- 6. Religious Convictions of America's Founders: Thomas Lynch, Jr.
Three months older than co-signer Edward Rutledge, Thomas Lynch, Jr., at age 26 was the second youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence. However, when Thomas Lynch, Jr.'s life tragically ended at age 30, he was the youngest of the signers at their deaths.
The story of Thomas Lynch, Jr., an Episcopalian, is really the story of father and son, for it was Thomas Lynch, Sr. who, had he not suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in early 1776, from which he never sufficiently recovered, would have signed the Declaration of Independence, along with his son. He is the only Founding father whose son was elected to replace his father. Lynch, Sr. was a prominent politician who played a pivotal role in events leading up to the American Revolution.Click here to read more

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
An Episcopalian, John Penn was born on May 17, 1741, at Port Royal, Caroline County, Virginia. John was the only child of a farmer, Moses Penn, and Catherine Taylor Penn. On his mother's side, two descendants of his great-grandfather James Taylor became presidents of the United States—James Madison and Zachary Taylor.
John's father died suddenly when John was 18 years old. Even though John was left with a modest fortune, his parents didn't believe in the value of an education. John had spent only two-three years at a country common school.
John could have led an unprincipled life of foolishness and dissipation, but instead he took advantage of the tutelage and vast library of his cousin, Edmund Pendleton. Pendleton was well known as one of the most accomplished statesmen of Virginia. His library was described by both Jefferson and Adams as having no equal in the colonies.Click here to read more

I have to say, I liked Bob
By Mary Louise Schumacher
Published on: 8/8/2006
The Milwaukee art scene is aflutter with talk about Bob Rindler???s sudden departure from MIAD, where he served as president for just about a year.
Quick recap: He came from New York???s Cooper Union, where he had been dean of the art school for about a decade. Late on Friday, word started spreading informally that he had resigned his post, though there is some conjecture that he had been asked to leave.
What everyone is asking, of course, is: What???s the real story? Why is he leaving? Was Bob a difficult guy? Did he bump heads with anyone? Is MIAD resisting change?
These are understandable questions with no immediate answers.
But, all of that aside, I think one thing warrants being said.
Bob Rindler was no cynic. And that is something.
Any time Bob opened his mouth in public, you could count on Bob???s words to reflect his absolute belief in the promise of MIAD and the city of Milwaukee. His ambitions for the school were almost always larger than anyone else's in the room. He loved it here and loved to say so.
This is a big part of why it seems everyone believed, and many still believe, that Bob was the right man for the job.
Now, he did say all of these things a lot. Bob has a big personality, the kind that can fill the room and command the floor. I???m sure all of this seemed fawning and at times eclipsed what others might have wanted to say.
But, Bob? Like his manner or no, he meant it. I got to know him well enough to say that with confidence.
And, isn???t that sometimes the price of leadership anyway? I can think of many effective leaders in the city who seem to press a little too hard or speak a little too loud sometimes. David Gordon???s dog-with-a-bone manner comes to mind. When he gets a bee in his bonnet about something, he hammers away relentlessly. But having strong vision and an exertion of power is what leaders sometimes do to make things happen.
People at MIAD have been through so much in the last few years. They existed without a president for a while. Weathered financial woes. Took pay cuts. Lost staff. Did increasingly amounts of work. Dealt with uncertainties.
These people deserve good leadership.
But MIAD has more to get through yet, and Bob was right about that painful truth. It is a school with some good qualities and good people that probably should be far more ambitious. There are some artists there, such as Jason Yi, James Barany and Jill Sebastian, for example, who've had significant recognition beyond Milwaukee. But there are a lot of teachers who haven't shown art publicly for years, who don't have much of a voice beyond the classroom, who aren't setting an example by being visible in the art world.
Whomever fills the presidential post next, I can only hope that he or she brings the kind of hopefulness that Bob did to what is bound to be a challenging task.

Oregon DUI & Oregon Diversion Information
If you, a friend, or a loved one has recently been arrested or cited and charged with a DUI, then you are in the right place. You want to know what is going on, what the procedure is, and most importantly, how you can minimize the impact on your life. An experienced Portland DUI Lawyer can help.
Use the drop-down tabs at the upper left of the menu bar to find in-depth answers to your concerns, or scroll down for quick answers.
DUI Arrest
If you have been arrested or cited for driving under the influence, then time is of the essence – you have just 10 calendar days from the date of your arrest to request a DMV hearing, or your driver's license will be automatically suspended on the 30th day following your arrest. This suspension falls under the Implied Consent Laws. Fortunately, a top Oregon DUI attorney can defend your rights both at the DMV and later in criminal court, and fight to safeguard your driver's license and your rights. For an in-depth explanation of the DMV process and how it interacts with the criminal process, see our Oregon Implied Consent information page.
Oregon Driver License Suspension for DUII Breath Test
If you are facing a charge in Portland, you likely face two different license suspensions. First, there may be a suspension for taking a breath/blood test and failing, or refusing to take a test at all. In addition, if you are convicted of a DUI in Oregon, you face an additional suspension that can range from 1 year to the rest of your life. For information on the suspension with regards to the tests, see our Oregon Implied Consent Suspension Length page. For information on suspension with regards to a conviction, see our page on DUI License Suspensions. we can fight to help you keep your license.
DUI Diversion
Diversion can get your case dismissed. When first arrested for DUII, most people's first question is "Am I eligible for Diversion?" In general, if you haven't had a prior DUII or court-ordered drug/alcohol treatment, you do not have a commercial driver's license, and there was no one under 18 with you in the vehicle, you will be eligible. This can be a complicated process and we are happy to help. Having an experienced lawyer with you can make the Diversion process much easier. Click here for an in-depth discussion of Oregon DUI Diversion Eligibility. Click here for the Diversion Program Requirements – these are the hoops you must jump through for a dismissal.
Fight your DUI
If you are not eligible for Diversion, your only choices will be to take a plea or to fight your case. See our Oregon DUI Defense page for more information on how the state will come after you and how you can fight back with the help of an experienced Portland DUII lawyer. If you are convicted of a DUI in Oregon, your penalties can vary, depending on where the offense happened. If you got a DUI in Portland, this is likely a Multnomah County DUI. Multnomah County has a process for 1st-time convictions that can help you avoid jail time. Your court fees are also often reduced. For more information, see our Multnomah County DUI page.
Hillsboro Defense; Clackamas Defense
Besides Multnomah County, the other main counties in the Oregon metro area are Washington County (Hillsboro, Beaverton, etc) and Clackamas County (Oregon City, Lake Oswego, etc). Washington County and Clackamas County have different consequences and procedures than in Portland. Click here for more information on those penalties. Having a DUI lawyer with experience in Hillsboro and Lake Oswego can make a big difference.
Felony DUI in Oregon
If you are facing your 3rd (or more) DUI charge, then this may be a felony. A felony carries serious charges, including a minimum of 90 days in jail (without good time or any early release) and can carry up to 5 years in prison. These type of offenses are very serious. For further information, click here. If you think your DUI might be a felony, contact a local defense lawyer immediately.
We Are Here To Help
Hopefully, the information here will be able to answer your questions. If you still have concerns, or if you have an upcoming court date, you should speak with an experienced Portland attorney as soon as you can.
Criminal defense is something we take very seriously, and we want to help you through this difficult time. Give us a call today for an absolutely free consultation.

