Garmin Oregon 600 navigation device
opis produktu
The robust and waterproof Oregon GPS series offers a multitude of functions, high power and a bright touchscreen display that can be easily read in sunlight, too. The devices of the Oregon series are perfectly suitable for hikers, cyclists and geocachers.
From the moment you cradle the Oregon 600 in your hand, you're ready to enter into a bold new world of Garmin outdoor navigation. With high-sensitivity GPS and GLONASS satellite tracking (more satellites mean faster fixes, even in challenging environments), preloaded worldwide basemap with shaded relief and a faster processor, you don't just look at maps, you intuitively interact with them. Zoom in, pan out and rotate using multi-touch in any conditions and even with most gloves. The reflective display technology boosts touchscreen brightness so much that maps and displays are as vivid in full bright sunlight as they are in shade.
Touch and go!
The Oregon 600 was purposely engineered for the outdoors. It features the most brilliant, sunlight readable touchscreen that has ever been put on a Garmin handheld, strengthened for impact resistance but with multi-touch and dual orientation views. Bumps, dust, dirt, humidity and water are no match for this mapping-orientated navigator.
Get your bearings
The Oregon 600 has a built-in 3-axis electronic compass with tilt compensation, which shows where you're heading even when you're standing still, and not holding it level. Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude, and you can even use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. And with its high-sensitivity, GLONASS-enabled GPS receiver and HotFix® satellite prediction, the Oregon 600 locates your position quicker and more precisely and maintains its GPS location even in dense forests and deep canyons.
Double your power
Besides its outstanding performance of up to 16 hrs of battery time the new Oregon 600 features the outdoor optimised dual battery system. You'll have the option of using the internally rechargeable NiMH pack (optionally available with item no. 2104708) or traditional AA batteries in case there is no opportunity for charging. The NiMH pack charges automatically whenever the device is connected to external power.
Wireless transmission
Synchronise your data such as waypoints, geocaches, tracks and images with the Garmin Cloud and access from anywhere via your smartphone and BaseCamp mobile app (from iOS 7.0, free download in app store). Moreover, the Oregon 600 allows you can transfer waypoints, tracks, routes and geocaches up to 50 times faster than with other Garmin handhelds, which support wireless functions.
Adding maps
Garmin offers a huge selection of detailed, topographic, lake and road maps, so that you can easily complete the map material of the Oregon 600. Use the internal memory of 105 GB or the microSD card slot of the device. The Oregon 600 also supports BirdsEye™ Select maps. In this way, you can upload high-quality grid maps on the device that can be used as an overlay together with other routing-capable maps. The Oregon 600 is also compatible with Garmin Custom Maps, a map format to convert paper maps and electronic maps into maps that can be displayed with the device. The pre-installed global basic map is a non-routable overview map that only provides approximate orientation. You can also insert microSD cards with road map material or topographic map material by Garmin (e.g. Topo Germany V6 Pro, item no. 2098805) and you can hit the trail straight away. Maps on DVDs can be loaded onto a microSD memory card via Garmin MapInstall (free download at garmin.com) or integrated into the downloadable Garmin Base Camp for display and route planning (free download at garmin.com, suitable for PC and Mac*). If a map is only available on memory card, it can be displayed via Base Camp by either inserting it in the GPS device or directly in the card reader of the PC/Mac. Via Garmin Base Camp, you can also update already existing maps and your Oregon 600, get new maps and use many additional features such as the display of already ridden routes, different map displays (2D or 3D) or the creation and management of POIs. You can also update the maps or the device directly via the free programme Garmin Express (garmin.com). The updates of the Garmin map material entail costs. The City Navigator can be updated via a download, for the Garmin Topo maps you can buy update DVDs for the respective country. You can also buy update packages for the City Navigator in the Garmin shop Lifetime. The DVD road maps of the City Navigator can be updated for free once within 30 days after the activation. Pre-installed Garmin maps on the memory card cannot be updated. Garmin Adventures include recorded activities which you can share, use, download and change via Base Camp. Moreover, you have the possibility to load free OSM maps (e.g. openstreetmap.org) in img format onto a microSD card and use them for your device (the OSM map has to be suitable for routing to allow for navigation). Simply create a new folder called "Garmin" on the memory card and put the .img file into it. In this way, the Garmin device will be able to display the map. You can also load and use several OSM maps at the same time. *System requirements: PC: from Windows Vista (SP2), Mac from OS10.8, min. 1024 RAM
Load all the geocaches
No more picking, choosing and planning, just download them all. The Oregon 600 can hold a massive number of geocaches. Download every cache on OpenCaching.com. All your paperless geocaching features will be there for every cache. Read full descriptions, hints and logs. Filter caches by size, terrain, difficulty and type. Record your logs in the field. Do it all.
Plan your next trip
Make the most out of your adventures with BaseCamp™, Garmin's free trip planning software. BaseCamp™ is the perfect environment to comfortably prepare your trips with maps, waypoints, tracks and routes before you get out and once you are home again to create amazing Garmin Adventures to share with friends, family or fellow explorers. The software displays topographic map data in 2-D or 3-D on your computer screen, including contour lines and elevation profiles.

How do I earn HawaiianMiles at Foodland?
The way our partnership with Hawaiian Airlines works is that you can receive HawaiianMiles when you earn a My Rewards Certificate. You do not earn a mile for every dollar you spend.

This certificate is redeemable for various rewards including 200 HawaiianMiles.

