I am going to try and make a helmet to go over my paintball mask mostly for intimidation purposes
I am going to try and make a helmet to go over my paintball mask mostly for intimidation purposes
IMO, if your good, just intimidate ppl with your skills.. a mod like this will only obstruct your vision!
if i was playing you, with a fett "mask"on, i would go for you first!
so if you want 3sec of play time go for it!
I can actually say that out of all the star wars helmet's ive ever worn, the mando helmet in general, has the best vision out of them all. I can say this because due to an *emergency* while wearing mine, I darted for the gas station at the end of a parade, at night, sprinting, while haveing to jump over a curb and a bush. I saw it all perfectly...
Well i tend to get noticed on the field but while you are watching me my teamates are blasting you in the flanks. My goal is to have a full set of mando armor I wont wear the helmet all the time but sometimes just for the heck of it
I have a feeling you play woodsball....right?
woodsball > speedball but airsoft > paintball LOL
sounds like a cool idea to me
yes and I know the vision thing might be bad for running thru the woods. However I dont care its all about having fun with it

As Madeline Stewart makes her way each morning to her office at Ontario-Montclair School Employees Federal Credit Union, she passes by the digital sign situated in the loan department. She always stops for a few minutes to take a look at that sign.
"I'm interested to see what's posted for the day, and I like to check the trivia question," says Stewart, a CUES member and president/CEO of the $84 million/7,100-member credit union in Ontario, Calif. Her reaction illustrates the point of digital signage, an electronic display featuring images and text on a flat-panel monitor.
"Digital signage is an engagement tool," explains Doug Braun, senior vice president of CUES Supplier member inLighten, Clarence, N.Y. "It creates an expectancy so that people intentionally look at the screen and become active viewers."
As a result, members get in the habit of checking the messages displayed on the screen each time they visit a credit union branch. For marketing purposes, "digital signage is a wonderful tool," says Rick Wilson, national vice president of sales for Works24, Edmond, Okla., "but like with any tool, it has to be used properly" to get the desired results.
Mix it Up
Messages on a digital sign might include national news, sports, weather, trivia questions, credit union announcements, information about community events sponsored by the credit union, and so on, as well as information about credit union products and services.
"We put ourselves in our members' shoes," Stewart says. "We don't want them to stand there and be hit by 'buy this, buy that.' We want the signs to be entertaining, too."
That approach is critical for digital signage to be effective, Braun says. If members see it as solely an advertising tool, they won't engage willingly and readily. "The information on the screen has to be something that delivers value to members," he says.
Over a period of four minutes or so, five to eight different messages may appear on the screen. Perhaps half or fewer of those are marketing messages. Those should give enough information so the member can see how that product or service would meet a need, solve a problem or help achieve a financial goal.
"That's where the value lies," Braun says. "The message tells enough of the story so that person will walk up to someone and say, 'Tell me more.'"
"The biggest mistake we see credit unions make is the lack of an ongoing budget for content creation," says Brian Nutt, president/CEO of Codigo, Louisville, Ky. "It is important for them to understand that installing the screen is the first step and not the last. And while many companies provide access to ready-made content templates, there is no substitute for brand-specific content in addition to access to templates."
Change it Up
Digital signage can do more than entertain members and inform them about products and services, points out Cathy Rios, VP/marketing at $2 billion/161,000-member Travis Credit Union, Vacaville, Calif.
"After we installed the signage," she says, "we surveyed our members. We saw their perceived wait times go down because they're not just standing in line staring at the back of the person in front of them."
Rios also likes the fact that she can post different messages at Travis CU's 22 branches. "For example," she says, "one location might have available safe-deposit boxes, while those at the other branches are full. So we can broadcast a message just at that one location."
Plus, she can change those messages easily and quickly, at any branch, right from her office. She contrasts that to the task of changing out traditional printed banners or posters. "That's a big task when you have 22 branches spread out over a huge area," she says. "We can't even get to them all in one day."
Tailoring content to branch demographics is a digital sign best practice, says Nutt. "I think most people associate digital signage in a branch as a screen scrolling through product-related vignettes coupled with general news and possibly stock information at the bottom of the screen. And while this is useful, I do not think it is unique and it certainly does not utilize the power of digital signage to its fullest.
"A better option is to utilize the system as it was intended by implementing day- and location-specific content so messaging can be tailored specifically to the demographic in each branch. By doing this, you suddenly broaden your horizon of options to include employee communication before the branch opens, market-specific events going on in the area and customer profile information for members of specific branches."
With just one branch office, Stewart doesn't have that problem at Ontario-Montclair School EFCU. Still, she sees the advantage of digital signs vs. print. "Now we don't have so much in the way of banners, posters, flyers … all the tchotchkes out in the lobby," she says. "We put the information on our monitors instead."
Not only has that reduced the lobby clutter, but it's also cut her printing costs, Stewart says.
A rule of thumb Braun presents is that for the cost of two print posters, you can display 10 digital messages, which better engage viewers. After a while, he notes, a printed poster "becomes just wallpaper."
Challenges With Digital Signage
Digital signs present challenges of their own, including the need to:
Keep it fresh. Digital signage can become "like the woodwork," Wilson notes, if it's posting all the same messages day after day. Some messages may run for weeks, such as for an ongoing auto loan promotion, but also in the mix should be messages that change daily or even more often, such as sports scores, weather, credit union announcements and so on.
Put someone in charge. "Someone has to be responsible for making sure your digital signage stays fresh and relevant," Wilson advises. Otherwise, signage can suffer from neglect.
Marketers aren't necessarily out in the branch lobbies every day, Rios points out. "So the challenge is 'out of sight, out of mind,'" she says. "You can kind of forget about it because you're not seeing it every day. You have to remember to use it."
The best way to do that is to designate one person to be responsible for refreshing the signage. To make that task easier, vendors have vast libraries of ready-made graphics and messages you can edit and brand to fit your CU. Or, if you have the internal resources, you could create your own.
Pick the right locations. You need to choose the best spots to put monitors in various places around your lobby and perhaps also in the drive-up. "Line of sight and positioning are important," Rios says. "The good sign companies will come out to your branches and help you with that."
Measure effectiveness. There are a variety of tools to measure effectiveness. "The easiest way is to focus on a comparative analysis between a control group of branches with similar foot traffic and demographics," says Nutt. "The comparison involves recall and experience measurement of message and environment between branches without digital signage and those that have it installed.
Another metric of success is the cost of the traditional print, ship and hang of point of sales materials vs. the immediacy of digital signage. With the right system, you can convey your message nearly instantly and with very little cost."
Know exactly what you're getting. Pricing and contract terms can be all over the map, vendors point out. That means you have to pay attention to the various parts of the agreement. What's covered in the way of equipment, servicing, replacement, additional features and so on?
In some contracts, there can "be a lot of 'oh by the way' kind of stuff," Wilson says. "You can end up paying for a lot of add-ons" you thought were included in the original deal. A contract should spell out clearly and concisely what you're getting. Wilson's personal advice? "If a contract is more than one page, I wouldn't sign it."
If you haven't looked at what's available in digital signage for a while, you might be surprised to learn how much it's changed. For instance, Braun points out, a flat-screen monitor might have sold for up to $5,000 a few years ago. Today a quality one will cost less than $500. Prices for equipment that drives the on-screen images also has dropped.
"The important thing for credit unions contemplating digital signage to realize," Braun says, "is that it's now easier to use and more cost-effective."

