Saranac Lake board wants counties to take over emergency dispatch
SARANAC LAKE – The village board wants Essex and Franklin counties to completely take over the dispatching of local emergency personnel.
The village Board of Trustees voted Monday to essentially shift all emergency dispatching currently provided by village fire drivers to Essex and Franklin counties, provided the counties agree and make the necessary infrastructure upgrades. If that happens, the village would no longer dispatch the Saranac Lake, Paul Smiths-Gabriels and Bloomingdale volunteer fire departments or the Saranac Lake Volunteer Rescue Squad.
Village officials say there are liabilities with their employees dispatching the outside departments. They also say county dispatchers are better trained and equipped to dispatch local emergency personnel. Franklin County is already handling 60 to 70 percent of the emergency calls in the Saranac Lake area through its Enhanced 911 center in Malone.
"It seems to be working," Trustee Barbara Rice said. "This is just that last little push to really have what I believe is in the best interest in terms of safety and health for the community."
But the potential loss of local dispatching has the fire chiefs in Saranac Lake, Bloomingdale and Paul Smiths concerned.
The board approved Monday night, with no discussion, a resolution that says the board "shall no longer provide dispatch for external department(s), once the infrastructure for each county is installed and working." Trustee Allie Pelletieri said the village wants to "put out a clear message to the counties and the fire department.
"The idea of the resolution is to encourage or push the counties to get the system up and running because we as a village are getting out of the dispatch business," Pelletieri said.
Trustees said one of the biggest advantages of E-911 is that county dispatchers can provide medical assistance over the phone to someone with a life-threatening problem.
"Our fire drivers, as great as they are, they don't have those skills," said Trustee Paul Van Cott. "That's not their training."
Why not provide village fire drivers with that level of training? Van Cott said it would be expensive and is "not something that's ever been discussed."
The county also has state-of-the-art emergency services equipment, including mapping systems that identify the location of a call, which Van Cott said the village can't afford to purchase on its own.
The move to end village dispatching for the Bloomingdale and Paul Smiths-Gabriels fire departments "was partially initiated because there is liability associated with us dispatching for other fire departments," Rice said. The village has historically dispatched those departments because the counties didn't have the infrastructure to do so, until recently. Now Franklin County can send alerts directly to Paul Smiths-Gabriels firefighters' pagers.
Trustee Tom Catillaz noted that village taxpayers have been paying for 911 infrastructure for years via a charge on their phone bills, but they haven't gotten the full benefit of the system.
"We have 911. It's here. Let's get on board with it," Catillaz said.
Saranac Lake Fire Chief Brendan Keough said he was under the impression that village fire drivers would continue to dispatch Saranac Lake fire and rescue personnel.
"If they're looking to not allow us to self-dispatch, I can tell you they're in for a big fight from the fire department," Keough said.
Keough said there have been two "serious examples" in the past week of local emergency personnel being sent to the wrong location because of county 911 dispatchers' lack of familiarity with the area. He said he couldn't provide specifics because of confidentiality issues.
"We're all for 911 and people using 911," Keough said, "but when there is a discrepancy, when there is an issue, when they can't find a location, we enhance 911. We make it better by being able to self-dispatch."
Bloomingdale Fire Chief Tim Woodruff seemed resigned that his department will no longer be dispatched by Saranac Lake.
"We're going to have to go forward with it, whether we like it or not," he said. "I think we're definitely losing a valuable asset with having Saranac Lake not dispatch."
Woodruff said department leaders will meet with emergency services officials from both counties in a few weeks.
Paul Smiths-Gabriels Fire Chief Roger Smith said he's "not happy" about the prospect of the county taking over dispatching.
"The Saranac Lake drivers know the area, they know our equipment, they know us personally, and we've worked together for many years," Smith said. "We've never had a problem."
Smith and others suggested the move may be a first step toward the village getting rid of some of its fire drivers to save money.
"It has absolutely nothing to do with that," Rice said. "We have no plans to cut any fire drivers whatsoever."
Village Manager John Sweeney and Pelletieri said Franklin County may decide it wants to preserve local dispatching in Saranac Lake in some form.
"If they request us to do it, and they assume the liability and the cost, we'll be fine with it," Pelletieri said.
Franklin County could be ready to fully take over dispatching of Saranac Lake and Paul Smiths-Gabriels emergency personnel by Jan. 1, Deputy Emergency Services Director and 911 Coordinator John Bashaw II told the Enterprise Tuesday. He said the county recently installed a new repeater on a radio tower on Mount Pisgah that will eliminate a communications problem it had with Paul Smiths-Gabriels firefighters.
Asked about the concern that Malone dispatchers are unfamiliar with the Saranac Lake area, Bashaw said, "Our dispatchers in Malone don't know the area in Hogansburg, either.
"We've been dispatching for 17 out of the 18 departments (in the county) for quite a long time, and we don't seem to have that much of an issue, although there's always a chance for human error," he said.
Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish said the earliest his county could take over dispatching for Bloomingdale would be next spring. The county is in the process of installing a new emergency radio system that will improve communications with Bloomingdale firefighters, Jaquish said.
Local emergency line
Instead of dialing 911, some Saranac Lake area residents still call a local emergency number that rings at the village firehouse, 518-891-2211, if they need medical assistance. Sweeney said the village will soon set up a recording that tells anyone who calls that number in an emergency to hang up and dial 911. The same will be done for the main number to the village police station, 518-891-4422.
Sweeney stressed that this plan is still being worked out and that the village will publicize it before it's finalized.
The change will also affect buildings in the area with security systems programmed to call 891-2211 if a fire alarm is triggered. Sweeney said those property owners will have to reprogram their systems to call the Malone 911 center.

