Comments about Brunton O.S.S. 70M Compass:
It depends on your experience and financial standing if you will like the Brunton Model 70M. For me, it's a NO.
I have an extensive background in navigation and navigation equipment. One of my most treasured navigation tools is a Brunton 8099 Eclipse. I treasure it so much, I have a backup to my backup. I would like to have a dozen more. Once, a bubble appeared in the vial. I sent it to Brunton thinking they would toss it and send me another. They actually repaired it. It has worked fine since.
The 8099 Eclipse is quick, smooth and easy to read. Compared to the Eclipse, the 70M is unstable, slow, and more difficult to read. I would have expected such performance if I had paid $20 for the 70M. While researching the 70M, I was sure it would surpass the 8099. I was wrong. It took a step back. A big step.
Silva used to produce excellent navigation compasses. They also had a severe setback in performance. I have some old Silva units that one would have to pay much more than the original price for me to let go of them.
If you are considering purchasing a 70M, search for an 8099 Eclipse first. It will be half the price and twice the compass. Brunton will likely go the way of Silva. So, get an 8099 while you can still find them.
If you are determined to get a 70M, you will likely be getting one of units that I'm going to return.

Comments about Brunton O.S.S. 70M Compass:
Brunton's "Patented, tool-free declination" was horrendous on the unit I received. I nearly tore the skin off my fingers trying to adjust it. I eventually suited up with a sturdy pair of leather work gloves and was able to turn it all of several degrees. Seeking help I wasted my time sending an email to Brunton support. I never heard back.
Another issue I had with the unit I received was the vertical line on the sighting mirror. Mine wasn't vertical, leading to an odd view when sighting. It seems like the mirror has some extra space in the area it's glued into and it wasn't glued in properly. Maybe Brunton should outsource the gluing of the mirror to Asia if USA isn't able to do it properly.
I took it back to REI and bought the Brunton 15TDCL. The tool declination adjustment on it works fantastic and I am happy with it.

Comments about Brunton O.S.S. 70M Compass:
I just got this Brunton and it is my favorite compass, but it has room for improvement.
It is my favorite compass because it is very accurate and you really can get 1 degree accuracy. Most other compasses are just too sloppy to get closer than about 2 degrees consistently.
It also has a larger magnifier than most compasses, and the magnified index mark combined with the 1 degree ticks on the bezel really do allow you 1 degree accuracy.
I also really like the circle in a circle needle. It is easy to read and people don't accidentally align it 180 degrees out like you can with other compasses.
Some problems.
First, the instructional literature is horrible; it looks like leftovers from previous models and does not address any of the specifics of this model. Particularly disappointing is the section relating to how to adjust the tool free declination. Brunton, you need to get some better material on your website and some videos. Here is the trick: the declination scale on the back (bottom) side of the compass does not move; it maintains a fixed relationship to the black ring. What moves (with a huge effort) is the clear center sealed capsule that contains the needle. In my compass, that capsule was so stiff that I could not move it at all with my fingers. Finally I very carefully removed the back declination scale disc and removed the capsule and added a little silicon spray, reassembled the compass, and now it works fine and is reasonably easy to adjust without having it accidentally change declination. You don't need to remove the back ring to add the silicone spray.
This compass has three clinometers. Two are lame and inaccurate, one is good. The clinometer on the cover pivot only reads to the nearest 5 degrees, and requires you to look down at the bubble and then sideways at the hinge, so you are lucky to get within 10 degrees. This feature is not ready for prime time. The other clinometer scale is printed on the white cards that sit behind the baseplate. Unfortunately, these marks only serve to conflict with the similar but not identical marks on the clinometer inside the needle capsule. It is so bad that I added a piece of white paper behind my compass so i could read the in-capsule clinometer.
Third problem is that the cards have a number of typos and errors in them. The cards are a good idea, but the info needs editing. (clinometer instructions relate to a previous model; formula errors in height measurement formula sign and spelling error, knot info poor choices, etc.). The multiple scales of UTM readers are nice, but would like to see a heavier gauge plastic.
The sighting mirror works well, but since I also want to use this as a signal mirror, it would be better if this had a full size mirror like other sighting compasses.
Brunton added a bubble level to this model, but unfortunately, you can't view the bubble at the same time you are shooting a bearing, so you are loosing an opportunity to improve the accuracy. Hopefully the next model will fix this.
There are no luminous marks on this compass, so i will keep my Suunto MC2G for night work.
Overall, it is great compass, more accurate than any other and easier for most people to read than other models. It just needs some refinements.

