Congressman Steve Scalise today made the following statement regarding President Obama and the leaders of Britain and France demanding that Iran's secret nuclear fuel facility be opened to international inspectors.
"We must stop Iran from obtaining the capability to produce nuclear weapons. Iran's nuclear proliferation continues to be a threat to the United States, Israel, and the entire world. I am glad that President Obama recognizes Iran's nuclear threat, but we need to cut Iran off in the pocket-book by implementing real economic and trade sanctions.
"President Obama also needs to reconsider his decision to scrap the U.S. missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic. We need to renew our country's commitment to develop and deploy long-range missile defense system in Eastern Europe."
Scalise is a co-sponsor of several bills in Congress that would increase petroleum and financial sanctions against Iran and enhance international diplomatic efforts to end Iran's uranium enrichment program and its nuclear weapons program. Among the bills Scalise is a co-sponsor are the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act (HR 2194), the Iran Threat Reduction Act (HR 1208), and the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act (HR 1327).

Form works fine from desktop.
Embedded form running in WordPress; works fine and entire form is visible (i.e.., not a scrolling or height issue).

The Educational Theatre Collaborative (ETC) at Plymouth State College presents the world premiere of "Frindle," Jan. 23 through 27 at the Silver Cultural Arts Center.
Based on a book of the same name by Massachusetts author Andrew Clements (who will attend the Friday evening performance), Frindle was adapted for the stage by Trish Lindberg, associate professor of education and director of the M.Ed. Integrated Arts graduate program at Plymouth State College.
Lindberg, co-founder and artistic director of ETC, received the 1999 Governor's Arts and Education Award from the N.H. State Council on the Arts. Her 2000 production, "Mail to the Chief," presented 44 New Hampshire children on stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
Frindle is set in a small New Hampshire town and tells the tale of 10-year-old Nick, who pushes the limits at every opportunity to the exasperation of his teacher, Mrs. Granger. His antics are not malicious, but rather inventive and creative. Nick coins a new word in an attempt to turn Mrs. Granger's love of the dictionary around on her. He gets all his classmates to use the word "Frindle" instead of "pen."
Nick's effort to make "frindle" a recognized word excites the whole community and even gets some national publicity. Most amazing of all,"frindle" actually becomes an official entry in the dictionary, and Nick comes to realize the power of language and how inspired he's been by Mrs. Granger's passion for vocabulary.
Adam Walton of Warner plays Nick. Adam is well known by Concord area audiences for his many performances with the Concord Players, including last year's production of "The Hobbit." Adam is also a regular with the Kearsarge Arts Theatre in New London, also directed by Lindberg, and acted in "Mail to the Chief."
PSC Assistant Professor of Acting, Beth Cox, play Mrs. Granger. Cox holds a B.A. degree in Speech and Dramatic Art and an M.Ed. in Rehabilitation Counseling/Deafness from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She also holds an M.F.A. in Acting from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, where she taught acting and drama appreciation. In addition to performances at Plymouth State College, her professional work includes video and voice-over work for several popular children's stories.
Nick's parents are played by Plymouth Chief of Police, Tony Raymond, and Melody Funk of Rumney, both ETC veterans.
ETC is a joint venture of Plymouth State College, Plymouth Elementary School, and Friends of the Arts and is a two-time winner of the Moss Hart Award for excellence in community theatre.
This year's production, the eighth for ETC, includes an intergenerational cast of more than 50 community members, elementary school and college students, and PSC faculty and staff from many area towns.
A family preview performance of Frindle will be held at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 23 General public performances are Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $8 – $12 at the Silver Cultural Arts Center Box Office, (603-535-ARTS) Monday through Friday, noon. to 6 p.m. If special accommodations are needed for people with disabilities, please call in advance.
"Frindle" is presented by special permission from Simon and Schuster and Screaming Mama Pictures.

Pets are not specifically protected under the RLTA. Some landlords will allow them, others will not. If your pet is addressed in your lease and you paid money to be allowed to have your pet with you, then what changed between the time they said yes and now? Did they have you describe your pet in your lease, but the pet you brought is not the same? Did your pet behave badly?

