Graduating from high school is an educational milestone. Congratulations. To be successful in life you must be educated, and you must be a hard worker.
Even though education comes in different forms, you cannot expect to be successful if you do not have the requisite skills to reach your goals. It is a cop-out to say that luck is the only reason successful people are successful. Thomas Jefferson said it right: "I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
As you enter the adult world, you are responsible for your future. Life is never easy or fair. Your past may be filled with difficulty, and your future will certainly contain some adversity. You need not let your past define your future.
Do not give other people the power to define your self-worth. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who blame others and see the glass of life as half-empty, and those who take responsibility, seeing the glass as half-full. Be the positive person who sees the glass as half-full. Be grateful for the blessings in your life. There are blessings in every life — you just have to look.
Successful people do not succeed at every task undertaken. Being successful requires the ability to overcome adversity, the ability to learn from failure, and the ability to try again if something is really important.
Don't be an air thief. An air thief is someone that walks in the room and sucks the life out of everyone in his or her presence. An air thief always takes and never gives. Make sure that your life involves helping others. People will help you. Make sure to thank them often and profusely. If you can't return the favor, pay it forward.
Engage in random acts of kindness. True generosity does not need any recognition. Every morning make a commitment to compliment another human being. Make your compliment more than superficial. If someone opens a door for you, rather than just saying, "Thanks," compliment the person for having good manners. If someone looks good, rather than saying, "I like your dress," say, "You have good taste and style."
Lastly, smile when you look at people. People respond warmth and positive energy. I cannot promise you an easy life, but I can promise you a fulfilling life. The choice is yours.

Elephants Can Dance – So can You: Arthur Murray® Dance Lessons
Elephants Can Dance – So can You: Arthur Murray® Dance Lessons
A dedicated dance teacher can give lessons to anyone- or anything! Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studios in Redlands California shared this picture last week on their Facebook Page. This dancing elephant was trained to do gravity defying dance moves. If this elephant can beat the odds- so can any student who walks in the doors of an Arthur Murray Franchised Dance Studio and meets with our specially trained dance instructors.
While its clear that our studio in Redlands, CA likes to have a bit of fun- they also are currently running a very special program, we'll let them say it in their own words:
Our Waltzing Warriors Program is starting off with a big bang. Our new Veterans are saying, "never knew I'd love dancing so much" and "I'm dancing with my wife for the first time in 44 years"
Why is Redlands offering special ballroom dancing lessons to our Military Veterans? First as a gesture of gratitude for the sacrifices they made by their service. The second reason may have to do with a post from January that Redlands put on their Facebook Page:
We humans are pack animals that need others in our lives. We humans need to keep our minds and bodies active. Sooo LEARN TO DANCE.
The gift of dance is not just lessons- this is social dancing, after all! Which means that dance is a way for people to come together and that is a powerful idea.

Researcher Builds Better System for Monitoring Volcanoes
WenZhan Song hopes a new generation of smart sensors he is developing will allow scientists to monitor volcano activity in real time, and give people more time to reach safety before a lethal eruption.
Song, an associate professor of computer science at Georgia State University, got interested in volcano research while living in Washington state. The infamous Mount St. Helens was practically in his backyard.
When the volcano blew in 1980, it became the most destructive eruption in U.S. history, killing 57 people and destroying more than 200 homes. Ash clogged sewage systems, damaged cars and buildings, and temporarily shut down air traffic over the Northwest. Mudslides tore downhill, traveling nearly 50 miles from their source. In the end, damage to the timber and agriculture industries and to the area's infrastructure was estimated at more than $1 billion.
"Volcano hazards directly involve people," Song said. "If we could study and understand them, we would potentially be able to predict an eruption earlier, before it happens."
Song is the principal investigator for a project known as VolcanoSRI (Seismic Realtime Imaging).
The idea is to harness the power of sensors, small computer-like devices, to gather and crunch data faster and in more detail.
Song isn't the first to use wireless sensors to study volcanoes, but his project is important because it involves what scientists call distributed tomography imaging. This approach uses algorithms – essentially a formula to crunch data – and distributes that data among the sensors to perform real-time calculations within the network, he said.
"The devices can talk to each other and form a mesh network," Song said. "Each of those stations is detecting the arriving earthquake signals, which penetrate through the magma areas."
The effort, supported by a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation, will use the data gathered by the sensors to produce a real-time, high-resolution image of a volcano system. The resulting image goes beyond 3-D because the images change as new data comes in, creating what scientists call a 4-D image.
10 Most Deadly Volcano Eruptions
|Cause of Death
|Tambora, Indonesia
|Krakatau, Indonesia
|Mt. Pelee, Martinique
|Ash flows
|Ruiz, Colombia
|Unzen, Japan
|Volcano collapse, tsunami
|Laki, Iceland
|Kelut, Indonesia
|Galunggung, Indonesia
|Vesuvius, Italy
|Mudflows, lava flows
|Vesuvius, Italy
|Ash flows and falls
Source: Volcano World website administered through the Department of Geosciences at Oregon State University.
Song hopes the system will allow researchers to develop a deeper understanding of how volcanoes work, and to improve early warning systems for volcanoes and other earth hazards.
He and his team will travel to South America in 2015 to put their technology to the test, placing 500 seismometer sensors, also known as geophones, around an active volcano named Cotopaxi. The volcano, in the Andes Mountains, south of Quito, Ecuador, erupted in 1877, sending mudflows that traveled for 60 miles and killing 1,000 people.
The research team, which includes members from University of North Carolina and Michigan State University, plans to run the sensor network for up to three months. They chose a South American volcano because volcanoes in the United States tend to be less active.
In the past, data had to be fed into a centralized database and it could take months to organize and analyze.
"Here, the computing is done among the 500 sensor stations in real-time," Song said. "The network of sensor nodes is basically a supercomputer cluster. The data will be processed within this wireless network and the 3-D image will be sent out in real time."
The approach taken in the VolcanoSRI project could also have important applications for oil field exploration, biomedical health monitoring and structural monitoring of bridges and tall buildings. Song said the system can also be used to find oil under the ocean, using hydrophones, which are sensors that can be used underwater.
In many fields, such as oil exploration, using sensors has traditionally required cables weighing tons and possibly stretching for miles. Months-long delays in transporting and crunching data added to the cost. But a system of smart sensors could simplify the hunt for new oil fields.
"Smart sensors have many very important implications," Song said. "The main instrumentation is the same."

