tragic for the city of Detroit to lose the art collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) in the city's bankruptcy proceedings. I agree that liquidating or "monetizing" the collection and shipping the works off to parts unknown like the spare pieces on a totaled car would be tragic.
But at the same time, there's something about the relationship between the DIA collection and the city government (not to be confused with the people of the city itself) that would seem to warrant the city government's loss of this asset. When you are a bad steward, even what little you have will be taken from you.
Now one could argue about the details of the DIA's day-to-day operations, the compensation package for its director, and so on. But apart from these details of stewardship of the DIA itself, the real object lesson in bad stewardship has to do with the city government. Rife with structural corruption, cronyism, and incompetence, the city has been unable to provide the basic services and protection that it is responsible for, despite the best efforts of so many individuals working within the city government. So when the city cannot do the primary things it needs to do, it should lose the privilege of overseeing the secondary things, at the very least until it proves itself to be a responsible steward.
