5 Tips for Off-Roading Safely June 15, 2015
Off-roading is one of those things that can be started without too much experience, but can quickly become dangerous and costly. Inexperience with driving off-road can lead to damage to your truck as well as injuries to yourself, which are fairly hard to treat when you're miles from the nearest ER.
To help you out, we've collected five tips for off-roading safely. From knowing your truck to keeping a proper pace, this is a great list to get you started with off-roading safely.
1. Know Your Truck
First things first, you should know your truck front to back. You should know what your turning radius is, be able to back up without issue, and simply know what your truck can and cannot do.
This only comes from experience, so get to know your truck ON the road before you try to take it OFF the road.
2. Have a Buddy
Just like those days back in the third grade on a field trip, when off-roading you need to use the buddy system. Ideally this means you should have someone else with a truck off-roading with you but someone in your truck is good, too.
Having a second truck with you means you can be towed out if you get stuck, and if you get hurt there's someone that can go for help. Off-roading alone is dangerous and honestly, not that fun. Get a buddy and be safe.
3. Have a Tow Strap, and Know How to Use It
Speaking of having a buddy, you should always carry a set of tow straps with you and know how to use them. Top straps can safely recover your truck after getting stuck, can help un-roll a wrong-side-up truck, and can help do these things to your friend's truck, too.
When choosing a set of tow straps make sure to get the kind WITHOUT a built-in hook. The ends should be stitched over on themselves to create loops. This makes them safer and wear less. Never use a chain or anything not rated for towing and you're set to go.
4. Slow and Steady
There's a time and place for driving fast, and the trail isn't one of them. Unless you own a trophy truck or a rally car, the trail is best taken at a slow and steady speed.
Sure, going fast is fun, but navigating your truck over a pile of rocks in the trail, or fording that stream will give you the same adrenaline rush, just without the risk of hurting your truck or yourself. Keep it slow and keep your truck in one piece.
5. Obstacle Height Matters
One of the most fun parts of off-roading is driving over things. Whether it's rocks, logs, or crests of hills, driving over things is fun. With this fun though comes a need for safety, too. Before driving over an obstacle you need to make sure your truck can make it over the item.
Make sure to take into account any ruts in the trail, as these will reduce your overall ground clearance. Check for transmission lines and brake lines to verify they're not hanging down. Finally, pull up to the obstacle and check your clearance before heading over.

By Ken Shepherd | December 18, 2012 3:35 PM EST
So our good friend Dan Joseph of our sister site MRCTV.org stopped by a pro-gun control demonstration in Washington, D.C., yesterday. As you might expect, he found some pretty dopey people spouting pretty dopey platitudes. The money shot, however, is at the tail end, where a helmet-haired bozo -- who earlier stepped on threatened to step on Joseph's foot cast, by the way -- admits that if you ban semiautomatic handguns that criminals will still get them, in which case, if you're a crime victim, "you're f***ed."

The Old Dressage Horse - Poem by Francis Duggan
Of the reaper's scythe he does not feel aware
The old dressage horse in the paddock over there
His kind owner calls to see him every day
To make sure his water trough is full and feed him oats and hay.
When he was younger a decade ago
He won first prize at many the horse show
At dressage events the favourite of the crowd
He done himself and his female owner rider proud.
For service rendered to her in kindness him she repay
They shared great moments in his glory day
In his marvellous prime he was a lovely bay
Around his muzzle now he is looking gray.
The biological clock it ever ticks away
And like all humans all horses have their day
But his ever grateful owner to him a devoted friend
And she will care for him until his end.

Hey everybody!
I have been sitting on the darn fence contemplating whether I should get a Cottage Food Permit in order to sell my cookies and cakes to the public; so far I have been successful with family and friends, so I am thinking to branch out….for some reason, I cannot get my thumb out of my rear and buckle down to start the process!! I have done lots of research and considered all the ins and outs, goods and bads, etc., so I am aware of what is in store—that's not the problem….maybe I'm afraid of failure….. or success..?? Is anybody else out there in RoseLand in the same boat????? Help!!!

Alfalfa weevils are hatching
Degree day information indicates that alfalfa weevil larvae should be hatching throughout central and southern Iowa. The snow of April 16 may have frozen some of the larvae, but there are always some larvae that survive these adverse environmental conditions. Proper management of this insect will require timely scouting, correct identification, determining population levels, and if necessary, cultural or chemical control.
Why should fields be scouted for alfalfa weevils?
Alfalfa weevil can be very destructive to first cutting alfalfa. They remove leaf tissue, beginning with the new leaves in the top of the plant, then work down the stem to other leaves. Their feeding reduces forage quality and quantity.
When should scouting begin?
Larvae begin hatching at approximately 200 degree days in fields south of I-80, and 250 degree days in fields north of this highway. The Iowa map shows the accumulated degree days across the nine crop reporting districts. Scouting can begin after the appropriate number of degree days has accumulated in your area.
Where should you start scouting?
Begin on south-facing hillsides. Larvae will hatch here first because these areas warm up quicker than northern hillsides.
How do you scout for alfalfa weevil larvae?
Save some time by using a sweep net to quickly and easily determine if larvae have hatched in your field. If larvae are found in the net, then collect 30 stems and look for larvae in the upper leaves. When collecting stems, do not break them too hard or you will knock off larvae still on the plant. The best way to collect the most larvae is to grab the tip of the plant with one hand and break the base of the stem with the other hand, or cut it with a knife. Place stems inside a white, 5-gallon bucket and beat them against the side. Large larvae will dislodge and can be counted easily, but newly developing leaves must be pulled apart to find very small, newly hatched larvae hidden in the plant tip.
What do alfalfa weevil larvae look like?
They have a very dark head, almost black, and are pale green with a white stripe down the back. They are about 1é16 of an inch in length when they hatch and may be light yellow. After feeding for several days, they turn green. They are 5é16 inch in length when full grown.
Are there any other insects that look like alfalfa weevil larvae?
Yes. Larvae of the clover leaf weevil look very similar, but are larger, have a light brown head, and often have the white stripe edged with pink. Clover leaf weevil larvae usually hide around the base of the plant during the day and feed mostly in lower leaves at night. They rarely cause economic yield losses and should not be counted as part of the alfalfa weevil sample.
When should alfalfa weevils be controlled?
If two or more larvae are found per stem, and 40 percent of the stems show any leaf feeding, the best option is to cut the hay within 5 days, if possible. This method of cultural control avoids the use of insecticides. If the crop is not mature enough to cut, then chemical control may be an option, depending on the economic thresholds.
What are the economic thresholds for chemical control?
New economic thresholds have been developed by University of Nebraska entomologists. These thresholds are for alfalfa at the early bud stage, when third- and fourth-stage larvae do 90 percent of the damage. To use the economic threshold chart, first determine the control costs in dollars per acre, then estimate the forage value in dollars per ton. Where these two values intersect (Table 1) is the average number of alfalfa weevil larvae per stem needed to justify chemical control. For example, if control cost is $10 per acre and forage value is $75 dollars per ton, then an average of 3.4 larvae per stem would be needed to justify chemical management (Table 1).
What if the weevil count is below the economic threshold?
Resample the field in 3 to 5 days. Chemical management may be needed then, or possibly the crop may have reached a stage where it can be cut.
What chemicals are labeled for alfalfa weevils?
Several chemicals that can be used for alfalfa weevil control are shown in Table 2. Read and follow all label directions before using any insecticide.
Table 1. Economic thresholds for alfalfa weevil larvae in early bud stage alfalfa (average number of larvae per stem).
Table 2. Insecticides labeled for alfalfa weevil.

