In reversal, Inslee accepts June debate with McKenna for governor
Jay Inslee now says he'll participate in a June gubernatorial debate sponsored by the Association of Washington Business.
Seattle Times political reporter
In a reversal, Democrat Jay Inslee now says he'll participate in a June 12 gubernatorial debate in Spokane sponsored by the Association of Washington Business (AWB).
Inslee's campaign had rejected the debate earlier this week, saying AWB had acted in bad faith and collaborated with Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna on the scheduling of the event.
But on Wednesday, Inslee notified AWB he would show up.
An Inslee aide denied his change of heart was due to negative publicity from his earlier refusal to attend the debate, which had been widely mocked by Republicans.
"We had been hoping that we could find a different date, one that could be closer to the election," said Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith. "But if they are committed to doing that date in June, fine, we'll try to make that work."
AWB previously has held its debates in September, but moved this one up to June. The debate, held since 1992, has traditionally drawn both major-party candidates.
"We are pleased that candidate Inslee will participate in our debate and look forward to having a vigorous discussion of the key issues facing Washington state before a live audience," AWB President Don Brunell said in a written statement.
Charles McCray, spokesman for the McKenna campaign, said, "We're glad Mr. Inslee gave in to public pressure, regained his senses and agreed to the AWB debate."
Inslee, a seven-term congressman from Bainbridge Island, resigned his post this month to devote himself full time to the governor's race.

As forwarded from Facebook.com: Israel navy intercepts boat with ex-U.S. Rep. McKinney
Former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- The Israeli navy took control of a boat reported to be carrying humanitarian aid, a former U.S. congresswoman and a Nobel laureate Tuesday after the boat violated an Israeli blockade and crossed into Gazan waters, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The boat's crew included former U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, according to the Free Gaza Movement, a human rights group that sent the boat it calls "Spirit of Humanity" from Cyprus.
Along with McKinney, who served six terms in the House of Representatives from Georgia and was the Green Party's presidential nominee in 2008, Israeli authorities took 20 people into custody, the group said.
Without naming individuals on the boat, IDF confirmed the incident it described was the same one detailed by the Free Gaza Movement.
According to the Free Gaza group, McKinney said, "This is an outrageous violation of international law against us. Our boat was not in Israeli waters, and we were on a human rights mission to the Gaza Strip," before authorities confiscated cell phones.
"President Obama just told Israel to let in humanitarian and reconstruction supplies, and that's exactly what we tried to do. We're asking the international community to demand our release so we can resume our journey," McKinney said, according to the group
IDF said the aid aboard the boat would be delivered to Gaza "subject to authorization."
"Any organization or country that wishes to transfer humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip can legally do so via the established crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip with prior coordination," IDF said.
Free Gaza said the Spirit of Humanity voyage is the eighth such trip the group has launched. Five succeeded, the group said, but the Israeli military stopped attempts in January and December 2008.Also aboard, the group said, was Mairead Maguire, who co-founded a group that worked for peace in Northern Ireland. Maguire and co-founder Betty Williams received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 for their work.
IDF said the Israeli navy contacted the boat, which it called the Arion, while it was still at sea and warned the crew they would not be allowed to enter Gazan waters "because of security risks in the area and the existing naval blockade."
Disregarding all warnings, the boat entered Gazan coastal waters, IDF said. An Israeli navy force intercepted, boarded and took control of the boat, directing it toward Ashdod, Israel, IDF said.
The boat's crew, the military said, would "be handed over to the proper authorities."

When a person achieves independence and begins to live alone, usually the first move takes place in a house or small dimensions. This is because the facilities to pay the rent, and because buying a large property is quite inaccessible to the average citizen.
But having a small place in which to live not mean you can not have a design that blends aesthetics with functionality. Take for example the kitchen. This is a vital space in the home, and it never hurts to take into account certain aspects so you can enjoy the comfort necessary in a small room.
Today the vast majority of apartments and houses have small kitchen and living room integrated. This will save a lot of space while maintaining the required distances between objects so we will not clash with everything to turn or move.
However, aesthetically, this modality continues to face several opponents and to ensure that violates the design of the building. In this case, provided there are good options to give the impression that cooking and eating are not part of the same environment. We refer to "virtual separation."
Basically, both areas remain united but the prospect will say it is not so. In keeping with this method, can implement a small bar that serves as a divider between the two environments. Another possibility is to place different rugs on the floor of each room, or change the appearance of lighting to highlight certain areas of your home and "away" others through shadows.
Be resourceful. The vast majority of the aesthetic possibilities for a home or apartment come from the likes of his own people. The only important point to remember is to not mix different decorative lines within a building, because if not be the impression that it has formed a "collage" nonsense.
If aesthetics are fans and want the kitchen of their house or apartment really respond to two areas: functionality and design, then you should test the design of Logos Helena Coop. This is basically a giant cabinet is hidden in the kitchen when no efforts are being made there.
With four folds closed, left with the impression that this is a closet more. But when we opened the doors to a very large allowance, a large-sized closet and a mini fridge in the bottom of the cabinet. Everything is designed to provide the best option for comfort and in turn take up as little space as possible.
One of the most striking that this design is the color. Model Helena shows a shade of orange on doors and accessories, and applies different colors really well established in the environment, such as white.
Whatever the design chosen for the kitchen of your house or apartment, remember they need a more than generous and perfect lighting. I hope these tips have been very useful to renew the design of your property.

