Voters in a small Maine town unanimously rejected a proposal on Monday that would have required every household to own a firearm and ammunition.
More than 60 residents of Byron, Maine, packed into the tiny Coos Canyon Schoolhouse and quickly voted to make the symbolic measure the first order of business during the town's annual meeting.
After a brief discussion, residents elected to skip debate and vote. Not even Bruce Simmons, the resident who originally came up with the proposal, voted to support it.
Backers said the point of the measure, which was considered unenforceable, was to send a message to state and federal lawmakers trying to pass gun control laws.
"I feel we accomplished what we set out to do and I hope we will wake this town up," Simmons said. "We made a statement to the federal government that they can't take our guns away."
Selectman David Noyes, who told the group he opposed the requirement, said he was relieved the question was dispatched so quickly so the town of about 140 people could move on to other pressing matters.
Even if the measure had passed, Maine law bars municipalities from legislating on firearms.
The December shooting rampage that left 20 first-graders and six adults dead at a Connecticut elementary school has re-ignited the national debate over guns. In response, some states have been prompted to tighten gun laws, while other states have sought to keep federal gun measures from being applied within their borders.
Byron is not the only U.S. town to mull such a measure. Last week, selectmen in the Maine town of Sabattus, about 60 miles from Byron, voted against putting a similar proposal before town residents.
In Georgia, a city leader in Nelson has proposed an ordinance calling on every head of household to have a gun as a way to keep crime down in the city of 1,300 residents, which employs only a single police officer.
The Nelson city council is expected to vote on the gun ownership ordinance on April 1.

CENTER TOWNSHIP — A year after playing second fiddle at states, the Newtown Tropics left fans at First Commonwealth Field with no doubt that they deserved this year's tournament crown.
Newtown scored the game's last five runs to pull away from Upper Perkiomen for a 5-1 win in the Pennsylvania Youth American Legion baseball state championship game Wednesday afternoon. The state runner-up from a year ago and this year's West Lawn Eastern Regional tournament champ, the Tropics (39-3) won their first state title in team history.
Twin County League champ Upper Perkiomen (32-9), which made it to the state tournament for the first time since 1991, went 3-2 in the tournament.
"We had six guys that were on the team last year that experienced getting to that last game and not ending up on top," third-year Newtown manager Benjamin Battiste said. "I really think those guys came in this year with the new group of guys and really made them believe and really made them think it was possible."
With the game knotted 1-1 and the bases loaded in the top of the sixth, Newtown's Tyler Nowmos got hit by a Matt Schneider pitch to forcee in Jared Schram, giving the Tropics a 2-1 lead.
The following inning, Newtown used three hits, two stolen bases, a walk and a hit batsman to score three runs and take a 5-1 lead. Schram, Cole Hofmann and John Coppola each ripped RBI singles to fuel the rally.
"We just couldn't answer back today," third-year Upper Perkiomen manager Perry Breyer said. "They kept chewing away at us by getting a couple runs here and there. They put us in a bigger hole each inning that they scored. ... They were just the better team today. They were great."
Newtown went 5-0 in the tournament and bested the Braves twice. The Tropics outscored their five opponents 39-18.
"A lot of these guys are used to winning," Battiste said. "The core of this team — the 15-year-olds — were the last Newtown kids to make it to the Little League World Series. We've kept them together this whole time, plus we had some guys from different areas that came out and really completed this team. It really shows that we have some great feeders systems in Newtown."
Coppola and Hofmann each finished 2-for-4 for Newtown. In the tournament, Coppola went 8-for-16 with a double and two RBIs, and Hofmann finished 8-for-1 7 with three RBIs.
Matt Hand, the tournament's MVP and the game's winning pitcher, struck out one, walked one and allowed one hit in four innings to earn the win. Hand fanned four, walked two and allowed one earned run in 10 innings in the tournament.
Newtown's Brandon Shapiro garnered the tournament's outstanding pitcher award.
Shapiro struck out six, walked two and allowed one earned run in 10 innings.
Tom Aaron went 2-for-3 and drove in Upper Perkiomen's lone run.

well i had an 323ci which i sold just over a year ago to buy my current car, a Nissan Skyline R34 GTT (my fave car!).............due to change of work and the commute, me keeping the R34 is not economical and the running costs are very high......
Basically i am thinking of buying a E46 325 or 330 couple or vert. i have a couple of questions if i may:
1. if i want to increase the power on the E46 what is the best way to go about doing it without super charging it?
2. how does both compare on MPG?
3. is there a big difference between the facelift model and pre-face lift (apart from the slight appearance)?
4. can the m-sport bumpers be put on a pre-face lift model?
...........thanks in advance for your answers

text: just an idea for a little research. go to gunbroker and see what new and used are selling for then expect to get less as a trade in. how much less depends what you are trading for and how much wiggle room the dealer has. you'd do better to sell it out right unless you are in a hurry. just an simple opinion.