Thanks to falling production costs leading to declines in average selling prices (ASPs), shipments of ultra-high-definition (UHD) 4K desktop monitors are expected to increase steadily. Still, that increase will not mean that displays with 3840*2160 resolution will become a de-facto standard for high-end PCs and workstations.
According to a new report from NPD DisplaySearch, even as overall desktop monitor demand falls to 133 million units in 2014, 4K UHD monitor shipments will reach two million units, or 1.5% of the market. At present, 4K monitors are targeted for applications like computer graphics, photo processing, CAD/CAM, and multi-operation environments; however, as ASPs decline, the 4K market will expand to encompass standard office operations that require more data on a single screen.
Two million displays with 3840*2160 resolution is not a lot. It is less than the amount of high-end enthusiast-class graphics cards sold per year. Therefore, two million 4K displays may not be enough for professionals and gamers. Keeping in mind that DisplaySearch tends to release conservative predictions early in the year regarding the high-end of the market, the number of 4K displays shipped may be considerably higher than two million units.
The average selling price for 4K monitors this year is forecast to decline from $1347 in 2014 to $927 in 2017. By 2017 shipments are forecast to reach approximately 8% of the market, up from 1.5% expected this year.
"Increased 4K-class monitor shipment volume will depend on how far and how fast ASPs decline. Although manufacturers hope toraise prices for 4K-enabled monitors, price competition has already begun," said Hidetoshi Himuro, director of PC and IT research at NPD DisplaySearch.
Dell recently started to sell an 4K monitor for $699. The 28" Ultra HD Monitor (P2815Q) offers 3840*2160 resolution with 30Hz refresh rate, which may be enough for movies and is definitely enough for productivity applications, but is barely sufficient for gamers who want to have 60Hz refresh rate (which is only supported in 1920*1080 resolution). The display features anti-glare TN panel technology that supports 30-bits colour depth (1.073 billion colours), 5ms response time and 300cd/m2 brightness. The monitor features DisplayPort/mDP v1.21 and HDMI 1.4/MHL 2.0 inputs as well as integrated USB 3.0 hub.
Initial 4K monitors from Sharp, Asustek Computer, Dell and other brands include 23.8", 28", and 31.5" sizes. With many 4K monitors smaller than 30" launching in 2014, 27" is expected to be the average 4K monitor display size.
"During CES Lenovo, LGE, and Samsung all made 4K monitor announcements, and we can expect several more from other brands this year, as well," Himuro said. "Sharp, Innolux, LGD, AUO, and Samsung will be the leading 4K monitor panel suppliers in 2014."
The majority (56%) of 4K monitor demand in 2014 will come from advanced regions, like Japan, North America, and Western Europe.

Man of Steel trailer 2
I'm conflicted. I like a lot of Snyder's imagery, but some of the scenes they show are borderline baffling. Hopefully they better suit the character and the story when seen in context.
So... cautiously optimistic?
Re: Man of Steel trailer 2
After seeing the second trailer a few weeks back I'm extremely excited to see this new revival of Superman. They seem to have captured the struggle between who he is (a super powered alien that could literally dominate the earth by himself) and who he was raised to be (a human being). The scene where he is being escorted reflects this and made me smile, it shows EXACTLY how this kind of scenario would play out, and how a being like Superman would most likely handle such situation (allowing them to restrain him so that they gain trust in him and know that he is there to help)...it also speaks towards our own paranoid approach to pretty much everything (which makes the line between Superman and human even more pronounced).
The old movies never really captured this properly...they were more focused on the star (Christopher Reeves) and the special effects of the time (which were mind blowing in that era). They could never really give you that struggle for superman because the stories, unfortunately, were pretty shallow. This looks much deeper...and why would anyone expect something other than that when Christopher Nolan is involved.
I'm so excited, i can hardly wait!

Re: Man of Steel trailer 2
I think there are only two options with this movie - it will be either a knockout or a complete failure in both tone and execution. I am very curious to see how it ends up and whether Snyder can make this more than nice to look at. Visually it will be stunning - there is no doubt about that. What worries me is the quality of the screenplay and the characters and how they translate to the screen.
The Dark Knight Rises was a huge letdown for me, let's see if Nolan can do better as a producer here. The combination with Snyder as director is very intriguing. The question is, will this work? But I do love the tone and the camera work they are showing here. It has a certain atmosphere that will be very interesting to see if they can maintain through out the whole movie.
Re: Man of Steel trailer 2
All that said, I think that Nolan will guide Snyder to make this another epic reboot...you can almost tell from the latest trailer that the film is going to touch on character elements you rarely see in "super hero" films, just like Nolan did with the dark knight, there's more development here, and not so much "candy" (for lack of better term). I think that is also why so many thought the dark knight rises to be the worst of the 3 films, it essentially stopped the development of the characters because it was the end, you didn't learn anything else about Bruce Wayne, and to me, that is what made the first two films epic.
The first Superman film should follow the development pattern, and i think it will be very successful doing so.