Final ReviewPros: Same reviewer again. Cons: It's refurbished so you're taking a gamble. Fortunately Newegg.com is very good about replacements as long as you call their 1-800 number and explain your situation. The automated email RMA doesn't mention that returns are free of charge. Tou need to call them and speak to a human. Good experience overall. Other Thoughts: In my opinion if you've been looking to get into photography this is a great camera to start with. It holds your hand on focusing and has a lot of modes to play with. It's very worth the price if you can catch it on sale. Did you find this review helpful? |

The Volquartsen Custom Superlite
You know how sometimes the field of work someone finds themselves in matches their name so perfectly it's almost as if they were born for that purpose? No? Let me fill in the blanks… the fastest man in the world is Usain Bolt. How the heck do you end up with a name like "Bolt" if you're not born to be a sprinter… or an electrician. The same goes for the name Volquartsen. Are you with me now?
The Volquartsen Superlite (AKA the "Top Shot Model") is NOT your average 10/22 rifle. It doesn't shoot like it, doesn't look like it, doesn't feel like it and doesn't handle like it. The workmanship is some of the finest quality you'll find in the combination of a precision piece/working man's rifle. We feel "working man's rifle" is a fair title considering how rugged & durable the CNC machined anodized aluminum receiver, the Volquartsen proprietary THM tension fiber barrel and the Hogue over molded stock all are. No to mention the entire rifle sans optic brings a svelte five pound weigh-in making it an uber friendly option as a backwoods plinker or a rimfire truck gun. The first impression of the Superlite is simple… but… VERY strong.
So what do you do while doing a rifle review on and testing a Volquartsen Custom Superlite 10/22 pattern rifle? You shoot it. A LOT. Which is exactly what I wasted no time in doing after Mr. Volquartsen and company sent me the rifle for review a couple of months ago. First up was reliability testing with various ammo. Most of us know 10/22 rifles are pretty dependable, and this one takes that reputation and launches it into the upper echelon (apologies for cliche adage). First off was quantity testing with over a dozen different brands of over the counter ammo. I'm talking the regular common stuff and the el-cheapo bulk boxes like Remington Golden Bullet, Federal Classic, Peters by Remington, Winchester Super X, Federal Lightning, Blazer and the list goes on. The most "expensive" ammo I bought was Federal Premium Match, CCI Mini Mag, and CCI AR .22 Tactical. I know some folks might say that's like putting regular unleaded in a Lamborghini Countach (I'm a child of the 80s), however I wanted to see how this rifle would perform with real world everyday rimfire ammo. NO COMPLAINTS. NO STOPPAGES. NO PROBLEM up to 600 rounds in this phase.
Because the very nature of the Superlite is so lightweight, quiet and accurate it's hard to put down. No matter what power level the ammo we tested lie in from the subsonic rounds to the hyper velocity CCI Stingers and the consistently strong CCI AR .22 Tactical rounds the Superlite fed with the same speed and consistency for each.
And since the Volquartsen is essentially just a 10/22 rifle albeit one on steroids, it takes standard Ruger 10/22 magazines and ships with the classic 10 round rotary magazines. I also worked in a new-ish Ruger BX-25 stick magazine and experienced the same consistent results as we saw with the rotary mag.
I already posted some initial info about the rifle's accuracy results on a windy day. Well, go figure my stupid luck every single day I got the rifle out to shoot on a bench it was windy. Like 20+ mph windy whether it be crosswind or headwind. That first day we saw $.25 piece sized groups (or roughly one inch) with just about every ammo type we ran during the test. The best that day were Remington Subsonics and Winchester Xpert printing about a seven-eighths inch (7/8″) 10 shot groups respectively AND ironically considering each are at opposite ends of the ammo spectrum in terms of velocity.
Wanting to decrease the variation and spread of group size as it related to the external surroundings I was battling I opted to change my accuracy test from a 10 shot group to a 5 shot group. The fact that most of these lightweight 36-38 grain .22 caliber rounds are traveling anywhere from 1050 fps (subsonics) to 1200 to 1400 fps-ish makes it easy for them to fall victim to varying and heavy winds with unfortunate regularity even at 50 yards so I felt this was a fair adjustment.
For what it's worth I typically won't bellyache about wind negatively affecting accuracy from centerfire rifle rounds. Living in Northern Colorado wind is a constant so I've got to learn to deal with it from the bench and the field as a fact of life.
The 2nd and 3rd time I buckled down for an accuracy test I was not disappointed even in the wind partly thanks to dropping from 10 shot to 5 shot groups to cut down on variation and also in part to moving from the shooting bench to a prone position with sandbags and from the Nikon P-22 Rimfire Scope to an older but crystal clear Leupold VX-II fixed 6x scope with much finer crosshairs. Nothing against the Nikon, which I actually really enjoyed, but I could REALLY cinch down and center things up with the Leupy. This time I saw the most satisfactory groups from (in descending order) the Federal Premium Target, Remington Subsonic and Winchester Wildcat loads all of which were nearly DIME (as in $.10 piece) sized groups. All groups claimed here can be seen pictured in the photo roll below.
Again just like during our reliability testing we experienced no malfunctions, stoppages, complaints, or poor performance in any way from the rifle after another 400+ rounds. Ironically the ammo that it seemed to shoot the least accurate was the CCI Mini Mag brand, which in my experience has typically made average rifles perform one level up.
Didn't I cover this already? It's a sexy beast. No raised seams at contact points, no burrs, no ugly finish marks… nothing. The threaded muzzle brake twists on tight but not so tight it can't be taken off for cleaning. The trigger group (Volquartsen's original drop in) drops out with a couple of pins and the modified 10/22 style bolt have a smooth gloss finish that aid in cycling and fit tightly into the CNC machined anodized aluminum receiver. While it all disassembles and returns to form like a dream, nothing is loose or stubborn in fit.
The Superlite rifle I received was shipped in a full length heavy duty Volquartsen Custom branded hard case that I had almost no use for the whole time I've had it. Why? I wanted to see how the rifle would handle being tossed around in my truck and lined up with other guns in the back seat trip after trip. The verdict? Despite being a tad dusty and a nick in the outside of the trigger guard you can't tell I didn't just pick the rifle up at my FFL.
Free floating the barrel is something that the Volquartsen kids have down to a science. Removing the Hogue stock from the action to reveal the bedding and the fit of the barrel to the receiver is a thing of beauty. Everything is square. There are no gaps. The integrated picatinny rail capping the top of the receiver is uniform and rock solid and all the lines are rounded yet firm and straight.
I'm not sure how important a trigger is to you in a rimfire rifle, but the Volquartsen is different. Perfect even. There is absolutely ZERO take up, the back wall is light yet solid and breaks like glass with very little over travel so finding the reset point after firing is a breeze.
I think I'm attached to this rifle. Every now and then I get something in that I enjoy so much I'm not sure how I would ever part with it when it's time to say goodbye. Yes they are a bit on the expensive side. Yes you'll have to save your pennies for a while to make it happen. But rest assured that when you make it happen there is no lack of bang for your buck in a Volquartsen product as they stand above the competitive and ever growing 10/22 pattern market. It's what you get when you pay for a Volquartsen Custom rifle.
And once you've got one in your hand, you can shoot one of the pennies you saved from 50 yards just like I did and sit back with unbridled pride in the finest rimfire rifle you've ever owned. I'd show you a picture of the penny I shot but it flew away and I couldn't find it. Same for the dime and nickel I shot.