I took my car in for the tsb on the steering and the headliner noise (have a sunroof) 3-16-11. They call today and say it's done and to bring the loaner car back. I take a quick drive to make sure there is no more squeaking from the headliner. I also noticed the steering is a lot stiffer but didn't have enough time to check on the hwy for the wandering issue since they were closing in 20 mins. I drove maybe 10 miles tonight and all of a sudden it sounds like my car is from the fast and furious movie!!!!!!!!! The exhaust is soooooo loud and deep growling. All of a sudden there is clunking and jerking and I am wondering if I can make it back home. Thanks Barreth Ford!!!! My car was NEVER doing that when I brought it in!!!! Enjoy your weekend while I am without a car until Monday when I am going to try and drive it back over there. Oh yeah, just 5000 miles on my car and it's a POS now! THANKS FOR NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE: My husband looked under the car and sadly it's not the exhaust. Barreth Ford have done much more serious damage to my car!!

text: SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: RIGL) today announced that James M. Gower, the company's chairman and chief executive officer, will present an update on the company's product portfolio at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco on January 7, 2013 at 1:30pm Pacific time (see webcast details below). In December 2012, Rigel initiated a Phase 1 clinical study of R348, a topical JAK/SYK inhibitor, as a potential therapeutic for chronic dry eye and expects to initiate a Phase 2 clinical study in mid 2013. With the addition of R348, Rigel currently has four programs in clinical development, including fostamatinib, which is completing its Phase 3 program with partner AstraZeneca. "Rigel has created a substantial clinical portfolio with key products now in Phase 3 and Phase 2 clinical trials," said Mr. Gower. "We expect 2013 to be a transformational year for Rigel as several of these studies produce clinical results in succession." The following is additional information about some of the programs Rigel will discuss at the J.P. Morgan Conference: Fostamatinib Rigel's partner, AstraZeneca, reported that the Phase 3 trials of fostamatinib in the OSKIRA (Oral SYK Inhibition in Rheumatoid Arthritis) program are proceeding on course. The program includes three pivotal studies assessing the efficacy and safety of fostamatinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OSKIRA-1 and OSKIRA-2 are independent 12-month studies examining the effect of fostamatinib on RA patients with inadequate responses to DMARDs, including methotrexate. OSKIRA-3 is a 6-month study assessing the effect of fostamatinib on RA patients who have previously responded inadequately to a single anti-TNF therapy. In addition, AstraZeneca is conducting a long-term extension study looking at the ongoing safety and tolerability of the investigational drug (OSKIRA-X). The OSKIRA Phase 3 studies are expected to report top line results in the first half of 2013. AstraZeneca expects to submit regulatory filings in the US and EU for fostamatinib use in combination with a DMARD, based on the OSKIRA Phase 3 program, in the second half of 2013.