As he gave the order, his siblings dispersed and engaged with their selected opponent. Marcus squared off with the thief on the far right. The others should be able to handle a single thief. Even if they didn't belong to the Sword sector, and for the most part weren't fighters by trade, there was no sign that their opponents had any real impressive skillsets. Besides, they were of the de Telarius family. Even Flint, whom Marcus held so lowly, was probably leagues ahead of any of these criminals.
The thief he squared off with was probably a good head shoulder than Marcus, and not particularly muscularly developed. He was probably in his early twenties, maybe even a bit younger. He didn't seem like much of the fighter type to begin with. Yet despite this, his face was marked with a grin of overconfidence and poise. Marcus found the gesture interesting, mainly for the reason that he had become quite intimately known to most criminals on Regalo for his...strict, borderline dictatorial observance of the law (particularly with matters concerned of his sector of defense), and harsh penalties he imposed on those who did not comply to the rules. But of course, Marcus concluded that perhaps and most likely, these thieves weren't even from Regalo, hence the destination overseas.
For those that did know of Marcus, his most recognizable feature was that of his golden gauntlets. He wasn't exactly sure what first compelled him to put them on those many years ago. They were a gift from a distant family relative intended for the de Telarius armory. Besides being of the most durable design, they held no significant complementary power to his own Arcana card. Yet for many since his initial debut with the gauntlets, they have become a symbol of his sense of justice and strength, despite the source not coming from the gauntlets themselves. They have also added a heightened dimension of fear to many enemies, as no way in hell did anyone want to be punched by Marcus while he wore those. In other words, the very appearance of the gauntlets upon the hands of Marcus that became frightening. Many have since come up with many telling tales involving the gauntlets, including the perception and comparison of Marcus to that of a knight in medieval times, some going as far as giving Marcus the moniker of the 'Knight of Regalo'.
Marcus seemed to have been able to wait forever for the thief to make his move. He didn't like much to strike first (unless the situation demanded for it), preferring instead to give his enemy a sort of symbolic one last chance to turn around or to surrender. As the thief stepped forward and prepped himself to attack, any chance he got was thrown out the window. Armed with a rather long knife, the thief approached Marcus and began swinging the knife around wildly, probably as a scare tactic, before extending his arm forward and thrust to knife at him. Marcus took a pace to the left and sidestepped the knife with such a effortlessness, it almost appeared comical. Before the thief even knew what happened, Marcus lifted his left arm, and connected his gauntlet-covered fist with the man's face. At the point of impact the deep snapping and cracking of bone was heard, and the force of his punch sent the man straight onto the deck. He didn't make a sound of protest, nor did he whine, screech in pain, or cry. He simply lay right where his body had dropped, blood oozing from the point of impact on his face, and any expectation of an extended fight was ended in a few mere seconds.
Marcus walked over to the thief, lingering over his unconscious for a moment. He wondered what compelled someone so young, perhaps so promising he did not know, to commit a crime. He couldn't understand it. Strict observance of the law wasn't so difficult. Yet once greed, desperation, or anger kicked in, most senses of duty, uprightness, law-abiding nature was suddenly put aside. This was the inevitable result. Marcus firmly believed that. Eventually, all criminals were caught, and all crimes were punished.
As Marcus turned his attention to his siblings, one of them, Beck, shouted for his aid.
"M-marcus!! H-help!!"
The eldest de Telarius sibling immediately reacted, coming to the aid of his youngest brother. As the larger thief choked Beck, Marcus came in from behind, grabbing the man by his shirt, and, using his superior strength, tossing him off of his younger brother. The man let go of Beck's neck, and was hurled about two meters to the adjacent side of the ship, crashing into a few barrels on the top deck. Marcus did not say anything to Beck, but merely gave him a look. It wasn't exactly one of disappointment, well perhaps it partially was. It was a look Beck was accustomed to seeing from Marcus from time to time, in it he could say everything that could be said in much more words. Most perceptibly, it was a look that said to Beck that Marcus expected more out of him than this. Yes, he wasn't in the Sword sector of La Famiglia like Marcus was, but Marcus set a higher standard upon his siblings to perform at a peak level he never placed on anyone else. Being of the de Telarius family meant that such high precision was expected of them, in Marcus's opinion, and he expected them to adhere to that.
As the larger thief recovered from Marcus's initial toss, Marcus turned away from his sibling to engage back with the man. He seemed angry. Pulling out his rather large sword, he charged forward. Marcus held his ground. The man swung his sword wildly, hoping some of his hits would slash at his opponent, but as he got closer, Marcus lifted his fists and prepared to engage back. The first clank of metal was heard as his gauntlets met with the man's large sword. The larger man tried to use all of his might to try and force the blade down, but Marcus's gauntlets didn't budge. He was confused, but continued to try and force it down, sweaty protruding off of his body intensely. Marcus, on the other hand, maintained a look of dispassionate tranquility. Inhaling a deep breath, he force his gauntlets forward, now meeting the forward push of the thief, causing the blade to break in half, much to the wide surprise of the thief. Before he could give any other reaction, Marcus lifted a fist and connected it with the man's face, the resulting sound of a crack to follow, followed by blood from his nose. A second punch was brought to his ribs, producing an equally potent, if not more so, crack, and this was followed by a third punch as an under hit straight at the man's chin, elevating him off of the ground and hurling backwards, causing all manner of broken items on the ship. With both of his opponents no doubt down for the count, Marcus took out a small handkerchief and extracted any blood or dirt that found its way onto his gauntlets. Wiping away any marks on them, he returned them to their shining, flawless form, and watched to see if the others had dealt with their part. He took out his pocket watch in his pocket, always mindful of events ahead, keeping an eye on the time to make sure they weren't late for tonight's ball.
A Legend once told me that roleplaying is about bringing people together and celebrating creative vision.

There will be a distinct Delhi flavour to Wednesday's clash between Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium here, over 1,200 kilometres from the Capital.
The Daredevils' success will once again depend to an extent on whether Virender Sehwag can fire or not. Those planning to thwart him include men who have been his Delhi teammates for over a decade now — KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir, assistant coach Vijay Dahiya and seasoned all-rounder Rajat Bhatia.
Delhi are in a desperate situation, with David Warner admitting after their victory in the previous game against Pune Warriors that " every match is a semi- final for us from now on". They have just two wins out of nine, and even an all- win record in the seven subsequent matches will only put them in contention for a play- off spot, not guarantee it.
Warner's attacking halfcentury and some good support from Kedar Jadhav on Sunday drew the attention away from Delhi's top- order woes, but at least on the bowling front, they were good. They have to step up their fielding effort, though.
Kolkata, with three wins out of nine, are only slightly better off. While Gambhir has been in terrific form and has had good support in the form of Eoin Morgan, but the rest of the batting has rarely clicked in unison, as the skipper admitted at the prematch press conference.
"My concern is the form of the whole team. In a long tournament like the IPL, you will find that there will be some players who would hit form during the initial phases while there will be some who make a comeback during the last phase. We have a lot of faith and trust in Yusuf," he said when asked if he was worried about Yusuf Pathan's abject failure with the bat.
"After the Chennai game, I came to know we need to win at least five out of seven matches in order to qualify. We need to play some good cricket consistently, which we haven't been doing. We don't want to be in Delhi's situation where you need to win all the matches." KKR's bowling is heavily dependent on spinners Sunil Narine and Sachithra Senanayake, which will lead to a selection headache on a pitch which has good pace and bounce. However, KKR might be tempted to persist with their strength, given the 80- plus yard boundaries.
Asked whether Brett Lee could make it back to the playing XI, Gambhir kept his cards close to his chest. " The best XI will be playing for KKR and if Brett Lee fits in that XI, he will play," he said guardedly.

