This balance is the most critical thing to a bodybuilder as it helps maintain what is called "positive nitrogen balance". Translation - Muscle Growth. WaxySpeed - High Molecular Weight Carbohydrate and Nutrient Uptake BreakthroughWaxySpeed with Waxy Maize carbohydrate technology dramatically helps the speed at which amino acids from proteins, carbohydrate, creatine and other critical nutrients pass through the stomach, while also increasing the amount that are absorbed. This carbohydrate technology acts like an internal vacuum by pulling many nutrients and water directly into muscle faster than ever. This "vacuum like process" is activated by its high molecular weight and allows your body to absorb much greater amounts at an incredibly faster rate. About Inner ArmourWelcome to Inner Armour, "The Speed of Power", a Parisi Speed School approved Banned Substance Free cutting edge line of sports nutrition products formulated for high school, college and pro athletes that have been tested on real athletes in Parisi Speed Schools across the nation. They thank you sincerely for your interest in Inner Armour supplements and hope that you find their standards well above the norm. There are many challenges in the supplement industry today and things are more confusing than ever for you the consumer. They at Inner Armour have identified those challenges and have provided cutting edge solutions for athletes and bodybuilders that will shape the future of sports nutrition forever. The Challenge:There are millions of high school, college and professional athletes looking for legitimate supplements, training and nutritional answers to help give them an edge that they can trust. Athletes, coaches, trainers and parents are worried and confused about which supplements are actually safe and actually work. In July 2008, a U.S. Olympic swimmer tests positive for a banned substance after taking a nutritional supplement. Several NFL players failed a drug test because of taking a nutritional supplement that was spiked in October of 2008. In March 2008, NFL players sue a sports nutritional company after testing positive for a banned substance. Soon after, the owner of that nutritional company is arrested for running a steroid ring. The Solution:Inner Armour has formed a staff of leading industry professionals, scientists, product developers, trainers and registered dieticians to make up the most powerful nutritional supplement brand in the world - Inner Armour, "The Speed of Power". Inner Armour has also teamed up with and announced an exclusive partnership with Parisi Speed School to become the authority for pro, college and high school athlete's supplementation, training and nutritional needs. "Parisi Speed Schools have trained in excess of 100,000 athletes from ever major sport resulting in more than 115 NFL draft picks (including 2008's #2 pick Chris Long) plus record-breaking Olympic medalists, fearless MMA champions and repeat appearances on ESPN, Fox, NBC and other leading media outlets." The Products:Each Inner Armour product will contain some of the worlds most groundbreaking clinically tested ingredients in the actual amounts in which they were tested, without the use of any banned substances. All products will also bear a "Banned Substance Free" and Parisi Speed School logo. Their supplements and training methods focus on generating greater POWER from working muscles which is defined as the combination of speed x strength. They at Inner Armour focus on the fact that Speed x Strength = POWER because when it comes to performance, POWER is what ultimately defines a great athlete. The Results:Inner Armour supplements and Parisi Speed School training methods produced eye popping results in strength and speed at this years 2009 NFL combine and generated huge excitement amongst the athletes. "We saw dramatic improvements in our athlete's strength, speed and power output while this year's group was by far our most successful group ever. Our athletes were bigger, faster and stronger than ever and Inner Armour supplements played an enormous role in that. The products got a tremendous response from our athletes because they demand to put the absolute best supplements in their bodies. They just didn't know what works and what to trust, but now they do" said Bill Parisi Founder and CEO of Parisi Speed Schools. Inner Armour's CommitmentThank you for taking the time to learn more about Inner Armour, "The Speed of Power". They greatly appreciate you the consumer and are totally committed to bringing you the most effective and respected clinically tested banned substance free supplements the world has to offer.

I'll make this brief:
- Constitution Day was on September 17th.
- All institutions enrolling students who receive federal funding for financial aid must "observe" this day in "some way" by "emphasizing the constitution" on the actual day.
- There is no mandate for "how" we are to "emphasize" the constitution.
- Multnomah University disperses financial aid from the federal government to our students, so our way to "emphasize" is to pray for our country that was founded on the principals laid out in the constitution.
Here's a brief quote from Dr. Dan Lockwood, President:
We've done different things: a panel discussion, a lecture by Dr. Scalberg, etc. . The last two years we have simply asked students who can to gather around the flagpole and pray for our nation...
...I wonder what Reed College does?
Well Dr. Dan, here is what they did last year:
This year, Reed is partnering with Seton Hall University and participating in a simulcast presentation entitled: Interrogation as a Means of Intelligence Gathering.
It's definitely a different approach.

Shame loved his style if he goes to cage warriors they will have bagged a bargain in my opinion.
Retired 2k and out.
right now, you can't lose that many in a row in the UFC and expect to keep your job. Same with Vinny. I like Vinny, but you can't go 1-4 in the UFC.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
Another good fight for Cathal Pendred right there...Win that's and he pretty much should get a call from the UFC.
With Cathal appearing to be close to a UFC call up he may opt for a lower risk bout as well.
If Maguire fights for UCMMA instead, does this sort of kick Safe MMA in the teeth? A high profile fighter (in the UK) opting to fight for a non Safe MMA sanctioned organisation.