Night owl baby wears out parents
By Martha Heineman Pieper, PhD. and William J. Pieper, M.D.
Q: My 4-week-old baby doesn't seem to distinguish between night and day. She is most awake from about midnight to 3 a.m. and does her best sleeping during the day. My pediatrician advises me to get her on a schedule by putting her in her crib at night and letting her cry herself to sleep. I know you argue against leaving babies to cry, but I am exhausted from lack of sleep and really want my baby to get night and day straightened out. Do you have any suggestions that don't involve leaving her to cry?
P.T., Aurora
A: Your baby is in the very early stages of adjusting to life outside the uterus. Perhaps you are expecting her to sleep longer at night than she can at this point. This is a very short-term problem—when you look at it from the perspective of 21 or so years of growing up.
You are right that letting her cry is not the way to teach her to sleep better at night. The emotional price babies pay for being left to cry is to think that the unhappiness they feel is what their parents want for them. They then develop the need to recreate those same unhappy feelings for themselves.
We know how tired parents of newborns can be, but if you comfort your baby when she has difficulty sleeping you will reap the future reward of seeing your baby become a calm, confident, optimistic child.
That said, we do have some practical suggestions for hastening the process by which your baby learns to sleep at night and play during the day. First, try to be as boring as possible between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Of course, you always want to use a caring, gentle touch, but try to avoid stimulating your baby. Don't turn on more lights than necessary, don't be too talkative, don't bring the baby into a room with a lot of activity or other people, don't leave anything but a small night light on at night. During her daytime naps, leave the lights on or the windows uncovered. In the not too distant future, your baby will respond and begin to differentiate night and day. Meanwhile, whenever possible let the chores go and sleep when your baby sleeps so as to preserve your own strength.
She wet her pants and now fears preschool Q: Our 4-year-old daughter is a very happy and well-loved child. She chose to use the toilet at age 2 and has had few accidents, all of which have been handled gently with a "no big deal" attitude. After attending a wonderful preschool for about six months, she had an accident and wet her pants. She says she didn't go to the bathroom because she didn't want to miss snack. Now she doesn't want to go back to school. The nights before school she gets so upset and anxious she cries and refuses to go to school unless I go with her. When we go, she loves being there, but when we talk about her going to school on her own she gets upset and tells me she'll miss me too much. This is unusual since she's never been insecure about my temporary absence.
Knowing it is related to the accident, I ask her what upset her the most about it. She says, "I was embarrassed." I tell her it is normal to have accidents and that many people, including adults, have them. I tell her she can wear Pull-Ups if that would help. "No way" is her response. The school has been very helpful and understanding, but I can't keep going with her forever. Please help me to help her return to her well-adjusted, happy childhood.
M.M., Brookfield
A: Our hunch is that your daughter is putting her finger on the problem when she says she felt embarrassed by wetting her pants. Either the teachers weren't as supportive as you think, or she was teased by other children. When you are there with her, she feels that if she were to wet herself again she would be protected from painful feelings. We suggest you check with the school to make sure children aren't being allowed to tease others who make mistakes. Perhaps you also could send an extra set of clothes and underclothes so she will not worry about having to stay in wet clothes in case of another accident.
Meanwhile, tell your daughter you will continue to go to school with her as long as she needs you. When she seems more relaxed, try leaving for a few minutes every day. If she does well in your absence, gradually increase the time you are gone. Eventually, she will be able to go to school by herself again. Most important is to take her fear seriously whether it makes sense to you or not. If you can give her this leeway now, chances are you will avoid school problems later on.
Learning to use utensils is important, but messy Q: My 11-month-old son wants to do everything we do, including eat with utensils. When I give him a spoon or fork he doesn't get much to eat and the food is all over him and the kitchen. But when I don't let him have utensils and he sees me eating with a fork and spoon he cries. I would like to wait until he is older, but I don't know how to make him accept that he can't have utensils now. Please help.
A.L., Chicago
A: Your son is going through an important developmental process. Unfortunately, you can't postpone it until a more convenient time. The most important engine powering successful development is the desire to be just like one's beloved parents. It is important to interfere with that motive as little as possible. Obviously your baby can't copy you and cook on the stove, but he can certainly try to eat with a child's fork and spoon.
You may feel better if you try to keep the mess to a minimum. Put a big plastic sheet under his high chair, dress him in something simple and washable, and let him have fun. If you are worried whether he is getting enough to eat, make sure he has some finger food on his tray and put some food on a separate spoon and offer it to him in between his own efforts. See if you can enjoy his pleasure at trying to master this skill and be grown up like Mom and Dad. Someday you may even look back on these meals with real nostalgia.

Ok, got it working……If anyone is interested:
First of all, I'm using a mac… so no VB, im using text wrangler and the python script from BORISMUS posted above, once i have the id is going to be in hex, go to google and using a hex to decimal converter, convert your hex into decimal.
Note: when you copy your hex into the converter is going to paste with spaces between the characters, remove them or youll get a different decimal i.e. CC 30 1f 30 change to CC301F30
if (fob_id == 1521890351) { //this is my ID, get your own!
timeCheck = millis();
fob_id = 0;
digitalWrite(drivenPin, HIGH);
if ((millis() - timeCheck) > 5000) { // keep things lit constantly and for 5 seconds afterwards digitalWrite(drivenPin, LOW); }
Replace the 1521890351 with your unique id you got from the hex converter.
1.I did not have to desolder the jumper as per Deadly Damon sugestion.. 2.Because the BOARD IM USING DUEMILANOVE uses the ftdi chip, i cant use the pins 0,1 for serial comunications while conected to usb.
read the pde carefully and youll understand…
Hope it helps, Enjoy.
I can connect to the board via usb, bu cannot get it to comunicate with the arduino atmega 328, im using the Ifob.pde and got tx-tx, rx-rx, 3.3v and ground, what am i missing,?
No public wish lists :(

4th Surface Technology
Ph: 800/221-0444
Low-E 4th Surface Technology from Pilkington allows a double-glazed IG unit to achieve a 12 percent improved thermal performance over a triple-pane unit, the company states. Adding a pyrolytic low-E coating to the #4 surface of the unit reflects infrared heat back into the home, reducing the amount of radiant heat loss through the glass. Infrared heat is room heat generated inside a building at or near room temperature. In cold weather conditions, a low-E coating on the #2 surface inhibits room heat from transferring across the air space toward the outside. By adding a second low-E coating to the #4 surface, the thermal insulation is further improved by reflecting room heat back inside. This reduces the radient heat loss and improves the overall insulation of the IG. Applying two pyrolytic low-E lites in an IG unit reduces the center-of-glass U-factor by 45 percent, compared to an IG unit with two panes of standard clear, it is reported. The manufacturer of Energy Advantage glass also reports that the product has been enhanced to dramatically increased its clarity, improving homeowners views and aesthetics, while maintaining the benefits of enhanced insulation and high solar heat gain. The latest advancements in coating technology reduce the haze value of the glass to a level so low that is difficult to perceive and still has no off-angle color as found with some sputter coated glass products, the company states.

Bilstein does not offer a steering stabilizer for your Jeep, so you basically have two good options. If your Jeep has a factory steering stabilizer, I recommend the KYB unit here:
1980 Jeep CJ7 Replacement Steering Stabilizer
If your Jeep doesn't have a stabilizer and you want to add one, we have a Rancho kit to add a stabilizer:

Grace Barmaki interviewed Badran Roy Badran, the director of A Play Entitled Sehnsucht, for Agenda Culturel. Here are the highlights.
Badran grew up during the Lebanese civil war, a period whose fears and tensions he says are reflected in his film.
"The film […] gathers a number of psychological states related to the city of Beirut: trauma and isolation, desire and nostalgia for an ideal past."
"The claustrophobic world of A Play Entitled Sehnsucht is no different from our daily experience as a Lebanese people, in which desire for comfort and security becomes a sterile paradise."
And what of reality in this surrealist film directed over the course of five years? The director describes the film as a moving painting.
"The film fuses reality with strange fantasy through its main character, Bernard Zeidan, a Lebanese astronomer who is trapped in life and wants to escape it. This becomes clearer when dream and reality intertwine."
"The main goal was to use image and sound in various combinations and juxtapositions to provoke a panoply of emotions and physiological states in the spectator […] I worked on manipulating sound to guide the spectator's emotions, but without detracting from the image created by the music."
The young director however leaves it up to his audience to decipher the film's message.
"I leave most images without explanation, so that they maintain their original power and multiple associations to the audience's collective unconscious."
"The film alone transmits the message, and the spectator has no other choice than to look in its details to make sense of it."