The Airline Pilots Association expects about a third of the nation's 100,000 commercial pilots will train to become weapons-qualified "federal flight deck officers." But Congress hasn't authorized any funding for training.
Blake Wyttenbach, a pilot for Mesa Airlines, said he'll probably volunteer to carry a weapon, though he opposed the program at first. He said he'd feel a little safer.
But not everyone agrees. Jill Roach of Maryland was at a Washington D.C. airport Wednesday to pick up relatives. She said she'd rather see air marshals on all flights. That way the pilots could focus on flying.

Hundreds of seals gather on the ice of the Port Saunders. — Transcontinental Media file photo
The seal hunt opened in the Gulf of St. Lawrence Tuesday, but some residents on the Northern Peninsula are complaining they just can't get seal meat for food.
Abel Taylor, living in Raleigh on the Northern Peninsula, said that if the area wasn't so "maggoty" with fisheries enforcement officers, he would have just poached a couple of seals earlier this year.
"You can't go and poach one because, I mean, it's crawling with (enforcement officers)," Taylor said.
"If they spent the money that they're spending on guarding the seals and put it into search and rescue, maybe we'd be better off today than what we are."
Taylor has a commercial sealing licence, but at 70 years old he's retired and doesn't want to go out to the ice. Earlier this year, though, the ice came to him; the seals and the ice pans were right in on shore, and he said he could have just gone down to the beach and taken a couple animals.
"The younger people growing up today don't want it. They're too far into hamburgers and chicken and hot dogs and so on and so forth," he said. "But we older people, I mean, we all depended on it for years and years and years, and we still like to have access to do it until we die."
New Democrat MHA Christopher Mitchelmore said he's been hearing from quite a few people who say they've been having trouble getting personal-use seal licences.
Commercial licences cost about $5 and allow a hunter to take an unlimited number of seals. Mitchelmore said new commercial use licences have been frozen.
The personal use licences cost the same amount, but a licence holder can only take six seals.
Mitchelmore said a lot of people don't know that they can get a personal use licence, though.
"A significant number of people don't realize they can get up to six seals under a personal licence," he said. "It's not being marketed or promoted at all by the department of fisheries and oceans at a level that is acceptable."
Mitchelmore said that the enforcement and regulation is just too strict, and it's keeping from people from getting seals.
"They wanted to have access to seal — no more than three seals — so they can have a fresh meal of seal and to also bottle some up for later use," he said. "We do want to make sure that the resource is managed and it's very sustainable, but we shouldn't have restrictions and enforcement that are so stringent that it's impacting seniors. It's impacting people and their way of life."
Ron Burton, area chief of conservation and Protection for DFO, said that all you need for a personal use licence is a firearms certification and to attend a DFO information session.
"These sessions include training in the three-step process for ensuring humane harvest. In 2012 Fisheries and Oceans Canada, we actually had 14 personal use seal information sessions throughout the province," he said. "Any time we do these kinds of educational sessions, we advertise through various means — public notices, different media, sometimes in the paper, sometimes it's on the Fisheries Broadcast or a combination of both."
As far as enforcement, Burton said that shouldn't matter.
"It's illegal. If the season's not open, it's not open. Whether there's an officer in the area or not, people should not be using that as their criteria for whether they go sealing or not."
The folks on the Northern Peninsula have an unlikely ally on the issue, in Sheryl Fink, director of the seal program for the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Fink said the IFAW is opposed to the intenerational trade of seal products, but if the meat or fur is being used locally, that's just fine.
"If the meat is being consumed locally or if the fur is being worn locally, that's really more of a subsistence hunt," she said. "Our concern comes into play when animals are being hunted and their parts are being put into the international wildlife trade because historically, we see that as where we run into problems with substantiality and conservation."
Fink and a group from IFAW are in the province to observe and document the seal hunt, looking for fisheries violations and inhumane treatment.
Taylor, for his part, says he won't be going out this year. When the seals are in close to the shore, he could basically just go down to the beach and take one, but he isn't going to go out to the front in a boat.
And while the sealers who do go out will bring back flippers, Taylor said it's just not the same.
"I mean, you go into a restaurant and yes, they'll say 'fresh cod.' But, I mean, where do they get the fresh cod? It's fresh to some people because they don't know what fresh is," he said. "The same way with seal. I mean, you go out and go to some of those commercial boats that are doing the commercial seal fishery, the flippers or whatever they bring in are all thrown in a vat or a tub of some kind on top of each other, not iced half of the time. You're eating meat that's not like fresh meat."

A parametric study on the thermal performance of cross-corrugated solar air collectors
Lin, Wenxian, Gao, Wenfeng, and Liu, Tao (2006) A parametric study on the thermal performance of cross-corrugated solar air collectors. Applied Thermal Engineering, 26 (10). pp. 1043-1053.