I'm looking forward with great excitement (and nail chewing) to the release of my very first novel, Revenge of the Parson's Daughter, Or The Lass that Loved a Pirate. One of the best things about writing it was that I got to borrow from some of my favorite literature, including Georgette Heyer and Robert Louis Stevenson. Much as I love Treasure Island, though, my pirates definitely owe less to R.L.S. and more to G. and S. That would be [William] Gilbert (words) and [Arthur] Sullivan (music), the team that created over a dozen wonderful shows that combine social satire, general silliness, and beautiful music.
I've been sold on Gilbert and Sullivan since I saw HMS Pinafore, or The Lass that Loved a Sailor (yes, that's where I cribbed my subtitle from) on TV when I was 12. I'm a huge musical theater fan anyway, but Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas are my favorites because they're so much fun.
So, some of you are probably wondering, "What's an operetta?" Well, it's sort of a cross between a junior opera and a musical.
- An operetta isn't really an opera.
- Operas tend to be longer, have little spoken dialogue, and nowadays at least are considered serious music (they used to cause riots).
- Many operas are tragic, with the doomed soprano singing beautifully right to the end despite dying of tuberculosis or being buried alive with the tenor she loves (duet!). Operettas are never tragic, although once in a rare while the romantic leads don't end up together.
- Operettas aren't exactly musicals, either.
- Operettas are never serious. Although many musicals are light-hearted (Oklahoma, Xanadu), they sometimes tackle intense subjects (racism, gangs, homophobia).
- Older musicals get revived all the time, but aside from an occasional Die Fledermaus or Merry Widow, operettas are rarely performed anymore.
Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas are still alive and well. If you've never seen one, you're definitely missing out.
For one thing, they're hilarious (although some of the more obscure Victorian references slide by a modern audience). Most of the humor is timeless, poking fun at pompous, self-important people—unqualified top execs, phony-baloney artistes—and the kind of folly we all engage in from time to time (pretending to be someone you're not, going to extremes to attract romantic attention). There's always lots of general silliness—ship captains who don't want to offend their sailors by swearing, a place where flirting carries a death sentence, and so on. Plots get resolved by such realistic devices as (spoiler) a revelation that the tenor and baritone were switched at birth (even though the tenor is in love with, and is always played by an actor the same age as, the baritone's daughter).
Along the way, Gilbert and Sullivan point out the flaws and foibles of the navy, the army, the art world, public education, parliament, the legal system, class divisions, arbitrary moral standards, and the lady novelist (who, if you believe the song, "never would be missed").
Well, it seems that this particular lady novelist gleaned rather a lot from The Pirates of Penzance, although I swear it wasn't deliberate (mostly). The Penzance pirates are basically good guys, and so are mine; both crews have about as much in common with actual sea robbers as the "Very Model of a Modern Major General" has with real soldiers.
My guys would fit right in onstage, chiming in with "Hurrah for a Pirate King" and singing happily about a "first rate opportunity to get married with impunity," although they wouldn't be much interested in the Major General's daughters. The chorus of policemen, on the other hand, would be right up their alley.
My favorite version of Pirates of Penzance was put on by the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington about ten years ago. Of course all the roles were played by men, and they sang the women's parts an octave down, except for Mabel, the lead. Mabel is an extremely challenging role—it's really a coloratura part—but somehow they found a man who could sing Mabel in the original key. Sadly, I don't remember his name, but I do remember that he was fabulous. [I must confess, though, that the most memorable thing was intermission. The line for the men's room ran for miles, but there was NO line for the women's restroom. It was almost surreal, being able to walk right in.]
So—why not give Gilbert and Sullivan a try? I've got some video suggestions, but if you can, see a show live. Nothing beats live theater.
The Story of Gilbert and Sullivan is a classic biopic with songs from many of their shows—sort of a "greatest hits."
Topsy-Turvy is about the original production of The Mikado, their most successful work.
The Pirates of Penzance (based on Joseph Papp's Broadway production) has a great cast, including Kevin Kline, Angela Lansbury, Rex Smith, and Linda Rondstat.
Ruddigore, a parody of Gothic melodrama, is my favorite, but it's not well known because it followed The Mikado and suffered by comparison—as anything would have. I especially love this version because it features Vincent Price, who chews the scenery with great verve. Plus he's a good 20 years older than the actor playing his supposedly older brother. With Gilbert and Sullivan, that just adds to the fun.

Review by ShortyThePimp87
"How Could A Free Game Be So Addicting?"
To begin this review, I have to state that I'm not usually into these types of games. However, after having played Diablo and, for the most part, doing everything that one can do I decided to search for similar games. What I came across was a little game known as Maple Story. It looked interesting enough so I downloaded it and began to play. What I encountered was way more entertaining than what I expected from a game that was free to download and play. Any gamer that likes the RPG or Hack-and-Slash genre will love this game's gameplay, and to boost, it's an immersive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) which will let gamers interact with thousands of other like-minded gamers at a time.
Graphics: Upon first glance, all a gamer will see is cutesy big-headed little kids running around killing mushrooms, snails, and such things one would find in a garden, with their little razors or wands. This game seems very much aimed at a younger audience graphics-wise. However, as I became more immersed in the Maple Story world I began to grow in love with those cute little characters I call my own and the animations will really put a smile on any sore person's face. The graphics make gamers of any age, from the young ones, to teenagers, to adults feel a sense of innocence and compassion. I never knew such a cute looking game could make me smile instead of making me feel ashamed to be playing it.
Gameplay: The gameplay revolves around walking around and killing monsters, for their drops i.e mesos, items, and most importantly, experience. Mesos can be used to buy items in stores to make your character more powerful. Players can also embark on quests that will reward them with new items or experience points that help them level. Some jobs even require teamwork and players can easily do that by partying with their friends to take down an enemy together and share the rewards. Players that level in a party get the advantage of sharing in any mesos their party members pick up and also share a bit of the experience. This also makes killing much easier to do in a big group. There is even a friends list for players to add their friends and message them anytime they want to talk to them. However, there are 5 different realms counting the newest one from the patch that will spread players out depending on their preference for which realm they want to play on. Players can even build up guilds in alliance with players they truly trust and become a recognizable group other players will recognize throughout the Maple World. They can even recruit new members if they feel the need. But, in order for players to do all this they will need to maintain a decent character level to contribute and each character class is able to help out in different ways. As players level their characters, they will be able to assign the characters to one of four jobs. The jobs include Warrior, Magician, Thief, and Bowman and all have their own unique traits. I will further break down the character choices later in the review. The stat distribution and skill distribution can determine how effective your character performs, such as how a Magician wouldn't need a whole bunch of strength to kill since they stand back and cast magic. This adds a great deal of depth and strategy one wouldn't realize could be apparent in such a cute game. Now let me break down the four character classes and their gameplay differences.
Warrior: Warriors are strong characters that use big weapons and wear heavy, thick, metallic armor. They are mainly melee characters that rush into battle and destroy everything with the slash of their sword. Great for characters who want to be a leader and be the first to fight. They can usually withstand their own even when facing a big group of enemies since they act as a sort of tank.
Magician: Magicians are powerful magic casters that stand back and cast spells on enemies. They have an extended list of spells to choose from and can even add elements to their spells such as fire, ice, lightning, to name a few. Just don't expect your Magician to run into the middle of a pack of enemies and survive.
Thief: Thiefs have both characteristics of a Warrior and Magician. They use melee attacks and therefore, hack-and-slash their way through an enemy mob. However, they have some element of magical damage to some of their attacks and they are faster and more nimble than their Warrior counterparts. They are less likely to survive a bombardement of enemies, but at the same time, they can stand back, within a fair distance, and still attack instead of being in the middle of things.
Bowman: The Bowman can be compared to a Magician in their stand-back-and-fire fighting tactic. However, instead of using magic they use bows/crossbows and arrows to launch their vicious attacks on unsuspecting monsters. They can handle their own in a pack better than most Magicians though.
The Maple Store: Here players use their money through PayPal to buy items in the store and make theirs characters more unique than others. One of my favorite things is the constant updates on new items in the store and the themes they have. Each holiday season, Maple players can be treated to new surprises in the type of items available. These items aren't just for appearance, however. They can also have many effects that aid a player in their quests, to kill monsters, or just some effects that are meant solely to have fun with and enjoy, which is what this game is all about.
Overall, this game is great on so many levels. It has the cutest graphics (and I mean that in a good way), it is great for meeting new people and making new friends, and it's deep and immersive beyond what most games today are. It also combines two unlike elements of RPG and Hack-and-Slash and pulls it off quite nicely in my opinion. With a game that's free and so in-depth, I admit I would honestly go out and buy this game even if it weren't free. After reading my review I hope to see a few of you on Maple Story soon. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the Maple World.