I hope this site does not go the way of many have in recent months.
USEFILM seems to be loosing ground and participation. PHOTOSIG seems to be going great guns, primarily because of the X rated category. There are good photos on these sites, but nudity and porn seem to overwhelm some categories.
Let us keep this site Family Oriented.

"The Carbon Underground Report" Adds Urgency to Fossil Fuel Company Divestment and Strategies to Cut Carbon Pollution
Yesterday, Fossil Free Indexes, LLC released The Carbon Underground, a report identifying the top 100 public coal companies and the top 100 public oil and gas companies globally, ranked by the potential amount of carbon pollution represented by their fuel reserves. The report provides a much-needed update to the 2011 Unburnable Carbon report produced by the Carbon Tracker Initiative. The Carbon Underground frighteningly concludes that the carbon pollution of these fossil fuel reserves surpasses their "carbon budget" by a whopping 400%.
"Carbon budget" refers to the amount of carbon pollution that a sector must remain within in order to avoid the most dangerous consequences of global warming that would occur with a 2 degree Celsius rise in temperature. The report states that the energy sector's carbon budget, based on data from the International Energy Association and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, will be spent within 22 years — even with emissions reductions of 10%. Moreover, at this level, three-fourths of the reserves will still be in the ground.
The report observes the astounding fact that despite the threats to the planet: "exploration and development of fossil fuel resources continue unabated."
Investors have an increasingly important role to play in the tremendous shift needed to switch the economies of the world to reliance on renewable energy. The planet cannot sustain the continued burning of fossil fuels and the necessary decline of the fossil fuel industry means investors and the marketplace will face staggering "stranded assets" – assets that have become de-valued and become a loss. The New Abolitionism article in the already-released May 12, 2014 issue of The Nation magazine estimates that stranded assets could equate to as much as $20 trillion globally.
There is no time to waste in terms of profoundly cutting our greenhouse gas emissions. By divesting from fossil fuel companies and re-investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies, investors can play an important role in pushing our economy in the direction required. Building on The Carbon Underground, Fossil Free Indexes, LLC will soon release broad market indexes that the average investor can use to divest from fossil fuel companies — for the sake of the planet and to help safeguard one's personal assets.

Beyoncé Is Back On Stage
Sounds like her fans were super excited to see her back in action.
via eonline.com The singer hit the stage in Antwerp, Belgium, Wednesday, a day after pulling the plug on her scheduled Tuesday show after she was advised to rest due to dehydration and exhaustion.
The cancellation immediately fueled reports that Jay-Z's wife was pregnant with their second child, but on Wednesday, the attention swiftly shifted to the star's return to top form, as she gushed to fans that she was elated to be back.
"I just have to say, I feel so good to be on this stage," she said during a break in between songs amid the deafening screams of the crowd, who repeatedly chanted her name. "I have the best fans in the world," the 31-year-old added. Her doctors, however, probably weren't fans of her decision to push through with her second scheduled performance in the Belgian city. "Now, my doctors told me not to perform tonight, but there was no way in the world," the 31-year-old explained.

(note for flag lovers: i've no relation with the author )
PS – the plugin seems to be disabled
Yep, plugin is dead. From the research i've been doing online, it doesn't seem WP is the best avenue to get a dating site up and running.
Not sure what my options are…
Whilst this may seem a little daft at first, you could use a real-estate theme!
It's the same thing as a dating site, the guest user signs up, and searches with different parameter, (buy, sell, rent – or – male, female etc.)
Wacky idea, but it might work!

It depends on the person. Some people cant handle the 2 textures and big chop right away, some people transition for years.
I started my transition back to my natural hair in Feb 2011. At that time my hair was past my shoulders. About 10 months into my transition, I went for a trim and told my stylist to cut a little more than a trim, so I ended up with my hair to my shoulders. After that I just cut off some ends every few months till they were all gone.
Next month will make it 2 years I havent permed my hair and I couldnt be happier with my hair.

New video tour of my fish room by Ted Judy
Ted Judy stopped by a few months ago to take a tour. Figured I would share his video with you guys. It has evolved a lot even since then, but at least it gives you a better idea :)
Wow, looks very nice! I'll be ordering some fish from you in a few months ;)
I am *hopefully* going to be able to publish an even more recent video tour soon. I have since added all the racks I was mentioning in the background conversation, redone my pvc, and my storage area. It is much tidier and streamlined now :)
Aww, why weren't you rocking the mohawk?!?!
I love monster tank, was that a red devil in with your bichir?
I didn't know they were coming by that day! I had just been working down there and if the hair is up, I end up dusting the rafters, lol.
that was Chris Moscarell (apisto breeder) hanging out with us. Mark Denaro was there as well that day.
It was a red bay snook in with the big boys.
mann awesome tanks! I wanna do what you do one day. I bet everyone does though lol.
cool video, thanks for posting it.
Love this video hahaha
i have the envy. . :)
Ahhh.... bichirs and nano fish... I see that we share the same bi-polar taste in fish :)
mini and monster! the best of both worlds!
guess it depends on which one you ask! LOL
really, my bichir are all nearing 2', they have some danios in there that they totally ignore. The snook pictured was torn apart by my gar, he was really the one that went after anything that moved.
Very awesome setup!