text: Got a question about the shape of the exhaust port holes on the kooks headers i just bought. They are " D " shaped like they should be on a LS7, that has 'D' shaped exhaust ports. I haven't had the chance to see the shape of the LSA exhaust port, but i'm assuming they are round like a LS3. If i use these headers and my heads have round ports, part of the port is going to be blocked off at the bottom, it just doesn't seem right. Has anyone else noticed this or are these the wrong headers for my 'V'. Any feed back on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What's good about Spotify?
Clearly the main thing is it is free: everyone's favourite price. But, more importantly, it's not just free, it gives the user freedom; freedom to enjoy all the music that's available without significant impediment. Linked to this is the speed of the service. In many respects it's faster to play music on Spotify than it is music stored locally, especially compared to iTunes on Windows, which is absolutely awful. Playlist sharing and collaborating are also prominent among its strong points and several websites have already popped-up dedicated to sharing playlist links.
Vitally, as yet at least, the advertising remains relatively unobtrusive and also quite effective. Though the audio clips are very similar to radio advertising, they can be targeted in a way that radio cannot. This is not only good for advertisers, it's also good for the user as you're not bombarded by random adverts that you're likely to have no interest in at all. Its light resource use and simple interface also enhances accessibility to the point that you can be comfortable of most of the functions within minutes.
What's bad about Spotify?
There are definitely areas where Spotify is a little rough around the edges, which is to be expected given it is still in Beta. Its similar artist suggestions, for instance, aren't always that helpful. How, exactly, are Fiona Apple and KT Tunstall similar to the Manic Street Preachers? This problem extends to the artists radios and generally the suggestions and recommendations Spotify comes up with aren't a patch on Last.fm. It's good to see, though, that scrobbling to Last.fm is supported.
Other bugs include tracks whose availability, regionally, appear to change without warning. Aside from this, the negatives of Spotify are largely based on what it can't do or doesn't have, which leads us on to...
What will make Spotify better?
Clearly there's a lot of scope for additional features, though the need to balance this against keeping the application light and simple is acute. More extensive artist information, lyrics and general trivia would go a long way to enriching the experience, while the aforementioned related artists issue definitely needs sorting out.
Beyond this there are plenty of tweaks that could be made, but the most natural progression would be the ability to buy tracks using Spotify. It's bound to happen since it would be madness if it isn't somewhere in Spotify's long term plans, but perfecting the buying experience and ensuring its music database is thorough and comprehensive will be key - as will a lack of DRM for that matter!
Perhaps even more important, though, is penetrating the burgeoning market for mobile music applications and we've already seen movement on this; there's an iPhone app already in the works as well as one for Symbian based handsets. This is a canny move on Spotify's account, especially given the success of Last.fm's own iPhone app.
Will Spotify succeed?
Arguably it has already in one sense, since it has generated enough positive press to attain more investment should it need it, but there's still a long way to go yet. Though its model of advertising is undoubtedly ingenious, this doesn't guarantee it to be one that can sustain the business. It's not as if there's no competition out there, either.
Napster, whom we covered in our music service round-up last year, offers a similar service at a cost, has a larger and more comprehensive library and also offers music for download. However, though we're keen on Napster's service, its streamed music is of a lower quality and it's slower. Fundamentally, though, if you're not willing to put up with adverts and are happy to pay, Napster remains the more mature service and costs no more.
One has to wonder, too, whether the likes of Last.fm and even Apple through iTunes might launch something to compete, though both seem to have been caught with their trousers down right now. Finally, successful as Spotify is up to this point, until it can launch into North America and remove the shackles of largely invitation only availability, we're still in the realm of ifs and buts. Nonetheless, the future is very bright indeed since, after nearly ten years since Napster (the original) kicked-off this period of change, we might have a service that truly understands its user's desires.

Dublin, Ireland – Covidien plc officials announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of its Apollo Onyx delivery micro catheter - the first detachable tip micro catheter available in the U.S. The new micro catheter is designed to mitigate the technical challenges of catheter retrieval during Onyx LES embolizations of brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs).
A bAVM occurs when a tangle of blood vessels in the brain or on its surface bypasses normal brain tissue and directly diverts blood from the arteries to the veins. Normally, arteries carry blood-containing oxygen from the heart to the brain, and veins carry blood with less oxygen away from the brain and back to the heart. According to the American Heart Association, bAVMs occur in approximately one in 200 to 500 people and are more common in males than in females.
"This new game-changing device will improve physicians' options for treating patients with bAVMs," said Dr. Alejandro Berenstein, director, Center for Endovascular Surgery at the Hyman-Newman Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai Health Systems in New York City. "The Apollo Onyx micro catheter provides a very important added safety mechanism for catheter retrieval during Onyx LES embolizations of bAVMs, permitting a more complete treatment in a much safer manner."
The Apollo Onyx micro catheter enables physicians to choose the best catheter position for each procedure. It provides optimal navigability through complex distal anatomy as well as a proprietary detachable tip designed for easier catheter retrieval in challenging environments.
"Covidien is offering a new level of confidence for physicians by providing the only detachable tip micro catheter in the U.S.," said Brett Wall, president, Neurovascular, Covidien. "The Apollo Onyx micro catheter has the potential to improve patient outcomes by safeguarding the neurovasculature during catheter retrieval."

It was a problem trying to choose which wonderful program I would purchase to begin my journey with this mind expanding site which has so many truly amazing and life changing programs. Obviously I chose the Problem solver and it is just that; a great solution to some of my vexing inner probing questions. Thank you Mind power!!Author: Michael Horsphol
This program is incredible. After two weeks or so of use, my mind starts to switch frequencies as soon as I start contemplating a problem.
I have begun to experience synchronicity every few days. For example, I am interested in a beautiful mate inside and outside.
Blam!!! One week later, while conducting business at lunch, one of the most beautiful women on the planet( no joke) walks in and gives me the eye. I knew I wasn't in mack mode but I couldn't let her pass me by. Smile. Wow!

Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
A handful of pecans, pan toasted and salted to taste
For the Maple Vinaigrette Dressing:
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons golden balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Place the quinoa in a saucepan or a rice cooker. Add 2 cups fresh water, and a pinch of sea salt. Cover and cook on a low simmer until all the water is evaporated and the quinoa is tender- roughly 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and dump it into a large salad bowl.
Add the baby spinach, pear, and chopped parsley to the quinoa and fluff.
Whisk together the vinaigrette, pour it over the quinoa salad and toss gently to coat. Season to taste with sea salt and ground pepper.
Just before serving, add the toasted pecans and lightly combine.