This is the pattern I am working on
Row 1 (WS): Sl 1, k4, *place marker (pm), p6, k5; repeat from across--71 sts. This is where I got stuck last night, because when I came to the end I still had more stitches to knit. I get you just slip the fisrt stitch than knit 4 (pm) p6 k 5. But I am suppose to repeat from the k4 to k5 or skip the k4 and continue with the p6? THanks for your help.
Row 2 (RS): Sl 1, k4, *slip marker (sm), k6, k5; repeat from * across.
Row 3: Sl 1, k4, *sm, p6, k5; repeat from * across
You slip 1, knit 4 and then repeat the p6 k5 6 times
Thanks everyone for your help. But I am lost again
Here is where I am lost
Row 7 (and all odd numbered rows): Sl 1, k4, *sm, purl to 5 sts before next st marker, k5' repeat from * to end.
So does that mean I purl 5 put a stitch marker knit 5 than purl 5 slip a marker and so forth to the end?
Your markers should already be in place, but yes, p5, sl marker, purl to 5 sts before the marker, k5, then repeat from the slip marker part between the *s.

Simple IRA Vs 401K - The Two Provide Tax Deductions To Employers http://www.401kvsira.info/simple-ira-vs-401k.html Simple IRA Vs 401K - When considering exactly which retirement plan to apply for the corporation, you might want to comprehend what will be the pros and cons for a simple IRA vs 401k retirement plan. Quite a few small and middle sized organizations hold up applying a retirement plan as they usually do not be aware of the major distinctions between two of the most popular kinds of plans. A simple (Financial savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees of Small-scale Employers) IRA plan is usually offered by companies that own one hundred or fewer workforce. A 401(k) plan can be provided by firms that own a number of workers. Considering the knowledge that the majority of individuals have with the 401k structure, it's no surprise that quite a few people are puzzled when their own employers introduce brand new a retirement plan concepts in to the company. The Simple IRA is among those concepts that workers sometimes find confusing when they're first introduced. The best thing is that the features of the SIMPLE plan are usually in preserving plan's name. Simple IRA rules actually are easier to know for workers, and far simpler to handle for employers as opposed to traditional 401k plan. The 5304 simple IRA IRS form is utilized to successfully create a simple individual retirement account. Companies should finish the 5304 simple IRA form previous to it can begin to make contributions for its own staff. Simple IRA Vs 401K - Basic Steps to Adhere to Before Companies can Set up a Simple IRA You can find several other steps which you can follow before a plan might be established along with filling out the 5304 simple IRA form. Companies can utilize the internal revenue service simple IRA plan model to create this pension savings plan for workers. In addition, organisations may make use of a
simple individual retirement account plan that banking companies, insurance providers and other qualified organizations will offer. Form 5305 simple IRA is used if the contributions will probably be deposited into a specified standard bank, which include Fidelity Investments or Franklin Templeton. Form 5304 simple IRA is used in case every single worker is actually permitted to go for his very own traditional bank to obtain the particular contributions. Companies will have to assure that all of the eligible staff members have the important information concerning the simple IRA plan the business is offering. The typical rule would be to give you the related information each year ahead of the employees' election time period. This lets the employee to get plenty of time to study the plan prior to making a decision to participate. The particular election time period is throughout the 60 days prior to January 1 of the calendar year. The ultimate step for companies is always to create a simple IRA account for all of the suitable employees as either a trust as well as custodial account. The Internal Revenue Service forms which will apply to this step can be Form 5305-S or Form 5305-SA correspondingly. The Internal Revenue Service provides various forms besides the 5304 simple IRA which firms will have to use correctly while creating retirement accounts. Many businesses prefer to hire an outside broker having properly trained experts who are generally very knowledgable about which form to choose, and when to use the item. This may decrease the amount of costly problems business employers could possibly make when the incorrect form is used, or even if forms are not registered on time. No matter whether a firm decides to apply an outside agency or perhaps their own benefits department, it is best to double check that the right procedures are being implemented. The 5304 simple IRA form does include details that if implemented in the right way will guarantee compliance. All in all, since each and every plan provides certain advantages and disadvantages, ensure that you consult with a retirement plans specialist before you make a choice.

Lampedusa Cross Pilgrimage Service - London
25 June 2016, 02:30pm ‐ 03:30pm
020 8449 6970
Notre Dame de France, Leicester Place, WC2H 7BX
Westminster Justice and Peace, with the kind hospitality of Notre Dame de France Church, and in association with CAFOD, the London Catholic Worker, Notre Dame de France Refugee Centre, and the London Ethnic Chaplaincies invite you to the Lampedusa Cross Pilgrimage Service to he held at Notre Dame de France, Leicester Place.
The theme for Refugee Week this year is 'Welcome', and we are marking the occasion with a service inspired by the Lampedusa Cross, and the welcome given by the islanders of Lampedusa to refugees arriving from Africa by boat over the last 15 years.
Francesco Tuccio, a carpenter living on the island of Lampedusa, was at Mass in his local church and among the congregation were bedraggled groups of newly arrived Eritrean migrants, weeping for loved ones who had drowned during the Mediterranean crossing. After the service Francesco went to the beach and began collecting the blistered, brightly coloured driftwood from the wreckage of migrant boats that had washed up on Lampedusa's shores. He offered every migrant he saw a small cross as a symbol of their rescue and of hope for a new life.
Join us to pray for hope of new life for the thousands of refugees across Europe and beyond.

