The VISOR, acronym for Visual Instrument and Sensory Organ Replacement, was a medical device used in the Federation to aid patients who had suffered loss of eyesight or who were born blind. The VISOR detected electromagnetic signals across the entire EM spectrum between 1 Hz and 100,000 THz and transmitted those signals to the brain through neural implants in the temples of the individual via delta-compressed wavelengths. (TNG: "The Masterpiece Society") The result was a vastly different visual acuity, with VISOR-wearers able to see in the infrared and ultraviolet ranges and beyond. To Human eyes with good vision, the images relayed through the VISOR could seem disorienting and unfamiliar. (TNG: "Heart of Glory", "The Enemy", "The Mind's Eye")
Geordi La Forge, born blind, was given his first VISOR after his fifth birthday. (TNG: "Hero Worship") The VISOR he wore in 2364 was banded in silver metal with golden tines, alternating in placement from the top and bottom bands. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") In 2365, La Forge began wearing a new VISOR, which had tines stretching from the top to bottom bands equally. (TNG: "The Child") By 2373, La Forge had begun to rely on ocular implants which eliminated the need for a VISOR. (Star Trek: First Contact)
The VISOR proved useful in unique applications from time to time.
- La Forge used the VISOR to unsuccessfully examine the Edo God. (TNG: "Justice")
- La Forge also used the VISOR to examine the Crystalline Entity. (TNG: "Datalore")
- Using a visual acuity transmitter to send a live video feed of La Forge's point of view aboard a damaged freighter. (TNG: "Heart of Glory")
- To see if someone was lying by tracking their perspiration. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")
- To use as a tap in for telemetry from an experimental type of probe. (TNG: "Interface")
- To use as a tap in to directly input scenes into La Forge's visual cortex. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")
While trapped on the surface of Galorndon Core, La Forge and Centurion Bochra were able to couple La Forge's VISOR with a Federation tricorder to detect a class 3 probe with a neutrino beacon to transmit their location to the ship in orbit. (TNG: "The Enemy") While being held hostage on Arkaria Base, the crew of the USS Enterprise-D reconfigured the VISOR to emit a hypersonic pulse to incapacitate their captors. (TNG: "Starship Mine")
One of La Forge's spare VISORs was among the objects that Berlinghoff Rasmussen tried to steal from the crew of the Enterprise-D when he was visiting the ship in 2368. (TNG: "A Matter of Time")
La Forge once joked that he could see through a certain type of playing card while explaining to Worf how he knew his cards. He dismissed the joke, stating that he peeks at the cards after the hand is over. (TNG: "Ethics")
The VISOR inadvertently caused several problems as well. Using it caused La Forge physical pain, a result of his natural senses conflicting with the artificial sensory input from the device. Dr. Beverly Crusher offered him the options of either painkillers or exploratory surgery to desensitize the areas of his brain that were being affected, but La Forge declined both because they would interfere with the operation of the VISOR itself. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") When Romulans kidnapped La Forge in 2367, they were able to use his existing neural implants to tap directly into his visual cortex and secretly brainwash him. As the VISOR was capable of receiving E-band emissions, a collaborator was able to remotely control the brainwashed La Forge with an E-band transmitter. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")
When activated, the VISOR emitted a short-range subspace field pulse. While usually harmless, it was this emission that caused Worf to shift between quantum realities in 2370 whenever he was in close proximity with the device. The pulse aggravated the quantum flux that Worf had been experiencing after coming into contact with a quantum fissure. (TNG: "Parallels")
In 2371, Doctor Tolian Soran modified La Forge's VISOR to transmit a live video feed of his range of view to the Duras sisters' ship. Lursa and B'Etor used the footage to discover the Enterprise's shield frequency. (Star Trek Generations) How much of his visual spectrum was broadcast is unknown, as only the "visible light" region of his vision was seen on the viewscreen.
By 2373, La Forge had stopped using the VISOR in favor of ocular implants. (Star Trek: First Contact)
Background information Edit
La Forge's VISOR was modeled after a plastic barrette which generally fits over a girl's or woman's head. This method of representing the VISOR was discovered after the art staff assigned to Star Trek: The Next Generation spent three months working on possible designs. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 3rd ed., p. 21) Scenic Artist Michael Okuda brought the barrette in, one day, to the production after several test models for a VISOR were produced. (Herman Zimmerman, TNG Season 1 DVD special feature "The Making of a Legend", part "VISOR") Remanufactured to fit actor LeVar Burton's face, it retained some elements from illustrator Rick Sternbach's designs. Despite these embellishments, many fans quickly guessed that the prop took its inspiration from a barrette. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion 3rd ed., p. 21)
It was Michael Westmore, Jr. who proposed having connection points on the sides of La Forge's head, which was done using light-emitting diodes. His father, Makeup Designer Michael Westmore, later recalled, "The idea for Geordi's LEDs came out of a conversation I had with my son as we walked across the Paramount lot to the production office. Michael, who had worked for me a few times in the past, thought we should have an interesting effect to indicate the contact point [....] So Mike, Jr. built a pair of little metal attachments that had flat bottoms and could be glued to Levar Burton's makeup' They had wires running through LeVar's hair and down the back of his neck to a small battery pack underneath his arm." (Star Trek: Aliens & Artifacts, p. 70)
By looking closely at some episodes, including "Home Soil", a tiny filament can be seen stretching from the VISOR prop to behind LeVar Burton's ear, used to keep the prop attached to his face.