A comprehensive parametric study has been carried out in this paper on the thermal performance of cross-corrugated solar air collectors. These collectors consists of a wavelike absorbing plate and a wavelike bottom plate which are crosswise positioned to form the air flow channel. Two types of these collectors are considered. For the Type 1 collector, the wavelike shape of the absorbing plate is along the flow direction and that of the bottom plate is perpendicular to the flow direction, while for the Type 2 collector it is the wavelike shape of the bottom plate that is along the flow direction and that of the absorbing plate is perpendicular to the flow direction. The aim of the use of the cross-corrugated absorbing plate and bottom plate is to enhance the turbulence and the heat transfer rate inside the air flow channel which are crucial to the improvement of efficiencies of solar air collectors. To quantify the achievable improvements with the cross-corrugated absorbing and bottom plates, a flat-plate solar air collector which has both a flat absorbing plate and a flat bottom plate, is also considered. The thermal performance of these three types of solar air collector are analyzed and compared under various configurations and operating conditions. The results show that although the thermal performance of the Type 2 collector is just slightly superior to that of the Type 1 collector both of these cross-corrugated solar air collectors have a significantly superior thermal performance to that of the flat-plate one. It is also found that to achieve a higher collector efficiency, it is essential to construct the collectors having slender configurations along the air flow direction, to maintain a small mean gap between the absorbing plate and bottom plate, to use selected coatings on the absorbing plate and glass cover, to maintain a higher air mass flow rate, and to operate the collectors with the inlet fluid temperature close to that of the ambient fluid.

The Camuesa Connector trail is one of the most popular trails in the Santa Barbara area. The ride starts with a fireroad climb to the trailhead, once you finish the grind you are in for a great piece of singletrack trail. The trail is fast and flowy, the trail is not overly technical but there is some fall exposure in one spot, a couple of tricky switchbacks and some roots. The trail is well marked so you don't really have to worry about getting lost. Once you get to the bottom you will come to a creek crossing, where there is water it can be pretty deep and cold so be sure to check it out before plunging in at full speed.

Globes: Stanley Fischer named among best central bankers
26 August 12 12:03–"Global Finance" has named Governor of the Bank of Israel Prof. Stanley Fischer as one of the world's six top central bankers, with "A" ratings.
"Global Finance's" Central Banker Report Card, published annually since 1994, grades central bank governors of 50 key countries (and the ECB) on an "A" to "F" scale for success in areas such as inflation control, economic growth goals, currency stability, and interest rate management. Subjective criteria also apply.
Global Finance publisher Joseph Giarraputo says, "During one of the toughest years on record, the World's Central Bankers were tested as never before. Every year, we assess the determination of Central Bankers to stand up to political interference, and their efforts at influencing their governments on such issues as spending and economic openness to foreign investment and financial services."…Read More>>

As many of us stand here, tired beyond tired, gleeful, ready to start work on governing, we may want to consider the GOP.
As reported earlier, there will be a meeting in Northern Virginia tomorrow so that the power bases can discuss where the party needs to head.
Remember, the minority party can choose to work with the majority, or they can choose to endeavor to be obstructionist. (If you haven't read Federalist Paper #10, by James Madison, now would be a good time.) Remember, a LOT of elected Republicans ran ads pointing out their ties to President-elect Obama. They may want to work with the administration, and not against it.
But those are the elected officials, and while they are elected, they are not "the party". "The Party" is the people who provide the money, write the platform, and commit to what the party will represent.
What are their options? Their current Senate leader is Mitch McConnell, who won a squeaker. And in the House, we have John Boehner, who may not survive in a leadership role, after losing two cycles in a row. Bush is the titular head of the party, since McCain lost. A new RNC chair will soon be chosen, and with him/her a whole crop of state and local operatives. Not to mention the pundits that lean right, the moneyed backers, the rank-and-file members and voters. And potentially, the Church.
So, how now brown cow? Here are the factions, in no particular order:
The Evangelical Right, which wants the party to move further right on SOCIAL issues, and doesn't care about much else.
The Co-Opted Base, aka the "old" Republicans, who are socially moderate (or don't care at all because they don't believe that the government should legislate social issues) which wants smaller government, fewer regulations, and less taxes.
The Realists, the group which believes that politics is not only philosophy, but also a career choice, and will want to do what is necessary to stay employed. This group includes the people who are willing to reach towards the center to the end of moving the country forward. This groups somewhat overlaps with:
The Right Intellectuals, including people like Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich. These folks want to be back in power on philosophical grounds as well as employment grounds, and can see a path to working with the Democrats to the end of recapturing the huge swatch of black America, Hispanic America, and intellectual America from whom they are now completely removed.
They will determine whether the GOP turns centrist in terms of economy, or right in terms of old-guard economic policy; whether they decide to let Church doctrine dictate social policy, or whether it moderates; and whether the neo-cons have a place at the table, or whether they will be ostracized.
We don't know how the negotiations will go, nor who will be willing to splinter and walk away.
From these discussions will arise the new Republican leadership. They will show themselves in who their leaders are in the House and Senate, how they advertise, how they use the MSM, as well as whether they are able to rebuild their party. It is possible that the Bush Republicans may evaporate, replaced with something else.
One of the major decisions will be the role of the Church in the party. Yes, I know about the separation of Church and State idea. The GOP does not. They used the churches to great advantage in 2000 and 2004 in their GOTV efforts. They have pandered shamelessly to the Evangelical right since the days of Reagan while simultaneously mocking them behind closed doors. Rick Warren didn't get national air time with President-elect Obama and McCain because of his looks.
The Democratic Party is a big tent, and will need to find a way to integrate the centrists and the left, and the far left. How far centrist are we willing to go to work with the GOP to the end of reaching national goals? I don't know the answer to that question, but I know that the Democratic Party, MY party, stands for freedom and inclusion, for the rights of ALL, and will not kowtow to a minority party dedicated to repression, exclusion, and a restriction of human and civil rights. And the people determining the future of the GOP know that also.
It will all be interesting to watch.