i'm excited for it to be OVER!!! i get all skittery thinking about walking her into the hospital. into registration. waiting. pre-op. waiting waiting waiting. and then the dreaded recovery room. when we see her for the first time. ok, now i'm gonna throw up.
i think i was saying how excited i was??
yea, something like that :)
i got a sweet email from my friend ashley this week. her baby girl is in china. she's in the hardest part of the journey...the unknown part. she told me that the new shared list of children was released from china this week and many joyful families are seeing the sweet faces of their children. she reminded me of last year...one week before christmas when we got our email and we saw emery's tiny little photo for the first time.
my mind has been so focused on surgery...i sort of forgot what a special christmas this is.
emery's very first one...and the first with our whole family together.
it's quite surreal when i think about it...
and yet, it feels normal. natural. the way it's supposed to be.
maybe that's why i forgot...because it feels odd to think of a day without her.
like we were a different family way back then

While Apple may have finally managed to close down uber-rumour site ThinkSecret that hasn't stopped the information leaks.
Just one day after firmware 1.1.3 slipped into the world high flying Variety magazine is reporting that 24 hour iTunes movie rentals are coming early next year (or this year in a few hours...).
The heavily laced DRM titles will be available with prices ranging from $2 up to $5 - most likely dependant on the flick's age - with Disney and Fox content leading the way. Variety reports that Lionsgate, MGM and Paramount are also in talks, while usual humbuggers Sony, Universal and Warner Bros are not interested.
Of course in a perfect world (for Apple) rental content is a wonderful revenue stream, but it also polarises the attention of every actual and would-be hacker on the planet who all see the potential for garnering ultra cheap purchases from iTunes.
Ultimately however it is more likely a question of 'when' rather than 'if' iTunes will go down this route.
So chalk it up as another potential announcement for MacWorld in January. Along with Firmware 1.1.3 and an ultra portable MacBook from the last week alone...

Llama 1911 .45
I'm surprised that you've not received any snotty replies to your question...everyone must be feeling especially kind and considerate during the holidays. Normally, when anyone mentions a Llama handgun, they are skewered and vilified in short order.
Having said that, I'd surmise that the answer to your question is...no. Your Llama is probably more valuable to you than anyone else, especially if it's running well. I also have a Llama...a Max-I C/F duotone, and I actually like the thing. It's not the most beautiful, well made 1911 pattern gun that I own, but the thing is accurate and dependable.
Sometimes, I think that I have the only Llama ever made in this universe that actually worked, judging from the comments that most folks will make about them. Still, it's generally understood that Llamas were a lesser choice, purchased mainly by folks who couldn't afford a Colt. Their reputation as a quality, working gun is nonexistent, and I've never heard of any type of collector's market for them. There is collector interest for a number of older Star handguns, but the Llamas just never seemed to get there.
You can be reasonably assured that you probably won't get what you paid for it, so I'd just keep it and save for another gun, if that's where you're headed. Best of luck...
Llama's from 25 years ago are definitely not collectible or highly sought after. I think that was pretty close to their lowest point as far as quality is concerned. I've heard of some of the 60's era pistols being pretty nice, but have never seen one in person. If your pistol shoots well and you're happy with it, then shoot the rip out of it. It won't be worth any less than it is right now.
I have a Max-I in full hard chrome that's a good shooter. I have a couple of friends with this same model and their guns shoot well and are 100% reliable. The Llama models with the most problems are the ones that utilize double stack, high cap mags, and I believe that is due to the poor quality of the mag and not the pistol.
I prob have the exact same model as you do but in blue, purchased around the same time, but in my case, I couldn't get that sucker to fire more than 2 rounds without jamming. I sent it off to 2 or 3 diff gunsmiths with no help. I finally, this year, had the beast disabled and turned into a deskclock. When I get that hunk o metal back, I'll post a picture.
I just hope it tells time better than it shot

llama 1911
new here so be kind. i just left a similar post on an old thread this is newer so it may help out a bit more. i received my llama 12 years and close to 10000 rds ago brand new for under 300. don't remember the exact price. notice the safety plunger was broke were the spring hooked on. 95 cents from ctd. for a gun used that much not bad i think. i believe we are all quick to judge some thing. if it was a top brand and had the same problem we would say my thats a fine piece of craftsmanship. Remington 700s fire by themselves does this mean all Remington are junk. ive witnessed a brand new beneli not work at all and it was a top of the line model. saw a ruger 9mm jam every other round. had colts fail on me. watched a m2 50cal explode. seen barrels shot off. does this mean all of these are crap. personally i don't think so. i look at it like this, guns are mass produced so failures are going to happen. again just my 2 cents. and if any one has a reliability issue your invited to shoot some beer cans with me any time
I have other 1911s which include Kimbers, Springfield, STI, Dan Wesson, etc, and the Llama is not in the same league in terms of fit and finish. This doesn't detract from my enjoyment of shooting it. There's not much to hate about a gun that is reliable and accurate.
very true. but when a right minded individual purchases a 1911 for 250 or less what kind of factory support can they really expect. dont get me wrong i am in no hurry to go out and buy another one or any 1911 for that matter simply because an 8 pound carry weapon isnt very practical. llamas have a piece of 1911 history, we cannot deny that whether it be good or bad. i believe its still a decent inexpensive beginner piece.
I been collecting the spanish pistols from the astra 400's/600/43's, the the star super, BM, and B to now the llama extra in 9mm largo/38acp. My recent find of the llama extra in 9mm largo is awesome its a 1911 clone and big and heavy i like it. I also seen a llama in 45acp locally but i need to take a closer look at it. My point is yes there are spanish pistol collectors too. My problem is i like them all. Broke but happy, Czy
Price wise a llama in 45acp would be worth by the condition its in. I would guess between $250 to $300 in the area.