Returns information about the server applications in use in your organization. Server applications are applications that are hosted by Microsoft Lync Server 2010.
Server applications refer to the individual programs that run under Lync Server 2010. The Get-CsServerApplication cmdlet provides a way for administrators to return information about any (or all) of the applications running as part of Lync Server.
Who can run this cmdlet: By default, members of the following groups are authorized to run the Get-CsServerApplication cmdlet locally: RTCUniversalUserAdmins, RTCUniversalServerAdmins. To return a list of all the role-based access control (RBAC) roles this cmdlet has been assigned to (including any custom RBAC roles you have created yourself), run the following command from the Windows PowerShell prompt:
Get-CsAdminRole | Where-Object {$_.Cmdlets –match "Get-CsServerApplication"}
Xds Identity
Unique identifier for the server application to be retrieved. Server application Identities are composed of the service where the application is hosted plus the application name. For example, the server application named QoEAgent might have an Identity similar to this: service: Registrar:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com/QoEAgent.
To retrieve a collection of all the applications running on a given service, simply leave off the application name:
-Identity "Registrar:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com "
If this parameter is omitted, then all the server applications will be returned when you call Get-CsServerApplication.
Enables you to use wildcards when returning a server application or set of server applications. For example, to return all the server applications that have the string value "IIMFilter" somewhere in their Identity use this syntax: -Filter "*IIMFilter*".
Switch Parameter
Retrieves the server application data from the local replica of the Central Management store rather than from the Central Management store itself.
None. Get-CsServerApplication does not accept pipelined input.
Get-CsServerApplication returns instances of the Microsoft.Rtc.Management.WritableConfig.Settings.ServerApplication.Application object.
-------------------------- Example 1 ------------------------
The command shown in Example 1 returns information about all the server applications currently in use in the organization. This is done by calling Get-CsServerApplication without any parameters.
-------------------------- Example 2 ------------------------
Get-CsServerApplication -Identity "service:EdgeServer:atl-edge-001.litwareinc.com"
In Example 2, information is returned for all the server applications running on the service EdgeServer:atl-edge-001.litwareinc.com.
-------------------------- Example 3 ------------------------
Get-CsServerApplication -Identity "service:Registrar:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com/ExumRouting"
Example 3 returns information for a single server application: the application that has the Identity Registrar:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com/ExumRouting".
-------------------------- Example 4 ------------------------
Get-CsServerApplication -Filter "service:*:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com*"
The preceding command returns all the server applications configured for use in the pool atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com. This is done by using the Filter parameter and the filter value "service:*:atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com*". The filter value limits the returned data to applications that have an Identity that begins with the characters "service:" and includes the characters ":atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com".
-------------------------- Example 5 ------------------------
Get-CsServerApplication | Where-Object {$_.Enabled -eq $False}
In Example 5, information is returned for all the server applications that are currently disabled. To carry out this task, the command first calls Get-CsServerApplication to return a collection of all the server applications configured for use in the organization. This collection is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which selects only those applications where the Enabled property is equal to False.
-------------------------- Example 6 ------------------------
Get-CsServerApplication | Where-Object {$_.Critical -eq $True -and $_.Enabled -eq $False}
Example 6 is a variation of the command shown in Example 5. In Example 6, information is returned for all the server applications that are marked as critical and are currently disabled. To do this, the command first calls Get-CsServerApplication without any parameters; that returns a collection of all the server applications configured for use. This collection is then piped to Where-Object, which picks out only those applications that meet two criteria: the Critical property must be equal to True; and, the Enabled property must be equal to False. The -and operator ensures that only objects that meet both criteria will be returned.
-------------------------- Example 7 ------------------------
Get-CsServerApplication | Where-Object {$_.Uri -like "*routing*"}
In Example 7, information is returned for any server application that has the string value "routing" somewhere in its Uri. This task is accomplished by first using Get-CsServerApplication to retrieve all the server applications currently in use. The resulting collection is then piped to Where-Object, which selects only those applications in which the Uri property includes the string value "routing".
-------------------------- Example 8 ------------------------
Get-CsServerApplication | Where-Object {$_.ScriptName -ne $Null}
The preceding command returns information for all the server applications that have been assigned a script. To do this, the command first retrieves a collection of all the server applications currently in use; this information is retrieved by calling Get-CsServerApplication without any parameters. The complete collection of server applications is then piped to the Where-Object cmdlet, which selects only those applications where the ScriptName property is not equal to a null value. If the ScriptName property is not equal to a null value that means that a script has been assigned to that application.