Obama win sparks celebrations outside White House
(CNN) -- As tens of thousands of people cheered Barack Obama's presidential victory at his home base in Chicago, Illinois, others were celebrating near his future house.
At least 1,000 people gathered on Washington's Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House late Tuesday night, shouting "Obama! Obama!" and "Yes we can!" Uniformed Secret Service officers were overheard, saying they'd never seen anything like it.
In Boston, Massachusetts, thousands of people -- many of them college students -- hit the streets to celebrate the election of the country's 44th president. The sound of car horns could be heard across the city, CNN affiliate WCVB reported.
Boston police said the celebrations were peaceful, but they closed some streets to control the crowds, WCVB reported.
In Chicago's Grant Park, where police estimated at least 200,000 had gathered to hear Obama claim victory, the crowd erupted in cheers and screams after news organizations projected him the winner.
From Harlem, to the avenue in Atlanta where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was born, to Oakland, Calif., Americans black and white celebrated Barack Obama's election with tears, the honking of horns, screams of joy, arms lifted skyward — and memories of civil rights struggles past.
In Seattle, crowds of thousands of people spilled into the streets near the Pike Place Market and on Capitol Hill Wednesday night to celebrate the election of Barack Obama.
They streamed into the streets of downtown Detroit -- black, white, Asian, Indian and Arab -- all Americans who were proud to celebrate president-elect Barack Obama and the new America he represents.
Black power fists were thrown in the air, large American flags were waved, people danced in the streets, drivers honked their car horns, men stood on cars playing bongo drums and the gleeful shouts of "OBAMA" could literally be heard from miles away.
For the second time in a week, Philadelphia had an impromptu celebration.
Six days after crowding streets to celebrate the Phillies' World Series victory, thousands of Philadelphians marched downtown on Tuesday night to celebrate Barack Obama's victory over John McCain.
A multiracial crowd of all ages came from all directions and converged at City Hall shortly after Obama was declared the winner. Under a light rain, thousands of people jumped up and down, cheered and danced in the streets while car stereos blared music.
Celebration is spilling into the streets of Newark as New Jersey's largest city rejoices in Barack Obama's momentous election to the White House.
People spilled into the streets late Tuesday night, as car horns honked and cheers could be heard for blocks as the Democrat was declared the winner.
Louisville, KY Courier-Journal:
After the presidential race was called for Democrat Barack Obama at 11 p.m., motorists driving on Broadway in downtown Louisville honked their horns and yelled "Obama!" out the windows.
People gathered along the stretch of Broadway between 26th and 27th streets, cheering, dancing and waving campaign signs.
Sometime around 11:30 Tuesday night, the cheers could be heard reverberating across downtown Ann Arbor, steadily growing louder and louder.
An impromptu parade that started on the University of Michigan Central Campus wound along downtown streets as hundreds of students - joined by passersby and others who spilled out of bars - joyously celebrated the election of America's first black president.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieftje, who was at an election party at Arbor Brewing Co. on Washington Street, celebrating his own victory for a fifth 2-year term. "You could hear them coming and then half the bar went outside and followed along."
Two hours later, downtown Santa Cruz was seized by a spectacle of mass celebration as hundreds of Obama supporters poured out from the sidewalks, high-fiving with hands extended from honking cars cruising by, hugging strangers and weeping like they must have done on V-E Day.
The cars, most of them fully occupied, snaked down Pacific Avenue in an impromptu recession, though the white-hot center of the celebration was at Pacific and Walnut. A tattooed and shirtless young man, his entire torso leaning out of the passenger side of a white Toyota spoke for the crowd when he screamed, "God bless America, and God bless Barack Obama."
Getting the idea? There's more, but you already knew that.
It's a great day for Democrats and Republicans alike. For Democrats, Barack Obama was elected President. For Republicans, there was finally dancing in the streets and Americans greeted as liberators.
I've had this on my mind all morning - "Heavenly Day" by Patty Griffin.