Catch up: Christopher Dorner manhunt coverage
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors plans to discuss on Wednesday adding more money to the $1 million reward for information leading to the capture of fugitive ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner.
Board Chairman John J. Benoit called a special 8:30 a.m. meeting to consider adding $100,000 to the reward.
"We are asking alert citizens to turn in any information about this suspect's whereabouts before he kills again," Benoit wrote in a press release.
Wednesday is also the date for slain Riverside police Officer Michael Crain's funeral. Services are set for 10:30 a.m. at Grove Community Church, 19900 Grove Community Drive, Riverside.
Los Angeles police officials this morning said there were no developments overnight Monday in connection with the case.
The search in the San Bernardino Mountains for Dorner continues at 7 a.m. today with 30 sheriff's personnel combing the mountains for any signs of the man, and providing extra patrol to residents in Big Bear Lake.
San Bernardino County sheriff's officials say there have been no sightings of Dorner in the area.

I know these guys came under some fire with how they went about declaring a No Contest for Artem Lobov's original win over Artur Sowinski last time out, but it looks like they're putting on a decent card in Dublin this weekend.
Piotr Hallman is legit and is the main event, taking on Ivica Truscek, who is a real Euro veteran. Ross Pointon fights Mateusz Teodorczuk and Sowinski is back on the bill. He was due to fight David Baron, but Baron got injured.

So 2013, this is happening!
Resolutions are in full force – are you sticking to yours so far?
I took a look back some of my cooking goals for 2012 to see what I actually accomplished.
Making my own yogurt didn't happen, and I definitely need to learn more of my Dad's seafood secrets. But I did make frozen things and, wouldn't you know it, I've made a paella that I'm happy to share with you today.
Please please please tell me you're not on a juice cleanse. Then you wouldn't be able to eat paella with me.
The thought of a juice cleanse brings back memories of my job as an advertising assistant for the most serious of all fashion magazines. Picture irritable, high-powered women in an underfed, over-caffeinated state. Juice and stress and terror go hand in hand in hand in my brain. Just say no.

Top Teams Remain the Same in BCS Standings
Sunday, November 25, 2012
The top nine teams all picked up victories to remain static in the latest BCS Standings, however, significant change was seen below that with 11 ranked teams falling. The top two teams in the final BCS Standings, to be released on Sunday, Dec. 2, will meet in the BCS National Championship game in Miami on Jan. 7. However, in addition to the top two, being ranked in the top 14 is also critical as that allows for qualification to a BCS Bowl as an at-large team. If a champion from a non-automatic qualifying conference is in the top-16 and above a champion from an automatic-qualifier, then that team becomes automatic.

Martin McDonough is a mixed martial artist fighting out of Tillery Combat in Wales under Richard Shaky Shore. He has a record of 9-4 and is on a 3 fight winning streak, all by submission, having defeated the likes of Din Gambatesa and Steve McCombe Cage Warriors 49 and Pain Pit 3 respectively.
On March 9th at The Forum in Kentish Town, London, Martin takes on Alex Enlund in a bout that, in theory, should have a big effect on the bantamweight rankings within the promotion. However, it may well solidify a place within the bantamweight tournament for the title which was announced a few weeks back.
We caught up with the man they call Mr Pink to see how the preparation is going.

Home Visiting with Unlikely Suspects
Jun 19, 2013
This post originally appeared June 11 on the Smart Start Oklahoma Website.
The words "home visiting" probably conjure up images of a helpful professional or paraprofessional in the family's home providing guidance to parents, while also sharing information on how they can obtain helpful social services. This is all true, but you may be surprised to learn that home visiting is also being used in new and different ways to reach young children, particularly those who are vulnerable, in their child care settings outside their homes while their parents go to work.
At the recent Oklahoma Smart Start Conference, we shared our work at CLASP in researching how home visiting programs can partner with "unlikely suspects" -small, home based child care providers, and family, friend and neighbor (FFN) caregivers - to benefit providers, the children they care for, and their families. Home based providers may be isolated and also lack skills and training that allow them to be as effective in their caregiving as they could be. A handful of programs throughout the country have experimented with this strategy, and shown that home visiting in child care settings can be quite helpful for all involved.
We learned from local experts attending the session that partnerships between home visiting programs and home based providers may be particularly useful with families receiving child care assistance in Oklahoma tribal areas, where license-exempt friend and family caregivers are legally allowed to care for children receiving assistance from the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) funds.
Whether or not providers are licensed, they may face isolation, lack of resources and the inability to take time off to attend regular trainings. Home visiting can not only provide children in their care with necessary supports and resources, but also help the child care providers gain knowledge, acquire resources and training and, in some instances, connect with other providers. Our session in Oklahoma helped those in attendance - and us - to think outside the box on how home visiting is administered in the state and also helped us to think about other settings where this approach of visiting care providers may really be useful. We look forward to continuing to explore how visiting with these "unlikely suspects" might be beneficial for many children, families and care providers across the country.