When Forest City Gear started manufacturing gears for medical components in the 1980s, it was a minuscule part of the company's business. Today, the medical device industry represents 18-20%.
18 Local 3-D Flank Form Optimizations for Bevel Gears (September/October 2003)
Optimizing the running behavior of bevel and hypoid gears means improving both noise behavior and load carrying capacity. Since load deflections change the relative position of pinion and ring gear, the position of the contact pattern will depend on the torque. Different contact positions require local 3-D flank form optimizations for improving a gear set.
19 CBN Gear Grinding - A Way to Higher Load Capacity (November/December 1993)
Because of the better thermal conductivity of CBN abrasives compared to that of conventional aluminum oxide wheels, CBN grinding process, which induces residual compressive stresses into the component, and possibly improves the subsequent stress behavior. This thesis is the subject of much discussion. In particular, recent Japanese publications claim great advantages for the process with regard to an increased component load capacity, but do not provide further details regarding the technology, test procedures or components investigated. This situation needs clarification, and for the this reason the effect of the CBN grinding material on the wear behavior and tooth face load capacity of continuously generated ground gears was further investigated.
20 New Methods for the Calculation of the Load Capacity of Bevel and Hypoid Gears (June/July 2013)
Flank breakage is common in a number of cylindrical and bevel gear applications. This paper introduces a relevant, physically based calculation method to evaluate flank breakage risk vs. pitting risk. Verification of this new method through testing is demonstrably shown.
21 Determination and Optimization of the Contact Pattern of Worm Gears (March/April 2003)
The load capacity of worm gears is mainly influenced by the size and the position of the contact pattern.
22 Influences on Failure Modes and Load-Carrying Capacity of Grease-Lubricated Gears (January/February 2016)
In order to properly select a grease for a particular application, a sound knowledge of the influence of different grease components and operating conditions on the lubrication supply mechanism and on different failure modes is of great benefit.
23 Inclusion-Based Bending Strength Calculation of Gears (May 2017)
Reduced component weight and ever-increasing power density require a gear design on the border area of material capacity. In order to exploit the potential offered by modern construction materials, calculation methods for component strength must rely on a deeper understanding of fracture and material mechanics in contrast to empirical-analytical approaches.
24 Increased Tooth Bending Strength and Pitting Load Capacity of Fine-Module Gears (September/October 2016)
The common calculation methods according to DIN 3990 and ISO 6336 are based on a comparison of occurring stress and allowable stress. The influence of gear size on the load-carrying capacity is considered with the size factors YX (tooth root bending) and ZX (pitting), but there are further influences, which should be considered. In the following, major influences of gear size on the load factors as well as on the permissible tooth root bending and contact stress will be discussed.
25 Comparative Load Capacity Evaluation of CBN-Finished Gears (May/June 1990)
Cubic boron nitride (CBN) finishing of carburized gearing has been shown to have certain economic and geometric advantages and, as a result, it has been applied to a wide variety of precision gears in many different applications. In critical applications such as aerospace drive systems, however, any new process must be carefully evaluated before it is used in a production application. Because of the advantages associated with this process, a test program was instituted to evaluate the load capacity of aerospace-quality gears finished by the CBN process as compared to geometrically identical gears finished by conventional grinding processes. This article presents a brief description of the CBN process, its advantages in an aerospace application, and the results of an extensive test program conducted by Boeing Helicopters (BH) aimed at an evaluation of the effects of this process on the scoring, surface durability, and bending fatigue properties of spur gears. In addition, the results of an x-ray diffraction study to determine the surface and subsurface residual stress distributions of both shot-peened and nonshot-peened CBN-ground gears as compared to similar conventionally ground gears are also presented.
26 Calculation of Tooth Root Load Carrying Capacity of Beveloid Gears (June 2014)
In this paper, two developed methods of tooth root load carrying capacity calculations for beveloid gears with parallel axes are presented, in part utilizing WZL software GearGenerator and ZaKo3D. One method calculates the tooth root load-carrying capacity in an FE-based approach. For the other, analytic formulas are employed to calculate the tooth root load-carrying capacity of beveloid gears. To conclude, both methods are applied to a test gear. The methods are compared both to each other and to other tests on beveloid gears with parallel axes in test bench trials.
27 Influence of Grinding Burn on Pitting Capacity (August 2008)
This paper intends to determine the load-carrying capacity of thermally damaged parts under rolling stress. Since inspection using real gears is problematic, rollers are chosen as an acceptable substitute. The examined scope of thermal damage from hard finishing extends from undamaged, best-case parts to a rehardening zone as the worst case. Also, two degrees of a tempered zone have been examined.
28 Surface Damage Caused by Gear Profile Grinding and its Effects on Flank Load Carrying Capacity (September/October 2004)
Instances of damage to discontinuous form ground and surface-hardened gears, especially of large scale, have recently increased. This may be attributed partly to a faulty grinding process with negative effects on the surface zones and the surface properties.
29 The Effect of Manufaturing Microgeometry Variations on the Load Distribution Factor and on Gear Contact and Root Stresses (July 2009)
Traditionally, gear rating procedures consider manufacturing accuracy in the application of the dynamic factor, but only indirectly through the load distribution are such errors in the calculation of stresses used in the durability and gear strength equations. This paper discusses how accuracy affects the calculation of stresses and then uses both statistical design of experiments and Monte Carlo simulation techniques to quantify the effects of different manufacturing and assembly errors on root and contact stresses.
30 Load Carrying Capacity of Screw Helical Gears with Steel Pinions and Plastic Wheels (July/August 2004)
There is an increasing significance of screw helical and worm gears that combine use of steel and plastics. This is shown by diverse and continuously rising use in the automotive and household appliance industries. The increasing requirements for such gears can be explained by the advantageous qualities of such a material combination in comparison with that of the traditional steel/bronze pairing.
31 Influence of Relative Displacements Between Pinion and Gear on Tooth Root Stresses of Spiral Bevel Gears (July/August 1985)
The manufacturing quality of spiral bevel gears has achieved a very high standard. Nevertheless, the understanding of the real stress conditions and the influences. of certain parameters is not satisfactory.
32 Nonstandard Tooth Proportions (June 2007)
With the right selection of nonstandard center distance and tool shifting, it may be possible to use standard tools to improve the gear set capacity with a considerable reduction in cost when compared to the use of special tools.
33 Generating Interchangeable 20-Degree Spur Gear Sets with Circular Fillets to Increase Load Carrying Capacity (July/August 2006)
This article presents a new spur gear 20-degree design that works interchangeably with the standard 20-degree system and achieves increased tooth bending strength and hence load carrying capacity.
34 Pitting Load Capacity of Helical Gears (May 2008)
Influences of Load Distribution and Tooth Flank Modifications as Considered in a New, DIN/ISO-Compatible Calculation Method
35 Improvement in Load Capacity of Crossed Helical Gears (January/February 1987)
Crossed helical gear sets are used to transmit power and motion between non-intersecting and non-parallel axes. Both of the gears that mesh with each other are involute helical gears, and a point contact is made between them. They can stand a small change in the center distance and the shaft angle without any impairment in the accuracy of transmitting motion.
36 Influence of Geometrical Parameters on the Gear Scuffing Criterion - Part I (March/April 1987)
The load capacity rating of gears had its beginning in the 18th century at Leiden University when Prof. Pieter van Musschenbroek systematically tested the wooden teeth of windmill gears, applying the bending strength formula published by Galilei one century earlier. In the next centuries several scientists improved or extended the formula, and recently a Draft International Standard could be presented.
37 Scoring Load Capacity of Gears Lubricated with EP-Oils (October/November 1984)
The Integral Temperature Method for the evaluation of the scoring load capacity of gears is described. All necessary equations for the practical application are presented. The limit scoring temperature for any oil can be obtained from a gear scoring test.
38 Size and Material Influence on the Tooth Root, Pitting, Scuffing and Wear Load-Carrying Capacity of Fine-Module Gears (September 2011)
In this study, limiting values for the load-carrying-capacity of fine-module gears within the module range 0.31.0 mm were determined and evaluated by comprehensive, experimental investigations that employed technical, manufacturing and material influence parameters.
39 Flank Load Carrying Capacity and Power Loss Reduction by Minimized Lubrication (May 2011)
The objective of this study was to investigate the limits concerning possible reduction of lubricant quantity in gears that could be tolerated without detrimental effects on their load carrying capacity.
40 FZG Rig-Based Testing of Flank Load-Carrying Capacity Internal Gears (June/July 2012)
Micropitting, pitting and wear are typical gear failure modes that can occur on the flanks of slowly operated and highly stressed internal gears. However, the calculation methods for the flank load-carrying capacity have mainly been established on the basis of experimental investigations of external gears. This paper describes the design and functionality of the newly developed test rigs for internal gears and shows basic results of the theoretical studies. It furthermore presents basic examples of experimental test results.