The Grass Isn't Greener
Growth is harder to find in an environment without macroeconomic tailwinds. It's amazing how often executives rush to the conclusion that their problems are simply a function of a decline in their core markets. There's bound to be greener grass somewhere, isn't there? Actually, no. The idea that some industries are superior is illusory. The data does not support it. Sure, some industries outperform others for a time, but the differences across industries are far smaller than most people think. By contrast, the variation in returns among companies within the same industry is huge.
The message for corporate leaders is clear: Shifting into a hot, new industry probably won't revive growth. Given a choice — and they have a choice — they should focus instead on building the capabilities to win in their home industry.

Ziopharm has three clinical trial-stage drugs that are being tested to treat various cancers from myeloma, liver cancer, and sarcoma. Its drugs ZIO-101 and ZIO-201 are currently in Phase II testings. The company believes it will complete its current Phase II trials for ZIO-101 in myeloma, liver tumors, and hematological cancers by the end of this year. It also thinks it will be able to complete its Phase II trials for sarcoma with ZIO-201 by the end of the year.
This should be encouraging to investors. The end of these trials could create catalysts for the stock to move, which it needs, as the stock has been stuck in neutral ever since going public. However, the data that has been made available so far has been very limited. The company appears to be having success in its trials, but I'm afraid it is too early to make a call on this stock. The end of the current trials should give us a better idea of the direction this company is headed.
I am not currently comfortable making a investment or recommendation on this stock. I am cautiously optimistic about the future though. In looking at the potential value of this firm, I came up with a fair value of about $6, which only takes into account part of ZIO-101's potential, and ZIO-201, it doesn't include ZIO-301, which is in Phase I trials.
I feel like I'll be able to get a better idea of the company's potential value later in the year, when more data comes out. I am also cautiously optimistic because the two analysts that follow the company have buy ratings on the stock with price targets of $10 and $20. I will be following this stock as we get closer to year-end. There is potential for Ziopharm, I just feel we can take our time and do the proper research before investing in this risky biotech.

The Fastest Acting, Longest Working Ice Melter. Hotter Than Ordinary Ice Melters.
SNOMELT calcium chloride pellets instantly generate heat on contact with ice and snow to speed the deicing and melting process. SNOMELT works more than five times faster than rock salt and blended ice melters. Click to see chart.
Longer Lasting.
SNOMELT is concentrated to keep working long after others quit.
Less Melts More.
A little goes a long way. You would need five times more rock salt to do the same job. Click to see chart.
Not all Deicers are Created Equal.
Performance is determined by:
Tough on Ice and Snow, Easy on Plants and Concrete.
Any deicer may be harmful to vegetation, but when used as directed, SnoMelt will not damage trees, shrubs, flower beds or grass. SNOMELT will not chemically or physically attack concrete. The lower the chloride content, the lower the risk. The application of SNOMELT results in the lowest accumulation of chloride compared to other commercial deicer products.

Purchase the original Lexmark #17 black inkjet cartridge for your Lexmark printer here at Simplyink.com. This black Lexmark moderate yield ink cartridge contains 14 ml of ink and can print up to 205 pages. You can count on OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) 10N0217 Lexmark ink cartridges to give you optimal quality photos and crisp, clear text every time. The Lexmark 10N0217 ink cartridge works with these printer models: Lexmark X75, X1150, X1185, X2250, X1100, X1270, X1240, X1130, X1110, X1140, X1155, X1160, X1170, X1180, X1190, X1195, X1290, X2230 and X224.
Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard
pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually
measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5
x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three
paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text
and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to
15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each
cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your
page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed
photos will be much less than the amount the number of
pages you would be able to print if you were just printing
standard text documents.

|THE ASPEN SCHOOL DISTRICT WEB SITE HAS MOVED!! If you are reading this message the migration to our new site is still in progress; please go to asd.schoolwires.net to access current district/school information as this site you have accessed is no longer being maintained.
Attendance Goals
Aspen High School is extremely proud of its academic reputation. Our graduation rate, number of students going on to college and rigorous academic program place us in the top echelon of high schools across the nation. It is important for us to maintain our reputation and this is best accomplished by having our students in school and in classes as much as possible.
In order to accomplish this we have established as a goal:
"to maintain an average daily attendance (ADA) of between 94% - 95% for our student population".
We strongly encourage parents to have their children in school and on time every school day of the year. Naturally, extenuating circumstances exist which may require students to occasionally miss a class or day of school for health or family issues. We have attempted to implement an attendance system that will allow for these occasions with minimal inconvenience to parents and students while allowing us to maintain accurate records for district and state reporting requirements.
The following information is intended to clarify for parents the procedures for handling attendance issues for their students.
Table of Contents