I've been waiting for this day for a while...
Here in Kansas we have been able bring our guns to work since 2007 I think. But it was a several months fight with corprate before the gunbuster sighns at the parking lots entrance were taken down. Made us feel real good because this aerospace giant has some very well paid "Ivy leage" lawyers.
Congrats Texas...:congrats:
Congrats. I think half the people at my work have some sort of firearm in their vehicle.
I have to admit I am pretty excited about this. It is about time!
Why I think I shall participate!
Good news for those who drive, but not good for those of us to take public transit to work every day in Texas.
We still have a ways to go, on quite a few issues. But glad we're heading in the right direction. :wink:
When Oklahoma passed that law a fews years ago it was challenged in the courts. Hopefully you folks down there won't have to go through that.
Congrats! This should be passed in every State.
Im self employed so my boss insists I carry every day! But I think this is a nice victory for our state. Still have a ways to go on a few things but any move forward is a good one!
I celebrate this particular holiday everyday. :wink:
I'm celebrating for Texas today by carrying a gun to work..................in California. Actually I celebrate doing this every day.:smile:

What games are you playing now?
View Single Post
November 7th, 2009, 21:22
This week I struggled hard to get all my books read during the week. I failed, I had to read about 60 pages this morning… but still… this gave me an entire afternoon with Pools of Radiance 2. You may ask, with the recent flux of games, shouldn't I get my hands dirty with Risen, Dragon Age or Divinity 2? No, I do not dare to. I do not have time to get stuck in a game right now, I want one that I can play for awhile, then pause for a couple of weeks. I know that up ahead there will be even more to read. I save the RPG's for winter and hope that my next university course wont be this stressful.
So how's Pool of Radiance 2? Well, compared to Baldur's Gate, Arcanum, Fallout, Icewind Dale etc it's rather poor… however, it's still playable, and frankly, compared to the recent era of disappointing RPG's it can be quite comforting. I like the attention they have given to ambient RPG-style comments that pop up all the time. It often sets a spooky or mysterious tone to what's going on. The battles can be quite long and it's a really hardcore game. I have allowed myself to cheat by maximizing the HP but it's still hard.
The game begins outdoors but soon enough you enter a massive dungeon, truly massive. It's way larger than anything I have ever seen in a game like this. Each floor can take an entire day to explore and the dungeon consists of about 5 floors. Makes the dungeon in the beginning of Divine Divinity appear small.
Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind. - John F Kennedy
An eye for an eye, and soon the whole world is blind. - Mahatma Gandhi
The world is my country. To do good is my religion. My mind is my own church. This simple creed is all we need to enjoy peace on earth. - Thomas Paine
Okay, now roll sanity.

buy fake ray bans best prepare for summer big sunny day.
The people of Pennsylvania continue to prove during elections that if fake ray ban aviators a candidate is endorsed by Planned Parenthood our state's largest abortion provider they're probably going to lose.
In November 2012, Planned Parenthood endorsed 22 candidates against pro-life members of the State House.
And 2014 is looking no different. Their pick for governor Allyson Schwartz lost by 40 percent.
Planned Parenthood also featured two endorsed legislative races: Erin Molchany (36th District) and Billy Smith (164th ray bans outlet House District). Molchany, whom Planned Parenthood stated she "represents the views of the voters of the 36th district,"went up against pro-life Democrat Harry Readshaw. Molchany lost by 20 percent.
Billy Smith challenged incumbent Representative 2010 Planned Parenthood-endorsed Margo Davidson. While in office, Davidson voted for commonsense abortion clinic regulations after her cousin, Semika Shaw, was killed by abortionist Kermit Gosnell. Because of cheap ray ban glasses her commonsense support - deemed "threatening" and "burdensome" by the abortion giant - Planned Parenthood came after her not only by endorsing her challenger but providing over ,000 directly to his campaign and Smith scoring robocalls throughout the district.
Despite all their efforts, Davidson won by 10 percent.
The largest abortion provider in PA continues to gain millions in taxpayer dollars and ray bans for cheap continues to use their political arm to spend millions of dollars on pro-abortion candidates. And the message by citizens across Pennsylvania is clear: If you want to represent us, you don't want Planned Parenthood's endorsement.

I took part in a "webinar" last week, which was put together by reporter Stefanie Loh as part of the Association of Women in Sports Media convention.
The topic was a familiar one that people talk about … and yet don't talk about: homosexuality in sports, in this case, particularly women's sports.
Involved in the "webinar" were Dr. Pat Griffin, a leading advocate of incorporating GLBT sensitivity to education, Portland State women's basketball coach Sherri Murrell, former Belmont women's soccer coach Lisa Howe (who lost her job for coming out publicly as gay), Olympic and pro softball player Lauren Lappin, and me.
You can read the highlights from the discussion here, or download the full transcript from that site. Or you can listen to it here, which also allows you to download a podcast.

DIY: Door Lock Actuator Removal & Attempt of Repair

Could be the GM, you never know. The only thing that made me verify that the actuator was going bad was a relatively loud grinding/squeeking noise just before it stopped working at all.
There's a temp solution that *might* do the trick. Take the door lock pin out, take a can of WD40 with the straw attached on it, put the straw in parallel with the door pin shaft, insert it as down as possible and spray a generous amount of WD40. The WD40 will follow the door lock shaft and eventually get into the actuator. Sometimes it will revive it and give it another year, sometimes it won't do $hit. Better to leave the door open to have the extra WD40 drain on the floor and not on the seals. Should see results if any within a day.
I did this trick and the car will lock the door but will fail to unlock it. I am still going to change the actuator, reason I haven't posted anything yet is because the dealership is closed for holidays for this week. They will be open on monday 25th.