Ice Cube Planning Another Friday
And Chris Tucker might be back
It's been almost ten years since the last instalment, but Ice Cube and New Line are apparently keen to revive the slacker Friday franchise.
The first Friday was a stoner comedy released in 1995. It's nominal plot involved Chris Tucker's need to get $200 back to local drug dealer Big Worm (Faizon Love) and Cube's face-off with bully Deebo (Tiny Lister), but its easygoing pace allowed for plenty of sitting around on porches, talking nonsense and smoking.
Five years later, Next Friday was a broader tale of Cube staying with his cousin Day-Day (Mike Epps) and getting embroiled in some shenanigans against the trio of haplessly inept Latino gangstas next door (this was at the height of Cube's rather public spat with Cypress Hill, context fans). The Cube/Epps double-act continued into Friday After Next, which saw them as mall cops. There was also a short-lived animated series, although none of the movie series cast provided the voices.
The first film was directed by F Gary Gray, the second by Steve Carr, and the third by Marcus Raboy, but the currently untitled fourth may see Cube himself stepping behind the camera, as well as starring and writing as he's always done. The bigger news however, is that the new film may see the return of Tucker's Smokey, who hasn't been seen since the original. Deebo's in it too.
Deadline and TMZ both point out that Tucker sat out the other Friday sequels for religious and anti-drugs reasons (he also says he wouldn't now do Jackie Brown), but the "serious talks" that are apparently underway suggest that Tucker's reservations might be addressed and accommodated in the next screenplay. There surely is comedy potential in a Smokey who no longer smokes: it's Friday, he ain't got no job, and he ain't got shit to do... but he can't get high either...
We'll roll with some more news when we have it.

WASHINGTON, D.C.Defense Secretary Donald H.
Rumsfeld on Tuesday ordered about 10,000 active-duty Boy Scouts of America
to prepare to ship out to Iraq in the next few months. The decision
acknowledges Iraq is much more unstable and dangerous than U.S. generals
had hoped earlier this year, when they planned to cut the number of
troops occupying Iraq to about 115,000.
Interest RateWASHINGTON, D.C.Federal Reserve Chairman
Alan Greenspan, appearing before the Joint Economic Committee of

he was sure he had the rate in his briefcase that morning at
the coffeeshop where he is a regular.
WASHINGTON, D.C.Following four days of closed
door deliberations, the National 9/11 Commission issued a
statement Monday, concluding that if it had existed, the terrorist attack could
have been avoided easily. "Just look at our commission's title," said

have focused our investigation greatly."

Penn State deals with annual troubles
Once again, Penn State's preseason football camp has become an exercise in dealing with distractions.
A report on ESPN's "Outside The Lines" ran a week before practice began, questioning coach Joe Paterno's control of the program. Several days later, Paterno dismissed defensive tackles Chris Baker and Phil Taylor from the team for undisclosed reasons. They had been among six players suspended since the end of the 2007 season. Wide receiver Chris Bell previously had been dismissed from the team for an incident in which he was charged with threatening a teammate with a knife.
A year ago, safety Anthony Scirrotto was a Penn State player trying to ward off distractions as well as prepare for football season. He'd been charged with multiple felonies in connection with an April scuffle at an off-campus apartment. By this time last year, the list of charges had been reduced, but it was not until February 2008 that Scirrotto had closure by pleading guilty to a misdemeanor of defiant trespass.
Scirrotto, a team captain in his senior season, understands in retrospect that his legal situation divided his attention last year.
"You don't like to think of it as doing that, but I feel a lot more relieved this year without having to worry about talking to my lawyer and things of that nature, that I don't want to ever have to deal with again," he said. "Obviously, it's easy to tell that I feel a little bit lighter on my feet. I feel that things are going a lot smoother this summer."
Linebacker Navorro Bowman dealt with being suspended after an October altercation during a dance at the school's student union.
Bowman indicated he has absorbed a hard lesson.
"Just pick your troubles wisely. Just stay out of trouble," he said. "Everybody learns from their mistakes and I did learn from it."
Bowman was dealt a personal blow this summer when his father died.
"My teammates ... supported me and came to the funeral," he said. "That meant a lot to me."
Senior Rich Ohrnberger, a starting guard, has managed to steer clear of legal entanglements, but he's found himself visiting Paterno's doghouse because of his impish personality.
His epiphany, he said, was "figuring out that you're an adult now and you're being perceived that way, you have to act that way."
Ohrnberger was reluctant to specify his behavioral changes.
"I don't know," he said. "The little kid stuff that doesn't fly any more. We're big boys now."
Measuring the impact of distractions on a team is, at best, an inexact science.
"It's not like we're waiting around with bated breath for the next person to get in trouble," Ohrnberger said. "I feel like even though maybe some of that bad publicity and losing key players and things like that for different reasons hurt us, it might have helped us come together a little more as a team."
Penn State has no monopoly on off-field distractions, judging by recent headlines.
Georgia linebacker Darius Dewberry did $2,100 damage at a hospital Sunday morning and became the fifth player for the No. 1 Bulldogs to be suspended for the season opener.
Wisconsin running back Lance Smith has been dismissed from the team after being expelled from a first-offenders program he was participating in following a dispute with a girlfriend that resulted in battery and disorderly conduct charges.
Kentucky quarterback Curtis Pulley, who was vying for the starting job, has been booted from the team. He missed last season with academic problems and has been dealing with traffic charges and a marijuana citation this year.
Oklahoma dismissed incoming freshman wide receiver Josh Jarboe. After signing with the school in February, Jarboe was charged in a March incident of having a gun on school property. That situation had been dealt with, but Jarboe sealed his fate by showing up on an Internet video rapping about guns and shooting people.

A quick question about the submission writing.
Do you have a problem with writers using Grand Master Torch in a submission? Specifically, a follow on to #14, and the "favor" owed to him by the PFS? Curious, considering that you apparently planned on using him in #45.
|Joshua J. Frost
|William Sinclair
That favor is part of the plot to #45. :-)
I don't mind folks wanting to use established NPCs, though.
Hmm... gonna have to rewrite that part of my submission then. If I'd only thought of this idea a few weeks ago. Ah well. Thanks for the info.
Another question, if you don't mind, about general submissions, since I didn't see it covered anywhere (might be blind, but hey, I looked twice).
Maps? Want 'em with the submission? Don't want 'em? Detailed? Not detailed? Format?
Just curious. I made a quick and dirty one to help me picture my submission in my head, and didn't know if I should send it along.