Page 3….Pre-arranged Absences
Page 4….School Sponsored Activities
Page 5.....
Page 6….
Page 7….
Page 8….
Page 9….
Page 10...
Entering or Leaving Classes in Session
Early Dismissal:
Students who need to leave classes early are required to bring a note to the front office from their parent or guardian. The note should state the reason for dismissal and the time the student needs to be dismissed. This note will be kept in the office as an official record and the student will be issued a school dismissal note to be given to the appropriate teacher. In lieu of a note, parents may call the attendance assistant with the information. However, students must still report to the office to pick up a dismissal note to give to the classroom teacher.
Late Arrival:
Students who will be entering a class after it has begun are required to bring a note to the front office from their parent or guardian. The note should state the reason for their being tardy. This note will be kept in the office as an official record and the student will be issued a school admittance note stating the reason, whether the admittance is excused or unexcused and the time the student checked in at the main office. In lieu of a note, parents may call the attendance assistant with the information. However, students must still report to the office to pick up a class admittance note.
Excused versus Unexcused Absences and Course Credit Issues
An unexcused absence (a class missed without being excused by a parent, teacher or school administrator) results in an after-school detention for a student of 90 minutes. Students who do not serve their assigned detention are subject to further school discipline up to and including suspension from school.
In the past there has been some confusion about absences and loss of course credit.
Students are required to be present in each of their courses each semester for 85% of the time in order to receive credit for the course.
If a student misses more than 7 classes in a given course during the semester he/she may lose credit for that course.
Even though a parent may excuse a student from a class it still counts toward a loss of credit for the class.
The ONLY absences which do not count toward loss of credit are:
1) an absence verified by an official note from a doctor
2) an absence for a death in the family verified by a parent/guardian
3) an absence for a school sponsored activity
4) a pre-arranged absence (see the section on pre-arranged absences)
Pre-arranged Absences
The pre-arranged absence is designed to give students the opportunity to take advantage of unique extended educational/athletic experiences or deal with family crises/issues that cannot be handled outside of scheduled school days. It is not intended to be used for extended vacation time.
The pre-arranged absence requires students to obtain an official school pre-arranged form from the attendance assistant in the front office. It is the responsibility of the student to fill in their portion of the form and then see each teacher whose classes will be missed during the absence. Each teacher will note any assignments that are required to be completed during the student's absence, any additional reading that needs to be done, and any tests/quizzes that may be missed. Teachers may ask students to do assignments prior to their absence. Once teacher information has been noted, students must obtain the signature of the assistant principal and leave a copy of the completed form in the main office.
Pre-arranged absence requests MUST be done at least 5 school days in advance of the actual absence. This gives teachers an opportunity to prepare any packets of study or additional information for the student. It also gives teachers an opportunity to ask students to take tests or quizzes ahead of time
Any work noted by teachers is required to be made up by the student within a timeframe equal to that of their absence. Students (NOT TEACHERS) are accountable for the made up work. If work is not made up in the appropriate timeframe teachers are not required to extend the time or give credit for the missing work.
In order to obtain a pre-arranged absence form a parent or guardian needs to send a note to the attendance assistant requesting the pre-arranged absence and stating the days of anticipated absence. This note will be kept in the front office as an official request for the pre-arranged absence. In lieu of a note, the parent may call the attendance assistant with the information.
*NOTE: Once obtained the pre-arranged form must be completely filled out and authorized and a copy returned to the main office to be valid. If it is not, the absences will count toward potential loss of credit.
School Sponsored Activities
Parents do not need to notify the attendance assistant of their child's absence due to school sponsored activities. The school's athletic director or teacher leading the activity will provide the attendance office with a list of students who will be missing classes. These will be entered in the attendance system appropriately. Students do not need to get a pre-arranged absence form for these activities BUT are still responsible for class work and homework assigned during the activity absence.
Illness During the Day
If your child becomes ill during the school day they must report to the office and receive an official school slip to go to the nurses' office. The nurses will assess the situation and if necessary will contact parents to have their student dismissed/picked up. The nurses will notify the main office if a student is dismissed. If a student is cleared to return to class, they need to stop back at the main office to receive al school admit slip to return to class.
Doctor's Visits
We recognize that during the course of the school year students may become ill from time to time. We encourage students to practice good health habits (i.e. plenty of sleep, good nutrition, wash hands frequently, not share water bottles or utensils, etc.). However, if your child has an extended absence (more than 2 days) due to illness we encourage you to see a doctor and have the doctor provide you with a note documenting your child's absence. When we receive a copy of this note all related absences are noted as "doctor verified" absences. These absences do not count toward potential loss of credit for your child. Again, students are responsible for making up missed work in a timeframe equal to that of their absence.
Enrollment in Aspen High School
Every student at Aspen High school must enroll each year they plan to attend.
All enrollments for returning and new students begin in the main office.
The primary enrollment period at Aspen High School occurs in early August each year. Students are assigned enrollment days by class level typically in the week before classes are to begin (see the schedule for enrollment dates in the summer enrollment packet or online at www.aspenk12.net>Schools>Aspen High School). An enrollment packet is mailed out in July to all returning students and students moving up from middle schools in Aspen.
New students or students who do not receive their summer packet can find all of the enrollment forms online at www.aspenk12.net>schools>Aspen High School. If the internet is not available, copies of enrollment forms can be picked up in the high school office between the hours of 8:00 and 2:00 starting August 3rd.
Once students are officially enrolled they will receive their class schedules and be placed on class rolls for attendance.
Withdrawal from Aspen High School
Any student who decides to stop attending Aspen High School must go through the formal withdrawal process of the school.
All withdrawals for currently enrolled students begin in the main office.
Students who wish to withdraw from school, begin home schooling, spend a semester away, etc.; must pick up a formal withdrawal form in the main office. This form requires students to go through a progressive series of steps to see teachers, see administrators, return books, clean out lockers, pay outstanding fees and talk with counselors. Once this process is complete the form is left with the counseling office and it will trigger the preparation and transfer of official transcripts to new schools and formal un-enrollment from Aspen High School.
Students who do not go through this formal process may find that official transcripts and grades are withheld until the process is complete.
Daily Attendance Procedures
Aspen School District tracks daily attendance on its Power School computer system. Teachers can see their class rolls in an electronic format and mark the attendance for students at the beginning of each class.
At Aspen High School the attendance assistant in the main office will periodically run attendance reports throughout the day and call parents to inform them of their child's unexcused absences.
It is important that parents call in to excuse absences for their child as early as possible in the school day to avoid having students charged with an unexcused class absence.
Each Tuesday and Thursday students who still have unexcused absences recorded in Power School, for the period between detention days, are assigned from 3:30 until 5:00 pm. Detentions are taken very seriously at school and take precedence over all other school activities. Students who fail to attend detention are assigned a double detention and if these are not served may be suspended from school at the discretion of the assistant principal.
NOTE: Detention may also be assigned for other reasons at the discretion of teachers and administrators.