|AMD Phenom-II X4-965 BE 125W CPU HDZ965FBK4DGM
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Processors
|Written by Olin Coles
|Wednesday, 04 November 2009
Page 13 of 13
Black Edition Final Thoughts
It's not easy to sell your product when the competitions lowest-end processor matches up against your highest-end component... unless of course you throw in something that otherwise costs 500% more. Not having to pay $999.99 or more for the 'privilege' of owning an unlocked processor is something most overclockers will appreciate. Don't get me wrong, I imagine there are plenty of people out there with an Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition processor in their system (at least half of those people probably received theirs directly from Intel for review), it seems more likely that overclockers and hardware enthusiasts might rather enjoy the same thrill for around $200 or less.
It's been a long time since I actually got to sit down and overclock a modern processor by simply setting the voltage and clock multiplier. I sincerely miss the days when all processors were unlocked, and it was anybody's game. AMD was one of the first companies to bring CPU overclocking into the mainstream, partially because their original Athlon (socket A) processors were eating up Intel's Pentium 4 series clock for clock, and partially because they didn't cost as much. It helped that AMD etched fab and batch numbers right on the die, allowing overclockers to seek out the very best (and most tolerant) processors of the bunch. Now, once again, AMD is the underdog and fights the good fight for overclocking enthusiasts by offering a Black Edition processor at the exact same prices as Intel's lowest-end Core i5 mainstream CPU. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
At the beginning of this article I claimed that the AMD Phenom-II X4-965 BE processor is a true dichotomy: it offers unlocked overclocking potential while at the same time improving energy efficiency to conserve electricity. But there's actually another paradox brewing here: will AMD help the personal computer maintain its affordable open-ended technology for the every-man, or will Intel win out and have us all paying a premium for what was once a given? To what end will we accept $1000 'Extreme Edition' processors that offer no added enthusiast experience, when that same thing can be had for a fraction of the cost? At the end of the day, enthusiasts shouldn't allow the PC to become like the Apple Mac: an overpriced hardware clone with a proprietary recipe. But then again, perhaps that "Apple Tax" is really just another way for consumers to pay for that new locked-down Intel processor resting inside.
125W X4-965 Conclusion
Benchmark Reviews begins each conclusion with a short summary for each area that we rate. The first is performance, which considers how effective the 125W AMD Phenom-II X4-965 processor operated in relation to the closest price-point competition. While the synthetic benchmark tests were inconclusive and favored the X4-965 or i5-750 depending on the suite, but gaming performance was definitive. The difference was minor, but a 2-3 FPS advantage for the AMD X4-965 over the i5-750 in every game we tested was enough to prove the point.
AMD has done a great job refining the model HDZ965FBK4DGM AMD Phenom-II X4-965 BE 125W processor, even though the die is constructed with the same 45nm process as before. Functionality has actually improved with the new model, as GlobalFoundries FAB1 has added C1E implementation on the hardware level, and DDR3 is now supported at 1333MHz for 'Heavy' loads. Let's not forget the 'Black Edition' label, which unlocks the clock multiplier and allows for unrestricted overclocking beyond the 3.4GHz default speed. With a small voltage increase and a bump to the multiplier, Benchmark Reviews was able to reach 4.2GHz with ease.
As of early November 2009, the 140W version of AMD's Phenom-II X4-965 Black Edition sells for $195.99 at NewEgg. As of the 125W part launch (model HDZ965FBK4DGM), AMD expects that retailers will soon reduce their prices for existing 140W stock, allowing the 125W part to sell for the same price.
Synthetic benchmarks swayed back and forth between AMD and Intel, while Pro/ENGINEER 2001 CAD performance leaned heavy on the Core i5-750. This indicates that Intel offers a strong workstation processor, great for industrial applications. That's good news for the corporate environment, where engineering software will benefit. Enthusiasts aren't terribly worried about CAD/CAM performance, however. Video game frame rate performance unanimously favored the AMD Phenom-II X4-965 processor series in each of the gaming tests we conducted, and the unlocked Black Edition feature allowed for a rediculously simple overclock from 3.4 to 4.2GHz using standard air cooling. In summary, the new 125W version of the AMD Phenom-II X4-965 BE processor follows deep in the footsteps
+ Outperforms the Intel Core i5-750 in gaming frame rates
+ Unlocked processor allows unrestricted overclocking
+ Very low 125W TDP reduces heat output at idle and load
+ Socket AM3 and DDR3 1333 support
+ 8.5MB Total processor cache
+ C1E implemented at hardware level
+ Fastest retail processor at 3.4GHz stock
+ 4.2GHz Overclock possible with air cooling
+ AMD Overdrive (AOD) 3.1
- Trails behind Intel in CAD/CAM performance
Final Score: 9.3 out of 10.
Excellence Achievement: Benchmark Reviews Golden Tachometer Award.
Nomination: 2009 Editor's Choice Award for Enthusiast Processors.

Thank you to LeapFrog for sponsoring my post about Leapfrog Summer Camp. To sign up for LeapFrog Summer Camp, please click here. #CleverLFCamp #spon
The past few weeks I've been brainstorming for ideas to keep the boys busy over the summer. Did you know that studies show that by the time kids return to school after summer vacation, they've lost about one month of learning? Yikes! I know it's great for the kids to have some down time, but I don't want them going completely stagnant. I've toyed with thoughts of doing a summer bucket list (as I have the past couple of years) or even doing organized activity bins for an hour each day. Then I found out about the LeapFrog Summer Camp and when I went to check it out on their website I was so impressed with the creativity and ideas!
First off, it's free to join! It's an 8 week program (running from June 4 - July 28) for ages 4-7 and each week has a different theme. They provide you with all the ideas and activities (like great printables and simple crafts), so you can focus all of your energy on just enjoying your kids. Pierce and I are particularly excited about the Caring for Animals theme week and the Puzzle Time week. Obviously, we often incorporate caring for animals into our daily life (since we do live on a farm) and the boys have been really enthusiastic about puzzles lately, but it never occured to me to do specific units on these topics. I think they will be a huge hit. Even better? LeapFrog will also be offering specials on their products and a weekly photo contest with prizes during the duration of the camp.
This is such a great way to be engaged with your children this summer by involving yourself in their learning in a fun and creative way. If you want to sign up, you can do so now by visiting LeapFrog Summer Camp. In a couple of weeks, you can look for another post from me telling you all about our experiences with the camp!
This post is sponsored by LeapFrog. I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective, and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Rebecca Scritchfield, RD and mother of the "mefirst" movement, tweeted the above quote a few days ago, and it got me thinking about how this relates so much to body image and eating. I am a crusader against "fat talking" and people belittling themselves, but more importantly I am a campaigner for everyone knowing they are worthy of love and acceptance for just being themselves. We all have gifts, qualities, and personalities that are unique; we all have something special to offer that no one else could. However, through believing spoken or unspoken words, comparing ourselves to others, and setting unattainable standards, we consent to feeling inferior instead of objectively understanding that we all have strengths and weaknesses. Words are powerful and we need to watch how we talk to each other, but in addition to that we need to watch how we internally talk to ourselves and what we consent to believing.
Think about this quote in terms of eating. Have you ever felt inferior for listening to your body? With so many myths (1,2,3,4), diet commercials, and nutrition misinformation, it is easy to get confused about what healthy living and taking care of our bodies truly looks like. The truth is you alone know what you need to feel your best. YOU know when your body is telling you that you are hungry or need energy. You can tell when you are comfortably full or what foods you like the best. You can tell the best when you need rest or when you need some endorphins. You are YOUR body's expert and you can choose to stand by what it needs.
This holiday season be choosy with what you consent to. Don't let the "fat talk" surrounding you influence what you know to be true about yourself. Know your strengths and unique capabilities and use them in ways that only YOU can. Choose what your body needs, whether it is family time, alone time, a moment to be thankful, extra rest, exercise, a piece of your favorite dessert, or a salad. Most of all, I hope each of you consent to taking care of YOURSELVES, enjoying the true meaning of the holidays, and choosing not to listen to misinformation, lies, or messages that have no value. You have a choice; choose knowing and believing you are SPECIAL (not inferior) because that is exactly what you are!
Also, feel free to check out a great post by Green Mountain Fox Run this week about Interpreting Holiday Eating through an intuitive perspective!