MADISON - It has been a truism, long held by scientists, environmentalists and others, that biological diversity and the intricate, interdependent web of biological relationships it fosters is a must for maintaining the health and stability of any ecosystem.
But the argument has never been carefully honed, and there is no consensus among scientists regarding this central question of biology: Just why are diversity and competition so important to balancing the overall health of ecosystems?
Now, a group of scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, writing in the Friday, Oct. 15, edition of the journal Science, suggests that simple diversity may be less important than how individual animals, plants or microbes respond to environmental change.
"It's not the number of species per se. It's how they respond to the environment that's important," says Anthony Ives, a UW-Madison associate professor of zoology and the lead author of the study published in the nation's leading scientific journal.
The primary result of the study is that competition between animals, plants and other forms of life is a sideshow. Instead, the true measure of a community's biological health and stability is the wherewithal of just some species to withstand environmental changes such as a warmer climate, a chemical change in the atmosphere or changes in land use.
That is not to say, Ives stressed, that biodiversity has no practical importance. It does, especially in the face of unpredicted, large-scale environmental shifts, he says.
"The more species you have, the greater the likelihood you'll have some (organisms) that are tolerant of environmental change. Biodiversity is an insurance policy against unknown environmental fluctuations and disturbances."
The idea, posited by Ives and co-authors Kevin Gross and Jennifer Klug, UW-Madison graduate students, suggests that ecologists should shift attention from the interations among species, and instead focus on how different species react to different environmental assaults.
The basis of the report published this week in Science is a mathematical analysis of the ebb and flow -- the variability -- of populations of organisms encountering environmental stress. "It is explicitly modeling the variability, which hasn't been done before," says Ives.
According to Gross, the model, like an analysis of the stock market, looks at variability through time, and identifies stability in an ecological community as a measure of how much populations of species fluctuate in the face of environmental change.
The hope, according to the Wisconsin scientists, is that the model will contribute to a better understanding of ecosystem dynamics, how ecosystems change along with the larger environment.
The work, says Ives, should not be considered an argument against the importance of biodiversity.
"What biodiversity gives you is a greater chance that there will be tolerant species present to help retain the function of the ecosystem," he says.

'Onto' vs. 'On To'
'Onto' is a preposition that shows a movement toward another surface:
(1) The doors opened [onto a large veranda].
(2) We stepped [onto a crowded platform].
(3) He slid the pizza [onto the hot stone].
The words in the square brackets are prepositional phrases related to the preposition onto. The bracketed phrases specify a location towards which the movement is directed.
Note: (1)-(3) aren't clear cut cases, and some speakers may use 'on to' (written separately) instead of 'onto'. There is no universally accepted explanation and sometimes these two can be interchangeable.
Yet, with verbs meaning 'lift' or 'climb', onto is preferable:
(4) The victim was lifted onto the stretcher.
(5) A family of racoons climbed onto the picnic table.
(6) The fishermen hauled the netting onto the boat.
(7) The horses were hoisted onto the truck.
A general rule of thumb to decide if 'onto' is appropriate is relplace it with 'on'. The meaning should not be affected:
(8) Save it onto/on the desktop.
(9) Never put a stroller onto/on the escalator.
(10) They hopped onto/on the streetcar.
Note: Never replace 'on' with 'onto'. It doesn't work the other way around.
'On to' is written separately when 'on' is a part of a phrasal verb:
(11) [Could you please pass it on] [to everyone in the room]?
(12) [The presenter moved on] [to the next topic].
(13) [I can't log on] [to my account].
Additional common phrasal verbs may include: hold on (to the rail), catch on (to the joke), turn on (to the next topic), hang on (to the hope), go on (to pursue an academic degree).

I am a native english speaker and i still don't understand any of this. I have never heard of a phrasal verb and i have been through college english classes, makes me wonder if they just assume we know these things at each level and we never are taught correctly. Thanks for the info, still a bit confused though.