Marc says:
this is a beauty and capable of making one reconsider the usage for a 10/22. Having said that, $1200 for a 10/22? Wow
Ebbs says:
That's a fair AND unfair statement all at once, Marc. It's based on a 10/22 but is most definitely NOT just a 10/22. Confused yet?
Marc says:
Ebbs- no no no, I totally get and can see that. Very fair and unfair…..I need to get over the notion that it's, "just a .22″ as its not fair. Its a lot of money but possibly worth considering one of my several 10/22′s to replace with this beauty;-)
Ebbs says:
You're spot on. My all time favorite gun is my great grandfather's Remington Model 34 bolt .22 rifle. It'll shoot .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle. It's an heirloom that I'll shoot, preserve and pass on to my daughter someday. Going out on a limb I'm going to say that the VQ rifle is essentially an heirloom quality/perfect gun right out of the box. I intend to find a way to keep it, shoot it, put the Nikon P-22 back on and have a hey day with prairie dogs out to 100 yards. Yes a .22 Long Rifle out to 100. No guff.
AaronW says:
Favorite gun in my collection? My Ruger Mark II, which I bought used – full Volquartsen package. Balanced, rugged, great-looking, accurate as all heck, and draws nothing but compliments at my local range…
Ebbs says:
From my experience AND going on reputation every single product that Volquartsen puts out is this type of quality. They do a great job of combining function and design.
Steve says:
Great write up… I've personally had the opportunity to handle one of these and it truly is one exceptional rifle!!! My son is fortunate enough to compete with one for Team Volquartsen. Here is some video to show how nimble and reliable this rifle really is…even for a 95 lb. kid!
Ebbs says:
Steve this is FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for sharing… Can I ask what brand reflex sight you guys mounted to the top of the rifle?
Steve says:
The fellas over at Volquartsen Custom mounted a C-More Railway on it…It seems to be the perfect combination as this rifle is set up for speed. It's awesome to know that all we need to do is slap a good scope on it to turn it into a precision shooter!
Holly Volquartsen-Kanne says:
This was a great article to read as I am the daughter who also is in the business. My brothers do a remarkable job and would like to give them a big pat on the back for making me so proud, they take quality and for me perfection to a new level when it comes to building guns, thanks again for the great article it made my day but now I must go back to work so more people can enjoy our products!
Ebbs says:

1991 GMC Jimmy 2dr SUV 4WD 2dr SUV 4WD
Well I bought my Jimmy new in 1990 right as they came in with the 1991s. Mine had 30 miles on it when I drove off with it. Now the odometer reads 743,251. This is the truth. I drive over 60,000 miles a year for business and have since 1985. Yes, most of these are highway but that is still impressive. I also take it fishing a lot and to the beach on occasion. I had the transmission done at 427,000 because it was leaking but it was shifting fine. I have just replaced the basics such as alternator, battery, water pump, and mufflers. And just last month I had my heads redone. That is what I call reliability.
Reliability and power, very comfortable seats. Great looks.
Better efficiency. But that is what you get from an old truck especially one with these kind of miles.

Well I bought this car with 19,000 miles on it and it will not stop running. Right now my odometer turned over to 277,000 and it runs like a new car with no oil burning. I have added many performance parts over the years and often take it to the mountains and beach. I hunt and fish with this as well as offroad alot. I have mine locked and geared raised on 38" TSL swampers.
Power, room, comfort, looks, convertible top, also have a 74 K5 so i can deal with half top. Roll bar, stereo, overall reliability and bulletproof design.

On May 20, 2006, the Michigan Cancer Consortium received the first-ever Exemplary Comprehensive Cancer Control Implementation Award from C-Change, a national organization comprised of cancer prevention leaders across the country. President George H.W. Bush, C-Change's chair, presented the MCC with the award during the 2006 Semi-Annual C-Change Meeting in Bethesda, MD.
Dr. Max Wicha, director of the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center and immediate past co-chair of the MCC, and Patty Brookover, director of the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, accepted the award on behalf of the Consortium. "The MCC developed its comprehensive cancer control plan in 1998, and as a result of implementation efforts by our partner organizations, progress has been made in addressing the cancer burden in Michigan," said MCC Co-Chair Vicki Rakowski, vice president for cancer control at the American Cancer Society, Great Lakes Division, Inc. "Evidence of our progress includes an increase in early stage diagnosis of breast, cervical and colorectal cancers and an associated reduction in mortality."

About C-Change C-Change is comprised of about 130 of the nation's key cancer leaders from government, business, and nonprofit sectors. Members include the heads of federal and state governmental agencies, private businesses, the motion picture industry, and nonprofit groups whose missions relate to cancer research, control, and/or patient advocacy. Other individuals with a deep concern about cancer and who have achieved prominence in the entertainment, news, and other industries or endeavors also are engaged in C-Change. Former President George H.W. Bush and former First Lady Barbara Bush are co-chairs of C-Change, and U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) serves as vice chair of the organization. These cancer leaders share the vision of a future where cancer is prevented, detected early, and either cured or managed successfully as a chronic illness. One of the underlying principles of C-Change is to leverage the leadership and expertise of all sectors of society to eliminate cancer as a major public health problem at the earliest possible time. The MCC's nomination for the C-Change award included a copy of the recently completed "Building Bridges" video that provides an overview of the Consortium and highlights activities MCC members are undertaking to control cancer in Michigan.

2 Tasting Notes
Followed http://steepster.com/teas/terre-doc/18738-the-rouge-earl-grey with this, and the difference is a bit in the range of eating chalk after enjoying some nice chocolate.
Awesome bergamote, floral and other perfumes representation here backed up by solid tea. I can't say I've tried so many Earl Greys in the grand scope of things, but this is definitely the best I've ever had.