Gun Safety never sleeps or takes a day off, besafe do it right......
I bought my Max-I C/F in 1997, just to have a .45 to shoot, drop in the mud, get scratched up, and take the heat off of my Kimber and Springfield. I figured if it didn't work well, I could play with it. If I ruined it, no big deal.
Well, I must've lucked out. I did have a problem with the trigger, in that it had a burr that would catch on the frame, and I couldn't pull the thing hard enough to make it fire. After I detail stripped the gun and remedied that situation, I had no further problems of any sort. It's still got a crappy trigger, but the fool thing is reliable, accurate and I can ring a 10" gong at 50 yards with little effort. I got to the point where I didn't want to drop it in the mud or scratch it up.
It sits in my safe, welcome as all the others, and it has its own portrait. Here's a toast to all working Llamas!
BTW; My LLama extra is a 1911 clone and i was told all the inner parts in the frame the standard 1911 parts will inter change with the llama 1911 clone.

Gun Safety never sleeps or takes a day off, besafe do it right......
I've purchased a Llama .45 govt for $270, and I must say I think it's beautiful. It has wood grips, and the bottom frame metal has a red tint I haven't seen on any other firearm. Now yes, it has jammed on me, and I'm procuring some Llama ejectors to fix that problem. I'd like to invest a barrel into it, though I question whether or not I can really count on it lasting long enough to be worth that investment.
All said though, I must say: I think it's a beautiful gun, cheap and unique.
Since i have had two bad new colt 1911's and one new springer that still doesn't go thru a mag of ammo without jamming after 20+ years of owning it i'm going looking for an upgrade to a llama 45acp next. My luck can't get any worse i had 3 boat anchors already. It could just be my bad luck. One bad one out of millions and i get it, often...

This famous hotel has an attractive exterior, with its name emblazoned in blue and white stained glass above the entrance and flags hanging from poles, giving it a cosmopolitan look. Since 2004 this landmark hotel has been in the caring ownership of the proprietor, Ciaran Fitzgerald, who continues to do everything possible to build on and develop its reputation as a premier destination in this historic town.
Due to the nature of the building, public areas are quite compact, but regular refurbishment - and reinvention - ensure best use of space and there is always a fresh feeling to the design and decor. The reception and bar areas have a pleasantly open and contemporary feeling, and there's a cocktail lounge incorporating a residents' lounge where afternoon tea can be served during the day.
All the bedrooms have double glazing to offset the street noise that is inevitable in a central location and, although not large, both the rooms and their neat bathrooms make up in thoughtful planning anything they lack in spaciousness - and there is extra accommodation available a few doors away at The Old Bank House (see entry), which is in common ownership.
Although Kinsale is mainly seen as a tourist destination, the hotel is also an attractive business venue, offering a selection of meeting room options (up to 25 board room style / 80 theatre style), also excellent corporate accommodation rates from €69 B&B per room for single occupancy.
*The Blue Haven Food Company offers a range of quality products, which are stylishly presented and available on site, at The Old Bank House and online - along with a small collection of clothing and accessories.
Conferences/Banqueting (80); free broadband wi/fi, secretarial services. Children welcome (unders 8s free in parents' room, cots available, baby sitting arranged). Room service (limited hours). No pets. Street parking. Rooms 17 (4 shower only, 3 single, 17 no smoking). B&B €100, ss €40.
Restaurants & Bars:
The Blue Haven aims to offer more than the usual hotel dining room experience and, whether in one of the the bars or the newer Seafood Café @ The Blue Haven, a meal here can be very enjoyable; at its best the dining experience can hold its own in a town renowned for its exceptional choice of eating places.The Seafood Café & Oyster Bar has become a popular dining destination in the town, with an interesting wine list and engaging service always contributing to a pleasant evening.
A lobster tank at the entrance sets the tone for enjoyment of the best local catches, cooked by Head Chef Lee Kennedy and his team, who offer a wide range of classic and contemporary seafood dishes including Calamari Tempura, Kinsale Lobster & Frites (a snip, at just €20), Fish Pie, Seafood Platters, Kinsale Crab & Shrimp Bruschetta, Chargrilled Swordfish Nicoise Style, Pan Seared Atlantic Scallops and more.
Guests also enjoy the atmosphere of The Blue Haven Bar, which offers cocktail and gin menus and an appealing choice of food, based mainly on local ingredients (Sun-Thu 7.30am- 9pm, Fri & Sat 7.30am-10pm - high season 7,30am-10pm daily) Also live music in the Blue Haven Bar every night in summer.
Aperitif is a stylish Wine and Tapas bar within the Blue Haven Hotel. A good choice for a light bite such as fusion tapas and a glass of wine from an extensive selection, it is also ideal for a coffee or pre dinner drink in atmospheric surroundings. (Tapas menu Wed-Sun, from 5.30pm; Aperitif is also available for private groups.)
Hamlets Bar, at the back of The Blue Haven Hotel, offers spacious outdoor areas and food; a pleasant place on sunny days, with craft beer and cocktails a particular attraction for many guests.

Manufacturer: Rocking R (View all products by Rocking R)
Model: Gaited Saddle (View all Gaited Saddle reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I accidentally bought a rocking R saddle on ebay, it was used, but barely. These saddles run around 1000 dollars. We have nothing but gaited horses and we needed a extra saddle.
Likes: This is the best gaited saddle I have had. I have tried a lot of saddles, including tennessean, dixieland, circle y, abetta, and many more. This is my most favorite saddle by far. It fits all our gaited horses and is very comfortable for horse and rider. It fits well and doesn't slip. Our horses seem to perform well with this saddle. We mainly trail ride and ride all day. Have had no sore backs on my horses from this saddle
Dislikes: I like everything. It is well made and comfortable. Wish it would come in a different color
Quality: It is very well constructed, well stitched and nice tooling. Fenders are preturned and don't give you sore knee's. Leather is good and is easy to clean.
Summary: Great saddle. If I ever sell my dixieland saddle, I will definitely get another Rocking R gaited saddle.