Oh by verbal phrase do you mean prepositional phrase? is that the same thing? I am thinking this might just be a terminology issue :D

LOCKPORT – The world-famous Tour de France bicycle race has become notorious for the use of performance-enhancing drugs. But instead of pharmaceuticals, maybe the bikers should fuel up with tacos.
That's what four local men plan to do next week as they ride about 220 miles to raise money for the Wounded Warriors Project, helping America's injured service personnel.
Each leg of the Thursday trip will stop at a Mighty Taco location – all 23 of them. And each rider will down a taco and a loganberry drink at every one.
Jeff Tracy and Richard Mullaney of Lockport, Mark Kern of Gasport and Jon Lacki of East Amherst hope to raise at least $5,000 for the Wounded Warriors Project, which aims to help injured service members.
Wounded Warriors went for the stunt right away. "They like quirky," Tracy said.
Kern, 24, was a sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division when he was wounded in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb blast in 2010. Kern left the Army in 2013 and is now studying for a management degree at Niagara University.
Tracy, a teacher at Starpoint High School, said Kern "still has some lingering side effects."
"This ride started as a joke, but it's taken on a bigger meaning," Tracy said. "Our government is kind of letting these guys down in a big way."
Kern has hooked up with some of the area's best endurance athletes.
Tracy, 44, is a nine-time Ironman Triathlon finisher who in 2001 completed a five-month hike of the 2,162-mile Appalachian Trail. Last year, he rode his bike from his home in Lockport to his brother's house in Utica, just for fun.
Lacki, 29, is an accomplished marathon and half-marathon runner with multiple finishes, including the Boston Marathon. He is currently working on his master's degree in business administration at Canisius College.
Mullaney, the retired City of Lockport clerk and budget director, turns 62 in late July. He has two Ironman finishes and several other completed marathons to his credit.
"I'm not sure I ever said yes," Mullaney laughed. "We're good friends and have been doing triathlons together for 10 years."
The Mighty Ride, as the event is called, starts at 6 a.m. in the Rochester suburb of Greece, site of the newest Mighty Taco. From there, it's a short jaunt to the other Monroe County Mighty, in Henrietta.
But then things get really challenging, because the next stop on the route Tracy has planned is East Aurora.
"That's going to be 60 or 70 miles through Warsaw and Varysburg on Route 20A, which means some pretty significant hills," Tracy said.
After East Aurora, the four bicyclists will be weaving their way through Erie and Niagara counties, stopping at every Mighty Taco location. Their goal is to finish at the Lockport Mighty sometime that night.
"We're proud to provide the fuel for the Mighty Ride," said Russ Jasulevich, chief operating officer for Mighty Taco.
To start at 6 a.m., before the restaurants open, the foursome will buy tacos in Greece and Henrietta the night before the ride and stay overnight in Greece.
The idea of breaking up a long-distance bike ride with a steady diet of tacos isn't as crazy as it might sound.
Tracy said, "With my experience and the others' experience as endurance athletes, we've been down that road before. We're used to refueling while working out."
According to the Mighty Taco website, a base model Mighty has 208 to 227 calories, depending on the fillings.
Jasulevich said, "You can go with the wheat shell instead of the white shell. There's even a vegetarian or vegan option in there."
Tracy conceded, "There may be a side effect from eating all those tacos in a day."
Perhaps more dangerous than the impact on the gastrointestinal tract might be the traffic, since Mighty Taco, like all other food chains, tends to locate on major, heavily traveled roads.
"We're all experienced riders. We're used to being around traffic," Tracy said.
He said when it gets dark, the bikes will have lights, and Kern will drop back with a warning light at the end of the "pack."
"It's a great cause. Hopefully, we'll have fun doing it," Mullaney said.

Building custom-design business can super-size your profits, says David Geller. And it's not as hard as you think.
[h3]Custom Made[/h3]
[dropcap cap=H]ere's one way to steal some "Internet dollars" back to your store. Even better, it's in a field where Internet sellers can't compete and, best of all, you can still make 66% gross profit margins.[/dropcap]
[inset side=right]The field of your dreams? Custom designing.[/inset]The field of your dreams? Custom designing. Hey, hey, don't leave ... even if you've never carved a wax in your life! Please read on. Why do I suggest custom designing? Well, one reason is that I made a lot of money with it in my former store. But here's the biggest reason I suggest you get into it now or expand what you're doing:
I estimate that there should be ... oh, only about a billion pieces of old and ugly jewelry sitting in drawers and safe deposit boxes across America right now. Give or take a few hundred thousand.
Baby boomers bought tons of jewelry over the years and it's sitting. The Bob Hope generation (our parents) have either handed down these items already, are handing them over now, or will do so in the near future. Most of it is not worn, but because customers don't throw out anything they perceive to have value, they hold onto it. Don't believe that people hold onto stuff that they'll never ever use? Look at your own basement and count the number of old computer monitors and printers you have piled up. See?
There are four areas you have to master to make money from this:
[dropcap cap=1.]Price it correctly. I've discussed this before and it's all laid out for you in our pricing guide.[/dropcap]
[dropcap cap=2.]Know how to design it. It's not as hard as it sounds. Really, offering design ideas to customers requires only a decent sense of fashion along with some rudimentary jewelry-making knowledge.[/dropcap]
[dropcap cap=3.]Be able to get it made. This is where things get technical. But it's not necessary for you to make the jewelry yourself. You can also either send the jewelry out, or buy re-made castings or mountings and all you do is set it.[/dropcap]
[dropcap cap=4.]Advertise it. This is where the bulk of retailers who want to offer custom design fall short. Most people have no clue that this type of service is available. To change that, you must tell them — constantly.[/dropcap]
Here's how it works. Advertise that you can take customers' outdated jewelry — "Mom's old pieces" or broken jewelry — and re-make them into beautiful new designer fashions at a fraction of the cost.
Customers come in with their old items, and you show them stock waxes, hand-made waxes, pictures from fashion magazines, catalogues from mounting houses, or even mountings you have in your own case that will accept a variety of different types of stones.
Charge the customer for manufacturing jewelry using a pre-made wax (and charge even more for a custom-made wax), including finishing. Then, charge for gold and setting of stones. You're resetting their stones. In my former store, we would actually cast a wax with their gold. It took us a while but we finally were able to do it with a small rate of porosity. But some jewelers won't use customers' gold — so they would buy the customer's gold at a low price and sell them new gold. But the wax manufacturing charge was still the same.
For the most part, in my experience, the customers were thrilled. I'd tell them "We can make you a new ring worth thousands for only hundreds." It's true.
In our price book, the labor for casting with a stock wax was $195 (whether it was the customer's gold or ours.) I figured the cost to cast the $195 wax is $35. Good profits. Then add on setting, heads, bezels, etc. To hand-make a ring from a wax starts at $530.
Then add gold. Again, I'd use their gold.
If you have mountings in the case, you can sell the mounting and then charge for heads and setting, buying the customer's old metal and using it as credit against the total job.
[inset side=right]I'd tell them "We can make you a new ring worth thousands for only hundreds." It's true.[/inset]Markup is typical at three times for everything. You're looking at a 65% margin. And guess what the turn is? If you make the ring, your turn is 52! Look at it: no inventory other than labor and findings.
In 1999 at my former store, our average product sale from the case was $350. But our average custom design (using the customer's gold) was over $750. If the customer had no gold and we custom-made a piece and furnished the gold, it was over $1,500.
And remember, moving that average $350 jewelry item required you to have hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory to be in the case. But making that $750 custom sale only required you to have $25,000 of findings and gold. In fact, many jewelers with thriving custom businesses keep less than $5,000 in stock.
You'll make a lot of money, please a lot of people and once they are a customer you can now "woo them" so they come back and shop with you for other things. Loyal customers who have a relationship with a store will return. Custom designing and repairs builds loyalty, relationships and your bank balance.
But you've got to get the word out that you offer this service. We did direct mail, advertised on cable and, for many years, in the newspaper. (See a sample ad Geller used on Page 82.) During that time, we ran the same newspaper ad each Saturday. Notice that there's no discounting even though pricing is mentioned. This is not an area where price drives sales. We only advertised discounted repairs twice a year.