Re: Man of Steel trailer 2
TDKR was such a mess, I'm actually amazed that Nolan was capable of producing something so inferior - to any of his films. It's his worst movie IMO and I believe repeated viewings will only accentuate that over time. The film has so many problems, plot holes, inconsistencies... Argh, I better not start with that, cause I only get frustrated thinking about it...
The problem that I see with Man of Steel is simple - Superman is not Batman. You can't apply the same techniques that you used to tell a Batman story to tell the one about Superman. They are cardinally different characters and you have to approach them that way. Take The Avengers for example - it's a completely different take than Nolan used for Batman. But in the context of the story they were telling it worked wonderfully. I do hope that they find the right angle for Superman. It all lies on the shoulders of Snyder. I think this will be a tipping point in his career - he has the chance to really prove himself here as a director. I really hope he succeeds. As Rene said, I'm cautiously optimistic.
Re: Man of Steel trailer 2
Time will tell obviously, but i think they have another great series here and can't wait to see it.

Man of Steel trailer 2
I was worried that 'The Amazing Spider-Man' would have killed the whole franchise period, but it ended up being pretty good.
Here's hoping Superman can comply, too!

There's an old folk tale that if your hair is all tangled when you get up in the morning it is because you made the fairies angry and they came and tied your hair all in knots during the night. Makes sense to me.
I can just see a little girl with long blond hair and her mother trying to get the knots out while telling her, "Well, you shouldn't have gotten run around in the garden and made the fairies mad."
This photo is of my mother doing her grandmother Nellie Martin's hair. I wonder who enjoyed it more. The funny thing is her sister, Marie, standing to her right became a beautician. The smells of a beauty parlor still take me back to her salon in the tiny town of Minneloa, Kansas. It was on the street behind their house and I can even picture the path worn from their back door to the salon.

MAC N Collection - Haul and Tutorial
So as you all know, the N Collection was released at MAC on Thursday. It's been on my calendar for a while, and of course I ran and got it the day of!
In my head, I planned on just getting the mineralized skin finishes since these are always limited edition sell out items. Instead, I walked out with a whole haul, lol. Nonetheless, at least I have a good little break in between the next collection...Fafi, woo hoo!
Usually I favor super bright funky eyeshadows...like the C-Shock collection...however, we all need to try different things. It's a good thing too if you can feel comfortable wearing both bright and natural looks...after all makeup should be a tool of enhancement, not a mask (unless you're into theatrical/fx makeup).
If you have neutral eyeshadows the ones in this collection are probably very similar...I just got 4 of the collection eyeshadows because I wanted to put a look together. This look also really looks good with clean eyebrows and a nicely contoured face. I also love the lip colors...with a lipliner, lipstick, and lipglass all together...you get a perfect nude lip reminiscent of Kim Kardashian.
In the first video I showed you all the products of the haul...in the second, I put a nude/natural look together using the collection and a few other products.

super fantabulous! i love this! i passed on most of the shadows, but of course you do a gorgeous look and i feel like my neutrals that i already own aren't good enough. i need to add to the collection! darn you ren for making pretty looks!
@ sandy k: they look almost identical in the pot, but they are oh so different. light flush is magical in that it is a pigmented pink with an orange- iridescence! northern lights is pink-ish on it's own, but compared to light flush, it is a more subtle peach tinted color. hth!

Filmmaking — Stop-Motion to Bring Curriculum to Life
Stop-motion has long been used to entertain children and adults on television and in the movies. Think back to Gumby or the cute Christmas specials, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and The Year Without a Santa Claus. All of those were done by using the stop-motion technique of filming. This year my kindergarten class has been interested in stop-motion. We are currently in the process of creating a stop-motion movie to learn about plants using candy. Click to read more about stop-motion and see some student examples of how this exciting filmmaking technique can be used in the classroom.
What Is Stop-Motion?
Stop-motion is a type of filmmaking that takes ordinarily inanimate objects and animates them. How, you may ask? By taking a digital photo, slightly moving the object, and then taking another photo. After continuing this process and putting all the photos together, your objects will appear to move right in front of your eyes! You may be more familiar with claymation, which is the same technique of filming, but uses clay to create objects. Read more about stop-motion in Wikipedia.
Take a quick peek at a clip from my kindergarten class' candy tree stop-motion video:
The students were able to work together to finish all the photos to grow an apple tree and go through the seasons in one school day. This technique was a perfect way to have students show the small changes that happen over a period of time when growing a tree as well as the changes a tree goes through each season. We are excited to continue work on this video and post it when we are ready.
What You Need to Do Stop-Motion in Your Classroom
Stop-motion is an engaging type of filmmaking that really doesn't need much. If you have a digital camera or Webcam, a computer, some objects to animate, and software, you can start creating. You are able to use any filmmaking software including FREE ones such as Movie Maker and iMovie. Some other great software for stop-motion are Pinnacle Studio 14 (includes a great new stop-motion feature) and Frames by Tech4Learning. My class is currently using both programs, but the videos in this blog post are made with Pinnacle Studio 14.
Suggestions for Using Stop-Motion or Claymation in the Classroom
As my students started experimenting more with stop-motion, we came up with many ways this technique could be used in the classroom. We are actually thinking of rearranging our classroom to keep the stop-motion center set up so the students could use it for many other projects.
Take a look at this math addition story a few of my students created:
Here are a few other great uses of stop-motion:
- Retell a story
- Reenact a historical moment
- Bring student writing to life with biography projects
- Math word problem solving
- Math computation demonstrations
- Show science experiments and science concepts, for example, the water cycle
- Practice a foreign language
A Final Reflection About Filmmaking With Students
Students learn so much from any type of filmmaking. It is inspiring to see how even your most distracted kid or struggling student will be so involved in the production. Even at a young age students are able to create amazing work when given the chance. They learn to collaborate and be creative. Along with all of the content areas that your movie is addressing comes a lot more social and academic learning that you might not expect, but will be delighted to see. Remember to let the students lead and take responsibility for their film. With a little guidance and patience, not only will you have an amazing movie, but you will have caring, motivated, and creative students with a strong grasp of the academic content.
Take a look at these resources for some ideas and video clips from students:

If you are using stop-motion or claymation in your classroom or you would like to give it a try, we would love to hear from you!
Download CameraMountInst to get materials and instructions created by Evan Foote to make our stop-motion Webcam stand. It costs about $18 to create!
April, I hope you had a chance to look at my series of posts on filmmaking with students. Even at the young age in kindergarten, students can create great movies with amazing learning. The learning that takes place when making a movie is unbelievable! Please let me know if you need any assistance! Smiles, Megan
Jenny, I have just attached the directions to the bottom of the post. Thanks for the reminder!!! Smiles, Megan
Has Evan been able to get your the directions for the PVC pipe stop motion frame yet? I am eager to create one for my classroom use. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this blog!! I love it. I too teach kindergarten and would love to start incorporating movies into the instruction. I look forward to learning more about how you do it.
Monica, Thank you for the comment and the link. I have started looking at your blog and I am excited to start following it! Smiles, Megan
Joy, Thank you! We are loving stop motion as well. My students and I keep coming up with so many ways to use it in the classroom. We are now going to move the setup to be more perminate in my classroom. Because of your comment I have started a series on how to create video with students. Each week I will take you through some steps to assist you in your classroom. Please continue to check back and let me know any questions. The webcam is attached to the PVC pipe. My wonderful friend Evan Foote, who created this for me, is writing up directions with measurements and photos to show how to build one. I will go into student involvement in several of the posts further, but here is a quick answer. For bigger movies students select a section to work on. Within each section each student has a job- director, cinematographer, movers. They need to work together and each job is extremely important. I have video of students doing this that I will be sharing soon. Smiles, Megan
I love your blog. I really an inspired to use technology and I love the ideas on you blog. One way I have been exploring technology is I have just started my first blog at http://schroederpage.blogspot.com/ I am doing a give away would love it if you would follow me. I also have launched a teacher resource webiste at www.theschroederpage.com There is also a link to my blog there and a write up about me on www.teachlikearockstar.com. Thank you in advance for your support:)
I LOVE this!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Would you be able to explain more how the kids are involved? How do you include ALL the students in your class? Did you attach a camera to the PVC pipe? I would really like to implement this in my class before the end of the year. :) Thank you again for sharing! :)

I have spoken to Ardi previous, and I know of his dedication to making excellent Kombucha,I am so pleased that IHERB carries his product. I would like to make a suggestion that I-Herb consider adding the 64 OZ half gallon size to offerings, I know many people here would order that size often. Thanks

Kids love it! Maybe too much...
By 3littlepeoplelearning
from Baton Rouge, LA
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children
I bought this to use in our homeschooling. I was sad to see Pluto wasn't included, though it was disclosed in the description. It worked straight out of the box. Busy moms LOVE that! My 5 and 4 year olds were very interested in it, but my 23 month old went crazy over it! Keep toddlers away! The voice prompts won't continue if another planet gets pressed. This frustrated my 4yo who wanted to hear the information, but I couldn't keep my 23 month old from stomping across it and touching all the planets over and over. We'll play with this when the little one is napping!

A big hit with kids
By Mike
from Pittsburgh, PA
About Me First Time Parent
At the Public Star Parties and Educational Outreach events that our astronomy club hosts, planets are always a popular target for telescopes. Kids especially love to see the cloud bands of Jupiter, and I have yet to meet someone who isn't blown away by seeing the Rings of Saturn with their own eyes. So when I set up this Planetary Mat recently for a group of kids, it was an instant hit.The Mat itself is glossy plastic and well constructed. I've had it out on sidewalks, concrete floors, and bare ground and aside from some scuff marks has come through with flying colors. The scale is also one tough customer. Like any scale, it does require a hard, flat surface or else it doesn't measure weights very accurately. Soft carpets and grass don't work very well. The kids at our events loved the missions, and it became a game to see who could guess what each child would weigh on a specific planet. The narration by Neil deGrasse Tyson is well done. The sound bites are easy to understand, and several children immediately recognized his voice from the recent Cosmos series reboot. Even when we're not at a star party, my daughter loves to set this up and pretend she's an astronaut travelling through the solar system. All I have to do is turn it on, and she knows how to do the rest.If you have a child that loves space, or want them to learn, you'll love this mat!