Immersed in the story
With a range of projects continuing to expand the possibilities of 3D, John Hazelton explores the front runners for awards recognition.
It started in 2010, when Avatar and Up got 14 Academy Award nominations between them and were both in the running for the best picture Oscar. A year later, Toy Story 3 was up for the big award (as well as four others) and earlier this year Hugo amassed 11 nominations, including one for best picture.
The run of awards attention for 3D films appears to be a response to a new level of ambition from film-makers using the rejuvenated format. And there is certainly plenty of technological and creative ambition on display in the stereoscopic films that could be in awards contention — and might even have another best picture nominee among them — this year.
In the world of computer animation, 3D is now almost a given, since computer animated films are essentially made in three dimensions anyway and shots can be broken out to work for 3D glasses with relative ease.
So the bigger task for the makers of this year's crop of 3D CG animations — among them Pixar's Brave, Laika's ParaNorman, Aardman's The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists! and Disney's Wreck-It Ralph — was to refine the use of the format from a creative standpoint.
In animation, says Wreck-It Ralph producer Clark Spencer, 3D is "a little more mature than it is in live action". But, he adds: "I still think we're trying to figure out how to do it as elegantly as possible to help the storytelling."
The makers of Wreck-It Ralph worked closely with Disney's resident stereoscopic supervisor Robert Neuman, who, says Spencer, "really understands that 3D should be done from a storytelling standpoint as opposed to a gimmick standpoint. The audience wants to be immersed into a world — they don't want to spend time being taken out of the movie by having things always jumping out at them from the screen."
The work on the film's 'depth script' resulted in deploying less stereoscopic depth in the emotional scenes and gradually increasing the depth as Ralph, an old-school video-game villain, ventures into more and more advanced games.
"Those are the big action scenes where you can really enjoy the depth," says Spencer, "because it's not as character-driven, it's more about enjoying that environment."
In the live action arena there are more options for employing 3D and more variations in technology and creative approach.
After effects
Converting a film into 3D after shooting in 2D is a move that sometimes draws criticism, but it is an option that some film-makers still prefer to take and one that can lead to impressive work.
Disney's Marvel Studios, for example, converts most of its films (working with specialist company Stereo D) and on this year's Marvel's The Avengers it was reportedly director Joss Whedon who opted to shoot in 2D to give himself more freedom of movement on set.
The Avengers executive producer Victoria Alonso (also Marvel's EVP of visual effects and post production) says advances in conversion technology are "like the sharpening of a knife. Before, it took an incredible amount of time and it was sort of sharp. Now it takes half the time and the precision is remarkable."
Live action film-makers who choose to actually shoot in 3D face more technological challenges but sometimes find that the creative benefits are worth it.
With Fox's Life Of Pi, says director Ang Lee in the film's production notes, "I wanted the experience of the film to be as unique as Yann Martel's book [the basis for David Magee's screenplay] and that meant creating the film in another dimension. 3D is a new cinematic language and in Life Of Pi it's just as much about immersing audiences in the characters' emotional space as it is about the epic scale and adventure."
Lee ended up delivering impressive 3D scenes including a massive sea storm, an hallucinatory dive into the ocean and a frightening animal fight. In 2D, Lee noted at a recent Bafta event, the latter would have been "a very different scene. You wouldn't feel you are in the middle of a fight."
In the cases of two recent 3D films, meeting the technological challenges led directly to the creative benefits.
On Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man, the film-makers wanted to use 3D not just to boost the excitement during action scenes but also to increase the intimacy during emotional moments.
The film was the first to shoot in 3D using Red Epic digital cameras mounted on the latest rigs from equipment company 3ality. With their larger format sensors, the cameras made it easier to align the two optical paths used in native 3D photography. And the rigs' feedback system for monitoring optical path alignment helped speed up the shooting process.
But the big advantage, according to Rob Engle, 3D visual effects supervisor at Sony Imageworks, which did most of the film's effects work, was that the equipment allowed the film-makers almost as much ease of movement as they would have had shooting in 2D.
"3D rigs are getting smaller and smaller and thus are able to mimic some of the fluidity that we had [before 3D]," Engle says. "Because the rigs are lighter the camera people can move the cameras a lot more easily and thus the actors can be a lot more free in their movements."
On Warner's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey the film-makers were also using Red Epic cameras and 3ality rigs — 48 cameras on 17 rigs, to be precise — but their task was complicated by the fact that the film was shot at 48 frames per second rather than the traditional 24.
The equipment set-up allowed director Peter Jackson and his crew to monitor and adjust the 3D effect while they were shooting a scene and also, by mounting a pair of cameras on a hand-held rig, to shoot in the tight spaces of the film's Hobbit-size sets.
"Mobile camera work has always been very important for the films that I've made," says Jackson in one of his video blogs from the New Zealand set of The Hobbit, "and the last thing I wanted to do when we went to 3D was to restrict or change the shooting style."
Combining the higher image resolution of 48fps with 3D, Jackson goes on, enhanced the impact of scenes such as the film's almost psychedelic excursion into the story's Mirkwood forest: "Once you add stereo and it gives you that extra ability to control depth you can devise ways in which it can become part of the storytelling of the film."
The enthusiasm of US audiences for 3D films appears recently to have dipped: whereas Avatar earned 83% of its domestic gross from 3D screenings only 32% of the opening weekend audience for this summer's Brave, for example, chose to pay a premium to see the film in an extra dimension.
But audiences outside the US are still flocking to 3D screenings and the international demand looks strong enough to keep the Hollywood studios investing in stereoscopic projects and technology.
The investment could lead to a wider range of 3D films being produced, which in turn could pique the interest of awards voters, who appear to be increasingly receptive to the format, especially when it is adopted by prestigious film-makers in the service of artistically ambitious films.
And if the voters' interest is maintained it might not be long before Hollywood welcomes its first 3D best picture Oscar winner.
An added dimension
Innovating with 3D was a key discussion point at Belgium's recent 3D Stereo Media event. Ian Sandwell reports
"We are at an absolutely critical juncture now where there needs to be support if the 3D medium is to be taken seriously as a mass medium," Anthony Geffen, CEO and executive producer of UK-based factual production
company Atlantic Productions, told Screen at the 3D Stereo Media (3DSM), which ran Dec 3-6 in Liege, Belgium. "What we desperately need is a lot of very innovative films showing why 3D is unique."
Holding its fourth edition in 2012, 3DSM is organised by Image&3D Europe and attracted a range of 3D experts. These included Chuck Comisky of Chromium Labs 3D, who was one of the keynote speakers alongside the likes of Walt Disney Animation Studios' Robert Neuman, and True Image Company's Buzz Hays. Comisky, who worked with James Cameron on films such as Ghosts Of The Abyss and Avatar, spoke of considering 3D right from the origin of a production. "Even if a production is going to know in advance that they're going to convert, they should shoot that 2D picture with the 3D in mind," Comisky noted. "It really depends on composition, lighting and myriad other things. If you're going to make a photographically good movie, it's probably going to work in 3D."
Alongside the decline in 3D box office, 3D film-makers have some notable obstacles in their way. "The future depends on the technology. My DoP always says this is still a science project: the technology is not quite there yet to be able to make it transparent," said Ben Stassen, founder of nWave and director of projects such as A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures and the upcoming African Safari 3D, which received its world premiere at 3DSM.
This year saw the second edition of 3DSM's 3D Film Mart, with 20 projects pitched in contention for the $3,899 (€3,000) prize. Italy-France co-production Calcio Storico, from Cow Prod (which also screened Ride & Fly at this year's 3DSM, a project that was pitched at last year's market), scooped the top award. "We want to have a good overall energy around this market and we want people to know that here, you can find your partners because you have the support of the right people to help you develop your movie," said Pierre Collin, executive manager of TWIST, a co-organiser of the market alongside peacefulfish.