I played around with this last year and I came up with some interesting things:

- I tried it with PC muffin fans, which work "OK".Ā I'd definitely go for something bigger, although I like how quiet these things are.

- 100% Cotton towels make awesome wicking things.Ā The meshy dishtowels I think would be best for air flow.Ā They are available 3 for $1 at any dollar store. I couldn't get my putzy little fans to dry them out.

- The batteries that are taken out of UPSs during servicing are the best cheap solution for this sort of application, so long as you don't get too big a fan.Ā Anyone SAs here know any UPSes that are due for their annual/semi-annual servicing?

I've been seeing double lately — which, considering the assignments I've been giving my students, makes sense. One class has been writing double dactyls; the other class, double abecedarians. My original idea was to combine my thoughts on the two forms into a single post — a kind of double double — but then those thoughts led to more thoughts (and more poems, and more links) . . . and, as this Sunday's New York Times reminds us (and then sort of takes back), we're becoming increasingly bad at, well, focusing. So, let's take up double dactyls now, and double abecedarians in another week.
In Jiggery-Pokery: A Compendium of Double Dactyls, Anthony Hecht provides an account of the form's origin. The date was November 3, 1951; the location was the American Academy in Rome. Hecht had become friends with a fellow Fellow, the classical scholar Paul Pascal, and Pascal's wife, Naomi. The three shared lunch on this November afternoon ("antipasto, followed by lasagna, saltimbocca alla romana, insalata mista, and a bottle of good Frascati"), and then the talk circled back to poetry. To jump ahead: "By the end of the afternoon we had hammered out the nature and details of the form. Neither of us could have foreseen, in those early days, the success and celebrity that would attend upon us many years later when the Double Dactyl made its first public appearance in the June, 1966 issue of Esquire." Hecht's tongue, like his saltimbocca, is firmly in cheek — but in a way he's right. Of forms invented over the past century or so, which ones have proved more durable than the double dactyl? Maybe only the clerihew.
To describe the form, I'll defer to Hecht and John Hollander (from their co-authored Introduction to Jiggery-Pokery):
The form itself, as it was determined that November day in Rome, is composed of two quatrains, of which the last line of the first rhymes with the last line of the second. All the lines except the rhyming ones, which are truncated, are composed of two dactylic feet. The first line of the poem must be a double dactylic nonsense line, like "Higgledy-piggledy," or "Pocketa-pocketa" (this last, of course, borrowed from "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"). The second line must be a double dactylic name. And then, somewhere in the poem, though preferably in the second stanza, and ideally in the antepenultimate line, there must be at least one double dactylic line which is one word long. (Foreign languages may be employed, and indeed there is a hope that this form will restore macaronic verse to the dignity it has not enjoyed since the Late Middle Ages.) But, and the beauty of the form consists chiefly in this, once such a double dactylic word has successfully been employed in this verse form, it may never be used again.
Two things follow from this. One: that there must be an approved canon of Double Dactyls by which it may be established what words have already been eliminated. Two: that presently, and probably very soon, the entire supply of double dactylic words in all languages will have been exhausted, bringing the form to its ultimate demise.
The idea of a form with a built-in self-destruct button is great fun — though I wouldn't take the conceit seriously. My students spent the past week jiggering (and pokering) Jennifer Aniston, Pamela Anderson, and other Esquire favorites; the form hoof-beats ahead. George Starbuck's "Troves for the Natives of 1992" is a post-Compendium ten-stanza double-dactyl tour de force (Starbuck being five times wittier than the rest of us), and Wendy Cope's "Emily Dickinson" has a permanent place in the Light Verse canon.
I've tried, at times, to use the form for serious purposes. Here's a bit of post-9-11 working-through:
Snow, nor Rain
[Name not released as yet]
Handled the envelopes
Twenty-odd years.
Anthrax bacillus spores,
Killed him on Saturday.
Send him your tears.
I've also dragged the form into the realm of the confessional, as this double-double dactyl, from Michael Schiavo's new Equalizer series, shows.
(Regarding the suspicious-looking hyphens in each example, let's return again to Hollander and Hecht: "Then there is the delicate problem of hyphens. While the Regents at present feel that hyphens may be used quite freely in this form, they have not yet determined how censorious to be about hyphenated double-dactylic words. A decision on this point is hoped for at our next convocation." And then, in a footnote: "Wise money would probably bet against their being admitted. It is only by maintaining rigorous standards that one can, as it were, hope to maintain rigorous standards.")
Let's end with my five favorites from the original anthology. If sketches by Milton Glaser come to mind as you read them, so much the better:
Patty-cake, patty-cake,
Marcus Antonius
What do you think of the

Duties require my

Mine) which have suffered his
Shocking neglect.

Group RBD have recently signed a written statement, saying that they will split up to continue with a bigger project.
After four years singing songs together in front of millions of people, Mexican pop group RBD announce that they will split up in a written statement, which is signed by their five members, Alfonso, Any, Christian, Christopher, Dulce Maria y Maite. As posted on their official website, the group wrote to all of their fans, "You, our fans, also left an unforgettable mark in our lives, and will never forget you, and keep you always close to our hearts."
This has then made some speculations, saying that the group's members are eying for solo careers. The rumor goes deeper with their statement, saying, "Every big Project needs to make changes in order to move on, and today we are initiating that process."
For a start of farewell tour, the group will perform in Spain. They will then bring the farewell party in Serbia, Slovenia, Venezuela, Argentina, Romania, Brazil, Peru, Los Angeles, and Mexico. A detailed list of place and time of their show can be found on their official website.
The group was formed in 2004 on Mexico's "Rebelde" television program, and continued even after the program ended in 2006. RBD became popular across the Spanish-speaking world for songs like "Tu Amor" taken from their 2006 "Rebels".