Ello all,
I was wondering how would i go about this little task,
so say i have an image called background.png, i want my users to be able to upload an image which saves (my guess is i need to store it in a database) for the user and replaces the default image
Absolutely. You'll need some way of identifying the user, so at some point they'll have to sign in and upload the image. At that point I think I'd look at creating a cookie so your site can identify the user when they return (although some will disable cookies) and then each of your pages will need to establish the user id, find out whether they have a custom background image, and output it as part of the page if they do. Presumably your background will be defined in the overall site CSS, so it will be just a case of overriding it in the page header.
Thank you for the reply!
You'll also want to check for the image type (jpg, png), and size in pixels to restrict what they're allowed to upload.

Well.....after the value of all my "black" rifles went up in the winter, I sold them and made a (very) nice profit. But that has now left me with only a .22lr in the rifle section of my cabinet.
SO...Im looking for a new high-power varminter/ tack driver. My budget is kind of tight now after blowing some cash on my black powder gear, and this neat little Handi-Rifle caught my eye at the gun shop.
Anyone ever use/ own one? Any good?
Its a single shot, break-barrel (like a shotgun), but seems to be well made, and is offering the options Im looking for. Im really looking for a high power, medium caliber, non-semi auto, heavy barrel rifle. And for $245, this little handi seems like a bargain.
Its offered in a multitude of calibers, but Im leaning more towards the .243 win. Its highly unlikely it will be used for any real hunting (maybe the occasional burrowing rodent....no deer), mainly 100-300yd paper punching. So rapid fire/ reloading isnt an issue this time around.

My local dealer quoted me $245, and a week to get it. I stop in my local Cabelas on my way home from work, and they have one in stock for $219.....in the exact caliber, barrel, and finish I wanted.
Mmmmm.....high power....
Now THATS a heavy barrel.
Fantastic wood, fantastic finish, and excellent machining. The action is ridiculous. Maybe a ~3-4 pound pull with almost no sweep. You touch the trigger, and with a nice crisp click it releases. Cant wait to get it to the range.
.....now I need a decent scope for it.

Went out and shot it today. Turned out to be a WONDERFUL day at the range. To start off, I stapled my own damn finger while trying to hang my target (garage door opener type target system, with a cardboard backer. I stapled right through it to my finger). And then soon after that, I caught a ricochet from someone else TO THE FACE. Caught me square in the cheek bone. Didnt draw blood though.
Anyway, the rifle performed great. The thing sure has a bit of a kick, even with the heavy barrel. Id compare it to my 12ga with a light load in it. I dont have a scope for it yet, so I just put 20 rounds through it at 20 yards. I wasnt concerned with groupings today, I was just wanting to see how it felt. I can see it being a fantastic bench rifle. The trigger pull is very satisfying and light, recoil is a bit stout, but very controllable, and reloading while on a bag isnt hard....but it a bit awkward when trying to maintain your sight picture.

I have the same gun only with the beautiful laminated stock. I put a 4x12x50 scope on it and shoot consistent 2" groups at 150 yards. you will love it. You may find it takes a couple boxes of shells to really get the barrel polished for accuracy.

Ive since scoped it (9-16x40), added a Decelerator pad, and put well over 100 rounds through it. Tack driver at 100yds.
Im going to be sending the receiver off to H&R sometime soon and have them make me a .17 HMR and .500 S&W barrel for it. Fantastic rifle. My only complaint is that the screw under the foregrip gets rather hot after multiple shots, and makes it uncomfortable to shoot unless set on a bag.

Oh poop
god forbid i try to help anyone buy giving them one of the simple fundamentals of accurate shooting. any hunting shot will most likely be taken from a cold bore.
as you shoot the barrel heats up, as it heats up it moves, this movement can and will pull your shots off target. thinner "featherweight" barrels are much more susceptible to this as the heat up faster.
also continued shooting from a screaming hot barrrel will burn out your barrel. modern gunpowder burns at around 6000 degrees the more you shoot from a hot barrel the more it will erode the throat of the chamber. the more the thoat is eroded the farthe the bullet itself has to jump from the chamber to the rifleings in the the throat of the barrel. the farther it has to jump the more it affect accuracy.
but of coarse i might be wrong and so might thousands of other shooters and gunsmiths

All true, but, I am not rapid firing this rifle. I take ~60 seconds between shots to unload, reload, reset, reacquire, and settle myself. I usually put 10 rounds through it using this method before letting it cool for ~20 minutes (as well as to give my shoulder a break). The most Ive put through it is 20 rounds in a day, all shot in a 45 minute time frame. The thing just gets hot fast and stays hot for a long time.
It is a bull barrel too. I wanted a bull just for this reason.
With all that being said, the only deviance I get near the end of my session is from myself and not the gun. I need to become more disciplined. By the end of the session I start to anticipate the shot and flinch. Usually this throws me off by 1-2 MOA outside the rifles ability at 100 yards. Another reason why I take a break from it after 10 rounds, and dont shoot more than 20 in a day. I have become better, but Im still not up to my liking. On a good day I can have every shot land within the 10 range at 100 yds. Most of the time I have a 1" grouping with a handful of stragglers inside of 3".
|August 25th, 2009, 04:44 PM
Oh poop
good luck on the flinch once you get it, its almost impossible to get rid of....i developed mine shooing a 12gauge with 3 1/2 inch magnum turkey loads....i still flinch and pull shots once in a while even 3 yrs later...... stupid flinch aaaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhh
|August 25th, 2009, 06:46 PM

I originally wanted a magnum, either a 7mm or a .300. Im glad I got this .243 first, otherwise Id probably be scared to death of any high-power, lol.
|August 25th, 2009, 06:51 PM
Mall Crawler
I never thought of that. I put a "Decelerator" on it, and that REALLY helped. I might try the rod too.
|August 25th, 2009, 06:58 PM
Oh poop
depending on the weight of the rod it can make a huge difference in felf recoil. the key is that the rod has to be held in place otherwise the gun moves and the rod just bounces. depending on the length of the rod you use you can fill the empty space with a wooden dowel. dont glue it in or anything like that the hole is for access to the bolt that holds the stock on.