I was over the moon last night, but I am startled at how depressed I feel today. I am sunburned from holding an Obama sign with other supporters at a street corner yesterday, and I spent the day before making calls at the Obama Oklahoma City campaign office. Kerry didn't even bother to have one, so it felt great not to be counted out. It felt nice to think that the "50 state strategy" actually did include Oklahoma.
I am so incredibly sad that my state voted even less (barely; 34 vs 35%) for Obama than for Kerry. I am also disgusted that Jim Roth lost his corporation commission seat, which can only have been because he is gay.
I feel left behind.
There are lots of us like me in Oklahoma. Apparently, 34% of my state is similar to me. It is hard not to feel alone with the results here, though.
When the dust settles, I would love it for there to be some sort of "Oklahoma Project." I don't see how we are going to get any bluer without outside help. Can't someone with money make us a social experiment?
I feel like I have to keep living the Bush years by virtue of living here, and yet I'm a 4th generation Oklahoman and I don't want to leave. I don't want to give over the place I love to the radical right. It's how we all felt about the United States for the last 8 years, but it has been that way for my entire life here in Oklahoma, and there is no end in sight, even though the rest of the country has moved on. Our state legislature became even more Republican last night, and the moderate Republicans, like Mickey Edwards, no longer live here.
We need help.
We, the "good guys" here in Oklahoma, feel like missionaries in a hostile world. It is hard not to want to give up. Please be thinking of us.

I'm still pretty steamed about a lot that happened in the course of the presidential campaign, but I suppose today isn't the day to dwell on it. Let's enjoy it a little.
Okay, so maybe we'll dwell just a little. And blame Tom Toles for bringing it up.
I didn't think I could be much more offended than I was by the McCranky campaign's invention of a distinction between "real Americans" and presumably some other, "unreal" kind, including the stupefying lie that only its presumed "real Americans" work for a living. How stupid and dishonest can you be? (Well, apparently, if you're the Princess Sarah, there's no cap on either category. You were born to have contempt for actual knowledge and to lie your fool head off.) But then there was that McCrankyite wingnut who proclaimed that freedom isn't an American value, that it's more a French thing, whereas we go in for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
These people pretend to be the "real" Americans, and they don't even know our single most stirring and as well as most defining declaration, the Declaration of Independence? Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are of course "among" the rights (not the rights but among the "unalienable rights" with which we are endowed by our Creator in consequence of the "self-evident" truth "that all men are created equal."
There is no more inherently American value, and any wingnut doodyhead who doesn't know it might want to consider shutting the fuck up about what it means to be an American.
I'm just saying. (Okay, I've got that off my chest.)

PAD's All-New, All-Different X-Factor: From The Beginning
X-Poster of the Month & Year: (August) 2012 | March 2013
Come to Deathstrike & .A²: Mutant League Champions 2013
Well, as I understood it, the Phoenix is the life force (I am life and fire incarnated!). When it bonds with someone this host uses the life of the universe, the energy of the Phoenix. That is why the Phoenix broke her bond with Rachel, to avoid her aborting future life. And I think that is why Jean says "They will not let me stay here for long" when she came back at the end of Morrison's run. That is a nice detail about Phoenixes: They do not get to live long while keeping the power.
Of course, the actual event shows the Phoenix feasting on a planet for nourishment when it still lacked a host, which is not really coherent with that explanation.