Hospitable hotel near Sabiha Gokcen
Posted May 19, 2013 on Hotels.comWe stayed in this hotel on two separate occasions during our recent travel in Turkey because of its location near Sabiha Gokcen. The hotel has nice, clear rooms, and good Turkish breakfast, good wifi, etc. But what made this hotel a real gem was the Turkish hospitality. Whereas in more touristy areas of Istanbul, I felt frequently taken advantage of, the staff hear were a joy. They were incredibly helpful, warm, hospitable and made our stay. We left out bags at the hotel for a week between our two stays while we traveled around SE Turkey. We left our bags in our first room at check out and the hotel had already place our bags in our new room upon re-check-in. I also quoted the hotel staff an incorrect departure time for my flight and they went out of their way to make sure I wasn't going to miss my flight. The hotel is easily reached by short taxi ride from Sabiha or by E9 bus. It is also near the Princes' islands which made for an easy day trip during our brief 20hr stay in Istanbul after our travel around the rest of Turkey. Overall this was an excellent hotel and pleasurable stay.

Great Hotel for visitors to Turkey
Posted Oct 11, 2012The hotel staff was very accomodating and helpful, with much concern for our comfort. We very mcuh enjoyed the interaction with the staf and were pleased at the help given in such a timely manner with great suggestions. The location was excellent, with short walking distances to transit, shopping and dining. The hotel restaurant was excellent.

Excellent stay at Park156!
Posted Nov 24, 2010The place is under some renovations but these had no negative impact on our stay. Rather, I think it will make the next stay even more beautiful. The place is not the cheapest around, but the people are wonderfully nice, and the view of the Marmara sea is terrific. I highly recommend this place. However, note that the location of the hotel is difficult to find. There are several streets called Ankara Caddesi in the area and we were lost in the cab for quite a long time. The one you're looking for is on the coast of the Marmara just west of Sabiha airport. You can get there by cab, but you need to make sure the driver knows where he's going before you hop in. Other than that, as I said, we had a wonderful stay at this hotel.

The Easybeats
The Easybeats
The Easybeats occupy a unique place in the pantheon of 1960s British rock acts. For starters, they were Australian, except that they really weren't -- they met in Sydney alright, and being based in Australia with the talent they had gave them a leg-up over any of the local competition. But lead singer Stevie Wright originally came from England (although he'd been in Australia for some years), and bassist Dick Diamonde hailed from the Netherlands, as did guitarist Harry Vanda, while the others, guitarists George Young and drummer Gordon "Snowy" Fleet, were recent arrivals from Scotland and England -- most significantly, Fleet was Liverpool born and raised, and had been a member of the Mojos, one of that city's more promising bands of 1963 and 1964. They all had talent, but he had a sense of style and an idea of what worked in rock & roll; it was Snowy Fleet who came up with the name "the Easybeats," and the sharp image for the early group, which made them a piece of authentic Brit-beat right in the heart of Sydney, 13,000 miles from Liverpool and as precious there as water on a desert.

Reporter Gayle Tzemach Lemmon writes about women entrepreneurs around the world.
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon never set out to write about women entrepreneurs. She was simply looking for a great—and underreported—economics story after leaving ABC News for MBA study at Harvard to pursue her interest in economic development.
What she found was women entrepreneurs in some of the toughest business environments creating jobs against daunting obstacles. Since then her writing on entrepreneurship has appeared in publications including the International Herald Tribune and Financial Times along with the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation.
While working in finance at the global investment firm PIMCO, Lemmon went on to write a book about a young Afghan teacher-turned-entrepreneur whose dressmaking business supported women around her neighborhood under the Taliban. The Dressmaker of Khair Khana became a New York Times bestseller and the subject of a Harvard Business School case study.
Now a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and a contributing editor-at-large for Newsweek Daily Beast, Lemmon continues to travel the world reporting on economic and development issues with a focus on women. She is author of the Newsweek March 2011 cover story "The Hillary Doctrine" and the September 2011 profile on U.N. Women's Michelle Bachelet.
"If you're talking about entrepreneurs in conflict and post-conflict settings, then you must talk about women, because they are the population you have left."
"Microfinance is an incredibly powerful tool … but we must move beyond micro-hopes and micro-ambitions for women."
"Not one country in all the world has eliminated its economic participation [gender] gap — not one."
"The women in this room and all around the world are not exceptions. We are not a special interest group. We are the majority."

The Czech metal scene is awesome. I discovered another solid band in Section Brain after being familiar with !T.O.O.H.! and Lykathea Aflame, both of which have done some interestingly unorthodox stuff. I've also heard good things about Crux and Törr and will continue to delve further into the scene after I look into those 2 bands.

..at the "grassy knoll" for hill repeats. After a lot of scouting around where everything I thought would be good for hill repeats turned out to be not so, Ewen decided this grassy knoll, whilst not 'perfect' would, nevertheless, do. It's at the back of the Mittagong RSL Club!
So....10 minutes warm-up. Stretches & a few strides.
12 x 40m hill. Slow walk down recovery. Do 3 sets of 4.
This was a good session - I wouldn't call it even 'slightly hard' - I think I should have done more repeats or the slope needs to be a bit longer & steeper.....will have to see what the coach thinks, but will be OK till he returns from the USA.