Citizens Have Power To End Washington Crisis
To The Reader's Forum:
In a CNN poll, completed after the end of the recent shutdown, just over half of the American public believe that it's bad for our country to have GOP control in the House of Representatives. The survey also indicated only 12 percent of the people approve of the job that Congress is doing. Both Republicans and Democrats as well as the Administration should pause and take seriously the reactions of Americans concerning the shutdown and the debt crisis.
As citizens, we must give serious thought as to how we can help to end the crisis of confidence and dysfunction with our elected officials.
Is there a way out to end this dark period in our government's history? Yes! We the American public must speak out forcibly and repeatedly to make our opinions known. We must counteract the strong influences of political organizations who work behind the scenes in order to pressure our elected officials while spending on the effort obscene amounts of money and attempting to avoid transparency.
The plan of action? Demand that Congress and the Administration : 1) lower the fiery rhetoric; 2) work together in good faith with people on both sides of the aisle and the Administration; 3) legislate responsibly and seek solutions to difficult and complex problems; 4) find common ground; 5) make compromises; and 6) get the job done! Congress should take as an example the small group of women in Congress (supported by a few men) who requested that Congress work together and develop a plan of action to work on those problems facing all of us.
We should recognize and applaud those in Congress and the Administration who do follow the above plan of action. Notify them of your approval.
At the same time, we should loudly condemn and use the power of the ballot box to remove from office those in the Congress and the Administration who refuse to work together to solve problems. The American people do not want our government to lurch from crisis to crisis in the future.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (102 votes).
In full: This was easily the hardest HM I have ever done. The first three miles could knock the stuffing out of some runners, and there was little time to rest on the harsh descents. The rest of the race consisted of more steep ascents and descents and only steadied off in the final run back to the finish line.However, the scenery was incredible, which made this a really special race for me. A massive well done to Buxton AC, especially the marshals of which there were many and they were all very supportive and encouraging.Date of review: May 25, 2009
In short: very tough, but beautiful scenery on a glorious dayDate of review: May 25, 2009
In short: Hardest race you will ever do! But the scenery is magnificent. If the wetahe was bad it would not have been so wonderfullDate of review: May 25, 2009
In short: Toughest run for me so far but great feeling at the finish line!In full: Tough route combined with very high temperatures. Beautiful scenery, great atmospher and lots of friendly runners made this a great day for me!Date of review: May 25, 2009
In short: Was apprehensive beforehand but then loved every minute!In full: I was a bit nervous about the hills but they weren't as bad as I expected, although the heat did take its toll. The scenery was breath-taking and the atmosphere was very friendly with lots of people turning out to cheer you on. Will definitely be back next year.Date of review: May 25, 2009
In short: Challenging, but worth it!!!In full: Good organisation, great atmosphere, wonderful scenery, sunburnt to hell. The uphill sections are moderate but not too bad. See you next year!Date of review: May 25, 2009
In short: felt tougher because of the heat this year..In full: great race always enjoyed it,albiet quite a toughy,but the heat/sun got to me this year too and lost time , still, great race ,good atmosphere,lots of ups and downs,and thank god for the ice cream van at the finish line..!Date of review: May 25, 2009
In short: Awesome scenery, loved itIn full: Highly recommend this to anyone. Make sure that you have done plenty of hill work, up and down, before hand. Absolutely loved it.Date of review: May 25, 2009
In short: you feel proud when you've "done buxton"In full: very warm race.normally it rains and blows.hilly race with the second climb and a few miles after are tuff.still reckon its harder then eyam.felt like the second water station could off been closer,maybe just the heat kicking in.hope the chap was ok at the end .Date of review: May 24, 2009

Homeland of judo gets Beijing jitters
BEIJING (AP) Questioning the prowess of Japan's Olympic judo team is like insulting the beauty of Mount Fuji.
Four years ago, Japan won a record eight gold medals in Athens and six members of the team now in Beijing have already stood atop the podium.
Maybe it's the pressure - the responsibility of upholding the national honor on the international stage - but the team that is the pride of Japan is hardly brimming with confidence.
"You never know what will happen," Maki Tsukada, the 2004 women's heavyweight gold medalist, said Thursday. "My priorities are really just to fight each fight. You can't think about what's going to happen in the finals. You have to get there first."
Defending champion or not, Tsukada is an underdog.
China's Tong Wen, who has won six straight world championships, is where most of the spotlight is focused, especially considering the hometown backing she will have once the judo competition gets going Saturday.
In fact, the judo medal-winner pool is all over the place.
Brazil is right up there, and so is Cuba. In teenager Teddy Riner, France has the favorite in the men's heavyweight class. The United States has its first real shot at women's gold from middleweight Ronda Rousey, who won the silver at last year's world championships. Even reclusive North Korea is fielding a woman who could well outclass Japan's entry.
The Japanese would prefer not to talk about that.
"Results are what count," said team leader Kazuo Yoshimura. "I think that we have an excellent team, and I'm sure that they will come through."
Ryoko Tani, the star of the team, acknowledged that getting off to a good start will make a big difference.
Tani, who won gold in Sydney and Athens and took two silvers before that, will be fighting on the first day of the competition, when the extra-lightweights take the mat. Japan has vowed to win both golds being contested that day.
"We got off well in Athens, and that helped," Tani said. "I'm hoping to give the team a little momentum boost."
But the once-invincible Tani, now 33, has perhaps seen better years herself.
After North Korea's Kye Sun Hui broke her 84-match winning streak in 1996, she has come through in most big tournaments, but has devoted much more of her energies to pursuits outside the ring.
She is married to a pro baseball player, is one of Japan's top sports celebrities, and is competing in her first Olympics since having a son three years ago.
She qualified for the games on the merit of having won last year's world championships, when Japan won a low of only three golds. But, in April, she was unable to win the Japan national title.
Still, Tani said the extras in her life have added to her determination.
"I am just beginning to understand how powerful motherhood is," she said. "I think it is making me stronger."
Her outlook on the competition is pretty much the same as that of the Japan team itself.
"There are rivals from all over the world watching for an opening," she said. "I don't know if I could single out just one. If I did, I guess I would have to say it is me."

I was delighted to find their excellent web site for the first time. I was in need of some supplies before NY Eve and they gave the order special attention and got me the goods when I needed them. It was excellent service supported by individual attention from the head of the Federation.
Extra-emely great service. Will continue to get products from them.
Thanks for the prompt service and quality selections. I built a handmade shuffleboard table, and needed a good source for accessories, you guys are it, for sure. Thanks again...
I submitted my order and received it in two days. I can't complain about the service I received.
Way out here in Hawaii, I expected the order to take weeks for the Shuffleboard Federation to complete - even though I had commented that I would pay extra for other than the ground based delivery services that were assumed. Imagine my delight when within days I had received my rather modestly priced order!