View: 9th Circuit court of appeals' opinion
CLAREMONT -- City leaders are fighting the release of convicted serial rapist Christopher Hubbart into the city or other areas of Los Angeles County.
A date has not been set for Hubbart's release, and a city where he'll live hasn't been determined, police said.
But he could be released to Claremont because he used to live there with his family.
"Releasing Mr. Hubbart to a college community such as Claremont is not in the best interest of our residents or the community as a whole," said Claremont City Manager Tony Ramos.
Hubbart was granted a conditional release from custody by Santa Clara County Judge Gilbert Brown in May. Hubbart is incarcerated at Coalinga State Mental Health Hospital. The earliest he could be released is around November, officials said.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey has already requested the courts stop moving forward on Hubbart's release until it is determined where he will live. Lacey, in court documents, argued that Hubbart last lived in Santa Clara County before he was last incarcerated.
A letter dated Thursday from Claremont Mayor Opanyi Nasiali and Ramos to Brown also voiced opposition to Hubbart's release in Southern California.
"Why would the trial court rule that Mr. Hubbart should be released to Los Angeles County when the last time he was in Claremont was over ten years ago and he was only here for two months!" the letter said.
Hubbart has admitted to authorities he has raped nearly 40 women throughout the state between 1971 and 1983.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit found in 2004 that Hubbart's claim for federal habeas corpus relief was meritless but not moot.
Claremont police said Hubbart's stepfather and mother lived in an unincorporated area near Claremont, but have since died and Hubbart has no other ties to the city.
Police say when a final decision is made as to where Hubbart will live, the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over that area will be notified at least 30 days before release.
But until a decision is made, city and police officials say they plan to keep a close eye on the case.
Also monitoring the case is Betty Crocker, leader of the Claremont community group Keeping the Good in the Neighborhood.
She contacted to city leaders after reading about the case in the newspaper.
"I was in shock," she said. "I was numb."
The Neighborhood Watch group plans to work with the city if the courts decide Hubbart's home will be Claremont. She said action could come in the form of door-to-door signature gathering or protests.
"We should not be standing by just watching things happen," Crocker said.