Business As Usual By Stuart Friedman
May 21st, 2013 – Pat's company has grown an average of 10 percent a year for six years – a truly great entrepreneurial story. Pat started the company from her living room with two friends after a client recommended she work for him, full-time, as an independent contractor. Essentially, he would provide financial backing and offer encouragement and stability, while she pursued other clients and grew the company.
Today Pat's company is in two cities. It's thriving. Turnover, however, is a problem. Turnover is the purview of Chris, one of the original "living room" founders, who is now president.
Though Chris is bright, assertive and able to anticipate, she is young and has not developed professional management skills. She is poor at relating to people and shuns human contact, preferring to communicate via email or text message rather than face-to-face.
Chris shows little tolerance for people she considers less intelligent, and rarely acknowledges the ideas of others. With staff, she often rolls her eyes or puts her hands up as a way of telling others she doesn't want to hear any more.
Chris is a good friend to Pat. She makes a hefty salary, plus receives regular bonuses and other financial incentives from Pat – all of which tends to condone Chris's behavior.
Pat is aware of Chris's actions, yet does nothing, even when faced with higher-than-average turnover for her industry. She blames everyone but Chris.
Pat just hired an executive VP. Jerry will report to Chris and oversee the company's largest division. Jerry must go through a thorough, complete and deep on-boarding process. The quicker he can connect with his new colleagues, the sooner he can contribute to the company's ongoing success. Jerry also needs to learn "Pat's way" so he can carry out and carry on the culture and company legacy.
Together with all department heads, HR created extensive orientation materials for new managers/executives, complete with company history, a directory of employees, their competencies and skills, etc. Chris's responsibility in the on-boarding process is to work with new managers/executives to create a schedule and overall approach for their work.
Chris, however, is often a barrier to the process. She simply provides the orientation materials to new leaders with a cursory, "Come see me if you have questions," and little more.
Is it any surprise that Jerry is the company's fourth executive VP in three years? Chris expects different results with each new hire, but she does the same thing over and over. Is it insanity, stupidity . . . or just business as usual?
Chris needs to realize that the more people she relates to, the more people she can leverage. She needs to realize that there is no better time than right now to bring Jerry in and do all she can to make his integration with the company successful.
Chris's actions indicate she has little patience for others, that she does not like working on a team, and that she probably does not like her job. Maybe she feels trapped or obligated to stay for Pat's sake, or maybe she enjoys the six-figure salary and other compensation. Who knows?
Regardless of "why," Chris's actions will no doubt impact the company both short-term and long-term. Only by making new choices will she do right by her CEO, her friend and the company.
Here are some thoughts to help her:
• Learn to work with others by listening to their ideas and learning interpersonal etiquette (even consider an etiquette coach).
• Learn to manage others with open and frequent dialogue, sharing her thoughts and philosophy freely (rather than rolling eyes).
• Communicate company updates weekly so staff feels more connected to the organization and to her.
• Engage a "life" coach to identify her fulfillment needs and develop a plan to get there.
Pat needs to make choices, too. Here are some ideas for her:
• Help Chris develop the skills and direction she so desperately needs.
• Change her own ways so she becomes more connected to the people in her organization (rather than leaving it up to others).
• Limit Chris's role and cease monetary rewards for undesirable behavior.
• Ask Chris to move on from her position or even leave the organization.
For her company to enjoy similar growth and success going forward, Pat needs to move loyalties out of the way. It's her choice . . .

|Council discusses future annexation
No definitive plans announced, but city manager doesn't want anyone 'caught off guard'
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
Nov. 2, 2005 -- A property owner's request for the annexation of a new residential development area has led Sulphur Springs City Council members to consider beginning steps to straighten some of the city's boundary lines.
In discussing the annexation, council member Joe Crouch said some of the city's boundaries do not make sense, and the city has a need to true them up.
City Manager Marc Maxwell told council members Tuesday night that discussions have been ongoing for several years regarding the annexation of property adjacent to the city limits for this purpose, but that there are other needs, also.
"The idea is that we want to look at annexation," he said. "There is no preconceived notion at City Hall as to what should and should not be annexed, other than the fact we need to annex the future Highway 11 extension before it happens."
Bringing property along that highway into the city limits has been a "foregone conclusion" for years, Maxwell explained.
The city manager told council members that the public must be made fully aware of any plans concerning bringing more land into the city limits.
"If we get into this process and we have a proposed annexation, I don't want anybody caught off guard," he said. "So nobody can say 'Gee, I didn't know about this.'"
City-initiated annexation is a lengthy, somewhat complicated process that also provides opportunities for public input. The city manager said he wanted people to be aware of any city plans and the necessary steps in the annexation process.
Along with the possible inclusion of the planned SH 11 extension, Maxwell said growth potential over the next five to seven years will mandate additional annexations to the city.
"Growth will become the case soon," he said. "Growth has been headed our way for a while, and it is probably five or 10 years out before we start seeing the beginnings of the wave of growth that Royse City has seen and Greenville is now experiencing."
Maxwell cited property owned by the Hopkins County Industrial Foundation and Sulphur Springs-Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation for future development that is not currently inside the city limits, but in the future would need to be annexed.
"It is a lot easier to annex these before development than after," he said. "Of course, that raises a whole host of issues about taxation and is not an issue that we would take lightly."
While growth potential must be considered, Maxwell said that was not the main issue.
"We just need to configure the boundaries so that they make a little more sense," he concluded.

Better spending on education, lower VAT among AFC's budget proposals
The AFC has outlined its budget proposals in a letter to Minister of Finance Dr Ashni Singh including urging greater economic diversification and making education spending more relevant to a school curriculum that is designed to meet the developmental needs of Guyana.
The party also urged the reduction of the Value Added Tax (VAT), lowering of the Berbice River Bridge toll and reduction of vehicle duties and taxes, while advocating for increases in old age pensions and the wages and salaries of public servants.
In a press release, the AFC said that its suggestions for inclusion in the 2013 budget are based on the AFC's position that fundamental to Guyana's development is the "growth of a diversified economy capable of creating significantly better employment opportunities for our younger citizens than currently exist."
The statement said that in the letter to the minister, the AFC noted that in keeping with national priorities, and given the fact that 85% of Guyana's foreign earnings still derive from the export of the same primary products which the country has been relying on since independence, specific budgetary measures must be taken to achieve greater economic diversification and make education spending more relevant to a school curriculum that is designed to meet the developmental needs of Guyana.
"In the letter, the AFC acknowledged that it is the government's role to prepare and propose the national budget and the party does not seek to interfere with this process. However, as a political party with a growing constituency it will ensure that the needs and interests of its constituents are not ignored in the preparation of the 2013 budget," the statement said.
Specifically, the AFC proposed that the VAT be reduced, the Berbice Bridge tolls lowered, vehicle duties and taxes reduced, as well as zero taxes on all electric cars and for wages and salaries of public servants to be increased by 10% across the board while old age pension is increased to $15,000.
The party also said that the subvention to the Critchlow Labour College should be restored, while urging that lottery funds and NICIL funds be paid into the Consolidated Fund along with monies held in all special bank accounts as recommended by the Auditor General in his 2011 report. The party also urged that the Region Eight council's approved budget for 2013 be considered in place of REO's submissions. It also proposed that budget estimates be placed online.
"The letter reiterated the AFC's concern with the non-establishment of the Public Procurement Commission, the blatant misuse of state media and the illegal activities of NICIL. The AFC considers these to be impediments to constructive engagement on the 2013 budget," the statement said. "The AFC is open to discussing the issues related to the 2013 budget with the minister of finance and his representatives," it added.
On Wednesday, leaders of the AFC and APNU said that by yesterday they would have submitted proposals for inclusion into the 2013 budget to government, but expressed doubts that their ideas would see the light of day.