White Chocolate Pizza Bites
We developed a tantalizing sweet and savory delight! Melted white chocolate candy (as always we used the fabulous Make'n Mold vanilla wafers) and whole wheat crackers make your pizza base. Then, we topped them with delicious dried tomato bits by Snapz and some amazing crystallized basil herb pieces from Fresh Origins.
Now you have a sweet mini Margherita pizza with a twist. Sweet or Savory? How about both?

M&M's Cake Pops
I started the year right with some M&M's Cake Pops. We used chocolate cake so that the inside was as brown as the real ones. We had a fun time making the little lentil shapes and if you can make a hamburger patty you can make an M&M's pop too!
Before our discs were dipped in candy wafers Caroline here likened them to to flying saucers. Those may be made in the very near future but in a galaxy far, far...
Of course, we used Make'n Mold Candy Wafers simply because they are the BEST CANDY WAFERS ever.
Amazingly, Make'n Mold colors can be mixed to make a perfect M&M's color match. If you send an email, I will give you the exact recipe for the colors but you must promise to always use Make'n Mold wafers or your won't get satisfying results.
To create the "M" stencil, simply fold clear plastic packing tape over itself so that you have a firm piece of non-sticky plastic. Then, using an Exacto knife, cut out your "M" shape. Follow this link to find the M logo.
Using a paint brush and your M stencil, dab on powdered sugar when the pops are candy covered and cooled.
Enjoy and Happy New Year!

You bought your Eclipse because its fuel efficiency and economical pricing struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Mitsubishi automobile drivers have become used to a certain level of a variety of features and options when driving their Eclipse around town. Anyone who drives a Mitsubishi knows that when it comes to maintaining their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do. Auto enthusiasts know that dependability is built into each Mitsubishi, and understand that only the best replacement Eclipse parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
The thousands upon thousands of revolutions our engines make each day would eventually tear them apart without lubrication. Oil filters have been around for almost 100 years, and your Mitsubishi Eclipse engine still uses the technology that is derived from this early invention. Your Mitsubishi Eclipse oil filter separates the engine oil and the debris that normally flows through it so that the engine can continue to remain lubricated. Without this process being performed by your oil filter, the engine oil would become increasingly dirty, highly viscous, and ineffective.
Procuring new Mitsubishi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Eclipse parts on the internet. Don't let a broken Oil Filter bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best repair parts. When your Mitsubishi needs the best replacement Oil Filter, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Mitsubishi Eclipse Oil Filter parts for 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Stellarvue R50D Dual Ring Dovetail Stalk 50-60mm Finderscope Mount
Are you interested in mounting a 50-60mm Stellarvue finder scope to an imported reflector or Chinese focuser? This is the accessory for you. The 1- 3/16" wide dovetail base fits most dovetail shoes found on Chinese focusers (like the ED80) and import reflectors and will work in dovetail bases that are this size and wider at the base. Simply attach the quick release dovetail base, insert your finderscope and secure with the non-marring nylon-tipped stainless steel collimation bolts. Once the optics are aligned, you just use the quick release feature at the end of your observing session and the dual ring assembly keeps your collimation secure for the next use. Finderscope sold separately.

- exercise in frustration!
This item is one to be avoided!! I installed a Stellarvue F50M 9x50 finder on it and it took me ages to align the finder with my 12 dob!! The 6 screw system makes the whole thing VERY difficult to align. Cannot be centered easily and it makes the finder slip sometimes if you forget to tighten one of the screws! I cannot believe they are still producing this total failure of a system..The original cylinder bracket that came along with the dob is MUCH better BUT the F50M won't fit inside the cylinder so i HAD to use that silly 6 screw system. I am planning to get rid of it the soonest possible! Don't mess with it, it will get to your nerves!
1= Houston, We Have a Problem & 5= It's Out of This World
I purchased this finder bracket for a Celestron C102mm wide view spotting scope I own. Very pleased with the purchase. Excellent overall quality, all metal construction. Quick release
feature maintains collimation as advertised. This is made to mount up to a 60mm finder. I mounted a 50mm scope in this but very much like the extra wiggle room I had with the 6 long set screws. Made alignment a snap. I purchased this across the counter at OPT. Staff was very helpful, allowing me to check the fit of the base on a C102 they had on the floor prior to puchase. Thanks again.

Were you impressed with the special effects of Jurassic World? Now watch similar special effects in 'Baahubali'! S.S. Rajamouli's Baahubali, India's largest motion picture is made on a magnificent scale and is already a talk of the town for its grandeur.
The makers have made use of highly advanced technology for this movie. The VFX and special effects of the film are on a different level altogether, nothing less than the scale of any Hollywood film.
In fact, few members of the Jurassic World crew are also a part of the 'Baahubali' crew.
Thus, the kind of special effects seen in both films will be on the same scale.
'Baahubali' is the first ever Indian film that transcends regional boundaries and has a pan-India appeal. Its trailer has received a tremendous response from the audience and the first looks has already created a lot of buzz around.
The film has an ensemble cast comprising of Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishnan, Sathyaraj, Nassar, Adivi Sesh, Tanikella Bharani and Sudeep. It will hit the big screens on 10th July, 2015.

Great Rotations
10 clinical rotations and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience in the field later, Pace nursing student Maria Lemmey '14 is ready for the real world.
For Maria Lemmey '14, preparing for a career in nursing has never been easier—or harder for that matter—through Pace's Nursing Program. This spring, Lemmey will have completed 10 clinical rotations by the time she graduates, totaling about 1,000 hours of hands-on experience in the field.
"It has definitely been difficult, and it requires a lot of dedication, but I have loved every minute of it. I've gotten such great clinical experience from all of the hospitals that I've been at," says Lemmey.
But Lemmey hadn't always planned to become a nurse. Like many high school seniors, she was unsure of her career path. However, after volunteering at a nursing home as part of her honors society requirements, she became inspired by working with patients in the activities department. That's when she found Pace.
Various research and sources had recommended Pace to Lemmey for its Nursing Program. As part of the curriculum, students like Lemmey are required to complete 10 clinical rotations in areas such as geriatric, psychiatric, medical-surgical, and pediatric nursing, as well as many others.
So far, she's completed eight rotations in seven different medical centers and hospitals including Lawrence Hospital Center, New York Presbyterian, Phelps Memorial Hospital, Westchester Medical Center, White Plains Hospital, Blythedale Children's Hospital, and Montefiore Medical Center. This semester, Lemmey will complete her curriculum with a community rotation at the Visiting Nurses Association in Tarrytown and at Ben Franklin Elementary School, and a preceptorship at the Veteran Affairs Medical Center in New York City.
She says that switching locations for her clinical rotations has been beneficial in exposing her to the various nursing settings and getting a feel for what kind of environment she'd like to work in upon graduation. "There are so many options in terms of where you can go for clinical and that opens up your eyes to the many and different opportunities," she says. "Don't limit yourself to just one or two of the same hospitals. You want to get that exposure at different sites," she advises.
Similarly, Lemmey says that keeping an open mind to various nursing areas through each rotation has been beneficial as well. Originally interested in pediatrics, the rotations have introduced her to and piqued her interest in emergency nursing, NICU, and other specialties. Lemmey now plans to begin her career in a medical-surgical setting.
But no matter what specialty she ultimately chooses after graduation, she says that Pace has given her the tools to get there. "I've spoken to other people that are in different nursing programs, and Pace has a very rigorous program, which makes it stand out from the rest. I feel extremely confident that my education at Pace has prepared me for the [National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX)] and beginning my career," she says.