Post subject: Hiding a New Cache
I have never hidden a cache. So, I have been thinking about hidding one however I do not know what the best way is to do that. What is the best way to make sure that I am not to close to any other caches in the area?
The only way that I can think would be to load local caches in the area into my GPS and then add the waypoint that I want. Then see where it is compared to the other caches.
Is there a map or program that I am missing on the Geocaching site that I can see the other caches and add the point to see where the cache I want to hide is compared to the others?
Thanks, PolarOne

Polarone, Try this, it might help a lot. Download Googleearth from your GC personal page ("My Account Details"). This program allows you to zoom into any area you want down to street level. It also shows where the geocaches are on the satellite photo too.

Usually the geocache locations shown in Google Earth are way off, at least for me. Still, they usually help me get an idea of what geocaches are in the area. Sometimes I enter the exact coordinates into Google Earth and then measure distances to see if there's room for another cache.
I also load neighboring caches into the GPS and then use that when looking for hiding spots to see if I'm far enough away. When I find a good spot, I look for nearby caches and it tells me how far I am from the nearest one.

PolarOne, I usually try to have all the other geocaches in the area in my GPS when I go to hide one. I wander around for a while and make sure nothing is within .10 and place the cache.
I do something like what Gilby suggests with maps (I don't use Google Earth though) and check out locations basd on topo and other maps to see if a possible area might be more fun than others
Good luck w/the hide!
Sad state of affairs.

Also be aware of multi-caches and puzzle caches in the area. Unless you have already found them, you won't know where all of the stages are and they could effect your cache placement.

Post subject: Still trying...
We are new to this. Me, my ten year-old son and my seven year-old daughter are the 'we'. We didn't realize all the effort it was going to take to place a cache. We have tried to place a cache in two different places and had them both temporarily disabled.
While it's comforting to know that there are rules and regulations to follow, to keep the great state of Minnesota and it's people safe from potential harm, it's deeply aggravating as well. When we placed it the latest time, our GPS didn't read the two closest hides. We also didn't realize at the time, that we needed to ask permission from the city. When we did ask permission from the city, and moved it, we were still too close to the next cache. We don't have an expensive GPS and no one sitting at home to call to enter the coordinates online to help us place it 528 feet from another cache. I am getting disenchanted with the prospect of placing a cache. Any new suggestions, since the latest were given almost four years ago to the day?

The days of going out and hiding a cache, assuming there are no others hidden nearby are long gone. It is essential that you know where all the nearby caches are hidden before hiding your own.
Once you have coordinates for your proposed hide, create the cache listing. Before you submit it, click on the "find all nearby caches" link on your cache page. If anything shows up less than 528 feet, your chance of getting it published are close to zero.
Of course you can still be tripped up by a puzzle or multi-cache that isn't at its posted coordinates.
It is also important that you know about the restrictions placed on geocaching by various parks departments and land managers. Unfortunately, more and more agencies are adopting them. I keep a list of known issues at
. The MnGCA keeps a similar list on their site.

When I get the hiding bug, I generally have an idea where I want to place stuff, and will look over the gc.com maps first to get a feel for space and availibility. Also double check to see if any particular restrictions are in place or rules that need following (see surfer joe's list or MNGCA list). Then I load up all caches in that paticular area, active and "disabled" as well as any solved puzzles (assuming I can solve them
) into my gpsr and then head out with my bag of containers.
When hiding, I typically get to the area I am looking at and stroll around looking for a nice spot to stash the cache, and then double check the gpsr to make sure there are not any caches within the distance I am hoping to make the hide.
Puzzles unsolved can trip me up if I get to close but that is just part of the game...

I do precisely the same thing. Though I admit that my days of hiding caches in the metro are probably over. Too saturated. All of my new hides in rural settings and I more or less know where everything is, even if I haven't yet found them.

Don't be discouraged! The easiest thing to do is load all the nearby caches into your gps and when you find a good spot to hide a cache, make sure that all caches in your gps are .1 or farther away from you.
Then, like Surfer Joe said, double check before you submit the cache by clicking the link near the bottom of your cache page to make sure the coordinates are .1 or more away from other caches.
* ...other caches hidden or found by this user
* ...nearby caches of this type, that I haven't found
* ...[b]all nearby caches[/b], that I haven't found
* ...all nearby waymarks on Waymarking.com
Of course, your cache won't show up when you do this because it is not published yet and puzzles or multis won't show up either but it will tell you the nearest cache to yours.
One important thing is to always use your gps to get your coordinates. Some make the mistake of trying to use Google maps to get coordinates and it usually only leads to frustration for you and the people trying to find your cache.
So just remember that everyone who hides caches goes through this and once you get the first few hidden, it will come easier. You can always ask for more help on the forum if needed.

I agree with the suggestions above, and something to remember is that the metro areas, be it the twin cities, Duluth, Rochester, etc, are generally very cache dense. So when hiding in a more populated area, the odds of there already being a cache where you think is a good spot is high. But as stated we all have this issue, so don't be discouraged. It just means you can't be like KB and slingshot film containers out your car window as you drive anymore.