Apparently Katherine is on her way to see him in Vegas and hopefully while she is gone this time her children will not try and stage a mutiny.

I always wondered that if Joe Jackson had died before Michael did, if Michael would go to Joe's funeral. I know the rest of the family would have, but I think Michael would have stayed away.

A new agreement announced today will mean stronger border security and faster processing times for genuine travellers, Immigration Minister Jonathan Coleman says.
The agreement, between New Zealand and Canadian immigration authorities, is part of a Five Country Conference (FCC) biometric programme between New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Officials would now have greater tools to detect identity fraud and process genuine travellers faster by checking fingerprint details with Canadian counterparts, Dr Coleman said.
Immigration New Zealand (INZ) signed similar agreements with Australia and the United Kingdom last year.
"Organised crime groups and illegal migrants are increasingly using identity and passport fraud to evade detection," Dr Coleman said.
"The FCC agreement provides greater confidence that non-genuine immigration cases will be refused through the improved detection of fraudulent identity and immigration claims."
The fingerprints of asylum claimants and people awaiting deportation who refuse to provide identity information may be checked.
Dr Coleman said the protection of personal information was important to all countries involved and arrangements would conform with the privacy acts of each country.

And that photo of the target with projectile "strikes" is pretty disgusting, even though it is fake.
I actually looked now what will I do for the rest of the day "TOF" I agree. Some things need to left alone.
Huh...Being retired, I have some spare time tomorrow.

Not surprisingly, for almost 10 years the tennis-mad Nola family have lived within lobbing distance of the popular West End Tennis Club.
It's only the prospect of their own tennis court that's luring them away from Westmere and out to the country.
Grant and Pavlina met on the world tennis circuit (she was a Bulgarian champion) and lived in apartments before they had children.
After the arrival of two sons they twice tossed up between town and country.
Both times Westmere won. "I didn't understand why New Zealanders move out of apartments when they have kids," admits Pavlina. "But now I totally love it."
She's especially smitten with the huge front yard they created by moving the original bungalow to the rear of their large section.
It might not quite fit a tennis court, but the private, hedged space can host football matches for the boys and their friends and has consented plans for a swimming pool.
It's shielded from the street by the double garage, with an adjoining work-from-home office.
The couple transformed their house, too. They'd worked with Jonathan Smith from Matter Architects before and knew he could interpret their brief well.
"I love bungalows," says Grant. "We really wanted to keep that character."
They kept the graceful bungalow facade, accentuated with cedar shingles. A generous north-facing deck cascades down to the front lawn.
The covered outdoor area references the traditional front porch with its pitched tongue-and-groove ceiling.
The re-build delivered what's typically missing in old bungalows - light, space and storage.
Plus they insisted on comforts that Europeans take for granted - insulation, double-glazing and ducted heating.
Despite the generous, open plan and walls of sliding windows and doors, Grant marvels that their power bill is less than previous houses half the size. The open-plan living and dining space is bathed in all-day sunlight, with sliding doors to the covered deck.
The tongue-and-groove cathedral ceiling echoes the outdoor porch, while the gas fire adds night-time ambience.
A cosy media room backs on to the fireplace, displaying another bungalow remnant: an original stained-glass window.
The couple call it a hospitable house. "We can kick our shoes off and relax in front and slide the door shut on kids watching DVDs next door," says Grant. Pavlina and Grant both love to cook, so the kitchen got a lot of attention.
They love the textured granite wrap-around counter on the huge central island.
"It's almost like wood-grain," says Pavlina. "We call the chalked-oak cabinets the Nola design."
Cooks' essentials include the Miele appliances and the butler's pantry opening to the entrance hall, making it easy to unload groceries.
"We love New Zealand design," says Pavlina, pointing out light fixtures throughout the house from David Trubridge and Douglas + Bec and the handmade tiles from Middle Earth.
A colourful wallpaper from Paper Room terminates the sky-lit hallway a few steps up from the living area. A glamorous red-tiled powder room is Pavlina's girlie touch. "If all those boys get too much, I can lock myself in here," she says.
They chose over-sized Italian tiles for the spacious family bathroom and en suite. Grant calls the master bedroom's walk-in closet "the world's biggest wardrobe", and the generous storage continues in three more double bedrooms. Morning sun pours into the master bedroom, although Grant specified dark blinds for lie-ins.
The wide hallways sport more storage and a huge laundry opens to the efficient backyard, where clever terracing has created room for raised vege beds and fruit trees. That huge front yard might be treasured, but the country tennis court is calling them now.