There's nothing like realizing you've never made pizza.
Sure, I've made my share of "quick, one-hour" pizzas, but it wasn't until I read The Pizza Bible–by Tony Gemignani–that I realized I'd never made real pizza. Funny thing about blind spots, my dad says, is you can't see them and, until that fated hour, pizza was one of my cooking blind spots.
My sister and I were reading one afternoon when, all of a sudden, I started to swear. Elise (my sister) looked up– confused–and asked me what was wrong, to which I replied: "I've never made real pizza." I then babbled incoherently about fermentation and gluten networks, reveling in my newly-found knowledge.
It was, in a word, euphoric. You see, I love pizza. No, not like you love pizza. I mean, I love pizza. It's what I want on the best and worst of days, with some wine on the couch. And, turns out, it's simple to make gourmet pizza at home.
Tony Gemignani begins The Pizza Bible by explaining the theory behind his pizzas and ends with some fabulous recipes. My favorite is the Cal-Italia: a ménage à trois of mozzarella, asiago and gorgonzola, topped with proscuitto, fig jam and a balsamic reduction.
I finished the book and immediately wanted to make pizza dough, so job well done, Mr. World Champion. However, the list of necessary materials was daunting, so I didn't try out Gemignani's master pizza dough until months later, after Christmas left me with a second stone, a dough scraper and a peel.
Armed with the basic necessities on Gemignani's list, I made the investment in some high-protein flour and a gram scale.
So, if you read The Pizza Bible and find yourself thinking: "Gee Tony, this is great, but I'm not getting all that extra stuff," know you are not alone. And while you do need some of that stuff, after making the master dough many times, I can pare down the list for you. One can get by with a second stone, a gram scale and a pizza peel. Now, the process might be easier if you follow all of Gemignani's suggestions, but at least add those three items to your arsenal.
My only other criticism, besides the daunting shopping list, would be that The Pizza Bible lacks a gluten-free recipe. Tony says a great gluten-free crust can be achieved, but it's complicated and that's why he included alternative flour recipes instead.
I'm not really in with the pizzaiolo world, so before The Pizza Bible, I'd never heard of Gemignani. Shortly thereafter, I learned that the head chef of a local pizzeria–Andolini's–was certified at Tony Gemignani's school. (Which makes sense: the crusts are quite similar. So for you Tulsa people, yes, it's pretty much like your kitchen is Andolini's.
It's trendy right now for a cookbook to be narrowly focused: it's an egg cookbook. Or a kale cookbook. Or the cookbook promises to finally explain what harissa is. And while that's not my preference, this is one hyper-specific cookbook that I recommend. It's indispensable for all the readers who think they love pizza as much as I do. (I mean, you're probably wrong, but it's cute that you think that.)
Reading The Pizza Bible was truly a religious experience for this prodigal son. (Sorry guys, I had to.)
- 453 grams high protein flour (you'll need 13%-15% protein, I use King Arthur Bread Flour or order Antimo Caputo through Amazon)
- 4.5 grams active dry yeast
- 9 grams diastatic malt (optional, I don't use it)
- 9 grams fine sea salt
- 5 grams extra virgin olive oil
- 225 grams ice water
- 70 grams lukewarm water
- Measure out all your ingredients using a gram scale.
- Proof the yeast in the lukewarm water for about 5 minutes, until it is foamy and smells like it will become bread.
- If you're using malt, add it to the flour at this point. I don't use it because when I looked online, the shipping cost exceeded the cost of the actual product. But the malt helps the pizza brown to a rich golden and adds a slightly nutty flavor, so if you can get a hold of it, I'd recommend trying it out.
- If not using malt, just add the ice water to the flour and stir a few times.
- Then add the yeast and lukewarm water mixture to the flour.
- Start to work the dough with your hands, rotating and pressing it into a single mass. If the dough is crumbly or dry, add tiny amounts of water until all the crumbs are incorporated.
- Work in the salt, as you continue to mix the dough.
- Finally, add the oil and continue to mix.
- Now, you need to knead it a little more. I do this on a clean, slightly floured counter top: take out the dough ball and place it on your counter. As you push the dough towards you with your left hand, push your right hand into the dough at a 45 degree angle, while rotating the dough through this pushing motion. If the dough didn't exist, you'd be pushing your right palm into your left hand and moving both in a circular motion. Use the counter top, pushing down towards it, into your left hand. The smooth surface will help the dough become smooth and solid.
- The dough may have a couple bumps after 2-3 minutes of the above step, but that's okay. Curb your urge to over-knead and put the dough ball in a clean, oiled bowl and let it rise at room temperature for about an hour, covered with a slightly damp towel.
- The dough won't double in bulk, but it'll be noticeably larger. If you want to ferment the dough for two days, moisten the surface of the dough with a few drops of water and refrigerate for 24 hours. Make sure it has room to rise, by 25 to 50 percent. If you want to speed up the process, skip to the next step.
- After an hour's rise, carefully remove the dough from the bowl to degas. The yeast is activated and a gluten network is forming, so don't rip, smash or otherwise manhandle the dough. I usually push on the dough in the bowl to deflate it and then pick it up, quickly moving it to rest on the counter. Tony weighs his dough exactly, but I just half the dough at this point and form balls with it. When you're forming the balls, you'll want to carefully fold the disk of dough into halves, then pinch the ends to create a seal, repeating this motion a couple times until the dough is a tight ball. If it happens to rip, pinch the rip to seal the dough again. You should end up with two smooth balls of dough, any seam or edge tucked underneath the ball.
- Ferment the two balls on a cookie sheet covered in parchment (the dough will get sticky), wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and foil over that, if you want to go all out. This should happen overnight, or for 24 hours. (And that's another 24 hours, if you chose to do the bulk fermenting step before balling the dough.)
- You'll want to take the dough out of the fridge at the same time you heat the oven, about an hour before you want to make the pizza. Let the dough sit out wrapped, until it comes to room temperature.
- Once you're ready to make the pizza, have your ingredients ready and heat up your oven as hot as it will go (with the stones inside) for about an hour. I use that hour to prep my sauces and toppings, then shape my dough right before I am ready to bake.
- To form the pizza dough, carefully peel back the plastic and separate the dough balls. I use a metal cutter, but you could use a spatula or something with a good edge to achieve the same result. After the disks are separated, carefully lift them off the pan onto your floured counter top. I use a mixture of the bread flour and fine cornmeal to dust the dough, in an effort to mimic a semolina texture.
- Flatten the dough into a smooth, circular disk and push about an inch inside the edge all around the circle, to create the crust. Continue pressing the dough to widen the circle, without smashing the outside rim.
- I typically get the inside of the crust pressed out thin (as thin as possible, without causing the dough to tear or rip), then lift the dough onto my hands and stretch it out, moving my fists from the center of the dough to the outside, while gently turning the dough. It's going to feel like you're tossing and stretching the dough at the same time; you'll feel like a world champion.
- I then place the dough on a lightly floured pizza peel and top the pizza, working quickly to make sure it doesn't stick to the peel.
- Bake at 450 to 500 degrees (on your top rack stone) for 6 minutes, but be wary, because every oven is different. You'll want to transfer the dough (to the bottom stone) when the crust is beginning to brown and the cheese is melted, but not brown. Bake for about 5 minutes after transferring the pizza to the bottom stone.
- Remove from the oven when the cheese is golden brown. The bottom of the crust should lift easily and be evenly browned. Let it rest for about 5 minutes, then slice and let it rest a little more if the cheese is still runny.
- Top with any finishing ingredients and serve (I let mine rest on a big wooden cutting board and serve directly from it).
- If you're making a second pizza, make sure you give your stones a quick brush over the sink before returning them to the hot oven. You don't want nasty burnt flour on the bottom of your second pizza after all that work.
- If I am making a second pizza (one pizza will feed 2-3 people), I prep the second while the first is baking, so that I can heat the first while it is hot and the second is baking. Pro tip.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes: 1) You're going to have to plan ahead if you want to make real pizza. If that's bad news for you and your cluttered existence, the good news is that this master dough is a breeze to throw together before you go to bed. You can also skip the bulk fermenting and use the dough the next evening. 2) I have been using King Arthur's bread flour and it works well in the master dough recipe. I couldn't find any of Gemignani's flour suggestions, even in Whole Foods, so I looked instead for the right percentage. You want a flour that's 12%-14% protein. 3) Use good ingredients: the right percentage flour, filtered water, fresh olive oil, real sea salt, etc. There aren't many ingredients, so there's no where for bad-tasting ingredients to hide. 4) I love experimenting and making the pizzas special by adding what Gemignani calls "finish line ingredients." Pictured above is parsley and garlic gremolata on a pepperoni pizza and fried leeks on a venison and morel pizza (with a white truffle bechamel!). 5) The more you make this dough, the easier it gets. If you need more clarification on the steps, check out this recipe (which you can make without the starter). And here's a video of Gemignani on YouTube (where you can find many more). You should also visit Gemignani's website and order the book, because you need the Cal-Italia in your life.