Cold bore shots are most likely only seen when you are hunting. When I shoot in a hunting rifle I take 1 shot a day until my gun is on, thus sighting it in for the cold bore shot. I shoot a few rounds through my rifle at the range before I start even trying groups. My 20" ar can put a 30 round magazine in a 4" group at 200 yards with oil smoking off the barrel at the end. Most "assault type" rifles have a chrome lined barrel to prevent barrel wear from rapid firing. As for wearing out the barrel, good luck doing that with a single shot 500 mag.
FFD, if you really want to knock down the recoil get a mercury filled buffer tube. Also, to help your flinch use breathing methods to calm yourself and level your heartbeat before firing.

Kassel makes promising debut as sub
Red Bulls rookie Matt Kassel: "The job's not done yet. It's a starting process,"
Linda Cuttone/Sports Vue Images
VANCOUVER -- Matt Kassel looked at it as his first steps as a professional soccer player and that bigger things were on the horizon.
The Bridgewater, N.J. made his MLS debut as a Red Bull, coming on for defender Carlos Mendes in the 70th minute in the Red Bulls' 1-1 draw with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday. Kassel, a midfielder, is a home-grown player signing after performing in the Red Bulls Academy for several years.
"Obviously it's something special playing for my home team to get out onto the pitch," he said. "It's a dream come true. Obviously, the job's not done yet. It's a starting process, getting on the field. Hopefully more minutes will come. I'm excited. I'm glad we got a point on the road. Obviously, we'd like to have three. But overall, it's a pretty positive effort."
Only 10 minutes into his pro debut, Kassel almost scored his first pro goal. He sent a 22-yard volley that was tipped over the crossbar by goalkeeper Jay Nolly.
"It was actually a late run to the box," Kassel said, adding that Dwayne De Rosario "picked his head up and saw me trailing him. He played a great ball. I wish I got it in the air but I didn't. It took a bounce, a funny hop. I hit it decent. The goalie made a good save on it. Obviously I wish it would have gone in. It was a good effort."
With five Red Bulls seeing action at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in June, Kassel and players such as Austin da Luz are expected to see more playing time in the coming weeks. Da Luz also made his debut, replacing Luke Rodgers in the 69th minute.
Kassel welcomed the opportunity.
"It's great," he said. "When guys go away for internationals or whatever it is, it's a chance for young guys to prove themselves, Coming in, there's always going to be chances. This is a chance for people to show the coach and coaching staff and the rest of the players what we have. We have done a lot of hard work the past few weeks and months. It's finally time for it to pay off."
Rodgers realizes that younger players getting playing time will pay off as the season progresses.
"The next month we're going to sending a lot more of them," he said. "When you've got fresh players on the team, it always refreshes the team up. So hopefully it will bring us some good luck."

Ucluelet BC Saltwater Fishing Report
By Murphy Sportfishing | Last updated: May 31st, 2015
Today a 31 pound Chinook Salmon hit the deck of guide Shaun Evans boat. This makes the "TYEE" Status.
Some chunky Chinook showing up in this weeks mix. Today the three boats on the water landed ten salmon between them. While to many these numbers sound high, the boats have been working really hard for them this week.
Fishing for Salmon nearshore has been the best spots so we haven't been targeting Halibut to much the last few days. But that will change real quick. We have had to work hard for limits again the last few days, while earlier in the week it was much easier! That's fishing....
Anchovies behind red or green fully rotating flashers have been the best bet. As usual fishing just off the bottom in depths around 120 feet deep. Fishing on the tide changes has been the best bite times, but regardless of time of day there is usually Salmon hunkered down deep so don't be afraid to stay down near bottom.
The winds out of Uculelet are still in a Westerly pattern since inland temperatures as so high but a fog bank has helped keep the winds down in the areas we are fishing. Up on the North end of Vancouver Island there has been some pretty steep westerlies. The weather is supposed to change this week so look for that system to move some fresh fish in and keep the winds away.
Our team is on the water daily now so feel free to email us to check in any time.

Sunday, February 1, 2009 started out just like any other day, but changed drastically in a matter of moments, when Turner, age 7, passed away with his humans and dog buddy, Duke, close by. He possibly had some heart issues and we think he had a heart attack. One minute he was fine, the next he was pacing, and then he came to his human mom, stretched, and collapsed. Before we even had time to panic, he was gone. The past few weeks, he has been less and less willing to go on walks and eat his food, so he may have been in a bit of pain or just not feeling quite right. We are grateful that if he was suffering, he isn't any more, and that the end of his life happened very quickly.
We fell in love with Turner the instant we saw him, at age 2, at the Great Dane rescue. We knew he was the dog for us. We was with us for 5 short but amazing years. Years we would not trade for anything.
We brought Turner home in hopes that he would be a great companion for our Hound/Pointer mix (and part crazy!) Duke, then 1. They bonded very quickly and hated to do anything without the other. They loved going for walks, to the dog park, camping, riding in the truck with their noses out the window, sleeping in the sun, and just being dogs.
We all miss Turner like crazy, and even though Duke can't cry, we know he is sad. His doggie friends are making sure he will always have someone to play with.
Turner, you were a big dog with an even bigger heart. Everyone who met you fell in love with you. You will not be forgotton.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Thursday, Dec. 4, 2008
After a short Thanksgiving break, the Hudson Valley Community College men's hockey team returned to the ice Wednesday night with another league win against the North Country Saints in Saranac Lake, NY. With the win, the Vikings improved their overall record to 8 – 1 overall and 5 – 1 in the NJCAA Region III.
The Vikings received goals from four different players in the hard fought 4 – 2 victory. Sean Starvish (East Windsor HS/ East Windsor, CT) got the scoring started midway through the first period with a power play goal. Charles Britt (West Valley HS/ Fairbanks, AK) put the Vikings up 2 – 0 in the second with his 12th goal of the season. The Saints tied it up late in the second period, but Brendan Constin (Lynnfield HS/Lynnfield, MA) put the Vikings back on top with the eventual game winner late in the third period. Greg Prazych (Saratoga HS/ Saratoga Springs) added an insurance goal just one minute later on a shot from the point to seal the deal. Paul Chamberlain (Niskayuna HS/ Niskayuna) assisted on three of the Vikings four goals and Kevin Bowdidge (Stoneham HS/ Stoneham, MA) stopped 26 of 28 shots faced to improve his record to 5 – 0.
The Vikings return home this weekend for a two game non-league set against the Maine Moose Junior A team. The Moose participate in the International Junior Hockey League's Super Elite division. Currently, Maine ranks third in the IJHL, just two points out of second. Saturday's game is slated to begin at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. Both games will be played at Hudson Valley's Conway Ice Arena.