Pointy Bra Bro
Perhaps the exact reason Christopher Ciccone would not want you to give his art attention is arguably the only one that would cause you to give it a second look: he's Madonna's brother. Yes, that Madonna. The jilted sibling of one of pop culture's greatest icons is a person too! And with a talent all his own. Credited for video and tour production, as well as interior design, Ciccone is most famous for his memoir, Life With My Sister Madonna, a book which, to everyone's lackluster surprise, paints a less than flattering picture of the mystery that is Madge. However, his talent, it seems, reaches past genetic association and on to canvas, film, glassine...or whatever blank surface is available within his reach. We'll see. For those interested in a show that "comprises and defines my 'Hollywood' period," HCG Gallery invites you to view The Art of Christopher Ciccone. Also on display at the exhibit will be snapshots set to appear in his upcoming book of erotic poetry and photography, and of course, a tour video reel featuring the sister he seems keen to hate to love. The exhibit starts Saturday and runs through March 6 at the HCG Gallery, 1130 Dragon St., Suite 190. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call 214-760-9230 or visit hcggallery.com.
Saturdays, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; Tuesdays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Starts: Jan. 30. Continues through March 6, 2010

56 Up…in this life together
Sometimes we meet people and wonder years later, "I wonder what happened to them?"
The "Up" series gives us a glimpse into that wondering. Michael Apted, a British filmmaker, started the series in 1964 with "Seven Up" interviewing 14 children – at age 7 – and telling their stories. Telling evolved into following this group every seven years and this fall we can see what became of those children – now 56 years old.
Often we define ourselves through our differences. Apted has learned that we are much more alike in our human experiences of love, loss, relationship and human longing than perhaps we understand. Watch for the "56 Up" installment this fall on PBS. (See story)

Looking south from the north shore of the Cromarty Firth, there was plenty of wildlife to see. What captivated my attention were the harbour seals, but this is not surprising as both harbour and grey seals have always fascinated me. It started many years ago when I could sit and hear the grey seals "moaning" from their rocks not far from my house in the north-west. Looking at them on the coast, I sometimes used to sing to them, although I always wondered whether the reason they swam close and stared was their attraction to my voice or sheer amazement at such a din. As with the harbour seals, their rounded heads, big flippers, whiskery muzzles and large, dark eyes make them so appealing. They have the habit of floating vertically with their heads pointed upwards, looking like floating bottles, hence the term "bottling" that applies to both grey and harbour seals.
As for the harbour seals at Foulis Ferry, there were several close to the shore on the rocks. Such groups of seals are called "haul-outs" but this is a misnomer. In fact, the seals lie on the first rock to be revealed and then wait for the tide to go out. As part of the Year of Natural Scotland 2013, Scottish Natural Heritage launched a campaign to ask the public their choice of "Scotland's Big Five" species. One of the five suggested was the harbour seal and, as with the other four, SNH also gave the local names for them. For example, the harbour seal is "the curious sea dog". The other four were the golden eagle, "the high flyer", the otter, "the whiskered diver", the red deer stag, "the roaring monarch" and the red squirrel, "the tufted acrobat". Interestingly, I had never heard of any of these local names. The response from the public has been outstanding and other species such as the sea eagle and capercaillie have also been put forward as contenders for the Big Five.

DJ Motion Potion, otherwise known as Robbie Kowal, performs with the mind of a chess player. "I'm always thinking about what's the next song or where does this go from here," Kowal said. "A certain song will have a horn part or a certain kind of vocal and I'll bring in another song with that element.
"I listen really carefully, and maybe I'll have a song with the word 'salvation' in it, and I'll follow it with something else about salvation. It's a deeper look at the music, not just the tempo."
Some of his gigs are played spontaneously, but others are preplanned, depending on their complexity. Last year, when he opened for Gov't Mule in New Orleans, he spun a 45-minute set made up of 30-second pieces of popular rock songs.
"I had to work out that set beforehand," he said.
Motion Potion, or MoPo, will play two gigs in Steamboat Springs at Mahogany Ridge. He played Thursday in a style he calls "funk hop," where he plays a song mixed with a hip-hop track that sampled it.
Saturday's gig will be a special Valentine's Day set.
"I'll lean on the soul greats -- Al Green, Marvin Gaye -- especially early in the night, then I imagine getting funkier," Kowal said.
MoPo bills himself as "the DJ who plays to the people who don't like DJs."
"I try to create a sound for people who like live music, for people who aren't beatheads," Kowal said. "It's for people who like complete music and not just vapid beats."
The role of the DJ is to be the "captain of the party," he said. "No matter what the vibe is, you have to be willing to put on the vibe that matches. That's the real art. It's a two-way street. You channel the environment into your choices of music. You lead them in a positive direction with one record or one idea."
Don't go to Saturday's show expecting to hear Top-40 hits. That's not the kind of music MoPo listens to and not the music he buys.
"People come in and ask for a Janet Jackson track. I don't have it. I don't listen to that stuff," he said. "I don't have to play The Neptunes' greatest hits, and I'm not going to play Reuben. Part of this is education."