Four years after his father died a hero's death fighting a fire, Tim Ginocchetti was behind bars for killing his mother. How one tragedy led to another is a true story that puts a horrifying twist on the familiar one of bullied gay teens. In this case, the bully was the teen's own mother, and instead of harming himself he killed her in a momentary but irreversible explosion of rage.
God's Nobodies, written by veteran crime reporter Mark Obbie, exposes the destruction of a meek young man whose only refuge was a childlike fantasy world of his own imagination. His family's blind obedience to their minister compounded the losses, first by turning Pam Ginocchetti against her son, and then by turning the rest of Tim's family against his loving grandmother - the one person brave enough to take a stand for forgiveness and truth after Pam's death.
Through a searing and heartbreaking true-crime narrative, God's Nobodies teaches profound lessons about tolerance and the human spirit's yearning for independence.
Crime reporter Mark Obbie chronicles the true story of the improbable murder of Pam Ginochetti by her meek, frail son Tim. Flipping the script of most tragic tales of young gay men, Tim expresses his violence not towards himself but to his greatest bully: his overbearing mother. Scott Aiello's dynamic performance enhances Obbie's in-depth research of the circumstances surrounding the Ginochetti saga, including the fervent religious community that clashes with Tim's inner turmoil, and the brave but lonely support that Tim's grandmother gives him. God's Nobodies is a fascinating and heartbreaking true-crime narrative.

The BP First Take
Thursday, December 1
The Angels, making a smart trade to acquire an undervalued catcher? What is this, the Bizarro World?
Apparently so, as new GM Jerry DiPoto made acquiring Chris Iannetta from the Rockies for Tyler Chatwood his first order of business in Anaheim. Angels fans will be happy to find that Iannetta—a patient power hitter, albeit with holes in his swing—has some Mike Napoli to his game. While he's unlikely to replicate the 6.0 WARP season Napoli delivered for Texas, Iannetta should vastly improve on the lowly .192/.252/.302 triple-slash Halos catchers put up.
But the impressive thing about this trade for the Angels is that they didn't give up anyone they're likely to miss. Chatwood was rushed to the majors to fill a dire need in the rotation last season, and his 4.93 FIP" data-scaytid="13">FIP clearly showed that more seasoning in the upper minors is in order. However, Chatwood lacks both the stuff and the in-zone command to miss many bats, so his ceiling—even if all goes right—is just sticking toward the back of a rotation.
The Angels' ballpark enables them to turn garden-variety prospects and past-their-prime veterans into serviceable No. 4 or No. 5 starters. With Peter Bourjos and Mike Trout manning the outfield, fly balls are almost as fruitful for pitchers as swings and misses. So, while losing five years of Chatwood isn't ideal, DiPoto should have no trouble replacing him with a veteran for at most a short-term deal worth $3-4 million annually. The upgrade from Jeff Mathis to Iannetta makes that extra cost worthwhile.
That's not to say the Rockies were fleeced, however. Colorado immediately signed Ramon Hernandez to a bargain two-year, $6.4 million deal that he should have no trouble outplaying. Though durability is becoming a problem for Hernandez, he's more than capable of holding down the fort until top prospect Wilin Rosario is ready to handle the job.
Coors Field is not an ideal landing spot for a contact pitcher like Chatwood, but being in the NL should help offset the change in ballparks. He also induces enough ground balls to be effective if he can keep the ball down.
With most trades, it's easy to predict a winner and loser. The Napoli-for-Vernon Wells swap took that to an absurd extreme. This deal is on the opposite end of the spectrum—it seems as sure to end up a win-win as any I can remember.