As Nokia Corp. is reportedly trying to stop development its own Symbian operating system and then transit its smartphones to Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Phone 7 to cut costs by making massive reductions of headcount, Intel Corp. plans to establish a new research and development (R&D) in Finland, which will naturally allow it to absorb the personnel.
A decrease in research and development operations is set to be announced by the end of April, with as many as 6000 jobs under threat, said Antti Rinne of Pro, Finland's biggest private-sector office-worker union, reports Bloomberg news-agency. That would be equivalent to 38% of the Finnish company's global devices R&D workforce. Nokia, however, declined to make any official statements.
While Nokia presumably fires, Intel Corp. seemingly hires. According to a report by Reuters news-agency, the world's largest chipmaker plans to establish an R&D site in Finland and hire approximately 200 engineers particularly at the time when Nokia is about to unveil large job cuts. Intel reportedly confirmed that it had started hiring, but the R&D center was yet to be established.
Intel is interested in ex-Nokia staff as it co-developed MeeGo operating system with the company, which now plans to abandon it almost completely in favour of Microsoft Windows Phone. The world's largest chipmaker still wants to continue developing the OS in order to install it onto tablet devices powered by Atom-featuring system-on-chip products.
Google, Samsung and Skype have reportedly indicated that they were seeking to the former Nokia engineers looking for new jobs following Nokia's announcement regarding plans to transit to WP7.

It looks nice and light and the bake was very even an balanced(top to bottom)....good work there Norma. I hope you try another one because I believe you can get that dough dialed in now. Bob
Normadmaxdmax said in reply 26 that said "plus quite a bit of olive oil which he (Steingarten) says is necessary for extensibility". I think you got great stretch, judging by your photo but maybe at the expense of the flaky texture you said you achieved with Reinhart's dough, with no olive oil. Reinhart's dough has a tendency to shrink when stretching.Ev, reply 26 made a pie that looks flaky with the Reinhart recipe. I thought yours did not look flaky, more bread like, because of the olive oil?.andyt
if you add a tablespoon or two of additional love oil to the dough, It will become much easier to stretch when making it
Congratualtions. I see evidence it has been duly scoffed up and consumed! Success..... it sure looks flaky. (in a good way!) I sometimes add oil when kneading before stretching. I find when I am impatient it tears, but if you roll it up back in a ball , knead it a bit maybe with a couple of drops of water and/or oil and let rest (to rehydrate if you were kneading & rolling with added flour), it will allow a perfect re-stretch. perfetto! 3 chef hats!
Hi NormaThis has to be eaten pretty much shortly after it has been cooked to be enjoyed. At least I think so....
WowThat looks like it came from the Liguorian coast.Bravo
Focaccia di Recco with home made Stracchino. Does the cheese make a difference? It sure does. It seems to melt at the right consistency so as not to render the dough too wet but still cooks to a creamy texture for consumption....not dried out or hardened.
Cheers Chicago Bob & Norma, and Norma if not for you I would not have made the cheese....now I am more interested in cheese making than pizza....
Hi NormaLooks like you can buy curd off the shelf in the US, I guess I have to make my own here. But happy to give it a go.... just need citric acid. At the current cost of living in OZ, making your own cheese is a labour of love or curiosity or both.....it may not really make economic sense....a ball of quality mozzarella is about $5. The milk to make the cheese would cost me $4 per L and at this point I am sure if the yield of curd is as high with my current technique....We shall see! Have lots of stracchino though and I'd use it on regular pizza.
Hi NormaNo he wouldn't ... the citric acid is to make curd from milk; his technique starts from cutting pre made curd and heating it to stretch. I tried to find pre made curd, no one seems to sell it here so I'll have to start from scratch. Might be a couple of weeks before I try this, have to pack as we are moving in next week and then there's the unpacking. At least at the new house there are canopies and I can cook pizza outdoors under shelter in this rainy season.

Waterline break on SUNY Fredonia campus
OBSERVER Staff Report
David Herman, Vice President for Student Affairs, notified students on the SUNY Fredonia campus of waterline break Sunday. The break is in a major 6-inch line that is about 14 feet underground.
According to the announcement, water was to be shut off at the affected area, the Andrews Residence Complex (Hemingway, Hendrix, Igoe, and Schultz residence halls) Sunday at 8 p.m. Herman expected the water to be shut off for about 24 hours, but more will known after the contractor reaches the pipe.
He detailed the options for restrooms and showers in the meantime. In addition, porta potties would be placed outside each of the affected residences. Maps of the alternate arrangements were available and water bottles were issued to students.
More information will be relayed to the students through email when that information is available. Students with questions were advised to contact their resident assistant, resident director, or night desk attendant.

Very very well done. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 was because of no shading.

Denim Jackets
Hardwearing and practical, the traditional denim jacket has been reinvented by G-Star to fit the feminine form. Particularly for women with a narrow waist and fuller bust, G-Star introduces contour denim jackets that follow the figure flawlessly.
Likewise, to solve the problem of sleeves that bunch at the elbow, G-Star has developed a 3D sleeve for denim jackets. Based on the fit of 3D denim pants, the result is greater freedom of movement. G-Star jackets retain details found in classic workwear, but are redesigned with new fabrics and feminine fits. Layered under a jacket or worn as outerwear, the denim jacket is now suitable for all occasions.

Price increase on UKCC courses held until 1st August
Those considering studying for an ASA teaching or coaching qualification should act now to benefit from the current pricing structure, which will be held until 1st August 2010.
For the past three years, the Institute of Swimming (IoS) - as the premier provider of the ASA's UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) courses - has continually absorbed increases in the costs of delivering training, rather than pass them on to its valued customers. However, following a review it has become evident that in order to continue to provide courses of the highest quality, it is necessary to increase prices.
Therefore from 1st August 2010 the recommended retail price of Level 1 courses, currently £370, will increase to £395; Level 2 will go up from £650 to £680 and Level 3 course costs will increase by £100 to £1,900.
All candidates booking onto UKCC courses before 1st August 2010 will pay the current prices, regardless of when the course is due to start.
Emma Phipps, Performance and Standards Manager at the IoS, said "We review and evaluate our courses in terms of quality and value for money on an ongoing basis. Following feedback from candidates and key stakeholders we are pleased to say that we have been able to incorporate additional resources into the new course price.
"With effect from 1st August this year, all candidates on UKCC Level 1 and Level 2 courses will receive the ASA Swimming Teaching & Coaching textbook (at the appropriate level), along with the existing course resources. As well as an invaluable learning aid to enhance candidates' knowledge, the textbook is a transferable resource that can also be used to enhance the delivery of teaching and coaching sessions."
Candidates can continue to access a range of funding options for their studies, details of which are available here.