Topic: Multiple HABTM Model Associations
Hi all
I am having some trouble with my model associations. I have 3 main models. The application is not centered around a single one, but all of them. It is a sort of love triangle. This has made it a little hard for me, because I do not have one starting point. For instance, a Company has many Projects, but each Project has many companies working on it. I am trying to decide between has_many :through and habtm. Whenever I see justification for has_many :through, there is always a good joiner table. I can't find one here though. Associated? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, if anyone knows of an example of something like this somewhere, I would love to take a look at it!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 13, 2012) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal is set to compete on Saturday in the semifinals of the smart Grand Slam Berlin, part of the 2012 FIVB SWATCH World Tour.
On the women's side, Jen Kessy and April Ross along with Lauren Fendrick and Brittany Hochevar advanced to Saturday's single-elimination bracket.
Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), seeded No. 3 in Berlin, are coming off back-to-back wins in Rome and Gstaad. They will represent the U.S. at the 2012 Olympic Games along with Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Calif.) and Todd Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.).
The two Olympic-bound teams went head-to-head in the second round of single-elimination play on Friday.
Gibb and Rosenthal defeated the No. 2-seeded Dalhausser and Rogers, 18-21, 23-21, 15-10 in 1 hour, 1 minute.
Dalhausser and Rogers ended their run at Berlin in ninth place.
Gibb and Rosenthal battled through their third-round match, tallying a win over Germany's No. 16-seeded Klemperer and Koreng, 22-24, 21-17, 15-10 in 59 minutes.
"That was a big win for us," Gibb said in an FIVB press release. "For the last three years we have always gone three (sets) with them and it is always a battle right to the end. They beat us last week in Gstaad, so this was a big one for us."
Gibb and Rosenthal are slated to face Poland's Grzegorz Fijalek and Mariusz Prudel (No. 15) in Saturday's semifinal match.
The other semifinal match will pit the No. 1-seeded Brazilian team of Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego against the Netherlands' eighth-seeded Reinder Nummerdor and Richard Schuil.
On the women's side, Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.), seeded fourth at Berlin, concluded pool play with a win over Germany's No. 13-seeded Karla Borger and Britta Buthe 21-18, 21-16 in 39 minutes.
Kessy and Ross earned a first-round bye in single elimination.
On Saturday, the Olympic-bound duo will face Germany's seventh-seeded Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig in the second round of single elimination.
The third round of single elimination is also slated for Saturday.
Fendrick (Carlsbad, Ind.) and Hanson (Ventura, Calif.), seeded No. 17, closed pool play with a loss to Germany's Victoria Bieneck and Julia Grobner (No. 32), 21-14, 22-20 in 33 minutes. The duo advanced to the first round of single elimination and tallied a win over Austria's Schwaiger and Schwaiger, 21-19, 21-18 in 35 minutes.
"It has finally happened," Hanson said in an FIVB press release. "We haven't had a lot of success this year. We've had a whole lot of 17th-place finishes. That team always plays us really tough and they are always good matches, so we're really glad to be still in the tournament."
On Saturday, Fendrick and Hanson are slated to face Brazil's No.1-seeded Angela Vieira and Liliane Maestrini in the second round of single elimination.
Summer Ross (San Diego, Calif.), making her debut on the FIVB tour, and Nicole Branagh (Orinda, Colo.) received the No. 25 at Berlin. They closed pool play with a win over Poland's Kinga Kolosinska and Monika Brzostek (No. 24), 21-10, 19-21, 15-13 in 45 minutes.
The victory earned Ross her first playoff appearance on the FIVB tour after two days of competition.
Ross and Branagh suffered a first-round loss to Russia's 15th-seeded Anastasia Vasina and Anna Vozakova, 27-25, 21-13 in 41 minutes. The duo finished their run at Berlin in 17th place.
Angie Akers (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and Brittany Hochevar (Fowler, Colo.), seeded No. 21, lost their final pool-play match to the Russian's 28th-seeded Evgenia Ukolova and Ekaterina Khomyakova (No. 32) 21-13, 21-19 in 35 minutes.
Akers and Hochevar did not advance to the single-elimination bracket and finished their run at Berlin in 25th place.

More:Information on Japan's Earthquake and Tsunamis | How You Can Help | Travel-Related and Contact Information | For concerns about a specific U.S. citizen in Japan, email email@example.com.
On March 16, 2011, Under Secretary of State Pat Kennedy and Deputy Energy Secretary Dan Poneman held a special briefing on the situation in Japan. Under Secretary Kennedy said:
"As a result of the tragic earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan on March 11th, the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant were badly damaged and have experienced a series of failures that pose a serious hazard in the vicinity of the plant and a potential health hazard to a broader region.
"The United States continues to support the strenuous and heroic effort by Japanese responders to address this nuclear emergency and is making available all relevant expertise, assets, equipment, and technology at our disposal. Our commitment to our Japanese ally is unshakable, and as President Obama said, we stand by the Japanese people in this time of trial.
"Despite the best efforts of responders, the situation remains very serious. Given the situation, we recommended the evacuation of American citizens to at least 50 miles, in keeping with the guidelines applied in the United States. Since the continued or increased release of windborne radioactive material cannot be ruled out, American citizens in Japan are advised to take prudent precautions against potentially dangerous exposure. As a general matter, residents in areas further from Fukushima Prefecture face less risk of significant exposure, but changing weather conditions and wind direction means that radiation levels in the future might become elevated.
"The Department of State urges American residents in Japan to take prudent precautions against the risk of sustained exposure, including relocating for potentially affected areas in northeastern Japan. The Department of State has authorized the voluntary departure, including relocation to safe areas within Japan, for family members and dependents of U.S. Government officials who wish to leave northeast Japan. The U.S. Government is also working to facilitate the departure of private American citizens from the affected areas -- that is a 50-mile radius of the reactor -- and a Travel Warning containing detailed information has been issued at www.travel.state.gov.
"All Embassy, consulate, and other U.S. Government operations continue and are unaffected by this action. The Department of Defense has confirmed that U.S. military services and operations also continue without interruption. U.S. disaster relief and humanitarian assistance teams continue to assist the Japanese authorities throughout the area affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
"American citizens are encouraged to carefully monitor the www.travel.state.gov website and the associated guidance that it provides."