CORRECTION: EUR/USD rebound at 1.4280 extends to test day high at 1.4355
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Euro rebound at 1.4280 on European session has extended to 1.4370 session high, although the pair has not confirmed above 1.4355 resistance which is being tested at the moment of writing.
In case of consolidating above 1.4355, next resistance levels come at 1.4415 (Dec 18 high) and 1.4480 (Oct 2 low). On the upside, initial support lies at 1.4280 session loW, and below here, 1.4260 (Dec 18 low) and 1.4200
On a wider perspective, the Euro remains trading inside a bearish channel, and according to the ecPulse.com analysis team, the pair will resume decline from levels around 1.4360: We expect touching resistance for the current descending channel at 1.4365 and then start an expected bearish direction for the remainder of trades today; targeting 1.4180 mainly, which requires 1.4425 to remain intact.

Remember the original Command & Conquer? Remember all the units, characters and themes from the original C&C game? Remember the gritty feeling of RTS Warfare? Remember Tiberium? Well, that classic game from the early 90's that spawned over a dozen titles and revolutionized the RTS Gaming World has been reincarnated in the advanced 3D World of the C&C Generals Zero Hour SAGE 3D Game engine and look better than ever! GDI and Nod are back along with two all new subfactions and over two dozen campaign missions!
Its great
first game i ever play now in 3D
Tiberian::Dawn::Redux v1.4beta -> preview
My rating of nine, should be an indicator of what I think of this nice piece of mod work.
The presentation of this total conversion is very good, the explanation of what to do when you want to play other mods is clear (fetch the improved Launcher for v1.3) and since the launcher is a set of batch-routines, you can review the code to see what is done.
The only remark I have (after playing one skrimish map), is that I have to recopy two dirs from my backup-ZeroHour dir, when I want to play my other mods & vanilla ZeroHour, because the launcher doesn't restore those when you exit. Instead the v.1.3 improved launcer puts AIZH.big and Shaders2.big in your ZeroHour folder, which *contain* them.
For total compliance with other mods, I rename those 2 files and restore the original folders when I'm done with the game.
There is a clear warning about the AI scripts in the game, that need to be removed on site, but the waterplane that's also deleted was omitted by the author. It looks like all that's needed for the new launcher of v1.4 of C&C::TDR is a small batch-routine that copies the two dirs which need to be deleted back, just before the main batch-routine exits. Than the Improved Launcer for TDR v1.3 is 'patched' to v1.4 too :)
Regarding the gameplay, I can tell you that the classic cameos look very nice, the sound effects are good and the AI works quite well (I've played in medium mode). You need to orientate yourself in the beginning, if you've only played the first C&C game, but the road to discovery is quite nice, and you'll have a lot of fun with not only building your base, attack- & defense-structures, but also with the scenery. It's a lot of fun to be in this different ENV in ZeroHour
After only one map, I can tell you already that TDR v1.4 in combination with the improved launcher (and a backup of ZeroHour vanilla), guarantees you a great ammount of playing hours.
good mod, nice details, awesome new units and still blanced.
sound effects are really giving it a nice touch.
Its great
first game i ever play now in 3D
The best remake for Command & Conquer!
Practically perfect aside from a number of strange, but almost unnoticeable bugs. The music skip is kinda lame though. :C
The mod is spot-on, though it could do with a few minor tweaks. the Obelisks rate of fire could be more CANON (slower rate of fire, with a greater range, and the infantry units could be a little faster.
If somebode would create remake of Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn beside Westwood, it will be certainly You!
Отличная игра воссоздана в стиле Рассвета тиберия. Разработчики молодцы, спасибо вам огромное

Since 1995, Program in Criminal Justice faculty and staff have been working with the City of Boston to understand and prevent youth homicide (victims who are ages 24 and under). David Kennedy, Anthony Braga, and Anne Piehl collaborated with criminal justice, social service, and community-based partners to develop the Operation Ceasefire gang violence reduction strategy that was credited with a 63% reduction in youth homicides when it was operational between 1996 and 2000. Beginning in 2002 and continuing through 2007, Boston experienced a resurgence of gang violence that generated noteworthy increases in youth homicide. Since 2007, Anthony Braga and David Hureau have been working with the City of Boston to address youth violence.

Nicole Kidman
Confirming that she is definitely on the cards for an upcoming Vogue issue was Nicole Kidman this week. The Aussie actress, who appears to have returned to her ginger roots, was captured on location at Malibu beach in L.A. for a period-inspired photo-shoot. Wearing a stunning off-the-shoulder mulberry-coloured Alexander McQueen gown, Nicole worked the dramatic puff fishtail hem like a pro. Clearly her previous costume work from Australia and Moulin Rouge helped her greatly. The cream parasol also lends the right touch - after all, no-one likes a sunburnt lobster.

Make Your Resolutions Stick: 3 Resolutions to Keep and 3 to Ditch in 2014
Use these tips to get healthier this year.
An estimated 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year's Resolutions. And about a third of these resolutions pertain to weight, diet and health. But how long do resolutions really last? One week? One month? Maybe even two months? We all go in with good intentions to stick to our goals—so why do we often give up on our resolutions so quickly?
Maybe it has less to do with willpower and more to do with what we're resolving to do. If you're attempting to completely overhaul your entire lifestyle, it might prove harder to stick with than if you're vowing to change small habits that can have lasting effects. This year, make resolutions you can stick to and ditch those that are unattainable. Resolutions that focus on lasting and sustainable small changes rather then quick—and often unreasonable—transformations might be your key to success. Based on research, here are our 3 resolutions to make and 3 resolutions to ditch.