PK38-25.1 with a background galaxy.
I subscribe in email to a wonderful service really designed by graduate students for undergraduate students. Many of the articles they post are really interesting and I love following Astrobites. Today, in this article, they discuss planetary nebula and specifically a study done on Abell 70 a very interesting planetary nebula that is a binary system and as a side note it has a background galaxy at the top of it. You can see this at this APOD image here. What is fascinating is that in this system the central stars are a solar-temperature main sequence or subgiant star (G8IV-V) and a hot white dwarf (WD) companion. The white dwarf is really faint and was identified not by optical spectroscopy, but by UV imaging (see the article please).
This planetary nebula is in the constellation of Aquila and is primed for both visual observing and astro-photographic. It has a visual magnitude of 14.3 so in the right size scope, but it is challenging because of the star field and neither a OIII or Ultrablock filer helps much here. Here are some links about viewing these:
Jay McNeil Data found here.
Info on an observation found here. Here is a copy of the information from that site, Adventures in Deep Space:
20 31 33.6; -07 05 19 | Aql | Urano: 298 | Mag: 14.3 | Size: 42" |
Another very curious planetary, not the least of it due to a galaxy shining through its northern edge (top in image to the right). Probably the toughest to find of Jay's list, due to an amalgam of stars in finder and eyepiece which would not lend themselves to easy asterisms; at least to my mind's eye! Neither my OIII or Ultrablock filters helped with this one. 4.8 Nagler (417x) used to bring out detail: Annularity glimpsed only with averted vision (otherwise a circular "blur"); northern edge only slightly brighter. No sign of central star. A very rewarding and challenging object. |
So if your in for a challenge this summer and like planetary nebula then this can be a good challenge object for you. I am going to try for it this weekend and will hopefully have a succesful hunt. Here are some finder charts from Starry Night Pro to help. It is just above the Saturn Nebula (another great planetary nebula to view) and Messier 72 & Messier 73. Click on the image to make it larger. The star hops are from Al Bali, the end star in Aquarius. Good luck!

10 information management tips to stay current on topics, prospects & customers
Posted by admin under Business Devlepment, Research strategy, Uncategorized
No Comments
This post was originally written and pared down for the LeftBrain DGA blog Demand Gen (r)Evolution – ME
Behind every news junkie or voracious reader is the know-it-all kid in school who always had his or her hand up to share the answer.
You want to know the know-it-all's biggest secret? They spend less time searching for information and more time consuming it.
And that's the coolest thing about information management in digital age. Now we all have the same tools at our disposal to be just as knowledgeable and, hopefully, the good sense to be a lot less annoying.
Here are the 10 steps I take before embarking on a research project to get smarter faster on a desired topic, customer segment and any relevant discussions occurring online.
Step #1 Give your research its own email address.
A single inbox for your topic or relevant discussion keeps them out of your existing workflow and gives you a place to consume when you're ready. I'd suggest using Gmail to create this only because it will be easier to integrate into my other steps below. Something like <topic>@gmail.com to sign up for eNews and LinkedIn alerts will keep you focused.
Step #2 Use a news reader online to automate the news gathering process
After logging into Google using your new email address, you are automatically logged into Google Reader. Here you can pre-select existing topics, create your own using simple or advanced search logic, import RSS feeds, or bring in any Google Alerts as newsfeeds – all on a single online dashboard. Trust me, this will become your knowledge hub, if it isn't already.
Step #3 Set up Google Alerts that align with topics and audiences.
This has become less of an email deluge by creating alerts as RSS newsfeeds. Check this out:
Creating News Alerts in Google and delivering them to Google Reader (Click to enlarge)
Subscribing to a Topic of Interest to Track (click to enlarge)
A News Dashboard with Key Topics (click to enlarge)
Step #4 Look for groups in LinkedIn with people talking about a key topic
Where appropriate, I have participated. If it's likely to be intrusive, I've watched discussions unfold, gleaning key insights into not only who is having the discussions but what is working or frustrating the heck out of them. If you're a member of a topical LinkedIn Groups, be sure to sign up for their email alerts – forwarding them to your topic-specific Gmail account.
Step #5 Monitor social traffic on the topics of interest
If you're lucky, you have Radian6 and a team of social media users who alert you to key conversations and places to engage on Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook and other communities. If you're like the rest of us, however, you MacGyver everything together with tools like TweetDeck , HootSuite, your news reader and your topic-specific email account for anything else you've missed. Sounds messy, but with a process in place it's infinitely doable.
Step #6 Set up a Readability account to quickly push information you discover in your Google Reader that appears relevant into the "Read Later" bin. You can also send the most relevant eNewsletter content directly to Readability when you're done gathering.
Step #7 Engage with people online in the social streams or communities relevant to the subject matter – See Step #4, but also pay close attention to leading bloggers in the area you are researching. Mine the comments sections to see who is seeking additional insight or offering their own. As you begin to understand the subject matter, this can also be a venue to ask questions or share knowledge. If you do decide to share, speak as a human being with a level of interest or expertise – not a brand megaphone. If your company has a relevant video, Slideshare presentation or white paper that honestly contributes to the discussion, go for it, but tread lightly.
Step #8 Set a time to review information collected – and stick to it.
What works for me is starting my day with a quick scan of about 30 minutes or so for any information gathered overnight – flagging seemingly relevant news using my Readability app. I'll do a similar sweep at the end of the day to flag new items online and in my topic-specific inbox. I'll also use Readability to narrow down the best of the bunch to review in-depth after the research phase ends.
Step #9 Look for patterns, odd ducks and hot data points or quotes.
After amassing this content and combing through it, you'll start to see similarities emerge, as well as a few eyebrow raisers or quotes that set the tone for your work. I'll bring these forward to breathe a little life into my findings.
Step #10 Put these discoveries into an outline.
Something as simple as:
I. Key Insights
II. Industry Trends
III. Quotes & Comments
IV. Conclusions
… gives me the structure I need to group findings in a way that is easy to communicate when called upon.
The key takeaway for all of this is to set up a system that delivers the right information to you so you don't have to spend countless hours looking for it.Reach out to me if you want to chat about this or share your insights below to make us all a little smarter. You can also learn how LeftBrain blends deep demographic, psychographic and sociological research into its strategies for clients here.
Until next time.