Griffin MAAC Rookie of the Year
College Volleyball
Rider's Griffin MAAC Rookie of the Year
Ackermann MAAC All-Rookie Team
Nine Broncs MAAC All-Academic
LOUDONVILLE—Freshman Kaitlyn Griffin of the Rider University volleyball team was named the 2013 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year it was announced Friday evening at the awards banquet, hosted by Siena College.
Griffin, along with freshman Ryan Ackermann (Leesburg, Va./Stone Bridge) was named to the MAAC All-Rookie team in voting by the league head coaches.
"We are extremely proud of both Ryan and Kaitlyn making the All-Rookie team," said head coach Christopher Feliciano said. "Their hard work and dedication to both our system and teamwork were tremendous."
A middle hitter from Chesapeake, Virginia (Hickory), Griffin is fourth in the MAAC and leads all freshman with a .300 hitting percentage and is eighth in service aces with 29.
Griffin led Rider in kills (249), kills per set (2.52), total blocks (97), and points per set (3.38), playing all 29 matches and 99 of 105 sets as Rider finished 15-14 this season.
"Kaitlyn winning the Rookie of the Year award is a testament to the improvement of our serve receive and our setting selections," said Feliciano. "Her production was instrumental to our season. As a staff, we believe that she is a very special player who makes everyone else around her better."
Griffin was named MAAC Rookie of the Week five times this season on September 3, September 9, October 29, November 5 and November 12.
Ackermann, from Leesburg, Va. (Stone Bridge), played in all 105 sets and was second on the team in kills (244), kills per set (2.32), digs (254) and digs per set (2.32) while compiling 33 blocks.
"Ryan was tremendous this year," Feliciano said. "We are very excited to have her on the floor for the next three years at the critical outside hitter position. The development of her shot selection and consistency in ball control this spring will allow Ryan to continue to grow into what we believe will be a top tier outside hitter in the conference."
Under Feliciano, the Broncs enjoyed a six-win improvement from 2011 to 2012 and Rider increased its win total by another four matches this season.
As strong as Rider was on the court, the Broncs were equally strong in the classroom, placing nine student-athletes on the MAAC All-Academic team.
Earning All-Academic honors was sophomore Caitlin Hess (Cool, Calif. /Golden Sierra), sophomore Brandie Hill (Portland, Ore./Lincoln), junior Rachel Jensen (Buena Park, Calif./Troy), senior Megan Knott (West Caldwell/James Caldwell), junior Kelsey Kowalski (Wrightstown/Northern Burlington), sophomore Nicole Moorman (Moon Township, Pa./Moon Area HS), senior Bridget Sheerin (Oak Lawn, Ill./Marist), senior Jaclyn Webber (Anaheim, Calif./Canyon) and junior Kayla Wong (Tustin, Calif./Arnold O. Beckman).
To be eligible for All-Academic honors, the student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher and have compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or higher.
Jensen is an English major with a 3.83 grade point average, Hess is a Behavioral Neuroscience major with a 3.73 g.p.a., Webber is a Biology major with a 3.58 g.p.a., and Moorman is an Elementary Education major with a 3.51 grade point average.
Kowalski is a Management and Leadership major with a 3.30 g.p.a., Hill is a Business major with a 3.29 grade point average, Knott is a Secondary Education major with a 3.27 g.p.a., Sheerin is a Business major with a 3.26 grade point average and Wong is a Business Information Systems major with a 3.24 g.p.a.
Rider returns 12 letterwinners for the 2014 season.

Carbon Dioxide Proves Useful in Nanotech
March 3, 2014
Article's tools:
Carbon dioxide is mostly known for being a greenhouse gas and hence a major environmental problem. For Warsaw chemists, however, carbon dioxide (CO2) has become something else: a key to the development of nanomaterials with unprecedented properties.
Researchers from the Polish Academy of Sciences' Institute of Physical Chemistry in Warsaw and the Warsaw University of Technology's Faculty of Chemistry used specially designed chemicals combined with carbon dioxide to develop a range of unprecedented nanomaterials. The new materials are highly porous and can be used for the storage of gases that are an important source of energy and for the production of sensing devices, for example. Moreover, microporous fluorescent materials obtained using carbon dioxide emit light with a quantum yield significantly higher than those of standard materials used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).
"Our research is not confined to the development of materials," says Janusz Lewiński, a professor at the Warsaw Institute of Physical Chemistry. "Its particular importance comes from the fact that it opens a new route for the synthesis of nanomaterials based on zinc carbonate and zinc oxide, a route where carbon dioxide plays a key role."
Research papers reporting on the accomplishments of Lewiński's group have been published in prestigious international chemical journals such as Angewandte Chemie and Chemical Communications.
Carbon dioxide is a natural component of the Earth's atmosphere. It is the most abundant carbon-based building block and plays a role in the synthesis of glucose, an energy carrier and building unit of paramount importance for living organisms.
Kamil Sokołowski, a doctoral student at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, says, "Carbon dioxide has for years been used in the industrial synthesis of polymers. However, there has been very few research papers focusing on the development of inorganic functional materials using carbon dioxide."
Lewiński's group has demonstrated that appropriately designed precursor compounds, in reaction with carbon dioxide, can be used to produce microporous material (with a pore diameter of less than 2 nm) resulting from the self-assembly of luminescent nanoclusters. This novel microporous material, composed of building blocks with a zinc carbonate core encapsulated in an appropriately designed organic shell (hydroxyquinoline ligands), is highly luminescent.
Sokołowski says, "Using carbon dioxide as a building block we were able to construct a highly porous and highly luminescent material. Can it be used for the construction of luminescent diodes or sensing devices? The discovery is new, the research work on the innovative material is in progress, but we are deeply convinced that the answer is yes."
The new material has attracted considerable interest. Both Polish and international patent applications have been filed for the invention and work is in progress to put it to practical use in a project involving a joint venture company.
The design of the precursors was inspired by nature, the researchers say, in particular by the binding of carbon dioxide in enzymatic systems of carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme responsible for the fast metabolism of carbon dioxide in the human body. Effective enzyme activity hinges on its active center, where a hydroxyzinc (ZnOH) type reaction system is located.
A hydroxyzinc reaction system also occurs in molecules of the alkylzinc compounds designed by the researchers and used for the fixation of carbon dioxide. These compounds are particularly interesting, because, in addition to hydroxyl compounds, they also contain a reactive metal-carbon bond. This means that both the first and the second reaction system can participate in consecutive chemical transformations of such precursors.
Research involving the chemistry of alkylhydroxyzinc compounds is more than 150 years old and its beginnings are related to the birth of organometallic chemistry. However, it was only in 2011 and 2012 that Lewiński's group presented the first examples of stable alkylhydroxyzinc compounds obtained as a result of a rationally designed synthesis.
The strategy for materials synthesis using carbon dioxide and appropriate alkylhydroxyzinc precursors discovered by the Warsaw researchers promises to be a versatile tool for the production of various functional materials. Depending on the composition of the reagents and the process conditions, a mesoporous material (with a pore diameter of 2 to 50 nm) composed of zinc carbonate nanoparticles or multinuclear zinc nanocapsules for prospective applications in supramolecular chemistry can be obtained.
Further research by Lewiński's group showed that the mesoporous materials based on ZnCO3-nanoparticles can be transformed into zinc oxide (ZnO) aerogels. Mesoporous materials made of ZnO nanoparticles with an extended surface can be used as catalytic fillings allowing for and accelerating reactions of various gaseous reagents. Other potential applications are related to the semiconducting properties of zinc oxide. That's why in the future the innovative materials can be used in photovoltaic cells or as a major component of semiconductor sensing devices.