Your Cost for Waiting to Buy a Home: $46,000 in Mortgage Interest
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The dodo bird.
The chances of the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series.
Mortgage rates below 4% .
All of the above are either extinct already or heading in that direction. (But we'd love to see the Cubs prove us wrong.)
For homebuyers, it's the last item that sticks in their craw. By waiting until this summer to buy a home, fence-sitters may have added tens of thousands of dollars to their home price.
That's because mortgage rates are moving upward, and at a fairly aggressive pace.
According to the BankingMyWay Weekly Mortgage Rate Tracker , 30-year fixed rate mortgages shot up again last week to 4.63% from 4.46%. In May and June, mortgages rates shot to 4.6% from around 3.5% in the past 60 days, to the highest levels since 2011, costing new homebuyers a fortune in the process.
How much are they potentially losing? Let's let the BankingMyWay Mortgage Calculator do the math:
Before May 1
Mortgage amount: $200,000
Term: 30-years, fixed rate mortgage
Interest rate: 3.50%
Monthly payment: $898.09
Total payments: $323,311.97
Total interest: $123,311.97
Since July 10
Mortgage amount: $200,000
Term: 30 years, fixed-rate mortgage
Interest rate: 4.6%
Monthly payment: $1,025.29
Total payments: $369,103.49
Total interest: $169,103.49
That's an extra $127 per month in mortgage payments, and approximately another $46,000 in mortgage interest payments over the course of 30 years -- all by waiting 70 days to buy a new home.
The trend is not just bad news for new homebuyers; it's a negative trend for homeowners looking to sell, as the rise in mortgage rates slows down the housing market's recent momentum.
That hasn't happened yet, but if mortgage rates continue to rise -- and many economists think they will -- fewer buyers may want to wade into a market roiling with high interest rates.
Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtor's chief economist, says skyrocketing rates may return buyers to the dreaded "fence sitter" mindset.
"Even with limited choices, it appears some of the rise in contract signings we're seeing could be from buyers wanting to take advantage of current affordability conditions before mortgage interest rates move higher," he says. "This implies a continuation of double-digit price increases from a year earlier, with a strong push from pent-up demand."
That's positive for homeowners in general, as Yun expects the average U.S. home price to appreciate by 10% this year .
But if rates rise and homebuyers are glued to that fence, that leaves fewer buyers on the market and could well force sellers to once again lower prices.

Skip to comments.The Return of the Savage (Michael) - Tues. Oct. 23, 2012
Posted on 10/22/2012 3:41:18 PM PDT by fishtank
Hi all.
Tomorrow is the scheduled "Return of the Savage".
Can't wait!!!
From the link above:::
Show Name Michael Savage (Cumulus)
Ratings Graph
Starting Tuesday October 23, 2012
showURL http://www.michaelsavage.com/
Syndicator Cumulus Media Other Cumulus Media Shows
Description An arbitrator has freed Michael Savage from his radio prison at Talk Radio Network, and he emerges working for Cumulus Radio, immediately after his close personal friend Mark Levin.
Freed from the TRN "minders" controlling what he says, look for a new and improved Savage to emerge - he is Free At Last!
Well, if there is a way to fire up the base ... of the RATs ... this will do it. Things are going just fine without this psycho on the air.
Tuesday ought to be a hot one!
That is curious.
Looking at the stations listing, the show time is Midnight to 1:00 a.m. Some are most weeks days, but not all. Some are one day per week. A couple go from Midnight to 2:00 a.m.
That is NOT prime time.
Savage 'owned' the afternoon rush hours. Now, his gets Midnight to 1:00 or 2:00 a.m.
I think those are default times until the new ones get announced tomorrow.
I hope.