The geocaching.com site lists helpful info in detail but a couple of points worth emphasizing:
If you are really new at the game, try finding a variety of different caches (type/difficulty/terrain/container) so you can see what makes a good hide before you take the plunge.
Check the county GIS sites to make sure you aren't tresspassing on private property. There are links here at MNGCA.
Make sure your GPSr has been on awhile and has a good accuracy reading before marking your coordinates.
Please take several readings to double check the coordinates before submitting your cache.

These are all good suggestions with looking at the maps -- since I have an iphone I can also do this in the field which is nice.
What can be frustrating still is the multis and the puzzle caches. You pretty much need to find all of these in a park if you want to hide there and then guesstimate and/or mark waypoints on them to make sure you are not too close to any of the stages since those don't display accurately on the maps. When puzzle hides have the "real" location in a different park 2-3 miles away -- that adds to the difficulty. I appreciate when puzzle hiders have their dummy coords in the same park. : ) Or when they put their finals in otherwise "useless" small nooks of nature like pfalstad often does.

They are both good phones but nothing beats the apple app store until android can up there game on there app store the iPhone will always be a better choice....
Hey Samsung, is your phone on the latest Android? Oh NOPE.
Do you have cool apps or iTunes? NOPE
Siri? NOPE
AirPrint? NOPE
iCloud? Nope
I could go on....but we all know its a plastic knock off.
Ive had numerous iphones at the min ive got 4s. Ive had a htc desire and galaxy s. they are nothing compared 2 an iphone. + iphone is even better when jailbroken. Ther will never be a phone again that has achived so mutch and made sutch history. Iphone all the way ; )
Airprint - I think you will find most android phones are compatible with most wifi printers. Unlike the selected few that you can use with apple with no additional apps.
Icloud...... Please read up on android.
I could also add. Notification centre. Hmmmm wonder where apple got that idea.
I am not an android fan boy for one minute. But I did trade in my I-phone in when the 4s got released. I still own an ipad and an I-mac. Just making a point here that really the only thing apple has really created from their own ideas is Siri on the 4s. Just my opinion.
I think the commercials are funny trying to convince iPhone users to switch. Tiny features like that wouldn't make me want to get an Android phone. That OS actually is still confusing to me let alone there's a lot of malware on Android OS.
Jailbroken iPhones are the way to go.
Oh, on a side not because it's a pet peeve djfrantik it's not I-whatever the Apple product is, it's lowercase iwhatever the Apple product is.
P.S. I think that the best option is to use the iPhone and get a Android tablet like the Transformer Prime instead of the iPad to take advantage of both worlds.
Its a far superior phone compared to the 4S
Its had all those features and more for ages. Just coz its not called Siri doens't mean it cant do the exact same thing or better.
I saw the Samsung Galaxy II a year before the 4S came out doing voice stuff. My brother wrote a SMS and send it to me all via voice. and thats standard.
It's got so many features as standard or free that Apple refuse to add or you have to pay for on the iPhone.
Dont forget the android market is a few years younger than the app store. Give it more time and you will see the same ammount of GOOD apps in both. I think the Android Market will have MORE GOOD apps than the pathetic ones in the App store soon. Just coz the App Store has more apps doesn't mean they are any good.
I've got 3 iPhones and an iPad but I really dont want another iPhone. I will be looking at the next Samsung or a Windows phone as my next replacement.
1 example why Android is so much better and easier than iPhone.
How do you jailbreak an android? Tick the box.
How do you jailbreak an iPHone? Wait for someone to find an exploit then make a patch then put it together then release it then tether it to the PC then eventually wait for an untether then wait some more then eventually after months of waiting you finally get to jailbreak. By then you forgot why you wanted to jailbreak in the first place as it took so long.
Android jailbreak = 1 second
iPhone jailbreak = 4 months.
Now tell me the iphone is better than Android WHY?
yeah but if u couldnt jailbreak a iphone or jailbreak a android which one would u rather have just stock hhhhmmm i think that if i couldnt jailbreak my iphone it would be the most boring thing ever.......dude its basically the same ui since forever cmon man i couldnt live with it
[QUOTE=ipodtouchman77;6375714]I don't want to start an argument, but there are actually tons of printing apps in the app store that will let you use almost any wifi printer. Just letting you know.

I type this from my iPad but as for phones I have to go with my galaxy s 2. When the galaxy note gets to AT&T I'm there. iPhone too damn small can't do business on it. Is it so hard to make a iPhone pro with a 4.5 screen so a man can get some business done

Simply put, an array is a terrible data structure for building arrays. But, I can appreciate the need for mutation and if a particular array building algorithm can't be performed on appender, then appender has failed. Would exposing a bidirectional array be sufficient for your usages? A random access range?