How is it a win-win? The Rockies could've gotten a better player than Chatwood or just kept Iannetta until/if Rosario is ready.
Dec 02, 2011 02:55 AM
Yeah, I don't really see how it's a win for the Rockies at all.
Dec 02, 2011 03:15 AM
It feels more like a win for the Rockies to me if I assume that they were going to continue to not play Iannetta, even if they had kept him. As a guy off the bench or as AAA-filler, Iannetta was worth less than what they got for him. This is not to say that it was a wise move to bench him, but the Rockies for some reason didn't want to play the guy, so if we accept that that wasn't going to change, then they got value.
Dec 02, 2011 12:49 PM
Richard Bergstrom
Assume you aren't going to play Iannetta and assume you want to trade him. Also, let's assume that no one needs a catcher (which isn't true). Why not trade him for anything other than a guy who has a K/BB ratio of 1 and a k/9 of 4.5 when you already play in a park a mile above sea level? Especially when you're the Rockies who already have a pretty full starting rotation? This kind of trade reminds me of how much the Rockies hyped up Greg Smith in the Holliday trade.

Integrated Information Management Essay
Integrated Information Management
Economic, sociological, political, and technological environments make up the four external considerations. The sociological domain covers community values and the larger political divisions and their agencies. It comes up with lists – of people, their problems, needs, strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities – in a data form that is easy to report. The political domain encompasses what the Board of Directors will manage, and how to handle their concerns. The economic domain is sources of funds, contributions, and referrals, and also includes customers and the company's competitors.
It aims to get the most from these sources. The technological domain includes technological advancement, so that a company remains on top of new technology. Organizational purpose, mission statement and philosophy, organizational planning, organizational operations, Human Resources, technological factors, and financial assets are the Internal considerations. The factors that influence a company's goal sare covered by organizational purpose. It checks that all data about populations and expected outcomes has been gathered so that it can move ahead.
Organizational planning keeps track of goals and marks their achievement. Organizational resources makes sure that the members of each department are doing what they are supposed to be doing. Human Resources wants information about its demographics, licensing, certifications, and staff training.

Nothing says the holidays and subsequent shopping quite like combing the online aisles of Amazon or hitting the brick and mortar Best Buy retailer in search of an appliance or electronic gadget that fits nicely with the tech savvy person on your wish list.
The vast number of products only makes finding the perfect gift that much more difficult in a sea of worthwhile contenders. For those who need direction, you ultimately should take a long, hard look at the person on your list.
You certainly don't want to buy a state of the art coffee maker for your 14 year old nephew who might rather have a portable gaming system in place of a single cup brewer. Obviously, that example is quite obvious but in some cases, it isn't quite that black and white.
So what electronics or appliances are worth giving more than just a second look to this holiday season?
One product that is a serious winner and keeper for those who get it as a gift is the Bonavita coffee maker that allows you to buy fresh coffee, grind it and have the perfect, freshest cup every time. What's nice is the coffee maker comes as a one piece and will allow you not to buy two separate gifts the counter top of the person who's getting the present. Coffee drinkers who love that freshly brewed coffee often fall victim to the big box coffee stops like Starbucks, but you'll not only be giving them the same coffee taste they love but also saving them money in the process.

|Notable Facts
The Butt of Mercury
|First Appearance
Mercury is a real-life planet existing in the Solar System. It is the closest planet to the Sun and has boiling hot days and ice cold nights.
In Invader Zim, Mercury is a planet featured in the episode "Battle of the Planets". The planet contained a strange formation called the "Butt of Mercury". This planet had been converted into a spacecraft by the aliens that lived on Mars, like they also did with Mars before they worked themselves into extinction. It was done to test if the process could work on Mars. Dib used the planet to stop Zim from crushing the human race by rolling Mars (also a spacecraft) over Earth's surface, which the Almighty Tallest found hilarious.
It is unknown what happened to it after Dib defeated Zim in the Battle of the Planets; it was possibly put back into orbit by Dib, or it might have been broken loose from its orbit to drift across the universe, the same as Mars.
- There is no 'butt' on Mercury. Rather, this is a parody of the "face" on Mars, an actual natural formation.

Chris Rock's divorce fallout
Chris Rock has reportedly not seen the seven-year-old girl who lived with his family since infancy in a year.
The American comedian filed for divorce from his wife Malaak late last year and according to TMZ, he has not subsequently seen Ntombi, the South African girl who has been living with the Rock family since 2008.
The 50-year-old star - who has two biological daughters, 12-year-old Lola and 10-year-old Zahra, with his estranged wife - previously admitted being a father was a responsibility he relished.
He said: "When I hear people talk about juggling, or the sacrifices they make for their children, I look at them like they're crazy.
"Because 'sacrifice' infers that there was something better to do than being with your children. And I've never been with my kids and gone, 'Man, I wish I was on my stage right now.'"
Chris confessed he often wishes he could spend more time with his children.
He said: "I've never been with my kids and gone, 'Man, it'd be so great if I was on a movie set right now.' But I've been doing a movie and wished that I was with my kids."