2004 NAZA Ria GS 2.5 from Malaysia
Not worth buying
Dashboard vibrated with noise when the speed reached 90km/hr from the first day. Sent it to a service centre during warranty, mechanic said no vibrations and nothing wrong. They advised me to send it for an in house alignment. Tyre department said I must change the tyres first before doing that.
Squeaking sound on the front wheel and premature tyre wear (inner side). Tyres changed every 6 months from the first day. Sent it to the service centre within 2 weeks after being bought; they said it was an alignment issue, no warranty. Accused me of hitting potholes.
After 2 years, outside mechanic said bearing damage, issue resolved after changing tyres and bearings. Continued to change bearings and tyres every 6 months.
After 5 years, sent it to a different service centre, recommended to change arms. Finally all problems resolved.
After 10 years, water trace in engine oil and coolant missing.
General Comments:
I do not recommend buying one.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Inspired by China
Released May 19, 2006
On View: Oct. 28, 2006 to March 4, 2007
Location: Peabody Essex Museum
East India Square
Salem, MA 01970
About the Exhibition:
Chinese design has long been a source of inspiration for European and American furnituremakers––the Chippendale style of the mid-18th century, the Aesthetic style of the late 19th century, and modernist design during the 1930s and 1940s, are some of the more well-known examples. Inspired by China: Contemporary Furnituremakers Explore Chinese Traditions brings together 29 stellar examples of historic Chinese furniture, with 28 new works made for the exhibition. The 22 f
urnituremakers who made the new works––from the United States, Canada, and China are each recognized as leaders in the burgeoning field of studio furniture. Over a three-day workshop at the Peabody Essex Museum in June 2005, they viewed the Chinese pieces for the first time, including hardwood and lacquered altar tables (long, narrow tables designed for displaying objects or ceremonial offerings); a large square table with cabriole legs and exquisite elephant head carvings made of bone; a selection of chairs including a 16th to 17th century arm chair in the fine, restrained style of the Ming dynasty, and a number of drum shaped stools made from a variety of materials such as stone, bamboo, ceramic, cloisonné, and huanghuali wood.
The workshop gave the artists a rare opportunity to directly explore signature works of Chinese historic furniture and to exchange ideas with fellow artists from across North America and China. They then returned to their studios to make something new inspired by their experience. The results, including an incense stand fashioned of electrical wire (Inception Stand) by Gordon Peteran, a table made primarily of oak and willow twigs (Alter Altar Table) by Clifton Monteith, and a wooden stool reconceived as a U shape by Shao Fan (Round Stool), are fascinating for their dynamic range of creative responses and use of materials. All 57 objects can be seen at the exhibition from Oct. 28 to March 4, 2007.
Inspired by China: Contemporary Furnituremakers Explore Chinese Traditions includes a catalogue with essays by curators Nancy Berliner and Edward S. Cooke, Jr. The following is excerpted from the introduction:
In North America, where studio furniture has blossomed since the 1950s as a vibrant field with a strong professional identity, few furniture artists had enjoyed firsthand experience with Chinese forms, materials, and techniques. In China, studio furniture is less developed, but an increasing number of sculptors, designers, and furniture connoisseurs are demonstrating an interest in broader notions of furniture making. Few of these Chinese artists had any knowledge of the studio furniture community in North America and its wide variety of approaches. Bringing the two groups of artists together with a common focus on historic material thus provided an opportunity for creative and professional interaction.
For the American participants, the gathering was an opportunity to experience firsthand, and in-hand, the legendarily precise workmanship of Chinese furniture, prized and revered among woodworkers, and to study a wide diversity of furniture from China.
The Chinese furnituremakers traveled half-way around the globe to reencounter a full representation of their own culture's history and to come in contact with the perspectives, ideas, techniques, and works of their American counterparts, whom they had never met. Joining these studio furnituremakers, were two traditional Chinese furnituremakers from the rural reaches of Anhui Province.
The workshop and the resulting Inspired by China exhibition are an important step in a new cross-cultural exchange between America and China. We trust that this endeavor is only the first of a sustained period of interaction, one that will not homogenize the furniture of the world but highlight the regional traditions and spawn new hybrids.––Nancy Berliner & Edward S. Cooke

Creating apps for Google Glass is more involved than simply learning how to navigate its hardware, APIs, and SDK. You also need the right mindset. While this practical book delivers the information and techniques you need to build and deploy Glass applications, it also helps you to think for Glass by showing you how the platform works in, and affects, its environment.
In three parts—Discover, Design, and Develop—Glass pioneers guide you through the Glass ecosystem and demonstrate what this wearable computer means for users, developers, and society as a whole. You'll learn how to create rich functionality for a consumer technology that's radically different than anything currently available.

A software developer, marketer, broadcaster, sportswriter and filmmaker, Jason enjoys perpetual summer living on the island of Guam. He fell in love with the Web the moment he first got online in 1994, seeing it as the world's biggest toy, and began helping people embrace the Internet before shifting his focus to content development and ultimately to designing data-driven systems. In the last few years he's been concentrating on Google Glass, Hangout extensions, HTML5 games, and Chromecast apps. Since 1999 he's worked at http://kuam.com, where he runs the company's R&D group and also co-anchors the nightly news http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIlG6gCPSt8[(no, really)]. Jason was twice named a Microsoft MVP for his involvement with the ASP.NET community, is a four-time winner of the Edward R. Murrow Award for cutting-edge web development in the news industry, and is constantly interacting in Google+ Communities for Glass users and developers. He's served as technical editor for a book on Microsoft Hailstorm, has written for .NET Magazine, MSDN and Wrox, and authored an e-book about the trials and tribulations of a semi-pro football league. He holds a bachelor's degree in marketing from the University of Guam and an MBA with emphasis in technology management from the University of Phoenix. He's also an adjunct professor of MIS and business at the University of Guam and a member of the Football Writers Association of America. He wants to make good on his public promise to be the first man on the planet to do three distinct things with Glass: host a Hangout On Air from Epcot Center, call play-by-play for a game while broadcasting his POV video to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at a live sports production, and direct a stage version of Hamlet with all actors performing the tragedy of the troubled Prince of Denmark through their own first-person perspectives. Jason is online at http://jasonsalas.com.
The animals on the cover of Designing and Developing for Google Glass are red-billedblue magpies (Urocissa erythrorhyncha). These birds live around the Indian subcontinentand Southeast Asia, including in the lower-altitude western Himalayas. Red-billedblue magpies can dwell in subtropical, moist, or human-modified environments (suchas farmland), and their range includes forest, scrubland, and hills.
The red-billed blue magpie has the longest tail of any member of the crow familyCorvidae. Its body is a little over two feet long; the tail is over half of the entire length(it takes up 17 out of 26 inches, on average). Its head, neck, and chest are black withblue spots, while the lower body is off-white (there are no bonus points for guessing itsbeak color). The legs, feet, and a ring around the eye also tend to be a vivid orange-red,but some birds have yellow feet and legs. The long, bright blue tail has a broad whitetip, and is a striking feature of this bird. The red-billed blue magpie's diet is made up ofsmall animals, especially invertebrates, which are then supplemented by fruits, seeds,and nectar.
This bird's cries are varied and unique, and they are known to be excellent mimickersof other species' calls. Red-billed blue magpies make shallow nests in trees and shrubsand go out to hunt for food in packs. After reproduction, the female magpie incubatesthree to five eggs on her own while the male provides food. In the wild, red-billed bluemagpies have even been observed cleaning the teeth of Malayan tapirs, which providesthe birds with an easy meal of bugs and uneaten vegetation.