For the recipe, please refer to here. As a recap before we left Melbourne, the Wife's cousin treated us to a home cooked meal of chicken rice and that was the last i had a sniff of good chicken rice. Determined to replicate the dish, i mean i did feature it under "Joe can cook" even though i did nothing but eat large portions of it, i went off to buy a whole chicken and realised making chicken rice is not easy!
From stuffing spring onions and ginger into the chicken cavity, seasoning and poaching the chicken then taking it out, to cooking the rice with pandan leaves, ginger and garlic and finally the chilli, the whole process took a good 2 hours.
At least it looks like it paid of though.

I know this is an old thread but I had occasion to replace this trim panel today and found a method to deal with the plastic rivets. I checked the entire thread and didn't see the answer to this problem.
And I found it is not necessary to remove the seat back trim to release the rearmost rivet.
There is no doubt that these rivets are TIGHT! I tried prying under the rivet heads with no luck at all. Visibility was minimal, space was tight and the force required was high. I kept slipping off the rivet.

I couldn't find them on my own and I had to literally tear the old BMW seat outer cover off in order to find them. I had to cut them out as they would not come out any other way (PJB was right).
I hope this picture shows it for the next person. Basically, the two #T30 Torx screws are on the top and the three plastic rivets are on the bottom.
One Torx screw is at the very front, the other is at the location where the seat back joins the seat bottom. One plastic rivet is in the front bottom, another in the middle bottom, and the last one (the toughest to see) is at the back bottom.
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I NEED TO REMOVE THE SEAT BACK (how?) to get to that last rear plastic rivet?
Finally I did this.
1) removed the two torx head screws
2) raised the seat as high as it would go and as far forward. Then put the seat back as upright as it would go. It gave just enough visibility to see the locations of the 2 rear rivets from the rear seat footwell, especially with the new panel for reference.
3) inserted a tack puller (trim tool or screwdriver would work too) between the tab of the trim panel and the seat frame,
not between the rivet head and tab
. The rivets then popped out easily.
4) with the seat back upright, there was enough space to release the rearmost rivet and work the rivet and tab out of the pocket
5) moved the seat rearward ward and released the front rivet the same way
The rivets can be removed from the old panel for reuse by sqeezing the barb end close to the head with a pair of pliers and pushing them through. It needs a tight sqeeze and a firm push. This is what was so tight; why I couldn't pry the rivet out in situ.
For assembly,
1) insert all three rivets into the holes of the trim panel tabs, just as shown in Bluebee's picture. There is room to position the panel with the rivets in the tabs
2) position the panel on the seat and start the two torx screws. Just a few turns so they are locating the panel & won't fall out and get lost but will allow the panel to move easily
3) wiggle the tabs/rivets around until they enter into the holes of the frame; they will almost fall into place on their own, since the panel is positioned by the screws. Push each one home as it locates in the frame - they will seat quite easily. Front one from the front of course, the two rear ones from the rear seat area. Move the seat as convenient
4) tighten the two torx screws
BTW, I found I didn't need to disconnect the seat control switch block from the harness connector/plug. After releasing the trim panel, there was lots of harness length for access to release it from the old panel and snap into the new one.
Once I'd figured this out, it became a 10 to 15 minute job total. It just took me 45 minutes of frustration to work it out

He told me to use my Mod. choke and gave me 3" shells (can't remember what size) Anyhow, I've been shooting trap and skeet for about a year and it just seemed to me that the ducks wasn't close enough for Mod.,,, but he has been hunting duck for years. Needless to say I did not take any down, put my 13 yr. old boy got one, that made it worth wild for me. What choke do you use for Fl. ducks and what shot???