That looks awesome Rudy!
Just a short video of a test fire with one of the DI 45 ACP uppers I make on a standard AR15 lower with no modifications.
Installed in the magwell is the preproduction model ( had to prove the CNC program) of the new magwell adaptor that uses HK USC magazines available from Promag in 10 15 and 20 round versions. The 10 and 15 round mags are shown in the test...neither loaded to capacity as we know the adaptor works....just wanted to confirm the new feature, a functional last round bolt hold open.
That looks awesome Rudy!
Yer torsion spring is in it.....
Very cool,
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
While I love the CNC Ar45 lower....I have 5 of them, and consider it to be the premier platform for the AR45... as well as one on a Cav arms with Hahn adaptor that I like as well....especially for haulin down in the swamps.....I just see the need for more ways to feed the 45 AR to really make it a mainstream AR. This will be a help to those whose budgets are tight as well as those with SBR lowers they want to run with 45. I have another cool surprise or two that will be ready in the next couple of months as well.....
I want one. Please let us know when their ready..

Hope to do an initial run of the adaptors next week and should have the kits ready to ship by early next month. Meant to have a hundred or so uppers on the shelf by now...but My CNC lathe is being bitchy...it won't repeat when threading......been wearing a Haas repairman out...they are sending a new guy and more parts monday.......

Skin Care. Inês Pais
Transboavista Arts Center is one of Lisbon´s most exiting contemporary art sites. It includes Plataforma Revolver, VPF Cream Art Gallery and Rock Gallery. Four floors filled with art - you arrive breathless to Plataforma Revolver at the top floor, at the attic after going through about five other openings. Right before the top you find Inês Pais´ exibition, at VPF Cream Art Gallery. Some of you might have come across her face, either in her production or in a venue around you. Inês Pais´s work deals with skin. This solo exhibition, "NUDE", is about her latest achievements. It shows us 3 photographs and one installation piece. Lets grasp two images 30 years apart from each other: Woody Allen, "Interiors" (1978). "Eve" holds a very intellectual personality but also an emotionally dysfunctional one. The foundations of her character, which is central to the development of "Interiors", is based upon her job as an interior designer and on her attraction to nude colours, i.e. skin shades, used to perform a very controlled and consistent elegance. Thirty years later, in Madrid. Caixa Fórum (Herzog & De Meuron, 2008): Façade´s cladding in Corten steel. The specific qualities of this material allow it to oxidize at the surface, transforming its exterior structure in order to preserve the interior, protecting itself from the weathers aggressions. Besides, Herzog & De Meuron decided to present this material cut in squares, that resemble digital pixels pixels.
These are two moments that led us to a central dichotomy on our western culture: on one hand the digital representation of our organic existence and hand that real organic existence on the other. Inês Pais´work is based on the tension upon these two realities. This new solo exhibition, presented one year after her latest solo exhibition "Religio", (Sala do Veado, 2009, Lisbon), shows us the evolution of a very specific research. "NUDE" is the development of "Religio" in many ways. We are confronted with two series, "Pixels" and "The Nude Clown". "Pixels" is a suspended piece of cloth, made out of several fabrics that represent pixels. These pixels where isolated by zooming on a digital picture of the artists' skin. They follow cosmetics industry's practice of communicating certain qualities of a product, like colour, shine, refinement, fabrics. "The Nude Clown" is a series of three photographs that show us a female figure. In a subtle way this figure reminds us of a clown. Power relations, related to the symbolism of the clown by art history, are therefore associated to these works. Facing her pale face, her strong opinions, under the pixel-filtered light at Madrid's Caixa Forum's Cafeteria, it isn't hard to notice that Inês Pais talks clearly about "NUDE" because she is quite the opposite.
In her past works, Pais was interested in skin as part of the artistic production as possible universal and, go ecumenical phenomena, if we try to structure the complexity and the extension that this research implies. "NUDE" is a reference to the eighties and the nineties, revisited cyclically by Life Style Gurus. Inês Pais added it to her research, following a path that includes several attempts to picture how the world is represented on human skin. "Religio" (Sala do Veado, 2009) presented several elements of skin-painting, dealing with both ancient traditional body-painting and contemporary urban body-painting (make-up, tattooing). "Religio" also reflected upon how skin is a complex medium that elaborates our exchanges with the ouside world. Since the beginning of her career as an artist, Inês Pais worked with the idea of a package, of a format, of a skin, that would allow men and woman to preserve an autonomy towards the exterior, both individually and socially. Pais´ work questions many different things, from the fashion industry, to occidental medicine, to anthroposophy, suggesting a new (skin-) approach to face individual and group issues related to identity.

Welcome to our new on-line catalogue!
Well, it's been more than 45 years since we first offered our products in Sky & Telescope magazine and I believe the only other firm that has been around longer is Edmund Scientific. We both must be doing something right.
As you look over our equipment you will see some new and innovative ideas, namely the O.P.O. line of orthoscopic planetary oculars. But on the whole, you'll find the same solid, time- proven eyepieces and telescope making parts for which we're famous.
The Konigs first appeared in the early 60's, so they can now take their place beside orthoscopics, Erfles, and Kellners as true "classics." The Konigs were the first of the modern wide-field oculars. When we first coined the phase "porthole into space," we knew it wouldn't be long before the term would be pilfered and used by the competition.
This brings me to another point. I talk to thousands of you on the phone and get the impression the media has given you the idea that you have to spend a fortune to get exceptional performance in an eyepiece. Well, quite a few years ago while serving in the military a bought an expensive watch in a navy P.X. in Southeast Asia. You'd know the name, the most famous brand of watch in the world. For a young 1st Lt., it was quite a chunk of change in those days. Well I still have it and once in a while I wear it. But to tell the truth, my $125 Swiss Army watch keeps far better time and on top of that, it's guaranteed water resistant even if we place it on the deck of the Titanic!
Our basic Abbe orthoscopic will give you better detail on Jupiter than most of the ultra expensive "designer boutique" eyepieces out there. In eyepieces, like watches, you don't always get what you pay for. If you want the "flash," you have to part with plenty of cash.
We pledge to continue helping young people build their first telescopes and expand their interest in astronomy with our telescope making supplies. For those of you at a more advanced level, you simply cannot go wrong with our extensive line of quality telescope oculars and accessories.