A MEMBER of the European Parliament says Dorset businesses could lose out if the United Kingdom were to leave the European Union.
South West MEP Graham Watson says that hundreds of thousands of jobs across the region depend on the EU and claims the business case for staying in Europe is becoming clear as the county prepares to vote in the European elections next month.
The Liberal Democrat MEP said: "Just last week the Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry came out and said how Dorset businesses have to do more to make the most of export markets if the economic recovery is to really take hold around here."
Mr Watson said the Chamber was working hard to help local businesses feel their way into the export market and, as the UK's biggest export market, Europe was vital in that.
He added: "An estimated 360,000 jobs across the South West, and 59 per cent of the region's exports, depend on the EU – much higher than the national average."
Mr Watson said that there was a 'growing chorus' of business leaders and firms calling for Britain to stay in the EU.
He added: "There are a number of Dorset employers that export to the EU and could really suffer if we left the single market.
"Over in Weymouth, fashion retailer New Look, who opened their first ever shop in Taunton in 1969 and have a big office in Weymouth, have stores in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and across Eastern Europe."
Mr Watson said Poole-based firms such as Lush Cosmetics, luxury yacht manufacturer Sunseeker and heat exchanger firm Heatric could also see their international trade suffer.
He said: "It's not just about stuff made in Dorset – a phenomenal amount of international trade goes in and out of Poole, Weymouth and Portland's harbours thanks to their prime south coast location.
"Being in the EU also helps Dorset's local agricultural produce, with Dorset blue cheese, West Country Farmhouse Cheddar and west country beef and lamb all enjoying protected EU status which guarantees quality and keeps jobs local."
While many UKIP and some Conservative politicians advocate a British exit from the EU, Mr Watson's party claims staying in Europe will protect British jobs.
He said: "As a Liberal Democrat I want Britain to stay in the EU because we want to protect our jobs.
"In Europe means in work – it's as simple as that."

Today, Hudson city elected officials are the only entity in Summit County with a 75-day deadline. All of the other school boards, cities, villages and townships have a 90-day deadline.

June's 1,500 Tournament
Crossroad Games is holding a 1,500 tournament this month but it's being done differently than usual. The store is hosting the semis for 'ard Boyz this month and wouldn't be able to also host the normal monthly tournament. So what they've decided to do is hold the normal tournament over a three week period on the normal 40K gaming night. You have to stick with your army but can change your list each week. Everything else is normal, army comp scores, painting scores, etc.
Last night was the kick-off of the tournament. I got there later than I wanted and when I arrived there were already 6-7 tables going! I had to wait a bit for a game to end and ended up facing a Chaos player who is just getting back into the swing of things after eight months off. The mission was one from last year's first round of 'ard Boyz if I recall, Drawn and Quartered. Each side deploys using spearhead and one objective is placed in the center of the quarters not deployed in. To win you need to hold more objectives and have more kill points, well for a massacre anyway. Chaos won the roll and deployed first. His list was something like:
* Abaddon
* Sorcerer
* Berserkers x 6 + Rhino
* Berserkers x 6 + Rhino
* Plague Marines x 5 w/power fist + Rhino
* Termies x 3 w/claws, chainfist & combi-flamer, autocannon & powerfist
* Termies x 3 w/power weapon & combi-flamer, power fist, claws
My list was:
* Big Mek w/'eavy armor, cybork, choppa, KFF (kustom force field)
* Lootas x 8 (2 Meks w/kustom mega blastas)
* Slugga Boyz x 11 + w/big shoota + Nob w/'eavy armor bosspole, slugga, power klaw + Trukk
* 'ard Boyz x 12 +w/big shoota + Nob w/'eavy armor, bosspole, slugga, power klaw + Trukk
* Shoota Boyz x 12 w/big shoota + Nob w/'eavy armor, bosspole, shoota, big choppa
* Grots x 10 + Runtherd w/grabba stikk, slugga
* Wartrakks x 3 w/twin-linked rokkits
* Warbikers x 6 + Nob w/big choppa
* Kans x 3 w/rokkits
* Looted Wagon w/'ard case, plates, big shoota x 1, boomgun
* Battlewagon w/'ard case, ram, plates, big shootas x 4, kannon
He had deployed his two Rhinos with Berserkers to run for the objective to my north trailed by Abaddon. The Plague Marine Rhino was aimed to head to my east with his Sorcerer hiding in some ruins to my northeast. I deployed everything as close to the center as I could to be split in two halves. I was sending my Kans, Warbikers, Wartrakks and 'ard Boyz to the north and Big Mek w/Sluggas, Shootas, Battlewagon and Looted Wagon to the east. The Lootas were set up centrally to fire to either objective and Grots were in reserve.
There really isn't much to highlight in this game. This played out very much like the last time I played this same mission against another Chaos player. With my split forces I was able to deal with each half of his army. I had the advantage of speed and numbers. I took my time getting to the objectives with my Trukks, relying on my armored fire support to remove transports and then my dakka and assaulting to remove occupants. At the end of the game he had Abaddon left and an immobilized Rhino. I took a massacre win and got 2 extra battle points, giving me a score of 22.
A great start to the tournament and one of the few massacres I've managed in all the tournaments I've gone to. Now to see if I can keep it up for the next two games.

Olt, Soler Join I-Cubs
Ramirez placed on DL; Anderson assigned to double-A
By Iowa Cubs | July 24, 2014 3:57 PM ET
Des Moines, IA - The Chicago Cubs recalled LH Tsuyoshi Wada on Wednesday and
optioned INF Mike Olt to the Iowa Cubs. The Cubs also promoted OF Jorge Soler from double-A Tennessee to Iowa, placed OF Manny Ramirez on the disabled list, and assigned 1B Lars Anderson to Tennessee. Olt and Soler will be active for Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Zephyrs at Principal Park.
Olt batted .139 (26-for-187) with four doubles, 12 home runs, 30 RBI, and 2 runs scored in 72 games with Chicago this season. He leads all National League rookies in homers and is second in RBI. The Cubs acquired Olt along with pitchers C.J. Edwards, Justin Grimm, and Neil Ramirez from the Texas Rangers on July 22, 2013 in exchange for RH Matt Garza. Olt joined the I-Cubs after the trade and batted .168 (22-for-131) with three home runs and eight RBI in 39 games to finish the year. In 2012, Olt led the double-A Texas League with 28 home runs in 95 games for Frisco before making his big league debut with the Rangers.
Baseball America rated Soler as the Cubs' fifth-best prospect entering this season. He has batted .415 (27-for-65) with nine doubles, a triple, six home runs, and 22 RBI in 22 games at Tennessee this season. He has had two stints on the disabled list due to hamstring strains. He batted .391 (9-for-23) with a home run and six RBI in seven games on rehab in the Arizona Rookie League. Soler defected from Cuba and signed a nine-year major league contract with the Cubs on June 30, 2012. Last year, he hit .255 (59-for-210) with 13 doubles, eight home runs, and 15 RBI in 55 games with high-A Daytona in the Florida State League and was named to the FSL mid-season All-Star Team. Following last season, he hit .271 (23-for-85) with six doubles, a home run, and 14 RBI in 20 games for the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League.
Ramirez is batting .176 (6-for-34) with a home run and four RBI in 11 games with Iowa this season. He signed with the Chicago Cubs on May 25 as a player/coach and joined Iowa on June 23.
Anderson is batting .287 (25-for-87) with five doubles, four home runs, and 19 RBI in 34 games with the I-Cubs. He was out May 17-July 11 due to an inner-ear infection.
The Cubs and Zephyrs wrap up a four-game series tonight at 7:05 PM. LH Eric Jokisch (5-8, 4.04) will start for the Cubs against RH Alex Sanabia (5-3, 4.79) for New Orleans. The gates open at 5:35. The game will be broadcast live on AM 940 and streamed live at iowacubs.com with the On-Deck Circle Pre-Game Show starting at 6:45.