So Nvidia supplies there compilers to a company so there product works well on Nvidia. AMD is more than welcome to do that, and they did in the past as ATI. AMD has never done this, how many titles have you seen say runs best on AMD besides the FarCry 64 patch? AMD needs to get there compliers out so games can be optimized for there cards also, if they can't do that, then who cares. The way its meant to be played program is a program for compaines to get access to the complier and recive sponsoring from Nvidia to help fund the game. AMD is always welcome to do it also, they just won't/
Oi oi, not a fanboy and don't want to instigate. I do remember Radeon 9700 you know. It's just facts though - you look at specs and wow, GDDR5, wide bus... but still GFs win. Even if ATI gets one game, it loses in 10 other ones. There are more drivers problems with ATI too, and pricing kinda shows what's what as well.
After "bribing", Ati's presence is not welcomed anymore by the developers Ati doesn't have money, so they are happy if the final version of the game is tested on a Ati card at least...
Exactly. Plus, AMD needs to kick themselves in the arse and get thier marketing department going. As far as "running best on" that is all just marketing hoopla. AMD should have plenty of money to "grease the palms" of game developers.
id have to say Sempron and low end x2 does alot better for them, they are still in many OEM and office PC's sold, and are faster than the intel lot in that price range. ATI is getting beat in every price segment right now
agreed, alot of runs best on intel games back in the day did the oppisite but it just means they had the complier for it, if AMD did this i might take notice, but all i see them doing is screwing up
It's illogical what you've written here... Do you have any source that amd doesn't (want to) provide any help to the developers?
Confused? Confused? Either you wait and see if the 4870 is indeed faster then nvidia current offering or you remain loyal no matter what! It's nothing to be confused about at this point.
those where my thoughts... it doesnt seem right when nvidia does that. :shadedshu AMD/ATI doesnt do that afaik, but im sure its just a marketing thing nvidia has going... anyway im glad to see that gddr5 is confirmed!
I am liking the GDDR5 route, and also I am liking the 28 people viewing this thread (must be important!) Good thing ATI will make a comeback.
But if it is faster is will be more expensive. Also i don't know how good ATI's drivers are on nforce chipset boards.
But if it offers a major performance upgrade it's a LOT cheaper and a better choice to use a bit more expensive RAM instead of having monolithic cards with gazillions of transistors if it yields the same end result. At least power consumption should be lower that way
You could have easily visited your MB forum and would have received a good answer to that. Valdez statement should key you in on what the deal is IMO.
Well think of it as this: You have water cooling setup and want to decide on the size of the tubing. You can go 3/4" inner diameter tubing but you run the risk of a slower flow rate do to the size of the pump's barb only being 1/2" and it's power output (more/less). Or you can get a tube with an inner diameter 7/16" (which is slightly smaller then 1/2") which should maximize your flow rate. I believe this is what the following means: If I am wrong could someone clarify this?
that is all in opinion from my point of view, my x2 matches up to the 9800 gx2 easily, my max score on mark 06 was higher than the 9800gx2, same parts just different video cards. the cards are built for gaming, there isnt a good enough game to really tell what is better. right now i beat the 9800 series of invidia by 8 fps with same settings. it is all on the config of your pc ( i am only running 1 card right now too)
Looks like the 4 series will be mighty nice. I may need to sell my 3870 and buy 4870. Of course, Id love to CF two of them, even though I dont have a need for it.
prices dosnt matter its all on your setup. 9800 gx2 and the X2 3 series are basicly equal. i recomend X2 over 9800 gx2. right now the best computer out is the ati crossfire X quad gpu setup. my friend from css mark 06 score was 45k.... one main reason is the quad extream he has at 4.8 ghz with 8gb ram. but his friend got the 9800 gx2 sli and his was only 40k. crossfireX is the best thing out right now from what i have seen atleast.
ATI has worked with developers as well, and usually, the very, very few games that they've worked closely with devlopers, we tend to see the tables turned - i.e. Call of Juarez. Even games that are developed closely with ATI, but still brandish the TWIMTBP logo run fairly equal between the two (i.e. FEAR, when it came out, and even up to today). But, those games are few and far between - nVidia likes to pander to the poor, struggling game devlopers, who need the money. ATI cards have proven capable of keeping up without "optimized" game code, which says a lot, IMO. If we were to scrap all hardware optimizational coding, both companies would be on a level playing field. The way I see it, though, I wouldn't be surprised if nVidia is the next to come under anti-trust law investigation. They're still up to shady tactics, and odd coincidences pop up now and then - like Assassin's Creed and DX10.1 . . . funny how much better ATI 10.1 capable cards were running it as compared to nVidia's, and then DX10.1 is removed?! Makes you wonder why nVidia refused to support 10.1 to begin with, even though it's meant to run better than initial DX10 . . . and possibly that refinement is why ATI chose to be the only hardware manufacturer to support it . . .
ATI works a little with valve. Thats why there logo is in the pause menu in HL2:EPx. And Nvidias logo is in Crysis. But it's not like it actually matters.

New dolphin show triggers backlash
By Yi Whan-woo
A shower of criticism from environmental groups sprayed the return of the dolphin show on Sunday at the Seoul Zoo. The city government had originally decided to cease the show on March 19. The animal rights activists claimed the show titled "Ecological Tales on Dolphins" is a form of animal cruelty. The 20-minute live show runs three times a day and introduces five dolphins, including Jedol. Last month Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon officially terminated the dolphin show and moved to release Jedol into the ocean. Animal rights advocates believe that the dolphin was captured illegally. In contrast from the shows before March 19, the performance this time consisted of low-intensity activities by the dolphins, according to a Seoul Zoo official. Rather than riding on the back of a dolphin, a trainer stands aside and explains the nature of the sea mammals while the visitors observe the animals that are instructed to swim or jump in a pool. "It seemed as if the dolphins were bored since they stopped performing from March 19, and we wanted to help them recover their natural instincts," a trainer said. "The show especially is to give Seoul citizens a chance to see Jedol as much as possible as he will be released into the waters around Jeju Island sometime soon." The advocates rejected such statements and countered that the show is virtually no different from the one previously held for the past 28 years in a confined pool. "We would say this Ecological Tale thing is another form of animal cruelty, said an official from the Korea Federation for Environment Movements, a watchdog for nature and ecology. "A trainer induces a dolphin to jump by offering food rewards. This is exactly the same as before and is strictly for entertaining an audience." The Korean Society for Animal Freedom, a group of animal lovers who have actively protested the illegal poaching of sea mammals, echoed the view. "All we can say is this is still the exploitation of dolphins under the excuse that they are less extreme activities," the group said in a statement. Fearing extinction of the sea mammals, animal rights activists have opposed the commercial use of dolphins by zoos across the country, such as Jungmun Marine Park Pacificland. The maritime entertainment business company on Jeju Island is under pressure to release all of its five dolphins to the open sea. The Jeju District Court ruled on April 6 that the company's dolphins were captured illegally for financial gains. The company still runs the dolphin show despite the court's decision, and the animal rights advocates are trying to seek the release of the five dolphins as quickly as possible along with Jedol. "There are 26 dolphins across the five zoos that are confined for entertainment purposes or under the excuse of 'ecological experience,'" an activist said. "As the six among those 26 are set to be free, we'll push forward to bring freedom to the rest." The animal lovers say the public can still have a chance to observe ecological nature of dolphins once the business owners adopt open sea tourism. "More than 70 countries run tour programs in which tourists can enjoy dolphins in their natural habitat." |