As oil flounders--ruled by wild speculation and held hostage by OPEC whispers--lithium explodes to the top of the commodities line-up. The rules of this fundamentally fantastic game are changing, and one explorer has emerged ahead of the junior pack as a major-league project generator.
This is now definitively a junior explorers game, and Nevada Energy Metals (OTCQB:SSMLF)
is a leading the charge for discovery of new production of lithium as supply lags behind phenomenal demand. Nevada Energy Metals has achieved this feat by scooping up a significant portfolio of highly prospective, unexplored terrain in lithium-rich Nevada.
It's a project-generation niche that no other junior is filling, and it's in a market that is moving so fast that investors are having a hard time keeping pace.
New Exploration is the Key to this Market
Supply is already tight, and it's only getting tighter. Electric vehicles are exploding into the mainstream from every corner of the earth. The latest indication was a landmark decision by Germany's Bundesrat last week to ban the internal combustion engine by 2030. Prices have tripled, and we're now staring directly at the next commodity barons.
They won't be those just hovering around the heart of the American lithium boom in Clayton Valley, Nevada—they will be those who cast their nets much wider and get ahead of the lithium development game.
Nevada Energy Metals is among the most forward-thinking lithium explorers out there, and it knows that Nevada's geology tells a story that is much bigger than Clayton Valley—a story of endless lithium wealth.
Nevada Energy Metals has not only secured an exploration target in Clayton Valley, but it's also expanding exploration well beyond. Earlier this year, it raised over US$1 million, making it fully funded for its ambitious exploration plans.
The company is changing the way this game is played, focusing on diverse acquisitions of high-quality lithium acreage. This is the only company in the field right now that is setting itself up as a major lithium project generator, offering investors a lucrative foothold while significantly reducing their risk with multiple lithium targets.
The Tipping Point
We already know that lithium is the hottest commodity on the planet and is fueling a massive energy revolution; and we already know that juniors are the key to the lithium boom. We are now at the next stage: the critical point where the best-positioned juniors reveal themselves.
From an investor's perspective, there's nothing stronger than Nevada Energy Metal's fast-moving strategy to secure a diverse, forward-looking portfolio, staking out high-potential land while negotiating joint ventures to cover exploration costs.
In the meantime, the company gets to choose which projects it wants to develop 100% in-house.
It's a winning strategy that has already netted the company US$350,000 in cash (including future payments on current agreements), plus cash equivalents currently in excess of US$400,000. The growth potential here is unlimited.
The momentum at this point is unstoppable: Nevada Energy Metals' line-up already includes 7 impressive Nevada projects, and exploration is moving at breakneck speed.
Samplings from the Big Smokey Valley project, which is 100% owned by Nevada Energy Metals, returned high-level lithium values from samples across 3,200 acres and 160 placer claims in very attractive geothermal areas that promise commercial quantities.
Sampling has returned even more impressive results at the company's Black Rock Desert project, also 100% owned. The Black Rock Desert Project consists of 128 placer claims (2,560 acres/ 1,036 hectares) located in southwest Black Rock Desert, Washoe County, Nevada.
So far, the results are comparable to those at ground zero of the lithium boom—Clayton Valley—where Nevada Energy Metals' BFF-1 lithium project abuts the only producing lithium mine in the United States, Albermarle's (NYSE:ALB) Silver Peak Mine.
Nevada Energy Metals also has nearly 170 placer claims in two other forward-looking lithium exploration areas: the Teels Marsh West project, which is on highly prospective lithium grounds in tectonically active territory, and the San Emidio property.
While Clayton Valley is the hottest playground in Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) gigafactory backyard, the new ground zero is the lithium-bearing geothermal treasures that lie beyond this. This is exactly where Nevada Energy Metals stands out among the juniors, and it's got the funding both to meet its ambitious exploration strategies and to maintain the momentum for investors.
From Pure-Play Investment to Pure-Play Profit
We are at the turning point here, where pure-play investment into lithium starts to turn into pure-play profit. It's no longer about hedging bets: The drivers of the lithium boom are clear and present, and electric vehicles are only the beginning. The second wave of the boom will be a major surge in energy storage and powerwall demand.
Even for the first phase, there is already talk of shortage for the supercharged electric vehicle industry, which is concerned about the readily available supply of lithium—and the rush is on for juniors to secure enough supply in time.
• As of the first-quarter of this year, electric vehicle sales had grown 42% year-on-year, worldwide, according to EV-Volumes.
• Everyone's jumping on this bandwagon—even Uber Technologies Inc.
• In Europe, EVs are already profitable.
• In the US, all by itself, Tesla is eyeing an estimated 500,000 cars by 2018—up from 80,000 this year.
• China is eyeing 5 million electric cars on the road by 2020.
• Everyone's building battery gigafactories—we count 12 in the works in total.
Lithium will go for a premium, and the market has already spoken, with prices spiking from $7,000 per ton to over $20,000 per ton earlier this year.
(Source: Economist.com/Citigroup)
It's a euphoric problem for lithium exploration companies and it has opened up the playing field to new entrants. The recent tripling of lithium prices may only be a banal harbinger of what is to come.
Smart Money on a Smart Multiple-Play Explorer
What investors are craving at the tipping point in this lithium boom is a lower market cap combined with strong management and a solid strategy that goes beyond the first phase of new supply development.
And from an investor perspective, it's not a game best played through the traditional big three lithium miners: Albermarle (NYSE:ALB) in Chile and Nevada; SQM (NYSE:SQM) in Chile; FMC (NYSE:FMC) in Argentina.
New supply is largely a junior game.
It's hard to beat Nevada Energy Metals in terms of diversity of lithium play. It's also hard to compete with its dream team strategy that focuses on de-risking for investors. Not only does the company offer a reduced-risk way to gain exposure to the precious metal of our future, but it does so at a small-cap price.
Finding a unique way to minimize risk and leverage capital and expertise while aggressively working toward acquisition—this is a win-win set-up in the lithium game, and its where shareholder value starts looking quite attractive.
The smart money is backing Clayton Valley as the next US lithium supply source. Genius money is looking at a much bigger picture.

IRSHAD MANJI: A mentor of the Trudeau Foundation, with which I am associated, describes a recent meeting, overlapping ominously with the bombings in
I am curious what oxbloggers think of her. She is certainly a controversial figure. Perhaps more well known internationally than she is in her home county,
I blogged her last year --
and here:
She's a brave lady and I applaud her efforts to open a serious dialogue on individual rights within Islam
She is a miserable failure in reaching out to the most "moderate" Muslims. Her positions simply strike Muslims as self-hating. Her interventions on sme really important debates in the Muslim world have been asinine. She is popular in the West because she speaks to the discourse on "modernizing" Islam, which is conceptually invalid. Whatever, keep her, the Muslim world has richer things going on, whether you see them or not (they have to be on CNN and have a blog to be seen, it seems), its Canada's loss.
i dont care if the Muslims ordain female imams. Not my business. Just as its not any gentiles business whether Orthodox Judaism ordains female rabbis, or Con Judaism ordains gay rabbis.Post a Comment
The modernization I want from Islam is a willingness to not Islamize the state, to not impose Sharia as state law. What happens WITHIN Islam, while important to say, muslim women, is not the Wests concern.
Pardon me for the reflexive Madisonian approach, but I really do think thats a better basis for dealing with Islam today.

Yes Roger, It seems very unstable. It just opened up again(10:03 UK time), very strongly to Italy, with IW3FZQ/B beacon, a few illegal FM carriers and sweeping CW tones. This lasted about 2 minutes.
There is a beacon on 28.232 SV2AHT that is just in noise but seems with less QSB.. I am copying it at the moment
it seems to be everything or nothing at the moment!

Land's End gets into the girls in STEM trend with cool space tees. Whoo!
As we get ready to send our girls back to school–some of us sooner than others (ahem, Kate in Nashville)–we are so happy to see the trend of science themed tees for girls hitting the bigger retailers, like Lands End. The space tee for girls that they offer, which features a cool solar system design, really is only "for girls" in that it's got a more narrow, contoured fit with scalloped hems and shirring at the shoulders. The NASA Crew tee for girls is also kind of cool for future Sally Rides. And yes, there are some space tee designs that get a...Read More