Informing my clients about resignation
I would appreciate if you could guide me on how to write a letter informing my clients that i am resigning from my job. I intent to mention personnal reasons but i would also like to thank them for their trust and support.
Thanking you in advance for your help!
I would appreciate if you could guide me on how to write a letter informing my clients that i am resigning from my job. I intent to mention personnal reasons but i would also like to thank them for their trust and support.
Thanking you in advance for your help!
What is the purpose of writing the letter? The reason I am asking this is almost all employment contracts make it clear that you cannot take your client list with you, or contact your former clients for a period of 6-24 months after leaving that company.
The only thing you really need to write is something along the lines of: "With deep regret I have decided it is time for me to move on to doing something else, and I thank you for your trust and support.
I shall be leaving [name of company] on date and you should contact my predesssor, [name of person] from date."
Can you please advise me on how to inform my clients that I've resigned from my position? I do not intend to take the client list with me or solicitate my clients at all. I work as a Personal Banking Officer with an ABC company and manage a portfolio of almost 300 clients. Over time I've built a relationship with them and they only communicate their banking needs with me. I feel that it will be disservice to them if I left without notifying them and telling them who to contact once I am gone. Most of my clients keep in touch with me via an e-mail.
I've discussed this with my manager and she likes the idea to notify the clients. I need help putting this into nice words and need to thank my clients for all their business throughout.
Please advise. thanks,
how do i inform my clients that i resigned from my job and have a new one?
I have worked in the recruitment industry for over ten years and have handled legal cases relating to this topic for the companies I have worked for, so whilst not a legal specialist I can certainly tell you what I have experienced in a company, client and personal perspective.
Although you may feel that you have developed good relationships with your clients, you did this on behalf of the company you worked for and to all intents and purposes these are the company's clients and not yours. Most contracts have a restrictive covenant handing this and you should check this before proceeding. Most companies would take a very dim view of you contacting clients and advising them of your departure even if it is innocent. They may even perceive it as a threat and attack on their business.
My own experience after walking away from a job I held for 8 years was that I consulted with my employers on the tone and content of the correspondence sent to my clients. I work in a very niche business sector and wanted to ensure my reputation wasn't damaged. They even forwarded some positive feedback from the clients to me after I had left the company. I think this is unusual though and most companies would want to handle any fall-out from your departure themselves. In most cases they would probably leave this up to your successor to communicate and if they don't have anyone in place, they would not want to leave their clients feeling vulnerable. I have seen clients wait 6 months before properly communicating staff departures because losing a key member of staff can reflect badly on them.
As stated above, I have also handled situations where former employees have sent out bulk emails to their clients thanking them etc and advising them of personal contact details. These former employees were often prevented from working for their new employer (if a competitor) and in some cases, prevented from working in the industry through legal action raised against them.
My advice would be to speak to your employer and if they are happy for you to send out correspondence to your clients thanking them for their business etc etc, to have this approved by your employer first, do not mention any reasons for leaving, send it from a work email address and do not attach any personal contacts.
To tell you the end of my own story - I agreed to a 12 month exclusion around my key client base which I kept to - unfortunately my clients tracked me down to my new company without any contact from me!
It sounds as though you all have good jobs to move onto, so I would leave on a good note and enjoy the fresh start! It can be sad leaving behind a solid client base but we all move on for good reason and you will build the same trust relationships with your new clients.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Chiefland's varsity volleyball team recovered from a first-game defeat to top Bronson 18-25, 25-18, 25-10, 25-13 last Thursday during the Eagles' homecoming week festivities.
Chiefland coach Tammy Arrington said that scheduling left the Indians feeling rushed when they arrived at Bronson, leaving them out of focus and scrambling to stay ahead.
But they regrouped in the second game, building easy 10-point leads in the final three games to seal the win.

'CNN Shame On You' Signs Appear in Cairo
It appears some Egyptians are not pleased with CNN's coverage of last week's coup.
According to numerous sources including CNN senior international correspondent Ben Wedeman, the following sign is appearing in the crowds in Tahrir square:
This picture shows two such signs and one protesting Barack Obama:
This appeared to start Wednesday when a petition surfaced at Causes.com called "CNN...shame on you":
To: CNN
You should be ashamed of yourself. Your coverage of the revolution was totally biased in favor of the MB, just like your Government.
MB of course stands for Muslim Brotherhood. At press time, 39,506 people had signed the petition.
This picture of CNN's logo merged with that of the Muslim Brotherhood seems to support this theory:
NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen observed Sunday:
Based on replies, the "shame on CNN' signs have their origin in CNN calling events a "coup" and a shot of Tahrir mislabeled pro-Morsi crowd.
— Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu) July 7, 2013
Blake Hounshell, the deputy editor of Politico, believes this CNN screenshot might be the culprit:
Notice the caption in the upper-right corner reading "Cairo/Pro-Morsy Pr..."
Whatever the cause, the anti-CNN sentiment has impacted Wedeman's reporting:
@sophiaponders I'd love to be but given the hysteria whipped up against cnn, to go there now would not be a wise move. Would you, seriously?
— benwedeman (@bencnn) July 7, 2013
@Metalloy @WaelNawara We did. But from a balcony what do you get? I want to be in crowd but w/"Shame on CNN" signs everywhere reception dark
— benwedeman (@bencnn) July 7, 2013
And the protests have moved to America. CNN's New York headquarters:
Funny how a station nobody watches can evoke so much ire.

Subject: [IABENTON-L] Baby A. Stocker
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 10:59:44 -0600
Good Morning folks!
I am looking for information, actual birth and death date, for a baby
born to Asa J. Stocker and Iva Ellen (Whipple) Stocker. According to
the 1910 census enumeration, this baby, Allen/Albin/Alvin or some other
similar A. name) was born in February 1910. Asa and Iva lived in
Vinton, IA (Benton County). This Stocker baby died anytime between 1910
and 1915. This death would have to be recorded somewhere wouldn't it?
There is nothing in Linn County and nothing was listed on the Iowa Death
C/D when asked? Any idea how I can find out when this little Stocker
was born and died?