We stayed here for two nights while visiting Legoland. Hotel Propellen is a four-star hotel only 500 meters from the park. It's very comfortable and seems to be popular with airline crews whose flight schedules terminate at Billund as well as families visiting Legoland.
Our one and only complaint was when we got into our room. The children's bed hadn't been made up and when we asked at reception, we were told that we had to make the bed up ourselves. This was a very poor response considering that this is a four star hotel. The last thing we wanted after a long day was to make up beds.
Because of this I've not given it the four star rating under "satisfaction" that it deserves. A pity really as it is a nice hotel and we enjoyed it here.
Unique Quality: Nice swimming pool. Exercise area and saunas next to pool.
The bar is very cosy with a view over the swimming pool. A great place to relax.
We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant but it looked good.
Excellent games room where our children played table tennis and pool.
Directions: 500 meters from the main entrance to Legoland.

Right: Cross-sections of two coniferous and one broad-leaved tree trunk. Photos by Maya Walters.
The central column of wood in a tree is called the "heartwood". All the cells in this layer are dead and clogged with resin, and are therefore unable to move nutrients through the tree. The heartwood's only job is to provide structural support. The outer layer of wood is called the "sapwood". This is the living layer of the tree, where all the nutrients are channeled. This explains how an old hollow tree can remain alive, for it is only the central heartwood that has rotted away. The diameter of either layer compared to the total size of the tree trunk varies depending on the species. |

Life is tough on the front line of accountancy. For more than five years, our intrepid correspondent has been bringing us news and views from a typical West Country practice.
Clients! Part II
I have never been good at pithy one liners and witting put downs, but if my professionalism allowed me to I'd be using them now.
As I mentioned last time, some clients clearly have unrealistic expectations.
Others simply seem to be living in a different world altogether.
Scenario: 31 December 2010 company year end - reasonable accounting records, kept on Sage by a retired FCA who seems to know his stuff - received our usual pre- and post-year end reminders, particularly our plea to contact us and arrange a timetable for the work so we can agree deadlines - chased up by phone - to date, nothing.
Monday midday a courier arrives with the records, Sage data on disk and printouts of the draft accounts.
Wednesday 8am I get an email asking how the accounts are coming on. What am I supposed to say?
Suggestions in the Comment box below please.
"They're coming on nicely, thank you. Still early days, though."
Stroppy reply
Excellent - completely in line with the agreed timetable ! (Non-existent!)
One liners
I find it very irritating when I get an invoice from someone 4 or 5 months after work is done, and as a result I usually tell them that it will take me as long to pay it, as they did to provide it.
Might fit this situation as well, if only to give the client pause for thought

The voting is still going on, but Sandra Bullock's Marchesa gown is by far the fan favorite in the Huffington Post reader poll. The Best Actress kept her look clean with minimal jewelry, straight and simple hair, a metallic clutch purse, and bright fuschia lipstick. On Monday's 'Oprah' she said the beading on the dress was vintage and described wearing it as a "once in a lifetime opportunity." Get a closer look at the winner's winning gown below.

Jennifer Lawrence may be cleaning up this award season, but once upon a time, she was just a young actress trying to make it. Last night, while accepting her statuette at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, she mentioned the gig that earned her a SAG card: a commercial for MTV's My Super Sweet 16. Obviously, we had to see this buried treasure. Check out a young Lawrence in the outrageous promos!

Buzz-Worthy Video of the Day: My Super Psycho Sweet 16
Has watching an episode of My Super Sweet 16 ever left you filled with rage? If so, you're about to get your payoff in the form of MTV's made-for-TV horror/satire of its reality series, My Super Psycho Sweet 16.
The trailer promises a plot and deaths that will be delightfully cheesy . . . and somewhat gratifying. Come on, you know you always wanted to see one of those brats get her head lopped off.To see the show's trailer, just read more
TV Tonight: My Super Sweet 16: The Movie
Yes, you read that right. No longer is "My Super Sweet 16" just a guilty-pleasure TV show where spoiled brats get lavish parties for an amount of money that could send them to college instead. It's also a movie — a direct-to-DVD movie, in fact — that will get its first TV airing on MTV today.
The movie, which thankfully is fictional, focuses on teen queens competing to throw the best party. It looks like standard teen-film fare, with plenty of catty comments and multiple scenes with characters typing away on their Sidekicks. And it sounds like MTV has more of this kind of thing up its sleeve: The network is developing three other teen films that would first air on TV, then be released on DVD, and possibly even make it to the big screen if they're well-received.
Those of you who are "My Super Sweet 16" fans: Do you think you can stomach a whole movie of it? To watch the trailer, read more
TV Tonight: MTV Monday
MTV Mondays are (sadly) becoming must-see TV for me again tonight, with the return of two of my favorite guilty pleasures: "My Super Sweet 16" and "Engaged & Underage." Neither is exactly classy television, but both are weirdly addictive.
I love the spectacle and the excess of the spoiled brats on "Sweet 16," and I both curse their indulgent parents and wonder what it would have been like to have my daddy make me a custom perfume when I turned 16. Besides, the show contributed to one of my favorite news stories of the past year: The father of participant Ariel is being sued in federal court by investors who weren't sure where he'd gone with their money — until he showed up on MTV.
"Engaged & Underage," on the other hand, was actually occasionally sweet in its first season. Sure, a few of the couples seemed wildly unprepared for marriage, but others honestly acted like they were in their relationships for life. And for a pure awkward-moment-per-hour ratio, it can't be beat; anyone else see the episode where the girl asked her future mother-in-law to give her a bikini wax?
Joining those two is the fourth — yes, fourth — season of "Making the Band." This time, Diddy will be at work making an all-male R&B group. Tell me: Will you be checking out any of MTV's Monday shows this summer?
Your Sweet 16: Super or Sucky?
MTV's My Super Sweet 16 is the reality show we all love to hate. Something about spoiled rich girls buying red carpet-worthy dresses and getting Ciara to play at their parties is both repulsive and irresistible.
Even if you just can't stomach the show, you should take this hilarious The Ultimate Party Planner quiz, which takes you through the various elements of a Sweet 16 party and lets you chose options at various price points. Would the attire include sandals and cutoffs with a Solo cup, or diamond cuff links? For centerpieces, would you like framed photos of you — or live trained swans? Answer all 14 questions, and the site will give you a very detailed breakdown of how much your party will cost. (Note to self: It doesn't help to skimp on the goodie bags if you decide to hire Kanye West.)
TV Tonight: "My Super Sweet Sixteen"
Between "The Hills" and "My Super Sweet 16," Mondays have become spoiled-rich-kid nights on MTV, and I have to admit I'm loving every minute. Sometimes I find myself watching TiVo-ed episodes of "Sweet 16" at 2 a.m., desperate to see if this week's princess is actually going to get Jay-Z to perform at her party. (Side note: Can you imagine these kids' weddings? I would love to see some of them on "Engaged and Underage").
On tonight's episode, a girl named Stephanie has big plans for a Venetian-themed party. If you're not quite sure what you're getting yourself into, MTV has a handy clip with the rules of throwing a super shindig — chief among them, "turning 16 means having no budget." For all the jaw-dropping action, read more