an useless serum
Posted by sabama on Apr 14, 2014
This serum doesn´t moisturize the skin at all. After applaying it is instantly absorbed not giving any moistening or refreshing. I had been using it for several months, hoping for a remote improvment of thin lines around my eyes (I am 35 years old), but unfortunately, that had not occured.
Swelling and irritation

Chimpanzees can live from 40 to 60 years. (Goodall, 1986; Jones et al., 1996; Napier and Napier, 1985; Nowak, 1999)

A variety of ailments trouble chimpanzees in natural habitats, and affect survivorship and longevity. Respiratory diseases, such as colds and coughs, seem prevalent during the rainy season. Gastrointestinal problems, such as diarrhea, peritonitis, and enteritis have been seen and can be lethal, especially in young or very old chimps. Skin ulcers and osteoarthritis have affected some chimpanzees. One chimpanzee at Gombe had a goiter. Abcesses of various sorts have been seen, as have rashes, fungal diseases, and parasitic infections. Even human diseases may sometimes affect wild chimpanzees. A polio epidemic in local human populatons devastated the chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in 1966, killing some and leaving many chimpanzees partially paralyzed.

In addition to disease, injuries are an important source of infections and can lead to mortality in chimpanzees. Injuries may be sustained during falls, or as a result of aggressive interactions within groups or among neighboring groups. (Goodall, 1986)

I got the oven up to 640º. Here's the first pie hitting the oven.
I was told that gas produces a "moist heat "? If that is so,then I assume this would be a benefit if you want to use your oven for baking Bread etc,but detrimental if your focus is purely Pizza.
To my surprise (or possibly I'm under some Pizza induced drug ?) I found that the pizza cooked at the highest temperature had the most pronounced salty flavour and also the best texture/crisp/chewey balance of the three.
I wasn't so much surprised at the texture issue,more of how the flavors seemed to come through.I really didn't expect a 100 degree difference to have such an impact on the flavor.It is the first time I've done a side by side comparrison so really never noticed before.I just did a margerita for my ife and she concludes that it is the best i've made to date.Maybe it's time to splash out on the buffala!Thinking of which ..............have you ever considered a share in a Water Buffalo?I know they do it with racehorses!

Ed Sheeran on One Direction's Little Things: 'It's got one of my favourite lines I've ever written'
We don't know about you but all this waiting around to hear One Direction's new single Little Things has got us feeling like we've got a severe case of ants in the pants.
But luckily, having penned the track back when he was a mere whippersnapper of a 17-year old, Ed Sheeran has all the inside info on what we've got to look forward to. HURRAH!
From what he's had to say, our assumption that the track would be an in depth description of 1D's own Little Things may have been a little off base, but it still sounds pretty good.
Dropping in on Capital FM's James Barr, Ed explained how the track came into being, saying: "The great thing about it is I wrote that song with a girl called Fiona Bevan when I was 17 and we lost the song.
"I've kept in touch with Fiona, we've done gigs and stuff and about two months ago she sent me the tune and was like 'oh, do you remember this?'.
"I was like 'Yeh, I do remember that', and I was in the studio with the One Direction boys at the time and I was playing it and they were like 'we really like that'."
"It was one of five songs that I gave to them which made the album. There's another one on there as well," he added.
"I think they just wanted to try something different. I think they did the same formula with the last single – it sounded like a One Direction song – and now I think they want to switch it up a bit."
"It's got one of my favourite lines that I've ever written in a song," he continued.
"Harry says, 'I know you never like the sound of your voice on tape and you never like to know how much you weigh and you still have to squeeze into your jeans but you're perfect to me'."
Then he actually SANG a bit of it. Check it out..
JESUS ED, what are you trying to do to us?
Wave goodbye to your ovaries gal pals.

Today is day nine of the government shutdown and currently there is little optimism in Washington that an agreement will be reached to end the stalemate. While many are focusing on the unpopularity of ObamaCare, or as the White House claims, Republicans are using the budget to hold funding for the new health care law hostage; however there is an even more important factor that requires our attention: Lawmakers need to get control of our budget.
In The Washington Post, Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is calling for bipartisan negotiations. Republican Congressman and former Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan called for a grand bipartisan bargain in The Wall Street Journal yesterday.
In his op-ed, Cantor quotes James Madison on divided power in Federalist No. 48. In Federalist No. 58 Madison offers these thoughts,
The House of Representatives can not only refuse, but they alone can propose the supplies requisite for the support of Government. They, in a word, hold the purse; that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the People gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the Government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon, with which any Constitution can arm the immediate Representatives of the People, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.