Comments about oreilly Designing and Developing for Google Glass:
Since I am a developer, I was looking forward to seeing how glass applications were designed and written. Unfortunately this book seems aimed at business/product owners and contains almost no code whatsoever. There are no examples, you will not walk away from this book one minute closer to having a working prototype of your GlassWare.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

uncover during deliberations as well as relevant information from previous decisions. I assume that judges have reputation concerns and try to signal to an evaluator that they can interpret the law correctly. If an appeal is brought, the appellate court's decision reveals whether the judge interpreted the law properly and allows the evaluator to assess the judge's ability. The monitoring possibilities for the evaluator are therefore endogenous, because the probability of an appeal depends on the judge's decision. I find that judges with career concerns tend to be "creative," i.e., to inefficiently contradict previous decisions.

Wind May Swirl In Favor For Beach Channel
The winds swirled from Jamaica Bay as a sunny 65-degree day all of sudden dipped the temps into 40's. The winds swept onto the tennis courts of Beach Channel High School and serves and lobs became adventurous during the practice. The 2003 Men's Tennis team has gotten used to the swirling winds and hope to use the conditions for a wining season and a PSAL division title.
The team is still very young, mostly composed of sophomores and juniors who have played together now for 2-3 years. Coach John Sullivan has seen great strides for his team. "We've seen great improvement in the last 6 months since we started practicing last year. They're bigger than last year and the talent level has gone up."
The team went 5-5 in 2002, but Beach Channel feels confident about winning because the Queens division had a high turnover. Many seniors graduated from top teams such as Campus Magnet and Van Buren.
Sullivan knows who will be his top three singles players. One player is Timothy Ramchatesingh, whose experience playing in the New York Junior Tennis League has helped him garner the top singles spot on the team. "We feel he is going to be one of the top players in Queens," said Sullivan. "Based on what we seen, I feel confident."
The sophomore was also pleased with last year's performance. "Last year went better than I thought. My speed and experience surprised people because I had more experience than most juniors and seniors."
Gabriel Martinez, the second singles player uses a strange but effective tool against his opponent. "He drove everyone crazy last year. He just kept volleying back and forth and always made the shot," said Sullivan. "I need to improve my second serve but it will be a good year," said Martinez.
Soslan Dambegov, the 3rd singles player is a good athlete who is strong and tall. The 6'1 junior player had experience playing in Russia and is training to be a lifeguard on the Rockaway beaches. "I know I played better at the end of year. I got the speed."
An important recruiting tool for Sullivan is his connection with the New York Junior Tennis League Program. Working for the NYJTL since 1995, Sullivan like the fact that some his players learned under the program. Also helping will be Bernard Ramchatesingh, Timothy's older brother, who returns to Beach Channel to work with the team as an intern for St. John's.
Sullivan is not sure about who will be paired as doubles as of yet but he is confident of his team. "There is an 100% improvement and I think we're going to be number 1."

I would like to address Referendum 2A, which I find to be an insult to the intelligence of the voting public.
Once again the city is attempting to substantially increase its overall funding by disguising a tax increase as funding for ambulance and fire services when it is really for capital improvements.
I would propose honest wording of the Referendum as follows:
"Shall the city of Steamboat Springs taxes be permanently raised by 3.55 mills (first fiscal year dollar increase of $1.35 Million and expected to rise each year) commencing with calendar year 2003 to be collected in 2004 on all real property, both vacant and improved, dedicated to pay for unspecified capital improvements, whether needed or not."
Appropriate funding for fire and ambulance is a basic service that needs to be funded before considering capital improvements. I would encourage voters to see through the smoke of this referendum as funding for firefighting and ambulance and see it for what it really is "an increase in taxes to fund capital improvements." Then you can honestly decide whether it is appropriate.

Davey Gudgeon was a mentioned student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1970s. He almost lost his eye trying to get close enough to the Whomping Willow to touch its trunk.
For their own safety (and possibly the Willow's as well), students were forbidden to go near the tree since that event occurred. It is possible that Davey sustained other injuries, because it is never mentioned that Davey did lose an eyeball.

The foodservice company registered sales of nearly $11 billion for the second quarter of its fiscal year. That's an increase of more than 5% from the same period a year earlier.
Bill DeLaney is Sysco's president and CEO.
"During the quarter, solid case volume growth contributed to the highest second quarter sales level in our history. This growth was driven by both acquisition and organic growth, as we were particularly successful in growing with our large regional and national customers."
Sysco's earnings per share were $0.38, down from $0.43 from the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. The drop reflected restructuring costs and transformation expenses. It also included a loss of about a penny a share due to costs tied to Hurricane Sandy.

USA Swimming adds Arena as apparel partner
Published December 17, 2012, Page 11
The eight-year agreement, which industry sources valued at more than $1 million a year, follows USA Swimming's decision to break up its apparel category and begin selling non-exclusive licensing and sponsorship deals. Arena will become a non-exclusive sponsor of USA Swimming, title sponsor of six Grand Prix swimming events and the exclusive sponsor of the U.S. national team, which will wear Arena apparel on the pool deck and podium at USA Swimming events.
|Rebecca Soni endorses Arena's products.
That deal combined with the Arena deal means that USA Swimming's gamble to break up the category has helped it increase total revenue from the licensing and apparel category. It hopes to sign more swimwear deals and possibly sign a deal in the fashion and footwear categories similar to the U.S. Olympic Committee's deals with Ralph Lauren and Nike, respectively.
"[The Arena sponsorship] really supports what we want to do in terms of raising the profile of the national team and our national team athletes," said Matt Farrell, USA Swimming's chief marketer. "They also have a vision for growing the sport at the grassroots level, and for us that was a great combination."
Arena's sponsorship comes two years after the private equity firm Riverside Co. acquired it and began pushing the brand to increase its market share in the U.S. The brand is the top swimming brand worldwide but trails Speedo in the U.S. market. It hopes the sponsorship with USA Swimming will help change that.
Olympic gold-medalist and world record-holder Rebecca Soni is the most high-profile U.S. swimmer currently on Arena's roster of swimmers.