Forum—Trout Research Makes a Splash!
A tiny chip, slipped just beneath the skin of your dog or cat, serves as a reliable identifier if your pet should stray. Staffers at veterinary offices or animal rescue centers can use the information embedded in the chip to help get your pet back to you.
But who would outfit a rainbow trout with its own silicon-chip identifier?
Scientists do.
In fact, giving a silvery trout its own high-tech name tag is a routine procedure at the ARS aquaculture research laboratories described in articles beginning on page 4.
Our geneticists are studying these experimental fish to learn more about the information locked inside trout genes. These genes, for example, may contain the sequence, or code, that enables certain trout to pack on proportionately more muscle (the tender flesh that we eat) faster than other trout. The little chips allow scientists to accurately identify who's who among a tankful of lively trout. That way, the researchers can more easily track inheritance of this or other prized traits. Stable inheritance of valuable traits is essential to breeding superior trout for tomorrow.
Other genetics research with trout may open a new market for growers of oats, barley, and perhaps other grains. Here's how: We're determining whether selected trout have a gene-derived ability to grow as quickly on grain-based feeds as they do on conventional feeds made with ocean fish.
Our pursuit of this trait is somewhat like trying to make a vegetarian out of a carnivore. Why attempt that? Because shifting to grain-based feed should cut production costs and ensure that we don't inadvertently overfish the world's oceans.
The secret to other valuable traits also lies within trout genes. That's why we're intent on deciphering the structure and function of all the genes in rainbow trout—what's known as the trout genome. Information about the structure of a length of trout genetic material—DNA—can be compared to sequences discovered in stretches of other species' DNA. Our scientists, and investigators from around the world, share such sequences by posting them on computerized, publicly accessible genome databases.
Once fish geneticists find a structure that matches that from a trout, it's possible that the genes' functions may also match. That's true even among forms of life as different as a turnip and a trout. Using genome databases to zero in on such similarities speeds and simplifies the task of pinpointing the precise role of each trout gene.
The ability to probe the genes of organisms throughout nature is an outgrowth of DNA discoveries made 50 years ago this year by James Watson and Francis Crick. Our modern-day sleuthing of rainbow trout genes should be invaluable in solving production problems inherent in raising not only this fish, but also its salmonid relatives—brown trout, brook trout, Pacific salmon, and Atlantic salmon. The work, for instance, should be helpful in the new Atlantic salmon research that we will begin in Maine at what will become the ARS National Cold Water Marine Aquaculture Research Center.
In all, our gene-based studies should help America's fish farmers cut production costs, remain good environmental stewards, and meet the growing demand for fresh fish.
Excellent suggestions and recommendations for the salmon and trout studies—and for our other aquaculture investigations—were provided by fish ranchers, researchers, and others who participated in a Joint National Aquaculture Program Planning Workshop, held in 2002 in St. Louis, Missouri. We'll use these ideas to update our National Program. We've posted highlights of the workshop on the World Wide Web at www.nps.ars.usda.gov. Once you're on the web site, click on "Aquaculture (#106)," then click on "National Program Planning Workshop."
This fall, as co-hosts of the United States Trout Farmers Association 2003 Annual Meeting, we'll have a new opportunity to make sure we're tackling growers' most troublesome problems.
Next year, we'll get additional ideas and feedback from colleagues convened as part of our agency's new scientific quality review system. (See "Forum," Agricultural Research, May 2002, p. 2.) This in-depth assessment will cover all aspects of our aquaculture program.
Trout and salmon are good for you. They are high in protein and rich in healthful omega-3 fatty acids. Our research will help guarantee that these and other farm-raised fish remain plentiful and affordable for you to enjoy.
Lewis W. Smith
"Forum" was published in the June 2003 issue of Agricultural Research magazine.

The Jordan, Knauff & Company (JKC) Valve Stock Index was up 16.3 percent over the last 12 months, keeping pace with the broader S&P 500 Index, up 16.8 percent. The JKC Pump Stock Index was down 7 percent for the same time period.1
The Institute for Supply Management's Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) registered 49.6 percent, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from July's reading of 49.8 percent, indicating contraction in the manufacturing sector for the third consecutive month. This is the lowest level for the PMI since July 2009. With a reading of 47.1 percent, the New Orders Index also signaled contraction for the third consecutive month. In addition, for the first time since May 2009, the Production Index fell into contraction territory. Of the 18 industries tracked, eight remain in expansion mode, an indication that the weakness is becoming fairly widespread. According to the ISM Report on Business in August 2012, supply executives commented on slowing sales and political and economic uncertainties.
New orders for manufactured goods, up two of the last three months, increased 2.8 percent to $478.6 billion in July, the U.S. Census Bureau reported. This followed a 0.5 percent decrease in June. Excluding transportation, new orders increased 0.7 percent. Shipments, up two of the last three months, increased 2 percent to $478.8 billion.
According to the Department of Labor, the economy added 96,000 jobs in August, much less than expected and down from 141,000 jobs in July. Gains were reported by professional and business services, education and health, as well as leisure and hospitality. However, the manufacturing sector lost 15,000 jobs, primarily at auto and metals firms. The labor force participation rate fell to 63.5 percent, the lowest rate since September 1981. With fewer individuals in the labor force, the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1 percent.
The share of U.S. total liquid fuel consumption met by imports of both crude oil and products has been falling since peaking at more than 60 percent in 2005. In 2011, it averaged 45 percent, down from 49 percent in 2010. The Energy Information Administration expects that the total net import share of consumption will continue to decline to 41 percent in 2012 and to 39 percent in 2013 because of the substantial increases in domestic crude oil production.2