Accused Mount Ashland Sabotuer Arrested
Mountain bikers believe a man arrested by a Forest Service officer is the person responsible for sabotaging trails on Mount Ashland with ropes and fallen logs, causing crashes. The owner of Ashland Mountain Adventures, Bill Roussel, told the Mail Tribune he spotted the man early Sunday just before he ran into a log dragged across the trail. He encountered other logs that were apparently placed to obstruct mountain bikers.
Roussel says he has seen the older man with a white beard and a small white poodle at least four times before. He wouldn't respond to greetings but would just stand there and glare. Roussell called the Forest Service, and an officer arrested a man. Spokesman Paul Galloway confirmed an arrest, but wouldn't comment on the case.

If the combs are sealed properly...It should....
PDB killed SHB for me but the concentration is higher than wax moths to be effective. BT just makes them laugh while they are eating.
BT is specific to Lepidoptera
So I guess I'm saying beware. Wax moths are not your only problems with stored supers. Altho I hate doing so, I don't think I'll store supers again without using PDB. Drawn comb is just too valuable and there is just no sure way of knowing that SHB (or their eggs) are not already in them.

Why use PDB when it is really difficult to air the comb long enough/well enough when you want to give it back to the bees. 24 hours in the freezer deals efficiently with wax moth and I'm fairly sure that SHB would seccumb as well.
May you live long and prosper,

I have put PDB stored combs onto a hive after airing it out for less than an hour without any problems. Rather air it out for 24 hours but sometimes you need a super right away!

Vinegar report
Posted by Reviewer2720186 on Mar 17, 2009
Read the testimony of Bragg's organic raw apple-cider vinegar in Mary Janes Farm. Hoping for same results. Vinegar is vinegar, but I have heard of its benefits down through the years. Figured organic would be a plus.
Good quality, good price
Posted by energetyx on Nov 03, 2011
This is much better quality than anything I can get in my supermarket or health food stores, at a fraction of the price. However, Eden Foods Organic Apple Cider Vinegar looks even better so I'll try that next time.
Great Stuff!
Posted by Reviewer2774490 on May 05, 2013
Love it! Does its job for both skincare and internal health. I subtract one star only because I find "the mother" to be somewhat clumpier than in other brands I've tried. But it is a top notch product, and can't beat the price!
Very beneficial

Started using ACV after alot of research for acne, natural tonic and general well being. I am very pleased with the product. My skin (hands) are very smooth and silky feeling. I did not contract the flu for months while taking it which was a very stressful uni semester. I stopped for 3 days (due to complacency and I got a really bad version of the flu, which had me down for 2 weeks). I began again and I the flu dried up in a matter of 3-6 days. Haven't lost any weight - but then again I'm slender and wasn't looking to lose any. I've been taking this for 4-5 months. Method: 2 tbsp ACV with 4tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp honey in 25 oz water I take this amount every morning before breakfast Oh I use a straw so my teeth are protected. hope this helps.
Posted by 5230275702358035923 on Sep 21, 2013
I've used this product before, and it seemed to have noticeably more Mother at the bottom than this batch. It doesn't burn going down, and I mix it with tea and Manuka to keep the sour factor to a minimum. I'm keeping my weight down, and suspect this is an important part of the reason why.
Awesome price, good product..needs a different bottle...
Posted by alleyappletree on Sep 25, 2013
Love this apple cider vinegar, however I think the company needs to start packaging their apple cider vinegar in a darker bottle, as this keeps it for longer. Otherwise, a great product and I buy it often!

Conversations about economic development often gravitate toward such topics as monetary policy, trade regulation, tax structures, infrastructure, etc. These are critical pieces of the puzzle indeed, but there exist even more primary components of prosperity that are often skipped over.
In our interview with Samuel Gregg, director of research at the Acton Institute, he lists a few of the foundational elements of growth:
Rule of law is essential if you want to have a functioning economy. You cannot have a functioning economy without secure property rights. You cannot have a functioning economy unless contracts are enforced. You cannot have a functioning economy if government officials can act in an arbitrary fashion.
The Property Rights Alliance, a Washington D.C.-based think tank, publishes research concerning private property and rule of law. Earlier this month, the organization released its annual 2013 International Property Rights Index (IPRI), which measures the intellectual and physical property rights of 131 nations from around the world, representing 98% of world GDP.
The 2013 IPRI represents the seventh edition of the index and focuses on three core components:
- Legal and Political Environment
- Physical Property Rights
- Intellectual Property Rights
Countries received a score (on a scale of 0 – 10, where 10 is the highest value for a property rights system and 0 is the lowest value) in each of these areas; those scores were then averaged to calculate the "IPRI score." The countries receiving the top five IPRI scores were Finland, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands. The United States claimed the 17th spot.

Hands-on Fractions
By Happy
from SLO, CA
About Me Education Oriented
We have used this product as intended, game format, as well as free time exploration. My first graders can even build "1 whole" and tell me how many parts make up the whole. It is engaging either way!
Very Good to Have
By Chris Mathematics Teacher
from Erie, PA
What a fun game!! This is one of the cleverest ways I have ever seen for teaching the concepts of fractions. As the students play they talk about equivalent fractions, adding fractions, even reducing and comparing them. I have always been a fan of games in the classroom. They provide an excellent way to develop the understanding of concepts through inquiry… provided of course the games are unique, engaging, and mathematically sound in process and content. Fraction Formula definitely meets these three criteria. The parts are big and bold, not easily lost, and are very dimensional, which is a huge asset when it comes to teaching. The instructions are easy to read and figure out, enough so that a group of children could grab the game and go. The playing of the game moves along fast enough to not bore children, but smooth enough to promote thoughtful interaction. From a classroom perspective this a good game to have on the shelf.