Will SoLoMoCo be the future of mobile or is it just another buzzword?
Arthur Policarpio, head of Mobext Asia Pacific, says there are many iterations of what SoLoMoCo means.
"But what's relevant for brands now is that SoLoMoCo presents a holistic way of selling or marketing products in the connected age, where all four elements – social, local, mobile, and commerce – are inter-connected."
This means brands must create products and shopping experiences that are highly shareable and create locally targeted offers to consumers anytime, anywhere. Their social, local, and mobile strategies should ultimately lead consumers through the purchase funnel and make a profitable business, he explains.
Examples of how SoLoMoCo is executed across the region vary depending on smartphone penetration and cost of mobile Internet offerings in the markets.
For example, the Havas-owned mobile agency ran a campaign with McDonald's in the Philippines that involves the distribution of mobile coupons during Chinese New Year. The fast-food chain has been distributing paper coupons in the past decade. This year, McDonald's allowed consumers to download coupons using their mobile devices through a mobile coupon website. The campaign also encouraged sharing via Facebook and coupon distribution through social networks with local call-to-actions to download coupons in stores and other various locations. As a result, mobile coupons showed significantly higher revenue to spend ratio compared to print coupons, which translated into sales for the brand. The success has led McDonald's Philippines to consider mobile coupons as an integral part of its marketing plans moving forward.
In Singapore, loyalty mobile app Perx partnered with Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to trial a group buying execution called "Chop Mob" where consumers could unlock a discount through collective participation. Perx had to generate more than 1,000 stamps across five Coffee Bean outlets in the city within a week. Once it hit the target, every user who bought coffee via the mobile app could claim a free drink from the coffee chain. A Perx exec claimed the campaign has helped increased the chain's transactions by 50 percent on its app.
KDDI, Japan's telecom operator, rolled out "Fashion WALL," a social commerce service for its customers to display and recommend products on their "walls" from actual clothing brands. These walls could be shared on Facebook and Twitter for friends to buy items from the virtual shops to earn points.
Thinking of building a business case for SoLoMoCo? Policarpio shares the following insights.
ClickZ: What does SoLoMoCo mean for businesses?
Arthur Policarpio: It means businesses can connect more deeply to their market, not just in the traditional buyer-seller model. For them to be successful in SoLoMoCo, they must be willing to invite their audience to actively participate in brand building. User-generated content, reviews, and other earned media now have more resonance for consumers than traditional media.
SoLoMoCo has also provided marketers with more touch points to understand their consumers better. They have better listening tools through social media, while new technology now allows them to keep track of consumers' purchasing history, preferences, and location. Businesses can harness these data points, to build even deeper and more progressive relationships with their loyal consumer base and use predictive technology to acquire new customers through highly-relevant communication.
The paradox is that while businesses now have the ability to reach their audience in an increasing number of touch points, consumers have more power than ever over brands. They can control how they are being advertised to.
SoLoMoCo has also democratized marketing in a way. If small businesses can find the right strategy for social, local, and mobile commerce, they can find footing like the mainstream brands that heavily advertise on traditional media. SoLoMoCo does not require as big a budget as traditional marketing, but if they are smart, they can make more impact.
CZ: How can businesses measure success for SoLoMoCo activations?
AP: SoLoMoCo success is a balance of factors such as social buzz, the size of the community built by and around your brand (including social media communities), and of course, actual revenues.
Having a loyal consumer base is also a great way to measure SoLoMoCo success since your loyal consumers are those who can step up as unofficial brand ambassadors for your brand, not to mention that they will continually choose your brand amidst growing competition, now or in the future.
CZ: What similarities or differences do you observe in mobile and social commerce between Asia and the U.S.?
AP: Asia is unique because of the diversity of its markets. On one hand, you have the mobile-mature markets of Japan, Singapore, and South Korea, where people adapt to technology very fast. People respond very positively to the roll out of innovative mobile campaigns. These are also very highly urbanized cities where people value the convenience that mobile gives.
On the other hand, for developing countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and India, even if the mobile infrastructure is not as advanced, people are very dependent on their mobile devices and they rely on it for basic functions. The populations of these countries are big and widely dispersed. And mobile is the most cost-effective way of reaching these consumers. SoLoMoCo's success in these markets will depend on the utility it gives consumers.
One key thing from the West that we hope to see more in APAC is a strategic mobile loyalty program. There are still many one-off mobile campaigns here that are not tied to existing loyalty programs of brands. It represents a big missed opportunity in terms of building personal and progressive relationships with their consumers. In the U.S., retailers, fast-food chains and restaurants, and even FMCGs, tie up their marketing efforts with a mobile loyalty program.