Do you really need to wake up?
WeatherAlarm looks out of the window for you, so you can keep on sleeping!
Has it ever happened to you to be late for work because when you woke up it was raining and you got stuck in the traffic?
Maybe you always wake up early because you don't know what the weather will be like.
Weather alarm can solve your problem! Thanks to this new app, you will be able to set your alarm for a different time, depending on the weather.
At the stated time, WeatherAlarm will start up to check your place's weather conditions at that time: this way, you get to have real-time information, which are more reliable than a standard weather forecast.
After downloading this data, WeatherAlarm will wake you up if the condition you chose is verified, otherwise it will wait for the second set time.
Here are some examples of the way you can use this app:
1) I am supposed to get to work by 9.00. I usually wake up at 8.00, but if it rains there will be more traffic, so I'll have to wake up at 7.30.
Thanks to WeatherAlarm, I can set my alarm so that it ONLY rings at 7.30 if it's raining by that time;if not, it will let me sleep until 8.00!
2) I want to take a trip to the mountains, so I need to wake up early. Obviously, as soon as I wake up I'll have to look out of the window to make sure the weather is good. WeatherAlarm relieves me of this issue by checking the weather of the place I want to visit at any time I set. This way, if the weather isn't good enough, I will enjoy some extra sleep!
All the data is downloaded by WeatherUnderground, a meteorology facility used by millions of people all over the world. Should there be any mistake about the weather data, the responsibility is to be completely addressed to WeatherUnderground, and not to the app WeatherAlarm. We therefore kindly ask you not to give low grades to the app beacuse of this kind of problems. On the contrary, we invite you to send us this kind of feedback by email. It will be our concern to report any criticism to WeatherUnderground itself.
This is the free version. Differences between this and the Donate version are:
- ads
- 10-second wait to set a new alarm
- only one chance to snooze
Please support WeatherAlarm development by clicking on the ads during the wait.
You can also contribute to improve WeatherAlarm by buying WeatherAlarm Donate. That way you won't see any more ads and some of the money raised (0.30$) will be donated to Wikipedia and GIMP!
Why Wikipedia? Because we love free knowledge! We also believe it is one of the most important cooperative projects ever created.
Why GIMP? Because we love free software! GIMP sure is one of the most important pieces of software in the open source scenery, and it has been used for developing our app.

Re: Presenting AOW: Art of War Wrestling - The Greatest Affair
Oblivion Feedback
Very much looking forward to this one I must say, what with the PPV right around the corner now. Anyways, onto it..
A hell of a match to start things off, you should be very pleased with the way you wrote this, first class from top to bottom. The story throughout the match was excellent with Show dismantling Punk with the underdog showing his resolve only to finally be finished off. There were several passages I really liked too, I wont highlgiht them all but one in particular was It gets worse when Wright throws Punk near some ropes and stands on top of his abdomen, Punks Straight Edge tattoo being swallowed by the enormous feet of The Great. Just the words used in there were great and I could really imagine it. Nice to see Van Dam and Lashley come to his aid afterwards, though not to sure why Lashley did as hes not all that involved and Punk refusing to be helped out was a nice touch for his character. Great opening.
Before I get on to whats next, one little criticism I have is where the commentary fits it. Were only now being welcomed to the show by Styles, despite the fact we just had a match up in which Im sure he and JBL wouldnt have sat silent throughout. Thats one thing I dont like, maybe just have them welcome us to the show at the beginning instead.
Another really good match up here and I liked the way it wasnt all about Danielson and Helms which I kind of expected it to be. Both Aero Star and Noble looked impressive during this one, particularly Star when Danielson tagged him in, some nice stuff in there. Typical Helms move to round things off, thats one Im exicted by for World Ablaze.
Mizs ass kissing here was brilliant
. As for the interview itself, I was 50/50 on it to be honest. Thought it started off really good with Nameth and his running away from reality and Canada line. But then when it went to Hagar and his little patriotic speech, I wasnt too keen. I know theyre American Made and its kinda their thing but particularly the end from Hagars passage coulda been changed as it was set up for well send the Sons of the Dungeon all the way back to Canada rather than well send the Sons of the Dungeon back to the Dungeon. With the bit of America vs. Canada theme Nameth hinted to earlier, I think that wouldve been better used. I am looking forward to these two teams settling that score though.
Decent little stuff with Storm and Punk here, I predicted last week I think? Or maybe just thought it, that Storm will get the win here tonight thanks to Punk and Im still gonna go with that, think its the best option right now.
Interesting stuff here with HBK and Foley. Could definitely see a more sinister edge to the Showstopper but at the same time, he understands. Im torn on what hes gonna do at World Ablaze but youve certainly got me hooked, so many options, I cant wait.
Haha JBL is fantastic. Throughout this entire interview, you had him absolutely on the money, just brilliant. As for Lashley and his reasons for all this, I thought you did a great job here, especially for someone whos usually so shitty on the mic. The way you had the crowd slowly turn to support Lashley was surprising but great at the same time. I didnt expect it at all, especially after the We dont buy it chant which made me laugh. Everything was really well done here, from the way he acknowledged hes not got the best fan base, to his mentioning of the other company and his praise for Punk. I dont know what way youre gonna go with this, it could well be a bunch of B.S from the Real Deal and that hes playing the fans along, with Christian being right from the get go, or we simply have a crazed Captain Charisma on our hands with the respectable Mr.Lashley. I know which one Id rather but both have major possibilities. Top stuff.
Miz again here haha. Enjoyed the little speech from these two who are growing on me week by week. The match at World Ablaze could be a show stealer.
Bang! Called it! Definitely the right move here to have Punk give his friend the assist and further things along with Hassan. Perfectly set up.
Very interesting stuff from Jericho here. I thought this was really well done and added a lot of intrigue into just what Jerichos plans are here and on what Michaels is gonna do come Sunday. This little paragraph was fantastic I must say, When you submitted to me, Shawn, you did just that. You declared yourself subservient to me in every feasible way. You submitted to my one step ahead ideology. I can probably concoct a plan that with of flick my wrist, the dominoes would fall, and have your career gone in a blink and there wouldnt be anything you could do about it. Dont ever forget that.
Good run down of the card there, shaping up to be a cracker.
Standard speech from Van Dam here, done its job nicely, although a little strange timing with the match about to take place. Very good story throughout this match again here, especially with the addition of Michaels into things. The way he came down and took that chair, simply to sit on I can just imagine being very compelling. The finish was great too as it just makes Jericho look like the brains again, not for the first time since you began this. The end line as well just builds all the more suspense ahead of Sunday. Good job.
Really enjoyable show here mate. Your in ring action very rarely disappoints and here was no exception as all the matches showcased all the talents in exactly the right way. Youve got me really hyped now ahead of World Ablaze, which is the exact aim of a go-home show so mission accomplished there. I think the main event, and Lashley-Christian will have my most attention come the PPV but everything else is looking mightily impressive too. Well done with this and good luck for the big one, no doubt youll pull it off.