Sussman earlier came up with a name for the disorder caused by Obama.. irritable bowing syndrome
"I'll carry that for you, sir."
("A few years ago this guy would be carrying our bags...." Bill Clinton.)
Savage has bumped his friend Laura Ingraham (delayed) off KSFO.
Nope. Savage will be sitting in his studios broadcasting live at 6PM until 9PM PST. That equates to 7-10 MST, 8-11 CST, and 9-midnight EST. Syndicated airings will necessarily be later.
He is with Cumulus now. So is Mark Levin, who occupies Savage's earlier time slot, so The Savage Nation time slot will not be changing for the foreseeable future.
"Not So Merry Lou", "Spitebar", "Crankabye" etc. will need to find another talk show to announce they will be switching to (ad nauseam) each and every time Savage disappoints them...assuming Dynachrome hosts a daily thread.
Me, I've been listening to Levin every night. Although I like Mark, and he and Savage agree on nearly everything politically, I've missed the uniqueness that is Michael Savage. Strictly politics for three full hours every night doesn't provide the variety and humor I get from Michael.
While I don't think the name calling of other conservative talkers helps him (some of the names ARE funny), but I gladly overlook it for his bravery to say the bold faced truths out loud that the others will not say. I find his oversized ego, and the many other naked psychological imperfections hilarious, familiar, and most entertaining. He is flawed, just like all of us.
Welcome back, Michael Savage!
nice time to stick up for savage-is he paying you?
also nice to insult the people who have been posting to the savage thread for a long time.
savage used to talk (ad nauseum - in your words) about himself, reading from his books, his new yorker interview, and btw did I say about himself?
all that while doing 3 shows 2 hours a day
plus he is bashing romney at the absolutely most critical time in our country.
if you want to hear about jack hatfield and a few political comments sprinkled around his self aggrandizement - more power to you
Agreed! Tunein radio is far superior. It has a record function which is great in case you miss something and toucan rewind the feed. It's basically a screw for ipHone.
I seriously hope the third hour is live and not filled with repeats you've heard so many times you nearly have them memorized.
I too am looking forward to Michael Savage live starting 12 hours from now. Absence, hearts grow fonder, ya know.
And I too hope that 3rd hour is live. No more recorded interviews, show excerpts, please! (Hopefully the new syndicator made an issue of that — I would have!)
And speaking of recordings, another site to use is http://dar.fm. If you're not sure you'll be by a radio during Doc's new timeslot, try that!
No stations on Central Time?
That is very cool. I am giving it a try. Thanks!
That is very cool. I am giving it a try. Thanks!
This link has a list of some of the radio shows on the airwaves, but I aim to fix it up. When I tried, the other day, my browser crashed. My main goal is to clean up the shows listed, fix the time changes and add better links to players if needed. Also I have to add the shows missing off the list.
A big one is Roger Hedgecock. Also missing are Jay Severin who joined Glenn Beck's streaming radio feed recently. Then it has Jesse Lee Peterson missing as well as other shows like Chris Plante, Imus, Peter Schiff and Mancow, who does politics on the show.
Takes time to do a list. But I will try again to do it when I find time. But this is the list I will base it off. So since it was created several months ago it is missing the recent lineup changes.
KLIF in Dallas is in central time that will run Savage. Just tune into any station stream with Savage at 8pm CT which in ET time is 9pm CT and west coast is 6pm PT
I should add that link is also missing all of the Fox News Radio lineup, Coast to Coast AM, Red Eye Radio, Alex Jones, and Janine Turner's weekend show in Texas on KLIF among others. For example, Vicki Mckenna's Wisconsin station,WISN, also has Mark Belling, who has filled in for Rush Limbaugh before, and Jay Weber.
Thanks for that!
All good information....
Only about one and a half hours to go!
What other stations are carrying him?
Just thought of another possibility.
That KSFO site has a 7-day archive section where their on-air broadcasts are kept. If Savage is recorded there, you can download it there.
After Mark Levin ends at 6:00PM, KSFO in SF has had the much despised John Batchelor on.
Tonight we got the equally despised Michael Savage!
Click! No more crap after 6:00 PM!
Nice to hear Dr. Savage on the air again, and at one of his old stations.
Call-in number: 1-855-400-7282.
What happened to "psychological nudity" and the rest of that intro?
Will there be podcasts of his previous shows so we can listen later at a more reasonable time instead of late at night like it is now?
Savage is pretty good.
I like his show.
Your characterizations of Savage's comments are flawed. Savage has repeatedly said that Romney is the one he's voting for while acknowledging that he is not the best we could have done.
He's missed numerous opportunities to enlighten the politically unaware of "fast & furious", the trillions of our dollars invested in green companies who contributed to Obama, and are all now bankrupt, having run with the money that taxpayers will be paying back for decades, Obama's belief that our constitution is outdated and flawed, Obam's fondness for redistribution of American wealth to the rest of the world, Obama's intentional collusion with the Muslim Brotherhood while they oppress the entire Arab crescent, and worst of all the willful allowance of the massacre in Libya and the easily provable coverup of what really happened. It is Romney who failed to bring these to light to the uninformed, not Savage.
Romney is nevertheless, far better than the unthinkable alternative. That kind of statement is not going to damage Romney in the eyes of those who can process a complete thought.
Yes, Savage has an ego. Anyone who believes they have something important to say and makes their living doing it will have an ego. Rush, Levin and the rest all have oversize egos.
You appear so down on Savage that the intellectually honest thing would be for you start hosting your own "Michael Savage Sucks" thread and stop being such a joy kill for those of us who enjoy Savage's perspective and might otherwise engage in conversation on Dynachrome's thread. But, when I peek in, there you are, every day, with the exact same complaints over and over and over again.
On the thread, you are, to me, a downer (not the only one, but the most consistently detrimental), a complainer without a solution, a bore, and it's very tiresome. Yes, it is "ad nauseam," referring to something that has been done or repeated so often that it has become annoying or tiresome. ORIGIN mid 18th cent.: Latin, literally to sickness.
If you so seldom have anything positive or more interesting to add, ask yourself, what in your own psyche is fulfilled by your exasperating "could be copied and pasted" put downs? Why do you so need to do that in relentless fashion?
If you hate Savage so much and can't have the compassion to understand that even an unusually vigorous 70 year old man cannot do as frequently what he once did at 55, why not move on to something you like, where you might even make a positive and uplifting contribution from time to time? Levin is what you yearn for. He is what you would expect a constitutional lawyer to be. He is consistent, constant, learned, and very necessary; but he lacks the quick, picturesque, humorous, and imaginative sunspots that can flare from the mind of Savage at any moment.
It's the difference between dossiers and high art.
Savage's occasional gold nuggets, so unique and rare, found amongst the silt and creek muck, when held up, shining in the sun, bring joy to the soul and make the whole endeavor well worth it. A pity you don't have the taste to appreciate them or the mental patience to sift for them.
No such luck, Q. He's needing more time to meet all his book contracts, I would guess.
Yup, but it's chopped into hourly segments and I don't know how to thread them together into a solid block.