So, if I get it right, the only lethal combination in this one is Windows 7 + LCD screen? Man, I've been using Windows 7 ever since it came out, my computer is plugged into 40" Bravia LCD. I have been browsing this and other conspiracy forums for years. I don't watch TV, apart from few games of Euro or World Cup in football. No news, no tv shows. Occasional DVD to say wow at the more and more advanced graphics used for special fx. I tend to question everything I find out from the digital world. GLP has some sick stories posted. Some of the people who post them should definitely talk to Frank. I play some PS3 games(sport, no violence) . I have fake FB account. Android phone. And a fake Google account. Two actually.
And then, there's another side. I fucking hate the whole system. I'm financially autistic, I have no budgeting skills whatsoever. I don't believe any politicians. Opposition in politics was created for illusive purposes. And to divide us. And we're being constantly reassured that some people are worse than others, that there are equal and more equal, religious beliefs and religious fanatics, that your sexual preference defines your personal values. To create conflicts. Two political parties that represent two sides of the same flag - money. Weapons industry, no comments if you look at what it could be spent on. Pharmaceutics - poison, mostly.Toxic foods, yes, I'm aware of them. We're being poisoned, slowly. There is alternative power. And it's free. As everything on this planet should be. We were born under the same one Sun and therefore we should all share equally all the available resources surrounding us, given to us by mother Earth. We don't need passports. We don't need money. Only weapons we need should be kept deep underground or in the orbit of our planet, just in case of interplanetary war. There is enough for everyone, just not everyone thinks they have enough. And I could go on and on and on... In other words, I feel like I'm waiting for the masses to wake the fuck up and be like "ffs finally, wipe your eyes and let's build it all from the scratch, this shit sucks."
So, how did I survive the massive hypnosis? Doesn't work on everyone? Or not everyone is a target? I should definitely be a target, browsing conspiracy websites, no proxy, freeware antivir and firewall, etc. Average Joe you might say. Well very fucking aware average Joe. No dithering shit will mess my brain up. I tell you what. Roll one, smoke one, chillax.
P.S. If I were to point to a hypnotic device for morons, it would definitely be the all-mighty-super-hipster-one-button-idiot-proof iWhatever. No offence.
Indeed the combo is win7 + non-apple LCD. Cool story btw, you and I think a lot alike.
The subliminal messaging is for another breed of humans, not us.
Just a quick question: Have you had any vision impairment during your childhood? Like squint maybe? For example - stereograms. I had a sight failure as a child and as a result I cannot read stereograms. Or watch 3D movies. During the time when my brain was suppose to learn the vision depth perception my eyes simply did not allow this to happen. Maybe that is the problem/solution? Just guessing here.
Wow I never thought of that. This might be the achille's heel of this type of programming. I've had eye correction since around junior high or so.

Picking the ideal hair salon in Richmond can be a very challenging process. Various salons focus on different treatments. Trying to find the best hair salon doesn't have to be challenging in the event you follow a few of these guidelines.
You first need to decide the kind of treatment that you are looking for, and then begin your quest to find the best hair salon. Are you just looking for a style and cut, or do you want more extensive care such as color or a perm?
Obtaining a referral is a straightforward way to start your search once you've established what you want. Make sure they have also obtained exactly the same kind of service you are interested in. People tend to hang on to good hair stylist when they discover them, so by asking your friends and family you can make this procedure much simpler.
Next, you should do some research online. There are many great sites to get information on local businesses, and you'll be able to get an objective viewpoint. This works very well if you can find reviews on the salons your friends and family have suggested.
Once you've found 2 or 3 salons that look good, visit each one and get a consultation. This is a great opportunity to talk to a few of the stylists that interest you. While on your consultation make sure you check out images of the stylist's prior work. Quite often they will be pleased to show you their work.
After you've completed the steps above you should have a pretty good idea of which salon and hair stylist you want to do business with in Richmond, MN. Make sure you take notice of the communication skills of the potential stylists. Good communication skills are essential to locating a good stylist, and this will most likely impact how happy you are with their service.
While trying to pick the best hair salon can seem mind-boggling, if you follow these steps it will make it less of a challenge. Remember, once you find the perfect hair stylist you won't have to worry again about picking the best hair salon..

Via Scoop.it – On This Day
1848: Niagara Falls stops. No water flows over the great cataract for 30 or 40 hours. People freak out.
The falls were already a tourist attraction by 1848, and villages had grown up on both the U.S. and Canadian sides of the river to accommodate the sightseeing throngs. Residents also built waterwheels to harness the Niagara River's power to run mills and drive machinery in factories.
An American farmer out for a stroll shortly before midnight on March 29 was the first to notice something. Actually, he noticed the absence of something: the thundering roar of the falls. When he went to the river's edge, he saw hardly any water.