Bataleon Evil Twin 2012 vs Bataleon Evil twin artist edition 2011
Hello all, does anyone have any experience with these boards? Bataleon has come up with the new shape for their boards this year now should I pay 100 EURs more for that? Actually i've heard that 2011 evil twin artist edition actually has the new shape.
The thing is now that I could get Bataleon Evil Twin artist edition 2011 for 320 EURs (452 USD) and 2012 Evil Twin for 449 EURs(635 USD). Is there a difference? I want 157 cm for park riding only. I'm 188 lbs and 6'2.
So which one should I get? There are 3 more days till the discount ends so i really need your help. I didn't really think of evil twin before coz i couldn't afford it but now i've tried it and damn lol and especially when theres such a good offer i would get it if i knew this years regular evil twin isn't better.
I'm gonna thank You in advance! Really need your help.
I would go with the '11 just because it is so much cheaper. There might be some slight tweaks from one year to the next, but nothing worth $180.
I picked one up this year.

In slavery at its peak
In 1991 there were about one million Americans behind bars. By 2012 the number was over 2.2 million, a more than 100 percent increase. Our prison population, in fact, is now the biggest in the history of human civilization. There are more people in the United States either on parole or in jail today (around 6 million total) than there ever were at any time in Stalin's gulags. For what it's worth, there are also more black men in jail right now than there were in slavery at its peak.
See if this syllogism works, then. Poverty goes up; Crime goes down; Prison population doubles. It doesn't fit, unless some sort of alternative explanation comes into play. Maybe all those new nonviolent prisoners fit into some new national policy imperative. Maybe they all broke some new set of unwritten societal
One Vietnamese woman, a refugee and a rape victim who had only recently come to America, applied for welfare in San Diego. An inspector came to her door, barged in, and began rifling through her belongings. At one point, he reached into her underwear drawer and began sifting around. Sneering, he used the tip of the pencil eraser to pull out a pair of sexy panties and looked at her accusingly. If she didn't have a boyfriend, what did she need these for? That image, of a welfare inspector sneeringly holding up panties with a pencil end, expresses all sorts of things at once. The main thing is contempt.

Is there a way to redirect this skin and/or XBMC to use NFO files from one directory? For example, if I took all the NFO files for a season of a tv show and put them in one folder, could XBMC and this skin be used to read those instead of scraping them?
I guess having it read XML files I already have in one directory would be out of the question..

Expand Collapse
The Ladybird Spider Eresus cinnaberinus — so called for its bright red body covered in black spots — was on the brink of extinction in the mid-1990s when a single colony of just 56 individuals was left in the UK. Since then conservationists have been helping it to spread further afield — and today [Thursday 11th August] it is to be released into one of the most diverse insect and spider habitats in the country at the RSPB's Arne reserve in Dorset.
And scientists have come up with an ingenious low-tech method of transferring the spiders. They are using empty plastic mineral water bottles, which are an ideal shape and size for the spiders to make their nests in. The bottles were filled with heather and moss and captured spiders from the donor site were placed inside and monitored while they settled in and made a web. The bottles will now be buried in holes in the ground at Arne so that the spiders can colonise the nearby area.
The spiders will be another piece of the invertebrate jigsaw for the Arne reserve, which is already home to a host of rare insect and spider species. The heathland site boasts 240 species of spider and hundreds of insect species including the threatened Silver-studded Blue butterfly and the Roesel's Bush Cricket, which was discovered on the site last year.
Toby Branston, RSPB Arne warden, said: "Arne is an amazing place for bugs and this is the best time of year to see and hear them. To be introducing such a rare new species here is very exciting, and I hope we can help it to spread further. The most striking thing about the Ladybird Spider is the unique colourful markings on the male which give it its name, but it also leads a fascinating lifestyle. They spend most of their time underground where they create silk canopies which they decorate with the remains of beetles, ants and other spiders they have eaten."
"Burying plastic bottles in the heathland may seem a little strange to some of our visitors, but the experts have found that this is the best way to translocate the spiders. This is an ideal habitat for them so we will be keeping a close eye on the new colony and carrying out regular surveys to see if they take to their new home."
For many years scientists believed that Ladybird Spiders were extinct in the UK, but a colony was discovered clinging on in the 1980s. It is a heathland specialist and has suffered over the years from the destruction of much of our wildlife-rich heathland habitat. More than 90% of our lowland heathland has been lost to agriculture, commercial forestry and development, putting major pressure on the species that rely on it. As well as insects and spiders, heathland is also home to endangered reptiles such as Smooth Snakes and Sand Lizards, and birds such as the Dartford Warbler and the Nightjar.
There will be a chance to see the reintroduction site as well as spot some of Arne's fascinating insect and arachnid species on one of two organised spider walks at the reserve. The events take place on Sunday 14th August and Sunday 25th September. For more information, visit the Spider Sunday web page.