Bernice Kaminski attributes her success to believing and living the dreams of her clients. Starting her Boca Raton career in 1984 in new home development sales, Bernice has seen, first hand, the immense growth that has raised Boca Raton to the epitome of luxury!! After 10 years in new construction, she learned what buyers want to make their dream of home ownership come true. In 1993, Bernice decided that it was time to "change hats" and help both buyers and sellers that desire five star addresses. She chose the Boca Raton Resort & Club for her new office and joined both the Resort's Premier Club and Coldwell Banker!
Bernice's first listing on the grounds of the Resort was at Mizner Lake Estates, an intimate enclave of just 15 special homes...truly a five star address. Since that sale, Bernice has participated in either the sale or listing of most of the re-sales there. Whether it is oceanfront, intracoastal, or golf communities, Bernice has sold them all and has acquired the knowledge to serve her client's needs.
Bernice is not just a realtor but also a 'cheerleader" for Boca & the Resort. Both she and her husband are also boosters for Florida Atlantic University and are Florida Marlins ticket holders.
If it all sounds like work-it's not, although this year she has sold over $15,000,000 of luxury properties with months yet to go. She does work hard to make her clients feel the five star results they are looking for, but feels that "if you love what you do, it's not really work". Her clients become friends; they have a special bond-they love Boca Raton, the Resort, and the special blessing bestowed upon them. Benice can be reached at 561-279-6938

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 27, 2012) – USA Volleyball will sanction the 2012 events of the National Volleyball League (NVL).
The NVL was founded in late 2010 by pro beach volleyball player Albert Hannemann and played its first full pro season in 2011. Its tournaments are often produced in conjunction with large-scale lifestyle events such as The Preakness Stakes, the Triple Crown horse race held in May in Baltimore.
In 2012, the NVL is scheduled to host six professional events. It will also host 25 collegiate events in partnership with Sinjin Smith and his National Collegiate Sand Volleyball Association.
"The NVL is excited about working with our national governing body and how they are supporting our efforts," Hannemann said. "We have worked very hard with the players to establish a tour that they can play on for many years to come. It is crucial that we all work together for the betterment of the sport. Our tour offers the players a place to showcase their talents and compete at the highest level so we can continue to dominate the world of beach volleyball."
Competing in NVL events will be one way that players can accrue points in the USA Volleyball Beach National Rankings.
"The National Volleyball League provides an important domestic platform for our experienced professional stars, and our elite development beach volleyball athletes," said Dave Williams, USAV managing director for beach volleyball. "We are excited to see world-class athletes and compelling lifestyle events showcasing our sport."
The NVL web site is nationalvolleyballleague.com.

Embraer entered the light jet market in 2005, promising more for less, and the $8.14 million Phenom 300 delivers. It's fast, has long legs and sports a well-equipped, comfortable cabin with an array of options typically found only in airplanes costing millions more. The Phenom 300 was certified late last year.

The people who build airplanes believe better times are coming. So do many analysts, who predict that aircraft sales will gain momentum by the middle of next year. When that happens, manufacturers will be ready because they have continued to fund research and development of new airplanes.

According to her Instructor, nine-year-old blue belt Miss Raine Stockman shows a true winner's "indomitable spirit" in her training and other areas of her life. She recently performed an independent leadership project collecting clean, worn towels and blankets to provide for various domestic animals staying at her local veterinary clinic. Her mother said "Raine got a tour of the vet clinic and hospital to see how the items were used to support the animals. It was a great learning experience. Raine is motivated to do more community service. Next on her radar is the board breaking event." Raising money to help others get into Songahm Taekwondo through Team Pride and to help others further their educations through the H.U. Lee Foundation (ATA's non-profit for scholarships) are great ways to show leadership at any age! Fulfilling this young lady's potential is a pathway destined for great heights with support from her friends, family and ATA family.
Team PRIDE tuition assistance students often dedicate themselves to Songahm Taekwondo with such enthusiasm and diligence that in time they become some of the school's best leaders. They work hard and practice Songahm life skills in their personal, professional, educational and social lives, extending positive influences into needful places far beyond the dojahng. It is our pleasure to highlight a few of Master Jordan Schreiber's most accomplished students, who repay the kindness of Team PRIDE assistance with achievement and honor in their lives, and with true leadership in their schools and communities.

Implications for practice and research
Behavioural interventions can reduce maternal, fetal and neonatal obstetric and weight-related risks.
Good-quality research is required to inform the development of behavioural interventions to determine effectiveness and cost-effectiveness for short-term and long-term health outcomes.
There has been a rapid development of international maternal obesity and gestational weight gain (GWG) guidelines due to increasing evidence of risk.1–3 Maternal obesity has doubled over two decades with significant UK regional variation.4 ,5 The majority of published GWG research is among non-UK populations.2 This systematic review aimed to determine the effectiveness of behavioural interventions in pregnancy at …

In short: Lovely EventIn full: No complaints from me. Everything about this event made it worthwhile. I'll be back next yearDate of review: June 9, 2014
In short: challenging raceIn full: Great event, against the odds, i actually got a pb with 3-57-48 . Very friendly atmosphere, and support along the way, in all, a great day!Date of review: December 24, 2012
In short: great race!In full: this was my second time of running this race, missed last year. I enjoyed this one even more, probably because the rain stayed away! Lovely scenic, mildly challenging course. Friendly oficials, good parking facilities ( though it was a good job i brought spare running shoes and socks, as mine got soaked in the long grass, walking oveq to register) great buzz round the starting area, and a well organized start. All in all, a great effort by all involved, i will be back!Date of review: October 1, 2012
In short: Very enjoyable raceDate of review: November 22, 2010
In short: Hard workIn full: For a 54 year old, this was hard. Fair bit of uphill, repeated 5 times!Wet day, so slippery and muddy.All in all i enjoyed the race, but i thought the facilities were a bit poor. The website said changing facilities. The only place to change was a toilet, which was busy pre race, so i had to change on wet grass.The free coffee and cake was a nice touch. I found the race finish a bit confusing too, being divided as we ran to the line.All in all, o.k. but not sure i would do it againDate of review: October 24, 2010
In short: Very enjoyable raceDate of review: October 18, 2010
In short: BrilliantIn full: I cant praise this event highly enough. The race was tough, but rewarding with great scenery, including the castle. What really made it for me was the great atmosphere. It was like a big outdoor party, with the whole village buzzing before the race, and clapping and cheering at the end.Literally hundreds of people lined the streets, to cheer the runners home.And all for a tenner! I travelled down from Croydon for this, and it was worth every mile, and every penny. See you next yearDate of review: August 29, 2010
In short: Great RaceIn full: This was a very enjoyable race, very friendly and helpful marshalls. If i had to make one small gripe, we could have done with some waste bins. By the way, my Garmin also said 12.95 , but i cant see any problem with thatDate of review: August 22, 2010
In short: Great race, well organizedIn full: Just got back. Hard work this one, plenty of uphill, but worth the effort. Lovely scenery and brilliant organisation. I will definately do this againDate of review: January 3, 2010