Brandon Glover made 34 saves and the Hitmen's special teams came up big as Calgary shocked the Western Hockey League's top team - the Saskatoon Blades - 6-2 on Friday.
A whopping 80 minutes in penalties were doled out between the clubs, but it was Calgary that took advantage with Spencer Humphries and Jimmy Bubnick scoring power play markers, while Joe Kornelsen chipped in a short-handed tally for the visitors.
Bubnick added another, while Brooks Macek and Greg Chase also scored for Calgary, who've won three straight.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, which is the standard Internet protocol to transfer a file. There are many programs that use FTP to upload files. Included in this guide are directions to using several of the most popular programs for both Macs and PCs to upload your files to our Web Hosting servers. Here is a list of tutorials for most FTP programs available today.
Root Directory
vs. WWW Directory All domains hosted by DWHS Web Hosting have a unique username and password when accessing the server via FTP. Each hosted domain and virtualhost has an individual WWW Directory within the Root Directory for the account. FTP programs will log the user into the Root Directory unless you specify otherwise. When in the Root Directory, the WWW Directories is listed and usually accessible simply by clicking on the folder. Whenever uploading files, make certain they are being uploaded to the WWW Directory and not the Root Directory. Default
Page Firewall If a computer is behind a firewall, connecting via FTP may require adjusting certain settings on your FTP program. Though these settings may be found in different areas of the program, generally the way to connect via FTP from behind a firewall is to set the program to Passive mode.

Cowboy Bebop: The Movie… At Last
Other leading members of Sunrise's creative team were scriptwriter Keiko Nobumoto, character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, mechanical art designer Kimitoshi Yamane, and composer Yoko Kanno. Most of them had worked together before, in addition to having credits on other popular anime titles. Nobumoto had scripted Macross Plus, Kawamoto had designed the characters for Gundam 0083, and Kanno had written the music for Macross Plus (which needed an extremely strong score to support the plot about the rise of a popular singing idol who turns out to be a computer-generated Artificial Intelligence) and The Vision of Escaflowne. Yamane had not worked with Watanabe, but his credits included such other anime hits as Bubblegum Crisis and The Vision of Escaflowne.
The space-adventure update of Lupin III that Watanabe's team came up with was a "frontier" interplanetary culture of 2071 A.D. The Solar System has been colonized (forget the American publicity ad copy about humanity spreading "to the stars;" the action is all between Venus and Neptune), but it is a grungy society of mostly bubble-domed small communities on asteroids and the moons of the gas-giant planets, plus artificial space stations. Only Venus and Mars have any large cities. The cultural influences of this space society are as much Chinese as Western. There is a confusing conglomeration of independent governments, alliances and spheres of influence. The only system-wide organizations seem to be a unified police force, the ISSP (Inter Solar System Police), which is widely considered to be corrupt and ineffective; and powerful crime families which combine the worst aspects of the Italian Mafia and the Chinese Triads.
Due to the general helplessness of individual police forces at dealing with anything more serious than local petty crime, most governments have fallen back on posting rewards for the capture of serious criminals. This has created a new occupation of bounty hunters, popularly called "cowboys," who roam the Solar System looking for criminals with big rewards. Cowboy Bebop is about one particular "odd couple" team of these cowboys aboard the Bebop, a decrepit used spaceship. The core duo, introduced in the first episode, are Spike Spiegel and Jet Black, two macho good buddies who (it turns out from their conversation) only met shortly before deciding to team up and do not really know much about each other's pasts. The next few episodes add the remaining three of the team: Faye Valentine, a femme fatale bounty hunter, who alternates between joining their hunts as a partner and competing with them as a rival; "Ed," a young adolescent brilliant computer hacker (technically a she, although Ed is so androgynous that it is easier to think of her as an "it"); and Ein, an apparently normal dog (Welsh Corgi) with cryptic hints of abnormal capabilities. (One of the running gags of the series is leading the audience into trying to catch Ein doing something super-canine.)
Bebop History
The most important of the many elements that made Cowboy Bebop so successful is its sophisticated and mature attitude. Watanabe made no secret that, in addition to Lupin III, it was largely his tribute to his favorite American movies and TV series, which were shown in Japan during the 1970s and '80s including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (the relationship between Spike and Jet), anything with Bruce Lee (Spike is a martial-arts fanatic), anything with a blues or jazz sound track, and lots of Blaxploitation movies (the series has a very racially diverse supporting cast). Individual movies from Alien to Midnight Run were pastiched and parodied. One main attraction was that the audience was always kept guessing over the nature of the next episode. Would it be a comedy, a detective caper, an action thriller, a somber mood piece, which would reveal some more of one of the main cast's past, or something else unexpected. The hot music motif was emphasized in many of the episode titles (in English) such as: "Asteroid Blues," "Honky Tonk Women," "Ballad of Fallen Angels," "Heavy Metal Queen," "Jamming With Edward," "Jupiter Jazz" and "Mushroom Samba."