Lee Warwick's fiancee is literally one in a million – but that means he won't get a Valentine's kiss today.
Rachel Prince, 24, suffers from an extremely rare water allergy which stops her from having a smooch with Lee, 26.
Just a few spots of his saliva bring her out in a severe rash and she also cannot go swimming, enjoy long showers, stand in the rain or even drink water.
And poor Lee has to do all the washing up.
Rachel said: "If Lee even gives me a kiss on the cheek I have to wipe it off straight away."
The part-time model was diagnosed with water allergy aquagenic urticaria in 2004. It affects just one in 230million worldwide and has no known treatment.
Even contact with her own tears, saliva, sweat and blood can cause a severe reaction.
Rachel, of Ripley, Derbyshire, added: "When I have a bath I am only in it for a few minutes and then the rash is so itchy and painful I have to lie down afterwards.
"I carry an umbrella everywhere and I have a coat with a huge hood on it like Kenny from South Park.
""When I drink water, it feels like my throat is closing up. Fruit juice and tea is not so bad for some reason."
Office temp Lee said: "I really want to kiss her but I know I can't.
"I have to do most of the housework and I don't even get a kiss at the end of it – but she's worth it."

"The motivation level is still there," says Armas, who has been hobbled this season by a hip problem that has limited him to 23 games. "The motivation to win and to compete has gotten stronger as my career has gone on. It hasn't faded. You think, 'Isn't that supposed to go away?'"
Armas announced in April that this would be his last season, but that came before the arrival of Cuauhtemoc Blanco, the hiring of Juan Carlos Osorio as head coach, and the purchase of the team by Andell Holdings, Inc. from Anschutz Entertainment Group.
He's reveling in the atmosphere created by large, excited crowds at Toyota Park and a late-season push for the playoffs. Chicago is unbeaten in its last six games and holds a four-point cushion over Colorado for the eighth and final postseason slot.
There are good, solid reasons to hang it up. He's 35, has played 262 regular season games, and has come back from two ACL surgeries - one of which knocked him off the 2002 World Cup team - and a sprained knee ligament that scuttled his dreams of playing in the 2000 Olympic Games. He and his wife Justine have two young sons, Christopher Jr. and Aleksei.
He won an MLS Cup in his first year with the Fire, that magical expansion season of 1998, and came up short in the 2000 and 2003 title games. Two months ago, a chance at another final seemed remote; now at least it's a possibility.
Yet the temptation of trophies won't lure him back. His zeal for the game hasn't wavered. His decision to retire, he insists, is strictly a function of physical health. He knows retirement is inevitable, he just hates the very idea of walking away while he can still walk.
"I don't like the thought of it, at all," he says of the dreaded R-word. "I almost wish I didn't love the game and everything about it so much, but I do. I was at the [USA-Brazil] game [Sept. 9 at Soldier Field] and on the day you're a fan. I'm rooting for the team and there are so many close ties to the team, still, and at the same time I wish I could be out there. Then you wouldn't feel so bad about walking away.
"I want to be able to play and contribute every day in practice and every day in the games, not just half you-know-what. This is what I've known for the past 12, 14 years, whatever it is, two years with the [Long Island] Rough Riders and then MLS. It's hard enough to walk away."
The decision won't be his alone. Fire management and Osorio will have a say. Justine and the boys will weigh in. So will his body.
"I know it sounds crazy but I even love the preseason and everything that goes with it," says Armas, who is one of the few players who can utter those words and really mean it. "I love the concept of the team and honestly, I love the preseason.
"I'll get my hip looked at after the season and if I can do it one more time and get back, believe me I'll do it."

End your week the right way. With some fun stuff we found online. Here's an assortment of things and stuff:
— As part of a California art gallery's tribute to John Hughes, an artist made a Ferris Bueller's Day Off Board Game print. Original piece comes with dice, counters and rules of play. A little run of smaller copies will also be available at the gallery during the show.
— The first ad for the PSP Phone is here. And it's kinda scary. Via albotas.com
— Got this courtesy of Chase Jarvis' Blog Full of amazing imagery and inspiring narration, this should be mandatory viewing for anyone in a creative field.
— Wired's YouTube has a great "How To" video for taking on the street photographs and the results are quite interesting. Plus, it makes for a intensely personal portrait series if done correctly. Via F StoppersTweet

Bridging Ground wires.
I have a 3 gang box with 4 cables: power in, power out to a GFI, power out to vanity, power out to vent fan/light. Three switches: 1 to vanity light, 2 for vent fan/light combo.
So this creates 7 ground wires which obviously won't fit into a wire cap. Is it safe to run 3 grounds into a cap, 4 into another and then bridge them with another wire between the 2 caps? If not what would be a better option?
I guess just twisting all 7 together?
Another thing you need to think about is box fill. Ground wires aren't counted as far as CODE box fill rules, but common sense has to play in there somewhere. Just another thought.
It is getting crowded in there even though it's a deep box. I have nowhere really fit for a junction box to where it would be accesible.
I could run 12/3 to the vanity and put the GFI after that, which would remove the one unnecessary cable from the box.
Now is that a legal route? Box to Vanity, Vanity to GFI, GFI to Switch, and Switch to Can Light in shower?
Wow. I didn't even see all the things you had going on there. I don't know if it's even legal to have bathroom lights on the same circuit as the GFCI rec. (Hair dryer trips breaker, lights go out...trouble ensues).
Consider this: Nothing says the J-box has to be in the same room as the fixtures/rec it feeds, just that it must be accessible.
The only light on the GFI would be the can light in the shower, the vanity and the light on the vent are before GFI.
My interpretation is that as long as the bathroom has a dedicated 20Amp circuit you can put everything on it. If you are sharing the circuit between bathrooms then only receptacles may be on the circuit and lights need to be separate.
I could be mistaken.
Nope found it.
The bathroom receptacles must be on a dedicated 20-ampere
circuit with no other receptacles or lights on it. Section 210-11(c)(3). An exception to this rule is if a 20-
ampere circuit is run to each individual bathroom, then you are allowed to have the bathroom lights on the
circuit also. Section 210-11(c)(3)(Exception). However, if one 20-ampere circuit feeds more than one
bathroom, no other receptacles or lights shall be on it.
Thank you for the advice on the grounds and the J box.
Hey there, obviously i don't know what kind of device box you are using but most i have seen have 2 ground screws per box for a total of 6 ground screws. You can usually put 2 grounds under one screw so there would be 12 in total for you.
Now your device box could be differnt, if it is i would put as many as i could under the ground screws, leave the last one long and make a joint with the rest and put a marrette on it.
Hope this helps.
must be a Canada thing. it would violate 110.14 of the NEC.
Thanks for all the reply's. I'm using plastic boxes though so no ground screws. I think I'll just continue the power through the vanity light to the GFI receptacle, instead of running power to the GFI from the 3 gang box. That will alleviate the box fill issue as jp suggested.
May I suggest a wago connector. These will accomodate 8 ground wires. No twisting just push them into the connector.