text: BOSTON, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Solos Endoscopy, Inc. (OTCPK: SNDY) is pleased to announce that the Company plans to continue its progress in 2013 as its management has announced its goals for moving forward in the New Year. Solos Management believes its long term success is contingent upon its efforts to strengthen its balance sheet, its ability to obtain proper certifications of its product line, and the development of distribution channels for its endoscopic instruments. In 2013, Solos management will focus on completing its certifications, mergers and acquisitions, and the commencement of a financial audit as the Company attempts to move to the next level. Management is confident that its products have been FDA approved and are accepted in Hospitals nationwide. The Company will continue product development and marketing as it attempts to sell its endoscopic instruments internationally. Solos Endoscopy management strengthened its balance sheet in 2102 as it finished the 3 rd quarter with total assets of $2,490,394 compared to total liabilities of just $96,872 for the same period. As a result the Company has net assets or a book value of $2,393,522. Throughout the year, Solos focused its R & D efforts into the design and development of new modifications to its endoscopic instrument lines to accommodate the continual advances in Laparoscopic surgical procedures. This includes the introduction of the new Steri Tap and the addition of Bariatric instruments for procedures for the most overweight sectors of our population. Solos now offers all of its instruments in lengths from 32cm up to 45 cm. The demand for endoscopic services is increasing due to a rise in the aging and chronically ill population worldwide. Advancements in endoscopic technologies and inclusion of various types of lighting sources, video cameras, real-time conversion of data into three-dimensional images are also driving this market. Endoscopy procedures have become highly effective in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancer patients. Many now consider endoscopy to have become the gold standard for cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as for many other medical conditions.

crawl space insulation & faced batts
I am wondering if anyone knows if it is ok to use faced-batts of insulation in the crawl space with the facing towards the masonry wall?
Thank you
In cooler climates, face always goes towards the heated side. But for basement, crawl space walls I would use rigid foam insulation.
no. The vapor retarder (paper facing) must be placed on the warm side. It is still colder outside this wall. However this type of insulation placed on the masonry wall is a very bad idea anyway since moisture travels in both directions. And you really do not need insulation on that wall. Insulate with spray foam along the rim joist filling every bay to get a more effective barrier.
Rather than insulate the walls I would insulate between the floor joists with the vapor barrier against the heated space, leave the walls alone just do the floor. Make sure you tighten up the leaks around the rim joist. And make sure you have adequate cross ventilation just like your attic.

What was your best holiday ever?
We've been to France three times, to a chateau in the Lot, and I absolutely loved it. There's so much space there, especially when you're used to living in London, and I really enjoyed going canoeing on the river and horse riding. The chateau was beautiful and it was really huge. I enjoyed just being in France, too, eating their food and hearing the language - although I did find it very difficult to understand as they do seem to talk so fast!
How does your family decide on holiday plans?
We - my parents, my younger sister and I - all sit together round the computer and search the internet to find the places we like the look of. We've just come back from County Mayo in Ireland and we stayed in a lovely house by the sea that we found on the internet like that.
What do you like doing on holiday?
I like sports, so somewhere I can play tennis and do sporty things is great. In Ireland, we went to the beach almost every day and I loved swimming in the sea, although it is freezing. We also spent some time in Ireland finding out about my ancestors who came from there. We visited the farm where my grandfather was born - it's really rundown now, but we went in and there were still crucifixes on the walls and even some wardrobes and cupboards and drawings. It was amazing seeing into the past like that and imagining people from our family being in those rooms.
Any tips for parents on holiday?
Be a bit better organised! It's good being laid back, but I don't like deciding everything at the last moment. The other thing I think parents need to know is that children hate driving around on holiday. Cut down car journeys when you get to where you're going, and we'd all be a lot happier.
Where are you off to next?
Well, Ireland was great but the weather wasn't amazing. I think next year we'll all opt for somewhere hot. I've never been to Italy, and I've heard a lot about it because I've got a friend who's half Italian, so that would be my first choice.

My wife, back in the day, had a front license plate which read "THE B****"...Whenever she heard the "B" word directed toward her, she always thought it was someone that knew her and just smiled and waved at em!!!
Oh...btw...when our daughter started kindergarden, we had to reluctantly remove the license plate. We just weren't sure how things would go in the car line!!!!

Jonny Wilkinson could yet be a part of this summer's British and Irish Lions tour after it was revealed he will hold discussions about being on the standby list.
The former England international was overlooked by Warren Gatland for the 37-man squad, with Lions manager Andy Irvine explaining that the Toulon player ruled himself out.
"The truth is Jonny wasn't up for it. He ruled himself out," said Irvine.
"He told Warren that he feels his body isn't in right shape to complete a tour like this. I admire his honesty and integrity."
Gatland told reporters: "He wasn't available. He said he really appreciated the call but that he was committed to Toulon and would not be able to travel with the squad."
Gatland said he was contacting Wilkinson to include him in the squad.
"I wouldn't have made the call otherwise. But we wanted the whole squad to be able to play in Hong Kong and he couldn't make that commitment.
"He said he was struggling with his body and managing things week to week and I think he'd struggle to get through a seven-week tour."
Despite that, the 33-year-old will hold discussions with Gatland about being among a list of standby players for the tour of Australia.
BBC Sport's Bryn Palmer said: "Lions assistant coach Rob Howley says Gatland has spoken to Jonny Wilkinson about being on stand-by list for Lions.
"Wikinson will be involved in decision as to whether he is put on stand-by once his commitments with Toulon are over."
It is understood that Gatland is eager for the squad to depart on tour together, however, Wilkinson will still be in action for Toulon when the Lions leave for Hong Kong.
The French Top 14 final takes place on the same day as the Lions play the Barbarians in Hong Kong in their opening game on June 1.
Speaking ahead of the squad announcement, Wilkinson urged Gatland to look to youth.
"The Lions is difficult for me because it's not at all that I wouldn't consider it - it would be fabulous," he said after Toulon reached the final of the Heineken Cup with victory over Saracens.
"It's up there with the most amazing experiences you can get in rugby. But I watch guys like Owen Farrell, Toby Flood, Dan Biggar and Jonathan Sexton and it is them who are driving rugby forward.
"Perhaps they should be the ones driving this tour forward as well."
Gatland's squad is made up of 15 Welsh players, 10 from England, nine from Ireland and three from Scotland.
England's representation equals the number who appeared on the 2009 tour of South Africa, and head coach Stuart Lancaster congratulated those selected.
He said: "Being selected by the British & Irish Lions is a major honour and I know the England players named in the squad today will do the jersey proud.
"I'm sure they will contribute a great deal to the tour and coming into a new environment with the best players from Ireland, Scotland and Wales will only enhance their development as players and people.
"Taking on Australia away from home in three Tests is a great challenge but one I know they will relish. Everyone involved in England Rugby will be cheering them on."