A little confession: I am not a morning person. In fact, I hate getting up before 9 a.m., and I'd probably sleep until 10 a.m. if I could.
I'm not sure whether it was too many late nights during college, or if I'm a night owl by nature, but it's far too often "late to bed, late to rise" for me. And I'm trying to fix it.
There aren't enough hours in the day for kids, hobbies, work, etc., and life's far too short to spend in a sleepy haze. Here are 10 tips for how I get up at 6:30 a.m. every (ok… maybe not every) morning:
1. Go to bed when you're tired.
You've probably heard that you're supposed to go to bed at the same time every night, right? Yeah, I tried that, and ended up staring at the ceiling for a few hours. Instead, I go to bed when I'm tired.
Usually this means that I do go to bed at roughly the same time every night. Eventually you get into a rhythm and it works out. One caveat, though, is that we geeks tend to get rather caught up in our own hobbies. Don't stay up later than you should just because you want to finish one more quest in Fallout 3 or because you have a blog article due the next day (ahem).
2. Pick out clothes the night before.
Honest, it really helps. Making decisions, even small ones about which shirt or tie to wear, can be challenging in the wee hours. I've even contemplated taking the Neil Gaiman route and just wearing the same damn thing every day. My wife says that's sad, but she's never gone an entire day with backwards underwear and an inside-out shirt.
3. Program your coffee maker.
Several folks told me to cut back on my caffeine after I mentioned to them that I was trying to get up earlier.
After I stopped laughing, I went out and bought some really good whole bean coffee (our recent favorite is Ruta Maya

A good example of this is the parish of Cairnie.
It only has two hamlets, Cairnie and Ruthven,
neither of which has more than about a dozen
houses. A pilot flying over the north east as a

a "desert" with no identifiable features.

For Immediate Release: December 6, 2010
Washington, DC – Following news reports that Microsoft will not support trumped up piracy charges against the Russian-based Baikal Environmental Wave, and ahead of the company's anticipated release of its new unilateral license for nongovernmental organizations and independent media, Human Rights First's Tad Stahnke issued the following:
"This development and Microsoft's anticipated new licensing agreement offer the company a chance to reboot on its commitment to protect human rights. We hope this leads to system wide efforts to protect activists and journalists around the world."
The developments reported yesterday in the New York Times regarding Baikal Environmental Wave are welcome. Microsoft needs to continue to follow through on its promise to oppose antipiracy prosecutions of civil society organizations and journalists, by releasing its unilateral license and taking further steps described below.
Over the past three years, Russian authorities at the federal, regional and local level have worked to stifle dissent through raids and prosecutions, justified on antipiracy grounds. As the New York Times has reported, Microsoft, through its local agents in Russia, lent support for, or acquiesced in selective enforcement actions.
Our organization first became aware of this situation when a Russian human rights defender we work with was targeted, and she reached out to us for help. Anastasia Denisova championed immigrant and minority rights as president of ETHnICS, a nongovernmental organization in southwest Russia. The authorities conducted office and home raids, and she was charged with piracy and faced criminal prosecution, fines and a jail sentence. Microsoft's local representative played an active role in the case. By the time the charges were dropped, seven months after the raid, for lack of evidence, Ms. Denisova's organization was no longer functioning.
Ms. Denisova said her experience wasn't unusual, so we investigated further. Human Rights First documented a pattern of selective enforcement of anti-piracy laws by Russia over the past three years. We uncovered 10 cases (see attached chart). These cases have had a serious impact on individuals and groups advancing democracy and accountability in Russia. As the attached chart shows, on the pretext of antipiracy enforcement, Russian authorities targeted four newspapers and a news organization. They also disrupted the work of an environmental group protesting a paper factory on Lake Baikal, a voter rights group on the eve of federal elections, two minority rights groups preparing to launch awareness campaigns, and a university's publishing office.
We brought the issue to Microsoft's attention and made a number of recommendations. The New York Times story prompted a public acknowledgement from Microsoft. General Counsel Brad Smith said that the company was focused on understanding its role in these cases and charting a new course forward, including a new unilateral license for NGOs and journalists. We took this fresh opportunity to work closely with senior leadership on the license and other steps. To help headquarters understand the situation in country, and the role of its local representatives – and implications for any proposed remedy – we also convened a meeting with Russian civil society affected by selective anti-piracy enforcement.
We believe Microsoft is on the right path – but they need to take several steps to ensure that they don't continue to facilitate politically motivated antipiracy prosecutions of activists and journalists.
First, Microsoft needs to send a clear and unambiguous message to Russian authorities that it will not participate in anti-piracy cases against nongovernmental organizations or small independent media and will discourage any such actions.
Second, it should continue to consult with Russian civil society. This will enable Microsoft to obtain advice on its license, "early warning" of new cases, and suggestions on additional steps to preclude Microsoft involvement in such cases.
In addition, we hope that Microsoft's ongoing investigation into selective enforcement will lead to personnel and policy changes to promote compliance and discourage complicity in selective enforcement, as well as tighter headquarters level oversight of the Russian anti-piracy team.