CSE increases revenue in 2014
The Colombo Stock Exchange revenue increased by 25% to 961 million rupees in 2014 from 771 million rupees in 2013.
This was mainly due to the increase seen in CSE and Central Depository System fee income, sale of information income and listed company income.
The group profit tax crossed 30 million rupees during the year recording a strong growth over the previous year.
The CSE increased daily turnover by over 70% which was reflected by a 25% increase in revenue in the last financial year.

How do you feel about towns using the Department of Defense Surplus?
In recent weeks, Long Hill Township and Watchung Borough passed ordinances allowing their police departments to be able to apply for surplus equipment from the Department of Defense. Long Hill recently procured a Humvee to use in times of flooding, which Watchung states as the reason they are getting into the program. However, in cities around the country, police forces have used the program to obtain military gear, such as weapons and armor. For more background, go to the link below http://www.newjerseyhills.com/echoes-sentinel/news/watchung-police-department-hopes-to-receive-equipment-from-department-of/article_12ad002a-92b3-5449-a2cc-4b2cf0ce4339.html

When you think of a strong safety you might think of a punisher. Someone who sits back in the secondary and when the ball is revealed he crashes through the ball carrier like a Mack truck. And while that is part of what a strong safety does, it's not quite all of it.
We've set out to find the best strong safeties in the NFL, based on how well they tackle, stop the run, cover deep and come up to take on blockers.
To find out who's best, we've determined what makes up a great strong safety and how well each 2011 starter represents those traits. The quest comes as part of the B/R NFL 1,000. The new series offers an in-depth look at every position in the NFL, breaking down players' skills in a way never before seen on the Internet.
B/R 1,000 rankings don't assess who had the best year, or even who has the most potential. Rather, players—in this case, strong safeties—are judged on their current skills and mechanics, based solely on film study of the 2011 NFL preseason and regular season.
After hours spent scouting every starter and potential starter, the top 32 strong safeties have been scored on 10 criteria (more on the criteria here). In the slides that follow, we'll explain each player's strengths and weaknesses as the final ranking is revealed.
Note: Some players lined up at both free and strong safety during the 2011 season. Players were ranked at the position they played most, according to game tracking done by our friends at ProFootballFocus.com.