The Central Intelligence Agency publicly pledged in 1993 to release its files on its most important covert actions of the cold war -- coups in Iran and Guatemala, the Bay of Pigs fiasco -- in a matter of months. The promise is unfulfilled. The documents remain secret.
Why? A panel of outside experts hired by the agency cites "a clash of cultures" inside the C.I.A. pitting cold warriors against open-minded historians.
Another factor may be that the agency has devoted only three ten-thousandths of its budget and seven full-time employees to the task of making the documents public. A stack of secret files taller than 50 Washington Monuments awaits them.
The C.I.A. has another explanation: it's Oliver Stone's fault, sort of.
Mr. Stone's 1991 movie, "J.F.K.," which insinuated that a militaryindustrial-espionage conspiracy killed President Kennedy in 1963, provoked Congress to establish a J.F.K. Assassination Records law in 1992. It ordered that Government files on the assassination be made public.
Then President Clinton took nearly a year to name members of a review board to oversee the release of the files. Now the C.I.A.'s historians are carefully explaining to the board the precise basis for every one of the thousands of excisions they want to make in its documents. That time-consuming effort made the pledge on the covert-action records impossible to keep, the agency says.

Summer Math Fun: Resources for Families
During summer break, parents may seek online resources to engage children in math skills review. As you prepare your summer newsletter, consider including a Summer Math Fun! handout, highlighting several free math game sites. If you post the PDF on your classroom blog or send it in an email to families, they can click directly on the embedded links. Parents and other caregivers can access additional lists of games on the Support for Families pages, by grade level.
To encourage daily math discussions, families may also enjoy Bedtime Math. This free site posts a new problem for children to discuss each night, just as they might engage in a story before bedtime. Three levels address children at various ages: preschool, K-2nd, and 2nd grade and up.
This is a great list of resources for lower and middle grades. I also collected a set of online math resource links when my kids were in high school and preparing for college level math and science classes. My list became unwieldy, so I created a blog and organized all the resources by subarea (algebra, geometry, stats, recreational math, etc.) You can see it here:
Keep up the excellent work!

X Pole Sport or X Pole Xpert?
It is acknowledged that X Pole make the best quality dancing poles in the world. They are strong, smooth and precisely engineered items of sporting equipment manufactured to the highest specifications from the best materials.
The only decision left is whether you would prefer to own the static (Sport) or spinning (Xpert) model. We offer both ranges at the best prices with a choice of surface finish and pole diameters.
About X Poles
To put it simply X Poles are the best dancing pole available in the world.
If you consider Pole Dancing a sport then you need to buy sporting equipment to perform to the best of your ability - which is why you need an X Pole not a toy stripper pole! X Poles boast a wealth of unique features that their competitors lack. X-poles are used at more gymnasiums than any other brand of dancing pole and are the choice of professional dancers and dance schools.
There are two ranges of X-Pole to choose form the Sport and Xpert. Both models are professional quality and can be selected in 45mm or 50mm and in either Chrome or Titanium Gold.
X-Pole Sport (XS) – This is a static only pole (does not spin) - find out more
X-Pole Xpert (XX) – both static and spinning modes (easily flip between modes with hidden switch) - find out more
Features shared by all X Pole dancing poles:
All the new X-Poles are 'Bottom Loading' which means that they can be easily assembled from floor level without the need for a ladder.
The X-Joint system is unique to X-Poles it results in strong, almost seamless joints in the pole. This rigidity of design is one of the features that sets X-Pole apart from all other brands. The X-Joint system is patented so no other dancing pole systems are able to offer it. The result is not just the most rigid, flex- free pole on the market but also one of the easiest to assemble and disassemble.
It cannot be emphasised enough how important a smooth pole is. The X-Pole is the only dancing pole with no projections or edges for dancers to catch themselves on – smooth dancing from floor to ceiling. Even the locking switch that transforms Xperts from static to spinning modes is recessed.
All models have an articulating base which can cope with uneven floor surfaces such as floor boards.
The poles are suitable for fitting to almost all domestic buildings and without any additional tubes the poles can fit heights of ceiling from from 2235mm - 2745mm (7' 4" - 9'0"). If you are unsure read our section on X-Pole extensions.
The complete range of poles is listed below – alternatively find out more about the Sport and Xpert ranges.
We will be happy to answer any technical support questions you have alternatively you can find detailed specifications on the manufacturers website here