UC Earns Monumental Victory
Oct. 24, 2008
CINCINNATI – Kristin May (Hudson, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit) scored two goals, including the game-winner, to lead the University of Cincinnati women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over visiting Villanova at Gettler Stadium on Friday night. With the win, UC (9-5-3, 5-2-3) secured a trip to the BIG EAST Conference Tournament, a first for the Bearcats women's soccer team.
"This was a tremendous team effort tonight," said first-year head coach Michelle Salmon. "We had an outstanding first half and really dictated the tempo. It was an overall team victory and I'm really proud of our players. The team, and the senior class, did an outstanding job all season and has really put our program in a positive light."
May scored her first goal at the 32:12 mark of the first half, striking the ball 30-yards out. May's shot skipped off the field turf and bounced past Villanova's (11-6-1, 4-5-1) keeper, Molly Williams. Williams had misplayed a ball by Kelli Pawelko (Lemont, Ill./Lemont) kicked just minutes earlier, but May's shot bounced into the goal, putting UC on top, 1-0.
May's second goal came off a pass from Sydney Barker (Roswell, Ga./Roswell) in the 39th minute. Barker passed to May who was streaking on the left side and booted a left-footed line drive into the back of the net.
May's two-goal performance was the first of the 2008 season and the first time since Erin MacDonald (St. Catharine's, Ont./West Park Secondary) scored two goals against South Florida on Oct. 19, 2007.
Villanova scored its only goal in the 72nd minute when Erin Hardiman controlled a corner kick from Jessica Carnevale and slipped it into the right corner of the goal.
The Bearcats and Wildcats each had nine shots and Andrea Kaminski (Noblesville, Ind./Noblesville) earned her ninth win in goal this season, saving five.
The Bearcats joined the BIG EAST conference in 2005 and qualified for the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time with the win tonight. UC has earned five conference wins this season, and has guaranteed a winning season with the victory – the most BIG EAST conference wins in a season and the first time since 2002 that UC will finish above .500.
"Qualifying for the BIG EAST Tournament speaks volumes of the leadership of our senior class and is very well deserved for this team," said Salmon. "It also signifies the direction this program is heading."
UC will play next on Sunday at 1 p.m. against Georgetown at Gettler Stadium. The match is Senior Day for eight of Cincinnati's players.

An Internet-based screening approach performs well in identifying patients with treatable diabetic eye disease, according to a study in Optometry and Vision Science, official journal of the American Academy of Optometry. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health.
In the article, "Utility of Hard Exudates for the Screening of Macular Edema," using digital photographs of the eye taken at the doctor's office or clinic, eye specialists can reliably detect "hard exudates" -- a key early sign of diabetes-related macular edema, reports the new research by Jorge A. Cuadros, OD, PhD, of UC Berkeley School of Optometry and colleagues. "This study offers impressive support for the implementation of remote screening images for patients with diabetes, who are not being seen by eye specialists like optometrists and ophthalmologists," comments Anthony Adams, OD, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Optometry and Vision Science.
Remote Detection of Hard Exudates in Eye Photographs
The researchers evaluated the use of the EyePACS "tele-ophthalmology" system to detect edema (wetness) resulting from leaky blood vessels in the retina at the back of the eye. This macular edema is one of the most serious vision-threatening changes in the eyes of people with diabetes.
"Edema that is detected close to the line of sight (straight-ahead vision) can and should be treated to slow or avoid any loss of vision," explains Dr Adams. "However about one-third of all people with diabetes don't realize they have diabetes and about 20 percent of those with recently diagnosed already have some changes in the blood vessels at the back of the eye."
Optometrists and ophthalmologists, with specialized training and instruments, can diagnose macular edema. However, these services aren't available or practical everywhere. In EyePACS and similar remote screening programs, primary care doctors or nurses take digital photographs of the eye, which are then sent for remote viewing and diagnosis by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.
One sign these specialists look for is small yellow "hard exudates" -- an indicator of current or very recent edema. In their study, Dr Cuadros and coauthors sought to determine whether hard exudates in clinic photographs are an accurate indicator of clinically significant macular edema in patients with diabetes.
Sensitive Screening Test for Diabetic Eye Disease
The study included 103 adults with type 2 diabetes, seen at a public health clinic, who were considered at high risk for macular edema. A special digital camera was used to take a magnified view of the interior of the eye, without the use of eye drops to dilate the pupil. The photos were sent over the Internet for review by eye specialists, who looked for hard exudates close to the line of sight as an indicator of clinically significant macular edema.
Within a few months, patients returned to the clinic for specialist examination, including dilation of the pupil and stereo views of the interior of the eye -- the standard test for diabetic eye disease. The dilated exams showed clinically significant macular edema in about 15 percent of patients.
Hard exudates detected on the digital photographs were an accurate indicator of macular edema. "The presence of hard exudates allowed correct detection of actual edema close to 90 percent of the time," says Dr Adams. "Just as important, the test was close to 80 percent accurate in correctly identifying when no edema was present." Thus the screening procedure had a sensitivity of 90 percent and specificity of 80 percent.
To prevent vision loss, it's important to identify and treat diabetic eye damage as early as possible. Remote screening tests have been developed to increase the number of diabetic patients screened for eye disease. That's especially important in groups without access to specialist vision care, like the public clinic patients evaluated in the new study. Dr Cuadros is inventor of the EyePACS system, which is used to screen nearly 36,000 patients each year at the UC Berkeley School of Optometry Digital Health Clinic.
Although further research is needed, the new results show that that remote screening -- and specifically the detection of hard exudates in nondilated eye photographs -- can accurately identify patients with diabetic eye disease. Dr Cuadros and coauthors conclude, "Low-cost and reliable methods of detecting clinically significant macular edema, such as the use of a hard exudate surrogate marker described here, are needed to meet the challenge of widespread screening for this vision-threatening condition."