The Destination
Leave it to Shakespeare to unite the people. Seventy-eight years after the inaugural Oregon Shakespeare Festival, held each year between February and October, Ashland has grown into a gathering place for fans not only of the theater but of the arts in general. And with the arts comes other culture: creative restaurants, hip cocktail bars, higher education, boutique shops. Add to that the region's famous hot springs, and it's no surprise that Ashland is often considered one of America's best small towns.
The Digs
The grounds at Lithia Springs Resort, just outside Ashland, are humming with life: Flower gardens, arbors, koi ponds, aspens, fruit trees, and berry bushes greet guests at every turn. Each of 28 tastefully appointed suites features a private soaking tub filled with spring waters that are said to help the body heal skin conditions, digestive disorders, arthritis, and stress. The newly remodeled Spa and Patio bungalows are appointed with modern accents, clean lines, and mixed textures, and each boasts a plush queen-size bed and a separate living area.
For dinner, head downtown to Larks Restaurant, tucked away in the historic Ashland Springs Hotel. Here, comfort food meets seasonal, sustainable cuisine in dishes like wild, locally caught salmon, pork chop and Dungeness crab fondue, and home-style meatloaf.
For additional information, visit Lithia Springs Resort on Facebook.
"Fans of mineral springs will definitely want to stay here; the water that flows from the taps here is super-soft mineral water that smells awful but feels great on your skin..."-- Frommer's

Celiac Disease, IBD May Raise Migraine Risk »
"March 1, 2013 -- People with celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease appear to have more migraine headaches than people without the conditions, a new study shows.
Researcher Peter H. Green, MD, of Columbia University in New York,"...
Read the Celiac Disease, IBD May Raise Migraine Risk article »
IMODIUM® (loperamide hydrochloride) is indicated for the control and symptomatic relief of acute nonspecific diarrhea and of chronic diarrhea associated with inflammatory bowel disease. IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) is also indicated for reducing the volume of discharge from ileostomies.
(1 capsule = 2 mg)
Patients should receive appropriate fluid and electrolyte replacement as needed.
Acute Diarrhea
Adults: The recommended initial dose is 4mg (two capsules) followed by 2 mg (one capsule) after each unformed stool. Daily dose should not exceed 16mg (eight capsules). Clinical improvement is usually observed within 48 hours.
Children: In children 2 to 5 years of age (20 kg or less), the non-prescription liquid formulation (IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) A-D 1 mg/5 mL) should be used; for ages 6 to 12, either IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) Capsules or IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) A-D Liquid may be used. For children 2 to 12 years of age, the following schedule for capsules or liquid will usually fulfill initial dosage requirements:
Recommended First Day Dosage Schedule
Two to five years: 1 mg t.i.d. (3mg daily dose) (13 to 20 kg) Six to eight years: 2 mg b.i.d. (4mg daily dose) (20 to 30 kg) Eight to twelve years: 2mg t.i.d. (6mg daily dose) (greater than 30 kg)
Recommended Subsequent Daily Dosage
Following the first treatment day, it is recommended that subsequent IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) doses (1 mg/10 kg body weight) be administered only after a loose stool. Total daily dosage should not exceed recommended dosages for the first day.
Chronic Diarrhea
Children: Although IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) has been studied in a limited number of children with chronic diarrhea; the therapeutic dose for the treatment of chronic diarrhea in a pediatric population has not been established.
Adults: The recommended initial dose is 4 mg (two capsules) followed by 2 mg (one capsule) after each unformed stool until diarrhea is controlled, after which the dosage of IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) should be reduced to meet individual requirements. When the optimal daily dosage has been established, this amount may then be administered as a single dose or in divided doses.
The average daily maintenance dosage in clinical trials was 4 to 8 mg (two to four capsules). A dosage of 16 mg (eight capsules) was rarely exceeded. If clinical improvement is not observed after treatment with 16 mg per day for at least 10 days, symptoms are unlikely to be controlled by further administration. IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) administration may be continued if diarrhea cannot be adequately controlled with diet or specific treatment.
Children under 2 Years
The use of IMODIUM (loperamide hcl) in children under 2 years is not recommended. There have been rare reports of paralytic ileus associated with abdominal distention. Most of these reports occurred in the setting of acute dysentery, overdose, and with very young children less than two years of age.
No formal pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in elderly subjects. However, there were no major differences reported in the drug disposition in elderly patients with diarrhea relative to young patients. No dosage adjustment is required for the elderly.
Renal Impairment
No pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with renal impairment. Since the metabolites and the unchanged drug are mainly excreted in the feces, no dosage adjustment is required for patients with renal impairment (see PRECAUTIONS section).
Hepatic Impairment
Although no pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with hepatic impairment, IMODIUM (loperamide hcl) should be used with caution in such patients because of reduced first pass metabolism. (see PRECAUTIONS).
Capsules - each capsule contains 2 mg of loperamide hydrochloride. The capsules have a light green body and a dark green cap with "JANSSEN" imprinted on one segment and "IMODIUM" on the other segment. IMODIUM® (loperamide hcl) capsules are supplied in bottles of 100.
Store at 15°-25°C (59°-77°F).
Janssen Pharmaceutica Inc. Revised September 1996, July 1998. FDA Rev date: 10/21/2005This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Alison Trebilco could almost be a poster girl for the new age of free-market nursing. She loves the excitement of hospital work, but cherishes the flexible hours that allow her to keep tabs on the stockmarket and pursue a part-time course at Swinburne - in entrepreneurship.
Ms Trebilco, an emergency room specialist with the Nursing Australia agency, prefers to work occasional hospital night shifts and use the daylight hours to pursue her entrepreneurial interests. "I'm very interested in the stockmarkets and I like to follow that during the day rather than being at work," she says.
She has been on and off the wards for 19 years since she began as a general nurse at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. She now works on-call at hospitals across Melbourne.
"I like the flexibility and I like the variety," she says of agency nursing. "I like to be able to go around to different hospitals - you're exposed to different cultures and different medical staff with a variety of expertise."
Ms Trebilco doesn't hesitate when asked if her agency experience has made her a better nurse. "Absolutely," she says, "it makes you more adaptable."
Agency nursing can offer a more relaxed lifestyle that relieves nurses from inflexible rosters, she says. This increased freedom is particularly appealing to nurses with young families and others, like her, who are studying part-time.