Like Steamboat, Summit County facing transit budget woes
November 5, 2012

Oct. 23, 2012: Steamboat officials seek community feedback on proposed Yellow Line changes
Oct. 2, 2012: Steamboat Springs City Council votes to save Yellow Line
Sept. 27, 2012: City eyes major cuts to free bus service to balance 2013 budget
Steamboat Springs — The city of Steamboat Springs isn't the only ski community in Colorado struggling with its free-to-rider transit budget this fall. The Summit Daily reported Monday that Summit County is facing a transit budget shortfall for 2013 despite a countywide transit sales tax of 0.75 percent that raised $7.2 million in 2011 and was up 3.1 percent through August 2012.
The Summit Daily report attributes the budget shortfall for Summit Stage in part to the high cost of fuel but also because of personnel costs and unexpected repairs to an aging fleet of buses. Like Steamboat Springs Transit, Summit Stage does not collect fares from bus riders, many of whom are ski vacationers.
The 2013 budget draft originally presented by city staff to the Steamboat Springs City Council anticipated cuts of $350,000 to the transit budget, including a reduced summer schedule and the elimination of the Yellow Line, which runs from neighborhoods in the vicinity of Fish Creek Falls Road through downtown to Colorado Mountain College's Alpine Campus. However, the Yellow Line service was restored by City Council, which heard citizen protests over the cuts. The city is counting on general sales tax growth next year to offset the cost.
Unlike Summit County, the city of Steamboat does not have a tax dedicated to its bus system.
Comparisons between the two systems are more complex than that. The Summit Stage carried 1.75 million passengers in 2011, according to the transit operation's Web page, and Steamboat Springs Transit carried 1.05 million. However, Summit Stage serves more towns and ski areas, including Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Montezuma, Silverthorne, Keystone and Copper Mountain.
The SST's only regular service outside the city is a commuter route to Craig.

Auto insurance for teens is expensive. When my son was a teen, we combined auto and home, he had to maintain a good grade average and he paid for driving lessons. All of those things reduced his insurance by about 30%. And, yes, he paid for his own insurance.05-08-2009, 07:16 PM #9

I don't understand insurance companies at all!!!! I had 4 kids and our insurance did not go up so much as a dime when they started driving. You might want to consider checking around at other insurance companies, not all insurance companies gouge parents like your's apparently does.
That being said, if you can't find an insurance company with much lower rates you might want to consider not allowing your son to get his driver's license. It would suck for him, I know...but, there isn't a rule anywhere that says parents have to let their kids get a driver's license just because they can.05-11-2009, 07:02 PM #10

My son waited until he was 19 to get his licence and our insurance still went up over $200 a month. He will be 21 in June and it is down to about $160 now. Of course our dd will get her license in Aug. and she will just be 16 so I am really dreading seeing the price.05-12-2009, 05:23 PM #1205-14-2009, 11:06 AM #13

that's outragous. we had travers insurance and when i had an accident, a fender bender they dropped us like a hot rock. nobody wanted to insure us because of my accident for a decent amount. we ended up going to an insurance agent and he found us a great deal with progressive. it was far less than we were paying with travelers to start with and after i was a year past the accident it dropped even further. it paid to get an agent in the mix.

Until now, I have been hesitant to share my thoughts regarding MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) – arguably the hottest topic in EdTech since EdX, and Coursera began offering "the worlds best courses online for free". My reticence has been mostly due to difficulty envisioning how, what has been described as a "revolutionary" innovation, can develop into a sustainable delivery model.
edX Online
IMHO, a good many students go to college for the express purpose of attaining a degree or certificate toward the goal of a better career. Not that they don't value learning for learning sake, but getting a better job is the big draw. This is where I have a little trouble with how the MOOC is going to upend traditional education – accreditation, financial aid, transfer credit.
The other thing we have yet to see is a sustainable business model that makes sense. How will the cost of delivery for this model will be borne over time. Currently, several MOOCs have been funded via venture capital or foundation grants.
That being said, perhaps awarding college credit for life experience (including MOOC acquired knowledge), will provide at least part of the solution.
Beginning fall 2013, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, through their new Flexible Degree Option will begin offering four degrees and one certificate program to students who earn credit by demonstrating competencies acquired via on-the-job training, military experience, or by completing coursework on their own – including MOOCs.

What LDO is mounted on this board?
You get what you pay for. A board with a SAM7-chip that is. You've got the schematic, from my experience it is all correct, what more documentation do you need?
Don't try to share the SPI-bus with other stuff! Even though the CSB-line is inactive it will get confused and shut down, requiring hard reset (pulling the plug).
I got it to work together with a MicroMag, but with an SD-card, no, it would just die.
Come on guys!
Sure she's a kid and all, but honestly, safety goggles for soldering? I have never heard of anyone who has managed to solder him-/herself in the eye.
All SAM7 (and almost every ARM) contain PLL's and can do extensive clock multiplying. 18.432 MHz was choosen by the designers to be able to generate proper frequency for the USB.
This actually has 3 USART:s. Two with full capability and one "Debug Interface" that you are free to use for whatever. It has not DTR and such but it should still count as an USART.
No public wish lists :(