Jesse McCartney Talks New Album, Sound and Tour
Jesse McCartney came by to discuss his upcoming album, Technicolor set to be released July 22. Recently, he released a video for the single "Superbad" off the album. He discusses the visual behind the video and explains how everyone is comparing it to The Great Gatsby and any other film Leonardo Dicaprio has starred in over the past 15 years. He goes on to say this album is one of his proudest.
Stating, "…I set out to make a record that was sort of a reflection of what I grew up listening to as a kid, which was a lot of 60's, 70's and 80's music…it really is my proudest musical accomplishment. I'm really excited about this record and I feel like it really represents where I am musically at my age right now so I'm really proud of it."
Jesse goes into detail about the albums writing process and knowing exactly what he wanted for this album. He hints at a possible tour this summer and to check for dates coming real soon. Jesse also will be featured on a new comedy sitcom, Young & Hungry on ABC Family.

Detailed Description:
Disruptive behavior disorders among children and adolescents are readily diagnosed; however, few individuals with such disorders receive drug treatment. Depakote is a mood stabilizing medication that may be beneficial in treating individuals with disruptive behavior disorders. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of Depakote in reducing temper outbursts and improving mood in individuals with disruptive behavior disorders. In addition, this study will determine the safety and effectiveness of Depakote in treating individuals with substance disorders who also have disruptive behavior disorders.
This study will last 6 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive treatment with Depakote or placebo. Medication will be given in a single evening dose if tolerated; otherwise, medication will be given twice per day. Participants will be assigned to a fixed-flexible dosing schedule and dosages will increase based on weight. All participants will attend weekly psychotherapy and family counseling sessions throughout the study. Participants who are substance abusers will also receive substance abuse counseling. Weekly study visits will include a physical exam, blood collection, and drug tests. Teachers and guidance counselors will be contacted to assess the participant's behavior from week to week. Some participants will complete a follow-up study, in which they will take part in phone interviews.

"Our life evokes our character."
-Joseph Campbell in The Power of Myth
Heroes face a problem and succeed in coming to terms with it. Their ability to sacrifice themselves for the greater good has inspired great works of art, both visual and literary. Contemporary Latino heroes, including César Chávez, Sandra Cisneros, and Frida Kahlo, are the subject of artworks in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Studying the hero's journey through the eyes of artists provides an opportunity for students to understand what it takes to be a hero themselves.
In this lesson, students study the different ways that artists represent cultural heroes. They then design a poster honoring their own heroes—a replacement for the usual posters of athletes and musicians that hang in their bedrooms.

The Phillies signed Durbin to a one-year deal with a club option for 2014. Durbin's base salary in 2013 will be $1.1-million with an additional $350,000 available in incentives.
Last season, Durbin had signed with the Washington Nationals prior to the season, but was granted free agency at the end of spring training. The Atlanta Braves quickly signed Durbin and he went on to appear in a career-high 76 games for Atlanta with a 4-1 record and a 3.10 ERA and one save.
Since leaving Philadelphia as a free agent following the 2010 season, Durbin has pitched for Cleveland and Atlanta. In Durbins three seasons with the Phillies, he was a combined 11-7 with a 3.62 ERA and three saves.
For his career, Durbin has pitched with Kansas City, Cleveland (twice), Arizona, Detroit and is now making his second stop with the Phillies. He's pitched in 440 major league games, with 75 starts, compiling a 42-47 record and a 4.95 ERA.

I started this blog on a whim. I had no idea what would develop out of it or where I would be in a year. Really, I didn't even think I'd last a year on here.
See, I'm a "two-eeker". As in I only keep to things for two weeks and then I usually get bored.
Exercise? Two weeks.
Eating Healthy? Two weeks later I'm eating Twinkies!
Journal everyday? Two weeks is an accomplishment.
You get the picture.
So now a year later into this bloggy adventure and I am floored! I am still doing this.
When you think of "Cover to Cover...and Everything in Between", how would you describe it? What makes you come back, you wonderful loyal readers?
I'm not fishing for compliments but I kinda need your help with this.
Because, that's why!
No, for reals - both of those posts eluded to one certain fact:
And, also I'm asking this because I'm going to the Elevate Blog Conference in June and I know I'm going to be asked about my blog. How do I know this?
- First, duh! it's a blog conference - that's what everyone will be talking about.
- Second, last time I went to bloggy thing, other bloggers asked, and what did I do? I stood there with a blank expression on my face. {I pretty much just said, "um, I just blog." WRONG ANSWER!}
I needed to see them and absorb them (thanks Live Laugh Rowe & A Beautiful Mess!!)
After a year of blogging, I still question myself about what I'm doing here. I know, first and foremost, I just enjoy the ride...
{I have a feeling I'm going to be on this ride and you'll be coming aloing with me. Because if I have all these questions, I'm sure you do too, right? We'll help each other, I promise.}
...but maybe I should figure out the destination?
Yeah, so that's why I didn't sleep much last night.
Good Grief.

I'm having similar problems. Also, when I am connected to a network or using Airodump-ng my adapter will disconnect or stop monitoring after a short time. Anywhere from 1 minute in to 40 minutes in.
Looks like it's dhclient causing my problems too. Is it possible to remove dhclient or stop it from running all of the time? I've tried killing it off - but it just keeps running, so I assume something else is using it.