CAIRO – A train carrying military conscripts derailed southwest of Cairo on Tuesday, killing 19 people and wounding 107, the Health Ministry said, highlighting the country's chronic transport problems.
The train was taking young recruits from south Egypt to a military camp in Cairo when two cars went off the rails shortly after midnight in the Giza neighborhood of Badrasheen, officials said.
More than 60 ambulances were sent to the site of the accident, where rescuers extracted survivors and bodies from the twisted heap of metal on the side of the rails.
Prime Minister Hesham Qandeel was met with howls of outrage when he arrived at the scene, with local residents shouting, "You have blood on your hands, Mr. Hesham." His security quickly whisked him away, a witness said.
The injured have been taken to local hospitals for treatment, the Health Ministry said.
President Mohammed Morsi made a visit to the injured at the Maadi military hospital in Cairo, the same facility where his ousted predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, is being treated, state media reported.
Minister of Social Affairs Nagwa Khalil said the government will pay the families of those killed each 10,000 Egyptian pounds ($1,520), and families of the injured 2,000 Egyptian pounds, MENA said.
The accident is the latest in a string of transport disasters plaguing Egypt, and comes just two weeks after a new transport minister was appointed.
According to media reports, it is the fifth deadly train accident since Morsi was sworn in as Egypt's first Islamist president in June.
Morsi's tenure so far has been marked by political divisions over the role of religion in politics and freedoms, but the latest accident is a further test of how his government will deal with the everyday problems of Egyptians.

Rep. Wolf Tells Bolden No To China on ISS
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) wrote NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden yesterday telling him that cooperation with China on the International Space Station (ISS) is not permissible.
The letter is in response to a media report that bringing China into the ISS partnership was discussed at a recent meeting in Canada of the heads of the agencies already participating in the multinational ISS partnership. Wolf is a staunch opponent of U.S.-China space cooperation because of China's human rights violations. He chairs the House appropriations subcommittee that funds NASA.
Calling any effort to involve China in the ISS program "misguided, and not in our national interest," Wolf asked for a detailed briefing on what was said about China at the Canadian "Heads of Agencies" meeting. The Canadian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Roscosmos (the Russian space agency), and NASA are partners in the ISS program.
Wolf sponsored language in the FY2011 and FY2012 appropriations bills that fund NASA and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) sharply limiting U.S.-China cooperation on science and technology, especially the space program.

Star's Megastar 10mm?
I've been trying to find a [topic title] for some time. I've contacted a dealer who's been our county's outlet of Star.
So I called him up and asked a few questions and said I prefer the 10mm version above the .45ACP.
He claimed there was no megastar in 10mm.
I stood corrected at the time, thinking the website I got that info from was mistaking, but searched again, and everywhere that the megastar is mentioned, there is the same info: The pistol was made in 10mm and .45ACP. Numorous sources even claims it was even originally made for 10mm, and only just adapted for .45ACP.
So today I called him with this info and to my surprise, he's sticking to his guns (funny choise of words, eh?) refusing to accept that it was made in 10mm.
He says he's been to the factory in spain several times, and never seen anything that indicates a megastar in 10mm.
So, I'm turning to you guys to shed some light into this smaller enigma.
Also, if you're in a good mood, it'd be nice to get some comments on this pistol as I might have a chance to attain one in .45 ACP and would like some opinions.
I suppose I'm at the fence between desert eagle (either .357 or .44) and this one.
Thank you.
According to the 28th edition of the Gun Traders Guide, the Star Megastar was made between 1992 to 1997 in 10mm and 45acp. NIB both sell for $486 in a blued finish, in stainless it's $516. Hope this helps!
Don't worry about it. Maybe it's ego or something else, but whatever it is it just a sign he's not to smart and/or mature enough to admit he doesn't know everything.
Im in the 10mm market- a Delta elite is the plan. It will be easier to conceal (it probably wont be- when I get it the coyotes will suffer- ha!) than a Desert eagle will be. Also, you can swap the barrel and shoot .40 sw (and
.357 sig) which eases the wallet (the .357sig doesnt) which counts for a lot. I dont know if you can shoot .38 special or .44 special in a desert eagle, but I doute it. You probably know.
I have one in 10mm (but no way to post a picture) If you look on gunbroker you will find mags for both 10mm and 45acp listed. the 45`s are mostly aftermarket and $20 - $40. The 10mm are factory and run from $80 on up. The gun did not sell well and I think the importer Interarms also closed. The Star factory is now closed so parts will be hard to find.
Years ago I called a dealer about mags for a Rem 788 in 30-30 win. He told me they never made it in that caliber. When I insisted I had one he told me to look at the barrel markings again and slammed the phone down. Like the store I called it sounds like your dealer is not the Star expert you gave him credit for.
I've never really doubted that they were made in 10mm, but I think it's interesting that he remains convinced and wanted to make sure by asking you guys.
Big Lar,
a breif comment on your feelings regarding your megastar would be appreciated.
Its been a while since I shot it but I recall that "most" shots hit a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper at 25 yards, while my S&W 1086 and Kimber target II both grouped within 2". The gun is bulky and heavy. The only way I could justify one in .45 acp is as a oddity to have in a collection. I bought mine when my interest in 10mm started. I wanted a heavy duty Hi-cap and from what I read, it was at the top of the list. I also think you will always find a market for the 10mm if you tire of it, not so sure about the .45