I've always been enthralled by the power of trends in the tennis world. Players have such a gift for copying each other at every level.
I signed a representation deal with Caroline Wozniacki when she was 10 years old. I negotiated contracts for her when she was 13 or 14.
During this period, the Williams sisters' domination was at its greatest. They had consigned Martina Hingis to the history books and everybody agreed that in the future, if a player did not have such power, it would be impossible to get to the No.1 spot.
A little woman called Justine Henin then proved that to be nonsense by showing totally different abilities: speed, diversity of shot selection and attacking the ball early.
However back in 2003 tennis did not believe in the Dane.
"Too limited, lacking in power. She'll be top 50 because she's a fighter, but nothing more."
That is what I was told about this young girl, and it did not even change when she became No.2 in the junior world rankings (by which point I had stopped representing her).
So where is she today? No.2 in the world and, heading into the quarter-finals, favourite for the US Open.
So what makes her so special?
She's emotionally steady
As Richard Williams has always told me: players with a huge self-confidence will always be the best. A match can turn on a few details and points, and because players can fall victim to pressure at those moments, their ability to play the best shot at the right time suffers. The more serene among them will always take good decisions when it matters, and Caroline is among this group. She is calm, determined and confident. When Victoria Azarenka, Vera Zvonareva, Elena Dementieva and others are not yet in that mental zone, Caroline is more than ready.
She's a fighter and defender
Caroline is the definition of a fighter. She keeps on fighting on every point, in every situation and she displays the amazing abilities of a counterpuncher. It's stunning to watch how she moves. She's reading the game perfectly so she's able to be early on the ball and that's why it's so hard to get her out of the way. She feels the game pretty well so she can anticipate; it's like she's attracting the ball. She always makes her opponent hit back again and again, so this player ends up taking more and more risks until they miss. What it is important to understand is that a lot of players are playing the same way nowadays and so are very easy to read. Caroline uses this to make them think she cannot be out-powered. Besides, she loves to run and it's often in the long rallies that she finds the way to win. She always knows where her opponent is on the court so she can wrong-foot her.
She's a clever girl
Unlike many of the players, Caroline plays with her brain. She studies the shots of her opponents and sets out a different gameplan depending on who she's up against. She knows how to use her abilities in order to put others under pressure; she knows how to slow the game before then giving it more pace.
She has come on leaps and bounds
A year ago I said she wouldn't win a Grand Slam anytime soon because she wasn't displaying the weapons she needed to get through. But lately she has added a more aggressive side to her game. She's not using it all the time - but it's definitely there. Caroline has improved her serve tremendously, as far as putting more first serves in and giving them greater variety is concerned. Her forehand, which was her weak side, is a lot steadier and she can now attack with it. Overall she's a more complete player: she moves better and hits stronger than before. She looks more confident.
Caroline Wozniacki seems ready to win her first Grand Slam, and has a unique chance to do so with Serena Williams being out. The success of a career is determined by your ability to catch the chances you have; she can start now to sketch her name into tennis history.

The MOON Project is connecting students throughout the world who track the angles and shapes of the moon and compare the data with other participating schools. Larger Version
A child camping at Big Bend spots a waxing crescent moon overhead and points, "it looks like a D." Meanwhile, oceans away, another child approaching the Sydney Opera House may decide that same moon looks more like a C. Who is right? The alphabets are the same; however it is their perspectives that are different.
The MOON Project – the acronym stands for More Observation of Nature – is a global project housed in Texas Tech's College of Education in collaboration with other universities around the world.
One of the project's goals is to get students outdoors to observe the world firsthand, said Walter Smith, chairman of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. For the last 10 years the project has been a tool to teach scientific inquiry to young students across the globe.
"Students from around the world learn how the moon works from both their own local point of view and also a global perspective," Smith said. "Students share their observations and look for similarities and differences in how the moon appears.
"When we're seeing a waxing crescent moon in the northern hemisphere, we see it on the right hand side, but the students in Australia in the southern hemisphere see that same crescent moon on the left hand side. So they have an opportunity to learn not only to interpret what they're observing, but that the point of view of the observer affects how the world appears to the observer," Smith said.
The most basic lesson from the project is about lunar phases. More importantly, Smith said, teachers can get their students involved in long-term inquiry.
"Most teachers do hands-on science and often that's self-contained in a 40-minute class period or however long they have; teachers set up an experiment in such a way that the students are going to make this and that observation," Smith said. "But when they take students outside, and get them involved in nature, nature does whatever nature does. Sometimes it's cloudy, sometimes it's not. Sometimes the moon is visible at night, sometimes it's visible during daylight, which is at times a new revelation for the students. It's a whole lot messier than the self-contained classroom science experiment."
Cathy Box, who is now a professor at Lubbock Christian University, used the MOON Project when she taught in the Tahoka schools about five years ago.
"My kids were so excited and learned a lot about so many things that are important in science; looking at real data, the importance of reporting accurately, different perspectives, comparing data and looking for patterns, figuring out which data might be wrong, and of course, how the moon looks around the world," Box said.
Another powerful reason for teachers to get students involved in the MOON project, Smith said, is to get kids involved with other kids who are outside their community, to show them that there is more to the world than just the community in which they are living.
Students' writing skills may also benefit from participating in the project.
"Teachers tell me that when the students read the writing of the other students – and we organize it in such a way that each student gets the observations of nine other students and those nine students are spread out as far apart as they can be – they begin to realize that maybe they could have written better themselves so that their nine colleagues would better understand what was going on," Smith said.
The project's name was coined by Lynda Schiff in 2001 when she taught at Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle Community Grant School on the Navajo Reservation in northwest New Mexico. Her fifth grade students were the first students in the MOON Project.
A class of Australian students measures the angle of the moon.
The MOON Project itself began in 2001 at Ball State University with Ohio State University becoming a partner soon thereafter. In 2004 Texas Tech and Indiana University - Purdue University at Columbus joined the partnership. In 2005 the MOON Project initiative became international with the addition of Australian Catholic University and Shiga University in Japan, along with Oklahoma State University.
The project moved to Texas Tech in 2006; and the University of North Dakota, the C.W. Post campus of Long Island University, St. Gregory's University, Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Midwestern State University joined in 2007. Georgia Southern University and the University of Western Australia joined in 2008 and Transworld Institute of Technology (Taiwan) joined in 2009.
Under the leadership of Texas Tech, these universities have informally joined together in the I.V. STEM (International Virtual Science Technology Engineering Math) Classroom initiative to develop methods for students to work together internationally, via the Internet, in exemplary science, math and technology instruction.
The MOON Project was honored with the Ohaus Award for Innovations in Science Teaching in 2003 by the National Science Teachers Association.
Teachers interested in having their students participate in the MOON Project should contact Walter Smith.