BROOKLYN PARK, MN -- The Minnesota Operators of Music and Amusements will host its 2013 summer conference at Chase on the Lake, nestled on the shores of Leech Lake in the center of Walker, MN. Chase of the Lake is a five star resort.
The conference takes place June 5-6 (Wednesday-Thursday), but MOMA executive director Chuck Leininger Sr. recommends that participants arrive a day or two earlier to take advantage of the offerings of the five-star resort in northern Minnesota.
"The fishing is great on Leech Lake, and there are guides that will take you out and fill your limit," Leininger said. "If you want to get in a round of golf, the two local courses are Tianna and Long Bow. The shops in Walker are quaint and the values are there. And you could try your luck at a casino just five minutes away from the resort."
MOMA's Chase on the Lake accommodations include lake-view rooms for $109 and two-bedroom condos for $189. Leininger said these special rates won't last long and advises industry members to make reservations soon. To book a room, call the resort at (218) 547-7777. For information about the conference, call Leininger at (612) 363-2894.

MOMA was founded in 1967 as the Music Operators of Minnesota. The association added "amusements" to its name in 1984 to reflect all coin- and currency-activated equipment that its members operate. MOMA sponsors leagues and tournaments for dart machines and pool tables. It began a scholarship fund in 1991; last year, MOMA awarded four $1,000 scholarships.

Winter Getaway Guide
A little good old-fashioned fur along the edge of your nylon jacket's hood will catch snow as it falls and hugely improve visibility. This comes in handy when climbing mountains. Or, you know, shoveling driveways. Either, really.
Nylon-and-down parka ($4,800) by Louis Vuitton; cotton-corduroy trousers ($456) by Etro; nylon-and-leather gloves ($140) by Mountain Hardwear; goggles ($100) by Anon.
Wool is warm as hell and comes from nature. Nylon, also sometimes known as polyamide, is incredibly strong and made by man. Combine the two in a blended cloth and you get the best of both worlds.

A half second later I felt as if scores of white hot branding irons were suddenly pressed against my skin.
Downtown darling Vena Cava showed off a structured collection, full of modern lines and alluring glimpses of skin.
The audience could almost smell the stale beer and cigarette smoke leaching from their skin.
Waists have been whittled, skin lightened, and breasts enhanced to ridiculous proportions.

It is a rainy day, and I got wet to the skin and thoroughly chilled.
They were covered with yellow mud, and of course they were wet to the skin.
So thick is the skin, that a bayonet is almost the only weapon which can pierce it.
The Indian woman brought him the mocassins with the remainder of the skin.

c.1200, "animal hide" (usually dressed and tanned), from Old Norse skinn "animal hide, fur," from Proto-Germanic *skintha- (cf. Old English scinn (rare), Old High German scinten, German schinden "to flay, skin;" German dialectal schind "skin of a fruit," Flemish schinde "bark"), from PIE *sken- "to cut off" (cf. Breton scant "scale of a fish," Irish scainim "I tear, I burst"), from root *sek- "to cut" (see section (n.)).
Ful of fleissche Y was to fele, Now ... Me is lefte But skyn & boon. [hymn, c.1430]The usual Anglo-Saxon word is hide (n.1). Meaning "epidermis of a living animal or person" is attested from early 14c.; extended to fruits, vegetables, etc. late 14c. Jazz slang sense of "drum" is from 1927. Meaning "a skinhead" is from 1970. As an adjective, it formerly had a slang sense of "cheating" (1868); sense of "pornographic" is attested from 1968. Skin deep is first attested in this:
All the carnall beauty of my wife, Is but skin-deep. [Sir Thomas Overbury, "A Wife," 1613; the poem was a main motive for his murder]The skin of one's teeth as the narrowest of margins is attested from 1550s in the Geneva Bible literal translation of the Hebrew text in Job xix:20. To get under (someone's) skin "annoy" is from 1896. Skin-graft is from 1871. Skin merchant "recruiting officer" is from 1792.
late 14c., "to remove the skin from" (originally of circumcision), from skin (n.). As "to have (a particular kind of) skin" from c.1400. In 19c.

skin (skĭn)

To bruise, cut, or injure the skin of.
The outer covering of a vertebrate animal, consisting of two layers of cells, a thick inner layer (the dermis) and a thin outer layer (the epidermis). Structures such as hair, scales, or feathers are contained in the skin, as are fat cells, sweat glands, and sensory receptors. Skin provides a protective barrier against disease-causing microorganisms and against the sun's ultraviolet rays. In warm-blooded animals, it aids in temperature regulation, as by insulating against the cold.
The external tissue that covers the body. As the body's largest organ (it makes up about one twenty-fifth of an adult's weight), the skin serves as a waterproof covering that helps keep out pathogens and protects against temperature extremes and sunlight. The skin also contains special nerve endings that respond to touch, pressure, heat, and cold. The skin has an outer layer, or epidermis, and a layer immediately below, called the dermis.