Tenderloin Declared The Next Mission District By Area Old Man
— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |
Does the North Beachification of the Mission leave you feeling bummed? Do you find your mind wandering to Oakland as you walk down Valencia? Do you miss the glory days of the 1970s when you were just a wide-eyed spermie kicking the tires in your daddy's crotch beans? Well, noted combination Tenderloin slumlord and alt blogger Randy Shaw has the up-and-coming neighborhood just for you!:
Walking by the restaurant row of Mangosteen, Bodega Bistro, Red Crawfish, Lee's Sandwiches and Turtle Tower between Eddy and Ellis in the Tenderloin's Little Saigon district, one suddenly comes across a vintage clothing store that looks like it arrived in a time machine from the Mission District of the 1970's. Located adjacent to the future new home of Turtle Tower, VacationSF at 651 Larkin is an example for the creativity that can emerge when an innovative Tenderloin resident decides to open up a business in their own neighborhood rather than in more upscale surroundings.
Proprietor Kristin Klein "loves the Tenderloin," and since opening her store last June has found many positives about the neighborhood that others overlook. Klein sees the Tenderloin as "more of an anything goes neighborhood than the Mission," a feeling that enables her free music shows to attract between 100-200 people without complaints.
More upscale surroundings? Well, yes Randy, the Mission is certainly more upscale than the corner of Twerkin' and Lurkin'. But then again, our neighborhood hasn't been held down for 30 years by shady crackhouse landlords who fill the streets with diseased individuals rather than help them.
Just sayin'.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great friendly race with some hard terrain, water jumps but not too hillyIn full: A great morning out. This was lots of fun, and really well organised - although my normal pre-race routine was rather put out by the lack of a toilet queue! The marshalls were particularly cheery and encouraging, especially at the harder points. It felt rather harder than it should have, given the moderate but not suicidal elevation, because of the really soft ground and claggy mud. Definitely one for the most grippy mud shoes you can find!Date of review: November 24, 2013
In short: Lovely race - very friendly - interesting rather than really tough!In full: First time at this race. Really good organisation, loads of "facilities" in the tech college, no baggage or toilet queues!Much better scenery than I thought, good views across the sea, and loved the climb into the woods, even second time round. Enough technical challenge in the single-track sections to keep focussed. Good crowd support, especially considering it was a bit nippy!Thanks Weston AC, will be back!!!Date of review: February 25, 2013
In short: Great race, very well organised.In full: No gripes at all - there was a 10min queue to get into the car park, but luckily I had plenty of time and there were a good number of portaloos so only a short wait there. As it was virtually no distance to the start, it was easy to run "unsupported" by the long-suffering family for once, just dumping kit in the car. The race itself is well marshalled and very well marked every km, spot on accuracy. It's very flat, so good for a PB. Beautiful weather today added to the scenery too. RecommendedDate of review: November 18, 2012
In short: Wonderful race, hilly and beautiful, friendly and inclusiveIn full: It's certainly hilly, but the terrain is good throughout and the hills are never too long. The most challenging aspect was the icy rain (was it hail??) with 45mph wind on Beachy Head itself. Encouraged me to run faster though!! Lovely marshals, and lots of them too, no chance of a wrong turn. Soup at one checkpoint v welcome. The scenery was truly outstanding and I can't wait to do it again. I'd say add 25% to your road time though. Date of review: October 28, 2012
In short: great rural road race - no crowding and flat makes for fast timesIn full: Loved this; my first Cricklade Half. So much more fun than the big-city halfs with trips and elbows all round. Crowd support patchy, but vociferous! Sports centre reg and start v well organised with helpful (free) baggage staff. Loads of water and attentive marshalls. No sports drinks, but told, so brought with me. The scenery was great considering it was flat, but that also brought some serious PB potential!Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Fabulous - scenery and trails, but not much harder than a road marathonIn full: This was my first Richmond Trail Marathon (3rd running marathon overall). This had the joy of the trail, ie minimal road pounding, but none of the difficulties of a remote setting. There were hills, but relatively short and sweet! Very friendly marshalls, and no difficulties in navigating the other park users. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a first marathon, or something a bit different having done some road marathons.Date of review: May 21, 2012
In short: Fabulous - mud, hills, amazing scenery, great marshalls - lots of fun!!In full: This was my first Offa's Orror, and I'll definitely come back. The hills are certainly steep, and probably slower downhill because of the mud! This made the race all the more interesting, and the good mix of meadows by the river, and forest trails made it very "doable". The marshalls were really lovely people and the girls doing the cakes at the hall were amazing! What a great race.Date of review: April 22, 2012
In short: Beautiful and well organised but gritting the ice would be good!In full: I really enjoyed this, and didn't find the hills too bad, that's training in Bath I suppose! The ice mentioned before, at 1 & 8K, should really have been sorted. I could hear a marshall radioing the organisers about it as I went past. Still, it was uphill there, so not too much of an issue.The timing was very good, and like the printout. Not really fussed re goody bag, and the recovery drink was welcome.Spectators can see well in multiple places, but the cafe and all toilets were closed. I can live with portaloos, even if they don't flush, but it's not so nice for spectators. On such an icy day, some hot options other than coffee & burger van would be good.Date of review: February 5, 2012
In short: Great race, sets out to convert any runner to trails, and would succeed!In full: This was lots of fun. Yes the entry fee was higher than some, but that's what funds the fantastic organisation and the extras that make it very family friendly (my kids loved the climbing wall). The setting was beautiful, and the marshalls were friendly and supportive. The other runners in my wave (purple) were very supportive to eachother too. May not have been the same in the faster groups?!The rat store had some bargains, and I got a PB for this trail distance so treated myself!Date of review: May 22, 2011
In short: Great marathon, friendly, well-organised and scenic.In full: This was my first full marathon, and has converted me to the experience, I only thought I'd want to do one! Good camaraderie, especially in the second half made up for the more sparse support in places, which is always the way in rural races. There were places to run on verges/grass which spared my usually-offroad-running knees.Date of review: May 17, 2011

Highly decorative engraving of the exotic bird by Buffon, a French naturalist, mathematician, biologist, cosmologist and author. Le Comte de Buffon was struck by the diversity of life and was not content with existing explanations of the natural world. 100 years before Darwin, Buffon, in his Histoire Naturelle, a 44 volume encyclopedia describing everything known about the natural world, was considering common ancestry of man and apes.

Ounce-Saving Gear for Stage Races - Page 8
Stage races typically require 2000 calories a day and determining the smartest calorie-per-ounce ratio will probably be your biggest pre-race planning obsession. A very personal choice, some European racers live off of olive oil and fresh parma while some Americans try a liquid-only strategy of fuel and recovery drinks. Most of us, though, will mix the usual suspects of energy foods and freeze-dried meals to top off our daily stores. My lunch on the trail is the nutrient-rich, vegan ProBar Meal bars, which are truly delicious and offer a dense ratio of 390 calories per three-ounce bar. First priority upon finishing for the day is to get in your recovery drink; I recommend Hammer Recoverite in Citrus for its easy, palatable, orange-juice-like taste. Even if you don't use recovery products at home, they are a functional necessity when running for seven days straight and are easy calories to carry in a powder form at roughly 100 calories per ounce. Right before bed, I treat myself to a Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter squeeze pouch which acts as a yummy dessert and adds an incredible 180 calories per 1.1-ounce packet.
Bonus Tip: For nights when your stomach is nauseous, pack a few pouches of powdered mashed potatoes and sprinkle on powdered gravy for extra flavor and replacement sodium. This comfort food is inexpensive, always goes down easy and ensures your carb fueled for the next day.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013 was announced on Saturday night in New Orleans, site of Super Bowl XLVII. Bill Parcells, Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden & four others will be enshrined.Get More NFL Video
HOF Announcement
The Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013 was announced on Saturday night with seven new members being selected for induction. Pro Football Hall of Fame President and Director Steve Perry made the announcement in New Orleans, home of Super Bowl XLVII.
Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1987 Supplemental Draft, Cris Carter struggled to make an impact under then head coach Buddy Ryan and found himself cut after three troubled seasons. The following season, Carter joined the Minnesota Vikings where he made a name for himself by "always catching touchdowns." The sure-handed wideout collected 110 touchdowns in 12 seasons with Minnesota including a career-best 17 in 1995. Carter touched on his emotions of being enshrined into the Hall of Fame after a rocky start to his NFL career.
With all of the excitement surrounding Super Bowl XVLII, Johnathen Ogden, who played his entire career as a Baltimore Raven was enshrined for his first year of eligibility. Ogden was the first draft pick in Ravens history and transcended the left tackle position by protecting the blindside of right-handed quarterbacks for 12 seasons. The Washington DC native, who won a Super Bowl with current Raven and future hall of famer Ray Lewis in 2001, discussed his excitement for his former teammate and friend.
Bill Parcells joined the Hall of Fame Class as the only coach selected in 2013. Parcells was a two-time AP NFL Coach of the Year and won two Super Bowls as head coach of the New York "football" Giants. For more coverage surrounding the NFL stay with CineSport and follow us on twitter @CineSport.