As budgets tighten, operators of manufacturing facilities must implement new ways to meet established production quotas while spending less money. Improved operational efficiencies can critically affect the profitability of food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturers, from the most basic production-line level through entire plant efficiencies, and even overall corporate performance.
One common solution for this has been increasing the focus to more energy-efficient, "green" operations. This has led to the incorporation of more efficient light bulbs or streamlining operations to reduce the plant's consumption of electricity, which leads to a decreased carbon footprint. The ultimate goal of these lean manufacturing operations is to realize current or higher product yields while using fewer resources, resulting in a healthier bottom line.
Many green initiatives, however, are not driven by sound economic principles. Focusing on improved energy efficiency and consumption in manufacturing operations is admirable, but many manufacturers have already maximized their energy efficiencies. Because of innovative fluid-transfer methods, greater savings than those realized in energy alone can be realized in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic/personal care industries.
Product waste is one area of hygienic manufacturing that experiences extremely high costs. The McKinsey Quarterly Food Waste Alliance reported that, annually, more than $120 billion of product is wasted worldwide. The Natural Resources Defense Council also estimates that the U.S. loses 40 percent of its food from farm to fork to landfills. Between farm and fork are the processing plants that manufacture some of these products. These plants are the focus of this article.
The term product recovery can refer to several different hygienic manufacturing operations—such as improper dosing and product lost through leakages or spills. However, this article will focus on product recovery as it pertains to either raw ingredients or intermediate/finished products that may remain in the suction or discharge fluid-transfer lines at the conclusion of production runs or between product changeovers.
Positive displacement eccentric disc pumping technology possesses the line-stripping and product-recovery capabilities necessary to help save hygienic manufacturers hundreds of thousands of dollars per manufacturing site annually. In turn, the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries have the potential to save many millions annually in recovered—and still marketable and consumable—end products.
Determine High Product-Recovery Values
Three criteria are used to determine if high product-recovery values can be achieved in production processes that directly impact the manufacturing operation's top and bottom lines:
- Ingredients used in the raw materials for intermediate or final products that are both extremely expensive and valuable
- Product changeovers (switching between products) occuring frequently, such as one or more times per day
- Appropriateness of the product-recovery technique or technology for the ingredient or product
Many critical areas exist within a hygienic-manufacturing operation in which fluid transfer is required. However, many manufacturers are wasting these expensive materials when they do not optimize their product-recovery capabilities, which can be accomplished through the use of eccentric disc pump technology.
The Challenge
Incorporating increased energy efficiency into the hygienic-manufacturing process is one way to save operating costs, but it is not necessarily the best way. Table 1 shows how much money is consumed and potentially saved per positive displacement pump if the cost for energy is $0.10 per kilowatt hour (kWh).
The sum of $1,008 is the energy cost to run the pump annually. If the energy consumption was reduced by 20 percent, which is unlikely, it would represent a savings of almost $202 per pump per year. For a comparison, Table 2 shows a conservative example of how much can be saved when using positive displacement eccentric disc pump technology with a minimum product-recovery capability of 70 percent to transfer a finished product from a feed tank to a filler.
When product-recovery savings of $32,160 are divided by power savings of $202, the product-recovery savings is 160 times higher per pump. The product-recovery savings accumulated in one year in this example will pay for 32 years of energy to operate the pump (not including interest). This is a huge opportunity for the manufacturer. Within today's pumping technologies, little room exists to improve motor efficiency—especially not by 20 percent. However, product recovery can be improved.

I would like to sell this FTF in western North Carolina. Buyer must have ID and permit to buy. For sale is an M&P 9c bought in March of this year. NO safeties. Trijicon yellow sights. I've put 800-1000 rounds through the gun with absolutely no problems. This is what comes with the pistol: original case, 3 12rd mags, 1 17rd mag with X-grip, a [U]new[U] Side Guard Minimal Clip holster in natural, a new UBG Regulator in black. These are awesome holsters---very comfortable. I also have a Remora Full SS, a Safariland 6378 (paddle and slide), a Fobus Roto-paddle, and a Raven Vanguard 1. All must go together. Plus, several hundred rounds of Federal ammo might be available if I haven't used them, at additional cost.
$850 obro