Something for everyone in the natural world
For many years, I've spent a great deal of my time researching and studying the positive effects of outdoor life for purposes of both avocation and vocation.
It goes without saying that I've greatly enjoyed the process. These efforts have ranged from group activities to solo adventures, and have been conducted in all sorts of weather and throughout the four seasons.
In this effort, I've hosted a wide spectrum of guests – ranging from juvenile delinquents to incarcerated felons, and from Prime Ministers to Emirs. And yet, they were all treated equally by the fish, the blackflies and me.
I've handled young and old, fit and infirmed, the wealthy and the not so. Above all, the greatest equalizer was the environment. Despite our many differences, we are all equal in the wild.
The breeze blew in my face just as they did on theirs, and the snow was equally as cold and fluffy for all who handled it.
Nature provides equal shares to all. It is an equal opportunity entertainer. However, it is the individual's choice of whether to take advantage of such natural delights or not.
Certainly such decisions will always depend on the required skills, knowledge, equipment and fitness levels. However, the ability to enjoy our natural surroundings is an experience of equal opportunity.
Some prefer to play outdoors with such tools of choice as skis, paddles, bows, bikes, ropes, sleds, rods, guns, kites, skates and other such tools or conveyances.
Others may utilize a mask and snorkel, a telescope, a camera or a sound recorder. Some may just like the scent of a sea breeze, the view of a sunset summit or the honk of a passing flock of geese.
Whatever their particular pleasure, it is more likely to be found outdoors, where the entertainment is natural and ever changing.
Regular outdoor travelers have long recognized the positive effects of the natural environment. It can be equally relaxing, and exhilarating, calming and exciting, soft or hard, loud or quiet.
And therein is the main attraction. Nature is not static, it changes with the wind and weather, the time of day, the season and the terrain.
The forests, streams, lakes, mountains and oceans demand very little from us, though they're still engaging, ever changing and attention-grabbing.
There are very few man-made productions that are able to captivate human attention with the efficiency of a waterfall or crashing surf.
Such natural experiences serve to reset the human clock and restore our mental functioning in the same way that food and water restores our bodies. It is an intuitive notion, which often manifests itself in people who live close to nature.
Age of discovery
I have spent the past few days devouring a variety of stories, photographs and suggestions that were first assembled in a locally published periodical titled, "Journal of the Outdoor Life: The Anti-Tuberculosis Magazine."
The publication was based in Saranac Lake and published monthly beginning in 1904 at the Adirondack Cottage Sanitorium. It was devoted to encouraging both TB patients and the general public "to embrace and take up the healthy outdoor life."
The September 1905 issue features such stories as "Hounding Deer in the Adirondacks 25 Years Ago: Recollections of an Old Hunter" and "The Call to Nature" which read:
"The desire, which all of us experience to get outdoors at this season and stretch our arms and fill our lungs and rest our eyes is one of the few priceless heritages from prehistoric man that we have not been able to smother completely beneath artificial contrivances and social devices of the day.
"The longing is common to all – it is one of the first sane impulses. Our beings clamor for air that is untainted, and our eyes for colors that are fresh.
"Some say, 'Live Outdoors!' Well, Sir that is the only life to live when you want fresh air, it will make your chest stick out like a hired man."
The same volume included this letter to the editor:
"Your Journal of March 5 to hand. I am very glad to hear of your work for the Sanatorium. There is undoubtedly evidence that the Outdoor Life has cured many who were considered helplessly ill. The more persons you get outside the better for the nation. Signed: Ernest Thomas Seton."
Seton was a British author, wildlife artist, founder of the Woodcraft Indians and one of the founding pioneers of the Boy Scouts of America.
Seton's sparkling recommendation comes as no surprise, for the Journal of Outdoor Life was filled with articles on subjects such as "An Outdoor Hobby as a Prevention of Disease," "Notes on the Night Skies," "Bird Identification and Song," and Fern Study and Trout Fishing.

Armchair adventurers unite
After enduring another weeklong spell of bitterly cold temperatures, it's time for local outdoor junkies to get their kicks and licks in some warm, comfortable surroundings.
Conveniently, it will be possible as the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour returns to Lake Placid for its 15th season. The sell-out event will be hosted by Lake Placid Center for the Arts on Sunday at 7 p.m.
Armchair adventurers can get tickets in advance at
High Peaks Cyclery in Lake Placid or at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.
Tickets are $19 in advance and $22 at the door if still available. Don't wait until the last minute, though, as the event has been sold out in advance for the past 12 years.

I was thinking that one way to increase the amount of food we sell would be to have eating friendly events in the early evening (6ish to 9ish) slot. I know this wouldn't always be possible or desirable. But it could be a rule of thumb that we do what we can to not put people off from having dinner.
Maybe we do this already and I've just seen a few unavoidable and worthy exceptions. And perhaps most people here work hard to make the Forest the sort of place that their parents don't want to come to. But it is people like our parents who buy food in cafes. And we can't afford to entirely alienate this demographic.

Isn't it about time he cleans up his act when things aren't going well?
A couple of different articles since the British Open about this and I think they are right. Personally I love the fact he is so competitive and hard on himself, and relays that into emotion. However being in such a spotlight worldwide and being so instrumental to young people taking up the game of golf it is time he realizes how his temper impacts young impressionable golfers and also how stupid he can look at times having a fit about a bad shot.
Plus it kind of puts a chink in his impenetrable mental fortress he is so known for.
